Health centre priority scaled back
Snelson murder trial will proceed Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER
A public health centre in West Kelowna has moved further down the list of priorities for capital funding from Interior Health. The news came to light during meetings with Interior Health officials on Monday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Whistler. Mayor Doug Findlater noted the district had anticipated the move due to the financial situation the province is facing, and not much money being allocated even for small projects from capital funding. “We knew that was possible, but the point of this is to let them know that it’s still on our radar and our community’s radar,” Findlater said. He added that at the same time, West Kelowna does appreciate the financial situation of the province as district officials met yesterday with Health Minister Kevin Falcon and his ministry staff.

Tears flowed and smiles were in abundant supply outside a Kelowna courtroom Tuesday morning after it was announced the man accused of the 1993 slaying of Jennifer Cusworth will stand trial. “When Jean (Jennifer’s mother) heard the judge this morning, she quietly threw up her arms and said, ‘Yeah,’ and I feel the same way,” said her husband Terry Cusworth, father of the teenager who was found dead, in a ditch on the side of Swamp Road, Oct. 17, 1993. The decision marked the end of a 10 day preliminary hearing, where judge Brad Chapman listened to Crown council’s evidence against Neil George Snelson, 44, to decide whether there was enough information to warrant moving to the next step of the judicial process. The hearing doesn’t determine Snelson’s guilt or innocence, although the date for a first-degree murder trial will be set Oct. 18. For the Cusworths, however, even the decision to move forward with a trial marks the home-
Jennifer Cusworth stretch of a battle they’ve been waging since their daughter was murdered nearly 17 years ago. Each year since her death, the family has come to Kelowna to make a public plea for any possible witnesses, or even the perpetrator themselves, to come forward. They would combine their request with a visit to the area where her body was found, bringing with them flowers and speaking to their daughter. This year, that trip will happen a bit earlier than usual, and its tone will be different as well. “We can tell (Jennifer) we’ve come one step closer to getting justice for her,” said Jean, who said she believed the case would go to trial since the See Trial A10

W MINI BREAKOUT WEST
Children’s music showcased for first time Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Got kids? Before you gogo bonkers looking for somewhere to kerplunk your little rascals come the weekend, this fall here’s a hint: Mini BreakOut West. Aptly titled by local lawyer, mom and festival volunteer Andrea West, Mini BreakOut West is the first showcase for the younger set to accompany the Western Canadian Music Awards—and it’s free. The Western Canadian Music Awards show is more than an awards
evening for musicians. It brings with it a four-day festival of musical showcases where many of the bands nominated for awards, and some who are simply outstanding Western Canadian musicians, play for the city hosting the event. There is also a conference of music seminars for musicians, but for the general public, the WCMAs offer a chance to hear some of the best indie music the Western half of this country has to offer and at a really reasonable rate. Patrons pay for a $20 wristband and then walk from venue to venue—all in downtown Kelowna— to take in performances, which usually include a couple of bands/solo artists per venue. Traditionally, the showcases have somewhat glossed over the children’s section, play-
ing bars and restaurants where liquor licensing makes it difficult to open the doors to a tiny crew of fans. But when the organizers of Kelowna’s WCMA event sat down to define how the Okanagan would do things differently, the family friendly criteria made the top of the list. “When I started on the committee, they asked me what I wanted to do and I said I was interested in doing something for kids,” explained West, who has a two-year-old daughter. West had been asked to be on the organizing committee to offer her legal expertise, but also because she is a well-known

live music fan who comes out to support the local music scene. “I’m a huge fan of Canadian music,” she said, noting she jumped at the chance when her firm, Pushor Mitchell, was asked if they might have a lawyer the organizers could work with. Putting together Mini BreakOut West has been West’s second baby and she’s assembled an interesting array of activities to go with the performances. Kids will be able to make their own instruments and spend time in the instrument petting zoo put on by Wentworth Music. Creative director Karma Lacoff has a string of children’s performers who were thrilled to have a space to perform within the festival, including acts like GoGo Bonkers, The Kerplunks, Norman Foote and at least one more yet to be announced children’s star. Sustainability-focused duo GoGo Bonkers are based out of Vancouver and this will be their first time in Kelowna. They employ a handful of crafty characters, like Molly Mushroom, to sing about the importance of spending time in nature. Her friend Heavy Bear gives kids a taste of what it’s like to pack on the pounds after a meal of city garbage and Treevor, played by Trevor Mason, will point out the importance of trees. “The kids—they’re just sponges,” said Mason. “When you start singing Fishing For Garbage and you’ve got a whole sea of kids chanting with their fists in the air, you’ve gotta think something is sinking in.” The go green message has certainly sunk in
for Mason, who said his family has ditched their second car, he refuses to drink out of anything but his reusable coffee mug and he now brings a bag when he’s shopping for (locally grown) groceries. He and musical partner Iain McLaren started out playing together in a heavy metal band in Kamloops, but reconnected for this project. They added the sustainability message after a teacher suggested it might be a good niche for them and the lifestyle followed from there. Another branch of the sustainability spectrum includes promotion of culture and Mason said he was thrilled to have the opportunity to perform at the WCMAs, despite having been rejected from the regular showcase lineup. The organizers didn’t have a venue for them until Mini BreakOut West was conceived, giving the children’s performers a place to strut their stuff and opening the door for a whole new generation of young music fans. “It’s good exposure for Western Canadian artists,” said McLaren, who was writing childrens songs even before the pair reconnected. Gogo Bonkers uses a lead by example style, suggesting choices which are good for the environment rather than focusing on admonishing or pointing out bad behaviour. Children’s music veteran Norman Foote knows all about leading by example. His career is a shining example of how to succeed in the genre and his addition to the lineup is considered a coup.

Kids love music with a good beat Showcased from A3 tracts, penned the music for the Max and Ruby tour that just came through Kelowna and just won a Juno for his CD Love My New Shirt. And with five kids— his oldest is 33 and the youngest is in Grade 2—he’s had plenty of experience entertaining tough crowds. He wrote his first song in Grade 4 and when his teacher told him it was an invaluable talent, he basically stuck with it. With three decades of performance to his name Foote is well-known to Kelowna audiences and just toured the Central Okanagan School District last year, he describes his music as both eclectic and complex. “It’s not rock and roll. It’s not Dixieland. It’s got shades of country, swing, folk and blues,” he said. “The whole kids music thing is a bit of an illusion. A lot of kids really don’t like namby pamby music,” he added. “They like what they hear on the radio.” As such, he tries to write songs that work on a number of levels and says he always likes to add a good beat. The Kerplunks rock the same idea. The four-piece group will also be playing Mini BreakOut West, sharing the Rotary Centre space though they are up against Foote for an award the same weekend and lost to him at the Junos. The children’s music world is just like that, explained upright base player Dinah D. Just like the little ones they play for, the musicians she knows are prone to sharing and caring about how each of the acts are doing. Before heading into

Mountie ready to fight assault charge Const. Chris Brinnen, 39, is fighting charges of assault that stemmed from a bar-flush earlier this year, and a timeline for his pre-trial hearing should be plotted out Friday morning. Brinnen, a 13-year veteran of the Mounties, was accused of assault Feb. 15 by a man who alleged he’d been attacked by the police officer, near a Leon Avenue nightclub, the previous night during bar closing time. Corp. Annie Linteau. said the victim, identified in court records as Kyle Nelson, suffered “minor” injuries, but as a result of the complaint a Criminal Code and an internal code of conduct investigation were initiated. Police later forwarded the results of the criminal investigation to Crown counsel, who laid a charge of assault against Brinnen, who has worked in Kelowna for about four years.
Drunk teenager arrested A Kelowna teenager’s drunken escapade led to his arrest at Kelowna Inernational Airport at about 1 a.m. last Saturday. A West Jet employee noticed an apparently drunk teenager who scaled a 10-foot tall fence to break into restricted property and gain access to one of the airline’s vans. “The airport employee who found the sobriety deprived man, enlisted the help of the airport fire crew, who kept the belligerent suspect in the van until police arrived,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Steve Holmes. Once Mounties arrived, the teen was taken into custody. He’s now facing charges of mischief, theft and trespass under the Canadian Aviation Regulations. He was released, once he sobered up, and will appear in court Nov. 29.

Condolence books for Hawkins to be available to public
W KELOWNA
The B.C. Cancer Foundation has announced it will open three books of condolence for the late Sindi Hawkins, the former MLA for Kelowna-Mission who died last week after her six-year battle with leukemia. Cynthia Waldek-Peters, director of development for the foundation, said the books will be available Thursday morning at Kelowna City Hall, current KelownaMission MLA Steve Thomson’s office on Springfield Road and at the newly renamed Sindi Hawkins Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior. “People can put in thoughtful messages and condolences for Sindi’s family,” said Waldek-Peters. She added there is still a plan to hold a public memorial for Hawkins here some time in the near future, but no date has been set. ‘We are waiting for her family to be ready,” said Waldek-Peters. On Sunday, more than 200 people, including B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, gathered at a Calgary hotel to remember the popular former MLA. Hawkins was living in Calgary with her family when she died last week. At the memorial, Campbell pointed to Hawkins’ courage in fighting her battle with leukemia, praising her courage and the example she set for others in doing so. Waldek-Peters said because Hawkins was such a strong supporter of the cancer foundation and its work, contributions to the Sindi Hawkins Education Endowment Fund to help further cancer research can also be made via the foundation’s website at www.bccancerfoundation.com.
Now that much of the scaffolding has been taken down outside the new Centennial Tower at Kelowna General Hospital, KGH officials say the public is getting a better view at what the project will eventually look like. Work on the six-storey tower, which will house a new emergency department, ambulatory care unit and outpatient services and support services for the planned Interior Heart and Surgical Centre, is on schedule. The tower is slated to open in 2012 and will coincide with the start of construction of the heart centre. Hospital officials said yesterday that inside the new tower, the first floor has been roughed in. It is where the new emergency department will be locate. It is almost complete and in some areas drywall and painting is underway. Because the ground floor was the last one to be

walled in, the second floor is the most complete. Flooring, cabinets, sinks, fixed furniture as well as light fixtures are being installed on that floor. The second floor is where most of the ambulatory care, or outpatient, services, will be provided. Sliding doors have been installed in the clinical treatment rooms and wall protection and bumper rails have also begun to be put in. Flooring is beginning to be installed on the third floor, and the fourth floor—the main mechanical floor—is taking shape with the arrival of major mechanical equipment and hookups to the building’s main infrastructure. The main electrical service to the building is now live, which means that, as equipment is installed, the process of commissioning it and preparing for startup can begin. Work is also just starting on the finished portions of the fifth and sixth floors. These floors will house outpatient beds for departments that will need

The first phase of the heart centre project is already underway, with the issuance of the request for proposals to design and build the new clinical support building across Pandosy Street from the main hospital building. The clinical support
building will be connected to the Centennial Tower by an enclosed, overhead walkway crossing Pandosy. Three companies have been invited to respond to the request for proposals, and their responses are due later this fall. KGH officials say they expect to award the contract by the end of the year, with construction starting in early 2011. Meanwhile, a third
cardiac interventionalist— the doctor who performs angioplasties—has been hired and KGH is expected to name its first cardiac surgeon to the new cardiac program. A second catheterization lab will also open this fall, allowing the hospital to increase the number of angioplasty procedures that are currently being done at KGH. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

W BENNETT BRIDGE
Traffic snarls blamed on expansion joint grout repairs Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
For the second morning in a row, traffic heading from the Westside into Kelowna was slowed to a crawl Tuesday as vehicles slowed down to pass over a metal plate on the William R. Bennett Bridge. The morning commute was slowed because of the plate, located across the eastbound lanes at the west end of the bridge, a plate that covers work being done at night around the bridge’s expansion joint. Similar work was
done on the joint on westbound lanes in the spring. According to the transportation ministry, the work involves the grout around the joint on the 2 1/2-year-old bridge, not the joint itself. The work is expected to be wrapped up by mid-October. It is a continuation of work started last year when problems were discovered with the expansion joint—the pliable rubber and metal joint that connects the floating bridge section to the shore. After the joints were replaced, problems

A few West Kelowna property owners have a little more grace time to pay back taxes before their land reverts to the district. West Kelowna finance manager Lorne Raymond said the 10 properties up for tax sale on Sept. 27 were mostly single family residential properties. The properties enter the tax sale process by
failing to pay their property taxes for three years running. “Once it goes to tax sale, you are required to redeem the property by paying all the taxes up to date.” When a property owner fails to pay, the district covers the amounts owed to other taxation bodies like the regional district, the hospital, the school system and the B.C. Assessment Author-
ity. “Each year, we pay all of those monies out, whether we collect it or not.” Raymond noted when properties enter the tax sale process, the owners still have one year to pay the outstanding taxes. At the end of that period, title on the property is transferred into the district’s name. He pointed out there are Charter limits on how West Kelowna can use the

properties or dispose of them. With residential properties, the limitations are straightforward, usually requiring public notice of a sale to give people time to comment. None of the West Kelowna properties were bid on by private individuals at the tax sale. Raymond expects more activity next year. All municipal tax sales happen in B.C. on
the same day at the same time. In West Kelowna, the minimum bid for a property represents the sum of outstanding taxes, penalties, interest, a five per cent tax sale charge and Land Title Office fees. Raymond noted bids tend to go up during a tax sale, but the final sale price of properties is rarely close to their market value. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

were discovered with the grout holding the joints in place. Yesterday morning, as vehicles slowed to drive over the metal plate on the bridge, traffic backed up on Highway 97 to Hudson Road in West Kelowna during the morning rush hour. Officials have said the plate can withstand vehicles driving over it at 60 kilometres per hour but most motorists have been slowing their vehicles when passing over it because the plate rises about an inch over the bridge’s pavement. The current repairs to the bridge are being done during the night and the grout work project

Snelson faces trial Non-profits voice funding frustrations Mayor Chris Law
Trial from A1
CONTRIBUTOR
Oct. 23, 2009, arrest of Snelson, even though her husband was a bit more tentative about predicting the future. While closing this chapter and moving forward does offer the family cause for celebration, the hearing was far from easy. “It was a hard two weeks and two days…I was in tears a couple of times,” said Jean, of the toll taken by listening to evidence, both verbal and photographic. “It prepares us better for the trial.” She also found a groundswell of support during the last couple of weeks among family, friends and even strangers who filled the seats in the small courtroom. “I didn’t even know some,” she said. “(They said) we’re praying for you, we’ve followed this case and we want to support you.” Members of Snel-
Neil Snelson son’s family were also at the hearing, although they didn’t stay long after the judge announced a trial would be in order, doing little more than exchanging glances with the father of four as he was taken away to Kamloops, where he’s been in custody for the last year. While information disclosed during the preliminary hearing is subject to a publication ban, police have previously publicly linked Snelson and then 19-year-old Cusworth as both attending a house party in the 1700 block of Richter Street, the night she disappeared.
In preparation for the 2011 provincial budget, a 10-member finance committee consisting of government and opposition MLAs, is in the process of making its way around the province. Its job is to collect input from citizens and organizations on topics that they would like to see addressed in the upcoming budget. Last week the committee was in the Central Okanagan with a stop in Lake Country. The presenters concerns were largely specific to their own interests, however, a common theme that was touched on by most was the need for sustained funding from the province to nonprofit organizations. Ballet Kelowna’s Alison Moore told the committee that provincial funding cuts to the arts and the restructuring of how grant money is de-
livered has made it difficult for organizations like hers to secure the funds they need. Furthermore, she says that contributions from community clubs are down due in part to provincial cuts to their own funding. In its budget this year, Ballet Kelowna was forced to trim $90,000 from its previous year’s budget resulting in fewer performances. John Belfie, with North Okanagan Youth Family Services Society, added that the social services sector also needs a commitment from the province to long-term funding stability. “We need to be able to plan three to five years in advance and the constant threat to budgetary support interferes with our planning,” said Belfie. Education concerns in the Okanagan were brought to the attention of the committee by the UBC Okanagan Students Union and by Project Literacy Kelowna. Representing 7,000
members, the students union requested a return to 2001 tuition fees, the restoration of per student funding to 2001 levels, the elimination of interest on government student loan debt, increased need based grants, as well as the creation of job opportunities for post secondary students. By meeting these requests, Kirk Chavarie, external coordinator for the union, says the province could create a rationally planned education system that’s accessible to all. “Student fees have been increasing but financial assistance has been shrinking,” said Chavarie. “The government of B.C. has been busy pandering to big business but it’s not working for us in the midst of a recession.” Project Literacy Kelowna has been working since 1986 to help adults find sustainable employment by teaching basic reading, writing and math skills. Executive director Barb Hagan says that in the last five years the need

for their service has increased but funding has not. “Already we’re putting people on wait lists and the next step is going to be to start turning people away,” said Hagan. Individuals who seek help from Project Literacy often go on to pursue post-secondary education. Hagan says that 80 per cent of the organization’s clients are referred to them directly by Okanagan College. They are people who want to provide for their families but don’t have those basic skills needed to enter the trades programs says Hagan. Eleven organizations took advantage of the opportunity to speak face to face with the committee including Tourism Kelowna, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board, Braintrust Canada Association, and Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art.

Priority from A1 The proposed Westside Health Centre facility is intended to consolidate existing public health services with a medical lab, counselling services and an urgent care centre open for extended hours. “It would have a number of things one would normally go to Kelowna General Hospital for,” said the mayor. Findlater pointed out the centre would serve if someone needed ambulatory care, had a broken arm or needed a cast taken off. For more serious conditions such as a heart attack, residents would still have to travel to KGH. He noted that the centre would certainly reduce the load on the Kelowna facility and offer services closer to home for the elderly. “We will continue to lobby away on this and bring it to their attention.” He said there was no indication how far down the list the Westside facility now sits. Interior Health offered no timelines for the construction of the centre, proposed for property at Bering and Elliot Roads. “I’m told that projects have become higher priorities in communities like Lytton and Williams Lake, for example, where access to health care is more limited and farther away from major care centres like those in Kamloops and Kelowna, which we here in West Kelo wna are privileged to be able to access more easily,” he said. Findlater said he has received assurances that Interior Health will continue to work with the district on plans for the property. msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

Zundel connection sinks HST fighter Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The man that Fight HST listed as its top Kelowna-Lake Country organizer in a bid to recall Liberal MLA Norm Letnick has quit over published comments in a Vancouver newspaper attributed to him that appear to support infamous neo-Nazi Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel. But while Al Romanchuk confirmed yesterday he quit to avoid “tainting” the campaign in anyway, he claimed he never made the statements attributed to him. He also denied being friends with Zundel and said he has never met the man. “AlI know about him is what I have read in the media,” said the 74-yearold retired Albertan lawyer who arrived in the Okanagan five months ago. In last Friday’s edi-
tion of the Vancouver Sun, Romanchuk is quoted as saying his “friend” Zundel was “crucified” for speaking his mind. The quote also had Romanchuk questioning what sort of democracy Canadians live in. “My friend Ernst— the bastards crucified him,” Romanchuk is reported to have told the Sun. “The guy can’t speak his mind in a democracy. What kind of country is this that you can’t speak your mind?” The Sun story went on to say that when asked if he thought Zundel crossed the line, Romanchuk responded: “Of course not.” But Romanchuk claims the first quote was made up and he does not remember being asked, or responding to, the question of whether Zundel crossed any line with his Holocaust denial statements. Zundel was extradited
from Canada in 2005 and served five years in a German jail after being convicted on 14 counts of inciting hatred. For many years prior to his conviction in Germany, while living in Toronto, Zundel participated in anti-Semitic activities and contributed to a website devoted to denying the Holocaust. In Germany, public Holocaust denial is a crime, Despite Romanchuk’s claim that the comments attributed to him in the were made, he said he has no plans to sue the newspaper or to even to contact it about the story. After the commnets appeared he was contacted by Fight HST officials who asked him to step down as recall proponent. He said he agreed because he did not want to taint the recall campaign or hurt Fight HST leaders Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney.
Prior to being interviewed by the Capital News on Tuesday, Romanchuk asked if the interview was being recorded, indicating he would not proceed if it was. When told hand written notes were being taken and he was on the record, at first he said he would not proceed but then, when asked for his side of the story, accused the Sun of printing lies about him. He accusing the reporter, who he described as half his age, of “trapping” him as he tried to quote French writer Voltaire, who famously said that while he may disagree with what a person is saying, he would defend to the death the person’s right to say it. Last week, when the Capital News first contacted Romanchuk following Fight HST’s announcement he would lead the recall effort in Kelowna-
Lake Country, Romanchuk described himself as someone who disagrees with the Harmonized Sales Tax, the Goods and Services Tax and any provincial sales taxes. He said he felt Canadians are being “taxed to death” by all levels of government and it has to stop. He said he arrived here just five months ago and because of the residency requirement could not participate in collecting signatures for Fight HST’s initiative petition drive that pushed the provincial government to hold a referendum on the HST. That vote, which Premier Gordon Campbell has said will be binding, is scheduled for September 2011. There has been no word yet on who will replace Romanchuk as recall proponent in Kelowna-Lake Country. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

It will be a life-changing experience for Manteo pastry chef Robyn Sigurdson, who won an all-expenses-paid trip to Tuscany, Italy, to study and work for 10 weeks on a 65-hectare, historic organic farm that provides exclusive farm-to-table experiences for visitors.

apprenticeship as a chef, I thought I knew a lot about cooking. I soon realized I knew very little about food,” he said. That experience changed his outlook as a culinary professional, says Couper, and he’s delighted the association has decided to fund this Farm to Fork Global Scholarship annually. The winner was chosen in a black box competition held at the Djordjevich family’s Stoney Paradise Farm on the weekend with three young Okanagan chefs, assisted by three new students from the Culinary Arts program at Okanagan College, competed in cooking a three-course dinner for 20 guests. Under sunny skies, the secret ingredients were unveiled in the morning and the chefs were challenged to work under unfamiliar conditions, with primitive tools and equipment— but unparalleled ingredients—to provide a harvest lunch for their guests. In addition to the local lamb, boar bacon, sockeye salmon, scallops, squash, Coronation grapes and dried morel mushrooms, the chefs were invited to forage amongst the fields and vineyards surrounding them for produce to add to their meal. Sigurdson’s score was only slightly higher than that of fellow competitors Tiffany Anderson, from Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Estate Winery, and David Colombe, with RauDZ Regional Table.

Take part in a fun celebration Dave Willoughby CONTRIBUTOR
As the nights grow cooler and the leaves begin to turn colour we find ourselves getting ready to celebrate the Uptown Rutland Scarecrow Festival. This annual event, held on Oct. 3, is an excellent opportunity for the community to come together to celebrate the end of the harvest season. This year’s Scarecrow Festival promises to be very exciting this year with many activities for the family. In the Kids Corner, there will be bouncy toys, crafts, face painting and crazy hair along with giant sand boxes and snag golf. Families and businesses can also participate in the annual Scarecrow Building Contest. Other activities to look for include the various vendors at the Harvest Market and the informative showing of the movie Dirt. As well, there will be live entertainment throughout the day which will feature Moni Funk and the Groove Machine, Floyd Vedan, the Zamboni Brothers and the finalists of the recent Talent Show Contest. All in all, I think you will agree that this Sunday will be an excellent opportunity come out to Centennial Park in Rutland to celebrate the fall season. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the many volunteers who worked tirelessly to organize the 2010 Scarecrow Festival. As well, we have had many major business sponsors who have contributed to this year’s event. It is important for us all to realize that the generous contributions from our sponsors and volunteers are essential to the success of community events such as these. We should also say a big thank you to the 250 businesses that make up the Uptown Rutland Business Association. As a collective group, Uptown Rutland’s goal is to enhance the profile of the Rutland community through initiatives that cultivate vibrant, high-quality business. I hope to see you there this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Rutland Centennial Park. Dave Willoughby is president of the Uptown Rutland Business Association.

Community gets behind family event The Uptown Rutland Scarecrow Festival would not be possible without a strong event committee. Event committees confront a mountain of details and pull together to ensure a successful event.

unteers. The 2010 committee members are a diverse, hard-working group of business owners and residents from throughout Kelowna. There are always several different tasks involved with an event, individually suited for each committee member. Justin Pandos, Scarecrow Talent Show chair, explains what convinced him to join the Scarecrow committee. “I wanted the chance to work with talented,
dedicated, like-minded individuals looking to make Kelowna a more creative and fun place to live.” Nick Aubin, who took on two roles, entertainment chair and volunteer chair, adds: “The community supports me and my firm and I wanted to return the support in helping to organize this festival.” URBA welcomes interest from all people who are interested in their community. There are opportunities to join other URBA committees.
Deborah Guthrie, URBA executive director, says, “It’s been a lot of hard work, a huge learning experience and a lot of fun. “We’ll take a little time to celebrate our success and then we’ll be preparing for next year. “Anyone interested in joining the committee for next year, give me a call. I’ve already started taking names.” Check out www.uptownrutland.com or call Deborah Guthrie at 250470-8236 for more information.

Volunteer finds meaning giving back to her community Serina McIntyre has a background in event coordination and children’s recreational programs. When she recently found herself in career transition she looked to volunteer as a way to get out and meet new people. “I’ve lived in the Rutland area for years and wanted to do something to support our community” McIntyre says.

COLOURFUL COSTUMES are the order of the day at the Uptown Rutland Scarecrow Festival.
Businesses scare up team spirit building Stan Swales at Grower’s Supply had a great idea for team building in his business. Stan loved the concept of the Scarefcrow Festival and how it fit in with his customer base, so in addition to spontsoring the event, he initiated a scarecrow building contest among his staff members. The idea created some excitement and soon other branches joined in and were creating their own scarecrows. “I don’t quite know how I will get this rone from Oliver displayed because it is so big” Swales says. Grower’s Supply stores from Vernon to Keremeos are participating. Swales said it has created a fun, competitive atmosphere and employees are already dreaming about next year’s Scarecrow designs. We want businesses to participate in whatever way is appropriate for them, says event organizer Robbie Westgard.
We have opportunities that fit every business from sponsorships to having a scarecrow outside your business. Your business scarecrow shows your community spirit and helps to promote our event. Mara Lumber is participating in several capacities. They are donating all the lumber for the scarecrow forms, the historical display and sponsor signage and bracing. They have also donated prizes for the scarecrow building contest and their IRLY bird mascot will be appearing in the kid’s zone at the Scarecrow Festival. Mara Lumber president Tony Russo says, “We are happy to support this community event and help to bring recognition to Rutland.” For more information about the festival and how your business can participate visit www.kelownascarecrowfestival.com.

Police kept hopping with three accidents in one hour Three accidents occurred on Kelowna streets between 3 and 4 p.m. on Monday afternoon. The first happened at 3:08 p.m. when a northbound red Pontiac sedan was waiting to make a left turn from Harvey on to Cooper. The light turned red and oncoming traffic, in two of the three southbound lanes, slowed to a stop. As the Pontiac was making the left turn, a black Land Rover, that was traveling southbound in the HOV lane, did not stop and collided with the rear passenger side of the Pontiac, ripping the rear bumper clean away. Neither the 20-yearold Kelowna male driver, nor his 20-year-old male passenger were injured. The 33-year-old West Kelowna female driver of the Land Rover was taken to Kelowna General Hospital and later released. The second collision occurred almost exactly one half hour later, at 3:34 p.m., on KLO Road near Benvoulin. A blue Dodge pickup was stopped in the eastbound fast lane. A black motor scooter, driven by a 17-year-old Kelowna male, was slowing to stop behind the pickup. The scooter was then struck from behind by a blue Mazda coupe that was being driven my a 21-year-old Kelowna female. The impact ejected the driver from his scooter and propelled him into the back of the pickup. The scooter driver received minor injuries and his scooter was damaged. The driver of the Mazda was not injured but her vehicle was towed to be inspected after she stated that her brakes may not have been working properly. She also received a ticket, under the Motor Vehicle Act, for following too closely. The third collision took place at 3:51 p.m. at the intersection of Gertsmar and Graham. A blue Ford Mustang, driven by a 17-yearold Kelowna male, was stopped at the north-
east corner of Graham at Gertsmar, waiting to cross Gertsmar. A White Ford coupe, driven by a 29-year-
van, driven by a 54-yearold West Kelowna man passed by him. But as the van approached the intersection,
the Mustang tried to cross Gertsmar and was struck by the white van, which then struck the Ford coupe.
The Mustang suffered major damage and was towed from the scene. The van and coupe received moderate damage. No one
was injured and the Mustang driver was given a ticket, under the Motor Vehicle Act, for driving without consideration.

Improved effort will be vital vs Ams Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A workmanlike performance it clearly wasn’t. With one of the Western Hockey League’s top teams on the agenda for their next two games, a vastly more committed Kelowna Rockets squad has been urged to show up than the one that laid an egg opening night against Prince George. “We had a big issue with our effort against Prince George,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “Whether it was because it was our first game, or it was nerves, I don’t know. Maybe they got into the mindset that because we had success in the exhibition season, it would be easy, but we all know it’s a whole different story when the season begins. Whatever it was, it has to change.” The Rockets will host the Tri-City Americans tonight (Wednesday) at Prospera Place, then will travel to Kennewick, Wash., on Friday for
the back end of the homeand-away series. With the exception of a couple of temporary spurts, the Rockets looked listless and, at times, disinterested during Saturday’s 6-2 home-ice drubbing at the hands of the Cougars. P.G. outshot the Rockets 39-22 and chased veteran starter Adam Brown from the Kelowna net four minutes into the third period. On the positive side it was only Game 1 of the 72-game schedule. On the other hand, Huska said the club’s veterans let the Rockets down. “It’s a situation where your older players have to set the example and show leadership by being competitive every time they step on the ice,” he said. “If guys are going out there and skating, and putting in their best effort every time, then as a coaching staff we’re satisfied with that. What we saw in the first game was disappointing.” In the Americans, the Rockets will face a team off to a 2-0 start and one of

With returnees Brendan Shinnimin, Kruise Reddick, Adam Hughsman and Tyler Schmidt leading the way, the Ams promise to be a contender again in 2010-11. “They’re similar to what we’ve seen the last couple of years,” said Huska. “They have a lot of re-
turning forwards, their goalie is back, they play an up-tempo game and they work very hard. “We have to make sure we’re working significantly harder than we did on Saturday.” Meanwhile, Rockets captain Tyson Barrie left Saturday’s game in the first period and didn’t return. Still recovering from a hamstring in-
jury suffered during training camp, the 19-year-old Victoria native took himself out for precautionary reasons. Barrie is questionable for Wednesday’s game vs. Ams but should be back in the lineup by the weekend.

BCHL Warriors determined to build off tough Island road trip Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Three of a possible eight points wasn’t an ideal outcome for the Westside Warriors. Still, there were plenty of positives for head coach Darren Yopyk to lean on as the BCHL club concluded a gruelling four-game, five-day trip to the Island on Sunday night. A 3-3 draw with Alberni Valley gave the Warriors a win, a tie and two losses in four road games. “I thought we played better than what we came out of the trip with,”
ing for the next few weeks. Westside will host Trail this Saturday and Cowichan Valley Sunday at Royal LePage Place. Seven of the Warriors next 10 games will be on home ice. “Getting out on the road early was really good for team buiding. Now that we’re home with a few days to practice, we can work on some things and doing some fine tuning. “Obviously our power play needs to improve,” said Yopyk, whose Warriors went 3-for-19 with the man advantage on the trip. “We did a good job of defending, I thought, so that part of
our game is in pretty good shape.” The Warriors, who have played just two of their first eight games so far on home ice, are 3-4-1, two points back of Vernon for fourth in the Interior Division.

said Yopyk. “We played well on Saturday and Sunday and just got the one
point, so that was disappointing. The main thing is, the team got better as the trip went along.” The Warriors opened their tour last Wednesday with a 3-2 loss in Cowichan, then beat Nanaimo 3-2 on Friday as Max French scored the winner in the third period. On Saturday, Westside came up short in Victoria 3-1, before wrapping up the tour with the 3-3 tie in Alberni. The Warriors out shot their opponents in every game.

Owls competitive with Fox Ravens Any question of whether the Kelowna Owls belonged on the same field as the Terry Fox Ravens was answered on Friday night at the Apple Bowl. Despite a 48-27 loss, the No. 4-rated Owls are the first team this season to have scored more than a major in one game against the No. 2-ranked Ravens. If not for a couple of key turnovers—a fumble inside the 10 and an interception in the end zone— KSS may have made the game even closer. “Coming out of it, we feel like we’re very competitive with them,” said Owls coach Roy Anderson. “They’re a very good, big and strong, hard-running team and we had a tough time stopping them. They’re a very experienced team, too. “On the other hand, putting up 27 points against them is a big positive for us. Nobody else has really been able to score against them. We made a couple of mistakes, or it could have been a different game.” In another typical standout performance, senior Taylor Loffler fired four touchdown passes— three to Sam Davies and tone to Grahan Fawcett— and passed for 337 yards. Loffler has had a hand in—either throwing or scoring—19 of Kelowna’s touchdowns in four games in the exhibition campaign. On defense, Cole Mosychuk racked up some massive numbers with 16 tackles, while Loffler added 14 stops. On Saturday, Loffler headed to Boise State to get a preview look at his future teammates and watched the Broncos beat Oregon State 37-24 on the blue turf. The 6-foot-4 200 pound has committed to the Boise St. program for next season. Next up for the Owls is the New Westminster Hyacks as the teams meet

Kick off is 7:30 p.m. The Hyacks have been thumped the last two weeks by B.C. powerhouses Fox (49-0) and Van College (43-0). Boucherie/Tweedsmuir The Mt. Boucherie Bears will see a familiar foe this Friday in Surrey when they take on the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in exhibition action. It was Tweedsmuir that ousted the Bears 3531 in the opening game of the 2009 playoffs. “It should be a good one,” said Bears assistant coach Alistair Bone. “(Head coach) Mike (Godwin) was sick last year for that one and couldn’t go and we ended up losing. That was a
tough one.” The Bears pre-season record remains at 2-0 after last Saturday’s scheduled game in Vernon against the Clarence Fulton Maroons was postponed. Due to a AA team in Vernon folding last week, Fulton had to play a regular league game the same day. Rutland vs Centennial The Centennial Secondary Centaurs vaulted out to a 24-0 first quarter lead, then sailed to a 54-6 win over the Rutland Voodoos in pre-season action at the Apple Bowl. Keith Prescott scored the Voodoos lone major on a 17-yard run in the second quarter. Centennial picked off four Rutland passes, re-
turning one 55 yards for a TD in the third quarter. On defense, Christian Hopper led the Voodoos with seven tackles and a sack. Jared Dalmolin had six tackles and recovered a fumble. The Voodoos return to exhibition action Friday, 2 p.m. at RSS against St. Thomas Moore. OKM vs Fulton The Okanagan Mission Huskies kick off the Okanagan Valley AA regular season Friday at the Apple Bowl. At 5 p.m., the Huskies will take on Vernon’s Clarence Fulton. The Huskies, coached by Jason Farnsworth, played just one preseason game and lost to Nanaimo’s John Barsby.
Like it or not, the Okanagan Sun and Victoria Rebels might as well get used to the sight of one another. Barring any colossal surprises this weekend, the teams will meet three consecutive times, including in the first round of the BCFC playoffs Oct. 10 at the Apple Bowl. Still, after a surprising effort by the Rebels (4-5) on Sunday in Victoria, the Sun (8-1) aren’t jumping to any conclusions about the final tilt of the regular season between the clubs this weekend in Kelowna. Kick off Sunday at the Apple Bowl is 1 p.m. Head coach Peter McCall said a less-than-convincing 44-27 win over the Rebels in Victoria should serve as a terse reminder that nothing comes easy late in a football season— particularly against an inspired opponent. “You don’t often feel bad after a win, but we came out unenthused, we took our foot off the gas and they actually had us a little worried at the end,” said McCall, whose club would clinch first place with a win. “I must confess, the Rebels played a heckuva game, they game-planned for us, and now they feel like they can beat us. Maybe it’s a good thing that Victoria’s pushing us. We get through these weeks against them, tweak the system, and have our athletes come out and make plays. This is must-win weekend for us and we need to be ready to go.” The Sun started tentatively Sunday in Victoria and trailed 10-7 in the second quarter. However, by the third quarter,

with offense clicking on all cylinders, Okanagan had cracked open a seemingly insurmountable 3813 lead. But against the formerly air-tight Sun defence—no points allowed in the previous four games—the Rebels rallied for a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns. Victoria also passed for more than 300 yards, while the Sun was tagged with 152 yards in penalties. “It was messy,” said McCall. “They watched a lot of film and exploited our weaknesses. The guys found out they’re not invincible and we’ll have to adjust.” While the defense was set back on its heels for the first time in weeks, the Sun offense continued to show some promising signs of life. Quarterback Bobby Davis tossed five touchdown passes for the second straight week— two to rookie Armand Bokitch—while the offense clicked for several big plays on the way to racking up 424 total yards. “Bobby played well, he was pretty efficient and we had some big plays. I think the system is start-

There are a lot of talented people around him and he’s learning how to use them.” Steven Shott had another big two-way game for the Sun, kicking a pair of field goals—including a 51-yarder—and catching a 70-yard TD pass from Davis.
WARAWA SETS RECORD
Jesse Warawa’ had two interceptions vs the Rebels to give the fifthyear defensive back eight picks in 2010, a new Sun single-season record. The KSS product now has 16 career interceptions, also an Okanagan team standard.
ONE MORE FOR MATT
For the second week in a row, Sun receiver Matt Scheurwater set a new BCFC record. The 22-year-old Calgary product caught three passes to raise his career receptions mark to 164, one better than Surrey’s Brian Remming. Last weekend, Scheurwater established a new conference high for career receiving yards. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

UBCO will travel to Prince George this Sunday to take on the UNBC Timberwolves.
FIRST WIN FOR MEN
The Heat recorded its first victory of the BCCAA men’s season with a convincing 4-0 decision over Kwantlen on Sunday afternoon.
Lars Seitzinger tallied twice in the win. Zach Hall and Sigve Finnoy scored the other goals, while Spencer Brown earned his first shutout of the season. “Our guys fully deserved the win,” said Heat coach Justin Boersma. “They held their composure in front of goal and finished the opportunities the rest of our team created for them. This win is vital as we now have to take our momentum to Prince George and continue next weekend the way we finished this game.” On Saturday, Douglas downed the Heat 4-1 with Hall scoring the lone UBCO goal. The Heat returns to action Sunday in Prince George against UNBC.

Okanagan Rockets get their first win of season The Okanagan Rockets summoned the power play to earn their first win of the B.C. Major Midget League season. The Rockets went 3-for-6 with the man advantage en route to a 6-4 win over the Greater Vancouver Canadians Saturday at the Capital News Centre. Josh Ellis scored twice for the Rockets who overcame a 3-1 second-period deficit. Jedd Soleway, Alex
Gran and Mitchell Cook also scored in the win, while Connor De Melo stopped 24 shots in the Okanagan goal. On Sunday, the Greater Van rebounded to earn a weekend split with a 3-1 win over the Rockets. Jedd Soleway scored the home teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone goal on the power play as the Rockets open the new season at 1-3. Head coach Misko Antisin plans to exercise patience with his young,
but hardworking team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as skilled as we were last year, but the boys are working hard,â&#x20AC;? said Antisin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of room for improvement, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably be in the middle of the pack here for a while until we get some consistency. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still real early in the year and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work hard to get better.â&#x20AC;?

Chiefs on 4-game roll After a tentative start, the Kelowna Chiefs have found their legs in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Chiefs are on a four-game winning streak as they get set to open a four-game home stand this Friday night at Rutland Arena. Kelowna, which opened the 2010-11 campaign at 1-3, is fresh off a weekend road sweep of a pair of Kootenay Conference opponents. Despite being undermanned due to injuries, the Chiefs made it four straight wins Saturday night with a 6-2 whipping of the hometown Creston Valley Thunder. Branden Redschlag and Tanner Clarkson scored two goals each as the Chiefs pushed their season record 5-3-0. Luke Richardson had three assists, while Landon Andrusiak added a
pair of helpers. Richardson and Andrusiak now share second overall in the KIJHL scoring race with 12 points each and five goals

Assistant coach Grant Sheridan said the Chiefs are beginning to gel as a team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting in some practise time has helped out a lot, and everybody is starting to figure out what their roles are,â&#x20AC;? said Sheridan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a great group of kids here who are starting to come together and play as a team.

W B.C. CANCER AGENCY
New milestones achieved for ovarian cancer research Judy Hamill CONTRIBUTOR
B.C. researchers saving women’s lives one gene at a time September—ovarian cancer month—was marked with the usual high-profile events to raise funds and awareness. September 2010, however, will be remembered as particularly significant for this most deadly of women’s cancers. Our provincial cancer control organization, the B.C. Cancer Agency, marked two major milestones in ovarian cancer prevention and research. Both were announced by the Ovarian Cancer Research Program of B.C.—OvCaRe for short—a highly collaborative team of cancer scientists and specialists with the Agency and the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute. Their first announcement could reduce ovarian cancer deaths by 50

per cent over the next 20 years. To prevent ovarian cancer, the OvCaRe team is urging all B.C. gynecologists to remove women’s fallopian tubes during routine hysterectomies and tubal ligations. This recommendation stems from the team’s previous research, which showed that ovarian cancer is not one, but several distinct diseases, and that the most common and deadly form actually starts in the fallopian tubes, not in the ovaries. As OvCaRe surgi-
cal oncologist Dr. Dianne Miller explained, “we can have an immediate impact on saving lives because these women will not develop ovarian cancer.” Her colleague, Dr. David Huntsman, led the agency research team that made the second announcement, which is another giant step forward in our understanding of ovarian cancer. It concerned the second most common—the deadliest and the hardest to treat ovarian cancer— clear cell carcinoma. By sequencing the DNA of patients’ tumours, Dr. Huntsman’s team discovered genetic mutations that disrupt the tumour-suppressing abilities of a certain gene. Their discovery leads the way for the development of new, more effective treatments that will target the mutations. Both of these advances add to the agency’s historic achievements in women’s cancers, dating back over 50 years. The B.C. Cancer
Agency was the first in the world to offer a simple screening test to all women in its jurisdiction, to detect early and curable cervical cancer. The Pap smear has since reduced the incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancers by 70 per cent. Likewise, the agency was the first in Canada to launch breast screening for all women in the province. Screening mammograms have since reduced breast cancer death rates

After two weeks of evidence and testimony, a jury was dispatched Tuesday morning with an order to consider whether Preston Randal Foster is guilty of aggravated assault or if, motivated by fear one night in 2008, he slashed another man’s throat in self defense. According to Foster’s testimony the bloody events that unfurled outside Gotcha’s nightclub in February 2008 were precipitated by victim Joshua MacDonald, who had

The team invites their fans to wear pink and place bids on their pink jerseys and hockey sticks, both of which will be auctioned off after the game, with proceeds going toward the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The Kelowna Run Committee hopes that pink skate laces and stick
tape on Kelowna’s hockey heroes will help raise awareness and run registrations for the event. “It’s exciting to have the Rockets on board in support of the breast cancer cause,” said Barb Hoy, volunteer co-run director for Kelowna’s Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. “They all have mothers, sisters, wives and girl-
been threatening him during various encounters over the night. At first, inside Liquid Zoo, Foster said MacDonald greeted him with an “aggressive glare” after making eye contact. Later, at Gotcha’s, he again saw 300-pound MacDonald, who ran his fingers across his throat in a menacing gesture. When the bar closed, Foster had another run-in with MacDonald, who told a mutual contact: “I’m going to f— that guy up.” Foster testified that he tried to de-fuse what was
shaping up to be a volatile situation by calmly asking: “What’s your problem, bro?” “I was cornered and I thought this guy was really going to mess me up,” said Foster. “Then he said, ‘I’m going to kill you.’ By his defense lawyer’s estimates, these runins are evidence of the fact that Foster was feeling menaced and afraid, without option to do anything else but pull out the knife he often carried and slash at MacDonald when he was finally approached in an alcove outside the nightclub.

“Mr. Foster defended himself as best he could, and he’s not guilty of any crime,” he said, adding that the jury didn’t have to decide whether Foster was justified, just that the self-defense option, offered reasonable doubt. By the estimates of Crown Counsel Martin Nadon, Foster had more than enough ways to dampen the situation, and by choosing not to, the attack that sent MacDonald to hospital for emergency surgery was clearly a case of aggravated assault. Hinging much of his argument of a 30 second surveillance camera clip, Nadon told the jury there was a 30 second period where Foster had time to call for help or even run, but he didn’t. That alone points to his frame-ofmind. “Why would someone who’s terrified of someone else, stay in close proximity and why would you get your knife ready,” he said, arguing he didn’t leave the area because he had no intention of backing down, a stance that’s contrary to an argument of self-defense.

Digestive disturbance and ulcer treatments
W
ith Thanksgiving not that far away, here are some thoughts on having a well-tuned digestive system in anticipation for that big dinner. By preparing, I do not mean starve yourself for two weeks so that you have room to gorge out on dinner. A well-tuned digestive system works better than starvation. Your quality of life depends on it. Many factors may contribute to digestive disturbances that can cause conditions such as an ulcer or heartburn, sometimes referred to as gastroesophageal reflux disease. t Lifestyle choices such as stress, poor eating habtits, alcohol consumption and smoking can contribute to these conditions. There are many symptoms that indicate heartburn. The most common are “burping up,” regurgitating often during the day, a heavy feeling in the chest or abdomen or a burning feeling in the throat, chest or stomach. Some of the symptoms that may indicate an ulcer include a burn-
FINDING REMEDIES
John Sherman ing feeling in the stomach area before, during or after a meal, usually in waves that last several minutes; painful digestion, heartburn and increased acid production indicated by “sour stomach” blackened stools and nausea. It seems very common for people to take antacids or similar products for relief of stomach pain and upset. This is definitely not solving any problems. In fact, that solution may actually contribute to the problem. Other medications that are commonly prescribed for people with gastroesophageal reflux disease are Omeprazole, in a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPI), which block the production of acid by the stomach. When stomach acid is
blocked, food will sit in your digestive tract and will not digest. Imagine after months of taking these drugs, what kind of fermenting mass of semi-digested food you would have sitting in your digestive tract. It really is quite scary. There are other drugs in the same class as Omeprazole including lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), pantoprazole (Protonix), and esomeprazole (Nexium). There are many sideeffects to these drugs such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headaches, rash and dizziness to name a few. Homeopathy offers some excellent remedies that can provide relief gently, safely and with no side-effects for many digestive related problems. If you do have a chronic ongoing complaint, it is probably best to see a homeopath for constitutional treatment. The following list of remedies is just a sampling of some homeopathic remedies that may help for an acute digestive disturbance:

Cost of HST fight—on and on it goes
E
ver hear of a Pyrrhic victory? That’s what they call it when you win a battle, but the victory comes with a devastating cost. It might be going a little far to suggest that the recently announced referendum on the HST is a Pyrrhic victory for the anti-HST proponents, but it certainly comes at cost the residents of B.C. Even with Premier Gordon Campbell’s announcement the referendum will only require a simple majority to decide the
fate of the HST and the result will be binding on the government, the cost of the Sept. 2011 referendum is estimated to be in the $30 million range. And for what? Setting the date a year from now—that’s 15 months that we’ll be paying the HST—buys the Liberals a lot of time. No doubt the Liberals are not only hoping in a year’s time, voters will be used to paying the tax, but also the righteous indignation over the half-truths, machinations and back room deals
250-763-3212
that brought the HST to B.C. will be largely forgotten. That way, anti-HST proponents will have a hard time getting even 50 per cent of the voters out to support them. And even if the Liberals follow through on yesterday’s promise to scrap the HST should the referendum go against them, who’s to say it won’t be reintroduced under a new banner and more costs for B.C. taxpayers? Trashing the HST would, after all, mean giving the feds
back the $2 billion in transition cash they are putting up. The anti-HST lobby isn’t happy with the referendum timing either. They’re planning to get started on attempting to recall MLAs as soon as possible, which will cost taxpayers some more money still as the Liberals defend their beleaguered members. And should the campaign, by some unlikely chance, succeed in recalling an MLA or two that’s going to — you guessed it —cost more money still.

The Internet, and especialta on Saturday as she waited to meet ly social media sites like Facebook, her friends. have become a dumping ground for As if her death was not horrifcruelty masquerading as humour duric enough, it brought out the disgusting times of emotional distress. ing, cruel and heartless side in some Without regard for human de-
cency or the pain inflicted on others, there are some who think it’s cool to make sick jokes, post offensive messages and tell the world how they think the deceased got what they deserved. Unfortunately, this type of cruelty seems to be particularly popular with young people. While it’s unfair to label all youths as participants in this sick behaviour, it seems whenever a teen dies, there is an outpouring of love and hate by other young people—and often it takes place on the World Wide Web. Hiding behind the cowardly anonymity the Internet provides, the contribution of these lowlifes does little
more than dilute the gene pool for the future of humanity. Just as we saw this week in Delta, and earlier this month in Pitt Meadows when a 16-year-old girl was gang raped at an outdoor rave and some bonehead teenaged boy thought it would be fun to post his cell phone video of the attack to You Tube, there have been local incidents of the same thing. Earlier this year, after a teenaged girl was stabbed outside a house party in Peachland, vicious messages about the deceased started to appear. After a tribute page was set up to remember the girl, people (and I use that term loosely) who claimed
to know her started posting the most cruel and disgusting comments. It was appalling and shocking . The wide-reach of the Internet and the anonymity it provides allows these social parasites a forum to attack those who can’t defend themselves. It is left to their grieving friends and family to counter the venom spewed by these losers. The ‘Net is often praised as a forum of free speech. But the price of free speech should never be the loss of human dignity. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

W LOCAL BYLAW
Letter writer over-reacted to park smoking ban To the editor: Mike O’Brien, grow up! (Smokers Pay Same Taxes but Aren’t Welcome to Use Public Park Facilities, Sept. 26 Capital News.) Smokers are allowed to use the parks and trails. In fact, they probably should, as exercise helps to clear the lungs. Just don’t smoke there. Why is that so hard? There are dozens of things
no one is allowed to do in parks. Some of them are lifelong habits. No one can relieve themselves on the trails, do drugs or drink alcohol, run naked, pull weeds, plant a garden, set up a business, harass strangers, hunt for wildlife or beat their kids. That’s just a short list, but, please, come to the park—just don’t smoke there. Dianne Jacobson, Kelowna
W ROADWAYS
About time driving laws got tougher To the editor: I have read all the letters about how devastating it will be if one gets caught driving drunk and what happens. It is about time it did happened. I would suggest that those who worry about the consequences should visit their friendly financial institution and make the necessary arrangements to cover the fines imposed when you are caught. This will ease your mind as to how you pay for it. Also, remember that you will have lots of “time” to pay for your wrong-doings as you probably will end up in the crow-bar hotel and will be walking for a long time, which will
save money too. The powers that be treat everyone the same, which is correct, and if one is stupid enough to want to be a statistic and add themselves to the list of deviates, so be it. As far as (on letter writer saying those caught would go) bankrupt, that would be a good thing, better broke than dead. We have some great improvements taking place in our highways lately and I hope people slow down and enjoy them, or there is no use improving them. The signage on these highways is there for a purpose, so read and enjoy. Ron Barnard, West Kelowna
W UNSIGHTLY MESS
Garbage bins should be put out of sight between pick-ups To the editor: Since the introduction of the road-side bins for garbage, recycling and yard waste was introduced in Kelowna, residential streets are now looking more like grubby alleys than anything else. Many residents took delivery of their new bins, and they have sat on the curb ever since. Other jurisdictions have introduced bylaws
with fines for residents who cannot be bothered to pull their cart into their yard, and hopefully out of sight. Certainly we can avoid such a necessity if people would just show some respect for their neighbours and pride in their own living space by only putting the bins out on “garbage day.” Jennifer Lamarre, Kelowna

LETTERS
Readers say no to HST To the editor: You just don’t get it on the HST, as is pathetically obvious from your Sept. 17 editorial, headlined Tone Down HST Rhetoric. That you’re depressingly out of tune with public opinion and your own readership is resoundingly affirmed by the 88 per cent negative response to your Sound Off question just below the editorial. No. no. no. appeared to be the booming declaration to: “Are you happy with the provincial Liberal government’s decision to hold referendum on the HST a year from now?” Your editorial clearly reveals total disdain for the people’s voice, so clearly heard in that 88 per cent. Instead, you tear into anti-HST leader Bill Vander Zalm, chiding him for “bombast and grandstanding.” Not that I’m a Vander Zalm cheerleader, but would you prefer the blandly blah style, for example, of Prime Minister Stephen Harper? You appear to be urging the public to just shut up and forget the HST as a dead issue unworthy of further comment. Tell that to struggling families who see the HST swipe into their pockets every time they look at a grocery bill, or at bills from virtually all essential purchases. So kindly gracious of you flippantly informing your readers (the public) with the fact they will get their opportunity to vote on the HST on Sept. 24, 2011, “hopefully when some of the political rhetoric has cooled.” Oh well, what’s a mere year? After all, as your editorial lectures: “Voters will also be able to ‘recall’ Liberal MLAs in the next election if they are still inclined to punish them for introducing the HST.” Yeah, keep reminding those cashstrapped families as they keep seeing the government’s greedy grab on essential purchases. What’s shocking is your editorial’s sharp contrast to your journal’s usual soundly-logical and provocative opinions, so conscientious of your reading public’s interest and deservedly praiseworthy. That editorial, in contrast, is as callously disdainful of the public’s interest as Premier Gordon Campbell’s blast at Vander Zalm Monday, Sept. 20, accusing him of trivializing a serious issue by announcing the Fight HST group would launch voter-recall campaigns
Jan. 1 against 18 MLAs, including all six Okanagan Liberal MLAs and Finance Minister Colin Hansen. The 18 don’t include Campbell because Vander Zalm expects the premier will resign by next September. That recall process would stop only if the HST referendum is held this year, and then only with the referendum question drafted by Elections BC and agreed to by the Fight HST group. Deplorable, moreover, is that the HST continues degrading B.C.’s licence-plate boast as “The Best Place On Earth.” So, big deal that Campbell’s gang’s referendum would be decided by a simple majority vote and be binding—commitments, as you note, go well beyond current initiative legislation specifying any vote as non-binding, anyway, and setting the passage hurdle as 50 per cent of all registered voters in two-thirds of all electoral districts. My, you’re so flexibly considerate, Mr. Campbell. C’mon, quit your deceptive dance, Mr. Premier, and just send the HST question immediately to the legislature for a free vote. After all, didn’t we elect those MLAs to represent their constituents’ interests, to be our so-called “voice”? Why not just cut to the chase with a free vote by the legislature—as was so wisely recommended editorially Aug. 24 by managing editor Jon Manchester of the Kelowna Daily Courier, the daily rival of the Capital News? Meanwhile, The Capital News would do well to note an incisive Sept. 17 letter to its daily newspaper rival from Vernon’s Lloyd Atkins, who slams the HST and the process leading to its enactment as a mockery of H: honesty, S: sincerity, T: Truth. He echoes the disgust of so many disgruntled newspaper letter writers across
B.C. who don’t buy the seeming lie that the HST wasn’t on the Campbell government’s radar prior to last year’s election when most, if not all, evidence clearly reveals otherwise. As for your editorial’s contention that Vander Zalm should gracefully accept victory, implying, I suppose, that he and the 700,000-strong antiHST army of petitioners should shut up “while B.C. gets back to business,” know that the HST certainly isn’t, from any measures I have read, in the best business interests of our beautiful B.C. and its taxpayers. One yardstick puts the referendum cost as $12 million to $30 million. A wide range, yep, but why split hairs over several million here or there? And who really cares that the HST is economically unhealthy for taxpayers and governments in the HST provinces of B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia? Why fret over reports by Statistics Canada that the HST, since July 1, has accounted for 1.2 per cent of the two per cent inflation increase in B.C., 1.3 per cent of the 2.9 per cent hike in Ontario and 0.8 per cent of Nova Scotia’s 1.7 per cent jump? And who cares if struggling families in this province will pay $1.9 billion more under the HST? Yak. Yak. Yak. In Campbell’s words, a referendum this year wouldn’t allow sufficient time for debate, and, well, he’s really aiming for a fair vote on the HST’s future. As if the issue hasn’t already been discussed to death. Please quit the phoney patronizing of us British Columbians, Mr. Premier. And, Capital News, please do get real in editorially serving your readership on an HST issue reeking of governmental greed. Wally Dennison, Kelowna

W GARDENING
No weather condition is perfect for all our garden’s needs
I
’ve heard a few people complain about the rainy weather we’re having lately, so I thought I might talk about its pros and cons. There are a few negatives that come with it such as proneness to disease on certain fruit crops, in particular grapes. The moisture can make normal gardening chores more challenging; chores such as cultivating, dividing perennials and just plain planting. Clay soils when wet will stick to your boots like glue and after working in it for just a short time your feet feel like they weight a hundred pounds each. But for any negative effect the rain may have there are a dozen positive consequences. For one thing, it is always wonderful to help fill up the reservoirs and provide moisture to the forests. We live in a semi arid region and typically we get around 11 inches of rainfall. Compare that to Prince Rupert that received over 100 inched per year so we have a long way to go before we should complain about it being too wet. Rain is more than just water. A good rain always makes the garden perform so much better than just a good artificial sprinkling and it’s not just your imagination. The reason for this is the rain actually provides the soil with nutrients, mainly nitrogen, which is not found in ordinary irrigation water. Nitrogen is essential to plant health and contributes to the “greenness” of plants as well as vigor. Four-fifths our air is comprised of nitrogen, an important source of this element to our gardens. Plants however cannot use the Nitrogen in this form; in order to do so the nitrogen must be in “fixed” form. Nitrogen fixation occurs three main ways Now you can use the Internet to add your own non-profit event to the Capital News Stuff to Do. Simply go to
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett which are— atmospher-
ic fixation, biological fixation and industrial fixation. Biological fixation occurs alone in the air by certain microbes or by a symbiotic relationship with the plant in the case of mycorrhiza fungus associated with plant roots. Industrial fixation oc-
curs when nitrogen gas combined with hydrogen with a catalyst under great pressure and very high temperature. This is how our typical fertilizers are manufactured. Atmospheric fixation is the one associated with rain. The enormous ener-
gy of lightning breaks nitrogen molecules and enables their atoms to combine with oxygen in the air forming nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rain, forming nitrates, that are carried to the earth and of course this is why plants including lawns respond and look so much
better to a good rain rather than just an ordinary sprinkling. *** Here are some timely fall gardening tips. If you plan on doing any transplanting or division then now is the time to do it. If you wait until late in the fall the plants

his week’s column is dedicated to “two” long-time good friends, who both passed away last week. Along with my column acknowledgement, I would also like to dedicate the Maxine DeHart -United Way, Ramada Hotel Drive-Thru Breakfast to both of them. Both former Liberal MLA Sindi Hawkins, 52, who passed away after a long and brave battle with can-
Diane Lazauskas cer, and Diane Lazauskas, 53, owner of Diane’s Fine Jewellery in the Ramada Hotel, who passed away suddenly, were both long-time good friends and huge supporters of the drivethru breakfast. Losing two friends in one week is tough enough, but having the drive-thru without them will be even tougher. My personal condolences to both their families and many friends. I invite all of you to join
us Thursday, Sept. 30, from 6 to 9 a.m., for the drive-thru breakfast at the Ramada Hotel parking lot. Remember this year to enter off the Enterprise Way entrance. It’s going to be better than ever and I ask you whole-heartedly to make this an extraspecial year for the United Way and my two dear friends.

Subsequent new stores were opened in Kelowna in 2004 and Vernon in 2009.Case Furniture Gallery will carry product lines from local furniture designers as well as major Canadian companies such as Elran, Stylus and Décor Rest (Steven and Chris line) and also adding appliances to their inventory.

She has received two bursaries to continue her education in the Bachelor of Business Administration Program at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. The United Way is grateful that she is not leaving until the end of December and I, in particular, am glad that she will be here for the drivethru breakfast. Erika has been invaluable helping me with her “can do anything” attitude, her enthusiasm for the event and much more importantly, her incredible computer knowledge.

Dress code complaint reveals societal cleavage A Vancouver bartender named Karolina Bil has alleged gender-based discrimination against the owners of the Shark Club bar. Her complaint reveals the cleavage separating who we are as a society from who we, perhaps, wish we could be.
LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson Ms. Bil alleges the club has a strict dress code for female employees including high-heeled shoes, miniskirts, shirts exposing cleavage, and hair and makeup aimed at achieving “class and sex appeal.” Her complaint states that she was too afraid to discuss the uniform issue with representatives of her employer. In her complaint, she also alleges that it was made clear to her that her job was to talk to, and entertain, the customers at the bar. She described customers inappropriately propositioning her and stated that it was as a result of the style of dress she was required to wear. The employer denied having discriminated in the manner alleged by Ms. Bil and made a preliminary application to have her complaint dismissed. If successful, that application would have resulted in the early demise of Bil’s complaint (meaning that she would never receive the opportunity to prove her allegations at a hearing). The employer based its application for dismissal on the premise that the acts complained of do not contravene the B.C. Human Rights Code. The Human Rights Tribunal recently issued a ruling in response to that application, confirming its approach to such applications. Preliminary determinations of this type are made on the basis of the allegations set out on the face of the complaint without any reference to any alternative evidence or explanation which the respondent might put forward. In effect, the tribunal simply asks whether, if proven, the content of the complaint could amount
to a breach of the human rights code. The tribunal rejected the Shark Club’s application for dismissal, reiterating the well-established premise that sexual harassment amounts to sex (or gender) discrimination. In addition, it stated that Ms. Bil’s allegations about the bar’s sexuallybased dress code requirements could, if proven, amount to sex discrimination. That being the case, Ms. Bil’s complaint will now proceed. Whether it will ever make it to a hearing, such that a decision can be made on whether or not the Shark Club was discriminating against her, is another matter. It is worth emphasizing that Ms. Bil’s allegations about the Shark Club’s dress code for female employees have not yet been proven. This strikes me as one of those disputes demonstrating the clash between who we are as a society and who we, perhaps, wish we could be. I say that because every city I’ve ever visited in B.C. has mainstream restaurants and bars in which the, shall I say, assets of female bartenders and servers are on prominent display. This has probably been the case for longer than anyone can remember and surely most of us have patronized these establishments. It’s not just sports bars utilizing this time-proven strategy for attracting business—many upscale restaurants seemingly make this one of their primary selling features. And, certainly, every applicant for a job at such an establishment must know what she’s getting into. So, you might ask, if everybody’s doing it and the females exposed to this treatment enter into that situation with eyes open, what’s the problem? The problem, if you happen to be an operator of a bar or restaurant, is that the code contains rules about how employers should and should not treat their employees. These rules presumably reflect what we, as a society, consider to be desirable standards of conduct. One of those rules is, as the tribunal stated, that sexually-based dress code requirements can amount to discrimination. Employees are not permitted to “contract
out” of their statutory human rights. So, even a practice that is widespread and well known and seemingly accepted by the general public and
by the parties involved in the employment relationship can be a breach of the human rights code. If Ms. Bil’s complaint ever does make it to a full
hearing, and if the tribunal determines that the Shark Club imposes dress requirements that amount to discrimination, that would be a reflection of who we
perhaps wish we could be as a society. But I don’t think it will be an accurate reflection of who we are as a society, at least at the

Clearly outlining the future vision for your business T oday’s column is directed primarily at small to medium sized organizations with leaders who are directly responsible for creating the direction and future goals of the business. These individuals at the helm may or may not own the business themselves but they have a clear, vested interest in the success of the organization. How many of you can state in simple language your vision of the future, in business terms? When was the last time that you stepped back and gave some serious thinking time to whether or not your business is on the right track? Going through the exercise of envisioning a future ideal for your business is a valuable one. I offer my own interpretation of a familiar quote: “If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there?” Consider what is involved when you take a
WORK LIFE
Laurie Mills long road trip. There is a lot of planning that needs to be done in advance and everyone who will be traveling together has their own part to play in making the trip a success. First, a final destination is agreed upon and a timeline set up. Then a trip route is laid out, typically with well chosen stops along the way that allow you to appreciate how far you’ve travelled and gauge how far you’ve yet to go. Before you head out you also need to make sure that you have all the supplies and resources you will need. All of this upfront work is designed to make sure everyone is well prepared for whatever may
happen along your journey. Sometimes your original route has been so well planned out that everything goes smoothly. Other times you either need or want to modify it because other options— or obstacles—have come up along the way. Now let’s consider this same strategy in a work setting. Business owners or senior managers are responsible for choosing the “destination” for the organization. They are “in the driver’s seat” so to speak but they rely heavily on others to help them reach their goals. A Vision statement is a way for leaders to articulate their hopes and dreams for the organization. Hopefully these are aligned with economic realities and include practical business plans. Turning a clear vision into reality also requires a management approach that engages employees
and motivates them to “get on the bus.” When people can see the direction forward and they trust their leaders to guide them there safely, they are more likely to be cooperatives participants along the journey. The ongoing challenge is to make that vision come alive for your employees.
A strong leader is able to translate that picture of success into day to day work activities so that people find meaning in their work. An overall Vision statement for the organization can be a valuable guide that directs work activities toward common goals. It makes practical
sense then to reassess that vision once in awhile to make sure it is still viable. It would be dangerous to embark on a long road trip without making sure your eyesight was clear enough for you to see the road ahead. When was the last time you checked your organization’s Vision?

Based on the environment, characters and story lines of the popular online playground Club Penguin (clubpenguin.com), Club Penguin Game Day! includes a range of single and multi-player sports and performance events designed to challenge and engage every member of
the family. “There are lots of parents who want to experience what their kids have come to know and love about the virtual world of Club Penguin, but it’s easier to gather everyone in the family room than around the computer in the home office,” says Lane Merrifield, co-founder of Club Penguin and executive vice-president of Disney Online Studios. “With Club Penguin Game Day!, we hope to give families new ways to connect, be active and have fun together.”
Club Penguin Game Day! features a collection of 12, all-new Wii exclusive games, including Puffle Paddle, Dance Off and Sumo Smash. Players create and customize a penguin, choose a team color and try to conquer challenges in each of the six zones on the island. The team that takes over the most territory wins.

W BMO OKANAGAN MARATHON
Volunteers needed for festival Volunteers are needed for the 16th annual BMO Okanagan Marathon & Family Festival taking place Thanksgiving weekend, Oct. 9 and 10, in Kelowna. A family fitness and active lifestyle festival, the event attracts over 3,500 participants and relies on the support of 400 dedicated volunteers. Kelowna’s 2008 “Woman of the Year” Jane Fletcher heads up the volunteer program. “There is a lot of enthusiasm for our event but we are still signing up volunteers,” said Fletcher. “This year, it’s easier than ever, as we have launched a new on-line registration system. So anyone interested can now go to the volunteer hub on our website “Once you sign up for a specific position you will be contacted by a Team Captain.” Most positions have been filled except for the course marshals, which are one of the most important volunteer positions for a race.
Fletcher adds there are a variety of locations that need to be filled and volunteers have a great time with plenty of perks. “We do have prizes, food and great community spirit to share. Volunteers also receive a t-shirt as well as an appreciation party,” Fletcher said. “The Telus Volunteer Team is a great example of a group dedicated to the community who come out every year. “They are ready to go—they take care of registration year after year and are helping with food prep again this year.” “If you can’t commit a lot of time, there are shorter shifts available on Saturday morning. “The whole event is over by around 2 p.m. on Sunday, so you still have plenty of turkey time left in the day.” A drop-in style Volunteer Orientation Night is planned for Thursday, Oct. 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. Anyone wishing to attend should

Rotarians vow to end polio now
Rotarians in the Okanagan Shuswap are backing an international campaign to stamp out polio from the world for good. Polio is an extremely serious disease with no cure. It can only be prevented with vaccines. After more than 20 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating this tenacious disease, but a strong push is needed to root it out once and for all. r It is a window of opportunity of historic proportions. Karen Naumann, Rotary District 5060 Polio rChair and herself a polio survivor, says: “As long as one case of polio remains in the world, no child is safe from this deadly disease. “Rotary wants to share rin the legacy of wiping out a disease that has caused so much disability and death worldwide.” The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $355 million US to Rotary with the challenge that Rotarians needed to raise an additional $200 million US by 2012. The resulting $555 million will directly support immunization campaigns in developing countries, where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families.

People who reach age 100 are called centenarians, and these numbers are increasing. These are some tips for aging well. Keep physically active; try for at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. There are many benefits of a regular exercise program, weight control, increased muscles mass, greater flexibility, improved balance and im-
proved mental awareness leading to a positive attitude. Eat well; we are what we consume. A healthy diet can help you live longer. Whole grains, fresh vegetables, and fruits should be part of the daily diet. Use sun protection; sun damage ages our skin prematurely and also puts us at risk for cancer. Drink lots of water; limit your intake of soft drinks, coffee and juices that have high sugar content. Limit your alcohol intake; moderate drinking may deliver some healthy benefits, but having too much alcohol can be risky. Too much alcohol can increase your risk of heart disease, some cancers and can weaken your immune system.
Avoid tobacco use; smoking is linked to various cancers, heart disease, lung disease and high blood pressure. Centenarians are better able to handle stress. Make time to be happy and have fun. Focus on the good things in your life. Replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts. Be around positive people who make you happy. Avoid stress. We should practice to live well at any age. Aging does not mean slowing down. Many people report being active in their 80s and 90s and many in this age range still work.

Each may have his or her own rational for their longevity including comments such as avoiding stress, enjoying a glass of wine daily or spending time with family and friends. If we exercise about 30 minutes a day, control our weight, eat reasonably well and don’t smoke, we can reduce our risk factors for most chronic diseases by up to 80 per cent.

A revolutionary, nonimpact workout boot available in Europe and the U.S. for many years is now accessible to local residents. Stratis Fitness Solutions has obtained the locall rights for the innovative weight loss and workout system called Kangoo jumps, which are a set of fitted boots hosting a spring system or impact protection system. Kangoo jumps are versatile in that they can be worn during many other sports such as jogging and aerobics for added benefits. They help to prevent joint injuries as they are low impact, help with rehabilitation from sports injuries and surgery and help most patients with chronic joint problems, to jog and exercise when their problem have kept them from sports. Joanne Stratis of SFS comments, “We are always researching new methods for fitness options in order to give our client base safe and exciting choices,” said Joanne Stratis, with Stratis Fitness Solutions. “Our goal is to help as many of our clients as possible be in the best shape they have ever been. “This Kangoo jump system assists our client base to reduce impact and increase their fitness levels. It also allows those who have not been able
to exercise due to being overweight, recovering from surgery or an injury or those who have chronic back, knee, joint and hip injuries to take part in sports again. “We are delighted to offer free classes to anyone who is interested in trying them out and seeing how they can benefit.” With over a decade of research behind them, Kangoo Jumps has a proven track record of success. “I have had two kids in less than two years by Caesarean sections which can be a tough recovery,” Stratis said. “These boots have allowed me to feel secure and comfortable when working out with the added benefit of low impact. “Most people’s barrier to weight loss is they can’t move properly enough to burn calories efficiently. Kangoo jumps remove that problem by burning double the amount of calories than a normal running shoe.” She says a 30 minute work out in Kangoos is like an hour work out and burns twice the calories of working out in runners. “We have had hockey and dance groups of all ages who have all enjoyed the revolutionary system of core strength with low impact.” For more information see www.kangoojumps. com or www.stratisfitness.com.

W LIBRARY
ORL looks for FANTASTIC FALL feedback APPLIANCE October is Canadian Library Month, and the Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) is honouring this annual celebration by asking the public what they would like to see in their local library services. r Throughout the tmonth, the ORL will be conducting telephone and web-based surveys, focus groups, and Facebook discussion groups as the first step in developing a strategic plan to guide the library region’s service in the coming years. The ORL’s last comprehensive strategic plan fwas completed in 2003. “Changes are so fast now that we need to check with library users and taxpayers to find out if we are keeping up with their changing needs and wants,” explained ORL executive director Lesley Dieno. The strategic planning process, which covers the entire ORL region from Golden to the U.S. border including 29 branches, involves a thorough audit of the library’s usage, a research review of best practices in other libraries, and staff input. During October, the ORL will gather public input through a variety of means. A thousand households throughout the region will be randomtly sampled and asked to participate in a 10-minute telephone survey, and six focus groups bringing together people of various tdemographics will be held in communities served by the ORL. Additionally, all members of the public are able to provide feedback through an online survey and Facebook discussion groups that will go live Oct. 5.

W GREAT ESCAPE BIKE TOUR
MS fundraiser exceeds $43,000 Despite pouring rain, during the first ever Rona MS Okanagan Grape Escape Bike Tour benefitting the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, 64 bicyclists raised over $43,000. The event took riders who each raised pledges in support of services, programs and research to10
wineries and eight points of interest in the famous Okanagan region. “We knew the community would come out in support of people living with MS. When we started planning this event, wineries immediately expressed their support by coming on board,” said
Tracy Tremble, Okanagan chapter chair. The first to sign up for the event Dee Rogers and her team Go Grandee cycled the first mile. “I’ve had multiple sclerosis for 40 years, have been in a wheelchair for 23 and this is the first time my grandchildren

Seeing our team raise over $15,000 to support the local MS Society chapter was very touching and exceeded my “grapest expectations” says Mills, who was diagnosed with MS 24 years ago. “We’ve already had inquiries about next year’s event from our riders who ranged in ages from 30s to 70s—they had loads of fun and are all honoured to give back to the beautiful city we call our home.” The next Rona MS Grape Escape is scheduled for September 2011, come rain or shine. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord. It is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Canada. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS last for the rest of their lives. The MS Society provides services to people with MS and their families and funds research to find the cause and cure for this disease.

LITTER DETAIL…Thirty-one Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School
Students took part in the 17th annual Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup held Sept. 24 at Mission Creek Park. The Grade 5 and 6 students started at the EECO Centre and went opposite ways along the creek gathering cigarettes, food wrappers, plastic bags, beverage cans and much more. The cleanup takes place each year to encourage Canadians to step up and make a difference in their community by removing litter from a local shoreline and is a national conservation partnership between the World Wildlife Federation and the Vancouver Aquarium. Barbara Hofmann, Aberdeen Hall’s Head of Science, coordinated the event for the school. “It was wonderful to see the students participating so enthusiastically in helping to keep the environment clean.”
W LAKE COUNTRY
Ceramic masterpieces on display A compelling collection of historical porcelain and pottery has been brought together for an exhibit at the Lake Country Museum in Winfield. The exhibit runs until Oct. 20 and includes Chinese porcelain, bisque ware, Staffordshire, Spanish oil jars dating from c.1750, Delftware from 1680, Minton from the
early 19th century, Chinese ceramics from the Sung Dynasty, and more. One of the high points of the exhibit is the Prince of Wales Ice Pail, on loan from the Vernon Museum. Other features include Japanese pottery and porcelain, 17th and 18th century Chinese porcelain, Aboriginal New World
pottery from South America, works from Mexico, including pieces from the famous Mexican potter, Dona Rosa Nieto and her husband and son; and archaic Iranian pottery dating from 2000 BC. “This is the first time the Lake Country Museum has had a themed exhibit,” said curator Dan Bruce.

Moved by the heart Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not an artist, the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;acrylicâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wateryâ&#x20AC;? may not seem like a match made in heaven. Acrylic can be used to make a great kayak and questionable high-maintenance fingernails, but when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used by an artist many an untrained observer will think of the punchy-coloured canvases, more oil-like than watercolour, modern and accessible. But West Kelowna painter Noelle Nadeau defies any standard definition or preconceived notion of this medium as easily as she defies lines, solid images and, really, any concept of thinking inside or outside the box. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what I love about Noelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is she is one of the artists who works totally in the moment,â&#x20AC;? said Alissa Woodside, owner of A Woodside Design Gallery on Pandosy Street, where Nadeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is exhibited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime she is holding a paintbrush she is thinking what is the result going to be in the end.â&#x20AC;? Not that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been holding a lot of paint brushes for her latest show. Pouring her paint and water onto the canvasses, Nadeau rolls the colours about as she chants in a meditative process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as much about her spirituality as producing art. Describing herself as generally â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty talkative with a lot to say,â&#x20AC;? Nadeau said her decision
to become a Buddhist has taught her the power of silence and finding a quiet space within oneself. This collection explores the Sanskrit word annica, which means impermanence or a constant state of flux. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Layering on drops, streams, and rivers of paint and watching them shift across the surface of the support is a very meditative process,â&#x20AC;? she explains in her biography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working with what arises in the moment, I make decisions about which way to encourage the paint to flow, which marks to leave as they are, where to add a glaze to make the underlying colour richer, and which marks to allow to let dissolve.â&#x20AC;? Nadeau has both a degree in fine art and a mother who taught art therapy and quite literally raised her in the creative process with art supplies always on hand. She explains her move to Buddhism as another stage in a life of constant exploration and one she â&#x20AC;&#x153;jumped into head first.â&#x20AC;? Almost immediately after she began exploring the religion she launched into a five-day silent retreat where she learned to find an inner sanctuary which she does not feel obligated to pull herself out of, into the world. Whether the images she finds in her watery sea of colour come from somewhere deep within that space, or whether she finds them afterward, seems not to matter as she discusses Off the Hook, a fantastic blue-green stir

I covered the first half of this album earlier this spring but for the uninitiated I guess there needs to be some explaining. Shelton’s recording label decided to experiment by marketing two “six pack” mini albums instead of the usual full length album. A few months ago Shelton scored a No. 1 country hit with the title track to the first mini album, Hillbilly Bone. Now the other half of what would have been a normal full length release has been issued. Shelton is a big bankable country star so his label felt secure in test flying two six-song EPs, but I am not so sure they will continue to follow this marketing strategy. All About Tonight isn’t much different from the guitar-driven country of Hillbilly Bone. The lead off up-tempo title song is all about “happy pills” and “concoctions” as Shelton heads for his fave country music saloon. The humorous duet story/song with country hottie Amanda Lambert is bound to become a future hit which will give Shel-
ton three hits for 2010 which is what he probably would have scored with a regulation album release. The winsome ballad Who Are You When I’m Not Looking is also nice and easy on the ears. C+
songs of funk tinged electro.” He might enjoy a minor chart entry with the lead off song Bang Bang Bang on hype alone but I don’t hear anything special on this pedestrian CD that features (and wastes) big talents in Q Tip, Ghostface Killa, Spank Rock, Boy George, D’Angelo and Simon LeBon. The three short and dull instrumentals are little more than make work throwaways that interrupt the flow of the “11 songs of funk tinged electro.” I might be wrong, but I’ll bet this disc stiffs. C-

stickered with “11 songs of funk tinged electro” from Rolling Stone. Now that is hardly any kind of praise, it is just a description, but Record Collection is supposed to be Mark Ronson’s breakout smash album after his all-cover CD titled Versions of three years ago that enjoyed a minor hit and got a few positive notices. But I do not hear any breakout single from Ronson who is much more noted as a producer with the likes of Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse. In fact Record Collection is a very underwhelming album of “11

W KELOWNA ART GALLERY
Constructions of Identity from the collection
O
ur big fall show at the Kelowna Art Gallery is a group exhibition featuring works drawn from the gallery’s permanent collection. Its theme—that of tracking one’s own personal, inner development through explorations of the self in works of art— has been dealt with by artists for hundreds of years. It likely did not develop in the West until the artists of the Romantic movement of the early 19th century. In the later 19th century the plein air painters of various schools and countries began to debunk the old academic hierarchies of subjects for painting (history painting, mythology and Bible themes, on down to landscape or genre scenes). This meant that portraiture and selfportraiture became liberated from straightforward mimesis and began to be more emotional and subjective. In the hands of the Post-Impressionists (consider van Gogh or Gauguin for example), expressive brushwork and non-naturalistic colours chosen for emotional qualities became vital means to this end. Jumping to the 20th century, self-portraits began to take any form or guise, and an artist might explore aspects of his or her identity without necessarily depicting a face or figure. This new exhibition showcasing works of contemporary art that have been recently added to the Kelowna Art Gallery’s
ON VIEW
Liz Wylie permanent collection focuses on works of art that explore notions of self or self-hood in either the artists themselves or their subjects. Kelowna-based artist Gary Pearson worked with simple archetypal shapes and subdued colour in his works on paper from the 1980s, and moved into depictions of people in bars, beginning in the late 1990s. In works from each of these series in our show, it is his own reactions to the subjects encountered that most interests him as an artist. In her piece Conversations with Dick and Jane, Wanda Lock, who lives and works in Lake Country, appropriated images from the Dick and Jane reader books and then worked into these with mixed media. To what extent are our individual identities influenced and molded by strong cultural touchstones such as the characters in these stories from our childhoods? Kelowna-based Jane Everett had models twist themselves into a variety of poses for her works on vellum that convey the emotional aspects and moods of the individuals featured. A long-time aficionado of drawing, Everett uses the medium to its

full expressive power. Byron Johnston, who lives and works in Kelowna, created a neutral format and structure of a grid of nails and plastic domes into which he inserts ripe apples that slowly decay on the gallery walls in his Arcadia Revisited Part 1, from 1999 (which was purchased for the Gallery’s collection from the artist in 2008). Any viewer can directly make the link to the memento mori aspect of this piece and perhaps begin to muse upon his/her own aging and/or mortality. Rose Braun, based in Lake Country, looked at the childhoods of the missing women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside in her large work called Missing, which was on view at the Kelowna International Airport last year. This painting depicts rows of young girls lined up for their class photograph. In her other three pieces in the show Braun uses plants—
trees and flowers—as stand-ins for humans and their attendant emotions. All of these works have been executed in her signature choice of mixed media on sheets of galvanized steel. Bryan Ryley works near Vernon, where he has lived since 1978. In his Four Corners series of paintings, from 2005, the cruciform shape that results from drawing rectangles at each of the four corners of a canvas or sheet of paper fascinated him as a carrier for meaning, not related directly to the Christian cross. At its most basic level, the cross is an archetypal, conceptualized rendering of the human figure, almost as though as felt from within, in a condition of stasis. Briar Craig, based in Kelowna, is a printmaker who specializes in screenprinting, and often creates works that have been passed through the press many times for their final effect. He is interested in

with an ingenious way to help out. Founded in 2008, Charity Trucks is the brainchild of Bill McIntosh, 52, who saw a unique way to unite charities and companies with a win-win solution. “Some national organizations are spending up to $4 million annually on their fleet of trucks used to pick up and deliver donated goods,” McIntosh said. “Can you imagine what a difference it would make if that money could be spent on programs for our communities?” McIntosh saw a great opportunity for meaningful mobile marketing. “Getting their brand on our trucks lets companies save on advertising while making a meaningful connection with their community. Meanwhile, a charity gets free trucks and puts the savings back into essential programs.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Okanagan depends on their Renew Crew to generate 35 per cent of their annual budget. “Working with Charity Trucks will dramatically increase the number of children and families we can serve,” said Lisa Hobson, executive director of BBBS. “With more struggling families needing our program and a tough fundraising climate, the opportunity Charity Trucks offers is truly amazing.” Natures Fare and Touchpoint Advertising are among two of the first local companies to become sponsors on a truck for BBBS Okanagan. “Nature’s Fare is always looking for ways in which we can help affect positive change in the communities in which we operate,” said Alexa Monahan, owner and marketing director of Nature’s Fare Markets.
