Funeral service offered online Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
When his mother-inlaw passed away in Kelowna last month, pastor Gerry Johnson tried to figure out a way family members, living in far flung reaches of the globe, could participate in her service. “We were looking to find some way to record the funeral,” he said from his parish in Alberta. “Like every funeral, not everybody can afford to travel, or have the time to attend.” That’s when they came upon a new service offered by Everden Rust Funeral Services and Crematorium, and those who thought they wouldn’t be able to take part in the ceremony tuned into a web-cast that bridged the distance. “We would always encourage people to gather together, but I think it’s the next generation for funeral homes,” Johnson said. “Most the family was there, but her son was on his way to Dubai during the time the funeral was scheduled, so when he got there he logged in and See Online A5

KELOWNA RCMP Cpl Steve Woodcox (centre) speaks with a Kelowna bylaw officer Tuesday morning about how another bylaw officer was nearly seriously injured by a falling telephone pole while directing traffic after the pole had been hit earlier that morning by a motorist.
Bylaw officer evades telephone pole mishap Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Police say a bylaw officer came within inches of suffering a potentially fatal injury after being hit by a power pole at a crash
scene on Tuesday morning. Around 10 a.m., police say a person was working on a pole that had been damaged after a single vehicle went off Spiers Road earlier in the day and cut a
wire, prompting the pole to swing. “The pole swung across, putting the bylaw officer between the tow truck and the pole,” said Corp. Steve Woodcox. The bylaw officer was
taken to Kelowna General Hospital to be checked over after suffering what’s been described as soft tissue damage. “It was my understanding that another six inches or so it could have
been a fatal injury,” said Woodcox. City Clerk Stephen Fleming said the bylaw officer was in the area doing traffic control in an effort to prevent drivers from hitting the Telus wires that
were on the road from the earlier crash. What exactly happened leading up to the pole swinging into the bySee Mishap A8

Watching out for the kids
SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
PORTIA DOVE AND JIM PATERSON, speed watch volunteers, operate the radar sign at North Glenmore school Tuesday morning to encourage drivers to slow down to 30 km/h when going through a school zone.
Back to school on Tuesday for students also means that drivers need to pay attention when passing through school speed zones. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Back to school brought the police out to schools as well Tuesday morning as officers monitored school zones from West Kelowna to Black Mountain. Drivers are asked to be extra vigilant this week as the adjustment period from summer to school year be-
gins and students get used to traversing busy roads to get to class. “Kids are coming back to school. Their heads are still full of summer and socializing and they’re sometimes not looking out for themselves the way that they should, so we really need to look out for them,” said Dave Gibson, auxiliary traffic safety officer. A smattering of government employees, ranging from police officers
to a community policing coordinator and the superintendent of schools, gathered outside North Glenmore Elementary Tuesday morning for a media photo opportunity. “This is our focal school this year because of the altered traffic patterns,” Gibson explained, pointing out the new Glenmore Bypass may catch some drivers off guard. The school zone, now on Snow-
sell Road, remains in effect, forcing drivers to slow down as they come up to the old section of Glenmore Road, renamed Snowsell. There is also a school zone on Union Road where traffic safety officers were monitoring parents dropping off their children. Failing to slow down in a school zone is a costly affair with fines ranging from $167 and three driver penal-
ty points to $253 and three driver penalty points for speeding in a school zone. Failing to obey a school guard or patrol garners a $167 fine, failing to stop for a school bus also a $167 fine, speeding in a playground anywhere from $196 to a $253 fine depending on the speed involved, and speeding in a school zone $196 to $253. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Apples tural office in Canada, and Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan around the West Kelowna winery over the weekend, as they talked about access to Taiwanese markets for B.C. wine and tree fruits.
W OKANAGAN WINE AND FRUITS
Attempt to lure Taiwan’s interest Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
In a country of 23 million there are bound to be affluent wine drinkers, and neither wine grapes nor cherries and apples grow well in the sub-tropical climate of Taiwan. So, it seemed fitting that David Ta-Wei Lee, representing the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada was interested in meeting with some of the Okanagan’s winemakers and orchardists during a brief visit over the Labour Day long weekend. Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan saw it as a great opportunity to facilitate contact between the top Taiwanese diplomat and local agricultural producers, with the idea that more wine and perhaps fruit might flow from the Okanagan to Taiwanese markets in the future. Already cherries from the valley are exported to that country, as are icewines from wineries such as Quails’ Gate, but Mission Hill Family Estate, for instance, does not yet
export any wines to Taiwan. The opportunity to meet with Lee brought Peter Wille, director of export for Mission Hill, in to lead a tour of the winery’s underground wine cellar and other facilities, with Cannan, Stockwell Day, Okanagan-Coquihalla MP, president of the treasury board and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, and Roland Yang, Lee’s executive-assistant on Labour Day. Wille said although the winery doesn’t yet export to Taiwan, he would expect the winery’s premium tier of wines would be selected for that market. Lee said he expects there would be a market for high-end red and white wines, as well as the icewines that are popular there. Until recently, he noted, Taiwan was the largest importer of icewine abroad. Today it is China. Rice wine, rather than icewine, is produced in Taiwan, he explained. Named Shaoxsing rice wine, he said it is a traditional drink, along with sorghum liquor, which
he said is 55 proof—a high-alcohol drink. However, today wine is something new which is of interest to the affluent class in Taiwan, he said. In turn, he envisions Taiwan exporting its information technology to Canada and to the Okanagan Valley. “There’s good potential for that here in the Okanagan,” said Cannan. He said he is showing Lee there’s more to B.C. than just Vancouver and Victoria’s Butchart Gardens. “Lots of Taiwanese tourists come here, but not all see Okanagan Lake,” agreed Lee, who compared this area to California’s Napa Valley or Switzerland. Lee described himself as a matchmaker rather than a businessman; a first contact for opening the lines of communication between business people from the two countries. “We’re planting the seeds. It’s difficult to say what will grow, but there’s lots of potential,” commented Cannan. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But why? Do you really know what makes an apple so special? Why is it that we never hear an orange or a banana a day keeps the doctor away? Apples have properties that no other fruits have and its benefits have been proven overtime. They are high in vitamin C and heart disease and cancer fighting anti-oxidants, and they are low in calories and help lower cholesterol and prevent tooth decay. Apples are loaded with all this health and goodness and the best part? They taste great and they’re grown right here in BC!!

watched the funeral.” Another family member is a WestJet pilot and after his shift he headed to his hotel room, logged on and watched the whole thing from there. The option to broadcast funerals has only been available in the last few weeks, but it’s already been used twice, said Jason Everden managing director and partner in the funeral home. “We’re not usually excited in our business, but this is exciting. It’s something different,” said Everden, who learned about the growing trend in a U.S. funeral-home trade publication. “I thought it was something we could get into, so we re-did our website with the intention of having it all along.” In addition to a tribute page for someone who has passed—which includes options to send flowers or condolences—those who are invited can view a service through a passwordprotected portal. “It’s just like seeing a YouTube video, the audio is really good, and a camera aimed toward the podium is mounted on the back wall of the chapel,” he explained. “Whoever speaks, will be on camera.” So far the two families who have asked for the option have had extreme circumstances to deal with. “The other family said a brother was doing missionary work in Africa, and he couldn’t just up and leave,” he said. “So, it doesn’t replace coming to the service. People will always want to come to funerals for the social part. But there are always pe ople who can’t make it.” For more information go to http://www.everdenrust.com.

The completion of the Highway 97 Bentley Road to Okanagan Lake Park project was celebrated this week by Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Stockwell Day and B.C. Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Shirley Bond, Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff and other community leaders. The new four-lane portion of Highway 97 from Bentley Road to Okanagan Lake Park creates a 35 kilometre stretch of continuous four-lane highway from Penticton to Greata Ranch, just south of Peachland. “This investment in upgrades to Highway 97 builds on the government of Canada’s commitment to improve highway safety across Canada,” said Day. “This work will make life better for commuters and residents in the Okanagan Valley and is just one of the partnership investments our governments are making through the Provincial-Territorial Base Fund.”

and roadside barriers. Construction crews were faced with a significant challenge in October 2008 when a large fissure was discovered on a rock slope above the highway just north of Summerland. The highway was closed for 19 days while the site was stabilized. About 55,000 cubic metres of rock had to be blasted from the site. “This project greatly improves the safety of an important stretch of highway,” said Barisoff. “It was a challenging project. I thank the workers for a tremendous job, and the travelling public and residents of the South Okanagan for their patience.” The province worked together with the government of Canada and its Building Canada infrastructure plan to fund the Highway 97 Bentley Road to Okanagan Lake Park project. Since 2001, more than $900 million has been invested in upgrading roads, highways, bridges and transit in the Okanagan Valley. The Highway 97 Bentley Road to Okanagan Lake Park project is one of the 23 active projects in the Okanagan Valley, valued at more than $320 million with expected completion by the end of 2012.

“We’re improving Highway 97 right through the Okanagan Valley to meet the needs of one of the fastest growing regions of the province,” added Bond. “By upgrading this stretch of Highway 97 to four lanes, we’ve created a safer route for residents, visitors and for commercial traffic in the Okanagan. I want to say a very special thank you to everyone who worked so hard to complete this significant project. “Without the skill and expertise of hundreds of workers, this project would not have been possible.” The project involved widening a seven-km stretch of Highway 97 to four lanes and constructing three km of frontage roads to consolidate local accesses. In addition to the improved mobility and reduced congestion, motorists will also benefit from safety improvements, including wider paved shoulders, rumble strips

Renovating?
Toy gun set off serious police response
- BATHROOM - WINDOWS - DOORS - DECKS -
W KELOWNA
Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A report of a boy playing with a handgun in central Kelowna prompted street closures, but in the end, police learned the gun wasn’t real. Despite the fact the gun was a replica, police say their tactical response was necessary to ensure the safety of the community. “As police, we have to take these situations seriously given that there are unregistered handguns and other firearms out there on the streets,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “The primary concerns are police and public safety.”
CONTRIBUTED
THIS REPLICA handgun was brandished by a youth playing in his front yard and drew a strong reaction from the Kelowna RCMP. After receiving a report that a young man with a gun was in the front yard of a home near Wilkin-
son Street and McBride Road around 1 p.m. on Saturday, police blocked off streets in the area, said
Sgt. Terry McLachlan. Officers eventually made contact with the 15year-old boy and his mother, who were unaware that police were called. Police seized an Airsoft pistol from the boy. He had started to black out the clear parts of the gun to make it look less like a toy. The boy, police say, had been discharging the pistol in his yard, which is not allowed in this city. “The Kelowna RCMP would like to remind everyone that it is a bylaw offence to discharge a firearm within the municipality of Kelowna,” said McLachlan. According to the bylaw, a firearm includes ri-
fles, pistols, shotguns, air guns, air rifles, air pistols and spring guns. “This means that even though you may be in your own backyard, within the City of Kelowna you cannot discharge any ‘firearm,’” said McLachlan. Police say they deal with several of these types of calls annually, and responding to them ties up essential resources and puts the public at risk, said McLachlan. However, Holmes also notes that, to his knowledge, they have not had anyone get hurt when dealing with a fake firearms call. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

Cops For Kids cyclists ready to roll Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Twenty five riders will be swinging their legs over the cross bar of their bicycles on Friday as they head out for a tough bike ride that marks a decade of Cops for Kids helping children in crisis. A breakfast will be hosted by Denny’s at the Sandman Inn on Friday morning to kick off the 10-day trek that will take riders to at least 19 communities in the Okanagan and Kootenay regions. “This is a labour of love for the dedicated riders who participate,” Cops for Kids said in a news release. “They endure many grueling kilometres and suffer many aches and pains, all to raise much needed awareness and funds to support the children they serve.” The ride, which is Cops for Kids’ signature event, symbolizes the journey sick children must take from illness to wellness and gives riders and crew the opportunity to personally thank the many in each community who have supported the cause. New to this year’s ride is a fundraising event called the Mayor’s Challenge. Mayors in many communities that the ride will visit will be “incar-

cerated” for approximately an hour before the ride comes to their community. The goal is to raise as much “bail money” as possible, in order to spring

charitable foundation raises funds to support children who must endure mental, physical and emotional crisis in the southern Interior. In the last decade, the
organization has raised more than $1.2 million. For more information about the organization, or to see updates during the ride, you can visit www. copsforkids.org.

Mishap from A1 law officer is under investigation. Because the bylaw officer is a City of Kelowna employee, their risk management and safety group has started an investigation, and WorkSafeBC has also reportedly begun their own probe into the incident. cweirda@kelownacapnews.com

There’s nothing like the perfect heart with striations etched right into the foam a talented barista is pouring. Now Kelowna’s freepouring coffee artists will be recognized for the feats they perform as customers wait to grab their slice of java culture each morning. This year’s Lake Country ArtWalk has a coffee theme, Gallery Grande, and part of the weekend events include sporadic coffee competition/demonstrations with international barista competitor Katie Weatherson
front and centre. “There’s no stencils involved, no sticks to draw with. We do it all from pouring,” said Weatherson, who works at the Rutland Bean Scene. It’s taken five years for Weatherson to hone in on the nuances of her art form—quick in the grand scheme of the ArtWalk contributors. Those who enter the event are not allowed to show their work twice, so the show is never the same and that’s exactly how most of the artists like it, the organizers say. “Many artists have told us that pushes them to develop new work,” said Sharon McCoubrey, Art-
Walk chairwoman and associate dean in the faculty of education at UBCO. There will be several brand new artists in this year’s show. People who are seasoned in their art, but either just decided to contribute or have just moved to the area, McCoubrey said. And new to the event for 2010 is a selection of student photography from the Centre for Arts and Technology’s digital photography department and the opportunity for attendees to try drawing a live model along with members of the Livessence Society for Figurative Artists. Now in its 17th year,
ArtWalk brings some 300 artists and musicians together with talents spanning from sculpture to jewelry making to fabric arts and beyond in what’s come to be known as the largest art show and sale in the southern interior of the province. Started by gallery owner Jody Lafontaine, who runs The Barn Gallery in Lake Country, it was originally a corporate event, though it quickly grew big enough to be called a community affair. From its first home in Holiday Park Resort, the work began showing in the George Elliott Secondary School. It is a two-day event
and is expected to draw 6,000 people. This year, a wine and tapas opening night reception will be held Saturday, Sept. 11 featuring Ex Nihilo Winery’s wine selection. Tickets for the reception will be available at the art sales table all day after the doors open for the first day of the affair. Following the reception, the Fab Fourever will take over Creekside Theatre with an energizing musical tribute to the Beatles. Audiences will be transported back in time as this iconic group delivers a performance filled with raw energy, witty humour and charisma. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS W OKANAGAN COLLEGE
Penticton campus also registering an enrolment boost Like other Okanagan College campuses up and down the valley, the Penticton campus is reporting another year of growing enrolment, up 20 per cent over last year, with the Penticton campus reporting a 53 per cent increase in registrations. “It definitely has been a busy summer,” said Donna Lomas, regional dean for the South Okanagan, adding that registration and admissions staff members have been putting in overtime dealing with the number of applications. “We are working our way through and we’re doing our best to provide students with as many options as we can,” she said. “We’ve still got a week before classes start and there is another two weeks where students can still register. So we’ve still got a ways to go.” The figures released this week only represent a partial picture, Lomas said, explaining that some courses, like trades programming, have start
times throughout the year. “The numbers reflect the programs that are starting at the beginning of September,” she said. “We have programs that start throughout the year that are not included in these numbers.” This year’s surge in student numbers will stretch the college’s lengthening record of exceptional growth, according to Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. “We’re seeing a 19 per cent year-to-date increase in registrations,” Hamilton said. “The pattern that has seen us grow more than 65 per cent in the last five years looks to be accelerating. “We’re now the largest college east of the Lower Mainland and the second largest trades training institution in British Columbia. We are bigger than Okanagan University College was when it split in 2005 to become Okanagan College and UBC Okanagan.” For each of the five
years since that transition, Okanagan College has outperformed provincial government targets for student spaces. Most important, says Hamilton, is that the growth means the college is providing much-needed education and training opportunities for the area’s citizens. “We’ve offered a growing range of programs throughout the region,” he said. Lomas said the growth at the Penticton campus is across the board and not focused on any of the particular program areas the campus offers. “When I look at it year over year, there has been a widespread increase,” she said, listing off increased enrolment in the college’s arts, sciences, criminal justice and trades faculties as well as the human kinetics and business programs. “Another area of growth that maybe reflects our economic times is that we’ve had a lot of interest in our adult upgrading
this year,” she continued, referring to mature students returning for specific courses, upgrading their high school education to be eligible for entering other post-secondary programs later on. “There has been, across the board, a lot of programs that have done really well…we’ve added some extra seats,” she said. So far, Okanagan College has registered 745 more students than it did last year at this point in the registration cycle. “There’s no doubt that we’re in a position where the staff is going to notice the increased number of students,” Lomas said, adding that with off-campus facilities like those the college leases at the airport and in downtown Penticton, the capacity for more students is available. “You have to be careful when you grow, we have to make sure we can still provide a good quality experience for all our students,” she said.

Fixing healthy school lunches With today’s busy schedules packing kids lunches for school can be a challenge. Even more challenging is including nutritious foods that will end up in your child’s tummy and not the trash. Packing nutritious lunches helps form lifelong healthy eating habits, and balanced nutrition can help your child concentrate, retain knowledge, and be more motivated to learn. “If you find that your child’s lunch often goes

uneaten, investigate why. Does their sandwich get squished in their backpack? Are they bored with apples for snacks? Often lunches are better received when kids have been involved in planning and packing them” said Interior Health community nutritionist Simone Jennings. To make lunch foods more appealing to kids, try reducing the portion size and increasing the variety. For example, instead of a whole sandwich, try half a sandwich with a few whole grain crackers and cheese, and some grapes or carrot sticks. If you like to bake, try making mini muffins and send two or three for a snack instead of one big one. Pack fruits and vegetables as finger foods with dip. Involve kids as much as possible when planning, preparing and packing lunches. The more pride your
child has in his lunch, the more likely he is to eat it. Remember that kids are often rushed at lunch time. Lunches with nutrient dense choices, including high protein foods like beans, nuts or meat will keep kids full and will help them concentrate all afternoon. Choose foods from each of the four food groups to provide balanced nutrition. To keep lunch foods per cent% juice box, milk or soy milk to act as an ice pack. Here are a few more quick and healthy lunch and snack ideas: • Slice pita bread into small triangles and serve with hummus for dipping • Create tortilla roll-ups: whole grain tortillas filled with tuna, peanut butter and banana, cheese and cucumber, or other fillings. Roll them up and slice them into 2” pieces • Put your child’s favourite sandwich filling into a
small whole grain bagel • Cook extra the night before: cold chicken drumsticks, pizza or pasta are great for lunch • Allow kids to ‘create their own combos.’ In a container with multiple compartments put whole grain crackers, crisp bread, or pita triangles, cheese chunks or slices, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pickles, sliced peppers or any of the favourite cracker toppings • Serve carrot, cucumber or red pepper sticks with a healthy dip •Slice up strawberries, blueberries, grapes or cubed melon with yogurt for dipping •Pack skewers of cooked meat and cubed cheese and veggies.

Educational Recreational Beginner Piano Program for Adults & Seniors
If you love music, have wanted to play piano or keyboard, it’s never too late to learn! Music at any age is good for the memory, focuses and balances you and most importantly exercises the brain. LOve KNOw PLAy offers that special something for the Adult & Senior population, most of whom have always wanted the chance to play the piano but feel they are now too old or that they will need a least three years minimum instruction before they will ever start to sound good. This program is ideal for them because it offers i m m e d i a t e satisfaction from the first lesson, with songs they can relate to. Learning to play the piano can be an enjoyable pastime at any age. LOve KNOw PLAy allows adults to fall in love with the piano and create music from the first lesson with both hands. Most people can accomplish in five to six months what traditionally take over two years. LOve KNOw PLAy is an international piano program that Paulette Breault, a music and
French teacher, brought to Canada and pioneered in Edmonton in 1981. Paulette now living in Westbank brings this program to adults and seniors. To love music is to know it believes Paulette Breault. “We are not teaching music to people,” she says, “We’re teaching people music”. Students in the LOve KNOw PLAy program learn to play before they learn to read standard musical notation.
Paulette who taught French as a second language says “People have to learn to talk before they can read”. “With the LKP program we teach them to talk music before we teach them to read music.” LOve KNOw PLAy introduces adult learners to the keyboard step by step from their first lesson - and keeps them there, through the careful collusion of theory and practical. LOve KNOw PLAy is
not a short cut program, but simply one that can give students a broader view of music. The program integrates theory technique with keyboard facility, improvisation, sight reading, ear training, transposition and creativity all built in from day one. LOve KNOw PLAy Okanagan Institute of Music’s focus will be for young adults (16 and up) adults and seniors that have always wanted to play the piano, meet people with similar interests, have fun learning, but most importantly accomplish their dreams of making music! Classes are offered in ongoing 8 Week segments to allow busy active adults & seniors to fit this program into their lifestyle. Adults wanting to experience the joy of making music but don’t have a keyboard, rentals are available. There are 2 locations available, one in Kelowna and one in Westbank. LOve KNOw PLAy music is now affiliated with Yamaha “World of Music”. For more information and to book a free demonstration lesson call Paulette at 250768-5089 or World of Music at 250-869-0819.

W PENTICTON
Man facing libel charges for publishing malicious posters The man allegedly behind a smear campaign against two Penticton businessmen has a warrant out for his arrest. Peter Guttormsson is charged with two counts of libel known to be false for publishing defamatory posters of two Penticton residents in January on Forestbrook Avenue and Winnipeg Street. RCMP said the 48year-old Guttormsson was released to appear in Penticton Provincial Court on Wednesday and the court registry confirmed that he did not show, resulting in a warrant being issued. RCMP said the man was arrested on Aug. 20 in relation to a defamatory libel investigation. Coun. Mike Pearce was one of the targets of Guttormsson’s posters that showed an image of Pearce with a photoshopped upper-lip mustache that mimics the kind worn by former German dictator Adolf Hitler. A slogan reading, “Vote for Mike Pearce Nazi Party” ran below the doctored image that appeared throughout downtown. Up to 12 of these posters were plastered around town. RCMP retained video footage that showed a Caucasian male in his 40s wearing a bomberjacket putting up a poster in the late hours of Jan. 27. Another poster campaign targeted a second Penticton man, with captions reading “Convicted sex offender” and “rapist, wanted by police.” At the time RCMP informed the public that the individual noted on the poster was not under investigation or wanted by police, rather he was “the unfortunate victim of a malicious attack.” “I’m happy that he was caught. This could do a lot of damage especially when there is alleged sexual issues,” said Pearce, who found out about the arrest on Aug. 20, but the information wasn’t released by RCMP until this week. “I’m also happy for the general public that (this) has been stopped. These were erratic acts, what the next steps were is what I really feared” Pearce said he does not know Guttormsson and has received a written apology from the person alleged to have put up the
posters. The city councillor and former mayor be-
lieves the attack could be tied to his political career.
“I have been in politics for 23 years and cer-
tainly this isn’t the first allegations I’ve had to over-
come, but nothing close to being compared to some
extreme right-wing idiot like Hitler,” said Pearce.

MLA Michelle Mungall calls on Foster to clarify the matter. “If Mr. Foster knew that the finance minister and the premier were deceiving British Columbians about the HST, he betrayed his constituents by keeping silent,” said Mungall, who represents Nelson-Creston.
“If he was kept in the dark and left to suffer the consequences—now is the time for him to stand up and speak out on behalf of the people who elected him.” Foster insists he has not been misled by government officials. “I have faith in the people who told me how the
sequence of events occurred,” he said. Mungall goes on to say that an internal study shows that the HST will reduce incomes and eliminate jobs. “If Mr. Foster wants to rescue his credibility he needs to condemn the sneaky tactics used by the B.C. Liberal premier and finance
minister to bring in the HST, and he needs to commit to doing his utmost to help scrap this unfair tax,” she said. Foster says he is tired of Mungall’s attacks. “If her party was in power, would they repeal the HST? They won’t answer that question.”
W FILM PRODUCTION
Major motion picture to be shot in Kelowna Kelowna’s brown hills will be the backdrop of a feature film that offers up a “twisted tale of greed, deceit, murder and wealth. Film Commissioner Jon Summerland announced Tuesday that this city, at long last, has been chosen as the site for a major film, to be called Pressed, which will provide an economic bump when it is shot in October. The film will star Luke Goss of Tekken and Hellboy 11, Michael Eklund
from Gunless and Landon Liboiron of Passchendaele. It’s produced by Navid Soofi and Jonathan DuBois of Qube Film. “The one-of-a-kind and diverse Kelowna locations and the knowledgeable team at the Okanagan Film Commission made Kelowna an obvious choice for our film,” said Soofi, adding the commission’s staff sweetened the pot by being so accommodating. It’s a major coup for the Okanagan Film Com-
mission which hasn’t been dealt the best hand. Working to expand the industry’s reach over a period challenged by recession, a high Canadian dollar and, for a brief stint, troubles within the film industry itself seemed to stymie its growth. But in recent months a silver lining has started to appear and this summer a major motion picture was shot in the valley. The film Big Year, starring Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen
Wilson, filmed earlier this summer in the Okanagan, said Summerland, adding it helped successfully promote the region to film audiences and producers on a global scale. That win, could very-well have figured into Pressed producers’ decision to head to the Okanagan. “Pressed shooting in Kelowna is the result of cultivating and sustaining relationships with key industry personnel from Canada, the U.S. and internationally,” he said.

Twongo Canada advocating group buying concept Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Purchasing practices born in China centuries ago have made their way to the Okanagan and if the owners of a fledgling company dedicated to its revival are right, it will ensure everyone has at least one exotic word at the tip of their tongue in the next year. “Twongo is the Mandarin word for groupbuying, which is a growing exponentially worldwide,” said Mike Minor, president of Twongo Canada, a company headquartered in Kelowna and dedicated to rallying consumers together to throw around hefty purchasing power. “Group-buying came from the Chinese who have been doing it for hundreds of years. “They would get all the neighbours together and get a deal on rice at the market.” Its modern-day cousin was born in the company Groupon in 2008. By offering daily deals on everything from pedicures to wine tastings in cities across the U.S., Canada and Europe, its become the newest online success story. Currently, its traffic is second only to YouTube and that made way for Twongo to get started in the US. As the Mandarinmonickered company got its footing south of the border, Minor and partner Barry Chretien saw a golden opportunity and bought the rights to its Canadian division, which launched locally two weeks ago. “Next is Vernon, Penticton and Kamloops,” said Minor. “Then, over the next year, we’ll move into Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.” Before it spreads, however, the local market will have to soak in the group buying ethos which Minor doesn’t anticipate will be an issue, despite the perception that the aging demographic who makes this valley home are reticent to new trends. “Boomers are just as active in Social Media as teens, Generation Ys and Xers, so we’re quite confident that once people see the value and the great deals, they’ll be inter-

ested,” said Minor, who pulled research from IBM business survey of 4,000 Canadians buying behaviours. “Boomers are also more likely to be coupon clippers and the ones looking for a good deal.” As Minor put it, Twongo isn’t about shilling lacklustre goods in the name of a bargain. It’s a marriage of high end goods with a splashy one-time promotion that “generates a buzz.” It augments traditional advertising, in that it’s not common fare, and the customers who have used it

locally so far, are pleased with the results. In the last two weeks Twongo has run two promotions in Kelowna— one with Chop the local salad-based restaurant and another with Wasabi, a downtown sushi hub. Both were successful and, in the case of Chop, allowed shoppers to get $25 of food for $12. “The more people who buy, the better deal everyone gets,” said Minor, adding 1,200 have subscribed to Twongo already. “You subscribe for free and every day we send you an alert describing what the big deal is… One deal, one day, and our deals typically range from 40 to 75 per cent off. It’s like our logo says, it’s the power of team buying.” To help the local company builds steam, however, they’re going to temporarily turn that motto on its head, and practice the power of team giving.
“In coordination with national launch, we will do an event with Rotary Centre of the Arts, where we work with the RCA, Hannahs, Beyond Rapture Day spas,” he said. From Sept. 20 to 24 deals from those spots and more will go up for grabs on the website, and half the proceeds made over that period will be diverted to the Rotary Centre for the Arts. The following Saturday they’ll hold the national launch party at the Rotary Centre and everybody is welcomed to come for food and entertainment. The event starts at 6 p.m., and rolls out throughout the night.

walked around to check the damage,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “The third, the Volkswagen driver, was staggering, showing obvious signs of alcohol impairment.” The driver provided breath samples that were
almost three times the legal limit. The Kelowna driver is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 18 to face recommended charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over .08.

Suicide: What you know could save another person’s life Would you know if someone close to you was contemplating suicide? Knowing the signs could help you save the life of someone you love. September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day and events will take place across Canada and around the world to promote suicide awareness and prevention. This year, the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention has chosen the
theme— “What do you know? What do you need to know? What you know could save a life.” Each year in Canada, suicide claims the lives of about 4000 Canadians. In 2008, almost 500 deaths in B.C. were attributed to suicide. The impacts of suicide are widespread, affecting millions of Canadians, including family, friends and community members who lose someone close
to them. “Recognizing the signs and looking at community approaches to prevention are key to helping people at risk,” says Jenny Turco, population health facilitator with Interior Health. Suicidal thoughts and attempts are much more common than suicide deaths. For every one suicide, there are an estimated twenty suicide attempts. “It’s important that
communities address the issue openly so people at risk feel comfortable speaking up and seeking help from someone they trust and/or from a healthcare professional,” adds Turco. How can suicide be prevented? There is no one easy answer, but knowing the warning signs can help you assist someone at risk. Warning signs of suicide:
• Threatens to attempt suicide • Talks about wanting to die • Has made suicide attempts in the past •Sudden changes in behaviour, appearance or mood • Increased use of alcohol or drugs • Deliberately injures themselves • Appears depressed, sad, withdrawn • Gives away personal

possessions How you can help: • Stay calm and listen • Let the person talk about their feelings • Be accepting; do not judge • Ask if the person is thinking about suicide • Take all threats of suicide seriously • Do not promise secrecy —tell someone • Connect the person with professional help. Learning about the resources available can also assist in the prevention, intervention and treatment of suicidal behaviour. Help is available for those who are feeling suicidal through crisis lines such as 1-800 SUICIDE, local Mental Health and Addictions Services, family physicians and hospitals. Many communities also offer suicide survivor support groups. Websites such as http://www. crisiscentre.bc.ca or http:// youthinbc.com/ are also available. Community-based approaches to suicide pre-

vention include suicide prevention planning committees, inclusive community development practices, peer mentorship, programs and activities that promote family, school and cultural connections, and individual coping and problem-solving skills. Some organizations also offer suicide awareness and intervention workshops. For more information on suicide awareness and intervention workshops visit http://www.livingworks.net/, or attend one of the World Suicide Prevention Day events happening in communities across the region on September 10th. The Okanagan Suicide Awareness Society (OSAS) is offering Suicide Talk, a free education event for the public. It will be held at the Canadian Mental Health Association, 504 Sutherland Ave. , on Sept. 10, from 10 a.m. to noon. Details can be found at www.suicideawareness. ca.

Learn to garden using less water Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
This fall’s water-wise gardening classes, with instructor Gwen Steele, executive-director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association, begin Monday, Sept. 13. Each two-night class is an introduction to the seven principles of xeriscape, explains Steele, with practical information for people who want to make changes to an existing garden or those creating a new landscape. Steele uses her extensive collection of photos to illustrate the principles of design and planning, soil improvement, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, the use of mulch, good maintenance and appropriate plant selection.

Prelim hearing date for Schaefer case set A preliminary hearing for a man accused of manslaughter in the July 2008 death of Brian William Schaefer is scheduled to get underway today at the Kelowna Law Courts. Blake Edward Nahachewski, 25, was arrested in November 2008, some four months after the 55year-old Schaefer died. Police say the victim was “severely beaten” in his Gellatly Road home on July 4, 2008, but they didn’t learn of the alleged assault until later, when paramedics were summoned to treat Schaefer’s injuries. He was taken to hospital and eventually died on July 27. The preliminary hearing is scheduled to last three days and will be used to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial. Nahachewski is currently on bail.

ple started and show them where to go for more information. Despite what some people think, xeriscapes are colourful and attractive. There’s a wide range of waterwise plant species available, so almost any style of gardening is possible, she advises. Those taking the OXA courses will learn simple ways to drastically reduce landscape water use, while at the same time, saving time and money. “There’s less mowing, weeding, watering and fertilizing needed when you’re gardening with Nature instead of trying to grow water-loving plants in a naturally-dry climate,” said Steele. Appropriate plants will thrive in this climate and healthy plants are resistant to pests and diseases, so
you reduce or eliminate the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, she says. Classes are held at the H2O Adventure and Fitness Centre, 4075 Gordon Dr., 7 to 9 p.m. The first set of two evenings are Mondays, Sept. 13 and 20; then Thursdays, Sept. 16 and 23. As well there will be three sessions in October, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Mondays. For details and to register, go to the OXA website at: www.okanaganxeriscape.org The cost is $50 a person or $45 with an OXA membership, which is also available on the website. The website also includes a comprehensive database, with photos of plants suited to xeriscaping in the Okanagan. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Injury derails Barrie set for Avs rookie camp Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With the hardest working summer of his life behind him, Tyson Barrie was certain he had left nothing to chance. The Kelowna Rockets rearguard felt ultimately prepared in his bid to try and crack the lineup of the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche. What he hadn’t planned on was an untimely injury. The WHL’s defenceman of the year in 200910, Barrie is expected to miss three to six weeks of action with a partially torn right hamstring. In turn, he’ll miss all of the Avs rookie camp this weekend in Denver. Barrie suffered the injury during a team scrimmage on the final day of Rockets training camp last Thursday at Prospera Place. “Somebody kind of leaned on me and I guess my leg was just over stretched and I just felt a
pop, so I knew right there it wasn’t good,” Barrie said. Colorado’s third choice in the 2009 entry draft, Barrie will head to Denver Friday where the NHL club’s medical staff will do its best to nurse their 19-year-old prospect back to health. Whether Barrie actually gets on the ice to strut his stuff for the Avs remains in question. “It’s usually an injury that takes three to six weeks, but I’m hoping for more like two to three, so that when I get down to Colorado, you know I give myself a chance to show how hard I’ve been working this summer and show them that I deserve to be there.” Due the recent trend of NHL teams promoting young players—former Kelowna defenceman Luke Schenn and Tyler Myers among them—the Rockets were bracing for the possibility that the talented Barrie may not return to them for the 2010-
11 campaign. However, the injury has made it more likely the skilled Victoria product will spend the season in major junior. If that’s the case, head coach Ryan Huska said there is still plenty for Barrie to look forward to. “As tough as it is to say sometimes, hockey is full of breaks, you can take advantage of them when they’re positive, and you have to deal with them the best you can when they’re not,” Huska said. “Tyson is, I think, in a position where he can maybe focus on our club a little more and focus on having a good start to the year so he can get an invite to world junior camp. It’s unfortunate what’s happened to Tyson, but he can still make a positive out of all this. Hopefully it will go well for him down in Colorado and we’ll see what happens from there.” While the latest twist in his hockey career has come as an unwelcome surprise, Barrie remains
optimistic. “Having worked so hard all summer, it’s definitely been a bit devastating, bad timing more than anything else…but just even having had a few days to think about it, I feel better,” said Barrie, who had 72 points in 63 games last season. “I’m optimistic right now, I think that two weeks to come back isn’t unrealistic, that should put me around when main camp starts down there, so hopefully I’ll be ready to go for that.”

Warriors launch campaign vs Vees Elmore solid 4th in Croatia The 2010-11 edition of the Westside Warriors will feature ample depth on the back end as they launch the BCHL regular season this weekend with a home-and-away set this weekend against the rival Penticton Vees. The clubs face off this Friday at 7 at Royal LePage Place, then will meet for a rematch Saturday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. With the acquisitions of veterans Tom Kroshus (Camrose, AJHL) and Matt Cronin (Drumheller, AJHL), and the additions
of 17-year-old blue liners Brayden Sherbinin (Nelson Leafs) and Michael King (Prince George midget), head coach and GM Darren Yopyk is confident the Warriors will be in good hands defensively. “Our D corps is excep-
tional,” said Yopyk. “We should be able to move the puck pretty well and also play a pretty physical game.” Yopyk said a solid work ethic and a physical approach will be the key to his team’s success this season in the always competitive Interior Division. The Warriors, who finished third last season, will be led into battle by veteran forwards Alex Grieve, Kyle Singleton and Grayson Downing. Newcomer Kevin Boyle from New Jersey and returnee Cam Gor-
chinski will handle duties between the pipes. As for opening the new campaign against the Vees, Yopyk said there’s no better test for his charges. “They’re a very good team, they’ve acquired a lot of players, and once again they’re a team to beat,” Yopyk said. “We’re going to get right at it here off the start and see how we stack up.” The Warriors, who dropped a 5-4 contest to the Centennials Saturday night in Merritt, finished the exhibition season with a 2-2 record.
Kelowna’s Malindi Elmore held her own and more in a field of world class competitors at the Continental Cup track and field meet in Croatia. On Saturday, running for the Americas, Elmore took fourth spot in the women’s 3000 metres in a time of nine minutes 5.75 seconds. Her clocking was just 2.42 seconds back of winner and world record holder Meseret Defar of Ethiopia (9:03.33) Alemitu Bekele of Turkey was second
Malindi Elmore (9:04.08) while Shannon Rowbury of the U.S. third (9:04.82). With a field featuring the world record hold-
er, as well as Olympic and world champs, Elmore exceeded her pre-race goal of a top-six showing. The event followed a team format with four continents—Americas, Asia-Oceanie, Europe and Africa—competing for an overall points title. Powerhouse Europe edged past the Americas to win the Continental Cup. Elmore was one of six Canadians on the Americas team which also featured athletes from the U.S., Central America and South America.

W HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Loffler leads KSS Owls Taylor Loffler was in fine form for his first game as a senior as the Kelowna Owls throttled Oroville, Wash. in exhibition high school football action Friday night at the Apple Bowl. The 6-foot-4 200 pound quarterback ran for two touchdowns, threw a pair of TD passes to Sam Davies and Carter Bilawchuk, then ran a kick back 87 yards for a major in a 53-7 Kelowna win. Loffler, who is headed for Boise State next season, was dominant against an overmatched Oroville squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very exciting player to watch,â&#x20AC;? said Owls coach Ron Anderson said of Loffler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oroville is a small school and they had eligibility issues with a couple of seniors, so they were a bit undermanned. They played hard against us, but our guys played pretty well.â&#x20AC;?
Brook Blackmore, Nathan Brown and Graham Fawcett ran for Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other majors. On defense, Cole Mosychuk led the way with nine tackles and a sack. The Owls head into the 2010 season as the No. 4 ranked AAA team in B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we deserve it, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect it,â&#x20AC;? added Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our conference doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually get that kind of recognition.â&#x20AC;? KSS will travel to Vernon Saturday to battle Clarence Fulton in preseason action.
BEARS VS. VOODOOS
Neither Mt. Boucherieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Godwin nor Rutlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shane Sommerfeld paid much attention to the scoreboard Friday at the Apple Bowl. For both coaches, the first preseason game of the 2010 season was
much more about learning their personnel than trying to beat their opponents . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shane has a lot of new guys heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to work in, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of the same thing with us,â&#x20AC;? said Godwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our numbers are down a little this year, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some new guys, good athletes, but guys who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played a lot of football before. There was a a lot of coaching involved on both sidelines and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be like that for the first few games.â&#x20AC;? In the end, the Bears came away with a 30-18 victory. This Friday, the Voodoos will visit Hugh Boyd, while the Bears host College Heights Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Apple Bowl. In AA exhibition action, the OKM Huskies will make their season debut Saturday at John Barsby in Nanaimo.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING: Karate really is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whole packageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It stimulates the mind, body and soul. It is very challenging and rewarding without ever being boring! It really is more of a way of life than â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just another sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I find that the benefits that I have gained through my Karate training have carried over into my daily life as well. I have more self confidence and self awareness not to mention, I have never been this fit before in my entire life!

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for exercise, acquiring skills, or as a sporting lifestyle, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere else Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather be training.

Face off at the Capital News Centre is 5:15 p.m. Antisin returned from Switzerland this week where he was attending a charity event for two of his former European teammates who are both suffering from ALS. Antisin played profes-

A new BCCAA soccer season kicks off this weekend on the Lower Mainland for both UBCO teams. The women’s and fmen’s squads will be in Vancouver Saturday to battle the Langara Falcons. t On Sunday, the Heat twill be in North Van to take on the Capilano Blues. The UBCO women closed out their exhibition schedule last weekend at home with a couple of convincing wins over King’s College of Edmonton. f With the Alberta team playing its first games of the season, the Heat took advantage of the situation with 7-0 and 8-0 wins. “It was a good weekend we really got a chance to build our confidence in our scoring ability,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson. “I expected our team to dominate the matches as this was King’s first weekend of games and we have several under our belt. “We worked on many things in a game setting which was great as we are trying to fine tune our play

In the men’sA doubles, Bennetto and Maarschalk won the title over Jeremy Bell (Vernon) and Alex Kotai (Abbotsford) in three sets, 6-3, 6-7, 6-1). The mixed A doubles saw another close match as Rosie Schaich (Kelowna) and Jason Friesen (Kamloops), won over Katrina Lidster (Kamloops) and Bob Langford (Salmon Arm), 6-3, 6-4, to win the championship.

Birthday parties, lawn bowling and planting bulbs FROM THE GROUND UP
M
Don Burnett
y wife Donna and I attended the celebration of Gerry Jones Evans’ birthday last Sunday and had a wonderful time seeing several of our friends. It’s nice when people such as Gerry and her family put these events on because it makes it possible for people to get together for some good old fellowship in a casual at-
mosphere to share stories and memories. Happy birthday Gerry and thanks for the hospitality. ••• Last Friday night I had the opportunity to try my hand at lawn bowling at the Kelowna Lawn Bowling Club facilities in City Park. What a hoot! The club just celebrated its 100th birthday last year and the alumni of past members are a who’s who of Kelowna men and women. In the spring I wrote about the club and at the time there were issues with the green falling into disrepair. Well that is all behind them now as the green looks just fabulous thanks
to the wonderful work of the new hard working greens keeper, Martin Kroll. I really believe there is a sleeping giant looming in City Park disguised as a bowling green. I don’t curl but I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts curlers would love the sport of lawn bowling. It’s not the same as pin bowling in that the balls are not round; they are oval with the highest point just slightly offcentre, giving the bowl a “bias” side. Once thrown, a lawn bowl will curl towards the bias side. This is what makes lawn bowling so much fun since
club had a short season this year but is looking forward to opening for a full season next spring. If you are interested in participating in this great activity give Byron Nate 250-860-0887 or Gil McGarva 250-448-6210 a call for more info. Come on Kelowna lets get bowling! ••• This is the time of year to get planting some spring blooming bulbs; tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocus to name a few. The fall shipments are arriving at the garden centres now and it is wise to get in while the selection is good. Here are a few suggestions for success. Buy only premium sized bulbs. These will have much more blossoms and will be more apt to come back each year. Plant in group-

small white ball, called the jack. I was concerned we would run out of light but guess what; they have enough lights to light up the entire green and we bowled well into the evening. Because of the refurbishing of the greens the
ings or “drifts” for best effect. Choose bulbs according to blooming times and heights not just colour. Leave some spaces in between your bulb groupings for annuals. And most importantly don’t hesitate to plant early. The earlier the bulbs get in the ground the better chance they have of developing that important root system. Don’t listen to people that tell you to not plant until October or November because they will start growing before winter. Spring blooming bulbs will not grow until spring, whether they are planted in the fall or they have been there all along. They need a cooling period before they bloom and that is called winter.

issue, any quick solution probably will not be forthcoming. Recently, a group of central Ontario parents became worried that wireless technology in schools were making their kids sick. These parents felt their children were showing a variety of symptoms, ranging from headaches and dizziness to nausea and even racing heart rates, that they attributed to wireless technology exposure. The problem is a lot of money has been invested in providing the WiFi infrastructure access in schools, so I don’t expect potential health concerns to children at this point as overriding that investment. There is also a liability issue involved, which would explain this comment from Health Canada on the matter: “Health Canada has no scientific reason to consider the use of wireless commu-

John Sherman nications devices, such as cell phones, Blackberrys, wireless laptop computers and their supporting infrastructure, dangerous to the health of the Canadian public.” On the other side of the argument the claim goes like this—the longer people are exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), the more sensitive they become to them, and the symptoms become more severe, argues Magda Havas, an associate professor at Trent University, who has been conducting electromagnetic research for 20 years. In a recent Edmonton Journal story about Barrie Trower, who specialized
in microwave “stealth” warfare during the Cold War, he said there are no scientific studies that categorically state there is no harm from prolonged exposure. Trower also warned that we could be threatening the health of future generations of Canadians who can be affected by microwaves at the DNA level. “When I realized these same frequencies and powers (used as weapons during the Cold War) were being used as Wi-Fi in schools, I decided to come out of retirement and travel around the world free of charge and explain exactly what the problem is going to be in the future,” Trower said in the article. Let’s face it, we basically have a weak microwave cooking your child’s brain for six or seven hours per day, maybe more if you have wireless at home. Locally, School Dis-
trict 23 has said that no parents have raised concerns over this issue. I am thinking this may be the year they start to do just that. Every one who has a stake in this will be getting into the debate if questions continue to be raised. The interim simple solution may be to plug the computers back into the hard-wired outlets and see if the symptoms get better. You just have to understand where the money is to know that this will not be an easy one. If you look to history for answers, you just have to look around and see that the cell tower issue has never really gone away. It’s just buried in bureaucratic red tape.

The effects, ranging from mild and hardly recognizable to severe, last a lifetime. “The good news is that FASD can be prevented,” said Patty Hallam, Interior Health prevention services program consultant. “We all have an important role to play in encouraging and supporting pregnant women to avoid alcohol during pregnancy and we can start by becoming more informed.” It is estimated that nine
in every 1,000 babies are born with FASD. This means that more than 3,000 babies are born in Canada each year with FASD and many Canadians are living with the effects. The second annual FASD Awareness Day activities in Kelowna take place Thursday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Central Okanagan Child Development Centre, 1546 Bernard Ave. There will be information booths, activities and presentations by community agencies.

This will be the Toronto band’s first time back to Western Canada after their very successful tour with Blue Rodeo earlier this year. Cuff the Duke will be joined by opener Christina Martin, from Halifax, whose music is a blend of acoustic, folk, country and rock. Having spent several years carving their teeth on the road with the likes of The Sadies, Sloan, Hayden, The Weakerthans, Calexico and Nick Cave, Cuff the Duke are poised to make the jump from indie-scene-darlings to bona-fide Canadian music icons.
Their latest album, Way Down Here was co-produced by Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor at his barn studio in rural Ontario. Having played in venues ranging from Canada’s small clubs to many of the country’s largest arenas and concert auditoriums, Cuff the Duke have earned their road stripes. Tickets for Cuff the Duke at Habitat are on sale now and available at estore. thehabitat.ca, Leo’s Video, and Tweaked and Yummy Vintage Apparel. Advance tickets are $12 and $15 at the door. Doors open at 8 p.m. with the show starting at 9 p.m. Habitat is located on Leon Avenue in downtown Kelowna.

Sockeye catch raises questions
T
o make the tough job of managing and protecting our salmon resource even more confusing, sockeye salmon seem to be making a comeback in the very summer when the federally appointed Cohen Commission is studying their disappearance. So we ask the question, is the commission still worthwhile if this year turns out to be a strong sockeye year, showing that their
demise has been greatly exaggerated? The answer is—he inquiry should proceed aggressively and thoroughly to determine the reasons for the three previous disastrous seasons. Then, thanks to the honest testimony from all involved, combined with rigorous research, perhaps some answers can be found to explain why sockeye vanished one year—

then returned the next. It’s never easy to be conclusive about natural cycles. But it is easy to draw conclusions after the fact, such as the over-fishing that destroyed the Atlantic cod. We cannot make the same mistake with B.C.’s iconic fish, the sockeye salmon. The species means too much to all British Columbians – from the First Nations who first har-
vested them, to the resort and sports fishing industry that shares them with visitors from around the world, to the severely diminished commercial fishery—all groups agree on protecting the resource. There may be differences in how that’s achieved, but one message from all groups is clear. And that is—do what is necessary to save the sockeye.

school, the morning ritual is more a case of staying out of her way while she gets ready, providing the perfunctory praise for the hairstyle and outfit of the day and hoping there will be enough hot water left for my shower. That is, of course, when I finally get into the bathroom. If I can avoid tripping over a tangle of hair straightener, curling iron, and blow-dryer cords, as well as maneuver past an array of make-up containers that would make a ’70s glam rock star envious, all the better. But my daughter is pretty self-sufficient, so she is often better prepared to meet the day than I am. Still, most
of our tense moments as father and daughter tend to be in the mornings before school as I nag too much and she talks back. I like to think of it as a draw in the never-ending contest of wills by parent and child. But back when I was in school, life was different. During my elementary school years, it was pure textbook urban Canadiana. My dad went off to work each day, my mom stayed home and my brother and I could walk to our local school with our friends. (That was before my parents turned into walking adverts for divorce lawyers everywhere.) Picture Mad Men without
the drinking, infidelity and worst of all, the advertising. Before and after school my mom would be there, usually with some sort of a snack in hand. Nowadays it’s computers, cellphones, text messages and video games that provide the after-school company for many kids. The latch-key has been replaced by the Nintendo Wii. But back to school remains a happy time for most parents—happy because the little darlings have resumed their education, they are back among their friends learning and, most of all, are out of the house during the day.

Some thoughts on full-day kindergarten To the editor: The moves in Ontario and B.C. to have full day kindergarten are promoted as job creation and as the only way kids will learn and earn. Such arguments assume children at home learn nothing and that parents are incompetent. The jobs created are mostly for the kindergarten and daycare staff, highly unionized, or for low paying jobs for harried women who often would rather be with their babies. When we assume mothers in poverty are
poor mothers we slap women in the face as if the thing they cherish most they are worst at. Kids not only don’t learn exclusively in kindergarten, some don’t even learn best there. The more kids in the room, the more distractions, the less learning. We should instead fund children directly and let parents pay for hiring the care they need for ages 4 to 5. Some will hire out, some will teach at home. Let them. Beverley Smith, Calgary
To the editor: When did education become a race? According to world-renowned family therapist and parenting author Steve Biddulph, full-day kindergarten for 5-year-olds is too long, and any younger is a big mistake developmentally. A major review of British primary schools by Cambridge University stated the practice of allowing children to start school at age four was found to be stressful. Its authors found that in some countries where
students start school up to two years later, many outperform their English peers. Many parents like fullday kindergarten as it is convenient for those who would otherwise seek out daycare for the other half of the day. But kindergarten is more rigorous and task-oriented than daycare, and many 5-yearolds will find full-day kindergarten too demanding. In kindergarten there is less opportunity for free play, which is crucial for a child’s development Articles touting full-
day kindergarten say it won’t look much different from half-day kindergarten, except teachers will have more opportunity to extend the play-based learning. But play-based learning is not free play. What the government should be doing is creating full-day kindergarten for those 6-year-olds who would benefit. It’s too late to put full-day kindergarten on hold for this school year, but the government should investigate the Finland model. David Buckna, Kelowna

A few not so offended by human skin in paper To the editor: Re: New(d) Attitude, Aug. 29 Capital News. Wow, banishment, shame, and disgrace— all because of a picture of nude people. Personally, I had absolutely no problem with the picture and article. I have children and they have not been permanently scared. Instead, we had a great conversation about how we feel about our bodies, art, and our community. I thought that those of us in the silent majority should write in to at least present a balanced story. I was not in the least shocked or dismayed. I find it rather amusing that a community that
does nothing to protest the strip clubs that operate downtown or stop the “johns” who regularly pick up children for paid sex on Bertram and Leon/ Lawrence or the sale of pornography at multiple sites is so up in arms about a nude picture. I read a recent study that said that the most conservative areas in the U.S. are also the highest users of pornography. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the people most upset about this nudity are wearing their wives’ underwear, frequenting adult stores and spending lots of time online. Susan Hillock, Kelowna
To the editor: Many years ago, in the days of Simpsons-Sears and Eaton’s catalogues, some people were scandalized by the “pornographic” ladies’ underwear sections, with their scantily clad models. Such reactions to pictures whose purpose was nothing more than an honest effort to show women what undergarments were
available to them, were generally recognized as the rants of people who saw pornographic, evil, sexual temptation in any image revealing the partially uncovered human form. These unfortunate souls whose minds seemed to be obsessed with imagined sexual enticements, showed themselves to be emotionally
and sexually backward. When I read the ludicrously scandalized letters in Wednesday’s edition of the Capital News concerning the front page picture of the previous Sunday’s paper, I realized that the unfortunates of 40 years ago are still with us.
To the editor: I loved this article, actually one of the few times I picked up your paper. I loved the line about the hillbilly extremist attitude in Kelowna. I’ve only been here
over one year and am really turned off by how overly conservative it is. The poor gay community didn’t even get a proper pride celebration. No parades or rainbows? So sad.
I miss Edmonton at these times as it was way more tolerant of people. The comments pissed some people off because the truth hurts. M. Wood, Kelowna
John Ryder, Kelowna
Some would have artists’ voices outlawed To the editor: To start with, a very well written letter to the editor by Dirk Handke regarding the article published in the Capital News. The only thing I object to in that particular letter is suggesting that the artists in the story are trying to make a name for ourselves through shock value. I can tell you, having been an artist in this valley for eight years, I don’t need to make a name for myself in that manner but, through these years, have been the recipient of such archaic, ultra-conservatism that it makes me shake my head in wonder and sometimes anger. I have no problem with others’ opinions but when it is being inflicted as a form of control, of what I (or anyone else, including the Capital News) can and cannot do, then I take issue. One of the other many letters says that the Cap News is a community
newspaper, and that no one needs to see “that sort of thing” on the cover. Well, I, and other artists, are also part of this community. Are you telling me we do not have the right to have our voice heard? That we should be suppressed and banned from inviting people to be educated about our work? Why should we be ashamed and shoved under the carpet or into the closet? Are you really telling me that your viewpoint is more important than mine or anyone else’s? A worry is about children seeing the cover and that it should have been rated 14A. What an interesting thing to say. My 16-year-old son, when asked what his opinion was, said that kids see far more at the beach than they did on that cover. I would also bet that they know much more about the human body than people give credit. Naked Barbie Dolls show more

than that cover. That cover was no more “shocking” and far, far less suggestive, than any of the major magazine displays at the grocery store checkouts. And if you think little Johnny is not looking at the latest cover of any of the women’s magazines, quite simply, you are naive and unaware. The article by Jennifer Smith was incredibly well written, researched and explored. One of the ideas discussed in the article and the front page photo was to show that there are real people behind the artwork. People—not still life, or boxes, or vases— but real people who have a story. They are also in this community, contribute to this community, they have lives, and pain, and joy and experiences. To suggest that they are immoral is astounding to me and reminds me more than just a little of the gay rights movement. What a judgement. What would God say about your
right to judge? No one is telling you that you have to like or buy nude art. I don’t like seeing crashes on the front page, or shoes left behind of children who have died as a result of stupidity and negligence, or animals who have been abused. These other stories are part of this community experience and are valid. Perhaps it would make these ultra-conservatives
happy that morals are being observed if all women wore a burka. From their comments, I think that is a secret wish in their heart. Well done, Capital News and Jennifer Smith. In my eyes you stepped up your game and made yourself a contender in the valley by taking a risk. That’s what life is about, isn’t it? Julia Trops, Kelowna

Municipal retirees look to strengthen lobby voice
The Municipal Pension Retirees Association is an association of retirees who worked in municipalities, health care, fire and police departments, school support staff, libraries and other small public sector employees.

She feels blessed to be born in an era that has the technology and funding to treat and cure her cancer.

BUSINESS ▼ UBC OKANAGAN
Returning students rally around campus newcomers Robyn Kosugi remembers the thrill and excitement of walking onto the UBC Okanagan campus for the first time. The third-year UBC and second year nursing student recalls the anticipation of officially becoming a UBC student, and attending UBC’s Okanagan campus. On Tuesday, Kosugi hopes to help other new UBCO students feel welcome to the campus and comfortable making the transition to post-secondary education. “My experience as a first year student during my
first day on campus was one of excitement and fun,” Kosugi recalled. “When I arrived on campus, a returning student, volunteering their time for the day, helped me get my bearings on campus. “The returning student showed me all the spots to study and socialize.” Orientation leaders are the faces of UBC Okanagan campus’ Create: New Student Orientation. Leading a small group of new students around to various
sessions and workshops, the orientation leaders have a huge impact on new students during the orientation process. “Our student volunteers are the key to the day of Create,” described Adam Goodwin, event coordinator. “We’ve spent months planning the first week of school for students. We can plan as much as we want; it’s the returning students that volunteer on the day of Create that new students want to interact with and learn how to succeed during their time at UBC.
“Also, these students help the new students find their workshops and various sessions.” The student volunteers are very enthusiastic, Goodwin added, as are local Kelowna organizations. This year, local non-profit organizations will be exhibiting during the afternoon of Create. There are over 80 tables, the most ever, at Create 2010. Students will have the opportunity to connect with both on-campus and local resourc-
es and services during the afternoon career-fair-like event. “Some charities and nonprofits use the opportunity to recruit volunteers. Others just want to educate students about many different and wide-ranging issues affecting Kelowna citizens,” Goodwin said. “The afternoon part of Create is the first opportunity students have to see what Kelowna offers, to both them as students and to the community as a whole.” Local businesses and companies have also singed on to
help cover the large costs of organizing such a robust and comprehensive program. “The Create organizing team is very enthusiastic about allowing Kelowna charities a great environment to recruit new volunteers and educate students about all the needs of Kelowna citizens,” Goodwin said. “In addition, Interior Savings, Poweconcepts, Precisely Moving and Valley First Credit Union are helping cover the large costs of putting on a week of events for nearly 2,000 individuals.”

Less than 14 is fine, but more than 14 is not. Those 14 clubs cannot be changed during a round, finishing with the 14 you started with. There are some exceptions in the case of a club breaking. If the club was broken in anger as a result of being slammed into a tree or thrown, it may not be replaced. If the damage occurs ‘in the normal course of play’ (i.e. a club head snaps off or an iron is bent when trying to play from around a tree), there are options for replacement
(Rule 4-3). However, if you begin with fewer than 14, you may add clubs during a round as long as no delay is caused and as long as the club(s) added are not borrowed from another player. The penalty for exceeding the 14-club rule in match play is a loss of hole for each hole played in violation of the rule, up to two holes lost. In stroke play, the penalty is two strokes for each hole played in violation of the rules, with a maximum of four strokes.” (Jon Kadin is the director of golf at Gallagher’s and Greg Murtland is the territory manager for TaylorMade).

Labour Day still has meaning after Golden incident I f you are like the great majority of people, you didn’t spend much time this past weekend thinking about the significance of Labour Day. It is worth saying that this day is an important element of our modern workplace and, if some shocking allegations involving a workplace near Golden, B.C. are any indication, it continues to have meaning and importance. Labour Day in Canada has its roots in a workers’ strike which occurred in Toronto in early 1872. It started with a dispute between the members of the Toronto Typographical Union and the Toronto Globe newspa-
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson per over the employees’ desire for a reduced work week. At that time, there were still active laws prohibiting trade union activity in Canada. Such collective action was considered a criminal conspiracy in restraint of trade. Upon complaint by the newspaper about the workers’ collective action, police arrested 24 members of the TTU for
conspiracy. This prompted other labour leaders to stage demonstrations in protest. One such parade took place on city streets in April of 1872 in front of thousands of Torontonians. Another occurred in Ottawa that September, complete with a marching band and firemen carrying torches. The story is that the Ottawa parade passed the home of Canada’s then Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, and that he was swept along with it to City Hall. Later in the day, he gave a speech in which he promised to eliminate the “barbarous” laws prohibiting union activity. The federal Trade Union Act was soon passed and the age of trade unionism in Can-
ada was officially born. Union celebrations continued annually each spring and, in 1904, Labour Day was made an annual holiday each September. The concept of workers fighting for their rights may seem like an antiquated concept, but we’d be foolish to believe that everyone enjoys the fruits of the last century. However, in some respects labour organizations and employers can now find some unity in decrying organizations which exploit and abuse workers. On Aug. 10, the Globe and Mail reported on a B.C. tree-planting company, Khaira Enterprises Ltd. According to the published report, some 30 immigrant employees of Khaira said they were res-

cued from a remote forestry camp near Golden. The workers alleged that they endured 15-hour work days, death threats and food shortages and were forced by their employer to sleep in unventilated shipping containers.
‘‘
THESE ARE ALLEGATIONS THAT SPEAK OF A WORKSITE TRULY OUT OF ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE.
The Khaira employees alleged they were deprived of food, water and toilets and that they had not been fully paid for the brush-clearing work they performed. According to other published reports, the employees alleged that they were subject to threats and racist comments. They were apparently located at a camp some 40 kilometres into the bush with no practical means of leaving. According to the Globe and Mail, the situation prompted B.C.’s Minister of Labour Murray Coell to state that, “The conditions described
are completely unacceptable for employees.” Another publication reported that the rescued workers were taken to the Trinity Lutheran Church where they were housed and fed by the good people of Golden. It is important to emphasize that a representative of the employer has denied the employees’ allegations and that, to my knowledge, the employees’ allegations have not yet been proven. If the employees’ allegations are accurate, this episode would surely represent a low-water mark in B.C.’s recent employment history. These are allegations that speak of a work site truly out of another time and place. It may well be that, back in the time of Sir John A. Macdonald, or perhaps even today in some places far away from B.C., such conditions were or are commonplace but they have no place here in Canada. No employer with which I have ever dealt would consider such conditions and treatment to be acceptable. To the contrary, they would say that such instances are a stain on the good reputation of B.C.’s employers and that, if
found to have engaged in the alleged abuses, this company and its management deserve whatever punishment they receive. One Khaira employee was quoted as having said: “I didn’t like what happened, but at least it happened in Canada, so these people will get caught. In any other country in the world, we’d be forgotten.” We can draw some small consolation on that basis, perhaps, but prevention of such situations is what our statutory regime is all about. Instances such as this make me wonder whether Labour Day needs, any longer, to be so much about the “us versus them” of the historical labour/management tug-of-war. Regardless, the allegations of workplace abuses near Golden confirm that the need for vigilance has not gone out of fashion.

Sketching out characteristics about Okanagan entrepreneurs
S
everal readers have asked me to write about what constitutes a successful entrepreneur in this column. Now, so that I do not mislead you—the reference presented for success embodies the “actual launch of an entrepreneurial new venture—not necessarily claiming mountains of money as a benchmark. As we all may be willing to concede, that is a notable achievement by itself, but I would choose to offer you a sketch of Mr. Okanagan Entrepreneur—that mystical, magical human that perhaps many of us would gladly emulate given the right set of circumstances. Alright then, Mr. Okanagan Entrepreneur it is. You will recall, I hope, that in earlier articles, I invited you to embrace the notion that an entrepreneur is a person who looks at the world the same as you and I— but, thinks differently. That person who grasps a perceived opportunity when he or she sees it—analyzes it, evaluates it and arrives at that crescendo of faith that offers: “I have it, now, I will do it” OK, If you think you want to be your own boss, run your own innovative enterprise but you are not sure you have the right
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young qualifications, let’s explore the desired recipe together. What are the characteristics of an entrepreneur? How does an entrepreneur think? Is your personal profile similar to that of a successful entrepreneur? The simple truth the literature tells us is that the majority of us are not born leader, but become entrepreneurial leaders by “who we are” and the “actions” we take. (The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society is designed to help you with those desired actions - see www. OVESociety.org ) To support you in your personal journey toward the entrepreneurial success finish line, please be willing to open your mind, your heart and your sense of reasoning as you consider whether these characteristics are part of your driving force. If they are not yet ingrained in you in some fashion, I would recommend that you give them some serious thought. Because of some
space limitations, I will highlight examples of characteristics in point form for a quick read to get you started on your journey. To add, in my research for this column, I reviewed my scholarly texts, the Internet and previous discussion papers I had authored and readily concluded the complementarity of characteristics across the research landscape. Let’s now take a brief look at the distinguishing characteristics of effective leadership including those entrepreneurial in nature. 1. A global perspective—appreciates differences across cultures, learns from and finds a common ground

2. An entrepreneurial spirit—is not afraid to try new ideas and puts a combinations of ideas together to make things happen 3. An enterprise design capability—able to put deals together, structure alliances and relationships and build organizations 4. A teacher—people in any organization need to learn new things by those leading them i.e. a teacher 5. A fundamental value system—integrity, honesty, respect for the dignity of others and responsibility. I will now give you the shorter version of entrepreneurial character-

Gabriele Banka found through the My Account section of the CRA website, or you can call 1-800-959-2221 to receive a copy of the form. You should apply as soon as your child is born or if you have adopted a child that has recently begun to live with you. When applying for the Child Tax Benefit, you automatically apply for the Universal child Care benefit (UCCB). This benefit will pay $100 monthly for each child under the age of six regardless of the level of family income. Some families may decide not to apply for the CCTB because their combined income is too high, but they should apply for the UCCB separately to take advantage of that extra income. The CCTB could also include National Child Benefit Supplement (NCBS) which is a joint
each child under the age of 18. For 2010, it will be $2,101. This credit is available to either spouse if they live together. If the spouses are living apart, one of the children can be used to claim the equivalent to spouse credit as well as the child credit. In this case the entire credit would equal $12,483 for that child for 2010. In addition to the credit, child care expenses are also deductible. These expenses can range from day care fees, boarding schools, day or overnight camps and in some cases extracurricular activities. Unfortunately, these deductions are subject to an overall limit of twothirds of the earned income of the parent making the claim and the claim must be made by the parent with the lower income. There are also dollar limits that apply to each child depending on their age and whether they have a disability. It would be a good idea for parents to list all their children under age
initiative to prevent and reduce child poverty, reduce government overlap and ensure that families will always be better off as a result of working. This benefit is paid to low income families. Another benefit included in the CCTB is the Child Disability Benefit (CDB) which helps to provide assistance to qualified families caring for children who have severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions. In order the qualify for this benefit, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) must have on file a T2201 Disability Tax Credit Certificate for the child. In BC, the BC Bonus is also combined with the CCTB monthly payment. This bonus is available for families whose working income is more than $10,000 and adjusted family net income is less than $21,480. If the family makes more or less than these thresholds, they may still qualify for part of the benefit. From a tax perspective there is the Child Tax Credit which is a non-refundable tax credit for

17 on the return as dependents because the expenses are not linked to a specific child and could result in a larger deduction. For example, if there are four kids and child care expenses are only incurred for one child, list all four children so that the calculation is made over the four kids instead of just the one. Also available is the children’s fitness tax cred-
it at $500 per child under age 16 who participate in an eligible physical activity program. These programs must be at least 8 weeks in duration. Sometimes this activity can also be claimed as a child care expense. In that case it would be a better idea to maximize the childcare expenses before the fitness tax credit.
Unfortunately, you cannot claim the same expense in both areas. If a family subscribes to a family fitness program, the portion that pertains to the child’s participation is eligible for the tax credit.

S
ince the kids are going back to school this week, I thought it would be a good time to talk about some taxable benefits for families. There are some monthly benefits available as well as some benefits for credits on the tax return. The Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) is a tax free monthly payment to help eligible families with the cost of raising children under 18. This benefit is tied to the level of family income and will pay some monthly benefit up to a family income of $107,726. In order to qualify for this benefit, you need to meet certain conditions such as the child must live with you and you must be primarily responsible for the care and upbringing of the child. There are exceptions for cases of joint custody. You must also be a resident of Canada for tax purposes. To apply for this benefit you need to fill out Form RC66 and include proof of the birth of your child. This form can be

SARAH HARMER performs at the Kelowna Community Theatre Tuesday, Sept. 21
Loving lyrics done in Harmer’s way Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Oh where, oh where has Sarah Harmer gone? Her fans have been singing this same sad song for almost five years in hopes the Canadian folk icon would unveil another one of her lyrical retreats. And yet when the elusive songbird gets on the phone, she explains the long absence away so easily it’s as though she dusting a crumb from the counter. “I initially didn’t really plan on being so lackadaisical with my output,”
she says. There was the time spent on house renovations, a smattering of just living life and then her well-known, if somewhat unexpectedly long, foray into environmental activism. Whatever the reason, the old adage about absence making the heart grow fonder certainly proves true when one slips in the new CD, Oh Little Fire, to hear her familiar, soothing voice come sparkling through. Unlike her last reasonably politicized album, I’m a Mountain, Oh Little Fire marks a pleasant

return to a world of relationships and intriguing triumphs and the kind of heartache only a character like Harmer can wrestle into a lyric without losing a modicum of the complex feelings involved. Yet asked about Your Marble Eyes, a beautiful ballad near the end of the album, the 40-yearold songwriter offers a surprising answer, saying the inspiration came from a text message. Some things have definitely changed in the years she’s stepped out of the musical spotlight, but as it is a bit of a sad song for her, she refuses to go into further
detail, redirecting attention to songs stacked earlier in the playlist. This album centres on an unexpected urban sound exemplified in the bouncy, though contemplative tune, Light A Match. Friend and producer Gavin Brown, who helped Metric reinvent their sound, would “pass the instruments back and forth” with Harmer as they assembled the 11 tracks. Unabashedly personal and, at times, beautifully painful with songs like Late Bloomer Harmer which hint at the odd regret, the album should
have Harmer talking up a storm with audiences when she stops at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Sept. 21. This tour marks a re-entry into the touring scene for Harmer and she’s not only playing new music, but hoping to use the time to continue writing more with her band—perhaps drawing on the work ethic she saw David Suzuki exhibit. Suzuki is just one of the activists she met while trying to prevent more quarry development on the Niagara Escarpment in her Ontario homeland. Trying to stop mining

of the unique ecosystem, and destruction of the drinking water supply in the process, took Harmer to Newfoundland’s Gros Morne Nation Park to speak to a conference of environmental educators and to the first Youth Action Montreal Youth Summit on Climate Change where she and Sam Roberts shared the stage and had a brief meeting with U.S. environmental guru Al Gore in 2007. But if you really want to know where Harmer has been, and start to understand the cause which pulled her away from her first love for

such a long time, then it’s worth looking up her visit to The Nature of Things with David Suzuki (also featured in The Nature of Things magazine online). Sharing intimate details, moments and spaces in time is, of course, what Harmer does best and Kelowna will get an opportunity to watch and hear her do so in two weeks time. Sarah Harmer plays the Kelowna Community Theatre Tuesday, Sept. 21, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $45 available through TicketMaster, 250-8641470 or www.ticketmaster.ca.

Oct. 21—the first day of the festival—quickly approaches. An exciting thought kept coming back to me while I was at the PEAK Boot Camp and Live at Squamish: Soon our city is going to play host to a number of these bands and it will be the first time that any event on this scale has been held in Kelowna. It’s an exciting thought for anyone involved or interested in arts and culture around town. The lineup of artists playing this year’s BreakOut West festival and Western Canadian Music Awards show in Kelowna will be announced at a press conference today (Wednesday, Sept. 8) at the Streaming Café, 596 Leon Ave., beginning at 11 a.m. Refreshments will
be provided. Festival organizers will be available after for photos and interviews. Interviews with artists can also be arranged after the press conference. The Western Canadian Music Awards are a celebration of the best independent music from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Yukon. On Sunday, Oct. 24, at the Kelowna Community Theatre, awards will be handed out to Western Canada’s top talent in more than 30 categories. BreakOut West is a three-day music festival leading up to the awards show. Over 60 artists, including many award nominees, will be playing at 12 venues around Kelowna, between Oct. 21 and 24. On the Thursday evening of the festival all of the PEAK Performance top 20 artists will be showcasing around the different venues in downtown Kelowna. This is not only a great opportunity for all of the PEAK Per-
formance artists but it’s also a great chance for the public to catch a glimpse of some of B.C.’s emerging artists who could very well be the next Canadian success story. To view the festival lineup once it has been announced or for more in-

day, Sept. 11 at noon. In this, his second book, Haynes tells us that at age 70 a left hemisphere stroke rearranged his brain. “My right creative side took over and I started to write poetry and humour. I was left with a partially paralyzed right foot, but a writer’s creative right brain. I think I got the better of the deal. The funny episodes in my medical practice became hilarious. The sad, melancholy parts of my life’s memories looked less bleak.” Haynes goes on to share the humorous and sometimes bizarre tales of his life as a doctor—a man shooting off his big toe in a drunken binge and then begging the doctor to get him to Sunday Mass on time; an accident with a Murphy bed leaving a man hanging for more than 10 hours. “I worked long hours, made house calls, went out with the ambulance and flew to remote accident areas, sometimes receiving payment in kind like the time a big game guide brought me a four point buck in payment for delivering his first son, leaving the dressed carcass in the centre of my waiting room.”

Perry dishes a lot of sugary sweets KATY PERRY: TEENAGE DREAM (CAPITOL)
Katy Perry’s second album was bound to become a No.1 smash seller given the pre-released single California Gurls that became one of this summer’s signature songs and videos. The new CD title track has also become a huge hit and I am willing to bet Teenage Dream has, what they call in the music biz, “legs” with at least four hits just like her debut One Of The Boys from a couple of years ago. With all-star production from the proven likes of Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Stargate, Tricky, etc., Perry certainly has her post adolescence dance pop moves down pat, and in fact, this sophomore effort is quite a bit better than her debut. The up-tempo songs are always infectious and perky while the ballads tend to drag. But what really kind of struck me was the cake and candy confections that make up all of the liner backdrops and booklet photos. Note that the CD cover art is actually a painting of Perry and she is lying in a bed of cotton candy and not on a cloud. But that stuff gets really sticky and cloying very
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell fast so, although Perry has a huge hit on her hands, the uber sweetness soon becomes excessive. And, no kidding, the CD paper jacket is scented to smell like cotton candy too. C+
JOHNNY REID: A PLACE CALLED LOVE (EMI)
I have to admit I underestimated Scottish born and now Canadian citizen singer/songwriter Johnny Reid. He has a better than serviceable voice (talk about damning with faint praise) and he also pens a pretty good song. But Reid has yet to make inroads to the lucrative U.S. country scene though he is arguably Canada’s Garth Brooks when it comes to the scope of his domestic career. Reid’s first three albums are all still in the top 40 country charts and his last two albums, Kicking Stones at No. 5 after 177 weeks and Dance
With Me at No. 2 after 77 weeks, is nothing short of phenomenal. Reid has cut his chops recording highly accessible country pop with a dash of Celtic flavor highlighted by his cover of fellow Scot pub rocker Frankie Miller’s classic Darlin’. But this new album is a big change in direction. Reid has turned his tastes to Memphis soul and there is little in the mix in the way of conventional country instrumentation—there is a fiddle on the opener You Gave My Heart A Home, while the closing title track has a hint of bluegrass. The meat of this al-
bum is all southern soul with piano, organ and understated horns for Reid’s honeyed ballads. Reid has scored a nice crossover top 40 mainstream hit with his lovely Today I’m Gonna Try And Change The World and old Reid fans will probably take to this new sound adventure. The Province newspaper gave this an A last week but I can only see my way to— B.
SARA BAREILLES: KALEIDOSCOPE HEART (EPIC)
I’d be happy to be proved wrong, but this second album leads me to believe that Sara Bar-
eilles might become a one hit wonder. She scored a smash three years ago with her upbeat and breezy pop nugget simply titled Love Song, that was an ear worm that worked its way to number one. This follow up studio album, as you can tell from the title Kaleidoscope Heart, is concerned totally with various aspects of love life. Songs such as Say You’re Sorry and Gonna Get Over You pretty much tells you the whole story while other tracks explore uncertainty, trust, hope, intrigue, truth, etc. All of the songs here are at least sturdy and not unlikeable but no song really sticks to you and demands to be repeated like her first hit Love Song. Still, this album is worth a listen and my pick as the best bet for some level of hit-dom is the frothy and cheery King Of Anything which, oddly, is a break-up song. It will be interesting to see how well this disc fares. C+
