Flightcraft lays off 43 employees

Soft fruit disposal worries farmers

Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

A high Canadian dollar has put 43 Flightcraft employees out of work. “We had aircraft coming in for maintenance, but they went somewhere else —where the dollar is lower— and that left a hole in our schedule,” said Grant Stevens, Flightcraft’s human resources director. Stevens said the bulk of lay-offs were in the maintenance department. The company still employs 567 locally, and managed to ride out the recession with little ado. Sustained by a number of larger, long-term projects and outstanding contract work, the expectation was that the business would continue to succeed as the economy improved. But the loss of a couple of contracts delivered a significant blow. “Aviation has been on a downward slope for a number of years, but we’ve managed to weather the storm very well,” said Stevens. “I think employees and staff had been on pins and needles over the last couple of weeks as they looked at the work schedule, in the hangars and saw

there wasn’t a lot of work for the summer. “We made the changes, to put people’s fears at bay.” That said, Stevens pointed out there’s never a good time to lay a person off, and their employees have been put on a 90day recall. The last time there was a significant lay-off was in December 2004, but changes in the administration department of the company amounted to a few more layoffs in the summer of 2008. Stevens said the company will continue to work on their operations to ensure global economic factors don’t further internal strife. “Our company is working to make sure we are one of the most effi-

Soft fruit that you don’t eat should be bagged, buried or frozen rather than tossed out the window, into the garbage or in the compost. That’s the message from orchardists and grape growers facing the potential loss of an entire crop of fruit to a new insect pest which enters the valley in fruit such as cherries, plums, grapes, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. The spotted wing drosophila is a vinegar fly, similar to a fruit fly, that feeds on rotting fruit but lays its eggs on ripening fruit, destroying it for market. Organic fruit grower and entomologist Linda Edwards says growers have concerns about fruit which is coming in from California now and berries coming from the Fraser Valley in the coming weeks.

Authorities quick to control gasoline leak into lake Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

SEAN CONNOR/CAPITAL NEWS

KELOWNA FIREFIGHTERS work Monday afternoon at Kerry Park to contain a gasoline fuel tank leak into Okanagan Lake.

A gasoline leak from a land-based tank had the City of Kelowna, the fire department and Petro-Canada staff hopping Monday morning as fuel spilled into Okanagan Lake. It is not known exactly how much gasoline leaked into the water, but city staff say they believe they caught it early and are hoping the damage is minimal. “We discovered a very small leak, actually in the wall (along the shore),” said Todd Cashin, City of Kelowna’s environment division. To the point where city officials were called in, Cashin said he believes the spill only contained about a water bottle’s worth of gasoline, perhaps 200 milliliters; although, all of the details are still under investigation. The municipality was contacted by concerned citizens who smelled gas in the downtown area at approximately 8 a.m. and city crews were on scene almost immediately. The Integrated Land Management Bureau, the provincial Ministry of Environment and the federal Ministry of Environment were all contacted as fire crews set up a boom and absorbent pads to contain the spill. While the exact source of the leak is under investigation, the city could say the spill’s source is around a fuel tank used

by Kelowna Marina that is buried under Kerry Park. Details on who is responsible for the tank, its maintenance and so forth have yet to be released, though Cashin confirmed the tank itself is a relatively new one. The site is complicated because it sits on territory once occupied by ferry docks, so the crews working in the area must go slowly to ensure they don’t disrupt live infrastructure lines or hit dormant ones once used to service the docks. A Petro-Can truck was brought in to siphon off the remains of the gas in the tank Monday morning, leaving the tank empty, but crews are still poking around to ascertain whether more fuel leaked into the ground and exactly what caused the leak. Fire crews used a silly putty-like sealant to damn the leak spilling into the lake upon arrival. Unfortunately, gasoline, even in small amounts, does diffuse very quickly, meaning a clean up effort will be required. Kerry Park sits right beside the brand new Stuart Park where the native riparian shoreline is being restored, but the good news Tuesday was that the lake had been entirely protected. City officials said more information would be forthcoming Wednesday as the exact source of the leak becomes clear. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

W ROCK STAR STATUS

Olympic oratory catapults Canadian poet to national stage Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It’s planes, not tour buses, when Canada’s spoken word sensation sets out on tour, and on the odd occasion when he does hit the bus, it’s just a cramped and miserable affair. So says Shane Koyczan, Canada’s world renowned slam poet who strips the rock star status symbol to its knees with two words (“cramped bathrooms”). “We’re not exactly sitting around singing Tiny Dancer or anything like

that,” he jokes in a telephone interview from his Penticton-area home this week, just days before his big Kelowna engagement. Whether by plane, train or some form of automobile, Koyczan’s new status as a literary superstar requires he get used to the constant hustle and bustle, making his Project Literacy engagement a welcome reprieve. The Okanagan native says the exhausting schedule is likely the only downside—if there is a downside—to being placed centre stage for Canada’s Olympic open-

ing ceremonies. And he’s quick to shun suggestions his new status heralds any revival of poetry as an art form. “It’s always going to be around and always has been around,” he said. “People force all sorts of clichés on going to a poetry reading, like we’re all going to be sitting around in black berets and snapping our fingers.” But even those who are forced by a friend to take in a Koyczan performance usually don’t find themselves ducking out to join the rest of the muscle shirts, he insists. He’s sim-

ply inspired to tell good stories, like the ones his librarian in Yellowknife used to recommend. These days you’ll find Tom Wayman, Leonard Cohen and Tess Gallagher in his collection, though he reads everything, ferociously, and writes everyday—even if only for five minutes. And while he might not be Elton John, or even an inspiration for Prince in a lovely raspberry beret, Koyczan’s voice leads the life of a rock star. Before his performance begins this week, he will be babying that in-

strument like he’s about to sing an opera. He drinks special teas and makes his own home remedies like his favourite mix of ginger, garlic, cayenne and honey. “It’s revolting but it’s really good,” he said, adding he’s also been known to drink an herbal cough syrup before his performances. Simply keeping his mouth shut to save his voice isn’t always an option, though if there’s a second thing this talking superstar is known for, it’s his ability to do just that for almost a year in the

lead up to the Olympics. Olympic officials told him he would be bumped and replaced with someone else if he told anyone about his position as the main performer for the kickoff event. He’ll be able to tell Kelowna all about it come Friday. As a one-time Okanagan College student, who was a student of Project Literacy board member and UBCO professor Nancy Holmes, he is offering up a special performance to help raise money for the non-profit group. Like many volunteer-

driven, non-profit social service agencies in B.C. the literacy tutoring program is facing tough financial times and its staff hope the Koyczan performance can alleviate some pressure. Koyczan plays the Mary Irwin Theatre on Friday, June 25, 8 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $35 and available through www. selectyourtickets.com, through the Rotary Centre for the Arts box office at 421 Cawston Ave. or by calling 250-717-5304. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

a wildlife protection order last week, requiring her to clean up wildlife-attracting food and not put more out. She complied, and was not fined, but officers have had to trap and put down two bears already this year who have been aggressive and caused damage once they became habituated to eating human food. Kruger said although staff at the Kelowna office aren’t dealing with nearly as many complaints as Vernon and Penticton staff are this spring, there are a couple of hotspots where bears are creating problems and generating complaints. It was from one of those areas that officers removed a bear yesterday, in the Fintry area on Westside Road. He said there have also

been a lot of complaints from the upper Glenrosa area where a couple of bears have become bold and habituated to humans because people have left un-natural food sources available, mostly garbage. “The difficulty is that once they develop the habitat of going after garbage they become habituated,” he explained. There are also issues in the Shannon Lake and Tallus Ridge areas and in the Mission benchlands area. He warned that the new garbage bins are not animal proof, and said people should not be relying on that. They must be kept inside until the morning of your garbage pickup day. In fact, he said he feels the best solution for bear issues is a bylaw for gar-

bage control, requiring that residents keep their garbage inside until the morning of garbage day. It’s an automatic ticket offence if it’s outside any other time, and that ticket can be issued by bylaw enforcement staff, police or conservation officers, he said. Province-wide, he said last year set an all-time low record for bear complaints, yet this spring it’s been the reverse, with the Kootenays having all sorts of complaints too. He speculated that the cool spring meant bears hibernated late and their usual feed wasn’t available when they woke up. He’s confident they will move up into the hills soon when it warms up and the berries ripen. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

died of asphyxiation, not stab wounds. During the trial, the jury has heard that Feil told police that Fedechko stabbed him during an altercation they had in his home in October 2008. The jury later heard testimony that described

the wounds Feil had on his arms as “self-inflicted.” No definitive opinion was given on the cause of Feil’s neck wound, which was described as “superficial.” The Capital News apologizes for the error.

W PEACHLAND

Waterfront pathway construction underway Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

Central Okanagan residents will have a new waterfront destination to head to by the fall. Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding, Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff and Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Stockwell Day officially announced the start of construction on $3.9 million worth of road and pathway improvements along Peachland’s lakeside Beach Avenue corridor. Each level of government will share one-third of the costs under terms of the federal government’s waning economic stimulus plan. Day, who is federal Treasury Board president, reaffirmed his Conservative government would not continue the infrastructure stimulus program beyond the

2010/2011 budget year as part of a plan to reduce Canada’s debt and end deficit spending. Still, Day was pleased his government could help out with the lakeshore infrastructure work before the end of the program. Day, an avid runner, highlighted the health and safety aspects of the pathway improvements. “I remember just a few years ago when I used to live in Peachland and I’d run along here or rollerblade and I’d think, ‘Oh, there needs to be a better pathway along here,’” he stated, with a grumble in his voice for effect. “I got so frustrated I moved out of Peachland,” Day said jokingly, before speaking to the new recreational opportunities the project would create along Peachland’s waterfront. “Rollerblades, bikes,

walking, whatever your mode of transportation is, it will be great to see this happen.” Both a sidewalk and a three-metre wide multiuse pathway would be constructed to accommodate those recreational users, noted Fielding. Fielding said the improvements would be a great addition to Peachland’s popular waterfront area. “It’s really the showpiece of Peachland. Everywhere you look it’s stunningly beautiful,” Fielding commented. As for the environmental benefits of the project, Fielding explained a two-metre wide landscaped buffer between the road and the pathway would prevent road salt and other road surface substances from running directly into Okanagan Lake.

The buffer would be xeriscaped to conserve water and lighting would be solar-powered to cut down on energy consumption. The road safety enhancements include traffic-calming measures, crosswalk improvements and a dedicated cycling path. Construction will

occur this summer and on into October, along a 1.2-kilometre stretch of the Beach Avenue corridor from Fifth Street to Thirteenth Street, said the mayor. “Phase one is from Twelfth Street to Eighth Street, phase two is from Eighth to Fifth and phase three is from Twelfth to Thirteenth.”

The pathway addition connects to an existing 1.3 kilometre recreational waterfront corridor, which was also improved over the past few years, said Fielding. The mayor mentioned the pathway would be called Centennial Way in honour of Peachland’s centennial, 1909 to 2009. Fielding also made

mention of how Peachland’s share of the costs would come from development cost charges, meaning property owners in his municipality would not be required to contribute any local taxes for the project. He added that he was grateful for the funding support of senior levels of government. jluciw@kelownacapnews.com

testimony of forensic pathologist Dr. Charles Lee, who gave his opinion about the nature of the injuries Feil had at the time of his arrest for the murder of 23-year-old single mom Tiffany Fedechko. Lee examined photographs taken of Feil, which depicted marks on both his forearms and on the right side of his neck. Lee testified that the arm wounds “appeared to be quite superficial” and that they were “more consistent with self-inflicted injury.” The neck wound also appeared to be superficial, he said, but he testified he couldn’t say “with any degree of certainty” if the wound was self-inflict-

Tiffany Fedechko ed or inflicted by someone else. Under cross examination, he agreed the neck wound could possibly have come from a blocked stab inflicted by someone else. He also testified that the neck wound looked

like it had been incurred “within a day” and said it would be “unlikely” that it had been caused 2.5 days before the photograph was taken. Feil went to police on Oct. 28, 2008, two days after a date with Fedechko went sour. Feil told police that their argument continued at his Thacker Drive home, where Fedechko’s body was later found in the master bedroom. Feil, 39, claimed to police that Fedechko began swinging a knife at him— resulting in his wounds— and that he responded by throwing her on the bed, putting his knee on her neck, and punching her in the head a few times

before going to the bathroom to clean himself up. The jury heard that analysis of blood found at the scene determined that Feil’s blood was found in the bathroom and Fedechko’s blood was on the bedroom wall. Two knives found in the home both had Feil’s blood on them. Feil’s roommate, Ryan Cornish, was away on a hunting trip that fateful weekend, but returned a missed call to Feil the day he went to police. “He just told me that he effed up and that there’d be authorities coming to the house,” Ryan Cornish testified. He said Feil sounded “a little drunk,” but didn’t press him about why Feil said police would be at their home. Two days later, Cornish returned from his hunting trip and learned about Fedechko’s death. The Crown closed its case on Monday afternoon, and the defence told the jury that they would not be calling any evidence. Closing arguments are scheduled to take place on Wednesday, and it is likely the jury could begin deliberations on Thursday. cwierda@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna earns a spot on the Monopoly board Kathy Michaels CONTRIBUTOR

Children could give baby boomers a run for their money when it comes to investing in Kelowna real estate. Although speculators beware—it won’t improve market value beyond a sticker price of $39.99. Hasbro toy company released the results of a competition that had residents of cities across Canada vying for a piece of Monopoly real estate. And, when all was said and done, this slice of the Okanagan replaced Virgina Avenue on a Canadian Monopoly board set to be released later this week. “We’re really excited about this,” said Catherine Frechette, with Tourism Kelowna. “Now when families are playing together it keeps Kelowna top of mind as a topic of conversation. Children will ask, ‘Where is this?’ or ‘Where is that?’ and it’s a really exciting and a fun way to build awareness and intrigue.” This city’s inclusion in the game is the direct result of some diligent mouse clickers who registered their desire for board game supremacy daily over the course of a winter-long, Canada-wide competition. When it started, Kelowna was among the 65 pre-selected cities that interested parties had to click on to seal a coveted spot in the Top 22. “That’s when we put out the passionate plea to get people excited about it,” said Frechette, noting that Kelowna is bundled along with St. Johns, Nfld., and North Bay, Ont. “It puts you on a tier of cities that are intriguing and interesting in and of themselves.” While Kelowna residents were angling for top spots, the coveted sky-blue cards that usually belong to Park Place and Boardwalk went to Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Que., and Chatham-Kent, Ont., respectively.

Products Ltd. partnered up to raise $9,445. Sun-Rype donated 40,000 pouches of their newest product, Fruit to Go Apple Crisps, which were sold at 26 elementary, middle, and secondary schools throughout the region. Students and staff purchased individual packages and entire boxes. “This was an amazing contribution on behalf of Sun-Rype that provided an opportunity for our students to help with the relief efforts in Haiti through Doctors Without Borders,” said Norm Bradley, director of in-

struction at the school district. “Everything we raised is being donated to Doctors Without Borders, who have been working in Haiti for the past 19 years. “They have done incredible work on the ground helping people. “We are just doing our small part to support their ongoing heroic work.” Rolli Cacchioni, chairperson of the Central Okanagan Board of Education, noted that school district students, staff and parents, with the assistance of community partners, are taking action as concerned global citizens

to assist in improving the situation in Haiti. On Monday, Quigley Elementary School students Jenna Day, Ripley Burd and Julia Blair joined Sun-Rype’s president and CEO Dave McAnerney and consumer services manager Sandra Hofer to sign off the cheque that will be donated. “Sun-Rype is very proud to have been part of this unique fundraising initiative and we applaud our local school district and all the families, kids and teaching staff who really made it happen,” said McAnerney.

has not been released, died. His male passenger was taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Police say neither speed or alcohol were contributing factors, and said the tragedy underscores the need for drivers to always be on the lookout for animals crossing the road.

Final rally planned in Kelowna to support First Nations angling for protest backing of anti-HST petition W HST

exemption from new tax Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

B.C. First Nations leaders are calling for a province-wide HST exemption for their members. Penticton Indian Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stewart Phillip, head of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, told the Capital News Tuesday, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the demand he will make when he and other First Nation leaders meet with Finance Minister Colin Hansen on Thursday. Saying he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not impressedâ&#x20AC;? that Hansen waited until the â&#x20AC;&#x153;11th hour,â&#x20AC;? to meet despite repeated attempts by Native leaders over the past few months, Phillip said he will go to the meeting and will press for B.C. to follow Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead and exempt B.C. aboriginals from paying the HST on and off reserve Unlike B.C., which does not have a history of treaties between First Nations and the federal government, Ontario has exempted its Native people from sales tax both on and off reserve for many years, said Phillip. In B.C., there has been a sales tax exemption for First Nation members but only for goods purchased on reserve. But, he said a majority of First Nations people live off reserve in B.C., in part because of a lack of housing and jobs in their home communities. Many aboriginals also tend to have a lower income and because of that, the HST will affect them particularly harshly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be another burden in an already dire situation,â&#x20AC;? he said. Support for a mirror of the situation in Ontario is widespread among B.C. First Nations across the province, according to the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, including First Nations here in the Okanagan. Chief Robert Louie of the Westbank First Nation said he supports the move to bring in a sweeping HST exemption for First Nation people in B.C. both on and off reserve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the province of Ontario can do it, why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the province of British Columbia?â&#x20AC;? he said. Louie believes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;vast majorityâ&#x20AC;? of First Nation people are opposed to the HST here but add-

ed itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still unclear what will happen in regard to the current initiative petition campaign to have the tax scrapped and as a result, would not speculate on what will happen if a province-wide exemption is not granted to First Nations people. On the WFN reserves, the WFN government currently collects a five per cent taxâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;equivalent to the GSTâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from its members on just three items, alcohol, tobacco and automotive fuel. Other purchases by First Nation members of products bought on reserve are not taxable. First Nation members pay sales tax and GST on goods bought off reserve just like non-native people. Louie said information from the Canada Revenue Agency has shown the amount of administration will increase with the introduction of the HST but other than that, little will change on WFN reserves. The issue, he added, is really an exemption for First Nation people shopping off reserve across the province. Phillip said after a recent meeting with leaders of the Fight HST groupâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; lead by former Social Credit premier Bill Vander Zalm and trying to have the current law allowing the HST rescindedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; members of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs vowed to do all they could to stop the new harmonized sales

tax. The tax will replace the current five per cent GST and the seven per cent provincial sales tax as of July 1 with a combined 12 per cent sales tax. The new tax will be applicable on a host of items and services currently exempt from the PST. Despite many economists supporting the introduction of the HST in B.C., saying it will be good for the economy, a recent StatsCan report said the introduction would immediately increase costs for an average B.C. household by about $500 per year. The Fight HST group has gathered the signatures of 15 per cent of all registered voters is all 85 B.C. ridings on petitions to try to force the government to either hold a nonbinding provincial referendum on the HST or introduce legislation abolishing it. If the latter route is followed, the Liberals have a majority in the legislature to vote such a bill down and keep the HST in place. As part of the deal it made with Ottawa to create the HST, the province will get $1.6 billion. But unlike Ontario, which got $4 billion in its HST deal with the federal government, B.C. is refusing to pass the money it received onto residents in the form of HST rebate cheques.

and around Kelowna and one in the Vernon-area. As of June 14, Fight HST canvassers had collected 10,158 signatures in the Kelowna-Lake Country riding (23.85 per cent of registered voters), 10,238 signatures on Kelowna-Mission (23.81 per cent), 10,299 signatures in Westside-Kelowna (24.59 per cent) and 12,071 signatures in Vernon-Monashee (26.7 per cent). In the case of WestsideKelowna, the signature total is just 35 less than the total number of votes Liberal MLA and Community Development Minister Ben Stewart received in the last election. In Vernon-Monashee, the signature total is 3,056 more than the total number of votes Liberal MLA Eric Foster received.

Liberal MLAsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both backbenchers and cabinet ministersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have been told because the HST was a budget item and the budget is a confidence issue, any Liberal MLA who refuses to support the HST plan would have to quit the Liberal caucus like Lekstrom did. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick and his two local colleagues, Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson and Stewart, have all publicly said they support the HST and have no intention of following Lekstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead.

Pink satin? That’s what good friends are for as bridesmaids

efore her wedding, my friend’s daughter tried on her mother’s wedding dress just to see if she might like it for her own nuptials. It was a sweet gesture and my friend was beaming. My friend, who is my age, liked foofie stuff and romantic tradition, so you can imagine the dress was quite frilly and ornate. Now, imagine that it was built in the late 1980s. In other words, ramp up that ruffle and tulle by 2,219 per cent and you get a clearer picture of what she wore. Her shoulders were huge balls of curly white lace. She swished when she moved any body part or blinked. She had a veil, well actually about 12 layers of veils somehow attached to her head and spewing out and upwards. At the time, she was a radiant bride—if you could find her in the bundle of white with a skirt that trailed four-and-a-half feet behind her (equal to her height). It was a magical outfit, rivalling that of Princess Diana. She could not go to the bathroom unassisted. Her daughter’s reaction when she put on the dress? “This is awful. How could you wear this?” As a bridesmaid in that wedding, I thought she got the better deal. We had to wear bright pink satin dresses with big puffed sleeves and a wide skirt. Matching satin shoes, of course. We bridesmaids were all differ-

ent sizes, too, so there’s always that challenge that the dress will look good on one figuretype but not anShelley other. She was an Nicholl equitable bride; no favourites. These dresses didn’t fit any of us well. You know how brides often say to their bridemaids. “You could wear this to a party after.” Well, this bride knew better. None of us four would don those gowns again, unless dared to for big money. I realize that the 1980s was not the best time to buy any kind of clothes. We could have all just skipped the monster shoulder pads, wool leggings and the stirrup pants. It was a decade to mock. So, we knew we would be doubly-doomed in the bridesmaid department. We had our hair done, too. Somehow, mine came out as a box. I had medium rock’n roll curly hair that was flattened out with a curl on the end that made me look like a cross between Snow White and SpongeBob Squarepants. One bridesmaid who normally wore her blonde hair in a punkish spike version, had her hair straightened as well, so she came across quite angelic, a stark contrast to her real persona. We had to get the wedding photos done right after the service, so we primped and smiled, spread-

ing out our skirts because, heaven knows, we didn’t have enough volume as it was. Actually, we had to balance the bride somewhat. The guys? Oh, to be a guy. They wore the same thing then that they do now. Nice tuxes, with ties and cummerbunds to match the girls. You wouldn’t know they were from the lost fashion decade except for the colour of those ties. Together, well-posed, we made a very spectacular wedding ensemble. In the candid photos at the reception, we looked more relaxed. Being with your best buddies—and free alcohol—will do that. We probably thought, at one point, we looked like pretty hot quadruplets. Gazing fondly at her wedding photos and those dresses, my friend said accurately: “You were really good friends.” Well, in the photos, we were all laughing, so, yes we were. And, still are. My friend’s daughter, instead and not surprisingly, chose sleek, elegant and much less frill for her own dress. But, it was interesting to note, that at the wedding last weekend, all four of her mom’s bridesmaids were there. Dressed much better, of course.

‘Frightening pest’ a worry for orchardists Fruit from A1 patch is infested with inedible fruit at harvest time, she warns. Similarly, you could cause the infestation of a commercial operation if you permit eggs in soft fruit that you don’t eat, to develop. Prevent that by freezing the fruit for two days, or securely bagging it in plastic before throwing it away. Discovery of this Asian pest for the first time last year in the Fraser Valley and in the Kelowna area is said by some people to have marked “the end of fruit growing as we know it,” because it has such potential for devastation, right in the last few days before harvest, when most convention-

THE SPOTTED wing drosophila is a vinegar fly, similar to a fruit fly, that feeds on rotting fruit but lays its eggs on ripening fruit, destroying it for market. al pesticides can’t be used against it. “It’s a very frightening pest,” commented Edwards. There can be eight to 13 generations in a year,

compared to the most serious pest of cherries, the cherry fruit fly, which has only one. “We need to change how we handle fruit waste,” advised Edwards. Kelowna cherry grower Christine Dendy says they are hopeful the new pest will not over-winter in the Okanagan, but it will in the warmer Fraser Valley, so now each spring growers here will have to monitor for it. “Public cooperation will be important, since drosophila will even infest wild saskatoon berries,” she noted. From there it can move onto commercial farms. Monitoring traps have been placed around the valley, and so far this spring two flies have been caught, one in a Mission-

area orchard and another in an Oyama orchard. Susanna Acheampong, entomologist with the agriculture ministry, says 300 monitoring traps have gone into orchards and some into back yards, while grocery stores and fruit stands are also being monitored. A weekly monitoring report will go out to growers. Brochures are available for growers as well as for homeowners and gardeners, and there are more details on the ministry website at: .agf.gov. bc.ca/cropprot/swd_brochure. Some emergency control pesticides have been registered for use against drosophila, if needed, said Acheampong.

RV rules for farmland not finalized

RAIN CHAINS Now in stock

Now Open Sundays 11am-4pm

STAFF REPORTER

Farmers hoping to sell the agricultural experience to tourists by allowing them to strike a camp alongside the orchard, will have some new rules to contend with before the summer is out. Kelowna city council continues to work on a bylaw aimed at minimizing the impact of agri-tourism on rural neighbourhoods, largely by tightening restrictions on the number of recreational vehicles allowed on a lot. Farmers will soon be capped at five RVs per property allowed to stay from May through the end of October, with promises of stiff fines which could be imposed on a daily basis. For several councillors, though, the parameters up for discussion were questionable. “So we’re still not making a decision based on the quality of the land,” said Coun. Charlie Hodge as debate over the matter kicked up Monday afternoon. He was told the council has the right to approve or reject the plan up front, so if a farmer chooses top quality, arable land the councillors can nix the plan at the outset. Of larger concern is the time constraints on the tourism season, though. Coun. Luke Stack pointed to several com-

plainants who attended the last public hearing on the matter as evidence there are a lot of angry neighbours convinced the RVs are staying year-round. He said he wants a bylaw that’s clear that the businesses can only oper-

ate for a season, whatever the season may eventually turn out to be. Should a farmer lose their farm status, he or she would need to shut down the operation, council was also told. Unlike with a change of zoning, com-

pensation would not be necessary as the zoning would stand, though their status as a non-farm operation would limit their ability to take advantage of the tourism portion of the property’s potential.

I always talk about creating change and I want to be on the ground somewhere, so I can make a personal connection with what I teach. That will make it real for the kids.” Hopefully, she said, the experiences gained from a win will also inspire them to do more, although they’re already volunteering to carry a heavier load than many twice their ages. While Lemon talks about walking the talk abroad, she’s been at it lo-

cally for quite some time, galvanizing her students to do everything from collect bottles in a snowstorm and pawn their baked goods. “Every fundraiser you can think of we’ve done it,” said Lemon, admitting that it all started two years ago when social justice students decided to create a tangible change in Kenya, and build a school. To do that, they had to spend their lunch hours and free time raising $8,500 and earlier this month they met that goal. “We were so excited,” she said. “I brought the kids in for lunch and bought them ice cream, told them the news and they all screamed.” Lemon hopes securing a win will mean she can tell her students exactly what life in Kenya is like, and maybe even take part in developing the school they raised the funds to build.

“It was fairly minor, thankfully,” said Cairns, noting that no patients had to be moved as a result of the fire.

W HIGHWAY 97

Reid’s Corner the next priority for highway upgrades Jason Luciw STAFF REPORTER

High occupancy vehicle lanes are being eyed at a traffic bottleneck on Highway 97 in North Kelowna. “We see our next step as trying to improve the intersection at Sexsmith,” said B.C. transportation ministry district director Murray Tekano. “We’re (seeing) poor performance of through

4 DAYS

traffic on that section of highway.” Tekano explained that the proposed solution would be to construct what he called “queue jumper lanes” through the Sexsmith/Old Vernon Road intersection, which is commonly referred to as Reid’s Corner. “A queue jumper lane would allow high occupancy vehicles to have a special lane (through) the signal.”

passengers would be able to move into third outside lanes on Highway 97, one for northbound traffic and another for southbound flows, several hundred metres before the intersection. Motorists would need to merge back into twolane traffic several hundred meters past the signals at Sexsmith, Tekano explained. Then if HOV lanes were ever extended north

on Highway 97, beyond their present terminus at the intersection of Highway 33, the queue jumper lanes at Sexsmith could easily be integrated, said Tekano. Although, he clarified that presently no plans exist to extend HOV lanes continuously beyond Highway 33. Tekano mentioned he was hoping to receive funding this year so he could begin a study into the queue jumper lanes. He was not willing to

speculate when funding would be available for actual construction of such a project. Meanwhile, during an interview with the Capital News Tuesday afternoon, the concept of adding HOV lanes to the Westside also came up. That’s because a new District of West Kelowna master transportation plan, which was scheduled to go before council Tuesday night, makes reference to the possibility of adding HOV lanes to

Highway 97 on the Westside by 2030. West Kelowna engineering director Gary O’Rourke noted that ideas were being presented to council for discussion purposes only at this stage in the plan’s development. Still, Tekano said, philosophically speaking, HOV lanes for the Westside would be a step in the right direction and his staff would be working with the municipality to achieve its transportation goals.

Chinese medicine offers way to protect carpal tunnel T NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman syndrome. Pressure on the nerve can stem from anything that reduces the space for it in the carpal tunnel, such as overusing the hand in work, sports and

daily activities particularly through repetitive motions, injury to the area, or other health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, certain hormonal disorders, or fluid retention during pregnancy. In many cases, carpal tunnel symptoms are actually caused by a nerve compression in the neck rather than by a narrowing of the carpal tunnel. Bad posture, for example, can cause compression of the nerves that

run down the arm and eventually pass through the carpal tunnel. In Western medicine, carpal tunnel syndrome is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids to reduce swelling, with physiotherapy to stretch the ligaments and maintain mobility and muscle strength, with massage for relaxation and—as a last resort —with surgery, to cut the ligament in order to create more space for the con-

When injury occurs in the case of overuse of a joint, the kidneys and liver are also involved, because the joint may sustain damage if it isn’t receiving a sufficient quality of nourishment and moistening of qi and blood. With acupuncture we can reinforce the energy of kidneys and liver in order to strengthen the bones, muscles and tendons to allow them to heal properly and prevent future injury. We can also encourage circulation of the stuck energy and blood in order to break up the blockages in the injured area and promote healing. Acupuncture provides relief from pain and inflammation, but also encourages healing to the area and a healthier state of functioning, so that the carpal tunnel area is more able to withstand injury and sustain health during frequent use.

Therefore if the kidneys are strong and healthy, the bones will be also, whereas if the kidneys are weak the bones may also be weak and/or brittle. The liver controls the state of the sinews (muscle and tendons), so if the liver is strong and functioning properly, the sinews will be properly lubricated and nourished to have the capacity to contract and relax in a healthy manner. When a problem arises in a joint, whether due to injury or overuse, the body is normally able to recover and heal the tissues. However, with injuries, what can commonly happen at the initial stage is that the qi and blood get stuck and no longer circulate through the joint properly, causing pain. If the quality of blood is generally poor, which is common in a liver yin deficiency, the injured site will of course take longer to heal or even fail to heal completely, because the blood doesn’t provide the proper nourishment to heal the weakened area.

A total of $18,370 has been awarded to local organizations, including the Festivals and Special Events Development Society of Kelowna, the Rotary Club of Lake Country, the Three Links Manor, the Kelowna Canada Day Concert Society and the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society, which received funding for Monday’s National Aboriginal Day. “Many of our local community organizations work hard all year planning activities for the community and I am pleased to know that they are being acknowledged for their efforts by the federal government,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan. The Celebrate Canada program supports local

activities during the period from June 21 to July 1, including National Aboriginal Day on June 21, Saint Jean Baptiste Day on June 24, Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27, and culminating with Canada Day on July 1. The funds provided are to assist with start-up costs of projects and are not intended as 100 per cent funding. Groups are encouraged to make their activities increasingly self-supporting from year to year. “Canada Day gives us a chance to share our pride in our country,” Cannan said. “The Celebrate Canada program helps us to do that in our own unique way. I hope people will come out and show their support for these local organizations which are run largely by volunteers. “They do a wonderful job planning events and making Canada Day memorable for our community.”

Two B.C. field records for Stroda Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Records are made to be broken. It’s a sports cliché that Aaron Stroda has obviously taken to heart. The Kelowna teenager has set two new B.C. track and field standards in as many weeks—the latest coming this past weekend at the Pacific Invitational track meet in Langley. Stroda obliterated the competition in the boys midget (14-15 year-olds) discus event by more than eight metres with a provincial record-setting toss of 51.73 metres. It’s the first time the 50m barrier has ever been broken in B.C. and puts Stroda into a class with national and international calibre athletes. “I was throwing over 50 metres in practise and to get over 51 in a competition, I’m really happy with that,” said Stroda, 14, a student at Okanag-

an Mission Secondary. “It’s a thrill when you get to compete against other people in big meets and I think that brings out the best in me.” Just a week earlier at the Jesse Bent Memorial in Coquitlam, Stroda established a new record in the 4 kg shot put with a throw of 14.24 metres, breaking the old mark by .18 metres. Stroda’s bloodlines might explain a lot about why he excels in the sport. His coach—and his mom—Verena Stroda was a former track and field athlete in her native Germany. Aaron’s dad, Dirk Stroda, is a mental coach and has worked with many world-class athletes throughout his career. “They’ve both really helped me a lot and have been very supportive,” said Aaron. Still, as much as genetics is on his side, Verena Stroda said Aaron benefits

KELOWNA’S Aaron Stroda holds the B.C. midget boys records in discus and shot put. from being a quick learner. “Throwing events are a lot about technique and I’d say that’s Aaron’s strength,” said Verena

Stroda. “He has picked it up very well.” While throwing is Stroda’s current focus, he trains in a wide array of track and field disciplines.

He currently has the ninth fastest time ever in B.C. for 14-year-old sprinters in the 100 metres, but has had to temporarily suspend his running due

to injury. Regardless, Aaron’s long-term goal is to compete in the decathlon—10 track and field events— and at the highest level.

“I want to compete at the Olympics one day,” said Stroda. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Hamilton to lead WHL executive for another term where the league is headed.” As the chairman, Hamilton serves as head of the WHL’s executive committee and is a member of the Canadian Hockey League’s board of directors. As was the mandate of former chairman and longtime Bruce Hamilton friend Ed Chynoweth, Hamilton said his vision for the next two years will include overseeing the health of the WHL’s small market teams. “We need to make sure our smaller market franchises continue be viable and enjoy the

STAFF REPORTER

With Bruce Hamilton at the helm, the Western Hockey League’s board of governors clearly approve of the direction being charted out for their 22-team circuit. The president and GM of the Kelowna Rockets has been re-elected to serve another two-year term as the WHL’s chairman of the board. Hamilton, who filled the position from 1998 to 2004 and again from 2008 to present, is honoured to be asked back for another term. “It’s an honour when your peers select you,” said Hamilton, who was re-elected at the WHL meetings last week in Calgary. “It’s pretty gratifying when no one runs against you and I guess it means they have confidence in you. “It’s a job that does tie up quite a bit of time, but it’s an opportunity to have a real influence on

same benefits as the big teams,” said Hamilton. “Those teams are vital to those communites and they’re vital to our league. Places like Prince Albert, Moose Jaw and Swift Current need to be looked after.” Closer to home, Hamilton looks forward to building a healthier and more stable situation in Prince George. Attendance at Cougars games has been falling continually over the past several seasons in the northern B.C. city. Solidfying the Chilliwack Bruins position in a highly competitive hockey market on the Lower Mainland will also be one of the league’s priorities. “Chilliwack had a tough year with Abbotsford coming into the American Hockey League,” said Hamilton. “We think they’re adjusting there, that they’ll be ready to go and take some steps this season.” Hamilton said the introduction of a fully-in-

egrated web site connecting all three major junior leagues in September is one of the most exciting developments for the WHL from a marketing standpoint. “It’s going to be one of the biggest web sites in Canada and, it’ll be much like the sites the NHL, NBA and Major League Baseball have going. It’ll have a tremendous impact when it comes to marketing our product nationally.” On the subject of expansion, Hamilton said not to expect any newborn teams in the near future. While there is great demand for expansion franchises, Hamilton said the overall stability of the league has to be taken into account first. “I think right now the only possibility would be the move of an existing franchise to another city, not an expansion team,” he said. “Our priority is to maintain our player pool and the quality of play in the league rather than towards the money that comes from expansion.”

Ryan Spring’s return to the Kelowna lineup provided a spark as he tallied four goals and added two assists. Other goals came from rookies Deryk McPhail (2), Braden Renner Victor Wiens while veterans Pho Heng and Steve Plasko added one each. Joe Brown, Jarrett Neigum and Kyle MacLennan all played solid two- way lacrosse for three periods. Brown assisted on three goals, Neigum had a goal and two assists, while MacLennan scored twice. Cory Fearon was steady in goal to back a solid Raiders’ defensive effort. The Raiders (6-3), who share first spot with Armstrong, will host Vernon this Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Arena.

This will remove the additional qualification step that only the men have been required to complete in the past. The changes come after a 10-month review of the playdown structure by Curl BC’s performtance committee.

Devoted retiring city parks worker will be missed O

ne of the best things about living in the city of Kelowna for as long as I have is knowing some of the fine public servants we have working for our benefit, keeping our city one of the nicest places to call home in the world. Most of these people have a passion for what they do over and above it just being a job. However, there are a few who display their enthusiasm even when not on the job. An example is a gentleman named Mau-

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett rice Garneau who is about to retire from the City of Kelowna parks department after 36 years of service. Whenever we meet and talk about life, family or work, he always reflects on something he is looking after in City Park,

whether it be a new area just refurbished or an area that has some history to it and needs some TLC. Maurice and I actually go back even further than the 36 years he has worked for the city; he was a great friend of my old band the Strange Movies in the late 1960s and early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s.

Put the newspaper to work in your garden CONTRIBUTOR

Weeds are the bane of gardeners everywhere. Here is a simple, cheap and perfectly safe solution to preventing weeds in natural areas, flower beds or even a vegetable garden and you probably have at least one delivered to your home every week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the newspaper! Once you read it, you can recycle it or you can repurpose it to snuff out stubborn weeds without using potentially toxic chemicals. Like the black landscape fabric you may be used to seeing, a layer of newspapers will keep sunlight from reaching young weeds waiting to emerge. Newspapers also encourage earthworm activity, which makes your soil better in the process. As the worms break down the paper their waste provides fertilizer for the soil and their tunnels help to provide beneficial oxygen. Plus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple. Clear the area where you want to prevent weeds from sprouting. Layer sections of the newspaper across the area. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s windy you can lightly water the newspaper sections first to prevent them from blowing about. Overlap the layers by several inches to prevent gaps. Put down at least six to eight sheets.

MOTORING Fridays in the Capital News

The thicker the layer of newspaper the better the weed control. Spray the papers lightly with water until soaked. Cover the area with leaves, grass clippings, straw, bark or rock. It looks better when the soaked papers are covered but it also helps to keep them in place until they break down. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to worry about the ink on the newspapers. In the past lead, cadmium and other toxic heavy metals were commonly used in paper inks. Now, however, most publishers use organic pigments, which are the same as those used in tattoos, lipstick, hair coloring and other cosmetics. You may also see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;soy inkâ&#x20AC;? symbol on a

You can also use the glossy inserts of the newspaper but the coating on the paper will prolong the process of breaking down. Such papers are best used sparingly or on problem areas.

SAVE THE HST BEFORE JULY!

Today, people are returning to the need for community that used to be exemplified by the front porch. Gone are the days of everyone building their own private castle. Smaller homes are now in vogue, and front porches have returned. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they are very functional. The front porch is where people come together and sit and chat about the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to add a porch to your dream home, there are some things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to know.

There are several styles of porches you might choose. You will want your porch to match the rest of your house, so a brick porch with aluminum siding is probably out of the question. You can go with a large, wrap-around porch that will allow you access to the front door and the kitchen or even the living room. These are traditional and have an element of classic style. If you decide to go with wood, you should know there are many types available. Pine is used most commonly because it is generally straight and readily available. Cedar and redwood are also commonly used. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning

your porch, think about what kind of furniture you want on it. Are you planning to go with the classic rattan furniture or just a simple swinging hammock? What you choose to sit on will determine how big your porch will

need to be, and, of course, the larger your porch, the more it will cost. Brick or rock is much less traditional but offers many new opportunities. You can investigate all these at your local home improvement centre.

W OUR VIEW

The damage is done

ustice Thomas Braidwood’s final report into the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski is out—and it doesn’t mince words. Calling the conduct of the four Richmond RCMP officers involved in the tasering death at Vancouver airport “shameful,” Braidwood stopped just short of recommending criminal charges against them. A special prosecutor appointed by Attorney General Mike de Jong might not be so

inclined to stop short, and will review the possibility of charges that would make an example of the officers who have so shaken confidence in our national police force. About the only culpability Braidwood didn’t assign to the four was in finding there was no evidence they colluded to fabricate their story of what happened. Unfortunately for them, an amateur video of the tragedy gave the lie to their testimony— and, in so doing, made many of

MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212

us question the reliability of police testimony in countless other cases. While Braidwood said the actions of the four shouldn’t reflect on thousands of RCMP and other officers who have diligently served and protected the public for generations, there is really no way they can’t taint our view of police forces. But the Braidwood report doesn’t just point a finger only at the officers. He questions how Canada’s Border Services Agency

could “lose” an immigrant, leaving him to wander alone for five hours in the airport customs hall, after an already stressful 20-hour flight, while his mother waited anxiously a short distance away. While over time we may rationalize our way to a viewpoint that such a tragedy can’t happen again, one chilling fact remains. Flaws in Canada’s system didn’t just fail Robert Dziekanski. They killed him.

He seemed to take a sadistic delight in watching his little brother— me—fight back the tears as I meekly counted up my last $1 bills and figured out the mortgage value of my low-rent property just to pay his exorbitant rent. And the tools he regularly sought to put me, my mom and any other poor schlep who agreed to play in the Monopoly-money poorhouse? The magenta properties (Virginia Avenue, States Avenue and St. Charles Place) and the brown ones (New York Avenue, Tennessee Avenue and St. James Place). So I’m sure he will be pleased to

hear that after the massive phone-in campaign to have Kelowna added to the new Canadian version of Monopoly, our city has become one of his favourite properties, the one that is Virginia Avenue on a traditional board. The fact my brother and I live hundreds of kilometres away from each other now partially explains why we don’t play any more. That and the residual childhood trauma he caused me. But I’m sure he would take even more delight in not only besting me at that infernal game but doing so with a big, shiny red hotel on a property called Kelowna.

What is interesting is not that our little berg made it onto the new board, but based on the value of the property, we are worth more than Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. They make up the lower-priced light blue properties, which, if I remember right, were ones I usually ended up with. And look where they left me. So while I’m happy Kelowna is on the board, its placement could have been kinder to my damaged gameplaying psyche. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS

SUNDOWNR SAUSAGE

W CITY LIFE

City bylaws seem unable to control noisy traffic throughout the downtown Open letter to the mayor and councillors of Kelowna: This letter is being written on behalf of the residents along Gordon Drive, between Leon and Clement. On Gordon between Leon and Bernard there are five condo buildings, a small building abutting the 711 store and one rental building with a combined total of at least 300 or more units. This would possibly give a population of well over 600 residents. While the volume of traffic along Gordon is heavy, “normal” city traffic is not a problem and therefore not an issue. What is at issue are two things: 1. The heavy, noisy and dangerous truck traffic and 2. The uncontrolled speeding and constant noise of the motorcycles and other vehicles with dual exhaust systems and enhanced powerful engines that roar up and down Gordon and Bernard with absolutely no control or restrictions. Gordon/Bernard has become a nightmare of 18 wheelers, logging trucks and tanker trucks loaded with dangerous cargoes of propane and gasoline. These vehicles travel at high rates of speed side by side, as do the motorcycles and most other vehicles. Racing speed is probably the best way to put it. There are no speed controls and no police presence from Bernard north to Clement. We are dreading the soon to be good weather because that brings out the motorcycles which are a plague not only in this area but to the entire city. This is a 24/7 problem that no one at city hall seems to think needs to be

addressed. No one gets a decent night’s sleep with these vehicles roaring by at high speed seven days a week and at all hours of the day and night into the wee hours of the morning. From information received at city hall, apparently there is some concern about the Ellis truck route. It seems that since the Madison (building) has been completed there is now a worry that truck traffic and its noise should be directed away from this street. Are we talking about adding this traffic to Gordon Drive? Please! Ellis is basically a commercial and business street from Harvey all the way to Clement. Compare this to Gordon with the substantial number of condos at Bernard and the 100 per cent single family homes from Bernard north to Clement. Some of these buildings are less than 20 feet from the fourlane roadway. An accident waiting to happen? Do we not deserve the same consideration regarding the noise levels and busy traffic that truck routes generate? Surely over the last 12 months most of you are aware of the accidents that have occurred with these big rigs and their dangerous cargoes. Last spring, near Hope, a logging truck lost its load resulting in a fatality. Last summer, in Detroit, a tanker truck loaded with propane, was in a collision with a car travelling in the next lane and going in the same direction. The tanker caught fire and exploded melting the road surface and destroying a bridge overhead. If this were to happen at Gordon and Bernard, the potential of prop-

erty loss, injuries or worse, loss of life, could be catastrophic. Last June a small truck loaded with processed lumber lost part of its load while trying to stop at the traffic lights at Gordon and Bernard. The load shifted and fell on the lane beside the truck and some lumber also fell behind the truck. If it had not been early on a Sunday morning these lanes would have been filled with vehicles resulting in serious damages to not only other vehicles but possibly serious injuries to their drivers. What about the pedestrians on the sidewalk that is right on the curb lane? Do you remember the incident on the lake about two summers ago in which a boater regularly travelled, full throttle, up and down the lake at 2 and 3 a.m. Residents along the lake and the hills above complained to the level of government responsible for the lake and the problem was resolved immediately. No more early morning boating. How is this different from the never ending noise from motorcycles and vehicles with enhanced exhaust systems that tear up and down Gordon and Bernard 24/7? More recently, three transport trucks near Revelstoke were in an accident resulting in two fatalities. Apparently, one of the trucks crossed the line and hit another truck head-on and the third truck hit them both. With the speeding and reckless driving along Gordon this scenario could easily be repeated. Also, we are concerned about the increasing diesel fumes from these trucks that are being

breathed in by the local resents. Do we not have the right to expect a reasonable, safe and healthy enjoyment of our streets and homes? Do any of you realize what an 18 wheeler sounds like when gearing down, gearing up, using their air brakes and engine brakes? Multiply this sound four or five times when a number of these trucks are coming along Gordon and arrive at the intersections at the same time. It takes these big rigs three or four gears to be shifted to even cross the Gordon/Bernard intersection from a stop at the traffic signals. The noise is deafening. Residents cannot open windows because of the noise from these trucks. Even with the windows closed, the noise level is deafening. Then add the motorcycles and other vehicles to the mix. Absolute mayhem. The noise from motorcycles and other dual exhaust vehicles is not unique to this area. Have any of you tried to have an enjoyable lunch at one of the outdoor patios on Bernard? Impossible with the motorcycles and other traffic drowning out any chance of a quiet and enjoyable conversation. Surely, as a council, you cannot believe that these objectionable vehicles are going to attract tourists. Quite the contrary. This problem is out of control and has been for many years. It is getting worse every year and the citizens need the council to take an active role on our behalf to find solutions that all parties can accept. The designated truck route should be neither

along Ellis nor Gordon. The Clement extension is underutilized and is almost void of truck traffic. Trucks should be directed along Harvey to Spall to Clement; or Harvey to Enterprise to Spall to Clement. Enterprise is totally commercial and the Clement extension has no residential buildings directly on the road or even near the road. On both Gordon and Ellis buildings are built right on the curbs or sidewalks with no room for error if an accident does occur. Last July at the corner of Bernard and Ellis a log fell off a logging truck and landed at the curb. Although small, once airborne, this log would be a lethal weapon capable of inflicting tremendous damage to other vehicles and injuring or killing pedestrians or business owners along the route. Logging trucks, transport trucks and tanker trucks have no place on Gordon or Ellis. A final note: Do these noisy motorcycles and other loud vehicle owners somehow have more rights that the rest of us? As usual, it seems that the silent majority are held hostage by an inconsiderate and uncaring small number of motorists. We need some resolution to these issues and strict enforcement of any controls or changes that can be put into effect. Hopefully some or all of you will understand the total frustration about this situation and the concern for safety and health of all of the residents. William Gilbert, Kelowna

Seniors’ beautiful planters stolen Express yourself To the editor: The residents of the Bench Phase 1 in Rutland recently decided to beautify their yard with five beautiful cedar planters full of flowers. They all worked very hard and the result was magnificent. On the night of June 16 some despicable human being decided that the flowers would look better in their yard and so, stole them.

What kind of person would do this? These people are senior citizens and live on a fixed income, but still they pooled their money, bought the planters, soil and flowers and did the work. It was such a joy to see them admiring their hard work and watching the flowers grow. To the person who did this, you are nothing more than something you

would wipe off the bottom of your shoe with disgust. If you have any intelligence left in your feeble brain, bring the flowers back. To anyone reading this, if you noticed the bad neighbour who suddenly has five beautiful planters sitting in their yard, please call the police. Cindy Robertson for residents of The Bench, Rutland

W LEGACY FUND

Kelowna allotted $19,900 to develop new cultural plan The City of Kelowna will develop a threeto-five year cultural plan using $19,900 in funding from the Creative Communities program, supported by 2010 Legacies Now and the provincial government. Once completed, the cultural plan will integrate cultural objectives into municipal plans that impact the community, land use and economic development. Creative Communities supports local governments and arts organizations to understand their cultural assets and identify strengths and challenges in their arts and cultural sector. In 2006, the City of Kelowna received $15,000 through Creative Communities to complete a cultural scan of its arts and cultural assets and to determine where gaps existed. Building on this information, it will now create a forward-looking cultural plan. “We have a good foundation in place for a city our size,” said Sandra Kochan, cultural services manager with the City of Kelowna.

“I’m very interested in hearing what our community has to say about getting to the next level of cultural development, and what the priorities are going to be. “There’s a sense of dynamism here and it feels like we’re on the cusp of something quite exciting. “The support from Creative Communities in

both phases of our project has been essential in moving this forward.” “The City of Kelowna is taking a strategic step in cultural development by drafting a cultural plan,” said Lori Baxter, director of arts for the 2010 Legacies Now. “This will provide the local cultural community a central point for its long-term vision.”

W HOMEOPATHY

Medicinal value of what isn’t visible to the naked eye R ecently I was reading some history about a few of the pioneers involved in the discovery and study of electrical and radio fields. This in itself may be considered benign or to some even boring; however, it is quite the contrary if one were to take into consideration when these experiments and tests were undertaken; that being about 150 to 200 years ago. When Michael Faraday (Sept. 22, 1791 to Aug. 25, 1867) theorized

FINDING REMEDIES

John Sherman about invisible forces and magnetic fields he was scoffed at. People would say to him if you can’t see it, then it can’t exist. However, he continued on and over the following years his theorizing was proved correct. In fact, some of his ex-

periments are the basis for the modern day quantum physics and nanoscience. I have the discussion on many occasions regarding a similar situation that has carried on through the centuries and that is the validity of homeopathic medicine and the potentization of such medicines. Samuel Hahnemann (April 10, 1755 to July 2, 1843) the founder of homeopathic medicine who lived during the same era as Faraday, also had many theories about unknown and invisible forces that

acted upon the life force of all living things. His experiments developed the basis of modern day homeopathic medicine. Today, people still ask the question, how does homeopathic medicine work when seemingly there is nothing there? Others scoff and claim it is a mere placebo effect, saying that just plain sugar would have the same effect upon the patient. Science has claimed that when a substance is so diluted, as it is in homeopathic remedies, that

there surely can be nothing available in the form of medicinal properties. When radio waves are sent out over the ether they are invisible to the naked eye, unnoticed by everyone who walks through them, only to be noticed when received by a specialized instrument. When a CD or a software disc is melted down and reviewed under a microscope, there is nothing to be seen that will reveal any music or binary files that was a program on your computer. In fact, all that will be seen is plastic and resin. What about digital files of music and photos that are not even physical entities? All these things are visible or audible when coupled with the correct instrument to read the

files. There is absolutely no difference with homeopathic medicine— the correct instrument to read the “homeopathic file” is the living organism whether human or otherwise. Problems or limitations do occur with efficacy when it comes to homeopathic medicine in the same way problems occur in the reading of a digital file or receiving a radio signal when the correct frequency is not quite there or a file is not compatible with a particular program, etc. The problem is not in the homeopathic medicine, but may in fact be a problem with the prescription itself, meaning it is not able to be read by that particular organism. I have always had a problem with the “old

model” of how homeopathic medicine was presented in the past, for no other reason than that has been the way practitioners were taught. Take all of Hahnemann’s teachings and consider them unshakable, an almost religious bent. With absolutely everything in this universe, we have not even begun to break the surface around us. We need to begin to see with more than just our eyes. As far as homeopathic medicine goes there is much on the horizon. This is not intended to be taken as medical advice. John Sherman is a professional homeopath in Kelowna. 250-764-2487 cedarlake@telus.net

Health Tip: Working towards your goal everyday reduces stress… We all have dreams and goals that we want to accomplish. Sometimes we place unreasonable expectations on ourselves that they need to be done “right now”. This can create much stress in our lives. A good way to move things forward is to spend some time (even 15 minutes) taking action steps in moving your dream or goal forward.

TaylorMade Golf Tip of the Week by Mark Lindsay: “I was asked about an affliction that affects golfers when putting, known as the yips, a term used to describe an involuntary flinch or movement in the hands that affects golfers. Many golfers prefer not to discuss this term for fear that they may acquire the problem themselves. The yips are now known as a medical term throughout medical journals and are viewed by many medical professionals as a biochemical change in the brain that may be a result of aging. There are many different beliefs about the yips and The Mayo Clinic has done extensive research into the phenomenon. Google “yips” and pour through the countless articles and take the advice that suits you best.” (Mark Lindsay is the director of golf at the Okanagan Golf Club; Greg Murtland is the territory manager of TaylorMade.)

Benefits of business owners for opting into EI program S elf-employed individuals can now opt into the Employment Insurance System, which allows for qualification to special EI benefits. This legislation was introduced in the March 4, 2010, federal budget. It allows self-employed persons to pay premiums on a voluntary basisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and then to claim federal EI benefits under certain situations. There are no employer premiums required because there are no regular benefits under this program. The definition of selfemployed individuals are sole proprietors who declare self-employed earnings when they file their tax return, or corporate business owners who are not entitled to EI benefits under the pre-2010 EI program because they control more than 40 per cent of the voting shares of the corporation. The maximum individual premium for 2010 is $747.36. Under the new rules, EI will provide special benefits that include: maximum of 15 weeks of maternity leave benefits; maximum of 35 weeks of parental/adoptive benefits; maximum of 15 weeks of sickness benefits, and a maximum of six weeks of compassion-

FISCAL FITNESS

Doreen Smith ate care benefits. You must opt into this program at least one year before claiming benefits, and must have a minimum of $6,000 in selfemployed earnings in the preceding business calendar year. You are able to opt out of the program at the end of the tax year, provided no benefits have been claimed. Business owners need life and disability insurance in place to protect against a catastrophic financial loss of life, or a long term disability. Disability insurance provides income protection to replace wages in the event of disability. As a sole proprietor or owner of your own corporation, can you pay your financial commitments and maintain your standard of living if you are unable to work? How drastically could your current lifestyle change if your pay cheque is not available for months, years or decades? Individuals who are self employed, or busi-

surance payout is nontaxable when the premium is paid with after tax dollars. Life insurance is an affordable way to protect business partners. You can protect your business and your family against the loss of a business owner, with what is known in the insurance industry as

a buy/sell life insurance agreement. Business owners can purchase a term or permanent life insurance policy on the life of each coowner or partner. The life insurance proceeds will provide the families of each partner with a lump sum amount, or the proceeds can be

used for the share interest in the business. At the time of financial loss of a business owner or key employee, buy sell insurance allows for continuity of the business and facilitates succession planning. Death or disability of a key person in a business can severely disrupt the

business. Protect your financial assets built up over a lifetime. Be prepared! Doreen Smith is a Certified Financial Planner and life insurance broker with Capri Wealth Management Inc. 250-860-7144, ext. 114. dsmith@capri.ca

W WORKPLACE

You’re fired—but don’t leave O

ne of the stranger aspects of the law of wrongful dismissal is the extent to which the duty to mitigate may compel a fired employee to return to work for the firing employer. Notwithstanding that this may be an uncomfortable arrangement for the terminated employee, it seems that the courts (in B.C. at least) are embracing this concept. An employee suing a former employer for damages for wrongful dismissal has a legal obligation to mitigate his or her losses. The employee can satisfy this duty by making reasonable efforts to find other employment (or to otherwise generate earnings to replace the lost wages). This duty to mitigate arises out of the law of contract— flowing from that body of law is the premise that the innocent victim of a contractual breach must take steps to reduce his losses. In the employment

LEGAL EASE

Robert Smithson context, this means the terminated employee must make attempts to obtain new employment. So, individuals claiming damages for wrongful dismissal must make reasonably diligent efforts to find new employment. If they do not do so, this failure to mitigate will negatively impact their entitlement to pay in lieu of notice. Occasionally, the terminating employer will make an offer of another position or will demand that the employee return to work temporarily. This presents a difficult decision for the terminated employee, and his or her entire claim for damages may ride on the outcome. One high-profile de-

cision involved a longserving employee of the Teamsters Union in the Yukon. Evans had been employed for over 23 years as a business agent in the Teamsters’ Yellowknife office. Evans’ employment was brought to an end but the parties were unable to agree on a suitable severance arrangement. The Teamsters demanded that Evans return to work for a period of two years but he refused to do so. The B.C. court focused on whether it was reasonable for Evans to have rejected the Teamsters’ offer of two years working notice. The court concluded that the Teamsters had made a bona fide offer of continued employment for the exact job Evans had previously held and that Evans had failed to act reasonably with respect to that job offer. Two more recent decisions out of the B.C. courts have demonstrated

the degree to which this application of the duty to mitigate has found a home in this province. In one, an employee named Silva had his employment terminated when his employer’s business was sold. The purchasers would have retained Silva on somewhat altered terms (though not altered to an extent that they would have amounted to a constructive dismissal) but Silva did not accept. The B.C. Supreme Court determined that Silva suffered no damage that he could not have avoided by continuing to work for the purchasers on the terms offered. His claim was dismissed. In another decision, an employee named Whiting worked for a company providing electronic payment processing services to a bank. Due to contractual issues between Whiting’s employer and the bank, Whiting’s employment came to an end. The bank offered

damages. The B.C. Supreme Court found in favour of the former employer, stating that Whiting’s claim for damages for wrongful dismissal was “fatally flawed” as a result of his failure to accept the position. Although the position was offered by a business partner rather than by the former employer, the result for the employee was similar. As time passes, employers will become accustomed to the courts’ view of such situations. When that happens, we can expect more terminations to be accompanied by a demand for the employee to keep on working for the employer (if only temporarily).

Local winery president to sit on tourism council Gordon Fitzpatrick, president of CedarCreek Estates Winery in Kelowna, has been appointed to the to the provincial tourism ministry’s Council on Tourism. “Gordon is a welcome addition to the Minister’s Council on Tourism,” said B.C.Tourism Minister Kevin Krueger. “His family’s deep agricultural roots and leadership in the wine industry in the Okanagan Valley, with his knowledge of tourism in British Columbia, will further strengthen the council’s recommendations to government.” Fitzpatrick said he looks forward to working with the other council members from industry to provide advice to the minister on ways to build a more successful tourism sector. “We share the common goal of wanting to ensure that B.C. is able to maximize its tourism potential following the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games,” Fitzpatrick said. Established in 2009, the Council on Tourism is comprised of a broad cross-section of members from the tourism industry and informs the government on a range of tourism-related matters. The council’s advice and recommendations are designed to help guide the development of marketing initiatives and strategies to double tourism revenues in British Columbia by 2015. “We are pleased to have Gordon join us on the council. His perspective on industrial tourism and views of the Okanagan region are a worthy addition,” said Stuart McLaughlin, chair of the tourism council. “So far, the minister has both challenged us and listened to our input and there has been a steady stream of successes. The council is functioning very well.” One of B.C.’s largest and most sustainable industries, tourism generated an estimated $12.9 billion in 2009, providing over 131,000 direct jobs across the province.

W ENTREPRENEURS

3D technology finds its home in the Okanagan I have recently discovered I am not finished with believing in the seemingly impossible in my life. I have had the privilege the past year and a half of working with Okanagan film commissioner, Jon Summerland to explore the potential to develop a film industry infrastructure in the Okanagan. Certainly, the film industry is nothing short of true innovation and creativity, the benchmarks of the entrepreneurial spirit and as such, prompted me this week to trumpet to you a glorious entrepreneurial opportunity that is before us in the Central Okanagan. Kerner Studios Canada Inc., located in Vancouver is a subsidiary of the Kerner Optical Group, based in Marin County, California. The Kerner Group is a former George Lucas company and a spinoff of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), the legendary special effects arm of Lucasfilm. Kerner Studios Canada was established only eight weeks ago for the purpose of expanding Kerner’s presence in 3D content production and

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young 3DCapture Systems and related 3D technologies and services in our beloved Okanagan. For three decades now, Kerner’s engineers, machinists and technology experts have been building innovative technological solutions to accommodate the George Lucas and ILM effects team requirements. This has resulted in some of the most astounding visual effects imagery for many of the highest grossing blockbuster movies of our time. Since Kerner has become independent of ILM, 3D has exploded and become a major focus for the film industry, as the box office success of Avatar, My Bloody Valentine and Alice in Wonderland will attest. Recognizing this in advance, Kerner has positioned itself as an innovative entrepreneurial leader in this dramatic change in the industry.

For many years now, Kerner has anticipated the transition from 2D to 3D and understood that 3D would become the dominant format for entertainment and media worldwide. Of course, we all are aware of the massive box office success of Avatar in 3D which has sent a shock wave throughout the film industry demanding 3D content. Wow, is all I can conjure up to a figure of $2,727,224,990 in box office receipts. James Cameron, you are one lucky dog. What has now become, seemingly overnight, a popular trend, is something that the entrepreneurial minds of Kerner have been preparing for in the last decade. Kerner’s products and technologies are extremely well positioned, I have recently evidenced, to exploit some of the immediate demands of the industry in this channel. Kerner has assembled a technology team with vast experience and indepth knowledge of the 3D capture system. There are multiple proprietary product lines in development, including a 3D capture system

which is currently being manufactured at Kerner USA in Calfornia. Now, here is the exciting part to my column today. Kerner Optical USA, wishing to capitalize on the booming demand for 3D, has sought a colleague in Gavin Wilding, a Canadian film producer in Vancouver, to be the Canadian president of the new northern venture. Put in place eight weeks ago, Kerner Canada, through Gavin Wilding, has determined they wish the Kerner Canada manufacturing and distribution “hub” to be the Central Okanagan. How exciting is that. So that we don’t get too carried away, let me tell you that the Kerner 7000 3D Capture system is believed to be the most sophisticated stereoscopic cinematic camera systems in the market today. After going through the process of designing and building these first generation and now second generation capture systems, Kerner decided the best business model was to manufacture these proprietary products and lease/rent them to film producers throughout the world.

Hence, Kerner Canada is coming to town in early July with two public demonstrations to an invited audience to let we mortals in on the joy of live-action 3D display. Future media releases will offer details but Kerner is seeking investment in

this project of theirs to establish the Canadian company and you are invited to contact me to discuss. This is just the beginning, my friends, of some wonderful changes to our film industry here which should put a smile on the face of our film commis-

sioner for years to come. Stay tuned. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership consultant, educator and founder of Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. joel@ovesociety.org

Risk mitigation strategies for entrepreneurs topic of forum The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society and Kelowna Scotiabank will present a townhall meeting on the topic of risk mitigation strategies for entrepreneurs The forum takes place Tuesday, June 29, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Ramada Lodge. The admission fee is $10. Several entrepreneurial experts will address a variety of issues at the forum, representing the insurance, security, legal and banking fields. Each panelist will deliver a five to seven minute presentation from their field of expertise. Forum participants will then break off into smaller groups, each led by one of the panellists. The panellists will include David Knapp, representing banking.

Lyall has worked in the retail, wholesale and resort facets of the ski industry in sales and/or marketing for 20 years with Olin Skis, Salomon Ski Equipment, Marmot Basin and Panorama. He’s also worked with Calgary Copier and Century 21 Realty in Calgary. In 2001, Lyall started in financial services with Clarica, moving to Kelowna in 2003. Clarica merged with Sun Life in 2001 which has been an opportunity to experience the management of change in a large organization with local roots. He is currently the sales manager at Sun Life Financial in Kelowna. Another panellist will be Michael Gautron, a licensed security consultant, with experience in security investigations, loss prevention, security management and operations. A member of ASIS International, Gautron has dedicated himself to the future realization of a safer community through continuous education in safety and security, increasing public and client awareness.

Gyro parking lot gets upgrade Construction of a temporary parking lot at the intersection of Lakeshore and Watt Roads and adjacent to Gyro Beach Park begins today. Completion is expected by July 15. Parking on the east side of Watt Road, in front of the security fencing, will be restricted during this time to accommodate construction.

The parking lot will be in place for two years with the possibility of an extension to four. The long term plans for the site have not been determined yet. This project is designed to ease summertime parking congestion in the Gyro Beach area by increasing the total number of parking stalls surrounding Gyro Beach to 96.

We all know that Kelowna tends to lack in events that cater to Generation Y, but the ones that do take place tend to make up for lost time. This summer is no exception with the one weekend event that we can look forward to heat up our summer just a little bit more—Centre of Gravity. What started out as VolleyFest (one of Canada’s preeminent pro beach volleyball events) four years ago, has now morphed into an action-packed weekend with much more to offer than just volleyball. The Centre of Gravity festival, created and founded by Kelowna native, Scott Emslie, now offers six different sports including beach volleyball, freestyle motocross, basketball, wakeboarding (featuring a winch jam), jet ski racing and freestyle mountain biking. This year will also include an Active Zone, a Kids Zone, and an Arts and Culture zone featuring local artists and vendors. But what summer festival would be complete without the addition of some great live music? This year, COG will be offering fans two live music stages—the Sun FM stage that will host the big name artists and the Beach stage that will feature some great independent musicians. Whatever genre of music you prefer, COG provides music lovers with a mix of rock, hip hop, electro and house. The opening night will feature Juno Award nominee Faber Drive (www.myspace.com/faberdrive), from Mission, B.C., Dragonette, an amazing Canadian electro-pop

COMMUNITY

group, whose latest hit single Pick Up the Phone has catapulted their success; and pop rock band The Latency, from Maple Ridge. The following evening’s headliner is none other than the Grammy Award winning, American hip hop trio, Naughty by Nature. These guys have been going strong for 20 years with their hit song O.P.P. peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of the most successful rap songs in music history. Joining them is the Montrealbased Juno Award nominee Karl Wolf along with local Flipside residents DJ Cain and Invizible. Sunday night wraps ups with DJ Steve Aoki, a great American electro DJ, record producer and the founder of Dim Mak Records. Added to the mix is Smalltown DJs, Pete Emes and Mike Grimes and capping off the night is Team Canada DJs. The Beach stage—a new addition to this year’s festival—will feature some great local talent like the Malibu Knights, Devon (from devonandkevin), Bucknife and Treelines. The stage will also be hosting Vancouver natives Goodbye Beatdown on Sunday night. This band is a must-see with their unique blend of hip-hop, rock and reggae. Centre of Gravity runs from July 30 to Aug. 1. Three-day passes are only $55 for the first thousand sold, and $65 until July 29. Kids 12 and under get in for free with any paying adult.

W CD REVIEWS

You’d never know so much has passed under McLachlan’s bridge SARAH MCLACHLAN: LAWS OF ILLUSION (NETTWERK)

It has been seven years between new studio albums from Sarah McLachlan. She has released a few CDs with Christmas, live concert and Best Of albums, but her Laws Of Illusion was a long time coming. The odd thing is that McLachlan could have released this album right after her 2003 Afterglow and no one would have been the wiser. She uses the same producer here and the sound is so similar to past glories you would never have guessed that McLachlan endured a divorce, had a child and entered her 40s. The music here is just so similar to past efforts it is hard to believe so much water has gone under the bridge. I thought this was a fairly ordinary and somewhat underwhelming album so I gave it to my wife, a huge fan, and she didn’t think Laws Of Illusion was all that special either. Moreover, neither do most of you.

CLAY WALKER: SHE WON’T BE LONELY LONG (CURB)

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell McLachlan’s new single Loving You Is Easy has stiffed, moving from No. 80 to No. 81 this week and the concert sales to the revamped Lilith Tours have been selling sluggishly in the early stages. On a weak album, I found the best song to be the very winsome U Want Me 2 which comes in at track number 11 and far too little too late. Watch for this album to enter near the top of the charts this week without the benefit of a hit single and then take a quick plunge off the top 40. C

WILL YOUNG: LEAVE RIGHT NOW (JIVE)

Will Young is a multiplatinum selling superstar in his native U.K. whereas he is virtually unknown

in North America, but that may change with this eight song mini-album. Young’s career flourished after he won a British Pop Idol contest several years ago but more recently his tune Leave Right Now was the exit music for American Idol Season 9 which has given him a bit of a career boost on this side of the Atlantic. Young offers smooth blue-eyed R&B/pop somewhere between James Blunt and Mick Hucknall of Simply Red. But with his large back

W FOOD & WINE

Sparkle your palate at Sumac Ridge

ith two new sparkling wines to add to their repertoire, Sumac Ridge is the place to go to find the spirit of celebration. Corks are constantly popping in this bustling Summerland food and wine destination. With a new menu launched recently by talented winery chef Ryan Fuller and the perfect line up of summer wines offered up by winemaker Jason James, everything is coming up roses—or should I say rosés? Sumac’s new sparkling rosé is basically a mouthful of pleasure. With bubbles exploding with notes of dried strawberries, rose petals and rhubarb it is definitely pretty in pink and will be on my summer patio table. This bubble would pair wonderfully with a cheese plate or, as assistant hospitality manager Rochelle Henbury suggested, an heirloom tomato salad.

FOOD AND WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell As Jason said “this is a whole new reason to have rosé!” The Sparkling Gewürztraminer was a special surprise. Already mastering the ability to capture and retain the super aromatics within this varietal, winemaker James explains that they thought they would try it bubble style. This is the only sparking Gew in Canada! Made with 100 per cent gewürztraminer grapes, it was made in the traditional method and was en tirage for one year. James comments on the exciting aroma blast that will tickle your nose in which “the bubbles help bring up the aromatics.” Loaded with lychee

and notes of citrus this is an incredibly refreshing mouthful of party that lingers on and on. A beautiful treat that jumps up and throws its arms around you instantly putting you in celebration mode. Chef Fuller has transformed the menu into an exquisite offering of small plates. Each one of the dishes are a flavour explosion and a reflection on this young chef’s creative abilities in the kitchen. Fuller embraces the ability to pull local, seasonal, sustainable ingredients into one creative and colourful dish and enjoys incorporating an international spin. He is excited to be working with James’ portfolio of wines to pair with his cuisine. With plans to offer a new fresh sheet weekly that will reflect the seasonal specialities, this is a food destination that aims to please. With dishes like B.C.

BRICE LEE: LOVE LIKE CRAZY (CURB)

This is the debut country album from South Carolina’s Lee Brice. He is best known as a better than average songwriter having penned songs for Keith Gattis, Jason Aldean and Garth Brooks (the song More Than A Memory which was only

one of four new songs on Brooks’ last career retrospective Ultimate Hits). Brice was a football prodigy who earned a college scholarship and his fond, redneck (almost bully-like) days in high school are remembered on Sumpter County Friday Nights and Carolina Boys where Brice records country power ballads augmented with arenaready rock guitar solos. I found his sound a tad too strident but Brice has earned a sizeable hit with

the title track and remains a talent to watch grow. C

DIERKS BENTLEY: UP ON THE RIDGE (CAPITOL)

Dierks Bentley has been a fixture in hot new country since his selftitled debut album six years ago. He looked to be heading for fairly conventional country stardom with No.1 hits like Feel That Fire, I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes and, perhaps his signature song,

Free And Easy (Down The Road I Go). So nothing quite prepared me for this absolutely superb alt-bluegrass album that features superb pickers like Ronnie McCoury, Stuart Duncan, Alison Krauss, The Punch Brothers and more. And in spite of the radical change in direction, Bentley’s fans have followed along as this CD made its debut at the number four spot on the country album charts. There are so many wonderful and acoustic delights on this solid album. Bentley writes fine bluegrass originals, so much so that his own Rovin’ Gambler sounds like a traditional evergreen. But Bentley also selects great covers here with Bob Dylan’s Senor (Tales Of Yankee Power) and Bottle To The Bottom, a duet with Kris Kristofferson on his 1969 down and dirty nugget. The best song here for hit potential is the excellent duet with country hottie Miranda Lambert on Bad Angel but the real killer track here is a take of U2’s Pride (In The Name Of Love) that is beautifully rendered as if it were part bluegrass and part string quartet. Up On The Ridge puts Dierks Bentley’s ample talents in a brand new light. Look for plenty of awards. B+ bwcmitchell@shaw.ca

Phyllis will be remembered as a compassionate, loving person who gave so much to so many. She will be deeply missed by all those she touched in so many ways. The funeral will be held at the Immaculate Conception church - 839 Southerland Ave. in Kelowna on Saturday 26th June at 1:00 pm. A light lunch and reception will follow.

Predeceased by his dad Doug. Sparkling eyes of turquoise, a smile that never ceased; here’s a man who loved to live and live to love and give. He chose to walk the sunny side, helping others see. Money may be lots of fun, but the best in life is free. A man of character and class, he held his head high, inspiring me to always reach no lower than the sky. A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, June 25th at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC with Terry Lige officiating.

It is with great sadness that the family of Eric McIvor announces the passing of their father, grandfather and father-in-law. Eric was born in Toronto, Ont., to Duncan and Theresa McIvor. He was the fifth of six children. Eric married Shirley Kimmerly in August 1951, prior to beginning his teaching career in September of that year in Brampton, Ont. Eric was a teacher for five years before becoming a principal. He worked in various schools throughout Peel County in southern Ontario. Eric’s career in education spanned 35 years. Sadly, just before Eric retired, his wife Shirley passed away. This left a huge hole in his life and as a result Eric decided to relocate and retire to the Okanagan Valley. Eric bought an acreage on Lake Okanagan where he gardened, travelled, hiked, skied and played endless games of bridge. In order to be closer to family, Eric moved to Esterhazy three years ago. Eric often commented on the friendliness of the community and the welcome he received. There he met many new friends at Daisy Hill, Sumner Place, the Golden Jets and the Legion. Eric will be greatly missed by all the people whose lives he touched. Eric is predeceased by his parents; wife Shirley; his sister Bernice Boxall, Madeline Aggerholm, Phyllis Macdonald and Eileen Bartlett. He leaves to cherish his memory his three sons, Michael of Toronto, George (Sandy) of Esterhazy, and Andrew (Carla) of Brampton; grandchildren Erin and Megan McIvor and Talitha Tolles; and sister Catherine (Robert) Worling. A celebration of Eric’s life was held at Carscadden Funeral Chapel with Reverend Susan Griffith officiating. An interment will be held in Brampton, Ont., at a later date. Donations in memory of Eric can be made to St. Anthony’s Hospital, Esterhazy, Sask. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Peter Carscadden Funeral Service Ltd., Esterhazy, Sask. (306) 745 - 3304.

City of Kelowna bylaw officers and RCMP bike dquad officers communicate helmet safety using education, socialization and lastly, enforcement. The program will take place through October on Kelowna streets, parks and high traffic areas, and will include the RCMP “Gator Patrol,” an all-terrain vehicle that can tour areas a car cannot go. As part of the program, coupons for helmets are provided to youth who don’t have access to obtaining one. These helmets are from Nutcase Helmets, and come in unique designs including “X Ray Brain” and “Watermelon.” As well, “positive tickets” are provided to youth who display positive safety skills. These are coupons provided by local companies McDonald’s, McCurdy Bowling Centre, and Domino’s Pizza along with Club Penguin one month memberships. “Research indicates that an estimated that four per cent of the population is currently living with brain injury,” said Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd. “However, an astounding 90 per cent of brain injuries are preventable. We made many improvements with cycling routes in the city which allow more people to get active, which is extremely positive, now we just need everyone to wear a helmet— and parents need to set the example for children.” Dr. Paul Hasselback, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health, added: “Brain injury is one of the greatest health care issues facing society today and the brain does not heal like other parts of the body when injured. “Wearing the gear, such as helmets and seat belts, is the best way to prevent serious injury and death—and in fact helmet use can decrease the risk of brain injury by 85 per cent. It would be great if we didn’t have to promote helmet use, and that people understood your brain does not heal after injury as easily as does an arm or leg.” Brain injury has been labeled an epidemic and is the greatest cause of death and disability under 45, and it kills more children under 20 than all other causes combined. The leading causes of traumatic brain injury are motor vehicle crashes, sports and assaults. Based on a conservative estimate, brain injury affects one in 10 people, and there are 12,000 brain injuries that occur each year in B.C.
