Hunters clean up after junk dumpers Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
More than 4,000 kilograms of junk was cleaned out of the forest along the Gillard Forest Service Road Monday evening by a dedicated group of local hunters who were appalled by what people had dumped there. The effort was coordinated by Kelowna outdoorsman Sean Richardson, who said he heads up
into that area with his family to do some biking along the KVR, hiking, geocaching, light a fire for the kids to roast hotdogs and for hunting in the fall. When he was up there on Father’s Day he was surprised by all the piles of garbage he saw. “It was the worst I’d ever seen,” he said. He saw everything from demolition materials and lumber apparently dumped by a contract-
or, to the remnants of an illegal marijuana growing operation, to household garbage and computers people had used for target practice, to yard waste which can be taken to the landfill for no charge. “How can people think it’s okay to dump their garbage like this in the bush?” he asked. And, as soon as one person dumps some grass clippings or a bag of trash, within days it seems

to attract all sorts of other garbage, as other people join in, he noted. “It’s just not acceptable behaviour,” he stated. To combat what he saw growing in the wild, he began to phone around to see what kind of assistance he could get to clean it up. BFI agreed to deliver a 40yard bin to the area to be filled

The president of the Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association says she feels like a broken record in saying it takes two sides to bargain—again. But this is where Wednesday morning found Alice Rees as she fielded media queries about a tentative contract deal the province struck Tuesday evening with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. “Bargaining is the art of the possible,” she said. “The executive committee of the BCTF clearly thinks that this is all that is possible at this time. “We were living under 1987 standards that were negotiated at the dawn of teacher negotiations,” she added. “…Generally, it’s an agreement that both parties are saying this is as much as we can do.” Alice Rees Rees explained that the extended medical benefit upgrades teachers receive under the agreement are the first since 1987. The class size and composition issues ignored in the agreement are no less of an issue today than they were at the beginning of the negotiation process, she added. All the same, early Wednesday morning Premier Christy Clark held a teleconference from West Kelowna telling media this would give parents piece of mind over the summer break. “This tentative agreement means parents and students can enjoy the summer break and know that when

West Kelowna partners with province to promote smoke alarm awareness especially among seniors Premier avoids ‘getting in the way’ of Sicamous flood rescue efforts Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
B.C. PREMIER CHRISTY CLARK entertained children at the West Kelowna Firehall earlier this week, giving them the do’s, don’ts and procedures involved with smoke alarms and the potential dangers with fire. DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna is the newest community to join the province’s smoke alarm awareness campaign. Premier Christy Clark made the announcement Tuesday at the West Kelowna Fire Hall. “West Kelowna is an important partner. We know that older British Columbians are particularly at risk—with so many making the wise choice to settle here…(smoke
alarm safety) is especially relevant right here in this community,” said Premier Christy Clark. To support the campaign, the district’s firefighters will make themselves available to help residents install or test their smoke alarms, free of charge. Some residents may also be eligible for a free alarm as well. “One of the simplest ways that you can make sure that your family is safe is by making sure that you have a working smoke alarm in your home,” said
Clark. “Research shows that having a smoke alarm that works in your home can reduce fire-related deaths by almost onethird. . .that’s an astonishing number.” Before addressing the crowd at the Westside fire hall, Clark spoke to children from Edleun PreSchool and demonstrated how smoke alarms work. Mayor Doug Findlater said that this campaign is a win-win for everyone involved. “It saves lives, it saves
injury, it saves property damage and it saves firefighting costs if they’re able to deal with a structure fire earlier,” said Findlater. According to Len Garis, president of the Fire Chiefs’ Association of B.C., approximately a dozen communities are currently involved with the campaign. “It’s spreading almost virally throughout the province,” said Garis. “Change has to be made, and it has to be made forever.”
Clark credited Black Press for its contribution of a $350,000 strategic multimedia investment to raise awareness. Kidde Canada also donated 5,000 smoke alarms for free distribution to vulnerable populations throughout B.C. Findlater said that those who want their alarms installed or tested should contact West Kelowna Fire Rescue’s nonemergency number, 250769-1640. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com
Although Premier Christy Clark was only a twohour drive away from flood-ravaged Sicamous Tuesday, she said she doesn’t plan on visiting the area in the near future. “I don’t want to get in the way of any of the efforts of people that are working out there to protect communities,” said Clark. “I will help in any way that I can, and I think probably the best way that we can help right now is to provide support, to make sure our staff that are there are doing what they’re trained to do and monitoring this on a daily basis.” Clark appeared at the West Kelowna Fire Hall Tuesday to announce West Kelowna’s partnership in the province’s smoke alarm campaign. When the floor was opened up to the media, the conversation quickly changed gears to the flood situation. “We’ve got a million sandbags out there across the province right now—we are working overtime,” said Clark. “We’re monitoring it closely and we are going to provide, through our disaster assistance program, support for people whose primary homes have been affected.” The premier added that the province has spent nearly $125 million over the last 10 years to deal with flooding. Clark credited the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union with continuing to work despite wage negotiations breaking down last week. “They’ve said that even though they may be in a position to deliver us with strike notice and maybe even go on strike while this flood threat continues, they will not withdraw any support for communities that are under threat of flood. “It’s a great sign of good faith in all the people that serve us in government.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Sports fans may soon enjoy a beverage at Rutland Arena Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Sports fans may soon be able to enjoy a brew while watching a live event in Rutland. Kelowna city staff have thrown their support
behind an application that would allow alcohol to be served at the Rutland Arena during events. The proposal doesn’t perfectly jibe with city policy, as the arena isn’t in an urban hub and it would allow a maximum of 450 revellers to imbibe, but city staff believe the benefits outweigh

the shortcomings. Among other things, beverages would only be served once a game began and would be cut off 20 minutes before the end of each game, which is approximately 9:45 p.m. Although city staff are fans of the applica-
tion, it doesn’t mean the beer taps will pour immediately. The matter will be the subject of a future public hearing, and once the community weighs in, politicians will then vote to change, or not change, the bylaw that controls the issue.

Evidence questions handed over to murder trial jury never been found, and Bagnall said that’s a piece of evidence that needs to be weighed heavily. Had Shannon, then 22, been deliberately aiming to shoot the teenager, the bullet should have been lodged somewhere in the garage, which was just a few feet away from Wilkes. Its absence in the evidence chain, he said, is due to the fact the gun went off when Shannon was pointing it skyward—not directly into Wilkes’s head. It fired during a frantic movement, brought on by the fact that Shannon was feeling the pressure of a crowd that was closing in on him—potentially with pepper spray—while he was being provoked into a fight by Wilkes. “Things happened quickly and (Shannon) did not intend to fire the gun,” he said. “The evidence does not demonstrate that Trevor Shannon wanted to shoot Evan Wilkes beyond a reasonable doubt.” Bagnall also warned jurors to be wary of how their opinions about the accused informs their view of the case at hand. “You may not like Trevor Shannon. That’s fine. You may disapprove of his lifestyle, that he sold drugs or chose to carry a gun,” he said. “That’s

So, Campbell argued, the gun was used as it was designed. Shannon swung up his arm, brought it up to Wilkes’s head, and then “he pulled the trigger because that’s what he intended,” Campbell said. If he was just going to pistol whip the boy, which he’s said he was doing, he entirely failed in that goal. Wilkes’s autopsies, said Campbell, show no evidence of bruising that would come from being hit by the barrel of the fire arm. Shannon, he said, would have had to stop his swinging arm short of hitting Wilkes’s head, then fired. Campbell added that he didn’t believe Shannon’s actions were based in fear, either. There was no angry mob gathering to beat Shannon—no knives, and no bear spray, as was previously mentioned. “I suggest that he was never in danger,” said Campbell. “It’s nothing more than a smoke screen…it’s an excuse.” The jury started deliberations late Wednesday afternoon and are expected to continue throughout the day.

What was in Trevor Shannon’s mind five years ago when he fired his gun and killed a teenager at a latenight house party? That’s the question 10 jurors are being asked to answer now that all evidence has been submitted in Shannon’s second degree murder trial. If they were swayed by defence lawyer Brent Bagnall’s case, they’ll acquit the Kelowna man of the charge. In closing arguments Tuesday morning, Bagnall argued Shannon, 27, lacked criminal intent when he swung his gun toward Evan Wilkes’s head in 2007, and fired a fatal blast. After all, he told the jury, if Shannon intended to kill the teenager, why did he behave so strangely in the moments after his gun fired? “(He) felt shock, disbelief, he became frantic and ran around in the street,” Bagnall said. The handgun went off unexpectedly, Bagnall said, pointing out that firearm experts testified that the mere swinging motion of such an unreliable piece of equipment could have caused it to fire.

NEWS ▼ FLOODING
Relief in sight with forecast calling for drier weather Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Near record-setting rainfalls for the month of June are over and only the occasional shower is forecast for the next week or so. However, there is still some snow remaining at the highest elevations around the Okanagan, and runoff from the rainstorms from the past week is still making its way down to the valley floor, so everyone with property near bodies of water are advised to be alert to the possibility of rising waters threatening their property. Meteorologist Doug Lundquist from Environment Canada says as of Wednesday we are only four millimetres from setting a new record for rainfall in the month of June, which is normally the wettest month of the year here anyway. The old record was set in 1990, at 103 mm. Now, though, he
says the outlook is good. “There’s nothing significant forecast in the way of weather, with a system expected to go through the valley on the weekend, but just showers,” he said. Saturday and Sunday are the most likely days when showers are forecast, he said. And, normal temperatures are also forecast for the coming week, which is expected to be much drier than in the past few weeks. With high water levels on Okanagan Lake, upland reservoirs full and spilling and creek beds full and in some instances overflowing, the problems are not all over for valley residents. Jason Brolund, Central Okanagan emergency program coordinator, says the problems have moved from creeks to lakes, and both Wood and Kalamalka Lakes are expected to continue to rise in the next few days, although Okanagan Lake should be

close to peaking. He advised people relying on sandbags or sump pumps to protect their property, to check those regularly to ensure they are doing their job. Bruce Smith, communications officer for the Central Okanagan Regional District, reports that a local State of Emergency declared to protect the environment of Mission Creek in the Joe Rich area has now been rescinded, along with the Evacuation Alert affecting 14 properties in that area. He said propertyowners in the area should continue to monitor weather and creek conditions in the area of High-

Tuesday, Okanagan Lake had risen 12 centimetres above full pool, the target level for the lake, which is above the high level it reached last year. Lakefront property owners in the Central Okanagan are responsible for taking precautions to protect their properties, docks and other waterfront structures from the impact of high lake levels.

Government rejects fourth floor offer Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The province has rejected an offer by the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District to pay for a fourth floor on the planned new Interior Health and Surgical Centre at Kelowna General Hospital. The offer to pay for, and shell in, the additional floor on the $169 million building—part of a $367 million project to make KGH the fifth full cardiac care centre in B.C.— was made after Victoria rejected an earlier offer to loan the province the money for a fourth floor now as opposed to adding it later. Regional hospital dis-
trict chairman Robert Hobson had said the offer was made because it will cost twice as much to add an extra floor once the building is built. The regional hospital district offer is for $8.36 million. “It just made so much sense when you look at the complexity of the Kelowna General (Hospital) site,” said Hobson. In a letter from deputy health minister Graham Whitmarsh, the offer was rejected, saying the decision will not be reconsidered. No reason’s were given, said Hobson. While Health Minister Mike de Jong, who was in the Okanagan at a cabinet retreat this week, could not be reached for comment, a written response

from the health ministry sent to the Capital News said initial capital cost is not the only factor in making a decision to not fund the floor at this time. “An additional floor would require additional funding by the province to finish and operate for years into the future – it is not simply a matter of building an extra floor now,” said the ministry statement. “While we would like to approve all capital funding requests made to government, we need to balance the desire to build with the taxpayers ability to fund new projects, and must focus limited funds on the highest priorities at this time.” A health ministry spokesman said the rejection was in part due to expected additional operating costs associated with adding a fourth floor— even though it would not be used— and the amount of money that has already been spent in the Okanagan on hospital facilities in Kelowna and Vernon. New patient care towers were recently opened at KGH and Vernon’s Jubilee Hospital at a total cost of $430 million. The original estimate for the heart centre project was $460 million but that
now appears to have been lowered to $367 million. In Vernon, as soon as the new Polson tower opened earlier this year, there were calls to open floors in the building that had been shelled in for future use and the government faced pressure to find the money. In Kelowna, parts of the top two floors of the new Centennial tower, originally slated for future use, have been used since day one last month. The money for those two floors was lent to the government by the regional hospital district to address future demand. Speaking in West Kelowna earlier this week, Premier Christy Clark said the government’s position is based, in part, on the fact there would be future operating costs in involved with adding an extra floor. “I know the heart centre people locally would very much like to be able to do the shelled-in floor. It’s not just a capital cost though, there are huge ongoing operating costs that the province needs to consider. We’re just not ready to spend that money yet,” said Clark. At the opening of the Centennial tower in May, Clark was asked about
Hobson’s offer and said it was being considered but she was concerned about added operational costs given the province’s current financial postion. Hobson said the fourth floor plan had the support of Interior Health and the Central Okanagan’s three Liberal MLAs. Last week Victoria announced it has signed a deal with Plenary Health to design, build and partially finance the threestorey IHSC building at KGH at a fixed price of $169.1 million. Construction is expected to start this fall and be complete by mid-2015. In addition to construction of the heart centre building, changes also need to be made to existing parts of the hospital and the project includes construction of the now complete and operational $46 million Dr. Walter Anderson clinical support services building. It houses the KGH laboratory and other support service departments. Hobson said he was pleased to learn that the three-storey building being planned will be built to accommodate the addition of a fourth floor later on. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

CLOSE-UP â–ź CONTRACT
â–ź TEACHERS
BCTF feels best The politics behind new labour deal deal on the table CONTRIBUTOR
Offer from A1 school resumes in the fall there will be certainty in the classroom, with the focus being on the children,� she said. Should the teachers decide to ratify the agreement, negotiations would still resume next March as the agreement is only temporary. “We’ll be holding a vote on this hopefully within the next 48 hours,� Rees said. “We’re hopeful that there will be a chance for the schools to be all that they can be again.� Rees said teachers will not forget they paid for smaller class sizes and a more manageable class composition in wage constraints and that, in removing the language in their agreement that protected those provisions in 2002, the government has done a disservice to B.C. students. The issue has been to the Supreme Court, which ruled the government was in the wrong when those protections were summarily removed and must deal with the issue. It “is going to be a very sore point with teachers� when the BCTF and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association return to the bargaining table next spring, Rees said. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
Teachers begin voting today on a new short-term contract that will guarantee their labour dispute becomes an issue in next spring’s provincial election, predicts an Okanagan politics-watcher. Late Tuesday, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation begrudgingly recommended its members approve the deal, which is retroactive to June 2011 and expires in June 2013. While full details of the pact have yet to be released, it does not contain any pay increases or guarantees around class size or composition, the union said. The result of the teachers’ vote is expected to be released Friday night. The contract would expire just six weeks after the provincial election scheduled for May
14, which is actually good thing since the teachers’ dispute is such a polarizing issue, said Ross Hickey, an associate professor of economics at UBC Okanagan who has researched election timing. “Why not bring it into the election and let people vote on it?� said Hickey. And as he sees it, the short-term deal is good for both sides. For the BCTF, it buys time to see if the more labour-friendly NDP can form the next government, while for the Liberals it provides an issue on which they can take a firm stand and woo right-wing voters. “There’s definitely politics in mind with what’s going on here,� Hickey said. Education Minister George Abbott told reporters on a conference call Wednesday that the “longterm dysfunction� in the
relationship between teachers and their employer will be an issue no matter which party forms government. “Regardless of who is elected in 2013, I do think the BCTF needs to sit down and rebuild that relationship,� Abbott said. “Too often the rhetoric associated with these disputes in fact undermines public confidence.� Premier Christy Clark said on the same conference call that the contract “protects taxpayers� by sticking to the government’s net-zero policy on wage increases, and provides certainty for parents and students. However, the BCTF announced today it is filing a civil lawsuit that al-
Cleaning up after the mess left by others Dumpers from A1 and the regional district offered gloves and garbage bags and to waive tipping fees at the dump if he could marshal volunteers to do some clean-up. He contacted some friends, wrote about it and asked for volunteers on the Hunting B.C. forum and told his colleagues at the Oceola Fish and Game Club about the problem. Monday evening they gathered and worked for four hours, filling not only the bin, but also the backs of a number of pickup trucks. Quality Greens provided smokies and buns and refreshments for the
crew. Regional district waste reduction facilitator Cynthia Coates said there’s an increase in such illegal dumping in the spring, and they appreciate people letting them know about any sites they see, so they can try and do something about it. Having a community group volunteer to do the clean-up is “pretty fabulous,� she commented. Fortunately, she said there are a lot of proactive groups in the community who step up to clean up what others leave behind. “We encourage people to do clean-ups and we’ll help in any way we can,� she said.
Richardson said they did find some information in one of the piles of junk they cleaned up, and they’ve forwarded that to the proper authorities. But he said he’s really less interested in punishing people than in preventing it. Richardson suggested that anyone seeing loads of garbage going in to areas like that take down the licence plate numbers and report them on the Report All Poachers and Polluters toll-free tips line at: 1-877-95227277(RAPP). Tipsters can remain anonymous. Reports of illegal dumping can also be made to the regional dis-
trict’s waste reduction line at 469-6250 or on the regionaldistrict.com website. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ RCMP ACCOUNTABILITY
High hopes for new review and complaints commission J ust before the House of Commons rose last week, the government tabled Bill C-42, the proposed Enhancing Royal Canadian Mounted Police Accountability Act. Constituents will be pleased to know that the legislation will create a new Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC) for the RCMP to replace the existing Commission for Public Complaints (CPC) against the RCMP. It will increase the transparency of investigations into serious incidents involving a member of the RCMP, reduce the potential for bias and promote public accountability of these criminal investigations. The CPC was established as an independent body to hold the RCMP accountable to the public by enabling public complaints about the on-duty conduct of RCMP members to be examined fairly and impartially.
MP’S REPORT
Ron Cannan It is mandated to: • receive complaints from the public about the conduct of RCMP members; conduct reviews when complainants are not satisfied with the RCMP’s handling of their complaints • hold hearings or carry out investigations on complaints and • report findings and make recommendations to the commissioner of the RCMP and the minister of public safety, with a view to correct and prevent recurring policing problems. The CRCC will have the same powers of the former commission along with new powers and authorities to carry out its mandate.
Those will include: • broad access to RCMP information to help it perform its duties (it will be required to safeguard against unauthorized disclosure of privileged information) • enhanced investigative powers, including the authority to summon and compel witnesses to give evidence • the ability to conduct joint investigations and share information with other police review bodies • the ability to conduct policy reviews to determine the RCMP’s compliance with legislation and regulations, as well as policies, procedures, guidelines and ministerial directives and • the authority to appoint civilian observers to assess the impartiality of criminal investigations of serious incidents involving the RCMP or, with approval of the relevant provincial authority, when the investigation is being done by the RCMP or another police service.
The commission will consist of one chairperson and up to four additional full- or part-time members. Members will be appointed by the governor in council for up to five years with the possibility for reappointment and extension. Members or former members of the RCMP will not be eligible to be appointed as members of the commission. The enhanced powers and authorities of the CRCC will be similar to those of other modern international, federal and provincial review bodies. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police remains an important symbol for Canada. But, as we know here in Kelowna-Lake Country, Canadians’ confidence in the RCMP has been tested over the past few years and citizens have rightfully demanded that the RCMP be held fully accountable for its actions.
Our local RCMP detachments serve us well in the Okanagan and it is important to acknowledge that the vast majority of RCMP employees perform an exemplary service to Canadians and deserve our support and respect. However, it is equally important that the RCMP has acknowledged the need for increased accountability so that those few members who fall short of the expectations of the RCMP can be dealt with in an expedient and appropriate manner. Through Bill C-42, the government has lis-
tened to Canadians and taken action to ensure that the RCMP remains accountable to the public it serves.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS The call for proposals for Social Development Partnerships Program— Disability Component (SDPP-D) was launched on June 22. The call is open to all of Canada and will close on Aug. 17. Canadian not-for-profit organizations can receive up to $250,000 per year for up to three years for projects that support the federal government’s commitments under the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Projects must focus on one or more of the following priorities: active living, accessibility, vulnerable populations and increasing awareness of disability-related issues. For more details about the call for proposals, please visit www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/community_partnerships/sdpp/call/ disability_component/ page00.shtml.

Just over a week after four horses were allegedly taken from Mandy and Me Trailriding stables in West Kelowna, a Facebook group has emerged, urging members to help save the horses. But according to the Kelowna SPCA, the horses might not need saving at all. Stacey Carr, a volunteer at Mandy and Me and active member of the Facebook group, said that the horses weren’t stolen from the property. “They weren’t taken from (owner Silverado Socrates’) property; they had been breaking out all week,” said Stacey Carr. “The horses kept breaking out because they are starving and they go over to a field—which is not on her property— OVERALL, FOR to graze because they are THE AGE OF THE hungry.” HERD, THEY ARE IN When asked how the GOOD CONDITION. horses managed to end up Linda Walker, on a property near Kelowna International Airport, Kelowna SPCA Carr said: “They didn’t constable wander over there. I’m not going to comment on that, but I know that they were (taken) to be helped.” Carr added she did not think that last week’s incident fell under the category of stealing. The Help Save These Horses Facebook group has more than 400 members and showcases photos and videos of horses living in what it describes as an unhealthy environment. “In the past few months horses have been losing weight. They’re standing in feces—the piles have been there for a really long time and have not been removed. The health of the horses is going down.” Linda Walker, a constable with Kelowna SPCA, said that there is currently an ongoing investigation with regard to the horses at Mandy and Me Trailriding. But according to Walker, the health of the horses isn’t as bad as Carr alleges. “Overall, for the age of the herd, they are in good condition,” said Walker. Walker said that the SPCA would never give any individuals the authority to “steal” the horses, which is exactly what she said occurred two weeks ago. “We have to give anyone a reasonable amount of time to correct any problems,” said Walker. She added that animals would only be removed from a property if they were under “critical distress.”

Downtown Kelowna will be a sea of red and white this weekend as Canada Day revellers gather to celebrate the birth of a nation. Loads of live entertainment, family-friendly activities, food and shopping options have been lined up to keep festival goers rapt throughout Sunday, and if all goes according to plan it could very well be the party of the year. “Last year we had 55,000 people coming through Prospera Place and Waterfront Park,” Renata Mills, the executive director of Festivals Kelowna, adding that the “scope and scale” of this year’s event trumps all past. And, despite its size, the festival is always a hotbed of positivity. “There is zip in terms of trouble,” she said. “Everyone’s in a good mood…are well behaved and cheerful. People are so willing to say they’re proud Canadians on this day.” Locals should also be proud of the bumper crop of musical talent that’s performing for the event. Everything from big

The only problem is, it’s going to be hard to hit all the bands that lead up to the nighttime fireworks

Temporary court fix
R
ecently, a 20-year-old man from Surrey received a month in jail for his part in the Stanley Cup riots, which took place just over a year ago. Many people are hoping this sets a precedent for future sentencing, and it should. A one-month term for taking part in a riot, in which millions of dollars in property damage was done, police were assaulted, 150 were injured and the global reputation of the Vancouver area
was severely damaged, is light punishment. However, it is likely that many of those charged will not receive any punishment. Their cases may well be thrown out of court because of excessive delay, due to the severely plugged nature of the court system. If a case is delayed for 18 months or longer, through no fault of the defence, it is quite likely it will not come to trial. This is unacceptable. While it says volumes about the state of
250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575
the court system, something that few people pay attention to unless they are directly involved, it sends a bad message to the rioters. It tells them that they should do all they can to delay the process until they are charged. And, they should not plead guilty. As a result, they may see their case dropped. The provincial government should set up a temporary court which can solely deal with riot cases. Everyone who is charged
in connection with the riot should face trial, and do time if found guilty. If such a temporary court proves to work well, it could be used in other situations – such as to relieve system congestion in specific areas. If rioters are able to get off without any consequences because of a backlog of cases, the criminal justice system needs some creative fixing. The province can do something about this—now. Authority must trump lawlessness.

Opposition voice To the editor: I totally agree with Devon Brooks’ letter reminding the Capital News that listening to the Opposition is a good thing. (Editor Correct: Omnibus Undermines Democratic Process, June 22 Capital News.) Weekly sessions of the ‘party line’ from any single perspective is shallow. Debate is a good thing. On that note, I would like to say to Norm Letnick (MLA Kelowna-Lake Country) that comparing what we see of a highway upgrade project to the tip of an iceberg seems accurate. (Winfield-Oyama Link Upgrade Moving Forward, June 22 Capital News.) It’s
YES
just that what we aren’t seeing isn’t just a million cubic metres of drilled and blasted rock and earth (which is disturbing enough) but the whole fossil fuel-driven economy which currently has its office in Fort McMurray. The iceberg we aren’t seeing is our own complicity with environmental degradation and short-sighted excavation economy. The $77-million it cost for the four-lane Winfield-Oyama project could have been a good start on a serious public transportation alternative to the private automobile. Neil Cadger, Kelowna
Other ways to develop international trade To the editor: This letter is in reply to MP Ron Cannan’s column on June 19 in the Capital News (Ambitious Trade Missions Can Help Local Businesses). There are better, more effective and less expensive ways of conducting and prospecting for overseas business than by joining Government of Canada sponsored trade missions. Here’s how: 1. Network with competitors, other industry people and through Linked In, Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites for little or no cost. 2. Ask the local trade commissioner and the trade office located at every Canadian embassy and consul-
ate to assist you. This is a free service and very useful for inside market information. 3. Research the effectiveness of past trade missions for your sector. Ask for feedback from previous attendees. The real joke for our school (International Gateway Kelowna), in Mr. Cannan’s column, is about the education mission to Jordan, Libya and Saudi Arabia. The majority of citizens from those countries cannot get a visa to study or visit Canada with the current government’s draconian visa policies. To attend this mission for this reason or an inbound tourism related reason would be a real waste of time
and money. 4. Organize your own prospecting trip. It will be cheaper and more effective in the long run as you will be the only person there at the time and will get the buyer/supplier’s full attention. Your company won’t get lost in the shuffle of a large trade mission where the government’s main objective is making money off the Canadian participants participation fee and not in assisting your company. Our international school’s marketing team has attended Canadian Embassy sponsored events in the past as See Trade A11

Big White/Silver Star buck trend of serving seniors Big White and Silver Star had a unique arrangement—the dual mountain pass that benefited older skiers in particular. It was particularly popular among retirees who ski midweek when the hills are not crowd-
ed and whose primary ski interest is seeking fresh snow. It was recently announced that the dual mountain pass no longer would be available. Big White and Silver Star would do well to
pursue arrangements to reinstate the dual mountain pass and thus restore goodwill.

▼ PERKS
To the editor: When I look at what is going on with our provincial government, I can only surmise that it is becoming a land for the rich and elite. Our representatives do not seem to have a problem when it comes to giving themselves a hefty raise, bonus or enhanced pensions and payouts, yet when it comes to giving the people on the front lines who administer health care, teaching or infrastructure, they seem to have a real problem justifying this. They also do not have a problem with building extravagant buildings such as B.C. Place and a Convention Centre that go way over budget and only the rich and elite can afford to attend for an event and who needs a roof that opens up where most of the time they experience rain but the more elegant the more the elite stand to make in profit. Can’t say our government doesn’t give the people the best but the interior of B.C. does not benefit from this in any substantial way. Our paying $6 million for legal fees for
people who plead guilty makes one wonder why this took place, as I am sure our legal costs would not be covered if we needed legal assistance as our government has minimized this asset which was available to the common person. Many millions of dollars have been wasted in penalties for cancelling contracts after they have been signed, not to mention the legal costs involved. This could have gone a long way in helping those who need it instead of to the ones who are already well off. Also when it comes to helping the less fortunate with feeding themselves or acquiring affordable housing these budgets are administered by people whose bonus or raise and pensions are predicated on the amount they can save which directly reflects on the people who need it most. I would think this is a direct conflict of interest. There seems to be a bottomless pit of money when it comes to proving a murder case or like as the one mentioned above. That

well as large travel trade shows like Rendevous Canada. None of these events have produced business for our school. Small, targeted events organized in-house and with our in-country part-
ners are a lot more effective. Our school’s marketing team has travelled extensively to more than 60 countries (probably more than Mr. Harper, Mr. Cannan and their Conservative team combined) so we know a thing or two about international trade, mar-
keting and new trends especially in the tourism and education sectors. We’d be happy to share this information for free to anyone interested. Dale Lockhart, International Gateway Kelowna
being said, justice does have to be served. But if the same amount of money went into feeding and housing the innocent, I think we could just about do away with food banks and people living on the street or who need help controlling their mental incapability’s. I think if the government took a huge step towards being open in where our tax dollars are going and not just putting everything into general revenue—without being accountable to the people in how they are spending our tax dollars, just taxing us more and more to mainly benefit the elite—then maybe people would have more faith to go out and vote when an election does come up. I am not a dreamer and do not expect to see any major changes in the near future, but one does get tired of the lame excuses proffered for their enhancement instead of setting an example for the people who elected them.

NEWS ▼ PRECIOUS METALS
Avoid falling victim to the traveling collector Lorand Fodor CONTRIBUTOR
“Gold buyer bounces cheques at Kelowna event,” read the front-page headline in June 13 edition of the Capital News. I’ve seen it time and again—a travelling “collector” or “road-show” organization with a heroic budget for advertising fails to make good on the transaction either because the money they offer is a paltry pittance of the market value, or, as in this case, the cheques start bouncing, or both. So what can one do to avoid falling victim to these unsavoury “collectors?” 1. Deal with a local business. Examples of such businesses are precious metal brokers, jewelry shops, and coin dealers. A business that is rooted in the community is exponentially less of a flight risk than the travelling collector. Also, because they do business in your community, with local business there is accountability; something you can be assured of which there is none from the perspective of a “collector” who will likely never see you again. 2. Make sure the organization you deal with has a brick-and-mortar location. Go there to do your business. Not only does this add legitimacy and accountability, it also leaves you less exposed to the unscrupulous elements. Meeting in a coffee shop may seem like a convenient and neutral territory, however, it will not shelter you entirely from the peril of crime. 3. Do a little research. Find out exactly what it is that you have to sell. A good way to gauge the value of your sellable is to see what it sold for on E-bay. Deduct the shipping and merchant fees and you should have a close approximation of market value. 4. Get quotes and establish the pricing model prior to visiting the location. Some businesses won’t give you a quote over the phone. This alone should be setting off alarm bells. If you request a quote on an old 14k ring, for example, and they insist you come in first, then walk away. This is an old ploy designed to frustrate you into accepting a lower price for your goods in lieu of the value of your time. Better yet, find a business that posts live prices for their scrap gold and other products. Selling your coins, jewelry and other valuables is never an easy decision. However, once you have decided to take action, know that there is always a better way than going to a travelling road-show/collector. There are local businesses in your community who can provide a higher level of service, and you can take comfort in the fact that they are accountable, local, and eager for your business. Lorand Fodor is a precious metal broker with Gold and Silver Exchange in Kelowna. GoldandSilverExchange.ca.

And, with most large employers based in major centres, small businesses are even more important to the economic vitality of the Okanagan, Similkameen region. Roger Houle, assistant vice-president of commercial banking at Valley First, says while there is a certain allure to being your own boss, creating a successful small business relies on more than just a good idea. “I’m sure many of us dream about calling the shots on our own work,” said Houle. “Unfortunately, starting a business is more complex than having a good idea. “There are many unforeseen challenges that can sidetrack and derail an entrepreneur long before sales begin to roll in.”
With more than 30 per cent of start-ups failing after the first year, Houle says the keys to success lie in the preparation, in particular creating a business plan, unearthing hidden costs and securing financing. “After you decide to start your own business, the first step is to create a business plan,” he said. “Your plan should detail elements such as target market and competition, product or service price, marketing strategies, costs for starting your business and cash flow projections. “It’s equally important to determine what you will be measuring the success of your business along the way so you know whether you’re meeting your goals.” By completing a business plan, a new business owner will likely discover things that they did not think about initially; allowing them to fully grasp the extent of what is re-
quired to start a successful business. “It’s like building a house; you need to have all the permits, plans and designs in place before you even break ground,” said Houle. “You need a solid foundation on which to build your business.” Understanding your capital requirements is another vital element to success, advises Houle. Without a clear idea of costs, it is easy for a new business owner to fall into the 30 per cent failure category. “It seems like a straight-forward concept, but this is where many great start-ups fall short,” noted Houle. “Whether it’s through a bank loan, personal resources or investors, knowing how you are going to pay the bills is as important as what you plan to sell.” “Also take a detailed look at your banking op-

Make sure you understand what your banking needs are.” Houle points out that
while there is a lot to consider when starting a small business, having personal support from your financial institution can make all the difference. “Having an experi-
enced expert on your side can make the tough decisions a lot less confusing,” said Houle. “At Valley First, we take the time to really understand the needs
and goals of our business members. It is a relationship that can last for many years and having the right person on your side will greatly increase your chances of success.”

Gala for salmon
The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre in Enderby received a $13,000 grant from the Pacific Salmon Foundation last fall to support a Chinook salmon
conservation program run in partnership with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. To generate donations for similar volunteer efforts, the Vancouver-based
foundation has teamed up with the Okanagan Nation Alliance to host a gala dinner and auction Aug. 2 in Kelowna. “The Pacific Salmon
Foundation has typically had to decline half of the project proposals we received because of lack of funds,” said Michael Meneer, vice-president for

development at the Pacific Salmon Foundation. “Last year’s Chinook project led by the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre was one of 57 Pacific salmon projects that we have supported in the Okanagan region since 1990.” As part of last fall’s project, Chinook salmon eggs were collected from the Shuswap River by more than 200 volunteers. Some of the eggs were transported to 43 schools that are participating in a federal education program called “Stream to Sea.” The program educates students about salmon and ecosystems, and can involve raising salmon in the classroom and releasing them back into the stream. The centre draws 4,000 children, parents and teachers each year from schools that participate in the Stream to Sea program.
The volunteer-run Kingfisher Interpretive Centre is located 40 km southeast of Salmon Arm and was formed in 1980 in response to the near extinction of salmon stocks in the Shuswap River. Salmon in this watershed face many challenges including rising stream temperatures and loss of spawning habitat. The centre has become a mainstay of Pacific salmon conservation and education activities in the region, said Meneer. For sponsorship information or to buy tickets for the fundraiser gala Aug. 2, contact Greg Senini at 604-664-7664, ext. 111 or gsenini@psf.ca. The event will be held at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort, starting at 5:30 p.m. with a reception featuring creative salmon appetizers prepared by a variety of Okanagan chefs. Tickets are $100 per person.

New technology will help line up your putts This week’s column is dedicated to wellknown Kelowna resident and long-time chiropractor Barry Urness. Along with being my friend, I will never forget the time I got sciatica and had to be on a plane for San Diego. I literally ran into his office, he fixed me up and I was on my way. I’m sure he had done that a million times for others as well. Personal condolences to Betty, his entire family and many friends.

This same technology has been put into an instructional program that teaches you the science of how to read greens in a fun, yet informative clinic. You will go from thinking that a putt breaks this way or that, to knowing exactly how much break to play for any putt. The cool thing
is that it works anywhere. There are two levels of training—fundamentals and advanced concepts. Mills is a certified AimPoint instructor in the B.C. Southern Interior, teaching classes both here and in the U.S. He received his training in Portland, Oregon, with every instructor personally certified by Sweeney. Two months later he won his first professional event in Las Vegas and has never looked back. “At first people wonder what you are doing when referring the AimCharts, but once they see just how well they putt, the wondering stops and the curiosity is piqued,” Mill said.

This program gathers unwanted electronics, including cell phones, print cartridges, digital cameras, laptops, iPods and MP3 players from the community and then exchanges them for money.

So many offer support So it’s been five months now since that tragic day, Jan. 21, 2012. My wife, Jessica’s mom, was finally overcome by the cancer she so fiercely battled. The past nine years of peaks and valleys was over. Jessica and I have been able to push forward while creating our new normal. We have three very large photo albums made up that we visit often. Jessica has really proven her strength and great attitude towards life. She has figured a way to live with our loss and has a grip on what’s happened. We lead very busy lives, some by choice, some just the way it is! This leads me to the point of my story. We have had so much support and help from family and friends, I wanted to publish a huge round of applause and heartfelt thank you to all involved. THANK YOU! There have been a lot of schedules and routines started to keep all the ends together. From pickup after school to playdates to sleepovers—all the people in our world rock! THANK YOU! Back in the first week of March our Westside Ringette family hosted a very successful fundraiser for Jessica at Royal LePage Place. There was a high end ringette game, silent auction, and even a critter toss to raise money for Jessica Jones. We made a substantial deposit to her RESP and saved enough to pay our ringette fees in September— THANK YOU! We had people make food for us and fill our freezer. We have friends pickup and drop off Jessica to Thursday evening youth group.
So many parents and friends at Shannon Lake Elementary school have reached out to offer assistance in so many ways— THANK YOU! Jessica’s schoolwork and studies have continued to be very good and without interruption. She has teachers that are very aware of the importance of smooth transition during crisis. They went so far as to meet with all the other Grade 4s and 5s to prepare them for when Jessica was to return to school— THANK YOU! To all of you that made bank deposits for Jessica in lieu of flowers and maybe wonder if it is ever recognized. The BMO did a fine job of posting names below each deposit made. I wanted to send out cards to all of you but was soon overwhelmed with that task. We kept all of your cards and put them into an album of its own‌ THANK YOU! The management and staff at Freightliner have been more than accommodating in allowing me the ability to change my work hours to coincide with school start times. My co-workers have all stepped up to cover for me in missed time from work or when Jessica and I needed to get away— THANK YOU! So once again, I would like to thank all of the people involved in our world and day to day lives. You really make a difficult situation much more manageable— THANK YOU!

Rockets Happy-go-lucky Pearson a big hit for Falcons chose 6-foot, 183 lb left ‘‘ winger Warren Henderson
last season for Kelowna. “I think his experience in the league last year made him a much better all-round hitter,” Cantwell said of Pearson.
STAFF REPORTER
At 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, with good handeye coordination, quick reflexes and some natural athletic ability, Kyle Pearson already possessed a lot of what it took to hit a baseball. Mix in a happy-golucky mental approach at the plate, and the 21-yearold outfielder for the Kelowna Falcons has never swung the bat with more confidence or with better results than in 2012. “I have to credit my coach back home in Louisiana who has just been telling me to relax and have fun up there,” said Pearson, 21, a native of Stonewall, LA. “He said I should have my heart at 60 beats a minutes, be nice and calm up there, there’s no need to tense up, just stay loose. I think that’s a big reason I’ve had a pretty good year hitting the baseball.” As a junior this spring at LSU-Shreveport, Pearson terrorized opposing pitchers, hitting 14 home runs and adding 66 RBIs while hitting .363. The same kind of production has carried over into his second West Coast League season with Kelowna where Pearson had four home runs, 17 RBIs and a monstrous .423 batting average through his

OUTFIELDER KYLE PEARSON, in his second season with the Kelowna Falcons, was hitting .423 with four home runs and 17 RBI in his first 15 games. first 15 games. Falcons head coach Al
Cantwell said Pearson has come a long way since
hitting two home runs and batting .270 in 45 games
“Last year he was supposed to be one of the extras for us, he struggled early, then really started to pick things up and became a regular player. He had a great year at school and he hasn’t missed a beat with us. He’s smarter, he’s getting himself into good hitter’s counts, and he works hard off the field, too.” For Pearson’s part, coming back to Kelowna for a second summer of baseball wasn’t a tough decision. “I really like the competitiveness of the league, I like the pitching that we get to see, and I really enjoyed Kelowna,” said Pearson, who said there’s
an added bonus in that the Falcons’ team of 2012 is much stronger offensively than a year ago. Amidst other batting threats like Greg Friesen (.390), Jace Conrad (14 RBIs) and Tyler Qualls (.386), Pearson said the Falcons are a more confident group. “There’s a lot more of a positive outlook with this group of guys when they come to the ball park. “Last year, we were just hoping to get hits,” Pearson said. “This year I know we’re going to get hits. We’re trying to do things like drive the ball in the gap, not just trying to put the ball in play.” In addition to being a major producer with the bat, Cantwell said there aren’t many players who are more likable or coachable than Pearson. “He’s a coach’s dream—the first one to the yard, he’s positive, he’s never had a bad day in his life,” said Cantwell. “I think he’ll likely end up playing pro, but I think he’d also make an amazing coach some day. He loves to help and just loves the game.” Pearson, Cantwell and the Falcons will open a six-game road trip Friday in Klamath Falls, Ore., against the Gems.

The Kelowna Rockets selected a Swedish forward in this week’s Canadian Hockey League import draft. With the 62nd overall selection, the Rockets chose 6-foot, 183 pound left winger Henrik Nyberg. The CHL import draft is held each year and combines the WHL, the Ontario Hockey League and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Rockets only made one selection. Nyberg played last season with Djurgardens in the Swedish Super Elite League where he registered 11 points in 30 games as a 17-year-old. The Rockets also still hold onto the rights of Latvian Zemgus Girgensons, who was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the first round of the NHL draft that was held last weekend.

A: Portugal. Q: Which of their players inspires you? A: Cristiano Ronaldo. I watched him growing up, and he’s just always been my favourite player. Q: How do they tease you about being the youngest guy on the team? A: They don’t really, they’re a good bunch of guys. The odd time I have to pack up the equipment or stuff like that. Q: Does that make you work a little harder, though, to prove yourself? A: Yeah, for sure, just because we (on the substitutes bench), when we get substituted in, we want to make our mark so we can play a little more. Q: As a striker, what is your goal-scoring secret? A: My strength is shooting. I like to shoot. Power and accuracy. I’m not a big fan of skills and stuff, I’m just a little more simple. Q: How far are you going to take your soccer career? A: As far as I can, really. After university maybe go somewhere in Europe. I’m half Portuguese, so I’d try to go there.
6-game streak
The Kelowna Falcons extended its winning streak to six on Monday night sweeping the Bend Elks for the first time in franchise history. Starting pitcher Cord Cockrill was masterful in his third win of the season, tossing eight innings and scattering four hits in an 8-1 win. The Falcons broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth on an Andrew Firth two run single. Also in the inning the Falcons would score a run on a wild pitch. Firth would then score on an RBI from Cameron Alvarado. Kyle Pearson smacked his league leading fifth homerun of the season, finishing with three hits and three runs scored. Kyle Moses and Greg Friesen also added RBIs in the series finale. The Falcons finished their seven game home stand 6-1 and raise their overall record to 13-5 and take sole possession of second place in the East Division. The club will now have two days off before making the long bus ride to Klamath Falls, Oregon, for a weekend series with the 2-16 Gems. The Falcons will also face the Elks in Bend next week. The Falcons will return home on Friday, July 6, to host the West Division leading Corvallis Knights. Prior to the game on Monday night, two Falcons were named Co-Players of the Week in the West Coast League (WCL). Pitcher David Ernst made two starts and earned two wins allowing only four hits and a run over 11.2 innings pitched. For the summer, Ernst is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA. Catcher Jerry McClanahan went 12-for-21 with four doubles, two home runs and five RBIs to earn his share of WCL Player of the Week honours. It’s the second consecutive week that a Falcon has been named the Player of the Week as pitcher Brandon Marris won the award last week.

Heat release Westside gym members excel at Tough Mudder event hoops schedule for 2012-13 CIS season
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
When the British Special Forces developed an obstacle course to test allaround physical and mental strength, they didn’t set out to make it easy. But that didn’t stop 15,000 from travelling to Whistler this past weekend to take part in the Tough Mudder event. Nineteen of those individuals were clients and coaches of Bodyshop CrossFit in West Kelowna. Brad Hall, a coach at the Westside gym, said that the group had been training for the physical challenge for three months. Every Saturday, the team would meet for two-hour sessions to prepare for Tough Mudder. “The event was 12 miles and we had 23 military-type obstacles on the course,� said Hall. Those obstacles included swimming in ice water, crawling under barbed wire and traversing through seemingly endless amounts of mud. Bodyshop CrossFit’s team consisted of Hall, his wife and 17 male and female clients ranging in age from mid-20s to late 50s. “We’re kind of hardcore at CrossFit. Everyone took it on as a challenge.� Hall said the grueling challenge wasn’t too much for any member of the group. “Everybody said their fitness level was great. Nobody got so exhausted that they had to stop

With one year of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) play under their belts the UBC Okanagan basketball teams are no longer the new kids on the block in the Canada West conference as it has moved to a 16-team schedule for the 2012-13 season. To reach 16 teams, the Canada West basketball conference will welcome its newest members, the Mount Royal University Cougars out of Calgary and the University of Northern BC Timberwolves from Prince George. That will bring the total number of basketball schools in Canada West to 16 as both squads will join the Heat in the Pacific division, giving Canada West two divisions of eight teams, the other division being the Prairie. The two new schools will likely become instant rivals with the Heat as both are former CCAA (Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association) foes and will be vying with UBC Okanagan for one of four guaranteed playoff berths awarded to the Pacific division. The other five members of the division are: UBC, University of Fraser Valley, Thompson Rivers University, Trinity Western University, and University of Victoria. The UBC Okanagan basketball teams open their league schedule on the road Friday and Saturday Nov. 2 and 3 in the provincial capital as the team makes its first trip to Vancouver Island to play the University of Victoria Vikings. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home opener will take place the following weekend (Nov. 9 and 10) as UBC Okanagan will host one of the two newcomers in the Mount Royal Cougars. This coming season all of the UBC Okanagan Canada West home games will go Friday nights at 6 p.m. (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) and 8 p.m. (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s). Games start an hour earlier the next Saturday with tip-off set for 5 p.m. (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) and 7 p.m. (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s). The rest of the first semester will have the Heat hosting just one more set of games with singles against Brandon University and the Regina Cougars as those schools come to town Nov. 23 and 24 respectively. The 2013 Canada West schedule will get underway when the Heat and the WolfPack play the first game of the new year in Kamloops, Saturday, Jan. 5, after which the Heat will play host three of the next four weekends, playing at home in order: University of Calgary-University of Lethbridge (Jan. 11 and12). The must see event of this semi-homestand of course is the UBC versus UBC matchup at the end of January, the first time ever the Thunderbird basketball squad will play on UBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okanagan campus. The second half has the Heat only on the road for two weekends: at the University of Saskatchewan and University of Alberta, Jan.18 and 19, for one game versus each school, and a trip to Langley for a doubleheader versus Trinity Western Feb. 8 and 9. The team will end its conference schedule hosting the WolfPack Saturday, Feb.16. Basketball playoffs begin Feb. 22 with four quarter-final divisional cross over series. The highest-seeded winners of the quarter-finals will host the Canada West Final Four on March 1 and 2. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CIS Round 1 is March 8 to 10, the same weekend as the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CIS Final 8 hosted by Carleton University in Ottawa. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final 8 tournament is March 15 to17 in Regina. For more info on schedules and gametime please visit www.goheat.ca.

Ogopogos beat Advocates; Camels’ Gardner breaks ankle Big O Tire/Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos will celebrate Canada Day all alone in fourth place in the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League. The ever-improving Ogopogos moved two games over .500 for the first time in years by grounding Pushor Mitchell Advocates of Kelowna 3-1 Monday night at Marshall Field #4. Rookie Roland Riedstra was double trouble for Pushor Mitchell, working a sweet giveand-go with fellow striker Mark Wasylyk in the first minute. Wasylyk beat keeper Chris Turbitt low to the corner for his ninth goal of the year. Big O kept applying pressure on the 10-man Advocates side and managed two more goals by Riedstra, one on a nice feed from Brad Conlin. Riedstra ran free towards the outcoming Turbitt and used some nifty foot work for a deke before blasting a shot into the open net. The second goal by Riedstra, his eighth of the season, came off a great free kick by Leo Nadeau putting Wasylyk on a break. Wasylyk unselfishly put a cross past Turbitt to a wide open Riedstra at the far post. Late in the match, Pushor Mitchell (3-61) managed to spoil Yogi Kongsdorf’s shutout dreams with a hard shot from the top of the 18. Kongsdorf made a nice diving save and the ball slowly rolled out of his finger tips as he laid helplessly on the ground. Bob Dupas rushed in to touch the loose ball into the net. Nadeau played awesome for the Ogopogos (6-4), keeping control and organization and making it look easy with his centre defence partner Rob Ross. Big O leapfrogged the Silver Stars and Salmon Arm McIsaac & Co., who both lost Monday night. The Leko Precast Camels of Vernon shut down Cantinas of Kelowna 4-0 but lost veteran de-

Gardner landed awkwardly on his ankle after a clearance ball struck him in the head seven minutes into the second half as he overlapped down the wing. He broke his ankle on both sides which means he will have a plate and pins. Gardner was taken to Kelowna General Hospital and doctors re-aligned his ankle preparing for surgery Tuesday. “He broke it near the sideline so we could hear the loud crack,” said Camels’ veteran Ron Krause. “Johnny was just screaming in pain.” Gord Howard put the Humpbacks up in the 15th minute after Al Murphy’s header off a Rob Hulstein corner was stopped. Some 30 minutes after Gardner’s injury halted the game, play resumed and 90 seconds later, Murphy made it 2-0 on a breakaway. Defender Jeff Vest went bottom right on a penalty kick three minutes later after Murphy was pulled down on a slide tackle.
Murphy connected on one of his patented diving headers, off a cross by Rick Raber, to complete the 8-2 Leko offence. Bosman Accounting of Vernon snapped an eight-game losing skid by grounding the nine-man Rutland Spirit 3-1 at Marshall #1. Rich Chapman put Rutland ahead near the 15th minute after Bosman missed a handful of good scoring chances. Chapman fooled keeper Pete Richter with a 35-yard free kick. Bosman (2-8) quickly countered and levelled the score when Ian Murphy nodded a Tom Ouchi corner flush into the middle
of the net. Bosman went up a few minutes later when Kevin Mitchell fed Murphy a nifty side flickon and Murphy raced by a defender and buried a beauty. Henk Bosman took a through ball up the middle from Murphy—named the Viagra Man of the Match—beat a defender and nailed a hard shot for the 3-1 goal. The gritty Spirit fell to 0-9-1. League-leading Penticton United stuffed Salmon Arm McIsaac & Co. 5-0 at Beasley Park in Lake Country. Penticton (9-1) opened the scoring when Kevin Kothlow took a pass down the left side and surprised
keeper Ray Tims with a low, hard shot to the corner inside the post. Zeke Pescada made it 2-0 after dancing through a few defenders, In the second half, Ken Horncastle put United up 3-0 on a well-struck free kick around the outside of the wall and into the corner. Kothlow supplied the fourth goal after a nice build up from the midfield, followed by a long pass from Rob Jackson that eluded defenders and found Kothlow behind the back line for a tap in. Hard-luck striker Darren (Skinny) Schipf netted his first goal of the season after Pescada stole a ball and broke through the defence and unselfishly passed to Schipf for an easy goal. Salmon Arm dipped to 5-4-1. Kelowna Marketplace IGA stayed two points back of Penticton by stuffing the Silver Stars 4-0 at Parkinson #9 Field. The first half was tight with only a single Lionel Hoffman goal separating the teams. IGA came out to put the game to bed in the second half and got goals from the Brown Brothers (Don and Gord)

JUST ANOTHER DAY
STAFF REPORTER
at the office for motocross riders Kris Garwasiuk and Bruce Cook as they perform stunts for an awestruck audience.
Being upside down, 40 feet in the air, with fingertips clenching onto the handles of a Kawasaki bike, is a thought that would likely give shivers to even the most daredevilish of personalities. But for Kris Garwasiuk and Bruce Cook, it’s another day at the office. Garwasiuk and Cook travel the world with their bikes, completing some of the most difficult motocross tricks ever invented in front of thousands of eyes. “Once you reach the level that we’re at now, it’s quite safe for us,” says Garwasiuk. “There’s definitely some degree of danger, but like anything, the more practice you do, the better you get at it. I’ve been doing shows like this for 15 years now.”

Westside Daze show Monday, July 2. “The cool thing about Westside Daze is that we’re right in our backyard—it doesn’t get much better than that.” Unfavourable weather forced the riders to reschedule last year; therefore, the crew will be crossing their fingers for good weather this time around. “Unfortunately, if it’s really windy, our show can’t perform because we’re really high in the air…we just had bad luck.” Garwasiuk promises that viewers will be in awe of the mid-air maneuvers he and Cook have planned, including backflips, cliffhangers and superman attempts.

ing up for the Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies and Renewable Energy Conservation at the Okanagan College campus in Penticton. The eye-catching and energy-efficient building earned the International Architecture Awards’ Green Good Design Award from the prestigious European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. “The jury selected outstanding examples of green design from 27 nations,” said the centre’s chief operating officer Kieran Conlon. Among those examples were the tranquil Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, the futuristic Stacking Green House in Vietnam, and the swooping glass Glasnevin Trust Museum in Dublin, and Okanagan College’s newest building, which is among the most sustainable buildings of its type in the world. The International Architecture Awards date back to 1950 in Chicago —a wellspring of architectural design, and home to many buildings and residences crafted by Frank Lloyd Wright. The award comes fast on the heels of three other awards for the College’s Centre of Excellence— two from the Illuminating Engineering Society, plus a Canadian Green Building Award from SAB (Sustainable Architecture Building) Magazine. Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton said the awards are evidence of the value of the vision inherent in the project and reflect the high standards of the Centre’s design and construction team, exemplified by the firm CEI Architecture Planning Interiors of Vancouver. “The college’s focus on sustainability inspired CEI and their designs. Those in turn inspired other project partners and the college and regional community,” Hamilton said. The centre was also one of seven structures across the country to receive the 2012 SAB Award for the Canadian Green Building design. The building will be featured in the July/August issue of SABMagazine.

ENTERTAINMENT Kwizera building a career in his adopted homeland Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Ezra Kwizera was the epitome of the big fish in a small pond in Rwanda where his music still catches ears over the very airways once used to annihilate his people. This is how he tells it when he picks up the phone mid-recording session in Surrey to introduce himself to another new audience, those in Kelowna who might stop by his Minstrel Café concert or this weekend’s Lille Gard Festival. “I really emphasize love and forgiveness,” he says. “It’s all about although I’m crying today, I will be smiling tomorrow.” Kwizera belongs to the Tutsi ethnic group. In 1994, over one million Tutsi people were killed by the Hutu population in Rwanda in a genocide incited by radio propaganda and executed with unprecedented expedience. The minority Tutsi held power in the country for centuries, but when the majority Hutu seized control of the country from the Tutsi monarchy, civil unrest ensued, culminating in a 100-day killing spree three decades later that left an es-
timated 800,000 people dead, including much of Kwizera’s extended family. “Right now, when you read about Rwanda, it’s about forgiveness. We were talking about mothers killing their own husbands in front of their kids, mothers who killed their kids because the father was Tutsi…And now they’re talking about reconciliation,” he explains. This is the backdrop for the world beat, reggae, soca and dance hallstylings Kwizera wants to continue earning his living from, though he’s now outside Rwanda. Described as a gospel singer by The New Times Rwanda, which regularly follows his career moves, his interviews are traditionally as upbeat as his music and reflect a man trying to continue a career within the country, though clearly planning to live in Canada. Kwizera is married to a Canadian whom he fell in love with in the early 2000s as she did volunteer work in Rwanda and he tried to piece together the family lineage that war and civil unrest had destroyed. The pair married and lived in Rwanda, but
when he wanted children, she said she wouldn’t know how to raise them in an African nation where orphanages fill with the abandoned Hutu and Tutsi who survive. The result is a man caught between two worlds. “My message is positive. I don’t talk about: Oh you killed us,” he says. His latest song includes lyrics like: “Never give up because we’re all hanging on the same rock, you have to brush it off.” He isn’t exactly hanging on the same rock on this day, mind you. He’s in a Surrey studio trying to help his backup singers negotiate their harmonies. It’s a fine line to walk, trying to replace the music in a land where vast amounts of culture have been destroyed by civil war, though without having a daily connection to the realities of living life in that place. To do so, he maintains an African studio, Narrow Road Productions, and runs a charity, Narrow Road Ministries. In January, he is also starting a music school. Kwizera himself grew up in Uganda. His parents were refugees who fled that country when the Hutu seized power
RAISED in Uganda with roots that run deep in Rwanda, African gospel reggae star
in 1959. They had seven children, though Kwizera’s father was dead by the time he was eight. He spoke more languages than he had fingers on his hand to avoid being pegged as a refugee on the schoolground; and he had a natural talent for music that got him handpicked for band. Music wasn’t always fun, but it proved a way to earn a living as a DJ and it was an outlet, if not always a happy one. His teachers had a phrase: “If you play off the bottom, you will get hit on the bum.” He learned quickly and rose to the top; and now he’s looking for a Canadian-based music career that will allow him to do the same. To hear songs from Kwizera’s latest album, pressed last week and ready for his show over the long weekend, head to the Minstrel Café July 2 at 8 p.m. There is a $5 entertainment charge. He also plays the Lille Gard Music and Arts Festival, June 30 to July 1, at the Bottega in East Kelowna. Tickets are on sale at www.lillegard.tribehouse.org for $10 in advance and $15 at the door.

Scherman’s art a series of ‘heavily laden symbols’ T ON VIEW
Liz Wylie
he work of Tony Scherman is a perfect example of art in which the actual subject is not the object(s) portrayed. Visitors to our current exhibition of 12 works on paper by this prolific and well-known Toronto-based artist will see im-
ages in mixed media that depict things like food on a plate, a woman’s face, flowers, and a bird’s head. If viewers take a look at these and then leave for home without any further thought, they will have missed the boat. For every image that Scherman selects to render is actually a
heavily laden symbol, and often of something crushingly horrible and intensely redolent of life’s darker side. Beginning in the 1990s (after more than two decades working and exhibiting professionally) Scherman began to explore creating works of art
that depicted scenes from works of literature, beginning with Ovid’s Metamorphosis, and moving onto Banquo’s murder by Macbeth, imagined from Shakespeare’s play. In the late 1990s he fully hit his stride with his About 1789 series, which centred on Napoleon and
the French Revolution. About half the works in our exhibition are from or relate to this group of work, beginning with the portraits of Gillian Anderson, who became famous as Agent Scully in the XFiles TV series (which was hugely popular in France, so Scherman had
her face stand in as the representation of the abstract notion of Liberty). In a sidebar to his About 1789 series, Scherman explored Hitler’s Nazism and the Final Solution, drawing chilling parallels between

Subsequently Scherman created a Blue Highway series (largely executed in blue paint, thought by many people to be the most metaphysical of all the colours) about people who had suffered from soul loss largely due to their celebrity. The people depicted in these paintings ranged from Marilyn Monroe to Kurt Cobain. Next came his works around the American Civil War, which he titled About 1865. In the early years of this century Scherman was absorbed by the Oedipus myth. And so it goes, as he continues to think up and tackle topics that allow him to delve deeply in to the human psyche. Even Scherman’s flower paintings, which seem straightforward enough, and are lovely and luscious depictions (often of peonies), so obviously a pleasure

ings have been concentrated metaphysical medi-
tations on the artist’s part for several years now.
Of course viewers can simply ignore all the emotional and psychological content of Scherman’s work and just enjoy the creations for their expressive and skillful use of artistic vocabulary and means; Scherman’s sheer facility would be hard to match, let alone out do. Some works may seem quickly done or dashed off, but in fact, each is a search, a plumbing, and can take years to finally leave the studio, with all sorts of adjustments and reworkings finally making the pieces complete in the artist’s estimation. Scherman also works in large scale on canvas. Works on paper, like these on view, are a companion practice, allowing him to work out ideas more rapidly and on a smaller scale. Come and see what you make of these works. The show runs at the Kelowna Art Gallery until July 29. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. 250-762-2226 http://kelownaartgallery.com

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS
Changes in local movie-going O ver the past week, there have been a lot of big changes for movie choices at the Landmark Cinemas in the Central Okanagan, with most of the attention focused on the new Landmark Cinemas 8. However, I wanted to give a brief summary of some of the changes that did not get as much attention. The other big change is that the Capitol Theatre in West Kelowna is now called the Landmark
Encore Capitol Theatre. The Capitol is now playing movies that have recently left theatres but are not quite on DVD, otherwise known as “second run” movies. This weekend, they will be playing movies like The Hunger Games, What to Expect When You’re Expecting, Dark Shadows and The Pirates! Band of Misfits for $4 or less (not including the 3D surcharge, where applicable). The Paramount and
Grand 10 Cinemas will both still be playing first run, and in addition to tickets being available online for the new Landmark 8, you can also purchase tickets online for both the Paramount and the Grand 10 (tickets for the Capitol are not available online). However, only the number eight Extreme auditorium at the Landmark 8 offers reserved seating. To book tickets online or find out what is playing

Rick Davis at your favourite theatre, go to www.landmarkcinemas.com. ••• All these changes are just in time for one of the busiest weeks of the year. Opening tomorrow (Friday, June 29) are both Ted and Magic Mike. Ted is the first feature film from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, who also provides the voice of the title character. Mark Wahlberg stars as John, a perfectly normal Boston native whose childhood wish for his teddy bear, Ted, to come to life comes true. The bear remains his best friend into his adult years but conflict emerges when Ted’s irresponsible and vulgar slacker lifestyle gets in the way of John’s attempt to embrace adulthood and his love interest (Mila Kunis). Ted has been getting a lot of good buzz and is a must-see for fans of Family Guy and for those who want to see Wahlberg play straight man to a stuffed bear. Raunchy and funny in a different way, Magic Mike has already had buzz around star Channing Tatum who was actually a male stripper before he became a star. What is not as publicized is that it is helmed by Ocean’s 11 director Ste-

ENTERTAINMENT â&#x2013;ź MOVIE REVIEW
Movies destined for the $2.99 bin ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER
BEHIND THE SCREEN
T
his wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite a romp through history but it did, in a weird way, touch on actual events while portraying Southern plantation owners to be vampires and their slaves their hapless victims. Wow, how much more fun can you have at the movies? It seems that vampires murdered Abe Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and he becomes a revengeful vampire killer. This guy was busy. Along with a couple of trusted friends, Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper and Will Johnson (Anthony Machu) he battles on while trying to secure his place in American history. E Lincoln married YMary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and later she became the first Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife to be called The First Lady.
k s
Susan Steen No surprise here that the producer was Tim Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this show is not only gory, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gory in 3D. The absurd story line is oddly compelling in a strange way and likely more graphically entertaining than the book by Seth Graeme Smith, but while it takes you from the boy Lincoln to the night he leaves for the theatre, it leaves no time for character development and we find Lincoln cold and uncaring. His wife Mary, however; was actually a follower of spiritualism and believed the living could contact the dead. I doubt
even she would have believed just how many dead could be contacted. In real life, Mary suffered from depression, anxiety and paranoia. Hmm, I wonderâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be. This took $16 million at the box office in its first weekend and will likely soon be gone from the theatre leaving us to ask once again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?â&#x20AC;? Best Line: â&#x20AC;&#x153;History prefers legends to men.â&#x20AC;? I give this two reels
SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD I also saw Seeking a Friend for the End of the World and I have to be honest here, I am not a big fan of Steve Carrell and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not. Keira Knightly is really good playing the ever frustrating female lead but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so frustrating and
silly that you really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much like her either. An asteroid is to hit the earth in three weeks and the predictable way in which many prepare is just not funny. In fact, with a couple of exceptions, the whole thing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t funnyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;how funny can it be if you have three weeks to live. But they tried to make it poignant and funny and romantic and it was a hard sell. Not to mention, that Carrell in any sort of love story is less than plausible on a good day. Poignancy is captured somewhat when the son and dad meet after many years, but this one just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite make the grade. So, if the end of the world seems imminent, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste your time going to this oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if it looks like we are to keep spinning, then maybe if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck for something to do. susansteen1234@shaw.ca
Visit website to volunteer Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR
A new feature of Kelowna Community Resourceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, www. kcr.ca, is the Calendar of Community Events under Community Services. You can view it either as a calendar or as a list. I know, I know, another calendar of events. In our defense, we are offering this for three reasons. First, we want to make this calendar as complete as possible for community event planners and volunteers. In addition to nonprofit organizations submitting their events, we are also taking the initiative to seek out events. This supports smaller organizations that might not have staff to promote online. We are also adding the national days dedicated to specific causes. The second reason we are committed to preparing community event calendars is to support event
planning. Nonprofit organizations will have one place to do an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;environmental scan.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This scan helps event planners find out what other events were held last year on that weekday or weekend. Planners can link events to nationally recognized themes. Thought can be given to partnering with other special events to expand or to add a fresh twist for a good cause. Event planners and volunteers can subscribe in Google Calendar. This adds the KCR Calendar of Community Events as a parallel calendar to your own online calendar. I think this is such a cool feature: The information comes to me. Thirdly, we hope that our calendar of events will encourage people to
volunteer. Each event requires many hands to make the work light. As you scan upcoming events, think about the volunteer profile you have created. What activities have you checked in the special event category? You can select concessions, coordination, greeter, parking lot, security, or ticket sales to name a few. Use the calendar of community events and your volunteer profile to bring opportunities directly to you online.

Helpful stroke recovery treatments
A
stroke occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is reduced or interrupted, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Within a few minutes, brain cells begin to die. Ischemic stroke, the most common type, occurs when the arteries to the brain are narrowed or blocked, severely reducing blood flow (ischemia). The other type of stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures, causing too much blood within the skull. Hemorrhages can result from a number of conditions that affect the blood vessels, including uncontrolled high blood pressure, weak spots in the blood vessel walls and the rupture of a malformed blood vessel. Symptoms of stroke include trouble with walking, loss of balance or coordination, dizziness, trouble speaking, blurred or double vision, severe headache, stiff neck, facial pain and paralysis or numbness on one side of the body. A stroke can lead to temporary or permanent disability, such as paralysis or loss of control of certain muscles, difficulty talking or swallowing, memory loss or trouble with understanding and pain, tingling or numbness in certain parts of the body. Early treatment can minimize damage to the brain and potential
stroke complications. Recovery and rehabilitation depend on the area of the brain and the amount of tissue James damaged. Harm to the right Kaufman side of the brain may affect movement and sensation on the left side of the body. Damage to brain tissue on the left side may affect movement on the right side, as well as speech and language functions. In addition, people who’ve had a stroke may have problems with breathing, swallowing, balancing and hearing and loss of vision and bladder or bowel function. Every person’s stroke recovery is different, depending on what complications a person might have. The goal of stroke rehabilitation is to help the person recover as much independence and functioning as possible. Much of stroke rehabilitation involves relearning lost skills, such as walking or communicating. The speed of recovery depends on the extent of damage to the brain, the intensity and duration of therapy received, as well as personality, coping styles and motivation. In Chinese medicine, stroke is caused by a number of factors that tend to play out over a long period of time and depending on the factors involved, this will determine the type of symptoms experienced during and after a stroke. Chinese medicine distinguish-
NEEDLE NOTES
es two general types of stroke. The most severe type attacks the internal organs as well as the energy pathways (meridians) and the milder type attacks only the meridians. Lifestyle factors that put a person at greater risk include long term stress or overwork, excessive or strenuous physical activity, emotional strain and irregular or poor eating habits. Acupuncture can be a very helpful therapy during the stroke rehabilitation process. As with other types of therapies, acupuncture tends to have the most positive effect on stroke recovery if treatment is started as early on as possible, ideally within the first 3 to 6 months of the stroke. Acupuncture treatments can offer the stroke patient improvements in the areas of walking, balance, emotions, quality of life, ease of daily activity and mobility. Studies show that acupuncture can have an effect on nerve regeneration, blood viscosity and blood pressure, hormone regulation and aid surviving nerve cells in finding new pathways. Acupuncture is also helpful in the treatment of headache, dizziness and hypertension. Because a stroke is a more complex problem, treating this condition with acupuncture will take a series of treatments in order to improve symptoms and achieve the best results.

Chronic pain injuries often left to be suffered in silence R
hetorical question: How many of us suffer from chronic pain? I don’t. When I think about it, I consider myself lucky and figure my luck could run out at any time. I should think about it more. I should be ever mindful about how lucky (blessed, if that is how you lean) I am. Those of you who suffer from chronic pain know that it affects every aspect of life. There’s nothing that you can’t do, but there are many things that you avoid doing or do differently to keep your level of pain from being aggravated beyond a manageable level. It is psychological-

Paul Hergott ly destructive to focus on those limitations, though. A “cup half full” outlook is important to keep from spiraling into depression. You are hopefully able to adjust to your new reality. To an objective observer, you are fine. Noone would know that you are carrying a burden. You have modified your activities to keep your pain below that threshold that it would be-
come noticeable. You may be taking anti-depression medication which masks your low mood. You have also learned from experience that noone wants to know about your pain. You have learned to say you’re doing fine when you’re not. Nobody wants to spend time with a complainer. We tend to associate ourselves with people who make us feel happy; not with people who make us feel sad. Years ago I learned about a counseling method called “co-counseling” where participants provide counseling sessions to each other. It is based on each
participant having equal time. There was no room for one participant having more counseling time than another. That’s the way our social “system” works generally. You share something about yourself with the full expectation that the person you are sharing with will immediately return with something about himself or herself. If you don’t believe me, look for it during your next conversation. A person suffering from chronic pain learns quickly to suffer in silence. I have come to learn about chronic pain through my personal injury legal practice.

Ellison school playground upgraded School District 23 has received $50,000 in the final phase of funding for the repair, improvement and replacement of the playground at Ellison Elementary. An additional $3.3 million in playground funding is being provided for 80 schools across all 60 school districts by the province. This is the final phase of an $8 million playground funding commitment made by Premier Chris-
ty Clark and Education Minister George Abbott last September for elementary and middle schools in British Columbia. It brings the total number of schools benefiting from the twoyear playground funding program to 227 across the province. “For elementary students, there’s no substitute for a good playground. It’s a place to socialize with their friends, a place to have fun and
burn off extra energy, and where they hopefully start a life-long habit of staying active and healthy,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick For the first phase of the program, the B.C. government provided more than $2 million to 23 school districts for new playground equipment at 41 priority middle and elementary schools without playgrounds.

My clients are suffering from chronic pain because of injuries sustained, for the most part, in motor vehicle collisions. On the one hand, there’s an added psychological element to deal with. There’s the nagging reality that the development of chronic pain would never have occurred if the offending driver had simply given his or her driving the level of care and responsibility that it deserved. On the other hand, at least our legal system provides for the right to pursue fair compensation for that pain. Of course, compensation is never “fair” in the sense of balancing out chronic pain. Every one of my clients would return their settlements in a heartbeat if it meant returning to a pain free life. The pursuit of fair compensation requires proving that pain and those innumerable ways it
impacts on your life. Consider the challenge of doing that when you have learned to modify your life in such a way that your pain is hidden from the world around you. Consider that your own descriptions of that pain and of those impacts are likely to be looked at very critically because there is a general perception that those making injury claims are trying to screw the insurance company. If only medical science had progressed to the point that pain could be detected, measured and proven by a machine. This is where witnesses become absolutely critical for injury claims. I don’t mean witnesses to the collision itself— liability is seldom at issue. I mean people who have known you since before the collision, who are close enough to you that they have cared to notice the changes that you have struggled to keep hidden. Has someone close to
you been injured in a collision? I encourage you to given them all the support you can in their recovery, to help minimize the long term effects of the injuries. I also encourage you to support them in a different way—to be mindful that at some point justice will require you to validate their losses. To do so effectively, you will need to notice the indicators of pain, the clues that the person close to you is unable to hide. You will need to notice the changes in that person’s activities or ways of doing things, however subtle, that he or she is unable to avoid.

WEST Parade line-up has 100 floats Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Westside Daze organizers have planned a parade that is fit for the Queen. So it’s appropriate that one of her representatives will be in attendance. Lt.-Gov. Steven Point will lead the Westside Daze parade Saturday morning. 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. More than100 floats will paint the streets in this year’s parade. “I would say that the parade is certainly a very integral part of the whole weekend,” said Carl Bartholm, organizer of the Westside Daze parade. “The audience for the parade seems to be getting bigger all the time.” Bartholm has been volunteering with Westside Daze for six years. He says that the wet zone is one of the event’s most appealing factors. “As far as I know it’s the only parade in B.C. that allows a wet zone,” Bartholm said. The parade route starts at the intersection of Butt Road and Old Okanagan Highway. It travels south until Drought Road, where it turns west. At Brown Road the route heads back north toward Butt Road, where See Parade B10

THE ANNUAL parade is always one of the major highlights of the Westside Daze. This year, the parade will take place starting at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Fun event that brings the community together Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
For four days, West Kelowna’s pulse will be faster, smiles will be bigger, the sun will feel hotter and residents will feel closer to one another. That’s the power of Westside Daze. Leah Thordarson, administrator, entertainment chair and treasurer of Westside Daze, says that the event is basically a party for 28,000 people. She and the 14 other volunteers who make up the Westside Celebration Society have been working year-round to make sure that party is a success. The society formed in 2002 with its own board of directors to prevent work from being passed back and forth between organizations. When the society was created, Westside Daze was a single day event. Now the celebration spans over four days. “It was too hard for service clubs or

B.C. Lt.-Gov Steven Point has agreed to be the honourary parade marshall for 2012. All the Westside Daze favourites are still around in 2012. Impressive tribute bands and other entertainment will grace the main stage throughout the weekend, the car show will see more vehicles roll in than ever, Okanagan Day will showcase First Nations traditions, the Kids Fair will entertain young ones and fireworks will light up the sky.

WESTSIDE DAZE
Price is right for the Kids Fair Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
In a time when parents are clenching onto their wallets tighter than ever, the word “free” can bring about a sigh of relief—especially when that word applies to an event that will keep the young ones happily occupied. The Westside Daze Kids Fair begins immediately after Saturday’s parade and runs until 5 p.m. at Johnson-Bentley Memorial Park. “The field goes from nobody to hundreds of kids in half-an-hour. It’s amazing to see,” said Susan Sutfin, organizer of the Kids Fair.
Sutfin has volunteered for Westside Daze for the last eight years. She says that the children’s event has gotten bigger in recent years. “Kids Fair has always been a part of Westside Daze, but over the last five years it has grown from a few booths to what we have today: A huge field full of fun.” Tents will feature various crafts and games, while several other activities—such as a gladiator obstacle challenge, a crawl zone, a balloon typhoon, a combo castle and a rock wall—are being brought in to ensure young ones have a good time. Those six-years-old and up will also have an opportunity to ride the

gyroscope, which is being provided by Morning Star Bible Camp. Additionally, three volunteers have offered to lend their artistic talent to provide kids with face paintings. And everything is free. “We wanted something that a family could go to and not worry about the cost. That’s something hard to do these days.” Throughout the Kids Fair there will also be entertainment happening on the main stage. “The adults can relax, enjoy the day and the kids can take a break from running around and still have fun.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Happy Canada Day & Happy Westside Daze from
For the fourth straight year, Westside Daze will celebrate First Nation people and their history. And for the fourth straight year, organizer Pamela Barnes is confident that the day will be a success. “We’ve had a lot of really positive feedback,” said Barnes. “People really appreciate having the opportunity to learn a little bit about the local First Nations culture.” She says the event is important because “it’s one of the few venues that represents the 10,000 years of history that’s (rarely) told.” “I think it’s educational and I think (people) come to realize that this is a culture that’s very much alive and well, not something that is just from the past.” The day will feature various arts and crafts demonstrations, story telling, a teepee village and informational booths and displays. According to Barnes, one of the new additions to Okanagan Day this year will be the playing of stick game. “Each team is trying to win all the sticks from the other side, plus the

It’s a guessing game with bones—one is marked and the other one isn’t,” said Barnes. “The teams take turns drumming and singing and hiding the bones.” The game is one that Barnes says includes a bit of luck and a lot of skill. “This is the first time that we’ve done it at Okanagan Day. Over the last couple of years, our youth
have been really keen and have picked it up.” One of those young players is Quentin Scott. “There are definitely a lot of people who enjoy it here in Westbank,” Scott said. “We’ll get bored and say, ‘Let’s go play some open games up in the pavilion.’” The longest match that Scott has competed in

Lt.-Gov. Steven Point “The fire department usually makes sure that the crowd gets soaked,” Bartholm said. “There are people with squirt guns, garden hoses and buckets of water—just about anything goes.” He says that the local citizens’ patrol officers play a huge role in the success of the event by blocking off the parade route and redirecting traffic. The parade gets underway at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Bon Jovi tribute band to rock main stage Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
WANDA OLSEN-SAUNDERS shows off her 1965 Buick Riviara Gran Sport, one of the many classic rides to be viewed at the Westside Daze car show Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at Johnson-Bentley Memorial Park.
Car show not just aimed at men Cars from B11 Fittingly, Olsen-Saunders met her husband at a car show. She has been involved with car shows for the past 25 years. Over the last four years, she has used that expertise to help grow the Westside Daze car show. “It’s grown massively. When I started there were 73 cars; last year we had 197.” This year, Olsen-Saunders is expecting to break the 200 mark. Although the organizer of the event is excited by the number of participants, precious space is becoming increasingly limited on the soccer field parking area. “I have to fight to find room for them all…it’s going to be a pinch. Last year we had trucks and jeeps up on the hill on an angle with their emergency brakes on so that we could get everybody in.” Regardless, OlsenSaunders guarantees that she will make room for all automobiles. She credits the increase of wheels to the inclusiveness of the event. “I try to gear my show to the whole family. I want to make sure that women want to come out.
“At a lot of car shows you see the men, but the women are home because they think there’s nothing for them to do at the car show. “If you get them involved, then they come out and enjoy it.” Part of that strategy has been to provide extras— such as t-shirts, 50-50 draws, trophies and prizes—in order to increase interest in the event. Olsen-Saunders has also made it a priority to keep the event interesting for the younger generation. “I think that’s what almost everybody at the car show is all about: Showing younger people how (older) cars are still valuable and still very beautiful…we have vehicles from the early 1900s right up to modern day.” She says that people from Washington, Vancouver Island and Alberta now regularly make the trip to attend the Westside Daze car show. Olsen-Saunders’ own award winning 1965 Buick Riviera will be one of a couple hundred rides on display from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 1, at Johnson Bentley Memorial Park.
His name is Ted Moore, but feel free to call him Jon Bon Jovi. After all, he’s spent the last six years trying to be just like him. Moore and his band, Blaze of Glory, are looking forward to making the Westside Daze crowd think they’re at a Bon Jovi concert Saturday night. The tribute band has played at fairs, festivals and casinos throughout North America and is the first Bon Jovi tribute ever invited to play at the Stone Pony, the legendary nightclub where Bon Jovi got his start. “We were extremely well-received and asked to return again later this year,” said Moore. Moore, who became a full-time musician at the age of 19, says that the tribute market appealed to him for several reasons. “I had to start thinking about what I really wanted from the business—that’s why a tribute worked for me. I wanted to play great gigs, stay at awesome ho-
tels, fly around, eat good food and really enjoy the experience of touring.” Moore says that attempting to replicate Jon Bon Jovi’s persona has been easier in some areas than others. “I don’t think I look exactly like Jon by any means, no one does, but my voice just seems to go that way.” According to Moore, there are at least 53 other Bon Jovi tribute bands worldwide. By putting effort into costumes, appearance, sound and an ability to tour, Blaze of Glory wants to be better than their competition. “Probably three quarters of (the other tribute bands) are in Europe. A lot of them just play the songs, they don’t dress up or they’re not trying to sound exactly like the group. We set the bar that we want to be second best: Only Bon Jovi could do it better than us—that was important.” Those who stop by the main stage Saturday can expect a high energy performance. “This will be the full

LINDEN, FRANCOIS FERNAND Died peacefully, holding the hands of his wife and eldest son, in the early hours of June 23, 2012. Francois was 81 years old. He is survived by his beloved family: his wife of 50 years, Irene Linden (nee Purvis); sons, Paul Linden (Shannon) of Kelowna and Alan Linden (Christine) of Regina; daughters Michelle Linden (Paul) of Victoria and Cathy Linden (Andre) of Edmonton; four grandchildren; Nicolas and Tayanna, Alexandra, and Dryden; and his sister, Annie Jacoby-Linden (Edmond) of Luxembourg. He was predeceased by his parents Josephine Marie Anne and Nicolas and brothers, Henri and Edward, all of Luxembourg; and his sweet son, two-day old Edward. Francois was born and raised in Reuland, Luxembourg. He worked as an interpreter and served with that country’s military police before venturing to Canada in his early 20’s. After disembarking in Halifax, Francois made his way to his uncle’s home in Salmon Arm, BC. A few years later, he followed the family to Nelson, BC. Maybe it was the majestic Kootenay Mountains and the promising forests nestled in their valleys—or maybe it was the beautiful young nurse working at the Kootenay Lake Hospital—but Francois was smitten. After marrying Irene in 1962, the couple moved to the tiny town of Trout Lake, BC, where Francois proudly operated his own logging company for more than 30 years. Over time he purchased several hundred acres. Skillfully and with respect for the environment and its habitat, he logged his own land. Francois loved to sing and play the accordion, tell tales of his youth, read an array of literature, and watch his re-runs of his favourite program, M*A*S*H. His sparkling blue eyes and warm smile gave away his kind and deeply generous heart. With a soft spot for children and animals, he lovingly raised his family and innumerable cats and dogs. His final year was spent happily in Okanagan Center, spending time with family and walking his dog and cat along the scenic trails. He will be remembered for his sentimental soul, his love of the land—especially Trout Lake—and his tremendous hotcakes. The family would like to extend their heart-felt thanks for the special care Francois received in the KGH Emergency Department and the Intensive Care and Cardiac Care Units. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, June 29th, 2012 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, Cardiac Care Unit. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250 860-7077.
