Rotting fruit imports leave a bad taste Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Christine Dendy has found bags of cherries imported from California bought from a local chain grocery store to be largely culls, below grade, split, rotten and under-ripe. And, that’s not a good thing for local cherry growers. She is treasurer of the Okanagan-Kootenay Cherry Growers’ Association, and a long-time orchardist in East Kelowna. Her concerns are not just that consumers are not getting value for their money, but also that they might pick up a bag of the imported fruit and be so disappointed in the poor quality, they could be turned off purchasing the local fruit as it begins to enter the marketplace next week. Dendy was so incensed by the fruit she found in the two bags she purchased that she analyzed it, finding one bag was 65 per cent culls, decayed or below Canada #1 grade while the second bag was 78 per cent below grade. “Only 68 of 248 cherries were edible and more than 47 per cent were badly split, decayed, rotten and otherwise culls. They could never have qualified to be sold, let along packed and exported, if they were from Canada,” she said. “It’s very frustrating. B.C. fruit exported to California is required to meet stringent grading standards,” she noted. The rest of the fruit in the bags was mostly below the required brix, a measurement of the fruit’s sugar content, she added. To add insult to injury, she ended up by putting the cherries back into their bags to return to the store, left the bag in the car for a couple of days, and discovered the car full of fruit flies. She was able to trap one of the flies and believes it is a spotted wing drosophila, a new Asian insect pest which has the potential to devastate farmers raising soft fruits of any sort, from cherries, to peaches, plums, See Fruit A4

Mayor digs in heels over houseboats Arrest made in murder case
Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER
Bolstered by public support, an adamant sounding West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater said houseboats and sailboats must vacate Gellatly Bay within 30 days. “We’re getting letters saying don’t blink. I don’t intend to,” Findlater commented. “I’ve been very firm on this from day one that they have to go.” West Kelowna received a licence of occupation from the provincial government late Friday afternoon. The licence gives the municipality the authority to enforce uses along the public waterfront in Gellatly Bay. As of mid-Tuesday morning, municipal bylaw enforcement officers and the RCMP were going boat to boat in the bay, posting what essentially amounted to eviction notices. Findlater said the municipality would not budge on its position to bring to an end all permanent moorage in the bay. “At the end of the day, they’ll have to go. We’re going to enforce it, we’ll stand behind it, there’s no turning back. We mean business. “We want the bay cleared. That’s our front yard and we’re going to get it back.” Those vessels not removed before the deadline will be towed to a safe moorage site at the owner’s expense, the municipality explained. The boats would then be stored for 30 days, with storage costs to be borne by the vessel owners as well, the District of West Kelowna added. Incidentally, boats would also be restricted from mooring farther north in the bay in what is Westbank First Nation ju-

HOUSEBOAT OWNER David Munter said he and other Gellatly Bay houseboat owners would like to sit down with West Kelowna and work out some way to allow the boats to remain moored in the bay. risdiction. The First Nation and the municipality have teamed up to regulate uses in the bay. On June 22 both governments signed a legally binding joint management agreement, respecting each other’s jurisdiction and interests in the protection of Okanagan Lake foreshore, West Kelowna stated. Both councils have agreed to oversee uses in Gellatly Bay through a joint management committee made up of two representatives from each government. “The committee will recommend policies to both councils regarding the use of Gellatly Bay, which is guided under a municipal water use bylaw,” West Kelowna stated. Meanwhile, Dave Munter, who owns two houseboats currently moored in Gellatly Bay, said he and other boat owners he spoke with weren’t planning on moving their boats. “We’re going to fight
it. We’ve hired lawyers.” That said, Munter also explained how he hoped an agreement could be reached with the municipality before the 30 days were up. “I wouldn’t want this to go to court. I’m hoping we can reach some sort of agreement without adjudication and that somehow they would allow us to stay.” Munter claimed he and other houseboat owners in the bay had the right to moor their vessels in the bay. He also claimed he paid a $1,500 fee for a permit to place mooring buoys in the bay. Findlater said municipal staff checked into those claims. “We’ve talked to (Transport Canada) and they said they have none,” said Findlater. “So somebody may be giving us a line there. If somebody says they have done that, they are going to have to produce the paper work.” Transport Canada confirmed it has not issued
‘‘
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY’LL HAVE TO GO. WE’RE GOING ENFORCE IT, WE’LL STAND BEHIND IT, THERE’S NO TURNING BACK. WE MEAN BUSINESS. WE WANT THE BAY CLEARED. THAT’S OUR FRONT YARD AND WE’RE GOING TO GET IT BACK. Doug Findlater
any permits to houseboat owners in Gellatly Bay under its Navigable Waters Protection Act and added that it did not charge fees for such permits. Regardless, Findlater said it wouldn’t allow the houseboats to stay in the bay. “In any event, it doesn’t matter because
all that does is guarantee they’re not going to interfere with navigation. “What you have to realize is that the province owns the land under the lake and what the licence essentially does is transfer the right of ownership of the land on a leased basis to the municipality and allows us to implement the water use zone.” West Kelowna council passed the water use zone in October, prohibiting permanent moorage and regulating other recreational uses along West Kelowna’s waterfront, particularly in Gellatly Bay. The zone arose from complaints a year earlier, in which residents living upland from Gellatly Bay complained that an increasing number of houseboats were mooring in the bay, creating an eyesore. Some also feared effluent was being dumped in the bay, which studies have discounted to date and which houseboat owners have denied. jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

W CULL IMPORTS
Cherries imported by grocery stores could infect local crops Fruit from A1 strawberries, blueberries and grapes. The SWD (a type of vinegar fly, similar to a fruit fly) is attracted to fruit that’s ready to harvest, not rotting fruit, so is of particular concern to local orchardists and grape growers. It lays its eggs on the fruit’s soft skin infesting fruit right around harvest time, ruining the fruit too close to harvest for most insecticides to be safely used. The larvae emerge from rotting fruit, so fruit that’s discarded can become a source of the insect unless it’s first frozen, buried deeply or tightly secured in a bag before it’s tossed in the garbage. Dendy says she is concerned they have no control over supermarket disposal of bad fruit or consumers’ methods of disposal. “Public awareness is our only tool to help prevent its spread, and it would be nice if good produce handlers took pride in their products and care in how they dispose of bad produce,” she commented. “It would also be good if the Canadian government was more interested in providing the resources to act on this
threat to orchardists,” she added. Rob Ormrod, horticulture specialist for Western Canada for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, says SWD is already here in B.C. and he predicts it will never be eradicated now that it’s here, so they are concentrating on learning how to deal with it instead of trying to prevent it from coming in. Although local growers don’t feel it’s likely that it will overwinter here in the Okanagan, Ormrod says there are likely warmer microclimates like compost heaps are adjacent to houses, where it will survive the winter. And, it has overwintered in the Fraser Valley this year. While the CFIA can be called in to assess a shipment of fruit imported by a store, not every shipment of fruit is inspected. A percentage of imported fruit is inspected to ensure it complies with regulations. The B.C. cherry industry is much more significant in size than in any other province in Canada, and is estimated to be worth in the region of $40 million to $50 million at the packinghouse. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

ter his ultralight airplane crashed in North Okanagan is being remembered as kindhearted man who went out of his way to help others. Glenn Ashton, 47, died Saturday after his ultralight airplane appeared to stall before nose-diving to the ground shortly after takeoff from a field near Mallory Road in Deep Creek. “He had gone up to demonstrate the aircraft to an out-of-town buyer,� said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “He was a very experienced pilot.�
The potential buyer, who was from outside B.C., said the plane had risen to about 70 metres in altitude before plummeting. Ashton was an aviation buff since childhood, said Linda Jones-Evans, his wife of 15 years, and had both his recreational pilot’s licence and his ultralight flying training. However, it is his kind heart that he will be remembered for. “I couldn’t have asked for a better husband, “ she said. “He was very consid-

When you’re around him, it makes you a better human being.� Ashton started out as a painter’s assistance at Flightcraft after an earlier career as a photocopier technician, and was cur-

He was focused on doing an excellent job all the time, despite pressure, said Turner, and was a perfectionist when it came to his ultralight plane. “He went over and above with building this airplane,� said Turner. Jones-Evans also said Ashton was “very, very meticulous� about his aircraft and took “all the courses� in an effort to be a well-trained pilot. “He was very, very

Wanted man gets tasered A man wanted on charges out of Prince George was tasered by Kelowna RCMP Monday after he brandished a can of bear spray. RCMP encountered the man on Abbott Street near City Park and advised the man he was going to be arrested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The male turned and started to run away and while doing so he reached into the front of his pants and pulled out a container of bear spray,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Ann Morrison in a news release. Before the man could use the spray, the officer deployed the conducted energy weapon, or Taser, in response to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;threat.â&#x20AC;? That action allowed police to take the man into custody. He was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure. The man, identified as Jimmy Curtis Rossetti, 25, of Prince George, was wanted on a warrant stemming from that city for mischief, possession of a weapon and breach, police say.

Water drought fears in May have now been doused Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Contrary to dire predictions a few weeks ago that last year’s drought would continue, upland reservoir lakes in the Okanagan basin are full and spilling and controls on Okanagan Lake have been opened to let more water out downstream to prevent flooding. It’s been a complete turnaround, from a drought year culminating in a dry winter, to a wet spring, which filled creekbeds and reservoirs. As a result a number of utilities have altered their water restrictions to permit a slightly more liberal use of water, because there are now no concerns about a lack of adequate water to take users through the coming summer. Last week, the discharge from Okanagan Lake into the Okanagan River was increased from the minimum to prevent properties around the lake from flooding, reports Bill Kuhnke, manager of forecasting for the environment ministry. Up until this month, minimum amounts were discharged in order to conserve water in the lake, which did not fill last year. In fact, at its peak last year, it was a foot below full, noted Kuhnke. Water shortages were widely predicted in the Central Okanagan in early May. But now, even the worst off of the local utilities, the South East Kelowna Irrigation District, reports its main reservoir, McCulloch Lake, has now filled. In fact, manager Toby Pike reports the district’s newly-constructed reservoir, Turtle Lake, has also been filled as much as they want to fill it for the first year, two-thirds full, with 1,200 acre-feet in it. “There’s been quite a turnaround since six weeks ago when there was only 20 per cent of the potential storage water left in McCulloch Lake,” said Pike. “It’s never been that low since I’ve been here.” Stage Two water restrictions for customers in SEKID have been eased to Stage One, so domestic users can now water three days a week. The irrigation allotment has been increased from 75 per cent to 100 per cent. However, Pike said there will be zero toler-
ance for going over that allotment. Anyone who does, he said, will be shut off for the remainder of the season.
Because it’s been so wet the past two months, there hasn’t been much need for irrigation, so not only is there more water, much has been conserved
in the first month or so of irrigation season. “But, there’s still no room for waste,” Pike reminded users. “(The reservoir) looks
great. It makes me feel all full and clean. It’s a nice position to be in, but it doesn’t last.” The Westbank Irrigation District has also eased
its restrictions, from Stage Two to Stage One, which permits domestic sprinkling on alternate days. WID manager Brian Jamieson reports all six
of the district’s reservoirs have filled now and are spilling water down into Okanagan Lake.

was stayed against the young woman, after a Supreme Court justice ruled that two statements she made to police after the death of Joe Pek last October were inadmissible. “The Crown had failed to prove it was voluntary,” said Butterfield. When a charge is stayed, the prosecution is essentially halted. The Crown does have the option, in certain circumstances, to relaunch the prosecution within a year, but in this case, they will not, said a Crown counsel spokesman, citing the fact there was no other evidence aside from the excluded statements. “The case against Miss Kipling was heavily dependent on the admissibility of statements made by her to investigators in the hours following the death of Mr. Pek,” added RCMP Const. Steve Holmes. “This was a situation where there was little independent evidence or witnesses able to speak to the events which occurred.” Around 1 a.m. on Oct.
‘‘
THIS WAS A SITUATION WHERE THERE WAS LITTLE INDEPENDENT EVIDENCE OR WITNESSES ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE EVENTS WHICH OCCURRED.
20, 2009, the body of Pek was found on the doorstep of a duplex at 454 Birch Avenue, an address that police say Kipling was “associated” with. Kipling was among those in the area that were detained by police as they began to try to ascertain what happened. She gave two statements to police, and Butterfield said the “flaws” in the first statement were carried over to the second. Kipling, the court has previously heard, had been at a party when Pek, an unwanted guest with a long record of violent offences, showed up at the
duplex. He was confronted outside and Kipling said he had a knife. In the statements, which Butterfield describes as “half exculpatory,” Kipling, then 21, told police the stabbing was done in defence of herself and others, and that it was an accident that Pek died, he noted. The intention was to stab Pek in the shoulder, but he moved, said Butterfield. Kipling told police she used a butter knife to stab Pek. Police say they will be meeting with Crown counsel in the future to determine what changes they need to make in their procedures as a result of the charges being stayed in this case. “Although disappointed with the outcome, we nonetheless respect the ruling of the court and will be reviewing the reasons for judgment with Crown Counsel,” said Holmes. —with files from Mike Simmons

Canada Day festivities in Kelowna will have musical feel Pride from A1 $113—though there will be a few items of a higher cost on display as well. Later in the evening, residents will be treated to a rare chance to meet some other up-and-coming artists in the orchestral community. The POPS orchestra is a unique entity which brings professional musicians, amateur volunteers and advanced student musicians together each Canada Day to play a concert for the community. It gives the less experienced musicians a rare chance to improve their skills and those who don’t often get out to an Okanagan Symphony Orchestra performance a chance to experience the music. Admission is by donation to see the near 100piece orchestra, which includes a performance from soprano Melina Moore, of Vernon, and sister act Alicia and Colleen Venables on violin. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in Prospera Place. The apple bin paint-in is back at the Kelowna Art Gallery. Every year the gallery assembles apple bins on their front lawn and anyone who wants to can come down and paint up a bin to be displayed first at the gallery and later by the packing house on Clement Avenue. The bins attract a wide variety of art, though this year the gallery is upping the ante by adding a multicultural theme to the event. As such, a band from the Okanagan Hungarian Society will entertain and several cultural groups will be painting a bin. The brushes come out at 10 a.m. and participants have until 2 p.m. to finish the job. Those who come down are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Kelowna Community Foodbank. At the same time, across the street, FolkFest sets up in Prospera Place. If dance is your thing, this is the place to be for the day’s festivities includes Polynesian dancers, dancers from the Filipino Club, Kisfalusi dancers from Hungary, not to mention the Irish, Polish, and Serbian groups—and that’s just to name a few. FolkFest also includes a wide array of food from around the world, although, if around the world is where it’s at for you, the Afro-Celtic rock and storytelling of Dr. Zoo should be well worth tak-
ing in. Nominated for a 2009 ECMA World Recording of the Year, the group is the vision of Newfound-
lander Randal Arsenault and based out of Calgary. Arsenault is said to have come up with his special brand of “Afro-
Celtic Reggae and Storytelling.” His biography reads: “After years of singing to zebras, Randal developed the musical
genre of Afro-Celtic Reggae and Storytelling.” Dr. Zoo plays at 8:35 p.m. on the TD Music Stage at Tugboat Beach.
The other main feature musician will be local Juno Award winning singer/songwriter Greg Sczebel, who plays immediate-
ly before Dr. Zoo at 6:45 p.m. on the same stage. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

On July 5, the Kelowna Community Food Bank’s Christmas in July banner will once again be installed at Pandosy Street and Bernard Avenue marking the start of the food bank’s 19th annual Christmas in July campaign. “Christmas in July serves two purposes,” said Vonnie Lavers, executive director of the food bank. “First, it helps to remind our community that the spirit of Christmas should be year round. “Helping our neighbours is not just a seasonal undertaking, giving is an everyday opportunity for those of us who are able to help. “Second, as our major summer campaign, Christmas in July is critical for maintaining inventory.” Typically, donations slow during the summer months, yet; it seems there is nothing typical at the food bank in 2010. Usage jumped nearly 30 per cent year over year. “Record demand has put enormous strain on our supplies, we are averaging over 80 households per day,” Lavers admits. “Every week, we are running out of baby food, canned fruit,
canned vegetables, canned soup, dry soup, and side dishes. Our staff and volunteers can’t wait for Christmas in July to start.” This year there is a special focus on our hungry children. “Forty per cent of our recipients are babies, children and teens under 16,” said Lavers. “Children suffer the most from the ill-effects of hunger. Christmas in July Campaign, A Season To Share is an opportunity to raise awareness about our No Hungry Children Campaign.” No Hungry Children, an award winning media campaign, was launched in 2009 to enlist ongoing support in the fight against child hunger. For a monthly commitment of $35 subscribers can help “fill a tummy, fulfill a future” and eliminate child hunger in the Central Okanagan. “All funds generated will help sustain and grow our children’s programs,” said Lavers. For more information visit www.nohungrychildren.com. The food bank encourages the community to get involved in helping those less fortunate. There are

Garage fire damage estimated at $10,000 The cause of a garage fire on Asher Road has been ruled as undetermined after evidence at the scene was incon-
clusive, said assistant fire chief Thomas Doherty. Around 1:40 a.m. on Monday, fire crews were called to a structure fire

said Doherty. The garage sustained substantial damage, estimated at approximately $10,000.
It’s Grass Allergy Season If you suffer from Grass Allergies, you may have had a reasonable May and June because of all the rain, but don’t expect to be so lucky in July. The symptoms of grass allergies; sneezing, runny, itchy nose and irritated eyes are all from contact with the grass pollen. Grass in the Okanagan pollinates in May, June and early July. When you have a grass allergy, your body sees the grass pollen as a foreign substance and reacts against it to get it out of your system. The sneezing, runny nose and tearing are symptoms that your body is trying to remove this foreign and offending grass pollen from your body. You can consider these symptoms as protective responses during the grass allergy season. There are many effective over the counter remedies: antihistamines, decongestants and eye rinses. Allergy shots generally produce a more permanent benefit. Scimed Research is now recruiting for 50 grass allergy sufferers to help evaluate a new investigational medication for grass allergy sufferers. Call us TODAY! and plan to attend one of our information sessions to determine if this study would be suitable for you at 778-436-9210.

Has Gout Affected You? Gout is an extremely painful condition that can effect people of all races and ages. It can effect both men and women but it is more common in men. It is uncommon in children and young adults. Gout used to be considered a problem for the rich, kings, gentry, and others who ate too much and drank too much wine. Some people have a genetic predisposition due to a disorder of purine metabolism. In these individuals attacks of gout can be triggered by eating foods high in purines and by consuming high quantities of alcohol. Others can have secondary gout. Secondary gout is associated with another medical condition such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, certain medications, particularly diuretics (water pills), salicylates (aspirin), and niacin. Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood which settlles out as uric acid crystals in the joints. This causes pain, redness, and swelling. Any joint can be involved. Classic signs of gout are pain, redness, and swelling in the big toe or elbow. The pain can be both chronic or can present suddenly. A number of therapies are available. Some more successful than others. SciMed Research is starting a research trial to evaluate a new investigational therapy to lower uric acid, the cause of gout. If you have been diagnosed with or suffer from gout symptoms you may qualify to participate in this research trial. Please call SciMed Research to register for a no cost obligation consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this gout study.

minister Blair Lekstrom, has broken ranks with his party and quit both cabinet and the Liberal caucus over the HST issue. Lekstrom has said that while he personally supports the new tax, it’s clear many of his constituents do not. So, he advocates now for his government to postpone the HST introduction and consult further with the public. Locally, the three central Okanagan MLAs, Steve Thomson, Ben Stewart and Norm Letnick are united in their backing of the HST. At least one local Liberal MLA has said he believes because the HST was mentioned in the budget and the budget is a confidence issue, opposing it would be an indiction of non-confidence in the government and that would mean any MLA— backbencher or cabinet minister—who did so would have to leave the Liberal caucus. James met with local tourism officials and not-for-profit groups here Monday to discuss the impact of the HST. She said not-for-profit groups will only get half the amount they pay in HST back in the form of a rebate. James added she is not optimistic the Liberals will back down on their HST plans, but she said her party will continue pressing the anti-HST position regardless. James said the HST will be especially hard on the tourism industry in the Okanagan. And she pointed to a recent article in the online Seattle newspaper the Post -Intelligencer that warned Americans to “watch their wallets” when coming to B.C. because of the new tax. However, one issue James and the NDP will not get involved with is if the Fight HST group follows through with its threat to launch recall campaigns against Liberal MLAs “If recall is going to happen, it needs to be a community initiative,” said the NDP leader.

W KELOWNA AIRPORT
Free take-off to cyberspace Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR
Travelling through cyberspace will be as easy as catching a flight at the Kelowna International airport starting July 1. The airport is partnering with BOLDstreet Wireless to provide free Internet access to passengers throughout the terminal building, lounges and concession areas. “Wireless Internet ac-
cess is one of the amenities most frequently requested by our passengers,” said Sam Samaddar, airport director. “We’re happy to be able to provide this muchanticipated service at no cost to our passengers.” According to Kelowna City Coun. Michele Rule, the service will also offer an opportunity to get some more money trickling into city coffers. “Now we have control, we can sell advertis-
ing,” she noted in a recent council meeting. To that, Samaddar pointed out that the BOLDstreet will sell ad space, and revenues will eventually go back into operations. For those who are concerned about privacy, the tech people behind the wireless service say there’s little cause for concern. “BOLDstreet provides several mechanisms for secure, ID-verified user authentication
in exchange for free WiFi access,” said Tom Camps, president and CEO of BOLDstreet. “This includes user-created accounts managed by BOLDstreet, use of social network credentials (e.g. Facebook username/password), or use of a roaming account from Canadian or non-Canadian carriers.” Kelowna Airport serves almost 1.4 million passengers annually.
KELOWNA resident Alda Berneaud-daRosa contributed this photo for the Capital News, saying how amazing it is that someone took the time to decorate this tree along the Mission Greenway to help mark Canada’s birthday. She says it encapsulates our Canadian spirit.

gans and is a life threatening condition. The symptoms start by heavy panting and drooling, vomiting and diarrhea, weakness and confusion. As the heat prostration progresses the gums become dry due to dehydration and the vomiting and diarrhea may become bloody. Terminal stages are manifested by seizures or coma, shallowing of the breathing or absence of breathing effort and finally death. Heat stroke is an emergency condition that requires an immediate medical care. If your pet is showing signs of heat stroke transfer it immediately to a cool shaded spot, pour cool water on your pet but not icy water. You can pour alcohol on your pet’s paws, alcohol dilates blood vessels, which is helpful in cooling down the body. First aid is crucial in the first minutes of treating heat stroke, however your pet’s well being should not stop there. Your pet should be checked by a veterinarian as other medical problems (kidney failure, heart, neurological, intestinal problems) could arise hours or even days following a heat stroke. Prevention is the key! Here are a few tips how to keep your pet safe. Pets should stay well hydrated when travel-

Moshe Oz ing or hanging out in the outdoors, don’t forget to bring along water for your pets. Do not encourage your dog to run and play outside in the hot hours of the day, exercise your dog in the early morning or evening hours. Make sure your pet has a shady place to rest. It is very important to remember not to leave pets in cars, greenhouses or similar hot environments. Leaving a pet in the car on a hot day, even with a cracked open window, can be deadly even just after a few minutes. When you are taking your dog to the lake, don’t assume that they are hydrated just for the fact that they are in the water, supply drinking water for them. So let us all enjoy the wonderful summer and try to keep our furry friend as safe and cool as possible.

W IMPORT DRAFT
Rockets take Norwegian forward Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With Mitch Callahan, Cody Ito and Cody Chikie as the team’s 19-year-old forwards, the Kelowna Rockets have a relatively small group up front. The Western Hockey League club addressed that need for size on Tuesday selecting Norwegian forward Andreas Stene 25th overall in the CHL Import Draft. Stene is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound centre who played last season with Vålerenga of Norway’s senior men’s league. “We just don’t have enough size there with our 19s, so this helps us in that we shouldn’t have to make a trade,” said Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton. “He’s played some good hockey and he can help us now, rather than us picking a young guy. We’re deep in 1993 and 1994 kids, it was
a 1991 guy we needed.” With the Vålerenga Div. 2 team, Stene had eight goals and 15 assists in 14 games. With the elite squad, he played in 13 games registering no points. Stene has played at all national junior team levels in Norway, from U16 to U20. Last season, he attended the training camp of the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks. “It’s interesting to me that he’s been to Chicago’s camp, they’ve seen something in him,” added Hamilton. “He needs to play more than he’s been playing and he’ll help us address some real needs we have.” The Rockets also had the 85th pick overall in the import draft. The choice had not been announced by press deadline on Tuesday.

Minnesota wild about picking Bulmer
‘‘
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For a guy who barely raised an eyebrow at the Western Hockey League bantam draft three years ago, Brett Bulmer sure found a way to make the NHL stand up and take notice. The Kelowna Rockets forward was a second-round selection in Saturday’s NHL entry draft, going 39th overall to the Minnesota Wild. “It’s obviously the biggest moment of my hockey career,” Bulmer said Sunday from his home in Prince George. “Minnesota is a team that’s up-and-coming with a great fan base. It’s huge for me to go to a team in a strong hockey market.” Bulmer’s value in the eyes of big-league scouts steadily in 2009-10 as the 6-foot-2 175-pound winger progressed in every aspect of

Rockets PROFESSIONAL head coach said HOCKEY PLAYER. Bulmer’s overRyan Huska, all growth as a Rockets coach player during the course of the year was dramatic. “I think it had a lot to do with him understanding what it takes to play at this level and how to become a guy that’s getting ready to
be a professional hockey player,” said Huska. “I think he just started to get an idea of how he had to play to get noticed. Once he got comfortable with that style part way through the season, his game really jumped to a new level.” Bulmer, drafted in the 11th round in the 2007 bantam draft by Kelowna, has always prided himself on succeeding against the odds. Being chosen by the Wild is yet another big step in his lifelong dream of playing pro hockey. “Things are starting to pay off for me,” said Bulmer. “It’s always been my goal from the start and I’ve worked as hard as I can to get this far. This is a huge part of getting where I want to go.” In other draft news, Rockets prospect Teemu Pulkkinen was chosen in the fourth round, 111th overall by the Detroit Red Wings. Kelowna selected the Finnish-born forward in the 2009 CHL Import draft.

Hamilton called up by Edmonton Oilers Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Growing up in Kelowna and playing junior hockey in Saskatoon, Curtis Hamilton has developed a certain affinity for Western Canadian cities. The theme continued on Saturday as the Edmonton Oilers took the 18-year-old forward in the second round, 48th overall in the NHL entry draft. “Being a Western kid, it’s pretty cool to be going to a team that’s in a city between Kelowna and Saskatoon,” said Hamilton. “With only three teams out here, the odds aren’t that high, but I’m excited the Oilers chose me. They’re a team with a good future.” Despite battling injuries for much of 200910, Hamilton’s stock remained high in the eyes
of NHL scouts throughout the WHL campaign. The Saskatoon Blades winger broke his left collarbone twice during the regular season, then suffered a dislocated shoulder in the playoffs. He played in just 31 games all season, but it did nothing to derail Edmonton’s belief in the 6-foot-2 207 pound Hamilton. “He’s a dependable two-way player that can play against good players and with good players,” Oilers GM Steve Tambellini told Oilers Today. “He’s a big man, he plays hard…has he been hurt, yeah he’s been hurt but a lot of times that happens with the growth and development of a young man’s body. “But I don’t anticipate any issues there,” he continued. “He comes from obviously a strong hockey background…he’s just an

better than being selected by the Edmonton Oilers, a team with both a rich history and a budding future.
“I think they’re going nowhere but up,” said Hamilton, the son of Kelowna Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton. “They have (No. 1 pick) Taylor Hall, they have Jordan Eberle, they have a bunch of good young players and the future looks bright. They’re also pushing for a new rink, so it’s a pretty nice situation. There’s a lot of history there, too, every kid remembers them winning cups.” With the draft now in the books, Hamilton can turn his attention this summer to the Canadian junior team’s evaluation camp in St. John’s, Nfld. Hamilton is one of 45 players vying for 22 berths on the national squad for the 2011 world junior championship in Buffalo.

Junior A’s stay in junior premier league hunt The Okanagan A’s grabbed three of four games from the Nanaimo Pirates over the weekend to keep their hats in the ring for a top-five finish in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League. The A’s are in seventh spot with a 17-19 record, but are just a single game out of third place with four games to play. The top five teams earn automatic berths into the JPBL playoffs July 16 to 18. The remaining teams, six through 11, will play off for the last three post-season spots. Saturday at Lombardy Park, the A’s opened the four-game set with an 8-6 over the Pirates. Dallis Senger had three hits and Mike Tongue tossed three innings of one-hit relief for the win. Nanaimo rebounded in Game 2 with a 5-2 win. Dawson Yates and Josh
Wyatt each had two hits in the loss. On Sunday, Brett Loepkky and Dawson Yates each had two RBIs in an 11-7 win. In the series finale, Brandon Johnson and Kody Smith had two RBIs apiece, while Dawson Yates earned the win as Okanagan beat the Pirates 10-1. At just two games under .500, the A’s are relatively pleased with the results of their first season at the junior level. “We didn’t know what to expect coming into the season, but the boys have really picked it up and have done well,” said A’s manager Gary Yates. “We have a lot of depth on our pitching staff and that really helps at this level.” Offensively, Alex Ballingall leads the A’s in batting average at .342, while Brandon Johnson is the

bill Saturday at Elks with the Twins taking the opener 6-2. The A’s bounced back in Game 2 with a 9-4 win as Daniel Ballingall and Dillon Kakoschke had three RBis each. Clinton Heidebrecht tossed a complete game for his fourth win. On Sunday, the Twins won the opener 6-2, then took the series finale 9-2. A’s Brett McLure finished the weelend 4-for10 at the plate and remains second overall in PBL batting with a .429 average.

In the Blues, Beach sees a young team on the rise. “They’re a great organization and they’re looking like they have a good future,” said Beach, the younger brother of 2008 Chicago draft pick Kyle Beach. “They’ve been known for making some good late draft picks, and their farm system is getting stronger and stronger.

It was a long time coming, but the Kelowna Raiders have climbed their way back into the driver’s seat in the Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League. The defending champs moved into sole possession of top spot for the first time this season thanks to a 10-6 win over the Vernon Tigers Friday night at Memorial Arena. The Raiders (7-3) now lead the second-place Armstrong Shamrocks (64) who dropped an 8-7 decision to Kamloops over the weekend. Kelowna was solid on special teams, scoring some key power plays goal while Darcy Leach and Braden Renner spearheaded an effective penalty killing unit. Kelowna’s tough defence led by Travis Lee, Owen Barski, Graham Hartl, Victor Wiens, Jarrett Neigum and backed by goaltender Cam Needham proved to be too much for the Tigers who played their best game of the season against their valley rivals. Kelowna rookies Joe Brown and Jared MacLennan scored two goals apiece, while Eli Wood-Sowcroft, Colin Sherbanuk, Deryk McPhail, Braden Renner, Jarrett Neigum and Kyle MacLennan added singles. For Vernon, pairs came from Shane Sargent and Jorden Schocter with singles added by Kirk Krause and Tanner Skolrood. The Raiders will have Canada Day weekend off before returning to action July 9 in Armstrong. All three of the Raiders’ losses this season have come at the hands of Armstrong.

OGC match play results, week 8
Perfect conditions on the Okanagan Golf Club’s Bear course last week encouraged some of the best scores of the season as tour players continue to jockey for position in the top 16 to determine the Okanagan Golf Club Match Play Tour sponsored by Molsons. Top point getter this week was LJ White with an incredible 32 point outing. Lee Pratt posted 27 points to garner 2nd best point total, while Adam fFik and the Capital News’s own Kevin Parnell rounded out the top three with 25 points. Longest drive on hole 18 was recorded by point leader Garrett Brisbourne while closet to pins went to Mike Wicklund #4, Louis Sbrozzi #6. Randy Jones #11, and Garrett Brisbourne #14. A full clubhouse bore witness to Anthony Gargaro dazzling the troops for a second consecutive
week by dropping a putt the length of the clubhouse to end the eight week carry over and win the long putt contest. Add that to Gargaro’s hole-inone last week, and the sun is definitely shining a little brighter on him the last two weeks.
Here are the current top standings through week eight. 1. Garrett Brisbourne 140 2. Adam Fik 137 3. Darrel Pederson 110 3. Jeff Budda 110 5. Enzo DeLaurentiis 106 6. Sam Ghadban 102 7. Greg Patchell 101

The Falcons road trip will wrap up with three games this weekend in Wentachee against the Apple Sox. Kelowna’s next home action is Monday, July 5 at Elks Stadium against Bend.

Two members of the UBC Okanagan student executive have been released from a detention centre in Toronto. Grayson Lepp and Kirk Chavarie were held at the Special G20 Detention Centre for close to 30 hours after being arrested by police during a night-time sweep at the University of Toronto on June 27. UBC Okanagan student union manager Rob Nagai said Lepp and Chavarie were in Toronto to rally for public education in solidarity with students from across the country. Police raided a University of Toronto residence building and took more than 70 people into custody, including Lepp and Chavarie. Nagai noted the pair had participated in a public education rally on June 26, had gone to the pub that evening and were sleeping at the time police arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were swept up by an aggressive

police force and taken to a horrible detention centre,â&#x20AC;? said Lepp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made a promise to my mom to text her every hour while in Toronto. When I could not make a phone call I was really worried. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I wanted was to call my mom and let her know where I was.â&#x20AC;? Chavarie said what he saw was a total crackdown on civil rights, and that he was lucky to have been released after only 36 hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many others still remain in custody, for doing nothing more than exercising their right to free speech and assembly,â&#x20AC;? Chavarie said. Nagai said the pair were released on Monday night and are still in Toronto. Lepp and Chavarie are charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, or mischief. They are scheduled to appear in court Aug. 23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have complete faith that the charges are going to be dropped.â&#x20AC;?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treat your fireplace like a collection centre for trash Sam Erickson CONTRIBUTOR
With the winter approaching and the days starting to get shorter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start thinking about cozying up to a warm winter fire in the fireplace. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing that says fall more than a crackling fire, a hot drink and sitting around with the family. Fireplaces are a great place for community, but they can also be dangerous. As a result, fireplaces
should be inspected regularly. From year to year, damage can occur to the structure, and small birds and rodents can build homes in the chimney. Creosote, an oily chemical, can build up on the inside of the chimney and lead to chimney fires. You really need an expert inspection every year. If recommended, the fireplace should be cleaned. There are some very simple things to do to make sure you are safe when using the fireplace. The dampers should
always be opened before starting a wood fire, and the flue should stay open, even if the fire is only smoldering. Bonfires can be a really great experience, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have one in your home, so be sure you are not using too much fuel. The purpose of a wood-burning fire at home is for heat, light and, many would say, entertainment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the time to go out and satisfy your primal desire to burn down

the neighbourhood. This means not using lighter fluid to start a fire and using long matches to start your kindling. Fire can be fun to play with, especially for kids, but only wood should be burned in the fireplace. Paper, plastics and other materials can escape while burning and ignite rugs or nearby furniture. For this reason, a screen should always be used. There should always be someone around when the fire is burning, and it
should never be left unattended or left to â&#x20AC;&#x153;burn downâ&#x20AC;? at the end of the night. Keep a pail of water close by to douse the fire if necessary. These days, there are a lot of other materials that might be burned in the fireplace. Artificial logs are not the same as wood, and the directions for these should be read carefully. You should never burn charcoal in your fireplace. It can be an attractive idea to use the self-light-

cent in Westside Kelowna. But that doesn’t faze Stewart. He remains defiant in the face of HST opposition, heralding the tax as good for B.C.’s economy and for job creation. And he blames Fight HST leader Bill Vander Zalm, a man he says was “unceremoniously dumped” as B.C. premier because of his actions for spreading misinformation and Elections B.C. for allowing it. The government, he says, should not have been expected to have to register in the initiative campaign to be allowed to promote the tax, he said. So, in fine damn-the-torpedoes style, Stewart said he’s willing to let
voters decide his political future if he is tabbed for recall. Stewart said he understands why people are upset, they don’t like paying taxes and neither does he. But the HST will create 110,000 new jobs and $11.5 billion in economic investment. And he is now questioning if spending $1 million after the initiative campaign is over is really such a good use of public money. So does that mean that 706,000 HST opponents across B.C. are wrong?

LETTERS
Preference: Soft porn or soft fruit To the editor: The front page of the June 23 Capital News didn’t leave much to the imagination (Honk If You Love Cheerleaders). The young, half naked girls raising money for their cheerleading outfits by means of “enticing drivers to come in for a car wash,” left me wondering if perhaps the fathers of these young ladies might
not want to come up with the monies required in order to prevent their daughters from being viewed as sex objects on the front page of the paper. I’m sure the men who pulled in for a car wash got more than their money’s worth. On another note, I felt the article headlined Soft Fruit Disposal Worries Farmers held more value and should have been
given center page positioning (rather than turn to the inside). I tend to dispose of my soft fruit in the compost bin in my yard. After reading the article about the spotted wing drosophila and the damage that can be caused to other fruit crops by allowing its eggs to develop in the soft fruit that we throw out, I decided that following the proto-
col as set out in the article for soft fruit disposal will be followed in our household. I hope a portion of your readership was able to pull itself away from the half naked young ladies (were they of age?) and consider the ramifications of yet another pest in the Kelowna area. Linda MacGillivray, Kelowna
W PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT
Paramedic says he’s outta here To the editor: Beautiful mountains, lovely lakes, lots of trees. It makes B.C. a great place to visit. Unfortunately the difference between visiting B.C. and living in B.C. is that when you live in B.C., you end up having to look past the tourist appeal and see how this dictatorship of a province is run—and how it affects your life. I moved to B.C. in 2007 ready to start a new life. I moved to a city I had never been to before and was going to start the career of my dreams—as a paramedic. I was ready to establish myself. Three years later I am so sick of how things are run here and how the powers that be have destroyed my career, I am taking my
family and moving us to Ontario. Where else do you have a premier convicted of drinking and driving; a government that has blatantly lied to the people who put them into power just so they can stay in power and line the pockets of their biggest sponsors at the expense of the people they are supposed to look after; and a government that has made such huge cutbacks to vital services such as health care, education, senior services while pouring money into a glorified elitist rich party, a stadium, and a casino? Where else do you have such a vital profession as paramedics being constantly beat down by their own employers?
Where else do you have a government that constantly puts peoples’ lives at risk by extending wait times just so they can shave $50,000 off a multimillion dollar budget? Where else does your own management continue to cut back on funding needed for you to better do your job and then blame you because they still manage to overspend on “hidden” things that have nothing to do with improving the service? I love being a paramedic but I hate being a paramedic in B.C. My own worst enemy is the very person responsible for providing the service I work in. Instead of being appreciated or respected, my own government simply publicly calls me a
liar, whiner, difficult, and even goes as far as using the court system to force me to work overtime even when I needed to be at home when my wife was extremely ill after having emergency surgery and had to look after a newborn on top of that. Could I stay home and help? Not according to the government. If I chose family above work, I would’ve been disciplined and threatened with termination. This is my employer. This is my government. This is why I am leaving B.C. for a better life. My family deserves better than what B.C. is, and where B.C. is going— down the tubes. Jason Angulo, Coldstream
W FLOAT
Ogie perfect city rep To the editor: It has just come to my attention that the City of Kelowna is having a new city float made. The last city float looked ridiculous and now the city is having a city float made that resembles a dragon with a head like a snake that surely will frighten every child and some adults from ever getting there feet wet, never mind swimming in the Okanagan Lake. Get a grip. I have the copyright to the original “Ogie” that is recognized around the globe and has won numerous awards throughout the years for the City of Kelowna. Minitures of Ogie have been handed to many dignitaries including Pope John Paul when he visited B.C. Why the city council removed the Ogie float is beyond me. I also put the City of Kelowna on notice not to destroy the original float kept in the city yards. It will be interesting to see if it is still there. Bill Taylor, Kelowna
W MILITARY RECRUITING
Armed Forces protect our right to differ To the editor: In response to the past two letters regarding military recruitment in high schools, May 19 and one June 11. The fact that the Canadian military is recruiting in high school is not a matter that should bring disdain, we should be proud of any one of our young men and women that join the Armed Forces. In these economic times, the job security, pension and access to free post secondary education are only a few of the factors that should make this an attractive career to our students. Let alone the pride and honor of service that comes with it. Around the world, Canada has a long history as a nation of peacekeepers that we should be proud of. Our mission in Afghanistan may differ from the peacekeeping missions of the ’90s, but our country was called
upon and these soldiers have fulfilled their duty. I too, as one of the writers states, am a parent. And I have no illusion that war is a good thing. I would be proud of any of my kids if they were to decide to pursue a career in the Armed Forces. That is not to say that I wouldn’t worry about them. On the contrary, I would worry and pray for them every day if they were called into action. I would also be comforted by the fact that what they are doing is a noble thing that few people choose to take up. War is a terrible thing, but acting as if it is never necessary to have a military capable of defending our values of world peace is naive. Let us not forget the tens of thousands of men and women who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars, and Korea. The very fact that we
have the freedom to write in and take sides in a discussion is a freedom provided for us by the acts of these soldiers. When diplomatic talks and communication efforts are not able to keep the peace, our Armed Forces are what keep Canada the safe, free, independent land that it is today. The Kelowna peace group said in its statement to School District 23: “Schools are teaching non-violent values and are against bullying. War and invasions contradict these values. Anti-racism is a value within all schools. War and invasions contradict anti-racist values.” Are you in any way implying that promoting our Armed Forces is condoning violence and racism to our students? These are not vulnerable five-yearolds that can’t make decisions for themselves, these are well educated young people that, in less
than a generation, will be our work force and community leaders. Police officers deal with violence and racism every day—should we not promote jobs with the RCMP in our high schools? Doctors deal with pain and suffering all the time—should we steer
capital news A23
our kids clear of that professions for the fear that they will be exposed to such awful things? Give your head a shake and be proud of what the Canadian Armed Forces have done for you, because obviously you wouldn’t be one of them. Adam Benson, West Kelowna

New hub for entrepreneurs F Joel Young Okanagan a massive brain trust, access to enormous resources (if only we look) and a expansive representation of power and authority amidst the many organizations and institutions that comprise our landscape. That being said, I have heard several times over the past few years that what is missing from the equation is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;culture of entrepreneurship.â&#x20AC;? So this week, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk a bit about that piece of the puzzle. Today, supporting entrepreneurship is an economic development strategy with genuine potential to revitalize regional economies and open windows of opportunity for individuals previously left out of the mainstream economy. Communities tend to support entrepreneurs with high growth potential in the hope that they may generate many jobs. Research, however, tells us that most of the new jobs are being created by ventures with less than nine employees, but communities ought to support these entrepreneurs as well. Because with support, such entrepreneurs can undoubtedly gener-
ate additional economic activity. The concept of entrepreneurship helps focus development efforts on building an environment in which many types of people from all types of backgrounds can start entrepreneurial self-employment ventures that do contribute to a regional economy as ours, no matter what their size. Putting economic development work in a regional context can increase its impact. Instead of working in pillars, people who attend to development in all its applications ideally should link with others doing similar work throughout our region.

One of the impacts that I am witnessing lately is the incredible change occurring in our midst. Many of our local organizations and institutions have stepped up the realization that to have a significant impact, they need to act in a larger arena. They understand the need to partner with other organizations and entrepreneurs to transform our regional economy, to create an integrated set of economic forces to help bring about that shift.

or a region full of beauty, natural resources, evidence of affluence and a plethora of people from throughout our world with varying degrees of knowledge, experience, education and zeal, it is sometimes hard to not see the Okanagan as an entrepreneurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground, as a home for developing tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovation. Places like Calgary and Vancouver have traditionally reserved the title of â&#x20AC;&#x153;make your dreams come trueâ&#x20AC;? cities for enterpreneurs. These cities are places where entrepreneurship is expected, encouraged and fostered. After moving to the Central Okanagan some 3 1/2 years ago from Saskatoon, I have been blown away by the emerging entrepreneurial culture, particularly in the last six months, that is quietly emerging among the young and ambitious who want to dramatically shake the status quo here in the Okanagan and globally. It is my opinion, one shared by many others, that there is no reason why the Okanagan shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hubâ&#x20AC;? for entrepreneurship and innovation. We possess many of the critical ingredients that arguably comprise the foundational seat of innovation and creativityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the touchstones of the entrepreneurial path.

ly accessible technical assistance/training • regional communities that value entrepreneurs and link them to appropriate services • access to appropriate capital (don’t we know it?) • the formation of clusters that provide sector-specific assistance • a process for gathering information about gaps in the system and developing policy and new services to address such gaps (I really like the importance of this void that truly needs highlighting). Such entrepreneurial system points lead us to viewing a network or conceptual hub model which to work well requires entrepreneurs and associated organizations to work together in a network hub concept.
Such a hub concept is the set of entrepreneurs, both technological and non-technological alike, organizations, and residents working together to make sure that entrepreneurs get the support they need to start up and flourish. To be truly effective, such a hub model must include and be driven by the region’s entrepreneurs and their needs. Here is where I have become, of late, particularly excited as many organizations, not just the entrepreneurs themselves, will be involved in the network hub to develop new or modified services, policies and collaborations. I’m overjoyed to see our region are on the cusp of becoming a major entrepreneurial hub of the B.C. Interior through
the leadership that has evolved from the creation of a research and innovation centres both in Kelowna and Penticton, the new face of the Okanagan Science and Technology Council; the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society and the spirit of innovation that has arisen strongly within our institutions such as UBCO, Okanagan College, CATO; and a valley-wide media that is demonstrating a strong support for new venture creation in our midst. The Okanagan is on the road to becoming a major hub for entrepreneurship and innovation, and this is going to be very, very huge.

Fire museum opens its doors on Canada Day S
Maxine DeHart
et to open its doors on Canada Day, The Kelowna Fire Museum and Education Centre, located at 1630 Water St. (beside the historic Water Street Fire Hall), started off as an urgent need to preserve the firefighting memorabilia after the 2003 Okanagan Mountain fire. At the time, then Kelowna fire chief Gerry Zimmermann came to realize how much “stuff” was clogging the local fire halls. Instead of tossing it out, museum executive director Brian Moore came up with an idea that the “junk” was a valuable part of local history—a m useum where fire department memorabilia would be collected and made available to the community. Run by volunteers, the museum’s collection includes a fully restored 1928 Graham ladder truck (make sure to try out the hand siren when you see it) as well as several other vintage trucks, equipment and more than 20,000 images. The education centre was named after firefighter Garry Drachenberg, who tragically lost his life on July 22, 1966. The Firehouse Kitchen Coffee Shop will be managed by the Kelowna Lioness Club (try the unique and healthy yogurt milkshake). The Kelowna Mission Lions Club will host a museum fundraiser barbecue at the Water Street location between 10 a.m. and noon on Thursday, July 1, with hamburgers and hot dogs.

Dr. Ursula Harlos, a homeopathic doctor and trained specialist in regulation thermography, has opened her own practice, Okanagan Thermography. She is dedicated
to the early detection and treatment of breast issues and organ imbalances as well as cancer support treatments. Regulation thermography has been used by medical doctors in Europe for more than 30 years. It is painless and non-invasive, with no radiation, injections, dyes or squeezing of tissue. It is a tool for detection in early breast issues as well as inflammation and degeneration in the body. It correlates breast issues with other areas of the body like blocked lymph, thyroid, adrenals and even teeth. This type of thermography has the advantage of assessing multiple organ systems, not just
the breast. More than 100 precise measurements are taken with a highly sensitive medial sensor and the data is correlated in a computerized data base of about two million scans worldwide. Regulation thermography is a preventive and pro-active tool and can detect functional changes before tumors form and is also a way to monitor the progress of any treatment plan you are on.

In the past, golfers usually carried only two wedges, the pitching and sand, which had lofts of 48 and 56 degrees respectively. The ideal gap in lofts between clubs should be four degrees and there-

Court singles out union instigators
T
he fact that there may be misconduct on union picket lines during a labour dispute should not surprise anybody. What may be surprising is that certain individuals may be present for the express purpose of inflaming the situation. A recent example of a labour dispute which ended up in front of the B.C. Supreme Court demonstrates the extent to which these union tactics cross the boundary between the acceptable and the downright offensive. The members of the Canadian Office & Professional Employees Union (COPE), Local 378, were on strike against their employer, Hertz Canada Limited. The striking employees were employed at Vancouver International Airport and at a service centre in nearby Richmond and were picketing at both locations. As a result of the conduct of certain individuals present on the picket line, Hertz ended up applying to the B.C. Supreme Court for an injunction restraining the union’s activities. Hertz complained that, in roughly a threee-month period, it had to call in the RCMP to assist approximately 60 times as a result of picket line activity. Hertz complained that certain picketers’ behaviour was vulgar, sexual, abusive and foul. Particular individuals were accused of truly obscene, aggressive, and intimidating behaviour. Their alleged activities included yelling obscenities, particularly at
female management employees of Hertz. I won’t set out the foul language verbatim, but my young Robert sons would Smithson say there was a whole lot of use of the “f-word,” the “b-word,” and the “a-word.” Hertz’s management employees were justifiably offended and intimidated by these union instigators. An example of COPE’s intimidation tactics was a newsletter containing a photograph of one management employee “showing her as beheaded with blood dripping from her neck.” Certain of the union instigators were alleged to have aggressively approached management employees, including threatening to “take you out” accompanied by extremely vulgar sexual threats. On another occasion, a picketer was alleged to have approached a manager’s vehicle and “made an obscene sexual gesture by simulating masturbation.” The picketing members’ alleged conduct included the obligatory blocking of vehicles entering and exiting the Hertz premises. It allegedly progressed to the point of a union member slapping the vehicle of a female manager with a picket sign. Most of the union conduct complained of by Hertz management employees was not disputed. Hertz’s evidence was that one of the main instigators was a paid picketer and was not a Hertz employee at either of the struck lo-
LEGAL EASE
cations. The court reviewed all of this various misconduct, noted that the management employees were “sorely provoked” by the picketers’ aggressive and intimidating behaviour, and concluded that there was “a serious risk of harm to Hertz employees” at the picketed locations. As well, the union’s conduct had driven away customers or potential Hertz customers and had irreparably harmed Hertz’s business reputation. The court stated that the COPE members’ actions constituted unlawful intimidation, harassment and obstruction. In relation to the individuals accused of instigating this conduct, the court agreed that COPE had “used a tactic of having a particularly aggressive person inflame the picketing.” The extent to which the court was offended by the conduct of certain COPE members was reflected in its comment that the union’s conduct was “antithetical to a civilized society” and that it was “shockingly inappropriate.” Not surprisingly, the court granted Hertz’s application for an injunction to restrain the union’s offensive conduct. This union’s name may be the Canadian Office & Professional Employees Union, but there was certainly nothing “professional” about the behaviour of the instigators they utilized.

Has Gout Affected You? Gout is an extremely painful condition that can effect people of all races and ages. It can effect both men and women but it is more common in men. It is uncommon in children and young adults. Gout used to be considered a problem for the rich, kings, gentry, and others who ate too much and drank too much wine. Some people have a genetic predisposition due to a disorder of purine metabolism. In these individuals attacks of gout can be triggered by eating foods high in purines and by consuming high quantities of alcohol. Others can have secondary gout. Secondary gout is associated with another medical condition such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, certain medications, particularly diuretics (water pills), salicylates (aspirin), and niacin. Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood which settlles out as uric acid crystals in the joints. This causes pain, redness, and swelling. Any joint can be involved. Classic signs of gout are pain, redness, and swelling in the big toe or elbow. The pain can be both chronic or can present suddenly. A number of therapies are available. Some more successful than others. SciMed Research is starting a research trial to evaluate a new investigational therapy to lower uric acid, the cause of gout. If you have been diagnosed with or suffer from gout symptoms you may qualify to participate in this research trial. Please call SciMed Research to register for a no cost obligation consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for this gout study.

We would like to thank the following sponsors
s our small businesses grow, we may need to add
staff. The expectation is that if I hire staff, I can off-load some of what I do and then I can go after more business. Sometimes adding staff can place more of a burden on the business owner, especially during times of training and staff turnover or if you have hired someone that turns out to not be a good fit for your company. When considering adding staff, it is really important to determine what you want the staff member to do and set out procedures that will help you to train the staff member. There is nothing more frustrating than training a staff person and when you think they are fully trained, they continue to come to you for answers to procedural questions that could have been taken care of in a procedural document. The other consideration is qualifications. You need to look for a person that is qualified for
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka the position and has had training in another business for the position you are looking to fill. If someone else has trained your candidate, then it becomes easier for them to slide into the position in your office. Finally there is the question of fit. Most staff that work in a small office need to be self starters which means that they need to be able to understand the business quickly and need to be able to see what needs to be done and be able to work independently and fearlessly. It is most disappointing to hire staff who flatly refuse to try anything new out of their comfort zone and let things pile up for you to deal with when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you have time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Also, the new staff
memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality needs to fit with you and more importantly your customers. If you hire someone that is rude to your customers, then you run the risk of losing them and your business quickly. So that brings up the question of management style and of leadership. My definition of management is to have the procedures in place and methods to review the work being done along the way and at the end point. If there are questions, the staff member can then be referred back to the procedure document. Writing up procedures for every task can be a very time consuming process. In many small businesses, the procedure depends on the individual customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wants and that is very difficult to write into a policy. So I would expect a lot of interaction with your staff with respect to your customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and wants. Perhaps a contact
management software program might help to outline the idiosyncrasies about the account. One method that works quite well is to have each person in the position create a job description in detail, so that in case anything happens to that person someone from a temporary agency can come in and pick up the job description or procedures document and continue on with the work fairly easily. Again, this document must be kept up to date especially if there are software changes or frequent staff turnovers. Managing is also being able to give performance reviews and being able to confront and correct a staff member that might be out of line. Most people strive to do a good job and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally come to work looking for things to mess up during the day. We can all have a bad day, or perhaps something has been misunderstood, See Banka B16

Bluegrass band rocks it out Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
While the entire world may be Wavin’ Flag to Canadian K’naan’s catchy soccer anthem this month, Thursday is all about waving our own Canadian flag. And there are plenty of good Canadian musicians in town to throw down a little rhythm for us to beat our own chests to—starting with a rockin’ bluegrass group who like to boast they’re from “dirty downtown Winnipeg,” where the sight of bugs on the windshield means you’re finally nearing home. “Get ready to shake a booty and have a good wholesome hoedown— with a bit of danger too,” said Matt Magura, front man for The Magnificent Sevens, who play the Minstrel Café Thursday evening. The Sevens have kind of a funny name for a sixmember collective, but if you’re up on your old Western movies you’ll know The Magnificent Seven were some of the most infamous cowboy characters of all time. The danger-loving gunslingers saved a village of Mexican farmers from bandits in the 1960 John Sturges classic of the same name and have been raiding VCRs, and the sleepless nights of fans and collectors, ever since. The Magnificent Sevens sound equally brazen and recently proved they
can be a little daring too. Earlier this month they performed as the first-ever house band for Edmonton’s Improvaganza festival, providing a musical soundscape for duelling improve artists. At one point, Magura said, the band’s stage spun around in a circle and a new wing-nut twist to the performance, he claims, took a little getting used to; their adaptive style sounds like it would fit the bill, anyway. “We try to rock out as hard as we can for a bluegrass band,” said Magura. The band basically formed as friends and got their first gig almost by accident. One band member was working at Winnipeg’s Gas Station Theatre, a well known spot in the city’s active arts community, and started letting the others in to play in the lobby “into the wee hours.” They started hosting Friday and Saturday night jam sessions parties that wrapped at dawn. By March of 2007, one of the party-goers set up a show in a local café and from there the group sort of took off despite themselves. They picked their name to sound “bad ass,” only to discover that too was an experience they would have to share. The bad ass bluegrass collective operates under the same moniker as a punk, gothic, country band from Europe and

Claiming Kelowna as their hometown, the musicians rolled in from their perpetual tour Monday to be on home turf for the holiday and to play a show at Doc’s Thursday evening.

Live music venue looking back and ahead Pyper Geddes Come eat, listen, and celebrate with Habitat as they commemorate their five year anniversary on Friday, July 16. The evening will be a look back on everything that has made Habitat into the successful, unique live music and event venue that it is today. But it will also be a look into the future as attendees will get a sneak peak at what’s to come at Habitat in the next project phase. What would be a great night at Habitat without some great live music to accompany? Maple Ridge-based group Familia (www.myspace. com/familiaband) will be providing the entertainment for the evening with a great blend of rock, pop, and soul along with Kelowna local Ange Alero (www.myspace.com/angealero). Over the past five years, Habitat has been through so many changes that it’s hard to remember how the space was even started.
What was once an empty space and a blank canvas has now turned into a contemporary venue with the means to transform the room depending on the different events that are hosted, from art shows to wedding receptions to live concerts. Without the laborious efforts of owner Quinn Best and his staff, there is no way that Habitat could have grown into the acclaimed community space that it is today. “Five years is a major milestone for any business. This event will celebrate all of the people, friends, and family who have all enabled this project to be such a huge success,” said Best. But apart from a creative space that hosts concerts and events, there is much more that goes on
behind the scenes. Best took on another exciting venture in 2008 when he submitted a bid for Kelowna to host the Western Canadian Music Awards. Kelowna was chosen as the host city in September 2009 and now the ball is rolling to bring one of Canada’s biggest awards show (now titled BreakOut West) to the Okanagan, Oct. 21 to 24. BreakOut West isn’t just an awards shows though—the festival brings out top western Canadian artists and industry professionals for four days of concerts, showcases and conferences. Without the dedication of Best and his local bid committee, along with the support from the City of Kelowna and numerous local sponsors, bringing this festival to Kelow-
The festivities will take place at Habitat (248 Leon Ave.) with the media launch from 4 to 6 p.m. and doors open to the public at 6 pm. Live music will start at 8 p.m. A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase are $10 and are available on Habitat’s estore (estore.thehabitat.ca), Leo’s Video, and Tweaked and Yummy.

Miller-Heidke offers up some refreshing quirky pop KATE MILLER-HEIDKE: CURIOUSER (SONY)
Kate Miller-Heidke will be playing at The Habitat tonight, the eve before she appears at Canada Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener of the Lilith Fair 2010 at Ambleside Park, West Vancouver. Her album Curiouser came out a couple of years ago in her native Australia but it has just been released domestically to tie in with the big concert series. From her CD photo cover, Kate M-H has it all over Lady GaGa when it comes to head gear, wigs, make-up and tete fashion but all other comparisons end there. Kate M-H is a very witty and somewhat quirky pop musician where Lily Allen meets Cyndi Lauper comes to mind along with a dash of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s new wave popster Lene Lovich (check out the song Motorscooter). Kate M-H also has a couple of degrees in music studies and she started out as a classical opera singer before she switched to indie/tech/ pop. She has an offbeat and clever sense of humour on songs like Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Shake It where she frets over not having enough confidence nor sufficient booty to shake her money maker on the dance floor. There is also a poignant song about high school bullying on Caught In The Crowd where Kate M-H later feels guilty for not sticking up for the victim. And, as expected, there are a few songs about relationships that come at you from different anglesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;check out
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE SOUNDTRACK (ATLANTIC)
This third Twilight soundtrack, like its predecessors, is selling like hot cakes making its debut at the lofty No.4 spot. The soundtracks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly loaded with hits nor are they hits generators so I am wondering who is the most interested in these CDs. My wife loved the books and enjoyed the films but when I gave her this new
Bruce Mitchell her uproarious Are You F_king Kidding Me?, a Bonus Track on this 14tune disc. The gig at The Habitat tonight will be an intimate affair from this whimsical and likeable up and comer and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if Kate Miller-Heidke throws in a few operatic trills and frills to augment her sly songs. B
LILITH 2010: (NETTWERK/ SONY)
This 16-track onehour long album is a fine primer for the upcoming and somewhat beleaguered Lilith Tour. Some dates such as Nashville and Phoenix have been outright cancelled while others in Vancouver and Edmonton have been moved to smaller sites. The weak USA economy explains some of this but I was surprised to see this Lilith sampler make
its debut at the lowly No. 86 spot on the national album charts in that it is such a solid collection of songs. This disc is loaded with primo hits from Colbie Caillat, Kelly Clarkson, Ke$ha, Rihanna, Sara Bareilles, Chantal Kreviazuk etc. Meanwhile, there are excellent album cuts from the likes of Norah Jones, Corinne Bailey Rae, Tegan & Sara as well as the above mentioned Kate Miller-Heidke.

I guess the big selling point of this disc is the studio version of Sarah McLachlanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspirational song One Dream for the 2010 Olympics. The CD subtitle, A Celebration Of Women In Music, sums it all up for this nicely loaded an-

MCCANNEL, Archibald Gilbert
It is with sadness we announce the passing of Archie McCannel at the age of 93 years on June 23, 2010, in his home at The Village at Smith Creek in West Kelowna. Always young at heart and generous of spirit, Archie attracted many friends throughout his life. A veteran of World War II, he returned safely to his loving family after four years overseas. Born June 2, 1917 and raised in Saskatchewan, Archie and his new bride, Eileen, moved to Trail BC where he was employed by Cominco for the rest of his working life. They enjoyed life in Trail being especially active with golf and curling. It was with difficulty that they left their many friends in Trail to move to Kelowna in 1996 to be closer to family. They embraced life in Kelowna and especially enjoyed the time they spent as volunteers at the David Lloyd Jones Home. Archie will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. He is predeceased recently by his sister, Marjorie Kelsey and his brother, John Arthur McCannel. He is survived by his wife of seventy years, Eileen, his daughter Judy Nistor (Bud), his grandson, Craig Nistor (Ronda), his grandaughter, Jennifer Neal (Rob), his great grandsons, Charlie, Jake, Riley, Bradley, Brodie, and his great grandaughter, Kinsey. He is lovingly remembered by his many neices and nephews and his cousins. The family would like to express gratitude for the loving care Archie received from the staff at Smith Creek. A memorial service will be held at Everden Rust Funeral Services, 1910 Windsor Rd. In Kelowna on Saturday, July 3, 2010 at 2:00 pm with Rev. Karen Medland of First United Church conducting the service. Interment will follow at a later date in Trail BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Archie to either Trail or Kelowna hospitals at these addresses: Kootenay Boundary Hospital Health Foundation, 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail, B.C.

Everyone loved to hear her tell jokes! Cards and Bingo were her passion! Rosie left her family home of 60 years and moved to the Dorchester Retirement Home, where she met with old friends and made many new ones. She is survived by her daughter, Thelma (Dave) Bruce, Westbank, Reba (Don) Hawthorne, Cocolalla, Idaho, Rod (Jean) Gagnon, Winfield and Don (Evelyn) Gagnon, Kelowna, 10 grandchildren, 14 greatgrandchildren, a brother Bert (Velma) Sperling and sister-in-law Madeline Jennens, both of Kelowna and numerous nieces and nephews.

BRECHT, Lawrence (Larry) (1927 - 2010)
Passed away peacefully at the age of 82 in the presence of family on June 25th 2010 at Kelowna General Hospital. Lawrence, the 2nd of 10 children born to Jacob and Cecilia Brecht, was born and raised near Viscount,Saskatchewan and married Lillian Hartley on August 7, 1948 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. They resided in Crutwell, Sask where Lawrence worked for the C.N.R. until they moved to BC in 1950, finally settling in Kelowna in 1962 where he worked as Facilities Coordinator for Okanagan College until his retirement in June of 1987. Larry was a devoted husband,father and grandfather who loved working with his hands, building furniture and wooden toys for his kids and grandkids that he was able to also proudly sell at the various craft fairs that he and Lillian loved to attend after his retirement. Camping and traveling were high on the list of things he liked to do, especially with his family. Lawrence was predeceased only 3 months ago by his loving wife/best friend Lillian…we know that they are together now as he takes his place at her side amongst the angels. Survived by devoted sons Tim (Louise) and Terry (Linda), loving grandchildren Demian (Heather), Dustin (Tara), Lara, Dyllan and Kayla (Robert), as well as great grand children Madison, Tyler and Lily, we know that he will always be remembered fondly by the countless family and other friends who were blessed to know him.

to the person, the small business owner may do the task themselves after hours, the way that they know it needs to be done. My question is then: What are you paying your staff for, if you are redoing the work after hours? Leadership is another way of managing staff. My definition of leadership is to show someone the starting point and then explain what the end point is supposed to look like but let them figure out the way between the two points. If you use this method of management, you need to be really clear about some sort of deadline for the task, otherwise you could have a staff member spinning their wheels and not really getting anything accomplished. The staff member that is given this freedom needs to have enough education and experience to be able to get from point ‘a’ to point ‘b’ easily. It is easy to give a task to a really gung ho staff member, only to discover several weeks later that there was so little understanding of what was required that you need to do it all over yourself from scratch anyway and how do you bill for that? Sometimes communication with staff needs to occur more than once. In other words, you may need to explain procedures and concepts to staff members several times as people may not understand where you are coming from right away. The magic is to encourage questions as well as encourage independent thinking and initiative. There are also several other kinds of management and leadership styles that I have not discussed here. Examples are the team concept of leadership or perhaps the gofer style of management. In many small businesses the staff component of the financial statement might be the most significant expense on the statement so it needs to be managed carefully. We tend to get so drawn up in getting the customers or doing the more complex work, that we neglect the communication with our staff. Our staff is also the best selling feature of our business, so it is important to keep them happy and when our staff are happy, we are happy too.
