Virus detected in dead bird Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The first case this year of a bird carrying the West Nile virus was recently discovered in a dead crow found in Kelowna. Interior Health and B.C. Centre for Disease Control officials said Thursday the dead bird is the first evidence of West Nile Virus in the province this year. Last year positive virus strains were found in mosquito pools and in two humans in the South Okanagan and the officials said it was just a matter of time before it appeared elsewhere in the valley. THe humans were believed to have contracted the virus elsewhere before returning to the valley. So far this year, no human cases of the virus have been discovered. “This positive confirmation of WNV activity does not come as a surprise,” said Interior Health medical health officer Dr. Rob Parker. He said it was believed to be just a matter of time before it appeared here. In a conference call with the media Thursday

KELOWNA FIREFIGHTERS attempt to hose down a hillside log-pile Wednesday evening on a McCurdy Road property at the northeast corner of the Dilworth Mountain area.
▼ KELOWNA
Firefighters return to familiar territory Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Hopefully the second time will the be charm, when it comes to battling fires on a property adjacent to McCurdy Road. Fire crews were dispatched to a log-pile fire at the hillside property, at around 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Through the night and into Thursday afternoon crews worked to get the blaze under control, despite the fact they were visiting familiar territory. “We were here on July 1 for the same type of fire,” said Jason Brolund, the assistant fire chief. “The effort was prolonged because we needed (an excavator) on the
property to put the fire out and break the pile up.” The source of the blaze would be a firebug’s dream. The pile of woody debris is about 40 feet wide and 100 feet long. The pieces of wood within range in size from six to 18 inches and, combined with recent temperatures, it’s all very combustible.
For that reason alone, the pile should be removed. Brolund said its status is aggravated by the fact it’s also an area familiar to transient populations, and those who like to trailblaze. That said, there’s no apparent cause for ignition and fire crews won’t investigate further.
What they did do, however, is get in touch with the property owner. It’s something they attempted to do the first time a fire broke out, but it’s a “complicated” ownership situation, said Brolund. “We were able to make contact with the owner this time, pull the pile apart and spread it around,” he said.
“He’s committed to work with fire crews to address the risk.” And, perhaps, there’s a lesson for all in this repeat fire spot. “We always encourage people to look at the risks and mitigate them… it makes our jobs a lot easier,” he said. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Local MLAs now on the hot seat Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The man who oversaw the collection of more than 33,000 signatures in the Central Okanagan protest of the implementation of the Harmonized Sales Tax, says he is ready and willing to work to have the area’s three Liberal MLAs recalled. Dan Thorburn, who coordinated the Fight HST initiative petitions in Kelowna-Lake Country, Kelowna-Mission and WestSEESTORY SEE SE STORY STO ORY O RY www.kelownacapnews.com side-Kelowna, said he has not been told if any of the three local MLAs will be among the first targeted for recall. But if they are, he said he is ready to oversee those campaigns as well. Thorburn said, given that more than 25 per cent of voters signed the petitions here opposing the HST, Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson (Kelowna-Mission), Community and Rural Development Minister Ben Stewart (Westside-Kelowna) and backbencher Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country) should all be worried. He told the Capital News Thursday the public is concerned and disappointed that Elections B.C. has validated the initiative petitions in all 85 constituencies in B.C. but is refusing to forward Fight HST’s proposed legislation to abolish the controversial tax to the government, pending the outcome of two lawsuits regarding the tax. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Manslaughter conviction lands Cybak in jail for 14 months STAFF REPORTER
With head bowed, a frail and seemingly remorseful Jake Cybak was handcuffed and removed from the courtroom to begin a prison sentence for his part in the death of a Kelowna teen. “I can’t tell you how sorry I am this happened,” he told the court moments before receiving a sentence of 30 months, less time served. That leaves him 14 months to spend in a provincial prison for the June

2, 2007, manslaughter of 15-year-old Geordie Sutherland. “If it were in my power, I would never have allowed this to happen,” he said. Three years earlier, Cybak welcomed Geordie Sutherland, 15, and a friend into his home after they realized they were locked out of the place they were staying. Having just returned from a bush party where they’d been drinking and smoking pot, the teens went into Cybak’s apartment and sat down to play

some video games. Nothing remarkable happened until Cybak, 49, learned the teens were looking to score some more weed, and he came up with something much more lethal. Cybak, explained Justice Richard Brooke during sentencing, had a long relationship with the drug methadone. It, among other substances, had become a crutch that allowed him to him to deal with pain related to a degenerative back condition. So when Cybak heard
what they were looking for, he said he didn’t “do dope, but did do methadone.” He poured a round of the narcotic into A&W shot-glasses, and the boys drank it. About 45 minutes later, a second round was delivered and the boys left the house shortly thereafter. Somewhere between 4 and 5 a.m. the next morning, the drug started to take its toll on Geordie, although his friend believed he was just going to sleep. By the next day at 3 p.m.—when someone
checked in on him again —he was dead due to a lack of oxygen caused by an intolerance to the drug. “There is nothing further I can say,” said Justice Brooke, after summing up the events of that night and delivering the sentence for the crime Cybak pleaded guilty to earlier this year. “I accept this is a tragedy for the young lad who lost his life and a tragedy for you.” While the judge had little more to add, Geordie’s father Jim expressed some of his thoughts on the matter when he was
outside the courtroom. “It’s unfair…those kids were left in his care,” he said. “They were kids and he fed them methadone.” A five year sentence would be more befitting the crime, he said, and the judge’s decision to grant Cybak two-for-one credit for time served was shortsighted. “But I’m glad it’s over,” he said. “Three years is too long.” In the time since his son died, Jim contends he never heard an apology from Cybak and the
words he delivered in the courtroom didn’t hold much water with him. “I’ve stood next to him a dozen times over the last three years and he’s only ever (apologized) to the court,” he said, adding he’d accept an apology that was delivered to him personally, although he didn’t expect it to happen. “We needed this for closure, so we could move on…but nothing really let’s you move on from something like that. “You’re not supposed to outlive your kids.” reporter@kelownacapnews.com

he may not have a crystal ball or eyelashes down to her knees, but Sylvia Browne is every bit a stereotype— though, not the one she’s aiming to be. Last Friday night, in an ill-fated attempt to seek out some kitschy American humour, I took a friend to psychic-to-thestars Sylvia Browne. For those who don’t know her, Sylvia is the jetsetting medium booked by daytime talk shows galore to dish out a little spiritual and psychic guidance. She’s been married five times—to at least one husband who claims it’s all a hoax—and has even acquired her own career critic in James Randi, a magician who spends his time debunking the “woo-woo” that these showmen of showmen crank out. Now to be fair, as I walked into Sylvia Brown’s show, I didn’t know much about psychics or Sylvia, but I didn’t really have any-

Jennifer Smith thing against checking it all out. As any good newspaper reporter will tell you, intuition is really your best friend in our business and I’m a pretty firm believer a little sixth sense can help anyone one of us out. But not five minutes into the show, I have to say that sixth sense, intuitive nature of mine was screaming: Wow. Not good. This lady’s bunk isn’t helping anyone out. For starters, those who weren’t sitting in comp’ed seats, I learned, had to spend $100 plus for the privilege of listening to this self-ingratiating narcissists sales pitch about. In addition to the pricey ticket, the audience was offered discounts on personal readings—at
$600 a pop. Now admittedly, Sylvia Browne is one funny lady and if her show were at Yuks Yuks, I wouldn’t have much to talk about. But when people who are clearly down on their luck start forking out hundreds, if not thousands, to ask questions of a woman who may or may not even be accurate, I have to admit that’s when my own spidey sense goes off. Sylvia advises people to cast out negative spirits and—hang on you tie-dyed vegans—prescribes a dietary regimen of straight meat. Protein appears to be the answer to all evil in this woman’s spiritually attuned world and securing the right advice, the best route to choosing achieving higher power. No doubt to the relief (or demands) of her lawyers, she repeatedly makes reference to her annual medical check ups and tells everyone a real psychic should be able to advise you on how to avoid the problems he or

Frankly, the picture of this bleached blond, garishly taloned drama queen blowing her melodramatic top sort of cast the wingnut dye for me. Then as the talk drew to a close, the audience began to line up. With tears in their eyes, people began the process of asking one question, any questions, just as long as it didn’t require a full reading. Sylvia tells people whether their dead wives and husbands are doing OK on the other side and told one girl her chronic health problems are to do with her thyroid. An academic study, incidentally, has shown her predictions are not accurate, and yet, in this audience there was a woman plenty willing to publicly demand to know what the difficulty in her love life is all about. So what happens in two years when the poor girl whose dated “every asshole on earth” figures out she’s not getting married in two years time? Fans of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker might know. Whether psychics are real or even whether Sylvia Browne knows what she’s talking about is really not for me to say. But, if you’re looking for one very sad carnival display, there’s a woman with 58 books to her name whose plenty willing to take your money.

▼ MUTILATED CATS
Okanagan
r u o Y
Three grisly discoveries Kelowna RCMP are investigating three disturbing incidents where the mutilated bodies of cats were found. The first incident was reported on July 20 outside a residence on Pheasant St. in Glenmore. The owner found her cat, dead, in a plastic bag on the road in front of her house. The cat’s head and front paws had been removed. The owner also reported that someone had sprayed paint on their garage door. The second incident was reported on July 29 in Rutland in the area of Houghton and Taylor Roads Police received a report from a resident stating that they found part of a cat’s body on the road in front of the residence.
There were no clear markings on the remains that would indicate it had been an animal attack or collision. The third was reported Tuesday on Coronation Road in the Glenmore area. A resident awoke in the morning to find the body of a cat on their front lawn. It appeared as though the cat had been placed and not killed there. It appears as though the cat was strangled with a piece of rope or wire. The owner of that cat is unknown. An aside to this incident is the fact that the resident had their vehicle stolen the day before. Police are investigating the relevance, if any. Police are investigating all these incidents and are not able to confirm whether any of them are directly related.

Fish for sockeye here in the valley or go for a good hike I never imagined I might one day fish for sockeye salmon in Osoyoos Lake. But, today a 10-day recreational fishing opportunity opens for anglers interested in fishing for sockeye in Osoyoos Lake. The decision was made by Fisheries and Oceans Canada because of high sockeye returns to the Columbia River system this year.
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves In fact, up to July 25, the highest number of sockeye salmon returns since 1938 were recorded passing the Wells Dam on the Columbia River: a
total of 250,000 fish. That exceeds the 60,000 sockeye required by the South Coast Integrated Fisheries Management Plan for meeting spawner objectives and providing for First Nations food, social and ceremonial fisheries, so it allows a recreation fishery opportunity. The opening is in the lake’s north basin, from the Highway 3 bridge north to a line beginning
at the east side of the lake at the mouth of Inkameep Creek and west to the Inkameep Lodge pier on the west side of the lake. Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal and nontidal waters in B.C. Fishing must be during daylight hours and there’s a limit of two per day; a possession limit of four and a total limit of eight. For details of the
opening go to: www.comm.pac.dfo-mpo. gc.ca/english/recreation/. Meanwhile, in the hills around Terrace Mountain, morel mushroom pickers have left piles of garbage, from burned-out trailers, wrecked vehicles and appliances to tin cans, pots and pans, plastics and bags of trash, bedding and clothing in the forest where wildfire swept through last year.
It’s not a pretty picture, and it certainly doesn’t reflect well on those who camped out in that area to make a quick buck picking the popular, gourmet mushrooms that love to grow where fire has created ideal conditions. Enforcement officers with the ministry of forests documented and photographed their activity during the mushroom harvest, and the mess left behind is currently being investigated. Ultimately, I’ve been assured, it will be cleaned up, whether by those who created it, or by the ministry, but while the picking and camping itself contravened no legislation, leaving the mess behind certainly did. Morel mushrooms were much sought-after on the South Slopes after the Okanagan Mountain
Park wildfire of 2003 as well, and the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club are inviting members of the public to join them for a guided hike into the park to learn about the impact on the landscape from that fire. Join them Saturday, Aug. 21, meeting at the Parkinson Recreation Centre at 8:45 a.m. to carpool, or at the parking lot at the end of Lakeshore Road a bit later. Naturalists will talk about regrowth and landscape changes since the fire. This is described as a moderate hike, suitable for families, but be prepared to be out for about four hours. Bring water, sun protection, lunch and dress appropriately. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

On Saturday, the park will play host to a classic car show from 1 to 5 p.m., and an outdoor showing of the movie Diary Of A Wimpy Kid at dusk, likely to start between 8:30 and 9 p.m. The event is being presented by the Uptown
For the record A story in last Friday’s Capital News sports section about NHL players training in the Crash Conditioning program at the Redline High Performance training facility incorrectly stated that the parent company for Redline, the Pryme Group, had bought out the Crash program a year ago. In fact, Redline entered a partnership/licensing agreement with Crash program owner Doug Crashley in May 2010, adding another training element to the facility.
Rutland Business Association, this being the third time the association has presented an outdoor theatre night in the park. “The other movies we’ve shown were family oriented films that played to a younger child demographic, but the time when those movies are shown is when those kids tend to be going to bed,” said Deb Guthrie, spokesperson for URBA. “With (Diary Of A
Wimpy Kid) which is based on a popular book, it’s about kids at a middle school level so we hope to attract that audience demographic.” Guthrie said the car show and movie are free, an attempt by URBA to showcase to Kelowna residents what uptown Rutland has to offer. “It’s just a really positive community event,” Guthrie said. The fee for early reg-

Fraudster steers clear of jail
NEWS Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTED
The Kelowna man who admitted to conning numerous classic car enthusiasts out of cash through dodgy online transactions managed to steer clear of jail time; but
he’s not quite a free man. “You’ve been given a considerable break today,” Justice Richard Brooke told Kurtis Eugene Pomerleau, following his sentencing of two-yearsless-a-day of house arrest, with numerous conditions.
“Take advantage of it, and don’t let me see you in here ever again.” Pomerleau, 45, pleaded guilty to 17 counts of fraud on what was to be the first day of his trial last April. Sentencing was delayed, however, when
the courts realized there were more fraud charges against Pomerleau based out of Calgary. Both, it was decided, would best be dealt with together. Squaring away the details for that took until last Monday, when Pomer-
leau pleaded guilty for a second time—his confessional tallying up to 21 fraud charges—making it possible for sentencing to get underway. Between 2004 and 2007, Pomerleau offered classic cars for sale on the Internet.

Buyers either received a car worth much less than what had been presented, or no car at all A total of 28 fraudulent transactions occurred, with restitution now estimated at over $500,000. “People feel cheated, they feel like they’ve been used,” said Crown counsel Martin Nadon of the victims, who were “perhaps more trusting than they should be” when conducting business on the Internet. For that he asked for a three year jail term, although the judge went with defence attorney Grant Gray whose request for a conditional sentence, regardless of aggravating factors such as Pomerleau’s previous criminal record. That record includes three fraud-related convictions in 1983, 1990 and 1992. For that second conviction, he was sentenced to 15 months. The case law, Gray said, shows a conditional sentence is very appropriate in a case like Pomerleau’s. Also a consideration is the fact that Pomerleau is the caregiver for his children, an 18-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl. When all was said and done, those mitigating circumstances may have won the judge over as Pomerleau now faces house arrest. His conditions include no Internet use, refraining from buying or selling vehicles, 80 hours of community service and wearing a mandatory electronic tracking device. He’s obliged to make restitution of $350,997 USD for his B.C. counts of fraud and $173,000 USD for his Alberta charges. Pomerleau’s also not allowed to consume alcohol or go anywhere it’s served as the primary business of an establishment.

‘It’s important for people to be cautious when they’re outdoors‌’ Virus from A1 morning, Parker, along with Dr. Bonnie Henry of the B.C. Centre for Disease Control’s public health microbiology and reference laboratory, said both the Okanagan Valley and the Fraser Valley as believed to high risk areas for the virus, in part because of the weather conditions and the close proximity to Washington State, where the virus has been detected in recent years. There have been several reported cases in horses,
humans and mosquitoes in California, Oregon and Washington State, said Henry. And she urged the public to take precautions against mosquito bites as that is the way the virus is spread. “The best protection against WNV is to avoid mosquito bites and reduce mosquito breading areas,� said Parker. “It’s important for people to be cautious when they’re outdoors, especially in the evening or early morning.� While only about one
in every 150 people who are bitten by an infected mosquito become seriously ill from the virus, many others can be affected by minor but still temporarily debilitating effects. Since 2003, the centre for disease control has coordinated a province-wide surveillance program for the virus, as well as testing dead birds of the corvid family—crows, ravens, magpies and jays—as well as mosquito pool testing and animal and human testing. Despite the serious-
ness of the disease for some, Henry said 80 per
cent of those bitten by an infected mosquito will
have no symptoms as their system has developed
antibodies. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Another attempt made to stage erotic visual arts show Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The woman who runs the Okanagan Erotic Art Show is trying to turn artists back on to the annual sensual visual arts extrav-
aganza. Last spring, Julia Trops found her show in hot water when she tried to partner the local art display with a new event called the Xtreme Fantasy Sex Show, being put on

by another promoter. The pairing seemed logical as both shows explored a variety of aspects of sexuality. “This was not going to be a dildo party,” Trops explained.
“The idea was going to be to include (things like) tantric yoga and the idea of psychology and the whole, complete, sensual side of a person.” Trops felt teaming the local arts community
with the fantasy sex show would give people a fuller, more sensual experience and was quite excited about the prospects for artists. But when the promoter couldn’t tell people

where the event was being held within days of the show, Trops and the arts community began asking questions. A police file was opened, as people had paid to be in the show, and the Okanagan Erotic Art Show, now in its third season, had to be postponed with Trops promising the show would proceed once the smoke cleared. Wednesday evening, Trops made good on the promise, re-opening the call for artists submissions. Although the police matter for the Xtreme Fantasy Sex Show has yet to be resolved, and Trops said she cannot really talk about it, the art show itself is back on track with a new focus on drawing a wider range of talent. “The first year was in the Rotary Centre for the Arts and it went over really well as it ran in conjunction with WAG (the Wearable Art Gala), so we had a lot of people in-
terested in the more edgy side anyway. “The second year was in a commercial gallery— that was Alissa Woodside’s gallery—and we had a huge turnout,” said Trops. Initially, she figured the fantasy sex show would push the event to the next level as they had already done the community and private-type setting and were looking for something more. “I just thought, lets make a big bang. We kind of did, but not the way I was expecting,” Trops said. She is hoping extending the call to artists across the continent will help get the popular event back on track and continue to push the envelope. The show will be held at Ex Nihilo Vineyards in Lake Country, Oct. 14 to Nov. 9. Prospective artists can look at the requirements for the show at www.okanaganeroticartshow.com

and energy. When the kidneys are involved you might note lack of urine production. Toxins which affect the nervous system will lead to signs such as depression, wobbliness and even seizures or coma. If your pet is exposed to any toxic or harmful food item seek veterinary care as soon as possible. Early intervention is critical. Depending on how long since the pet ingested the poisonous food, the vet will attempt to prevent the poison absorption by inducing vomiting, performing stomach lavage (pumping the stomach) or by feeding active charcoal which absorbs some of the toxins. Some toxins have an antidote—a chemical that reverses the toxin effect. The earlier the antidote is given the better chances your pet has to recover. Supportive treatment in many cases also includes intravenous fluids. Pets are part of the family, they enjoy many family activities which obviously include food. There is a large variety of commercial pet foods and treats. If you wish to feed homemade food, seek advice from your vet to keep your pet healthy and safe.

ened with Xylitol. This ingredient mimics the action of sugar in the body, but also causes release of insulin from the pancreas which leads to a condition called hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar. This condition is manifested by weakness, drunken gait, collapse and seizures. Another food for pets to avoid are avocados, which contain a toxic fatty acid called persin. The symptoms of toxicity are usually of gastrointestinal irritation. It is well known that pets should not be exposed to alcohol. Alcohol contains ethanol, a seriously toxic chemical compound that causes central nervous system and respiratory depression. Uncooked yeast dough and rotten fruits also produce ethanol, which even in small amounts can cause toxicrelated symptoms. Please avoid giving bones to your pet, especially chicken and pork bones. These bones are very sharp and can cause damage and even perforation of the intestine. I would also recommend avoiding giving to pets any food items that can lodge and obstruct the gastrointestinal system, such as corncob or fruit pits. Symptoms of intoxication depend on the organ affected. In general, the symptoms are usually vomiting, diarrhea, weakness and loss of appetite

UBCO fire mapping project to focus on the Okanagan STAFF REPORTER
A thick veil of smoke smothering the Okanagan Valley has become an unwelcome summer staple, but its origins and the communal experience it sparks are the foundation of a local project gaining a national spotlight. “Fires are becoming more of an annual event, and they’re getting worse and worse,” remarked UBC Okanagan geography professor Jon Corbett, talking about the impetus to create a fire mapping network focused on the Okanagan. The map, which was created by Corbett along with students Aidan Whiteley and Samantha Brennan, uses a hybrid of mapping technology and social networking tools to compile data on where and when all fires between 1984 and 2009 took place. But, it doesn’t stop
there and for that it’s gained a fairly substantial level of attention from national media outlets. “This is about more than where and when fires are taking place,” he said. “It allows people to share their view on how they, themselves, have been impacted by fires.” Humanizing the disasters, Corbett explained, offers a viewpoint not often shared through traditional media outlets and also offers a “psuedo-therapy” option for those who haven’t had means or medium to express their own views. As an example he read one user-submitted passage: “After closing the door I went numb. I couldn’t think. Where would I begin? My home was full of memories and treasures… Two days later the Okanagan Mountain Park Fire consumed my home. Precious treasures forever gone.”

“I hope it becomes an educational piece, also,” Corbett said. “The fire museum, when it’s complete, can incorporate the map into one of their permanent exhibits. Perhaps in the fu-

Silence indeed is golden in helping find your true self “ When dawn rescues you from the rainforest of the night, who are you before you slip back safely beneath the mask and the name by which you are known during the day?” This question offered by Catholic scholar John O’Donohue has long intrigued me. It came back to mind during a recent 12-day silent retreat. Each night, the Buddhist teacher would instruct us: “Be mindful of your first moment of consciousness
SOUL SEARCHING
Linda Horton when you awake in the morning, before you slip on the clothing of your habitual personality.” It is not an idle or purely philosophical question. We define ourselves by our habits, our likes and dislikes, our as-
sumptions and beliefs, our affiliations and loyalties. How hard it can be to shift those habits, even when they harm or limit us. Or to engage the discomfort of questioning our assumptions when presented with evidence to the contrary. We define ourselves against those who are different—in religion, politics, nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation or race. What would the world be like if we answered the question, “Who are you?”

without drawing such distinctions. Surely it would be more sane and compassionate. Religious traditions tend to offer answers to that question which emphasize our common humanity. Christianity and Islam teach us that we are all God’s children. Buddhism recognizes a “Buddha-nature” in everyone and everything. Native traditions see the Great Spirit in all life. Jesus of Nazareth welcomed into his commu-
nity many who were defined as “unclean” outsiders by his culture. The Buddha rejected the Hindu caste system, declaring it was not the family into which one was born that determined one’s right to respect, but living a compassionate life. Christian apostle Paul insisted that in Christ there is no slave or free person, male or female, Greek or Jew. Aboriginal worldviews often extend “personhood” to creatures that

share this fragile planet we call home. Religion can, we know to our sorrow, be used as a righteous claim of identity that excludes and denies full humanity to those of differing beliefs. But such attitudes distort the teachings of the great prophets. Who are you when you awake in the silence of the night? What do you serve with your precious human life? Twelve days of silence confirmed for me the importance of making space in our lives for such questions. Yet it seems as if this fast-moving society is structured to avoid the very possibility of reflection. Few of us really want the rug pulled out from under our certainties. O’Donohue suggests that our carefully boundaried minds panic “in the face of the creative and generous uncertainty in the heart of life.”

Contemplative practices open us to what Buddhists call “emptiness”— an open space of creative possibility where we can, in fact, make different choices. A Zen story tells of a man who came to a teacher asking to study with him. As they shared tea, he talked about his life story, his ideas and his opinions. The teacher poured his visitor more tea, and kept pouring until the tea overflowed over the table. He told his shocked guest, “That cup is like your mind. It is already full. Come back when you are ready to offer an empty cup.” If we would be open to richer, more tranquil and loving lives, we need to empty ourselves and make room for silence— even 15 minutes a day can make a difference.

National trail race comes to Silver Star
▼ BASEBALL
Applesox put end to Falcons The Falcons’ playoff hopes were dashed Wednesday night as the Wenatchee Applesox took home the three-game series. The second win for the Applesox at 14-1 ended the season for the Kelowna Falcons. This was their 10th year on the field, and the third year in a row that Wenatchee has proved a barrier to further playoff performance. The Kelowna squad pulled down six hits in the away game. Ben Edelstein, Keegan Acker, Tyler Chism, Paul Politi and Kevin Hawk all made contact. A home run was made by Jesse Sawyer at the top of the second inning. Sawyer’s effort was not enough to remedy the three-run deficit already in place. Applesox starter AJ Carman delivered three
runs in the first inning. Wenatchee followed up with a score in each of the first five innings, including five runs at the bottom of the fourth. Secure in the West Coast League final, the Applesox will face the Bend Elks in the championship series after the Elks disposed of the Corvallis Knights. The Falcons’ last stand followed a 2-1 loss to the Applesox the previous evening. The best-ofthree series for the Eastern Division Final pennant was still a possibility for Kelowna at the time of that narrow loss. The Falcons notched a run in the fourth inning during Tuesday night’s game, but the Applesox returned with runs in the fifth and seventh innings.
FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR
AT BAT Applesox player Eric Peterson connects with a Falcons pitch Tuesday at Elks Stadium in Kelowna. He was thrown out at first, but the Applesox won that game 2-1 and followed up the next night in Wenatchee by blowing out the Falcons 14-1 to end the local club’s season.
A national trail race series will hold an event in the Okanagan for the first time this summer, as Kelowna and Westside racers head to the mountains for Five Peaks. Race director Matt Lepp said the Aug. 28 race will be the inaugural event on Silver Star. The race company has been wanting to expand their presence in the B.C.

Ultra-endurance race–think Ironman gone crazy Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR
It is an annual sporting event in the Okanagan that not many have heard of. Most of the people who have heard, shudder at the
thought of competing. It is the three-day, 512.6 kilometer, Ultraman Canada, Individual Ultra-Endurance event held in Keremeos. Think Ironman—taken to the extreme.
Local Kelowna athlete, Kim Froom completed the Ultraman this weekend and is nicely recovering from the ordeal with a mixture of gratitude and excitement. The Ultraman attracts
athletes from around the world. Each year only 40 entrants are allowed, and this year saw competitors from as far away as Brazil and England. It is a tough event; five athletes were not able to complete the
course this year. Assistant race director, Neil MacDonald, said, “We don’t want to make the course too easy.” It comes down to completion says Froom, “Everyone who partici-
pates, including the support teams, the other athletes, the officials, they are all wanting you to be able to finish the event. I am still pinching myself that I completed.” Despite the smoky
haze throughout the course, Froom was pleased with the conditions. “Keremeos was not forty-five degrees and I was very appreciative of See Ultraman A16

Athletes from across the sporting spectrum turned out to cheer on Kelowna’s bid for the 2015 Canada Winter Games. The Games selection committee visited Kelowna on Aug. 10, with stops at the H2O Centre and Capital News Centre. Kelowna is in the running against Kamloops and Prince George to host the first Winter Games held in British Columbia. The host community for the 2015 event will be announced on Sept. 17. Ron Rubadeau, chair of the local committee trying to bring the Winter Games to Kelowna, said the effort has been a year and a half in preparation. “We’re excited and proud to meet the challenge and the opportunity.” He pointed out if Kelowna is successful in the bid, both the city and many partner groups within the community will be involved in “a lot of heavy lifting” over the next five years. Olympic freestyle skier Diedra Dionne trained annually in the Okanagan during her aerial career. She noted the area

Dionne entered the Canada Winter Games in 1994, and underlined the value of the experience for young athletes. Of the three other provincial team members who accompanied Dionne to Corner Brook that year, three eventually stood on the podium at World Cup events, and two became Olympians. The Winter Games was their first taste of what the Olympics could be like. “It was the first time competing in a multisport environment,” said Dionne. The Games was their first time being interviewed by media, and performing in front of large audiences. “On so many levels, it mimics the Olympics.” Dionne moved to Kelowna two years ago
while still a high-performance athlete and noted the suitability of the area for the Games. “There are not a lot of cities in North America that can offer what Kelowna does.” Montreal Canadiens blue-liner Josh Gorges noted Kelowna is a great spot for any event. The former Rockets defenceman pointed out when the city hosted the 2004 Memorial Cup, the support from the city was there. “Everyone I talked to said that was the best tournament that they had been to…They’d never heard a building that loud, never seen the streets fill up like that after.” Gorges said NHL players are increasingly returning to live in Kelowna because of the ice sheets and other facilities available for training, along with the area’s lakes
and golf courses. “You couldn’t ask for anything better.” He added that growing up in Kelowna, kids have the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of sports. Speed skater Mitchell McCullough is one of many taking advantage of the area’s sporting opportunities. Now in his seventh year on the ice, McCullough has competed both provincially and nationally. McCullough and other members of the Kelowna Speed Skating club practise on the ice of the Capital News Centre. “For short track, it’s great,” noted McCullough. The club lays out a course using dots on the ice. McCullough came in second at provincials and ranked 15th during national competition this season in Winnipeg. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

Rockets trade Bowman for Moose Jaw blueliner Smith As baseball fades and football is in full swing, the Kelowna Rockets are getting their roster ready for the rise of hockey season. These preparations include the trade of threeyear veteran defenceman Collin Bowman. Bowman was exchanged for fellow blue-liner Kevin Smith of the Moose Jaw Warriors.
The 19-year-old Bowman put in a request to be moved at the end of last season. Rockets general manager Bruce Hamilton said the defender thought a change would be best for him. “I worked away at this all summer, trying to find a suitable deal for Collin and most importantly, for the Kelowna Rockets. It
was imperative we got a defenceman in return.” The 6 feet two inch 192-pound Smith is hoped to fill Bowman’s role on the ice. Also 19 years old, he played 70 games with Moose Jaw last season. Smith notched seven goals, with 17 assists and 76 penalty minutes. The North Vancouver product has played 169 regu-
lar season WHL games in a Moose Jaw jersey. “In Smith, we hope he will be similar to Collin. Any time you lose a guy that has been with you for three years, it’s difficult. Collin played hard for us every night. In his case, a player that is not happy here needs to be in a situation where he is happy.” The Rockets will take
to the ice at Prospera Place for the first WHL season game on Sept. 25, as they face the Prince George Cougars. Thirty-six home games for the Kelowna team will take place at Prospera, in-
cluding a first-time Jan. 1 match-up against the Spokane Chiefs. “We wanted to change things up a bit for our fans,” said Hamilton. “We’re very excited about our schedule.
We think it’s spread out. I think we addressed some travel issues where we are playing some double headers and making some road swings that I felt was very important for our hockey team.”
Trail run to challenge entrants Trail Run from A15 Penticton. The course terrain is also part of the recipe. “We look for terrain that’s challenging—generally single track, offroad always.” Lepp said the organizers want the courses to incorporate different obstacles, from roots and rocks to fallen trees and small creeks. “Anything that’s going to be fun and rexciting.” Preserving the alpine environment is a priority during the setup and takedown of the course. Lepp fnoted all the trail markers are taken out at the end of each race, and nothing is fspray painted or flagged. f
“Our policy’s always: ‘leave no trace.’ We always will leave the race course exactly the way we found it.” He pointed out the draw of the series comes from both the challenging trail and the sense of accomplishment on completion. “I think people are just looking for challenges. It’s a great way to apply the training that a lot of people do towards something.” He added that even if runners are not headed into the event in a competitive manner, the experience leaves them feeling like they’ve accomplished something substantial. At Silver Star, there
is a wide difference between the 5.4 km sport course and the 12 km enduro. The sport distance climbs parallel to a ski run through a forested area, and then cuts across the mountain through meadows on a single track trail. “The sport course is really open to any level of runner.” Lepp said the enduro course climbs to the summit of one of the mountains and loops out, using locally built hiking trails that travel off the regular marked trails into a section known only by locals and people that use it. “There’s viewpoints and lots of varied terrain.” Lepp said the race
company does not look specifically for mountain resorts to host the races, but the sites generally offer easy access to the terrain. He noted the support of the resorts makes the races more of a destination event. Lepp added that Sun Peaks and Silver Star have helped with the organization of the races and provide safety teams, along with assistance on the smaller details of the events. “I really hope that the Okanagan comes out and supports this run. It would be great to see a lot of locals and people from the area. It’s going to be a really fun day.”

than ‘I can’t.’” Froom did have a tremendous amount of support from friends and family as she trained and competed. Helping her complete the race was her attitude to seize the moment. “I knew that if I looked at the whole race and thought about it I might not finish. But I really embraced being in each moment and taking each moment as it came.” Completing the race is a moment of humility and gratitude Froom said. Now that the pressure of high volume training is off she is planning on taking the time to reconnect with
her friends and family. “I also need time to heal,” she said. “The magnitude of the healing is pretty big.” Froom’s day job is at Iquest and she is hoping that her example will inspire people to maintain a manageable goal, and think about what they can accomplish with a little bit each day. “To me, this race was about removing barriers. I wonder what happens at birthday 51.”

Then Charlotte Kushner and Dory Dueck, were her support through the Day 1 bike course of 144.8 kilometers which looped through Osoyoos. Day 2 was a challenging 273.4 km bike ride from Penticton to Princeton. Day 3 was a double marathon (83.4 km) from Princeton to Summerland. Every day has a 12hour completion time lim-
it. “Sometimes I thought it was a stretch to get within the 12 hours,” said Froom. “But I did it and now I am going to take a few weeks to recover.” One of the surprising things about Ultraman is that only two competitors were under the age of 30. Froom turned 50 this year and describes herself as a ‘recreational athlete.’ Granted, you have to up the volume of training you do to prepare for the race, said Froom, but there was no question in her mind that she could do the Ultraman. “I try to live my life as if I am a great human experiment.

HST move thwarts democracy
A
cting chief electoral officer Craig James has made one of the most bizarre judgments ever in this province’s political history. And he made it in the midst of one of the most fascinating chapters of this province’s history. James ruled the petition against the harmonized sales tax was successful. The bizarre part is that James didn’t issue a public statement on the result and, because a group of business organizations have launched a legal challenge,
is willing to let the petition fester in bureaucratic limbo. The petition secured the required signatures of 10 per cent of the electorate in all 85 ridings —a monumental feat given that when the NDP wrote the Citizen Initiative legislation more than a decade ago it made the threshold for success so high no one ever thought such a petition would succeed. But it has. It’s history in the making. What is particularly disturbing about James’ ruling is
that it sends a message that litigious special interest groups can thwart our democratic process. There is nothing more grassroots than a petition with lots of names on it. This one has more than 700,000 names on it—close to 20 per cent of the province’s population. Given the magnitude of the petition, one would hope our elected officials would step in to ensure our democratic process runs its course. If the Liberal MLAs had any
integrity, they would demand that the petition process not stop on the desk of a bureaucrat such as is the case with Craig James. If they had any courage, they would demand that the subsequent legislation to scrap the HST make its way through committee to the legislature where they could vote on it. If the HST is as good for the province as our Liberal MLAs keep telling us, then they should all be willing, even proud, to stand up in the Legislature and vote to keep the tax.

Clicktivism has watered down our political process “ We should recognize that this really is, kind of, a celebration of democracy,” said Premier Gordon Campbell when questioned about Elections Canada announcement the anti-HST petition earned enough signatures to trigger another vote on the controversial tax. “So to those who felt that it was important enough to motivate them to sign the petition and move it forward, congratulations to them,” he continued. As I read those quotes, I imagined him speaking from a remote controlled Campbell-robot, manned from some Hawaiian island where a DDay clock looms overhead, counting down the hours until the next elec-
tion. It really made the whole thing a lot more exciting, and befitting of the coup d’etat vibe that was circulating when the anti-HST movement got underway. In fact, I think whoever organized this deal has fallen down on the job because that vibe, which was temporarily exciting, has died. Sure the voices of dissent managed to get 700,000 British Columbians—or 10 per cent of voters in each riding—to sign their name on the dotted-petition-line, but has this series of
events sparked any po-
KATHARTIC litical joie de vie, let
alone change? And we got to such a good start. Former premier Bill Vander Zalm gesticuKathy lating about how the Michaels Man has got this province down, offered a welcomed and campy beginning, but in the months that have followed the discourse hasn’t changed. Still, people are just bemoaning the fact they have to pay more money on their haircuts, but they’re not getting any smarter in their approach to
the issue. The conversation isn’t advancing, and the will to change the political landscape of this province doesn’t appear to be getting any stronger. I think it boils down to the fact that we’ve grown into a complacent heap of blob people who only get political when faced with a decision like, should I or shouldn’t I “sign this piece of paper” or “click ‘like’ on a facebook group.” It’s lazy activism referred to by some as clicktivism and I think the HST movement falls into that pile. Those who take advantage of it as a means to build a social movement, subscribe to the same tactics as adver-
tisers and market researchers who are trying to sell products. They gauge social responses, analyze and modify and because we deal with it every day, we’ve become complacent, believing we’re doing our bit. Activism was once a chance to engage in the process, but now it’s little more than a series of petition drives that focus on our lowest common denominator—laziness. So, kudos to you Mr. Premier for your stiff upper lip and amazing robot-replica, but I’m not so sure about this being a great day for democracy.

▼ YOUNG MINDS
Secondary students are too young to deal with strong military recruitment message To the editor: I am very concerned about the military recruitment that is occurring in our schools. Much more money and effort is being put into this since the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan . Recruitment efforts in School District 23 are taking place at job fairs, and posters have been placed in hallways and rooms within the schools. The choice to join the armed forces is a serious and potentially shattering and life-changing decision. Yet a study printed in the Dartmouth News,
Dartmouth College (Feb. 2006) contains the title “Brain changes significantly after age 18.” The researchers determined that many changes take place in the brains of young adults and that the changes are localized to regions of the brain known to integrate emotion and cognition. They conclude that the brain of an 18 year old is still far from resembling the brain of someone in their mid-twenties. Another study done at UCLA, which measured a variety of brain chemicals,
indicated that, in humans, the frontal lobe reaches full maturity after the 20s, marking the cognitive maturity associated with adulthood (researcher Arthur Toga, UCLA; article from Wikipedia). Use of drugs by soldiers, sanctioned by their leaders is also a major concern. An article in Time Magazine (June 16, 2006) entitled “The Military’s Secret Weapon” discusses the officially sanctioned use of antidepressants. The article, written by Mark Thompson, states, “ As wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq have stretched the U.S. military to the breaking point, the Pentagon has quietly okayed the use of antidepressants by stressedout troops.” In case you feel that a distinction should be made between the Canadian and US military, let me add one more piece of information: An article in the National Post on April 27, 2010, reported that the Canadian Department of National Defence has paid the notorious Blackwater security company, now called Xe Services,
more than $6 million to train Canadian troops. (Tom Blackwell, “Blackwater trained our troops,” National Post, 27 April 2010). Recruitment should not be taking place in our schools. If you are concerned, or if you feel that this recruitment of teenagers in schools is wrong, please contact the school board trustees to voice your objection (the School District board office phone number is 250860-8888).

▼ LOBBYING COUNCIL
Kelowna’s downtown core is no longer the hub of business activities To the editor: Those who thought that Kelowna city council’s rescission of CD-21 indicated a sea change in their thinking about building heights in the downtown could only have been disappointed with the action they took at their meeting on July 26. At that time, council approved the recommendations of a report written by policy and planning director Signe Bagh but which was clearly dictated by the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Kelowna Association and the Urban Development Institute, whose recent group letter to the mayor and council demanding immediate ac-
tion to redevelop the fourblock area which was the subject of CD-21 was attached as an appendix to the report. If city council somehow missed this not so subtle attempt to force their hand, representatives of two of those groups were conspicuously present in the public gallery. At its previous meeting on July 12, city council asked city staff to return with some information in order that work could commence on a new downtown plan, but city planners came back with much more than was requested such as the recommendations that 19storey buildings be permit-
ted in parts of the downtown, that there be a staff person to “champion” the interests of the downtown, and that a “Downtown first” policy be incorporated in the Official Community Plan. Regarding the first item, there has not been a single public survey which has shown that a majority of residents support 19 storey buildings in the downtown. City council’s rationale for going that high is to trade developers the right to go beyond the current maximum allowable building height of 12 storeys in return for financial contributions to pay for amenities such as a downtown pier. Now, I am cer-
▼ HEALTH CARE
Praise for KGH ER staff To the editor: I have no doubt that our Canadian health care system is seriously, if not fatally, flawed. However, after spending a long day in the Kelowna General Hospital emergency room on June 3, I have only praise and gratitude for the dedicated and hardworking staff. When I arrived midmorning there were already 30-plus people in the waiting room. Because my doctor had sent me there with a “priority” symptom, I got my turn in triage within an hour. Be-
fore I was discharged, at about 7 p.m., I had been given blood tests, an electrocardiogram, x-rays, ultra-sound, a CT scan and had consulted with two extremely thorough specialists as well as a personable, caring and knowledgeable ER doc. Everyone, the technologists, nurses, other staff and all of the doctors were unfailingly courteous, kind and helpful in the midst of an incredibly hectic and busy situation in a crowded, less than optimum space. Some patients showed anger and
frustration, but that could be expected of sleep-deprived folks in pain. No, it was not fun to spend the day sitting on a hard chair in close proximity to a lot of sick people, but the ER staff managed to keep their cool, their sense of humour, and their caring attitude. Maybe some day we’ll have the political will to “fix” the system, but for now we can be thankful for the “troops on the ground” who do their best in spite of the problems. Evelyn Trefz, Westbank
tain there are other ways to fund such a project without having to sell off our community character, but if that were indeed the only way, I would cheerfully choose to live without such amenities. Nineteen storeys, while being an improvement over the 27-storey building heights in CD21, is still too high. As for the other two recommendations, I think the time has come to acknowledge that Kelowna’s downtown is no longer its central business district, which since the city’s early days has moved closer to the present geographical centre of town. To artificially try to make the downtown Kelowna’s CBD again would come at the expense of giving up our small-town character which tourists and many locals find ap-
pealing. Although cities usually begin with the downtown as their CBD, it does not have to remain that way forever and frequently doesn’t. I have spent the past two winters in Carlsbad, Cal., where their oceanabutting downtown, which locals call “the Village,” is no longer their CBD but rather a human scale district showcasing the heritage of Carlsbad along with having charming shops, boutiques, and quality restaurants. As a result of preserving its historic downtown in this manner, Carlsbad continues to be a leading tourist attraction in Southern California. Kelowna can and should follow such a model if it wants to remain a major tourist draw in B.C. John Zeger, Kelowna

der normal circumstances, but as one Kelowna resident learned it’s not going to speed things up when you’re replacing what you’ve lost. On a motorbike trip across the border Gary Kreller lost his passport. It wouldn’t have been a cause for panic if he hadn’t been rushing home to catch a flight to Rochester, New York, with his son—but he was. “My flight was within 48 hours, and I spoke to my ‘ex and she said I had to start the process right
away,” he said. So, he gathered his pertinent information and trundled down to the Kelowna passport office that opened this March, and tried to get a replacement. “I found out I couldn’t get it,” he said. “At a time I really needed a passport office, I had everything but they couldn’t do it.” Without a printer, the Kelowna office can’t pump out passports at the rate that’s possible in Vancouver. At best it would have taken 48 hours, but Kreller needed the docu-
ment in under 24. “It pissed me off,” he said. “When this office came, I thought it was full service, but that’s not full service.” So, he got all his ducks in a row, booked a lastminute flight to Vancouver and got the new document. “In two hours I had a new passport,” he said, adding the problem was that the cost to get it done was a lot steeper than it would have been had the local office been fully stocked.

When Bryan Adams takes to the stage at Prospera Place on Aug. 19 for his sold-out concert, many of the songs he will perform were co-written by Jim Vallance, one of the most prolific songwriters in Canadian music history. He co-wrote many of Adams’ hit tunes through the 1980s, and went on to write songs for many other artists including Aerosmith, Rod Stewart, Carly Simon, Ozzy Osbourne and Joe Cocker in the ensuing years. But despite his stature in the music industry today, Vallance is largely unknown as he has chosen to remain out of the spotlight. The Capital News recently interviewed Vallance via e-mail to talk about his writing partnership with Adams and his own songwriting career. Question: You were born in Chilliwack but grew up in Vanderhoof. What were your musical influences growing up in small northwest B.C. town? Vallance: I only spent a few years in Vanderhoof. Our family moved a lot, and Vanderhoof was one of many stops along the way. That’s where I joined my first band, at age 13. As far as influences, Bob Williams, the school-band teacher was very supportive. There was a shop on the main street where you could buy records, and the radio station played “rock music” for a whole hour, every Saturday morning! Other than that it was pretty slim. Maybe that was a good thing, because you had to work hard to stay motivated. Q: Did you have an ear for music from an early age or is it something you had to work hard at to learn? Vallance: I wasn’t interested in music as a child. I was into comic books and the New York Yankees. But everything changed when The Beatles arrived in ’64, when I was 11. I learned to play guitar, bass and drums by listening to Beatle records. Q: Was it always a desire for you to be a songwriter or did you also share aspirations of playing and performing on stage as well? Vallance: I played
in a few bands over the years, but bands are too “democratic.” I don’t like how the weakest member has an equal say. With songwriting, it’s not about pushing your idea, it’s making sure the best idea wins. That’s how you write good songs. Q: You have played a major role in Canadian songwriting history over the past 20 years but you live in almost total anonymity. Why have you chosen to stay out of the limelight? Vallance: Songwriters don’t get a lot of attention, which is fine by me. I’ve been with Bryan (Adams) and Ozzy (Osbourne) when they’ve been accosted by paparazzi. Just awful. Who’d wish for that? But once you put yourself out there, once the genie is out of the bottle, you can’t just say, “OK, I don’t want to be famous anymore.” Q: Where do you look for inspiration when writing the lyrics/music to a song? Vallance: Writing lyrics is like connecting dots. If you can come up with an opening line then the next line will often be obvious, and so on. Inspiration is rare. It’s plain hard work. You just keep drafting and re-drafting until you get it right. Q: Is it hard to write a song lyric and then step aside and let someone else write the music, or do you like to be involved in the total creative evolution
Creating musical magic
JIM VALLANCE (left) in his recording studio with Bryan Adams. of a song? Vallance: There might be one or two times when I’ve worked exclusively on lyrics, but generally I’m involved with music and lyrics, right from the start. Q: Both you and record producer Bruce Fairbairn were part of the musical team behind Prism’s original album, which produced several classic tunes such as Spaceship Superstar. You played drums under the pseudonym of Rodney Higgs. What was the thinking behind using a different name other than your own? Vallance: Rodney Higgs was a complete cop-out and I’m still embarrassed by it, 30 years later. The Prism album was the first time my songs had been recorded. I was terrified the album would fail, so I used a “stage-name.” That way they could blame Rodney Higgs instead of Jim
Vallance. As it turns out, the album was quite successful. Q: Why did you choose not to stick with Prism when that first album was met with commercial success? Vallance: Half the members were serious about getting the arrangements right, but the other half refused to rehearse, they just wanted to “jam”. As the main songwriter I was caught in the middle. The bickering was so incessant that I quit the band. Q: How did you come to meet Bryan Adams and forge a writing partnership? Vallance: We met by chance at a music shop in Vancouver in 1978. I’d just quit Prism and Bryan had just left Sweeney Todd, so we were both “unemployed.” We traded phone numbers and got together a few days later. Q: Did you have any sense at that time that Ad-
ams was going to be a success on some level in the music business? Vallance: He was 18, he had no money and he was living with his mom, but he had loads of talent, energy and ambition. You just knew he was going somewhere. Q: Do you have songs you wrote with Adams that have special personal meaning for you or are just particular favourites? Adams: I’ve written more than 100 songs with Bryan. Never once did we sit down and say, “Hey, let’s write a bad song today.” We always tried our best, but naturally some songs are better than others. I think Run To You is pretty good. We spent a lot of time getting the guitar riff just right, and I like the interplay between the bass and drums. Summer Of ’69 is another favourite. I think it tells a good story. Q: How did you and Bryan work together
CONTRIBUTED
when writing songs. Were you apart, in the studio together? Adams: These days we use Skype and email, we’re seldom in the same town at the same time. But back in the ’80s, we’d sit nose-to-nose in my studio and hammer out ideas, 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Q: What’s your take on how Adams has managed to remain a worldwide music phenomenon for such a long time? Vallance: If you’ve seen him perform then you already know half the secret. He’s an amazing singer, and he works really hard on stage. He doesn’t expect the applause, he earns it, one song at a time. And he has a substantial catalogue of material. He can play a two-hour show and the audience knows every word. Not many artists can do that. Q: Why do you think Vancouver was such a
creative hotbed for new up and coming bands and musicians in the late 1970s and early ’80s? Vallance: There were excellent school-band programs in Vancouver in the 1960s and ’70s, which produced a generation of top-notch musicians. Sunshyne, the band that became Prism, included some of those grads. There was also a vibrant club scene on the west coast. Hundreds of musicians working six nights a week, all over town. We all learned from each other. Q: After your split with Adams as co-songwriters, you became a song doctor for many other artists. Talk about your experience working with Aerosmith? Vallance: I don’t really like the “song doctor” thing…I seldom “fix” songs, I write them from scratch. That’s how it was with Aerosmith. We wrote most of Rag Doll the first day we met. It was awkward at first because they didn’t want to work with outsiders, but their record company forced them into it. But once they heard the results they actually asked to come back for the next album, a year later. Q: What is the attraction of collaborating on writing songs with other artists as opposed to writing your own tunes? Vallance: Some things are more enjoyable when you do them with someone else—dinner, a movie…and songwriting! Seriously, when you have another person to bounce ideas off, and to contribute ideas as well, it can only get better. edit@kelownacapnews.com

All three movies have the potential of being hits, especially among the demographic each will appeal to. For women there is Eat, Pray, Love, based upon the 2006 memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert which

Rick Davis chronicles the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip around the world after her divorce. Julia Roberts plays Gilbert, who steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true
pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali. Eat, Pray, Love is directed by Ryan Murphy, creator of the TV shows Glee and Nip/Tuck. It also stars Billy Crudup, James Franco and Javier Bardem. For men and action fans, there is The Expendables, which has Sylvester Stallone paying tribute to the genre that made him famous. Stallone writes and directs this epic action tale

about a team of elite mercenaries who are sent to South America to overthrow a ruthless coldblooded dictator. But once the mission begins, they discover a plot far more sinister than they were led to believe. What makes it epic are the past and present action stars Stallone has brought together, including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Eric Roberts, Steve Austin and even Arnold Schwarzenegger in a cameo. For teenager/young adult crowd, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is one of those movies that many may dismiss as somewhat silly. It stars Michael Cera as the title character who meets the girl of his dreams. In order to win her over, he must defeat her seven evil exes, who are coming to kill him. However, before passing this one over, consider that it is directed by Edgar Wright, who was also responsible for (with Simon Pegg) Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Scott Pilgrim vs. the
World is also getting good notices from many critics and filmmakers like Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino and Jason Reitman. What most critics are commenting on is the use of pop-culture images and references, from comics to videogames to TV shows, to tell the story. It is based upon a comic book series by Canadian Bryan Lee Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley which is set in Toronto. All that is missing from this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s releases is one for the kids, but with holdovers like Despicable Me, Toy Story 3 and Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, there are still lots of choices for that crowd. Plus the next WWE pay-per-view event is on Sunday, Aug. 15 at 5 p.m. at the Grand 10 Cinemas. Summer Slam features matches between Sheamus and Randy Orton and Kane vs. Rey Mysterio.

Not only delicious, a fresh flower cake is a show-stopping centrepiece I
hope that you are all enjoying the bounty overflowing at our twice-weekly Farmer’s Market in Kelowna. We are definitely at the peak of our growing season that offers up all of our favourites. From peaches and blueberries to corn and tomatoes, it is a onestop shop.
FOOD & WINE TRAILS
Jennifer Schell For meats, I highly recommend The Meating Place at the Farmer’s Market. With a huge selection of custom cut organic, farm-raised meats and poultry you can load up your freezer guilt-free. The local lamb is delicious and I also purchased bison steaks, sausages and chicken burgers that I look forward to trying. Owned and operated by Barry and Jane Richardson from Armstrong, you can email them at themeatingplace@live.ca with orders or questions. If you can’t make the Farmer’s Market pop into Day’s Fruit & Veggie Stand for the best corn in town. Remember not to boil your corn for longer than three minutes. Overcooking it makes it tough. Make some chili butter or basil butter to serve with it
for a change. Day’s are located on Byrns Road between Benvoulin Road and Gordon Drive. Do you stress about cooking your barbecued chicken evenly? I have a solution: Spatchcock. Spatchcocking is basically removing the backbone from your bird so that it will lay flat and therefore produce a more evenly cooked chicken. Jackson at L&D Meats in Guishican, or any of the other wonderful butchers there, will be happy to quickly remove it for you to save you time. I like to mix together 2 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary (or fresh thyme), lemon zest from one lemon, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp good olive oil, 1-2 cloves chopped garlic and salt and pepper in a bowl. Then loosen the skin on the breasts and above thigh making pockets and then spread the mixture evenly under skin. Rub remainder of mixture all over your bird and then place in the fridge to allow flavours to absorb— minimum for one hour. Preheat barbecue and grill 20 minutes per side for a perfectly cooked three-pound chicken. Serve with corn on the cob, grilled squash and fresh salad greens for the quintessential summer dinner. For dessert, thrill the crowd by decorating a cake with flowers fresh from the garden. I learned this trick from Traci Cooke who recently created a stunning cake for

Acura ZDX Technology: World-class made in Canada Simple tests to judge build quality. Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR
CONTRIBUTED
THE 2010 ACURA ZDX (Technology model shown) is a luxury oriented all-season four-door coupe that is aimed at people who like to travel in style with all their luggage or sports equipment.
When I drove the Canadian-built Acura ZDX briefly last fall at the press launch, my seat time was far too brief on which to base a driving impression. It was, along with the BMW X6 and Infiniti FX 35, one of the first vehicles in what has been called the “four-door coupe” class, a segment that continues to grow especially in the near luxury group. It has all the utility one would expect in a crossover utility vehicle along with all the curves and a steeply raked rear roofline to make it look very aggressive in a handsome way.
ZDX comes standard with a panoramic glass roof that tapers to the rear. It features two large glass panels (front that opens, rear fixed) designed to give the cabin an open feeling. The front panel is powered with a special wind deflector which helps minimize turbulence and noise. When the front moonroof panel is closed, dual power sunshades can be opened or closed to adjust the amount of light that enters the cabin. The prominent Acura signature grille, xenon headlights and big 19-inch wheels are designed to catch the eye and it works. When you see this vehicle from any angle, especially from the rear, it makes you take a second look. See Acura ZDX B2

Alliston production crew has been ‘doing Canada proud’ Acura ZDX from B1 Now in full production at Honda’s Alliston assembly complex, this is the third Acura being built
there, the others being the MDX SUV and the Canada-only CSX compact sedan. Another reason I wanted to drive this CUV for
a week was to judge the build quality. My personal test for fit and finish is whether two credit cards fit snugly between the panels and slide
easily up and down. If they don’t fit or they wobble, the door fit is mediocre. With the ZDX it was near perfect. Another test is to roar

with six-speed automatic with shift paddles on the steering wheel for those who care about that sort of thing. Transport Canada fuel consumption is rated at 12.7L/100 km city and 8.8L/100 km highway. Fitted as standard is the Honda-developed Super Handling AllWheel Drive (SH-AWD) system. What SH-AWD does is actively vary the torque distribution firstly between front and rear axles, and secondly, between the left and right rear wheels providing the best possible grip depending on circumstances. Called “torque vectoring,” the system functions seamlessly letting SH-AWD overdrive the outside rear wheel up to 1.7-per cent faster than the front wheels. Sorry for the technospeak but this creates what is called a “yaw moment” that keeps the ZDX stable in a turn and lets it rotate better around a corner while quelling the tendency of the ZDX to keep wanting to go straight in what is called understeer.

The ZDX sailed through. In fact it was supple, which I credit to the Acura/Honda Super Handling All-WheelDrive (SH-AWD) which is described in more detail below. Bottom line is the good men and women at the Alliston production plant are doing Canada proud. Acura describes the ZDX as a “passionate getaway” that provides “a means of freedom and escape for two adults and their cargo, whether that’s luggage for a weekend, sporting equipment, antiques or gardening supplies.” The ZDX has a cargo area of 745 litres (26.3 cu ft) behind the back seat and 1,580 litres (55.8 cu ft) with the seats flat. There is also a 25-litre bin hidden beneath the cargo floor in addition to a storage cubbie on each side sculpted into the side cargo bay walls. A touch of class comes from the plated metal latches and full carpeting and power liftgate. Both the rear and front seats are heated as standard. To get you on that “getaway”, the ZDX is powered by a 3.7-litre DOHC V6 producing 300 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque

it, you can see it. Between the two main instruments on the dash, there is a small display showing the four wheels. As you turn left or right, bars come out for each wheel that increase with the level of torque being demanded. Now you probably say this is all very entertaining, but what is the advantage for me? In our climate, snow, slush and ice are villains. If you find the going getting rough, the display will tell you where the traction is, and isn’t. The same holds true for rocky or muddy paths off the main roads. Aiding and abetting all this is a battery of driver assists like standard traction control with stability control not to mention tABS, brake assist and hill start assist. The ZDX is available tas the base model starting at $55,990 or, as tested here, as the toptrim Technology version with an asking and as-tested price of $59,590. The Technology comes with everything, and I mean everything. I wish I could list them all but for “cool factor” how about Acura’s Active Sound Control (ASC) system that is linked to throttle position and engine rpm for quieter cockpit during normal cruising. It is more than simple sound level linked to road speed. The ASC system operates whenever the ZDX is running, whether the audio system is on or off. There are two microphones mounted in the roof, one above the front seats and the other just tahead of the overhead rear dome light. The microphones capture low-end drivetrain frequencies entering the cabin, and then send a signal to the Active Sound Control unit.
MOTORING
According to Acura, “the ASC then creates a precisely timed reverse phase audio signal that is sent to the door speakers and the subwoofer positioned under the cargo deck to dramatically reduce amount of booming sound from the exhaust. ASC also substantially reduces high- and middlefrequency noise during normal cruising.” The 410-watt ELS surround sound system in the Technology model can run up to six iPods and its 15-gigabyte hard drive can store up to 3,500 songs. And lastly, the backup camera has three views: normal, up to 180 degrees and pencil beam for tight spots. One thing you will have to watch out for is the blind spot due to the sloped rear hatch and the very high rear wheel well hunches. You will have to learn to use and trust your outside mirrors. Glancing over your shoulder is not good enough. I suppose it is the price you pay for style, and the ZDX has plenty of that getting tons of looks from other motorists on the highway. But when you look at the rationale behind the ZDX, it’s not so much about utility, which it possesses, but about making a statement which the ZDX does in spades.

Nissan 370Z 40th anniversary model Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR
The 370Z was accelerating nicely, a lovely power drone from the VQ engine resonating through the cabin. The sound waves seemed to swell in sync with my adrenaline rush. I let up on the gas and downshifted as the ap-
proach to the curve grew ever larger in the windshield. Then I slotted the Z into the on-ramp. The lateral g-forces were building, building; pushing me into the door as we spiraled around and around, through the long right-hander before it spit us out and onto the highway. Ah-ha! And the cool-

est thing was that the passenger window didn’t automatically open halfway through the corner. I’ll explain that later. But first, lest there be any hint of conflict of interest whining later, I’d better come clean. I love Zs. This particular model was a 2010 370Z Coupe, a 40th Anniversary Edi-

ten plans. I succumbed to suburbia and became a contented Ford LTD station wagon dad. Until a local dealer played the dirty, rotten, stinking trick of plonking a used but virtually pristine 1983 280ZX Turbo out on his front lawn, where I couldn’t help but see it. It was beautiful. Black and lustrous with gold pinstripes. In the style of the last year of sugar-scoop lights. With a Troof. With a unique tan leather and suede (suede!) interior. And it blended a turbo with a five-speed manual shifter, a mismatched power combination as crazy as it was captivating. I “just happened” to drive by the lot once or twice a day for a week or two, half-hoping it would be gone, half-hoping it would still be there, until I gave in to temptation because “honest, honey, it’s perfect as a second car, just for work.” The 1983 280ZX had its quirks, not least the disconcerting habit of the passenger window powering down during hard right corners. Which I at first took to be an electrical fault, until I figured out that the lateral g-forces of a right turn were pushing my left leg and the crease bumps of my jeans against the perfectly aligned passenger window switch. Duh. But if it was good enough for Paul Newman to race, it was good enough for me. And that old Z, like this new Z, fulfilled the main function of a sports car—to make you smile. Whether it’s in anticipation as you walk towards it, in sheer enjoyment as you drive it, or wistfully looking back as you leave it, with a good sports car, you just have to smile.

370Z from B4 managed that feat through six generations with only one slight blip in production before Carlos Ghosn rescued the companyโ s heart and soul with the rebirth of the Z in 2002. But enough history. This latest 370Z version is particularly handsome with stout haunches that bring to mind Porsche musculature while the wedge-shaped front end shows styling similarities in common with the snake-headed Honda S2000.

And under the hood the VQ37VHR 3.7-litre DOHC 24-valve V6 aluminum-alloy engine makes a whopping 332 hp at 7000 rpm and 270 lb/ft of torque at 5200 rpm. For the purists who pine and moan for the old 240Z, this new pocket rocket makes twice the power of the original (and about 150 horses more than my โ 83 Turbo). And, yes, I know itโ s heavier and filled with more content than the original, but, frankly, the Z evolved into a GT car long before this generation, and the power-
to-weight ratio has also virtually doubled compared to it predecessors. Thereโ s also a roadster version but, as much as I enjoy open-air driving, Iโ m not counting that one due to the extra 120 kg of structural reinforcement and equipment. Thatโ s like driving around with a fat guy in the passenger seat all the time. So Iโ ll stick with the coupe which, in this case, has been bolstered by a 40th Anniversary Edition package in a pre-

Only 120 slated for Canada 370Z from B6 The 2010 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition lists for $48,498, an $8,000 premium over the starting price of a 370Z coupe. But with that added equipment level, collectible unique styling and a limited run of only 120 models slated for sale in Canada, I’m pretty sure they’ll sell out to fans who can afford to pay tribute to Nissan’s performance icon. You know I was going to apologize for taking up so much space with my misty-eyed reminiscences about my old Z, at the cost of providing pertinent, upto-date information on the latest models.
But, nah, I don’t think I will. If you really want to know more about Nissan Zs, well, you’ll just have to start your own love affair.
THE CLASSY DARK INTERIOR of the 370Z 40th Anniversary with its full suite of electronic equipment is set off by red stitching, and red leather inserts on seats and door panels. CONTRIBUTED

No matter how competent a vehicle, a bland design is no longer good enough because there is just too much competition in the marketplace. Just ask Kia, the fastrising Korean brand that has seen sales growth here for 18 consecutive months and is now fourth in overall vehicle sales in Canada for the first six months of the year. With former Audi/VW designer Peter Schreyer
(renowned for his design of the Audi TT and Volkswagen New Beetle) as its design chief, Kia is quickly transforming its product lineup into one of the most stylish in the industry. This sales surge is an obvious reflection of customer acceptance of the new Kia image. The latest to get a makeover is the 2011 Sportage, now more of an urban crossover utility vehicle (CUV) than the compact sport ute it has See Kia B9

A SIDE VIEW of the interior of the redesigned Kia Sportage for 2011.
Schreyer has said he wants to give Kia a global appeal and he wants that appeal to be about “design above all else.” It shows in the narrow band of window glass as seen from a side view of the new Sportage. To some it might be confining, but I didn’t find it so and nor did I find the sightlines obstructed. Starting at $21,995 the 2011 Sportage continues to offer value for the dollar
been since its debut in 1996. With this transformation, it now has more of a car-like feel than ever before. Totally new from stem to stern, the third-generation Sportage has a much sleeker and less boxy look than the outgoing vehicle thanks to a lower stance, even though it is slightly longer and wider.

with many standard safety and technological features found only on vehicles priced much higher. The rough and rugged Yukon is not the place one would expect Kia to launch its new Sportage, but during two days of driving, we got to spend several hours behind the wheel of both trim levels, a loaded EX all-wheel drive with six-speed automatic and a base-level LX front-wheel drive with a
capital news B9
six-speed manual. Both trim levels come with the 2.4-litre DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine. Making 176 hp and 168 lb/ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, this engine has more horsepower than the previous 2.0-litre inline four or the 2.7-litre V6. Early next year, a 2.0-litre direct injection turbo will be offered.

NESDOLY, BENJAMIN
in his 90th year, went home to be with his Lord on August 8, 2010, while sleeping peacefully. Ben was born in Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan, raised on a farm, and attended a rural, one-room school, where he later returned to teach, some time after graduating from Normal School in Saskatoon. While teaching, he also farmed a quarter section in the Blaine Lake area, starting as a mixed farm, and later becoming a weekend/summer farmer. At the same time, he took correspondence courses and attended summer school. In 1960, the family moved to Saskatoon and Ben took a year to attend classes on campus and complete his BA and BEd, majoring in chemistry and math. He taught at Asquith and Elstow before settling at Aberdeen Composite High School for 17 years, until he retired in 1981. He proudly repaired anything that didn’t work, even if he had to order manuals or borrow library books, amassing an enviable tool collection that was meticulously organized. Having placed his faith in Jesus Christ as a young father, he raised children who continue to follow the Lord. He would have considered this his greatest legacy. Ben attended church faithfully, serving in leadership positions and for many years as a Sunday School teacher of both children and adults. Ben shared his time and resources generously, leading a home where hospitality was routine - family, friends and travelling missionaries were all welcome. In 1995 he moved to Kelowna with his wife, Mary, his lifelong sweetheart. He is survived by his sons Ernest (Violet), Arnold (Daphne) and a daughter, Marilyn Shaver (Don), two brothers Eli (Ellen), & Victor (Louise). Also by grandchildren, Calvin (Brizzia), Kevin (Julie), Orrin (Laurie), Timothy, Andrew (Kim), Sonia Spooner (Matthew) and Benjie as well as 11 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Mary in 2006, his parents, Timothy and Matrona Nesdoly, and brothers, Alfred, Alex, and Roy. The funeral will be held on Saturday, August 14, 2010, at the Church of God, 3705 Missions Springs Drive, Kelowna, at 1:00 p.m. with interment to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Gideons of Canada would be appreciated. Arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services in Kelowna, (250) 860-6440.
