‘Rednecks’ want land to use for mud-bogging Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

The Urban Rednecks Off-Road Association would like your support for mud-bogging. But, not just anywhere. They’re working toward an application for Crown land tenure where they could hold controlled events, and thus prevent random damage to natural wetlands and riparian areas elsewhere. Kris Kinjerski and Isaac Andres are two members of the executive council of the new association and say they feel the Postill ponds would be ideal since they’ve already been used for decades for four-wheeling, and there is no creek that runs out of them to cause further environmental damage downstream. However, they are quick to point out that they would consider any parcel of Crown land suggested by the Integrated Land Management Bureau for off-road activities. The new UROR had an entry in this year’s Rutland May Days parade as well as a booth where they passed out some of their brochures and talked to people about their proposal. Kinjerski says they would have spill kits with

absorbent cloths and buckets for cleaning up any spill of vehicle fluids and prevent contamination of the ground; all vehicles would have to have fire extinguishers and there would be sites for small vehicles as well as larger ones, with difficulty ratings. Toilets would be set up on-site and there would be a concession stand as well as machinery to retrieve stuck or broken vehicles. There would be consequences for any illegal behaviour, emphasized Kinjerski. Right now, there are random incidents of environmental damage being done around the Okanagan from off-road vehicles, but UROR members believe they can bring all that to one site, for controlled events and legal mud-bogging instead. “There are no designated off-road parks in B.C.,” noted Andres. First, they’re working on getting as much support as possible from residents and the business community for their proposal, including from the Conservation Officer service and the RCMP, so they can take that to ILMB with an application for Crown land tenure.

One teen dead, one in custody after stabbing Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

What neighbours say started as just a regular night of partying turned a residential street in Peachland into a gruesome crime scene late Wednesday, leaving one teenage girl’s family and friends to deal with the fallout of a life lost. “I had to pinch myself, I thought I was in a bad dream,” said David Mulhall from his San Clemente Avenue home, adjacent to the crime scene, Thursday morning. “Parties were a weekly

occurrence, but last night it went particularly late, so my wife and I went into the garage to observe what was happening.” From their vantage point they could hear someone screaming “how could you do this, I would never do this” and he assumed it was a conflict over boyfriends. “Then I looked outside and there was an injured person in the grass at the bottom of our driveway,” he said. In time the person moved off his property, leaving behind a pool of blood that trailed onto the

road. “I assume she was dragged across, or she crawled, but by that time there was just hysterical shouting.” Emergency services arrived shortly after and Mulhall watched as they administered CPR to a 16-year-old girl, bringing out the defibrillator at one point. Const. Steve Holmes said the Mounties are still piecing together what happened but he confirmed the Mt. Boucherie student died from stab wounds received at the party. The identity of the

dead girl has not been released. Another 16-year-old girl, apparently a classmate, was taken into police custody in connection with the stabbing. The identity of that girl has also not been released by police. The house where the violence broke out is one police have visited in the past. “I don’t know the frequency that it was visited by police and I don’t know if it was a problem home,” Holmes said. “I do know it had been attended sometime in the past.”

SPCA still feels wildfire fallout

Impact of stabbing death ‘far-reaching’ stabbing from A1 law enforcement, warned Mulhall to stay away as it’s best not to bring on any attention, should it turn violent. While the events of Wednesday night confirmed his son’s assumption, friends of the young woman who died have now put together a Facebook site to grieve, remember fondly or give well wishes to family. “So very sad to hear that such a young life has to be taken this way. RIP. To your family, so very sorry for your loss,” read one entry. “This is a devastating time. I have to add that I also feel sad for the person who committed the crime. Both so young and so very unnecessary.” Not all comments were as kind however, and the Facebook page went from public to closed by mid-afternoon when it became less of a site for homages, and more of a depository for profanitylaced spam. That kind of online activity, explained Holmes, is where many conflicts between teens are being played out in increasingly web-savvy times, although he couldn’t speak specifically to the fight between two young women last night. “Having been a school liason officer I know, because of the technology we have, it’s so easy to perpetuate contact via Facebook and texting, etc.,” he said. “That kind of verbal violence—uttering threats and gossiping—exacer-

bates situations and unfortunately, if that ultimately leads to face-to-face encounters, it escalates quickly.” Hugh Gloster, superintendent of the Central Okanagan school district, said there’s no indication that the incident is a sign of any trends within the district. “We have a safe schools committee, and there’s no evidence to suggest there’s any increase in violence in schools,” he said. “It does appear to be a single tragedy that’s profound and far-reaching. It will have an impact on those who knew the victim and others who are impacted by the nature of the violent act.” Those who are struggling with the news will be able to access a drop-in centre that’s been set up, while at-risk students are flagged and counselling begins. “A team is onsite today and they are prepared to respond to the needs of that school (Mt. Boucherie Secondary) and the community,” Gloster said. Holmes said he hopes that those who know the young woman who died and are feeling the pain of her loss don’t lash out violently as they work through their emotions. “I know it’s a tragic time, for adults and youth alike,” he said. “Both girls went to the same school and there’s a wave of grief sweeping through. But grief can cause people to be reactive and we want people responding, to do so properly.” reporter@kelownacapnews.com

It’s been nearly a year since the disaster that put BCSPA staff and volunteers in the line of fire, but the organization is still treating burns incurred by the financial fallout. “What the community needs to understand, is that the shelter functions at 100 per cent capacity all the time,” said Mike McGee, branch manager of the Kelowna BCSPCA, recalling the wildfires that sent he and his staff into the Westside hills to rescue hundreds of animals that had been stranded in homes, while their owners waited and worried. “So to bring 500 animals, that’s very taxing.” As BCSPCA volunteers and staff rescued stranded pets, costs mounted. They had to cover the wages for the employees who worked straight through the first 72 hours, and worked overtime for the next two weeks. All other operations during the fire were put on hold as caring for displaced animals became the biggest issue. “Thankfully, with the support of several rescue groups, we were able to spread out the workload, but it was costly,” he said. Only 1.3 per cent of BCSPCA funds are covered by the government. The other 98 per cent is raised through charity drives. What made last year’s wildfires more damaging to the local SPCA’s books, is that the government usually supplies funds to augment losses, but this year was different, explained Craig Daniell, CEO of the BCSPCA on

his way here for a weekend golfing fundraiser. “Approximately, seven years ago, we responded to the fire situation in the Kamloops area and we had a lot of staff in the field at that time, responding to animal issues in the region and our costs ran up over $100,000 at the time,” he said. “We were reimbursed a significant portion. Unfortunately last year in the Okanagan wildfires we found ourselves on the front lines, but when discussing potential for reimbursement with government, we were told there would be none whatsoever.” Adding insult to injury, is that a grant of $75,000 was also cut, and when all is said and done that’s put them in a rough spot. “We have to say OK, what are we going to do differently this year? We simply won’t be able to be at the front line of every single emergency—we don’t have the resources to do that,” Daniell said. The SPCA is now turning to the public, hoping they can ramp up fundraising drives. This weekend there’s a golfing tournament, and later in the summer is the regular Paws for Cause event. “The only way we can operate a shelter like Kelowna is through public support, so we fundraise through the year,” said Daniell. “Events allow the community to connect with the SPCA, learn about the shelter and raise funds that allow us to continue working.” For more go to www.spca.bc.ca/ branches/kelowna.

Some of the recent enforcement action is the result of contraventions originally identified by the RCMP, who have provided that information to the liquor inspector,” said a representative. Typically the branch will review this information and may recommend enforcement action. If it does, the licensee can request a hearing and the branch must present evidence that proves, on a balance of probabilities, a contravention occurred.

Cheap apple sell-off protest a hit, this time under noses of MLAs Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Consumers seem to be a little more politically aware in Victoria, where orchardists trucked nine bins of apples over the weekend to sell at the James Bay Farm Market. B.C. Fruit Growers Association board member Fred Steele commented: “They were very well-educated about marketplace problems,

Steve Thomson and many of those buying our apples had come out

to support us.” Growers have been selling apples at farmer’s markets around the province at the price they’re receiving for them this year, 12 cents a pound— far below supermarket prices—to draw attention to the fact they are receiving less than half what it costs to produce the fruit. The first such sale was held at the Kelowna Farmer’s Market April 3, when 5,000 pounds of apples

were sold, in an event that saw lineups snaking through the market; then 7,200 were sold at the Abbotsford Farm Market April 24. Last weekend 6,400 pounds were sold in Victoria, mostly a bag at a time, said Steele. Buyers included Opposition leader Carole James and agriculture critic Lana Popham, he said. Proceeds from all the sales are donated to such

causes as the local food bank, children’s hospital or the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets. Brochures are also handed out explaining the importance of consumers buying local in order to support B.C.’s farm community. Steele said a Facebook page created by Nadene Casorso, a Kelowna grower, now has nearly 3,300 supporters. The website can be accessed by search-

ing for ‘I support Okanagan tree fruit growers.’ However, the growers’ ultimate aim is to get public support for emergency government assistance for the industry to carry it over this crash in market prices, which is partly due to a huge crop of apples from south of the border last year, and partly to the strong Canadian dollar. The province has said there will not be an ad hoc payment, but Agriculture

Minister Steve Thomson says the government is trying to come up with some other way of helping growers over this difficult time. Without any income from last year’s crop, many growers say they can’t afford to continue to maintain their orchards by pruning and fertilizing and spraying. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Aussie tribute band ready to fly like an eagle into Kelowna Jennifer Smith tSTAFF REPORTER Were you ever so worried your favourite band would not return that you contemplated taking to the stage to impersonate them? It might sound like a stretch, but that is how The Eagles Experience, an Australian Eagles tribute band coming to Kelowna next week, got their start. “We started about 10 years ago. At the time,

in Australia, the Eagles weren’t touring at all. I think the last thing they did was the Hell Freezes Over Tour and no one knew if they were coming back,” said Richard Baker, the cast member who performs as Don Felder. That might not set the stage for a new career for you, but for Baker it was pretty well a call to arms. Baker grew up in a musical family, listening to his dad’s 1960s jive, and rock ‘n’ roll. He picked up the

Buddy Holly, the country, but when it came to the Eagles, well, that was the good stuff to his estimation. Once he and band mates started touring, they developed a bit of a reputation and it wasn’t long before others were telling them about tribute artists in countries on the other side of the world. The result is an eclectic Eagles experience with one member sporting an Irish brogue as thick as a brick (no wait, that’s Jeth-

ro Tull), and another with a Kiwi’s easy wit. Tony Cowell, of New Zealand, plays as Joe Walsh, while fellow Aus-

tralians David Wright (as Glenn Frey) and Russell Davey (as Timothy Schmit) round out the famous five along with that Irishman, Timothy Schmit as Russell Davey. By far and away their biggest hit is Heartache Tonight, according to Baker, who says the international appeal of the group’s music came as a surprise, even to him. Playing to the casino crowds in South Africa, they found fans in the desert along the Namibian

boarder still raring to hear the old tunes. Spanning performances from 1972 on, the group plays everything from the band’s greatest hits to some of their very latest songs, combining their performance with a multimedia extravaganza designed to suck audiences in to the chart toppers. This is not where Baker’s musical aspirations end, however. He figures the band has a couple of years to go until

they’ll retire and maybe write their own tunes in the vein of their current musical personalities. Either way, the show from down under should be a rousing success in the Okanagan where if there’s one tribute artist to beat, it’s gotta be Elvis. The countdown to Elvis Fest is on, but for those jonesing for their 70s rock fix, the psuedo Eagles will be at the Rotary Centre for the Arts June 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $50.

▼ CANCER FIGHT

Fifty teams have signed up to participate in Relay For Life Relay from A6 or someone who is currently living with it too.” Salituro said another important component of Relay For Life is education. “This is a way that we can reach people and let them know all the different ways they can prevent cancer. Fifty per cent of cancers are preventable.” Individuals can do many things to guard against cancer by eating a healthy diet and maintain

a healthy body weight, exercising and staying away from environmental carcinogens, said Salituro. “We want to motivate people to fight back and prevent cancer in themselves and those they love.” Relay For Life is scheduled to start with opening ceremonies in City Park at 6 p.m., continuing until 6 a.m. Sunday. During the 12-hour event, teams stroll around a track in honor of surviv-

ors, in memory of loved ones and in unity in the fight against cancer. “Why over night? Our motto is cancer never sleeps, so neither will we.” So far 50 teams have signed up for the event and the fundraising goal is $145,000. “To be honest with you, participation is down from last year and so is our fundraising goal. I’d be guessing as to why. Maybe it’s the economy, maybe it’s something

else.” Regardless, Salituro said the 50 teams were in for a great event. “Volunteer (organizers) Carla Malmberg and

â&#x2013;ź CENTURY RIDE

Rain doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dampen ridersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mood

f grey skies had you feeling this past month was more of â&#x20AC;&#x153;mehâ&#x20AC;? than May, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know how the century riders felt when they woke up last Sunday. This kick-off event for the road riders has come to signify the start of a strong Okanagan riding season, where the best come to practise and the rest of us try to just keep pace. This was my first year trying out the ride, courtesy of the organizing committee headed by Lisa Jaffary, and though I opted for the 56-kilometre distance, owing to my terminal novice status and inability to conquer downhills, it left me pretty pumped, rain or no rain. And boy did it rainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; though thankfully not on the course. Heading out early Sunday for the 9 a.m. ride, one pretty well couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t avoid the showers heading into Vernon, heading out of Vernon and well, maybe even in Kelowna if you were pulling up a little late. Having finished a rather splish-splash ride Thursday that left me degreasing and spraying for several hours Saturday evening, I was none too

thrilled by the prospect of another slip-slidey day in the saddle. I gather even experienced road riders donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the wet stuff, so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a hair shy of descents, the prospect of slick streets is enough to make you shudder. Thankfully, the weather held out and the morning actually turned out to

ing, or no big thing because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple of good benches, depending on who you talk to and, well, how honest they feel like being. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a speed demon or one of the ones demanding to slow down (OK, that was just me), the Century Ride is another one of those events thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also known

be one of the best conditions of the season. We probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a sweatless (OK less sweaty) trek like that for some time, so for those who got out to enjoy the event it was a treat worth savouring. Having seen the Okanagan-Shuswap century ride now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty geared to return next year and try the whole thing, ugly hill included; which is either so hard you might fall off and your thighs are scream-

Good thing too, because when this paper first met the Binghams, it was in a less than lucky scenario with rabbits running rampant in their neighbourhood.

The Bernard Avenue revitalization open house, in conjunction with the Downtown Kelowna Association, goes today, Friday, and seeks public input on the redesign of Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street. The underground utilities and pavement along Bernard Avenue must be replaced within the next few years. Since the street will undergo construction, city officials say there is an opportunity to beautify and create a pedestrian-friendly place along Bernard between Richter Street and the Sails. The open house is until 7 p.m. today at 450 Bernard Avenue (24 Presentation Centre). On Monday, June 7, a Rotary Park expansion open house will be held at the park including a community workshop to further develop this waterfront park for the future. Members of the public are encouraged to take part in the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design. The city now owns two residential properties north of Rotary Beach Park.

Organizers gearing up for this year’s edition of Fat Cat Festival Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Twenty years ago, the Fat Cat Festival was little more than a conversation piece among some friends sitting around a kitchen table. These days it’s a community staple that lures around 1,000 children to its signature parade and even more to a weekend of celebrations held at Waterfront Park.

‘‘

IT HAS GROWN A LOT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. Borothee Birker

“It has grown a lot over the last couple of years,” said event co-ordinator Dorothee Birker. “A few years ago the board of directors decided to hold it during the school year so we can have schools go… it’s a different experience with a peer group. They come in and they’re happy to be on a field trip and happy to be in the sunshine and with their classmates they participate in all sorts of things.” Whether it’s musical performances, crafts or just watching for the larger than life cat to wander through the festivities, the June 11 and 12 event turns the downtown into a massive kid-friendly, playground of sorts. While it used to be the only show in town when it came to children’s festivals, Fat Cat can now boast something equally unique. It’s the first festival that generations of locals have enjoyed. t For Fat Cat volunteer tChrystal Myers, the memories of going to the festival are still very vivid, and with those in mind she now takes her daughter to the event. “My mom, my sister and I all went to the first

couple of Fat Cat festivals together,” she said, recalling some of the crafts she made at the events. “I remember it really fondly…it was really sim-

ple, and fun.” To this day, the childoriented event still carries with it a simplicity that is compelling to young people. That’s part of the rea-

son why Myers gives at least 50 hours a year, for the last four years to help promote the event by designing its posters, tickets and promo cards.

And Myers is not the only person who grew up with the festival, and now helps it get underway each year, said Birker, noting numerous longtime Kel-

owna residents take part in the event, though there is room for more. Fat Cat is always in need of more volunteers, so to get in on the action

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.

Kelowna General Hospital’s orthopedics department could use the support of past patients and their families this weekend. The 19th annual Stride With Pride Orthopedics Walk will take place Sunday to raise money for special equipment needs and ongoing training and education for physicians and nurses who specialize in orthopedic care at Kelowna General Hospital. The orthopedics walk is scheduled to start at noon June 6 at the Water Street Seniors’ Centre. Registration opens at 10:30. Registration is $20, including the cost of an event T-shirt. Participants will walk for one-kilometre around the Delta Grand Hotel along the boardwalk. Entertainment, food and door prizes are available to participants in the walk. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Steven Krywaluk, who has been involved

with the walk for the past six years, said the event has raised $600,000 in the past 18 years. The goal this year is to raise a further $50,000, he stated. “All funds raised at this event are kept locally in Kelowna and used to support patient care and education,” said Krywaluk.

‘‘

WE NEED TO RAISE THIS EXTRA MONEY TO GET THE EQUIPMENT THAT WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE.

“Patients who have had hip and knee replacements and their families are encouraged to come out and celebrate their mobility.” Stride With Pride chairman Gordy Leverington said became involved in the walk for 11 years, five of those years

as chairman. Levertington said he joined the cause after having both his knees replaced and coming to realize that many equipment purchases for the orthopedics department and for orthopedic surgeries at KGH wouldn’t be possible without funds raised through Stride With Pride. “We need to raise this extra money to get the equipment that will improve the quality of life of patients after they’ve had orthopedic surgery.” Leverington said the specialized equipment isn’t cheap and the walk could use all the support it could get this year from participants and corporate sponsors. “This year’s goal may be $50,000, but with the cost of equipment these days it doesn’t take much equipment to go through that money,” Leverington stated.

Bones no mystery after all

Council looking for dog dip spot

Kathy Michaels

Kelowna city council will be looking at the possibility of building a “doggie dip,” in a study aimed at providing for fido’s needs. Earlier this week, council officially decided to look at whether another dog park, with water features, could be set up to accommodate pooches who like to beat the heat, without blowing taxpayer dollars on waterfront property. Waterfront dog parks have caused much controversy in Kelowna with dog owners asking for more space to play and neighbours complaining they create parking issues in their wealthy neighbourhoods.

STAFF REPORTER

Macabre excitement over a pile of bones buried at a Westbank construction site was largely for naught. “We are able to confirm that the remains are non-human,” said Bruce Chamberlayne, regional coroner. “So they could be animal remains…possibly a deer.” Mounties released word that the remains appeared to be human and an anthropologist was being dispatched to suss out whether or not they were

part of an ancient burial site on Tuesday. Before the reports had come back, however, a representative from the Westbank First Nation indicated they were sure the remains were “ancestral.” “We, as a community, are dealing with the archaeology and research aspects of this discovery and at the right point in time we will consider issuing a press release with further details,” said WFN representative Kristy Jean. While it may seem odd that animal and human bones could be mistaken for one another,

Chamberlayne said that’s not the case. “We have remains reported to us many days of the year, in all kinds of places, so it’s our responsibility to find out what they are,” he said. “It’s not easy, a specialist needs to be able to examine the remains and make a conclusion.” The bones were reported to police Monday, at a residential construction site at Elk and Cougar Roads after an equipment operator unearthed them.

“So what do we possibly do to get more water parks?” asked newer Coun. Charlie Hodge, who said he too is a dog owner looking for water space. According to Interior Health, people and dogs cannot intermingle in the water for water quality reasons, so opening up a swimming beach to dogs, would mean taking one away from swimmers, he was told. The only waterfront dog park is at Cedar Creek, at the far end of Lakeshore Road, so city staff will look into how a water feature could be added into regular park space as a

compromise. City staff will also be investigating where dog owners will take their best friends when Central Green is finished. The city-sponsored development will push dog owners off the former Kelowna Secondary School site come 2012, leaving those in the downtown neighbourhood looking for more space to play. The meeting also saw the Knox Mountain off-leash dog run officially enshrined in the books as a dog park. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

New charges in pepper spray hold up case Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

Additional charges have been laid against a man accused of trying to hold up Kelowna businesses with pepper spray. Steven Alan Ludbrook, 27, was initially charged with one count of robbery following his May 7 arrest for a holdup at Brandt’s Creek liquor store involving pepper spray on the evening of May 3. Now, court records show he had been charged with robbery and attempted robbery in connection to a pair of incidents that happened a few hours before his arrest. Just after 12:30 a.m. on May 7, a man entered the Domino’s Pizza on Sutherland Avenue and demanded cash. Po-

lice say the suspect had either bear or pepper spray at the time of the alleged robbery. The employee refused to comply with the suspect’s demands, and police say the suspect got no money. Approximately an hour later, the Mac’s convenience store on Glenmore Road also was the site of a robbery attempt by a man who produced bear or pepper spray. No money was obtained, police say. At 4 a.m. on May 7, Ludbrook was arrested, police say. He made his second court appearance on the new charges on Tuesday, and remains in custody pending his next appearance on all three charges on June 8. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

A perfect time to head outdoors

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

SPRING WEATHER is perfect for hiking, riding, fishing and other outdoors activities, so get out and enjoy the wild.

ain drumming on the roof over my head has been a joyful feature of the past few weeks, after dire concerns about drought this summer. Those have been reduced somewhat with the extra rain in May, and June tends to be our wettest month of the year, so we may be in better shape than at first forecast for this summer, thank goodness. Spring weather is perfect for hiking and cycling and enjoying the outdoors, but be prepared with layers of clothing in case of a change in the weather. In particular, carry a light, waterproof jacket with a hood in case of a quick shower, but don’t overdress because that sun can be pretty warm,

Families interested in providing their youngsters with the basics about fishing are invited to join members of the Peachland Sportsman’s Association at Shannon Lake Regional Park on Father’s Day, June 20. There’ll be a free barbecue put on by volunteers from the PSA and

experts to guide those under 16 interested in learning how to fish, in a cove of the lake that has been stocked with trout. The lake itself has also been stocked. The Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan are holding a fundraiser for trail maintenance and club events such as the upcoming bike park opening, called the Kelowna Cycle Super D race, a fun downhill bike event, June 13 in Myra Bellevue Provincial Park. It will begin at 9 a.m. with the mandatory prerace safety meeting and conclude in the afternoon with a barbecue. Sign up at Kelowna Cycle or download entry forms and waiver from the club website (mtbco.ca) print them off and bring them with your fees.

or the first time, there are more seniors than schoolaged children in B.C. With the proportion of seniors in our population increasing, there are many new challenges to overcome to meet their needs and help seniors maintain a high standard of living. One such challenge is housing. Seniors can have special needs that must be met by their home environment. Many seniors look to downsize their homes and move to a place that will address the mobility, dexterity and accessibility concerns they face. Here in Kelowna, Chaparral Industries make custom modular homes. I recently met with an owner and toured its production facility. I’m convinced it can play a role in creating affordable options for seniors who want to live independently. Chaparral operates a streamlined process to build houses and sell directly to the consumer. This keeps costs low. It operates with a standardized process but that does not mean its houses are cookie-cutter products. Chaparral works with its clients to meet their unique needs. While touring Chaparral, I saw a sample house designed to meet the needs of some seniors. It was wheelchair-accessible, the door handles were easy to operate for those with reduced dexterity and the shower was easily accessible. Homes

Ben Stewart like this can be built or outfitted to work for whoever will live there. Seniors currently benefit from a variety of government programs that help make housing options affordable. The Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) program offers monthly payments to help seniors with financial difficulties pay for their housing. Modular houses can be more affordable than regular housing, while still offering a high standard of living. In many parts of B.C. affordable housing and seniors’ housing are at a premium and costs can be high. Modular houses create liveable and high quality homes without promoting sprawl. There is an opportunity to establish more seniors’ housing to meet the continuously growing needs of our aging population. If you are interested in more information about the SAFER program, go to www.bchousing.org/ programs/SAFER Ben Stewart is the Liberal MLA for Westside-Kelowna.

Reasons to go to your graduation

o you finally completed your program and now you can’t decide whether or not to attend your graduation ceremony. Some people want you to go, others couldn’t care less and right now you’re sitting on the fence. The big question to ask is what you would miss if you didn’t go. Being a strong proponent of attending graduation ceremonies, let me give the reasons why it’s important to celebrate your achievement. First, it’s great to give you parents the opportunity to celebrate your success. Wow, you are finally graduating from college and the chances of you moving out of the house have just increased by 50 per cent. Second, how often do you get to blow your own horn? Let’s face it, in today’s society it isn’t always acceptable to say “look at me! Aren’t I great?” But the date of your graduation ceremony is one of those days you can get away with that smug attitude. Yes you did it, and yes you deserve as much praise as you can get. I suggest you milk this one for what it’s

MARKUS THIEL’S COLUMN WILL RETURN SOON

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens worth—plus who knows what kind of gifts or free dinners your family will give you. Third, if you have children, young or old, your achievement tells them if you can do it so can they. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing an adult go on stage, receive their degree and have their children yell out “way to go Dad.” Or watch mom give the student address while her children sit in the audience listening to her describe how important it was for her to go back to school not just for her-

self but for her children as well. Fourth, graduating from college or university is something you might do only once in your life. Most people complete one post-secondary credential, a few complete two, but usually no more than three. So you’re looking at most to three days in your lifetime devoted to celebrating your educational achievements—life is too short not to give yourself the memories of graduation. And finally, you get to wear a black robe, with a funny hat (called a mortar board) and, depending on your credential, some kind of colourful cape (called a hood). How often in your life will you be able to get dressed up in the same outfit as your classmates and another 200 people who also went to

your school. This is group bonding at its highest level. Plus people actually want to have their photo taken with you in your graduation gown. Deciding whether or not to go to your graduation ceremony really isn’t just about you. It’s about sharing your success with all those people out there that supported you either financially or emotionally as you struggled through the ups and downs of being a student. They were the people who were there for you when you struggled with an assignment, doubted your ability to succeed and thought about giving up. They too need to witness you celebrate the completion of your journey—because in some ways they were there too. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College.

lthough we’ve had a name for the disease for more than a century, there is still a lot to be learned about what causes Alzheimer’s, as well as how to prevent and treat it. A recent report put out by the National Institute of Health in the U.S. was pretty pessimistic about our level of understanding of this devastating condition. Roughly 500,000 Canadians currently live with Alzheimer’s disease. According to Alzheimer Society, more than 103,000 Canadians will develop the condition this year and the numbers continue to rise as our population ages. It currently accounts for 63 per cent of all cases of dementia in Canada. Unfortunately, although the report (Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease and Cognitive Decline) examined relevant studies on nutrition, medical conditions, medication, social, economic, behavioural, environmental and genetic factors, it found the science is inconclusive as to the caus-

es of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Not only do we not know what causes Alzheimer’s, we also have no reliable evidence to show that anything can prevent it or stop it from progressing. Report authors examined available data from studies performed on humans aged 50 or older in developed countries. They limited their examination to studies with a sample size of at least 50 and of at least 300 for observational studies, and they required a minimum study duration of one year. The authors concluded we have no valid evidence to suggest that anything we currently do— nutritional supplements, herbal preparations, dietary factors, prescription or non-prescription medication, social or economic factors, medical conditions, toxins or environmental factors—will reduce the risk of a person developing Alzheimer’s disease. We do know that the presence of a particular DNA variation (apolipoprotein E) is strongly

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer linked to Alzheimer’s— but this is not something we can do anything about. Some weak data exists to suggest certain things can increase our risk of developing Alzheimer’s. These include diabetes, elevated blood cholesterol during midlife, depression, smoking, loss of a spouse, never being married or having a limited social support system. A new study published in early May in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society has found a strong correlation between caring for a spouse with dementia and developing the condition. Caring spouses have six times the likelihood of developing dementia themselves. It is unknown why this is the case—whether it is due to the intense stress of caring for a loved one or whether it is relat-

ed to the couple’s shared environment or lifestyle. Weak data also supports a few factors which may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. These include enough folic acid; a diet low in saturated fats and high in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, fish and olive oil; use of statins; consumption of alcohol in moderate amount; more years of education; mental engagement and physical activity. Some evidence also suggests omega-3 fatty acids can prevent cognitive decline (but not necessarily Alzheimer’s). Several studies show the omega 3 fatty acids from eating fish reduce risk, but another study found fish oil supplements did not help. All in all, the report’s authors said there are currently no studies to confirm people can ward off Alzheimer’s. Even current treatments such as donepezil (Aricept), cannot prevent the disease.

Turek back with Sun Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR

ALL-CANADIAN receiver Dan Turek will be back with the Sun for the 2010 B.C. Football Conference season.

One of Canadian junior football’s deadliest duos will be together again after all. Receiver Dan Turek has decided to return to the Okanagan Sun for the 2010 campaign rather than attend the University of Manitoba. It means opposing B.C. Football Conference teams will have the unenviable task of contending with both Turek and fellow all-Canadian receiver Matt Scheurwater. “It’s huge to get Danny back again,” said Sun head coach Peter McCall. “He decided early on he was going to move on, but my response to him was that the door is always open. I think he realized what a great place this is to play football. To have him and Matt on the same field again is massive for us.” Turek had originally

intended on playing this season with the U of M Bisons in his hometown of Winnipeg, but chose to delay his university education and return to the Okanagan for at least one more season. Turek also plans to take a some classes this fall at Okanagan College and make use of the Sun’s scholarship program. He admits a visit to Kelowna last weekend likely played a major role in his decision to return. “The Okanagan Sun is a premier organization, I love playing there and in that city,” said Turek, 19. “I was back there for a touch football tournament (last) weekend and started to think about what I was missing. “I’m going to go to college here as well as play football, work hard and see where it takes us,” Turek added. Turek has been an impact player for the Sun from the moment he

stepped on the field in 2008. In two seasons, the sure-handed 6-foot-3 175 pounder has 76 catches for 1,599 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was the BCFC rookie of the year in 2008, and last season was an allCanadian while leading the conference in receiving yards with 914. Playing alongside Scheurwater once again— the Sun’s all-time leading receiver—is an exciting prospect for Turek. “I can’t wait,” Turek said. “(Matt) definitely showed me the ropes and taught me a lot about the game. There is a lot more to learn for the two of us, but it’s not going to be just us. It’s right across the board, we have a lot of good receivers so it’s going to be a really good year for us.” Turek and the Sun will open the 2010 edition of their main training camp July 5. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

▼ HIGH SCHOOL GOLF

Oelrich the B.C. champ, Owls finish in 4th place Jordan Oelrich persevered through pouring rain and heartbreak for his Kelowna Owls teammates to win the 2010 B.C. high school AAA golf championship. The Grade 12 student at KSS carded a twoday score of 141 (69-72) to edge Salmon Arm’s Kowan O’Keefe by one shot to capture the provincial title Wednesday at Shuswap Lakes. A scoring error for the Owls on opening day led

Jordan Oelrich to a fourth-place showing in team competition, instead of a potential first

overall finish. Still, Owls assistant coach Tony Sodaro said nothing could detract from Oelrich’s performance. “It was unbelievable the way Jordan played,” said Sodaro, who assists head coach Cliff Shiskin with the Owls golf team. “In the last month, he’s really grown as a player. He’s been sort of a quiet leader and keeps the guys calm and cool.” The Owls two-day team score of 603 was

nine shots back of the champions from Salmon Arm (594). The other KSS team members are Charlie Lewthwaite, Blake Culbert, Brandon Ortiz and Dylan Bond. Kelowna’s final total could have been much lower if not for a scoring error on Tuesday. One of Charlie Lewthwaite’s playing partners recorded the wrong score on his card for the 16th hole. Before Lewthwaite

caught the mistake, his score went up on the board as a 75 instead of a 76. He voluntarily pointed out the error and his first round score was disqualified. Because of the inaccuracy, the Owls had to use Dylan Bond’s round of 90 instead of Charlie Lewthwaite’s 76, a difference of 14 strokes. Lewthwaite came out and fired a 73 on the second day to help the Owls climb into

fourth spot. Sodaro said Lewthwaite’s actions at provincials should be commended. “Charlie showed an amazing amount of integrity by going to the officials and owning up to the mistake,” said Sodaro. “He showed great sportsmanship and plays the game the way it’s meant to be played. Then to come out and play so well for us in the second round after what happened…we couldn’t be

any prouder of him.” Head coach Cliff Shiskin echoed Sodaro’s sentiments, crediting the entire Owls team for a gutsy performance. “For the guys to come back so strong after the heartbreak of the first day was something to see,” said Shiskin. “Sure, we could have won it all, but it was still a great effort by all the boys.” whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Falcons loaded with Div. 1 talent Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTERS

With a roster stocked entirely of NCAA Division 1 players from highly-regarded baseball schools, expect the Kelowna Falcons to be a force in the West Coast League this season. At least that’s the hope of Falcons GM Mark Nonis. “On paper, I’d say it’s one of the strongest teams we’ve ever had,” said Nonis. “We feel like it’s going to be an all-around team, a well-rounded lineup. We have mostly West Coast guys this year, too, tso you’re going to see a more ‘West Coast’ style of ball. Hit and run, bunting, stealing…a little of everything. It should be an exciting team to watch.” The Falcons kick off the 2010 campaign on the road this weekend with a three-games series in Bellingham, Wash. Nonis expects about f21 of the 32 roster players to be available for the season opener as many of the remaining players will t

trickle in from their respective schools over the next couple of weeks. New Mexico State, University of Arizona, Washington State, Oklahoma State, and the University of San Diego are just a few of the big-time schools represented on the Falcons roster. Among the club’s top prospects are a pair of Canadians—Langley’s Joel Blake and Jesse Sawyer from Calgary—who both play at South Dakota State University. Blake hit .394 with eight home runs, 33 doubles and 66 RBIs this spring, while Sawyer smacked out a school-record 19 home runs along with 68 RBIs and a .361 average. On the mound, the Falcons will feature a

bona fide closer in South Dakota’s Trever Vermuelen, who led the NCAA with the best ERA in 2010 (1.12) Kevin Frady, back for his third season as head coach of the Falcons, likes the make-up of the entirely new and revamped roster from last season. “We went out and tried to find the best players possible,” said Frady. “We have 16 pitchers on the roster so we’re definitely focusing on that. We also tried to make sure we have plenty of solid bats and good speed. I’m looking for this group to mesh quickly and go on to challenge for a league title.” Under Frady, the Falcons went 24-24 last season and reached the WCL’s East Division final before losing to the Wenatchee Apple Sox. The Falcons 2010 home opener is slated for Friday, June 11 at Elks Stadium against Walla Walla. In keeping with tradition, the Falcons will be offering free admission. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Manning all-night retail takes courage

t a Kelowna gas station late on a Friday evening, the store remains brightly lit. But the doors are locked firmly shut. Behind the glass, the clerk sells cigarettes and snacks to anyone roaming after midnight by way of a speaker and a metal transfer drawer. The old man inside the store points out he would not stand a chance against some of his clientele, should they decide to pull a weapon and threaten his life for

smokes or cash. His worries are not unfounded. During a few days in early May alone, a single man is believed to have tried to rob a liquor store, a restaurant and a convenience store in town. Unfortunately for the people who work late nights and long hours for little pay, the risk of being robbed is ever-present. The man who allegedly went on a spree with a can of bear or pepper spray is far from alone. Kelowna court dockets are fre-

quently populated by would-be stick-up artists. In the past year, sandwich shops, gas stations, liquor stores, a breakfast restaurant, a thrift store and two banks have all been the victims of criminals demanding money and threatening staff. One sterling example of humanity apparently brandished a knife at a 73-year-old woman. Should businesses be staying open as late as they do? It seems unlikely the profits gained

from a few chance customers during the hours of darkness outweigh the losses caused by more unwelcome visitors. But to close your doors out of fear is to give in. Our police attempt to ride herd on the sector of our community that feels they have the right to take from others. But the real heroes are those who brave the night to eke out a living and make sure gas, a sandwich or a smoke are available to those who need them.

A tale of two local governments: Bigger to bloated

ust over a year ago, a new kind of local government sprang to life in B.C. It’s likely you haven’t heard of the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, although it is three times the size of Metro Vancouver and occupies one tenth of the entire province. It was formed in February 2009 when the town of Fort Nelson merged with the adjacent regional district, taking in much of the vast northeast of B.C. Northern Rockies is run by a seven-member council, led currently by Mayor Bill Streeper, directing one chief administrative officer and staff. At the same time B.C.’s first regional municipality was formed, the

Victoria-based business magazine, Douglas, came out with a simple bar graph to illustrate the situation in Greater Victoria, also known as the Capital Regional District. The only comment was the headline: Is More Government Better Government? The graph is striking. It shows that Vancouver has 27 local politicians to serve a population of just over 600,000, and Calgary manages more than one million people with just 22 elected officials.

Greater Victoria, population 364,121 at the time, soars to the top of the graph with 136 local politicians. This is almost exactly twice as many as ToTom ronto (population 2.5 Fletcher million) and includes 14 mayors, which means 14 administrators and a profusion of senior staff. Northern Rockies obviously has few people compared to its southwestern cousin, but don’t assume there’s nothing going on there. In the planning or construction phase are a recreation centre, public safety build-

VICTORIA VIEWS

ing, industrial park, arterial roads and an aquatic centre-convention facility, as well as housing expansion to serve a growing workforce. Northern Rockies has signed a wide-ranging agreement with the Fort Nelson First Nation that requires the two councils to work together on social, environmental and industrial matters. Its most prominent industrial matter is the Horn River shale, a gigantic natural gas resource that grows in value as the oil slick blooms in the Gulf of Mexico. Development involves pipelines and a large new gas plant in the works near Fort Nelson. Mayor Streeper is looking at the

bigger picture, including a liquefied natural gas export facility proposed near Kitimat and investment from South Korea in pipeline infrastructure so it can import gas. A 2007 “community needs assessment” found that Northern Rockies needs another $134 million beyond its existing tax base and grants to complete its community development plans, and the council is building a plan to achieve that. Greater Victoria also has a vast hinterland, extending up the west side of Vancouver Island to Port Renfrew. This region has its own rich industrial history, symbolized by crumbling old See Fletcher A21

â&#x2013;ź ALR USE

RV parks will change character of country To the editor: Further to the article: RVs Parked On Farmland Raise Conflict, in the Friday May 21 issue of the Capital News. This issue definitely needs to be brought forward as it has been a concern of many rural area residents and taxpayers for some time. As a rural resident I am all for the farming community having the right to farm and to keep our area productive and a viable agricultural area. However, augmenting the revenue fas an owner of ALR land (whether you farm it personally or lease your pasture or orchard) by becoming a landlord is not within the intent or spirit of the sleeping unit ALR regulations at all. For the City of Kelowna to create a legal loophole in ALR land use by way of a bylaw allowing for this is unacceptable. This is most definitely changing the area and ambiance of where we as residents call home and creating eyesores on our pristine orural areas. I definitely oppose this and have for quite some time. It is not only because of such issues as the sanitation problems but also increase to all ser-

vices to the property and surrounding areas including and not limited to garbage collection, street maintenance and repair, electricity, water, fire and traffic concerns, all of which we pay hefty taxes for to live in a rural area. ALR representatives have told me up to 10 sleeping units are permissible on ALR land. I would think the seasonal use spoken to and contained in a recent correspondence between myself and a rep of the ALR was intended as farm help accommodation during the grape, cherry or apple season. I am surprised that there appears to be two mindsets on this interpretation on intent at the ALR level, however, as one inspector told me: 30 day agri-tourism stays on active farm, leased or not, and the current inspector seems to interpret it as seasonal but clearly does not define what is seasonal to him. He also has failed to respond on who is responsible for the enforcement of these operations. These lands are, after all, ALR designated for the most part and owners have always had to make application to the provincial government to be released prior to operating outside of the business of agriculture. The city does not have control, they are part of the re-

ferral process but that is where the input of local government is ended. These lands are also outside of the OCP control and process so if the city is going to take control of ALR land use by way of a bylaw I would think there would need to be an amendment to the Act and Regs governing ALR to accommodate for this, not a public hearing. I do not intend to let this quietly slip through the cracks, changing my lifestyle and rural area any further. There are many, many other agri-tourism business models that work to supplement farm income that do not change the community or atmosphere of the rural lifestyle. Allowing month to month tenancy in trailers does not fit within the term agri-tourism or tourism at all and simply should not be allowed. I am sure a review of the city files on this project would show there was and has been concern about this issue for a long time. Please advise when the public hearing will be as I will attend if at all possible. Darlene Green, Kelowna

No place for dogs to whet their whistle makes for very anxious dog owners there is a trickle of orange/ brown water coming from the plant to the lake. It is also a long drive for everyone except for the Okanagan Mission residents. As for the off-leash dog parks on Knox Mountain and the former Kelowna secondary school groundsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you will not likely see many dogs there soon as there is no drinking water. And, yes, Kelowna South will require a replacement off-leash dog park when KSS is developed but, please include a water tap. A few years ago I was told by the city parks department that the lake access dog park at Sutherland Park closed to dogs

because the neighbours complained about the dogs barkingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not because of the lack of parking. Many were taking their dogs past Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tomb to go swimming until I heard $75 fines were being handed out. My lab is in excellent health but very high energy. Even in late spring and early fall, 10 or 15 minutes of running (without water) is all he can take or he will collapse. I know a lot of other dogs are the same and it would be interesting to find from the Kelowna vets how many dogs they see from heat exhaustion each year. Whose idea was it to make the little park below

Knox Mountain on-leash only? At least ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s could take their dogs across the road to the lake there. When I read about the city purchase of the La Mission motel I thought that if the Mission Creek Greenway is to be extended to the lake, the lakeshore could be an offleash dog park? Just close the dog park during the kokanee spawning period. I had suggested to the parks department that a part of Mission Creek be fenced for dog water access, again, closing it during the spawning period, but was told this is a regional park. Charlie, thank-you for your continued voice

and I sincerely hope you make it a very loud voice. For now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to concede with many of the other Kelowna dog owners and just sneak my dog to the lake for an illegal swim. I live two blocks from the lake and in the summer early mornings we walk to the lake and Mickey swims and retrieves the ball about four or five times. Now cooled down and back on-leash we go for a walk. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received a ticket yet but, if you hear about a dog owner bringing her dog to the courthouseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that would be me. Sharon Whiting, Kelowna

This run-down goat trail is finally paved all the way, a surge of progress that is apparently viewed with alarm by MLA John Horgan and various local politicians. Near Jordan River I viewed a partially completed subdivision of oneacre lots. It was approved by the Capital Regional District, and then stopped half-built when officials finally checked their own records that showed by-

CATO students to auction off their work Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

“I like to capture moments,” explains Blaine Caldwell, as she describes the work she’s hoping to do as a professional photographer. The Centre for Arts and Technology digital photography student has got a few examples kicking about—like a shot of her 4 1/2-year old daughter with her same-aged male best friend, him grabbing her butt. At this point, though, most of her career arc is still more of a vision in her head than shots she can show on paper. “I read a story about young girls in the sex trade in Kosov and ever since then I’ve been trying to find a way in my mind to stop it with my work,” she says. Whether this eventually leads to a career overseas in photojournalism or whether she winds up tackling social issues in her own backyard, Caldwell feels she’s got enough of a base to get outside and start ply-

And you could be one of the first to own one of her shots. This Saturday, Caldwell and six of her classmates are auctioning off their favourite artistic shots in a show designed to highlight the natural beauty of this province while raising money to support other artists in need. “It’s designed to give back,” said Allana Mason,

a 26-year-old classmate from Grand Prairie who is specializing in wedding and family photography. The students say they are aware the arts have suffered severe funding cuts this year and would like to support future artistic endeavors in Kelowna with a donation to the Central Okanagan Foundation. They’re hoping each picture will fetch $200 or more at auction for a total donation of $1,400-plus.

Whether they reach their fundraising target or not, their work will be on display for everyone to see in the Rotary Arts Centre for the rest of June. The photography program at CATO teaches basic business skills to help these budding artists secure a place in the competitive world of professional photography. Most of this year’s class is interested in doing private work for hire—weddings, family photo shoots, capturing people in their element—though not all will be staying in the area.

Mason, for example, plans on returning to Grand Prairie where she has a family network to support her; and the youngest class member, 19-year-old Kaylyn Leanne plans to schedule multi-week sessions in Winnipeg, where she’s originally from. The auction and show, Pure, Bold, Alive: Photographic Perspectives on British Columbia, run Saturday June 5 at 7 p.m. at the RCA.

▼ VOLUNTEER CENTRE

Firing a volunteer and being fired

olunteering is about fitting a person’s passion, skills, experience and commitment to the mission, needs and personality of an organization. And yes, an organization has a personality too. As in any relationship, there will be good days and not so good days when volunteering. The application, screening and orientation process is about communication. Will the fit will be productive? Ongoing supervision that includes two-way communication, decision making, feedback and conflict resolution ensure a positive relationship. Organizations are wise to discuss progressive discipline policies and procedures during volunteer training, including situations resulting in immediate dismissal, such as breach of confidentiality. Progressive discipline typically involves communicating a verbal warning, a written warning, a disciplinary suspension, and possibly a dismissal. Progressive discipline is appropriate for behaviour that can be improved. All evaluations and disciplinary actions must be factually recorded in the volunteer’s file. If it is anticipated that the volunteer might react violently or with legal action, conduct the dismissal meeting in a private

setting with an observer. This announcement is to deliver your decision—not for discussing the situation—so be direct and absolute; no beating around the bush. Followup with a letter reiterating the decision and any departure details, and inform staff/board/other volunteers/clients involved that the volunteer is no longer with the organization. For the volunteer, it is important to name and validate your feelings. Focus on what you learned and avoid the blame game. Reconsider what you want to get out of volunteering. What type of roles, work styles and supervision suits you best? In future, ask pointed questions during the intake interview to learn specifically whether this organization offers what you want. Practice “I” statements to be assertive. Many local organizations value the compassionate people who volunteer their time, talent and treasure the benefits brought to their programs or services. A good fit and positive volunteering experiences are the norm. Dawn Wilkinson is the coordinator for the Community Information and Volunteer Centre. 250-763-8008, ext 24 www.kcr.cav

Bevy of pre-summer feel-good movies at local theatres

ast week’s column proved how much of a guy I am. When writing about Sex and the City 2, I erroneously said the city the women go to was Dubai. It was actually Abu Dhabi. The reason why I got the two United Arab Emirate cities mixed up was simple: I knew that they went to Abu Dhabi; however, my brain automatically changed it to Dubai because that is where the high profile annual Desert Classic golf tournament is held. I am a guy—guilty as charged. (And I apologize to anyone from the Emirates because I am sure mixing up the two cities is like someone calling Toronto the capital of Canada.) Katherine Heigl stars in the action-comedy Killers in which she plays a heartbroken woman reluctantly joining her parents on a vacation to the

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis French Rivera. There she meets the man of her dreams (Ashton Kutcher) and they are soon married. However, the honeymoon is over when she discovers there is a contract out for their lives because he is secretly a CIA agent. The story is very familiar, but I am hoping the chemistry between the two leads and supporting characters, played by Tom Selleck, Catherine O’Hara, Rob Riggle and Martin Mull, can make this a minor hit. Speaking of familiar, 20th Century Fox hopes to strike gold by combining two past success-

It has already had hits adapting the comic strip Garfield and making the mischievous dog movie Marley and Me, starring Owen Wilson. The next logical step is to adapt the comic strip about the Great Dane Marmaduke

and give him the voice of Wilson. I do not think there will be many adults seeing this one without the kids, but, to be fair, I did laugh a few times watching the preview. It features a great voice cast includ-

ing George Lopez, Sam Elliot, Fergie and Kiefer Sutherland and having live actors Judy Greer and William H. Macy does not hurt either. Two years ago, Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a sleeper hit. Now,

two of the actors and one of the characters are being spun-off into their own movie. In Get Him to the Greek, Russell Brand reprises his role of rock star Aldous Snow, whose career is in ruins resulting in him falling off the wagon. Jonah Hill, who played a waiter in the first movie, returns in a new role as an idealistic young college graduate working as an intern at Capitol Records, who must try to get the drug-addled Snow from London to Los Angeles for a comeback concert at the famous Greek Theatre. Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is said to be a

standout in the movie as a music industry executive. Finally, I almost wrote off the sci-fi horror movie Splice, even though it starred Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley, because it looked like just another cautionary tale about playing with genetics. But then I saw it was produced by Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) and was from the director of the cult classic, Cube, making it a must-see for fans of the genre.

taste in the mouth, which are tell-tale symptoms. Heartburn is a symptom of a condition in which stomach acid or occasionally bile flows back into the esophagus. This constant backwash or reflux can irritate the lining of the food pipe and cause inflammation, and lead to further problems such as ulcers and constricting of the esophagus. Many people manage the discomfort of heartburn with over-thecounter remedies, which may offer temporary or only partial relief. For more severe GERD, prescription medications or even surgery may be recommended, and new alternative treatments are being developed. GERD occurs when the muscle that holds the esophagus closed where it meets the stomach relaxes abnormally or weakens, allowing stomach acid to flow up into the esophagus. GERD can also be caused by anything that puts extra pressure on the

stomach and diaphragm, such as a hernia, obesity, or pregnancy. GERD commonly develops in people who have diabetes, and there is also a link between GERD and asthma sufferers. Certain foods can aggravate GERD such as fatty or spicy foods, chocolate, caffeine, onions, tomato sauce, carbonated beverages, mint and alcohol. Eating large meals or lying down soon after eating can also aggravate GERD, as can taking certain medications. Smoking may also aggravate GERD. Eating smaller meals, wearing clothes that do not constrict the abdomen, and eliminating heartburn triggers, such as certain foods, can help to reduce this condition. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), GERD is seen as a liver and stomach function disorder. The condition may worsen in the spring, when the liver is most active, or with emotional upset, which aggravates the stomach. Convention-

NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman al medicine often does not make the connection between the liver and the stomach, and therefore treatment often focuses solely on treating the stomach, which may help alleviate the symptoms but not the root cause. In Chinese medicine, the liver and stomach are very closely related, with the liver helping to regulate the stomach and keep it in balance if it becomes too excessive or unbalanced. If the liver is not functioning properly, it can cause problems in the stomach. One of these problems is the disruption of the flow of stomach energy, which normally moves in a downward direction. When the stomach energy is pushed upwards, acid reflux is the

result. Acupuncture treatment balances the function of the liver and the stomach, so that these organs work in harmony again. To support a healthy balance between the liver and stomach, healthy eating habits are important, as are finding ways to manage stress and emotions. Because the liver is very closely tied to our emotions, prolonged anger, stress, frustration, or emotional upset can cause the liver to become unbalanced and interfere with its ability to do its job properly. Bringing it back into balance will see many symptoms resolving without the need for medications or other interventions. As with many conditions, acupuncture can give positive results to heartburn sufferers, in a gentle and non-invasive way.

Strong Camaro sales buoy spirits at GM’s Oshawa plant GM plant goes full out to meet demand for sporty coupe. Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

Few industry watchers would have predicted General Motors would be able to repay its loans to the U.S. and Canadian governments as quickly as they have. In fact, many taxpayers were dead-set against the loans, thinking it was throwing good tax money after bad to prop up what was once the biggest and most successful automotive company in the world that was then heading for bankruptcy in early 2009. It’s now only one year later and General Motors is still in the midst of downsizing and stream-

lining its operations. But on the economic side of the ledger, things are much rosier as the firm has announced its first quarterly profit in years. It’s all a result of cost cutting, streamlining operations and divesting assets combined with the huge success of a few of their remaining models, many of them built right here in Canada. Among the brightest lights at the present time is the sporty Chevrolet Camaro coupe, built in Oshawa, Ont. on a new flexible assembly line that is capable of handling as many as five models at the same time. On a different line, but in the same Oshawa plant, GM also builds the successful Impala sedan. Sales of the Impala

THE INTERIOR of this Camaro begins to take shape under the skilled hands of Oshawa assembly plant employees.

GM goes full out to meet demand for coupe

GM from B1 are going so well that the company is adding a third shift later this year to meet demand. Next spring, the new Buick Regal model will also start coming down the line in Oshawa. And down the road in Ingersoll, Ont. the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain crossovers are also going gangbusters. In fact,

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing so well, that GM is moving some of its production capacity to Oshawa to help ease the load. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all great news for Canadian taxpayers because of the loan repayments and even better news for the folks in Oshawa, who have been struggling since the closure of the GM truck plant last September and the loss of

hundreds of jobs. But in Oshawa these days, things are surely looking up. And while it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell in the same numbers as the Impala, clearly the star of the show is the sporty Camaro coupe, which is being joined by a convertible model early next year. While he would dearly love some time to catch his breath, Oshawa plant

manager Dan Hermer says the success of the re-launched Camaro has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesome.â&#x20AC;? Typically, sales of vehicles like the Camaro begin to slow down after a quick start, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sign of things tailing off any time soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going wide open,â&#x20AC;? said Hermer, during a recent media tour of the assembly plant, which churns out 440 Camaros a day along with 770 Impalas. That translates to 133,488 Impalas and 82,185 Camaros during calendar year 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, the exterior design (of the Camaro) is beautiful in the eyes of most. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a full year of them out there... our customers tell us these vehicles are rock-solid.â&#x20AC;? More than 800 hourly and 100 salaried employees per shift help produce the 2010 Camaro, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pony carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with roots back to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s. Back then, there was the pony car war as the Camaro went head-tohead with the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. Things havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed very much today as the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger are again competing against each other. While the Mustang has been around ever since 1965, the Camaro and Challenger have been resurrected as new models in recent years. General Motors looks to the Mustang as the Camaroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief rival and executives have to be pleased with the sales figures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing very well versus the Mustang in sales,â&#x20AC;? said Hermer, noting the plant has built about 120,000 Camaros since it was launched as a 2010 model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continue to sell everything we can build,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Journey makes sense of its size Jim Robinson

ing this, there are a number of incentives available so make sure you check the www.dodge.ca website. Examples are the SE Canada Value model at $18,745 at one end and the R/T at $27,395 at the other end. While the SE is considered entry level, it comes standard with fourwheel disc brakes with ABS, Electronic Stability Control with integrated traction control, Electronic Brake Assist, Electronic Rollover Mitigation and Trailer Sway Control. Also standard is fourwheel independent suspension, 40/60 split folding rear seat, power heated mirrors, power locks and windows. The SE Plus adds remote entry, roof rack, cargo cover, cruise control and trim upgrades. Both SE models are powered by a 2.4-litre, variable valve timing DOHC inline four-cylinder producing 174 hp and 166 lb/ft of torque. It comes with a four-speed automatic transmission and is available only in front-wheel-drive (FWD). Next up are the SXT

CONTRIBUTOR

When the Dodge Journey debuted in 2008 as a 2009 model, Chrysler Canada officials called it their “right-sized” crossover because it slotted in between the Caliber compact car and the Grand Caravan minivan. Like so many vehicles these days, the Journey is called a crossover. To me Journey is a clever way of taking a minivan and making it look like a SUV so people get the utility of up to seven seats along with a more rugged trucky look so in vogue these days. Based on a stretched Sebring platform, the fJourney fills a void in the evolving Chrysler/Dodge lineup. Bigger than a Mazda5, fthe Journey offers a real interior utility advantage against the rise of Santa Fe/Equinox/Edge compeftition. The price walk for the Journey starts with the SE ($19,995), the mid-range SXT ($25,795) up to the topline R/T at $29,855). NOTE: As I am writ-

and R/T that use a 3.5-litre, SOHC V6 making 235 hp and 232 lb/ft of torque. It is fitted with a six-speed automatic with Auto/ Stick sequential manual shift mode and is standard. The SXT is standard with FWD and all-wheeldrive (AWD) is standard on the R/T. Fuel consumption numbers for the SXT as tested are 13.3L/100 km (21 mpg) city and 8.3L/100 km (34 mpg) highway. In Canada, all versions can add a third row for 2/3/2 seating as an option. Interior volume is listed at 136.2 cu ft (3.86 cu m) with a passenger volume of 125.6 cu ft (3.56 cu m). Chrysler engineers are renowned for making the most of their interiors for storage. The nifty Cool Zone beverage can holder is now joined by two bins with latched covers under the floor in the second row footwell. On the five-seat models, the cargo floor is reversible with carpet on one side and plastic on the other for stowing wet stuff. There is also a storage bin beneath the floor

on the five-door. Both front seats have storage bins located beneath the flip-up seat cushion big enough for an umbrella or purse. The spare is a compact, but is located just under the cargo floor at the rear and would be easy to use if ever needed. The SXT has larger 17-inch aluminum wheels (16-inch steel wheels on the SE), touring suspension and seats in premium cloth including the YES Essentials anti stain/static/odour material, which, if you have kids or dogs, is worth buying the SXT alone. Tested here is the SXT with the 3.5-litre engine and six-speed automatic. As I found in a similarly equipped Dodge Avenger tested on these pages, the V6 is strong especially lower down in the rev range. With six speeds to work with instead of the four speed with the 2.4-litre, the drivetrain makes the most of the torque and gear ratios for a ride where it is hard to feel the transmission shift up or down during normal

THE 2010 DODGE JOURNEY crossover fills a big hole in the Chrysler lineup that meets the demand for a short wheelbase minivan with SUV looks. driving. Optional fitted ($475) to the SXT were 19-inch cast aluminum wheels with performance tires and the “Sport” suspension which makes handling a tad tauter. With ‘stadium seating’ in the second row, you do get a good look ahead if partially blocked by the quite substantial headrest on the front seat. The back doors open 90 degrees making it easier to get in and out.

The second row seat is fully foldable and has 120 mm (4.7 in) of travel to give others access to the third row seat. The seat cushion is firm to the point that in a long drive it would lead to butt numbness. The second row has two interesting functions. It has what Dodge calls a child presenter feature that lets the seat move forward two inches. With the front passenger seat folded flat, the driver can reach back

more easily to attend a small child. The other feature is child booster seats that can be raised four inches (102 mm) so kids are placed up in the adult seat belt zone. The SXT as tested had the $1,200 Flexible Seating Group with included all the above as well as a third row 50/50 folding and reclining seat backs and rear air conditioning which, if you carry more than four regularly is well worth considering.

Boulevard M50 reflects Suzuki’s new muscledup design strategy Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

FOLLOWING in the footsteps of larger cruiser siblings in the Suzuki lineup, the 2010 Boulevard M50 adds new muscle cruiser design and styling to a reliable and frugal 800 cc middleweight cruising package.

2010 Trailers Reduced For Immediate Sale! SALEMS ON SALE: BUILT IN OREGON AND TAILOR MADE

“Wow!” I said, and stopped in my tracks. It was orange. We had stepped outside of Suzuki headquarters and stood squinting into the brightness of the noonday sun. Or maybe we were squinting into the reflected brightness of an orange 2010 Boulevard M50 cruiser. This wasn’t one of those cop-out copper tone shades, although I would later notice how the bike’s colour would shift with the setting sun, morphing from a deepening gold to near red after dusk and into the evening. But at that moment, the M50 was just orange. About as orange as orange can be. “I like it,” I decided

aloud. Maybe because it broke from the usual biker diet of basic black. Possibly because it appealed to my contrary nature and an inclination towards anything unorthodox. Or maybe it touched deeper, hitting my Dutch heritage and a bloodline connection to that colour. “Yeah,” Jason replied. “If you have an accident with this, they sure can’t claim they didn’t see you coming.” Jason is the go-to-guy for bikes at Suzuki and he walked me around this new model for 2010. It’s fair to say the changes are mostly cosmetic. The main components carry over. This 2010 M50 is based on roughly the same middleweight cruiser layout as last year, the same 805 cc engine (a near-50 cu in displace-

ment, hence the M50 name). There’s the same entrylevel disc/drum braking system and virtually identical dimensions—length, seat height, width, wheelbase, whatever. As for the new look, well, it’s simply a case of trickle-down ergonomics, to adapt a phrase. It all began with the biggest bike in the lineup, the brawny M109R that debuted in 2006. The popular muscle cruiser look then carried over into a one-size-down M90 last year. And this year, it’s the M50’s turn. The M50’s new, more aggressive design has been combined with pullback handlebars that tuck in a little closer to the rider, a wider contoured saddle, a new sculpted rear fender See Suzuki B5

into a 323 km range for me on a full tank but the smaller, lighter riders that this bike was designed for will probably do a little better.

I enjoyed riding the M50. Like the 750 cc bikes I practice on at the beginning of every riding season, it provides a forgiving level of friendly

power and, although the M50 was a more than capable cruiser on the highway, its short wheelbase and middleweight mass make it a suitable city

fortable handlebar reach, upright seat position and short front porch, the M50 felt more like a standard or naked bike than some pseudo-chopper. I had to keep reminding myself I was on a cruiser. Thumb the starter, slip the clutch and the M50 honks forth with a deepvoiced snarl that shifts to a lovely low moan on deceleration. It almost reminded me of the Gladius. There’s enough bottom end torque launch to satisfy but, as with most engines this size, the power is predictable, without the manic edginess of a bigger motor. The V-Twin vibrates with offset orneriness until it broaches the midto-upper revs, preferring a top gear highway speed of 120 km/h to smooth the mirrors out at, oh, probably 4000 rpm or so (I’m guessing here, without a tach). Fuel economy is officially rated at 4.8L/100km. On my first tank, I ran the fuel gauge down to one bar after 265 km and refilled with 12.8 litres of gas, which works out to about the same as the official rating. That translates

and handsome slash-cut chrome mufflers. I’ve never been a big fan of the shrouded headlamp styling of this muscle cruiser design but Jason defended it, claiming a marked riding difference due to the shroud’s redirection of air away from the rider’s chest and head. Well, I’m a little taller than he is, so I’ll have to take his word for it. Swing a leg over and, for a small bike, it’s big being wide-tanked up front, wide-tailed in back, with enough mass and presfence to refute any “girlybike” connotations. But, yes, on the other hand, this would be a good motorcycle for novices and the shorter-inseam crowd. The overdose of orrange on this test bike was particularly accented by tthe extra bodywork of an optional cover plate, in lieu of a passenger seat. This was mainly because Suzuki prefers nopassenger liabilities, but kas far as style enhancement goes, it also adds to the bike’s overall coolrness. The pegs are slightly forward but with the com-
