Mud-boggers rip up drinking water source
Vandals trash a city garden plot
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Rick Jessop and his wife were enjoying a peaceful evening camping Friday night, listening to the loons calling and the frogs croaking—but by the next night all wildlife in the McCulloch Lake area was silent. A group of six mud-boggers moved in Saturday and tore up adjacent Minnow Lake with their trucks. “They just destroyed the area,” said Jessop. “People get their drinking water out of there, and it’s a wildlife preserve.” “This has to stop. There’s nothing wrong with having fun, but they don’t have to destroy wetlands,” he added. Conservation officer Ed Seitz gave tickets to five of the drivers Sunday, under the Forest and Range Practices Act, for VIDEO VID ID DEO EO ON ONL ONLINE: NLLIN N INE: INE www.kelownacapnews.com destroying wetland and riparian environments. Each carries a fine of $575. “They harmed the lake bottom and the aquatic vegetation,” explained Seitz. Both McCulloch and Minnow Lakes are part of a chain of reservoirs for the South East Kelowna Irrigation District. Seitz is asking for public help identifying a group of young people he talked to in the McCulloch or Browne Lake area Sunday. There were three women and two men in the 20s in a camo-coloured side-by-side ATV, with bench seats in the front and back, who said they were camped at Browne Lake. The vehicle was driven by a dark-haired young man on McCulloch Road at about 4 p.m. Sunday. If anyone saw them or has any information about them, contact Seitz through the toll-free Record All Poachers and Polluters line at 1-877-95227277(RAPP). Tipsters can remain anonymous.

In the larger scheme of things, the $500 in damaged plants experienced by Glenmore community gardeners over the past couple of weeks is hardly enough to label the area seedy. But talk to some of the gardeners dealing with hoodlums just off the Brandt’s Creek Trail and you’ll find they’re plenty concerned about what’s happening. This past weekend plants in the brand new plots in Sutton Glen Park were destroyed for a second time in two weeks—a rarity for the Central Okanagan Community Garden Society. The plots in Rutland, just off the highway on Ambrosi Road and even downtown—just a stones throw from several popular local bars—have gone relatively untouched.

Man learns to pick his fights
An apparently drunk man angling for a fight picked the wrong person to take a swing at Monday night. The 32-year-old Surrey man, who appeared to be intoxicated, was wandering in the downtown area and trying to punch any other man he came into contact with. “Eventually, he chose the wrong person,
who swung back and knocked the 32-yearold unconscious,” said Const. Steve Holmes. The man who landed the punch left the area and police and ambulance crews were called to take the Surrey man to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment of a head injury that he sustained when he fell as result of the blow.
“The (man) continued to cause problems at the hospital and was eventually sedated as he was becoming a danger to himself and others,” said Holmes. Police are not contemplating charges against the man who hit the Surrey resident, calling his actions a defensive move to protect himself.

On May 15, southeast Kelowna resident Eric Thomas, 53, went kayaking alone and was reported overdue the following day. That night, his truck and kayak were found at McCulloch Lake and a search was launched for him. Thomas was not believed to have been wearing a life jacket when he disappeared. The search culminated in the RCMP dive team being brought in May 18. However, the search was suspended the next day because of poor underwater visibility.

Missing woman found Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A grim discovery has turned a missing persons case into a murder investigation. Police confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the body of Brittney Lee Irving, the woman who went missing seven weeks ago, has been found. “An autopsy has been conducted and police are now treating Brittney’s disappearance as a homicide,” said Const. Steve Holmes.

family on Monday. Police have not said where or when Irving’s body was located, nor what information led them to find her remains. As well, investigators are not releasing how Irving died, nor when she was killed. Irving was last in contact with her brother around 1 p.m. on April 6 before she left a Harvey Avenue hotel to meet someone in Rutland. Police said they were investigating reports that she was going to meet a drug dealer. The following day, the young woman was reported missing and her blue Ford Explorer was later found abandoned at a pullout on Philpott Road, off Highway 33. On a Facebook page set up to help find Irving, condolences to her family and friends were pouring in following news of Irving’s death, called “absolutely heartbreaking” by one member of the page. “Such a tragic ending for such a beautiful young girl. My thoughts and prayers are with Brittney’s family and friends,” wrote another poster.

Public’s help needed to find wild sheep that wandered into Kelowna Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Your help is needed to track down a small group of wild California bighorn sheep which have wandered into the Mission area of Kelowna from nearby Okanagan Mountain Park. They were first reported May 13, when someone spotted them walking down Gordon Drive in the area of DeHart Road. A few days later they were reported in a pasture in the area alongside domestic sheep, and that will prove fatal to them, according to environment ministry biologist Brian Harris. In 1999 a herd of bighorns in the South Oka-
nagan was decimated by an epizootic caused by their contact with domestic sheep. Over just a few months, more than 300 wild bighorn sheep died from a pneumonia-like illness, caused by the pasteurella bacteria. It’s one that domestic sheep carry and it causes them no harm at all. However, nose-to-nose touching with their wild cousins or even a sneeze is 80 to 100 per cent fatal for the wild ones. Because sheep are herd animals, if one is sick they are all likely to get it, explained Harris, so all of the sheep who may have been in touch with domestic sheep in Kelowna must be found and put down to prevent them from spreading it to
the rest of the Okanagan Mountain Park herd. The South Okanagan herd went from 450 to 160 animals in a few months. It is now recovering and high fences separate the wild and domestic sheep in that area. In 2007 and 2009, wild sheep were transplanted into the park from the Keremeos area and Harris estimates that herd has grown from 50 to more than 75, not including the new lambs being born this month. All that effort could be for nought if they catch this disease. Two of the splinter group visiting Kelowna were found on the weekend, but one got away into the Bellevue Creek area, said Harris. He speculates they
were chased into Kelowna by coyotes or cougars, because he can’t imagine why else they would leave the good forage in the park for city life. If you spot one of these wild bighorn sheep in Kelowna, immediately call the 24-hour, tollfree ministry reporting line with the exact location and time. It’s the Record All Poachers and Polluters line at 1-877-95227277(RAPP). He’s also interested in finding out what route the wild sheep took into Kelowna from the park, in order to try and devise a way to discourage any more from leaving, so if you have seen any in the past few weeks, e-mail him at brian.s.harris@ gov.bc.ca to let him know
CONTRIBUTED
BIGHORN SHEEP that wandered their way into Kelowna are now being sought by
wildlife officials because if they come in contact with domestic sheep, they can pick up a disease that is fatal to other members of a bighorn herd. where you spotted them. Survival of the whole herd is now reliant on
public assistance in finding those who wandered into Kelowna so they can
be prevented from spreading disease to the remainder of the herd.

Glenmore garden patch vandalism blamed on adults Vandals from A1 taps turned on all night and a new picnic table riddled with graffiti, in two separate incidents. Tuesday morning, the problems were on the tips of people’s tongues as those coming to garden or to walk the recreational trail stopped to watch city workers clear off the tags with a citrus cleaner intended to protect the environment. Two community gardeners who regularly tend their plot on Ambrosi— without incident—were there to inspect the new garden and check out the damage. And brand new gardener John Nikiforuk, whose first plants have yet to sprout his efforts are so green, came down with hopes his plot had not been destroyed while he was on vacation. “The first time was a Friday and the Canucks had lost a hockey game. So my thought was that it was young adults who
were angry about that. Kids couldn’t do that much damage,” he said. Nikiforuk has some neat stories about gardening. He grew up in England during the Second World War and remembers the victory gardens his family and neighbours used to supplement their rations. The gardens were a critical part of the food system both overseas and here in B.C., but they were also considered a morale booster, a means of building community spirit. Some of that history is preserved in Vancouver, where the Arbutus Victory Garden still thrives today with inner city green thumbs digging into new projects each spring along the railway at 57th Avenue and Ontario Street. But the meaning and place in society of these efforts has changed. Where initially the supplemental plots were seen as a basic necessity, they’re now often a concept relegated to the so-
cially minded or greenfriendly counter flow. By contrast, Nikiforuk describes a time where these gardens, and even things like the backyard chickens that had Kelowna city councillors’ feathers ruffled this spring, were just part of life. Rather than worry about how to set the ground rules for homeowners who want to venture into egg production, when he was young the British government was basically paying off families to take on a few birds to produce their own breakfast. You could trade an egg ration of one egg per week for the grain needed to sustain your own coup, making it a pretty logical move. Whereas today, community gardens and backyard chickens, composting and the like are more likely to go hand-in-hand with movements to reclaim the inner city, reduce environmental footprints and improve the social situation

in places where a green plant among a sea of cement might seem unusual. To this end, the Glenmore plots, sitting beside lush farmland and forests, hardly seem to fit the stereotype for a community garden trying to spur community growth and foster a little commune with nature for a neighbourhood plagued by troubled children. Yet listen to the scuttlebutt on these streets and the neighbours will tell you the community gardeners have found a neighbourhood that is go-
ing to be one tough egg to crack. On the other side of the park where the new plots now sit is a party house burned two summers ago in an arson committed by a 16-year-old youth. The incident was rather dramatic, but most of what happens flies under the radar of the court system as it amounts to minor tagging, kicked in fences, keyed cars. Still, the city worker on hand to clean up some of these latest tags
said they’re now photographing and GPSing even these little incidents before their summer students wash the damage away. If they can associate several tags with a single person and assign a dollar value to the damage, the city believes they just might make some progress with the legal system. As for building community, Nikiforuk said he believes the gardeners will simply have to keep at it. With single moth-
ers and seniors from the surrounding apartments largely occupying these plots, the garden offers an important learning, social and economic opportunity that’s needed as much here as in a traditional inner city neighbourhood where the skyline is filled with concrete. And from the looks of the plots Tuesday morning, already cleaned and sprouting new seeds, they intend to see their efforts grow. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Long weekend quiet for the cops Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
Police say the Victoria Day weekend was relatively quiet from a policing perspective, with the number of calls for service being almost half what they normally would be on a summer weekend. Const. Steve Holmes said the weekend featured the usual liquor-related infractions that resulted in a number of people spending time in jail to sober up, and a child reported missing by her mother on Monday was found within minutes by a police officer on one of the police department’s utility vehicles. Holmes said that Friday’s road check with a conservation officer in the Postill Lake area resulted in a small marijuana seizure, the seizure of liquor and the serving of a driving prohibition. A road check in the Farmer Road area saw a number of tickets for seat belt and driver’s licence infractions, as well as ve-
hicle defects. As well, traffic officers investigated three impaired drivers and gave five motorists 24 hour driving prohibitions. On Saturday, a road check with conservation officers in the Bear Creek Forest Service Road re-
sulted in two liquor seizures. As well, some people were given tickets for no insurance and some were given a roadside breath test for alcohol. Police also investigated one drunk driver and dealt with one driver who refused to give a breath

The time to reduce the threat of wildfire is now, not when a fire is at your doorstep. That message from B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch is the basis for an important community meeting this week. The District of West Kelowna is hosting a wildfire preparedness open house Thursday, 6 to 8 p.m., at Mount Boucherie Secondary School’s multipurpose room. Fire chief Wayne Schnitzler said the primary purpose of the meeting is to equip residents with the knowledge and tools they need to protect their homes. “The whole initiative here is to make the people of West Kelowna leaders in fire proofing their homes and making their properties safe,� the fire chief stated. Schnitzler said now is a perfect time to hold the event with the new forest fire season upon us, and with last summer’s Glenrosa and Rose Valley forest fires still fresh in people’s memories. “Now that there’s an interest again and now that we have everyone’s attention, this is a good time to get the message out,� continued Schnitzler. “Wildfire is something people don’t want to think about
at home all the time, but now that we’ve had one, it brings to mind how close one can come to anyone’s neighbourhood.� Schnitzler mentioned the point of the meeting would not be to raise people’s anxieties, but rather to ensure they were made confident they’d done all they should to protect their homes and feel safer. “The more we get the community prepared, the more houses we will have survive a wildfire.� To that end, the fire department is also available to do individual risk assessments and recommend how residents can improve their home’s fire safety, said Schnitzler. Call 250-769-1640, extension 4 to schedule an assessment or to have a fire prevention officer speak to your block or neighbourhood group. Meanwhile, the meeting will also be an opportunity for the District of West Kelowna to showcase its wildfire preparation and response initiatives, the fire chief commented. “We want to make people aware there are a lot of good things going on.� For example, the municipality has applied to the Ministries of Transportation and Forests for permission to place signs along Sunset Main and Bear Main forestry roads
to provide clearly marked, secondary emergency accesses out of neighbourhoods like Glenrosa and Rose Valley, to either the Okanagan Connector or Westside Road. Also, when it comes to new development, West Kelowna now requires that a forester be hired to perform a wildfire risk assessment prior to any approval of a subdivision in an interface area. And new interface subdivisions are required to follow building guidelines ensuring housing materials are fireproof or fire resistant, said Schnitzler. A good example of how things are changing in West Kelowna would be the difference between the older West Kelowna Estates subdivision, where some houses still have cedar shake roofs and wood siding, and the newer, adjacent Rose Valley neighbourhood, where asphalt tile roofs and stucco siding are more commonly used. At Thursday’s meeting, a number of officials from the RCMP, emergency operations, Emergency Social Services, the forests ministry, Westbank First Nation, Central Okanagan Regional District and the Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team will also be available to answer questions and provide fire safety information. jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

Police reveal details of a shooting at a property they know well Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER
A notorious property in East Kelowna was the scene of a shooting last week, police revealed Tuesday. Const. Steve Holmes said officers were called to Kelowna General Hospital a week ago after a 41-year-old man suffered an apparent gun shot wound to his foot. The victim, RCMPsay, revealed he was hav-
ing an argument with another man in his June Springs Road home when he was shot by the man. Holmes did not know the extent of the wound the victim suffered. As a result of the police investigation into the shooting, 50-year-old Daniel Bellemarre was arrested near the property, located in the 4400-block of June Springs Road. A later search of his home, which is located elsewhere on the same
property, turned up a number of firearms. Police say the incident appears to be drug-related, but declined to elaborate. Holmes said the property is one that police have been called to on numerous occasions over the past few years. Just two months ago, officers dealt with another shooting on the property after a suspect fired a shot during a home invasion at one of the homes located there.
Commissionaire beat up A commissionaire trying to close down City Park for the night was rewarded with a split lip by a pair of men he was trying to get to leave the park. Just after midnight on Sunday, the 66-yearold commissionaire told the two men the park was closed and they would have to leave. “One of the males punched the victim in the face, splitting his lip,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “The two males then
started beating the victim, who was able to defend himself by swinging a flashlight at them.” The men ran off and a police dog searched the area but was unable to locate the assailants. Both suspects were in their late 20s. One stood around six-feet, two-inches tall and weighed approximately 175 pounds. He was wearing a grey wool sweater and dark pants, had a few days growth of facial hair and
spoke with a French accent. The second man stood around five-feet, seven-inches tall, weighed approximately 140 pounds and had short dark hair. The commissionaire, police say, was treated by paramedics for minor injuries. Anyone with information about the men who attacked the commissionaire are asked to call Kelowna RCMP at 250-7623300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
At the time, Holmes said police had been to the property 16 times in the previous six months. Police say Bellemarre
was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday on charges related to last Wednesday’s shooting. He’s reported to be
facing charges of assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, use of a firearm during the commission of an offence, pointing a fire-
arm and uttering threats. Results of his court appearance could not be confirmed at press deadline.
Has Gout Affected You? Gout is an extremely painful condition that can effect people of all races and ages. It can effect both men and women but it is more common in men. It is uncommon in children and young adults. Gout used to be considered a problem for the rich, kings, gentry, and others who ate too much and drank too much wine. Some people have a genetic predisposition due to a disorder of purine metabolism. In these individuals attacks of gout can be triggered by eating foods high in purines and by consuming high quantities of alcohol. Others can have secondary gout. Secondary gout is associated with another medical condition such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, certain medications, particularly diuretics (water pills), salicylates (aspirin), and niacin. Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood which settlles out as uric acid crystals in the joints. This causes pain, redness, and swelling. Any joint can be involved. Classic signs of gout are pain, redness, and swelling in the big toe or elbow. The pain can be both chronic or can present suddenly. A number of therapies are available. Some more successful than others. SciMed Research is starting a research trial to evaluate a new investigational therapy to lower uric acid, the cause of gout. If you have been diagnosed with or suffer from gout symptoms you may qualify to participate in this research trial. Please call SciMed Research to register for a no cost obligation consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this gout study.

W BIKE TO WORK WEEK
Kelowna rolling in positive direction A
lright pedal people, cycling season is officially on—and well ahead of the rest of B.C. OK, maybe that’s not quite true for those raina-day places where snow never stops the commute, but the official, get your groove on beginning of cycling season—otherwise known as the social marketing machine behind Bike to Work Week—is only just getting rolling in most of the main hubs in this province. In Kelowna, we’ve jumped that hurdle and are on to the next. Lindsay and Darrell Eason, of the local consulting firms Global Affinity and GreenStep, took over the event this year and turned it into a fully green themed experience with plenty of creative new twists, like
by Jenn Smith
spinning the wheel of cycling trivia for prizes. In addition to great eats from Urban Harvest and local organic burgers at the wrap-up barbecue, this year everything from the plates and cups, which were biodegradable products made from sugar, to the healthy snacks had a socially conscious spin. Every day of the week-long event had a greeny-type theme and those who attended were given information on the products used and the reasons why, in an effort to foster better waste reduction habits among those who attended. Really, only the odd tetra pak
straw wound up in the landfill, so the week was pretty impressive. For those who spend plenty of time on their bike breathing in fumes as they try to avoid being one of the ones contributing to them, it was a fitting way to go. But with all of the bike stores contributing bike prizes, not to mention the free eats, the week was also just a lot of fun and no doubt motivated a few more people to climb out of their cars, off the couch and onto to some of Kelowna’s infamous hills. A few of my less enthused colleagues are prone to pointing out cyc-
2 010
lists, and in particular commuters, kind of act like the sun shines out our kiester and, to this end, the naysayers just had to eat their words this year as last year’s dour showers gave way for a Bike to Work Week 2010 to be remembered for its sunny reception. The next big cycling season kick off happens in Armstrong this weekend as the road riders take to their 100-kilometre Okanagan Shuswap Century Ride. Here’s hoping the riders have all been out on the local rollers as there is reportedly one hill that might make you feel like you’re going to fall right off your bike. I almost did this on Dilworth this week, so I won’t be venturing along that route, although I am looking forward to my first turn at the event on the slightly less adventuresome 56-km ride. For commuters interested in recording their clicks for the next round of bike to work promotions, Commuter Challenge is almost upon us. So far this year’s Bike
to Work Week numbers appear to be on track with 46,000 km recorded thus far, with the Bike to School Week numbers yet to be added to the total. Last year, the city recorded 51,127 km by the end of the whole ordeal. Commuter Challenge has been a bit of a tough sell locally by comparison, no doubt because it’s only a few weeks after the first event. Where the Bike to Work Week numbers are compared to those throughout B.C., though, Commuter Challenge is a national event used to spur more riding right across the country. At one point the city was handling the record keeping, then a group out at Flightcraft took it over in the absence of any other support, and now it’s back with the Easons who are looking for teams to sign up. If you’re already riding for Bike to Work Week, the effort amounts to a simple online record keeping and might be worth considering. Check out www.commuterchallenge.ca.

gage. It is against the law to have a financial institution force you to purchase mortgage insurance; Coercive Tied Selling is illegal. What is the difference between mortgage insurance and life insurance? Mortgage insurance is tied to the debt you owe. There is no money left to bury you, or pay for other financial commitments, or to provide a lump sum amount to your family. Mortgage insurance is more expensive than life insurance offered by a life insurance broker. A non-smoker can save up to 50 per cent per month in purchasing life insurance over mortgage insurance, as most mortgage insurance charges the same premium costs for smokers and nonsmokers. A mortgage term is typically five years tied with your amortization schedule, based on a five year renewal schedule. Good health is important when entering a contract so be hopeful you have good health at each five year renewal. Since this is a type of group insurance, when you sell your home, your mortgage insurance is terminated and you start all over again. The bank owns your policy. With mortgage insurance, the underwriting claim process starts at time of death when all information is reviewed. Mortgage insurance approves you to pay premiums. Mortgage insurance does not guarantee your mortgage debt will be paid at death. Life insurance underwrites at time of application. You own your own policy and you choose the amount of coverage, the term of your choice, and your beneficiaries. Use a life insurance broker to shop the life insurance market for the best price, and insurance product to protect you and your family. Mortgage insurance is a very profitable business for the financial institution, but that does not mean you should sign up for it. You shopped for your mortgage; make sure you shop for your mortgage/life insurance.

Succession planning is a win-win strategy U ‘‘ nplanned vacancies in pivotal leadership roles affect the healthy functioning of an organization and consequently impact the bottom line, whether the business is for profit or not. It makes sense to have a leadership succession plan in place and yet too often that strategy is ignored it until a critical need arises. Unfortunately, that critical point can occur rather suddenly and being caught unprepared is never a good idea in the business world. The reality is that people retire, they resign, they get sick or worse, they die

Laurie Mills unexpectedly. With the departure of key leaders and no successors in line, the direction of the organization can easily get off track with dire consequences. Without someone qualified to step up to an empty helm, employee morale and productivity can deteriorate, regular services and operations can falter.
There is also the loss of intellectual knowledge and expertise which may be critical to special projects that are underway. These kinds of disturbances can be avoided. Having a leadership succession process in place helps an organization rebound quickly when key people leave and stay focused on business goals with minimal disruption. The first step is to identify key leadership positions within the organization and establish critical competency levels for those roles against which potential successors can be evaluated.

ipated vacancies in leadership positions due to retirement, promotion or special assignment management can prepare in advance how those will be filled. The real challenge is how to handle sudden, unexpected changes or departures. Does your organization have a process in place so that key vacancies can be filled quickly with a suitable replacement? Does the required talent currently exist in the organization and does management draw on it first before recruiting from outside? The decision to recruit
from within or go external depends on many things, like the organization’s hiring policy, past practices, management philosophy, workplace culture, labour market conditions, etc. External recruitment can be costly so arguably it makes sense to first determine if there is an appropriate internal talent pool available. If the organization has adopted a strategy of developing the leadership potential of existing employees, there may very well be one.

paths encourages them to stay and grow within the organization. And, retaining that talent will make it easier to fill those empty leadership spots when the time comes. Succession planning simply means being proactive about identifying

W AUDIT REQUEST
Local MPs support publicizing their gov’t expenses Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The two local Conservative MPs say they have no problem with federal Auditor General Sheila Fraser probing their expenses. Okanagan-Coquihalla MP and federal cabinet minister Stockwell Day and Kelowna-Lake Coun-
try backbencher Ron Cannan told the Capital News Tuesday they would have no problem with details of their expenses being made public. “I would have no objection to such an audit,” said Cannan. “I’m a taxpayer too so I want to make sure things are being done properly,” said Cannan.
The Kelowna-LakeCountry MP, who said he has had about 10 emails and phone calls from constituents about the issue, said for him, the bottom line is if there is a better way for MPs to spend their money, he would like to know about it. Day, who is president of the federal Treasury Board, said if Fraser
wants to take a closer look at his expenses, he would also welcome the move. After growing public outrage in recent weeks over what appeared to be a reluctance by Canada’s MPs to have their expenses audited as part of a larger audit of Parliament, the House of Commons Board of Internal Economy now appears will-

ing to talk to Fraser about what she wants to do. Day said his party has made it clear to the board, which is chaired by Liberal Speaker Peter Milliken, it is not against full public disclosure of detailed MP expenses. Day said like all MPs, his spending is currently reported in the annual statement of public disclosure but not in an overly detailed way. Still, the amounts listed cover everything, he said. “If I buy a hamburger and charge it to taxpayer expense, it shows up there,” said the OkanaganCoquihalla MP. Fraser wants to audit the administration of Parliament, something she said has not been done in 20 years. An audit of how MPs spend the roughly $544 million they receive each year would be part of the House audit. Expressing bewilderment about why the issue has raised such a public
outcry, the veteran Okanagan MP said he thinks it could be because not all expense categories are broken down. As a result, the fine details of how money is spent by MPs has not been made public in the past. He used the example of his own office supply expenses as an example. Last year, he reported spending a total of $1,497 on office supplies but that figure was not broken down any further. It included many individual items that were not separately listed. Another example he said was advertising. His disclosure did not break down which media outlets were used and how much was paid to them. But, he added, if anyone wants that “minutia,” they are welcome to it. As a committee of the Speaker of the House, the Board of Internal Economy cannot be told what to do by the government, so Day said his party has recommended Fraser be giv-
en permission to do her audit. The board has representatives of all the party’s in Parliament on it. While the issue of how Canadian MPs spend money has garnered a great deal of interest in Canada, Day said any comparisons to the MP expenses scandal in England last year would be unfair. In England, some MPs were found to have billed large personal expenses to the taxpayer. “For instance, there is no budget (here) for home improvements,” said Day, referring to one English MP who was found to have used public money to pay for the cleaning of a moat at his stately home. On Tuesday, Fraser said MPs should not fear her probe. She said while there has been concern expressed about her finding expenses for small items, she has “better things to do than look for $4 cups of coffee.” awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Owls battle Marriott in provincial opener STAFF REPORTER
For more than a decade, a top-10 finish at the B.C. high school AAA rugby championship has eluded the Kelowna Owls. An upset win over Earl Marriott Secondary this weekend in the opening round of the provincial playoffs would bring an end to the streak once and for all. Clearly, the 12thranked Owls will be the definitive underdogs against the No. 5 Mariners on Saturday, but KSS coach Dave Marfleet isn’t about to concede a thing before the opening whistle. “If the boys play their best game of the year, then they can be right there with Earl Marriott,” said Marfleet. “We’re peaking at the right time and the guys’ game is on the upswing, so that’s a good
sign. I expect our players to be ready to play.” The teams met in the preseason with the Owls winning the game handily, but Marriott was using mostly second-line players. “It was a good preseason game for us, but we know we’re going to see their best players this time,” said Marfleet. “I’ve known their coach (Adam Roberts) for years and they’ll be well prepared.” The Owls and Mariners will meet Saturday morning in Kamloops with the winner being guaranteed a top-10 finish. The loser will drop down to the consolation side of the draw. The remainder of the provincial championship tourney will be contested from June 2 to 5 in Abbotsford. It’s the third time in the last five years the Owls have made an appear-

Performance boost for Bears’ soccer Adams
stops Spencer
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A long standing tradition of mediocrity for Mt. Boucherie girls soccer is no more. After finishing no higher than third spot in the Okanagan the previous five years, the Bears have arrived at the acme of the senior girls game. Boucherie beat the Kelowna Owls 2-1 last rThursday in the AAA girls final at KSS and will represent the valley for the first time ever at the provincial championship. t At the end of the 2009 campaign, head coach Adrian Zuyderduyn saw no reason why the Bears program couldn’t take a big step forward. “When last season ended, I sensed we could be a lot better than we had been…third place wasn’t kgood enough anymore,” Zuyderduyn said. “So we shook things up, changed our system and our style and the girls just played with a lot more confidence. “For a long time it was just Kelowna or South Kamloops winning, then finally Salmon Arm broke through last year. I thought, if they can do it, we can too.” The revamped Bears adopted a more offensive approach by employing three strikers and it paid off with 49 goals in 26 games. One of the other hurdles the Bears needed to get past in 2010 was the stigma connected to playing KSS. Boucherie had enjoyed virtually no success against KSS the previous five years, but took care of business this season with three wins in four games. In Thursday’s valley final—the first ever for the Boucherie program— Lindsey Wingerak and Kenzie Byrnes tallied the goals to stake the Bears to a 2-0 lead, before KSS made it close on a goal by

Zuyderduyn said the commitment shown by all involved with the Bears program is commendable. “It’s incredibly satsifying,” he said. “The season is very short, only eight to 10 weeks, so the girls put a lot of hard work into this. We’ve put the pieces together, now we want to make sure it’s not a flash in the pan. It’s important to follow what we’ve done this year and start establishing a winning tradition.” The Bears will compete at the provincial championship June 3 to 5

Kelowna vs ’Loops Thursday non Tigers last Thursday night. Rob Short scored the game winner for Vernon (6-0-1) on a breakaway with two minutes left in the third frame. League-leading scorer Brad Deshane of the Warriors was held without a point for the first time this season. Tyler French led Kelowna with three goals and an assist while Luke Bailey netted The Rutland Raiders will return to action Sat-
urday when they host the Tigers, 7:30 p.m. at Memorial. The Raiders (2-4-1) are unbeaten in three after opening the season with four straight losses. Meanwhile, in senior action the Kelowna Raiders return to Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League action this Friday when they host Armstrong at Memorial Arena. The Rocks have beaten the Raiders (3-2-0) in both meetings this season.
Women round out format Martial from A19 Adams used superior grappling skills and brute strength to stop Impact’s Graham Spencer in the second round. Both fighters held 5-0 records coming into the fight. The lone women’s fight was one of the best as Impact’s Rachel Swatez
collected a $500 bonus for TKO of the Night. After grappling with Prince George’s Lori Ann Hilland for much of the first round, Swatez used a hip toss to take the fight to the mat where she gained full mount and pummeled her opponent with rights. Edmonton’s Phil Wark opened the show with a
unanimous decision over Impact’s Chris Leslie. Other winners were Victoria’s Chris Jones, Toshido’s Russel Davis, Dia Grant of Kelowna’s Avatar Self Defence and Richmond’s David Perron All fights were sanctioned by the Vernon Athletic Committee.

W GARDENING
Barely escaping an infrequent May long weekend freeze
M
y dad often talked to me about the surprise freeze they had on the May long weekend in 1950. This year, we almost had a recurrence of that. Because of that, it sure doesn’t feel like tomato weather! I am delighted, however, that we are getting some valuable precipitation. The danger of frost in most Okanagan locations is now past and tomatoes peppers, eggplants and other heat lovers can be safely planted out without hardening off to acclimatize them.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett Be aware though that plants which have been in a sheltered or somewhat shady environment have to be hardened off to the heat of the sun. We have all made the mistake of planting something out and having the foliage turn white. It can happen with geraniums as well as toma-
toes and other species that normally need as much sun as possible, but will not be happy if they are plunged into it after being used to the shade. I suggest placing the plants in a morning sun situation for a few days before planting out. Or, provide some sort of protection in the garden for them such as a screen made out of cardboard or better yet a piece of plywood. It doesn’t take too long for the plants to get used to the sun, however, they can be set back severely if these steps are not taken.
••• It looks like we may be losing an old friend— the giant Colorado blue spruce at Orchard Park shopping centre. This tree has been there for as long as I can remember. It was the beacon we watched for to mark the turn in the road to Rutland. As we left town at Burtch’s pig farm about where Parkinson Recreation Centre is now, we could see the tree way down the road. The only businesses between our family’s nursery and the tree were the Benvoul-Inn drive-in
restaurant and the Valley Fruit Stand, operated by the Campbell family. Both of these were situated about where the Woodfire Bakery building now sits. When the farm land on the corner of Highway 97 (the Vernon road in those days) was developed for the shopping centre, the big tree was the only plant saved. At the time, I felt its time was limited giving the disturbance that was conducted around it and the subsequent paving. That was 40 years ago and the old tree has manage to survive.
Unfortunately, it is now showing signs of decline, now only a matter of time before it succumbs. It may surprise us, though, and hang in there for a few years yet. ••• I understand there are some tickets still available for the Earth Wind Fire event on Saturday at the Delta Grand. I was thrilled to have as our guest last Saturday on my radio show Stuart Klassen, the executive chef for the Delta Grand and the man in charge of organizing the 15 other chefs involved in the event. This is going to
be a first class selection of the best culinary experts in the valley and beyond with much of the produce garnered from local sources. Klassen’s description of some of the fare that will happen Saturday night really made my mouth water. Just a few days left so I hope you can join me for a fabulous evening of food fun and beverage. Visit www.thenaturetrust.bc.ca for tickets. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on the new AM 1150 Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m.
W URBAN FARMING
Planting a new seed for Detroit’s inner city neighbourhoods Jeff Seidel CONTRIBUTOR
Edith Floyd stands in her garden—a small pocket of life in a neighbourhood that died long ago on the east side of Detroit— and the birds are chirping, and the sun is warm and strong. A butterfly flutters over a patch of dandelions. Soon, the ground will be covered with cucumbers and peppers and watermelons. The dirt smells fresh and rich, like farm country, somewhere far away; and then, suddenly, a siren goes off, piercing the serenity like a poke in the heart, and an ambulance comes screaming down Van Dyke. Cars are whizzing by, and somebody is yelling, and a dog is barking over by the empty lot where punks dump stolen cars. Across the street, a van stops in front of an abandoned house on Mt. Olivet. Two men get out and walk inside. Floyd watches intently. There is nothing left to steal from that old house. It’s an empty shell from another time, back when cars were driving the economy. The windows are shattered. The front door hangs off its hinges. The ceiling has crumbled onto the floor, and most of the home’s innards have been stolen: the toilet and cabinet doors and electrical wires.
“Watcha doing?” Floyd screams. She can remember a time when this block had 65 houses. Now, only six homes have people living in them. Many of the houses burned down or were just left behind when the auto jobs started disappearing. Floyd, 61, is an opportunist, a master of working the system and getting things for free. And she has started a garden that keeps on growing. She farms about a half acre on several empty lots she adopted from the city, and she recently received permission to plant on more land across the street from her home. City leaders call it urban farming. Floyd calls it a passion. She looks at empty plots and sees potential and possibility. Floyd’s neighbourhood is like many in Detroit. Some have estimated that there are 70,000 vacant homes. But Floyd
doesn’t see blight. She sees future farmland. While politicians debate the concept of urban farming—Should zoning laws be changed? Who should be allowed to farm? Is this a viable option for Detroit’s vacant land?—Floyd has quietly worked behind the scenes, making it happen on a small scale. One seed after another. Soon, she will plant her peppers and cucumbers and garlic. “Once you eat garlic out of this garden, you won’t want to eat dried up garlic from the store anymore,” she says. Floyd started her garden about 20 years ago on a vacant lot that used to be a dumping ground for tires. She cleaned up the tires and planted 200 little pine trees. That fall, the city mowed the grass and accidentally cut down all the trees. “My children cried, and I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” says Floyd, who
has lived in this neighbourhood for more than 40 years, raising four kids with her husband, William, 71. The next year, she got a second lot through the adoption program. Which turned into a third lot. Over the years, she has planted squash, peas, corn, tomatoes, spinach, watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumbers. “I love it!” Floyd says. “I love to put the little seed in, and the seed grows up, and that’s the best feel-

kitchens. Floyd works in the garden every day, pulling weeds, but she also gets help from neighbours,
schoolchildren and volunteers who have to perform court-ordered community service.

Making the right judgements
T
he first signs of graduation tend to come weeks before the official celebration. Young girls shopping for dresses, students studying for finals and fundraisers from car washes to plant sales are held around the community. But there are also the unwelcome indicators, many alcohol-related—broken beer bottles in parks, vandalized property and other remnants of pre-grad partying. With freedom looming and
the prospects of university, travel or simply doing nothing within arm’s reach, senior students are likely to mix their excitement with alcohol. And while the combination can be lethal in itself, factoring the operation of a vehicle into the equation is all the more troublesome. According to Traffic Research Foundation of Canada, of the more than 1,000 people who died in Canada from alcohol-related crashes in 2007— from which the most recent sta-
250-763-3212
tistics are available—teenagers accounted for the second highest number of incidences. In response, schools continue to take a firm zero-tolerance stand, and there’s no doubt increased measures to cut alcohol out of celebrations have made liquor consumption more difficult. Dry grads are known for strict constraints, with participants prohibited from leaving early without consent of a parent; body and purse searches conducted upon entry and the
presence of security personnel prominent. But no matter how stringent the regulations, alcohol will play a role in this year’s grad parties. Students will get drunk, and many will find their way behind the wheel. Of those, a certain number will crash, and some will become injured. Some will die. The only hope the public has to lessen the impact of drinking and driving is by continuing to educate, for there’s a whole life after graduation worth living.

But it’s the latest salvo in this war to maintain secrecy that is most troubling. Under the guise of protecting staffers from political partisan attacks and “bullying,” the cabinet says because the buck stops with a minister, he or she is the only one who will appear before Parliamentary committees from now on. (On Tuesday, local MP and federal cabinet minister Stockwell Day said deputy ministers would still continue to appear.) But allowing bureaucrats to thumb their nose at Parliament is hardly the openness and transparency the Tories say they want in Ottawa.
If cabinet ministers did the day-today heavy lifting that make government programs work, the cabinet position would be understandable. But ministers are temporary workers. As MPs, they need to be re-elected every four years and are sent to Ottawa to make decisions, not carry out the work itself. That’s the job of their staff. As such, when it comes time to ask questions about how the work is done, he knew what, where and when, their answers, as well as those of their political masters, need to be heard. Just three weeks ago, the Speaker ruled Parliamentary committees could
call whoever they want and asked for any documents they want. Now this. While it’s true a minister is responsible for his or her department, he or she is not the only one who knows what is going on. With thousands of employees in a given ministry, there is no way the minister can know everything. So, if they depend on staffers to keep them in the know, shouldn’t Parliament, and as a result the public, also be able to hear directly from the worker bees as well?

A Gift in Memory ‘…Lives taken by abortion Makes a Difference Let’s never return to back- are a horrific loss to society’ 250-860-2356
street abortions To the editor: Paula Cryderman is right when she writes: “Remember what it was like before a safe choice existed.” As an 84-year-old female, I certainly remember. I remember my neighbour with nine children who died of a backstreet abortion in the 1950s. Every so often the prolife people hold a rally along Highway 97 in front of my building and the
ones with the signs out there that upset me the most are the old women. They should know better. The men probably don’t know any better. No one should be forced to have an abortion, and as far as I know, no one is, but every woman should have the choice. The pro-life propaganda is just that and nothing else. Rose Lynch, Kelowna
To the editor: Re: Personal Choices: Pro-choice has been Distorted by Lobby, Friday, May 21 letter to the editor written by Paula Cryderman, West Kelowna Wow. What a testament. Please allow me to address P.C.’s misguided concept of life. One day she will have to answer to her Maker for killing two human beings who deserved life, like she did when her mother did not abort her. Perhaps individuals like P.C. should look at
life differently. Yes, we should consider choices like marital status, education goals, income and emotional preparedness to bear a child. However, after the conception of a baby, not a “clump of cells,” as she refers to this remarkable human being, the choice to destroy it is criminal. It does not take an education degree to grasp that concept. The lives that are taken by abortion are a horrific loss to society of a whole. P.C.’s aborted babies will never be able to offer their talents in this world be-
cause she selfishly chose to get rid of them. Hopefully P.C. and her pro-life advocates will think about such issues that are noted here. Besides taking responsibility for conceiving a pregnancy, the human person must take responsibility for bringing that pregnancy to term. There is help to get through such situations, therefore there is no excuse to choose death for the unborn, as P.C. recommends. Betty Yarrow, Kelowna
Solve CD-21 zone dilemma and keep lake views by sinking ‘highrises’ underground To the editor: My wife Audrey and I love visiting your charming city and try to make it here every year for at least a fortnight’s stay, although the recent arrival of grandchildren back in Carshalton, London has made this difficult. I know that I’m not from around here, but am I alone in thinking that
there’s been too much hot air exhaled regarding the CD-21 zone and highrises? We are amazed at the fuss being caused by the issue of the redevelopment of the downtown area, when the answer is staring you all in the face. Worried about the impact of highrise buildings? Simple, just sink them
into the ground. That way you’ll get all the residential space desired without damaging views of the beautiful lake. Before you mock, remember that mankind has been living below ground for millennia. It’s not a new idea. I’d encourage readers to take a look at the subterranean 12th century churches of Lalibala
in Ethiopia, for a historic example and at Alice City in Tokyo for a modern day prototype. There’s also a terrific “green” case to be made for living lower, not higher. Underground dwellings are cool in the summer, warm in the winter, construction costs are lower (they are largely self supporting) and they don’t
need external painting. I know I’m not a resident of your fair city, but I am a long time visitor and friend, and as such I’d like to say: Come on Kelowna, wake up. Stop staring at you navels. Look around at the outside world and dig for victory. George Tebbitt Carshalton, Surrey England
Blaming pedestrians cheaper than sidewalks To the editor: On Dec. 4, 2009, I was the victim of a motor vehicle accident in Westbank, for which I was held partially liable. I absolutely admit to my lack of judgement. At the time of that accident I was crossing an arterial roadway in a well lit area of Gosset Road and was wearing dark clothing. For my lack of judgement, today I am paying dearly physically with soft tissue injuries, and internal injuries that will likely be with me the rest of my life. The young offending driver was yapping on his cell phone when he literally mowed me down in the middle of a very well lit road. As he was engaged in a cell phone call, but it was not Jan 1, 2010, he could therefore not be charged for “undue care and attention” or the latest obscure new B.C. law as it stands for using a cell phone while driving which seems to be totally ignored from my experience witnessing all the traffic around Westbank still engaging in cellphone
usage while driving. May 19, 2010, on three separate occasions while walking about downtown Westbank I was almost run down with my dog guide in harness in marked crosswalks. I am fed up trying to access my rights as a pedestrian against these total idiots who drive through Westbank, with the attitude they have a right to ignore the laws of driving. I considered my alternatives, carrying a large pocket of rocks to fire through their back windows, and perhaps a large Big Bertha golfing driver to impact an “attitude adjustment” to their skulls, but I realize that would not really resolve anything, much as I am intent on improving my golfing ability. I have taken somewhat extreme measures since December to employ a qualified standard of safety and care, not only for myself but for the service dog guide I employ. As a hearing disabled person, I have purchased a cell phone to photograph and record traffic offenders,
those of you who tend to ignore the obvious speed limits, marked crosswalks, limited access/ no-sidewalks, and vested dog-guides as you drive through Westbank. I have also purchased a safety vest for my dog-guide and for myself: None of these expenses were, of course, compensated through the B,C, government’s disability program which is my current sole means of income. I was led to believe that it is a privilege, not a God-given right of passage because you turned 16, or because you possess an expensive vehicle, that it gives you the right to fly through stop signs just because you are “running late” or crowd us pedestrians off the road. It is really difficult to maneuver a scooter, wheelchair or a child’s stroller on a piece of roadway that you seem to feel belongs to you personally, simply for the fact you have a driver’s license. I recall we actually had several of our honorable Liberal government ministers charged with im-
paired driving, speeding infractions and such. Obviously the very people we elect to represent us with safe driving standards in B.C. could careless about respecting them. Statistics record recently that Kelowna had eight fatalities last year and are recording more pedestrian-related MVAs. West Kelowna Mayor Findlater stated recently we all should be “more vigilant and cautious as motorists as well as pedestrians.” Well hello Mr. Mayor, what about providing some adequate street lighting and paved sidewalks so they might be able to leave their affordable housing to do shop-
ping, banking and medical appointments. Mandy handicapped people are without the means to own a vehicle or even have access to HandiDart in this area, which is another joke in itself. It’s all well and good to come out attacking the disabled, or the pedestrian for their lack of judgements but it is time to really start, as elected political bodies, instituting a more effective police traffic presence and do something about the lack of sidewalks and safe pedestrian walkways where you earn your salaries for your elected services.

W ENTREPRENEURS
The rising tide ridden by those seeking self-employment O
f all the advice I was given when I left my government career, I recall what a friend in Saskatoon told me who had launched his own entrepreneurial venture: “Self-employment, Joel, is not for the fainthearted.” It has become clear wherever I may find my footsteps taking me that

the globe. Now with the job market appearing tight and with many specialized positions at a premium, self-employment through entrepreneurial pursuit becomes more of an attractive option. In my previous government/corporate world, I recall this mantra: We are all self-employed. It was a call to action on how we should treat our internal customers as if we were in business for ourselves. It was good training for operating one’s own venture because whether you are self-employed or employed, it’s all about getting and keeping customers and building solid, meaningful and long-term relationships with them. So, a quick lesson in your own endeavours, practice being self-employed. It may shine a whole new light on how you re-
late to your customers/clients. In the world of the self-employed, the greatest reality is you only get paid when you work. I do miss my government and corporate days when eight hours was a paycheque even on those seemingly endless slow days when I caught myself surfing the Net for a time (come on, admit it). I still got paid. I got to eat lunch. I even got paid when I went to the nearby mall to find a birthday card for my wife. Contrasting being employed by any organizational entity with being self-employed. On the surface, you’re probably saying, “I don’t want to take the risk, I like it just fine where I am, I like the benefits, the daily routine, the security, the conveniences, the bimonthly paycheck.” Guess what folks, I have missed that at times also. Mostly, I miss the daily interaction with colleagues, friends and clients. But, there are rewards and trade-offs in the world of the self-employed entrepreneur. The freedom is intox-
icating, that feeling of accomplishment is self-assuring, the sense of success is rewarding and working without a safety net is a real confidencebuilder and can be an adventure not to be missed. Remember, with selfemployment via the entrepreneurial journey, it means you and only you, control your destiny and your income. Getting up in the morning, walking down the hall to your home office brings on a different kind of “rush.” Plus, not much traffic at 7 a.m. It’s rather glorious in itself. Peter Drucker, author of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and long considered one of the fathers of the entrepreneurial path, says that anybody from any organization can learn how to be an entrepreneur, that it is “systematic work.” But, there is a difference in learning how to be an entrepreneur and succeeding as one. When a person earns a degree in physics, they become a physicist. But, if you were to earn a degree in entrepreneurship, it does not guarantee it would make you an entre-
preneur. So, my friends, take a look closely at this option for your life’s journey. It doesn’t matter the when you begin but that you seriously explore the journey itself. It’s a choice facing a multitude of highly skilled experienced professionals and career workers across our Okanagan region and this province today. You never know when you may be asked to trade in your parking spot at the office. Ultimately, we a re all self-employed, aren’t we? So, let’s look a little closer to this new personal horizon. The challenge of selfemployment can be overwhelming to a person who has always worked for someone else. The very idea of selfemployment can, at times, send ripples of fear and anxiety into the hearts on traditional workers. Traditional people, it seems, do not think seriously about stepping into the unfamiliar world of self-reliance. Simply put, most people are followers who don’t wish to be indepen-

dent. Society has spawned a workforce that happily does its bidding. So, why would you really even contemplate joining the ranks of the rising tide of the entrepreneurial self-employed? Isn’t working for someone else less risky and just plain easier? Quite possibly so, but that is no consolation for many of us as we find that we must step outside the box to find and experience a real life experience. It’s not about freedom, people, for no one is truly free. It’s about the challenge and satisfying an inner urge for living life to its fullest. It’s about an adrenalin rush in the risk and facing life in a whole new dimension never before embraced. And, in the end, it’s about finding your true self that you may, unknowingly, had hidden for an abundance of your life to that point. Perhaps your approach to entrepreneurial pursuit may be personalized, but in the final analysis your product or service that you arrive at may have been done over and over in the marketplace. But, there is one large difference between you and the others that have gone before you. That ingredient, that magic pill that spawns greatness and the dream machine outcome is— you. You are the factor in the entrepreneurial spirit of which this column is dedicated. The depth of your endeavour depends on your ability to perform. You must prepare to dedicate yourself for battle by making certain you can face the challenges that lie before you. Speaking from experience as one who has launched several ventures in his “young” life, there’s nothing to it—your entrepreneurial spirit will guide you through the roller coaster ride I so often speak of that can become your success train. Finally, you may now want to pursue an investigation into becoming selfemployed through entrepreneurship. Doesn’t everyone?

NEWS W BIKE SAFETY
Got wheels? Get a helmet Bicycles. Scooters. Skateboards. Inline skates. For thousands of children in the Okanagan, these are an important part of life. They are both fun and practical ways for kids to get around their neighbourhoods and communities. They encourage kids to get outdoors and be physically active, helping set the stage for long and healthy lives. Yet, as with any form of transportation, bikes, scooters, skateboards and inline skates also bring risks. Did you know that in Canada, head injuries are the No. 1 cause of serious injury and death to kids on wheels? Wearing a helmet could save your child’s life. “Protecting our kids from any injury, including head injuries, is paramount. That’s why British Columbia was the first province in Canada to require bicyclists of all ages to wear a CSA-approved helmet when cycling on public roadways,” said B.C. Health Living and Sport Minister Ida Chong. “Government also supports the B.C. Injury Research and Prevention Unit, which is a leader in the injury prevention field and in the development of evidence-based prevention strategies,” Chong said. Safe Kids Canada is promoting helmet safety through this year’s Safe Kids Week, May 30 to June 5. Safe Kids Week is the largest annual national child injury prevention awareness campaign in the country. Interior Health (IH) is helping to spread the message during Safe Kids Week. “The human skull is just one centi-

metre thick,” said Dr. Paul Hasselback, IH medical health officer. “A properly fitted helmet helps protect your brain from absorbing the force from a crash or a fall. “A properly fitted and correctly worn bike helmet can make a dramatic difference, cutting the risk of serious head injury by up to 85 per cent.” There are many reasons why children may suffer injuries when biking, scootering, skateboarding and inline skating. These include loss of control, lack of traffic safety skills, travelling at higher than safe speeds and the tendency to attempt stunts and difficult manœuvres. In Canada, 10 to 14 year olds suffer more than half of all serious cycling injuries, but 5 to 9 year-olds are not far behind, at 40 per cent. While the most common injuries are broken bones and scrapes, head injuries are the cause of about 80 per cent of child cycling deaths and more than one-quarter (28 per cent) of hospital admissions for cycling injuries. Even seemingly minor bumps to the head can cause permanent brain injury. British Columbia’s Motor Vehicle Act requires parents or guardians of children under age 16 to be sure their children are wearing a helmet when riding or travelling as a passenger on a bicycle. But laws alone are not enough. Parents will always play a key role in helping keep their kids safe on the road.

In the meantime, you can pick-up “take-out” only at their second location, the Wok Out at 111437 Glenmore Rd. (in the complex beside Brandt’s Creek Pub), until the new relocated restaurant is opened.

W WORKPLACE
Technology’s impact on the employment relationship A ‘‘ waitress in North Carolina recently found herself looking for work after posting a complaint about customers on her Facebook page. This is just the latest example of the increasing impact of technology on the employment relationship. According to published reports, Ashley Johnson was a waitress at Brixx Pizza in Charlotte, North Carolina.
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson Apparently she received only a $5 tip from a couple who sat at a table for three hours (and kept her at work for an hour past the end of her shift). Johnson felt slighted
by the couple and complained about them on her Facebook page. She labeled the customers “cheap” and also identified her employer’s restaurant by name. She was fired from her job a couple of days later for violating a company policy (banning employees from speaking disparagingly about customers) and for publicly casting the restaurant in a bad light. As a side note: I have
to wonder about any business needing to implement a policy banning employees from speaking disparagingly about customers. That strikes me as a sign they should either take a close look at appealing to a different clientele or finding new employees. A close read of daily news publications reveals more and more stories similar to what Johnson experienced. Recently in Auck-
land, New Zealand, a news item told the story of Vicki Walker, who was fired from her job, in part, because of her “confrontational” emails. Walker had apparently made a practice of using block capital letters, bold typeface, and red typeface in emails. Her employer was reported to have viewed her habits, including her email “style,” as creating disharmony in the workplace.
Don’t miss out!
SALLY BEAUTY SUPPLY
A recent Kelowna newspaper told the story of a spa employee who found out she was fired by reading a message sent by her employer to her Facebook inbox. The employee was offended by receiving such harsh news electronically. The employer indicated it had tried, unsuccessfully, to contact the employee by telephone with the news of the termination. It wanted to get the fir-
ing over with and so resorted to the surefire electronic method. These are just a few examples of how the presence of modern technologies is having an impact on the employment relationship. The relationship is changing and, perhaps more precisely, the way in which the relationship is conducted (by both sides) is changing. Johnson’s situation with Brixx Pizza demonstrates how the easy availability of self-publishing mechanisms like Facebook can lead to trouble. Employees need to understand that posting negative comments about their employer (or their employer’s customers) on the Internet is not the same as griping to another person over the telephone. Whether Johnson’s conduct would have amounted to just cause for summary dismissal in Canada is perhaps questionable. There can be little doubt, however, that it would have been grounds for some form of disciplinary measures. Johnson found out, the hard way, that taking your employment onto the information superhighway can leave you on a oneway street to unemployment. Robert Smithson is a lawyer in Kelowna practicing exclusively in the area of labour and employment law.

Vehicles will also be cleaned on a new conveyor belt, allowing that service to be done quicker.

TaylorMade Golf Tip of the Week by Jon Kadin: “Replacing your grips is probably the most important yearly service you can perform on your golf clubs. “Investing a small amount of money each season not only enhances the life span of your equipment, it is vital to your success on the course. “Examine your grips each spring or after 40 rounds, whichever comes first and determine if they need replacing. “A grip will need replacing if any of the following is evident—the grip is shiny, slippery or loose. If you are uncertain, see your local CPGA professional for advice. “Most local courses have the ability to perform these repairs and have a good selection of grips on hand.” (Jon Kadin is the director of golf at Gallagher’s Canyon; Greg Murtland is the territory manager of TaylorMade.)

After months of patiently waiting, gazing at my lovely pre-sale tickets, and stocking up on numerous pairs of sunglasses, Sasquatch is finally here. In two days I’ll be making the drive down to the stunning Gorge Amphitheatre in the heart of Washington. Although the festival is held in the U.S., you’d be surprised at the number of Canadians crossing the border to attend the festival. Last year, it seemed as if my camping spot was surrounded mainly by Canadians playing ‘Beersbee’ and listening to Sam Roberts. The Canadians came out, but where was all the Canadian talent? Fortunately, this year I won’t have to ask myself the same question. After a noticeable lack of Canadian artists last year, this year is quite the opposite. Here’s a little snapshot of some of the amazing Canadian artists and bands that I’ll be rocking out to at Sasquatch this year: Japandroids: This garage rock duo from Vancouverr pu ve pputt on a ggreat reat re at liv llive ivee sh iv show ow. Al ow Alth thou th ough ou g tthe gh here he ree re on only ly show. Although there’re
The New Pornographers: Also from Vancouver, The New Pornographers are made up of eight members (including the lovely Neko Case). Best described as power pop/indie rock, released their fifth album Together on May 4th—their best in my opinion! Favourite jam: “Your Hands (Together)” Jets Overhead: This group from Victoria provides great ambient indie rock to the masses for free! You can download their first studio album Bridges off their website because, as a band, they decided with all the copyright infringement, peer-to-peer networks, etc, etc, that it was easier to provide the music for free (with the option to pay what you want of course-pre Radiohead!) Favourite jam: “No Nations” Caribou: This is definitely another great year for Daniel Snaith, the electro musician from Dundas, Ont. After changing his stage name from Manitoba to Caribou in 2004 (some lawsuit nonsense), his career lifted off and since then has released and rereleased 11 albums and also won the 2008 Polaris prize for his album Andorra. Favourite jam: “Odesssa” sa

Broken Brok Br oken Soci Social Scene: BSS has been deemed an iindie di rock k musical i collective. The group has had anywhere from six to 19 members (most of them from around the Toronto area) including Kevin Drew, Bendan Canning, Leslie Feist, Jason Collett, and Emily Haines just to name a few. Forgiveness Rock Record was just released in May and it’s everything I hoped it would be and a little bit more. Favourite jam: “Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl” Other Canadian artists playing at Sasquatch include Deadmau5, Patrick Watson, Thursday, May 27th – Bob Andrew @ Cabana Bar and Grille T Tegan and Sara, and City and Colour. Apart from the mass pilgrimage that Friday, May 28th – DJ Sticky Buds @ Cush Supper Club will be crossing the border on Friday to get Friday, May 28th – Darcy Ryan @ Cabana Bar and Grille to the festival, it’s great to have a Canadian Saturday, May 29th – Madison Rivers @ The Grateful Fed presence up on stage.

Charice, last name Pempengco, has been a finalist but never a winner on a few Asian American Idol type reality shows. But the perky and ultra petite Philipino singer became a hit on YouTube thanks in no small part to her terrific pipes that she can belt out in a Celine Dion, Whitney Houston style. Moreover, Oprah Winfrey also discovered Charice and invited the teen pop singer on her afternoon talk show a few times and things have just taken off from there. This self-titled debut album made its opening at No. 4 on the national sales charts. David Foster and writer Diane Warren

country releases. On the spine of this CD case you can read 6P (Six Pack) as Warner tries to market their country star with a six-song mini album (or EP if you will). The title song hit No. 1 on the country charts as a humorous, up-tempo, novelty duet with Trace Adkins and the rest of this EP isn’t bad either. There are some expected love songs highlighted by the pretty You’ll Always Be Beautiful while Shelton tries on a little redneck jingoism with the rocker. Kiss My Country Ass. Jimmy Buffet cum Kenny Chesney comes to mind on the laid back, island steel drum-driven Almost Alright. It will be interesting to see how this EP is received by hard core country fans—the second half of the album, or EP2 comes out later this year. C+
CYPRESS HILL: RISE UP (PRIORITY/EMI)
Cypress Hill have been off the scene for a while now and Rise Up is their first new album in six years. It is on the new Snoop Dogg owned Priority label. The L.A. Latino mixed-race, pot-smoking rappers offer lots of variety on Rise Up with plenty of humour as well. Cheech and Chong revisit some of their early ’70s pothead humour on a few tracks here but the two-man songs of attention both offer up big crossover potential. Tom Morello of Stones Of The New Age produces this new CD and his guitar is featured on the rock/rap title song Rise Up (that mentions the 1965 Watts race riots). Cypress Hill liken this to Santana and Rob Thomas’s smash Smooth for hit potential. Cypress Hill have also scored a sizeable hit on the Latino market with
the Pitbull and Marc Anthony collaboration Armada Latina that heavily samples CSNY’s Suite Judy Blue Eyes. The “Smokesmen� trio also keeps pushing their legalize herb campaign on a few songs such as the R&B grooved K.U.S.H., the shambolic Pass The Dutch and on the funny rap Light It Up. Ironically Gov. Schwarzenegger is contemplating legalizing pot so he can tax the hell out of it to help the growing Californian debt crisis. Maybe Cypress Hill can become his allies? B
FINAL FLASH: HOMELESS (INDICA/EMI)
This new Montreal folk/rock, semi-psychedelic band is getting lots of great notices at important rock showcases such as SXSW, NXNE, M For Montreal and Canadian Cafe Music (part of the Toronto International Film Festival). Final Flash’s music was even picked up for feature play on the popular TV series Vampire Diaries. This is a very impressive debut and it gets better with repeated listenings. There is some cool Neil Young & Crazy Horse-like dynamics on the restless road song When The Day Turns Black, while there is a hint of Byrds to the straight up folk rocker We Leave The Forest. There is even a flavour of Led Zep on the grinders The Black Flame In Me Is The Red Flame In You and The Rain Of Stones. I also get the notion that, like Kings Of Leon, Final Flash might get their big breakthrough in the U.K. where they are currently headed for a few festivals. Final Flight is on the rise and one to watch. B

Jennifer Schell most of her wines straight from the winemakers, making it a very personal repertoire of the best she can get her hands on. These relationships also allow her to nab many hard to find labels that her customers rely on. As a reflection of these community relationships, The Rotten Grape hosts a Winemaker Wednesday series that allows guests to taste a flight of the featured winery’s wares with the winemaker in house, answering questions and chatting with the crowd. Some examples on the Winemaker Menu: Bill Eggert from Fairview and a Dirk Brink from Kestrel winery in Washington.

Saturday, June 5 @ 7:30 pm Since 1997, Pyramid has been playing throughout the Okanagan Valley in Southern British Columbia. As they were continually occupied with live performance and education, the band had seldom considered taking the time to go into a studio and record some of their music. “The hesitation to record did not come about due to a lack of material”, states Bob Ronowski, group bassit, “as Hugh Parsons (keyboards) and Larry Crawford (woodwinds) have been composing for many years, and audiences have always enjoyed listening to their original material. Their new CD What Time does the Balloon Go Up, celebrates the quartet’s 30 years of playing together by recording tunes written by Larry Crawford (woodwind specialist), Bob Gronowski (bassit), and Hugh Parsons (keyboardist), all accompanied by drummer Martin Lord. From serious ballads, bebop, Latin jazz, to medium swing and R&B, the CD reflects the extensive experience and influence of each band member of the years.

The Show Must Go is the band’s most successful album to date, which is no small feat as Hedley’s previous albums, Famous Last Words (2007) and Hedley (2005) both attained double platinum

TRUDEAU, Shawn Raymond
May 15, 1970 - May 20, 2010 It is with much sorrow that we announce the passing of Shawn Raymond Trudeau on Thursday, May 20th, 2010 at Kelowna General Hospital in his 40th year. Beloved husband of Gloria (nee Stotz) of 17 years.

LOCKWOOD, GLEN EDWARD KIRBY
Passed peacefully from this life on Saturday, May 22, 2010, in the arms of his devoted wife Dolores. Left to cherish his memory are his loving son Scott (Jen) and precious grandson Benjamin, sister Rene Tooke, nieces Ann (Steve) Tooke, Gillian Tooke, cousins and other relatives. Five weeks before his diagnosis in September, he was hiking in Lake Louise and Lake O’Hara. Glen faced his medical challenges with extraordinary aplomb and courage. He savoured his days on the ski slopes, even more so this winter. A graduate of engineering physics, he will be remembered for his scientific curiosity and his analytical and questioning mind. He was an avid reader of scientific books and papers, combining that with a love of fine art and love of classical music, in particular Glen Gould’s interpretations of J.S. Bach. He lived his life abiding by the principles of love, honesty and integrity. The beauty of a life well-lived becomes a legacy that stays behind and warms the heart with every memory. A service to celebrate Glen’s life will take place on Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Central Okanagan Hospice Association – Hospice House Kelowna, #202-1456 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2E6.

And as a result, she has been recognized for what the college calls her significant contributions to the lives of numerous cancer patients and their families. Also being acknowledged is Robinson’s extensive experience in a range of clinical environments, including serving as regional professional practice and academic leader and later as regional nurse coordinator for pain and system management and palliative care at the B.C. Cancer Agency . “She not only provided direct patient care, but also mentored others and provided leadership in the development of programs for cancer survivors,” said nursing professor Joan Bottorff, director of the Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention. Robinson’s volunteer work includes service with the Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology, the Okanagan Partnership Economic Initiative, the Michael Smith Research Foundatio and the Kelowna-Zambia Health Initiative. “Her commitment to being an involved citizen of her communities is clearly demonstrated in these volunteer activities,” Bottorff said. Robinson’s research initiatives have received more than $2.5 million in research and educational grants from government agencies. Her research has also helped promote the health of the general public in terms of palliative care, particularly through rural and remote locations across B.C. This work addressed gaps in end of life care, family systems and healthy habits.
