Up close view of homeless plight sought
Yuletide spirit in July for those in need
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
A leading U.S. activist for the homeless is coming to Kelowna to get a firsthand view of the problem here. Mark Horvath, who operates the web sites invisiblepeople.tv and wearevisible.com, will include Kelowna on the B.C. portion of a cross-Canada tour he is making to show the face of homelessness in this country. Horvath, an American who was formerly homeless and then turned to social media to give people many consider to be invisible a face, is embarking on the Canadian summer tour in partnership with the Calgary Homeless Foundation and the Community Action Committee. Between now and September he will travel across the country with video camera, computers and smartphones with one goal in mind—to share the stories and experiences of the people he meets on the streets of Canadian cities with others on the Internet. As he travels, he will use Twitter to broadcast what he is doing, and post videos and blog entries. His regular Twitter feed, @invisiblepeople, is wellknown in the social media world and he was named by the Huffington Post as one of 11 Twitter activists to follow in the U.S. “Our goal is to expose Canadians to the unnatural disaster of homelessness in our communities through personal stories of those experiencing it,” said Tim Richeter, president of the Calgary Homeless Foundation, the group that arranged the tour. “I believe when Canadians are introduced to their homeless neighbours through Mark’s lens, they will be compelled to act.” Horvath, an internationally recognized activist and ambassador for millions who live in shelters, on the street, in motels, tents and under bridges across the U.S., left Victoria yesterday en route to Vancouver. He is scheduled to be in Kelowna on July 12. When Horvath is here, regional social development co-ordinator Christine Walsh and a case work manager from the Gospel Mission will act as his “tour guides” and will take him to a number of areas around the city

If there’s one thing a good hot snap inspires, it’s a rousing round of Jingle Bells. Well, maybe not, but the Kelowna Community Food Bank could really use a bit of the good cheer during this sudden plunge into summer. “Christmas in July serves two purposes,” said Lenetta Thordarson, food bank spokesperson. “First, it helps to remind our community that the spirit of Christmas should be year-round… Second, as our major summer campaign, Christmas in July is critical for maintaining inventory.” According to the annual Central Okanagan State of the Child report released last fall, the cost of a healthy food basket for a family of four has gone up 38 per cent over the last five years. On the ground in the food bank, Thordarson says that translates to a lot of families who cannot make ends meet without See Yuletide A6

Toddler is found alone in baby stroller Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Last month, a Kelowna child was reported missing and sparked a major search effort only to be found a few hours later sleeping in her grandmother’s bed. On Wednesday, the police encountered the reverse of that scenario, discovering a child alone in a stroller outside Orchard Park Shopping Centre, with no parents readily evident. Police were called to the southeast corner of the shopping centre, across from the Farmer’s Market area, yesterday afternoon, after passers-by found a toddler in a stroller. The little boy, who appeared to be around two years of age, was in the shade of trees and appeared to be in good shape and was not in distress, said Const. Steve Holmes. Initial news reports said the child was sweating profusely and not behaving normally but police say that was incorrect. The child was found around 12:50 p.m. and when the parents were not located nearby, the people who found the boy called police. Holmes said when officers arrived, almost 40 people were looking for the parents. The B.C. Ministry of Children and Families was called and its officials took the child into care about half an hour later when the parents had still not shown up. Just after 2 p.m., the child’s frantic parents arrived at the parking lot looking for their son. Police were still at
G N I CH RI EN
the scene and spoke with them about why the child had been left alone. Holmes said both parents thought the other was taking the child to the mall when they split up to do some shopping. When the parents met up in the mall at 2 p.m. they discovered that neither had the child. Holmes said panic set in as the two raced back to where they had left the boy. He said police determined it was an “honest mistake” and there was no intent to abandon the child. Holmes said the police investigation is concluded, with the responsibility of the child’s disposition now in the hands of the children and families ministry. Earlier this week, police had to break the window of a car parked in the Orchard Plaza shopping centre to rescue a baby that had been left in the sweltering car. The child’s mother had gone into a store and left the child in the car. The baby girl was taken to hospital but while her temperature was elevated, she was not injured. The embarrassed mother, a 22-year-old Albertan woman, said she just went into the store for 10 minutes. The incident prompted the police to once again issue a warning not to leave children or pets in cars, even with the windows open, in the heat of the summer. That baby was also taken into custody by the ministry officials. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

VOLCANIC HILL estate winery proprietor Bobby Gidda, and Wine Country consulting winemaker Daniel Bontorin, toast their award winning rosé, a winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for the achievement of Excellence in B.C. Wines
Winery’s test sample given thumbs up Marshall Jones CONTRIBUTOR
For a winery that’s just over a year old, West Kelowna’s Volcanic Hills Estate Winery is already putting itself in some prestigious company as it was awarded the Lieutenant-Governor’s Award for Excellence in B.C. Wines for its 2010 Rosé. Bobby Gidda says he was surprised to learn last week the family-owned winery was among 11 recognized because he wasn’t sure how the rosé would turn out. “Last year, we entered and didn’t win anything but this year it means a lot that the rosé won because it was the first year we
tried it…it was a test sample,” Gidda said. “Now that we won, we are going to go into production on it. We did 280 cases and we will try to double production.” Daniel Bontorin, his winemaker who is from Osoyoos, was testing Central Okanagan grapes grown in a cooler climate while Gidda wanted to test the market to see how the rosé would move. They both got their answer. The winery will host the lieutenant-governor and other officials from Government House in Victoria later this month. While they have been making wine for the past few years, they
have only taken the process entirely in house for the past year. For Gidda, who is just 26, operating the winery has been a lifelong dream. His family was once partowner of Mt Boucherie estate winery. As a child he watched the entire operation hoping to run it one day. He spent four years earning his business degree and 10 months at Okanagan College learning at its wine sales course, learning accounting and everything else he would need. “I prepared for this adventure,” he says. He also has plenty of family
help from his wife Harpreet, his brother Amit, his sister Christina Tumber and her husband Pirthipal, and of course his father Farwan. While pleased with the honour, it certainly isn’t the first. The wine-making duo won a silver medal for their 2008 vintage chardonnay ice wine at the French Chardonnay du Monde competition last year. Other Central Okanagan wines also cited with excellence awards by the lieutenant-governor included Sandhill Wines’ 2009 small lots Syrah and the St Hubertus and Oak Bay Estate Winery’s 2009 dry Riesling.

STAFF REPORTER
A young boy out for a bike ride in Rutland was robbed by two older youths late last week. On Thursday, June 30 the 11-yearold boy had his black BMX stolen by two boys believed to be around 14 years old. “It’s sad that an 11-year-old can’t ride his bike without being robbed and it’s rather significant,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “We don’t have too many reports of people this age being intimidated and robbed—especially of something as substantial as a bicycle.” The victim was riding on a pathway between Gerstmar Road and Hyw. 33 when the older boys accosted him, one
grabbing the bike while the other took a kick at him. “It’s just too bad that somebody is on the way to a career that we would rather put an end to,” said Holmes. The suspect who took the bike is described as Caucasian with blonde, shaved hair and a freckled complexion. He is 5’4” with a stocky build and was wearing a grey T-shirt and black sweatpants. He was also in possession of a child’s purple bicycle. The second suspect was said to have been on a skateboard, but no other description was provided. The BMX bike has white rims and stickers on the frame. Police are asking anyone with information to call the Kelowna RCMP, 250-762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna’s tax man is breathing a little easier today. Following Monday’s deadline for payment of property taxes in the city, Kelowna’s revenue manager, George King, said it appears most property owners in the city got the message about finding alternative ways to pay their taxes rather than sending them through the mail system this year given the recent Canada Post labour dispute. With mail delivery stopped due to the labour dispute, the city scrambled to not only get word out ahead of the stoppage but also to advertise the many other ways taxes could be paid on time. They included paying through financial institutions, using the Internet, using drop boxes the city set up at City Hall and direct in-person payments at City Hall. It warned residents that because post marks are not accepted as proof of payment, cheques in the mail that arrived late would be subject to mandatory penalties. As it happened, mail deliveries restarted across the country early last week after the federal government introduced back-towork legislation to end the postal dispute. “It appears people took advantage of the tools we put in place to help them pay in different ways,” said King. “This year we have not seen near the amount of mail (payments).” King said information about this year’s tax pay-

But if history holds true, the vast majority of residents here will have paid their taxes on time. Typically, of the 54,000 tax notices Kelowna sends out each year, only 3,000 to 5,000 are not paid by the deadline. In the city, that results in an automatic five per cent penalty on any outstanding balance, including the home owner grant if it was not applied for prior to the
deadline. This year, another five per cent penalty will be applied to any taxes still owing as of Aug. 3. King said while the city splits the 10 per cent penalty for late taxes mandated under B.C.’s Community Charter, it does not have the authority to waive it. Kelowna is one of just a few municipalities in the province that splits the penalty over the first month after the tax deadline, said King. “That’s another advantage of living here,” he

said. Most municipalities, including West Kelowna, impose the full 10 per cent penalty immediately following the deadline. This year, taxpayers in West Kelowna have three days more than their Kelowna cousins to pay their taxes. There, the deadline is today. This year, Kelowna will collect a total of $192 million in property taxes, $97 million for itself and $115 million for other jurisdictions such as the local school district, regional district and regional hospital district. King said Monday’s deadline day, traditionally the busiest day at City Hall for tax payments, went remarkably smooth considering the lines that snaked through the lobby. “It was a very steady day for us,” he said. Now his staff have the task of putting all the information from the thousands of payments into the computers, tallying up who paid what and who did not pay, preparing the first round of late notices for those who did not pay on time and keeping track of payments between now and Aug. 3 when the additional late payment notices will have to be sent out. “We will be kept busy,” said King. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

District better showcased online Marshall Jones CONTRIBUTOR
If you thought Google Maps was cool, wait till you see what the District of West Kelowna can do. This week the district unveiled a new project available that allows the public to not only view maps, you view property lines, get accurate distances and area measurements, see aerial views from past years and even look up assessed values and utility costs. It’s been a lot of work for Kevin Wang, a geographic information service analyst, but they were able to produce something they can proudly offer to the public, says information services manager Wayne Klamut. “We put something out that meets the needs of residents here or consultants or realtors or people from outside the community,” he said. “We look and say ‘what would the general public want, that is in the scope of what we can deliver so long as it doesn’t impact on privacy issues.’ “We wanted something simple and easy for the public to use. But it also had to be fast; if it’s slow no one will want to use it.” From the web site www.districtofwestkelowna.ca you will see a link
on the left hand side. Click it and you are met with a one-stop shop for all information you may need on West Kelowna properties, including some fresh and interesting ideas. For example, you can look at a property through transparent overlays from 2009, 2005 and 2003. Slide the transparency on the overlay and it re-
veals how the land has developed over that time. Drawing a line on the map will reveal distance in real time. Or you can draw a route on the map, even add your own text and print the results. You could accurately measure material required to build a fence, or measure area required for interlock bricks or new
driveway pavement. Realtors and buyers can find past assessed values. While it’s a service mainly for local residents, it could potentially impact economic development as well, Klamut says. Anyone can scope out values, see proper zoning, services and nearby businesses.

Outdoor yoga class to stretch for the food bank A trio of Oranj Fitness instructors will lead what they think will be the largest outdoor yoga class in the Okanagan on Sunday, July 17, at Stuart Park. Sheila Chutskoff, Susie Newson and Laura Martini will team up to lead the 90-minute yoga session from 9 to 11 a.m., with a “groove method” warmup to be led by instructor Tamara Logan starting at 8:30 a.m. All the proceeds raised by the participants will be donated to the Kelowna Community Food Bank. DJ John Byrne will be busting out with a mixture of music on stage to set the mood for the 90-minute class. Childcare will be provided for an additional donation and will include face painting and balloon animals. “I am so happy to see such an overwhelming response to this event,” said Chutskoff, owner of the Oranj Fitness studio. “Lululemon Athletica really came on board from day one to help sponsor and promote this event.
“We hosted an event like this two years ago and it was amazing. “It happened right during the forest fires so we did our sun salutations in honour of the Westside and sent all of our positive vibes their way. “I can picture it now—hundreds and hundreds of health enthusiasts, beginners, intermediate and advanced all joining together as one. It’s honestly going to be the most amazing yoga class the Okanagan has ever seen.” To take part, participants are asked to donate either $5 cash or $5 worth of non perishable food items. Oranj Fitness is a community focused fitness center that inspires an environment of health, personal greatness, fun and community. Oranj Fitness was founded in Kelowna in 2007 by Chutskoff, the former regional manager for Lululemon Athletica.

Then the Vitality Program picks up where Tiny Bundles leaves off, ensuring the essential nutrients are provided to lowincome families, while Food Runners picks up perishables from local food vendors to help supplement healthy diets. “Despite economic recovery we still have seen a lot of people struggling,” said Thordarson. “There are still people who are on fixed income—those with students loans, seniors, persons with disabilities— and they still find it hard to make ends meet and put food on their table for their family.” In 2010, food bank use across Canada was at its highest level since 1997, and the story was no different here in Kelowna. “While the numbers have levelled off in the past few months, there are still many households struggling to make ends meet. In fact, we are seeing an increase in seniors
and families with children relying on our service,” Thordarson said. There are several ways to help throughout the course of the month-long Christmas in July campaign, including: • signing up for No Hungry Children, the monthly $35 donation subscription • purchasing Buy BC coupons at the grocery store (every $2 purchase triples the food bank’s purchasing power) • coming out to the Valley First BBQ and Book Sale, at Orchard Plaza from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 22 • contributing to the Stuff A Van program which will collect food at Walmart on Hwy. 97 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 23 and 24. • coming out to the Ozzy Ozmunds at the Grateful Fed, presented by the Okanagan Developers Group with proceeds going to the Kelowna Food Bank • sending a donation directly to the Kelowna Community Food Bank’s Christmas in July Campaign at 1265 Ellis St., Kelowna, V1Y 1Z7 or donate online at www.kelownafoodbank.com.

Glasgow, has been hired to present the one-hour 11 p.m. broadcast. “We’ve been pushing to go back to a one hour (5 p.m.) broadcast for a while now,” said Gabelhouse. But he said production issues had to be overcome and new staff hired. “ The timing was good,” he said. In addition to hiring Glasgow, the station has
hired another cameraman for its expanded news presentations. According to Global Okanagan, the current half-hour local newscast at 5:30 p.m. is the most popular newscast broadcast in the region. That puts it ahead of national broadcasts from Global, CTV and CBC, as well as daily news programs from Vancouver, such as the popular Glob-
al Newshour. Stories from Global Okanagan have been appearing more regularly on the Newshour of late. “The return of the CHBC News at 5 is the cornerstone of our plan to boost Global Okanagan’s ab esent the news that matters most to our viewers,” said Gabelhouse. “Our new tools and delivery systems, paired with our new newscasts
will provide a whole new level of local (television) news coverage.” Global was recently acquired by Shaw Communications and Gabelhouse said the transition has been very positive so
far.
“They are doing plenty of forward planning and that’s good to see,” he said. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Grants extended to local communities Lake Country, Kelowna, West Kelowna, and the Regional District of Central Okanagan will all receive Strategic Community Investment Fund grants from the provincial government. These grants are generated from a combination of the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program and Small Community and Regional District Grants initiative. SCIF grants allow communities to invest in their own priority projects. The Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program helps municipalities that
directly pay for police enforcement costs. The grants come from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, and the amount of money a municipality receives is based on its contribution to total municipal policing costs. The grant breakdown is as follows: Lake Country: $276,430 (SCG), and $72,446 (TFRS) Kelowna: $1,180,787 (TFRS) West Kelowna: $70,346 (TFRS) Regional District of Central Okanagan: $105,549 (SCG).

William and Kate treated to Quails’ Gate wines Quails’ Gate wines were part of the menu for a dinner attended by Prince William and his new bride Catherine on July 5, hosted by Dechinta Bush University in the Northwest Territories on July 5 which featured local food paired exclusively with five Quails’ Gate wines. The dining coupe for the West Kelowna winery adds to previously having their wines enjoyed at festive occasions by other worldly VIPs such as the Emperor and Empress of Japan, the Queen of England and Canada, U.S. President Barack Obama, and the president of Ireland. The Duke and Duchess ofCambridge had their turn to taste five different Quails’ Gate wines at the small, private dinner held on an island at Blachford Lake, 220 km east of Yellowknife. The event was presented by Dechinta Bush University, which is a land-based, university-credited educational organization headed by northern leaders, experts, elders and professors. The Duke and Duchess spent the af-
ternoon with students and elders, and then attended a feast featuring ingredients harvested from the surrounding area, including wild foods and foods from the university’s organic gardens and greenhouses. The menu for the event was: • Wild Rice Salad with Lightly-Grilled Arctic Char • 2009 Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay or 2010 Quails’ Gate Chenin Blanc • Fire-Roasted Caribou over Baby Greens with Tarragon Red Wine Reduction • 2006 Stewart Family Reseve Pinot Noir • White Fish in a White Wine Dill Sauce with Baby Greens, Blueberries and a Blueberry Dressing • 2010 Quails’ Gate Chenin Blanc • Roasted Moose Meat over Sweet Potato Pancake with Juniper Berry Sauce • 2008 Quails’ Gate Old Vines Foch Reserve • 5-Hour Herb Garlic Cheese Bun • Bannock made by Mary Louise Drygeese.

THE POWER IN PRAYER An Australian man I encountered in my travels (let’s call him “Robert”) posed an interesting question to me. A year before our conversation, his mother had been diagnosed with a serious medical condition which rendered her unconscious. Risky emergency surgery was her only option. The surgeon gave her a one in four chance of surviving the surgery. The family consented to the surgery. Just before the surgery, while in his unconscious mother’s presence, he bowed his head and prayed, “Lord, if you save my mother I will go back to church every Sunday.” Mother survived the surgery and made a complete recovery. True to his promise, Robert attended church services every Sunday he was able. However, he admitted to me that fulfilling his vow to the Lord was turning into quite a burden. He found the church services tedious and repetitive, in a word “boring”. He wanted my advice. He wanted to know if he was bound to his vow to God for the rest of his life. How would you respond to this question? I challenged Robert to see that he was experiencing a real crisis in his faith life. His experience around his mother’s healing was intense. He had genuinely feared her death and reached out in faith for help to God and the doctors who performed the surgery. His mother was healed, the crisis was averted, and life got back to normal. Weekly worship at church could not reproduce the intensity of his hospital room experience with God. He began to doubt. He began to ask questions: Was it God or something else that healed his mother? Was his mother healed by God in reliance on Robert’s promise to attend church regularly? If God healed his mother based on Robert’s promise to attend church, what would happen to mother if he quit attending church? I assured Robert that his feelings were normal and that he should confront his doubts and questions head on. I informed Robert that in the cold light of reason, his mother’s healing could be attributed to three causes: (1) Chance. Medical science had developed a surgical procedure for the treatment of his mother’s illness and predicted that one in four patients who underwent the procedure would survive the operation and could continue to live for some unknown period of time. Robert’s mother was thus the one in four who survived the medical procedure and was thus healed by the same. (2) Suggestion. Doctors and medical researchers will tell you that they believe in the power of suggestion. They will tell you that a patient’s belief that a sugar pill a doctor or researcher gives them may help them will actually produce a recovery from the ailment. Faith and belief in a pill or procedure may in and of itself produce a cure. In Robert’s case, his mother, though seemingly unconscious and unable to communicate, could have heard his prayer on some level and fought to live in a way she would not have if she had not heard her dear son’s prayer. Robert’s prayer may have triggered a healing power lying dormant in his mother.
I informed Robert that if he believed that chance or suggestion was responsible for his mother’s return to health; he was not bound by his vow to attend church. God was not the power in his prayer. The power that healed his mother resided in medical science and chance or in his mother. However, he must consider the third explanation for his mother’s healing. (3) God’s divine intervention. The woman who had given life to Robert struggled for her own life as a result of a serious medical condition. The odds were stacked against her. He had little reason for hope. Robert’s heart was broken; he was filled with grief and remorse. Robert offered a prayer to God in humble faith and trust. He prayed to God for mercy. Psalm 51:17 declares, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” God did not despise Robert’s heartfelt plea; rather, God embraced Robert and his mother, loved them, and answered Robert’s prayer. God blessed the medical intervention in response to Robert’s humble prayer, and his mother lived. If Robert was willing to concede that God is all knowing (omniscient), all powerful (omnipotent) and present everywhere (omnipresent), God answered his prayer knowing the following about Robert: (1) God knew Robert had stopped attending church for a period of time and all of the reasons why, (2) God also knew Robert would initially wholeheartedly attend church after he believed his prayer was answered by divine intervention and then question whether he had a contractual obligation to God to continue attending church, and (3) God also knew Robert would eventually doubt whether God actually answered his prayer. God’s answer to Robert’s prayer was thus not motivated by Robert’s offer to return to church. God answered Robert’s prayer for a higher purpose. The New Testament scriptures declare: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). God’s most passionate desire for Robert was, is and always will be, for them to believe that He exists, reach out and seek Him and enter into an ever deeper relationship with Him. A relationship with God is established and lived out through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ (God’s Son). This faith begins and grows in Jesus’ community on earth, the church. Jesus promises that whenever and wherever two or more are gathered together in his name, he is present among the worshipers, he will guide them and will advocate for them (Matthew 18:18-20). Jesus promises that when the Gospel is preached, the words of the Gospel are like seeds of faith that are sown in the minds of the hearers. Jesus promises that these seeds of faith will germinate, grow and produce tangible results in the lives of those who hear (Matthew 13:1-23). Jesus declares that, for a seed to grow, it has to fall into soft soil. When Robert prayed to God on behalf of his mother, he set aside doubts he had regarding God’s existence, and any ill feelings he may have had against God and the Church. Robert’s mind was soft
soil by reason of his humility, repentance and simple trust in God. Jesus made Robert’s faith grow by answering his prayer. Jesus also opened up the possibility for further growth in Robert’s faith through hearing the Gospel message again and again. However, in the same parable, Jesus warns his hearers that if they come to the proclamation of the Gospel with a bad attitude, a hard heart, half heartedly, and/or with a mind burdened with the cares of life, the seeds of faith will not take hold and grow. Robert’s increasingly negative attitudes toward God, prayer and worship were preventing the faith God had planted in him from growing. He needed an attitude adjustment. Robert needed to remember that the God who created the world, His Son Jesus who redeemed the world by His death and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit who speaks to us and transforms us through the Gospel, had initiated a conversation with him and offered a deep and abiding relationship with him, all through the answer to a simple prayer offered in childlike faith and trust. Robert needed to approach worship with a repentant heart, that is, to confess his negative attitudes and doubts and pray that he would not see worship as a burden but as an opportunity to experience the presence and power of Jesus Christ. God will answer that prayer as surely as He answered the prayer that drew Robert to God again. Robert returned to Australia and I returned to Canada. I do not know what happened to Robert, whether he returned to church or continued his drift away. Some reading this article may sympathize with Robert, and/ or can even identify with him. You may have doubts about God’s existence, whether God answers prayers or cares about you. Put those doubts and cares aside, go to church and pray that Jesus’ power and presence would break through your doubts, hard heart, shallowness, cares and worries. He will answer that prayer. We meet with Jesus at 10:30AM and noon every Sunday. Our children will meet with Jesus every Sunday at 10:45AM and through our summer program July 18-21.

Politics of the fearful
W
e’ve heard of the politics of fear, but Premier Christy Clark is quickly defining the politics of the fearful. The politician-turned-talkshow-host-turned-politician continues to avoid defending her political beliefs in public with yet another refusal to debate her opponent. NDP Leader Adrian Dix challenged Clark to a debate on the HST, a verbal tussle that
would have been aired on a Vancouver radio station. Clark declined the invitation. The premier’s decision to avoid debating Dix follows her avoidance of speaking to the HST in the legislature when she invoked closure when it was her turn to speak to the issue. And, of course, Clark refused to attend all-candidates meetings during the Vancouver-Point Grey byelection campaign that saw her barely defeat NDP can-
didate David Eby. It is clear Clark is afraid to back up her style with substance, but why? If Clark truly believes the HST is good for B.C. and crucial to the future of this province’s economy, wouldn’t she be salivating at the opportunity to discredit HST opponents like Dix? In a statement in response to Dix’s challenge, Clark said the NDP is trying to politicize the issue—presumably unlike Clark
and the B.C. Liberals politicizing the issue by running information ads that look and sound suspiciously like pro-HST promotional commercials. Critics have long accused Clark of oozing style and possessing very little substance to back that up. The fact she appears to be running from every challenge does nothing to counter that criticism.

Technology only helps to achieve a greater goal—graduation
A
lot has changed since I first darkened the doors of one of B.C.’s colleges (later to become a university college, and now a university). Computers are an example of that change. Not just makes, models and speeds, but the very fact of them. There were none in the classes I attended. I thought myself lucky to have a portable typewriter that I could use to compose my essays. (I think I could still change a ribbon in an Underwood).
Cell phones? None.
SCHOOL’S Cordless phones? IN They came later.
Fax machines? Non-existent. Airbags? In those days, the term was used Allan only to describe those a lot of words to Coyle with share but few ideas to go along with them. We thought slide shows and overhead projectors were pushing the envelopes of classroom technology. VCRs? Not invented. What hasn’t changed ‘twixt now and then, however, are the key elements of education: people who want to learn, people who want to share
their knowledge, and people who are excited by both. I see that excitement on a daily basis in my role (director of public affairs) at Okanagan College. Sometimes, some of the people come with a distinct lack of excitement and are then infected with the bug. Others arrive so eager to learn that they can barely contain themselves. Having attended dozens of convocations and commencements over the years, I see the students who are beaming with pride at the ownership of a new certificate, diploma or degree. I see the shared pride on the faces of family members. I also see professors and college staff who revel
in the accomplishments; hugs given gratefully to the graduates, handshakes and shoulder slaps that go beyond the perfunctory. There is job satisfaction in those moments: for the learners, for the instructors, and for those who help to make the whole process happen. Many people will tell you that technology has changed the classroom and changed the learning experience. I’d agree. I’ll stop short, though, of saying that the very essence of learning has changed. It is about sharing. We’ve found new ways to do it, whether it is via web pages, Facebook posts, tweets, or text messages. But it still boils down to sharing.
Thousands of people attended convocations, graduations and commencement ceremonies in the Central Okanagan in the last couple of months, whether at high schools, Okanagan College, UBC Okanagan or private institutions. They’ll know the truth of saying that the sharing (and the joy of it) evident at those events will never be supplanted or diminished no matter the technology that we use to teach and learn. Congratulations to everyone who accomplished their educational or training goals in the past year, from those who had a share in helping you (even if we went to school in an era best described as BC—Before Computers).

A tale of two countries and two mindsets To the editor: Last month I left Kelowna on a camping trip. I planned to drive through the U.S., down to Texas, over to Florida and up the East Coast ending in Toronto. Prior to leaving Kelowna a friend stopped by to ask if I would deliver a small decorated bag to his daughter in Texas. It was like the decorated bag you would buy in the liquor store. Looking at it quickly I could see two sealed cards, a silver purse and something covered in gift wrapping and her name and phone numbers. I said I can’t promise as who knows about all the crazy weather the US was having. Arriving at the customs at 8:30, I was detained until 11. I was under suspicion. I answered all the familiar questions: Any firearms? How much money are you taking into the States? Are you stopping off anywhere? How long will you be staying?, etc. The officer searched my trunk for 10 minutes. It was chock-full of camping equipment and everything one would need to be comfortable. When he came back he was carrying a folded piece of paper which I had thought I had thrown away. It was a list of cities I found on the large scale map of the States that I would be going through (instead of marking highways, I had marked cities), but it stopped at Florida. He would have opened my writing tablet to find this note. Was I planning to stay in Florida? He no doubt didn’t believe me and sent me over to
this garage with open doors. Once inside, the doors closed, two burly apes wearing black, carrying taser guns approached. “Step outside sir, leave everything except your wallet.” I was told to spread my legs and lean across my car while I was bodily searched. I was then told to walk towards a door, through another door until I came to the office where another man interrogated me over and over again. They were polite but I knew at anytime if I made a false move I would know it. I had $3,000 in cash, I had to remove my jacket, step back while he looked me over. Then he handed me a form to fill in all States I had intended to visit, the two apes in black were tossing my car. He went on his computer and asked questions while I filled in his form. One ape in black came bouncing in the office like he’d found gold, carrying the small bag my friend gave me and smiling like a Cheshire cat. He looked ridiculous, the size of him with this small insignificant bag held up by his pinky looking at me with a cruel smile. Gotcha! The daughter’s two phone numbers they knew were Texas numbers. The numbers on a card were of her home and the school where she taught, if she wasn’t home. “Please explain this?” I was asked with dark smoldering eyes. My explanation was short as I really didn’t know anything about this girl or the town she lived in.
When asked, if her husband a terrorist? I broke up laughing. What a bunch of nonsense? I was 100 per cent innocent and had just about enough of his crap and dumb accusing questions. After a few seconds he laughed too. I said, “You guys are so paranoid!” My laughter had broken the tension, he knew I was no threat and was told after spending more time on his computer I was who I said I was and I could go. I asked, “Why was I under suspicion?” 1. Why the list of cities? Why did it stop at Florida? What was I planning to do in these cities? 2. Why would a 72-year-old man with money, new car, dressed nicely want to sleep on the hard ground in a tent? 3. I couldn’t tell them exactly how many days I would be in their country. 4. They were surprised I could name and spell correctly all the States I would be driving through, I think there was 12 States. Driving away in bewilderment I thought good God, what must it be like for a Canadian crossing into the States if they were dark in colour or, heaven forbid, wear a beard with a turban? It boggles the mind! Coming into Canada at Buffalo, NY, I was asked two questions, the trunk was not searched and I was on my way in 15 seconds. Wayne Harris, Kelowna

W INCARCERATION
Kelowna has ‘infrastructure’ for new prison To the editor: Re: Proposed corrections facility/prison for the Okanagan Valley. The most logical place for a prison in the Okanagan Valley is Kelowna. Kelowna is a major crime center, complete with eight criminal gangs competing to supply a hungry clientele. All the components that are required to support this facility already exist within city limits. Kelowna has a full complement of lawyers who recognize that a prison will turn the city into a gold mine for them, a fact that is not lost on the law-
yers in Penticton. Kelowna also has a specially trained crime unit, organized and equipped to handle the extra business. A Hells Angels’ business office, a court house and a drug rehab center complete the infrastructure package. The fact that all players are under one roof implies huge benefits, as literally millions of tax dollars will be saved, because prisoners, lawyers and police no longer have to waste precious resources commuting between facilities. The explosive rate of
growth in and around Kelowna and the huge cost of moving people around should be a compelling motivator for building this facility in the center of or in close proximity to this city. Another consideration should be that this prison, in a relatively short period of time, could easily become the biggest in the province. Space and access are major considerations, and a suitable alternative location would be the abandoned Brenda Mine site. It has four-lane access, a lot of basic infrastructure is in place and literally thou-
sands of acres to expand when the time comes.

We already have laws to control too much noise To the editor: I have read that there is a proposal for a stricter noise bylaw. I am in favour of this, however I must question the sincerity of the proposal. One of the sources of the objectionable noise is the use of illegal boats on Okanagan Lake. I have reported the use of these boats numerous times to the RCMP. On each occasion I have been told that either they cannot catch these people because they don’t have a boat fast enough, or that they do not have jurisdiction. Section 1000 (2) of the Canadian Shipping Act states: “No person shall operate or permit another person to operate a vessel equipped with a muffler cut-out or by-pass unless the muffler cut-out or by-pass is visibly discon-

he carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway bound by bones and ligaments located on the inside of your wrist. It protects the main nerve to your hand and the tendons that bend your fingers. When there is pressure placed on the nerve, it produces numbness, tingling, pain and over time, loss of strength in the hand, a condition that is known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Pressure on the nerve can stem from anything that reduces the space for it in the carpal tunnel, such as overusing the hand in work, sports and daily activities particularly through repetitive motions, injury to the area, or other health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, certain hormonal disorders, or fluid retention during pregnancy. In many cases, carpal tunnel symptoms are actually caused by a nerve compression in the neck rather than by a narrowing of the carpal tunnel. Bad posture, for example, can cause compression of the nerves that
NEEDLE NOTES
James Kaufman run down the arm and eventually pass through the carpal tunnel. In Western medicine, carpal tunnel syndrome is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids to reduce swelling, with physiotherapy to stretch the ligaments and maintain mobility and muscle strength, with massage for relaxation and—as a last resort —with surgery, to cut the ligament in order to create more space for the confined structures in the carpal tunnel. In traditional Chinese medicine, as usual, there are many different reasons why a person develops symptoms like those of CTS. There are two organs that are commonly involved in many bone and muscle or sinew problems, the kidney and liver. The kidneys are said
to produce marrow and control the strength of the bones. Therefore if the kidneys are strong and healthy, the bones will be also, whereas if the kidneys are weak the bones may also be weak and/or brittle. The liver controls the state of the sinews (muscle and tendons), so if the liver is strong and functioning properly, the sinews will be properly lubricated and nourished to have the capacity to contract and relax in a healthy manner. When a problem arises in a joint, whether due to injury or overuse, the body is normally able to recover and heal the tissues. However, with injuries, what can commonly happen at the initial stage is that the qi and blood get stuck and no longer circulate through the joint properly, causing pain. If the quality of blood is generally poor, which is common in a liver yin deficiency, the injured site will of course take longer to heal or even fail to heal completely, because the blood doesn’t provide the proper nourishment to

heal the weakened area. When injury occurs in the case of overuse of a joint, the kidneys and liver are also involved, because the joint may sustain damage if it isn’t receiving a sufficient quality of nourishment and moistening of qi and blood. With acupuncture we can reinforce the energy of kidneys and liver in order to strengthen the bones, muscles and tendons to allow them to heal properly and prevent future injury. We can also encourage circulation of the stuck energy and blood in order to break up the blockages in the injured area and promote healing. Acupuncture provides relief from pain and inflammation, but also encourages healing to the area and a healthier state of functioning, so that the carpal tunnel area is more able to withstand injury and sustain health during frequent use.

Alleged taxi robber arrested A 45-year-old Cranbrook man is in custody following the assault and robbery of a taxi driver last night. The taxi had picked up the suspect at a pub in Winfield and was driving him to the downtown core. During the later part of the trip into Kelowna, the suspect assaulted the taxi driver several times and then demanded money from the driver, who gave the suspect $10.
The suspect got out of the taxi on Leon Avenue near Ellis Street. Police located the suspect a short distance away on Leon. Police say Harold Fairchild has been arrested and charged with assault and theft under $200. Fairchild has been remanded in custody in Kamloops pending his next scheduled court appearance in Kelowna on July 12.

CHILLING OUT…The long awaited heat wave that descended on Kelowna this week sent the kids flooding for the waterpark at City Park in Kelowna to cool off.
W CAPRI VALLEY LANES
Capri Valley Lanes owner Ruby Sargeant wants parents and their children to come bowl as often as possible. “We want you to come lots. Really you are not taking advantage of us. Hopefully you will come in, have a great time and in the fall when you are looking for something to do, you kids will think, ‘I want to go bowling.’”
Sargeant is a parent of grown children and knows there is not much to do in the summer that is low cost. For bowling, there is the $1 to $2 cost per child for shoe rental and then you have a couple hours of fun. Parents can bowl the entire summer with their children for an adult pass price of $24.95. That includes up to four regis-
tered adults and the pass can be bought online with the children’s free passes. “You aren’t going to want to sit on the benches and watch,” points out Sargeant. “We do think the adult price and number of adults allowed is really reasonable.” Capri Valley Lanes is located at the Capri Mall in Kelowna.

Bowling a summer leisure option Finding an inexpensive good time to entertain your kids during the summer can often be a headache for parents. Eventually, the backyard runs out of activities for free, the beach and its attendant parental work loses its appeal, and your wallet cries for mercy from the more expensive attractions. One possible solution is at Capri Valley Lanes in Kelowna, where your kids can bowl for free all summer long. Free summer bowling is popular in the U.S. and the idea was introduced in Canada two seasons ago. Historically, summer is the slow season for bowling alleys, this national program aims to bring in new bowlers and fill the lanes during the hot summer months. Every child who is signed up is given two free games of bowling, every day of the week, all summer long. The program is simple. Go to www.kidsbowlfree. com/caprivalley. You can sign up to six kids in your family to one email address. Each week, the website will email you that week’s game coupons and give you the option for the following week as well. Just print out the coupons and go bowl.

Future house design inroads showcased in new home A shining example of energy efficient home building has been completed in Kelowna. This year’s Home for Learning has been rated Platinum under the EnerGuide rating system with a score of 85. What this means for whoever buys the home is a home with exceptional air tightness, insulation, and efficient mechanical systems to cool and heat the home. The home was built under the scrutiny of the Canadian Home Build-
er’s Association’s Central Okanagan and award winning builder Distinctive Development, in Partnership with Okanagan College’s residential framing program and Melcor Developments. Located at 1670 Begley Rd. at Black Mountain, this luxury home for empty-nesters sets the standard for value; upwards of $60,000 of systems upgrades are included in the sale price of $539,900. That purchase price qualifies the owner for

a range of rebates under multiple programs. Some of the technical features that will drive down the operating costs of the home include insulated concrete forms as
opposed to conventional stick frame and batt insulation. The mechanical room includes a Navien tankless on-demand hot water system to supply both domestic hot water and the hot water for radiant in-floor heating in the basement. The hot water system efficiency is bolstered further with a solar hot water system. The standard air conditioning system was replaced by an air to air heat pump, which is 200 per cent more efficient than a regular air condi-
tioner. Besides being a showcase mechanical system the home is beautiful. The basement is fully finished with a wet bar ready for entertaining and features a lovely cork floor, kept even more inviting with the radiant infloor heat system. The two downstairs bedrooms are equipped with data lines. Upstairs there are upgrades readily apparent— top line Frigidaire appliance package, granite countertops, large gas fireplace, flat screen TV and
luxury banks of windows. The cabinetry is all Built Green BC. The home comes complete with an alarm system, built in vacuum, an exterior stainless steel natural gas Jackson BBQ, and a full wiring package for whole home audio. Upgrades on the main floor that will pay dividends in the future but aren’t obvious to the casual viewer include icynene insulation which does not sag or shift and creates a long-lasting R value for exterior walls.
The exterior is fully landscaped with irrigation. There is a two car garage and space for RV parking as well. CHBA-CO president, Kevin Bounds, is hopeful that the high quality example of this Home for Learning will inspire home buyers to look for energy efficient options. “This home demonstrates to people the value of what can be in a home,” said Bounds. “We are hoping people appreciate the value of the new EnerGuide system.

Learning how to vent our anger in a positive direction F
ew human emotions are as confusing as anger. Most r of us find anger either comes too easily, or is automatically stifled. Girls, in particular, tend to be socialized not to show or even feel it, while in many cultures ranger is considered more “manly” than tenderness. A healthy relationship with this complex emotion is not easy. It may be covering fear or envy or grief. It may even seem to be what gives life meaning. I’m reminded of a scene in a novel where a curmudgeonly old woman says, “I have been sustained by my anger. I can’t imagine how I would live without my anger. What would I do without it when it’s all that’s fueled me?” “Drop it and find out,” is one answer offered to that question by Buddhist sage D. Gilman. Much of our unproductive anger is triggered by what one psychologist calls “ants”—automatic negative thoughts. There is a story about a man who was driving in the country when a tire went flat, and he found he didn’t have a tire iron along. He remembered seeing a farmhouse back along the road. During the long, hot and dusty walk, he found himself thinking, “What if they don’t want to help out a stranger? What if they won’t lend me a tire iron?” He reached the house and knocked on the door. But by the time it was answered, he had thought himself into such a state that he shouted, “You can keep your bloody tire iron —see if I care!” It is a common human response to assume another person’s behaviour is a slight to oneself, when that person is simply preoccupied with his or her own life. But it isn’t always about us! We need to check out assumptions when anger arises. Anger is information. It tells us what is important to us—what we value and are willing to stand up for. It gives us energy and sometimes courage. Swallowing or repressing healthy anger is not helpful. But we can step back from it, observe it, and not let it own us. Christian scriptures advise us not to let the sun set on our anger, and in common with
SOUL SEARCHING
Linda Horton most world faiths coun-
sels forgiveness for our own sake. What we feed grows. It is our choice what we focus upon in shaping the meaning of our lives Those who have swallowed or hoarded anger or transferred it to others find tenderness a rare, even impossible, emotion.
A common misperception about tenderness is that it comes from vulnerability, even weakness. On the contrary, I see it as coming from strength. It comes from the strength to let go of the armor of resentments, and to fully feel our griefs. For repressed grief
and hoarded anger are two of the greatest barriers to living with an open, tender heart. An open heart is not focused upon the question, “How much am I loved,” but rather, “How can I be more loving?” It comes not from a desire to gain more from
others, but to give more. Of course, there needs to be both giving and receiving. But those who keep a tally and fear to give more than they receive lead sad and depleted lives. Be tender with yourselves, yet look with clear eyes, knowing we all have room to do better
—better at observing and learning from what angers us, at treasuring what is important to us, at holding our world tenderly as our love binds together again what is broken. Rev. Linda Weaver Horton is with the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.

students are high every day, throughout the day, smoking pot on school grounds. The students also came to learn that their school was an exception in the Okanagan in not having an RCMP officer, something they said could make a huge difference. Getting suspended for bringing drugs to school or fighting is one thing; the potential for getting arrested is quite another. They talk about the potential relationships that could be developed be-

District of West Kelowna councillors have met every two weeks for almost four years in a building next door to Mt. Boucherie Secondary school, but it was only in the last six weeks that they spent any time talking to their neighbours. That was when a handful of students came knocking on their door looking for someone to listen to not just a host of problems going on in their school, but their proposed solutions as well. It was the culmination of a year of introspection among some of the schools’ leadership. According to those students, it all began back in November 2010 when student Stephanie Greenwood articulated what apparently many students were thinking. The journalism club member wrote an article for the Capital News’ Mt. Boucherie page. “She was talking about how, essentially, there’s nothing to do on the Westside and the relationship between that and the increase in the abuse of drugs and alcohol,” said Tahnee Pierson-Roberts, a Grade 12 student next year. “She got a lot of feedback on her Facebook and email, people saying we couldn’t agree more, something needs to be done, thanks for being the first to bring it up and it kind of snowballed from there.” Seven students took up the charge including Greenwood, Pierson-Roberts, Brianne Moore (entering Grade 11 in September) and graduates Beth Mansell, Erika Nairismagi, Michelle Boorman and Julia Anderson, under the guidance of school counsellor Irene Maier. “It was just getting to the point where there is nothing better to do on the weekend,” said Nairismagi. “It actually starts back in middle school where you are encouraged to drink and do drugs because everyone is just thinking where are we partying this weekend. It becomes way too normal to be doing drugs and drinking on a regular basis…it’s hard to not fall into that because there is nothing else to do and nowhere else to turn.” That’s the gist of the entire prob-
tween students and the RCMP, both for students looking for a better way forward and for police to find out what’s going on. “Everyone in the school knows who’s doing what,” said Pierson-Roberts. “If someone’s planning a (break and enter) you can sometimes hear about it before it even happens.” They presented all the information to council not knowing where it would lead. “I think we got to speak for 15 minutes,” said Nairismagi. “We didn’t know how it would be received (by council) or we didn’t think they would say anything but they then started talking and arguing and making motions. Councillors were clearly moved by the information and made three bold steps. They are putting a school liaison officer in the 2012 budget at a first year cost of nearly $190,000 and $147,000 every year after. They agreed to provide two $1,000 bursaries to students for academics and civic involvement. The third is a twice-yearly breakfast forum with students and councillors and maybe more—Peachland council, Westbank First Nation, local businesses, the Boys and Girls Clubs for example—to open the door to more communication. “We knew the meeting was just a start,” added Nairismagi. “We wanted to just build a connection between council and the youth…where students can provide their views of what’s happening and their ideas on what to do…and council can share j their agenda and students can give their perspective on their issues.” With graduation, only two of the seven leadership students will be back next year to see the results of their work, but they are satisfied with the road they are on. “Council have done so much and so amazing at what they have done since then,” Nairismagi said. “They took us seriously and taken what we have suggested and something good is going to come out of it. We are such a new city and it’s important to give us a voice. A city can’t develop without a youth voice.”

his past week was a very enjoyable one being back in the riding for Canada Day, visiting Peachland, Okanagan Falls, Summerland, West Kelowna and Penticton. In particular, I would like to sincerely thank the organizing committee for Westside Daze. It was a great community celebration. Over the past few weeks, one of the more common concerns that I have heard from many of you across the riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla is over Bill C-428, a Private Member’s bill introduced by former federal Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla. This legislation called for amendments to the Old Age Security Act that would see newly arrived citizens entitled to a monthly pension payment after just three years of residency instead of the current 10 year requirement. It should be noted that this bill was introduced into the former 40th Parliament and has no official standing in the current 41st Parliament. In the event that a similar bill is proposed by another member, based on the overwhelming opposition that has been expressed to me, I would not support such a bill. Another topic of concern that came up in my recent door knocking travels relates to illegal human smuggling and jumping of the cue in immigration matters. Canada has some of the most generous immigration laws in the world, yet there are those who will attempt to profit or circumvent our immigration laws solely for personal gain. These acts cannot only put lives at risk, they can also unfairly impact

she will always be fed through a tube, will never be able to walk, is not likely to be able to speak, and it is unlikely she will develop intelligence beyond that of a four-yearold. Had she been delivered a half hour earlier, the brain damage would not have happened. There were risk factors that should have alerted the medical people involved that extra care should have been taken. The extra care would have prompted a more careful look at irregularities in the fetal heart rate which would have prompted an earlier delivery. Of course, these mistakes did not lead to a prompt and fair negotiation between this baby’s parents and the insurance company for the those who made the mistakes for fair compensation. No. A very hard fought battle ensued. The trial took 23 days resulting in a judgment in the little girl’s favour rendered by Mr. Justice Pitfield on June 14, 2010. I take my hat off to the two very excellent lawyers who prosecuted the little girl’s claim, Don

Paul Hergott Renaud and Ian Campbell. Medical malpractice is an extremely specialized and difficult area of legal practice. It is difficult particularly because of the incredibly vigorous way the medical insurer defends these cases. The story doesn’t end with the hard-fought win in the trial. The defendants appealed Mr. Justice Pitfield’s decision to the top court of British Columbia, our Court of Appeal. Renaud and Campbell had another battle on their hands. The three judge panel of that Court rendered its decision on June 29, 2011. The reasons for judgment can be found on the Supreme Court web site. Go to judgments and search for Steinebach v. O’Brien.

ficult to determine. The Court of Appeal thankfully upheld Mr. Justice Pitfield’s decision on that point. Next week, I plan to write about another attack on Mr. Justice Pitfield’s decision which, unfortunately, was partially successful. I expect that the attack might strike an even more controversial chord. It has to do with his assessment of this little girl’s loss of lifetime earnings. The medical insurer didn’t like the fact that Mr. Justice Pitfield assessed this loss using statistics for male earnings without a significant deduction for factors likely to lead women to earn a lower lifetime income. Essentially, the argument was that women should get less income loss compensation than men. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims.

and legal issues involved, but sure illustrates how hard the medical insurer tried to get out of paying fair compensation to this child. One example is the medical insurer’s attack on Mr. Justice Pitfield’s award of compensation for this little girl’s lifetime of pain and suffering. The argument they made to the Court of Appeal was that the plaintiff must have some mental capability to understand how badly off she is compared to other people, and that this little girl is so mentally impaired that she lacks that capability. How does that argument sound to you? It makes my skin crawl. You cause someone brain damage and then argue that the damage was so severe that compensation should be reduced because the person cannot fully appreciate how badly off she is? Believe it or not, there is some basis for that argument in our law. The trial judge had dealt with and dismissed that argument by finding from the evidence that the little girl’s ability to understand and appreciate her situation was very dif-

What was junk gets new life as art Jennifer Smith Ask the kids in the Kelowna Art Gallery’s summer camps what art is made of and you’ll probably get a whole lot of “paint.” Thanks to local artist Chad Pratch and his unusual ideas of artistic merrit, though, a few have now started to answer “chairs.” No, you didn’t read that wrong. Art camp coordinator Natalia Hautala has heard it with her own ears. The kids of Kelowna now think dirty, old, discarded chairs make for one great cache of art supplies and so will just about anyone who ventures into the centre of the gallery for a look at what thinking outside the box means for a new art school grad these days. “I really am interested in the concept of art and how we look at that concept socially,” explains Pratch as we stand under the morning sun taking in the last of the gallery’s Dysfunctional Chair Series: Inanimate Phenotype. “You have your concept of art, and I have my concept of art,” Pratch says, “but that could be anything. It could run wild.” If it sounds a little eso-
teric and out there, you’re probably right, particularly when the young UBCO grad adds: “Where I’m at right now is just walking down the street and looking at everything and just saying: art, art, art, art,” while gesturing to various objects all around. “It could be just having a conversation with somebody and finding them interesting or very persuasive. The art of persuasion. The art of rhetoric. You could label everything art. “I think that really, art is everywhere. It’s not just in this building.” In this case, the chair sculpture Pratch has created actually is in the art gallery building. It’s pretty confined to the gallery’s walls, strung as it is from the ceiling; although it is a very communal effort. A couple of months ago Pratch was doing the local media circuit and quite literally knocking on doors like one might see a politician do, asking everyone to give him their old chairs. The concept was to look at what we consider junk, what gives a material possession its value and to see what could be made from the things society throws away. And as it turns out, one can make an awful lot

from our collective remnants. There’s the sculpture itself—a two-storey cross, of sorts, boxed up nicely in the stone-tile open-roofed heart of the gallery where it is flanked by two piles of wedding chairs and a toilet buried in a water feature. Almost equally important, though, are the recorded stories from the people as they gave up their chairs for the project. The grandmotherly neighbour who left her belongings to a family she befriended who in turn saw fit to donate her rocking chair to the sculpture as part of her legacy. Another man who donated a beautiful fishing stool. “Beautiful” in its simplicity, that is. A big part of this project is defining what makes something aesthetically pleasing and getting people to think about why they like something, what makes it have value for them. Many people have been thinking about just what these particular chairs would be worth to them. “I’m thinking of doing some kind of an auction at the end and seeing if I can create some kind of value out of the chairs that had no value. Even the staff here are asking, ‘Can I get that chair after it’s done?’”

CHAD PRATCH with his rendition of the Kelowna Art Gallery’s exhibition series, Dysfunctional Chairs, in the gallery’s outdoor Rotary Courtyard. Pratch said. At the opening too, people were picking out their favourites, telling him what they would do with each chair. Pratch has created a knowledge-base for himself, as well, out of this sculpture, discovering how community—both the wider community of Kelowna and the artistic community in which he operates—influences his own creativity. From Berlin-based artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller he took the sound idea. Many
of those who donated chairs agreed to be interviewed on why they gave it up (including this reporter). The audio interviews all play simultaneously out of speakers buried in the piece. For those who remember Cory Dixon—the young artist fined for the clapboard advertisement of his art show which showed a naked man— Pratch said the pair are good friends and Dixon’s mother has been scrambling through the dump, salvaging chairs for him. Conduit Festival or-
ganizer Gabe Cipes gave him a slew of white, wooden wedding chairs, and in the back of the sculpture, the art gallery provided him with an actual slough of sorts. Green algae is now re-creating a toilet he installed in the water garden, texturizing the rim. In short, this project about junk became more of an active experiment with relationships—those between people, and those between people and their stuff. And it has also been about our collective rela-
tionship to art. “I found that a lot of people wanted to get rid of their chair, but they didn’t want to. Then when they heard it was for an art piece, well, because it had art beside it, that made it special,” said Pratch. If the number of chairs is any indication, there are a good deal of people in the Okanagan who hold art in very high esteem. Dysfunctional Chairs: Inanimate Phenotype will be in the Kelowna Art Gallery until Nov. 27.

Center of Gravity weekend nears sell out proportions Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
We all know how Kelowna is a very last minute city when it comes to buying tickets. Normally this is just fine because everyone does the same and there are plenty of tickets left at the doors when it comes to the day of the event. For Center of Gravity however, I will advise you to not put it off until the last minute because if you do, tickets will be gone. For the first time, Center of Gravity is nearing a sell out weeks before the event. Taking place in City Park and Hot Sands Beach in Downtown Kelowna from July 29 to 31, it’s no wonder why tickets are becoming harder to track down for Canada’s hottest beach festival. The last batch of tickets have been released and
can only be purchased on ClubZone.com. A threeday sport and music pass is $148 and gets you in on all the action for all three days so this is definitely your best choice. Daily concert passes are also available starting at $58 per day. The lineup was announced a couple of months ago and ticket holders are exhilarated to finally get to see the likes of Busta Rhymes, Calvin Harris, Chromeo and many more. But apart from all the great music that is going to be pumping around City Park all weekend, let’s not forget all the awesome sports action that makes up the other half of Center of Gravity. The weekend will

Action in the FMX shows will be led by Reagan Sieg and Jeff Fehr.

TOM HANKS and Julia Roberts in Larry Crowne.
The cast of characters, particularly Julia Roberts (Mercedes Tainot), were bland to the point of boring, with one exception being Roberts’ on-screen husband, played by Bryan Cranston. He alone seems to be believable as the layabout, web surfing, porno seeking egotist and I think this works because Cranston hasn’t been over-exposed in film. To cast’s two stars play a cynical professor with a drinking problem (Roberts) and an affable, but clueless middle aged Mr. Average (Hanks). Neither is romantic nor comedic. This was a little like Forrest Gump meets Mrs. Robinson, in a weird way.
Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and movie buff.
We get no sense that these two will have a future because, save for one bawdy kissing scene, there is nothing on the screen but friendship—we are left thinking that at any moment, Hanks and Roberts will burst out laughing, which if it happened, would provide the only real laugh of the whole show. It was interesting to see 74-year-old George Takei of Star Trek fame as a really creepy economics professor and Cedric the Entertainer (Cedric Kyles) as a perpetual hawker of second hand wares. Larry Crowne is a collaboration between Hanks and Canadian Nia Vardalos. The 2002, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, was a previous collaboration. This movie had none of the rich character and comedy that MBFGW
was so noted for. There were two memorable moments, however; seeing Hanks in his tighty whities, and the aforementioned kissing scene with Hanks and Roberts. The best line from the film: “…we used to, until Facebook and Twitter killed whatever attention span they had,” but even this brought only faint chuckles from those in attendance, who had already figured out that this is not going to win any awards and the best thing you can say is that it’s “light” entertainment. I really wanted to be entertained here. I wasn’t and I won’t waste any more ink on this review— save your money, there is better viewing coming up in July.

add to the mix and sauté a couple more minutes. Add the zest of one organic lemon, a tbsp of capers, a handful of arugula and some chopped fresh basil and parsley. Toss with pasta and top with fresh grated Parmesan. Fabulous. Be creative with additions, taste as you go and don’t overcook— fresh tomato sauces are a delight. Fresh peas and mint are a match made in culinary heaven. I like to make a batch of quinoa and then toss it together with sautéed peas and mint. Start by mincing some onion and shelling your peas. Heat a small
fennel bulb, sliced portobello, baby carrots, etc. Toss together with some olive oil, salt and pepper, wrap tightly and then cook on the barbecue until potatoes are tender and some are caramelized on the bottom. Delicious. I love to create pasta dishes with whatever’s in the larder. This time of year makes these creations extra easy, especially with the local herbs available in the garden. Mince some onion, chop some garlic, slice some mushrooms and sauté in some olive oil briefly. Quarter or halve cherry tomatoes and halve a handful of black olives,
dollop of butter with matching amount of olive oil and gently start sautéing the onion until translucent. Add peas and sauté just a couple more minutes—you want them to stay plump. Pour over quinoa, toss with the zest of one organic lemon and a handful of chopped fresh mint and Maldon sea salt to taste. Serve warm or cold—leftovers are scrumptious too. ••• There are two very special wine dinners coming up at one of our wine country’s most spectacular view wineries.

BEYONCE: 4 (PARKWOOD)
Beyonce is a bona fide diva and if you need extra proof check out the many fetish photos and loopy fashion notions that adorn this CD liner.
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell But Christina Aguilera is also a pop diva and her album last year, Bionic, more or less bombed by her own past hit and sales standards. Bionic did hit as high as No.3 in Canada and the USA but it scored only one low-level hit and was quickly forgotten. I predict the same sort of fate for Beyonce’s album number four. It is ballad-heavy and OK if she wants to turn into a neo-soul singer, but none of the songs stick with you. There have already been two singles released from disc four with 1+1 and Best Thing I Ever Had and both failed to enter Billboard’s top 50. So look for big early sales in her native USA before this disc quickly sinks out of the collective conscience. Musically, the material just isn’t memorable, but check out the lighthearted and breezy track number eight, Love On Top, and hear how the rest of this too-serious album could have sounded. C
ALICIA KEYS: SONGS IN A MINOR, DELUXE EDITION (J RECORDS)
This is the 10th anniversary edition of Alicia Keys’ breakthrough debut album recorded when she was 19 and released when she had just turned 20. The album made its debut at No.1 in North America because the gorgeous No. 1 charting ballad Fallin’ was released a few weeks prior to the album and tastes were certainly whetted. This Deluxe Legacy Edition has two CDs with the full album re-issued on disc one while the treasures on disc two are only so-so at best. There is the Grammy Award ceremony (where Keys took home five) live version of the hit A Woman’s Worth, sung with Nas, and the greatly altered and cinemat-
ic, dreamscape version of Fallin’ as it appeared in the film Ali. There is also a ‘funky demo’ of If I Was Your Women recorded when Keys was only 17 while the only real eye-opener here is the jazzy version of Butterflyz that has a cool improvised guitar solo from Carlos Alomar. In fact this jazz version could easily be an indication of Keys’ future when the pop/R&B music fades, as she is a superb jazz performer too. A-
54-40: LOST IN THE CITY (SMILIN’ BUDDHA)
54-40 celebrate their 30 year existence as a band with this new ninetrack CD that stands up with the superb level of most of their huge back catalogue. Main songwriter Neil Osborne usually comes up with insightful songs and the rest of 54-40 always locks into an interesting, propulsive and often rootsy groove. There isn’t a bad cut on Lost In The City but to my ears the ultra hooky Feast Of Ida and the R.E.M.-ish Good Man Feeling Bad really stick with you and demand repeated listenings. Osborne’s sly sense of humor is also found on the solid This Is The Way The World Ends (cool descending bass lines) with the lyric, “I coulda had religion but I didn’t pray, thank God for that,” but for the most part old 54-40 fans will delight in this new release. The band will be performing July 16 headlining at the Peachland festivities. And for trivia buffs, who knows you might even see Vancouver TV news anchor Tamara Taggart on scene as she is married to one of the blokes. B
PETER TOSH: LEGALIZE IT (COLUMBIA)
PETER TOSH: EQUAL RIGHTS (COLUMBIA)
At one time in the late ’60s and early ’70s there was no Bob Marley and The Wailers. There was just The Wailers and they were one of a dozen or more classic Jamaican ska-soul vocal trios, although they were also the most successful. When Island Records came along they figured they needed a band leader to allow the media to focus and hence Marley was chosen as the figurehead. But Peter Tosh was also a great songwriter with a commanding presence and a superb voice and after a few years forced into the background (except on stage if course) Tosh turned his attentions to solo work in the mid-’70s. His first two albums, shown above, are considered his best and groundbreaking reggae releases although they may sound somewhat quaint nowadays with their honest rootsdriven flavours. But Tosh penned and reproduced his old Wailers hits such as Get Up Stand Up, 400 Years and Why Should I Cry which are, to this day, still only considered in the camp of Marley leading the Wailers. Both these original vinyl albums had only nine tracks apiece but these legacy re-issues feature two CDs and 32 tracks on Legalize It and 30 tracks on Equal Rights. There are demo versions, extended takes, alternate renditions, dub plates and the original Jamaican albums before they were spiced up for world wide release. Both re-issues come with huge essays and extensive notes and are must owns for roots reggae fans and the tremendous legacy of Peter Tosh. A bwcmitchell@shaw.ca

Team Canada for two Jays
Osland sets course record at Eaglepoint
Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Two Kelowna Jays baseball players have been selected to play for Team Canada at the World Baseball Challenge beginning this weekend in Prince George. Jared Johnson, 26, and Cory Wood, 22, will join Team Canada for the six team tournament featuring Cuba, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Beijing, the Bahamas and the host Team Canada. "This is a big deal for them," said Jays head coach Geoff White. "It's not very often that you get asked by Team Canada to do anything. When you put yourself up against teams like the Cuban national team and Japan it's going to be tough baseball." Johnson and Wood have been two of the best Jays players so far this season. A shortstop, Johnson will play the infield for Canada while Wood, a right-handed pitcher, expects to come out of the bullpen. A Kelowna Minor Baseball product, Johnson says he's excited for the opportunity to play for Canada. "It's an honour," he said. "I've never been given the opportunity to put on the Canadian jersey. To get this opportunity is a once in a lifetime thing and hopefully it's a springboard to other
things." After rising through the ranks of minor baseball in Kelowna, Johnson played four years of college baseball in the US and was twice drafted by Florida's Major League Baseball franchise. He would never sign with the Marlins and returned to Kelowna to play senior baseball and also joined the coaching staff of the Okanagan College Coyotes. He says getting called by Team Canada is right up there with getting drafted. "Getting drafted was a huge honour but this is something I will remember for the rest of the my life," he said. "Just being around a world tournament will be really great." As for Wood, the Campbell River native has been living in Kelowna for the past several years as he played for the OC Coyotes. He's now completed his college career but remains a stalwart on the mound for the Jays, with four pitches he can throw for strikes. "This came out of nowhere for me," said Wood. "I had no idea. It's pretty cool and I'm excited about it." Johnson and Wood will play with the Jays at a tournament in Kamloops until Sunday when they are expected to join Team Canada to begin the World Baseball Challenge. You can follow the tournament

was a good eye opener for us in where we are at and where we need to be.” The Jays are in Kamloops this weekend and are also going to be hosting the men's baseball provincials on the August long weekend. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna junior golfer Megan Osland fired a new women's course record at Eaglepoint Golf Resort in Kamloops on Tuesday to take the first-round lead at the BC Junior Girls' Championship. Osland, a Kelowna Golf and Country Club member carded a sixunder-par 66 to take a two stroke lead after the first round of the championship. Round two teed off Wednesday morning, however results were unavailable at press deadline. "I'm pretty excited," said Osland. "At the end of May I shot a 66 to break the course record at Canoe Creek so I knew I could do it. “My drives today weren't amazing but I've really been working on my chipping and putting and that's what kept me in there." Sitting in third place at 1-under-par 71 is Soo-Bin Kim, of Port Coquitlam, and in a three-way tie for fourth place are Stephanie Wong, of Richmond, Ally Shin, of Port Moody, and
Jisso Keel, of Coquitlam, at even-par 72. Other local golfers are also competing. Kylie Jack of West Kelowna, a Two Eagles member, shot an 80 on her first day to sit 23rd. Fellow Two Eagles golfer Jess Kozak shot 81 and was 24th. Madison Kapchinsky of Kelowna Springs Golf Club shot 82 while Emily Nicol of Kelowna Golf and Country Club also shot 82. Two Eagles golfer Jessica Claggett shot 94. Meanwhile at the B.C. Junior Boys Championships at Birchbank Golf Club in Trail, Brett Moore of West Kelowna was the top local player after shooting 71 to sit in a tie for sixth after Tuesday's first round. Brandon Ortiz of West Kelowna shot 75 to sit 35th while Charlie Lewthwaite carded a 78. Other local players taking part are Michael Lee, Uday Suri, Lionel Taylor, Steven Lee, John Mlikotic, Trevor Pereverzoff, Matt Westfall and Adam Park.

SPORTS W TRACK & FIELD
Good results for runners at annual Brow meet Kelowna distance runners had good results last weekend at the annual Jack Brow Track and Field meet. Okanagan Athletics Club athletes took part in the steeplechase as one of the newer events at the meet and had good results for beginners to the event which features a few obstacles for runners to jump over. Daniel MedlandMarchen won the event in his age class while Michelle Blackburne was 4th, Cassie Laturnus 2nd and Veronika Fagan 3rd in their respective classes. Top performances by the older middle distance runners were turned in by Laturnus and Fagan, completing multiple distance events in the gruelling hot weather. Fagan was impressive in her first-ever club meet,
getting personal bests in all her events. Laturnus had a stellar meet and was particularly impressive in the 1,200m. She ran out front in the second heat, trying to beat the winning time from the first heat. She ended up second overall by a small margin and is looking forward to a re-match at the provincial championships. Davis Hughes-Geekie showed good versatility, competing in both sprints and the middle distance events with solid results. He took the gold in the 300m, in addition to bronze in both the 800m and 1200m. Junior development runner Taya Hanson was 2nd in the 600m and 1st in the 1000m in good times. Scott McKinnon also showed promise in his longer distance races.
Wakeboard season Windy conditions on the weekend may have forced organizers to move the first sanctioned wakeboard tournament of the season off of Wood Lake but that didn't stop local riders from cleaning up all the events. Several local riders claimed top spot in the first of three sanctioned wakeboard events this summer in B.C., hosted by the Lake Country Board and Ski Club (LCBSC). Nicole Elliot, 20, of Kelowna won the women's event while Keaton Roper, 15, from Lake Country, claimed first place in the junior men's (14 to 19) category. Eric and Sophie Schroeder of Kelowna both claimed their division with 11-year-old Eric winning the boys (9 to 13) division and nineyear-old Sophie winning the junior girls (under 13)
category. The pro event was won by Vernon pro Matt Bibby. Overall there were 20 competitors from around B.C., Washington and Alberta. "It was a smaller turnout than last year but the riders that showed up really put on a good show," said Lake Country Board and Ski Club spokesperson Cindy Roper. With windy conditions whipping Wood Lake into a frenzy Saturday morning, the event was moved to a quiet bay on neighboring Kalamalka Lake where conditions were perfect for the riders. "It was pristine," said Roper. "It was a beautiful setting and the water was calm for the riders." The event was the first of three wakeboard tournaments to be held in B.C. prior to the national championships which will be in

The B.C. circuit will head to Sprout Lake on Vancouver Island at the end of this month before an event is held in Deep Cove in Vancouver. The nationals in Kamloops will take place at the end of August. Many local riders will also take part in the Center of Gravity in Kelowna. The Lake Country club is one of the most active clubs in B.C. and
its riders routinely place in the top three at the nationals. Many of the sports pros compete or coach in Lake Country, like former world champion Steve McKinley, who is now coaching with the LCBSC. Hosting a sanctioned event is a lot of work but the LCBSC continues to host events. "We think it's important to keep the sport alive and all of our members
are willing to pitch in and do the work," said Roper. The LCBSC is supported by three local sponsors in Seca Marine in Lake Country, Hyperactive Water Sports in Kelowna, and Wakepilot in Osoyoos, which came forward to help with prizing for the tournament. LCBSC also runs many kids and introductory camps and you can find information about them at www.lcbsc.org.
Multi-hitters help out Falcons’ cause The Kelowna Falcons made their 14-hour bus ride back home a little easier on Tuesday night, putting up an 11-8 win in Klamath Falls, Ore., before hopping the bus back to Kelowna. The win meant the Falcons concluded their sixgame West Coast League
road swing with a 3-3 record. In the rubber match with the Gems on Tuesday the Falcons jumped out to a 3-0 lead after their first two at bats thanks to RBIs from Dillon Bryant, Greg Friesen and Keach Ballard. Paul Schwindell, mak-
ing his Falcons debut would give up the Falcons lead when the hometown Gems scored one if the second and four times in the third. He would last five giving up four earned runs, six hits while striking out six. After the Gems took the lead 6-4 in the sixth,
the Falcons offense came alive, scoring seven times on seven hits in the final three frames. The seventh inning was highlighted by Friesen’s third homer of the season and third RBI of the game to give the Falcons a 7-6 lead, only to have the Gems tie it in the home half of the inning. The two teams would trade runs in the eighth, but then Jeff Melby cracked his first homer of the season, a three run blast in the ninth to give the Falcons the lead for good. Ryan Paterson recorded the win despite pitching just 0.1 of an inning and giving up a hit. Cade Bowen would throw the
ninth and record the save, his third of the year. Five Falcons hitters had multi-hit games, as Nick Colwell continues to be hot finishing 3-5 with an RBI. The Falcons are now 8-19 in the WCL and will host the Corvallis Knights (14-12) for a three-game series beginning on Thursday night at Elks Stadium. That’s also Sack Pack night, when the first 200 fans will receive a complimentary Falcons bag courtesy of Budget Car Rentals, Okanagan Dodge, Tonic’s Pub and West Coast Authentic. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., first pitch at 6:30 p.m.

He went nine for 10 on personal best times, including taking 19 seconds off his 200 m freestyle swim. Jessica Forbes, 13, also qualified for the AAAs with a 30.20 in the finals of the 50m freestyle, good for a gold medal. Forbes

He swam a personal best to take bronze in the 100m fly and took almost 33 seconds off his 200m freestyle. Zach DaSilva, 10, swam as part of the swim stars. DaSilva broke six club records on his way to finishing fourth in the
10 and under swim stars competition. Winners were determined by their cumulative times in six events. DaSilva took out his own records with a 1:11.80 in the 100m free, 1:27.58 in the 100m backstroke and a 5:42.31 in the 400m freestyle.

The Canadian Grizzlies softball team, with several Kelowna players on it, celebrated Canada Day in Athens, Greece after winning a silver medal at the Special Olympics World Summer Games 2011. The Grizzlies softball team were part of the 107 member Team Canada contingent sent to Greece. Nine local Kelowna Special Olympic athletes were on the team which entered the tournament seeded in the top division. After splitting two close games with the Dominican Republic (8-4 and 10-8), the Canadian team went on to defeat Australia and claimed a silver medal after a tie-breaking formula was used. According to the rules of the International Softball Federation, if there is a tie, the winner is chosen by which team scored the most runs of the games that they played together. The Dominican scored 16 runs and Canada scored 14 runs so the Dominican Republic won the gold
