2007 murder Hockey dream realized by goalie coach trial now before a jury Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

KIM DILLABAUGH, a goaltender coach with the Los Angeles Kings who also serves the same coaching role with the Kelowna Rockets, had his chance to lift the Stanley Cup along with the team’s other staff members after the Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 to win the team’s first NHL championship. sixth year with the Kings organization as the coach in charge of goaltender development where he works with the team’s young goaltenders. Once the team’s AHL franchise in Manchester, N.H. was out of the playoffs, Dillabaugh joined the Kings and was with the team for most of the Stanley Cup run. Watching Kings goalie Jonathan Quick win

the Conn Smythe trophy was extra special for Dillabaugh, who watched Quick rise through the ranks to an elite level in the NHL. “Jonathan had a tremendous season and obviously carried that through the playoffs,” he said. “He gave his team a chance to win every night and that’s what a goalie has to do.

“When you see a guy like that, who has been with us since he was drafted, work his way up through the minors to win the most coveted trophy in sports, it’s special.” During the season, Dillabaugh splits his time each month working with the Rockets goalies and traveling to work with Kings’ goaltending prospects. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

A jury has started to hear testimony that will allow it to determine what was in Trevor Shannon’s mind five years ago, when he allegedly pulled out a handgun and fatally shot a Kelowna teen. At the start of Shannon’s second degree murder trial Tuesday, Crown Counsel Duncan Campbell told the jury of five men and seven women that the accused’s mindset that fateful night is “what this case is about.” According to an agreed upon statement of facts read to the court, Evan Wilkes, 18, was shot in the head April 12, 2007, at 12:54 a.m., during a house party on Vimy Avenue. The gunshot came from a semi-automatic handgun belonging to Shannon—although not licenced to him— and not long after it was fired, he buried it in front of a dock on Okanagan Lake. It wasn’t found until several days later. The merits of other details offered by future witnesses about the night’s events and aftermath, however, will have to be scrutinized by jurors. And there will be plenty for them to sift through in the days ahead. Crown counsel is bringing forward 13 witnesses to recall the details of a night that’s already shaping up, through photo-evidence, to be a chaotic mess. A mix of forensic experts, police officers and the young friends of both Wilkes and Shannon, now 27, are scheduled to testify throughout the next couple of weeks. In an attempt to give the jurors a roadmap to their testimony, Campbell outlined his interpretation of the events that night. By his estimates, Shannon arrived at the Vimy Avenue party with several others some time after 8 p.m., which was well after the party had started. Several hours later, one of Shannon’s friends got into a disagreement with one of Wilkes’s friends, and the latter pulled out knives. Shannon then intervened and pulled out his gun as a means to defuse the situation, said Campbell. It worked, he said, but it also meant Shannon’s friends were no longer welcome to stay. Party-goers flooded into the driveway in front of the house as the young men left, said Campbell. At that point, Wilkes and Shannon got into a confrontation, and the teenager was fatally wounded. Witness testimony will continue over the next two weeks.

Kelowna Rockets goaltender coach Kim Dillabaugh fulfilled a childhood dream this week as a member of the Los Angeles Kings coaching staff. Dillabaugh was on the ice with the rest of the Kings staff as the franchise celebrated its first Stanley Cup championship. It was also the first time a Kelowna Rockets coach or former coach has been associated with a Cup winning team. “To be on the ice and to get your hands on the Stanley Cup is something everybody dreams of,” said Dillabaugh, on a stopover in the Vancouver airport, returning to Kelowna with his wife Bonnie and child Ellie, who were also at the game six victory. After the Kings clinched the Cup, Dillabaugh made his way to ice level, where he waited with the rest of the Kings’ staff for their turn to raise the Stanley Cup. “You wait your turn and when you get it, it’s like everyone else, you raise it over your head and give it a kiss,” he said. “It’s a special moment. It’s surreal. I don’t think it’s set in yet. “Being a part of the celebration…it’s something you dream of. I wasn’t fortunate enough to play at the highest level, but to be a part of it on a different front and to be associated with this organization was great.” This was Dillabaugh’s

NEWS ▼ FLOODING

Rising waters have isolated some area residents Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Residents of the city and regional district who live beyond the McCulloch Road bridge over KLO Creek, will have to take the long way around, via Highway 33, until repairs are completed on the bridge. It’s the latest victim of high water in local creeks due to heavy rains and melting snow. City crews discovered late Wednesday that the fast-flowing waters of KLO Creek had caused damage to one of the bridge abutments, so the bridge was immediately closed until repairs can be completed. The bridge, which is beyond Gallagher’s Canyon, will be closed over the next week while repairs get underway, but an Emergency Services plan will ensure emergency coverage for residents on the other side during the closure. Jason Brolund, Central Okanagan emergency program coordinator, said that bridge has been closed before for maintenance, and a shuttle was organized for the handful of people who live on the outskirts of Kelowna on the other side of the bridge. For up-to-date information on the closure, go to: kelowna.ca/roadreport. With a forecast for continued rain Thursday and again Saturday, followed by showers, there’s

no end in sight for residents dealing with concerns about flooding. Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist forecast a sunny day Friday, with a high of 24 C if the clouds stay away, but another storm is expected to hit this area Saturday, followed by showery weather. A record 20.4 millimetres of rain was recorded at his office on the UBCO campus last Friday, June 8, while 15.8 mm were measured at the airport weather station. Both measurements broke the previous rainfall record set in 1987 for that date, of 11.6 mm. Up to Wednesday, June 13, a total of 55 mm of rain had been measured this month, compared to the normal amount for the whole month, of 41 mm, yet May was drier than average, he noted. The record amount for June was recorded in 1990, with 103 mm. Rainfall varied considerably around the Okanagan, which is common with spring and summer storms, said Lundquist, but he says such weather generally only lasts until the first week in July. In addition to concerns about rising water in local creeks, Okanagan Lake is now forecast to rise higher than what is called full pool, or its target peak height, by today or Friday. Des Anderson, section head for public safety and protection for the forests, lands and natural

THE MCCULLOCH ROAD Bridge over KLO Creek was closed to traffic Thursday afternoon due to damage to one of the bridge abutments because of rising creek flow. resource operations ministry, says significant rainfall over the past weekend changed how they operate the lake. Sunday, they reopened dams on the Oka-

nagan Lake system to release as much water as reasonable south of the border. “We’re not aware of any problems downstream at this point,” he said.

Last week, it had looked as if the lake might not even reach full pool this year, but “We run the system based on the information at hand,” he explained.

Unfortunately, as the lake level gets close to its target level, there’s less room to move if something like the weather suddenly changes the situation, he noted. As well, there’s still more than 300 mm of snow remaining high in the Mission Creek watershed to melt, so once temperatures warm up at that elevation, snowmelt will add to what’s in local creek channels. Brolund admits frankly that makes him uncomfortable. “Even with a week of sun, I couldn’t relax because there’s still a lot of snow in the watershed,” he said. The city has applied to the province to have this area declared eligible for disaster assistance funding as a result of Mill Creek flooding its banks in the Bulman and Totom Road areas earlier this week and causing damage to a number of homes and businesses. Brolund explained that funding is available in unusual circumstances, which are considered to be a disaster. It takes some time to make that assessment, but it would mean that repairs would be eligible for provincial financial assistance. A successful application was made for West Kelowna properties affected by the MacDougall Road flood earlier this spring. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Heavy rainfall causes landslides on Myra Canyon Trail Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Landslides resulting from heavy rain in the past week have blocked the trail through Myra Canyon, making it difficult in places for cyclists to complete the trip through the canyon, but volunteers plan to work on clearing them away over the weekend.

Rainstorms dumping even more water on ground already saturated by rain and melting snow are believed to be the culprit, in addition to the recent loss of mature trees killed in the 2003 wildfire, says Ken Campbell, a past president of the Myra Canyon Trestle Restoration Society. The society works on contract with B.C. Parks to maintain the trail and keep

it clear. Crews of volunteers in three work parties had only recently completed the annual spring maintenance, removing rockfalls and slides that occurred as a result of winter weather. This week’s damage is worse than all that occurred through the winter when heavy snow closed the trail, he said. Campbell said trees that were burned

in the 2003 fire are now rotting and coming down, so their roots are no longer holding soil above the trail. Rain on saturated soil has caused erosion and instability in the area, with trees, rocks and mud coming down across the trail, but he said the canyon route that is See Trail A5

High water watch

Waterfront property owners adjacent to creeks, streams and lakes should remain alert for the potential unexpected rise in water levels in light of continued wet weather. Water levels are generally lower in most area watercourses but could rise again if there is any continued or substantial rainfall. Lakefront property owners are also encouraged to take annual precautions to protect their property, docks and waterfront structures from damage due to rising lake levels throughout the Central Okanagan. They may also wish to leave any wood debris in place along the waterfront to reduce the impact of erosion from the high lake water levels. With the high lake water levels the Regional Emergency Program is asking all boaters, skiers and wakeboarders to keep their speeds and wakes down, especially when approaching the shoreline. This will help to lessen the erosion impact from wave action during this period of high lake water levels. They should also continue to watch for floating debris hazards. Waterfront property owners who wish to remove wood debris, have a couple of options. Wood up to 20 centimetres in diameter that weighs 250 kilograms or less may be dropped off, free of charge at the City of Kelowna Glenmore Landfill or the Westside Residential Waste Disposal and Recycling Centre. Wood debris that’s less than five centimetres in diameter and under one metre in length can be placed in their yard waste cart for their next curbside pickup.

Wendy’s Dreamlift Day pioneer sells his franchises isn’t going anywhere. Tietzen announced his decision to sell the franchises this week. “I just need a new chal-

lenge,” said Tietzen. “I’ve been in the food service industry since I was 15; it was my 24th year with Wendy’s in the Southern Interior.” He said that he began thinking about selling the franchises last year; however, he wanted to stick around until the Wendy’s Dreamlift Day fundraiser, which Tietzen started in 1995, surpassed the $1 million mark. “Ten years ago, we set ourselves a goal of getting to $1 million. We wanted to reach that goal—that was really big for me.” Stepping into the former owner’s shoes is Ken Park, a man that Tietzen is confident will be able to carry on his legacy. “He’s from Grande Prairie; he’s a very successful franchisee; he’s got four stores in Alberta. With this purchase he will become the largest franchisee for Wendy’s in Canada,” Tietzen said. “I’m pretty comfortable because Ken wants to keep our legacies.

Even if I’ve got to go clean tables that day, I would still like to be involved in some fashion.” Nancy Sutherland, national executive director of the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, said that the way Tietzen managed to get communities involved in the Dreamlift initiative was “wonderful.” “Sunshine does Dreamlifts all across Canada, but no other area has a fundraising event like Wendy’s Dreamlift Day,” said Sutherland. The Sunshine Foundation of Canada honoured Tietzen last November by awarding him with the Spirit of Service award in recognition of his commitment and connection to the foundation’s cause. “His support of kids with severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses has been unwavering.” See Maxine DeHart’s column on A13 for more about John Tietzen.

But no, I would not try to take on (another) Dreamlift Day.” He will, however, look to lend his assistance with Wendy’s Dreamlift Days in the future. “I hope that they will

Shift in rental vacancy rates Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

In just a few years Kelowna’s gone from a notoriously difficult place to find a rental home, to a city with a bumper crop of vacancies. Although local renters are already well versed in their opportunities, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation highlighted Kelowna’s heavy vacancy rate on a national level Tuesday, listing the city among the top five major centres to rent a home in its spring rental market survey. As of April of this year, the rental vacancy rate sat at 5.2 per cent, which is significantly higher than it was in 2008 when it was 0.3 per cent—the lowest rental vacancy rate in the country. The swing in status can be attributed to a convergence of conditions sparked by the recession, explained CMHC market analyst Paul Fabri.

‘‘

THERE WAS ALSO SOME COMPETITION FROM INVESTOR OWNED UNITS… THIS YEAR WE’VE SEEN VACANCY RATES COME DOWN. Paul Fabri

Last year, when the rental vacancy rate reached a peak of 6.6 per cent, economic and employment growth were slow so demand on a once heated market died off. Then both mortgage rates and prices dropped, giving local renters a chance to make a move into home ownership, Fabri said. At the same time, some of the projects aimed at lessening the strain on the rental market were completed, and sev-

eral new rental buildings were opened for business. “There was also some competition from investor owned units,” he said. All in all, however, conditions aren’t going to get more bountiful for renters. “This year we’ve seen vacancy rates come down,” said Fabri. “As we move into the latter part of 2012 and into 2013, we’ll see our economy to pick up as the B.C. economy overall sees some improvement.” Kelowna is also expected to see further migration into the area, which may soak up some of the supply of investor owned properties that were listed as rentals in a stale real estate market. If that means rental conditions tighten to previous conditions, CMHC also listed the other cities with high rental rates. Ahead of Kelowna was Saint John, N.B., with an 8.4 per cent rental rate and Windsor, Ont., with a

7.7 per cent rate. Moncton, N.B., and Charlottetown, PEI, rounded out the top five, with a five per cent rental rate. CMHC’s spring survey also reveals that, in April 2012, the major centres with the lowest vacancy rates were: Regina, Sask., with 0.6 per cent rental rate; Québec and Saguenay with 0.7 per cent; and Guelph, Ont., at one per cent. Overall CMHC’s spring Rental Market Survey found that the rental apartment availability rate in Canada’s 35 major centres was 4.4 per cent in April 2012, slightly up from 4.3 per cent in April 2011. A rental unit is considered available if the unit is vacant (physically unoccupied and ready for immediate rental), or if the existing tenant has given or received notice to move and a new tenant has not signed a lease.

Police seize undried pot Kelowna Mounties seized over 25 kilograms of undried marijuana bud after being called to a home invasion early Tuesday morning. RCMP received a report of a break and enter in progress at a residence on the 800 block of Martin Avenue, on June 12 at 4:38 a.m. “Police attended and found that pepper spray had been deployed inside the residence and several

people were suffering its effects,” said Const Kris Clark. “Apparently, two men were seen fleeing the residence on foot and a police service dog was called to assist. Although a track did not locate the suspects, it was not completely unsuccessful as the police dog found several large bags full of marijuana along the trail. Police located more marijuana inside the residence

and seized over 25kg (55 pounds) of undried bud.” The suspects in the home invasion remain outstanding but the investigation is ongoing. Clark added, that although a large amount of marijuana was located in the house, there was no grow operation. “Charges have not been laid but we are certainly investigating possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking,” he said.

Landslide across trail cleared by volunteers Trail from A3 popular with thousands of hikers and cyclists every year has been checked out and is safe for use. “And a lot of people are already using it, in spite of the weather,” Campbell added. Volunteers plan to work Friday and Saturday to clear those three new slides across the trail. Later in the month, B.C. Parks crews plan to bring in heavy equipment to repair a big slide that occurred a year or so ago

it’s

near trestle six, below the trail, but very close to it, noted Campbell. That work will result in the trail being closed for a couple of days at a time while the equipment takes over the trail to get in and do the work. Closures will be posted ahead of time on the society’s website at: www. myratrestles.com. The Myra Canyon route is part of the Trans Canada Trail, built over what was the historic Kettle Valley Railroad, built in the early 1900s.

Through the canyon, the trail traverses 18 trestle bridges, some with panoramic valley views, and winds through two tun-

nels in the 12-kilometre stretch from the historic Myra Station to Ruth Station. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Keep a watch on interest rates

he real estate industry can breathe a sigh of relief, as can many homeowners. The Bank of Canada said last week 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. Those high rates had a lot to do with the last significant housing price correction in many B.C. communities. At that time, some people simply walked away from their homes.

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

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. Interest rates also have other effects, on retired people on fixed incomes. Low interest rates cut deep-

ly 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 those interest rates.

Omnibus bill: The PM doing what he wants, how he wants

o what can trying to save a covey of baby quail chicks have to do with the omnibus bill being proposed in Parliament this week by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government? It just goes to show that when you mess with Mother Nature, sometimes the best intentions don’t work out, but the damage is done. The story behind the quail is my wife and two youngsters came across four little chicks scrambling in all directions in our Black Mountain neigh-

bourhood with no moma quail in site. They scooped up the chicks, in danger of being run over or falling into the nearby street drain, and Barry brought them home. We know nothing Gerding about quail chicks, but we did our best with help from the Internet. Our dog apparently stepped or bumped one as it scurried around our floor, and it died that night. Very tender little creatures are these quail, as we learned. The next morning, we contacted a local woman who looks after abandoned birds and she came to

EDITOR’S NOTE

their rescue. Hopefully she will have better luck than us, with a second of the four quail chicks showing signs of badly suffering. Which brings me back to the omnibus legislation, proposing sweeping changes, containing more than 70 different pieces of legislation that will impact our environmental protection laws and federal Fisheries Act, as well as age of eligibility for Old Age Security and employment insurance laws. All of these and other changes proposed in this legislation are worthy of separate bills, each one debated on its merits. But worthwhile debate in Parliament will be meaningless, as Harper uses all his rules of or-

der advantages as head of a majority government to cram this omnibus bill through to the Senate. For years, U.S. politicians have hidden special entitlements, whether it be tax breaks for their constituent supporters or government spending projects, amidst legislation that deals with other issues. In the U.S., people complain about it but do nothing. And it appears we in Canada are falling prey to the same kind of apathy. Certainly on the environment and fisheries legislative proposals in the omnibus bill, those directly involved, from biologists to pro-environment advocates, have sounded off about the negative impact they perceive from Harper rewarding his corporate

friends with less bureaucratic red tape. But their voices are lost amidst the political spinning that goes on from politicians these days. In the U.S., politicians long ago stopped worrying about what the common folk think— they only worry about the millionaires and those who are engaged in the political process. Polls keep saying that we, the people, place a high priority on protecting our environment, but you’d never know it by Harper’s omnibus legislation. That voice seems to be drowned in a sea of apathy.

General revenue should pay back EI To the editor: I hope Faye Saxon has jarred a few folks memories as to reallocating Employment Insurance funds to general revenue. (EI Funding Sacrificed to General Revenue, June 12

Capital News.) When this was done I knew, right there and then, that the present situation would arise. A kindergarten pupil would have known this would happen, so

maybe the general revenue should get busy and put back what they took out of EI. This money comes directly from the working force of which I was part and parcel for 42 years

and never once did I draw EI. I know for certain that most folks are like me and this money belongs to the working class. So why are we now short that they have to start making new rules.

If they have no intentions of paying out they should not be allowed to collect from our pay cheques without our permission. Maggie Flood, Kelowna

Water key to sustainable Kelowna Mountain jobs COMMENTS COM MMEN MM ENTTS S FFROM RO ROM kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: Are the Kelowna Mountain jobs sustainable? If Kelowna Mountain [ski, golf, winery, resi-

dential development on Kelowna’s south slopes] becomes another Big White, closed for six months each year, then no, the jobs aren’t sustainable. Kelowna Mountain will be staffed by migrant students from Britain, New Zealand and Australia, looking for winter work, just like Big White. However; to keep Kelowna

Mountain open and operational 12 months a year is going to take a lot of water. Golf courses, artificial ski slopes, vineyards, hotels, etc., need a lot of water, especially when they are on the side of a mountain in one of the hottest regions in Canada. That, to me, is the big question—not are the jobs sustainable but is the water supply sus-

tainable. The Regional District of the Central Okanagan is right to put in all the necessary regulatory procedures to ensure Kelowna Mountain does not become an unsustainable environmental blot on the Kelowna landscape. Colin Banfield, Kelowna

Long live touchable, tactile paper books To the editor: Right now we are overburdened with hype about the invasion of eworld publishing. At BC BookWorld, we believe in the book, not the e-book. Some technologies do not change: The pillow, the spoon, the wheel. It is conceivable the printed book will remain as one of those sublime technologies. The Greeks used to go to caves and ask oracles to predict the future. There were always priests around to oblige. Nowadays many of the prophets of change have a vested interest in the inevitability of e-books and aggre-

gated book lists. These are the people who advise us that the invasion of e-book technology will crush conventional book publishing. As a library trustee, I recently met with 20 avid teenage readers from around Vancouver. They were asked if they preferred e-book tablets or books. All 20 teens enthusiastically affirmed their clear and strong preference for reading printed books. Although it might be scientifically feasible to feed oneself intravenously with a tube, instead of chomping with one’s teeth and swallowing with

one’s old-school gullet— thereby saving billions of dollars in labour time and energy—most humans still prefer to eat the oldfashioned way. Replicating our species has not radically altered either, although more efficient scientific methods now exist. The sky has always been falling in the world of publishing. I have no doubt that libraries and bookselling will transform. But the book is not going away. Long live print. If you want to endure a half-hour TV interview in which I tried to counter the flow of e-book hype, there’s one at http://youtube/Z-_

L2LI-c7E. Meanwhile, maybe more of us should start speaking up for our belief in the book. Every day we are being bamboozled by futurists who confidently declare the end is nigh for print. At the recent Writers Union AGM in Vancouver, for instance, a Toronto-based agent noted that print advertising was in severe decline. Well, yes and no. While the June issue of Quill & Quire has only one ad from a Canadian publishing company, the June issue of BC BookWorld has more than 50 book industry ads amid 20 pages of advertising in a 40-page issue. Don’t ex-

pect to read about that in the Globe & Mail. Our newspaper is available on-line, but that electronic version is a mere adjunct at www.abcbookworld.com. More importantly, we are now mailing the paper version of the new summer issue to prominent book industry personnel across the country. We also provide a free public reference site for and about more than 10,000 B.C. authors at www.abcbookworld.com. Someone else is welcome to start a similar site for ebook authors. We’re sticking with print. Alan Twigg, Vancouver

Child sums up woes in Canadian banking To the editor: Have you ever wondered why Canada is in debt? This, and more, is what 12-year-old Victoria Grant of Cambridge Ontario asked on a YouTube that went viral. (http:// www.cbc.ca/news/offbeat/story/2012/05/16/ victoria-grant-bankingcanada.html). Surely, this was a wellrehearsed video, but Victoria explained in six minutes what I’ve known for several decades but found only a limited audience. A few weeks ago, five university students in Kelowna, third and fourth year students, pretended and lived like they were homeless on campus. We talked, and I gave each of them four pages of thought-provoking material. I later asked one lady what she knew

about financial matters, and where money comes from—[she said she knew] nothing. No email or questions from anyone. At about the same time, before Victoria’s video went viral, I’ve sent a video from Paul Hellyer on money matters, to a UBCO philosophy professor, who responded: “I don’t have the expertise to evaluate the proposal of borrowing from the federal bank, but I’ll ask some people who do.” Why is there such ignorance, of professors and students alike, on this most important subject? Most crimes and miseries have their origin in the lack of money and purchasing power that is artificially created. If people were educated and morally empowered and had a guar-

anteed income, nobody would steal copper wire from lampposts, or worse, from a 100,000-volt power pole and get killed by electrocution. Why would thieves in England steal a 10-ton bridge and sell it for scrap iron to a dealer, showing forged papers to police who directed traffic? In England also, thieves stole the lead roofing from a church and aluminium ramps for the disabled. On the flipside, why is there nothing that can be done to stop an Australian billionaire from building a second Titanic, which is wasting precious irreplaceable resources, just because he was lucky and has money? I think Victoria Grant would understand, and perhaps her classmates too, that Canada has no

need to spend $20 billion on fighter jets and, with our financial house in order, people would not have to work and supply the war industry to kill innocent human beings, half way around the world,

A new $1,000 scholarship honouring West Kelowna’s John Holdstock will be awarded for the first time this summer to a B.C. college or university student. Holdstock died suddenly at his home on Christmas Day, 2010 at the age of 74. He was best-known as a past president of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, director of the Canadian Wildlife Federation, past-chairman of the B.C. Conservation Foundation, president of the BCWF Political Action Alliance and chairman of the BCWF Firearms Committee, as well as serving as treasurer of the Okanagan Region Wildlife Heritage Fund Society up to his death. His emails were all tagged with the advice: “The world is run by those who show up.” A member of the Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club for more than 30 years, he took his own advice and ‘showed up’ to do his part to advance the cause of conservation and to oppose the federal firearms legislation.

Okanagan to see ban on motorized vehicles in the alpine regions Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

New legislation to protect sensitive alpine areas in the Okanagan Region comes into effect July 1, and will prohibit motor vehicles above 1,700 metres in elevation, except on existing roads or trails. Snowmobiles are excluded from the regulation. Rapid growth in the popularity of all-terrain vehicles and some of the highest density of roads in the province with easy access to alpine areas are given as reasons for the new legislation, which will apply to 11 per cent of the region’s alpine terrain. Similar legislation prohibiting motor vehicles from high elevation areas is already in place in parts of the Thompson, Kootenay, Caribou, Skeena, Omenica and Peace Re-

1st in Fabric Selection, Quality & Value

gions of the province. Bans on motor vehicles in alpine elevations in the Omenica and Peace are larger in area than the Okanagan Region regulation, but they don’t have the same high levels of access, road and trail density, or off-road recreational use that the Okanagan does. It’s the first time such a ban has covered an entire region in B.C. It’s being considered a pilot for determining whether such a move will work to reduce off-road damage to vulnerable alpine vegetation in areas of higher access and recreational use. Because of the very short season for plants to grow at high elevations, between snowmelt in spring or early summer, and snowfall in autumn, they are especially susceptible to death rather than just damage from tires.

The new rules were approved by the provincial legislature during the spring sitting and have been included in this year’s hunting and trapping regulation synopsis. They received general support from such stakeholder groups as the B.C. Wildlife Federation, the Guide Outfitters’ Association of B.C., the B.C. Trappers’ Association, the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, the Quad Riders’ ATV Association of B.C., the Southern Interior Stockmen’s Association and B.C. Parks. The definition of road includes those with a paved surface, marked ski trails, those used for logging or mining, those used to access fences, power lines, wind generators or communication towers or “a trail on which there is no vegetation except on a strip that, if present, can be straddled by a four-wheel vehicle.” jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

New seniors’ expo reaches out for an older demographic Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

It’s no secret that Kelowna is an ideal location for the retirement-age population. And the increasing number of senior citizens hasn’t gone unnoticed by those in the trade show industry. The inaugural Kelowna Seniors Expo was held this past weekend at the Kelowna Curling Club. “The need is there. We’re seeing a huge swing now in seniors population,” said Jim Rice, manager of the 2012 Kelowna Seniors Expo. “There are 58,000 people that live in Kelowna and West Kelowna that are 55 years of age or older. “Over the next 15 years, it will become increasingly more signifi-

cant—this show is designed to stay around for the next 10 or 15 years.” At the event 52 exhibitors showed off their products and services geared toward the elderly on Friday and Saturday. Rice said that he is confident even more businesses will be interested next year. “We had some (potential exhibitors) that sat on the shelf this year. But they’ve come through and looked and said that they’ll be here next year. They were happy with what they saw.” Chiropractor Dr. Dale Forsythe was one of the exhibitors who wanted to be part of the inaugural seniors’ expo. He was on hand to teach passersby about the importance of the nervous system by offering a

computerized nerve scan. “People are interested in their health, but most people have no idea how their nervous system influences their health—we’re just not educated properly,” said Forsythe. According to Forsythe, by administering the nerve scan he is able to test individuals’ autonomic nerves, which control their organs, glands, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels that make up 80 to 90 per cent of the nervous system. “Most people don’t realize that we live our life through our nervous system…it’s nice to look after the one system that controls all the other systems in the body.” The 2012 Kelowna Seniors Expo was free and Rice hopes to keep it that way in years to come.

Scrutiny on business garbage disposal habits will be intensified Garbage from the business sector is under added scrutiny at the Glenmore landfill and for those not recycling properly, it’s going to get a lot more costly. As part of the commercial diversion program underway since early last year, staff at the landfill have been checking for mandatory recyclables in random loads of garbage from waste hauling companies, businesses, institutions and multifamily complexes. Loads containing banned materials (yard waste, cardboard, plastic, paper products, electronic waste, metal) are faced with surcharges, $150 per metric tonne over and above any regular tipping

fees. Regional waste reduction manager Peter Rotheisler says monitoring of loads is now increasing, with tolerance for recyclables and contaminants lower than ever. “We’ve been working with haulers and businesses for over a year, educating them about the many alternate disposal options available,” he said. “Garbage monitoring is here to stay. Just as residents on the curbside program are held to a high level of compliance, so too is the commercial sector. “It’s essential for businesses to be aware of all disposal guidelines, including the various provincial product steward-

ship programs and which materials are banned from burial.” The commercial waste diversion program, a joint initiative between the City of Kelowna Glenmore Landfill and the Regional Waste Reduction Office, is the result of a comprehensive waste composition study at the landfill in 2010 which showed 50 per cent of garbage originating from local businesses and multi-family developments could easily be diverted into an existing recycling program. Rotheisler adds there are many examples of local businesses and multifamily complexes improving their solid waste management systems. “Data suggests that this program as well as other related programs is making a positive impact, with more than five per cent less garbage buried at the Glenmore landfill from the commercial, industrial and institutional sector in the first 12 months since the program was initiated, which equates to more than 10 million pounds of waste. That’s an encouraging

trend,” Rotheisler said. Businesses and waste haulers need to also be aware that several provincial stewardship programs will be expanded in July of this year. These program expansions will include items such as lamps, bulbs and light fixtures from the commercial, industrial and multi-family sector, I.T and telecom equipment, medical monitoring and treatment devices, video game systems and accessories, power tools, sewing machines, exercise equipment and hobby devices. These will automatically become banned items at the Glenmore Landfill once the program kicks in. To learn more about disposal options for these and many other easily recyclable materials visit www.env.gov.bc.ca/epd/ recycling.

Protein intake important for endurance athletes

ecause of my training as a sports therapist, I see quite a few runners and endurance athletes in my practice. During the course of my history and examination, I usually give the endurance athlete a sports profile questionnaire to fill out. This does not just apply to competitive athletes; it applies to anyone who is engaged in training that is endurance in nature. This would involve your runner, swimmer, cyclist—you get the picture. If you get your heart pumping for a duration in excess of 30 minutes, this applies to you. One of my questions, I feel, is most crucial in determining your ability to overcome the rigors and demands of endurance training. I ask them: “How much protein do you take in one day?” It is necessary for the body to adapt, heal and build post exercise. On average, 80 per cent of the endurance population is not getting enough protein. For an athlete, protein is the most important food item needed to allow for tissue repair and muscle building. Our muscles are made up of amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks for protein. Our body does not make amino acids or protein as a rule, therefore, we need it from our diet. Most find it surprising that endurance athletes need more protein than do bodybuilders. By the sheer nature of endurance sports, we break down our protein, or muscles by the repetitive high-need demands of endurance activities. In other words, a runner, say, would break down their protein in their muscles every time they train hard. Well, that muscle is not only going to need to

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel be replaced, but you will need even more protein to have an adaptation, or building response. This is why we train; to get stronger and faster. To deplete your dietary intake of protein is entering into a futile cycle. Without it, you will never improve and you run a much higher chance of contracting an injury. Your exercise is only as effective as your recovery. Protein is also very important in maintaining a strong immune system. Without it, you are more susceptible to getting sick. How much protein is the necessary amount for a proper training and adaptation response? Dr. Maro DePasquale is an exercise physiologist who has spent his career answering just this question. His research, working out of the Bos-

ton Medical Centre, cites that the endurance athlete should ingest a dietary equivalent of one to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass. This is you minus your fat. The trick is in knowing what has what amount of protein. How much does an egg have, a chicken breast, a can of tuna etc? It is easy enough to look up. Become a label reader—it is often some of the most important reading you will do. So, if you are an endurance athlete, do not go to the trouble of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Make sure you monitor and supplement your protein appropriately. All of my athletes now know this could be your edge. After all, a Ferrari is no good without gas, is it?

▼ WENDY’S OWNER

Switching from burgers to vineyard winery This week’s column is dedicated to Jim Haire, long-time employee of Sears (retired) and a good friend of the Ramada Hotel. He passed away one day after his 65th birthday on June 11.

ohn Tietzen, the majority owner of the Wendy’s chain in the southern Interior and the founder of the annual Dreamlift Day fundraiser, has sold his ownership share in the nine restaurant locations. Tietzen sold his interest in his operating company, Inland Restaurants, to Ken Park, from Grand Prairie, Alta., who already owns four Wendy’s restaurants in that province. With this purchase, Park will become the largest franchisee of Wendy’s in Canada. Park plans to retain the Inland Restaurants name along with the other minority share owners and staff. Park also plans to maintain Tietzen’s charity support legacy, most notably being the Wendy’s Annual Dream Lift Day. The proceeds from that event benefit the Sunshine Dream Foundation program to send children with terminal illness or physical disabilities to Disneyland for a day. That fundraiser passed the $1 million mark in donations at the last Dreamlift Day this past January. So what is John going to do now? He is on his way to Vancouver for shoulder surgery.

Speaker encourages entrepreneurs Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Cameron Herold, former chief operating officer of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and one of North America’s most innovative business minds, knows that entrepreneurs can be grinning ear-to-ear one day and sobbing uncontrollably the next. But according to Herold, that whirlwind of emotions isn’t something to be ashamed of—it’s something to embrace. Herold was in Kelowna last Thursday, speaking to CEOs and entrepreneurs who were taking part in the Metabridge retreat: A tech conference that brought 300 Canadians and Americans to Kelowna for a couple days of learning and building relationships. He began his speech with a survey. “I want to take a quick poll of the audience before I start, just to see how entrepreneurial we really are. I’m going to read out a list of phrases that describes entrepreneurs. If you hear five words that describe you, stand up,” said Herold. “Are you filled with energy? Are you fluttered with ideas? Are you driven? Are you restless? Are

you unable to keep still?” After the first five characteristics were listed, the majority of the room was on their feet. “That’s actually not a list of entrepreneur (traits), it’s a list of traits for bipolar disorder.” Herold said that many extremely successful entrepreneurs are clinically diagnosed as manic depressive or bipolar. “We are different, we need to embrace that and tell the rest of the world: ‘Stop trying to teach us to be like teachers or lawyers—we’re not.’” Herold is a serial entrepreneur who has built up several businesses throughout his career. He is also a university drop-out who got most of his business training working for College Pro

Painters—at the age of 21, he had two businesses and 12 full-time employees. He explained that many CEOs go through a cycle of highs and lows. “The ride of an entrepreneur is very similar to a roller-coaster.” He described the ascending phase as uninformed optimism. “When you see something really risky in front of you, you don’t even see it as being a risk; you start doing things that are a little bit crazy to everybody else, but you seem like you’re perfectly in control.” The next step is rolling over the climax and looking down at a descending phase, which Herold calls informed pessimism. The descending phase of the entrepreneurial roller-coaster is very difficult emotionally, said Herold. At times it is difficult to think clearly. Some even consider giving up and selling their business. Herold calls the lowest point a crisis of meaning. He explained that it is wise for CEOs to get coaching or support to make sure that they can avoid crashing and burning. “If you can get through it, you come to an informed optimism stage. It’s not the big celebration

and it’s not the feeling of: I think I can,” he said.

“It’s the feeling of: I know I can.”

Kelowna Owls’ grad Sam Davies has earned a scholarship to play this fall with Montreal’s McGill University Redmen. A quarterback, receiver and safety in his two seasons at KSS, Davies first caught the attention of the McGill program at the Canada Cup last summer in Lethbridge where he played with Team B.C. After seeing more of the 18-year-old Kelowna native’s skills on video, then hosting him for a visit earlier this spring in Montreal, the MU coaching staff was sold on Davies’ versatility, his competitive edge, and commitment to his studies. “We came to the realization that he could do a bunch of different things and it wasn’t going to be too hard to find a place for him,” said Redmen head coach Clint Uttley. “He’s an above average player, and a solid prospect with great marks in school. He competes hard and he’s internally driven, so we like what Sam can potentially bring to the program over the next few years.” With the type of offense the Redmen will be running in 2012, Uttley said Davies will likely begin training camp as a back-up slotback, a position where the Owls’ grad can utilize his skills by both running the ball and catching passes. But because Davies is also a proven commodity on defense, playing at safety at some point down the road wouldn’t be out

of the question either, according to Uttley. Davies was a provincial high school all-star last season at the safety position. From Davies’ perspective, making the jump to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport level from high school will be considerable, but not one he intends on being overwhelmed by. “It’s going to be a big step, I know, but honestly I’m going out there to be a starter,” said Davies, the Okanagan AAA Conference Offensive MVP in 2011. “Maybe that’s not realistic, but I’ve never liked sitting on the sidelines. You might as well set your goals high, and see what happens.” At 5-foot-10, 165 pounds Davies is relatively small by football standards. But it didn’t prevent him from starring in high school, nor does he have any plans to allow it to hinder his goals at the university level. “I always wanted to play football and people used to tell me all the time that I was too small,” said Davies who has been timed at around 4.6 seconds for the 40. “But people started to notice that work ethic and desire outshines natural ability and size. “I’ve always been an OK athlete, and I’ve had to overcome that with hard work. I’m going to do whatever it takes at McGill.” In the Redmen, Davies is joining a university program which is in the process of being overhauled. After struggling the last few seasons in the Quebec conference— including going 0-9 in 2011—McGill has virtu-

Davies will attend McGill University this fall on a football scholarship. ally rebuilt its coaching staff with nine new members on the 12-man crew. Davies, who also considered the University of Regina and SFU as possible destinations, is excited to be joining a program with nowhere to go but up. “They made me feel like I would help them and make a difference, so that feels good,” said Davies who is enrolled in McGill’s education program. “When I was out there, their captain told me I was

in a great position, to get on the ground floor when the team was getting a fresh start. It’s exciting to be part of this and have a chance to be involved in the growth of the program over the next few years.” As for being on the cusp of beginning his career in university football and moving to one of North America’s most diverse cities, Davies couldn’t be more excited. “I just love being engulfed in a football atmosphere, playing with the

level of players I’ll see at university hopefully will bring out the best in me,” he said. “Getting out of Kelowna and seeing a different part of our country, not everybody gets that opportunity. Montreal is a beautiful city, who wouldn’t want to live there. “I’m very lucky, now I have to take advantage of it.” Davies will leave for Montreal on Aug. 8, with the Redmen to open training camp Aug. 10.

More than 40 teams served up plenty of competitive action during the annual High School Beach Volleyball Open last weekend at Kelowna City Park. In the Grade 8 and 9 girls division, it was an allKLO Middle School final with teammates Emily Draper and Quinci Birker defeating Aiden Lea and Alexa Eger in the final (19-21, 21-14, 15-10). Representing Immaculata, Kyra Cabral and Gemma Davies beat Mackenzie Kreeft and Steph Mintz of Vernon Secondary in an exciting bronze medal match. Grade 8 and 9 boys action saw Tanner Thiessen and Bailey Leatherdale of OKM take down Landon Matties and Sean Morgan (Vernon Secondary) in the gold medal game (21-17, 21-17). The Grade 10 girls division had 8 teams ranging from Vernon to Penticton. Mikaylee Pucilowski and Amanda Hardy of Kelowna Christian School defeated Jolene Lutz and Grace Freiheit of Kelowna Secondary for gold (21-10, 21-17). Grade 10 boys had an all-Penticton Secondary final where Logan Mend and Blair Anderson took

down Tanner Johnson and Kevin Saunders (2117, 20-22, 15-11). The bronze medal game saw local athletes from Kelowna Secondary, Jory Dickie and Liam Duncan defeat Matt Stadnyk and Kyle Hooper of Penticton Secondary School. The Grade 11 and 12 girls Division saw seniors Keirsten Mend and Jamie Craig of Penticton Secondary show their superiority in the final against Tori Taneda and Kate Valgardson from Kelowna Secondary ( 21-12, 15-21, 15-8). Penticton’s Courtney Milligan and KiahN Wheeler defeated Kelowna’s Breanne Enright and Meagan Witala for the bronze. In Grade 11 and 12 boys action, Liam Birker and Tyler Pomietlarz of Kelowna Secondary took down brothers Dane and Isaac Smit of OKM Secondary in an all Kelowna final (19-21, 21-18, 15-7). Volleyball B.C.’s upcoming events include the Youth Sand Series this Saturday, June 16 at City Park in Kelowna and the Penticton Pro Beach Event June 23 at Skaha Beach.

Spotlight

Taylor Turkington Midfield Hometown: Kelowna University team: UBCO Age: 23 if I’ll be in town or if I’ll be somewhere that actually has a high level, so it all depends on where my degree takes me. Q: Do you have a summer job? A: At the moment I’m just landscaping, and then I grad on Thursday and I’ll start looking for accounting jobs after that. Q: Being an accountant, does that mean you are a “numbers guy”? A: Yeah, unfortunately. Q: Do you pay close attention to any soccer statistics? A: I just check the EPL leaderboard from time to

time to see who’s going to be relegated. Stuff like that. Q: What kind of a midfielder are you? A: More of a defensive-minded midfielder. I’ll get up when I have to but I always try to stay back to help the defenders out. Q: So what in a game really gets you going? A: I’d say a good tackle, that usually gets everyone fired up, so it makes you feel good. Q: How have you changed as a player since you arrived at UBCO? A: When I was younger I was a lot more of a run-and-gun sort of player and then I had some injuries and that had me adapt my game a bit. I’m not as fast as I once was, because I don’t want to tear anything again, so I became more of a playmaker sort instead of running onto balls. Q: What do you have planned to celebrate on Thursday?

A: We’ll just see where

the night takes me.

Locals to take on English Channel

A few people might be very certain that they spotted Ogopogo in Okanagan Lake on Saturday morning in windy and rainy conditions. In actual fact, they saw ‘monsters’ of another kind. Dubbed the OMSC Lake Monsters, five members of the Okanagan Masters Swim Club braved 13 C temperatures and white-capped waves to do their qualifying swim for crossing the English Channel as a relay team next summer. In order to swim the 35-kilometer crossing (if swum in a straight line), team members Denise Cesselli, Leora Dahl, Paul Duffield, Phred Martin and Tracy Sutton had to do a two-hour qualifying swim in 15 C (or less) weather without the aid of a wetsuit during which they each covered approximately 7.5 kilometers. The sixth OMSC member of the relay team, Mike Stamhuis, is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and will do his qualifying swim at a later time. The OMSC team was joined by Mike Humphreys from Seattle who trained for six hours. Humphreys is hoping that his next solo attempt at crossing the Channel will be successful. Supported by a number of friends and family members, the team is mentored by another OMSC swimmer and open water coach, Brent Hobbs, who successfully crossed the channel as a solo swimmer in 2008 in a time of 10 hours and 43 minutes.

Next to Brent is Paul Duffield, Mike Stamhuis, Phred Martin, Leora Dahl, Denise Cesselli and Tracy Sutton. At the back is Mike Humphreys from Seattle. Just how demanding the Channel crossing is, is evidenced by the fact that fewer people have successfully crossed the English Channel than have climbed Mount Everest. When asked why they have taken on such a challenge Denise Cesselli said: “It’s a childhood dream come true. I get to swim the English Channel and the best part—I get to do it with a group of friends.” Leora Dahl responded, “I love a challenge and this seems like one of those once in a lifetime opportunities to really see what I can do.” Paul Duffield went back to his roots. “For an Englishman the English Channel is steeped in history.

conquest of Britain to the second World War, and of course the first successful swim across by Captain Matthew Webb in 1875. As part of the OMSC Lake Monsters I am looking to make my own little bit of history.” All six members of the relay team are either competitive swimmers or triathletes who hope to join the record books for crossing the Channel. The next challenge for the OMSC Lake Monsters is the Salish Sea Swim in August, which

will require them to swim from Sechelt to Nanaimo. This will serve as a practice run for the English Channel. Two of the relay swimmers are keeping blogs of their experiences leading up to the channel which can be found at NothingGreatIsEasy.com and LeoraEnglishChannel.com Brent’s experience is captured at http:// englishchannelogopogo. blogspot.ca/ For more information on Masters Swimming visit the OMSC website at www.okmasters.com.

A rainy opening day of action didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dampen the spirits of the athletes or spectators as Kelowna hosted the biggest ever edition of the B.C. Flag Football Championships. Eighty teams and more than 800 athletes from across the province took to the Mission sports fields last weekend for the two-day tournament, with players competing in the U10, U12, U14 and U16 divisions. The weather turned for the better on Sunday as the sun came out, and the playoffs and finals were contested in all age groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went amazingly well,â&#x20AC;? said event organizer Gerry Dirksen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Except for a few minor things, it was really a top quality event.â&#x20AC;? It was the fifth consecutive spring that Kelowna has hosted the provin-

cial tournament which has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception. The tournament grew by 60 per cent this year, up from 50 teams and around 500 athletes in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More kids and parents are aware of this tournament, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partly because of the success weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in the past,â&#x20AC;? said Dirksen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guests really enjoy coming here and I had so many thank yous from people from out of town for hosting this tournament. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice little holiday for a lot of people.â&#x20AC;? While the power base for flag football is mostly on the Lower Mainland, one local team did walk away with a gold medal. The Kelowna Mission Chargers took top spot in the U10 division after defeating the previously unbeaten Coquitlam Cain 12-6 in the title game, as Nate Beauchemin scored both touchdowns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our we kids

MY LOVE

It was late summer 1945 when my love strode into my life. I was working on the tobacco counter at the Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Store on Granville Street in Vancouver. I looked up that afternoon to see a tall sailor striding across the concourse and heading my way. He stopped at the counter, dropped two pennies and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matchesâ&#x20AC;?, well, cheeky devil that I am, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is that all you can afford?â&#x20AC;? His only response was the lifting of one eyebrow which also lifted the cap on his head then off he went. Oh, good one Win, I told myself, nice way to meet a fellow, no chance there. But that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the end of it because next afternoon he was back just as I was going off on my coffee break and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh great, are you taking me for coffee?â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when it began, a cup of coffee at Woolworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee counter next door. He was home on leave and soon has to return to Halifax. Many letters travelled back and forth. He knew my letters because they were written in green ink. In the spring of 1946 he returned home. We were engaged in April and married that October. I was 21 and he had just turned 20. So, 45 years and six kids later my love passed away but not before he had loved his seven grandchildren. He missed out on the greats. Memories are precious and he is with me always.

NEWS ▼ SPEAR GRASS

Annual invasion of wild grass can be harmful to pets T he summer is approaching, bringing along with it the typical veterinary issues that are related to the hot weather. Just in the last week alone, I’ve seen four pets coming to Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital with spear grass in their ears. Spear grass invasion is a subject that becomes relevant every year in the spring and summer seasons. Spear grass is a type

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz of a wild grass with barbed seed heads. The spear grass awns carry the seeds, they are very sharp and can bear a hazard to your pet. Spear grass is very

common in our area, and can be found everywhere including in your own yard. Spear grass is most harmful for dogs once it has become dried out and more easily falls from the stalks. It is most often a problem from late spring through the fall. The shape of the grass awns makes them very likely to penetrate into the body. Because of the shape

of the grass, it cannot back out the way it came in and so can only move forward. The most common areas in the body prone to spear grass invasion are between the toes and in the ear canal, but in my career I’ve removed spear grass from various places in the body, including the nose, eyes and the genitals. The awn burrows into the tissue and acts as a foreign body.

The body recognizes the foreign body and develops an inflammatory reaction around it. The area becomes swollen, red and very painful. If left untreated an abscess can be formed. An abscess is a pocket of pus, that keeps growing until it becomes very big and the tension might lead to the burst of the abscess and to a large open wound. When spear grass penetrates the ear canal,

The hard work of these volunteers will help this non-profit organization continue delivering traffic safety education to children, adults and seniors in our community.

the consequences can be severe. Because of the incredible grass migratory ability and inability to back out there is a risk that the awn will perforate the ear drum. This condition might lead to permanent complications in the ear. The symptoms of spear grass penetration are acute pain, swelling and redness. If found between the toes the pet might lame on the leg and will lick the paw constantly. Spear grass in the ear canal is usually manifested by a sudden onset of head shaking, scratching the ear and restlessness yelping. Having symptoms in only one ear is very suspicious for possible spear grass presence. If you recognize any of these symptoms take your pet to see your vet. The earlier the process is treated the easier it is to prevent complications. Very frequently spear grass removal requires some sort of sedation or general anesthesia. The spear grass awn needs to be taken out and in case of an abscess formed, the veterinarian might place a drain for a few days. The veterinarian is also very likely to recommend topical or systemic course of antibiotics and

pain medication. Withholding the removal of the awn may complicate the condition. Sometimes the awn penetrates so deep that it is hard or even impossible to locate and remove it. You can try to prevent spear grass penetration by a few means. Being aware of the risk is very important. Make sure your yard is spear grass free. If your pet’s paws are very hairy, shave the area between the tows to reduce the chances of the grass entrapment and better visualization of the area. After walks outside inspect your dog’s body, especially the ears and paws and remove any foreign body immediately. Spring and summertime is a wonderful time for pets and their owners to be outside enjoying the sites and sounds. You can make sure that all this fun activity remains a happy memory by being aware of the risk of spear grass and early treatment if needed. Please ask your veterinarian about more information on spear grass and how to keep your furry friend safe in its season.

ENTERTAINMENT Lille Gard festival ain’t so little anymore Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

What started as an artistic camping trip in East Kelowna debuts at the end of June as a fully monetized, live-streamed festival for the singer/songwriter folk music crowd. International musicians, visual artists and a community mindset are sure to spawn new collaborations. In other words, Lille Gard Arts and Music Festival is all grown up and ready for the masses. “Most of us are old church people who have lost touch with our congregation, but there’s still that kind of respect for each other and there’s still this sense of grounding as far as our spirits go,” explained performer Ari Neufeld, who was among the founding friends who started the festival in 2010 on a property now known as The Bottega Farm Inn. Billed as a retreat where the artistic community can spend a few days writing, recording and performing, the Bottega Farm Inn is a modern, glass-encrusted hall with high-end audio, cathedral ceilings and wood-

LOCAL singer/songwriter Ari Neufeld is on Vancouver Island polishing up some new songs. Will he play them at Lille Gard? He says no, but one never knows what can happen when creative minds convene for a weekend of collaboration. work to make a carpenter swoon; but when the festival got started, the friends and artists involved were literally pulling their families together to camp out among a smattering of pine trees to share their

latest work. “It was there to be a vulnerable place for artists to show where they were at,” said Neufeld, noting it was non-denominational, even non-Christian but focused on a collect-

ive desire to contribute to social justice movements through art. He and organizer Nico Boesten, a singer/songwriter who now heads Tribehouse Collective, handled some of the cooking

to add a personal touch to the event. “The pancake breakfast was one of the things that really stuck out for me,” said Neufeld. “It was us making crapes on barbecues for like four hours

and making music under the trees.” Flash forward three years and, aside from the fancy new digs, the festival has taken on a far more professional flare. Coming from Germany, Sarah Brundel will add a European touch, while The Violet Burning, fronted by popular songwriter Michael Pritzl, brings an American influence. Local band Cod Gone Wild, a funky Celtic group now on its third incarnation with members from across the Okanagan, will take the stage along with Tribehouse staples Graham Ord and Norm Strauss in the The Ord Strauss Blues Revue. Ezra Kwizera, a world beat artist from Uganda, is on the bill, but so too is Corey Doak, a 10-year veteran of the Okanagan music scene whose upcoming album was produced by Strauss with big picture production influence from Curtis Tulman of The Cruzeros. “I think this is a great way for people to see astounding talent from their own backyard,” said Doak. “It’s one of the those things that’s easy to

let pass you by if there’s not a big Top 40 headliner, but it’s really going to be well worth it with some great surprises.” Joining the pancake breakfast on the food front, there will be a beer garden this year and, though Neufeld said he likely won’t feel comfortable pulling out the new material he’s writing this month on Vancouver Island, there’s sure to be some creative sparks. One of his favourite songs at the moment, Hummingbird, was written at the second Lille Gard Festival with singer/songwriter Jane Eamon, who also released an album and poetry book this year. Eamon will be back, as will a visual arts component, including local artists John Revill and Dave Watland. For more information on the line-up for the festival or for tickets go to www.lillegard.tribehouse.org. The third annual Lille Gard Arts and Music Festival runs June 30 through July 1 at the Bottega Farm Inn, 4485 Sallows Rd, in East Kelowna. Tickets are $15/person or $25/family pass. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Orofino honoured to make wine for ‘top restaurant’ O ‘‘ rofino Winery was asked to produce two wines for Hawksworth Restaurant, recently named Vancouver’s top restaurant by Vancouver Magazine. This is an exceptional honour and it speaks to the talent of co-owner/ winemaker John Weber. It’s a coup for both Orofino and the gorgeous Similkameen Valley wine region which was named

last year as one of The 5 Best Wine Regions You Never Heard Of by En Route Magazine. “We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Hawksworth’s wine director and Vancouver’s Sommelier of the Year,

Action is the only redeeming quality in Prometheus PROMETHEUS

SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY.

n Greek Mythology, Prometheus felt sorry for mankind because he was cold, with nothing to keep him warm so, against Zeus’ orders, Prometheus stole fire from the Gods for man.

BEHIND THE SCREEN

MOTORING Fridays in the Capital News

Susan Steen

This didn’t go over too well and after years of torture, Zeus relented and released Prometheus. Prometheus is considered the protector of mankind. In Prometheus, the movie—originally intended to be the prequel to Alien—scientists discover identical drawings all over the world dating back more than 35,000 years. They seem to depict that the “creator” of man came from another planet. With the help of Weyland Industries, (which seemingly has its own agenda), a 17-member crew reaches the site they believe these aliens came from and are introduced to a life form that, to say the least, they were unpre-

in this one she plays an equally bitchy team leader with her own demons. Hardly recognizable as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw is the lovely Naomi Rapace who we saw in The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo; Michael Fassbender is Weyland Industries’ eighth generation android David; and English born Guy Pierce is also unrecognizable as the aging Peter Weyland. What can I say about this one—gory, scary, intense, action-packed and the acting is fine. One does get the feeling that this is a bunch of amateurs and have no business in outer space, let alone asking such questions as: ‘Where do we come from?’ ‘What is our purpose?’ and the everillusive, ‘What happens when we die?’ There were some good lines. I liked: “This is a scientific expedition, so no weapons.” Reply: “Oh, good luck with that.” We come away no wiser, and with no more ethereal answers than we had going in, but then would we want to? I give Prometheus three out of five reels for the action.

Director Adam Shankman is no stranger to choreography. The So You Think You Can Dance judge started his career dancing in musical theatre before choreographing music videos and numerous movies until he was hired to direct The Wedding Planner. After that he was a double threat, credited as director and/or choreographer on movies like A Walk To Remember, The Pacifier, Bringing Down The House and Hairspray. Shankman is now the director/choreographer of another hit Broadway musical turned movie, Rock of Ages. Lke Hairspray, he has assembled an all-star cast that includes Julianne Hough, Russell Brand, Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti, Bryan Cranston, Malin Âkerman and Catherine Zeta-Jones. But the real spotlight is on the soundtrack, which features some of the most prominent hairmetal songs of the ’80s. The plot of a small town girl and a city boy who meet on the Sunset Strip while pursuing their Hollywood dreams is only an excuse to write a story around classic songs from the likes of Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake and more.

Grand marshall revealed for annual parade Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Although Queen Elizabeth 2 won’t be able to take part in the Westside Daze festivities, one of her representatives will be in attendance. Lt.-Gov. Steven Point will lead the Westside Daze parade Saturday, June 30, 10:30 a.m. The lieutenant-governor of B.C. was invited after Westside Daze organizers decided that the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee would be a good theme for this year’s event. “We’re extremely excited that we’ve got B.C.’s lieutenant-governor coming,” said Leah Thordarson, administrator of Westside Daze. “We wanted to make the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee a bit of a category throughout Westside Daze this year…(Point) is going to give greetings on behalf of the Queen.” Point will also take part in official opening ceremonies on the main stage at Westbank Community Park below the Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre immediately following the parade. The Westside Celebration Society is the host venue for the awarding of the Queen Elizabeth 2 Diamond Jubilee Medals. Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas will present the medals to distinguished members of the community at 2 p.m. Saturday on the main stage. Westside Daze runs from Friday, June 29, to Monday, July 2. All events, including main stage entertainment, are free to the general public. For a list of events and times visit westsidedaze. com.

Council turns ice cream trucks mute button off Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

B.C. Lieutenant-Governor Steven Point.

One of summer’s classic theme tunes is once again assured to waft through West Kelowna neighbourhoods after a public outcry over the district’s initial decision. Westside council originally voted in favour of banning all forms of music and amplifying devices from mobile vendors May 22. Following that meeting, the district was flooded with letters, phone calls and emails opposing the

decision. After realizing their initial thoughts on the matter did not align with the majority of residents, council opted to amend the Mobile Vending Policy Tuesday. Roaming mobile vendors are now allowed to amplify music—while their vehicles are in motion. “I was really pleased with the number of residents that expressed their views on this issue,” said Coun. Gord Milsom. “I thought that was a good sign of democracy

Bryden Winsby in action.” Milsom also managed to convince council to allow roaming mobile vendors to stop in one location for up to 30 min-

utes, rather than the proposed 15 minutes that was suggested in the previous policy. Findlater said silent ice cream trucks weren’t the biggest issue in terms of public feedback in the municipality’s fiveyear history; however, he agreed “there was certainly a lot of interest in a very short period of time.” Coun. Bryden Winsby, who initially voted against the motion to ban ice cream truck music, still feels that the policy is too restrictive. He was one of two

councillors to vote against the amended policy, noting that mobile vendors such as the Rolling Stove in Kelowna play music while stationary. “In this case we may be guilty of over-regulating,” said Winsby. “I think we should do our best to ensure those who are operating mobile vending businesses, fixed or in motion, be allowed to make a sound or two, whether it’s through broadcast or music, and deal with the problem as it arises.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

ROTECT YOUR HOME from wildfires. West Kelowna Fire Rescue is encouraging everyone living in the wildland/urban interface to take time now to plan how to increase the fire safety of their homes and property.

FireSmart Tips: • Prune tree branches to a height of 2 metres or more • Store fire wood 10 metres or more from the house (avoid downslope location) • Remove all trees, long grass, shrubs, logs, branches, twigs and needles within 10 metres of house • Thin trees (with 3 - 6 metres between crowns) for at least 30 metres from the house • Remove or reduce the number of evergreen trees in the area. Evergreens such as pine and spruce are much more Pine needles are a fire hazard combustible than deciduous trees. • Remove deadfall, thick shrubbery and mature trees that can spread fire upwards to become a fast spreading crown fire for at least 30 metres from the house. Once a fire crowns out, it’s virtually unstoppable. • Grass within 10 metres of buildings should be mowed and watered • Clear all debris from gutters and roof. • Contact your utility company if trees or branches are not clear of power lines • Address or lot number clearly signed for quick identification by fire service • Driveway is wide enough to accommodate emergency vehicles • Chimney installed to code complete with spark arrestor screens • All eaves enclosed and screen all vents including soffits • Undersides of balconies, decks and crawlspaces sheathed in with flame resistant materials • Propane tanks located at least 10m from building - clear all vegetation within 3 metres • Use only fire retardant roofing rated Class A, B or C and fire resistant exterior siding

The wildland/urban interface is the area where the forest meets urban communities. Living in a forested area means living with fire! The best protection against loss, damage or injury due to wildfire is prevention. Following the FireSmart Homeowners Manual can help reduce that risk. The first 10 meters of space around your home is your “First Priority.” A good fuel free space gives firefighters a chance to save your home from an advancing fire. Walk Woodpiles are a fire hazard around your home and property to see what needs to be done.

Is Your Family Prepared? GetPrepared.ca

Learn the three steps to getting prepared: Know the risks Although the consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing the risks specific to your community and your region can help you better prepare. Find out here what the hazards are in your region. Make a plan It's easy and essential. Every Canadian household needs an emergency plan.

Get a kit It doesn't take long – find out what goes into an emergency kit, or where you can buy one. An emergency kit helps ensure you and your family are ready to cope on your own for at least the first 72 hours of an emergency.

Fire Danger Rating

Be aware of the fire hazard boards in your community, located on roads leading to the interface areas.

What the Danger Class Ratings mean: LOW: Low fire danger MODERATE: Carry out any forest activities with caution HIGH: Fire hazard is serious. Extreme caution must be used in any forest activities. Burning permits and industrial activities may be restricted EXTREME: Extremely high fire hazard. General forest activities may be restricted, including burning permits, industrial activities and campfires.

WESTSIDE ▼ AUTO INSURANCE

Policy restrictions can be confusing for drivers T hank you, to a fellow named Ron, for giving me the idea for my column this week. Ron is a senior. He called for my advice about qualifying for ICBC’s “seniors” rate classification, which comes with a 25 per cent premium reduction. I figure we should give seniors a higher discount, by the way. Have you ever seen a senior texting or applying make-up behind the wheel? How about drag racing? I could go on, but I fear my wife might write another letter to the editor. Ron is an intelligent guy. The answer to his question wasn’t as simple as adding up the years since his birth date to see if they add up to 65. Not only must the

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott owner be at least 65 years of age to qualify, there are restrictions on how the vehicle may be used. The restrictions are confusing. Consider these couple of examples. It’s apparently OK to drop your 18-yearold granddaughter off at school, but not OK to drop her off at the Burger King where she works. You can drive yourself to a part-time educational course, but only up to six times in a month, and you can never drive yourself to a part-time job.

In the words of JoAnne Cloutier, an Autoplan field supervisor for ICBC: “This all sounds very complicated.” No kidding! For help in understanding the restrictions, I invite you to read Cloutier’s well-written article on the subject at www. myseniorsite.ca/drivingdiscount.htm. I wasn’t aware of her article when Ron gave me a call. In fact, I wasn’t even aware that a “senior” discount existed. I was entirely useless to Ron in explaining whether or not his proposed use of his vehicle was permitted. But I did give him some important advice: Don’t ask a lawyer insurance coverage questions. Whom should you ask? Ask the person sell-

ing the insurance—the insurance broker. Get the answers in writing. Have the broker show you a brochure that contains the answer. If the brochure doesn’t quite deal with your particular question, get the broker to write out the answer. Insurance coverage is very serious stuff. If you fail to abide by the restrictions of your rate category, you risk the insurance company refusing to provide the insurance benefits/coverage you purchased. This applies to all kinds of insurance, not just vehicle insurance. Why ask the broker?

You can rely on the answer. Sure, a lawyer (not me, obviously) might get the answer right, but save your money and don’t take the risk that the lawyer might be wrong. It is the broker’s job to know answers to coverage questions. Not only that, but if the broker gives you the wrong answer, the broker will be answerable to you for the bad advice. That’s where getting answers in writing comes in—so you can later prove what you were told. Another piece of advice—if it says you can drive to school only six times in a month, don’t think you’re being sly by

going a seventh time and not getting caught. There aren’t any insurance police monitoring how you use your vehicle. Likewise, there aren’t any insurance police monitoring whether or not you are a non-smoker when you apply for your life insurance. You can bet your bottom dollar, though, that the insurance company will investigate after the fact, if there is a big enough insured loss, whether or not you complied with the restrictions of your rate class or whether you were indeed a non-smoker. If they find out that you failed to follow a
