West Kelowna council grapple with illegal suite issue Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
Bylaw adjustments passed third reading on Sept. 7 as West Kelowna council continued to hammer out its stance on illegal secondary suites. Several bylaws were on the table to be adjusted. The zoning bylaw allowed changes to off-street parking and loading regulations to allow an additional parking stall required for two-bedroom suites. Adjustment to a fees and charges bylaw would allow an annual registration fee, suite inspections and utility billing at a reduced rate for legal suites. Coun. Rosalind Neis pointed out that concerns brought up during a
public hearing on the issue largely addressed resident’s rights to have input on zoning regulations for their neighborhood. Neis said if a consultant’s report can be believed, West Kelowna has 1,500 to 2,000 illegal secondary suites. She asked how staff would see enforcement of fines taking place. “If we can’t enforce a policy, it seems silly to have a policy.” Neis said the whole intent of the process is to bring illegal suites out into the open so the safety issues of people are addressed. Planning manager Nancy Henderson said staff did discuss enforcement options. She noted there are methods to investigate the existence of illegal suites if necessary, or staff can wait
until complaints occur. Coun. Duane Ophus said it is obvious the district came to this point because the issue of secondary suites was ignored. The district has to worry about whether suites are habitable and safe, acceptable rental accommodation. “It’s not a situation this council would have wished for.” He added that the situation is not substantially different from that faced by any other city of similar size. Prohibition of secondary suites does not seem to make the problem go away. “What we have to do is try to come to grips with that reality.” Coun. Carol Zanon said council has spent a lot of time on the issue. She noted there has been no discussion about the infrastructure or the
capacity of a neighborhood. “I know that I have to accept this and swallow a lot of it.” Zanon asked that there be a review one year after putting the bylaws into effect to see if they are working. Coun. David Knowles said he supported the bylaw, along with Zanon’s suggestion of a one year review. Mayor Doug Findlater noted the district has been dealt a difficult situation inherited from the regional district. The issue of secondary suites has been debated several times, in a process taking place for more than a year. The district has hosted public hearings and put out surveys. Council took nine or 10 suites through the process of legalization, but the sheer volume of suites pointed to the need for a
more sweeping policy. The emerging policy looks more favourably on those secondary suites where the owner occupies the home. “Having owners in the same house as a suite is probably a lot better than having a stand-alone house rented out,” said Findlater. “I’ve lived next to those and it’s a gong show.” He added that council also heard the additional need for parking requirements. “I don’t think council’s had a lot of options on this. We have to make the best of a difficult situation in this particular case.” The bylaw adjustments passed third reading, with the additional amendment of a review in 18 months time.

Lost sibling inspires sister to run for charity marathon Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
What began as a new year’s resolution centred around being more physically active has turned into a marathon effort to honour a missing Kelowna man. When 2010 began, Sarah Bosma resolved to do a marathon this year and quickly zeroed in on next month’s Royal Victoria marathon to train toward. She soon discovered she could race for charity and decided to raise funds for the Missing Children Society of Canada. The reason that charity struck a chord with Sarah is because her brother, Michael, vanished nearly five years ago. Back on Jan. 10, 2006, Michael, who struggled with schizophrenia, left a Kelowna transition house run by Interior Health Au-

“It’s like my therapy,” she says with a smile. On race day, Oct. 10, she will be thinking about Michael, carrying a favourite picture of him in her fuel belt as she logs those 42.2 kilometres on Vancouver Island—a distance equivalent to running from Gorman’s Mill to Penticton. She’s also hoping that she will have raised $2,500 for Missing Children Society by that date. She chose that figure because Michael was 25 when he disappeared and she is now the same age. “I want to raise the $2,500 and cross the finish line,” she said. “I’m excited. I feel ready.” So far, she has raised $900 toward her goal. To find out more about Sarah’s story and the Missing Children’s Society, see her website www. wix.com/sarahbailey11/ running-for-hope.

happened to Michael as “an awkward in-between nightmare.” For the first four years after his disappearance, Sarah found it really hard to talk about it. “I didn’t want to get upset about it, so I just sort of pushed it away,” she said. “Doing this run, for me, has been my time to talk about it.” Sarah began running last winter, which she says is hard time of year for her family because of Christmas, followed closely by the anniversary of Michael’s disappearance and his birthday the following week. “It just helps me deal with it in a positive way, rather than sitting at home, crying,” she said. The goal to raise awareness about her brother’s disappearance through her running has been cathartic, as has the actual effort of hitting the pavement.

Gospel Mission loan forgiven Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Pipedreams of an upwardly mobile downtown Kelowna cost the city $150,000. Five years ago, when city council was planning to have the Gospel Mission clear out of Leon Avenue to make way for high-end developments, it passed the organization funds to embark on a campaign that would help them in that aim. It was intended to be a loan repaid when the shelter and soup kitchen was sold, but Monday it morphed into a gift. As the city’s real estate and building services director Doug Gilchristexplained, the city changed its direction but the mission’s staff held up their end of the bargain. The best way to move forward was to write off the debt, he said especially considering that the money is nowhere to be seen now that the building isn’t going to be sold. “A great deal of site analysis, financial modelling, facility modelling went into …potentially relocating the Gospel Mission,” said Gilchrist, adding consultants were hired and a capital campaign got underway. “A great deal of money was spent at that time to try and determine what model might work, perhaps well beyond the $150,000 we are talking about here today.” The decision to write off the loan was reached unanimously by council who, before making the decisioin, listened to the mission’s Randy Benson explain that the organization’s services continue to be in high demand. Now that they’re not moving, and services continue to ramp up, making the building more esthetically pleasing seems to be the way forward. It’s something council said it would have preferred to see the money dedicated to. “It’s an expensive lesson we’ve learned,” said Coun. Graeme James. “But the Gospel Mission has lived up to its end of the bargain.”

Tucked in the back of the warehouse-sized music store, the school has a different flavour than most, with pictures of his students decked out in KISS costumes on every wall. If surround sound were a picture, it would look like this nook in the Okanagan music scene where the rockers of tomorrow will soon gear up for the biggest concert season of their young lives. Those who take music lessons at Wentworth’s Music Education Centre can pay a $25 fee to enter into three major rehearsal sessions that set up each season’s rock concert. “This is like the experience everybody wanted when they got into playing music,” explained Wentworth as he pointed himself out in a picture dressed as Gene Simmons might. In January, Wentworth himself will get his wish, playing to the largest audience the school has ever played in front of. Wentworth Music has been asked to perform for the opening ceremonies of the International Children’s Games in Kelowna for an audience at Prospera Place of 7,000. The students will then go on to play in Singapore and in SoHo in New York by July. The concerts aren’t exactly what one expects of a recital. With 600 kids now enrolled in the school, 150 12- to 16-yearold rock stars can fill the stage as 100 to 200 peo-

In the meantime, people well beyond the borders of Kelowna are also watching what he does thanks to these affairs. After the school adopted a KISS theme for one of the 2008 concerts, Wentworth sent a letter and a video to the band. And while he did not receive a response, he did receive a phone call from movie producer Louis Antonelli who had seen his
video on both the Gene Simmons site and the KISS site itself and said he was very interested in what the small school is doing. “We’re cutting edge,” said Wentworth, noting

the school’s trip to Singapore is to meet up with the only other school doing a similar program in the world. When the school meets up with the Singapore Academy of Rock they will perform in an
‘80s tribute concert. And as for the KISS link, it produced a landslide of hits to the school’s website and has opened doors for the school to work with other musicians, like Bryan Adams co-writer Jim Vallance. This upcoming concert season should prove a watershed year for the school and the future of Kelowna’s music scene. Wentworth recently expanded to Vernon and has plans to open in other cities down the line, but said for now, there is still room to register in either school though Wentworth Music. He will not disclose this year’s concert theme or anything about the International Children’s Games performances. For details his students, parents and the public at large will simply have to stay tuned. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

City enters housing deal to improve Myra Canyon road Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A treacherous stretch of road leading to a popular tourist destination could become trafficfriendly by next summer, if a deal between the City of Kelowna and a land developer gets a final nod from council next month. The deal, which would see the city become tied to the Canyon Creek development as it antes up cash, would allow the developer to move forward with a series of residential homes, and live up to a 2004 agreement to widen the portion of McCulloch Road, leading up to the
Myra Canyon Trestles. “If council approves the development permit as well as provide final adoption of rezoning Oct. 5, then the partnering agreement goes into effect,” explained Paterson of the agreement between those behind the Canyon Creek development and “That would allow us to discuss, potentially tendering the project right-ofway, and looking to find funds to do a portion of roadwork in the late winter or spring…we would prefer to have it done before tourist season. By a count done in late July, the road could be host to 224 trips on
any given day during peak tourist season. “The Canyon Creek development has been in the back of our minds for several years,” said Paterson. “But because of the development and the inherent costs of getting a development permit, we came up with the partnering agreement that satisfies the cities requirements to develop, and provides confirmation to the developer that they can proceed with development when market returns.” The original development was for 100 bare land strata lots. As part of council’s approval, up to third read-
ing for that development, the developer was supposed be responsible for the road improvements fronting their development. Market conditions kiboshed those plans, so it didn’t go to fourth reading. If it had, they would have had to proceed with the development and been asked to provide a bond for the full value of all of those improvements, which is estimated in the area of $4 million. So, the city will front the road work, refer it to the 2011 budget process —likely borrowing from a reserve to be paid back with the developer pro-
ceeds with his development. If that doesn’t hap-
pen by June 30, 2014, the city gains option to 50

Ten vehicles broken into in condo complex Police have released surveillance images of two people who they say used a rock to smash into a condo complex before breaking into 10 vehicles. Sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning, police say suspects smashed through the front entry door of the Mira Vista condos on Old Okanagan Highway in West Kelowna and then smashed a small side window to get into the underground parking area.

A motorcyclist who police say popped a wheelie as he approached a rKelowna intersection is in hospital with undetermined injuries after his bike collided with a turning sport utility vehicle. The crash happened around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday when the motorcycle, heading south on Springfield Road collided with a northbound Honda SUV that was in the process of turning left onto Gerstmar Road. “I have…three witnesses that have said that the motorcycle driver came out of the curve on Springfield going southbound and then popped a wheelie, which would have contributed to the driver not seeing the motorcycle,” said Const. Lise tMarion. “He put it back on two wheels just prior to the crash maybe when he noticed that she was turning.” The driver of the motorcycle, which had Yukon licence plates, was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries, said Marion. His current condition could not be confirmed at press deadline. The driver of the SUV, a woman, was not injured. Lee’s Music

ference. In telephone interview before his show this week, Lawrence said he has been on the committee assembling the festival and is gearing up for a landmark event he expects could change the country’s music scene. “For many years the Western Canadian Music Awards didn’t seem to have the same caché,” he said, noting acts like Ashley Macisaac could be seen from most Canadian’s living rooms playing the well-known and widely-publicized East Coast Music Awards. The importance and level of attention paid to the West Coast has never been the same. But next month, when Kelowna hosts the eighth WCMA event, organizers are hoping the string of talent performing will blow the entire country away. And Lawrence, a venerable CBC host in his own right, is predicting the four-day event will prove a galvanizing force for Western Canada’s industry, not to mention a major boost for Kelowna’s music scene. “To have it in Kelowna, here in B.C. with Music BC behind it…It seems like a rebirth,” he said. “It’s like the Western Canadian Music Awards are really mattering for the first time.” Described as a “vet-

Drawing B.C. into the fold will take a remarkable show, though, with Tegan and Sara being honoured for their work internationally and performances by the a reunited Grapes of Wrath stacking up against We Are the City in a musical “yin and yang,” Lawrence believes the organizers have done it.

Kelowna is actually a hotbed of musical talent and acumen with bands like Bend Sinister, Ladyhawk and Jon-Rae Fletcher all laying claim to Okanagan roots. Now with Kingdom Cloud, Yukon Blonde and We Are the City coming on strong, Lawrence said he thinks Kelowna in particular is poised to make its mark. A lot of the credit for making it happen should go to Habitat owner Quinn Best, he added, saying he can not get enough credit for ensuring the WCMA made its way to Kelowna. Habitat is up for an award as best music venue, but Lawrence estimates Best should really be appointed mayor for what he’s managed to accomplish. “Hopefully the city is embracing the event for what it is—not just the artists and the musicians,” he said. “This is something that can be legacy building for the City of Kelowna.” Funnily enough, the only guy famous for slagging Kelowna right in the lyrics of a song—Joel Plaskett—also makes Lawrence’s list when he talks about the “do”s and “don’t”s of making friends with media. The seminar will be part of the three-day mu-
sic industry conference and is intended to keep everyone from managers to publicists to musicians themselves on the cutting edge of the tools and techniques needed to talk to fans and media. “Most of the resources are pretty much available for free,” he said, pointing out it’s really about knowing how one uses things like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and even a simple press release. Plaskett’s clearly publicist-driven Twitter feed, for example, is one of Lawrence’s examples of how to alienate fans and crowds in important places as it’s written in the third person, referring to what “Joel” is doing at any given moment. Vancouverite Dan Mangan, on the other hand, has built his army of supporters one person at a time using the same social media tools with personalized messages and updates on what it looks like from behind the scenes. For a touring musician, Lawrence points out, there’s plenty of time in the day to keep on top of fan maintenance, like the time riding the bus or sitting in an airport. “You’re employed for one hour of the 24,” he said. “The rest is about eating, sleeping and fill.” Lawrence will be doling out more tips when he comes to town Oct. 21 to 24. The WCMA is a three-part event including a conference for musicians and those working in the music industry, a citywide music festival dubbed BreakOut West and culminating in the awards show. Lawrence will host the awards show in the Kelowna Community Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 24. The evening will mark the first CBC broadcast of WCMAs. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

W COUNCIL OF CANADIANS
Documentary on water preservation activist to be showcased On Saturday, the Kelowna Chapter of the Council of Canadians will host filmmaker Liz Mar-
shall and her recent Gemini-nominated film Water On The Table at the Okanagan College theatre on
the Kelowna campus, 7:30 p.m. Local offiials said every so often an idea sticks
and won’t go away. It then requires dogged determination to usher it into the world. Water On The Ta-
ble is an example of such a film that needed to be made, no matter what. “Canadian crusader
Maude Barlow has had to defend the life-or-death truth against corporate interests for years,” said

Karen Abramsen, chairwoman of the Kelowna Council of Canadians chapter in Kelowna. “And even today, it is a war un-won. At stake in her crusade is humanity’s own right to the liquid that sustains all life—balanced against powerful interests that insist water is just another resource to be bought and sold.” The documentary explores Canada’s relationship to its freshwater, arguably its most precious natural resource. The film asks the question: Is water a commercial good like running shoes or Coca-Cola? Or, is water a human right like air? “Water On The Table” features Maude Barlow, who is considered an “international water-warrior” for her crusade to have water declared a human right. “We are thrilled to have Liz and her film come to Kelowna because Maude Barlow has a huge following of supporters in the Okanagan Valley,” added Abramsen. Following the film there will be a discussion on local water issues with Byron Louis, environmental activist, and Lloyd Manchester, from Canadian Earthcare Society. Admission will be by donation. .

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
A local story of success Q SPECIAL FEATURE By Bobbi-Sue Menard, CONTRIBUTOR
Total Pet is a true Kelowna success story. The company celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. There are now nine stores across the province including the Kelowna store on Harvey Avenue. After 35 years there are countless customers who love the great service, high quality pet foods and other great products.

in B.C., and John had only seen the concept in California. At the time, pet food, especially dog food, was viewed by many retailers as a drain on profitability. Small bags of pet food had high mark-ups to match the same rate of return as other staple items in the store. Grocery stores would place huge bags of kibble at

It was 1974 when John MacInnis first opened the doors to ChowTown, in Westbank. The idea had never been tried before
the front of the store, which in the view of management was dead space anyway. MacInnis believed that pet owners want-
ed more for their pet, and so ChowTown was created. The original store carried a broad mix of familiar grocery store names, all sold at a discount. Alpo, Purina, and more flew off the store shelves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the mid-1970s there were no super premium type foods. At that time our advantage came through better prices than the grocery store,â&#x20AC;? said MacInnis. Customers have always been searching for the best quality pet food they can find for their dog or cat, says MacInnis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely even in the first days of opening the store people have always wanted what is best for their dog. That desire has always been there and today you see people buy the best they can for their pet.â&#x20AC;? ChowTown became Total Pet in the mid1990s. The company added stores in Penticton, 100 Mile House, Dawson Creek, Kamloops, Quesnel, Williams Lake and Prince George. Total Pet stores are typically larger
than a small town pet store, but without the footprint of the mega chains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly the

Gibbons loves being able to provide the same great service and product line-up that Total Pet has always had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the best things about Total Pet is working with great suppliers.

Healthy and vibrant additions to your family
Q SPECIAL FEATURE By Bobbi-Sue Menard, CONTRIBUTOR
Keeping your dog and cat safe and well cared for is made easier with the right supplies and tools. Total Pet has years of experience in offer-
ing quality products for your dog, cat or other pet. From leashes and collars to specialty food bowls, the shelves are stocked with the necessities that make
owning a pet easier. Dog agility and care is a happy part of many pet owners experience. Total Pet has a full range of supplies to make the most of your time with your dog. Cats have their fair share of great looking
accessories and toys, from water bowls to balls, they are a priority at the store. Fish, budgies, geckos and hedgehogs are all a part of the Total Pet experience. Whether customers are looking to start their first aquarium or add another bird to their home, Total Pet can provide healthy and vibrant pets. “Over the years families and people have really begun to seek out different pets to suit their lifestyle,” says Les Strachan, manager of the Kelowna Total Pet. Strachan has been with Total Pet since 1977. A first fish tank can be an opportunity to teach the basic lessons of feeding and care, while birds and lizards appeal to a broad spectrum of people. The fish selection at Total Pet includes fresh water and salt

water fish. From the basic ‘feeder’ gold fish to get your fish tank started to more exotic salt water varieties, you can find the perfect colour, shape and size. “So many people find fish relaxing,” says Strachan. “We also sell all
of the supplies to get your aquarium started and keep it running and well maintained. Some of our customers are serious hobbyists, while others keep a simple tank for their children.” Hedgehogs can make darling pets for the right owner. A
little shy at first, the nocturnal animal will eventually warm up to a gentle and persistent owner. Total Pet brings in hedgehogs on a seasonal basis and can help new owners understand their new pet and learn how to properly care for them. Like any pet, Les recommends that new owners read and educate themselves on the demands of the pet before bringing home a new family member. If you are looking for a lizard or gecko, Total Pet has choices that can be easy to care for. Bird lovers can choose from healthy budgies and cockatiels. All birds at Total Pet are smuggler free. Total Pet has a full range of specialty bird foods and supplies to keep beaks sharpened and the birds healthy.

Pet food industry has come a long way Q SPECIAL FEATURE By Bobbi-Sue Menard, CONTRIBUTOR
Wanting the best food for your pet is a natural inclination. Total Pet carries one of the best selections of Canadian made and high quality pet foods that can be found. The shelves at Total Pet are filled with a wide mix of brands from some of the biggest names, including Science Diet and Nutro, to small, specialty pet food manufacturers. There was a time when pet food, especially for dogs, only came in 50 lb. bags of kibble, and much of the weight was rendered meat by-products and grain. Today the food comes in multiple sizes and there are many brands that only used human grade ingredients, as an owner you could eat the food safely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has definitely been a change for the better,â&#x20AC;? says Les Strachan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of meats, vegetables and fruits put into the mix. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way as an industry and there is a lot more choice for owners.â&#x20AC;?
The picky or sensitive pet can now have their needs met. Certain grains can cause skin and coat issues in some pets and today manufacturers have created grain free pet foods which are tasty and nutritious for your animal. Protein content in your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet can be managed
â&#x20AC;&#x153;IT HAS DEFINITELY BEEN A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.â&#x20AC;? with precise measurements, and organic options with beneficial anti-oxidant ingredients contribute to overall pet health. FirstMate Pet Foods is a B.C.-owned and operated pet food company which has been a steady presence on the shelves of Total Pet for years. FirstMate was the first pet food company to manufacture a grain free
diet in 1995. Their Pacific Ocean Fish diet is unique in the industry for its high fish content, while the chicken blueberry formula, provides a high anti-oxidant option for pet owners looking for a palatable healthy option for a picky pet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without Total Pet we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be who we are as a company,â&#x20AC;? says FirstMate sales and marketing manager Matt Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Total Pet has a well educated staff that learns about the food and is able to help customers make good decisions for their pet.â&#x20AC;? Another B.C. success story is Petcurean Pet Nutrition, makers of the Now! and Go! brand foods. Petcurean specializes in all human food grade ingredients, manufactured with a reduced carbon footprint in mind. Petcurean started in 1999 and local support from specialty pet retailers including Total Pet has been the reason for their success. Petcurean Account Manager, Jason Leung, has seen the staff training at Total Pet make a difference in customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
lives, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff at Total Pet really understands what ingredients make a difference and they are confident about making
the right recommendation to customers. That is really appreciated by us and by the people who use our products.â&#x20AC;?
The staff at Total Pet are happy to answer questions about your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutrition and help you find the right brand at the right price.

35 years of exceptional customer service
Natura
Q SPECIAL FEATURE By Bobbi-Sue Menard, CONTRIBUTOR
How good does your customer service have to be to have customers who come back time and again over the span of decades? Pretty darn good if you ask Kelowna resident Joan Cross, who has been a Total Pet customer since it was Chow Town in 1977. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been a loyal customer all those years,â&#x20AC;? says Cross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been treated well by the staff the entire time. The product is good. I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything bad about the place.â&#x20AC;? That is music to the ears of the people who work at Total Pet. Les Strachan, who manages the Kelowna store, has been a part of the team for over 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really get to know your customers over time. Some customers regularly come from as far away as Beaverdell.â&#x20AC;? The team at Total Pet has years of experience helping customers ďŹ nd the right food or product to enhance your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work hard to be able to answer peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions so they can make the right decision,â&#x20AC;? says Strachan. Cross used to own a standard poodle, which lived to the ripe old age of 14 years, in part due to the great care she was able to provide for her dog. Today Cross has two cats and ďŹ sh and buys all

Secondary scores for injured mate Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With fellow ball hawk Hayden Bell recovering in a Calgary hospital, the rest of the Okanagan Sun defensive secondary went to work on Sunday afternoon at the Apple Bowl. Defensive backs Jesse Warawa, Daylon Pommier and Wyatt Smith paid homage to their seriously injured friend and teammate by each returning an interception for a touchdown in a 48-0 win over the visiting Chilliwack Huskers. “He’s a very special guy in our hearts, he’s a real gamer, and we dedicated this game to him,” Pommier said of Bell. “We’re hoping he’s holding tight and doing well, and we’re looking forward to see him wearing orange and brown again. It was nice that the guys could score those touchdowns for him and that we could get the shutout, too.” The 20-year-old Bell is undergoing rehab this week after being involved
in a devastating car accident in his hometown of Calgary on the September long weekend. Bell suffered collapsed lungs, a broken sternum, brain trauma, and had his spleen removed. After many nervous hours, and several days in intensive care in a drug-induced coma, the Sun is happy to report Bell is on the road to recovery. However, it’s unlikely he’ll suit up for the BCFC club again this season. “He’s in a recovery setting now, so that’s good news,” said Sun head coach Peter McCall. “There’s a long way to go, lots of rehabilitation, but we’ve had good indications from his dad that things are improving.” With emotions running high at practice in the week leading up to the game, McCall and the coaching staff was faced with the task of keeping Sun players on an even keel. For the most part, McCall said, his players responded well.
“I know everybody wanted to play well for Hayden and sometimes that can be a bit of a problem. The guys were maybe a little too pumped up at times, but I think overall they represented him well. They played hard for him, and I know he was listening and fist-pumping right along with us. This is a tight-knit group and we said let’s draw on it and let it empower us.” And empowered they were as the Sun (6-1) had little trouble disposing of last-place Chilliwack (07) with a second straight shutout over the Huskers in as many meetings. The Sun defense, which has yielded just seven points in the last three starts, provided half of the team’s six majors with Warawa (51 yards), Pommier (60 yards) and Smith (48 yards) returning picks to the Huskers end zone. Armand Bokitch, Tore Tarcon and Dan Turek scored the other touchdowns, while Steven Shott booted a pair of field goals.
The offense, however, was largely ineffective as it continued to struggle putting together sustained drives. The Sun managed just 244 yards total offense, including a meagre 56 yards passing—not the type of production the coaching staff would prefer to see heading into the final three games of the regular season. “We didn’t execute like we hoped we would on offense,” said McCall. “Again, I think we’re young as far as experience goes. (QB) Bobby (Davis) is maybe putting a little too much pressure on his own shoulders. There’s no question we still have work to do on offense.” The Sun will be on the road for their next two contest—this Sunday in Surrey against the Rams, then Sunday, Sept. 26 in Victoria vs the Rebels. Okanagan’s next home action and final game of the regular season is Sunday, Oct. 3 at 1 p.m. against Victoria. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna Rockets Jason Siebert looks to leave injury in past Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For the better part of a year, Jason Siebert didn’t play a single hockey game. The 16-year-old forward from Abbotsford is in the process of trying to make up for lost time with the Kelowna Rockets. The WHL club’s firstround pick in the 2009 bantam draft, Siebert was felled by a shoulder injury last year while playing in the Challenge Cup, a spring midget tournament on the Lower Mainland. Following major reconstructive surgery in
July of 2009, it was another seven months before Siebert would see game action with the B.C. Major Midget League’s Fraser Valley Bruins. But after 18 games with the Bruins, followed
tire season can prove to be hugely detrimental to their development. But with plenty of raw, untapped talent on his side, the Rockets expect the 6-foot1 1/2 190 pound forward will, given time, become a solid major junior player. “He’s a big kid with excellent, raw skill,” said Rockets director of player personnel Lorne Frey. “He’s a good skater for his size, he’s good on the puck and has an excellent shot. The biggest thing he has to work on is being more consistent, like most young guys. He’s going to take some time to learn that he has to
play to the best of his ability every night.” At 16, the Rockets could opt to send Siebert back for another season of midget where he would see considerably more ice time. But the Rockets believe the proper development of their young prospect hinges on his exposure to a WHL environment. “He hasn’t had a lot of coaching and we think the best and fastest way for him to develop is with us,” said Frey. “In his case, we think he’s going to benefit a lot more from being around
our coaches and he needs to be exposed to our structure. We think it’s paramount for his development to be here.” And while Siebert has been given the green light to spend the 2010-11 campaign in a Rocket uniform, he promises to take nothing for granted. “I came into this camp knowing I was a firstround pick and things would be expected of me,” said Siebert. “Since I was injured, I’ve known that I needed to get back to that prime level, and make sure I was ready. I have to show them I really am I first-round
pick and that I deserve to be here. It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time and I have to make the most of it.” Rocket Shots…The Rockets will close out their exhibition schedule this weekend with a homeand-home set against the Chilliwack Bruins—Friday in Chilliwack, and Saturday, 7 p.m. at Prospera Place…Max Adolph scored twice, including an empty netter as Kelowna defeated Kamloops 4-2 Saturday at Prospera.

by a strict summer workout regimen, and now three weeks into the new season with the Rockets, Siebert says he feels he’s close to returning to his old self. “The big thing I had to get used to was the contact, I was probably a lot more aware of that part of the game and maybe a little bit scared, too,” said Siebert. “But every game I played, the better it got.

Warriors to build on narrow losses The Westside Warriors failed to register a point, but for head coach Darren Yopyk, the signs are all pointing in the right direction. The Warriors came up empty on opening weekend of the BCHL’s regular season, despite out shooting the Penticton Vees in both ends of a home-andhome set. “Obviously we’re not happy about coming up with no points, but overall I thought we had a pretty good weekend,” said Yopyk, starting his second season as Warriors coach and GM. “I thought we controlled the puck for the majority of the time, and
we did a pretty good job defensively. They’re a prolific offensive team, so to give up five goals, one of those was an empty netter, I thought was a pretty good effort.” On Friday at Royal LePage, Westside out shot the Vees 32-28, but Joey Holka’s second period goal stood up as the winner in a 1-0 Penticton win. On Saturday at the South Okanagan Events Centre, the Vees needed an empty net goal to secure a 4-2 win. Grayson Downing notched both Westside goals as the Warriors again won the shots-ongoal battle 38-30. This weekend, the

Kelowna Chiefs host Grizz in home opener The Kelowna Chiefs will be put to the test in their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League home opener. Friday night at Rutland Arena, the Chiefs will take on the defending league champion Revelstoke Grizzlies. “They’re a little bit older than us, so they’ve
got some experience,” Chiefs head coach Ken Andrusiak said of the Grizzlies. “They’re well coached, too, so they’ll be a tough opponent for us.” Kelowna is coming off a split of its first two games of the 2010-11 regular season. Friday night, the Chiefs dropped a 3-2 con-
test to Osoyoos. On Sunday, Kelowna erupted for four third-period goals in a 5-3 win over the Posse in Princeton. “It took us a while to get going, we weren’t doing much offensively,” said Andrusiak. “When we realized we had to skate and get to work, things turned
around. “We didn’t deserve to win Friday, but both third periods were actually pretty good.” Because the Chiefs have had limited practise time, Andrusiak said the first five games of the regular season will be like exhibition games. With a full compliment
of practises this week at Rutland, the coaching staff will look to make up for lost time. “It’s hard to play at this level when you haven’t had much practise time,” he said. “You end up teaching between periods which is tough. We’ll get some things worked out this week.”

The Kelowna Owls can expect a considerably tougher test this weekend when they travel to the Lower Mainland for B.C. high school football exhibition action. KSS will take on the Seaquam Seahawks Saturday afternoon in Delta. Then on Sept. 24, Kelowna will host the perennial powerhouse Terry Fox Ravens. The Owls have yet to be challenged in their first two preseason contests, winning by a combined score of 107-15. “Seaquam has a pretty good program,” said Owls head coach Roy Anderson. “This will be better for us to work on things than the first two games. They’ll be a test for us.” On Saturday in Vernon, the Owls gave up the first touchdown, then ran roughshod over Clarence Fulton 54-8. Quarterback Taylor Loffler had his way with the Maroons, running for two touchdowns, passing for two, catching one, and returning a kick off for yet another. Loffler hit Carter Bilawchuk and Brook Blackmore with TD passes, while backup QB Sam Davis connected with Loffler and Graham Fawcett. Blackmore had the other
major on a 57-yard run. Cole Mosychuk had four tackles and two sacks on defense, while Brett Gordon added five tackles. for KSS.
BOUCHERIE VS COLLEGE HEIGHTS Prince George’s College Heights offered little resistance to a faster, more polished Mount Boucherie team as the Bears rolled to a 53-0 win Saturday at the Apple Bowl. “They’re a big team, but just didn’t match up with us speed-wise,” said Bears coach Mike Godwin. “Once our guys got into the open field, they would over pursue and we’d take it to the house.” Boucherie’s Mikhail Maloff was next to unstoppable with four tochdowns and 137 yards rushing. John Cochrane threw three TD passes—one each to Maloff, Ryan Urlacher and Thomas Lammers—and ran for another. Matt Meerdink scored the other major. On defense, Brandon Hendrix returned an interception 65 yards, while Wes Geisler added five tackles, and Greg McLean had four. Godwin and the Bears can expect some stiffer

RUTLAND VS HUGH BOYD Hansen. With their bus arriving to the field two hours late and no time to warm up, the Rutland Voodoos still managed to hold their own Friday against Richmond’s Hugh Boyd in a 22-7 loss. Jared Dalmolin scored the Voodoos lone major on the game’s opening drive and finished with 94 yards rushing. Dalmolin also had more than 100 yards rushing called back by penalties. Rutland was hit with 15 infractions, including 10 holding calls. Hugh Boyd was penalized just three times. “It could have been a different game if not for all the penalties,” said Rutland coach Shane Sommerfeld. “I thought we outplayed them for a lot of the game. I’m very happy with the the guys came out.” Dalmolin led the defense with eight tackles, while Cole Lindsay had two tackles and an interception. See Football A23

The first taste of preseason action for a young Okanagan Mission Huskies team resulted in a 60-6 loss to John Barsby Saturday in Nanaimo. Taylor Yoshida scored the lone major for OKM. Jamie Desert paced the defense eight tackles, while Devin Spence earned accolades from his head rcoach for a solid two-way effort. The Huskies’ roster features mostly first-year
players, one that coach Jason Farnsworth expects will improve steadily as the season progresses. “It wasn’t really what I was hoping for, but a lot of our guys are still learning,” he said. “We only had about half our guys out for the first part of main camp, so we’re still catching up. It should be a bit of a wakeup call about how hard we’re going to have to work. There were some signs of promise, we have some good athletes, so I’m confident things will look better over the next couple of weeks.” This Friday at 3:30 p.m. at the Apple Bowl the Huskies will take on Langley.

Solid start for UBCO Heat women’s soccer team The UBC Okanagan Heat couldn’t have fathomed a much better start to the BCCAA women’s soccer season. The Heat travelled to the Lower Mainland over the weekend and returned home with all six of a possible six points. On Saturday, UBCO took down Langara 1-0 at Thunderbird Stadium. Emily Braun’s marker at the 65th minute stood up as the game winner, while Sabrina Gasparic earned the shutout in goal. On Sunday in North Vancouver, Alex Kennedy scored goals eight minutes apart in the second
half as the Heat overcame a two-deficit to beat Capilano 3-2. “It was a good opening weekend I am very happy that we captured the six points as we only get to meet these teams once in the regular season,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson. “I am extremely happy with the depth we have this season as players will be challenged to play their best week in week out. We still have a ways to go and are learning some important lessons but I am confident that we will put it all together.” The UBCO women play their home open-

er this Saturday, 1 p.m. against the Quest U Kermodes. Meanwhile, the UBCO men played to a 2-2 draw with the Capilano Blues Sunday to earn a point on opening weekend of the BCCAA season. Goals by Zach Hall and Thomas Simkins gave the Heat a 2-1 lead in the second half, but the Blues battled back for the equal-
izer in the 75th minute. On Saturday, the Langara Falcons dropped the Heat 3-1. By keeping both games close and earning a point, coach Justin Boersma said the Heat program has come a long way in a short time. “We proved to ourselves that this team is good enough to not only compete in this league but to be a threat to win
any game we play,” he said. “Just two years ago we came to this field and lost 13-0, I think these two games this weekend really sent a message to our players that we are ready to play in this league. I expect practices to be very good this week as we prepare for our home opener on Saturday.” The Heat will battle Quest University Saturday at 3 p.m. at UBCO.

of 49 several years before. A few years after her passing, her sister died of breast cancer. She wasin her early 50s. I didn’t know my cousin, her daughter, would be diagnosed in 1999. Obviously, we have a history. What was more shocking was that my husband Brian, who had fallen ill in October 2000, was also diagnosed with a brain tumour and a low-grade leukemia. Just before my diagnosis, Brian had to undergo neurosurgery. The day I learned that I was to undergo a mastectomy, we learned that Brian would need a second neurosurgery. He came through his surgeries perfectly, and I had my mastectomy Dec. 23, just in time to be home for Christmas. Of course, both of us
re-evaluated our lives, as is typical for people faced with life-threatening illnesses, and that is how we ended up in Kelowna, and earlier than we’d planned. We’d always dreamed of retiring here and decided to do so earlier than planned—in 2006. We’re both healthy and very happy here. I’d just like to add that I’m proud to say my high school team—the one that I started back before my diagnosis went on to win the award for top school fundraiser for the Winnipeg area, an award they would go on to capture annually for the years 2000-06. I guess I inspired staff and teachers to look around them and pay attention to how many in their community and families are affected by breast cancer.
The annual Run For The Cure fundraiser in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation takes place in Kelowna on Sunday, Oct. 3, at 10 a.m. in City Park. Two supporters of the Run offer their stories of how breast cancer has touched their lives. CHERYL-LYNN’S STORY:
I have been running in the Run for the Cure since I was 17-years-old. When I was 16, my auntie Norma passed away from breast cancer. I was very close to her and didn’t understand how something so terrible could happen to someone so lovely and caring. I heard about the run
and decided that it was one way I could help to make a difference. In 2001 my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through multiple surgeries and the cancer did go into remission—one out of two ain’t bad, eh? Well then my best friend Heidi, who was 25, was diagnosed.
We were just out of university, starting our careers. This was not something a young person should have to deal with. She has been in remission for four years and staying strong. Now two out of three. Needless to say, every year I run I hope that the statistics of those affected is getting better also. I started being a team captain about four years ago. I enjoy the run, I support what it stands for and I hope it bring awareness to women all over Canada that what we do now, will impact our lives forever. Diet, exercise, attitude, and positivity are key in battling such a beast. I think that together we can bring other 16-year olds in to commit to helping us find a cure now, for when they need it later.

o who the heck am I anyway? With the help of Claire Smith-Burns, Mary Read and Bob Hayes along with the Kelowna and District Genealogical Society I found out about a big part of my past. On Monday evening, I attended the annual meeting of the genealogical society, invited by them to learn more about my family history.

came before me whose genetics contributed to who I am. I basically have four family names to start off with. It was explained during the evening that most people are interested mostly in their surname and that’s a good start but equally important is looking at the female side. For me, that is my paternal grandmother’s family the Trees, and my mothers family the Hendersons and the Pecks. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to hear an old family rumour was more than true; we are in
fact directly connected to royalty namely Henry VII and back to William the Conqueror. Imagine that. As well, we have two well known suffragettes in the family. Lydia Becker in particular is quite famous in the women’s movement and was also a remarkable botanist who had connections with Charles Darwin. There are medical doctors, industrialists, preachers and a very famous landscape artist by the name of William Linton (1791-1876) whose paintings are quite sought after today.

W PEACHLAND
Mixed message to anti-gravel pit rally Dave Preston CONTRIBUTOR
Activists from the Okanagan and Fraser Valleys met in Peachland last Saturday to thank the Central Okanagan’s smallest community for taking a stance against the B.C. Ministry of Energy Mines and Petroleum Resources, even though the town’s mayor says that’s not what the District of Peachland is doing. About 30 people rallied in the lakeshore setting of Heritage Park to commend Peachland and to draw attention to what they say is the ministry’s insistence on controlling where gravel pits are located. “We drove 300 kilometres to say thank you Peachland, thank you Mayor Fielding,” said Walter Neufeld. When Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding heard about the proposed rally, he urged organizers, including Neufeld, to stay away from Peachland. At a council meeting last Tuesday night and in a series of emails to Neufeld obtained by the Capital News, Fielding expressed concern that he did not want the rally to overshadow what the municipality is doing. “I hope you will respect the fact that our local
‘‘

situation needs to be managed locally with carefully measured initiatives and steps,” wrote Fielding.” “To send a message that Peachland is campaigning against the province on these matters is misleading and unhelpful to our cause and the strategy we have adopted. It is also potentially damaging to our court case.” Peachland is currently fighting the operator of a gravel pit on McDougald Road. The operator has a permit from the ministry, but the municipality has stated that, regardless the permit, the operator must comply with local bylaws.
To Neufeld, Peachland is flexing its muscles and requiring local control over gravel operations— something he has been advocating for more than a decade. “Although this rally is a little bit small, it came from a big idea,” said Neufeld. In the past, individual municipalities and areas within them have fought their own fights against gravel pits, according to Neufeld. “Every time they fought a gravel mine, they lost.” Things have changed in the last year, according to Neufeld, who said individual groups are banding together. The ministry has indicated it wants to give communities local control over gravel pits, but Neufeld said there is a big catch. “Their idea is to review the (local) bylaws and add severe restrictions,” he said. Peachland is unique because its bylaw predates the ministry’s new mandate, according to Neufeld, who wants to see a provincial moratorium on issuing new gravel pit permits until extensive public consultation is car-
ried out. “We were able to shut down the first application in the province,” said Lise Guyot, who attended the rally from her home on Okanagan Lake’s northwest side. The Petterson Road gravel pit was a controversial proposal and Guyot told the crowd that organizers were able to convince the ministry to not approve a permit. Guyot’s message was tempered with reality. She said the operator of the proposed pit secured a development permit to build a driveway and so far has removed more than 700 truckloads of aggregate from the site. “Nobody has to remove 700 loads to build a driveway,” said Guyot. Fielding, who said in an email to Neufeld, “I will not meet with the delegation,” did show up.

He met with Neufeld and other organizers briefly before the rally and expressed his thanks for what they were doing. Representatives from the Fintry area, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Peachland and Lake Errock attended the rally. Glen Thompson, who represents the Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley, said his community of 1,200 people is currently fighting a massive gravel pit proposal. Thompson said a gravel pit operator has proposed an operation that would see 30 million tons of aggregate removed over a 100-year-period. The property is in the Agricultural Land Reserve and dozens of trucks per day could end up using the one access road through the valley, said Thompson.

W OUR VIEW
Learning enriches our lives
A
fairly accomplished thinker once said, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” It’s a thought worth pondering, as classrooms re-opened last week to admit the latest generation of scholars. There is a ritual that comes with crisp mornings and earlier evening chills. Backpacks become ubiquitous among even the tiniest students. Slightly older kids will
blow the dust off their thesauruses (and discover the fun of using such words as ubiquitous instead of a rather ordinary term, such as everywhere). Even those longer in the orbit of an educational institution feel the pull of fall, and the inescapable nostalgia for the smell of new textbooks. And as sure as the apples will fall from trees, there will be controversies and conflict over how we administer this massive public industry.
MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212
Among the issues to watch for include the introduction of full-time Kindergarten and the ongoing commentary about the safety of letting kids walk to school. There will be tension over government funding and questions about teacher accountability. Beyond those will be the need to do what’s best for those seeking to improve their life through academics. School is a fundamental part of human existence. Anthropol-
ogists can trace our innate need to learn to well before any historic records were kept. Observation and experimentation have been replaced by trained instruction. But the very best product of education remains. As Albert Einstein reminded us, the benefit of school is more than the details of knowledge gleaned. The ability to learn and keep learning is what truly enriches a life.

But whether the revelations of the rather minor amounts spent to promote the fire department were part of the reason he is no longer fire chief is not known. The city’s human resources manager Charlene Covington said at the time, the reason was private matter and there was no “issue” that lead to Blanleil’s departure. Documents released as part of the information about Blanleil’s $200,000 severance package say there was an
issue. But any information about what that issue was, is blacked out. So, according to the city, Blanleil, quit. He wasn’t fired. As for the spending—which the city’s general manager of corporate sustainability, Paul Macklem, now says he would not have approved— the city says that was not an issue either. So what was? In a statement issued late Monday after seeing himself interviewed on television, Macklem said “it is inaccurate to suggest inappropriate expenditures led, or contributed to, Rene Blanleil’s departure from the position of chief.” So, why did a successful 18-year

Mines Act permitting needs to change Open Letter to Randy Hawes, Minister of State for Mining: My previous letter to you pointed out that community conflicts like the one highlighted by the Peachland case will not be resolved until both the Mines Act and the terminally flawed aggregate pilot project are comprehensively reformed to reflect B.C.’s community sensibilities and input. You were invited, to engage in the reform of the currently flawed permitting process by empowering local governments to control gravel mining in their communities. You were also invited to send a goodwill signal
to Peachland, and other B.C. communities harmed by the current Mines Act permitting process, by recalling the gravel mining permit issued last year by MEMPR. Joe Sequin, the tegional director SCR responded to my letter on your behalf and points out that as a statutory decision maker, the chief mines inspector has authority to issue or deny a permit to carry out work in, on or about a mine. “The decision made will take into account such issues as health and safety, environmental issues, local government and public concerns,” he states. Sequin continues by noting that the MEMPR
was aware of Peachland’s bylaw, as well as the reasons for its opposition to the mine permit. He goes one to explain that a decision-maker can consider any relevant policies or concerns of another agencies and governing bodies, provided the decision-maker does not feel compelled to exercise his or her discretion in accordance with those views or policies. What Sequin spells out here is that whenever the CIM is aware of the local concerns he must approve the permit precisely because they are aware that those legitimate local concerns exist. After MEMPR issues a permit in contravention
of local bylaws and local community sensibilities, we’re informed that enforcement of those local bylaws/sensibilities is offloaded onto the local authority. In other words, the MEMPR process creates permit conflicts like the one in Peachland but it expects the local community bear the cost of fixing the problem. Sequin confirms that Hawes can in fact, “…exercise the powers of the chief inspector pursuant to Section 11 of the Act, …in relation to issuing a permit….”, but he doesn’t have the power to fix the mess it created. I’m not sure that communities are still willing to continue accepting such a
disrespectful process. When the MEMPR exercises such profoundly flawed control over our community affairs it must also shoulder the profound responsibility of making things right when its policies become as badly derailed as they have now become. Your response helps clarify why the Mine Act gravel permitting process is broken and why it needs an urgent fix. We are asking you to seize this moment: will you show Peachland the respect they deserve by rescinding Solid Rock Aggregates permit? Walter Neufeld, Chilliwack
Put fluorescent National parks fees defended flags on kayaks to keep them safe W MAINTENENCE
To the editor: I spent the Labour Day weekend camping and hiking at Rogers Pass, in Glacier National Park. When I returned, I was amazed to see an article in your paper by Judie Steeves complaining about user fees to use national parks. The argument seems to be that we paid for the parks to be created and therefore we don’t need to pay for them to be maintained. Do we use the same approach to our homes? No. We purchase a home and then we continue to incur costs as we maintain it. We need to paint it. We need to maintain the garden. We occasionally replace the roof. It is the same with a national park. I was pleased to buy an annual

permit and to pay for my campsite. I knew that my money was going to maintain the park. My money pays for the upkeep of the washrooms. My money pays for the upkeep of the kitchen shelters. My money pays for the firewood for the stoves in the kitchen shelters. My money pays for the people who provide information on the hiking opportunities. My money also pays for the people who maintain the trails. Someone had rebuilt portions of the Hermit trail and someone had built the wonderful steps at the top of it. Someone had rerouted the trail. Thanks to everyone involved. My money pays for the people who keep the highway open in the win-
ter.
What would the parks be without these services? In Sunday’s editon of the Capital News, I sawa letter to the editor supporting Steeves’ view. The letter concluded “I would hope they will be allowed to use the toilets without having to look over their shoulders and watch for ticket-writing forest rangers.” Who is paying for the new toilets? Who is paying for cleaning of them? Who is paying for their emptying? Is it unreasonable to expect a small contribution from the users? In conclusion, I cannot see why anyone should be upset about paying fees to use the national parks. Rick Gee, Kelowna
W POLICE
Toy guns are just that, toys To the editor: The is about the story concerning a youth seen in a front yard with toy guns that resulted in eight police cars responding to a 911 call. Instead of calling it a mistake, the police confiscated the two toy guns and had them destroyed. I grew up in Port Alberni during the 1940s. As kids, we all had toy guns and had daily “gun battles” on the streets or in nearby wooded areas. We also had slingshots and sometimes the police would tell us to hide our slingshots when we went by certain people’s homes because that person always complained to the police. I got my first BB gun when I was
eight-years-old. After 1945, Daisy Air Rifle BB guns were the big thing. There were probably six or seven Daisy owners in my group of friends. And again, the police would occasionally tell us to keep the guns out of sight when walking down the street. To the best of my memory, never were our slingshots or BB guns ever confiscated. And we did no damage and never hurt anyone. I don’t know what’s wrong with my country now or exactly when or what happened. But it’s so sad to see innocent toys confiscated from innocent youths. James Bradley, Kelowna
To the editor: In regard to the issue of boats and kayaks on a collision course on the lake, . I want to state that as a responsible boater, I have had a few close calls with kayaks. They ride very low in the water and it is very difficult to see them, especially coming in late in the afternoon when the sun is in your eyes. I feel the simplest solu-
tion to protect everyone`s interest would be for kayaks to have a visible fluorescent flag attached, like street scooters have, say three to four feet high. I feel this would be a safe alternative and would not cost kayakers a lot of money. I believe in the safety of all vessels on the lake.

Gordon Drive Bridge deck concrete pour takes two days to complete Gordon Drive Bridge construction is approaching its next milestone with the pouring of concrete for the main deck, which was
expected to start Monday, weather permitting. The concrete pour may take up to two days to complete.
Area residents may experience noise from equipment and trucks during this phase of the project.
The concrete curing time on the bridge deck and related works will take a minimum of two weeks.
Final paving, lane markings and median work will remain for completion. Gordon Drive Bridge
and four-laning is scheduled to re-open, weather permitting, in early October. The $6 million is fund-
ed in part by the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. The City of Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution on this project is $2 million.

t is a nice rainy day as I write this column, reminding me that as school is back in session, most people will begin to spend most of their time indoors in the weeks ahead. And with that, acute illnesses will start cropping up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that long ago that children routinely had their tonsels removed, taken out whether it was needed or not. One of my patients recently who told me that he and his brother both had their tonsils taken out right on the kitchen table, even though it was their sister who had the sore throat. The doctor just did not want to make the long trip back to their farm to take
FINDING REMEDIES
John Sherman the two brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tonsils out if it became required in the future. Tonsillectomies are not as common today, as more often antibiotics are the first line of defense against any bacteria that invades our throat. The problem is most sore throats are caused by viruses and usually go away on their own, so antibiotic are useless against them. Only small numbers of diagnosed sore throats
are the result of strep throat, which is of bacterial origin. There are a number of homeopathic remedies that seem to work quite well against any type of sore throat, whether it be viral or bacterial. The important factor about taking homeopathic remedies is to match the symptoms to the remedy. I will list a few remedies that are indicated in most of the common sore throats. If at any time you are unsure, you should consult your medical practitioner or homeopath. People will often develop sore throats during this time of the year. In most cases, nothing is needed because they get better on their own.

Here are a few remedies that I recommend to have on hand. Aconite is a useful homeopathic remedy to have on hand. It is useful when sore throats come on suddenly especially after exposure to cold dry wind. There can be a high fever and a thirst for cold drinks. Belladonna is also a good remedy to consider especially if the throat pain is right sided and very intense. If there is a fever involved, it is usually intense as well and the face is usually quite flushed. Ferrum phosphoricum is a good remedy to consider when there is a lack of symptoms, but you can feel that there is definitely something coming on. Apis is a classic sore throat remedy, the pain is usually a stinging pain and the throat is very swollen. Usually, the sore throat is made better by cold drinks and worse by warm drinks. Hepar Sulphuris is a good remedy that sometimes can be mistaken for Apis, however, it is better with warm drinks when the patient is usually feeling the chills. In most cases, a 12CH potency will work and you can give it every one to four hours depending on severity. If a 12CH works but you suffer a relapse soon after, try a 30CH potency and that will probably last much longer, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good to start with the lower potency first. There are many other remedies that could be indicated; these are just a few of the common ones. This subject matter is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to be relied upon as medical advice. John G. Sherman is a professional classical homeopath in Kelowna.

Golfers raise $72,000 in support of brain injury prevention Forty-seven golfers collectively completed more than 4,700 holes in one day at the annual Pihl Law Corporation Golf marathon Sept. 10 at The Bear golf course, in support of BrainTrust Canada. A total of $72,000 was raised, with all proceeds going to support brain injury education and prevention programs in the Okanagan. The top three fundraising golfersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Brad Dahl, Mike Ertel and Grahame Sandilandsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;received prizes that included a helicopter ride courtesy of Valhalla Helicopters, print from local artist Kenna Graff and silver Haida jewelry set from Jerry Hlady. Grand prizes awarded also included a trip to anywhere that WestJet flies, a Nkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Mip golf/accommodations/dinner package and golf getaway to Furry Creek and Nicklaus North Golf Course in Whistler, courtesy of The Okanagan Golf Club and The Crystal Lodge at Whistler.

When Angela looks at her beautiful five-year-old twin daughters, it all seems so hard to believe that at age 19, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Angela put her young life on hold for a year, even postponing her wedding, to undergo chemotherapy, endless doctors’ appointments, countless needle pokes and radiation therapy. She feels blessed to be born in an era that has the technology and funding to treat and cure her cancer. But most of all, she is grateful for the quality of care available to her in British Columbia, at the BC Cancer Agency, and the funding for breakthrough research made possible by the BC Cancer Foundation.

W IN THE WORKPLACE
Sometimes an apology is sufficient to head off lawsuit C olumns like this one, which highlight large awards of damages in employment cases, might leave the impression that money is the only way to solve workplace disputes. Now and then, a decision comes along which demonstrates that an oldfashioned apology may be sufficient. According to a recent B.C. Supreme Court decision, Ismaeil Karbalaeiali worked as a tour bus driver and tour coordinator for the Vancouver Trolley Company. He was a valued employee and his relationship with his employer was good although he did have ongoing interperson-
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson al problems with its operations manager. In early 2008, Karbalaeiali saw a picture on the employees’ “humour board” which depicted a person’s buttock with a satellite map of the world imposed upon it. The Middle East was situated generally in the area of the anus and the caption read, “No wonder the Middle East is in deep shit.”
Karbalaeiali is an immigrant from Iran and was the only employee at this workplace from the Middle East. He found the picture to be very offensive and confronted the operations manager about it. He claimed the operations manager was reluctant to take the picture down. Karbalaeiali learned that the operations manager had posted the picture. He claimed that the picture had remained posted on the humour board for over three weeks. Karbalaeiali filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal
pursuant to the Human Rights Code. The tribunal initially accepted his complaint for adjudication on the prohibited ground of “place of origin”. The employer later applied to have Karbalaeiali’s complaint dismissed on the ground that proceeding with the complaint would not further the purposes of the Human Rights Code. The employer’s evidence (which the tribunal appeared to accept) was that, when Karbalaeiali expressed that he found the picture offensive, it was removed and an apology was given by the operations manager. The operations man-
ager stated that it had not occurred to her that it was offensive, that she did not intend it as a personal attack or in ridicule of Karbalaeiali’s place of origin, and that she had personally written him a sincere letter of apology. When the tribunal reviewed the evidence, it concluded that, “In response to Mr. Karbalaeiali’s complaint that he found a “joke”…very offensive, the respondents removed the picture, the company president met with Mr. Karbalaeiali to address his concerns, and the perpetrator immediately and sincerely apologized.” The tribunal went on to state that, “The purpos-
es of the code are remedial, not punitive…” and “…the respondents’ response has been appropriate and adequate to the allegation of discrimination raised in this complaint. “In these circumstances, proceeding to a hearing has little to offer in terms of achieving the purposes of the Code …”. The tribunal dismissed Karbalaeiali’s complaint. Recently, in response to Karbalaeiali’s application for judicial review, B.C.’s Supreme Court upheld that result. The key to this outcome was, without a doubt, the employer’s swift action to remove the offensive item and to provide a sincere apology to
the employee for its impact upon him. It goes to show that there can be a lot of value in owning up to the occurrence of inappropriate workplace behaviour and taking early steps to address its impact on the offended employee.

Union seeking answers to B.C. Assessment office closures Nearly a year after the plan was first announced, B.C. Assessment has yet to answer key questions regarding the closure of its offices in Penticton and Vernon, effective this month, which has forced 20 staff to relocate to Kelowna while inconveniencing the public, says the
Q
A
Canadian Union of Public Employees. “Since we first learned of the closures, we have been seeking information from the employer on many issues of relevance both to our members and the public,” says CUPE 1767 president Kevin McPhail.
“But B.C. Assessment has stonewalled us at every turn—failing to provide any information on cost savings to the public, and overstating its commitment to our members in interviews with the media and statements to politicians. “For example, they say
they’re offering flexibility but have yet to explore flexible work options such as a compressed work week or telework for all transferred employees.” In July, B.C. Assessment and CUPE 1767 reached a two-year agreement that included no wage increases.
“The office closures were never an issue in bargaining,” said McPhail. “We bargained in good faith on the understanding that our concerns around the closures would be addressed. To date, this has not happened.” McPhail noted that the employer has said it would
explore information counters in Vernon and Penticton as a result of efforts by the union to raise the profile of the closure issue. “That is misleading. In fact, this idea was floated in the media by the employer just two weeks after the closure announcement,” said McPhail.
“As with the decision to close, there was no consultation with the union on this issue.” CUPE 1767 has a pending FOI request for documents pertaining to the contract schedules and lease information about the Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon offices.

W ENTREPRENEURS
Business world feels the wave of entrepreneurial partnerships
L
ast year, I talked about a new community-based partnership between the Scotiabank, Central Okanagan and the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. With some exciting innovative networks on the near horizon, I began this weekend to ponder the new paradigm for progressive change that is upon us in the Okanagan—entrepreneurial partnerships as a prelude to a new atmosphere for an entrepreneurial culture. Yes, it has been talked about, perceived its existence, and even shouted from the rafters that it is evident, but somehow we just haven’t quite reached that pinnacle of achievement to celebrate that we made it—until now. Chalk it up to the roller coaster ride we are experiencing in our Canadian and global economy, or perhaps our society is finally warming to this realization— if we believe we are an trepreneurial landscape then, let’s celebrate that recognition with action. Actions that let each other, no matter if we are in business or not, emrbrace the notion that entrepreneurship is a mantra for our socio-economic future, and that we can nurture its development and growth, or not. Let’s take a look at some thought in this regard. Partnerships often
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young chart unknown territory. Different forms of organizations with different internal structures, mandates, purposes, values and decision-making procedures may meet in a common space, often for the first time. When people of different backgrounds decide to work in partnership towards a shared objective, they need to identify and accept the necessary development of their communication skills in order to progress with attainment of the common goals. I would like to describe a view, from a conceptual modelling aspect, that points to the main phases of development in multi-stakeholder partnerships. In the first phase (startup if you like), it is important to understand thoroughly the context for success, to build a group of supporting, relevant organizations and to explore and exchange with potential partners, the purpose and vision without structure. Once the new partners’ commitment is clear, it is crucial to move into the second phase
(building the partnership) through a more formalized dialogue, to clarify roles and structures and lay down agreements in project plans and memoranda of understanding. Sound familiar. I’ll bet it is to many of you. In the third phase (growing sustainably), attention will need to be given to a smooth implementation and the celebration of success. At this point, perhaps it is important to establish some monitoring systems with transparency and solid communication to help the partnership grow towards stability. And, lastly, in the fourth phase (scale-up and replication), the key to success is to manage the transition from the initial model of partnership towards a larger more substantial entity. This sometimes requires new partners, governance structures or even a change of management of the process. But, ultimately the entrepreneurial partnership creation can achieve untold community and regional gains, both personal and organizational. I am excited by what I am witnessing and experiencing in my involvement with the world of entrepreneurship in our region. The recent collaboration between OSTEC and ORIC is the beginning of a new horizon the entrepreneurs society and other related organizations is
very exciting. The cry to work together instead of apart is being heard far and wide and our educational institutions are coming alive to the drum call for a new realization for entrepreneurship education and training that is wonderful and welcoming. Our youth are listening to the virtues of selfemployment and, maybe, just maybe, our levels of government will answer that call with new innovative policies and strategies that will hasten to move us forward in our socioeconomic future. Our immigrants, seniors and minorities are challenging us to embrace “what we can become” with a spirit of entrepreneurship that may be unmatched in our recent history. And, at the very root of it all, this new avenue of change is the element of entrepreneurial partnerships. Partnerships that will bring us together to “look at the world differently and think as one.” I have every confidence in the people here who live in the best place on earth. Let’s make this partnership the best that we can for our future and for our children .

How we can influence conflict in the workplace Conflict management is a popular topic. Perhaps you’ve attended a workshop on how to handle it better. Hopefully you learned something new, but I suspect it didn’t give you a magic formula for diffusing tension and resolving every disagreement. The reality is that conflict—actual or perceived —is a complicated, pervasive element whenever we interact with other people. Why wouldn’t it be? We’re all very different. We look at the world in our own unique way, we have our own way of doing things, and we experience emotional reactions to situations in dif-

For many people the first schooling they received in how conflict is handled happened at home when they were young. Watching how our parents or other key
adults in our lives played out their disagreements would have left a deep impression on us. Now, I’m not a psychologist, obviously, but it just makes sense that when we’re immature and inexperienced, we watch others—usually adults— and mimic their response behaviour to different stimuli. There are two reasons why I raise this point. One is to emphasize the value of self awareness by having you reflect on how you perceive conflict in the first place and then noticing your typical response to it. The second reason is to encourage you to consider who might be

respond before things reach a crisis point. In other words, we need to stay alert to feelings of discomfort that may arise when we’re in disagreement with others. Left unheeded, that discomfort may lead to an unpleasant incident with a predictable result—misunderstanding and tension. Unresolved, the situation may then escalate to a point of crisis/con-
assertively may actually be appreciated by the other party. I haven’t met a person yet who is completely at ease with confrontation.

How we choose to respond to conflict has a huge impact on outcomes so self awareness and self control are critical. Conflict is not a onesided event. We each need to take ownership of our own part in it when it happens. If your first reaction is to go out swinging, consider pausing first and taking a few breaths to calm down.

It’s highly likely that you are a role model for someone else now and while that may not be a voluntary role it is an important one to acknowledge. When we talk about conflict, it usually brings to mind a fight or flight type of response which is a natural defense mode. This is a physical reaction that results from the rush of adrenaline that is activated by our brains when we perceive danger.

Identifying the four pillars of tax-efficient investing T
ax efficient investing is realizing the effect of the after-tax value of an investment. This means how much money you keep in your rpocket (net value) after the tax is paid on the investment. An investment client and their certified financial planner should match the client’s risk profile to the type of short or long term investment chosen. Non registered accounts are not tax sheltered, and this article relates to non registered investing. The CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) takes a percentage of your investment income based on the tax payable on interest income, dividend income and capital gains income. There are four basic tax-efficient strategies to increase your net income from your investments, and to decrease the amount annually paid to CRA. Let’s start with tax-efficient growth over a lifetime of investing. Corporate class mutual funds minimize taxes, and promote tax-efficient growth by grouping
FISCAL FITNESS
Doreen Smith a family of funds within a single mutual fund corporation. Available capital losses are used within the group to offset capital gains. Expenses offset income and this increases the compounding growth of the investment. After the interest and foreign income are offset, the balance of expenses can be applied against capital gains, and possibly Canadian dividends, to help minimize the distributions. Selling mutual funds or stocks are a taxable event. Corporate class funds allow you to switch within this family group without triggering taxable dispositions. Portfolios need to be rebalanced in response to changing market conditions. Switches with-
in the corporation are not deemed to be taxable events, and unrealized gains are left inside the account to continue to grow. Return of capital investing allows for tax-efficient cash flow to be paid to the client. This is done by reducing the adjusted cost base (ACB) of the investment by the amount of return of capital (ROC) distributed instead of redeeming units. ROC is considered after-tax so there is no tax liability on this cash flow. The return of capital can continue for many years until the ACB is reduced to zero, at which time additional withdrawals will be treated as capital gains. There is still the opportunity for tax efficiency, because capital gains are only subject to the 50 per cent inclusion rate. Tax efficiency should be part of an estate planning strategy. This is planning for spousal, intergenerational and charitable transfers of wealth in a tax-efficient manner. New federal charitable gifting rules allow investors to eliminate capital gains and receive tax
credits for in-kind donations of publicly traded securities, including mutual funds, to registered charities and foundations. An estate planning strategy is to place investments within insurance type of investment products, called segregated funds and insurance type of GICs. Under the insurance contract, you name a beneficiary, allowing the funds to be paid to the beneficiary outside of the will and probate. An insurance estate planning strategy eliminates costly probate fees and professional fees. It also eliminates the long provincial probate process that takes an average of 18 months to complete. Tax efficient investing can be tailored to a wide range of scenarios over a long period of time. There are many different stages of an investor’s lifecycle, from the accumulation time period, to the cash-flow period when income is returned to the investor, and then to the estate planning stage of life. Tax efficient wealth strategies are not only for

Telus donates $20,000 to promising OK engineering tech students For the fourth year in a row Telus has awarded $5,000 to three of Okanagan College’s top performing network and telecommunications engineering technology (NTEn) students . The donations come through the Jordy Koenig Telus Scholarship program, bringing Telus’ total contribution to Okanagan College students to $20,000. Scholarships were presented last Wednesday in front of the largest classes of first and second year NTEn programs in Okanagan College’s history. Troy Berg was awarded $2,500, Jeffrey Nishi
earned $1,500 and Colin MacDonald accepted the award for $1,000. The scholarship was developed in 2007 to support students who successfully complete the first year of the program on a full-time basis and enter the second and final year of NTEn. Named after one of Telus’ own employees, Jordy Koenig, the scholarship is aimed at supporting students and more closely connecting students to employers, while helping to bridge the gap between education and industry. Koenig, a communications and networking technologist with 30
years of service at Telus, took a personal interest in students in the college’s NTEn program in early 2003 and has since contributed countless hours of his time working with students over the past years. Driven by the belief that industry and training should be closely linked, Koenig spearheaded an initiative that brought NTEn students to the Telus facility in Kelowna to gain a practical perspective on their future industry. The success of the partnership resulted in Jordy’s appointment to the college’s program advisory council, a position
he has held since 2004. Taking an interest in students enrolled in NTEn has been a valuable investment for Telus. Since they began offering the scholarship in 2007, they have hired five out of the 12 scholarship winners. In total, Telus currently employs 22 graduates of Okanagan College’s NTEn program. “In offering the Jordy Koenig Telus Scholarship, we have been able to achieve two important goals,” explained Mitch Galloway, Telus director of network assurance for the B.C. Interior and Vancouver Island.
CONTRIBUTED
AT THE Okanagan College Jordy Koenig Telus Scholarship award ceremony were (from left) NTEn chairman Phil Ashman, scholarship recipients Colin MacDonald, Jeffrey Nishi, Troy Berg, Jordy Koenig and Mitch Galloway. “We are helping to ensure the existence of a solid pool of highly skilled
potential employees for Telus and we’ve been able to recognize and honour
the contributions of one of our most dedicated and valued employees.”
Motorcycle winterization workshop hosted by Kelowna safety council The Kelowna and District Safety Council’s motorcycle winterization course has become a sta-
ple of the fall training season at KDSC. Sponsored and hosted by Kelowna Yamaha, this
hands-on workshop will show riders how to prepare their bikes for winter storage.
“We’ll show riders how to care for their bikes this fall, so that they’ll be ready to ride as soon as the weather clears next year,” said Terry Poirier, owner of Kelowna Yamaha. “If you know the proper techniques for winterizing your bike now, you can prevent it from spending valuable spring riding time in the shop.” Topics covered will
include what to do with your motorcycle’s battery, oil changes, gas, tires, air filters, and more. Students will also learn what jobs are best left to the professionals. This course will be hosted by one of Poirier’s licensed mechanics on Sunday, Sept. 26, from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Kelowna and District Safety Council facility, 395 Hart-
man Road in Rutland. Detailed hand-outs that can be used for many years to come will be given to the students, and coffee and donuts will be served. “In the past, we’ve held the winterization courses in late October,” added Tania Meyer, general manager of the Kelowna and District Safety Council. “But we found that
many riders had already taken the insurance off their bikes by that time. “An important part of these classes is having the students bring their bikes to the class so that they can ask professional mechanics about the ins and outs of their particular bikes.” Space is limited. Register now by calling KDSC at 250-765-3163.

W SENIORS
The need to understand legal documentation is important
S
eniors should have their legal documents in place prior to the need to require them. The documents need to be written while they have the mental capacity to understand and appreciate their financial and health situation, the trustworthiness of the proposed adult or company to be legally appointed, what the documents mean, when they take effect and when they are revoked. The documents should be discussed with a lawyer as they must be written to meet the specif-
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny ic needs of each senior. A power of attorney (POA) document authorizes seniors to appoint another adult or company to be legally appointed to act on behalf of the seniors to deal with their property or financial affairs. A POA is authorized under British Columbia’s
Power of Attorney Act and its authority is normally restricted to British Columbia. A POA can authorize decisions concerning property and financial matters. It can’t authorize decisions concerning personal and health care matters. A POA is normally effective on the date it is signed, unless it is specified to become effective at a future date. It will end or expire on specific dates or for specific reasons. The senior can also revoke a Power of Attorney. If the POA is needed
after the senior becomes mentally incapable, it must specifically provide that it survives mental infirmity. This is known as an enduring power of attorney” and is the most commonly used tool to plan for incapacity. If a senior does not have the capacity to make a power of attorney, then a standard representation agreement or a committeeship should be considered. The Representative Agreement Act allows a senior who has the mental capacity to do so, to appoint a representa-
tive to have authority to deal with or make decisions concerning the senior’s personal and health care, property and financial affairs according to the terms of a written representation agreement. A representative agreement can become effective on the date the Agreement is signed, or on a future date specified in the agreement. It will expire on the death of the senior or upon termination of the Agreement by the senior in accordance with the Act. When seniors becomes incapable of man-
aging their own financial affairs, or personal care or both, another adult called the committee can be appointed under the Patients Property Act to supervise and manage the senior’s finances or person or both. Seniors can sign a nomination of committee form indicating their choice of committee. The committee may be removed or replaced by court order. A committeeship also ends upon the death of the senior. The anxiety of seniors should be eased by having legal documents properly written and witnessed.
The documents should be updated on a regular basis to ensure that any changes required are made and that the choices remain those of the senior. (A note of thanks to Roy Sommery, from Doak Shirreff Lawyers, for his contribution of information to my column this week.)

History without the boring stuff Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
A giant beaver and a French dude who threatens to separate from his English buddy over his version of Canadian history. It may not sound quite like the high school textbook, but at the very least Ryan Gladstone promises it will be entertaining—and irreverent. One cannot forget irreverent. “I think that’s the word every review of The Canada Show always has,” says Gladstone as he tries to remember what he says during interviews for the show, now nearing 10 years running. A very successful playwright/thespian/comedian touring his company Monster Theatre from the Chemainus theatre to the Olympic stage this past year, Gladstone has become a staple of Western Canada’s arts scene. And The Canada Show was one of Monster’s first success stories. From the giant beaver to an appearance by Bob and Doug McKenzie and a song from Leonard Cohen, there really isn’t that much this “fast paced super fun comedy” misses from a pop cultural point of view. But Gladstone says he, and whomever he is co-writing with at the time, put in hours and hours of research into all of their shows as well; so one can probably justify keeping the kids out on a school night for in the name of a solid education. “It’s tongue and cheek. History without the boring stuff,” he says, adding “most people are pretty convinced Canadian history is dull and boring and nothing interesting ever happens.” Promising puppets and a redneck to go along with the feisty separatist
Frenchman, the show is different for every run as Gladstone likes to adapt the material to suit the audience. Spicing up our official versions of reality is a bit of a mission for the Monster theatrical team, which bills itself as “repackaging history and mythology for today’s audiences.” Unfortunately, on the day of this particular interview, Gladstone’s mind is still repacking the mind of one of the world’s great thinkers making it a little difficult to dust off the details on his ode to the maple leaf. He is currently working on a run of Freud vs His Ego, which plays with an extremely strange version of Sigmund Freud’s suicide—the one which occurred inside his head as he lay dying. Now whether Freud vs. His Ego is irreverent, hilarious or downright rude will not be for audiences in Kelowna to judge this time around, although one expects the company will likely be through with the show, their latest, at some point for the attention the Rotary Centre for the Arts has already given them. Last winter’s The Shakespeare Show proved a smash success with audiences when Gladstone hit town early January. The Shakespeare tour stop was one of the last Gladstone did before resurrecting The Canada Show to perform at the Olympics where the company gave an international audience a very unique view of the land of inukshuks and toasty February afternoons. The Canada Show plays the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 421 Cawston Ave., Sept. 23 to 25; tickets available through Select Your Tickets (www.selectyourtickets.com), $30 adult, $10 student, $25 book of four. Or call the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 250-717-5304.

W CD REVIEWS
Cohen lightens up on his bleak, brooding music style SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell LEONARD COHEN: SONGS FROM THE ROAD (COLUMBIA)
There is no shortage of concert albums from Leonard Cohen as he has released a half dozen of them in his storied career. However, I am nearly certain that most long standing Cohen fans will claim Songs From The Road is his best live album to date. The 76-year-old sounds positively exhilarated during the many songs on this CD and 93 minute DVD set that were taken from his 2008-09 world tours that included a staggering 195 gigs (if that wasn’t a typo error in the liner notes).
The dozen tracks here include classics such as Bird On A Wire, Chelsea Hotel, Famous Blue Raincoat, Closing Time, Suzanne and Hallelujah. That latter title seems to have evolved into Cohen’s new signature song away from his previous hit Suzanne, as a result of more recent hit covers by Jeff Buckley and k.d. lang. Anyway, Cohen sounds less the parched roue on these songs that at times come off as breezy compared to his past penchant for brooding, bleak and sometimes pessimistic deliveries. At one point during Closing Time, Cohen un-
characteristically blurts out ‘here we go” to spur on the audience as well as his superb backing band who are given plenty of opportunities for excellent solos. Songs From The Road sort of finds Cohen in an odd life reversal—dark and dour in his youth and seemingly very happy in his dotage. The music is the better for it. B+
FANTASIA: BACK TO ME (J.RECORDS/SONY)
After winning American Idol back in 2004 and scoring a No.1 smash with I Believe from her debut, Fantasia has had a declining career trajectory. Her self-titled second album didn’t fare well and only had a minor hit
and this third album, four years in the making, isn’t exactly catching on fire. If controversy can sometimes offer a bit of a career boost then Fantasia has missed the boat again. Her half-hearted recent suicide attempt as the result of an alleged love triangle didn’t really push Fantasia’s career forward either. Back To Me is supposed to be Fantasia’s return to her R&B, old school roots. It isn’t a bad album and deserves a bigger audience. There is some strong
material with the beguiling piano ballad I’m Doing Me, the perky club styled Who’s Been Loving You and the old skool Collard Greens And Cornbread that cleverly samples Marvin Gaye. My fave track is the Bob Marley inspired lover’s rock Teach Me. But after three weeks, Fantasia has yet to connect with radio or significant chart sales. B-

Only one skein makes this gorgeous breathtaking multicoloured shawl. You can tie it at the neck-line, fasten it with a wooden shawl pin or wear as shown. The yarn used is a hand dyed Pure Silk Lace yarn, 730 meters, using 3.25 mm needles in garter stitch. Shawls are an essential part of the fashion picture and can be worn everywhere - while shopping, or at church, at work, in restaurants, or simply evening strolling. This shawl would enhance any top or outfit you desire to wear, even jeans.

Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
BreakOut West lineup features number of local artists As you may already know, the lineup for the BreakOut West festival was announced on Sept. 8 during a press conference at the Streaming Café, one of the participating venues in the festival. The four-day festival, conference and awards show will run from Oct. 21 to 24 and the festival will run from the Thursday night through to Saturday night. Nine venues will make up the festival including Avenue, Gotchas, Habitat, Cush, The Streaming Café, Doc Willoughby’s, Memphis Blues, O’Flannigans and the Keg. One of the best things about the festival is that a wristband for the three days of entertainment around town is only $20. This wristband will get you in to every venue that is taking part in the BreakOut West festival and, let me ask you, when was the last time that you had the chance to see more than 50 bands
for only $20? Wristbands will be available for purchase at www.selectyourtickets.com, Mosaic Books and Leo’s Video. Wristbands can also be purchased at the door of any of the festival venues during the course of the weekend. The lineup for this year’s festival is going to be bringing some great names to Kelowna such as Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, You Say Party!, Wassabi Collective, The Zolas and many more. One of the great things about Kelowna hosting BreakOut West 2010 is that so many of our talented local artists get to share the spotlight (and the stage) with some hard-hitting names in the Western Canadian music industry. Local acts include Grapes of Wrath, Kindgom Cloud, Ryan Donn, Treelines, We Are the City and Greg Sczebel. For the full festival lineup please visit www. breakoutwest.ca/festival. More exciting news is that local boys We Are the City have been confirmed to play at the Western Canadian Music
The organizers of
Awards Ceremony to take place at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 24. Other entertainers taking part will include Doc Walker & Shane Yellowbird, Tambura Rasa and You Say Party! The awards ceremony will be co-hosted by CBC Radio 3’s Grant Lawrence and actress Micheline Marchildon. For the first time in the award’s eight year history, the ceremonies will be broadcast in English on CBC Television and in French on Radio Canada. Other notable announcements are that
Tegan and Sara will receive the 2010 International Achievement Award while Chilliwack and Daniel Lavoie will each receive this year’s Hall Of Fame Award that same evening. I’ll be bringing you more exciting BreakOut West news each week as Oct. 21 quickly approaches. For more info about BreakOut West please visit www.breakoutwest. ca or for up to date local info visit www.breakoutwestkelowna.com. Pyper Geddes is the assistant manger at Habitat in downtown Kelowna.

th
dents to help us increase the city’s urban tree canopy,” said City of Kelowna parks services manager Ian Wilson. “Studies show that increasing our tree cover to 25 per cent will produce pretty significant energy savings and other great benefits. “The research also points out that we don’t have much species diversity and that our canopy is only about 13 per cent.” The city plants between 600 and 1,400 trees every year, but wants to expand that number by involving residents who buy trees and plant them in their neighbourhoods. This year’s NeighbourWoods program has already resulted in an additional 450 trees being planted by residents. The goal of the fall program is to have that number reach 1,000 for the year, which means that 550 trees will be available for residents to purchase this time around. The trees available to residents for 2010 have been handpicked from the city’s suggested trees list. Final choices include the Autumn Spire Maple, Dropmore Linden, Heritage Oak, Japanese Lilac, Sunburst Locust and Vanderwolf Pine. Each tree is valued at more than $100, but will be offered to residents for only $30, including taxes. Interested residents must apply by Monday, Sept. 27. Applications to the NeighbourWoods program are available under “NeighbourWoods” at kelowna.ca/environment or can be picked up at City Hall and will be processed on a first-come-first-serve basis. NeighbourWoods trees will be available for pick up on Thursday, Oct. 7. and Saturday, Oct. 9, in honour of 350.org’s Global Work Party, “A Day to Celebrate Climate Solutions.” For more information and to apply for a tree, go to NeighbourWoods at kelowna.ca/environment.
