Hansen remains ‘optimistic’ Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR
Three years away from an election, B.C. finance minister Colin Hansen appeared to be on the stump when he arrived in this Liberal-laden region for a presentation entitled Building a Better B.C. “I’m very optimistic for 2013,” he said Tuesday afternoon, when asked whether the Liberals would survive to see another four years in the legislature. “Over the last nine years we’ve built a solid economy, there have been record highs of job creation and when you look at the nine-year track record, B.C. can be seen as an economic leader.” Regardless of his take, getting British Columbians on the same page, may require some significant action because the party is contending with plummeting popularity that seems to be fuelled by dissent over the HST. An online Angus Reid public opinion poll of 801 British Columbians released last week, shows a 23-point drop in B.C. COLIN HANSEN faces Liberal support in media scrum after serving as July, compared to the keynote speaker for the 46 per cent of peoKelowna Chamber of ple who voted for the Commerce luncheon. party in May 2009.

STANDING AMIDST the rubble of what used to be their home, Greg Cruickshank and Jennifer Lockstead-Hicks survey the fire destruction of their garage, where Cruickshank spent many hours tinkering on old cars, an old boat and a Harley motorcycle, along with a collection of tools he had spent a lifetime accruing. Their property was the only one seriously damaged by last week’s Seclusion Bay fire.

Fire victims face rebuilding their lives Barry Gerding EDITOR
The couple who lost their home to the Seclusion Bay Fire last week have begun the arduous process of rebuilding. Greg Cruikshank and Jennifer Lockstead-Hicks are not only rebuilding
their home, but also their lives, moving past the personal possessions that were lost in the blaze. And they are doing so with a major regret hanging over their heads, that they did not renew their house insurance this year. “We made a decision to cancel our insurance
and that is a huge regret for us now, but we are trying to focus on the positive and move forward from that,” said Lockstead-Hicks. That decision, coupled with the fire damage, may also exclude them from any emergency relief funds from the provincial
government. That funding vehicle does not cover damage for losses that could have been insured. As a comparison, the mud slide damage to property owners in Oliver caused earlier this year was given some emergency relief mitigation

W OK FILM FESTIVAL
LOCAL FILMMAKER Heath Tait has won a string of accolades for his autobiographical film Vancouver Vagabond—the first of a planned trilogy. The awards include the prestigious Platinum Reel Award, from the 2009 Nevada International Film Festival, the Golden Palm Award from the 2010 Mexico International Film Festival, the Silver Ace Award from the 2010 Las Vegas International Film Festival, The Indie Award and The Accolade from the 2010 Indie Fest in San Diego.
Glover to honour his commitment Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The president of the Okanagan Film Festival Society has left the building—actually the country—but the shows will go on without him and a few of the expected guests. Jason Woodford, who leaves office as president of the Okanagan Film Festival Society this summer after six years in the position, is on his way to Europe to shoot the reunion of Emerson, Lake and Palmer for his own documentary project. Meantime, the remaining film festival society members are fielding changes to the guest list after learning top Canadian filmmaker Carl Bessai will not attend the screening of his film, Cole, as promised. A team from Bangladeshi are still up in the air as to whether they will fly in for their premiere, but the American character actor Danny Glover is planning to attend the screening of No Problems, a music video
he’s acting in from director Kelly Dymon, which shows Friday in the Kelowna Community Theatre. “Things are changing by the moment,” David Woodford, society treasurer, said Tuesday afternoon. The festival runs today through Sunday and was said to have received the most submissions ever in its 13th year, prompting organizers to include more films in the final cut. There are more than 130 films screening over the five-day event in several venues around town. Society members say it’s very hard to establish how the fairly new festival ranks within the festival circuit. Where the Vancouver Film Festival will sell out all 400 seats to every screening it has, the Okanagan International Film Festival only sold out two screenings last year and three the year before, according to Leo Bartels, of Leo’s Videos. That being said, when he attended the Whistler Film Festival, which runs

in early December, the numbers were very similar to the OIFF, meaning it is establishing a fairly strong presence. As for how they’re going to do this year, on the night before the festival began, there was little anyone could say about the expected attendance.
“We don’t tend to sell a lot of passes,” Bartels said. “Ninety per cent of tickets are sold at the door.” For local filmmaker Heath Tait, whose film Vancouver Vagabond makes its Canadian debut on Friday, those numbers need to be pretty big.
He’s hoping to use his showing here to curry favour with other Canadian festivals who have, thus far, shut him out. His film documents the problems in the Canadian film industry, drawing an interesting metaphorical comparison between the orchard in-
dustry’s woes and those of struggling artists trying to make a go of what he terms Canada’s ghettoized filmmaking world. “If you’re a white, straight male in this country you’re shit out of luck,” he said in an interview this week, noting he thinks the subsidies that do exist for Canadian filmmakers all go to minorities. “It’s a minority, multicultural objective and that kind of pigeon holes a lot of the content that comes out.” Tait said he feels betrayed by his country, which he thinks doesn’t support talent and intellectual creativity, noting he believes the government subsidizes minorities but has otherwise handed filmmaking over to Hollywood, agreeing to put what little protections and money it has toward television. He said he is one of the few who will stand up and talk about the issue and wants his views, however controversial, to be known. By contrast, Okanagan College professor
Marc Arellano has made a film about protecting the minority populations immigrating and working in the area’s orchard industry. His film debuts the same night. A local Shaw Cable personality, Doug Brown, also has an entry. The film festival offers budding young talent in the local high schools a chance to test their hand at competing in the field with a 48-hour film challenge pitting students from different high schools against one another. The resulting movies will be shown Friday beginning at 3 p.m. in the Kelowna Community Theatre, with several of the festival’s top draws to follow. For a full listing of films and up-to-date information on what’s happening at the festival in the days to come visit www.okanaganfilmfestival.com. Tickets can be purchased on the date of the show at the door for those who do not have a festival pass. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
W MISSING PERSON
Police search Okanagan Lake for suspected drowning victim Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
RCMP were searching Okanagan Lake on Tuesday as they tried to locate a man who is presumed to have drowned the night before. Around dusk on Monday, a group of five friends who had spent the evening
on the lake wake surfing and fishing were travelling back to the Eldorado boat ramp when the boat operator slowed the boat abruptly. “The victim, who was standing at the edge of the front of the boat, lost his balance and pitched forward into the water in front of the boat,”
said Const. Steve Holmes. “The others in the boat heard a bump as the boat passed over the victim and they dove in after him when they saw him floating briefly behind the boat.” The friends were not able to get to the man, who was not wearing a life jacket, before he sank
from view. Police say the men continued to look for the 25-year-old for an hour before steering the pontoon boat back to shore, where they called police. Two fire department boats were launched and searched the area where the victim is believed to have fallen in. Crews also
conducted a shoreline search before calling the search off for the night. The search resumed by water and air again on Tuesday and the victim’s name was not being released Tuesday as his family was being notified. The drowning is at least the third on Okanagan Lake this year.

Inmate faces attempt murder charge An inmate serving time for a Kelowna break and enter has been charged with attempted murder following an assault on an inmate at a Lower Mainland correctional facility. Alexander Tanasescu, 27, is alleged to have attacked a 36-year-old inmate in a common area at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre on May 19. That man remains in hospital in a vegetative state, say RCMP. “The victim is severely brain damaged and unable to care for
himself,” said Supt. Dave Walsh, of Ridge Meadows RCMP. Tanasescu was sentenced back in April to 135 days in jail, after credit for time already served, after being arrested last year for a Kelowna area break and enter. He was also handed two years of probation. Now, he’s expected in court this week on the new charge of attempted murder. Meanwhile, B.C. Corrections has completed its own internal investigation into the assault at the 256th Street prison.
Spokesperson Marnie Mayhew won’t say what prompted the violent attack. “Our own internal review found that staff responded properly and appropriately in accordance with established policy and procedures,” said Mayhew. “We absolutely believe that our centres are safe, but given the mix of individuals that we have in our custody, you can never completely eliminate risk.” —with files from Maple Ridge News

A man who had sex with a minor in exchange for drugs and who confined a woman after having sex with her has been sentenced to 15 months in jail and two years of probation after pleading guilty to the charges. The sentence for 61year-old sausage maker Alfons Schoenherr came as part of a plea deal arranged between Crown counsel and defence. “The Crown had a very difficult case to make in many respects,” Crown counsel Norm Yates told Justice Austin Cullen as he introduced the joint submission on what was to be the first day of one of Schoenherr’s trials. Schoenherr had been charged with a series of offences, mostly of a sexual nature, but his remaining charges, aside from the two he pleaded guilty to, were stayed following sentencing. Schoenherr’s trouble with the law began in Jan-
uary 2009, after the boyfriend of a woman called police after the woman came home and alleged she had been sexually assaulted, the court heard. Crown counsel Norm Yates said the drug dependent woman, who was trying to turn her life around, was looking to borrow money from Schoenherr when she had him pick her up. They were supposed to go out for coffee, but instead they ended up back at his house, where Crown counsel alleged he wouldn’t lend the 29-yearold money unless she had sex with him. Schoenherr, through lawyer Oliver Butterfield, argued there was no sexual misconduct and that the sex was consensual. Justice Cullen was unable to conclude there was any sexual misconduct in the case and also noted Schoenherr didn’t admit any violence or threats of violence were involved in the incident. After the sexual encounter, Yates said Schoe-

nherr would not let the woman get dressed or leave the house for at least a couple of hours, leading to the unlawful confinement charge. Then, this past January, a woman was having a cigarette with the victim of the unlawful confinement and alleged that she had been “coerced” to have sex with Schoenherr. The Crown did not proceed with charges in that case and the defence argues that the woman and the victim of unlawful confinement were in “collusion” with each other. However, the conversation led to the RCMP being notified, and they executed a search warrant at Schoenherr’s Alta Vista Road home on January 25, 2010. When they arrived, Schoenherr was naked from the waist down and a 17-year-old girl was in the bedroom. “It had been apparent the two had been having sexual relations,” said Yates. The girl, who alter-
nated between foster care and living on the streets, told police that Schoenherr gave her drugs and a place to stay in exchange for sex. Schoenherr, who has no previous criminal record, pleaded guilty Monday to prostitution of a person under 18 in relation to that case, and has been in custody ever since his arrest back in January. He’s been given credit for a year in jail for the six months he’s served prior to sentencing, so Schoenherr has three months remaining on his 15 month sentence. As part of his probation, which will follow his jail sentence, he may not have contact with his victims or any female under 18, is barred from having weapons and must abide by an 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew. As well, 60 days after his release he is barred from being in Kelowna. In addition to jail and probation, Schoenherr must also provide a sample of his DNA.

Rocket alumni back in town A who’s who of Kelowna Rockets hockey will tee it up on Thursday afternoon for the start of the 2010 edition of Rockets Alumni Weekend. Duncan Keith, Shea Weber, Josh Gorges, Tyler Myers and Luke Schenn will be among the more than 40 former and current members of the Western Hockey League club who will converge at the Harvest Golf Club for the ninth annual alumni golf tournament. It will feature a shotgun start at 1 p.m. and a live auction of player memorabilia. For the players, such as Kelowna native Josh Gorges, the event is a chance to kick back, relax and catch up with old friends and former teammates. “It’s nice to have a little break and to bump into buddies you played with but don’t see as much of any more,” said Gorges, a defenceman with the Montreal Canadiens. “It’s a great time to have a laugh, share some stories and enjoy some time with the fans and sponsors, too. It’s always a fun time.” The club’s 10th annual Alumni Game will be played on Sunday at the Capital News Centre.

the 21-storey, high-end condo tower—the site remains little more than a pile of concrete and rebar and whether it progresses past that stage remains to be seen. “The nice thing about concrete is that it’s pretty patient—it waits for you,” said Geoff Filson, Platinum Equities’ vice-president of business development. That said, its neighbours may be running out of the virtue concrete can boast, Filson admits. Describing what remains as an “eyesore,” Filson said he can assure its neighbours that the company has been far from complacent in the time since construction stopped. Back then the project—which was aimed at buyers who could afford condos priced between $489,000 and $2.8 million—was being handled by Navigator Developments with Platinum Equities as the silent investor. When the economy went sour, drying up presales and bank financing with it, Platinum initiated a changing of the guard
and that was the first, timeconsuming maneuver. “Had we sailed on, our investors would have lost everything and we weren’t prepared to do that,” he said. “In our view, the general partner had not met terms under which the partnership was put together so we went to court to get a consent order to take over as the general partner and we have been reviewing all documents from the former general partner to determine where we stand.” What appeared clear from the get-go was that numerous debts had to be cleared away before they could move forward. Contractors for various stages of work were sent home October 2008 when the project had become untenable, but without pay, they put liens on the property and nothing could be done until those were squared away. “We’ve been more concerned to date with settling lien claims and clearing the title, than deciding what to do with the land,” he explained. “There was quite
a bit of money poured into construction, but the settlement process with trades(people) that worked on the site is almost complete.” Once it’s finished, Filson said the first order of business will be to conduct a market study. While Filson is aware that there has been improvement in the Kelowna market, he’s unsure whether the Calgary firm is ready to take another dip into the Okanagan. Or, if they do, what kind of project they’ll be behind. “The timing (of the original plan) was seriously awkward, and Kelowna hasn’t recovered to anything near the pace it had in 2007,” he said. As of right now, the condo market has been the slowest to rebound. Most recent figures from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation show that there are 400 new, unoccupied units in the city. Prices on numerous buildings have yet to rise to previous levels, and for many, price cuts are still the only way to unload a unit.

Grass Allergy Sufferers! Scimed Research is starting a Special study for 50 people ages 18 to 65 who suffer from grass allergies
The Central Okanagan is mirroring the national decline in police-reported crime, new data released from Statistics Canada indicates. Crime statistics released Tuesday show that the Kelowna census metropolitan area’s crime rate dropped four per cent in 2009 over 2008, bettering the national rate of three per cent. The crime rate, however, was one of the highest for census metropolitan areas, and, at 10,474 reported crimes per 100,000 people, was well above the national aver-
age of 6,406. However, Kelowna RCMP note the statistics are based on the population of the Central Okanagan, not the number of people that are in the area over the year. “It is what it is,” Const. Steve Holmes said of the report. “But it’s not based on what’s relevant in terms of our population.” Statistics Canada lists a population of just over 162,000 in 2006 for the Kelowna CMA. But Const. Holmes said estimates indicate that some 1.2 million people come through Kelowna annually. The Statistics Canada report also shows that the
number of homicides in the Kelowna area mirrors the national average, with 1.7 per 100,000 people in the region, and there’s a similar drop in motor vehicle thefts, when comparing to the national average. Car thefts dropped 15 per cent in the country and 18 per cent in the Kelowna census metropolitan area. Break and enters were up three per cent in the region, higher than the national average, which saw a four per cent drop. But Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon noted earlier this year, as he reviewed the City of Kelowna’s crime statistics for
2009, that if one person is arrested for a large number of crimes, that “throws all your statistics askew.” The City of Kelowna itself saw a 13 per cent increase in break and enters last year. Robberies in the region stayed steady, but dropped two per cent in the City of Kelowna, the same as the national average. The Kelowna census area essentially includes the City of Kelowna, Districts of West Kelowna, Lake Country, and Peachland, First Nations land and unincorporated areas within the Central Okanagan regional district. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

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

nue. “It’s pretty traumatic to come to work and have glass everywhere.” In the latest break-in, which occurred July 8, thieves took a few watches. Previous break-ins have seen the shop’s coffee, cream and sugar taken, as well as women’s under garments. In one case, some foreign coins were taken. In each break and enter, thieves accessed the shop by breaking either the glass doors or windows. “We feel we’re doing a good charity,” she said, noting they’ve never turned anyone in need away from the shop. “Why do they insist on breaking our doors, our windows?” Not only is it frustrating, but the cost to repair the damage is expensive for the thrift shop, which is operated by volunteers. They’ve decided to wait awhile to repair the door again after the last break-in nearly two weeks ago. “We’re just holding off a couple of weeks,” said Wambeke, hoping the thieves won’t desire to damage the door again with it boarded up. “It’s just a stupid, stupid game they’re playing.” Wambeke says police so far have been unable to find the thieves. In the last case, video surveillance showed dark figures, but they weren’t identifiable because their heads were covered by their hoodies, she noted.

take for us that I would wish on no one.” When the Seclusion Bay fire broke out last Monday, Cruikshank noticed the smoke coming from the Kelowna side of Okanagan Lake. Cruikshank, who works in road construction, called LocksteadHicks and told her to grab their eight-year-old daughter Makayla and evacuate the house. “It all happened so fast,” Lockstead-Hicks recalled. “After Greg called, I gave my daughter a beachbag and said she had five minutes to pack anything important to her. I went downstairs in our home to get the cat and our passports, and she grabbed some pictures, a pair of prescription eyeglasses and Greg’s diabetic treatment medical supplies.” “We ran out of the house and made our way down to the water where a boat was taking people to safety. “ Lockstead-Hicks, whose father was former New Democrat MLA and Powell River mayor Don Lockstead, said the fire showed no mercy on their home and an attached building that served as Cruikshank’s workshop. “The only thing left is the chimney,” she said. “The heat was so intense it melted everything, the hinges off of doors, the window glass was turned into puddles.” In the workshop and also lost were an old Harley Davidson motorcycle and dune buggy that Cruiskshank tinkered with to fix up, along with his welding and other shop tools. The couple have lived on the Seclusion Bay property, encompassing 5.4 acres of land with a 314-foot access to the waterfront, for the past 14 years in what Lockstead-Hicks described as a modest house. “It was nothing fancy, just a small two-bedroom family home,” she said. “I can’t imagine leaving here
now even after all of this. This is still home to our family even though the house is gone.” The property had been for sale earlier this year with a listing price of $6.4 million. The couple did receive a call from Premier Gordon Campbell shortly after it was learned their house was destroyed by the fire, but since then they’ve heard nothing about support from the provincial emergency program. “We went to see our MLA Ben Stewart but his staff told us we are actually in Bill Barisoff’s riding (Pentiction-Okanagan Valley), so we are trying to make contact with them,” she said. An account to accept donations has been set up at the RBC branch in West Kelowna, and donations can be made to the following account—0500 1010776. Donation registries have also been set up at the local Home Depot and Home Outfitters stores. The District of West Kelowna has also done what it can do to help out the couple, said Lorne Raymond, manager of finance for West Kelowna. “We try to help out where we can,” Raymond said. “But we are not in a position to provide financial relief. That is a function of the provincial emergency program and people in the community who want to come together to offer financial help.” Raymond cited the example of the West Kelowna fire, where a number of individuals and agencies came together to establish a local relief fund to help people affected by the Glenrosa fire. That fund was taken off the books earlier this year, when the remaining $21,000 was donated to the West Kelowna food bank. “We administered that fund on behalf of the community but it wasn’t up to us how it was spent,” Raymond said. He said the district is currently doing what it can to sign off on al-
lowing Cruikshank and LocksteadHicks to remain living on the property in two small separate outbuildings that weren’t damaged by the fire. West Kelowna officials were at the site Tuesday morning to access if the living conditions passed acceptable district dwelling bylaw standards as a place of residence. “There are safety issues involved that need to be assessed along with things like water and sewer that we need to look at,” Raymond said. Jason Brolund, a Kelowna Fire Department assistant fire chief and regional liaison for the emergency program, said the family received 72 hours of lodging along with food and other necessities in vouchers after being evacuated, and that was extended a further three days after the evacuation alert was lifted. Counselling is also available, Brolund said, to assist with the emotional trauma that is associated with a fire destroying your home. “Because of what happened here in 2003 (with the Okanagan Mountain Fire), we have a good counselling support system in place now for that kind of thing,” Brolund said. However, the Seclusion Bay property has not been ruled eligible for disaster financial assistance, Brolund noted, because the losses could have been reimbursed by insurance. For Lockstead-Hicks, the Seclusion Bay fire is the third that she and her daughter have had to evacuate from, the other two being last year’s Glenrosa blaze and an earlier fire in Powell River. “We are not asking for charity and are very grateful for what we do have. It could have been worse,” she said. “I’ve been off work for the past two and a half years to raise my daughter. But now I will probably have to start looking for work again.” bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

The duo involved in an incident that saw a man knocked unconscious with a hammer during an apparent attempt to break up a Belgo Road party, have now been charged. Police say they were called to a fourplex in the 2100-block of Belgo Road around 2:40 a.m. on Sunday and discovered a 47-year-old man unconscious and his 21-year-old son bleeding from injuries caused by a hammer. A witness told police that he and the victims were having a few drinks at the victims’ home and listening to music when a 27-year-old man from an adjacent unit in the fourplex came into their unit and yelled at them to turn down the music, said Const. Steve Holmes. “A confrontation occurred and, during the fight between the three, a 31-year-old female came to the residence wielding a hammer,” Holmes said. It’s alleged she struck the father and son a number of times, knocking the father unconscious, before leaving the area in a vehicle. The witness was also hit when he tried to intervene, police say. The father and son were taken to hospital for treatment, where police also made an arrest in the case as the 27-yearold was also seeking treatment for injuries he allegedly sustained in the fight. Jacob William Flora is charged with aggravated assault and unlawfully being in a dwelling house, while Valerie Rachelle McKay is charged with aggravated assault and two counts of assault causing bodily harm. Both their cases are scheduled to be in the judicial case manager’s office today (Wednesday) to deal with the issue of bail. cweirda@kelownacapnews.com

New composting concept a sealed process that takes up little space

Your best source of community news— the Capital News—now with video. www.kelownacapnews.com
had an interesting guest on my radio show last Saturday and he enlightened me on breaking down organic matter using anaerobic processes. What this means is composting without oxygen, which is the opposite of what we normally do in our compost bins in the garden. This is a sealed process consisting of a pair of five-gallon buckets that take very little space. Once the first bucket is filled it is sealed tight so no oxygen can enter and the process to “pickle” anything from vegetable matter to meat and bones takes as little as a week’s time. Meanwhile, you start filling the second bucket and mix the processed contents of the first with your garden soil and watch it disappear in short order. A tea can be drained off the spigot at the bottom of the bucket for use as a fertilizer for garden
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett and container plants. The system is called Bokashicycle and along with the kitchen waste process they have a separate system for pet waste. If you have a garden and a pet—either a dog or cat or both—then this is an ideal way to go. The Bokashicycle pet waste recycling system takes the pooh and turns it into a wonderful nutrient blend for the flower and shrub beds. For more info on the two systems go to www. Bokashicycle.com or drop in to Bylands Garden Centre or Buckerfields, as they both carry the Bokashicycle products. rrr My wife Donna and I
had a wonderful time last Sunday as guests at the Bonsai Club summer get together. It was held at Stan and Florence Taneda’s beautiful garden. We thank them so much for the wonderful time and it was so nice to see and visit with my good friend Joe, a mentor to many bonsai enthusiasts. rrr When it comes to successful gardening it is imperative to have good soil. Good soil does not necessarily mean it has to be dark in colour although this is usually a good indicator there is plenty of organic matter. Our Okanagan soil is often light in colour and still produces great crops year after year. The key to good soil is its texture. There is a simple test you can do to determine if you have loam, clay loam or clay. Further you can determine from this “feel” test
the sand content of each category. For example if it is determined you have a clay loam, is it sandy or silty clay loam. Once you have discovered what type of soil you have you can amend it to improve its texture if it is needed. Sometimes soil looks just awful but by using this simple test you can find out just what it needs to grow great plants. Texture is not the only thing to be concerned about; pH is very important as is organic content, however, I believe texture is the first thing to address. If you wish to have a copy of an information sheet called Soil Texture by Feel, email me at don@thegardenexpert. com.

Homegrown Grado bolsters Okanagan Sun Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With the exception of occasionally practicing in -25 to -30 temperatures, Matt Grado thoroughly enjoyed his two seasons playing with the University of Regina Rams. But for the 20-year-old OKM grad it was time to take a break from school. Grado is back home in Kelowna and nobody is happier—other than his family—than the B.C. Football Conference’s Okanagan Sun. The 6-foot-2 270-pound Grado will help to bolster an already formidable Sun defensive line. “At this point in my life, school isn’t what I wanted,” said Grado, who will play defensive tackle for the Sun. “I loved the coaches with the Rams and my teammates and playing university ball. But I just thought I’m going to put school aside for now and come home and play. Once I made the decision not to play for the Rams, the Sun was the obvious next step. So I
phoned coach (Jason) Casey and said I wanted to be here. I’m happy about my decision.” While watching the Sun growing up, Grado developed into one of the Okanagan’s top high school players. As an OKM Huskie, Grado was named the top defensive lineman and an all-star in the Interior AA Conference in 2007. He was also tabbed as a provincial allstar along the offensive line. Tack on two years of experience at the Canada West University level and Grado brings plenty of experience and credentials to the Sun. “As a person, he’s a very mature guy, he’s been gone for a couple of years and now he’s back with a lot of experience,” said Sun head coach Peter McCall. “He’s a no-nonsense guy who works hard, and he’s a team guy. Matt was willing to play O-line when we had injury troubles there, so that says a lot about him too. When it comes down to the crunch you know you can depend on him. He’s a
true 12-month-of-the-year football kind of guy,” McCall said. The addition of Grado gives the Sun plenty of depth along the D-line. With the likes of Steven Doege, Alex Law, Ryan Keating, Cam Reid and Chris Burleigh, among others, it just might the most solid area of the ball club. “Injuries are always a factor at those positions, so it’s great to have the numbers and depth that we do,” said Grado. “With the quality of guys we have we should cause lots of problems for other teams.” In terms of the Okanagan Sun team as a whole, Grado also likes what he sees. “I think there’s going to be some great team chemistry here,” he said. “There’s good camaraderie and the guys have been very welcoming. I knew likely half the guys from high school, playing with and against them and they’re all good guys and good football players. I think this team is going to go far this year.”

Kelowna Jays soar to provincial junior title Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Nine years after their last championship, the Kelowna Jays once again rule the roost in B.C. junior baseball. The Jays sewed up the provincial title Sunday afternoon in Kamloops with a 4-1 win over the host Sun Devils in the final. Kelowna ace Kyle Hart (Burbank, CA.) al-
“We had phenomenal pitching all weekend, we were very good defensively and we swung the bats well when we had to,” said head coach Geoff White, who was a player with the Jays when they wore the B.C. crown in 2001. “I won’t say we walked through the tournament, but we felt like
we were in control pretty much the whole way. It was a good weekend.” Prior to the season, White had a pretty good hunch the Jays would have a legitimate shot at bringing home the provincial banner. Team management spent the off-season putting together a solid roster to compete in the Pacific International League and it paid off with a B.C. title over the weekend.
The win presents the Jays with the option of competing at the Canadian junior baseball championship next summer in Windsor, Ont. White said the club will decide over time whether the trip is financially viable. Baseball B.C. has lost much of its gaming revenue from the provincial government over the last year and is unable to provide support for traveling
teams. “It’s a pretty substantial trip, probably $1,000 to $1,200 a guy so we’ll see how we do over the next few months in raising some funds,” said White. “Now the teams are on the hook for the whole bill, that makes it tougher. We basically have until the end of January to decide whether we’ll go or not,” White said. Meanwhile, in the more immediate future,
the Jays will host the Okanagan Major Baseball League’s provincial qualifying tournament this weekend. Kelowna will host Vernon Friday at 7 p.m. at Elks, then will play two games Saturday—11 a.m. vs Penticton and 7 p.m. against Kamloops. The final will be played Sunday with the winner representing the valley at the B.C. senior championship July 30 to Aug. 2 in Trail.

Falcons next home Tuesday The Kelowna Falcons will close out a threegame West Coast League series Wednesday night in Bremerton against the Kitsap Bluejackets. The teams met Tuesday for Game 2. A final score wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available at press time. Kitsap won Mon-
dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series opener 5-3 as Brandon Creel (3-4) was tagged with the loss. Paul Politi drove in two of Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three runs. The Falcons, who were 16-21 heading into Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action, are chasing the second-place Moses Lake Pirates for the final playoff spot in the Eastern
Division. The Wenatchee Apple Sox lead the division. The Falcons will move on to Cowlitz Thursday to open a three-game series against the Black Bears. Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next home action is Tuesday, July 27 against the Corvallis Knights.
Raiders battle Kamloops in semiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Kelowna Raiders will visit the Kamloops Rattlers Wednesday night for Game 2 of their Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League semifinal series. The Raiders opened the best-of-three with a solid 9-6 win on Monday night at home. Kelowna grabbed the early lead and never looked back, employing a stifling defense and the steady goaltending of Cam Needham. Jarrett Neigum paced the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attack with four goals and two assists.
Jared MacLennan, Ryan Spring, Deryk McPhail, Braden Renner and Kyle MacLennan added single goals. Raiders coach Steve Begley said the Raiders had something to prove after a posting a lackluster 7-5 regular season record. In 2009, the Raiders went an eye-popping 16-0, regular season and playoffs combined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, we were pretty disappointed in our record and our play this season and before the series we sat down
and talked about it,â&#x20AC;? said Begley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some players we thought were underachieving and we needed to see more from them. Then we came out and played one of our best periods of the year. We were able to weather a bit of a storm in the second and came away with a good win.â&#x20AC;? Game 3 of the series, if needed, will go Friday at 8 p.m. at Memorial Arena. The other semifinal series features the Armstrong Shamrocks and the Vernon Tigers.

OKANAGAN Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S second baseman Danny Stearns turns the first half of a double play against the Victoria Eagles.
Premier Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finish on winning note The Okanagan Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s took two of three games from the Victoria Eagles at Elks Stadium to close out the 2010 B.C. Premier Baseball League season with a 15-29 record. It was the most wins ever by a Kelowna-based PBL teamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the previous high was 11 last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but it left the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one game out of the playoff picture in 10th spot. The eighth and ninth place teams, Parksville and North Shore, are playing off this week for the final berth into the championship tournament. In their first season
under the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and colours, Okanagan held its own against the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite competition. If only for a break here and there, head coach Evan Bailey said the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s could have easily finished three or four spots higher in the standings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys played hard all year, we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of breaks,â&#x20AC;? said Bailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost so many one-run games, but the guys never gave up.

Dimitrov, Pipher tops in Across the Lake
FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR
WEST KELOWNA’S Hayley Pipher hits the beach ffirst among women competitors in a new record time Saturday in the 2010 Across the Lake Swim.
Stroda bests own field records Aaron Stroda improved on his own records in both discus and shot put at the B.C. Track and Field Championships. Stroda, 14, stretched fthe new provincial stantdard for midget (14-15) discus to 55.66 metres last weekend in Abbotsford. He started the competition with a record of 52.73m and set a new B.C. mark on each of his six attempts. “The conditions were perfect and it was great to have the discus event in the infield of the stadium,” said Stroda. “I hit the sweetspot in my last throw and I saw
the discus flying and flying and I felt that it was over the 55m.” No other athletes have thrown beyond the 50 m mark in B.C. this year. Stroda has improved the B.C. discus record this year by more than eight metres from the previous mark. On Saturday he won the shot put with a 15.60m toss, improving his own B.C. record (14.66 set at Jack Brow) by almost one metre. Aaron will compete this weekend at the B.C.

David Dimitrov left the competition in his wake, while Hayley Pipher snapped a 21-yearold record to highlight the 2010 edition of the Across the Lake Swim. Dimitrov, 18, covered the 2.1 km course Saturday from the Old Ferry Docks on the Westside to Hot Sands Beach in City Park to win the race in 21 minutes 41.08 seconds. For the second year in a row, Christian Desjarlais, 17, placed second— he was more than a minute back of Dimitov in 22:48.15. Anders McIntyre took third overall in 23:10.95. Dimitrov, a competitve swimmer who attends the University of Calgary, is the son of Liquid Lightning Swim Club head coach Emil Dimitrov. Meanwhile, West Kelowna’s Hayley Pipher— another LLSC member— established a new record time for female competitors in placing fifth overall and first among all women. Pipher’s swim of 23:22.32 eclipsed the former standard of 23:27 set by Golden’s K.C. Emerson back in 1989. “It was kind of a goal of mine, I was looking at the record going into the race and thought I might be able to take a run at it,” said Pipher, who will join the UBC Thunderbirds swim team this fall. “I had no idea when I finished whether I was close or not. It was about an hour after that I found out, so it was nice to get it.” After decent conditions greeted the swimmers to start the race, Pipher said the waters became somewhat choppy about half-way across, but the 17-year-old Mt.

OKANAGAN LAKE SUBMARINE CABLE REPLACEMENT AND OKANAGAN CENTRE SAFE HARBOUR BOAT LAUNCH CLOSURE BC Hydro is improving reliability to customers in the Central Okanagan Regional District by replacing the aging submarine cables crossing Okanagan Lake from Lake Country to Westside Road. Civil shoreline construction work will commence the week of June 28, 2010 and is expected to be completed by July 19, 2010. Minor traffic delays may be experienced at the cable termination points at Okanagan Centre Road West and 4th Street in Lake Country and along Westside Road. Onshore and offshore work using barges and specialized cable laying equipment will be taking place between July 19 and August 6, 2010. To complete this work safely, it will be necessary to temporarily close the secondary outer gravel boat launch at Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour for extended periods between July 19 and August 6, 2010. The inner main Safe Harbour concrete boat launch will remain open.
BC Hydro recognizes that these construction activities may be an inconvenience and we will complete the work as quickly as possible.

W OUR VIEW
Preventing preventable tragedies The sun is finally shining, and B.C. residents are basking in the summer heat that, until recently, seemed to be avoiding us in favour of our Eastern counterparts. Barbecues, boating and baking on the beach are Okanagan Valley traditions that we all look forward to those other nine months of the year. One downside of the arrival of summer— and it’s a big one—is the steady stream of senseless deaths that the season
somehow always manages to bring in its wake. Mondays can be pretty depressing—Tuesdays even worse, after a summer long weekend—as the inevitable death toll on B.C.’s highways is tallied. Speed, drugs or alcohol and driver distraction are the usual suspects as police pick through the wreckage, trying to piece together what went wrong. However they happen, this summer’s tragedies only under-
score the fact too many people die every summer because they take silly, unnecessary risks —or fail to take simple precautions. True, nobody likes Big Brother telling them what to do: “Slow down, pay attention, put on a life jacket, wear a helmet,” and (does it really need to be said) “don’t drink and drive.” But is being “the boss of you” a good enough reason to risk ending your own life or someone else’s?
MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212
What about staying out of prison—will that be what decides it? And, if life and liberty aren’t enough, is it worth leaving the lives of the people you love in tatters? Perhaps it does bear repeating: “Slow down, pay attention, put on a life jacket, wear a helmet.” And because, as another recent headline regarding, of all people, a Mountie seems to indicate, it never does quite sink in, “don’t drink and drive.”

Lord Black rewrites himself as folk hero to downtrodden
I
f you’re going to play fast and loose with company finances, just make sure you’re big enough for the United States Supreme Court judges to secure clout for reviewing your case. This is what we learn from the ridiculous judicial review which finds Lord Conrad Black, former press baron and bombastic news caricature, back in court this morning to find out the terms of his release from an American prison.
WORDSMITH
Jennifer Smith On Monday, the same judge who sent him to jail granted him bail for the period in which his case is reviewed, along with a former Enron exec. and an Alaskan politician. For most of us, the
ins and outs of the case against Black were always fuzzy at best. Initially accused of a whole slough of charges, including racketeering, his misuse of his company’s funds bought him six years in jail for three counts of mail fraud and one count of obstruction of justice. It was a very confusing case which, for the average Canadian, boiled down to the guy who badmouthed everybody in his papers being convicted for some form
of frivolous overspending. Few, truly understood the legal case against him, but we all collectively delighted in seeing the man who actually built himself up as the ultimate fat cat, pay his penance for at least figuratively spitting on the common person and the rules society plays by. Well, the merry-goround is spinning once more, but this time the spin the Canadian press are selling as Black heads back to court is truly baf-
fling. While the lawyers, and the largely international media who actually bother to understand the ins and outs of the legal review, debate the merits of the narrow law which allowed for his conviction, Canadian newspapers and airwaves are chalk-a-block with foolhardy columnists willing to defend this one-time villain because he’s written some columns indicating he’s reformed and understands the plight of
the prisoner and the common man. Ah Lord Black, folk hero for the people, decedent of the “let them eat cake” clan repents. I’m sorry, but has the Canadian press lost their collective minds? If Canadian columnists don’t understand the confusing legal nuances that have allowed this review to occur, it might be better to just say so rather than blow reams of newsprint exonerating their one-time boss or col-
league in the court of public opinion. The mere fact he has the privilege to be able to win us over with his words in our newspapers proves this is no man of the people. Review the case, sure, but leave it at that. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

What’s the diff if a forest fire burns your house down? To the editor: I hear through the grapevine that a fire victim from the Seclusion Bay fire near Peachland has talked to Mr. Campbell, our B.C. premier, and the word is that he might be compensated for his losses from the fire, from the government. Excuse me, but we had a house fire a few
years back and we did not receive any compensation from the government, not even a phone call. I also have to think about the fire victims that went through the same horrible experience in Rutland a couple of weeks ago—did they receive a phone call, are they being compensated? If the premier decides to do it for one, then he
should do it for all of us that have had this happen to us and it better be retroactive. What kind of thinking is this? I am very sorry for Mr. Cruickshank’s loss, but he must now learn how to deal with those losses like the rest of us and restart again. It is very hard and heartbreaking to do, but it can be done.
I am very concerned and worried why Mr. Campbell is thinking of doing this for this one person. What is going on here? Many people are wondering also, especially those of us who have gone through a house fire or know of those who have. This is not fair. Please, myself and others are waiting for a
public or a written reply on this from the premier. If we didn’t even get a phone call when our house burned to the ground, then at least we deserve a written email or public response of reasoning from him. Sign me: Fired up and steaming Louise Szczepanik, Enderby

Allowing RV camping an abuse of farm land 99 The provincial Agricultural Land Commission shares an equal role in this decision as they were the ones who paved the way for such use. To sweeten this terribly bad policy it has been sugar-coated with the label “agri-tourist accommodation.” I am never sure whether to laugh or cry each time I hear those words. The unremitting abuse of farm lands in Kelowna and the degree to which non-farm use has crept onto these lands, both legally and illegally, is shocking when viewed over time. It often occurs under the radar and most residents of Kelowna would be surprised to learn just how severe the problem is. Existing regulations concerning farm properties, many of which are hopelessly outdated, are rarely enforced anymore or are routinely stretched far beyond their original intent. Constructing RV parks on farm land will only hasten the decline that is already underway. Good regulations derive from good plans and what is sorely missing both at the local and provincial level is a proper plan and in-
deed a long term vision for smaller farm holdings within the city. In this case it does not take a crystal ball to see the future. For example the new RV bylaw amendments allow a property owner to locate up to 10 recreational vehicles and their occupants a mere 10 meters from a property line. Such indefensible encroachment will create nothing but problems and it risks driving away the very people who respect farm land the most. Unregulated non-farm use of lands will continue to increase and, based on past history, it is all but certain that RV parks will usher in further “regulated” non-farm use. If you care about our beautiful city and if you are someone who appreciates the precious farm land that we have, then it is high time to speak up or one of our greatest assets will die a death by a thousand cuts. Those who respect and love the land cannot weather the continued onslaught without your help. Nicholas Swart, Kelowna
What will be the real cost of HST for the city? To the editor: I was concerned to read Kelowna city councillor Robert Hobson repeating misconceptions when talking about increasing the cost of parking in Kelowna due to HST. His view, and I am paraphrasing here, is that although the city will have to charge HST on certain services adding seven per cent to the cost, they will be saving seven per cent on their expenses and therefore no increase should be necessary. The belief that businesses and municipalities will be saving seven per cent on their expenses after the abolition of PST is entirely wrong. The largest expense of the city is almost certainly wages, and there is no saving there—no sav-
ing on interest, no saving on sub-contract services, etc. In fact, one respected accountancy firm puts the effective rate of tax at about 1.75 per cent, in other words the potential savings are not as great as many believe, and therefore these small savings are unlikely to be passed on to the consumer. If you go to the government’s own website it extols the virtues of HST, rather unsurprisingly, saying that overall local governments will pay no more in sales taxes after harmonization than they do at present. This is clearly what Coun. Hobson believes, but on closer examination this is impossible, because municipalities in B.C. will only get rebated for 75 per cent of the old PST portion re-
sulting in a cost to them which must be passed on to the taxpayer. A recent column in the Sudbury Star estimates that the introduction of HST in Ontario will cost the city $450,000. This was not an article written by a local hack, but by a lady who is counsel in international trade law, business law and tax law. In other words she knows what she is talking about. Given the smaller size of Kelowna we might expect the introduction of HST to cost the city about $350,000. This is not pocket change. Councillors, by and large, are not accountants, so we maybe shouldn’t expect them to be experts in every field. Nevertheless, the city employs accountants and financial planners. Why have they
Permanent addition at SLE To the editor: I’m just back from a week’s holiday to read the brief reference to our school in your Sunday July 18 Capital News Westside section. Thank you for highlighting exciting changes at Shannon Lake Elementary and let me clarify a few details. The photo with the story depicts a portable classroom being relocated on our property. This is because the B.C.
Ministry of Education has approved an eight-classroom addition to Shannon Lake Elementary and it is our hope to break ground this fall. These will not be portable classrooms, but a permanent addition, which this community has waited for since the school was opened in 1993. This is great news! Alida Privett, principal Shannon Lake Elementary
not properly briefed the elected officials so that they are fully aware of what is going to happen? HST is being introduced for one reason alone and that is to raise money. The Liberal government has pushed the legislation through with undue haste, and without full consultation which is why they are now facing such a large popular backlash. They have tried to soften the blow by introducing many transitional rules to ease the pain, particularly for the construction industry. Transitional rules are exactly what they say they are, and will be removed in time to gener-

To the editor: Most visitors to Kelowna will tell you that one of the most beautiful and unique features of the city is that it is surrounded by tranquil farm properties that produce apples, berries, hay, grapes and other agricultural products. These properties are a much needed counterbalance to the density increases occurring elsewhere in the city and in many cases they also serve as small but important sanctuaries for local wildlife. Those of us who live in Kelowna tend to take the existence of these properties for granted, but if we are not careful they will soon lose their character entirely and their eventual demise will then be all but inevitable. Recently Kelowna council made a wellmeaning but highly regrettable decision to permit owners of farm property to build recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds on their lands. The single reason given for this expansion of permissible land use is to provide farm owners with an additional source of income.

It would have been better if the government had been honest about the whole thing at the outset, instead of trying to kid us all that it wouldn’t cost us money, or if it did they would give it back to us. We now have the ugly prospect of having a competent government shoot itself in the foot, and we will be faced at the next election with the choice between a largely unelectable NDP and a Liberal party that treats its citizens with contempt.

How homeopathic remedies limit over-exposure to sun I
t seems that because we started the summer season off a little on the cool and wet end of things, we probably have become a little lax when it comes to protecting ourselves from over-exposure to the sun. At least that’s what I have seen on the beach, with those bright red bodies walking and laying around. Sun over-exposure is exposure to enough UV radiation to cause the skin to burn. Sunburns greatly increase the risk of freckled skin, wrinkles, leathery skin later in life and skin cancer. The use of tanning
In fact, there are a few things you may have never even considered about that sunscreen your skin absorbs. There is a pair of doctors from the University of California who are the foremost opponents of the use of chemical sunscreens, Drs. Cedric and Frank Garland. They point out that, although sunscreens do protect against sunburn, there is no scientific proof that they protect against melanoma or basal cell carcinoma in humans. The Garland brothers strongly believe that the increased use of chemical sunscreens is the primary cause of the skin cancer
FINDING REMEDIES
John Sherman beds and lying out in the sun result in long-term damage to the skin if done over several years. It has probably happened to most of us at one time or another—we fall asleep in the sun or we forget to slather on the sunscreen; then we burn. First, a few things need to be said about our obsessive “sunscreenism.”
epidemic. They emphasize that people using sunscreen tend to stay longer in the sun because they do not get sunburn—they develop a false sense of security. Chemical sunscreens are formulated to absorb UVB radiation; they let most of the UVA rays through. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are strongly absorbed by the melanocytes, which are involved both in melanin production (sun tanning) and in melanoma formation. UVA rays also have a depressing effect on the immune system.

Anyone who has had unusual reactions to any sunscreen in the past should be cautious before using one. You should be particularly careful if you have any allergies to foods, dyes, preservatives, or other substances, especially the following: Artificial sweeteners; anesthetics such as benzocaine, procaine, tetracaine, hair dyes; sulfa medicines; water pills; and cinnamon flavouring. Derivatives of these substances are common ingredients in most sunscreen formulas. You also need to be especially careful when using diabetes medicine by mouth because tropical preparations can increase the side effects of these medications. However, there are some excellent homeopathic treatments for these acute situations. After being over-exposed to the sun a few
years back, I experienced first-hand how well these remedies work and now would not be without them. Glonoine: An excellent remedy after over-exposure to sun that borders on sunstroke. Belladonna: The person needing this remedy will most likely have a very red, hot face and a very bad, throbbing headache accompanied by sensitivity to light. Cuprum metallicumSevere: Muscle cramping or twitching after over-exposure to the sun. Urtica urens: Is a good remedy for just ordinary sunburn. All of the above remedies you can take a 30CH potency every 15 minutes for five or six doses. If relief is not experienced, find the next best remedy or consult your homeopath. Although sunscreen is not a substitute for commonsense, just as seat
belts and airbags are not substitutes for good driving practices, they do have their place and may save you a lot of grief later on. Remember that true sunstroke may require immediate medical attention. If the body temperature rises too rapidly, this can lead to collapse. Belladonna or Glonoine can be administered if this happens while waiting for help to arrive. Remember to drinks lots of pure water, not caffeinated beverages or sugar-laden sodas. Stay cool.

W MENTAL HEALTH
Public forum seeks to improve local addiction services Jamie Moran CONTRIBUTOR
The Kelowna and district branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, in partnership with Interior Health, will host a free forum on Wednesday, July 28. The forum is the second in a series that began last year, designed to give people with a mental illness or addiction and their family members the opportunity to discuss mental health and addiction services in Kelowna. The consumer family forums held in June 2009 highlighted five areas where mental health and addictions services need to be improved: education, communication, discharge planning, access to services and housing. On Oct. 2 2009, 65 individuals representing over 30 distinct Central Okanagan service providers participated in a daylong process of appreciative inquiry. The event focus was reflecting on a series of questions, which were informed by the five primary themes that were developed at the earlier forum. These five themes
were explored, as well as various “paradise” scenarios, where if resources were unlimited, people with mental illness and addictions would receive exactly what they need. Topics touched on included a full continuum of seamless services that could be accessed without wait lists, a street level emergency room, understanding and empathy felt for all vulnerable members of our community, and a stigma-free approach to thinking about those vulnerable members as “us” and “we” instead of “them.” While these scenarios may be difficult to achieve in the immediate future, they serve as potential targets for the community to work toward, and discussion points to gauge current services. After much discussion at the October forum, a report was compiled, listing the key initiatives that were going to be pursued. The forum on July 28
is in part a follow-up to the report, but is also designed to provide an outlet for anyone who has experienced mental health problems and/or substance use disorders, or is a family member seeking an opportunity to give feedback. It will be held at 504 Sutherland Ave., Wednesday, July 28, at 5:30 p.m. As a lead-up to the forum, CMHA Kelowna will be telling the stories of two Kelowna residents that are living with mental illness. The stories will not only bring to light their struggles with mental illness, but their hopes, dreams and inspirations. Read the first of the two-part series in Friday’s edition of the Capital News and online at www. kelownacapnews.com The Canadian Mental Health Association is a charitable association, which promotes the mental health of all and supports the resilience and re-

Outdoor store is ripped off for the second time this year For the second time this year, a Kelowna outdoor store was broken into. Around 4 a.m. on Monday, a witness told police some youth were seen running out of Grouse River Outfitters on HIghway 97 and getting into an SUV. “Police investigation
found that the front door glass had been smashed and that the thieves had made off with clothing, and a number of hunting optics (rifle scopes and binoculars),” said Const. Steve Holmes. Police are reviewing the surveillance camera footage in the hopes of identifying the suspects.
The last break-in attempt happened back in February. Would-be thieves smashed a window but were scared off by the alarm, police said at the time. And, in February 2009, thieves made off with approximately 20 guns after a break-in at the store.

successful entrepreneurial ventures for all of us to enjoy with them from their new products and services. When cultivating my thoughts for this weeks column, I came across an interesting piece of trivia to share with you.
Joseph Schumpeter, a noted economist and considered a father of the entrepreneurship theory, coined the German term “Unternehmergeist,” which means the entrepreneurial spirit. Not surprisingly, the term itself didn’t stick, but

the idea did, big time. The term entrepreneurship doesn’t apply strictly to our careers and the way we go about making money; it applies, I espouse, to every part of our life. Strictly speaking, entrepreneurship still refers

to starting and operating one’s own entrepreneurial venture, a professional endeavour that requires independence, creativity, innovation, individuality and risk. But honestly, you can apply to your personal life the same skills that make you a successful entrepreneur. In the traditional business sense, an entrepreneur is a person who doesn’t wish to be locked into a job. He or she is someone who has many skills. An entrepreneur generally is not a 9-to5 person who collects a paycheque every week or two. Successful entrepreneurs have their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Being an entrepreneur is similar to sitting in a kayak with the waves breaking over your head. The force of the water is much greater than the force of you trying to paddle. But, if you make the right moves by focusing your concentration and being diligent and careful, you can get to where you want to go. As a serial entrepreneur myself, I’ve learned that you must paddle as fast as the current itself. If you don’t, the current will push you sideways and take you off course. Ouch! Then, you become vulnerable to the waves that will flip you over. Successful entrepreneurs feel that a life without risk is a life without living. Who wants to live a life without risks? You will never achieve any success or happiness in life without taking risks—no matter what the subject of your focus may be. Another key to the successful entrepreneurial spirit powering is doing something with your
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young life that you love. The people who are successful in business and industry and in their personal lives are truly doing something they love to do. You surely need to be flexible when harnessing your entrepreneurial spirit. Because sometimes you have to follow your heart and know when to change course and investigate something new. I often subscribe to this credo of what you may perceive to be an entrepreneurial opportunity may not be an entrepreneurial opportunity for you, but may, in truth be—for others. Changing careers is difficult. You wonder if you’re throwing something away for which you studied long and hard. It’s not smart to change merely if you don’t have a good reason. Consider the change only if you can clearly see that it will improve your life, the lives of those you love and, very importantly, make you happy. Harnessing the entrepreneurial spirit also means wanting to run your entrepreneurial venture the way you may run your life. To run a successful venture, you will want to increase the number of clients. To run a successful life, you will want to increase the number of successful friendships you may have. The parallels are endless between an entrepreneurial venture and one’s personal life journey. Unleashing the power of the entrepreneurial
spirit means recognizing that you cannot separate the two parallels. Being an entrepreneur is a way of life. All you need to do is get yourself into the entrepreneurial mind-set, and you’ll find the “power” to make things happen. Look around you, my friends. Would the success of identifiable corporations or social organizations have come to be without the evolution of an entrepreneurial credo to guide them? I think not. But, more importantly, would they have ever come into existence without the spirit of entrepreneurship? So, dear readers, go for the gold. Ignite and preserve the power of the entrepreneurial spirit, but try to put in place what your company, your organization and your dream will need to grow. In closing, let me invite you to explore seven characteristics that will aid you to foster your entrepreneurial spirit: • Fervent faith that you can change things for the better. • An unshakable belief that you can devise better, quicker, cheaper ways of presenting products or services needed in the marketplace. • Always having a solution in sight for any complexities and ability to overcome challenges effortlessly. • Optimistic about the prospects of your venture and each venture you become associated with in your entrepreneurial life • A high energy level, unwavering mental stamina and internal motivation. • A willingness to live for and invest in the future. • A willingness to experiment and a joyous penchant for innovative and creative thinking. eagleyoung@shaw.ca www.OVeSociety.org

Offset clubs are designed with the leading edge of the club set a little further behind the hosel than a standard set of irons. “What this does is allows more time for the clubface to square as the club is approaching impact. For people that constantly fight a slice, this extra time enables them to get the clubface a little squarer than it would normally be and it straightens out the shot. “Offset clubs definitely help players control their slice, but if a person has time, investing in a lesson package would be more beneficial. “If a player just wants some technology to help them straighten out their shot and they don’t want to go to lessons, then off-

considered a temporary type of insurance, and can then provide convertible options into a permanent type of insurance. When you pay down the mortgage debt, you can reduce the coverage amount to a permanent coverage to a minimum amount of $100,000 providing a tax free lump sum amount for estate planning purposes. Permanent insurance provides coverage that you own until death. There are two types of permanent insurance, whole life and universal life. Under the whole life plan, you pay premiums for a certain period of time or for life. Some policies, offer the ability to build up cash value. Universal life insurance offers a combination of insurance coverage and tax-advantaged investing. You have a choice of investment accounts and the earnings remain tax sheltered as long as the money stays within the policy. As your needs change in the future, you can add features, benefits and investment accounts. There are many things to consider before you purchase a life insurance contract that will last for decades and perhaps your entire life. Make sure you choose a life insurance broker
with a well established company with proven financial stability, and who is committed to renewing your insurance needs on a regular basis. In the event of a claim, you want to ensure you have easy access to a professional who will assist you in the claim process. Find an advisor you trust and feel comfortable with to make an informed decision that can last beyond your lifetime. Your advisor should be a broker, offering multiple products and insurance solutions, to suit your budget and needs. Buying life insurance through the Internet is not cheaper than buying your coverage from a local brokerage company in your community. In the event of a death, who will assist you or your family member during the claim process with on-line life insurance? Determine how much insurance is enough and what premium rate you can afford within your budget. Purchase a life insurance contract that will change with you as you go through your many life stages.

SIR ELTON JOHN performing at Prospera Place in Kelowna last Saturday.
Sir Elton did not disappoint his fans Barry Gerding EDITOR
Elton John’s sold-out concert at Prospera Place last Saturday night was nothing short of a tribute to his fans who have stuck with him throughout the trials and tribulations of his career. While Sir Elton has had occasional hits over the past 20 years, it was during his reign of success in the 1970s, at his creative best working with long-time lyricist Bernie Taupin, that he developed a musical body of work that has stood the test of time. And his concert here on Saturday spent a lot of time revisiting that era of his music, playing all his memorable hits, staples of classic rock radio still today, along with a few surprises. And looking around at the audience, it was widely evident that many who came to see him perform were part of the fan base he developed during his early years, fans who have stuck with him since as they, like him, have grown older and become somewhat disconnected from mod-
ern music. Backed by a band that included two of his original band members from that ’70s era, drummer Nigel Olsson and guitarist Davey Johnstone, Elton showed again that his love for performing live remains his passion even today at the age of 63. While his flair for outlandish costumes and physical stage theatrics have toned down—he did stand up on his piano for a rousing version of The Bitch Gets Back but he was careful to step down and get back to his piano bench—he still showed an energy on stage that belied his age. While his band took two breaks during the concert, Elton remained on stage for the entire more than two and half hour show, playing extended piano solos and singing a number of his songs alone on stage, just him and his piano. As they played hit after hit, it was very evident that the band was having fun interacting with Elton on stage musically, with the audience and hamming it up for the video cameras. While Elton has become known over the years for touring solo, as he did with his previ-
ous concert at Prospera Place in 2003, he clearly enjoys playing with his band and that was evident throughout the evening. In introducing each of them to the crowd, he referred to his bandmates as “great musicians and great people.” Saturday’s concert was also a reminder of how Elton built his legendary status in pop music largely on the merits of his power chord ballads. While rockers like Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting, Crocodile Rock and The Bitch Is Back were audience fist pumpers on Saturday, listening to his old hits again was a reminder that his ballads, with their signature keyboard riffs, were and continue to be his stock in trade. His final two songs emphasized that fact, closing out the show with Circle Of Life from the The Lion King soundtrack and Your Song. And Elton didn’t leave many others out of his show either, performing Levon, Rocket Man, Daniel, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Candle In The Wind, Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Sorry
Seems To Be The Hardest Word, The Way You Look Tonight, and a new song from his upcoming album You’re Never Too Old To Love Somebody. Other musical gems he pulled from his catalogue of hits on Saturday included Philadelphia Freedom, Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Tiny Dancer, I’m Still Standing, Bennie And The Jets, I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues and Sad Songs (Say So Much). Elton didn’t have a lot to say throughout the show. He made reference to the fact he was half Canadian because his partner is from Toronto, that he’s always had a soft spot for Canada, and that playing smaller gigs like Kelowna and Prince George the night before are important to him. “It’s not always about the bigger cities, it’s also about the people who live in between,” he said. Elton also drew enthusiastic applause as he took time to sign autographs from fans in the front row, ranging from record albums and souvenirs to a T-shirt, which he spread out on his piano in order to write his autography.

Minogue’s thin-voiced sound doesn’t rock North Americans KYLIE MINOGUE: APHRODITE (PARLOPHONE/EMI)
The Kylie Minogue story tends to repeat itself with each new album, Aphrodite being studio release number 11. This disc will probably score at least three hits in her adopted homeland of Great Britain while Minogue still mostly gets overlooked in N.

Needle Points
Lovely Lacework
Why wear a cardigan just down to the waistline? This sharp looking long sleeve cardigan is a hip hugger without the hugging as there is only the one fastener, midriff. This gorgeous cardigan also doubles as a breeze breaker when the wind is at your back. Knit on 4 mm circular needles there is no side seam and is knit all in one piece to the set-in sleeves. Knitting instructions are given in 6 sizes including Plus sizes, from bust size 81 cm (32 in.) to 137 cm (54 in.). There is a fancier short sleeve version as well, with matching triangle lacework and complementary arrowheads. Knit in Sirdar’s “Flirt” it requires 12 to 20 – 50 gram balls for the long sleeve and 11 to 19 balls for the short sleeve one. “Flirt” is composed of 80% Bamboo/20% Wool, drapes very well, and has 10 fashion shades with an additional 29 shades in Flirt’s sister, “Baby Bamboo”. Alternatively, any suitable DK can be substituted. For a free downloadable copy of this pattern, please go to www.freepatterndownload.com/beta/ and click on pattern number 9273.

reedy, synth-driven, discopop sounds almost quaint. Still, Aphrodite made its debut in the top 10 in the Canadian charts as we have always welcomed Minogue more vigorously than our neighbours to the south. The lead off song, All The Lover’s, is getting some club action but at age 42 Minogue still sounds girlish with her thin voice that may or not be as a result of her beating breast cancer a few years ago. But Minogue has also tried to keep up with
the times recording here with Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters and hot shot DJ and mixologist Calvin Harris. But can it really be 23 years since a 19-yearold Minogue had her only No.1 American hit with the remake of Little Eva’s Loco-motion. B-

on from the promising “heatseekers” category to the top 10 of the contemporary rock charts after a half dozen or so releases. This is edgy guitardriven rock where Gabel and co. look back at their past radicalism and offkilter idealism and wonder if it wasn’t all a big waste of time. The lead single, I Was A Teenage Anarchist, more or less puts the band’s newfound sensibilities on the line—and it wouldn’t hurt the hooded, black-dressed protesters at Toronto’s recent G20 summit to give this CD a listen, too. Anyway, I also liked Against Me!’s eclecticism. Check out the U2 arena rock of Spanish Moss, the Green Day post punk of High Pressure Low and (yes!) even the nod to the Sex Pistols on the one minute and 40 second Rapid Decompression. B-
NEEMA: WATCHING YOU THINK (SONY)
Yeah it is a bit of a pain in the butt spelling it NEeMA but what the heck, we accommodate kd lang and 3OH!3. All kidding aside, NEeMA is a Montreal based folk singer/poet/ storyteller with considerable talent which alone should make her Watching You Think album noteworthy. But the CD was produced by Leonard Cohen (who also painted the liner portrait) and Pierre Marchand of Ron Sexsmith and Sarah McLachlan fame, and that should really give NEeMA a solid career boost, not to forget the musical help from Tim Kingsburn (Arcade
Fire) and Gurpreet Chana (Nelly Furtado). NEeMA offers some lovely jazz/folk on the opener Unspoken and remakes Dire Straits’ fine Romeo And Juliet into an interesting folk song. Many of NEeMA’s songs seem obsessed with mortality and that is probably explained by the passing of her sister last year which gives an eerie and moody bent to several songs. However, the Burt Bacharach-like pop of the song Escape could put NEeMA in the pop charts but until then this is an excellent and even literary album. It comes with a bookmarker that quotes Robert Green Ingersoll with: “In the presence of eternity the mountains are as transient as the clouds.” B
TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS: MOJO (REPRISE)
Tom Petty has always been what you would call a roots Americana musician but he has rarely recorded pure blues songs. Things don’t get much more rootsy than the
blues so I guess Petty ha covered the gamut with this new album with his legendary backing band The Heartbreakers (as op posed to the several albums Petty has recorded as a solo artist). This lengthy album of 15 tracks over an hour sees Petty playing aroun with delta blues on U.S. 41, Muddy-styled Chica go blues on Taking My Time, Allman Bros.-like blues jams on First Flash Of Freedom and even some Led Zep-heavy blues on I Should Have Known It—the first sing and minor hit. Petty even tries his hand at a slow reggae song here with the hemp prohibition song Don’t Pull Me Over. While it is great to hear Petty hooked up with his pals of yesteryear, there is a weariness on Mojo that seems pervasive. Maybe a few cov ers would have helped things out but Petty as th original blues composer isn’t quite as good on disc as it sounds on pape superb guitar work from Mike Campbell notwith standing. B-

PRE-HST SAVINGS
EXTENDED The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In many cases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to announce that Dignityâ&#x201E;˘ Memorial funeral homes are extending the pre-HST savings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but only for a limited time. By planning ahead you will: s 2ELIEVE YOUR FAMILY OF THE EMOTIONAL and ďŹ nancial burden an unplanned funeral can cause s 0REVENT EMOTIONAL OVERSPENDING s ,OCK IN PRICES AT TODAY S RATES Full payment is not required to qualify for the savings.

nations. In addition to this cash donation, employees from Valley First’s five Kelowna branches have already collected and delivered more than 300 pounds of food to the food bank. On July 15, Jocelynn Wells, Valley First’s regional manager for the Central Okanagan, presented food bank executive director Vonnie Lavers with the first of what Valley First hopes will be many sizeable cheques. “The way our employees, members and communities have embraced Feed the Valley has been amazing,” said Valley First president Paulette Rennie. “Along with our already well-established community support initiatives, Feed the Valley represents a long-term commitment for Valley First and we are aiming to raise more than $1 million for local food banks over the next decade.” Developed as a corporate citizenship program at Valley First, Feed the Valley aims to eliminate hunger by raising food, funds and awareness for local food banks. Since its March 16 launch, Feed the Valley has raised more than $45,000 for food banks across the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson areas. “Feed the Valley has really helped raise the profile of the food bank in our area,” said Lavers. “With the ongoing enthusiasm and contributions from Valley First employees and members, we can continue to make a real difference to the Kelowna community.” Community members can support the Feed the Valley program by donating non-perishable food items or making cash donations at their nearest Valley First branch. All donations are taxdeductible and can be made as one-time contributions, through regular, pre-authorized payments or online through www. feedthevalley.ca. Valley First is a division of First West Credit Union, B.C.’s third-largest credit union, which has 37 branches and 29 insurance offices throughout the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Kitimat and Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys. First West has approximately $5.6 billion in assets, 167,000 members and more than 1,150 employees.
