Extent of jail Artists eager to spark downtown growth penalty tough call for judge Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Should a chronic offender who drove dangerously and tried to steal an occupied car while trying to evade police be sentenced to six years in jail or has the man, who has suffered abuse for much of his life, served enough time as he awaited trial? Justice Bruce Greyell is now mulling over the sentence for 28-year-old Stanley Nickason, as well as whether Nickason’s Charter rights were violated after he claimed police used excessive force after his March 4, 2008 arrest. The events that led to his arrest began when police discovered a stolen Mustang outside a known crack house on Briarwood Road and set up surveillance. Around 2:40 p.m. that day, Nickason got behind the wheel of the vehicle and was followed by police until he returned to the Briarwood house. As Nickason and his companion headed back to the house, they were “startled” by a police dog handler unit in the area. Two officers approached the men, but Nickason went back to the Mustang and drove through a closed gate, a
}
field and then onto Rutland Road, where he drove on the wrong side of the road and ran red lights, said Greyell. The Mustang was ultimately stopped when police used a spike belt on Rutland Road, but the court heard that Nickason ran to a nearby vehicle, smashed out the driver’s side window and then climbed over the “terrified” driver to get to the passenger seat. He was pulled out of the car by police and arrested. Nickason had told the court that he sought refuge in the car because he feared a repeat of his past experience of allegedly being assaulted by police. “I do not accept Mr. Nickason’s explanation,” said Greyell while rendering a verdict on Monday. “Mr. Nickason had many opportunities during the chase to stop in a public place and surrender to police.” Nickason, who earlier pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous driving, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and operating a motor vehicle while disqualified, was also found guilty of obstructing a police officer and attempted robbery by Greyell.

It’s a cultural phenomenon evident in virtually every major North American city: The artists move in, real estate values go up and neighbourhoods gentrify, developing into more vibrant—and costly—communities. So well documented is the trend, it’s made household names of intellectuals like Richard Florida, whose now become a media icon for his theories on attracting youth, arts and creativity to build vibrant cities. Now a group of young artists in Kelowna have decided to harness those theories, skip the waiting period and go straight to the source by actually joining forces with the real estate community to encourage growth in the downtown core. “We wanted to do this sort of rejuvenating project for the community,” explained Cory Dixon, who graduated from UBCO in fine arts this spring. With the help of local artists like Gabe Cipes, Dixon began researching how grassroots arts festivals in Kelowna have influenced real estate development, and he found there has been a strong connection over the last decade. For example, The Habitat, a popular music venue on Leon Avenue whose owners played a critical role in attracting this fall’s Western Canadian Music Awards to Kelowna, started when a group of young artists held the second Duotone Festival in the building which is now the venue. The group included Cipes and twotime council candidate Joe Gates, while Habitat owner Quinn Best was one of the artists featured in the show. “It just really showed the potential of the building,” said Gates, an artist and promoter who still works in the cultural sector. Best watched what happened and wound up purchasing the building, he said. Other Duotone sites have now been purchased and developed in a similar vein, like the old CN Railway in the North End. Gates said he actually used the gentrification argument, telling realtors and owners that allowing the music and arts festivals in would showcase their buildings. It worked well until values skyrocketed in 2006, forcing Duotone into a church. Now with the market in a holding pattern, and concern over the future of the downtown core once again in flux, Gates believes Kelowna is primed for ideas like Dixon’s or others wanting to connect real estate and culture. There are basically two ventures underway.

W WEST KELOWNA
Property tax deadline set up for last-minute rush Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The latest deadline for paying property taxes in the Central Okanagan is here. After today, anyone paying property taxes in West Kelowna will be charged a 10 per cent penalty on all taxes owing, including the amount covered by the provincial homeowner grant if the grant was not claimed prior to the deadline. Property taxes were due in Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland and the incorporated areas of the regional district July 2. According to West Kelowna officials, the usual last minute rush to pay taxes started Monday morning, with a line-up of people waiting to pay at the municipal office. Historically, they say, about twothirds of a West Kelowna’s tax revenue is collected in the last week before the property tax deadline. In addition to paying at the municipal office before the close of business today, annual property taxes can also be paid through most financial institutions (on-
line or in person), by mail or courier. But they must be paid today. Postmarks are not accepted as proof of payment date. This year, the municipality introduced the option of claiming the homeowner grant online through the municipality’s website. Residents can also pay their taxes through the website. The municipality says that while every effort is made to ensure efficient operations during this busy time of the year, delays can be minimized by taxpayers taking the following steps: • If claiming a homeowner grant in person, ensure the application that forms part of the tax notice is completed in full and signed before showing up at the tax counter. • Homeowner grants must be applied for by July 7 regardless of method of payment (ie: whether taxes are paid through pre-authorized payment plan or by a mortgage company) to avoid the 10 per cent penalty. • If paying by cheque, fill the cheque out in advance and include the property’s tax roll number on the cheque.
W JAMES FEIL
Second degree murder charge sentencing delayed The sentencing hearing for the man found guilty of the second degree murder of Tiffany Fedechko won’t take place until late September. The sentencing date was scheduled on Monday, a week and a half after James Feil was found guilty by a jury who listened to evidence presented during a two week trial. Feil, 39, strangled his 23-year-old girlfriend to death in his Thacker Drive home in October 2008. The Crown theorized that Feil became enraged after Fedechko rejected his sexual advances when
Tiffany Fedechko they returned to his West Kelowna home following a date that involved attending a Kelowna Rockets game and visiting two pubs. Feil admitted to jump on Fedechko, a 23-yearold single mother, putting
his knee on her neck and punching her in the head three or four times before she lost consciousness. He waited two days before he told police about the death. Following the jury’s verdict last month, three quarters of the jury recommended parole eligibility between 15 and 25 years for Feil. The minimum sentence for second degree murder is life in prison without parole eligibility for 10 years, a sentence the Crown is seeking. The sentencing hearing is scheduled to get underway Sept. 20.
CENOTAPH SERVICE…
A ceremony held to honour police officers who have died in the line of duty was held Monday afternoon at the Rutland Lions Park cenotaph. A new plaque attached to the cenotaph was unveiled (left) at the service, attended by Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd, Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon, MP Ron Cannan and E Division Supt. Don Harrison. “This is the first cenotaph commemoration of this kind in Kelowna or anywhere else in the Okanagan that we are aware of,” said Ron Maclaren, with the Okanagan RCMP Veterans Association. “It is an opportunity to have a memorial to police officers with others who have made the ultimate sacrifice.” SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

W ROBBERY
Pepper sprayer pleads guilty A man who produced pepper spray in three May holdups will be sentenced later this month. Steven Alan Ludbrook, 27, pleaded guilty last week to two counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery. In court on Tuesday, Ludbrook’s sentencing was scheduled for July 22. Ludbrook has admitted to the robbery at Brandt’s Creek liquor Store on the evening of May 3. In that case, police say a man tried to use a credit card to make a purchase and, when the card was refused, brandished a can of bear spray and threatened store
staff. He made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. The remaining incidents happened just a few days later. Just after 12:30 a.m. on May 7, a man with either pepper or bear spray demanded money from staff at Domino’s Pizza on Sutherland Avenue. Then, about an hour later, the Mac’s convenience store on Glenmore Road was the site of a robbery attempt by a man who produced bear or pepper spray. Ludbrook was arrested later that morning and is currently in custody.

Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
The case of a man alleged to have been involved in four robberies last week—including three in one day—is being dealt with at the courthouse for the first time on Thursday. Alfred Qua Ty, 47, was arrested Friday afternoon on Valley Road after a vehicle matching the description of one used during one of last week’s robberies was spotted by police and pulled over.
Police say Ty’s alleged robbery spree began when a man demanded cash from the till at the Liquids Liquor Store on Gordon Drive at around 12:30 p.m. on June 28. Then, just after 2 p.m. on Canada Day, man took a small amount of cash from the Allure Beauty Lounge after brandishing a knife. The third robbery attempt took place at 6:20 p.m. last Thursday when a man demanded money from the clerk at a Mohawk gas station in West
Kelowna. “The suspect left the store empty handed when the clerk didn’t believe the robbery threat to be serious,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The final robbery happened just over an hour later on July 1 at a Mac’s convenience store on KLO Road. Police say the suspect pulled out a knife and demanded money. He made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Ty was identified as a
suspect in the robberies with the help of surveillance video, police say. He’s charged with four counts of robbery and one count of possession of stolen property under $5,000. (Police allege the car he was driving had licence plates that had been stolen June 12). Ty appeared before a judicial justice of the peace over the weekend and his case is scheduled to be in the judicial case manager’s office Thursday. cweirda@kelownacapnews.com

Dearth of quality olive oil here led to entrepreneurial venture Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR
Bountiful in fresh produce and local wines, the Okanagan has become a bit of a hotspot for foodies. Its culinary charms have even prompted comparisons to the offerings of European wine regions, although one key ingredient has been missing— until Teresa Kuhn came along anyway. About two year ago, Kuhn started the Olive Oil Merchant, a Kelowna-based business aimed
at bridging a gap in Canadian cuisine by distributing oils once only accessible through a European vacation. These days, she’s rolling full steam ahead enhancing the menus of some of the best restaurants in B.C., not to mention the palates of numerous Canadians. And she started it all with a fairly simple revelation. “After living in Italy for a number of years, I’d come home to Kelowna and I would go to the market to make meals I
enjoyed in Italy. I couldn’t find quality ingredients,” she explained courtesy of a Skype connection out of her home in Italy. “The produce is, of course, fantastic. But the other stuff was never there. Olive oil bottles didn’t even have an expiration date in Canada and I realized exporters were taking advantage of Canadians’ lack of understanding.” In Mediterranean cultures, olive oil is the food equivalent of wine. Its varied flavours are considered a quintessential part of a meal, moreso than a lubri-
cant for a fry-up as is often the case in North American cooking. So, with a desire to bring the best to everevolving Canadian cuisine, she went back to Italy and started laying the foundation for the Olive Oil Merchant. And it wasn’t always easy. “If I find the olive oil in a small town in Sicily, then usually it’s only distributed in that small town,” she explained of one of the challenges she faced. “Most of the products have never been distributed outside Sicily, and

come a key ingredient to some of the finest restaurants in B.C. The chefs at Vancouver’s award winning Italian restaurant Cibo use her olive oils. As do chefs at Vancouver’s La Quercia, Kelowna’s Mission Hill and the Local Lounge and Grille in Summerland. “We met with them to find out what they were missing,” she explained of how the relationships was forged. The product has been appreciated, but Kuhn said there’s still a long way to go until it’s considered a dietary mainstay. “We’re for sure at the bottom of the learning curve when it comes to the benefits of olive oil,” she said. “A lot of people liken it to how Canadians thought of wine, 20 to 25 years ago.” That said, the health benefits are long and storied. Claims that olive oil lowers blood pressure, lessens asthma and arthritis and ensures against memory loss and cognitive decline are bountiful. “That’s one reason why people from the Mediterranean live longer,” she said.

Excessive force accusation against RCMP called charter breach Penalty from A1 Charges of possessing a firearm and unlawfully occupying a vehicle knowing a firearm was in it were dismissed Monday. Greyell noted that Nickason’s companion testified that he got the gun earlier that day and did not tell Nickason. Greyell concluded that it is a “reasonable possibility” that Nickason did not know the gun was in the car, and didn’t notice it sitting on the passenger seat while he was in an agitated state and trying to flee police. During sentencing submissions later in the day, Crown counsel David Grabavac noted Nickason has 49 previous convictions, including seven for dangerous driving-type offences, three for obstructing police and 11 for possession of stolen property. He noted that Nickason has served 765 days in custody so far, and with double credit, is entitled to credit for four years and 70 days served. Grabavac asked for a global sentence of six years, meaning Nickason would have 22 more months to serve. Using the “ladder” principle, he argued that Nickason should get a sentence of double what he did on his last sentence, which he was eight days away from finishing when he was arrested for these offences. Defence lawyer Joe Gordon questioned how Crown could justify suggesting a sentence double to what he received in 2005. Describing Nickason as a “troubled” young man “for whom there is still hope,” Gordon suggested Nickason has “already been adequately punished.” He suggested a further term of probation to allow for treatment of possible attention deficit disorder. Gordon said Nickason suffered abuse as a child at the hand of male authority figures, ended up in a series of foster homes and had been beaten by police on five previous occasions. “It plays a role in why he runs,” he said. In a constitutional argument included in the sentencing hearing, Gordon said Nickason was kicked in the ribs twice by an officer after being cuffed, and was later dragged by his cuffs, his face “literally dragging on the ground” as he was brought to a police car on
the day of his arrest. The actions were “excessive and unnecessary,” said Gordon. Gordon suggested
Nickason’s Charter rights were violated by the alleged actions of police, and said if the judge finds a Charter breach, a sen-
tence reduction would be a “just and appropriate remedy.” Grabavac, however, said the officers “did not
act with excessive force.” “They were just doing their job.” Grabavac noted differences between Nickason’s
characterization of what happened that day versus what Greyell found as fact. Nickason had a “complete misunderstanding” of the
situation, said Grabavac. The case returns to court Monday to set a sentencing date. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

ic enthusiast Gabe Cipes says he’s making progress on his idea to use cattail to clean up the oil spill off the Florida Coast— though not with British Petroleum, the company responsible for the disaster. Cipes and his partner, Dirk Stass, have been trying to promote the idea of using Cattail, a bull rushtype plant found in abundance around the world, to clean up the oil for the past two months. They say it absorbs 20-times its weight in oil, is abundant, has no commercial value to date— meaning it’s cheap—and can be used up to 10 times, with the oil squeezed out in each round remaining reusable. But their pitch is only now making headway, and only with the environmental groups involved. “It’s really confirmed some of my worst fears about the world and how it operates,” said Cipes. “The people have to stand up for ourselves.”
‘‘
IT’S REALLY CONFIRMED SOME OF MY WORST FEARS ABOUT THE WORLD AND HOW IT OPERATES. THE PEOPLE HAVE TO STAND UP FOR OURSELVES. Gabe Cipes
According to Cipes, getting BP to listen has been like beating his head against a wall. Nevertheless, he has been asked to travel to Florida by the National Wildlife Federation in early August and will present the concept to 1000 people they currently have working on the ground. In addition, the American government is said to be taking notice. On Tuesday, environmental artist Wyland, who was in Kelowna ear-

BP, and the American government, have been soliciting input from the public since this spring’s devastating oil spill, but the company itself has received some bad press for taking a slower approach to the feedback. In the Saturday, July 3, edition of the Globe and Mail, a Winnipeg-based environmental clean up company, Earth Care Products, reported they spoke with representatives from BP about their solution to use peat moss but got little response. Owner Anthony Greaves told the paper he felt BP was insistent on selling as much of the leaked oil as possible and rejected their product because it wouldn’t allow the company to do so.

GABE CIPES (right) and his partner Dirk Stass are going east in early August to pitch their cattail solution to environmentalists working on the BP oil spill crisis. The two will speak about their efforts at The Collective in downtown Kelowna on Friday. Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection is holding what amounts to auditions, inviting companies to make their pitch on how the cleanup can be accomplished. Cipes says he plans to fly down with cattail in hand, but still needs money for his partner to go— and he’s looking for sponsors. The pair run Summerhill Organics & Wildcraft, based off the family business, Summerhill Winery. Friday evening, July 9,
they will spread the word on what they are doing by making their pitch at one of the first events at The Collective, a new space for the creative community on Bernard. The event is a fundraiser. Funds will go toward The Conduit Festival, a spin off from the Duotone Festival, which was held this January in The Rotrary Centre for the Arts. Cipes was one of the masterminds for the event, but says his energy is cur-
rently focused on cattail and on saving the planet. The event will feature local band Felt Seams, and Montreal’s Copcar Bonfire as well as organic beer and wine. Doors open at 9 p.m. with a cover of $8. The Collective is located at 266 Bernard Ave. The Collective has a website with write-ups on what’s happening within the space: www.thecollectiverealty.com. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Art use of building space encouraged Spark from A1 On Bernard Avenue, realtors Shirley Ross and her father Wayne Ross, in partnership with investors Christopher Blake and Doug Lepan, have opened a permanent creative space known as The Collective (www.thecollectiverealty.com). “Our whole idea is to keep the lights on at night,” said Shirley Ross, who has a background in the arts and said her father and her have always worked in heritage. The building is situated in the older end of Bernard Avenue between Kelly O’Brien’s Neighrbourhood Pub and The Bean Scene. It will operate as a business, but with a catch. The owners are willing tto offer non-profit groups and people from the creative community space at a very minimal price or perhaps even free of charge, depending on the circumstances, in order to keep the space vibrant and active and build the kind of cultural scene they want to see in the neighbourhood. “It’s all about relationships with people,” Ross explained when asked about the money end of the business. “I want to have the conversations with people. “I have people come in looking for space for computer groups, artists, musicians. On one side of the room we’re talking about real estate development, and on the other side I’m meeting with a band.” For Dixon, it’s currently a gallery for his work, but Ross also allowed the space to be the launch point for a second real estate-artist connection. On Canada Day, The Collective hosted a kickoff event for The Grassroots Initiative, a plan to temporarily take over storefronts and other alternative spaces for temporary art exhibitions and performance spaces. For buildings which
are for sale, it might generate buyers. In buildings where the space is simply in flux, it’s hoped it will generate healthy lifestyles, eyes on the street, walking traffic and points of interest for tourists. The idea sits well with the city’s top planner. Down at city hall, community sustainability division head Jim Paterson said he’s seen this kind of thing work in other cities, like the one he just came from. In Winnipeg, the Art on the Avenue program partners the business community with the arts allowing businesses to sponsor and provide space for creative work. As such, artwork sits everywhere from an Air Canada building to the Winnipeg Parking Authority’s lots. The business association even cre-

ates a walking map of what’s going on. Paterson had noticed one local storefront in Kelowna where the papered windows had cutouts providing views of the artwork, saying how “it was really well done.” For Dixon, the initiative is also a way to exhibit art the city won’t or can’t sanction. At this spring’s Joice Hall exhibit in the Kelowna Art Gallery, for example, one portion featuring male nudes was cordoned off behind a curtain so it
capital news A9
would not be seen unless someone chose to go in. “It’s always a judgment call what we’re going to do,” said curator Liz Wylie. The portion of Hall’s work was considered “porn” because it included naked men with “large, erect penises.” “During the year we have 8,000 school children come in on buses and we don’t want teachers to have to worry,” said Wylie. Dixon believes that message might be wrong, as he has noticed the naked male body has been a sore spot before in the Okanagan, like with the installation of Penticton’s Frank the Baggage Handler. His own nudes are currently hanging in The Collective where the owners have been very open and supportive of his
work. “This initiative is an opportunity to recognize and explore the many views on the subject here in Kelowna,” he said. He has his sights set on several downtown locations for a project depicting young men in various states of undress, which would look at how culture responds to the naked male body. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

W THE HST
Incident serves as reminder about arrival of new tax Jeff Nagel CONTRIBUTOR
George Plowman just wanted to buy a phone card, but his Canada Day quest uncovered some first-day glitches with B.C.’s shift to the new harmonized sales tax. The 100 Mile House resident was trying to make the purchase in Surrey at around 10 p.m. on July 1. But three gas stations in a row were charging both the 12 per cent HST and the five per cent GST for a total of 17 per cent tax. The $50 phone card plus a $2.39 bottle of Coke ended up costing more than $61, about $2.60 more than it should have. “I finally had to buy a card so I paid for it,” he said, but lodged a complaint at the station. He later got an apology and a refund but Plow-

DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER
been unknowingly overcharged in the first couple
of days of the tax while such errors were ironed
out. “I was just so mad,” he
said. “How much money was raked in on Thursday by nobody changing their system on time?” Consumers Association of Canada spokesman Mel Fruitman said shoppers have to be watchful as the HST kicks in, particularly at smaller outlets where less work may have been done to ensure a smooth transition. “You have to be vigilant for sure to make sure you’re being charged the right rate and you’re not being double charged,” Fruitman. In other cases, customers have raised red flags where businesses are in the right. Some residents spotted entries for HST, PST and GST on their recent telephone bills and called up Telus, convinced the phone company was ripping them off. But the Telus billing cycle straddled July 1, so recent bills include HST
for advance-billed services provided in July, while GST and PST still applied before that. “There’s certainly some confusion out there,” Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said. ICBC is also correcting misinformation on the Fight HST website, which suggested the public auto insurer was skimming money by no longer issuing GST vouchers as part of settlements when a damaged vehicle is written off. In fact, ICBC now pays a 12 per cent tax allowance on the total loss when the customer buys their replacement vehicle, in effect providing the same benefit as the GST vouchers and the old PST allowance. ICBC says a totaled vehicle valued at $1,000 means the customer will get a payout of $1,120, including the allowance, towards the replacement vehicle.

Worth checking into.
For an economy such as the Thompson-Okanagan’s, which is dependent on resource industries and tourism, the impact of the economic downturn that resulted from the global financial crisis was immediate and widespread. But barring any further shocks and destabilization in key export markets, we may be out of the
woods soon. According to the BC Check-Up, Regional Edition, the Thompson-Okanagan’s economy deteriorated in 2009. The region recorded 749 fewer business incorporations, which is not surprising given tighter credit and lower investor confidence last year. While there is much to be concerned about, the region is starting to see some positive developments in 2010. When comparing
the first quarter of 2010 to that of 2009, business bankruptcies in the Thompson-Okanagan declined 24 per cent, from 17 to 13, and in Kelowna they dropped from 5 to 4. In addition, when comparing January to April 2010 to the same time period last year, the value of building permits in the region is up 52 per cent, thanks to a huge increase (139 per cent) in the value of residential permits.

nagan Regional District, which includes Kelowna and West Kelowna, the value of building permits increased by 49 per cent, again, largely due to residential permits, which saw a 241 per cent increase from $38.2 million in 2009, to $130.2 million in 2010. The Major Projects Inventory is also promising when comparing the first quarter of 2010 to that of 2009. While the total number of projects in the Thompson-Okanagan has declined from 182 to 171, the value of proposed projects is up slightly (two per cent), and the total value of projects proposed, under construction, completed, or on hold has increased to $31.3 billion from $29.8 billion. In addition, there were 86 projects worth $17.3 billion under construction in the first quarter of 2010. One holdover from the financial crisis is the number of projects on hold, which increased from 8 to 11, and the value of those projects increased from $875 million in 2009 to $1.2 billion in 2010. However, this is not much of an increase from the fourth quarter of 2009, when there were 10 proj-
ects on hold, worth $974 million. Construction is a cornerstone industry for our region, as is mining and forestry, and there are important tax changes on the horizon that will further bolster our resource industries. Although there has been much controversy surrounding the adoption of the HST, there is no question that this tax policy will have a positive impact on many of our region’s businesses. The HST will save the mining industry about $55 million annually, and the industry has identified additional millions in savings for new mine development and construction. The Council of Forest Industries has also stated that the HST will be good for forest companies. For the forest sector the HST immediately lowers operating costs and preserves cash flow. The Thompson-Okanagan’s economy is certainly not out of the woods yet, but we are starting to see a turnaround in some of the economic indicators. However, only time will tell if that recovery takes hold in our region. Karen Christiansen is a chartered accountant in Kelowna.

New funding for orchardists amounts to a slap in the face Richard Rolke CONTRIBUTOR
Okanagan orchardists knew for some time that there wouldn’t be direct payments to overcome
economic collapse, but the latest so-called government relief must still be a slap in the face. After all, the $5 million in federal and provincial dollars will do noth-
ing in the short-term to pay the bills or put food on the table. It was just back in May that B.C. Fruit Growers Association president Joe Sardinha pointed out that plum-
meting apple prices had led some orchardists into “serious financial distress. Some have seen their credit shrink.� And the timing couldn’t have been worse.

PAI-3027-ENG13 INT-1 Version 1; 14 Oct 2009
Revenue from the 2009 crop was needed for the 2010 crop to move ahead, whether it was buying chemicals for disease and pest control or paying people to thin or eventually harvest the fruit. Money doesn’t grow on trees, and like other businesses, orchardists require an infusion of cash to remain active and, if not profitable, at least stable. The $10 million the BCFGA sought in direct payments for individual growers didn’t seem like much when you consider what the industry provides in return. The valley’s 809 growers generate almost $900 million in economic activity and directly employ 1,505 people at the grower, packer and processing level. All of these people then go grocery shopping, buy new vehicles, go to the movies or purchase homes. Beyond this, the value of having food grown right at home is immeasurable, while orchards
add to the esthetics of the Okanagan. Now don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with the $5 million senior government coughed up last week. An increased focus on marketing, packinghouse infrastructure and pest management is definitely a good thing, although how many times do Okanagan Valley residents need to be told to purchase local fruit? But no matter how well intentioned this plan is, there won’t be an immediate surge in consumer sales overnight. Growers won’t see their returns climb any time soon because of the $5 million. So as the wait for the potential long-term benefits begins, growers will continue to struggle dayto-day from the cost of production outstripping prices. The reality is some family farms won’t survive under a mounting pile of bills. It’s still not known why officials wouldn’t fund direct payments, but
it’s likely they wanted to avoid a perception of subsidies, although the $5 million could certainly fall under that category. Ultimately, orchardists were only interested in a hand up, not a hand out, to overcome circumstances not of their making. In fact, Ottawa bears some responsibility because other countries continue to dump cheap fruit into Canada, while provincial policies tie farmers to land that can’t be used for any other, potentially profitable, purposes. In announcing the $5 million investment, Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Stockwell Day stated, “This investment will allow the tree fruit industry to find new technologies that will help them stay ahead of the curve in the global market.� Hopefully that public relations rhetoric comes to pass, but there may not be many orchardists left around to enjoy it.

W AGRICULTURE
Lavender herb farm undergoes expansion A local farm devastated by the winter of 2008 has forged ahead with a major expansion to continue farming. Okanagan Lavender Herb Farm is a small family farm located in rural South Kelowna. Originally growing apples, it made the transition to lavender and vinifera grapes in 1998—10 years later, the grapes experienced extensive winter damage from the extreme cold of 2008. Having experienced more interest in products produced from a variety of herbs, and being faced with new processing regulations from Health Canada, the decision was made to expand the herbs and gardens at the farm into another 2 1/2 acres and to build a new facility to dry, process and sell the products. Owners David and Andrea McFadden, looked to the local talent pool to steer them through this large undertaking. Site 360 landscape architect, Ben Walker, created the free-flowing design for the new site and tied it into the mature plantings. Guy Gant, of Zerra
Waterscapes, brought the central water feature to fruition. The expertise of Cathy Fuller, The Gardening Guru, was called upon to recommend drought tolerant, perennial grasses to fill in the spaces. Shane Worman of Worman Homes has done the design and build for the new facility and was able to capture and maintain the quaint atmosphere of the current buildings at the farm. The McFaddens attended the First International Lavender Growers Conference in Cambridge, England, in September 2009, which had a significant influence on the expansion of the farm. Also attending the conference as one of the speakers was UBCO research professor Soheil Mahmoud, who has provided the farm with invaluable assistance in the evaluation of their pure lavender essential oils over the past several years. The farm has built a reputation as growers, producers and distillers of fine quality lavender products. Having distilled the
lavender since 2004, rose water was distilled in 2009 and was a great success. The new plantings include Linden trees, the flowers of which are distilled and used in the cosmetic industry. The purpose of the expansion was to fill the space with herbs and aromatic plants to be harvested and used in the farm’s growing line of culinary and bath products produced on site. The farm and gardens are open daily until the end of November. Visitors are invited to enjoy a self-guided tour of the farm. The new building has incorporated a viewing area so customers can see staff making the products at the farm. A spectacular Okanagan view awaits them from the covered deck of the new facility. The transition to the new building will be during the last week of July. The Okanagan Lavender Herb Farm is located at 4380 Takla Rd. in East Kelowna. For more information about the lavender farm call 250-764-7795.

Inductees named to Hall of Fame Mike Simmons CAPITAL NEWS
SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
DON ARNOLD as his induction into the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame is
A few of the many lives lived in sport were enshrined this year in the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame. Director Pat Kennedy said the Hall of Fame continues to honour the area’s athletes, coaches and teams since its inception in 2008. “Our job is to showcase our rich sports history,” Kennedy said in announcing the 2010 inductees on Tuesday. They include Olympic rowing champion Don Arnold, minor baseball pioneer Henry Tostenson, the Teddy Bears senior womens basketball team, football player Jay Christensen and field hockey coach Mervyn Andrews. Hall of Fame chairman Dr. Barry Urness said the Hall of Fame was excited and privileged to add this year’s inductees. “You are mentors. You are inspirations.”
DON ARNOLD
Arnold said being in-
announced.
ducted was an honour. The rower began his career in 1955 and took part in a string of Canadian rowing championships over the next five years. The first year Arnold and his crew competed in eastern Canada, they shattered a world record. During competition, many of the teams were hoping to qualify for the Olympics. Arnold’s crew was told to give their opponents plenty of space, as they had never been defeated. Rowing at just under 40 strokes a minute, Arnold’s crew proceeded to do just that. The effort was enough. “We happened to win by 500 metres,” he said. Arnold took part in winning Canada’s first ever gold medal at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne and a silver in Rome in 1960, the only medal for Canada in the Games that year. “It’s been a very exciting journey.”
HENRY TOSTENSON
Kennedy noted Tostenson was instrumen-

tal to the growth of minor baseball in Kelowna, and responsible for the original lighting at Elks Stadium. Tostenson said he worked together with Jack Brow over the years as they prepared the baseball diamonds and playing fields for use. His baseball career began in the 1940s, and he continued to play during the summers, switching to basketball in the winter. Tostenson had a friend who worked with the Packers hockey team. He encouraged his friend to look for hockey players with baseball ability when recruiting for the team. As Tostenson’s youngest son began to take part in Little League, he real-
ized there was no formal baseball for his son to join after that. Cloning the Babe Ruth baseball organization as it was found in the Lower Mainland, Tostenson provided the opportunity for kids to keep playing baseball after they hit 12 years old. “My son grew up with me in that baseball league.”
JAY CHRISTIANSEN
Christiansen pointed out that as time passes, the athletics side of a career goes by the wayside. He said it is the people you surround yourself with that often come to mind. He said he was surprisingly overwhelmed by the nomination. Christiansen noted he went to the same high school as 2009 inductee and triathlon champion Joanne Ritchie. He was a Grade 8 student, and looked up to Ritchie as a school athlete. The 2010 inductees into the Hall of Fame will be feted in a ceremony this November. msimmons @kelownacapnews.com

Work ahead for Sun players at training camp CAPITAL NEWS
The players of the Okanagan Sun football team have hard work ahead of them as training camp picks up to full steam. Head coach Peter McCall said the team went through standardized testing Monday night and on to training for full days Tuesday to Friday. The week finishes off with an exhibition scrimmage on Saturday afternoon. McCall said players go through a standard set of tests, done on football players from the Sun level all the way up to the NFL. Players perform a 40-yard dash, a vertical jump, bench press, agility test and a standing broad jump. “It’s a pretty good indicator who’s been training during the off season.” He noted coaching staff have seen a lot of the players run before, but there is still some gauging

During the week, McCall throws the players into a day that includes game warm ups, individual work, one-on-one player training, conditioning and a team session. The training itself is a standard affair, as the Sun prepares its players to execute strategies during the season. With three weeks to the first regular season game, McCall said the training gives the coaching staff a chance to get the players up to speed on all their systems. Players only receive a couple of days off during the three weeks of intensive preparation. There is a lot of information to absorb. McCall said knowing the strategies is not the only result he needs to see from the training camp. “You want to see them gelling, you want to see execution.” McCall noted that the Sun has a number of players that work together locally in the off season, as well as many who come from out of town.
As the team gels, they should be able to execute plays on the fly with proper timing. “There’s so much strategy in football, so much timing.” Preparation and a focus on the basics are core to McCall’s philosophy. “I’m a fundamentalist to the bone…that’s what we’ll be doing.” Last year was a learning experience for the head coach as well, as he got to know the Sun coaching staff and other members of the organization on the fly. He noted that he now is more familiar with the close to 70 people in the organization. “Seventy guys is a lot of guys to get to know and motivate on a personal level.” McCall said he has had the chance to be involved in recruiting and is excited to be able to lead by example. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

W ATHLETICS
Jack Brow Meet now a world track & field event The Jack Brow Memorial Track Meet drew close to 500 athletes from all over the world to the newly reconditioned Apple Bowl. Teams from Australia and the Yukon participated along with athletes from Alberta and B.C. at the annual event on July 3. Kelowna Track and Field Club spokesperson Marnie Douglas said the meet was well-attended. She noted there were several positive comments from athletes on the renovations to the Apple Bowl. rThe high jump pit has
been moved off the grass completely, away from its previous location in the end zone of the football area. Douglas said the meet is not used as a fundraising event. T-shirts sold and a gift basket draw brought in a little extra money for the club to support coaches when they travel to meets elsewhere. “For us, we are always travelling. Athletes are always travelling.” Organization of the annual event is taken care of by club volunteers. Douglas noted the club always
calls on the parents of athletes to help out, and there was no shortage of assistance. “It’s a big event to put on for a group of volunteers, but we seem to pull it off every year.” Douglas noted 14-year-old Kelowna athlete Aaron Stroda pulled down a 14.66 metre distance in the shot put, considered the furthest in his age category. “It’s essentially the longest any 14-year-old boy has thrown.”

Jays come close to taking key game from top Seattle team Only one obstacle stood between the Kelowna Jays and a Canada Day Baseball Blast trophy last week. The Seattle Studs faced down Kelowna in the final game on July 1. Seattle is considered one of the top semi-pro teams in the Northwest. That status came into question as the Jays notched the first run at three innings. Seattle responded in the fifth inning to tie it up. The game could have gone anywhere from there, but a key error by the Jays, with two out and the bases loaded, opened the floodgates. Four runs for the Studs set the game at its final score of 5-1, and Seattle walked away with the title. A runner-up spot is still a strong performance for the Jays. The number of teams in the league and the calibre of play have both increased this year. On their way to the final, Kelowna disposed of the #3 seed Coquitlam An-

No ‘snap of the finger’ results in a golf career Kathy Michaels CAPITAL NEWS
If she manages to stay the course, one of Kelowna’s top young golfers could bask in the 2016 Olympic glow. “It’s the first year golf is included in The Games,” explained Kyla Inaba, 23, fresh off a seventh place finish in last week’s B.C. Women’s Amateur Golf Championship. “Golfers tend to blossom when they’re 26, 27 —so it could be a good time span for me.” While Olympic dreams are overly ambitious for many, Inaba has seen some major successes in the sport she picked up just eight years ago. “I started fairly late for a typical junior golfer,” she said. “I’m pretty athletic…I could hit the ball far right off the bat.” And turning that skill into an overall strong game, came with some major incentives. “The whole thing with junior golf is that everyone is trying to get a scholar-
ship to go to school. I figured I was good enough to go, so I ended up going to UBC in Vancouver, played with Thunderbirds for four years.” With scholarship in hand, she honed her game and now her focus is on making golf a living. “In a few years I would love to see myself on the LPGA,” she said, explaining that means she’ll have to jump through a series of golfing hoops, just like Kelowna LPGA contribution, Samantha Richdale. “She’s a real trail blazer,” said Inaba, noting that the competition to get to Richdale’s level is stiff, but she’s focusing her efforts at rising above the fray. And so far, it looks like it’s working. Of the six or so B.C. amateur events she’s played, Friday’s finish is the highest she’s attained and it didn’t happen just because she capitalized on her ability to send the ball flying far. “I was really prepared this week mental-
ly,” she said. “I visualized the shots I had to hit, and I stayed in the present. I didn’t let any negative thoughts get to me.” As she explained it, once you start rising to the top, head-space is key. “At that point, everyone can hit the ball, it’s just a matter of who’s mentally toughest,” she said, adding she had been to a performance counsellor, Jim Murphy, and he imbued her with the knowledge to take her game to the next level. “He taught us to think that we play because we love the game, instead of being results oriented.” So with that in mind, she’ll hit elite amateur level events that pit golfers from across Canada against each other. Then there are developmental mini-tours, which are down in the Phoenix and Florida areas. Then there’s the brass ring—the LPGA tour. “It’s a process, it really doesn’t happen at the snap of a finger,” she said.

A threesome tied with 21 points which included Louis Sbrozzi, Adam Fik and Randy Ledyard. Week nine saw the tour overall leader since the very first night, Garrett Brisbourne, drop to the No. 2 spot as Adam Fik jumped into first overall with 21 points on the day and an overall total of 151, nine points ahead of now second place Brisbourne.

Falcons win 1st of season The Kelowna Falcons have won their first series of the season by defeating the Wenatchee Applesox in their own backyard. Two 5-3 wins this past weekend over the defending champions gave the Falcons a record of 9-15. The end of their successful nine game road trip put the Kelowna team in third spot of the WCL’s East Division, 4.5 games back of the Applesox and 1.5 games behind the second-placed Moses Lake Pirates. The Falcons also chalked up wins in the U.S. in Bend and Corvallis. Head coach Kevin Frady was pleased overall with the trip, but noted there is still room for the team to improve. t “I thought we played fairly well.” Frady noted that at times during the series, Falcon pitching was outstanding but batr
ting failed to shine as brightly. The dynamic would reverse the following night, with weak pitching and strong batting. “Consistency is so important in baseball, and we’re trying to get these players to buy into that. For most of these players, this is their first taste of a professional schedule—playing every day, being at the yard taking extra batting practise and ground balls—and they need to be consistent in their work ethic. “I’m excited to see how far they’ve come.” The team began the first of six home games on July 5, with three games against the Bend Elks and a weekend grouping against the Cowlitz Black Bears at Kelowna’s Elks Stadium. More information and the full game schedule can be found online at www.kelownafalcons.com.
Kelowna struggles against strong Surrey The provincial A Cup final was hotly contested between Interior and Coastal soccer champions in Kamloops on July 4. Spokesperson Jan Prochazka said Kelowna United boys U14 played nervously during the first half, under pressure from a strong Surrey Guildford United team. He noted the Surrey squad controlled most of the first half due to ball possession and good passing. The Lower Mainland team took an early lead with back-to-back goals, adding a third goal off a penalty kick. “However, Kelowna United did finally penetrate the opposition end, with mid-fielder Matt Droguett making a brilliant cross from the right side into the box, finding fellow midfielder Dom Haynes, who headed the ball neatly into the back of the net.” Surrey quickly countered to lead 4-1 at halftime. Kelowna regrouped and came out with more energy, but struggled to get past the Surrey midfield. The Lower Main-
land squad capitalized on their disadvantage and potted another two goals. Late in the second half, Kelowna forward Liam Duncan netted a second goal for the Interior. With the final score 6 to 2 for Surrey, Kelowna United returned with a silver medal in the provincial A Cup final.
Coach Tony Overton said he was pleased with the performance of the team throughout the season. He noted how well the boys played in the second half. Overton added they showed great courage and determination in competing with a strong coastal team. The Kelowna United
girls U15A team also came just shy of the provincial A championship due to strong play by Surrey Guildford. Prochazka said the Surrey keeper had to work hard during the first half, staving off shots by Taylor Lowenberg, Elisa Joyce and Devon Weaden. The game was scoreless at half-time, a trend that con-

Columnist to host two upcoming garden and landscape seminars
H
ave you ever wondered why some landscapes just jump out at you with great curb appeal? A lot of it is just about adhering to some basic principles of layout, plant selection and putting the right plant right place. On Wednesday July 21, I will be conducting two seminar/workshops at the UBCO campus. The first, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., is geared to homeowners who want to participate in their own landscape project. It will also be a valuable learning experience for landscapers who are relatively new in the business. The four-hour session, called Landscape Design for Okanagan Gardeners, will cover all aspects of a landscape project from the planning stage to installation. The second session,

Safety in the outdoors Sam Erickson CONTRIBUTOR
It is easy to see how the kitchen and bathroom might be dangerous places in your home, but few people realize that the lawn and garden can actually cause injury as well. Here are a few tips to keep you and your family safe while you are working or playing in the yard. Lawn maintenance is an important part of any homeowner’s to-do list. Check your lawn on a regular basis for rabbit or mole holes that can create an uneven turf. Check the area before you mow for stones, toys or anything that might blow up from the bottom of the mower. When mowing, wear long pants to protect your shins and ankles from anything coming out of the mower. If you are using an electric mower or weedeater, be sure your cord is in good shape with
no nicks or fraying. A heavy-duty extension cord will stand up better to the rigors of working in the yard. It is very important to let the engine cool down if you run out of gas. Gasoline vapors can easily catch fire. Sometimes it is necessary to use chemicals to maintain that perfect lawn. Anything labeled “caution,” “warning” or “danger” should be kept out of the sight and reach of children, preferably on a high shelf under lock and key. Keep these products in the bottle they came in. That way, you’ll always know what your chemicals are and have access to the directions on the back. Falls are actually a frequent source of danger outside the home as well as inside. Be sure your walkways are in good repair and keep them well lit at
night. Handrails should extend from the bottom to the top of all stair sections to add some stability. The pool is another dangerous place in the home. Everyone who uses the pool should be able to swim, and children should never be left unattended while swimming. They are poisonous and can catch on fire. Keeping them dry and away from other chemicals can keep you safe. Inside the home, there are discreet areas that can be dangerous like the kitchen and bath. In the great outdoors, the world can involve a lot more dangers from chemicals, machines or just the yard itself. Outdoor safety is really about keeping your mind on all of the things that could possibly go wrong. Use these tips to keep your family safe wherever they are.
Lighting tips for your dream home Are you dissatisfied with the current look and feel of your home? Is it just not living up to your dreams? Are you always thinking about being somewhere else? That’s really no way to live. A home should be a place you look forward to coming to. If your home isn’t quite the way you want it to be, you don’t have to make major changes or think about moving. You can make a few changes to the lighting in order to change the way the home feels. Your first step is to pay attention to natural light. You really want to take care with all of the light you can without buying anything new. Pay attention to how the light moves through your house
during the day. Can you add a mirror to help move light around your home? Can you remove some heavy drapes? Shutters, blinds or light drapes can allow much more light into the room without compromising your privacy. Think about a lighter set of drapes for summer and a heavier set for winter. If you have big plans, you can change the flooring. Carpets will absorb light, while polished marble or hardwood floors will reflect light and brighten a room. Once you’ve maximized your natural light, it’s time to start thinking about your electric lighting. Fluorescent lighting is popular for general lighting in large areas, but it’s white and can make
everything look lifeless. Think about adding warm shades or moving away from fluorescent lighting to enrich the atmosphere. Halogen lights can be used to give a softer, more flattering glow. General lighting is important, but accent and task lighting can really allow you to control the light and mood. Spotlights can help draw attention to certain items, like a jaw-dropping painting or delicate plant. These days, many cabinets come with interior lighting so you can highlight your collection of silver spoons, bells or classic dolls. You can also highlight a seating area and take the focus off wallpaper you don’t necessarily like.

Downtown crosswalks give pedestrians the green light Why did the pedestrian cross Bernard Avenue without pressing the crosswalk button? Because it’s safe to do so now that the “walk” signal automatically appears when the traffic light changes. Until now, the pedestrian “walk” commands only worked when activated by pressing the buttons installed in light standards at each corner of an intersection. Pressing the button also affected the length of the traffic light cycle. “Now, the ‘walk’ signal comes on when the green light comes on,” said City of Kelowna traffic supervisor Fred Wollin. “Drivers can clearly see the pedestrians have the right of way and it’s easier for pedestrians to

see when and where they can cross.” He said visitors and residents were sometimes unaware they needed to press the button to get the “walk” command. This sometimes led to lastsecond dashes across the street or caused pedestri-
ans to wait for another full light cycle before crossing. So far, only downtown Bernard Avenue intersections have been changed. Intersections on Leon and Lawrence Avenues from Water to Ellis Streets will change later this summer. In the interest of efficient traffic flow, however, not all intersections in the city can work this way. Crosswalks with less foot traffic than downtown are best managed by the pedestrian activated signals. If no pedestrian activates the crosswalk commands at an intersection, the light cycle changes more quickly and allows vehicles to pass through the intersection with shorter waits. As a reminder, the audible crosswalk signals only sound when the sig-

Gout is an extremely painful condition that can effect people of all races and ages. It can effect both men and women but it is more common in men. It is uncommon in children and young adults. Gout used to be considered a problem for the rich, kings, gentry, and others who ate too much and drank too much wine. Some people have a genetic predisposition due to a disorder of purine metabolism. In these individuals attacks of gout can be triggered by eating foods high in purines and by consuming high quantities of alcohol. Others can have secondary gout. Secondary gout is associated with another medical condition such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, certain medications, particularly diuretics (water pills), salicylates (aspirin), and niacin. Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood which settlles out as uric acid crystals in the joints. This causes pain, redness, and swelling. Any joint can be involved. Classic signs of gout are pain, redness, and swelling in the big toe or elbow. The pain can be both chronic or can present suddenly. A number of therapies are available. Some more successful than others. SciMed Research is starting a research trial to evaluate a new investigational therapy to lower uric acid, the cause of gout. If you have been diagnosed with or suffer from gout symptoms you may qualify to participate in this research trial. Please call SciMed Research to register for a no cost obligation consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this gout study.

If you suffer from Grass Allergies, you may have had a reasonable May and June because of all the rain, but don’t expect to be so lucky in July. The symptoms of grass allergies; sneezing, runny, itchy nose and irritated eyes are all from contact with the grass pollen. Grass in the Okanagan pollinates in May, June and early July. When you have a grass allergy, your body sees the grass pollen as a foreign substance and reacts against it to get it out of your system. The sneezing, runny nose and tearing are symptoms that your body is trying to remove this foreign and offending grass pollen from your body. You can consider these symptoms as protective responses during the grass allergy season. There are many effective over the counter remedies: antihistamines, decongestants and eye rinses. Allergy shots generally produce a more permanent benefit. Scimed Research is now recruiting for 50 grass allergy sufferers to help evaluate a new investigational medication for grass allergy sufferers. Call us TODAY! and plan to attend one of our information sessions to determine if this study would be suitable for you at 778-436-9210.

W OUR VIEW
Ending the crime cycle
T
he criminal justice system is often referred to as a revolving door. For repeat offenders, it’s an apt description. If they do get jail time, many are back in court shortly after getting out, and the cycle is repeated, much to the frustration of police, and the public. Behind the pattern is often usually a drug habit. A chronic shoplifter’s story, for example, is one that is
shared by many other prolific offenders. They commit crimes such as break-ins and thefts, to feed an addiction. There may be other factors involved as well, such as peer pressure or mental health. While some would argue most prison sentences are too light, incarceration, regardless of length, does not address the root causes behind prolific criminal activity. In fact, sometimes it exacerbates the situation.
MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212
That has been recognized by the RCMP, and other authorities, who are now focusing on a different strategy—one which identifies prolific offenders, and works to find ways to break the cycle, and rehabilitate the individuals. Obviously, that’s a major benefit to society—and the people who repeatedly offend —if they can be set on a crimefree path of life, rather than being a social burden on multiple
levels, not the least of which include huge police, court and prison costs. Approximately 50 per cent of crime in B.C. is committed by only 10 per cent of offenders, according to recent crime statistics. Clearly, this is an issue that warrants acute police attention, but supported with strategies that work toward a long-term fix, instead of putting the problem through a revolving door.

group. But no matter who wins in court, the fight over HST is a long way from over. Last week, as the final Fight HST petition numbers were released, I tried to get comments from our three local MLAs. Only one would talk. While Ben Stewart, Steve Thomson and Norm Letnick support the HST, they are also named on a 24MLA “hit list” issued by Fight HST. It is targeting Liberal MLAs who may be subject to recall campaigns. Only Stewart would comment. (Letnick had his assistant tell me he was in meetings and could not re-
spond that day and neither Thomson nor his people responded to my request. One week later, they still haven’t.) Stewart, to his credit, did. He faced the question straight on. If voters in Westside-Kelowna want him out over the HST, that’s up to them. But, he says, the tax is good for B.C.’s economy, will help create jobs and spur economic investment. He doesn’t think the government failed to sell the HST to the public—it was not allowed to do so by Elections B.C. And, a full week before Fight HST’s legal challenge to the tax, Stewart admitted the government did not introduce a new tax, it simply ta-
bled legislation to rescind an existing tax, the PST. So if there was no HST legislation at the provincial level, is this, in fact, a federal tax? If it is, who approved it for B.C. consumers? Could they do it without getting approval from the B.C. Legislature? And, if it is a federal tax, can B.C. residents turf it via provincial initiative legislation? It appears both Fight HST and the business group have grounds to make their respective cases. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

HST on funerals: Teach protesters a We’re working lesson with ‘no fly’ list for the Taxman To the editor: Kathy Michaels reported that when the 12 per cent HST was implemented, funerals became subject to an extra seven per cent tax. (Pre-HST Rush on Business for Mortuaries, July 2 Capital News) Prior to July 1, funerals had “only” been subject to five per cent GST, not the seven per cent PST. The Beatles’ song Taxman comes immediately to mind, which could easily become the new campaign theme for the
BC Liberals, if the song’s mention of “five per cent” is changed to “12 per cent.” “Should 12 per cent appear too small Be thankful I don’t take it all... Now my advice for those who die Declare the pennies on your eyes Cause I’m the taxman Yeah, I’m the taxman And you’re working for no one but me.” David Buckna, Kelowna
To the editor: What to do with the detained (G8/G20) protesters, and do it without cost to the taxpayer, and still punish them to stop the legal demonstrations? Let us find out how good the “no fly” list really works. Put their names on the no fly list, don’t charge them with anything (that will just tie up the courts and cost us more money). The no fly list is a legal list to all airlines. Once on the list, give the protester one oar if the next meeting is in Europe or Asia and show them the way there
by a map of the Atlantic or Pacific and a row boat. Or if it’s in North America or Mexico, give them a worn-out, one-geared bike. They won’t have to go to jail or court at our expense, but they won’t be protesting too far away from home either, or holidaying for that matter. Let them try to get off the no fly list at their own expense. I think the no fly list can really help us—it is a computer check so it won’t cost the airline any extra money, most of them don’t fly often anyway so
the airline is not losing big bucks by not letting them board. Do this listing two or three times and the protesters will all soon be grounded, or think twice about protesting. Problem solved without jail time and court time and at no cost to the tax payers, thanks to the no fly list. These protesters are unlikely to travel to other events as well to do their legal assembling and vocal harassment. Ron Renneberg, Kelowna
Rules for animal safety should be stronger A number of people have called Dog Control, the SPCA and the RCMP to voice their concern but it seems no one can do anything because the dog is not in distress or considered at large. Dog Control would not attend as they can only respond to complaints of a dog at large or if it is aggressive or attacks. None of these conditions applied to the husky in the pickup—so nothing they could do. The SPCA also attended but there was nothing they could do because the dog was not in obvious distress. They do not have the authority to remove the dog, only the RCMP could do so. The RCMP have been notified and have spoken with the young men who appeared to

To the editor: I have photos that show the plight of one husky dog and paint a picture of the ridiculous rules, regulations and bylaws that we have for animal welfare. This poor animal has called the back of a pickup truck home for most of the past two or three weeks, parked on Manhattan Drive near the Tolko mill site. It is left to fend for itself every evening, until someone comes to let it out to relieve itself. Come rain or shine, this has been its compound. There have been many times when there was no water. Last week they built a small shelter over the back of the pickup so at least the dog had some protection from the weather.

own the pickup and the dog, and decided that this was an OK and that the owner was being responsible. I find the whole affair with animal welfare in this country to be sorely lacking. Why do we have to wait until the animal is severely distressed or abused before we can do anything? A note, supposedly from the owner, said “sorry for the inconvenience” and that they are heading home (to Quebec based on the license plate on the pickup?). So how this story finishes we will never know but let’s hope it doesn’t happen again. Sarah Lewis, Kelowna

So many make Canada Day concert a success To the editor: After a nail-biting start, it was a great relief to be able to go ahead with the Kelowna Pops Orchestra Canada Day Spectacular concert. I would like to thank everyone who attended. In the spring we hold a young musicians’ competition and the winners are invited to be guest artists for the concert. The orchestra is made up of professional, adult volunteer and student musicians. They attend a free two-day workshop under conductor Leonard Camplin before performing for the public. The concert was wonderful. Emcee Mike Roberts kept the evening flowing smoothly with his easy banter. Melina Moore has an
exceptional voice and had the audience eating out of her hand. I am always blown away by the quantity and quality of the young musicians that we have in the valley. Alicia and Colleen Venables are only 16 and 13 but the performance they put on was mature beyond belief. This year’s competition winners were Nicholas Denton and Janiel Filipiak. Nicholas played a cello piece that was just startling. It was certainly an educational moment, I have never seen a cello played like that before. Janel Filipiak, at 11, was our youngest guest artist. I think this charming young lady will go far in the future. It was a pleasure to welcome Nicholas Ur-
quhart back as our guest conductor. This exceptional concert would not be possible without the donation of the use of the building by the City of Kelowna and the dedication of the directors of The Kelowna Canada Day Concerts Society. We also have to thank the Kelowna Hostesses and everyone else who helped us to put this concert together and the businesses that supported us by advertising in our programme. Our media sponsors Capital News, Castanet and Q103.1 were a great help publicizing the event. We also appreciated the fact that all the media were supportive of the concert. Votes of thanks go to stage manager Ernie Webber and his team and to the
helpful staff of Prospera Place. It was reassuring to have the support and encouragement of our MP Ron Cannan and our three MLAs. I hope you all enjoyed
yourselves and will come back next year—bringing an extra friend. Barry Yeats, president Kelowna Canada day Concerts Society

The trees and gardens reap their delicious bounty filled with whole nutrition; the stress of winter is all but a faded memory; life itself, we realize more than ever, is a gift. On a summer evening, watch the kids play out on the back lawn as the twilight begins to blanket the final hours of the day, and ask yourself what is more healing than that?

John Sherman ly only meant for your parents. In an instant these healing thoughts from the past are so powerful that they can remove you from your current time and place. I am not suggesting that we all live our life in the past, whiling away the time with thoughts of glory days gone by, however, remembering that life itself has the ability to heal is important. Memories have healing properties and can act as a relaxant, an uplifting
tonic and they can also bring you into the present with a solution or remedy to what currently ails you. Not all memories are happy and some of them can set some people back or even hold them back from getting on with life and that also affects the health. Like medicine the correct prescription is what gives them healing properties. This concept is not an unusual one and does not require anyone to agree or disagree, believe or disbelieve; it just is. Homeopathic medicine is also based upon the principal of the healing power of memories. In essence, homeopathy is the effect of cellular memory that holds the potency of the medicine combined with other energetic principles.
Does this mean that we create memories with the intention of healing or do we let them come to us holistically creating their healing properties in a subtle manner? I guess the answer is only for you to find for yourself. I remember years ago when I was living up in the Yukon, I had the opportunity to work as a home care aide with seniors.
Some of my duties included visiting the homes of seniors and assisting them with meals and such. There was this one lady that I still remember who had advanced short term memory loss. I always had to introduce myself to her and tell her why I was there. She would then ask me if I would like her to play the piano. I would always say yes.
Without any sheet music, she would play and play and it was almost flawless. She would look up from the piano with absolute clarity; she was in a healing place. The foundation of her life came before she knew me, her healing memories that possibly helped her in the now and likely could have transported her to a dimension where she still lived in her youth.

It is a very complex injury as it can result from a variety of causes, both non-traumatic such as stroke and drug or alcohol abuse, as well as traumatic causes such as motor vehicle crash, assaults and sports,” said Sean Pihl, of Pihl Law Corporation. “Our firm has handled many personal injury cases relating to brain injury and we see how brain injury can affect both the individual, as well as everyone associated with the individual. The best cure is prevention, in fact an astounding 90 per cent of brain injuries are preventable. “We value the work of BrainTrust Canada and their efforts to raise awareness of brain injury prevention and are pleased to partner with them once again for this very important cause.” “Although 100 holes of golf sounds very intimidating, it is actually the ‘ultimate’ day on the course for any golfer,” said Magda Kapp, social marketing manager for BrainTrust Canada. “This year, we are at the Bear course, where golfers will be treated throughout the day with fun and refreshments, including a barbeque lunch supplied by Karen Guy of Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty and M&M Meat Shops at Harvey Avenue. Kapp said a maximum of 45 golfers can participate in the event, and there is still a few golfer spots available. BrainTrust Canada is a progressive community rehabilitation organization dedicated to being a leader in injury prevention, as well as maximizing independence for persons with brain injury.

Art of threading off facial hair comes to Kelowna STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
I
Maxine DeHart
f you have never heard of “threading,” or know of it but not sure where to find that service offered, makeup artist Sharlene Kjorven is the person to look for in downtown Kelowna. Kjorven has opened Shar Skincare and Rouge, at 101-353 Ellis St. Threading is the technique of removing facial hair that is a cross between tweezing and waxing, widely used in Middle East countries. Kjorven specializes is threading for anything neck up, along with eyelash and eyebrow tinting. She has been a makeup artist and instructor for 14 years, and also worked with Holt Renfrew for 10 years. Her salon also offers exclusive makeup and skincare lines which are physician grade. She also offers makeup applications for special events, lessons, and bridal make ups along with education seminars, the next one being in September on the topic of complexion. I had the experience of trying threading on my eyebrows. It’s fast and easy with great results. Call 778-478-9707; www. sharskincareandrouge. com. Georg Rieder celebrates his 20th anniversary this year at Guisachan House Restaurant, 1060 Cameron Ave. Reider came to Kelowna from Cranbrook in 1986, starting his popular catering company. In 1990, he took over the Guisachan House Restaurant. After a fire, the restaurant reopened in April, 2009 and is open seven days a week. Call 250862-9368. The Royal Canadian Legion Board members
and volunteers have received the Spirit of Kelowna Award for the many events the Legion branch hosts, their significant fundraising efforts and for recently putting on a dinner for more than 400 vets with more than 50 years of military service. You “gotta” try this new pizza shop called DunnEnzies Pizza Co., owned/operated by Karyn MacKenzie and Deb Dunnigan (hence the name) at 1559 Ellis St., (between Bernard and Lawrence). They offer take-out and delivery service. The two gals recently relocated here from Calgary. They along with their cook Darryl Stern welcome you with great enthusiasm, showing their passion for their product and new business. So what’s so different about their pizza? It’s a traditional New York style; soft inside and crunchy outside. The dough and sauces are home-made and the ingredients are fresh and local. We tried the Fugh-Gedda-BoutIt and the Skinny Vinny (New York style names) and they were both fantastic. They serve both traditional pizza (ham and pineapple) and Infamous Pizzas such as the Soprano with prosciutto, grilled asparagus, roasted garlic and three cheese blend. They also offer gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options, along with salads, Italian subs, calzones and baked wings. If you are on the go, there is a small counter with chairs.

W WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN
DKA biz patrol is back on duty Jan Johnson CONTRIBUTOR
H ave you been downtown yet and noticed the gorgeous flower barrels in front of many of the businesses? What a pretty sight to see the bright colours on the streets. The Downtown Kelowna Association has outdone themselves again this year in making the barrels and baskets visually stunning. More signs of summer as the DKA’s Biz Patrol is also out again. The patrol is divided into two main groups. The “Biz Concierge Team” wear yellow shirts
and can be found in Kerry Park, staffing the DKA Info Cart. They act as downtown ambassadors and give business referrals, restaurant recommendations, shopdirections…and just about any other info that tourists or locals might want. The second group is the “Clean Team,” outfitted in the blue shirts. They’re responsible for poster and graffiti removal, street sweeping and general tidying to keep our downtown looking lovely. If you members from either of these patrol groups out working hard in the downtown core, be
sure to say “hi” and thank them for all their efforts. On the retail scene, Chantal Couture moved her amazing store, Funktional, last month, switching locations from north Ellis Street to the centre of the downtown action at 447 Bernard Ave. (near Mosaic Books). She tells me it’s been a great move as she’s already noticed lots more foot traffic. From the stunning chartreuse storefront to the modern urban interior, the new store is a delight. I love the pressed wood floors, very funky looking and much softer underfoot than concrete.

Against clean white walls, splashes of colour sprout everywhere as Funktional features a myriad of wonderful items for your home or personal use. From smaller items like keychains to larger ones like artwork, it’s all unique and fun. There’s well-priced jewelry, hand-picked by Couture; some of it is even by local and B.C. artists. There’s colourful kitchenware, garden items, wall art by local artist Meghan Wise, as well as Natasha Harvey and Abbie Kootchin. There are even some stunning photo manipulation pieces by Chantal that will amaze you. This is a place you’ll want to visit often because you won’t want to miss any of its constantly changing goodies! Did you know that Kelowna has an “Art in the Park” program all summer long?

CONTRIBUTED
THE NEW STORE on Bernard Avenue called Funktional has seen an increase in foot traffic since relocating from Ellis Street. Park from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week in summer. On Friday and Saturday nights, the artists move into Kerry Park to display their art in conjunction with the Parks Alive! concerts. So you never know when you’ll be strolling through the park and find a beautiful pair of earrings or a funky belt. I just love to see all the different artists showcasing their latest creations! Arts Alive! also features a busker program,
with designated spots throughout City Park and the downtown. Entertainers for this program are again chosen by jury, and it’s open to local or touring performers, professionals and amateurs alike. I think it really adds to the exciting city ambience to be entertained on the street corners by someone who might be the next big star. Summer is definitely the time for outdoor concerts downtown, and it’s all in full swing now.

As drivers are becoming bigger and players are hitting the ball farther, that quote became more untrue as players were driving the ball as far as pos-
sible, even if it was in the rough, then wedging onto the green. With the wedges they used, having deep, box grooves, players could generate lots of spin, even out of the rough. This would enable them to hit the ball closer to the hole which minimized the importance of putting. With the new rule changes regarding the width and depth of grooves on wedges, players will not be able to spin the ball nearly as much and this will put more of an emphasis back on putting. With putting becoming a more important part of the game, put a little more time and energy into practicing your putting, using a putter designed with current technology.” (Mark Lindsay is the dir-
ector of golf at the Okanagan Golf Club mlindsay@golfbc.com.)

W ATTEMPT IN ONTARIO
Can workplace bullying be cured with legislation? O ‘‘
ntario has introduced its Occupational Health and Safety Amendment Act (Violence and Harassment in the Workplace). This legislation will impose broad obligations on employers in that province with respect to workplace violence and harassment. In brief, this legislation provides definitions for workplace “violence� and “harassment� and requires employers to implement related policies and programs and training, to conduct ongoing workplace assessments of the risk of violence, and to disclose information to workers about persons with a history of violent behaviour. This legislation is in addition to Ontario’s regime of workplace regulation, including existing
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson employment standards and human rights and occupational health and safety laws. The question many Ontario employers may be asking is: “Is more workplace regulation really necessary?� On the one hand, statistics suggest that workplace bullying is prevalent. The Globe & Mail reported, recently, on studies showing that 80 per cent of workers report “at least one incident of harassment in the course of their career�. The same article stat-
ed that 30 per cent of workers report “repeated instances of bullying at some point in their career� and five per cent report that they are “being bullied in their current job.� Those are some persuasive numbers, at least until you take into account that they seem to be reflective only of the employees’ own perception. On the other hand, I find myself asking (as, I suspect, will many Ontario employers) whether more government regulation of the workplace is necessarily better than less. I think it’s fair to say that employees, generally, are going to be expected to interact with other people at work. It’s also fair to presume that not all co-workers are going to get along. And some of the treat-
ment to which some people expose their coworkers is going to be perceived as offensive. governments, and the legislation they produce, can’t (in my view) change this. Governments have traditionally sought to control and regulate the employer-employee relationship. There is good reason for that because, undoubtedly, there is an imbalance of power there. Is there a similarly compelling reason for government to regulate employee-employee relationships (or to impose the obligation for doing so on employers)? In a way, the introduction of this Ontario legislation reminds me of my reaction when B.C.’s Personal Information Protection Act (also known as PIPA) was introduced a

At the time, and many times since, I have wondered whether a single line might have been sufficient, perhaps something like, “No one shall make any use of personal information which the owner of the information might be expected to view as unreasonable.� Assuming that the new Ontario legislation is necessary at all, perhaps it could have been boiled down to something like, “Employers shall take reasonable steps to anticipate, avoid, and address incidents of workplace harassment and violence.� In any event, you can burden employers with sweeping obligations and establish a complaint structure for employees and empower a
publicly-funded administrative body with the task of addressing those complaints (and allow for the inevitable requests for judicial review of those decisions). What you can’t do is legislate away the human aspect of the workplace equation. People who are unhappy with their co-workers’ behaviour do, after all, have a self-help remedy at their disposal. They can find a better fit with another employer. Robert Smithson is a lawyer in Kelowna practicing exclusively in the area of labour and employment law.

Take positive approach to change
I
t is quite typical for organizations that strive for success to use strategies for change that focus on improving what is not working well. The assumption is that there are always things that need fixing. And that may be true, but it is draining and depressing to focus on only that. What if instead there was a fresh way of exploring organizational improvements that involved asking positive questions about what is working well? There is a whole field of thought and organizational practice grounded in directed inquiry that aims to “appreciate” the best of what currently exists, including systems, processes, products/services and people, and build on that to create an even better future for the organization. “Appreciative Inquiry,”as it is called, has proven to be an energizing and productive approach to achieving intentional change at both an individual and organizational level. There is more to the model but, in simple terms, it involves looking at existing strengths and successes and then designing a future vi-
sion that builds on the strengths of the present. When people start to talk about what is positive in the workplace, the Laurie energy changes imMills mediately. In shifting the focus toward an “appreciation” of what is working well there is a very real opportunity to engage everyone in generating strategies for how to make the workplace even better. For example, perhaps you have a team building retreat planned for your company or department and one of the goals of the gathering is to improve team morale. A typical agenda would focus on a review of what problems might be contributing to negative morale (poor communication, inefficient work processes, etc.) and where things need to improve. An Appreciative Inquiry agenda might instead start with the team identifying where things are already working really well. Part of that discovery process would involve getting people to reflect and remember what they like about their jobs, what a “good day” looks like for them and examples of times when the team really pulled together to get things done. The idea of asking people about

what really energizes them can help identify untapped talent and allow teams to reach a common understanding of what effective teamwork looks like in action, so that those efforts can be replicated on a regular basis. The change process then becomes about collective efforts to reinforce actions that work well and actively build on those so that successes are repeated and problems are minimized. Focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses stimulates positive mental attitudes as well, which improve the workplace environment for everyone. Why not experiment with an “appreciative” approach yourself? Rather than talking with your colleague or your manager, about their stress levels, as them what they like most about their jobs. You might just be surprised by the positive shift in their energy as they answer.

Economic progress is linked to entrepreneurial growth I f this entrepreneurially-minded columnist and serial entrepreneur decided to choose a patron saint, I’d nominate the economist Joseph A. Schumpeter. He was, history has
told us, one of the most astute business thinkers who ever lived and often called the Father of Entrepreneurship. In his classic book of 1911, The Theory of Economic Develop-
This long weekend it seemed as though emergency vehicles never got a rest. The screaming sirens, flashing lights and endless traffic jams waiting for a crash to be cleared up.

A lot of drivers just need a short 2 hour refresher lesson to readjust their thinking while driving. Tips on how to: • Use the S maneuver to safely make your left turn at an intersection • Use correct stopping procedures at stop signs and at a right turn on a red light. • Also reading the traffic lights ahead, and knowing the meaning of the solid flashing green light and knowing the procedure for the flashing red light.
ment, Schumpeter broke with traditional thinking about business, enthroning the entrepreneur as the source of all economic progress. One of the hallmarks of his 1911 book is that he ventured into territory where no economist had travelled before—namely the psychology of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs, he insisted, are not propelled solely by a wish to grow rich or by any “motivation of the hedonistic kind.” Instead, they feel the “will to conquer; the impulse to fight; to prove oneself superior to others; to succeed for the sake, not of the fruits of success, but success…itself. There is the unmistakable joy of creating, of getting things done and simply exercising one’s energy and ingenuity to find solutions, not problems.” Today, for the first time in our history, a majority of the world’s people are living in countries with capitalist economies. Partly because of this fact, the entrepreneurial business environment is changing at a faster pace than any other time in history as well.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young The process of globalization and the development of the Internet have transformed the world, creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs everywhere. Very exciting for all. The choice today is whether a person will be on the giving or receiving end of creative destruction as Schumpeter liked to put it. He also stated: “A roster of leading entrepreneurs would be like a hotel: always full of people, but people who are forever changing.” Will you be the creator and developer of a new opportunity for the world to embrace or one whose venture is overtaken and destroyed by someone else, outworking you at home or abroad? That’s always up to you. Increasingly, as entrepreneurs create more and more exciting new ventures for us to enjoy,
OKANAGAN LAKE SUBMARINE CABLE REPLACEMENT AND OKANAGAN CENTRE SAFE HARBOUR BOAT LAUNCH CLOSURE BC Hydro is improving reliability to customers in the Central Okanagan Regional District by replacing the aging submarine cables crossing Okanagan Lake from Lake Country to Westside Road. Civil shoreline construction work will commence the week of June 28, 2010 and is expected to be completed by July 19, 2010. Minor traffic delays may be experienced at the cable termination points at Okanagan Centre Road West and 4th Street in Lake Country and along Westside Road. Onshore and offshore work using barges and specialized cable laying equipment will be taking place between July 19 and August 6, 2010. To complete this work safely, it will be necessary to temporarily close the secondary outer gravel boat launch at Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour for extended periods between July 19 and August 6, 2010. The inner main Safe Harbour concrete boat launch will remain open.
The work will take place within the approved Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Ministry of Environment work window for the construction activities on or adjacent to Okanagan Lake. BC Hydro recognizes that these construction activities may be an inconvenience and we will complete the work as quickly as possible.

they are also attracting vigorous scrutiny. But despite all that’s been written and said, little notice has been taken of the growing body of research from those who are continually trying to learn why entrepreneurs seem to have an intense flame burning inside. To understand the entrepreneur, you first have to understand the psychology of a juvenile says Zaleznik, a Harvard professor. The remark is not to be taken facetiously as the hallmark of the entrepreneur is a drive for autonomy, for a freedom from restraints that bespeaks an inner rebelliousness and a fearlessness in the face of risk. But since there are countless paths to entrepreneurial bliss, any psychological portrayal is simply a prototype from which a given entrepreneur may differ to a greater or lesser degree. There is no secret formula, it’s like trying to prescribe the secrets to a happy life. Ouch!… that would win the lottery prize for certain. The typical entrepreneur is absolutely sure he or she cannot fail. Additionally, to such gems of psyche such as charisma, yen for risk and a feeling of knowing
where they are going with their new venture—an entrepreneur possesses often a tremendous high level of self-confidence in their goal for achievement. Because they believe so much in themselves, the entrepreneur calculates their odds differently than outsiders might. They seem to have a particular style of gathering required information, casting a wider net than do their less-enterprising peers. According to a recent research study, the entrepreneur naturally cultivates contacts, gathers inside sources, reads widely and listens well. Their curiosity is immense. There are many other routes to an assertive independence. For example, George Lucas, the moviemaker behind the tar Wars epics and founder of Lucasfilm, remembers producing backyard carnivals which, he says “were far more elaborate and profitable versions of a KoolAid stand.” Some personality theorists cite such enterprise as an instance of forming one’s own identity by emulating successful adults. Others also see such early initiative as a strong sense of competence, the belief that one can accomplish whatever one sets
out to do. Interestingly, Lucas says his refusal to give up his autonomy to Hollywood was a straghtforward artistic decision. He wished to control his artform that led to his independence. He is quoted as saying that Star Wars was something no one understood—a movie with robots for the two leading characters? They thought he was nuts. Did he fool them? You guessed it. It’s not enough for the budding entrepreneur to be a brilliant creator of perceived opportunities. They must be a savvy politician, a charismatic speaker, an inspiring coach, a bit of a technical expert of sorts and, yes, an efficient manager/administrator. It is the entrepreneur on a team, any team who inspires the others with his or her vision and drive. Not just anyone can take on that task; there is a unique set of psychological skills that the research tells us the entrepreneur must possess. In fact, the literature is rife with laundry lists of such essential skills— one mentions 42 traits in all. WOW. Perhaps, the full picture of the successful entrepreneur can only emerge when bits and pieces are plucked from each of the disciplines and reassembled into a whole. Ultimately, my friends, that picture displays a person who combines merciless drive with talents so great that one is merely tempted to “cheer them on.” Hence, the entrepreneurial pysche may prompt a sort of “splitting” if you will, that takes the form of a mental split, in how an entrepreneur sees the world, full of blocks and frustrations and the other being an ideal of freedom. As a culture hero, the entrepreneur of our day and for many days ahead I would suggest, is, but the latest incarnation of the Horatio Alger, rags to riches theme. However, also, he or she has come to play a larger mythic role in our Canadian culture, one that echoes the romance once projected onto the men and women of our once new Canadian frontier. And, for me, that’s just fine. Joel Young is the founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

BUSINESS
Finding your hidden money Preparing a budget will make you richer. The first step to knowing where your money goes is to record all your income and all your expenses for one month. It is important to analyze your cash flow, and that means recording all cash flow in and out of your household. On the income side, record your after-tax salary (take home pay), and all other income. Under the expense column, record all expenses, example mortgage, rent, utilities, daily coffee and muffin, magazines and all the other fun stuff purchased on a regular basis. Every dollar spent needs to be recorded. Carry a notepad with you so you can quickly jot down every purchase. Or you can sit down every evening with your spouse and review your daily spending as a team. Individuals have different money personalities inherited from their own family unit. When couples get together, one spouse may be a real saver, while the other spouse loves to spend. Finances can be a leading reason for divorce. Identify your own money personality, so you can survive money conflict. If one person insists on his or her daily coffee purchase, put an allotted monthly amount in the envelope and if the money is gone before the month is gone, then no more coffee. This technique will help you realize how much you spend on personal habits, and you can make a decision to prioritize where “you want to spend” your money. Write down your financial goals
and post them in a place where you will see them all the time. Visualize your goals and it will help remove the temptation to spend your money on “stuff” you don’t need. Place your written Doreen Smith goals on a small piece of paper next to your credit card, debit card, or post them on the fridge at home so you clearly see your goals on a daily basis. If you have a financial goal to aim for, it is easier to give up the day to day stuff you may not need. If you are spending $10 or $20 a day on coffee or lunch out five times a week, your $10 a day habit will cost you $200 per month, and the $20 a day habit will quickly add up to $400 per month. Multiply the $400 per month over a year and you get $4,800. If you have a goal of an annual family holiday costing $5,000 per year, it can be paid for from your lunch money. If you purchase bottled water, buy a water bottle, fill it up at home, and carry it with you. That one change can save you a couple hundred dollars per year. Packing a lunch five days a week is also healthier for you. Leaving your car at home and walking or taking your bike to work or to the grocery store will save money and provide the health benefit of additional exercise. Saving money can be healthy! If your expenses are higher than your income, you are living beyond your financial means, and this can lead to financial disaster. If your net income is higher than your monthly expenses, you have found money to save, invest or allocate to achieve your financial goals.

Bustin’ a pop Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Chai bubba tea temptress Janessa Worsfold knows she can dance. She’s just started her own YouTube channel to share her work with other hip hop poppers and earlier this spring she won her category in a major dance contest. But this weekend, the former Kelowna Secondary School dance team member will face some of her toughest competition, as she steps up to test her moves against top dancers from Western Canada at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Showtime Promotions Great Canadian Dance Challenge is back for the final round this weekend, known as The Western Canadian Grand Championship of Dance. For three days the community theatre plays host to dancers from all walks of the dance world—ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical performance—ages eight to 18. During the first round of competition in April, dancers faced dancers of the same ilk, competing in categories based on their level of experience.
Now the gloves— or the dance slippers— are off. Every performer competing in the grand championships has already won a gold or “high gold” medal during the regular competition tour. Now they have to dance against anyone and everyone competing in their category. Originally, there were beginners, novices, juniors with two or three years of training, two categories of intermediates with four to nine years of training, advanced and accelerated dancers. Worsford has to compete against every winning popper—and that’s some stiff competition. “I know I’m going to be up against people with much more advanced choreography,” said Worsford. “So yeah, I’m nervous.” Popping is a relatively new form of dance for the mainstream, though its origins trace back several decades to funk dancers in the Fresno, California, area. The moves basically amount to a relaxing and contracting of the dancer’s muscles, which give them an appearance of snapping from one pos-
ition to the next. Poppers watch each other on YouTube, and pick up moves to add to their repertoire. But ultimately, they must be able to freestyle—dance ondemand without choreographed routines—to really excel. For this particular competition, Worsford has used choreography— dancers were only allowed to compete if they belong to a dance school, so it is a more formal competition—but she has done other events where it was more of a dance off. And for that, she’s had to do plenty of research. Her favourite dancer is Pacman, or Phillip Chbeeb, whose YouTube presence has a round-theworld following. Featured in front of several walls of graffiti in his latest video, he twists his arms and legs from one move to the next in his own take on the distinctive style, drumming up new fans with every posting—and without the help of dance mania machines like So You Think You Can Dance. That said, The Great Canadian Dance Challenge has been launching artists in its own right

for nearly as long as popping has been around. Running for 25 years, it boasts an impressive portfolio, with connections to Lauren Hill, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Prince and Alanis Morissette. Originally based in
Alberta, it is now operating out of Kelowna, which enables this city to host the grand finalé. Worsford said she is quite nervous for the weekend performances as the prizes are large. There are two schol-
arship to the Edge Centre for Performing Arts in Hollywood where everyone from Michael Jackson to Britney Spears have developed their moves. Altogether there is said to be more than
$10,000 in scholarship and award money up for grabs in the competition, including trips to Vancouver, with scholarships to work with Groove Street Productions. There is also a prize to work with the Rocky Mountain Dance Project, which is bringing in Stacy Tookey, from So You think you can dance, this year to do choreography for the dancers. And for the general public, there are incentives as well. WestJet is giving two tickets to anywhere they fly in a partnership with the Kids Help Phone, the charity for the competition. Performances run all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Kelowna Community Theatre, with an entrance fee of $5. The final round of competition runs Sunday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., with tickets $10 at the door. The judges include Eddie Garcia, Garett Minniti and Sarah Smith from Los Angeles. Their collective resumés include TV, video and film credits for choreography and performances with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, J.Lo, Britney Spears, Francis Ford Coppola, Austin Powers 1, 2 & 3, That 70s Show, The O.C., Southland Tails, CSI: NY and many more. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
Hancock puts his stamp on more pop rock classics HERBIE HANCOCK: THE IMAGINE PROJECT (SONY)
The Imagine Project is 70-year-old Herbie Hancock’s first new studio album since his 2007 Grammy Award winning Album Of The Year with The River: The Joni Letters. That album was almost all covers of Joni Mitchell songs set to jazz/
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell R&B that included a host of guests and this new release doesn’t stray too far from that type of template.
Instead of Mitchell covers, Hancock spreads his piano over several covers of classic pop starting with John Lennon’s Imagine that is the album’s conceptual centerpiece and as Hancock writes in his liner notes “an effort to show the power and beauty of global collaboration as a golden path to peace.” As a result, this disc was recorded in various
countries in various languages with a huge array of guests. One song in particular illustrates Hancock’s
wildly eclectic sphere of influence and that is with the cover of Bob Dylan’s The Times They Are A Changin’ that features African kora superstar Toumani Diabete along with Ireland’s the Chieftains resulting in a hybrid Afro/ Celtic groove. Meanwhile, the opening Imagine offers the mighty collaborative talents of Pink, Seal, Konono No.1, Jeff Beck
and India.Arie that is sung in both English and African. My fave track is the Afro/jazz/reggae medley of Tamatant Tilay/Exodus (the latter Bob Marley’s classic) that features Los Lobos, Tinariwen and Canada’s own K’NAAN. Other covers of note include Peter Gabriel’s Don’t Give Up, a duet between Pink and John Legend.
As you can imagine there are just too many highlights to mention here but other guests of note include Susan Tedeschi, Dave Matthews, Wayne Shorter, Juanes, James Morrison, Larry Klein (the ex Mr. Joni Mitchell), Ceu, Lisa Hannigan and Derek Trucks. B+ See Mitchell B9

THE DEREK TRUCKS BAND: ROADSONGS (SONY)
Like Hancock, this new Derek Trucks Band album comes on the heels of their Grammy winning Best Contemporary Blues Album of a couple of years ago. However, Trucks’ new release is a double CD live concert jam session (and not a studio effort) that was recorded over a couple of nights in early April of this year in Chicago. Trucks is the young nephew of The Allman Brothers’ Butch Trucks and you can hear a little Allman southern fried blues rock on the funky Don’t Miss Me and the up-tempo rocker Get What You Want. But my fave tracks here are the cool covers and especially the extended jams of Mongo Santamaria’s Afro Blue and Bob Marley’s Rastaman Chant that both feature beautiful flute solos. The Trucks Band is a multi-racial and multigenerational ensemble with estimable veterans backing Trucks’ superb slide guitar and the band always finds a comfy and often compelling groove. Lovely covers of Toots Hibbert’s Sailing On, Allen Toussaint’s swampy Get Out My Life Woman, Bob Dylan’s Down In The Flood and Big Bill Broonzy’s Key To The Highway. A superb live outing that won’t disappoint fans. B
ades on this side of the Atlantic that they got in their native U.K. where they had a lot more hits. But I tend to think Oasis got a fair shake in North America and perhaps too much acclaim at home. So here is my take on Oasis. The original ’60s English Invasion found Brit popsters re-inventing American music for resale back to the USA. Oasis, a couple of generations later, were more or less taking old English Invasion and selling it back to their own. Check out the blatant Kinks rip off of The Importance Of Being Idle and the Faces/T Rex/glam remodel of (my admittedly all time fave Oasis song) Cigarettes & Alcohol. Big fans should note that there is a couple configurations of this release. There is the two-CD set as well the Limited Edition four-disc box set with all the music and 38 videos along with a concert

OASIS: TIME FLIES...1994-2009 (SONY) Noel Gallagher of Oasis already compiled a solid collection of Oasis’ music four years ago with the anthology Stop The Clocks which gives a certain irony to this new ‘singles’ set, titled Time Flies. Hits usually follow singles unless the single flops, so for casual Oasis fans this is a good collection of tunes for bona fide classics like Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Lyla, Live Forever, Champagne Supernova, Roll With It, etc. Hardcore Oasis fans always claim the band didn’t get all of the accol-
lads, like Lionel Richie’s Truly and on Roberta Flack’s The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (sung on this CD in two different languages). Noted guest spots include Jim Brickman, Amy Sky and Nita Whitaker and because Mark Masri sings in six different languages on La Voce, he is bound to get a hit somewhere on the planet. C+

W GET OUT SEE IT LIVE
Okanagan’s only independent world music and dance celebration brings The Wailers to the Valley Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
A
nyone who reads my column knows that I’m a huge fan of outdoor music festivals. There’s a feeling you get when you’re there that can’t be matched by just camping or attending a regular concert on its own. I think it has to do with the fact that everyone is there to celebrate live music, arts and culture, the environment, as well as to celebrate a sense of community. Komasket Music Festival is just another example of a festival that ties together all of those components and delivers them in a vibrant package unique to the Okanagan. The ninth year of the highly acclaimed festival takes place August long weekend, from July 30 to Aug. 1 at the beautiful
Komasket Park on Okanagan Lake, about 20 minutes west of Vernon. The all-ages festival provides three full days of music, camping and culture with a diverse lineup of global artists, workshops and vendors. Komasket has grown into a major event for the communities of the Southern Interior since its inaugural year in 2002. The festival brings an opportunity for attendees to experience and appreciate local, national and international artists. It also provides an opportunity for local artists to showcase their work. There is a great deal of
community involvement through donated services, materials and volunteers. As the festival is held on aboriginal land it also provides many people with a cross-cultural experience, which helps to develop a greater appreciation and good, working relationships between the communities. This year’s lineup of artists is sure to attract an attendance larger than previous years. It was just recently announced that Bob Marley’s band The Wailers, from Jamaica— one of the most wellknown reggae bands in the world—will be headlining the festival.
The lineup also includes Dehli 2 Dublin (Vancouver) who put on an incredible live performance, the Alex Cuba Band, Cheb I Sabbah, Oka, didgeridoo master Shane Philip and many more. Local performers include Andrew Allen, Les Copeland, Shane Carling, Sasha Lewis and The Capers, a great foot stomping folk band from Kelowna. Another big name coming to Komasket is the legendary Fred Penner who will be performing at the Kidzone stage along with GoGo Bonkers and others. Komasket was started by local musicians Thomas and Devaki Thomas along with a member of the local aboriginal community, Mollie Bono. The festival is becoming known as a unique event in Canada because of its location on aborig-
inal sacred land and has been designated drug and alcohol free which draws many families. The beautiful historical land also boasts traditional First Nations cultural aspects. This year the festival is expanding its workshops, Kidzone, hours of live music and dance, camping area, visuals to the stages and a brand new main stage. The Jam stage was a huge hit last year, bringing bands together to collaborate on the spot, and they plan to continue this for the 2010 festival.

W KELOWNA ART GALLERY
Memory, loss, nostalgia in Johnston’s installation at YLW
V
isitors to the Kelowna International Airport this summer may find themselves wanting to quote Monty Python with the line: “And now for something completely different.” Kelowna-based artist Byron Johnston has filled the entire 40-foot long shallow gallery wall space with mounds of unwound old 16-mm film— the extended length of which would be 30 kilometers in total. This material forms its own kind of landscape, just in the way, for example, a traditional piece of charcoal could be used to sketch some topographic contours. But in this case the landscape is also conceptual and can relate to notions of memory, loss and nostalgia. To further add to the e experience for a travele heading along the wall er t submit his/her boardto i pass for inspection, an ing overhead o looped soundtrack tr plays bytes of appropriate p and pleasant noises such as a helicopn t a plane taking off, a ter, crowded station, footsteps, etc. Many passersby may very well assume these subtly piped in sounds are part of the ambient noise of the airport itself. The underlying theme of both the visual and sound components of Johnston’s thoughtful installation is about the journey of life, surely an appropriate subject for

BYRON JOHNSTON installation shot of Single-Sprocket Super- 6, 2010 at the Kelowna International Airport. by the staggering piles of film. For many visitors who are not gallery-goers or aficionados of contemporary art, this may be their first experience of art that makes use of nontraditional materials. This shift was first begun by artists in the early 20th century in an attempt to remove the elitist connotations of art made with traditional precious materials such as bronze or marble, or oil paintings in gold frames. The Dada movement
in Europe in the 1920s, especially, espoused this approach, and is the wellspring and source for much of the activity and production of modern and contemporary conceptual work by artists such as Johnston. Born in Kelowna, Johnston was raised here but went away to study art in Calgary, Victoria and at the University of California, from which he received his MFA degree. Johnston began teaching at Okanagan University College in 1991, and
became a professor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan after the name change/merger in 2005. He was given a solo exhibition of his work at the Kelowna Art Gallery in 1999 that still lives in Kelowna memories for its unusual tactics of strewing the entire gallery floor with grains of wheat, for example, and having living people inhabit the gallery to startle visitors with randomly-paced sounds. The current installation will be in place at

BACKOSTI: MILDRED
October 14, 1917 - June 22, 2010 Born in Rossdale, Manitoba but never stayed in Manitoba after adulthood while spending some time in Ontario and then mostly in British Columbia. She had a 3 year stay in Germany while her late husband John was stationed with the RCAF. John and Millie were married in Winnipeg on September 26, 1936 and enjoyed 65 years together until John passed on December 21, 2001. During the Second World War, John served on the HMCS Prince Henry while Millie lived in Victoria. Death Ends a Life..... Not a Relationship. Millie was born to Michal and Martha Fijal along with 12 brothers and sisters all except one predeceased her. Besides her 2 sons Wain & Barry along with daughter in law Ingrid; her direct relatives are grandson Aaron (Marnie) of Banff and granddaughter Alida (Bruce) Kvellestad of Calgary and great grandsons, Connor, Coleman (Kvellestad) and Seth (Sands).Millie enjoyed her walks until very recently and was an active octogenarian while taking part in the Vancouver Sun Run 10K and in 2002 Mothers Day 5K in Cranbrook. Many people who saw her on her walks around Kelowna enjoyed her smile, jokes and stories. Foreign travel was always a major component of her life and started with extensive travels in Europe, with her sons and while John played hockey with the RCAF Flyers. While on a visit to Italy they took a gondola ride in Venice, leaned on the tower of Pisa and were blessed by the Pope. She and John also enjoyed frequent trips south of the border and visiting the Bahamas during the decade her son lived there. She also had trips to Florida, Hawaii and Mexico and even had a current passport. While her grandson was travelling in the Far East she enjoyed receiving the postcards and probably even imagined herself trekking to Everest base camp with him. Last year she travelled to Banff for her grandsons wedding. Millie will always be remembered for her energy, caring generosity, positive attitude and her welcoming of strangers, especially those with a dog or wearing a friendly face. She always had a dog biscuit in a pocket! Nobody can forget her cooking, especially those perogies which she frequently gave away. A memorial service will be held at 1 pm on Saturday, July 17th at the First Memorial Funeral Service on Sutherland Avenue. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Millie’s memory to either the BC Cancer Foundation, 3999 Royal Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 5L3 or The Central Okanagan Hospice Association 202 1456 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6.

McDONALD – Lila Mae McDonald (nee Preston) Passed away on Canada Day, July 1st, 2010 in Kelowna with her husband of 56 years, Wilfred McDonald by her side. Lila was born in Chilliwack, BC onAugust 19th, 1930, to Harry and Grace Preston, and grew up farming and raising horses along with her two sisters Shirley (Ray) and Doris (Ackerman). She graduated from Chilliwack High School and trained as a teacher in Vancouver and Winnipeg taking home economics teaching positions in Ashcroft and then Sydney where she met Wilfred. She was a dedicated mom, raising two children Patrick (Cheryl) of Kamloops and Lori (Tim) of New Hampshire. She also delighted in her grandchildren: Olivia Mae, Riley, Hunter, and Christian whom she loved dearly. The family lived in many cities in BC and settled in their favorite area, the Okanagan. Until recently, Lila could be seen in the early mornings on her bicycle riding to some type of fitness activity at the Parkinson Rec. Centre, and was a role model to all of us in staying active. She loved to travel with Wilf, and cared greatly for the fine people at the Three Links Manor where she volunteered much time. She was also a regular volunteer at many Kelowna marathons and triathlons. Many thanks to the staff and Volunteers at the Hospice House and to all of those friends and relatives who have been so supportive over the past few months. Any donations in Lila’s name can go toward the Canadian Cancer Society. Honoring Lila’s request there will be no ceremony, please think of her the next time you ride your bicycle or go for a hike.

September 18, 1914 - July 2, 2010 Val passed away peacefully at Cottonwoods Care Centre in Kelowna, BC. She was born at Ingelow, Manitoba, the youngest child of William and Sarah Greenwood. Val’s formative years were spent in Ingelow, Brookdale and Brandon. After high school graduation Val’s sense of adventure took her to Ontario where she found employment with Bell Telephones. Her telephone training enabled her to find employment all over the world. In 1937 she married and moved to California. She found work as a switchboard operator at one of the more prestigious hotels. When World War Two broke out she returned to Canada to enlist in the Canadian Women’s Army Corps. She was soon promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and was in charge of training new recruits. She served both in Canada and England. After the war Val traveled extensively to England, Africa and Spain. She returned to Canada in 1952 and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. She served with them until November 1954 when her sense of adventure took her back to her beloved Spain where she ran with the bulls and then went on to Africa. She climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, traveled through the Belgian Congo in a 1950 Citroen and went on African safaris. She also met Bram in Africa and they were married in 1956 and lived there until Bram’s retirement. They began their journey to return to Canada. In 1974 at the age of 60 Val decided to try her hand in the apple business. Land was purchased in Oyama and through years of hard work an orchard was flourishing. For 13 years Val and Bram nurtured their orchard and also commuted to Vancouver where Bram was employed. In 1987 they sold their orchard and moved to Kelowna. Val purchased her first computer at the age of 84 and at the age of 93 her book “African Mornings and Spanish Nights” was published. Velma was predeceased by her parents, William and Sarah Greenwood, her husband Bram, brothers Fred and Gordon and sister-in-law Vicky Greenwood. She leaves to mourn her sister Linda (Tom) Harris, brothers Ed (Marilynn) McLeay, Earl (Judy) McLeay, Con (Penny) McLeay: sisters-in-law, Lavetta Greenwood and Hilda (Franklin) Gray, along with several cousins, nieces and nephews and numerous friends all over the world. The Memorial Service will be held Monday, July 12, 2010 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Rd., Kelowna, BC, with Rev. Lorna Hillian officiating. Donation to charity of choice.

camp after learning it did not receive enough funding to operate in 2010. “I decided to take the SOKS Summer Science Camp over and try to establish it as a sustainable student initiative at UBC that would operate in partnership with SOKS,” said White, who graduated in June from the Okanagan campus with an honours degree in biochemistry. “I went to a lot of camps when I was a kid and it was so much fun. SOKS has such a strong tradition of excellent educational programming and it would have been so sad to lose this camp in our community.” Taking place during July and August, there are four science-based themes for junior (ages 6-8) and senior (ages 9-12) children. From creating crazy concoctions in the chemistry lab to learning about the Okanagan ecosystem and constructing robots, the week-long camps combine outdoor activity with science, imagination and fun. “UBC has the best facilities in the Central Okanagan for science,” said White, who sits on the board of SOKS. “We are going to be using the classrooms, the labs, giving tours of the research stations, and even talking to researchers and grad students. So there is really the strong research component that the kids will be exposed to.” Along with fellow alumnus Matt Gillespie, who graduated this year from UBC with a management degree, White volunteered nearly fulltime over April and May to ensure the camp would be ready this summer. “We had to secure funding for camp staff, raise money for programming and facilities, and recruit volunteers,” said White. “The support has been strong, from both the campus and larger community,” added Gillespie. “A number of people, including a handful of Grade 11 and 12 students, are volunteering in leadership positions throughout the summer.” The camps cost $130 for junior kids and $200 for senior kids. “We have subsidized spots available for kids who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford go,” said White, who is still looking for businesses and individuals who are able to donate funds to help subsidize the cost for kids an their parents. For more information on the SOKS Summer Science Camp or to register or donate, see www. soks.ca/camps.htm.
