ith the return of the Okanagan’s traditional hot weather that was missing in July, the heat is also turned up for the Kelowna Parks Department and the RCMP. Security and maintenance are two key issues the City of Kelowna deals with every year as the tourists descend on Kelowna. For the Kelowna RCMP, Sgt. Ann Morrison says the city detachment will reallocate resources to deal with the summer traffic on the local beaches. “Right after school finishes we tend to step up our beach security effort,” Morrison said. “The warm weather hasn’t been so much this summer, but typically the beaches start getting busier in June, July and August is busy, particularly the August long weekend, which is the busiest time of the year with Centre of Gravity and other things going on.” She said the Kelowna RCMP beach patrol efforts fall to officers on foot patrols, the Gator all-terrain vehicle being mobilized, auxiliaries offering assistance and the mountain bike patrol. She said generally, tourists from outside the Okanagan often think it is OK to drink liquor or smoke marijuana on local beaches. “There are times when we have to remind tourists that it’s not OK to do that,” she said. She cited one example of a group from Seattle who were strolling along the City Park boardwalk, openly drinking liquor. “They wouldn’t be allowed to do that in their own city, but for some reason they thought it was OK to do it here,” she said. “That’s kind of the Mardi Gras attitude that some tourists have when they come here, that anything goes when in fact that’s not the case.” See story A3.

Morrison said the issue of smoking marijuana on the beach is confused by people smoking pot for medicinal purposes, and that possessing a small amount may be perceived as not being a big deal in terms of the legal consequences. “We are finding that people smoking marijuana on the beach has become more frequent so we are concentrating our efforts in that direction as well,” Morrison said. Security is also an issue for the city’s parks department. Three students are hired during the summer as park hosts, to tour the beach sites daily with the task of keeping their eyes and ears open for any unwanted activities taking place, and to then call the appropriate authorities. “It’s something we do as a little extra measure during the summer to ensure visiting our beaches is a positive experience for everyone,” said Ted Sophonow, City of Kelowna park, beaches and sportsfields supervisor. Night staff are also in place to patrol the beaches to make sure nobody is hanging out or sleeping on the beaches after closing hours. Sophonow says the maintenance side also intensifies considerably compared to the winter months, as garbage cans are emptied three times a day, and the beach sand is mechanically sifted three times a week to remove unwanted foreign objects. As well, the city has volunteers who are members of a metal detector collector club in Kelowna who are out with their equipment daily, looking for items left behind and buried under the sand. “It’s surprising the kind of stuff they pick up that people leave behind…jewelry like rings and watches, money, bottle caps, anything metal they will find it,” Sophonow said. The summer beach season for the police and parks department tends to wind down with the return of school after the September long weekend. While the weather in July tended to discourage people from hitting the beaches in large numbers, Sophonow says August is likely to be more like normal as the extended forecast is calling for sunny skies.

NEWS ▼ WEST KELOWNA LAND EXCHANGE
Mayor says viewing ‘whole deal’ will provide clarity Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The District of West Kelowna is requesting that the province put the
entire land exchange deal between Westbank First Nation and the provincial government, on the table. “Nobody has ever seen this; they’ve refused
to provide this contractual agreement,” said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. “We simply don’t know what all the impli-

cations are on the whole thing.” Findlater said that the district has received a limited amount of information about the land ex-

change, which has left it guessing about the overall impact it may have. “We have very little in writing on this except a letter asking us to register our concerns. We’ve never seen the appraisal comparing the various lands,” said Findlater. But the B.C. Minister of Transportation, Blair Lekstrom, said that the District of West Kelowna has been the one opting out of receiving information. “We have had discussions with the District of West Kelowna. It’s unfortunate they have chosen to not come to the table for whatever reason. That one, I’m somewhat confused on.” Lekstrom also mentioned that appraisals had been done on the 698-acre proposal. He said that the public was misinformed by the District of West Kelowna’s suggestions that the land was estimated to be worth between $28 million and $42 million. “The 698-acre parcel is an undeveloped, raw piece of land, much of it (can’t be developed) in many cases. The appraisal was $5.9 million,” said Lekstrom. “The parcel that was exchanged, so we could continue to build our infrastructure that was needed for everybody in the region, was assessed at $8 million. So, in fact, the taxpayers of B.C. have done very well on this.” Lekstrom said he was surprised when asked about the claims that the District of West Kelowna has written repeatedly to request documents about the negotiation and the agreement on the land exchange, to no avail. “As it stands right now, District of West Kelowna elected officials have told their staff not to engage. The ball is in their court. We’re more than willing to be at the table, to have these discussions.” Lekstrom also ad-
dressed the concerns about Rose Valley Regional Park and the adjacent Rose Valley Reservoir watershed. “We can’t enter into an agreement that would jeopardize the watershed. That’s clear to everybody and that’s just not going to happen,” Lekstrom explained. “The park issue is something near and dear to the people in that region. There has been discussions with WFN on looking at that park and maintaining it. Those discussions are ongoing; there is no final agreement yet.” Findlater said West Kelowna is left with a dilemma: “Do we sit at the table and put our concerns out there and reach some kind of an agreement on those concerns for what’s fundamentally wrong and odious? Or do we simply say, ‘No, this is not acceptable?’” said Findlater. According to the mayor, there are still missing pieces of the puzzle. “This is not the only thing that’s going on with regard to addition to the reserve. There are two other requests to add property in the area of Devon Road and Old Ferry Wharf Road to the Westbank First Nation as well.” According to Findlater, the district has questions about other possible arrangements as well. “What are the arrangements if they secure these roads as reserve land for other roads to be built in to those areas to service them? Then, are they expecting to recover additional land because those roads on the reserve land would become provincial roads?” Findlater believes that this deal may go back to before the municipality was incorporated. “As far as we can tell, without actually looking at the agreement— which hasn’t been shared with us—the fundamentals of this agreement
were ironed out between the province, ministry of transportation and infrastructure and Westbank First Nation in conjunction with the W.R. Bennett Bridge in 2006 or 2007.” According to Findlater, the regional district, which was the local government at the time, was never consulted when the deal was being put together, nor was the Lakeview Irrigation District, which was in existence as a form of local government for water utilities. The irrigation district also built the dam on Rose Valley Reservoir. “Fast forward to October 2009. The District of West Kelowna was informed by the provincial government that they put what they call a map reserve on these parcels in the Rose Valley area to transfer to WFN,” Findlater said. “In November, we registered our objection. We simply did not favour this because of the loss of potential park land.” Findlater thought that might have put an end to it; however, in October 2010 the provincial government came back wanting to get the deal done. “In December 2010, after a lot of evaluation, we wrote a very detailed letter indicating our objection and multiple reasons why.” That letter was written to then minister of transportation, Shirley Bond. The letter specifically requested a land appraisal. After no response, another letter was sent to Lekstrom on April 13, 2011. “We did not receive a formal reply until June, 2011 from Lekstrom. That letter said, ‘We’ll be happy to talk,’ rather than anything substantial in terms of addressing our concerns,” Findlater said. A final letter was sent to local MLA Ben Stewart on July 26, 2011, referencing unanswered concerns from previous letters.

Car rollover sends baby passenger to KGH West Kelowna RCMP responded to a single vehicle rollover at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday morning that sent a five-month-old baby to hospital as a precautionary measure. A woman was driving on Boucherie Road when the vehicle rolled over. “It appears that she swerved to avoid an apparent object,” said Sgt. Ann Morrison of Kelowna RCMP. The driver told RCMP that the object was a rock in the middle of the road which the police were unable to locate, noted Morrison.

Farmers’ market dealing with parking woes Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The unruly habits of angry drivers have forced the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market to get strict on parking until a new location can be found. Last spring, market president Bob Callioux confirmed the market is looking for new digs, having outgrown its Springfield Road location. A new spot may now be on the horizon, as the market is working out details with a developer and the city. But in the meantime, market management have decided the crazy parking on the Central Okanagan School District’s property must stop. “There was a couple of really big issues this year and it just sort of blew up. So, for everyone’s safety we decided we would

PARKING ISSUES have again raised the need to find a new location for the Hugh Gloster close the spots,” said Callioux. The area in question is beside the school district office parking lot. In the past, anyone heading to the market has been able to park on the vacant lot to head into the market, even on Wednesdays when the school district office is open and its parking lot is off limits. The land is owned by the school district and, after numerous incidents, the outdoor market’s management decided using it
Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market. was not worth putting customers and those heading to the school district at risk. Callioux noted he witnessed a couple of incidents he would characterize as road rage this year, and some cases where people were nearly hit by cars. School district superintendent Hugh Gloster said he had heard of several near misses involving pedestrians, and believes the situation was not particularly safe for parents
and small children who would sometimes walk between parked cars. “There was an interim plan between ourselves, the market folks and the city to try and bring access through the lane between our property and theirs, but I think they found that just moved the congestion to another point,” said Gloster. Wolf Wesle, of the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market, confirmed a deal is underway to move the market, but said it will
likely be in the same place for at least another year, so a parking solution is needed. The Kelowna SPCA will be parking cars in the lot directly above the Farmers’ Market on Springfield. The spots are by donation, if customers wish to make a donation, and the traffic will be controlled on site. The new parking plan has had a positive impact on the SPCA’s bottom line, Callioux said. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge while at the beach. On Sunday, we ventured to the edge of Woods Lake for the annual Rod and Annie barbecue. It’s an annual migration of long-time friends to the Bell bash where the only thing that surpasses the spread of food (including Annie’s pies) is the camaraderie and laughter. On Monday, we were delighted to be invited to “Mathers’ Manor� across the bridge to watch the Snowbirds performance. Nestled along the shore, Barry and Donna Mathers have a wonderful summer hideaway complete with some crazy fun neighbours, a unique one-hole golf course, and the luxurious Craig’s Grill and Bar. As always I sucked at golf (how can anyone be five strokes over on a onehole course?) but the fellowship and laughter was top notch. It was rather surreal to watch the snowbirds buzz
about the sky with our beautiful city spread out beneath them. We truly do live in paradise. Monday was a musical tune-up though for Wednesday night’s performance of Mean Donna at the Grateful Fed. Mean Donna is comprised of Barry ‘Golden throat’ Mathers, Donna Mathers, Gary Smyth, and banjo master Graham Maltby. Barry is no stranger to Canadian music fans, especially Kelowna country/roots/rock fans. He is truly a song writing legend in Canada. His amazing vocals match his marvellous skill as a songwriter, best known for his 26 years with Juno nominee and multiple Canadian Country Music Association award winners The Cruzeros, While the Cruzeros (Barry, Curtis Tulman, Gary Smyth) still perform occasional big stage shows, Mathers recently formed his new traditional country/roots Americana band after a six month hiatus from playing. “I needed a break because I had not felt the spark for playing much for a while. Now it’s all fun again and I get to sing with my wife which I never did in the past.
We’re having a great time,� Mathers beams. His fans can hear the new group every Wednesday night at the Fed as well as on Aug. 20 at The Bike Shop Cafe. ••• If jazz is more your thing, then check out the Rotary Centre for the Arts atrium every Friday between 5and 7 p.m. in August for great entertainment.

ual and had him leave his property. Following the conservation between the two, the orchardist watched Bobbitt leave and then realized he was wanted by the RCMP. Moskaluk said the orchardist contacted an offduty RCMP officer friend of his, who in turn immediately alerted the Oliver and Osoyoos detachments. The witness watched Bobbitt’s direction of travel until a uniformed officer arrived in the area and arrested Bobbitt as he walked along Highway 97, near Road 22 just north of Osoyoos.

I think Penticton really pulled through for her and I think she feels it.” Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said Bobbitt was arrested without incident by Oliver/Osoyoos RCMP as he walked along Highway 97 near Osoyoos. At approximately 6 p.m. an orchardist just south of Oliver had seen a man setting up camp on his property. The orchardist approached the individ-

Cherry growers in the South Okanagan sounded alarm bells about a labour shortage, but there are some who are managing to cope, if not excel, these days. “We are not short of pickers at all,” said Christine Dendy, a longtime Kelowna orchardist. “We have some local people picking who have a lot of experience and some young boys who come around and make up to $500 a day.” Dendy said it’s a job young people are learning can make them a lot of money if they work hard and hone their skills. “There are lots of opportunities to get out and work in the summer, and not everybody makes that kind of money, but the potential is there,” she said. Oliver orchardists, however, have indicated a shortage of about 200 workers in cherry harvesting and sorting. The workforce is a combination of local and Quebecois youth, as well as foreign workers. This year, the funding for the Okanagan French Employment Service Centre was cut off by the federal government. As a result, fewer Quebecois youth are in the Okanagan and there is a shortage of workers for cherry harvest. Cherries ripen in the South Okanagan, and the labour stains are most prominent there. Over the next two weeks, the harvest moves to the North Okanagan and as the crop ripens, there’s concern the strain will shift northward. “First, harvest was delayed and that meant pickers did not have enough work. Now, there is so much work that we are short of pickers,” said Madeleine Van Roechoudt, chair of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association Labour Committee. “It will be an enormous help for growers to get local youth out to the orchards.” Local youth interested in picking or sorting cherries can call Ron Forrest at 250-859-3354.
Shackled and clad in prison orange, the man accused of nearly killing a young Okanagan woman while he tortured her last weekend, turned and smiled at the throng of onlookers gathered outside a Penticton courthouse Thursday afternoon. It was the first glimpse the public has had of David Wesley Bobbitt, who was arrested Wednesday night in Osoyoos after a four-day manhunt. He’s facing a charge of attempted murder for allegedly beating a 22-yearold woman for more than 10 hours at his Ellis Street store, while her 22-monthold son sat nearby. Once in court, Bobbitt’s focus moved to friends and family of the victim, as he mouthed words and taunted them. It turned out to be more than the father of the victim’s son could bear. He stood up and yelled at Bobbitt and the accused quickly snapped back “keep threatening me you
it,” said the victim’s father as he left the courthouse. “(Bobbitt) will have his day.” Sharon O’Connor, a friend of the victim, said it’s been welcome news to everyone, especially the woman who endured the highly publicized attack. “She was so happy she was almost bouncing. She said. ‘I feel like I have so much energy,’” said O’Connor. Since being released from the hospital Wednesday, she is at home and news of Bobbitt’s capture now allows her to “feel safe.” “She said ‘I’m excited to sleep and I am glad

(expletive),” before he was grabbed by the sheriff and put back in the courthouse lock up. Outside, the intense exchange continued until Bobbitt was moved to the court transport vehicle. The father of the victim’s son charged the chain link fence and Bobbitt yelled out: “I’ll get you later.” A publication ban has been ordered and both defence council Robert Maxwell and Crown Council John Swanson agreed that Bobbitt will remain in custody and have a 30-day psychiatric assessment. “It’s a good day, isn’t

Fletcher makes some valid points To the editor: Re: Green Party Credibility Lost Under ‘Tinfoil-hat’ Science (Tom Fletcher column, Aug. 2 Capital News). Tom Fletcher is correct. The 2009 B.C. Greens platform had a time line that included smart metering by 2012. We did not recommend wireless meters because, as Fletcher mentioned, we have precautionary policy on EMF radiation. Our policy was revised in 2010. The initiatives we wanted implemented prior to new meters—feed-in tariffs, timeof-day pricing and regional management boards—were not in progress at the end of 2009 so that the timeline for smart metering was eliminated. Without being tied to substantial energy conservation, BC Hydro’s smart meter program is simply a different and more expensive way to collect data. A billion dollars invested in conservation and energy retrofits, diversifying

Centre of Gravity a needed cog for local economy
T
he dust, not to mention mounds of refuse, finally settled after the long weekend's festivities and now people are asking: Is Centre of Gravity the saviour of summer tourism, or another drunk-fest surfing toward infamy a la Wakefest? “Mostly the feedback we've received has been positive. But I know people will bring up that they saw someone throw up or that there was a lot of garbage,” said organizer Scott Emslie, noting he's been battling comparisons to Wakefest since 2009. “But there will always be idiots. I wish everyone was great, but when we're talking about 22,000 people, we can't guarantee that.” For those who weren't around to see
event, it offered up a KATHARTIC the range of sporty activities
and music as well as an area to imbibe. As is to be expected, the unadvertised draw was a bounty Kathy of half naked teens and Michaels 20-somethings intent on working on their melanoma and getting a buzz which, frankly, is where the threat is introduced. While buzzed, brown and scantily clad is pretty standard fare in the Okanagan Valley, it's that critical moment when blotto and barbaric complaints come to the fore. Scrolling through history, the mix of sun-fried tourists and locals became a problem in both 1986 and 1988 when alcohol-fuelled riots erupted, ending in killing off the summer Regatta.
Wakefest was good fun until it turned into little more than an excuse to get loaded and act like a monkey. By July 2007, hotel lobbyists who were paying more to recover from Wakefest than they were making by room rentals convinced Kelowna city council to ban the event for a year. It's never returned. Now Centre of Gravity—which picked up the unfortunate acronym COG this year—is heir apparent to a nefarious reputation. Complaints of vandalism, fights, public drunkenness and weirdness—like camping in parking lots—have trickled out between the sunniest reviews. But, as the event goes to the City of Kelowna's outdoor event's committee to get the go-ahead for 2012, will that be what they see? Emslie said the debriefing will happen soon and by September they'll know whether their 2012 proposal will get a green light.
“I hope Kelowna can see the benefits,” he said, adding it took them two days but the event site as well as surrounding area was Spic and Span in no time. “Anytime you have crowds of that size you're going to have a couple of idiots, but you have to think about all the great people who come into town.” Both the great and idiotic have one thing in common. They come loaded with cash. The festival is definitely a boon to the local economy, offering $4 to $5 million at least, which retailers, hoteliers and restauranteurs should be gleeful about after several terrible years. All in all, I may not be into the idea of spending a weekend with a bunch of sweaty and buzzed young people, but it would be nuts to say that these kind of events are anything other than a major booster to the city. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Suzuki chastised for family holiday No respect To the editor: Re: David Suzuki column: Cherry Picking Offers Lessons In Life, July 28 Capital News. David Suzuki talks of his family going on an “annual cherry run” from Vancouver, British Columbia to the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. In other words, Suzuki’s family undertakes an annual roundtrip “cherry run” of about 1,000 km (over mountainous terrain where vehicles get poor gas mileage) just to acquire fruit. For someone who preaches environmental sacrifice, does this not seem self-indulgent and hypocritical? Imagine if all two million people in the greater Vancouver
area undertook such trips every year? Would it not be more environmentally friendly for Suzuki just to remain in Vancouver and buy Okanagan fruit imported in bulk to this region? It is far less energy efficient (i.e.: kg of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants produced per kg of fruit obtained) for a family to drive a vehicle to the Okanagan from Vancouver to buy fruit than it is to buy the same fruit transported in bulk to Vancouver from the Okanagan. Suzuki must apply the same reasonings he uses for other members of society to his own family. And do readers really care that the Suzuki’s “sometimes watched our daugh-
ters suffer the gastrointestinal problems of gorging on too much fruit”? Furthermore, in this column Suzuki states that over the 32 years that his family has been visiting the Okanagan in the summer “the towns we delighted in visiting have become choked with— water pollution.” Suzuki must provide evidence of such increasingly choking “water pollution” in the Okanagan since the late 1970s and early 1980s. To the contrary, it appears the available scientific evidence has shown that the increasing numbers of municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) built in the region over this time, improvements in treat-
ment methods at existing WWTPs, and conversion of substantial numbers of residences from septic fields to sewer systems has collectively and substantially reduced water pollution in this region over the past three to four decades. Indeed, Okanagan Lake used to suffer from repeated algal blooms due to high nutrient loadings in the 1960s and 1970s from the lack of appropriate regional wastewater treatment. Rather than making overly simplistic, and likely erroneous, statements, Suzuki needs to provide the evidence (which does not appear to exist) that water pollution is currently choking the Okanagan.

Criminals are treated with more respect and receive more perks than the lonely seniors living in care homes. My mom is one of the many seniors who pay $1600 per month.

Comments from the Web on WiFi meters

To the editor: RE: Intelligence of New Smart Meters Being Questioned Aug. 4 Capital News. People who have health problems with wireless should have the option to have wired meters or use the current meter they have. Ontario has wired in place in some areas where it was requested. Why leave people in limbo knowing that if one of the wireless Itron meters is installed, their health could be made much worse than it currently is? Step up to the plate, BC Hydro, and put in an order for wired meters, at least for those who really need it. Avoid repeating what has happened in California and other places. I can understand this man’s concern and wouldn’t be surprised if more have to take this step to ensure they can remain safe in their own home.

that this is being entirely blown out of proportion and being used as an opportunistic story to cause fear. In reality, with the new smart meters we’ll be able to use new technologies to monitor our own power in real time so we know how much we are using and can make changes to our own consumption behaviour to conserve and save money by 10 per cent to 20 per cent, along with lower carbon footprint on the environment. Who doesn’t want to save? Michael Silmont, Recent Comments on www.kelownacapnews.com To the editor: Re: Intelligence of new smart meters being questioned. Mr. Silmont, do not fall for the claim about comparative “low” or “high” power. That is not all that counts in judging the deleterious effect. There is plenty of scientific study to back this up (See ch 14 online Bioinitiative Report for a sense of the complexity of the danger, simplistic regulatory regimes like Canada’s ignoring all that might perturb in-
dustry and its abettors). At the “low” end of symptomology, our smart meters provoked in me tinnitus, which is not to be taken lightly, but rather as indicative of graver goings on, not to mention the great irritant in itself—we had our meters replaced, and the quarter-hourly tinnitus spike stopped. Let this be a warning: Why shunt the costs to the health care system, it’ll be borne by you all one way or another, in higher costs via your utility to replace the harmful meters, or higher taxes for tending to the ill—likely both. There are very many people already reporting injury from these meters. It is good that this is being used as a wedge into the issue of the general dangers of wireless, not to mention other matters dealing with energy provision. And good for B.C. Greens to have spoken up—conservation etc., are attainable minus such a wireless grid. Wired time-of-use data transfer to utilities has been around for a long time and is adaptable for current intents and purposes. There’s no need to go further with this wireless fetish that is endangering everything with cells in its body. DV Recent Comments on www.kelownacapnews.com

Shrewd marketing fills pockets Express yourself Greens from A10 to renewable energy or any number of priorities should precede changing meters. Fletcher may dismiss health concerns associated with WiFi but people have a right to feel safe and healthy in their own homes. Those who choose not to use wireless technology should not be forced to do so.
As I said at the news conference, wireless smart meters are a technological solution looking for a problem. With shrewd marketing, the companies that developed wireless smart meters have become wealthy with solesource contracts from government after government. At some point, given deficits and debt load, we will need to reverse the decision-making
process so that long-term plans actually precede implementation of new technology. Other jurisdictions are putting moratoriums on or cancelling the installation of smart meters. We are recommending BC Hydro listen to valid privacy, security and health concerns and change course. Jane Sterk, leader Green Party of B.C.

Setting a bad precedent
W
hen is a park not a park? In fact, what is a
park? Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia) says it’s a protected area, in its natural or semi-natural state, (or planted), set aside for human recreation and enjoyment or for the protection of wildlife or natural habitats. Both the Webster and Oxford dictionaries provide similar meanings for the word. It goes on to note that many are legally protected by law. Perhaps that’s where the problem lies—whose law? If it’s local government law, the province can apparently overturn it; take the parkland away from one set of local users and give it to another set of local users—or whomever. So, don’t get too accustomed to your favourite park, because it may no longer be a park the next time you want to use it. That appears to be what’s happened with a portion of the 250-hectare Rose Valley Regional Park. West Kelowna council is strongly opposed to the province’s proposal to turn 698 acres of Crown land around Rose Valley Reservoir, including large chunks of the regional park, over to the Westbank First Nation in exchange for eight acres of reserve land which are being used for a new interchange on Highway 97. Both West Kelowna and the regional district board say the province hasn’t included them in discussions about the land exchange, despite the fact that West Kelowna operates a water utility that relies on the reservoir and the regional district has a Licence of Occupation on one parcel of the Crown land for a park. And, it does seem criminal for the province to take away a park when it already has an agreement with another body covering that parcel of land. Would that stand up in court? Late Thursday, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said the watershed and reservoir would not be jeopardized by the agreement and that he feels it’s important that the park be maintained, perhaps by a co-management agreement with the WFN. He also pointed out
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves that there is no provincial dedication of that land as parkland, whether the regional district calls it one or not. So here’s some history I remember when a group of neighbours and outdoors enthusiasts rallied around to protect a little piece of property adjacent to the spring-fed Goldie’s Pond, which is beside Rose Valley elementary school in what is now West Kelowna. A developer wanted to fill it in and build houses there. It’s a pretty little pond with a wetland surrounding it that is extensively used by a wide variety of wildlife, including the dramatic yellow-headed blackbirds and their cousins, the red-winged blackbirds. There were fund-raisers and much lobbying; there were T-shirts with the yellow-headed blackbirds on them and there was a campaign to save Goldie’s Pond. The Nature Trust of B.C. got involved, and so did the Okanagan Region Wildlife Heritage Fund Society and the Central Okanagan Land Trust. There were other organizations and business that got involved and contrib-
uted to purchasing the land, but ultimately it was purchased and became a regional park. It was just a small lot with a lovely little pond on it, but adjacent to it was a large piece of Crown-owned land that went up the ridge and down to Rose Valley Reservoir, a gem of a little lake pinched between the folds of the hills; created with a dam by the Lakeview Irrigation District early last century from a wetland, to provide clear water to the people of Lakeview Heights. So, the regional district negotiated with the provincial government to add the upland wilderness to the little park around the pond so both wildlife and humans could enjoy the peace of a natural forest as part of their everyday lives, and to preserve a chunk of wild land. After all, all those people had voted with the hearts, their minds, and even their wallets, in favour of preserving a bit of wilderness by protecting the little pond, so it must be a good thing to do, right? However, the provincial government would never agree to a long-term tenure for the new park, just a license of occupation, which had to be renewed every 10 years. So, what the people who use it believe is a wilderness park for their recreation and enjoyment; and a preserve for wildlife to conserve necessary habitat in an area that

is rapidly being covered with asphalt and houses— is not really a park at all because the province can step in and take the land for development or some other use at any time. And there are other “parks” that have similar uncertainties. Robert Hobson, chairman of the Central Okanaga Regional District, is adamant CORD does not want to lose the park and that he doesn’t believe the province should be selling off land adjacent to reservoirs. He is also concerned about the precedent this sets for removing land that is parkland for use for other purposes. A portion of Cedar Mountain Regional Park, where the climbers’ playground is, part of the Crags, is also held under a license of occupation, so is parkland under uncertain circumstances too. So is the upper portion of Glen Canyon Regional Park in West Kelowna; a portion of Antlers Beach/
Hardy Falls Regional Park in Peachland, a small acreage along phase two of the Mission Creek Greenway and foreshore licences throughout the region. Crown land is owned by us, the same as regional parks are, but one of our two hands doesn’t seem to know, or care, what the other is doing. While one hand is giving, the other is taking away. As parkland, these properties would remain in their natural states, for the use of wildlife and the enjoyment of all people, including members of the WFN. I haven’t been able to get answers from the WFN about its plans for the properties, but I’m assuming that would no longer be the case. We’ll all lose, if that’s so.

An outspoken defender of his community and the tree fruit industry is being remembered fondly. Allan Claridge, a longtime Oyama orchardist, died Wednesday at age 87. “He’s a pioneer,” said Deb Butler, Oyama Community Club president. Born at sea in 1924,

Claridge was known for encouraging youth to pursue their dreams, and serving as an unofficial community arbitrator. “He was very eloquent and able to facilitate dia-
logue between residents,” said Noreen Guenther, the Oyama representative on Lake Country council. “He played a role of opening people up so they could discuss things.” Claridge’s connections to the tree fruit industry took root when his parents began farming. “There was a passion not just for this industry but agriculture in general,” said Joe Sardinha, B.C. Fruit Growers Asso-

Kelowna BMX club hosts national event Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR
When the 400 to 500 riders show up for the Firestorm Nationals this weekend at the Kelowna BMX track, they will be racing on a safer and possibly faster track. The Kelowna BMX club has installed asphalt corners on the track, and upgrade the club has wanted to make for four years says Kelowna BMX president Richard Loney. “The asphalt adds to the safety of the track, the corners don’t erode with weather conditions, it takes far less maintenance to keep the track safe.” The Firestorm Nationals are part of a series of major races with the American Bicycle Association. More than 1,200 spectators are expected at the BMX track behind the Rutland Arena this weekend. Admission to watch is free. Interest in the sport is
growing rapidly as Loney says the reason is simple: “We are now an Olympic sport.” Plus the races are exciting; racers jump and go over the bumps and obstacles of the course itself at startling fast speeds. About half of the competitors expected at the event are between the ages of 8 to 18 years old. Riders however can be as young as three and well into their sixties. One of the children competing this weekend is the number one Canadian Amateur Girl for all age groups in Canada, Natalie Schmidt, 11, of West Kelowna. Schmidt has been riding since kindergarten and got into the sports after watching her dad and brother compete. “I have to train pretty hard, my brother Spencer and my dad help me at the track.” She is spending her summer focused on her sport, the exercise equipment at home is get-

Watkins to the rescue It didn't take long for Danny Watkins' experience as a firefighter to come in handy on the football field. In his first day working out with the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, the 26year-old from West Kelowna stepped in to help a teammate who had collapsed after experiencing a seizure during practice Wednesday. Watkins, who learned the firefighting trade as a longtime volunteer at West Kelowna Fire Rescue, assisted Eagles medical staff after defensive tackle Mike Patterson fell
to the ground. “The staff here, they know what they're doing,” Watkins said on the Eagles' website. “Those guys are trained professionals. I was trying to help where I could.” Patterson was taken to a nearby hospital for tests and had no complications from the seizure. “You see something like that and you automatically want to help the guy,” Watkins added. “You want to help him even more because he's your teammate. My thoughts and prayers are going to be with him to-
Danny Watkins night.” After missing the first five days of practice before signing a contract, Watkins' played right guard in his first day with the team, the position the Eagles expect him to start at when the 2011 season begins.
“I knew that today was going to definitely be a mental and physical day and it was. There's definitely a lot of areas I need to improve on. I told Coach (Andy) Reid and Coach Mudd that I'm willing to take some hard coaching to get the job done. I'm looking forward to continue working with them.” Watkins signed a fouryear contract—three years guaranteed—with the Eagles earlier this week. The 6-foot-4, 310pound Mt. Boucherie grad was Philadelphia's first round pick, 23rd overall in the 2011 NFL draft.

one can catch me.” The feeling inside after a win keeps Schmidt motivated in the short term, but the Olympics are her big dream. “I want to go to the Olympics, I have to be 18 so they are nine
years away.” The Firestorm Nationals will be hosting pro athletes, Olympic hopefuls, and nationally ranked racers of all ages. To catch some of the excitement for free this weekend go to
the BMX track behind the Rutland Arena. Pre-racing starts Friday afternoon, with competition heating up at 11 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Raiders vs Rocks in OXLL final After a one-year absence, the Kelowna Raiders are looking to get back on top of the heap. The Raiders will host the Armstrong Shamrocks Friday night at Memorial in Game 1 of the best-ofthree Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League final. Game time is 7 p.m. Kelowna won the OXLL title for four straight seasons, from 2006 to 2009, but were knocked off their perch last season. This year, the Raiders went 7-5 to finish first overall during the regular season, then defeated
the Kamloops Rattlers in three games in their first round playoff series. Kelowna clinched a spot in the final with a 10-7 win over the Rattlers on Tuesday at home. With Doug Manning and Khris Scott sharing
the coaching duties, manager Jules Morris said the Raiders have improved as the season has progressed. “It's been a really good year,” said Morris. “The team has really gelled. We didn't have as many players as past years, we have a lot of young guys, but the guys that came out played hard and have had a good season. Everybody's having fun, so that's been important.” Game 2 in the best-ofthree final is set for Monday in Armstrong, with a third game, if needed, back in Kelowna on Wednesday, Aug. 10.

Hockey Canada ▼ SOCCER role for Michaud Top international coaches in Kelowna Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Okanagan Rockets manager David Michaud is getting his feet wet this year with Hockey Canada. Michaud, who will enter his third season working in the B.C. Major Midget League this fall, has been hired as the assistant director of operations for Team Pacific for the World U17 Challenge. "Anytime you get a chance to be part of something where your team is wearing the Team Canada jersey is pretty exciting," said Michaud. "The fact that we have a good team and should challenge for a medal is even better. As the assistant director of operations with Team Pacific, Michaud says this year is a learning year for him within Hockey Canada. “This year is more of a mentoring role where I have the chance to sit back and watch how the (Hockey Canada) high performance system is run,” he said. “You're working with the best 17-year-olds in the region and we have a pretty talented squad. There are some real highend play.” Among the Kelowna and area players who will have a chance to make Team Pacific include Luke Harrison, Art Nichol, Matt
David Michaud Hill, Brennan Clark and Jarrod Schamerhorn. Those players will be among 40 that will take part in an identification camp July 23 to 27 in Salmon Arm before they head to different junior or midget teams for the season. “We have 40 players that went through our evaluation camp and from those players a shortlist of around 20,” said Michaud. “Then we keep dibs on them at the start of the season and by mid November will be announcing Team Pacific.” Eleven players from each of B.C. and Alberta will be named to Team Pacific. The World Under17 Challenge will take place in Windsor, Ont., his year and will begin on Boxing Day. Last year, the tournament was in Winnipeg and Team Pacific claimed a bronze medal. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Acupuncture can help sinusitis
W
e all know the symptoms: Stuffy nose, pressure and pain in the sinuses, post-nasal drip, irritated throat and coughing, clogged ears, and that foggy, heavy, can’ttaste-or-smell feeling in the head. Sinus infections can start with a stubborn cold or allergies, and in bad cases can go on for months. Sinusitis occurs when one or more of the sinus cavities become inflamed due to several causes such as bacteria, fungi and allergies to pollen causing pain in the nasal area. The main symptoms are pain, congestion, and a frontal headache. Most sinus symptoms are triggered when the mucous membrane of the sinus cavities in your face get inflamed. It may even trigger headaches. The lo-
KEEPING YOU MOVING
Sarah Jenkins cation of the pain depends on which sinus or sinuses are affected, and often antibiotics may not help. Acupuncture can help drain the sinuses by loosening mucus and stimulating movement in the head. More importantly, it can strengthen the body’s ability to dissolve phlegm, fight infection, and rebuild strength. Points are chosen to relieve sinus pressure, strengthen the spleen to reduce phlegm, and boost the immune system. As needed, treatment can also be geared toward
symptoms such as sore throat, headache, cough, or chest congestion. Taking herbs alongside acupuncture treatment can speed the process considerably. Modern science believes that acupuncture brings about biochemical changes in the blood serum to stabilize serotonin—a vital chemical that acts as a messenger between the spinal cord and brain—and stimulates the release of the human body’s natural painkiller (endorphins) to alleviate the pain. Further, it promotes cerebral circulation so that the affected region gets more oxygenated blood supply and nutrients. Acupuncture for sinusitis is usually prescribed based on a detailed diagnosis of your medical condition. Firstly
CMT Hit List Tour
I investigate your symptoms to determine what the imbalances in your body are before a beginning a course of treatments. Depending on the severity of your sinus problems, you may need only a couple of treatments before experiencing relief or you may need to get acupuncture weekly for several months to finally be free of your chronic sinusitis. Chinese herbal formulas are often added to the treatment plan. In my experience, acupuncture and herbal therapy are very effective methods for treating this common problem.

Machu Picchu dazzles senses, which may be its downfall Christopher Reynolds CONTRIBUTOR
MACHU PICCHU, Peru—At the top of the mountain, where an attendant will take your $46 ticket, foot traffic is steady and cellphone reception is excellent. At the bottom of the same mountain, the town teems with pizzerias, tourists chatter in half a dozen languages and a school band director is herding his traditionally costumed students into formation. “Roki! Roki!” he seems to be hollering. And then, as darkness falls, his young trumpeters and

drummers launch into the rousing theme from Sylvester Stallone’s first hit movie. Yes, plenty has changed in this corner of the Andes since July 24, 1911, when Yale University professor Hiram Bingham III climbed these slopes with a local farmer and beheld the ruins we know as Machu Picchu. In the last dozen years, visitor traffic here has boomed, been halted by flooding, then surged again. The citadel’s most famous stone has been chipped by a beer commercial crew. Peru’s president has prevailed in a tug of war with Yale over artifacts Bingham had collected. Even the name of the town below Machu Picchu’s ruins

has been in flux: Though most locals and travelers have long known it as Aguas Calientes, a growing number of businesses and government agencies are calling it El Pueblo de Machu Picchu. Yet the stacked stones and eerie timelessness of the mountaintop endure. To see and feel this wonder at its best, all you need to do is take a series of planes, trains and automobiles, bring bug juice and sunblock, accept the thin air and some high prices, and get up early. The ruins open daily at 6 a.m., and that’s when you want to be there. If you’re lucky, the morning will begin with thick mist and fleeting glimpses of neighboring
peaks, which hang in the clouds like brushstrokes in a Chinese landscape painting. As the sun rises, the scale of the place will bloom and unfold— the orderly boulders, wild orchids, temples and terraces. The llamas nibbling wet grass. The viscachas (cousins of the chinchilla) skittering past the Temple of the Three Windows. It’s mesmerizing. I’ve made three trips to Machu Picchu—in 1988, 1995 and this year— and each time I’ve wound up gasping for air and groping for words. See Machu Picchu A24

TRAVEL ▼ MACHU PICCHU
Ancient Peruvian mountain relic popular with visitors Machu Picchu A23 You start with a climb to the old guardhouse for its commanding view— the postcard panorama, now deepened to three dimensions. You enter the citadel through the stone main gate, pass the western crop terraces, and look down, down, down to the rushing Urubamba River as it wraps around the mountain’s base. Later you’ll reach the royal enclosure, the Temple of the Condor and the round tower that Bingham spotted early on. But first you’ll likely gather around a sculpted rock known as Intihuatana, “the hitching post of the sun.” Chances are you’ll find visitors holding their hands out to it, as if to warm themselves by a fire. This is where the film crew went wrong in 2000. Making an ad for Cusquena beer, workers somehow hit the Intihuatana stone with a piece of heavy equipment. Fortunately, only a small bit was chipped off. Most travelers notice nothing amiss, and many guides leave the incident

unmentioned. (But I wonder: What would happen if Budweiser went to Mt. Rushmore and broke Thomas Jefferson’s nose?) Some experts have warned that foot traffic will destabilize the ruins, and some guides speculate that one day tourists may be restricted from direct access to the stones, as most Stonehenge visitors in England have been since 1978. But for now, if you grant yourself the time, you can roam. Most of Machu Picchu’s international visitors fly to the Peruvian capital, Lima, then to Cuzco, advance by car or bus to Ollantaytambo, then take a train to Aguas Calientes (about 70 miles from Cuzco), then take the 20-minute, 18-switchback bus ride to the ruins. But all buy their Machu Picchu entrance tickets ahead of time in Aguas Calientes or in Cuzco, or even earlier through a tour operator, because the keepers of Machu Picchu, the staff of Peru’s National Institute of Culture, don’t sell tickets on the mountaintop— they only collect them.

Given all the trouble it takes to get here, you’d think people might stay longer. But legions arrive at the ruins around 10 or 11 a.m., circle the complex for two or three hours, then head back to the train. If you are staying longer, 10 a.m. is your cue to step away for a few hours. Flop on the grass and nap. Join the buffet line in the cafeteria. You could make the two-hour roundtrip hike to the Sun Gate, where Inca Trail hikers get their first good view of the mountaintop ruins. Or you could take the trail to the Inca Bridge, a mostly flat path that takes only half an hour each way but will surely get your attention. Much of the trail is cut into a granite cliff face, and at points it narrows to 3 feet wide or so. There’s a rope along the wall to grab. But as with the rest of the mountaintop, there is only mist between you and the long drop to the smashing rapids. “It’s really cool to climb mountains and look down 6,000 feet to your death,” said Alex Schell, 13, of Cleveland, when we met on that trail. Strictly speaking, Alex stood about 1,500 feet above the valley floor. But who could argue with his
point? If you look at Andean natives and the landmarks their ancestors left behind, said Alex’s father, Scott Schell, it’s astonishing to think about “the ability of these very small people to make incredibly durable works of engineering. By hand. With carried stones.” Really, the whole Machu Picchu story is implausible. Working with neither the wheel nor a written language, the Incas built a 15th century empire that dominated South America, with masonry skilled enough to survive centuries of strong and frequent earthquakes. When the Spanish conquistadors showed up hungry for gold in the 1530s, there were fewer than 200 of them, but they had guns and horses and the luck to arrive during an Incan civil war. In short order, they seized and plundered the Incan empire—but somehow, it seems, they never found Machu Picchu. Flash forward 4 { centuries to Hiram Bingham, a swashbuckling 36-yearold academic on his way to eventually representing Connecticut in the U.S. Senate. There he stands by his guide atop the mountain, checking out the fitted stones, wondering wheth-
er anybody will believe him. “Fortunately,” he wrote later, “in this land where accuracy in reporting what one has seen is not a prevailing characteristic of travelers, I had a good camera and the sun was shining.” Bingham went back to the U.S., enlisted Yale and the National Geographic Society as sponsors, made an exploration and research deal with the Peruvian government, undertook a series of return trips and shipped to Yale dozens of crates holding thousands of artifacts, including pottery, stone tools and bones. By Bingham’s theory, Machu Picchu was where the Incas hid after the Spanish took power. These days, many experts think Bingham was wrong about that, and some say his book “Lost City of the Incas” has its own problems with accuracy. Yale archeologists Richard L. Burger and Lucy C. Salazar say Machu Picchu may have been built as a summer retreat for Pachacutec, the first ruler of the Incan empire. But Bingham is the one who put Peru on the cover of National Geographic. Once the government built a rail route to the base of the mountain (in the 1930s) and added a
bus route to the mountaintop (in about 1948), Machu Picchu was in business. As for those thousands of artifacts Bingham sent to New Haven, Yale kept them, to the annoyance of many Peruvians. In fact, Peruvian President Alan Garcia ventured into the streets of Lima last fall to lead protests against the university—and got results. Soon afterward, Yale agreed to return the items by the end of next year, and about 350 pieces are to be featured in a new museum (opening date uncertain) in Cuzco’s Casa Concha mansion. For proof of Machu Picchu’s enduring drawing power, look at Aguas Calientes. It’s still hemmed in by mountains and rivers and knitted together by footbridges and pedestrian passages, and there’s still no road out—just the train and an emergency helipad. But more than 70 restaurants now flourish, and at least two dozen lodgings and more souvenir stands than any traveler should have to count. The population has more than doubled in the last two decades. (As of 2007, it was 5,286, including surrounding areas.) In May, making my way from the train sta-
tion to the year-old Inkaterra El MaPi Hotel (great looks, spotty service, $200 a night), I was as wide-eyed as any firsttimer. In late January 2010, flooding had killed several people in town and shut Machu Picchu for all of February and March— the longest closure in decades. Fifteen months later, some repairs were still underway, but business was booming in the pleasant little plaza around the statue of Pachacutec. In the Pueblo Viejo restaurant, a Peruvian folk band had added a young expat Norwegian fiddler. French tourists ducked into El Indio Feliz, where you can get crepes. At the Machu Picchu Museum (formally, the Museo de Sitio Manuel Chavez Ballon) a mile outside town, half a dozen plumbers from New Zealand stared hard at diagrams of Incan engineering. “There’s your hydraulic system,” murmured one. To dodge the crowds in town and on the trail, some hikers now approach Machu Picchu from the more remote Salkantay Route. Others hike instead (with guides and mules) to the lonely ruins at Choquequirao, about 25 miles southwest of Machu Picchu.

Colorado’s Vail Valley entices families in the green season CONTRIBUTOR
AVON, Colorado— The air is thin. The people are fit. The children are extremely lucky. Colorado’s high-altitude Vail Valley offers the summer vacation some kids can only dream about. First, there’s the Beaver Creek Rodeo. Held Thursday nights in the summer in Avon, children not only see bucking broncos, they can get in on the act in the Calf Scramble (grabbing ribbons off the tails of calves) or Mutton kBustin’ (sheep riding). There’s the bungee trampoline, where kids are strapped into a bungee harness, then jump on the trampoline, bouncing higher than their parents’ tallest nightmares. “I did a double flip backwards,� says Karina Modlin, 3, who is spending the summer nearby. Fit kids and teens can do the Avon Ironkids Triathlon and Vail’s Tri America Tri Kids Triathlon, both in early September. The fun-based 2011 Vail Kids Adventure Race
is in August. (I told you people were super fit— did you think their kids would be slackers?) And there’s horseback riding. Mini-golf. And hiking the spectacular mountains at a breathless elevation of nearly 9,000 feet. “It’s better in the summer. The only thing you can’t do is ski,� says Kirk Nemer, 49, who splits his time between West Bloomfield, Mich., and Denver. He comes to Vail with his mother, sister, niece and nephew for fun, especially for the alpine slides at Breckenridge and hiking. Vail, Beaver Creek and nearby Breckenridge are known for their topnotch skiing, winter chichi glamour and stratospheric prices. Yet in the summer, things are slower and cheaper. Visitors can see lots of green, not just white. “It’s much more relaxed. When skiing in the winter, you are skiing and miss the full use of the resort,� says Megan Wilson of Denver, who is visiting Vail with her husband and
three children. The best age for a summer trip to the Vail Valley is when children are in elementary or middle school, she says. Hers are a bit too young for whitewater rafting or mountain biking. “There are some things they could not do,� she says. “But we’ve done movies, riding the bus, fishing, swimming, tennis ...� Her son T.J., 7, finishes her sentence, “And we hiked in the rain.� The McCann family of Denver is staying a week at the Park Hyatt at Beaver Creek—a condo with a kitchen, all the better for family meals with three children. Their interests are mini-golf, ice skating (yes, the outdoor rink is open year-round), hiking, biking and tubing. But Carrick McCann, 7, enjoys something even more at Beaver Creek. “Free cookies,� he says with enthusiasm. “There’s a cookie man who walks around and gives out free cookies at 3 o’clock ...� “Until they run out— about 3:05,� says his dad,
Sean. In Vail and Beaver Creek, a resort near Avon, it’s easy to find baby-sitting, day camps, baby equipment rentals and even nanny services in case Mom and Dad want to go off on their own. The services are not cheap— some day camps cost $100 a day; sitters are about $25 an hour. Andrea Modlin, 37, of
Hong Kong (she grew up in Denver) is spending the summer in Edwards, near Beaver Creek. Compared to the winter high season, “It’s not the same kind of crowds. You don’t have the loud parties or the college kids, and prices are a third of what they are in the winter,� she says. “It attracts a lot of people, though, who have been here in the win-
ter and wonder what summer is like. “This is not a cheap vacation, but there are things you can do with the kids that are free or cheap.� She recommends picking up the local free guide: “The Parents’ Handbook to the Vail Valley,� which includes coupons for things like free pony rides and discounts on sitters. For more ideas, she quer-
ies local waitresses about what they do with their own kids. Keeping activities the right size for small children is key, she says. “You don’t have to go on a four-mile hike,� she says. Just walking short trails is enough. They’ve tried the new movie theater in nearby Eagle. They like ice cream shops and bowling.

Expert tactics for handling household wildlife A s I was driving home, I heard the familiar tone of a new text message coming in. Being a law-abiding driver, I waited until I was home and in my kitch-
en before I pulled out the phone. The text read: “Mom be careful when you walk back in the house. There’s a squirrel.” A squirrel? Since I was already in said house, I screamed
ARIANA ORIENTAL RUG CO.
“WHERE?” and jumped onto the nearest chair. I wasn’t sure what squirrel panic protocol was, but since a squirrel is closely related to a mouse, I figured I needed to be off the floor.

My daughter came in, rather too relaxed, I think, and said, “There it is—on the mantel.” Sure enough, beside a plant, a painting and my daughter’s artwork was the terrified squirrel. “It was crawling over the painting before,” my daughter explained. “How did it get in?” I asked, stupidly, looking at the wide-open, glass sliding door. Then, I worried about our cat and her carnivorous take on the situation. “Where’s Mimi?” “She locked in my room. She was sitting down here watching. The squirrel was going nuts and shrieking—that’s what I heard.” The squirrel gave out another shriek. “That’s her bark,” my daughter said. “Well, how do we get it out?” Our household has experienced wildlife on the premises before. Our cat seems to like to bring in mice and birds as toys or presents. For mice, after we’ve all screamed for a bit, we get our bearings on the geography of the room, strategically block the escape routes and force it to
NUTSHELL
Shelley Nicholl confinement. The last time this happened was about a month ago and three minutes before we were to show prospective buyers our home. My daughter’s friend Ryan, who just happened to be in the wrong house at the wrong time, got forced into taking part in the covert manoeuvre. “I think it’s dead.” “It’s in shock…OH NO! It’s going into the living room…no the hallway.” “Chase it out the door!” We were at our organized best. “You hold it there. Don’t let it go upstairs and I’ll get the bucket,” I instructed. “MOOOOM. It’s going up the stairs.” “No, it’s just on the first stair.” “OK. Stay calm. Block the exits. I’ve got the bucket.” The bucket is the
hardest part. You have to get close to the mouse and quickly zap it over top. There is no margin of error. We, being a diplomatic family, put Ryan on bucket patrol. He was the calmest in the menacing situation. The mouse moved off the stair and Ryan got the bucket over the mouse. I secured it with 12 textbooks and a phone book. Everyone sighed. “Just leave it there,” I said. “Mice can’t live without water for 24 hours. It’ll be dead tomorrow.” I don’t want to know these mouse facts, but I do. My children looked at me. “You…you…can’t do that.” “What do you think I usually do?” Often the bucket is there for three days, just to be sure. “MOOOOM.” Suddenly, the children had tiny consciences or maybe they didn’t want guests to know we were murderers. “Well, you could slip a piece of cardboard underneath and take it outside – far, far, away, as in Peachland.” They looked at me. “I’m not doing it.” Sure, enough. Ryan got roped in. The mouse was free—psychologically scarred, but free. I admit, it was the moral choice and probably better to show the house without an unexplained bucket and stack of books. We are also adept at handling birds. Birds are a bit trickier because they have the element of flight, but they are much dumber than mice. Hunter Mimi brought a bird in recently and we watched as the little birdie jumped and fluttered up onto the windowsill and started pecking at the window.
Sure, it’s funny for a while, until you realize the bird will do this for 12 days before it figures out the window isn’t going to open into the wilds. We scared the bird into movement, so it flapped around the kitchen and then went to the hallway—the opposite direction of the two open doors. We quickly opened the front door a few feet away, but the bird, in its lack of wisdom, flew upstairs. We cornered the bird in the spare bedroom, pulled off the screen from the opening window, closed the door and hoped it would find its way out. By the next morning, the bird was still pecking at the glass of the window that didn’t open. It was finally out by the afternoon. The squirrel, however, was a bit different. “Maybe we should put out some food by the door,” my daughter suggested. I put a couple pieces of cat food by the open door and called, “Here, chippy, chippy,” apparently turning it into a chipmunk. “Chippy? His name is Wallace,” my daughter said. “Wallace?” She must have bonded with it more than I thought. We clapped and shouted to scare Wallace into movement and he quickly scampered off the mantel, onto the chair, gave a final shriek, and then exited the doorway. Clearly, the smartest animal we’ve dealt with.

Walmart seeks to raise $2.8 million for Red Cross While we like to think “it won’t happen to me,” thousands of Canadians needed disaster assistance from the Canadian Red Cross last year. Red Cross is here to help—but can’t do it alone. That’s why fundraisers like the Walmart campaign are so important.Walmart Canada is gearing up for a coastto-coast campaign to raise much-needed funds for local Canadian Red Cross disaster response activities. The campaign will run in Walmart stores from Aug. 4 to 31, with an ambitious national goal of $2.8 million and a combined provincial goal of $308,200 for B.C. and Yukon. “Funds raised will help the Canadian Red Cross to be prepared to provide assistance within hours of a disaster,” said David Magnuson-Ford, BC Fund development manager.

▼ PARKINSON SUPERWALK
Celebrate victory over adversity On Saturday, Sept. 10 in Waterfront Park, Kelowna will host the second annual Parkinson SuperWalk to raise funds for a cure and support services provided by Parkinson Society British Columbia. The society assists individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease across the province. The Parkinson SuperWalk is the society’s largest and most important fundraising national event of the year and takes place in 90 communities across Canada, 11 of which are in B.C. including Kelowna. The goals are to raise $325,000 in B.C. and $3 million nationally. Kelowna SuperWalk organizer Wendy Olinger, who lives with Parkinson’s disease, organized the first walk here last year, which raised $50,000. “I expected that only 20 people would show up but 300 joined us at the park,” Olinger said. “It was incredible and I was overwhelmed by the support of the community.” The Parkinson SuperWalk is considered a celebration of life and victory over adversity. Participants view this event as a “family affair” and show up to celebrate their personal heroes, like Bob Thompson. A long–time Kelowna resident, Thompson, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s six years ago. Since then, he has dedicated his skills, knowledge and energy to people living with Parkinson’s. He is currently the president of the Kelowna Parkinson’s Support Group and sits on the
PSBC board. “My career spans 30 years as a professional productivity coach, train-
er and public speaker” Thompson said. “I may have Parkinson’s, but it doesn’t have me.
“I continue to coach businesses and play golf as much as my energy allows.”

as part of the rural caucus meeting. One of Premier Christy Clark’s first initiatives when she took office was to establish British Columbia’s first group dedicated exclusively to the unique issues, challenges and opportunities facing northern and rural British Columbians. We decided to embark on a massive listening exercise, to meet with real people in these communities, and better understand their concerns. There isn’t enough space to get into everything I learned, but one meeting that comes to mind is fifth-generation ranchers Al and Bev Madler. Like all B.C. ranchers, the Madlers have faced a steep and steady decline in beef prices over the past nine years. The overall herd has decreased from about 400,000 to 300,000. The Madlers are appreciative of the support they’ve received from the provincial government—
Power outage a mystery
Ben Stewart but to get the herd back to historic numbers, they needed help. Not financial assistance, but regulatory change. Wolf populations are at historically high levels, and are killing unsustainable numbers of cattle. For ranchers, whose livelihood depends on their livestock, this is unacceptable. To help, the province announced new regulations on Wednesday in 10 management units in the Cariboo region, the area most affected. Another group I met that comes to mind is the Boundary Weed Manage-
ment Committee in Osoyoos. They’ve been working to educate the public about invasive plants— and coordinate management efforts. The efforts range from the basics, such as volunteer weed-pulling excursions and reseeding, to innovative programs like bio control insects. One significant problem species is puncturevine, a nasty-looking plant, so named because of its spikes which are capable of puncturing a tire. It’s not native to the region, and there’s no natural way of containing it. Efforts to combat invasive species can be successful with adequate support. You may have heard of napweed, the scourge of many a landowner in the Southern Interior. Efforts to control it have been incredibly successful—so successful, in fact, that the weed management committee is having trouble responding to all the requests.
Thousands of Glenmore residents found themselves briefly without power Wednesday morning, but FortisBC says it does not know why. FortisBC spokesman Neal Pobran said power went out for about 2,000 customers in the area of Glenmore Road and
Those are just two of many examples. It’s important to consult with rural and northern British Columbians because there simply isn’t the economic diversity of opportunity that exists in the Lower Mainland. Those opportunities that do exist must be vigorously protected, such as safeguarding cattle from predators, or farmland from aggressive and invasive weeds. Whether the issue is predators, invasive weeds, declining school enrolment, or delays in obtaining government approvals, the first and most effective step to addressing them is the same—to consult with the people on the ground dealing with these issues, and ask them what we can do to help them. There’s simply no substitute to meeting people face to face. Ben Stewart is the Liberal MLA for Westside-Kelowna. www.benstewartmla.bc.ca
Mountain Avenue around 8:15 a.m. and restored it for close to 1,800 customers 45 minutes later. As of mid-morning on Wednesday, power was still out for about 200 FortisBC customers, as efforts were underway to patrol the line looking for a source of the power outage.
Attention Seniors - Drivers Re-test and Cognitive Assessment – The Difference By Kate Wells, DriveWise BC As we age, we begin to recognize the physical changes that take place as we grow older. Along with, and as a result of these changes, we can also expect to experience some changes in our mental abilities. For some of us our ability to concentrate for long periods may diminish. Our ability to see at night can grow weaker and our overall awareness of our surroundings can become less sharp. All of these things can and do affect our abilities behind the wheel. These behaviors are cognitive and are tested differently from typical driving abilities. As we get further into our senior years, we may be called upon to take an ICBC drivers re-test to assess our driving fitness or we may be required to undergo a cognitive assessment. There are significant differences between the two. The ICBC driver re-test is focused on your driv-
ing skills and abilities to pilot your vehicle safely and is closer in nature to the driver’s test you would have taken to get your license originally. While it is a fairly simple process, BC’s test is considered one of most difficult in Canada. The process involves going out on the road (typically in your car) with an ICBC Driver Examiner and following their instructions and directions through a prescribed route. You are tested on all aspects of safe driving such as accurately observing speed limits and right-of-way, stopping at intersections, observing school and playground rules, parking, backing and more. The cognitive assessment is different altogether. It starts with a computer assessment of your cognitive abilities. You are required to watch a computer terminal display which shows a variety of visual scenarios. During each scenario, you either ‘touch’ the screen or click a button to ‘answer/react’. Each scenario tests a different cognitive ability. For some seniors, this can be a challenge and a little frightening if they have
not used a touch screen or had much experience with computers. Based on the results of your computer assessment you may be required to do an ‘on-road’ assessment to complete the process. This is similar to an ICBC road test as you will be accompanied by a qualified assessment officer and will be driving on public roads, but the one big difference is that you won’t be driving your own car. A vehicle equipped with a passenger side brake is supplied by the assessment company for insurance and liability reasons. This can be a difficult transition for some seniors. Perhaps the biggest difference between these two tests is that all of the skills required for the ICBC test can be improved with practice even as we age, but this is not so with the cognitive abilities. They are simply a product of the aging process and must be recognized as such. Understand that taking driver training and practicing for the ICBC test is very worthwhile, while trying to train for a cognitive test won’t change a thing.

Kia gives its stylish Optima a jolt Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
NANAIMO, B.C.: Kia likes to use as its slogan “The Power To Surprise.” Well, now that can be restated as “The Electric Power To Surprise” with the 2011 Optima Hybrid. With a number of innovations such as a lithium-ion polymer battery pack, the Optima Hybrid boasts more than 300 patents. It is possible to drive the Optima Hybrid at up to 100 km/h on battery power alone. The drivetrain is one of the first to follow what seems be the next step in hybrid technology. It consists of an engine coupled to an electric motor that feeds torque
to a six-speed automatic transmission. It does away with torque converters or CVT transmissions making for a simpler and lighter drive system. This is a full parallel hybrid system and can be driven in zero emission mode, and/ or in blended gas-electric mode. When the car comes to a stop and the electrical load is low, the engine shuts off to completely eliminate idle fuel consumption and emissions. The engine is a 2.4-litre twincam inline four-cylinder producing 166 hp and 154 lb/ft of torque. The electric motor has 40 hp and 151 lb/ft of torque for a combined 206 hp and 195 lb/ft of torque. Fuel consumption is rated See Kia B2

KIA HAS ADDED a hybrid to its mid-size Optima model lineup for 2011. It is can be driven at 100 km/h on battery power alone. It is shown painted in Light Platinum Graphite which is exclusive to the Optima Hybrid.

Kia Optima Hybrid battery holds charge 25 per cent longer Kia from B1 at 5.6/4.9L/100 km city/ highway.
The battery is the first lithium-ion polymer in the auto industry. Lithiumion holds a charge 25 per
cent longer than the nickel hydride batteries used in many other hybrid cars. With 30 kW of power,
the new polymer technology allows engineers to produced a smaller battery pack than its competitors,

operating at the same 270 volts as the electric traction motor and the lithium polymer battery. It is used only to start the engine and then to charge the hybrid battery and does not add any power. Almost everything that could be converted to electric power from power-robbing belts was done such as the Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system that instantly provides assistive torque only when it is needed during steering maneuvers. The Optima Hybrid also features an electrically driven air conditioning compressor so that climate control can be maintained in the cabin even when the engine is off. As with the electric power steering system, the electrically driven air conditioning compressor reduces the overall load on the powertrain, cutting fuel consumption; allowing for more precise, on-demand, control. Another interesting feature, in addition to aerodynamic measures such as underbody drag reduction, is an active air flap at the radiator that closes at 100 km/h to stop air from building up inside the engine bay. The drag coefficient resulting from all these efforts is just 0.26. The Optima Hybrid considered mid-size, it is actually closer to full-size. It is very handsome with the eye-catching lines penned by award-winning chief designer Peter Schreyer. One thing I hadn’t noticed before is a scallop along the top of the windshield that mimics that of the upper part of the front grille. That’s attention to detail. There are two versions of the car starting at $30,595 for the Hybrid and $35,495 or the Hybrid Premium with, as Kia says, comes “with every possible option.” On the left side of the instrument panel, the tachometer has been replaced by a round energy display called the Eco Guide. It is marvelously simple with a needle showing when the car is on battery or engine power or a combination of both. On the lower left spoke of the steering wheel is a little green button marked “Eco.” The Optima Hybrid operates in the energy conservation mode at all times unless the driver turns the Eco See Kia B3

This is a very enjoyable car to drive and, frankly, I almost forgot it was hybrid because of the way it felt and handled.

Volkswagen Eos is truly a four-season convertible Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
The Volkswagen Eos with its retractable hardtop has so much going for it.
So I’m surprised it doesn’t sell in greater numbers in Canada than it does.
Maybe our short topdown season turns a lot of potential buyers off. Why
spend money on a convertible when you only get to enjoy it a few months a

is all the more reason to buy a convertible. I want to enjoy every last minute of sunshine before the dreary winter months are upon us. In fact, the new breed of retractable hardtop convertible makes so much sense in our climate. It gives you the best of all worlds—a convertible in the nice weather and a hardtop coupe the rest of the year. And the Volkswagen Eos adds one more twist. It also has a power sunroof so that if you don’t want to drop the top entirely, you can go part way with just the flick of a switch to put the sunroof either in the tilt or open position. For the 2012 model year, the Eos has undergone its first major update since introduction in 2007. The basic shape is unchanged, but the front now features the wide VW signature grille, standard fog lamps and a new headlamp design. The rear gets LED taillights. Power still comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 200 hp and 207 lb/ft of torque. The engine is mated with a six-speed direct shift gearbox (DSG) with Tiptronic to allow for manual shifting. Because of the turbo, premium unleaded fuel is recommended. The weight of the new model has been trimmed 25 kg to 1,595 kg, which should give it added getup-and-go. The previous model did the 0-100 km/h run in about 7.9 seconds so the new one should be in the same range. Fuel economy ratings are 9.5L/100 km city and 6.7L/100 km highway. The Eos comes in two trim levels, Comfortline ($39,075) and Highline ($43,775). The Comfortline gets 17-inch alloy wheels, eight-way manually adjustable heated front seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake lever, rear park distance control, electronic stability control, Halogen projector headlamps, tire pressure monitoring system and an eight-speaker AM/FM/ CD sound system with single CD player (MP3 readable, iPod connectivity, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, climatic climate control and cruise control.

Retractable hardtop also features a power sunroof VW from B5 its beautiful stable mate, the Passat CC, but with the top down it is a very attractive car. With the top up, it tends to blend into the woodwork at bit and that may turn some buyers off. The rear quarters carry a high beltline, but not to the extent of some of the other retractable hardtops on the market. While there is seating for four, the back
seat is best used for small children or as an overflow cargo hold. Adults wouldn’t want to ride for long in the back seat. However, front seat room is spacious enough. With the top up, trunk capacity is 297 litres (10.5 cu ft.) but with the top down it shrinks to 186 litres (6.6 cu ft). On a recent trip up north to cottage country, we made great use of See VW B7

MOTORING VW from B6 the back seat to carry our bags and groceries for the weekend. It’s amazing how much you can pack into the car, even with such a small trunk. With the top up on the highway, the Eos is surprisingly quiet with few shakes and rattles that sometimes accompany a retractable hardtop. Top down, minor cowl shake is evident on tbumpy roads, but not so that it is alarming or irritating. And speaking of the top, it is a marvel of German precision with so fmany moving parts, that it often draws a crowd during the 25 seconds it takes to raise or lower it. The Eos is more of a touring car than a sports car—a pleasant place to spend a sunny, summer day on the road. If you want a bit more spirited driving, opt for the sport suspension, which tightens things up a bit and cuts down on the body roll in the corners. The suspension consists of McPherson struts with stabilizer bar up front and a four-link independent rear suspension with telescopic shock absorbers at the rear. This results a firm, but fairly comfortable ride, soaking up the bumps with relative ease. The power-assisted steering is also precise and predictable with a short turning
circle. This is more of a touring car than a sports car, but that’s certainly not a bad thing as the Eos can be a great road vehicle that churns up the kilometers in style. However, the rear window on the Eos is smallish and with the headrests in play, the visibility when reversing direction is restricted. Like all convertibles, the Eos has its limitations. But convertibles are what they are and for the money, you would be hard pressed to do better than the Eos. It provides the best of all worlds—a coupe in foul weather and convertible when the sun shines. Think of it as a convertible for all seasons.

Born December 15, 1930 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and passed away August 1, 2011 at Hospice House, Kelowna B.C at age 80. Shirley was a dearly beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, neighbour and friend to many throughout BC, Canada and the USA. She is survived by husband Bob, children Colin and Jocelyn, husband John Peters, sister Sharon Flett and brother Blake Spence and Blake’s wife Irene, and grandchildren Bronwyn, Seamus, Henry and Julian. Shirley was raised in Winnipeg by her parents Tom and Hazel Spence, graduated from the University of Manitoba in architecture, and was working in Vancouver when she met her future husband Bob. She and Bob married and moved to Kelowna almost 54 years ago in 1957, when Kelowna’s population was under 10,000 and we still crossed Okanagan Lake by ferry. Since then they have had happy homes in Kelowna on Christleton Avenue, Royal Avenue and Nassau Crescent. The family wishes to extend thanks to Dr. Williams and to the many doctors, nurses and others in health care through the years who have been so kind and caring for Shirley. Special thanks to those in the Kelowna General Hospital’s Ward 4B, the BC Cancer Agency, and Hospice House. A memorial service for Shirley will be held at St. Paul’s United Church on Tuesday August 9th, 2011 at 1:30 PM with Reverend Richard Chung officiating. For those so wishing we respectfully suggest a donation in lieu of flowers to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association.

CLARIDGE, ALLAN
April 13, 1924 - August 3, 2011 Allan was born on a British ship between Argentina and Britain, off the coast of Brazil, to William and Anna Claridge. He had an older brother Dick. In 1929, the Claridge family moved from Britain to Oyama where Allan’s Dad had a job lined up working on an orchard. On October 27, 1947 Allan married Elsie Tyrrell of Oyama. They had three children, Alana, Don and Candice. Allan and Elsie purchased their first orchard in the early fifties and later added two more orchards. They grew cherries, peaches, plums, prunes and apples. Allan has been involved in the Oyama Community Club, was chairman of the Oyama Cemetery Committee, President of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association for seven years, President of Canadian Horticultural Council, a member of the B.C. Land Commission for nine years, chairman of the Friends of May Bennett. He helped to keep a senior’s home open in Kelowna for ten years until it was closed. It is now a wellness centre. Daughter Candice married Cliff in 1978 and they have three children, Matthew (Cathryn), Adam (Chevonne) and Marleah (Ryan). Allan has been a knowledgeable boxing fan all his life and he is interested in the well being of other people. He worked hard all his life with his wife Elsie at his side. She became ill in early March 2010 and died three weeks later. They had been married for 62 years. Allan is a man of strong principles.
