Abortion stats will remain private

Emotions spill out in court at bail hearing

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

A bid by B.C. antiabortionists to have the number of abortions conducted at Kelowna General Hospital and Vancouver General Hospital each year made public has failed. B.C.’s Information and Privacy Office has told Campaign For Life Coalition British Columbia it will not hold an inquiry into the matter. The ruling effectively kills the coalition’s attempt to force pubic release of the numbers, which are protected by law under the province’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. “The office never even wanted to look into it,” said coalition spokesman Ted Gerk, of Kelowna. Gerk was critical of the two hospitals for arguing earlier this month, just as an inquiry was scheduled to proceed, that the number should be kept under wraps as a matter of public safety. The hospitals argued successfully that an inquiry should not be held. Gerk said that only gave his group four days See Private A10

Judge denies dangerous offender label be applied Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

The man who sexually attacked 10 women in Kelowna over a six month period, causing “substantial fear” in the community, has been named a long-term offender and sentenced to another five years and one month in prison. Judge Mark Takahashi, however, denied the Crown’s request to have Tyler Stephens, 22, named a dangerous offender, saying he can’t conclusively answer the question if Stephens will re-offend if released into the community. He needed to be satisfied on the balance of probabilities that Stephens would commit another offence, but said there was no answer to that question based on the evidence, noting also that Stephens is an untreated sex offender. Between May and November 2007, Stephens, a former Okanagan Sun football player, used his size and strength to overpower 10 women, mostly strangers, as he attacked them on 11 different occasions in the Kelowna area. In many of the cases, he grabbed women from behind in a choke hold

Tyler Stephens as they walked alone at night, covered their mouth to muffle their screams, punched them and groped their vaginal area. In some cases, he covered the victim’s or his head with a bag, and in several cases he attacked women in their home. In one case, he digitally penetrated a girl and in another committed sexual assault on a woman in her home. “The offences were grave,” Takahashi said. He praised the women for their courage as they fought off their attacker, “even though this monster was bigger.” “They must be commended as heroines… instrumental in saving themselves,” said Takahashi during the sentencing hearing Monday afternoon. Still, the psychological scars “can’t be underestimated” for the women he attacked, with

victims describing, in submissions to the judge, being afraid to be alone or leave the house and difficulty sleeping. As Takahashi read about how a woman, whose teeth Stephens broke, had not smiled since the attack, Stephens fought back tears as he sat in the prisoner’s box. Stephens was arrested for his first sexual assault in the fall of 2007 and given a conditional sentence. DNA provided following that sentencing led to him being charged with the three further sexual assaults causing bodily harm and six sexual assaults he was before the courts on this week. Because of the 10 convictions and Stephens’ ability to control himself in the long-term is substantially unknown, Takahashi ruled Stephens must be subject to the maximum term to be under long term supervision— 10 years. Takahashi also sentenced Stephens to five years and one month new time for the nine sex offences he hadn’t yet been sentenced for, after giving him credit for 32 month served awaiting sentencing. As well, he will be in the sex offender registry for 20 years.

COP COOK…

Instead of grilling suspects, RCMP Const. Steve Holmes was grilling hamburgers and hot dogs along with Daniel Bibby, general manager at the Delta Grand, at the Cops For Kids fundraiser held at Waterfront Park on Tuesday. Delta Grand employees and the RCMP got together for the event in support of Cops For Kids, a charity that assists children facing medical, physical or traumatic issues.

McKinnon wants to see pot growers nailed in the pocketbook Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s top cop is expressing frustration over what he perceives as short sentences handed down to local pot growers. Supt. Bill McKinnon ordered a review of court dispositions in 2008 and 2009 for people charged with production of a controlled substance and

found that of the 111 people in 81 grow operations whose court case has finished, 44 were found guilty. Ten of those 44 people were sentenced to jail time. “From a police perspective, I don’t think that’s enough,” McKinnon said Monday. “There has to be a bigger consequence.” According to the re-

search, the longest sentence was 15 months in jail—for a person who was sentenced to nine months in jail earlier in the time period. Three of the 10 people had no previous convictions, and two were given jail sentences of 90 days while the other was sentenced to 12 months. Twenty nine people were handed conditional

sentences, meaning they could be served at home. (They would serve the remainder of their sentence in jail if they breached the conditions they were to follow). Six were handed probation. Forfeitures were ordered for 38 of the 44 people—primarily caretakers of grow operations—that have been found guilty and sentenced, with one

case resulting in a home being seized. “I’d like to see more homes seized,” said McKinnon. “You have to hit them in the pocketbook.” The court records also show that a total of 48 cases were stayed, 12 people were acquitted and charges were dismissed against six people. McKinnon said he is trying to provide the community with

the facts in presenting the information, and was not using the press conference to lobby for change, although he feels more lengthy periods of incarceration are needed to deter pot growers. He also acknowledges local judges have a difficult job, noting they are held to account for the sentences they hand out by the appeal court.

Still, McKinnon feels it is worth going after grow operations, “when you (consider) all the other dangers to the public, I really believe it is.” He cites poisonous fumes, fires, electrocution, violence, increased crime, booby traps, higher utility costs, environmental damage and hazards to children as some dangers of grow operations.

W WILDLIFE

People warned to leave fawns alone and leash their dogs Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Well-intentioned people who come across apparently-abandoned fawns are warned not to touch them, because usually the mother is nearby. Dog owners are also warned to keep their animals on leash because newborn fawns are normally left by the mothers while they go off to feed—in order to protect them. The white spots along a fawn’s back mimic the

dappled shade where the animals are often left, and camouflage them. They know instinctively to be perfectly still until the doe returns, so as not to give away their presence to predators. Wildlife biologist Brian Harris with the environment ministry explains that the newborn fawns will lie low and stay quiet while their mother is away feeding, but she will return. “If her fawn is gone, having been picked up by a well-meaning human,

she will not breed again until next fall,” explained Harris. “In the meantime, the fawn must be taken care of, and no human can do as good a job as a doe deer can. “A fawn raised by humans often has no wild skills, so cannot be released to the wild. “Those that are released and survive, have lost their fear of humans and can become dangerous as they grow and become mature animals.” His advice is to leave

NEWBORN FAWNS are often left alone while the nearby mother is searching for food, making them susceptible to being stressed by off-leash dogs running on the loose in parks and bush areas.

them alone where they are and to keep dogs away from them. However, there are dog owners who use the trails in Knox Mountain Park who let their dogs off the leash, and that can have serious consequences. Park caretaker Mark Goddard said he saw an incident yesterday in which a dog chased a fawn and was barely cap-

tured in time to save the newborn’s life. It is illegal for dogs to be off-leash in the park, except in the fenced dog park located before the first hairpin turn, near the bottom of Knox Mountain. While there are signs reminding dog owners that their pets must be kept on a leash while in the park, some people com-

plain there aren’t many of them and they’re very small signs. Another Kelowna resident reported speaking to a couple who were carrying a fawn in Kelowna’s north end because they said it had been abandoned, but they could not be persuaded that it should have been left where it was. It is illegal to possess wildlife, including fawns.

If you see a fawn without a parent nearby, leave it alone for 24 hours. If it is still there, call the the toll-free Report All Poachers and Polluters line at: 1-877-952-7277 and report it. Adult deer can be quite aggressive in protecting their young if a dog or a human are threatening it. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Impaired driving suspect faces charges A 26-year-old Kelowna man is facing a number of criminal charges after being arrested for impaired driving Saturday night. Around 10 p.m. on Saturday, a red Chevrolet coupe was seen driving erratically in the Lake Country area, police say. Officers later spotted the vehicle

pulled over and spoke to the driver, who officers say was showing signs of alcohol impairment. The man allegedly blew three times the legal limit. Police also say the man had a small amount of cocaine in his vehicle and officers allegedly found a prohibited switchblade knife on

the man. The man has been released from custody pending a future court appearance, and faces recommended charges of impaired driving, driving with a blood alcohol level over .08, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Carrots are a root vegetable that originated in Afghanistan. They were purple red, white and yellow, but never orange. In the 16th century, Dutch carrot growers invented the orange carrot in honor of the House of Orange, the Dutch Royal Family. They did this by cross breeding pale yellow carrots with red carrots. The carrot soon caught on in England as both a food and a fashion accessory. Ladies would often use carrot tops to decorate their hats.

W DOWNTOWN KELOWNA

Council couldn’t unify behind CD-21 plan Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Whether disappointed, frustrated, or simply weary from years of work on a plan which ultimately failed, the faces around the council table Monday were decidedly sober. With a two and a half hour workshop—the fourth since January— winding up, the council voted 6-3 to dispose of the CD-21 Zone plan, closing the file for good on dreams of a comprehensive approach to redeveloping a four-block section of downtown directly behind City Park. “We have to conclude at some point and the way it was going today, I could see it really was still very split,” said Mayor Sharon Shepherd. The councillor whose comments seemed to turn the tides, Charlie Hodge, said he simply felt the entire three year process was too divisive.

He wanted to see the highrises included in the schematic moved back toward the centre of the downtown core, similar to what Coun. Robert Hobson had called for, creating a horseshoe effect with development. With the amount of tension in the community created by the plan, not to mention what he saw as the lack of will on behalf of city staff to “tweak” the drafts in this year’s workshop sessions, Hodge could not see any point in taking the discussions further—and said as such. “It was clear it was take it or leave it,” he said, noting he also could not accept the idea that building a bunch of buildings in the Lawrence and Leon corridor would change the issues on either street. For her part, the mayor said she believes those issues have really changed over the years and are quite different today than they were when

the plan was first conceived. Where public outcry once focused on the social agencies, she said the Gospel Mission’s decision not to build a large new facility, coupled with recent changes like the closure of the Drop-In Centre on Leon Avenue, have put malcontent over the homeless on a back burner, shifting the discussion to the nightclub scene. Monday morning council authorized another look at whether twolaning the two streets might resolve some of the dead zone the community is experiencing in the area and council is currently holding hearings on what the city should recommend to the Liquor Board on the nightlife in the entertainment district. “It seems like the push today is to really try and make the entertainment district a much safer place than people are really

Meanwhile, several members of the public gallery took a few moments Monday to celebrate. Vocal anti-CD-21 Zone activist John Zeger cheered as the final decision was made, in a move reminiscent of some of his jeering comments at public hearings. Seated a row away, Wally and Marietta Lightbody smiled politely. The three formed the bookends of a strong an-

ti-CD Zone movement that’s followed this plan at every step of the public process, the Lightbodys forming Very Concerned Citizens of Kelowna with friends. Zeger heading up his own group to rally support for petitions, at times on the lawn at city hall. Seated in between them, Mosaic Books owner Michael Neill said he too is happy with the decision as he never liked the height of the buildings in the plan, prefer-

ring to see that much density stepped back from the waterfront. He’s very happy the city can now move on with other ideas. “I felt it’s paralyzed the whole area,” he said. He said no one could really build in the surrounding blocks because they didn’t know whether they would get halfway through their project and find their customer base had migrated to new buildings approved in the CD Zone. “I’m excited that fi-

nally now we’ve put it to bed so we can do something that’s actually going to happen,” he said. Council voted to find funding for a complete redesign of downtown planning, with an eye to stepping the height back from the lake and following the design principles established for the CD Zone. Only Couns. André Blanleil, Kevin Craig and Graeme James refused to give in, voting to stay the course and support the CD-21 Zone to the end.

The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce issued a statement Tuesday calling council’s decision on the CD-21 Zone “irresponsible and regrettable.” In a statement released to the media, chamber CEO Weldon LeBlanc said the business organization believes public input over the course of the two-year public process had been “arbitrarily ignored.” “The opportunity to provide a long-term vision for the development of a core section of Kelowna’s downtown has now been brought to an end,” he said. “It is unacceptable that elected members of council have acted in such an arbitrary manner without the foresight into

the consequences of their decision.” The statement suggested the business community believes this council is “indecisive, unaccountable and has no clear vision of what development is in the best interest of the community.” “The recent decision by city council sends a strong message to the business community that, after investing significant moneys, gathering significant input from the public, and seeking the assistance of professionals and staff, the process can be arbitrarily terminated without consequence,” it reads. “The suggestion by one council member that, ‘I think we can do a better plan,’ is ludicrous and a fan-

tasy,” said chamber president Wesley Shields. “Given the inability of city council to agree on very basic principles of what development plan should be implemented, it is inconceivable that city council will be in a position to move forward with the development of the downtown core in the foreseeable future.” By contrast, Coun. Robert Hobson concluded Monday’s meeting by saying he’s not concerned that this will stymie downtown development. “I’ve been around long enough to see a couple of plans fail without the world coming to an end,” he said. “…We are going to see redevelopment downtown.”

Annual Kelowna Y event draws thousands The 5th annualYMCA Healthy Kids Day, presented by Interior Savings Credit Union last Sunday outside and inside the Kelowna Family Y facility in Rutland was a tremendous success. Perfect weather conditions brought out thousands of Kelowna residents who participated in over 45 activities geared towards helping them stay active and healthy, plus enjoyed free healthy barbecued and snacks, entertainment from PT the Clown, the Samba Brazilian Troupe, Drums Alive and Y fitness demonstrations. The title sponsor, Interior Savings, was very pleased with the event and supplied a team of volunteers who ran the barbecue, cooking turkey hotdogs for the masses. “We recognize the positive impact both the Y organization as a whole, and the Healthy Kids Day event, have on encouraging and developing active, healthy families in our community. We are proud to partner with the

STAFF REPORTER

As it approaches its fifth anniversary, UBC Okanagan has released new stats showing that it hasn’t quite attracted the number of students it predicted it would by 2010. The university officially opened on July 4, 2005, and the following September 3,516 students enrolled at the university. The B.C. government had hoped at the time that the university would see 7,500 students enrolling each year by 2010, said UBCO spokesman Bud

Mortenson. However, the university won’t reach that goal in September, with figures showing 6,128 students enrolled in 2009 and growth averaging between 10 and 11 per cent annually. However, Mortenson said that in one way it might be better that student growth is occurring at a slower pace. “We certainly wanted to see that target reached, but space wise it’s a good thing it’s taking longer because of pacing and being able to construct facilities fast enough,” said

Mortenson. “Some of the projects, because of the construction boom, were delayed because of things like not being able to get enough concrete at the start, for example, or not being able to get enough workers. “If we had hit 7,500 students by 2009, or 2010, we would have been overburdened trying to provide space for all students.” Three additional facilities––Engineering and Management, Arts and Sciences Two and Health Sciences buildings–– should be finished within the next year, providing

additional space for future students. Meanwhile, Mortenson said the university has surpassed other five-year benchmarks.Among them is the number of graduate students within the overall student population. The target for 2010 was 500, according to dean of graduate studies, Dr. Marvin Krank. “The head count for September will probably be 550 or 560,” said Krank. “We have grown more rapidly than almost anything else on campus. Undergraduates are growing,

but not as fast as we hoped they would.” Mortenson said another impressive number is UBC Okanagan’s impact on the local economy. “UBC Okanagan’s campus has an operating budget of $89 million. Including research grants and other external funds, this campus has expenditures of over $100 million annually,” he stated. A September 2009 economic impact analysis estimated that the spinoffs from that budget were more than $1 billion, compared to an original estimate of $380 million.

Turner Avenue home exposed as marijuana grow op Police are searching for the person responsible for a large grow operation busted in Peachland on Friday. Around 1:20 p.m., of-

ficers armed with a drug search warrant arrived at a home in the 6100-block of Turner Avenue. “Inside the residence, police located a very large

and sophisticated marijuana growing operation,” said Const. Steve Holmes. More than 4800 plant were seized; half were clones and the other have

Police also say the home contained a hydro bypass. No one was at the home when police arrived, and police are now looking for the resident.

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

W VERNON TRAFFIC ACCIDENT

Hand grenade found in ammo bag

Kelowna woman killed in fatal collision

A Kelowna cabbie was robbed early Tuesday morning when his fare told him he had a gun and demanded cash. The incident happened just after 2 a.m. in the 400block of Hein Road. “The suspect ran away with a small amount of cash as the shaken victim called police,” said Const. Steve Holmes. However, police say they quickly located the suspect after a police dog tracked him to a nearby residence. The 21-year-old Kelowna man was arrested without incident and police say no gun was located. The suspect is facing a charge of robbery and has been released on a promise to appear in court in August. A condition of his release is that he not use any taxi service.

“Two were injured, taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital, treated and released,” said Molendyk. “The other two were not injured in the accident.” Police believe the occupants of the van are also from the Kelowna area.

The highway was closed for about 30 minutes, then opened to single-lane traffic while a traffic analyst and the coroner investigated. Police are asking anybody who witnessed the accident to contact them at 250-545-7171.

Police say a man who came across a bag containing ammunition and a hand grenade did the right thing by calling police. The man was cleaning a relative’s home in the 1100-block of Hillcrest Street Monday night when he discovered the bag in the basement. The man wasn’t sure if the device was still live or not, so he called police, who in turn called the Navy Ordnance Disposal Unit to retrieve the device. “The grenade was taken to a gravel pit on Union Road and safely destroyed in a controlled explosion,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “The complainant did the right thing by not handling the device and by calling police to have it dealt with safely and properly,” said Holmes. Deactivated military equipment, such as grenades, may not show obvious signs of deactivation, and should be treated as live until proven otherwise by those trained to deal with them, he added.

Highway 97 was closed for nearly 30 minutes following a fatal accident Monday in Vernon. Shortly after 5 p.m., emergency crews were called to a fatal two-vehicle collision at Bailey Road.

Councillor’s resignation triggers by-election Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

The protest-motivated resignation of a Peachland councillor last month will force a fall by-election, according to Mayor Keith Fielding. The mayor said he is disappointed in Ernie Hurd’s decision to resign May 29, based on the outcome of Peachland’s May 15 curling rink referendum. Fielding said the resignation would trig-

ger a by-election as early as September and add an unexpected cost to the municipality of between $10,000 and $12,000. “I’m inclined to send the bill to councillor Hurd,” said Fielding. Fielding said council would miss Hurd’s ideas and contributions. “He’s his own person. He’s got his own reasons for resigning and he’s exercising a right, but I would have preferred he could have found a way to respect the decision of the ADVERTORIAL

W LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS

Sundowner Meats: A family affair One Lake Country family is living out their roots by turning their traditional ranching lifestyle into a fullfledged business – and loving it. Uwe Lauterbacher, with the help of his youngest son, Tom, runs Sundowner Meats in Lake Country. The operation of the meat shop on Beaver Lake Road is a full-time commitment for Uwe, who puts in up to 14 hours a day, six days a week just at the retail shop. But this isn’t his only obligation. The Lauterbacher family owns a farm on Old Mission Road where they have taken in everything from cows to sheep, and even yaks. From there, the animals are taken to slaughter in Salmon Arm to sell as custom cuts from the retail and wholesale meat shop in Lake Country. The ranching business at home is a full-time job in itself, which is why Uwe has been thankful for his son Cody’s help. “Cody is my full-time rancher,” Uwe says. He’s wherever I ask him to be. Without him I’d be done right now.” The family also owns a herd of buffalo that are roaming on an acreage in Northern Alberta. Uwe contracts out people to care for the buffalo and to feed them to his specifications. Then every three weeks, Uwe takes his stock trailer to pick up eight or nine of them to bring to the slaughterhouse in Salmon Arm. When asked if he ever gets a day off, Uwe

replies that every third weekend is his “ranching holiday,” when he leaves to pick up the buffalo. “I leave at 3 p.m. Saturday, and cover 1900 km by the time I

get to Salmon Arm on Sunday around 8 p.m.,” he says. “It’s a good run.” Uwe came to Canada 37 years ago from Germany to work as a butcher at the age of 18. He started working at Okanagan Sausage in Oyama, where he met his future wife, Monika, who worked at Okanagan Sausage as a housekeeper and who had also come from Germany to work in

Canada. “The only way you could immigrate into Canada back in the 70’s was if your trade met what Canada needed,” Uwe says. “My wife

was in business, but she had to come in as a housekeeper, since that’s what was needed then.” Monika has since followed her dream as a chef and is now the executive chef at Coast Capri in Kelowna. Their youngest son, Tom, has followed the family business and works at the shop in the deli, as well as on the processing end. Uwe attributes his initial entry into Canada

to his knowledge of traditional European cuisine and practices. He takes pride that he still practices the same traditional European traits of meat production, from using “homegrown,” free-range meat to using a minimal amount of preservatives and absolutely no filler, hormones or antibiotics. He started his own business, Sundowner Meats, 13 years ago, and says he is now looking to expand the retail side of his business. Both Cody and Tom are training to become RCMP officers and are awaiting their acceptance into the Force. Cody knows that one day he will want a ranch of his own. “This is where it’s at,” Cody says, as he watches his horses graze the sweeping pasture at Sundowner Ranch. “It’s very rewarding... there are no words to describe what this life means to us. We couldn’t imagine a different lifestyle.”

referendum without saying to voters they got it wrong.” Fielding mentioned all of council, not just Hurd, supported a plan to borrow $1.3 million toward the cost of building a $3.9-million curling rink on Sixth Street. The other $2.6 million was to come from a federal/provincial grant. Peachland reported that 1,303 people voted against the plan, while 633 were in favour. However, Fielding said the rest of council was able to move on. “It went to electors and they’ve spoken clearly and we have to respect that,” Fielding added. However, Hurd mentioned the curling rink was only one of a series of issues that led to his resignation. “It was the hair that broke the camels back,” said Hurd. “I actually took a leave of absence as soon as the referendum decision happened. “The more I sat at home and thought about it the more I felt I should go. I wasn’t having any fun anymore.”

Hurd said the decision boiled down to Peachland’s slow pace of progress and the community’s historically adverse reaction to building things for youth, including a skateboard park proposal. “It’s a protest resignation. Peachland won’t be much of anything if everything we bring forward for public scrutiny gets shot down.” Hurd said people have called him a quitter and a caver since he resigned two weeks ago. “I’m not a quitter; I’m a realist. I still have a lot to offer but not at this time,” said Hurd. “One of my comments on a Peachland blog was, ‘I guess running for mayor next time is out of the question,’ putting some levity into a serious conversation.” Council was expected to formally receive Hurd’s letter of resignation at its council meeting Tuesday night. However, the resignation was technically effective May 29, according to corporate services director Polly Palmer. “The resignation letter is effective the moment

it’s received by the corporate officer, which is me, and the resignation is considered immediate and irrevocable.” Under provincial legislation, a municipality is obligated to hold a by-election if a councillor resigns his seat before July 1 on an election year, which in this case would be 2011, said Palmer. The legislation states the municipality must hold the by-election as soon as possible after the resignation and within 80 days after a chief elections officer is appointed. Peachland council is expected to receive a byelection report at its June 22 meeting and Palmer said she would recommend the officer be appointed within a timeframe that would allow voters to go to the polls in September or October. “We always try to avoid summer because there are just not as many people in town and we want to avoid having a nomination period or election when fewer residents are around. That’s the theory.” jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

Pro life group given setback Private from A1 to respond. But he said his group will not give up on its quest and will try to “educate” MLAs about the need to be open with the numbers. He said he hopes the next time the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy legislation is changed, the number of abortions conducted at the 34 hospitals in B.C. where it is offered will be excluded from protection. While the exact number at KGH remains secret, earlier this year a top-level administrator with Interior Health has said about 700 abortions are conducted here each year. Mary Jane Cullen, community administrator for the Central Okanagan,

told the now-defunct Kelowna.com Internet news site while KGH is the only hospital in the Interior Health Authority region that offers regular abortion services, they are available at other hospitals within IHA as well. Vernon’s Jubilee Hospital, Kimberley and District Hospital, Kootenay Lake District Hospital, Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, Trail Regional Hospital, and Golden and District General Hospital are all listed by the government as facilities mandated to provide the service. The clinic at KGH opened in 2000 after abortion became a government-mandated core medical service under the former NDP government. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Treoscope security tool adopted by three local bars Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

A group of patrons that spotted a new security system at a Kelowna bar decided to go elsewhere on the weekend—and caused damage during a brawl at the other local bar that didn’t have the Treoscope security system. Three Kelowna bars— Rose’s, Level and Doc Willoughby’s—have recently installed the new security system, which police say allows drinking establishments to effectively identify patrons entering their establishment and leads to enhanced safety for patrons and staff. The use of Treoscope in Kelowna was discussed several years ago, but was held up as a privacy commission inquiry looked into issues with the system. Those privacy issues have since been resolved, said Const. Steve Holmes. The system allows for authentication of identification from the mag stripe on the back of, for example, a driver’s licence when it is swiped through the system. This can help bars identify underage drinkers. The system also captures a three second video of the patron as they pass through the gateway at the entry of the bar. Treoscope also allows drinking establishments to flag problem patrons and share that information with other establishments using the system. “A study of the systems, in place in many establishments in the Lower

W PEACHLAND MURDER

Victim’s uncle voices frustration at bail hearing process Emotion from A1 Police officers were brought in to help sheriffs with security for the bail hearing yesterday as more people tried to attend the hearing than there was room for in the 130-seat courtroom. Those who attended court were subject to search. The courtroom was filled with family and friends of both the victim and the accused, who appeared to be crying when she was brought into the courtroom at the beginning of the hearing. As the hearing wrapped up and the judge outlined the conditions of release, an uncle of Ashlee Hyatt began to question the judge, and later called the decision a “f_ ing joke.” As part of the accused’s release on a $10,000 recognizance provided by two sureties, the accused must remain in her home

Police are able to confirm that a body found floating under the dock on Okanagan Lake over the weekend was that of a young woman. “The investigation is still ongoing as to determining the identity,” said Const. Steve Holmes. Around noon on Saturday, workers replacing decking at the marina located at the foot of Queensway Avenue discovered a body floating under the dock. Police believe the body had been in Okanagan Lake “for some period of time.” An autopsy was done Tuesday, leading to the determination that the body was that of a woman.

Brain research sends student to Australia Mike Simmons STAFF REPORTER

Research into how the brain processes emotion is sending psychology undergraduate Andrew Hughes across the world. Along with two other students from UBC campuses, Hughes was selected to attend the U21 Undergraduate Research Conference in Melbourne, Australia. The three students received an award from UBC Go Global that covers the cost of the trip. There, he will present his research on the hemi-

spheres of the brain and how they work separately and together when dealing with emotions. “Last summer, I did some research on how the brain processes emotion.” Hughes was looking at the separate hemispheres of the brain, examining how they work together to process emotion and what their differences are. He noted the left hemisphere is dominant for positive emotion, and the right hemisphere is dominant for negative emotion. Hughes said different participants in the re-

search study were put in front of a computer, with emotion-tinged pictures such as a cute image of puppies flashing quickly in front of them. He noted the subjects would have to respond as fast and as accurately as possible about how the picture made them feel. Hughes added the study also had a flashing light on either side which would distract a single one of the brain hemispheres. He noted that the brain’s automatic orienting reflex causes attention to be focused on something if there is an abrupt change in the visual environment. Past research in this

area had just measured the brain’s reaction by presenting images to a single hemisphere at a time, placing the images in the left or right visual field. “That’s not really representative of how we do things in the real world,” said Hughes. He said the research group changed the study by putting the image in the centre and adding distractions. The research has moved on to showing images of emotional faces to participants and seeing if there are any type of effects on processing emotion. “Most of it is really basic research for the most part, just feeding our

curiosity about the mind,” said Hughes. He pointed out there are cases where people receive damage to the right brain hemisphere, which is associated with negative emotions. The people become euphoric and happy, and do not care about their brain damage. Hughes added that when the left hemisphere of the brain is damaged, people can become grumpy or mean. The conference brings together researchers across many disciplines who are under 21 years old. The selection process was competitive, with students competing from both the Okanagan and Vancouver campuses of UBC. Hughes has been going through the application process for a long time, but said he enjoys the research. “It’s been a good long two and a half years coming.” msimmons@kelownacapnews.com

The Kelowna Yatch Club has struck a deal with the municipality to establish several new rows of slips over the course of the next six years. The agreement nearly doubles the number of slips available, with 1000 spaces by 2015. Council spent a significant amount of time debating whether development of Stuart Park, and the new riparian area they’re establishing along the waterfront, would require two rows of slips to be torn out and rebuilt at the end of the wharf at taxpayer expense. At the conclusion of the discussion, it was decided the city would have to assume the responsibility, as per the terms negotiated by city staff. The agreement means some 62 wait listed boat owners will see slips added for their boat this year, with 110 to follow next year and 130 the next. The entire arrangement required approval of the province before it could move forward.

Huska behind the bench for Canadian junior team Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Ryan Huska has long been intrigued by the notion of representing his country in international competition. The Kelowna Rockets head coach will get that chance this December in Buffalo. Huska was named Monday as one of three assistants on the Canadian coaching staff for the 2011 World Junior Hockey Championship beginning Dec. 26. The head coach will be Dave Cameron of the OHL’s Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors, while Bob Boughner of the Windsor Spitfires and André Tourigny of the QMJHL’s Rouyn-Noranda Huskies are the other assistants. “I applied for an assistant coaching position anywhere within Hockey Canada and I’m thrilled this is the one they chose me for,” said Huska. “It’s

an amazing opportunity and I’ve been keen on doing this for quite a few years now. It’s exciting to get a chance to work with some great coaches and our country’s top players.” Other than a twogame stint as an assistant with Team WHL during last year’s Subway Series against Russia, Huska has no previous international experience. He does, however, have plenty of big-game experience having attended seven Memorial Cup tournaments—three as a player with the Kamloops Blazers and four as a coach with the Kelowna Rockets. “I thought maybe I would get passed over because of that lack of experience, but I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of two very good organizations,” said Huska, who has a 120-78-513 record in three seasons as Rocket’s head coach. “I was never good enough as a player to make it, but to

Huska will be the fourth Rockets coach to serve Canada’s national junior program. Mar-

To follow in their footsteps carries plenty of significance for Huska. “I look back at everything I learned from Marc and Jeff, and they’re a big reason I’m getting this opportunity,” said Huska, who also credits Rockets

GM Bruce Hamilton for opening the door for such an opporunity. “Bruce has allowed his coaches to go in the past and it’s a big sacrifice for the team to have guys away for a month or more. He’s very supportive of his coaches doing this.” When the world junior championship begins this December Huska hopes to have another member of the Kelowna Rockets alongside—defenceman Tyson Barrie. “I sure hope Tyson will be there, but of course I’m a little partial,” Huska said. “I’ve had the chance to watch him the last couple of years and I know what he can do. It would be great for him if gets the chance to play at that level.” The Canadian junior team’s summer evaluation camp will be held in August at a site which has yet to be finalized. The 2011 WJHC is set for Dec. 26, 2010 to Jan.5, 2011 in Buffalo.

When the high school rugby season kicked off, coach Dave Marfleet couldn’t have conceived of a better outcome for his Kelowna Owls. KSS equalled the school’s best finish of the last two decades with a sixth-place showing at the 2010 B.C. AAA boys rugby championship in Abbotsford. “The boys’ goal at the start of the year was to see if we could crack the top 10, so this is beyond my wildest dreams to be sixth,” said Marfleet. “It’s nice to see the hard work and commitment be rewarded. It was a total team

The Owls, who went into 2010 provincials ranked 12th, pulled off a colossal upset in the opening round beating No. 5 Earl Marriott 15-14 May 29 in Kamloops. In the quarterfinals last Wednesday in Abby, Kelowna met its match in the pouring rain losing 34-0 to No. 4 Oak Bay, but then rebounded nicely a day later with a 2826 win over ninth-ranked Robert Bateman.

It wasn’t precisely the desired colour, but the Immaculata Mustangs have won a medal for the fourth straight year at the B.C. high school girls A soccer championship. The B.C. champs from 2007 to 2009, the Mustangs settled for bronze this year at the provincial tournament in Abbotsford. Immaculata defeated Ashcroft 3-0 on Saturday afternoon in the third-place game. Spencer Knapp, Katie Roberts and Georgia Macaulay scored for the Mustangs while Jorgia Van de Sype posted the shutout. The Mustangs won their pool with a 3-0 record, but their drive for four straight provincial titles was derailed by a 2-0 loss to Glenlyon Norfolk in the crossover playoff game on Friday. Still, it was another stellar year for Mustangs soccer in the eyes of the Immaculata coaching staff. “After winning three provincials in

a row the girls had to settle for a bronze medal this year,” said Mustangs coach Brian Drosdovech. “The future looks bright with the girls returning and the quality of young players coming up.” Georgia Macaulay won the Commissioner 11 award as Immaculata’s top player. The Mustangs are: Katie Roberts, Jorgia Van de Sype, Becca Mlikotic, Erin Grant, Sarah Casorso, Georgia Macaulay, Michelle Dreher, and Felicia Herron, Spencer Knapp and Nadine Odermatt, Justine Drosdovech and Hannah Frison, Siobhan Fitzpatrick, Olivia Johnson, Megan Jeffries, Leaghan Penkala, Theresa King, Sarah Day, Rhea Virk, Alannah Macaulay, Hannah Johnson and Maggie Frison. Meanwhile, the Kelowna Christian Knights finished up in sixth place following a 1-0 loss to Southridge on Saturday. KCS finished second in its pool with a 2-1 record, then defeated West Point Grey 2-1 in the crossover playoff game.

Bears 4th in B.C. soccer Ok A’s Even with only 11 players available for their final game, the Mt. Boucherie Bears battled to the end at the B.C. high school girls AAA soccer championship. The Bears finished in fourth place in their first ever trip to provincials losing Saturday afternoon to Fleetwood Park. Boucherie was without all seven of its Grade 12 players on Saturday in Victoria due to graduation ceremonies back in West Kelowna. “The girls we had really played quite well,” said Bears’ coach Adrian Zuyderduyn. “We knew we were going to be without a lot of our players at

the end. There’s no way they were going to miss grad, so we just dealt with it the best we could. We had a good week.” With all of their players in the lineup, the Bears showed themselves to be legitimate medal contenders early in the tournament by winning their pool with a 2-0-1 record while scoring 10 goals. In the opening game of the playoffs Boucherie lost 3-0 to Argyle, the eventual silver medal winners. The Bears then came up short 1-0 against Fleetwood Park and one of the top goalkeepers in B.C. Still, the Bears broke new ground this season,

winning the school’s first ever Okanagan Valley title last month. For coach Zuyderduyn, a fourthplace effort at provincials capped off a successful year. “We made huge strides this year,” he said. “For them to go into that tournament and finish first in their pool is a great accomplishment. To follow up the valley title with fourth at provincials is great for our program.” Grade 11 player Kenzie Byrnes led the Bears in scoring with five of her team’s 10 goals. Byrnes was also named the winner of the Commissioner’s Award as Boucherie’s top player.

Studs, rain take down Jays t

Neither the Seattle Studs nor the weather showed a hint of mercy to the Kelowna Jays in Pacific International League action. On Saturday, the hometown Studs ripped the Jays in both ends of a doubleheader 10-1 and 11-1. Then on Sunday, Kelowna had no chance to make amends as their twin bill with the Everett Merchants was rained out.

The Jays were missing four key regulars from the lineup, while their pitching staff was less than stellar as both starters, Ashton Fiorko and Ryan Patterson, were roughed up by the Studs. The bright spot for pitching was Blake Young who was effective in relief in both games. The Jays bats struggled against Seattle’s pitching staff, one of the best in the Pacific Northwest.

Bret Sanguin had two hits, while Cody Valgardson and Keenan Takatch each had doubles. The Jays return to Okanagan Major Baseball League action tonight (Wednesday) as they host the Vernon Diamondbacks under the new lights at Elks Stadium. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Kelowna returns to PIL action Saturday when they host the Langley Blaze at Boucherie Park.

Kelowna Raiders visit Vernon Tigers in senior lacrosse action The Kelowna Raiders look to solidify their hold on second spot in the Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League when they visit the Vernon Tigers on Thursday night. Face-off at Wesbild Centre is 7:30 p.m. The Raiders (4-3) are coming off a characterbuilding 5-4 win over the

Rattlers Friday night in Kamloops. Kelowna—with just 14 runners in the lineup— put on a sold defensive display, winning most of the loose ball battles and limiting the Rattlers’ big shooters to few opportunities. Kelowna’s corps of rookies stepped up with

Jordan Innes, Jared MacLennan, Deryk McPhail and Braden Renner each scoring a goal. Jarrett Niegum scored the other Raiders marker, while Cory Fearon earned the win with some key saves in goal. The Raiders were understaffed due in part to some suspensions handed

down last week as the result of a post-game scuffle against the Armstrong Shamrocks May 28. Kelowna’s Ryan Wickert served a onegame penalty for his part in the fracas, while Victor Wiens was tagged with a three-game suspension for being the third man in. Raiders trainer Dan

Proulx received a twogame suspension for a gross misconduct for verbal abuse of an official. The Raiders next home game is Friday, June 18 at home to Kamloops.

JUNIOR LACROSSE

The Kelowna Warriors and South Okanagan Flames will do battle

Thursday night in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action. Game time at Memorial Arena is 7:30 p.m. The Warriors—in the third spot in TOJLL with a 5-3-1 mark—are coming off an 8-5 loss to the first-place Vernon Tigers on Saturday at Wesbild Centre. Kelowna was without the services of five players, including two if its big

guns in Brad Deshane and Scott Renner. Tyler French led the Warriors with a hat-trick, while Kurt Deschner added a pair. Meanwhile, the Rutland Raiders lost their third straight on Sunday night, 10-3 to the Kamloops Rattlers. The Raiders (2-7-1) will host the Kamloops Venom on Saturday (7:30 p.m.) at Memorial Arena.

W TRAIL BIKE RACING

Kamikaze race 6JbX[ <QJ[XW <QNYQN[M

The Kelowna Cycle’s K-Town Kamikaze Super D Event is set for Saturday, June 13. The second annual cycling race at MyraBellevue Provincial Park in Crawford will cover the same course as last year— starting from the KVR drop-in, to Vapour trial, traversing on the Pink Highway to the Connector and finishing at the bottom parking lot area. Individual racers will start at pre-determined times with one-minute intervals between racers. The runs will be timed and the winner in each category will be determined

by the fastest time. There will be men’s and ladies adult, and under-16 youth categories with appropriate course routing for skill levels. There will be prizes and a barbecue following the race. To register or for more information, visit kelownacycle.ca. The Super D event is being staged on the same weekend that the K-Town Classic has traditionally been held. But the K-Town race was cancelled this year due to the absence of a race director.

The 2010 Fat Cat Festival and parade will take place on Friday and Saturday June 11 and 12. The parade starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday at the corner of Richter Street and Bernard Avenue.

W JIM HOLE

Visiting speaker to talk about all things on topic of gardening

few years ago when I was in charge of the speaker lineup at the Guisachan Garden Show, I had arranged to have Lois Hole honour us with her presence. At the time, Lois had just been appointed lieutenant-governor of Alberta, which caused her to have to cancel several previously planned engagements, including the one

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett at Guisachan. As much of a disappointment the cancelation was, it gave me the chance to meet her son

Jim Hole, who she sent as her replacement. Even though his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boots were challenging to fill, Jim obviously was etching out his own place in gardening history. His talk was insightful and entertaining. When I heard recently he is booked to speak in Kelowna again, I immediately put the date on my calendar and encour-

age all gardeners to do the same and spend an evening with Jim as he separates fact from fiction passed down through the ages, often leading gardeners astray. His talk takes place Monday, July 12, 7 p.m., at 1353 Richter St. Ample free parking is available and the fee to get in is $5 per person at the door. For more information call 250-769-2836. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ It finally looks as if we will get some tomato weather and with it will come some common tomato cultural concerns. Below are a couple of issues and how to resolve them.

apply to the soil around plant; spray fruit at golf ball size.

TOMATO HORN WORM

Very large (10 cm) green larvae found on tomato leaves and branches starting in early July. Horn worms are voracious eaters and can consume large amounts of both foliage and fruit. The adults are fast flying hawk moths, which in flight are sometimes mistaken for hummingbirds. They have a wingspan of about 12 cm. Horn worms overwinter as dark brown pupae in the soil. Adults emerge in late spring and deposit spherical eggs on the undersides of tomato leaves. In five days hatching occurs and the larvae molt four or five times, reaching full development in three to four weeks. Control

Hand picking horn worms is a very practical control measure. Sevin dust will give good control if the larvae are small. Bio Control Bacillus Thuringiensis at label rates. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ A final reminder of the St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 81st annual Flower Show and Tea happening on June 12, 2 to 4 p.m., 4619 Lakeshore Rd.

Resetting the toilet need Termites can be tricky foes because not be an intimidating task they can go undetected for years Sam Erickson CONTRIBUTOR

If you have plans to change the flooring in your bathroom, you will have to handle the toilet. Many people actually turn to contractors or other professionals because they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure they can handle the plumbing challenges that come with changing the floor design. Resetting a toilet requires a new closet flange and a reliable seal. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also need some help moving your toilet in and out of the bathroom, but you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let a little work prevent you from restoring your bathroom. You can put any kind of floor in your bathroom, regardless of its height. Whether you want thin laminate flooring or a thick Moroccan tile, all you have to do is follow a simple procedure to make sure your toilet works and is set up properly to keep your house free of leaks, damage and odor. A toilet should be set in a particular way. If it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stable, and, worse, it will probably leak, which over time can rot the floor out from underneath the bathroom. You might need an extender, a ring that can be stacked on top of the flange to raise the height. When buildings are constructed, the plumber roughs in the pipe where the toilet goes. After the floor has been in-

stalled, a closet flange is put in place. This is a good way to get a strong seal between the toilet base and the flange. These kits are available at every plumbing supply or home supply store. Experts there can also provide you with some guidance. If the top of the closet flange is too low, something that often happens when a different layer of floor is put in, the wax ring will not be able to provide a good seal. The ring is very important because it prevents sewer gases from coming back in and polluting your home. The toilet might rock as a consequence. If the flange is too high, the toilet wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit firmly. One clue that your flange is too high is that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to tighten all of the bolts down. When you are ready and your floor is complete, just drop the toilet onto the flange until it rests evenly. Tighten the bolts surrounding the toilet, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be set and ready to go. These have been the methods that have been used for many years now, but if you have an older home, you may encounter something different when you are doing your home repair. You really can have the bathroom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dreaming of, no matter what obstacles are in your way. Go ahead and add that new floor when you are restoring your favourite bathroom to fit with your overall dĂŠcor.

Create your own shady retreat Take a drive around Kelowna and you come across a lot of beautiful gardens. In addition to lush green lawns, brilliant flower beds and spectacular fountains, many of the gardens you visited featured well-designed arbors and pergolas. Although the terms are sometimes confused, arbors and pergolas are quite different in design. Arbors tend to be small freestanding structures that provide visitors with a shaded area to sit down. They are often made of wood and feature an arched roof. Vines

may or may not wind up the arbor. Pergolas, on the other hand, are much larger in scale and consist of four pillars supporting a crosshatch of beams over a terrace, patio, pool or walkway. They can be freestanding or connected to another building. Vines are generally trained to climb up the pillars and onto the beams to provide abundant shade and privacy. Pergolas can be made of variety of materials from stone to wood. Older, more prominent pergolas, in fact, are often made of stone.

Because the material is so expensive and difficult to work with, however, few homeowners today use stone to build their pergolas. Wood is the more common choice, specifically weather-resistant varieties like red cedar and redwood. Gardeners who are interested in installing an arbor or pergola in their landscape will find a number of design plans and kits. The more complex the design of the structure, the more it will cost. Gardeners on a budget will definitely want to do some comparison shopping.

Sam Erickson CONTRIBUTOR

Termites is a dreaded term for every homeowner. It sends fear into the hearts of everyone that pays a mortgage. Many people say that there are really only two kinds of homes: Those that currently have termites and those that will. If you are restoring an old home, you might not have an active infestation of termites, but there is probably evidence that the house has had them sometime in the past. Termites can be tricky because they can go undetected for a long time while doing significant damage to your home. The key to effective termite control is early treatment. The best way to prevent termite damage is to reduce the likelihood they will ever get into your home. Termites need moisture to survive. To get this, they need access to the ground outside, unless there is a consistent leak inside the house. One way to go about this is to remove any vegetation or soil that covers the foundation completely. If there is contact between these moisturerich environments and the foundation, you are invit-

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

TERMITES NEED MOISTURE TO SURVIVE. TO GET THIS, THEY NEED ACCESS TO THE GROUND OUTSIDE, UNLESS THERE IS A CONSISTENT LEAK INSIDE THE HOUSE.

ing bugs into your home. Any wood in contact with the soil, like deck supports, latticework, fences or retaining walls, should be replaced with treated materials. This may seem like a lot of work, but it will save you money in the long run. Firewood or other lumber should be stored well away from the house. This is a haven for termites and other bugs. Another way to reduce your exposure to termites is to reduce your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exposure to moisture. Maintain your gutters and repair any leaks in the roof as soon as possible. Keep pipes and plumbing in good repair at all times. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about your crawl space, which can be a haven for moisture. If you see signs of ter-

mites, your best bet is to contact the exterminator who helped you out of the last time. They will know where to go to handle your problem. Exterminators will not apply chemicals unless there is an active infestation, so you will have to do a visual inspection. If you can arrange it, inspect the home with your exterminator so you can get the inside scoop. An exterminator will usually inject a chemical into the ground to create a coating the termites will

have to pass through. The will kill the termites as they are going to and from their food source. Termites are a persistent problem. With good maintenance and attention to detail, you can keep your home safe from those hungry beasts. Termites are a major problem, but if you are vigilant with your protection, you might be able to beat the old axiom that there are only two kinds of housesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;those that have termites and those that will.

Regulating ATV irresponsibility

here were more than 4,000 hospital visits due to ATV-related injuries in 2004/05, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Children less than 16 years of age account for almost onethird of ATV injury-related emergency department visits and 30 per cent or more of ATV injury hospitalizations, according to the Canadian Pediatric Society. Almost half of all ATV deaths occur in children under

the age of 16. Those chilling statistics should be foremost in the minds of all parents who allow their young children to ride motorized off-road machines. Yet, it seems in many cases, those facts are unknown, or simply disregarded. Hence, some medical professionals and children’s health organizations feel there should be age restrictions on the use of offroad vehicles (ORV). The concept of more government regulation rankles many

250-763-3212

people, particularly those who participate in these sorts of activities with the right training, precautions, and safety equipment. The provincial government appears to agree—it’s not considering age limits on ORV use, but it is about to introduce laws next year making helmet use mandatory, as well as adult supervision for young riders, who also must be aboard machines appropriately sized and powered for their age and weight, and travelling at re-

duced speeds. You’d think that such regulation wouldn’t be necessary. Caring parents would ensure their children are following such basic safety measures, wouldn’t they? Who would let their kids climb onto a steel machine capable of high speeds, in rough terrain, without so much as a helmet? Sadly, the statistics tell us, quite a few. So often, regulations are made necessary by the irresponsible.

Counto the growing pile of failures it has cil members argued and then argued amassed over the years grappling with some more. Developer Phil Milroy, what to do about its downtown core. who owns the site of the former WilThis plan, which affected a fourlow Inn at Queensway Avenue and block radius around the foot of BerMill Street and whose plans prompted

the proposed zone, sank an estimated $1 million into study after study but still the city could not move forward. Faces at the council table changed in the last election and the CD-21 zone found itself bogged down even deeper in the mud of political argument. This was a plan that was dead in the water a year ago. But the problem was no one at City Hall wanted to admit that. The planners kept planning but council could not make a decision. So in the end, council did all it could do. It cut and ran. And in doing so, it has re-opened downtown to a continuation of the

piecemeal redevelopment that has been a feature in that area for the last 20 years. The CD-21 zone was not the answer to the perceived problems that plague Kelowna’s downtown core but it did provide the first real chance in many years of find an answer. In the past, the city has been quick to say when it comes to planning, it’s not about how long it takes but rather about doing it right. In this case, it succeeded in the former and failed in the latter. In the past any vision the city has had for its downtown has been abandoned after the plans were drawn up.

This time it’s hard to see any vision at all—at least not one that’s shared by more than a couple of councillors at best. So it’s back to square one. As an aside, it was fitting that the councillor who proposed the motion to kill the CD-21 zone was Charlie Hodge. He writes a column for this newspaper called Hodge Podge. That’s exactly the type of development the city can now look forward to downtown. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor for the Capital News. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Writer could save government millions To the editor: Subject: MP’s misuse of expense accounts. So, our federal representatives have an effective and efficient “watch dog” checking their expenses and certainly do not need or want Ms. Fraser (auditor general Sheila Fraser) looking at the paper trail. They tried a lot of dances to get her to back off, but thankfully she hung in there, and already they are blushing and claiming “ignorance” of the rules, but they sure pocketed the money, they wrongly received. News item: MP’s buy homes, put them in a relative’s name then bill ac-

commodation to their expense accounts, use the expense money to pay the mortgage, then sell the home for a profit. Nice work if you don’t get caught. Like on a recent morning’s talk-back radio show, I want the government to go after refunding the illegally gotten money plus interest from “ignorant” MPs screwing the tax-payers. Also, the government should be receiving $2.1 million plus interest from Mulroney for his lying testimony, plus put him in jail for perjury. Paul Martin evaded taxes for his shipping

company and pocketed the tax money for many years and nothing happened to him. But let an ordinary hard-working Canadian citizen get caught screwing the government, and repayment will be gotten even by putting you into bankruptcy, selling your assets and garnisheeing your income, as well as seeing some of the world through bars. But government officials, especially elected ones, have a different law and mind-set that they live by—ask the MPs, Martin and Mulroney (catch me if you can then let me go free, pay me for lying and covering up

so I can do it again, having learnt more of how). Do MPs Ron Cannan and Stockwell Day really feel hard done by have a radio talk show host call them and have them come on his show and explain themselves, then ask them some tough questions or open the phone lines up so the listeners (voters) can ask the questions. Don’t cut anyone off for calling them what they really are. Take no ‘soft ball calls’ from family members and relatives, or people that get paid by them. If Sockwell Day was really serious about fighting the deficit, which he was put in charge of, he

would hire me. I’ll save him and the government $10 million every year that I’m paid to find savings for the government, without cutting any needed services—health care, provincial transfers, education or pensions. And it will only cost my expenses plus $25 per hour, oops working for the government $250/hr. max for a minimum contract of 1000 hours/year—cheaper than an MP and taxable too. Anybody, willing to bet I don’t get asked to back up my claim?

W TRAFFIC

It’s not the driver who’s bad, it’s the road To the editor: Everyone states that we are terrible drivers in the Okanagan. I put forth that we are not terrible drivers but frustrated drivers trying to travel on a road system that is ill conceived and ridiculously designed. Harvey Avenue, or Highway 97 as it is known on the Westside, lacks left hand and right hand turn lanes which is so frustrating. The lack of light directed lefts on Harvey, is just bloody dangerous. The HOV lane is a friggin’ joke designed to further frustrate any driver trying to get from anywhere to anywhere else in this town without constantly being trapped in long lines of traffic that move so slowly. It has effectively reduced the lanes from three to two. Furthermore, older people (which, as everyone knows, is a higher proportion of our population than is the norm) generally have a more difficult time lane changing due to reduced eyesight, ability to turn their necks to shoulder check, and slower reaction time. They are now forced to make lane changes that they are un-

comfortable making, thus halting traffic entirely. My mother, who actually has a depth perception problem (not unusual), prefers to stay in the right hand lane to avoid lane changes, that is no longer an option. Furthermore, how is the right hand lane ever going to be the fastest lane if everyone is either entering or leaving that lane, thus predicating a slowing down of the vehicle. Cripes, a preschooler on a tricycle could have figured that one out. I was, briefly, really excited to read that the timing of lights along Harvey was being examined for greater traffic flow off of the bridge. Are you kidding? A little longer for the green. The overall timing of the lights is the problem not just the length of the lights. If you are stopped at Water you end up stopping at every damn light after the bridge—EVERY LIGHT, not just one, EVERYONE including Ellis which is shut down for through-traffic. (In my opinion Ellis should not have lights or be a through road.) Then, to top things off, we finally get a bloody

big five lane bridge (hah, another stupid idea) that looks and drives like a freeway, and lo and behold the powers that be put an absolutely ridiculously slow speed limit on the bridge which, by the way, they stated they would review the speed limit after the first year. Where is the review? I do not think that we are terrible drivers because we do not adhere to this speed limit. I believe it is a stupid speed limit and we are all driving according to the ability of the roadway to accommodate the ability of our vehicles. Surely the thousands of drivers who cross the bridge every day are not wrong about the proper speed limit on the bridge, which is around 80 km/h. Which is another point that needs to be made. I do not think engineers of road systems are taking into consideration the advanced technology embedded into the overall structure and mechanics of newer vehicles. ABS brakes, four-wheel drive, etc. I believe that we drive in Kelowna like rebellious children, who have had to put up with an overly re-

strictive and unresponsive parent—the Ministry of Transportation—who seems deaf to our complaints and needs. Therefore, as any psychologist and historian knows, when a citizenry feels that things are unfair and unwarranted they collectively start to bend the rules to accommodate their needs. We are the rats in the maze created by the Ministry of Transportation and are responding to the road system by running red lights, making last minute left hand turns, pulling out into oncoming traffic and speeding. This is indicative of general frustration

with an inadequate and poorly designed roadway system. I do not drive beyond the ability of my vehicle to manage the roadway, nor do I put others at risk, but the road system in Kelowna does that every day due to its flawed design, lack of exit lanes and light directed left hand turn lanes. Improve the traffic flow, be realistic regarding speed limits, and the rats in the maze will respond accordingly by driving with less frustration. Paula Cryderman, West Kelowna

Flood construction levels define the lowest level that a habitable floor of a building can be constructed to ensure the highest level of protection in the event of a major flood. This protocol ensures greater certainty when securing construction costs in the short term, and will provide for long-term financial stability due to decreased property damage if disaster strikes.

As weather conditions are not expected to be good over the next two days, the Regional District of Central Okanagan has cancelled the planned June 9 tussock moth aerial pesticide spray application. In consultation with the B.C. Ministry of Forests and Range, the regional district has decided to now try aerial spraying for tussock moth management on Friday, June

The area sprayed with the licensed pesticide Foray48B (active ingredient Btk), if weather conditions are good on Friday, will be Stephen’s Coyote Ridge Regional Park and adjacent private properties that have provided consent in the north Glenmore area of the City of Kelowna. In keeping with our planned procedure, notification will now be con-

W TRAFFIC SAFETY

Child passenger safety stressed June is BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation’s Child Passenger Safety Month in B.C. In 2008 the foundation declared June to be Child Passenger Safety Month as a campaign to increase public awareness about the importance of keeping children safe while they are riding in a vehicle. Car crashes are the leading cause of accidental death among children in B.C. Each year in this province, over 1,300 children, roughly equivalent of five elementary schools, under the age of nine are injured or killed in motor vehicle collisions. A correctly installed and used child car seat can reduce the risk of injury and death by up to 85 per cent. Although the province has not done a recent compliance survey, Marg Deibert, child passenger safety program manager for the foundation, says that overall, drivers are following the safety regulations for children under nine years, especially in the use of booster seats. While this is good news, Deibert says that there are still drivers out there that are compromising the safety of the children in their vehicles by not using proper child restraints. “A 2008 study conducted by ICBC, showed that while booster seat use has significantly increased, almost 20 per cent of the children using a seat belt should have been in a booster seat,” Deibert said. “Those are the people that we really need to reach.” New parents know that they cannot leave the hospital with their newborn without a proper infant car seat, but as the child grows, they may not know what the next stage is. The foundation wants parents to learn how to keep their child safe in a vehicle. That is why they start-

ed running new parent workshops that address questions about child passenger safety. The educational workshops are one to two hours and are designed to help expecting parents and parents of newborns become more familiar with the correct use and installation of infant car seats.

For joining us Sunday at the YMCA Healthy Kids Day!

‘‘

EACH YEAR IN THIS PROVINCE, OVER 1,300 CHILDREN… UNDER THE AGE OF NINE ARE INJURED OR KILLED IN MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISIONS.

Participants learn about child seat laws; how to disassemble and reassemble their infant seat; how to harness the child properly; and how to correctly use and install the seat in their vehicle. New parents have so much to think about and they receive information from various sources, which isn’t always correct, according to Deibert. Parents can also access information on the foundation’s website or call their toll free information line to speak with a certified child passenger safety educator or find out when there will be a workshop or child car seat check happening in their community. In B.C. all drivers are responsible for transporting all children in a secure age and weight-appropriate child car seat or booster seat until their 9th birthday or reach 145 centimeters (4-foot-9) in height. For more information visit the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation’s child passenger safety website, ChildSeatInfo.ca or call the Child Seat Info line toll free at 1-877-2475551.

Location move for downtown home styling business STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart This week’s column is dedicated to Ian Greenwood, who passed away last week. I have known Ian for many years, dating back to his Sun-Rype and B.C. Tree Fruits days. My personal condolences go out to his family and many friends.

unktional, has moved from its former Ellis Street location to 447 Bernard Ave. In business for over nine years and owned by Chantal Couture, the store has a great selection of home styling items and contemporary gifts for your friends and you. Some of the unique items you will find in the shop are the Guzzini line of bread boxes, cookie jars and magazine holders in the fun and funky colours of bright green and orange. I had never seen anything quite like them. Another really neat item was the Udon Noodle Bowls made in Vancouver, in an assortment of many modern colours, complete with chop sticks. Along with local art, there are so many fun items in the store; you should give yourself lots of time to browse. Call 250-763-0477. ICBC manager Danny Moores has transferred to Victoria as claims centre manager. He has been working in Victoria since March and has now accepted the position full-time. Moores was very involved in our local community, having chaired the United Way Campaign in both 2007 and 2008, successfully reaching the goal of over $1 million both years. D&D Dining 4 Six Services, owned and op-

erated by Debbie Marshall and Don Norel, is a new singles dinner membership club for dining/ dating. It offers a unique opportunity to meet new people in a comfortable environment. They arrange for three single men and three single women to dine on Fridays and/or Saturdays at various restaurants in our city with their preferences to age groups, interests and cuisine. The chosen restaurants for each week will be posted on the company’s website and members can e-mail or call D&D for the dinner(s) they wish to attend and they then make all the arrangements. This is something new for Kelowna singles. Check out www. dd-dining4six.com; call 250-765-3041. After 37 years with School District 23, Brenda Bell is retiring June 30. Presently, she is literacy coordinator at Hollywood Road School. Bell has held many positions during her long tenure with the school district— a classroom teacher, vice-principal, learning assistant’s teacher and a teacher/consultant with the severe behaviour program, to mention a few. Bell is a member of the Kelowna Mission Rotary Club. Her husband Graham is also retired so now they can keep each other company. Robert Melle is also retiring after 20 years with School District 23 on June 30. Melle was at RSS for 16 years, OKM for one year and has been at KSS for the past three years. He would like to invite all his former students to keep in touch with him and will now have lots of time to build his hot rods. Kudos to Students in Free Enterprise-Okanagan (SIFE) on receiving the Spirit of Kelowna Award for their recent first place win as the Okanagan College’s Green Team in the SIFE National Challenge in Calgary.

Debit card machine swapping scheme leads to guilty plea Cheryl Wierda STAFF REPORTER

A Montreal man who

served as a distractor in a debit card machine swapping scheme has been given a 150 day jail sen-

kelownacapnews.com

We’ve got it all! news weather business horoscopes weather tv listings lottery numbers

Ibrahim was involved in 10 other later point of sale terminal swaps which took place at fast food restaurants and movie theatres around closing time. The intent, he said, was to return at opening the following morning and put the original point of sale terminal back, but this time equipped with a blue tooth which would allow for pin and credit card information to be stolen. On at least two occasions, the blue tooth capable point of sale terminal was successfully installed, said Stabler.

Charges related to the 10 thefts or attempted thefts of pin pads, aside from the Abbotsford offence Ibrahim pleaded guilty to, were stayed yesterday. Ibrahim’s arrest came on April 15 in Kelowna and the court heard he had a simulated bank machine card slot with a skimmer, a point of sale terminal and several blue tooth at the time of his arrest. Crown had asked for a year in jail and defence suggested time served and probation for the first time offender who is working toward a business admin-

istration degree. “It’s the first time for me and if you could give me a chance,” Ibrahim told the judge through a French interpreter. “I want to start a new life.” Sinclair called the offences “serious” and noted they could cost people a lot of money. However, he noted Ibrahim’s guilty plea, lack of record and young age and decided to impose a sentence “in the middle” of what Crown and defence suggested. Ibrahim was sentenced to 150 days in jail with double credit for the 54 days he has already

served, meaning he has 42 days left. After that sentence is complete, he will be subject to an 18 month probation order that bars him from being in B.C. He is also not not allowed to possess any instrument, device or computer program/application capable of or intended to be used to covertly intercept or transmit credit card data. Another man who played a “peripheral” role in the scheme was sentenced last month to 90 days jail and 18 months probation. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

Grants enhance community partnerships in health research Four research grants of $10,000 each have been awarded by the Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention (IHLCDP) at UBC’s Okanagan campus to support collaborative community research projects aimed at improving the health and well-being of Okanagan residents. The projects address community issues such as: • Preventing marijuana and tobacco use among middle school students • Improving the quality

of life for obese people awaiting laparoscopic gastric banding surgery • Enhancing mobility of older adults in rural communities • Improving the health and well-being of men who have sex with men in the Interior The money was given as part of the IHLCDP Research Interest Group (RIG) Grant Initiative. “I think that it’s really a win-win,” said IHLDCP director Joan Bottorff. “The university provides people who have

particular skills, knowledge and research interests that are to the advantage of community members who have issues or questions they want to explore. “And people in the community have extensive knowledge and expertise about community issues—specifically in regards to what’s needed, what’s relevant and what’s possible—that can feed into that research.” The objectives of the IHLCDP RIG grants are to strengthen existing col-

laborations between researchers and individuals while stimulating the development of new collaborations between academic researchers and individuals based in the community. In addition, they aim to build capacity for community-based health promotion research, foster the use of knowledge in ways that benefit individuals, families and communities, and reduce the burden of chronic disease. “In many ways research on healthy living

and chronic disease prevention isn’t the kind of research that can be done in a lab on campus,” says Bottorff. “The community is our laboratory, and collaborations are essential if we want to address relevant community issues and make the research applicable.” For more information contact the Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention at 250-807-8072 or see the website www.ubc. ca/okanagan/ihlcdp.

Is the battle against war-zone sex simply unwinnable? S ome employers actively discourage intimate relationships between employees. No employer seems to take this approach as far as the military. A Canadian Press story this week spoke of the Canadian military’s “blanket ban on soldiers engaging in intimate relationships in a war zone.” The story quoted some experts calling this rule an “unwinnable fight against human nature.” This discussion comes on the heels of the dismissal of Brigadier General Daniel Menard from duties in Afghanistan. Menard is alleged to have engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a female soldier. Clinical sex therapist Sue McGarvie said that soldiers “are in an incredibly difficult situation and looking for comfort and we are expecting them to be automatons. “You cannot fight it: You put adults together in any situation and you’re going to have sex and intimacy.” As adults, the reality is that many of us spend the majority of our waking hours at work—the workplace is our primary venue for social interaction. Surveys have indicated that over one-half of employees have been ro-

LEGAL EASE

Robert Smithson mantically involved with a co-worker and almost one-fifth of employees met their spouse at work. So, an employer seeking to prevent personal relationships between employees may only succeed in forcing them to be carried on in secrecy. It is, however, expected that an employer will exercise its disciplinary authority when couples’ activities stray over into misconduct. This may be especially noticeable upon a breakdown in the relationship, when residual hostilities can be destructive to workplace harmony. The most important context in which employers seek to regulate office relationships is between supervisors and subordinates. It is well established that the employer has a legitimate interest in knowing about, and taking reasonable steps to control or prevent, these situations. The problem with the supervisor-subordinate romance is the power im-

balance between the two. The prospect that the supervisor may abuse his or her authority in the course of the relationship is of great concern to employers. For example, a supervisor who is in the position of assessing the partner’s performance, adjusting his or her salary, or making decisions about promotions is a supervisor who is simply not able to act objectively. And there is always the prospect that this position of power will be used in a negative way when the relationship ends. Regardless, the blanket sex ban applicable to members of the military seems particularly harsh. Our soldiers are expected to live in close quarters, in remote locations, away from home for months at a time. They are placed in the most stressful of circumstances and they are largely confined to a base along with their co-workers. In this setting, can we expect them to be celibate? Even the notorious Captain Bligh (perhaps history’s worst boss, military or non-military— anyone up for a keelhauling?) allowed his crew members a degree of sexual freedom during their

visit to Tahiti in 1778. (Admittedly, the subsequent mutiny on The Bounty may be a prime example of why sex and war aren’t a good mix.) It seems that the “fraternization” rule is considered necessary to uphold discipline. That may be the case, but even military organizations need to keep up with the times and it seems anachronistic to adhere to the notion that adults can’t do their job and have sex (though, perhaps, not at the same time).

W UBC OKANAGAN

Faculty of management and Sauder School form an alliance The Faculty of Management at UBC’s Okanagan campus and the Sauder School of Business at UBC’s Vancouver campus have established an alliance that will further open doors for research innovation, resource efficiencies, career service expansion and student opportunities. The alliance capitalizes on each faculty’s unique strengths—the heritage of business education at the Vancouver campus and the culture of innovation at the Okanagan campus. “We are building upon the synergies between two established faculties, and there is tremendous potential for cross-pollination between two vibrant

campus cultures,” said Doug Owram, deputy vice-chancellor of UBC’s Okanagan campus. “This means enhanced opportunities for students on both campuses, and a platform for new relationships with the B.C. business community.” The alliance is anchored by the recent appointment of a cross-campus dean of business and management. Daniel F. Muzyka, Dean and RBC Financial Group Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Sauder School of Business, takes on the role of Dean of the Faculty of Management. Muzyka notes that the new alliance between UBC’s business and management faculties will

help focus resources at the provincial, national and international levels. “UBC is the umbrella under which business education at both campuses will grow,” said Muzyka. “While sharing UBC’s and Sauder’s commitment to excellence in business education, the Faculty of Management can become a global leader in distinctive areas such as service management, hotel and tourism, and small business and enterprise.” Muzyka will be assisted by a cross-campus executive whose role is to ensure consultation and realization of partnership possibilities. Key areas of collaboration will include research, career services and co-operative educa-

Society (CRIS) runs every day of the summer. Event organizers selected the new “Hassie House” log building at the trailhead of Phase II of the Mission Creek Greenway as the start and finish line location. The Kelowna-based

not-profit will use the lower level of the Hassie House to run their programs and promote inclusion on regional park trails. The group is expected to have access to the new building in the next month.

The revolution of exchange traded funds Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have quickly gained momentum in the investment marketplace with their increased portfolio transparency, lower fees than mutual funds, and easy access to a broad range of market and sectors. The tremendous growth in ETFs has been driven in part by their low fees, in comparison to the average mutual fund in their category. Canadian investors can now tap into a powerful line up of ETFs, purchased though a large well known mutual fund company. The offering is a suite of corporate class mutual funds wrapped around an underlying ETF. The mutual fund industry now combines the benefits of active management with the exchange

traded fund. This is now seen as a solution to investors who want to benefit from the ETF evolution, and benefit from lower fees compared with the traditional mutual fund in a RRSP or RRIF. A lower MER means you keep more money in your pocket reducing fees paid to the mutual fund company. This follows the trend of the country’s large pension funds, who use an index component, as well as individually selected stocks, bonds and other

Clients can get into a mutual fund ETF with smaller contribution amounts, and can contribute monthly with a preauthorized chequing plan. If you buy an ETF on the Toronto Stock Exchange, they are created and offered as mutual fund trusts.

Demystifying concerns First scholarship created for about West Nile Virus UBC southern medical program

est Nile Virus was first isolated in an adult female mosquito in the West Nile district of Uganda in 1937. Outbreaks of WVN in humans have been infrequent with the most notable outbreaks occurring in Egypt in the 1950s and South Africa in 1974. While WNV was first identified in North America in birds in New York in 1999, in which 65 cases were reported, over the next several years the virus spread south and west. In 2000, there were only 17 cases with one death. According to the Centre for Disease Control in Atlanta, most often, WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes are WNV carriers that become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread WNV to humans and other animals when they bite. WNV is not spread through casual contact such as touching or kissing a person with the virus. Approximately 80 per cent of people who are infected with WNV will not show any symptoms at all. Less than 20 per cent of the people who become infected will display symptoms such as fever, headache, and body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. In less than one per cent of the cases where people are infected with WNV is it a serious heath concern. People typically develop symptoms between three and 14 days after the infected mosquito bites them. There is no specific treatment for WNV infection. In cases with milder symptoms, people experience symptoms such as fever and aches that pass on their own. In more severe cases, such as WNV encephalitis that includes high fever, severe headache, possible muscle weakness and confusion, the infected person should seek medical care as soon as possible. Kids with normal im-

FINDING REMEDIES

John Sherman mune systems usually get just a mild “flu-like” illness, and may not feel bad at all with the infection. Sometimes the media reports on WNV based on what will create the most dramatic story. I have seen the news reports on TV which leave you with the impression that swarms of vicious mosquitoes were going to cross over the border this year and wipe us all out. I seem to remember back in the ‘70s the swarms of killer bees that were going to cross over the U.S. border and sting people to death. These are just sensationalized stories. Do we really need to add one more worry or fear to our lives? Homeopathy is a viable treatment option for WNV as the common symptoms are not unlike the flu, which homeo-

pathic remedies can be very effective against. There are a number of potential homeopathic remedies for WNV. I am sure that some well-meaning pharmaceutical company somewhere is working on a vaccine. Researchers have already come up with a DNA vaccine, which is scary enough; they tested it on fish crows. There was no difference in immunity reaction in the placebo group or vaccinated group. At this time of year, it is a good idea to have a first-aid kit on hand with some homeopathic firstaid measures as well. And while it is important to be prepared for any emergency you might encounter outdoors this summer, do not live in fear of any potential “infestation” of mosquitoes or otherwise that may be harbouring a disease. Consider the risk, look at the truth, open the door and walk outside—it is not that bad. John Sherman is a professional classical Kelowna homeopath.

Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR

You know when you’re driving during the summer and that perfect song comes on that makes you feel like you’re in a movie (or at least makes you smile)? In my books, any good summer day has to be accompanied by good music. Whether it be driving to the beach, lounging at the beach, starting up the BBQ, or, for those unfortunate souls, working, everyone needs some good music to follow them around all summer. With the popularity of social networking sites sky rocketing, it’s easy to share as much music you want with as many people you want. The mix tape is basically dead since most people don’t even own a cassette player anymore and the mix CD is slowly heading that way as well seeing as how it’s becoming a rarity for people to buy CDs. Enter playlist.com, a website to discover and listen to free music online, create playlists, and, of course, share it all on your favourite social networks. Although the site had its run-ins with copyright laws a few years back, it has since reached an agreement with a few of the larger music distribution companies in regards to the file-sharing that the playlists link to. I enjoy going through the countless playlists and listening to what people have taken time into putting together. Of course, not all of them are up to par but finding a good playlist is just like someone handing you a mixtape…Minus the glitter-glue cover art and the barely legible, hand-written liner notes. That’s why I have taken some time to go through my music collection and pick some gems to compile into a nice summer playlist. It’s tough to pin down the 25 perfect songs that will fit everyone’s summer vibe perfectly but these are the ones that work for me. So without further ado, here is my first playlist for the masses: For Outdoor Use Only. Best served on ice with a side of beer. Enjoy! Against Me! – New Wave The Drums – Let’s Go Surfing Yeasayer – ONE The Hold Steady – Constructive Summer Plants and Animals – Kon Tiki Julian Casablancas – 11th Dimension Modest Mouse – Missed The Boat LCD Soundsystem – Drunk Girls Band of Horses – The Great Salt Lake The Cure – Just Like Heaven Wolf Parade – I’ll Believe In Anything HEALTH – USA Boys Miike Snow – Black & Blue Portugal.

Soft fare from American Idol alumnus LEE: THE MUSIC VOL.3 SHOWSTOPPERS (COLUMBIA)

So far all three volumes of the Glee TV series CDs as well as the Glee Madonna tribute album have all hit No.1 in Canada. This current edition has now been at the top of the pops for three weeks making the whole Glee soundtracks’ something of a phenomenon. Apparently there are two versions of Vol.3. There is a regular CD but I was sent the Deluxe version subtitled Showstoppers. The booklet has a few more photos and the songs covered add up to a whopping 20 in total. There is plenty of expected material here from the covers of Lady GaGa (two of them), The Beatles, Olivia Newton-John, U2, Kiss, Christine Aguilera, etc., but what is a high school Glee Club doing performing melancholy songs about divorce as in Burt Bacharach’s A House Is Not A Home and One Less Bell To Answer. Finally for a so-called school Glee ensemble they have one hell of a backing act which somewhat stretches the suspension of disbelief, but there is no denying the huge success of Glee releases as well as the TV show.

JASON CASTRO: (ATLANTIC)

Jason Castro was noted on his kick at the can on American Idol a couple of years or so ago for accompanying himself on guitar. Most contestants are more comfortable with the semi kara-

Castro is, at best, very bland singing love songs where he often comes off as a tad too wimpy. Sample lyric: “I’m happy you are happy that he won your heart,” whereas most men with a pair would put up a little better fight. His Am. Idol take of Lenny Cohen’s already overexposed Hallelujah is the highlight here with its gentle makeover. C-

LITTLE BOOTS: HANDS (679/ATLANTIC)

With the plethora of women dance/pop singers on the scene re: Lady GaGa, Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, etc., it is no surprise that Atlantic Records is heavily promoting Little Boots’ debut album. Little Boots is singer, songwriter and keyboard player Veronica Hesketh, formerly of the U.K.’s

Dead Disco. This consistently strong techno dance album hit the No.5 spot on the British charts last year and now the CD is available domestically. There is so much to enjoy here from the Kylie Minogue-like future hit Stuck On Repeat as produced by Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard. Phil Oakley of The Human League sings a fine duet on Symmetry while there is a touch of pretty trip-hop on the standout Hearts Collide. Little Boots/Hesketh is also unique in her songwriting which is often about romance rather than pure clubland lust (not that I have anything against the latter). Hands comes stick-

ered with lots of accolades and I agree with The Times: “a perfect pop star.” A sleeper album that could easily take off and Little Boots is an act to watch. B+

STRAIGHT NO CHASER: WITH A TWIST (ATLANTIC) This 10-man a cappella group started at the University of Indiana as a time killer between classes and semesters. When

they rejoined for a college reunion several years later they were taped and posted on the Internet where they became a huge smash success. With A Twist is their third major label album in three years but their first that is not a seasonal Christmas album. The group proudly states no instruments were used at all on this cool disc hence the group’s name Straight No Chaser, but the help of studio wizardry really fleshes out this interesting album. Instead of standard barber shop and doo wop fare the singing ensemble covers more contemporary songs by the likes of Oasis, Coldplay, Crowded House, Mike & The Mechanics and even Red Hot Chili Peppers. The group has even scored a minor hit with You’re My Best Friend while I suppose the biggest selling point here and even maybe the ‘twist” that the CD title refers to is the duet with Barry Manilow on One Voice. An excellent vocal group where these veteran college grads are probably facing a two career existence if sales keep going up and up. B

A little taste of Paris in Tutt Street Square bistro I n preparation for my trip to Paris this week, my friend and I went to check out a new French bistro in town: Le Plateau in Tutt Street Square. What a treat! This cozy eatery is exactly what Kelowna needs more of—small, in-

dependently owned establishments passionate about good food. Mais oui! Owner Michael Gauthier, with 25 years of experience in the restaurant business, decided to follow his dream and open his own place. With a

philosophy of “simple, honest food and wine” and a fabulous chef on board, I think Gauthier has the winning formula.

What a unique bolero style jacket! This is a very easy project to knit showing off style and flair. Knitting instructions are given in a ¾ sleeve version and a long sleeve version in 6 sizes, from chest/bust size 61 cm (24 in.) to 117 cm (46 in.) – from child to adult. Knit in Sirdar’s “Flirt” it requires 4 to 10 – 50 gram balls for the ¾ sleeve and 5 to 11 balls for the long sleeve version. “Flirt” is composed of 80% Bamboo/20% wool, and is hand washable. Alternatively “Snuggly Baby Bamboo” can be used. Together there are 39 fashion colours to choose from. Any other DK yarn can also be used. If you have a front loader, you can machine wash in cold water, HE low suds, garment turned inside out placed in a garment bag and washed alone or with other hand washables, on a hand wash cycle.

Executive chef Darren Mitchell is not new to the concept of high quality, fresh fare: As former sous chef at Waterfront Wines Bistro & Bar he worked alongside chef guru Mark Filatow who is a master of cooking green, seasonal, sustainable and locally focused cuisine. With a petit, perfect French bistro menu to choose from that includes homey French favourites like chicken pot pie and beef bourguignon to salads like the perfectly dressed salad lyonnaise or quiche of the day there is something for everyone. We started with a special amuse bouche of sautéed fresh morels atop slivers of baguette—and I mean fresh. Chef takes his ingredients very seriously—he literally scaled hills and dodged two bears mushroom foraging that morning to bring his

Look for their special menus on June 24th (St. Jean Baptiste Day) and July 14th (Bastille Day) where Le Plateau will be serving a full menu with a French-Canadian twist. Also watch for Oyster and Champagne nights that are in the works. Too busy to break away for a dinner out? Order up some Le Plateau ToGo—250-861-8618. Lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Friday, for dinner from 5 p.m. to closing Tuesday to Saturday. Michael and chef Darren are giving back to the

community by organizing their inaugual Testicle Festival, Saturday, June 26, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. All proceeds from this event will go to the fight against Testicular Cancer. They will be serving locally inspired prairie oyster delicacies on pizza, in stews, canapés and terrines. Sounds like this event will be a ball. ••• Other news to share from our food scene. Head to downtown East Kelowna on Friday June 11 where they will be rockin’ in the orchard at The Bunkhouse Bar & Grill. Double Magnum will be playing with proceeds going to SKEPAC

Tickets at the door. ••• L&D Meats, my favourite go-to meat shop in Guisachan Village offers up tons of dinner options. From having the freshest, farm raised chicken in town, to various cuts of lamb, bison and veal (fresh and frozen) to a freezer section with everything from duck legs to game hens—you can plan your whole week in one shop.

Grunt is our loyal family friend and it saddens us deeply to have to let him go. We have had Grunt since he was 12 weeks old and he is very well trained with 2 obedience sessions at Dogzies here in Kelowna. He is healthy, neutered, tattooed and current on all shots and vet checks. Grunt is a stocky medium size, non shedding dog. We feel we are not the best fit for Grunt. He would be best suited for a single guy that wants a best friend or a couple. Grunt is social, loves to play and has a lot of spunk. He is protective of his home and family. Right now he has a big yard to roam free in. If you feel Grunt would be a great fit for you please call so you can meet him. 250.317.2951 German Shepherd puppies, black & tan, born March 31st, vet checked, ready to go to new homes now. $600. 250558-3797.

The Cool Arts crew invite the public to visit Tugboat Beach at Waterfront Park during the Fat

Cat Children’s Festival on Saturday, June 12, starting at 11 a.m., to make a sandcastle in the shape of

eter, and made with sand, water and hands to pat the sand into shape. Cool Arts says sometimes art isn’t about objects that stay forever, sometimes art is about the process; who we are, what we do and how we work together as a community. The spiral construction will be documented with photos taken to become part of the city of Kelowna’s public art collection. You can find us at the north end of Tugboat Beach next to the bird sanctuary starting at 11 a.m. With funding from the public art committee and the sponsorship from Hanna’s Lounge and Grill, the Cool Arts crew along with Lori Mairs are celebrating community through the building of this piece of ephemeral art. For more information about this project please contact Lori Mairs 250764-8335; or email at art@lorimairs.com. Cool Arts is a not-forprofit society, and is dedicated to providing fine arts opportunities to adults with developmental disabilities living in the Central Okanagan. For more information about Cool Arts, visit our web site at www.coolarts. ca or email info@coolarts.ca.

Time to head out for a hike A series of outdoor adventures with Linda Jones-Evans, an experienced leader with Recreation & Cultural Services Kelowna, have been organized to expose the public to the Okanagan’s spectacular views and nature while enjoying a little exercise and fresh air. Participants should be prepared to drive their vehicles with the group to the trailhead. All registrants must read their hike information sheet and have their waiver form signed for each hike. Both are available at Parkinson Recreation Centre. To register, call 250469-8800 or go online at www.kelowna.ca/recreation The next two scheduled hikes are June 13, Drought Mountain, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and June 27, Scenic Canyon, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
