Summer is finally bringing on the heat
District against land swap
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Is summer finally here? After a sunny and hot B.C. Day long weekend and more of the same through the first few days of this week, Mother Nature appears to be finally smiling on those looking to soak up a few rays in the Central Okanagan. According to Environment Canada, the longrange weather forecast calls for nothing but sunshine here through the next few weeks with temperatures in the 30 C range next week and dropping only slightly to the mid20 C range the following week. And that has local beach bums and visitors alike flocking to the lake shore to enjoy this area’s traditional top draw—the beaches. But while July may have felt cooler and cloudier than normal to many, according to Environment Canada’s David Jones, the temperature in July here was not that far off historical norms. While the weather office no longer records hours of sunshine, he said there were six days when the thermometer registered 30 C or higher in
July. But that was down from the average of 11, 30 C-plus days in the month of July. Despite that, he said, the temperature readings were generally not that far off the norms for July. “It may have felt like summer was not really there but the numbers don’t show it,� said Jones. As for August, he said it is shaping up to be more of a typical Okanagan summer month, with the only “blip� on the radar screen being a possible shower Friday night. “After that, it is looking pretty good,� said Jones. The welcome return to consistently hot weather comes as a welcome relief to those who promote Kelowna as a visitor destination. While the depth of the destination has deepened with activities such as shopping, cultural activities, wineries and cooler-weather activities like golf now popular, Kelowna Tourism’s Catherine Frechette said the return to consecutive days of sunshine is a welcome relief. She said many visitors are “last-minute� travelers who may be looking at the weather to decide when to See Heat A4

Big horn sheep hanging out along the higher cliffs overlooking Westside Road are a common sight for motorists during the summer.
The District of West Kelowna is objecting to a proposed land exchange between Westbank First Nation and the provincial government. The proposed exchange would see WFN gain a 698-acre plot of Crown land in exchange for eight acres of reserve land, which are being used for the development of the Westside Road interchange. Mayor Doug Findlater said the deal goes against the interests of taxpayers in the District of West Kelowna and the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “Council is especially concerned because the provincial government refuses to provide the District of West Kelowna with a copy of the agreement it has signed with the Westbank First Nation, despite numerous requests for the document,� said Findlater. Findlater also noted the province has yet to provide the district with any of the land appraisals regarding the land exSee Land A4

W HST BALLOTS
Meat protest touts the vegan and tofu lifestyle
Late Kelowna voters will face obstacle
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Usually people complain when they’re looked at like a piece of meat, but participants of a travelling PETA protest encouraged ogling during their Kelowna stop. “If (passersby) see me like a piece of bloody meat maybe they’ll realize that the animals they eat are, like myself, living, breathing creatures that have feelings and can love,” said David Matthews, who was lying on the sidewalk Tuesday afternoon, wrapped up in cellophane, doused in blood-red raspberry sauce and tagged like a steak. He and PETA cohort Emily Lavender aren’t just revelling in the macabre—tales of castrations, live disembowelment and beak or teeth removal, were among the details they delivered to curious onlookers—with their “meat is murder” tour. Outside steakhouses, butcher shops and abattoirs, they are also spread-
ing vegan tidings. “It’s easier than ever before to be a vegan,” said Lavender, outside a steakhouse on Abbott Street, across from City Park. “Basically, you can eat whatever you want to, just substitute in soy products and it’s healthier.” Lavender would know, being as she only recently converted to veganism after watching a Paul McCartney documentary that laid out age-old practices in factory slaughterhouses. “As soon as I saw the video footage, I knew I didn’t want to be part of a violent industry,” she said of her conversion. While it worked for her, it didn’t seem to be an easy sell to everyone who passed by their display. “I love hamburgers,” yelled the occupants of a truck that zoomed by the small group. Another woman came by to point out the benefits of cow’s milk. Others just smiled, snapped pictures and took the vegan guide Lavender was handing out.

STAGING THEIR own version of macabre street theatre Wednesday on Abbott Street were supporters of the “meat is murder” campaign with PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals). Overall, however, the four local women who augmented the protest by holding up PETA signs said the response was
largely positive. “They’ll go home with this in mind,” said Kylee Fournier. “It’s planting a seed,”
added Raeanna Sam. For more information on PETA and its causes, check out the website www.peta.org.
When it comes to late HST ballots, the early bird not only gets the worm, he/she might also save a bit of gas money. Ballot packages must be received by Elections BC, a Service BC Centre or an Elections BC Collection Centre before 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 5. For many, the postage-paid yellow return envelope ensured that their vote will get counted at no extra personal cost to them. However, those who have delayed mailing their ballot may need to pack up the car. The Elections BC office is located in Victoria and all of the Elections BC Collection Centres are located in the Lower Mainland. Service BC Centres are also authorized to accept HST Referendum Ballot Packages. There are centres located in 60 communities throughout the province, but there is no centre in either Kelowna or West Kelowna, despite the fact that Kelowna is the ninth largest population in B.C. (fifth when combined with West Kelowna). Don Main, communications planning officer with Elections BC, said that Elections BC doesn’t have anything to do with the placement of the Service BC Centres, but Elections BC Collection Centres were placed in more populated areas. “There are no Service BC Centres west of Maple Ridge in the Lower Mainland. We placed five (Elections BC Collection Centres) in the most populous areas of the province to be able to allow for that,” said Main. Residents of Kelowna and West Kelowna will have to drive to either Vernon’s or Penticton’s Service BC Centre, before 4:30 p.m. on Friday in order to have their ballot counted.
W CONDO FIRE
Burned out residents to soon start collecting belongings Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
There’s no telling when or if it will be safe for residents of a burnt-out Lower Mission condo building to return to their homes, but some are finally getting a chance to collect what remains of their personal items. “We’re putting together a content pick-up schedule that will start allowing people into the building,” said Leah
Kirkham, the Stutters Disaster Cleanup representative, noting access to the Lequime Road condos will be granted in the next couple days. “(Residents) will be scheduled to go in floor by floor, section by section over the next few days.” Stutters was the restoration company on call when the fire broke out Saturday night. When firefighters finished putting out hotspots at the fire that burnt out the top floor, Kirkham said Stutters
took over and were tasked with securing the building and drying it out. “There were 400,000 litters of water that went through there,” she said, explaining that it’s not just smoke and fire damage that will be contended with in the days ahead. Meantime, residents of the 50 units on Lequime Road who were displaced by the fire left the care of Emergency Social Services Wednesday morning, and the Red Cross is now
working on recovery assistance. “We’re hoping to meet with some of the residents this week,” said John Richey, regional operations manager for the Southern Interior branch of the Red Cross. “We did the same thing with the Laurentian apartment fire, and we’ll help make sure that people who are extra vulnerable can make the transition.” In this case, more residents
than not had insurance or resources in the community to help them ride out the disaster, but a few are still in trouble, having no insurance on their belongings. “We’re accepting financial donations, because that’s the starting point,” said Richey. “Our assistance is done by providing basic needs, like vouchers for things like food, clothing, tools of the trade so people can get back to work and there are school needs
coming up.” Even items like prescription glasses and ID will have to be replaced, while some still require temporary shelter. Anyone who is interested in making a donation can call 250-763-1859 for more information, or go to the local Red Cross office on Hunter Court. Cheques should be addressed to The Canadian Red Cross, and marked B.C. Response Fund—Lequime Apartment Fire.

not acceptable,” said Findlater. Westbank First Nation stated both they and the B.C. Ministry of Transportation have been working closely to come to a resolution that satisfies the contractual obligation of the provincial government regarding the land exchange. “Westbank First Nation recognized and accommodated the needs of the greater community when providing the land used for the Highway 97 corridor, and acted in good faith with the province regarding the conditions for use of WFN lands,” said a WFN news release. “WFN is committed, like any local government, to managing their resources responsibly. “WFN places a high value on the environment and the protection of watersheds, and is committed to working with neighboring governments within established proto-
cols,” it reads. The Regional District of Central Okanagan, however, has confirmed it is against the exchange. “The regional board is unanimous in opposition to a Crown land application that has been discussed in camera over the past two years,” the RDCO stated in a press release. “The board resolution does not support a proposed application from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure relating to a portion of Rose Valley Regional Park and the adjacent Rose Valley reservoir watershed.” The regional board said it is concerned that, if the land exchange occurs, a precedent will be set where the ministry can impact other legal tenure agreements with other local governments or agencies in other areas of the province. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

ASSISTANT EDITOR
A B.C. Supreme Court judge in Vancouver has agreed to hear a case challenging Canada’s ban on doctor-assisted suicide earlier than originally scheduled because the condition of one of the plaintiffs, a West Kelowna woman who suffers from ALS, is deteriorating. Gloria Taylor, who joined the B.C. Civil Liberties Association lawsuit as a plaintiff last month, told the Capital News in June that her illness, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is slowly taking her ability to chew, speak, swallow and breath. “I’m dying piece by piece and I’m asking the
court to let me die with dignity,” said Taylor. Earlier this week, her lawyer Joe Arvay asked the judge presiding over the case to set a court date in November because of Taylor’s deteriorating condition. On Wednesday, Justice Lynne Smith agreed saying she was satisfied the urgency is warranted. Federal lawyers had argued that because of the complexity of the issues before the court, November is too soon to hear the case. The four-week trial is now scheduled to start Nov. 15. Taylor wants to end her life with the help of a doctor and said she feels strongly that terminallyill Canadians should have that right.
In Canada, it is currently illegal to counsel, aid or help a person to commit suicide. Anyone convicted of such an offence could face a jail term of up to 14 years. But Taylor has said it is cruel and inhumane to force her to face what she described as a “painful and prolonged death.” There is currently no cure for ALS, an illness that gradually kills motor neurons in the body that control muscles. That leads to the failure of the systems that control the body leading, eventually, to paralysis and death. Last month Taylor said she expected the court fight would be dragged out by the federal government but hoped it could be speeded up to allow her
to end her life on her own terms. She said if the challenge to the existing rules was not successful and she was still alive, she has a “plan B.” But she declined to say what that plan is. In 2002, another terminally ill Kelowna woman went to Switzerland for an assisted suicide. It is legal in that country, as well as in the Netherlands, Belgium and the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington and Montana. The Kelowna woman’s daughter is believed to be part of a second, similar lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the assisted suicide ban. That case was launched Monday by a group calling itself the Farewell Foundation.
Albertan motorcyclist dies in West Kelowna crash A 26-year-old male from Alberta died in Kelowna General Hospital after a fatal crash on Monday evening. West Kelowna RCMP arrived at the scene around 7:15 p.m. on Monday evening and determined that the man was traveling south on a Suzuki street
bike up Gellatly Road when it struck the passenger side of a Chevrolet Malibu driving down Gellatly Road, turning left onto Glen Canyon Drive. The speed limit along that stretch of road is 50 km/h; however, Sgt. Ann Morrison of the Kelowna RCMP said that the bike
was driving at a high rate of speed. The 59-year-old driver of the Chevrolet Malibu is from West Kelowna and was uninjured. According to ICBC’s 2007 traffic collision statistics (the most recent statistics released by ICBC), there were 47 fatal motor-
cycle collisions in BC in 2007. From 2000 to 2007, there was a total of 286 motorcycle-related deaths on BC roads. ICBC’s statistics also suggested that one in 10 traffic deaths in B.C. involve those on motorcycles.
IHA issue sun warning for kids Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
With the belated arrival of hot summer weather comes the annual warning about the dangers too much exposure to the sun can cause, especially for children. The Interior Health Authority says because kids spend so much time outdoors during the sum-
mer months, it is important that, no matter what their age, that they be protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Parents are being urged to teach their children to be sun smart and to protect their children, and themselves, by taking steps to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer later in life from to much sun now.

Parents are advised to apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF rating of 15 to their children’s skin at least 20 minutes before they go outside. If the children are playing in water, it is important that the sunscreen be waterproof. Also, reapply often. And the advice is not just for kids. Adults need to be sun smart too.
Children, especially young children, should be dressed in protective clothing and a hat when playing outside. Babies should be kept out of direct sunlight. And because the sun’s rays are strongest between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., it is wise to keep kids out of the sun during those hours, says the health authority.
Consistent hot weather helpful for tourism Heat from A1 come here. For folks like that, a return to consistently hot, sunny weather is a draw Kelowna Tourism is happy to have. Frechette said despite the feeling about how unseasonable the weather was in July, accommodation numbers show it was still a busy month. “The numbers at our visitor centre were also pretty good,” she said. While the rest of Can-
ada basked in virtual heatwave like conditions last month, much of B.C. found itself reaching for an umbrella rather than a swimsuit. Here in the Central Okanagan, while not particularly cold or wet, many of the days last month were cloudy, a far cry from the sunshine the Okanagan is known for in July. Now that it’s back, the beach is once again the place to be for those looking for a little sun. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

HST vote stumbles to finish line The deadline to mail in your HST ballot quickly approaches. August 5 is the last day Elections BC will receive envelopes which means if you want to take part in this important decision, today is the day to mark your X. There is only word to truly describe the HST mess: Unfortunate. It’s unfortunate the Liberals so badly bungled rolling it out. It’s unfortunate the NDP has spearheaded a tax revolt without real alternatives. It’s unfortunate the political landscape of this
province has been dominated by this discussion while much more pressing issues get neglected. Despite the political upheaval over this little acronym, it would be even more unfortunate if the province is forced back to the old tax system with a yes vote. The Liberals are guilty of misleading voters on the HST. The manner in which the Liberals got us to this point will not be forgotten come general election time. If that’s the time voters decide to make a change, so be it. Just as alarming as the Lib-
erals’ path to this referendum is the NDP strategy. The electoral gamesmanship on display over the last year has been all-time. The party has taken every opportunity to trace back almost all issues to the low-hanging fruit of tax revolt, all the while providing very little in the way of solutions. Firing up the masses over increased taxation is easy, sound policy is hard. The best weather vane of this referendum may be the Green Party of B.C.—a party looking to be more pragmatic than polit-
ical. Last month, party delegates debated the HST at their AGM. A distinct majority, including party leader Jane Sterk, voted in favour of keeping the HST, one main reason being that the HST is a true consumption tax. Those who make more money will spend more money and in turn pay more tax. If that yellow envelope still sits unopened, now is your chance to weigh in. Yes or no, your time will not be wasted and you can take comfort knowing you had your say.

Old age offers blinders to the brazen attitudes of youth
O
ur view of the world changes as we get older. It is a part of nature that no matter how we baby boomers try to fight it, the natural order of things begins to change. I think when Pete Townshend wrote the lyrics to the 1960s rebellious tune My Generation (“I hope I die before I get old…”), he was speaking to how people of his age back then, if they lived long enough, would soon become the establishment, and would look down on the generation after him doing the same things he was doing at their age. While I understand he has publicly long since renounced penning that controversial phrase to that song, I think Grandpa Pete realized he can’t
stay young, or at least think young, forever. At some point, responsibility of adulthood and having kids kicks in. Your vantage point on life around you changes, filters how you view things. As I enter my 50s this year, I feel that change taking place in me. Three recent incidents I encountered helped hit that point home to me. Incident #1 occurred recently at Hot Sands Beach in City Park. While lounging on the beach with my wife watching our toddlers play in the sand, a young couple about 20 feet
away from us sparked up a marijuana joint. The fact they did this in a no-smoking area with cops circling around on the City Park pathway Barry didn’t faze them. And Gerding the pungent smell that came from their direction made it pretty clear they weren’t trying to hide what they were doing. The brazen enthusiasm or ignorance of youth, depending on your point of view, to pull off a stunt like that has long since left me, if it ever existed to begin with. Incident #2, was at the same place,
EDITOR’S NOTE
same time. As I turned away from the pot smokers, I caught a glimpse of another young couple strolling up to the water’s edge. Sticking their toes in the water, the duo proceeded to strip down to their undergarments and go for a plunge in the lake. After a minute or two cooling off from the heat, they jumped out of the water, put their clothes on over their wet skivvies, and carried on their way. The scary part of that was my wife had to point out to me the woman was actually wearing her bra and panties, as I guess I just assumed she had a bikini on underneath her clothes. Another sign of old age—you see what you want rather than what really is. Incident #3: Pulling out of a fast
food restaurant parking lot at lunch this week, I saw two couples from Alberta, judging by the vehicle license plate, with one of the couples hugging and kissing affectionately. But what I was actually seeing was a future vision, 15 years down the road, and that scantily-clad girl with the tattoos being my then grown-up daughter. Having children is a like a filter for your eyes that is hard to turn off. I don’t hear much about Pete Townshend any more, but I wonder if he should write a followup to his ’60s hit from the prospective of the 66-year-old that he is today. I think the lyrics would read a lot different.

So how does he figure that the HST may cost low income people less, we wonder?

I like how you made references to alcohol in comparison and their detrimental effects. The facts are here now but some people refuse to believe them. I will continue to use and advocate the benefits to the mind and body from cannabis while understanding the healthy balance of medicinal drug use. The establishment will demonize something that you can’t patent and can’t distribute via the pharmaceutical industry, so don’t hold your breath. Many people will still be popping legal drugs, getting addicted and having negative health effects, unfortunately, before cannabis is more accepted for what it is—a natural safe alternative to prescription drugs and a incredibly versatile plant. It has health benefits, it’s nutritious and it can be made into pretty much anything. That is why it’s illegal. Dan Cantin, kelownacapnews.com
To the editor: Re: It’s No Accident– Driver Error Is The Cause, (letter to the editor, Aug. 2 Capital News). I’m not certain how you make some of the claims you make, Doug. While the accident on Shannon Lake Road was indeed a real tragedy and, hopefully, will serve as the impetus needed for our ultra-frugal (West Kelowna) district council to finally put sidewalks on the entire length of Shannon Lake Road, I believe you are wrong to suggest such harsh punishment options for driver error. The driver may have been distracted and may end up with a charge under the Motor Vehicle Act of driving without due care and attention, or something similar, but to suggest that drivers who are behind the wheel of all traffic fatalities receive Criminal Code convictions and mandatory minimum sentences (including a prison term) is not only absurd, but would amount to cruel punishment. Why should someone who, in a moment of distraction or even through
no fault of their own such as wet roads, be branded a criminal and have a criminal record simply because they fatally struck someone? Like you, I have some experience on the subject, but as a pedestrian. Several years ago now, I was running across Water Street at Lawrence Avenue trying to catch a bus—crossing when I did not have a walk light—when I was struck by a Ford pickup and apparently thrown more than 15 feet into the middle of the intersection. I say ‘apparently’ because I went unconscious for about five minutes until I awoke to firefighters who had come running out from the fire hall across the street. I suffered a concussion and my head was bleeding, requiring at least a half dozen or possibly a dozen (I don’t even recall the number) staples, fainted numerous times while in hospital and an injured MCL (ligament). While I was crossing at an intersection with a sidewalk, I did not have a walk light. Several people in-

sisted I should make a claim through ICBC for the accident and injuries I suffered, but I refused. Why? I felt that the driver was not at fault. I shouldn’t have crossed the street at that time and, unfortunately, suffered injuries as a result of my own actions. The point I am trying to make is when we make bad errors in judgment the consequences may be very severe and could even be fatal, such as in the case on Shannon Lake Road. However, driver error, as you suggest, does not make it a criminal mistake. I have no doubt the driver feels absolutely awful in this case, is grieving and will quite likely requiring months (possibly years) of counselling. Why do you want to inflict any more suffering? The only points I would agree with would points 4 through 7, essentially, for the reasons you have outlined.
One would think that the government would be excited by such international recognition of one of its scientists but Canadian government scientists can no longer speak to the press without high level permission and the PMO turned thumbs down on any interviews with Dr. Miller. The second case concerns Canadian visual artist and educator Franke James, who posts informative and amusing visual essays about environmental issues on her blog. Ms. James had been invited to tour with her work in Europe. She had a corporate sponsor and a local non-governmental organization organizer.
Instead of assisting Ms. James, federal officials have been doing their best to block this tour, including pressuring the corporate sponsor to withdraw its support and the NGO to cancel the tour. Ms. James’ crime is unclear. She thinks it is that she is critical of the government’s foot dragging on climate change. (See her blog for more information: www.frankejames.com/ debate/?cat=370.) Both cases reflect a shameful meanness of spirit and paranoia that should have no place in Canadian government and are another black mark on our international reputation. Michael Healey, Peachland
Westside development ‘shameful’ Express yourself To the editor: Now that the tourists and out of town guests are here I felt compelled to write this letter after listening to comments made about West Kelowna while spending time among them. Crass over-development and the blatant ‘raping’ of the hillsides of their beauty all for the developers’ gain; a few kilometres of ugly, non-creative concrete strip malls
filled with mostly under performing retail stores; a hodgepodge of streets and a ‘beach area’ that is an embarrassment (see Peachland beaches for how to do it right) all intermixed with highway frontage that is an eyesore filled with billboards and unkempt properties. A friend of mine from the Coast said that West(bank) Kelowna has earned the dubious title of “Surrey of the Interior.”
It was shameful to hear that especially since we had the chance to “create our own new and unique identity” with the incorporation of ourselves as a town. Instead we waffle and hem and haw and let the dollar tell us how our town is going to be. What a complete waste of beauty and uniqueness. Steve Pierson West Kelowna

‘Shameful’ gagging of talent by federal government To the editor: Freedom of expression and access to information are core democratic values to which Canada presumably ascribes. Two recent cases, however, call into question our current government’s commitment to these values. The first case is the refusal of the Prime Minister’s Office to allow DFO (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) scientist Kristina Miller to give interviews to the press about a paper she published in the prestigious journal Science. The journal thought the work was so significant they alerted over 7,000 news organizations to its publication.

A 23-year-old Kelowna woman died Sunday after she was pulled into the Shuswap River and under a logjam near Enderby. The woman got tangled up in the logs and was pulled under the water. Her body was recovered a short time later. “Indications are she was out on some type of raft with a group of friends when she was pulled into the jam,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “CPR was attempted on the woman for quite some time, but she could not be revived.” It does not appear the woman was wearing any type of flotation device, and police state she was the only one in the group who got pulled towards the logjam. It’s the second drowning on the Shuswap River in 2011.

Summer heat’s arrival welcomed Jan Johnson CONTRIBUTOR
Finally, our summer has arrived. With the sunshine and hot weather, a person’s thoughts naturally turn to—ice cream. Downtown Kelowna is definitely the place to be if you want to enjoy the lovely creamy coolness of this special treat. There are lots of downtown shops that serve up ice cream, which is definitely better when savoured with a lake view. So why not do an “ice cream tour” of downtown Kelowna? Start at Annegret’s Chocolates in the Towne Centre Mall (565 Bernard) for a taste of their unique flavours. Lovingly hand-made by Annegret, their gelato has a very European touch, often called “the best in town.” Annegret is always coming up with intriguing new flavours. Try the new Creme Brulee or Blood Orange & Pineapple. It’s also the perfect opportunity to check out Annegret’s delicious handmade chocolate delights. Continuing towards the lake, you’ll hit MooLix, at 239 Bernard Ave. This place is always bustling in summer, often until late in the evening. Moo-Lix feature over 70 flavours of ice cream, with some really interesting names. How about Green Tea or Peanut Butter and Jam? Don’t worry if you see a line-up, as their perky staff is very efficient at moving things along quickly. Now it’s time to head a little north on Ellis Street. I’ve just heard that The Water Garden (across from the library) now has a summer ice cream bar. Haven’t had a chance to stop in for a taste yet, but I’m sure it’s worth a visit. If you make it as far as the bistro at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, you can reward yourself with some artisan gelato created onsite by Aimee Parisien. Grand Marnier is one of their lovely flavours, and you can wander over to the waterfront walkway from there, to enjoy the view as you savour the taste. See Downtown A12

NEWS W PET CARE
Early detection is crucial in approach to treating tumors T umors are very common in animals, especially in the senior animal population. According to researches, cancer is the cause of almost 50 per cent of death in pets over 10 years of age. It is important to understand that not every tumor is cancerous. Tumor definition is any abnormal growth of cells.

not invade the surrounding body tissues, and do not spread throughout the body. Malignant neoplasms, on the other hand, tend to grow rapidly, invade the tissues around them, and may spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body. Only malignant tumors are considered cancerous. The diagnosis of tumors is done by pathological examination of the

specific tissue involved. The most common diagnostic procedures that are done by vets are either fine needle aspiration (FNA) or biopsy. In fine needle aspiration, the veterinarian uses a needle and a syringe to obtain a sample of cells from the mass. The advantage of this procedure is that it is fairly simple to perform. In many cases this procedure does not require anesthesia, sedation or any other preparation, unless it is done on an internal organ. The disadvantage of this method is that the results are not guaranteed as reliable. A much better method of diagnosing the nature of the tumor is by obtaining a real biopsy of the tissue. This requires cutting a piece or the whole tumor out. This procedure yields much more reliable results, but usually requires some sort of sedation or general anesthesia. The sample that was obtained then gets sent to a special laboratory to be assessed by a pathologist. The pathologist will
determine the nature of the cells and if the tumor is benign or cancerous. Cancer is a very broad term. Diagnosing a tumor as cancerous is just the first step in determining the severity of the condition and the prognosis of the pet. Different cancer tumors have various levels of aggressiveness in terms of rate of growth and ability to metastasize and affect more organs. If the tumor is diagnosed as cancerous the veterinarian will likely recommend performing additional tests such as blood tests, x-rays or ultrasound to assess whether the tumor has spread. Early detection is extremely important in managing most cancerous tumors. In general, tumors can develop anywhere in the body. They can be external or internal. External tumors are usually easier to detect and diagnose. If you notice any lump or mass on your pet, take it to be checked by your veterinarian. External tumors may also appear as wounds that do not heal.
Internal tumors are harder to detect. Internal tumors usually manifest by symptoms related to the organ affected. The most common symptoms that are associated with cancer in general are: decreased appetite and weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding or discharge from any body opening, persistent lameness or stiffness, difficulty breathing, urinating, or defecating and, of course, any abnormal swelling or enlargement of a tissue. Unfortunately the cause of most tumors is unknown, hence cannot be prevented. Spaying your dog around six months of age can significantly reduce the chances of mammary tumors. Neutering males prevents testicular tumors as well. Once a tumor is diagnosed as cancerous, the treatment depends on the type of the cancer, and the severity of the condition. Each tumor is treated differently depending on its nature. In general, most commonly the treatment includes surgical excision of the mass if possible, and or chemo-
therapy. Your pet’s overall health is important too, and your veterinarian may recommend dietary changes or other things to help your pet better respond to treatment. Once you have a diagnosis, your veterinarian will discuss the best treatment options for your pet and the risks and side effects associated with each option. Pain management is also recommended in many cases. Unfortunately sometimes the condition is too advanced to attempt curative treatment, and measures will be taken only to try to improve the pet’s quality of life. Early detection can be crucial in affecting the course of the disease and the prognosis of your pet. Please consult your veterinarian for more information on tumors and their best medical management.

Strong season for Wurtele shows Watkins signs with Eagles even more promise for future Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
In endurance events such as triathlon, athletes in their early 30s are still potentially years away from their peak. If that's the case, then even better times should be ahead for Heather Wurtele. The 32-year-old Okanagan athlete is enjoying her best season yet on the international triathlon circuit with two major victories in 2011. The latest triumph for Wurtele was a record-setting performance late last month at Ironman Lake Placid in New York. Wurtele finished the 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike, and 42.2 km run in nine hours 19 minutes and three seconds, obliterating the former standard by more than 5 1/2 minutes. Tine Deckers of Belgium was second, more than 15 minutes back. "It was hugely meaningful," said Wurtele, who grew up in Vernon and whose family resides in Kelowna. "I didn't know while I was out there that I was on a record pace, but when I crossed the line and saw I had the record I was super happy. It just sort of shows me that my fitness is really getting there and my training is paying off. "To win a race that some of my idols have won in the past (Heather Fuhr and Kate Major)

really makes it that much more special." It was back on May 7 that Wurtele set the bar
high for her 2011 season by leaving the field in her wake at Ironman St. George in Utah, winning
by more than 36 minutes. She now has four full Ironman titles to her credit as well a pair of Canadian long course championships. For someone who didn't begin training seriously for triathlons until the age of 26, Wurtele has legitimate reason to believe her finest performances are yet to come. "I feel like my best is still a ways down the road," said Wurtele who does some of her training in the Valley with husband, Trevor. "In this sport, the ultra endurance ones, it takes a lot of years to get to your best in all three aspects. This is my best season to date, but I feel like there's lots of room for improvement. "You look at the best in the world, Natascha Badmann, and she was still winning big races in her late 30s. It's a cool sport in that way." Next up, Wurtele plans to compete at a half Ironman event at Mt. Stevens, Wash. It will serve as a training event as she focuses her attention on the World Ironman Championships in Kona, Hawaii in October. "Looking at the times from previous races, I feel like I can be competitive at worlds," she said. "I think a top five is reachable, that's what I'm working towards." whenderson @kelownacapnews.com
The lockout is over and his name is on an NFL contract. Nothing could make West Kelowna's Danny Watkins happier as he gets ready to embark on his pro football career with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles this week signed Watkins to a fourdeal with a three-year guarantee, which a league source said is worth just under $8 million. Watkins, who is projected as the Eagles' opening-day starting right guard, is thrilled to finally be able to throw on the pads after a work stoppage had threatened the 2011 NFL season. "This is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, that's for sure," Watkins told the Philadelphia Daily News. "I understand there's a business aspect of football. It's something I've never cared for or know much about. I'm just glad this is over with, and (I can) get rolling… It's something I definitely didn't enjoy."

Victoria wins B.C. title while Jays go 1-2 With last month's B.C. junior title already to their credit, the Kelowna Jays had designs on completing the sweep with the provincial senior baseball championship. But when all was said and done, home field advantage wasn't nearly enough as the Jays posted a 1-2 record and missed the playoffs. As it turned out, the class of the eight-team tourney at Elks Stadium was the Victoria Mavericks who captured the B.C. crown with a perfect 5-0 record. Victoria secured the championship Sunday with a hard-fought 1-0 win over the Coquitlam Angels. The Mavs scored the in the first inning, then played solid, errorless defense the rest of the way to clinch the title. Victoria's Kyle Pockett was named the tournament's MVP, Coquitlam's Sean Schaefer was the top pitcher, while Angels teammate Kyle Iwata has the top batting average. As for the Jays, the weekend began well with a 15-1 win over the Prince George Grays on Friday night. Kelowna scored eight times in the first and seven more in the second to

In their second game Saturday, a pitcher's duel between two Team Canada members saw Coquit-

Okanagan lost a pair of close games, 3-1 to Langley and 4-2 to Abbotsford, before beating Nanaimo 5-4 in their final game on Sunday. In the win, Luke Cooke had two hits and also combined with Will Russell on a seven-hitter. "Considering the pressure cooker it was and being the first time there for a lot of them, the kids did great," said first-year head coach Ben Fines. "We just had one error too many."

PacificSport launches Academy
W TEAM COMPETITION
Apple Tri asks businesses to challenge each other
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A new program, combining athletics and academics, will be launched this fall in the Central Okanagan to help aspiring young athletes in the region prepare for their futures in a high performance sports environment. The PacificSport Athlete Academy is a 10-month multi-sport program which supports a competitive training schedule while allowing the athlete to attend a school of their choice. Aimed at athletes from any sport who are 17 years of age and under, students will spend 1/2 days from Tuesday to Thursday each rweek at the Academy and can earn credits while ttraining for their chosen sports outside of school. Athletes will train in a number of different athletic disciplines—track and field, gymnastics and strength conditioning among them—at various facilities in Kelowna, including the Capital News Centre, the Apple Bowl and the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre. Beginning in September, the program will provide the athletes with extra opportunities to train and travel, a knowledge

"Basically the program is providing an early look at what it's like to be a highly competitive athlete, not just in high school, but at the university, the Olympic or professional levels," said Academy director Kim Whelpton. "It will be their first exposure and give them an idea of the hours they need to put in and the kind of the commitment they need to make. It also helps them with individual academic plans for their futures." There will also be a dedicated teacher from the Central Okanagan school district who will assist students with their academic needs. A sample of elective courses includes health
and science, human performance and outdoor education. PacificSport Athlete Academy will also provide transportation for students, shuffling them from school to their sportspecific training centre, or at the Athlete Academy Centre for training and tutoring needs. The cost of the program ranges between $1,000 and $1,500 per student. Scholarships are available to help athletes and their families defray some of the costs. Applications are now being accepted for the 2011-12 school year, with a deadline of Aug. 19. For more information or to apply, contact Kim Whelpton at (250) 469-8461, or by email at kwhelpton@pacificsport. com.

All four CRC regional teams are now 1-1 in Canadian Rugby Championship play. The Blues were the hungrier team in the early going of their West Vancouver match at Klahanie Park, scoring three unanswered tries and a penalty goal to go up 22-0

over the stunned B.C. side. After finally settling the visitors down, B.C. winger Esava Lakulanisia answered for the locals, scoring a dazzling try before the half, converted by Connor Braid. BC had some hope at the half, trailing 22-7. Two early tries in the
beginning of the second half, one by each team, showed the combatants both still had a lot left in the tank. BC's fullback Sean Duke answered Ontario's Kyle Armstrong's try, taking the score to 2914. However, B.C. lost control of the match at
the midway point, as the Blues ran in three more tries to take a 46-14 lead. A late try by B.C.'s Adam Minty saved some face for the B.C. side, finishing the match with a 46-21 loss. B.C. will look to bounce back against the Prairie Wolf Pack in Ke-
lowna next week. The kick off is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. at Kelowna's Apple Bowl. "Putting things into perspective, that was our second game in four days," said B.C. head coach Kris De Scossa. "It makes a big difference when you play a team that
has played several exhibition games and had months to prepare. Taking that all into consideration and the fact that we have only played two games as a squad, I'm proud of our guys and I look forward to seeing them come together more as a team in Kelowna."

Bocephus King’s Perry finds his way back on stage B.C. musician who found success at home and Europe, happy to play his genre-defying brand of music at “ninjalike” gigs across B.C. He’s at the Minstrel Cafe in Kelowna Aug. 9. Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
In search of kindred spirits, James Perry grew up in Vancouver's small cafes and grotty bars, developing his own brand of music among men and women who lived and breathed the art form— not necessarily profiting from it. So, it's only fitting they were the ones to draw Perry, known better by the stage name Bocephus King, back into a recording studio after a six year hiatus from a career
that had led him around the world, performing for massive sold out audiences. "For most people, it's hard to focus on music," said Perry. "In Canada there are festival people and campfire people, but there aren't many who feel music is a part of them, like breathing. In other cultures music is still the core." That musical core is something critics and fans recognized when Perry, as Bocephus King, took the stage at small gigs in the mid '90s with his blend of folk, country, roots and blues. As he honed his skills, he gained a following that allowed him to keep going as a working musician with critical acclaim. Ironically, however, that genre-bending was also
what kept him from attaining mainstream success in Canada. By 1998 prognosticators anticipated his album, A Small Good Thing, would be a hit, but it didn't quite stick. "People would say this is country, this is alternative country twice removed, this is blues…but nothing is quite like that," he said. It was a frustrating turn in a career that seemed to be skating along the edge of something bigger. "I had lots of trouble with my record label back then," he said, adding the label was in its infancy at that time. "I wasn't really talking with them much and I had organized a tour to Europe." Unbeknownst to Perry, the editor of a popular Ital-
ian music magazine had lit the light at the end of the tunnel by playing his biggest behind-the-scenes champion. "I didn't know what was going on when I got there, but people for magazines were interviewing me," he said. "And when I walked on stage, the crowd knew the words to all my songs." In the past, Perry has said it dawned on him that he was "huge in Europe" when he headlined a huge outdoor event, where he initially believed he was only to be a bit player. He continued on with that success until 2005, when he just lost steam. "After awhile I wasn't sure what I was doing or why I was doing it," he said. I'd lost my way." So, he went back to basics, worked on other

BOCEPHUS KING releases anticipated fifth album:

There he found the inspiration for his new record Willie Dixon God Damn, which will be released by Tonic Records/ Fontana North Aug. 23. In the spirit of his ear-
lier offerings, the album is an eclectic concoction of ingredients, integrating literary and cinematic influences as well as the sounds of Eastern mysticism, soulful street carnival blues and border-town roots rock. "This album is where I worked everything out," he said. "Making music came so easily to me that I didn't have the proper gratitude to balance myself…then I became grateful about it." He's also grateful to go back on the road, which provides an energy he feeds off. His concert schedule kicks off in Kelowna, takes him throughout B.C., and ultimately back to Europe where he once found success and the impetus to further self understanding. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Rick Davis t r After Tim Burton’s 2001 remake of The Planet of the Apes, starring Mark Wahlberg (which was a hit but ultimately forgettable), 20th Century Fox has decided to reboot tthe series with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Although the story is close to the fourth movie, 1974’s Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, the fmovie company hopes to start a new franchise with a new origin story on how the apes took over the world. James Franco stars as a scientist working on a cure for Alzheimer’s by performing tests on apes. The first test subject is a chimpanzee named Caesar but the cure actually genetically modifies Caesar’s way of thinking to create a new breed of ape with hu-

He eventually proves smart enough to break free from his cage and release the cure among other apes. Soon, millions of apes begin to organize and war breaks out with humans. Unlike the previous Planet of the Apes movies, all of the primates are computer generated, with Weta Workshop (Lord of the Rings) doing the special effects. Even Andy Serkis, who did the motion capture for Gollum and King Kong, has been recruited for the part of Caesar. ••• A quick Google
search of body switching movies returns a huge list, the most famous of which include three versions of Freaky Friday, 18 Again, All of Me, Like Father Like Son and many more. The latest take on this genre is The Change-Up, starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman. Respectively, they play Mitch and Dave, two friends who have drifted apart because they lead different lives. Dave is an overworked lawyer and a married father of three. Mitch is a single, semiemployed man-child and womanizer. Both believe the other has a better
life and wish they could switch while peeing into a fountain. The next morning, they wake up to find themselves in each other’s bodies. It’s predictable, but with talents like Reynolds and Bateman, combined with the writers of The Hangover and the director of The Wedding Crashers, there is a good chance of laughter. It also stars Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde and Alan Arkin. Rick Davis is the manager of the Capitol Theatre in West Kelowna. capitol_wes@landmarkcinemas.ca
Cowboys and Aliens–that bad COWBOYS AND ALIENS
Armed with popcorn, a diet coke and Milk Duds (it wasn’t nearly enough!), I went in to see Cowboys and Aliens— well, how bad could it be with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig? Pretty bad, as it turns out. This hapless bunch from the 1800s gets attacked by Outlaws and (let’s be perfectly politically correct here) Cowpersons (or bovine persons, if you’re from the south), then Native Americans (Apaches) show up with bows and arrows, then Aliens (or as I like to call them, “New Earthlings”). Wow, Robert Downey Jr. dropped out of this one, eh? Who knew he was that smart? And here’s a real surprise—it was produced by Steven Spielberg. What are the odds of that? Good Lord, does he ever quit with the Aliens—oh sorry, New Earthlings—

There were darn few good quotes, but this one should give you an idea of the real depth of the writing: “You can drink your
last few hours away on a beach, which by the way, isn’t a bad idea, or you can follow me.” Wow, you know this really is a classic in the making. I give this one reel just because it took some pretty spectacular special effects to make folks actually stay for the whole show. Don’t bother with Cowboys and Aliens unless there is absolutely nothing else to do— like giving yourself a root canal or cleaning poo off your shoe. This is not a good movie and not a good way to spend a Saturday night…or any night for that matter. Too harsh?

where no comb or brush has hit his head in months but Ferraro has also become something of a pinup idol for the young ladies with his rugged good looks. This doesn’t hurt when you are trying to promote your very first long player (in that the band has released a couple of indie EPs). Ferraro is a piano player but his style of music is post-emo where, to my ears, The Midway State straddles both emo and art rockers like Coldplay and hence maybe the band’s name. The album Paris Or India made its debut just shy of the top 40 but this is one of those albums that will work its way up the charts rather than down as more people discover this new act with lots of future promise. The group has a minor but growing hit with the tune simply titled Atlantic and its alluring synth-rock—the song is the number two video on Much Music right now. Sometimes The Midway State gets a little unnecessarily busy as on All Anew while their lone soft ballad, Hartley Salter’s Kite, sounds like, believe it or not, Christopher Cross. A solid if somewhat short 10-track CD but a band to watch.

His energy level and attack on old blues standards was a minor revelation and moreover Thorogood sort of got swept up in the burgeoning punk scene for his pedal to the metal performances. Furthermore, Thorogood didn’t just play old blues songs. He made some of them his own with his wild interpretations with an extended take of John Lee Hooker’s ode to dipsomania One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer and Hank Williams’ Move It On Over. Also, Thorogood has rarely been much of a songwriter but he did manage to pen his signature song Bad To The Bone that has been used in dozens of films and

Anyway, most of the songs here are originals instead of covers and although the show is relatively new the ‘cast’ recording of Freak The Freak Out has become a minor hit amongst the youth crowd as sung by the leading cast member Victoria Justice. To hedge their bets, Nickelodeon brought in Miranda Cosgrove of iCarly to sing on the last cut Leave It All To Shine.

You need to be a good manager of your own arthritis, have a positive attitude, believe in the value of encouraging people with arthritis to assume responsibility for their self-management, and be comfortable facilitating small groups. In addition to training, you will receive ongoing support from the Kelowna Arthritis Centre. You will be joining a dedicated team of volunteers who want to help others, and in the process, get so much back from those you help.

readership GETS results. I felt a need to write and tell you how pleased I have been with the advertising you have been putting in place for me in the Capital News. I am sure everyone is aware that the past few years have been an interesting and difficult time for both consumers and retailers. Advertising dollars need to be spent in a careful manner with the focus being on the best possible coverage. Previously I have used a variety of media to advertise my business with varied results. Through trial and error, I have come to realize that the Capital News has given me the ability to have my business covered to a substantially larger market at a moderate price. Consistently advertising in the same paper has rewarded us with many new customers, especially from the Kelowna area, who have been genuinely amazed at the wide variety of brands we carry and the personalized service we offer. This manner has also helped to keep our loyal customer base updated on new styles, promos and our seasonal sales. My advertising rep, Valerie Pelechaty has been a huge help with formatting ads. Her professionalism has been a tremendous asset to me in many ways and I hope to continue to learn from her. In closing, thank-you to everyone at The Capital News, for helping to make Westbank Shoes the successful operation that it has become.

WESTSIDE W B.C. HYDRO
Intelligence of new smart meters being questioned Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
B.C. Hydro plans to have smart meters installed in every West Kelowna home by the end of 2012. The initiative will aim to replace existing meters with a modern, fully integrated, smart metering system as part of B.C. Hydro’s electricity system infrastructure upgrades. But not everyone is happy about the change. The B.C Green Party has publicly criticized the meters, stating that they will expose people to electromagnetic radiation. During a news conference on Wednesday, July 27, party leader Jane Sterk said that the World Health Organization has cited electromagnetic radiation as a possible carcinogen. Una St. Clair, executive director of the Citizens for Safe Technology Society, said that B.C. Hydro’s smart meter project will significantly harm individuals in their own homes. “B.C. Hydro has no right to take away people’s safety and security within their own home,” said St. Clair. “The home is a sanctuary. When it’s poisoned, it’s no longer a sanctuary.” St. Clair said that the smart meter is a wireless device, which sends signals out in milliseconds. “The signals are pulse modulated radiation, so microwave radio frequency radiation,” said St. Clair. “It’s similar to having an iPhone strapped to the side of your house, sending signals in tiny bursts

Hydro announced that it would move ahead with the $930-million plan to install smart meters on two million homes and businesses in April 2011, many have also been concerned about privacy. “If you can imagine getting a real snapshot of how people are using certain devices and appli-

ances, and how that kind of marketing data could be packaged and sold, that’s some of the concerns that I’ve seen about privacy,” said St. Clair. According to St. Clair, this program will directly affect some people’s health. “Some people who are electro-hyper sensitive have disruptions of the
physical system—headaches, dizziness, nausea, heart (problems), insomnia and tinnitus—when they’re around wireless devices. “Those people specifically are now severely challenged by being unable to stop an involuntary exposure in their own home.” St. Clair said that she is concerned about the environment as well. “The spikes of energy are in milliseconds and the spiking of energy goes through every living thing,” she said. “Scientists are telling us that this kind of spiking of microwave radio frequency radiation, carrying the information as it goes through the human body, has the ability to disrupt cellular communication and normal functioning of the cell.”

People who do not want the smart meter on their property do have options. But, in most cases, they’re expensive options. “There are some things that people can do. They can go off grid, which was the first response that we received from B.C. Hydro. (B.C. Hydro) states that if you don’t want a wireless meter on your house, you can personally pay to move the wireless meter off your house and put it on a pole or other meter stand,” St. Clair said. “The prices we’re being quoted for doing this, for an average house, is anywhere from $3,000 to $12,000.” But B.C. Hydro claims that the new smart meter program has several advantages. On its web site, B.C. Hydro writes that the smart meter signals are short, infrequent and will last less than one minute per day. The website states that the exposure to radio frequency from a smart meter, over its entire 20-year life span, is equivalent to a single 30 minute cell phone call.

Carelessness of motorists New Trepanier investors recruited shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tolerated W PEACHLAND
Project from B1
A big leap forward was taken in the winter of 2009-10, when Matcon Construction put in servicing for the property, including water and sewer lines, electrical cables and other underground services. Prior to servicing, a showhome was constructed on the property. On Feb. 15, 2010, Trepanier Manor announced via press release that a construction start at the project was â&#x20AC;&#x153;imminent.â&#x20AC;? And then everything stopped. Fast forward to the present day and it seems there has been no action at the site. But the action in the courts is heating up. Just 15 days after Trepanier Manor announced construction was imminent, Matcon Construction filed a lawsuit against the developer. The construction company claimed that $510,459 out of a contract worth $1.93 million was left owing to it, according to court documents. Then in March of 2011, the Royal Bank of Canada went after Da-
foe, Wilshaw and several others over an unpaid balance on a Visa business card. The matter involves Vineyard Catering Ltd., which Wilshaw was involved in. The catering company set up a kitchen and restaurant in the lower level of Hainle Vineyards Estate Winery. The Royal Bank alleges that $133,133 is left owing on the credit card account. Also in March of this year, the Business Development Bank of Canada started a suit against Trepanier Manor, DaFoe, Dudlezak, Wilshaw and others, claiming that a $150,000 loan was unpaid. On July 15, 2011, the Canadian Western Bank began proceedings against Trepanier Manor, claiming that the company defaulted on its mortgage. The Canadian Western Bank is at the same time going after Wilshaw in the amount of $943,000 and Dafoe and Dudelzak for $1.829 million each, alleging that the three principals of the project signed a limited liability guarantee to secure the mortgage.
Canadian Western also asks the court to appoint a receiver for the project, which would instigate the selling off of Trepanier Manor assets to pay the mortgage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bank just wants their money back,â&#x20AC;? Scott Wilshaw said Thursday. Wilshaw admitted Trepanier Manor is â&#x20AC;&#x153;so far behind.â&#x20AC;? He said it is about 15 months behind schedule and the biggest problem was getting subdivision approval. The land for the project was, at one time, one lot. It needed to be divided into 21 parcels: one for the hotel and 20 for the single-family homes to be sold off. Wilshaw said he could not sell the homes to pay back the mortgage until the lots were subdivided and registered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just got subdivision five weeks ago,â&#x20AC;? said Wilshaw, who claims he has new investors ready to loan money for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got two new sources of funding,â&#x20AC;? Wilshaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got one bank that wants out and two banks that want in.â&#x20AC;?

Wilshaw claims that the new investors want to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;X amount of salesâ&#x20AC;? in order for the new loan to go through. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elaborate how many â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is, but he did say the project has eight pre-sales of singlefamily homes waiting in the wings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to refinance,â&#x20AC;? said Wilshaw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to build.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;CWB (Canadian Western Bank) came in to service 21 lots. We did that 21 months ago,â&#x20AC;? said Wilshaw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been screwed around with the subdivision.â&#x20AC;? Trepanier Manor is also involved in another lawsuit against it, by Ponderosa Golf Course developer Treegroup. That lawsuit dates back to late 2009. According to court documents, Treegroup states that Trepanier Manor made public claims that there was some kind of relationship between the two developers. Treegroup states Trepanier Manor made claims on the web that buyers of homes at the project would get memberships at the golf course. Treegroup said no such relationship existed. Trepanier Manor and its principals are also involved in several other lawsuits, which they initiated, against several other parties. Dave Preston is publisher of the website www. peachlandnews.com.

his weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column topic was inspired by two beautiful women in my life. One is a good friend and the other a client. I was chatting the other day with my friend, who I will anonymously refer to as Bess. Our conversation topic turned to describing, to each other, motor vehicle collisions each of us had been involved in. Neither of us, thankfully, have ever been injured in a crash. Bess, thinking back over her driving history, listed off a handful of minor collisions between the back of her car and inanimate objects such as retaining walls and poles. I made some comment about how important it is to be careful when backing a vehicle, and she reassured me that she is very careful. I pointed out the obvious, at least to me, that whatever level of care she might have, it is clearly not high enough. As it turns out, the last of the series of reversing mishaps occurred approximately five years ago. Coincidentally, that is when her eldest child began becoming mobile. The Motor Vehicle Act, section 193 to be specific, prohibits causing a vehicle to move backwards unless the movement can be made in safety. In my view, however, a prohibition in the Motor Vehicle Act is of little consequence. More importantly, we owe a duty to those we share streets, sidewalks and driveways with, to take reasonable care in our operation of motor vehicles. That duty is both a legal and a moral one. In the legal context, failure

Paul Hergott to meet that duty is called negligence. The moral end of it is self-evident. It shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any difference whether or not there is a police officer standing by with a ticket book, which is when the Motor Vehicle Act comes into play. Backing into inanimate objects is not terribly problematic. Poles and retaining walls are remarkably resilient and bumpers are repairable. The problem comes when the victim of a lack of reversing care is a pedestrian, bicyclist, skate boarder, roller blader or â&#x20AC;&#x153;wheeler.â&#x20AC;? That brings me to the other beautiful woman in my life I had referred to. This lady, young at heart, suffered a serious injury when a car backed into her wheelchair as she was wheeling down a Kelowna sidewalk. The law of negligence imposes an extra high duty on motorists to take care not to run into people. There is one level of care owed to other motorists and a higher level of care owed to those not protected by air bags, steel bars and beams, and seat belts. Essentially, the extra high duty comes about because a motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carelessness is fraught with a much greater risk of harm when it comes to pedestrians and the like. The bottom line is that there is absolutely no excuse for anyone, ever, to

Community plan adopted Adopted at the July 26 council meeting, West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater says the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Official Community Plan is a significant accomplishment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of hard work went into creating this document over the past 30 months. In that time, staff and council reached out extensively to get constructive feedback from residents, developers, local government partners and numerous stakeholders,â&#x20AC;? said Findlater. The OCP incorporates new Climate Action initiatives, supports councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of a revitalized Westbank Centre, places an emphasis on the creation of a business park, and proposes Community Gateways to provide a distinct sense of arrival into West Kelowna from each direction along Highway 97.

WESTSIDE W MP’S REPORT
Governments have to live within their fiscal limitations M
any of us have heard this expression: “There is only one taxpayer.” But while there may only one taxpayer, here in Canada there are three layers of government providing services that ultimately are funded through a variety of different types of taxation taken from individual taxpayers. As an elected official, one of the first things I have learned is the spending of tax dollars is generally far easier than raising taxes to pay for that spending. It is a problem that many governments, not just here in Canada, but worldwide are currently struggling with as government revenues in many cases are not keeping up with government spending. This obviously creates a serious problem that requires either increases in revenue through taxation, decreases in spending, or some combination of both. Yet finding decreases in government spending, while easier said than done, can’t be left unchecked, as it can lead to increasing debt. I believe that debt is something that we all need to pay more attention to. Many of you may be aware of the current debt struggles in Ireland and Greece, where the share of gross debt has now well exceeded 100 t per cent of the respective
k t
Dan Albas Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in both those countries. Having said that, how many of you are aware that the United States has now reached a point where the projected gross debt for 2011 is forecast to be a 100 per cent share equal to the GDP? This is an increasingly serious situation, considering that countries we compete with economically such as China and India have considerably lower debt levels. For instance, China at just 17 per cent gross debt against GDP, India is 69 per cent and South Korea sits at 29 per cent. For Canada, our current gross debt to GDP ratio is roughly 84 per cent. The good news is that our budget deficit between April and May from this same time last year has shown a decrease, largely due to increased revenues up close to three per cent from both personal and corporate taxes. The importance of jobs and a strong economy cannot be overstated in helping to maintain important government ser-

vices. Moody’s Investor’s Services has also confirmed Canada’s current economic direction by renewing our AAA credit rating. I raise the issue of debt because it is important that government at all levels make efforts to control spending. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit one community where I met with a few interest groups who were promoting projects with a combined
price-tag in excess of $40 million. In both cases, the local government was unable to contribute so the expectation was that higher levels of government might step in to make up the shortfall. As much as these were both great projects that this particular community would no doubt enjoy, we must also learn to live within our means. We can consolidate and often use existing
buildings as opposed to constantly building bigger and building new. If one community can’t afford a one-third share of a project, perhaps that project should be scaled back to ensure its future sustainability. Ultimately as a country, we must all be willing to do our part in our communities to ensure that we keep spending in control. Every dollar of increased debt means that tax dollars that should be
used to fund core services such as health care, education and infrastructure rather than being diverted to pay for the debt interest. The higher our debt, the greater the interest payments and less tax dollars available for other services. Over time this situation can create the need for drastic actions that can potentially threaten the viability of the services we depend upon. We must also recog-
nize that important projects that help to increase government revenues ultimately help fund the very services we all depend upon. Keeping Canada strong will continue to be a priority of our government, and by working in partnership with our communities we will continue to build upon the success of our great country.

D8JK<I@E> >F;ËJ NFI; A local reporter recently called me to get some background information on certain issues which have been hotly debated within the largest church body of the Lutheran denomination in Canada. During our discussion, it became evident to the reporter that the issue came down to how the two sides of the debate interpreted certain key verses of Scripture. The reporter was quite right; at the heart of the issues we discussed, and all issues debated by Christians, is the interpretation of Scripture. How the Holy Bible is interpreted, however, is driven by how the interpreter views the Holy Bible. There are many who interpret the Bible in a very academic or scientific way. They apply the same tools of interpretation to the Biblical text as are applied to all other ancient texts academics seek to interpret. They treat the Bible the same way they treat Homer’s Iliad or the Odyssey, Beowulf or Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets. Those who interpret ancient texts like Beowulf understand them as products of human imagination. They understand that these ancient texts would have been shaped and influenced by many things, including the authors’ culture, religious belief, moral belief, political belief, personal likes and dislikes, and personal life experiences. They believe these influences are buried in the text and need to be exposed. Academic interpreters use the text as a vehicle to get into the mind and the world of the author. They believe that there is a meaning to the text that even the author was not conscious of when he or she wrote the text. These same principals are applied to the academic study of the Biblical text. Ancient handwritten manuscripts of a Biblical text are examined for inconsistencies. The Biblical text is compared to other forms of literature from the same time period. The historical context is derived from findings produced by historians and archaeologists who have studied the era during which the Biblical text was to have been written. Principals of the study of all literature are applied to the text. The academics seek to reconstruct the author’s world. It is assumed that the author’s world would shape the author’s mind and what the author wrote. The author would be seen as using Biblical text to either defend the author’s culture, and that culture’s religious and moral beliefs, or to oppose that culture’s religious and moral beliefs. Academics declare that there is a driving force behind the text and that driving force is the world and the society in which
the author lived; a force that shapes the text and how it was interpreted in the author’s day. The problem inherent in this method of interpretation of Biblical text is that it assumes the text is a ‘dead’ letter. The text served the interests of a particular people at particular time in history, and the knowledge that the people of that time had about themselves and their world. The message of the text is hampered by the knowledge and sophistication of the author and the author’s culture. For the text to have relevance today, it must be brought back to life. Just like an emergency room physician, academics apply the paddles of a defibrillator to the text, using our modern understanding of ourselves and our world to reinterpret the text, so that it is brought back ‘to life’ by matching our modern understandings and culture. Academics are not the only ones who believe there are hidden things in Biblical text. At various times during the history of God’s people, under the Old and the New Covenant, individuals have looked at the text and have seen a thread of reasoning, a hidden message or code, and insight that no one else has seen. These prophets have published their works and made converts. Most recently, Harold Camping discovered a hidden code in the Bible. He claimed God had revealed to him that Jesus would return on May 21, 2011. When that day came and went, he declared God made a spiritual judgement on May 21st and was going to reveal that judgment physically on October 21st of this year. Both these interpretations can do violence to the text and the faith of those who faithfully read their Bible. My years at seminary were preoccupied by the scientific study of Biblical text. I mastered the academic interpretation of the text, but resisted it. I demonstrated to my professors that I understood what they call the historical critical method of Biblical interpretation, but then would state my rejection. I would rail against those like Harold Camping, who’d apply their own completely personal method of interpretation, pointing out that, “They seek to master the text and use the text to their end.” However, having said that, I have to repent. I have to admit that I too always sought to ‘master’ the text, to understand it, find its true meaning, apply the meaning of the text to my life in the way that I saw fit, and then to encourage others to apply the text to their lives in the same way. I realized that I needed a new perspective on the Bible, its study and application. I got this new perspective from the Letter
to the Hebrews: “In the past, God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.”(Hebrews 1:1-3) These verses very clearly say that there was a force behind the words written by the authors of the Old and the New Testament. The force was not the life and times of the writers; it was the God who created the universe. The very first Chapter of the Book of Genesis says it all: God spoke words into the formless void and those words transformed the void and the chaos into what we see today with our own eyes and through the eyes of the technology we have produced. There is power in God’s word because God is behind it. Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” (Matthew 24:35) Jesus declares that His Word transcends historical context. Each era of human history passes away, but Jesus’ Words (who was with God at creation - John 1:1-4) will never pass. I am thus resolved to no longer attempt to master God’s Word but to be mastered by His Word. God’s word is powerful and creative by its very nature. It shaped and formed the universe and can shape and form something new in me: a deeper and more abiding faith in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God’s Word made mountains and God’s Word moves them. God’s Word can create faith in me and move me to think in new ways and to live my life in new and wonderful ways. God can teach me to love Him and my neighbours in the way He wants me to. If you want to be mastered by God’s word but not seek to master it, come join us for worship at Grace Lutheran, 10:30AM and noon, every Sunday. In Christ, Pastor Ed

WESTSIDE W ENVIRONMENT
Corporations taking control of our government
I
n 2008, economics student Tim DeChristopher went to an auction set up by the Bush administration for the oil and gas industry. He bid $1.8 million for the right to drill on 14 parcels of Utah wilderness, much of it near national parks, and drove up prices for other pieces of land that he bid on but didn’t win. Although DeChristopher later tried to raise money online and offered to pay for the land leases, the government claimed he had no intention of paying and convicted him in March on two felony counts. On July 27, he was sentenced to two years in jail and three years’ probation and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. He was escorted from the Utah courtroom in handcuffs. Now he’s a criminal. During the trial, the judge refused to allow DeChristopher to discuss his motivation. Because

David Suzuki of that, and other reasons, his lawyers are launching an appeal. In his statement to the court before sentencing, DeChristopher said he had wanted “to stand in the way of an illegitimate auction that threatened my future.” The leases were later cancelled because the Obama administration found that sufficient environmental reviews had not been conducted. In his inspiring speech, DeChristopher also spoke eloquently about the contradictions in the law around resource extraction. He pointed out that in West Virginia, where he was raised, a state investigation found that coal-

mining company Massey Energy, which often blasts away the tops of mountains to get at the coal, broke the law 62,923 times in the 10 years leading up to a disaster that killed 29 people in 2010. The company, which contributed millions of dollars to elect many appeals court judges in the state, was rarely penalized for those violations. DeChristopher argued that his mother had tried every legal method to get coal companies to comply with the law. “She commented at hearings, wrote petitions and filed lawsuits, and many have continued to do ever since, to no avail,” he said. “I actually have great respect for the rule of law, because I see what happens when it doesn’t exist, as is the case with the fossil fuel industry.” The trial, and the relatively tough sentence, hinged on the supposed damage DeChristopher caused. According to the government, oil companies were financially hurt because his actions drove the price up to an aver-

That’s despite the fact that companies willingly paid the higher prices and were allowed to withdraw their bids after DeChristopher was charged. And the leases were later cancelled anyway. For his part, DeChristopher argued that “the only loss that I intended to cause was the loss of secrecy by which the government gave away public property for private profit. As I actually stated in the trial, my intent was to shine a light on a corrupt
process and get the government to take a second look at how this auction was conducted.” DeChristopher’s ordeal exposes the massive power of the fossil fuel industry. Governments, including the U.S. and Canada’s, often do far more to promote the interests of this industry than to protect people’s rights and health. Those who violate the law and put the lives of citizens and their children and grandchildren at great risk through pollution and destructive industrial
practices often get let off scot-free or receive a slap on the wrist, while those who use civil disobedience to challenge this imbalance are hit with the full force of the law. Tim DeChristopher said he does not want to be a martyr; he just wants people to join him. “If the government is going to refuse to step up to that responsibility to defend a livable future, I believe that creates a moral imperative for me and other citizens. My future, and the future of everyone I care about, is being traded for short term prof-
its. I take that very personally.” We should all take it personally. We aren’t out to shut down the fossil fuel industry immediately. That would be impossible as well as impractical. But surely a sustainable, healthy future ought to come before a corporation’s right to profit.

Last month, the 81st Miss Kelowna Lady of the Lake Pageant was held at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Seven young ladies were competing for the title. Local radio broadcasting personality Dave Pears hosted the event, and Mayor Sharon Shepherd was the guest speaker. The 2011 pageant candidates opened the evening with the dance New York, New York staged by Luki Dance Production. Other highlights of the evening were the sponsor presentation, impromptu speech, farewells of the reigning ambassadors and finally the awards and crowning of the 2011 Kelowna ambassadors. So what is this Lady of the Lake pageant all about? There are so many questions about it. It definitely is not a beauty pageant, no height and weight requirement and no swimming suit competitions are involved. However, it is “the most amazing learning

has been transforming the lives of young ladies in Kelowna for more than 80 years. The six-month program provides training and guidance and runs from January to the mid-
dle of July. The candidates attend classes every Monday night learning topics such as public speaking, networking, Kelowna tourism, local history, etiquette, image, car maintenance, self defence and abuse prevention among many other subjects. Candidates with the reigning ambassadors also attend a number of events and charitable activities, always chaperoned, allowing them to give back to our wonderful community. And let’s not forget a few weeks of dance lessons in order to perform an opening number at the annual pageant. Throughout the training candidates are supported and encouraged by the society members and their sponsors to strive for excellence. During the year the candidates compete in categories such as public speaking, area knowledge, speech and talent show, fashion show, judge’s interviews and a volunteering essay. These judged events allow candidates to learn and demonstrate flexibility, integrity, self as-
surance, public speaking, finesse and the natural warmth and grace of youth. Ultimately, these qualities are then rewarded with a position and bursaries. Overall the program is a well rounded training experience for the enrolled candidates and they look forward to the Monday night meetings with a certain excitement. All of the above is conducted on a 100 per cent volunteer basis; this is an excellent opportunity to thank the devoted sponsors and all the wonderful instructors, who return year after year as well as the hard working society members for their time invested in our youth. The Lady of the Lake society would like to extend a warm invitation to both the young women in Kelowna, who would like to learn self-confidence and poise, and the welcome sponsors, who would help to make these dreams come true. Marya Raty is the director of training for the Miss Kelowna Lady of the Lake pageant.

BrainTrust Canada, a community rehabilitation organization dedicated to being a leader in brain injury prevention, is launching a national online contest for youth 13 and older in Canada called Sponsor My Head. Its objective to put helmets on heads and prevent brain injuries. The contest was created by TAXI Canada’s Vancouver office, and is supported by sponsor Nutcase Helmets, communications company SMAK, web hosting company Fatbox, and Menzies Printers Kelowna. The contest promotions include “street washing” (stencils of the sponsormyhead.com logo on pavement), as well as outdoor posters and in-store collateral materials in select Canadian cities. A total of 500 people have the opportunity to participate, they will receive a free Nutcase Helmet and be asked to submit a video of themselves wearing their helmet while doing a ‘street sport’ of their choice, such as skateboarding, bmx-ing, mountain biking or in-line skating. The top prize winner receives $5,000, a limited edition Nutcase helmet, and an honorary place as a Nutcase team rider, while 2nd place receives $2,000 and 3rd place gets $1,000. All three winners also receive a Go Pro Helmet Cam and promotional material from Nutcase Helmets. The contest consists of three phases—registration; making and sharing a video; and crowning the winners. The first phase opens today and lasts until Aug. 17, after which time the 500 qualified contestants will be mailed their Nutcase helmets and have the opportunity to produce their video. Full rules and regulations can be found on sponsormyhead.com. “The largest age group for risk of brain injury is youth, especially 13 to 24 year-olds, and we believe this is who this contest will appeal to,” said BrainTrust Canada spokesperson Magda Kapp. “The emphasis is on fun and creativity, not risk—and the idea is that many of these youth are already doing their sports but not wearing helmets. We want to add the helmet while giving them a money winning incentive to wear it.”

KENNETH DAVID BRUCE 1925-2011 Passed away peacefully on the morning of July 28th, 2011 in the flower gardens of Hospice House, Kelowna BC, after a lengthy stay at Kelowna General Hospital. Ken was born on June 12th, 1925 in Melfort, Saskatchewan. Predeceased by his wife of 52 years, Barbara Joyce (nee Wright), in 2005; Ken is survived by his children Marsha Bruce-Thompson, Gary (Micheline), Michael (Maureen), and Gregory (Kriszta); his grandchildren, Shannon, Tyler, Kimberley (Bradley) Newman, Lindsay, Sarah, Patrick, and Eden. Ken came from a large and close knit family and is survived by two brothers David (Thelma) and Richard (Joy); and sister-in-law, Pat Wright. Ken is predeceased by Robert, Donald, Douglas, Henry, Dorothy, and Charles. He will be missed by many. After completing high school in Victoria, Ken joined the Rainbow Sea Cadets and entered the Canadian Merchant Navy during the last years of the second war. In peacetime he continued as a merchant mariner and achieved his 2nd Mates ticket. He sailed the world and had many adventures. In 1950, Ken decided to lead a life on land and took Barbara Joyce Wright to a New Years dance in Kelowna BC. The two were married in 1953. Ken worked as an accountant for Kelowna Sawmills and Barbara worked at the Kelowna Health Unit while the two of them raised a family and became involved in the community life in Kelowna where Ken was active in Kinsmen. Ken never forgot his love of the sea and sailing and was also an active member of the Kelowna Yacht Club and became Commodore in 1968. The family moved to Calgary in 1969 and then to Richmond BC where Ken retired from his work as a Registered Industrial Accountant in 1984. Barb and Ken then returned to Kelowna in 1985 and lived there ever since. Ken continued his affiliation with the Kelowna Yacht Club and was also active with Blue Gavel and Probus. Ken and Barb and family had many happy years at their Westside road residence by Traders Cove. Ken loved gardening, sailing, walking, and visiting with many family and friends. He always put his family first and was a shining example of quiet support, moral steadfastness, and gentle humour. A celebration of Ken’s life will be held on Saturday, August 6th at 10:00 a.m. at St. George’s Anglican Church, 3690 Brown Rd., West Kelowna, with Rev. Albert McLane officiating. A reception will follow at the church hall. The family would like to extend heartfelt appreciation to family doctor, Dr. Banwell, the wonderful staff of 5B at the Kelowna General Hospital, and the kind and caring people of the Hospice House in Kelowna. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Central Okanagan Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna BC. V1Y 2Z6, or The Heart and Stroke Foundation of British Columbia and Yukon, http://www.heartandstroke.bc.ca. Cremation arrangements are in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services (250) 860-6440.
