Businesses prepare for disruptions Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The digging has started on Bernard Avenue. The city’s $14-million revitalization and rehabilitation of Kelowna’s main downtown street kicked off Wednesday with local politicians delivering speeches and posing by a large earth moving machine. And then they got out of the way to let the work crews that will dig up the road and replace utilities under the ground during the next 18 months, get on with their jobs.

The bulk of the work will be carried out in three phases—this fall, next spring and in the fall of 2013, with finishing work taking place in the spring of 2014. “This is an opportunity to revive what (downtown) Kelowna is,” said Mayor Walter Gray at the ceremonial ground-breaking. He said when the work is complete, Bernard Avenue will be much more pedestrian-oriented and the city will send a “subliminal” message with the new look that cars are not as welcome as they once were. But, he quickly added, the city is also planning two new park-

ades downtown as part of future developments. Throughout the event Wednesday morning, Gray and his son, Dallas, who is the current president of the Downtown Kelowna Association, stressed that despite the fact vehicles cannot drive on Bernard between Richter and Ellis Streets, businesses in the area are still open to pedestrian traffic. “We are encouraging people to come down, bring their families, shop, enjoy the restaurants and even watch the work,” said Dallas Gray. He added that while some

merchants in the area are worried about the impact the road work will have on their businesses, measures are being taken to help them. In addition to the city having a liaison officer in place to deal directly with merchants’ concerns and “block captains” at businesses in the work zones to act as the eyes and ears of the DKA during the project, a promotional campaign is also underway to attract shoppers.

Although he doesn’t have a background in agriculture, B.C.’s newly-minted agriculture minister is confident that his experience in business will stand him in good stead. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick cited his 20 years in business and 10 years teaching it, saying “agriculture is business,” as sources of experience to draw on for his new appointment. He becomes the third Central Okanagan MLA to be named to a cabinet post in a cabinet shuffle announced Wednesday morning by Premier Christy Clark. Letnick noted that he has worked with local fruit growers and the agriculture ministry in the last three years to help find the $2 million needed for a new replant program for Norm Letnick the industry. As well, as chairman of the Okanagan caucus, Letnick notes he has worked closely with other valley MLAs on agriculture issues. Reacting to his predecessor’s announcement a few days ago of $2 million for a new buy-local campaign for the agriculture industry in B.C., Letnick laughed and said he wished that could have been his first announcement in his new position, since it’s a concept he supports strongly. However, he noted, the government wants to balance the budget so it’s important to watch every dollar spent. He said he will be talking to stakeholders in the agriculture industry around the province in the coming months. Letnick is the seventh agriculture minister serving B.C. in the past four years, the eleventh in the past 20 years.

Province revives the buy local program Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

After years of promises, the agriculture ministry has finally announced that local food producers and associations will have $2 million from the province for a new ‘buy local’ campaign, to promote local food in a variety of ways. The announcement is welcome news for B.C. farmers, says Rhonda Driediger, chair of the B.C. Agriculture Council—but also for consumers. She envisions the funding helping consumers to identify local products and where to find them when they’re in season, as well as helping growers get the word out when products are available and where. It will also be helpful for educating people about why it’s important that they buy local products: because that supports local farmers and keeps that money in the local economy; in the community, she noted. Unlike the Buy B.C. program which was cancelled in 2001, this cam-

paign will be industry-led rather than governmentadministered, which Driediger was confident would ensure the money goes further. Using new media to get the word out will also help to stretch dollars, she noted. “People are paying more attention to where their food is coming from and how it’s produced, so this ties in well with that. They’re also showing much more interest in local farmer’s markets,” she added. The funding would be available for such projects as in-store promotions, social media or web campaigns, smart phone apps, traditional advertising, on-product labelling and food-tourism maps, on a matching basis. B.C. Fruit Growers Association general manager Glen Lucas said the announcement is welcome, even though not many details about the program are available yet. “The concept of promoting local food is so important to every farm organization and packing plant that everyone will support it,” he com-

mented. Miles Prodan, executive-director of the B.C. Wine Institute, was enthusiastic about the possibilities for the money, since wine pairs well with most B.C. farm products, from shellfish and seafood to poultry and beef. He envisions lots of opportunities for cooperative promotion of local wines with local food. The funds will be administered by two provincial farm organizations: the Investment Agriculture Foundation will administer $1.5 million, while the BCAC will administer $500,000, with applications to be reviewed first by an industry advisory committee with diverse representation. Final approval will come from a three-person panel from the ministry, the BCAC and IAF. The fund is intended to provide promotion money for projects until May, 2014. Details and application forms for the funding should be available on the ministry website in the coming weeks. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Murder charge draws not guilty plea Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A Penticton man accused of killing an 85-year-old woman in 2006 pleaded not guilty this week. Corey Wolf Swite appeared in the prisoner’s box at the Kelowna courthouse Tuesday morning, and spoke to a murder charge he first pleaded not guilty to at the start of a 2009 trial. The result of those court proceedings, however, were ultimately

thrown out by the B.C. Court of Appeal last February, meaning Swite will again face a jury next month. The appeal court found that Swite faced “real prejudice” through the way the trial judge dealt with the case. Swite wanted jurors screened with questions to determine whether they could view the evidence without bias, prejudice or partiality because he is aboriginal and the victim was an 85-year-old woman. Amendments made to the law

around challenging jurors resulted in errors and confusion in the selection of the jury. The appeal court also agreed there was a potential for prejudice when one unsworn juror clearly stated her belief of Swite’s guilt in the presence of the other sworn jurors. A publication ban was ordered by the appeal court that will not allow for the victim’s name to be revealed. Jurors for this trial have yet to be chosen, but that process should begin by mid-October.

Mayor remains stuck in middle of pro life-pro choice dispute Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Despite a call from a national pro-choice organization to do so, Kelowna’s mayor says he has no intention of rescinding a proclamation he issued for Kelowna Right To Life’s upcoming Protect Human Life Week at the end of September. Walter Gray said Wednesday morning that to rescind the proclamation— the fifth in a row issued by a Kelowna mayor (Gray

and before him Sharon Shepherd)—would open him up to an accusation of discrimination. “And there you go, 15 years ago all over again,” said Gray who was found guilty of discrimination against local gays and lesbians by a B.C. Human Right Tribunal in the late 1990s when he was mayor and dropped the word “pride” from a Gay Pride Day proclamation he was asked to sign. Kelowna Right to Life has not said it will launch

a human rights complaint if the current proclamation is rescinded, but executive director Marlon Bartram said such a move could be taken if Gray capitulates to growing pressure being put on him by the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada. Earlier this week, the coalition wrote to Gray demanding the proclamation be rescinded and calling it “highly inappropriate,” “deeply offensive,” and a move that would make women feel disre-

spected and intimidated. Gray said issuing the proclamation is not an endorsement of Protect Human Life Week or Kelowna Right To Life’s anti-abortion goals. It is simply an announcement of an upcoming event in the community. But Kelowna ProChoice chairwoman Ruth Mellor disagreed, saying the proclamation signifies support. “It says the city is involved,” said Mellor, who added she would support

Gray doing what he did after running afoul of the human right tribunal 15 years ago—stop issuing proclamations all together. “I would support the dropping of proclamations,” she said. “But I’m sure that would anger Kelowna Right To Life.” Bartram said if the city pulls the proclamation after controversy cancelled the flying of his group’s flag— and all nongovernmental flags from now on over City Hall—

that could be grounds for his group to launch legal action. Calling the pro-choice groups’ actions “bully tactics,” Bartram said he is not surprised that after the flag flap an attempt is now being made to have the Protect Human Life Week proclamation rescinded. “I think they see it as a momentum thing,” he added. The Abortion Rights Coalition Of Canada’s letter, signed by individuals and organizations from

across the country including five individuals from Kelowna, calls the city’s proclamation “an implicit endorsement of the Kelowna Right To Life Society’s opposition to safe and legal abortion for women.” Canada does not have any law limiting abortion. In B.C. it is considered a core medical service and is funded through the medical services plan.

NEWS ▼ PEACHLAND

Developer having second thoughts Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Delays, miscommunication and additional costs have left Peachland business owner Steve Allison with second thoughts about his proposed 40,000-square-foot Beach Avenue development. Allison’s proposed building is a three-storey structure that will house commercial, office and residential spaces in the location currently occupied by the Edgewater Inn. Last week fourth and final reading of the proposal was on Peachland council’s agenda; however, some unwanted fine print caused Allison to yank the item from the list. For Allison, the crux of the matter seems to be a $13,000 community amenity contribution. Allison, who is on the Peachland Economic De-

Enrich Your Retirement

velopment Committee, said the committee has done extensive research on downtown revitalization in surrounding communities and none of them charge community amenity contributions to developers in similar situations. He also pointed to section four of the Sustainable Downtown Peachland Plan, which encourages the district to explore innovative fiscal opportunities to support development in the downtown core. Allison suggested “throwing a brand new penalty in that never existed in the past” goes against the spirit of the document. “With our research through the Economic Development Committee, we think it’s suicide for the downtown to chase away potential development when there are already so many hurdles there to add new development. We haven’t achieved (new downtown development) in 40 years;

it seems completely ridiculous.” He added the district initially agreed Allison shouldn’t have to pay the amenity contribution; however, staff changed their minds and failed to inform him. Although the $13,000 is a minimal amount of money in the grand scheme of things, Allison said he will not pay the charge because it will set a precedent. Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding said he is aware of Allison’s point of view on communication about the community amenity contributions. “Resolving these misunderstandings is part of the process. I’m looking forward to an opportunity to move ahead with this and get beyond that,” said Fielding. According to Fielding, community amenity charges cover growth-related requirements such as new municipal buildings, fire stations and recreational facilities—things that aren’t covered through de-

velopment cost charges. The Peachland mayor noted council is not currently considering dropping the $13,000 charge; rather, waiting to hear more information from Allison. Fielding said council, and the majority of the community, support the proposal. “I think, like council, most people in the community want to see a downtown revitalization succeed. This was the first proposed building in the process and there is a lot of support for it,” said Fielding. Although having already invested a six-figure amount of money on the proposal, Allison said the riskier option may be to see the proposal through to completion. “I would have a substantial loss to walk away, but I’ve spent the money already. It’s a question: Do you throw good money after bad at a point?” said Allison. “It’s actually safer for me to stay put… it’s riskier for me to build the building.”

Volunteer fair can lead to a job STAFF REPORTER

Volunteerism creates new job opportunities and Jin Park can prove it. Before she ever graduated from her master’s program, library and information studies at McGill University, she had built the connection that would find her a first contract and a voice in an industry where she hopes her career will flourish. “It was for me a journey to find what kind of function I am good at and how I can relate that to the study I have done and what I have a passion for,” she said. Park works for Kelowna Community Resources developing web-related strategies and techniques to help social service providers and clients connect. And as luck would have it, she was initially a client herself. While job hunting, Park approached the UBCO Okanagan Learning Exchange manager, Phil Bond, to suss out volunteer employment opportunities that might help her home in on a ca-

reer path. “I talked to him about my passion for knowledge and management and volunteerism and he connected me with Dawn Wilkinson at Kelowna Community Resources,” she explained. Wilkinson heads an Okanagan-wide volunteer fair with a string of opportunities that might have been a fantastic fit for Park; but rather than send her to the fair, Bond and Wilkinson snapped her up to work on the organizing committee for the event itself. In his spare time, Bond also volunteers on the organizing committee for the fair and knew the group could use the kind of technical expertise Park would bring. “It was a win-win,” said Wilkinson. “With Jin’s commitment to volunteerism and her ability to help us build presentations and social media campaigns, we knew she could really further our efforts to help people like her find the ideal volunteer job.” The relationship didn’t stop there. In short order, Park used those same re-

search skills she developed in school to find her own funding through a federal grant program designed to help recent graduates land a position in the not-for-profit world. With funding in hand, she created a paid position for herself at Kelowna Community Resources and. In the year and a half since she and Wilkinson met, she has helped bring both the fair and the organization into the community even more with a social media presence. All in all, the experience has helped Park develop the confidence she needs to really commit to her new profession. “The volunteer opportunity was quite unstructured and I had a chance to try things out. Combined with the knowledge I gained in school, I really found out that this is what I want to do,” she said. Park’s handiwork will be on display in a PowerPoint presentation at the Kelowna Community Resources Okanagan Volunteer Fair this Saturday, Sept. 8. The fair is held at Parkinson Recreation Cen-

tre, 1800 Parkinson Way, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is open to anyone and everyone to come and find a volunteer opportunity that fits. If you are looking for paid employment, volunteerism is a great way to build a resumé and get a foot in the door. If you are looking to volunteer in order to meet new people, contribute to a worthy cause or find an new enjoyable way to spend the day, there are plenty of options to choose from as well.

Time for stiffer sentences

anada’s crime rate is at a 30-year low, but despite this good news story, people still feel the justice system is too lax on criminals. Recent sentencings, like that of shamed senior RCMP officer Monty Robinson, give credence to people’s cries of foul. For obstructing justice in a hit-and-run death, he received a small conditional sentence and a temporary curfew. This is in contrast to the sentencing of the Stanley Cup riot-

ers. Some young men being sentenced for taking part in the riot are receiving seven to nine months jail time for their part. This may seem either harsh or just in the eyes of the public. But in comparison, an Abbotsford man recently convicted of child pornography received only 18 months. A conditional sentence is a common sentence for the crime, even if the perpetrator is not just looking at child porn but distributing it.

Convicted pedophiles usually do see the inside of a jail cell, but sentences range and often aren’t longer than two years. It is particularly troubling that in this study on crime rates, the offence which saw the largest increase was child pornography, which jumped 40 per cent in 2011 from 2010, say police. The judicial system doesn’t appear to take sexual crimes against children as seriously as it does rioters. The provincial government

wanted to send a strong message that those who riot will pay for the crime they committed. The message was heard loud and clear by our judges who by B.C. judicial standards, are handing down harsh sentences. If our government can carry that kind of weight and influence with the provincial judicial system in sending a message of deterrence for rioting, can it not send an even stronger message to protect our children from predators?

Kindergarten marks start of a long journey for youngsters

“

This will be the first day of the rest of your life.” With those words from my wife, she and I embarked on our daughter’s first day in kindergarten. That kind of build-up caught me a little off-guard, as I thought maybe that’s what you say to your son or daughter when they graduate high school, or university. But it reminded me of the reality that going to school is still a big deal to kids, even if they probably don’t quite understand it all at the kindergarten age of 5 or 6. Frightening and exciting all at the same time. As part of the Echo Boom written about in our close-up feature last week by assistant editor Alistair Wat-

ers, we are contributors to the crush of new students joining the school system at the kindergarten level. And we are also part of a still relatively new experiment in B.C.—kids going to kindergarten class for a full day. I’m not sure what to make of that idea yet, but as parents with another pre-school aged child still at home, the idea of dispatching one of the kids to school for the day offers considerable appeal. But with the first day of class on Wednesday, our first introduction to

the teacher and vice versa, you realize your child is entering a tunnel for the next 13 years of their life that holds so much excitement, so much promBarry ise and so much trepiGerding dation all at the same time. I am fond of saying that teenagers enter a tunnel during their adolescence and parents hope their kids emerge on the other side intact. You hope what you have taught them in their childhood years will see them through to the other side. But as we walked into our daughter’s new classroom, her thin fin-

EDITOR’S NOTE

gers gripping the hands of her mother and me—perhaps a little tighter than usual—undoubtedly feeling a little overwhelmed at this new step her young life, I began to think perhaps that tunnel starts sooner than I thought. For me, my two most vivid memories of school don’t include kindergarten or even Grade 1. Instead, I think back to dealing with transferring from one school to another over the Christmas holidays in Grade 4. My mom walked me to my new school, I was escorted to class and the teacher proceeded to have every student stand up and introduce themselves to me. As the new kid who just wanted to blend in with

some anonymity, I was mortified. I just wanted to crawl under my desk and hide. The other memory was entering junior high in Grade 8, of making that jump from elementary to high school, of going to a school that was overcrowded where the Grade 10s were treated with great reverence and student-initiated prank bomb scares were a weekly occurrence. But all that drama made for perhaps the most exciting year of my K-12 experience. What’s in store for my daughter, I don’t know, other than to hope she experiences many positive memories that will stick with her as an adult and perhaps talk to her kids about one day. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS ▼ PIT BULL BITES

Dog breed-specific ban ‘overzealous’ To the editor: Re: Children Mauled: Dog Attacks Revive Calls for Pit Bull Ban, Aug. 30 Capital News. Initial reaction is yes, I feel for those children and their families. No one likes to hear about accidents that leave others hurt or injured. My immediate second thought was that powerful, medium to large size dogs

should always be under immediate supervision and/or leash when there are small children in company or friends and family that may feel some hesitation around certain breeds. This is needed out of simple respect and safety— hallmarks of responsible animal ownership. When my son was two years old my boyfriend got an American Staffordshire

red nose pit bull. On top of this his roommate had a mastiff. Lexus was a lovely animal. Smart, clever, loving, loyal and yes, very powerful. We too were “good, caring and vigilant owners” but we were also very aware that her breed and other medium to large breeds were never to be near children unless we were standing right there, between them and usual-

ly had them on a leash. I would own another pitty in a minute. I agree with Jayme Bush (mother of an injured child) that people need to be aware of the dangers, never leave them alone with children, etc. But when she says it’s time to ban (just) pit bulls, she speaks out of emotion for her personal tragedy, not objectivity.

With an irresponsible headline like “Children Mauled” these witch hunts and calls for overzealous, emotion-driven legislation against pit bulls will continue to build further breed specific hatred. Animals of all kinds are unpredictable. Regard them all with respect and caution. Darci Sellers, Kelowna

More background needed behind the headline To the editor: Re: Children Mauled: Dog Attacks Revive Calls for Pit Bull Ban, Aug. 30 Capital News. There are misleading errors in this story. For one, a pit bull isn’t an actual breed but rather a general term used to refer to several different breeds including American pit bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers, and others. They are not inherently aggressive and with correct training, like any

other dog breed, they can be great family pets. The American Temperament Test Society is a professional organization that objectively tests the temperaments of various dog breeds. As a result of the tests and observations done by the American Temperament Test Society, the American pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier scored 83.4 per cent, 83.3 per cent, and 93.2 per cent respectively. The average

scoring that year was 81 per cent, for the 200 dog breeds tested. The American Temperament Test Society has ranked pit bulls better in temperament than many other breeds including breeds such as beagle, border collie, shih tzu, pomeranian, and others. Failing to include more information will influence readers’ opinions in a negative way and contribute to the stigma surrounding the breeds that fall under the label pit bull

like the American pit bull terrier. Owners are responsible for disciplining their dogs and reinforcing correct behaviours. A dog does not suddenly snap and bite someone, there is always a reason and it does not lie in the breed. People need to be reminded or educated of the effect that improper training has on dogs, with the owners being at fault if the dog displays bad behaviour. A dog owner may

truly be loving and caring but that does not mean they are properly educated in dog training or behaviour. Bad behaviour comes from a dog that is not trained properly, not a specific breed. Please do not continue to contribute to the stigma surrounding this amazing breed by not providing all the information, it is a disservice to the breed as well as to your readers. Jessica Munster, Kelowna

Frontline deserves our thanks Why doesn’t cent it is passed without dissent that same morning they vote on it, yet when it comes to the people who are providing us with this fantastic care they have to settle for zero, zero and zero. Possibly, if some of the executives weren’t being paid such ludicrous salaries with extravagant bonuses along with awesome payouts and goldplated pensions, there would be a little more for the people who actually provide the services we all so dearly covet. It always seems that the ones who make it possible for the upper ech-

elon to be so handsomely paid are the ones who are constantly told by them that there is no money for them even if it is just the cost of living. We all need health care at some time and education is tantamount to our future as a province along with many other services we take for granted, so next time you have need of one of these services let these front line workers know how much you appreciate their dedication and effort even if it is with just a simple, thank you. John D. Grant, Kelowna

city ‘get’ the meaning behind covenant? To the editor: In response to the article on the Simpson Covenant in the paper recently (Downtown Parkade Plan Hits Land Use Covenant Roadblock, Aug. 31 Capital News), do you mean to tell us that, once again, the Simpson family is having to defend the covenant? We are wondering what part of the legal document that city hall does not understand. Where is the honour and integrity in all of this? Hilary Maranda, Kelowna

Clean up new Glenmore Road Express yourself To the editor: The new Glenmore Road is great. But it has become an appalling eyesore. Weeds on both sides of the road have been neglected to the point that they reach four feet in height in most places and yawn wildly over the sidewalks. The city has inadvertently set the standard for tidiness by its neglect and

it is therefore encouraging users to be as neglectful by littering and allowing their pets feces to remain undisturbed and smelling on the sidewalks. It’s disgusting to see. Our city council doesn’t seem to care about it, so why should pet owners? Kelowna is a tourist destination. Does council have such disregard for how we show ourselves

to the world? Perhaps it is not in any of their backyards. Too bad. Members of Kelowna council need to look at their constituency through critical eyes and help us have some pride in welcoming visitors. Try to remember that there is a lot more to Kelowna than just our downtown core and waterfront. David Burtch, Kelowna

Proclamation revives debate that started over flying a flag Dispute from A3 Abortions are provided at hospitals across the province, including at Kelowna General Hospital. While Mellor said her group has no intention of asking for a pro-choice proclamation, it does plan to talk to Gray about the matter. If it cannot persuade him to rescind the proclamation, she said her group will likely drop the issue as it does not want to further publicize Kelowna Right To Life’s planned week. Meanwhile, the city says proclamations serve a community interest in officially recognizing the diversity in the community and the work done by

non-profit groups. “As the B.C. Human Rights Commission has established, a proclamation is a service provided by the office of the mayor, not an expression of the personal views of the mayor. The commission has also established proclamations cannot be selectively issued, but must be available to all groups that conform to the application process,” says a prepared statement on the issue. “Council acknowledges the potential for contradictory or controversial proclamations, but these proclamations are not intended as an endorsement of one view over another. They are issued upon request to groups seeking

awareness of their cause and to promote a climate of understanding and mutual respect where all are equal in dignity and rights.” It goes on to say Kelowna city council is comfortable supporting citizens’ right to proclaim opposing points of view, as long as it’s done respectfully and does not espouse racism, discrimination, violence, hatred or political organizations. In Kelowna, groups that request the proclamation provide sample wording or key facts about the organization and the cause or event. Since becoming mayor last year, Gray has issued more than 50 proclamations for different groups and events.

Okanagan summer sunshine wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappear just yet Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

The dry, brown hills that are typical of the Okanagan in late summer are a clear indication that this was a typical, hot, dry summer, with 19 days of temperatures above 30 C during August. Meteorologist David Jones with Environment Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weather office, reports there was a lengthy stretch of hot days during August, but that was tempered by cool nights, so the mean temperature for the month was within the normal range. Normal for August is a mean temperature of 18.7 C and it was 19.9 C this year, but overnight temperatures were often in the single digits, so the above normal number of hot daysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;11 in a row that were above 30 Câ&#x20AC;&#x201D;did not set any new records. However, the average maximum temperature was 2.5 C above average for August. Rainfall was also down remarkably from normal, with just 2.4 mm of rain last month, compared to the normal of 34 mm. That balanced out Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s above-normal amount of rain and the severe thunderstorms that marked the beginning of July.

Pitbull set loose in crash A man involved in a single vehicle rollover near Carmi Monday may have only suffered minor injuries, but he is now sorely missing manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend. The Kelowna RCMP received a report of a single vehicle rollover near Highway 33 and the Trapping Creek Forest Service Road, Sept. 3 at 3:20 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The driver, a 19-yearold West Kelowna man, apparently fell asleep at the wheel and drove off the road, overturning the Toyota Tacoma he was driving,â&#x20AC;? said Const. Kris Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He suffered minor injuries, but is now missing his dog, Storm. The crash spooked the friendly grey pit bull who ran off into the bushes.â&#x20AC;? Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Storm is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

This past August was sunnier than normal as well. Shorter days now mean the continuation of

hot, dry weather doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t translate into temperatures quite as high as August. However, the forecast for late this week includes

a couple of high temperatures of nearly 30 C, well above the average maximum day temperature for this time of year, of 22 C.

Such warm, dry weather is forecast to continue into next week, with a possibility that it may even continue to the mid-

dle of the month, when a big ridge is expected to move in. Once thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moved through, there could be a

return to warm, dry weather, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too far out for reliable forecasting, noted Jones. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Letnick lands in agricultural ministry

Cabinet from A12

Central Okanagan gains greater voice Alistair Waters

MLA from A1

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Commenting on his appointment, Rhonda Dreidiger, chair of the B.C. Agriculture Council, said she’s optimistic that Letnick’s experience on several Sele ct Standing Committees means he’s not coming into his new post cold. “He has a good background and experience,” she commented. “We’re looking forward to working with him on the programs and priorities set by the previous minister.” She noted that it’s ironic agriculture is a huge economic generator for B.C.—third in the province—yet it’s at the bottom of the barrel in terms of the priorities of this government.

All three Central Okanagan MLAs are now in the B.C. cabinet. Premier Christy Clark unveiled her new cabinet Wednesday following the announced departure over the last few days of 13 Liberal MLAs. Heading into cabinet for the first time is Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, named the province’s new agricul-

ture minister (See story on A1). Letnick said he was pleased to receive the call Tuesday to meet with the premier, saying he had expressed an interest in serving in a cabinet post, though he hadn’t specified in what portfolio. Clark tabbed Letnick several months ago to lead the select standing committee on health which is looking at the future of health care in B.C. But as a minister, Let-

nick said he cannot chair a standing committee so he will have to relinquish the post. He did not know who will take it over. Despite that, the local MLA said health care remains a key concern of his constituents, one he plans to continue to work on. With the appointment of Letnick as agriculture minister, the Central Okanagan has now seen that portfolio held, at one time or another since the last provincial election in

2009, by all three Central Okanagan Liberal MLAs. In addition to Letnick’s promotion to cabinet, Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart will make a return to the cabinet table after serving as the Liberal caucus whip. Stewart returns as the new citizen services minister, a portfolio he held from 2009 to 2010 under former premier Gordon Campbell. During his time in cabinet, Stewart also served

as community and rural development minister and before that as agriculture minister. j Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson retained his forests, lands and natural resource operations portfolio in the shuffle. In announcing the new cabinet, Clark said its makeup would reflect a focus on a strong and growing economy, See Cabinet A13

controlling spending and making life more affordable for families. “This new cabinet brings a renewed commitment to our priorities,” said Clark. “That means staying focused on jobs and fiscal discipline and continuing our efforts to make life more affordable for B.C. families. I have directed each minister to stay focused on these priorities.” The new cabinet is made up of 16 ministers and two ministers of state, plus the premier. No new ministries were added. There is a new cabinet

working group focused on family affordability, and the cabinet committee on jobs and economic growth now includes skills training. The Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation has been realigned as the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, with the same minister also responsible for Labour. The reorganization is in recognition of the dynamic labour needs that vary across our province, because ensuring British Columbians have the right skills for the right job is integral to maintaining a strong economy, said the premier’s office.

Bernard facelift is now underway Prepare from A1 that will give the public a chance to win 500 “downtown” dollars, good at stores in the work zone. A draw will be made every two weeks during the work periods. “Downtown is open for business but there will be some short-term pain for long-term gain,” said the mayor. Gray added he feels the community will rally

to help downtown merchants by shopping in the area during the work. The mayor said part of the new streetscape plan for Bernard calls for a new archway at Richter Street. But an artist’s rendition shows what city officials are calling a “gateway,” large wooden poles on each side on the road for several metres with banners flying from them.

It is a full house at UBC Okanaganthis fall. The evidence is apparent, as thousands of students arrived on the Okanagan campus Tuesday to participate in Create, the student orientation program that kicks off the new school year. Newcomers to UBCO were able to learn about the people, places, activities and resources as they explore their new university home and get the program-specific information they need to get started on their academic path. Classes started Wednesday with a record number of students registered for the 2012-13 winter session. The seven-year-old campus has reached capacity with 8,307 fulltime enrolments. That is up from 7,932 last year. With the seven-year, $400-million campus construction phase largely complete, UBCO embarks on a new era with a new chief steward at the helm. UBCO’s focus now

A peek into the future stampede

nyone who has ever debated with me the topic of economic forecasting undoubtedly knows that I am, in general, a sworn skeptic. I just don’t think that economic forecasting can be done. In my opinion, the sheer number of known and unknown variables makes a mockery of the whole exercise. However, I do think that an investor can successfully use demographics as a long-term forecasting tool simply because it can provide a peek into the future. Let’s take the baby boomers for example. Since they are all about the same age, they all tend to consume— or stop consuming—the same products or services, at about the same time. So far, it’s been similar to a cattle stampede. Their sheer numbers have distorted almost every market that you can think of. When they all try to buy something at the same time, prices ‘boom’ and go up.

INVESTMENT INSIGHTS

Robert Oleksyn When they all try to sell something at the same time, prices ‘bust’ and go down. One question that I get asked quite often is: “What do you think will happen to the housing market?” I have looked in my crystal ball and I boldly predict that the boomers will get older. Here are just a few boomer housing trends that I am currently contemplating. First, the bulk of the baby boomers have now passed through their large family home buying years. Therefore, the market will soften simply because there is fewer postboomers available to buy them. Second, I think that baby boomers’ tastes and needs have changed.

Boomers are interested in downsizing simply because their children are now grown. They don’t want to mow all that grass and clean all those bathrooms. In my opinion, the third issue concerns the costs associated with the future medical care for baby boomers. The boomers have caused sudden and extreme price increases in everything that they have bought so far, why would anyone think that the cost of health care would be any different? So, who will pay? I consider it absolute fantasy to think that society is somehow going to be able to increasingly tax fewer and fewer working people, who have the least resources, so that society can pay more and more to the boomers for health care and retirement. I think the boomers will have to pay. The problem is that if the unprepared boomers don’t have the current income to pay their bills, they will have to divest some of their assets. Since housing is one

of a boomer’s most significant assets, I would expect that many will have to downsize in order to cover these under estimated expenses. Are these the only factors? I very much doubt it. You’ll have to do more homework. But my point is that you can use demographics to help avoid getting fiscally trampled by the baby boomer stampede.

OC alumni giving award to social media innovator One of the biggest names in social media today—Ryan Holmes, chief executive officer and founder of HootSuite—is this year’s recipient of the Okanagan College Alumni Association’s Distinguished Alumni Award. Holmes is known worldwide as the brains behind the multi-million dollar social media management powerhouse HootSuite, and it all started with his studies at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus. “I attended Okanagan College because it allowed me to run my business, which was then a paintball field, while working towards a degree,” said the 37-year-old Holmes, who grew up in Vernon. “It’s funny. I loved taking computer science but felt like business was a better fit for me. Ultimately my heart was in both.” Holmes will receive the award from the Okanagan College Alumni Association at the Kelowna campus on Friday, Oct. 5. Holmes founded the Vancouver-based company Invoke Media, which developed HootSuite in 2009. HootSuite has since become the global leader in its field with nearly five million global users, in-

Sun’s Davis: A man of many positions Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

In his four-plus seasons with the Okanagan Sun, Bobby Davis has seen the football field from a few different perspectives. After previous stints at both quarterback and defensive back, the 22-yearold West Kelowna product will close out his junior career in 2012 at the slotback position. And so far, so good in the latest experiment for Davis who has been a crucial part of the club’s offensive attack this season with 14 catches for 209 yards and two touchdowns. “So far, everything seems to be going pretty well,” Davis said of his move to slotback. “I’m making the majority of my catches, and I already understand the offense from being around it for so long, so I think it’s been a good transition. I’m also there to help mentor (rookie quarterback) Cam (Bedore) a little bit, so I feel like it’s a pretty good situation all around.” After serving in a backup capacity at quarterback during his first two seasons (2008-09), Davis took over the No. 1 job in 2010, leading the Sun to 9-1 record and a firstplace finish in the BCFC. Only a 16-14 loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders in the BCFC final at the Apple Bowl tarnished an otherwise stellar season for Davis and his teammates. “I still get a sick feeling when I think of that,” Davis said with a laugh.

Bobby Davis Re-energized and back to make amends as the starting pivot in 2011, Davis’s season was soon knocked off the rails when he broke his left thumb in the club’s third game. Following surgery and wearing a cast, Davis made the move to defensive back and returned to the lineup in Week 5. However, he broke the hand a second time and was out for the season. Davis fully intended on returning to the quarterbacking helm in 2012, but his career took yet another turn in March when he dislocated his right (throwing) shoulder while playing touch football. It wasn’t long after that—during a stop at B.C. Lions rookie camp—the Mt. Boucherie grad decided once and for all on a switch to slotback. Not only was the arm not up to its former standard, but Davis figured his future in the needed to take a different path. “I just couldn’t throw the way I had been, the shoulder would get fatigued easily and I couldn’t throw as far,” Davis said. “So I went to Lions’ camp as a receiver and I kind of decided the way to go was as a slot-

The way football is for Canadian quarterbacks, even if you break every record in the CIS, there aren’t very many opportunities. If I wanted to go anywhere, I figured slotback gave me the best chance. It was a tough decision to leave (quarter-

back) but the shoulder injury reinforced that.” From Sun head coach Gavin Lake’s perspective, players as versatile, athletic and coachable as Bobby Davis are few and far between. “He’s an outstanding individual who’s going to

be a success in whatever he chooses,” Lake said. “I think this transition has been as seamless as any I’ve seen. Hopefully we can utilize Bobby the best way we can to help us make the next step as a team. “I wished I’d had

Bobby for four years, he’s a special athlete.” While Davis has enjoyed some individual success this season, the same level of prosperity hasn’t followed the team as the Sun sits in fourth place in the BCFC at 1-3. Still, Davis believes

there’s plenty of time, talent and more than enough will to right the ship. “There are a lot of new guys here from all over, and the chemistry is still building. Cam (Bedore) and the offense is just going to better. We’ve already showed we can compete, we showed it in Nanaimo (30-29 loss)… that game just got away from us. Everybody is still confident. “There’s nothing we can’t fix and we have six games left to do it.” And while Davis would undoubtedly like to end to his junior days with a B.C. championship, nothing will take the luster off what has been a rewarding five seasons in Sun colours. “I’ve seen a lot of players come and go over the years, a hundred guys at camp every year, so I’ve met a lot of people,” said Davis. “I’ve really enjoyed it and when I look back on it, it’s a little upsetting to think it will be over soon. “But it’s not over yet. We still have some games to win.” Davis, who will have two years eligibility remaining in the CIS, hopes to earn a roster spot next season at a Canadian university. Davis is currently in his fourth year at UBC Okanagan in the human kinetics program. Davis and the Sun return to action Saturday night at the Apple Bowl when they host the Westshore Rebels. Kick off is 7 p.m. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Main steps back from game due to recurring symptoms Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

As much as he, his coaches and teammates wanted it, a return to the Kelowna Rockets lineup simply wasn’t to be for Spencer Main. The 20-year-old centre this week decided to put his major junior career indefinitely on hold as the result of recurring concussion symptoms. After missing the last 60 games of the 2011-12 Western Hockey League season due to injury, the North Vancouver native resumed full workouts this summer and received medical clearance to return to the ice. But last week, in the early stages of the Rock-

ets’ 2012 training camp, the symptoms returned. “I did everything possible to make sure I was ready and prepared for the season,” said the 5-foot11, 185-pound Main. “But nothing can get you ready for game contact and that’s when my symptoms returned. I have to put my health first and I need to be 100 per cent before I can think about coming back.” Main has received accolades from the Rockets’ coaching staff for both his character and leadership, both on and off the ice. Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton said his presence will clearly be missed, but said Main’s health and well-being is of paramount importance.

“It’s a big loss for our organization but we’re going to do what is in the best interest of Spencer Main,” said Hamilton. “The best thing for him now is to step away from the game and try to get healthy.” Main spent his entire four-year WHL career with the Rockets. After being selected in the second round of the 2007 bantam draft,

he joined the Rockets for the 2008-09 season and was with the club when it played in the 2009 Memorial Cup in Rimouski. Main played in 197 career regular season games, compiling 24 goals, 28 assists and 129 penalty minutes. He also had six points in 34 playoff games. With all the time and energy Main spent on his

training regime this past summer, it wasn’t the outcome he was expecting or hoping for. Still, Main isn’t about to take any undue risks with his health. “It’s tough knowing that I can’t play right now,” he said. “It’s difficult knowing that I am getting symptoms but at this point I have to put my health first. “I’d like to thank the

Rockets organization and medical staff for their tremendous support during the past year.” Main is the second member of the Rockets to step back from the game in the last year due to concussion symptoms. Forward Max Adolph retired in 2011-12 after playing 97 games with the Rockets over parts of three seasons.

ROCKET SHOTS…

The Rockets will meet the Victoria Royals in a WHL pre-season homeand-home set this weekend. On Friday, the clubs will meet Friday night in Maple Ridge. On Saturday, the Rockets and Royals will face off at 7 p.m. at Prospera Place. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

But the KSS grad rebounded in the second and final round with a 4-under par 68 to finish at even par 142. Osland ended up in a three-way tie for third, one shot out of second and seven back of the winner, Casie Cathrea. “I was kind of struggling a little going into the tournament, so I wanted to see how I was doing before our competitive season started,” Osland said.

Sourisseau and the Canadians will be trying to qualify for the 2013 Junior World Cup. The following is a Q and A with Sourisseau, conducted by Field Hockey Canada: FHC: What are you most looking forward to

at the 2012 Pan American Junior Championship ? Natalie: I am really looking forward to having the whole team together again, and to finally play in our first major tournament which we have been working towards for so long. I am also look-

ing forward to being able to put everything we have learned into action in order to hopefully medal, and qualify for the Junior World Cup. We are shooting for gold. FHC: What are your personal goals for Guadalajara?

Natalie: My personal goals are to continue working on controlling the tempo of the game as well as my possession skills under pressure. FHC: Did the Europe Tour in July prepare you for Guadalajara? Natalie: Our tour to

Europe helped us build on our team play and tactics, as well as continue to fine tune our skills and build chemistry against some very tough opposition. We also used the tour to develop our offensive game which was missing at times in Argentina.

Whiplash injuries are a very common cause of neck pain and disability reported in the physiotherapy clinic. According to the most recent statistics provided by ICBC (www.icbc. com), 47,870 traffic collisions were reported in British Columbia in 2007. Unfortunately, it’s these collisions that are the most common cause of this painful and frus-

trating condition. Understanding whiplash and how it differs from other neck injuries is important in helping you to manage your injury. First, whiplash is defined by a rapid acceleration then deceleration force on the neck, occurring at speeds too fast for the muscles in the neck to support. As a result, multiple joints in the neck are placed under strain, rather than just the one joint in a regular neck injury.

The resulting trauma is most often to the soft tissue such as the ligaments and deep muscles that support these joints. The spine in the neck can be divided up into seven vertebrae. All these vertebrae have a cartilage disc separating them, except for the top two. It’s these top two vertebrae that often cause a large amount of the ongoing symptoms of whiplash. They are responsible for the majority of rotation that your neck can do. For example, pain and stiffness when turning to head check behind you while driving is a very common complaint after whiplash. The joints that these two vertebrae form with the head above and the third vertebrae below, also play a large role in balance and stable vision. This is because these joints are constantly sending messages to the brain informing it of the heads position and orientation. Damage to these joints can therefore result in symptoms of dizziness, unsteadiness, unstable vision and headaches. It is important to remember that whiplash is a condition with a high rate of recovery. However, due to the varied nature of a whiplash injury between individuals, it is very tough to give an estimate of recovery time and can be anywhere from a week to a year or more. The most positive finding of resent research into whiplash is that those who attempt to resume their normal daily activities have a better recovery than those who significantly reduce their ac-

tivity for a period of time. This is an important piece of advice in helping you to manage your injury but activities still need to avoid unnecessary strain in order to promote healing. Heavy or repetitive lifting and prolonged slouched or bent postures are going to cause unnecessary aggravation to your injury and slow healing. Be aware of your posture—sit or stand up tall, don’t let your head slouch in front of your shoulders and be sure to change positions frequently. Also, take care with lifting— hold objects close to your body rather than reaching away from you, causing more strain on your neck and back. Another important finding of recent whiplash research is the need to retrain and strengthen the deep muscles that support the spine and head in it’s optimal posture. These exercises are best guided by your physiotherapist, as they are very specific movements required to deactivate overused muscles and facilitate those deep postural stabilizing muscles. Exercises are then progressed to be more general and allow you to focus more on self-management as your pain and dysfunction is more under control. All neck and back injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident should be reported to your doctor in order to screen for more severe injuries such as spinal fractures.

Locked up celebrities help out animals Klaudia Celgarz, of CHBC Global News, Christy Farrell, with 103.9 The Juice, and Alex Draper, owner of Shut Out Sports Collectibles, were all locked up Friday to support a worthy cause. The trio tried to get bailed out by friends as a fundraiser for the Kelowna SPCA animal shelter. “They were in kennels complete with beds, toys and of course dogs,” said Kristin Mazuren, branch fundraising coordinator

for the Kelowna SPCA branch. The phones were ringing and the parking lot was full at the animal shelter as the public stepped up to free Ceglarz, Farrell and Draper from their kennel bondage. Their efforts raised close to $6,000 to assist local abused, abandoned and unwanted animals. “We are so pleased with the effort by Alex, Klaudia and Christy and so thankful to the commu-

nity of Kelowna for all the support we received,” stated Mazuren. The event was all part of the hype building for the annual Scotiabank and B.C. SPCA Paws for a Cause…Walk for the Animals set to take place on Sunday, Sept. 9, at the north field of City Park “This year’s event will include one-kilometre and three-kilometre walks, a Kids Zone complete with bounce house, games and prizes, The Dog’s Got Tal-

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ JOHN ANTONIUK

Dedication is needed to be a pro Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The day after his mother’s funeral, rockand-roller John Antoniuk was performing in Kelowna with his wife Jen Lane. Lane was already going through a difficult time, releasing a new album and learning to be a touring musician after injuring her foot badly enough she still has surgeries two years later. If music is your way of life, then in Antoniuk’s view, you belong on the road after an album release. So all of the pain aside, Lane and Antoniuk were here in our city playing arguably the biggest music event in its history, the dust on an emotional journey fit to spawn a thousand songs waiting in the wings to materialize, let alone settle. “To me you have to be able to stare down the barrel of the gun and say this is not what I do, this is who I am,” Antoniuk explained in interview from his home in Saskatoon Tuesday, the day of his third album release. Aptly named Always with You, the record is a tribute to his mother Marlene. It starting as a stack of songs and quickly evolved into the story of life with mom that suggests just how much a mother’s love can shape and influence. Producer Leeroy Stagger picked through the

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell

28 tracks Antoniuk presented him with to build a clean storyline of losing a woman who could squeeze beautiful music from an accordion, yet still appreciate a musical persona like Smokekiller, the alter ego Antoniuk usually plays under, enough to make her son’s music part of her last days. Marlene took an iPod with two of Lane’s albums, the first two Smokekiller albums and Stagger’s music into the hospital as she waged her last fight with the cancer that took her life. Rather fittingly, her death marks the start of a stunning musical collaboration between her son and Stagger culminating in this album. In July of the same year she passed, Antoniuk lost his job as an audio technician. His company missed out on a major hotel contract and, while he had worked his way up to management, his job effectively evaporated. Seeing a shining opportunity, the musician offered to be laid off and the loss appears to have been far more of a gain. With his mother in the hospital, no job to go to and a wife who had just released a new album, Smokekiller had the time, incentive, inspiration and vision to mold a new life in music. “Luck is created through preparation for opportunity and it helped me take focus in saying

today is today…lets be here right now and make the best of this moment,” he said. He describes the risk

as letting his mind catch up with his body. In the years proceeding his mother’s death, Antoniuk admits he had one foot in a normal worka-day world and one foot in music and it ultimately meant he wasn’t getting very far in either realm. He would picture having children with Lane, his mother playing with those children, but with no idea how the music he and Lane loved would fit. With Marlene’s passing, those “snaps began to fade” and he was able to move toward a role that saw the pair dedicating their lives to their craft. He landed two major grants—the Radiostar Songwriting Competition and the 10K20 project grant from Rawlco Radio— and with family figuring he and Lane might be in the ditch before Christmas of 2010, launched a career path

that now has them both booked into next year. “I truly believe that it’s something that wouldn’t have happened to us if we were doing it part-time,” he said. “This is a lifestyle choice.” Part of the lifestyle right now is Kelowna musician Kevin Kane, formerly of the Grapes of Wrath, who plays on the recording. While he had released two records as Smokekiller, both moniker and band didn’t fit a tribute for a woman who died of cancer; but it opened the door for new collaborations. Lane and Antoniuk had met Stagger at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2006 and they used his song Beautiful House as the music for their first dance at their wedding. The couple stayed friends with the musician/producer and when it came time to press this album, he seemed a natural choice to help synthesize a very complicated journey and showcase a powerful relationship. “As a songwriter, I’ve always wanted people to listen and hear the words,” said Antoniuk, noting this albums is already connecting with people more than any of his other work, despite the fact it’s an entirely personal topic.

Okanagan gets its own white dinner this Sunday

ou may have heard the buzz about the recent Diner en Blanc flash picnic that happened in Vancouver last Thursday? That’s

when 1,200 picnickers dressed all in white toting tables, chairs and white picnic baskets arrived at the last minute secret location of Jack Poole

Plaza (former home of the Olympic flame). It was a glorious spectacle and celebration of old world glamour and I was thrilled to make the

guest list. This soughtafter event announces its growing network with more than 15 new cities worldwide across five continents joining in.

Launched with just a handful of friends by Parisian François Pasquier over 20 years ago, Paris’ Dîner en Blanc now assembles near-

aware of people who need help,” said Gill Question: Why are businesses becoming more involved with supporting employees to volunteer? “Through our volunteer presence, we have also boosted the morale of our staff and brought them together as a team unit,” said Chris Holmes, Quality Greens co-founder. Question: Is there such as thing as uber volunteers? Answer: Yes, the top 10 per cent of these individuals contribute 52 per cent of the total volunteer hours in Canada. “Volunteering keeps my brain active as well as my body, and at the age of 76 that is a good thing,” said Marie Ablett, winner of the City of Kelowna’s Woman of the Year for 2011. Question: Can volunteering help newcomers to our community? Answer: Yes. Whether you are moving from another province or from another country, volunteering can help you find a place to fit in. “We know first-hand how frightening these adjustments can be and we want to make that transition easier,” said Ata Zahirfar, an immigrant to Canada who volunteered at Kelowna Community Resources (KCR) befriending newcomers.

ENTERTAINMENT

Sisters pursue their musical dreams Kristin Froneman BLACK PRESS REPORTER

It wasn’t long ago that raven-haired sisters Colleen and Alicia Venables had audience’s feet tapping to their fiddle tunes played on the family entertainment stage at the Interior Provincial Exhibition in their hometown of Armstrong. The girls, now in their mid-to-late teens, grew up playing together as a duo, and also with the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan and the Okanagan Symphony. Musical talent, it turns out, runs in their DNA. Now living apart, the girls take any opportunity they can to perform together since they have each gone on their own paths, playing solo and in ensembles on more national and international stages. Alicia, 19, is about to return to Calgary for her second year in Mount Royal’s music performance diploma program, while also concurrently participating in the Mount Royal Conservatory’s advanced performance program. But it’s with her little sister where she really feels most at home, as could be seen recently when their bows flew in unison while performing at the Vernon Farmers’ Market. “Although we have grown as individuals, we still have an amazing connection,” said Colleen, 16, who is still in high school. Just recently, the girls were, individually, named among Canada’s best young musicians. After placing in their respective categories at the regional and provincial music festivals, the Venables were victorious at the 2012 National Music Festival, held Aug. 16 to 18 at Key-

ano College in Fort McMurray, Alta. Colleen won the top title in the strings category, which came with a $1,500 award, while Alicia won first place in the ensemble category as a member of the MRU (Mount Royal University) Trio. Besides the nationals’ honour, the sisters have each had an exceptional year while pursuing their education and musical studies. After a successful fundraiser was held for Colleen by members of the Okanagan Symphony at Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort, the young violinist was able to go to Beijing, China, where she was the only Canadian chosen to compete in the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition. “Everyone was really supportive. I could not have done this without family members and the community. The fundraiser saw people support me even though they didn’t know me,” said Colleen, who made the journey in April. Although she didn’t place in the competition, the young violinist says it was a good experience and the judges gave her excellent feedback. “(The fundraiser) served as a good opportunity for me to perform the repertoire I had prepared for the competition,” said Colleen. “Every single person there was at a high level. We were around the same age and had the same interests, so I was able to make some good friends.” Colleen was also able to learn more about her heritage. Accompanied by her mother, Jan, who was born in raised in China, she visited her mom’s hometown for the first time, meeting many

Alicia, in the meantime, spent three weeks of June in the nation’s capital, participating in the young artists program at Ottawa’s National Arts Centre. She got to work with internationally renowned NAC Orchestra conductor/violinist Pinchas Zukerman and violinist/violist Patinka Kopec, who is on faculty at the Manhattan School of Music. “I did a lot of chamber music lessons and watched a lot of concerts done by the NAC Orchestra. Pinchas and his wife, Amanda (Forsyth), also did a performance on violin and cello for us, which was wonderful,” said Alicia. “I would love to end up playing with a great orchestra or symphony es-

pecially since doing so much playing in an ensemble. I love both ensemble and solo playing, and it helps to learn both as you always have to collaborate with someone.” Meanwhile, Colleen, who travels regularly to Calgary to study at the MRU Conservatory’s Academy, is pursuing her dream of being a solo artist. She returned to the Albertan city in July to once again participate in Mount Royal’s international music exchange program, Morningside Music Bridge. There she took part in the concerto competition and won a position to play in concert with the Calgary Philharmonic. Alicia, it turns

out, won the same competition last year. “I made a promise to myself to always do music as long as I want to do it. If I am not in love with what I am doing, I’m not going to give it my 100 per cent,” said Colleen. “I also think an education is as important as music. It’s good to have a back-up plan. You have to keep your options open. I love learning English, math, and languages are also important. You need the social skills to talk to people.” And although the girls are about to part ways to return back to their respective studies, they will reunite in October to play a piece they have performed together for years, Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins, with the Calgary Civic Symphony. “We have both matured a lot the past few years, not only mentally and emotionally, but in our musicality. We can communicate better which helps us express the music in the piece,” said Alicia. The sisters are especially grateful to their parents, Jan and Bob, their teachers and mentors, including the Okanagan Symphony’s music director Rosemary Thomson, who have shown the girls immeasurable support over the years. “We want to thank everyone,” said Alicia, “Being away from home now, I realize how much support I have received from my mom and dad and teachers... When you go away somewhere, you realize how much you miss it here and the support.” —Vernon Morning Star

evin was a very successful top executive for a large information technology corporation. He was happily married and had five beautiful children.

Go green with organic produceâ&#x20AC;Śdark green Fall is bear alert Simone Jennings CONTRIBUTOR

We all know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to include a variety of vegetables in our diet. All vegetables are good, but some are packed with more nutrients than others. Some of the top contenders in nutritional value include kale and spinach. These dark greens are an excellent source of vi-

Simone Jennings tamin K, vitamin C and vitamin A. They are also

a great source of the antioxidant lutein, which is thought to promote healthy eyes. These veggies are green in more ways than one. Eating dark greens this time of year is an environmentally friendly choice as local gardens are overflowing. Reduce food miles by buying your greens at your local farmers market.

Spinach can easily be preserved for later use. Blanch spinach in boiling water for one minute. Rinse in cold water and drain or squeeze off the extra moisture. Pack in freezer bags or containers and freeze for future use in lasagne, spanakopita, spinach dip or frittatas. Not sure what to do with kale? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone as kale tends to be tough, so it is best when cooked. It can also be steamed, sautĂŠed or simmered. Remove the tough stems, tear or chop the leaves into bite sized pieces and steam until bright green and tender (about 10 minutes). Add your favourite dressing to flavour and serve as a side dish. Or you can sautĂŠ it with garlic and onions and top with lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt. When cooking grains such as rice or quinoa you can add a large handful of chopped kale and some fresh herbs to the pot and let it cook with the grain.

LEMON KALE 2 Tbsp canola oil 1 onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tsp lemon rind, grated 1/2-1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (depending on preference) 10 cups kale, chopped 1/2 cup water In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, salt and pepper and cook until softened. Stir in kale and lemon rind. Continue to stir for about a minute or until the kale is slightly wilted. Add 3/4 cup water; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender (about 10 minutes). Finally, stir in the lemon juice and cook uncovered for another minute or two until the liquid has cooked off. Serve as a side dish. Pairs well with fish.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year that visitors to regional parks should beef up their bear awareness. With spawning salmon and ripening fruit across the Central Okanagan, evidence of bear activity is increasing as the bruins move down into the valley from the higher elevations in search of food. The signs that bears are more frequent visitors are occurring in Mission Creek Regional Park, along the Mission Creek Greenway, in Mill Creek Regional Park and in Woodhaven Nature Conservancy Regional Park. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also known to frequent other more natural regional parks like Kalamoir, Glen Canyon, Rose Valley, Cedar Mountain and Bertram Creek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the time of year that we start seeing more bears in some of our Regional Parks,â&#x20AC;? said regional district spokesman Bruce Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As reports of bears increase, signs are posted advising all park users that the animals may be active in the area. To reduce your chance of encountering a bear, you should travel in a group, make noise or carry something that makes noise. Smith says during the fall fish spawning season, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual for park visitors to encounter bears along local creeks and rivers, because the kokanee are a plentiful source of food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please be aware that bears fishing for food may not hear you over the noise of the creek water,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you see a bear, give it plenty of space and stay well away from it.â&#x20AC;? People should respect all bears and anticipate and avoid encounters with them whenever possible, Smith added. Bears can be aggressive, especially when defending their food or their cubs. They also have an excellent sense of both smell and hearing, and better sight than you might believe. Dog owners are reminded when in regional parks that their pets must be leashed and kept on trails at all times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only the law, but will help avoid any potentially serious wildlife encounter,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. Residents have a role to play on their property by keeping any garbage securely stored and wheeling their garbage cart out on the morning of their regular curbside collection.

District ready to upgrade ‘neglected’ cemetery Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Devastating, depressing, neglected. Those were some of the words used to describe Westbank Cemetery during Tuesday’s council meeting. A couple of the terms were borrowed by Ingrid Laube, daughter of the late Leonard Crosby, who shared her feelings about the graveyard with council Tuesday. Twenty years ago, Laube’s father and mother bought a cemetery plot at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. Unknown to her family at the time, her father eventually sold the space and purchased a plot in Westbank Cemetery instead. “The only reason he did that is so, as my mother aged, she wouldn’t cross the bridge to go visit him,” said Laube. Crosby passed away in 2010. Laube said she was “absolutely devastated” the first time she went to visit her deceased father at the Westbank Cemetery. “I could not believe the condition of the Westbank Cemetery; I was quite upset with my father for doing that.” Laube knows her ex-

pectations of what West Kelowna’s cemetery should look like are not out of the ordinary. For the majority of the past five years, prior to moving back to Kelowna to be with her mother, she was in the funeral industry and designed monuments and columbariums across Alberta. “I (have seen), firsthand, cemeteries in smaller communities than West Kelowna that are beautiful.” She said Westbank Cemetery is currently a depressing place to remember loved ones. “There’s not even a place to sit—you’ve got to sit on the concrete curbs to visit. “(A cemetery) is not just a place to bury people, it’s a place for people to mourn, to grieve, to come to terms with the people they’ve lost.” All members of West Kelowna council agreed with Laube that something needs to be done to liven up the dull cemetery. Coun. David Knowles said the area, which was established in 1925, is a “devastating place to visit.” Councillors unanimously voted to approve a Westbank Cemetery Strategy and solicit community input before finalizing

it for council consideration and approval. “This is the first time the municipality has addressed the cemetery issue,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “We inherited it about a year-and-a-half ago. Prior to that it was administered by the Westbank Irrigation District.” The strategy is intend-

ed to increase the life of the current cemetery by constructing mausoleums and columbariums— buildings that hold tombs and urns—while converting the graveyard into a self-sustaining operation with profits to be reinvested in cemetery upgrades. The aim of the plan is to allow the district to provide service at the cemetery until at least 2022 through full utilization of existing land. The strategy comes at a vital time—there is currently a shortage of land for casket burial plots. According to a report by chief financial officer Jim Zaffino, there were only 63 available full-size gravesites and 15 infant-

size plots as of March. The vision of the strategy also aims to make the 8.24-acre cemetery a green area with grass and irrigation placed around the current gravesites. Zaffino said the strategy will also look to improve the cemetery’s sign, entrance and parking lot. The district has already gathered input from West Kelowna funeral homes and will be scheduling public consultations in the near future. “I think the input from the public is going to be really important,” said Coun. Gord Milsom. “I’m glad that we’re addressing this—it’s time.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

tion to be informed and to learn as much as we can on issues of importance. But I’m often surprised at how a given perspective can change as more complete information becomes available. Sometimes, it can be a case of a lack of general public knowledge that is a factor. One example of that pertains to First Nations. Most constituents in Okanagan-Coquihalla are aware their riding has many different First Nations communities. It’s frequently observed how there are varying levels of prosperity and economic success within different First Nations communities, the positive side of that frequently attributed to the leadership shown by a particular band council or

MP’S REPORT

Dan Albas chief. While there is no question that leadership plays a very important role in every community here in our region, there are some other unique factors within First Nations communities that people are generally not aware of. While it may be commonly assumed by many that all band lands are managed collectively under the guidance of the chief, council and band administration, it’s important to recognize there are

also lands allocated to an individual band member or family. Often referred to as “locatee lands,” these land holdings are not unlike privately owned nonnative land. A locatee has the ability to make decisions with respect to their land use, independent of the local chief and council. It’s not uncommon in my constituency for a locatee to lease their lands to private sector activities that may sometimes be controversial. The status of band lands versus locatee lands was generally established many decades ago when reserve boundaries were first defined, and many historical considerations were used as part of the criteria.

geographical perspective, will have different and variable relationships between the size and location of locatee lands versus band lands. This is an important fact to be aware of as some bands will have complete control of their most strategically valued lands, whereas in other cases similar advantaged lands may be under the control of an individual locatee, or after they pass on inherited by a family member(s). From the perspective of a chief and council, it can be much more difficult to implement projects and engage in development activities if prime band lands are access challenged or are competing with locatee lands that may enjoy the benefits of easier access and an enhanced ability to be provided services. Fortunately for those bands who engage in taxation, First Nation taxation does apply to improvements on locatee lands as well as band lands, so a greater tax base can be developed over time. We are fortunate here in the Okanagan to have some very progressive First Nations communities with forward thinking leadership currently pursuing some ambitious projects that will benefit our region. While this is a somewhat simplistic overview of some of the challenges facing First Nations land use, I am hopeful that this information can provide more context of the unique challenges that may face one particular band more so than another. I value my strong working relationship with many of our Okanagan First Nations and look forward to more success in moving important projects forward for our region.

Understanding lawsuit legal costs

run my draft columns by my highly educated father who happens also to be very intelligent. I say “happens also” because I don’t equate levels of education with intelligence. He couldn’t understand what I was saying my first draft of this column. I also run my drafts by a friend whose feedback was “this is one of the harder topics to make interesting to read.” That’s her kind way of saying it bored her to tears. Ouch! I didn’t clean the slate and start from scratch because it’s an important topic. I hope the redraft is an improvement. This column is about the poorly understood matter of “costs.” Simply put, costs refers to reimbursement the losing party to a lawsuit must pay to the winning side as compensation for the legal expense of pursuing the lawsuit. This issue relates to personal injury claims because lawsuits are almost always required to pursue fair compensation for injury related losses, except in the relatively minor cases where symptoms completely resolve within several months of a collision. Try to tell someone suffering from months of neck pain and headaches that their injuries were “minor.” But the unfortunate use of language in the industry is a topic for another day. The costs structure we have in our legal system is not intended to reimburse the winning party 100 per cent of that party’s legal expenses. There are policy reasons behind partial, rather than full, reimbursement that I could discuss in another riveting column. I have been using the terms winning and losing because in the context of a personal injury claim, those words usually don’t make a lot of sense. For most motor vehicle injury claims, the issue is not who is at fault, which truly would be a win/lose assessment. Rather, most claims are about determining how much financial compensation is fair compensation. Unless there is a formal offer that changes the rules (yet another topic for another day), really any level of settlement or assessment of compensation by the court is a “win.” For the rest of this col-

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott umn, I will refer to the losing party as the insurance company. The legal bill you pay to your lawyer has two categories. One category is fees. The other category is disbursements. Fees in a personal injury claim are usually a percentage of the settlement or trial judgment. Disbursements are the dollars and cents paid by your lawyer to prosecute the claim. Your reimbursement in the form of costs is separated into the same two categories. The disbursements portion of costs is easy to explain. Examples of disbursements in a personal injury claim are the expense of obtaining and producing medical records, reports from specialist doctors and transcripts of evidence. For the most part, the insurance company must reimburse all of the disbursements, dollar for dollar. If your case settles after disbursements of only $1,000 are incurred, then that’s what the insurance company must pay. If it takes until the eve of trial for the insurance company to agree to pay fair compensation, and $30,000 of disbursements have been incurred, then they pay that higher amount. If a trial is required to compel fair compensation, then whatever disbursements are incurred to run the trial have to be reimbursed to you as well. It is with the fees portion of costs that there is usually a huge difference between the legal bill you pay and your reimbursement as costs. Unlike disbursements, the fees portion of costs is calculated according to a tariff structure (a formula) and has no connection to the actual fees you were billed. The way the tariff formula works, the further along a lawsuit you go, the higher the fees portion of your costs entitlement. In the early stages of the lawsuit, the fees portion of costs is very low —i.e. less than $5,000. If your case proceeds through to a trial judgment, however, the fees portion of your costs entitlement could be tens of thousands of dollars.

Let’s say that fair compensation for your injuries is $60,000. If you have agreed to pay your lawyer fees of one-third of your claim, your lawyer’s fees will be $20,000, regardless of when your claim resolves. If you settle your case in the early stages of the lawsuit, the tariff formula will provide for reimbursement of only a small portion of those fees, something under $5,000. If your case proceeds through a trial, though, the tariff formula may provide for reimburse-

ment of most if not all of the fees. I had one case where my client ended up receiving more in costs than I charged in fees, but that’s unusual. With the fees portion of your costs entitlement increasing as the lawsuit progresses, while your actual legal fees remain at a fixed percentage, you at least get some additional financial compensation for the inconvenience and stress of having to go further down the litigation line in order to achieve justice.

WEISSTOCK, WITTHOLD (WILLY) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father and grandfather on Friday, August 31, 2012 in Kelowna on the eve of a blue moon. Willy will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 58 years, Maria; daughter Silvia (Martin) grandchildren Genevieve, Andre, Stephane, Albert and Christophe; son Albert (Tammy) , grandsonDante; son Walter (Cheryl), grandchildren Christina and Graham; son Tony (Terri) and grandchildren Sophia and Alex. Willy was predeceased by his Son, Walter’s wife Cheryl. Willy came to Canada from Germany after WWII to start a new life. He met and married Maria when they were new Canadians learning English. They embraced the many opportunities and the beauty of this land. Willy was a keen lover of nature, a passionate hunter and an avid fisherman of both fresh and salt water. He enjoyed visiting family and friends, nurturing in them his love of nature. In later life he traveled extensively to many parts of the world. Nearer to home, he enjoyed reading, tying fishing flies, dancing, playing his harmonica, chess, billiards, and the German national game of skat. Willy had a sharp wit and great sense of humour, and he will be sorely missed by his family and friends. Willy was a man of great discipline, courage and strength of character, and these qualities left a lasting impression with all who met him. Interment will take place on Saturday September 8, 2012 at 9:30 am in Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery, 1991 Bernard Ave., with a memorial service and reception to follow at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, Springfield Road, 2020 Springfield Road both in Kelowna.

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