OPINION

KELOWNA ROCKETS have high hopes for two rookie prospects who hail from the north European countries of Norway and Slovenia.

THE ANNUAL Maxine DeHart Drive-Thru Breakfast at the Ramada Hotel in support of the United Way will return for a 13th consecutive year with the help of the City of Kelowna and Kelowna RCMP.

SHE HAS pirouetted her way out of Kelowna and onto a world stage, so now Julia Harnett, a Kelowna Christian School grad, hopes to sweep the So You Think You Can Dance audition process.

ALISTAIR WATERS says Westbank First Nation has seen its golden vision come to fruition on the Westside.

Tragedy hits burned out family again

Evicted boat owners crying foul

Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

A little boy who was burned out of his home last week is dead after being hit by a driver that police say was impaired. The six-year-old and his mother, 36, were crossing Harvey Avenue between Dilworth Drive and Cooper Road at around 10:20 p.m. on Monday when they were hit by a westbound Honda sedan. They were not using a crosswalk at the time of the collision, police note. The Kelowna mother and son were taken to hospital after being hit, but the boy, who suffered critical injuries, later died at Kelowna General Hospital. His mother’s injuries are being described as non lifethreatening. Beryl Itani, with Emergency Social Services, said the single mom and boy were under their care until Monday afternoon, before being transferred to the B.C. Ministry of Housing Social Development, after a fire on Aug. 25 left them homeless. The blaze on Franklyn Road was started by the improper use of a extension cord that had been coiled up and stored under a cabinet and left a total of 12 people homeless. Itani said she met with the pair almost daily since the fire and said the boy who died Monday was “a typical six-year-old.” “He liked riding his scooter and looked forward to going to school,” said Itani, noting the boy was set to go into Grade 1. The boy’s name has not yet been released, nor has the identity of the driver of the car who hit him. Police say the driver showed signs of alcohol consumption and failed a roadside alcohol screening. The 19-year-old Kelowna resident later provided breath samples that were “analyzed as being in excess of the legal limit,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The teen has been released from police custody on a promise to appear in court on Dec. 30.

store located at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Gordon Drive. The preliminary investigation as ruled out an electrical problem as the source for the fire, which was initially reported at 10:30 p.m. on Monday evening. Nobody was injured but the store sustained about $100,000 in damage. See story on A3.

A legal maneuver by the District of West Kelowna to forcibly remove houseboats from the water in front of Kalamoir Regional Park has far reaching implications, according to one of the houseboat owners. “This is a big deal. This is totally against our navigation rights,” said Keith Newcomb. West Kelowna is preparing a case against three houseboat owners who were recently evicted from Gellatly Bay and ended up anchoring off Kalamoir Regional Park. Newcomb, along with other houseboat owners, is preparing a legal defence to challenge the district’s argument that it has the right to control moorage along its foreshore. The trials of owning a houseboat on Okanagan Lake began two years ago for Newcomb, who along with about dozens of other people, had his houseboat docked at the Shelter Bay Marina. See Evicted A8

NEWS ▼ DRIVE-THRU BREAKFAST

DeHart fundraiser back by popular demand She’s baaack! Maxine DeHart announced Tuesday she will host the 13th annual Drive-Thru Breakfast at the Ramada Hotel in support of the United Way on Sept. 30, 6 to 8 a.m. The announcement marked a reversal from what DeHart said she believed was the final drivethru fundraiser last year. The reason for her thinking was the provincial ministry of transportation being unwilling to allow use of the HOV lane for cars to line up waiting to go through the drivethru. “Because we couldn’t secure the HOV lane, I thought last year was it,” said DeHart. But the combination of the many event sponsors wanting to keep the event alive, the United Way not wanting to lose a major financial draw for its annual fundraising campaign, and both the Kelowna RCMP and City of Kelowna coming up with an alternative to the HOV impasse changed all that. DeHart said she is thrilled to see the drivethru is back in business this year, and the support she has received from the

Dinner of Distinction The United Way’s signature event of the year takes place Nov. 4 at the Coast Capri Hotel, the 8th annual Dinner of Distinction. The guest of honour for that event will be Jim Stuart, former mayor of Kelowna and long-time supporter of the United Way. Also recognized at the dinner as recipients of the Dina and Mel Kotler Humanitarian Award will be Colin and Lois Pritchard. “We trust the community will rally behind our signature events this year,” said Harry Grossmith, chief executive officer of the Central and South Okanagan Similkameen United Way. “Maxine (DeHart) is the poster girl for United Way, everything she does is for the betterment of others. Jim Stuart embodies those elements we aspire to; decent, honest, hard working and modest. He is truly worthy of our attention as the dinner honoree.” Tickets are still available for the dinner, $200 per person, as are sponsorship opportunities. For more information, call Jodie at the local United Way office, 250-860-2356. sponsors and supporters in the community. “The phone lines here at the Ramada just lit up after it become known that the drive-thru probably was going to end,” DeHart said. “It was overwhelming to see how many people wanted to help, to keep the event going.” “All in all I’m back again this year and I feel really good about that. I think it’s a sign of the

times with government cutbacks taking place that we need to step up and help. “And it’s important to know as well that all the money raised by the drivethru stays in our community.” The United Way is happy to see the drivethru breakfast continue as the event has raised more than $700,000 since its inception.

breakfast Sept. 17 at Two Eagles Golf Club. He said the 13th anniversary of the drivethru breakfast coincides with the Central Okanagan United Way’s own 60th anniversary. To mark that occasion, the United Way will

give away a T-shirt with the slogan “Live United” to the first 200 people who donate $60 or more for a breakfast bag. “We’re inviting everyone to get involved and Live United,” Gabelhouse said. “Everyone has something to contribute to the

Downtown video store DVDs scorched by mysterious fire Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

The cause of a fire that destroyed most of a video store’s collection Monday night hasn’t been determined, but investigators have ruled out an electrical problem as the cause. Fire investigators and a provincial electrical in-

spector were at Take 2 Video, located at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Gordon Drive, yesterday morning as they looked into the cause of the blaze. The fire was reported around 10:30 p.m. on Monday and fire crews arrived at the strip mall to find black smoke com-

ing from the video store, which had closed half an hour earlier. “The fire was quickly knocked down but most of the store’s stock of movies was destroyed, causing about $100,000 damage,” said assistant fire chief Lou Wilde. He said the fire started toward the rear of the

store, “either in the front counter or behind the front counter line.” The store’s DVD collection was kept behind the front counter, and the heat from the fire resulted in hundreds of DVDs being “melted together.” “It doesn’t take much to melt a DVD case,” said Wilde.

While the store’s stock was destroyed, he said little structural damage occurred to the building. “It’s not a huge hit,” he said of the building damage. The other four units in the complex did have some smoke migrate into their space, he added. The fire was one of three during a busy night

for firefighters, with fire crews dealing with a suspicious fire in a utility trailer on Findlay Road just an hour before the video store blaze was called in. The trailer was full of garbage and yard waste, ready to go to the landfill, say fire officials. As well, two people were displaced from their

Sexsmith Road home on Monday night after an overloaded electrical circuit in a crawl space overheated, causing a small fire. There was no structural damage to the four-plex, but smoke did spread to all the units as a result of the minor electrical fire. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

Bringing hot jazz to City Park Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna is more a blues town than a jazz town but local jazz songbird Anna Jacyszyn says she isn’t complaining. Every year the Okana-

gan Jazz and Blues Society finds a way to include the genre she loves so dearly in its largely bluesfocused line-up and when it hits City Park this weekend, Jacyszyn will be a headliner. “I always have to ad-

mit, just by the numbers that attend, that the blues do tend to beat out just the jazz,” Jacyszyn said, adding she’s been very lucky with her own ventures. Jacyszyn hosts monthly Jazz Café performances for most of the year and they have sold out since she opened the doors— though she’s no garden variety small-town jazz singer. She just married this summer, but the talented singer had to forgo a honeymoon to head off to school in New York City in order to hone her skills. Accepted into the New York Jazz Academy last year, she put her studies on hold to work on the Jazz Café project last season and had to return to studying this summer— wedding or not.

Following her stint in school, her band played another sold-out show at The Cellar, a small venue in Vancouver widely considered the best jazz club in Western Canada. “It was great to have a following without knowing people in the town,” said Jacyszyn, who travelled the world singing before returning to the Okanagan to be closer to family. Fans from her hometown here in Kelowna will get a chance to hear her sing this weekend when she takes to the stage at 3 p.m. in City Park. Those who are members of the Jazz Café can contact her for ticket presales (762-6141). She is selling two tickets for $30 to members, down from

The tomato originated in South America in pre-Columbian times and eventually became a staple in the Mexican diet. But for much of its history in North America, it was considered an ornamental plant; eating it was thought to be distasteful and unhealthy. Hard to believe considering that today the tomato not only thrills the taste buds in many dishes, but is revered for its disease ﬁghting properties. Tomatoes are chalk full of vitamin C and lycopene, which studies have linked to reduced cancer rates in those who consume it.

Two new WFN councillors Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

When the latest version of Westbank First Nation council met yesterday for it’s inaugural meeting, there were two new faces at the table. Mickey Werstuik and Lorrie Hogaboam were elected in Friday’s council election, along with incumbents Mike DeGuevara and Loretta Swite. Robert Louie was returned by acclamation for what he said will be his final term as chief. Louie has served a total of 18 years as chief, the last eight consecutively since regaining the job he had held at various times in the past. In Friday’s election, two incumbents in the field of 10 candidates, long-time councillors Larry Derrickson and Brian Eli, a former WFN chief, failed to win reelection. Eli missed out by just five votes. For Werstuik, who has served as a WFN councillor in the past, the election

He said the 14-acre development, will likely include 225,000-square feet of retail space and is expected to be built in two phases. Construction is currently proceeding on a new Rexall drugstore and associated space for other retail outlets, kitty-corner to the proposed WinnersFuture Shop location. The WFN is also overseeing construction of a new $43-million highway overpass at the intersection of Highway 97 and Westside Road and work is also expected to start this year on another new shopping centre near the WFN band office adjacent to the overpass construction site. That project, being build by the WFN and the company contracted to build the overpass will include a multi-screen movie theatre, two banks and several other businesses.

means a return to a council that is now overseeing a large number of important construction and social projects. In the years since his last stint on the council he has worked as the head of a forestry management company. Hogaboam, who prior to her election worked in the WFN’s personnel department, topped the poll with 144 votes. She is a first-time councillor. As per WFN rules, she had to give up her WFN job in order to sit on the council. According to Louie, despite the two new faces on his council, it will be business as usual as the WFN continues to fuel the commercial development boom on the Westside. In recent years, the WFN reserve just north of Westbank has been the site of a great deal of commercial development and that is expected to continue with the finalization of a previously announced plan for yet another new shopping centre at the corner of Highway 97 and

NEWS ▼ OK COLLEGE AND UBCO

Schools pleased with upswing in student registration Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

UBCO’s vice chancellor is pleased with the growth of his “destination university.” With two-thirds of the students heading to the campus next week arriving from outside the Okanagan, Owram said the school has become known as a place to go away to school. “We’re very pleased, given the fact the high school population is actually decreasing in the Okanagan,” said Owram, pointing to a demographic trend plaguing the school system. With family size decreasing, private, public and post secondary schools are already competing for fewer students, making the 25 per cent of the student body expected to attend from out-ofprovince that much more critical. The university has never met the original enrollment targets set by the province, which called for 900 full-time equivalent students to be added each year following an initial 3500 student intake. Tuesday afternoon, however, Owram described the targets themselves as unrealistic, noting the school knew almost immediately they would have to be adjusted. On the recruitment front, the vice-chancel-

lor admitted progress was slow in the first couple of years, but has been on the rise in recent years—and he expects the trend to continue. The school also graduates a large portion of its student body, he added, pointing out some 940 students will not be returning this fall having received their degrees in the spring. “Each year you send out more students, so to have this growth is impressive,” he said. With the intake of 1,832 first-year students, the university will have 7,004 full-time equivalent students on campus next week. Okanagan College, in the meantime, has actually exceeded the government targets laid out when the two schools were created in 2005. Now with 8,516 fulltime equivalent students enrolled, the school has continually outstripped both the university’s enrollment and the government-set targets, which would have seen 7,527 students at OC this year. “We’re seeing a 19 per cent year-to-date increase in registrations,” said Jim Hamilton, OC president. “The pattern that has seen us grow more than 65 per cent in the last five years looks to be accelerating.” Hamilton warns against putting too much stock in campus-specific

numbers at this point because of differing registration patterns. Vernon, for instance, shows just a two per cent increase year-to-date over last year, but the snapshot of registrations was taken last Friday—before Vernon started registering students in one of the big program areas.

“You’ll probably see those numbers change the whole picture at Vernon,” he explained in a release put out late Tuesday afternoon. At other campuses, where students in some programs were registered a week earlier than last year, there are whopping increases.

Penticton may be up as much as 53 per cent, for example, and the cam-

pus in Salmon Arm 61 per cent. Kelowna, with similar registration patterns to

last year, showed a 17 per cent increase. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

I have more self confidence and self awareness not to mention, I have never been this fit before in my entire life!

Police will likely be recommending charges of impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing injury. The boy’s death marks the second time this year that a child has been fatally struck by a car. Back in January, 15-year-old Josie Evans was hit by a truck as she walked along Bottom Wood Lake Road. The investigation into this week’s death is ongoing and Holmes added that investigative file does not note that speed was a factor. As part of their investigation, RCMP are asking any witnesses to the collision who have not yet spoken to police to contact Const. Chad Lucash of the Central Okanagan Traffic Services. He can be reached at 250-980-5353.

Houseboat owners going to court Evicted from A1 “The last year I was there I was paying $500 per month,” said Newcomb. Almost 50 houseboats were evicted from the marina “to make the place look nicer,” said Newcomb. “There were 10 of us from Shelter Bay that went to Gellatly Bay,” he said. Newcomb said many of the Gellatly Bay houseboat owners were painted as freeloaders and polluters and that wasn’t the case. “There was one person that was living on a houseboat in Gellatly Bay,” said Newcomb. “They came from Alberta.” Living in Kelowna, Newcomb said he pays property taxes and uses his houseboat on weekends and holidays.

from September

Before any of the houseboats from the Shelter Bay Marina moved to Gellatly Bay, there were already 26 boats moored in the bay, many owned by Angus Drive residents, according to Newcomb. Shortly after moving his boat to Gellatly Bay, Newcomb said a group of houseboat owners approached West Kelowna council and offered to pay a fee for moorage buoys. In total, 13 houseboats moved to Gellatly Bay and complaints started almost immediately about pollution, said Newcomb. “The boats had been all checked out by the ministry of environment,” he said. West Kelowna received a license of occupation for Gellatly Bay and set in motion over the summer to have all houseboats moored there removed. Over time, the ma-

jority of houseboat owners complied, but three ended up in front of Kalamoir Regional Park. “West Kelowna is saying they have the rights to the shore, all along their shoreline, all the way to the middle of the lake,” said Newcomb. “We are challenging them that they have not got permission from the provincial or federal government for control over that water. Although West Kelowna’s license of occupation does not extend past Gellatly Bay, the district did pass a W1 (water use) zone for the waters off the district and it says the Kalamoir houseboats are parked illegally, according to the zoning. Newcomb said West Kelowna does not have a license of occupation for the waters off the district except for Gellatly Bay

and the district’s W1 zone does not have enough teeth to warrant removing moored boats. The W1 zone was created after houseboats moved to Gellatly Bay, said Kirsten Jones, West Kelowna communications coordinator. “There was another concern in Gellatly and that is it is jointly owned,” said Jones. Both Westbank First Nation and West Kelowna have jurisdiction in the bay and Jones said the two governments signed a joint management agreement that basically sets out that the bay will be jointly administered under the rules set out in the W1 zone. Legal action has begun in provincial court by the District of West Kelowna to remove the Kalamoir houseboats, but Newcomb sees it as a dangerous precedent that could affect boaters across the province. “If West Kelowna wins this court case, makes rules that there is no overnight anchoring in their waters, every district, every city along a shoreline of a lake in B.C. will also be able to pass the same bylaw. All boaters will lose the right to anchor overnight.” “We are confident in our position,” added Jones. “We are now in a very comfortable place with our jurisdiction.” About 10 boaters have so far donated funds to a legal defence fund that Newcomb is spearheading. The group has hired a lawyer and was set to meet with a senior maritime lawyer on Wednesday. “We need the financial assistance from all boaters in B.C.,” said Newcomb, who has set up an email for people to reach him at againstdwkwaterzone@ gmail.com.

NEWS ▼ SUNGLASSES

Cops hope discovery means cracking the case is made in the shade Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

Police are hoping that the discovery of a pair of distinctive sunglasses near the scene of a convenience store robbery on Friday night will help them solve the case. Police were called to the Shell station in Lake Country shortly after 9 p.m. after a man dressed in black and wielding a knife jumped over the counter and asked the clerk to open the cash drawer. “The clerk responded by running from the station, to a nearby restaurant, and called police,” said Const. Steve Holmes.

When officers arrived, the suspect had already left the service station. Surveillance video shows he left the store without any cash but did take several packs of cigarettes. The suspect appeared to be Caucasian standing approximately five foot five inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. He was wearing a long sleeved grey T-shirt, black balaclava and sunglasses, a grey “camo” pattern back pack, blue jeans and running shoes. He was also carrying a six-inch bladed knife with

a black handle. Officers also found a pair of Oakley sunglasses across from the gas station

that had distinctive colourful graphics on the arms of the glasses. Holmes said officers

investigating the robbery spoke with an individual and released that person over the weekend. He said

officers are still looking to identify the suspect. Anyone with information about this robbery

is asked to call the Lake Country RCMP at 250766-2288, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Arrival of fall a reason for annuals to start blossoming M

y goodness how the summer has slipped away quickly this year. My buddy Charlie Faulkner brought me what he says are the last gasp of his fabulous tomato crop while the birds have eaten half of my delicious Einset grapes. This is a sure sign fall is on its way. I’ve just about had it with those birds; in fact I was tempted to look for my old sling shot! Just kidding of course, as the birds are actually nice to have around.

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett I just wish they would keep their blinking beaks off of my grapes! For the most part it is the starlings which I consider a low form of le oiseau family. There was a time when a reward was offered for evidence a starling had been destroyed. I believe it was a pair of legs. Yes, that sounds gruesome but it reflected the importance placed on the damage starlings could impose on an orchard. But that starling damage pales in comparison, however, to the potential devastation our berry and soft fruit crops threatened by a new fruit fly called the spotted wing drosophila. This pest will literally annihilate ripening grapes, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. It is now here in the Okanagan and the authorities are in a bit of a panic to figure out what needs to be done to get on top of it. I’ll keep you posted. Now that I have purged all that negativity, I need to balance it with some positives. This is my favourite time of year, when the temperature cools down and plants begin to look so happy, in particular the annuals. The cool evenings tend to harden them up and the blossoms last longer. The ornamental grasses are getting their fall colour and soon the deciduous trees will put on a display. Even getting out in the garden is much more pleasurable without the

scorching heat. ••• The Kelowna & District Genealogical Society will host the upcoming Harvest Your Family Tree event, a genealogical seminar and marketplace, on Sept. 25 at the Oka-

nagan College Centre for Learning. Additional events are on Sept. 24 and 26 including our Friday Reception celebrating our 25th anniversary. Betty Maurice, with the seminar planning committee, says, “Seldom

do you see this many resources in one place, this is a great package.” With 16 concurrent lectures and seven speakers, it is one of the largest genealogical seminars in B.C. and includes a marketplace with exhibitors

and vendors. Pre-registration is required. Contact Betty Maurice at bjmaur@telus.net” or call 250-769-6156. Coming up Wednesday Sept. 8, the Kelowna Garden Club will present Jim Brockmeyer, owner

of Bluestream Nursery at Christina Lake. The topic will be ornamental grasses. For any gardeners already growing ornamental grasses or those who are just discovering them this presentation is a must. Brockmeyer will

taurant patios and enjoy the lake view in Kelowna’s downtown core— maybe with a blanket draped across our knees and a glass of wine at our elbows, but we can still manage it. Here’s some fabulous news: Ten Fashions Boutique at 534 Bernard, celebrated its 30th anniversary recently. From Aug. 14 to 17, Ten Fashions had all sorts of creative and fun events at the store to mark the occasion. Ten Fashions gave out roses to their first 30 customers, released 30 white doves, offered gift certificates, featured item 30 per cent discounts and even offered $30 sale dresses. Owner Rosemarie Gottschlag tells me that she was always interested in fashion, even as a little girl. At the age of 14, she became an apprentice at a fashion boutique in Germany, a program that she continued in for three years. So she really knows the ropes of the fashion business. Rosemarie tells me that she’s thrilled that her daughter, Gabriele, has now joined the business. Ten Fashions specializes in fashions for special events—bridal, mother of the bride, graduation, cruises. The store now also carries grad and mother of the bride fashions year-round, so people can shop early for their special occasion.

Rosemarie also tells me that her personal favourite customer is the mother of the bride, as she always tends to think of herself last. Rosemarie likes to help her realize that she’s special too, and she deserves to look beautiful. How’s that for great personal service? If you haven’t been to Blonde lately (293 Bernard), you’ll want to stop by and see the renos that Raegan has recently done. The whole back wall has been bedazzled with tiny bits of silvery reflective tiles—very shimmery. Raegan also wrapped all the ceiling beams in a happy floral print, and upgraded the change rooms for a fresh and funky look. Blonde also has striking new reusable shopper bags printed up with their logo, which all customers get with a purchase. You’ll be noticing lots of these cool black and white bags on the streets in the coming months— keep an eye out for them. If you want to buy one, Blonde sells them for $1, which in turn is donated to the local SPCA. Congrats to Blonde for being environmentally, socially and fashionably conscious all at the same time. Had a wonderful dinner last week at Hanna’s Lounge & Grill at The Delta Grand. Their seafood is really fresh and well-cooked, and you can choose from several dif-

ferent sauces to customize your dinner. My favourite sauce is Romesco—tomatoes, peppers, hazelnuts and sherry vinegar. The restaurant has a brilliant idea for desserts too—small-sized delights that cost only $4 each, so you can end your meal with a lovely sweet taste in your mouth but not too many extra calories. Hanna’s also features “tapas-style” appies, so you can drop in for a drink and an appie too. All this and a view to die for. What a perfect place for before or after a show, or even for a whole evening out. Downtown’s newest park is about to be officially opened on Friday, Sept. 3, at 11:30 a.m. There will be an opening ceremony for Jim Stuart Park, located at 1414 Water St. Mayor Sharon Shepherd will be on hand to officiate, and the city has planned familyfriendly entertainment including street performers and a local band a part of the festivities. A second ceremony is also planned for the evening, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. This is a great time to check out the location of our new lakefront winter skating rink, and to find out what other events the city has planned for the new park.

ICBC’s program offers a free electronic immobilizer, up to a value of $175 (including installation and tax), to owners of 1999 to 2007 F250 and F350 trucks in Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon. “In addition to being the most stolen vehicle in our province, the average repair cost for a stolen Ford F-Series truck is more than twice that of the average stolen vehicle in B.C.,” said Nicolas Jimenez, ICBC’s director of road safety. “Immobilizers are the best protection against auto theft— making a vehicle virtually impossible to steal—and we’re confident this project will help continue the downward trend in auto theft.” For more information on anti-theft devices and optional insurance discounts, visit icbc.com.

Euros given time to adjust Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTERS

Norway and Slovenia could never be confused for the hotbeds of European hockey. Andreas Stene and Gal Koren would like nothing more than to put their respective countries on the map as members of the Kelowna Rockets. Stene, a 6-foot-3 200 pound centre from Oslo, Norway, was the Western Hockey League club’s first pick, 25th overall in this summer’s the CHL Import draft. The Rockets took Koren—a 6-foot-1 forward out of Ljubljana, Slovenia—in the second round, 64th overall. The European duo, both of whom are fluent in English, arrived in Kelowna last week, several days ahead of main training camp to get acclimatized to their new team and new surroundings. The Rockets hope the additions of Stene and Koren will address at least one of the team’s biggest deficiencies from last season—a lack of size up front. But because both players are largely unfamiliar with both Canada and the WHL, the Rockets plan to exercise a considerable degree of patience.

“I think with the commitment they both made to come over here, we have to give them a fair chance to make our hockey club,” said Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton. “They haven’t played at this level, they don’t know our league and they’re not used to playing the number of games we play here. There’s going to be an adjustment period and there’s no big hurry on our part.” Hamilton cited the 2005-06 season as a classic example of the unpredictability of whether European players develop into bona fide major junior players. “That year we had Thomas Raffl who was a world-beater at training camp, then kind of sputtered after that,” he said. “We also had Alex Edler who really took a lot of time to find his way, but once he learned the game and got his confidence, he was one of our better players. Some get out of the gate fast and some don’t.” While neither Stene or Koren had much prior knowledge of the Rockets or the WHL, both have long dreamed of the chance to play in North America and to eventually pursue a pro career. “In Norway, hockey is not a big sport but every-

I heard it was a good team in Kelowna, so I’m happy they picked me.” Stene grew up idolizing fellow Europeans Pavel Bure and Peter Forsberg. Koren—and all other aspiring young Slovenian players of today—closely follow the exploits of Los

Angeles Kings forward Anze Kopitar. Like so many European players before him, Koren will need to make some adjustments to life in North America. But he doesn’t anticipate homesickness being one of the issues. “I played in Germany for the last two or three years, so I’ve been away from home a lot,” said Koren, 18. “I don’t think it will be a problem.” Unlike Koren, Stene has some experience on this side of the Atlantic

having attended the Chicago Blackhawks’ prospects camp last year. He also played for Norway at the U18 world championship in 2009 in Minnesota. If Stene and Koren both make the Rockets’ regular season roster, there’s no guarantee both will remain with the club the entire year. Kelowna’s top pick from the 2009 import draft, Teemu Pulkkinen, will start this season in the elite men’s league in Finland, but could still end up

with the Rockets. The Detroit Red Wings, who drafted Pulkkinen in the fourth round of the 2009 NHL draft, will decide where to send him following the 2011 world junior hockey championship in Buffalo with Kelowna as a likely destination.

Warriors trim down to final roster for BCHL 2010-11 season Westside Warriors head coach Darren Yopyk will have a few more decisions to make this week before deciding on his club’s final roster for the 2010-11 BCHL campaign. The evaluation process will continue tonight (Wednesday) as the Warriors host the Merritt Centennials in pre-season action. Face off at Royal LePage is 7:30 p.m. The teams will square off again Friday in

be here,” said Yopyk, in his second season as the Warriors head coach, first as GM. “I like where we are. We have a pretty good corps of returning players and a few new pieces that we think will fit in well.” The Warriors’ first two pre-season game produced mixed results. At home Friday, Westside downed the rival Penticton Vees 6-1. A night later, the Vees returned the favour with a 9-1 win at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Yopyk doesn’t put too much stock into game

scores before the start of the regular season. “One night you have our A team against their B guys, then the next night it’s our B team against their A, so you really don’t get a true picture, it’s pretty tricky,” said Yopyk. “It’s exhibition hockey and, overall, we’re pretty happy with our effort. We saw some things we wanted to see, and we’re moving in the right direction.” The Warriors kick off the BCHL regular campaign Friday, Sept. 10 at home to Penticton.

Sun in charge heading to bye Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The win-loss record six games into the B.C. Football Conference season isn’t vastly better than it was in 2009. But 12 months later, Peter McCall sees his Okanagan Sun as a considerably different football team. With the growing pains of McCall’s rookie season in the past, and the players following the lead of their more self-assured and confident head coach, the Sun head into the BCFC’s bye week in a positive state of mind and in charge of their own destiny. “I think it’s a better team, a more athletic team, and we really have a different look with all the new players here,” said McCall, whose club went 6-4 and finished fourth in 2009. “As far my own situation goes I’m feeling a lot more like myself, I’m more comfortable in my own skin and I have a great rapport with these kids. I feel more like it’s my team than I did a year ago.” The Sun (5-1) enter the break in a dead heat for first place in the BCFC

FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR

QUARTERBACK BOBBY DAVIS tries to slip a tackle in the Okanagan Sun’s 53-7 win over the Kamloops Broncos Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. with the rival Vancouver Island Raiders. Thanks to winning the season series against the Raiders on points (46-42), the Sun would take first place in the event the teams finished in a tie. With games remaining against Chilliwack, Surrey and two against Victoria, the Sun have what most in the BCFC would regard as a favourable schedule. McCall said the chance to host two playoff games is more than enough motivation for his players to run the table over the last four weeks of the season. “If we do drop one, we probably have to go back to Caledonia Park (Nanaimo) in October and play again,” said McCall.

“We love our field and our fans, and to be able to play at the Apple Bowl and not have to travel anymore would be a big bonus. The guys have it in their hands right now.” The Sun is coming off a pair of blowout wins, 50-0 over Chilliwack and 53-7 last Saturday at home against the Kamloops Broncos. As dominant as his team has been as of late, McCall said improvements still need to be made. “As a coaching staff, we are pretty critical,” he said. “Those games could have had even higher scores, there are things we still need to work on. The offense still isn’t quite

there yet. “We are so strong and athletic, and our defense is so powerful, we expect those kinds of games to be at least 50-plus.” McCall said his club heads into the break with very few injuries of concern. The coaching staff has given the players this Thursday through next Monday off before returning to practice on Tuesday, Sept. 7. “It’s a good time for the guys to relax and enjoy their time off,” said McCall. “It’s also a good time to get into the gym, get some lifts in and take care of the body. We’re not at all banged up going into the break, so we should be in good shape coming out

of it.” The Sun returns to action Sunday, Sept. 12 when they host the Chilliwack Huskers, 2 p.m. at the Apple Bowl.

The Kelowna Chiefs’ preparations for the 201011 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season are under way this week at Rutland Arena. More than 40 players are going through the paces as the local squad opened up training camp on Tuesday morning. Three on-ice sessions are set for today (Wed-

nesday) with practices at 10:15 a.m., 11:45 a.m., and a game at 3 p.m. Camp wraps up Thursday with an intrasquad game at 3 p.m. Head coach Ken Andrusiak said the Chiefs will look to pare down the roster to 23 players by Sept. 7. The Chiefs, which relocated from Chase dur-

ing the summer, will visit the Kamloops Storm this Friday night in their first exhibition game. The Chiefs will host Sicamous the following night at 7 at Rutland Arena. Kelowna’s home opener is set for Friday, Sept. 17 against the Revelstoke Grizzlies. For more informa-

tion on the Chiefs, including tickets, visit kelownachiefs.com.

Palahniuk 6th at national seniors

Lynda Palahniuk tuned up for her upcoming trip across the Atlantic with a sixth-place showing at the Canadian senior women’s golf championship. The 58-year-old from rKelowna finished the three-day tourney at the Morningstar Golf Club late last week in Parksville at 18-over-par 237. Palahniuk had finished second at the national senBriefs from A16 The Rockets will play a series of three exhibition rgames against the Thompson Blazers, Fraser Valley Bruins, and the Kootenay Ice. As of Monday, 41

ior women’s championship the previous three years. After a slow start in Parksville, Palahniuk finished strong on the third and final day with a fourover-par 77. “In the end, I thought sixth was a fairly good showing,” said Palahniuk, who was second this spring at the B.C. seniors. “I didn’t putt very well the

first two days, but I never made more than a bogey so I was never really in too much trouble.” Palahniuk will leave this week for Europe where she’ll play Sept. 7 to 9 in the Irish Senior Women’s Open, then the following weekend in the British Senior Women’s Open near Glasgow. Friends and golfing colleagues Melanie Grant

of Kelowna and Port Alberni’s Jackie Little will join Palahniuk as the three leave the Okanagan on Wednesday. Grant, who is three days too young to play in the Ireland seniors, will tee it up with Palahniuk at the British Senior Open. Little, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, won’t play in either event but will still make the trip.

players remained in the hunt for 20 roster spots with the Rockets. Many of those spent the weekend at various major junior and junior A camps. Notably, five players attended the Kelowna

Rockets rookie camp— Alex Fraser and Mark MacDougall will take part main camp this week. The following weekend, Sept. 10 to 12 the Rockets will be in Penticton for four exhibition games, against the

Portland Junior Hawks, Wenatchee Wild, Pursuit of Excellence and Okanagan Hockey Academy. The OK Rockets will open the BCMML regular season Sept. 18 and 19 against the Valley West Hawks.

SPORTS ▼ IRONMAN

Another age mark for Welder Okanagan’s Wuterle second woman overall at Ironman Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Setting records at Ironman Canada has become something of habit for Laurelee Welder. For the third year in a row, the Kelowna woman established a new age group standard at the annual Penticton triathlon. Despite cool, rainy and often blustery conditions, the 56-year-old Welder swam, biked and ran her way to the finish line Sunday in a time of 11 hours six minutes. It broke her own mark in the women’s 55 to 59 age group, established last year, by more than 13 minutes. “It really means a lot to me to set another record,” Welder said on Monday on the way back to Kelowna from Penticton. “It’s feels like a great accomplishment for me and I’ll enjoy it for now because somebody else will likely come along and break it.” In 2008—in just her second Ironman—Welder set the race record in the women’s 50 to 54 age group with a clocking of 11:16:02. That mark fell on Sunday by nearly 42 minutes as Teresa Rider of Colorado completed the Ironman in 10:34:14. Still, Welder has proven herself as something of a natural at the Ironman distance—3.8 km swim, 180 km

bike and 42 km run. She didn’t begin training for triathlons until four years ago, but found a way to win her age group handily for the third consecutive year. “I train a lot for marathons and I’ve been able to get my pacing for the run down really well… that really helps me on the bike as well,” she said. “I Laurelee Welder think I was well rested for this race and I have my nutrition figured out, so that helps too. I had no real expectations, but I’m very happy with the way it went.” The result was more than good enough to qualify Welder for the World Triathlon Championships this October in Kona, Hawaii. While Welder was setting another record and PB, the closest finish in recent years saw Ukraine’s Viktor Zymetsev edge Germany’s Christian Baeder by 13 seconds for the overall Ironman Canada title in 8:23:28.

SPORTS â&#x2013;ź GET TOGETHER

Oldtimers hockey jamboree The 14th annual Vernon Senior Oldtimersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Harvest Hockey Jamboree is set for Oct. 4 to 7 at the Wesbild Centre in Vernon. The tournament begins with dinner and playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meetings on the Monday at the Schubert Centre at 5 p.m. Games begin on Tuesday and run daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A steak barbecue will be held on Tuesday evening, 5 p.m., at the Army, Navy and Airforce Club. Spouses,

partners and friends are invited to attend social events as well as games. Breakfasts are available on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Harvest Hockey Jamboree tournament format sets it apart from other Oldtimers tournaments. Participants enter individually and teams are made up according to age and ability. Games are well-balanced and competitive with a great spirit of fellowship and camarad-

erie, and many players return year after year. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamboree featured 160 participants with an age range of 55 to 86. Half of the tournament players were 70 years of age or older. The early registrations for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event indicate a strong contingent of players and wives from Alberta and Saskatchewan. Entrants are still needed in the Rookies and Classics divisions, ages 55-65 and 66-71 respect-

ively, and the Legends division, ages 72 and better, still has openings although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapidly filling up. Participants from the Okanagan, Kootenays and North Thompson regions are especially reminded to file their entries soon. Entry forms can be downloaded and printed at the tournament website, www.senioroldtimershockey.com. Organizer Mike Todd also has entry forms and can be reached at 250-549-2311.

▼ OUR VIEW

Downside of recalling politicians

remier Gordon Campbell could have used the counsel—not to mention political savvy—of a few more MLAs like Gordon Hogg before the ill-fated roll-out of the HST last year. It’s ironic the Fight HST forces, earlier this year, should have placed Hogg on its hit list of potential targets for a proposed campaign to recall Liberal MLAs. Because the former minister has been nothing if not con-

sistent in his view since last year that the HST announcement was a botched job. And now he is one of the most outspoken of MLAs in delivering his view that for the government to ignore a groundswell of public opinion—as represented by the HST petition —would be doing so at its own peril. Meanwhile, AbbotsfordMission MLA Randy Hawes raises cogent points, responding to what he terms recall “threats’

MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212

by anti-HST leader Bill Vander Zalm, if his petition isn’t dealt with in the legislature this fall. That the HST is widely unpopular, both in terms of its delivery and impact, is an obvious understatement. That message has been delivered loud and clear to Campbell and company. Yet, as Hawes opines, do B.C. voters want to set a precedent, as has been the case in California, of recalling, or threatening to recall, politicians when

they undertake unpopular action? That may appeal on a base level to many people, but it could have the effect of crippling every government elected – and conceivably discouraging politicians from making any tough decisions believed to be in the public’s best interest. In this case, punishing the Liberals through recall, and forcing repeal of the HST, also carries associated costs ranging in the billions. It’s food for thought—by all.

WFN side of that invisible line. The recent additions of large

stores such as Walmart, London Drugs and Staples to the already present Canadian Tire and Home Depot, as well as a host of smaller retails outlets, are soon to be joined by the likes of Real Canadian Superstore, Rexall Drugs, Winners, Future Shop, another multi-screen movie theatre, more banks and many smaller stores. It’s the WFN that is driving commercial development on the Westside because it has the land, and self-government status that allows it to make its own deal. But it also seems to have the buy-in of the WFN members who control 80 per cent of the reserve lands, the locatees. It is also proving to be successful

because it has a vision—one that has been in the works for many years and that focuses on the long-term. According to WFN Chief Robert Louie, returned to office last week by acclamation for what he says will be his last term, what we are seeing today is no fluke. The wheels of the WFN’s plan started spinning years ago when the band focused on infrastructure first—servicing the land that now houses the shopping centres the WFN have so successfully attracted. Louie, who will have been at the helm of the WFN at various times for a total of 21 years when his current term expires, wants to see the current development vision continue

after he’s gone. But he knows his reserve is reaching the commercial saturation point. So the next big plan is creating what he calls a “gateway” to the Westside at the north end of the William R. Bennett Bridge. Louie envisions something akin to Vancouver’s Granville Island—attractive development that would be the antithesis of the industrial businesses one currently sees along Highway 97, through the non-reserve section between Lakeview Heights and West Kelowna Estates. Given his record of success elsewhere on the reserve, it would be hard to bet against him achieving that goal.

▼ ART OR PORN

It might be art but there’s no place for it on the front page of a community newspaper To the editor: Just wanted to give you my opinion on Sunday’s (Aug. 29 Capital News) front page news. It’s a sad day in Kelowna, when pornography graces the page of a public paper, delivered to young and old. A blatant, in-your-face approach at pushing a small interest

group and their agenda in the face of those who may not only be uninterested, but extremely offended. It’s one thing that television allows pornography, at least parents can control what their children view—but how many children, going to get Sunday’s paper, had to see a naked couple with gleam-

I’ll never know, because you chose to make the cover as nearly indecent as possible to get your point across. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before, of course. I am a 28-year-old mar-

ried man who has been through many a life drawing class. Believe me, I understand that there is a place for the nude human form. The front page of your newspaper is not it. It didn’t anger me, but it did upset me that there was no one at the Kelowna Capital News that recognized that.

as long as you call it art— let’s get back to common sense thinking. Not all children, or parents are comfortable with seeing nudity—art or not. That’s my rant—take it for what it is—an opinion based on common sense moral values. John Neudorf, Kelowna

pose like that for all to see? I respectfully request that you show much more discretion in the printing of your newspaper. Thank you for your consideration. John Tucker, Pastor, Guisachan Fellowship Baptist Church

A few closing notes: • If your newspaper were a movie, the cover would have been rated, at minimum, 14A. If you’re printing a newspaper photograph, and would not rate it PG or less, please reconsider. • Just because a woman’s nipples are covered does not mean it is not nudity. I have no intention to

boycott your paper entirely—sometimes I just need something to read when I’m waiting for a burger at Wendy’s. However, for what it’s worth, any respect that I had for your paper has been lost. Chris Hendricks, Kelowna

▼ HARD LESSON

Thief take boy’s summer wages To the editor: My son had his wallet and backpack stolen Aug. 26. He lost a large amount of cash (no, he shouldn’t have been carrying that much around with him), several gift cards, an H2O punch card, his boating license, a nice wallet and a perfectly serviceable backpack. My son is entirely responsible for leaving his backpack unattended. Yet I can’t help wondering why the individual who found it, handled the situation as they did. That day my son sat at Eldorado Park, adjacent to Lakeshore Road, on a beautiful summer afternoon, enjoyed a picnic lunch with some friends,

then hopped on his bike and continued to a friend’s home and then on to ours. Some time later he realized he didn’t have his backpack. He called his friend. It wasn’t at his house. His friend then went back to Eldorado Park (closer to his house than ours) and found a pile of my son’s things on the ground— clothing, a water bottle, some books, but his wallet and backpack were gone. So, what happened, and why? Someone obviously took what wasn’t theirs without empathy or conscience. Rather than trying to reunite my son with his possessions, something else took place. I

don’t know why, but I have to wonder what inspires some people to live a ‘Do unto others’ life while others do not. I lost my wallet once, and I felt sick to my stomach about it. Not to mention the nightmare of having to cancel credit cards and so on. Then a thoughtful citizen went out of their way to return my wallet to me. I felt a mix of relief and thankfulness to receive such undeserved kindness. I have repaid that kindness many times over by doing the same thing for others. My son is learning some hard lessons from his experience. He knows he needs to take better

Aguirre wins silver at skating competition in Burnaby To the editor: We would like to thanks for your newspaper article of Friday, August 27 regarding the summer

care of his things. He says it was only money, but it was everything he made from his summer job, so it hurts. He knows forgiveness is necessary, even though his Facebook profile indicates he still has to process some things. We hope we’ve taught him to live his life without being knocked down when bad things happen. And we hope he continues to believe good exists, and to do the right thing no matter what others do. Today my son got up

and went to work again. Good on him. So, to the person out there who stole my son’s wallet; I forgive you for what you did. I believe there is good in you. I challenge you to return what you took from my son. You have the ability to do that. You know where we live (see the boating license). If not, I believe you need what you took more than we do. So I pray that it will meet your needs. Lesley-Anne Evans, Kelowna

very workplace has its own culture. We know this to be true—we read about it and we live it in our jobs everyday. What we don’t often stop and think about is how leadership behaviour influences the work culture, or how that culture impacts employee satisfaction. It is safe to say that the personalities and management styles of an organization’s leaders set the tone of the work environment, which is both good and bad news. On the positive side, if you are a leader who has a clear vision of where you want your business to go,

WORK LIFE

Laurie Mills then you may also have a good sense of what values and behaviours are going to get you there. And, you will realize that you need other talented people to help you get the work done. Leading with values that include integrity, respect, dignity, collaboration, etc. will demonstrate to your employees that you appreciate them.

It will also set an expectation that others are to be guided by the same values. When employees see their leaders act in a way that is consistent with the values they advocate, then they are more likely to follow that person’s lead. That is the kind of behaviour that helps create a culture of empowerment and loyalty. Encouraging learning and innovation could bring your organization to the next level of performance. Innovative ideas help to keep businesses competitive. They also allow employees to share their input and creativity and

that builds a culture of engagement and commitment. People learn about the culture of their workplace by watching their organization’s leaders. If the supervisors and managers are supportive of employees, open to suggestions and quicker to praise than to criticize, it goes a long way toward building a culture of trust. On the other hand, if a manager seems to have his or her own personal agenda and little interest in drawing on the strengths of the team, an atmosphere of competition and suspicion could develop. People quickly recognize managers who either deliberately or inadvertently create a work atmosphere of negativity and tension. No one wants to work for them and many may also choose not to do business with them. It’s difficult to gauge how much an oppressive work culture restricts business growth or profitability, but there are plenty of statistics available on the high costs of staff turnover, absenteeism and disengagement. Creating a place where people thrive and

actively contribute may sound simple in theory but it is far from that in practice. I do my best to enlighten, encourage and educate people about how to be good managers, and why it is so critical to keep honing their leadership skills. Still, there will always be some people who just don’t get it. It isn’t that they can’t learn to improve in these areas it’s more that they don’t even see why it matters so much. To the managers and supervisors who do get it, I say keep up the good work. Be that role model for others and use your influence to foster a workplace culture that is positive and respectful—a place where people want to come to work.

The man was arrested and is facing charges of having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs, possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and driving while prohibited. His vehicle was impounded. The man was being held to appear in court yesterday. Results weren’t known at press deadline.

The rise of the serial entrepreneur—they just can’t stop O

nce thought to be exotic, serial entrepreneurs can at times seem to be everywhere in places we might least expect. From their innate tolerance for failure to their creative use of resources and their incredible “sixth sense” of when to exit— they have a lot to teach us. One of the absolute joys in writing this column is sharing the story of an individual’s entrepreneurial journey, many of which have introduced me to the realm of the serial entrepreneur. This week, I would like to introduce you to an absolutely delightful example of this entrepreneurial category, but first let me set the background on this sociological business phenomena. A serial entrepreneur is defined as someone who starts a number of new ventures after having already started and exited a previous one. Such an entrepreneur experiences the pleasure of being able to enjoy the joys and thrills of creating

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young something special. This is like an adventurer discovering new land or climbing new peaks. Each venture brings in new excitement and fresh success. No matter how good the last success may have been, it is done over and over with a readiness for the next business challenge that lies ahead. Once a serial entrepreneur tastes success in one venture, the urge to try their hand at another becomes very strong. Our classic entrepreneur is often guided by a belief in a market “opportunity” for a particular product, service or innovative and unique technology. Further, an entrepreneur follows an inspiration and is able to motiv-

Entrepreneurs, invariably, are willing to undertake a personal, professional and/or financial risk due to their undying belief in their arrived-at “opportunity.” In contrast to an entrepreneur who may launch a single venture and operate it as a career move, the serial entrepreneur will treat entrepreneurship as a profession. Successful serial entrepreneurs have the powerful ability to repeatedly recognize a market opportunity. They often may rely less on personal intuition and inspiration but on an analysis on the market opportunity itself. They seem to evolve with a mechanism to repeatedly create a new product or service for the marketplace and surround themselves with talent that complements their own and often build an entire organization to follow their entrepreneurial pursuits. Well, there is “ some-

thing in the air” this week as I am blessed to share with you the story of a genuine serial entrepreneur who embraces this phrase religiously: “Never, say never.” Jeff Wuolle was born in Surrey, growing up with two younger sisters in a middle class family, where there was a clear understanding of the human work ethic. After finishing his first year of university at UBC, Wuolle completed his business accreditation at BCIT after a three-year program in 1971. Immediately joining a finance company for three years after school to hone his finance skills, Wuolle was drawn to the TD Bank system in the Vancouver core area for an additional six years. It was during his banking experience that Jeff Wuolle the entrepreneur began to blossom. The bank was so impressed with the results of his efforts as a bank manager, they began to “more than hint” about him relocating to Toronto to continue his career path. While working in the Whistler ski region in 1979, the dam burst.

Before the world knew it, “Jeff the Serial Guy” emerged with Twin Peaks Property Management, which grew to include a trucking company, courier service, travel agency and 30 plus personnel. Signing cheques and saying hello were the norm with the myriad of staffers he had in place to operate his conglomerate of functions. By 1987, Wuollo realized he needed a break from the fast-paced serial entrepreneur life he was leading and enjoying sold off most of his assets and took a sidebar into the real estate world until 1994, working on the Sechelt Peninsula to hone these new skills. Sadly, his wife passed away in 1986 leaving Wuollo to manage his work, his life and his children. Yes, we all know by now that the fate fairy does work in magical, mysterious ways and brought a wonderful person into Wuollo’s life. She had been working in the food service supply industry. When the two of them decided that they were experiencing new-

found love, the couple determined that perhaps a change of environment made sense. A move to the Okanagan, specifically to Vernon, where the couple decided to awaken Wuollo’s “serial” nature. They acquired a 5,000 sq. ft. building with a single tenant that the couple envisaged would serve as an investment outlet. Fate then stepped in as the existing tenant left, and the Wuollos were left to ponder what business use could be made of the now vacant building. After completing a major building renovation, Wuollo asked his daughter what might make sense for a family enterprise—and lo and behold, the Cracked Pot Coffee Emporium on 39th Avenue in downtown Vernon was born. Now folks, this isn’t just a mere coffee bistro, as Wuollo has created the Cracked Pot into an experience with coffee, deli specialties and a unique gift shop. Added to this was a major focus for customer service and away our serial guy goes again, true to his serial nature he

opened coffee bistro # 2 by the golf club and #3 at Vernon hospital, with two more locations under development. But wait, not wanting to live a silent life as a serial entrepreneur, Wuollo and his family have contributed to 20+ charitable causes since opening their “chain” and have won and been nominated for numerous local chamber of commerce awards since 2007. Not a shy reclusive man, Wuollo reminds the politicians at every level of their responsibility and accountability to the business world for the burdens often placed upon them when trying to succeed. Thanks Jeff, it has been a true pleasure meeting you through our mutual friend David Biglow of Cherry Hill Coffee Company, an Okanagan entrepreneur in his own right—both of you make every day enjoyable for this prairie cowboy.

BUSINESS ▼ INTERNET

The tone and context of emails are everything A s emails emerge as the primary mode of workplace communication, it is inevitable that their use (and abuse) will be subject to comment by a range of adjudicators. In a recent arbitration conducted pursuant to

the Canada Labour Code, arbitrator Frank Borowicz weighed in on the subject. The case before Mr. Borowicz involved a complaint of unjust dismissal pursuant to Part III of the Canada Labour Code. Mau had been an em-

ployee of the Canadian National Railway Co., in the position of Trainmaster, between 1999 and 2007. His employment had been terminated by his supervisor, Roberts, for “insubordination” and “lack of professionalism”.

In the course of the arbitrator’s reasons (in rejecting the employer’s just cause position) he addressed some comments Mau had made via email. The allegation was that these emailed comments had “subjectively affronted” the supervisor. “One of the weaknesses of that media is that it permits immediacy without context. People tend to write emails in a manner reflective of their verbal speech, but the communication presents itself to the recipient cleansed of all the visual and tonal cues that give verbal communication so much of its meaning, allowing the reader to impress onto the (emailed) communication whatever tone and emphasis they imagine is appropriate.” The arbitrator clearly came to believe that Roberts had misinterpreted Mau’s email. He stated, “…it is significant to note that in every email statement referenced in Mr. Roberts’ memorandum, he consistently attributed the least charitable and most offensive reading possible to Mr. Mau’s words. “This approach led Mr. Roberts to apprehend

LEGAL EASE

Robert Smithson insolence and insubordination where there actually was none.” I’ve previously relayed the story of Vicki Walker who was fired from her job in New Zealand, in part, because of her “confrontational” emails. She had apparently made a practice of using block capital letters, bold typeface, and red typeface in emails. Her employer was reported to have viewed her habits, including her email style, as creating disharmony in the workplace. Although the employer’s case against Ms. Walker was unsuccessful, scenarios such as hers and Mau’s raise questions about the efficacy of email as a medium of workplace communication. Put simply, it’s not just what is communicated that is important but also

(perhaps more) how it is communicated that is important. Part of the problem is that, as arbitrator Borowicz stated, bare text strips a communication of its visual and tonal clues. A second problem is the fact that many emails are dashed off quickly without a whole lot of consideration of how the message might be perceived. And, we shouldn’t ignore the possibility that many people are simply not skilled communicators when the printed word is the medium. Creative people have found some ways to add tone and context to their messages. Whether by using block capitals, different coloured fonts, bold and italicized emphasis, improvised symbols such as ;^) and abbreviations such as LOL, emailers have begun to figure out that there are ways to enhance the meaning of the bare text. Nonetheless, I believe the first key to cordial emailing is that all employees (including bosses) should think about what they are typing from the perspective of the re-

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ DANCE WORLD

Harnett aims to be Canada’s top dancer

JULIA HARNETT in her many guises, competing on SoYou ThinkYou Can Dance Canada. CONTRIBUTED

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

She tiptoed her way out of Kelowna and onto a world stage, now Julia Harnett hopes to sweep the So You Think You Can Dance Canada season-long auditions. When Harnett was four years old she began training with the Canadian School of Ballet, taught by Kelowna’s Melville Brown. A graduate of Kelowna Christian School, the new reality TV star was born in Vernon and spent most of her life training with the dance school after her family moved to Kelowna. “I started with ballet but then added jazz, highland, musical theatre and modern,” she explained in a telephone interview from the CTV studio where she is now rehearsing with 21 other

performers. Auditions for So You Think You Can Dance Canada were held in March and Harnett joined the finalists last week on the national stage to compete in Canadian living -rooms each week for what could be a 13-week season—depending on how far she makes it. This is her third run in the SYTYCD system. As she holds dual citizenship, she competed in the United States, making it through to the Vegas auditions in the 2007 season before being cut somewhere around the 65-dancer mark. In Canada, she was short-listed again in 2008 in her first SYTYCD Canada auditions, but did not make it into the finals. Now 26, with a husband, a five-year-old son, and a brand new dance partner waiting in the wings, she has land-

ed a coveted spot on the show which could launch her career into the stratosphere. It might sound like a long and winding road to fame and fortune, but her

battle with the SYTYCD auditions really pales in comparison to the persistence and determination she’s needed to keep herself in the dance world. After graduating from

high school, Harnett abruptly left the Okanagan to train in Toronto and seek out a career. “I wanted to train intensively,” she explained, noting she was immedi-

ately offered work on Carnival Cruise Lines. The job made her enough money to pay for school in Ryerson University’s dance program, but she quickly discovered the school was too contemporary for her liking. Her love of ballet would never shine through, so she made the difficult decision to transfer universities. Starting again in the University of Calgary’s dance program, which was affiliated with the Alberta Ballet, she managed to eek out two terms before her dreams were sidetracked once more. “I got pregnant right after marrying my husband. So that was a bit of a shock,” Harnett said. “Nine months later, after I had my son, I wanted to return to dancing… but they basically said I wasn’t serious enough.”

Ousted from the ballet world she decided the athletic, strong dancers she had seen competing in the ballroom might offer a toehold back on to a solid career path. It was clearly the right move. She has competed for Canada with Rufino Rodriguez, the partner she describes as her best friend. The pair decided to split this spring because they are the same height and, as Harnett is a very strong dancer, their styles no longer mesh well enough to dance together. Harnett auditioned to dance with Anthony Grafton, a SYTYCD Canada star who was cut after making it into the top 18 in last season’s show. The pair will be competing for Canada when Harnett returns after her run with the show this fall. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Usher delivers usual gag producing lyrics USHER: VERSUS (JIVE/SONY

Usher, or Usher Raymond if you will, released the platinum selling Raymond V Raymond almost six months ago. The ‘V’ part of that title represented ‘versus’ as the album was sometimes a concept album about Usher’s new life after his divorce—the main concept to my ears was that he was back on the market, frequenting night clubs and bedding down any lass “who wanted to be seen with me.” Anyway, his recording label re-released a deluxe edition of that album which included most of this nine-track mini album titled Versus that has now been released by itself. Usher has already scored another big hit with the cheesy dance pop track DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love with a rap from Pitbull and all music by Max Martin. The secondary feature song is the equally fromage-like Hot Tottie with Jay-Z and the gag-inducing lyric “ladies get in line if you want me to get to you,” but the biggest selling point here for very young buyers with scads

HEART: RED VELVET CAR (EAGLE RECORDS)

This is the Seattlebased Heart’s first new studio album in six years and only their second album in 16 years. The glory days of filling huge arenas, selling multi-platinum albums and huge hits are now part of the past of Nancy and Ann Wilson (aged 60 and 56) but they can still create worthwhile music. Red Velvet Car was produced with several songs co-written by ex k.d. lang producer Ben Mink. He has steered Heart to a more blues, folk and roots pop sound where the band used to pump out huge arena hits like Barracuda, Straight On, Crazy On You etc.

There are plenty of acoustic-driven ballads here with the occasional rocker like the edgier WTF and a hint at Heart’s early infatuation with Led Zeppelin on Death Valley (that features a cameo by Geddy Lee of Rush). But much of Red Velvet Car focuses on rootsy ballads and mid-tempo songs highlighted by Queen City complete with bells from Big Ben, the roots oriented Safronia’s Mark and the folky Sand. There are no obvious sure fire hits here but at a dozen solid tracks that old Heart fans will want to give a listen. B-

Phantogram are the multi-instrumentals and vocals of Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel from upstate, rural New York. They released a four-song EP last year and this debut full-length album (which includes all of the former EP) has been getting fourstar rave notices from such as Spin magazine and Alternative Press. Phantogram offer a somewhat retro groove of mid ’90s trip hop mixed in with indie rock and, as the CD title Eyelid Movies suggests, this is dreamy, sometimes mesmerizing music. The lead off Mouthful Of Diamonds features arty psychedelics that beguile while there is an element of nervy psychopop on Running From The Cops. My fave track is, of course, the most accessible one with jangly guitars and strong pop sensibilities with Let Me Go. As Phantogram are getting universally positive reviews and they tour constantly, they are a band to watch. B

THIS IS THE BLUES: VOL.1 - VOL.4 (EAGLE RECORDS)

There are probably dozens if not hundreds of blues compilations titled This Is The Blues but this new four-CD series is well worth looking out for. This collection is highly eclectic but it is a must own if you are a blues fan who loves the English style where half of the ’60 songs on these discs are tributes to Peter Green who was the founding member of phase one of Fleetwood Mac, the British blues rock version before the rhythm team moved to California and became an L.A. pop phenomenon. There are literally dozens upon dozens of class musicians here, often from different bands, and they come together to record these songs by Green, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and tradition covers. For an example I’ll fill you in on my favourite song, Little Wheel written by Hooker, that features Procol Harum singer Gary Brooker with Andy Fairweather Low (ex of Eric Clapton’s band and founder of Amen Corner) along with Matt Pegg (also of Procol Harum) and drummer Henry Spinetti (of the road band for Dylan and McCartney). Their contributions are superb and emblematic of the excellence that is found on all four of these discs. Other musicians of note include Gary Moore, Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce (Cream), Southside Johnny, Mick Taylor, Rory Gallagher, Georgie Fame, Mick Jagger and many more. Distributed by Eagle Records and should be easy to get at any retailer. A-

PEAK Performance Project artist to perform in Kelowna Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR

The PEAK Performance Project Boot Camp is underway at RockRidge Cayon Resort just outside Princeton. The camp is full of life and buzzing with activity as the artists are well into their week of artistic development. Although I could probably write a book about all the goings on here, I’ll let you check it out for yourself. Daily video and Twitter updates from all of the top 20 PEAK artists can be viewed at www.peakperformanceproject.com. Certain key points stand out to me as being pertinent for any artist striving to make it in the music industry. Many of those points come back to live performance which

is the basis for any artist’s development. I decided to sit down with Christina Maria, one of the top 20 artists here, to pick her brain about live performance which is something that she is no stranger to. The Vancouver singer/songwriter has studied music at college, in Bali and in India, been a full-time busker and has toured and performed across the globe. Obviously well versed when it comes to life experience I sat down with Christina Maria to talk a bit more about her experi-

ence with the PEAK Performance Project. Q: You have had many different experiences with live performance as you were a busker and you have toured to different locations across the globe —what have you learned so far from the PPP about live performance that you didn’t embody before? Christina Maria (CM): Over the past few days I’ve learned how important it is to open up emotionally and to really connect with your audience. When you’re busking it’s easy to cut off showing your true colours because you’re so vulnerable to people passing by. Q: There’s a huge amount of confidence that

Christina Maria comes with being a live performer, what is some advice that you would give to an artist who is still trying to overcome their fear of performing in public? CM: You have to remember that everyone has their doubts and that everyone has a hard time pushing through things sometimes. What I find really helps is that even the biggest artists have

doubts and struggles so that helps me to shake off that feeling and just get back to work. Q: Can you tell me about a bad experience during one of your performances where you were able to turn it around into a positive learning experience? CM: Not so much a bad experience as a weird experience. Last year I was busking outside the

A sure fire way to bring smiles to everyone is to see a baby, a toddler or young child dressed in such a cute and charming hand knit outfit. Knit in Sirdar’s Snuggly DK it requires 2 to 5 – 50 gram balls for the Jacket; 1 ball for the beret; and 1 ball for the bootees. Instructions for this knitting pattern are written in 6 sizes from birth to age 7. Make one for baby and one for a little girl? This design features a cable on the bootees and beret to match the cable on the jacket collar, with just the one button for comfort as they grow. There are 68 colours in Snuggly DK, machine washable, composed of 55% nylon/45% acrylic. Alternative yarn can be used such as Baby Bamboo or any DK yarn.

their facial expressions and I really feed off what the audience is feeling, so it was kind of hard for me to tap into the crowds. But I’m constantly learning and I’ve learned to just be patient with crowds. You also learn a lot about yourself when you’re in those types of situations. Christina Maria will be playing at the Streaming Café this Saturday, Sept. 4. She’ll be fresh out of boot camp with new tricks (and potentially new material) up her sleeve so come out, enjoy a coffee and listen to one of the amazing talents from the 2010 PEAK Performance Project. You can find Christina Maria online at www.christinamaria.ca or www.myspace.com/ christinamariagroup.

I had never heard of the annual Zombie Walk in Vancouver so I had to quickly move all my gear out of the way because all of these zombies were everywhere around me and I really didn’t know what to do. But after they stopped and just started hanging out then it turned out great because I had a huge group of people crowded around and listening to me. Q: What are some things that you have learned about live performance from touring to different countries that you would have never learned from just touring around Canada? CM: I’ve noticed that crowds react very differently everywhere I go. Like in certain places in Europe for instance, people don’t show very much emotion through

Home Alone In my plans I was the ﬁrst to leave, instead I am left here to grieve To hold you...would ease the pain But I know I never will again. Here alone...without my girl, I stay to feel close to you Cast alone on Top Of The World One day I will be there too. Everything was not enough, nothing is too much to bear Where I’ve been is good and gone All I keep is the getting there. Days up and down they come, some too long before they’re done Forget most...remember some But don’t turn none away. Brothers and Sons...they don’t see I’m hiding out so painfully The place we used to call our Home, can’t be found here...Alone. Thinking of you, with a tear and a smile Digger

O’ROURKE – BRUCE GLEN We are saddened to announce the

sudden passing of our loved one, Bruce Glen O’Rourke. Bruce went to be with the Lord on August 28, 2010 at the age of 65. Only a short time has passed since he was sadly predeceased by his loving wife and best friend Georgina Jeanette O’Rourke (nee Youngberg). He is survived by three children Deanna Kim O’Rourke of Alabama, Kynan Glen O’Rourke (Kelly) of West Kelowna and Sean Patrick Walter O’Rourke of Calgary. Bruce was a fun-loving grandpa to ten grandchildren, Courtney, Jeremy, Jessica, Janelle, Joshua, Bret, Brooklyn, Conner, Zachary and Keira. He was also predeceased by his birth mother Dorothy Williams, parents Thomas and Nancy O’Rourke and brother Wally Williams (Joanne) of Tsawwassen, BC. Survived by siblings Chief Williams, Mable Williams, Loretta Williams, Karen Underwood, Bertha Williams, Brad Williams, loving nieces Michelle (Corey) Baker, Tanya (Matt) Corbett, nephew Kyle (Tiffany) Williams all of Tsawwassen, BC. Bruce leaves behind many other special relatives and close friends. Born on December 10, 1944 in Comox, BC, “Da Goose” was a proud union carpenter for 40 years. Bruce and Gina were married for 44 years and gave unselfishly to their community through church and numerous charities. Bruce loved his wife and family so deeply. We are heartbroken he was taken from us so soon but we are comforted in knowing that Mom and Dad/Grandma and Grandpa are together again. We love you and are thankful for all that you gave. Keep singing, Dad, Gramps, friend and brother, XO. Memorial service will be held on Friday, September 3, 2010 at 10:30 am at Trinity Baptist Church, 1905 Springfield Road.
