Famed aerial Cable wake park owner anxious to reopen team returning to Kelowna Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The Snowbirds will be back in the sky over Kelowna next month. The Royal Canadian Airforce’s aerial acrobatics team will present its full 35-minute show— the same one presented at airshows across North America—over Okanagan Lake starting at 4 p.m., Aug. 1. While the aerial manoeuvres will be seen from just about anywhere on the downtown lakeshore, or across the lake on the Westside, the best vantage point is expected to be Waterfront Park, say organizers. The famed flyers, who performed here last summer in support of the Rotary Club, have added the Kelowna stop to their 2012 schedule as part of their support for the CHILD Foundation, an organization that raises money for children with intestinal and liver diseases. The Snowbirds have been official ambassadors of the Child CONTRIBUTED Foundation for the last THE Snowbirds in flight 10 years. formation. According to event chairwoman Lisa Merrick, in addition to the public show, there will be two invite-only events, a luncheon for children who suffer from Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and other liver disorders and their parents at Kelowna Flightcraft at the airport on July 31 when the Snowbirds arrive. In addition to lunch, the children will get to meet the pilots, ask them questions and will be taken out onto the tarmac to get an up-close look at the planes. Following the Aug. 1 show, an invite-only dinner for VIPs and sponsors of the event will take place at the Delta Grand Hotel. See Aerial A4

Whiplash Cable Wake Park was knocked down by a wave of bad news Friday in the form of a provincial shut-down order. But tides could turn back in its favour as early as next week. Conrad Wiker, owner of Whiplash, said a representative of the provincial government gave him a cease and desist order at 4 p.m. last Friday. According to Steve Thomson, B.C. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Mission, Whiplash didn’t have a valid licensing or tenuring arrangement. He said that the province had to shut the business down until the appropriate tenuring was put in place. “For liability and insurance reasons, that step needed to be taken. What’s unfortunate is that it had to be taken in the timing that it did,� Thomson said. The minister explained he has directed his regional staff to expedite the licensing process because Whiplash is currently missing out on a peak time for business. “We’re working at a top priority to get them the appropriate tenure approval for their operation and to have them back in business as quickly as possible,� Thomson said. The minister wouldn’t give an exact estimation
tinue),� said Wiker. “Unfortunately, the shutdown may cause us to be in a financial position where we may not be able to open.� Wiker said the cease and desist order came as a shock to him. “We believed that we were operating 100 per cent legal. We never chose to do anything illegal or wanted to do anything illegal,� said Wiker. But Thomson said discussions had taken place prior to the business being shut down last week. “I think that they were aware of the requirements. I think there was some awareness that they potentially didn’t have the appropriate authorization for the business they wanted to operate,� said Thomson. “That being said, that’s history and not what I’m focusing on at this point. “What I’m focusing on is having my staff in the region do everything they can as quickly as they can to get them into the appropriate tenure.� Whiplash first opened to the public June 30. The park includes a beginner and expert cable that can accommodate those riding on a wakeboard, kneeboard, wakeskate or pair of water skis. Wiker said he was happy with the number of customers through two weeks of operation.

Gang founder pleads guilty in cocaine trafficking case A former Kelowna resident credited with co-founding the infamous United Nations gang, pleaded guilty to a trafficking charge Wednesday. Douglas Edward Vanalstine, 52, of Kelowna, along with Abbotsford resident Daryl Robert Johnson, 33, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to trafficking cocaine in B.C. Supreme Court. Charges against a third alleged UN Gang member, Nicholas Christopher Wester of Abbotsford, were dropped as part of a plea bargain. The three were among five people arrested in Abbotsford in November 2009 following an undercover operation, known as Project E-Pintle, that was headed by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. Also arrested that day were Red Scorpions’ member Jarrod Bacon and associate Wayne Scott, who both went on trial for conspiracy to traffic
cocaine and were found guilty in February of this year. Bacon received a 12year sentence, which the Crown is appealing, seeking a longer term. Scott’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for Sept. 19 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. CFSEU Chief Officer Dan Malo said that during the course of the investigation, Vanalstine and Johnson met with a police agent on several occasions to facilitate the purchase of 100 kilograms of cocaine from Mexico. The pair provided a $100,000 down payment and took delivery of 100 kilograms of a placebo. Their sentencing hearing is scheduled for Nov. 5. Vanalstine is believed to have co-founded the UN gang with Clay Roueche, who’s currently serving a 30-year prison sentence in the United States for drug charges. He was arrested in the U.S. in May 2008.

Barista says competition was a learning experience Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Chalk it up to experience. Dawn-Luv Charles, owner of the Bean Scene coffee shop in Kelowna, competed at the Prairie Canadian Barista Championships in Calgary on the weekend but did not come away the winner.
While she admits she was not even in contention, it would not have mattered anyway. When she arrived in Calgary she was informed that while she could participate, because she was competing in a different region than the one she is from (B.C.), she could not win and go on to represent the Prairies in the
Canadian Barista Championships in Toronto later this year. “But I learned lots and I’m happy I went,” said Charles, who begged the organizers to let her compete because she was away when the B.C. championships were held earlier this year in Vancouver. At that time, she was was travelling in Italy on
a trip her husband won for the couple on the U.S. television game show The Price Is Right. Charles said the judges at the Calgary competition took an hour out of the schedule to talk with her after the competition and give her pointers for future competitions, advice she said will be invaluable in the future.
The Calgary competition required baristas to prepare four espresso, cappuccino and signature drinks in 15 minutes. Charles’ signature drink, a salted caramel espresso, won praise from the judges and may show up on the Bean Scene’s menu of cogee drinks in future, she said. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

STAFF REPORTER
A Kelowna man’s attempt to evade police was foiled by Facebook, but where social media failed him, the courts offered
support. Jeremy Andrew Aiken was in court Tuesday to deal with Motor Vehicle Act and Criminal Code violations resulting from leading Kelowna RCMP in a chase—and smashing through other cars in his way— July. 6, 2011. It started with a simple speed trap, where traffic cops spotted Aiken’s yellow truck blowing past limits near the bridge on Highway 97. They tried to wave him over, the court heard during a Tuesday afternoon sentencing, but he then increased speed and shifted into the curb lane, away from them. In an area where traffic was backed up, police then saw a plume of dust rising and they followed in that direction. Once they arrived, they came upon a van, that had been smashed in the back-end. The owners explained to police that they had been hit once, then the same yellow truck that hit first, accelerated into them
again, pushing them out of the way and speeding onward. Despite aches and pains from the impact, the couple in the van were able to offer police a description of the truck and its licence plate number— and police continued on in the truck’s wake. Witnesses spotted it speeding through a mobile home park, before it ultimately went down a slight slope. By the time police arrived, the vehicle had been vacated, with only a dog and a BlackBerry left behind. The police officer on the scene checked the Blackberry and learned it belonged to Aiken—the name that matched the truck. Two hours later, Aiken conveniently updated his Facebook status, saying his truck “had been stolen the night before.” Police, however, didn’t believe that and the wheels were set in motion to press charges of Failure to stop at an
and a dangerous operation of motor vehicle. An MVA charge of failing to stop for police resulting in pursuit was also applied. It wasn’t Aiken’s first brush with the law. He has several other minor charges against him, and a lengthy record of driving infractions. But, he told the court, that was then, and now he’s an upstanding citizen, “I was going through some life and relationship problems,” he told the judge. “Everything compounded all at once and it went the wrong way. I’m trying to veer back the right way.” It was a sentiment the judge seemed to see value in. Crown counsel had asked for a five year driving suspension and four months of jail, but Aiken instead got 30 hours of community service, a three year driving suspension and a five month conditional sentence, which will run parallel to another he’s already serving.

PROMOTING ROAD SAFETY…Kelowna RCMP Const. Tim Monteith has enjoyed a fulfilling career with the RCMP, spanning nearly 20 years and counting. For most of his service, Monteith has been involved in traffic enforcement and has been plying his trade in Kelowna over the last 12 years. Around 2006, a school bus safety program was initiated and Monteith started heading out with school buses locally to enforce the Motor Vehicle Act and increase the safety of school children. Monteith noticed that enforcement alone really wasn’t getting the job done and so, in conjunction with media students from Rutland Middle School, several Public Service Announcement videos were produced. Monteith was recently honored by the Association of School Transportation Services of B.C. by being asked to speak at their 47th annual conference last week. “We were so impressed with his work, especially his involvement with the Public Service Announcements, that we invited him to speak to our members at our conference,” said Dennis Powell, president of the ASTSBC. “This just reaffirms to me that what we do out there every day has a huge positive effect on our communities,” said Monteith.

ith the Okanagan summer tourist season in full swing, the invasion of Alberta tourists is a reminder of the different economic realities for our two provinces. With our prairie neighbours enjoying another boom cycle in the oil and gas industry, Alberta is once again a have-province. Meanwhile, we in B.C. are mired in the have-not camp, but before us lies an economic opportunity to enjoy some spin-off benefits from Alberta by signing
on to the Enbridge dual oil an natural gas pipelines proposed to connect the tarsands industry development to Kitimat. But there are concerns about this pipeline project, in particular about what exposure our environment will face should any pipeline accident leaks occur. On Tuesday, a group calling itself the Kootenay to Kitimat Caravan, started their trek to northwest B.C. in Kelowna, intent on raising concerns about the proposed Enbridge pipeline project.
The fact that accidents can happen is just a reality, but how Enbridge is prepared to deal with that probability needs be questioned. The company’s cleanup and containment responses to two recent oil spills in Alberta and Michigan were not very impressive. And any argument that the cost of such measures is prohibitive shouldn’t hold water. Shareholders of oil and gas companies in Alberta are enjoying rich dividends, and the employees are earning humongous hourly wages. Some of
that money can and should be directed instead towards environment protection measures. We are currently being brainwashed in Canada, as are American in the U.S., that environment regulations are stifling investment. Again, the reality is, if anything, those regulations needs to be more strongly adhered to, a balance against the demand to pony up oil and gas profits for workers and shareholders. Protecting our environment should not be an after-thought.

Hitting the information highway with a new tool on board
B
y the time you read this I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives. Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count. A similar trip last year began just as a huge mudslide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traffic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume
delays. This time I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smartphones. In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million visits a month, about half to the five-year-old desktop site and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website. I asked DriveBC technical leader Nainesh Agarwal for these stats,
and he said even he was
VICTORIAsurprised by the surge in VIEWSmobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal. With a few clicks, the Tomphone displays incident reFletcherports and web camera images for my chosen route. Webcams have been added steadily all over the province, and now watch 18 key locations on Vancouver Island, 93 in the Lower Mainland, 73 in the Southern Interior, 35 in the North and 13 at Canada-U.S. border crossings. At a glance, you can check anything from the traffic at the
Lions Gate Bridge to the lineup for the Skidegate ferry on Haida Gwaii. Most pictures update every two minutes, offering a real-time look at traffic, weather and road conditions. A recent addition is “replay the day,” which shows the last 24 hours of pictures in a few seconds. Another new feature is an email alert that can be customized. You can subscribe to a particular region or highway and receive notices as soon as they are posted to the DriveBC network. And of course there is an @ drivebc Twitter feed, where between 6:30 a.m. and midnight, staff update conditions and respond to inquiries. (Major events are automatically
tweeted overnight.) Verified reports are fed from highways staff and contractors all over the province and co-ordinated through the provincial highways condition centre in the Lower Mainland. It’s become a primary source of information for radio and TV traffic and news re- j porters around B.C. The mobile service now has an option for drivers to report new problems they encounter. After determining your smartphone’s location, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report.

â–ź WEST KELOWNA
See katsura trees before they’re cut down To the editor: My family has lived on Gellatly Road for over 45 years and I remember when the waterfront road had nothing but rocks on the shore. A group of community-minded residents pooled their resources together and planted 40 katsura trees in order to provide shade and a pathway along the waterfront at Gellatly Bay. Now, nearly 20 years later, this row of katsura trees have survived all these years to their current maturity, which is an awesome sight. We should have great pride in this line of
trees as they are a very unusual and special species. An arbourist hired by the city of West Kelowna recommends the trees be replaced. Published in the Capital News (Don Burnett column, June 7), certified arbourist, certified tree-risk assessor and landscape designer Don Burnett believes the katsura trees are thriving better than ever. Surely there is a way to work around these beautiful trees. Recent problems with trees planted at nearby Willow Beach last fall, and
again this spring (now all failing) brings me to question whether replacement trees would actually do any better. I believe destroying this established row of trees will not solve the bigger picture problem of widening Gellatly Road. Sadly, our West Kelowna council has decided otherwise. Please come out to see these trees along the Gellatly Bay waterfront for yourself before they get destroyed. Lois Bennett, West Kelowna
â–ź FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
They would have been passed with the support of all parties if the Conservatives had not been preoccupied with their “anti-crime� and F35 priorities. In contrast, the budget bill eliminated or fundamentally changed some 70 pieces of legislation, mostly completely unconnected to the budget. It removed protection of the environment and marine habitat, changed the EI system and the OAS, and will allow the Prime Minister and the PMO to approve any pipeline or other energy-related project without reference to scientific scrutiny.
The fact that the B.C. Conservative MPs supported the sell-out of environmental protection in this province, where such protection is a priority, will not be forgotten. As David Wilks, Conservative MP for Kootenay-Columbia, said to his constituents, Conservative Party caucus MPs are told when to vote and for what, much like a throng of trained seals, no questions or hesitation allowed. And we thought they represent their constituents and the interests of British Columbians. Harri Henschler, West Kelowna

B.C. MPs toe the party line, no questions asked To the editor: It is pathetically obvious that the Conservative MPs, our local ones included, are attempting to distance themselves from the omnibus budget bill. They gush poetically about two pieces of legislation, which now lie dormant since the House is on another vacation, namely the removal of foreign criminals and the RCMP complaints commission. Both of these are mere house-keeping matters, they have been around waiting to be addressed since the Harper government came to power six years ago.

tion has placed this upon us. Is this where self-government steps over the line? As Mayhew says in his letter, just where does greed quit? One might wonder why this signage problem wasn’t cleaned up on the Westside when all the
land negotiations were going on with the WFN and provincial government—an opportunity if there ever was one, don’t you think? And MP Dan Albas (Okanagan-Coquihalla): What is this all about that you wold be so bold as to have your own photo-
ad up there on a billboard with all these other fine folks? Why would you become part of the problem in your position? We must not use cell phones while driving even though our eyes are still on the road, but we can take our eyes off the road to read these signs. How
about the progressive flashing sign that calls out “watch me, watch me.� Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? Am I missing something here?

Also toll-free access to DriveBC Fletcher from A6 For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an old-fashioned option. Dialing 511 anywhere in the province gives access to a tollfree line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages. Agarwal said use of that service has been de-
clining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving. The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use
during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

â–ź TAKING A BREAK
Lessons learned from a genuine summer vacation
W
hen I left a Kelowna law partnership 18 months ago to start up my own practice, one of my objectives was to take more time off work. Having more vacation
time may not be part of the normal entrepreneurial model, but it was one of my main goals. A month ago, I started my first true “summer vacation� in more years than I care to remember.

One of my reasons for wanting a sustained break during the summer months is my powerful memory of summer holidays as a child. There was never any doubt in my mind that the best thing about school was summer vacation. So, I took a month off. I really didn’t do much, in the formal sense. Other than a couple of weekend road trips, I pretty much stayed around town, slept in when I felt like it, stayed up late when I felt like it, did some chores around the house, and enjoyed not having a schedule to follow. I also learned a few things. Or, perhaps, relearned. Household chorewise, I learned that the first and last weeks of vacation are the most productive. I commenced my break with a lengthy list of things “to get done around the house�—all those things I’ve been procrastinating about for the last year or so—
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson and, powered by my selfpromise to be productive while off work, I tackled them with a vengeance. Week two, however, saw a substantial drop in productivity, and week three was even worse. Then week four spawned a level of urgency that got me back in gear and I diligently polished off every household task I could find. As with many projects, I suppose the time required to perform the jobs expanded to fill the time allotted. I also learned, for the umpteenth time, that jobs requiring spraying are usually better left to professionals. I don’t know why I repeatedly fall into the trap of thinking that spray finishes are something I can
do competently. I wanted to apply a frosted finish to a sidelight window in my home and the helpful person at Home Depot informed me there are stick-on applications and also sprayon solutions. The spray-on was about a quarter of the price of the stick-on so, of course, I said to myself, “Really, how difficult can this be?� So I headed home with inexpensive spray bomb in hand. Well, much taping, spraying and ingesting of fumes later, I ended up with an uneven finish which looked like it was applied by an unskilled guy with a can of RustOleum (which is precisely what it was). A week later, after scrubbing off the sprayedon frosting (and ingesting more fumes), the window now looks great because I started over with the stickon version. The end result? I have a fine-enough looking frosted window, spent way more time and money than the project really
required, and I’m left with a half-full can of spray frosting which will sit unused in my garage for the next several decades. I also learned from my vacation that wet weather is a good thing. To a point. And hot weather is also a good thing. To a point. I learned that go-karting is a lot of fun. But, I wonder, why do 15-yearold boys think that the objective is to run everyone else off the track? It’s as if they were born with a predisposition to cause other drivers to spin out. Maybe this is why young, newly-licensed, male drivers have the highest vehicle accident rate. I was unable to convince my son that “t-boning� every other driver on the track is not the objective. Maybe auto insurers should pay attention to the mayhem happening on our local go-kart tracks and start brainwashing away at, say, age 10, our son’s desire to smash into things.

On the subject of driving, I learned anew that road trips are a good thing. There is something therapeutic about the open road and the accompanying hours of isolation from the world. It is, I think, the same reason why I like airport lounges. I feel unreachable, on my own, detached from the concerns and obligations of day-today life. One thing I can’t figure out, however, is why we have to drive slowly through highway construction zones on weekends and holidays when there is no work going on. Twice in the last few weeks, on different B.C. highways, I’ve encountered construction zones in which the speed limit was reduced to 60 km/ hour for lengthy stretches. But, due to it being a holiday or a weekend, there was not a single worker, flagger, bulldozer or paving machine in sight. There was just a whole pack of irritated drivers crawling along, at a ridiculously slow speed, asking where the construction was and wondering if we really needed to be observing the reduced speed limit. Couldn’t highway road crews remove or cover up the reduce speed signs when they aren’t actually going to be there doing something resembling construction? To make matters worse, in one such zone there was a police speed trap just waiting for some impatient fool to come zooming through. Talk about adding insult to injury. I also rediscovered that doing nothing is good for us. The brain needs downtime. Well, mine does, anyway. As I look ahead to returning to work this week, I can’t exactly call myself “refreshed,� but I can say that my mind feels substantially quieter than it did a month ago. That is, I think, a good thing. Finally, I remembered that summer vacation is a great thing and so I’m already looking forward to next year. For those school administrators who are tinkering with the concept of creating a continuous school year, please don’t take summer vacation away from our kids! www.smithsonlaw.ca

here are two ways to count how many students are attending a B.C. college or university. The first type is called the full-tme equivalent (FTE) count which is a government-determined measure that relates to how much funding a school receives. This formula takes into account part-time students, short courses and part-time programs. The other count is SCHOOL’S simply called the head IN count which is how many unique individual students are actually at the institution. This number doesn’t Jane take into account all stuMuskens dents as it does not include those enrolled in continuing studies short courses such as first-aid upgrading, for fun language courses, and other self-interest non-credit courses. Usually the FTE number is smaller than the head count. For example for the school year of fall 2009 and winter 2010, province-wide the FTE count was 203,896 students studying at public colleges and universities in the province of B.C. The head count for this same period of time was 259,585. Since 2009 both the FTE and the student head counts have increased—this past year (fall 2011 and winter 2012) the FTE count was 206,494 and the head count was 271,745. Overall in the last few years, FTE counts went up 1.27 per cent and head counts increased by 4.68 per cent. The government also looks at the number of college and university students enrolled at the regional level. Due to sheer population, the Lower Mainland has the highest number of post-secondary students with an overall head count for last year sitting at 176,825. This is followed by Vancouver Island at 45,995. The Thompson-Okanagan comes in third with 31,520 college and university students. This number includes those students studying at Okanagan College, UBC’s Okanagan campus, Thompson Rivers University and the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology. After these regions are accounted for, the numbers drop of significantly. The Cariboo region, which includes the two post-secondary institutions in Prince George, has a head count of 7,345, the Kootenays come in at 6,910, followed by the North at 3,140 students. The government also counts the number of credentials public post-secondary institutions award on a yearly basis. Since 2008, the number of degrees, diplomas and certificates awarded by public post-secondary institutions in the province increased by 5.65 per cent. The largest increase was in the Thompson-Okanagan region where in 2008, 5,225 credentials were conferred compared to 6,320 in 2010, which is a 20.96 per cent increase. Most areas saw an increase in credentials, except for the North which had a slight decline of 1.72 per cent. Although these numbers are interesting they don’t always give you the full picture. They can fluctuate for a number of reasons depending on such things as the number of seats the government is willing to fund at each of the colleges and universities. Okanagan College has had increases in both FTE and head counts due to increased government funding in the last five years targeting our practical nursing program and providing support to launch a new two-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing program where students transfer to year three of the program to UBC’s Okanagan campus. Depending on the college or university, the local economy, the ability to attract international students and a number of other variables can impact these numbers. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

Mel was a great community leader. Personal condolences to his wife Dina, his entire family and many friends.

That is the best way to properly and confidently choose a knife. The knives range from a great value to the ultra-high-end collectables. Prices for individual knives start at $60 and can go up to $4,000. The average price point is in the $150 to $250 range. Knifewear also holds both sharpening and knife cutting classes.

Lake wants ‘cohesive’ Sun team
Top international coaches at camp
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Look for Gavin Lake to be emphasizing much more than just technical skills and drill execution when the Okanagan Sun opens up its 2012 training camp on Friday night. For the first-year head coach, nothing will be more crucial for his players than embracing the team concept, and playing the game with passion. “When you look at different teams, there really isn’t a significant difference in talent, skill, speed, size, and so on,� said Lake, who was hired by the Sun in late March. “Ultimately what it comes down to is the attitude, the heart, the karma that a team has that determines how successful they are. “None of these guys are getting paid, so if you don’t have a happy, cohesive locker room, then you really don’t have much,� Lake added. “If you don’t love the game, this locker room isn’t for you. That’s where we want to start, and we’ll build on that.� Lake expects a passionate collection of between 75 and 85 players to suit up for main camp which begins Friday night at the Apple Bowl/Parkinson practise fields. Lake, who has been on the job full-time since May 1, takes over a team with perennially high expectations, a Sun club that hasn’t won a B.C. Football Conference title in eight years. General manager Jay Christensen said Lake— who has CFL, CIS and European experience— brings some much needed coaching attributes to his first Sun training camp. “I think one his strengths is he’s really got the players excited, he’s a

But you can already feel a chemistry there that we didn’t really have last year. He has spoke to team chemistry quite a lot, and that’s really a priority for him.â€? As for the talent pool

the new coach will have to work with at his first Sun camp, Lake is encouraged by the depth at two positions in particular. “Our offensive skill positions are what really jumps out and me, both at receiver and running back,� said Lake. “We really have standouts all across the board, I expect some great competition in both areas.� Even without veteran Danny Turek (University of Manitoba), Lake
said Sun QBs, including incumbent Jeremy Joseph-Mraovic, will have no shortage of talented receivers to throw to in 2012. Veteran returnees Ben White, Bobby Davis, Tommy Howes will be joined by the likes of newcomer Nico Sokolowski (Acadia) and second-year Kelowna product Kyle Patchell as no fewer than 15 receivers are expected at camp. “We’ll have at least a
dozen guys who can play, so competition will be intense,� Lake said. At running back, Alex Bradley (360 yards) returns for his second season, while newcomers Evan Petrie (Acadia) and Robert Giorno (UBC) will add explosiveness to the mix. “We’ve got three legitimate tailbacks, so that’s a nice way to head into training camp,� Lake said. Led by CJFL defensive player of the year Steven Doege, Lake said the D-line will also be an area of considerable strength. Returnee Devon Kozar along with newcomers Zak Ironstand (Saskatoon), Terrence Mendes (Acadia), and Sean Mason (Manitoba) are all part of a group Lake said consists of “sheer quality.� Three-year veteran Brandon Donkers leads a linebacking corps that will feature several new faces, and an area of the club that Lake insists there are “no locks on positions.� Robbie Yochim, Blake Butler and Landon King are back in the defensive secondary where newcomer Jack Rush (Niagara Falls/Acadia) will look to make an impact. Evan McCann and Curtis Demelo are returning veterans on an offensive line which should feature plenty of youth and as many as 15 bodies during training camp. Training camp will continue Saturday and Sunday with two sessions per day, and will wrap up with a controlled scrimmage on Sunday at 3 p.m. The Sun will play an exhibition game Saturday, July 28 in Salmon Arm against the Kamloops Broncos.

A vast and varied array of coaching styles from around the world will merge in the city next week for the second annual Kelowna United International Soccer Camp. Former Chelsea FC youth development coach Jeff Bookman will head up a highly-regarded cast of six international instructors from July 23 to 27 at the Parkinson Rec Centre fields. Bookman, who lives in New York and is technical director for Inside Soccer, brought the inaugural edition of the camp to the Okanagan last summer.
CONTRIBUTED
RODOLFO RODRIGUEZ from Argentina, is one of six international coaches here next week for the Kelowna United International Soccer Camp.
Kids in the U10 to U18 age groups will also be exposed to the football knowledge of former Boca Juniors coach in Argentina, Rodolfo Rodriguez, Scottish FA coach Ian Fergus, Lee Johnson from Chelsea FC, Sporting Lisbon’s (Portugal) Pedro Goncalves, and Michael Speight from FC Kongsberg in Norway. “For parents and players in our community, you’re not going to see a better group of coaches in one place at one time,� said Kelowna United technical Dante Zanatta. “You have coaches that cover the whole spectrum of soccer, with different styles from the various countries. It’s all about the continued development of players in our region.� In addition to learning from some of the world’s finest soccer minds, Zanatta said players will be able to audition their talents. “It’s an opportunity for some of our young players to be scouted,� added Zanatta. “Some of the coaches do the I.D. part of the job for their clubs, so there might be players that each of them want to look at.� There will be morning and afternoon sessions at Parkinson, as players will rotate through each coach’s instructional sessions over the five-day camp. The cost per player is $285. There will also be a goalkeeping component, as participants will be taught the finer points of the position through the Simon Smith Goalkeeping Academy.

Martin takes Ogopogo Eight Falcons
cited for WCL all-star game
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
In his 10 years as a member, Keith Martin enjoyed many fine moments on the course at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club. Few can rival the thrill of his victory on Saturday afternoon at the Ogopogo Invitational. The 23-year-old Martin emerged from a twohole playoff with the Okanagan Golf Club’s Greg Forbes to capture the 2012 edition of the storied tournament at KGCC in just his fourth appearance. “It means so much to me to win this tournament and to win it at this club,” said Martin, a KSS and UBC Okanagan grad who turned pro this year. “I was a junior member here, and I even caddied at this tournament a couple of times, so it was a tournament I always wanted to do well in. It’s my first sort of big win since turning pro, so it really does mean a lot to me.” After rounds of 68 and 67, Martin opened the third and final round with a five-stroke advantage. But the lead would slip as Martin carded a 2-over 74, while Forbes finished up with a 68. The two ended 54 holes of regulation play at 7-under 209, one stroke better than Tyler Pitt and two ahead of Doug Rox-

On the first sudden death playoff hole, the 15th, Martin’s attempted birdie putt lipped out, and both players settled for par. On the 16th, after both players drove the ball to the right off the tee, Forbes encountered some tree trouble. Martin found himself on the green with two putts for the win, and made no mistake. “I kind of had a tough back nine, so to come
back and get the win in the playoff was nice,” said Martin. “It was a fun weekend, I really enjoyed it.” Martin, who works at the Northview Golf Club in Vancouver, will officially get his pro career under way in January when he moves to Phoenix. Martin will play on the Gateway Tour beginning in 2013. He will also attend the Canadian Tour’s qualifying school in May in California.
The Kelowna Falcons will have the most representatives of any team at next week’s West Coast League all-star game. Eight members of the Falcons have been named to the East Division squad for the annual mid-season classic, set for Tuesday, July 24 at Borleske Stadium in Walla Walla, Wash. Catcher Jerry McClanahan will be joined in the infield by first baseman Greg Friesen, second baseman Jace Conrad and shortstop Patrick Johnson for the all-star game. Kyle Pearson, the Falcons’ leading hitter, was named in the outfield while three Kelowna pitchers will make the trip to Walla Walla—Brandon Marris, Cord Cockrell and Phil Maton. The Corvallis Knights were second to the Falcons with seven selections. The players were selected by fan voting, recommendations from Major League scouts, and voting by league coaches. Marris player of week For the second time this summer, pitcher Brandon Marris of the Falcons is the West Coast League’s
player of the week. The 21-year-old junior from Southeastern Oklahoma was cited for his performance last Friday night in Wenatchee as the Falcons shutout the Apple Sox 5-0. Marris tossed 8 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and striking out six for his league-leading sixth win of the season. Marris (6-0) has 33 strikeouts (sixth in WCL) and a 1.96 ERA, the fourth lowest total in the league.
ERNST DONE The Falcons will be without the services of David Ernst for the remainder of the WCL campaign. The 6-foot-3 righthanded pitcher from North Dakota State has returned home to have surgery performed on his hand. Ernst (2-1 with a 2.58 ERA) was stellar in his last start, pitching 7 1/3 innings and allowing just one unearned run in a 4-3 11-inning loss Sunday in Wenatchee. The Falcons will close out a four-game series Thursday night at Elks Stadium against the Bellingham Bells as the two

Peewee Cubs win VOC The Kelowna peewee AA Cubs found the familiar surroundings very much to their liking at the 2012 Valley of Champions baseball tournament. The Cubs emerged from a tough, 12-team draw to win the gold medal on Sunday afternoon at the Mission sports fields with a 15-5 victory in the final over West Kelowna. The Cubs finished the round robin with a 3-1 record, then knocked off Rutland 6-1 in the first crossover playoff game. Kelowna coach Mike Chamberlain credited his team with an all-round solid performance, particularly by the pitching staff. “We have tons of pitching, a lot of depth in that area and it showed all weekend long,” Chamberlain said. “We hit the ball all weekend too, so it was a pretty good effort from the whole team.” The peewee AA Cubs are: Adam Saranfinchan, Wyatt Head,Matt Wyatt,

Heat U14 strike B.C. fastball gold The Kelowna Heat couldn’t have chosen a better time to play some of their best fastball of the 2012 season. The Heat posted a 9-1 record en route to capturing the gold medal at the Softball B.C. U14 B girls championship last weekend in Maple Ridge. Still, Kelowna didn’t do it the easy way, having to play four games on Sunday, and coming from behind in both the semifinal and final games. In the gold medal game, the peewee Heat avenged their only loss of the tournament with a 4-1 victory over the Surrey Storm. After Surrey took a 1-0 lead in the first, the Heat answered with two in the fourth as Tova Turnbull doubled home Emma Gilbert and Emma Lewis. The Heat struck for two insurance runs in the top of the seventh, as Gilbert drove home Shayla Tyerman, and Lewis singled to score Candice Vuong. Pitcher Michaela Epp earned the win with a sol-

Kelowna posted a 4-0 record in the round robin, beating South Delta, North Delta, Abbotsford and Vancouver. The Heat then went 5-1 in the playoffs, their lone defeat coming at the hands of the Storm, 2-1. In the semifinal, Kelowna edged Cloverdale 3-2. The gold medal-champion Heat are: Ann-Marie Crandlemire, Nicole Fedorak, Gina Selfe, Shayla Tyerman, Emma Lewis, Cassidy Floritto, Tova Turnbull , Breanna Handley, Candice Vuong, Megan McGillivray, Sara Miki ,
Emma Gilbert, Michaela Epp and Emma Wilton. The coaches are: Doug Fisher and Boyd Tyerman, and the manager is Kevin Fedorak.
HEAT U16… The Kelowna Heat turned in a fourth-place showing out of a tough field of 16 teams at the Softball B.C. U16 B girls championship last weekend in Duncan. The Heat went 3-1 in the round robin, then opened the playoffs Saturday with a 6-0 win over Strawberryvale. On Sunday, Kelowna lost 5-4 to Fleetwood, defeated Surrey Storm 6-1,
then fell again to Strawberryvale 9-3 to settle for fourth spot. “We were hoping for a little better finish but the girls played really well in a very tough tournament,” said Heat coach Darran Light. “There was at least seven teams that could have won this tournament. As strong a showing as we have seen before.” Offensively, Shea Skarbo had a huge weekend with 19 RBIs, nine runs scored and a .481 average. Brett Needham batted .692 and scored 14 of her team’s 60 runs. Julia Lambert and Sydney Williamson each won two games pitching, while Tessa Barbour won the other. Under normal circumstances, the top two teams would qualify for Western Canadians U16 B girls championship. But because two of the top four teams didn’t fill out a Softball B.C. letter of intent, the Heat have earned a spot at Westerns next month in Strathmore, Alta.

Car Insurance. Protect yourself from smash and grab thieves. Summer is here again, and you’ll probably find you’re using the car more, for going on road trips, or camping or a day jaunt to your favourite beach. Naturally, items like sunglasses, camping gear, shopping bags and cell phones for example also find their way into your vehicle. But what happens when you get back to your car from a day of fun and find the window shattered, the door forced and items are missing. If this happens, what’s covered by car insurance and what is not? While your car insurance covers many things, it usually does not extend to loss of your personal contents in the car. In addition to losing your personal property, a break-in can leave you with the hassle and expense of fixing damages such as broken window glass, typical with a break-in. If you claim against your car insurance, you’ll be paying the Comprehensive deductible. But if personal items have been stolen from your vehicle, your deductibles may not end there. Goods such as cameras, sporting equipment and clothing are usually covered under your home insurance policy, not your car insurance. You would be required to make two separate claims, one on your car insurance and the other on your home insurance. Typical deductibles on car insurance can range from $300 to $500, while $500 is the standard on home insurance. A car break in can cost you, the

insured, $1,000 in deductibles and the hassle of making two separate claims. The good news is that there are now some optional car insurance policies offering unique solutions, like the Smash and Grab coverage that can be added to BCAA’s Optional Car Insurance. The Smash and Grab coverage waives the glass deductible on all glass claims and covers your personal property up to $500, again with no deductible. Of course, prevention is always better than cure, so try and avoid making yourself an easy target by giving thieves a reason to break into your car. Keep valuable items hidden from view, or better yet keep them locked up in the trunk when you’re away from your car. You should also always ensure you lock the doors and roll up all the windows before you leave. The next time your car insurance is up for renewal, speak to a BCAA Car Insurance specialist. They’ll assess your needs and help find the options that are right for you. Lora John is an Insurance Specialist with BCAA. She can be reached at lora.john@bcaa.com.

Watts-Watling, Stroda win gold at B.C.s
Welsh rugby team visits
Kelowna’s Kelly Watts-Watling set four new personal bests on the way to a gold medal in youth heptathlon at the B.C. Track and Field Championships. Watts-Wattling, 16, compiled 4,771 points over seven events last weekend in Coquitlam to take top spot, while fellow Kelowna athlete and training partner Sasha Kowallik placed second with 3,239 points.
Two local teams will take on a highly-ranked schoolboy rugby team from the southeastern region of Wales this Thursday at City Park. Monmouth School, coached by J.J. ‘Fred’ Hartley, has made recent trips to Eastern Canada in 2006 and 2009, but this current tour will mark the team’s first visit to Western Canada in 40 years. Monmouth made stops for matches in Calgary and St. Albert before reaching the Central Okanagan, and will be carrying on to Vancouver afterwards. Among others, Monmouth will be playing sides fielded by the Calgary Irish and Burnaby Lake R.F.C. The first local match will kick off at 3 p.m. between the Monmouth 2nd XV and the Central Okanagan U18 Selects, coached by Dane Peterson and Dan Haynes. The U18 Selects are representatives of the Top 40 high school players selected in June. They will field a
The performance qualified Watts-Watling for the Canadian Youth Track and Field Championships next month in Prince Edward Island. Joining her at nationals will be fellow Kelowna athlete Aaron Stroda who won three medals in throws at provincials. Watts-Watling achieved PBs in the 100 metre hurdles (15.22 seconds), the 200m (26.86), the javelin (36m), and the CONTIBUTED

In high jump, she cleared 1.52m, and in shot put had a toss of 11m. “I was pretty determined,” Watts-Watling said of her performance at provincials. “I felt strong in each event and felt like I did as well as I could.” Watts-Watling and Stroda will compete as
members of Team B.C. for the national youth championships, Aug. 15 to 21 at the University of PEI in Charlottetown. Stroda won three medals at provincials—gold in the discus (49.17m) and shot put (15.42m), and a bronze in javelin (49.99m). Stroda is currently ranked No. 1 in discus and No. 2 in shot put for his age group in Canada.
FortisBC’s new residential conservation rate FortisBC introduced a new residential two-tier conservation rate for electricity customers on July 1, 2012. About 75 per cent of electricity customers will pay about the same or less on this new rate, with some paying more based on electricity consumption.
Although winning most of their games handily, Monmouth’s 2nds were tested by the Calgary Hornets. The touring Welsh team eventually won that match, taking home a 4334 win. Their highly regarded top team has played only two matches on the tour so far, scoring huge wins over youth teams for the Calgary Saracens (67-0) and Calgary Irish (108-0). The teams also enjoyed the weekend’s Eskimos / Bomber game in Edmonton. All local rugby enthusiasts are encouraged to come out and cheer on our players while enjoying some great rugby in the park.

The man charged with the murder of Armstrong teen Taylor Van Diest, confirmed Monday that he would be skirting
the scrutiny of a jury in two other criminal cases against him. Matthew Foerster, 26, will deal with Cherryville
charges of break and enter, assault and unlawful confinement stemming from a home invasion in 2004 in front of a judge
alone. Charges of sexual assault and unlawful confinement relating to a 2005 incident at Kelow-
na’s Garden of Eden will be tried in the same manner. Foerster waived his right to a preliminary
hearing in both matters. Court proceedings relating to the Armstrong teen slaying will go before a jury, at a later date.

Foerster was arrested in April, following a manhunt for Taylor Van Diest’s killer. Van Diest, 18, was found beaten and unconscious near railway tracks in Armstrong. She died that night in hospital of head injuries. Family, friends and RCMP officers found the teen lying in the bushes about three metres from the tracks. Van Diest’s family called police on Halloween night after she failed to meet a friend, as scheduled, at 7:30 p.m. She also wasn’t responding to text messages or calls. The accused’s father, Stephen Roy Foerster, was arrested at his home in Cherryville, the same day. The 58-year-old Cherryville resident faces charges of being an accessory in Van Diest’s murder and obstruction of justice.
Reporter wins outdoors award
Capital News outdoors reporter Judie Steeves has won a national Ducks Unlimited Wetlands Appreciation Award. Steeves was eligible as a member of the Outdoors Writers of Canada for the award based on her submission of her Trail Mix column published in the Capital News last year headlined: Treat Water With Wetlands. It’s awarded annually as part of the OWC awards, which were presented at the annual convention, which was held in London, Ont. this year. “I didn’t make it but they mailed my prize and I just got it,” Steeve said. “It’s presented for writing that contributes to an increased understanding of the wetland conservation ethic; an increased awareness and understanding of wetland values to people and wildlife; presentation and clarity in writing; and initiative, effort and creativity. Steeves was acknowledged by Ducks Unlimited for the role she serves as a journalist to inform people about the need to conserve Canada’s wildlife, waterfowl and wetlands. Steeves was the only women among the 37 various award recipients this year.

She is continuing what has become a near annual tradition since 2005 of presenting a wide array of music for violin, in a recital format accessible to everyone. From the most popular pieces to new discoveries, Wilmot says the program will definitely have something that speaks to all audience members, from seasoned classical music
aficionados, to those wanting to discover the wonderful world of classical violin music for the first time. “The works range from the boisterous clarity of Beethoven’s Sonata No. 8 and the simple elegance of Telemann’s Fantasia No. 7, to the unbridled passion and drama of Chausson’s Poeme and Franck’s Violin Sonata, to the melding of classical and popular styles in Piazzola’s spicy Grand Tango,” she said. Wilmot recently graduated from The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School in Toronto, where she was a student of Paul Kantor and Barry Shiffman. She will be continuing her studies with Kantor this August in the masters degree program at
Rice University in Houston, TX. Wilmot has performed extensively in Toronto and abroad, including as a member of the National Ballet Orchestra, Sinfonia Toronto and the Esprit Orchestra, as well as presenting recitals in Ottawa, Montreal and New York City. She recently performed at Carnegie Hall, both as a member of the Youth Orchestra of the Americas and as a member of the only North American string quartet selected to participate in the Kronos Quartet’s professional training workshop. Wilmot takes the stage Friday, July 20, and Saturday, July 21, at 7:30 p.m., at Christ Lutheran Church, 2091 Gordon Dr. Admission is by donation at the door.

CHRISTIAN BALE returns as Batman in The Dark Knight Rises.
▼ MOVIE PREVIEW
Third and final time for Batman I t has been a huge summer so far. From the incredible success of The Avengers to the surprise hit Ted, it is hard to believe that there is still a lot more to come, including this weekend’s return of Batman. In the The Dark Knight Rises, it has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane. This is the third and final chapter in the trilogy carefully crafted by Christopher Nolan, who was unsure whether or not he wanted to do a third. However, even before he did Inception, he and his brother Jonathan, along with David S. Goyer, came up with a story that would be a satisfactory follow-up to the in-

sure to bring back The Joker using unused footage of Heath Ledger from the previous film and the studio wanted him to follow the Joker with an appearance by The Riddler (and even encouraging him to cast Leonardo DiCaprio as the character), Nolan decided to go with the villainous Bane, casting Tom Hardy, another
actor he had worked with on Inception. Other Inception alumni are Marion Cotillard and Joseph GordonLevitt who star respectively as Miranda Tate, a member of the Wayne Enterprises executive board and John Blake, a young See Davis A4

he only new release for the past weekend was Ice Age, Continental Drift, and it’s a really good thing that I love cartoons. So it was on Sunday night, during a bit of a heat wave, that I found a cool spot to watch this fourth in a series of Ice Age movies. A handful of people, mostly 20 somethings taking photos of themselves with their cell phones, were sprinkled in the mostly empty theatre. Odd, that it was not packed as this sequel had an opening weekend of $46 million and a total worldwide take of $339.2 million. Odder still because this is the lamest cartoon I’ve seen in a while. A long, long time ago, the earth was covered with ice. As the continents shifted the woolly mammoth and other creatures are having to move to find a new home. The theme of this show is that journey, both on land and sea, complete with scary pirates and sea sirens. Sure there were a few

Study finds chemical intolerance a prevalent issue C hemical intolerance affects one of every five people yet goes largely undiagnosed by physicians, according to clinical research published in the July 9 journal Annals of Family Medicine. Chemical intolerance refers to people who are highly sensitive to common substances such as cleaning products, tobacco smoke, fragrances, pesticides, new carpet and vehicle exhaust. Over the last 50 years, there have been increasing numbers of mysterious illnesses that can be related to chemical intolerance—multiple chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndromes, anxiety, depression and electrical sensitivities. And here is a typical example of how it all starts. Susan was a 42-yearold woman who was perfectly healthy, had a wonderful career and a full
EMOTIONAL RESCUE
Annie Hopper and rewarding life. She developed chemical sensitivities soon after she moved into a newly renovated apartment. Everything was new —paint, flooring, carpets, kitchen cabinets. But with every passing day she spent in her new home, she continued to get sicker. Even though she consulted a number of physicians to help her, none were able to effectively diagnose or reduce her symptoms. Interestingly enough, not one doctor or alternative health care practitioner asked her about her home environment. Meanwhile, her cat became so ill from the apartment that it died
within two weeks of moving in. Her dog could barely walk at one point. After seven months of living in this chemical cocktail, she put the pieces together and moved to a healthier home. However, the damage was already done. She had already sustained a chemical brain trauma that was causing a cycle of inflammation and illness. By now, any exposure to even small amounts of
chemicals found in shampoo or detergents would leave her cognitively impaired with a host of life threatening and disabling symptoms that could last for days. Her life became increasingly isolated as a result. Merely surviving day to day became the focus of her existence. The new apartment that she moved into was in fact a toxic nightmare that sent her into a spiral of illness.
As consumers, we need to be aware of the products that we are using and stop cutting corners just to save a few bucks. Your financial savings could be costing you or your family their health. Our awareness needs to extend not only to knowledge of chemicals used in products that we apply on our bodies and in the foods that we ingest, but also to the chemicals that are used in extermination processes, as
well as the products that we use to clean, build and renovate our homes. Susan has since attended the dynamic neural retraining system program, a three-day neuro rehabilitation program that focuses on rewiring the limbic system in the brain. Since then, Susan has fully recovered from chemical sensitivities. She no longer reacts violently to common household chemicals,
however, as part of her ongoing health maintenance she exercises common sense and environmental awareness. Rewiring neural circuits in the brain to recover from this group of illnesses is a new paradigm for healing and understanding brain function as it relates to optimal health. Annie Hopper is a limbic system rehabilitation specialist in Kelowna. info@dnrsystem.com

Identifying and acting to achieve our personal core values
O
n July 16, Stephen Covey died and the world lost a compelling voice of inspiration. One of Covey’s biggest sources of fame is his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It was written in 1989 and has sold more than 20 million copies internationally. It is perhaps best known as a guide for leaders but the book is much more than that. The subheading for this book is Powerful Lessons in Personal Change. The seven habits are really life tools that apply
WORK LIFE
Laurie Mills to everyone. In honour of Stephen Covey, I’d like to talk about one of the seven habits that I find particularly insightful, referred to in the book as Habit #2. That habit tells us to “begin with the end in mind. In simplified terms, this habit means figuring out what is most impor-
tant to us (our core values), creating a vision of our future and then acting in a way that moves us toward our goals. One of the key tools that Covey suggests for practising Habit #2 is a personal mission statement or credo. He stresses the importance of developing this clarity and self awareness upfront in order to create a solid foundation of understanding about how we can become more effective in our lives. The main reason why I like Habit #2 so much is that it can be applied at a deep personal level and in
most work situations. I often reference it when coaching my clients through significant change or conflict. Asking them early what they would like a particular outcome to be typically causes a powerful shift in thinking. It immediately puts the focus on core issues—just like Covey says—and offers a wonderful opportunity to rewrite the future. Revising our stories to imagine more positive outcomes is a key element of Habit #2. To be successful— however we define success for ourselves—we

need to first clarify our goals and then act in ways that reflect our values and guiding principles. That is why, as Covey says about Habit #2: “Everything is always created twice.” It starts with an idea or a picture in our mind of what we want to see or create or do. Once that is clear we have a mental map to guide our action. First the vision, then the plan—that is the wisdom of beginning with the end in mind. In light of Covey’s recent death, it is interesting that the chapter on Habit
#2 begins with an exercise that he asks his readers to engage in and it involves thinking ahead to the end of one’s own life. He challenges us to reflect on what others might say about us in memoriam. Then he nudges us to write down how we truly want to be remembered by those whose lives we’ve touched along the way. It’s a powerful exercise. Based on the articles that I’ve read about his passing, it appears that Covey was a man who walked his own talk, so to speak.
His book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has really stood the test of time. If you haven’t read it yet, I’d recommend giving it a try. If you have, you likely already appreciate its wisdom.

Research efforts recognized A UBC Okanagan engineering professor has received an award for his innovative research in the field of materials science. Lukas Bichler, assistant professor of engineering at UBC’s Okanagan campus, has received The Brimacombe Award, a national award given by the Metallurgy and Materials Society (MetSoc). Bichler is only the fourth recipient of the award since its creation in 1998. “Winning The Brima-

These reactors (being developed by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.) are expected to be significantly more fuel efficient, safer and more economical to operate than any other nuclear technology created to date. Karen Robles, a master of applied science student who works with Bichler, recently received the firstever MetSoc Masters Scholarship to support her work in the field of materials science.
Specifically, Robles is working to develop and characterize ceramic composite materials using a unique processing method called Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). “I will be blending materials in order to create novel composites with superior high-temperature and pressure properties,” she said. The materials Bichler and Robles are working with could also be of use to other industries, such as fuel cells or oil and gas, where wear resistance is a crucial property of design materials. “I feel absolutely ecstatic about receiving the award,” added Robles. “The competition was definitely tough and it is an absolute honour to be recognized by the organization. “This award will fund my tuition for the upcoming year, but more importantly the scholarship is motivation for me and my research team to keep going and deliver the research that we have been working so hard to complete.”

CORY CAMPBELL chooses a handful of free books
Cory Campbell and Grace Auyeumg were in awe as they walked through Carol Jackson’s garage. A Craigslist advertisement told them that a West Kelowna woman was giving away books for free, but the selection and quality of Jackson’s inventory was something that neither Campbell nor Auyeumg expected. After walking through the mini warehouse for 10 minutes, both Campbell and Auyeumg struggled to hold all of the books that they wanted to take home. And if it weren’t for Jackson, all of those pages would’ve been destroyed months, or even years, ago. Jackson has been giving books of all genres a second chance for over a decade. Her mission started 13 years ago while she was at a recycling depot. “A truck pulled up and it was full of books. It tipped its top into this huge metal container—they pressed a button and crunched them,” said Jackson. “I said to the guy, ‘That seems like a ter-

Quebec and Canada keep deadly asbestos industry alive M

David Suzuki a year. More than 90 per cent of cases are attributed to asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is made up of tiny fibres that can be inhaled, penetrating the lungs. Because they are mineral-based, they can’t be broken down by the body’s natural defences, so they cause inflammation. The fibres also remain in the lining around the lungs, and over time

—often 20 to 30 years or more—may cause mesothelioma or other diseases. Because asbestos is a known carcinogen, it has been banned by more than 50 countries, including all members of the European Union. They appear to be getting along fine without it, probably because there are safe alternatives for construction, fire-proofing, and other asbestos functions. Canada and the U.S. have not banned it but don’t use it much anymore. Although Canada doesn’t have a domestic market for asbestos, we actively support the industry and promote exports to other countries, especially India. In fact, Canada is one of only a few countries that still exports asbestos. And despite these times of government cutbacks, the Quebec government has even stepped in to keep the industry alive by agreeing to lend the Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, Quebec, $58-million to restart and expand. The Jeffery operation is one of the two last asbestos mines in Canada, both of which were shut
down last year. Proponents also hope to restart the other, Lac d’amiante du Canada in nearby Thetford Mines. Quebec has one of the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world. Meanwhile, the Quebec and federal governments had been funding the Chrysotile Institute, an asbestos industry lobby group, to the tune of a quarter million dollars or more a year. Federal funding was axed last year and the institute closed earlier this year. The federal government has also blocked international efforts to have asbestos listed as hazardous—against advice from Health Canada —by repeatedly voting to keep it off the UN Rotterdam Convention, a treaty listing hazardous substances and requiring exporting countries to inform importers of bans, dangers, and safe-handling methods. Asbestos may be good enough for export to Indonesia and India, but not for the politicians who support the industry here at home. The federal government has spent millions of dollars to remove as-
create just over 400 direct jobs, each paying about $16 an hour. Is such a small economic boost worth the misery and death continued extraction and exports will cause? Many health and environmental experts from here and around the world don’t think so. The Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Cancer Society, Canadian Public Health Association, Canadian Labour Congress, and other organizations have called for a ban, with labour groups also asking for a just transition strategy for affected workers. Around the world, numerous health agencies, scientists, and doctors, including the World Health Organization, have warned of the dangers of asbestos and have recommended banning it. We must urge the gov- j ernments of Quebec and Canada to listen to scientists, experts, and the public and put the brakes on this deadly industry.

bestos from buildings on Parliament Hill and from the prime minister’s residence. As for the stuff that will be removed from the Jeffrey Mine—more than 200,000 tonnes a year for the next 20 years—it will be sent to developing countries that may not adhere to safety standards for its use and handling. Interestingly, the Jeffrey Mine’s owner had asked for a loan guarantee, but the government offered a direct loan. Maybe the private sector didn’t see much future in trading a known carcinogen that countries around the world are moving to ban. It’s particularly disappointing to see the Quebec government, which otherwise has a pretty good environmental track record, support a project with known negative environmental and health risks. It also says a lot about the absurdity of an economic system in which creating a few jobs and boosting wealth is a higher priority than preventing cancer, protecting health, and having a clean environment.

and provides general wage increases retroactive to Jan. 1, 2011, of 1.25 per cent, 1.5 per cent for 2012, and 1.6 per cent in each of the two remaining years. CORD board chair Robert Hobson said: “We believe this agreement, the first between the regional district and CUPE, provides competitive wages for our employees, while being sensitive to taxpayers and is consistent with local government labour agreements in our area. “It also ensures continued delivery of services for residents across the region and is within the five year financial plan approved by the regional board earlier this year.” CUPE Local 338 vicepresident Scott Bruce called the negotiations a positive experience. “Given the current economic climate we feel that we have achieved a fair and reasonable agreement for our members,” Bruce said. The contract affects 95 full-time and part-time workers for the regional district.

WESTSIDE ▼ STATISTICS

I
pulled that from the website of Office for National Statistics, which purports to be the United Kingdom’s largest independent producer of official statistics. By contrast, I might be the smallest independent producer of statistics in all of the Commonwealth, and my statistics are by no means official. I started keeping settlement statistics one year after I started writing this weekly column. I didn’t want to make estimates and assertions that I could not back up with hard data, so I created a spreadsheet to track every insurance company offer through to the settlement of every personal injury claim that I have settled since the beginning of 2008. My spreadsheet also includes a brief description of each crash, so I can categorize data by crash type. This column is about rear-ender crashes. I have settled 34 rear-enders since the beginning of 2008. One of the key goals of a campaign I launched of “One Crash is Too Many” is raising awareness of the serious consequences of motor vehicle rcollisions. I am no psychologist, fbut I figure we behave according to our perception rof the consequences of our behaviour. The more serious the consequences we recognize of our driving behaviour, the more attention and care we will take when behind the wheel. The media regularrly reinforces a perception that collisions don’t come with serious consequences. Big crashes with lots of damage make the headlines. Sometimes people die, but crash deaths are thankfully few and far between. For the vast majority of reported crashes, even crashes resulting in lots of ttwisted metal and overturned vehicles, the vehicle occupants are reported as having either sustained no injury or that any injury wasn’t serious. Base your driving behaviour on media reports and it is as if we’re driving around in bumper cars with minimal or no con-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott sequences at all. What do you think of when you hear that injuries are “not serious.” Do you think of putting a band-aide on a child’s knee? Media reports are based on what we see at the scene. With seat belts holding our bodies back from flying against dashboards, it is very rare for there to be any visible injuries at the scene of a crash. The tearing and spraining of the connective soft tissues of the spine don’t typically become apparent, even to
the injured victims, until hours after the crash when the tissues start to seize up and become painful. The ICBC Community Snapshot for Kelowna indicates that approximately 2,700 people are injured every year in crashes in Kelowna. How many of those injuries make the news? How many of those would you characterize as “serious” if you knew the full extent of what the injured victims have experienced? Here is where my “statistics” come in. I have a small law firm. Of the approximately 2,700 people injured in Kelowna every year, perhaps 50 come to me. Keep that in mind when I hit you with my statistics. Also keep in mind that insurance companies pay

out as little as they can possibly get away with when settling claims. They make no apology for it, nor should they. That’s their business. They are experts in defending claims, with access to private investigators, medical specialists and excellent defence lawyers. Finally, please understand that the size of a settlement represents the size of the loss to the injured victim. Settlements are not based on crash photographs; they are based on what the law would evaluate as fair compensation for actual losses. Once again, these sta-
tistics are based solely on rear-end collisions. There were no fiery crashes. In every one of these cases, there were no visible injuries at the scene. If reporting on any of these collisions, the media would have reported either no injuries or no serious injuries. The average settlement amount, including costs, of the 34 rear-end crash claims I have settled since the beginning of 2008 is $135,963.86. Here’s a call out to the media to change the way you report on crash injuries. Until you know, by calling up the vehicle occupants the next morning to find out how hard it is
to get out of bed because of the pounding headaches and seized up necks and backs, please don’t comment on whether or not there were injuries. Further, unless you follow up with them three years later to find out what their ongoing, permanent symptoms are, please don’t comment on the seriousness of those injuries. Instead, please report the fact that someone is injured in a car crash in Kelowna, on average, every 2 hours and 15 minutes (2,700 per year). When reporting on a crash, please report that it is highly likely that the vehicle occupants were
injured and that many of those injured will never, ever recover from those injuries. Incidently, about onethird of the rear-ender cases I settled the insurance adjuster had made an offer to settle the claim directly with the injured victim before I was retained. The average of those offers was $8,800. 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. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

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.
