Island cops probe in-custody death In-custody death requires outside look Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A third Vancouver Island police officer was on his way to Kelowna yesterday afternoon as the Central Saanich Police Department probes the death of a man who was in Kelowna RCMP custody on Sunday afternoon. Around 2 p.m., police officers and paramedics were called to an entertainment activity centre on Stremel Road to deal with a distressed man. “Witnesses report that the male, wearing only his underwear, was showing obvious signs of distress, screaming, jumping and smashing video games,” said Sgt. Ann Morrison. “Witnesses attempted to calm the man down with negative results. They were very concerned and called for help.” When police arrived, they arrested the 30-yearold Kelowna man for mischief. They also noted he was showing signs of medical distress, including foaming at the mouth and complaining of shortness of breath, said Morrison, and he was taken to Kelowna General Hospital by ambulance. He died about an hour later, she said.
The name of the victim had not been released at press deadline and it is not yet known what caused his death. However, because he was in police custody at the time of his death, the matter must be reviewed by an external police agency with independent officer review, said Morrison. The Central Saanich police department was called in to the investigation on Monday and their deputy chief, Clayton Pecknold, said two of their officers began their investigation on Tuesday. A third officer was on his way to Kelowna Tuesday afternoon, he added. Pecknold was awaiting a briefing from officers after press deadline last night and could not release any other details about the investigation. In addition to the police investigation, the B.C. Coroner’s Service will be looking into the cause of the man’s death and it is likely in this case that a coroner’s inquest could be held. Inquests are fact-finding missions where the circumstances surrounding the death are probed. Jurors who hear evidence at an inquest can also come up with recommendations that could potentially prevent a similar death in the future. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

Earlier this month, a 30-year-old man was found in the lake and last month, 25-year-old Cole Barr fell off a pontoon boat as it headed back to the Eldorado boat launch. On July 9, a toddler
was found, unconscious, in the waters of Okanagan Lake near Fintry Delta and in March, the boat of recreational fisherman James Cormier was found unattended near Rattlesnake Island. In this latest death, police are asking anyone with information about the events leading up to the drowning to call them at 250-762-3300.

Officer charged with assault Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A 13-year veteran of the RCMP is expected to appear in court next month—not as a witness, but rather as a person accused of a crime. On Monday, RCMP announced that Const. Chris Brinnen, 39, had been charged with assault in relation to an incident that happened during bar flush last February. “On Feb. 15, 2010, an individual alleged he had been assaulted by a police officer the previous evening around bar closing time near a nightclub on Leon Avenue,” said Corp.
Chris Brinnen Annie Linteau. Linteau said the victim, identified in court records as Kyle Nelson, suffered “minor” injuries. As a result of the complaint he made six months ago, Linteau said, a Criminal Code and an internal
code of conduct investigation were initiated. Police later forwarded the results of the criminal investigation to Crown counsel, who laid a charge of assault Friday against Brinnen, who has worked in Kelowna for approximately four years. The internal investigation is ongoing, and Linteau says it will not likely conclude until after the criminal proceedings are over. Brinnen remains on duty, said Linteau. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Kelowna on Sept. 13. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

Assault outside nightclub sends Albertan man to KGH An Edmonton man remained in hospital Tuesday after being punched following an altercation outside a Kelowna nightclub on the weekend. Police are asking for witnesses to the assault, which occurred at 2 a.m. on Friday outside Cheetah’s cabaret on Lawrence Avenue, to come forward.
RCMP say a group of men became involved in an altercation, resulting in a 26-year-old Edmonton man being punched, falling to the ground and striking his head on the pavement. “The head injury sustained by the victim in falling to the ground has resulted in his hospitaliz-
ation, leaving the victim in serious condition,” said Sgt. Ann Morrison. The man had been in the club prior to the assault, she said. Police are asking anyone with knowledge of the incident and the individuals involved to contact the RCMP serious crimes unit at 250-7623300 or Crime Stoppers .

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Yes, it is possible. You can graduate from high school in a small town like Kelowna and still see your name in lights. Aaron Douglas, star of the new CTV drama The Bridge, walked out of KLO Secondary School— back when there was such a place—and into a life destined to make him a star. Yet listening to his story this week as he sat at a coffee shop on Bernard Avenue, one would hardly describe his trajectory as a how-to guide to acting success. “I had no idea I could do this as a career,” he said. From doing Shakespeare in City Park to several years of laying floors and finally a role as a diet consultant in Vancouver, Douglas fully admits his
penchant for drama had been shelved for the trappings of a responsible adulthood when an opportunity basically fell in his lap. It wasn’t until a man he was doing a diet consultation with suggested he try out for Vancouver’s William Davis Centre, through the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts, and take some classes that Douglas even considered a career on camera. One thing led to another and he was soon offered a spot as one of the 10 to 12 actors the school takes in each year. His wife at the time ascribed to a “you only get one chance at life” philosophy and Douglas said he decided to take the risk. That decision, and the string of events leading up to it, actually do make him somewhat of a howto role model for the selfguided success story, according to his brother. Chris Douglas, a local mental health and addictions counsellor, figures his older brother’s life really is the perfect example of how to make successful life decisions and, as it turns out, he has just written a how-to
guide for others to follow in a similar vein. “I call it human for dummies,” the actor joked as he explained how the pair are planning a joint book launch and lecture at the Rotary Centre for the Arts this fall. Aaron’s life will serve as a real life example of how to keep the ball rolling forward as Chris examines how some of our basic human instincts tend to get in the way as we cope with a 21st century. Over the last 200,000 years our survival instincts have developed to respond to certain stimulus in prescribed ways, Chris said, but with the rapid development of the last couple of centuries, sometimes our responses no longer fit the bill. To put it in context, he suggests looking at how we all cope with a particularly stressful day. “Here I am responding to phone calls and emails in the same way I would be reacting to running from a tiger 400 years ago,” the younger Douglas brother said. Human. An Operator’s Manual, as he has called the book, tries to explain the relationship between
our reptilian, mammalian and executive brain functions and shares some of the scientific research psychology has produced to help us understand how to deal with challenges and the relationships in our lives. “You don’t have to spend years in therapy to deal with an issue,” his mother, Arlene Elliott said. She too works as a counsellor and says the research her son is talking about can make anything from coping with death to breaking a bad habit make more sense. The pair share a practice, Elliott, Douglas and Associates, where their philosophy is explained in detail. For his part, Aaron says, he is hoping to give a talk during the day for those hoping to break into the acting field as well. Watch the www.elliottdouglas.com website for details. The evening talk will take place in conjunction with the book launch Friday, Oct. 1, in the Rotary Centre for the Arts.

Liberal leader to swing through Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Okanaganites will get a chance to bend the ear of Liberal leader Michael Ignatief next Monday, when he comes to the Valley as part of his Canada-wide “listening tour.” “He’s basically coming down to demonstrate the importance of every single riding in Canada,” said Ross Rebagliati, Liberal candidate for the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding, a seat currently occupied by MP Stockwell Day. “Even though it’s a Conservative area, every single riding is a battleground…that’s representative of how (Ignatieff) is. Even though we have small numbers, that’s not a reason why we should be overlooked.”
During the 2008 federal election, Conservative Stockwell Day stole the show with 29,219 votes. The next up was NDP Ralph Poynting with 8,265 votes, then there was the Green’s Dan Bouchard with 6,687. Finally Liberal candidate Valerie Halford took 6,070. While Conservatives are particularly entrenched in Rebagliati’s riding, the same holds true for most of the Okanagan, and that’s something the up-and-coming politician believes he can change. “The opportunity is there to raise awareness, and get the younger vote out,” he said, adding Ignatieff’s appearance could go a long way in meeting that aim. “There are a lot of disaffected voters in the 40

and younger age group …and my being involved has planted a seed with younger adults who may never have considered getting out to vote.” The tour has attracted large crowds in over 75 communities across Canada, and logged some 30,000 kilometers. According to a Liberal press release, it’s providing Ignatieff with a dynamic picture of what Canadi-
ans care about, and an opportunity to discuss Liberal policy on matters vitally affecting Canadians of all ages and backgrounds. In the Okanagan, Liberals say retirement security, public health care, and the first-ever National Food Policy are on the agenda. Top of his local itinerary is a 2:30 p.m. meet and greet at the Peach on the Beach in Penticton, where one-and-all are welcomed. Then he’ll be at CedarCreek Estate Winery, in Kelowna, for a ticketed fundraiser at 6 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 and the reception starts at 6 p.m. The $20 admission is payable onsite. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com DOUG FARROW/CAPITAL NEWS

NEWS ▼ NATYNCZYK
Top general praises troops Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Canada’s top soldier came to Kelowna this week to extol the work of the thousands of Canadian troops he commands. And General Walter Natynczyk said when it comes to the work the men and women of the Canadian Forces are doing in Afghanistan, it is second to none. “They do not take a back seat to anyone,” he said. That was the message he wanted to hammer home to people across the country, Canadian soldiers not only want to do a good job, they want to make the people of Canada proud. “These men and women want to serve, they want to be there and they want to do something for Canada.” Part of that work, he
said, includes defending this country. “The defence of Canada stars thousands of miles away in places like Kandahar (the regional of Afghanistan where the Canadian troops are stationed. But the sun is setting on the eight-year-old mission. A Parliamentary motion calls for this country’s troops to pull out by the end of 2011 and Natynczyk said as it stands, he does not see any way for Canadian troops to stay there unless there is a new motion passed by parliament. “I consider the parliament motion an order,” he told a gathering of about 200 people at Cedar Creek Winery Monday. The gathering, a fundraiser for the Canadian Military Fa miles Fund, drew a near sell-out crowd who paid $100 a piece to
hear the Canadian Chief of the Defence Staff speak. Earlier in the day, Natynczyk presented a medal to Sgt. Connie Uetz, a local woman who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan and was injured in an explosion while there, She is now confined to a wheelchair. Natynczyk also paid tribute to local cadets. “Becoming a cadet was one of the best things I ever did,” said the general, a 32-year veteran of the army. He took over as the country’s top soldier in 2008 and has overseen a resurgence of interest in the military in Canada. Recruiting, he said, is up 10 per cent across the country and 15 per cent in Quebec. Despite speaking for nearly 30 minutes, he did not mention the toll the war in Afghanistan has

Asked after his speech, he said that was out of respect for the 151 Canadians who have died there since 2002. He said he has seen
the “incredible” support for military families when fallen soldiers bodies are returned to Canada and has been impressed by the outpouring of sympathy by the public. But, he said, in any
conflict there will be people who make the “supreme sacrifice” and their deaths must be honoured. He does not feel the large number of casualties have been a lightening rod for opposition to Canada’s
role in Afghanistan and said he supports the right of people who disagree to protest peacefully. But he said Canadians are making a difference in Afghanistan of that he is very proud.
Dog patrollers get Gator aid The latest addition to the dog control fleet provides added mobility for patrols of waterfront and other park areas. Dog control officers in the Central Okanagan are now using a newly equipped and brightly painted green Gator vehicle as another tool to assist with enforcement along more than 60 kilometers of roads linking lakeshore parks and linear corridors within the City of Kelowna. Chief bylaw enforce-
ment officer Rhoda Mueller said, “Our department purchased the Gator from Parks Services and our innovative mechanic shop staff have revamped it, equipping it with storage and even a mobile kennel area in case we have to transport dogs picked up while on patrol. “The Gator gives us increased flexibility to ensure people using parks are able to enjoy their experience, especially along the popular waterfront corridor. By being more
visible more often in such high-use, off road locations, we’ll have a greater opportunity to raise public awareness and education about responsible dog ownership.” During the summer months, dog control officers also conduct patrols in park areas and trails using bicycles in addition to the truck fleet. Regular enforcement of the Regional District of Central Okanagan Dog Regulations resumed in late June throughout the
region and member municipalities after an appeal was filed in connection with a June 10th Supreme Court ruling on a section which requires dog owners to control their dog to ensure that it doesn’t without provocation, aggressively pursue, inflict minor injury, harass, chase or approach a person on public or private property in an attitude of attack. The Regional Parks bylaw requires dogs to be on leash and on designated trails only.

Locals jailed in Wash. Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Two Kelowna men have been sentenced for smuggling marijuana into Washington State. Last week, Jahrum David Oakes and William Richard Paterson were handed jail sentences for their role in carrying drugs across the 49th parallel on Nov. 1, 2009. A special agent from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), in documents filed with the courts, said he received intelligence that drug trafficking was about to take place that day on a property along the border in Danville, Washington. Just before 11 a.m., law enforcement agents spotted two men walking through the barnyard, coming from the direction of the Canada-U.S. border. Each were carrying two large duffel bags containing numerous plastic bags filled with processed marijuana, the DEA says. Officers also found four more duffel bags of drugs in the area, but Oakes and Paterson argued they didn’t belong to them. In total, the eight bags contained approximately 107 kilograms of marijuana. Last week, Paterson was sentenced to 40 months in jail on charges of conspiracy to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute and importation of more than 50 kilograms of marijuana, while Oakes was handed a 24 month sentence on the charges. The jail terms will be followed by three years of supervised release, court records indicate.

Johnny’s friendly butchers want to make your meal planning easier, so they came up with
ing of sockeye salmon, has raised the voices and drums of the Penticton Indian Band and Okanagan Nation Alliance. On Monday about 75 band members led a peaceful protest in front of the Ministry of Environment building in Penticton, where the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have allowed the sockeye fishing licences to be sold, to show their anger of allowing this to happen. The long-term efforts to restore the salmon stock is just starting to see results. Penticton Indian Band Chief Jonathan Kruger said this is the first year sockeye have returned to Osoyoos Lake and it was recently announced by the PIB that this was the largest Okanagan sockeye run since the 1930s. He said having licences available to recreational fishers is “way too premature.” “I don’t want us to look like the bad guys, we are just doing this to be responsible and we don’t feel DFO is that responsible when it comes to

Protest aimed at recreational fishery Protest from A9 Nation Alliance has stood up on this issue and “to show “the bigger picture.” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip and Osoyoos Indian Band Chief Clarence Louie were also at the peaceful demonstration that lasted about an hour on Monday. Phillip said they started their campaign to serve notice to DFO, the provincial government and the Ministry of Environment last Friday to send “a very clear message that they do not have any jurisdiction or authority over making decisions with respect to the Okanagan sockeye salmon.” Phillip said the government is obligated by law and by the rights enshrined in the constitution and the declaration of rights of indigenous peoples that they have a proprietary interest in the lands, resources and waters within their territories. “It is so important that we continue to remind Canada and the province of British Columbia that we will not tolerate a blatant infringement of our rights. It’s such an important part of our work and our life to continually rise to the challenges when government step out of
line, speak out of turn and make decisions overnight that are blatantly opportunistic. So what is happening here this morning is simply another day at the office, another step in this campaign. We had an emergency teleconference
with DFO last Thursday. At the end of the day it went for two hours, it was very heated and they know and understand that they dropped the ball on this and they have agreed to meet…they understand the emergency of this situ-
ation,” said Phillip. Both Phillip and Louie touched on issues about wildlife management and said discussions will be held in the fall about title and rights on that subject as well. Penticton Western News

North Okanagan, the lack of beds are a regular occurrence at every emergency department in Canada. “We have a system where we look after the sickest patients first, they get the care they need right away,” she said. “Other patients less emergent or urgent may have to wait a bit longer. Sometimes all the beds are filled and that’s a fact of life in every emergency department in Canada.” Furey said it’s been an exceptionally busy summer at VJH, not only with locals but with out-oftown visitors. One thing Furey reminds everyone who checks into VJH, whether a local resident or a visitor, is that they will receive outstanding care. However, it just might take some time. “No patients are turned away and everybody is looked after safely and as efficiently as possible,” she said. “We have extremely skilled nursing and medical staff and all the patients who come to us have availability to the same equipment as anyone else in the building. “While it can be crowded at times due to sheer volume, the care is second to none.”
Residents complain of water switch Richard Rolke CONTRIBUTOR
Changing some home owners’ source of water has tapped considerable frustration in Coldstream. Some residents are upset the North Okanagan Regional District recently moved customers from the East Kalamalka Lake intake to the Duteau Creek source. “When people bought their homes, many did so because of the quality of the water,” said Gyula Kiss, a Coldstream councillor. “Now they are complaining bitterly that the water is coloured.” There are 145 lots in the affected area plus Kalamalka Secondary School. NORD officials say there was no choice but to phase the East Kal Lake intake out. “It would be very expensive to upgrade the site to meet the (safety) requirements of the Interior Health Authority,” said

Arnold Badke, engineering general manager. Badke said that customers were previously receiving a mix of water from the East Kal Lake intake and Antwerp Springs but Antwerp Springs had to be abandoned earlier this year because of contamination. While there have been complaints about the Duteau Creek source, Badke expects that will soon change. “Within five or six weeks, the Duteau Creek treatment plant will be on line and the water will improve,” he said. The $29-million plant is currently being tested and the goal is for it to start providing water to customers some time in September. Kiss insists the East Kal Lake intake should be reopened and he isn’t convinced the Duteau treatment plant will help. “Until they prove to me that the water is as good as Kal Lake, I’ll have my doubts,” he said.

She said she was put into a small room with 10 other patients in gowns, with no clothes underneath, and no privacy. “We were all herded into this room to sit in hard plastic chairs for five hours,” said the woman. “We had no privacy and had to be checked by the nurse in front of the other patients.” Sitting beside the woman in the waiting room was a 92-year-old woman in severe pain from a broken bone.

Uncontained fires mixed with high winds mean huge hazard Emergency officials closed the highway to Bella Coola and issued more evacuation notices in the Cariboo and Northwest Tuesday as forest fires continued to spread rapidly in hot Interior weather. Forests Minister Pat Bell issued a warning Tuesday that a cold front is expected to bring high winds and lightning but little rain to fire-stricken areas of the B.C. Interior this week. r “We have a lot of uncontained large fires burning in the Northwest, Cariboo and Prince George regions,” Bell said. “When you add strong winds, it makes an already difficult situ-
ation even worse.” Even before the winds, hot temperatures had produced fires ranked five or six, the fastest spread measured by the B.C. Forest Service wildfire management branch. A heavy smoke warning was issued Tuesday for the area between Houston, Burns Lake and Prince George. Air quality and wildfire smoke advisories have been issued for Kamloops, Prince George, Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Williams Lake, Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Terrace, Kitimat, the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District.
The Cariboo region had already lost more than 123,000 hectares of forest to fire as of this week, which is several times more than the entire province in recent years. Fishing lodges were evacuated in the Dean River area of the Central Coast on Tuesday, and Highway 20 from the Cariboo to the Central Coast remained closed due to a fast-moving fire on both sides that forced its closure Sunday night. Evacuation orders were also in effect for five Nazko First Nations reserves and several other parts of the Cariboo Regional District, with evacuation alerts or orders for the Bulkley-Nechako.
New fleet of buses rolls in Penticton to attract more riders

Steve Kidd CONTRIBUTOR
Each year, Pentictonites take more than 400,000 rides on pubrlic transit and soon, those rides are going to be a lit-
tle more comfortable, especially for those relying on mobility aids like scooters or wheelchairs. The first of eight new buses replacing Penticton’s aging fleet are already on the streets, with
the rest due to arrive by the end of the year. Along with using less fuel and producing less emissions, the buses sport several accessibility features, including foldaway seats to make room for scooters, a
door ramp and the ability to “kneel,” lowering the front door to curb level.
“I’m glad to see Penticton is making choices that benefit the local resi-
dents,” said Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff, who was on hand Wednes-
day to help with the public introduction of the new buses.

Foundation. “It was devastating news for us as the board of directors, but we will remain positive because we know the machine is coming,” said Jane Drapeau, chair of the foundation. The reason for the delay is that construction of the site to house the new,
much more sophisticated CT Scanner requires more extensive upgrades to the electrical and mechanical systems than first expected. The old machine, over a decade old now, will remain in operation until the new machine arrives and is installed.

They say a fine wine gets better with age and if Tourism Kelowna is right, the same holds true for wine regions. This week the marketing arm of the Central Okanagan announced a new approach to generating a bit of attention for local vineyards that’s appropriate for the local and ever-maturing vino culture. Their plan, explained Tourism Kelowna’s new consumer programs manager Tom Ignatzi, is to lump together 15 wineries in this region and market them as a package, while maintaining the individual flavour of each busi-

ness. To get the job done, what’s now being referred to as “the collective” has hired Coletta & Associates Ltd to develop its strategies. “If you really think of what’s happened, there’s been such an explosion of growth up and down the Valley,” said Ignatzi. “We’ve seen new wineries emerge and the accompanying growth is paralleled in curiosity and desire to travel to wine destination. So, therein lies the need to increase traffic to this destination.” The whole plan is really in its rudimentary stages, but to visualize how it may work out, conjure an image of Napa Valley. “Over the years
they’ve evolved into a hub,” said Ignatzi adding that wineries in surrounding areas still get plenty of traffic, but Napa is what draws the crowds in. “If you look at Kelow-

cal area wineries.” While not all have joined forces with the collective yet, there’s excitement building within the wine-making community. “We’re excited to be involved in this initiative right from the ground level,” said Gordon Fitzpatrick, president of CedarCreek Estate Winery. “Forming a collective with our neighbour wineries is a smart business decision that will grow patronage of our wineries and destination as a whole.” Fitzpatrick went on to say that the collective will be able to draw from the research, resources and promotional track record of Tourism Kelowna.

A fully functioning Kelowna Fire Museum may be a bit closer to reality thanks to a new fundraising initiative. The Get Fired Up auction kicked of this week and those who head to the firemuseum.ca site, can take part by bidding on helmets that have been transformed into a type of canvas. Helmets have been gathered from Calgary to Vancouver and south of the border. Local firemen have also anted up their head-gear for the cause. The helmets were transformed into pieces of art from local artists who, struck with varying sources of inspiration, painted the helmets
For the record A story in Sunday’s Capital News about the upcoming Kelowna Fire Museum and Education Centre’s helmet auction fundraiser included the incorrect spelling of a name. The name should have read Brazen EdwardsHager.

Proposal call issued for new KGH building
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Three companies are in the running to build the new Kelowna General Hospital clinical support building. The planned new
three-storey,7,850-squaremetre building, to be located across Pandosy Street from the main hospital campus and connected by elevated corridors, is part of the $448 million Interior Heart and Surgical Centre project at the
hospital. The building will house the KGH laboratories and clinical support departments. It’s construction will make way for construction of the new five-storey heart centre at the hospital. The new
heart centre will replace the oldest part of the hospital and become the fifth centre in B.C. and the first in the B.C. Interior offering full cardiac surgery. The request for proposals to design and build the clinical support build-

ing was issued to three shortlisted teams Tuesday. Calling it a significant stage in the procurement process, Interior Health officials identified the three teams as Acciona Stuart Olson Joint Venture, Graham Design Build Services, another joint venture and PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. Response submissions are due in the fall, with the contract award expected to be made before the end of the year. The existing laboratory and clinical support departments at KGH will move into the new building in preparation for the start of construction of the heart centre building. At the same time, in 2012, the clinical support building will open in conjunction with the new six-storey patient care tower currently under construction at KGH. The heart centre building will be located at the corner of Pandosy Street and Rose Avenue and replace the oldest building currently used at the hospital. The heart centre project will also include renovations to the existing Royal and Strathcona buildings and parts of the new Centennial tower. The combined value of the ongoing construction at KGH and the addition of a new tower at Vernon’s Jubilee Hospital— considered part of the same project by the provincial government—as well as the new heart centre is estimated at a total of nearly $900 million Construction of the clinical support building is expected to start early next year.

VICTORIA—MLAs will wait for a judge to rule on the validity of Bill Vander Zalm’s petition to kill the HST, KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA Terry Lake said Monday. Lake is the convenor of the legislative committee that is preparing to meet to deal with Canada’s first ever successful citizen initiative. But in a letter sent to Vander Zalm, Lake said the legislation requires him to wait to receive the 700,000-name petition from Elections BC before calling the committee together. Legal arguments began Monday in B.C. Supreme Court on two court challenges related to the imposition of the HST on July 1. A business group represented by former attorney-general Geoff Plant is arguing that the petition is invalid because it calls on the legislature to repeal a federal law. Vander Zalm has sponsored his own court chal-
lenge of the HST, with lawyer Joe Arvay saying the tax isn’t lawful because the B.C. legislature didn’t pass a motion to explicitly endorse it, as other provinces did. The power to sponsor citizen initiatives or recall elected officials was first proposed when Vander Zalm was premier in the late 1980s, then enacted by the NDP government of Mike Harcourt in the early 1990s. It has never been successfully used. In addition to Lake, the standing committee includes B.C. Liberal MLAs Eric Foster (Vernon-Monashee), Dave S. Hayer (Surrey-Tynehead), Richard Lee (Burnaby North), Pat Pimm (Peace River North), and John Slater (BoundarySimilkameen). NDP MLAs on the committee are Mike Farnworth (Port Coquitlam), Katrine Conroy (Kootenay West), Rob Fleming (Victoria-Swan Lake) and Jenny Kwan (VancouverMount Pleasant). If the petition reaches that stage, the committee must decide whether to
submit a bill to the legislature that would “extinguish” the HST and pay back all the extra money collected under it, or stage a province-wide referendum on the measure. NDP attorney-general critic Leonard Krog also wrote to Elections BC on Monday, urging acting chief electoral officer Craig James to forward the 700,000-name petition to the legislative committee immediately, or at least explain why he has refused to do so. If the business groups challenging the anti-HST petition want the court to stop the process while their arguments are heard, they can apply for an injunction, Krog said. Krog wrote that his reading of the Recall and Initiative Act is that it requires Elections BC to forward to the committee any petition that gathers enough support, “but at a minimum, the public should be provided with a clear explanation, including any legal opinions or precedents that would support your decision in this matter.”

Wilkins dives in with AquaJets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
SALMON ARM’S Peter Wilkins is the new head coach of the Kelowna AquaJets.
WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
When it comes to competitive swimming in the Central Okanagan, Peter Wilkins sees enormous potential for growth. The 26-year-old Salmon Arm native hopes to play a key part in the future development of the sport in his new role as head coach of the Kelowna AquaJets Swim Club. Wilkins, who spent the last two years as a coach with the University of Regina Cougars swim team, believes Kelowna is fertile ground to one day be a hotbed for swimming. “I’ve always been interested in the idea of helping to grow and develop a club, and Kelowna is a great place to do it,” said Wilkins. “This is a growing city and an active city. We have a great new facility (H20), we have three other pools here, and we have a rapidly expanding university that could have a swimming program in the next number of years. The potential is limitless and that’s very exciting.” A certified level 3 coach, Wilkins honed his coaching skills at the summer club level in Salmon Arm, Revelstoke and in Kelowna with the Ogopogo Swim Club in 2007. He was the head age group coach with the Re-
gina Optimist Dolphins for the last three years, and also worked as an assistant with the U of Regina team for two seasons. Wilkins’ portfolio includes coaching his swimmers to both provincial and national age group medals, as well as four national records.
‘‘
I’VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN HELPING TO DEVELOP A CLUB, AND KELOWNA IS A GREAT PLACE TO DO IT.
Still, AquaJets board member Dan Obedkoff said Wilkins brings much more to the head coaching job than medals and records. “In a coach, we were looking for a lot of energy and enthusiasm which Peter definitely brings with him,” said Obedkoff. “He’s a committed and highly motivated individual, he’s professional, and his athletes are well-prepared. He gives the kids a sense of pride in their team as well as being able to teach the skills at a high level.” In addition to the club continuing to provide opportunities for all ranges
and abilities of swimmers, Wilkins hopes he can set a higher standard for those Jets’ athletes who aspire to the highest levels of competition. “I want to help more kids get to the regional level, produce more double-A and triple-A qualifiers, and have more of our swimmers compete at the junior level,” said Wilkins. “I want to raise the bar for all our swimmers, regardless of the level they’re at. I want them to see the bright and exciting part of swimming and the potential each one of them has. It’s very rewarding to be able to work with kids.” With the numbers of club swimmers typically hovering between 120 and 160—depending on the season—one goal shared by Wilkins and the AquaJets board is to see the membership rise above the 200-mark in the next couple of years. The Jets will be holding introductory summer swim camps from August 23 to 27 at both the H2O Adventure and Fitness Centre and the Kelowna Family Y for anyone sixyears-old and up. Fall season registration will be held Sept. 7 to 10. For more information, call 250-769-1322 or visit www.kelownaaquajets. com.

Sun must refocus after suffering a humbling loss Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
As much as Peter McCall detests the concept of losing, he knows there’s a higher purpose to failure on the football field.
placency and overconfidence creeping into the Sun locker room, due in large part to a massive 27-19 win over the Raiders a week earlier, McCall said now is the time for his club to refocus and recommit to the task for
the last half of the regular season. “We’ve seen guys get a little complacent in some positions and, over the next couple of games, we’re going to give other guys opportunities to get in there and show what
they can do,” McCall said. “We’ll get that pecking order established, keep guys on their toes and let them know that if they’re not performing, we’ve got many a talented guy who can step in there. “I expect to see a dif-
ferent look in their eyes this week,” McCall added, “knowing they’re not invincible.” The Sun (3-1) will look to get their house back in order on Saturday night when they visit the winless Chilliwack Husk-
ers (0-4). In Nanaimo, the Sun lacked intensity and focus at times on both sides of the ball. The running game failed to gain traction See Sun A19

Okanagan Golf Club’s Greg Forbes birdied two of the last three holes on Sunday to claim the 2010 edition of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Men’s Invitational. Forbes’ two-day score of 2-under-par 142 (7072) was one stroke better than Jason Monteleone. Monteleone (69-74) had a shot at an eagle on the 18th to force a playoff, but his putt came up just short of the mark. Vancouver’s Patrick MacKinnon and Okanagan Club’s Kyle McMurphy tied for third at 144. McMurphy, who fired a 67 on day 1, appeared to have the tournament well
in hand midway through the second round, but ran into trouble at the KGCC’s Amen Corner—the 13th through 15th holes. He was unable to recover and finished with a 77. Matt Palahniuk amd Jeremy Osborne tied for fifth at 145, while Barry Evans, Tyrel Griffith and Paul Wammer shared seventh at 147. Patrick MacKinnon was the low net winner at 136. The field featured 190 golfers. The next event at the KGCC is the club’s annual Ladies Invitational, Aug. 23 and 24.

Elite Canadian athletes Paula Findlay and Simon Whitfield have confirmed their attendance for the weekend.
Brown finishes eighth at golf nationals A solid final round of 4-under-par 68 gave Kelowna’s Daniel Brown a tie for eighth place at the Canadian men’s amateur golf championship. Brown, the 2009 B.C. men’s champion, closed out the four-day tourney Sunday in London with a 285 score (74-71-72-68), 14 strokes back of winner Albin Choi of Toronto. Brown entered the final round in a tie for 20th place.
Earlier this summer, Brown tied for 10th place at the B.C. men’s amateur championship in Castelgar.
WALDRON SECOND AT B.C. SENIORS
Kelowna’s Brock Waldron is getting better with age. Waldron, 57, turned in his best effort yet at the B.C. senior men’s golf championship with a second-place showing last
z l e z r i S r e m m u S
week in Abbotsford. In his third appearance at provincial seniors, Waldron carded a 4-over-par 214 total to finish two shots back of Port Moody’s Gudmund Lindbjerg at the Ledgeview Golf and Country Club. Waldron, who was born and raised in Kelowna, was 14th in his first B.C. seniors in 2008, then followed up last year with a sixth-place effort. His final round of 69
this year included a holein-one on the 17th. Waldron said all the time spent practising and playing over the last few years is paying dividends. “It takes a lot of practise and my kids are grown up so now I have more time to play,” said Waldron. “It’s a lot of work, but I’m passionate about golf and over time I’m seeing the rewards.” Waldron’s secondplace showing qualifies
him as a member of Team B.C. for the Canadian senior men’s golf championship in St. Thomas, Ont., Aug. 31 to Sept. 3. The other members are Lindbjerg, Brian De Biasio from Nelson, and Quesnel’s Real Gamache. Other results for Kelowna golfers at the B.C. championship included Terry Nicol (226) in 19th, Marc Pezzin, 32nd (229), and George Oelrich, 61st (237).

Local karate club golden on international stage

TANEDA KARATE DOJO coach Chris Taneda is
flanked by Glen Kirk (left) and Michelle Taneda, the men’s and women’s Grand Champions at the Soke Cup in Japan.
The Taneda Karate Dojo made its presence felt at the 10th annual Soke Cup competition in Kumamoto, Japan. The local club struck for 63 medals—including 14 gold—at the Chito-ryu World Championships. On an individual basis, Taneda’s Glen Kirk was awarded the Male Grand Champion, while Michelle Taneda successfully defended her Grand Championship by winning the female award. Kirk won gold in masters (40+) kata and kumite.
He also won bronze in men’s team kumite. He is a four-time men’s heavyweight kumite champion in this event. This is his first Soke Cup as Grand Champion. Michelle captured silver in women’s black belt kata (forms), bronze in individual kumite (sparring), silver in team kumite and bronze in team kata. Taneda was the only woman in the black belt division to medal in all four events. Four members of the Taneda Dojo each won four medals:
• Danielle Kumalae won two gold and two silver medals • Coulson Boothe won one gold and three silver • Claire Boothe won one gold and three silver • Jessica Lotoski won three silver and one bronze medal. Triple medalists were Anne Ross with two gold and one bronze, Elizabeth Tribe had one gold and two Bronze, Kari Taneda won one gold, one silver and one bronze, Meranda Lloyd earned one gold and two bronze, El-
Competition will re-establish pecking order Sun from A17 against a revamped Raiders defensive front, while quarterback Bobby Davis was sacked five times. The defense—which yielded an 80-yard run by Jordan Botel on the first play from scrimmage— had its fair share of missed tackles and blown assignments. Still, McCall credited his Sun for battling to the finish and very nearly rallying for the victory in the final minute of play. The upside of the fourpoint loss is that the Sun
has clinched the season series (46-42) between the teams and any tiebreaker with the Raiders would go Okanagan’s way—meaning a first-place finish remains entirely in the Sun’s hands. “Of course, that’s in the back of your mind, it’s good to know that we still have our own destiny in our hands,” McCall said. “We don’t want to look too far down the road, but if we win out, first is ours. I’m biased, but I think we have the best group of athletes in the league and we can only beat ourselves.
“Sometimes a loss is a blessing,” he added. “We were humbled, and next time we meet them we’ll be a different team.” The Sun will return home to the Apple Bowl Saturday, Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. when they battle the Kamloops Broncos. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

▼ 100 HOLES
Golfers gearing up for long day There are still a few spots available for golfers, as well as opportunities for hole sponsors, at The Pihl Law Corporation Golf Marathon in support of BrainTrust Canada. The event takes place Sept. 10 at the Bear Golf Course at the Okanagan Golf Club where golfers play 100 holes from dawn until dusk.
This year’s goal is to raise $80,000 with all proceeds going to BrainTrust Canada’s brain injury education and prevention programs in the Okanagan. The event offers golfers a total of $70,000 for holes-in-one, courtesy of Capri Insurance, Harmony Honda, Avalon Event Rentals and Kelowna BMW.
Pihl Law Corporation is joined by gold sponsor Valley Mitsubishi, silver sponsor WorkSafe BC, BDO and Voda Computer Systems, and media sponsors the Capital News, CHBC, SHAW, K96.3, SILK/SUN/AM 1150, Power 104/Q103.1, OKBC.TV and Okanagan Life magazine. “Although 100 holes of golf sounds daunting, it really is the ultimate day of golf,” said Magda Kapp, social marketing manager for BrainTrust Canada. “In addition to supporting the important cause of brain injury awareness, there are incentives for golfers to participate. These include grand prizes such as a trip to anywhere WestJet flies, a trip to golf at Furry Creek and Nicholas North in Whistler courtesy of The Okanagan Golf Club and a prize package at NK’Mip, including golf, accommodations
and dinner. Also, the top two fundraising golfers will receive a helicopter ride courtesy of Valhalla Helicopters and a limited edition print from local artist Kenna Graff. We would still like to secure a few more hole sponsors, which are available for a reasonable $250—and that is great value with 12 hours of exposure.” BrainTrust Canada is a progressive community rehabilitation organization dedicated to being a leader in injury prevention, as well as maximizing independence for persons with brain injury. Approximately four per cent of the population, or 1.3 million people in Canada, are living with the effects of brain injury. With respect to the incidence of brain injury, an estimated 500 in 100,000 sustain brain injury each year, which equates to over 165,000 in Canada, or one person injured every three minutes.

Ahoy matey, adults can buy Pirate Paks today
New fingerprint rules for volunteers
Adults can bring out their inner kid and their inner pirate today by dining at White Spot and helping raise money to send kids with life-threatening illnesses to summer camp. For every White Spot fan over the age of 10, the day they have been waiting for has finally arrived. Since the restaurant’s legendary Pirate Pak first sailed onto the dining table in 1968, mil-
lions of kids across B.C. and Alberta have enjoyed the hamburger meal that comes in its own pirate ship container. To celebrate the third annual Pirate Pak Day and for the first time in history, every White Spot customer can re-live childhood memories for the day by buying a special edition adult Pirate Pak. “Every year we receive an overwhelming
number of requests from adults who have craved a Pirate Pak meal since their youth,” said Warren Erhart, president of White Spot. “White Spot launched Pirate Pak Day to reminisce about the joys of childhood and keep the magic of the Pirate Pak alive, so we created an opportunity for adults to be kids again and enjoy the beloved pak alongside
their families.” To mark this year’s Pirate Pak day, $2 from the sale of each pak and contributions received will be donated to the Zajac Ranch for Children— a longtime B.C. charity dedicated to giving children with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities an unforgettable summer camp experience. “Pirate Pak Day was a

Many volunteers— from Scout leaders to youth soccer coaches— may be fingerprinted due to tightened federal rules for criminal background checks. The national policy change quietly introduced in July affects organizations and employers who deal with children and others considered vulnerable, including the elderly and people with disabilities. The new RCMP screening measure is intended to ferret out pardoned sex offenders who change their names after release, seek positions of trust and go on to prey on young victims again. Volunteers and employees working with the vulnerable whose organizations require criminal record checks will now also be checked to see if their date of birth matches that of any of the 14,000 pardoned sex offenders in a national database. Those born on the same day as one of the offenders will have to be fingerprinted to ensure they aren’t in fact the sex offender operating under a new name. A calculation by an SFU statistician suggests at least one-third of male volunteers—and perhaps closer to half—would match the date of birth of one of the paroled sex offenders and therefore be subject to fingerprinting. “The odds of your date of birth being in there are fairly strong,” confirmed Robert Murray, the RCMP’s manager for civil pardons and purged services, who added the force has no concrete numbers yet. If fingerprints are required, the check may take up to four months to complete, he said, although for most people who don’t turn up a possible match, the processing delay is expected to be just two to four weeks. Fingerprints will be destroyed after each search and not retained in any type of registry, Murray emphasized. “Our goal is to ensure vulnerable individuals are placed in the care of people who are trustworthy,” he said.

Local B.C. trivia contest winners… teacher honoured Hundreds of Canadians gave an A+ to their favourite teacher by nominating them in the fourth annual Canadian Family Great Teacher Awards. This year, a Kelowna teacher was recognized for his incredible impact as an educator. Brent Fitzgerald, who teaches the fourth grade at South Kelowna Elementary School, was one of the final three selected. Fitzgerald has spent seven years in the classroom and keeps morale high by incorporating offbeat activities in his lesson plans. Answering the call for amazing teachers, hundreds of nominations poured in from parents and kids across Canada, singing the praises of their wonderful teachers. The editorial team of Canadian Family magazine took on a difficult task by creating a shortlist, then turned to a handpicked panel of educational experts to select the winners. Fitzgerald’s students said their teacher isn’t afraid to act like a goofball—and that’s a wonderful thing for them. Sometimes it’s all about keeping morale high and creating a fun and interesting environment for learning, like the time he hid from the class when they returned from recess, pretending to be asleep as he stretched out on top of a bank of lockers. And everyone loves the gifts he gives students on their birthday— like a melon with a candle jammed into it. “He’s funny, and he makes the class laugh a lot,” observes Margaret Penner, whose daughter Emily, 10, was in Fitzgerald’s class last year. But more often than not, Fitzgerald performs his antics and sets up his offbeat classroom activities with some very specific educational goals in mind. “He gets the kids involved in hands-on activities that definitely make them remember what they’re being taught,” said Jennifer Pearson, the mother of one of his students. For a lesson on hibernation, Fitzgerald cleared the room of desks and set up cardboard boxes. Students spent 20 minutes, huddled inside their boxes to re-create hibernation.

Isotopes an opportunity or obligation
S
o, we’re back in the medical isotope business. But for how long? The nuclear reactor at Chalk River, Ont., is back online after more than a year out of service. Once again, Canada can produce a range of materials desperately needed for nuclear medicine. The prime minister has said Canada will be getting out of the production of medical isotopes. Closure of the Chalk River facility is forecast for 2016. Our aging research reactor
produces a third of the world’s supply of isotopes. Seven major ones are brought forth there, including molybdenum-99. It is used for scans of the brain, bone marrow and a host of organs. These images allow doctors to see inside the body, aiding the diagnosis of cancer and heart disease. Chalk River produces more cobalt-60 than anywhere else in the world. This isotope has been used in cancer treatments for more than 50 years. The last 15-month shutdown
MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212
is not the first time the facility has been offline. In 2007, the reactor was shut down for maintenance and caused an international shortage of isotopes. Do we have an ethical imperative to produce materials that save lives, no matter the cost? That’s a debate bigger than this space. What seems simpler is the foolishness of abandoning an opportunity. Atomic Energy of Canada was working on a successor called Maple. Design problems pushed the cost of a replace-
ment reactor from $140 million to $906 million. The plug was pulled due to cost overruns. And then we spent $9 billion on fighter jets. Would Saudi Arabia decide to stop selling barrels of crude? It would seem like a bonehead move, and the Saudis are only sitting on one-fifth of the world’s oil reserves. Building modern nuclear reactors is an expensive and complex investment. But the world needs what we can make. It’s just good business.

More shadows of conspiracy theories in fantasy garden
I
t took Bill Vander Zalm about an hour to whip up a new conspiracy theory after the decision by Elections B.C. to wait for the courts to rule on his petition against the HST. The dapper Delta shrub merchant squinted through his shades at the media in Vancouver and insinuated that the Chief Electoral Officer is in the tank for Premier Gordon Campbell and his business buddies. Not in so many words, of course. That could cause Vander Zalm’s already impressive legal bills to grow further. So his statements were carefully calculated to trash an independent office on the level of the auditorgeneral, and its interim occupant, vet-
eran legislative clerk Craig James. “James is opening the door for any group opposed to a citizen initiative to thwart the democratic will of the people simply by launching a challenge to that petition in court,” Vander Zalm proclaimed in a press release from his anti-HST boiler room. “It is outrageous, and reeks of political interference by the government and their friends in big business, and we are not going to allow it.” Zalm then tried to elbow aside this
fallen angel and proceed on behalf of Her Majesty himself, presenting Canada’s first successful initiative petition to the designated committee of the Tom B.C. legislature. Alas, Fletcher Zalm’s legal advice is off the mark once again: There is no time limit specified to submit the petition. Elections B.C. is proceeding cautiously in uncharted legal waters while the B.C. Supreme Court considers two HST cases, including one from Zalm himself. Here’s one obvious point to illus-
VICTORIA VIEWS
trate that this corruption allegation is insulting nonsense. If Campbell wanted to stall the petition, he could simply do it in the legislature. No need to subvert trusted officials of the provincial Crown. Of course this is just the latest addition to Zalm’s overstuffed clown car of conspiracies. Stumping against the HST, he claimed that world-government plotters invented global warming to advance their vast scheme, and now they’re doing the same thing with consumption taxes and (gasp) a trade agreement between Canada and the European Union. This is all entertaining, and chants of “recall, recall” will be heard for
months to come. There are people who long to see B.C. politics get back to “normal.” Normal in this case means a sickening lurch from one bush-league humiliation to the next, with premiers resigning in disgrace before voters even have a chance to throw them out. But voters should remember what Zalm is really demanding: Repeal a federal law, reinstate the provincial sales tax bureaucracy and repay every additional dime collected under the HST. The costs of this lunacy haven’t even been calculated, since everyone knows it’s a fantasy garden. Tom Fletcher covers the legislature. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Browne’s record not so clairvoyant No cells To the editor: I am writing to congratulate Jennifer Smith’s “sixth sense” in her Wordsmith column in the Aug. 13 Capital News concluding that psychic Sylvia Browne’s claims to midwife conversations with the dead, detect health problems and divine the course of relationships are only so much flapdoodle. She concludes that Browne’s motivations are primarily financial, and it would be difficult to disagree with that charge although other, i.e., personality, factors may well be at work as Smith intimates. Despite Browne’s claims that she is about 87 to 90 per cent accurate, researchers who take her seriously enough to research her claims find she is entirely inaccurate. When Sylvia Browne was a weekly guest on The Montel Williams Show, she offered details in 115 missing persons and murder cases. Using databases such as LexisNexis
researchers were able to check Browne’s claims and predictions against the record of actual outcomes. In 115 cases (all of the available readings) 90 had no known outcomes, and of the 25 with known outcomes Browne was wrong in every case. A similar study involving 35 cases was published in Brill’s Content. The magazine concluded: “In 21, the details were too vague to be verified. Of the remaining 14, law-enforcement officials or family members involved in the investigations say that Browne had played no useful role.” Browne is repeatedly wrong. During the 2006 Sago Mining Disaster, Browne first said she knew the miners would be found alive. Yet, at the very moment she spoke it was announced that they were all dead except one. After the announcement, she tried to regroup saying, “I don’t think there’s anybody alive, maybe one.” In 1990 she also
said Richard Kneebone was alive in Canada, but his decomposed body was discovered a few days later in San Jose, California. She predicted that a firefighter was alive after 9/11 in New York City, but his body was found in the World Trade Center rubble two weeks later. Sometimes Browne is not only wrong but also tells suffering families horrible things. In 1999, Browne did a reading for Opal Jo Jennings’ grandmother, who wanted to know what happened to Opal, a six-year-old abducted from her front yard in Texas. Browne told the grandmother, “She’s not dead…” but rather enslaved in Japan. However, child molester Richard Lee Franks was convicted of kidnapping her the following year, and Opal’s remains were found in 2003. Many readers will remember the terrible case of Shawn Hornbeck. On Feb. 26, 2003, on Mon-
tel, Browne told Shawn’s parents he was dead. However, he was found alive four years later. On Oct. 20, 2004, on Montel Browne told Richard Torres’s widow that she would have a healthy baby boy. The June 28, 2005 update on Montel reported the baby was a girl and died five months premature. There are numerous cases like this drawing Browne’s claims into serious doubt yet Browne has, as Smith notes, 58 books under her belt and the public continues to file into her performances. Entertaining? No, not when her claims give false hope, waste valuable police time, or mislead the ill. Useful and accurate? The evidence says it isn’t. At the end of the day I suspect we could all use a bit more of Smith’s uncommon “six sense.” Gary W. Lea, Kelowna
Browne can foresee the gullible To the editor: Re.: Sylvia Browne and column Psychic Can Turn Over A Dollar in the Friday Aug 13 Capital News. Jennifer Smith got it exactly right when she wrote “this lady’s bunk isn’t helping anyone out.” Sylvia Browne has just enough psychic ability to foresee that wherever she goes there are bound to be enough gullible and desperate people willing to part
with their money to keep her in splendid affluence. And Kelowna seems to have enough willing believers to keep a grand assortment of astrologers, psychics, faith healers, preachers, ponzi men and charlatans of all stripes in their dubious endeavours. Guy King, Kelowna
in new West Kelowna cop shop –are you kidding me? To the editor: Further to my Aug. 15 letter (West Kelowna Cop Shop Too Fancy for This Taxpayer, Capital News), I have been advised that it will not have jail/holding cells because of cost constraints. I didn’t believe this when I heard it so I tracked down the nearest RCMP officer I could find. He verified that, in fact, this was true, and he was not happy about it. We can afford a bunch of architectural fluff but not the practical things to allow the cops to do their job efficiency. Someone needs to be accountable for this idiocy. Bill Miller, Westbank
Refugees get better deal than our seniors ter, food and whatever else is handed on a silver platter, I shake my head. Senior citizens or the poor or middle class who have worked for their old age pension will not even get close to what these refugee claimants are going to receive per month. If they are going to be shuttled to a so called prison—correct me if I’m wrong—they will be allowed to have three meals a day, health care, dental care, the list is endless. What concerns me is Canadians who have paid into the system and reside in care homes, don’t receive three meals a day, They are made to wait months, if not years, if they need an operation, and yet these illegally landed immigrants will be shuffled

Meanwhile, other immigrants try to come to Canada using the proper procedures and are refused entry. Here is my idea. When they arrive in Canada take them to the airport, put them on a plane to where they came from. A one-way ticket will cost about $900. They will have free food and drinks as it’s an overseas flight. This will still cost the Canadian taxpayers money, but not as much if they are kept here and are allowed to become non

The problem I have is seeing the number of street people homeless around my city or other cities or towns.

t seems like everywhere you turn or everyone you speak to these days has a sore back. Sometimes we just do not realize how important something is until we have problems with it or simply cannot use it. In a 1998 Office of National Statistics study, one in three men and one in four women over the age of 65 suffered back pain for 12 months or more, compared with one in 12 men and women between the ages of 25 and 44. Common causes of back pain in the over-60s are osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and degenerative disc disease. These are certainly chronic situations and are beyond the scope of this column for me to discuss. For those types of problems seek the professional advice of a chiropractor or other medical doctor. The main reason for my discussion today is because lately I have seen and heard about many people taking over-the –counter medications for

Did you know or have you ever considered that even though this is an OTC preparation that there could be side effects. The fun commercials do not paint the entire picture, in fact there are many colours missing. Some of the side effects for methocarbamol include stomach upset, nausea, flushing, constipation, headache, blurred vision, light-headedness, dizziness or drowsiness.

fast/slow heartbeat, fainting, yellowing eyes or skin, persistent nausea/ vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, mental/ mood changes, clumsiness, trouble urinating, signs of infection (e.g.: persistent sore throat, fever). This medication can also cause your urine to turn green or black in colour. As I have said in the past; sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Homeopathic remedies can be used safely for the relief of acute back pain whether it is from overuse, sleeping the wrong way or any number of other situations that are not majorly chronic and without the side effects mentioned above. I will give you a few homeopathic options for back pain and when I say back pain I am talking about acute pain because, if it has been around for a while, you need to see a chiropractor or other medical doctor. Some of the homeopathic remedies that I will suggest are easily obtainable at your local natural health store. I would recommend the 30 CH potency taken as directed on the container.

Rhus tox: A good remedy to consider if your back pain is caused by stiffness from overuse such as from doing something you are not used to doing such as shoveling snow etc. Usually a good indication that this would be the appropriate remedy to use would be that the pain is usually better by warmth and worse by lack of movement. Arnica: This is a great remedy to have around all the time but in the case of back pain it is great for any sore or bruised feeling caused from trauma or over exertion. Calc-phos: This is a good remedy for pain and stiffness in the cervical region of the back which almost could be described as a rheumatic pain or even pain in the bone. The above remedies are just a few of the many homeopathic remedies that could potentially offer relief to your sore back. Be sure to have it checked out if you cannot solve the problem on your own.

B.C. has become the first province in Canada to grant pharmaceutical prescription rights to naturopaths. The legislation, which kicked in this week, is described as timely in that B.C. is experiencing a shortage of primary care physicians and that public demand for integrative and holistic medicine is escalating. Naturopaths have been trained to prescribe, monitor, and adjust prescription medications as part of their medical training. The new legislation allows them to provide comprehensive primary care by broadening their scope of practice to include prescriptive pharmaceutical rights.

Filmmaker looks to kick-start his funding Johnny Paycheck would be proud
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
In filmmaking circles Adam Scorgie’s name carries some clout but, as he’ll admit, that doesn’t mean he’s flush with cash. It’s a tough position for the man behind The Union: The Business of Getting High to be in, really. Awards prove he’s skilled at the craft, but moviemaking costs money that accolades don’t offer. So, to bridge that gap he’s turned to kickstarter. com—a funding platform for artists, designers and filmmakers—and he’s going viral. Scorgie is showing up on the web and in numerous Facebook feeds, trading on a reputation for success in exchange for cash. “Movies are one of those rare mediums that have the ability to change us and make us laugh,” he says in a brief video spot, where he lays all his business on the line. “We’re working with kickstarter.com to raise $24,000 with pledges…to create a production company for the indie community, by the indie community.” And, if he doesn’t raise the whole kit and caboodle in the next seven days, Scorgie won’t get a dime. Kickstarter.com has a do or die clause which basically means those who utilize its services have to raise the entire amount they need, or they don’t get a cent. All the money gets returned to those who donate through the pledge system that’s set up, and the artist dies on their own sword. “It’s really a great idea,” said Scorgie, noting he only has seven days remaining of the 60 he was allotted. “I wish I knew about it before. It’s a lot easier than going to one funding source.”

FILMMAKER Adam Scorgie is following up his well-received documentary The Union: The Business of Getting High with a look at hockey tough guys. He has come up with a unique way to finance the film. That said, one wouldn’t think lining up cash from one source would really be an issue for Scorgie, who has racked up some impressive credentials. For the better part of three years, Scorgie has been basking in the spotlight shone on The Union. The film is the highest rated documentary by popular vote on the Internet Movie Database, IMDB.com and is situated alongside titles like Sicko, Fog of War and Bowling for Columbine. The marijuana-themed film has become one of the most popular independently produced documentaries in Canada and was se-
lected to show in 33 international film festivals, earning many best feature documentary awards along the way. And while it educated people on the ins and outs of the pot business, Scorgie spent a lot of cash learning the ins and outs of the movie business. He sold his club, Cheetahs, and his house to fund the project and years later he’s only now starting to recoup what he spent. “We sank $500,000 into building that and it’s starting to pay itself off, but DVD sales are down huge because of downloading from Internet sites,” he said.
In the years that followed, those who may have wanted to fund another run at filmmaking, got gun shy too. “People were more willing a few years ago, but now with the recession going on it’s tougher,” he said. “There’s different routes to get funding, like Telefilm, but you need a theatrical release for that and I never had a theatrical release.” So, he’s hoping he can square away the $24,000, make a beautiful demo of his film on Ice Guardians, present it so it’s theatreready and that will line him up for further fund-
ing. “In my talks, I compare it to the (film) The Wrestler,” he said, of his take on NHL enforcers. “We all consider ourselves underdogs…most of us are hustling every day to break through and that’s what these guys are like. They’re sacrificing their bodies for a couple minutes of ice-time.” To help Scorgie turn his newest idea into another local success story, go to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scorgie/score-g-productionsinc. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
n his classic 1977 cover of the country song, Take This Job and Shove It, Johnny Paycheck gave voice to the pent-up frustrations of employees. Perhaps no employee has ever said “I ain’t workin’ here no more” with more panache than JetBlue flight attendant, Steven Slater. Slater’s life went from normal to wildly abnormal in the span of a few moments last week. Pushed beyond his personal breaking point, he apparently commandeered a jet’s public address system, cursed out a passenger, grabbed some beer, deployed the emergency exit slide, and slid off towards his 15 minutes of fame. What has happened since is indicative of the instant messaging, instant video uploading, instant fame age in which we live. Slater has been all over the Internet and more conventional media. The day after his unusual “deplaning” I saw that a television channel was asking whether Slater should have his own reality show. Talk about going, literally, from nobody to working class hero overnight. Employer JetBlue is, seemingly, still trying to figure out what to do with Slater. His actions were outrageous, perhaps highly dangerous, and definitely not ones which are to be encouraged. The scenario of an employee blowing up and stomping (or sliding) off the job is one which courts deal with on a relatively frequent basis. The question which judges—in Canada, at least—have to answer is when can an employer rely on an employee’s ap-
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson parent intention to resign from his or her employment? Ideally, an employee will provide a letter of resignation and then, on the designated day, cease to provide employment services. In such an instance, there would be little difficulty concluding a voluntary resignation has occurred. Many times, however, a resignation or quit is the result of a momentary, emotional blowup. The employee, in a rush of anger, declares, “That’s it! I’m out of here” and storms out of the workplace (although not usually by way of an inflatable emergency slide). The employer accepts, and adheres to, the initial statement of resignation. Then the employee returns (after having cooled off) and declares he never had any actual intention of quitting. This is when lawyers and judges are called upon to assist in determining the impact of what happened. And, true to form, media updates on Slater’s situation are indicating that he now wants to return to the skies. When the fact of the See Smithson B2

resignation is in doubt, an objective test must be applied to determine whether, in all the circumstances, a reasonable person would understand by the employee’s statement that he had resigned. A valid and enforceable resignation must be unequivocal, meaning it must objectively reflect either an intention to resign or conduct clearly indicating such an intention. Even when an employee has made an unequivocal declaration of resignation, in some circumstances this cannot be taken at face value. Some time for the parties to cool off, gather their thoughts and reconsider might be the most reasonable and fair response.

BUSINESS ▼ MONEY MANAGEMENT
Guaranteed income stream for life
C
anadians are now living longer than any other past generation. The probability of one of a healthy couple living until age 90 is now 63 per cent. Will you have enough money to last your lifetime, or for the duration of a couple’s lifetime? The cost of living continues to increase. With a three per cent increase in the Canada Consumer Price Index, a bag of groceries costing $100 today will increase to $180 in 20 years. Since most people’s retirement will span 2030 years, or potentially up to 40 years, consumer purchases will cost more during retirement. A $3 loaf of bread purchased today may cost more then $5 20 years from now. For many people in the workforce, guaranteed pension plans have been replaced with defined contribution plans. These plans rely on the performance of the investments held within the pension assets. If you have a defined
FISCAL FITNESS
Doreen Smith contribution plan or no pension at all, you may run out of money due to low interest rates on fixed income investments, or you may lose money during market volatility. You can now purchase your own pension plan with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal product, so you do not run out of money in retirement. You can receive a guaranteed income stream through your retirement years until your death. This personal pension plan also provides potential for capital appreciation. A RRSP or RRIF allows a beneficiary to be named in the contract. Upon death, the named beneficiary receives the lump sum amount. Non-registered as-
sets held at banks or credit unions are frozen at time of death, and must go through the probate process. The average length of time for the probate process is 18 months. As an example, $200,000 is held at a bank or credit union in GIC’s, bonds or mutual funds, and upon death, provincial probate fees, legal and accounting fees can quickly add up to five to 10 per cent of the total assets of the estate. Freezing of assets and the costs associated with probate can be avoided by using an insurance product or insurance umbrella to hold the GIC, bond or mutual fund in. These insurance products have been around for decades. Banks and credit unions do not offer insurance products, so they sell you their GICs and mutual funds. For comparison purposes, a GMWB and a life insurance policy are insurance products, and this allows assets to be transferred to the named beneficiary upon death,
and avoids probate. With a life insurance policy the death benefit is paid out to the beneficiary within a couple of weeks after death of the policy holder. Since the GMWB is an insurance product, it is paid out to the named beneficiary within a couple of weeks after death, and bypasses the long time delay of probate, plus the extra costs of provincial fees, lawyer fees and accountant fees. Retirees have to balance their need for income with the need to achieve a minimum level of growth so we do not outlive our money Investors can take advantage of insurance products to meet their need for a guaranteed income stream during their lifetime. Retirees can use insurance solutions to avoid the erosion of an estate. Doreen Smith is a certified financial planner and life insurance broker with Capri Wealth Management Inc.

Ministry of Environment. “Overcoming the water challenges we face in the Okanagan Valley requires a collaborative, determined community effort,” says Doug Owram, deputy-vice chancellor and principal of UBC’s Okanagan campus. “Through research, teaching, lab space and creating public awareness, UBC faculty and students are a significant partner in that process.” The symposium will begin with a public lecture and have a mix of plenary talks (addressing all three
sites) from local and international experts, panel discussions, break-out discussions, networking breaks as well as a poster reception. This mix of platforms will give participants a chance to listen to leading experts as well as to meet new colleagues and engage in dialogue around the content of a water science strategy for B.C. “This symposium will foster interactions which can lead to the development of collaborative relationships and promote more coordinated, inter-
disciplinary approaches to tackling issues related to water management,” says Bauer. “We hope to attract a broad range of participants.” Two of the symposium’s four plenary speakers will be presenting live from the Kelowna site in the arts building at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

Has Gout Affected You?
Gout is an extremely painful condition that can affect people of all races and ages. It can effect both men and women but it is more common in men. Gout used to be considered a problem for the rich, kings, gentry, and others who ate too much and drank too much wine. Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood which settles out as uric acid crystals in the joints. This causes pain, redness, and swelling. Classic signs of gout are swelling in the big toe, ankle, knees or elbow. The pain can be both chronic or can present suddenly. SciMed Research is starting a research trial to evaluate a new investigational therapy to lower uric acid, the cause of gout. If you have been diagnosed with or suffer from gout symptoms you may qualify to participate in this research trial. Please call Scimed Research to register for a no cost or obligation consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this GOUT study.

conducted at every level in our nation and is a perspective that has reinvigorated individuals to once again reach into their inner self and find the innovative spirit that resides in all of us. It is, in effect, the essence of entrepreneurial leadership. There is no question entrepreneurial leaders translate their vision into a reality by their capacity to influence those around them to buy into and contribute to their vision or goal for change. One such leader is Jason Richards, the CEO of one of the top information technology companies in this area, Vineyard Networks. Richards was born in Victoria to a father who was a business owner in his own right. In university Richards began his journey of excellence completing a bachelors of math and physics degree and embarking on a post-graduate course in the sciences. But, as with many entrepreneurs-in-waiting, he veered off his origin-
al course and after graduation from UBC in 1999 he decided to take a position in Kelowna with, at the time, a highly successful company called Workfire. This baptism of entrepreneurial fire, if you will, lasted about a year until Workfire was bought by a large Silicon Valley corporation that invited Richards to work in its various U.S. installations in technical sales, mostly in the western United States. From 2000 to 2008, Richards was immersed in much of the U.S. company’s work environment, enjoying his success, the travel and getting married. He said that while working successfully with the large U.S. company, it was acquired by an even larger company giving way to some serious thought for a new direction for Richards and his wife. The genesis of the idea that translated into his first significant entrepreneurial venture came while he was a sales director for the U.S. com-
pany where a vision, almost an epiphany as the saying goes, came to him of an opportunity to satisfy a need in the marketplace for simple network reporting and monitoring solutions i.e.: Network management. He embraced that vision and listened to his existing customers and discovered what they wanted, needed and saw there was an unusually large market opportunity before him. Richards shared this view of his destiny with his wife and was joyously overwhelmed when his wife said: “If you see this as an opportunity for you and for us, just do it.” In 2008, the couple with their three children, moved back to Kelowna and ORIC to begin the new challenge in moving from behaving entrepreneurially within the U.S. company landscape to becoming a genuine entrepreneur himself. In the fall of 2008, after five months of excited preparation and research, Richards and two

others formed Vineyard Networks. By January 2009, there were six personnel and the team was building product. Vineyard Networks builds innovative technologies and solutions that bring network traffic monitoring and management solutions to small and medium enterprises throughout the world. What is so remarkable and easily attributed to the vision and leadership that Richards exudes when you are in the same room with him is that this new entrepreneurial venture has been highlighted in several of the leading I.T. magazines in North America as a top-10 company to watch in its field. The first few times I met Richards—before our interview—I was impressed with his commitment and pride to, and in, the team he has created at Vineyard Networks. But, then I realized this is a man who has a vision for change, not only for his life and those of his family and employees, but for our beloved Okanagan region. As the current chairman of the Okanagan Science and Technology Council (OSTEC), he has been inspirational in nurturing the amalgamation of both ORIC and OSTEC towards a new technology strategy for the region and will see our Okanagan entrepreneurs, in all sectors, achieve new possibilities for their future. Jason Richards never stops being an entrepreneurial dreamer—from building a world class company to aiding the building of a world class region in British Columbia.

Fresh lens Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Who ever said you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression sure got it right in Andrés Niño’s case. Watch a few of the Columbian film student’s short films and you’ll soon see Canadians left quite the mark on the young man when he first arrived from a place we generally consider violent. From his tale of a Jehovah’s Witness family who would rather see their son die than agree to let him have a blood transfusion, to his documentary on mixed marshall arts fighting, Niño shines a light on some of the dark realities of our own society. “I’m really, really lucky to be here,” he said, by way of assuring his interviewer as he sat down to explain how and why he created the movie he will show in the Centre for Arts and Technology film festival later this month. Kingdom of Chains is the first movie Niño ever made and its religious topic was considered pretty controversial by the school when he first approached his teachers. Nevertheless, he managed to win one of the six chances to make a film in his first quarter—of the 18 students only a select few make the first quarter project—and subsequently earn a space in the festi-
val this month. The topic was not one he had a lot of experience with. After meeting his first Jehovah’s Witness, a young woman who came to his door every Saturday morning after he arrived in Canada, the filmmaker started looking into the religion and was shocked at what he found. From problems with depression to heavy drinking and families torn apart by one person’s decision to leave the religion, Niño said he couldn’t believe the oppression some Witnesses experience when they try to assimilate with mainstream, secular culture. But when he discovered the Witnesses’ hard and fast rules against accepting blood transfusions, he knew he had a topic to make a movie. “As a filmmaker, we have to show the different sides of a society,” he said. “But even so, it is kind of challenging.” Challenging the norm seems to come naturally to this 27-year-old. Originally a journalist, Niño was working on a film festival in his hometown of Bogotá when he met the woman who would become his wife. She was a Canadian and, though he was working at his dream job on a Columbian television station, by the time the pair left, when she asked him to return with her to her native country, he decided it was worth the venture. Risking the invest-

ANDRÉS NIÑO, a film student at the Centre for Arts and Technology, in Kelowna, edits his current film Kingdom of Chains. ment in the long, exhaustive immigration process one must go through to enter Canada from a country like Columbia, he temporarily put aside his dreams to ensure his wife’s happiness. But after a year of working in construction upon arrival, his own positive outlook began to suffer. “I was a journalist in my country and then I was carrying 2X8s,” he said. He went for career counselling and settled on filmmaking, but the near
$30,000 bill to start his program initially put the counsellors off. Nevertheless when he finally convinced himself and his supporters his heart was in the arts and decided to take the plunge, he found the dramatic migration he had just taken left him with no shortage of source material. On his first night out with his new buddies in Canada, he had been taken to watch an Ultimate Fighting Championship and was astounded by the aggression and
problems it caused in the audience afterwards. The seemingly violent nature of the sport formed the topic of his next movie, a documentary on mixed marshall arts which ultimately concludes it’s not the sport, but the alcohol those watching the sport consume, which leads to the problems with MMA crowds. He is now working on a story he wrote about the ultimate femme fatale. The heroine in his next movie uses her HIV infection to get back at men
for the horrific relationship that’s destroyed her life by getting her sick. Niño acknowledges his work is definitely not the norm in the class. There are plenty of comedies and light drama’s, like Sherona Laskey’s Girl Quest, about a young journalism student displaced by her schooling and looking to make new girlfriends. The film festival should prove an entertaining way to spend an evening. Narrative, documentary and animated films
will be screened on Wednesday, Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. in the Mary Irwin Theatre at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. The evening is preceded by a live broadcast by 99.9 Sun FM and an interactive film shoot on the Kerry Park Stage, from noon to 5 p.m. the same day. Participation is free and the community is welcome to come by and put on the director’s cap. Entrance into the evening film show is $5 for adults, $3 for youth and is free for those 10 and under.

3D may kick you in the teeth, but music for Step Up ‘only mildly diverting’ STEP UP 3D: SOUNDTRACK (ATLANTIC)
This third Step Up movie has been dubbed by some as “the feet flying at your face film” for the effects. The soundtrack is a lengthy one, with 15 tracks over 55 minutes and Step Up 3D has spawned a sizeable hit with the Flo Tide and David Gueta dance/hip hop single Club Can’t Handle Me. That title is also telling about the rest of the music on this soundtrack that is almost totally clubcentric, particularly with Jesse McCartney’s feature song simply titled Up and “booty go boom boom boom, she make your boy get up.” Most of this is fairly standard dance, hip hop and techno but Jazmine Sullivan offers a cool retro ’60s girl group vibe to her Bust Your Windows— a clever revenge song that would suit Amy Winehouse perfectly. However, huge selling, multi-platinum dance oriented soundtracks like Saturday Night Fever or Dirty Dancing won’t see

MIKE POSNER: 31 MINUTES TO TAKEOFF (J RECORDS/SONY) Last week I men-
tioned how recording labels rarely invest much time in creating careers of new acts when they can just sign up the new top charting artists from Internet sites such as YouTube or iTunes. Acts like The Kings Of Leon and The Gaslight Anthem (a band to watch) all took precious time to reach their potential. Anyway, Mike Posner is one of those Internet artists who has hit the big leagues right out of the chute with his clever summer hit Cooler Than Me. This song was
an immediate club sensation and delivery makes you wonder if he is really mocking a snobby girl or is he dealing with his own insecurities. The rest of Posner’s disc offers synth pop with Please Don’t Go and some bubbly music (literally) with the follow up single Bow Chicka Wow Wow that could be from a Spongebob Squarepants soundtrack. There are plenty of ballads on 31 Minutes To Takeoff but some of them come across as a little too lightweight.

THE WHO: LIVE AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT FESTIVAL 1970 (EAGLE)
The Who released a concert album Live At Leeds, back in the day, as a stopgap measure between studio albums as they worked on their magnum opus Tommy the rock opera. Live At Leeds was a surprise runaway success turning platinum and this newly released but heavily bootlegged Live At The Isle Of Wight was recorded that same summer way back when. Forty years later these concerts sound as vital and fresh as ever and big The Who fans will be interested in the Isle Of Wight gig (reportedly recorded in front of an audience estimated at 600,000). This two-CD set with 30 tracks features just The Who as an instrumental trio with Roger Daltry singing and it proves how superb The Who could be performing the intricacies of Tommy in the early days. The CDs also include supremely tight versions of hits such as Pinball Wizard, I’m Free, Summertime Blues, Substitute, Can’t Explain and the cool mod medley of Shakin’ All Over, Spoonful and Twist And Shout. Big Who fans take note. B+ bwcmitchell@shaw.ca

Practise your one minute â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;elevatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; speech
Y
ou are thinking about volunteering. Then it is time for a well thought out and practised answer to questions like: Why do I want to volunteer? Where is my passion? What skills do I have to offer? When can I volunteer? Who do I want to serve? What do I want to gain? Think carefully about each answer and wrap them together. The combined answer needs to be brief enough to explain in one minute or less, the length of time that an average elevator ride takes. Here are three sample elevator speeches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family was burnt out in the 2003 fire and received lots of help. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m retired now and have solid administrative skills to share.

â&#x2013;ź WOON-HING MANNING
Benefit for ill artist well received Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
A community-led art show to raise money for a UBCO fine arts graduate just diagnosed with cancer, earned impressive support last week. Last Tuesday, friends and supporters of WoonHing Manning managed to pull together $15,000 from the sale of the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own works and the auction of more than 100 pieces donated by other artists.
The money is going toward Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses, who was diagnosed with bile duct cancer just weeks after completing her bachelor of fine arts degree. Manning had taken time off work to complete the life-long goal and consequently faces steep bills for medications not covered under the provincial medical plan. Her antinausea medication alone can cost $15 a pill, those who attended the show were told.
Packing the House Productions PRESENTS The Stampeders
A couple of hundred people attended the show over the course of its twoday run. It was organized by local artists Terry Tuck and Barbara Morinâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; friends who went to school with Manning. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Also Tuesday evening, the Kelowna Art Gallery, Rotary Centre for the Arts and the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra hosted

Two local start-ups advance in business competition Kelowna technology start-ups Catalyst Healthcare Ltd. and VP Process Inc. have advanced to the third round of the New Ventures BC Competition with new medical software and environmental monitoring products, respectively. The two companies joined the four-round technology business idea competition last April to learn more about commercializing their unique software programs. They are now among 25 competitors out of 138 entrants to move forward in the competition, which offers $300,000 in prize packages. Catalyst, a four-yearold company with 26 employees, has launched a medication safety and workflow solution that links residential care facilities and pharmacies. Its oneMARTM system uses time-sensitive bar coding on medication packages to ensure that patients receive the correct medication at the correct time. Additional benefits include improved communication, inventory tracking, extensive reporting and safe, standardized medication practices. VP Process is a twoyear-old company that designs and manufactures Internet-based environmental monitoring and management systems that can detect, alarm and report changes in temperature and humidity, as well as toxic and combustible gas levels and water leaks in industrial, commercial and residential markets. New Ventures BC is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The fivemonth competition is like a boot camp for business start-ups. It includes businesseducation seminars led by some of B.C.’s best business experts; networking with top professionals in business, law, finance and academia and, for competitors who make it into round three, advice and insight from mentors. Ten finalists will be announced Aug. 31 and winners will be announced Sept. 23 at a gala celebration in Vancouver. For more information, visit www.newventuresbc.com.
