TEMPERATURE RISINGâ&#x20AC;ŚThe preferred words that weather watchers want to hear as the summer gets into swingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a high pressure ridge is building across the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is being forecast for this weekend as local residents and tourists are starting to return to their favourite Okanagan summer haunts such as Hot Sands Beach in Kelowna City Park.

â&#x2013;ź ENVIRONMENT

Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain expected to give way to Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heat Now the worst storms have passed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to look at the sunny side of Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainy season. Among the highlights are the novelty of a record breaking year, lessened risk of wildfire in the immediate future, a robust Okanagan Lake and a solid start to storing up water for the coming dry season. Traditionally the wettest month of the year, Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist explained Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showers washed away previous Kelowna records.

Total rainfall measured 107 millimetres, which is more than double the average 41 mm June rainfall and beyond the 1990 record of 103 mm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had extra storms,â&#x20AC;? said Lundquist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everyone in the Interior got them, but we did.â&#x20AC;? Temperatures were correspondingly lower than normal, as well, coming in at an average of 14.6 C compared to the normal 16.3 C. That said, a corner has been turned and sunnier skies and higher temperatures are ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The heat south of the border is rebounding and heading into our area,â&#x20AC;? Lundquist said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;By early next week we should see temperatures in the mid 30s. It could be pushing the 40s in Osoyoos and Lytton.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the type of weather that usually prompts the masses to head into the forests for various forms of outdoor fun. It also usually leads to a litany of warnings, but Kevin Skrepnek, a fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, said things are looking pretty good at the moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire rating changes from day to day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kelowna and most of the Okanagan is sitting at a low danger rating.â&#x20AC;? Skrepnek also pointed out that

when it comes to drying out the forest floor, a few hot days can be enough to spark trouble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weather forecasts across the board are calling for temperatures to skyrocket,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chances are we will find the danger rating climb as it gets hotter.â&#x20AC;? Fact is, history indicates that a wet lead-in to summer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily herald a smoke-free season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The caution Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d offer is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen years, such as 2003, where the fire season was bookended by floods,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the next 10 days, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much if any precipitation, so we could be (back to) square one despite

having a wet month.â&#x20AC;? Water purveyors are a little less dire about what lies ahead, however, reporting no concern of shortages. One of the most vulnerable to drought is the South East Kelowna Irrigation District. Its water source is divvied up between agricultural and domestic use, with 80 per cent going to farms and 20 per cent to households. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a small watershed so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had problems over the years when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been drought,â&#x20AC;? said Toby Pike, manager of SEKID.

RENOVATIONS TO PROCEED…Kelowna-Lake CountryMP Ron Cannan (left), Rutland Seniors Centre treasurer Dorren Chrin and Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray were among those on hand for a ceremony on Wednesday as the city accepted a federal grant of $21,530 to pay for improvements to the seniors’ facility. “This project was initiated by members of the Rutland Seniors Centre Society who identified a need within the facility and approached us to see how this work could be accomplished,” said Louise Roberts-Taylor, manager of community neighbourhood programs. “The involvement of the society has not stopped there. Members have had input in the development of a concept design for the renovated space, and once the renovation is complete, the society will utilize the space to manage their volunteer program and as a reception area for the programs they deliver.”

Life of Barry Urness celebrated Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The profound and lasting impact Dr. Barry Urness had on his community, his friends and family during his lifetime was celebrated on Wednesday afternoon at Kelowna’s Trinity Baptist Church. More than 800 people attended one of the largest memorial services held at the local church to honour the memory of Urness, who passed away June 21 in Kelowna. He was 69. In delivering the eulogy, Barry’s nephew, Marc Urness, spoke of his uncle’s strength and spirit, his kindness and love for his family. “What I’ll remember is Barry’s tenacity, his endless enthusiasm, his belief in kindness as it pertained

Barry Urness to other people,” said Marc Urness. “Barry’s impact on his province and community is evidenced in many awards and accomplishments, but most importantly, his legacy lives in the family he loved so much, and the way he conducted and lived his life.” A founder of the Okanagan Sun junior football team, Urness was a tireless builder and volun-

teer in the community for more than three decades in Kelowna. Called a “visionary” by many who worked with him closely, Urness served as president of the Kelowna Amatuer Sports Society for 10 years, and also worked on the Kelowna Civic Awards Committee for 25 years. In 2008, he founded the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame Museum and last month was named an inductee. Outside of the realm of sports, Urness was involved in many civic and community endeavors, including serving as provincial director of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, and sitting as the honourary chairman for the first two phases of the Mission Creek Greenway project. He was named winner

of the City of Kelowna’s 2011 Anita Tozer Award for making a positive contribution to the quality of life in Kelowna. Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray summed up Urness’s contributions to the community this way: “The DNA of Barry Urness is all over this great city of Kelowna,” Gray said. “The inspiration, energy and spirit he instilled in others will be his legacy.” A chiropractor in Kelowna for more than 40 years, Urness was also recognized by the Government of Canada with a Commemorative Medallion in honour of the 125th anniversary of Confederation. Barry Urness is survived by his wife Betty, sons David and Dean, and five grandchildren.

Survey says genetically modified fruit spells trouble

richard rolke

CONRIBUTOR

Okanagan orchardists say they have the required proof to fight genetically modified fruit. A national survey indicates 69 per cent of the 1,501 respondents are not in favour of a genetically engineered apple. “We are not in favour of genetically modified food because of the market risk,” said Glen Lucas, B.C. Fruit Growers Association general manager. “The survey validated growers’ concerns that there could be a possible backlash against genetically modified apples.” Lucas says there are several examples of genetically modified organisms being developed and negatively impacting market conditions. Beyond domestic consumers, there is a concern some international customers could stop buying Okanagan apples if genetically modified organisms are allowed. “Europe doesn’t like this kind of product,” said Lucas. The survey was commissioned by B.C. and Quebec orchardists after an Okanagan biotech company applied to have a genetically modified apple approved by the government. When cut, the apple does not brown. Seventy-six per cent of respondents stated the federal government has not

provided adequate information about genetically modified food. A further nine per cent said they had not heard of genetically modified food prior to the survey. Ninety-one per cent of respondents agreed that mandatory labelling of genetically modified food should be required by the federal government. If the food was clearly labelled as being genetically modified, 14 per cent of respondents would purchase the food without hesitating, 45 per cent said it would depend on the type of food being purchased, and 35 per cent said that nothing could convince them to purchase genetically modified food. Seventy-one per cent of the survey respondents indicated they are in favour of having a special category of food (e.g. milk, apples, pablum, fruits and vegetables) that should not be genetically engineered or be free of genetically engineered ingredients. The survey results will be sent to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the federal health and agriculture ministers. “We want to express our concerns about the current regulations on genetically modified products,” said Lucas. “People want more information. We would like the government to postpone further introductions (of genetically modified fruit) until they get their act together and have better public discussion on the issue.”

Bernard upgrade contract awarded Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna has awarded the construction contract for one of its most high-profile, and at times controversial, construction projects the city has undertaken in several years. The $11-million contract to replace aging utilities under the city’s main downtown street, Bernard

Avenue, rebuild the road and revitalize the streetscape above ground has been awarded to Vernonbased CGL Contracting Ltd., city hall announced Wednesday afternoon. The entire project will cost about $13.5 million when all costs are factored in. Businesses in the area will contribute about 25 per cent of the cost of the streetscape portion of the

project, which is expected to be about $4 million of the total. The facelift of the road is expected to radically change the look of Kelowna’s main downtown thoroughfare. The work will encompass the stretch of Bernard from the Sails sculpture on the lakeshore up to just west of the intersection with Richter Street. The Bernard Avenue

Revitalization project will be carried out in three phases, the first this fall, the second next spring and the third in the fall of 2013. Completion of all work is slated the summer of 2014, following landscaping work in the spring of 2014 following the road reconstruction . The reason for the phased work is to accommodate businesses located on Bernard Avenue that don’t want to have the street torn up and their business directly affected during the busy summer and Christmas shopping months. “The civil works are not, for the most part, that challenging but the schedule in order to accommodate the businesses in the area is,” said Purvez Irani, the city manager of roads, drainage and solid waste projects.

Water conservation not forgotten in spite of high dose of rain

HIGH WATER impacts docks along Okanagan Lake (above) and along Mission Creek (left) between Lakeshore Road and the entrance to Okanagan Lake.

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

DEBRIS WASHES UP ON the wheelchair ramp at Rotary Beach in Kelowna. Heat from A1 “So, the water manager’s constant neurosis is running out of water, and this year I’m sleeping well.” Pike explained that June’s rain did two things—it filled up local reservoirs and lowered demand. “With all of this rain, it’s lowered our demand and it’s made sure we have plenty of supply in the future.” Robust supply, however, shouldn’t lead to wasteful behaviour, cautioned Anna Warwick Sears, executive director

of the Okanagan Basin Water Board. “We should work toward water conservation,” she said. “There’s a lot of reason for conserving water, including cost of treatment and delivery.” She also pointed out that the work the board has done indicates that the weather we’ve seen this year may be a sign of what’s to come. “The work we’ve done on climate change suggests we’re going to have more wet years and more dry years and we have to prepare for both,” she said. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

Police take on hotel blaze investigation

Bringing the voters under the ‘blue tent’

Kathy Michaels

STAFF REPORTER

Mounties have yet to catch the firebug who sparked flames on two floors of the Coast Capri Hotel, but they’re sifting through a “mountain of information” to get there. “Our general investigation section has been hard at work and we will continue to look over surveillance video and talk to witnesses,” said Const. Kris Clark, noting that he’s loath to label the fire an arson, just yet. “There’s a lot of information. There’s surveillance video and you have to consider there were hundreds of guests of the hotel, and we have to sift through all of them to see if there’s any relevant information. It’s not like a fight in the backyard where there are three people.” In total, more than 380 guests had to be evacuated from the hotel from the fire that broke out sometime after 1: 30 a.m. Saturday. Only one injury—to a firefighter—was reported. Coast Capri staff have said the damage will cost in excess of $100,000 to repair, and much of it was caused by water used to fight the flames, as well as by the smoke. The third and fourth floors of the hotel’s tower are expected to re-open later this week and the fifth floor a short time later. The six and seventh floors, where the fires started, will take longer as they sustained the most damage. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Political parties, especially coalitions, like to use the analogy of being a big tent when appealing to members of other parties to join them. The standard line is there’s room in their tent for all. Well, it may not be big, but the Central Okanagan’s three Liberal MLAs now have their own tent and they plan to use it make themselves more accessible at events through out the community. Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country), Steve Thomson (KelownaMission) and Ben Stewart (Westside-Kelowna) all pitched in with funds from their respective office budgets to buy the tent that they plan to share and set up at events throughout Kelowna, Lake Country, West Kelowna and Peachland from now on in

a bid to meet constituents and help anyone looking for information from government. “We felt it was a way of inviting people to come talk to us without having them come to the office,” said Letnick. Along with Thomson, Letnick manned the tent last Sunday in Kelowna during the Canada Day celebrations in Waterfront Park. He said the three MLAs, who often describe themselves as working as a team, will take turns using the tent and set it up at events in their respective ridings throughout the year. In addition to the MLAs, members of their office staffs will also be on hand to provide constituents with information and help. Letnick said because the effort is being paid for with taxpayer dollars, none of the information provided will be partisan,

Grant to assist city’s homeless Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s frontline workers banded together and managed to get $1.2 million from the federal government to help the area’s homeless population get on their feet over the next two years. “Basically, with this money the focus we have is to engage people who have the most challenges physically and emotionally,” said Christene Walsh, of the Regional District of Central Okanagan—one of the members of the Kelowna Community Advisory Board on Homelessness that applied for funds from the federal government’s Homelessness Partnering Strategy. “These are the people who utilize the highest level of services and can be the hardest to engage—this money is going to be used for the most complex people.” Once those people have been engaged, some of those dollars will be earmarked for providing housing or the services that will help someone on the brink of homelessness, stay afloat. Funds will also be used to create a database that will catalogue what services and resources are available so frontline workers are most effective. “That will help get information to the people who need it,” Walsh said. Kelowna’s homelessness prob-

lem has been long lamented, which is why the city’s community groups have benefitted from federal funding in various forms for over 12 years. At last count in 2009—which Walsh thinks could still stand today—there were an estimated 625 homeless residents of Kelowna. Many of those, however, are considered “hidden homeless” as they’re not street people. They’re without their own address, couch surfing and piecemealing together what they need to survive. Those are the ones that may be tapping into services at the Gospel Mission, which is one of the beneficiaries of federal funding. With the recession taking a bite out of the financial stability of many, Randy Benson at the mission has seen significant changes. “From the shelter point of view, our numbers have remained the same, which I think that in part is credited to the fact we’re able to house more people,” he said. There are several housing projects constructed in recent years have created space for hundreds of people who would otherwise be homeless, he explained. There are also more case workers in the city helping those who have fallen through the cracks get on their feet. “We’ve been making good strides,” he said. “That said, we’ve

seen an increase in the number of people needing food. Even though people are getting housed, the challenge is to get through the other months, with other things.” With that in mind, the mission will be using its allocation of funds for outreach work, but each of the seven community partners involved are working on a different leg of the problem. Among those getting funding are the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society, Kelowna Gospel Mission, Kelowna Community Resources, Canadian Mental Health Association, John Howard Society of the Central and South Okanagan, Okanagan Boys & Girls Clubs, and Inn from the Cold . These community partners are receiving a total of $227,300 (one Aboriginal Homelessness agreement at $49,283 and six Designated Communities agreements at $178,017). In addition, on June 4 the Central Okanagan Foundation received approval to be the Community Entity under the HPS’s new Community Entity Model. Over the next two years, the Central Okanagan Foundation will distribute HPS funding of $981,174 to local organizations for the development of housing and support services. This represents $779,948 in Designated Communities funding and $201,266 in Aboriginal Homelessness funding.

Bernard Avenue construction project set to start this fall Contract from A4 Irani said the “fine details” of the construction schedule will now be worked out with CGL, and the company will be offered the opportunity to do some preliminary work at the intersection of Bernard Avenue and Richter Street, which is technically just outside of the revitalization project area. One of the challenges will be putting the road back in drivable condition following the first two phases of the work, and also losing the prime construction months of July and August next year. The city said four “prequalified” tenders were received for the construction contract, with CGL’s bid the most competitive. “The next steps will see the construction schedule finalized with the contractor, including the traffic management plan and the other details the business community is interested in knowing,” said Bill Berry, Kelowna director of design and construction services. “It’s a priority for us to keep businesses and residents informed as we move forward in delivering this significant revitalization project.” Some businesses are still concerned about the effect the work will have on their financial bottom lines over the next few years despite many public meetings and discussions with the city over the last 18 months. While some agree with the multi-phased approach, others lobbied to

have the work done in one sustained period, arguing it was better to get it over and done with, rather than drag it out. Still others wanted the work fasttracked and work done during the winter, a move the city said would add millions of dollars to the cost. Some business owners feel the city should provide financial compensation for lost trade, a call the city has rejected. Meanwhile, the city also announced that one of its own communications officers, Kelly Kay, will serve as the business liaison for the project, to support local businesses during the construction work. Kay, who joined the city’s communications team in the spring, is described as a public relations practitioner with a journalism degree who used to work for one of the largest law firms in Saskatoon and has also operated her own small business. Last year, the city hired the communications firm that handled the communications plan for Banff when it launched a revitalization project for its very busy main street a few years ago. The Kelowna communications plan is expected to keep the public, and area merchants, aware of what is happening and when different aspects of the work will be done. The city has said it will provide ongoing updates through the media and on its own website once the construction gets underway.

Respect the wrath of Mother Nature

he allure of the Fraser River is a powerful thing, especially as it approaches levels not seen here in 40 years. But it can also be dangerous. Both city and provincial officials are urging residents to stay away from the swollen rivers. And with good reason. We’ve already seen one death in B.C. Edward Posnikoff, 72, was standing on a bridge that was

swept away near his home in the Crescent Valley near Nelson a week ago. That tragedy prompted Chris Duffy of Emergency Management B.C. to highlight the danger of high river levels, unstable banks and debris. He’s warning people to stay clear of streams and rivers. His concern echoes what authorities have been saying all last week. The river banks are no place for curious onlookers.

Said emergency co-ordinator Jim MacDonald: “What looks like stable ground, may not in fact be stable. “When our staff are required to work on dicey ground like that they are wearing life jackets. That’s how seriously we take it.” Even under normal conditions a river can be a dangerous place. Nearly every year there are reports of fishermen being swept away after slipping on the muddy banks.

With the Fraser running as fast as it is, one mistake could be fatal. True, the Fraser River is an awesome sight right now. And even though water levels have stabilized and even receded slightly, the currents are still swift and immensely powerful. The river needs to be treated with respect. Getting a closer look is not worth a lost life. – Black Press

Rough seas ahead predicted for troubled BC Ferries Corp.

C Ferries has begun its summer schedule, ramping up sailings for the vacation season that is crucial to the fleet’s bottom line. It’s been rough sailing for BC Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its financial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the former corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well. In the fiscal year that ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent and walk-on passengers were down 2.8 per cent. As a result, BC

Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for this year as well. The spring Coast Saver sale has just ended. That’s a 37-per-cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95. I asked BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last week how the sale went. He didn’t have final figures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traffic was

VICTORIA “marginal.” It’s the second VIEWS year that the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of Tom generating additional Fletcher trips, Corrigan said the main effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends. One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story. Here’s another problem: Stu-

dent traffic on the ferries was down by a third this spring, because teachers cancelled field trips as part of their lengthy work-to-rule campaign. The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive salaries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo chambers. Of course, taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry

Commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels as well as regulate fares. Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings. This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passenger-only service?

Displaced guest misses wedding ceremony lect our smoky belongings. The front desk crew graciously put us up in a new hotel and apologized for the mayhem. Sadly, we were in town for a wedding and now had no clothes whatsoever that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not ruined by the smoke. We had to do a

quick shopping trip to the mall to get a new suit and dress, as well as clothes to wear until we could get ours cleaned. We had to throw out our luggage as the smell was noxious and completely embedded in every fiber of the bags. Due to all of this, we

missed the ceremony but were able to make it to the reception. My husband sat at a local laundromat laundering our clothes while I sat in a stylistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair getting my hair done. The stylist told me (her theory of events at the hotel before the fire). I will definitely say

that if it turns out that the selfish acts of one of those kids caused my husband and I to have to miss the ceremony of our good friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wedding, I will be appalled and disgusted. Rhonda Cain, Alberta

No alarm bells rang on fourth floor on night of fire, says Coast Capri hotel guest To the editor: Re: Kelowna Hotel Fires Now A Police Investigation (www.kelownacapnews.com July 2) For the record all was not as organized as set out in these stories. We were in room 449 of this hotel the night of the fire. My daughter, her husband and two youngsters were with us. We went to bed at 10:30 p.m. My husband woke to use the wash-

room and woke me up as he smelled smoke. I too smelled smoke. I checked the bathroom where there was a heat lamp, but the smoke odor was coming from the air conditioning unit. I ran to the door to the hallway and discovered thick smoke. I yelled that the hotel was on fire and we tossed our belongings in the suitcases and found the fire stairs to exit.

The stairwell had dirty water running from under doors. There was no fire alarm sounding in the wing in which our room was in. There were no smoke detectors in the room. My husband pulled the fire alarms on the way to the stairs as we headed for the exit. They still didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ring. So no, all was not as rosy as is being painted by the hotel staff.

The male staff member at the door did nothing when I advised him that no fire alarms were sounding by our room and there might be people up there still. The RCMP officer did nothing when I said the fire alarm was not sounding outside our room and that there may be others up on the fourth. We were quite shocked when we entered the parking lot to find it

full of people. We were all very angry that we had not been wakened by an alarm or fire department personnel. What would have happened if my husband had not gotten up? The alarms on that floor definitely need updating. Gary and Sylvia Dionne, Prince George

But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes. FortisBC has offered an $11-million incentive for conversion of

marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another vessel would be needed in the meantime.

able and steel was used for the upper structure strong enough to support the extra floor added to the pile foundations. When Vancouver General Hospital was in the throes of upgrading, the basement and first floor were built. The provincial government gave approval of the upper floors two floors at a time. This was objected to by me because of cost. My recommendation was to build the total tower under the then current building code; finish the second and third floors

only; and complete the remaining floors as money became available. This is what was done and within five years the unfinished floors had been finished. Similar things occurred at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Royal Columbian. My total hospital experiences stretch over many years and included the present day Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital which is why I make suggestion on various points to spend the funds wisely.

Ten steps on how to get the most out of psychiatric care I

t’s not easy to get an appointment to see a psychiatrist. With current shortages, patients are often faced with a wait time of many months, which can feel like a very long time when struggling with a mental health issue. Here are a few simple tips that will help you get the most from your psychiatrist and will also make it easier for your psychiatrist to help you. 1. Be able and will-

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer ing to talk openly about the problem or issue for which you’re seeking advice. As you may have guessed, your doctor cannot be expected to read

your mind. If you truly want help, you have to be willing to talk. 2. Bring a list with the names and doses of all current medications. This information is very important to get an accurate picture of your medical history and is essential before your psychiatrist can recommend an action plan going forward. 3. Bring a list of medications and other therapies you have already

tried. For the same reasons as above, it is very helpful to know what treatments you may have tried and why they were discontinued. 4. Find out if anyone else among your biological relatives has a psychiatric condition including suicide and drug abuse. Most psychiatric conditions do have a strong genetic component and it helps to know a family history. 5. Bring relevant past

records if possible or know where these can be obtained. Again, the more complete a picture you are able to provide, the more accurately your psychiatrist will be able to diagnose and recommend next steps. If you don’t have your medical records, it is still helpful to provide the names of previous doctors where information could be found. 6. If you have had lab

work done (eg: blood, urine, brain scans etc.), bring the results or have your doctor forward them to the psychiatrist. 7. Complete any preinterview questionnaires. Some psychiatrists will ask you to complete detailed questionnaires prior to your first interview. Although they might seem lengthy, these provide important background information and help to give an idea of potential issues at the outset of a working relationship. 8. Be prepared to stop smoking cannabis, drinking excessively or using other non-prescription drugs. If you are serious about receiving treatment for a mental health issue, drug and alcohol abuse are only going to be barriers for you. If you’re not willing to stop, it will be difficult for a psychiatrist to help you. 9. Be prepared to meet

without children, spouses, friends, other counselors or lawyers in the room. In order for an effective doctor/patient relationship to be built, there needs to be an atmosphere of calm and trust without interruptions. Psychiatric interviews often include discussion of topics that are very personal and can be inappropriate for children or friends. If you are interested in family or couples therapy, this should be discussed with your psychiatrist ahead of time. 10. Be sure to arrive for your appointment on time. Aside from being courteous, arriving on time will help ensure you receive your full interview in an unhurried manner.

Come on out and get your hands dirty! Kids are invited to join Linda McVeigh (Davison) to learn what it’s like to be a farmer for a day. The kids will meet 3 generations of working farmers as they experience a day of hands-on learning and fun. New this year, our ﬁrst ever “Farmer for a Day” program was offered early in the season to kids seeking a fun, interactive, and authentic farm experience and was a resounding success. We are thrilled to announce four additional dates for our tremendously popular “Farmer for a Day ” program. “Our summer programs will reﬂect the seasonal activities on the farm,” explains Linda McVeigh, the program facilitator. “Kids will be kept busy exploring the crops in various stages of growth, learning about

irrigation, and harvesting in-season produce.” The day will start with a visit to the barns and animals, followed by a tour of the farm facilities including the apple peeling machines and the juicing room. Walking along the edges of the farm will provide kids a chance to observe animal trails, beehives, and learn to identify some of the natural vegetation common to the area. After lunch, kids will take a ride on our Johnny Popper tractor-train through the ﬁelds and plantings, where the eager farmers-in-training will learn about irrigation techniques and the process of harvesting under the watchful eye of Farmer Tom. Because farm life can’t be all work and no play, the day will be rounded out with a playtime in the

ON YOUR MARK… GET SET… GO!

Crazy Cow Kid’s Corral, a great farm-themed play area. Kids will also be served real fruit ice cream as a special treat for all their hard work at the farm. Each child attending the program in July and August will harvest fruit and vegetables to take home to their families. “Many children haven’t experienced a vegetable garden in the back yard,” says Linda. “To pick produce fresh from the vine or branch connects us to our food in such a basic way.” “Farmer for a Day” is designed for children ages 5-8, and will be held at Davison Orchards this summer on July 11th, 25th, August 8th, and 22nd from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Registration is $50 /day which includes lunch and snacks.

In 1965, Rev. Kornalewski died suddenly and the family went ahead with another building, the Joseph Benjamin Residence, to hon-

our his memory. Over the years, many upgrades have been made to Still Waters eventually leading to the original building replaced by Village at Mill Creek. The new building was built in phases; Joseph Benjamin Residence (2004, 50 suites); Chandler Residence (2007, 96 beds) and lastly Sutherland Residence (2008, 46 suites). The neat thing is that Kornalewski’s wife, Adele Northan, is presently living in Sutherland Residence. Congrats to millwright Henry Kohout and operators Mike Humes and Mark Casler, who each brought home trophies from operator challenge events at the B.C. Wastewater Association’s annual conference. The Kelowna Airport’s fire chief Neil Booth is celebrating over 30 years of service.

Inspired to follow road to better health Making better group decisions H ‘‘ M

ealth and fitness is riding a wave of serious popularity as more people of all ages and backgrounds look at how they could lead healthier lives. Our nation has identified in study after study that many Canadians are not regularly active. Plus, our nutritional body intake leaves us with a roller coaster ride toward questionable longevity. The good news is that Canadians are noticing the need for healthier lifestyles and turning to health and fitness to bring us back to reality. New entrepreneur minded people have taken advantage of this rapidly growing demand to promote health-consciousness in our communities. I am pleased this week to present to you a story of one such person who passionately proclaims: “If I can, you can too…” Let’s visit with Ryan Brown, one of Okanagan’s elite personal trainers through his IdolFit venture and examine how he blended his vision to help humanity get on the

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young fitness and health track. Brown was born into a non-business family with one sister to share his vision of the future. He told me he had embraced a dream early on to be directly involved in the health industry. During the 1998 to 2002 academic years at Medicine Hat College, he spent considerable time working in the recreation centre atmosphere also dabbling in the personal fitness regime. Ironically, for someone who has risen to the fitness industry level he has attained, Brown let his guard down over these years and ballooned to 270 lbs while arriving at the milestone of his life for an entrepreneurial plateau—becoming genuinely entrepreneurial in his mindset. I know each of us has

heard of and, in some miraculous cases, experienced or witnessed overwhelming life changes. I am so very happy to advise that Ryan Brown has dropped, with his new life fitness commitment, from 270 to 165 lbs. Wow! Are we jealous? This incredible personal mindset change in Brown transformed him into a new unique person with an altered attitude about his health, his fitness and his life. So much so, that in short order, he obtained a gold medal in Canadian powerlifting, quite an amazing accomplishment by itself. Over a five year period from 1998 to 2002, while Brown obtained his degree at Medicine Hat College, he began to dabble in providing personal fitness training, consulting and coaching to a wide range of clients. During that time, he met and fell in love with his sweetheart and got married in 2001. They moved to Kelowna in 2002 to pursue the Okanagan lifestyle. Once here, Brown

went back to college for an additional educational supplement in audio engineering while continuing part-time personal training. The entrepreneur, he told me, was burning inside him as Brown was finding it very difficult to remove himself from the joyful experiences he was enduring helping others explore their personal changes in health and fitness. When Brown completed his audio engineering program in 2004, he realized that his future truly lent itself to contributing to making a difference in people’s lives inspiring them to take health and fitness seriously. During 2006 and 2007, Brown arrived at a pivotal point in his life— he became a full-time personal trainer. He has since helped thousands of people strive to reach their optimum fit-

ness levels. With his earlier technical background, Brown had learned the skills to begin preparing databases, trade marking names and zeroing in on an online fitness concept model that would allow you and I to perform sophisticated fitness routines in the privacy of our homes, offices, beachfronts, something relatively unheard of back then. What is also very exciting about Brown’s new online fitness model is that you and I can obtain instant messaging with the health instructors who can advise us on the effectiveness of the exercise we have just performed. All of this novelty for merely $1/day, and you and I can actually make some residual cash engaging others to join in with this online fitness model. I am so pleased to present this online model and encourage everyone to explore Ryan Brown’s fitness tool at IdolFitConnect.com which was officially launched on June 1, for the global market to embrace. You can be assured that here is a fitness entrepreneur who not only knows exactly what he is doing, but is totally committed to our health and happiness.

aking personal decisions can be challenging and other times, it seems remarkably easy. Each of us has a natural approach for working our way towards a final decision on something, whether or not we are consciously aware of it. Whatever road we take to get to a final decision, for everyone it will ultimately come down to either the head or the heart winning out. Things get really interesting in the workplace, when groups (committees for example) are required to make decisions together. There will always be a mix of styles in the group and the challenge is to find common ground. It is worth the effort to do so because the result will be better quality decisions and more buy-in for their implementation. Some people are just more logical when they make decisions. Their contribution to group decisions is their natural ability to objectively analyze options. This may include a critique of past practice and/or potential flaws in a new idea. Once they have looked at all the pros and cons they will decide based on what makes the most sense (to them). In contrast other individuals will give much more weight to how a decision will affect people, both immediately and in the long term. Equally important will be how a particular decision fits with their personal values and beliefs. If those are violated or

Laurie Mills ignored, they may withhold support for the decision (either openly or behind the scenes). While logical types may consider this latter approach to be overly emotional, taking the human impact into account is simply the other side of the decision-making coin. The ideal is to find a balanced approach that draws on the strengths of both sides—the head and the heart. If you are reading this and wondering, what is the point here? Head, heart, whatever—let’s just make a decision and move on because we have work to do. Sure, sometimes that strategy works just fine. It doesn’t, however, work every time. If decisions get made too quickly, there is a risk that key information will be missed or people will be negatively impacted. That can lead to unpleasant backlash and ineffective action plans, sometimes at great cost to an organization. Sometimes too, group decisions are not really that at all. It could be that the stronger personalities in a group always seem to get their way. When that happens regularly, the rest of the group may become apathetic about the decision or resist buying into it if they disagree or feel bullied. It takes real skill to lead a group through a process that will generate great ideas and smart decisions. It involves facilitating open discussion, working through points of disagreement, generating viable options and getting agreement on a final decision. Making quality decisions as a group takes a lot of practice to get it right. That’s OK because trial and error can be a great teacher. It’s the willingness to learn from our mistakes that matters.

Future stars at Kelowna tourney Kelowna Falcons host Corvallis Knights Friday Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Since playing in his first competitive match at age 11, Pavel Krainik hasn’t wavered from his dream one iota. Playing tennis for a living at the game’s highest level—like his idol Roger Federer—remains the 19-year-old Canadian’s ultimate goal. Krainik, from Toronto, is among 55 players who travelled to Kelowna this week for the ITF Kelowna Futures Tennis Tournament. The $15,000 event at the Parkinson Rec Centre courts is an opportunity for singles and doubles players—both professional and NCAA Div. 1—to earn valuable points towards one day competing on the ATP tour. Krainik, who is currently ranked 938th in the world, says tour stops such as the one in Kelowna is a vital part of the process in reaching the game’s top level. “You have to be able to get past stages like this to play in big tournaments like the (World Tour) Masters, the ATP and ultimately, the Grand Slams,” said Krainik, the fifthranked player in singles at the Kelowna tournament. “Everybody at these tournaments knows how to play and everybody’s hungry to win. This is a necessary step all the best players in the world have had to take before, so being successful at this level is important.” With a win in Kelowna, a player of Krainik’s status could move up anywhere from 200 to 300 spots in the rankings, another indication of the value of winning on tennis’ secondary circuits. Most of the players this week are ranked between No. 200 and No, 1,200 in the world. As for the skill and level of competition at a Futures events, tournament organizer Joachim Nierfeld said fans are witnessing a quality of tennis never seen before in Kelowna. “This is world class tennis, these kids coming here are usually between 18 and 23 and are trying to make it to the next

The Kelowna Falcons will kick off a six-game West Coast League home stand Friday night against the Corvallis Knights. First pitch at Elks Stadium is 6:35 p.m. The Falcons and Knights will meet again Saturday for a doubleheader, with the opener set to go at 5:05 p.m. On Monday, Kelowna will open a three-game series against the Klamath Falls Gems.

Game time each night is 6:35 p.m. The Gems swept the Falcons last week in a three-game series in Klamath Falls. Kelowna closed out a three-game set Wednesday night in Bend, Ore. against the Elks. A final score was not available at deadline. On Tuesday night, the Falcons (13-10) watched their losing streak reach five games with an 8-3

loss in Bend. After a solid five innings of work from starter Phil Maton—six hits and two runs allowed—the Falcons held a 3-2 lead. But the Kelowna bullpen was touched up for six runs and seven hits in the sixth inning as the Elks pulled ahead to stay. Kyle Pearson had two hits for Kelowna and continues to lead the team in hitting with a .421 average and 21 RBIs.

They’re hitting it just as hard, just not as often between the lines as the top players do.” If all goes as planned for Nierfeld and the organizing committee, the Futures Tournament will become an annual event in the Okanagan. Both the ITF and Tennis Canada would like a three-year commitment from Kelowna and Nierfeld would like to oblige, both for the benefit of local tennis community and the growth of the sport in general. “The real meaning for us is to grow tennis and

create an awareness of how great the sport is,” said Nierfeld, who has had help from 65 volunteers in staging the event. “It’s a healthy sport for kids for adults for seniors, a sport a four-year-old can play and a 90-year-old can play. It’s a very inexpensive sport, so the goal is really to grow the sport.” The Kelowna Futures Tennis Tournament is a true international event with athletes competing from several countries including Canada, the U.S, Germany, Argentina, Israel, Trinidad, South Africa and South Africa. The top singles seed heading into the tournament was Montreal’s Erik Chvojka. Ranked 232nd in the world, Chvojka was one set away from qualifying for Wimbledon this year, before making the trip to Kelowna.

Also making the stop in Kelowna is Slovakian Dominik Hrbaty, a doubles finalist at the French Open in 2005. The singles quarterfinals will be played on Friday, the semifinals on Saturday at 2 p.m., and the final on Sunday beginning at 1 p.m. Adult passes for Friday and Saturday are $10 each day, and $15 for Sunday. Youth passes (under 18) are $5 for Friday and Saturday, and $8 on Sunday. Tickets are available at the Harvest Golf Club, Cedar Creek Winery, NuFloors, the Mission and Lakeview Heights Tennis Clubs, and Global Fitness.

One of their biggest rivals will provide the opposition as the Kelowna Rockets open the 2012-13 Western Hockey League regular season with a home-and-home set on the third weekend of September. The Rockets will battle the Blazers in Kamloops on Friday, Sept. 21, then the teams will meet for a rematch on Saturday, Sept. 22 at Prospera Place. The Rockets’ home opener is the only game the team will play at home in September as the team will head for two games in Portland to close out the month. In October the Rockets will continue to play more games away from home with eight road contests versus just four at home. November features eight home games and four on the road before the Rockets head out on its usual December road trip to Alberta, closing its preChristmas schedule Dec. 16 in Calgary. Kelowna fans will have two chances to see the home team in late December and early January as Kelowna hosts Everett on Dec. 30 and Victoria on Jan. 2 but will not play on New Years Day as it has in the past few years. The team closes out the WHL regular season with a home and home set with the Vancouver Giants: March 15 in Vancouver and March 16 in Kelowna.

Swimmers take to the open waters Along with the running of the 30th annual Apple Triathlon in August this year, the Okanagan Masters Swim Club (OMSC) will once again be hosting the FINA accredited Kelowna Apple Open Water Swim Invitational in the pristine waters of Okanagan Lake as part of the triathlon weekend. The event continues to grow with the masters swim club hosting a firstclass event and organizers

The swim events take place on August 17 and 18. In addition to the 1.5 kilometer and 5 kilometer events, a 500 meter event

has been introduced to attract younger competitors and others who may be new to open water swimming. One of the feature competitors from out of town who will be taking part are Calgary’s golden swim couple, Glenn and Jeanne Carlsen, back for another year.

A: The guys: it was a good laugh last season playing with them, especially because we went all the way to win the championship. Q: What’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you in a soccer match? A: One time, a goalkeeper was about to kick the ball out and I ran past as he was about to take the kick and headed it out of his hands. Everyone just stopped, but the ref said “play on” so I just passed it in the net and scored. Q: Anything else you’d like to say? A: I just want to go to bed, to be honest—I’m a bit jet-lagged.

Our thanks to Brian King!

Congratulations to Calvin! On Saturday, May 29th, Canadian Tire Kelowna held a fundraiser in the parking lot, raising money and awareness for Jumpstart, a charitable program that helps kids in ¿nancial need participate in sports and recreation such as soccer, dance, hockey and swimming. During the fundraiser, Canadian Tire rafÀed a bike and the lucky winner, Brian King, decided to re-donate the bike! We were lucky to ¿nd Calvin, a student from Springvalley Middle School, who was given the bike after his was recently stolen. Calvin is very excited to start his summer vacation with his new bike!

out of the Calgary Masters Swim Club, husband Glenn took the three kilometer event in the 55 to 59 age group. “Swimming in the ocean is very different than swimming in the lake,” said Jeanne. “There was a bit of a chop which made it difficult to sight throughout the race. Swimming in the lake in Kelowna is a pleasure.” For the World Masters Championships open water swim there were so

many entries that more than 2,300 participants were spread over 45 heats in two days to swim the threekilometer long track in the Adriatic Sea. Okanagan Lake promises a calmer swim at Tugboat Beach.

▼ CHALLENGE SOCCER

Marrs member in long standing Challenge from A18 Kyle Bilinski scored twice each to lead the alumni team to a 6-4 victory. Marrs, who played from 1994 to 2008, is the longest standing Challenge member of all time. Other alumni members from as far back as the early 1990s, and as recent as 2010, suited up for the game. Another notable alumni player was Ian Bridge, a member of Canada’s national team for the World Cup in Mexico in 1986. Bridge has coached inter-

nationally at various levels and was a former player in Europe. The annual game— in the name of Challenge founder Eric Tasker—featured a dinner and silent auction, with funds raised

going to pay for team expenses. Meanwhile, the 2012 Challenge return to PCSL action this weekend with two games on the road. On Saturday, the Challenge visits Victoria United,

before taking on Langley Athletic on Sunday afternoon. The Challenge (2-91) picked up their second win of the season last weekend, 1-0 by default over PoCo City FC.

B.C. Sailing Champs good for COSA

Members of the Central Okanagan Sailing Association (COSA) race team were in top form in reaching the podium at the B.C. Sailing Championships last weekend on Nicola Lake near Merritt. After two days of heavy wind racing, with gusts sometimes exceeding 30 knots (55 km/h), the COSA team battled sailors from around the Pacific Northwest, most of whom had considerably more experience in high wind sailing. Despite the difficult conditions, COSA team members earned top finishes in several divisions. Robbie Stevens, who finished second at the B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last year, had to settle for third, as teammate Thomas Hardy out-sailed a majority of the competitive Laser fleet to finish second this year. Hardy and Stevens traded races for much of the regatta, but could not keep up to first place fin-

isher, and former Olympic team member, Kevin Grierson of Vancouver. The Radial fleet was led by Mexican Olympic sailing team hopeful, Natalie Montemayor, who trains out of Vancouver. Top Kelowna finishes came from COSA Race Team members, Adam Sorensen in sixth and Elizabeth Hardy in 11th place. Hardy also earned recognition as being the third fastest female at the regatta, while Sorensen was the fourth fastest male in the Radial division. The Optimist fleet was scattered around the lake in the heavy breeze. Despite struggling to successfully complete the courses, and after being swept overboard at least four times, new COSA racer, Sam Carson, was awarded top sailor in the Optimist Green Fleet. Fellow team member, Alex Roberts, also received a few soakings courtesy of some rogue

place finish in the 420 fleet, but repeated swamping of their sailboat led to a failure in their starboard mast stay, forcing them out of the event early. Remarkably, the pair was able to sail their boat back to shore in the stormy conditions without causing any further damage to the boat or themselves. With the 2012 BC Summer Games around the corner, the top finishes by the COSA Racers bodes well for Kelowna. B.C. Championship medalists Thomas Hardy, Elizabeth Hardy, and Alex Roberts will team with additional COSA Team Member, Devin Araujo, to represent the region under the coaching guidance of COSA Sailing Director Devin Rubadeau. This will be the Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second B.C. Games for Sailing, and Rubadeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th. For more about sailing in Kelowna, call COSA at 250-764-2203.

Invitation to McCartney school set aside to perform Born in Chiang Mai, raised on classical piano, Jenie Thai is breaking into the Canadian music scene with gritty blues Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

If adventure can flow through the veins like music through the fingers on a keyboard, Jenie Thai, born in Chiang Mai, was birthed with the call of the wild. The young Edmontonian hasn’t even released a full-length album yet, but her song, Lady Flower, from her 2011 EP of the same name, won an honourable mention in The International Songwriter’s Competition, plucked from a field of 16,000 entrants. Considered by the New York Times critics to be the top songwriting competition in the world, it’s judged by celebrities like Tegan and Sara, bluesman James Cotton (who played with Muddy Waters), Spanish singer/songwriter and Latin Grammy Award winner Alejandro Sanz and the gravel-voiced Tom Waits. “I’m a huge, huge, huge Tom Waits fan. So I just entered to see if I could get him to hear my music,” she said. “I even

called to see if he would be the one judging it, but they said they couldn’t release that information.” Spunky, but not one bit punky, this classically trained pianist took her Royal Conservatory training, for which she received the highest marks in the country the year she completed, and went straight into Grant MacEwan University to study jazz and contemporary music. She landed a spot in The Paul McCartney School of Music after graduation, but the blues beast growing within just couldn’t be tamed. “I wanted to play music as a full-time musician, not study music,” she explained, and never made it to The Beatles academy. Instead she managed a “lickety splickly” Tom Waits-style adventure out onto the open road with the release of that first EP at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. After hearing about the organization Home Routes (www.homeroutes.ca), which organizes house concerts in communities across North Ame-

CONTRIBUTED

CANADIAN KID Jenie Thai to drive the blues home in Kelowna. rica for musicians, she set up her own couch tour— Home Routes was booked through 2014—using the aptly named CouchSurfing (www.couchsurfing. org), a website for general travellers. As such, Jenie Thai

played a gig in a Kelowna living room last year, but her trip to the Minstrel Café on Monday, July 9 will be the first time she showcases her bluesy, jazzy, funk music in an actual Central Okanagan venue. And she couldn’t be

happier about it. Speaking to the Capital News via cell en route from Banff, one could hear the off-beat staccato excitement that peppers her lyrics ringing through the phone. Asked to describe her show, she

answered with the frank delivery of someone who, frankly, knows how to deliver. “High energy,” she said. And one listen to her songs proves the point. Three months into her mother’s pregnancy with

her—her first pregnancy—Jenie’s father decided the couple should travel through India. Her mother became so sick she weighed less at six months pregnant than when Jenie was conceived. This is how Jenie, who does not disclose her real name, came into the world in Thailand, an area her parents figured safe enough for her to be born. It doesn’t sound like there was any random Italian detours along the way, but one can hear the “allegro, allegro, allegro” pounding in this young woman’s soul as she kicks her way through the long piano runs of her first songs: Monkey, Sedusa, It’s Only You (That I Want) and Stop. Who knows where the wild things go when unleashed to the power of creativity, but for now Jenie Thai comes to Kelowna’s front door. Jenie Thai plays the Minstrel Café this Monday, July 9, 8 p.m. There is a $5 cover charge. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

‘80s music icons hit the road Muralists get busy in Kelowna City Park The rock’n roll revival tour that will feature Journey, Pat Benetar and Loverboy tentatively will include a tour stop Saturday, Dec. 1, at Prospera Place in Kelowna. While the Kelowna tour date is part of the tour’s promotional announcement, negotiations with Prospera Place have not yet been finalized. For Loverboy, the tour will also offer the band a chance to promote a new album with three new songs and re-recordings of some of their classic past hits such as Turn Me Loose, Working For

The Weekend and Lovin’ Every Minute Of It. Benetar has been touring for years with her band on the club circuit, featuring her husband guitarist Neil Giraldo. The current edition of Journey features long-time band members Ross Valory, Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain, joined by Arnel Pineda and Deen Castronovo. Missing from the original lineup is singer Steve Perry and drummer Steve Smith. No date has been announced yet for tickets to go on sale.

The Kelowna Art Gallery has enlisted the talent of 12 gifted local youth to create a new mural for City Park this weekend. Working under the supervision of two dynamic mural artists from Vancouver, David and Jorden Doody, the group will paint the mural on the lake-side (west-facing) wall of an existing building on Hot Sands Beach.

Drawing inspiration from the Kelowna Art Gallery’s new exhibition Bearing Witness, the work will have a multicultural theme, featuring dynamic imagery that is representative of the participants’ cultures. The mural will replace the existing artwork that currently adorns the building, created by children in 2007. This art project as it

happens on Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This art project is a partnership between the Kelowna Art Gallery and the City of Kelowna’s Park Services Department, and is made possible through funding provided by Kelowna Community Resources, and with the generous dona-

tion of all paint provided by Golden Paints. The exhibition Bearing Witness is on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery through Aug. 19, and is organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery, with the generous support of The Killy Foundation and Odlum Brown Limited.

Opening this past Monday, the business it has already done indicates that it could be on par with its predecessors. And considering it is more-orless a remake of the ori-

THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2012 KELOWNA COMMUNITY THEATRE

slinger with some variation to both the comic book story and the first movie. In this one, Gwen Stacy (Stone) is his love interest and his nemesis is The Lizard (Rhys Ifans). It happened for the Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber and now there is a 3D musical documentary about Katy Perry. Katy Perry: Part of Me is a backstage pass, front row seat and intimate look at the fun, glamorous, heartbreaking, inspiring, crazy, magical, passionate and honest mad diary of Katy. This one looks like it will appeal to the fans, but also for fans of celebrity culture as it sounds like it gives good insight to her life under the bright lights. One man who does not shy away from the spotlight of scrutiny is Oliver Stone. Every one of his films seem to cause controversy, whether warranted or not. In Savages he takes on the illegal drug trade. Kelowna’s Taylor Kitch (who seems to be in everything these days) stars as a Laguna Beach entrepreneur who, along with his best friend, run a lucrative, home-grown industry raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share

a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Blake Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town until the Mexican Baja j cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. The merciless head of the cartel, Elena (Salma Hayek) and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends and with the help of a sleazy DEA agent (John Travolta), the three fight back. Early word is that this is yet another powerful Oliver Stone movie, but like his earlier works, do not expect a nice, light summer flick. And don’t forget that if you missed some movies from earlier this summer, or want to see one of your early favourites again, check out the newly reinvented Capitol Theatre now called the Landmark Encore in West Kelowna. For those of you who live in Kelowna, it is a short drive for a great deal. Go to www. landmarkcinemas.com for more details.

Work underway to restore sockeye salmon to Okanagan

id you know that once upon a time we had sockeye salmon living in Okanagan Lake? With the annual salmon run en route to Osoyoos (they would be half way up the Columbia River now), I sat down with Jon Crofts from Codfathers Seafood Market in Kelowna for a history lesson on this delicious fish and the conservation efforts being made to return its natural habitat. So what happened to the native salmon species in Okanagan Lake? About 100 years ago man began tampering with the river channels, straightening them from their natural, winding routes between the lakes (ie. Penticton Channel). Dams were also built in the south, which set up obvious barriers for the salmon. Unfortunately, the sockeye slowly became blocked from returning home and eventually, the “genetically distinct run that returns to the Okanagan” began ending its journey in Osoyoos Lake. The number of salmon returning a decade ago were down to a few thousand for a few reasons including the fact that Osoyoos Lake is too small and too warm for the smolts (baby salmon) to survive. This staggering drop had conservationists fearing for its extinction. However, he recovery has been gradual over the last few years with numbers last year over 100,000. Now for the good news. Through the conservation work of the Okanagan Nations Alliance (ONA) 500,000 salmon are expected to return this year. The Okanagan Sockeye Reintroduction Program was set up in 1997 under the direction of elders and began work to bring the sockeye salmon back into Okanagan Lake. The ONA has been working on restoring the river channels to their natural state and reopening the path for the salmon. Their mission is to continue this work allowing the salmon population back into Skaha Lake and then hopefully into Okanagan Lake. Can you imagine? One day we may be able to fish for sockeye salmon here. Jon and Anne-Marie

mon conservation, restoration and enhancement in the Okanagan region. The gala dinner and auction will be held on Thursday, Aug. 2 at the Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel in Kelowna. The theme for the dinner is Many Happy Returns and will celebrate the historical return of sockeye salmon to the Okanagan region. All net proceeds raised at this event will be directed towards Pacific salmon conservation, restoration and enhancement in the Okanagan. Tickets are $100 per person, available through the Okanagan Nation Alliance office. For more information, to purchase tickets, or to offer a donation or sponsorship, please contact Tracey Bussanich at 250707-0095 ext. 130 or 250470-7048. Tracey can be reached by email at tbussanich@syilx.org.

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell Crofts have become involved with this conservation work and have signed an agreement with the ONA allowing Jon to process and distribute the salmon in the valley. They are working on setting up a direct sales site in Osoyoos and Jon has trained a new staff of fishmongers to work there. They will also be building a special processing room at the back of Codfathers current shop on Gordon Drive in Kelowna to exclusively handle these local fish. Jon is thrilled to be a part of this exciting project. “This is a really good thing for the Valley,” he said. “It’s not very often that you get to see such a dramatic effect following conservation efforts.” Jon wants “to make sure that the fish are respected, taken care of and managed locally,” and

THE PLAN for the Okanagan is to restore habitat so sockeye salmon can re-establish their run into the valley lakes. comments that this initiative will also “secure local this food source for the Valley for years to come”. Interesting fact: Did you know that the kokanee found in Okanagan Lake are genetically the

same species as the sockeye salmon? Once upon a time, perhaps blocked by ice, some of the salmon became landlocked in Okanagan Lake and could not leave for the run. These

fish then evolved into kokanee. How can you get involved? The Pacific Salmon

Foundation and Okanagan Nation Alliance have joined forces to host a gala dinner and auction to raise funds for Pacific sal-

Take the time to help yourself balance your life

ith a busy work schedule, it seems as though the days morph into weeks and before I know it an entire month can come and go and I wonder what I have done with my time? It feels great to be so passionate and inspired with something, yet at the same time there is an inner yearning for quiet and solitude. I have to be careful not to lose myself in what I call “doing” mode and remember to create time for relaxation and balance. This can be very challenging at times, especially when I am being called so passionately in a clear direction. But if I do not create a sense of balance in my life, it is easy to forget what I am really working for and why it’s so important. I can get caught up in deadlines and the perceived sense of urgency. Yet, ultimately what is more important than listening to that inner voice within me? The voice that says: “Slow down, take time to breathe and remember what connects and sustains you.” When I am in “doing” mode, I can forget what it means to just “be.” My mind races with thoughts of the endless

EMOTIONAL RESCUE

Annie Hopper things that need to be done, the deadlines, the people I need to call, the emails that need to be returned, the speaking engagements that need to be confirmed, etc. When I get caught up in “doing” mode I can forget about this deeper connection to my inner self that comes with slowing down and “being” with life. In some way it would be easy to just stay in “doing” mode and there are times when I delude myself into thinking that I cannot afford to take a break. Yet there is a deeper part of me that knows that in order to refuel I need to take some down time. So, I slap on some sun screen and throw my knapsack in the car and head to the beach. On the drive there I am still thinking about the endless “to do” list and find the traffic irritating and I can get annoyed with other drivers. I finally arrive at the beach and as soon as I am step out of my car it is

like I’ve entered a different world. As my feet slowly sink into the warm, soft sand I can almost hear an inner sigh. With each step my mind starts to let go and I relax more and more into my heart and my body. The beauty of the moment starts to take over and it’s as if a part of me is saying “Ah, here I am… yes, now I remember who I am.” Slowing down and reconnecting to nature has proven to be a consistent reminder for me of who I really am and a great reminder of what’s really important. Within an hour I have gone from feeling irritated to an inner sense of deep gratitude. And all it took was a walk on the beach. It seems so obvious in that moment how important it is to reconnect and take that sacred time for myself. For me, walking at the beach gets me out of my head and into my heart. It fills my inner resources and in these moments I am reminded of the vastness of life and my connection to a source that is much greater than me.

Our latest endeavour this spring was completing 17 quilts which were donated to the Kelowna Women’s’ Shelter. These quilts will go “home” with their clients. What fun we had with our production line type workshop!

As well as our charity work, we have brought in several instructors during the year. We have learned new techniques, one of which was an Open House workshop held during Peachland’s HeArt Festival in February. Members of our guild have also put on several mini workshops. We are an amazing group of ladies, with all levels of expertise, willing to share knowledge with each other and anyone else that would like to listen. We are grateful that we can accomplish worthwhile community projects, enjoy new, and lasting, friendships and have fun while learning. Happy stitching. Susan Driussi is a member of the Pincushion Quilt Guild.

What is a Pincushion Quilt Guild, you might ask. Well, we are a group of thirty women that meet at the Peachland Community Centre on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from September to June. Our mission statement is to promote and encourage interest in the art of quilting to the benefit of its members and the general public and, to provide a venue for our members to work together and provide opportunities for education in the art of quilting. We started planning our charity work in September. In November, we presented our Peachland Ambulance Service group

The Central Okanagan’s newest school will be named after a pioneer in the local Chinese Canadian community. The Central Okanagan Board of Education has approved a plan to name the elementary school it wants to build on McDougall Road in the Rose Valley area of West Kelowna after Jok Mar, who once owned the land that the school will be built on. The plan to build the school is currently in the final stages and is awaiting final approval and funding from the B.C. Ministry of Education. School district secretary-treasurer Larry Paul said the name of the school will be Mar Jok Elementary, using the traditional Chinese presentation of a formal name that puts the family name first, then the given name. Paul said the $15 million school, which will have space for 450 kindergarten to Grade 6 students, would alleviate growing pressure on three other West Kelowna elementary schools—nearby Rose Valley and Hudson Road elementaries as well as Shannon Lake elementary. He said the board of education wants to have the school built in time for the 2014-15 school year. Jok Mar’s name was chosen for the new school because of his long history in the community helping others, both as a businessman and as a volunteer. According to the Okanagan Historical Society Jok Mar arrived in Canada from Canton, China to join his family at age of 11 in 1910. His father, who had worked on the railroad, opened a laundry in Revelstoke a short time later. Jok Mar graduated from school there and because he excelled in English, was frequently hired to translate in court cases involving Chinese immigrants. In 1927, he moved to Kelowna with his brother Fee, and opened the Star Cafe on Water Street. Three years later he built a first class restaurant called the Golden Pheasant at the corner of Ellis Street and Bernard Avenue, at what was then the edge of Kelowna’s Chinatown. The restaurant was popular with both the Chinese and non-Chinese community. During the depression years, he ran a soup kitchen after hours from the back door of the restaurant to help feed the

hungry. He became leader in the Chinese-Candian community, helped start the Chinese Cultural Society and was known as a man who never turned away anyone in need. Jok Mar loved children and passed on his own athletic and gymnastic knowledge by instructing the First Kelowna Boy Scout troop, a group he was instrumental in starting. He also sponsored a local basketball team. In the mid-1950s, Mar and his brother bought 365 acres of land on the west side of Okanagan Lake, land that would one day become part of the District of West Kelowna. While only 60 acres was suitable for farming, Mar loved the land and after he retired in 1968, turned his attention to farming full-time with his daughter May. At a party marking his retirement in 1968, then Kelowna mayor Dick Parkinson praised Mar for his many years of service to the community. He died in 1983 and at his memorial service, attended by many, he was remembered as a man who while deeply committed to the Chinese culture and traditions, but who was a also a proud Canadian. “He was a kind, generous and considerate person, a protective father and a man of high morals,” said well-known former Kelowna city councillor Ben Lee during the eulogy. The new school that will bear his name will, fittingly, be built on land that Mar once owned, said Paul. With a growing need for space at the elementary school level, the school district has identified the Westside as a key area of growth. The district, currently the fifth largest in B.C. has about 21,500 students but expects that to start gowning by 100 to 200 per year soon as youngster join the school system. Paul said there are currently eight portable classrooms is use at Rose Valley Elementary, four at Hudson Road and another two at Shannon Lake, despite the fact that school recently was expanded with an eight-classroom addition. “That’s 350 kids right there who could go to the new school,” said Paul. The district is currently putting together a report for the ministry of education to show exactly how much the school would cost so the ministry can approve funding.

▼ SQUARE DANCING

Westsyde Squares attend U.S. convention Many members of the Westsyde Squares dance club of West Kelowna were counted in the 5,588 dancers registered at the 61st U.S. National Square Dance Convention in Spokane June 27 to 30. The four-day annual event moves around the U.S., so its proximity to B.C. this time presented an opportunity for our province’s dancers to go. While the convention was 99 per cent non-competitive, just for fun and learning, they’ve introduced a small competitive element. Named The Last Square Standing, it’s for those who want to see if they can square dance flawlessly and be the last team on the dance floor with that status. Several Westsyders enjoyed the opening day option of a picnic barbeque at Spokane’s Riverfront Park followed by a musical retrospective in the opera house covering the 1950s through ’80s, featuring the Victoria band The Timebenders. Club president Lynda Bjalek, of Kelowna, was impressed at how well everything was organized. The Spokane Con-

vention Centre was completely utilized over its full length from the opera house to the exhibit halls. Ten dance halls presented not only various programs of square dancing but also round dancing, clog dancing and contra dancing. There were also specialty halls for pre-teens and teens and handicapable dancers. In addition, clinics and workshops helped the dancers either learn a new dance form or brush up on what they currently enjoy. Westsyde dancer Brian Elmer, attended many

of the educational panels and seminars while his wife, Rosalyn Garnett, enjoyed the sewing seminars and the big fashion show. Dustin McGifford, Westsyde Squares’ 20year-old caller attending fall/winter sessions at Okanagan College in Kelowna, was on the program as well as the club’s round dance cuer, Regine Anderson of Penticton. Everyone pays their way to a U.S. National and that includes the professional-level square dance callers who make a living from entertaining. Many such callers

were in attendance to the delight of the dancers. If you’d like to join the fun and laughter on the square dance floor, perhaps even with a goal of attending the National Convention in Oklahoma next year, the Westsyde Squares club is presenting three free new dancer sessions in September to try it out. Mark your calendar starting Thursday, Sept. 6, when the three Monday and Thursday evening sessions come to the Westbank United Church Hall. Come as you are; no

WESTSIDE â&#x2013;ź CANADA DAY

High school choir part of choral festival in Ottawa Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The national Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa this year had an Okanagan presence as a high school choir from Mount Boucherie Secondary represented B.C. at a prestigious choral festival held last weekend at the National Arts Centre. The 25-member strong Mount Boucherie Chamber choir, made up of Grade 10, 11 and 12 students, was participating in the 16th annual Unisong Choral Festival with choirs from across the country. The local choir was invited to participate by organizers of Unisong and is believed to be the first choir from outside of the Lower Mainland invited to represent the province at the festival. Despite the hard work preparing, the months of fundraising and a schedule that saw the students rehearsing two to three times a day while in Ottawa, choir teacher Kim Kleineberg said it was all

worth it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they were up there singing as part of a 400-voice massed choir with the National Arts Centre orchestra, I was just falling apart. It was beautiful.â&#x20AC;? In addition to singing as part of the massed choir, the students also had the limelight to themselves on several occasions, including a recital in the rotunda of the House of Commons, on stage at the NAC earlier on Sunday, prior to the night-time concert that also featured well-known Maritime fiddler Natalie McMaster and noted Canadian classical pianist Alain Lefevbre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The acoustics (in the House of Commons) are incredible,â&#x20AC;? said Kleineberg. The students also sang outside the National Arts Centre, drawing attention from many passers-by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People would just stop, walk over to listen and others would stop their bikes, hop off and listen,â&#x20AC;? she said. The massed choir fea-

tured at the Canada Day evening concert was led by guest conductor Elroy Frisen, a music instructor at the University of Manitoba. But Kleineberg said it was not all work for her students. In addition to the rehearsals, recitals and concert performances in front of a packed house at the NAC, the students got to see several sights in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital, including the House of Commons, the Museum of Nature, and a trip across the Ottawa River to nearby Hull, Quebec, as well as watching the Canada Day fireworks display on Parliament Hill that brought the festivities in Ottawa to a close. But it was the music that brought the choirs together and Kleineberg described the repertoire and the organization of the event as â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredible.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s billed as an event that brings Canadians together through song. Despite singing a raft of Canadian works with little time to prepare, Kleineberg said her sing-

ers carried it off beautifully and she was very proud of them, especially given that they had travelled the greatest distance to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the greatest timing for a teacher

(given it occurred right at the end of the school year when marks are due and reports need to written) but I would do it again in a heart-beat,â&#x20AC;? she said. As for the students, she said while they were

kept busy throughout their visit, they also seemed to enjoy the experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the history in Ottawa, the French and English culture, it felt like being in another country,â&#x20AC;? she said.

WESTSIDE â&#x2013;ź LEGAL ADVICE

Personal injury client tips: Be honest, try to get better I

sometimes wonder if those consulting with me are disappointed by the straightforward legal advice that I give them. Some seem to be looking for clever tactical pointers. Certainly, a personal injury lawyer must have a few tricks up his or her sleeve, right? We have heard the stern warnings some lawyers give when advertising their services, as if a personal injury claim is a high stakes poker game and you need an expert wheeler-dealer to help

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott play your hand. I will erupt with legal advice if you get me going. Heck, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been writing this weekly column for 5 1/2 years now and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming close to running out of advice. Imagine the verbal barrage you would be in-

undated with if you got me on the phone! You will not be coached on trickery, though. My key adviceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I expect that it is the key advice that most experienced personal injury lawyers would offerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; boils down to two basic points. If you were raised right, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re easy to follow. The most important is to be honest. Complete honesty, every step of the way of a personal injury claim, whether dealing with your doctor, employer, and even the insurance company processing

your claim, is absolutely essential. The other is to try your best. Try your best to get better, to get back to work, and to get back to as normal a life as you can live. Review my archive and you will find that these two points are threads that regularly weave through my columns. Please be reassured that my lack of tactical

So participants will need to prioritize what elements theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see in each park in order to stay within the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available budget. West Kelowna is planning improvements to the aging Springer Park as part of ongoing efforts to revitalize the Westbank Centre. In keeping with the new Waterfront Plan, adopted in October, Paddlewheeler Park on Pritchard Drive and Osprey Park on Green Bay Road are being upgraded this year. Both parks are currently undeveloped lake accesses.

smoke and mirrors trickery. That information and advice is offered as a shield, to protect you from the unfair tactics of an insurance company, not to give you a tactical advantage. It all stems back to my very first column published Jan. 7, 2007, titled Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Not About Screwing the Insurance Company. The very best result personal injury victims

can hope for, and quite frankly this is what they consistently ask for, is a fair result, no more and no less. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims .It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

EXPERIENCED, LICENSED FAMILY DAYCARE

Peacefully, on June 29th, 2012, at her much-loved home, and in the company of family and friends, Tammy Jean Henry (nee Wallace) ended her years-long and valiant battle with breast cancer. Her fortitude and unwavering sense of humour throughout her journey was an inspiration to all those whose lives she touched. She will be deeply missed by her devoted husband Dean, of Lake Country, BC, sisters Dale Wallace of Oshawa, ON, Louise (Jean) Bourque of Sherbrooke, PQ, and Cheryl (Terry) Armstrong of Pickering, ON. She will also be lovingly remembered by nieces Jennifer Armstrong and Megan Armstrong and nephew Nathan Armstrong. Also mourning her loss is her constant canine companion, Radar. Tammy was predeceased by her mother, Glenna Van Allen and her stepfather Robert Van Allen. Tammy was most recently an instructor at Focus Training Institute in Kelowna. She will be missed dearly by her friends there and across the country. Tammy was cared for in Calgary, Lake Country, Vernon and Kelowna from scores of practitioners too numerous to mention. The love and attention she received was incredible and the family is forever appreciative of the kindness and compassion exhibited by her team of professionals. A celebration of Tammy’s life was held on July 4th at her favourite place in the world – her home. In memory of Tammy, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Center for the Southern Interior or to the Tom Baker Cancer Center in Calgary.

ARE YOU READY TO BUY A HOME? FIRST - do you have the financial resources? You should have five percent of the purchase price of a home for the down payment, but ideally even more. Are there other priorities in your life e.g. starting a new business, which require your savings? If not, buying a home should be on your radar. SECOND - do you expect to stay in your new home for some time? Moving can be expensive and you will want to build some equity before having to relocate. Your job and home life should be stable.
