Seclusion Bay fire mop-up not over yet

Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

Construction of the Westside Road interchange will begin in early August, financed by the provincial and federal governments and managed by the Westbank First Nation. Ground was broken in a ceremony near the WFN band office on July 13. WFN Chief Robert Louie said the day was an important and historic one. “The Westbank First Nation role is to manage the project, and make sure it is delivered on time and on budget, and that’s what we intend to do.” Louie noted the first phase of construction began in September of 2009. Now that the detour roads have been built, the project is ready to move on into the next phase. Ledcor CMI Ltd. has been awarded the construction contract for the planned interchange, roundabout and underpass. Detours around the site are projected to begin after the Labour Day long weekend.

A HELICOPTER dumps a load of water on a house engulfed in flames on the shoreline of Seclusion Bay on Monday afternoon. The house, along with a boat and garage on the same Seclusion Bay Road property, were destroyed by the forest fire, which covered 30 hectares before the forest service firefighting efforts brought the blaze under control. Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

The 67 people evacuated from Seclusion Bay after fire broke out Mon-

day morning will have to remain away from the area for “some time.” Acting Peachland Mayor Peter Schierbeck said crews are working

very hard to protect the property of evacuees and “get them back in their homes and residences.” “Our thoughts are with the evacuees during this

stressful time,” he said. Peachland Fire Chief Grant Topham said it will probably be later in the week before people are allowed to return to the

area. The fire that prompted the evacuation was reported around 10 a.m. Monday near the Peachland/West Kelowna bor-

der and the wind-fueled blaze quickly grew into a 30-hectare wildfire that consumed a West KelowSee Fire A3

W SECLUSION BAY FIRE

Police help rescue stranded area residents Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

Surrounded by flames and candling trees, two men from the RCMP raced to get an elderly woman down a steep path toward Okanagan Lake after they became trapped by fire in Seclusion Bay when the wind suddenly shifted and changed the fire’s path. Const. Ryan Routley and auxiliary Const. Greg Barnard were in Glenrosa Monday morning when they spotted a huge plume of smoke. Routley asked their dispatch if a fire was reported, and then the duo headed toward Seclusion Bay, knowing there were homes there that would need to be evacuated. They started the evacuation at the south end of Seclusion Bay, while Const. Denise Bendfeld worked to evacuate people at Seclusion Bay resort in the north end of the bay. At the first house, Routley could see 85year-old Ann Dixon on the couch and rapped on a door. “She wasn’t waking up so I opened the door and went in there and pretty much had to nudge her to wake her up and I explained to her that we had to evacuate,” said Routley, noting that the woman is hard of hearing. He told Barnard to help get the woman ready to leave, and he headed to a second house to get people out before Barnard urged him to come back. “As I’m driving back to the house…I couldn’t even see the road,” said Routley. “By that time, smoke had completely covered the road.” At that time, the offi-

Ryan Routley look over the area where they rescued an elderly lady on Monday from the path of the fire at Seclusion Bay. cers made the decision to make their way back up the gravel road and head to the highway. At the time, the wind was at their backs, and the flames were 10 to 15 feet away, but mainly in the grass. As they worked their way away from Dixon’s house, Barnard walked in front of the police vehicle to clear objects from the road “because the smoke was too thick to see.” After walking for a bit, Routley lost sight of Barnard and the duo soon realized it was “hopeless” to get back to the highway. “I couldn’t see my

hand in front of my face due to smoke and the only thing I could see were orange flames,” said Barnard. “There was no way we were getting back,” said Routley, who called Barnard back and they retreated to Dixon’s home. Barnard, who has fought fires in the past, said they decided to wait a couple of minutes to decide what to do. “Probably two or three minutes later, the wind shifted on us and that’s when trees started to catch and candle and the fire started to burn around us,” said Barnard. “The fire was within 15 feet of the

house and our vehicle.” The only way out, they say, was the lake. Barnard tried to start the sprinkler system to buy them more time, but power was already out and, with fire burning around them, they instead grabbed wet towels, flares and rope and headed the approximately 500 yards to the water. “It was quite a steep area, but fortunately there was a path we could zig zag down,” said Barnard. The men grabbed Dixon under the arms and helped her down the path—she insisted she would walk. “She was so calm

through the entire thing,” said Routley. A Kelowna fire rescue boat was in the water below, and rescued the trio from the fire zone, said Barnard. “Just as we were leaving, it looked like the residence was going up,” said Routley. Officials now say that Dixon, a Peachland resident, lost a garage in the fire. The duo’s police vehicle was also burned. Meanwhile, Bendfeld said fire was already on both sides of the road when she began banging on cabin doors at the north end of Seclusion Bay to evacuate residents.

“I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face due to the smoke and the only thing I could see were orange flames.”

—West Kelowna RCMP auxiliary officer Greg Barnard

A few minutes later, vehicles started to come back, saying the road was blocked so Bendfeld radioed her boss to say that 30 people were trapped and boats were needed to get them out of the area. Bendfeld admits the situation was a bit “scary” as they could see the fire “advancing” on them as they awaited boats and embers and ash started to fall. All 30 people were safely rescued, said Bendfeld. The fire has since been contained, but an evacuation order remains in effect. cweirda@kelownacapnews.com

na home, garage and boat, and the garage of a Peachland woman. By Monday afternoon, the winds had died down and the fire was contained, with crews working overnight to bolster containment guards and patrol around structures to put out hot spots, said officials in a news release. “We have it contained to the best of our abilities,” said Peachland fire chief Grant Topham as he updated the media Tuesday afternoon. The main concerns for fire crews, he said, is extinguishing hot spots, removing hazardous trees, and dealing with fallen trees. As well, power has been shut off to the area and, once things are safe, Hydro crews will need to assess the situation and determine what needs to be done before power can be restored, said Topham. “When the Incident Command is confident the fire conditions and public safety are assured, the Emergency Operation Centre will consider changing the status of the evacuation,” officials said in a news release. No cause had been determined as of yesterday afternoon, but an investigative team, including members from the RCMP and West Kelowna and Peachland fire departments, has been formed. The evacuation order remains in effect for the 22 families registered with Emergency Social Services and RCMP will be doing security patrols in the area until the evacuation order is lifted, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Duncan Dixon. Highway 97, which was shut down much of Monday, is open with a reduced speed limit through the fire zone.

W SECLUSION BAY FIRE

Residents, vacationers scramble to safety Kathy Michaels & Cheryl Weirda STAFF REPORTERS

Dennis Anderson watched helplessly as fire crews worked to douse flames seemingly intent on destroying his home. “This is really frightening,” said the evacuated Seclusion Bay resident, who got out early enough to drive to a vantage point across the lake. It’s where he camped out to watch high winds fan what started as a small grass fire into a 30 hectare inferno that eventually turned his neighbour’s house and a couple of sheds into charred remnants and ashes. At the height of the day, he estimated his condo was just 50 to 100 feet away from the same fate, although he later witnessed firefighters prevail in their efforts to save the

building. While the fire is considered contained now, all signs pointed to another epic Okanagan blaze when fire broke out just after 10 a.m. Monday. It moved toward the Seclusion Bay developments quickly and in a matter of hours residents of 15 cabins and 13 condominium units were sent into the care of Emergency Social Services. By boat the 15 who were staying in the area were evacuated, and by

day’s end 67 were officially displaced. Worse yet, for many it wasn’t their first run-in with fire. Anderson’s unsettling lake view was a bit of a repeat. He was evacuated from his home for four days last year and, edging closer to the one year anniversary of that event, he couldn’t help but draw comparisons. “It’s hard on your nerves…but last year we were fortunate,” he said, explaining his vantage point 12 months ago was less dire. “This year, water bombers were here within 45 minutes to an hour after the first fire broke…I have never seen the fire crews move as quickly as they have today.” While he found something positive to hold onto in the chaos of smoke

Among those displaced was Tegwyn Curtis, 11, from Grand Prairie, Alta. Last year her family was vacationing in Gellatly Bay when wildfires raged, and the evacuee experience diminished the appeal of a balmy Okanagan summer vacation. But, despite her protests, the family made a return. “We convinced her it couldn’t possibly happen again,” said her mom

Curtis that they needed to get their stuff and loaded up their truck. “We thought we were ahead of the game this time,” said Keith. However, as they were trying to drive away, they were stopped by a Mountie, and directed to rescue boats at the docks below. “We didn’t really have any time at all,” said Atkin, adding that they still felt “pretty lucky” to get out safely. And, the silver lining is that a nearby family friend will house them until the ordeal is completely over, and they can go col-

Atkin said the early signs from the day’s fire led her to believe there was a campfire somewhere, but then she spotted smoke and saw the Seclusion Bay Resort staff huddled on the beach. “I knew something was up,” said Atkin.

lect their belongings. As of Tuesday, forestry officials said the fire is still active between Peachland and West Kelowna, about 350 kilometres east of Vancouver, but it remains contained at 30 hectares in size. Fresh crews joined firefighting efforts Tuesday morning as teams on the ground, backed by helicopters and airtankers, concentrated on dousing hot spots on the hill between Okanagan Lake and the highway linking Kelowna to communities on the west side of the lake.

The 23-year-old stayed at the home until police arrived and was taken into custody. “As the residents did not wish charges, the male was kept until he was sober and released,” Holmes said.

Up to a year wait expected for some Barber Terrace tenants Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

The entire complement of on-duty firefighters responded to the fire, which witnesses say sent flames shooting up to 40 feet in the air, and additional firefighters had to be called in to help. In all, 44 firefighters battled the blaze in the searing heat, with one being sent to hospital with minor injuries. Kovacic said firefighters did a “tremendous” job fighting the fire and managed to get it contained very quickly. Fire investigators have been unable to determine the cause of the fire and have turned the investigation over to the RCMP. However, assistant fire chief Jason Brolund said there was no barbecue, propane or other source of ignition located by investigations. The building, constructed in 2007, was equipped with internal fire sprinklers, but fire officials were not able to determine if they functioned or not because of the damage from the fire. ••• The Salvation Army is co-ordinating donations for the affected residents, accepting new or gently used items at their building, located at 200 Rutland Road South.

He noted it was just a couple of years ago that the representatives stood at the completion of the Campbell Road interchange. “Over the last number of years, we have seen many improvements to Highway 97.” Campbell said the project is part of a more than $600 million investment in upgrading the highway. About 250 jobs are expected to be created by the $41-million Westside Road interchange project. Local MP Stockwell Day said the representation for the Okanagan region has been known for forward-looking and positive ideas. Day, the Conservative MP for the OkanaganCoquihalla riding and the president of the Treasury Board, noted that in the last couple of years, his government has moved to invest in transportation infrastructure. Day said B.C. continues to get its fair share of such investments, with the Westside Road interchange being one of many transportation project examples from that funding. Provincial cabinet minister Shirley Bond noted the representatives at the municipal, provincial and federal levels have worked hard on behalf of the Okanagan for projects like this. “This project is a result of the hard work they’ve done here together.” Ledcor CMI Ltd. president Scott Lyons said the company is proud of

their working relationship with the agencies involved, having been operating in the region for

more than two decades. “Ledcor is committed to completing on time and on budget.”

Ledcor will be responsible for constructing the new interchange at Westside Road and Highway

97, an underpass at Nancee Way and a roundabout at the junction of Sneena and Westside Roads.

The interchange is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011. The Nancee Way

underpass is not expected to be finished until fall of 2012. msimmons@kelowncapnews.com

cil over the wisdom of keeping competitions for public art contracts entirely open saw another round of debate this week. Monday afternoon Kelowna city staff came before council with a metal trellis designed for Knowles Heritage Park, telling council that unlike most recent competitions, only four artists were asked to apply for the job—and all were local. “Transportation on pieces like this is killing us,” said Lorna Rowland, landscape design technician, who pointed out using Okanagan artists will make troubleshooting issues and the installation phase much easier. Normally, the public art committee throws open the doors and asks anyone who wants to apply on a competition to submit their proposal, employing a let-the-bestproject-win attitude.

But it’s been a serious bone of contention with some artists. Popular local sculptor Jock Hildebrand, for example, has told the Capital News he did not apply for the lucrative contract at the W.R. Bennett Bridge because the field was left entirely open. Hildebrand said it was not worth his time, as a business person, to invest four or five days on a onein-100 chance he would secure the contract. Both he and his wife, Carmen, are big proponents of cities selecting a few artists to ask for serious queries when commissioning public art. They say limiting the calls ensures a municipality will attract competitive, high quality artists and shows respect for the artist as a professional. The city’s public art committee sees the issue differently. On a number of oc-

casions, city planner Pat McCormick, who acts as the city staff liaison to the committee, has told council that keeping the competitions open is thought to level the playing field for experienced and upand-coming artists and is seen as a more accountable means of spending taxpayer dollars. “It’s about accountability and transparency and showing no favoritism,” he said. “It means everyone knows what’s being looked for…and it opens the doors to a wide range of responses.” Refusing to limit the competitions geographically also means the city’s public art collection includes a wide breadth of talent and ideas in its pieces, ensuring that Kelowna artists won’t be blocked from competitions in other communities. “Protectionism is the term economists use,” McCormick said. “We

wouldn’t want any other community to limit their competitions from our artists.” Earlier this spring, McCormick told council there is also some concern limiting calls for public art has NAFTA and TILMA trade agreement implications on those projects which exceed the $70,000 mark. A quick look around the competitions in the Pacific Northwest, on both sides of the border, reveals the practice of putting geographic limitations on where the artist comes from is quite common. The iron sculpture designed for Knowles Park was actually the design of a city staff member. Metal Dream Designs, a Carr’s Landing area business run by artist Edward Goodon and his wife Debbie, won the contract to execute that vision largely because they came in with the cheapest price point, city council heard. Very little was done to alter the original concept,

which is a large graphic leaf image acting as a roof over two columns. It will sit at the front of a hedge labyrinth, which

has already been planted. The sculptural piece is expected to be installed in August. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Police search for sex assault suspect Police are reminding people to lock all their doors and block open windows after a woman awoke Tuesday morning to find a teenaged boy sexually touching her. Around 2 a.m. on Tuesday, a 16-year-old boy broke into a home in the 1100-block of Chilcotin Court, on Dilworth Mountain. “He went to the bedroom of a couple, who was sleeping in the residence, and sexually assaulted the 47-year-old female by touching her,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “She immediately awoke and yelled, which woke her husband who was able to take hold of, and restrain the suspect until police arrived.” The woman was not injured, but was shaken by the incident, police say. Police also indicate the youth who was arrested was found to be in possession of marijuana. He was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday on recommended charges of break and enter, sexual assault and possession of a controlled substance. Results weren’t known at press deadline.

W CN RAIL STATION

City hall to see pub design plans Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Bryan Adams

Prospera welcomes back Adams The road to the PNE for Bryan Adams will lead him through Kelowna. Adams will return to Prospera Place for a concert Thursday, Aug. 19, 8 p.m., leading up to his Aug. 21 show at Empire Field in Vancouver to help mark the PNE’s 100th anniversary. Prospera is a familiar venue as Adams has performed live at the Kelowna venue on two other occasions in the past decade. Adams will be joined on this tour by his longtime bandmates drummer Mickey Curry and lead guitarist Keith Scott. Tickets are $49.50 and $69.50 (including HST) and will go on sale Friday, July 23, 10 a.m., by phone at 250-762-5050 or at the Prospera Place box office.

Kelowna’s old CN rail station will give new meaning to the term “neighbourhood pub.” Monday afternoon Kelowna city council got a look at the final designs for the property, which sits at the corner of Ellis Street and Clement Avenue. The drawings effectively build a whole new neighbourhood into the property, adding three commercial buildings around the station. In agreeing to refurbish the CN station, which served as the end of the line for rail travel and plays a huge part in Kelowna’s history, the developer effectively secured the rights to build more density into the property, which will be rezoned from industrial to commercial should it make it past public hearing. The city has also agreed to lighten the load on the number of parking stalls required for the property from 53 to 47, due to the configuration of the buildings needed and its proximity to the downtown core. This didn’t sit well with one councillor.

THEY’VE DONE A REALLY NICE JOB WITH THE RESTORATION OF THE TRAIN STATION, WHICH IS A REALLY SIGNIFICANT PART OF KELOWNA’S HISTORY,. Robert Hobson

“It sets a very bad precedent,” said Graeme James, who voted against the entire proposal because of the parking stall concession. Coun. André Blanleil and the mayor were also a bit unimpressed with a decision to save a Ginkgo tree on the property at the expense of the major view corridor to the heritage building. In saving the tree, the surrounding commercial buildings had to be configured in a manner which blocks the sight line to the historic station for motorists coming down Clement Avenue, council was told, generating a few pointed questions from

both council members as to whether it was entirely necessary. Coun. Robert Hobson was more open to the design concessions. “They’ve done a really nice job with the restoration of the train station, which is a really significant part of Kelowna’s history,” he said.

“…I hope they do a nice job with the interior as well.” Council also agreed at the Monday meeting to enter into a Heritage Tax Incentive Agreement with the owners, providing $1.1 million in heritage restoration costs through tax breaks.

Baby apparently drowns during family vacation Tragedy struck a family as they vacationed near Fintry Delta on Okanagan Lake Friday. North Okanagan Rural RCMP and the North Westside Fire and Rescue responded to a report of a toddler who had been located unconscious, face-

down in Okanagan Lake at around 1 p.m. The child was flown by air ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital. Despite all attempts, the boy could not be revived. It’s believed the boy and his family were visiting the Okanagan from

Alberta. The RCMP and the coroner are investigating but indications are the death was accidental. Police remind the public to be extra cautious in and around the water. —Vernon Morning Star

W BULL RIDING FATALITY

Fundraiser turns to remembering young man Kristi Patton WESTERN NEWS STAFF

A fundraiser to help send a young Oliver cowboy to the high school rodeo finals was to be held yesterday, instead friends and family are mourning his death. Makwala DericksonHall was killed on Friday, after the bull he was riding at the Valemount rodeo stomped on his torso as approximately 200 people watched. Tony Parisi did not know the 18-year-old bull rider, who had just graduated from Mount Boucherie Secondary School in West Kelowna, before the tragic incident took place, but was there helping with trained responders. “I was first-aid and at Makwala’s head when he passed. We helped this strong young man with every breath he had—he fought to live,” said Parisi. A Facebook group called Rest In Peace Makwala was created by a Mount Boucherie school friend and by Tuesday more than 1,800 people had joined, offering their condolences and memories. “Your walk was short but your memory will be long,” wrote one person. Photos posted on the Facebook page show a healthy young man with a giant smile, something his friends say they will always remember about Derickson-Hall. “I think that people will remember Makwala for his great smile, never bringing anyone down, always being a positive person and always being there when people need him,” friend Cole Buchanan told Black Press. “Without a doubt one of the toughest guys I’ve ever had the honour of knowing. A person who wouldn’t quit easily and someone who was a natural born leader.” Mount Boucherie high school football teammate Jordan Shymkowich, who created the memorial Facebook group, said he also remembers how his friend always carried the biggest smile on his face. He said rodeo was DericksonHall’s number one passion in life and he had qualified to compete at the National High School Rodeo finals in Gillette, Wyoming on July 18. While he was a gift-

ed athlete, Shymkowich also remembers that his friend’s voice was something not to be forgotten. “Makwala had a beautiful voice and was very honourable and proud of his ancestral background,” said Shymkowich. Derickson-Hall’s friends commented how he was will always be remembered, loved and was one of the mentally strongest people they knew. “You left us doing the one thing that you love doing, bull riding. You loved the dangerous lifestyle, I remember you telling me,” wrote Rebecca

Soloman. He was also remembered as a “strong leader and gentle spirit.” “Your spirit is so wise that you still taught everyone—young and old— invaluable lessons about life, love, family and friendship,” wrote another poster. “You mastered the art of living.” A wake for DericksonHall, a member of Okanagan First Nation, was scheduled to be held on yesterday with a burial on today, Wednesday, at Nk’Mip on the Osoyoos First Nations Reserve. —with files from Cheryl Wierda

his week I want to discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of altering (spay/neuter) your pet. Spay and neuter are the common terms for permanent surgical removal of the animal’s reproductive organs. Spay refers to removing the uterus and ovaries in females, and neuter refers to the removal of the male’s testicles. Beside the obvious advantage of preventing unwanted puppies and kittens and avoiding the whole discomfort that owners experience with the female heat and the males response to it, there are a few important medical advantages of performing spays and neuters. A medical advantage in females is helping to prevent mammary tumors

FURRY FRIENDS

Moshe Oz (breast cancer). Mammary tumors in animals are usually hormone dependent. If the queen (female cat) or bitch are getting spayed before their first heat cycle their chances of developing mammary tumors are 99.5 per cent less than that of an unspayed female. If the female is spayed after she had one cycle, her chances of developing mammary cancer are 92 per cent lower than that of an unspayed female. After the female has had two heat cycles, spay will not prevent mam-

mary tumor. Hence the best timing for female spay is before her first cycle, which is generally around six months of age. Uterine cancer and ovarian cancer are prevented due to the removal of the susceptible organs. Pyometra is a condition in which the uterus gets infected and filled by pus. The condition has two forms, open pyometra occurs when the uterine cervix is open and pus discharges. This form is less dangerous because it is easier to diagnose. Closed pyometra occurs when the cervix is closed and pus accumulates in the uterus which potentially causes uterine rapture. Pyometra is an important disease to be aware of for any dog owner because of the sud-

den nature of the disease and the deadly consequences if left untreated. Pyometra is a result of hormonal changes, hence spaying the animal will prevent it by eliminating the susceptible organ and the causative hormones. As for males, neutering males in early age helps preventing aggression towards other males. Intact males tend to suffer from benign (non cancerous) enlargement of the prostate gland, which due to its anatomical location may interfere with urination and defecation. Male cats tend to spray their urine around the house as a sign of territorial marking. Neutering the tom cat around the age of six months usually prevents this disturbing habit. Despite the many advantages the procedures have, it should be noted that spaying and neuters are done surgically under full anesthesia. The procedure bears some risks as with any surgical procedure. Immediate complications of neutering include anesthesia-related death, bleeding and infection. These risks are relatively low in routine spaying and neutering; however, they may be increased for some animals due to other pre-existing health problems. Other main disadvantages of altering pets includes neutered male cats having greater chances of developing lower urinary tract infection including presence of urinary crystals or stones. Spayed females can develop urinary incontinence due to the lack of estrogen. Both of those conditions are medically manageable. Despite the possible complications of the procedures, spay and neuter are still recommended by veterinarians. I hope this brief column sheds some light on the reasons for this collective recommendation.

Robson fills big shoes Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The stalwart of the Okanagan Sun linebacking corps the last two seasons has moved on. Now Tyler Robson is ready to move in. With Max Caron committed to Concordia University for the 2010 season, the Sun coaching staff has summoned the 6-foot1 210-pound Robson to make the shift from defensive back to strong side linebackerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a position Caron patrolled as well as anyone in the BCFC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Maxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) shoes are big ones to fill and I know there are big expectations, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about it,â&#x20AC;? said Robson, 21, a graduate of Rutland Secondary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first I was pretty shocked that they wanted me to move to linebacker, but the coaches have been great and (fellow linebacker) Charles Henderson has really helped me out. I welcome the challenge.â&#x20AC;? In playing the strong

Tyler Robson side, Robson will be called upon to play the run and cover receivers with equal proficiency. A big man with good speed, head coach Peter McCall said Robson has the tools to get the job done. The latest confirmation came in last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brown-and-orange scrimmage as Robson picked off two passes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the scrimmage is any indication, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to fit right in,â&#x20AC;? said McCall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that position, you need to be able to jump up and stop the run, as well as being prepared to run like a DB and cover the receiver. Max could do all those

things well and we think Tyler can, too. He was almost too big to be a DB and we always knew he was capable of playing linebacker. As he learns the position, we think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have an impact for us.â&#x20AC;? For Robsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part, there couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a more exciting or challenging position to play on the football field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in on almost every play and I like the idea of being involved in that way,â&#x20AC;? said Robson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, we have some huge bodies up front, a great defensive line and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make the linebackerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs that much easier.

Proch commits Silver for U14 to join Heat girls team 2

One of B.C.’s top high school volleyball prospects has decided to stay right at home. Kelowna Secondary Owls’ setter Chanlder tProch will join the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s squad for the 2010-11 BCCAA campaign. The 5-foot-10 Proch comes to the Heat with plenty of credentials including helping Team B.C. to a gold medal at last year’s Challenge Cup tournament. Ranked sixth among the top high school prospects in the province, rProch was also a key member of Owls bronze medal-winning team last season at the B.C. high school girls 4A cham-

It looked as though United had tied the score a few minutes later when Shelby Dane’s direct kick appeared to cross the line, but the goal was not awarded.

SENIOR LACROSSE

The Armstrong Shamrocks are a puzzle the Kelowna Raiders have so far been unable to solve in 2010. The defending Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League champs have dropped all four meetings

with the Rocks this season, the latest an 8-7 setback on Friday night in Armstrong. The teams now share top spot—both at 7-4—heading into the final weekend of the regular season. Kelowna led by a goal heading into third period but ran into penalty trouble (33 minutes) and failed to hold off the Rocks. Ryan Spring and Jared MacLennan paced the Raiders attack with two goals each. Dan Giger and Logan Strom notched three apiece for the Shamrocks. The Raiders will close out the regular season this Friday at Memorial Arena against the Kamloops Rattlers. Face off is 8 p.m.

losing 12-11. “It was a pretty close series all the way,” said Warriors coach Kelly Cahill. “The Venom are a very good team…we played them hard but unfortunately just came up a little short.” Cahill said a lack of depth defensively may have been the Warriors undoing. The club’s top defensive player, Shawn Hochhausen, is currently out of the country playing hockey. Although it wasn’t the desired result, Warriors proved they belonged with the best in the TOJLL. “When the season started I thought we had a good shot at going to provincials,” said Cahill. “The top three teams, Ver-

open gyms or getting tips after a game, makes me very excited about what they could teach me when receiving coaching from them for an entire season.” As one of the province’s most sought-after high school players, Proch drew plenty of interest from Canadian Interuniversity Sport schools. Still, Proch sees UBCO as an ideal fit as the Heat prepare for a move to the Canada West conference in the fall of 2011. “I have been commit-

ted to UBCO for some time and the more I think about next year, the more anxious and excited I become,” she said. “Also, it will be nice to be home and in Kelowna, where I am content and used to, which will make the transition easier. Another of the many reasons was the excitement of going (to) CIS. To be at that next level will be unbelievable and so challenging.” For head coach Steve Manuel’s part, Proch brings a ton of potential with her to the Kelownabased program. “We couldn’t be hap-

pier that Chandler is joining our program. We have been working with her and watching her play for several years and we believe that she has all the attributes to help us succeed at the Canada West level,” Manuel said. “She will have the opportunity to work with our veteran setters and we will look to Chandler to be our setter of the future.” The Heat expect Proch to develop quickly into a university-calibre setter as she will have the advantage of learning from two veteran setters at UBCO, Caitlyn Nyhus and Alycia Bradstock.

W HARVEST TIME

Taste best of the Okanagan at the 15th annual Cherry Fair Enjoy the tree-fruit gem of the Okanagan at the 15th annual Cherry Fair on Saturday, July 24. Sample over two dozen varieties of locally grown cherries including lamberts, lapins, stella, vans and the marble cherry. Expect to sample cherries from across the Okanagan Valley, including new and experimental varieties from the Okanagan Plant Improvement Company at the Summerland Research Station. Cherry harvesting typically starts in late June in Osoyoos and gradually works its way north. Depending on how warm it has been since blossom time in April, harvest dates vary slightly from year to year. The Kelowna cherry harvest usually starts around mid July. This year the Cherry Fair will be held on the lawn next to the Library Parkade at 1380 Ellis St., just half a block away from the historic Laurel Packinghouse. There will be live entertainment and children’s activities throughout the day, including folk performer John Spearn, minigolf, face painting and more. There will be food vendors, exhibitors and cherries for sale.

cal fruit that we enjoy in the Okanagan,” said Risti Lesperance, marketing & special events coordinator for the Kelowna Museums. “There are dozens and dozens of cherry varieties grown right here in the Valley and we do our best every year to gather the cream of the crop so that everyone has the chance to sample what is arguably the Okanagan’s most delicious product.” Enjoy a day with the family and learn more about the tree fruit industry of the Okanagan. This event will be held rain or shine. Admission is by donation.

Kelowna city council has endorsed a recommendation for Kelowna’s five water purveyors to work collaboratively on a long-term, city-wide approach to the provision of quality water at the least possible cost. Rutland Waterworks, Black Mountain Irrigation District, Glenmore-Ellison Improvement District and South East Kelowna Irrigation District and Kelowna city staff representing the city’s water utility, will draft a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on this initiative. “We have three main objectives: Develop water treatment and supply plans that provide safe and reliable domestic water to all Kelowna residents compliant with current and anticipated Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guide-

lines; provide reliable and affordable water to both agricultural and domestic customers and accomplish both of those objectives at the lowest possible life-cycle cost,” said Randy Cleveland, director of infrastructure planning. In 2009, council asked for a long-term strategy and review of the water treatment and supply systems within Kelowna city limits. A study completed by Associated Engineering outlines treatment and supply options. It also provides preliminary technical background to support application for the province’s financial participation in the various shortand long-term water quality capital improvement projects planned by the water purveyors operating in Kelowna. “To comply with Interior Health Authority water

quality standards, substantial capital upgrades will be needed in the future” said Bob Hrasko, PEng and administrator of the Black Mountain Irrigation District. “We will invite senior governments to participate and they will want to know that we have done our homework,” Hrasko said. Nancy Howlett, general manager of GlenmoreEllison Improvement District said “the MOU will be the first step in a collaborative process. With a view to the long term, we will work together to find a final conceptual design that suits all of our needs.” Recommendations to council, anticipated in 2011, will include an implementation plan and an assessment of the cost implications for water customers.

Simple enough, but not always easy to remember—especially the last one. “The lack of supervision of children, that’s what we see the most,” said Mahoney. “It’s easy for parents to be distracted, and they assume that because their children have had a few swimming lessons they can be led on their own,

Steadman conviction appeal denied Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

The man sentenced to four years in jail for his part in a high profile Kelowna murder had a bid to overturn his conviction denied. Howard Steadman, 56, was convicted and sentenced in 2008 for charges associated with helping Ronda Black dismember and dispose of her husband Keith Black’s body in 1998. At that time, a jury heard Steadman helped take apart Keith Black’s body in Exshaw, Alta., after Ronda Black had transported the corpse there. Once the hands and the head were removed, Steadman disposed of body parts and tools associated with the crime. While Keith Black’s murder was the focus of an exhaustive investigation, Steadman and Ronda Black weren’t charged until 2003. It took another five years for

Steadman to go to trial for his part. By the time he was actually convicted of being an accessory after the fact to murder and obstructing a police officer, a decade had passed. That time delay was the backbone of the appeal. ”He appeals his conviction on the ground that the trial judge erred in failing to stay the charges on the basis that his right to be tried within a reasonable time pursuant to s. 11(b) of the Charter was breached by the long delay,” reads a decision by Justice Catherine Ryan. According to her decision, which was published online yesterday, that argument didn’t hold water because the way the way the original trial process unfolded. Crown had originally charged Ronda Black with the murder of her husband and had included the charges against Steadman at the same time, but it was due to some legal maneuvering by Steadman’s lawyer that his trial didn’t happen

until after Ronda Black had gone through the courts. By April 2004, the defense lawyer had convinced the Crown to allow Steadman and Black’s crimes to be tried separately. “It is those separate proceedings that have been the central source of delay in this case,” writes Justice Ryan. “Initially the sensible decision was made by Crown counsel and accepted by defence counsel that Ms. Black’s trial ought to go first. “Unforeseen by everyone was the fact that Ms. Black’s trial would take an inordinate time to complete.” For that reason, the trial judge’s decision to move ahead with the court proceedings, despite Steadman’s lawyer’s attempts to stay charges, will be upheld. Steadman is on bail with an appeal of his sentence pending, and scheduled to be heard next month. reporter@kelownacapnews.com

Shasta Mobile Home Park entrance given ‘beauty spot’ nod

nother Kelowna beauty spot has been chosen by the Communities in Bloom folks. Joining Copperstone Gate on the corner of Ethel and Highway 97, which was May’s pick, and the attractive property on the corner of Broadway and Ellis near the foot of Knox Mountain, which was the choice for June, is the entrance to Shasta Mobile Home Park, 3745 Lakeshore Rd. This lovely garden is very visible from Lakeshore, and with the increased traffic in the area due to the bridge construction on Gordon Drive, it is getting a lot more attention perhaps than usual. I’m now looking forward to hear about the pick for August, but right now it’s still a secret! Communities in Bloom is a Canadian nonprofit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community involvement and the challenge of a national program, with focus on the promotion and value of green spaces in urban settings. “People, plants and pride… growing together” is the program’s slogan.

JIM HOLE SEMINAR

Wow, what a turnout for Jim Hole’s presentation on Monday evening at the seniors centre organized by the Kelowna Garden Club. Hole is a great gentleman with a wonderful gardening lineage and it was a pleasure to hear him speak. His unraveling of several gardening myths was indeed enlightening and taught us that just because we have done something for years does not always mean it is the correct thing to do.

SYNTHETIC GRASS

lovin’ it! That’s eight mowings I haven’t had to do, several hundred, if not thousands of litres of water, I haven’t had to

waste and nary a weed to be seen. I know to some it just doesn’t make sense for the “garden expert” to

have an artificial lawn, however, it sure makes sense to this garden expert—I can focus on cool plants and not have to

deal with keeping a lawn green. The Don Burnett Garden Show is on AM 1150 Saturdays, 8 to 10 a.m.

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

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

W OUR VIEW

Won’t you be my neighbour?

hen was the last time you borrowed a cup of sugar from your neighbour? Or poked your head over the fence to say hello or offer a friendly wave? Do you even know their names? If you’re a little more neighbourly than some, or have found yourself living in the same quiet neighbourhood for many years, the answer should be easy. However, for many of us in today’s world—chock full of high-density development, sec-

ondary suites and rental houses with a revolving cast of tenants —the answer will test the limits of our memory. It’s the world we live now, but it was not always thus in the Central Okanagan. It wasn’t too long ago where it seemed everyone knew everyone, and a friendly face was just one door away, should you need anything from a kitchen condiment to a borrowed tool to a last-minute babysitter for your kids. And remember Block Watch

and Block Parents? These neighbour-helping-neighbour movements that were popular in the 1970s and ‘80s are still active now, but there seems to be fewer telltale signs posted in windows. And while such developments might be perceived as signs of the times more so than any conscious effort to ignore those around us, it is something of a shame, considering how beneficial such neighbourly relationships can be.

At the very least, it helps to know neighbours’ names, and maybe have their phone numbers scribbled somewhere. It is simply nice to see a familiar face when you’re out washing the car, or know that if you go away for a week, there’s someone to water your plants and pick up your mail. Some say progress has made our world a lot smaller. Perhaps it’s time to make sure we don’t allow our neighbourhoods to lose that small-world feel.

north of Peachland is yet another reminder of how careful we have to be here. But that is not something that seems to have registered with everyone. Less than 12 hours after the Seclusion Bay fire was deemed contained by fire crews, I watched dumbstruck as the female driver of a gray BMW sitting in traffic in front of me on a semi-rural West Kelowna road flicked a cigarette butt out the window of her car. She was not the first to do it and likely will not be the last. But it’s hard not to ask the question: What is someone thinking when they do such a stu-

pid thing? Do they do it because they don’t want to dirty the ashtrays in their cars? Maybe they don’t like the smell stubbed out cigarettes make. But is that smell any worse than the smell that same cigarette makes as it’s being smoked in the car in the first place? In the Okanagan, where dry hot weather is a given each summer and the lessons of forest fires past should be ingrained in every one of us, it’s ludicrous to think that using the outdoors as a dumping ground not only for garbage, but burning garbage, is OK. Smokers, give your heads a shake.

The fire you start may just be a reflection in your rearview mirror but for others it hits them right where they live. It’s still not clear how the grass fire that turned into the 30-hectare Seclusion Bay blaze started, so it would be unfair to blame a careless smoking motorist for starting it. But as long as cigarette butts are tossed from car windows, the chances of doing exactly that remain. So please smokers, learn to use the ashtray in your vehicles and don’t be such idiots.

Another dissatisfied campground user To the editor: Add me to the list of dissatisfied customers of our provincial campsites. We recently met friends at Lighting Lakes for three days and everyone was very disappointed with our experience. The washrooms were under renovations—apparently delayed because of inclement weather so nothing was available until the second day of our stay and two out of the three washrooms were locked until then. Considering the hot water is derived from solar panels and after

waiting a couple of days the best you could do was a tepid shower. The drinking water was not potable, however; this was not a concern to us as we had our own. But I have to wonder about those hearty stalwarts who are either bicycling, backpacking or tenting who rely on a hot shower and a cup of tea at the end of the day. We were never informed of the aggressive deer nor the sighting of a bear by any campground personnel. The only time we saw them was when they were hawking overpriced firewood.

The fee? $30 a day. No showers and no water. My understanding was the fees for campgrounds were higher when they are close to a town. Exactly how they consider the Lodge at Manning Park to be a town is beyond me and the next closest town is Princeton, which is 30 miles away, or Hope, which is 50. But it’s a very popular camping destination that is completely secure—no private campgrounds allowed—so they can pretty much do what they want. If you were to drive there for just the day to

enjoy the scenery and perhaps have a picnic, you must pay a fee to park your car as well. What a money-maker with little service provided. We made the huge mistake of reserving our sites because we didn’t want to be disappointed. The fact that they charge a reservation fee per day is nothing but a cash grab. The very most it should be is per reservation. What a scam. Last year we camped in Washington State. Not only can you make a reservation via the Internet, you can also view the sites

you may be interested in. The sites have power and water and you only pay a one time per reservation fee. We are now heading out to stay in a private RV site complete with 30 amp power, drinking water, free showers and free wireless Internet. The fee? $20 a day with a one-time per reservation fee of $3. I did write the parks department with my concerns and requested a reply. To date I have received nothing.

Make the drive worthwhile.

phones, snow removal.” What on earth has possessed our elected MLAs to agree to such a questionable concoction created by the bureaucrats in Victoria? There also seems to be a quite punitive aspect in relation to ordinary folk enjoying their regular pleasures. According to the same article in The Globe & Mail all the following activities are now subject to HST at 12 per cent, up from five per cent: “restaurant meals, sports lessons, hall rental fees, tickets for live theatres, movies, music concerts and pro-sporting events, gym fees, golf memberships, basic cable television, admission to art galleries.” As well as high ticket items such as home renovations and tradespeople’s services, along with air, rail and bus travel in Canada, even humble regular activities have been hiked

to 12 per cent, including newspapers and magazines, haircuts, shoe repairs, dry cleaning, snack foods and taking little Fluffy to the vet. Aren’t all these hikes what economists call regressive in nature because their biggest impact will be on people with average and below average incomes, as well as on seniors on fixed incomes? Whatever the pros of the province’s revenue needs for the HST, and the cons (the 700,000 plus names on the anti-HST petition are surely telling us something), I suggest that when the B.C. cabinet soon holds its meeting in Kelowna they take one of the late Premier W.A.C. Bennett’s famed “second looks” and reconsider what they have (perhaps unwittingly) unleashed on the long-suffering electorate. John Raybould, Kelowna

hasn’t worked To the editor: Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon recently held a press conference in which he expressed frustration with the sentencing of people involved in marijuana production operations (Kelowna Captial News, June 8). The timing of this media briefing was interesting; legislation regarding mandatory minimum sentences for growops is currently before Parliament. Like Supt. McKinnon, I am a police officer in British Columbia. I express my views on drug policy while off-duty and out of uniform by volunteering with Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. LEAP is a group of current and former criminal justice profession-

als who understand that drug prohibition is a public policy failure. We don’t support or encourage drug abuse, nor breaking the law. We simply believe that regulating and controlling drugs would be more ethical and less harmful than prohibition. While it is easy to criticize the judiciary— judges are professionally bound to ignore such comments—it would be more difficult for a senior police executive to explain the benefits of prohibition. What is so wonderful about this policy that justifies the black market violence and the criminalization of millions of Canadians? David Bratzer, Victoria

lose its acuteness. I often hear people say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to know when I was coming down with something and now it just seemingly appears out of nowhere.â&#x20AC;? You may have experienced a particular feeling from certain individuals; some people you instantly like or feel good about them while others there is a very clear repulsion. Why do you think that is? Have you ever heard of someone being hurt in an accident, taken to the hospital and then diagnosed with a serious disorder that needed immediate attention, a condition that otherwise would have gone unnoticed? How about you yourselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have you ever found out about other health problems seemingly by accident or in unrelated ways? The medical pro-

FINDING REMEDIES

John Sherman fession is opening up to using intuition as a diagnostic tool. As the dean of students at Brown University once said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are speaking of here, using intuition in diagnosing, is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Art of Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that has been pushed aside for technological advances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is time to bring it back into the curriculumâ&#x20AC;Śto incorporate it into the training of our medical students.â&#x20AC;? Professional medical intuitives often work closely with doctors and other medical professionals, using their intuitive skills to assist in a full reading of the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

situation. Although this is not a common practice in Canada, it does occur. Sometimes medical intuition is as simple as following someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life backwards through time to see where important events occurred, providing potential clues to a current health diagnosis dilemma. Great practitioners from all modalities use intuition as just one of many tools; they understand that not all things are black and white, and that sometimes the unseen can be easily seen. We have all heard the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intuitionâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mothers just know.â&#x20AC;? Those terms were coined because mothers have an invisible connection to their children, helping them to understand when their child is not feeling well or that something is just off. It is mothers that often

know far in advance of any medical diagnosis that is ailing their child. As I have pointed out at various times, humans are connected to the past, present and future, and like a radio transmitter we can pick up on things. The problem we face today is we have lost our ability to connect with it all because of so many outside influences. The key is to reconnect with yourself, to turn off the TV and spend less time in front of the computer, to possibly meditate or have a quiet-time session with yourself everyday. You will slowly regain your sense of natural intuition and will be happy you did. This is not intended to be taken as medical advice.

Land deal for health centre now finalized Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The deal to provide land for a new Westside health centre is complete. But while Interior Health now has the land it needs for the project at Brown and Bearing roads in Westbank, plans for the building that will eventually sit on the property have yet to be drawn up. With the required rezoning of half the property still awaiting a final vote by West Kelowna council, Interior Health confirmed Tuesday its deal to buy the land from former Kelowna mayor Walter Gray and several unnamed partners is complete. The sale price, while not officially released, is believed to be $3.45 million. The property is currently in the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve and last year the Agricultural Land Commission ruled only half of the 3.5-hectare site could be used for the health centre. The other half must be returned to active agriculture, said the commission. IH’s spokeswoman Cathy Renkas said preliminary discussions have been held with the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission about how that could be done. Meanwhile, the health centre project is not expected to be fast-tracked. “We’re not anticipat-

ing it moving ahead very quickly,” said Renkas, adding the vote on final reading of the bylaw to rezone the portion of the property that the health center would stand on is not expected to take place until late August or early September. Meanwhile, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation has given its approval for the project, she added. While plans for the building have yet to be drawn up, IH officials have said they expect it to be a two-storey, 4,400square-metre building that would operate for 12 hours a day, seven-days-aweek. While it will not have an emergency room, it will provide urgent care and day surgery. The project is one of IH’s top 10 capital priorities but the health authority has yet to approach the province for funding. In February, the health authority was criticized by some area residents, upset at a lack of detailed information about the project presented at a public hearing for the rezoning application. One resident, Robert Kay, said there was a great deal of speculation about the size of the building and he hoped to learn more at the time. Despite the concerns IH says community support for the health centre is strong. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

TaylorMade Golf Tip of the Week by Jon Kadin: “Main reasons you are not making solid contact with your fairway woods: “(1) Buckling Arms (Chicken Wing)—If you’re trying to hit your shots too hard, your forearm muscles will contract, which causes them to buckle or chicken wing through impact making the shaft of the club not only fall behind the clubface, but it can also lift the club off the ground. “(2) Raising Up— If you’re trying to hit the ball too hard, you will probably look to see the result. This is human nature. This hitting raises your body up, which lifts

the club off the ground. If you couple this lifting with the buckling of your arms, you’re certain to hit topped fairway wood shots. “(3) Hanging Back on Right Side—If you’re hitting the ball solely with your arms, it means you are not using your lower body. This causes you to hang back too much on your right foot through impact, which makes the club shaft lean backwards even more and creates a severely ascending path as the club approaches the ball. “How to Fix It—To make great contact with your fairway woods allow your arms to stretch out as you hit the shot. As the arms get longer, the club will make a wider arc plus the shaft will not lean severely behind the ball at impact. (Jon Kadin is the director of golf at Gallagher’s (jkadin@golfbc. com) and Greg Murtland is the territory manager of TaylorMade (greg.murtland@tmag.com).

W WORKPLACE

Badmouthing your employer (i.e. talking your way out of a job)

mployees sometimes feel an uncontrollable urge to speak frankly about their feelings for their employer. If they do this in any kind of a public forum, they may be talking their way out of a job. Just ask U.S. Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal. McChrystal was, until recently, the commander of the American Armed Forces in Afghanistan. He was, that is, until an article appeared in Rolling Stone magazine quoting his comments concerning his boss (U.S. President Barack Obama) and the American war effort in Afghanistan. The article, by Michael Hastings, was entitled The Runaway General. In the article, McChrystal was quoted saying, among other things, that President Obama looked “uncomfortable and intimidated” during a fmeeting with military officials at the Pentagon. He was also quoted as referring to one aspect of the Afghanistan military operation as a “bleeding ulcer.” He was quoted as conceding that, while the Taliban may no longer have the initiative in Afghanistan, “I don’t think we do, either.” Other members of General McChrystal’s team were quoted making critical and arguably insulting comments about a variety of people associated with the war in Afghanistan. While perhaps not shocking in their content, these are, for certain, the type of comments that can cause the most powerful man in the world to work up a head of steam. The result for McChrystal was an invitation from President Obama to the White House for the kind of chat that seemed likely to end in the delivery of a pink slip. That it did. President Obama removed McChrystal from his post, emphasizing the degree to which the remarks undermined the “civilian control of the military that is at the core of our democratic system.” A little closer to home, a recent B.C. Supreme Court decision confirmed that publicly lambasting your employer may be considered a firing offence. Yingyi Chen worked as a production manager

LEGAL EASE

Robert Smithson at Sable Fish Canada on Salt Spring Island.

Over a period of time, Chen’s performance and conduct became a problem for his employer with the result that he was removed from his position. Chen prepared a letter and sent it to some 40 people (some of whom were shareholders in the company). In the letter, Chen

complained that he was unfairly demoted and had been replaced by someone who was unqualified. He challenged his employer’s attention to safety, claiming an employee was almost killed. His letter suggested the existence of a large degree of discontent among the staff, called the com-

pany’s management “disastrous” and claimed that it “punished” productive employees. As a result of his letter, Chen was summarily dismissed from his employment. And (since it wouldn’t be much of a story without a lawsuit) he sued Sable Fish Canada for

wrongful dismissal. At trial, the court sided firmly with the employer, calling Chen’s statements “exaggerated, disrespectful, and inflammatory.” The court felt that his letter was “clearly an attempt, in part, to embarrass both management and the board of directors.”

The court stated that Chen had gone over the head of his immediate supervisor and the president and even to company’s board of directors. He “sent out the letter in blind faith and hope See Badmouth B7

Crunching the numbers to plan for future business growth

t can be really exciting being an entrepreneur, especially if your idea is cutting edge technology or something totally unique. Some small business owners can be overwhelmed at all the opportunities that may become available for growth. Do we add that new product line? Do we add that new salesperson? How do we decide whether we can afford to go down a new direction with our business? Those answers are found by crunching numbers. First, you need to know what expenses you would need to pay regardless of whether or not you have any sales. These expenses would be considered your fixed

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka expenses or your overhead expenses. Then you need to know how much it costs you to generate your product, these would be your variable expenses also known as Cost of Goods Sold. Then the difference between your sale amount and your variable expenses is your gross margin on your product. You could divide this number by the number of items sold during the period you are analyzing to

get a total margin per unit. If you were to assume that your business was going to end at the end of the month, you could take a realistic look at your profits. So at month-end make sure all your revenues and expenses have been entered into your accounting system. Then take a look at where you can trim the fat and make your business more efficient and develop a plan for achieving this result. Usually with the fixed expenses, there is not much room for change other than negotiating a better lease or a better insurance policy. Looking at the variable expenses, you would need to determine what your margin on your product/service or prod-

ucts/services would be. If you sell a product for $100 and it costs you $70 to make the product your profit is $30 or 30 per cent. If you have a number of products all with different profit margins, you would probably want to put more effort into the production and sale of the product with the highest profit margin, and figure out ways to make the other products more profitable or get rid of that product line entirely. The other question to ask yourself is whether your product is priced competitively. If not, then that could be the reason why your profit margins are low. When we look at expenses, some of us only consider if we have

enough sales to cover the cost of the new expense, but we forget about the cost of producing the product and then wonder how our cash flow got messed up. To figure out if we can afford that new expense the following formula is handy: Amount of new sales needed = Annual Sales/Annual Gross Profit x New Expense. For example, if you were considering hiring a salesperson at an annual salary of $30,000 and currently your annual sales are $150,000 and your annual profit margin is $90,000. If we plug these numbers into the formula: Amount of new sales needed—150,000/90,000 x 30,000 = $50,000 So in order to achieve the same level of profits, you would need to generate another $50,000 in sales to cover this additional expense. If you think this new salesperson would be able to generate these additional sales for you, then it makes sense to hire the new person.

What if you determine that you might only be able to increase your sales by $25,000, you can use the same formula to figure out what you might be able to afford to pay the new salesperson: Salary = 25,000 / ($150,000/$90,000) = $15,000 In this case you would only be able to pay the new person $15,000. We can simplify this more by creating a profit multiplier. Assume that your fixed expenses are $10,000 per month or $120,000 per year, your annual sales are $250,000 and your gross profit on your sales is $150,000. The formula would be: Profit Multiplier = Annual Sales/(Annual gross profit – Net Profit) Profit Multiplier = $250,000/(150,000 – 30,000) = 2.08 Using percentages the formula would be 100%/ (60%-12%) = 2.08 What this means is that in order to cover your overhead expenses and make a 12% profit, you would need to make

$250,000 in sales (rounding is occurring, the actual number is 249,600). So you could now say that for each dollar of expense that you add, you need to generate $2.08 in sales. While these examples use numbers for annual sales, what happens if you haven’t been in business that long or if you are just working on a business plan? You can still use the formulas, but you will need to annualize your results. For example, if in two months your sales were $20,000 you would take that number x (12/2) to get the annual sales amount of $120,000. Usually a business plan is for an entire year, so you would just use the annual numbers from the plan. All this number crunching can be overwhelming for a new entrepreneur, so your accountant can be a valuable resource to help you with your business planning.

Former MLA helps support student West Kelowna resident Danielle Hofer will have help pursuing her bachelor of business administration degree at Okanagan College this fall, thanks to the generosity of former MLA Rick Thorpe and his wife Yasmin John-Thorpe. Hofer is the 2010 recipient of the Rick and Yasmin Thorpe and Friends Scholarship. The Mount Boucherie graduate was selected for the scholarship based on her academic standing, educational pursuits and outstanding community contributions. The $2,500 scholarship was established to support students from the west side of Okanagan Lake, from Penticton to Killiney Beach, who enrol at Okanagan College in a range of studies including business, viticulture, agriculture, engineering, tourism, trades, technologies, English or creative writing. Hofer will attend Okanagan College this fall to

study business. The Okanagan School of Business was especially appealing to Hofer because of the opportunities for students to work closely with community and in student organizations such as Students in Free Enterprise. “I am very interested in social entrepreneurship and I know there are great opportunities to specialize in this field at Okanagan College,” said Hofer. “My ultimate goal would be to one day work for the Canadian Red Cross and use my business training to implement programs, systems and support for health care and education around the world.” Hofer has already gained experience working abroad. She, along with classmates from Mount Boucherie, worked on a campaign to raise funds for a village in Kenya to provide better access to potable water, medical services and education.

Integrity important to any new venture D

How to talk yourself right out of a job

o you ever wonder if you have the desirable characteristics of a successful entrepreneur? Sure, we know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always difficult to start something from virtually nothing, perhaps treading in the dark waters of areas we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the complete skill sets others tell you are needed for a successful entrepreneurial venture launch. As an entrepreneur, your personal integrity is critical for getting and keeping the support of investors and team members, and your ventureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s integrity is critical for getting and keeping customers and vendors. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, but in a practical sense, what does that really mean? Most definitions of integrity include something like the quality of being honest and morally upright. Ye Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found through experience and knowledge that honesty and morality are relative terms, depending on the reference point of both the speaker and the receiver. In business ventures, I must add the only view that really counts is that of the receiver. Integrity invariably must start at the helm of your venture. It can then percolate down through the deepest layers and become, as it ought to be, the heart and soul of your entrepreneurial ventureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture. Simply put, if the entrepreneur who runs the company does not have integrity, a startup usually will falter. Only people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have integrity think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to detect. Lack of integrity, believe it or not, is one of the easiest qualities to detect in people and companies you may come across. It only takes a few actions or choices to establish integrity, but it will take many actions to â&#x20AC;&#x153;resetâ&#x20AC;? if it goes wrong. In the business world, study after study have highlighted that one of the

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young most sought after qualities by customers, vendors and human resource recruiters alike is integrity. In order to succeed as an entrepreneur, you need to have a good idea and the entrepreneurial leadership to make it happenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; in that recipe integrity must be demonstrated at all times. As noted leadership author Dr. John Maxwell cited in one of his many leadership texts of which I have become a true fanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have integrity, nothing else matters, If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have integrity, nothing else matters, eitherâ&#x20AC;? There is no question, dear readers, that integrity is a cornerstone of entrepreneurship. Is there a secret scroll of entrepreneurial tips from which to learn to adopt genuine strong characteristics of integrity to serve the success of your ventureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future? How can the entrepreneur, any entrepreneur for that matter, do everything necessary and build a network of loyal customers and followers and, importantly and critically, a team? There are lots of ways, but one of the most important factors to achieving all of these and build that entrepreneurial dream is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good, strong and dependable character.â&#x20AC;? It has been written by others that a venture depends on your integrity while your integrity depends on delivering what you promise. When integrity is observed and felt throughout a new or altered venture, it becomes part of its culture, and may well be one of the most essential causes of it ultimate success. It is also held that at

the very heart of business integrity is the entrepreneur himself, who understands the value of integrity so much that it shows in everyone involved in their venture and everything related to it. Henceforth, when integrity is found embedded with the nature of the entrepreneur and their venture, existing and potential customers can easily distinguish it and are therefore easily drawn to it. There are several questions that I found myself deliberating upon while researching this article. How can an entrepreneur create a foundation of integrity and how do they maintain it? What are the characteristics of an entrepreneur that leads to a strong foundation of integrity? What are the characteristics of an entrepreneur that can further the trust of their customers and earn their undying loyalty? Finally, what are the characteristics of an entrepreneur that builds a strong reputation for their venture and its future desired success? Every entrepreneur is individually different, with their own strong and weak points. But the following examples can help to build a strong foundation of integrity that customers, employees and vendors can embrace to trust and thus build a reputation that is bound for success: â&#x20AC;˘ Meet your commitmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as an entrepreneur, when you are late with a commitment to investors, customers and personnel, you lose integrity. Your view or reason, falls short of mattering â&#x20AC;˘ Be honest to a fault â&#x20AC;&#x201D;This term can usually mean to be honest as seen by other people. Some think honesty is only related to what is said, but not telling the truth is dishonest, even in court. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver a product or service due to your companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistakes, in-

fine jewelry, a boutique veterinarian clinic, a tea house and a luxury spa and hair salon. The development has also sold 19 condominium units since going on sale in January.

tegrity suggests strongly that you include the real reason in your apology. â&#x20AC;˘ Strong and consistent moral codeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the target here is to meet the receiverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moral code expectation. If your product or service comes out marginal or worse, you will lose that customer and perhaps many more, likely forever. â&#x20AC;˘ Treat everyone with respect (wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the world be a better place?).â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Nobody likes to feel disrespected. Respect is difficult to define in the abstract but quick to be recognized. Be courteous and considerate to all on cultural differences, positions, races, ages and any other type of distinction. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sorry for this one. â&#x20AC;˘ Build and maintain trustâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;trust is a reliance relationship built on character, strength and ability. It may take several good acts to create and one bad one to lose To build ven-

ture trust, you will need to personalize your company. People do business with people. Company brands are often judged by the quality of the people within the organization, starting with their leader. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roll it upâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;integrity must start at the helm. It can percolate down through the deepest layers of the venture and become the heart and soul of your entrepreneurial ventureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture. There you have it, some words of the importance of entrepreneurial integrity.

Kelowna flooring company try to be next big sit-com Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There’s a new vibe at Concept Flooring on Spall Road these days. It’s not like you can hear Frank Sinatra belting out “New York, New York” or anything when you walk through the door, but if the sales staff seem a little perkier, and frankly quirkier, you’re not imagining things. Within the next month the cast and crew of Get Floored—otherwise known as the sales crew and owner of the store where you buy your carpets and hardwood—will find out whether their little office will turn them into movie stars, or at the very least, Canadian sitcom actors. “I think we’ve got something really different here,” said Corey Hilton, or Dan the Man as he’s known on set. The gig started when the real life Concept Flooring’s interior decorator Tracy Thring decided her job was funny enough to be a sitcom.

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

PRODUCT ADVISOR Corey Hilton, writer and interior designer Tracy Thring, store owner Dale McLean and

contract sales representative Darcy Martin all play parts in the sitcom Get Floored, which premiers here Saturday. Thring is part of an actor’s core in Vancouver and has been writing for pleasure all her life. She thought the flooring store, and all the trials and tribulations the sales crew go

through, would make a pretty funny story. And she already had a place to submit the pilot, having found the New York Television Festival’s sitcom competition

online. “I wanted to enter the contest, so I thought well, why not write about what I know?” she said. Whether the cliché proves the “it”-factor for

Thring or not, store owner Dale McLean admits they’ve had a lot of fun with the project. He plays Gerrard Forest in the pilot and said he wasn’t entirely behind the project

when it began. About halfway through, he realized Thing was probably on to something, but it wasn’t real until the day the cameras started rolling in his store. For a few of the store personnel, it’s meant some lifestyle changes. Hilton, for example, walked around with his character’s name shaved in the back of his head for the filming, saying it would take some getting used to if the pilot gets picked up. Then again, it’s a concession he would probably prefer to get used to. “I enjoyed the acting side of it big time because I can see my character being a superstar with his mullet-headed kids,” he said. True to character, sales rep Darcy Martin, who plays the straightlaced, by the book guy in the show, spent a good portion of this interview finishing up a telephone consultation on carpeting before joining in for a few questions.

“It’s a small part,” he said of his character Luther Weatherston. “But he allows the story lines to really open up.” Thring got a lot of help from the local community. Film commissioner John Summerland, radio station K-96.3 and the people at the Centre for Arts and Technology all lent their expertise, but many other places, like Rusty’s Steakhouse, lent locations as well. Thring would like to return the favour by turning those local haunts into television icons, but the first stage will be making it into the top 35 of the New York contest so she can show her work to the networks. She has confirmation her show is definitely in the contest and this Saturday evening cast, crew and writer will host a Kelowna premier at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, July 17, at 7 p.m. For tickets call 250763-1887. They’ll find out whether they’ve made the cut early in August. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Wearable Art gives fashion an twist, Alternator a boost Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR

The Alternator Gallery is proud to bring its unique Wearable Art Gala back to Kelowna for the seventh straight year, on the evening of Friday, July 30. For those of you who don’t know, the Wearable Art Gala is much more than just a fashion show—it’s an artistic exploration of all types of body adornment. This year the evening will unleash 23 artists on stage blending burlesque sex appeal, clever design, breathtaking perform-

ance art, vaudeville humour and sheer spectacle. Highlights from previous years have included a battle dress made from 2000 chopsticks and other unusual designs using string liquorice, tennis balls, pillows, computer keyboards and balloons filled with pebbles. Each year the audience is bigger, the show more finely choreographed, and for the first time ever the evening will feature the G74 Music and Media Arts Festival inspired to bring attendees even closer to the fantasy and thrill that is the Wearable Art Gala. I think that

this addition is going to be an absolute turning point for the yearly fundraising event bringing it even more attention and success and staking its place among Kelowna’s top annual events. The event will be held at the Kelowna Community Theatre which, after the show, will be trans-

formed into a multi-stage nightclub experience including media-based visual art and live music from special guest DJs. Media artists Chris Bose, Tim Fehr (spellcastproductions.com) and Arthur (designmodestudios. com) will set the stage with audio, video and performance designed for

interaction. Then, the G74 Music and Media Arts Festival begins as DJs literally lift audiences off their feet with electronic music perfect for mingling, art and dancing. DJ elis Dye opens the evening with his high energy mix of styles, JGirl & Manousos (FlyDj’s) journey through the laid-back grooves of Deep House, while guest DJ Timothy Wisdom unifies, intensifies, uplifts and penetrates the senses. So if you’re looking for a hot summer evening event that opens your eyes to a new side of local art and culture then

I would highly recommend attending the Wearable Art Gala. As I mentioned before, every year the evening brings out larger crowds compared to the last so you won’t want to pass up the opportunity to get your tickets now before they’re sold out. Tickets are $39 for adults, $25 for students and are available at wwwSelectYourTickets.com. Tickets to G74 are $15 or free if you’ve purchased a ticket to the Gala. Doors are at 7 p.m. with the show beginning at 8 p.m. and G74 kicks off at 10 p.m. The Alternator Gallery is Kelowna’s only art-

ist-run centre. This is its major annual fundraiser and all proceeds go towards supporting operations—bringing innovative exhibitions and special events to Kelowna year-round, while supporting the careers of local emerging artists. For more info on the Alternator Gallery or on the Wearable Art Gala visit www.alternatorgallery.com. Pyper Geddes is the assistant manager at Habitat in downtown Kelowna. pyper@thehabitat.c

Hank III brings hillbilly back to country HANK III: REBEL WITHIN (SIDEWALK RECORDS)

The grandson of legendary and revoluntionary Hank Williams (in that he took country and wester from rural to urban settings and situations) has released studio album number five. Hank the 3rd offers a much more traditional hillbilly sounding album with the Rebel Within away form the hellbent for leather punkabilly of past outings. The feature songs Gettin’ Drunk And Fallin’ Down is dag-nabit hillbilly rootsy and there are a couple of country laments about lost love and heroin addiction on Gone But Not Forgotten and #5 respectively. There is some less strident punkability here with the title track Rebel Within and Tore Up And Loud while Hank III plays and sings like grandpappa on Drinkin’ Over Momma (apparently there is no “g” in the country alphabet) that might get some airplay from this fine alt country CD. Youn’ Hank even sounds older and wiser somehow. B-

WINTERSLEEP: NEW INHERITORS (LABWORK/EMI)

This Nova Scotia band has released its fourth studio album and offers a strong mix of indie rock with an artsy twist and the

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell occasional spangly folk/ rock song, the handsome Echolocation. Meanwhile, there are the kinetic rockers Mausoleum and Preservation that I think Arcade Fire fans could admire. My fave track on the New Inheritors is the REM meets the artier side of the Tragically Hip on Blood Collection. Lyrically Wintersleep are somewhat eliptical but often tend to focus on the human condition—check out the existential title track and its “you are not permanent.” Much better than the average indie rock art and perhaps New Inheritors will be Wintersleep’s breakout album. B-

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM: THIS IS HAPPENING (PARLOPHONE)

I had been wondering what had happened to this excellent new LCD Soundsytem album for the last few weeks. The newest LCD Soundsystem just didn’t seem to hit the radar even though Capital News entertain-

ment contributor Pyper Geddes, of The Habitat, placed a song Drunken Girls from This Is Happening on her ‘best of’ mixed tape for this summer’s listening. However, I finally saw last month’s Rolling Stone magazine where this fourth LCD/Ss CD is No. 2 on the college radio charts whereas the charts I usually see from Canada (WWW.canoe.ca) don’t mention campus radio. Anyway, this is a nifty alt-elctronica album with a few sides of indie rock that deserves a much larger audience. The afore mentioned Drunken Girls is energetic and humorous but there is also an arty blend to LCD/Ss’ techno music where it even at times is self-mocking—as with the hypnotic yet sarcastic You Wanted A Hit. Other fine understated

but percolating electronica can be heard on the beguiling One Touch, Dance Y’rself Clean and the closing Home where geezers like me hear a little Booker T & The MG’s butting up with Talking Heads. Lovely stuff still waiting out there to be discovered and deserving of a bigger audience. In a weird way, this is techno music for non-electronic fans. B+

IGGY & THE STOOGES: RAW POWER (SONY LEGACY)

Iggy & The Stooges released two albums back to back in 1969-70 that bombed like crazy even

though they were precursors of late ’70s punk (and punk uber excess) by nearly a decade. The lads were about to pack it in when three years later David Bowie, a huge fan, stepped in and asked them to record another album with him at the helm. This was done and yet another Stooges album bombed. But, like The Velvet Underground whose albums also sold poorly, Iggy & The Stooges’ status grew to legendary proportions as the decades went along. Sony Legacy has rereleased Raw Power as a two-CD set with some hitherto unreleased demo tracks and a fairly well recorded small concert gig in Atlanta where, through blood (literally), guts and determination Iggy & Co. won over the audience that was at first quite hostile. It is fascinating to hear very clearly the audience’s initial commentary and then hear them won over as Iggy snarls and rocks out like a mad man even to the point of challenging the audience to a fist fight. Cool legacy stuff indeed for the hard core fan of pre-punk and Iggy’s wildman style that so many have since tried to copy. B

GIBBS, LORI It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our Lori at the age of 45 years. Lori set very high standards for herself. She spent over a decade working as a nurse at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. She enjoyed golf, card games, drumming and the great outdoors. In recent years, as a result of her battle with depression, she missed her friends, the laughter, joy and peace of mind that life has to offer. Lori’s thoughtful, caring, loving nature and infectious laugh will be greatly missed by her family and friends. “I came in a blossom on a cherry tree Fresh and new in the winds I blew free I remember not that I have flowered before And pray again I will bloom once more.” Lori is survived by her father Mac Gibbs, mother Sharon (Brian) Karst and brothers Andy (Sylvia) and Chris (Lillian), as well as by her nephews and nieces Conner, Zachary, Sarah, Melissa and Jenna. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, July 17th at 10:00am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

SCHNEIDER, JEAN

Born July 29th, 1913 passed away peacefully on July 4th, 2010, at Three Links Manor, with family at her side. She is survived by her children Dolores Neil (Harvey), Rose Marie Fenrich (Mel), Joyce Bell (Gordon),Betty Schneider, Helen Smith (Lyle),Ray Schneider, Bill Schneider (Carol), Noreen Newton, and Darlene Lwowski (Danny). Jean was a very special grandmother to Ken, Dawn, Gary, and Alynn; to Kirk, Troy and Corilyn; to Brad, Karen and Tricia; to Travis, Trent and Cheryl; to Calvin,Kevin and Tina; to Toby, Colby, Angela, and Joey; to Lori and Justin; to Jason, Tyler and Kyle; to Chrissy, Ryan and Jessica. Jean is also survived by thirty-two great grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren, her sisters-in-law, Barbara Ziegler, Lena Ziegler, and Barbara Risling, and a brother-in-law, Peter Meier. Jean is predeceased by her husband, Joe and her grandson, Travis Uphill. Jean farmed with Joe near Scott, Saskatchewan, where they raised their nine children. In the late sixties, they moved to Kelowna and worked at a fruit packing plant.Their retirement years were spent picking fruit, ﬁshing, camping with family and friends, traveling to the States for Reno trips, and planning regular family reunions ending with the traditional ball games. At the heart of every great family is a mother like Jean, who loved and inspired all of us and brought such happiness to many. She will be fondly missed and remembered for her loving smile that could light up any room and now surely lights up the heavens. She will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts. The family will be having a private funeral service and burial to honor Jean in the late summer.

$5 million goal. Kelowna Toyota Ltd donated $20,000, while both Jacobsen Pontiac and MacKay LLP donated $10,000 to the project last week. The Kelowna Y expansion will provide a new child and family centre, youth zone, gym and indoor playground, run/ walking track and preventative health and learning spaces at the Kelowna Family Y. “We believe in investing in the Rutland community. It is a vibrant and growing area that Kelowna Toyota has been a part of for over 40 years,” said Jack Kofoed, general manager of Kelowna Toyota. “We hope this gift will ensure that the recreation, academic and physical activity needs for children and youth are met for generations to come.” “Jacobsen Pontiac Buick Ltd is joining a generous group of community and corporate leaders who recognize the value of supporting the YMCA-YWCA” added Shayne Jacobsen, general manager of the dealership. “We are proud to help the Y significantly expand their services for the benefit of thousands of families in our community.” Similar sentiments were echoed by Murray Bye, director of MacKay LLP Kelowna. “At MacKay we strongly believe in the YMCA-YWCA values and what the organization brings to the community,” said Bye. “We are pleased to support such a great project.” To learn how you can help with fundraising efforts, please visit www. yexpansion.com or call 250-764-9621.

Theatre Kelowna on the move Theatre Kelowna has secured storage, meeting and construction space at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. But now comes the daunting task of moving sets, props and costumes from the theatre group’s current location on Sutherland Avenue. The sets and props will be moved from the 1149 Sutherland location to the RCA on July 25 10 a.m., and the costumes on Aug. 29, 10 a.m. Theatre Kelowna says anyone willing to volunteer their assistance with the moves would be greatly appreciated. For more information call 250-8628673.
