W B.C. DRAGOONS

Memorial statue unveiled at Kelowna airport Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Through some of the most well-documented moments in the last 100 years, the B.C Dragoons served their country. Despite their role in history shaping battles like Vimy, Passchendaele and the Somme, however, the Okanagan military contingent and their sacrifices aren’t common knowledge to many within the community they came from. “Most don’t know much about our history,” said Retired Lt.-Col. Denis Cyr, who was among the B.C. Dragoons unveiling of a one-tonne marble statue, called Coming Home, that was presented to the city over the weekend, and brought to its final home Tuesday at the Kelowna airport. It’s the Dragoons’ hope that the statue will help more people learn about the military contingent, Cyr said. “Now everyone coming through the airport will see this,” Cyr said. “They may not realize it represents the B.C. Dragoons, but they’ll realize people from this valley leave their families and jobs and deploy to where it’s required.” Cyr came up with the idea to commission a statue that would sit in the arrivals area of the Kelowna airport just over a year ago, and its unveiling at the 100-year anniversary of the Dragoons offered cause for celebration

The statue will be on permanent display at Kelowna International Airport. among locals who keep the history of the military group that started as a calvary contingent a century ago. The occasion was also witnessed by a few who may actually keep the work of the Dragoons closer to their hearts. Several members of the 18-member Sister City delegation from Veendam, Holland, were on hand for the unveiling and they ex-

plained that the significance of Canada’s military is remembered well in their community. “I was five-years-old, living with my parents, in the small village of Appingedam,” said Hans Oterdoom. “Our home backed into a factory with German soldiers.” Canadians stormed through, bringing enforcements with them.

sued when they made contact with the Germans, Oterdoom said one soldier said a few words that meant nothing at the time, but have stuck with him ever since. “He said, ‘Well, little boy, do you like chocolates?’” he recalled. “I didn’t speak English, so I didn’t know what chocolates were.” It was a simple enough gesture, but the stark con-

trast to what else was happening made it stand out. Canada’s role in the rebuilding of Holland, in the months that followed, further raised this country’s profile. In Veendam, for example, Okanagan soldiers stayed for nine months after the war ended, helping to rebuild the community and their time there is honoured year after year through various commu-

Two drivers allegedly involved in a crash that led to the death of a prominent young leader in the Okanagan Nation are now facing Motor Vehicle Act charges. Court records show that Megan Bates, who turns 20 this year, has been charged with failing to yield right of way on a left turn, and Jeffrey Robert Penz, who is in his late 30s, has been charged with failing to stop for a yellow light at an intersection and drive without reasonable consideration in relation to the June 8, 2010, incident in West Kelowna. That evening, police have said that 33-year-old Ethan Baptiste was waiting to merge onto Highway 97 South when a northbound pickup turning off the highway onto Westlake Road and was hit by an oncoming semi. The impact caused the semi to hit the Toyota Baptiste was driving, sending the two vehicles down an embankment as the semi caught fire. See Crash A5

NEWS W FLOOD DAMAGE

Therapeutic farm hit with a financial blow Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It’s going to take more than a lucky horseshoe to get Kelowna’s Arion Therapeutic Farm back on track after the early spring runoff removed a critical bridge this week. While lessons are still underway on the 12-acre property, able-bodied and disabled students alike were forced to choose between the bumpy drive over an easement into the back of the farm or hoofing it across pieces of plywood being used as a footbridge over Priest Creek. “You try to let everybody know which way to come and not come but you can’t get everybody,” said Heather Henderson, the visionary who started the small farm in 2009. Over the weekend, Henderson and her staff were on hand to watch the generally tiny creek blow through two culverts and finally rip the property in two as it removed a section of the road that accesses the farm. Initial estimates have a straight-forward span pegged at roughly $20,000, but this might not offer the best longterm solution. “The family is not go-

ing to give the property up,” said Henderson, who has never disclosed who offered the group its lease after she went to the public pleading for a home. “What we need is an engineer who can volunteer their time,” she said. Just how tricky reconstructing the roadway and bridge will get is anyone’s guess at this point. Henderson figures it’s possible the farm could make a pitch to have a road brought along the easement, but noted that too could cost the nonprofit organization a lot of money it does not have. For the last couple of years, Henderson has been making seasonal pitches for funds from the community in an effort to provide an affordable place where people of all ages and all forms of disability—whether mental, emotional or physical— can benefit from the horses, the outdoors and, as of recent years, the small hobby farm alongside. She is helping one young woman, VernitaJane LaHue, make a bid for the 2012 Canadian Paralympic team in dressage and employs several mentally and physically challenged people with the help of federal grant

On Tuesday, she was fielding interviews from reporters between lessons with no time to shut her operations down. She said the creek across the property the venture moved to in 2010, is normally just a trickle. No one saw this coming, even with the flood warn-

ings due to the unusually high snowpack this season, she said. Arion Therapeutic Farm currently includes a string of programs from farm discovery tours to birthday parties, school groups, parents’ mornings for those with disabled children, tutoring and healing groups in addition

to the therapeutic riding lessons. Henderson has also brought several horses onto the farm as boarders to generate revenue. She said she needs to find the expertise and money to repair the damage quickly, as many people are now depending on the work done there.

She is looking for engineers, donations of materials and money. Information on the farm can be found at www.arionfarm.org and Henderson can be contacted at 250-864-7756 or email heather-arionfarm@shaw.ca. jsmith@ kelownacapnews.com

Councillors say part-time job status misleading Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

When a citizen task force’s recommendation for a two year council pay-freeze was presented Monday, the lengthy conversation it sparked was less about restricting dollars and cents and more about the arduous workload associated with public office. “You have to be here five days as week. Nobody told me (it would actual-

ly be) seven days a week, which is fine—that’s just the way I am,” said Mayor

Sharon Shepherd, when she took a chance to explain the rigors of her po-

sition. Dealing with event invitations or speech writing, she pointed out, could be a full-time job in itself. Coun. Graeme James also acknowledged the burden, and said the mayor, “lives and breathes” Kelowna. Coun. Michele Rule later pointed out Shepherd works “wellover full-time.” And, she added, councillors work well over part-time hours as well, which is a fact that went unacknowledged in the

task force report. When she first considered running for city council, Rule said she thought the minimum requirement of working every Monday and every second Tuesday would offer a chance to take public office part time and get a part-time job at Starbucks. At the beginning of what has turned into her two terms as a city councillor, she realized the extensive committee work made her run in politics

a full-time pursuit. Although, she admitted, not everyone has taken on as much as she has. “The fact of the matter is that some of us are able to put in more hours than others,” she said, referring to the fact that some councillors are employed or run businesses. “I’m one of those who puts in a lot of additional time…,” Rule said. See Misleading A4

Police have identified the person whose body was found in Okanagan Lake on Friday as a young Kelowna man who was reported missing last month. The body of Justin Craik, 19, was found by a paddle boarder approximately 200 metres away from the public dock at City Park just after 7:30 a.m. last Friday. Craik was last seen at his Mills Road home on April 1, when he said he was going downtown. He left without any money or his medication, which he took for schizophrenia. His disappearance prompted several public pleas from the police for information about his whereabouts. The exact cause of Craik’s death remains under investigation, say police, but an autopsy conducted Saturday has ruled out foul play. The police investigations into Craik’s disappearance and the discovery of his body have now been concluded. The Coroner’s Service is continuing to work to confirm the cause of Craik’s death, police say. cweirda@kelownacapnews.com

ing terms, they wouldn’t advocate for their own pay raises or health-benefit packages, but the terms that their work was evaluated by the task force weren’t appropriate. “For the last 23 years on council, I’ve always accepted the recommendations of the remuneration task force,” said Coun. Robert Hobson, adding that it was a consistent stance even in a year when council’s wages were frozen and the mayor’s rose. “It’s not that I want to disagree, they do represent a cross-section of the community, and I take their concerns about fiscal constraint to heart.” He then put forward a motion to table the volunteer task force’s recommendations and call for more information on how their wages stack up against their counterparts in like-sized communities, which was accepted by the rest of council. Len Pelland, the spokesperson for the volunteer committee that pitched in 40 hours apiece to complete the report, had to field more than an hour of questions on both the findings and methodology used. And with each question Pelland answered, he pointed out the decision to freeze council’s pay and to extend a 50 per cent health benefits package to the mayor alone was born from a desire to have city politicians show leadership in tough economic times. Further supporting their decision, he said, there are employment opportunities unique to the office that offset the pay freeze. Volunteer responsibilities weren’t factored into their decision as they considered them to be civic duty, just like taking on a role in the task force. The mayor will be paid $89,660.08 for 2011 and councillors $31,381.02, with one-third of that being tax exempt. The committee thought that councillors getting cell phones, computers, office space and administrative support to help with city business were bonuses of their elected position, and could be factored into the costs. Also, six of the eight councillors and the mayor sit on the regional district board and get another $14,000 per year for that role. Again, one-third of that is also tax free. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Richter/Clement condo development up for debate at public hearing Plans for a 26-unit residential development slated for the corner of Richter Street and Clement will be up for debate at a June 14 public hearing, council heard Monday. “The proposal is a welcome addition to an area deserving of redevelopment and could serve to catalyze further investment in the neighbourhood,” read a report on the development.

Two drivers facing charges Baptiste’s vehicle was pinned beneath the semi and despite efforts of bystanders to get Baptiste and his passenger out of the Toyota, Baptiste was pronounced dead a short time later. Baptiste was born and raised in Oliver on the Osoyoos Indian Band Reserve and was a PhD candidate at UBC Okanagan at the time of this death. The father of three spent time instructing his children in the practices and traditions of Okanagan people and was also committed to sharing his cultural knowledge at local post-secondary institutions, Okanagan National Alliance officials said following his death.

Roundtable forum to initiate action plan for business growth Barry Gerding EDITOR

Any discussion about creating new opportunities for people to start their own businesses has fallen on deaf ears at the provincial and federal government levels in recent years. So Joel Young and the business group he helped found, the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society, want to change that attitude. The society this week has announced plans to host a roundtable discussion on Sept. 7 in Kelowna, attended by many of the local economic movers and shakers to discuss and agree to a consensus of what can be done to spark entrepreneurial business growth. A task force would then be struck to implement an entrepreneurship strategy coupled with a three-year action plan. “This is not about going after funding dollars and cents at this point,” said Young, an entrepre-

neur columnist for the Capital News. “If we get to that point, and I think we will, then an action plan will be dropped at the doors of the Okanagan municipalities, the federal government, the province and other stakeholders to move forward with.” Young says while government officials talk about the need to create jobs for young people, the reality is that Okanagan labour market wages don’t pay enough to keep people here. “You need two or three jobs to make ends meet, not to get ahead but just to make ends meet,” Young said. The purpose of the roundtable is to develop a strategy, Young said, that will create an environment where people can follow their own entrepreneurial dreams rather than rely on high paying private sector jobs that don’t widely exist in the Okanagan. Young said he was making some headway with former small business minister Diane

Blonzy when the Calgary MP was minister of state for small business and tourism. But she was demoted by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a cabinet shuffle, and the ideas she and Young had been discussing were dropped. He said small business ministry bureaucrats haven’t shared his interest in promoting entrepreurism in Canada, never mind the Okanagan. “There is a global National Entrepreneur Week that 100 nations have signed on to support, started by the U.S. and Britain, but Canada is not a part of that,” Young said. On the provincial side, Young said small business ministry cabinet and bureaucratic officials are saying the same things from five years ago. “The ministers change but they’re all saying the same thing Rick Thorpe told me five or six years ago. It’s the same rhetoric. The government needs to demonstrate some real

leadership in helping to develop a program that supports entrepreneurial endeavours,” said Young, noting that he hopes a well thought out strategy and action plan to implement it will change some attitudes in Victoria and Ottawa. Locally, Young said regional efforts have been made in the last decade to promote regional business development in the Okanagan, but none of those initiatives have been able to move forward. He noted that all the Central Okanagan mayors have offered their support to his society’s roundtable. “Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd was the first mayor to sign on,” he said. The society will hold a formal media conference on June 7, which will be attended by Frank Lonardelli, CEO of the Harvest Group of Companies in Calgary, who is scheduled to be the keynote speaker for the roundtable discussion in September.

NEWS W CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT

Police self-investigations to end Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

The provincial government on Tuesday announced legislation that would create a civilian-led office to conduct criminal investigation into incidents involving police. “It is critical that British Columbians have confidence in our police and that the police are accountable to them,” said Premier Christy Clark. “This legislation is an historic step for policing in B.C. and will strengthen public faith in the dedicated officers who work so hard to keep our families safe.” The move was welcomed by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, which says it has long been advocating for the end of police self investigation. The B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police has also called for an independent agency to investigate alle-

gations of misconduct by police officers, with Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon making that public plea on behalf of the association back in 2009. The issue of police investigating themselves has been a contentious one in recent years, in particular following the 2007 tasering death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport. More recently, the issue was raised again locally, after RCMP Const. Geoffrey Mantler was caught on video kicking a suspect in the face earlier this year. The idea of a civilian investigation office was recommended by Justice Thomas Braidwood a year ago, following a commission that looked into the Dziekanski death. According to the province, the newly announced investigations office finds its roots in that recommendation and will have its powers entrenched in legislation.

Its mandate will include criminal investigations into police-related incidents involving death or serious harm, as well as other serious incidents. It is to be the lead investigative agency for such cases, and its members will gather evidence and interview witnesses. It will be led by a civilian who has never been a police officer and will look into incidents both within the RCMP and independent municipal departments. The office will report to the Ministry of Attorney General, rather than the Solicitor General, which is responsible for policing. “The establishment of this new office should help build public confidence that allegations against police are investigated in an impartial way,” said Attorney General Barry Penner. It is expected the office will be operational by the end of this year.

Running for council to get tougher Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Unwieldy municipal ballots stacked with the names of dozens of political hopefuls may fade into distant memory with the implementation of a new elections bylaw. “Before we required two nominators, now you have to have 25 before you can get your name on the ballot,” said Stephen Fleming, Kelowna’s city clerk. Fleming explained the legislation around the nomination process was changed in 2008 and when that happened numerous municipalities bumped up the requirements. Kelowna council, on the other hand, opted to stay at the bare minimum. The following election there were 30 candidates for city council and just as many in the subse-

quent by-election. “We got a lot of questions about why there were so many people on the ballot,” said Fleming, noting there’s no way to tell whether there will be any changes in the number of candidates with the change. “Everyone who ran got more than 25

votes, so I have no idea what impact it will have, but we’ll find out in October.” Before passing first reading of the bylaw, Coun. Charlie Hodge joked that he may have a hard time finding 25 friends, legally able to vote in the city, who may want

to nominate him. But, it’s a change for the better. “This is a good litmus test for people considering whether they’ll run,” he said. There were no other significant changes to the process, and those who want to run will still have to ante up $100.

W OUR VIEW

Help smokers start stopping

t wasn’t long ago that smoking was not only a tolerated habit, but was also encouraged as an acceptable way to unwind from the stress of the day. From airplanes to bars and restaurants, people from every socio-economic background were targeted by tobacco companies selling the idea of smoking. When studies began to prove the link between smoking and major health problems such as

heart disease, lung cancer and stroke, it was too late to stop smoking from becoming part of our culture. To this day, smoking is still regarded by medical definitions as a lifestyle choice rather than an addiction. But an initiative from the B.C. government aims to reduce smoking and its effects that cost the economy billions in lost wages and health-care expenses annually. Premier Christy Clark an-

nounced that smoking cessation tools such as nicotine patches and gum would be paid for under the province’s prescription drug program. While critics decry the move as political posturing from a new premier trying to win not only a byelection but soon a provincial election, it is a step in the right direction to reducing smoking. Over the next four months, Clark will develop the program further by consulting with other

stakeholder groups. Studies show that people who invest financially in their own treatment are more successful, which could indicate a rebate upon successful completion of a program might be more effective. Further support, like counselling for behavioural and emotional triggers—having that cup of coffee with your mid-morning smoke—would also help British Columbians kick the habit for good.

But you know what they who, if re-elected, will get the potensay about folks who claim it’s not tial raise, it’s about as arm’s length as about they money? More often than you can get. not, it is.

Councillors want you to know how hard they work. I covered Kelowna city council for 10 years and can vouch for them. Most work hard, put in long hours and treat the job as much more than part-time. Even when they are not working, by the very fact they live in the community, are available to anyone who sees them in a grocery store and wants to talk about city issues—they’re working. But the fact remains, for the purposes of remuneration, in Kelowna the mayor’s job is considered fulltime and the councillors’ jobs are considered part-time. If council doesn’t like that, it should change the classification and pay scale accordingly

—and see how that sits with residents. In Kelowna, the mayor is currently paid $87,902 and each councillor received $30,756 plus an extra $350 for each month they serve as deputy mayor. One third of the salary is tax free. Councillors get cell phones, computers, office space and administrative support to help with city business. All this on top of outside, fulltime jobs for several of them. And to make matters more lucrative, six of the eight councillors and the mayor sit on the regional district board and get another $14,000 per year for that duty. One third of that is also tax-free. But when the remuneration com-

mittee recommended a two-year pay freeze, all hell broke loose at City Hall. A two-hour discussion resulted in council tabling the issue until more information is gathered about what other councillors elsewhere make. But their public chest-thumping is likely to land flat with a public who has no current appetite for paying politicians more. Council had the right approach to dealing with the remuneration issue, one that has worked well in the past. Messing with it now just makes them look greedy.

W FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Elections produce lots of bad examples To the editor: I enjoyed reading Kathy Michael’s piece on the election of Ms. Brosseau in Quebec. (Don’t Blame the Elected for the Faults of the Electorate, May 13 Capital News.) Since her election she has appeared publicly and spoke only French. While her fluency

leaves room for improvement she is making the effort. I too wish her the best of luck. For the record, the world is full of examples of elected representatives which proved that the electorate gets what it deserves. Look no further than the last U.S. president, or if you really want a stretch, Adolph Hitler was

elected in Germany in 1933. (I hate using Hitler references in modern debates but it seems to be relevant here). Alex Carr, Kelowna

‘Hacks’ quick to ingratiate themselves to Harper To the editor: I see all the local hacks are lining up to ingratiate themselves with the winner of the federal election. Their articles on what a great man he is are the only way they see of feathering their own nests. I know you all have no choice in this, however, you are wasting your time. Stephen Harper does not care about any of you, or any other Canadians. Remember the timing of the private meeting between Harper and Obama? Remember how quickly the personal attack ads started against the other parties right after it? I wonder if they use the same advertising company—sorry—I meant I wonder which companies the Canadian and American taxpayers paid for? Remember Harper’s quick return to table a budget so ridiculous he had to know it would be defeated and he would be able to call an election he knew he would win with the gigantic head start Obama gave him? This is how I was able to predict both the outcome of the election and make a lot of money in my investment portfolio at the same time. Does anyone remember how quickly Harper followed Obama’s orders to expend obsolete ordinance on Libya? How many Canadians have already died defending American oil and mineral interests in Afghanistan? How many more will continue to die in the next four years? How much more taxpayer

monies will be used to pay for oil and ammunition? Who cares? Not Harper. He knows, as I do, that he has it made. He will be known as the greatest Canadian prime minister ever by American historians, who have never let facts get in the way of their history. Remember how they won the war of 1812? Once again, though, intelligent Canadians are well ahead of them, not that they care. We have already used our democratic system to fairly decide who the greatest Canadian of all time was, and we did choose a politician. Among all our Canadian icons—people like David Suzuki, Pierre Trudeau and Pierre Berton—the clear winner was the one person who truly cared about his neighbours, family and friends. Our people have spoken, clearly and rightly. Congratulations, Tommy Douglas! One of these writers admits he had no clue as to what John Diefenbaker was talking about when he realized that he would lose the next election because he was not “one of them.” Anyone who visits a local library only has to ask for assistance to find the Canadian history section, where they will find all the biased and unbiased information they need to make their own decisions. “They” are the famous “old boys club” who knew they would make much more money getting paid off by American defense contractors and politicians than by backing the Canadian companies and tax-

COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com Re: Waste of Tax Dollars, Time Debating HST, May 11 Capital News. The problem I have is not necessarily with the combining of taxes (though the higher prices paid for certain services do hit the pocket book), but how we were lied to by the Liberals about this tax not being on the radar during the elections. They swindled us very knowingly and if we let our government get away with this then it is carte blanche for them to screw over the citizens of B.C. at their whim. I have yet to notice any businesses pass along any tax savings that they have received, nor any significant job creation. Since when do we believe that big business has our best interests at heart? Why would we support a tax that benefits them while burdening us? Shaun Cameron ••• Re: Need to Develop Programs that Financial-

ly Help Students, May 15 Capital News. The response to (columnist Jane Musken’s) self-reliance view is that it may cost the taxpayers (and society) more to allow students to make poor decisions, have to struggle, etc., but this is a slipperyslope defence that inevitably leads to a lifetime of excessive dependence on “external counsel,” rather than developing the ability to think critically and make good decisions on your own (which is what our post-secondary system should be about). While Muskens could provide the raw data, it is likely that the college has substantially more fulltime non-instructional employees than full-time instructional employees. This type of pyramid is upside down, and highlights the inefficiencies in the system. I would welcome a release of the college’s annual budget with line item detail so the public can make a more reasoned evaluation of how money is being allocated.

As someone who has spent nearly two decades learning and teaching in the post-secondary system, I can assure the public that the levels of basic math and language skills for students entering the post-secondary system have declined dramatically, and continue to decline. Thus, the elementary and secondary school systems are not adequately preparing students for the “real world.” As long as post-secondary institutions continue to fund broadly mandated, poorly defined and expensive non-instructional activities to help offset whatever student deficiencies exist from failures in the elementary and secondary school systems, there will be no incentive to the elementary and secondary school systems to reverse their declining trends and improve the quality of the students they are sending into the post-secondary system. (Nor will the public be encouraged to critically examine the problems, as they will just be ‘covered up’ with funding at the post-secondary level for non-instructional

payers who designed, built and flew the best jet fighter ever built, the Avro Arrow. Because Diefenbaker fought hard against the destruction of the entire program, he knew there was no more hope for his desire to lead our country or economy, especially after all the Canadian engineers and scientists who developed the iconic aircraft were forced to pursue their careers in the U.S., with much higher pay and less taxes. This was the start of the well known “brain drain,” which continues to this day. Now that smart Harper has put us in billions of dollars of unnecessary debt to lick the hands of the automakers and the banks, I wonder which of them will take care of him when his four year mandate is over? It sure didn’t take long for Mike Harris to get his dream retirement job with Magna, the autoparts company. Great strategic thinking Mike! Who cares about all the Canadian workers who lost their jobs as long as you are doing well? Don’t worry, writers. I am sure Harper will show you exactly how much he appreciates all of you jumping on his bandwagon so early. So sad no one else gives a fig. We have our own lives to live, free and happy that our tax dollars won’t be wasted on unnecessary elections for a while, since you have put us in such deep debt already. Thanks for nothing, again. Doug Maves, Kelowna

activities that should more properly be termed “remedial secondary school” activities). Rather than lower the post-secondary bar to the students and whatever the elementary and secondary school systems want to provide, there is a muchneeded reverse onus whereby the students and the primary/secondary level educational systems need to rise to a globally competitive post-secondary standard. Once this is achieved, the funding efficiencies in the post-secondary system can be real-

ized, and there will not be justification for the neverending “we need more money” argument. Sierra Rayne Re: Need to Develop Programs that Financially Help Students, May 15 Capital News.

NEWS W ACCIDENT

Guilty plea to MVA offences may result in jail time Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

A Kelowna driver is facing the prospect of jail time for mowing into three pedestrians following an argument with her husband. Sandra Curliss, 45, was scheduled to go to trial on Monday on three counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and one count of failing to remain at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm. But instead, Curliss pleaded guilty to the Motor Vehicle Act offences of driving without due care and attention and failing to remain at the scene of

an accident. Crown gave sentencing submissions Monday, saying they and defence were seeking a nine month jail term for Curliss. Defence will give their submissions in August, to allow Curliss time to make arrangements for the care of her children following sentencing, the court heard. It was back on Dec. 31, 2008, about 30 minutes before midnight, that three friends were walking along Gordon Drive when the driver of a truck failed to negotiate a turn near Thornloe Crescent, drove onto the sidewalk and hit the three women. The truck did not stop.

One woman was hit by the quarter panel of the truck and was able to get home, tell her husband what happened, and call 911. The other two women suffered â&#x20AC;&#x153;severe life threatening injuriesâ&#x20AC;? to their legs and ankles, Crown counsel indicated. Both women suffered numerous fractures and had to have a number of rods, screws and plates put in their legs. A dog the women had been walking perished following the crash. A traffic reconstructionist said that after the vehicle returned to the road, it drove onto the centre island on the street

She contacted a lawyer and then arranged to meet with the RCMP. If not for her coming forward, it is unlikely police would have been able to find enough evidence to charge her with the crash, the court heard. On the night of the crash, Curliss said she was driving her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck, trying to beat him

home after they had an argument where the topic of divorce was raised. Curliss told an officer she thought she had slowed enough when she approached the curve and believed she â&#x20AC;&#x153;scaredâ&#x20AC;? the women with the sound of her brakes. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think she drove onto the sidewalk and was not aware she hit the women, Curliss told the police. Since realizing she was responsible for the crash, Curliss has wanted to apologize to the wom-

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeking a total of nine months in jail for the two offences, a twoyear driving prohibition and $4,000 in fines.

Treatment, involving a two week long period of vaccinations, is most effective when administered as soon as possible after exposure.

Without treatment to prevent its onset, rabies is almost always fatal. Interior Health advises that all contact with bats should be taken seriously. “Anyone who has handled a bat should contact their Public Health Unit or their physician right away,” said Jeyes. “Because bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws their scratches or bites are not always visible and in some cases it can take weeks or even months for

bies to humans; however, vaccinating your pets will protect them from rabies. If you have been exposed: • Thoroughly wash any bite wounds with soap and water • Contact your local Public Health Unit or family doctor immediately • Safely contain the bat to prevent others from being exposed • Keep the bat in a safe location until public health can arrange to pick it up and test it for rabies. When traveling abroad: • Be aware of the risk of rabies in the country you are visiting • If you are bitten by an animal and started on the rabies vaccine, keep all documentation you were provided. It will need to be reviewed by public health when you return home • Note the type of clinic or hospital you visited. This information will be used for public health officials to determine if you received the same standard of protection that you would have received at home.

symptoms to appear. “Early treatment is essential in preventing the disease from progressing—it’s very important to get checked out as soon as possible.” Interior Health offers these tips to protect yourself: Do not touch live or dead bats. Make your home or cabin “bat proof.” Keep doors and windows closed, make sure window screens don’t have any holes and keep the attic area free of bats by keeping all vents properly screened and by closing off other openings. If you find a live bat in a room of your home, open the window and close interior doors until the bat leaves. Seek professional batcontrol advice (from a pest control or wildlife specialist) if your work or home is inhabited by bats. Avoid locations, like caves, or activities where bats are likely to be found. If you have a pet dog, cat or ferret, make sure they are vaccinated regularly against rabies. Pets that were born and raised in B.C. pose a very low risk of transmitting ra-

Tired of changing your eyeglasses to go outdoors?

Donate blood before May long weekend, get a herb As donations decrease around long weekends due to many people travelling out of the city, the demand for blood and blood products remains constant. So Canadian Blood Services and Kelowna’s Art Knapp store would like you to plant your legacy by donating blood this upcoming Victoria Day long weekend. “Every time a person gives blood, they make an immediate impact on their community,” said CBS community development coordinator Tammie Watson. “Not only are they saving the life of up to three patients in need, they are positively impacting the

lives of the friends and family members of those patients too. “It’s an amazing— and simple—way to plant your legacy throughout your lifetime.” To commemorate the life-giving act, Art Knapp will offer one four-inch herb plant to any person willing to donate blood at the Kelowna blood donor clinic on Thursday, May 19, in advance of the long weekend. “We hope these plants will act as a reminder for Kelowna’s generous blood donors of the legacy they planted for those in need during a difficult time of year,” noted Watson. “And we also hope it

NEWS W ACUPUNCTURE

Night sweating can interfere with a good night’s sleep N ight sweats are episodes of excessive night time sweating in spite of the temperature around you. It is a fairly common problem, with many people experiencing them from time to time. Night sweating usually isn’t considered a serious medical concern, however, it can be uncomfortable when it occurs regularly or interferes with sleep. Night sweats can be a side effect of certain med-

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman ications such as antidepressants, hypoglycemic agents, temperature-regulating medications or hormone therapy. Many women also experience night sweating during menopause.

In some cases, underlying medical conditions can lead to night sweats, such as infections, cancer, nervous system disorders, or problems with the body’s endocrine (hormone-producing) system. It’s always important to get symptoms checked out by your doctor to be sure that they aren’t a sign of something more serious. For people experiencing night sweats, acupuncture can offer relief. Typically with com-

plaints like night sweats, there will be other accompanying symptoms relating to our body temperature, our appetite and digestion, our energy and our sleep. These symptoms help an acupuncturist to determine which pattern of imbalance is the true cause of the complaint. From a Western medical perspective they may all be lumped together as the same condition (such as “headaches” or “insomnia”), whereas in Chi-

nese medicine the condition will be broken down into a number of different types based on the underlying imbalance. Knowing the specific imbalance helps us to treat the problem very effectively and resolve the symptoms. With night sweating, there are a few different patterns of imbalance that can be at work. The most common pattern involved in night sweating is a yin deficiency, often combined with

too much internal heat. With this type of pattern, the night sweats would be frequent with a tendency to feel warmer in the later afternoon, reddening of the cheeks, heat in the chest and hot hands and feet. Night sweating can also be due to a heart blood deficiency, with night sweating that is accompanied by symptoms of heart palpitations, insomnia, pale complexion, shortness of breath and fatigue. A third type of night sweating is due to spleen qi-energy deficiency with internal damp accumulation, leading to night sweats with headaches with a “head full of cotton” feeling, heavy limbs, poor appetite and slippery or slimy feeling in the mouth. As you can see, with night sweats there are a

number of different situations that can occur. By determining which type of pattern is at the root of the problem, acupuncture can help the body to correct the imbalance and resolve the symptoms. Treatments can help to rebalance the body, which will in turn begin to resolve the night sweats. In addition, acupuncture can help improve and resolve accompanying symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, appetite, headaches, or poor sleep. It is simply a matter of redirecting the body’s energy and to encourage the body’s own natural healing processes. James Kaufman is a registered acupuncturist at Okanagan Acupuncture Centre, 1625 Ellis St., in downtown Kelowna. www.okanaganacupuncture. com

Celebrate Museums Day in Kelowna The Kelowna Museums Society plans to recognize International Museums Day, which is today (May 18).

A few hours could make a huge difference in the lives of Kelowna caregivers. The Family Caregiver Series, starting on June 2, will explain effective ways to care for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. “For family caregivers, the commitment can last many years, and can bring with it high stress levels and illness,” explained Jennifer Hamil-

ton, the regional support and education coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C., which is putting on the series. “It’s very important for caregivers to take care of themselves. They need to eat well, exercise and get enough rest so they can remain healthy.” Those points will be emphasized during the workshops, which are designed for family mem-

bers who are caring for a person with dementia. The series runs on June 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Hawthorn Park, 867 KLO Rd.

Plastic trays, flower pots can be recycled Remember to lift the blue lid of your recycling cart after you’ve done any gardening around your home. If you’re not going to re-use them, those plastic flowerpots and plant trays can all be recycled! Everything from large nursery flowerpots for shrubs and trees to small planting trays for annual bedding plants, perennials, vegetables, and herbs can all be recycled. Simply rinse or wipe

out the dirt and put the plastics in your recycling cart. These plastic pots and trays can also be taken to your nearest recycling depot. Regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart said: “All household plastics 1 through 7 are accepted in the curbside recycling program, and these plastics from your plants are no different. “Just ensure your garden pots or trays are

cleaned of all dirt before you recycle them. “Unfortunately, the little plastic tags that identify the plants can’t be recycled—they’re too small for workers at Cascades Recovery to pick up off a moving conveyor, so the tags go into regular garbage.” Deanne Stephenson, operations manager of Cascades Recovery (the facility where all our recycling ends up), added: “The markets where

the plastics are shipped to for recycling are watching closely for quality issues, so keeping the plastics clear of dirt, wooden stakes, metal twist ties or other contaminants is essential. Any help residents can provide in this would be welcome.” For more info on recycling, go to regionaldistrict.com/recycle, email recycle@cord.bc.ca, or call the Regional Waste Reduction Office at 250469-6250.

Polack ponders Top recruits impressive at Sun camp return to gridiron W SUN

Warren Henderson

STAFF REPORTER

It wasn’t as if Devon Kozar needed a lot of convincing. Fellow Manitobans Danny Turek, Tommy Howes and Dayton White had already sold the 6-foot-4, 275-pound defensive lineman on the perks of living and playing football in the Okanagan. Still, Kozar wanted to experience Kelowna and the Okanagan Sun for himself before making a final decision. It didn’t take long for the Portage la Prairie native to make up his mind. “The moment I got off the plane, it was top of the line hospitality, the camp was great, the weather, the city is great…everything about it,” said Kozar, 20. “I know some of the guys already and the others all welcomed me. As far as it looks now I’ll be here for the 2011 season and I’m pretty excited.” Kozar was one of close to 80 new recruits to take to the field Saturday and Sunday for the 2011 edition of the Sun’s spring camp. After a short stay at Minot State in 2009, Kozar red-shirted last season with the University of Manitoba Bisons. Sun GM Howie Zaron looks for Kozar to make an immediate impact. “He’s a big kid, strong, and he’ll be an anchor down the middle of the D-line for us,” said Zaron. “He looked really good.”

Jeremy Joseph Another newcomer to turn heads on the weekend was quarterback Jeremy Joseph, a Winnipeg native who spent last season with St. Francis Xavier’s CIS program in Halifax. With incumbent starter Bobby Davis returning for his No. 1 job, head coach Jason Casey said the Sun will have the luxury of employing two capable pivots. “Bobby and JJ are so different in some ways,” said Casey. “They both read really well, and out of the pocket so dangerous. Jeremy will make guys miss, and Bobby will run them over. The thing is they are both leaders, you could see that they both have the experience that you need in a quarterback if you are going to win a championship. They both coach up their teammates, that’s huge for us. They run the show when they are on the field.” Among the dozens of talented new recruits to be invited back for main camp in July, GM Zaron also liked what he saw from Brennan Van Nistelrooy, an agile defen-

The 18-year-old Van Nistelrooy not only enjoyed the camp itself, but is also intrigued by the potential of the team one day moving up to the university level in Canada West. “To hear that they

might be going CIS in a few years really is interesting,” said Van Nistelrooy, a Grade 12 student at Catholic Central in Lethbridge. “I’ve always wanted to play university ball, but this could be a good start for me, play a couple of years of junior in a great place, then

see what happens. I might take a little time to decide, but hopefully I’ll make the decision to come and play here.” Among the many local first-timers to leave an positive impression with the Sun GM were two Mt. See Sun A25

A few weeks ago, Evin Polack wasn’t even thinking about football. Now the former high school all-star with the Kelowna Owls is considering a return to the gridiron with the Okanagan Sun. Polack—a 5-foot-10, 220-pound linebacker who played at Simon Fraser from 2007 to 2009— made a last-minute decision to attend the B.C. Football Conference club’s spring camp roster over the weekend in Kelowna. Polack took last season off from football to play rugby at SFU, but found his interest in the game was rekindled after watching the NFL draft earlier this month. “I wasn’t missing football all that much, but then when I saw (West Kelowna’s) Danny Watkins at the draft, it got me jacked up a little bit, so I decided to come to camp,” said Polack, 21. “I just wanted to look at my options, give it a try and see what the Sun was all about. I used this camp as a gauge to see if I wanted to play again and I had fun.” “It’s seems to be a fairly well-run program.” With veteran linebackers such Charles Henderson and Aaron Goddard having graduated from the program, Sun head coach Jason Casey said a player of Polack’s skill and experience would be a nice

Evin Polack addition to the club. “A guy with CIS experience, he’d be able to come right in and make plays for us,” said Casey. “He’d sure help our young guys out, too.” Polack said his decision to play will likely come down to a choice between football and his education. The workload between the two proved a formidable challenge for Polack at SFU. “I’m thinking about starting school again in the fall, so I’m debating if I do football I’d postpone school until the spring,” said Polack, who played centre, linebacker and fullback in high school. “I learned the lesson at SFU that it’s definitely difficult to do both. I’m try to figure out whether I want to put all my time into football, or school. That’s the consideration right now.” I used this camp as a gauge to see if I wanted to play again and I had fun.” Although he has never attended Sun camp in the past, Polack does have a connection with the local team. His dad, Wes Polack, played linebacker for the Sun in 1981.

Challenge takes PCSL opener A’s split games with Reds A pair of goals by U21 call-up Enzo Paal and the goal keeping of Colin Hasick paced the Okanagan Challenge to a 2-0 victory in the opening game of the 2011 Pacific Coast Soccer League season. The Challenge knocked off the hometown Kamloops Excel on Saturday afternoon at Hillside Stadium in a game that was designated as the Sieben Cup—an annual meeting for bragging rights between the two cities. “I think the guys played real hard, and they did well for a lot of them not having played together before,” said rookie head coach Kelly Wolverton. “All of the guys performed well, and there were two or three performances that put us over the top. It was a grewat result.” With Paal providing the bulk of the offense and teenaged keep-

er Hasick making several key saves, youth played a key role in the victory. Paal’s first goal in the second half was set up by U18 player Cole Berry. Paal added an insurance marker with a header off a corner later in the half. As for Hasick, Wolverton was duly impressed with the Grade 12 student from Immaculata. “Colin made four or five bigtime saves. For a young keeper, he made some good reaction saves. The kicking is important, too, and he handled that part of his game very well.” Wolverton also liked the play of the Challenge’s back line which featured a pair of players who had little previous experience at those positions. As for captain Carson Gill, who

hasn’t played for two seasons due to an injury, Wolverton was pleased with the veteran defender’s effort. “He played real well,” Wolverton said of Gill. “It took him a little time to get his bearings, but once he did he looked real strong out there. He’s a good organizer and he talks to the guys, so he’s going to be real important for us this year.” Because training and conditioning opportunities have been relatively sparse this spring, the Challenge will play a mid-week exhibition game against the Okanagan FC U21 team. Okanagan will return to PCSL action this Saturday in Coquitlam against Khalsa FC. The Challenge’s first home action is Saturday, May 28 at the Apple Bowl against the Vancouver Thunderbirds.

The Okanagan Athletics got back on the winning side in the B.C. Premier Baseball League on the weekend splitting a four game set with the Coquitlam Reds in Kelowna. The Athletics snapped an eight game losing skid by winning the opener and the final game of a four game weekend series with Coquitlam at Elks Stadium. The A’s improved to 6-12 on the season and more importantly, saw several good pitching performances as well as some offense after two losing weekends. The Athletics closed the weekend set strong, scoring three times in the third inning and adding four more runs in the fourth to earn a 7-5 win on Sunday, earning the split off the four game series. Jeff May scattered six hits over six innings of work to earn his first win

of the season. Offensively, Brett McClure drove in three runs while Dawson Yates and Tanner Morache each drove in two. The Athletics opened the series with a tight 2-1 win on Saturday when Colin Currie singled to start the final inning and then scored the winning run. Jake Maters threw three scoreless innings and didn’t allow a hit in relief to earn his third win of the year. The Reds won the middle two games of the series and improved its record to 9-8 on the season. Pitcher Nolan Handley did all he could but suffered a 1-0 loss to the Reds in game two. Handley struck out seven and allowed just four hits over seven innings but the A’s offense couldn’t get on the board as Handley fell to 1-2 on the season. In an 8-4 loss in game three, the Reds scored sev-

en runs over the final three innings to beat Okanagan. Brandon Sonnenberg was 2-for-2 at the plate and had one RBI for the Athletics while Tanner Collins took the loss.

JUNIOR ATHLETICS

The Okanagan Junior Athletics handed the first place Langley Blaze its first loss of the season with a 6-4 win on Sunday at Boucherie field in B.C. Junior Baseball League play. Eric McGinn earned the win on the mound as the Athletics scored three times in the third and three more in the fourth en route to the win. Unfortunately for the Jr. Athletics, Langley won the three other games in the weekend set, 6-1, 9-1 and 4-3. First place Langley is 17-1 on the season while Okanagan fell to 7-13.

United sweep opponents

r t

The Kelowna United Dynamite swept a pair of games over the weekend in Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League U12 girls action. In Game 1, Kelowna beat Vernon 2. In the second, it was the Dynamite over Penticton 1 by a 3-0 score. Tatum Tataryn had a big weekend figuring in all the scoring with four goals and four assists.

STOP…The goaltender is equal to the task in stopping an attacking forward during the annual Play On

ball hockey tournament Saturday in downtown Kelowna. More than 120 teams from across B.C. and Alberta competed in the three-day event which organizers say is growing each year.

Sun expect up to 90 at main camp Sun from A24 Boucherie grads: running back Mikael Maloff and defensive back Wes Geisler. As for the 40 or so veterans who attended spring camp, perhaps none impressed the Sun staff more than Daniel Xavier. Unable to break through as a running back his first three seasons, the fourthyear Vancouver product switched to linebacker last season. But in Sunday’s scrimmage—with last season’s No. 1 back Armand Bokitch sidelined—Xavier proved an elusive tar-

Daniel Xavier get when running the ball, scoring on a 70-yard touchdown run. Jason Casey was duly impressed. “He’s been a long time coming, to come out of the shadows to be a run-

ning back,” Casey said of Xavier. “He was expected to stand out and he came forward.” Several veterans did not dress for camp due to injuries or other commitments. Safety Daylon Pommier had just returned from Montreal and a visit to Concordia University where former Sun teammates Max Caron and Paul Spencer are both current members of the Stingers. Pommier, a Rutland grad, is as of yet undecided on whether to play his fifth and final season of junior ball, or begin his CIS career.

“You can’t fault guys for going out to test the waters, they should take the opportunity to explore what’s out there” said Casey. “But we want our experienced veterans to know we want them all back.” In Sunday’s scrimmage, Team Paragon Pharmacy defeated Team JDS Mining 42-21. The Sun expect between 80 and 90 players to attend the club’s main training camp in July. The Sun open the 2011 BCFC season Saturday, July 31 in Kamloops against the Broncos.

In other action: • Kelowna United U12 Kaos beat Shuswap 7-0. Angelia Ostrom scored three times while Sarah Dewar had a goal and two assists. In the second game, Kaos lost 3-2 to Kamloops. • The Kelowna U12 Strikers tied Vernon 1-1, then defeated Penticton 4-2. • Kelowna United Red

edged past Kamloops 3-2 in U14 girls action. Kiana Ajamzadeh, Julia Bower and Lindsay Lalach scored in the win. • Kelowna United U14 White lost 1-0 to Penticton. • Kamloops defeated the Kelowna U15 girls 3-0. • The Kelowna United U18 boys edged Shuswap 2-1.

Coyotes finished season in 3rd after hard fought semi vs Vancouver Island The Okanagan College Coyotes may have started slowly but by the end of the Canadian College Baseball Conference championships in Kamloops last weekend, they

had made a statement. OC ended up losing in the semi-final of the five team CCBC championship tournament, erasing an 0-2 start to claim two big wins to get to the

semi. But after that the team ran out of gas, despite its best effort. Sitting winless after two games the Coyotes turned its tournament

@^Yh HjbbZg 8Vbeh

around with wins over rival Thompson Rivers out of Kamloops and the University of Calgary to enter the semi final game. Kyle Monster started the comeback for the Coyotes as he tossed a four hitter and struck out 10 in a 4-3 win over TRU. Aidan Mcvea had the big blast, a two run homer to deep right-centre field to

spur the offense. OC carried the momentum into a game against the Dinos. Led by Todd Leavitt’s complete game two hitter they pulled off a 4-2 win in a must win game. That set the stage for the semi final match-up against Vancouver Island but after winning two must-win games, OC fell

short and dropped a 9-4 decision to VIBI. The Prairie Baseball Academy went on to defeat VIBI in the final 8-5 winning the league championship tournament. “It was a very good tournament and the team can hold its head high for their third place finish in spite of being left with only 14 healthy bodies for

the championship,” said manager Bill Bayne. “It also gave us a look at how some of the younger kids reacted under pressure and it bodes well for the OC program knowing some of these kids will be returning,” Bayne said. Okanagan College is currently recruiting for the 2011/12 season.

Venuti to join Heat

West Kelowna tumbles to Merritt

Taylor Venuti, a 5-foot-6 left-footed fullback from Brookswood Secondary in Langley, has committed to play this fall for Claire Paterson and the 2011 edition of the UBC Heat women’s soccer team. Taylor joins Michelle Smith out of Vernon as the second new recruit Paterson has inked for this fall. Paterson likes the way her team is adding depth with these recruits to enhance her squad that last fall navigated the regular season undefeated, ultimately finishing with a provincial bronze medal. “I am very happy that Taylor has decided to come to UBC in the fall,” Paterson said. “I got the chance to see her play in our two player identification camps and I was very impressed me with her vision and composure on the ball. I believe she will be a great asset to our team.” A member of the Langley FC Metro team for the past four years, Taylor has played on a successful club team as the Langley Football Club has developed numerous CIS level players. Taylor is a member of the Coastal Cup and provincial championship 2010 side as her Langley

The West Kelowna boys were able to score another impressive try on a great run by Jeff Lohse late in the game. That try was converted by Nate Ink. Next game for the West Kelowna Grizzlies is Saturday as the Grizz host the league-leading Vernon team, 1 p.m. at Parkinson.

OVER 40 RUGBY

The Twilighters came visiting the Priest Valley Vicars on Sunday, with 25

ready-and-willing players—an uncommonly high number for a travelling over-40 team. After falling behind by two tries in the first 10 minutes, the Vicars regrouped to score a nice try by scrum half Iain Butler. In the second half, the Vicars took charge of the game, as their backs found their hands and their tackling skills were restored to normal. Mark Hetherington scored a beauty under the

posts on a nice switch with fly half James King to tie the game at two. Blaine Graf showed some grit as he bulled his way over the line out near the touch flag. Red-shorted Colin Lee scored the winning try, culminating a series of bruising runs by the forwards. Next game for the Vicars is Sunday, May 29, when they take on The Originals from Abbotsford.

Taylor also plays for the Langley FC PCSL women’s reserve team and has competed at the San Diego Surf Cup. Venuti is excited to join the ranks of the UBC

The visiting West Kelowna Grizzlies fell 3912 to a determined Merritt men’s squad over the weekend in Okanagan Rugby Union action. After falling behind 3-0, the Grizz put together an impressive passing attack that led to a try by Josh Kalke at the 10-minute mark. But Grizz injury problems and a strong Merritt forward attack led to four unanswered tries by the host Merritt squad.

SPORTS W JUNIOR LACROSSE

First-place Raiders look to restart their winning ways The Kelowna Raiders will look to begin a brand new winning streak when they visit the Armstrong Shamrocks Thursday night in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action. The Raiders, who opened the 2011 campaign with five straight wins, are coming off their first defeat on Sunday, 10-5 at the hands of the hometown Kamloops Rattlers. Andrew McMillan scored twice in a losing cause. The Raiders, who were without key players Shawn Hochhausen, Iain

Hart and Scott Renner, were slow out of the gate against the Rattlers and never really recovered. “We didn’t play our game,” said co-coach Travis Wray. “We didn’t come prepared and got caught flatfooted.” And while a loss is never the preferred result, Wray said it should serve as a wake-up call for his troops. “You never like to lose, but the good side is it should keep the guys grounded. It takes away the stress of trying to keep that unbeaten streak going the entire season. We don’t have to

worry about that any more.” The Kelowna Raiders are the result of an off-season merger between the Rutland Raiders and Kelowna Warriors. It’s meant plenty of depth and options for the coaching staff to work with as the Raiders work to get better as the season progresses. “We’re happy with the way things have been going, the guys are working hard and we’re getting stronger,” Wray added. “I’ve never seen this much depth on a Kelowna team.” The Raiders next home action is

Thursday, May 26 at home to the Vernon Tigers.

SENIOR RAIDERS

Jarrett Neigum scored four times and added an assist as the Kelowna Raiders earned their second win of the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League season op Friday night in Armstrong. Luke Bailey added two goals and two assists and Jacob Illichmann also scored twice in a 12-9 Kelowna victory over the Shamrocks at the NorVal Centre. Kyle McLennan earned a goal and

three assists, Pho Heng had a goal and two helpers, and Victor Wiens and Braden Renner each added a single goal as the Raiders push their season record to 2-3. The Raiders took 45 of the 61 minutes in penalties handed out but still managed to come out on the long end of the score. The OXLL will now take a break for the Victoria Day weekend. The Raiders next action is Friday, May 27 at home to the Shamrocks. Face off is 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Arena.

W UBC OKANAGAN

Major engineering conferences planned Leading experts in the fields of geotechnical engineering, information theory, and materials science are coming to the Okanagan in May and early June as the School of Engineering at UBC Okanagan hosts two major conferences. Each of the conferences will feature presentations open to the public. From May 17 to 20, UBC Okanagan will host the 2011 Canadian Workshop on Information Theory. For the first time, the Canadian Society of Information Theory will sponsor a School of Information Theory in conjunction with this conference. Professors Mung Chiang, from Princeton University, and Syed Ali Jafar, from the University of California Irvine, will be the inaugural instructors for this first Canadian School of Information Theory. Conference organizer Julian Cheng says three talks will be open to the public: • May 18: Vahid Tarokh,

professor and senior fellow of electrical engineering at Harvard University • May 19: Frank Kschischang, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Toronto • May 20: David Tse, professor at the University of California at Berkeley. The second major conference is the 23rd Canadian Materials Science Conference from June 22 to 24. This conference is cochaired by Spiro Yannacopoulos, director of the School of Engineering, and Lukas Bichler. Bichler notes that this conference brings together students, faculty and industry representatives from across Canada to share research in materials science, materials processing, development, characterization and application. The June 23 keynote address by C. Ravi Ravindran, past-president of the Canadian Academy of Engineers, will be open to the public. “Being select-

ed to host such an extraordinary group of national conferences reflects the excellence of our faculty and our programs in civil, mechanical and electrical engineering,” said Yannacopoulos. “It is an indication of the high regard Canada’s

engineering profession has for our young but vibrant school. We look forward to sharing with a national audience the School of Engineering and our beautiful Okanagan setting.” Information about the conferences including any

W BENEFITS OF YOGA

Finding the pathway to a healthier body and calmer mind Erica Mueller CONTRIBUTOR

Are you wondering if yoga is for you? Every week, I teach a specifically designed yoga class to a group of cancer survivors. On her first class, a women who had to have both her breasts surgically removed due to cancer, said to me,” I was told that I could never get rid of the tightness in my chest and my shallow breathing.” She showed up for class, moved even when it was hard for her, learned to breath and now she is amazed at the freedom yoga has given her. Most North Americans see yoga as a stretching or posture class but yoga is that and much more. It is about stretching and freeing your body from its tightness, and it

also teaches us to encompass a way of breathing, moving and living within your body and your life. In North America, the rise of yoga’s popularity has been driven from the quest to lose a few pounds and have a better body. The main question I often get from my new yoga students is: “Will I be able to do the posture on the cover of Yoga Journal?” The average person assumes that this is yoga, and if they’re not flexible then they can’t practice yoga. This is definitely not true. Most of us can benefit from yoga classes to attain a stronger, healthier body and calmer mind. And if you were an Indian Yogi, it was also to have the strength in the body to sit quietly in meditation. But we do not need to put our foot behind our head or be able to do a

yoga posture from the cover of Yoga Journal to practice yoga. We practice yoga to help us create real life flexibility, strength, stabilization and full body integration. As well, we need the multi-layered health benefits that yoga provides to the body. All the internal system, from the nervous system, to digestion to hormones to metabolic systems are activated and regulated. The cardiovascular, brain and energy function are enhanced. Stress levels decrease after a few classes. Your body’s’ muscular, emotional and mental wellbeing is integrated. The physical yoga practice does not mean going beyond what you can already do. You can practice yoga within your range of motion and within your limitations and improve with

time. The body rebuilds itself through a yoga practice. North Americans also are on a quest for more peace, balance and happiness in their everyday life. This quest for happiness is not new, but the cultural context in which it takes place is. We are bombarded with advertising and media that exploits our desires to be peaceful and happy. And the media suggests that if you buy this or that then happiness and peace will be yours. We have deeply ingrained habits of giving most of out time and energy to things that ultimately leave us with little satisfaction. This lack of satisfaction sends us in search of another book, another course or seminar. When finding balance, peace and happiness maybe as simple as finding a yoga class of your

choice and practicing. Even in the yoga practices we may believe that peace and happiness is attained when we have better postures or meditate perfectly. Whereas the benefits come from the discipline and dedication to show up and to practice free of expectation and see what happens. As my student I referred to at the beginning of this column has shown us all, show up to class, breath, mov and listen, and we can all practice yoga. The practice of yoga is to live our lives and want to take up the challenge to find our health and happiness. Is it time to unroll your mat and begin?

W IRRIGATION

& " & " r & " " ! '#

Schedule to save time, money Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irrigation systems contain sophisticated controllers that allow you to easily adjust water schedules to fit different needs. These irrigationscheduling devices determine when and how much water should be applied to your lawns or landscapes, with the result being reduced water and energy use and improved plant health. An effective irrigation schedule reflects your propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topography, climate, plant types, root depth, soil type, water infiltration rates, and evapotranspiration (ET) statistics for your area. ET is a measure of the total amount of water evaporated from the soil and plant surfaces, plus the amount of water transpired by plants. Factors such as tem-

perature, wind, solar radiation, and latitude all determine the ET rate. If you need help with this, visit the Irrigation Industry Association of B.C. (IIABC) website for access to the Landscape Irrigation Scheduling Calculator. You can also hire an IIABC certified irrigation scheduler, who will use specific monitoring indicators to help determine your specific irrigation needs.

EFFICIENCY TIPS

Consider soil type: Soils of various textures (e.g., sand, silt, clay) absorb and retain water differently. Watering more than a specific soil can absorb causes runoff and waste. You can make your soil more water efficient by regularly digging in or-

ganic matter (e.g., compost) or applying wood mulch (one centimetre cm for lawns, 10 cms for trees, shrubs and plants). Get in the zone: Schedule each zone in your irrigation system to account for soil type, type of sprinkler, and sun or shade exposure. Different zones will almost always need different watering schedules. Water only when needed: Saturate root zones and then let the soil dry. Watering too much and too frequently results in shallow roots, weed growth, disease and fungus. Water at the best time: Watering during the heat of the day may cause evaporation losses of up to 30 per cent. Prevent water loss by watering when the sun is low or down, winds are

calm and temperatures are cool, typically between evening and early morning. Water more often for shorter periods: Setting your system to run for three, five-minute intervals lets soil absorb more water than watering for 15 minutes at one time, thereby reducing runoff. Water plants only: Set sprinklers to water plants, not your driveway, sidewalk, patio or other buildings. Adapt watering to the season. Familiarize yourself with the settings on your irrigation controller and adjust the watering schedule regularly based on the seasonal weather conditions. Or invest in a smart controller so your system can make these changes automatically.

Be wary of cheap irrigation installers Peter canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe his eyesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the underground sprinkler system he paid plenty for only a month ago is leaking. And not just a little; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pool-sized puddle oozing from the lawn in his front yard. He locates the shut-off valve and prays the damage is confined to that area. He calls the contracting company. No answer; he leaves a message. He calls again. No answer. He leaves another more explicit rage-filled message. On day three he piles into his car and drives to the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop. The place is boarded up and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another unhappy customer prowling around, looking for clues to the wrongdoerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whereabouts. Eventually, Peter hires another irrigation installer to fix the initial contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistakes. In total, it cost more than if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gone with a more qualified installer in the first place. An unlikely scenario? No. This happens regularly as more and more people opt for automatic irrigation systems. Systems designed and installed by certified irrigation professionals can conserve water admirably, require less maintenance, and reduce water billsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly in areas with water meters and associated user-pay pricing. With hindsight, Pe-

ter realizes there are questions he should have asked the contractor before signing an agreement. Peter should have demanded the following expectations: â&#x20AC;˘ A detailed estimate outlining the costs and the types and locations of all products to be installed â&#x20AC;˘ A verbal description of how the system works â&#x20AC;˘ An ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual containing operating and maintenance instructions for different seasons and various weather conditions

â&#x20AC;˘ A one-year warranty â&#x20AC;˘ A suitably scaled site plan showing clear measurements from an identifiable reference point to the location of the controller and its circuit breaker, master value, zone control values, main water connection, blow-out connection, and other similar features â&#x20AC;˘ After-sale service such as fine-tuning settings and winterizing the system. Be especially wary of contractors who provide a quote significantly lower than their competitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

prices. Low-cost bidders often tell you a backflow prevention device is not required. They install sprinklers with significantly different discharge rates on the same line. They install sprinklers too far apart, making it impossible to get proper overlap. And, as Peter discovered, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use watertight connectors for electrical connections.

W SOLES4SOULS

Campaign collects 60,000 donated shoes Barry Gerding EDITOR

Residents across the province are showing a lot of soul in supporting a shoe collection initiative started in Kelowna. The second annual Sunrise Rotary Club’s Soles4Souls shoe drive is nearly complete, with some 60,000 pairs of shows donated this year. Rotarian Jim Belshaw, owner of Roy’s Shoes in Kelowna and the driving force behind the campaign, said that is 20,000 more shoes than were collected last year. On Tuesday, a number of local social service agencies were picking over shoes that could

be used by their program participants. “Last year, agencies put about 7,000 to 8,000 shoes back into the community for people in need of them,” Belshaw said. The remainder are sent to the head distribution centre for the Soles4Souls program in Nevada, where the unwanted shoes are then sent to countries all over the world. “It’s something I guess that everyone can identify with, we all have shoes in our closets that we don’t wear but could still be useful to people not as fortunate as ourselves,” Belshaw said. “Otherwise, they just end up in the landfill, so there is a great recycling

benefit as well.” Chris Talbot, a volunteer with Freedom’s Door, non-profit society that uses the Twelve Step program and Christian principles to rehabilitate men struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction, was among the agency representatives collecting shoes for its clients on Tuesday. “This is a huge benefit as we have 40 guys in the treatment program and many of them don’t have very much,” Talbot said. He said finding runners for each of their program participants means they can benefit from the exercise routine the program offers through Parkinson Recreation Centre.

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

FREEDOM’S DOOR rehabilitation program volunteer Chris Talbot picks out shoes that can be used by the program’s clients. The same applies to steel-toed boots that can allow Freedom’s Door participants who are ready

to go back into the workforce. Belshaw said Rotary Clubs across the province

have gravitated to the program, many indicating that next year their Rotary clubs will actively support

the campaign. bgerding @kelownacapnews.com

W THE WORKPLACE

Internet search exposes ‘potentially evangelical’ applicant

ou may not know of Martin Gaskell. He’s an American astronomer and university professor whose name became known in the employment world, recently, for launching a federal religious discrimination action against the University of Kentucky after it refused to hire him. In 2007, Gaskell was far and away the leading candidate for the position of director of the university’s MacAdam Student Observatory. His qualifications were variously described as “far above those of any other applicant,” “breathtakingly above the other applicants in background and experience,” and “superb.” So, why didn’t he get the job? Because the university’s hiring committee conducted an Internet search and determined that Gaskell’s Christian faith, as expressed in his

YOU WORK HERE

Robert Smithson writings and presentations, didn’t fit with the scientific nature of the vacant position. Gaskell’s views on the debate between evolutionary and creationist theory are what caught the attention of the university. Although a scientist by trade, Gaskell has been critical of evolutionary theory. He has been quoted as saying things like: “There are significant scientific problems in evolutionary theory (a good thing or else many biologists and geologists would be out of a job).” His writings resulted in him being labelled by the university as “some-

thing close to a creationist” and “potentially evangelical.” Apparently, in a scientific university setting, having your own views about the validity of science’s explanation of the origins of the universe is unwelcome. His claim against the university is a bit unusual in that it reverses the more typical religious-discrimination-in-employment sort of scenario. That more frequent situation, captured in the 1925 trial of John Scopes in Tennessee (often referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial), involves a person working in a religious setting who faces persecution for espousing scientific theory. The Scopes trial pitted the forces of creationism and evolutionism against each other, with nothing short of the origins of the universe up for grabs. The story started in

March of 1925 with the Tennessee House of Representatives’ passage of the Butler Act. The Butler Act made it unlawful, in any statefunded school, to teach any theory denying the biblical story of the divine creation of man and to assert that man is “descended from a lower order of animals.” The American Civil Liberties Union quickly sought to finance a case to test the constitutionality of the Butler Act. It found a willing participant in one John T. Scopes, a teacher at Clark County High School in Dayton, Tenn. Scopes was duly charged with having taught in class from a textbook chapter on evolution. At the trial, the lead counsel (William Jennings Bryan for the procreationist prosecution, and Clarence Darrow for the pro-evolutionist de-

fence) were political and legal giants of the time. There was really no attempt by the defence to deny that Scopes had breached the Act. Darrow attempted to call as witnesses a series of experts on evolutionary theory to attack the literal interpretation of the Bible but this effort was frustrated. As a result, he instead called Bryan (counsel for the prosecution) as a witness on the premise that Bryan was one of America’s foremost students of the Bible. This twist provided the trial with its most dramatic moments. Typical of their clash was one skirmish, after the purpose of Darrow’s examination of Bryan was called into question. Bryan: “The purpose is to cast ridicule on everybody who believes in the Bible, and I am perfectly willing that the world shall know that these gentlemen have

no other purpose than ridiculing every Christian who believes in the Bible.” Darrow: “We have the purpose of preventing bigots and ignoramuses from controlling the education of the United States, and you know it, and that is all.” They squabbled about everything from the swallowing of Jonah by a whale to the likely impact of the Earth coming to a standstill, the date of the great flood, the age of the Earth, the origin of Cain’s wife, and the temptation of Eve by the serpent. At best, the historic clash between Darrow and Bryan might be characterized a draw, but Scopes was ultimately found guilty and was fined $100. The Butler Act was repealed in 1967. A year later, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that such statutes were unconstitu-

tional. Back to the present— Gaskell’s complaint against the University of Kentucky was scheduled for a hearing in February 2011. But a funny thing happened along the way to the courthouse—the university paid him $125,000 to settle the matter, so we’ll never know whether his complaint would have been upheld after a hearing. We do know that not all information an employer might locate on the Internet will be useful, or relevant or even legal to consider in the course of hiring decisions.

W ENTREPRENEURS

How our personal fears can be turned into a positive force

hat is fear? It’s an emotion, a feeling. Although fear has been despised and fearlessness has been somewhat appreciated, I have come to believe fear, just like every other emotion, has its purpose in our lives and hence ought to be equally respected. I do believe that fear can be a positive thing because it means we are thinking of, moving towards or considering something in our lives

MAXINE DEHART’S COLUMN WILL RETURN MAY 25

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young that may well be unconventional. Fear is also good because it keeps us on our toes and moving. It tells us what is important to ourselves. My point with this week’s column is don’t let your dreams, your passion, indeed your life, be overcome with fear… question your fears, find the truth behind them, fears and make those

fears work for you in your entrepreneurial journey. So, it’s late at night, and you’re minding you business working on your entrepreneurial dream machine. Suddenly a creepy thought invades your head. You begin to experience bizarre emotional roller-coaster feelings. As a wonderful young committed female entrepreneur told me recently during an interview for my column next week: “Joel, I had begun to fear being successful…” Ouch…sounds enjoyable doesn’t it? I guess you’re suddenly wondering if you should be bolting the door or hiding behind your paper shredder.

Relax and stop watching horror films, for there are so many other frightening and more realistic scenarios that I might uncover for you that might destroy your venture or your soul. If we are honest with ourselves, fear is a powerful component of entrepreneurial business development. An underlying trepidation is invested in almost every decision we make along the journey. I find myself talking more and more these days to people and groups about the sociality of entrepreneurship. This, to me, makes a lot of sense in these difficult times, because entrepreneurship as an idea and a practice is

A side-by-side comparison shows we’re miles ahead.

goes with the new venture and its difficult moments. Entrepreneurial courage, for certain, requires us to manage the tensions that arise when we work with others who have different viewpoints and ideas, and it requires us to become adept at experimenting and being willing to fail, to learn quickly what does and doesn’t work. Often, entrepreneurial coaches don’t wish to go close to fears and doubts—but I remain a daredevil in this regard. I believe that these energies are crucial to address whether you are serious about becoming entrepreneurial in thought and in action. First, embrace your emotions and accept they are valid and realistic. You have chosen to stand tall in your conviction to become self-employed. You are a zealot of sorts as you wish to not work for someone else. One of the best ways I have found to manage your energy around fear is to have a clear, powerful vision of what you want. Great success stories start with a compelling vision that pulls you forward, even on those days when you are feeling doubtful about your entrepreneurial venture dream. Believe me, too many business owners float along, believing they do have a vision, when in reality, they don’t. I often hear things like: “I want to transform people’s lives.” This is not a vision. If you really want to transform people’s lives, then your vision must be very clear, focused…even electrifying. It’s got to

get your heart pumping and specifically zero in on how you will serve people you are meant to connect with in your life. So do you conquer your entrepreneurial fears? Ever feel like you’re afraid. Afraid to tell your family and friends to leave you alone so you can work. Afraid of creating a product or service nobody wants. Afraid of quitting the job you’ve held for awhile and watching the bills pile up and having the world look at you like you are a failure. Secretly, you’re ashamed. How do you convince yourself to act when you are seemingly scared to death or at least got yourself to that state of mind? Get disgusted with yourself. If you want to do big things, stop waiting for a time when everything is perfect. It’ll never happen. You’re far better off thinking about how crappy your situation is and use that emotion to make positive progressive change. Find a mentor. Test your assumptions. Fight for someone else. And, importantly, remind yourself of successes. Keep a journal to keep yourself experiencing positive thinking. The sad truth about entrepreneurship is that fear really never goes away—you just get better in dealing with it. Because at heart, people, we’re all cowardly lions. Every day, we have to wake up and remind ourselves how to roar. Joel Young is founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

generative, pragmatic— and hopeful. I also find myself revisiting, with a little prodding from my dear wife, a canonical line from the historical past that states: “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” The historical figure, former U.S. president Franklyn Roosevelt, who said this memorable line in the aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, actually defined what fear. Such definition is quite useful when thinking about entrepreneurship. Sure, fear makes us hesitate, doubt ourselves, stop taking care of each other and cease thinking, acting and believing. In terms of entrepreneurship, fear stops us from behaving entrepreneurial. To engage our biggest challenges in an entrepreneurial way, what matters first is not funding or infrastructure, or even the good ideas. What matters first and foremost is mustering and sustaining the courage to come up with good ideas, scratch for the resources, and build the infrastructure to make new and solid ideas possible. In all my years of teaching and consulting in entrepreneurship, I have found that my most important role has been to help clients and students sustain their courage and stay accountable to their own best ideas. All the rest of the equation—building a team, developing a venture plan, making an idea become a reality—only really occurs when someone pushes through the fear barrier and inevitably

Chief librarian awarded a prestigious honour Melody Burton, chief librarian at UBC Okanagan, is about to receive the Canadian Library Association’s highest honour, the Miles Blackwell Outstanding Academic Librarian Award. The award recognizes Burton for tireless service to the profession, unwavering commitment to mentoring, and excellent leadership within various libraries. Through her career, Burton has made an impact at many academic libraries: Concordia Col-

lege in Edmonton, University of Alberta, York University, University of Windsor, Queen’s University and UBC’s Okanagan campus where she has been chief librarian since 2005. “This is a tremendous honour for Melody, and reflects the leadership, professionalism and dedication she has shown here at UBC and throughout her career,” said Doug Owram, deputy-vice chancellor and principal at UBC Okanagan. “Since 2005 we have

seen our library grow from serving 3,500 students to meeting the needs of more than 7,000 undergraduate and graduate students,” he said. “It has been a remarkable time of growth, and Melody’s experience and passion have allowed us to expand and continue to deliver excellent library programs and services.” Burton is known as an inspiring leader with an imaginative approach to problem solving. Nominators described her as a “natural leader,”

Importance of having a will P

eople die—it is a fact of life—as are taxes. Even when you die, you need to pay taxes and you need to have someone wind up your final affairs. The easiest way for surviving family members to wind up your affairs is if you have a legal will in place. The will should name the legal representative who would be the executor. If there is no will, then the court will appoint an administrator as the legal representative. The legal representative can charge a fee to the estate to be compensated for the time taken to wind up the affairs of the deceased. Probate is the process of getting the court to rule that a will is legally valid. If the person dies with assets such as land, house or investments, the will is usually required to go through probate. There are fees for the process depending on the value of the assets in the estate. As a legal representative, your responsibilities under the Income Tax Act are to file all the required returns for the deceased, make sure that all taxes owing are paid and you need to inform the beneficiaries if any of the amounts that they will receive from the estate are taxable. The first order of business is to let Canada Rev-

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka enue Agency know that the person has deceased. When this happens, the CRA will remove all representatives from the deceased’s account and will stop all automatic payments such as the GST or HST. At this time, the representative needs to provide to CRA a copy of the death certificate, the social insurance number of the deceased, a copy of the will or other legal document such as grant of probate or letter of administration indicating who the legal representative is. There are three kinds of returns that can be filed for a deceased person upon death which are the final return, the rights and things return and a business return. In addition, you may be required to file a T3 return for the testamentary trust. If you need an accountant to help you file these returns, a T1013 needs to be filed with CRA giving the accountant access to the deceased’s file. Under the Income Tax Act, the deceased person is deemed to have disposed of all capital prop-

erty at the time of death. If the assets can’t be distributed on the day of death, they roll over into what is called a testamentary trust. When the assets are finally distributed, then the testamentary trust is closed. As an example, if a person dies with an investment portfolio that has a fair market value of $100,000 that was purchased back in 1995 for $20,000; that person will be deemed to have sold the investments at fair market value on the day of death and will need to pay taxes on $40,000 capital gains on the final return. Because this matter needs to go to probate, there will be the need to file a T3 for the testamentary trust. The trust will receive all the assets at fair market value. Then when the assets are finally distributed to the beneficiaries after the will has been probated. Those assets will be distributed at fair market value on the date of distribution and the testamentary trust will pay any taxes on capital gains or on any income that the investments have earned up to the date of distribution. As you can imagine, there are various vehicles that can be put in place to reduce taxes at the time of death. Another interesting problem arises when the named beneficiary is a minor.

If the beneficiary is a minor and no trustee has been named for the minor, the assets are put into the custody of the public trustee’s office. Then application needs to be made to the office to have the assets released into a trust set up for the minor with a family member as the trustee of the trust. This is an additional step with additional legal costs that could have been avoided if some estate planning had been done. In this case, the public trustee’s office will issue T-slips to the minor and the minor could end up paying considerable tax on the asset received. This may happen in the case of an RRSP whereby you have the option to name a beneficiary, but not necessarily a trustee for a minor. Finally, after all the returns have been filed and you have received the assessment notices from CRA, and before any property is distributed, the legal representative should request a Clearance Certificate from CRA. You will need a clearance certificate for the personal returns filed and a separate certificate for any testamentary trust returns filed.

Award will be presented May 27 to Burton at the Canadian Association of College and Universi-

ty Libraries annual general meeting, during the Canadian Library Association’s national confer-

ence, which is being held this year in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

FESTIVALS KELOWNA wants The Keg to help beef up their Parks Alive! program to let performers like Mystic Bowie (left) and the Blues Brothers cover band keep the free concerts rolling.

Keg hosts online contest Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It’s possible The Keg Steakhouse will make arts and cultural endeavours in the Okanagan an A-1 deal this summer with a hefty donation. The Canadian restaurant chain is offering up $25,000 for a community project and both Kelowna’s Parks Alive! program and local singer/songwriter Ryan Donn have entered the online contest. “It would just give us a little bit of freedom to bring more artists out to the community,” said Renata Mills, director of Festivals Kelowna, the society that runs Parks Alive!. The free program offers concerts in parks all over the city, in many cases allowing those who cannot afford to go to a

live venue a chance to experience talent from the area that they might otherwise have missed. Though Mills could not easily say how much the $25,000 would represent in relation to the Festivals Kelowna budget, she did say it would likely give her team a chance to bring in some larger acts and bring more acts out of the downtown core and into local neighbourhoods. “We would also be able to create a living legacy of our summer concerts through an online audio record on our website,” said Mills. Ironically, the program’s only competitor on the arts and cultural front, Donn, who has only just stepped down as president of Festivals Kelowna’s board of directors. Donn is looking to

Ryan Donn fund two projects he’s been working on, a songs in the classroom endeavour and his Global Music Fest. He didn’t find out about the Festivals Kelowna bid until it was time to roll with his own entry. “I just said, ‘Oh well, it’s two things close to my heart,’” he said, noting he would be happy to see Parks Alive! receive the money as well. Both teams apparently

have an agreement to vote for one another daily, they said, but ultimately need a lot of public support to secure the funds. “What it’s doing, is it’s just raising the profile of things that are worth giving to in the community,” Donn added. For the bulk of this year, he has been helping local students write and record their own music. Global Music Fest pairs local non-profit organizations with artists and talent from around the valley in a large concert event. Donn is hoping to eventually get the artists working with the nonprofit sector as he grows the event. To help either contestant win the bid, go to www.kegsteakhouse.com and register to vote. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Heavy hitting headliners at Centre of Gravity Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR

When you think back to 2010’s Center of Gravity—Kelowna’s hottest summer beach party— you might wonder how they could top headliners like Naughty by Nature and Steve Aoki, but event organizer Wet Ape is at it again and this year they are bringing Kelowna an even bigger lineup. This year’s Center of Gravity headliners will feature Busta Rhymes, Calvin Harris and Chromeo which tops off the already stacked lineup including DJ Pauly D, Mat the Alien, Classified, Smalltown DJs, Zeds Dead, and Dragonette, to name a few.

Center of Gravity takes place in Kelowna’s City Park and its sandy beaches from July 29 to 31, but attendees can expect much more from the festival than just great music. The jam-packed weekend will also include pro beach volleyball, freestyle mountain biking, FMX, wakeboarding,

basketball, bikini contests, beer gardens, after parties, and much more. Scott Emslie founded Wet Ape in 2007. With a background as a professional volleyball player, Emslie decided to produce a large beach volleyball event called VolleyFest in the summer of 2007, which was a huge success. It has since

Chromeo

Busta Rhymes developed into Center of Gravity which draws an average of 25,000 to 30,000 attendees each year.

BEASTIE BOYS: HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE PART TWO (CAPITOL) If you don’t count the Beastie Boys’ all instrumental album The Mix Up, the Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (there was no Part 1—?) is the first new rap album from the trio in seven years. The long layover hasn’t hurt the act now that this new disc has made its debut in the impressive No.3 spot just behind Jennifer Lopez’s Love and the juggernaut Adele who has been in and temporarily out of the numero uno spot now for nearly three months. Anyway, this is a delightful new Beastie Boys album. The group has now been together for 25 years—a quarter of a century!—since their groundbreaking Licensed To Ill (1986) and its smash, Fight For Your Right To Party (used extensively by the Nashville Predators as theme song for their playoff run against our far superior Canucks).

Bruce Mitchell But the Beasties are no longer really a groundbreaking rap/hiphop/rock act. They have carved out their own niche and it is an excellent one given the cool strengths of this Hot Sauce album that has nary a dud in its extensive 16 tracks.

What particularly impressed me was the sound of this new disc that has wonderful fat bottom bass lines that made my mediocre car stereo sound like a million bucks. This is also a very

hat lyrically to Bob Dylan on the song Funky Donkey with “the pump don’t work ‘cause the vandals stole the handle” while my fave track here is Too Many Rappers (featuring NAS) that has hilarious college frat flatulent synths that will have the kid left in you smiling all over again. A triumphant return to form and a blast from pillar to post. A-

ART OF DYING: VICES AND VIRTUES (REPRISE)

This is the major label debut from the Vancouver based fivesome, The Art Of Dying. No doubt the lads have noticed Nickelback’s success and are hoping to earn Chad Kroeger-like Lamborghini money. However, the group would obviously settle for Toyota money a la Theory Of A Dead Man but it appears Art Of Dying won’t even be able to buy BMX bikes if Vices And Virtues continues to stiff the way it has so far. Incidentally, this is the second album in just a few weeks that I have covered titled Vices And Virtues, given Panic At The Disco’s woeful titular album. Anyway, there is paint by number power ballads here along with standard run-of-the-mill hard rockers where Art Of Dying’s one signature approach might be the three-part harmonies on a couple of their down tempo tunes. Producer Howard Benson (Daughtry, Creed) has done the best that he can with the substandard material here so it looks as if the band will be promoting this album again, opening for the likes of Seether and Disturbed rather than touring on the meager strengths of this debut. Career wise the band

I have heard a few comments over the years that I give out high grades to new releases too frequently. That is true to a degree, but what some readers might not realize is that I try like crazy to avoid most of the crap I am sent in the mail and try to concentrate on the good stuff—hence the upper grades. Anyway, I mistook Big Time Rush for some other act that I was interested in and only heard this debut album by way

of mistaken identity. Like The Naked Brothers Band, Big Time Rush is a Nickelodeon TV series where the four lads act as a boy band and have since evolved into a touring boy band by natural dint. This debut BTR hit No.3 on the USA Billboard charts, while the single Boyfriend, a mucilaginous and cloying tweeny puppy love ballad, was a minor hit. The album, fortunately, more or less bombed in the Great White North. But young listeners who are fans of BTR might want to know that this Canadian version of the CD comes loaded with five bonus songs. Nearly every track here is either a cheesy pubescent love ballad or a dance pop hit and the guest list who showed up for a paycheque is somewhat notable. Money whore Snoop Dogg lends a very lame and super safe rap over a remake of Boyfriend while other teen pop stars such as Jordin Sparks, New Boyz and Cymphonique all make cameos. I appreciate that youngsters need their own brand of pop music but product like this is such a big hype that I hope they are just able to develop their own tastes some day without the shameless marketing and exploitive stratagems.

ENTERTAINMENT W CREEKSIDE CONCERT

W VOLUNTEER CENTRE

Kaeshammer happiest at keyboard Apply for a Donner Award Award winning Canadian musician Michael Kaeshammer recently released his third album with Alert Music (Universal Music Canada), titled KAESHAMMER. In support of the release, Kaeshammer is touring one of the biggest shows of his career, which had its opening April 30 at Toronto’s legendary Massey Hall. He’ll be at Creekside Theatre in Lake County at 7:30 May 19. Kaeshammer’s latest album is a high-energy pop-fuelled jazz record by one of Canada’s most promising artists. The album features contributions by R&B/soul songstress Divine Brown on the track Heartbeat and Canadian chanteuse Jill Barber on the ballad Shalimar Wind. Recorded at Toronto’s Drive Shed and Keen Studios throughout the summer and autumn of 2010, Kaeshammer blends the sounds of soul, jazz, R&B and pop that fans have come to expect from this piano prodigy. The songwriting process for the album started last spring, working with Grammy Award winning and nominated songwriters in Nashville writing new material like Shalimar Wind and Kisses in Zanzibar which inspired him to return and finish the process in a way that allows for some of his most memorable material to date. Material that comes across with the same fire and integrity live as it does on record. Songs like Rendezvous, Tightrope and the in-

tensely evocative take on Curtis Mayfield’s People Get Ready set the tone of the album and exemplify Kaeshammer’s incredible arrangement and prodigious piano skills. However, it is other standout tracks, including A Little Bit Of Love and The You-And-Me that truly showcase this fine musician as one of Canada’s most compelling young singer-songwriters. Kaeshammer, the recording, is exactly what the artist is; uniquely engaging and completely original. Given the opportunity to experience Kaeshammer’s live performance, fans and newcomers are never, ever disappointed. On stage he is a man who truly adores every moment of performing. Along with his palpable energy, it is Kaeshammer’s charm and charisma that mesmerize each and every crowd for whom he performs. “For me the performance is as much about the energy coming off the stage as the energy coming from the audience. It’s about being true to myself, living in the moment, playing from the heart and hopefully showing my love for life. “That’s what I’m all about,” he says. “After the show, people ask me, ‘do you really have that much fun?’ And I say ‘you don’t know the half of it. It’s even more exhilarating than it looks’.” For tickets to the May 19 Creekside show call 250-766-9309 or visit www.creeksidetheatre. com.

HUSSEY, ERIK SHANE Erik Shane Hussey passed away on Mother’s day May 8, 2011 in Kelowna, B.C. at the age of 37. He is survived by his loving wife Livia, his parents Bob and Ruth Hussey, brothers Erin (Michelle), Jordan (Laura), nephews Ethan and Finn, grandfather Ed Ikert, in-laws Tibor and Maria Ferencik, brother-in-law Miroslav (Renota) nephews Jacob, David, Peter. Shane is much beloved by his family and many friends. He will be sadly and greatly missed. Shane had a sparkle, a magic and a charm about him that radiated far out illuminating the lives of those who knew him. He painted his thoughts and dreams outside the canvas. He taught us to be passionate about life and all within it. His voracious appetite for knowledge lead him to search for the facts and truth in so many aspects of life and living. He loved God’s creation and the beauty of the earth - a sunrise, a sunset, a mountain height. More than anything, Shane loved his family and all those who would take time to share with him his various ideas and thoughts that he so passionately cared about. He was an athlete in his youth, a musician to the end and a member of a band. More than anything he was a wonderful son, brother, husband, and friend to all that were a part of his life. Shane suffered for years with mental illness that he valiantly faced and was determined to overcome so that he could become what he knew and wanted to become - but it never happened...Shane’s facebook posting of February 25, 2011 expresses to all one of Shane’s ﬁnal wishes - “And then one thing I have left is HOPE, that at the end I will be REDEEMED. That all the hurt and anguish I carry alone will at last be released and I shall at last be FREE!” Shane is now free and his Saviour who redeemed him by His own death and resurrection has received Shane with loving open arms. A private family memorial and interment was held on Friday May 13, 2011 at the Kelowna City cemetery. Friends or family wishing to celebrate Shane’s life can make a donation to a memorial fund in his name through the “Central Okanagan Foundation”. The funds will be used to support mental health projects within the greater Kelowna area. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springﬁeldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.
