W MUNICIPAL VOTE
Electoral reform input submitted Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER
Penalties for those who don’t vote, term limits and the return of the corporate vote are among the ideas a local residents’ group is putting forward on local government electoral reform. The Westside Residents’ and Business Association sent 10 recommendations into the provincial Local Government Elections Task Force under the wire Thursday, prior to the close of the April 15 deadline. Spokeswoman Mary Mandarino said one of the more contentious issues among her group’s membership was whether or not it would recommend penalties for those who don’t vote in an election. Mandarino said a system could be developed, similar to one she knows of in Australia where residents who fail to vote without good reason pay a $20 fine. “People have died for our freedom and right to vote. It should be taken seriously,” said Mandarino. “It was an issue debated back and forth among our members and it was contentious for sure.
“But in the end, we felt it was an issue that should not be ignored and one that should be brought forward for the task force’s consideration.” The association also proposed that the task force explore the idea of term limits for mayors and councillors, proposing a maximum of two, threeyear periods of office. “Our group’s thinking was you need new blood, you need the community to be progressive and people coming into office with new ideas. New blood is always good for progress.” Finally, the group wanted to see the corporate vote reinstated, so those who owned businesses in a municipality could cast ballots. Mandarino said it would be up to the task force to figure out minor details, such as whether the change would enable some individuals who own both a residence and a business in a municipality to cast more than one ballot. “And does that mean companies like Walmart and Costco get to vote?” she questioned. “The task force should appoint a committee to See Reform A8

TOW TRUCK operators from Mario’s Towing faced quite a challenge figuring out how to remove a damaged truck transport trailer load of tires after the vehicle’s cab caught on fire, causing the truck to crash while heading north on Highway 97 near the Glenrosa interchange.

Sleepy trucker comes to crashing halt Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Traffic in Glenrosa was disrupted yesterday after a trucker apparently fell asleep at the wheel, leading to a fiery crash. It was at 5:10 a.m. on Tuesday that West Kelowna RCMP were called to a single vehicle crash involving a tractor trailer on Highway 97 at Glenrosa Road. “The driver of the northbound tractor trail-
2010 DL# C3289/5296
er fell asleep and the vehicle left the roadway and struck the impact barrier on the Glenrosa exit,” said Const. Ryan Routley. The crash knocked down the exit sign and resulted in the truck catching on fire. However, the trucker was able to escape uninjured, police say. West Kelowna Fire and Rescue were also called out, and quickly extinguished the fire, which left charred marks in the grass along the side of the road and on the concrete posts at
the side of the road. Police say the 43-year-old driver was given a ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act for driving without consideration. It comes with a $196 fine. Northbound traffic on the highway was disrupted as a result of the crash, and a lane was closed for much of the morning. Cleanup was still ongoing yesterday afternoon. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

W FRUIT GROWERS
Farmers take their funding fight to Facebook Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Okanagan tree fruit growers have moved from their orchards onto Facebook where they already have thousands of “friends” who post encouraging comments on the wall and pledge to support local farmers. Kelowna orchardist Fred Steele, a member of the executive of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, says just since the very-successful April 3 sale of apples at 12 cents a pound at the Kelowna Farmers’ Market, more than 2,300 people have signed onto the Facebook page called I support Okanagan Valley Tree Fruit Growers! He says the site was started by farmers concerned about the low prices they’re receiving for their apples. Growers are receiving just 12 cents a pound, although it costs an average of 22 cents a pound in direct costs to grow the apples. As a protest, they sold thousands of low-priced, high-quality apples at the farmers’ market a few weeks ago, as a way to meet face-to-face with consumers and let them know about the fix farmers are in. Proceeds went to the local food bank. They’re expanding that action to Abbotsford this weekend, where they’ll be selling 12-cent-a-pound apples in five-pound bags, at the farmers market Saturday. They will also be giving out pamphlets and asking people to contact their MLA and advocate for Okanagan orchardists, said Steele. “We seek public support for both assistance and for cooperation in our quest for a long-term solution for positive pricing of apples,” explained Steele. The BCFGA has met with provincial Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson, the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Mission, to request emergency assistance for the industry to allow farmers to continue to nurture their orchards until prices improve. Growers are asking that people go to the online support site and sign up as a way of showing their support for farmers, he said. Just google “I support Okanagan Valley tree fruit growers.” Some of the Facebook comments are from people who say they refuse to buy imported apples, and will argue with the store clerk about the importance of supporting local farmers. Another supporter is Okanagan College communications instructor Mac Arellano, who produced a documentary film called Strange Fruit: A Changing Landscape in the Central Okanagan. It will be screened May 7 in Kelowna, at Habitat, 6 p.m. It will also be presented at the Vernon campus of Okanagan College Friday, April 23, 7:30 p.m., followed by a panel discussion with growers David Dobernigg and Joe Sardinha. “Food sovereignty is a top issue with people these days because we can finally see that the science and economics that have supported the green revolution can only go so far. If there is a real food shortage in the world because of war, natural disaster or geo-politics, how are local communities going to be able to support themselves?” asks Arellano. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

A PRIVATE company with a sonar equipped boat was brought in last weekend to help in the search for a missing 35-year-old boater, presumed drowned after his boat was found unattended floating on Okanagan Lake last month.
No sign of missing boater on OK Lake Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A search is expected to continue through tomorrow for the body of a man presumed drowned after his boat was found unattended in Okanagan Lake last month. Don Cormier, the missing man’s uncle, says they’ve hired a private company to search Okanagan Lake using sonar for the missing 35year-old. The recreational fisherman’s boat was found unoccupied driving in circles near Rattlesnake Island the evening of March 20. Police, fire and search and rescue officials searched the shoreline and the water for the man, and also conducted an aerial search of the lake, without success. The search for the man, who wasn’t wearing a life jacket, was called off the following day. Police had considered a sonar search if they could define some “point of origin” for where the man was believed to have gone over-
board but ultimately weren’t able to narrow down a search area. Now, a month after the man’s boat was found empty, an Idaho company hired by the man’s family is using sonar to search the lake. They’ve been searching since Sunday, and have had the assistance of the man who called 911 after finding the empty boat, said Cormier, as well as others who were on the lake that day. However, he said yesterday afternoon that the results of the search so far are “not good.” “It’s a lot of area to cover,” he said. Searchers yesterday were right back to where the boat was found and have an area, covering several miles, that they are covering. It is expected the search will continue through Thursday, provided the weather holds up. Despite the discouraging results so far, Cormier, was encouraged by the many calls he’s received from boaters who were on the lake that day, and offers to help. If you were on the lake March 20 and think you spotted the missing man’s boat, you’re asked to call Cormier at 250-718-0735.

Long awaited road upgrade plan to proceed Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER
The much-anticipated Abbott Street-like improvements to Gellatly Road are set to start this spring. The District of West Kelowna has awarded a $541,742 contract to R and L Excavating for the addition of parking stalls, cycling paths and a walking and roller-blading trail, plus fresh asphalt,
to Gellatly Road between the boat launch and the Cove Resort. When streetlights, design costs and contingencies are factored in, the total project cost is $884,258. The improvements are reminiscent of improvements made to Abbott Street in Kelowna several years ago. Like that project, West Kelowna has decided to complete the Gellatly Road and Trail
improvements in increments. At its meeting this week, West Kelowna council considered taking a further $2.5 million from reserves to continue other improvements along the remainder of Gellatly Road and Trail from Powers Creek Bridge to Rotary Beach Park. However, municipal staff recommended those other works be postponed to future years be-
cause of current commitments to complete $11 million worth of sewer extension projects throughout the municipality before March 31, 2011. To complete the first phase of Gellatly Road and Trail improvements, the municipality will take $531,258 from development cost charge reserve funds, use a $163,000 Recreational Infrastructure Canada grant, draw on a $170,000 provin-
cial Local Motion Grant and use a $20,000 donation from the Gellatly Bay Trails and Parks Society. The project was identified as West Kelowna’s No. 1 priority in council’s 2010 strategic plan. An exact completion date has not been provided although the work should be fully finished before fall. jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

Call for non-toxic spray to kill off invading moth Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

take a back seat to a new environmental blight this year. A new pest is moving into Kelowna’s forests and threatening a whole host of tree species. Not only that, the Douglas fir tussock moth also leaves people in the areas it invades a little red and itchy, as about 20 per cent of the population has an allergic reaction to the insect, called tussockosis. “They’re quite a menace to your health,” said Ministry of Forests entomologist Lorraine Maclauchlan as she walked Kelowna city council through the ins and outs of dealing with the moth Monday afternoon. The hairy creatures can cause a rash and serious respiratory problems in those who have the allergic reaction, which affects pets, horses and livestock at roughly the same rate. While not quite as pervasive as the pine beetle, they’re already in several Kelowna neighbourhoods; though only the
caterpillars can move about to expand the region the insect infects, as the female moth cannot fly. As such, council has set the ball in motion to spend as much as $50,000 to spray non-toxic, naturally occurring pathogens on areas in Glenmore, Knox Mountain and along Clifton Road this spring in an effort to hasten the infestation. Rather than wait through the naturally occurring four-year invasion cycle, the sprays are meant to knock the cycle back to one year. Tussock moth is said to be at Postill Lake, in Ellison and Trepanier Creek, but has likely spread through more areas of the city than have been identified. “We saw some damage last year, but significantly more is expected this year,” said Maclauchlan, noting it also affects Ponderosa pine, ornamental spruce and fir trees. The B.C. outbreak began in 2008 and by last
year there were spots in Princeton, Hedley and surrounding Kelowna among the 17,500 hectares infected within the province. As the beetle thrives in dry, low-lying regions where cities develop, it often inhabits large chunks of private land, making it very difficult for officials to stop, Maclauchlan said. Two agents can be sprayed on affected areas to try and stem the tide, including a biovirus called nuclear-polyhedrosis virus (NPV) and another naturally occurring bacterial insecticide called Bacillus thuringiensiskurstaki, or Btk. Neither Btk nor NPV are said to have any impact on fish-bearing streams, though the moth itself can affect horses, dogs and other livestock and therefore NPV can also affect animals. The NPV spray is comprised of ground up and frozen caterpillar carcasses, so it can also produce an allergic reaction in both people and ani-

aimed at forcing a vote on the Harmonized Sales Tax is urging opponents who have not already done so to sign, regardless of what they hear about the number of signatures already collected. Daniel Thorburn, who is overseeing the petition drive in the KelownaMission, Kelowna-Lake Country, Westside-Kelowna and Vernon-Monashee ridings, said he is concerned some people may not bother to sign if they feel canvassers have already been successful at gathering signatures. Under B.C.’s initiative law, a registered group has to collect the signatures of 10 per cent of all eligible voters in 85 B.C. ridings to have an initiative considered by the government. “We are doing very well but to gain success, we need (people) to get out and sign,” said Thorburn. “We don’t want to present the minimum number of signatures.”
Earlier this week, leaders of the Fight The HST group said response in the first two weeks of the 90-day campaign has been strong, with several of the 49 ridings that have reported numbers already producing the mandatory 10 per cent of signatures. Included in the list of ridings described as having reached the 10 per cent mark or are close to it were Westside-Kelowna, Kelowna-Mission and Kelowna-Lake Country. But the Capital News has learned that is currently only accurate for two of the four local ridings. Only Westside-Kelowna has surpassed the 10 per cent figure, while Kelowna-Mission is said to be close. Kelowna-Lake Country is only halfway there and after a slow start, Vernon-Monashee is said to be catching up quickly but is still only about half way there. Despite that, Thorburn said response to the petition has been good.
He is confident canvassers will collect much more than the required 10 per cent of signatures in each of the four ridings. “I think we are doing really well,” he said Tuesday. One of the major concerns for the group is that not all signatures will be accepted by Elections B.C., which has to approve each one for it to be valid. All the signatures will be submitted to Elections B.C. at the end of the 90day campaign in early July, so there will not be time to go back and collect any rejected ones again. Thorburn said that is why he wants well in excess of the 10 per cent figure in each of the four ridings he is overseeing. Recent public opinion polls put opposition to combining the current seven per cent provincial sales tax and the five per cent federal Goods and Services Tax in one 12 per cent Harmonized Sales Tax at 85 per cent.
Fight the HST official Bill Tielmann said the fact that so many people have signed the petition in the first two weeks of the campaign in three ridings considered “safe” seats for the B.C. Liberals shows that when it comes to opposition to the HST, there are no safe seats. Thorburn was quick to deflect the issue away from party politics, saying opposition to the HST is not about political party allegiance. The former B.C. Refederation candidate in Kelowna-Mission said opposing the HST does not mean that a petition signer is saying he or she opposes the Liberal Party, just the planned HST. While he admitted some people are using the HST as an issue to attack the Liberal government of Premier Gordon Campbell, his group is not political. Opposition to the HST is, however, being supported by the NDP and several other smaller
political parties in B.C. For its part, the government has said it plans to distribute information to every home in B.C. explaining the HST, a move the Fight the HST group says is illegal under the initiative law. It maintains the combined new tax will be good for the economy, despite the fact it will make several items currently exempt from provincial sales tax subject to the full HST. But Fight the HST says the information the government will distribute is aimed at countering its petitions and needs to be submitted by a group that has registered with Elections B.C. The government did not register as an opponent of the anti-HST initiative before the April 6 deadline. The petition’s organizers have a local website— danthornburn.com—detailing where and when the petition will be available to sign locally.

Caught in the act Two men seen cutting wires in a purported attempt to break into a Lake Country business were arrested yesterday before they tried to get into the building. Sgt. Rick McIsaac said around 3:15 a.m., Lake Country RCMP were called about an attempted break and enter in progress at Lake Country Cycle on Woodsdale Road. McIsaac said two males were seen walking over to the store, then ripping three power meters off an east exterior wall, cutting power to the building. McIsaac said the men, ages 18 and 30, then walked back to the vehicle and were seen placing a backpack into it before they started to walk away. Both men were then arrested. Police say the vehicle had a damaged ignition and had been stolen from a Rutland carport overnight while the backpack contained a variety of break-in tools. Charges of attempted break and enter, possession of the stolen vehicle, possession of break in instruments and mischief are being recommended by police.

W PIN PAD THEFTS
Surveillance leads to an arrest Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Two of the three men arrested last week in a Kelowna hotel room allegedly containing equipment to compromise pin pads are now facing additional charges related to incidents in the Lower Mainland. On Tuesday, Crown counsel laid new charges against Mahmoud Alieh, 28, Khaled Ibrahim, 21, and Sami Rais, 26, following their arrests Thursday at a motel in the 2500block of Highway 97 North. Their arrest came after a member of the public heard a Kelowna RCMP warning about three documented attempts to replace pin pads at local businesses. Police issued a description of two men
and one woman as part of that warning, and a member of the public told police he spotted people matching that description at the motel. “Police investigated and set up surveillance and, as a result, arrested three males,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Steve Holmes. The woman has not yet been arrested. Police went through a motel room associated to the suspects following their arrest Thursday and seized equipment that could allegedly be used to compromise pin pads and install devices which enabled the collection of customer’s debit and credit card information, Holmes said. The three men arrested face charges of possession of stolen prop-
erty, possessing a credit card forging instrument and possessing a device to obtain computer services. All those offences took place in Kelowna, court records show. As well, Ibrahim and Rais face charges of fraudulent concealment and possessing a credit card forging instrument that stem from offences in Surrey in December. Ibrahim also faces three more charges of fraudulent concealment related to offences in Abbotsford, Langley and Richmond in November and December. On Dec. 3, Langley RCMP were called to a Booster Juice after a man removed a pin pad while a man and a woman distracted staff. Ibrahim’s alleged role in that incident isn’t clear.
And Abbotsford Police dealt with a similar situation a few days earlier, on Nov. 25, 2009. Police allege one of the men swapped a pin pad stolen earlier that day from a Coquitlam furniture store with the one the business owned while another man and the woman distracted staff while the swap was being committed. Abbotsford Police say another man, Laurence Payette, was earlier charged in relation to the Abbotsford incident. He pleaded guilty to fraudulent concealment on April 7 and was handed a suspended sentence and two years of probation. Ibrahim, Alieh and Rais remain in custody and are scheduled to return to court in Kelowna on April 27.

Businesses can help fight pin pad fraud Police are asking businesses to take some steps to “frustrate” the efforts of criminals who commit fraud using pin pad machines. RCMP suggest businesses encourage staff to put pin pads away when not in use or affix them or tether them to a surface so they can’t be easily removed. As well, the pin pad serial number should be recorded and checked daily to ensure a decoy pad hasn’t been installed. “By incorporating these steps

into the everyday business routine, it will no doubt go a long way in frustrating the activities of fraudsters and protect businesses, customers and banking institutions from being victimized,” he added. Holmes notes that in order for the fraud to be effective, fraudsters must steal a pin pad and replace it with a decoy, install the collection devices and bluetooth technology into the original pin pad, and then replace the original pin pad as soon as possible as the pin pads will not

Once that is complete, banking information can be remotely collected and used to clone debit and credit cards that are, in turn, used to withdraw money or to purchase merchandise. “Clearly, it is far better to detect the crime at the beginning, than to discover it weeks or even months later when the account holder discovers the misuse and the damage is done,” Holmes said.

Councillor’s café shut down Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna’s bylaw department has shut down a councillor’s summer business venture. Coun. Rosalind Neis was unable to obtain a business license this year for her Cannery Café across from a popular beach on Gellatly Road, despite the licence being granted last year. Neis told the Capital News earlier this year that her concession stand near Willow Beach made no
money last year. However, Neis mentioned that she would be willing to give it another go this year because there were no other snack shops for beachgoers in the area. Neis said she repeatedly heard how Gellatly Road could use a summertime concession in the vicinity of the beach, boat launch and a nearby recreational trail. Unfortunately, a technicality will prevent Neis from opening for a second year on the site. West Kelowna de-

velopment services director Dave Slobodan said his staff was unable to issue a business licence to Neis this year because the café, which is considered a permanent fixture, had no washroom facilities with running water and sewer as required under municipal bylaws. The case might have been viewed differently if the concession was a mobile vending operation. Slobodan said that if someone came along wanting to offer a mobile vending service, rather than a permanent fixture, staff would consider such an application on its own merits. Meantime, Slobodan said no exceptions could be made for Neis’s permanent concession even if it’s only a seasonal operation. “The same business
operating a block from there would have to have the same access to running water facilities,” said Slobodan. “In fairness, if someone has a small restaurant in nearby Westbank and requires those things, then it should be consistent and fair across the board.” And while a public washroom is located across the street from Neis’s snack stand, Slobodan said bylaws state that the concession must have its own facilities. Neis was issued a business licence for the shop last year on the condition that washroom facilities would be built next door in a warehouse located on the same premises as the snack stand, said Slobodan. “I understand the facility was promised to her but the owner changed his mind.”

The task force has been gathering recommendations from the public since January and is required to compile the input and submit its own recommendations to the provincial government and the Union of B.C.

Police and Central Okanagan Search and Rescue were called out Sunday morning to look for the man, who was found by the occupants of the RCMP helicopter near the McDougall Forest Service Road on the Westside. The quad was stuck in four feet of snow and water. The missing man was found alive and well and had found shelter in a nearby grove of trees after getting stuck. “He was wellequipped for the outdoors,” said Dan Schlosser, from COSAR. The man was back with family and friends later that morning.

New officers and technology are featured in the quarterly police report to West Kelowna council. West Kelowna RCMP Staff Sgt. Duncan Dixon said while the municipality is still getting into the new municipal policing agreement in the past year, there are already positive effects. Dixon noted the detachment has gained four additional officers, with the second two officers to become active in the next couple of weeks. Currently, the West Kelowna detachment has 41 officers. Twentyone are funded by the District of West Kelowna, 17 by the province and three by the Westbank First Nation. Dixon noted that a year-long policing initiative came to an end during the last quarter. He said the multi-phase project targeted streetlevel drug trafficking in West Kelowna, Big White and other outlying areas. Dixon said the operation resulted in 23 persons identified and 43 charges laid. He added that undercover officers purchased cocaine, crack cocaine, prescription drugs and marijuana throughout the detachment area.

reservists, in my opinion.� Dixon pointed out that if costs are similar, the district would be better off hiring a senior experienced officer than a reserve member. Other recent changes to the West Kelowna RCMP involved the adoption of the PRIME computer system. Dixon pointed out the system has its advantages and challenges. He noted the detachment would have had to move away from their old DOS-based system in a short time due to changes in required police technology. Dixon said because the PRIME system is so accurate, it slows down street-level officers while they use it to report activities. Despite this, he said the system had many advantages. “There is an understandable and required idea that police should report, which is what PRIME does.� To questions of whether the detachment should have a school liaison officer, Dixon said he would like to have one. He noted that currently, each officer is assigned to an area school. Mayor Doug Findlater said the district is still test-driving the new policing agreement, and pointed out that in some other parts of the province the school district provides support for the liaison officer position.

The West Kelowna detachment responded to 1,842 calls for service between Dec. 1, 2009 and March 31. The number was down from 1,998 calls for service in the same quarter last year. Dixon said there were no dramatic ups or downs in police statistics for the quarter, with similar trends as displayed in the past. He pointed out the District of West Kelowna has made efforts to make police work easier, in solving traffic issues and creating environments where kids have other things to do. RCMP responded to 93 assaults in West Kelowna, down from 101 in the same quarter last year. Officers attended seven sexual assaults, up from four in the same quarter last year. Impaired driving offences rose from 69 last year to 74 this year. Liquor Act-related offences fell from 57 last year to 35 this year.

W UNITED NATIONS FORUM
Taking on a global perspective Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
A United Nations regional forum on Friday will top off a series of events this week showing Kelowna residents how to take part in the global village. Nick Arkle, founding chair of Global Citizen Kelowna, said the UN regional network forum on April 23 will feature several humanitarian speakers. The event will also involve discussion of a Canadian position on the UN’s third Millennium Development goal—gender equality and the empowerment of women. Arkle said the UN regional network is a collection of non-profit groups, charities and individuals that want to get together to come up with
a position on the gender equality goal, which is being discussed at the UN this year. “We have speakers coming in with national and international experience working in that area.” Arkle noted the forum will create a presentation to be delivered at the United Nations in July, with the results of breakout discussions being amalgamated into a formal paper. He said half the day will be spent alongside people who work in the field of gender equality. He noted the other half of the day involves a range of speakers who will address how charities and non-profits can engage the next generation. Arkle pointed out many charitable organizations are made up of 50-
and 60-year-olds, with little thought given to succession planning. He said the current staff have to get used to how the next generation thinks. Arkle added that these organizations are already
in place and form an alternative to starting new groups. He noted existing organizations need to rethink how they get the younger generation involved. See Global A12

The UN forum takes place April 23 and the morning of April 24 at the Sandman Inn, and comes at the end of a week-long series of events put on by Global Citizen Kelowna. Arkle said the annual week of events came out of questions that were being asked a number of years ago when talking to baby boomers. He pointed out many people wanted to get involved in humanitarian activities at home and abroad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to take part in this so-called global village but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how.â&#x20AC;? Arkle said the week has organizations come in with a neutral attitude and look at how they can promote the common good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very much around educating and informing.â&#x20AC;? He said the organizers
Nick Arkle are trying to have a number of different events to appeal to youngsters, families, retirees and many other sectors of society. Among the speakers during the week is Marc Kielburger, one of the founders of Free the Children. Arkle added that Free the Children involves youth working for youth around the world, and is the largest global organization of this kind. He noted Kielburger will be speaking April 22
at the Millennium Development Challenge, a day-long competition for teams from five different area schools. Held at the Kelowna Community Theater, the event asks students to come up with ideas on how they would try to meet one of the eight UN Millennium Development goals. Arkle noted the Red Cross has a representative speaking the morning of April 24 on humanitarian law during wartime. He added that a lawyer will also be speaking about how foundations can operate internationally and what the expectations of these organizations are in an unsettled world. Arkle said the week wraps up the evening of April 24 with the ethnic food and entertainment festival A Taste of Home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an absolutely
fantastic multicultural festival evening of performance and foods.â&#x20AC;? Arkle said more than 800 people have attended the evening each year over the past six years. The festival takes place at the New Life Auditorium at 2041 Harvey Ave. Arkle explained the Global Citizen Kelowna series of events is really about organizations being neutral for a week and engaging the broader community. He said it encourages organizations to look at how they can get people engaged in the global village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to show there is something they can do, and how they can do it.â&#x20AC;?

SAVING FOR THE FUTURE WAS THE FIRST STEP. LET US HELP YOU MAKE
6 TIPS TO REMAIN ZEN ABOUT YOUR FINANCES The perfect recipe for financial success Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a well-known fact that financial success requires work, organization and discipline. But apart from these three essential elements, certain other measures can help you to maximize your chances of financial success. Here are a few tricks which could be very useful for the future. 1-ESTABLISH A BUDGET: a budget is a very useful tool. It allows you to see your financial situation more clearly while managing your revenues and expenses more efficiently, not to mention your debts and your savings.
THOSE SAVINGS LAST. How much can I withdraw to do everything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve planned? How much spending is too much spending? Will all the years of saving be enough? If these are the questions youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking yourself these days, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule a time when we can sit down and answer them together. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take look at all your investments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regardless of where you hold them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to determine if your savings match your plans, or if we can adjust your plans to meet your savings. A lot went into getting you to this stage in your life. Let us help you make sure you get the most out of it. Call today to schedule a personal financial review.

2-PAY CASH: It is to your advantage to pay cash whenever possible. In this way you avoid getting into debt and having to pay interest charges.
LINK TAX SERVICE
3-AVOID EASY CREDIT: credit is readily available these days, which makes it all too easy to slip into debt. Even though it can be very tempting sometimes, caution is always necessary. For example, keep the number of credit cards you possess to a minimum and always pay off the balance in order to avoid interest charges. 4-INVEST IN A RRSP: a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is not only a great way of saving but it also enables you to pay less income tax.
Personal Service #109-347 Leon Avenue
5-DEVELOP GOOD SAVING HABITS: apart from the RRSP which helps you prepare for retirement, good saving habits are an important part of healthy finances; the earlier theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re acquired, the more profitable they will be. 6-ASK FOR ADVICE: financial counsellors, planners, accountants or other competent professionals can be an extremely helpful source of information and advice. Never hesitate to take advantage of their services.

A single drop of used oil can contaminate one million drops of clean water… The British Columbia Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA) is a not-for-profit organization responsible for the implementation of a provincewide collection and recycling system for used oil, oil filters and plastic oil containers. Since its launch in 2003, the Used Oil Recycling program has achieved significant results in preventing used oil and oil products from ending up in British Columbia landfills. For 2009, the recovery rate of: Q used oil was 77.5 per cent Q used oil filters was 91.6 per cent Q used plastic oil containers was 81.0 per cent.
Q Ensure every drop of used oil, every filter and every container is brought to a collection facility during regular business hours so it can be disposed of properly Q Avoid night drop-offs as they often lead to spills and environmental contamination.
Q BCUOMA has over 190 brand-owner members who pay for the program through the Environmental Handling Charges. Q BCUOMA has 39 Registered Collectors and Processors who are paid by BCUOMA to regularly pick up and recycle used oil materials from over 4,000 generators across the province, of which over 500 are Return Collection Facilities for the do-it-yourselfer. Q The do-it-yourselfer who generates small quantities can return their used oil materials at no cost to over 500 Return Collection Facilities.
The Ambassadors declare that “One Drop of oil makes a difference” in front of the branded BCUOMA hybrid vehicle.
Q Mobile oil changers, loggers and anyone else who generates larger quantities of used oil materials should phone 1-866-254-0555 to find out how they can arrange to have someone pick up their used oil materials from their own place of operation.
Though it is not possible to recover 100% of used oil since 30.1% is consumed in use, it is possible to collect and recycle all used oil filters and oil containers in this province. British Columbia has become one of the leading provinces in Canada for used oil materials recovery, which is a testament to the support and awareness from people across the province.
So how can you do your part?
Did you know that?
Drop off your used oil and and oil products at collection facilities during regular business hours to ensure proper disposal. Return your used oil at one of over 500 return collection facilities participating in the program.
Recycling your used motor oil really is as easy as it looks.
For more information about BCUOMA or to find a collection facility nearest you, call 1-604-RECYCLE (732-9253) in Metro Vancouver, 1-800-667-4321 across BC, or visit: usedoilreycling.com/bc. To arrange for a bulk pick-up of used oil, please call 1-866-254-0555. Check out bcusedoil on twitter for even more news & updates.

Ethiopiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s YMCA chair shares eye-opening experience Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna YMCA recently played host to Ethiopian delegates who are in the midst of trying to rebuild that countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own version of the organization. Delegates from the Ethiopia branch of the YMCA toured facilities from Kelowna and Kamloops to Prince George. Dr. Berhanu Tadesse Taye is the board chair of the Ethiopian organization. Berhanu spoke at a Kelowna YMCA forum on April 12. He noted the trip had been going fine and was an eye-opener for the delegates. He said the delegates saw committed staff and first-class leadership in those who volunteer at area YMCAs. Berhanu said there are significant differences from the Ethiopian network of YMCAs at present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had at one time one of the best YMCAs in Africa.â&#x20AC;? Berhanu noted that YMCA facilities in the country were confiscated and closed during a government takeover in 1976. While the government changed and the organization was re-opened in 1992, the facilities remain in government care. Berhanu said the organization does not reach as widely as it once did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The previous facilities that we had have not been returned to us.â&#x20AC;? The Ethiopian organization is in the process of rebuilding. Berhanu said they need to generate both
resources and new facilities to serve the needs of the populace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of needs for services of the Y. Our emphasis is on very needy youths and very needy women, they form a large part of the population that we need to service.â&#x20AC;? Currently, the YMCA has managed to open up nine branches in Ethiopia, a country that once saw 25 branches. Three of them are in the capital of Addis Ababa, with the remaining six facilities serving different provinces. Berhanu said services offered depend on the branch, and that the organization is starting programs which focus on HIV/AIDS prevention and education. He pointed out the illness is a common problem in the country, as are the large numbers of orphan children. Other YMCA programs work to put street kids into foster homes. Berhanu said the Ethiopian YMCA would like to offer other programs but also needs to expand the existing ones because the need for their services is high. He pointed out the delegates noticed on the trip to Canada that services can be offered outside of permanent YMCAowned facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have always been striving to get our own facilities. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a relatively new thing.â&#x20AC;? Berhanu noted they encountered programs here that are not run at Ethiopia YMCAs, such as

childcare and support for drug addicts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were fascinated by some of the new things that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen here.â&#x20AC;? Berhanu said the Ethiopian organization is seeking a partnership with other international YMCAs, a partnership with
joint planning, evaluation of programs, implementation and monitoring so everyone can learn from them. He noted the YMCA still needs to build up minimal facilities. The organization already owns land in some of the provinces,
but have not yet been able to build on the properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be sophisticated set-ups, but some facilities need to be built.â&#x20AC;? Berhanu noted that many of the YMCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources have not been returned by the government
as the organization feels they need to be. He said the organization needs advocacy and outside pressure on the Ethiopian government to return the YMCA facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want them returned to us because first
of all they belong to the Y. They were donations, built on resources mobilized by the population.â&#x20AC;? msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

W TREPANIER CREEK
Digging up a little dirt in support of Mother Nature Dozens of volunteers from the Westbank Walmart and the Peachland Sportsman’s Association got a little dirt under their fingernails on behalf of Mother Nature over the weekend. As part of the Trepanier Creek Riparian Restoration project, they got down and dirty on Saturday to plant nearly 100 mature trees and native bushes along the waterway in Peachland’s Trepanier Creek Linear Park to improve habitat for such wild creatures as the kokanee salmon which spawn in the creek each fall. Funding for the materials came from Walmart’s Evergreen grants program and the PSA, including a grant of $9,100
from Evergreen toward the project. Team Construction, of Kelowna, donated the use of a bobcat and operator to help move the plants into position. For the PSA, it’s the continuation of a project that began several years ago, with the planting of a few trees and shrubs adjacent to the creek to help provide shade and cover during the heat of summer. Without that, the water in the creek can become too warm to provide suitable habitat for aquatic species, and water temperatures can be too high in the fall for the kokanee to enter the creek from the lake to complete their life cycle by laying their eggs. Kokanee numbers in
Okanagan Lake crashed in the past few decades, and have only just begun to improve with habitat improvements around the lake. A popular asphalt pathway winds its way through the park alongside the creek. The volunteers tried to mimic nature in planting the native trees and shrubs in a random fashion so they will grow to provide a natural-looking riparian area between the pathway and the creek. Dubbed Harold’s Walk, the pathway is named after a former mayor, Harold Thwaite, and a dedicated community volunteer, Harold Wiberg. The latter’s granddaughter, Carol ClementsDetwiller of Peachland, was present as one of the

VOLUNTEERS carry out some riparian planting last weekend. Westbank Walmart volunteers Kieran (left),
Mitchell (right) and their dad Rory Williams (kneeling), along with the assistant manager of the Westbank Walmart store, Al Davies (centre), helped plant nearly 100 native trees and bushes alongside Trepanier Creek to restore the bank and provide shade for spawning kokanee and other fish and wildlife in Peachland’s Trepanier Linear Park. volunteers digging holes and carefully planting the trees and shrubs Saturday. Not only will the use
of native plants help restore the shoreline of the creek, it will ultimately help conserve water, as ir-
rigation won’t be required once the plants become established, an important consideration in what is forecast to be the second drought year in the Okanagan. Peachland council voted in favour of partnering with the PSA and Walmart in the project and agreed that staff would
take care of the new plants during the first critical year while they become established. Duda Nursery, of Okanagan Falls, provided the plant materials and donated the transportation. The project is one the groups hope to continue further along the creek in future years.

Two men are facing drug charges after police busted a grow operation in Rutland over the weekend. On Saturday night, officers executed a drug warrant at a home in the 1000-block of Elwyn Road and found two men allegedly tending a marijuana grow operation when they entered the home. “One of the males immediately ran from police but was apprehended a short time later, in a nearby yard, by a police services dog,” said Const. Steve Holmes. Police seized 460 marijuana plants and numerous items associated to the grow operation. The men found at the property, aged 21 and 27, were released on promises to appear in court on recommended charges of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. The 21-year-old is facing an additional charge of flight from police.

I am Yoda and I am a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog. My owner, Carol, is principal of École KLO Middle School. In my youth, I would sit in her office and greet students. As I grew, I was trained as a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog and my job was to comfort students who were feeling sad, lonely or even angry. After a few minutes of cuddling and petting, my “patients” would feel so much better! Because of my success, Carol thought that Therapy Dogs like me could help students having difficulty with their reading skills. After more training, I was recruited into the “Therapy Animals Involved in Literacy Success” or TAILS program. Here, students practice their reading skills ‘out loud’ by reading to a trained Therapy Dog and handler. One of my best canine friends, Gracie, is particularly good at listening. Gracie’s owner, Susan, says that the TAILS Program “is motivating for the students and is making a positive difference in children’s’ lives.” it would be nice if this program was available in more schools. I also volunteer one evening a week at Spring Valley Care Centre. My handler, Irene Algar, takes me there to visit with the residents. They really like me and give me kisses and treats! I am proud to be a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog. Interested in learning more about the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program? Please visit www.sja.ca

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
IMMACULATA’S Nick Lalach tees off Monday at Sunset Ranch during the second event of the season on the Central Okanagan high school golf tour.
Make it 2-for-2 for the Mt. Boucherie Bears on the Central Okanagan high school golf tour. For the second straight event—Monday at Sunset Ranch—the Bears captured the team title, but it didn’t come without a fight from KSS. Boucherie and the Owls ended the regulation 18 holes tied for top spot with 306 totals. But the Bears were awarded by virtue of having a better score from their fifth player, a 79. The winning Boucherie team consisted of Lee
Campbell (74), Uday Suri (76), Devon Swallow (78), Brett Moore (79) and Daniel Richardson (79). Brandon Ortiz, a Grade 9 player from KLO topped all scores with a round of 73, while also leading the Owls. Rounding out the KSS squad was Jordan Oelrich (76), Blake Culbert (77), Charlie Lewthwaite (80) and Dylan Bond (83). The Immaculata Mustangs were third in the team competition with a 321 score, while Rutland took fourth at 323. Boucherie’s Lee
Campbell and Will Deck of OKM led the Grade 12s with a 74, while Oelrich and Rutland’s Brett Newman tied for third with 76. Uday Suri (76) of Boucherie was the top Grade 11 player. Among Grade 10s, Michael Lee of Immaculata was first with a 78. Rutland’s Madison Kapchinsky was the top female player with a 77. The next event on the local high school tour is Monday, April 26 at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club.

Groundbreaking weekend for Okanagan A’s Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Call it a history-making weekend by the Okanagan Athletics. For the first time in the program’s seven-season existence in the B.C. Premier Baseball League, the Kelowna-based team won three out of four games in a weekend series. On Saturday, the Athletics—formerly the Kelowna Cubs—got off to a shaky start losing 12-2 to the hometown Nanaimo Pirates. Keegan Moerike had three hits in the setback. But the A’s responded nicely in Game 2 with a 6-1 win over the Pirates as Grade 10 hurler Nolan Handley tossed a complete game three-hit gem for Okanagan. Brett Mc-
Nolan Handley Lure led the offense with a home run and a triple. On Sunday, Kyle Monster tossed a complete game five-hitter as the A’s downed the Parksville Royals 4-3. Jordan Wolfe had two RBIs as Okanagan scored all its runs in the third inning. In the series finale, Dillon Kakoschke had two RBIs and Danny Stearns and Wolfe each
had two hits as the A’s beat the Royals 8-5. Okanagan overcame a 4-1 deficit as Brandon Klym picked up the save. Despite not having played a single game at home thus far the A’s are
off to a 5-3 start and are drawing plenty of kudos from head coach Evan Bailey. “It was a pretty significant weekend because after the guys were blown out in Game 1, they
came back to win the last three,” said Bailey. “They showed a lot of heart and character playing on the road, there’s a lot of fight in them and they just don’t give up. We don’t have six of seven superstars, but we have 12 or 13 guys who can really play the game. They’re playing with confidence and I don’t think there’s been a lot of that here in the past.” With five wins, the A’s are already almost half way to the most victories ever for a Kelowna PBL team. The Cubs went 1137 last year. Okanagan will play its PBL home openers this weekend with a pair of doubleheaders against the White Rock Tritons at Elks Stadium. Action starts Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 1
p.m.
JUNIOR A’S
After losing their first three games on the road last weekend, the Okanagan A’s junior squad salvaged one victory. On Sunday afternoon, Eric McGinn pitched a complete game as A’s beat the White Rock Tritons 6-4. White Rock won the opener 3-2 despite a solid complete game effort from Jesse Thompson of the A’s. On Saturday, Okanagan lost a twin bill to Langley 11-1 and 4-0. The highlight of the twin bill for the Athletics was a 340-foot monster home run at McLeod Park by Dawson Yates. The last Grade 9 player to clear the fence in
Langley was Brett Lawrie, the promising Milwaukee Brewers prospect who played in the PBL with the Blaze. The A’s are 2-6.
BANTAM ATHLETICS
The Okanagan A’s took three of four games from their opponents on the road in B.C. Bantam AAA Baseball League action. On Saturday in Port Coquitlam, the A’s split a pair of games, beating Tri-City 9-6 in the opener, then losing 22-9 in Game 2. On Sunday, Okanagan swept both ends of a twin bill from Cowichan, 13-3 and 8-6. The A’s, now 5-3, will host the Vancouver Rockies for two games Sunday at Boucherie Park.

Sun set for spring camps Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Peter McCall and his coaching staff will get a feel for the Okanagan Sun’s future this weekend. The B.C. Football kConference club will host its 2010 development camp on Saturday tand Sunday with as many as 100 prospective young players expected to take fto the Apple Bowl’s east field. High school and midget-aged players from the Okanagan and beyond will have a chance to strut their stuff while also picking up some valuable tips from Sun coaches. “It’s a chance for the players to get to know the Sun and what we’re all about, a chance to meet the coaches and see what they maybe need to work on,” said McCall, entering his second season as head coach. “It’s also an opportunity for us to evaluate the talent that’s out there, maybe find some guys who have gone under the radar. “It’s a free camp where the kids can imtprove their football IQ,” added McCall, “and we can get to know them better, see a little bit of the future.”
Among the top prospects expected at camp will be Rutland’ Voodoos graduating all-star Robbie Yochim along with Mt. Boucherie receiver Ted Wannop. McCall also hopes to see Grade 11 KSS quarterback Taylor Loffler make an appearance for the two-day camp. While the vast majority of attendees will be from local high schools, McCall said players will come from as far away as Prince George and the Kootenays. If all goes as planned, he said as many as 10 to 12 players from the development camp will be invited back the following weekend for the Sun’s annual main spring camp, May 1 and 2. McCall and new player personnel director Howie Zaron have been beat-

Coyotes head to Calgary

The Okanagan College Coyotes take their .500 record on the road this weekend for Canadian College Baseball Conference action. OC (7-7) will visit the University of Calgary Dinos for doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. The Coyotes are coming of another split of four games, this time with the Kwantlen Polytechnic Eagles. On Saturday at Elks, Rob Alskne tossed five solid innings as OC won the opener 12-1. Bruce Wilkie went 3-for-4 with three RBis, while Adam Parliament scored twice and drove in three runs. Kwantlen rebounded in Game 2 on Saturday with a 7-3 win. The Eagles turned four walks into a five-run fourth inning on the way to victory.

Reed Quall led the OC offense with two walks and two runs scored. On Sunday, with leading hitter Spencer Kilpatrick out of the lineup due to an ankle injury, the Coyotes scored five in the first en route to an 8-2 win in Game 3. Rich Northcott delivered a bases-loaded double in the first. Wilkie had a double and a triple and Parliament went 3-for-4 with a long home run. In the finale, Kwantlen scored three times in the fourth off Coyotes starter Cory Wood for a 4-3 win. Parliament double twice for OC, while Quall went 3-for-3. Parliament is leading the league in home runs (4)and RBIs (17), while Kilpatrick is 2nd in hitting with a .444 batting average.
ing the bushes for talent during the off-season and expect about 100 players in town for spring camp, including 50 returnees. “We’re happy with where we’re at,” said McCall. “On paper there’s a lot of talent, but you still have to get them to play here. “Guys have other camps to go to and have other opportunities. So we need to put on a good camp, show them the facility, show them the city, and show them why Kelowna’s the place to play. “We’ll have guys from Alberta and Saskatchewan coming, but the more local kids we can get interested in our program, the better,” McCall continued. “You like to be able to pluck the kids right out of your own backyard, it’s so much easier that way. “I remember when I was growing up, I wanted to play for the Sun. That’s the mentality and enthusiasm we like to see from our local players,” he said. For more information or to register for the development camp this weekend, visit www.okanagansun.ca

POITRAS TOP COACH
UBCO Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball coach Greg Poitras can add the CCAA Coaching Excellence Award across all sports to his already impressive resume. The award recognizes a coach’s overall contribu-
tion to the sport as well as their positive leadership and commitment to educational goals. Earlier this spring, Poitras also won the BCCAA and CCAA coach of the year awards in men’s volleyball. Greg joined UBC Okanagan’s coaching staff in 2005 and the program has flourished ever since. His league and playoff record is 64 wins and 28
losses. He has won four provincial medals, one national silver and one national bronze in the five years. In 2009-10, the Heat posted the first unbeaten regular season in the program’s history with an 18-0 record. Whether he is working with the UBC Okanagan program, Volleyball B.C. provincial team programs or spending time as national Team
guest coach, Greg is always looking for the next professional development opportunity. Outside of UBC Okanagan, Greg is extremely active in the community. He spends countless hours working with the coaches of over 20 club teams in his role as the president and mentor of the Kelowna Volleyball Club. In addition he is an NCCP Level 1 and 2 learning facilitator.
Alex Basso Canadian Colleges Athletics Association. The award recognizes the student who best exemplifies skill, sportsmanship and dedication on the court, while also excelling in the classroom. Basso was instrumental in leading the Heat to

It was the Venom who knocked the Warriors from the playoff last year in the best-ofthree semifinal. The Rutland Raiders will play their season opener at home on Saturday night. Rutland will host the Kamloops Rattlers at 7 p.m. at Memorial. The Raiders posted a 4-9-1 record, then were eliminated from the TOJLL playoffs in the opening round by the Vernon Tigers. Vernon went on to win the league title in five games over the Kamloops Venom.

The Kelowna Raiders will look to bounce back from a season-opening loss in the Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League. On Friday, the fourtime defending champs will be in Kamloops to take on the Rattlers. The Raiders, who went 16-0 last season on the way to the league championship, kicked off 2010 with an 11-6 loss last Friday night at home to the Armstrong Shamrocks. Kelowna dug a hole early with penalties as Armstrong tallied for firstperiod power play goals.

program is just one of the many initiatives that FortisBC PowerSense offers
´
Homeowners planning to upgrade their homes this year can once again take advantage of rebates and incentives through the LiveSmart BC: Efficiency Incentive Program. FortisBC has partnered with the B.C. government, B.C. Hydro and Terasen Gas to provide assistance to people who complete energy efficiency upgrades under the direction of a certified energy advisor. “Improving the energy efficiency of existing homes is essential for meeting demand for electricity through conservation,” said Michael Mulcahy, FortisBC’s vicepresdent of customer and corporate services. “Through FortisBC’s collaboration with the provincial government and utility partners, customers in our service area can easily access incentives that are consistent with what’s available throughout the province.” The popular program was put on hold last August after hitting its threeyear target in just 15 months. The additional funding will extend the program through March 2011. To participate in the program, homeowners can book an audit by a certified energy advisor who will assess their home for potential energy savings. The program provides incentives for specific energy efficient upgrades including windows and door, insulation, heat pumps, high efficiency furnaces and more. When a homeowner completes some or all of the energy efficient upgrades, a postretrofit audit qualifies the homeowner for refunds. FortisBC PowerSense is committed to helping customers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing both financial incentives and advice on energy efficient technologies and practices. Since its inception in 1989, FortisBC PowerSense has helped southern interior customers save over 360 million kWhs, enough energy to power over 27,700 homes for a year. The LiveSmart BC

ink Shirt Day may well be the one day of the year victims of bullying feel somewhat safe. The issue is illuminated under a media spotlight, with schools, businesses and the general public joining in the cry against bullies’ attacks and the unnecessary hurt they cause. For one day, victims are backed by an army of supporters who don pink clothing to show allegiance. That day— April 14 in B.C.—has come and
gone for another year. Now that the spotlight has been dimmed and the pink shirts tucked away, it will be easier for the issue to crawl its way back. The true test of the antibullying campaign is whether we let it. After all, bullying has no season or arena. In varying degrees and manifestations, bullying occurs year-round— at school, in the malls, inside the workplace and on the playgrounds. And, thanks to the
growing use of social networking sites and instant/text messaging, bullying has gone digital. Victims can now be reached wherever there is a phone or an Internet connection. Psychologists say there are many strategies for victims to ward off bullies: Be assertive; if possible, avoid areas where bullies prey; stay calm; and don’t react. There are also tips for children who show signs of being bullied, including how to speak in a firm voice, and re-
porting issues to teachers and other guardians when parents aren’t around. Most importantly, parents need to keep the lines of communication open, and talk to children about bullying year-round, not just one day out of 365. The fight against bullying involves the entire community. Once everyone knows their role—and is well-equipped to play it—there may just be enough of us to help those in need.

That prompted the government The folks leading the fight against to announce it will reply with its own the HST in B.C. appear willing to go pro-HST propaganda, to be delivered with the first approach but that could to every household in B.C. end up hurting their bid to sign up If the war over HST was not almore than the required 10 per cent of ready underway, it sure is now.
Despite every indication the government plans to thumb its nose at the anti-HST initiative, regardless of how many signatures are collected, the ongoing tally strategy has some antiHST supporters concerned. Locally, two ridings are unofficially at, or near, the 10 per cent mark, while the other two are only halfway there. It may be early in the campaign— just 14 days into the 90-day collection period—but already apathy is feared. And that’s the problem with premature annunciation—once you tell the world you have enough, its hard to go back and ask for more. With public opinion polls saying
as much as 85 per cent of B.C. residents oppose the HST, the ground would appear fertile for growing those petition lists. So Liberal MLAs have been dispatched to promote the HST in their ridings, telling constituents why it is such a good idea for B.C. Locally, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick recently used his MLA report column in this newspaper to extoll the virtues of the tax. He, like Finance Minister Colin Hansen, maintains the HST will be good for the B.C. economy. It will create jobs, he says, help attract investment and make B.C. more competitive with Ontario, which also
plans to introduce an HST this year. But opponents counter, saying it will hurt the economy because some sectors, like tourism and hospitality will be hit with what amounts to a new seven per cent tax—now that their services are no longer exempt from what would have been the PST amount. And the battle over the HST grows. The government is finding opposition in what it considers “safe” Liberal ridings to be some of the strongest. Maybe the opponents are right. Maybe, when it comes to the HST, there are no “safe” seats. It is, after all, a numbers game.

Long-term pollution harming our population To the editor: Autism Tackled With Early Diagnosis; Treatment” (Capital News letters, April 7) The 2009 film The Cove (www.thecovemovie.com) recently won the Academy Award for best documentary. It focuses on the annual killing of dolphins in a National Park at Taiji, Japan. The bottlenose dolphins most resembling the 1960s TV star, Flipper, are not killed but sold to tourist attractions such as SeaWorld and dolphinariums worldwide for up to $150,000.
One of the special features on the DVD is the mini-doc Mercury Rising. The claim is made that according to the EPA, there are 640,000 children born in the U.S. annually who have been exposed to dangerous levels of mercury in their mother’s wombs, with millions more exposed to mercury as newborns through a preservative called thimerosal, found in some vaccines. U.S. environmental attorney Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. comments: “The generation of children who were born after
1989 are the sickest generation in the history of our country. Diabetes, asthma (which was virtually unknown when I was a kid) food allergies, ADD, hyperactivity disorder, tics, all kinds of learning delays, speech delays, and of course, autism. Nobody knows what’s causing the autism epidemic. The occurrence of autism was about one in 10,000 during the early 1960s for example. By the 1980s, the best data show that it was about one in 2,500 kids were born with autism. Today the data show
W HEALTH CARE
Excellent care in hands of doctors, staff at KGH To the editor: I feel obligated to write this letter about Interior Health and the Kelowna General Hospital and my latest unscheduled visit there on March 21st by ambulance. Starting with the ambulance personnel I was thoroughly impressed with the response and the treatment I received while in their very capable hands. This exemplary treatment continued when I arrived at the emergency entrance. I was signed into
KGH in minutes of arrival, blood tests were performed, a cardiogram was given, X-rays were taken, an ultrasound was given and even a CT scan which I understand takes months to get an appointment. After each event a Dr. J.A. Tersier came to me, explained the results, and guided me to the next test. From 7:30 in the morning when I arrived, all was completed in a few hours, by noon. My subsequent visit to the hospital was the same or better. I saw a Dr. Sarbit who
went through with me, some of the results pertaining to my tests. And again in my next visit to Dr. Sarbit he performed a bronchoscopy. Results not yet known as of this writing. The whole reason for writing this letter is to silence all the critics who continually bad mouth Interior Health and Kelowna General Hospital. I have nothing but praise for this group and of KGH. Gerald Graham Damskov, Westbank
W CHARITY
that about one in every 157 children have autism, and perhaps as high as one in every 80 boys.” One of the reasons given by the Centre for Disease Control & Prevention for this huge spike in the data is that doctors are now better at diagnosing autism. Kennedy responds: “Well, this of course is nonsense, because missing autism is like missing a train wreck. I mean the ultimate answer is—if this is just an artifact of better data collection, then where are all the 30-year-old autistics?
They don’t exist. Clearly this is a specious argument and yet they embrace it and they broadcast that to the public. There’s about 13 studies that the CDC relies on—saying that there’s no proven connection between autism and mercury and vaccines.

Good care at KGH To the editor: In reponse to the editor’s note, From Confusion Emerges Organization at KGH and the companion letter to the editor: Thoughtful Care at KGH, in the March 28 edition, I must share my story. Recently diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and in the midst of waiting eight weeks to see a cardiologist, I made my way to KGH Emergency Saturday night after realizing my heart was not going to slow down enough for me to get any rest that night. ‘Within 15 minutes of my arrival, at 10:45 p.m. I had my vitals taken, an EKG and blood work done. Another 10 minutes later I was in a monitoring bed “plugged in” and being cared for by a team of student nurses, RNs and a doctor, all of whom displayed nothing but the ut-
most professionalism and desire to help me. Yes, it was busy, yes there was confusion, but only as a result of everyone on the team trying to do their very best to help all the patients. The check-in procedures could not have gone any smoother, from the volunteers who assisted in filling out the paper as to why I was there to the triage team that quickly and correctly assessed my condition to the administrative staff who were very cheery at that hour on a Saturday night. I was pleasantly surprised and very confident that I will get the best care possible should I need to return. And yes, there were parents there “bonding” with their kids. Larry Dieno, Kelowna

Ellison’s heart in fundraising To the editor: On behalf of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon’s Kelowna area office, I would like to offer heartfelt thanks to the people of Ellison for their continuing support of the foundation during Heart Month. In February, volunteers in Ellison put their hearts into it and raised almost $2,500 for vital heart and stroke research. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon has invested over
$200 million in cardiovascular research and public education to save lives. Since 1955, the foundation has helped reduce the death rate from cardiovascular disease by 70 per cent. Still, one in three Canadian deaths are the result of heart disease and stroke. Today, the foundation, a volunteer-based health charity, continues to lead in eliminating heart disease and stroke through the advancement of research and its application, the promo-
tion of healthy living, and advocacy. With the help of communities like Ellison, we are moving one step closer to achieving our vision of generations free from heart disease and stroke. This is what happens when you put your heart into it. Suzanne Pugh, area manager, Okanagan Kootenays, Heart and Stroke Foundation

W MPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT
Ottawa wants to restore fair representation to all provinces
A
recent editorial in the Capital News asked the question: Do we really need 30 more MPs? The question was in reference to proposed changes by the federal government to move forward on its commitment to restore the principle of representation by population in the House of Commons. The legislation would update the representation formula, which was established in 1985, to restore fair representation to all the provinces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complicated issue involving complicated formulas but the long and short of it is that the people in the three provinces of Alberta, Ontario and B.C. are growing faster than other Canadian provinces yet their representation in Parliament is not keeping pace. There are the cynics, of course, who assume that the current government is undertaking this commitment because it somehow will benefit from the new seats. But, there is no ulterior motive. Which political party wins these new seats will be determined solely by the voters. No, the real winners of this proposal are the citizens of these provinces since, at the moment, their votes are essentially worth less than votes in other provinces. Some have estimated that, based on cur-
Ron Cannan rent population and distribution of seats in Parliament, one vote in B.C. has a value of .90 versus a vote in Manitoba, which has a value of 1.22. That canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change if we keep things the way they are because under our constitution, no matter how much the population shrinks in other provinces a certain number of seats are guaranteed. In countries like the U.S., seats are readjusted as populations grow and recede but here in constitutionally complicated Canada the only way to obtain some semblance of fairness is to increase the seats in provinces where the population is growing. The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal is a step forward. By enhancing the representation of fastergrowing provinces while protecting the seat counts of provinces with relatively declining populations, this bill supports the principle of â&#x20AC;&#x153;proportionate representation of the provincesâ&#x20AC;? enshrined in the constitution. To the fiscally pru-
dent who see the increase in seats in terms of a dollar cost to taxpayers, future growth is constrained in a principled way under the proposed formula so that additional seats are provided only if a province is growing at a faster rate than the national average. Therefore, after the 2021 census, there is projected to be only four
THE
additional MPs and, after the 2031 census, only five more. What will it mean for Kelowna-Lake Country? Our riding is one of the most populated ridings in B.C., so there is a good chance that our current riding boundaries will change. But we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that for some time. The adjustment will

propose an electoral map for the provinces under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act. The public and MPs are given an opportunity to comment during this process, which lasts from one to two years. Once Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new electoral map is finalized, it becomes effective on the first dissolution
of Parliament that occurs at least one year after it is proclaimed by the Governor in Council. Taking into account all steps in the readjustment process, the new seats would likely not be available until about 2014. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country. ron@cannan.ca

time played by people of all ages. My grandfather played the sport and I am the proud owner of his 1930s vintage bowling balls that hang in my rec room. I really enjoyed my recent meeting with the president of the local club, Byron Nate. He filled me in on some of the history of the club and his mandate to build the club back to its former glory. The membership has declined over the past few years mainly because the greens are not in the best of condition. However, with a little TLC the grass can be resurrected. I think we’re really missing out on something here folks. This is a sport that is very inexpensive to participate in and is accessible for all ages. Currently, the youngest member is in his teens. Having this facility in the middle of our major park is a blessing. I believe if Kelowna could support a lawn bowling club when its population was less than 10,000 people, then it should be a no-brainer today. If I have tweaked the interest of any readers who may not even have known we have this sport facility and would like to know more about it, call Byron Nate at 250-8600887.

since 1914, occupied the high ridge situated next to the Douai Plain in the northern segment of the warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western front (which meandered all the way from Switzerland to the shores of the North sea). Vimy Ridge was described by Tim Cook, in his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shock Troopsâ&#x20AC;?, as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blue-grey promontory, running along a 7-kilometreâ&#x20AC;? axis, the high points of which â&#x20AC;&#x153;allowed the Germans to look into the Canadian lines.â&#x20AC;? In his own book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vimy,â&#x20AC;? author Pierre Berton called the ridge â&#x20AC;&#x153;as high as a 50 storey buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a miniature Gibraltar, honeycombed with German tunnels and dugouts, a labyrinth of steel and concrete fortifications, bristling with guns of every calibre.â&#x20AC;? In the two years prior to 1917, numerous attempts had been made by allied forces to dislodge the Germans from this advantageous ground. The British and the French (twice) had each

Robert Smithson failed to overcome this obstacle to eastward advancement, at the cost of over 300,000 casualties between the opposing forces. By all accounts, the Germans were confident that their elevated position was impregnable. Berton mentioned a sign posted on the German side which read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody can take Vimy Ridge but all the Canadians in Canada canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold it.â&#x20AC;? In the years prior to 1917, hundreds of thousands of lives had also been spent elsewhere along the front, in places like Ypres and the Somme, with little in the form of tangible results.

Smithson from B2 The front had bogged down in a bloody stalemate of machine gun fire, poison gas, and artillery bombardment. Vimy Ridge was as a key obstacle to be overcome by the Allied Forces, but what reason was there to think the stillfledgling Canadian Corps could achieve the impossible? Perhaps none, which may be why Canadian General Arthur Currie started from the perspective that new tactics would be required. Currie seized on the unprecedented, concept that every man must know the plan. This approach was contrary to the military tradition that the brains are at the top of the organization and the brawn at the bottom, and never the twain should meet. In the days and months preceding the grand assault on the ridge, Gen. Currie’s boys were told every detail of the attack. A Berton put it in his book: “Each soldier would know not only his own task in the assault but also the tasks of others; thus, if necessary, a private could take over from a corporal, a corporal from a sergeant,

vious part of such largescale planning, but it was apparently unprecedented at the time. The training, according to Berton, “had the morale-building effect of making each man feel that he was trusted, that his leaders considered him intelligent enough to be let in on what had been secret information in previous battles.” The ultimate result, of course, was a military victory that has been hailed as one of the decisive moments in the building of Canada’s status as a nation. I wonder if businesses today apply enough of Gen. Currie’s theories in relation to their employees. Are employees brought into the circle of confidence when it comes to “the plan?” Or perhaps the first question that should be asked is whether, in fact, there is a plan? Or are they treated as robotniks who have no need to know the higherlevel objectives of the organization? Are employees drilled on the key elements of their job or are they just handed a general job description and set loose? Are they involved in the sort of vertical integration envisioned by Gen.
ARE EMPLOYEES DRILLED ON THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THEIR JOB OR ARE THEY JUST HANDED A GENERAL JOB DESCRIPTION AND SET LOOSE?
a sergeant from an officer. Indeed, there would be times when the casualties were such that sergeants ran companies and sergeant-majors ran battalions.” Author Cook recounted that: “Victory would hinge on the infantry, who were instructed over and over again, through the use of models and courses built from aerial photographs to simulate the battlefield. General Currie … ordered the construction of a full-size practice course in which every known enemy trench and machine gun nest, as well as suspected enemy position, was represented.” In support of this broad dissemination of information, some 40,000maps were distributed to section leaders, marking their intended line of advance on paper. It seems like an ob-

way? Or are they simply directed to a cubicle and left to find their way outward from there? Sometimes, looking backwards can be the best way to figure out how to go forwards.
In the case of Gen. Currie and his Canadian Corps, lessons learned on the way up an unwelcoming hill are ones all business people would do well to remember. Robert Smithson is a lawyer in Kelowna prac-

penalties applying for non compliance. The penalties for remitting source deductions late have also been changed from the 10% for a first office to a graduated system depending upon the number of days late. A point of caution if you are remitting the source deductions through your financial institution is that they may still be considered late if the bank takes a few days to process the transaction. If you make the remittances on-line through the CRA site, they will be considered to be on-time. Again the issue of director’s liability is in the forefront of several court cases. Directors must ensure that they have enough liability coverage. The courts have decided that a director of a corporation must act in the best long term interests of the corporation, rather than focusing on short term profit. If the corporation files for bankruptcy any fees
due to the CRA will have precedence over any other creditor. The CRA’s administrative policy indicates that remuneration will not be challenged on reasonableness if it is paid to an active shareholder or manager who is a resident of Canada by a Canadian controlled private corporation. The CRA does look for payments that may have been made to nonactive shareholders, such as children and spouses and does review whether the remuneration is reasonable for the contribution made by the non active shareholder. Active shareholders can receive the non-active business income. With the dropping corporate tax rates and the upcoming adjustment to the dividend tax credit for eligible dividends, tax planning for shareholder/managers will be challenging. The automobile allowances and expenses are the same as they were in
2008 and are expected to be carried over into 2010 without any changes. The CCA limit for the purchase of an automobile will be 30,000 plus taxes. The deductible leasing costs are $800 a month plus taxes and the deductible interest is $300 a month for vehicles acquired after 2005. The tax exempt mileage reimbursement allowances are $.52 for the first 5,000 km and $.46 thereafter. The rate for the taxable benefit of using a company owned vehicle is $.24 and $.21 if you are in the business of selling cars. There were some slight changes to some of the Capital Cost Allowance classes and rates. The special 50% straight line Class 43 for machinery and equipment acquired after March 19, 2007 has been extended until the end of 2011. There is a temporary Class 52 for computer

Update on ‘09 corporate tax policies hardware and system software that was purchased after Jan. 27, 2009, and before Feb. 1, 2011. This class allows a 100% write off with no half year rule. Management fees are still under the radar and several cases of these fees have not been allowed in the courts. The critical component is that a management service contract was in place between the parties describing the duties of the fees in broad enough terms so that if they should come under scrutiny, any duties performed would not be offside. Scientific Research and Development claims must be made within 12 months of the corporation’s fiscal year end. The dividend tax credit with respect to eligible dividends will be undergoing some changes starting in 2010 to bring the credit more in line with the reducing tax rates of the corporation. If you are considering entering into a partnership make sure that you have a partnership agreement in writing between you that indicates the actions that must be taken to have a bona fide partnership. There is a particular case in the courts whereby a verbal promise was made between the partners, but one partner became frustrated by the amount of time it was taking to close a deal that he went and closed the deal

There are no bad dreams in the entrepreneurial world I
find myself feeling rather professorial this week concerning the glory of pursuing and achieving the entrepreneurial dream. So I thought I would tackle an approach for you and I to explore that

sunshine. But others see a light between the clouds. These optimistic individuals have an opportunity to take â&#x20AC;&#x153;a stepâ&#x20AC;? to pursue their entrepreneurial dream like never before. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that unemployed workers,

professionals and graduates choose entrepreneurship over months of job search misery. We are taught that if we follow the rules of the world, we will achieve our measure of happiness and reward. Unfortunately, these rules do not always stimulate creativity and passionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;rather, they demand conformity. So, get ready to break the rules, have some fun with yourself, follow your heart and ready yourself to unearth your entrepreneurial dream. You may not be absolutely assured of where it will lead you, but what I can offer you, with unyielding conviction, is the act of achieving each step is amazing. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s begin our entrepreneurial adventure together and have some fun. â&#x20AC;˘ Believe in yourself.

Joel Young entrepreneurial venture idea, and your energy and passion will attract others like a magnet to help you to succeed. â&#x20AC;˘ Write down your ideas. There is no doubt in my mind that as you this column, there is an idea burning inside of you waiting to be born. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there when you awake in the morning and when you lay your head to sleep. It feels like a restless friend. Take the time to write it down. Your entrepreneurial dream â&#x20AC;&#x153;ideaâ&#x20AC;? is now born, alive and ready for you to spawn its growth. â&#x20AC;˘ Buy yourself time. Pick a specific time each week to work solely on your idea. Let nothing distract youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this is your special time. I use a 14 column accounting tablet to diagram my actionable ideas, no matter where I think they may lead
me. It helps me visualize my thoughts at a glance across the broader spectrum of that 14 column landscape. Commit yourself to the time and you will find yourself moving closer to bringing your â&#x20AC;&#x153;dreamâ&#x20AC;? to life. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep an open mind; trust your own instincts. This is not the time to judge yourself or other people. Listen to others around you that you may have engaged in your dream journey and listen and learn from them. â&#x20AC;˘ Make a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why I Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Do Thisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list. Include everything that you think may impede you from implementing your entrepreneurial dream idea on this list from â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not sufficiently educatedâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153; I do not have enough money.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Now tear the list up. Yes, I know what you are saying but realize there is nothing on this list to hold you back if you are willing to work hard and take chances. With conviction, tear up the list and throw the small pieces over your shoulder for good luck. Then tell yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only barrier to achieving my dream is me.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;˘ Create your own to do list. Keep the lists in a book for ready reference and check off. Then attack the to do list with gusto and courage. Prioritize your list do the harder tasks first check off your completions then congratulate yourself in your accomplishments. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep your word. That is to others and yourself because your credibility can take you places and reward you beyond your imagination â&#x20AC;˘ Create your idea sanctuary. Set up your comfortable space surrounded by those tools that you feel you will need to keep you focussed and assist your progress on your personal â&#x20AC;&#x153; idea trainâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delay. If you allow yourself to procrastinate, your chase of the entrepreneurial dream may be lost and not reach manifestation. Please always remember if you dare to take this journey of journeys, the beginning starts with your heart and your passion.

Still glowing from being awarded The 2010 Radio “Promotion of the Year” at Canadian Music Week’s Canadian Music and Broadcast

KELOWNA’S OWN ‘We Are The City’ – winners of last year’s PEAK Performance Project. $275,000 to $315,000 in development cash awards and will see all Top 20 artists receive artist development funding. The 1st place artist will receive $100,500, 2nd is $75,000, 3rd is $50,000, 4th is $10,000, 5th is $5,000 and all 20 finalists will receive $3,500 each in initial artists development funding. In addition to this, all of this year’s 20 finalists will receive a showcase spot at The Kelowna 2010 Break Out West Festival presented by the Western Canadian Music Alliance Oct. 21 to 24, 2010. The Top 20 Artists will be announced on May 31 followed by the PEAK Performance Orientation (June 12, 2010), Boot Camp (Aug. 27 to Sept 3, 2010) and the PEAK Performance Concert Series (September through October 2010). The final three artists will be announced on Nov. 1 followed by the final showcase and the crowing of the ultimate PEAK performer in late November at the Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver. The $5.29 million PEAK Performance Project is designed to educate, promote, develop and hopefully launch the careers of some of British Columbia’s top emerging artists. It also hopes to foster the province’s music industry and create a sense of community among music professionals.
In addition to the rigorous six month artist development program and the $315,000 in artist development funding, The Pattison Group of Companies will also contribute an annual media credit of $1,000,000 in support of the PEAK Performance Project by marketing, promoting and advertising the PEAK Performance Project and the participating artists making it the largest individual radio station project in Canada. So if you’re a solo artist or in a band and you’re struggling to make ends meet but still not wanting to give up on your dreams of rock stardom, then I highly recommend that you apply for the PEAK Performance Project immediately. You only have 10 more days! Having been part of the project in its maiden year, I saw the huge impact that it made on all of the top 20 finalists. You can’t pay for opportunities like this and, coincidentally, the project is actually paying you once you make it to the top 20— pretty sweet deal, right? Hit up www.p3.fm for more information on The Peak Performance Project and how you can apply today. Pyper Geddes is the assistant manager at Habitat in downtown Kelowna. pyper@thehabitat.ca

The new village was named Kalala and refers to this miracle in the pursuit of harmony.” With more than 35 acres, Kalala produces close to 7,000 cases of wine per year. Karnail maintains his mantra of creating “recession friendly wines”—almost all of his wines are priced under $20. 2009 brought home some very prestigious awards for Kalala: • Canadian Wine Awards,
September, 2009 • Bronze Medals: 2008 Gewürztraminer and 2007 Merlot • 14th Northwest Wine Summit, May 2009: • Bronze Medal, 2007 Riesling • Bronze Medal, 2006 Zweigelt • 29th annual PacificRim International Wine Competition, April 24, 2009 • Bronze Medal, 2006 Zweigelt. Congratulations for Kalala’s recent impressive win in France. Kalala Chardonnay Icewine 2007 has won a gold medal at Chardonnay du Monde in France. Jennifer Schell edits B.C.

W CD REVIEWS
More ‘same old’ from No. 1 self promoter USHER: RAYMOND V RAYMOND (JIVE/SONY)
I have this theory that earlier R&B stars like Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Smokey Robinson etc., all used to come up with great songs that they would then record to sell with their terrific talents. Today, too many R&B ‘stars’ write mediocre material but then use these songs to sell themselves and their carefully planned personas. Usher has just released his sixth album and it is pretty much the same old same old. The exception is the hit Papers where, like the CD title Raymond V Raymond indicates, Usher is singing about signing papers to finalize his divorce (galvanizing stuff eh?). After this the songs are all off to clubland where Usher brags about getting just about any woman he wants because he is such a big star. Ultra cheesy titles such as Pro Lover, Foolin’ Around, So Many Girls and Making Love (Into The Night) tell the whole dull story. There are, however, a couple of midtempo dance tunes with cool grooves on OMG thanks to will.i.am and So Many Girls that has a solid hip hop dance pulse. Unless you are a big fan of divorce details and Usher’s sex life braggadocio—pass. C-
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell
MGMT: CONGRATULATIONS (COLUMBIA)
MGMT are a unique band of popsters who combine indie electronica with some psychedelia somewhat like their inscrutable contemporaries The Flaming Lips. Congratulations is only their second album but it is poised to solidify the band as stars with a big following. I happened to listen to this album during an extended drive so I heard it several times and liked it more with each listen, although I cannot say I understand what is going on any more than I did on the first go around. This is obscure and arty indie rock but it is almost always beguiling. There are several shorter nuggets including the current hit Flash Delirium that sounds like Ziggy
Stardust fronting a ’60s girl group. There is also the airy dweeb pop I Found A Whistle while there is a semi-mockumentary song about pop legend Brian Peter George St. John Le Baptiste de la Salle Eno —or simply Brian Eno as he is better known. There is also a 12-minute opus here called Siberian Breaks that the band self describes as a Pop Surf Opera. Loopy and quirky stuff that is getting great notices and somehow worms its way into your cranium. B+
JAKOB DYLAN: WOMEN + COUNTRY (COLUMBIA)
This is the second solo album from Bob’s son Jakob Dylan while his band The Wallflowers remains on hiatus. The album has made its debut at the No.12 spot on the Billboard charts making this album flash on the radar right out of the chute. The disc was produced by T Bone Burnett which may have helped
boost sales as he has done wonders with roots music from the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou to Roy Orbison to Elvis Costello and many more. Burnett and Dylan stick to a very rustic and rural sound on Women + Country with lots of mellow acoustic instruments and dog house bass. The songs are almost all ballads but are fleshed out nicely with cool backing vocals from Neko Case and Kelly Hogan as well as pedal steel, fiddle and banjo. There is a hint of New Orleans jazz horns on Lend A Hand while my fave track here, Truth For A Truth, has an ominous David Lynch and 007 guitar vibe. There is also mood of gravitas on several songs with warning titles such as Yonder Comes The Blues, They’ve Trapped Us Boys, Down On Your Shield and Everybody’s Hurting. A solid slice of rootsy Americana and all new original songs. B
LARRY GATLIN & THE GATLIN BROTHERS: PILGRIM (CURB)
Larry Gatlin retired his band of brothers 17 years ago when his style
of harmony-laden country music fell out of favour with the new traditionalists and the hits dried up. Gatlin moved back to his hometown in Texas but the death of one of his best friends and mentors, Johnny Cash, drew him out of retirement. The result is this fine new release that has been earning far reaching and solid reviews, especially in country circles. Gatlin often adds narratives between songs where he speaks briefly about his friendship with JR (as Cash was known to his friends) and Gatlin has recorded a new song dedicated to Cash using the Big River Tennessee Two rhythm behind his new song Johnny Cash Is Dead And His House Burned Down (making perhaps a left handed slap towards contemporary Nashville) while he asks for permission back into the Grand Ol’ Opry club on Say Nashville, Whadda Ya Say?. Anyway, this disc was nicely recorded by Cash’s son John Carter Cash and Kris Kristofferson is along for a ride that old country fans might wish to search out. B

Julie was passionate about gardening, and during their 17 years at ‘the Ranch’, she created a beautiful oasis that she loved to share with anyone who visited. Julie also loved to travel, and after much encouragement was able to convince Jake to go on many adventures. They spent 12 out of the last 24 months touring North America in their much enjoyed ‘home on wheels’. Julie was the heart and foundation of her family, and a treasured friend to those who were lucky to know her. She will be missed and loved forever.
