MUSIC TOOK centre stage at City Park as performers such as Acres Of Lions (above) entertained at the inaugural Keloha Music Festival held last weekend. The festival drew large crowds while the Kelowna RCMP reported no serious concerns with regards to the behaviour of concert goers.
▼ KELOHA MUSIC FESTIVAL
Music from afar draws thousands to City Park Cold War Kids, The Joy Formidable, Awolnation, The Sheepdogs hit Keloha—Kelowna’s new (quasi) independent music festival Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Dressed to the nines and ready to rock a beach party with their signature blockbuster guitar riffs, The Joy Formidable proved foreboding enthusiasm for their art knows no bounds on the first full day of Keloha. Among bikini-clad bodies,
and even the odd fan stripped to the skivvies, the latest homegrown Okanagan festival’s impeccably timed heat proved no match for front-woman Ritzy Bryan who pulled on a pair of crystal-studded thick black stockings before hitting the stage. “It’s this or knee pads and a helmet,” she joked. “If I don’t
wear them, I’m all torn up by the time we’re through the set.” An hour later, she was smashing her way around the stage, breaking guitars—though on purpose. Feel-good performer Michael Bernard Fitzgerald hit a spot of bad luck the next day snapping string after string for a long pause in his lakeside performance, one of the few rough notes in an otherwise near flawless inaugural event. All in all, some 12,000 people came through the gates
for the three-day indie-themed festival featuring acts like Awolnation, Cold War Kids, Tokyo Police Club, The Sheepdogs and The Joy Formidable, originally from northern Wales. “When you grow up somewhere that’s isolated, you throw yourself into things, things that pass the time, hobbies,” said Bryan, explaining how music became a way of life for the group, though they come from a place that’s never produced an internationally touring band. Joking about the dam-
age they’ve done to their bodies along the way, the Formidable professed an absolute dedication to travel and admitted there’s seldom a time when they’re not writing new material, even on the road. “It’s not about finding inspiration when you’re off road. You find plenty of inspiration all the time. You should document it then and there,” said bass player Rhydian Dafydd.

Infamous Kelowna cop Geoff Mantler was in court Monday to face one of the men who accused him of assault. Manjeet Singh Bhatti, 36, alleges he was the victim of a surprise attack from Const. Mantler Aug. 30, 2010, over the course of an arrest. An assault charge was officially laid the following March, but until this week few details of the conflict were made public. According to testimony offered in court, the Prince George resident, who was in Kelowna several times that summer to help a friend move to the city, had ridden a brokendown, borrowed bike downtown late that night to get the lay of the land. In short order, Bhatti said he was buying two crack rocks for a grand total of $40 and smoking them with a woman he’d met earlier. The last rock was smoked at about midnight, and within an hour the high had passed, and Bhatti was on the hunt for more. “Up near the TD bank there were three people

NEWS ▼ KELOHA MUSIC FESTIVAL
Songwriter not averse to risks Performers looking to make their marks Music from A1
Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
With thousands of fans creatively conjuring the latest fashion trends while wearing as little as possible, Dan Mangan sat backstage at the Keloha festival discussing the vapid prospects of cool. A musical risk-taker who claims he’s painstakingly slow at writing new songs, Mangan is one to stay informed about the world around him—politics, social trends and the like. He’s very interested in food security, the slow food movement and urban farming, for example, and while it’s certainly trendy, that hasn’t stopped him from spreading word of interesting events on his website or bringing the topic up in interview from time to time. “I think there’s this constant pressure to not be excited about things you’re interested in because you’re not being cool. I really dislike that about our culture,” he said. “As soon as people feel excited about anything they have this need to castrate that…And yet, the people who aren’t concerned are really just the coolest people I know— the people who are able to glow and be positive and not have their guard up about things all the time.” Not one hour later, of course, Mangan proved the definition of cool as the first artist to remove himself from the stage to sign autographs before the crowd. He got the entire audience on their feet to sing Robots as he crowd-surfed among the audience. Lyrically, the song is a goofy approach to the breakneck pace of tech-
Dan Mangan nology and the songwriter does have a few thoughts on the topic. “I’m not afraid of technology,” he said. “There’s a lot of fear that we’re getting less personal with one another because of technology. “I don’t feel that. I use technology all the time, but I don’t feel less connected to my friends.” A self-professed globetrotter, Mangan nevertheless is concerned over the extent human beings commodify and discard everything within grasp. He thinks staying in one place for too long is bad for the psyche and one’s ability to develop and contribute to the world. Based out of Vancouver, Mangan served as the local hero in the final lineup of the Keloha event. Though he didn’t tear up the stage like The Joy Formidable’s Ritzy Bryan or punk girls The Pack A.D. the day before, he had fans yelling for more as The Sheepdogs took the stage Sunday evening. Mangan claims a very diverse fan base, owing in no small part to a close relationship with the national broadcaster. “I’m a big appreciator of the CBC; I’ve listened to CBC my whole life,” he said.

Five years in, they rarely take a touring break and say they’ve shown no signs of stopping, lyrically, musically or in their desire to tour. Awolnation’s frontman Aaron Bruno, by contrast, proved a little more circumspect. Now in his third signed band, though the first to experience success, Bruno said he sees this lifestyle as a temporary means to an end. “I’ll always be writing music, but no, this isn’t forever,” he said. He figures the only way to survive some of the excruciating long flights needed to tour on a large scale is by popping a Xanax and he’s none too partial to the mosquito bites left to him by this summer’s festival circuit. But Bruno knows how to rally. Famed for his electronic rock and California surf persona, he actually grew up engulfed in team sports, captaining teams at a young age as he had grown quicker than most. The residual competitive edge has served him well in the cut-throat music world. “My father raised me to be a leader and never to follow the pack,” he said. A somewhat slight man for one of athletic beginnings, Bruno now sports a tale of heroic artistic endurance. Before developing Awolnation’s space-aged sound, he was signed to record deals for the bands Under the Influence of Giants and Hometown Hero. The resulting debt to banks for record sales that never materialized left him economically stymied and bereft of enough confidence to figure Awolnation might even

AARON BRUNO shows off a few of the mosquito bites (above) he picked up courtesy of the Calgary Stampede the night before he arrived for his appearance at the Keloha Music Festival. Is that Russell Brand peeking in on The Joy Formidable’s Ritzy Bryan and Rhydian Dafydd (right)? They wish. In interview before their Saturday evening set, the Welsh duo joked they picked drummer Matt Thomas up in “Saxon land” for his Brand-like good looks. Thomas joined the group when it relocated to London. hear radio play. “I just felt I needed to write something that was my own and came from here,” he said, pointing to his chest. Now traversing the globe with tracks picked up by television shows like Sons of Anarchy and The Good Wife, not to mention artists like Macy Gray covering his work, life is less stressful. He misses the ocean, good waves and his friends, but says there will be time to make music and relax in California when the jig or the gig is up. Knobby-kneed with a chipped front tooth that reminds one of Mick Jag-

ger’s emerald, Bruno certainly cultivated the air of a star as he swooped in from Calgary to headline an event centered around independent musicians making a name for themselves. The local favourite in the final headliners, Vancouver’s Dan Mangan, is one who took the long road to the top, funding his own independent releases for five years before he was picked up by a small company in Vancouver, then ABC/Warner in Australia. Today he says he’s having major success in Germany, largely thanks to the record company
he works with in Europe, and owes a good deal of his success to radio play on the CBC’s stations. Asked for advice he would give to new independent artists trying to make it in the new music scene he said: “Rather than trying to make something that’s palatable for the world, make something that’s honest and you care about… “Surround yourself with inspiring people; always be writing; buy a van; tour a lot,; play hundreds of shows; hire a publicist and learn how to do everything yourself so that when, finally, other
people want to do it for you, you know if they’re doing a good job.” Keloha was put together by Wet Ape Productions and is the second full festival the homegrown company has produced in Kelowna. Its signature event is the Centre of Gravity and the company’s founder, Scott Emslie, has also secured several top DJs including Tiesto and DeadMau5 to play in the city. Kelowna RCMP issued a statement Monday morning saying the festivities went off without a hitch. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Sheepdogs are old-style rockers Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Coming off their first festival as headliners, Canada’s latest musical success story, The Sheepdogs, proved every bit the affable, old school-style rockers they’re labelled as before their Keloha set Sunday evening. Finally being top dog
at the Vancouver Island Musicfest on Saturday night didn’t appear to have changed the young musicians who said their music is all about “having good times and playing feelgood rock and roll.” And the group has been having a very good time playing festival after festival on the world stage since winning a Rolling
Stone Magazine contest to become the first unsigned act on its cover. “Living in Saskatoon, you don’t always get every major act coming through, so we were able to see Radiohead, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, My Morning Jacket…” said drummer Sam Corbett. Whether for love or money doesn’t seem to

be an issue at this point as they’re loving the music and putting the money to good use creatively speaking. “It’s really expensive to get vinyl made, but as soon as we could afford it, we definitely did it because we are all collectors of vinyl and big listeners of vinyl,” said bass guitar player Ryan Gullen. “Some people argue it sounds better, but there’s something different about a record. It’s a lot more involved. “People intentionally make albums flow a certain way and we’re pretty big fans of those decisions and that process.” The Sheepdogs were the second to last act of the weekend and epitomized the festival’s underlying indie music theme.

CLOWNING AROUND prior to their Sunday evening show, The Sheepdog’s Sam Corbett (left) and Ryan Gullen (right) tried a little product placement for Arizona icetea—a fitting attempt for a band known as old school southern-style rock and rollers.

indie acts and crossed over onto major labels with success in the independ-

Alleged victim outlines violent arrest Assault from A1 and I tried to buy some dope,” he said. They lingered around the parking lot for a while, and then two of the group walked with Bhatti down an alleyway to make the transaction. It was just after 1 a.m., when things went awry. “I saw something suspicious…I thought I’d get robbed,” he said, noting he turned around on his bike and high-tailed it out of the alley. Head down, pedalling as fast as he could, Bhatti said he passed a car and heard someone yell, “Hey, stop.” He testified that he didn’t want to stop while he was evading a potential robbery, and replied, “No, I’m driving to the store.” He then hung a left and was on Harvey Avenue driving against traffic. “Then I saw the red and blue lights,” he said. “I was using my feet on the ground to slow down… so I stopped.” Mid-road, Bhatti got the bike to stop, it dropped to the ground between his legs and he lifted his arms into the air.

He claims the knock caused his eye to swell shut for the following four weeks, causing headaches and impacting his vision. “I said nothing at the time, I was lying on the ground,” he said, noting he was “obeying orders.” The other officer appeared, and helped Bhatti into the car and found him his glasses. “The one who hit me (left) to see if I’d thrown something,” he said, noting that they claimed he’d ditched something during the pursuit, despite his assertions otherwise. In the back of the car, Bhatti asked Mantler’s partner why he’d hit him and was told to ask Mantler when he got back. “So I did ask him,” he said. “He said, ‘Because you’re a stupid crack-head Hindu,’ and he kept calling me a goof. ‘Goof’ this and ‘goof’ that.” Mantler, Bhatti testified, was noticeably angry. In pain, Bhatti said he requested medical intervention for his injury, but
Geoff Mantler A police officer—who he identified as Mantler’s partner—put his hands behind his back and brought him to the car in a “normal” fashion. Bhatti, who is fivefoot-11 and at that time under 120 lbs, was then cuffed and that police officer went to the bike in the road. “About 10 to 15 seconds after the first cop left, I heard, ‘stomp, stomp, stomp,” Bhatti said, noting that’s how he became aware of Mantler. “From the back of the car, he was moving fast… running. I turned my head to the right and I was hit with something…a fist or an elbow.” The hit was hard enough to shatter his glasses, and knock him to

it wasn’t forthcoming. “I kept complaining,” he said. Despite the arrest and brief stay in custody, no charges were laid. He left the detachment with $600 in fines, for things like not wearing a helmet. The next day, he went for medical help at a local clinic, then returned to the detachment to make a statement about his injury. RCMP Sgt. Wade Severson, who works for the branch of the local police detachment that deals with such issues, took Bhatti’s complaint that day. Severson testified the impact of the hit to Bhatti’s eye was evident. He was clearly getting the early stages of a shiner by the time they met up nine hours later. Although he took Bhatti’s statement, Severson left the file for 30 days and it didn’t become a criminal matter until three months later. Not long after that, Mantler made national headlines for allegedly booting a prone Buddy Tavares’ head on, which was captured on video, during the course of an arrest. That matter will be in court in November. In the interim, Tavares is keeping up with Mantler’s other legal woes, even going so far as to sit in on Monday’s testimony.

United to unveil daily flights to Los Angeles Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna’s airport is teaming up with the world’s largest airline to provide daily flights between here and Los Angeles. At a press conference scheduled for this morning at the airport, YLW, city and airline officials were to announce that after five years of negotiations, United Airlines, through its regional service United Express, will start flying between Kelowna International (YLW) and Los Angeles’ LAX, the sixth busiest airport in the world, starting in December. “California is the largest transborder market for Okanagan residents and currently accounts for 28 per cent of the outbound travel to the U.S.,” said YLW director Sam Samaddar. He added that while the personal travel market is strong, the high-tech industry and the wine industry have also created strong business ties between our two regions. He said the Los Angeles route has been timed
to also maximize connections to and from the southwest United States, Mexico and Latin America. “This is great news for our community, the Okanagan and B.C.’s Southern Interior,” said Mayor Walter Gray, who also chairs the YLW Airport Advisory Committee. “Having daily, nonstop flights between Kelowna and Los Angeles will open the doors for both business and holiday travellers.” United Express will operate one flight per day to start, leaving YLW at 8 a.m. and arriving a LAX at 10.51 a.m. as of Dec. 20. The returning flight will leave LAX at 6:40 p.m. and arrive in Kelowna at 9:44 p.m. “This will be our largest hub (airport) with the most connections to other destinations,” said Samaddar. “Inbound passengers will find this advantageous as well to help get them here and experience the Okanagan’s four seasons of adventure.” LAX, in addition to being the sixth busiest airport in the world, is the third busiest in the United

States, offering more than 600 daily flights to 91 domestic cities and more than 1,000 weekly nonstop flights to 58 cities in 32 countries on nearly 75 air carriers. In 2011, LAX saw more than 61 million passengers pass through its terminals. United Airlines, which amalgamated with Continental Airlines last year to become the largest airline in the world, flies to 375 airports in 62 countries. It is a founding member of the Star Alliance network of airlines that includes Air Canada. It operates a fleet of 702 aircraft. Gray hailed the introduction of direct flights between Los Angeles and Kelowna, saying it showed United’s confidence in his city and the entire Okanagan. He said landing new service routes is a very long process and in the case of the deal with United, it took five years of discussions to convince the giant U.S. airline to fly here. “Our air service development team has built a strong and sustainable business case,” added the mayor. YLW is the ninth busiest airport in Canada and annually serves 1.4 million passengers. There are currently 64 scheduled flights in and out of the airport with carriers such as Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, Westjet, Central Mountain Air, Northwestern Air, as well as charter services by Transat Holidays and Sunwing. Direct scheduled flights to and from Kelowna go to major North American hub airports such as Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary, as well as regional airports in Prince George and Red Deer. There is also seasonal service to and from Las Vegas, Phoenix and Mexican holiday resort areas Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Electric vehicle charge Two lives lost in fatal plane crash station opens in Kelowna Police have released hometowns of the victims of Saturday’s fatal plane crash at Marshall Field in Vernon. Police say both victims are men. The pilot is 59, from Kelowna, and the passenger is from Port Moody, aged 54. The Capital News has learned the plane was registered to Kelowna realtor Shaida Langley, who was not on board when the plane crashed.
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna was once noted for having some of the highest per-capita greenhouse gas emissions in B.C., but today it’s an integral link on the west coast electric highway. The city’s first electric car charge station opened for business Friday, outside the Best Western Hotel. Now any electric car driving visitor to the hotel can have a free jolt. “It’s another way of meeting our customers’ demands and our sustainability goals,” said Rosemary Paterson, the hotel’s general manager. The charge station is pretty unobtrusive, and clearly isn’t meant to take a bite out of gas stations’ business, but it is a relevant link on a pathway across western Canada, said Kent Rathwell the founder of Sun Country Highway, when he stopped at the Kelowna charge station. His Saskatoon, Sask. company has been working with private sector partners, like the Best Western, to install the stations in the wake of the B.C. government creating $2.74 million community charging infrastructure fund. Announced this year, the province’s goal is to see more than 500 charging stations in B.C. by the end of next March, and Rathwell expects to see electric possibilities go a lot further, by year’s end. “The mission of our company is to implement
Both men were killed when the Piper twin engine aircraft veered into Marshall Field in front of the VantageOne Soccer Centre shortly before 1 p.m., and burst into flames. No names have been released. The twin engine plane took off from the Vernon Airport shortly before 1 p.m. “For whatever reason, the plane then veered left into Marshall Field,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Sat-
urday evening. The plane clipped a tree, “skipped over a bench,” according to witnesses, and crashed and exploded into flames in front of the soccer centre. Officials confirmed two occupants of the plane were killed. The RCMP and the coroner continue to investigate the crash, and the Transportation Safety Board has been advised of the incident.

ROSEMARY PATERSON, the Best Western’s general manager, displays the hotels new electric car charger—the first of its kind in Kelowna. electric car infrastructure across the country in a year,” he said. So far, an electric car could get from the far end of Vancouver Island, to Saskatoon, if its driver planned the route well. That said, there aren’t a lot of electric cars on the road just yet. Electric vehicles, such as the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt, are already on sale at local dealerships—and Sun Country also sells the electric pickup called the V-truck—but there are few on the roads. Rathwell, however, has a bit of a build-it-andthey-will-come attitude toward the issue. He believes establishing charging stations will help foster demand.
After all, once the initial investment is made, electric is the cheapest way forward. “If people want to help themselves financially, they’ll look at this,” he said. A full charge is still pretty much free at most places, but once dollars start getting attached Rathwell said it could ring in at anywhere between $1 and $4. It’s slightly more time consuming than a traditional fill, however, as it takes from 20 minutes to three hours from start to finish. It takes Rathwell eight charges to get from Saskatoon to Vancouver Island. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com
When some Kelowna residents park their vehicles outside their homes in future, they will no longer land on free parking. City council has approved a plan to charge residents living on streets where there are currently timed parking periods— around the Kelowna General Hospital, in the North End around Prospera Place, east of downtown up to Gordon Drive, the area around Kelowna Senior Secondary and Okanagan College and the Landmark Square building complex—$30 a year from now on to park on the street. The $30 fee would cover two residential vehicles and two guest vehicles. It will kick in Oct. 1. According to city property manager Ron
Forbes, the permit fee will help pay for the city’s cost of administration and enforcement of the parking restrictions and is in line with what other municipalities in B.C. charge, said Forbes in his report to council. “The recommendation to implement a small annual charge for residential parking permits will help recover the cost of the extra service of parking enforcement in these areas,” said Forbes. Currently, residents can apply for a free permit to allow them to park vehicles on the street if they cannot park on their own property. They can also get free permits for guest parking on the street outside their homes. In most of the areas, the parking time-limit is two hours. Coun. Andre Blanleil asked if there will be a bigger expectation about enforcement by the city
with the move. He also questioned the two-hour limit downtown, saying with so many hockey games at Prospera Place, two hours there is too short. City staff will look at that issue. Coun Robert Hobson said he was concerned that people may feel the streets can be “privatized” and “bought” under the new plan and the proposal is moving in the wrong
direction. But Coun. Gail Given said she believes in the principle of fee for service and supported the move, adding she thinks more parking may open up if residents have to pay because not as many permits will be taken out. The city currently issues 636 parking permits. If all were applied for under the new program, the fee would raise $19,000 for the city.

Privatizing the Liquor Distribution Branch would not only cause the province to lose millions of dollars in revenue, it would also drive up liquor prices for consumers, according to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union. Nearly 40 union members armed with petitions staged a rally in Langley last week, collecting signatures to “stop the Liquor Distribution Branch sell-off.” They were also hoping to catch the eye of Rich Coleman, minister responsible for the LDB, who is also a Langley area Liberal MLA. “(The LDB) is a public asset that has served the public for decades,” said Evan Stewart, communications officer for the BCGEU. “Last year alone it produced in the region of $890 million of profit, and that’s provincial revenue that goes into building schools, hospitals and highways and looking after seniors.” Since the privatization plan was announced in the budget speech in February, there has been no public consultation nor a business case presented to justify the sale, Stewart said. He also believes this will cause prices to increase for consumers. “I think British Columbians need to be aware that the system has worked for decades (and) has provided consistent pricing province wide. If you go into a liquor store in East Vancouver, right by the warehouse, or if you go to a liquor store in Fort St. John, the prices are the same,” he said. “There’s certainly no assurance that if the warehouse and distribution service is privatized we’re going to have consistent, province-wide pricing. And I think there is a very real possibility that this privatization is going to drive up costs for consumers.” Matt Phillips, of Victoria’s Phillips Brewing

Company, also a member the Craft Beer Association of B.C., has predicted that privatization could add between 75 cents to $1 on the cost of a six-pack of beer, Stewart said. “A lot of the smaller brewers are happy with the service that LDB provides, and they are concerned that privatizing is going to drive up their costs,” he said. Inside the building, Coleman did not address any liquor-related issues in his speech. However, he was asked a question about the privatization by a chamber member. Asked why no business case had been prepared in advance of the Request for Proposals (RFP) that calls for responses from the private
sector by June 30, Coleman said that the government instead did an analysis. “What we have here is an old warehouse that is not very efficient. We could either go build a new warehouse or see if someone in the private sector wanted to come in with a proposal. “We need to look to efficiencies, and the best way is to go to the private sector,” he said. He also emphasized that part of the RFP requires that existing employees do not lose their jobs and remain as members of the union. Coleman said the final decision on the privatization RFP will be made by a panel of civil servants and not by politicians, “and if there is no savings to consumers, we won’t do the deal.”
credibility to collectables business
Shopping, buying or probing through antiques can be an overwhelming process. Sorting through the “real deal” from junk can be challenging. That is the premise upon which in July 2009, partners Boris Shreyberg and Terry Koutros took their passion for antiques and collectibles on the road, creating The Great Canadian Roadshow. Their company scours across Canada seeking unique and authentic collectibles, bringing their roadshow tour to Kelowna for three days this week, July12 to 15 at the Fairfield Inn hotel, 1655 Powick Rd. “There is a certain joy we receive from helping someone decipher where grandma’s old coins came from,” said Koutros. “For us, that is just as fulfilling as writing a youngster a sizable cheque for his grandfather’s old pocket watches.” Koutros acknowledges that his industry suffered a bit of a black eye earlier this year when a U.S.based firm bounced some cheques to sellers for jewelry, gold and other valuable collectibles bought at a trade show. “It’s important for us to reiterate that we are in no way involved with that particular company (THR & Associates).

Blow to democracy in education
D
emocracy in B.C. took a bit of a hit earlier this month as nine trustees on the Cowichan School Board got sacked. But how, you may well ask, can anyone just fire an elected official? It is part of the provincial School Act that the minister of education can, at will, remove an elected school board and replace them with an appointed trustee to hold the reins of power until a new board can be elected. In this case, the Cowichan
School Board was fired for refusing to submit a balanced budget that, as in almost all school districts in the province, would have included yet more cuts. Part of the mandate given to trustees under the School Act requires them to submit a balanced budget. The Cowichan trustees weighed that against their responsibility to look out for the education of students, and decided that the students ranked higher and submitted a budget that dared to show the
amount they needed to be effective. Just as in the Central Okanagan School District, Cowichan has dealt with years of shrinking budgets. School District 23 has been lucky enough to have done some very foresighted financial planning, which has helped to both smooth out the annual budget shortfalls, and keep budget cuts out of the classroom as much as possible. But even that is running out as school districts are pushed
closer and closer to the line by shrinking enrolment and a government that annually claims to be increasing funding, blindly ignoring increasing costs. We doubt anyone expected the Cowichan “restoration” budget to be approved. But democracy died a little when Minister of Education George Abbott refused to even meet with the board, and simply sacked these elected officials rather than begin to address the very real issue of the need for more education funding.

deemed an RCMP-operated camera at the foot of Leon Avenue an invasion of privacy, the public has mellowed to the thought of starring in a real-life reality show. While public surveillance cameras are now common across North America, so are so-called “citizen reporters” who carry cameras with them at all times in their cell phones and have become the go-to people for on-the-spot photos and videos of life as it happens. YouTube, Twitter and Facebook are now what CNN was 20 years ago, the real 24-hour-a-day news source. And like a whole raft of other “security” measures we now live with, we don’t seem to mind.
In Kelowna, the public has moved beyond the privacy concerns of public spycams 10 years ago. No one complains anymore about the city’s surveillance camera that watches over the Queensway bus loop or the Chapman Parkade or that RCMP-operated camera at the foot of Leon Avenue to watch the nightly bar flush. We accept cameras watching traffic at intersections and in banks, stores and virtually everywhere the pubic gathers. We know we are being watched— the signs posted at the cameras tell us that—and, in a way, we take comfort in the fact. When we turn on the television, we see shows that depict bad guys getting caught before the end credits roll thanks to public sur-
veillance cameras. We think of the alternative, shrug our shoulders and move on to other issues like jobs, the economy and how our favourite sports team is doing. In the 11 years since 9-11, we have become used to having our privacy invaded. We accept it as the price we pay not only to travel but for staying safe. Now the city says it has had calls for a webcam to broadcast live pictures over the Internet of Stuart Park’s ice rink in the winter. And the city is giving that idea some serious thought.

â–ź FOOD MODIFICATION
Food should be returned to natural state To the editor: Biotechnology does transform the agri-food industry. We consumers strongly request that at least all biotech (as well as irradiated) foods be labeled as such, so we are free to choose. Ninety-four per cent of citizens interviewed in a poll by Optima Consultants of Ottawa said, “if a tomato is genetically engineered, the label must indicate so.� Is there a food company we can
trust to do so? Canada allows potatoes, onions, wheat, wheat flours and spices to be irradiated (as pharmaceuticals and sterile medical supplies, such as bandages and gloves are). Canadian or U.S.grown russet, Atlantic and superior potatoes may be transgenic (containing a gene from another species) and may not be labeled as such. Bacillus thuringiensis (BT), a soildwelling bacterium com-
monly used as a biological pesticide, attacks the digestive tracts of the pesky potato beetle. It should kill them, but how about us, the consumers? Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soya beans have been genetically altered to withstand higher applications of their own popular herbicide product and are therefore likely to contain unnaturally high levels of estrogens. They are already distributed worldwide in a variety of prod-
ucts such as soya milk and even in baby formulas. It was estimated that 9.7 million hectares of genetically altered soya beans were planted in 1998 in Canada and the U.S. and 7.7 million hectares of genetically altered corn. We consumers highly oppose any of our health food or supplements being taken away from us. Rather they should be returned where they belong, including all herbs given
by God for our health and healing. The culprits should expect God’s punishment. Is there not a great powerful organization with a strong backbone to stop this slowly devastating trend? Should it not be our government? It is high time for them to awake or at least keep their noses out of our health food business. What a relief it would be. Alberte Bosshard, Kelowna

Who’s on guard for Canadian gas consumers?
To the editor: Every day for about a week, I noticed that every newscast I watched talked about some weirdo in Montreal who killed and dismembered someone. Sensationalism, that’s what makes the news. There was something
else that happened in Canada that affects every Canadian that not a single word was spoken about. Why it is not newsworthy beats me. Back on June 2, a barrel of oil cost $102 per barrel, and a litre of gasoline cost $1.249. Almost
overnight, a barrel of oil dropped to $82 per barrel, while the gas pumps stayed at $1.249 per litre. On June 7, the price per barrel went up to $85, dropped $20 and then went back up $3. So why then did the price of gas per litre increased five
Farm worker accommodation decision made too hastily To the editor: Further to the Capital News story regarding council’s approval of seasonal workers’ accommodations located on McKenzie Road. As a resident of the area I have been given very little opportunity to voice my concerns. Several council members met with the owner/ farmer on site, when I requested the same consideration, my request was ignored. City council held a closed meeting led by Greg Sauer, the city environment and land use planner, to discuss approval of the application for accommodations, which again did not allow me to voice my concerns.
When Greg Sauer was asked if this was the best location for placement of the trailers, his response was that it’s a subjective opinion. If that is true, then I believe I and my neighbours have the right to put forth an opinion. Council was concerned this proposal would provide safe housing for seasonal workers. To my knowledge, there has been no investigation to determine if discarded 10 to 15 year old oil patch trailers, placed on a west facing slope with no vegetation around or air conditioning is a safe environment. As the present location considered is not within the gaze of the farmer, the question also arises if
proper supervision of the workers is possible. Could it be the farmer does not want this in his own backyard? It’s my opinion that council rushed this decision to satisfy the farmer’s need to bring workers in by July 15. In other words, the farmer’s poor planning precipitated a decision without proper investigation and public input. Seasonal workers’ accommodation should be a grave concern to any citizen within the city that is adjacent to Agricultural Land Reserve land. It’s a distinct possibility this could happen in your neighbourhood. Jacqueline Parser, Kelowna
Thanks to those who help To the editor: Just wanted to express my thanks and deep appreciation to the angels of mercy who stopped and gave assistance at the collision on Benvoulin Road Friday afternoon. To the off-duty EMS person and RN who were so caring and concerned before the fire department and ambulance arrived, thank you. I’m sorry I
can’t remember names but your kindness will not be forgotten. Thank you to my coworkers at the City of Kelowna, the RCMP and Fire Department who attended to the scene and showed such compassion and professionalism. To the person who caused this horrific collision that is affecting so many people, I don’t
know what your motive was to drive so recklessly and with young passengers in the vehicle. Perhaps the RCMP will be able to figure that one out. Thanks again to all who helped. My first visit to the new ER at KGH was memorable. Kathleen Rowe, West Kelowna
cents to $1.309 at that point. Something is rotten somewhere. Was this a newsworthy item? Apparently not, as nobody in the news media was talking about that. Where are all our politicians and news hounds?
Oh Canada, who stands on guard for thee? Let’s bring back Gene Autry or The Lone Ranger, then maybe justice can be served, but I doubt it. Gary Manns, Kelowna

Seeing a need and stepping in to help To the editor: On the weekend of June 23-24, at the corner of Gordon Drive and KLO Road, my wheelchair stalled in the pouring rain. A gentleman and his sons, along with some other soccer players, offered me assistance. The son who assist-
ed me was named Don. These people were complete strangers to me but went out of their way to get me home safely. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to those individuals. You have redeemed my faith in people. Donald Koevatke, Kelowna

Using your natural back brace
Interior Health staff recognized with awards for innovations
Fabienne Moser CONTRIBUTOR
Since summer has finally arrived, you may be spending regular time in the garden. And with gardening, comes the effects of these activities on your lower back? Has that old back strain flared up again? If so, it may be time to take the initiative to prevent your back pain from getting worse. The goal with rehabilitation and prevention of lower back pain is to find the optimal balance between movement and stability. The spine itself is relatively unstable and needs the help of the muscular system to maintain its stability. Without the muscles that control each intervertebral segment, the spine would be free to move around in many different ways. However, that degree of freedom of movement would cause all kinds of wear and tear on back structures such as discs, nerves, and joints. One way in which the body helps maintain the stiffness of the spine is by using the co-contraction of different core muscles. These muscles are your body’s natural built-in back brace. It is essential that these muscles not only work appropriately, but
also are strong enough to keep the pelvic floor like you’re trying to spine stiff, especially with activities stop yourself from going to the such as lifting and shoveling. bathroom.

The Excellence in B.C. Health Care Awards last month saw two Interior Health employees honoured for by the Health Employers Association of B.C. for their efforts to provide quality care and acknowledge excellence and innovation in publicly funded health care. The two award winners were Laurie Skene and Dr. Christopher Wilson. Skene was the recipient of the Health Authority Gold Apple award. A surgical services and medical device reprocessing clinical practice standards coordinator in Kelowna, Skene has long been respected for her work as a perioperative nurse. Skene has been instrumental in achieving standardization across Interior Health’s 17 surgical sites. She created and maintains their surgical services and medical device reprocessing online manuals, which include more than 100 clinical practice
standards. She has also undertaken the standardization of patient education tools for those undergoing shoulder and fractured hip surgery—no small feat given it required the approval of all of the region’s surgeons, nursing and rehabilitation staff, dietitians, as well as other stakeholders. Through this work, Skene has inspired staff and physicians to ensure clinical decisions and practices are evidencebased, comprehensive, and patient-focused. The award for Dr. Wilson was Top Innovation Award of Merit Recipient. Wilson, a clinical psychologist at the Kelowna Mental Health and Substance Use Centre, received the award for his work on the comprehensive dialectical behaviour therapy program demonstration project. Wilson was seeing an increase in clients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and, with just
Inn from the Cold is incredibly grateful and would like to say
: u o y k n Tha To all of our volunteers who truly made this day a success! To all the incredible teams that participated.
Finally to our sponsors:
two clinicians leading its dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) groups, the waitlist had grown to two years. To address this issue, KMHSU offered a oneyear demonstration project to increase its capacity to provide comprehensive DBT by providing training to all team leaders and interested clinicians, and to determine the effectiveness of this therapy in clients with (BPD). After one year, the waitlist went from two years to zero, and due to its success the program is now being offered to clients with other diagnoses. The Excellence in BC Health Care Awards were created in 2007 to celebrate successes in health care and to thank those who are often too busy to stop and appreciate their accomplishments. The awards are judged by a health field volunteer committee along with community leaders from business, science and technology and university.

Watch cooking meat in the heat With summer being the season for picnics and barbecuing, exercise caution in these days of warm temperatures. Hot summer days offer the ideal conditions for food-borne bacteria to thrive and multiply quickly. To protect yourself, your family and friends from becoming ill, safe food handling when eating outdoors is crucial. The most important things to remember when cooking during the summer is temperature and cross contamination. Keeping food at proper temperatures—indoors and out—is critical in preventing the growth of food-borne bacteria. The key is to never let your food remain in the “danger zone”—between 4 C and 60 C (40 F and 140 F)—for more than two hours.
Rose Soneff Cold, perishable food should be kept in the cooler at 4 C (40 F) or below, until serving time. Once served, it should not sit out for longer than two hours. Food in individual serving dishes can be placed directly on ice, or in a shallow container set in a deep pan filled with ice. Drain off water as ice melts and replace the ice frequently. Hot food should be kept hot, at or above 60 C (140 F), wrap it well and
place it in an insulated container or on a burner set on low until serving. These foods should also not sit at room temperature for more than two hours. Meats should be thawed in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. Sealed packages can be thawed in cold running water. Defrosting meat in the microwave is acceptable, if placed immediately on the grill. Cross-contamination occurs when bacteria or disease causing microorganisms are transferred from one food item to another. Prevent this by keeping raw meat away from other foods so juices don’t leak out onto other foods; using separate utensils, cutting boards, dishes, and other cooking equipment for raw and cooked meats; wash-

ing your hands carefully with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw meat. Finally, thoroughly wash and dry all cooking equipment, utensils, work surfaces and reduce bacterial contamination by spraying or soaking surfaces with a 10 per cent bleach solution. Purchase and use a digital stem thermometer to take reliable internal temperatures of cooked food. The following internal temperatures are recommended for food safety: • rare beef steaks and roasts or eggs, 63 C (145 F); • fish, 70 C (160 F); • pork or ground beef, 71 C (160 F); • food mixtures (containing poultry, eggs, meat and fish), 74 C (165 F); • dark meat of poultry, 85 C (185 F).

▼ FOOD BANK SUPPORT
SCOTT Lanigan, from Trinity Baptist Church, presents donation to Lenetta Parry, with Kelowna food bank.
Valley First donates prized sculpture Valley First Credit Union member Cory Fuhr’s steel sculptures have been gaining notoriety for more than a decade. Now, he’s putting his artistic skills to work to help the credit union’s Feed the Valley fundraising campaign. The acclaimed Vernon sculptor has donated a piece of his captivating art collection to raffle off, with all proceeds going to Valley First’s signature cause. To raise money for Feed the Valley, Valley First will be raffling Fuhr’s sculpture, a one-of-a-kind, four-foot metalwork piece independently appraised at more than $8,000. Fuhr, a regular personal contributor to Feed the Valley, believes his artwork donation will help this unique hunger-fighting program reach even more people. “Over the last few years, more and more people have become reliant on food banks,” said Fuhr. “Feed the Valley really

help make a bigger impact by donating a piece of my work. People have got to eat and Valley First’s commitment to need really demonstrates a commit-
ment to people over profit. I’m proud to be part of that.” Valley First will also be offering a second prize of a $500 Valley First RRSP. Raffle tickets went on sale at 1 p.m. Monday, and will be available at one for $5, three for $10 or five for $20 until Sept. 28. Tickets can be purchased at Valley First’s Vernon, Armstrong, Kamloops, downtown Kelowna and Penticton main branches. The prize draw will take place on Oct. 2 at 11 a.m. Winners will be notified by telephone. “Feed the Valley is a tremendous program that has attracted the support of many terrific partners,” said Valley First’s Vernon branch manager Debbie Bagnall. “Cory’s generous donation will help us extend Feed the Valley’s reach and allow us to continue to strengthen our community.” During the raffle period, Fuhr’s donated sculpture will displayed at branches across the Valley

First network. All proceeds will go to Feed the Valley and donated to the food bank in the area where the tickets were purchased. Since its creation in March 2010, Feed the Valley has raised more than $270,000 and collected more than 16,000 pounds of food donations for food banks throughout the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions. This sets Valley First well on the way to achieving its ambitious goal of raising $1 million by 2020.
Trinity Baptist steps up to help feed children
j Trinity Baptist Church has presented a donation of $20,653 to support the Kelowna Community Food Bank children’s programming. Of that donation, $10,000 will be directed to the Kids Snack Pack program expansion. Launched as a pilot project in 2007, the Kids Snack Pack program provided children one to six with agespecific, healthy snacks to take with them to daycare, pre-school and school. The food bank distributes an average of 2,700 snack packs per year, valued at $25 each. This week, eligibility will be expanded to include all recipient children up to age 12, effectively doubling the program. “We have set a goal to eliminate child hunger in Kelowna,” said Lenetta Parry, food bank associate executive director. “Although we have made great strides towards assisting vulnerable children, there is still much work to be done. Expanding our Kids Snack Pack program is an important first step.” “Hunger in our schools is preventable,” added Scott Lanigan, director of cause at the Trinity Church. “Hungry kids face many disadvantages that can last a lifetime. It is critical we invest in their early development.”

Look both ways before investing I ‘‘
believe that there are two major fundamental and evolutionary trends that a successful investor has to be aware— the technological revolution and globalization. With the technology revolution, new innovations seem to be appearing more and more rapidly than in the past due to better, cheaper and more convenient communication. Some of these advances build upon and modify existing products. For example, computer processor speeds just seem to get faster every year. Other ideas build upon the original intent of the product. For example, my phone now is a far better and handier camera than any other camera that I have ever had before. It’s so useful now because it’s usually with me whenever I have the urge to take a snap shot of one of life’s little memories.
INVESTMENT INSIGHTS
Robert Oleksyn And I can then immediately share those pictures with anyone that I want to, anywhere in the world, by the use of email, text or social media sites. Then there are other cases where entire generations of technology are leap-frogged. I always think of the Tibetan monks who went directly from nothing to satellite phones and wi-fi hot spots. And when I talk about technology, I’m not just talking about the electronic gadgets, but rather technological advances. For example, technological advances in how horizontal drilling
and multistage hydraulic fracking have greatly increased the supply of oil and natural gas. So much so, that you now hear noise from the odd analyst that the U.S. could be self-sufficient in energy in the near future. Would that change the dynamics of the world? You bet! The future course of globalization has been supported by the same things which supported the innovations in technology. Easier, better, cheaper and more convenient communication is changing the view of how the world and corporations should be operated. National and corporate leaders who pursue economic policies that don’t make sense increasingly run the risk of having their stock and currencies quickly crushed by a well informed and highly motivated network of global investors, analysts

and traders who dominate global financial markets. As soon as I wake up every morning, I get my coffee and check out the financial and investment news on BNN and Thomson Reuters. If these global investors and traders don’t like how JP Morgan are handling their derivative positions, the bank’s stock price take a smack. If they don’t like who won the election in
Greece, the interest rates on the country’s bonds go up. This trend is making political leaders and corporate managers subject to a round the clock voting process on the wisdom of their strategies. My only advice that I have for investors is based on the analogy of being a safe driver: Keep your head up, look both ways before you cross the street and assume that none of the drivers see you.

Central Okanagan Foundation hires new exec director
Bruce Davies has been appointed the new executive director of the Central Okanagan Foundation. For Davies, his new job brings him back to the Okanagan, after having lived in Kelowna as a teenager. His education and a career took him away from the community he had grown to love after graduating high school. “School and growing my career have taken me across the country and back, and around the world to a certain extent, but I always wanted to be back in Kelowna,” Davies said. “It’s an amazing community and I’m delighted to be here.” Davies started in the not-for-profit sector 25 years ago when he accepted a position with the United Way of the Lower Mainland. During 13 years with the organization, Davies worked in campaigns, community services and planned giving. He also spent five years with the United Way in Halifax followed by a position with the Telus World of Science in Calgary. Prior to being hired by COF, Davies spent time travelling to and from South America working with United Way Brazil. Davies says his passion—and what has driven his career in the not-for-profit sector—is working with volunteers and donors, saying he’s always “pleasantly astonished” by the many acts of generosity and selflessness. “I believe the Central Okanagan Foundation is wellpositioned in the community to continue growing and bringing donors and charities together to support the community,” Davies said.

Improving your chances to get interview for job opening M
ost Kelowna residents know that during the summertime our city is a tourist destination point. As a result, the population of the city and the surrounding area swells during July and August. As well, the tourism growth during the summer creates many job openings for non-skilled workers. So if someone were to breeze into town and

WANTED Homes in need of re-roofing!
We require a few homes in your area to display our lifetime metal roofing system. Select homes will be chosen to demonstrate why this product is fast replacing conventional roofing materials. Should your home be used, you will qualify for substantial savings. This offer is time limited. If you have ever considered a permanent, eco-friendly roof for your home, don’t miss out on this opportunity.
Re-roof today and save!
In Kelowna, we joke that we pay a ‘sunshine tax’ to work here because many of us take the summer off, or try to, so the wages tend to be a bit lower. But when September rolls around, then it’s back to business as usual as we sometimes tend to put in the long hours over the winter to make up for our summers off. What also happens during the summer is that companies start to advertise for the more skilled positions that may be opening up in the fall. I happen to be one of those companies.

posted a job advertisement on the Internet, one of my requirements being that the applicants have basic computer knowledge. So by my way of thinking, if I advertise on the Internet, applicants will need to email their resumes, giving me an opportunity to determine whether the computer knowledge requirement is satisfied. This advertisement then requires that the applicant go over to my web page to view the detailed job description. Most advertised job openings will give a job description of what the job requires and also the qualifications that the applicant must have. Now I realize that Employment Insurance requires that EI recipients must continue to look for work, so some people take this to the extreme and apply for anything listed that they think that they might like to do— whether they have any related experience or not.
Something to keep in mind when applying for work in Kelowna is that our economy is entrepreneur driven, which means that there are many firms that have under five employees located here. There are very few firms that are large enough to have a human resources department. My definition of an entrepreneur is ‘being pulled in many directions at once.’ So if you are serious about finding ‘the’ position for you in Kelowna, you need to target your audience. Entrepreneurs need to know from either the first paragraph of your resume cover letter or from the first item of your resume that you have the qualifications that are required by the position. Entrepreneurs do not have a lot of time to read through and try to figure out whether you can do the job or not from your resume—you need to get that point across right off the start.
Unfortunately, I have received many resumes that have spelling mistakes, certainly don’t address the qualifications of the job and don’t even mention the job description. I’ve even received some that mention the wrong job title and that are even addressed to someone else or have the incorrect company name. I have also asked that applicants provide a salary range that they would expect to be paid. I have received a few responses to this and most are incomplete. People will give me an annual salary range, but won’t tell me how many hours a day or days per week that range pertains to. Would you work weekends? Would you work overtime? Are you looking for full-time or flexible time? Are you looking for a job or is this your career? The biggest disappointment with the resumes that I have received is how many don’t ad-
dress all the qualifications for the position. So, I would suggest when applying for an advertised job opening, address all that job posting’s qualifications in a cover letter or in a resume. That will certainly get you on any short list for the interview. If you can make things easier for a potential boss right from the beginning, keeping in mind that person will probably be a busy entrepreneur, paying attention to the job qualification details might be the beginning of a wonderful relationship. As most job applicants can find it difficult to get an interview, amend your resume and cover letter to actually speak to the skilled position that you are applying for. It will help your chances to get that interview. Gabriele Banka is a certified general accountant and the owner of Banka & Company Inc. info@bankaco.com

NEWS ▼ BRAINTRUST CANADA
Chipping in for a worthy cause The annual Pihl Law Corporation Golf Marathon in support of BrainTrust Canada and brain injury education and prevention takes place Friday, Sept. 7, at the Okanagan Golf Club Bear golf course. This event offers the ultimate day of golf—12 hours to play 100 holes from dawn until dusk, with a total of $50,000 hole in one prizes courtesy of Capri Insurance, Harmony Honda, Avalon Event Rentals and a special One Million Dollar Hole In One for four randomly drawn players courtesy of RBC Dominion Securities. There will also be valuable prizes such as the grand prize of a golf package at the award winning Golf BC courses Olympic View Golf Club and Arbutus Ridge, accommodations in Victoria and rental courtesy of Valley Mitsubishi. There will also be prizes for the top three fundraisers including a getaway to the Prestige Oceanfront Resort courtesy of Prestige Hotels and Resort. The title sponsor, Pihl Law Corporation, is joined by gold sponsors Valley Mitsubishi and Adams, Heymen Owen; silver sponsors BDO, ICBC and Viewpoint Medical Assessment Services, a Centric Health Company; and media sponsors the Capital News, The Daily Courier, Global TV, Shaw Communica-
tions, K96.3, SUN FM/AM 1150/ EZ Rock, Power 104/Q103.1 and Okanagan Life. Corporate supporter Aspire Media Works will provide promotional printing services, while Karen Guy, of Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty, and M&M Meat Shops on Harvey Avenue will host the barbecue lunch. “Brain injury is one of the least understood issues we have today,” said Sean Pihl of Pihl Law Corporation. “People need to realize that brain injury can happen in the blink of an eye—but can last a lifetime. “It can result from traumatic causes such as motor vehicle crashes, i.e. inattention while driving, or drinking and driving; or from sports related causes such as not wearing the proper gear such as helmets; or from non-traumatic causes such as stroke, tumors or excessive drug and alcohol use.” Pihl Law Corporation handles personal injury cases relating to brain injury and we see the profound impact that brain injury has on family, friends and community. “The long-term care costs for just one person with serious brain injury is in excess of $4 million and the best cure is prevention and education,” said Pihl. “Canada is our community— they have a variety of initiatives to
bring awareness to this serious issue, and also provide community rehabilitation to persons with brain injury in the Okanagan.” “This golf marathon is our most significant fundraising event of the year,” added Magda Kapp, director of communications for BrainTrust Canada. “All proceeds go to brain injury awareness programs, especially for our youth who are the highest risk for brain injury. The marathon itself is the ultimate day of golf, not only for the golf itself, but also meals and snacks all day, fun activities on most of the holes around the course, great prizes for all golfers, and even a massage for the aching muscles at the end of the day. “We can only allow a maximum of 50 golfers for the day, so those interested should contact our office at 250-762-3233 or visit the golf marathon section of braintrustcanada. com as soon as possible.” BrainTrust Canada is a progressive community rehabilitation organization dedicated to being a leader in injury prevention, as well as maximizing independence for persons with brain injury. Brain injury has been labelled an epidemic, and is the leading cause of death and disability under the age of 45. One person in Canada sustains brain injury every three minute— that equates to 480 people a day.

Kelowna U15 girls golden Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna United U15 girls were a force to be reckoned with all season long on soccer pitches all across the province. The trend continued on their home turf last weekend as United went unbeaten to capture the gold medal at the B.C. Provincial B Cup girls soccer championship. After dominating their pool with a 3-0 record, the Kelowna squad sealed the deal on a scorching Sunday afternoon at the Mission sports fields with a 2-1 win over Coquitlam Metro Ford in the championship final. Emma Johnson scored both goals for United, the game winner coming with about 15 minutes left to play. “We just told the girls to go out and play their normal game and they did that,� said United coach Linda George. “Our defense was great, (Coquitlam) only really had two good chances, so those girls really deserve credit for the game they played.� The provincial title capped off a long list of medal performances by the U15 girls this season. United also won the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League title, the gold at three tournaments—the Icebreaker, Kamloops and Penticton—and a silver medal at a tourney in Bellingham. George said the team’s key to success was their commitment to a common goal. “The girls just gelled together so well this year,� George said. “It’s wonderful to see because they’ve worked so hard and training, and they’ve given
it 100 per cent all season. They’re really a nice bunch of girls to work with and they really deserve this.� The gold medal-winning United U15 squad is: Abby Nyberg, Amber Hilts, Bailey Peissard, Brianna Mapson, Emma Johnson, Hayley Slade, Jayden Penkala, Jazlyn Lazar, Kelsey Slattery, Kiana Ajamzadeh, Krisztina Breti, Lindsey Lalach, Meghan Gerein, Rebecca Barkley, Jenny Labossiere and Avery Watson. The coaches are: Linda George, Joe Breti and Mark Slade.
UNITED U13 SILVER The Kelowna United U13 girls came up just a step short of their ultimate
goal, but still walked away with a silver medal at the Provincial B Cup. United posted a 3-0 record in pool play, before falling in Sunday’s final 5-0 to the Central City Breakers. “All in all, a really good year for the girls,� said U13 coach Brian Dewar. “I think the game the day before (3-2 win over Penticton) took a lot out the girls. “They didn’t quite have the energy they needed. But still, it was pretty satisfying to win a medal. The girls did well,� Dewar said. The Kelowna U13 girls are: Antonia Weiler, Courtney Peissard, Angelia Ostrom, Erin Thomas, Kyra
McNulty, BriannaTataryn, Chanel Campbell, Kiera Baldwin, Danika Lee, Alley Corrado, Madison Dickie, Hannah Allan, Mackenzie Schwinghammer, Payton Lewis, Natalie Hope, Paige Krivoshein, Courtney Gunn and Fiona Reha, The coaches are Brian Dewar and Brenda Dickie.

Osland third at B.C. Amateur, Inaba wins Mid-Am title Thanks in large part to the play of Megan Osland and Kyla Inaba, Kelowna golfers were a force to be reckoned with at the B.C. Women’s Amateur Golf Championship. Osland, of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club, and Inaba, who represents Gallagher’s Canyon, finished third and fourth, respectively, at the provincial tournament held last week at Christina Lake. Inaba also captured the Mid-Amateur title. Osland’s four round score of 7-under par 281—seven shots back of winner Christine Wong— included a blazing third round of 6-under par 66. The score stood for a short time as the course record, until Wong followed up later in the day with a 7-under 65. “I had the record for about 15 minutes, then Christine came along and
broke it,” Osland said with a laugh. “It still felt really good to put up a number like that.” A solid week of golf against B.C.’s best was an encouraging way for Osland to kick off the summer, after a strong freshman season at San Jose State University. “Basically my goal was to have four good rounds so I met that part of it,” Osland said. “With my year at university, I definitely have improved, the coaching has really helped me a lot, and I’ve learned quite a bit playing with the best players. I like where my game’s at.” Inaba, 25, who opened with a 69, finished in a tie for fourth at 3-under 285. Her victory in the MidAmatuer came in Inaba’s first year of eligibility. The Mid-Am is a 54-hole event for players 25 years
and older. The former captain of the UBC Thunderbirds, Inaba needed a three-hole playoff to edge out Christina Proteau of Port Alberni for the Jackie Little Trophy. Proteau is a former amateur and mid-amatuer champ and played last year in the U.S. Open “To win it the first time being eligible was pretty cool,” said Inaba, who plans on turning pro in September. “The playoff was exciting, it was nice to be in that situation against such a good player as Christina. It’s a really good next step for me and gets me going in the direction I want to be.” Osland’s and Inaba’s efforts over four days also helped zone 2 (Thompson Okanagan) capture the team title at the B.C. Championship. Inaba and Osland will both play in the Canadian

Meanwhile, Madison
WCL’s Falcons host Gems tonight jumped out to 1-0 lead in the fourth on an RBI hit by Kyle Moses, the Falcons exploded four runs in the fifth. The inning was highlighted by a two-run single by Andrew Firth, and two run double by Moses. The Knights crept close with three runs in the top of the sixth off starter Brandon Marris. But Greg Friesen iced the game with a two run home-run in the bottom of the sixth. The homer was Friesen’s fourth of the year, and the team’s league-leading 16th. Marris recorded his fifth win of the year to climb to 5-0. In the second game both teams received a great outing from their starters as hits were few and far between.
The Falcons had just three hits, non bigger than an RBI double from Moses. The Tracy, California native hit a 2-2 pitch into the left field corner to score Patrick Johnson from first base. Moses then scored on an RBI sac fly from Cameron Alvarado. The Falcons completed the sweep with a 2-0 win. Following Saturday’s action, the club was an impressive 13-2 at home. Falcons’ starter Cale Coshow threw 4 1/3 solid innings of shutout baseball, but left with a no-decision. Curtis Sawchuk picked up the win, his second of the year. Moses finished the doubleheader with four RBIs and two doubles.

SPORTS ▼ RUGBY
Crows second best, first year in B.C. Rugby League the regular campaign. In the Grand Final, Surrey hooker Matty Joyce caused the Crows all sorts of problems with his probing runs from dummy half and it was no surprise to see him score the first try of the game at the 18-minute mark after slipping through the defense on the blind side of the ruck. The conversion kick was unsuccessful so Surrey had taken the lead 4-0. It was only a matter of time before the bigger side took their opportunity from close range and second rower Chris Chalmers finished off an enter-
prising attacking play to score another try for Surrey. This time the conversion kick was successful and Surrey held their 10-0 advantage into the half time break. The second half started the same as the first with Kelowna toughing it out bravely for the first 19 minutes until the smart kicking game of Lincoln Whitaker-Bowman set up two identical tries in just six minutes. The Beavers led 20-0 with only 14 minutes left in the game. The Crows weren’t going to go quietly as a great try was scored out wide
by winger Dan Haynes after Tom Bloomberg created an opportunity with a great offload. The game ended 20-4 with Surrey Beavers taking out the first ever B.C. Rugby League Championship. Kelowna Crows were best served by Neil Fowler, Lawrence Ross, Daniel Blasco-Morris, Tom Bloomberg and Jeke Gotegote. Several of the Crows players will be involved in representative trial games during July before the announcement of the official squad for British Columbia Bulldogs.

▼ CURLING
Curling gets summer exposure Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Not traditionally considered a warm weather sport, curling got a little taste of summer over the last two weeks in Kelowna. For the first time since the early 1980s, the Kelowna Curling Club installed ice during the summer months, with nine sheets being put to use between June 22 and July 6. Thanks to two new dehumidification units, conditions were ideal over the two-week period, as the club hosted two camps and a Canada Day weekend bonspiel. “This was a test run this year, we wanted to know if the demand was there and see how people responded to it,” said Kelowna Curling Club manager Jock Tyre. “Next year, we’re looking at maybe opening up for three or four weeks, adding some more camps and hopefully having programs that will involve the city.” The first event the club hosted this summer was an ice-makers course, followed up by a fourday bonspiel featuring 18 teams—14 of those from outside the Okanagan— over the July 1 weekend. Then late last week, 72 curlers from across B.C. and as far away as Alberta attended Curl B.C.’s Rock Slide junior camp.

IT’S A LONG TIME BETWEEN THE END OF A CURLING SEASON AND THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ONE, SO THIS KIND OF CONNECTS THE DOTS. Gerry Richard.
Eleven coaches were on hand to provide on-ice technical and skills training to athletes between eight and 19 years of age. The off-ice component featured a sports psychologist, mental techniques, team building and team dynamics. Camp participants even spent part of the 3 1/2 day camp outdoors to enjoy wide range of activities. “It’s a real fun environment, a good mix of fun and learning,” said Brett Grunerud, a 13-year-old curler from Kamloops. “It’s amazing how much they’re able to cram into one day. “Inside, it’s been really good, the ice conditions are the same as during the winter. It’s really a neat thing to do, a lot of the other winter sports do it, so why not curling in the summer ? I’ll come back next year, for sure.” Curl B.C.’s Elisabeth Walker-Young oversaw the junior camp’s first stop in Kelowna and was en-
couraged by the response. “The summer camps is something different, something for kids who love the sport to get excited about,” said Walker Young-Walker, special project coordinator for Curl B.C. “We’re hoping to have more curlers in next year and follow it up at the end with a junior spiel.” One of the coaches at the junior was Kelowna’s Gerry Richard, a former Canadian and world champ, who likes the concept of summer camps. “It’s a long time between the end of a curling season and the beginning
of a new one, so this kind of connects the dots, you could say,” said Richard. “It’s a great idea, the club has stepped up, and it’s a great time to get different coaches together and exchange ideas.” With April, May and September being busy months with trade shows at the Kelowna Curling Club, Jock Tyre late June and July are the best time to host off-season curling camps and spiels. If the adequate revenue can be generated by remaining open, Tyre expects the ice to be in for as long as a month next summer.
Gavin Hamilton enjoy a moment with the Stanley Cup on Sunday at the Rockets’ office at Prospera Place in Kelowna. Dillabaugh, who is also in charge of goaltender development for the Los Angeles Kings, brought the cup to Kelowna where the public had a chance view hockey’s most sought-after trophy. Dillabaugh spent much of the playoffs in Los Angeles watching the team’s playoff run, and was there when the Kings secured the Stanley Cup last month with a win over New Jersey.

This quote echoes the sentiment of the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C., especially in Kelowna. Volunteers are a treasured resource that allow the society to provide a range of free services for families dealing with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Volunteers help the society with everything from making phone calls to caregivers to facilitating support groups. An estimated one in 11 B.C. residents over age 65 already live with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. And that number is projected to double over the next generation. With the need for assistance soaring, help from volunteers is critical for the non-profit organization. The need locally right now is for volunteers who can facilitate local support groups that meet each month. Volunteers are called upon to have: • excellent listening and empathetic skills • knowledge of dementia or a willingness to learn • facilitation skills or a willingness to learn • formal or informal caregiving an asset. Training is provided, and a one-year commitment is required. “The work is very rewarding,â€? said Donna O’Hearn, who volunteers locally as a support group facilitator. “Volunteering has given me the feeling that I can do something very positive in the midst of the difficult journey of dementia. I often feel I get far more back in return than I give.â€? Caregivers who work with the volunteers can vouch for the positive impact on their lives. “It is very challenging to even know where to begin,â€? added Joanne Roach, who provides care locally. “The Alzheimer Society not only opened doors for me, it gave me a new lease on life. I am no longer a lonely traveller but have connected with others with similar experiences and continue to learn on my journeyâ€?. For more information on the volunteer positions, contact Hallgren at 250-860-0305, toll-free 1-800-6343399 or mhallgren@alzheimerbc.org. Residents can get more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias by visiting www.alzheimerbc.org.

Cody is a great dog but will need to go on a diet until he drops some of his unhealthy poundage. If you become his new family please know that he is fearful of thunder and fireworks... so please ensure he is in a secure environment during those times. He knows some tricks and has been described as friendly, affectionate and rambunctious. Cody will make a great family companion and hiking partner. If you have the ideal home for him please come and see him in the backyard.
Hi my name is Beau! Very nice people were taking care of me, as I am declawed. I am a LOVEABLE boy and would do well with anyone. I am very mellow and love to be fussed over. I will need a home where my people understand the dangers of letting a declawed cat outdoors. Please come and spend some time getting to know me, if you have a loving ‘forever home’ to offer me.

Iggy’s owners developed allergies, so she is back at the shelter. She is very quiet, likes to play hide ‘n seek and interact with people once over her initial shyness. She is good with other felines and spent a lot of time with a small child in her last home. If you would like an easy-going mellow girl at your side, please call and ask the cat staff to set up a meeting with Iggy. (She has become a staff fav). Owner surrender
Armani’s family had to move out of province and they couldn’t take him with them. He is true ‘gentle giant’, very affectionate and has no problem letting you know it. He would be a wonderful ‘first’ cat or a best friend for children. He was an outdoor cat and tends to roam. If you would like to meet this great guy, come down and ask the staff to introduce you and your family. Owner surrendered

At certain points in the day, your vehicle can get up to 60+ Celsius, add on a few pounds of fur and your dog is on the fast track to death. Dogs and cats pant to release heat through their paws, which keeps them cool, but in the warmth of your car, this is not possible. So, leave your pet at home and your perky pooch will thank you!
If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately.

Lex is a very quiet individual who LOVES to interact with people. He is still a bit shy in his new surroundings, but is adjusting. A quiet home where he can enjoy gentleness and soft cuddles would fit him perfectly. He would love the chance to become your best friend, so please ask the staff for a meet and greet, and come spend some time with this little beauty.

Looking for a large snuggle buddy? Torque is a gorgeous guy who loves people, cat stuffies and is looking for an experienced and confident owner who will take time to set clear boundaries, so he can become more social and stable. We recommend if you are interested, to do research on both breeds as they are both powerful and dominant. Older children and no other pets would make for an ideal home so he can receive all the attention he deserves.
Bailey is very affectionate, enjoys head-butting, and is a bit timid of other cats and when she is first introduced. She has never known any other home except her first one, so is hoping for her “forever home”, where she can receive the undivided attention she craves, and the security she deserves. If you are interested in this sweet girl please come down to the shelter and meet her. Owner surrender

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen food for occasions There are always occasions, throughout the year, when you have to come up with party food, whether it’s wedding or baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, going away or retirement parties, barbecues or just get-togethers. One thing to keep in mind is the importance of doing everything possible ahead of time so you can relax and enjoy the event as your guests begin to arrive. Both these suggestions are perfect in that regard, although there are also foods you can make the day or a few days ahead. Some would have to be frozen in between, but just having some of the preparation done well ahead of time is a great stress-buster as the big day gets closer. Dips and spreads offer plenty of variety and just need a tray, basket or bowl of crackers or a special bread, sliced up, to finish off the presentation. And, there are an endless variety of spreads, from seafood ones to meat and liver ones; to a wide variety of cheese and vegetable spreads, including the cheese ball, which can be shaped to look pretty terrific as well. Finger foods such as pickles and olives are always a hit, especially if you made them yourself, and then there are tapenades and antipasto which can be spread on a cracker as well. Best to let your guests do the spreading or the crackers can get soggy pretty quickly. For a bunch of ideas for dips and spreads, including a delicious cheese ball recipe, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available wherever books are sold. It includes margin notes on local wine pairings by renowned wine writer John Schreiner, so you can’t go wrong there either. It’s summer, so enjoy the patio and deck with friends and family, and good food. JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
Dani's Fruit Arrangement Shrimp Spread This is delicious on crackers or slices of cucumber or baguette, or stuffed into crisp little appetizer cases, like baby tomatoes or tiny peppers or wonton wrappers crisped up in the oven first, curved up into a cup shape. I served it at a barbecue recently and everyone wanted the recipe, so here it is. Pair this with the 2011 Mission Hill Family Estate Five Vineyards Pinot Blanc. Its refreshing citrus and orchard fruit flavours are perfect with the citrus and creamy cheese in this spread, and the delicate shrimp. 8 oz. (227 g) cream cheese 1/3 c. (75 ml) mayonnaise 1 tbsp. (15 ml) white wine 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) lemon juice 2 green onions
1/2 tsp. (2 ml) Worcerstershire sauce 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) fresh-ground black pepper 8 oz. (227 g) shrimp I use whipped cream cheese, but if you use a brick, warm it up a little to soften it first. Beat it with mayonnaise, dry white wine, lemon juice, minced green onion, Worcerstershire sauce, salt and pepper until thoroughly mixed. Carefully stir in fresh shrimp so you don’t mush them up too much. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving, so the flavours mellow. Reserve a few shrimp to garnish the top, along with a sprig of chives or a sprinkle of minced parsley.
This is a very striking centrepiece for any occasion. Simply vary the base into which you put your foam for holding the skewers, or wrap it with a different sort of wrapping paper. This one was for a baby shower and it looked very elegant and dramatic, and tasted scrumptious. strawberries cherries blackberries dragon fruit grapes orange segments watermelon canteloupe honeydew melon kiwi mango pineapple wooden skewers florist foam for base container
container decoration such as lettuce, wrapping paper or tissue, ribbon Cut the skewers into slightly different lengths, so all the fruit ‘flowers’ aren’t bunched together. Use whatever fruit interests you, but above are some suggestions of firm-textured fruit which should work well. If it’s made ahead of the occasion, avoid fruits which will brown when exposed to air, such as bananas and most apples. Leave fruit such as strawberries, cherries, blackberries and grapes whole, except pit the cherries. Segment the oranges and peel dragon fruit, kiwi and mango. Use a melon baller to scoop out balls from the melons or cut the pulp into shapes such as cubes or hearts, for which you could use a cookie cutter. Cube the kiwi, pineapple, mango and dragon fruit. Then, just use your imagination to create a colourful, edible bouquet. Serve with a fruit dip alongside.
