FORMER OKANAGAN Sun head coach Lawrence Nagy is one of five people soon to be in the Central Okanagan Sports Hall Of Fame.
ANY IMMEDIATE hope of seeing a new health centre for Westside residents becoming a funding priority appears to have been dashed by Interior Health officials.

Neis wants to be mayor again Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

West Kelowna’s first mayor wants her old job back. Rosalind Neis, who opted to run as a councillor in the last municipal election and topped the polls, has announced she will challenge incumbent Doug Findlater for the mayor’s job in November. Findlater has already said he will seek a second term. “Doug has done a great job but we have different styles,” said Neis, who has often found herself lacking the support of her council colleagues when trying to propose motions at council meetings. Despite that, Findlater has said in the past he feels the rest of council works well with Neis, who came out of nowhere to win the first West Kelowna mayoral race in Rosalind Neis 2007. She served a special one-year term until West Kelowna joined the regular, three-year municipal election cycle the following year. In 2008 she opted to seek a council seat instead of re-election as mayor saying she wanted to devote more time to her family and her job. At the time of the first election, Neis ran on a “disincorporation” platform, but backed away from that position after she was elected. She said despite her personal opinion, residents of West Kelowna—or Westside as it was known then— voted for incorporation and voted for her to be mayor of the new municipality. She has not publicly advocated for West Kelowna to join Kelowna since. Findlater won a council seat in that first election, and before that served as chairman of the committee that looked at governance options for the Westside. He was elected, mayor in 2008. Neis said she still considers West Kelowna to be a bedroom community of Kelowna, one that needs to look at providing services ahead of facilities for its residents.

Mosquitos love the rising lake waters Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Better get used to the annoying buzz of the mosquito. Like the insect itself, its eggs are particularly stub-
born, remaining viable for years after they were laid, until the spot they’re on is flooded again, and provides the habitat they require to reach the next stage of life. So, with this year’s
flooding all around the edge of Okanagan Lake, land that hasn’t had water on it for years is suddenly ideal mosquito habitat and even old eggs are coming to life. Kevin Touchet, man-
ager, environmental health with Interior Health, warns it could be a nasty mosquito year, particularly for the aedes or floodwater mosquito. Although some say their eggs can hatch 20

NEWS W TAVARES ASSAULT
Mantler so far to plead not guilty to one charge Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS
RESPONDING KELOWNA RCMP gathered on Graham Road on Tuesday afternoon to devise a search strategy to find a missing three-year-old girl. The youngster went missing from her house but was ultimately found sleeping underneath the covers of her grandmother’s bed.
W MISSING TODDLER
Puzzling but happy conclusion to search for missing 3-year-old Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Barbara Stenson was beside herself for three frightful hours as police and neighbours searched tirelessly for her missing toddler. But when Shiah, 3, was found hidden in her home, under the blankets of her grandmother’s bed, those fears gave way to a flood of relief and joy. “I apologize immensely but I also thank you so much,” she told a gathering after Shiah was located by Const. Trish Waugh, who spotted the girl’s hand peeking out from the covers on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. “It’s the worst (thing that can happen to a parent.) I feel like I should buy everyone a lobster dinner…I feel foolish, but I don’t feel that foolish; I’m just glad she’s safe.” Barbara called police
NG I CH I R EN
Const. Trish Waugh sometime after noon that day, when she couldn’t find her daughter. The family had only moved to the home a few weeks earlier, and when Barbara saw the lock to the side door was unlatched, she assumed her daughter had gotten loose into a neighbourhood she was unfamiliar with. That’s when she called police, who showed up in large force. Const. Steve Holmes said Kelowna RCMP probably deployed eight
to nine officers who were on watch duty, three through the air in the police helicopter, two police dogs, search and rescue crews, volunteer policing officers, community policing officers, bylaw officers and the bike squad. There were probably 20-plus people on official duty, he surmised, but the area was also flooded with anxious neighbours who were focused on a happy ending. No Amber Alert was called when the girl went missing, because that requires knowledge or evidence of an abduction, among other things. While the exhaustive nature of the search may seem unusual given the child was found in her own home, Holmes said the Stensons took the right course of action. “We would rather go to 100 of these than have a tragedy occur because
someone didn’t call in time,” he said. “You can’t put a dollar sign on a child, or anyone’s, life.” And, said Holmes, the fact the child was obscured from an initial RCMP search of the house, with being found in the confines of her own home is actually far from unusual. “It’s possible to overlook a small child in a bed,” he said. “I once found a child asleep under a beanbag chair. After searching the house once or twice. “I walked by a beanbag chair, and lifted it, and (the boy) was under it.” There have even been cases where little ones have been found under piles of laundry, under beds and furniture, he added. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com
The Kelowna Mountie who was dragged into the national spotlight for alleged police brutality intends to fight at least one of the assault charges brought against him. Defence attorney Neville McDougall appeared in court Tuesday afternoon to enter a plea of not guilty relating to Const. Geoff Mantler’s alleged Aug. 30, 2010, assault of Manjeet Singh Bhatti. It should officially be entered into record during an arraignment hearing scheduled for July 12. What Mantler will plead that same day for the assault charge related to allegedly kicking Buddy Tavares in the head while he was submitting to arrest last January, how-
Geoff Mantler ever, remains to be seen. McDougall, said he’s yet to wade through the 2,000 page disclosure, let alone the audio and video transcript associated with the file. “The Tavares disclosure is extensive,” he told the court. Should that material lead to Mantler pleading not guilty, a trial would be triggered and McDougall said that it’s bound to be a “multi-day” affair.
It’s also bound to be the subject of intense interest. Mantler’s case captured the attention of the nation after video footage showed the police officer kicking a prone Tavares in the head during a roadside arrest. A charge against Tavares was eventually dropped, but Mantler continued to get more deeply entrenched in the legal system as more complaints of misconduct came to the fore. Only two complaints amounted to legal action but the officer, who has been with the RCMP three years, was suspended from duty shortly after footage was released. He was subject to an internal investigation and eventually had his wage suspended.
Sculpture still pursued Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
West Kelowna’s chief financial officer says his municipality plans to press ahead with its plans for a donated bronze sculpture now that Kelowna has opted out of the running for it. Jim Zaffino said he was surprised to learn the Heron’s landing sculpture by local artist Jock Hildebrand had also been offered to Kelowna but that will not stop West Kelowna from proceeding with its plans to install it at a new children’s spray park in Westbank. West Kelowna is currently having the artwork appraised—the artist says it is worth between $175,000 to $200,000— and the municipality has budgeted $25,000 to have it installed. Kelowna council balked at an estimated cost of $50,000 install it in its city, a figure similar to the original cost estimated by West Kelowna. But Zaffino said that cost was lowered because it will be installed at the spray park when it is built and the cost does not include lighting. Hildebrand apparently offered the
sculpture to several municipalities after it was commissioned for a downtown Kelowna condominium complex but rejected. Zaffino said it appears it was a case of “first-come, first-served.” He said he now believes there were other communities in the running but he did not know which ones or how many. When West Kelowna council approved the art donation back in May, the report that went to it did not mention it had been offered to any other municipalities. After West Kelowna council instructed its staff to proceed with the art work project, Kelowna council rejected the same offer based on the cost of installation. The work, called Heron’s Landing, features a large bronze heron’s head on a 9.5 metre pole. The sculpture weighs 680 kilograms. Zaffino said all that remains for West Kelowna to get the sculpture is for the appraisal to be completed so the municipality can issue a tax receipt to Hildebrand and to have the sculpture shipped from Calgary where is currently stored. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Deer attacks becoming more common STAFF REPORTER
Be warned: Deer are becoming more aggressive. The warning is aimed particularly at people walking their dogs, as it seems doe deer with fawns tend to view dogs as threatening their young, and humans who get in the way can suffer a severe beating. That’s what happened to a Kimberly woman this week, right on her own driveway, as she took her two pugs for a walk, on the leash.
Conservation officer Sgt. Joe Caravetta, of the East Kootenay region, says the woman lives in a residential area of the community and there’s nothing she should have done differently to prevent her injuries. Two mule deer does approached her and she said she felt threatened for her dogs, so she huddled over them to protect them. Instead, the deer began using their sharp hooves to kick and beat her. A neighbour took a snow shovel to the deer, but failed to get them to leave, so police were
called and when one of the does continued to be very aggressive upon their arrival, she was shot. “Perhaps they perceived the dogs to be threats to their fawns,” speculated Caravetta. “It was just an unfortunate situation all around. “We were taught to watch out for bears, but we tend to think of Bambi when we see deer. We don’t expect that kind of behaviour from timid deer.” In his 23 years as a CO, Caravetta says he has never seen such a violent incident of deer behav-

Teachers in the Central Okanagan are expected to vote this weekend on whether to take job action come September if an employment agreement cannot be struck with the province. The teachers’ current employment contract ends June 30 and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has indicated its members would start with low-level job action when classes resume for the 201112 school year, refusing to undertake certain administrative functions and attend meetings.

vent any incidents, but just in case, he said it might be wise to carry a big stick with which to defend yourself. Kelowna conservation officer Terry Myroniuk said we haven’t had as many or as serious incidents here, but there have been some in the Lakeshore Road area in the Mission, where a dog was attacked by an aggressive deer. He feels dogs may be the targets because they resemble coyotes, a natural predator of deer. Coyote populations are high, so does may find they have to defend their fawns more often, he speculated, or they may have been chased by dogs in the past. “We’re not used to viewing deer as anything but timid. However, when they have babies to defend, it’s a different story,” said Myroniuk. Caravetta noted we’ve

iour, but he has seen an escalation in aggression from deer in recent years. That’s echoed by the environment ministry’s provincial wildlife conflict prevention coordinator, Mike Badry, who says there are certainly more urban deer conflicts, perhaps as a response by the deer to dogs which chase them. “Dogs are a real trigger for aggressive behaviour, particularly from defensive does with fawns. They’ve learned they can dominate dogs in urban situations, and if people get in the way, they can be hurt,” he commented. He warned people with dogs that they should be aware they can be viewed as threatening to a doe, so they should take a wide berth around them and make themselves appear to be non-threatening.

Alice Rees tral Okanagan Teachers’ Association president Alice Rees, says the important thing the union wants parents to know is that they are fighting for teachers’ rights to negotiate the kinds and amount of support kids receive in the classroom. “The commitment to the parents is that the students are still our first responsibility,” she said.

On the heels of a Supreme Court decision this spring which found the government’s move to remove negotiations over class size and composition from the teachers’ collective agreement in 2004 was unconstitutional, Rees said teachers’ primary concern is ensuring the school system is compensated for the loss of supports. The people who have suffered the most are the students who need help and extra support, she said, noting “teachers are really angry” at the way funding claw-backs have affected kids. The government, meanwhile, maintains funding is at an all-time high and that the Supreme Court found the processes in Bills 27 and 28 to be unconstitutional, not the concept of removing class size and composition issues from the list of issues which could be negotiated in the employment contract. The government has indicated it will pursue an agenda to keep class size, class composition, nonenrolling staffing ratios, and hours of work in relation to school calendars out of the teachers’ collective agreement, according
to a bulletin put out on the B.C. Public Employers’ Association web site, the body tasked with provincial-level bargaining for the teachers. The teachers’ collective agreement is negotiated on both a local and provincial level with matters pertaining to money handled provincially and matters pertaining to local communication handled by individual school districts—although this too is currently a dickering point. The vote to be held this weekend is governed by the Labour Relations Code and will see teachers vote on whether or not to use strike action in a closed ballot at local schools. The move marks more of a first step than anything as the union would still need to provide 72hour strike notice and has yet to reach a point where the threat would be levied given the early stage of the negotiations which began this spring. “The vote now is to tell everyone we’re really serious,” said Rees, noting the teachers’ want what they contend they paid for in salary compromises— supports for students. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

CHEF WILLI FRANZ, currently working for the Grapevine Restaurant at the Gray Monk Estate Winery, has been named Chef of theYear by the Canadian Culinary Federation.
W NATIONAL AWARD
Local chef honoured by his peers Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
A local chef has been judged by his peers to be tops in Canada—the first time in 46 years the honour has come to the Okanagan. Chef Willi Franz has dished up gourmet creations in Kelowna and now in Lake Country for more than 30 years, from the Williams Inn, to his current post at the Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Estate Winery. Last week, his fellow members of the Canadian Culinary Federation presented him with the Chef
of the Year award at the federation’s annual conference in Vancouver. The trophy is an art glass creation from Winfield. Franz was named chef of the year by the Okanagan Chefs’ Association in 2010 and Western regional chef of the year for 2011. Those regional selections were in the running for the national award, which was voted on by the 26 regional presidents. He is passionate about preparing delicious dishes using fresh, local ingredients in season, and he feels strongly about the importance of nurtur-
ing the next generation of chefs, and organized the Junior Chefs’ Competition at Okanagan College in 2010, as part of the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival. “I want to pass on the passion,” he admits. He has also led in other community efforts, including as a founding member of the international gastronomic association, Chaine des Rotisseurs in the Okanagan; and in helping to organize events at the Kelowna Gospel Mission feeding 200 patrons. Franz has found a local farmer, Lake Country Culinary Gardens,

Although they have a good return of staff each season, Franz says there are also some new young chefs every year, “and they get me excited with their new outlook on things,” he comments.

Post-riot ugliness moves online
O
fficially, the Vancouver police department says they had last Wednesday’s Stanley Cup riot under control by 11:45 p.m. But the thuggery that smashed and burned its way through the city’s downtown continues—it’s moved online. There’s no doubt the Internet played a role in the mayhem. There have been reports of Twitter postings and text messages being exchanged Wednesday afternoon, long before the puck dropped to begin
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, that trouble was brewing. And when it did get started, it seemed everyone wanted to capture a moment to post on their blog or Facebook page. Young people posed and smiled in front of burning cars and smashed storefronts. In the hours and days after order was restored, the fallout from the riot moved into the virtual world. Some of it has been good; volunteers were organized via social media for a morning-after
clean up, individual acts of heroism were highlighted and lauded, an international sensation was created over a photo of a couple exchanging a kiss amidst the mayhem. But much has been as hateful as the riot itself. The very same mob mentality that rampaged through Vancouver’s streets has now infected its online afterlife. Some people who’ve had their photos posted on websites seeking to identify the riot’s troublemakers have been harassed, their families threatened.
There’s no doubt the people who participated in the violence and mayhem should be held accountable. Many of them are now learning valuable lessons about the consequences of their behaviour that night and the fragility of online anonymity. But virtual vigilantism only perpetuates the ugliness that fuelled the riot, and further blackens the city’s already charred reputation. Leave it to police and legal authorities to investigate what happened that night and prosecute who was responsible.

Taking a step back from enduring the misery of being sick
T
here is a reason why normally healthy people get sick or get injured, or so I would like to believe. My theory is that when those ills befall us, it gives us a reinvigorated appreciation for having the good fortune to be relatively healthy, and perhaps a little more empathy for those who live with faculty impairments on a daily basis. I was thinking of that again this week while battling a throat virus, passed on to me courtesy of a virus germ carrier in my home—otherwise known as my son—that took away my voice. Working on a newspaper without a voice is not an ideal situation.
People call and leave messages that you can’t reply to. Any authority you might want to throw around as an editor gets lost when everything you say has to be whispered. Your co-workers can enjoy asking you meaningless questions knowing you will be forced to try and answer in your best Italian mafioso vocal impersonation. And, as the viral infection starts to break up, the gagging sensation combined with the tears streaming out of your eyes is always a joy to experience.
But from another perspective other than my own selfish needs, I have been given a small reminder of what my cousin had to endure in the Barry final years of her life Gerding while suffering from ALS, more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease. In her final years, she couldn’t talk, having to rely on a computer to participate in any kind of conversation, even though her mind was perfectly healthy and probably full of ideas and thoughts she would love to have been able to enunciate.
EDITOR’S NOTE
The appreciation for this being sick theory of mine hit home in another way at the press conference held Wednesday morning to announce the third annual Bats For A Case softball challenge fundraiser for B.C. Children’s Hospital (see story B7). Anyone who’s ever had their child treated at that hospital can understand what is at stake. I’m one of those people. Our daughter was born premature, and had to be airlifted with her mom to children’s hospital where she spent the first four weeks of her life living in an incubator for infants, a controlled setting that is intended to allow a baby to finish its gestation period before being exposed to the outside environment.
During that period she suffered a setback, an infection that seemed initially like it could take her life. The hospital doctors and nurses prevented that from happening, but just being there also opened our eyes to the many sick children who are sent to B.C Children’s in dire health straits. So you be thankful for what you have, and deal with the misery of your minor aches, pains and cold/flu discomforts that come along. There is a light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to. There are always people worse off than you, who aren’t able to look forward to the time when they will be better. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

A Gift in Memory Some soil good for apples, some for grapes Makes a Difference To the editor: Re: Fruit Growers Appeal For Publics’ Support, June 15 Capital News. Let them eat grapes? Over the years I have been told we should be growing ginseng, llamas, echinacea, ostriches and, yes, also grapes. Most of the people who got into these things are long since broke because they were jumping on trends which is very different from finding a profitable niche. Grapes may not be a trend, but they are trendy and a prestige investment much like a hockey team; vineyards must compete with other vineyards that are prepared to lose a lot of money and they pay more for just about everything. The future of apples is dark; there is a changing scale of economy and the consolida-
tion for retail outlets has left producers powerless. But the idea that apple growers should plant grapes is insulting to the many growers who are going bankrupt. Some of these people work over 60 hours a week, have not paid themselves in years, have cashed in their RRSPs to pay their employees, and whose only big mistake was to be caught out by international powers beyond their control, and by the indifference of their own government. Internationally grapes are doing worse than apples, yet locally prices for grapes are still reasonable because government protects the grape market by taxing foreign wines at a higher rate. Grapes are clearly privileged by local politicians, meanwhile this year the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is opening an office in China to facilitate the importation of
large volumes of cheap apples—the Canadian government is kicking apple growers when they are down. To simplify the issue and say apple growers should just plant grapes is yuppy nonsense. Furthermore, there is good land for tree fruits, good land for grapes, and good land for horses and subdivisions. To maximize our local economic health, these areas should be preserved for appropriate uses by the ALR. If land is not separated this way the future of tree fruits may be over, not because we make more money in tree fruits, but because there will always be people who want a vineyard regardless of the cost, and they are driving up the cost of land for everybody.

Too much info to digest in an open house To the editor: Maybe for a change, your readers would be interested in being informed of what an old-timer thinks? If not, this is the place to stop reading. About the recent open house with regards to the West Kelowna Waterfront Plan, etc. It was well attended even though it would be only a very tiny percentage of area residents that looked at the diagrams displayed. Also, to be able to concentrate, read, study and comprehend the graphs in such a busy atmosphere, is pretty much impossible and, it is my belief that, most visitors will leave that “open” house not knowing much more than when they came in. In talking about the Waterfront Plan—predominantly the Gellatly Bay area—this is our second try at it. This one, supposedly, costs $175,000. Add to it the cost of the, in total, planned three open houses, staff preparation and staff attendance time and we would probably be getting close to doubling that cost. Many good ideas are being brought forth on this, so far, preliminary plan and I agree with most of them. However, after all the time and money spent at it, what will we have accomplished? Not a single thing.
The plan represents a vision for the next 50 years. In other words, it can change a dozen times yet. And yes, sorry, I’ll have to bring up the following comparison: Some 25 years ago the Gellatly Bay Aquatic Park Society (now the Trails and Parks Society) began the development of our lake front. We made plans, explained them to our area residents—mainly at neighborhood association public meetings and also to our local service clubs. We explained them at the regional district office and all the necessary approvals were obtained. The Regional District Parks Department were of tremendous help to us in every way. So, what did we do and what did we accomplish? In less than 10 years we built Rotary Park, Marina Park, Powers Point Park, Willows Beach Point, Rotary Beach, our lakeshore walkway and widened the shoulder of Gellatly Road in many places. All of it through hard work, a little imagination plus some common sense, and I have never heard a single complaint about it. Now, does that mean we should just leave everything as it is now? No, definitely not. I am totally in favor of improvements that can be made, provided, they make sense.
We have to compliment our District of West Kelowna Public Works Department. They have (without much preliminary fuss) done a great job with Powers Point Park. The same at Rotary Trails, with its new bridge and the viewing bridge further upstream. Also, that new stretch of road, from Powers Creek south—well done. To extend that road improvement to the north, of course, is somewhat more tricky since no one wants to see our beautiful Katsura trees pulled out and destroyed. But, I understand, a new and revised plan is being worked at—good. Very good work is done with the always needed, year-around maintenance plus, no doubt, good work also on other projects in our district—projects that I don’t know about. So, my conclusion: Our council is a good council with good common sense. Let us handle everything the way it has been done with Powers Point Park, etc. More controversial or difficult decisions should be brought to a public, open meeting for residents’ input. Cut out these “open” houses. It will save us all a great deal of money and we will all be more satisfied and happy. John Andersen, West Kelowna
HST should promote jobs for our own unemployed To the editor: A major corporation is in the process of developing a coal mine in Northeast B.C. with a starting workforce of 95 Chinese miners. These miners are being trained in China by Canadian instructors, in order to meet
the B.C. standards for underground mining and to learn our language and customs. With our unemployment rate over eight per cent and rising I’m sure there are many miners with skills and qualifications in our country that
would fill these positions and many more unemployed that would be willing to learn these skills if given the opportunity. Why are we not training people here? Is this an example of how HST works in creating jobs for the people of
HST: Dog’s in control of the leash To the editor: First, governments do not always tell the truth. Second, if the provincial government can take a two per cent hit on its share of the HST to bribe us into keeping the new tax, why couldn’t they have promised to reduce the PST by two per cent prior to the last election? Third, the Liberals
have promised to reduce the HST to 10 per cent in two phases. But there is no guarantee that the HST will stay at 10 per cent after 2014. As a matter of information, the Value Added Tax in Europe averages 21.5 per cent so you can expect an accelerating increase in the HST after 2014 to “catch up” with the increased finan-
cial burden on the government. And lastly, allowing the feds to have more control over provincial revenues is like a dog yanking on a leash. The more the dog keeps pulling, the more leash you keep giving until you eventually have lost all control. Grant Baudais, Kelowna
B.C.? We better wake up before it’s too late. How many foreigners are we bringing in for jobs that can be and should be filled by Canadians? Temporary foreign
workers usually send most of their earnings back to their homeland, so this isn’t of much help to our economy. Vi Chwartacki, Glowing Website Guest

The new OCP is endorsed by West Kelowna council ASSISTANT EDITOR
After months of discussion, West Kelowna council has given initial approval to the municipality’s new official community plan. But the talking about the OCP may not be over yet. Mayor Doug Findlater said the plan may have to become the subject of a second public hearing, depending on the outcome of discussions over concerns expressed by the development community. “I’m not opposed to going back to public hearing with this,” said Findlater, as he closed the public hearing Tuesday night. At the hearing, Urban Development Institute representative Rick Miller expressed concerns about several aspects of the plan, including requirements for land to be set aside for park and open space in the municipality. Others talk-
ed about concerns over aspects of land designation in the plan. Findlater said council would look at those issues before second reading of the bylaw which would bring the plan into force, and decide if it needs to hold a second hearing. Under B.C. law, once
a council closes a public hearing it cannot accept any new information when considering a bylaw or a development project. To do so it requires a new public hearing to be advertised and held. Less than 20 people showed up for the public hearing Tuesday night, a
much smaller crowd than the municipality had prepared for. It even scheduled a possible second night for submissions but the meeting ended after only an hour. Some in the audience, however, were upset they did not have ample opportunity to review
cussed for several months as staff have worked on it, public discussions have been held and public comment has been collected. Prior to the meeting, Findlater even said he did not anticipate a large crowd because he felt the public had already weighed in on it.

Domain name mix-up cuts off Club Penguin
Kelowna’s most lauded business success story was briefly felled by a glitch. Club Penguin, owned by Disney Online Studios, went offline Monday after someone failed to renew the domain name. “Club Penguin experienced a global service disruption that resulted in players around the world being unable to access the site,” a company spokeswoman told the Capital News. “Our technical team worked hard to address the issue and the site is now fully functional for most of our players.” It’s been estimated that Club Penguin’s 12 million players were unable to use the gaming site for around six to seven hours. The Internet company was sold to the Walt Disney Corp. for $350 million in 2007.

The Interior Heart and Surgical Centre Project reached a critical milestone today with the announcement of the three proponents shortlisted following the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to design, build, finance and maintain the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building. Six teams responded to the RFQ. Following evaluation, three teams were shortlisted: Alliance Health Group, Jade Health and Plenary Health. The IHSC Building will be a state-of-the-art facility designed to accommodate cardiac and in-patient surgical suites, support space and a new medical device reprocessing department. The facility will also be designed to allow for future expansion. The IHSC building is part of the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre Project, which includes the East Pandosy Clinical Support Building as well as renovations and fitouts of existing buildings at Kelowna General Hospital. The total value of the IHSC project is $448 million, with $357 million from the province and $91 million from the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District. The IHSC Building will be constructed at the corner of Pandosy and Rose. The existing Pandosy building will be torn down to make way for the new IHSC building. Construction of the IHSC building will begin in the summer of 2012 and will be undertaken as a public private partnership. The IHSC building is scheduled to open in 2016, with the final phase of the IHSC Project to be completed by 2017. The final capital cost of the IHSC project will be confirmed once the procurement process is complete and a contract is signed with the successful proponent. All health services will be funded by the public sector through Interior Health, in keeping with the Canada Health Act.

NEWS W GHASTLY DECISION
Cedar Avenue move par for the course come election season
E
very so often one has to smile at the simple irony a day can bring. Today, for example, I got to interview a paranormal investigator on the heels of one of the most abnormal political decisions one has seen at Kelowna City Hall. As Benjamin Radford described how he tracks down the truth behind ghosts and crop circle stories, I have to admit my mind jogged to Monday’s decision to scuttle the linear park plans for the South Pandosy area.
WORDSMITH
Jennifer Smith Between the bizarre save-the-park protests for an area never zoned for parkland to the weird attack of the (almost) killer protest sign which took aim at lobbyist Michael Neill’s head when it fell from a crane where fellow protesters had placed
it, this story has garnered almost as much attention as an Ogopogo sighting in tourist season. And similar to any good ghost story, the facts of this particular case were always a bit hazy.
A RECAP
The whole thing started when city planners presented a scheme to build a small beach-front boardwalk at the base of Cedar Avenue on a plot of city-owned land that had been zoned for commercial use. There was a long-
lost comment, from the 1980s, that the property might one day be used for parkland, but the paper trail went cold. The end result was that the land was zoned for commercial use in 2004 and this latest round of talks was to rezone to include some residential uses so a mixed-use development could one day be put on the site. To build a nice neighbourhood, a boardwalk would also be placed along the waterfront and the shoreline restored with a riparian area and a
park node.
HOW THIS WAS INTERPRETED ?
By the time this churned through the development…er, I mean neighbourhood lobby, the average citizen in the area seemed to believe the plot of land was zoned for parkland, intended to be a grassy park, and that the city was dumping a huge building on what might have been a great place for swimmers/dog walkers, etc. Not to mention the
fact the sewers dump out a stone’s throw away and the city wasn’t about to set aside a multi-million dollar waterfront property for dogs—that’s another ongoing battle. So things spun out of control and eventually this pro-park lobby, led by a combo of vocal developers and development critics with a general interest in keeping the waterfront free of view-blocking buildings who came up with an anonymous donor who was apparently willing to pay to turn the entire site into a simple, traditional park—with a donation of $2.3 million. A phone call was made to city hall by someone inquiring about making such a donation and—in a rather understandable mistake as multi-millionaires with an unusual interest in deadends like Cedar Avenue don’t float by everyday— the city clerk’s office assumed the two entities were one and the same. The long and short it was they weren’t and neither donor has ever materialized with the money, although the political process was very effectively stalled until closer to election season. Now, whether or not the lobby group’s donor ever existed seems to be the question of the hour,
unfortunately one even the city’s abnormal behaviour experts—sorry, I mean the city clerk’s office—were not able to track down. But with only months to go to an election, the whole mess became so politically unpalatable that the politicians threw in the towel and caved to what one can only be described as a fairly ill-informed neighbourhood of angry but vocal voters. If only Radford’s skeptical eye had been applied to this ghastly mess, the results might not have been so alien to anyone who believes we vote city councillors in to make decisions—you know, like in a democracy. There is a very keen lobby of naysayers in this city who have become adept at presenting facts close, but not too close, to the truth and drumming up opposition to any change that the city council might want to make to bring jobs, tourists or building of any kind. The angry mobs of our city seem to keep winning by dragging decisions out to that all important pre-election period. The last time this happened? The now infamous CD-21 vote. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Local author, columnist and Capital News reporter Judie Steeves will be available to sign copies of her new book, Jude’s Kitchen, on Saturday, from 1 to 3 p.m., at Mosaic Books on Bernard Avenue in Kelowna. Jude’s Kitchen includes some of the author’s favourite recipes from the past dozen or so years her column by that name has run in the Capital News, along with comments on celebrating the occasions throughout the year with fresh, local, seasonal foods. The book is arranged by the seasons too, beginning with spring and its fresh sprouts, through the bountiful harvest of orchard and farm in summer and fall to the well-kept comfort foods of winter. Dozens of full-colour photos of some of the 200 recipes are interspersed amongst the pages. It’s available wherever books are sold.

Book helps outline how to keep talented employees happy
T
here is a common tendency among busy managers to leave well enough alone when employees are doing good work. While high performers are often a welcome relief for managers because they regularly produce results, it is unwise to assume that they are self-sufficient and content.
In other words, rather than use the exit interview to find out why someone is leaving, schedule “stay” interviews instead to learn what you need to do to
keep them. In order for there to be an honest, useful exchange, there needs to be trust between you and your employees. Kaye and Jordan-Ev-

It is more likely that your top talent needs regular feedback—to receive it as well as to give it— about how things are really going for them. Without that honest exchange there is a real risk of a breakdown in the working relationship. If, as a manager, you don’t stay engaged with your employees how will you know what really makes them tick? How will you know if they’re happy in their jobs and whether or not they plan to stay around for a while? One of the worst ways you will find out is when they leave. Receiving notice from a talented employee may come as a complete shock if you have not been paying attention to the signs leading up to it. Some organizations make it a regular practice to conduct exit interviews when key employees resign because they really want to understand why they chose to leave. The reality is that asking at that point is simply too late. I’m currently reading “Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em,” a book by authors Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans. This is a great book about why employees leave and what busy managers can do to encourage them to stay instead. Kaye and JordanEvans explore many of the reasons why people change employers and provide 26 management strategies, written as the ABC’s of “getting good people to stay”. The “A” in their alphabet of strategies is for Ask. They suggest asking your best employees on a regular basis what makes them stay with the organization, as well as what it would take to make them leave.

Five inductees named to Okanagan Sport Hall Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For the better part of two decades, she was virtually unbeatable in women’s golf in the B.C. Interior. That longtime dominance on courses around the province has made Kelowna’s Joan Campbell one of five inductees into the 2011 Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame. To be inducted in the Pioneer category, Campbell won the Interior women’s title 10 times between 1953 and 1972, and also won the Kelowna Golf and Country Club championship a record nine times. A mother of five, Campbell was a threetime semi-finalist at the B.C. women’s championship and helped Team B.C. win the Canadian Senior Women’s Golf Championship in 1971. Campbell, who was introduced with the other inductees at a media conference Tuesday at the Kelowna Museum, is delighted with her induction. “It’s a combination of all the accolades I’ve had in the past, and it’s very nice,” said Campbell, now 95, who was accompanied Tuesday by sons Terry and Chris. “Nothing has come up to this, to this level. (The game) meant everything to me, it was my life. “I’m sorry to say I can’t play now,” Campbell said with a smile. The other 2011 inductees are:

Under Nagy’s guidance, the Sun captured the Canadian Bowl twice, in 1988 and again in 2000. The Sun also won five B.C. titles during his tenure, while Nagy was named B.C. Junior Football coach of the year three times. Nagy, 55, was surprised his induction into the Hall came this quickly. “I didn’t anticipate anything happening for years and years, because there’s so many great, great people in this town, you know having lived here most of my life,” said Nagy. “I know all the support and help that I got on the way, those people were more deserving than I was. I anticipated this happening 10 years from

now.” As for Nagy’s recollections of his days with the Sun, it wasn’t the victories or awards that stand out most—it was the people. “It wasn’t so much the wins and championships but the things that happened between times, the quiet moments when you’re on a bus, there was so many good players that had good personalities and did so many crazy things.
The most important thing was being in the moment and doing the things that had to be done.” Nagy has been away from coaching for the better part of a decade, but hasn’t ruled out a return to football at some point. He and his family will be moving back to Kelowna Aug. 1 from Revelstoke.
ERIC TASKER-BUILDER
The late Eric Tasker was involved in virtually
every aspect of soccer in the Central Okanagan as a player, coach, manager and referee. He founded the Okanagan Challenge men’s soccer club in the early 1990s and oversaw the operation of the team for almost two decades. Tasker, who passed away last year, saw his team win the PCSL title three times, the last one coming in 2009. He was also a tireless volunteer, a nationallycertified referee and conducted clinics for hundreds of youngsters in the Okanagan. Tasker’s wife, Isla, said while her husband would have appreciated the individual recognition but would be most grateful for the attention given the sport he loved. “At the end of the day, Eric would be saying this

Dan Bertoia was a great day for the Challenge and a great day for soccer in Kelowna,” said Isla Tasker. “At the same time he’d say ‘Yes’ to all those people on the sidelines who helped him along the way.” Tasker won the Calgary Winter Olympics Community Service Award in 1988 and B.C. Soccer’s Merit Award in 1994.
DAN BERTOIA AND AUNDREA BERTOIA— ATHLETES
Excellence on the track ran in the family for Kelowna’s Bertoias. Dan specialized in the 800 and 1,500 metre events where he won many provincial, Western Canadian and national titles at high school, juvenile and senior levels. On the international scene, the highlight for Dan was a bronze medal in the 1,500 metres at the 1991 Pan American Games. Aundrea made her mark as a long distance runner in the 1,500 and 3,000 metre events, winning medals at the B.C. Summer Games, prov-
incial high school championships, and national junior championships. Her biggest achievements were winning the bronze medal in the 3,000 at the 1990 Junior Olympic Athletic Championships in Japan and the NAIA national title in 1992. In attendance to acknowledge their induction was their dad, Don Bertoia. “They wanted me to say how honoured and privileged they are to be included in the Hall of Fame,” said Don Bertoia. “They appreciate the support they’ve received throughout their running careers from their teachers and coaches and particularly the Kelowna Track and Field Club.” Dan Bertoia is currently living with his family in Burnaby, while Aundrea Bertoia is in the process of completing her nursing degree at the University of Alberta.

Challenge push for PCSL playoff spot Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Each and every point will be a hot commodity as the Okanagan Challenge head into the final three weeks of the Pacific Coast League regular season. With four games remaining, the Challenge (3-4-1) are currently in fifth spot, three points back of the Khalsa Sporting Club. The top four teams will make it into the PCSL championship tournament—the Challenge Cup on July 23 and 24 at a site yet to be announced. Working in the Challenge’s favour is the fact that all four games are at the friendly confines of Kelowna’s Apple Bowl. On Saturday at 7:30
p.m., Victoria United will come calling, followed by a visit from Khalsa on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. The Challenge will then host the Mid Isle Highlanders July 10, before closing out the 2011 regular campaign July 16 vs. the Kamloops Excel. “If we can go 3-and-1, that would probably keep us safe and be enough to get into a playoff position,” said Challenge head coach Kelly Wolverton. “I think it’s doable but at the same time, those teams are all going to be tough. Each game is very important. “We’ve had some close games this year,” he added, “and with a goal or break here or there we could easily be close to the top of the table.
There’s not much separating teams. But this is where we are and we’ll have to play well to earn some points over the last four games.” The Challenge is coming off back-to-back weekends on the road. Okanagan swept a pair on the Island on June 10 and 11. Last weekend, the Challenge lost 6-0 to the Vancouver Thunderbirds Saturday, then played Surrey United to a 2-2 draw on Sunday. David Hill and Justin Wallace scored the goals against Surrey. “Against Vancouver, they played very well and we didn’t play like we could, so that was the difference,” said Wolverton. “The next day the guys responded very well, being on the road and coming

back less than 24 hours later to play the way they did was great to see.” The Challenge hoped they’ve saved their best soccer for last. Wolverton said not having to travel again for the rest of the regular season should benefit his club. “After two weekends on the road, this will be a welcome change for the guys to be able stay right here at home for the next few weeks, especially if the weather is nice. The atmosphere is good and they guys like playing here.” IN PCSL women’s action this weekend, Okanagan FC will host North Shore Saturday, 4 p.m. at UBCO. The Okanagan Reserve men host Victoria United at 6 p.m. at UBCO. In PCSL reserve women’s play, Kelowna United will visit West Van and North Shore this weekend. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna teams to provincials Seven Kelowna United teams will be off to the Provincial B Cup soccer finals next month. Three of them were gold medal winners at the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League finals last weekend in Kamloops.

YOU HAVE A PURPOSE! “I solemnly urge you: Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but have itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths.” This comes from Paul’s second letter to Timothy. He is urgent in his plea because he is looking to the future and trying to prepare Timothy for the hard times that may be coming. As we look at this text though today perhaps it should not read, “the time is coming,” but instead, ‘the time has come.’ We are inundated everyday by commercials, television shows, music, books, etc that tell us what we should believe about ourselves, how we should act and what we should buy. The world promises us an easy life, fame, glory, and fortune in 3 simple steps, until you get into the fine print that is. It is so easy according to the world to say that it does not matter what you believe in, or that it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else then whatever you choose is okay. Society tells us to look for teachers and beliefs to suit our own ideas instead of having faith in a God who will give you rules to live by. And so we spend our days searching for the right thing to fit our ever-changing desires and moods, swinging from one end of the pendulum to the other, never quite satisfied and always looking for the new “spiritual” guru around the corner that will be our saving grace. These are the times that Paul warns Timothy about. They are hard and confusing with fleeting bits of happiness but never any real satisfaction. So if you are searching, wandering, looking for an easy life in the never-ending “3 simple steps” then I would like to invite you to stop. Slow down and
let the God who created heaven and earth instead find you! Let Christ call you into a fulfilling and eternally life-giving relationship that gives you purpose. God calls each person into a life full of purpose. He gives us vocation. Vocation is the Latin word for call. God calls each person to purpose through the living of our everyday lives. God gave us vocations so that we might have a place and a purpose in the world and he gives us faith so that we might be able to carry out our ministry as God asks us to do.
expected of you, especially when you might not even know where to begin. But once again, God is prepared and gives us a place to start. The place to start is in the Word of God. Paul writes, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.”
Marc Kolden, a Professor at Luther Seminary in St. Paul writes in his book, “The Christian’s Calling in the World,”
We live in a society that has, “itching ears.” People are looking for the easy way, for the confirmation that whatever they think or believe is okay. They are looking for affirmation of themselves and a purpose for their lives. You may be one of those people, and you can look to the ends of the earth but it is only God who has the answer. It is Christ who truly affirms us by not letting us get comfortable with our sinful selves but interrupts that life and calls us into new life, a life of daily tasks done in his name, a life full of purpose and ministry and an eternal life with him. It is Christ who gives us a beginning and an end as he holds us firmly,
“If we (wrongly) think that faith means only correct ‘belief’ and does not involve us in works of love, then we do not have faith-because faith is trusting God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. Faith is a total rearrangement of life that occurs when Christ comes to us and calls us to follow. Faith without works is not faith! The Gospel without vocation is not the Gospel because it simply leaves us at ease in our old sinful self--which Christ does not do. He loves us more than that, so he forgives us and gives us callings in daily life.” You see, Christ does not just forgive you, save you, and get out of the way. Instead he interrupts our human traditions and rearranges our lives. Christ gives us purpose by calling us into lives of ministry not outside ourselves but as a part of the things that we do everyday as children and parents and Grandparents and husbands and wives. Jesus’ call is not a call out of life but into it. This is a tall order. Where society asks almost nothing of us but to be free and true to ourselves, Christ calls us to a purpose, gives us guidelines to live by and actually expects something of us. It may seem easier to go with society and have nothing
In His Grip, Pastor Karen Seifert If you would like to know more about this amazing God who gives you purpose and calls you as his own, please come and worship with us on Sundays, either at our 10:30 AM or Noon services.

Volunteers needed for HELP Those who experience a sudden illness or accident are often left stunned by how quickly their lives have changed. A car accident, a sudden slip in the snow, or a heart attack can leave a person helpless in a home built for the able-bodied. For the elderly, after hip or knee surgery, a broken bone, or the onset of debilitating disease, everyday tasks can become
unmanageable. The Health Equipment Loan Program, HELP, is a Red Cross volunteer-driven, community-based program that provides free, short-term loans of essential medical equipment that allows people to safely recover at home. Clients are referred by health care practitioners who prescribe the appropriate equipment to support client care at home.
People in the community can only access this service if there is a volunteer available to help them. The Kelowna Health Equipment Loan Depot is in danger of reducing the number of days it can be open if they cannot find a few more volunteers. When you are caring for someone who has experienced a sudden change in their health any
delay in getting support can feel like an eternity. Four hours a week can make a world of difference to someone in that position. The Red Cross is looking for volunteers to assist with cleaning and disinfecting of our medical equipment, customer service and drivers. To help out, contact the Kelowna Canadian Red Cross office at 250-7631864 and ask for Kathy.

ago will still be viable and could hatch this year with high water in valley lakes inundating new ground. “Whenever there’s high water there are more hatches of mosquitoes because there’s more breeding ground available for them,” he explained. The good news is— that is not the species of mosquito that is of particular concern to Interior Health because it doesn’t usually carry the West Nile virus. The culex tarsalis mosquito, which prefers stagnant water with lots of organic matter such as swamps, is the common
carrier of West Nile virus. However, the culex pipiens or house mosquito is also a carrier and its numbers can generally be reduced by being vigilant in your own backyard. Empty the birdbath every few days and keep water from collecting and staying in flower pot saucers, eavestroughs, old tires, pool liners, children’s toys, and wherever water can pool up, he advises. Culex species tend to hatch during warmer weather, so August is a time for more concern than June. “The key to preventing West Nile virus is in your own backyard,” said Touchet. “We’re not
trying to eliminate mosquitoes, so people need to protect themselves with window screens, and by avoiding outdoor activities when mosquitoes are most active, at dusk and dawn. They prefer dark clothing, so avoid that.” Only the females suck blood because they require a blood meal in order to lay their eggs. Interior Health is working with local government to conduct larviciding of known breeding sites, and IH staff are doing some mosquito trapping and monitoring for the virus. Both culex species prefer birds although they will go after humans,
while the aedes prefers humans. WNV is a disease of birds that is spread by mosquitoes, so the insect would have to bite a bird and then a human to spread the disease. It’s usually fatal to corvids such as jays, blackbirds and magpies, There is an online site for reporting dead corvids but Touchet said they are not collecting birds any more because they know that the virus is in the Okanagan now. If you discover a dead corvid, wear gloves to touch it and double bag it before disposal. Report your find to http://westnile.bccdc.org.

If elected, Neis said she plans to become a “casual,” at KGH, meaning she could be called in when the hospital needs additional staff but it would be up to her to accept shifts. That way, she could devote the tremendous amount of time required
to be mayor. “I always intended to go back to politics full-time,” she said, adding that is now possible as two of her children graduated from high school last year. As for her vision for the municipality, Neis said she believes Canadians are “not out of
the woods yet” when it comes to the economy and expects five to six more years of what she calls really tough financial times. “In the meantime, we (as a municipality) have to get back to basics,” she said. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

W BLOOD DONATION
Thankful Kelowna mom helps kick off summer blood donor clinic campaign Barry Gerding EDITOR
ing Lives This Summer. Mackill, a Kelowna RCMP dispatcher, said it was the second time she has donated blood in her life, something she challenges more people to do. “It’s not hard to do. I was surprised how easy it was…about an hour of your time and you’re done,” Mackill said. Tammie Watson, spokesperson for Canadian Blood Services, said blood donors in Kelowna tend to range in age from 40 to 60, a reflection of the older population demographics in the city.
But she says a person can start donating blood at age 17. “Our seniors are very dedicated,” said Watson, citing one person who has donated blood more than 400 times. “But obviously we’d like to get more people who are younger and able to donate. For seniors, there comes a point where they can no longer donate due to their own health or medications they might be on that disqualifies them as blood donors,” Watson said. The current blood donor campaign runs un-

Donating blood is called a life-saving gift, but for Crystal Mackill that marketing slogan was her reality. Her son Wyatt required open heart surgery nine days after he was born, and it was donated blood that allowed that operation to be carried out. Today, Wyatt is a happy two-year-old, having survived surgery to transpose his two great arteries, a rare heart defect present
at birth in which the two main arteries leaving the heart are reversed. That reversal, or transposition, changes the way blood circulates through the body, leaving a shortage of oxygen in blood flowing from the heart to the rest of the body. Without an adequate supply of oxygen-rich blood, the body can’t function properly. Wyatt was at the Canadian Blood Services clinic on Tuesday as his mom donated blood, part of the Canadian Blood Services campaign challenge: Sav-

Hard-working blues band learned from the top Dawg Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Ever wonder how local blues legend Poppa Dawg got the name Poppa Dawg? The guy who lays claim to tagging him with the stage name is coming to town to tell the tale. This weekend the Blue Gator will be hopping with the hard-working, hard-playing sounds of Ross Neilsen & The Sufferin’ Bastards. “Rick (Poppa Dawg) was good to me both as a human being and a musician,” said Neilsen this week. Originally from the Maritimes, the blues enthusiast was travelling the country in his 20s and wound up spending a couple of years in Kelowna where he met Poppa Dawg (Rick Halisheff) and got a taste of the work ethic needed to make it in the business. Six Canadian tours
later with The Sufferin’ Bastards and it’s clear Neilsen took the message to heart. He prides himself on worth ethic, says the band takes downtime mid-winter, but he keeps plugging away doing solo shows and catching up on the administrative side of managing the band. He met the band’s bass player, Shawn Worden, 15 years ago at a party and said the pair managed to wrangle drummer Karl Gans back out onto the road while working on some recording with him. Gans’s parents live in Westbank, so the trio have some must-do stops while in Kelowna, including Cecil’s Perogies where the Capital News caught with them. As for why a hardworking, good-natured sounding guy like Neilsen wound up playing the blues, that’s a similar story to most of the musicians who haunt the Blue

ROSS NEILSEN and The Sufferin’ Bastards, bass player Shawn Worden and drummer Karl Gans, will be at The Blue Gator this Friday and Saturday night. Gators of this country. “It seems kind of real compared to the pop songs you hear on the radio,” he said. “It’s really
about day to day existence and living and breathing.” That said, there’s a little more quirk to this crew’s tunes than one
might suspect from the sounds of their own descriptions. Their last recording, Redemption, wasn’t exactly pounded
out in a local pool hall. All three made the trek to Northern Mississippi where they hit up a Zebra Ranch that famed musician and producer Jim Dickinson used as his studio. Cody Dickinson (Norhtern Mississippi Allstars) actually did the producing as Jim unfortunately passed away before the band arrived—though his family made sure there was never any question the recording would be made. All the band had to do was find the money as Canadian grant funding was not an option once they had decided to record on American soil.
The down-to-earth crew went back to basics with a good old fashioned bottle drive to raise the necessary funds, drumming up more than a little interest in their home province of New Brunswick. It seems the thought of blues musicians finding hope in at the bottom of a bottle struck a chord with the music fans of Fredericton and the results will be enjoyed by much of the country as the Sufferin’ Bastards hit the road this season. Ross Neilsen and The Sufferin Bastards play the Blue Gator Friday, June 24, and Saturday, June 25. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

With many chefs leading the way, learning to preserve the bountiful seasons through canning, freezing and drying is an economical and delicious way to live.

STRAWBERRY JAM WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND BLACK PEPPER 1 lb of strawber-
ries. These should be the smallest you can find. Also, make sure they are just ripe—if they are soft, this will not jell for you. If they are mostly ripe with a few under-ripe ones, that works best. 2 cups sugar 2 tbsp lemon juice, fresh or bottled 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper Rinse the strawberries in cold water, stem and core. Quarter if large. Take 2 cups of sugar, and 2 tbsp of lemon juice; mix with the strawberries, and let sit covered overnight in the fridge. The next day, strain the strawberries and cook the juice in a heavy pot. Stir frequently. Boil until you have a
thick syrup. (222 F at sea level). When the syrup reaches this temperature, add the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and the pepper. Bring the temperature back up to 222 F. Take off heat. Let sit for five minutes and skim off as much foam as you can. In the meantime, wash a glass jar and lid in soapy water. Put the jar in an oven at 250 F for 10 minutes. Ladle jam into the hot jar and wipe rim of the jar, then put lid on. Let sit overnight to cool. If it doesn’t set, you can pour it on angel food cake or ice cream for an elegant dessert.

ENTERTAINMENT W MOVIE REVIEW
Stay till the last credits have rolled to get all of Super 8 Welcome to the inaugural review by local movie buff, Susan Steen, who enjoys nothing better than spending time in a dark theatre watching movies of all genres. Her ‘reel’ ratings will be from one, the worst, to five, a can’t miss. irst, let me put your minds at ease right from the start. Super 8, the movie, has no relation to the motel of the same name. And while it’s a Steven Spielberg production, it’s not E.T. revisited. Oddly, it was not a movie to which a young crowd seemed to flock, at least not on the night I attended, and to a degree that might have been be a good thing. Super 8 is not for very young children, even
F
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen though the main characters are in fact children themselves. Given the previews, you might expect to see a basic sci-fi/alien movie, but Super 8 is a movie within a movie. While I wouldn’t go so far as to call Super 8 a “coming of age film,” I would say it is rich in dealing with relationships—father and son, father and daughter, finding friendsh—all through the eye of a camera, rolling for a movie of another
ELLE FANNING (left) shows real star power in Super 8. genre. The moments of fear and levity, coupled with dazzling and spectacular special effects, make Super 8 watchable and memorable. You will talk
about this one after you see it. The characters portrayed by this young cast are believable and interesting—Joe (Joel Courtney), Cary (Ryan Lee),
CONTRIBUTED
Preston (Zach Mills), Charles (Riley Griffith), Martin (Gabriel Brasso) and Alice (Elle Fanning) each give solid and effortless performances. One sees real star
power in Elle Fanning, and no wonder, given the family traits already seen in her sister Dakota. It’s a bit of a bummer (well, not a bummer like it’s a bummer that no one seems to be wearing lip liner anymore) that the ending is rushed and somewhat anti-climactic. And in true Spielberg fashion, we tell one more alien to go home. Will we ever ask them to stay? Maybe we already have, if I think back to a couple of ex-husbands…but I digress. Let’s leave that for the next alien flick. I forewarn you to stay to the very end while the credits roll, to get one last taste of the film’s charm and real purpose. The best Super 8 movie quote was by Charles
(Riley Griffith): “I haven’t leaned out yet.” (You’ll get it when you see the movie.) While Bridesmaids has been out a while, if you haven’t seen it yet, and don’t mind some sex scenes and bad language, take a fun friend and spend the money. It truly is a funny, funny movie that will keep you laughing all the way to the end. Just remember, don’t take your mom or your boyfriend. Take your best friend and be prepared to laugh out loud.

Dunn turns in intelligent ‘debut’ two decades into career RONNIE DUNN: (ARISTA)
After two decades of huge sales as the number one selling country duo of all time, Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks have decided to call it a day. Hence Ronnie Dunn’s debut solo album is self-titled as if to signify his new independent beginning. I am not sure if Brooks is going to record a solo album but if he does, he will be mighty pressed to surpass this surprisingly good, 12-track Ronnie Dunn release. Dunn has already scored a hit with the innovative Bleed Red where you can hear elements of U2 in the bass and rhythmics as well as a hint of Coldplay in the pounding one note piano. The newest single, Cost Of Living, is an articulate, topical song about the struggling American economy with its focus on unemployed returning war veterans from the Middle East and the straight up, narrative style makes for a fine listen. But, as expected, it is the up-tempo numbers that really shine for country beer drinkers and hell raisers. Check out the cool mariachi horns
SOUNDING OFF

IRON MAIDEN: THE BEST OF 1990-2010 (EMI)
Hard to imagine that Iron Maiden has been on the heavy metal scene for four decades. The band has released more than a dozen Best Of and Greatest Hits collections in its time including a 10-CD box set back in the early ’90s as well as an album of “interview sessions” for the uber fan. The band issued a retrospective titled Somewhere Back In Time: The Best Of 1980-1989 a couple of years so it is a natural progression to release this two-CD anthology subtitled From Fear To Eternity that takes us from 1990 to last year in the wake of their huge selling studio album and tour The Final Frontier.

Kate Bush was a lot more prolific in her early days in the late ’70s with platinum-selling albums such as Lionheart and especially Hounds Of Love. Now the artist, in her mid 50s, has slowed down the pace as this is only her first new studio album in six years and only her

second in 17 years. While Director’s Cut is a new studio album it does not really have new material as Bush has rerecorded four tracks from The Red Shoes (’93) and seven from The Sensual World (’89). I don’t know why Bush is reinterpreting previous work but the lead off song might be key. Flower Of The Mountain is a remake of the song The Sensual World but with all new lyrics. Originally Bush wanted to use text from James Joyce’s Ulysses but his estate refused the request. But Bush has since become such a superstar, especially in her native U.K., that approval has now been granted. This new version is rootsy yet typically Bushartsy with pipes and Celtic fiddle.

for its rootsy integrity and no synths. Moreover, as this was recorded for television, albeit in front of a huge stadium audience, ZZT keep the songs short with several under three minutes, while more than a few songs segue into one another so that the band could get a whopping 16 tracks on the program, not counting the medley of La Grange/Sloppy Drunk/ Bar-B-Q. There is a superb take of Elmore James’ blues rock classic Dust My Broom and a better than average cover of Elvis’ Jailhouse Rock. But I think even the live versions found here of Tush and La Grange are actually better than the studio originals. A wonderful set for uber ZZ Top fans. B

Bush’s new take of Solomon’s Song is especially pretty in its new setting with flute and reggae-styled bass line. Here Bush sounds equally inviting, lusty and aggressive with the lyric “don’t give me your bullshit, just want your sexuality.” I found the new Top Of The City overly dramatic but this is offset by the handsome blues guitar that graces And So Is Love while the closing new take of the hit Rubberband Girl is worth the price of admission alone. Here Bush borrows Keith Richards’ rhythm guitar line from Street Fighting Man for a wonderful slice of dance rock that I hope will make an impact on club floors as well as the airwaves. It ain’t all exactly new
I don’t think big Iron Maiden fans really care about radio hits as much as they adore the entire catalogue because Iron, the band, only had a half dozen charting songs in the last decade and three of them are not included here re: Trooper, Run To The Hills and Wildest Dreams. There are, however, concert recordings of a few nuggets such as Man On The Edge, The Clansman and Fear Of The Dark. I always wonder how these legacy bands, around for so long, can release three times as many anthologies than actual studio albums but for Iron Maiden head bangers, here is another comprehensive set.

ood or bad, sequels will always be a part of the movies. Even the weak sequel to the classic comedy Airplane! at least had the gleefully redundant title Airplane II: The Sequel. Luckily, the title of the sequel to Cars is simplistic but the film will be gleefully entertaining. Cars 2 has automotive friends Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) heading overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. However, after Mater falls in with British super spy Fin McMissle (Michael Caine) and international espionage, he is torn between assisting Lightning McQueen and participating in a top-secret mission orchestrated by McMissle.

Rick Davis a warning of violence, it looks like Pixar will continue its perfect winning streak of animated blockbusters. Director Jake Kasdan (Orange County, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) may not be a household name, but his father, Lawrence Kasdan, helped George Lucas write The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and Raiders of the Lost Ark and is also the acclaimed director of movies like Body Heat, The Big Chill and Silverado. The younger Kasdan is starting to make a name for himself and Bad Teacher, starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake and Jason Segel, will likely be another step towards creating a legacy like his father’s. Diaz plays a foulmouthed, ruthless and in-
appropriate teacher who drinks, gets high and can’t wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she’s dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Timberlake)—competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers and even herself an education like no other. Bad Teacher is rated 14A with coarse language and sexual content. Even though he attracts big names to his movies and consistently receives great critical reviews, Woody Allen cannot seem to break out of his small but dedicated fan base. True to form, Midnight in Paris is getting great reviews (Allen’s best since 1994’s Bullets Over Broadway), particularly for stars Owen
Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marian Cotillard and Kathy Bates. A romantic comedy set in the city of love, it is the story of a young couple who have experiences in Paris that change their lives. Rated General with a warning of coarse language, Midnight in Paris is showing at the Paramount Theatre. Also at the Paramount Theatre is The Bang Bang Club, the true story of four young combat photographers bonded by friendship and their sense of purpose to tell the truth. They risk their lives and use their cameras to tell the world of the violence associated with the first free elections in postapartheid South Africa. Starring Ryan Phillippe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch, it is rated 14A with a warning of violence and coarse language.

Local vintage store offers a cure for your wardrobe woes
T
uesday marked the first day of summer and as the sun is (finally) shining its hot rays down on the Okanagan, it’s time to break out the summer wardrobe. In doing so you might find that last year’s collection of clothing just isn’t doing it for you anymore and you find yourself with nothing to wear. Yes, it’s time for some sunny days clothes shopping. But before you splurge at the mall and buy a whole new closet full of garb that you’ll most likely see on someone else every time you go out (let’s face it, Kelowna shopping is limited), I suggest you take a stroll downtown to Tweaked and Yummy Vintage Apparel on
Ellis Street. Located right across from the Cannery Lofts, Tweaked and Yummy offers a wide selection of unique vintage pieces that will add a fun and bold addition to anyone’s armoire. Oh, and another reason to drop by—it’s local. Owner Stacey Huculiak started up Tweaked and Yummy in 2009 after a lifelong dream of owning an eclectic little shop (Everything Yummy being the name of choice) featuring vintage clothing, an artist studio and a coffee shop. Stacey, along with husband Steve, had Everything Yummy in mind as
CONTRIBUTED
THERE’S plenty to choose from at Tweaked andYummy on Ellis Street. a retirement plan but with the downturn in the economy, Stacey was laid off from her job and couldn’t find other work so she took the opportunity to make her dreams a reality
and Tweaked and Yummy was born. The store started out mainly as Stacey’s personal collection that she had been accumulating since age 16. The run-
ning joke was that you had to be her size in order to buy anything. As the months went on though, the stores, “buy, sell, trade” policy has widened the selection, and yes, the sizes. Many of the pieces that come into the store don’t just go straight to the rack though. Stacey also alters many of the pieces to offer clientele one-of-a-kind vintage outfits that can’t be found anywhere else. “I want to just give people the opportunity to be a little more openminded than to just buy something off the rack. I find it real fun to open up the doors to creativity and help make an outfit for someone that they love because they had a part in
making it better. “It’s like that with a lot of things in life; if you take part in something then you have more pride in it,” says Stacey about her unique pieces. The dream didn’t just stop at vintage clothing. Tweaked and Yummy also features a variety of local artists as well as plays host to a number of art shows and concerts. “Being married to an artist, being step-mom to musicians and videographers, I just really love helping people spread their wings,” muses Stacey. When asked what her motivation is for hosting local and touring talent: “I look at the art shows as the first baby step into the real world, only it is in a
safe place surrounded by the people who love and support them.” So whether you’re looking for that perfect summer dress or just for a new downtown locale to check out, visit Stacey at Tweaked and Yummy Vintage Apparel. Visit often as you can be sure to find great new pieces each time you pop by. Tweaked and Yummy Vintage Apparel is located at 1292 Ellis St. in downtown Kelowna.

NEWS W BATS FOR A CAUSE
Swinging the lumber in support of B.C. Children’s Hospital The third annual Bats For A Cause softball tournament fundraiser for the B.C. Children’s Hospital is set for July 23 and 24 at the Kelowna Mission sports fields. This fun corporate softball challenge has a goal to raise $50,000 this year. “Support from the community has been overwhelming this year,” said Angela McLean-O’Heir, co-organizer of the Bats For A Cause this year with Jane Fletcher. “With the current level
of support from corporate teams, sponsors and donors, we are very hopeful of achieving our goal. “Children clearly hold a special place in the hearts of the people in our community, and we are grateful for their support and contribution.” Seventeen teams have signed up for this year, already an increase over the 16-team tournament field last year, and seven more teams are still needed. To register, go to the website www.bcchf.ca/ batsforacause.
The One Armed Bandits will be out to defend their individual team fundraising title won in each of the last two tournaments, raising a total of $6,911. Mayor Sharon Shepherd said supporting the B.C. Children’s Hospital is a worthy because spital treats sick kids from across the province and the Yukon. Last year more than 78,000 children were treated at the hospital. “It’s the only hospital that meets the needs of children,” Shepherd said. Sunny Leung, spokes-
person for the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation, said money raised for the foundation helps to both update new technology and life-saving equipment for treating children’s illnesses, and also research for advanced research in areas such as cancer treatment. The corporate sponsors for Bats For A Cause include Astral Media, Prospera Credit Union, Kelowna Adult Softball Association and the Kelowna-Sunrise Rotary Club.
COLE WATTS is a Kelowna youngster who has benefitted from the health care capabilities of the B.C. Children’s Hospital when he needed treatment for cancer. The youngster spoke at the press conference held Wednesday to announce the Bats For A Cause softball tournament fundraiser July 23 and 24 for the hospital along with his mom Barb Watts and his sister.
KFD offers wood burning pit ban reminder The Kelowna Fire Department is reminding residents that wood burning fire pits are not permitted under city bylaws. “This time of year, we get called out to a lot of backyard wood burning fire pits and campfires and we want to clarify what is permitted under the Fire Protection Regulation Bylaw,” said Kelowna deputy chief Thomas Doherty. On Feb.28, city council approved some exceptions to previously prohibited open air burning regulations.

WORK ON HOLD…West Kelowna council has decided to hold off on any upgrades to the
former CNR Wharf at Gellatly Bay, a popular swimming and diving spot with young people, until it completes its waterfront plan and receives input from local high school students. The district will, however, return the wooden railing configuration on the wharf to what it was prior to changes made in 2010.

A new Westside health centre appears to be tumbling down Interior Health’s priority list—if it even is a priority anymore. In a presentation to West Kelowna council Tuesday, IH’s vice-president of community integration said the project is expected to be on a wish-list the health authority would like the province to fund over the next 10 years but he refused to say where on the list it will be, or even if it will be the standalone centre originally promised 4 1/2 years ago. Andrew Neuner said that wish-list will not be finalized until the fall. Last year, the Westside Urgent Health Centre had dropped to ninth on the IH’s list. Neuner said this year pressing needs for improvements at hospitals in Kamloops and Williams Lake will have to be added to the list, which could bump the plan for a Westside health care centre even further down. Four years ago, when IH officials announced plans for the local centre, it was considered a top priority. But since then, hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on additions to Kelowna General Hospital. The government said it wants to see more encompassing community care models used that involve more than just doctors in patient care. As a result, it is unclear what, if anything, would be built here. The original plan called for a multistorey facility that would provide a myriad of health services, including ambulatory care and even day surgeries. While not a hospital, it was considered the right fit for a growing area close to a major hospital and one that could meet the needs of the entire Westside, including Peachland. But, with demands from other areas in the Interior Health Authority region, IH officials are now telling the municipality it should look to physicians and other health care professionals to band together and create their own health centre. Based on a project currently used in the Parksville area of Vancouver Island, the approach would be a partnership that could, in Neuner’s words, operate out of “one storefront office or five storefront offices.” Meanwhile, the province does not intend to sell off the property it bought for
a reported $3.5 million for a new health centre at Butt and Elliott Roads in Westbank. Mayor Doug Findlater said in a recent conversation with B.C. Health Minister Mike de Jong, it was made clear the province is not ready to unload the property. “That gives us some hope,” said Findlater. Following the presentation by Neuner and IH coordinator of strategic initiatives Jamie Braman, Findlater said he was not surprised by what he heard. He said it is the same line that the municipality has been given privately by both IH and the health ministry. “But I wanted them to come here and say it publicly,” said the mayor. While not publicly turning away from the Westside Urgent Health Centre plan, both Neuner and Barman made it clear other priorities will take precedence. So if West Kelowna wants some sort of a health centre, the municipality will likely have to facilitate discussions with doctors and other health care workers here itself. Neuner said IH would participate but he urged council to act. Findlater said it is clear nothing will happen for at least a year, so there is an opportunity for council if it wants to pay for such a plan. That would likely be left to 2012 when a new council will be in place. According to IH, 37 per cent of the public currently use 83 per cent of health care resources, and the health authority has to find a way to deal with that. One of the ways is to focus on prevention. And that, in turn, will limit the amount of money spent on “bricks and mortar” projects. If prevention and other changes in how the province deals with health care are successful, that could mean buildings, such as the proposed health care centre, may not be needed to the same extent. But, as West Kelowna councillors pointed out, with the changing demographics in this area, some facilities will still be required, albeit maybe not at the same level. As for what will be on this year’s IH wish list, Braman said that has yet to be finalized. Meanwhile, in the words of Coun. Rosalind Neis, all West Kelowna has is “a field with a fence around it.”

W EXPANDED CIRCULATION
Welcoming a new audience T his Achieving Justice column has been published weekly in the Westside section of the Capital News for four and a half years. With the Westside section now part of the wider circulation base of the newspaper, my column is now circulating east of the bridge. So for most of you, you are reading my column for the first time. As such, it feels like an introduction is in order. I am a personal injury lawyer. Yes, I know—“ick.” The “ambulance chaser” label is a hard one to shake. Then there’s the ‘lying, cheating, exaggerating clients’ who have been ‘lucky’ enough to get into a fender bender and hire personal injury lawyers to help ‘screw the insurance company.’ One of the reasons I agreed to start writing this column was that I would be given an opportunity to help change those unfortunate public perceptions. My very first column, published Jan. 7, 2007, was titled: It’s Not About Screwing The Insur-

ACHIEVING ance Company. It the true story JUSTICE told that my job is about preventing injured victims from being screwed, not the other way around. I have not missed Paul Hergott a column deadline in the over 220 weeks since then, though sometimes I’ve gotten just under the wire. Except when I have been distracted from time to time by other legal topics, this column has been about personal injury claims. I would not have predicted, back in the beginning of 2007, that I would have been able to write so extensively about such a narrow area of law. It has turned out not to be a struggle. Tactics used by insurance companies to avoid paying fair compensation to injured victims seem endless. Misunderstandings and misperceptions about the law are extensive. With a column bank of 220, extending back four and a half years, I suppose I could press “repeat” and not have to spend the two to three hours every week it takes to write a fresh column. It wouldn’t matter to those of

you outside of Westside reading my column for the first time, and who on the Westside would recognize a column from four and a half years ago, anyway? But that’s not how I roll. Fresh columns will continue to flow. Those of you wanting to “catch up,” or who want a crash course on personal injury claims, I invite you to review a complete archive of my columns on my website www.hergottlaw.ca. If anyone actually does that, let me know and I’ll send you a sympathy card! If there is an issue you would like me to write about in my column, please e-mail me. Don’t feel you need to look up whether or not I’ve covered the topic in a previous column. Most topics are worth revisiting with a fresh perspective. I hope Westside readers don’t feel gypped by the complete lack of substance this time around! I’ll be back at ‘er next week. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School

Community Connection June 2011
Local government responding to youth needs BY ERIKA NAIRISMAGI It’s not often that youth get involved with politics, and it is even less often that youth have a direct effect on decisions that shape our communities. A small group of passionate, dedicated, and outspoken youth challenged this notion when they made a presentation to West Kelowna City Council. It was the first time since West Kelowna formally became a city that the Council had ever gotten a presentation by high school students. The presentation focused on the lack of youth activities on the Westside and the close relation of this to the
substantial abuse of teenage drugs and alcohol. The presentation was supported by a graph that polled well over a thousand students at Mount Boucherie. The survey asked the students what they would like to see in West Kelowna. The ideas varied from a bowling alley, arcade, laser tag, waterslides and more. The two most popular suggestions were waterslides and a bowling alley, which both have been lost on the Westside. Other topics were cyber bullying, a stronger police presence in the school and a youth forum. The group had no expectations from the Council,
but simply wanted to get the information into hands that could take action. The seven students learned that day that it is very possible for youth to take action and create change in our own community. The presentation sparked what would be the start of a two hour long conversation between the council members. Many of the suggestions, problems and solutions had been brought forward before by a variety of other groups. The youth voice gave it a fresh and engaging perspective and the group was utterly shocked at the interest by the council.
During the meeting three motions were set into place and one Counsellor pointed out to the students that it is very rare for Council to make decision in front of the presenters. It was a motivating day, learning that the Council truly cared about the youth’s opinion and wanted to make a difference in the issues we put forward. A thank you is in order to each Council member for the sincere thought and effort that went into examining and discussing the youth presentation. Four Counsellors’ were very interested in meeting with the group again to further
Q 2011 MBSS graduating class
A day of celebration and memories BY EVIE JOHNSON Mount Boucherie Secondary students, including myself, were all smiles on Saturday, May 28, as MBSS had their annual dinner and dance, along with the Grand March through waterfront park in honour of all the students graduating from school in 2011. All the female graduates of MBSS looked stunning, dressed in all different types of gorgeous gowns. Of course, their dates also looked especially handsome in tuxes and suits, with most couples colour coordinating ties and boutonnieres to dresses and corsages. Most of the graduates arrived in style, either getting off houseboats or stepping out of limos and “party” busses. Families, friends and teachers all met at the Dolphins in Kelowna to greet the graduates and get as many pictures as possible; it was quite the gallant affair. The graduates walked two by two as couples for all to see and there was not one sad face to be seen among the group. As the Grand March drew to a close the students were then directed
The MBSS Dry Grad Committee would like to thank the many donators in our community who contributed to dry grad for our 2011 Graduates.

This celebration could not happen without the support of the West Kelowna, Peachland and Kelowna communities.
into the Grand Hotel where they were to participate in the usual banquet and dance. As a student at MBSS, it was both overwhelming and surreal to be in such an environment, surrounded by all of my fellow classmates. It hit me soon afterwards that this was prom! Balloons and streamers decorated the banquet hall and a large dance floor was set up with a stage for a DJ. All of the graduates sat down at their assigned tables, ate delicious food and listened to some wonderful speeches. The school’s principal, Mr. Simonson, gave a wonderful toast to start off the evening and soon after Kendra Jaggers recited a prayer to bless the meal. We heard an excellent historian speech from Jeneya Clark, reminding us all of the awesome, and not so awesome experiences of high school. Cam Fish then gave both a witty and inspiring Futurist speech, allowing us to laugh and speculate about the future of our fellow graduates. The whole evening was of course wonderfully hosted by Logan Peachey and Taylor Ink. The students were soon given the opportunity to dance with their mothers and fathers, something

which I’m sure pleased all of the families immensely. Eventually, the students were left to dance the night away. Students began exiting around 10 pm to continue their festivities elsewhere, long into the night. The whole evening was perfect and no one could deny the fact they had a lot of fun and would now have nothing but good memories of their prom. As a fellow graduate of MBSS, I can personally say the evening was done perfectly and beautifully; there wasn’t a disappointed face in sight. Although the mood was almost sad at some points - soon we will leave high school and all of our friends to go on to bigger and better things everyone was able to bask in the glow of graduating and managed to have a good time. I know I am extremely thankful to all of the teachers and staff who put together such a wonderful evening, as it was not one to be forgotten. MBSS has supplied me with some of the best memories of my life so far, and after the dinner, dance and walk, I only have more good times to look back on and smile about.

develop the ideas laid forward in the presentation. Last week three Council Members sat down with five youth and one teacher to further dive into the complicated issues and possible solutions. One major gain is Mount Boucherie will host a Youth Forum twice a year at the school. The forum will be open for leadership students, Council members, Service Groups Representatives and more. The idea is a set up where youth can learn about progress in the community while giving their input in a positive and constructive way. Also, over a week ago,
the same group presented to the Peachland Council and once again got very positive results. The Council wants to speak to West Kelowna Council so that they can tackle the problems together. On top of this, an ideal and wonderful opportunity arose after the meeting about a space for students to hangout on a Friday night. A fun and sober night event for teens is still in the works but watch out for advertising in the summer. “Never doubt that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world.
