▼ THE HOMELESS
Study results offer shocking insights Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Older women and youth are a growing presence on Kelowna’s streets, the regional district’s social development coordinator told city council Monday. “Our homeless are getting older, they’re getting younger and they have acute mental health issues,” said Christene Walsh, explaining that the bulk of the population fall into the 40 to 60 and 13 to 18 year old demographic. Last January, Walsh spent two weeks conducting a survey of the services available to Kelowna’s homeless population and found there were 414 males and females using recovery or transitional homes. There were an additional 101 using the community’s basic shelter. Those counts, however, are the tip of the iceberg. The Social Planning and Research Council of B.C., in a survey of hidden homeless in Kelowna, Prince George, Kamloops, Nelson and Nanaimo, projected a significant number of men and women without permanent shelter on a yearly basis. “There are approximately 1,489 hidden homeless people in Kelowna, 796 in Nanaimo, 718 in Prince George, 1,167 in Kamloops and 306 in Nelson,” said Walsh. Mayor Sharon Shepherd added she recently gained a first hand view of some of the city’s hidden homeless when she took a tour of the streets with Walsh. “It shocked me,” she said. “There are women in this community who are prostituting for places to rent. “They’re not young, they’re older women, ones you wouldn’t recognize as people who would be prostituting themselves.” To get a jump on both streams of homelessness, Walsh said there needs to be further investment in everything from housing to social workers. “We have a need for long term housing, with 24hour site staff,” she said, stressing that homes must come with staff. “These are people who need more than a place to live.” There also needs to be further investment in addictions and mental health services and in breaking down See Shocking A6

▼ FLOODING
Rising lake level raises overflow issues Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Water levels in Okangan Lake rose by another two centimetres over the weekend as the City of Kelowna, West Kelowna and the Central Okanag-
an Regional District try to stave off flood damage. Joe Creron, the City of Kelowna director of civic operations, said he’s been told lake levels have only reached heights similar to the present condition six times in the last century.
All the municipality and B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations can do is minimize damage, he said, noting preventing any impact altogether is no longer an option. “It’s a balancing act,”
he said. “It’s just not something that’s very simple.” The ministry handles the water system valleywide and must ensure that overflow in Vernon or Kelowna doesn’t simply pass down the line to Penticton where it could cause
Skaha Lake to overflow, pushing the problem further south, even as far as the American border. Water levels in Kelowna are currently eight See Overflow A6

THE CITY OF Kelowna’s rendition of how the Cedar Avenue properties would look if turned into a combination of parkland and commercial development along the waterfront.
▼ WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT
Council goes back to Cedar Ave. drawing board Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Strong public opposition convinced the majority of Kelowna city council to quash a controversial mixed use development on the waterfront Monday. “I do believe the democratic process is here for a reason, and decisions should be made by the people who show up,” said Coun. Angela Reid Nagy, referring to the three times
in as many months, when pro-park supporters filled council chambers to express opposition against a city-driven plan for a portion of Cedar Avenue. The plan called for the rezoning of half of 2.3 acres of city-owned land, that would allow for sale to a developer who could build a mixed use development. If council had supported the plan, the proceeds of that sale, would have allowed the city to
fund a boardwalk, park and restoration of the shore. Instead, they’ll go back to the drawing board. “I think we should go back to the public for additional consultation, so we can build consensus on what (a future development) would look like,” said Reid Nagy, before she made a motion to implement a new area planning and public consultation process for the South Pandosy neighbourhood.
Couns. Kevin Craig, Michele Rule and Charlie Hodge supported the motion, that pave the way for an Area Redevelopment plan for the Cedar Avenue area, all noting that public consensus is key to success. “South Pandosy is doing really well,” said Craig. “It’s a compact neighbourhood where people can live work and play and having a waterfront park there would enhance the area.”
Planning for any development at this point, he said, wouldn’t garner support. “I think we’re better off getting broader consensus,” he said. Craig’s comments earned cheers from the crowd of about 180 who gathered in council chambers. “We didn’t get what we didn’t want,” said Michael Neill as he left city hall. Neill, who has been a galvanizing figure in the battle against the water-
front development, said he’s looking forward to the city coming to the table to discuss the issue further. But, he said, they could have done it earlier and the community would be closer to getting a park. Mayor Sharon Sheherd and Coun. Robert Hobson had to abstain from the Cedar Avenue conversation due to a conflict of interest, but Couns. Luke Stack, Andre Blanleil and Graeme James
voted in favour of the commercial/residential rezoning. “I know this has been a controversial issue,” said Coun. Luke Stack. “But it took staff many, many, many years to secure all these properties…through that longterm strategy the city has secured the land. “If that hadn’t been done we’d be looking at seven monster homes up and down the lake, and the public would never have access.”
Initial investor parkland saviour has now vanished Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna bookstore owner Michael Neill has taken a few lumps in his battle to save a portion of waterfront from development. But on Monday, when the fight to create greenspace on 2.3 acres along Cedar Avenue resumed in city council, his word came under fire. “Certain area residents have been verbal spokespersons for an anonymous donor. Statements have been made about the donor and his/her desire to work with the city,” said Derek Edstrom, the city’s manager for strategic land management.
“Staff can confirm that the donor has not come forward to speak with the city and the media, and apparently will not come forward in the near future. Hence, the validity of (the donor) can’t be confirmed or denied.” Edstrom continued, explaining that there was a secondary donor city staff has been speaking with, but they were unable to nail down what they’d be willing to donate, let alone when, and that donor had nothing to do with Neill. With that issue out of the way, Edstrom recommended the process to rezone the properties pick up where it was last April, before Neill’s news of a mystery donor scuttled the process.
It was a welcome direction forward, to Neill, who said the donor story was, regrettably, overblown. “I’m disappointed that this was ever made public…People make these decisions without thinking through all the way,” he said, stressing that he stands by his original assertion that there was a donor—they’ve just chosen to not come forward. The regret, he explained, stems from the fact that the issue of the park fell to the wayside, in favour of discussion about the donor. “The message was lost,” he said. “We need to separate two issues into two piles. First, we need to decide what you want to do with your por-
tion of the city, then once you’ve decided, we will work with financing.” As for the mystery donor who apparently offered the $2.3 million required to have the land turned into a park space, Neill said he will continue to protect their identity. And the identity of the secondary donor, who city clerk Stephen Fleming announced knowledge of on April 18, remains a mystery to Neill. “I was as shocked as everybody else (that) Monday when Stephen Fleming got up and announced this,” said Neill, explaining he knew that his donor wouldn’t be making his presence known. “I was scratching my head, be-
cause I was thinking, ‘I’m not connected with this donor we’re talking about.’” It took Neill a few days to piece together what happened, but he remembers receiving a phone call from an elderly woman, who had a son not living in Kelowna, who wanted to contribute to the park. “So I told her, she should contact the city and let them know,” he said. “I didn’t know if it was $500 or what that they were willing to donate…I didn’t even take her name down.” He “alluded to” city staff early on that the potential donor was separate from the person he mentioned, but they didn’t take heed until recently.
City encourages other payment options during postal dispute With no mail service during the job action at Canada Post, the City of Kelowna wants to alert residents about other ways to pay bills, monitor accounts, or receive pay-
ment for services. With property taxes due July 4, the lineup at City Hall is expected to get longer during the next two weeks. Residents can avoid the lineup by making
arrangements with their financial institutions for online or inperson payment. Residents can claim their Home Owner Grant online at kelowna.ca/propertytax by
clicking on Claim Your Home Owner Grant and following the instructions. They’ll need their property tax notice to complete the application. Customers who prefer to
pay property taxes by cheque can use the City Hall drop boxes at the Water Street entrance or the Doyle Avenue parking lot exit. Another drop box at Par-
kinson Recreation Centre is also available. Additional questions about property tax payments can be directed to 250-469-8757 or email revenue@kelowna.ca.

Woman escapes with minor injuries after falling off a cliff A 20-year-old woman survived a fall down a 30-foot high cliff on Sunday evening at Knox Mountain Provincal Park. The incident occurred at about 7:40 p.m.
The woman involved had been at the look out area with two friends where all were sitting on some rocks on the hillside. The three were leaving the area when the victim realized she had left
her cell phone where they had been sitting and went back to retrieve it. When she did not rejoin her friends, they went back to the area and found the victim at the bottom of the cliff near some trees.
Fortunately, she was conscious and did not appear seriously injured, however, she could not help herself and had to be extracted by members of the Kelowna Fire Department’s High Angle Rescue team.
She was taken to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Police say there was evidence of alcohol consumption which may have been a contributing factor.

centimetres above a full pool and the snowpack has not melted. To mitigate the problem, the City of Kelowna is pumping storm drains in the downtown core to try and protect critical infrastructure like City Hall and the RCMP station, but flooding did occur last week at both the Water Street Seniors’ Centre and Kelowna Community Theatre. All it would take for more flooding is a snap hot spell to cause a rapid snow melt or heavy rains to push water levels higher, Creron said. “That’s what happened on Mission Creek,” he noted, referring to the state of emergency declared a week ago over the creek’s water levels. “We believe we should be OK there. The water has actually started to go down in the creek…(But) you’re playing with a lot of variables.” The pumps current-
ly keeping the storm sewers at a manageable level pump 5,000 gallons per minute and two have been deployed. Kelowna alone has given the ministry a $350,000 estimate to hold the waters at bay for another six weeks in hopes of securing assistance and that’s not including possible funding needs in the surrounding municipalities. Residents on both sides of the lake are being given the option to sandbag. The City of Kelowna is providing free sand at the Cook Street boat launch and bags can be picked up from the Number One Fire Hall on Enterprise Way for residents in both Kelowna and West Kelowna. Those in Casa Loma can head to the northern corner of the beach access parking lot by the pump house in the 2600 block of Casa Loma Road.

Solar generation panels added to Waldorf School Solar B.C. has awarded a grant to the Waldorf School to install a photovoltaic system to supply locally generated power to the school. The Kelowna school is one of 11 schools in B.C. to receive a total of $20,000 in funding out of 50 that originally applied. Cindy Taylor, the pedagogical administrator for Waldorf, said, “We are thrilled to receive this. Our pupils as well as those in other schools in Kelowna will demonstrate how alternative technologies can and should be used.” The Waldorf School’s curriculum includes solar power, biodynamic gardening and sustainable farming. The solar project will ultimately provide the power to the school’s heat, lights, stoves, fridges and office equipment. When the school’s energy requirements are lower, the solar energy collected from the panels will “feed the grid” and benefit others in Kelowna. “In addition to our school reducing its carbon footprint, the extra power that
we collect will be shared with the community. Community and sharing is part of what Waldorf Education is all about,” Taylor said. The solar project will begin in the summer and complete by the end of 2011. The public and students of Kelowna will be invited to view the progress of the installation process. Once installed, the pupils will be able to take part in learning exercises about solar energy. As well, the public will be invited to view the photovoltaic system and see how it contributes power to the Waldorf school. The Waldorf School has been inspiring children for over 29 years. The KWS offers pre-school through Grade 8 with an average student teacher ratio of one to 14. The Waldorf approach works from the inside out, focusing on giving children a deep confidence in their own learning process, and having a deep sense of wonder and respect for life and learning.

City’s reputation tarnished again
T
he Vancouver Canucks lost their third chance to hoist the Stanley Cup last Wednesday night. The City of Vancouver, and the Metro Vancouver region, lost a reputation. The last time the Canucks lost in the Stanley Cup final, back in 1994, there was a riot in downtown Vancouver. One person suffered serious injuries, store windows were broken and thousands were caught up in mischief and mayhem.
This left a permanent stain on the reputation of Vancouver, as a city of sore losers and one where mayhem could break out, on almost a moment’s notice. It took years to deal with the aftermath. The 1994 riot was one reason that the security budget for the 2010 Winter Olympics was so large — organizers and all three levels of government did not want a repeat. The day after the Olympics began last February, a group of
250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575
anarchists known as “the Black bloc” broke store windows and frightened visitors. Reprisals were swift and security was noticeably stepped up. From that point on, the Olympics became a wonderful, peaceful event. Perhaps that fooled Vancouver Police. Perhaps they felt that all the people who congregate in downtown Vancouver when there is a major event underway are willing to behave themselves. On all the previous evenings, with Can-
ucks’ games televised for huge crowds on the streets, things were peaceful. On Wednesday, the game wasn’t even over before trouble began. People were overturning vehicles, setting them on fire, leading charges to break windows, looting, stabbing others and taunting police, who showed amazing restraint. All the carefully-built improvement to the reputation of the city was sadly destroyed as a result.

But while The Bay became message central—first on the wooden boards and then, when room ran out, on homemade material signs hung in rows two deep the entire length of the store’s front awning—it is not the only site of wood over windows. There were plenty of those. At the Bay, someone has written in large black letters over many of the simple messages of support, seven words that sum up the collective feeling of a city. “TO THE VANDALS.
WE WILL GET YOU!!!” And that’s just what’s happening on the Internet. Close to a million images and 1,000 hours of video have been forwarded to the Vancouver police with the aim of outing the rioters and looters. On social media sites people are posting pictures slamming those appearing to enjoy the carnage. The very people who think of themselves as part of the Internet Age are being now hoisted on their own electronic petards. What we have here is an Internet ass-kicking. Did the idiots pictured actually think that with everyone now carrying a camera on their cellphones they
would go about their destructive ways unnoticed? Were they really so stupid as to think there would be anonymity in a crowd of people hell bent on recording the moment for posterity? The current name and shame campaign using social media is likely to carry huge ramifications for the many who acted like idiots. And rightly so. What’s unfortunate is the aftermath will not get the international attention the rioting got. And that’s a pity because that story is proving to be just as powerful.

LETTERS
A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference
▼ REFERENDUM
Argument to keep HST To the editor: I endorse keeping the HST: • It provides more income for the province so that services such as health care can be better paid for
• It provides funds for reducing BC government debt • Families and seniors that need help will be given rebates to offset their costs of the HST • The HST is business
friendly, easier to apply and manage, and will stimulate the economy to everyone’s benefit • Given a few years, the HST system compared to the PST/GST system, will cost us less
• Remember, if we choose to go back to the PST/GST system, we the BC taxpayer, will have to repay $1.6 billion to the federal government. Voting to extinguish the HST and reverting to
the PST/GST system is a step backwards. Please vote to keep the HST and ensure a brighter future for British Columbia. Len Novakowski, West Kelowna
250-860-2356
www.unitedwaycso.com
Should we ‘keep the devil we now know?’ To the editor: It’s all fine and dandy to speak pro or con on the subject of HST (letters Capital News June 10), but the main question to be asked is: Will the items added at the time of inception
of the HST be dropped? My guess is no. So if people vote to axe the HST, somewhere down the road another form of value added tax will come forth. What then? Should
we vote to keep the devil we now know, or take a chance on the future? Food for thought. Betty Fehlhaber, Kelowna
▼ SMALL BUSINESS
No-shows take income from service providers twice To the editor: This letter is addressed to all the people who call to make appointments but never show up for those appointments. I work in the health and wellness industry, providing excellent care as a professionally trained Swedish massage provider. Over the years I have
spoken to a large number of people who provide aesthetics, reflexology, reiki and massage care, to name a few, and have come to realize that they too experience a fair number of ‘no-shows.’ It is one thing to call and cancel your appointment; however, to simply not show up is another.
You no-shows need to realize that we take the time to set up for you which often involves the heating of the room. So, you end up causing us to needlessly waste money on power. The worst part though, is that you don’t seem to realize that you basically mess with our income. By
that I mean that while we give you the benefit of the doubt that you are going to show up, we often end up losing a client who wanted the same time slot as you. So, in a way, we lose out not once, but twice! When you can’t even take the time to call to cancel your appointment you basically tell us that
we don’t matter. So, from all of us who work in the wellness industry at the small scale level, to all of you noshows we hope that you will reconsider how you view us in the future and take the time to realize that we have bills to pay too. Linda MacGillivray, Kelowna
Only one chance to get Cedar Avenue park right To the editor: Re: Cedar Avenue park. Our city continues to grow and we need every bit of lakeshore beaches and parks that we can get. Now we have a significant opportunity for a wonderful family-oriented park and someone thinks a few extra dollars in the city coffers is more important. How short sighted can this be? Do beaches need condos? No—beaches need people of all ages. Shallow water for babies, sandy beach for activities for all ages, green grass and shade trees for adults and the elderly. A green oasis on the shores of the Okanagan Lake. The southern end of Pandosy has many new condos, upgraded commercial buildings for professional and medical needs, unique shopping and food outlets—truly a centre for people of all ages. To be able to add a useful park at Cedar and Abbott is a blessing to our citizens. Our current council and staff have obviously been making other plans. Why? How many hours have staff given to their version of what they think we should want?
How much money was squandered on CD 21? How much money was spent on the previous plan for a “stepped down” core a few years ago? How much money was spent on the Jim Stuart Park in the last several years? How much money was spent on a legal issue with the Greenway Project? How much money was invested in the plans for a park south of the highway bridge some 50 years ago? When and how was this widely touted asset allowed to die and why? The city plans for the condo on Cedar Avenue feature stairs. Yes, the condo is to be divided by a “breezeway” to allow citizens to “look through” from Abbott to the lake. Are you prepared to walk up and down a flight of stairs from Abbott, cross over, and down a flight of stairs to reach the beach? Do you think potential condo owners want the public walking through their building? We already have a similar example at the north end of Kelowna. The city insists that the public be allowed to pass through a breezeway, rather than use an existing sidewalk a few feet away.
There are many examples of the shortsighted construction authorized by our city staff and councils. I believe the city’s current stance on this property is misguided. We all want our future to be as ‘green’ as possible. Cedar Avenue park is a lovely green spot now. Why would our city—especially our ‘green’ councillors— even consider putting condos on this land? The city owns acres of land at Richter and Highway 97. Plenty of room for condos and commercial development to increase population and activity in our central core. What is it costing us to leave this land empty year after year? Maybe we citizens need an overview of what we own and future plans for these properties. Cedar Avenue and Abbott Street is ideally suited to be a family park. Don’t be misled by a scheme that is shady in too many ways. Don’t lose this opportunity to enhance our city. M.F. Wort, Kelowna

To the editor: Re: Fruit Growers Appeal for Public’s Support June 15 Capital News. Regarding the nutritional value of apples— today you must eat at least four apples to get
the nutrients of an apple that was produced in the 1940s. These were grown without chemicals and the correct use of organic nutrients deterred pests and weeds. Relearn how to grow “real food” and undo all the harm that chemical growing has done. Do not reply by mimicking the multi-national chemical companies by saying it is
not profitable, the yields are lower etc., as these arguments are totally untruthful. Done correctly organic nutrient-dense crops are far better yielding, less expensive to produce, (no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides) and command a higher price because of the demand for food that will not cause harm.

Discrimination complaint presented to district council Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
West Kelowna is being accused of discriminating against a resident who is disabled because it wants to treat her the same as everyone else. Glenn Olien, whose partner Linda Forner requires a large recreational vehicle for her living accommodation, says the municipality has a duty to reasonably accommodate people with disabilities and, as a result, should allow a “relaxation” of its bylaws to allow the RV to be connected to their ex-
isting property’s sewer and electrical systems. The RV, which Olien concedes is very large, is not a manufactured home as the municipality contends but is in fact, recognized by the Canadian Standard’s Association as a recreational vehicle. It would be located beside the house Olien and Forner have shared for years and is required because of Forner’s disability. A concrete pad needs to be built for the RV to provide a level place for it and a small deck is also required. Both are allowed
without a permit. But the sewer and electrical connections appear to be the stumbling blocks in this case. “This duty to reasonably accommodate is a very powerful tool the District of West Kelowna to use in order to do what is right for people with disabilities,” said Olien is a submission to council. In an interview with the Capital News on Monday, he said the bigger issue is that the district does not have anything addressing its duty to accommodate people with disabilities.
Olien said by treating his and Forner’s request as a variance—something he described as a move council has choice in making—as opposed to a “relaxation,” which is something relative to a person with a disability that is not only allowed but compelled, West Kelowna is discriminating against Forner. He would not publicly divulge Forner’s disability but said it has been reveled to municipal officials. He said such cases should not be about an individual’s disability but rather the fact the munici-
pality does not accommodate people with disabilities. Olien and Forner have been trying to deal with the issue of the recreational vehicle for the last year. But Jason Johnston, West Kelowna’s chief administrative officer, said his staff do not have the ability to change bylaw requirements. That rests with council and that is normally done through variances. Mayor Doug Findlater expressed sympathy about the situation and suggested a temporary use permit.
But Olien rejected that saying a temporary use permit would have to be renewed every three years and stability is important. He said Forner has the right to decide where she wants to live and that is being taken from her if the municipality refuses to allow the RV. Coun. Bryden Winsby expressed concern about a “one-off” situation if council allows such a change for one person. But Olien countered that when it comes to accommodating people with disabilities each case will be different and needs to be dealt with on its own. Coun. Carol Zanan said she would like to see something done but questioned how far council needs to go to ccommodate one person. Coun. Duane Ophus suggested a staff re-
port is needed to show the best way to accommodate Forner’s needs. Olien expressed his frustration saying the issue has been going back and forth for more than a year and his patience is wearing thin. “What we have is a failure of anyone (at the district) to take this seriously,” he said, adding if it continues he may commit an “act of civil disobedience.” He did not say what that would be. But he said he will complain to the B.C. Human Rights Commission if necessary, noting Canada signed the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Person’s with Disabilities last year. Council meanwhile asked district staff to look into the situation and report back.

Water users reminded about CORD watering restrictions The Regional District of Central Okanagan is reminding customers of its five water systems that outdoor water use restrictions apply all year round. By following the regu-
lations, it says residents will help ensure reservoirs are replenished and there will be an adequate water supply. From June 16 to Sept. 15 (unless other restric-
tions are in place), stage two water restrictions are in effect for customers of the Dietrich/Star Place, Falcon Ridge, Killiney Beach, Sunset Ranch and Westshore water systems.
That restricts outdoor watering to two days each week. CORD water customers with even number addresses can only irrigate outdoors on Saturdays
and Tuesdays, while those with odd addresses can only water on Sundays and Wednesdays. Under the regional district water bylaw, customers with automated ir-
rigation systems can only water if needed on their allotted day between midnight and 6 a.m., while people with manual outdoor irrigation must restrict their watering to be-
tween 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. and between 6 p.m. and midnight on their respective irrigation days. The regional district is asking residents who don’t need to water outdoors on their allotted days or time periods, not to do and not waste water. CORD’s water systems service more than 800 customers in the Killiney Beach, Westshore Estates, Falcon Ridge, Sunset Ranch and Dietrich/Star Place areas. Between Sept. 16 and June 15 each year, stage one restrictions are in place allowing customers to water outdoors on alternating days. Those with even-numbered addresses may irrigate on even numbered calendar days and customers with odd-numbered addresses may water outdoors on odd number days. For tips on water conservation inside and outside your home, go to the regional district’s water system webpage at regionaldistrict.com/water.

Since the Rutland Centennial Hall was built in 1967 as a Centennial project, the roof over time has deteriorated and begun to leak. The Rutland Park Society, which oversees the park and hall, has embarked on a fundraising effort to help cover the costs of a new roof. The recent May Days celebration was a part of that effort. The next fundraiser happens on Sunday, June 26, when the B.C. professional wrestling roadshow returns to the Rutland community hall. Among the wrestlers on hand will be Kelowna’s “Mad Dog” Marty Sugar, Sgt. Terry “The Frog” Tomko, the reigning Thrash Wrestling Champion and RSS grad Collin Cutler and The Great Kasaki All tickets are $15, available at the door, or in advance at either Players Choice Collectibles or Valley Pawnbrokers.

Help to thwart vehicle vandals About 30 vehicles were recently vandalized in Rutland, a sign again that vehicle owners must be vigilant in protecting their cars and trucks when parked at home. Several streets were targeted and the vehicles had glass, interior and hammer-related damage. Local ICBC staff immediately took action and visited the affected neighbourhoods on Friday, knocking on doors to resolve customers’ claims as quickly as possible. RCMP subsequently arrested the suspects involved. ICBC would like to remind drivers of six ways to help protect your vehicle: 1. Use an anti-theft device. 2. Park in well lit areas, near pedestrian traffic. 3. Remove possessions from your vehicle —shopping bags, spare change, electronics, brief cases, etc. 4. Do not keep spare keys to your vehicle in the vehicle. Remove valet keys. 5. Keep your garage door opener out of sight. If parking on the street outside your residence, take the garage door opener with you. 6. Wait for the garage door gate to close behind you. Thieves could take this opportunity to slip inside the parkade.

About 80 per cent of the remote locations traveled to by Swanky were done on his motorcycle. Needless to say, catching up with Swanky proved to be challenging and I finally found him stationary at the local BMW dealer while he was having his motorcycle serviced. After hearing of a history as a logger, a selftaught photo journalist and then a professional photography studio owner, it became clear how the early beginnings in the outdoors and a history of telling stories with photos would make Swanky the perfect candidate for the book.

NEWS Mix from A14 profession is represented and the book was aimed at attracting new health care practitioners by exposing the lifestyle that comes along with working in the North,” continued Swanky. Swanky’s part of the project took just over a year to complete because “I wanted to represent all the scenery that the seasons have to offer and the diverse outdoor playground of Northern British Columbia.” “All the images were photographed prior to any writing,” said Swanky. “Every aspect of the photography was a clean canvas. It didn’t have to live up to any pre-conceived idea. Complete creative direction was all mine.” As I listened, I couldn’t help but notice the tan on Swanky’s face—a sure sign of many hours behind bars this season already. “I was given names and phone numbers. I knew nothing about the people, and no concept of twhat I was in for. I would phone the individuals and ask them about their passions away from work. The mandate of the book did not allow for any work or occupational photos— this was a book about the people.” A dream project by any photographer’s standard, however, selecting
to do all the necessary travel by motorcycle may not be the transportation of choice for most but for Swanky it was the only choice. “I wanted to be paid to ride,” laughed Swanky. “The plan was to try and ride as much as I could while still working. “It was an ideal job that would allow me to ride. No schedules—if I got weathered out, I could just wait it out.” After reviewing the published photos, I wondered how Swanky managed to get the proper lighting to capture such professional images. Good photography requires specific lighting so we were interested about what concessions Swanky had to make in gear selection in order to take his motorcycle? “With today’s advancing technology and thanks to Joe McNally and his lighting course. I packed light without sacrificing quality,” Swanky said. McNally is a worldfamous National Geographic photographer. He hosted a weeklong lighting workshop in Santa Fe, New Mexico that Swanky attended. The topic was location lighting and the effective use of small strobes in place of large studio lights. “With that knowledge, a portion of the images in the book are lit with small
strobe units and the balance with natural light,” he said. It was difficult to tell the difference and that was exactly what Swanky was aiming for. Shooting with his favourite body, and four independent strobes, that
left two luggage compartments for clothing and necessities and no room for camping gear. “When I ride anywhere, I prefer to camp. I really don’t like hotels and motels. I would rather have the same bad bed each night instead of a dif-
ferent bad bed each night,” said Swanky. Picture the bike—a 2009 Buell Uylesses— with hard saddlebags and a trunk. One saddle bag for camera gear, one for clothing and necessities and the top trunk with his office
(laptop, phone, and camera/lighting accessories. The travel gear was 80 per cent camera equipment and 20 per cent personal effects. As for lighting stands, well those were the passenger strapped cleverly to the passenger seat.
“I had recently sold m Harely-Davidson Roa King to buy what I had en visioned would be the per fect motorcycle (the Bue Uylesses). It was fast an comfortable on pavemen and adept off road—th perfect travel machine he said.

Students help get Kelowna Fire Museum off the ground Just when Brian Moore thought the Kelowna Fire Museum would never be built, an idea came to him like a bolt of lightning. “It was 3 a.m. and I was thinking about it wondering what to do, and then I realized—the
electrical students at Okanagan College.” Moore, who works full-time as a Kelowna firefighter, is the executive director of the Friends of the Fire Museum Society, the new society that took over the old Boyd’s Auto-

body building at the corner of Leon and Pandosy. “The project has basically been stalled for the last year or so because we couldn’t find any electricians with permits who could do the commercial work.” Stoked with excitement at the possibility, Moore dialled up Okanagan College to see if they could help. Jim Gamble, chair of the electrical trades department, told him it was just the kind of community partnership the college longs for. “Whenever we can create partnerships like this, we grab it. The challenge for us was to make sure we had all the right approvals so we could go ahead,” Gamble said. Gamble checked with his program advisory committee, made up of lo-

Three weeks later, and the once-abandoned job site is now crawling with 28 eager students. “It’s a fantastic experience,” said Okanagan College instructor Tom Stapleton, who is supervising the students along with fellow instructor Gary Walters. “This site was built in the 1940s so it has everything really—old wiring, new wiring, connections that weren’t done correctly even from the start. And
then there’s all the computer and telephone wiring—that’s a bit of a mess —it’s all just running all over the place.” Over the course of two full weeks, a rotation of students are coming in, pulling out the old wires, and installing new ones —a job that would otherwise cost the young society a minimum $15,000 in labour. “This is awesome,” said Brody Raffan, a 22year-old student who enrolled in the program in March. “We had to run wires on top of the roof on scaffolding, and it was pretty high up there. I was a little scared of the height at first, but you get used to it.” It’s that kind of handson experience that classrooms have a tough time replicating, and real-

college’s business administration program wrote up a strategic plan and a feasibility study to apply a new model of non-profit already in use in Europe. Called a “community interest company,” the model allows non-profits to essentially turn a profit, while maintaining their social responsibility. “It’s pretty cool to see this happening,” he said. “You always hear about people being so darn selfish, but you need to remind people that that is not the case—they just don’t hear about it.” Gamble says projects like this help students understand the relevance of their career in more ways than one, and he’s open to hearing from other community groups interested in helping students deepen their skills.

It’s a total win/win situation.” For Moore, it couldn’t be better. “I need to thank every one of them,” Moore said. “They arrived just at our darkest moment. We were stalled at the framing and without the electrical our entire project would be jeopardized. “The whole thing was keeping me up at night, but I’m an eternal optimist and I knew something would happen.” The irony for Moore is that this marks the second time in a matter of months that Okanagan College has assisted the society.

Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan has re-introduced a motion to amend ancient legislation that prohibits sales of wine from wineries that will be taken across provincial borders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada has a robust wine industry and produces some of the best vintages in the world. It is a source of national pride. Yet, Canadians do not have easy access to those products,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cannan is chairman of the Conservative Wine Caucus and made a similar motion during the last session of Parliament as well. The motion has the support of the wine industry, including the B.C. Wine Institute, the Canadian Vintnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association and the Alliance for Canadian Wine Consumers. A web campaign has triggered letter writing and petitions signed by consumers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at freemygrapes.ca. Cannan said he is working with colleagues Gail Shea, the minister of national revenue, and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minister Ritz has been in contact with his provincial counterparts to gauge their interest in
consumer accessibility to Canadian wine and improve marketing options and sales to a larger consumer base for this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wineries. Currently, Canadian wines must be sold across provincial borders only through provincial liquor authorities. Visitors to Okanagan wineries may not legally purchase wines and then take them back home to provinces other than B.C. under the 1928 Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act; nor may win-

So your employee is an anarchist? Family business idea now ▼ ENTREPRENEURS
an entrepreneurial venture Y
I
have discovered what I think is one of the finest examples of entrepreneurial creativity within a family setting that I have ever come across. Enjoy this story because, for me, it was exhilarating to find out about. Wyn Lewis, the patriarch of this wonderful family, and his wife immigrated to Canada in the late 1990s, both trained accountants. After a relatively brief sojourn on Canadian soil, the couple moved to the San Francisco Bay area where there first son, Tony, was born. Like his parents, Tony graduated from high school and began his initial career journey in the banking and accounting fields, not surprising considering the influence of his parents. After working for a tine both in Lake Tahoe and in Los Angeles, Tony, at age 19, launched the beginnings of his entrepreneurial creativity streak, opening a recording studio, no small effort I must admit, to seek entrepreneurial gold. A wonderful example of Tony’s entrepreneurial creativity that he shared with me was when he opened the recording studio in 1999 in Long Beach, it was a struggle to actually amass a tangible profit against operating costs. So Tony and his associates came up with a brilliant idea—he went to a large arena venue and told the owners he wanted to stage a large concert there. He was told he would need to secure some bands to perform before the arena signed off on the idea So Tony went to 10 different groups with this proposal: “I will record in my studio one of your songs for a CD and charge you $200 US to do so.” Henceforth, with 10 bands, he made 10 times $200 US and as part of the deal, each band played at Tony’s concert which sold upwards of 1,000 tickets. Nice work Mr. Lewis. This was a monetary music model Tony would repeat on more than one occasion. In 2001, Tony met and married his wife in Hollywood area and cement-
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young ed a loving bond that has marked his journey to this very date in the Okanagan…but I’m getting ahead of myself because here is where this story goes to the moon and back. Tony had two brothers, each talented in their own rights, one an excellent artist and the other an electronics engineer. The three of them joined forces to form their own retro rock band, and began performing across the U.S. Mom and Dad Lewis, you obviously inspired such freedom of creativity as these three sons were brought into the world and raised in your homes across North America— kudos to both of you! A short time later, the Lewis family moved to Boulder, Col., as Tony’s father Wyn explored yet another milestone in his North American journey. Again, Tony decided to open a multi-faceted recording studio bringing exposure to many talented American musical groups.
When Tony was in his mid-20s, he and his wife had their first child which dramatically changed Tony’s view of the world. At this time, he and his brothers were enjoying significant acclaim with their rock trio, but Tony was beginning to experience the pangs of marriage partnership and fatherhood. He felt compelled to tell his brothers that he needed to pull away from traveling on the road with the band and be home for his family. At that point, the talented trio agreed to move into their own fields of creative endeavours, while at the same time Wyn decided to buy a winery magazine even though his knowledge of the industry was limited. He asked Tony to join him in this venture, and the two decided, why not? Wyn had also at that time acquired some acreage in East Kelowna, suggesting to Tony that perhaps the orchard could be replaced with a vineyard. So in 2007, this father and son duo came to the Okanagan region and began the journey of one of our newest and most exciting winery ventures, a magazine called Vibrant Vines. After a few short
ou’ve all seen the video and still photos of the regrettable events in downtown Vancouver following the Canucks’ Stanley Cup loss. But what if, while watching the news, you spotted one of your employees participating in the mayhem? The first thing you should probably do, as an employer, is nothing. It’s important not to react in a knee-jerk fashion to seeing an employee caught on video smashing a window, looting, setting fires, etc. Take your time, think about the situation, consider what you’ve seen, and get some legal advice. And remember, in criminal matters everyone is innocent until proven guilty (even if the video evidence is quite damning). It may be useful to start from the legal premise that what employees do on their own time is largely their own business, not their employer’s. If, however, their private activities negatively impact their employer’s business or reputation in some manner, then that’s a different matter. If my employee was caught on video lighting a car on fire while plainly wearing a “Smithson Employment Law Corporation” T-shirt, I might have a reason to be concerned. Or, if that employee is so well known in the community that viewers could be expected to connect
YOU WORK him or her with my HERE business, a similar
concern might arise. Similarly, if the employment relationship is one in which observance of the law Robert is a critical element, Smithson the employer may have good reason for concern. As an example, if the employee works in a role counseling young offenders on living a crime-free life, his or her actions on the streets of Vancouver might be seen as undermining the employment relationship. In those instances a disciplinary response, possibly including termination for just cause (in which case no working notice or severance pay would be required), might be justified. This is a conclusion that should only be reached after seeking legal advice about the specific circumstances. Employers can, of course, terminate an employment relationship on a not-for-cause basis as well (at least in a non-union setting). If the employee’s activities were so offensive that the employer simply wants to be rid of him or her, without worrying about whether just cause existed, the not-for-cause route might be the way to go. However, doing so will require compliance with the statutory (employment standards) and common law requirements to provide working notice or severance pay in lieu. Though it may not feel right to

give working notice or pay such an employee a lump sum on his or her way out the door, the law requires employers to do so unless true just cause for summary dismissal exists. Even if the employer does comply with its legal notice or severance pay obligations, that isn’t necessarily the end of the matter. Human rights legislation prohibits employers from refusing to employ (or continue to employ) a person who has been convicted of a criminal or summary offence which is unrelated to the employment. So, going down either a just cause or a not-for-cause termination path against an employee charged or convicted of a crime could result in a human rights complaint of discrimination. That is surely not a result which the employer will have been seeking. The ideal situation for the employer, if it makes a decision to terminate an employment relationship, is to have the employee go away without suing or filing administrative complaints (such as one alleging discrimination). Achieving that result will take patience and some expert advice for the employer to avoid creating legal problems for itself.

was Earl’s West Coast Prawn Salad (strawberries, avocado, quinoa, feta, organic greens, spinach and cilantro, julienne carrots, candied pecans, citrus honey vinaigrette and warm sautéed prawns). I really liked the quinoa which made the entire salad for me. Quinoa is a grain, which requires cooking.

Winery experience that is truly unique
City unveils plans for community park
Young from A19 years until the vineyard matured, Tony supplied Calona Wines with his vineyard product, whilst father Wyn was creating the Okanagan Villa Estate Winery. The apple trees were pulled out and replaced with pinot gris, riesling, gewurtztraminer, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc grapes and before you know it, a new wine industry venture was happening. This boutique estate winery is the fruition of a Lewis family dream and the challenge of the newly emerging Canadian wine industry. The winery now includes a beautiful villa that can be utilized for weddings and special memorable occasions and a Vibrant Vines tasting room. For his part, Tony has created an inventive technique of developing a winery vineyard, a creative mastery of spraying vineyards using golf carts rather than tractors which enhances efficiency and increases productivity on the land. And, he might have developed this first of its kind, wine on tap keg experience in conjunction with The Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel. One visit to the Vibrant Vine wine shop and you will be amazed at the art form presentation by Tony’s brother Phil, who still lives in Boulder, with his art decorating the wine bottle labels, winery umbrellas posters and other promotional efforts. I loved their winery. You’ve got to make a quick trip to Vibrant Vines in East Kelowna on Pooley Road and meet this creative crew. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, consultant and educator and founder, Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

Residents can view the plans for the City of Kelowna’s next community park at an open house set for Wednesday, June 22. The tent will be set up from 4 to 7 p.m. at the future site of Rowcliffe Park at Central Green, on the corner of Richter Street and Rowcliffe Avenue. “The park is extensive and features a large circular open green space that will be the heart of the Central Green development,” said construc-
tion project manager Andrew Gibbs. “The park design stems from extensive consultation with the community and reflects the sustainable principles which are the foundation of this new development.” In total, the two-hectare park includes 14 design features, including pathways, courts, community gardens and an open air stage for outdoor events. The main entrance to the park will be a pub-
lic plaza at the corner of Richter and Rowcliffe. The plaza leads to a heritage walk past the majestic heritage oak tree that has been preserved on the site. A second public plaza located in the northwest corner includes an accessible playground and connects to the residential multi-family neighbourhood located adjacent to Buckland Avenue and Chapman Place. “The community park
is a key feature of the site that will help attract high quality building developers and also help attract residential buyers,” said Derek Edstrom, strategic land development manager. “Our hope is that Central Green will set a new standard for development within the city, showcasing sustainable planning and building practices.” The city hopes to move forward on construction over the next few years.
Park construction costs are estimated at more than $3.7 million and need to be budgeted into longterm capital plans. “We’re watching the market conditions, and when they’re favourable, we’ll be seeking proposals from development companies that can share in the process of building sustainably,” said Edstrom. To find out more about Rowcliffe Park, see kelowna.ca/cityprojects.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen summer in one dish This marks the first day of summer, and the longest day of the year, so a celebration seems in order. For me, seafood is a great way to celebrate anything, and I love a variety of vegetables in whatever dish I’m creating, so there are several in both of the following one-dish meals. One bowl meals seem appropriate for summer eating because it’s so easy to take the bowl out on the patio or deck to enjoy the sunshine while you eat, and everything always tastes better out in the fresh air. They’re also easier when it comes to cleanup and there are so many better and more-fun things to do on long summer evenings than washing dishes. The only downside to the Summer Solstice we celebrate today is that it’s also the beginning of the move to shorter days and more hours of darkness again, but the hours of daylight will still be longer than the hours of darkness up until the Fall Equinox Sept. 23. This is also the time to begin harvesting and drying herbs like thyme, oregano and sage, hopefully before they begin to bloom. Drying those Mediterranean herbs bottles up summer flavours for your enjoyment in the winter months when long, warm, sunny days are but a distant memory. Some herbs, like tarragon and basil are really better preserved in oil or vinegar to keep their flavours fresh in winter, although tarragon fares better dried than basil. Tarragon vinegar is delicious though. I love using fresh herbs in cooking and I always keep some growing in a garden close to the kitchen. If you’d like to explore some more of my recipes, many of them using herbs, pick up a copy of my new book, Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold. In fact, I'll sign it for you at Mosaic Books Saturday, June 25, between 1 and 3 p.m. I look forward to seeing you there.
Chilli Beef with Green Beans & Peppers This is spicy, but not too hot, and with fresh green beans from the garden and sweet peppers, it’s a colourful and tantalizing dish for a quick family meal. There’s no olive oil in this, in case you have an allergy to olive oil. 1 tbsp. (15 ml) minced ginger 1 tbsp. (15 ml) light soy sauce 1 tbsp. (15 ml) cornstarch 1/2 lb. (227 g) lean beef drizzle of grapeseed oil 1 tbsp. (15 ml) minced ginger 1 onion 1/2 lb. (227 g) fresh green beans 1 celery stalk 1 garlic clove 1/2 red pepper 1/2 yellow pepper 1 tbsp. (15 ml) sugar 2 tbsp. (30 ml) soy sauce 1/2 minced chilli pepper 1/2 c. (125 ml) water Slice lean beef such as eye of round steak into thin strips and marinate it in a mixture

Pasta with Red Snapper
of minced fresh ginger, light soy sauce and cornstarch, for a couple of hours or overnight, in the refrigerator. Mince fresh ginger; chop onion; string beans; mince garlic and slice celery and peppers into strips. The chilli pepper should be finely minced. Combine sugar and soy sauce with the chilli pepper in a tiny bowl. Saute the minced ginger and onion in a wok or deep frypan with just a drizzle of oil, on medium-high heat, stir-frying for a few minutes. Add the small whole beans and continue to stir-fry. Add the celery and minced garlic and the pepper strips and stir-fry for a few minutes. Push the vegetables up the side of the wok and add the beef to the centre, stirring and frying until the meat has browned. Add soy sauce mixture and water and combine everything well, stir-frying until the sauce has come to bubbling and thickened. Serves 2-3.
This is delicate, but flavourful and has no olive oil in it, in case you’re allergic to olive oil. It’s not low fat, either, though, but it’s very satisfying. It’s a full meal in a bowl. The fresh, crisp flavours in Mission Hill’s 2010 Five Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc are a great pairing with this, with just a little fresh herb flavour, fruit and citrus to go with the cheese and herbs in this meal. 1/2 lb. (227 g) fettucine noodles 3/4 lb. (340 g) snapper fillet 1 tsp. (5 ml) grated fresh ginger 3 large mushrooms 4 small green onions 1/2 medium zucchini 1 garlic clove 1/3 red pepper 2 tbsp. ( 30 ml) butter 1 c. (250 ml) 10 % cream pinch of nutmeg 1/2 c. (125 ml) grated fresh parmesan 1/3 c. (75 ml) grated Swiss cheese 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh parsley sea salt and fresh-ground pepper 2 tsp. (10 ml) fresh chives
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, cut fish fillets into bitesized chunks and set aside. Grate fresh ginger. Thinly slice mushrooms and green onions and cut zucchini into two-inch matchsticksized strips. Mince garlic and red pepper. Melt butter over medium heat in a deep frypan and add mushrooms and ginger. Saute for a minute, and add zucchini. Turn about for a few seconds and then add fish chunks. Scatter white part of green onions over top, along with red pepper, cover with a lid and leave to steam for a minute or two. Turn everything over, cover again, and let steam for a further minute. Pour cream over it all and add nutmeg, grated fresh parmesan and Swiss cheese, while bringing it to bubbling. Stir gently to combine the cheese with the cream, without breaking up the fish, and add the green bits of the onion. Mince parsley and add, along with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish each plate with minced fresh chives. Serves 2-4.

McBain ‘lived, and breathed lacrosse’ Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The local and national lacrosse communities have lost one of the game’s most passionate, respected and influential advocates. Bill McBain passed away in Kelowna last Friday after a lengthy illness. He was 73. Born in Fergus, Ont. in 1937, McBain was involved in the game his entire life, first as player, then later as a coach, adminstrator, builder and mentor. After retiring to Kelowna in 1989, McBain had a profound effect on the growth and development of lacrosse throughout the region. “Bill loved kids and he thought every one of them should have a lacrosse stick in his hand,” said Corinne Almas, a longtime lacrosse volunteer in Kelowna. “When Bill came here, he gave lacrosse a sense of direction. We were really spin-
ning our wheels, but he came along to and took us to the next level. He had great ideas and great vision and did so much for the game. He showed us how to build lacrosse.” McBain was largely responsible for starting up 22 local clubs in B.C. and was instrumental in the establishment of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League. A former president of the Canadian Lacrosse Association, McBain was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2008. “I consider it a great privilege to be considered and to be inducted,” McBain told the Capital News upon his induction in 2008. McBain ran the B.C. coaching association for many years and, later in his life, served as the chair of coaching for the CLA. He also had a long military career as a technician in the Canadian Navy and was inducted into the Canadian Armed Forces

BILL McBAIN passed away in Kelowna Friday. Sports Hall of Fame. Among his other accomplishments, McBain is a former winner of the Lester B. Pearson Award for his contributions, leadership and development of lacrosse in Canada. McBain mentored dozens of coaches and builders over the years, including Kelowna’s Dan Wray.
Currently the director of the Thompson Okanagan coaching association, Wray said McBain was not only a tremendous ambassador for the sport, but one of the kindest and most genuine people he’s ever known. “Bill was a hunter, a fisherman, and he lived and breathed lacrosse… you can’t get much more Canadiana than that,” said
Wray. “As for Bill the person, he had the biggest heart of anyone I ever knew. He was kindest, most thoughtful man you could meet—like a father to me. “When it came to lacrosse, he was the coach’s coach,” added Wray. “He mentored so many people over the years, his legacy will be felt for a long time.”
Bill McBain is survived by his wife Mary, their children Billy, Cindy, Susan, Brian and Kelly, as well as 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A Celebration of Life ceremony for Bill McBain will be held Wednesday, June 22 at Everdon Rust Funeral Home, 1910 Windsor in Kelowna. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Eight teams competed in the two-day event, including the Peach Tarts, two from Edmonton, Victoria, Red Deer, Calgary, Saskatoon and the Kootenays. Evil from Edmonton defeated the Eves of Destruction from Victoria in the championship game on Sunday afternoon to advance to the Canadian finals. The Okanagan all-stars lost both of their games, but according to Tarts player and tournament organizer Kaz Zvanitajs, it was a valuable learning experience for the young local team. “Our team is only in its second season and we’ve come together very well during that time,” said Zvanitajs. “It was a good experience for the girls, they learned a ton.

Palahniuk second at B.C. seniors, enjoying sport more each year Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
TASHA BUKOVNIK/B.C. GOLF
KELOWNA’S Lynda Palahniuk finished tied for second at the B.C. senior women’s golf championship held in Cranbrook.
While first place is always her preference, Lynda Palahniuk can still take ample satisfaction out of being a runner-up. For the fourth time since 2003, the 59-yearold Kelowna golfer has played the role of bridesmaid at the B.C. Senior Women’s Golf Championship. Last Thursday in Cranbrook, Palahniuk finished in a tie for second with Victoria’s Alison Murdoch, one stroke back of winner Jackie Little of Port Alberni. After heading into the third and final round four shots off the lead, Palahniuk made a charge which
fell just short. “It was really exciting going down the back nine, there were leader boards out on the course, and when I took a peek at 15 I saw I was close,” said Palahniuk, who won the 2002 B.C. seniors, before taking second in 2003, 2008, 2010 and 2011. “I knew I was right there and had a chance. That’s all you can ask for.” With a three-round score of 14 over-par 233 (77-78-78) Palahniuk considered it a generally consistent week of golf with a few mistakes mixed in. “It wasn’t an easy course, I felt I played the hard holes pretty well and let some shots slip a little on the easier ones,”
she said. “All in all, I was happy, I played pretty steady. My gaol was to make the three-player team for nationals and I did that, so I’m happy.” Palahniuk will join Little and Murdoch as team members at the Canadian Senior Women’s Championship Aug. 22 to 25 in Whitevale, Ont. Also on Palahniuk’s agenda this season is the Alberta seniors next month, and the PNGA senior event in Victoria the first week of October. As much as the competitive side of golf continues to push Palahniuk, simple enjoyment of the game is becoming increasingly more important. “If I didn’t have fun, I
wouldn’t do it,” said Palahniuk. “That gets to be more and more the priority as you get older. It’s an opportunity to see a lot of the great gals who are out there playing the game, and seeing people I’ve known all these years. I’m enjoying it as much as I ever have.” Kelowna’s Debbie Cross from Michaelbrook Ranch finished in a tie for eighth at 243 (80-84-79), while Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Melanie Grant was 16th overall at 251 (86-83-82). Rhonda Poullos of Shadow Ridge placed 33rd, Eileen Sallis of KGCC tied for 38th, and Shadow Ridge’s Charlene Crawley was 52nd. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Westside Warriors graduating forward Tyler French will suit up for the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) hockey program in the fall of 2011. French is the 14th player off of this year’s BCHL team roster to commit a college career. A homegrown native from Westside, French scored two goals and added two assists in 13 playoff games with the Warriors this year. He also had 23 points (6 goals, 17 assists) in 52 games during the regular season
There are 918 active rugby players in the Central Okanagan, according to a survey of rugby teams in the region. This represents a 53 per cent increase over the estimated 600 players active in 2010. The first annual Rugby Participation Survey was completed by the Central Okanagan Rugby Enthusiasts, a local sport society dedicated to rugby development. The increase is attributed to several new local rugby programs and an expanded focus on communication regarding rugby-related games and events.

The biggest contributor to the increase in players was the new Elementary Touch Rugby program, which added 181 grade 5 and 6 young people playing the game. Capri Insurance provided ‘a ball for every player’, which really helped to promote boys and girls involvement. Organizer Ken Boe expects the league to have 12 schools involved in the fall of 2011.

Thanks to the work of many rugby enthusiasts, we are off to a good start towards achieving these goals.” In addition to the 181 elementary school players, the survey tallied 209 Grade 8 players, 150 Grade 9/10 players, 198 Grade 11/12 players, and 180 adult players in the Central Okanagan.

The Kelowna Falcons will play the second of a three-game West Coast League series Tuesday at Elks Stadium against the Bend Elks. The first pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. The Falcons and Elks met in the series opener Monday, however a final score wasn’t available at press time. Kelowna finished off a three-game set at home to Cowlitz on Sunday night with a 6-5 victory in 13 in-
nings to avoid being swept by the Black Bears. Jeff Melby drew a bases loaded walk to force in the winning run in the bottom of the 13th. Beau Hanowski had four hits for the Falcons in front of 592 fans at Elks Stadium. Boomer Hermes threw the last three innings for Kelowna to earn the win. The Falcons had a 3-9 WCL regular season record heading into Monday’s action.

It will be very exciting for our community to see the Heat play teams from all of Western Canada’s major universities, including the Thunderbirds from UBC’s Vancouver campus,” says Owram. “We wish our studentathletes, their coaches and our entire Athletics Department the very best as they prepare for an historic first season as members of the Canada West division.” The Heat will host the Thunderbirds in volleyball
on the weekend of Nov. 4 and 5, while the basketball teams play the Thunderbirds for the first time at the War Memorial Gymnasium in Vancouver Jan. 27 and 28, 2012. “The best part about this news is that starting this fall, our basketball and volleyball student athletes can compete against their peers from other universities in western Canada and our fans have the chance to cheer for the Heat in the highest level of amateur sport in Canada,” says Johnson. “I am hopeful that within the next few years we will be in a position to move the rest of our sports into the CIS.” Once the complete schedule is finalized the information will be posted at www.goheat.ca

ou wake up in the morning ready to enjoy a sunny summer day, but as you step out of bed it feels like someone left a few tacks on the ground overnight. Until somewhat recently, many people came to know and love (realistically, truly despise) this condition as plantar fasciitis. Medically speaking, the “itis” suggests inflammation of the plantar fascia on the base of the foot; however, current research is finding that this is not the case. The newly accepted term is plantar fasciosis, identifying a dysfunction of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a band of connective tissue that spans from your heel bone to the base of your toes. This fascia acts as a support for your arch and works as a shock absorber every time you step down on your foot. The pain associated with plantar fasciosis usually develops over time, and is felt in the in-
you put weight back on your feet. Once your foot limbers up after walking around, the pain typically decreases, but it may return at the end of the day or after long periods of standing. Plantar fasciosis occurs when there is abnormal stress on your foot that causes micro tears in the fascia. Normally the body can control and repair these little tears, but in this case it is unable to keep up with the demand. There are several risk factors that can lead to this problem including extreme foot types (both flat feet and high arches), obesity or weight gain, tight calves, and/or an increase in walking or running volume. If you are diagnosed with plantar fasciosis, there are several things that you can do at home to help decrease your foot pain. Rest and take some time off of your feet. The healing process will occur much quicker if you avoid

or significantly reduce any high loading activities. Use a frozen water bottle to ice and roll out the base of your foot for 10 to 15 minutes. Check your shoes to see if you need new ones. If you have started running barefoot or in a minimalist shoe and are experiencing plantar fasciosis, you may want to consider slowing down your transition into this new running style. It is suggested that you SLOWLY integrate your minimalist shoes in with your current shoes and progress through a walk/run program. This will allow the muscles and joints in your feet and legs to adapt. If these methods aren’t successful, a physiotherapist can treat the biomechanical issues leading to your plantar fasciosis and provide you with an appropriate stretching and strengthening program to speed up recovery. You may also benefit from a pair of professionally-made orthotics which can help align the forces on your feet to prevent further irritation of the plantar fascia, and avoid recurrence. Most often, this condition may take a few weeks to a couple of months to recover, but it will get better quicker with a little rest and attention from a trained rehabilitation professional. In the meantime, you can continue with other non-weight bearing activities (ie. swimming or cycling) to keep you moving and ready for the next sunny day.

Treating the forearm weakness caused by tennis elbow T ennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is an overuse injury that affects the area where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony part of the outside elbow. This causes pain in the outside of your elbow, which can also radiate from the outside of the elbow into the forearm and wrist. There can be pain when you extend your wrist and pain during certain activities such as shaking hands, turning a doorknob, or holding certain objects, such as a coffee cup. The condition can also cause forearm weakness. The pain of tennis elbow is similar to golfer’s elbow, but golfer’s elbow occurs on the in-
NEEDLE NOTES
James Kaufman side- rather than on the outside- of the elbow. Tennis elbow is caused by repeated contraction of the forearm muscles that are used to straighten and raise your hand and wrist- such as with the backhand stroke when playing tennis. However, there are many other common causes of tennis elbow, including using plumbing tools, playing other racket sports, painting, raking and weaving. The repeated mo-
tions and stress to the tissue may result in inflammation or a series of tiny tears in the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bone at the outside of your elbow. Generally, rest is the best medicine for tennis elbow. But tennis elbow that has not been allowed to heal properly can lead to chronic pain. Using your arm too strenuously before it has properly healed can cause further damage or prevent proper healing. Analyzing what motions are causing the problem can help you to change your habits to reduce stress on the elbow. Exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the forearm can also help recovery and prevent re-injury.
Acupuncture can be a great option for dealing with tennis elbow and promoting proper healing. In Chinese medicine, almost every musculoskeletal disorder has some relevant underlying imbalance or contributing lifestyle factor. Understanding a person’s general health gives an acupuncturist insight into the internal imbalances that can contribute to injury. Lifestyle can play a role, whether it be our occupation, the exercise or sports we choose, or our nutrition and diet. Chinese medicine also considers the role of emotion and thought in health, as they can be either the cause or the symptom of an internal balance. With tennis elbow,

These causes can be external (such as exposure to the elements or an external trauma or blow to the area) or internal (caused by an imbalance in the body’s normal functioning due to our genetics or our lifestyle). By also treating these underlying factors, we are actually strengthening the injured area and improving health, with the goal of preventing future reoccurrence. In this way, acupuncture not only relieves
symptoms, but goes further to address the heart of the problem, unlike other treatments such as medications, which serve only to relieve symptoms. Acupuncture shows us that the pain of tennis elbow doesn’t have to keep you from enjoying your favorite activities.

Avoiding the cutting edge of spear grass Laundry line prize saves on energy S ‘‘ pear grass is a type of a wild grass with barbed seed heads. Besides carrying the seeds, spear grass awns are very sharp and can bear an hazard to your pet. Spear grass is very common in our area, and can be found everywhere including in your own yard. Spear grass is most harmful for dogs once it has become dried out and more easily falls from the stalks. It is most often a problem from late spring through the fall. The shape of the grass awns make them very likely to penetrate into the body. Because of the shape of the grass, it can’t back out the way it came in and so can only move forward. The most common areas in the body prone to spear grass invasion are between the toes and in the ear canal. But in my veterinary
FURRY FRIENDS
Dr. Moshe Oz career, I’ve removed spear grass from various places in the body, including the nose, eyes and genitals. The awn burrows into the tissue and acts as a foreign body. The body recognizes the foreign body and develops an inflammatory reaction around it. The area becomes swollen, red and very painful. If left untreated an abscess can be formed. An abscess is a pocket of pus, that keeps growing until it becomes very big. The tension might lead to the burst of the abscess and to a large open wound. When spear grass penetrates the ear canal, the consequences can be severe.
There is a risk that the awn will perforate the ear drum, potentially leading to permanent complications in the ear. The symptoms of spear grass penetration are acute pain, swelling and redness. If found between the toes the pet might lame on the leg and will lick the paw constantly. Spear grass in the ear canal is usually manifested by a sudden onset of head shaking, scratching the ear, restlessness and yelping. Having symptoms in only one ear is very suspicious for possible spear grass presence. If you recognize any of these symptoms take your pet to see your vet. The earlier the process is treated the easier it is to prevent complications. Very frequently, spear grass removal requires some sort of sedation or general anesthesia. The spear grass awn needs to be taken out or in case of an abscess

formed, the veterinarian might place a drain for a few days. The veterinarian is also very likely to recommend topical or systemic course of antibiotics and pain medication. Withholding the removal of the awn may complicate the condition. Sometimes the awn penetrates so deep that it is hard or even impossible to locate and remove it. You can try to prevent spear grass penetration by a few means. First, being aware of the risk is very important. Make sure your yard is spear grass free. If your pet’s paws are
very hairy, shave the area between the tows to reduce the chances of the grass entrapment and better visualization of the area. After walks outside, inspect your dog’s body, especially the ears and paws, to remove any foreign body immediately. Spring and summer are wonderful times for pets and their owners to be outside enjoying the sites and sounds. You can make sure that all this fun activity remains a happy memory by being aware of the risk of spear grass and early treatment if needed. Please ask your veterinarian about more information on spear grass and how to keep your fury friend safe in its season.

nfortunately, fraud will be with us forever. Even more unfortunate, fraud is usually aimed at our most vulnerable people, which include seniors. However, the Kelowna RCMP, led by the efforts of Cst. Steve Holmes, media relations officer, and Cst. Ann Donnelly, fraud investigator, have partnered with my consulting firm to create a campaign to make seniors and their families aware of how to watch for fraud. The campaign will allow seniors and their families to read about the various frauds that are always making the rounds. In addition, it will make people alert to new frauds that are coming our way. My columns will include details about fraud schemes that Cst. Holmes and Cst. Donnelly need the public to know about. As part of the campaign, the constables and I will be speaking to groups who want to learn more about fraud, in particular fraud aimed at seniors.

Anyone who has a connection to seniors or who wants to be aware of what the fraudsters are up to would benefit from this information. The presentations will include an overview of various fraud schemes, how to identify them, what to do about it and how to notify the police. Part of the presentation will be to help people learn how to realize that a fraud has occurred and for the people to not feel that it was their fault. It is imperative to immediately let others know about the fraud.

their parents recognize if they might be involved in a fraud scheme and how to inform their families to watch out for it. Often, after people realize that they have been defrauded, they are too embarrassed to admit it. This is exactly what the fraudsters want. The longer the fraud goes without detection, then additional people can be scammed. The fraud is done quickly before the victim has time to think about it or discuss it with someone else. For the publics’ safety they have to be familiar with how fraud works. The schemes are always clever and unique and can easily draw in a victim. Just remember the acronym SCAM stands for: S is for Safe. If you give in to one of these frauds, would you be worse off for having done it? C is for Credible. Does the person, who is
trying to convince you, have any credibility that can be verified? A is for Aggressive. Is the scammer using an aggressive tactic, or language, that requires an immediate or imperative response? M is for Motive. Is their motive to deprive you of money or assets (banking information), with a promise of reward? Keep your money and credit safe from thieves. ‘Do not tell them what they want to hear.

WAGNER, DONALD (DON) FRANK Passed away peacefully in his sleep June 15, 2011 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. He was 73 years old. He is pre-deceased by his wife Sandy and survived by his two sons, Kurt and Keith, and four grandchildren, Jackson, Daelyn, Nia, and Charlie. He came from a large family of seven siblings and is survived by four. Don was a respected member of the R.C.M.P. for his whole career and retired as a Corporal in Kelowna. He proudly talked about a time when he stood guard outside the hotel room of Pierre Trudeau. He made many lifelong friends at the various detachments he worked and places he lived over the years. He met his wife Sandy at his first posting in Fort St. John, before transferring to North Vancouver, Vancouver, Fraser Lake, Prince George, and eventually Kelowna. Don will be remembered foremost as an outstanding father. He loved nothing better than to spend time with his family and friends. Countless days were spent skiing, fishing and riding motorbikes. He was always there to throw the ball, go for a swim, play golf or take the kids to the park. He was an avid hunter and fly fisherman, and loved to garden after his retirement. Don always had a dog and spent as much time with these companions as with anybody else. He seemed to be most at home, puttering around at his cabin and loved to spend as much time at the lake as he could. He will be dearly missed.As per Don’s wishes, there will be no Memorial Service. His ashes will join his wife at the solitude of their cabin in Loon Lake. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC, 865 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 6P6.

Due to the breeds intelligence and activeness they must be exercised regularly and kept interested. They are affectionate and playful, but do need lots of stimulation through affection, companionship and outings. Left to their own devices, these dogs will become bored and develop undesirable behaviour.

ADULT COONHOUND X SPAYED FEMALE
Tango and Jypsy came in together. They are both easy going and people-friendly. Because of their incredible sense of smell, they are easily distracted and require lots of patient handling and encouragement. They are happy couch potatoes when given plenty of exercise and truly enjoy the company of a human family. This breed does not start slowing down until after 10 years old, so are still very active and fun loving. Please be advised they do drool and slobber, and can be quite vocal, barking and howling often. They will both need homes with securely fenced yards. If you have a proper environment for either of these canines please come down and meet them.

Help Your Local Heroes AND WIN BIG Every day throughout British Columbia, thousands of heroes risk their lives to help others. Fire fighter Terry Hughes is one of those heroes – whose job it is to keep others safe, even if it means risking his own safety. He is also a Regional Director of the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund, where he often meets heroes of another kind – burn survivors. With the loyal support of more than 3,800 fire fighters across the province who volunteer their time – not to mention generous members of the public who donate – the Burn Fund offers a variety of programs to support survivors of all ages. "With our annual summer Burn Camp for kids, we give children survivors a chance to be among their peers and really just enjoy the experience of camp," Hughes said, noting the Burn Fund's reach extends throughout B.C. and the Yukon. "Through the various programs run by the Burn Fund, we give burn survivors the ability to gain confidence and move forward through life." As one of the largest fundraisers for the Burn Fund (www.burnfund.org), Hughes said the money raised by the Hometown Heroes Lottery provides a large and important boost to the fund's programs.
