Some councillors see red over going green Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Solar hot water showers for Kelowna’s fire fighters and electric cars to boot about the streets had city councillors in a flap over meeting green targets in the Okanagan this week. A request to install a $12,000 solar hot water system on the Enterprise Way fire hall generated tremendous debate Monday afternoon as councillors variously extolled the virtues of meeting provincial greenhouse gas emission targets and damned the plans for their perceived expense. “If we keep growing like we do, we cannot meet those commitment,s” said Coun. Graeme James, who appeared to lead the rally to sink the solar hot water plan. Kelowna has agreed

to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent at all city facilities by 2011 and by 33 per cent from 2007 levels by 2020 overall, but according to James those are now insurmountable goals. James said he believes this city is only going to continue to be a popular place to live and that outfitting every city facility with green technologies like the solar hot water system would eventually bankrupt the municipality. Not so, according to Angela Reid, however, who said the truly costly decision would be to ignore environmental warning signs and stick with the status quo. “The idea that all future growth has to come at the expense of greenhouse gases isn’t necessarily true,” she said. “Growth is inevitable but how we grow is the

important thing.” She suggested pay back could be swift for most greenhouse gas reducing technologies and helped turn the tide at the council table so the council would approve the hot water deal. Electric cars, on the other hand, could be on the roads of other communities for some time before Kelowna approves the little get-a-bouts. Though places like Oak Bay, Victoria and Penticton have approved the use of the small vehicles, Kelowna city councillors had serious concerns about their safety rating and the dependency of local residents on vehicles for travel. They have ordered several more reports in the wake of Monday’s discussion. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Search for missing plane continues Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

More than a week has passed since the plane carrying four Kelowna residents to Victoria went missing and rescue crews

have yet to find a thing. “It may take another seven days to complete the primary search area and upwards of 25 days total, to compete the secondary coverage,” said Capt. Marc Archambault,

NEWS ▼ POLITICS

Liberal leader high on the Okanagan Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Clad in a checkered shirt, Levis and cowboy boots he picked up in Kamloops, Michael Ignatieff did his best to shed the aristocratic image that’s continually come between him and voters. “People keep saying ‘you’re not as ugly, stiff and humourless as I was led to believe,’” joked the Liberal Leader who was in Kelowna, Monday, for the final stop of his B.C. tour. In fact, before and after a brief speech, the politician who has about 28 per cent of the country’s support, was quite chatty with the 250 locals who showed up, satisfying the curiosity of many in attendance. “I just wanted to find out what kind of guy he was and whether he can reach the common man,” said Warren Waddell. “I think he came across as a warm and caring Canadian…very much in tune with the country.” Waddell is a Liberal supporter, but by Ignatieff’s estimates, not every-

one who’s made their way to the various stops along his populist bus journey is so entrenched in the party. “There are people in this crowd tonight who call themselves Progressive Conservatives who feel they’re homeless, who feel they’re not represented by this kind of Conservative (government) and who are astonished that a government that promised fiscal responsibility now has a $54 billion deficit,” said Ignatieff. “This offends a lot of people’s values. These (government politiicans) are throwing a lot of money around, and it’s our money. That’s very basic stuff to Conservatives. You spend a billion dollars, you better have a good explanation for people in the Okanagan. Fake lakes? You’ve got to be kidding.” The theme of Ignatieff’s pre-campaign visit seemed directed at luring disenchanted voters the right and left of centre, back to the party that’s dominated Canadian politics for the majority of its history.

“If you vote Green, or vote NDP, you are getting four more years of Stephen Harper,” he said. “I say, ‘Come on in, to the big red tent at the centre of Canadian life’.” Whether that big, red tent will find a home in the Okanagan remains to be seen, however. The Conservatives are deeply entrenched here, and in the last election, Conservative incumbent MP Ron Cannan surpassed Liberal Diana Cabbott—who came in third—by more than 23,000 votes. The Okanagan-Coquihalla’s Liberal candidate Valerie Halford came in a distant fourth to Conservative incumbent Stockwell Day. For the next election, Halford has been replaced by Ross Rebagliati. That said, Ignatieff doesn’t believe the lay of the local political landscape is a done-deal. “Everywhere I went, I said there isn’t Conservative country or Liberal Country, there’s one country and we have to offer an alternative everywhere,” he said. “I know this has been

tough territory for the Liberals but I’m here to send a message. We want to compete everywhere including the Okanagan. We have to show we are committed to speaking and listening to Canadians.” If the intel he’s gleaned is correct, Canadians in this neck of the woods are concerned about fruit prices, making sure there are agricultural supports to keep industry going and an alternative to the Harper government. As for the rest, who may have given up on sharing their view on politics altogether, Ignatieff said they should take a minute to re-evaluate their stance. “People feel like they have been let down and betrayed, but when you step back and see good zoning, good land use and preservation of the lake and even the Agricultural Research Station (in Summerland), for all the times that people say that politicians are always letting us down, if you look around, you’ll see promises were kept,” he said. “This is a wonderful place to live.”

▼ SPEEDING

Not enough tickets issued: cops Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna RCMP officers are not issuing enough tickets to stop drivers from speeding through local neighbourhoods, city council heard Monday. Coun. Luke Stack said he has heard serious concern about drivers are laying too much rubber near local homes when council met with the neighbourhood associations en mass earlier this month

and he shared the concern with RCMP Insp. Cam Forgues. The cops have not been handing out enough tickets, Forgues admitted, noting even the figures for this summer show officers are not on top of the basic infractions when the busy summer season begins. “It’s a constant battle we face every day,” he said, adding “unfortunately, in the last few years, we’ve been robbing the traffic section for other duties.”

During his monthly visits to council, Supt. Bill McKinnon has consistently complained that the local RCMP have had to steal resources from the traffic section of their detachment in order to meet demands in other areas— particularly during the busy summer season. Funding to pay for additional police officers must come out of the city’s budget and, though he received an additional five officers this year, the McKinnon said he would

need 21 more to meet demands this year. Council did not agree to his request. Last December, McKinnon told council he is burning his officers out and they are stretched thin, according to a frightening statistical analysis that revealed Kelowna’s police resources are among the worst in the country. A Statistics Canada study released that same See RCMP A6

KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS

FEDERAL LIBERAL LEADER Michael Ignatieff made a whistle-stop visit to Kelowna Monday, talking to hundreds of people at CedarCreek .

A local top cop moving on Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna RCMP Insp. Cam Forgues is moving. But he is not going far. Forgues is joining the force’s Kelowna-based South-East District. The well-known officer is among the top echelon of Kelowna’s RCMP detachment and became a prominent public figure when he and his wife were in a violent automobile accident outside Kamloops. Laura Forgues died at the scene after a Hummer H2 hit the couple’s Hon-

da Accord as they travelled on the Trans-Canada Highway near Chase. The inspector, who ranks just under Superintendent Bill McKinnon in the Kelowna detachment, returned to work several months later after rehabilitation for injuries sustained in the accident. “I certainly do go with mixed feelings,” said Forgues, when he addressed council Monday as part of the monthly policing report delivered to the city. The move means the veteran officer will be

stationed in Rutland, but charged with covering an area from the Alberta border to the American border, from Barrier to Merritt. Forgues graduated from RCMP Depot Division in 1979, listing Kelowna as his preferred place to live and work. It took him 25 years to achieve the goal, but now that he’s here, he said he isn’t willing to leave and has mixed feelings about spending time away from home. There will be travel involved in his new job.

NEWS ▼ EVENT

Triathlon an organizational winner Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

Support from all sides is helping Kelowna’s Apple Triathlon compete with the best races around the world. Media director Jeanette Hoft said this year’s event went well. “We had a really great year.” Hoft said there were no snags, no injuries, a good course and positive feedback from all of the athletes. Praise was handed out from novices, kids and elites on both the race course and the volunteers. There were more than 1,800 event entries for this year’s Apple Triathlon. Although some people had more than one entry, Hoft said the tally was still a new record for the race. Last year saw just over 1,600 entries. “That was great.” A strong showing was made not only by athletes competing in the event. It takes close to 1,200 volunteer positions to make the Apple Triathlon happen. Hoft pointed out one volunteer could fill more than one of those pos-

itions. With five or six days left before the event, the triathlon society still needed 500 volunteer positions filled. “It’s always a little bit of a last minute thing, but people did step up,” she said. She noted the triathlon received great support from volunteers. Hoft pointed out being down in volunteer numbers as the event day approaches is always a little nerve-wracking, but people do show up to assist at the last minute. “We had fantastic support from the community.” A contributor to the success of this year’s event was the race course itself. Hoft said the changed course worked out well and complimented race director Randy Sparrow on a job well done. Athletes took on a course with changes to the final run portion. Hoft said last year’s run travelled more through downtown Kelowna, while this year’s route spent more time going south along the edge of Okanagan Lake. “It was beautiful, a

good view and a really good run.” Despite more wind than last year and rain showers on the Sunday, accidents failed to materialize. Hoft said the cycle portion is a concern during wet conditions, as the cyclists can slip.

‘‘

THERE’S A LOT OF CONTINUITY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE EVENT. Jeanette Hoft

Hoft also complimented Quality Greens on the food provided, especially the bins of apples. “We really showed them warm Okanagan hospitality.” She said the athletes’ food was terrific. Having travelled to Australia last year for the world triathlon championships, she noted Kelowna compares well with some of the best races in the world. This year marked the

28th incarnation of the Apple Triathlon, an event that has grown from an initial group of 300 participants. For Hoft, the success of the event has a lot to do with the continuation of efforts year after year by a dedicated group of volunteer organizers. “There’s a lot of continuity in the management of the event.” She pointed out there is a lot to learn from every race. Planning the triathlon is a long process, one that typically begins 10 months before race day. For the future years, Hoft said the society would like to see more large sponsors involved. Despite the size the triathlon has reached, the sponsorship base is mainly local. But it takes effort from many quarters to make the triathlon a reality. Hoft said there is often a focus on the elite athletes, but there is an equal need for the novices, agegroupers and elites alike. “The message we would like to convey is that we have a race in place for all.” msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

Little boy learns when not to call 911

Police resources stretched thin RCMP from A3 month suggested this city has the lowest number of officers per capita of any city in Canada.

Numbers from the local policing reports for last month indicate there

A sibling squabble over computer access is not a reason to call 911, a young boy realized this week after his 911 call prompted a police presence at his Glenmore home.

when he thought it was appropriate to call 911. “The youngster stated that 911 should be called when there’s a fire, when someone is hurt, or if a stranger wants to hurt them,” said Holmes. “After recognizing his error, the lad also made it clear that 911 shouldn’t be called when your sister won’t let you on the computer.” Police say adults also

“These kinds of calls can interfere with those who are trying to call in with legitimate emergencies.” When a 911 operator receives a call, they ask if it is life or death or a crime in progress.

The number of local employment insurance recipients appears to be on the decline, but that’s not necessarily a sign of a robust Kelowna job market. According to Will Gow, owner of employment resource centre CBD Network, Statistics Canada’s report that local EI recipients fell by eight per cent—to 3,460 in June 2010 from 3,760 in June 2009—could be misleading. “I can tell you, the gross number of people we get looking for work has not changed significantly,” he said noting the StatsCan’s EI figures are less telling than their labour figures. In the newest employment survey, StatsCan reported the Thompson Okanagan had an unemployment rate of eight per cent in July 2010, compared to a 9.5 per cent a year earlier. That kind of slow and steady strenghthening is what Gow sees from his office. “There’s been some growth, but there are still skilled professionals coming to the Okanagan, and looking for work. We also still have some company reorganizations going on,” he said. “It’s good news to have that dip, but EI numbers can go down for a number of reasons,” he said. Among them could be a recipient’s choice to go back to school, the de-

cision to take on part time work, or even the possibility that the a claim has run its course.

Little Wonder

Compared to the country as a whole, however, Kelowna appears to be in good shape.

Property market in Okanagan down but not out say experts Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Real estate enthusiasts may not be lining up to invest in local properties at the pace they once did, but Kelowna is still considered a good bet for those who have the means to part with some cash.

The Real Estate Investment Network released its list of the Top B.C. Investment Towns last week, analyzing the current and future prospects for real estate investments in this province. The 120-page report indicates the current market correction provides a

good opportunity for investors, but only in select areas of the province. In a list that ranks Surrey first, and Prince George 10th Kelowna came in sixth for its growing economic infrastructure. The report states this city serves as a trading

area for 450,000 people, and is continuing to attract business and recreational investment. Despite a slower real estate market, rental revenues are high, providing opportunities for investors. All in all, news that Kelowna’s considered among the Top 10 places to invest, came as no surprise to Brenda Moshansky of the Okanagan Mainland Real Estate Board. “Do I think it’s a good place to invest? Yes, I do. It offers so much,” she said, listing amenities, an international airport and the weather as bonuses. “It’s so diversified in what you can do. And when you are buying in the point in the market we are, you know that your investment will go up.

Real estate always goes up in the long range.” That said, Moshansky isn’t looking at the local market with rose coloured glasses and says the real estate crash that rocked the local economy has yet to fade into distant memory. July was a particularly tough month, as sales fell to 263 compared 463 at the same time last year. “It hasn’t picked up yet,” she said. “Our listing inventory is decent which is allowing buyers a lot more options and choices.” Those choices don’t only apply to the style of housing that’s coveted, they also apply to the prices available. Moshansky said while housing costs are no longer free-falling they have yet to completely stabilize, although that’s something she sees

in the offing as the supply of houses for sale is finally drying up. “The prediction is going into the fall we will see the inventory fall, which will take away some of the pressure,” she said. Running concurrently to Kelowna’s stagnant market conditions is the fact that the Vancouver housing market is starting to slow down. That’s something some have claimed could trigger more trouble for the Okanagan but Moshansky said she doesn’t believe that to be the case. In fact, we may have seen the worst of it, at long last. “The Okanagan markets fell sharply and didn’t rebound as quickly as other cities,” she said, highlighting Vancouver as an area that escaped this

downturn relatively unscathed. “We had a long prolonged downturn.” That downturn, she explained, had been reflected in unemployment rates and those are improving. This region had a 9.5 per cent unemployment rate for quite some time, and now the Thompson Okanagan is coming in at around 8.5 per cent. With that improving, discretionary spending may come back and that should buoy up the market. The Top BC Investment Towns report list: Surrey, Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows, Abbotsford, Kamloops, Kelowna, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Comox Valley, Penticton, Vancouver, Prince George and Vernon.

Clearer skies help with the search for plane Plane from A1 an abundance of independent searchers who were getting in the way. That said, crews have covered 14,000 square kilometers at least once, and some portions were hit two or three times, at varying al-

titudes. While searchers remain optimistic, the previous owner of the plane, Marc Whittemore offered some unpleasant insights into what pilot Rama Tello could have faced last week. By his estimates, the

plane would have been near maximum weight capacity with four passengers and that could have led to any number of difficulties. Especially when the weather is factored in. “Hot weather leads to what we call higher density altitudes, which re-

duces the lift capability of the wing in the airplane,” he said. “So, the result is you have a low climb rate, and high mountains just to the west of Penticton, and with some smoke in the air that inhibits visibility.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Despite pressure, HST not going anywhere

VICTORIA VIEWS

Tom Fletcher come tax in a world that’s quite happy to take away our industrial base. And make no mistake, scrapping the HST would be a mess, and a costly one. Vander Zalm’s petition calls on the government to reimburse “all British Columbians on a per capita basis” for any HST paid beyond what would have been charged by the provincial sales tax. I asked Finance Minister Colin Hansen what that might cost. He declined to speculate, except to say that it would be “administratively very difficult.” I’ll say. And the huge cost would of course be on top of repaying the $1.6 billion federal transition

Trial dates moved for accused traffickers Two men who were scheduled to go to trial next month on drug trafficking charges will now have to wait until spring for their day in court. Mark Zagar and Brent Nagy, whose trial was separated from three other co-accused, are now tentatively scheduled to go to trial in April. The September dates were adjourned because the men are awaiting a judge’s ruling in the other case, and the judge’s decision could impact Zagar and Nagy’s case, said Zagar’s lawyer, Kelly Christiansen. That other case—involving Margo Safadi, Thomas Fraser and Jason Herrick—is scheduled to return to court at the beginning of October. Meanwhile, Nagy and Zagar’s case will be back in court Monday to confirm the trial dates. All five are accused of trafficking cocaine from Vancouver to the Okanagan in the summer of 2006. During an investigation, police say they seized six kilograms of cocaine, 450 tablets of ecstasy, $72,000 cash and two vehicles.

fund. Then there are the rebates. If you are in the lower income range and were receiving quarterly GST rebate cheques from the federal government, you will now start receiving larger HST rebates. Vander Zalm’s petition neglects to consider those, just as it forgets about the hotel room tax that made way for the HST. If the HST is scrapped, the government could try to claw back all those low-income rebates. But since that would also be administratively difficult, not to mention politically suicidal, the government of the day would probably just let the provincial deficit grow some more. Our grandchildren can pay it back, if they can find jobs in B.C.’s uncompetitive tax structure. But hey, we sure would teach the federal and provincial governments a lesson. Contrary to the wishes of some HST haters,

Tapes reviewed in Kelowna restaurant robbery Police are examining surveillance video in the hopes of identifying who broke into a Kelowna restaurant on Sunday. Const. Steve Holmes said entry to the Yamato restaurant on Highway 97 North was gained through a window. A small amount of cash was taken, as was a computer. Anyone with information about this break and enter is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Chief Justice Robert Bauman of the B.C. Supreme Court did not endorse Vander Zalm’s petition, or determine whether any workable outcome can result from it.

‘‘

AND MAKE NO MISTAKE, SCRAPPING THE HST WOULD BE A MESS, AND A COSTLY ONE.

Bauman narrowed his ruling to get this political hot potato off his desk, and that of the much-maligned Chief Electoral Officer. He declined to consider whether Vander Zalm’s proposed legislation is constitutional, noting that it “may never be enacted in that initial form,” given that it could be amended or defeated in the legis-

lature. Even if it passes more or less as is, the proposed legislation only calls for B.C. to withdraw from its five-year HST agreement with Ottawa. The federal legislation to collect the tax would remain. “Whether that will lead to…the extinguishment of the HST in British Columbia remains to be seen,” Bauman wrote. The petition was formally sent to the legislature on Monday and the standing committee must convene its first meeting in September. It will have until December to debate the draft legislation that was included in the petition. Look for the B.C. Liberal majority on the committee to push through amendments, such as raising taxes to repay the $1.6 billion federal fund. Then we might find out where the NDP actually stands on this thing. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

ans of Bill Vander Zalm’s harmonized sales tax “extinguishment” petition were quick to gloat when the B.C.

The same reader scoffed at my argument of last week that scrapping the HST would result in a “nightmare of service cuts” in B.C. “If reversing the HST would be a mess, lay the blame where it belongs— at Gordon Campbell’s feet.” I guess if blame is all that’s important to you, this is sufficient.

Council agrees to support division of farm Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

An unusually large, chunk of Kelowna’s farmland will likely be divvied up into three separate plots of land, Kelowna council has decided. The property is three odd-sized lots, owned by one farmer who wants to reconfigure the lot lines to leave his children equal slices of the family estate pie. As the farmer has four

children, council heard he was initially requesting four separate properties be created, but compromised on three with city staff before presenting the plan. At 42 hectares, the farm is one of the larger parcels in the Okanagan, says the city and the plan is for two daughters to share one larger lot and two sons to inherit their own pieces. Councillors were tentative looking at the scheme.

Police are searching for a man who held up three fast food restaurants in five hours on Monday night. The robbery spree began at 7 p.m. when a man walked into the Tim Hortons on Highway 33

The farmer who works the land is now getting into the cider business, having recently invested significant money into rethinking his production. That didn’t stop some on council from worrying if dividing the land might lead to further erosion of the Okanagan’s agricultural growing potential. “Does this pose any concerns from the standpoint of what happens after this?” asked Coun. Charlie Hodge, eluding to

Second fiddle not for Potkins Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The greener pastures Taylor Potkins was looking for weren’t located in Kelowna after all. Disenchanted with a lack of playing time as the backup to Bobby Davis, the 20-year-old quarterback from Surrey has decided to leave the Okanagan Sun. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Potkins requested his release on Monday, two days after helping the Sun to a 50-0 win over the Huskers in Chilliwack. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Sun head coach Peter McCall said of Potkins’ departure. “He’s been hemming and hawing for a while about his role here, and I guess he just wasn’t satisfied. He asked for his release and we’ve granted it to him.” Potkins went into Sun training camp as a legitimate contender for the starter’s role, but faced the task of wrestling the job away from Davis, the Sun’s backup the previous two seasons. Davis didn’t falter and, by the second game of the regular season, had se-

cured his position as the club’s No. 1 man. As the backup, Potkins showed flashes in limited action, completing 11 of 17 passes for 196 yards and four touchdowns. Still, it wasn’t enough to keep Potkins in orange and brown. “I wasn’t happy because I wanted to get on the field a lot more than I did,” said Potkins, who played last year for the Surrey Rams. “I knew it was a really good team and I came there to do some good things, but I wasn’t able to do them. I guess you could say I was chasing a lost cause. They’re a great organization and I enjoyed my time there…it just didn’t work out.” Potkins said he’ll take a few days off to consider his future, but insists he wants to continue playing football. He admits rejoining his hometown Rams is at the top of his wish-list. As for Potkins’ brief stint in Kelowna, Peter McCall said the young QB might have benefitted from showing a little more patience. “Sometimes these guys don’t see the big pic-

The way Bobby (Davis) plays, the way he lays his body on the line, the chance

could come before you know it. It’s something (Taylor) might look back on and wonder about his decision.” With Potkins’ exit, Drew Jacobson, 19, moves up one full notch on the depth chart, from No. 3 to backup.

The 6-foot-2, 220 Brooks, Alta., native played last season with the Edmonton Huskies. “Drew’s pretty inexperienced, but he’s got a good arm and he’s an intelligent kid,” McCall said.

Warriors examine talent at intersquad game tonight Head coach and GM Darren Yopyk and his staff will closely scrutinize this year’s talent tonight (Wednesday) as the Westside Warriors hold their intersquad game at Royal LePage Place. Face off is 5 p.m. The game will bring to an end the B.C. Hockey League club’s 2010 version of training camp. Close to 40 play-

ers showed up for the beginning of the Warriors’ three-day camp on Monday, with 23 of those eventually being chosen for the team’s final roster. Westside has 12 returning players at camp. Yopyk will look for veteran leadership and production from captain Alex Grieve, and fellow forwards Grayson Downing and Tyler Krause. A num-

ber of newcomers will also help bolster the 201011 edition of the Warriors. “We have quite a few key returning players and some interesting new pieces as well,” said Yopyk, who added the GM’s portfolio to his head coaching job in the off

we’re looking forward to the season.”The Warriors added one new piece over the weekend, acquiring defenceman Matt Cronin from the Alberta junior league’s Drumheller Dragons. The 6-foot-3 Langley native played last season with the BCHL’s

Langley Chiefs. Cronin, 18, has already secured a Division I scholarship for the 2012-13 season at Merrimack College. The Warriors open the exhibition campaign this Friday, 7 p.m. at LePage against the Penticton Vees, then will travel to

Penticton Saturday night for a rematch. Westside will open the BCHL regular season Friday, Sept. 10 at home to the Vees. Penticton eliminated the Warriors in the second round of last year’s Interior Division playoffs.

GM Lorne Frey, the crop of 1994- and 1995-born players features some reasonably good quality. “We didn’t have a lot of early picks in the draft, but we feel like we’ve got some pretty good players coming in,” said Frey. “Some of the later picks are maybe a little more of the fly-by-night types, but you’re always hopeful some of those will turn out well. “As far as our 94s go,” added Frey, “we invited quite a few back that we here last year so that we can have another look.

number of them were certainly of interest to us and we want to give them another try.” Frey expects about 10 to 12 players from rookie camp will be carried over to main camp which begins on Tuesday, Aug. 31 and will feature about 70 players in all. Players born in 1995 are eligible to play in just five games with their WHL teams during the regular season, so all will be returned to their respective teams by the time camp and exhibition season is complete. “We usually try to keep some of our 95s around for a bit of main camp so they

can get a taste of the pace and a chance to be around the older guys to see how things work around here. It’ll help them adjust down the road.” Frey will be joined at rookie camp by 10 other Kelowna Rockets scouts who will watch the players in eight controlled scrimmages per day. The Rockets main camp runs from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. Kelowna will then play a home-and home exhibition set against the Vancouver Giants—Friday in Ladner, and Saturday, 7 p.m. at Prospera Place. whenderson@kelownacapnews,com

The newest rising star on the national triathlon circuit cruised through an early afternoon shower to win the 2010 edition of the Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon in Kelowna, her second Canadian elite title in three years. The 21-year-old Edmonontian completed the 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and 10 km run in two hours two minutes 38 seconds. Victoria’s Kirsten Sweetland was second in 2:03:25. Findlay is as hot as they come on the international triathlon scene this summer with three major wins in the last four weeks. She won ITU World Championship Series races in London and Kitzbeuhel, Austria before arriving in the Okanagan. Even after three consecutive victories, Findlay has trouble believing her good fortune. “I’m still so shocked every time I do well, it’s just a season I could never imagine, so I surprise myself every time,” said Findlay, who pulled away from Sweetland on the run after the two were neck and neck through the first two legs. “I knew it was going to be a hard race with Kirsten here and a lot of other strong runners, so it was not an easy win and I’m just very happy with it.” As for the reception Findlay received this weekend in Kelowna from organizers and spectators, she rated the Apple Triathlon second to none. “It was actually my favourite, this was the best run ever,” said Findlay. “So many people were rcalling my name, a lot of people knew who I was, that’s never happened to me ever in my life before, so it was just very, very encouraging to have all these great spectators cheering me on the entire run. It was really fun today.” Findlay will next be off to Budapest, Hungary where she’ll compete in the final world championship Sept. 12.

Heat women’s soccer ‘shaping up’ The UBC Okanagan Heat are on the right track heading into the new BCCAA women’s soccer campaign. The Heat posted a win and a draw in three games during the Alberta Cup preseason tournament over the weekend in Calgary. UBCO closed out the

event with a 1-1 tie against the University of Regina on Sunday morning. After falling behind 1-0 early in the second half, the Heat salvaged a tie with just a minute to play as Kelsey Satterfield scored on a pass from Holly Wollmann. UBCO opened the tourney Saturday with a

hard-fought 1-0 loss to the University of Calgary. On Saturday night, the Heat beat Mount Royal 2-0 on goals by Lindsey Briggs and all-Canadian returnee Alexa Kennedy. Keeper Sabrina Gasparac posted the shutout. “This was a good weekend of play against some strong teams out of

Kelowna Secondary product Shane Mudaliar found the back of the net on a throw in by Greg Karogiannis in the 70th minutes for the game’s only marker. Spencer Brown played the full 90 minutes for the shutout to preserve the win. The Heat will head to Tacoma, Wash. this upcoming weekend to play three U.S. schools in three days—the University of St. Martin’s, University of the Puget Sound, and Pacific Lutheran University.

HOME AND GARDEN ▼ GARDENING

How a reluctant putterer blossomed into masterful gardener Barbara Mahany CONTRIBUTOR

CHICAGO—Good thing for Janice Becker’s backyard, she swears she wasn’t so good in the mama department when her kids were babies. “I’m really a Type A. I needed to get out and do something,” she says of those long-ago years when long naps punctuated the endless hours of the day. She wandered no farther than the quarter-acre that surrounded the Deerfield, Ill., ranch house she had not set out to buy when hunting for a place to live back in 1983. What she and her husband, David Shaw, had wanted was a townhouse, a place with no yard whatsoever, because neither one of them had the least bit of interest in gardens. Ah, but all stories worth spinning have twists of plot, and lucky for that backyard plot—at the time a “massive pile of

buckthorn, and hawthorn and scrub”—Becker had had two babies. And, well, the putzing around in the yard just led from one thing to another: Becker, who walks the yard in Muck boots, with clippers at the ready, is now a master gardener, an avid volunteer at the Chicago Botanic Garden’s evaluation gardens. Nearly everyone who knows her birdhousestudded garden—from the non-gardening neighbor across the street to the dozens who pass by her busy corner each day —seems inclined to call it Botanic Garden West. Hers is not a garden upholstered in broad swaths of any few favourite plants, but rather it’s a petit point of one sumptuous something bumping up against another, a canvas of floral abundance. Only the garden knows how much grows within its borders, but it hardly seems too much to estimate that it’s a census in

the many thousands. “I’m just a plant geek, a real plant geek!” is how Becker bluntly puts it. To prove her point, she produces a three-ring binder that’s a good four inches thick. This is only one of three such binders, each one an alphabetical listing of every single plant ever planted in her ever-creeping plots. She records where and when she bought each specimen and where and when she planted it, what its real growing requirements are (never mind the labels that are often hit or miss). And should the poor thing die, she records its death. “The reason you garden,” she says, “is that it is the most positive thing you can do—you are always looking ahead. I never say, ‘Oh my garden looked great yesterday or last week.’ It’s always, ‘wait’ll you see what’s next.’ Yes, this is awesome but there’s always some-

thing great that’s just going to happen. It’s always looking toward the next season. That’s what you need to do in life.” Becker claims it was “a natural evolution” that transformed her from disinterested putterer to master gardener who tucks some 1,000 bulbs into the beds every fall, hauls countless wheelbarrow loads of leaf mulch every spring, and serves as the personal irrigation system, spending two-plus hours hand-watering every last thirsty plant or shrub or tree, wielding nothing fancier than five old-fashioned rubber hoses and her knack for knowing when and what needs a nice, tall drink. When she started gardening, Becker followed the nascent gardener’s timeline: Began with annuals, trod into perennials, dabbled with shrubs and trees. But 12 years ago, she signed up for master gardener classes at the Botanic Garden, and was

JANICE BECKER sits among the many flowers in her backyard garden in Deerfield, Illinois. then assigned to work in the evaluation gardens. “My plan was, very basically, to find the best and brightest at the Chicago Botanic Garden and volunteer for them,” Becker says. “And to indenture myself to them, which is exactly what I did.”

Martin King, formerly the manager of plant sales, and Richard Hawke, the garden’s manager of plant evaluation programs, are her two horticultural mentors. Clearly, she absorbed her teachers’ every lesson. To come around the bend into Becker’s back-

yard is to know that you have wandered into the well-loved plot of this plant collector who cannot be contained. “The fact that there’s any design at all is just because I knew what plant to put with what. There was no master plan. I just love plants, is all.”

Garden experts confounded by local blueberry growth

bout 20 years ago, I was asked by my friend Tom Daniel which blueberry varieties are suitable for our growing conditions in the Okanagan. It was his intention to convert some of his apple orchard to something else and he decided to try blueberries.

Don Burnett tempting it. Well, Tom and his wife Carol proved me wrong when they put about an acre into blueberries and subsequently harvested tonnage. I am not sure of the exact figures but the youpick operation did well for years until they sold the farm.

I believe the Lake Country farm is still producing to this day. Fast forward several years and Tom’s brother Robert and his wife Yolande have proven me wrong again. Robert converted much of his vineyard on McCulloch Road to blueberries a few yeas ago and the bumper crop they have this year is a sight to behold. This time of year each summer my wife Donna and I pick a few buckets for fresh use and the freezer and, I don’t know if Robert knows this, but more than a few berries

But for the warmer Okanagan climate, I suggest you stick with the larger fruited varieties like Duke, Jersey and Blue Ray. Don’t get hung up on any of these because there are several out there that are fabulous. The key to growing blueberries in the Okanagan is soil pH adjustment. Blueberries need acid conditions and they don’t care too much for our alkaline soils here so an annual applications of Tiger 90 (sulphur) is necessary.

Adults also need lessons on 911

t’s likely all in a day’s work for local RCMP officers when they receive an emergency call that turns out to be not quite as urgent as they had been led to believe. That was the case earlier this week when a five-yearold decided that law enforcement needed to be called in to deal with what he thought was an emergency—his sister not giving him a turn on the family computer. But while the incident

can be viewed as either an annoying waste of time for the police or an amusing incident in the vein of kids doing the darndest things, it’s good to see that someone so young knows what to do when help needs to be summoned. Now he just needs to work on what constitutes a real emergency. Questioned by one of the officers who responded to his 911 call, the young lad admitted that making an emergency call is

MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212

something that should only be done in the event of a fire, someone being hurt or if a stranger wants to hurt the caller or someone else. Knowing that is one thing. Knowing to actually pick up the phone and make the call is another. That’s pretty good for a five-year-old. But the lesson he learned about when not to call 911 is not just one only for children. Plenty of adults call the local emergency line every year with

what can only be described as waste-of-time issues. Like the little boy, they also need to realize the impact of their actions. The message imparted to the boy is one adults need to hear too. The emergency line is for emergencies and abusing it with frivolous calls simply endangers those who need to get through to report a real emergency. Knowing how to use emergency services like the 911 line and when that should be done is not child’s play.

He told this audience, who had paid Alaina Podmorrow is 13 years $100 a piece to listen, that Canadian old. Four years ago, when she was soldiers are second to none. 9, she heard a woman speak about During his speech, he talked about the plight of girls her age, girls half a

world away who struggled just to stay alive. Horrified and moved by what she heard, Alaina wanted to do something. Her idea was to raise money to pay for teachers to give girls her age in Afghanistan the education they had been deprived. What started as one girl’s plan to raise $750 to pay for one year of a teacher’s work, has now blossomed into an organization that has 15 chapters around the world and has raised more than $300,000 to help girls in Afghanistan. Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan is proof that it does not take a gun to help change the world.

As wonderful and inspiring as Alaina’s story is—and her achievement really is remarkable—she is not alone when it comes to reaching out and helping others. We see it every day in this city, in this country and around the world. Can we do more? Of course. But we should not lose sight of what is being done and we should celebrate it. When giving—both in time and money—becomes part of everyday life, it becomes part of the norm. Canadians like to pride themselves as a nation that cares, a nation that leads and a nation that helps those who need our assistance. But in recent years that has been called into ques-

tion by some. Maybe we are not doing enough. But with examples like the one Alaina Podmorrow has set, examples made by the young, Canada may be setting a better course for itself when it comes to helping those not as fortunate as many of us are. The term hero is bandied around too freely. While there are many types of hero, simply being good at what you do is not heroic. Putting yourself out, making a difference, changing the lives of others for the better— that’s what makes a real hero. And Alaina Podmorrow is exactly that. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Arts Picnic a big success Knox saved from fire To the editor: The Kelowna Art Gallery, Rotary Centre for the Arts and the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra are thrilled that over 500 people attended the Arts Picnic on Tuesday, August 10. Everyone enjoyed the community drumming circle, the variety of art-making activities, and the sensational music of the National Youth Orchestra, highlights being Shostakovich’s Festive Overture and Scherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov. The KAG, RCA and the OSO would like to extend a big thank you to all the staff and volunteers who helped throughout the evening, the artists for leading the visual art stations, emcee Alya Ramadan from CBC Daybreak, the musicians and staff of the NYO, all

the billet families for housing the young musicians, and of course all of the attendees for coming and supporting this event—enjoying the arts first-hand, live, and in person. We would also like to recognize Kelowna Community Resources for the financial assistance to support the international component such as the drumming circle, and activities that were accessible to a culturally diverse audience. The City of Kelowna, through its Cultural Services Branch, supported the event with a $10,000 project grant, matched by in-kind contributions from the KAG, OSO and the RCA. Shauna Oddleifson, marketing coordinator, Kelowna Art Gallery

To the editor: The Knox Mountain Park fire the night of Aug. 18 is another reminder to all users of this precious park to use caution during this period of extreme fire hazard. A thank you to fire fighters for their quick action in keeping this fire contained and below the Paul’s Tomb foot path. Over the years, The Friends of Knox Mountain Park society has worked with the City of Kelowna to help preserve this natural park. Friends of Knox Mountain Park have lobbied to increase the park’s size and security within it. As a result, there is a full time ranger in the park and special features such as Kathleen Lake are now protected within the Knox Mountain Park bound-

aries. The city has been proactive in conducting fire proofing activities and mountain pine beetle control within the park. The fire proofing no doubt helped fire fighters contain Wednesday night’s fire. The Friends of Knox Mountain Park continue to be vigilant in watching over the park and working with the city to ensure the preservation of this fragile, natural park. If you would like to help out or become a member of The Friends of Knox Mountain Park, please visit the website at www.knoxmountainpark.com.

Banks don’t dictate rates of interest paid To the editor: Re: Another Senior Who Feels Ripped Off by Banks, Aug 20 Capital News. Being an ex-bank manager I would like to voice my reply to the above subject.

I met one of these boat people who was working as a secretary, she was 34 and working at a menial type job and she told me while in her country where she was born her and her husband, along with many more, were given 12 hours to get out. Isn’t that lovely. I’m sure we would say, 12 hours, no sweat. He was a lawyer and she was a nurse, they owned their own home and each had a car. Can you even imagine (think real hard about this) someone telling us we have to be out by this time tomorrow, leaving all our toys behind? I don’t think so. She also told me they have to pay back everything the government spent on them and it isn’t easy as they work at low income jobs, unless they go back to school which costs them money. Her husband was working night shift at a garage parking cars. Is this any kind of free-

dom we would like if we had to vacate that quickly and live on a crowded, leaking boat with dying people around you. I don’t think so. It wouldn’t be my 150th choice, that’s for sure. You know it is funny, all the people I hear talking gut rot about sending the Tamils back, imprisoning them, we don’t want them here, all that silly crap, come from religious people. Yeah, ones who believe big time in God. Give me a break. As far as I am concerned Canada is a big country, if anyone from another country is persecuted or threatened, how can we have the nerve to send them back like the ship full of Jews (700), in 1939 in Halifax. The ship was turned around and sent back to Germany where most ended up in a concentration camp and death. What is wrong with the human race? How can

West Kelowna should ‘do it right’ To the editor: This is in response to Bill Miller’s letter condemning those individuals who agreed to the design of the new building going up to house our detachment of the RCMP here on the Westside. If Mr. Miller’s idea that a “basic building” is good enough for his money, cities around the world would look pretty drab. Can you image the White House being a “basic building?” What about the Taj Mahal? The CN Tower? The Emp-

ress Hotel? The Winter Palace in Russia? Not to mention the Pyramids of Egypt. The list could go on and on only because some people had the foresight to want more than “just basic” in life. We are creating a brand new city here on the west side of Okanagan Lake. Let’s do it right the first time so we can sit back and feel proud of our accomplishments in years to come.

Refugees contribute much to adopted Canada To the editor: I always wondered who puts the fear into us as a nation? Look at the Americans—they are virtually scared of their own shadow. Have someone mention Bin Laden and they cringe, wring their hands and look skyward for Superman—what a nation of wimps. I hope we, in Canada, never get to be like them. I lived in Toronto in 1987 when boat people arrived. There was no fear at that time of terrorists but concern—mostly from the religious gang. These “boat people,” like the Tamils, were treated one step above being a criminal. They were imprisoned in rooms with no bars but still unable to move freely. Food was from the nearest restaurant. Of course they must all be checked out but I don’t recall any being found above the law or being bad people.

capital news A25

anyone state they believe in God and think we are better than most, we don’t want their problems. A story was done two years later about the boat people arriving in Toronto and all had found good paying jobs, all were good citizens, none had gotten on the wrong side of the law and over 30 per cent of them had their own business and were employing Canadians. I will tell you one thing for sure, I would much rather walk down a dark alley knowing there were immigrants or Tamils at the other end than walk down the same alley knowing Canadians were there. I had the fortune to know my next door neighbors who came from Thailand. The family of four left because their 15-yearold son was eligible to join the corrupt army. Many of

his older friends who were forced to join at 16, were killed. Their story was sad and I would leave this country too if that was the way we were all treated. You should talk to an immigrant before you start sounding off. I hear some of these do-gooders on talk radio and they make me bloody well sick. I am a proud Canadian and love everyone who wants to come to this great country, not hate or fear them. What’s wrong with us, who do we think we really are? Come on folks, get a grip. We have it made in the shade, so let’s share. Think in the positive not the negative, you will feel much better. Wayne Harris, Kelowna

What is homeopathic medicine and why is it so effective is some cases?

have received many calls lately from people asking me what homeopathy is and how it works. I thought I would give you an overview of what it is and how it works. The word homeopathy derives from the Greek words homoios, meaning like or similar, and pathos, meaning suffering or disease. Homeopathy is a system of medical therapeutics for treating individuals based on the principle of similae or simile. The great homeopathic principle is (in Latin) Similia similibus curentur, meaning Let like be treated by like. What does this mean and how can it benefit the average person? Alternative medic-

FINDING REMEDIES

John Sherman al systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice, and often have evolved apart from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in North America. Homeopathy takes a different approach from conventional medicine in diagnosing, classifying, and treating medical problems. Key concepts of homeopathy include: • Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body’s de-

fense mechanisms and processes to prevent or treat illness • Treatment involves giving very small doses of substances called remedies that, according to homeopathy, would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses • Treat the patient, not the disease. This is the most important doctrine of homeopathy. No two individuals are alike, and so the medicines used for their treatment need not be alike. Homeopathic medicines are prescribed based on the totality of symptoms of that individual. Therefore, the name of the disease is not important to the homeopath

who tries to get a complete picture of the patient—his symptoms, what makes the symptoms better or worse, his likes and dislikes, his environment, etc.—to arrive at the individualized remedy, which is the similimum. The theory behind the working of homeopathy is that, within every human being, there is an energy called vital force, which regulates the functioning of the body. Due to factors such as heredity, environmental conditions, stress and so on, this vital force weakens, causing disease. Therefore, disease is nothing but a complex of certain symptoms observed in the human body. The homeopath makes a study of not only

‘‘

THE NAME OF THE DISEASE IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THE HOMEOPATH WHO TRIES TO GET A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE PATIENT.

Now, the medicine so prescribed would have caused the similar symptoms in healthy person in its crude form or in large doses.

This medicine is given in a highly diluted dose, to prevent side effects. This minute dose creates a similar disorder in the vital force and provokes the vital force to react to the symptoms and overcome them. This is not like vaccines, which use the same type of virus injected in small amounts into our system; this we would refer to as isopathic, meaning same suffering in Latin. Whatever criteria you may use, there is no doubt that homeopathy is much more effective than conventional medicine, but the sad fact is that homeopathy has lagged behind in popularity, due largely to the fact that it is not funded by government health care. Another key reason is that there are very few homeopaths practicing outside of large urban

centres. Homeopathy is a science and has its principles, which have to be adhered to in order to find the correct remedy (the similimum). Homeopathy has thousands of remedies from which to choose. In a particular case, choosing just one remedy is not so easy and requires the application of great skills on the part of the homeopath. In classical homeop- j athy, a homeopath will prescribe only one remedy at a time based on the symptom picture present. We do this in order to see the effects of the medicine and not to confuse the case; with too many remedies prescribed at once, we would be lost. John Sherman is a professional classical homeopath in Kelowna.

Dealing with dental disease problems in your beloved pets

any pet owners are concerned and disturbed by their pet’s breath. Oral hygiene has both medical and cosmetic significance. This week I will talk about what can you do to keep your pet teeth clean and improve its oral and general health. We brush our teeth at least twice a day in order to keep them healthy. Dogs and cats have teeth just like we do, and the same conditions that lead to our tooth and gum problems also occur in our pets’ mouth. Oral hygiene has perhaps been the most neglected aspect of pet health care. Research shows that 90 per cent of pets over two years of age have significant mouth disease and 50 per cent of them require immediate attention. Small breed dogs, such as Yorkshire Terriers, Toy Poodles, etc., are more prone to tartar buildup. Dental disease in pets goes beyond bad breath. Your pet can also be affected by serious oral health threats that can have an impact on more than just its mouth. When a dog eats, food, saliva and bacteria will stick to its teeth. This combination of food, saliva and bacteria is called plaque. The bacteria in plaque

produce toxins, which cause inflammation and breakdown of the gums and tissue surrounding the teeth. Inflammation of the gum around the teeth is called gingivitis. When plaque stays on the teeth for long enough, it will harden and turn into tartar also knows as calculus. Tartar allows more bacteria and debris to accumulate, which makes inflammation of the gums worse. If this process goes unchecked, the supporting structures of the tooth degenerate. This process is known as periodontal disease. The gums become separated from the tooth (periodontal pockets) a condition, which might lead to tooth abscess (formation of pocket of puss around the tooth’s root) and eventually to loss of the tooth. Dental diseases are causing pain and discomfort, bad breath, and bleeding from the gums. The dental disease significance goes way beyond the oral heath. A pet with an advanced oral disease is at risk of developing multiple medical problems because of shifting of the bacteria from the mouth to various internal organs through the bloodstream. Severe dental disease can lead to life threatening conditions. The main

target organs at risk are the lungs, heart, kidney, and joint infections. So what can you do to maintain good oral health of you pet? The best way to prevent tartar accumulation and gingivitis is daily brushing. You can use a baby tooth brush but I personally find that the easiest is to use pet oriented toothbrush that you can wear on your finger. You should always use pet toothpaste and not human toothpastes, nor salt, or baking soda. Toothpastes foaming action is irritating and all of these substances can cause illness if swallowed. Dental diet is also recommended to healthy pets that do not require special medical diet. Pets that are getting fed with canned food are more prone for dental diseases formation. I recommend avoiding giving cow’s bones to dogs for teeth cleaning because the bones can cause fractures of the teeth, ask you vet about dental treats and products. The best way to treat gingivitis and tartar accumulation is with a professional veterinary cleaning. This procedure requires general anesthesia. While a dog is under anesthesia, the teeth are cleaned and polished in the same manner that a

3-D film company zooms in on the Okanagan Valley Barry Gerding EDITOR

A California-based leader in developing 3-D filmmaking technology likes the potential that the Okanagan offers as a place to establish a manufacturing and filmmaking base in Canada. Eric Edmeades, who heads up the Kerner Group—a collection of innovative companies and divisions that provide creative services to the film industry—was in town recently to meet with local investors. His visit was a followup to a call for investors forum hosted by the head of the company’s Canadian division last month. Edmeades said Kerner has what he calls shortterm realistic business goals for branching into Canada, with longer-term objectives based around the anticipated growth of 3-D film production. There is much industry debate about whether 3-D is just a passing fad, hyped of late by the success of the technically groundbreaking and box office hit Avatar, or is truly another step in immersing movie watchers into a more real-life experience of watching movies or TV. For Edmeades, 3-D is a revisited direction for the movie and television production industry that faces a shortfall glut of content to fill the demand. A 3-D (threedimensional) film is one that enhances the illusion of depth perception. Derived from stereoscopic photography, a special motion picture camera is used to record the images as seen from two perspectives, coupled with special projection hardware and/ or eyewear used to provide the illusion of depth. 3-D films have existed in some form since the

‘‘

A DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY FOR A 2-D MOVIE CAN ADAPT TO USING OUR 3-D CAMERA VERY QUICKLY. EricEdmeades

That was where Edmeades came into the picture. As a semi-retired entrepreneur living in the Caicos Islands, personal connections with people involved in the fledgling company suggested he look at their business model. A Canadian who grew up in Halifax, Edmeades met with the company and realized that while the creative side of Kerner was developing excited new high tech services, the business side of Kerner was lacking direction. So he ended his retirement, invested in the company and now sees the company positioned as a leader in the development of the 3-D film industry. The reason for his excitement is based on his company’s development of 3-D camera equipment that he says surpasses

what’s on the market now for filmmaking efficiency and cost-saving economics. “We’ve been in development on this for the past four years and we are just now starting to showcase it to the film industry producers,” Edmeades said. While some producers and directors have complained about the complexities of using current 3-D camera equipment, Edmeades said Kerner has a prototype that can be set up for filming in 15 minutes anywhere, and operates under the same basic camera operating principles as 2-D equipment. “A director of photography for a 2-D movie can adapt to using our 3-D camera very quickly because the basic operating principles are the same,” Edmeades said. And to set up a manufacturing facility for those cameras, Kerner is looking to Kelowna as an ideal location to set up shop. The first step would be to establish an administrative office and a facility that could manufacture the camera equipment, an investment of about $2 million the company is trying to raise through local investors. The longer-term step would be to partner or be a tenant in development of a 3-D filmmaking studio to assist with Kerner branching out more into film production. For years, Kerner technical expertise has provided special effects for movies, Edmeades says, but now the company wants to branch out and invest that expertise into their own film projects. The first step is a 3-D production called Golden that will start filming in California this year. Edmeades compares See 3-D on B5

Edmeades said about 300 to 400 movies were shot in 3-D in the 1950s, but the costly processes required to produce and display 3-D film put a cap on its wider prominence. That Hollywood is revisiting this film genre has much to do with Kerner’s evolution as a company, as it specializes in film optic effects, a creation of Star Wars creator George Lucas, which he has since sold off.

parliamentary secretary Pierre Lemieux, on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, announced that the B.C. Wine Grape Council will receive up to $2.1 million to address challenges facing grape producers in B.C. by improving pest and disease measures and enhancing grape quality. “The Government of Canada recognizes that investments in agricultural research help Canadian farmers become more competitive and profitable,” said Lemieux. “Improved quality of grapes and a sustainable production cycle will help our farmers boost their bottom line.” Research will focus on enhancing the sensory and aroma qualities of grapes, and identifying new methods for the control of the two most prevalent grape pests, as well as disease management and water conservation techniques. Strong crops and a sustainable production cycle will help producers compete in the marketplace. “This support from the Government of Canada is very important in helping us to reach our goals of enhancing our sustainable practices and the overall quality of our grapes and wines,” said Hans Buchler, chairman of the B.C. Wine Grape Council. “We are very grateful for this funding which will help us to continue to adapt to a changing climate and changing pest and disease complexes, as well as responding to changing demands by the consuming public. Ongoing support for research in these areas by the federal government is critical for the success of our sector.”

Telling your story most accurately: Capital News

The grape and wine sector in B.C. has experienced tremendous growth in the last 20 years. In 2009, grape acreage measured close to 10,000 acres, with approximately 160 wineries in operation, most of them in the Okanagan. In order to remain competitive, producers are focusing on high quality products with low environmental impact.

The initiative is part of the larger Growing Canadian Agri-Innovations Program, a $158-million, five-year program that promotes industry-led innovation initiatives that help get new agricultural products into the marketplace and improve agricultural processes. Ottawa says in addition, to the Agri-Innovations Program, its Economic Action Plan supports agriculture as a core economic driver in Canada.

Plenty to ponder when taking directorship Innovative water model now in use W

hat does it mean to be a director of a company? A company doing business for profit is incorporated under the B.C. Company Act. Each province has its own act. According to the B.C. act, a company needs to have at least one director, unless it is a public company in which case it needs three. If the company is a not-for-profit enterprise, it is incorporated under the provincial Society Act. Although five people are required to form a society, the society only needs three directors to operate. If the number of directors falls below three for more than six months, then the remaining directors become personally liable for every debt the society incurs after the initial six months and for as long as the number of directors remains less than three. The rules for directors under the Society Act have been changed recently to resemble the rules and requirements under the Company Act. For example, if you are a director of a proffit-oriented operation, you may be required to purchase shares in that company. It is thought that by having a financial stake in the company, you may be more likely to carry out your duties of managing the company finances. This option exists in the Society Act. Paragraph 30 states: “A society may require a director or officer to give the security it considers sufficient for the faithful discharge of duties.” On the other hand, paragraph 27 in the Society’s Act also requires a director of a society who is, directly or indirectly, interested in a proposed

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka contract or transaction with the society to disclose “fully and promptly” the nature and extent of the interest to each of the other directors.’ What seems to happen on small not-for-profit boards is that one or two people are credited with the creation of the society and because of their significant investment into the affairs of the society, financial or otherwise, are not directors on the board because of the possible conflict of interest that could be perceived. This may also happen in an owner-managed, profit-based company that has a board. The reality with these boards is that the people with the significant investment also have significant influence on the board members and, in a lot of cases, recommend board members who will support or promote their interests. If the board does happen to make a decision that they do not agree with, they can refuse to follow it and then the board is forced to make the decision that will appease these influential outsider(s) or owner-managers. So then, the question is what is the purpose of the board? And how is the risk to the board members increased? The most obvious risk is the risk that due to the shortsightedness of the influential outsider, the society or company becomes insolvent and the board members may become liable for the debts of the society or company personally.

If there are employees of the society or company, the employees may be willing to work without a salary, but then the board members could become personally liable for the payment of the unpaid wages. The board members also become personally liable for the statutory deductions required for these wages.

‘‘

WHEN THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, BOARD MEMBERS CAN TAKE STEPS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION.

Another thing that seems to happen are board meetings outside of board meetings. What I mean is that a board member has an idea or a direction that he or she wants the society or company to take has meetings (lunch, golf or whatever) with some of the other board members (enough to create a quorum) and present his or her idea one-on-one to convince the other board members the idea is a solid one. It is also to get their commitment to vote in favour of the idea. In my opinion, this is simply bullying and totally negates the democratic process of the board. Each board member should be free to think about, and do, their own due diligence about an issue facing the board without being coerced or under duress. Finally, what I have seen in practice is that each board member does not have a defined position on the board. What happens in this case is that more than one person is doing the same

thing which is a lot of wasted effort and creates hard feelings between board members. The flipside is that other important items are being ignored. Also, it seems, the same board members tend to do most or all the work and they get burned out while the ones without a position are doing nothing and get bored. Both kinds of board member will eventually leave the board. Perhaps you can see the type of board that you sit on in one of these scenarios. When the problem has been identified, board members can take steps to correct the situation. Some of the duties of directors include providing strategic guidance for the organization to ensure tit has a direction that will help it to face future opportunities and challenges and to make sure any projects under consideration fall within the confines of the organization’s constitution. . It also has to ensure the organization has competent, trained and committed senior management. And it needs to ensure that sound financial practices and policies are followed that would in-

clude the selection of the annual auditor and the approval of the financial statements. The boar needs to ensure that the needs of all stakeholders are met, not just a particular group or director who are the loudest. . It needs to ensure that the organization is complying with its legal obligations such as government reporting and finally and make sure that each board member has a defined duty and responsibility. If a person is a director of a company, it would be prudent for the company to buy insurance for the benefit of the director against any personal liability that may be incurred. It would also be a good idea for each director to be thoroughly familiar with the Company Act or Society Act, as well as the constitution and by-laws that were set up at incorporation. It is also the duty of the board to provide all this documentation to new directors.

A computer model developed to determine the amount of water resources required for agricultural land in the Okanagan now and in the future is helping identify, develop, and protect longterm agricultural water supplies. “Strong partnerships and projects like this deliver real results for hardworking farmers that sustain both agriculture and water supplies,” said Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “Our government is pleased to have partnered with the government of British Columbia to ensure producers receive the technical and financial assistance they need to develop projects that provide secure, long-term water supplies.” “The agriculture industry is a significant water user in the Okanagan valley and that usage needed to be identified to examine the big picture of water resources for the area,” said Minister of Agriculture and Lands Steve Thomson. “The Agriculture Water Demand Model al-

lows data to be calculated so decisions can be made about water consumption on orchards and farms.” In 2005, the Canadian Water Resources Association conference held in the Okanagan identified the need to develop a water supply and demand model to determine how much water was available for use in the valley, what is currently being used and how much water was left to allocate. Since agriculture was the big water user in the valley, the Province determined that an agriculture water demand model (AWDM) would be integral to this project. The Province partnered with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to develop the AWDM prior to the start of the Okanagan Water Basin Water Supply and Demand study. The intent was to have a tool that could determine agriculture’s requirements and provide this information to the larger study and other users in the Okanagan. “The agriculture statisSee Water B4

The changing face of the entrepreneurial world is coming

s I submit my column each week, I find my thoughts quickly ramping up to the topical options for the next journey of an entrepreneurial story— an educational insight, a piece of new found information with an added smattering of anecdote. Eventually, I drift with intrigue and joy toward the visible changes surrounding my life as an entrepreneurially-minded person. This week, I feel less a columnist and more a reporter because I can’t wait to share with you some research concerning the changing face of the entrepreneurial world as it will evolve over the next 10 years. Tomorrow’s successful entrepreneurs will be far more reliant on technology than their current counterparts. They will be more connected in a mobile world, market to customers in ways only imagined today and blur the lines between the virtual and physical worlds as the hype surrounding today’s

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young technology becomes tomorrow’s reality. A study produced in 2007 in the United States really made me sit up and take notice of how technology will propel and transform the entrepreneurial and small-business sector. It will, it appears, offer us three key milestones to embrace—its changing façade, a dramatic rise in personal business and a dramatic emergence of entrepreneurship education. Here are some of the interesting items I extracted that I think will offer you much food for thought, no matter what your personal journey is in today’s world. Entrepreneurs in the next decade will be far more diverse than their

predecessors in age, origin and gender. These shifts in ownership will create new unforeseen opportunities for many and will change the face of our nation and even the global economy as we know it today. A new breed of entrepreneur will emerge. Entrepreneurs will no longer come predominantly from the middle of demographic spectrum but, instead, from the edges. People nearing retirement and their those just entering the job market will become the most entrepreneurial generation ever. Here is an interesting part that, frankly, doesn’t really surprise me at all— entrepreneurship will reflect an upswing in the number of females entering the field. The so-called glass ceiling that has limited women’s corporate career paths will send more women to the small business sector. I, for one, rejoice in that as, nationally, our sta-

tistics have, for a number of years, highlighted women successes in business start-ups. I found this projection interesting as I am currently dealing with three immigrant entrepreneurs who are moving to the Okanagan. But, the projection offers that immigrant entrepreneurs will help drive a new wave of globalization as there are those thoughtproviders that believe this new category of Canadian entrepreneur is the fastestgrowing segment of small business ownership. Time will tell on this point but I have developed an understanding of how this can occur. For example, immigrants are increasingly turning to entrepreneurship to steer around traditional barriers of entry to the workplace. Although they bring education, professional experience and a developed network to their adopted Canadian home, often their professional assets do not translate in value across cultural boundaries. But immigrant entre-

preneurs frequently have contacts in their native countries as well as Canada. This provides them with the opportunity to create entrepreneurial ventures that link markets.

‘‘

ENTREPRENEURS IN THE NEXT DECADE WILL BE FAR MORE DIVERSE THAN THEIR PREDECESSORS.

In his book, The World Is Flat, Thomas Friedman claims we’ve entered a new phase of globalization in that we are well into a new found power of individuals to collaborate and compete globally. With cross-border skills and contacts, immigrants with small businesses are leveraging the connective technologies to exploit links across the globe. That presents pretty

good reasoning for the surge. Also, whether out of need or personal fulfillment, baby boomers will be healthy enough and productive enough to participate in the workforce well past the traditional retirement age. Most will not want to work in traditional jobs. They will look for more flexible and part-time work arrangements. They will zero in on personal ventures and at times boomerang back to their previous employers as contractors or consultants. They will join firms aimed at social issues and build on hobbies that may evolve into entrepreneurial new ventures. And, there will be, I am sure, a tasting of what we might call accidental entrepreneurs who are the folks who leave closing factories and mills and are left with two choices— leave or start a their own business. Often these workers turn to contract work but, if there is not a market for their skills, they invariably turn to the world of entre-

preneurship. I find myself wanting to stand on the soapbox of entrepreneurial rhetoric and share these tidbits of insight into our changing world but let me conclude with this thought. The demographics of entrepreneurship are rapidly changing. Small businesses were traditionally started by non-corporate, middleaged, white males. But recent studies throughout North America show that aging baby boomers, Generation Y, women and immigrants, coupled with the skyrocketing of technologies, are joining the ranks to start small and personal ventures at increasingly rates. This dramatic change in the face of the entrepreneurial landscape, I predict, will undoubtedly become a boon to our socioeconomic existence. I hope to be around to enjoy it.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada provided $249,000 in CanadaBritish Columbia Water Supply Expansion Program funding and an estimated $250,000 of inkind support was received from various organizations. Since completion of the AWDM for the Okanagan the model has been expanded for use in the Nicola, Similkameen, Bonaparte and Salmon River watersheds. Landuse data is being collected in the Kettle Valley and Metro Vancouver to expand the use of the model in these regions in 2010.

Film technology has come long way 3-D from B1 the current 3-D craze to the revolutionizing of the film industry in the early 1980s by the home video craze. “Back then, the home video market took off and there was a need for providing content for video stores,” Edmeades recalled. “I see that same thing

happening again in the demand for 3-D content.” Edmeades points the investment made by big Hollywood players like Disney studios, Dolby Labs and Sony as signs of what the future holds. “Companies like that would not be making the investment they are making in 3-D if it didn’t make business sense,” he said. Edmeades added he

is not a fan of 3-D conversion of movies shot in 2-D formats, saying the growth of its popularity must be based on original productions rather than cheapened knock-offs. James Cameron, the director of Avatar, has echoed those sentiments. “After Toy Story, there were 10 really bad CG (computer-generated) movies because every-

body thought the success of that film was CG and not great characters that were beautifully designed and heartwarming. Now, you’ve got people quickly converting movies from 2-D to 3-D, which is not what we did. They’re expecting the same result, when in fact they will probably work against the adoption of 3-D because of an inferior product.”

This area could host a 3-D studio So what makes Kelowna an ideal site for a film studio? Besides the Okanagan Film Commission lobbying to bring more work to our region, Eric Edmeades said Kelowna offers many attractive elements to solicit more business.

There’s art in the composition of the composting soil Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

A few years ago, Dean Dack figured building an artistic composition out of compost sounded like a project he could really dig his hands into. So he created his masterpiece for the annual Mayor’s Environmental Expo and as he melded the different soils, clays and composts into a picture fit for the head of the city, he contemplated the importance dirt plays in our world. “If I could go to school somewhere and take a course on this stuff or teach somebody, I would,” he said, explaining how the micro-organisms churning away in our soil are really the building blocks of all life. Take a walk down Mayer Road, off Benvoulin, and you can see those tiny microorganisms at work. Dack’s regular art is all about creating the perfect fertilizer and he’s built test pile after test pile of the warm steamy stuff needed to keep local lawns, gardens and farms in business. Most of us don’t think about the actual physical earth that makes up our planet and how badly we need it to live, but Dack says his passion is ensuring people have food and the basic products needed to grow it. His life is basically dedicated to dirt and

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE the makings of a masterpiece to you? If so, Dean Dack, of Classic Compost, has a challenge for you at the fifth annual Organic Okanagan Festival. he’s got a healthy crop of barley to prove it. With purple flowers so abundant they seem to be coming out of his ears, he explains the barley will make a basic component for his fertilizer and ensure local farms won’t need near as much water to grow their crops. So, in an effort to share his wisdom, he and the people at the Okanagan

Green Society have come up with a challenge for the whole community. As part of the Organic Okanagan Festival next month, they are calling on local artists, creators and lovers of soil to come up with their own ingenious soil creations. It’s only the inaugural soil competition but the fifth year of the festival, which is held at Summer-

hill Winery with a film festival in the pyramid and all kinds of other vendors and shows on the grounds. “We really wanted to have an event to showcase healthy living and organic lifestyle…and there wasn’t anything that was really focused on organics and alternative medicine,” explained Angela Reid, one of the three cofounders of the festival.

The first year some 300 people turned out to the event and by last year over 1,000 descended on the winery, raising 720 pounds of food in donations. With Kelowna city councillor Reid on the organizing committee, the festival has decided to take

some of her political enthusiasm to the people this year and offer a new political space, dubbed Activism Alley, where nonprofits will be on hand to get the word out about their cause and political parties will be able to disseminate their literature. Lead organizer Wendy

Wright, whose full-time job (in addition to being a mother), is to run and organize the event, said the festival is completely unique within the Okanagan Valley. Not only will this year’s event be zero waste and sponsored by Bullfrog Power—which will pump the amount of energy used for the event back to the Kelowna power grid using wind turbine energy—but it offers a discount for students and includes a rare sighting of an environmental elf. Kiki the Eco Elf, as seen this year at the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival, will warm up the crowd with a performance at noon on Sunday. But if your heart is in the mud, like Dack, or the end of the summer party season has left you a little muddy on your environmental commitments, you might consider entering the soil art competition. For information on how to enter contact Dack at classiccompost@shaw. ca. or for information on the festival go to www. okanagangreens.ca. The Organic Okanagan Festival runs Sunday, Sept. 26 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Summerhill Pyramid Winery, 4870 Chute Lake Rd. Start planning your soil compositions now.

Exciting opportunities from BreakOut West Festival Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR

Only 57 more days until BreakOut West hits Kelowna with what will be the city’s biggest festival to date. BreakOut West, and the eighth annual Western Canadian Music Awards, is coming to town from Oct. 21 to 24. Presented in a different Western Canadian city each year, BreakOut West includes a three-day music industry conference, a three-night music festival, and two awards shows. A weekend wristband for the festival will be a mere $20—when was the last time you got to see

50 artists perform live for $20? This will be a weekend not to miss as well as one that will go down in Kelowna’s history books. BreakOut West is a place where the music industry gathers to celebrate, develop and support the best of Western Canadian music. Western Canadian artists are developing sustainable careers here in the west where they can use their home base for careers of national and international scope.

BreakOut West and the Western Canadian Music Awards will be viewed on a national basis as an integral component, not just of a Western Canadian artist’s development but perhaps more importantly, of the music industry as a whole. This is the first year running under the new name BreakOut West (the festival was formerly just known as the Western Canadian Music Awards or the WCMAs) and along with the new name come other new and exciting additions to the festival including MiniBreakOut West (familyfriendly and children-oriented showcase) along

with this year being the first in WCMA history to have the Sunday night awards ceremony televised on CBC Television. Another exciting first for BreakOut West is that the festival will be offering 10 student applicants (16+ years of age) exploring or beginning a career in the music industry an opportunity to attend all three days of the conference as industry delegates. Chosen applicants will be able to take part in all conference workshops and sessions, learn the ins and outs of the industry and rub shoulders with musicians and industry professionals from across Canada.

This is a fantastic opportunity for young adults who have dreams of making it in the music industry, whether it be as a musician or an industry professional working behind the scenes. If you or someone you know is interested in being a youth delegate for the festival, visit www. breakoutwest.ca/conference for registration details and requirements. As is with any large scale event, there are many volunteer opportunities available in every aspect of the festival—conference, showcases and awards ceremonies. The experience that one gains from being part of Break-

Out West is invaluable for anyone looking for an intro to the music industry. If you are interested in volunteering for the festival, visit www.breakoutwest.ca/kelowna-2010/ volunteers for more information and for registration details. Nominees for the Western Canadian Music Award have already been announced and can be viewed at www.breakoutwest.ca/awards but the anticipation is still building regarding the artist lineup announcement for the three-night music festival. Unfortunately for now you’re just going to have to sit tight and wait as the line-up (along with tick-

et purchase info) won’t be announced until after the Labor Day weekend. Stay glued to the BreakOut West website (www.breakoutwest.ca) and watch for my upcoming columns because I’ll have all the juicy info on the biggest and most exciting music event to hit Kelowna to date. Pyper Geddes is the assistant manager at Habitat in downtown Kelowna. pyper@thehabitat.ca

At the risk of ruining the surprise, visitors to our current Dysfunctional Chairs installation in the Kelowna Art Gallery’s Rotary Courtyard space will miss seeing the works of art if they do not look up.

At first glance, the courtyard space appears empty, with only the small fountain and green climbing ivy interrupting its serene openness.

ON VIEW

Liz Wylie Only if a visitor’s peripheral vision happens to catch a glimpse of colour at the roofline will he or she look up and see the five larger-than-life sculptural figures lounging around the roof, with their legs dangling down into the space. This is the response

of artist-duo team Trevor Mahovsky and Rhonda Weppler, who are currently based in Vancouver, to our commission of a Dysfunctional Chairs project. At first one might think that, yes, perhaps the most dysfunctional chair of all would be to not have a chair. In fact, however, this is not a oneoff gesture on the part of Mahovsky and Weppler, as they have been considering absence and the notion of the void for some time in their work. Titled, The Searchers, after the 1956 Hollywood film by John Ford, their work for this installation calls to mind a famous framed sky scene in that movie. The sculpted figures also form a parallel to the posse (who are searching for some-

one) in the film, but also call to mind cherubs and putti cavorting around the ceilings and upper walls of Baroque churches and palaces. One viewer has perceptively written on the comment sheet that it feels as though one is in a gladiator pit. Actually, the high positioning of the figures does change our own perception of ourselves in the courtyard space. The Kelowna Art Gallery’s Dysfunctional Chairs series was launched in 2009 in response to a comment made by a former curator at the gallery, Ihor Holubizky, that in the Gallery’s entrance hallway we have a giant bell that cannot ring (it is made from wicker) and

a pendant boat sculpture that cannot float (made from twigs). So, we needed a third item and the idea of a chair that cannot be sat upon came to mind. The series gives the gallery an further opportunity to commission works of contemporary art, and to support and promote the work of contemporary Canadian artists. Each show is accompanied by a black-andwhite illustrated brochure, on the back of which is a thumbnail photographic archive of the run of previous Dysfunctional Chairs. These brochures are free to the visiting public. The Searchers is on at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Sept. 26. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery.

Dixie Chicks score Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; DIXIE CHICKS: ESSENTIAL (COLUMBIA)

Sometimes these so called â&#x20AC;&#x153;essentialâ&#x20AC;? collections are just short and illconceived budget cash grabs for artists and their recording labels between real studio albums. Such is not the case with this superb 30-song two-CD set that was sequenced and selected by the Dixie Chicks themselves. After the huge controversy of the gals criticizing the Iraq war (OILâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Operation Iraq Liberation) the Dixie Chicks were savagely attacked by the right wing media and the conservative country music industry where radio even blackballed them. So the sequencing of this album is of consequence with the ladies opening with the back to back spit and vinegar hits Not Ready To Make Nice and The Long Way Round. After this they place a nurturing love song with Easy Silence, a philosophical song with Everyone Knows and a poignant narrative with Trav-

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell elinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Soldier. But what really strikes home with this brilliant anthology is the continuous high standard of the material and superb musicianship that is highlighted by exceptional lyrics. Essential is a joy from pillar to post and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for a new studio album that is so far already four years in the making. Note: This set will almost certainly be a point of purchase item situated right beside the cash registers of many retail outlets. Definitely scoop a copy as Essential has virtually every Dixie Chicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hit. A

Dangermouse, aka Brian Burton, and Sparklehorse, born as Mark Linkous, teamed up to write all the music for Dark Night Of The Soul. They then shipped the backing music off to a wide variety of other artists to supply lyrics and vocals. There are too many big stars on Dark Night Of The Soul to mention them all but there is unanimity of theme and intent here with constant melancholy, moody and downright depressing songs. Mr. Sparklehorse Linkous will now only be sparkling with the stars of the firmament after committing suicide, and you can hear why on this oppressively dark and moody album. The opening song, Revenge, is leavened somewhat by the quirky artistry of the Flaming Lips but the rest of DNOTS is compulsively melancholy. Dangermouse is prob-

ably best known for his smash hit collaboration with Cee-lo a few summers ago and the infectious Crazy. But if you are looking for a real pig wallow of dark-hearted songs you can sing along with the likes of Suzanne Vega, Iggy Pop, Black Francis, Julian Casablancas, David Lynch and Vic Chesnutt who incidentally also gave up the ghost after his dark contribution. Lou Reedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Berlin and Pink Floydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dark Side Of The Moon are generally regarded as the two most depressing rock albums of all time but DNOTS makes them sound like gigglefests. C-

The band was soon opening for the likes of Sam Roberts, Stars, the Arkells, Dragonette, etc. Moreover, Sweet Thing caught the attention of the mighty EMI label who shipped the group off to California to record with producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, The Vines) and record this delightful self-titled debut album that bristles with fresh sounding pop rock and power pop. Sweet Thing are true classicists and you can hear that in their opening song Change Of Seasons that teases with a U2 Edge-ish guitar foiled by some Lou Reed Walk On The Wild Side bass lines. The rest of this disc offers breezy and summery pop rock that calls to mind Bee Gees-like harmonies on Lazy Susan, while my fave track, Lorraine, sounds like a new millennium Loving Spoonful meets the Turtles. A band to watch for as Sweet Thing will undoubtedly tour the nation to boost this energetic listener friendly album. B bwcmitchell@shaw.ca

Goodbye Beatdown

in the largest circulation class

Named by the CCNA as Best All Round Newspaper in Canada

The Langley-based quintet Goodbye Beatdown come back to Kelowna on Friday, Sept. 10. These boys manage to bring the best elements of a summer party to the stage all year round, with their infectious blend of hip-hop, rock, soul and reggae. Vernon’s Poor Little Rich Girl will start off the night and with their hardhitting riffs and danceable grooves; a dance party is sure to ensue. Goodbye Beatdown issued their debut independent EP Whatchagwando late last year. Featuring lead track The

Grudge, mixed by legendary engineer Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica, Bryan Adams), it’s an effort that has commanded both critical and fan adulation for blending reggae with urban hip-hop and driving the whole ordeal via an underlying rock/ pop motif. From their summertime in a bottle single Whatchagwando being featured on Shaun White’s multi-million selling skateboarding video game, to being selected to perform as a part of the 2010 Winter Olympics, arena shows and festival dates with di-

verse artists including Finger Eleven, Sean Kingston and Sam Roberts and feature rotation on more than 20 national radio stations, Goodbye Beatdown is taking over the world of Canadian rock with their uniquely varied, engaging and inimitable sound. Tickets for Sept. 10 are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Advance tickets are available at estore.thehabitat.ca, The Bakery Boardshop & Lounge, Leo’s Video and at Tweaked and Yummy Vintage Apparel. Doors open at 8 p.m for dinner with the show kicking off at 9 p.m.

Rooney plans to put on a show Mickey Rooney, whose personal motto is “Don’t retire, inspire!” is celebrating his 89th birthday with an international tour of his and Jan Rooney’s Musical Let’s Put On A Show! The show is an autobiographical musical, highlighted with film clips, humor and anecdotal memories, which enjoyed a successful run Off-Broadway in New York and also played in London’s West End. Rooney is excited to share the stage with his wife of 31 years. Drawing on a rich 80-plus year

Mickey Rooney career, the musical numbers are broad ranged and are taken from Rooney’s films, as well as some original tunes and Jan’s vast repertoire, including her tribute to Patsy Cline. Additionally, the show

features a moving tribute to Rooney’s famous co-star from his days at MGM, Judy Garland, all accompanied by on stage trio. For two hours, Rooney takes fans on a tinselhung trip to Hollywood in its heyday, back to the era when Andy Hardy films made him the world’s No. 1 box office star. Gleaned from 81 years of show biz memories, a nonstop cavalcade of heartfelt anecdotes pours out, classic songs (backed by a three-man combo), cornball jokes (“I’ve been married so many times…”)

and film clips that range from National Velvet to The Black Stallion. Along the way, the Brooklyn native recalls everything from his short-lived marriage to Ava Gardner and lifelong friendship with Judy Garland to his Second World War service and earning of a Bronze Star—never mind an Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody. Let’s Put on a Show is at the Kelowna Community Theatre, 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10. For tickets call 250-762-5050 or selectyourtickets.com.

A family is lucky to be alive after escaping a house fire in Naramata. “The family, they just managed to get out with the clothes they had on their backs—the wife, husband and two kids,” said Naramata Fire Chief Grahame Baker. “The family was sleeping and heard crackling and banging and woke to the smoke, grabbed the kids and got them out. There was a boat to the side of the building and he had just fueled it up so he hooked onto that and dragged it out quickly, it was a good move.” The call came in around 11:43 p.m. on Thursday night and with the winds whipping fire crews could only attack the blaze from the exterior and work to ensure houses around the 15 Robinson Point residence also did not catch fire. “It was fully involved, the whole thing was going up. It was just a big ball of fire,” said Baker of what the scene looked like when fire crews arrived. Renee Matheson, owner of Robinson Place Bed and Beach, said her dog Zoe, a German Shepherd, woke her up by barking frantically. Robinson said she could smell smoke and when her dog continued to bark she looked outside. “I looked out and saw flames and a rain shower of embers,” said Robinson. The woman then ran to her neighbours house, who lives directly beside the now fully engulfed residence, where an elderly male lives to make sure he was ok. After finally getting his attention to open his door she said they almost got trapped in the house as a thick fog of smoke entered. Two other neighbours picked up the elderly man and carried him to safety through the smoke and flying embers. Robinson was thankful to the group of neighbours who also came to help the nearby homes. She said about 10 people stood on her roof with buckets, pails and hoses flushing water onto it to put out embers and hotspots. Penticton Western News
