Wilson Landing Seniors scramble to escape from fire blaze thriving in summer heat Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

STAFF REPORTER

Fire crews have been battling back the blaze in Wilson’s Landing for several days, and they’re not expected to get a reprieve soon with challenging weather on the horizon. “The forecast calls for continued hot and dry weather, and the wind is expected to pick up,” said Michaela Swan, a forest service fire information officer shortly before the Capital News press deadline Monday afternoon. It’s those very conditions that caused the fire to change in status so rapidly. It was sparked by lightning on Friday night but was declared contained by noon on Sunday.

A steady breeze increased “fire behaviour” throughout the night, said Swan, and that kicked debris downhill, across tinter-dry land and past a fire line that crews had initially set up. By Monday morning it had doubled in size and an evacuation alert was issued to 40 to 50 homes in the Jenny Creek subdivision, as well as those along Blue Grouse Road, Browse Road and parts of Westside Road, all in the Wilson’s Landing area of West Kelowna. Westside Road was closed for much of Monday, but it was re-opened by day’s end when the fire See Heat A7

A three-alarm blaze at Highlands Retirement Residence Monday morning saw some quick thinking bystanders step in to save an elderly man and his cat. Located at 400 Snowsell St., the home is on the outer edge of residential development in Glenmore and it took some time for rescue crews, both regular firefighters and members of the Glenmore paid on-call crew, to arrive at the scene. As the time passed, an elderly man who had already cleared the building ran back inside to save his cats. Passersby jumped in to pull him back out of the burning structure, saying they could already see flames lapping at his room as they forced him out. “It went up quick. About 30 seconds and it was in full flames,” said Howard Pfefferle, who pulled up to the Snowsell Street retirement home at 10 a.m. after noticing a plume of thick smoke. He called 911, then ran in to rescue the elderly man, managing to get the man and one of the animals, which bit him in the process. He and a handful of other bystanders then tried to help staff ensure others were not trapped inside. “…We just went door to door trying to kick the doors in and banging on the doors; we had a lot of staff running up and down the hallway, so we believe we got everybody,” he said. Inside the structure, the hallway was full of “very thick, heavy black smoke,” meaning those involved could see no further than two feet and had to stay low in order to catch their breath. As he emerged from the building, young construction contractor Travis Wonch said he could hear people asking for help when he was inside. A residents list was checked and all 65 residents were accounted for by 10:30 a.m., though five people were treated for smoke inhalation. Some 40 firefighters managed to save the bulk of the building, but the back 18 units were destroyed in the blaze, which was described by the fire department as difficult due to the weather conditions. “The intense heat today, combined with the fast growing fire, created some challenges for firefighters,” said deputy fire chief Thomas Doherty in a statement released mid-afternoon. “…Firefighters had to be switched out frequently, due to the heat, to ensure crews did not become dehydrated.”

NEWS ▼ ADAM SCORGIE

A $200,000 kickstart for local filmmaker’s next project Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Thanks to an Internet company dedicated to raising money for creative projects, Kelowna’s Adam Scorgie has raised more than $200,000 in less than six weeks. The money was raised by people all over the world who have one thing in common: They want to see Scorgie get the ball rolling on The Culture High, a documentary on the culture shift in the way people look at cannabis prohibition. Scorgie, BKS-Crew Productions and Aquila Productions decided to utilize Kickstarter. com to raise a minimum of $190,000 in order to give The Culture High— which is a sequel to the award-winning documentary, The Union—a theatrical release. With three days left to go in the Kickstarter campaign, Scorgie and company have already raised over $200,000 and have more than 3,000 financial supporters. But early on, Scorgie

wasn’t sure if it would end up this way. “When we first launched it, I was expecting like $30,000 in the first day. It only hit $2,000 and I was a little worried then,” said Scorgie. “Then it went viral in the first week and the numbers started making sense.” Kickstarter is a platform for creative projects to fundraise—a term also known as crowd funding. People pledge money for projects that they would like to see succeed. In return, the creators provide rewards and giveaways for various levels of donations. For those who pledged $10 for The Culture High, the reward is a hug. Those who pledged $50 will receive a signed copy of The Culture High DVD once it’s released plus a thankyou credit at the end of the film. Three individuals donated $10,000. For their reward, they will be able to host a theatrical screening in their home town and keep the money generated from ticket sales.

They will also have dinner with Scorgie and receive a co-executive producer credit in the film. Scorgie said the pressure is now on him and the rest of the crew to make sure they can deliver what they promised their backers. “It will be (daunting), but how could I bite the hand that feeds me? I’m excited to get these out to people who were so excited to help me.” But if the $190,000 wasn’t raised in the allotted time, every donor would have gotten his/her money back, no rewards would have been given out and the project would be left with nothing. “Kickstarter offers a lot of great things if you hit your goal. “It has already promoted the film all over the world; it’s like a giant viral commercial. “But it can backfire. If you launch it and your Kickstarter is a flop, then that looks really bad. It’s forever on their site, you can’t take it down—it’s there that you failed.” Thankfully for Scor-

gie, the Kickstarter campaign for The Culture High didn’t backfire. He said that the amount of money raised set a Canadian record.

“There is no other Canadian who has raised this much money in the film and video category on Kickstarter.” Scorgie was scheduled

to hold another fundraiser last night at Cabana Grille, where he estimated that The Culture High could raise another $10,000. The Culture High crew

will get the project underway this fall and Scorgie is optimistic that a 2013 release date is possible. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

POSITIVE TUNE…Drew Goring-Hand was busking at Kerry Park on Saturday singing a cappella to help raise money for a Kelowna Rotary Club scholarship program which has enabled her to attend Okanagan College this fall. The Strive Scholarship fund awarded the Central School grad $750 so she could begin to pursue her post-secondary education goal to become a lawyer. Goring-Hand is hoping to raise that same amount for the fund so that another student can get the same help she did.

▼ CRIME BRIEFS

Cops will be ready for Centre of Gravity party animals Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna hasn’t lived up to its party-town reputation during recent festivals, but police will still ramp up their patrols in preparation for the upcoming Centre of Gravity event. The festival that marries sport and music takes place over the upcoming August long weekend, and Const. Kris Clark said Monday that precedent shows that things can get out of hand. “There’s always alcohol and drugs,” he said, noting that there have been a number of arrests around the time of the festival, in years past. “There will be zero tolerance for open alcohol and drug consumption as well as public drunkenness or other disturbing behaviours,” he said. Fines for liquor-related offences range from $115 to $230. Possession of drugs, or other criminal offences, may be referred to Crown counsel for prosecution. That said, Kelowna RCMP aren’t killjoys and still wish “everyone to have a fun and safe holiday weekend.”

BREAKING THE LAW TO MAKE NEWS Castanet reporter Kelly Hayes is off the hook. Following Hayes’s investigative piece on an alleged drug dealer, it appeared as though the longtime Kelowna reporter may come under the heavy scrutiny of the law, but police

issued a statement Monday saying all the concern swirling through the media was for naught. “After consultation with Crown counsel, it has been determined that no charges will be recommended against the local media reporter who purchased marijuana as part of an investigative report,” said Const. Kris Clark. “He now fully understands that he had no legal authority to possess a controlled substance, regardless of his intentions, and that future actions may result in criminal charges.” Hayes allegedly bought an eighth of pot from a woman living in a City of Kelowna home to prove the claims of her downstairs neighbour, who had been making complaints that fell on deaf ears. Police raided the home the day after the report was put on Castanet.

COPS FOR KIDS Well known Kelowna philanthropist Tom Budd announced Monday that his foundation, the Thomas Alan Budd Foundation, has committed to Cops for Kids Charitable Foundation for the next three years as a presenting sponsor. Budd, a father of two, says that fuels his decision to help children less fortunate than his own. “I just want to help and this is one way that I can,” he said. “We started working with Cops for Kids with our commitment last year, and again en-

tered into discussions this past January. We want to ensure that we continue to support such a worth cause. The annual cops for kids ride is a 10-day cycling journey from Kelowna that takes a team of 24 riders along with their support crew across the southeastern portion of B.C. to raise funds and awareness for children in poor communities that endure medical, physical or traumatic crisis.

HEROISM ON THE HIGHWAY An Okanagan man’s act of bravery failed to save the life of the young woman in crisis he came upon last Thursday afternoon, although it did prevent further casualties. “A complainant saw a vehicle travelling at a very slow speed, scraping along the barricade eastbound on Highway 97 C near Brenda Mines,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The complainant sped ahead, jumped out of his vehicle, stopped the car and observed a female driver appearing to have a seizure.” Emergency services were called to the scene, and paramedics transported the 26-year-old Penticton woman to Kelowna hospital. She had died upon arrival and could not be revived. The regional coroner is investigating the death.

THEFT ATTEMPT LEAVES DOG DEAD Kelowna Mounties dealt with a grim case of alleged negligence just

after noon last Friday. Two women, aged 29 and 30, were allegedly shoplifting from the Real Canadian Superstore, while their small dog was left behind in their vehicle. With heat rising throughout the morning, however, it turned out to be a fatal decision that a theft prevention officer came upon when he followed the alleged thieves to their car. “All of the windows on the vehicle were up and the water supply inside had been exhausted,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The dog unfortunately succumbed to the heat and was found deceased upon arrival.” It’s unclear who will continue the investigation into animal negligence, although the police will be looking in to the shoplifting complaint made by the store. “Leaving your dog or child in the car, even for a ‘minute’ to run in to get something, can have devastating consequences,” said Clark. “The Kelowna RCMP has seen an increase in calls for service regarding dogs in cars over the last little while, and often deal with multiple incidents in the same parking lot.”

PROLIFIC OFFENDERS TARGETED Kelowna Mounties believe they’re reaping the rewards of crime reduction strategies. “The Kelowna RCMP Crime Reduction Target Team and Property

Crime Units have been using crime reduction strategies for a while now and are already seeing great results,” said Const. Kris Clark. “In mid-July of 2011, a prolific offender was released from custody and the Kelowna RCMP detachment noticed an almost immediate increase in the number of Honda car thefts in the city. Over a 47-day period, 39 Hondas were stolen. But, once that offender was back in custody, a nearly 72 per cent decrease in stolen Hondas was observed.” That same offender was released again in mid-April this year, but this time the PCU, assisted by the CRTT, were prepared for his arrival. “By targeting this particular offender, he was taken into custody quicker and managed to cause less overall work for the Kelowna RCMP,” he said. “During his 23 days of freedom, 15 Honda cars were stolen, but that number dropped to almost zero once he was incarcerated.” Not all of the stolen cars can be attributed to this particular offender, but the numbers certainly demonstrate how effective crime reduction strategies can be. In line with our priorities, the CRTT and PCU will continue to target prolific offenders in an effort to reduce crime in Kelowna and increase the effectiveness of policing in our community.

Highlands fire forces the relocation of its senior residents Fire from A1

KELOWNA firefighers prepare to take on a fire at the Highlands Retirement Residence Monday morning on Snowsell Street in Glenmore.

The displaced residents were bused to North Glenmore Elementary School in the immediate aftermath and Glenmore Drive was blocked to all traffic for the morning to give emergency vehicles room to fight the fire then mop up the mess. By the 2:30 p.m., staff at a 24-hour assisted living facility in downtown Kelowna, Laurier Manor, tweeted that their facility had room to offer a bed to those displaced by the fire. Laurier Manor has three spare rooms and an empty downstairs where beds could be set up to help anyone without a place to stay, staff said.

The Central Okanagan YMCA/YWCA was formed in 1981. At that time, the YMCA/YWCA category of membership in both YMCA Canada and YWCA Canada was popular for Ys that wanted to serve both genders as the YMCA was operated by men, serving men and boys and the YWCA was

operated by women, serving women and girls. Since that time, YMCAs around the world have become family-focused and the YWCA philosophy and programs remain primarily for women. Both YMCAs and YWCAs are charitable organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If approved by members, this proposed change would not alter our commitment to offer programs and services for women, men, children and families,â&#x20AC;? said Sharon Peterson, the Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our growing investment in programs to help both girls and boys build strong values and character, and ultimately become strong contributors to a healthy community, is a solid component of our mission and strategic plan .â&#x20AC;?

Winery encourages interactive art exhibit Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

For many artists, solitude is important. It allows them to focus on their piece of art without any sort of distraction. But, for others, distractions can actually improve works of art. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what David Leroux said as he set up his canvas at House of Rose Winery Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes people make suggestions and it actually makes the painting better,â&#x20AC;? said Leroux. Leroux and three other painters were showing off their work at Artists in Action this past weekend. While those visiting the winery had the chance to look at the artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; paintings, they also had the chance to watch the artists work on a new project. The event, which was hosted by House of Rose Winery every Saturday and Sunday throughout July, is beneficial to three groups of people. The artists get to display their work at the winery that gets a fair amount of traffic in the summer. The winery is able to entertain its customers and provide them with a unique experience. And the customer is able to inter-

act with the artists and find out exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going through their minds as they work on their creations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people are really interested, they come and stand there for half an hour, talking with the artists. Other people just glance,â&#x20AC;? said Wouter Vanderhall, owner of House of Rose Winery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The unique thing about this is that the artists are working on pieces while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here. That is something that we thought would help increase the interactions.â&#x20AC;? Jaine Buse was also showing off her art Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are really interested in the process; people who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t artists donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what that is,â&#x20AC;? said Buse. When asked whether or not it is distracting to have people watching her as she works, Buse said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of us are motivated by it and some find it distracting. I love it because it creates energyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I love to get feedback and hear people talk about it.â&#x20AC;? Vanderhall said that he hopes to keep the Artists in Action event running in future years with the possibility of showcasing other types of art like sculptures as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The artists enjoy being here, so we will continue it,â&#x20AC;? said Vanderhall. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ SMARTPHONE APP

Forest fire alert initiative A smartphone app that prevents forest fires by identifying hazardous areas and that was developed by researchers at UBC is getting tested in the Okanagan this summer. Wildfires are a yearly threat in the region. The 2003 Okanagan Mountain fire destroyed 25,000 hectares of forest and 239 homes, and in July 2009, two fires in West Kelowna forced 12,500 residents out of their homes and destroyed three properties. Designed by Faculty of Forestry PhD student Colin Ferster and professor Nicholas Coops, the app is designed for professionals and members of the public, such as homeowners. Starting at the top of the trees and working down to the forest floor, the app contains images of potential fire hazards such as fallen wood, brush, or a thick carpet of needles on the forest floor. Once identified, users take pictures and upload the images, addition-

UBC’S smartphone app allows a user to collect data and photos of suspected forest fire hazards and measure them using the principles of remote sensing. al information and global positioning system (GPS) coordinates to a database. “One of the most effective ways to reduce wildfire hazard is to reduce the amount of fuel that is available to burn,” said Ferster. “By putting this tool in the hands of many people, we can collect more information about the current status of the forest, and at the same time increase awareness and cooperation, which will help re-

duce the threat of wildfire in the community.” With consistent and comparable measurements at their disposal, forest managers can make timely decisions on how to best minimize fire hazard. A field trial of the app is currently underway at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna.

Camp Owaissi near fire boundary was mapped at 26.6 hectares and listed as 20 per cent contained, thanks to a gargantuan effort. “We have 70 firefighters being assisted by five helicopters as well as three air support tankers,” said Swan. It’s an effort those just outside the fire line were appreciative of. Keith Thom, executive director of Camp Owaissi, said he’s just 100 yards outside the evacuation

boundary and that he had watched fire crews working feverishly all morning. It’s given him the confidence to go along with his business with little ado, other than the fact that the camp was postponed for one day. “Currently there’s no risk,” he said, noting he could see the flames as he went about his duties at the campsite. This is the first big blaze of the Okanagan summer, and is far small-

er than the 2009 and 2003 fires that caused mass evacuations. Although 30 C-plus weather for the last week has dried the ground out considerably, it was a wet lead-in to summer and the average number of fires province-wide is down. There have been 663 fires since April and the fires have consumed about 16,000 hectares of land. The 10-year average is 1,337.

Copper thieves should find an alternate line of income because new regulations for metal dealers and recyclers will seriously limit their ability to illegally hock their wares. Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark explained Monday that the Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act came into effect July 23, and that will mean buying and selling stolen metals without a serious paper trail will be tricky. “Metal dealers and recyclers are required to report transactions to the police on a daily basis,” said Clark. “The Kelowna RCMP has already started working with local metal dealers and recyclers for that purpose. To maintain efficiency, a program that is already used by the Kelowna RCMP and local pawn shops will be further utilized, with all local dealers coming online by Aug. 15.”

Ultimately the Act also allows for inspectors or police to inspect a metal dealer’s or recycler’s business premises and records, and also provides the ability to issue violation tickets for a number of offences with fines ranging from $100 to $500. If the circumstances warrant further action, police may refer the matter to Crown Counsel which could result in fines of up to $100,000, or $10,000

for a person. All in all, it’s good news to the City of Kelowna, which has haemorrhaged funds trying to make up for what was stolen in recent years. Last year it cost the city $150,000 to replace wires stolen out of lamp posts and the 2012 tally is at $100,000, said Joe Creron, director of civic operations. “The electrical utility helps subsidize those costs, but it will cause an

increase in rates,” he said. It’s also a public safety issue. Already this year one person has died as a result of touching exposed wires, and Creron said he feared children and other innocent passersby could suffer a similar fate. “I suspect there are a lot of near misses,” he said. He said that once thieves find their way into a lamp standard, live wires are exposed which may prove lethal to them.

Pipeline risks facing B.C.

ifty-eight per cent of the risk for an environmentally damaging spill of oil on land, and 100 per cent of the risk should it happen in a marine environment. That’s what B.C. is facing if it allows the Northern Gateway Pipeline project. And on Monday, the government laid out the ground rules to give the goahead for Enbridge’s prized project to bring crude from the Alberta oil sands to the B.C. coast, including that if this province was going to accept most of the

risks, there should be compensation. The federal government will be collecting some $36 billion of the $81 billion in provincial and federal taxes the Northern Gateway Pipeline is expected to generate over the next three decades. The remaining $45 billion will be split, with $32 billion going to Alberta, $6.7 billion to B.C. and another $6 billion split amongst the other provinces. That means B.C. would be getting about 8.2 per cent of the

benefits of the project, while assuming most of the risk. Getting more money out of the deal doesn’t do away with the environmental risks, but with last Monday’s announcement of the minimum requirements for approval of a new pipeline across the province, it shows that B.C. is not going to blindly support a project that is of little benefit to our province. Unfortunately, of the five conditions listed for provincial approval of a pipeline, the one dealing with fiscal equity is the

Will dog control change how dogs kept? Open letter to Robert Hobson, chairman Regional District of Central Okanagan: Congratulations on making the right decision to send Shadow home, tardy as it was. (Shadow Returned to Lake Country Owners, July 30 www.kelownacapnews.com.) It is sad that the decision came only after significant publicity and public outcry. As a young person, I am consistently disappointed by the inhumanity that operates as standard policy and prevents me from participating within an inhuman system. How does a human not intervene knowing that injustice is occurring within one’s jurisdiction? Knowing an action is wrong and doing it anyway is the definition of unethical.

Unfortunately, the two clauses dealing with the much more important environmental concerns are the most ambiguous, merely stating a requirement for “world-leading” response, prevention and recovery systems.

Requiring action plans, oversight and or penalties would all have been moves for the province to take an equally firm stand on the environmental front.

works in any positive fashion, I feel strongly enough about this issue to attempt to access whatever small corner of humanity you are capable of when you hold a position in government. I understand the need for regulation that supports public safety. In terms of dog control, this may mean that a dog needs to be held in your facility for more than a few days. I appreciate that you acknowledged these kennels are not suitable to house dogs for long-term stays, yet the regulations require long-term stays in some cases. These facts are incongruous and cannot persist. What is happening with other dogs like Shadow which are not owned by people capable of hiring lawyers and soliciting the media for assistance? Is the district continuing

to allow the inhumane housing of these ‘silent’ dogs? Either the district needs to change the rules regarding ‘dangerous’ dogs in order to eliminate the necessity for long-term confinement or the district needs to provide facilities immediately that are suitable for dogs in long-term detention. Is the district prepared to change the regulations, or will you commit to providing a humane facility for dogs that are required to stay more than a few days? I look forward to your response, and God help us if it is a form letter. Laurel Eckhoff McPherson, Kelowna

Voice for the safety of pesticide use

To the editor: Re: Dig Into the Dirt on Organic Farm Produce, Capital News, July 26. I agree with a recent column in the Kelowna Capital News that whether the food you eat is grown conventionally or organically, the most important thing is that you get the daily intake that’s recommended by Health Canada. However, the column did contain some misinformation that I would like to correct. Canada has one of the most modern and strin-

gent pesticide regulatory systems in the world. This means that whether the food you eat is grown conventionally or organically, it is among the safest food available anywhere. Both organic and conventionally grown foods use an array of pesticides that have all been approved by Health Canada to control threats to their crops. No matter how your food is grown, what you should be more concerned about is how your food was handled before you bought it—bacterial con-

tamination is an actual and significant health threat. When it comes to pesticide residues on food, recent data from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency shows that about 88 per cent of all fresh food items and 90 per cent of processed food items contain no traces of pesticides at all. And in instances where trace amounts of pesticides are found on food, they are at such low levels it is impossible to imagine a way to eat enough of it for there to be any harmful impact whatsoever.

Consumers can be assured that pesticides receive a greater breadth of scrutiny than any other regulated product in Canada. Health Canada, which is one of the most respected regulatory agencies in the world, undertakes a thorough scientific review and risk assessment of every pesticide before registering it for use to ensure it does not pose a health risk to farmers using the products or to families at the dinner table. Canadians should

feel confident about making healthy food choices knowing that our food supply is both safe and affordable.

ments to the EI and Temporary Foreign Worker programs, even going so far as to suggest that these measures are undermining good, well-paying jobs in this country.” The “evidence” is to the contrary, he says. The writers may be trying to score “political points.” Cannan then begins to expound data. Our country has been able to recover more than 765,000 net new jobs since July 2009, he says. (I would add that these are many more than the 427,900 jobs lost since the recession of 2008-09.) In particular, “Canada has much to be proud of when it comes to our efforts for youth employment; in fact, we rank second only to Germany in our successes.” According to economists at the CIBC, 155,000 jobs were created in the first six months of this year alone, most of them full-time. Cannan quotes the CIBC: “The even better news is that these jobs were of high quality.” And as of April 2012, the average weekly wage is up at $896.63. Working backwards, what Cannan has not said is that the average weekly wage is up only $26.67 from April 2011—an increase of 3 per cent, which just kept up with inflation. What he has not said is that the CIBC simultaneously reported that the “trajectory” of high quality jobs will falter. Expected job losses in ex-

ports, construction and the public sector add up to a “sure-fire recipe” for reduced employment quality. And what he has not said is that the jobs market has been stalled since April 2012; the unemployment rate fell by 0.1 per cent in June only because 16,800 dropped out of the labour force; and the employment rate for students was the lowest June rate since that data started to be made available in 1977. Worse, what Cannan hasn’t reckoned with is the fact that Canada’s working-age population has been growing at 1.3 per cent per year—faster than any other G7 country and nearly twice the OECD average, according to economist Jim Stanford. What this means is that Canada needs to generate hundreds of thousands of new jobs each year, and billions of dollars in new GDP, just to stand still as far as economic and labour market conditions go. “After adjusting for population growth,” says Stanford, “neither GDP nor employment growth since the recession has yet to recoup the ground lost during the 2008–09 downturn. In the labour market, in particular, the pace of employment-creation has lagged far behind the pace of population growth; so that after adjusting for population growth, less than one-fifth of the damage done by the recession has been repaired” (“Canada’s Incomplete, Mediocre Recovery,” January

2012). Without adjusting for population growth, we can now understand Canada’s employment figures in a new light. Despite all the job creation in the last couple of years, the employment rate of 62.4 per cent in June 2012 is still lower than the rate of 63.8 per cent in May 2008, before the recession began. It seems a cheap shot to suggest that writers like me are trying to score political points. Instead, I identify with the majority of Canadians who were polled by the International Trade Union Confederation in June of this year. Fifty-two per cent said the government should make job creation a priority, while only 11 per cent said the government should immediately pay off its debt. Ken Georgetti, president of the Canadian Labour Congress, puts it another way. “This poll shows that people feel a deep uncertainty and fear about the international economic situation. The message for G20 leaders is that people want their governments to invest in job creation rather than pushing austerity programs that cut back on government spending and destroy jobs.” The Capital News has not published what Mr. Cannan has read elsewhere: there are almost six unemployed workers for every job vacancy reported to Statistics Canada by employers, rising to about 10 unemployed workers per vacant job in

some provinces. Last year, the unemployment rate for offreserve aboriginal Canadians was 12.9 per cent, a full 5.6 per cent higher than for non-aboriginal Canadians. The rate would have been much worse if people living on-reserve had also been counted. In Vernon, unemployment was 15.4 per cent in March before seasonal hiring kicked in. In Kelowna, the food bank had to ask Alberta to truck in 25,000 pounds of food because applications for assistance are up 12 per cent from last year. Canadians need jobs, not political spin, and we need those jobs now. (Corporate taxes have been cut 23 per cent since 1980, representing $46 billion per year less that lands in public coffers. If the cuts authorized by this government alone were uncut, the $12 billion per year coming in would go a long way toward job creation. The corporate tax rate would still be 18 per

cent less than it is in the U.S., and two per cent lower than the world average of 23 per cent.) Canadian workers also need an extension of EI benefit periods until required jobs materialize. (There was $57 billion in the EI fund until the government raided it of all but $2 billion in 2010. That’s a problem Canadians should insist that this government address.) And we need the legislation revoked that allows employers to pay Temporary Foreign Workers up to 15 per cent less than Canadian workers in the same jobs, thereby driving down the wages for all workers. This is a country of taxpayers who happen to employ politicians like MP Ron Cannan, not a corporate welfare state whose objective it is to increase profit margins for employers at the expense of Canadian workers and their families.

area of the blockage, infection due to bacterial overgrowth and severe dehydration. The clinical presentation of foreign bodies depend on the location of the object and whether the object caused a partial or complete obstruction. The most common symptom associated with gastrointestinal foreign body is vomiting. In a complete abstraction the vomiting will be profound and frequently will be accompanied also by lethargy, loss of appetite and depression. A pet with an untreated case of complete obstruction will probably die within three to four days. In a partial obstruction the symptoms will be less severe and intermittent. The animal will lose weight, but as long as the animal keeps drinking it may live for three to four weeks. Foreign bodies are usually diagnosed by imaging. Some objects can be seen on a plain x-ray, in other cases the object itself cannot be seen, but the shape of the intestine reveals typical pattern that highly suggests the presence of a foreign body. Sometimes a contrast x-ray is required. In this type of test the animal is fed by a special dyeing material that

Public Notices PUBLIC MEETING Notice is given that City Council will hold a public meeting on: Tuesday, August 7, 2012 at 6pm Kelowna City Hall, 1435 Water Street Council Chambers In compliance with Council Policy No. 359, the following liquor primary license amendment application is currently under consideration by Kelowna City Council:

2125 Enterprise Way Lot A, District Lot 127, ODYD, Plan KAP83862 LL12-0007 The applicant is requesting Council support for the proposed Liquor Primary License application. Proposed Change in Liquor License Type: From a current food primary capacity of 197 persons (157 indoor and 40 outdoor) to a proposed liquor primary/food primary capacity of 197 persons (103 indoor liquor primary and 0 outdoor liquor primary, balance to remain food primary). Total capacity of 197 remains unchanged. Owner/Applicant: Northland Properties Corporation / Chop Steakhouse & Bar Comments can be made in person at the public meeting, or submitted online by email to cityclerk@kelowna.ca, or by letter to the Oﬃce of the City Clerk, City Hall, 1435 Water Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 1J4. Presentations at the public meeting are limited to a maximum of ﬁve minutes. If a person has additional information they shall be given further opportunity to address

helps determining if there is obstruction and its nature. Some foreign bodies can also be diagnosed by ultrasound or an endoscopic exam. Once the diagnosis of foreign body is established, the treatment depends on the location of the object and the pet’s medical condition. If the pet’s condition allows it, the vet will repeat the x-rays in order to assess whether the object is moving and can pass on its own. In many cases a surgical intervention is required. In simple cases the surgery involves only removing the object. In more complicated cases, where the blockage has caused permanent damage, the surgery is more involved and may include a partial removal of the damaged intestinal segment. Beside removing the object most animals also require hospitalization with intravenous supply of fluids till the animal gets back on track and is able to drink and eat on its own. The treatment usually also involves medication such as antibiotics and electrolytes supplementation. Prevention is very important and may spare your animal from getting through a very painful and potentially life threatening condition. It is im-

portant to pet proof your house. Keep away any object that your pet might ingest. Make sure that the toys that you give to your pets are large enough so they cannot be swallowed. Also make sure that the toys are made of good quality and cannot be broken into pieces easily. Some dogs tend to chew on objects more than others, I would keep away toys from these kind of dogs, better be safe than sorry. It is very important to make sure that your pet will not have access to garbage and garbage bins. Some dogs have extreme tendency to chew on an object when they are walked outdoors. If that is the case with your dog and you feel that you are having difficulty controlling what your dog chews on, you can consider walking it with a muzzle on. If your pet shows any of the symptoms mentioned, especially severe or intermittent vomiting, take it to your veterinarian for an assessment.

Some insights on what can grow under a tree

rowing plants under trees can be very challenging due to shady conditions, dry soil and competition from tree roots. Small plants are easier to plant between roots and get established faster than larger ones. For best results, plant in early spring or fall. Most shade and part shade plants have only a two to four week bloom time so select plants with interesting foliage. Another consideration is leaf drop. If the tree has small leaves like a honey locust, these can be left as natural mulch. With large-leaved trees such as maples, leaves may need to be raked off and shredded and then tossed back on the plants as mulch. In this situation, use

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele plants that will be easy to rake over. Because walnut trees secrete a substance which is toxic to some plants, always remove walnut leaves and put into the yard waste bin. Keep access in mind for picking from fruit trees and collection of nuts from the ground under nut trees. Planting under trees with dense shade will be the most challenging. Dense spruce trees are best left with their limbs extending down to the

ground. If they have been limbed up, for a maintenance free solution, cover the area with woody mulch and allow the needles to drop to continue to add to the mulch. For native pines and firs, use what naturally grows under them in the wild. Some options are: Oregon grape, snowberry and wild rose shrubs; kinnickinnick and pussytoes ground covers; and Idaho fescue grass. Some spring blooming plants to try in part shade are: ladies mantle, Geranium ‘Cambridge’, and Geranium macrorrhizum. Spring bloomers Bergenia, Epimedium (barrenwort), Anemone sylvestris (windflower), and lambs ears will grow in full or part shade as will

BERGENIA and hen and chicks provide contrasting foliage texture as they hug the trunk of a honey locust tree in the author’s garden. ostrich fern. Spring bulbs can do well under deciduous trees, blooming before trees leaf out. It is best to use bulbs that will naturalize as they are the strongest. In part shade, Centranthus ruber (Jupiter’s beard), Nepeta (catmint), and feverfew will repeat bloom if deadheaded. Many Sedum and Sempervivum (hen and

chicks) varieties do well in part shade. Lamium, a spreading ground cover for full or part shade, has attractive variegated foliage and will bloom repeatedly if spent flowers and foliage are sheared back. Variegated green and white ribbon grass spreads rapidly in full or part shade. Silver foliaged Cerastium tomentosum (snow-

Big White manager heads up task to feed and transport private security force

TREVOR HANNA, the food and beverage manager at Big White Ski Resort, has taken a familiar local mascot with him to London, where he is currently in charge of feeding and transportation of the private security detail at the Summer Olympics.

The London Summer Olympics will carry a little added significance to Big White Ski Resort. That’s because Trevor Hanna, the food and beverage director at the ski resort, has been hired to fill a key adminstrative role at the Olympics. Hanna is in charge of feeding and transporting the security detail for the Olympics, a task that he previously carried out at the Vancouver

CONTRIBUTED

Winter Olympics in 2010. “It is a huge task,” said Michael Ballingall, senior vice-president of Big White. “He is responsible for feeding and the transportation of all security staff outside of the British army personnel. He will be looking after thousands of people on a 24/7 basis throughout the Olympics.” Ballingall said Hanna left for London a month ago to start prepar-

ing the security detail logistics. He said Hanna has a unique ability to deal with pressure situations and with the challenges he will face over the next two weeks. “He will be living in the middle of it (the Olympics),” Ballingall said. “London will be rocking 24/7 for the next two weeks…the only reason you will know it’s night is because it will be dark.”

Party line votes in Parliament reflect social group dynamics

e are soon approaching the one-month mark since the Conservative’s budget bill became law. Prior to its translation from bill to legislation, Bill C-38 was the centre of a 24-hour voting marathon in the House of Commons. While Liberal MPs Justin Trudeau and Marc Garneau tweeted about bacon and coffee, Conservative MPs cheered with each winning vote. But despite the external celebrations, there were many Conservative MPs who stood in opposition to various aspects of the bill, which became clear in the weeks leading up to the voting. But despite their personal issues with the bill, Tory MPs voted along the party line and Bill C-38 was passed, with outrage from many. In reality, voting along party lines is a necessary and integral part of our political system; if each MP was given free reign to vote in whichever direction he chooses, it’s unlikely that legislation would be passed quickly or effectively. But despite my understanding that party disci-

CONNECTING WITH YOUTH

Amber Krogel pline is a required component of democracy, I can’t help wishing that it wasn’t this way. Seeing MPs voting against their individual beliefs and values, which their constituencies elected them for, hardly encourages the idea that our country is evincing certain merits of democracy. But ironically, as we fume about others putting their values on hold

‘‘

…IN THE SAME WAY THAT IT CAN BE GOOD STRATEGY FOR MPS TO VOTE ALONG PARTY LINES, WE ALSO NEED TO KNOW WHEN TO KEEP OUR OPINIONS TO OURSELVES.

to play the political game, we showcase the same reality in our own lives. While most of us don’t belong to our own political party, we each have our own niche or social group. High school is a vivid example of this. A 10-minute wait at the bus stop after school is enough to observe that each cluster of teenagers can be given a general nametag: The hipsters, the math nerds, the “We (heart) Lululemon Club,” and so on. But this continues after high school too, and in fact, most of us belong to more than one social group. Within each of these spheres, there is a set of expectations and social norms that are more or less adhered to. The problem is that each person is more than their social nametag. We all have our own individual beliefs and values, and sometimes these run contrary to those of the people around us. But too often, our actions are a reflection of our desire to seamlessly fit in rather than a reflection of what we stand for. What is even more

troubling is the reality that we often don’t even realize this. Instead of thinking for ourselves and discerning what our standards are in the first place, we of-

ten mindlessly follow the party lines of our social group. However, in the same way that it can be good strategy for MPs to vote along party lines, we also need to know when

to keep our opinions to ourselves. And if we can’t differentiate between the times that call for being quiet and the times that call for voicing our opinions, we

can always follow Marc Garneau’s example and talk about bacon. Amber Krogel is a graduate of Kelowna Christian School. AmberSKrogel@gmail.com

ce for the Okanagan club to take a run at the PBL crown. “We have a very good, strong hitting team and we think we match up well against any team in the league in that department,” said Yates. “As for our pitching, we’re 100 per cent healthy for the first time probably in about 60 days. We go into the weekend with every kid healthy, so that’s a bonus for us.” The No. 2-seeded A’s will open the round-robin format Friday at 2:30 p.m. against the Reds. On Saturday, Okanagan will play North Shore and top-seeded Nanaimo. The top two teams will collide on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. in the PBL championship game. This season, the A’s posted a Kelowna team’s first ever winning record (32-16) in the PBL, ear-

STAFF REPORTER

In a season of many firsts for the Okanagan Athletics, the Kelownabased club hopes to write one more piece of history before closing the book on the 2012 campaign. The A’s will play for their first ever B.C. Premier Baseball League title this weekend in Nanaimo. Okanagan, the host Pirates, Coquitlam Reds and North Shore Twins make up the PBL’s Final 4 Championship beginning on Friday afternoon at Serauxmen Stadium. The regular season champs, the Langley Blaze, won’t be in the mix after being upset in the first round of the playoffs by North Shore. Athletics general manager Gary Yates said all the ingredients are in pla-

ned their highest ever finish (tied for third), and last weekend won their first ever playoff series. Kelowna has had teams competing in the PBL since 2004. Okanagan took down the Abbotsford Cardinals Saturday at Elks Stadium, winning the best-ofthree first-round series in straight games. In Game 1, James Ward’s RBI single in the bottom of the seventh scored Morgan Lofstrom to push the A’s past the Cards 8-7. At one point, the A’s had the game well in hand with a 7-2 lead, but the Cards made it interesting with five runs over the final two innings to tie the game. Yates said the fact that Okanagan emerged with the win in Game 1 was once again a credit to the

team’s character. “The players have never given up this year, that’s kind of been their

trademark. There have been a lot of situations where they’ve been down in the seventh and they

seem to find a way to come back. With the power we have in our bats, this has been a very resi-

lient team all year.” In Game 2, with momentum on their side, Okanagan rolled over Abby 11-0. Dillon Kakoshke tossed five innings of shutout ball, while Nathan Ackerman drove in four runs to complete the sweep for the A’s. Dawson Yates added three hits and two RBIs, while Nolan Handley had three hits and scored twice. With one weekend and four games of baseball now separating the A’s and their first PBL championship, Yates expects the team to be zoned in on the task at hand. “All the boys are super excited to be going to the final, but that being said they know there’s more to be done,” he said. “We celebrated our playoff win when it happened, it was important to them, but now the guys have moved on. They’re very motivated and focused on this coming weekend.” To follow the A’s at the BCPBL championship, visit www.bcpbl.com. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Sun get by Broncos, Local Olympic rowers advance prep for Rams Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With a roster turnover of nearly 50 per cent from last season and an influx of young, inexperienced rtalent, the Okanagan Sun expect to be a work in progress early in the 2012 B.C. Football Conference campaign. That much was evident Saturday afternoon in Salmon Arm as the Sun managed a come-frombehind 15-12 victory over the Kamloops Broncos in pre-season action. “We had 70 guys dressed and when you have the changes we’ve made, you’re going to get a lot of guys not understanding the tempo of the rgame, the new plays, the systems they’re really seeing them for the first time,” said first-year head coach Gavin Lake. “In general it was a great experience for our younger guys, our ttwos and threes (backups) to get in there and see what it was all about.” The Sun overcame a 9-1 half-time deficit, needing a 12-yard touchdown

pass from rookie quarterback Cam Bedore to Jesse Kendall for the winning points in the fourth quarter. Linebacker Brandon Donkers scored the club’s other major on a 70-yard interception return in the third quarter. Lake was fully prepared to take the good with the not-so-good in the Sun’s only exhibition game, and that’s precisely what the new head coach saw. “Our defense, given the rotations that were going on, did a fantastic job,” Lake said. “They were stuck with not too good field position a number of times and really responded well. “Special teams were outstanding, they suffocated the return game, and our coach (Jamie Boreham) there did a great job with our players.” On the lower side of the ledger, Lake said neither the kicking game nor the offense were quite up to speed. “Offensively, we marched the ball reason-

ably well but we killed ourselves with penalties and some imcomplete passes,” he said. “We have a rookie quarterback (Bedore) who needs some reps and he’s going to get those as time goes on. We have a lot of young guys and this is a process. It’s not going to happen overnight.” Lake and the coaching staff will spend much of the week studying video as they prepare for the Sun’s B.C. Football Conference regular season opener this Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. The Langley Rams, who knocked off the Sun in the playoffs in 2011, will provide the opposition. “The Rams are going to be very fast, skilled and athletic,” said Lake. “We’re going to have our hands full, but we’re going to see them three times this season. So we need to recognize that, build on this game by game, and continue to get better.” Kick off between the Rams and Sun Saturday at the Apple Bowl is 7 p.m.

Overton commits to Heat for 2012-13 rugby season One of B.C.’s top young rugby prospects has decided to keep his talents right at home. Okanagan Mission Huskies standout Sam Overton has signed on with the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s rugby program. The winner of the first ever Courtney Walls Bursary, Overton turned down offers from more established schools to stay to remain in Kelowna where the game continues to evolve. “It’s going to be a really good experience to be part of the revolution of rugby at UBC Okanagan,” said Overton on his choice to attend UBC Okanagan in the fall. “There’s a lot of funding and effort put forward for it this year and I’m really looking forward to be part of it.” As captain of the OKM Huskies rugby

squad he led the team to a 10-1 record and a fifth place finish at the provincial championships, the school’s best ever finish. After the championships, the six-foot 195-pound hard running flanker who can also play eight and inside center, was one of 10 recipients of a B.C. Rugby scholarship. Entering into the Faculty of Management at UBC Okanagan, Overton is preparing to play the role of student athlete and balance his schedule appropriately. “I’m really going to have to work on organizing my time and stuff and there isn’t going to be as much time sitting at home and watching TV. “It’s mainly going to be sport and sitting around studying. That’s something you’ve got to accept going into it,” admits

Overton. Overton’s desire to help build rugby into a major sport at his new school is “the main reason I’m really looking forward to being part of UBCO, as it [the UBC Okanagan Heat] develops into a critical team in BC, and it becomes up there with UBC Vancouver for instance.” Rob O’Brien, the rugby coach for the Heat and the driving force behind rugby’s growth on campus thinks this is a great place for Overton to develop to his full potential and reach his goals. “We are committed to developing the Heat pugby program into one of the best in the country,” said O’Brien. “In order to make this happen, we need to attract top players and retain quality homegrown players such as Overton.” points out O’Brien. “With

Local athletes competed in Revelstoke (July 14 and 15) and in Salmon Arm (July 21 and 22). Logan Lalonde had two productive meets, earning first-place finishes in nine of his 10 events. This earned him gold medal aggregates in the Division 3 boys category in Revelstoke and Salmon Arm. In a show of sheer determination, Lalonde managed to medal despite slipping off the blocks on two occasions. Joining Logan at the top of his own division was swimmer Matt Tran who dominated the Revelstoke meet, with a trifecta of first place finishes in the 200m IM, 100m breaststroke and the 100m freestyle. Matt also claimed the Division 6 gold medal in Salmon Arm, placing first in all six events. In Salmon Arm, Emalie Schueler convincingly won the girls division 4

Muscle pulls on the soccer pitch Scientists discovers genes related to our IQ level Jennifer McKay CONTRIBUTOR

It’s often identified by many outside of North America as The Beautiful Game. We’re talking about football, or soccer as we call it here in North America, a sport loved by millions, played by millions. It’s as much fun watching it from the sidelines as it is playing on the field—unless you have an injury that is keeping you on the sidelines. Soccer is a sport that uses the leg muscles more than any other in the body. Stretching, strengthening and massage are three ways that can help start the season off right and reduce the risk of initial or eventual strains or injuries that could impact your game. Stretching and strengthening are equally important as they create different results for the muscles.

A stretch is going to elongate the muscle which will help prevent it from being tight or short and restrict the joint or joints that it crosses from achieving full range of motion. Strengthening is going to develop each muscle so that it works with the rest of the muscles, allowing each to function without restriction. Some key areas to focus on stretching and strengthening are the gluteus muscles (your buttocks) the quadriceps and hamstrings (the front and back of the upper leg), abductors and adductors (the outside and inside of the upper leg). The gastrocnemius and soleus (the calf muscles) below the knee are also important. Another muscle group that needs attention is the hip flexors, one of the quadriceps muscles—the rectus femoris—falls into this category as well.

All of these muscles work together to create a great runner, kicker and passer. But imbalances between any of the muscle groups could create potential injuries. Having a regular massage is another way to maximize your playing potential this year. A deep tissue, circulatory massage will keep your muscles loose and reduce the risk of injuries. As we exercise our muscles, there are tiny tears that occur in the muscle fibres which can create scar tissue and tightening of the muscle. A massage is a great way of breaking down the scar tissue, and realigning the fibres. Also, as the muscle is constantly contracting and relaxing during activity, there are toxins and blood that can pool in the muscle. That can cause congestion and prevent the muscle from functioning

at its optimal level. Circulatory massage is going to flush out the toxins and replenish the blood that supplies the muscles, giving them the ability to work as hard as you have trained them to work. A massage can also help prevent severe post workout soreness that usually occurs at the beginning of the season, as well as any time you work your muscles harder to achieve a higher functional level. As a soccer player, I have experienced beginning of the season strains, and soreness after practices and games. As a massage therapist I have treated a wide variety of injuries brought on by soccer. Book an appointment with your registered massage therapist or book in with me and we will help you start your season on the right foot.

e’ve known for quite some time that intelligence seems to run in families. Until recently, we did not know the specifics of any genetic cause for this link or how much is the result of the influence of nurture on an individual’s development. An international group of researchers have now identified several key genetic variants that are associated with increased intelligence in those who have them. A network of genes linked to increased head size and larger volume in the hippocampus (a brain structure important in learning and memory), have also shown a correlation to IQ scores—those who have this particular gene variant score a little higher on standardized IQ tests than those without it. This finding is the strongest direct genetic link so far for intelligence and has spurred scientists to continue using the same strategy to locate more genetic variants associated with brain structure and IQ. Twenty-four genetic variants within six genes have been identified that are associated with differences in the structural in-

In their study, the researchers measured the insulation of neural pathways and found the level of insulation affects how efficiently the brain functions and also how well it resists disease. Although many of these genes were already known, they had not been linked to brain integrity or intelligence before. Of course, this is very interesting as it takes us closer to understanding the genetic building blocks behind different human characteristics— but as in most things human, the presence or absence of these genes is not the only way intelligence can be gained. Nature and nurture both play a role. A person does begin with a genetic predisposition and then our environment does much to further shape our development— in both positive and negative ways. Even the expression

of our genes is affected by our environment and nature and nurture are inextricably intertwined throughout a person’s life. In this study, the presence of these specific genetic variants accounted for only slight increases in IQ—one or two points on average—leaving much room or other factors to contribute to intelligence. An IQ test is also only one measure of one’s capability. A recent study of child prodigies found that some of them had relatively normal IQ scores. Their amazing ability could not, therefore, be accounted for by this single measure. Memory differences were more remarkable than overall IQ. It seemed, however, that even this could not adequately account for their performances. And, although basic intelligence is a good quality to have, every person can work toward fulfilling his or her potential by continuing to learn new things and engage with the world.

City shows an appetite for Taste of Downtown Wade Paterson

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an incredible turnout; it far exceeded any of our estimations. Last year we had around 200 people show up throughout the day. (Saturday) we were well over 600 people.

STAFF REPORTER

If numbers tell the story, then Kelowna was hungry for the Downtown Kelowna Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent event. Hundreds flocked the downtown streets Saturday to take part in the second annual Taste of Downtown. Jonathan Roy, a member of the DKA concierge team, said that this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event was three-times larger than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an incredible turnout; it far exceeded any of our estimations,â&#x20AC;? said Roy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had around 200 people show up throughout the day, (Saturday) we were well over 600 people.â&#x20AC;? The purpose of the event was to promote some of the 90-plus eateries that can be found in Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hub. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The downtown is saturated with a number of different restaurants. Many people, even locals, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down here.â&#x20AC;? Participants of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event picked up food passports from the DKA tent, which had a map and information for 29 participating restaurants. People then went to the locations to try out samples and stamp their passports. Those who got 20 of 29 possible stamps were entered into a draw for a variety of prizes. Roy said that Taste of Downtown forced people to try food and drinks that they might not have otherwise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people told me they found their new favourite restaurant.â&#x20AC;? With several DKA events in the past year, including Small Shop Saturdays, Roy said the association is working hard to show everyone what Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core has to offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Downtown Kelowna is a beautiful placeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to encourage locals to spend more time down here.â&#x20AC;? wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

The B.C. Court of Appeal has reversed that finding, injecting some practicality to what had become a technical and esoteric debate. The human rights tribunal had determined that an equity partner at the

Among other Robert things, the code proSmithson tects employees from discrimination in employment. Faskenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had attempted to force equity partner John McCormick to retire from the practice of law, at age 65, in accordance with the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partnership agreement. McCormick filed a complaint of

discrimination pursuant to the Code. Faskenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argued (rightly, in my view) that the tribunal had no jurisdiction over the matter because McCormick was not in a relationship of â&#x20AC;&#x153;employmentâ&#x20AC;? with the firm. The tribunal disagreed, gave a broad, liberal, and purposive interpretation to the code, and held that McCormick was employed by Faskenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the context of how that term is used in the code. On appeal, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supreme Court upheld that decision. Reviewing the tribunalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier decision, the court gave voice to the quasi-constitutional nature of human rights legislation

and also adopted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;broad, liberal, and purposiveâ&#x20AC;? approach to its application. The court stated that it would be inconsistent with the codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objectives to exclude a category of persons from its protections as a result of using a strict, legalistic view of their status at common law. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have thought, previously, that anyone would consider law firm partners to be a category of persons requiring protection. Regardless, the court also noted that Faskenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partnership agreement contemplated the kind of control traditionally present in an employer/em-

ployee relationship. It gave the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management control over the type services partners provided, how they were provided, whom they were provided to, the partnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation level, etc. Now, as sometimes happens, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court of Appeal has reversed the earlier findings of both the tribunal and the lower court. The court of appeal has ruled that a partner in a limited liability partnership is not an employee of that partnership for the purposes of the code.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™

Still Def ying The Odds UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being. UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.

Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.” People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efﬁcacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”

Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into theatmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.

UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com

better position to borrow and repay an increased debt level. A mortgage broker will shop from multiple lenders to get you the best deal for your mortgage. After you get your mortgage set up with a mortgage broker, use a life insurance broker to get the best deal for your mortgage / life insurance needs. A mortgage broker may offer you mortgage insurance that pays them an additional commission, but you will get a better deal and save money with a life insurance broker. The real estate industry will wait for the impact of the new mortgage rules on their industry. There could be a reduction in home prices and a slow down on house sales. A reduction in home prices combined with low interest rates can be a positive time to purchase or refinance a home.

Extraordinary beneﬁts have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years.

Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”

Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.

The changes may mean that consumers may have to wait longer to purchase a home, or may need to consider a smaller home. Purchasing a home with a suite to rent supplementing your monthly mortgage payments will pay off your mortgage years ahead of schedule and it can also allow you to purchase a home otherwise unaffordable. Interest rates are still at a historical low point. Interest rates will rise in the future resulting in higher interest rates charged on mortgages and consumer loans. How much house can you afford? As a starting point to find out if you can afford to purchase your first home, or to purchase a more expensive home, prepare a budget summary and track your household finances. A balance sheet will summarize the income in and all the expenses back out in your own household. The net amount left over is hopefully positive, resulting in an additional amount of positive cash flow each month. When your cash flow is positive, you are in a

B.C. Court of Appeal ruling reverses decision based on human rights code Smithson from B1 That being the case, McCormick’s complaint was not within the jurisdiction of the human rights tribunal and he could not seek the protection of the code in response to the imposed retirement. In effect, the B.C. Court of Appeal found that McCormick could not simultaneously be a partner in the law firm and an employee of that firm. That makes a lot of sense to me. The court determined that the control and direction exercised by the firm’s elected management over individual part-

ners did not change the fact that partners are not employees. As such, they do not come under the protection against discrimination which the code offers to employees. Not even a “broad, liberal, and purposive” application of the code changes that. At least two aspects of this sequence of decisions are notable to me. First, I’m always amazed when a decision by an expert administrative body such as the human rights tribunal is upheld by one level of court but is then reversed at the next level. I’ve never grasped

how it is that the leading legal minds in our society can look at the same question but arrive at completely opposing conclusions. It truly points to the fact that there is no “right” answer to legal issues— winning simply means that the final panel looking at the matter agreed with you. Second, my own (admittedly very unscientific) observation over a period of time is that expert administrative bodies have a tendency to expand their own jurisdiction. I don’t suggest they do it knowingly or intentionally—it just seems to happen.

It occasionally takes a strongly-worded decision by, say, an appeal court to snap everyone back to reality and to place the jurisdictional line back where it belongs. I’d say the recent decision of the B.C. Court of Appeal in McCormick’s case had that effect and, in my own view, that’s a good thing.

City facility appealed to three earthbound spirits

Hells Angel violates bail terms

Mike Rowland CONTRIBUTOR

Erica (an alias) was the first of three earthbound spirits to come forward— bold, outspoken and expressive. She was quick to tell me that as a California artist, she enjoyed bold expression. “Breaking boundaries” was her passion. Erica succumbed to breast cancer in 1968 at the age of 43. In 1993, her earthbound spirit attached to the Kelowna Art Gallery because of its contemporary architectural design. “It isn’t stuffy looking like the museum galleries,” she says. Erica then tells me why she stayed behind (that is, why she chose not to cross over into the light at the time of her death). During life, she didn’t believe in heaven and was quite vocal with her opinion that here was no after-

life. Therefore, she chose to stand firm to that conviction at the time of her death. She has since decided she is ready to reincarnate because she says “life is grand.” All the years that Erica remained at the gallery, she was never aware of another earthbound spirit who attached to the building in 1997. This unnamed female spirit tells me she died in Buffalo, New York, in 1978 at the age of 53. When I asked how she died she shared the picture with me—as if she invited me momentarily into her living room. I watched as she used a paperclip to dig lint out of an electrical outlet and witnessed the electrical jolt that flung her across the room. She tells me “No home is worth losing your life just to keep it clean.” She expressed her concern about how her

needed to move on with his life and she stepped away, eventually attaching to the Kelowna Art Gallery because of her appreciation of art. One more earthbound spirit roamed the property, that of a young woman who died in 1886 at the age of 25 while giving birth. She chose to remain to try to help the children she left behind. Her story was that of the hardships experienced by many pioneer women. Earthbound spirits seem to retain the personalities they developed during their lifetime. The connection with

them can feel as close as talking to the person next to you in the grocery line. This particular day, we met the spirits of three very different women from equally diverse lifestyles who all chose to settle on the same property because of their one commonality—a love of art. Interestingly, each of the three female spirits, occupied the same property for more than a decade, yet neither was aware of the other until we connected with them for the purpose of helping them to cross.

The man who’s believed to have brought the Hell’s Angels to Kelowna is behind bars for breaching his bail, and asking the court to let him go again. Joseph Bruce Skreptak, 45, appeared in a Kelowna courtroom Wednesday for the first leg of a bail hearing that’s set to continue Aug. 2. The details of the hearing are under a publication ban, but Skreptak’s charges are a matter of public record. He’s charged with aggravated assault, assault and break and enter for a 2010 incident. For that matter he’ll be in court in December. He’s also facing charges related to a major weapons seizure in Salmon Arm. That matter will go to court at Salmon Arm in September.

In fact, preventable injuries are the leading cause of death for British Columbians between the ages of one and 44, and claim the lives of more children in the province than all other causes combined.

These injuries devastate lives. They also place an enormous burden on our health care system: at over $4 billion a year, the care and rehabilitation of victims of preventable injuries is one of the most significant costs to our provincial budget.

In 1962, the town of Kelowna had about 15,000 residents and a brand new theatre. From the beginning, the Kelowna Community Theatre has truly been â&#x20AC;&#x153;the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theatreâ&#x20AC;? with citizens playing a big role in its funding and construction. Today, the small town has grown into a thriving, vibrant city with a theatre that is celebrating 50 years of live entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entire community is invited to join us this September for a gala that will commemorate the theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past, and celebrate the present and future,â&#x20AC;? said Randy Zahara, the community theatre manager. The Golden Anniversary Showcase takes place Sept. 13, 7:30 p.m., and will feature some of Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest performers. That list will include Ballet Kelowna, the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, the Theatre Kelowna Society, Wentworth Music, Dance City Academy and singer Robert Fine. This red carpet event will be filled with some of the best live entertainment ever to grace the Kelowna Community Theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This showcase is a celebration of the contributions that individuals, community organizations and local, national and international performers have made to the theatre over the past 50 years,â&#x20AC;? said Zahara. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the evening and the entire 50th season, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed and inspired by the talent of the performers that step onto our stage.â&#x20AC;? Tickets for the Golden Anniversary Showcase are now available at a cost of $15 per person. Tickets can be purchased at selectyourtickets.com, by calling 250-7625050 or by visiting the box office at Prospera Place on Water Street. Tickets, if available, can also be purchased at the door on Sept. 13. To recreate a little of the 50-year history, a Facebook event page dedicated to the theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anniversary has been created. The public is encouraged to share their individual theatre stories online. In addition, you can also send stories, photos or even old programs directly to the Kelowna Community Theatre, located at 1375 Water St., or by email to rzahara@kelowna.ca. For more information or to get a listing of theatre events delivered directly to your inbox, sign up to the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e-Subscribe program by visiting Kelowna.ca/theatre.

More service locations established to assist local veterans with issues Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan made an appearance at the Royal Canadian Legion last Friday to announce that veterans can now access services in more locations within his riding through a new partnership between Veterans Affairs Canada and Service Canada. “Our government is determined to provide hassle-free service to veterans where and when they need it,” said Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs, in a statement read by Cannan, “Veterans can now drop off applications and supporting docu-

mentation for disability benefits and the Veterans Independence Program in any of the Service Canada offices located in their community.” The initiative comes in the wake of the veterans affairs office services being centralized in Penticton, which drew criticism from local veterans. Cannan said the Veterans Affairs Canada/Service Canada partnership has already changed the reimbursement process for health-related travel so veterans no longer need to submit receipts with their travel claims.

As well, VAC has improved the Veterans Independence Program process. This means some 100,000 veterans and their families will receive two up-front payments per year which can be used toward grounds maintenance and housekeeping services and they will no longer have to submit receipts for these services. More information is available at the Veterans Affairs Canada office in Penticton, or either online at veterans.gc.ca or by calling 1-866-5222122.

SLEE, FREDERICK CLARENCE 1919 ~ 2012 We are very sad to announce the peaceful passing of Frederick (Fred) Clarence Slee on July 26th at 92 years of age. He was predeceased by his loving wife of over 60 years, Marie, in 2003. Fred will be lovingly remembered and missed by his children: Barb Byrne and Ron (Cathy) Slee; his 3 grandchildren Jennifer (Bruce) Byrne, James (Melanie) Byrne and Erin Heard; his 5 great grandchildren Jordon, Kate & Camryn Byrne and Marcus & Peyton Heard; his sister Elsie Radford and brother Don (Helen) Slee; and many, many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family. His positive attitude and humour made him a special man to everyone, a role model for many, and he will be dearly missed. His passion for detail, his time on his computer, and his work at the cabin ﬁlled many hours as well as his new love – Sudoku. Dad was a long-time member of the Independent Order of Foresters (IOF) assuming many executive positions and making countless friends across the provinces and in the USA. He also held the longest record for bowling in a league at the Rutland Lanes, and was miffed when his recent illness wouldn’t allow him to participate this past year. Dad was born in Surrey, BC, and has lived in a number of different communities, but he has called Kelowna his home for over 50 years. He and Marie lived their lives to the fullest here with their family and many friends. Fred’s family extend a very heartfelt “Thank you” to the staff at Kelowna General Hospital and the Central Okanagan Hospice for their care and personal attention during his illness. A Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, August 2, 2012 in the chapel of Valleyview Funeral Home, 165 Valleyview Road, Kelowna, BC

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen feast in a field This year’s Okanagan celebration of local food, wine and farming is being held in the Central Okanagan, at the former McCoubrey Farm in Lake Country, now owned by Matt and Molly Thurston and called Claremont Ranch Organics. It’s the fourth Feast of Fields event, put on by FarmFolk CityFolk in the Okanagan Valley, featuring a couple of dozen gourmet tastes from some of the best restaurants in the Okanagan, along with paired sips from some of the top local wineries, breweries and distilleries. To accompany this four-hour, wandering on-farm feast there is live, local music. The emphasis, as it is in this column, is on local, seasonal products, which are wonderfully abundant by mid-August, from fruits and vegetables, to meat and seafood; local breads and jams, salsas and pastries. I’ve been to every Okanagan event so far as a volunteer and had a chance to do some tasting when my tasks were done, and it is well worth the entry fee. Obviously lots of people agree with me because every event has sold out before it opened, so get your tickets well ahead of time. Funds raised go to worthy causes promoting the consumption of local food and support for local farmers. The date is Sun., Aug. 12, 1 to 5 p.m. Details at: www.feastoffields. com and click on Okanagan. Tickets can also be purchased online or from Choices Market in Kelowna. For more recipes and ideas for using fresh, local food, in season, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, at local bookstores, wine shops or wineries. Along with 200 or so recipes, it also includes wine pairing suggestions by acclaimed wine writer John Schreiner.

JASMIN DOSANJ / CONTRIBUTOR

Okanagan Saag Paneer Pakoras This recipe contributed by Pappadoms - Taste India Restaurant is the dish they will be serving at this year’s Feast of Fields at Claremont Ranch Organics in Lake Country Aug. 12. Jas Dosanj says this makes a light summer appetizer combining soft, savoury Indian flavours from the paneer and the crunch from local spinach. Pair these with the 8th Generation Vineyard Integrity Frizzante 2011.

PAKORA: 3.5 oz. (100 g) grated paneer l large white potato 1 tsp. (5 ml) fresh ginger 1 Thai green chili 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 1 tsp. (5 ml) Poppadoms garam masala 3.5 oz. (100 g) spinach leaves

BATTER: 3.5 oz. (100 g) chickpea (gram) flour 5 oz. (150 ml) water pinch of Poppadoms garam masala 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) salt

Paneer can be made at home using local milk, or it can be purchased from Indian shops or from Superstore. Boil the potato and grate it; peel and chop the fresh ginger and seed, then finely-chop the Thai green chilli. Roughly chop fresh, local spinach leaves for both the pakora and the batter’s outer covering. Combine all the pakora ingredients together to form a smooth dough-like texture. Use your hands to divide the mixture into 10 equal, bite-sized balls. In a mixing bowl, make the batter by combining the chickpea flour, water and seasonings. Scatter the roughly-chopped spinach leaves on a tray. Coat the pakora balls with the batter, then roll each in the spinach leaves and set aside. Heat a few inches of deep-frying oil in a frypan or fryer until it reaches a temperature of 300 F on a deep frying thermometer. Fry five pakoras or so at a time for about three minutes, until golden and crispy. Drain and serve hot with a cool dip such as raita, or cucumber yogurt. Makes 10 pakora balls.

3.5 oz. (100 g) spinach vegetable oil, for deep frying
