Forest firefighters contain Oyama blaze Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

A fire burning seven kilometres east of Oyama grew from 3.5 to nine hectares in a couple of hours Wednesday morning, but was 100 per cent contained by late afternoon. Kamloops fire information officer Michaela Swan said crews managed

to get guards and hose laid all the way around the perimeter of the fire by 4 p.m. yesterday. Thirty-seven personnel, four pieces of equipment and two helicopters were battling the blaze as of 4:30 p.m. and Swan said those crews were expected to stick around until about 8 p.m. Overnight Wednesday

a five-person team of contract crews were expected to continue snuffing out the area. Swan said mopup work will likely take place Thursday morning. At its peak, the fire was a rank four, meaning it was a highly vigorous surface fire, spreading three to six metres per minute. By late afternoon it

was considered a low vigour surface fire. Swan said initially the fire burned “quite aggressively” due to the terrain and logging slash. The blaze was first reported to the Kamloops Fire Centre at 5 a.m. Wednesday. “We suspect it is a lightning fire, but a firecause investigation will

have to be completed to confirm that,” said Swan. Chicky Drouillard, owner of Oyama Lake Fishing Resort, was watching the bombers attack the fire from his porch Wednesday morning. “These guys are good…when we get a fire up here, they’re right on it,” said Drouillard. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Canada’s minister of state for seniors was in Kelowna Wednesday talking to both seniors and those who provide programs for seniors about how to encourage active living, community engagement and labour force participation among those 65 and older. Alice Wong hosted a roundtable event with local MP Ron Cannan as part of a series of crossCanada meetings she is holding to discuss key issues that matter to Canadian seniors. “The government of Canada is committed to supporting the well-being of seniors,” said Wong. “We believe the wellbeing of seniors depends Alice Wong on them staying active, staying engaged and staying informed.” To that end, she said it is important that all levels of government, as well as the private sector and social agencies, work together to keep seniors informed about local programs and services. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Wong said she heard a great deal, especially about the potential use of technology to help seniors stay informed. “Some may feel more comfortable using something like a tablet than a full-sized computer,” said Wong. “But others like the more old-fashioned ways of paper, ink and the telephone.” Either way, Wong said she felt it was important to get out and hear what seniors have to say, and to bring back some of those ideas to the Conservative government cabinet table in Ottawa. Wong said, according to Statistics Canada, the Kelowna area has the third-largest proportion of seniors in the country.

WORK CREWS broke ground Tuesday on Bernard Avenue’s revitalization. The construction to Kelowna’s major downtown street is planned to be complete by fall 2013.

▼ KELOWNA

Breaking ground on Bernard Avenue upgrade project Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The city has started preparation work for the major facelift of its main downtown street, Bernard Avenue. Work described as “shallow utility work” started on Bernard, between Richter Street and Bertram Street, Tuesday in preparation for the official ground-breaking of the $14.5 million project Sept. 5. The road work will not only change the look of the Bernard Avenue above ground, but will also rehabilitate underground utility lines such

as sewers, storm drains and water pipes. City roads manager, Pervez Irani said the city plans to be re-build Bernard Avenue in three phases — the first this fall, the second in the spring of 2013 and the third in the fall of 2013. Finishing work, such as an additional layer of asphalt and street line painting, will be done in the spring of 2014. The project is slated for completion, weather permitting, by the start of summer 2014. In accordance with a work schedule set up, in part to placate area merchants concerned about the impact of the road work on their businesses,work on the project will stop at the

beginning of December to allow for the busy Christmas shopping season and then resume in March 2013. During that time, the stretch from Ellis Street to Richter Street will be worked on. Next spring, the lower portion, Abbott Street to Pandosy will be worked on before work stops again to allow for the busy summer tourist season in Kelowna. The third section of the road to be worked on will be from Pandosy Street to St. Paul Street. That work will be carried out in the fall of 2013. Irani said prior to each break in the work, a single layer of asphalt will be laid in order to make the road usable by vehicular traffic.

▼ CITY HALL

During the work on any of the three stretches, the part of Bernard Avenue affected will only be open to pedestrian traffic. The roadway will be fenced off. While not the most expensive road rehabilitation project that city has ever undertaken, because of its location it is expected to be one of the highest profile projects. Last month, the city awarded an $11 million contract for the construction work to CGL Contracting Ltd, a Vernon-based company. It beat out three other companies competing for the contract.

Declining condominium market prices reflects Coroner reveals identity of change from recent real estate boom period body found at Hot Sands Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A decision made in council chambers Monday highlights the difference between what was once considered affordable housing in Kelowna and where things stand now. Several people who bought affordable housing units in the MODE building several years ago, traded away poten-

tial rental possibilities for a lesser ticket price. They were supposed to be socked in to that agreement for a decade, however, explained Theresa Eichler, the city’s community planning manager, times have changed and the city has to change with them. “We had two requests from…two owners who are having trouble selling their condos, and have requested they be able to

rent out their dwellings,” she told council. “(The agreement) was seen as a hardship by owners…they couldn’t sell at the price we’ve shown for being affordable.” Turns out, she explained, the MODE units that weren’t deemed affordable when the project was launched are selling for much less now, and are rivalling the cheaper suites.

With those conditions in mind, city staff recommended moving along with required bylaw changes that would allow the occupants to rent out their apartments, and advised councillors the situation may come up again. Meantime, they assured the mayor and council that these people should have their needs met by the alterations.

The B.C. Coroners Service has identified the body found in the water’s off Hot Sands beach earlier this week. Kelowna resident Nicholas Tal Salisbury, 26, died following a swimming incident on Okanagan Lake on Aug. 19. “On the afternoon of Aug. 20, a snorkeller in Okanagan Lake spotted a body on the bottom of the lake at City Park in Kelowna in an area known as Hot Sands Beach,” said a representative of the Coroner’s office. “The body, which was in about 1.5

metres of water about three metres from shore, was recovered at that time…Salisbury’s bicycle and backpack were found nearby.” The Coroners Service is continuing to investigate this death. Foul play has been ruled out. Salisbury is said to be a former Vernon resident, who was living in Kelowna. His family has been notified of his death and the coroner’s office has requested their privacy be respected.

Trio of motorists caught racing on Highway 97 at night Three vehicles have been impounded for at least 30 days after police observed them racing each other on Highway 97 near Ross Road early Monday morning. On Aug. 20, at 1:20 a.m., a member of the Central Okanagan Traffic Services was on patrol near Highway 97 and

Ross Road when he was passed at a high rate of speed by four vehicles. The police officer noted that the vehicles were travelling in excess of 140 km/h in an 80 km/h zone, that they were changing lanes without signalling, weaving between lanes and trying to pass one another. With the help of the

West Kelowna RCMP, three of the vehicles were stopped on Main Street in West Kelowna. One of the drivers, a 26-year-old West Kelowna man, was found to be prohibited from driving and refused a roadside breath test. He then fled on foot before being released, but

police had already confirmed his identity, making it unnecessary to chase him. When police caught up with him later that day, he received a 90-day driving prohibition, various violation tickets and faces a potential charge of escape lawful custody. In all, there were 360

days of driving prohibitions handed out roadside along with over $3,000 in fines (not including fines associated to the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program). All three vehicles were impounded for 30 days under the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program, as it takes prece-

dence over the seven day impound which usually accompanies excessive speeding. Under the circumstances, police will be reporting the incident to the Street Racing Section of the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, requesting an extension on

the driving prohibitions and vehicle impounds. Impaired driving remains the leading cause of criminal death in Canada and, when combined with dangerous driving behaviours, like street racing, the potential for deadly consequences multiplies exponentially.

▼ POLITICAL VISIT

Minister impressed by Kelowna seniors’ community Input from A1 She was impressed with what the city and local organizations are doing to not only include seniors but also in providing services for them. She emphasized the importance of active living at any age and explained that opportunities for seniors to remain active are not limited to physical activity. Those other opportunities, she said, include being active in the workplace, in volunteer organizations and in communities. Cannan said with the upcoming annual Kelowna Volunteer Fair next month, that was a perfect opportunity for seniors to see where they can best volunteer their time and expertise to help in the community. Both Cannan and Wong spoke about the importance of seniors staying informed so they can take full advantage of the wide range of government programs and services available to them. Wong said the outcome of the roundtable discussions she is holding across Canada will help inform the direction of future federal government policies and programs on seniors’ issues. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

One building up. Another one coming down. Now that the new, six-storey Centennial Tower is complete at Kelowna General Hospital, work has started on the next project at KGHâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the demolition of the old Pandosy Building to make room for the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building. The $169-million IHSC building, which will make KGH the fifth full heart cardiac care centre in the province, is part of a $367-million project that includes the new Dr. Walter Anderson Building located across Pandosy Street which houses KGHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new laboratory and other clinical support services. The project also includes other additions inside existing KGH buildings, such as a new cath lab, new cardiac care operating rooms and cardiac intensive care recovery suites. The demolition of the Pandosy building, the oldest structure on the hospital site, started Wednesday with the removal of a one-storey section. The main, three-storey portion will come down this fall and work is expected to start on the IHSC building early next year. It is expected to be complete by mid-2015, said project spokesman Cam McAlpine. The entire project is slated to be complete by the end of 2016. Parts of the Pandosy Building date back to 1940. They replaced the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original 19-bed hospital, which was located on the same site that houses the current KGH. The Kelowna hospital, the largest in the B.C. Interior, was recently expanded with the addition of the $270-million Centennial Tower. That tower was itself part of a $420-million expansion of both KGH and Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jubilee Hospital, where a patient care tower was also added. According to Premier Christy Clark, who opened the Centennial Tower in May, close to $1 billion has been invested in health care infrastructure in the Okanagan for the KGH and Vernon hospital projects in the last few years, the largest health care investment ever made here.

Keen witnesses help nab alleged bank robber Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

A 21-year-old man accused of robbing Royal Bank in Orchard Plaza Tuesday afternoon was arrested minutes later in The Bay department store. Kelowna Mounties received a call of a hold-up alarm coming from the Royal Bank at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday. RCMP members were given tips by â&#x20AC;&#x153;keen witnesses,â&#x20AC;? which led to the arrest of the suspect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result of the suspect leaving and being followed by some very keen witnesses, police were able to apprehend the individual who we believe was responsible inside The Bay,â&#x20AC;? said Kelowna RCMP Cpl. Jim de Hoog. While the suspect had a weapon at the time of the robbery; he was unarmed at the time of the arrest. RCMP members located the weapon later but would not confirm if it was a gun. The amount of money taken from the Royal Bank has not been disclosed. While he noted the witnessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistance was helpful in making an arrest, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily encourage them doing what they (did) considering the weapon that was producedâ&#x20AC;ŚIf you feel your safety is in jeopardy at all, we strongly recommend you stay away and let the police deal with the issue.â&#x20AC;? wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ JUSTICE FROM THE GRAVE

Kelowna courthouse spirits share common characteristics Mike Rowland CONTRIBUTOR

Over the years, thousands of people have gone through the doors of the Kelowna courthouse. Most weren’t aware they were entering a virtual sea of negative energies and malevolent spirits, or the potential of being affected by that energy. Some people enter daily, such as staff, security, lawyers and judges. Others, such as those accused or charged with some offense, and their supportive friends or family, only visit on occasion. Many who visit have been oblivious to the effects of the negative energy that surrounds them, while others who are more energetically sensi-

tive might have wondered why they felt terrible as they entered the building and then so much better when they left. Besides a host of negative energies that permeated the building, there were two distinct groups of earthbound spirits. The first group of 17 spirits had the commonalities of being 30 to 40 years of age when they died. They had all been killed, murdered; all had been criminals during their lives; all had been to jail or prison; all were non-repentant; they were of both genders; and had stayed behind because they wanted to wreak havoc in death as much as they had in life. The interesting twist to this group was that

they were all themselves murdered and their killers were never caught or brought to justice. So, they decided to see what they could do in death to disrupt the court system. Ironically, all 17 earthbound spirits were unrepentant criminals in life but wanted justice with respect to their own deaths. The second group of earthbound spirits numbered 277 in total. Since there were too many to get their individual stories we looked for commonalities. This group had less in common than the previous group. They were both genders, died at various ages and dates, from all walks of life, and had been attached to the building for various lengths of

time. Their one commonality was their anger toward a court system that had treated them so poorly. During life these spirits had all been through the court system for one reason or another. They were angry for how the system of people and procedures had made them feel as they went through the process. Some may have been guilty of some offence, yet many were not. Although they, as people, were supposed to be treated as innocent until they were proven to be guilty, the system of people actually treated them as guilty, right from the beginning. They felt anger and bitterness so strongly, for this type of treatment, that

they carried it with them into their death. These troubled and angry souls were brought to this place for the purpose of seeing the system from a different perspective and resolve their anger. What did they see or learn? Apparently they saw that regardless of how they were treated, most of the people in the system truly felt that they were doing the right thing. These 277 spirits realized that possibly, if they had responded to the system in a different way, they may have been treated differently by that same

system. It brought them closure and they were now ready to move on to complete their journeys. All of the spirits along with the other negative energies were removed from the building fully and completely. Although the building was cleared, it is likely that many more energies will take up residence here. Buildings such as the Kelowna courthouse can be like beacons to negative energy. The nature of the activities taking place in the building can cause anx-

iety, confrontation, fear, hate, hopelessness and helplessness, plus many other negative emotions that rise to their peak, attracting negative energies and spirits to it. Mike “the Ghost Guy” Rowland and his wife Cahrei are partners in Healing Haunted Houses.com based in Kelowna, a company that removes lost spirits and negative energies from people’s homes and other buildings. www.healinghauntedhouses. com

▼ OUR VIEW

Refining jobs here, or overseas The recently announced plan to build a refinery in Kitimat is a double-edged sword; it cuts both ways. It’s hard to argue with the concept of keeping jobs in B.C., which is exactly what the refinery being proposed by David Black would do. Processing the crude oil pumped through to the coast from the Alberta Tar Sands through the proposed Enbridge pipeline, the refinery proposed by Black (who owns the Capital News) would stymie the plans of those who would prefer to ship

the crude to be processed at outof-Canada refineries operating with cheaper labour. The same thing happens with the problematic shipping of raw logs. By allowing multinationals to cut down trees and ship them out of the province with no further processing, B.C. misses out on most of the production chain—meaning we lose jobs, taxes and the development of a range of economic spinoffs and industries. Black’s argument that shipping gas, kerosene and diesel

is safer for the environment is also valid. Compared to a spill of crude oil or bitumen, a tanker spilling gasoline, is likely to have less long-lasting effects than heavy oil coating beaches or sinking to pool in masses on the sea floor. But that’s not to say a gas spill couldn’t or wouldn’t cause a major ecological disaster. And that’s where Black’s sword cuts the other way. There is no such thing as a “good” environmental disaster. And no matter how good the “world-class” safety practi-

ces that Enbridge uses in building and operating the pipeline, an eventual spill is almost inevitable. Likewise shipping toxic substances along our coast. It’s as inevitable, in fact, as a pipeline is. For, if Enbridge isn’t successful in its bid, someone, sometime, will be. Let’s face it, oil is too valuable a resource to expect that such a pipeline can be forever stalled. Better, as Black suggests, to make sure that B.C. benefits as much as possible.

Bike trek across country admirable for several reasons D aman Milsom and Kibby Evans will roll into West Kelowna this week as the couple enters the final leg of their cross-country bike trek. (See story page B9.) The purpose of their trip is to encourage Canadians to register as organ donors and to raise money for transplant research. It’s an admirable way for the couple to spend their summer. But it’s not only admirable because their actions will benefit BC Transplant. It is equally impressive Daman and Kibby began the ride as a couple and, if all goes according to plan, will

complete the journey as a couple. Two years ago, my English girlfriend and I thought it would be a good idea to bike along England’s Trans Pennine Trail while raising money for SOS Children’s Villages in Concepcion, Chile. Neither she nor I were experienced cyclists. I had sat on a bicycle once in the decade prior to the trip for a two-hour leisurely pedal through Stanley Park. Admittedly, I didn’t even understand the importance of switching

WADING gears. Yet she was conIN vinced—and man-

aged to convince me— we could complete the 200-plus mile trek in four days. The Trans PenWade Paterson nine Trail runs coastto-coast through England’s north. We began our journey in the westcoast town of Ainsdale; we aimed to complete the trip in Hull 96 hours later. If the situation wasn’t difficult enough already, we also neglected to buy the £6 Trans Pennine Trail map

because “it was a bit pricey” and we were sure the signage wouldn’t let us down. In hindsight, that £6 investment would have been well worth it. The signs were often misleading and in one instance we travelled in the wrong direction for several hours. We also spent precious time trying to deal with basic mechanical problems such as fixing fallen bike chains. The trek hit a low on our final day. We had to be in Hull to catch a train back home at 4 p.m. The clock was ticking, we were still several miles from our destination and it appeared we were lost. Voices were raised; honest, uncensored feelings

were shared. I hit my boiling point as I picked up the rented bicycle I was using and contemplated throwing it in a canal that flowed alongside the road. In short, the trip tested our relationship. Looking back, I see the positives: We raised £570 for a worthy cause, we conquered a challenge—albeit kicking and screaming—and, in the long-term, our relationship probably became stronger. Do I regret taking part in our bike trip for charity? No.

Re: No ‘Courtesy Flag’ at Kelowna City Hall, Aug. 21 Capital News. To the editor: Now that the “Protect Human Life” week has been unveiled for what it really is “Pro Life” I hope it will be cancelled altogether. Changing (barely) the name of something doesn’t change what it represents. Jennifer Pickering

To the editor: Just because the flag is not flying, doesn’t change that this is how Kelowna City Hall thinks. If there is not apology stating that this thinking does not belong in 2012, I think an Estrogen Convention should be booked! Jeannie Klein

To the editor: Mayor and council have been asked to withdraw all public support for the pro-life event Protect Human Life Week. From flag to proclamation, this plan to promote a prolife stance is deeply offensive. City Hall is the seat of municipal

power and politics. It is a public space, an institution. It needs to reflect wider public policy and the law of the land rather than the narrow agenda of pro-life groups in general and the Kelowna Right to Life Society in particular. At this point in history, it is particularly galling that a prolife stance is being promoted by government at any level. Funding for women’s programming has been cut across the country—the Kelowna Women’s Centre had to shut down at the end of April for that reason— and MP Stephen Woodworth’s private member’s motion to reexamine the definition of human being reached discussion in the House of Commons and will be

voted on in the fall session. It is equally upsetting that MP Mark Warawa has now come out in support of Woodworth’s Motion 312. I predict that this backdoor re-opening of the abortion debate will not go down well with the women of Canada. Organizers will continue to protest the intentions of City Hall until we are apprised that the city has withdrawn all public support for the event. Dianne Varga

To the editor: The least risky of their options? Marlon Bartram

QUICK SALE!

Dog business doesn’t belong where people play To the editor: I have been at Gyro Beach every day for over a month (I am retired) and there have been people with dogs there many times. Some of the dogs have

frightened small children and bothered people trying to relax on the beach. A few weeks ago a big dog squatted and did its business right on the grass where people play frisbee and volleyball. The owner

ignored this and tried to walk away until people called out to her to clean up the mess. She had no cleanup materials and was forced to use leaves from the trees. After the “cleanup” there was still residue

of dog poop on the grass. My question is: Why isn’t there a sign banning dogs at the place where many beach-goers drive into the parking lot area at Lakeside and Swordy? There’s a sign prohibiting

dogs at the other entrance but its placement prevents most people from noticing it. Lets get on the ball, city hall. Lena Bellinger, Kelowna

At least nudists kept Cedar Creek beach clean To the editor: What a disgustingly crappy beach. Last week my wife and I planned a picnic and swim at the beach. As it was the height of tourist season we decid-

ed to stay away from the core area and went out to the Cedar Creek Park. We were last there near the end of Mayor Gray’s previous term. What a mess (now)— piles of dog crap in the

parking lot, piles of dog crap on the trails down, and piles of dog crap on the beach. Uncontrolled dogs charging in to our blanket to check out the food. When a large dog took

a crap at the edge of the water not 15 feet from us, we packed up and left. I cannot help but wonder if the residents at the end of Cedar Creek and Braeloch roads, who pressured the city to ban the

nudists, prefer the smell of dog crap when the breeze is from the south? One thing is very clear: The nudists kept a clean beach. Skip Matyear, Kelowna

Why not build refinery on Alberta side of border? To the editor: David Black, owner of the Black Press Group, says he wants to build an oil refinery in Kitimat. He claims coastal pollution would be less harmful if a tanker carrying refined petroleum products, rather than diluted bitumen, has an accident. I’m befuddled. Why not build the refinery in Alberta and minimize the bitumen pollution that would result from a pipe-

line failure? The Alberta option would also eliminate the added expense of building a recycling pipeline for the toxic distillate used to thin that gooey heavy oil. I can think of two reasons: (1) refining crude oil requires enormous quantities of water, and (2) Enbridge intends to ship bitumen out of Kitimat come hell, high water or a refinery. When I heard the

company spearheading the bitumen refinery proposal was called Kitimat Clean Ltd, I instantly thought of George Orwell’s book 1984. In that fictional tale about tyranny, the Ministry of War is called the Ministry of Peace and the Ministry of Propaganda is called the Ministry of Truth. Kitimat Clean sounds like a name dreamt up by a team of public relation consultants after they consumed

Kelowna running duo ready for Ultra effort Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There’s no round two in a running race, but Two Canadian Girls On the Run will get a second crack at an epic alpine adventure in Europe this year thanks to an unexpected community sponsor.

opportunity,” said Unser. “Sarah and I discussed it and we felt fortunate that somebody was going to extend themselves to make our dream come true for the second year in a row; and we wanted to to make our return about more than just running.” As such, for the bulk of this year, the pair have trained with an eye to raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Backed by both Western Financial Group and True Outdoors, they hosted a charity run, connecting with friends to share stories of how cancer has touched their lives and earning $5000, and counting, along the way.

“It’s unfortunately a disease that affects so many people—friends and family—that it just makes sense as a charity to contribute towards,” said Unser. Their 34-kilometre charity run started in Kelowna and ended in Naramata and was posted on the Canadian Cancer Society’s online Independent Fundraising page under their Transalpine team name Two Canadian Girls on the Run. The pair were inspired to pay it forward, as it were, by Western Financial branch manager Shannon Willford, the who sponsors community sporting events

The female team leading throughout the race wasn’t able to complete the last stage—an interesting lesson for Unser and Macleod. This year’s route is expected to be much tougher, spanning 50 kilometres more distance over the eight days for a total 320 kilometre run. “We’ve increased our training volume…and we did some different things this year,” said Unser. “We went into the backcountry and had a training weekend with our friends from Canmore in Assiniboine Provincial Park to mimic the conditions.” There are 325 teams registered for this year’s race, though only 22 all female teams. “On this exact same route two years ago there were 18 women’s teams

Both run 50,000 feet in elevation, though the eastern route requires teams to run consistent 40-kilometre days. “You sacrifice so much leading into it, months and months and months that I think the biggest fear is that you put all of that into it and then it doesn’t go well for you—but that’s sport for you,” said Unser. “You need to be prepared to handle setbacks and take each day as a new day.” Two Canadian Girls on the Run received additional sponsorship from Kelowna Cycle, Icebreaker and Udo’s Oil; donations are still being accepted on the Canadian Cancer Society’s Independent Fundraising Events page under Two Canadian Girls on the Run.

SPORTS Ex-Rockets captain still hopeful for NHL season Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

It isn’t a situation Josh Gorges is accustomed to, nor one that he particularly likes. Then again, the 27-year-old Kelowna native knows labour unrest is simply a reality in pro sports. The prospects of not being able to start a hockey season on time is a foreign concept for the exKelowna Rockets captain who is experiencing an NHL contract dispute for the first time in his career. “Even as recently as a couple of years ago, you never really think of being in this position, you grew up to be a hockey player and that’s what you did, you played hockey,” said Gorges, who has played for the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens the last six seasons. “But when you get to this level you understand the business side is part of the game. It’s our livelihood, our business, our way of life. You have to learn that side of professional sport. We’re all

working hard to try and get a deal done, that’s our focus right now. We want to get back to our cities and get back playing.” Gorges and 37 other players met with NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr Tuesday in Kelowna to discuss the latest developments in contract negotiations between the two sides. The NHL has said if a new deal isn’t struck by Sept. 15, a work stoppage will go into effect and the players will be locked out. With the average player salary above $2 million annually, and revenues for NHL owners rising to record levels, many people view the current contract negotiations as a battle of the wealthy against the wealthy. Gorges understands why public sentiment might not be in their favour, but says players shouldn’t have to shoulder the responsibility for the economics of today’s game. “That’s a tough situation because obviously we’re fortunate to do what

we do and we get paid a lot to do it,” Gorges said. “I think it’s hard for some people to understand it, with the salaries that we make, but at the same time someone who makes a lot more than we do writes those cheques. “There have to be concessions on both sides and I think that’s something we’re working towards,” he added. “I think from the players perspective we’re willing to work and still play hockey even if a deal isn’t in place. It’s not about raising player contracts to make more money, it’s just so that we’re not giving up a lot more than we should. We all want to play.” As for the byproduct of two days of meetings in Kelowna, union boss Donald Fehr said he felt no less or more optimistic about the state of labour negotiations and the prospects of striking a new CBA. At the same, he was encouraged by the solidarity displayed by all 38 players in attendance. “It is both gratifying and reassuring to see this

“It reaffirams that we’re doing the right thing, the right thing being defined as that which the players want to have done.”

Rockets launch rookie camp at Capital News Centre Top bantam draft picks Nick Merkley and Joe Gatenby are among the approximately 140 players hitting the ice this week at the Capital News Centre for the 2012 edition of Kelowna Rockets’ rookie camp. The camp, which begins Thursday at 8 a.m., will feature mostly 1997-born talent, along with about a dozen 1996-born players. Merkley, a centre from Calgary who scored 118 points in 56 games last season, was Kelowna’s first pick, ninth overall at the WHL bantam draft in May. Gatenby, who is also from Calgary, played for the Pursuit of Excellence program in Kelowna. A big, mobile defenceman, Gatenby was the club’s 34th choice overall. Other draft picks attending camp includes forward Chris Seto

from Surrey, defenceman Quinn Sobus from Lloydminster and Port Moody defenceman Lucas Johansen. Along with evaluating their draft picks, the Rockets’ scouting staff will have their eyes open for any potential surprises. “We’re hoping to see some improvement over the summer from a lot of the kids we saw play last year,” said Rockets assistant GM and player personnel director Lorne Frey. “You hope some kids who were on the bubble will be better,

and you’re hoping some kids will step up that you weren’t expecting.” Frey said like the past two to three camps, the vast majority of players are from B.C., including the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan Valley and the Kootenays. Frey will be joined over the annual four-day camp by 10 other scouts in the Rockets organization, who cover all regions of Western Canada and part of the western U.S. The rookie camp, featuring eight teams, runs until Sunday afternoon. The club’s main training camp begins next Tuesday at Prospera Place.

Silver lining for Stroda and Watts-Wattling Kelowna’s Aaron Stroda and Keely Watts-Watling both reached the podium at the 2012 National Legion Track and Field Championships last week

in Prince Edward Island. Stroda, 16, won silver medals in the discus and shot put, while Watts-Watling earned a silver in the U18 heptathlon.

Stroda’s best throw in the discus of 48.20 m was three metres short of his personal best, while his toss of 15.82 m in shot put was a new PB.

“I wasn’t able to outperform on Friday in my favourite discus discipline,” Stroda said. “My last competition was five weeks ago and I didn’t know where I was standing amongst the best in the country. My best throw wasn’t quite what I was looking for, but fortunately I got into the right frame of mind for my shot put competition the next day. I threw a new PB and was very happy with my year-end competition.” Stroda is ranked No. 1 in the country in the U18 discus throw and No. 2 in U18 shot put. “Aaron’s first year as youth was good and very consistent in all throws,” said coach Verena Stroda. “Next year will be his sec-

ond year in the youth category and I believe that he will not settle for second places that easily.” Watts-Watling, Stroda’s training partner, took second in the heptathlon with 4,809 points and three personal bests. Watts-Wattling won the 100 metres in a new best time of 14.48 seconds, improved her long jump by 50 cm and topped her previous shot put mark by almost a metre. “Keely is such a great competitor and a work horse in training,” said Verena Stroda. “Endless hours on the track paid off with big times this year.” Keely and Aaron are independent athletes on Team B.C. and coached by Verena Stroda.

Warriors camp Friday

The newly-branded West Kelowna Warriors will opens training camp this Friday for the highly-anticipated BCHL 2012-13 campaign. West Kelowna’s own Max French is set to lead the team into his final year of junior before he heads to Bentley University next season. The Warriors are also looking impressive between the pipes. Tyler Briggs, a new acquisition, is the reigning AJHL goaltender of the year, and also won a Gold medal with Team Canada West at the World Junior A Challenge last year in Langley. Briggs will be leaned on heavily to provide West Kelowna with more stability in goal this year, and will be joined by promising 19-year-old Garrett Rockafellow. A combination of young, skilled forwards and mobile, veteran defencemen has West Kelowna buzzing about this team’s chances this year. “We couldn’t be more excited for the group we have coming in this year” says head coach/GM Rylan Ferster. “We’ve got all the tools we need to be a contender, and everyone’s hungry to get going.” Ferster will again be joined behind the bench by associate coach Brent Gough, as well as new assistant Shae Naka. This year’s training camp will be intense, with only three days of workouts before the first exhibition tilt. In total, the Warriors will play four pre-season contests before opening the regular season at the BCHL showcase in Chilliwack, Sept. 7 to 9.

Cameron takes Ladies Open at Kelowna Club

Heat tunes up vs T-Birds

For the second time in three years, Haley Cameron is the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Ladies Open champion. But her 2012 victory didn’t come without some nervous moments. After a career-best at KGCC of 2-under par 71 on opening day, the 21-year-old Cameron held a seemingly comfortable five-shot lead over fellow Kelowna club member Jen Woods heading to Tuesday’s final round. With Cameron struggling through the early stages of the round, Woods pulled into the lead for a short time on the back nine. But when Woods hit the water on the tough par3 15th to take a six, Cameron seized the opportunity with a par and regained the momentum the rest of the way. Cameron’s (71-82) 153 total was enough for a two-stroke victory over Woods (76-79). “It was definitely an interesting day out there but I held my ground through the last five holes and finally played my own game at that point, and that’s what it took to win,” said Cameron. “It definitely was a grind, but a lot of times those are the most satisfying days.” Gallagher’s Canyon’s Chelsey Cooper (79-78) 157 was third, four shots back of Cameron. The result earned Cooper her professional card

Claire Paterson, going into her fifth season as bench boss for the female footballers at UBC Okanagan, is happy with the early season action against such a quality opponent. “It is always fantastic to play UBC Vancouver as they are a strong program in Canada West and it is an excellent way for me to look at players to see which ones can step their game up to the next level. “We were competitive and some athletes did well with the more

physical, faster game,” said Paterson. “I am happy with the 1-0 score line it was the best result we have had over the past three years of these friendlies, so it seems like we are going in the right direction.” The Heat’s next action takes place this weekend when they head to Calgary to compete in the Alberta Cup hosted by Mount Royal Aug. 25 and 26. The Heat will face off against the host Cougars on Saturday morning at 9 a.m.

The Kelowna West Coast Authentic Jays settled for seventh place at the Canadian junior baseball championship in Trois Riviers, Que. The Jays, carrying the colours of Team B.C., defeated Team Saskatchewan 7-2 in their final game of the tournament on Sunday. Kelowna finished the championship with a 2-3 record.

The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer team, in its first action of the year, fell to the UBC Thunderbirds 1-0 in a friendly Sunday afternoon on the Nonis Sports Field. Both teams used the pre-season friendly to assess new and returning players by mixing line-ups and frequently substituting players. The Heat allowed the Thunderbirds to score with just over five minutes left to play in the final period.

Briscoe led the way going 2-for-4 with two runs scored, three RBIs and two stolen bases. Garrett Wiese added two hits and an RBI. After losing their first three games of the championship to the host team, Manitoba and Ontario 1, the Jays responded with victories over New Brunswick and Saskatchewan. In the national final, Team Quebec defeated Ontario 1 by a score of 6-4. The Jays returned to Kelowna on Tuesday night and will begin dispersing to their various hometowns and colleges.

TO GROW A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM YEAR AFTER YEAR YOU CAN’T JUST RELY ON THE PLAYERS THAT ARE PUSHED OUT TO YOU. YOU HAVE TO GO AND PULL THE TALENT AS WELL FROM YOUR FEEDER BASE. Chuck Bullock

on the graduating Okanagan PRC team and some out of town students at UBCO,” Bullock said. “We didn’t have any

time to recruit from the local high schools or foster relationships with the high school coaches. To grow a successful program year after year you can’t just rely on the players that are pushed out to you. You have to go and pull the talent as well from your feeder base.” Pulling that talent is exactly what the two coaches began doing back in the spring of this year. Coaching the OKM Huskies to a 10-1 season and a history-making fifth-place finish at provincials was about more than just helping out one school. It gave Bullock and Doyle an opportunity to assess all the AA talent in the valley as well as meet the local high school coaches. This was

viewed as the first step towards building a stronger U-19 program. “We had an enjoyable and fairly successful season last year but that should be the expectation not the exception,” said coach Doyle. “We have a large feeder school system and ever growing program at UBCO. If you combine that with our level of resources as a management team, then year over year we should be producing championship teams and multiple rep level athletes. That process begins with us spending more time with Grade 11 and 12 athletes, not just the post-secondary school players.

At about 8:35 a.m. on Tuesday morning, RCMP in Lumby were called for a report of a possible parental abduction case. A Lumby resident reported that her ex-husband forced his way into her home and abducted their daughter. While taking the girl from the home he allegedly assaulted the mother and a second daughter. The landlord of the property witnessed the abduction and attempted to intervene. Words were directed towards him as well during this time. The child was carried to a waiting vehicle. When the mother attempted to stop them she was pushed aside. There were three adults in the vehicle as it was seen driving away. Officers from the North Okanagan Traffic Services assisted in stopping the suspect vehicle in the area of Ricardo Rd in Coldstream. The three adult suspects were taken into custody without incident there was two males and

For the record

A paginating error resulted in a paragraph missing some words in the Capital News story for the Aug. 21 issue about the drowning victim being found in Okanagan Lake. The paragraph in question should have read as follows: Police were unable to say how long the body had been in the water, though (Const. Kris) Clark did indicate the death had not occurred at the time the body was found. He said the deceased had been in the lake for some time, and though he was not able to say how long, he did say the deceased had likely been swimming when he died as he was wearing swimming trunks.

global economic struggles have been hard on everyone, and charities are no exceptions. Many donors who once gave freely have been forced to cut back on their donations or stop making them entirely, putting charities in a precarious position. Donating to char-

The YMCA is your place to find support and belong. ymca-ywca.com

1. Charity donations are tax-deductible. Sure, some portion of taxes go to helping those in need (welfare, disaster relief, etc.), but if we donate $100, we get a large portion of that back if we list it as tax deductible. Suddenly your $100 donation is only $65. The point is to actually give the money away, remember? 2. Giving now is better than giving in the future. It may seem like a small amount now, but a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re super rich to give to charity. Your $100 now may have a larger impact on you now, but it also has a larger impact on the charity than if you waited ďŹ ve years to give that $100, when inďŹ&#x201A;ation knocks that value down to about $85. 3. You can double your contributions without doing any work. Instead of simply sending off your money, why not ďŹ nd out if anyone is offering to match? Do a Google search of companies you like that will match charitable contribuitons, and suddenly your contribution goes twice as far! 4. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to blow it on something dumb anyway. As pious as you are, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still extra money in your budget somewhere. Create a budget for charitable donations; take some of your extra money (each month or each year) and donate it to charity. Use your spending money to make a difference instead of spending it on Brookstone goods youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use once. And if you think you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough, take that extra 2% youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be earning next year and put that toward a charity fund. For someone making $30,000, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about $500! 5. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help yourself at the same time. Studies show that when individuals spend money on gifts for friends or charitable organizations, their happiness increases while those who spend on themselves get no such boost. Even Scrooge can agree that everyone wins. 6. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help now, you never will. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend that instead of giving money, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to donate time. When was the last time you volunteered at a soup kitchen? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your mind fall for this trick. Send the money now or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up giving nothing. 7. Be a leader, not a follower. Since other people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t donate, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to either? If your friends know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving to charity, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be encouraged as well. And your friends are probably in credit card debt, too. Are you sure you want to follow their lead?

Strong Kids advocates prep for Channel swim Did you know that 15 per cent of B.C. kids are living at or below the poverty line? Participation in childhood recreation programs is becoming a privilege that many families just cannot afford anymore. It is this statistic that has inspired a group of local swimmers to choose the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign as their charity of inspiration when taking on the great English Channel next summer. Team member Leora Dahl said: “I know the difference recreation has had in my life, I hope that as a result of our collective efforts more kids in the Okanagan will have access to programs that improve their wellbeing and give them a safe place to be-

long during hard times.” The team has already begun fundraising and training in preparation for their attempt to conquer the English Channel in July 2013. Accompanied by boat captain Ann Clemence and navigator John Dafoe, the OMSC Lake Monsters swam across the Georgia Strait on Aug. 11. The six-person relay team swam from Sechelt on the mainland to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, which was a roughly 35 km swim. They swam without wetsuits (according to English Channel rules) and battled strong currents, wind and waves. Denise Cesselli, Leora Dahl, Paul Duffield, Phred Martin, Mike Stamhu-

is and Tracy Sutton completed the swim in 10 hours and 46 minutes. The Georgia Strait swim (held once a year and known as the Salish Sea Swim) was good practise for next year’s English Channel attempt as the distance is similar and the team swam it according to English Channel tradition, with each team member swimming for an hour at a time in rotation. “It was a real learning experience for us to see how we could get through such a mentally and physically exhausting swim,” Dahl said. “We learned that we have some things that we need to work on before next year’s English Channel attempt, but we all had

lon, and the entire team will continue to swim in the lake until around November. The English Channel is only about 15 C so the team needs to remain

acclimatized to cold water. If you want to follow their progress, two of the team members are keeping blogs of their journey to the Channel, which you can find at www.Noth-

Sarkari says Power in Partners (www.powerinpartners.com) will provide candid revelations and magic moments for participants, showing them how pursuing more partnerships with others leads to success and, more so, a stronger community in the Okanagan. The conference aims to inspire, educate and help people execute what they learn. Sarkari, a leadership and management consul-

tant for many organizations including Microsoft, BMW and Coca-Cola, says the conference will give attendees practical tools for advancing their careers and businesses. He said the conference will also create a platform for Okanagan businesses to effectively partner up. It will be packed with the kind of valuable information and insights usually only available at highpriced events in major cities, now offered locally

for less than $100. “If you are in the business world you do not want to miss this event,” Sarkari said. “This is where magic hits a live stage. This is not your typical setup of speakers talking on stage. “Learn the secrets they don’t share with everyone, through candid interviews with our high-profile guests.” Sarkari added that partnering allows people to advance in ways they

can’t on their own. To show how this works, at Power in Partners he will conduct frank and compelling on-stage interviews with the featured speakers to get them to reveal “the good, the bad and the ugly” about their paths to success. The Oct. 30 conference will also feature a unique networking session where conference participants can interact personally with each of the Power in Partners speakers.

Sarkari says there will also be a multi-booklaunch with new authors in the evening at the conference. Each business that registers for a table of six at Power in Partners will also receive one free entry to an exclusive VIP Red Carpet pre-event to be held on the evening of Oct. 29 at Lindon House in Kelowna.

NDP aims to stop Enbridge pipeline

Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR

NDP leader Adrian Dix has found what he believes is a legal roadblock

to the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat. Dix announced Wednesday that if he becomes B.C. premier next spring,

he will withdraw from the federal-provincial review of the pipeline that is currently underway, and launch a “made in B.C.” review of the pipeline.

party’s policy commitment to not support the Enbridge pipeline proposal for northwest B.C. If that doesn’t result in rejection of the project the NDP opposes provincially and federally, Dix said the B.C. cabinet would have the final say. And if Prime Minister Stephen Harper tries to overrule the province, the battle would shift to individual provincial permits required for river crossings and wildlife corridors in B.C., he said. Dix and NDP environment critic Rob Fleming said the B.C. Liberal government’s decision to cede control over environmental assessment to Ottawa, and then present no evidence at the federal hearings, left the province out of the discussion. Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Terry Lake have announced pre-conditions of pipeline and tanker safety, and provincial officials are scheduled to crossexamine Enbridge before the federal review panel makes its recommendation to the federal cabinet next year. Dix emphasized that the B.C. cabinet can overrule its own environmental review, just as the federal cabinet can. A prov-

incial review of technical issues would have to be carried out to justify refusing provincial permits, he said. Lawyer Murray Rankin was hired to advise the B.C. NDP. He said the joint review agreement with Ottawa allows B.C. to give 30 days notice and opt out, and the existence of the agreement shows that B.C. does have jurisdiction over whether the pipeline proceeds. Dix said he wants to return B.C. to separate federal and provincial reviews of major projects, like the Prosperity gold mine near Williams Lake, where the B.C. government issued a permit, but the federal review later rejected it and spurred a costly redesign. Dix said he met Tuesday with Black Press chairman David Black, who is backing a refinery at Kitimat to process oil sands crude for shipment by sea. Dix said the idea of refining crude domestically is worth pursuing, but the Kitimat proposal doesn’t change his opposition to the Enbridge plan.

Film students gear up for their 10th annual Kelowna film festival Centre for Arts and Technology celebrates 10 years of involvement in city arts community. Centre for Arts and Technology students are ready to showcase their talent Sept. 14 at the 10th annual Kelowna Student Film Festival hosted by the Rotary Centre for the Arts. The festival gives digital filmmaking and animation students the chance to show their films in a friendly competitive environment. For the past decade, this festival, which has grown to an annual audience of over 300, has had the goal of not only displaying student talent but also to celebrate the future of Canadian talent and

supporting Kelowna’s arts community. Aside from preparing for the festival, students have kept busy providing support to the growing film industry in the Okanagan, often alongside digital filmmaking grads and other local talent, including the 2012 productions of A Mother’s Nightmare, Anything But Christmas, and A Stanley Cup Odyssey. “The festival is a great opportunity for students to show off their hard work in front of friends, family, peers and members of the community,” said CAT digital filmmaking

department head Graham Cairns. “Industry professionals are also invited to the event as VIPs, which is a great networking opportunity for the students and has led to job offers over the years.” Among the awards handed out is the coveted People’s Choice Award, which brings friendly rivalry between the animation and digital filmmaking students, so there is anticipation building to see who will bring home the award during a banner year for the event. Other programs get involved in the festival as well. Event and promotions management students produce and execute

Wildfire fears close Knox Mt. Park road The risk of wildfire has closed Knox Mountain Park Drive in Kelowna. The city has announced that the road was closed as of Wednesday due to extremely high fire hazard and will remain closed until fire conditions are downgraded. “Conditions in the park are extremely dry and the risk of a fire is high,” said Blair Stewart, urban forestry supervisor. “While the park remains open to the public, we ask all park users to be cau-

tious. Campfires are not allowed in city or regional district parks and smoking is prohibited in all natural areas.” The Knox Mountain Drive closure follows a campfire ban issued for the Central Okanagan Regional District on Aug. 17. Similar bans from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations have been issued across the Kamloops Fire Centre area within B.C. parks and on Crown and private lands.

Reliance on donations critical for programs

The Canadian Red Cross is prepared to respond to disasters by having both supplies and the trained volunteers ready to jump into action when house fires, floods, forest fires, or other emergencies disrupt the lives of Canadians. While the famous Canadian organization is known for a variety of programs and skills, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus is to provide recovery assistance to those who need support to get their lives back on track. The assistance Red Cross provides is largely funded by donations from individuals and corporations. Walmart is the largest corporate supporter of the Red Cross, and each August the company holds its annual fundraising campaign to support local disaster response activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign runs from Aug. 2 to Aug. 26. The national goal this year is an ambitious of $3.2 million. The financial goal in B.C. and Yukon is $346, 000,â&#x20AC;? says Jan Bowden, manager of fund development for the B.C. Southern Interior Canadian Red Cross in Kelowna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That sort of assistance is absolutely imperative for us if we hope to be able to assist people in need. Walmart customers have the opportunity to make a donation at the checkout to support the Red Cross work in our community. Funds raised are put to work in B.C. and the Yukon to ensure we are ready to respond when disaster strikes.â&#x20AC;? The annual Walmart campaign is now in its ninth year and their contribution in 2010-11 raised and donated over $3 million in Canada. Since 2003, they have contributed over $19 million to Canadian Red Cross disaster response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, Walmart supplies Red Cross blankets and gives us about $100,000 in gift cards that we can give out quicklyâ&#x20AC;Śpeople sometimes have to leave home with only the clothes on their backs,â&#x20AC;? Bowden adds To volunteer, donate or learn more about the local Southern Interior Region of the Red Cross, pop into the office at 124 Adams Rd., telephone250-491-8443 or email Jan Bowden at jan.bowden@redcross.ca.

is the new community planning and response coordinator with the disaster management team at the Kelownabased Southern Interior Region office of the Canadian Red Cross.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long way from the war-torn world of Kandahar, Afghanistan, to the flooded landscape of Sicamous, but for Jodie Densmore the step is not all that big. She is used to working under stressful conditions. In fact, she does her best work when the pressure is on. Densmore is the newly appointed community planning and response coordinator with the disaster management team at the Kelowna-based Southern Interior Region office of the Canadian Red Cross. On first blush, it appears the Kelowna HQ of the famous non-profit organization have found themselves the perfect person for the demanding job. Densmore is not only bright and personable but also exudes a sense of calmness, confidence and clarityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;traits so important for her job. When chaos strikes full force that is when any emergency response organization such as the

Red Cross needs a strong leader on the ground, and Densmore has already demonstrated her ability to capably handle stress and turmoil. In 2004, Densmore joined the Canadian Forces Reserves as a member of the 11th Field Ambulance Medical Unit in Victoria while working as an undergraduate in kinesiology. Then, between 2009 and 2010, she was deployed to Afghanistan for 10 months of service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a medic with the Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team, which was there to rebuild and provide security, and escort officials to meetings and such,â&#x20AC;? she explains. During whatever spare time she was permitted in her military role she was also busy writing papers for her masters degree in Human Security and Peace Building. A resident of both Kelowna and Victoria since 2008, Densmore said she is thrilled with her new job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually called the Kelowna office to volunteer my services and while trying to figure out how I could best fit in I learned that this job had opened up again. I applied and was lucky enough to be selected. This job defines two things I am passionate aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;people and volunteerism,â&#x20AC;? she said. Fittingly perhaps, Densmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills were immediately put to the test on her second day on the job. One could refer to it as baptism under fireâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;except in her case it was actually baptism under flood. Densmore joined the southern Interior office in Kelowna on June 25 and on June 26 was immersed helping with relief issues at the Sicamous flood di-

saster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty crazy,â&#x20AC;? she chuckles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On my first day here a Vernon volunteer, Cor Zandebergen, came in and gave me a crash course of what to expect. Cor was fantastic help and since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a retired paramedic he is very knowledgeable in that way as well.â&#x20AC;? In Sicamous, a team of 10 Red Cross volunteers worked alongside members of the emergency social services workers in assisting victims of the major flood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our role there was to determine the needs of the victims and help them return to self sufficiency. We assisted them with accommodation, food, clothing and emotional support. Sometimes it is a matter of simply being a sounding board for those who have faced such trauma,â&#x20AC;? Densmore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Red Cross focus is to ensure basic needs are met during recovery,â&#x20AC;? explains Southern Interior regional manager John Richey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Red Cross provides services to meet needsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not loss. Assistance is based on needs not eligibility,â&#x20AC;? he clarifies. Red Cross volunteers are generally invited or called into action by the province approximately 72 hours after a disaster has occurred. The local authority and Emergency Management B.C. lead and coordinate the response when disaster hits. Emergency Social Services (ESS) provide relief during the first 72 hours. During that time, Red Cross comes alongside to enable a continuation of services for those whose basic needs cannot be met by personal resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work but it can be very rewarding and

people are generally very appreciative of the work we do,â&#x20AC;? Richey adds. While the Red Cross members spent two weeks in Sicamous, after seven days Densmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills were called on to help coordinate Red Cross involvement in the tragic Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing mudslide. Five volunteers were deployed to the site to lend assistance there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that situation we had skilled volunteers from five different communities in B.C. make up the team of helpers. That shows the diversity and willingness of our volunteers around the province and country,â&#x20AC;? Densmore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a fabulous job under very difficult times.â&#x20AC;? Despite the current calm in the storm, the workload has not stopped for Demsmore or the many volunteers at the local facility located at 124 Adams Rd. in north Kelowna. With the work at Johnsons Landing wrapped up Densmore has been extremely busy with the necessary paper work that comes with such tasks, while also preparing for the anticipated challenges that Mother Nature and other factors may create in the way of another disaster response. Densmore is currently preparing response kits for permanent deployment to the four core capacity Red Cross centres throughout the Southern Interior Region: Kelowna, Kamloops, Castlegar and Williams Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we are called or invited into a disaster scenario we have to be prepared and ready to roll immediately once we get the call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore, a big part of my job is to make sure

we are as ready as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have incredible team members who are all very dedicated and willing to assist others. Without our volunteers, and financial donations from the public, we simply could not function,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot be effective and I could not begin to do my job without volunteers.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, the national, provincial, and regional numbers of people assisted, programs offered, and services provided by the Red Cross is jaw dropping. Within the past year, Red Cross members responded to 72 disasters in B.C. and Yukon. That total was a jump of more than double from the prior year. Last year alone, the Disaster Management Program assisted more than 10,000 people with immediate response and longer-term recovery, providing services such as lodging, hygiene kits, clean-up kits, and all sorts of recovery support to families. In 2011-12 in B.C. and the Yukon area, the Red Cross through one program or another, led by a core of just over 2,000 volunteers, served more than 451,000 people. Those numbers are testimony to the statement that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When disaster strikes the Canadian Red Cross is there.â&#x20AC;? And when it comes to the Southern Interior Regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, a smiling Jodie Densmore is there to help lead the way. For further information on the Red Cross, or how to volunteer or donate funds, telephone 250-4918443 email john.richey@ redcross.ca or go the local website at www.redcross. ca/bcsi.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź VOYAGEURS

Okanagan Brigade to paddle length of the valley Judie Steeves Winemaker Leo Gebert of St. Hubertus Winery is hosting a pyjama party for 200 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;voyageursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in his vineyard next week, and he plans to jump into a 24-foot voyageur canoe and join the Okanagan Brigade for a leg or two of their journey as well. A total of 200 paddlers from as far away as Hawaii, Ontario and Oregon will converge on the valley Sunday for a weeklong paddling adventure called Brigade Trails to Wine Trails, following the historic fur brigade trail. Cor Zandbergen, of Vernon, is one of the organizers of the trek, which is an offshoot of five years of adventures tracing the routes of explorer David Thompson across the country, and down the Columbia River system to the ocean at Astoria in Oregon. Several local paddlers participated in that six-week 2011 Columbia Brigade, including former Kelowna Museums executive-director Wayne Wilson, who is involved in helping to organize this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more-local trip; and local lawyer and mediator Bob Groves. Zandbergen, instead, paddled the Athabasca River from Jasper, Alberta to Lake Athabasca last year. At the conclusion of that trip, he said he was presented with a small paddle titled Wine Brigade 2012, so he felt compelled to organize what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been talking about

for several years: a paddling expedition through the lakes of the Okanagan Valley, coupled with the more-recent attraction of its wineries. The idea proved to be even more popular than heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d anticipated, and 16 teams of paddlers will ply the waters of the Okanagan from Aug. 27 to 31 in historic voyageur canoes such as would have been used by Thompson and his men hundreds of years ago. Each canoe is paddled by a team of six to a dozen people, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely most will be accompanied on land by friends and family, so the economic value of the expedition to the valley is considerable. Along the way, Zandbergen is hoping locals and visitors will greet the colourful entourage as they stop for meals and to exchange official greetings, and bring the youngsters along to learn a bit about local history. He admits quite frankly although he has lived

in the Okanagan for 20 years, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize there was a fur brigade trail that ran through the valley, or that last year was its 200th anniversary. The first couple of nights, the paddlers will put up their tents at the historic Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe Ranch at the head of the lake while the crews do some warmup paddling. Monday they will through Lake Country, stopping at local parks along the way Tuesday, they will paddle to Fintry Provincial Park, then arrive at Okanagan Centre at around 3 p.m. where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend the night. Wednesday, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll travel to Sutherland Park in downtown Kelowna, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be from 10 to 11 a.m. and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave for St. Hubertus in the Mission area, paddling along Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoreline. Tents will pop up amongst the grapevines at the family winery, while their massive canoes rest for the night at the city-

owned Cedar Creek Park below the winery, under a special permit from the city. Thursday, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll paddle over to Peachland, joined by a group of six young Metis, arriving at Heritage Park for a Metis ceremony and greeting by the Peachland Historical Society at 10 a.m. From there, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll head to Summerland and then to Naramata for the night. The next day theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll paddle to Penticton, near the historic SS Sicamous paddlewheeler docked permanently on the beach at the south end of Okanagan Lake. The next morning, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin at Skaha Lake at the marina, paddling to Kaleden, then Okanagan Falls, where a salmon bake has been organized by local wineries at the Stockmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yard, to conclude the expedition. Along the way, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be lots of opportunity for both formal and informal community greetings. For instance,

NEWS ▼ XERISCAPING

Late summer tour at unH20 demonstration garden

lease join me Thursday, Aug. 30, 7 p.m., in the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, 4075 Gordon Dr. in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, for our August free guided tour of the garden. I will be talking about late summer highlights in the five theme gardens and answering your questions. At the end of summer and into fall, most shrubs and many perennials have finished blooming. Without careful attention to plant selection for late-season colour, a garden can look drab and washed out by now. This is especially the case after such a long, hot and dry summer.

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele The xeriscape demonstration garden is a great place to see how colourful a xeriscape garden can be right up to frost. There has been bloom in this garden since early March when the first spring bulbs signalled the end of winter. Late summer and fall colour are provided by easy-care, long-blooming Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm,’ and Aster frikartii. This blue aster is my

favourite, blooming from July to frost without any dead-heading. Both look great with ornamental grasses. The fall-blooming Panicum virgatum ornamental grasses form a backdrop hedge to the ornamental grass garden. These and the earlier blooming Calamagrostis ‘Karl Forster’, and blue gramma grass have all been mass planted with Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm.’ The combinations look great in winter and are under-planted with bulbs to provide colour in spring after grasses and R. ‘Goldsturm’ are cut back. With some dead-heading Echinacea ‘Magnus,’ Gaillardia ‘Burgundy’ and Coreopsis verticillata bloom from late June until frost. Ground-hugging

Plants are labelled to help you decide what you want in your own garden. Oenothera missouriensis has large lemon yellow blooms that glow at dusk all summer long. The garden has three late-blooming tall sedums. All have excellent foliage all season and are very easy to grow. Sedum ‘Postman’s

Rugosa roses, ‘Hansa’ and ‘Blanc de Coubert’ bloomed profusely in spring, sporadically in summer and are beginning a new burst of colour for fall. Caryopteris, a small grey-leaved shrub has abundant blue flowers in August. Shrubs have short blooming periods so species with interesting foliage such as the burgundyleaved Berberis ‘Gentry’ and Physocarpus ‘Diabo-

NEWS ▼ WESTERN ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION

Fund continues to support community infrastructure O

ne of the departments working diligently on behalf of Western Canadians is the department of Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD). Established in 1987, WD works to improve the long-term economic competitiveness of the west and the quality of life of its citizens by supporting a wide range of initiatives targeting inter-related project activities includ-

MP’S REPORT

Ron Cannan ing innovation, business development and community economic development. Under the very capable leadership of my

colleague, the Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification Lynne Yelich, western communities like our own have benefitted from a number of programs designed to support our local economy. Here in the Okanagan, WD has supported several important projects including an investment for UBCO to acquire hightech equipment and create a microfabrication facility,

and funding for the Okanagan Research and Innovation Centre’s expansion into Kelowna. And just last year, I was pleased to announce that the governments of Canada and British Columbia, together through the Western Economic Partnership Agreement, invested more than $2.1 million for Accelerate Okanagan to provide incubation and business acceleration services for lo-

cal companies. WD was also instrumental in supporting local infrastructure through the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program, a major job creating investment under Canada’s Economic Action Plan. This funding supported several local projects including the reconstruction of the Mission Creek Greenway and the Central Okanagan YMCA-

OKANAGAN VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FAIR We invite entrepreneurs and employees to visit the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair at Parkinson Recreation on Saturday, September 8th, 2012 between 10 am - 3 pm. Over 75 not-for-profit agencies will be on hand to answer your questions. Research shows that businesses that give back to the community benefit through: • Staff engagement - less turnover and deeper commitment • Staff recruitments - attracts strong candidates • Market position - sets you apart from your competition • Brand building - the right relationships enhance your brand • Investment - builds new relationships • Profit - all of the above leads to greater profitability

YWCA expansion. Infrastructure funding, especially recreational infrastructure, not only supports our local economic objectives and creates jobs, it ensures that residents enjoy access to facilities that improve our quality of life. That is why earlier this summer, through Economic Action Plan 2012, our federal government announced that a limited amount of infrastructure funding was available to local communities through the new Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) a two-year national program that will invest $150 million to rehabilitate and improve existing community infrastructure across Canada. Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) will invest over $46 million under CIIF in Western Canada. I’m using this opportunity to let local organizations know that CIIF is currently accepting applications for the second round of funding until Nov. 19. The first round of funding received a great deal of interest and it is expected that this will be the case in the second round. Organizations eligible to apply for funding under CIIF include local or regional governments or related agencies; provincial entities that provide municipal-type services to communities; nonprofit organizations; and First Nation governments, including Band or Tribal Councils or their legally-designated representatives. The CIIF supports the rehabilitation or improvement of existing community infrastructure that is non-commercial and accessible to the public including: community centres; cultural centres; parks; libraries; recreational facilities (e.g. local arenas, swimming pools, sports fields, and other types of recreation-

al facilities); tourism facilities having a local impact; and other existing community infrastructure assets which have a local community impact such as connectivity and broadband and local airports. Applicants seeking less than $250,000 in CIIF funding will receive priority and organizations which apply must leverage at least 50 per cent of total eligible project costs from sources other than the federal government and have all work completed prior to March 31, 2014. New infrastructure or the significant expansion of existing facilities will not be eligible under this funding. I encourage any organizations with an interest in pursuing this funding to go to www.wd.gc.ca to obtain information on eligible projects, the application process, and to review frequently asked questions. Applicants may also contact Western Economic Diversification (WD) by calling 1 888 338WEST (9378). Partnerships such as those supported by the Government of Canada through Western Economic Diversification and programs like the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund have a good track record in our community and I am confident that with ongoing support, our community will continue to realize our potential through strong economic growth and a good quality of life for all our citizens. *** Should you have any questions related to this program or any other federal program or service, do not hesitate to contact me at 250-470-5075 or email ron@cannan.ca. I will continue to work out of my constituency office until I return to Ottawa in September. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

ENTERTAINMENT Love on the Line Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There are many ways to celebrate a 50th birthday, though few put it all on the line quite like Kelowna Theatre Society’s latest work. In honour of the Kelowna Community Theatre’s 50th anniversary this Sept. 13, the society will stage it’s 10th musical fall production in the theatre’s cavernous little sister, The Black Box Theatre, otherwise known as home sweet home to the society. After a decade of successful musical revues, the popular group, itself 63 years old, is breaking out of the box for this birthday extravaganza, opting to showcase two local brothers’ flare for scriptwriting with the debut of the musical, Love on the Line. “It’s just a really fun hour and a half of singing and laughs. It’s not heavy or difficult to get through. It’s just a fun piece of the-

atre,” said playwright Rob Mason-Brown. Mason-Brown credits his brother, Joe Welton, with crafting much of the dialogue, but said the idea for the romantic comedy originally came from another TKS veteran’s draft script and a desire to create a musical centered around the time of the community theatre’s opening. What makes this show different, according to TKS spokeswoman Debby Helf, is the venture into musical theatre. Every year the Black Box fills to capacity with an audience primed to get in on the action and sing along with the periodthemed revues. This time the brothers are hoping their audience returns to sing along, though the plot is now more robust than ever. The Black Box itself was created by theatre manager Randy Zaraha and has suited the community theatre group’s needs like a glove on the hand of a Shakespeare

character. “It was just this old, green backstage space and the way they’ve done it up, it’s just amazing,” said Helf. TKS is a nonprofit group of amateur actors whose level of experience is remarkable. The first musical was started by Kim Foreman (formerly Kim Sterling), who has worked in the community for decades and will appear in this cast as well. Mason-Brown has acted extensively with Kelowna Actors’ Studio, holds a theatre degree and owned Fred Skelton Theatre Company in Kelowna, though he now works for Disney’s online studio. Welton is no slouch in the arts community either. He spends the bulk of his time working for the Kelowna International Film Festival. Denise Wolf, the second female lead, is described by Mason-Brown as “probably the cutest thing you’ll ever see on a stage.”

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

ROB MASON-BROWN and his brother are putting it all on the line with their new musical theatre show, Love on the Line; the show features ’60s-era music in honour of the Kelowna Community Theatre’s 50th anniversary. The theatre opened its doors in September of 1962 and now houses this theatre group’s work every year. The story line follows four individuals who eventually become couples—one following a peaceful, happily ever after format and the other more of a Beatrice and Benedict from A Mid-

summer’s Night’s Dream relationship with plenty of bickering and fighting and amusing quips to make it interesting. The show runs Sept. 14 to 30, Thursday through Saturday at 7:30

p.m., with Saturday and Sunday matinees beginning at 2 p.m. Tickets generally go quickly and can be purchased at www.selectyourtickets.com, 250762-5050, priced at $20 in advance and $25 at the

door. Season’s tickets for all three shows from TKS are $50. The shows are Love on the Line, The Rockin’ Snow White, Nov. 23 to Dec. 2 and Caught in the Net April 26 to May 5.

mystique and visually, it’s just so darn pretty. A recent visit to the Okanagan Lavender & Herb Farm certainly left me feeling happy and inspired. Owner Andrea

McFadden and her husband David have created a beautiful oasis on their lake-view property. Strolling through the gardens, one is pleasantly assaulted with the heady

fragrance of the lavender as well as picking up notes of lemon balm and other herbs. I recently attended a yoga class there, on the grass, surrounded with the heady aroma of lavender, and it was utterly blissful. Talk about a Zen experience. Andrea’s cousin Kate Stewart teaches the classes Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8 a.m. Ommmmmg you will love it.

Andrea is a great ambassador of flower power and has created a wide range of products in her production kitchen. From herbal blends like the famous Herbs de Provence (a must on roasted chicken), to distilled lavender essential oil (when added to whipped cream and served atop local, fresh berries—especially big blackberries— it makes for a memorable dessert).

I love the lavender dryer bags that scent your clothing and the spritzers of rosewater blended with witch hazel and distilled water making a perfect facial toner. Andrea also distills roses into rosewater, which is both a beauty product as well as culinary ingredient—even for cocktails. Our lo-

Hit and Run a nervy road trip

lthough The Expendables 2 grossed less than its predecessor on its opening weekend, it still helped the combined box office for all the movies playing this past weekend gross more than the same weekend last year. With movies like The Bourne Legacy, Paranorman, The Campaign, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, Hope Springs and The Dark Knight Rises still doing strong late summer business, it is not hard to see why. Unfortunately, summer is winding down, and while the blockbusters are pretty much done, there is still a good selection of movies coming out.

By the next year they had added multi-instrumentalist Jillian McKellar, guitarist Darren Frank, and drummer Peter Hendrickson to the mix and a full-length album, Blindfolded, followed in 2009. Blindfolded proved enough to catch the attention of Vancouver’s Peak

The Apparition is a horror movie centred around a young couple who start experiencing frightening events in their home. They soon discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment. The horrifying apparition feeds on their fear and torments them no matter where they try to run. Their last hope is an expert in the supernatural, but even with his help they may be already too late to save themselves and others. It stars Ashley Green (best known as Alice Cullen in the Twilight movies) and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter Movies).

Expendables 2 a laugh

Dawn Wilkinson

The Expendables are reunited, this time for an â&#x20AC;&#x153;easy assignment.â&#x20AC;? Easy until one of them is murdered. What ensues is a kill fest, the likes of which, is seldom seen. To say this was bloody, gory and violent is a huge understatement, but before you give this one a miss, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a film of laughter, heartache, and heartâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;odd, I know, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a joke going around that the only actor not in this one is Matt Damon. Sylvester Stallone (who wrote the screen play), Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Jean Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liam Hemsworth (from The Hunger Games) are the merry band of misfit guns for hire who go on a mission to avenge the death of their buddy and save the world at the same time. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another joke

CONTRIBUTOR

For a business to be successful, the community around it needs to be healthy and thriving. Community needs are changing with cutbacks in traditional funding and increased demand for services. These changes bring fresh opportunities for partnerships between business and non-profit organizations. We invite entrepreneurs and employees to visit the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair at Parkinson Recreation on Saturday Sept. 8. between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Over 75 not-for-profit agencies will be on hand to answer your questions. Where is my staff already involved? What causes are near and dear to them? What do we have to offer a non-profit organization to help them improve? Research shows there are practical benefits for businesses that give back to the community. Employees who are supported in their volunteerism stay

in their jobs longer and are more committed to their work. All things being equal, recent graduates are much more likely to accept employment with a socially responsible company. An authentic community presence attracts strong candidates when recruiting. The right relationships enhance your brand. Partnering in creative ways can help support programs for those in need while drawing attention to your products and services. Becoming known for your business involvement in the community sets you apart from your competition and expands your market position. New relationships between for-profit and not-

for-profit organizations create an investment in the people and resources available within the community. All of these efforts lead to greater profitability and stability for your business. And so, I return to my initial invitation. Come to the Volunteer Fair on Sept. 8. Learn more about what is already happening and brainstorm about where your business could make a difference.

BEHIND THE SCREEN

I liked this one, directed by Simon West who did Night of the Living Dead and Black Hawk Down. I give it 3 1/2 reels.

Susan Steen going around that the only thing Chuck Norris canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do is act, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just mean. Apart from the fact that these guys have had major face lifts, they can still heap on the one-liners and (likely due to body doubles), give us a good action flick. And there were a lot of funny lines, for example, one of the guys looks at an old relic of a plane they are about to fly and says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This thing should be in a museum.â&#x20AC;? to which Schwarzenegger says â&#x20AC;&#x153;So should we.â&#x20AC;?

SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED I also saw Safety Not Guaranteed, a quirky film about an equally quirky guy who wants to travel back I time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an odd little movie that has its moments and a great ending. Definitely not for the mainstream audience but its kooky enough to please those who are looking for something different. I give it 2 1/2 reels. Susan Steen is a local movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

Managing health care costs relates to managing our own health Norm Letnick authorities; the consolidation of certain services among the Lower Mainland health authorities (laboratory, pharmacy, etc.); and the creation of Health Shared Services B.C., projected to save our health authorities over $200 million by combining purchasing power and consolidating purchasing departments. Impartial observers have noted the hard work of our medical professionals and administrators to ensure most resources go towards patient care â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the results. The independent Canadian Institute for Health Information, the most-respected data research group in this country, has recently reported that B.C. health authori-

ties have some of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest administrative spending. According to the CIHIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data, B.C. spends $58.80 per capita on administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;less than Alberta ($69.39 per capita) and Ontario ($60.47 per capita). The CIHI lists British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending on administration for 2011 at $111.3 million, the lowest spending on administration in B.C. since 1989. Much of this progress has been made in the last three years as spending on administration has dropped from $190.2 million in 2008 to a projected $111.3 million in 2011. The men and women behind B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health authorities have also worked to keep these costs down. For example, Interior Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent announcement to co-locate a number of its multiple services into one convenient location for patients will not only improve patient care, but will offer important fiscal benefits. These accomplish-

ments are all the more remarkable considering services have increased. Since 2001, B.C. hospitals have performed 137 per cent more knee replacements, 67 per cent more hip replacements, 60 per cent more cataract surgeries, and 64 per cent more angioplasties. Wait times are also downâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;25 per cent for hips, 29 per cent for knees, and 65 per cent for cardiac surgeries compared to 2001. As well, since 2001 MRI exams have increased about 191 per cent and CT scans by 108 per cent. The list doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there, either. This is something our health authorities should be commended for. B.C. does not want to have the most expensive health care system. We want to have the best one. Our work to reduce spending on administration and improve efficiencies continues to pay off for patients. A number of organizations have praised B.C.

Scarecrow Festival seeks volunteers The 5th annual Scarecrow Festival is seeking dedicated individuals to volunteer their time coordinating Games of the Past, such as jacks, marbles and catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cradle, for the par-

A SIMPLE TOUCH The Bible is full of stories about how Jesus touches someone and they are healed. When we struggle with pain and illness we often long for the simple touch that heals all our wounds, and yet in the midst of pain and sickness that touch can seem to far away. And so we pray longer and harder and we wonder if our faith is strong enough to out last the pain and the despair.

anguish, Jesus is unsure that he can handle things that he knows he must bear, but he is not left alone. He is given angels to gird him up.

We are not left alone in our pain or suffering, we are given people to bear us up and we are promised in Jesus Christ a savior who knows and understands our suffering at the most intimate of levels. This is Good news. Jesus Christ goes to the cross and pays the ultimate price But God understands our for our sin. When we find in pain because He had to go our lives that we are stuck through pain himself. In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus most deeply in our pain and illness it is then that we come is preparing to be arrested and go to the cross. He prays face to face with a God who “Father, if you are willing, take knows exactly what it is like to suffer. Who knows what it this cup from me; yet not my is to want something different, will, but yours be done. An who know what it is to have angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. to continue on understanding that the anguish and the pain And being in anguish, he will lead most certainly to prayed more earnestly, and the point of Death. But the his sweat was like drops of amazing promise for us is blood falling to the ground.” Like us, Jesus goes to prayer that Jesus has been through death ahead of us. He goes when He is troubled, and before us in pain and guides what does the Scripture tell us through those things in life, us? An angel from heaven which make us think we can appeared and strengthened Him. God didn’t say, oh never no longer go on. Jesus knows mind Jesus you don’t have to what we go through and he do this, but he did give Jesus promises to walk with us and the strength to deal with what even if he feels far away, even was before Him. Jesus prays when we don’t think we can do anymore, Christ carries even more earnestly after he is strengthened and His sweat us through and whether that is through the gate of death we are told were like drops of blood. Jesus is in pain and to new life or healing in this body we are never left alone.

We are given people in our lives when we need it the most to be Jesus for us and in those friendships and times together Christ’s life touches us, a simple touch that changes our hearts, our minds and our faith, a simple touch that drives us to prayer and to support one another. This is the impact of Jesus Christ in our lives. May you know His touch through those around you sent to help your faith and give you strength as you are held firmly… In His Grip.

All the dirt about organic produce Simone Jennings CONTRIBUTOR

For me a fresh tomato off the vine is one of the best parts of summer. This time of year tomatoes are in abundance, and one of my favourite ways to use them is in salsa. Salsa made with fresh, locally grown ingredients, is so much tastier than the store bought variety and it can be a nutritious snack. Tomatoes are low in sugar and calories and are a good source of vitamin C, potassium and fibre. They are also a great source of the antioxidant called lycopene, which is thought to help prevent prostate cancer. Lycopene is more readily absorbed from cooked tomatoes so cooking and canning salsa is a good way to preserve tomatoes for the winter Simone Jennings months. The one nutrition downfall to salsa is that it can be high in sodium, but if you’re making your own you can control the amount of salt you use. Fresh herbs and spicy peppers provide so much flavour that excess salt is unnecessary. Here is a fresh salsa recipe that makes a great appetizer or can be served on fish or chicken: 2 cups fresh roma tomatoes, diced 1 red pepper, roasted and diced 1 cup black beans (optional) 1/2 cup red onion, diced 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped 2 limes, juiced 1/2-1 jalapeño, seeds removed (use jalapenos as per your heat preference) 1 tsp cumin Salt to taste Roast the red pepper by placing under the broiler. Allow the skin to blacken and crack, using tongs to turn frequently. You want to blacken the skin but not burn the flesh. When the pepper is black on all sides remove from the oven and place in a paper bag or a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the pepper to sit for at least five minutes before peeling off the blackened skin and removing the core and seeds. Chop the cooled pepper and the rest of the ingredients and combine with cumin and salt to your taste. Don’t feel like making salsa but need a quick way to use up extra tomatoes? You can try roasting them with garlic, onions, and a little salt and pepper. Small tomatoes such as cherry or grape can be roasted whole. Larger tomatoes can be halved or quartered. Place washed tomatoes on a baking sheet covered with tin foil, drizzle with olive oil and roast at 450 F for 20 to 40 minutes, until the tomato skins have popped and are browning. Serve as is with fresh herbs on pasta or put in the blender and puree into a sauce. Simone Jennings is a registered dietitian with Interior Health.

Public input needed on new subdivision bylaw With various master plans now in place or nearing completion, the District of West Kelowna has developed a comprehensive draft subdivision bylaw and wants input from residents, the development community and stakeholder agencies. At its Aug. 14 meeting, council gave first reading to a draft subdivision and development bylaw—developed to be consistent with West Kelowna’s new Official Community Plan. Incorporating elements of other plans, including the Master Storm Drainage Plan and Westbank Centre Revitalization Plan, the draft subdivision bylaw provides direction on required works and servicing as part of subdivision or development of land in West Kelowna. Currently the district uses bylaws from the Regional District of the Central Okanagan or the former Westbank and Lakeview Irrigation Districts to process subdivision or development applications. The Regional District bylaw is based on rural standards and does not provide sufficient guidance for the more urban forms of development that is usually being undertaken in the community. The full draft bylaw is available at districtofwestkelowna.ca. Comments and questions are welcomed at 778-7978820 or planning@districtofwestkelowna.ca. The district is asking those concerned to submit comments by Sept. 30. Following the receipt of initial feedback, it is anticipated council will consider a second draft of the bylaw in November, incorporating input from the development community and the public.

Final push to fill out citizen survey West Kelowna residents who received 2012 citizen surveys in the mail last month are encouraged to return their completed forms before Aug. 31 to ensure their feedback counts. One thousand surveys were sent to randomly selected taxpayers in early July and 220 surveys have been returned to date. The district’s goal is to receive at least 300 surveys. Citizens survey findings assist council in setting budget priorities for the coming year. The survey’s goal is to assess how residents feel about the level and quality of programs and services they are currently receiving and determine if West Kelowna should be providing more, the same or less service in specified areas. The results from this year’s survey can also be compared against previous years’ findings to see what trends are forming. For example, road maintenance and requests for new sidewalks have consistently topped taxpayers’ wish lists since the survey began in 2008. Residents who did not receive a survey through the mail are also welcomed to complete the form. Go to districtofwestkelowna.ca, under residents/citizen survey 2012. Download and print a copy, then return the completed survey to Municipal Hall before Aug. 31.

Councillor’s son nears completion of his cross-Canada bike trek Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Daman Milsom and his girlfriend, Kibby Evans, are on the last leg of a cross-Canada bike trip they have dubbed Trekking4Transplants. The journey has two purposes: To encourage Canadians to register as organ donors and to raise money for transplant research. So far the couple has travelled 7,600 kilometres, raised $20,000 and convinced several citizens to sign-up as organ donors. “We decided to do this last summer. Kibby’s father at the time was waiting for a liver transplant; that’s kind of what sparked the motivation for this trip,” said Milsom. “It’s been a great experience.” In December, Evans’s father received his liver transplant. But the boyfriend-girlfriend team still stuck to their plans to ride across the country. Milsom—whose father, Gord, is a councillor for the District of West Kelowna—said the duo’s goal is to raise $50,000 by the time they reach Victoria. “It was slow going on the east coast of Canada, but we’ve picked up on the donations as we’ve made our way west. Hopefully in B.C. we’ll get a bit more and get closer to the goal.” The biggest challenge for the couple has been the weather. “There have been some days when you question why you’re out here…the wind can be strong in your face and it can be pretty wearing at times. “But those days are few and far between— overall it’s been an incredible experience.”

DAMAN MILSOM (right), son of West Kelowna Coun. Gord Milsom, and Kibby Evans have been cycling across Canada since June 1 to encourage Canadians to register as organ donors and to raise money for transplant research. The couple will host an event at Beaumont Family Estate Winery in West Kelowna Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. Another challenge for Milsom and Evans has been adjusting to the learning curve of longdistance cycling. The duo admitted they were novice cyclists when they began the journey June 1. They rode from Halifax to Calgary without getting any sort of tune-up. “It was much needed,” Milsom said, referring to the tune-up in Calgary.

“I hadn’t been able to shift my front gears since Ottawa; they needed work before the Rockies.” According to Milsom, the trip has been enough of a success that he would consider doing another bike trek for a worthy cause in the future; however, it would likely be a ride through a country smaller than Canada. “Canada is such a huge nation—it takes a lot

of time to make your way across, so it’s quite a commitment. I can see myself doing some smaller (countries).” Milsom and Evans will arrive in West Kelowna late this week and will host an event, which is open to the public, Sunday, Aug. 26 from noon to 3 p.m. at Beaumont Family Estate Winery. The couple will share stories from their trip, ex-

Court ruling reveals the downside of legal technicalities W “It seems grossly unfair and against the public interest for ICBC to make representations to a claimant, leading him to think his claim had been accepted and that they were intending to offer him a settlement but, after the passage of time and without warning, tell him he has failed to meet the technical requirements of the Act depriving him of a settlement and denying his claim.”

hose are the words of the Honourable Mr. Justice Armstrong. His decision in Springer v. Kee, released Aug. 13, 2012, can be found on the Supreme Court of British Columbia website. Email me if you have trouble finding it. Mr. Springer pulled up behind stopped traffic at a stop light Dec.12, 2008. A Hyundai driven by Ms. Kee smashed into the back of, and was wedged underneath, his vehicle. Mr. Springer got out of his vehicle and walked back to talk to Ms. Kee,

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott who denied fault. She told him that her vehicle had been hit from behind, causing it to be propelled into Mr. Springer’s vehicle. The offending driver had left the scene. Mr. Springer hadn’t even been aware that another vehicle was involved until he was filled in by Ms. Kee. No witnesses came forward at the scene. Mr. Springer was injured in the collision. The insurance adjuster determined that the damage to the rear of the Hyundai was likely accident related and processed his injury claim as a “hit and run” claim. She gave him a pamphlet entitled “Helping You with Your Hit and Run Claim.” The pamphlet advis-

es to take all reasonable steps to identify the motorist who failed to stop. According to Mr. Justice Armstrong, though: “The context of this comment is coupled with advice to report the matter to the police and to ICBC. The pamphlet does not mention the reason why the recipient should take steps to identify the other motorist; it could be construed as advising that reporting to the police and ICBC were sufficient steps. “The document does not go that far but it does not alert the insured to the importance of taking the type of steps ICBC now alleges were necessary.” Mr. Springer had reported the collision to the police. He had understood that ICBC would deal with liability. During the couple of years following the collision, the adjuster called Mr. Springer at various times to inquire about the possibility of settling his claim. The last inquiry was in mid-November 2010,

at which time Mr. Springer told the adjuster that his doctor had recommended waiting another six months to see if his ongoing symptoms would improve. The first time Mr. Springer learned that there was any problem with his claim was when ICBC formally responded to the lawsuit he was required to commence within two years of the collision to preserve his claim. ICBC denied the claim, alleging that he had failed to comply with section 24(5) of the Insurance (Vehicle) Act which required Mr. Springer to make all reasonable efforts to identify the unknown driver. At the hearing, ICBC’s lawyer argued that in the months after the accident, Mr. Springer should have taken steps to

follow up with the police, advertise in local newspapers or to post signs near the scene of the collision in an effort to find witnesses. Of course, none of this was suggested by the adjuster. Mr. Stringer was never alerted that failure to take such steps might invalidate his claim. Mr. Justice Armstrong found that the law does not require ICBC to alert an injured victim about the requirements of section 24(5) of the Act and that the law did not permit him to consider the actions of the ICBC adjuster when determining whether or not those requirements were met. Recognizing the unfairness, but finding his hands tied by the law, Mr. Armstrong reluctantly dismissed the claim finding that there were rea-

sonable steps that Mr. Stringer could have taken. In Mr. Justice Armstrong’s words: “It seems to me that, notwithstanding the unfairness to the plaintiff who has indirectly relied on ICBC to ascertain that he has complied with the Act as evidence that he was not required to take further measures to perfect his claim, Mr. Springer has not taken the steps required after the accident under section 24(5) of the Act to find the unidentified motorist.” ICBC gets off on a technicality.Mr. Springer’s injuries go uncompensated because he put his trust in the insurance adjuster. This case highlights the stark reality that ICBC has zero legal obligation to fairly fill you in about your rights when negotiating your claim.

his week, residents of the Okanagan learned that long-term local MLA Bill Barisoff will be retiring from public office at the conclusion of his term in April 2013. As a former Penticton city councillor, I can speak firsthand for Barisoff’s considerable list of accomplishment during his near two decades of public service representing our region in Victoria.

If there is any one thing I have learned from Barisoff, it is that you do not need to aggressively criticize and condemn your opposition, nor do you need to engage in partisan personal attacks against your opponents in order to represent your constituents.

When I first arrived in Ottawa last year and began my work on Bill C-311, I followed many of the same principles he demonstrated to me. By leaving partisan politics and personal attacks out of the discussions, I was able to work with and gain the support from members of all sides of the House of Commons and as a result accomplished a small but important change to the benefit of our region. My thanks to Mr. Barisoff for his many years of service to the Okanagan and I wish him well in his future time with friends and family upon retirement.

Westside dragon boat team shedding underdog label Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

If practice makes perfect, a West Kelowna dragon boat team probably shouldn’t be putting gold and silver medals around their necks. But for the last couple years, that’s exactly what they’ve been doing. Tip Em Back, a mixed dragon boat crew consisting of mixed martial arts fighters, recreational joggers, baseball players and housewives, has been racing for the past four years. But Jo-Ann Millross, captain of Tip Em Back, said the team has only practiced about once every week this year, compared to the three or four times per week some of their competition practices. In their first three years of competition, the team only trained a total of 30 times. Millross said most members of the team are mainly focused on having fun; therefore, not everyone is willing to commit to an intense practice schedule. Despite the lack of training, Tip Em Back won gold in the fifth annual Okanagan Super Sprints competition this summer. They then managed to snag a

silver medal from some national-calibre competition at the Banff National Park Dragon Boat Festival Aug. 11 and 12. Millross said others used to consider Tip Em Back as underdogs, but now the crew is considered “the team to beat” in next month’s Penticton Festival. According to the captain, the team’s secret weapon is the power of their stroke; however, their muscle can also be their weakness. “We have so many fighters on our boat, we have big guys, and you’d think that would be an advantage…but our boat is very heavy,” said Millross. She added that Tammy Humes, the team’s stroke, has managed to harness that strength to the team’s advantage. “Because we’re so heavy, it’s really important for us to have a perfect call of the race. “She helps keep our pace long and hard so we can use our power; she’s kind of like the quarterback of our team.” Millross said most of her team doesn’t want to lose the fun factor of racing; however, they will likely “go up a notch next year” to see if the former underdogs can continue to punch above their weight. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Revelstoke: Closing the ‘Gap’ on history Christopher Foulds CONTRIBUTOR

Standing among other hulks of railway history under the largest roundhouse in North America is the highlight of my trip

trophobia sets in. Exiting the railcar, one comes across an array of train trivia—nine other cars to explore, each offering up a bonanza of ephemera. However, as the eye

Give voters the straight economic facts Albas from B10 viding services or further lowering taxes is not available. It is also important from a fiscal standpoint to maintain the highest possible credit rating as credit downgrades result in increased interest charges and that means more tax dollars are diverted from services to debt repayment. Credit rating reviews are somewhat like report cards on how good a job as government we are doing in fiscally managing the finances of the country. As I have mentioned in my previous columns, for governments at all levels making difficult decisions that can be politically unpopular is increasingly becoming a rare event globally. In fact, there are now only 16 out of 133 different countries that still maintain a triple AAA

credit rating, and even of those 16, many have a negative outlook compared to Canada’s positive. I also believe there is another side to these discussions that must not be overlooked. As government, we can certainly point to Canada’s strong credit rating as an endorsement for our economic action plan and recent budget. However our government would not be in a majority position to undertake these directions were it not for the democratic results of the previous election. It is worth noting that in other countries, through democracy, many governments who attempt to make difficult but important decisions are being voted out of power in favor of government’s that promise to continue spending and the status quo.

WESTSIDE ▼ TRAVEL

B.C. history plays a big part in Three Valley Gap tourist stop Gap from B11 The Bell family has spent decades building the now-famous resort, its’ trademark red-peaked roofs suddenly and impressively bursting from the valley as one rounds a final corner on Highway 1 from the west. While the Trudeau railcar remains foremost in my memory, the ghost town is what attracts most —and, with 25 historic buildings with fascinating

background, it’s easy to see why. These include St. Stephen’s Church, built in 1886 in Field, B.C., and moved to the ghost town in 1965, where it was dedicated by then highways minister Phil Gaglardi. There is also Trapper Joe’s Cabin, the rustic abode of a legendary trapper in the Eagle Pass area —and so much more. One of the more fascinating structures is a replica of the CB Hume Gen-

Inside the store, there is ephemera a-plenty at which to marvel, from “crackers for 10 cents a pound” to magazine ads peddling rubber bathing suits that are “modest yet alluring.” Also included is the ghost town is the antique auto museum, featuring 16 vehicles from 1902 to 1931, and the Monashee mine exhibit, featuring mining tools through gen-

erations. And, there is a beautiful replicated opera house and the Transportation Building, which houses communications relics of days-gone-by. My kids loved handling the old phones — even if they had no clue how to use a rotary model. They loved the typewriters. They loved those mysterious music devices that predate iPods.

“Dad! It’s a record player!” my daughter shouted as she came across the familiar (to me) turntable and needle. “Is it working?” I asked from across the room. “I don’t know,” she replied with a pause. “Can you show me how to use it?” The hotel itself, the Three Valley Lake Chateau, is epic in its structure (and its maze of routes to and from rooms, the pool,

VANEBO, NOREEN BEATRICE In sorrow, and with faith in an everlasting life, the family of Noreen Beatrice Vanebo, (neé Cole) announces her passing on August 17, 2012. Noreen was born in Kindersley, SK, on August 24, 1924 and died peacefully at home, in Kelowna. She was 87. Those remembering Noreen are her siblings; Ruth Carter of North Vancouver, Doris Monkhouse (Frank) and Martin Cole of Kelowna. She also leaves her many nieces and nephews and treasured friends in Winnipeg, Eston and Kelowna and elsewhere. Always willing to serve, Noreen dedicated her later life to volunteer work with her faith community at St Michael’s Cathedral Church, the CNIB, the Women’s Resource Centre and the Crisis Help Line where her superb organizational skills and loyalty were well-appreciated. Noreen, and her deceased husband K.T. (Van) Vanebo, were both members of early pioneering (farming) families in Saskatchewan. Noreen’s curiosity and love for the written word lead to a career as a dedicated educator and librarian ﬁrst in Saskatchewan and then in Winnipeg, after earning a B. Arts, and degrees in Education and Library Sciences. Retirement for both she and Van led back to the farm in Eston, where Noreen began new careers as farmer, hostess and inveterate letter writer and volunteer. After Van passed away, she retired from the farm to Kelowna in 1991 and kept up her passion for literature, correspondence and conversation.She loved reading, crosswords, walking and travel, but most of all, she enjoyed the company of her friends and family. She will be fondly remembered for being a witty, loyal and humble woman with a strong sense of integrity. Noreen requested no ﬂowers; instead please consider making a tribute gift in memory of Noreen’s beloved husband, K.T. (Van) Vanebo, to the Canadian Diabetic Association.
