Kiosk tender Flagger wants callous process upsets drivers to slow down boat owners Kevin Parnell

Kelowna’s waterfront may look like just another serene slice of the Okanagan experience, but some people who run businesses in the area say appearances can be deceiving. “It used to run really good, but a few years ago it became a disaster,” said Carol Mayzes, a former boat owner who once moored her ship along the stretch that spans the distance between The Sails sculpture and the Fintry Queen. As cruise operators jockeyed for customers in a series of tables set out in front of their ships, fights erupted. And now, Mayzes said she’s convinced it’s only going to get worse due to a recent decision by city council. The city awarded a two-year contract Monday for the Fintry Queen’s ticket booth to Kelowna todo.com—a website and visitor information/ticket sales kiosk. That means the company will now get prime waterfront real estate to sell tickets for everything from boat rides to events that happen throughout the city. All boats along the

waterfront are eligible to have their cruises profiled at the kiosk, but few are willing to go that route as KelownaToDo.com belongs to fellow cruise operator JC Rathwell, with whom some of them have had past conflicts. “I’m horrified,” Mayzes said after the meeting where the contract was awarded. She was among five other boat owners who were in attendance and waited to speak against the city’s decision. Mayzes said that the Request for Proposals process was flawed and, if nothing else, the city, as the boat owners’ landlord, should have been more judicious in their decision and been more wary of any potential conflict of interest. Awarding a contract to a cruise operator was a direction that Coun. Michele Rule also expressed frustration with. She noted that the kiosk business model, which has yet to be put into effect, was supposed to provide a one-stop shop for those with tourism interests, arguing that recruiting someone with a vested interest complicated the matter.

Judy Stewart hasn’t been working in construction zones for long. But it didn’t take the 55-year-old Kelowna woman much time in her new career as a flag person to realize there are big safety issues in construction zones. Speeders, distracted drivers on cell phones and road rage are among the issues Stewart has witnessed in her short time working a highway construction project near Armstrong. The generally callous approach of many drivers in construction zones motivated Stewart to put pen to paper in an effort to remind the public to slow down in construction zones. Stewart recently penned a poem called Flaggers Lament to remind people why flaggers are out there. “It just came to me that there are a lot of speeders out there,” said Stewart. “They know who they are and this is not pointing the finger at everyone but some people need to slow down for the safety of everyone.” As the summer construction season ramps up, Stewart felt it was a good time to remind people that construction areas can be a hazardous place to work and drive if people aren’t slowing down. In March of 2006 a female flag person working near the corner of Highway 97 and Mills Road in Kelowna was killed when she was struck by a vehicle. Last year, a flagger was killed while working a construction site near Mission, B.C. Stewart says her poem wasn’t a reaction to the tragic deaths of those and other flag people that have been injured or had close calls while working, but more of a general reminder for people to slow down. “I just thought it would be something to jog the public’s awareness,” she said. “We’re here for their safety. It’s not just for the our safety or the workers, it’s for everybody. I don’t think the public is aware that we are here for them.” Stewart estimates as many as 30 per cent of the drivers that go through her construction zone are either speeding, talking on their cell phone or bothered if they have to stop for the construction to continue. “You have to develop a thick skin because some people get angry at you for stopping them. That’s life these days. Everyone is in a hurry. But people need to slow down.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

PAY ATTENTION and drive safely—that’s the message that traffic control flag people like Bernadette, working here at the corner of Leckie and Enterprise in Kelowna, would like drivers to keep in mind during road construction season.

Council quibbles over 19-storey downtown building height limit Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

VISUAL AIDS…To mark national vision health month, the

local branch of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind recently hosted an exhibit of vision aids. Francis Nickerson was on hand to demonstrate a reading enhancement device.

The plan dedicated to developing Kelowna with a coherent vision was all but reduced to one familiar refrain Monday afternoon—how high, is high enough in the downtown? As they took their final whack at the Official Community Plan, Kelowna politicians focused on the 19-storey limit to downtown building heights in what Coun. Charlie Hodge characterized as a rehashing of the issues specific to the late and often lambasted, CD 21 zone. “I won’t support OCP today, because of height,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil, sparking the flood of comments both against and in favour of the plan. “I supported CD 21 and that vision of what downtown could be. What we have here makes that vision impossible…There’s a lot of work I do support, but one (issue) was completely missed.” Coun. Kevin Craig said he believed the height limit should be bolstered to 26 storeys, as it was the only economically viable way forward. “I agree with the overall vision; we want to create urban centres where people can live work and

play, and rely less on automobiles and higher building heights create that,” he said. “In some areas, 18 storeys is the magic number, but land costs downtown are actually higher, and to achieve the mixeduse, higher density we need downtown we’ll need taller buildings to make that happen.” If the city sets a 19-storey limit, he said, staff will have to bring applications for higher buildings forward with a negative bent. And that, he continued, is not the right starting point for buildings that have to be a catalyst for development in the city. Coun. Luke Stack and Graeme James took a similar tack. Couns. Hodge, Angela Rule, Michele Rule, Robert Hobson and Mayor Sharon Shepherd, however, said tossing out the plan because of one issue that’s ultimately fluid, would be disrespectful to the public process. And, Hodge pointed out, stalling could reflect poorly on council’s decision-making capability. The current lot of politicians, Hodge said, have been characterized as a “council that doesn’t move forward and get things done” and killing the plan in the 11th hour would prove them right. “We could stand here and say I don’t like this so I’m not going to pass the OCP,” he said.

“We had a debate called the CD 21 and a decision was made. We have a downtown plan coming out and part of that is hammering out technical issues.” Amendments can be made to the plan, and they’re actually quite likely given the fact that a downtown plan is around the corner. While building height was the issue that dominated debate, the plan addressed governing development of housing, transportation, infrastructure, parks, economic development and the natural and social environment over the next 20 years. One of the key factors in devising the plan was addressing future population need. By city planners’ estimates, Kelowna will need an additional 8,565 single family units and 11,919 multi-family units over the lifespan of the plan. Around 50 per cent of new development and 80 per cent of new multiple family residential developments will be concentrated within urban hubs within the city, such as Rutland, South Pandosy, midtown and the Landmark Towers area, North Glenmore and the downtown. The plan was passed Monday with several amendments, but not an extension to downtown building heights.

the Highway 97 intersection with Nancee Way will be re-opened as of Monday and the traffic signals at Nancee Way will be programmed to stay green for highway traffic longer. “This should really

help move traffic through,” said Tekano. He added the ministry has been monitoring traffic through the construction zone at Westside Road for several weeks and wanted to do some-

thing to relieve the congestion seen during the afternoon rush hour. He said the congestion was expected as work is taking place on a portion of the highway that remains open for use by traffic

heading into and out of Kelowna every day. At times during May, traffic backed up over the bridge from West Kelowna all the way onto Harvey Avenue in Kelowna. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ OUTDOORS

Take it outside while the days are long A s the days get longer and warmer, take the opportunity to get outside and enjoy them by taking part in one of the many activities underway in the next while. Although the spring sunflowers are pretty much over, I discovered a delightful mystery blue bell-shaped wildflower while hiking through Kalamoir Regional Park over the weekend. Its photo is to the right and I would appreciate any help. Taking pictures and identifying wildflowers and birds while hiking are only a few of the outdoors activities you can enjoy now that spring is truly here. It’s not widely known yet and isn’t included in this year’s printed regulations, but fishing for kokanee in Okanagan Lake is open now right through to Oct. 31. These little silver freshwater sockeye salmon are just delicious pan-fried, even though lots of them don’t grow to be very big.

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves Note also that when fishing in Okanagan Lake, there is a barbless hook requirement now rather than a single barbless hook specified in the regulations, with the idea that will reduce the unintended hooking mortality on small rainbow and kokanee from the large single hooks. This year’s trial fishery opened June 1, but fishing for kokanee in Okanagan Lake was closed from 1991 to 2005 to help conserve dwindling stocks. Recovery has permitted this partial opening. Remember too to take your favourite youngster to catch their first fish at the Hall Road pond in Mission Creek Regional Park and at Shannon Lake where the netted-off bay

has been recently stocked with catchable-sized trout for youngsters under 16 to try their hand at fishing. Sundays until Father’s Day, regional district staff will be at both locations to help youngsters and answer fishing questions. I hear the bass are biting now in Shannon Lake itself, where some pretty nice-sized trout have been caught in recent years as well. And, on the free Family Fishing Weekend, June 17, 18 and 19, no freshwater fishing licence is required and anyone can fish in waters throughout the province, although streams in this area are closed to fishing to protect spawning trout. There are also at least a couple of free community fishing events being held here. The Lonely Loons Flyfishing Society is holding its 12th annual barbecue and fishing event for kids at Bear (Lambly) Lake on Bear Main logging road Sunday, June 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There’ll be free rods available for those under 12 and bait available, reports coordinator Paul Phillips. And, Saturday, June 18, volunteers from the Peachland Sportsman’s Association will give you a hand learning the ins and outs of the storied, lifelong sport of fishing. That’s the day they hold their annual barbecue and fishing derby for families, at Shannon Lake. So take the youngsters out to learn a sport that will last a lifetime and lead to respect for the environment. If armchair adventure is more up your alley, enjoy the exploits of Kelowna Museums executive-director Wayne Wilson as he paddles the Columbia River from Invermere in the Kootenays, to Fort Astoria, where that mighty river empties into the Pacific Ocean. The Okanagan River, which has its headwaters here in this valley, is a major tributary of the Columbia.

His epic trip is part of the 2011 Voyageur Brigade celebrating the 200th anniversary of explorer and map-maker David Thompson’s journey through the Rockies and down the Columbia. The 125 or so paddlers, in their 11 voyageur canoes will arrive at the ocean July 16, after six weeks of travel, 200 years to the day after Thompson did. You can follow them by joining in with Wilson and supporting him on his blog site at: columbiabrigade.wordpress.com and you can get more details on the whole trip at: www.2011brigade.com Help him to raise funds for the museum’s fur trade program for school kids by pledging a buck for every day he survives the grueling (46day) trip.

CAN YOU help Trail Mix columnist Judie Steeves identify this mysterious wildflower found growing in a damp spot near Okanagan Lake? which flow over benches of tufa deep in the forest off June Springs Road in East Kelowna. The hike is about six kilometres and likely will take three hours on a moderately good hiking trail. This is part of a series of free monthly hikes organized to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary this year. For more details, go to: www.okanagannature.org Meet up with your guide, Bob Fulton at the parking lot for the East Kelowna Sports field, at

2741 East Kelowna Road, where KLO Road becomes McCulloch Road by 9 a.m. Fulton warns hikers this is not like the terraced hot springs of Yellowstone Park or the hot pools found in the Kootenays, but instead is a small warm spring flowing over deposits of tufa. Wherever you go and whatever you do, enjoy the Okanagan’s beautiful outdoors. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Body fluid transfer concerns addressed in new legislation ASSISTANT EDITOR

Local MLA Norm Letnick says its time paramedics, firefighters and even Good Samaritans in B.C. know whether the people they help have diseases if they come in contact with that person’s body fluid in the course of helping him or her. Letnick, the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country, has introduced a private member’s bill that would enable emergency workers and others who help people on the street to apply for a court order to force those being helped to undergo testing if required. “Seems like a no brainer, eh?” said Letnick, who noted Nova Scotia has had such legislation in place since 2004, Saskatchewan since 2005, Ontario and Alberta since 2006 and Manitoba since 2008. He said in the other jurisdictions, because of the legislation, often an emergency worker does not have to resort to the courts to force testing and to provide the results, the people helped do it voluntarily.

Currently in B.C., when a paramedic or a firefighter assists someone and comes in contact with that person’s body fluid, such as blood, all they can do is go to their own doctor for tests and be placed on lengthy and sometimes expensive precautionary medicine. Depending on the medicine, that regime can last for up to six months. Letnick said he has already collected information about instances in the past to support his bill including one case where a paramedic had a patient’s blood coughed up into his eyes and another where blood entered a paramedics mouth. “We never hesitate to call 911 when we need help,” said Letnick. “Our emergency responders told us they need this protection, and it was time to help them for a change.” Letnick said, based on the applause he received from both sides of the legislature earlier this week when he introduced his private member’s bill, he expects it should pass easily.

Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick outside the B.C. Legislature after Letnick introduced his private member’s bill to protect emergency workers. His proposed legislation was also received well by the people it will directly affect. “Today is a great day for fire service personnel and other emergency service workers in British Columbia,” said Kelowna Professional Firefighters Association president Larry Hollier who was in Victoria to hear Letnick speak in the Legislature. “The introduction of this bill will alleviate many stresses, not only to the affected member, but the family as a whole.” The president of the Ambulance Paramedics

of B.C. Bronwyn Barter, said the stress such incidents place on emergency workers and their families can be terrible. “We are left with uncertainty and it could be six months to find out the results of tests and different issues at home because of the uncertainties,” said Barter. Letnick said one of the biggest concerns with the bill will be the protection of privacy for those affected. To that end, he said the 20-page bill includes rules that only allow the medical information to be

shared between the person being tested, his or her doctor, the person asking for the test and his or her doctor.

NEWS ▼ OKANAGAN SYMPHONY

Ready to put music to words Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Small scribes break out your pens. The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra will host a unique story writing competition for the elementary set. The contest is the brainwave of music director Rosemary Thomson, who staged a similar writing event in Calgary and Winnipeg, asking local children to conjure the storylines for the orchestra to accompany on stage. “They’re the composer with words,” said administrator Laurie Henderson, who is charged with collecting the entries as they come in. Henderson says there is no limit

to what contestants should add into the pieces. “Whatever they write about, we can find an expression in the orchestral repertoire,” she said, noting “it’s amazing to hear what music behind it does.” At least two stories will be selected—one for the kindergarten through Grade 3 crowd and one from those in Grades 4 to 6—as part of the Family Matinée and Education Concert Series. Your Story at the Symphony, as the concert will be called, will be held in February 2012 and the winners can expect to be interacting with the professional musicians who perform their work. A jury, including Thomson, public and school librarians, has been selected to go over the master-

pieces—typed and handwritten are accepted. Entries must be received by Friday, June 17, preferably scanned and emailed in a PDF format. Entry forms and information can be found on the symphony website www.okanagansymphony. com. Original work can be mailed to P.O. Box 20238, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 9H2. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if it must be returned. E-mail entries will go to laurie@okanagansymphony.com, subject line “stories.” The OSO office is at #239 -1889 Springfield Road for those who wish to drop entries off. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Think chocolate. This is what the event planners at the Centre for Arts and Technology are doing over the next few weeks as they fine-tune their biggest assignment yet—raising funds for Bumbershoot Theatre. The students are the masterminds behind the upcoming Hullabaloo fundraising event which will see stations themed around previous performances from Bumbershoot, a popular local kids theatre company, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is going to be our chocolate station,” said Jessi Mandoli, who says it will be a themed dessert extravaganza overflowing with rivers of the dark, sticky stuff.

Kiosk contract winner downplays conflict of interest concerns Process from A1 Especially, she explained, because that part of the waterfront is rife with controversy. Sometimes, she said, tables have been moved into the walkway, and she’s heard “arguments with people at the tables.” Mayor Sharon Shepherd added that she too would have liked the city to have awarded the contract to a party that didn’t have a vested interest. Couns. Graeme James, Luke Stack, Robert Hobson, Angela Reid, and Kevin Craig, on the other hand, all spoke in favour of the process and the results. “It would be nice if another company came forward, but no one did,” said Craig. “Let’s respect the bidding process.” Hobson pointed out that it made perfect sense that a boat owner would throw in their hat, and that he was pleased the derelict Fintry Queen would be put to some use this year. As for the man at the centre of the controversy, JC Rathwell said he’s just happy to get to business and isn’t anticipating any further conflict, noting that he’s extended an olive branch to other boat owners. “The vessels at the commercial passenger ship wharf have all been approached by KelownaToDo.com’s concierge to become a member among many local attractions: water sports, parasailing, golf, wine tours, scooters, Harley rentals just to name a few,” he said. “KelownaToDo.com has had a very exciting, positive response from all attractions and local businesses in Kelowna. “Since we have opened the boutique we have had literally hundreds of locals walking by the kiosk

Can Canada Post afford a strike?

hen it comes to the looming Canada Postal workers strike, one question is likely to be asked a lot. Something like this, perhaps: “Who would notice?” But the same factors that make regular “snail” mail less relevant are also likely to make whatever action the postal workers’ union takes this week into a long one, perhaps rivalling the epic postal strikes of the 1970s and early ‘80s. The difference this time is

that the union is in a far less strong bargaining position. Courier services and e-mail have cut deeply into Canada Post’s core business—even having bills arrive by e-mail is no longer uncommon, and paying bills electronically is nearing universality—so a postal strike no longer has the possibility of bringing commerce to a standstill. That’s not to say that Canada Post is unnecessary. Social assistance cheques of various

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

kinds still arrive via mail and, except for hand delivery, the mail is the most effective way of getting original copies of documents across the country. But what a strike will do is encourage people to make even more use of direct deposit, electronic communications and courier services as a substitute, hastening the transformation of Canada Post into just another commercial courier service, moving farther away from their prime position of being Can-

ada’s official carrier. Far from avoiding wage rollbacks for new hires—one of the key issues in the dispute—the union stands the chance of decreasing the long-term need for new employees. And Canada Post can’t afford the lost business. We suggest both sides in this issue need to take a step back and consider how the public will react to a strike…and then sit down at the table like adults, and negotiation a needed compromise.

Tempest of controversy over whether Storm’s a he or a she

reeders within my circle of friends have been using their social media accounts to dish up surprisingly impassioned arguments about Canada’s genderless baby. Some of my usually news-averse loved ones surmised Toronto’s Kathy Witterick and David Stocke were lining up their offspring for a world of confusion and bullying. They’ve argued the parents’ decision to hide their progeny’s gender from the masses, even for a short time, is bound to cause the wee lad/lass too much pressure. Worse yet, turning their defenceless “it” into a sociological experiment is unusually cruel and mind-

bending. Others have countered that fending off gender-related expectations is the best way forward in a world that pigeonholes us before we can even walk. There have been some interesting threads to follow as both men and women hashed out a real life example of how gender defines our role in society, but the keystrokes came to an end. I just worried a dodgy pharmaceutical company dropped some rant-provoking substance into vats of folic acid.

It seems to me that

KATHARTIC this is much ado about

nothing, and the Toronto parents’ decision to keep the gender from friends, grandparents and others, is far from Kathy malicious. It’s just anMichaels other egg-headed attempt to do the right thing. Here’s a quote from the mother’s letter to the media, if you don’t believe me: “Ironically, the idea to keep the baby’s sex private was a tribute to authentically getting to know a person by responding to meaningful cues given by the person themselves.”

No judgements, but even that cue made my eyes gloss-over authentically in well meaning boredom. Their “tribute” can’t be any worse than some parents’ penchant for swaddling their babies in all-pink, all the time, even when it’s quite clearly not well suited to their skin tone. It’s not even as bad as half the things I see parents doing to their children in the line-ups at grocery stores. The only indication these parents are a problem, if you ask me, is their decision to name their child Storm. Now that’s a ghastly assault on good taste that highlights a certain dearth of character. Sure, they’re going for some sort

of genderless equality, but as their child discovers their natural leanings for dolls or dump trucks, couldn’t they do so with a respectable name? Plenty of tried and true names can be genderless. There’s that movie Victor/Victoria that even highlights the flexibility of gender and related monikers, but I digress. While these parents could quite clearly be accused of bad taste, thousands of children out there would be blessed to have parents that are so keyed into their needs. So, put that into your Twitter feed and smoke it. Kathy Michaels is a staff reporter. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Good to know what sustains politicians To the editor: Re: If Your Tweets Are Only About What You’re Eating, Please Stop, June 1 Capital News. Go figure that the print news media doesn’t really get what social media is all about. Social media gives us the opportunity to experience people through small updates about their life. It also gives the unique opportunity to engage each other in conversation. Local politicians like Kevin Craig and Mi-

chele Rule, and even Norm Letnick, have a long standing history of using social media tools to tell us what they are up to. When the election started, suddenly all candidates had Twitter accounts, targeting us 5,000 odd Twitter voters in the dark Okanagan. I am always able to get an answer from our local politicians when I ask a question. I only had some success with the Green Party and Liberal Candidates. Everybody else (like

the Capital News, btw) was just broadcasting statements. Oh, and none of the candidates is to be seen in my Twitter stream anymore. Let me know what @RonCannon has for breakfast. Maybe then I will understand what sustains him during a long day (reported through frequent status updates). Frithjof twitter.com/frith64

The lawyers who make new regulations to steal more of our money could care less about you or me. Just watch the show on W5 about Wes Kelly and his family and multiply that by thousands and you’ll get the picture.

In fact, the overwhelming majority of experts, covering all of the scientific fields involved, agree with David Suzuki. Of additional note, the above-cited organization

have jobs, but at what cost? No company invests $13 million without expecting to get a good return on that investment. Gambling is not illegal and if you can afford to gamble and have the will power to know when to stop, so much the better. But not all of the patrons of the casino are well off. Not all have the will power to stop gambling when they should. There is always that hope that they will win the ‘big one.’ The incongruity of the two items being so close to each other. In Kelowna we have homeless people, families forced to live separately so that they can sleep in safety. There is not enough affordable housing and more people than ever rely on the food bank to provide their families with necessary nutrition.

But we have a 30,000 sq ft casino. Fabulous. It is a sad state of affairs when we have to have food bank donation boxes in grocery stores, Christmas in July campaigns, donations to the food bank as the cost of entrance to events, etc., and yet we have an amoral amount of money being invested in a casino. I hope that many people go to events being put on by the food bank and The Okanagan Institute and take the opportunity to learn that hunger has many faces. But I also know that many others will be visiting the fabulous new casino—that’s their choice. Heather & Barry Yeats, Norma Taylor West Kelowna

NEWS ▼ HIGHWAY 97

Traffic median visual eyesore to be beautified Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Work aimed at making the strip that runs through Kelowna less of a visual blight should get underway by fall. In a report that went to council Monday, Andrew Gibbs, manager of park and public space projects, laid out the planning that’s gone into beautifying the medians that span Highway 97, and Mayor Sharon Shepherd couldn’t be happier. “Build it quickly—thank you,” she said, upon receiving the report. Shepherd, and numerous others, have lamented the ugliness that runs through the city for years, but it’s been acknowledged improving the aesthetic value wasn’t as simple as planting a few shrubs. “The Highway 97 corridor through the city is a vital transportation link that has been described by many as an eyesore, as a poor reflection of our community,” said Gibbs. “To improve this image the city has been gradually landscaping centre medians of this corridor to green it up.” That effort resulted in landscaped medians on Highway 97 for 6.5 kilometres between Abbott Street and Sexsmith Road.

What’s been left behind, however, was the distance between Burtch and Highway 33. For years the city has put off the work because of a lack of funds and logistical reasons. Landscaping, for example, would have been challenging in years past given there wasn’t a water source imbedded in the medians. That all changed, however, when the B.C. Ministry of Transportation came along with their highway widening project, and as work got underway the city installed a utility conduit to the medians and solved one of the biggest stumbling blocks, allowing planning to continue. “It is expected that detailed design and costing for the first phase of median construction will be complete in eight weeks and that, subject to ministry permit approvals and project pricing, construction will appear in the fall,” he said. The proposed first phase is in front of Orchard Park Mall, between Cooper and Dilworth and if the mayor gets her way it will extend even further. “I’m just so happy to see it,” Shepherd said, adding she’d like to get the foliage to extend to the airport. “Then we need the university and the province to help (pay).” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Norm Letnick (centre) and local Conservative MP Ron Cannan (left) in Rutland last Friday to officially celebrate the extension of Kelowna’s bike trail network by a further 11 kilometres. Last year, the city invested $14 million to expand various aspects of the city’s active transportation infrastructure. “Investing in the city’s pathway network infrastructure supports the city’s mandate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Shepherd. “Cycling, walking and rolling are becoming attractive options for residents who are looking to reducing carbon emissions and save money on escalating fuel costs.”

According to the station, Boston, the band, may be a staple in the rock music world, but with the rivalry between the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks in the final, Boston, the band, has been given the boot.

The anti-Boston sentiment has spread from Vancouver to Kelowna. Local radio station Power 104 has announced Boston has no place on its airwaves during the Stanley Cup final series while its staff and listeners cheer on the Vancouver Canucks.

Step 2: Parents of riders who receive conﬁrmation of seat assignment must make arrangements for the $225 Student Transportation Charge online, or at their local school prior to June 30th to guarantee a seat in September. (After June 30th, seats not conﬁrmed through arrangements made for the Student Transportation Charge are released and re-assigned to courtesy riders.)

NOTE: Early registration and payment of at least the 1st installment of the Student Transportation charge by June 30th will result in a discount of $25 per child.

Boston measures are also being taken by his Canuck-loving staff. “We also are not eating Boston Cream Pie or wearing any red socks,” he said. The red sox reference is to Boston’s successful baseball team, known as the Red Sox. “We’re boycotting Boston because we’re trying to put all our positive energy and vibes into supporting the Vancouver Canucks,” said morning show co-hosts Bob Mills and Jasmin Doobay. But fans of Boston’s music are being advised not to fear a long-term ban for their big-haired, 1970s

power-rock favourites. The station says Boston’s music will be welcomed back on air as soon as the Stanley Cup Final is settled. Though, it added, that will be after the cup is won by the Canucks. There’s no word on Boston’s on-air fate should the Canucks lose. Meanwhile, other local references to Boston have also been targeted, such as a move by Boston Pizza, a B.C. restaurant chain with several outlets here, which has temporarily changing its names, including its signs, to Vancouver Pizza.

HST debate: Seeing the forest for the trees

ou’ve been hearing a lot of information about the HST. The recently announced commitment to reduce the HST to 11 per cent in 2012 and 10 per cent in 2014 and address the impact on families are important steps. And while I believe the HST is good policy overall for B.C., as the

Minister of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations I have a unique perspective on several industries, including forestry. It’s not an exaggeration to say the HST is almost universally supported in the industry. Why? The short answer is, compared with the old GST/PST system, the

HST is more efficient and provides savings that allow these businesses to invest and create more jobs. According to Stacy Meadahl, controller for RJ Schunter Contracting Ltd., the savings are “significant.” Previously, logging equipment was exempt—but almost everything else was subjected to sales tax.

Steve Thomson Why was that harmful? Under the GST/ PST system, companies were paying significant amounts of sales taxes before they made a dime. Logging trucks and pickups were not considered “logging equipment,” and were thus subject to taxation. Those are significant but necessary expenses in forestry, which is increasingly competitive. If operating expenses are too high, B.C. wood products become unreasonably expensive on the international market. Not only is the international market vital for B.C.’s forestry industry —it’s crucial, says Brad

Thorlakson, president and CEO of Tolko Industries Ltd. “With the collapse of the U.S. housing market, B.C. forest companies know their future success depends on their ability to compete globally,” Thorlakson said. “B.C.’s move to a more efficient tax system has been a key advantage for our industry to be a prominent player in these markets.” The HST is also more efficient. Again, I will leave it to people whose livelihoods depend on the forestry industry to explain. For one thing, “it simplifies the bookwork,” notes Meadahl. Imagine you’re responsible for accounting in a forestry company. For your financial records, you have to separate exemptions, for example, for logging trucks and equipment—one of which was exempt from GST/PST, one of which wasn’t. “Mistakes were possible; you had to know what was exempted and what wasn’t,” says Meadahl. “Now, it’s just everything.” The old GST/PST system wasn’t impossible, or unworkable. But it was, See Thomson A17

MLA convinced that HST will ultimately lead to more job creation Thomson from A16 Meadahl. “Now, it’s just everything.” The old GST/PST system wasn’t impossible,

or unworkable. But it was, inarguably, more complicated and expensive. “This competitive advantage in B.C. has strengthened our ability to

retain jobs, keep buying and supplying goods, and contribute to the economy,” said Thorlakson. What does that mean for ordinary British Co-

lumbians? In a word, jobs. “The administrative and tax savings allow us to reinvest in the business to increase produc-

tivity and provide sustainable employment in our communities throughout B.C.,” said Thorlakson. “Originally I was unsure how the HST

would all work,” added Meadahl. “But once I realized it would work, I saw it would be better for us.” You have the oppor-

tunity to make a very important decision in the upcoming referendum—I hope you’ll make an informed, thoughtful decision.

No magic fabric for weeds

Friday, June 3, 2011 Capital News

GARDENING

ardening techniques have been virtually the same for centuries. Till the land, plant the seeds and nurture them until they get established and produce fruits and or beauty unencumbered by pesky weeds.

It all sounds so simple and for avid gardeners it really is. Remove the weeds before they take over and maintain a regular program to keep them under control. For non-gardeners, however, having to

weed in the garden is not deemed as a pleasurable activity. So when the weeds are finally addressed, they have become very established in the case of perennials and very seedy in the case of annuals. As the saying goes,

“one year seeding is seven years weeding,” owing to the fact seeds will collect in the soil and stay in what we call a seed bank then intermittently germinate over long periods of time. The gardener who spends a little time each

week can expect the chore to eventually ease up. If the garden is left unattended for long periods of time, the chore gets more and more challenging. A lot of time has been spent over the years thinking about ways to keep weeds at bay.

YARD WORK MADE EASY

The most recognized method is to use a weed barrier or landscape fabric. Today, there are several variations of landscape fabric. Some are so thin and flimsy that most weeds can work their way through. With landscape fabric, you generally get what you pay for as the higher end products are the woven ones. Look closely and you will see the strands of fibre woven just like linen or similar fabric.

But here’s the point. Do landscape fabrics, even the high end ones, do the job of preventing weeds from taking over your garden? To a degree they do but landscape fabric is not the panacea that it’s made out to be. Many consumers are finding this out. The better fabrics will keep deep rooted perennial weeds at bay for a while until they find their way through the planting holes or around the edges. If the weeds are not pulled or cut to the ground they will soon establish themselves in among the plants and eventually infiltrate the mulch on the surface. The weed barrier effect does not help with weed seeds that germinate in the mulch or rock that covers it. One of the worst scenarios is when weeds grow between rocks covering fabric. Pretty difficult to hoe or otherwise cultivate traditionally in rock, and picking and pulling weeds in this situation is a pain. Landscape fabric allows some time of no maintenance to pass by, but in the end it is a mess of fabric, rock and weeds. My belief is, in order to control weeds, we must return to our gardening roots and cultivate the soil between the plants with our favourite gardening tools. Yes it is called gardening, but remember it’s difficult to garden when dealing with landscape fabric covered in river rock.

STEADY HAND…

Crafters sought for Canada Day Festivals Kelowna invites local artisans to submit applications to participate in the annual Celebrate Canada Day—Kelowna festival slated for July 1 at Waterfront Park, as part of the outdoor marketplace. “The Kelowna Canada Day festival is very well attended with over half the city coming to the event,” said Renata Mills, executive director of Festivals Kelowna. “In the past three years, we’ve counted over 50,000 people through Waterfront Park over the course of the festival day starting at 10 a.m.,” said Mills. “This is a terrific opportunity for local artists to expose their products

to a huge number of people in one day for a low cost, not to mention tapping into a whole new market they might not otherwise reach.” The Canada Day Marketplace has been a regular and successful part of the Canada Day celebrations in Waterfront Park for over six years, providing local and regional artists with a fun environment to showcase their original, handcrafted products. Interested artisans can download the application package from www. festivalskelowna.com by following the links to the “Celebrate Canada Day-Kelowna” page. Applicants should note that all

products must be suitable for sale in a family-friendly environment. “We have room for about 30 artists, and we’re about 60 per cent full right now, so we want to be sure that local artists are aware of the opportunity before it’s too late,” Mills said “It’s a great way to spend Canada Day, people are always looking for a memento of their day, and it’s just plain fun. We hope artists will join us at this wonderful, familyfriendly event.” Additional information about criteria for eligible products is also available by contacting Festivals Kelowna at 250-868-3326 or 250868-3307.

Are you a Woman over 35? Need more energy? Want to look and feel better? Brad King, M.S., MFS

If you’re a woman over 35, you are probably already starting trogen-dominance, a condition in which healthy estrogens are pushed out of the way by unhealthy estrogens. As we age, we notice a decline in the overall hormonal messages that used to give us abundant health and energy, and we fall victim to ever-increasing hormonal imbalances. The end result is diminished youth, energy, vitality, muscular size and strength, and an ever-increasing waistline. This is why although we may weigh the same as in our teenage years, things certainly don’t look or feel the same. As we lose our lean metabolically active tissues (muscle), our metabolism declines and we accumulate more and more body fat. IF YOU: t Are concerned about harmful estrogens t Have excess abdominal fat t Have a hard time losing weight t Experience low energy t t Experience PMS and/or heavy periods t t Are taking birth control pills t Are concerned about breast health t

Hookers and the workplace may not be a good mix A

newspaper headline last week read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;German Company Rewards Employees With Hooker Party.â&#x20AC;? Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just me, but it seems pretty obvious

that prostitutes and the workplace arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be a good mix. Published reports explained that a German insurance firm held a staff party which saw salesmen

rewarded with the services of prostitutes. The company staged the â&#x20AC;&#x153;raucousâ&#x20AC;? event at Gellert Thermal Baths in Budapest, Hungary. That historic build-

ing was transformed into an â&#x20AC;&#x153;open air brothelâ&#x20AC;? and 20 or so prostitutes were hired. The party was held to reward the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful sales-

men and taking photos at the event was apparently strictly forbidden. Needless to say, these revelations generated some reaction. A spokesperson for the company stated that the organizers of the party have now left the company and that this was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not the usual way of rewarding their employeesâ&#x20AC;? (however, it was reported that many of the executives present at the party may still be working for the company). While this sort of thing is understandably rare, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily limited to far-away places like Hungary. In 2006, the Alberta Court of Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bench dealt with a case bearing some similarities to that situation. It involved RBC Dominion Securities and a vice president and investment advisor, Whitehouse. He was a highly ranked, and highly paid ($424,500 per year in commissions) employee with RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Calgary office. After having been out drinking one evening, Whitehouse brought a prostitute into RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices. He used his security pass to enter the building and to utilize the elevator to RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premises. She consumed cocaine in RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s washroom and the two then headed

Robert Smithson for Whitehouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. At some point, an argument broke out between them over payment. With no resolution to that dispute, Whitehouse departed, leaving the prostitute alone in RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lobby area. Having been left alone inside the premises, the woman would have had easy access to files and papers. Whitehouse subsequently returned to the building, but the prostitute had since departed. In the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words, Whitehouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late night indiscretion rapidly became a public spectacle the next day. The prostitute reappeared at RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices, revealed the events of the previous evening, and demanded payment. The whole, bizarre, scene quickly turned into an investigation. RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security system, both videotape and the data from the security pass reader, produced proof supporting the prostituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. Whitehouse initially denied any involvement but later made an admission after being confronted with incontrovertible security system evidence. It also came out in the investigation that Whitehouse had engaged in similar indiscretions in RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices on other occasions. RBC dismissed Whitehouse, summarily, for just cause reasons and he sued for wrongful dismissal. The court considered Whitehouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conduct, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;arrogance or

disdain for his employerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectationsâ&#x20AC;? of him as an employee. It stated he â&#x20AC;&#x153;exhibited a contempt for his employer, his co-workers, and their respective reputations in the business communityâ&#x20AC;? and concluded he showed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;serious lack of judgment.â&#x20AC;? The court focused to some degree on the fact that Whitehouse had left the prostitute, unaccompanied, in RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices with access to whatever client or corporate information was in the vicinity. This showed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;reckless disregard for his clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interests.â&#x20AC;? It was also significant that Whitehouse compounded the seriousness of his misconduct when he lied about it to his employer. All of this led the Court to determine that what his conduct portrayed was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lack of integrity, a deficient judgment, dishonesty, untrustworthiness and a careless disregard for client and corporate confidentiality.â&#x20AC;? The employer made out its defence of just cause for summary dismissal. This case serves as a reminder that, however unreachable the just cause standard may sometimes seem, courts will occasionally agree that egregious conduct (even just a single occurrence) warrants summary dismissal. And, if employee misconduct involves obtaining the services of a prostitute, the chances of that happening seem substantially greater (at least in Canada).

Your body needs good kinds of fat to survive

elieve it or not, fats are the good guys. There are good fats and bad fats. Fat is essential to life. 86 per cent of the developing brain of an infant is made of fat. How well that nervous system will grow will depend on exactly what type of fat you put in your diet. Simply put, your body needs fat to survive. Think about this for a moment: Every cell in your body, whether it is bone, skin, vessel, hormone, blood cell or intestinal is coated by two layers of fat. This is called a bilipid layer, bi-meaning two, lipid-meaning fat. The function of this layer is to regulate and protect the cell from would be attackers. Think of the fat layer as ‘call display’ and the attacker as the ‘in-laws.’ A properly functioning fat will allow only the friendlies in and keep the bad guests out. Having said that you can see how important good fats are in maintaining health and proper metabolism in your body and mind. When reviewing the bad oils, one realizes that there is no such thing as bad, just ghastly oils. For instance, any oil that’s hydrogenated is poison. The process of hydrogenating an oil changes its formation to a combination that is toxic to the liver. In essence, it changes the normal formation; a cis fatty acid to a trans

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel fatty acid. These fats are very harmful to your body and indeed can cause problems later in life. The bad guys are the trans fatty acids and hydrogenated fats. These are the ones to avoid. These fats are omnipresent in most refined and overly processed foods available today. Take a look in your pantry tonight and you will be surprised to see just how many things have hydrogenated oil in them. Trans fatty acids create havoc in the body causing disease, inflammation and an accelerated aging process as well. Almost all fast food is riddled with these nasty oils. As an aside, when cooking use grape seed oil. It is one of the few oils that are stable at high temperatures. That means it will not convert to TFAs at high temperatures. Many other oils such as flaxseed, olive, canola, safflo, mazola oil, will become trans fatty acids at high heat. As I said, you need fat to survive. The nofat diets of today create chaos in your body’s inner workings. Good fats can be found in ‘essential fatty acids’ like the omega 3, 6

and 9s. By the way, these are called ‘essential’ because they are essential or necessary for life. Animal fats in moderation are acceptable as well, as long as you are choosing lean cuts of meat. Fish oil is superb. I must stress that omega 3 is one of the most important oils out there and it is not readily available in the North American diet, so I suggest daily supplementation. These all-important fats cannot be manufactured or made by your body, hence the term ‘essential’ fatty acids. They are essential to life and you must put them in your diet daily. I like to suggest omega 3 essential fatty acids to my patients with chronic connective tissue disorders like fibromyalgia or a myofascial pain syndrome. These essential fatty acids are legendary in decreasing tissue inflammation, increasing brain function and immunity all the while staving off would be diseases. Fats do not choose you, you choose your fats. Success in life is attained solely by taking a role of leadership over yourself and your life. I am reminded of a quote by Kahil Gibran. He wrote this: “A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than knowledge that is idle.” Markus Thiel is a doctor of chiropractic practicing in Kelowna.

New Falcons set to lift off Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

At just 19 and a long way from home, Cody Dickson couldn’t be blamed if he was a little nervous about the prospects of spending his first summer in Canada. Quite the contrary insists the pitcher from Arlington, Texas who sees his first tour of duty with the West Coast League’s Kelowna Falcons as a tremendous opportunity for growth—both as a player and as a person. Besides, a summer playing ball in the Okanagan came highly recommended to Dickson from a former Falcon and fellow Texas product, Jordan Westra. “Jordan said it was just a blast playing here, and my coach recommended it too, so it was a pretty easy decision, I thought why not,” said Dickson, who plays for Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Texas. “It’s a fun trip. Meeting new people is going to be great, it’s a different experience being out of the

States, a long way from home growing up and playing baseball. I’m really looking forward to it.” Dickson will be in uniform when the Kelowna Falcons open their 2011 WCL season this weekend in Bellingham with a three-game series against the Bells. While the Falcons’ 33man roster is once again dominated by Americanborn talent, the club has never recruited more Canadian content. The Falcons will have seven Canucks on the 2011 team—including Kelowna product Graham Drope—while an eighth is on a 10-day tryout. Four of them are among the top players from the UBC Thunderbirds program, including 6-foot-3 left-handed pitcher David Otterman. “Collectively we kind of all made the decision together, the four of us signed the paper at the same time to come here to Kelowna, we all saw it as a good opportunity,” said Otterman, a native of Coquitlam and sophomore

with UBC. “For me personally, it just presents a really good opportunity to play against some of the best collegiate players in the world here and that was really appealing for me. “Another goal is to win, I want to win and that’s why you play this game. It’s early, but things look good here.” Falcons GM Mark Nonis said the new record high for Canadian talent on the roster is due to an ever-increasing talent pool. “Every year my strategy is to put a team on the field that’s going to win,” said Nonis, “but it just so happens the Canadian players are getting better every year, so I’m able to recruit more and more Canadians, and I want to promote local talent as much as possible. “The league is getting so big that schools are calling up from all over the place and it’s not hard to fills holes on your roster with good players, wherever they’re from.” The way the 2011 ros-

ter has been constructed, Nonis expects speed and pitching will be the team’s trademarks. “That’s what we’re based on. We’ve got a lot of great arms and guys are going to make the game move. There’s going to be a lot of hit-andruns, delayed steals, a lot of action, things like that. It should be an exciting team to watch.” After this weekend’s series with Bellingham, the Falcons will travel to Wenatchee for a threegame series beginning Tuesday, June 7. Kelowna’s home opener against Langley has been moved to Saturday, June 11 so as not to conflict with Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final. The home opener features free admission.

competitor he is, I know his expectations and I’m excited to work with him and try and make this go where he wants it to go.” As is the case every year for the club’s head coach, Cantwell’s biggest challenge just might be his ability to bring together a roster of players from all parts of North America and mold them into a cohesive unit. Also high on his list of priorities is ensuring the players have a positive experience in Kelowna and, last but not least, entertaining the fans and win-

ning games. “You come here and you want to do a good job obviously for the organization and put out a good product, fans want to see a winning team,” said Cantwell. “But also what these players are going to understand is that I’m here for them and they’re here for me. They’re going to be our resume when they go back home. We want them to go home and tell their friends and all the best players: ‘Hey this is where you want to be.’” “The winning is going to take care of itself,” he

added. “We’re going establish that identity of going hard every night.” Cantwell, who arrived in Kelowna this week, left his family behind in Louisiana to take on the new coaching job for the summer. But he will get a chance to see his wife and 2 1/2-year-old child as the two plan to come to the Okanagan for a threeweek visit in July. Cantwell will be assisted this season by pitching coach Lloyd Gage from Murray State College in Oklahoma.

Falcons coach preaches a more aggressive style Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

“Go hard and go fast.” In a few words, that’s how Al Cantwell sums up his coaching philosophy. It’s also the brand of baseball the 32-year-old head coach expects to see from the 2011 edition of the West Coast League’s Kelowna Falcons. “You want to speed the game up for the other team, make it difficult on them,” said Cantwell who, as a former player, had a penchant for stealing bases and causing havoc

for opposing pitchers. “Don’t leave the field leaving an extra step, air on the side of aggression, and when you go home, win or lose, you know you gave it your best fight. If you do that, you’re going to win more times than not.” Born in New Brunswick and raised in Calgary, this will be Cantwell’s second summer in the Okanagan. He was an outfielder with the Kelowna Grizzlies back in 1999. Cantwell also played at the Prairie Baseball Academy in Lethbridge

SPORTS PEACHLAND’S Evan Guthrie is healthy and back on the national mountain biking circuit after missing most of last season with a bout of mono.

▼ MOUNTAIN BIKING

Guthrie back on track Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A bout of mononucleosis deprived Evan Guthrie of the entire 2010 competitive mountain biking season. Now the 20-year-old former Canadian junior champion is making up for lost time. A fully recuperated Guthrie is in Barrie, Ont. this weekend for his third 2011 Canada Cup cross country race in as many weeks. On May 21, Guthrie turned in a ninth-place performance at a Canada Cup in Mont Tremblant, Que. Then last weekend, in extremely muddy conditions in Baie St. Paul, Que., the Peachland rider was fifth overall and second in the U23 division on the 34-km course. If not for an equipment problem, the result could have been much better. Guthrie was solidly

in second place after two laps when a flat tire put his race on hold. “Sometimes people panic when that happens, but I tried to keep it cool, changed the tire and got back in the race,” said Guthrie. “I slipped as far back as 12th, but managed to work my way back to fifth. “It felt like a big accomplishment. It was a really good ride, the best I’ve had in a long time.” The year-long bout with mono now behind him, Guthrie is in the process of working his way back to the kind of form that earned him two Canadian junior titles, two junior World Cups and a Canadian cycle-cross title. No longer eligible for juniors, Guthrie has stepped up to the elite category where the competition and experience level of the riders is superior. “In juniors it’s like you’re a big fish in a small

pond,” he said. “Now it’s like being a small fish in a big pond. Some riders don’t stick with it, it becomes too much for them. It takes a while to get where you want to go and I understand that. I’m going to keep my head fresh and be patient.” If all goes as planned, Guthrie will compete at a pair of World Cups next month in Quebec and New York, then at the Canadian championships July 20 in Canmore. He will also be looking to qualify for Canada’s team for the world championships in Switzerland in August. Whatever results are to follow, Guthrie is grateful to be back on the competitive circuit. “It was crappy when the (mono) happened, but there’s not much you can do,” he said. “It actually allowed me to do some other things for a year or so that I wouldn’t nor-

Jays 2 for 3 to start baseball season The Kelowna Jays kicked off their Pacific International League baseball season with two wins and three losses last weekend as the Jays played Trail and Kamloops to kick start their summer baseball campaign. The Jays went 2-and1 in Trail against the Orioles before dropping a double-header on Sunday in Kamloops against Thompson Rivers University. The weekend was the start of the Jays summer baseball season and a warm-up for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual ice breaker tournament this weekend. Kelowna got off to a huge start to the weekend in blasting Trail 19-2 on Friday night as every player in the lineup had at least one hit. Cody Valgardson and Jared Johnson each hit grand slam home runs in

the runaway victory. On Saturday Trail bounced back with a 7-1 win to open a double header before the Jays won the night-cap 7-5, coming back from a 5-1 deficit to earn the win. Mike Monster earned the win on the hill. On Sunday in Kamloops, the Jays got a stellar pitching performance from Cory Wood but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t muster any offense in a 3-1 loss to Thompson Rivers University. TRU took advantage of some wild Kelowna pithcing in the second game of the double-header to bounce the Jays 133. The Jays ice breaker this weekend will see Vernon, Trail, Kamloops and Langely come to Kelowna for games Friday rthough Sunday at Elks Stadium.

Roller derby regional tourney here Eight of the best women’s roller derby teams from across Western Canada will converge on Kelowna later this month for the Canadian Women’s Roller Derby Association’s inaugural Western regional tournament. Hosted by Okanagan Roller Derby, teams from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan will play bouts on Saturday, June 18 and Sunday, June 19 at Prospera Place and Sunplex Arena. The teams will battle

for Best of the West honours with the winner earning a meeting with the Eastern champs in the first ever Canadian National Roller Derby Tournament. Roller derby has seen a resurgence over the last 10 years and is now the fastest growing sport for women in the world. Modern day roller derby is played on a flat track and still has the hits and spills of derby from the 1970s and 1940s. Derby of today is more focused on the athleticism

of the sport and features less theatrics, but derby girls still all have unique names and personas that they bring to the track. Action starts both days at 10 a.m. with bouts at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m. on Saturday at both Prospera Place and Sunplex, and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday evening at Prospera. The semi-finals and finals will be taking place at 10 a.m and noon respectively on Sunday at Prospera Place. A Vendor Village featuring roller derby gear, t-

shirts and information will be open on Saturday and Sunday at Prospera Place. A variety of passes are available for the bouts—$50 for full weekend pass, $40 for Saturday only, $25 for Sunday only, and $15 for the Saturday night bout at Prospera Place. Tickets will be on sale in early June at selectyourtickets.com, at the Prospera Place box office and at the door on the days of the event. Kids under 10 are admitted free. Seating is general admission.

Rubadeau to coach at pair of world sailing events his expertise with Canadian sailors at two international events this summer.

▼ WOMEN’S SOCCER

Mark V takes Panthers down Mark V Autobody handed Peacock Sheridan Pink Panthers their first loss of the season in Kelowna Women’s Soccer League Premier Division action. Mark V scored three times in the first half on Wednesday en route to a 4-1 victory. Christi Capozzi scored the first goal on a nice finish off a pass by Lauren Harris who later scored a goal of her own. Milan Colluney and Sasha Roberts were also rewarded for their hustling performances with goals. Mandy Alexander was game MVP for Pink and brought PSG within two twith 20 minutes left. Beccs Wipfli had a

strong outing for Pink both in mid and on the backline. In other action, Delinah Erbenich scored a hat trick to lead Diablos past Royal Star. Kim McNally added a pair, while Wendy Jansen was steady in goal. Royal Star’s only goal was scored by Julie Mackenzie in the second half. The Blue Gator Stiyotes and RPM Automotive Extreme played to a 2-2 draw. Chelsey Forsberg scored with three minutes left for RPM to earn the tie. Kylie Milton had the other goal. Amy Lloyd scored both Stiyotes goals in the first half.

Rubadeau will travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in July for the Fifth Military World Games, then to Lanarkshire, Scotland in August with Team Kelowna for the 45th International Children’s Summer Games. The trip to Rio marks Rubadeau’s second appearance at a Military World Games as the coach for the Canadian Forces sailing team. He previously coached at the Military World Games in Mumbai, India

in 2007. Rubadeau acknowledges the challenges of coaching a team that is spread across Canada, and that will sail against some of the best professional sailors in the world. “The Canadian Military draws its athletes from the ranks of regular severing troops,” said Rubadeau. “This differs from many countries that ‘conscript’ athletes for the duration of major sport championships, or nations

whose sports programs are integrated into their military.” Rubadeau has also had to combat the loss of key athletes at critical times due to deployment issues. “We traveled to Florida to race at Key West Race week on J80s this winter. Weeks before departure we found out that our skipper was needed overseas. “That makes team development particularly difficult.” As a result of the many

unknowns associated with coaching a Canadian Forces team, Rubadeau has worked to develop some depth in the military sailing community. While the Brazil Games will have roughly 4,000 athletes from over 90 countries competing—a significant number of which will be Olympic athletes—Scotland’s 2011 International Children’s Games will be something else entirely. With approximately 1,400 athletes under

the age of 15, “The International Children’s Games are very similar to the BC Summer Games in size and scope,” Rubadeau said. Acting as head coach for the Kelowna delegation of 18 athletes and three other coaches, Rubadeau will also focus on the two-person sailing contingent from the Central Okanagan Sailing Association. Elizabeth Hardy will be sailing a Laser 4.7, while Thish Rajapakshe will be in an Optimist.

Simonetto has an icepack on his ankle in a clip on their web site, as their latest recording session took so much out of himâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a scene thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all that unique on the road either. In all honesty, surviving the gruelling pace a death metal band has to meet on tours does get

harder as one gets older, according to Rutan. Now 20 years into his career, the musician says he intersperses touring with producing music to give them all a break, and does the obvious to keep up with the emotional outputâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he stretches at the end of a set, eats a lot and tries not to drink, unless of course itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Europe and the wine is flowing or, pre-

hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and drawing out all of that negative emotion is still what keeps his music honest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we love it so much,â&#x20AC;? said the Hate Eternal founder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just nothing fake about it. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing forced. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a natural progression of music.â&#x20AC;? Initially, Rutan says his goal was to be a producer. He took audio engineering in New York and intended to throw his energies into building his own studioâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the music took off. Rutan made his mark with Ripping Corpse and Morbid Angel, but has done well with Hate Eternal, making plenty of time to produce albums for bands like Goatwhore, Through the Eyes of the Dead, and Six Feet Under, to name just a few. Now with five albums under their belt, Rutan says Hate Eternal does have difficulty balancing the new with the old to meet the fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations when they play a setâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hence the exhausting schedule. Their latest release, Phoenix Amongst The Ashes, was recorded in Rutanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio, Mana Recording Studio, in Florida.

X-Men prequel better than before

his is turning out to be a fantastic year for super hero movies. We have already seen a strong adaptation of Thor, and now we are treated to a prequel to XMen.

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis X-Men: First Class is set in the 1960s and reveals not only the beginnings of Professor X and Magneto, but also the secret history of famous global events. Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) are discovering their powers for the first time and the future enemies work together with other mutants to prevent nuclear Armageddon during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass, Stardust), it also stars Rose Byrne, January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence and Kevin Bacon. Although the marketing of the movie did not have me too excited for it,

ERIK “MAGNETO” LEHNSHERR (Michael Fassbender, left foreground) and

Charles “Professor X” Xavier (James McAvoy, right foreground) lead a team of young mutants in a battle to prevent a nuclear war in X-Men: First Class early reviews have been good to great, with Dark Horizons’ Garth Franklin calling it, “Not just the best film in the series, but the best adaptation of a Marvel comic title yet.” Other reviewers are calling it a not just good superhero movie, but a good movie, period. 20th Century Fox already has plans to make this the first in a new trilogy, which seems likely if audiences discover it like critics have. X-Men: First Class is rated PG with a warning of violence.

Since X-Men is the only new wide release in this season of big budget blockbusters, I wanted to write about a little sci-fi movie I happened upon called Monsters. Its synopsis had me intrigued. It’s set after a NASA deep space probe crash lands in Mexico and spreads life forms throughout northern Mexico, leading to the quarantine of the area. While the U.S. and Mexican militaries battle to contain the creatures, a jaded American journalist must find his boss’ daughter and es-

cort her through the quarantine zone and to the safety of the US border. While it reminded me of a number of sci-fi classics from H.G.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ FOOD AND WINE

Even foodies need tasty, healthy fast food from time to time

urger fans will be thrilled to hear the news that Carl’s Jr. has opened in downtown Kelowna. Located on the corner of Harvey Avenue and Bertram Street, this is the first of its kind to open in Canada. Let’s face it, foodies need a fast food fix sometimes too and what is different about this fast food restaurant is that they offer some healthier meal options than other chains. Options include a low carb burger that uses lettuce as the wrap instead of a bun. The new charbroiled turkey burger rings in at 490 calories. There is also a grilled chicken salad on the menu that is very low cal. Vegetarians can opt for a portobello mushroom burger, fish and chips or fried zucchini.

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell All of the chicken they use is fresh and handbreaded for the chicken tenders, wraps and burgers. Huge in the U.S. and internationally, Carl’s Jr. has been around for over 60 years with more than 1,000 restaurants. Open breakfast to late night, they have a drive through window as well.

Young filmmakers shine Davis from A33 weeks. Many of the filming locations were used without prior permission and the extras were just people who happened to be there at the time. Many scenes featuring non-actors were improvised and resulted in 100 hours of ad-libbed footage which was edited into a coherent film. Most incredibly, the special effects were created with off-the-shelf computer software in the director’s bedroom. While I wouldn’t give the film a four star review, it is an incredible achieve-

ment and has received positive notices from critics like Roger Ebert to filmmakers like Kevin Smith. Most importantly, it shows what young filmmakers can do with modern technology which gives both future Spielbergs and movie buffs like me hope for the future of the movie industry. If you do watch Monsters and do not like the ending, I dare you to watch it again as you will understand it better. Rick Davis is the manager of the Capitol Theatre in West Kelowna.

Attention Pool Owners

Did you know that improper discharge could result in a ﬁne of up to $2,000? The City’s Sanitary Sewer/Storm Drain Regulation Bylaw restricts the discharge of swimming pool or hot tub water that contains disinfectants such as Chlorine or Bromine. You may drain your pool to a dry area on your own lot over a long period of time. However, if you intend to drain your pool into the storm drain or sanitary sewer, there is a procedure you must follow: 1. Dechlorinate the water in your pool. Products are available at local retail outlets for this purpose. 2. Contact the City of Kelowna Water Quality Staﬀ. They may wish to check the chlorine levels in the water and approve discharge to the storm drain or sanitary sewer. INFO: 250 469-8896

BMW X1 a good buy for value, utility Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

BESIDES being the smallest CUV BMW makes, the 2012 X1 is also the more fuel frugal vehicle BMW sells in Canada. It has a starting price of $38,500.

Over the years I’ve heard BMWs touted as “the ultimate driving machine,” the “blending of luxury and technology,” but never as being “strong value”. But this is how Manfred Braunl, BMW Canada president and CEO, described the 2012 BMW X1 xDrive281 compact CUV that is going to duke it out with the likes of the Acura RDX, VW Tiguan and Infiniti EX. And while the X1 is all BMW in its drive and systems technologies, Braunl pointed out the X1 is the most fuel efficient vehicle BMW offered in Canada in addition to being the most affordable X-model available with a

starting price of $38,500. That includes a very long list of standard features not to mention the cachet of having the BMW badge on the hood. Pricing on the X1 is purposefully aggressive. The X1 is seen as a “conquest” vehicle, i.e., one designed to make owners switch brands across the spectrum. Underlining the point is that the X1 is offered only in Canada not the United States. It’s based on the 1 Series sedan, currently the smallest BMW you can buy. Smallest or not, it is way larger than the 3 Series Bimmers I owned in the early 1980s. The X1 takes size even further especialSee BMW B2

With the 40/20/40 split/fold back seats up, there is 420 litres of space which mushrooms to 1,350 litres with the seat flat with a 410 kg payload rating not counting a further 75 kg you can lash to the roof. BMW’s mantra is leading in any technology that is available to the auto industry and, of course, that begins with the engines. The 2012 X1 is powered by a four-cylinder, the first time since the 318 “Compact” back in 1993. A few of us may remember that the 1.8-litre engine of the production cars was so stout, the block was used in 1.5-litre form during the “turbo years” of Formula One producing 1,100 hp. The engine in the X1 is leading edge in every way. With variable valve timing, direct gasoline injection and twin scroll turbochargers, the 2.0-litre unit puts out 241 hp and

MOTORING BMW from B2 258 lb/ft of torque. That’s the same kind of power and grunt of a big V6. It’s quick too with a 0-100 km/h time of 6.5 seconds. And the same time fuel consumption (premium) is rated at 9.2/6.4/8.0L/100 km city/ highway/combined. But I also equate turbos, not to mention those with all-wheel-drive, as being fuel thirsty which is not the case here. Another reason for the lower consumption especially on the highway is an eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s the first time I believe such a unit is available on a less than premium luxury vehicle, let alone one priced under $40,000. You can bet we are going to see a lot more of this engine/transmission combination in the future. The way the two work together feels like a turbine with a CVT. Shifts are imperceptible at city speeds. At highway kspeeds it is the same thing until you stomp the gas to pass. There is no sensation of going down a gear or two. Only when shifting up under full throttle is there just the slightest nudge. Ride and handling is what you expect from a BMW. The steering wheel relays a feeling of suspension tautness. Steering inputs are executed immedi-

ately with no rebound or deadness on centre which was a failing of many early all-wheel-drive systems. The AWD in the X1 is BMW’s own infinitely variable xDrive permanent all-wheel-drive system. Integrated with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and engine management systems, BMW’s xDrive system can distribute up to 100 per cent of the engine’s power to the front or rear axles. The DSC system also includes integral ABS, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Brake Drying, Fade Compensation and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC). In addition to the above, the X1 has hill descent control and a tire pressure monitoring system which you will be glad to have, as the X1 is equipped with run-flat tires. Climbing into the driver’s seat is like old home week to anyone who has ever owned a BMW. BMW calls the layout “driver oriented” but it is really about being simple in design retaining the same controls and gauges in the same places for some 40 years. I could close my eyes and reach out and find the wiper and turn signal stalks in the same place as my old 1974 530i. But don’t get the idea

CONTRIBUTED

ANYONE who has driven a BMW will feel right at home behind the wheel with the main gauges and controls in the same places they have been for decades. from that the X1 is somehow antiquated. To quote: “If it ain’t broke…” Actually the interior positively bristles with new technology one of which is a $300 option called BMW Apps. It is an interface for the Apple iPhone that allows web radio, Twitter and Facebook updates, an iPod out and, get this, will play videos when the X1 is in Park. Another thing was the dreaded iDrive and option on the X1. This, along with the Mercedes COMAND, was one of the drive nudge/twist/punch rotary controllers that could toggle through audio, information, climate control, navigation and the beat goes on. I could never get it to work and the manual on how to operate it was al-

most as thick as the Bible. BMW heard and has spent a lot of time, not so much dumbing it down, but making it more intuitive. Heading to the lunch

stop during the ride-anddrive, I took a more scenic route. To get the restaurant, my driving partner simply punched in the address and, bingo, the kindly digital female voice

“Oh, you’ll be fine,” Kim told me over the phone. Kim is the keeper of the keys at Honda, the motorcycle maven, and She Who Must Be Obeyed when writers are requesting a road test. I had called asking for something lightweight, something amenable to ride. Something in the order of, say, a not-too-challenging 750cc cruiser, the kind of bike I usually wrangle for my first ride of the season. “You should take the CBR250R,” she decided abruptly. I didn’t answer right away. A 250cc bike? She noticed how quiet it was on my end of the phone. “Other guys your size have ridden it and liked it,” she piped up. “You’ll be fine.” My size? Like most women, Kim doesn’t have a lot of time for the fragile sensitivities of male machismo. But at six-foot-three and two hundred-whatever pounds, can you blame me for the uneasy mental picture of “bear in the circus” syndrome? The oversized guy perched on the undersized bike? “OK,” I agreed begrudgingly. Actually, it didn’t take much convincing because I knew that in building this new motorcycle, Honda had used the kind of deceptive design that goes a long way to make a small bike look like a big bike. The wheelbase length of the CBR250R is as long as that of the 600cc sport bike. The ergonomic triangle of rider’s reach from seat to handlebars to footpegs is not that small. The engine does not look puny. And the sleek layered fairing that wraps the bike most handsomely in the red and silver colour combo, is a trickle down tribute to the glossy VFR1200 that debuted to rave reviews last year. The CBR250R is a class act, cleverly camouflaged to look like something bigger, something built with enough road presence to earn respect. It is beautifully styled, screwed together with a handful of new design and engineering patents and with Honda’s usual attention to detail and is, as their promotional bumpf puts it, “far removed from the sort of cut-corners, parts-bin specials usually found in the segment.”

The test bike I picked up was black. As handsome as the red model is, when it’s time to plonk down cash, most riders will probably elect for the safer re-sale odds of basic black. And, um, any laughable size discrepancies might be muted by the subdued black-on-black blend of rider and bike. I finally put my fears to rest by doing the rolling vanity check, you know, riding slowly past one of those glass-fronted office buildings while looking over your reflection. Hmm, not too bad. A cold 60-kilometer freeway trek home would be the first acid test of the 250cc engine. The bike accelerates well, snicking nicely through its sixspeeds with just a light touch on the clutch and shifter. There’s not enough power to get you into trouble, but enough to keep you out of trouble, if you know what I mean. The engine runs at around 6000 rpm at 100 km/h and 7000 rpm at 120 km/h with enough reserve oomph under the 10,500 rpm redline to allow for dealing with the cut and thrust of highway dueling. There’s some of the usual wind jostling of a lightweight, but not much worse than on a bigger 600 cc bike. On a later sunny Saturday, I headed out for a longer ride, passing early-rising and rusty golfers on the range who seemed to be slicing a lot of shots wide after the long winter. I resolved to not shank the bike sideways either, since I was a little rusty myself. And to maybe limit those stupid little mistakes you make early in the season. This is where the benign power of the small displacement engine comes in handy, knowing you can peg the throttle to the stop without finding yourself split-arsed and surprised on the asphalt watching your bike carve a furrow through a corn field. The single-cylinder

DOHC engine is happiest above 5,000 rpm and it honks forth with a nice low moan, none of that small engine “ring-a-dingding”. In judging the power output, I kept in mind that I’m probably one and a half times the weight of the average young rider in this segment. And, even under that load, I managed a 3.5L/100km fuel econo average despite playfully aggressive riding. The closest competitor to the CBR250R would be Kawasaki’s Ninja 250 R with a carbureted parallel twin engine, a larger fuel tank, with no ABS offered, and, on the whole, with a less sophisticated package, but one that’s in the same style segment and price range. Following up on the smaller CBR125R which was itself revised with bigger bike presence this year, the new 2011 CBR250R is the second punch in the one-two combination designed to blend riding economy with a new benchmark of entry level quality, a combination to answer Honda’s hopes of luring a new generation of riders. Take a check ride on the CBR250R. And remind yourself how easy it is to love a lightweight.

Denali. It sounds like an Italian fashion house but it fisn’t. r Denali is the First Nations name for the highest mountain in North American and means “the high one”. Also known as Mount McKinley, there is, however, a fashion tie-in. GMC division reserves the name for its rhighest trim levels. If it’s a Denali, it’s the “pinnacle” of a particular model. Until now, Denali was only applied to GMC ttrucks. But for the first time, it has been used on a CUV, the Acadia. When GM got out of the minivan business, it turned to full-size crossover CUVs as their solution to a seven- or eightpassenger vehicle for those who didn’t want something big and thirsty flike a Chevy Suburban or a GMC Yukon. The first of these was the 2006 Saturn Outlook (now discontinued) followed by the Acadia, the Chev Traverse and the fBuick Enclave. So far there is no Cadillac version and that’s sort of where the Acadia Denali fits in. It’s loaded standard with everything in the GMC parts bin including a few not even offered on the lower trim models such as 20-inch, two-tone alloy wheels and the signature honeycomb grille. With a length of just over five metres (5,098 mm) it also has a wheelbase of 3,020 mm (118.9 in) so you can see most of the truck is dedicated to people and cargo. The Denali just happened to come along as my daughter was moving out of her university apartment and heading off to /the real world of work. She said she didn’t have much stuff, but I had a hunch that her idea of not much meant a lot. After all, this is the girl who has so many half empty bottles of shampoo they take every inch of space on the bathroom vanity. I’ll save you the suspense. In addition to some 11 carryalls/back packs of clothes and “stuff,” there was double bed and mattress, some bar stools and even a ratty old couch. Except for the mattress, the furniture went out to the curb where, amazingly, it was gone a

Wind tunnel time helps mileage GMC from B5 back drops forward and the headrest tucks down to present a flat surface. With both rows folded there is 3,282 litres (115.9 cu ft) of cargo space. With the relatively low lift over the power rear gate, my wife and daughter tugged and heaved and got the mattress in. You always wonder when you buy a vehicle this size if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever have to use the space. Well, the one time it does pay off, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money well spent. Of course, this move came at the same time as gasoline prices hit historic highs. Ergo I was glad I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rent a V8 moving van.

GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competent sixspeed automatic transmission. Thanks to direct fuel injection the fuel rating is 13.1/8.4L/100 km (22/32 mpg) city/highway. Also to help fuel consumption is the low (for a vehicle this size) drag coefficient of .344. This was partially achieved after some 5,000 hours in a wind tunnel where special attention was paid to tightening gaps between body panels. In the real world, I got an average of about 12.4L/100 km thanks mostly to running on cruise control whenever possible. And with an 83-litre tank, filling up can be a pricy affair.

THE 2011 GMC Acadia Denali is named after the highest mountain in North America and offers what GMC calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pinnacleâ&#x20AC;? of comfort and utility. This is the first GMC CUV to get the Denali trim level. Except for the actual moving part, the trip was a lot of fun including the drive both ways. With standard allwheel-drive, the Acadia Denali showed great poise even when running down a rutted, muddy water clogged dirt road that leads to a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm. Beside traction control and ABS, the Denali has GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s StabiliTrak system with enhanced rollover mitigation. Inside, the genuine mahogany wood inserts were a nice touch as were the heated and cooled leather front seats and twin panoramic sunroof. But I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say the same for the Denaliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irksome HUD (heads up display). It projects informa-

tion like speed, revs and gear selection on the inside of the windshield in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line of sight. With blue-coloured numbers changing all the time, I found it distracting and turned it off. One of the very few options available is an infotainment system that includes Bose surround sound and a touch screen DVD navigation system tied into an eightinch overhead monitor for those in the back seat. At $5,065 it competes with the OnStar system that comes with every GM vehicle. In my experience, the turn-by-turn OnStar system works wonderfully well but it costs extra and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show the streets or point of interests

THE INTERIOR of the 2011 Acadia Denali has perforated, heated and cooled front seats and mahogany trim.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tire round-up! Time to gather up and recycle the old tires that have been lurking in your garage and yard

as a navi system shows. And what about cost? The Denali outfitted Acadia starts at $57,840. Add in the navi system, air tax and $1,450 shipping fee and the price as tested was an even $65,000. If that sounds like a lot, the base Acadia starts at $39,090 and you get the same engine and transmission plus all the safety aids like StabiliTrak. After that, there are enough trim levels and options to satisfy everyone. However, for those would do want seven-passenger seating with firstclass amenities, the 2011 GMC Acadia Denali fills the bill.

We would like to say a special thank you to the wonderful staff at Brandt’s Creek Mews, and to Dr. Warrender, for their loving and professional care of our mom. Joyce was a remarkable lady who will be forever remembered for her deep kindness and caring, her grace and inner strength, her wisdom, and most of all for her love of life and the people around her - she will be dearly missed. At Joyce’s request, there will be an open house tea in memory of her, held at her home on Sunday June 26th, from 1 – 4 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Joyce’s name to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association, #104 – 145 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6

NEALE, JOE Passed away tragically on Sunday, May 29, 2011 at the age of 22. Survived by his mom Jane Neale of Kelowna, dad Rick Neale (Carolyn) of Brighton, ON, brother Steve Neale (Chelan) of Kelowna, Joe’s girlfriend Beata of Kelowna, grandma Lois Carbonneau. Sadly predeceased by Uncle Doug Carbonneau. Survived by Aunt Shirley and cousin Kevin, Uncle Bob & Aunt Theresa Carbonneau, cousins Fran, Nicki & Eme, Uncle Bill & Aunt Cec Carbonneau, cousins Marissa & Andrew, Aunt Jill & Uncle Len Verhelst, cousins Mike, Allison & Jennifer, Aunt Liseanne & Uncle Rick Doiron, cousin Matt, Uncle David Neale (Charlene), cousins Angie & Amie, Uncle Peter, Aunt Sue, cousins Kyle, Devon & Eileen, Aunt Trish Martin (Bob), cousins Jessie, Heather & Josh, Uncle Ralph Neale & Aunt Diana, cousins Ryan, Brook, Katie & Faith and countless friends. Joe was a best friend to anyone in need. His sense of humour and infectious smile only hinted at his huge heart. He was a fiercely loyal man who would forgive instantly. Joe loved working outside every day with his best friends; his passion for hockey and the Maple Leafs was unwavering as was his love for everyone and everything around him. Joe’s love of life will be his legacy in all of us and he will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. “Be Kind.” A Funeral Service will be held on Sunday, June 5, 2011 at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road with a viewing prior to the service at 9:00 am.
