Rutland’s future goes on display at open house Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Rutland residents will get a chance today to weigh in on infrastructure plans some say could offer what’s needed to help the community out of a rut. “We’ve been waiting for this for five years,” said Mary-Ann Graham, president of the Rutland Residents’ Association, of the pedestrian, transit and road plans being shown to the community Aug. 25. “We need a catalyst to get the uptown Rutland business core revitalized, and transit is one of the ways to do that. We’re stagnant right now, and it’s sad.” Investments in new pedestrian, transit and road infrastructure have been approved for 2012 to the tune of $3.7 million, said city project manager, Andrew Albiston, explaining funding includes $1.4 million from the Federal Gas Tax, $1.1 million from the Province of B.C. and $1.2 million from the City of Kelowna. Dollars will be dedicated to enhancing transportation modes while creating a strong pedestrian network and transit service in the Uptown Rutland’s inner core, he said.

Graham said she hopes their ultimate completion will create a reason to “live, work and play” in the community, and allow residents to be less reliant on other retail hubs outside the Rutland core.

‘‘

WE NEED A CATALYST…WE’RE STAGNANT RIGHT NOW, AND IT’S SAD.” Mary-Ann Graham

“We need to build it up so people don’t have to go to Orchard Park mall,” she said, adding the economic downturn halted a period of growth and discouraged investment. Residents and businesses are encouraged to drop by to view the plans and provide input, with city staff on hand to answer questions. The open house will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. Aug. 25 at Rutland Centennial Hall, 180 Rutland Road North. Visit kelowna.ca/ cityprojects for more information about the plans for Rutland.

WEST KELOWNA’S crackdown on speeders appears to be working, as more tickets are now being issued to lead-footed drivers who are caught speeding through the municipality. The hiring of two traffic “reservists” is being credited with the success.

▼ WEST KELOWNA

Curbing the local driver’s need for speed Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The District of West Kelowna council’s investment in slowing down drivers seems to be paying off. In March, council decided to beef up its traffic enforcement by contracting two traffic reservists—retired RCMP officers seeking additional work—to patrol different areas of West Kelowna for a total of 1,200 hours. The total cost of the

additional enforcement is $48,600. The result has been more vehicles getting pulled over and a dramatic increase in fines. From March 4 to July 30, a total of 814 additional violation tickets were issued. Those tickets were mainly handed out for speeding, not using a seat belt and using an electronic device while operating a motor vehicle. Additionally, 245 notices and orders were

issued for vehicle defects or deficiencies. And the traffic calming isn’t finished yet. As of Aug. 11, the enforcers had worked 28 per cent of the hours contracted. Over 860 hours of enforcement remain and the retired RCMP officers are planning a fall blitz, where multiple reservists will be deployed for an extreme clampdown on traffic violations. An average of 28 drivers were stopped per shift

this spring and summer by the traffic patrol. This is a sizable increase compared to the one or two drivers stopped by a general duty member of the RCMP on average per shift. The reservists, who concentrate solely on traffic enforcement when they are on shift, patrol the entire West Kelowna area and set up traffic enforcement in all neighbourhoods that are known for speed-related issues. When on shift, the reservists will often set up

in multiple locations. They also often use an unmarked vehicle to address electronic device use, intersection issues and driving without due care. Sgt. Duncan Dixon of the West Kelowna RCMP said that he is comfortable stating that the traffic calming measures have had an impact towards traffic speed in a positive way. The West Kelowna district has paid $13,729 for the services so far this year.

Hands on learning helps kids enjoy Kelowna’s museums Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Jennifer Ferguson is getting ready to head back to school. Technically speaking, she’s already graduated from an anthropology program with a university degree. But, as a volunteer docent at Kelowna Museums, this September she will once again return to the classroom—though this time she won’t be hitting the books. “It’s really nice for students to have experiential learning time,” explained Michelle Harvey, who runs the five Kelowna Museums education programs. Ferguson and four other dedicated docents help her give students from all over the Central Okanagan School District a different perspective on everything from the local bat population to military history and the medicinal plants that grow on the hillsides; and they do so in the most hands-on way possible. “All of the programs are curriculum-based, so they meet certain learning outcomes,” said Harvey. “We do the programs at the museums and we also take them out to the school, but the focus is on hands-on learning.” Each program begins with a discussion about the museum, what it does

Jennifer Ferguson for the community and how it enriches the cultural life of the valley. From the Okanagan Military Museum, to the Orchard Industry Museum, B.C. Wine Museum, Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame and Heritage Museum, the collections run valleywide and now have a 75year history in the area. Yet many don’t realize the breadth of the museums’ work. Introducing students to what’s available at a young age gives them an additional resource for learning about their community and opens new angles to learn the information contained in their textbooks. Popular programs like Night Wings, which looks at owls in the region, give students time to explore the taxidermy owl specimens, for example, and learn about the natural history of the area while holding a once live owl and dissecting owl pellets brought in from a Lower

Mainland sanctuary. “At first, I thought it was going to be creepy,” said Ferguson, who admits she wasn’t sure of the taxidermy portion of the program. “But it’s really not and the kids really, really like it.” Ferguson connected with the docent program at the volunteer fair hosted inside the Parkinson Recreation Centre every September by Kelowna Community Resources and says the experience has been exactly what she was searching for to help her connect with the community. “I like everything about it,” she said. “I like the fact that I get to work with all different kids from all the different schools. I like being an ambassador for the museum itself. And I like the fact that I’m using what I went to school for.” The museums have four other volunteer docents like Ferguson who deliver 25 programs. In addition to the owls, the small animals programs break out a stuffed rabbit, chipmunk, squirrels, a bat and two weasels to the younger students’ delight. This year a new program will show off the lives bees now flying in and out of a hive at the Laurel Packinghouse’s Orchard Industry Museum.

SERENA ANFUSO dissects an owl pellet during a Night Wings program at Kelowna Museums. And one of the stronger programs for the high school age-group—focusing on military history— will bring retired social studies teachers and veterans into the classroom for a survey of local military history. Ask Harvey which program is the most popular and she will say that the dress-up version of pioneer Susan Allison’s life on her homestead (located on what’s now Quails Gate Estate Winery) has

been a huge hit since the beginning. There are programs which don’t get as much attention, though, and many of them are very successful when the docents get to deliver the material. Ethnobotany, for example, is largely under utilized, according to Harvey. Students get a chance to learn about the various sages and roses and lavenders growing in the valley,

and often pick up some of the details of how the area developed along the way. Rose hips, a small red berry, grow abundantly in the area, and were chewed by the first European settlers to ward off scurvy on the journey over, she said, while lavender can ward off insect bites. Whether pulling apart the old orchard machinery or surveying the museums’ ancient Egyptian artifacts, a day at the museum will likely prove an

intriguing part of most Central Okanagan students’ school program this year. Teachers are already booking classes, but the museum could use some more volunteer docents to do more research and help teach the programs.

Quick-acting cops move in to prevent a possible shooting Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Just over a week after Kelowna was shaken by a brazen gangland slaying, local Mounties thwarted a potentially violent act by a member of a known criminal organization. The episode played out

G IN H C RI N E

at around 2:30 Wednesday morning, when police were called to deal with a man causing a disturbance on Bernard Avenue, between Doc Willoughby’s and the Royal Anne Hotel. Once there, police were told by witnesses that the man—since

identified as Edmonton gang member Grant Victor David Lewis, 29, had allegedly been standing on the sidewalk with what appeared to be a handgun in his pants pocket and his shirt pulled up over the lower half of his face, seemingly waiting for a confrontation.

“The (man) stated he was waiting for someone to come out of a bar,” said Staff Sgt. Terry McLachlan. “(He) had been involved in an altercation with some other patrons inside earlier.” Witnesses said the man departed in a white

SUV, but RCMP members soon found it parked across the street and the man was located. Lewis, 29, was taken into custody and a loaded .45 calibre handgun was seized from the SUV. By Wednesday afternoon, he was in court for charges of possess-

ing a weapon for dangerous purpose, possessing a prohibited/restricted firearm with ammunition, possessing a firearm contrary to an order, occupying a vehicle in which there is firearm and knowingly possessing a prohibited weapon without licence. He’s still in cus-

tody and will appear back in court Aug. 26. McLachlan said Lewis is affiliated to an organized crime group, which, although not identified, is likely to be unfamiliar to those outside Edmonton. See Gangs A5

funeral from Toronto. There will be a book to send condolences to Layton’s family and pictures of his visit to Kelowna. “This is not only for New Democrats, this is a time for everyone to come together to celebrate and mourn a life that ended far too soon,” said Karen Abramsen. Layton’s funeral is expected to start 11 a.m. Pacific time.

Abramsen said she expects many people will want to join the celebration of Layton’s life here and pay tribute to a man she said, even in his final hours, was thinking of others in the struggle for his own life. Two days before he died, Layton penned a last letter to Canadians urging them to carry on with hope, optimism and love.

Bank robber headed to jail Kristi Patton CONTRIBUTOR

A man who went on a two-week bank robbing spree in the Okanagan and Lower Mainland was sentenced to three years and 10 months jail time in Penticton Supreme court on Tuesday. Justice William Ehrcke said victim impact statements from two of the bank tellers Christopher Swain robbed in 2009 outlined the deep impression it left with them. Ehrcke said Swain relied on threats of violence in his notes to get the money. “Two of the tellers he robbed dramatically revealed the severe impact these offences had, compromising their work and general well being,” said Ehrcke. The court heard Swain was on day parole, from a 2008 robbery, in order to attend a narcotics anonymous meeting but failed to return on curfew.

Instead, Swain went to Vancouver Island where he started a romantic relationship and in 2009 the couple went on a road trip to the Interior. Swain first robbed the Vancouver City Credit Union in Mission on March 31, 2009 pushing a note in front of a teller demanding $5,000 in $50 bills and that he had a gun. When he received the money he moved to the next wicket where Swain robbed a customer of $2,300. On April 6, 2009 Swain presented a note at the Bank of Nova Scotia on the 400 block of Main Street in Penticton fleeing the scene with $1,400. Later that same day, he went into the CIBC on Harvey Avenue in Kelowna presenting a note ordering $4,000 and no die packs with “I don’t want to kill you but I will,” also written on the piece of paper. The teller gave Swain $1,800 and when

More sheriffs are on the way Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The province is hiring and training 36 new auxiliary sheriffs—three of whom will be stationed in Kelowna—in a move expected to help avoid further trial delays from insufficient courtroom security. It represents a net increase of 30 sheriffs over and above the government’s commitment in June to restore the hours

of auxiliary sheriffs that had been cut in May. This spring’s reductions, equivalent to the loss of 34 full-time positions, and coupled with a shift to a system of roving on-call sheriffs, prompted several judges to raise safety and security concerns and postpone trials. Acting Attorney-General Shirley Bond said the new recruits should be on the job by December and will “help minimize the risk of court delays re-

ges. Justice Ehrcke sentenced Swain to six years giving him credit for time in jail while awaiting trial, leaving Swain with three years and 10 months remaining to serve behind bars. The 33-year-old will also be under a lifetime firearms ban. Ehrcke said Swain has 25 prior convictions and has spent much of his adult life incarcerated with much of it having to do with being addicted to heroin. Swain choose not to say anything for himself, rather his lawyer told the court that he is someone “who accepts responsibility” by pleading guilty before the matters went to trial by jury. The defence lawyer also told the court Swain’s release plan is to move to Alberta and find work in the oil patch.

he discovered the die pack he threw it back at her and took the money. Swain returned to Penticton on April 11 to the second Bank of Nova Scotia location in the city, once again presenting a note demanding $5,000 but fleeing with $3,900. RCMP eventually tracked Swain and his girlfriend down at a hotel room in Maple Ridge were they found hoodies like the ones described that the bank robber was wearing, a note and an unloaded “Chinese handgun and magazine” in the vehicle the pair were travelling in. Crown council Sarah Firestone and defence Jordan Watt put in a joint submission on sentencing calling for six years on four robbery charges and knowingly possessing a firearm without a licence.

Provincial officials contend the gap will be less than half as big as the union claims.

Purdy said sheriffs wages top out at $54,000 a year and many leave for higher-paying law enforcement jobs with the RCMP or Transit Police. Fifteen of the new recruits will serve in the Lower Mainland. Victoria will get five and Prince George and Kelowna both get three; Fort St. John and Nanaimo each get two; Smithers, Cranbrook and Campbell River get one each. Bond said the government plans to recruit a second group of new sheriffs starting in January.

Latest gun incident not releated to Bacon murder, say RCMP Gang from A3 There is an existing warrant for Lewis there. Since the Wednesday morning press release, people speculated the incident could have ties to the Aug. 14 daylight murder of B.C. gangster Jonathan Bacon. That type of thinking, said Const. Steve Holmes, would be mistaken. “There’s no indication

that this is in any way involved with last week’s incident,” Holmes said. “If you go into past years, it’s not that uncommon to be dealing with offences like this in Kelowna, in the summer.” Last weekend’s shooting, however, is beyond the pale, Holmes conceded, adding there’s been no arrests made in that case. Since then, however, arrangements for the for-

mer head of the Red Scorpion gang moved ahead, according to another Black Press paper. A private viewing of slain Abbotsford gangster Jonathan Bacon was held Friday afternoon at Henderson’s Funeral Home in Langley. It was announced discretely, and there were about 30 friends and family in attendance. The funeral home’s management

said it has received no information about a funeral for Bacon, and suggested the family may conduct a private ceremony. It also would not confirm reports Bacon’s body has been cremated. Few details of the other four victims in last week’s shooting have come to light, although passenger Leah HaddenWatt, 21, was left paralyzed after a bullet went

through the Porsche Cayenne she shared with Bacon and the others, and shattered a vertebra. Her

friend incurred non-life threatening injuries, while Hells Angel Larry Amero was left in critical condi-

State funeral a fitting send-off

anada will get a last chance to say goodbye to Jack Layton on Saturday when his televised state funeral is held in Toronto. The late NDP leader, who took his party to official Opposition status, is being afforded an honour few receive. And most people, regardless of political stripe, appear happy that such an exception is being made for a man who touched Canadians in a way few politicians in recent memory have. “Smiling” Jack, as he was

known in some circles, managed to connect with Canadians, especially young Canadians, in a way his political rivals failed to do. Despite the fact he was in his 60s and many of the people who ran for his party and supported it in the last election were less than half his age, Layton was credited with inspiring them to get political. With Layton it was clear that he not only talked the talk but he walked the walk—albeit with a limp during his last campaign

after hip surgery. With some politicians it’s clear they listen to voters because they want the votes. With Layton you had the sense it was much deeper than that. A pragmatic politician, yes. But also someone who genuinely cared about Canadians and what they had to say. In his case, what he said was not always popular at first but in the end was often adopted by those in power. Over the years Layton seemed to mellow with age. But

those who knew him say he continued to burn with a fire inside to press for a myriad of reforms and for social justice. Over the last seven years, the federal NDP has been successful because of Layton. To many he was the party. Now it has the huge task of replacing him. But first, a state funeral is fitting for the a man who gave what he did to his country, a man who left his part of the world a better place than the one he found when he took over leadership of the NDP in 2004.

People will keep joining gangs despite long-term prospects

n the wake of the shoot-up at the Delta Grand Hotel on Aug. 14, one of the recurring questions people ask me is the ‘why’ one: Why would someone put themselves in such danger by joining a gang? That question extends from the tragic consequences of the gangland slaying here in Kelowna—Jonathan Bacon is dead, a full-patch Hells Angel was badly wounded, and a young woman who was in the targeted vehicle is paralyzed for life after being shot in the spine. And for what? Surely, anyone wanting to join a gang would realize their long-term future prospects for promotion are bleak—they face either a lengthy prison term or being shot

either by a rival gang or the Mafia-style inhouse cleansing when a change of command occurs. But this is nothing new. People have been joining gangs ever since we humans started to multiply in larger numbers. Today, there are many reasons why young people join a gang and they’ve all been well documented—to satisfy a sense of belonging; the ‘bling’ lifestyle that comes with it; associating with others on a shared cause even if it is a life of crime. But still the ‘why’ question gets

asked, and that got me to thinking about two movies from my youth that attempted to answer that question. Their themes have been copied repeatedly Barry in movies ever since, Gerding but have done little to change our attitude towards gang life. If anything, they unintentionally served to romanticize it more. One of those films was The Godfather, the first of a trilogy of movies about the infamous Corleone crime family. That movie explored the themes of loyalty and of family and how they were tied to life in the Ma-

EDITOR’S NOTE

fia. Getting out of that lifestyle was much harder than getting in to it. Those themes continue to resonate today in modern gangs, even though the prospects of living long enough to collect a pension remain bleak. The other movie that came to mind was a 1959 western called The Magnificent Seven, which told the tale of seven gunfighters who seek personal redemption for their pasts by trying to rid a small Mexican village of its marauding bandits. While the meek and weak villagers look upon the gunfighters with awe, the hired guns see their existence as a lonely one with no long-term prospects beyond trying to stay alive. The themes in those two movies

made for great cinema, but exposing the realities of living on the edge has done little to detract people from that lifestyle. Bacon and his brothers are little more than modern day gunfighters who had no interest in redemption, only emboldening themselves with their self-created power in the gangland world and all the spoils that come with it. A death sentence if ever there was one. But it won’t stop others from following in their path, leaving the rest of us to continually wonder: Why?

LETTERS ▼ FUSION FESTIVAL

Moved event doesn’t help merchants pay bills To the editor: Re: Fusion Festival Makes Use of Downtown’s Park Space, Aug. 11 Capital News. I wanted to mention how disappointed I was as a downtown merchant to learn that Mardi Gras was cancelled in order to make room for the Fusion Festi-

val. I understand that a “record” number of folks turned out to enjoy the park space. Unfortunately, the park space doesn’t need customers to pay its rent. Bernard merchants were invited to join in the Fusion Festival, at a small

cost. However, there is a larger cost that is not taken into consideration—staffing. At Mardi Gras, I didn’t need extra staff and payment options were easy to fulfill—customers could step into the store. No need to rent an extra payment terminal or pay two

to three extra staff. The Fusion Festival robbed Bernard Avenue merchants of being the hub and excitement of having our doors open and having pedestrians walk through our stores, especially the summer season before Bernard Avenue construction could very

well find most of us in dire straights, struggling to survive. What a pity the city considered the action in the park more important than encouraging the action on Bernard. Chantal Couture, funktional, Kelowna

Park lands are not as safe as we once thought Open letter to Blair Lekstrom, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure: Re: Westside Road Interchange land exchange. Much is being said about the land exchange agreement negotiated between the provincial government and the Westbank First Nations. In all of this, little attention is being paid to the fact that a substantial portion of the Rose Valley Reservoir Regional Park is included in this land exchange. The only aspect

that is being addressed in this regard is the protection of the community water supply. However, the bigger issue that gets little attention is the fact that, apparently, a large part of a regional park can be removed from the park without any consultation or input from local governments. This is a very slippery slope as Judie Steeves pointed out in her article: When Is A Park Not A Park?” in the Kelowna Capital News of Aug. 5. Canada and the Prov-

ince of B.C. pride themselves in the fact that we have an extensive park system. Efforts continue by all levels of government to add to our parks, but this is becoming more and more difficult as there are many other groups who have interests in those lands. To give some examples: the District of West Kelowna recently agreed to purchase a property on Pritchard Drive for approximately $1.5 million to add to an existing park. Also, negotiations and discussions have been

going on for over 10 years between the governments of Canada and British Columbia to establish a National Park Reserve in the South Okanagan Lower Similkameen. It goes against all logic to now remove land from a regional park for a land exchange. Surely an agreement could have been negotiated with the WFN without including a portion of this park. As Ms. Steeves pointed out, if this can be done in Rose Valley then which park is next? Many organizations

negotiate land use permits and management agreements with the provincial government to preserve nature or for activities that benefit the public. It now looks like these agreements might also not be as secure as once thought. This is a very troubling situation. I would like to urge the provincial government to exclude land in the Rose Valley Regional Park from the land exchange agreement with the WFN.

Chiropractic care is a good idea for infants To the editor: I agree with Dr. Markus Thiel about infant chiropractic care. (Chiropractic Treatment Can Resolve Infant Ills Like Colic, Aug. 19 Capital News.) All infants and children should see a competent chiropractor for evaluation and potential therapy. (Also all adults.) I was a chiropractor in practice in Kelowna for 42 years. I am now retired. I did treat many, many infants for colic. If treated within 10 days of birth, usually only two or three treatments cleared the colic. Usually the problem was a mid-thoracic

problem (occasionally a neck problem), which required gentle working of the spinal area. One case was a nurse’s baby who worked in the Kelowna Hospital obstetric department. I went to her home (best to treat babies at home—in familiar surroundings) and gave the baby three treatments—on the 10th, 12th and 14th day after birth. When the baby was smiling while I was treating her on the third treatment, her mother said “babies don’t smile at that age,” and I said, “she is an animal and is showing pleasure about what is happening to her.” The mother

agreed. It would be nice to see the mother and child again (that was about 20 years ago), so if the mother reads this, please contact me. Thanks. Mothers, please take your infant to a chiropractor. You can have the chiropractor contact me as to how to treat the infant. If any other mother reads this—and I treated their child—please contact me. Dr. Mervyn G Ritchey, West Kelowna

Local school board looks frugal compared to Island To the editor: A comparison of the School District 23 Central Okanagan school board with the School District 61 Greater Victoria school board shows that the Victoria school board is wasting taxpayer dollars. • SD23 has 22,437 students to 20,680 students for SD61. • SD23 average teacher wage is $68,044 compared to $67,989 for SD61. • The district superintendent for Victoria received a compensation of $209,421 (base salary, pension benefits and other expenses) with 10 weeks vacation and two assistant superintendents paid $156,746 and $150,529, also with 10 weeks vacation, compared to Central

Okanagan with two superintendents at $191,659 and $190,623, and an assistant superintendent at $168,820 all with seven weeks vacation. • Greater Victoria has nine trustees at yearly wages of $161,316 compared to Central Okanagan with seven trustees at yearly wages of $126,752. • Central Okanagan has 1,124 teachers, 80 principals/vice-principals to Greater Victoria’s 1,024 teachers, 108 principals/ vice-principals. • The average wage for principals is $98,664 in Central Okanagan to $98,527 in Greater Victoria. • Total office supplies and stationery was $182,994 for Central Okanagan to $596,876 for Greater Vic-

toria. • Total district wages for Central Okanagan was $125,237,868 to $126,829,360 for Greater Victoria. Note items that taxpayers should be concerned with in Greater Victoria is that Greater Victoria district wages are higher than the Central Okanagan, with 100 less teachers, 28 more principals, and office supplies and stationery $413,822 more than in Central Okanagan. All financial information on all 59 B.C. school districts is available at kto12.ca. This one comparison shows that there is no shortage of school funding in B.C. It is the poor management of local school

boards, such as Greater Victoria SD61. Just one big joke spending taxpayer dollars. Audits have to be done comparing district to district with similar student

population numbers, just not an audit within the district with no comparisons. Joe Sawchuk, Duncan

NEWS ▼ ELECTION

List of would-be Kelowna civic candidates growing early on Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

It’s only been one day since the City of Kelowna started releasing nomination packages for the upcoming municipal election, and already there’s a hefty contingent of political hopefuls queuing up. According to Karen Needham, the city’s chief election officer, two nomination packages for mayor, and nine for city coun-

cillor were picked up Wednesday. Among the potential mayoral hopefuls are James Murphy and Kim Oulette. Potentially vying for city council seats are Carol Gran, Bobby Kennedy, Mary-Ann Graham, Tisha Kalmanovich, Peter McFadden, Andrew Powell, Elizabeth Fehr and Mohini Singh. Needham pointed out that it was a fairly large

showing for the first day of the nominations, when compared to years past, but that doesn’t mean everyone who came forward Wednesday—and in the days that follow— will actually follow through with their political aspirations. After all, explained Graham, who will take her fourth run at office this November, it’s an expensive and time consuming pursuit.

That’s why this will be her last run at local political office, should the cards not line up in her favour. The general election is set for Saturday, Nov. 19 to elect a mayor, councillors and school trustees. Those interested in running can download more information from the city’s web page or pick up a nomination package available at the Office of City Clerk at City Hall, while the period to file

nomination papers is Oct. 4 to 14. Candidate and voter information is available on the City’s election website, kelowna.ca/election, which includes links to social media and an esubscription service. Residents of Kelowna 18 years of age and older can check their eligibility to vote at kelowna.ca/ election. The election office can be reached at 250469-8763.

New NDP candidate to focus on meeting her community Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Carole Gordon’s strategy isn’t going to change whether there’s an election this fall or not until next year. “The first question that I asked was: ‘What comes next?’ For me, I want to get out there; I want to meet people,” said Gordon. “That wouldn’t matter if the election was called a year from now or three weeks from now.” Gordon was expected to be acclaimed as Westside-Kelowna NDP candidate at a constituency meeting last night. She said she will prepare for a potential election by quickly immersing herself in the community. “I’m really looking forward to going out to events and finding out what (the community’s) priorities and needs are. I’ll be ready when the election is called.” The fourth and fifth grade teacher at Bankhead Elementary School in Kelowna said that her experience as an educator will play into her favour. “I have lots of experi-

ence with trying to figure out what people’s needs are. When you talk to parents or colleagues, there is a lot of collaboration. “I really think that’s what politics needs— more collaboration among community members and political leaders.” Gordon, who went to high school in West Kelowna, is looking forward to the new challenge. “This will be my first foray into formal politics, but I definitely have some experience with the union. I was second vicepresident for the Central Okanagan Teachers Association for three years and I’m president of the labour council.” Despite the belief that the Liberal party has a firm grip on the area, Gordon said she may bring a refreshing alternative to the table. “I have a history of advocating for community needs. People are going to find that I have a high level of integrity, honesty and openness. “I think they’re going to discover that there’s really a great opportunity for them by electing me and the New Democrats.”

Blazing final round earns Inaba Invitational title Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The only thing hotter than the August sun on Tuesday at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club was the play of Kyla Inaba. The 24-year-old from Kelowna scorched the local course with a careerbest round of 6-under par 67 to win the KGCC’s Ladies Invitational for the second time in three years. Inaba’s two round total of 8-under par 138 (71-67) was 11 shots better than runner-up Jen Woods of KGCC, and 15 clear of defending champion Haley Cameron. Inaba, a former captain of the UBC Thunderbirds golf team, headed into the second and final round with a slim oneshot lead over Cameron, a Kelowna native and current member of the UBC T’Birds program. But it was soon apparent it would be Inaba’s day when she canned her tee shot for a hole-in-one on the par-3, 115-yard second hole. Cameron, 20, stayed close with birdies on the second and third holes before Inaba pulled away with the best round of her life. She added an eagle on the par-5 10th to go along with four birdies and two bogeys to leave the field in her wake. “It was pretty exciting,” said Inaba who won the tournament in 2009, then didn’t play in last year’s event. “I knew I’d

have to play well today because I knew Haley was going to come out firing and there was a lot of good competition.

‘‘

I STARTED WELL WITH THE HOLEIN-ONE AND THAT WAS GOOD BECAUSE HALEY WENT PAR-BIRDIEBIRDIE, AND I KNEW SHE’D KEEP PRESSING.

“I just wanted to play as best I could, and it just happened. I started well with the hole-in-one and that was good because Haley went par-birdiebirdie, and I knew she’d keep pressing,” Inaba continued. “From then on it was just birdie on every other second hole and then an eagle on the 10th. It was definitely nice to play as well as I did and shoot my lowest round yet.” For Woods, the second-place showing was an encouraging result for the fourth-year member of the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s golf team. In her second appearance at the Invitational, the Rutland grad finished at 3-over 149 (73-76). “I couldn’t have asked for anything better— weather or course conditions,” said Woods, 21, the BCCAA player of the

My second showing, I was just so happy to be playing with high calibre players like Kyla, it was nice to see local girls playing so well.” In Cameron’s case, the Kelowna Secondary grad couldn’t maintain her strong start to the second round and finished at 6-over par 153 (72-81) to finish in third spot. “I felt like I got off to a really solid start but made a couple of bad swings and just didn’t quite keep

it together, missed some clutch putts and, you know, it happens,” said a still cheerful Cameron who became the tournament’s youngest winner last year at the age of 19. “It was so much fun out there, Jen played really well, I’ve never seen such solid golf out of her, and to watch Kyla make bridies all the way around was exciting. It was really a fun group, a fun day.” Chelsey Cooper finished fourth at 154, Eileen Kelly took fifth at 158, while former Invitational winner Melanie Grant was sixth at 159.

Her options include wintering in Arizona, or heading to Australia where she would likely turn professional.

Regardless of what awaits Inaba, a convincing win at her hometown tournament was a nice way to cap off the summer of 2011. “It means a lot just because this tournament has just seen me grow along the years, it’s seen me

four days at Prospera Place. The 2011 edition of Kelowna Rockets’ rookie camp is the Western Hockey League club’s best attended yet. “The numbers are surprising considering we have 22 teams in our league and competition for players is very tough out there,” said Frey, the club’s director of player personnel and assistant GM. “We kind of have a double whammy here in that we have a good program and we also have a gorgeous city people love to come to. Families make

a holiday out of it and come and stay for a few days, so that definitely pushes the numbers up.” The camp, which began Thursday at 8 a.m., features predominantly 15-year-old talent, or players born in 1996. A handful of players are 16 year-olds. Of the 160 players, Frey estimates about 65 to 70 per cent of those come from within B.C., part of a changing trend at WHL camps over the last couple of years. “We’re finding that a lot of kids we have are from the area; with-

in the province and a lot of kids from right in the valley,” said Frey. “In the past we’ve had a lot more kids from the Prairies, but we’re finding kids in all regions of the country are sticking a lot closer to home than they used to. It has a lot to do with the cost of travelling, and players and parents are concentrating a lot more on their local teams.” Yet, because of the WHL bantam draft, there are still a number of players from all across Western Canada who have made their way to Kelowna for rookie camp.

No. 1 bantam pick Rourke Chartier is a speedy and skilled forward from Saskatoon who Frey and the Rockets expect to be a force in Kelowna for years to come,. Austin Glover, the club’s second choice in 2011, is a 5-foot-11 forward from Clavet, Sask. Riley Stadel, the team’s third pick, is a defenceman from Cloverdale, while their fourth choice is Thomas Spence, a 6-foot2 goaltender from Moose Jaw, Sask. “We’re excited about these kids and some of our other draft picks, too,” said

Frey. “We thought we had a relatively good draft.” Frey said this year’s camp will feature a little more depth at the forward position than on defense. With seven ice times for each rookie team, Frey and his staff will get a good look at the Rockets future over the next 3 1/2 days. “We’ve seen the majority of these kids at 14, we’ve got a pretty good book on them, so we’ll see now how much they’ve improved since last season,” he said. “Some of these guys, at this age, can grow a lot in a short time. A player who was 5-9 last spring could be six feet now. We’ll see how far a lot of these kids have come.” Frey expects the team will keep about 10 players from rookie camp around for the start of Rockets main camp which begins with registration on Monday. About 60 players, divided into three teams, will take to the ice Tuesday for the beginning of main camp scrimmages. The Rockets first preseason game is Friday, Sept. 2 at home to the Vancouver Giants.

SPORTS ▼ FIELD HOCKEY

Kelowna 3-some on Pan Am roster A trio of former Kelowna Owls will suit up for Team Canada in women’s field hockey at the 2011 Pan American Games. Abigail Raye, Dantielle Hennig and Natalie Sourisseau were all named this week to Canada’s final roster for the Games Oct. 14 to 30 in Guadalajara, Mexico. The three players were teammates with the KSS girls AAA field hockey team, with Hennig gradfuating in 2008, Raye in 2009, and Sourisseau in 2010. t Raye, 20, is the most texperienced of the three rplayers in international competition with 63 caps. “Abi has been playing really well for us, we think she’s on her way to becoming a really good international player,” said Canadian team head coach Louis Mendonca. “She still has some work to do in being more consistent with her skills, but ffor a young kid, her understanding of the game is phenomenal. We expect her to be a key part of the program for years to come.”

Abigail Raye

Natalie Sourisseau

Hennig, 20, in her second season with the national program, has 27 career caps. Thanks in large part to her ability to adapt to different positions on the pitch, the University Victoria Vikes player was a clear choice for the Canadian coaching staff. “I think Dani is a very good athlete and brings versatility to the team and also to the program,” said Mendonca. “Normally you’re allowed to take 18 players, but for events like the Pan Ams you can only go with 16. The fact that Dani can play as a midfielder or defender helps us tremendously. She comes in and supplies us with what we need when we need it.”

Sourisseau, 18, has accumulated 14 caps in her first season with the national senior women’s squad. She was the Canada West rookie of the year last season with the UBC Thunderbirds. “Natalie is a very good talent, her raw talent is phenomenal,” said Mendonca. “A very good athlete and very strong player for her age. She’s can be a midfielder and we can also play her at forward. She captained our junior team and is a very good talent.” Meanwhile, the Canadian team has just three players on its current 16-player roster who played at the 2007 Pan Am Games in Brazil.

But with plenty of young talent, including the Kelowna threesome, team captain Katie Baker fully expects Canada to be competitive in Mexico. “We have a young team,” said Baker. “However, in the past three years, these young players have had a considerable amount of experience, often stepping into crucial roles on the field.” Team Canada heads into the Games as the fourth-ranked Pan American team in the tournament. Canada is in a pool with No. 1 world-ranked Argentina, Barbados and Trinidad-Tobago. “Our goal is simple: to reach the podium,” said Canadian team head coach Louis Mendonca. “We are well prepared in all areas to meet our objective.” The Canadians, currently ranked 20th in the world, will open the Pan Am Games Oct. 19 against Barbados. The Games in Mexico will be Canada’s first opportunity to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

the BC Hockey Under 17 Provincial Camp that was held in Salmon Arm in July. A total of 41 athletes competed in Salmon Arm for the 23 spots on the shortlist. Only 11 B.C. players will eventually be named to the team. “BC Hockey is very excited by the quality of hockey that took place in Salmon Arm,” said Jim Dinwoodie, Team Pacific assistant coach. “The players made life tough on the evalu-

ators and staff during the camp, and that is what we challenged them to do. As staff, we are thrilled with the players we identified, and it is going to be a challenge selecting the 11 players that will be a part of Team Pacific.” Schamerhorn is one of three goalies to be named to the team while Nikkel and Clark both played for the Pursuit of Excellence last season. Harrison skated with the Okanagan Rockets major midget team. The shortlisted players

will continue to be evaluated with their club teams until mid November, following which, 11 players will be selected to join the top players from Alberta to form Team Pacific. “The first step was being shortlisted, now the hard work begins for the staff and players,” said David Michaud, assistant director of operations for Team Pacific. “We will pay close attention to see how the players start their respective seasons, and we will leave no stone unturned as we work to nam-

ing the 11 players that will join Alberta’s best to form Team Pacific.” The World Under-17 Hockey Challenge is the first stage of Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence. Team Pacific will compete against four other Canadian teams (West, Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic), and five national teams (Russia, Finland, Sweden, Czech Republic, and United States). In 2010, Team Pacific earned a bronze medal after defeating Quebec 5-4 in overtime.

▼ OKANAGAN CUP

Pro wrestling results from Friday Professional Wrestling was back in Kelowna for the inaugural Okanagan Cup at the Rutland Centennial Hall on Friday, Aug. 19 in front of a boisterous crowd. Black Dragon, a 22year wrestling veteran from Vernon who has performed in Mexico and Japan and on American television, was the inaugural winner. He defeated K.C. Andrews, who originally is from London, Ont., but

recently moved to Penticton. Dragon bested Matt Xstatic in the first round of the eight-man tournament, and The Great Kasaki in the semifinals, while K.C. Andrews snuck by Kelowna’s “Mad Dog” Marty Sugar in the first round, and Slave in the other semifinal. Michael Meurte and Bruiser Joe were also in the tournament, losing in the first round to Slave and Kasaki, respectively.

In non-tournament action, Unholy Minion defeated Michael More by disqualification in a non-tournament Grudge Match, and members of Pull Incase of Fire rocked the intermission with a jam session. Professional Wrestling returns to the Rutland Centennial Hall on Saturday, Sept. 24, at 8 p.m. as part of the Rutland Park September Days weekend. That show is appropriately named ‘Five For

Fighting’ as tickets will only be only $5 (normal prices range from $10$18), with all proceeds going directly to the Rutland Park Society in order to repair the 45-year-old hall’s roof. The show will feature several local wrestlers from the Okanagan, including Kyle Sebastian, who recently wrapped fliming on the second season of the ‘World of Hurt’ wrestling reality TV show that films out of Alberta.

Mike Francis on a lob shot over goaltender Todd Ryder’s head and Randy Bohem (penalty kick). Martin Vincze recorded the shut out. The Silver Stars prevailed 3-1 against Big O Tire in an all Vernon matchup last night at Marshall Field. IGA went to 18-0-1

by stopping the Pushor Mitchell Advocates by a score of 6-1. Brandt’s Creek produced their best performance of the season in defeating Rutland 6-0 at Kettle Valley. In that game, Geoff Avery-Jones was the scoring star for Brandt’s, scoring the hattrick.

The day before she retired from Okanagan College’s practical nursing program, Bev McNamara couldn’t help herself: In a lab full of wouldbe nurses anxious over the next day’s skills test, McNamara felt compelled to offer words of encouragement and advice as she departed. “You will be fine,” she said, sporting her lab coat and her well-worn name tag. “Just remember to read.” It wasn’t her class of students—for the first

Bev McNamara time in more than a decade, Bev won’t be around to see this cadre of caregivers graduate. But the advice and warm words are hallmarks of an educator and nurse who has helped,

turned part-time teaching into full-time, and by 2001 (with a bachelor of science degree in nursing now part of her curriculum vitae) she was into it full-time. A decade later, she’s leaving the teaching world, her sights set on a change of pace and a distant continent. In her wake, an army of nurses who form a critical component of the health-care scene. “I can walk into any facility in the region and see my graduates. It’s kind of cool,” she said. “What’s really cool, though, is they usually come up and

hug me. They don’t walk away.” One of McNamara’s long-time associates is Lori Jakins, an acute care manager at Interior Health, who works in Kelowna General Hospital, ward 4B, where McNamara spent considerable time before making the jump into the role of full-time educator.

it is back to two). As chairwoman of the department, McNamara has overseen expansion of the program into Penticton, Salmon Arm and Vernon as well. After nearly five decades in the profession, what observation does McNamara offer about the qualities of a good practical nurse? “Caring, knowledge and perseverance. Applying critical thinking skills. An appetite for learning.” McNamara’s commitment to the profession underpins her career and the relationships she has developed over decades. To watch her at convocation, where pride of accomplishment blossoms into an emotional ceremony, you are tempted to think the hugs and tears are signaling that friendship is on the horizon, replacing the educator-student relationship. Not the case. She doesn’t count former students among her friends— they are colleagues. Valued, respected, but colleagues only. It’s what the profession demands. It may sound a little cool, but for those who have had the benefit of working with her, learning from her, or graduating from the programs McNamara has administered, there can’t be any argument with an approach that has worked so well for so many, and ultimately benefited so many patients.

time relationship that has been dominated by a mutual dedication to ensuring quality patient care and instilling pride and professionalism in those who want to be nurses. Jakins and the graduates are not the only ones to have taken notice of McNamara’s commitment. In mid-October, McNamara will receive the Canadian Association of Practical Nurse Educators award for mentorship. “I was very surprised,” said McNamara. “I’d given my permission for the nomination, but I really didn’t expect to be chosen. It’s flattering.” “Those are going to be big shoes to fill,” said Jakins. McNamara’s dedication to the practical nursing program has been evident as the scope of practice for practical nurses expanded, and curricula had to be revamped and more material compressed into an already jam-packed program. Even now, as the program length is about to be expanded, the challenge will be to accommodate the additional course material that nurses will be expected to know to pass the national exams. It’s not just the program scope that has changed, either: The college has had dramatic increases in the number of nurses it educates.

House of straw West Kelowna couple builds the municipality’s first straw bale house.

Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The first little pig will probably be jealous of the home that Pip and Lisa Akins are building. The West Kelowna couple are in the midst of creating the District of West Kelowna’s first straw bale house. Pip Akins said the idea came to life after mulling over ways to build a relatively green home. “We were interested in making it as environmentally friendly as we could. My brother-in-law has done some courses in straw bale building over the years and he told us about it,” said Akins. “You end up with really thick walls. The building itself should be pretty energy efficient. You also get that high R-value with a good material.” Akins said that they have remained fairly conventional with the design, sticking to mostly 90-degree corners; however, there will be slight bulges from the straw that will

make it look quite interesting. The Akins have had a large number of volunteers—mostly friends and family—help them out with the project. The effort has been hugely helpful, according to Akins. “The actual building of the straw bale walls doesn’t take a lot of skill, it’s something you can learn in 10 or 20 minutes. But it is extremely labour intensive. “Having volunteers available really helped this process along.” The process has been one that has had its challenges along the way. “Building with straw, we’ve learned, is a bit more time-consuming than conventional (building): Partly because it literally takes more time and partly because there aren’t a lot of people out there who know how to do it.” Another challenge that the Akins ran into was getting the initial permit. “This was the first straw bale building that they’ve had to deal with

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

PIP AKINS does work on the deck of his straw bale house. The house is the first of its kind in West Kelowna. in the District of West Kelowna. Essentially it’s a new thing that people aren’t familiar with. “It took a lot of leg-

work on our part, getting our inspector’s information and getting them in touch with other districts that had more experience.

It was a bit of a special process that we had to do to accomplish that.” All the hard work may pay off as soon as the new

homeowners get their first energy bill. “We’re really interested to see how our energy bills look as the seasons go on. That will be a big part of the advantage. Our expectation is that we will have low energy bills. “We won’t have air conditioning in the house and we’re thinking that our heating costs aren’t going to be extraordinary, but the proof will be in the pudding.” Akins said that there are some misconceptions when it comes to building with straw. “Straw is apparently excellent with fires because it doesn’t really burn properly, it just kind of smolders. (Some say) that it’s going to increase the likelihood of rodents. That’s not true unless the straw hasn’t been processed properly by the farmers.” Akins isn’t sure if the concept of building with straw is practical for new businesses or city homes due to lost square footage. “We have space. We

figured out how much floor space we want, then we can just make the walls bigger. So we have a bigger footprint, which we can afford. “If you live on a city lot, chances are you’re going to lose square footage by going with straw. We just decided what square footage we needed, then built out.” Lisa Akins said that their Albertan builder is an expert in building with straw bales. The process is something that may become more popular in the future. “He’s built about 100 structures in the States as well as here,” said Lisa. “California has written straw bale into their code: It’s moving in that direction, but it’s slower up here.” After all the research and hard work by the Akins and countless volunteers, it’s probably safe to say that no wolf—nor any type of West Kelowna weather—will blow this house down. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Remember your vacation. Not the medical bills. The days are getting shorter, grey skies and dreary weather are looming. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning an extended fall or winter trip south in search of sunny blue skies, you are probably also planning your travel insurance. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like many snowbirds, you may even have an annual policy to cover you throughout the year.

was both shocked and saddened to learn early Monday morning of the untimely passing of Jack Layton. Cancer has touched the lives of many of us and I know that I will not be alone in passing on my deepest condolences to Mr. Laytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and close personal friends. If any citizens would like to pass on a card or a note, I will be heading back to Ottawa in early September and would be pleased to hand deliver your condolences to Mr. Laytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hill office in person. My office is located at # 202 - 301 Main Street in Penticton and if items could be dropped off prior to Sept. 2 it would be greatly appreciated. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ As we enter the last few weeks of summer it is easy to note just how quickly the months of July and soon to be August have gone by. For me, having the opportunity to travel to every corner of the riding has been a very rewarding one. Meeting citizens in

Dan Albas Logan Lake, Merritt, Okanagan Falls, Penticton, West Kelowna and Naramata has been an enjoyable experience. One thing that stands out in every community is just how much people care. People care about the community where they live, about the people they call neighbours and about the well being of our great country. I am often humbled at the warm welcome I receive as your elected MP. It is also heartening to hear from so many citizens on what is important to you for our future as Canadians. Jobs and the economy are always at the forefront, however, I also hear concerns over foreign

policy and trade, fisheries management, immigration, regulation, crime concerns, gas prices and even frustration with decisions made by other levels of government. I would be remiss if I did not add there are times when I also hear disagreement over decisions made at the federal government level as well. It is clear to me that as Canadians we care deeply about our country and many citizens want to stand up for Canada. However in my travels I have also noticed an emerging trend. Many citizens have great ideas but the request is often for the government to carry them out. In reality this typically involves funding requests and often for staggering amounts of money. Canada was built on hard work by those who came before us. This country was not built on government grants, taxpayer handouts or through an unprecedented amount of taxpayer financed programs and services. In fact, part of why Canada is standing rela-

tively strong today is because we have resisted the temptation to tax and spend beyond our means. Elected officials at all levels of government try to meet the demands of the citizens who elect us, however at some point we must also recognize that if we continue to try and meet these demands we will also suffer the same fate that many other countries around the world are currently facing. I believe that now is a time where, as Canadians, we must be willing to find new ways to collectively live within our means. We can recycle more, we can innovate, we can conserve, we can make better use of existing resources and infrastructure, but most importantly we, as citizens, have the ability to make change without an expectation that government must do it for us. This is how I believe we will keep Canada strong and continue to build a country that we are all immensely proud I to be part of. s Dan Albas is the m Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla.

There were more people than the Anglican Church in Westbank could accommodate, even with the sides and back of the church clogged with those of us who didn’t arrive in time to get a seat. In my column that week, coincidentally published the day of the funeral, I expressed my hope that Stewart’s death could become his last generous gift to our community, bringing awareness to the lack of responsibility many of us take

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott when piloting a several thousand pound projectile. I suggested that a billboard could be erected in his memory and perhaps, the young man whose irresponsible driving caused his death might choose to direct the emotional pain he must be carrying to giving presentations in local schools to have a positive effect on driving attitudes. I feel enriched to have

learned a little bit about Stewart as I listened to those close to him share about his life. I learned that the volunteer adopt-a-road garbage clean-up work he was doing at the time he was killed was characteristic of how he lived his life. I learned about what a great loss his death is causing to his family, friends, church and broader community. I have made it my life’s work to achieve fair compensation for losses arising from irresponsible driving. Even though the compensation is paid for by an insurance company, there is an accountability that comes from the con-

sequence of increased insurance premiums faced by the negligent driver as well as the increased insurance premiums faced by the entire driving community that should result in a smartening up of driver attitudes. If ever there was a loss that cried out for compensation; if ever there was a senseless crash that cried out for accountability, it would be the crash that took Stewart Tuningley from us. Perhaps, but our laws do not provide for it. In B.C. there is no accountability for a senseless crash that takes a life unless there is a financial loss. Tuningley was retired. He was an unpaid volun-

teer. His family will suffer no financial loss arising from his death. The pain and suffering compensation you are entitled to if you are injured is not available if someone close to you is killed. This illustrates the bizarre reality that in B.C. your legal responsibility for killing someone is typically a whole lot lower than your legal responsibility for causing injury. This reality has to change. I became aware of a group of family and friends of those killed by wrongful acts who are taking steps to change the law.

CHIPping away at heart problems Coronary Health Improvement Project saves West Kelowna man’s life Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

After his uncle died from heart problems at 55-years-old, Gerry Bakker knew that he wasn’t invincible. He practiced a heartsmart diet; his texttbook was Canada’s Food Guide. He tried to have a balanced diet with lots of vegetables and grains and an appropriate portion of meat and dairy. t “I was six-feet-tall and 175-pounds: Life was good,” said Bakker. But the heart-smart diet wasn’t enough to proftect Bakker. “After a busy day of walking through the

streets of downtown Kelowna in the summer, knocking on doors, going in air conditioning and then back into the heat, I came home and had supper,” said Bakker. “I ate a big meal. Not five or ten minutes later, I was sitting on the sofa and suddenly felt like I had an elephant sitting on my chest.” Bakker said that he initially thought that either he ate too much or that he might have food poisoning. “It quickly became apparent that there’s something really wrong here.” According to Bakker, he had read up on the symptoms of heart attacks and he figured out he was having one when his arms went numb. “Before you knew it, I was in the hospital and there was no question: I’d

had a heart attack. I survived that particular case, but I was in rough shape. A week later, while having surgery in Vancouver’s St. Paul’s hospital, Bakker said he had the white light, near death experience. After that, he knew it was time for a change. “I’ve been a desk jockey for 30 years in the computer business. I was faced with a doctor saying, ‘If you keep working that hard, you’re going to die for sure; if you keep doing the same diet, you’re going to die for sure’.” It took a breakdown in a supermarket to get Bakker on the right path. “I had no where to turn because everything that came in a box had too much salt, or not enough fiber. We were so frustrated that at one point we sat down in the grocery store,

sobbing. “We said, ‘What are we going to do?’ With the advice that we were given, we would never get there with things we could buy in the store.” Bakker’s friends introduced him to the Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP). He went to a training information session and it made all the difference. “It was a lifesaver. It was basically four weeks of four nights, going through sessions where they would give you a half-hour video showing the consequences of how you used to do stuff and the benefits of doing it slightly different.” Bakker said that CHIP gave him a recipe for how to change what he eats in his life. One essential change that Bakker made was

eliminating meat and cheese from his diet. “I stopped eating anything that had a mother or a face,” said Bakker. Bakker also teamed his new diet with regular exercise. He said that he is now in the best shape that he has ever been. He encouraged others to consider giving CHIP a try, even if they don’t currently have heart problems. “If you really want to change your life for the better, then consider this and learn something new. This will change your life.” For those interested in the CHIP program, there will be information sessions on Aug. 29 and Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Kelowna Lifestyle Centre on 1130 Springfield Road. The sessions are free of charge.

Mainland lawyer named Don Renauld, is working to address the lack of accountability. I have seen a draft of a piece of legislation that this group wants passed into law, called the Wrongful Death Accountability Act. The proposed legislation has not been released to the public yet, but I expect it will be leading up to an awareness event scheduled to occur on Sept. 25,at the Vancouver Art Gallery on Robson Street in Vancouver. I would like to see a similar event occur in the Okanagan at the same time. I invite friends of Stewart Tuningley or anyone else who may have

lost someone due to a wrongful act to come together with a common voice on Sept. 25. Anyone interested in taking part, please email me and I will issue a group e-mail to all interested if a location and time are sorted out and mention the place and time in another column leading up to that event. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

History has a new home in DWK Westbank has a new location to relive its storied history. Last week, the museum reopened in its new location at 2376 Dobbin Road. Margaret Jackson, founding director of the museum, said representing her family at the museum reopening was a “dream come true.” Her father founded the museum nearly 30 years ago when he realized that there was a need to document Westbank’s unique past. She said the new location will increase attendance at the facility. “We are very happy with the new, central location. We’ve already seen an increase in traffic, which I know will only continue,” said Jackson. West Kelowna mayor Doug Findlater and Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart were also onhand for the opening. Findlater said the museum will be valuable learning environment. “I know it will be a place that we all direct our visiting friends and family to and school children will tour (it) each year. It is truly a great achievement for all the district staff and museum volunteers involved,” said the mayor. The museum includes a mock house, storefront and barn to showcase items. The museum will also house a visitor information centre.

Holiday leads to learning the value of respect on Haida Gwaii

spent the week around July 1 in a cabin on one of Haida Gwaii’s remote islands. I was there to celebrate a birthday—not Canada’s, but my grandson’s second. And what a blessed time it was, hanging out with him without the distractions of email, phone calls, or television. When I got involved with First Nations communities in remote areas, one of the first lessons I learned was about the importance of respect. Without respect for each other, we don’t listen and we fail to learn. Instead, we try to engage in conversations set within the perspective of our values, beliefs and ideas. It’s what led to the depredation of Euro-

SCIENCE MATTERS

David Suzuki peans in the Americas, Africa and Australia. It’s what led to catastrophic disasters when explorers failed to listen and learn from local people during expeditions to the Arctic, down the Nile and into the Amazon. But respect should extend beyond our fellow humans, to all the green things that capture the sun’s energy and power the rest of life on Earth, to the birds, the fish, the rivers and oceans, the

clouds and sky, to all the things that make this planet home and nurture our species. It rained every day but one on Hotsprings Island where we stayed. It’s a rainforest and that’s to be expected. We dressed for it and went out at low tide to tickle geoduck siphons. My grandson squealed with delight as each clam ejected a jet of water to withdraw into the mud. The jumble of seaweed at water’s edge formed an astonishing collage of colour and shape and we peered under leaves to find crabs, sculpins and starfish. I was overwhelmed with the thought that this diverse miniature community of animals and

plants had flourished for millennia, co-existing and interacting in ways we have yet to discover. All over the world, life has found ways to survive and thereby enable human beings to exploit the abundance and productivity that developed within diverse ecosystems. Human beings are a clever animal, able to overcome our deficits in size, speed, strength and sensory abilities with curiosity and inventiveness. We now know we’re not alone as tool makers, but no other species has been blessed with the incredible resourcefulness and creativity to make tools such as ours. I was impressed with my grandson’s response to his first birthday cake.

He loved the novelty of the sweetness (his parents restrict his candy intake), but he only took three bites and was sated. If only we were all able to control our appetites so well. As a species, we have developed an insatiable hunger for stuff and the technological power and global economy to fulfill that consumptive demand. It once took the Haida people months to cut down an immense tree to use for their longhouses, poles, or canoes. Today, one man and a chainsaw can achieve the same thing in a matter of minutes. Driven by a thirst for economic growth and profit, without a sense of respect for the forest as an ecosystem, we

use our technology to destroy the forest for a small part of its constituents. We justify clear-cutting huge swathes of forest as “proper silvicultural practice” or “imitating naturally occurring fires or blowdowns.” But that’s all rationalization. Think of the incredible technologies in ocean fisheries—radar, sonar, GPS, tough materials for nets and more. We use drift nets, longlines and bottom draggers that take immense numbers of target species and socalled bycatch—species deemed of no value or unintentionally taken (birds, sharks, turtles, dolphins, etc.). Now the consequences are apparent, something I would never

have dreamed possible when I was a boy: the oceans that cover 71 per cent of Earth’s surface, the oceans that I was taught in high school were a “limitless source of protein,” are a mess, beset not only by overfishing, but dead zones bereft of oxygen, immense islands of plastic debris and changing pH from carbon dioxide dissolving in the water. These thoughts flowed through my brain as I wondered about the kind of world my grandson will grow up in and how far we could go if we learn that simple word— respect.

Former national team racer coaches local dragon boat team Dragon from B3 single year. Although the team was doing relatively well, they decided to get new instruction and see how much they could improve. “We brought in a new coach this year, a guy who has raced on men’s and mixed national teams. He said, ‘You guys have

a lot of power, I think if I change your stroke you’re going to go from a really good team to an incredible team.’” The raw talent, which comes from mixed martial arts fighters, baseball players, recreational joggers and housewives, utilized their coach’s advice and it paid off. “This year was amaz-

ing. We ended up in a photo finish for first place and got silver against a top-ranked national team (at the Banff Dragon Boat Festival). We were just ecstatic.” Tip Em Back’s coach believes the crew can achieve national success with more dedication and practise; however, Millross said the team is hesi-

tant. “We’re scared that if we go up to that next level, we might lose the fun. Right now we have such a great time and we have people from other teams who want to join us. “They can see that we’re not only doing good, but we’re having fun while doing it.” Millross said that she

doesn’t want Tip Em Back to become like some other teams she has observed in competitions. “These teams that we race against that go to nationals and worlds are very serious. When they’re on the boat, they’re dead serious; you don’t hear a peep out of them.” The serious attitude is a contrast to Tip Em Back, who Millross claims can

be seen laughing and joking just before races. “We’re on the fence because we really don’t want to ruin that fun aspect. It’s something we’re going to discuss over the winter.” On top of potentially losing the fun, Millross said many of the athletes have children and, in some cases, even grandchildren. Dedicating more

time to dragon boat racing may not be an option for some. But, if the team does take training to the next level, the sky may be the limit. “We have come across national teams and we’re already competing with them. We’re almost there, so what if we do one more practise a week?” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Secondary suite amnesty ending West Kelowna’s amnesty for registering secondary suites will end Sept. 14. Last year the district adopted a bylaw making it quicker and easier to provide affordable rental housing throughout the community, as

well as increasing opportunities for housing affordability. At the time, it started a 12-month amnesty for homeowners with non-compliant suites, extending a chance to either legalize and register their suites or shut them

down. A six-month extension of the amnesty may be considered where applicants have made a full application for the conversion and legalization of any existing suite prior to the end of the 12-month amnesty period.

Keeping dream alive despite turning 30 One Day is STAFF REPORTER

A sensible reaction to growing up and growing older usually requires a job, a routine and, to at least some extent, the loss of a dream for the average independent musician. ForAmandaRheaume, thankfully, it only demands an adjustment in musical taste as she turns that frown upside down, as it were, to pen a callto-arms for aspiring musicians who might be contemplating caving in to the pressures of turning 30. Better Days Ahead, which appears on her first album, is an effort to inspire and provide a ray of hope to those who love to play. Setting aside the apathy and self-doubt that often plagues those struggling to carve out a living as an artist, Rheaume manages to describe the landscape of her musical friendships from the down and out to the totally content in a foot-stomping anthem that should form the centrepiece of her September show at the Minstrel in Kelowna. “A lot of my friends were starting to have to get jobs and it was getting harder and harder to do music,” she said. “So the song is really just to remind them to stick with it and stick by it and that we can all help each other out.” Rheaume underwent a musical metamorphosis in order to realize her dream of creating a full-length album, which took half her lifetime to achieve. Pushing herself out of the rock and pop that took her from her early acoustic

sound back to a more folk roots feel, she says the resulting artistic statement is one she can present on the road anytime, anywhere, with consistent results.

‘‘

A LOT OF MY FRIENDS WERE STARTING TO HAVE TO GET JOBS AND IT WAS GETTING HARDER TO DO MUSIC. SO THE SONG IS REALLY JUST TO REMIND THEM TO STICK WITH IT AND THAT WE CAN ALL HELP EACH OTHER OUT.

“There is a band on it, but because it’s acousticbased, it’s still a very good representation of what’s actually on the album,” she said. Combine her efforts with fellow singer/songwriter Marc Charron and they should make for an interesting musical experience when they arrive at the Minstrel Café next month. “Marc plays drums with his feet, plays guitar and sings all at the same time, so he’s a groovy dude,” said Rheaume. True to her message in Better Days Ahead, Charron and Rheaume are not only sharing tour expenses, they’ve learned each other’s music to back each other’s act on the road. It means they each get to play a little lead guitar and test their limits with someone else’s turn of phrase.

AMANDA RHEAUME’S first album, Light of Another Day, was a labour of love she’s been looking to deliver for almost half her lifetime. “It’s a really fun show. We work really hard at putting together a really fun time. We’ve got great harmony and you’re getting two singer/songwriters in one evening,” said Rheaume, slipping into a little salesmanship. The songstress says she believes making a living off music is all about opening your mind, making the odd compromise

and, yes, at the end of the day sucking it up and selling your product. It means there needs to be a few loud bars as anchor dates where that artistic message she struggled so hard to work out may be lost to the sheer volume of the shooter-slamming audience. And it means sometimes adding in a sideline gig—she does graphic design on albums for other

Adapted from the book by David Nicholls, One Day is not your light romantic comedy. Well, yes it’s a comedy and yes it’s romantic but this is a look at life lived in a far more realistic way. The lens of the camera is aimed at July 15 of each year from 1988 to 2011. Emma and Dexter— played by Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess respectively—provide us with real characters with whom we can relate. Sturgess is great as Dexter and Hathaway is so talented that at times we want her to be a little less wise cracking, but shrinks would say that’s her defence mechanism and who am I to argue. But her line: “What’s the matter? Has sex in a cubicle lost its attraction?” seems jarring coming from the Hathaway we are used to seeing. But in context, it is one funny quote. One Day is quite witty at times, and we’re lulled into thinking that it will follow the path of other

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen films of the same genre. Not so. This one draws us into the emotional ride that only a ‘slice of life’ film can. Emma and Dexter are often star-crossed but are always somewhere in each other’s lives and, with the rest of the cast including Patricia Clarkson and Romola Garai, give us much to think about: Dreams—fulfilled and unfulfilled; loves—won and lost; choices made— bad and good and chances—taken and untaken. There is a roller coaster of emotion here too. Not a big or really scary roller coaster but one that might just make you remember, for a moment, that one person who See Steen B6

Hint of maturity under the idiocy

ven though it has a supporting cast of Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer, Our Idiot Brother seems to be a showcase for Paul Rudd. Critics are taking note of his performance as the sibling who is behind the curve getting his life together. He may be utterly lacking in common sense but his three sisters take turns housing him after his girlfriend boots him off their organic farm. His unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes but as each of the sisters’ lives begin to unravel, they also realize that in believing and trusting the people around him, he isn’t such an idiot after all. For those who want a little maturity in their sophomoric comedy, Our Idiot Brother is for you. Rated PG with a warning of coarse and sexual language and nudity. ••• The revenge plot of Colombiana is pretty

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis straight forward: A young woman who witnessed her parents’ murder as a child grows up to be a stone-cold assassin. She works as a hitman by day, but her personal time is spent hunting down the monster responsible for her parents’ death. However, when the assassin is Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek) and is co-written and produced by Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, Taken) it will be a revenge-thriller with style. Rated PG with a warning of violence and coarse language. ••• It is not too often that you see a feature film that is based upon a madefor-TV movie, let alone a horror film for ABC in 1973. However, knowing that Don’t Be Afraid

of the Dark is co-written and produced by Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) and stars Guy Pearce and Katie Holmes, I would not dismiss it easily.

‘‘

COLOMBIANA… A REVENGE THRILLER WITH STYLE.

It is the story of a young girl who inadvertently unleashes a race of ancient monsters while exploring her father’s 19th century mansion. Early reviews are mixed from not quite scary enough to scary enough to induce nightmares. The fact that it has the unmistakable signature of del Toro has me interested. Rated 14A with frightening scenes. ••• Opening next Wednesday is The Debt, a re-

make of a 2007 Israeli movie about a trio of Mossad agents who are charged with bringing a Nazi war criminal to justice in the 1960s. The movie bounces back and forth in time following the three spies on the mission and how it has changed their lives 30 years later. Rated 14A with a warning of violence, it stars Helen Mirren (The Queen), Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Jessica Chastain (The Tree of Life, The Help). ••• Red Hot Chili Peppers fans will want to check out their live album debut in a concert broadcast to the Paramount Theatre in high definition on Tuesday, Aug. 30 at 7 p.m. The band will perform songs from their new album I’m With You in its entirety, plus some of their greatest hits.

▼ MOVIE REVIEW

A time to ponder dreams realized Steen from B5 touched your heart and never truly left. One Day will have you reflect on your life and the days of graduation and how the journey to where you are now has intersected with the dreams you had then. Another jarring factor, kind folks, is the real-

ization that 1988 was 23 years ago. Yup. It was a time of indictments against General Noriega, the birth of the home computer, the Lockerbie air disaster, the Winter Olympics were held in Calgary and Baywatch was the big show on TV, to name just a few of the headlines. This movie will sneak

up on you and it might leave you a bit unsettled, but it’s worth the emotional ride if only to see that life is no romantic comedy, although it does have its moments. It’s so much more complicated, sad, joyful, forgiving and so worth the price of the ride. I give One Day four reels…

Also, watch for The Debt, with Dame Helen Murrin, and The Descendants with George Clooney. Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

Bruce Mitchell Like his other two albums, Bryan comes off as an uncomplicated but likeable country pop singer whose image as the wholesome boy next door is opposite that of Eric Church (he held the No. 1 country album a couple of weeks ago) who fosters a neo-outlaw image. Bryan did earn a degree in business management from university but he also grew up on his family’s peanut farm and that rural life informs his detailed songs such as Harvest Time and I Know You’re Gonna Be There. Bryan has a big new hit on his hands with the somewhat cheeky Country Girl (Shake It For Me) that slightly plays against his tame image as does his one night stand, spring break song Faded Away. But the next single slated for release from this lengthy 13-track CD is the breezy I Don’t Want This Night To End that has a buoyant mid-tempo groove custom made for radio and Bryan’s amiable persona which is probably not that hard to pull off with Bryan’s natural ease.

AVERAGE WHITE BAND: LIVE AT MONTREUX 1977 (EAGLE)

I am really getting to like Eagle Records more and more as they consistently issue hitherto unreleased vintage music from important bands of the past. Recently I have covered albums from the Eagle label by ZZ Top, Willie DeVille, Deep Purple, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore etc. and this new disc from Scotland’s The Average White Band is yet another fine release in their series. This all-Caucasian

band nearly committed career suicide with their ill-advised name, but they changed it to AWB on their album jackets and their career took off with greater sales on the R&B charts, especially in the USA, than the mainstream pop charts. AWB struck platinum with their funky, R&B syncopations with smash hits such as Pick Up The Pieces, Cut The Cake and sometimes romantic disco songs such as Work To Do (a cover of The Isley Brothers’ classic) and A Love Of Your Own. All these tunes are included on this concert set recorded at Switzerland’s famed Montreux Festival where there are extended takes of some of these tunes while the AWB show their roots with a cool 12+ minute Motown evergreen I Heard It Through The Grapevine. It should be noted that the tight rhythms of AWB have been sampled at least a couple of hundred times over the last few decades by hip hop artists searching for cool jams while the near minimal bass and drum take of the 14+ minute Cut The Cake is worth the price of admission alone. B+

er of the Wilbert Harrison gem, even hinted at hippie communal life but Canned Heat could still bring it on as proven by this excellent concert disc. Moreover, the band was joined by famed Texas blues man Clarence Gatemouth Brown on four tracks making this even more valuable for the archives while the closing 14-minute Shake ‘n’ Boogie had the audiences in an uproarious groove. Both the Canned Heat and AWB sessions are available on DVD too. B

ROCKPILE: LIVE AT MONTREUX 1980 (EAGLE)

Yet another from the great Live at Montreaux series—Rockpile were one of the super groups of the new wave rock and roll scene with its twin leaders Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. The latter had a surprise smash hit in the early ’70s with his ultra cool cover of I Hear You Knocking while Lowe went on to a very successful solo career after producing dozens of albums for the likes of Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, The Pogues etc. Drummer Terry Williams went on to join both

Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR

The Who and Dire Straits. Unfortunately, Rockpile were terribly mismanaged in that they didn’t even have rights to their own name so several so-called solo albums by both Lowe and Edmunds were not released under the Rockpile moniker although their legion of fans knew the wiser. Anyway, Rockpile did not perform a lot in concert. Sometimes they were hired as the opening act on large tours only to be fired when the headlining act had a hard time following them. This Live At Montreux finds the band in extremely fine form and shows why they were so loved by fans and critics alike. This is the very heart of vintage rock and roll where the group is unrelenting in its fast-paced rockers as the band blasts through nuggets such as I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock And Roll, Queen Of Hearts, Switchboard Susan, Teacher Teacher, And So It Goes, etc. A welcome and surprising little find but unfortunately, unlike the AWB and Canned Heat releases, no DVD material. B+

Summer is, unfortunately, coming to an end and that means it’s time to wave goodbye to the tourists and start wearing socks again. The end of summer also marks the beginning of an arduous three months for the PEAK Performance Project’s top 20 artists who all start off with a week-long Boot Camp at Rock Ridge Canyon Resort outside Princeton. Already at year three the PEAK Performance Project was created to educate, promote, develop and hopefully launch the careers of some of B.C.’s up and coming artists. It helps to foster the B.C. music industry and create a sense of community amongst music professionals. The music industry is going through profound changes which have resulted in artists being required to develop themselves. The decline in development dollars has left many artists in need of substantial funds to launch their careers. Through 100.5 The PEAK and Music BC, the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group will invest a whopping $5,290,000 over seven years (that’s $755,000

CAROLYN WREN, Searching for the Sublime, 2011, installation view at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Oct. 30.

▼ KELOWNA ART GALLERY

A seemingly simple medium executed on an epic scale

nthusiasts of outdoor sketching who come to see this new exhibition may suddenly find that their sketchbooks seem unbearably small. Ontariobased artist Carolyn Wren has created enormous panoramic ink drawings that extend over the lengths of two gallery walls, and in one case,

ON VIEW

Liz Wylie wrap to cover a third. The scale of the elements

seems to be about life size, and the works are rich with images of overgrown trees and bushes, and a rushing white stream in the forest. All in all, it may mean a trip to the art supply store to scale up one’s art supplies! A visitor to this show may have many quickly forming impressions,

and also various thoughts that come bubbling to his/ her mind. For example, what exactly is the oddlooking support material for the black brush-andink drawing? Upon examination it is revealed to be the tissue used for dressmaking patterns, tiled and overlapped in various configurations, and pinned to the walls.

So with the intrusion of the printed pattern marks and text, the notion of the human body is enfolded into this examination of landscape and the tradition of representing nature. Due to the yellowish tinge of the tissue, especially when it overlaps another sheet, one has the odd sensation of being in

the presence of something really old, because one associates this colour with aging newspapers, and pieces of dried old cello tape. But the work was just painted this year.

‘‘

IT IS AS THOUGH THE HUGE TISSUE DRAWING IS GETTING READY FOR SOMETHING MORE PERMANENT THAT IS TO FOLLOW.

As well, the giant drawings look oddly temporary, the way a Renaissance cartoon for a huge painting project would have seemed when attached to a wall for transfer before painting. It is as though the huge tissue drawing is getting ready for something more permanent that is to follow. But it is, in fact, a finished work, and the sheer density of visual information conveyed in it by the artist using her repeated representational schema is almost overwhelming. One can almost imagine one is in the woods, walking, and stopping to listen to bird calls. The play of light and dark over the foliage and tree trunks, the way the moving water in the stream tends to blur into white foam—all the plethora of observed data is there. While in Kelowna to install her work the artist admitted that she hates

sewing, which is surprising, as in fact she has extended her practice as a printmaker into the realm of textiles and garments in several instances in the past. So the dressmaking patterns as a support for Wren’s painting is in keeping with her usual thrust, and ought not to be seen as just a stunt or a gimmick on the artist’s part. It is the pushing against the envelope of traditional, editioned printmaking and against notions such as scale, visual reference, materials, and theme that has consistently intrigued her. Ultimately, the overriding emotion or state of mind experienced by gallery viewers well might be that of nostalgia. Certainly the panorama itself is from the 19th century, and we do not often see large works of representational drawing in our own period. We may become nostalgic for a time when straightforward landscape art could carry the day intellectually, and for an era when the notion of the sublime still had some currency. There are layers of complex meaning and reference in this work that are not immediately apparent, but like the printed notations on the pattern paper, eventually they make themselves noticed. Carolyn Wren: Searching for the Sublime is on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery until October 30. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. 250-762-2226

Beneﬁts of home ownership Pride of home ownership is the number one reason why Canadians desire their own home. There is no landlord looking over your shoulder. You are able to make home improvements knowing that any appreciation that results, will be to your beneﬁt. Home ownership gives you and your family a sense of stability and security. It’s making an investment in your future. In Canada, especially in the last few years, homes have appreciated considerably and in doing so have added substantially to owners net worth. Unlike stocks and bonds, you get to live in your real estate investment. Also, in Canada your principal residence is exempt from capital gains taxes.

WILLIAMSON, ROBERTA LAVURN

Lost & Found

Slipped away to the other side on August 15th, 2011 in Kelowna, BC at the age of 83 years. She lived life to the fullest, thoroughly enjoying her professional life as an L.P.N.

Those who knew her will never forget her sense of humor, or how she loved to laugh, sharing her deep love of life, contagious enthusiasm, and bright enlightening smile. Roberta Lavurn is survived by her two sons, Cambell Roy Williamson (wife Margaret), of Surrey, BC and Daryl Stacey Williamson of Kelowna, BC, sisters: Kay Bennett of Kamloops; and Joyce Edward (Bill) of Vancouver. Her adorable grandchildren: Lori (Trevor), Nicole (Robi), Jeff (Jen), and Amanda; her great grandchildren: Omar, Avery, Nathanial, Leah and Brianna. Lavurn is predeceased by her oldest son, Richard Wayne Williamson, and her loyal husband, Richard Dean Williamson; sisters Lottie, Edna, Mary, brother Raymond; her parents: Christina and Roy Lidstone. A Celebration or Roberta Lavurns amazing life will be held at First Memorial Funeral Services, 1211 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna on Tuesday, August 30th, 2011 at 11:00 A.M. with Rev.Wayne Laurie ofﬁciating.
