BCGEU job action hits Kelowna Kelowna’s Powick Road was one of four areas in the province being picketed by members of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union Tuesday. About 30 members of the Ministry of Labour, Agriculture, Health and Environment office took part in job action during working hours. Approximately 170 other members from offices in Surrey, 100 Mile House and Campbell River also took part in Tuesday’s strike. Byron Goerz, component chairperson of the environment, technical and operational services with BCGEU, said the goal of Tuesday’s job action was to make all of B.C. aware of the current labour dispute between the union and the government. “We want to draw the public’s attention that we’re just looking for a fair settlement,” said Goerz. “We’re picking targeted areas where we can remind folks that we don’t have a contract.” Goerz said that the BCGEU is eager to get back to the bargaining table to sort out a deal. “The last offer we put on the table was a cost of living increase, plus one

per cent,” he said. “We’re at a bit of a loss why we can’t come to an agreement, especially given that we’ve put on the table a number of different ways to increase government revenues that would more than pay for what we’re asking.” Goerz said that the public feedback was mostly positive on Tuesday. “I haven’t seen anything negative. We had some honking and some waving. “We do our own polling about what we’re asking—within our membership and also in the general public—and our polling shows that (the public) is willing to support a reasonable settlement for our membership.” Those who picketed were all non-essential service workers. “We have a couple of conservation officers working out of this location, but they are essential services so they were on the job.” Goerz said he isn’t sure what the future holds for the BCGEU. “We don’t have a clear plan right now because what we’d really like to do is be back at the table. “I anticipate we’ll probably see some more targeted actions throughout the summer if we don’t get back to the table.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

Two boats, gas bar damaged in Shelter Bay fire Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Two boats and a small gas bar were destroyed at Shelter Bay Marina in West Kelowna early Wednesday morning. West Kelowna assistant fire chief Kerry Klonteig said the fire started shortly after 5 a.m. “There were no injuries. When crews got on scene, they knocked on a few of the boats

(near) the dock that was basically involved,” said Klonteig. “There were a couple boats that had occupants that were staying overnight and sleeping on their boat. They woke them up and took them out of harm’s way.” Four engines and 20 firefighters responded to the fire, which took about 40 minutes to knock down. Klonteig said two boats were affected by the fire.

“One sailboat was basically destroyed. Another kind of antique cruiser boat had some damage on the one side that was exposed to the fire. “The small gas bar at the end of the dock was destroyed.” Investigators were at the scene Wednesday afternoon, trying to determine the cause of the fire. Klonteig said it is too early to determine whether or not the fire is suspicious in nature.

Former West Kelowna mayor to lend her services to Red Cross Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

When the world’s next natural disaster happens, former West Kelowna mayor Rosalind Neis will have 48 hours to decide whether or not she will get on a plane to help those in need. Neis’s journey with the Red Cross began after she got a call from the organization in January. “I’d actually applied to them about three years ago and forgotten all about it,” said Neis, an operating room nurse at KGH. Since then, Neis has done extensive online training, visited Ottawa twice for courses and taken part in a simulation training exercise. Neis said that she learned there are two major branches of the Red Cross: The International Federation of the Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red Cross. “The ICRC’s mandate is to protect and assist the victims of armed conflict and armed violence—as such, we work in situations of war, armed violence and political tensions,” said Simon Schorno, head of media relations for the ICRC. But according to Neis, that branch didn’t appeal to her as much as the

IFRC, which focuses its efforts on areas that have been struck by natural disasters. “My interest is more in the disaster relief area; I’m 50 now and I don’t think I can outrun a bullet,” she said. Neis and 29 others took part in a realistic training course in Schomberg, ON this past April. She said that the team of 30 was put in a field with several crates of equipment, similar to what would be dropped off by a plane in a real disaster zone. “We set up the hospital, the anesthesia machine, the operating room table and all the tents. “There were no amenities, nothing. You’re in the bush and you’re setting this all up…it took about three days.” After the imulated Red Cross camp was set up, Neis and her teammates were called into action. “They did a mock thing at midnight where they said, ‘Incoming,’ and there were 25 people that showed up with amazing makeup. It looked like they had gashes, cuts and they were carrying limbs. “You’re just on such a rush, it all seemed so real…that’s the kind of preparation and real life training we got, to see what it’s like.” Neis said that the ex-

perience also taught her a bit about herself. “I have a hard time not being in control or in charge…what I learned from the week in the bush is that other people are just as capable, just as smart and just as able to lead and make decisions. I learned that it’s OK to be a follower.” Now that Neis has completed all of her training and gotten all required immunizations, she just needs to fill out a few more documents before she’s added to the Red Cross’ roster for disaster relief. “A natural disaster occurs and the government tries to assess it and see if they need any help… once they’ve officially requested assistance, the Red Cross sends an alert to all the people on their roster—you have 48 hours to confirm that you will be there. You drop everything and go.” Leaving at a moment’s notice isn’t easy, but Neis said she feels like it will be worth it. “I’ve spoken to a lot of my colleagues that have gone and done this sort of work—not with the Red Cross, but with churches or Rotary. They come back kind of changed, in a good way. “Also, I’m a mom and I’ve got kids and I want to

Neis added she is fond of the way the Red Cross provides assistance to those in need. “They’re really all about empowering the people of the country they go to. They don’t want

to come in and provide health care for six months then leave—they want to train local people to take over for them. “All the (equipment) that the Red Cross takes over there, they leave be-

hind for that country and those people to keep on using.” For more information or to donate to the Canadian Red Cross, visit redcross.ca.

Cost to fix McKinley Road jumps as city tweaks its plan Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A few last-minute tweaks to the plan to realign a portion of a notoriously dangerous Kelowna road will boost its anticipated cost by around twothirds. Kelowna city council agreed Tuesday to spend an extra $182,000 to smooth out a sharp corner

of McKinley Road. That amount will be tacked on to the original city contribution of $300,000 and $55,000 from ICBC, amounting to a project total of $537,000. “We believe that this request to council will be enough to satisfy the requirements to complete the project in its entirely,” said Peter Truch, transport and mobility manager.

Among other things the extra dollars, which will come from the city’s rural road reserve, will be used to create a more comprehensive environmental monitoring plan for drinking water quality in the Glenmore Ellison Improvement District’s McKinley Reservoir. “With the environmental monitoring, one of the things that arose,

that wasn’t envisioned, was that the rock we’re blasting away and filling the reservoir with has to be washed,” explained Truch. Also, there was an additional concrete barrier that wasn’t envisioned in the preliminary planning stage, but during a safety audit a need for it became clear. Finally, things like the HST and a rising cost for

construction also put upward pressure on the total. Improvements to McKinley Road were requested after a Kamloops woman died as a result of driving her car into the McKinley Reservoir last December. There have been three accidents on the road since 2008, including one last December where a young woman drowned after her

car left the road and ended up in the water. Initially the call for change it elicited wasn’t well received by city staff. They noted that there hadn’t been any incidents where vehicles left the road and ended up in the water between 1996 and 2008. With some political pressure, however, staff started to look at ways to

improve the road. The $537,000 plan includes blasting rock to fill up a portion of the reservoir. It will support a less winding realignment of the road and some concrete barriers. The tendering process will get underway this month, and Truch said he expects construction will take place in the fall, when the water level is lowest.

Police busy over long weekend but it was a party atmosphere Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population boomed over August long weekend, but it amounted to little stress for area Mounties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Friday to Sunday we had about 650 files for the entire city,â&#x20AC;? said Const. Kris Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fairly high amountâ&#x20AC;Śbut over the long weekend thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30,000 extra people, so

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusual.â&#x20AC;? Hot weather and a couple of large-scale events lured the masses to the city, but it was the sports and music festival Centre of Gravity that had the biggest impact. Downtown streets and the lakeshore were teeming with the 7,000 or so festival revellers, yet it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a pronounced source of stress for Mounties.

Only 35 police files were associated to the park where it was held and only two of the complaints logged look like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll amount to charges being laid, said Clark, noting they had extra police patrols and a contingent from the Integrated Gang Task force to keep on top of matters. Paramedics, however, had a harder go of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;BC Ambulance was very busy,â&#x20AC;? said Clark.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vast majority of incidents police were called to deal with were alcohol or drug induced intoxication with many people being sent to the hospital due to the severity of their state.â&#x20AC;? Overall, however, Clark said that it was a successful event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was working Sunday at the event and I was having a great time,â&#x20AC;? he said. Outside the festival perimeters and hours,

however, there were a few more problems. Drunks getting behind the wheel offered a few enforcement challenges, and one in particular stood out to Clark. A 42-year-old Kelowna man is facing multiple charges after fleeing from a police roadblock and refusing to provide a breath sample. A Central Okanagan traffic services officer was conducting a roadblock at Abbott Street and Leon

the community both for his business acumenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he started and ran the Fabricland chain for many yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as his work with organizations such as United Way, The Rotary Centre For the Art, the Southern Interior Cancer Centre and the local Jewish community. Kotler moved to Kelowna from Calgary in 1985. After he sold his interest in Fabricland, he went into property development and built the Madison condominium building downtown in which he lived until his death.

For the record A cutline that appeared with a series of photographs and a story in the July 26 Capital News (Special Needs Anglers Delight In Fishing Forever, page B6) contained incorrect information. The main picture showed Linn

Patterson with the fish she caught, not Lucy Depatie. Also, Annette Vielfaurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was spelled incorrectly. Vielfaure gave her third-place trophy to Depatie, who was listed as tying for third with Vielfaure.

Big John Bates is coming to town

Find us on Facebook

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Big John Bates is on his way to town, though this time he’s floating a musical adventure without the Voodoo Dolls. For the last couple of years the Vancouverbased musician—who got his start in Annihilator, Canada’s top-selling metal band, then formed an act touring with burlesque dancers, Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dolls—has been floating around with bass player Brandy Bones writing a heavy Americana garagepunk album. “I’ve lived in the boat for about five years,” said Bates. “My father used to be a boat captain and my brother gave me one and then I just kept upgrading from there.” Today, his floating musical paradise serves as the ultimate jam studio with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s French horn player mooring a few slips away and a cello, banjo, violin, bass and three guitars on board. Describing the band’s new sound as “rustic punk,” publicity for the al-

bum to be released in Germany next month states right up front it’s “like being serenaded with a rusty hammer.” “It’s definitely an extreme departure, but there are so many different textures and sounds people are definitely liking it,” said Bates. Inspiration for the musical about-face stems from Bones, an Americana, country-influenced bass player from Montana. Bates and Bones first started playing their music in public, while touring the States drummer JT Massacre, who rejoined the band after a two-year absence. For this Penticton-Kelowna-Kamloops tour, he’ll be incorporating tuba and organ player Khadijah, originally from Singapore, and taking in a little of the Okanagan summer. “I have got a lot of friends in the Okanagan,” said Bates, noting his brother lives in the area. “We always have to schedule a day off when we’re there.” And while he’s certainly spent his fair share of time on the water, he’ll likely have to leave the 40-

Police sweep nets drug dealers The RCMP’s Kelowna Property Crime Unit and Crime Reduction Target Team recently did a massive sweep of streetlevel drug dealers. “The Kelowna RCMP continues to use an intelligence-lead, researchbased approach to reducing crime by targeting efforts toward high-vol-

ume offenders and known crime hot spots,” said Const. Kris Clark. “And that’s exactly what the Property Crime Unit and Crime Reduction Target Team did when they arrested 11 alleged drug dealers for 12 counts of trafficking earlier this summer.” With a combined total

of 198 convictions, 46 of which are drug related, and six outstanding unrelated charges, they certainly have quite the history. In fact, between them, there have been 87 police files this year alone (Jan.1 to present). One person charged is deemed to be such a prolific offender that he has been placed

on the National High Risk Offender List. “We are very pleased with recently released statistics showing a downward trend in both violent crime and property crimes, but that hasn’t stop our continued efforts towards our crime reduction strategy,” said Clark.

NEWS ▼ DESTRUCTION

Vandalism to irrigation system threatens local farmer’s fruit crop Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Vandals with an apparent penchant for destruction have put an East Kelowna orchardist’s livelihood at risk. Kewal Singh Mann’s fruit stand and irrigation system were smashed Monday, and unless

there’s a significant downpour in the next 10 days, the heat could wipe out an estimated $75,000 worth of fruit. “Across 17 acres they took a sledge-hammer and vandalized the whole system,” he said, noting water flowed through some areas until it was cut off. “The trees need a

lot of water in this kind of heat.” Short of Mother Nature’s intervention, however, Mann will try to fix the damage that’s been done although it’s too unwieldy a project for one person alone to tackle. “It will be hard,” he said, adding that he’d welcome any help from the

Police release suspect sketch Police have released a sketch of the man they believe was behind a lewd act at the YMCA/YWCA two weeks ago. Kelowna Mounties received a report of an indecent act at the YMCA, 375 Hartman Road, July 23 just after 6 p.m. “An unknown man apparently approached an eight-year-old girl and lured her into the family change room where he exposed and fondled himself in front of her,” said Const. Kris Clark. A week later, it’s believed the same man returned to the scene of his crime.

The Kelowna RCMP received a report of a suspect sighting at the YMCA in Rutland, Aug. 2 at 4 p.m. “The man matched the description of the suspect that had exposed himself to an eight-year-old girl the week before. The man fled the scene prior to police attendance,” said Clark. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man with tanned skin, 40- to 50-years-old, with a thin, muscular build and between five-foot-five and five-foot-eight tall. Anyone with any information regarding the

community. As it is, he will have to bear a heavy financial burden, as crop insurance doesn’t cover the damage that’s been wrought. “There’s no money to help,” he said. “We’re losing more trees and more crop and nobody’s covering that. They said ‘this is vandalism, this is not hail

and not rain. You need to get somebody else’.” There are also lingering questions about the futility of starting again, as this is the third strike against him since the start of summer, although Mann said he’s not giving up. Mounties have launched an investigation,

however, said Const. Kris Clark. “I don’t know much about the recent vandalism where there was just a single pipe hit, but this one is extensive. It would have had to be multiple people. It took some time to create that kind of damage.” Clark also said he believes it’s an isolated in-

cident and that someone appears to be targeting Mann. “Whether it’s a personal vendetta or professional, we just don’t know,” he said. Mann said he doesn’t know anyone who’d want to hurt him. To offer help, contact Mann at 250-498-9413

Passionate about food

suspect man’s identity is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP and ask for Const. Tim Churchill, at 250-7623300, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.crimestoppers.net to report.

Ten-minute take-down Kelowna RCMP took just 10 minutes to respond to a call and capture a suspect in an alleged stabbing. Unconfirmed reports say someone was stabbed at a house in the 1800-block of Abbott on Wednesday. Within 10 minutes a suspect had been arrested and victims taken to hospital.

Soccer team deserves a medal

nless you’ve been totally ignoring the Olympics, you know Canada’s women’s soccer team lost 4-3 in extra time—mere minutes away from going to penalty kicks— to its closest, fiercest rival, the United States. You know Canada was going up against the team ranked No. 1 in the world, a country that has won the last two Olympic women’s soccer gold medals, and hasn’t lost to Canada since 2001, a span of 43 games.

It was a game Canada wasn’t supposed to keep close, let alone lead three times. Christine Sinclair—who is always referred to as the Wayne Gretzky of Canadian women’s soccer—scored three times and Canada was 10 minutes away from surely its biggest win in national team history, and a spot in the gold medal match against the reigning World Cup holders, Japan. But a suspicious delay of game penalty called by the Nor-

wegian referee against Canadian keeper Erin McLeod, followed by an even more suspicious hand ball call against defender Marie Eve Nault in the box on the ensuing free kick, led to the U.S. scoring the tying goal on a penalty kick. Canadians from Victoria to St. John’s, Nfld., were livid over the calls. The players were stunned. The coaches were shocked. The ref’s calls and the final result aside, Monday’s match

will likely set off a boom for women’s soccer in this country. It was a classic game, one of the most entertaining matches of all time. And that boom could grow bigger if Canada wins the bronze medal Thursday. A result this inspiring, hardworking group of athletes so richly deserves. Vernon Morning Star

What constitutes news goes sideways during Olympics A s a transplant to the Okanagan who might have stopped by the Apple Triathlon once or twice to watch the athletes cross the line, it was neat to see a few familiar faces in Great Britain this week. Triathlon, unfortunately, turned out to be a bit of disaster for the Canadian Olympic team. Paula Findlay delivered a heartbreaking performance with her last place finish, however predictable it now seems to have been, and Simon Whitfield hit more of a career-ender than a speed bump when he fell over one of the road humps in his race, crashing out of the Games.

This is what the Olympics is all about, though; it’s two weeks of emotional highs and lows. Or this is the line we’re sold. For individual athletes, no one really doubts there’s a lifetime of hard work and dedication at play, but as more people book out of network television land, lured by the options available on the Internet and freedom from ridiculous cable bills, the plot becomes less believable. And if ever there was reason to

question the whole event, it was the day NASA managed to land its Curiosity rover on Mars and we all had to wait until 15 minutes into newscasts to Jennifer hear about it, because Smith sprinter Usain Bolt had won the Olympic 100-metre dash. The Earth has a few problems these days: Global warming, death of biodiversity, famine and so forth. Exploration of the universe and developing an understanding of what makes it tick seems, therefore, pretty

WORDSMITH

relevant to everyone’s lives. Yet, as democracy seems to forever play second-fiddle to corporate greed, the Olympic Games gets higher play from newscasters than something that might shape the future of humanity. Whether one is the type to follow the ins and outs of the Enbridge pipeline debate or not, this must seem off kilter. Profits being paramount, we’ll likely wait some time to see Curiosity headline the news, however ironic this might be to the viewing audience. More than likely, when the Olympics is over and we’ve finally put the

lid on the strange apologies from athletes for “letting down the nation,” and a few more people have cancelled capable television, images from Mars will suddenly become the hottest ticket in town. Perhaps someone could get the ball rolling by tracking down a little audio of the scientists’ moms cheering them on and produce a few vignettes on their struggles as gawky, genius teens.

LETTERS ▼ SNOWBIRDS

‘Softened up’ to accept warmongering To the editor: Citizens thrill to “Lie in the Sky” The Capital News’ long weekend edition of Aug. 3 offers an important opportunity to reflect on war propaganda. The cover shows a formation of military jets with the title Aerial Acrobatics. We then read about the “seemingly death defying” stunts of the pilots (“seemingly” because in actuality Snowbird aircraft have been involved in many accidents, including several mid-air collisions, that have resulted in the deaths of seven pilots, one passenger and the loss of several aircraft), and there is even a reference to the Hollywood blockbuster Top Gun. We read how this performance “often manages to pull in extra donations from the awestruck audience” for a charity which helps children. The accompanying photos of blue summer skies with a giant heart made by the jets are good at distracting us from the real role of military jets, but the military connection is not altogether hidden: “From the white smoke ribbon produced for the last man to die in Af-

ghanistan to the plumes of jet stream left by their dog fights, each manoeuvre leaves the audience more enamored.” The implications of the phrase “the last man to die in Afghanistan” are clear. The sound and smoke of military aircraft overhead are supposed to fill our hearts with nationalistic pride, a pride in this case founded in our power over others and an acceptance of the necessity of military action. This bid for the citizenry’s acceptance of Canada’s military operations is strengthened by the warm fuzzy association of jet aircraft with charities benefitting children. The reality is quite different: The Canadian Air Force recently carried out a “helping children” campaign in Libya. Commanded by Canadian Lt.-Gen. Charles Bouchard, NATO planes destroyed much of Libya “to protect innocent lives.” The country now lies in ruins with warring factions imprisoning and executing their rivals. Libya’s Great Man-Made River, for example (which, in an amazing feat of engineering, uses the largest underground network of pipes and aqueducts in the world to tap into water underneath the Sahara and ir-

rigate farms and supply drinking water) was bombed by pilots trained in Snowbird type jets. Of course only countries which don’t have an air force are bombed, so there are no “dogfights”, only “aerial acrobatics.” The general population must always be misled, distracted and softened up in order to support blatant imperialist interventions like Afghanistan and Libya and beyond. The family-friendly Snowbird display is a powerful tool in this campaign. And although we may have some sympathy for the lowly foot soldier drafted by lack of other opportunities into the army, there can be none for the highly trained F-35 pilots who kill from above. Even such pilots may suffer psychological breakdown and thus may become a relic of the past, as we are informed by an Ottawa Citizen headline: Canadian Military Intends To Spend $1 Billion On Armed Drones. The military madness will only stop when the citizens withdraw their approval. Mark Haley member, Kelowna Peace group

▼ BLOOD DONATION

We’d all be more careful if there was no blood To the editor: Re: Your Blood Donation Will Save Someone’s Life, letter to the editor Aug. 7 Capital News. Perhaps the writer should think further into what would happen if no one donated blood or organs for that matter. People would die, no argument there. No organ donation equals no

surgeries requiring large amounts of blood. If that organ is rejected by the body there is a second or third surgery requiring mass amounts of blood. Or the recipient is put on an expensive drug regime in the hopes of forcing the body to accept the organ. How many other people needing a transplant would have to wait

or die before this person’s body accepted the organ or died? The person waiting would either be tying up a hospital bed or waiting in bed at home. If they are waiting at home it is more than likely their spouse or other family member would have to quit their job to look after them. If they quit their job where is the money going

to come from to pay for the medicine to keep them alive until an organ becomes available, the food on the table and the roof over their heads. From your pocket and mine that’s where. I could go on and on but you get the picture, no blood donations and no organ donations would mean that people

died when their time came lessening the burden on an already stressed medical system and family members trying to cope. And maybe just maybe people would think hard before they did something stupid that would cause serious injury to their rather delicate body. Blaine Ans, Kelowna

▼ ALL-INCLUSIVE

W in YW/YMCA more than a token symbol To the editor: I think removing YWCA from the logo of the YM/YWCA is a step backwards. The YMCA may always have been for family values, with healthy value systems and responsible behaviour. Unfortunately, not all who participate are like-minded. All too often a woman, a child or a senior is targeted by destructive individuals and organizations in our society. They are seen as vulnerable, therefore they are a target. These individuals have their own agenda. It won’t make sense to a reasonable responsible person. Individuals and organizations do so because they can. The target doesnt’ report it or they are not believed or supported. Both men and women are in-

clined to look the other way, saying: ‘It’s none of my business,’ ‘Better them than me,’ or ‘They must deserve it.’ However, more often women are more inclined to be aware, receptive and responsive because they may have experienced or have witnessed such behaviour before (most women have). Trust and power is more often abused by men, less often by women. Let’s face it, men are usually physically stronger, hold the greatest political clout, and hold most of the wealth. We get it. Why abuse this power even more? Despite progress being made we have distructive individuals in our midst. Congratulations, you are teaching your sons and daughters how to treat

you when you’re a senior and may at some time be vulnerable. When a boy or young man witnesses his mother being abused he learns this is how you treat women. When a girl or young woman witnesses or experiences abuse she learns to not bother reporting. No one will listen or help. Make the Y a place which listens and is responsive in every case. H2O is the best facility I’ve seen. I’ve worked in some, volunteered in some, and worked out in many. The attitude of staff, men and women, is friendly, positive and supportive to all participants to achieve their fitness goals. There is the greatest diversity of programs of any facility I’ve seen. H2O has a good thing go-

ing—don’t mess with it. It’s not broken. If you must change the name, make it The Y Family Centre, The Y Fitness Centre or The Y For All. I think the change proposed makes men look

like power grabbers who believe women incapable of professional behaviour. That is insulting. I don’t believe this is the attitude of men in general. G.G. Steingart, Kelowna

A coroner’s inquest will take place next week into the death of Brandt Jason Zimmer. Zimmer, 40, died in the emergency ward of Kelowna General Hospital Aug. 15, 2010 while in police custody, having been taken to hospital by officers shortly after his arrest at a Kelowna amusement centre. It is mandatory that an inquest be held into the death of anyone who dies while in police custody. Presiding coroner Norm Leibel and a jury will hear evidence from subpoenaed witnesses to determine the facts surrounding this death. The inquest has been scheduled for Monday, Aug. 13 to Friday, Aug. 17 in Kelowna.

You won’t have to drive for hours to have fun ~ just look around and you’ll ﬁnd plenty to do. Make the most of this opportunity to visit places in your region you’ve never discovered.

WATER PARK… A perfect summer outing. Water parks are good for hours of pleasure for the entire family. CLIMBING… Many centres offer introductory indoor climbing courses for children. Experienced professionals are

NEWS ▼ NORTH OKANAGAN

Storm wallops Vernon area Jennifer Smith CONTRIBUTOR

A storm caused havoc in the North Okanagan Monday night, knocking power out for nearly 6,000 Vernon, Coldstream and Spallumcheen homes. Trees blew down over power lines, some catching fire, and lightning even sparked a fire in the BX area. While BC Hydro restored power to the majority of residents Monday night, some were still in the dark Tuesday morning. Approximately 271 customers living in and around Pleasant Valley Road (between 46th and 43rd Avenues) were expected to have their power restored by noon Tuesday. Crews closed off the section of road to clean up the damage from a large pine tree that came crashing down across the road, next to the cemetery. Tara-lynn Manke and her daughter Elizabeth were at the beach when the storm rolled in and they got a call that their home was narrowly missed by a power pole that the fallen tree took out. “One of the workers told us: ‘That pole almost went into your place,’” said Manke, who lives in the Vernon Springs townhouses.

Thankfully no homes were damaged, but phone and cable lines were strewn across the front of houses and over cars along Pleasant Valley Road. The wind storm put another nearly 6,000 residents in the BX, East Hill, Coldstream and surrounding areas out of power. “Hydro crews were quite busy,” said BXSwan Lake fire chief Bill Wacey, whose fire department also had a busy night dealing with trees on fire over power lines until Hydro crews could arrive. “Everybody was busy. “We had seven call outs since Saturday morning between lightning and trees over wires.” An aspen tree caught fire after it came down across a power line on L&A Road. A similar situation took place on Francis Street. Fire crews were also busy trying to locate and extinguish lightningcaused fires. Lightning struck down near Hartnell Road, causing a fire that crews were back up extinguishing Tuesday. A lightning strike from more than a week ago also had firefighters busy on Saturday. Lightning struck off Aspen Road in the BX July 27, and festered in the ground until resurfa-

cing over the weekend. “Lightning will go straight down into the roots,” explained Wacey. “It sat down on the ground for a week and a bit and then popped up.” While they did manage to douse the fire with some help from the Wildfire Management Branch (WMB), a couple of trucks sustained damage tackling the rough terrain. “It was an extremely inaccessible area,” said Wacey of steep, shalecovered ground. An WMB initial attack crew and forest officer were also in the Enderby/Mabel Lake road area Tuesday on a spotsized lightning fire. Lumby firefighters were also busy dousing a small brush fire caused by the lightning. The entire Kamloops fire zone is in a moderate to high fire danger rating. “With the continued hot and dry weather, it is expected this will climb to high and extreme by week’s end,” said Michaela Swan, fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre. The public is asked to be vigilant with the use of open fire. With the lightning storms over the last week it is anticipated additional fires will be discovered. Vernon Morning Star

BUSINESS ▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE/ROTARY

Tourism grad gains insight into luxury lifestyle Down Under An Okanagan College student experienced an unexpected millionaire’s view of Perth when she flew to Australia as a participant in a unique student exchange program arranged through the Ogopogo Rotary Club of Kelowna. Jena Huber, who graduated this June with her Diploma in Business Administration specializing in Hospitality and Tourism Management, was already a seasoned traveller before she touched down in Australia earlier this summer. It didn’t take long before the 21-year-old realized this trip was going to be different from previous adventures, now that she was a tourism insider. “We ended up getting a tour of the Burswood Casino, and got into the new high rollers Pearl Room where only the top of the top get to play,” said Huber, a native of Creston, B.C. “And then they took us into the mansion.” The mansion turned out to be one of the complex’s two newest additions—the VVIP Mansions—built this year with a combined $25-million price tag. The mansions are part of a $750-million refurbishment of this privately owned complex, making it a vital part of the city’s ongoing effort to boost

tourism to this more remote part of the country. “Even celebrities can’t get in to this place. It was amazing,” she said. During Huber’s 15day tour, she also visited many of the conventional tourism sites like the Perth Zoo, Fremantle Prison, and the Gravity Discovery Centre, and spent time with members of the Perth Tourism Board to witness how a large travel agency organized itself by segmenting its customer service into singles, business travelers and families.

IT HELPS YOU CONNECT IN AN AUTHENTIC WAY WITH THE CLIENT. Jena Huber

Huber said tours such as this, known as familiarization tours, make a real difference when it comes to serving clients. Travel agents need to be able to provide the inside scoop. “Now I know a lot of the ins and outs of Perth. And I can also talk about the similarities between Perth and the Okanagan, such as the climate and the wineries. It helps you

connect in an authentic way with the client.” This marks the third year that a top student enrolled in hospitality and tourism management, offered through the Okanagan School of Business, benefitted from the college’s relationship with the Ogopogo Rotary Club of Kelowna. “Providing enriched educational opportunities for youth from our region is an important goal of our Rotary club,” said Matt Simpson, president of the Ogopogo Rotary Club of Kelowna. Simpson said the local club’s partnership with the Northbridge Rotary Club in Perth allows them to select a top student each year from Okanagan College’s business program to learn about tourism down under. “It’s a wonderful way for these students to gain first-hand knowledge and international experience,” he said. Okanagan School of Business professor Laura Thurnheer said the exchange also provides students with a clear window on career possibilities. “I’ve seen students change their career as a result of this experience,” she said. “Rotary does everything—they interview the students, they create the short list, and they pick up the expenses. The college

“It opened my education to more handson learning experiences, which I think are near impossible to teach in a classroom,” Cannan said. As for Huber’s future plans, she’s spending the summer back in Creston, working for her parents. Then it’s back to Kelowna in the hope of picking up that tourism career

that will have her packing her bags on a regular basis. “This experience was

great for me. I learned so much, and I know it will make a huge difference for my future.”

Credit union expert shares tips on choosing investments

When it comes to investing, one of the most common questions is how should money be invested to maximize returns. Unfortunately, in unpredictable markets and with the many different investment options available, there is no simple answer. Bruce LeFranc, a financial planner at Valley First, points out that while

most investors have a similar end goal in mind—to make more money—they usually have little idea of how to make that a reality. “Everyone wants to see the greatest possible return on their investment in the shortest possible time,” said LeFranc. “However, with the many options available, investing can be confusing. The first step in see-

ing through the financial fog is to fully understand not only what you want to achieve but also what you are comfortable with.” When talking comfort levels, conversation inevitably turns to different investment types. For most, this means putting money into the well-establish registered retirement savings plan or using a relatively new tax-

free savings account. “Many people like the familiarity of RRSPs and TFSAs,” explained LeFranc. “These are solid, relatively safe options as they encourage saving while providing tax benefits. But, ongoing low interest rates mean returns are not as great as they once were. As a result, I’ve seen increasing investor interest

in other investment options.” One of those options is mutual funds, a type of managed investment that pools money from many investors to create greater choice in investments. “Mutual funds are growing in popularity as they offer investors even greater choice,” said LeFranc. “At Valley First, we

have a number of options that let the risk-tolerant invest more aggressively and the risk-averse invest more conservatively. Our members also have the option of splitting their mutual funds investment over a number of categories, spreading the risk and return.” Just like the many options, there are also many types of investors, adds

LeFranc. No two investors are alike. They all have different ideas about risks, returns, access to cash in an emergency or the type of industries or companies they invest in, said LeFranc. By understanding their goals, expectations and comfort levels, financial planners can tailor individual investment options.

What the province is calling an innovative, engaging travelling exhibition for youth is refuelling and heading back on the road for another round of connecting with young people and their families, educating them on labour market trends and the multitude of career opportunities in B.C. JobFest is a rock-concert-themed mobile event that is designed to get youth and young adults excited about their futures, while teaching them about the various tools and resources government has developed to support them in their quest to find their perfect career. During its tour of Northern B.C., more than 3,700 people in rural and remote communities showed up at events. The exhibit features B.C.-based rock bands— including Acres of Lions, who joined the Northern JobFest tour—local community talent and speakers. There are two giant tents that look like amplifiers—one that showcases the online career resources and tools, and one that is set up as a temporary tattoo parlour, where youth can select a removable tattoo of their chosen career and listen to a short presentation about that career while having the tattoo applied—and more. JobFest will come to Kelowna Sept. 15. It will be at the Penticton PeachFest this weekend and in Vernon Sept. 18. JobFest was launched in April and, when it wraps up in October, the touring road show will have visited 50 communities all over the province. The southern B.C. part of the tour kicked off recently in Abbotsford, with Minister of Health and Abbotsford West MLA Michael de Jong in attendance. “JobFest is a great way

to bring the community together and allow youth to learn about the various employment opportunities we have in B.C.” said De Jong. Jobs Minister Pat Bell said the tour provides valuable information for young people. “JobFest is helping youth educate themselves on their options, and learn

more about careers that might interest them— whether it’s a career in the trades or becoming an entrepreneur. It’s a fun, engaging way for them to start thinking about their future.” The project is funded through the Canada— British Columbia Labour Market Development Agreement.

Playoffs elude talent-laden Falcons Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Falcons fell a little short of expectations this summer by missing the West Coast League playoffs. But in the general manager’s mind, it wasn’t for a lack of talent. Mark Nonis rates the 2012 version of the Falcons as one of the deepest, most skilled teams he’s had the pleasure of watching since Kelowna joined the WCL nine seasons ago. After winning 18 of their first 28 games, Falcons looked to be legitimate contenders for the city’s first ever WCL title. However, a less-than-stellar final month of the season deprived head coach Al Cantwell and his club of a post-season berth as Kelowna went 10-16 down the stretch. “I thought it was a solid ball club, and at times a great ball club,” said Nonis, whose team placed third in the East Division with a 28-26 record. “For 80 per cent of the year we had the best hitting team and the second best pitching. We put ourselves in a position and had the opportunity to take a run at it. But when the guys had to win games, they just didn’t step up. They didn’t come through in the crunch. That’s the way it goes sometimes…talent doesn’t always win.” Still, Nonis said local ball fans have never before been exposed to the level of baseball skill which has frequented the diamond at Elks Stadium during the past couple of summers.

More than 90 per cent of the Falcons’ roster comes from NCAA Div. 1 schools, a number that has steadily increased each season since 2004. This spring, an all-time high eight former Falcons were selected in the Major League Baseball draft, including Tyler Wagner, David Otterman and Keaton Briscoe. “It’s amazing to see the level of talent that’s come through this town, it’s grown so vast over the last few years,” said Nonis. “The West Coast League is now one of the most desired places to play for top university players. The league had 55 players taken in the MLB draft this year. The reputation as a top summer league keeps growing.” As for the response of local fans to the product offered by the Falcons, Nonis is encouraged by the growth over the last several seasons. Average crowds at Elks Stadium have risen from 250 in 2004 to right around the 800 mark in 2012. “The town is slowly but surely catching on to the talent that’s right in their own backyard,” Nonis said. “It’s grown about 20 per cent each year and we’d like to see that continue.” Despite the growth,

THE KELOWNA FALCONS finished the 2012 West Coast League season with a 28-26 record, good for third place in the East Division. running the Falcons continues to be a money-losing proposition for the Nonis family which has never finished a season in the black. Crowds of 900 to 1,000 fans per game would get the club much closer to a break-even scenario. Still, Nonis assures money has nothing to do with his family’s motivation for running the club. “This is definitely notfor-profit, and whether we lose money or not we’re going to continue bring-

ing this quality of baseball to Kelowna. Ninetyfive per cent of the people working at the games are volunteers. We’re doing it for the game of baseball itself and the community. “We’ve lost money every year, but we’re inching closer,” Nonis added “We’ve had very good support from sponsors and a lot of people in the community. We’re going to continue our commitment no matter what.” With the 2012 campaign barely over, Non-

is is already busy making plans for 2013. One order of business will be trying to get Canadian-born head coach Al Cantwell back for this third season at the helm. Cantwell returned to Shreveport, Louisiana this week where he coaches at Bird High School. “Al did a great job with our players and we’d like to have him back,” said Nonis. “But we understand he has some life choices and other options he might want to pursue, so we’ll see what hap-

pens.” On the field, the Falcons will lose some key players who are becoming seniors and will be ineligible to return in 2013, including Kyle Pearson, Greg Friesen, Brandon Marris and Andrew Firth. Key players who are eligible to return include Jace Conrad, Cord Cockrell, Cale Coshow and Jerry McClanahan. “We’ll lose some big stars, but if some guys decide to come back, we’’ll have a pretty good core to

work with,” Nonis said. A number of individual team records fell during the 2012 season, thanks to a trio of players. Kyle Pearson (LSU Shreveport) established new marks for at bats (181), hits (59), RBIs (33), home runs (seven) and runs scored (37). Pitchers Cord Cockrell (U of Louisiana Lafayette) and Brandon Marris (Southeastern Oklahoma) set a new standard for wins with seven apiece. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Bowey named to national U18 squad Kelowna Rockets defenceman Madison Bowey will pull on the redand-white, maple leafclad jersey next week at the Ivan Hlinka (world under 18) Memorial Tournament in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Bowey, 17, was one of 22 players named this week to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national under-18 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. The roster was finalized Monday following Hockey Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourday selection camp in Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great time with the boys in Toronto,â&#x20AC;? Bowey said on his Twitter account after being named to Team Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to head to Europe...â&#x20AC;? In his rookie season in the Western Hockey League, the offensively-gifted Winnipeg native scored eight goals and added 13 assists in 57 games with the Rockets. Kelowna assistant coach Dan Lambert said the world under-18 championship will be an invaluable experience for Bowey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever you get

a chance to wear the Canadian jersey, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really special time,â&#x20AC;? said Lambert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully it will be a step towards many great things for Madison with Hockey Canada, the world juniors and everything else that might come after this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big for him for personal reasons, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a chance to gauge himself against the best players in the world his age.â&#x20AC;? Lambert wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be at all surprised to see Boweyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills become a major factor for Canada at the world tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt, the way he moves on the ice, the great skater he is, that should be a big asset for the Canadian team. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an asset at international tournaments like this to have a defenceman who can skate and move the puck the way he does. He should fit right into that role for Canada.â&#x20AC;? It will be Boweyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second time wearing a Canadian jersey in international competition. The 6-foot-1, 194-pound blue liner played for Team West

Liam Hughes homered and single to lead the offense, while Nick Stephenson, Joel Flood, Ryan Moon and Adam Sarafinchan drove in two runs apiece. Ethan Soroka and Moon shared the pitching duties, scattering nine hits and striking out six over seven innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hitting was really going all weekend long,â&#x20AC;? said Cubs coach Mike Chamberlain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really exciting for the kids, they had a lot of support from fans, family and ex-

Local players chosen for international rugby match being played in Kelowna Aug. 18

â&#x2013;ź SENIORS BASEBALL

B.C. Day was a huge day of celebrations for four Kelowna Crows Rugby League players as they were selected to play in front of their home crowd for the British Columbia rep rugby league team on Aug. 18. The Apple Bowl has been chosen to host the first-ever International game of Rugby League in British Columbia, between the B.C. Bulldogs and Utah Avalanche. Local players Freddie Humphreys, Daniel Blasco-Morris, Jared Curry and Neil Fowler were all

The West Coast Authentic Kelowna Jays suffered two narrow defeats and finished up 0-3 at the B.C. senior baseball championships in Prince George. The Jays, the youngest team at the tournament last weekend, were without two of their top pitchers, Jeff May and Dawson Newman. In their opening game, the Jays dropped a heartbreaker 8-7 in extra innings to the Lang-

named to play in this historic game. Selectors named a 25man squad for the representative season which commences with the game in Kelowna on Saturday Aug. 18 at 3 p.m., and finishes in Las Vegas on Nov. 10. Canadian Rugby League Development manager Paul Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe is happy with the quality of the B.C. Bulldogs squad, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very impressive group of players who are out to prove they are the best players in Canada and will be primed to

show the people of Kelowna how good it is to watch a fast, hard hitting game of Rugby League,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe. As far as Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representation goes, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe is impressed by the abilities of all four players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daniel Blasco-Morris is an elusive runner and a tough competitor whose attitude on the field rubs off on the other players,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freddie Humphreys has fantastic ball skills and can get passes away like no other player in Canada. Neil

Fowler basically earned his position from producing an incredible work rate and tackling anything that moves no matter how big or fast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jared Curry has already represented Canada a couple of weeks ago. He is an exciting player to watch.â&#x20AC;? A preliminary game will feature the Rustyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Touch Rugby League final at 2 p.m. Tickets will be sold at the gate for $10 per person. Children 10 and under will get in free if accompanied by a parent.

Provincial silver for Kodiaks

The Kelowna Kodiaks returned home last week with a silver medal from the B.C. Lacrosse bantam C provincial championship. With 14 players on their roster—led by captain Mathew Alcorn, and assistants Tanner Gale and Lucas de Vries—the Kodiaks won two of the three round robin games, then won their crossover game to earn a berth in the final. A 6-1 round robin win over Burnaby Lak-

ers launched the Kodiaks on their winning ways at provincials, followed by an 8-0 victory over the Langley Thunder. In the final game of the round robin, Kelowna fell 7-5 to the Campbell River Ravens to finish in second place in their pool. In the crossover game, the Kodiaks then defeated Cranbrook 11-8 to advance to the gold medal game. In the final against Campbell River, the Ko-

diaks came out strong and took an early two-goal lead. But Campbell River battled back to tie the game 5-5 in the third period. With 5 1/2 minutes left in the third, the Kodiaks’ goalie, Hunter McSeveney went down while stopping a shot from Campbell River. The game was stopped and alternate goalie, Joshua DuBrett took to the net for the Kodiaks. Campbell River scored

the winning goal late in the third period, as the Kodiaks settled for the silver medal. The Kelowna Kodiaks bantam C team was under the guidance of head coach Randy Gale accompanied by bench staff, Darin de Vries, Rod Torres and team manager Susan Gale. The Kelowna Kodiaks team was formed at the end of June.

Kelowna athlete silver in South Korea B A L A N C E P O I N T

Team Kelowna has returned home from the 46th International Children’s Games in Daegu, South Korea with a silver medal. Brett Selby won silver in his weight class in the sport of TaeKwonDo. Team Kelowna was represented by five TaeKwonDo athletes who attended the Games July 12 to 18. Making up the Kelowna team was: BrookeLynn Grutzmacher, Bryseia Konkin, Brett Selby, Brooklyn Snelling and Thomas Snelling. They rwere coached by Master Trevor Warkentin from Kees TaeKwonDo. The International Children’s Games is an officially sanctioned game under the International Olympic Committee. It brings together children between the ages of 12 and 15 to compete in sporting competitions and cultural events annually. There were over 1300 athletes at the 46th International Children’s Games in Daegu from 79 cities representing 37 countries. Athletes competed in table tennis, swimming, track and field, soccer, volleyball, tennis and TaeKwonDo while also attending Korean festivals and events “The Games are a fabulous experience for youth from our city to be involved in. They are a unique sporting and

cultural experience,” said Heather Schneider, President of the Kelowna International Children’s Legacy Committee. “As Korea is the home for TaeKwonDo, our team was very excited to attend the Games in Daegu. We knew that competition would be very high and so we are very proud of how the team performed.” Brooke-Lynn Gruztmacher and Brooklyn Snelling fought the first day of competition but were eliminated after losing their first round matches. Thomas Snelling received a bye in the first round and then fought for the bronze medal against an opponent from Russia. He lost that match placing fourth. Bryseia Konkin was successful through the preliminary round and was in the match for the bronze medal. She lost that match and placed fourth. Brett Selby was successful in his preliminary match and went on to the gold medal fight. He faced a tough opponent from Patras, Greece, losing the match, but earning a silver medal for his efforts. This silver medal also achieved a Games milestone for Kelowna. The city has now won medals in both the summer and winter International Children’s Games. In 2011 Kelowna won two

Getting to the core of why your core muscles are important Vanessa Milot CONTRIBUTOR

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably heard people talk about â&#x20AC;&#x153;core strengthâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;core weakness.â&#x20AC;? But have you ever learned how important they are? Back and hip pain, gait problems, misalignment or asymmetries and even knee, ankle, and leg pain can often be attributed to core weakness. Your core provides stability for your spine at

all times. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re simply sitting in a chair or running a marathon, your core muscles are at work trying to keep your spine aligned and protected from injury. The start of summer is a high injury time because with a new season comes new sports and activities. A change in activity places new physical demands on the body and the core must be up for the challenge. If the core is weak,

other areas (hips, knees and back) may be recruited to help provide stability. Since these structures are not designed for this task, the outcome may be an overuse injury. Such pain can easily be avoided by first preparing the core for its new summer job. The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;coreâ&#x20AC;? refers to two groups of muscles commonly referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;outer unitâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;inner unit.â&#x20AC;? The outer unit gets the

most attention at the gym because these superficial muscles are the ones we can see. The poor inner unit is commonly neglected because no amount of strengthening will turn it into the coveted six-pack. This is unfortunate because these muscles are the ones that provide the most stability and protection. The inner unit is comprised of four deep muscles: multifidus at the back, transversus ab-

dominus (TA) at the front, pelvic floor muscles at the bottom, and the diaphragm at the top of the unit. Together, these muscles allow the rest of the body to perform challenging tasks, all the while keeping the trunk stable. When starting core strengthening, the first task is to find the muscles of the inner unit. Start by lying on your back with bent knees and feet flat on the floor. Put your index fin-

gers over your hip bones and roll them in and down three centimetres. Your fingers are now lying over your TA muscle. To activate this muscle try bringing your bellybutton toward your spine and draw your two hip bones together. If you feel the muscle flattening under your fingers, you will have successfully found your TA muscle. The great thing about the inner core muscles is

that by activating one, you activate them all. Once you are comfortable finding these muscles, you can then begin to challenge the inner unit by changing the position of your arms and legs or by using exercise equipment such as a Bosu ball or foam roller.

Vancouver man drowns in small Osoyoos-area lake A body found in a small lake in Osoyoos known as Peanut Pond has been identified as that of a missing 56-year-old man. RCMP said the Van-

couver-area man was reported missing by his three friends Sunday at around 1:30 p.m. after the group had been out fishing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The four had been

fishing from shore at Peanut Pond and were getting ready to leave when the male decided to go for a swim, while the other three packed their belongings,â&#x20AC;? said Cpl. Dan

Moskaluk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a short time, the friends went back to look for the male but he could not be found.â&#x20AC;? Moskaluk said the friends used a paddle boat

to go around the pond but still could not find the man and were not sure if he had left the area on foot. RCMP conducted foot patrols around Peanut Pond and Osoyoos throughout

the night looking for the missing man. Arrangements were made for the RCMP dive team to search on Monday morning, but at 7 a.m. a resident told police that a

body had surfaced in Peanut Pond. Moskaluk said alcohol may have been a contributing factor to the drowning and foul play is not suspected.

â&#x2013;ź COURTS

West Kelowa shooting suspect known to police in Penticton CONTRIBUTOR

A man involved in the dramatic police chase last week in Kelowna is well known to South Okanagan RCMP. Charges were approved late last week on three counts including attempted murder with a firearm, robbery using a firearm, dangerous driving and failing to stop a vehicle when being pursed by a police officer against Michael Edward Ellis, 39. Ellis had netted a slew of charges back in June of 2007 after a routine check stop by South Okanagan RCMP who found drugs and guns in the truck he was in with an American man. The truck, which had Washington licence plates, was stopped to check the ownership of a motorcycle in the cargo area. After noticing the occupants were acting nervous and one of the men was attempting to hide a large can of bear spray, RCMP placed both of the men under arrest. Inside the vehicle, RCMP found a loaded Luger semi-automatic pistol with a 15-round capacity, a loaded .38-calibre revolver, a sawed-

off 12-gauge shotgun wrapped in newspaper and numerous ammunition rounds. RCMP also found 180 grams of cocaine, 21 grams of crystal meth, 42 tablets of ecstasy and drug trade paraphernalia. Ellis was sentenced to 12 months for possession of a controlled substance In August of 2007, Ellis was accused stealing a truck that took him and another man on a highspeed chase from Midway to Osoyoos. The pair avoided a spike belt on Mt. Baldy Road, hopped out of the vehicle and began running. They were caught by RCMP with the help of the Penticton RCMP dog unit and RCMP air service. Ellis was sentenced to nine months for this incident. Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon said that during the 45-minute police chase last Tuesday, shots were fired at police officers. The incident started in West Kelowna on Boucherie Road and carried along on Westside Road, ending near Swan Lake in Vernon around 2:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While following the vehicle in an attempt to pull it over, the officer notified dispatch that he

was shot at and requested back up,â&#x20AC;? said McKinnon. McKinnon said it appears the suspects changed vehicles a couple of different times, but could not be specific on how they

did this. During the chase police officers fired shots back at the suspects. Because of this, standard procedure calls for an internal investigation, which is being handled by New

Westminster police. Shawn Adam Wysynski, 32, was also charged with the same counts as Ellis. The third accused, 19-year-old Ashley Collins, was charged with

three counts of attempted murder and one count of robbery using a firearm. Collins suffered a gunshot wound during the in-

cident. The three men have been remanded into custody until Aug. 9. Penticton Western

still have many families contact me asking how they can get their parents to realize the benefits of moving into supportive housing. Many still have the perception that it is a place for â&#x20AC;&#x153;oldâ&#x20AC;? people, or where the elderly go to die. These perceptions are so far from the truth.

It is at least worth the time of seniors to tour the supportive housing locations and stay for lunch. Supportive housing

This alone will aid in improving their overall well-being. Even if seniors only come down for meals and then return to their suites, they interact with others.

Treating migraine headaches by using acupuncture

igraines are severe, chronic headaches that can cause significant pain for four to 72 hours. The frequency with which headaches occur varies from person to person, from several times a month to much less frequently. A typical migraine attack may include symptoms of moderate to severe pain on one or both sides of the head, head pain with a pulsating or throbbing quality, pain that worsens with physical activity, pain that interferes with regular activities, nausea and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. A migraine may be preceded by a “premonition” several hours or a day or so before the migraine actually strikes, which may be experienced as auras (changes to vision, such as seeing flashes of light, and feelings of pins and needles in an arm or leg), feelings of elation or intense energy, cravings for sweets, thirst, drowsiness, or irritability or depression. Migraines usually begin in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. Although much about the cause of migraines isn’t understood,

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman genetics and environmental factors seem to both play a role. They may be due to changes in the trigeminal nerve, a major nerve in the head or imbalances in brain chemicals such as serotonin (which drops during migraines). Migraines may be more common in people under 40, in women, and in people with a family history of migraines. Stress, certain foods, strong stimuli (such as lights, sounds or smells), disruptions to sleeping patterns, physical exertion, changes in the weather, medications, and hormonal changes can all trigger migraines. Western medical treatment for migraines typically involves medications to help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. Unfortunately, medications may cause side effects such as abdominal pain or ulcers or rebound headaches, which is when

New RCA boss set to start work The Rotary Centre for the Arts’ new general manager is scheduled to start work later this month. Patrick LeBlanc, assumes his duties at the RCA on Aug. 20. “I’m really excited to be joining the team at the Rotary Centre for the Arts,” said LeBlanc. “Walking into the RCA was love at first sight for me. The innovative programs, the bistro, the Mary Irwin Theatre, all the activity; there’s just so much going on here, and it has such great energy. He said he can’t wait to be a part of it. “I’m really looking forward to participating in the pottery and painting programs. But what has impressed me most so far has been the commitment and enthusiasm of everyone here at the RCA. It will be my pleasure to get to know the staff, board,

volunteers, patrons, sponsors, and everyone involved with the centre.” LeBlanc has been an arts administrator for more than 25 years, holding management positions with Ontario’s Bach Elgar Choir, B.C.’s Carousel Theatre Company and School, the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island, as well as the National Film Board of Canada, Vancouver Opera, and most recently as managing director of the East Kootenay’s regional arts facility, the Key City Theatre. “My career has taken me all over Canada, but the Okanagan has always been my favourite vacation spot, and now I have the opportunity to live in Kelowna and work with an outstanding organization. It’s the classic “cake and eating it too” scenario. I’m absolutely thrilled to be here.”

a medication stops being effective for the headaches and actually becomes the cause of headaches. Lifestyle changes that can help manage migraines include being well-rested and getting enough sleep, meditation or muscle relaxation exercises, and keeping a diary to identify migraine triggers. From a Chinese medicine perspective, migraines can be caused by

FOR MIGRAINE SUFFERERS, ACUPUNCTURE IS AN OPTION WELL WORTH CONSIDERING.

a combination of inherited constitution and lifestyle factors such as diet and stress, including emo-

tional stress and overwork. Over time these factors can contribute to a pattern of imbalance that leads to migraines. Because there are different causes for migraines, the symptoms that are experienced will differ from person to person, and so will the treatment. An acupuncturist can create a very targeted and effective treatment by catering it to a person’s specific causes. For migraine sufferers, acupuncture is an op-

tion well worth considering, offering both immediate and long-term relief. Initially, acupuncture can help to relieve both the severity and frequency of migraine symptoms. In fact, it is common for people to see relief after a few acupuncture treatments, although more treatments are typically needed to resolve the problem. As treatments progress and begin to re-

balance the body, the frequency of migraine episodes begins to decrease. And long-term relief is possible- many patients reduce or eliminate their need for migraine medication through acupuncture, demonstrating just how effective an option acupuncture can be.

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

JENNIFER PARK, director of resource management for the United Way in Kelowna, has quite the eye for a photo. Kelowna’s United Way is hosting a contest to highlight its new brand, Change Starts Here, and compile a catalogue of pictures worthy of a spot in a local advertising campaign.

Shutters click for social change Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Can you picture social change? No really. The United Way actually wants you to take your idea of what social change is all about, put it in a picture and enter it in an artistic photo contest targeting all the ways the United Way changes lives in this community. “The program and the contest is really to bring awareness to our new brand, Change Starts Here,” said Jennifer Park, United Way director of resource management. The photos will target the United Way’s three main themes: Helping Kids Be All They Can Be; From Poverty to Possibility, and Healthy People, Strong Communities.”

One photo in the healthy people category, submitted by Victor Narynskyyi, shows a man riding the trestles at Myra Canyon. Another, submitted by Shannon and Zoey Stienstra “went artsy” according to Avril Paice, director of community investment. The pair have turned in a picture of a church bell with a quote written onto the photo that reads: “Change the way we think. Change the way we see ourselves. We can then guide others. We can then help the world to change.” Whether it’s a quick snap of a moment stolen from passersby on the street or a painstaking setup that requires just the right light at 4 a.m., the United Way is game to

take whatever its supporters come up with and add it to the collection. The main prize for the contest—a Nikon D3000 camera—should help whomever submits the most impressive photo take their skills to another level. Fortune is not the only spinoff. The pictures will also be used in future advertising campaigns to illustrate the point that the United Way is a very local affair. Dollars raised by the United Way in the Okanagan, stay in the Okanagan, so using local imagery in fundraising campaigns is critical. The second prize winner will receive a photo session at the Everylasting Memories Photography studio with photographer Angela Cutt. Third prize

is a $200 gift card from Nester’s Market. While the contest has only been open a week, the United Way office has received plenty of queries on the challenge. “The only limitation is that you have to have taken the photo yourself,” said Paice. Paice said she believes the contest is taking off because it gives people the opportunity to really think about what each of the categories mean on an individual basis and how that’s seen every day in one’s own backyard. The contest runs until Aug. 31. Contest rules can be found on the United Way’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/unitedwaycso. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

If you have strolled by the Rotary Centre for the Arts behind the Kelowna Art Gallery in recent days, you could be excused if you thought there was some construction going on. The Rotary Common outdoor area has resembled a worksite with a tall fence around it. And it actually is, of a sort. But it has been a worksite for a small group of actors and theatre technicians who are working under the auspices of the Kelowna Summer Theatre Festival (KSTF). A product of the venerable Viva Musica Society, KSTF has transformed the Rotary Common and the front of the Rotary Centre into an outdoor theatre. The summer theatre is employing all of its own actors and technicians. “We decided back in the fall of 2009 that it was time for a change,” explained Peter Kascak, president of the organization. “Due to the downturn in the economy, our former production model was no longer viable, so when Neal (artistic director, Neal Facey) came to the board with this idea, we jumped on it.” That idea, in a nutshell, is to go fully professional, move the venue outdoors and employ young emerging artists. “I’ve always wanted to do repertory theatre with young artists who are just starting their ca-

reers. We provide them with a unique opportunity to work on their craft, give them something to add to their resume and, of course, a paycheque,” Kascak said. With five actors, a stage manager, a site manager and one musician, KSTF has created eight short term jobs this summer. “I am actually quite proud of that,” says Kascak, “and we’ve done this on a very tight budget as well. We aren’t paying anyone a fortune by any means, but they all seem pretty happy.” Actor Andrew Wade concurs, “Prior to the Kelowna Summer Theatre Festival, I had broken even on a couple of Fringe shows, made a small amount of money in a playwriting competition, and earned $300 performing at the UFV Director’s Festival, but other than these small successes, I had not yet found that elusive paid theatre contract. So this opportunity was like blessed manna from the heavens.” Wade said. “And while the company may consider the rates to be humble, any paycheque I can earn doing theatre means I have more time in the future to devote to creating and pursuing more theatre, rather than needing to find my rent through an unrelated job.” Facey and Kascak are quick to point out that the

group could not have done this without a lot of help from granting agencies. “We really scoured the field in search of grantors,” said Facey. “We owe much gratitude to agencies such as the Vancouver Foundation and the City of Kelowna, for their financial support and their enthusiasm for the project.” The summer theatre festival has also received financial support from the Province of British Columbia, Human Resources and Development Canada, BC Arts Council, RBC Foundation and local businesses and donors. “We are very thankful for any all support we have received,” said Kascak. “And the public at large can support our work by buying tickets of course.” Individuals and companies who would like to sponsor KSTF next year can find information on sponsorship and contact information on the KSTF website www.kelownasummertheatrefestival.com . Kelowna Summer Theatre Festival is running until Aug. 12 with two shows: Golf: The Musical and Fortune’s Fools. Both shows are comedies and Kascak said, “audiences are finding them extremely funny.” Tickets can be purchased at the door of the Rotary Centre, call 250717-5304 or go online to selectyourtickets.com.

Make sure you’re in K Comp K Comp Vol. 3 is taking applications from rock musicians to be part of the music festival and recording sessions this fall. Kelowna’s Classic Rock station K96.3 and Music BC host the competition. Already local artists have had the chance to mingle and meet people in the industry at the Music BC Keloha SchMusic BC Boat Party held on July 7 aboard the Boardroom houseboat. Applications for K Comp Vol. 3 will be open until Sept. 10. Once sub-

missions are closed, all applications will be juried by a panel of industry professionals who will whittle down the applicants. On Sept. 12, the top 12 artists will be announced live on air on K96.3—Kelowna’s Classic Rock. Being part of K Comp is only one of the perks for the musicians as they also have the opportunity to take part in a career development series presented by Music BC. Here they receive insider tips and mentoring from some of today’s leading music industry professionals.

This year artists will take part in the K Comp Showcase Series—three shows that will take place during the month of November. A number of Downtown Kelowna venues will host the series and will provide K Comp artists with the opportunity to hone their skills and perform to a larger festival crowd. The competition is a commitment towards the development of the next generation of local artists. To apply visit http:// kcomp.ca.

High-tech Growth in Okanagan Kelowna might seem like an odd place to launch a new online gaming website for North America. But don’t under-estimate the influence of the Okanagan lifestyle, combined with the global approach behind Internet business ventures today. “There are five of us who started this company and have dedicated our lives to building this company, and we all live here,” said Duane Lockwood, the president and chief financial officer for Hoopla.com. “For me I was with a financial services company here for many years and we had decided this is where we wanted to live.” “The questions will become whether or not we need to locate a head office in the U.S. or Great Britain as we morph and grow, but at this stage we are all quite comfortable to have our head office in Kelowna.” Lockwood said since the concept behind hoopla.com began to take shape more than two years ago, even he has been surprised at the growth of Kelowna’s version of the Silicon Valley technology landscape. “I think Kelowna is a bit of a technology hotspot right now.

Proud strategic, charitable, technological and media partners. For more information on charitable partners, please visit www.hoopla.com

When you look at the success of Club Penguin and others, and we’ve just gotten involved with Accelerate Okanagan and see the things happening there, this is a good place for us to be.” “And to be able to work where you live is really great.” From their Manhattan Drive office location, Lockwood and his fellow investors are excited about the Aug. 4 official launch of the hoopla.com gamesite. They feel upbeat about their revolutionary identity behind the website, a charitable approach to online entertainment, looking to tap into a casual gaming consumer market that has grown 130 per cent annually for the last eight years. Lockwood says, “Coming up with a name to represent the convergence of entertainment, charity donation and on-site advertising, was a challenge.” “A staff member’s husband originally suggested hoopla.com. It’s short, precise and exciting, and really seems to resonate with people.” Join the hoopla movement, get hooplafied and play your favourite games for good on hoopla.com

Help make medical equipment available Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR

Illness, surgery or injury can unexpectedly affect a person’s ability to get around and borrowing medical equipment while recuperating can make such a difference. By getting involved in the Health Equipment Loan Program run by the Canadian Red Cross you can help bring a sense of independence and confidence to people struggling to regain their health. There are four volunteer roles available for you to consider. Data entry volunteers track client information and loan activity on the computer, run reports and maintain inventory records. Excellent customer service is offered to clients in-person and over the phone. Equipment cleaning and maintenance volunteers inspect equipment for damage and perform routine maintenance. This means tightening screws, nuts, bolts and belts as well lubricating and replacing broken or wornout parts. An inventory of replacement parts is maintained and all equipment is adequately labeled and numbered. Each piece of equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before being made available for loan. Operations team leaders help manage the lending and receiving of equipment, adherence to policies and procedures,

record keeping, equipment maintenance and customer service. Volunteer management team leaders assist in recruitment, training, supporting, scheduling, and evaluating other volunteers. They also provide support to other team

leaders. All volunteers receive job specific training and become familiar with Red Cross programs so they can act as a resource for the community. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Marie McKier-

nan, Client Service Suppport Coordinator for the Canadian Red Cross. You can phone 250.491.8443 ext 201 in Kelowna or 250.768.8965 in West Kelowna. Her email address is marie.mckiernan@redcross.ca. Wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, canes and bathroom equipment are loaned on a short-term basis to people of all ages. A referral from a regulated health care professional is needed to access specific equipment needed.

Neither hail, lightning nor hurricane-like winds could stop Armstrong’s Caravan Farm Theatre from rolling with its latest outdoor theatrical experience. Although the July 26 opening of Caravan’s The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride went without a hitch, reports came in the next day about the pulse storm that hit Armstrong-Spallumcheen, practically flooding the area in its wrath. But as they say in the business, the show must go on. And Caravan did— without power, no less— and so it came in handy that two vintage cars used in the production were able to light things up, literally, with the use of their headlights. The ingenious ways of Caravan’s always talented cast and crew shone through as they did with this show, written by Sean Dixon, dramaturge by Vicki Stroitch and directed by Caravan’s artistic director Courtenay Dobbie. With the “soundtrack” played by a live band, led by Salmon Arm native Herald Nix whose rhythmic guitar work and smooth tones set us in a country-kind of mood, the play is as fast-paced as the cars that zip on by, and as strong in character as the Clydesdales and

ALL THESE CHARACTERS CULMINATE IN A BANG-UP ENDING, WHERE NOT EVERYONE ENDS UP AS EXPECTED—THIS IS A DIRTY AND DUSTY WESTERN, AFTER ALL.

The play is also a heck of a lot of fun. It’s Bonnie and Clyde set in the wildwoods of B.C., with some fantastic secondary characters setting up the story and the props, thanks most in part to the lanky, hardworking sheriff/narrator Julius Tallhammer. Addressing the audience, and then easing naturally into his Andy Griffith-like role, Calgary actor Christopher Hunt does a superb job of keeping up with the quick pace, literally hanging up props while talking (not an easy feat) and improvising with his natural wit when the horses took a little longer than expected delivering the goods. Tallhammer leads us into the story following the travails of the titular title character, Right Robert Popoff (played

CARAVAN FARM THEATRE in Armstrong presents its summer show, The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride, playing until Aug. 26. with pep and vigor by Toronto’s Greg Gale) who, with his more level-headed older brother Blue Jay (a sound performance by Vancouver actor Darren Dolynski), has been living a life of crime. Dressed in their “work” clothes, 1930s finery of fedoras, pinstripes and suspendered trousers (a shout-out to costumer Christine Reimer for making the men look as dazzling as their smiles), they cause havoc in their hometown of Chickabiddy and surrounds, with equally entertaining names that sound rather familiar. On one job they hold up the local pawn shop, and almost meet their maker in the likes of the martial arts expert shopkeeper (the expressively talented Elinor Holt, who plays multiple roles in the show, including Mary Scrapes whose storyline becomes more apparent near the end of the play). Enter Jenny Lundy (Georgina Beaty, a master of forlorn looks who rocks a slightly southern accent

for reasons unknown). She wants to sell her mother’s ring for some quick cash. The girl is so desperate, she dines on squirrel for supper, but she has a dream of becoming a reporter. God knows why, but at least the girl wants to deliver more meaningful news than the local rag that calls itself a newspaper. Her words so impress Right Robert that he literally sweeps her off her feet—in the coolest getaway scene, thanks to one of the aforementioned vintage cars. Blue Jay, in the meantime, ain’t too happy about his brother hooking up with a dame, but he has respect for Jenny—as it turns out, she can kick a--, well, like a donkey. She’s tough thanks to her hardscrabble life. As the three plan to hit their biggest target yet, British Columbia Provincial Police continue on their tail. Showing no small bit of ego is Bull

Withers (played with baritoned bravado by Bruce Horak), whose love of firearms and the “chase” makes up for his lack of a plan—and brains. All these characters culminate in a bang-up ending, where not everyone ends up as expected— this is a dirty and dusty western, after all. But if John Wayne was still alive, I’m sure he’d say Caravan shows true grit in staging a play that not only entertains in spades, but can even handle Mother Nature in all her wily ways. You’d be amiss to miss this one. The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride continues at Caravan Farm Theatre nightly, rain or shine, at 7:30 p.m. (except Mondays) until Aug. 26.

JEREMY RENNER stars in The Bourne Legacy.

f▼

MOVIE PREVIEWS

Legacy continues without Bourne MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis “A-list” star, Renner has proven himself in movies like The Hurt Locker, Mission: Impossible– Ghost Protocol and The Avengers and his talents in this movie will not only help his career, but will also continue the success of the series. The election in the United States only months away, the timing of the release of the comedy The Campaign is not coincidental. Will Ferrell stars as a long-term congressman who commits a major public gaffe, after which two wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man is the naïve director of the local tourism centre (Zach Glifianakis), but with a cutthroat campaign manager, he soon becomes a contender who starts giving his opponent plenty to worry about. As election day closes in, the two become locked in a dead heat and both are intent on burying each other with mud-slinging, back stabbing and home-wrecking. Also starring Jason Sudeikis, John Lithgow,

Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox and Dan Aykroyd, The Campaign is directed by Jay Road, best known for Meet the Parents and the Austin Powers series. Probably the best reviewed movie released this week is Hope Springs, starring Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones as a devoted couple, but decades of marriage have left their relationship a little stale. In an attempt to spice up their union, Streep’s character persuades her skeptical husband to get on a plane for a week of marriage

therapy with a renowned couple’s specialist (Steve Carell). However the real challenge is shedding their bedroom hang-ups and trying to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place. Director David Frankel previously worked with Streep on The Devil Wears Prada. Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8 in West Kelowna. landmarkwk_gm @landmarkcinemas.ca

ith star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass, The Bourne movie series has become the most successful spy franchise since James Bond. However, since neither of them has returned to the series, the franchise gets a makeover starting with The Bourne Legacy. t Jeremy Renner stars, rnot as Jason Bourne, but rather Aaron Cross, an agent from another CIA black ops program. After the events of The Bourne Ulimatum which resulted in the end of Operation Blackbriar, the CIA decides to dispose of their other black ops programs, which includes the termination of their field agents. Cross escapes from being executed and sets out to expose the crimes of his superiors. Other newcomers to the series include Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton and Stacey Keach, but it is not a complete makeover as Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles. And although Tony Gilroy is new to the director’s chair, he is not new to the series as he wrote the screenplays for the first three movies. I have to give the producers credit and not try to recast the Bourne role after Damon decided not to return. Although not an

NEWS â&#x2013;ź RECREATION

Square dancers take to the high seas on a dancing cruise When Westsyde Squares dance club members Ron and Jan Mills of West Kelowna learned todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of square dancing, they never imagined that one day theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be dancing on a cruise ship. They did just that recently with fellow dancers from around the valley and, indeed, around the world. One of the many varied opportunities to enjoy the square dance recreation is to embark on a square dance cruise. Ron Mills explained that the dancers enjoy all the regular perks of

a cruise except that, at points on the trip itinerary, they gather to dance shipboard or at ports of call. Such cruises are hosted by a square dance caller whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often a professional. Long-time B.C. caller, Chuck Jordan of Coquitlam, anchored this dance cruise with his wife Marguerite. Jordan is popular for his excellent calling skills and jovial personality. This particular excursion originated in Miami, Florida, sailing through the Panama Canal and up

the West Coast to Vancouver. Joining the Mills aboard the ship, Norwe-

Square dance cruising was so appealing to the Hawleys that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already put down a deposit on a trip to Alaska next year. Apart from some impromptu moments of dance fun on deck, scheduled dance sessions took place every morning at sea in the air-conditioned comfort of one of the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luxurious night clubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On top of getting to dance in unique settings, you meet many new people among the other dancers on your cruise,â&#x20AC;? said Millsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Jan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was exciting.

She said it was amazing to find that apart from 70 Canadian and American square dancers who signed-up for the trip, there were also many other square dancers aboard ship. Hearing of the availability of square dancing during the cruise, passengers from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, England, Germany and the U.S. joined in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compatible with the style of dancing because square dancing is conducted in Eng-

NEWS ▼ ENVIRONMENT

Interior Health’s climate action work recognized with provincial award In recognition of its ongoing commitment to emission reduction and sustainability, B.C.’s Climate Action Secretariat and Carbon Neutral Committee has presented Interior Health with a 2012 Climate Action Secretariat Award. The award presentation was made at the Carbon Neutral BC: Build-

ing on the Leadership of B.C.’s Public Sector conference, recently held in Richmond. Terry Lake, B.C.’s environment minister, who was a key speaker at the conference, congratulated IH on its achievement saying Interior Health is to be applauded on the leadership on climate action, and the sustainabil-

ity work carried out across the health authority by its Green Teams. Also highlighted during the conference was an Interior Health initiative to reduce building energy consumption. Interior Health has successfully collaborated with a software vendor to make its utility management software smarter.

The software tracks energy use in IH buildings and allows IH to normalize use with weather. Plant managers, supervisors and others can log in to the software at any time to see their building’s energy performance. This is one of many tools used by IH to help make informed decisions that reduce greenhouse

gas emissions, lower energy costs and improve daily operations. The regions aging and expanding population is placing additional demands on health care and resources. And Dr. Robert Halpenny, president and CEO of IH, believes that we have a responsibility to meet this increased demand without comprom-

ising the environment we live in. “To accommodate for growth, we need to build and expand our infrastructure. And, in doing so, we must ensure we consider the environmental impact, minimizing harm and taking actions to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible,” said Halpenny. Over the last decade,

Interior Health has been recognized with a number of awards for its leadership on environmental sustainability. In June 2011, IH received the Energy and Environmental Stewardship Award from the Canadian College of Health Leaders, making it the first organization in Western Canada to receive it.

▼ WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN

New shops going in where SILK FM used to be located Jan Johnson CONTRIBUTOR

It’s really true that every shop and restaurant you enter downtown has a unique story fuelled by the one-of-a-kind personalities that have created them. Recently I met Max and Gloria Sloan at their wonderful new business at the corner of 1598 Pandosy (corner of Lawrence, in the old SILK FM building). The Sloans are a fascinating couple who have created an intriguing coffee shop called Pulp Fiction. But that’s not all they’ve created; they are also constructing a series of connected shops that all

tie together. Robbie Rare Books specializes in old and rare books in both hard cover and paperback; books about cinema, westerns, mysteries, sci fi—and of course, pulp fiction, those novels with the lurid cover art and chuckle-worthy names like Hold That Scream, Coffin for a Cutie or Blonde Venus. Britannia Antiques carries antique items for the home. Art Deco Nouveau specializes in framed art from the early 1900s. Max tells me that he’s been a collector of vintage books most of his life, and he had to open a business because he’s retired and doesn’t play golf.

While the inner shops will be open by mid-August, Pulp Fiction Coffee Shop is open now and definitely worth a visit. It serves paninis, hot and cold drinks and yummy baked goods. On their menu board, every different coffee and tea is cleverly given a name and illustration from an old pulp fiction novel. Dark wood floors, a waterfall, a stone fireplace, elaborate carved wood shelving and beautiful metal work windows and doors make this a place unlike any you’ve ever seen. What a wonderful addition to our downtown mix. I had no idea how little

I knew about the newest in men’s underwear until I stopped in to visit Ryan Hunter at Behind the Fly (543 Bernard). Ryan was inspired to open his shop after a trip to Seattle where he visited a similar shop and thought: I should do that in Kelowna. With help from the Community Futures program, his vision has become a reality. You won’t believe the gorgeous, bright colours that the modern urban male is wearing “behind the fly.” Prints and solids in bright oranges, greens, yellows and reds—this is a very hip shop. Saxx, My Pakage and Andrew Christian are some of

Habitat for Humanity delivers new home to a Westside family Wade Paterson WESTSIDE REPORTER

The Mengede family stood on a street near an empty lot in West Kelowna Tuesday evening. They were joined by Habitat for Humanity Kelowna workers, members of the media and people who lived nearby. “I see it,” yelled Kiara, as she ran toward her mother, Star, and brother, Keelan. The family watched as two massive trucks hauled both pieces of their brand new prefabricated home up the street. “It almost doesn’t seem real; it’s just wonderful,” said Star. The moment of joy was much needed for Star and her children. When Keelan was 10 months old, Star found out he had Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Her marriage came to an end a short time later. “All of a sudden our family life kind of fell apart. It was very difficult for me,” said Star. “Then I came to Kelowna to become a longterm care aide and I was in a car accident.” Since then, Star has been in a constant battle just to keep a roof over the heads of her two special needs children. Finding affordable housing was nearly impossible for Star, especially because she needs a space that is wheelchair accessible for her son. Habitat for Humanity recognized the tough breaks Star had been through. The organization approached Star and offered to finance a wheelchair-accessible home for her family. “It feels like there’s still hope for everything because sometimes you get knocked down over and over again…it’s really hard to get up. With the kids we take it one day at a time, but this is like Christ-

It’s wonderful—it restores your faith in humanity.” The home has not been given away. The money Star contributes toward mortgage payments will be used to help build more houses. Star said she is also looking forward to helping Habitat for Humanity Kelowna in the future by putting in volunteer hours to help bring homes to others in need. Jacki Wlodarczyk, resource development officer with Habitat for Humanity Kelowna, said it was a special moment see-

ing Star’s reaction Tuesday night. “It shows her that the community believes in her…it’s a forever home and that’s really important for her and her family,” said Wlodarczyk. Although the home is in place, Star, Kiara and Keelan will have to wait to move in. “They have to put the two pieces together and then do finishing touches on the inside,” Wlodarczyk said. “She’ll be moving in September and we’ll complete all the landscaping and the carport on the side with our sponsors after she moves

in.” Habitat for Humanity Kelowna needed to raise $125,000 to completely fund the project. Wlodarczyk wouldn’t give an exact number; however, she said that the organization is still shy of that target. “We’ll have an announcement next week where we’re at with the fundraising exactly. Our ultimate goal is $125,000—we’re reaching it, but we definitely can use more support.” To donate to the cause, or for more information, visit payitforwardkelowna.ca.

WESTSIDE ▼ PINE POINT FIRE

Museum to celebrate first year in new location

Residents quick to snuff out fire near Westside Road Wade Paterson WESTSIDE REPORTER

Quick action by residents of Pine Point prevented a fire from growing or threatening nearby properties Tuesday. Fire crews received reports of a fire at 695 Westside Rd. around 12 p.m. Tuesday, but according to Wilson’s Landing fire chief Derek Fletcher, the fire was under control quickly thanks to the actions of residents. “Somebody was using a concrete saw and some sparks went into dry grass

and it took off from there,” said Fletcher. “With the daytime heating that we have, it progressed very quickly, but the residents were very good at putting out the fire before we even got here.” Fletcher noted there is a fire hose within Pine Point, a gated community of 11 lakefront properties. Residents utilized the fire hose and also brought out garden hoses to help fight the flames. Fletcher said it is important for Westside Road residents to be vigilant

during the hot summer months. “Right now we’re in the high to extreme (warning) of fire behaviour. Everybody has to really watch out—on Westside Road, any kind of a fire will take off really quickly.” Wilson’s Landing volunteer fire crews continued to soak down hot spots and began to build a guard around the area Tuesday afternoon. Fletcher said residents kept a sprinkler running throughout the affected area overnight Tuesday.

The Westbank Museum will celebrate the first anniversary in its new Dobbin Road location on Saturday, Aug. 18, from 2 to 4 p.m. There will be a special dedication to museum founder, Clare Small. Retired Senator Ross Fitzpatrick and West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater will be the guest speakers at the event. The Old Time Fiddlers will provide entertainment while guests are encouraged to check out some classic cars, the alpacas, new outdoor exhibits and a demonstration of the miniature jackladder sawmill. Food, cake and refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to all.

WESTSIDE ▼ LAW

It’s not just drivers who have to be aware of road safety

y father moved last month to live down the street from me. We hadn’t lived in the same city since I left Regina to go to the University of Victoria for law school in 1991. Having been born in 1935, he was 56 in 1991. He is now 77. When he retired, he and his wife moved to live in Brazil, where my father had served as a Catholic monk as a much younger man. We got to see him and his wife for a week or two each year during their annual trips back to Canada. They would rent a car rand drive extensively during their annual pilgrimage, visiting family.

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott The last several years, they borrowed my car. Not having a car gave me more of an excuse to license my motorcycle. Yes, I own a motorcycle. And, no, it wasn’t the product of a mid-life crisis. There was a curious coincidence of my wife surprising me with a Harley along with a dramatic increase in my life insurance.

Since moving here, we have been sharing my car while my father and his wife get settled in before getting around to car shopping. Between my father and his wife, my father has always been the driver. Of course. That’s the way of the world. The man drives. My father collapsed as he was walking home from my house last week. He has no recollection of going down. He found himself laying on the sidewalk, his glasses in pieces. He picked himself up and made it the last bit to his house. I doubt I would have learned of the event if he hadn’t ended up with a big goose-egg on his right

cheekbone. He must have landed on his face. There was that and our wonderful neighbours, who called us immediately after witnessing the aftermath. When asking him about it, my father filled me in that he has been having dizzy spells from time to time, sometimes to the point of falling. He somewhat reluctantly agreed to go to a doctor the next day and now has an appointment booked with a cardiologist. My father’s wife had been away—she was in Saskatchewan for a memorial. She flew back into town yesterday. My wife and I, and the kids, are away camping.

I left my car keys with my father so that he could pick his wife up at the airport and they could run errands. What the hell was I thinking? His last dizzy spell, coming on as he was walking down the sidewalk, hurt only his face and his glasses. What if he had been driving my car? Yes, the dizzy spells were few and far between, and the odds that a dizzy spell would occur while he was driving were very small, but even a small probability is too high a probability, right? I am reminded of retired farmer Mr. Poole. At age 88, he had continued to drive after being

prohibited from doing so because of his extremely poor vision. He was caring for his disabled wife; without his help, she would be in a care facility. He minimized risk by driving extremely carefully, never exceeding 30 kilometres per hour. His level of care and low speed didn’t save the flagperson he killed. Thankfully, my father made it to the airport safely. I am also thankful that my father is less of a moron than I am. He emailed to say that he insisted that his wife drive home from the airport. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, though. We are both morons. My father recognized

that his wife should be driving. How did he and I both miss the boat that he shouldn’t be driving at all until the cause of his dizzy spells has been diagnosed and effectively treated? Had a dizzy spell caused a crash, I would have been as responsible as him, certainly legally and, I strongly suggest, morally as well.

District outlines health facility consultant’s duties

f r The District of West Kelowna hired a health services contractor to investigate options for a primary health care facility on the Westside last month. The scope of work to be conducted will produce findings that will assist in defining what type of medical facility is required. The review will begin in September and is expected to take four months. Former Interior Health executive Joanne Konnert will conduct a needs assessment study to gather relevant data necessary to determine what medical services are currently being provided in West Kelowna and what services are needed. The scope of the contract will require Konnert to compile a list of stakeholders, conduct and assessment of current medical services in West Kelowna, provide guidance in assisting DWK staff to engage residents of West Kelowna, conduct an assessment of medical needs of Interior Health, prepare an analysis identifying gaps between what medical services exist on the Westside and what is needed, identify patient history at KGH for residents of West Kelowna, Peachland and WFN including what types of services are accessed and frequency and, finally, conduct an analysis of

DWK’s ability to establish a medical facility in West

Kelowna. Konnert is the former

head of Okanagan operations for IH, which in-

cludes the running of Kelowna General Hospital.

WESTSIDE ▼ MP’S REPORT

The politics of who, rather than what, are often in play in Ottawa

ne of the questions I am often asked during my summer listening tour, and in particular when meeting with local government representatives, is about the differences between serving on Penticton council compared to being a Member of Parliament. Although there are many differences, one area that stands out is in the terms of disagreement.

Dan Albas On city council it was common that individual council members would

disagree on some issues, but we could often find agreement on others. By contrast, in Ottawa disagreement for the sake of being disagreeable is almost the status quo. As an example, I have noticed that on almost every occasion when the government has changed a policy from that of the former Liberal government, the howls of outrage and condemnation from Liberal MPs and supporters suggests that

there was only one possible way of doing things– the Liberal way. I don’t mean to sound political but on city council, we would often at least consider different policies and ideas and were far less concerned over who authored whatever policy we were contemplating changing. Our goal was to always find a better or more efficient way to get things done, not unlike the objective for the federal gov-

During last year’s 2011 federal budget bill introduced by the government, we honored an election commitment to eliminate direct taxpayer subsidies for political parties. At the time, the outrage from Liberals that the government would dare to change a policy created by a Liberal government headed by Jean Chretien were heard across the nation. The claims from critics even went so far as to suggest that without direct taxpayer handouts for political parties, our very Canadian democratic system was under attack. Over-the-top claims and selective misinformation are becoming a common occurrence. Now, one year later, I believe it is important to revisit this policy created by the government to observe firsthand what has really occurred. Are major political parties floundering for survival without your tax dollars as many critics suggested they would be? The removal of the taxpayers subsidies is being done over a four year time frame and this is the first year where parties will receive less of your money that was based on a per vote subsidy. Last week, the second quarter political party fundraising returns were released publicly and the results are indeed very surprising. For the Liberals, the party who, when in government, created the policy arguing that political parties could not survive without your tax dollars— and in spite of currently being the number three party in Canada— has actually raised more money than the NDP in the second quarter with more than $1.8 million raised in just the past three months alone. For the NDP, who raised more than $1.7million in the second quarter, the total now stands

at $3.74 million year-todate. That is the amount of money the NDP would normally raise in an entire non-election year when the per vote subsidies were in place. The Green Party also had an increase in donations in the second quarter of the year over the first and the only federal party to show a decline was the Bloc Quebecois. The Conservative second quarter donations reached $3.7 million from close to 29,000 donors. The Liberals currently posted over 22,000 donors and the NDP is close to 18,500 donors. Clearly, when taxpayer subsidies are taken away and political parties are required to raise funds from their own supporters they are proving remarkably capable of doing so. In other words, handing over your hard earned tax dollars to political parties was completely unnecessary, and more so when it should be noted that there are already generous tax breaks for those who make political donations. Once the taxpayer subsidies for political parties are completely phased out taxpayer’s will be saving over $ 27 million each and every year. These savings are significant. For example the government’s newly announced loan forgiveness program that helps encourage doctors and other medical professionals to practice in underserviced rural communities has a budget of $9 million. In spite of critic’s false claims to the contrary, ending handouts to political parties is the right thing to do so your tax dollars can be better spent helping Canadians instead of playing partisan politics. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla. dan.albas@parl.gc.ca

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