W BEAR CREEK FIRE
W KELOWNA
Firefighters contain steep flaming hillside
Mall ready to take your vote
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Firefighters have gained the upper hand on the Bear Creek Fire. The B.C. Wildfire Management Branch announced Wednesday afternoon the fire was totally contained. It said there was no growth to the fire Tuesday night because there was little wind and that allowed firefighters to make good progress. By Wednesday afternoon, they had extinguished 15 metres in from the edges of the fire, which covered 75 hectares at one point. Firefighters were back on the scene snuffing out hot spots in the extinguished area Wednesday, but they warned that if the winds picked up, the fire could re-ignite in places and cause more smoke in the valley. At the height of the fire fighting effort Tuesday, 550 residents in Traders Cove and visitors to Bear Creek Provincial Park were evacuated from
the area. The Sailview Bay area was put on evacuation alert. But by 6 p.m. Tuesday, the evacuation order was lifted, allowing the displaced residents to head home. By Wednesday afternoon, all evacuation alerts had been lifted. Early Wednesday, Westside Road was reopen to one-lane alternating traffic because of the continuing efforts by firefighters in the area. The fire was first reported in a canyon area about 20 kilometres in from Westside Road, above the popular provincial park, late Monday night. Firefighters battling the blaze said the steep terrain proved a challenge in the 40 C fire zone temperatures. In addition to the ground crews, a B.C. Forest Service plane dropped fire retardant and several helicopters with water buckets were used. “The heat and terrain were slowing crews

After years of talking about it, Kelowna has finally convinced the owners of the region’s largest mall, Orchard Park Shopping Centre, to let it locate a municipal election polling station there. For the first time, Kelowna residents who will be at the popular mall on election day on Nov.19 will be able to cast their ballots while shopping. “We want to be where the people are,” said City of Kelowna chief election officer Karen Needham. “Kelowna residents live active lives and we want to provide a variety of voting locations that are both convenient and easy to access during their daily routines.” Orchard Park general manager Norbert Gelowitz said the shopping centre agreed to give it a try after determining there would be both adequate space and parking, and that hosting the polling station would not disrupt the mall’s operation.

Street upgrade now in property owners’ hands Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
NATALIA VIGNOLA/MORNING STAR
LLAMA LEADERS…Rhoenin Jaschinsky, 5, and his sister Bryleigh Rokiski, 3, manage to
persuade Nomad over the jump before moving on to the next task during the Llama Obstacle show Sunday afternoon at the annual Interior Provincial Exhibition and Stampede in Armstrong.
W ACCIDENT
Truck collides with baby pedestrian Sun blindness is being blamed for a Wednesday morning collision that could have been catastrophic for a baby who was being pushed across a busy intersection in its stroller. A white Dodge full size pickup made a left turn on a green light, from Spall Road on to Springfield at just after 11 a.m., just as a woman was crossing with her baby in the stroller, in the east intersection crosswalk.
“The 47-year-old female driver of the pickup did not see the woman or the stroller, as the sun was in her eyes, until the last second,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “She slammed on her brakes and slowed the truck down but it struck the stroller nonetheless.” The truck had slowed significantly, however, so the collision only pushed the stroller over onto is side and the 18 month old boy, who was securely strapped inside, suf-
fered only minor scrapes to the side of his face and to one knee. “The woman pushing the stroller suffered no injuries when she fell down due to the tipping stroller, and there was no damage to either the truck or the stroller,” said Holmes. “Both the woman and child were taken to hospital to be assessed and the child checked for any neck or head injuries.” Speed, alcohol and road conditions have been ruled out as police investigate.
Bernard Avenue’s faded beauty has been conversation fodder for years, but by the start of next month it may actually be on the path to getting a facelift. Owners of the 73 properties on Kelowna’s main drag were petitioned last Friday and they have until Oct. 3 to send the city their view of taking on 25 per cent of the cost associated with a physical upgrade. Their total share amounts to about $1.3 million, and the city will chip in the rest when they bring underground utilities to modern standards, said city planner Pat McCormack. “Provincial legislation requires the municipality to petition property owners when they’re being asked to pay for some, or all, of an infrastructure project,” he said, explaining only those who oppose the added expense will send the city their two cents. If all goes by city design, and the plan gets support of business owners, city council will then approve the third and forth reading of the bylaws that will move the process forward and construction will start as of the spring of 2012. Whether everything will go as planned, however, remains to be seen. Although the street’s appearance has often been maligned for being generally dodgy, physical improvements haven’t been introduced without controversy. During the last council meeting where the issue was discussed, Coun. Graeme James forecast physical upgrade plans would be cast aside due to one sticking point.
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
BERNARD AVENUE is about to get a facelift if the
owners of 73 properties along the street agree to share in a $1.3 million contribution to the project’s overall cost.
‘‘
… I DON’T THINK IT WILL GO THROUGH, AND I’M CONCERNED WE’LL GET NOTHING FOR IT, AND THE STREETSCAPE WILL LOOK AS IS. Graeme James, Kelowny city councillor
With the new design, Bernard’s old-fashioned parking system would be switched to parallel parking—the current 173 spots would be reduced to 132 spots—to make room for wider sidewalks. “Business owners have to make a living 12 months a year and parking is a huge issue,” said James, when the issue arose. “I’ve talked to both sides, and I don’t think it will go through, and I’m concerned we’ll get nothing for it, and the streetscape will look as is. “I hope I’m wrong, I really do, but I don’t think the property owners are in full support of this.” Although James had received enough feedback to cause him to doubt the
plan’s viability, Peggy Athans, with the Downtown Kelowna Association, was steadfast in her belief business owners would be supportive. “We have done our due diligence when it came to the question of parking,” she said, stressing that there’s a great deal of under-utilized parking on side streets. More than anything, however, the plan is far more intricate than just a parking reconfiguration, and most will be pleased with the full picture that came to be after a lengthy public process, she said. Among the design elements are a reduction of traffic from two lanes either way, to one lane in each direction with a turning route. Sidewalks will more than double in width, in some spots, and a bike lane will be implemented. Pedestrians, cyclists and outdoor diners will all be given priority in the plan, which Coun. Robert Hobson described as being similar to that of Vancouver’s Granville Street. “That’s a great consumer social experience and that’s what Bernard Avenue has to do,” he said.

When he returned to the residence, however, he was attacked again, this time with some sort of blunt object that left gashes on his arm when he was struck with it. Police were called and located the victim, who was being treated by paramedics on Rutland Road. Police attended the residence where the attacks took place and searched it for more possible victims.
The residence was empty but police observed a large quantity of marijuana and what looked like a handgun. The residence was secured and police obtained a search warrant and later seized the drugs and handgun, that turned out to be a flare pistol. The victim was taken to hospital for treatment of his injuries. Police say the investigation is continuing.

Vote from A1 The polling station will be located in the open area near the Sport Chek store, just inside the entrance beside Tim Hortons. The shopping centre is one of several new locations being used to house polling stations this year. Other locations include the Kelowna Family Y in Rutland and both the Okanagan College and UBCO campuses. In total, there will be 11 polling stations this year, down from the 20 the city set up in 2008. But Needham said the locations will be set up for this election in places where people will already be, rather than having voters make a special trip to a separate location. After each civic election since the late 1990s, at least one councillor has suggested locating a polling station in Orchard Park Shopping Centre. But each time, city staff have told council the mall’s proprietors have refused the request. The city is desperately trying to increase voter turnout after a paltry 11 per cent voted in the council byeelection in 2009 and less than 20 per cent voted in the 2008 general election. Across the province, civic elections routinely draw around 30 per cent of eligible voters while province and federal elections attract a much higher voter turnout. Needham said as far as she knows—and Gelowitz agreed—Kelowna is the first municipality to use a shopping mall as a polling station location. Needham said she had heard from several other municipal chief returning officers in other communities who said they will be watching how it goes here with the aim of trying to do the same in their communities in future. Voting at Orchard Park will take place on Nov. 19, from 8 a.m. until the mall closes at 6 p.m. All other election day voting locations will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Kelowna Family Y in Rutland Recreation Park will replace the polling station that was located in previous elections at neighbouring Rutland Secondary School. The recently expanded city facility now provides enough space for a polling station. Okanagan College staff, students and nearby residents who are eligible to vote can head to the polls from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the first day of advance voting, Wednesday, Nov. 9. The polling station will be located in the Centre of Learning. At UBCO, a polling station will be set up the following week in the Student Union Building for advance voting on Wednesday, Nov. 16. It’s hours will also be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We want to remind residents that they can pick the place and voting day of their choice, as polling stations located across the city are open to all eligible voters,” said Needham. “We’ve not only added new voting locations this year, we’ve also expanded the number of advance voting opportunities.” For those who are less mobile, the city is also offering curbside voting at all polling stations, where an election worker will go out and assist residents to vote from their vehicle. Special voting opportunities will also be offered at the Kelowna General Hospital and at some special care homes. Voters can also contact the city to request a mail-in ballot. For a complete list of voting locations and times, see kelowna.ca/election. Currently, 39 potential candidates have picked up papers to run for the eight councillors positions and seven people have picked up papers to run for mayor. It’s likely not all the packages will be returned. In 2008, 51 packages were picked up and there were 36 names on the ballot for councillor. All the incumbents, with the exception of Coun. Andre Blanleil, have said they plan to seek re-election. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

This is how MP Ron Cannan, the first chairperson for the event, recalls those humble beginnings. “It was 1997 and I was at City Park with then-mayor Walter Gray and Dean Cooper, who ran the radio station (CKOV). Dean was talking about this career fair he had been to at OKM (secondary school) and how well it worked. “So we were talking, and he was like wouldn’t that be a great idea to do for volunteers.” That was it. Simple. The thought that spawned one of the most successful non-profit volunteerism showcases in the province was to organize a one-stop-shop for community members to see what types of volunteer jobs are out there, similar to a high school career fair. Run by Kelowna Community Resources, the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair is now held in Parkinson Recreation Centre every September. This Saturday, 80 booths staged by different non-profit organizations who need volunteer support to do their work in the community, will be set up in the city’s recreation centre. From the Canadian Red Cross to the Fat Cat Children’s Festival, and even the Okanagan Small Dog Rescue Society, there are now so many different facets of volunteerism to
feature that the event fills the meeting rooms and gymnasium space, often with interested organizations squeezing into extra spaces found in the corridors. It’s quite the feat for an event that started with just a few keen volunteers pulling together anyone from the non-profit sector willing to listen to their ideas. Whether in Memorial Arena, at the Kelowna Curling Club, in Orchard Park Mall or its now permanent home in Parkinson Recreation Centre, the one common theme over the years has been that the event never seems to stop growing. City councillor Michele Rule joined the organizing committee eight years ago after connecting with it through her position as director of the Kelowna Philharmonic Society, and she was soon asked to be the honorary chairperson for the fair. “Everybody knew it was a good idea we just had to keep putting in the effort,” said Rule, who noted her position wasn’t exactly honorary in those first years, though it is now starting to take care of itself. With a dozen people on the organizing committee, the issue is no longer getting the word out about the fair so much as finding space for all the organizations which want a place to pitch prospective

munity, and might even be kicking around at local restaurants for prospective volunteers to peruse yearround. “Originally there was a digest-style guide in a newsprint format, so last year we decided to finetune it to make it more of a year-round resource,” said D’Andrea, who has volunteered on the fair’s organizing committee for five years. The book offers local businesses a space to showcase their own corporate social responsibility roles as well, telling the rest of the community about the volunteerism done by their employees that year, and it helps keep the non-profit sector in the public eye. “I know Chanine Carr (101.5 EZ Rock radio host) and Phil Johnson (AM 1150 radio host) both looked at it and said ‘I’m going to take this in the studio with me,’” said Dawn Wilkinson, Kelowna Community Resources coordinator for the Community Information & Volunteer Centre. As the latest paid employee to assume responsibility for the fair, Wilkinson said she’s come to realize the fair offers the non-profit sector another less obvious benefit as well—a chance to intermingle and share ideas. To check out all of the excitement head to Parkinson Recreation Centre, 1800 Parkinson Way, this Saturday, Sept. 10 for the 14th annual Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., is free of charge and open to the public. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

On alert for gang retaliation action Gangland activity has ramped up since the Aug. 14 slaying of Red Scorpion Jonathan Bacon in front of Delta Grand Hotel, which has police across B.C. on high alert. In a press release issued Wednesday afternoon, Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit- Gang Task Force investigators announced they formed an investigative alliance with Kelowna RCMP Major Crime Section to address potential issues stemming from the incident. To date, intelligence and information indicates that tensions amongst rival gangs have increased exponentially since the Kelowna shooting and it’s no longer a question of if retaliation will occur, but when. The potential for a violent reprisal is not restricted to any one community, and can occur anywhere at anytime. “Our primary objective is, and always has been, the safety of the general public,” said Supt. Tom McCluskie, who heads the Gang Task Force. “The wanton and callous disregard for the safety of innocent bystanders was clearly demonstrated during the Kelowna incident and we as the police, must do everything we can to prevent further acts of violence and retaliation.” The Gang Task Force has assigned 65 officers to the tensions arising from the Kelowna shooting, and those officers are working around the clock following leads and collecting intelligence. “We are not slowing down and these gang members have to know that the streets of BC are not theirs and our officers will make that message very, very clear to them,” said McCluskie. Investigators know that there are individuals who have information that would prevent further violence, and are urging them to come forward. Information can be relayed to the Gang Task Force through their local police agency or anonymously through Crimestoppers, at 1 800 222-8477.

A provocative tax proposal
H
igh home costs are increasingly pricing people out of the real estate market and raising questions about Metro Vancouver’s long-term affordability and sustainability. The market’s rise has been partly driven by an influx of foreign investment, including a steady parade of buyers from China. Meanwhile, the struggle continues to find new funding for TransLink for muchneeded transit expansion without inflicting too much pain on
already heavily taxed residents and motorists. Gas taxes, vehicle levies and tolls are all hugely unpopular. So here’s one provocative proposal that might help put a dent in both problems: Double TransLink’s current residential property tax rates. But at the same time, create a home-owner grant that rebates 50 per cent of the TransLink tax. Like the homeowner grant on municipal property tax, the TransLink version would exclude second vacation homes and disqualify owners who
aren’t Canadian citizens or landed immigrants. There’d be no change in the $230 a year in property tax the average resident homeowner now pays TransLink for a typical $650,000 house in Metro Vancouver. Most working folks would notice no difference. But the transportation authority would suck twice as much cash from foreign buyers, other nonresident owners and speculators.

coon —who jets in once or twice a year—might bring $2,800 to TransLink each year instead of the current $1,400. And why shouldn’t they pay more? They come to enjoy Vancouver’s legendary livability yet make no permanent commitment to the region and use scarce housing inefficiently. And if a selective TransLink tax hike on non-residents or other owners of ritzy homes takes even a bit of the juice out of an overheated real estate market, so much the better.

Kelowna still has a lot going for it as a place to call home
A
two week holiday at the end of August offering me the opportunity to spend a week ‘vacationing’ in my own community, and then getting out of town for a few days. Both opportunities offered some perspective on what we sometimes overlook as things to do in our own community, and illustrate why Kelowna, despite all the problems we complain about on a regular basis, is still a great place to live. My vacation started off by playing host to a visiting family cousin from Edmonton and his girlfriend for a week. For me, it offered a chance to maybe answer a nagging question that I always ask myself: What exact-
ly do tourists do when they come to Kelowna? There are the obvious answers—go to the beach, visit a winery—but if the weather is in the dumper, how to you occupy yourself, especially if you have kids tagging along. While there were no kids involved and the weather was scorching hot, here is how one Alberta couple spent their week. One of the highlights of their trip was starting their day by grabbing a Starbucks coffee and hanging out by Mission Creek. A peaceful, awesome
setting for the first cup of java for the day, they said. No wine tours for them, but they did get a round of golf in, a dinner cruise on OkaBarry nagan Lake, a hike up Gerding Knox Mountain Park, spend an afternoon at Pioneer Park in Lake Country, did some sun tanning at Hot Sands Beach, worked out at a local gym, and dined out on several occasions, with Earl’s restaurant and Carl’s Junior burger joint, to reflect varying culinary desires, both scoring a thumbs up. Like I suspect a lot of visiting Al-
EDITOR’S NOTE
bertans this year, their seven days spent here helped them to do their part to feed our local tourism industry engine. As the tourism folks related earlier this week, our summer tourist season got off to a rocky start in July, largely I think due to the un-Okanagan like weather, and the momentum seemed to shift in the wake of the Centre of Gravity festival and return of the hot weather. As for getting out of town, in this case back to the Lower Mainland, the hustle and bustle of the big city and growing suburbs seems to continually intensify with each year since I left there and moved to the Okanagan back in 2000.
It is impossible to drive around the Lower Mainland without hitting a traffic jam. Impossible. The province has initiated a huge project to build a new Port Mann Bridge. It looks impressive, but I have now spent two hours of my time I will never get back looking at it while stuck in a freeway traffic jam. Will it be any different when the bridge is complete? I have my doubts . In general, everyone in the Lower Mainland is just in too much of a hurry. Makes me wonder if that’s where the Central Okanagan is headed in the not too distant future.

LETTERS
Inspired by very Cyclists insensitive to special triathlete needs of pickup truck To the editor: Occasionally, an event occurs in our lives that has more impact and effects than expected. An avid triathlete, I attempt to give back to my sport through volunteering. As the Apple Triathlon in Kelowna approached I came across a call-out from an organization called Won with One, stating they needed guides to partner in the race with their visually challenged team. I immediately responded and was matched with Myra, a 69-year-old triathlete from Toronto. Myra and I connected via email, had a phone conversation and planned to meet the day before the event to practice. Saturday morning arrived and my husband Scott and I set out to meet Myra and Caramel, her beautiful silky-eared black lab guide dog. Having never ridden a tandem bike I was nervous and about five seconds into our first practise ride we hit the ground—hard. Aside from the physical impact, the crash took the wind out of our sails and changed the atmosphere from excitement to trepidation. Investigation revealed that the bike itself was mechanically compromised. As the team rallied to correct the issue Myra and I took the opportunity to go for a tethered swim practise and attend the athletes meeting. Later we had to limit our practise from riding the bike from home base to transition and have faith that race day would be just fine. Myra said she slept well, but I spent the evening terrified of what the next day would bring. I wasn’t sure if I could manage the race while keeping both Myra and myself safe. I am sure Myra had similar thoughts, but we had a silent agreement to focus on the positive and not give energy to the negative. It was a true partnership; we were going to get this done, together. Race day dawned and before I knew it we were standing in the water hearing the “one minute to start” warning. Myra is a swimming machine, never missed a beat and maintained a steady front crawl for the entire distance. I must confess that I was briefly distracted when I saw the men’s race wave coming up behind us, churning forward
to swallow us in the washing machine of flailing limbs. Thanks to Myra’s focus, my yoga breathing and amazing swim volunteers the ground soon appeared below us. From the back of the bike Myra reminded me of the reason she calls her bike Dragonfly—it is a drag up the hills but flies down. I thought as long as we keep pedaling we will be fine—we did, and we were. We spent most of the run reviewing fancy, funky and fast running shoes while hearing fans and supporters cheering. Caramel and my husband trotted along with us for a portion as well. As we rounded the final turn and felt the timing mat beneath our feet, Myra said: “We are going to grab hands, lift them high over our heads and smile like crazy as we cross the finish line.” And it was all over, just like that. I was completely inspired by Myra, her attitude, her determination, and energy. Myra gives trust first, and thus inspires and receives it. It is like watching karma personified— you receive back what you give out. Myra doesn’t always have the luxury of waiting, of playing it safe, of expecting others to earn her trust. She gives freely and wholly. She just “keeps on pedaling” and holds faith that she will reach the summit. I am so grateful to have had this experience, to be reminded of the power of living within trust and potential rather than behind barriers. I am inspired to think “I can, I will, I am” rather than “I can’t.” I am inspired to give trust and have faith it will land safely. I am inspired to “just keep pedaling.” I am inspired to be more like Myra. I wonder who I can be when I just do without questioning, when I place trust in others freely. I wonder what my community can be if we all trust and work in authentic partnerships. I wonder what the world can be if everyone is afraid, but acts anyway, if everyone is cautious, but trusts anyway. What distances can we cover and what heights can we reach if we just keep pedaling? Karen Bowen, Kelowna
drivers and environment To the editor: I can’t help but comment on Paul Hergott’s column regarding the female bike rider hit while crossing KLO Road. (Too Much Blame Put on Victim in Recent Accident Reporting, Sept. 1 Capital News.) I drive that route many times a week and can tell you that not only Mr. Hergott but many others fail to understand the basic laws of physics or the law regarding yellow lights. Coming down KLO hill in a 5,400 pound pickup truck at the posted speed of 60 km/h, com-
ing around a curve and trying to look to the other side of a bridge with large abutments makes it virtually impossible to stop in a hurry. Meanwhile, the jogger or cyclist have it in their mind that they can slow their 150 pounds down, push a button and time stands still while 12 vehicles come to a screeching halt as they merrily strike out across KLO without any thought whatsoever. This has dissipated 5,000 kilojoules of kinetic energy to stop all these vehicles and about one liter of fuel getting
them all moving again because the pedestrian won’t wait for 40 seconds and cross when there are no cars. A yellow light means stop if possible and safe to do so. I would be much happier if these were all changed to regular pedestrian-controlled lights which stage from green to amber to red. Then the pedestrian will have to wait for the light to cycle and the motorist would have a warning.

W DIVISIVE ISSUE
Angered by civic proclamation To the editor: I can’t tell you how disappointed I was to read this article. (Kelowna Issues Anti-abortion Proclamation, Sept. 2 Capital News) Sharon Shepherd, as mayor of Kelowna, has no business issuing a proclamation on such a divisive subject as abortion. I don’t even have a uterus and I was offended reading this article. Imagine if you were going through the process of making the difficult and personal choice to have an abortion and you had to open the paper and read that:
“At KGH the killing of unborn babies continues” or that abortion is a direct affront to the dignity of human life and violates the very basic principle that it is wrong to kill innocent human beings. Shepherd should stick to the business of the city and promote unity in the community rather than issue proclamations on subjects guaranteed to offend large portions of the community and create divisions. David Klappe, West Kelowna
Moral proselytizing not on mayor’s job description To the editor: How utterly incorrect for our mayor to adopt a partisan position and grant a proclamation for the Right to Life Society. The Right to Life also includes the legal right for a woman to own her body, not a group of people wearing sandwich boards pounding their moral fists in the air. In 1988 the Supreme Court of Canada agreed with that. The Right to Life also includes seeking ways for those with life threatening disease to seek cures, especially ones that are strictly governed under ethical auspices, which stem cell science and research is in Canada under the TCPS. As for euthanasia and/or assisted suicide, no jury determined how I came into this world, and no one is going to tell me how to
depart it, something the courts have come close to overturning as well. But ones views aside on these complex matters, our mayor has no right in preaching one side of the fence, especially when
at least two of the stated issues are currently legal under the law. Her job is to manage Kelowna not proselytize for self-serving moral issues. Mark Pigott, Kelowna

Sunny weather suits farmers
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Valley grape growers and winemakers are keeping their fingers crossed that the near record-breaking warm September
weather continues, after a late spring and cool start to summer. High temperatures of more than 30 C are unusual for September, admits Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lun-
dquist, but he said there is a strong ridge of high pressure originating in the tropics that is bringing in record-breaking high afternoon temperatures. He doesn’t see any change in the coming week to 10 days, with daytime high temperatures in the late 20s and low 30s, but unusually cold overnight temperatures below 10 C. The combination makes both grape growers and orchardists happy as apple growers like the cold night temperatures when harvest time nears to produce attractive, high colour in fruit. Orchardist Domenic Rampone says his McIntosh apples are five to 10 days later than usual, but are now looking good. Grape growers were talking gloom and doom earlier in the season with a late spring and cold start to summer, but since midJuly, things have picked up, reports Andy Gebert of St. Hubertus Estate Winery in Kelowna. It’s their 25th anniver-
sary so he and his brother Leo have a fair bit of experience growing grapes in the Okanagan. Although he admits you can’t predict the weather too far ahead, he says, “In the good grape spots in the valley the weather always comes through.” July’s cooler-thanusual weather was ideal because when it gets too hot the vines shut down, and the dry, hot weather of August, and now September is helping to ripen the grapes and bring up the sugars before harvest. Calona Vineyards/ Peller Estates winemaker Howard Soon agrees that the 30- to 60-day period before harvest is critical to producing good wine grapes, following what’s called ‘veraison,’ when the grapes begin to colour and store sugar. Although he says spring was “ugly” the year before was even worse than this year, but warm weather in fall helped produce some very successful white wines.
As far as the reds are concerned, this year couldn’t be worse than last year, he noted. Thinning the crop is important to early ripening, both emphasize, and in northern climates like the Okanagan, grapes are dropped to production of two to three tonnes per acre so fewer heat units are required for maturity. Harvest this year is predicted to be condensed, with both early and later varieties likely to be ready to harvest suddenly, they say. Table grapes such as the distinctively-flavoured blue Coronation are ripening a couple of weeks late, reports Doug Sperling, who anticipates they will begin picking next Monday. His vineyard sustained substantial damage in that early-August downpour, as gravel and debris swept down Crawford Road into his home, yard and farm. It also brought hail which shredded leaves and damaged fruit. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS W BEAR CREEK FIRE
‘I thought at first it was just people being rowdy’ Fire from A1 down a little but everything is going well,” said Jonas Joe, a crew supervisor with the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch. He said one of the biggest challenges was rolling debris as crews battled the flames in the remote area. Derek Williams, the incident commander at the scene, said firefighters were making good progress Tuesday and at the time the fire was about 30 per cent contained. Within 24 hours, it was announced the fire had been totally contained. It grew to about 75 hectares at its height. Of the evacuated residents, only 165 regis-
tered at the receiving station that was set up in the Lions Community Hall in Westbank. Two of the them were Jean Champoux and his wife Julie, from Whistler. They said they were camping in Bear Creek Provincial Park Monday night when they were awoken by people telling them they had to leave the park. “I thought at first it was just people being rowdy,” said Jean. He and his wife packed up as much as they could and headed out. He said as they left, they could see the glow of the fire and it appeared close by. They stayed at a hotel in Kelowna Monday night
before registering at the Emergency Support Services centre in Westbank Tuesday morning. When the evacuation order was lifted, they were allowed to go back to the park and pick up what they had left behind. Patrick Lacey, who lives in Traders Cove and works as a part-time park ranger in Bear Creek Provincial Park, also arrived at the ESS centre Tuesday morning to register. He found himself trapped in the area evacuated by the fire and had to take a back road out that led him over the hills to Crystal Mountain above Glenrosa and out. In addition to getting his wife and two daughters, aged 13 and two, to
a hotel in Kelowna for the night, he also got his 13-year-old to school Tuesday morning for the first day of school. “It’s been a long night, that’s for sure,” said Lacey. He said because of past experience, the park staff have a very good plan in place for dealing with evacuations and this time it had gone very smoothly. No injuries or property damage was reported as a result of the fire, but Dale Bojahra, of the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch, said at one point flames came within 400 metres of houses in the Traders Cove area. The exact cause of the fire has yet to be de-
termined but fire officials say they believe it was human caused. It started near a series of trails. During the fire, a state of emergency was declared by the Regional District of Central Okanagan. West Kelowna, Ministry of Forests and Wilsons Landing Fire Services all joined effort to fight the fire. On Monday night and for most of Tuesday, Westside Road was closed from Sailview Bay in the south to Bear Main forest service road in the north. Bojahra said on Monday night swirling winds made it difficult to fight the fire because they kept changing direction. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Residents with health issues put on alert
Smoke likely to linger in valley awhile
Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER
It’s time to shop—doctor’s orders. The Environment Canada Air Quality Health Index hit a rating of seven Tuesday and hit a six Wednesday, prompting the Interior Health Authority to recommend people pay attention to their breathing and, if necessary, head to cool places with filtered air like shopping malls. “For everybody, it’s probably worthwhile to reduce outside activities and for those who have pre-existing lung conditions it’s really important,” said Dr. Robert Parker, Interior Health Authority medical health officer. Air quality is rated on an infinite scale known to reach up to 20 in places with extreme air pollution. Although the AQHI level is only at seven, it is still considered high and
is definitely cause for concern, according to Parker. Tuesday morning, Kelowna’s AQHI rating was only at three, despite the Westside wildfire reported the night before. But with an inversion keeping smoke in the valley, it rose rapidly to seven by mid-afternoon. Interior Health’s website (www.interiorhealth. ca) offered a number of suggestions for those who might be struggling with breathing problems— generally those with preexisting conditions like asthma, the very young and the elderly. It suggested seeking out filtered air, reducing activity levels and staying indoors if necessary. Prolonged exposure to particulate matter, the air pollutants produced by the fire, can have an effect on both the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, Parker said. Small particulate matter, that which is 2.5 mi-

The larger particulate matter can get caught in a person’s throat and eyes causing further irritation.
“Both of these (forms of particulate) are out there in a forest fire, though the small ones cause most of the breathing problems,” said Parker. In areas where air quality has been extremely poor for a prolonged period, the number of heart attacks and cardiovascu-
lar deaths increase as the smaller particles can go into the bloodstream causing swelling in the cardiovascular system as well. Shopping malls are said to have some of the better air filtration systems for those seeking a reprieve. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
Knox Mt. Park brush fire causes road closure The risk of a brush fire has closed Knox Mountain Park to all motorized vehicles. The city announced Wednesday morning that Knox Mountain Road has been closed due
to the due to dry conditions and the fire threat posed by motor vehicles. While pedestrians will still be allowed to use the park, the no-smoking bylaw will be strictly enforced, say city offi-
cials. “We want to limit the risk of accidental fire,” said Blair Stewart, urban forestry supervisor for the city. “Conditions are extremely dry right now and we want
to make park users aware of the risks, particularly about smoking and the possibility of fire from vehicles accessing the park.” Pedestrians and cyclists can still access the park.
Smoke coated the Central Okanagan as a wildfire burned in West Kelowna, and even though the blaze has been contained the murky layer may linger for awhile. “We have a pattern over us that's very stagnant— there's very little flow,” said Doug Lundquist, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, adding that there is also a possibility of winds as high as 40 kilometres an hour in individual neighbourhoods which, if it materializes, could cause issues for firefighters. If not, however, conditions will likely remain unseasonably hot and stagnant in the valley. The mercury is expected to hover around 30 C for the remainder of the day, and continue in that vein for the next six to 10 days. Conditions, on the whole, offered mixed blessings to firefighter crews who were out knocking down the fire that started Monday night. While no breeze meant flames weren't being fanned, they were also given a limited view of what they're working with. "The fire is in a deep canyon, and with an inversion, it's socked in the smoke," said Noelle Kekula, fire information officer for the Kamloops Fire Centre. "That made air support more difficult in that it limited their ability to lay the retardant lines or bucket." That challenge aside, crews managed to limit the fire's spread to 39 hectares as of around 1 p.m., Tuesday and by Wednesday morning the evacuation order that sent 550 from their homes was rescinded. Moving forward, patrol crews will be out looking for hot spots and during that stretch weather is expected to once again work in their favour. "We are anticipating good recovery because of high, overnight humidity," said Kekula. The wildfire near Bear Creek Provincial Park quadrupled in size in the time from when it was reported late Monday night to Tuesday afternoon and moved as close as 400 metres to the nearest house. It was 100 per cent contained by 2 p.m. Wednesday. While a cause has yet to be established, Mounties have said the blaze is possibly human caused. Residents with questions about the fire or related evacuation alerts should call 250-469-8490.

“School days, school days, those happy ‘golden rule’ days.” The golden rule for motorists this week was: Don’t speed in school zones as the youngsters returned to school from their summer vacation. By the time the shortened school day was over, however, 96 motorists had not heeded that golden rule and found a speeding ticket in their hands, said Kelowna RCMP Const.

Steve Holmes. Members of the Central Okanagan Traffic Services were busy conducting speed enforcement at eight Kelowna and area schools yesterday morning during the half day return to school. In addition to the speeding tickets, police handed out 11 written warnings, 11 seat belt violation tickets and four tickets for various other Motor Vehicle Act viola-
tions. Officers were regularly seeing speeds over 50 km/h in the posted 30 km/h zones, and some drivers were clocked at over 60 km/h. Sgt. Brad Swecera, non-commissioned officer in charge of the Kelowna RCMP’s Traffic Services, said the first day of the back to school safe driving campaign for police traffic services was to ensure that students are safe

from inattentive drivers. Swecera noted that parents can also become task oriented and become rushed when taking their children to school. Parents, and all motorists for that matter, need to plan ahead so they can take the time to slow down when driving in the school zones, Swecera urged. Now is also the time to pay attention to the many school buses that are operating in the school district, he said. The Motor Vehicle Act states that all motor vehicle traffic, going in either direction, must come to a complete stop when a school bus stops and engages it’s red flashing lights and stop sign. The traffic can only continue once the red lights have stopped flashing and the stop sign has been retracted. Failure to stop can result in a Motor Vehicle Act violation that carries a $167 fine and three points against your driver’s licence. Police gave out more than 100 tickets for this offence last year which accounted for only a fraction of the number of offences witnessed by school bus drivers and the public.

International flavour added to the Taste of Westbank Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The 15th annual Taste of Westbank is mixing a bit of new spice with a seasoned recipe for success. Adona Dunn, of the Westbank Rotary Club, said that many of the popular Taste of Westbank
traditions will be kept in place, while some subtle changes will keep the event fresh and exciting. “Basically, it’s changed a little this year,� said Dunn. “The plates are going to be made up in the kitchen and then served to people. There’s a live auction and a silent auction. And
then there’s the entertainment.� The food prepared will include an international variety, with food from: Crumbs of Comfort Catering, Wok Box, Kekuli Restaurant, La Cucina Ristorante, Thai Fusion, Edo Japan, Paynters Mar-
ket and Dragons Lair. There will also be a bar with wine and beer available for purchase. The entertainment will feature Cameron Welch, a slam poet who has written material specifically catered to the Taste of Westbank celebration.
Vocals Unlimited, a singing group from Kelowna, and Wes Reamsbottom, a guitar soloist, are also on the list of performers. According to Dunn, a Taste of Westbank diamond ring has been created by Stephanie Schmidt
of J.K. Schmidt Jewelers. “It’s going to be raffled off. They’re selling boxes at $25 each and the ring will be in one of those boxes.� Dunn said the Taste of Westbank event, which began in 1995, has seen impressive growth.
“It’s been quite a tradition over the years. It’s built up and built up and now is a very popular event.� Tickets cost $50 and are available at the West Kelowna UPS store, or can be purchased from any Westbank Rotarian.

Westblom set to launch pro career with Dayton Gems in Ohio Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The dream remains very much alive for Kristofer Westblom. The former Kelowna Rockets netminder has landed his first job in the pro game after signing a one-year deal with the Central Hockey League’s Dayton Gems. If all goes as planned, the Ohio-based team will be a stepping stone to what Westblom hopes will become a long and fruitful pro career. “It’s very similar to the East Coast league, a developmental league where lots of guys want to move up and that’s what I’ll be aiming for,” said Westblom. “Team are always looking for call-ups, so I’ll being playing hard every night.” Westblom is coming off a solid three-year stint of CIS hockey with the Acadia University Axemen in Wolfville, N.S., where he refined his game and gained plenty of confidence in the process. The Meadow Lake, Sask. native started 24 of 28 games for Acadia during the 2010-11 regular season, then was nothing short of stellar in the playoffs where he posted back-to-back 1-0 shutouts over UPEI in the opening round. In the second round, he stopped 80 shots in one game, a 3-2 overtime loss to the eventual CIS champions from the University of New Brunswick. “I put up some good years (at Acadia) and I feel I’ve continually improved my game,” said

FORMER ROCKETS goaltender Kris Westblom
will start the 2011-12 season with the Central Hockey League’s Dayton Gems. Westblom. “The pro dream is still there and I want to pursue it as much as possible and see where it takes me.” Earlier this summer, Westblom flew to Voorhees, New Jersey for a tryout with the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers in hopes of landing a pro contract. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound stopper felt he played reasonably well but with six goalies in camp said he likely got caught “in the numbers game.” Then came the offer from Dayton, an opportunity he was quickly sold on after speaking with former Rockets teammate, Tysen Dowzak.

“There’s some familiarity in Dayton with Tysen playing there last season, and I talked to him about the city, the team and the coach,” Westblom said. “That adds to the comfort level of signing a contract, so that’s huge for me.” And while climbing the hockey ladder is Westblom’s long-term goal, he understands of the importance of making the most of his first opportunity at the pro level. “Obviously guys want to try and move up, get to the American League to the NHL, but right now I’m just happy to have a place to play,” he said.
“It’s somewhere where I’m going to be able to log a lot of minutes and play a lot of games. It’s important for me to do that this year.” Westblom wore Rockets colours for four WHL seasons from 2004 to 2008. In 2005, he was a thirdround draft pick of the Minnesota Wild and was once projected as a key piece of the NHL club’s future. But a serious injury to his left knee in February 2007 derailed Westblom’s plans. After long and arduous recovery, he was left unsigned by the Wild, and closed out his WHL career in Kelowna as a 20-year-old. With no pro offers forthcoming, Westblom accepted a full-ride scholarship from Acadia, a decision he hasn’t regretted for a single moment since. “Looking back at everything, things happen for a reason, I have my university degree now so it’s something nice to fall back on,” said Westblom, who has his business degree with a major in accounting. “I had a really great three years there, now I can just go ahead from here and see what happens.” With current Kelowna No. 1 goalie Adam Brown away at Edmonton Oilers’ camp, Westblom will fill in at Rockets’ practise for the next week or so. Then in early October, he’ll head to Dayton for his first pro job with the CHL’s Gems. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

W WHL
Rookie Baillie eyes a spot on Rockets roster Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Many summer vacations spent in the Okanagan with his family, Tyson Baillie already had a pretty good idea of what the city of Kelowna had to offer. But unlike past years, when he would return home to Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., the young centre is a good bet to remain here as a member of the Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets. “I’m excited to play here, I love the city,” said Baillie, who turns 16 in
November. “I want to battle hard and do everything I can to stay here. This is a great organization and it’s where I want to be this year. I’ll do whatever the coaches ask of me.” The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Baillie was the Rockets third-round pick in the 2010 WHL bantam draft. In 33 games last season with Fort Saskatchewan’s midget AAA team, Baillie had 33 points and 66 penalty minutes. Rockets player personnel director Lorne Frey said while Baillie isn’t overly flashy at first glance, he offers a skill set
that any junior team would be happy to employ. “We know he’s got a lot of good assets, good pucks skills, great vision and he’s very smart,” said Frey. “The puck seems to follow him around at times. His only weakness is likely his skating, but he’s getting better at that and improving. He’s still a very young player, but the more you watch him the more you like him. He grows on you. “He’s also been a captain at every level, so he’s a leader, too.” Baillie didn’t waste See Rockets A19

Warriors ready to peg down roster Players acing Sunset
DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
ROOKIE Devon Hascarl (middle) tries to block a shot for the Westside Warriors in BCHL exhibtion action Saturday against Merritt. The Westside Warriors are getting close to locking down the team’s 201112 roster and should have a good idea of just who will make the team after this weekend’s BCHL exhibition games The Warriors play Vernon and Salmon Arm this weekend and will get a good look at two of their top rivals as the BCHL pre-season continues. The Warriors are carrying 27 players heading into the weekend and still has several decisions to make on the way to an
opening day roster with 21 roster spots to go. “We’ve only played the one exhibition game and we had all of our young guys playing,” said Ferster. “I think we’ll have a good indication after this weekend of who will make our team.” Among the newcomers to the Warriors who has impressed at training camp is Penticton native Adam Plant, a defenceman who played at the Okanagan Hockey Academy last season. There is also 11 veter-
ans from last year’s Warriors club that have been impressive. “I certainly like the way the vets have carried themselves,” said Ferster. “They’ve taken charge in practice and they’ve worked hard.” Ferster says this weekend’s games against Salmon Arm and Vernon will feature more veteranbased teams as the rosters get closer to being set. *** The Kelowna Chiefs junior B club is still waiting for word on which

players will return to the club from various junior A and major junior teams. The Chiefs are carrying over 30 players as it continues its exhibition season. Tuesday night the Chiefs took on the Okanagan College Coyotes in a pre-season game. “It was a great game,” said Andrusiak, who watched his team drop a tight 3-1 decision from the stands. “They are older and stronger but it was a good game for us for evaluation purposes.” The Chiefs have three more exhibition games, the first Friday vs Kamloops at Rutland Arena.

3-on-3 hoops turning into big hit The growing popularity of basketball in the Okanagan was front and centre last weekend at City Park during the Step Your Game Up 3-on-3 Tournament. Co-hosted by the Kelowna Minor Basketball Association and Basketball B.C., the two-day outdoor event featured 140 players on 38 teams, ranging in age from 11 to 17 years. Formerly called What’s Up K Town, the local 3-on-3 youth tournament was founded by Jon Zaleski four years ago. But when the former UBC Okanagan Heat captain wasn’t available to run the event this summer, Basketball B.C. and KMBA stepped in. “It was kind of a lastminute thing, summer was approaching and a lot of kids were asking if we were going to have the tournament,” said KMBA executive member Rob Mitchell. “We approached Basketball B.C. and they were up for it, happy to help us out and promote the event. We didn’t want to lose the momentum we had gained over the years, so it was important for us to have this again.” Played outdoors on a half-court, the sport of 3-on-3 basketball continues to grow worldwide.

roots tournament, this is how everyone plays, you have a hoop and a ball. “FIBA is looking to formalize it, and move it up to the next level. Kids can hopefully someday have that Olympic dream of playing 3-on-3.” The two-day event on Saturday and Sunday in Kelowna featured a full slate of 3-on-3 games, skills competitions, and other sideline events including a D.J. announcer. “We has great feedback from the kids,” added Mitchell. “They really enjoyed it. It’s an event we definitely want to maintain and grow in the future.” Vancouver hosted a similar event last weekend and drew 43 teams, only
five more than the Okanagan which has a dramatically smaller population base. There are currently close to 1,000 youth playing basketball in the Central Okanagan, in the spring and fall youth leagues, and in the high schools and middle schools. Pictures and videos of the Step Your Game Up 3-on-3 tournament will be available on Basketball B.C.’s Facebook site. Visit www.basketball. bc.ca.

W WHL EXHIBITION
Rockets vs Blazers Saturday Rockets from A16 time growing on the Rockets coaching staff or their fans as he scored a goal in each of the team’s first two pre-season games— one in last Friday’s 4-3 win over Vancouver, and another Saturday in a 7-2 Kelowna win over Victoria. “It was pretty nice to get those early,” said Baillie. “Getting some confidence is important. At the same time, nothing is guaranteed, so I have to keep it going.” On the 2011-12 edition of the Rockets, Baillie is a key part of what has become somewhat of a youth movement for the
WHL team. Along with defenceman Madison Bowey and Jesse Lees, and forward Austin Ferguson, the Rockets could have as many as four 16-year-olds on the roster this season. “We’ve learned over the years that to have success you have to develop you own players,” said Frey. “You’re going to have bumps along the way, but most teams I think are realizing that bringing your own players through the system is the best way. It just so happens we have four 16-year-olds this year, we think can be a big part of this team for the future.” Baillie is well aware
of the Rockets past record of success as a team, and of many of the individual players who have gone on to prosperous NHL careers. He counts Dallas Stars’ forward Jamie Benn as his favourite ex-Rocket. “I like the way he plays,” Baillie said of Benn, “he’s fun to watch.” Baillie and the Rockets will meet the Kamloops Blazers for a pair of exhibition games this weekend, Friday in Kamloops and Saturday at Prospera Place. The Rockets open the 2011-12 regular season Sept. 24 in Everett. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

REAL PEARLS ARE A GIRL’S (AND BOY’S) BEST FRIEND Jesus said: “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.” (Matthew 13:45-46) It is no accident that Jesus used pearls and the hunt for them, as an illustration for searching for and finding the Kingdom of God. Pearls have long been associated with human wisdom. When a sage, guru or pundit offers a particularly meaningful and beautiful answer to a difficult question, we call that advice a ‘pearl of wisdom’. By this parable, Jesus speaks to those among us who, like the merchant, seek pearls of wisdom. We question whether the divine or gods exist at all. If we are willing believe in the existence of the divine, we wonder why we suffer and die and what happens after we die? Jesus’ merchant had been searching for answers to these questions. He had accumulated many pearls of wisdom, but is sure there is one out there that would replace all of the ones he had. So he kept on looking until he found it. There are basically two kinds of pearls. Some pearls are called cultured pearls and some pearls are considered ‘real’ or natural pearls. The hard white iridescent substance that makes up a pearl starts out as a soft jelly-like substance called nacre which is secreted by an oyster. Nacre is made up of minerals. Every pearl has, at its center, an object that the oyster covers with nacre. As time passes, the oyster adds layer after layer of nacre around the object until a beautiful pearl is formed. What differentiates a cultured pearl from a real or natural pearl is what’s at the heart or center of it. A cultured pearl is formed when a perfectly round synthetic bead is put into a live oyster shell. The oyster covers the bead with a thin layer of nacre which hardens when it comes into contact with the bead. The round bead does not hurt the oyster. A real or natural pearl has something different at its core. It has an irritant in the center of it. The irritant really hurts the oyster. The irritant is stuck in the oyster’s flesh in a way that the oyster cannot get the irritant out, essentially wounding the oyster. This wound could lead to infection and the oyster’s eventual death, so the oyster has to secrete nacre to blunt the sharp edges of the irritant so it can live. Jesus wants you compare what is at the center of each of your pearls of wisdom with what is at the center of His pearl of wisdom. You can only find what is at the center of each pearl of wisdom by examining the story conveyed by each pearl. Jesus will tell you that His is a real or natural pearl, for
at the heart of His pearl is an irritant, and this irritant revealed His humanity and divinity. Jesus declares He was human like all of us. Like all other oysters, Jesus received a great irritant; sin. Unlike the oyster, He did not attempt to escape these sins, He chose to bear them. First the devil tempted Him with each and every temptation a human being could possibly endure. Temptation tore at His flesh but He did not succumb; Jesus did not give into temptation. Sin eventually did tear His flesh, infect Him, and produce His death when He suffered innocently on the cross. His suffering and death produced a priceless pearl, with many layers; His suffering and death paid for the consequences of our sins, so that we may be forgiven for our sins, and the miracle of resurrection (resurrection revealing His divinity). Jesus offers this pearl and the promise of eternal life to those who believe what is at its core: that He is the Son of God who became a man, ministered to us, died for our sins, and was resurrected to new life, all in fulfillment of Scripture. When we find the real pearl, we have to give up all of the cultured pearls we received from religion, philosophy, science, economics, the law, and self-help gurus especially those cultured pearls that claim to have Jesus at the center of them. Jesus will tell you that His pearl has an irritant at the center in it; His claim that He is the only Son of God and that His life, death and resurrection revealed it. We must empty our treasury so that we have room for the real pearl of great price. You cannot hold onto cultured pearls and also have the real pearl of great price. Do you want to find that real pearl of great price? This fall, many churches will be offering opportunities to examine the pearl found in Jesus. I commend you to attend a Bible Study at a church near you. This fall, we will be studying the Old Testament Book of Job. The book is named after the prophet ‘Job’ (pronounced ‘Jobe’). He had it all. He was at the top of his world. His wealth and faith in God were legendary. He was his generation’s Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Warren Buffet and Howard Hughes all rolled into one. He enjoyed perfect health. His doting wife bore him ten children, seven sons and three daughters. They too were successful. Unlike many of the men who had ascended to such wealth, this man did it the right way. He had no skeletons in his closet. He put the “ph” in philanthropy. He founded soup kitchens and rescue missions in his town. He routinely offered hospitality to strangers. He advocated for the rights of the weakest in society: widows, single mothers and orphans. He was a hospice volunteer. He often acted as an arbitrator and settled complicated disputes between
people. He often offered people investment advice. It seemed nothing could stop this man. Then one day, the unspeakable happened. He lost all his wealth, literally overnight. His ten children died in a freak natural disaster. When the carnage finally stopped and he could survey the damage, he realized that all he had left in the world was his beloved wife and his health. With his health and his spouse at his side he could regroup and start again. However, his optimism in the future was soon shattered when he was struck with a terrible disease. It was a rash that no doctor had seen. It was caused by some super “bug” or “bacteria” that no doctor had seen before. The medical science of the day could offer no relief from the pain, let alone offer a cure. Like an oyster in the sea, Job had received irritants in his life: loss, failure and sickness. The irritants caused Job to ask many questions about God, life, death and himself. He wanted answers that would blunt the sharp edges of his irritants. Three of his old friends, and a young man, tried to blunt his irritants. Finally, God spoke to Job and restored him. God also gave Job a pearl of great price. We will read the book of Job together and contemplate the meaning of the verses. With the help of the Spirit, we will see the pearl of great price in the Book of Job and find meaning and purpose in suffering. The study will held on Wednesdays at 1:00 PM and repeated at 7:00 PM, beginning September 21 to December 14. It will resume in mid January. I am confident that God is faithful, and as you study the Scripture, you will receive the pearl of great price. If you feel called to meet the prophet Job, come join us in our quest in search of the meaning of suffering and Jesus. Give our study a test drive. Who knows, you may learn something new about Job, yourself, suffering and God! Take the risk. See you soon.

Norm Letnick a municipal street between Glenmore Road and Highway 97 at Old Vernon Road. The road now appears on the city’s 20-year Major Road Network Plan. The Glenmore Road connection to Highway 97 will be a municipal street benefitting commuters and UBCO students who cycle or drive. Both provincial and federal grants are available to support the city with this important project through infrastructure grant programs. Improvement of intersection at Highway 97 and Sexsmith Road The intersection of Sexsmith/Rutland Road and Highway 97 experiences congestion during peak periods. The province will consider improvements to this intersection in future based on available funding and assessment of competing transportation capital priorities in the Okanagan Valley. Strategic transportation plan Workshops recently took place up and down the valley and included transportation (transit, light rail, cycling) and land use planning experts. Suggestions from the workshops will be used in creating and executing a cohesive transportation plan that spans the whole Okanagan. Follow our progress by visiting my web site at www.normletnickmla.bc.ca. Additional investment in sidewalks and cycle paths. The province has worked in close partnership with the City of Kelowna to deliver pedestrian improvement projects such as improved sidewalks and enhanced
transit stops on Harvey Avenue and the Dayton Street overpass. Cyclists commuting to UBCO will have a safer route, via a new multi-use pathway and bridge, jointly funded by the province, the City of Kelowna and UBCO. The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has adjusted the cycling route along this segment of Highway 97, updated cycling awareness signs and installed a speed reader board on the highway near the overhead. Until construction is complete, cyclists will continue to use the Ellison overhead to reach the campus. A new cyclistactivated warning sign will be installed on the northbound shoulder at the bridge. Highway revitalization between Rutland and Hollywood Roads Mission-Kelowna MLA Steve Thomson and I approached our cabinet colleague Shirley Bond in 2010 requesting improvements to Highway 33 in the Rutland town centre area to address community concerns over pedestrian safety, transit stop locations and streetscape aesthetics. Provincial staff are currently working with staff from the city to develop costing and scope of work for realigning crosswalks, raised median enhancements and other transit, pedestrian, and streetscape aesthetics along Highway 33 in Rutland. We are working together to develop a cost sharing arrangement for these works and coordinate delivery of the improvements with those carried out as part of the RapidBus project. As you can see, we are making steady progress on your transportation capital priorities. Some projects are easier to accomplish in the short term than others. However, with continued hard work and follow through, we will get where we want to go. We are on the right path. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country.

Lakeview Community Hall to close in October for renovations Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
District of West Kelowna council decided that renovations on Lakeview Heights Community Hall will begin this October. The project, which will cost $260,314, will include demolition and reconstruction of the second floor walls and roof of the main hall, the removal of hazardous materials and an upgraded access to the facility for people with disabilities. The upgrades will take approximately five months to complete. The building, which houses various community groups, will be closed as of Oct. 3. According to Kirsten Jones, communications supervisor for the district, although the scheduled closure is Oct. 3, there may be a slight flexibility on the closure date after determining the best solution for user groups. Jones said that recreation department staff have been in contact with user groups and they will work with groups and individual users to find alternative locations for their needs when construction begins. Council was advised that the hall needed upgrades after a structural analysis determined that, although the main structure of the building was in good shape, the original roof structure and exterior wall system on the second floor—located over the main hall—required structural repairs. “Some members of our community may question why we’re spending ($260,314) to renovate. I asked for some information, three weeks ago, with regards to the usage of that hall. The information that came back indicated that the hall is being very well-used,” said Coun. Gord Milsom.
“It’s booked every night of the week and it’s also booked four to six times per month on the weekends for full days. Hopefully we’ll be able to do the renovations on a timely basis.” Coun. David Knowles wasn’t originally in favour of the plan to simply renovate the building; rather, he was interested in creating a new hall. Since rethinking the scenario, he decided that it would be irresponsible to consider a new building at this point. “Our citizen surveys are not showing that we need more of this service,” said Knowles. Mayor Doug Findlater said that the hall had a fundamental safety issue,
and something needed to be done. “So it’s which way do you go? Do you fix it modestly and get it open for people to use or do you go the longer term route and replace the building?” said Findlater. “We haven’t finished all of the capital plans, we’re starting to get a picture of the master plans with capital components. We haven’t been through the exercise of starting to determine priorities. I can’t see just moving this up to the top of the list.” Coun. Duane Ophus wanted to see a new facility built instead of spending a quarter of a million to renovate the current Lakeview Heights Community Hall.
“I want to point out that I think this is a pretty clear example of why it’s so important for the district to keep on top of our infrastructure, because this is exactly the kind of situation that you don’t want to end up in,” said Ophus. “I don’t think we should be putting a quarter of a million dollars into a 50 to 100-year-old building. I realize that we’re in a bit of a hole here, but I really don’t see this is as the right way to proceed.” The building will be closed on Oct. 3 as a precautionary measure because the structural analysis suggested that any snowfall on the building’s roof could increase danger.

Labour Day drivers keep cops busy The Labour Day weekend was busy for motorists, and busy for police who were out and about ensuring road safety. Central Okanagan RCMP Traffic Services were set up in several spots in and around the Kelowna area, from Sept. 2 to 4. The results were both impressive and disconcerting. A total of 292 tickets or warnings were handed out to motorists, 197 of them for speeding alone. Twenty-three warnings were issued included demands for vehicular defect corrections and vehicle safety inspections. Twelve motorists were given tickets for not wearing seat belts. The rest of the violation tickets were for infractions such as no insurance, no driver’s licence, disobeying a stop sign, failing to yield, cell phone distraction, driving contrary to driver’s licence restrictions. One motorist was ticketed for excessive speed-
Scarecrow Festival seeks volunteers Do you want to enjoy a great afternoon of family fun and help out the community of Rutland at the same time? One way to do that is to volunteer with the staging of the fourth annual Scarecrow Festival, hosted by the Uptown Rutland Business Association. URBA is seeking dedicated individuals to volunteer their time for this event, which takes place Oct. 2 at Lions Park in Rutland. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities available including the working the Kid’s Zone, the scarecrow building contest, the entertainment stage, the harvest and multicultural markets or for general site management.

ing (more than 40 km over the posted limit) and his vehicle was impounded for seven days, as was a motorist who was caught driving while prohibited. Four motorists were given 30-day immediate roadside prohibitions for alcohol impairment and three were given 90-day prohibitions for the same offence.
Two motorists were found with marijuana inside their vehicles (23 and 30 grams respectively), and five others were found with open liquor. Kelowna RCMP Const. Steve Holmes said the disconcerting part of this weekend’s enforcement is that most of the detected offences either contribute directly to, or
exacerbate the consequences arising from vehicle collisions. The targeted and strategic enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Act will continue, said Holmes, noting the desired result continues to be a reduction in the number of collisions on roadways, and the injuries and deaths arising from them.

Mayor critical of evacuation centre process Local
resort ready for fire threat
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The Bear Creek fire forced more than 600 people from their homes and campgrounds early Tuesday morning. Although safety was the first thing on the minds of most, inconvenience likely crawled up the list of concerns as many were forced to head north to Vernon, then make their way back to West Kelowna via Highway 97 to register at the evacuation centre. “It must be frustrating for people to go all the way around,” said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. Findlater said that he felt something should be done to make the evacuation process simpler. “When the Terrace Mountain fire broke out in 2009, they had evacuated everybody from Traders Cove up to Westshore Estates: Quite a vast area,” said Findlater. “In 2010 we had a fire at Sailview Bay, not very far from where this fire was, and it was right on the road. People again, from Bear Creek, Traders Cove and all that area, had to go north.” Typically evacuees are asked to come to an emergency social services reception centre at Lions Hall in West Kelowna. In the case of the 2009 Glenrosa and Rose Valley fires, evacuees made their way to Royal LePage Place.
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
BARRY GERDING/CAPITAL NEWS
WEST KELOWNA Fire Chief Wayne Schnitzler talks to the media at the Kelowna main firehall on Enterprise Way about the progress in
fighting a forest fire that started Monday night and caused the need to evacuate 550 residents from Traders Cove and Bear Main Forest Service Road and about 100 visitors camping at Bear Creek Provincial Park. “So you have people going all the way around north to Vernon and then coming back down. That’s a good hour and a half or two hours if there’s not a problem on the road,” said the mayor. “You’ve got to get through both Vernon and Kelowna and those are challenges, particularly during rush hour.” Findlater suggested
Doug Findlater
setting up a reception centre in Vernon. “One thought would be to get some kind of an agreement with the North Okanagan and the City of Vernon to perhaps have some kind of a reception centre up there for people who are evacuated. “That might cost us some money, but it might be reciprocal. Perhaps we should have some kind of
an arrangement inter-regionally because our regional program works so very well within the Central Okanagan.” According to Findlater, the process will start by discussing the idea at a Central Okanagan Regional District meeting and seeing if there’s “any appetite” for it. But the price tag of orchestrating such a proce-
dure may be a factor, he cautioned. “One of the big things about fires is cost. The cost can get away on you very quickly,” he said. “This municipality has been very careful about how we manage all of these things. There would need to be a financial analysis.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com
W BYLAW ENFORCEMENT
District reinforces safety rules as kids return to school Bylaw enforcement officers are out in full force this week attempting to remind motorists and pedestrians of the need for heightened awareness now that children are back in school.
Officers have been attending schools during peak activity and will continue to monitor the areas for the rest of the week. They are on hand to provide assistance to West Kelowna
RCMP and the school district’s traffic safety officer as students, parents and nearby residents adjust once again to school schedules. This effort compliments school zone traffic safety blitzes
by West Kelowna RCMP, which started on Sept. 6. The district is inundated with calls from residents concerned about speeding and dangerous driving in school zones
every September, so council has asked West Kelowna RCMP to pay special attention in and around school zones, where children will be walking and cycling each weekday.

The Bear Creek fire caused only minor disruptions for vacationers at Lake Okanagan Resort, according to general manager Edan Fay. The fire closed Westside Road for most of Tuesday. Fay said that staff simply directed guests leaving the resort to go the long way. “We directed our guests to go through Vernon if they need to leave,” said Fay. According to Fay, the same information was given to guests who were planning on driving to the resort on Tuesday. The general manager said that the flames didn’t cause too many glitches in the resort’s operations. “It was smoky, but other than that there weren’t any real negative impacts.” In 2009, the Terrace Mountain fire forced Lake Okanagan Resort to evacuate all its staff and guests. Lessons learned in the past has left Fay feeling confident that the resort is well prepared for any type of fire situation. “We’re very well prepared; we have a really solid evacuation plan,” said Fay. “We have meeting spaces on the resort for guests and all of our department heads have their places they need to be when we put that plan into effect.”

Schools get new playgrounds Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Students at Constable Neil Bruce Middle School and Glenrosa Middle School will be getting some new recess terrain to explore. On Friday, Premier Christy Clark announced $8 million would go towards 44 new playgrounds and playground upgrades for schools across B.C. The West Kelowna middle schools will each receive $50,000 for a new playground. “These new playgrounds will be a great way to enhance the school experience for all students in Kelowna,” said Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. Currently there are 1,347 public elementary and middle schools in B.C. Forty-four of those have been identified as having no playground equipment at all; therefore, those schools will be given first priority for the funding.
W CIVIL LITIGATION
Valid insurance claims often are initially rejected
O
n the one hand, it is such complicated stuff that even judges can get it wrong. On the other hand, it is about as simple a concept as could be imagined. Let’s say that you already have a bad back before being the innocent victim of a crash. Earlier in your life you had suffered a back injury that resulted in pain so bad you couldn’t work. That disabling pain has since settled down, but it didn’t go away completely. It was manageable with over-the-counter medication. You were able to return to work, and to do so full-time for the better part of a decade leading up to the crash. That previous back injury had taken a toll on your spine. An x-ray taken before the crash shows all sorts of wear and tear that the medical community calls “degeneration.” The rear-ender crash that the insurance company calls “low velocity” was enough to trigger a return of the serious pain and disables you from work. This time, the pain does not settle down. This time, you are left with permanent, disabling pain. So you make a claim for fair compensation for your injuries. The insurance company representing the rear-ending driver sends you to a specialist. The specialist says that while there was injury caused by the crash, that injury should have resolved quickly. Your ongoing, disabling pain is a direct result of the degeneration. Does that mean that the insurance company can deny your claim? Well, of course the insurance company can, and will, deny your claim. I expect that many who are reading this column can vouch personally for how the insurance company handles this type of situation. The thing is that an insurance company’s denial of your claim doesn’t mean that your claim is invalid. Insurance companies deny valid claims all the time. It makes good business sense to deny claims. Many, if not most, injured victims with valid claims won’t know any better and will go away. If it wasn’t for the crash, your back

symptoms would have remained manageable. But for the crash triggering a return of your disabling back pain, you would have continued on just fine with only over the Paul counter medication. On the other hand, if Hergott you had not suffered that previous back injury and had not been left with all that degeneration in your spine, the injury from the crash would have resolved completely. The law is crystal clear on this point. A negligent driver (and by extension the driver’s insurance company) must compensate an innocent victim for all losses that would have been avoided had the crash been avoided. It is no defence to say that you were more susceptible to suffering those losses than another, healthier victim, who did not already have a bad back. That’s fair, right? It’s not your fault you were in the crash. What if, though, that bad back was bound to get worse at some point? Perhaps it would have held out for another 10 years, and then the disabling pain was bound to return. As you might expect, you are entitled to compensation for those 10 years when you would have continued to enjoy manageable back pain. You are not entitled to compensation for the disabling pain that would have come on, regardless of the crash, 10 years in the future. A very recent discussion of these legal principles is contained within the August 2, 2011, decision of our Court of Appeal in Farrant v. Laktin. If you have difficulty finding that case on the British Columbia Supreme Court web site, email me and I will send you a link. And, if you are one of the many who have been screwed by an unfair insurance company denial of your claim, please spread the word to avoid others having to suffer the same fate.

Filmmaker: NHL enforcers face stress to perform Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Adam Scorgie had plans for the latter stages of May: He was scheduled to hit up Manhattan Beach, Cal., with his good friend, Derek Boogaard. Those plans got canceled on May 13 when Boogaard was found dead in his Minneapolis apartment. The demise of the NHL enforcer saddened the hockey world. As the summer progressed, the clouds darkened even more for the puck community. On Aug. 15, Rick Rypien died in Crowsnest Pass, Alta. Weeks later, Wade Belak’s death concluded a tragic summer for NHL tough guys. On each account, the shocking news triggered more questions than answers. Speculation had some completely questioning the role of the enforcers. Others shrugged it off as a coincidence. Regardless, everyone was, and still is, confused. “Boogaard’s death really affected me a lot,” said Scorgie. “Everyone’s jumping to the head shots and fighting right away. I don’t think it’s the fighting: It’s the stress of performing that weighs on these guys more.” Scorgie is a Kelowna film director of The Union, a successful documentary that analyzed the marijuana industry in B.C. Ice Guardians, his newest film, looks at the role of NHL tough guys. “The angle with Ice Guardians has always been just to tell these guys’ stories. It’s never been to promote fighting or to go against it either. Coming from the players’ mouths, none of them think that it’s ever

He is one of three players whose role it was to fight on ice who have died this year. been covered correctly on film.” Boogaard was slated to be one of the enforcers featured on Ice Guardians. Through conversations with Boogaard, Scorgie quickly learned that the mental aspect of being tough took more out of Derek than the physical altercations. “The thing that bothered him more than his concussion was when the Rangers told him to take the rest of the year off with pay.” Boogaard had recovered from a concussion and was hoping to get back in the lineup just before he was told he would be sitting out for the rest of the year. According to Scorgie, he didn’t want the vacation—he wanted to prove that he was worth the $1.6 million he was earning each year. “Fans are brutal in New York. There were comments like: ‘Why are we paying this guy? He’s
‘‘
THAT’S WHAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH ENFORCERS. THESE GUYS ARE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE THEIR DREAM COME TRUE… THEY’RE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR BODY AND DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCE LATER. Adam Scorgie
a bum.’ That was bugging (Boogaard) more than anything. “I talked to Boogy almost every week,” Scorgie said. “The main thing that I got from all of his messages was that he was really pissed that he wasn’t getting to play. He was lonely in New York.”
Georges Laraque, a former physical threat in the NHL, recently wrote an article in the Globe and Mail about his experience as a fighter. He said that the life of an enforcer is not what it seems. He mentioned that it was tough to enjoy time with his family because he would constantly fret about a potential fight he might be in the following evening. If Laraque—a fighter who rarely lost on-ice battles—was constantly worried about his role, theories could be made how less-skilled fighters may feel. One suggestion Laraque makes is to form a committee of former players who have fought in the NHL for a living. He said he feels that this would allow today’s enforcers, who may be struggling with anxiety, to have someone to talk to who understands what they’re going through. Scorgie agrees with
Music… the Gift that lasts a lifetime
Laraque’s suggestion. He said that his own experience as a combatant in sports taught him that the enforcer role creates a game within a game. “You can’t just play the game normally because you’re thinking: ‘If shit hits the fan, I have to deal with another really tough guy.’” Scorgie said that many fighters in the NHL never dreamt that they would be in that role; rather, most wanted to be like the skilled Joe Sakic or Wayne Gretzky. “There comes that definitive time in their career where people are saying, ‘You’re playing with the best but you’re not even a third or fourth liner. But you’re passionate.’ They see that these guys are willing to do whatever it takes. “That’s what made me fall in love with enforcers. These guys are willing to do whatever it takes to make their dream come true. They want to make it so bad that they’re willing to sacrifice their body and deal with the consequence later. “That’s the story that I’ve always wanted to show.” Scorgie hopes to get the chance to tell that story as soon as possible. If there was ever a time it needed to be heard, it’s right now. “Two weeks ago we had an unbelievable meeting with (NHL programming) vice-president Charles Coplin. He loved the (movie) demo; he wanted to move forward. We were looking at putting the budget together and going with production in the fall. “I think now, more than ever, these guys’ story needs to be told. And told correctly.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

W COVERING CULTURE
Fond farewell Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
S
eptember is a time for new beginnings and I am going to be starting one myself. Perk up readers, because this is the last time you’ll get to (or have to) listen to me, as this is my last column for the Capital News. I made my writing debut on Jan. 20 with a column promising to provide Kelowna with a non-biased, reliable resource for all that is arts and culture in our community. Wading through the numerous columns that have been published since, I think that I have succeeded in doing so and I hope that you, as readers, have found that there is actually more to Kelowna than wineries, the lake and the clubs. Sometimes we might find that it is a struggle to see arts and culture thrive in Kelowna but as I look over past columns I realize that if the scene in Kelowna wasn’t thriving then I wouldn’t have had anything to write about. We tend to think about what the city needs to really flourish: “We need more venues…” “We need more artists…” “We need more funding…” but sometimes this makes us look past what we have which, in reality, is really, really great when you think about it. We are definitely sitting at a turning point in the cultural community right now. City of Kelowna Cultural Services has been hard (and when I say hard I mean, REALLY hard) at work creating a Cultural Plan for Kelowna which will soon be unveiled. Through numerous focus groups, panel discussions and arduous research, Cultural Services is ready to give us a blueprint of sorts that we can use to build up one of the best cultural communities in Canada. First, we need to realize what we have before we can find out what we really need and Cultural Services has already done a good part of the ground work for us. Cultural Plan aside, I have seen many great things come out of this community—whether it be a show at the Community Theatre, at Habitat or Rutland Centennial Hall, BreakOut West, Ecotone or an art show put on by students. This city has culture coming out of its ears and, as I mentioned in my very first column, you just have to know where to look. Arts and culture is happening all around but the main ingredient is us—the viewers. So next time you’re making eyes at your couch, getting ready for another big night at home, go out and experience something new instead—you’ll be surprised at what you find. I hope that you all have enjoyed my ramblings as much as I have enjoyed rambling on and I’ll leave you now with a final quote: “As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit.” —Seneca Pyper Geddes has been a contributor to Awesome Okanagan. www.awesomeokanagan.com

he Beast of Bottomless Lake is a great example of what filmmakers can do with very little money, but with passion and the Internet. It was a concept originally developed by Keith Provost about taking the Moby Dick story and turning it into a comic romp about a cryptozoologist and a team of scientists searching for Ogopogo. Having grown up in the Okanagan, Provost had a passion for the lake monster and worked with friend Kennedy Goodkey on writing the screenplay. When Provost was killed in a tragic bicycle accident in 2001, his friends decided they were going to continue making the film in his honour. Filming took place in 2007 in the Okanagan and Vancouver and was made on a shoestring budget, some of which was made by auctioning on eBay producing credits, product placements and a day on the set as an extra. Most of the people
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis working on the film were not paid but instead would get a percentage of the profits. The movie won the People’s Choice Award at last year’s Okanagan International Film Festival and Best Feature Film at the Mississauga Independent Film Festival and has been picked up by Superchannel. However, those who missed its two film festival screenings last year and want to see it on the big screen get their chance this week at the Paramount Theatre in Kelowna and the Capitol Theatre in West Kelowna. Rated PG with a sexually suggestive scene, coarse language and drug use. ••• And now for a movie
that is going to make you very aware of how close you are sitting to others in the theatre. Contagion is the latest for talented director Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s 11, Erin Brockovich) and features an all star cast including Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet. A lethal airborne virus that kills within days is unleashed and as the fastmoving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure. Panic spreads faster than the virus and ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart. Intense performances in an intense movie will likely make it the top pick for moviegoers, its subject matter will likely make anyone sniffling and sneezing in the theatre even more of a distraction than usual. Rated PG with violence and coarse language.

he cast is the cream of the crop: Sam Worthington, Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson, Ciaran Hinds (Road to Perdition), Jessica Chastain as 1960s Mossad agents, and for
the most part the acting was excellent. Mirren fans are going to find this a departure from here usual less-violent casting, but the steely resolve we see in this movie harkens back to her days on Silent Witness. Brilliant acting by Jes-

Swardson gets his chance in the spotlight as he stars in Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star, which he co-wrote with Sandler. He stars as a small-town nerd who discovers he is the son of famous 1970s porn stars and moves to Hollywood with hopes of following in their footsteps.

per Christensen, who plays the evil Dr. Vogel, is incredibly believable in this film based on the book Ha-Hov, meaning the debt in Hebrew. The Mossad began at the birth of the State of Israel in 1949 as Central Institute for Coordination (CIC) which, in 1951, was replaced by Mossad under the supervision of Israel’s prime minister. Mossad’s first high profile operation was the kidnapping of Adolf Eichman from Argentina. They then hunted down the terrorists of the 1972 Munich Olympics. Mossad ran amok of Canada when six Mossad agents mistakenly killed a Moroccan waiter—and used Canadian passports. The Debt was billed as a thriller, which by definition is a movie that keeps the audience at the edge of their seats. As much as I loved the cast, this one didn’t provide the thrills—it was hard, edgy, bloody and brutally honest but I didn’t hit the edge of my seat once. The twist at the end makes you think, but the back and forth from the present to the 1960s takes some of the suspense away.

ENTERTAINMENT
Greatest hits from Marshall Tucker Band K.D. LANG & THE SISS
SOUNDING OFF
BOOM BANG: SING IT LOUD (NONESUCH/WEA)
I am a bit late getting to this fine new album because the mighty Warner label only just mailed it out to me. I guess things are slow at the plant so they are reworking some early summer releases, but you can’t complain when any k.d. lang CD comes your way. This album sold very well on release but garnered no hit and, I think at this stage of lang’s career, she probably isn’t bothered so much by that. Also, the CD liner graphics and title Sing It Loud with The Siss Boom Bang album is a total inside joke. There is no loud singing here and there is no razzle dazzle. Instead lang amalgamates many of her past styles from country to soul to torch to pop and retro into a solid set of lovely and delightful soft rock originals. Check out the meandering, jazzy overtones of the title song Sing It Loud, the spare John Wesley Hardinglike country soul of Habit Of Mind, the somnambulant Talking Heads cover Heaven, and the Roy Orbison-styled I Confess. There isn’t a dud on this warm and comfy album as k.d. lang finds Steen from B4 talk. Not only is it annoying but it’s emotionally painful—just a thought. There is a lot to like about The Debt if you’re a spy movie type of person, and if you dig a little deeper you might see a little of each of us in each of the characters as they try to live in today’s world,
Bruce Mitchell her own bliss and flows it through this disc of all ballads. Although there was no hit, old fans will love this new-ish release. B+
LANG LANG: LISZT MY PIANO HERO (SONY)
I mentioned before in a look at the classical music charts that just about every top seller is a pop-crossover album from the likes of Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban and Jackie Evancho. But celebrated pianist Lang Lang (no relation to above-mentioned k.d. lang) has a new trick up his sleeve. He has released a wonderful album full of tunes so well known that they could be considered crossovers in that every nose breathing person in the classical music universe knows the tunes. As a result Lang Lang’s bona fide, non pop-classical music has hit the charts at the No.4 spot reversing a worrisome trend for classical haunted by the past. I really wanted to like this one, and there is something worthwhile about the show, but it’s not going to entertain you. It will leave you with no hero and a bunch of semi-villains who thought they were doing the right thing for their country at the time. And we all know that as time goes by, we
purists. Lang Lang offers lovely and rapturous versions of his hero Franz Liszt’s well known evergreens such as Liebestraum, a trio of Hungarian Rhapsodies, Consolation No.3, while he sneaks in a take of Schubert’s Ave Maria to keep the melody recognition elevated. The second half of this excellent album is the Piano Concerto No.1 wondrously fleshed out with Valery Gergiev and the Vienna Philharmonic. Finally, I was glad to read in his liner notes that Lang Lang came to love classical music in much the same way I discovered it as a kid—through Bugs Bunny cartoons. A
THE MARSHALL TUCKER BAND: GREATEST HITS 2011 (SHOUT) DOUG GRAY: SOUL OF THE SOUTH (SHOUT)
There are more than a few Greatest Hits albums on the market by The Marshall Tucker Band but this new 2011 edition is superior by far than all the other single disc releases. This Greatest Hits set originally came out as an eight-song album in yesteryear’s vinyl days but it has been upgraded to may just have to rethink what seemed right at the time. Best line: “The truth can be anything we want it to be.”

a 14-track compilation taken from the band’s earlier heydays with Capricorn Records (that went bankrupt while the band moved on to the Warner label). Believe it or not The Marshall Tucker Band never really quit the scene and still release the occasional album in this new millennium. But these 14 tunes from The Marshall Tucker Band’s best days with the Caldwell brothers and singer Doug Gray at the helm immortalized them. Also, both Caldwell brothers passed early from car crashes and natural disease which kind of put the band on the back burner but this new Greatest Hits collection is a superb starter set for the uninitiated to their brand of ’70s southern fried rock. The MTB were less bluesy than The Allman Bros. and less boozy and redneck confrontational than Lynyrd Skynyrd as MTB dabbles in country rock with jazz and soul overtones with flute, banjo, fiddle and sax. MTB’s signature hits are here with the especially beautiful Heard It In A Love Song and Can’t You See, along with other gems such as Fire On The Mountain, Long Hard Ride and Searchin’ For A rainbow.
Some of these nuggets are also presented in their original radio single versions making this a fine starter set for the uninitiated. As mentioned, MTB dabbled in soul music as well and that caused the much lauded lead singer, Doug Gray, to record a solo pop/soul album way back in 1981. At the time he didn’t like the deal he was offered to release his solo album and he was so busy with The MTB that the music never got released until just a short while ago—30 years later. It is a bit of a shame and will leave old MTB fans wondering what might have happened if Gray had released this solid soul album back in the day because he is every bit the equal to contemporaries Michael McDonald and Michael Bolton. This is only an eightsong mini album but the covers are fabulous, featuring the entire MTB and crack Nashville session men and fine covers such as Bobby Whitlock’s Guilty and a killer cover of the late ’60s Spiral Starecase evergreen More Today Than Yesterday that is worth the price of admission alone.

LIGHT, JACQUELINE “JACQUI”
Fred made his transition to heaven from the beautiful Hospice House. He went peacefully and quietly; surrounded by loving and caring friends. Prayers and poems were read while listening to his favorite gospel hymns. Fred was a home body but made many friends while conducting his daily routines. He loved reading, music, chocolate, baseball and The Young and Restless. His love of Teddy Bears has resulted in many receiving the gift of one from his vast collection. A gathering for Fred will be held Thursday, September 8th; at First United Church, 721 Bernard Ave. The gathering will take place at 2 pm. in room 14. Fred will be laid to rest next to his parents in Drumheller, Alberta. Thank you Fred. You will never be forgotten.
We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of Jacqueline (Jacqui) Light on Thursday, September 1, 2011 at the age of 53 at KGH with daughter Stephanie and sister Linda by her side; we are at peace that she was released into the arms of Jesus. Survived by her loving daughter Stephanie of Kelowna, sister Linda (Ray) Marcyniuk of Maple Ridge, nieces Andrea, Lyndsi, Kirsten, nephews Jeffrey, Brodie and Gage. Sadly predeceased by her parents William and Catherine Reid and brother Derek Reid. Jacqui’s joyous spirit made her a pleasure to be with. Her compassion and generosity were continuously displayed throughout her life. A memorial service will be held on Friday, September 9, 2011 at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Cremation. Interment in Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. To pay tribute to Jacqui , please bring flowers or make donations to BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9.

Survived by his loving wife Marianne of 50 years; sons, Jurgen (Cathy) and Eckart (Tammy); grandchildren, Garrett, Madeleine, Kimberly, Kelsey, Mitchell and Matthew. Hans was born in Wittenberg, Germany on March 22, 1938. As a young man he traveled to Africa, and spent several years working at a mission in the Belgian Congo before returning to Germany where he met and married Marianne. In 1969, Hans made the decision to immigrate to Canada to seek a better life with more opportunity for his family and came directly to Kelowna. Hans was passionate about hunting and fishing and took every opportunity to explore the great Canadian outdoors. Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 9, 2011 at St. Charles Garnier Church, 3665 Benvoulin Ave, Kelowna.

December 29, 1933 – August 31, 2011 Jean passed away peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ at the age of 77 years (and on her 54th wedding anniversary) – after an on and off struggle with cancer that lasted 23 years. She spent her last 8 days in the “Hospice House” in Kelowna – a wonderful facility staffed by a skillful group of nursing and caring professionals. In the evening from 10 pm – 6 am a precious group of volunteers showed up to sit with Jean and offer care and consolation as she slept. The family would like to thank those ladies for their presence and assistance – Bless your hearts! After graduation as an RN in 1956 Jean spent the next three years on a private surgical ward (K Flat). Followed by 29 more years in the operating room in the Department of Anesthesiology before retiring in 1988 at the age of 55. Jean will be fondly remembered by her loving husband David, her sister Ruth Redden of Saskatoon, brother Walter (Marie) Davidson of Abbotsford, BC, brother Graeme Davidson of Winnipeg, MB, a nephew and three nieces, many cousins and a large number of very close friends. The family would like to thank the many doctors, nurses and care providers for their compassionate care over these many years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2Z6 or the BC Cancer Agency for the Southern Interior: 399 Royal Ave, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5L3. A memorial service will be held in Regina, SK, at 2 pm on Monday, September 19, 2011 at Regina Funeral Home and burial will take place in the Memorial Gardens – Garden of the Last Supper, #1 Highway East, Regina.
