Urgent care centre not in Westside’s future

scoped talent, now seeds talent by offering schools and after school programs the funding necessary to help kids learn to play an instrument or develop their voice. He was back in Kelowna to honour two schools the charity has awarded with $10,000 grants. Both Glenrosa Middle School and Ecolé KLO Middle School have been awarded $10,000— a sum equal to half a dozen years worth of regular music program funding— to help build their band programs.

West Kelowna has officially parted ways with the vision of creating an urgent care centre on the Westside. Joanne Konnert, a health care consultant hired by the district last September to assess the health services located in West Kelowna, presented council with her report Tuesday. Her recommendations suggested the district needs more services— specifically those dealing with mental health and substance use, as well as chronic issues—and better communication with Interior Health. But her research also illustrated an urgent care centre in West Kelowna would likely be under-utilized at this time. Part of that reasoning stems from the fact Westside residents’ trips to the emergency room decreased by 20 per cent from 2008 to 2012. Konnert said the decrease was likely due to one new walk-in clinic opening and two others expanding their capacity during that time.

The younger Reid spent the bulk of his career signing artists for A &M Records, after working his way into the industry through Kelowna’s CKOV radio station. He went from mowing lawns and convincing the radio station to let him on air to working with artists like The Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts, Big Sugar, Sarah Harmer and Hawksley Workman; and all because he loves music.

Mayor Walter Gray played trombone in the school band, turning in one of his first rounds of door-knocking to raise funds for the program. Astronaut Chris Hadfield took his guitar into space, wrote his own love song to Earth and collaborated with The Barenaked Ladies. Everyone has a tie to music that makes them a little unique, a little more interesting, and a little more engaged in the world, students at Ecolé KLO Middle School were told by Colin James at his MusiCounts concert hosted by the school on Wednesday. Learning to play music has even been shown to improve young students’ abilities in math. “For kids who maybe aren’t one of the jocks, or don’t excel in school, music can be a great equalizer,” said Allan Reid, director of MusiCounts. It can also be the rocket that launches a career as it has done for Reid, the Kelowna-born son of sculptor Robert Dow Reid, who crafted The Sails and Rhapsody (The Dolphins).

Commercial foraging comes to the Okanagan When this 22-year-old Kelowna resident takes a walk in the wild, he is a valued pointman for local restaurateurs in finding edible fungi for chefs to garnish a meal.

money to head to Paris to visit his brother. From that, he ended up with a job with a professional forager in Britain where he learned about more than 100 different types of wild herbs, collecting them for highend, Michelin-starred restaurants. He foraged all over England for wild edibles, working both for restaurants and for the forager, and most of the plants he learned about also grow wild here at home, he says. Mostly, he forages in the wild, though lots of edible plants grow on disturbed sites as well. He never picks beside highways, and would not pick where he wouldn’t eat the plants himself. In the past couple of months since he returned home from abroad, he’s found 25 different species that are edible and he sells to the best restaurants in the Central Okanagan. Sometimes, he says what he offers them challenges the chefs to come up with dishes that feature those flavours, and he

Scott Moran will never starve if he gets lost in the woods. He might have to become a vegetarian, but he won’t go hungry, because he sees food all around him when he goes for a walk in the wild. He’s the Okanagan’s first commercial forager. Now 22, Moran was known as the ‘mushroom man’ two years ago when he sold mushrooms at the farmer’s markets and to local chefs—edible fungi he scoured the hills and woods for. He still picks mushrooms, but he’s added a wide variety of wild plants to his inventory as well, from pepperwort to dandelion greens; wild rose petals to wild mint; sheep sorrel to lamb’s quarters. Top chefs don’t care about their odd names. They’re just delighted to be able to garnish a highend salad with a few buds of pineappleweed, also known as wild chamomile, or to be able to add

a few bitter leaves of sheep’s sorrel to a dish, even though the latter is considered a noxious weed in B.C. It’s all part of providing fresh, local, seasonal produce to customers, and Moran says such wildcrafting also ensures their customers get the best nutritional bang for the buck, because we’ve bred the nutrients out of many of our garden plants over the years. It all began when he was a kid and his family would go on mushroom picking forays. After a wildfire in Salmon Arm, they picked hundreds of pounds of morels in 2000. His older brother is a chef who has worked in top restaurants in Europe and B.C., but they used to pick porcini mushrooms when camping as kids and cook them up, instead of roasting marshmallows over the campfire. “I was actually a fussy eater until I was about 12, but we’d work hard out all day picking mushrooms and those mushrooms being cooked up smelled really good. I really began

to enjoy eating,” he recalls. Today, he eats healthy and organic, he says. He now enjoys cooking as well as foraging and eating the results of his labour, and his research and experience tell him that eating different herbs affects how you feel, as well as your health. After a successful season selling mushrooms in 2011, he had enough

says he cooks with all the plants he picks as well, experimenting a lot along the way. With less common plants he makes sure he leaves some where he picks, so he can come back to a healthy plant community another year or even later in the year, when they’ve multiplied. Some plants are particularly useful, providing roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds that are edible throughout the season. As wild mushrooms become available he’ll also pick them, but fall is the most productive mushroom season, except for morels which tend to grow where fires have gone through the year before. However, he did pick 70 pounds of mushrooms in the Aspen Grove area a few days ago. As he forages, he picks plants to sustain himself, or as a pick-meup, so he seldom goes hungry in the woods. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

The average West Kelowna resident might not be aware that this Sunday marks the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation in Westminister Abbey. But West Kelowna residents John and Heather Raybould and Carl Zanon have had the date circled on their calendars for some time. The Rayboulds and Zanon recently gave a presentation at the Westbank Library to share their memories and show some of the memorabilia collected from the Coronation 60 years ago.

According to John, all three were teenagers in London in 1953. Zanon was a Royal Canadian Navy Sea Cadet chosen to represent Canada at the Coronation; Heather, born in south London, was a member of the Girls’ Life Brigade and was one of many chosen to represent the GLB at the historic event; John was a Londoner who attended high school five minutes from Westminister Abbey. “After all the years of austerity in Great Britain that had continued long after the Second World War, Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation was a great morale booster,” said Hea-

ther. Heather added she remembers when “the volume of cheering rose to a crescendo” as the Queen and Prince Philip came through the gates of Buckingham Palace in the Golden State Coach. John said his father, who ran a florist and gardener’s shop in London’s Kensington district, had decorated the front of the

shop in celebration of the event. “It was a feeling of excitement,” said John. “It was something none of us had ever experienced—the last Coronation was 1937.” During their presentation at the Westbank Library, John and Heather handed out View-Masters so audience members could see 3D images of

the Coronation. “We passed them around while Heather was talking about Coronation Day—it was very effective,” said John. He added the excitement in 1953 could be compared to the feeling many British Columbians had during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna city council says trucks don’t belong on Ellis Street downtown anymore. The road, which has been a designated truck route into the North End for many years, has been deemed too important to the future of a revamped downtown core and, as such, council said it’s time to take large industrial trucks off that street. Instead, another designated downtown truck route, Gordon Drive, will be used. But that is not sitting well with some Gordon Drive residents and businesses, who responded to city surveys and questionnaires about the change. City staff say they sent out around 2,000 questionnaires to gauge local public reaction but received only 150 responses. They did receive three petitions with a total of 470 signatures asking that Gordon Drive not continue to be a designated truck route and another, online petition with 373 electronic signatures, calling for trucks to be banned from Ellis Street. In the end, council pressed ahead with its plan to ban heavy trucks from Ellis, saying it is not in the interest of the plans the city has for the downtown core to keep large trucks using that street.

But the change will not happen right away. Slated to start in the summer of 2014, the city says it has to spend about $400,000 to upgrade Gordon Drive before the truck designation actually comes off Ellis Street. Previous city councils had limited the hours trucks could use Ellis, as Mayor Walter Gray noted the decision to remove the truck route designation from Ellis was actually made some time ago when the city embarked on its revitalization plans for downtown. As for Gordon, city staff said the number of trucks that have been using it in recent years has dropped, in all likelihood thanks to improvements to Clement Avenue and the creation of the Central Okanagan Bypass, which links Spall Road with the North End via Clement. According to city staff, the number of truck trips per day on Gordon has fallen to 830 from 2,300 in 2007, in part because of the improvements to Clement. While several councillors said there will be a need for increased safety measures to protect Gordon residents, Coun. Luke Stack said while he will have to put up with the truck traffic and noise because he lives on Gordon Drive, he believes the removal of the truck route designation from Ellis is the right thing to do.

“If you took all the emergency visits to all three hospitals (Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon), including the really sick people, and said all these visits would go to an urgent care centre—you’d still only have about two or three visits per hour,” said Konnert. “There’s not a good platform there that would support, at least from a statistical perspective, the building of an urgent care centre.” Mayor Doug Findlater said Konnert’s report will help the district focus on areas where it can make gains in health care services. “Maybe it’s not what we thought it would be,

but it’s a first step of building that critical mass of services in this community,” said Findlater. The district unanimously voted to advocate Interior Health for more services to be located within West Kelowna and work with Interior Health to improve the communication and access to information about existing health programs within West Kelowna. West Kelowna will also examine future partnership opportunities with Interior Health regarding expanded health services on the Westside, designate a “point person” to facilitate collaboration efforts with Interior Health and look to establish a sub-committee related to health.

Second phase of Bernard Avenue revitalization is ahead of schedule Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Two down, one to go. The second phase of the revitalization of Kelowna’s main downtown street, Bernard Avenue, is expected to wrap up either late this week or early next week, more than a month ahead of schedule. With only road line painting still to be done, the re-opening of the stretch from Abbott Street to Pandosy Street is dependent on the weather, say city officials. If the rain holds off long enough for crews to paint the lines on the road, vehicles could be driving on the lower stretch of the revamped Bernard Avenue by the weekend. And while that will make pedestrians, drivers and business owners in the area very happy, it is also welcome news for

the second phase of the revitalization work. The third phase, from Pandosy Street to St. Paul Street, is scheduled to start just after Labour Day and be complete by the end of November.

a major overhaul of the downtown area, which will also see the construction of a new commercial dock nearby at the foot of Queensway and a new 120-metre long public walking pier just off Kerry Park. Work has started on the commercial dock and components of the $5.1 million pier are currently being built at a temporary construction facility on the west side of the lake. When complete, the components will be floated into place on the Kelowna side and connected together. Several small wooden buildings will be built as part of the dock/pier project, the first of which, a ticket booth for the commercial dock, is now up.

The company building the pier and dock, Edmonton-based Westcorp, will maintain and operate it for the next 15 years, and plans to build a boutique hotel on the site of the former Willow Inn Hotel at the corner of Mill Street and Queensway across the street from Kerry Park. Meanwhile, construction has already started on a large new Kelowna Yacht Club facility down the road on the former site of the Water Street Senior’s Centre across from the Kelonwa Community Theatre. Once that building is up and running, the city plans to demolish the existing yacht club building and expand Jim Stuart Park.

Harper fails Senate test

he pace of government action (or in this case, inaction) is something Canadians will never fully be able to grasp. In the blink of an eye, the Conservative government can strip away the retirement dreams of millions of Canadians. But when a loyal soldier of the government stands accused of bilking taxpayers with improper expenses, the prime minister claims to be powerless, while money is quietly funnelled out of his office to repay the alleged

wrongdoing. But, this time, Canadians may finally have had enough. The cloud of scandal continues to grow over the head of embattled Senator Mike Duffy. The former TV journalist is accused of fudging his expense account, eventually repaying the improperly claimed expenses with $90,000 he received from Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff who has since resigned. Duffy has now quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate,

but he is so far rejecting calls to resign as a senator. And the prime minister seems unwilling to push him out the door. Harper said he was “not happy” and “very upset” with the conduct of some parliamentarians and his own office, before hopping on a plane for a South American trade mission without answering questions from reporters. The same prime minister who has shown the powers of a majority government are almost limitless is now unable to even mention the name

of his disgraced colleague. Canada’s 105 senators all make a basic salary of $135,200. And apart from apparently filing bogus expense claims, most Canadians would be hard pressed to name a single duty that senators fulfill. Maybe Mike Duffy has done a service to his country after all. Maybe the senator’s actions will be the straw that broke the camel’s back and prompt Canadians to demand an end to the political embarrassment that is this nation’s Senate.

Haunted memories of our youth often find ways to be reborn

omeone once said we are bound to revisit the tragic memories of our youth throughout our adult years. I don’t know what deep thinking philosopher came up with that concept, but I felt those words of wisdom staring me in the face last weekend. Deemed by someone behind the organization of the Play On! street hockey tournament held outside Prospera Place last weekend to be a celebrity, I was invited to take part in the tournament’s celebrity game on Saturday. So when I showed up with sticks, gloves, camera and change of clothing on hand along with a nasty cold, I was ready to play.

I was pointed in the direction of someone helping to organize the celebrity matchup who greeted me with a confused look, the first sign of trouble. He asked if I was “on the list,” to which I replied no, I wasn’t, a snafu on the part of the organizers who have since apologized to me. But at that point, I was then escorted to the entrance of the makeshift celebrity road hockey playing area, while my helper ran over to talk with a cohort standing in the midst of the confusion in getting the game or-

ganized. After a brief conference, my helper ran back and said, “Sorry you can’t play, you’re not on the list.” But I said I’m here Barry now with all my gear Gerding ready to go, can’t you find a spot for me? After all, it’s not the Stanley Cup finals, just a bunch of socalled celebrities and NHLers on summer vacation playing a game of road hockey. No, that wasn’t possible was the response. Not even a spot on the bench. But it was suggested to me I could hang around and take some pics

EDITOR’S NOTE

as the game was going to be “a lot of fun” to watch. That just wasn’t going to happen. I meekly backed away from the crowd around me hoping they didn’t hear any of the conversation. Now when I retold this story in the days afterward, it was recounted with humour and people had a good laugh at my expense, but that moment of embarrassment for me was like revisiting one of those ghosts from my childhood. I was in my second year of peewee hockey, playing an exhibition game at the start of the season as the coaches scouted players for the A league. I scored two goals in that game, maybe even an assist—I can’t quite recall, but it wasn’t good

enough. The coaches took turns coming into our dressing room after the game to point out the players they had selected. My two linemates for that game got the tap on the shoulder. So did others. But not me. I didn’t make it on anyone’s list that day either, much to my chagrin ever since. I was left to play a season in the house league, where our team would win fewer games than we had rotating RCMP officers taking turns coaching us. Today, I look back and think any hopes of playing in the NHL that we have at that age were dashed by that lost year. So the path of rejection continues I guess—but at least I am a celebrity. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Turning south from Harvey needs fixing

To the editor: Let all roads lead from Kelowna—and cut off all roads that lead to it. I do not subscribe to conspiracy theories so I don’t believe that there are people who brain storm over how to make things more difficult, but I am surprised there is almost no response over cutting off the left turning lane from Harvey/Highway 97 onto Pandosy. Perhaps the residents of Kelowna are conditioned to turmoil over the highway that runs through it. When we moved here over a dozen years ago the problem was with the bridge, but after years of lobbying and hard work

by all levels of government and the First Nations People most of the bridge problems were resolved. Then the VHF lane was added on the right side, rather than left to accommodate all the left turns off the highway, most of which did not have lights and backed traffic up. Most of us have learned to live with it although now it is being considered to be eliminated. A major reconstruction of the intersections at Water/Pandosy had over 17 different proposals, many with overhead pedestrian bridges and ended with the limiting of Abbott to right turn only, eliminating the Water

intersection at the expense of the businesses—McDonalds, Tim Horton’s, Mac Store and Money Mart—who sued the city. Except for them, things got better. So now the traffic is moving it seems time to throw another monkey wrench into the system. My partners and I bought the old Tim Horton’s for Century 21 as they could live with the exposure in trade for some inconvenience in terms of access. But after only a few years of being in place the Pandosy intersection and access to the Mission is about to get considerably more difficult. I turn left on this

interception every day and often count six to 10 cars in line—four to six can make it through a turn signal depending on how colour blind and daring are those who are turning. At the end of the light one or sometimes two more can sneak through the yellow/red but traffic is often coming off the bridge fast and trying to run the yellow, so it is risky. Without the turn light it will mean most cars have to wait for four to six light changes in order to make the turn and we will see more traffic building up into the through lane to the Westside as well as more frustrated people try to run the red. With all the

development planned in the Mission this will only become a bigger problem and we will be making more changes again in a year. Business on the south side of the highway need a longer term vision to make their own plans. I urge our council to look at this seriously, however, I understand they are pointing at the province as this is a highway. So lets get our MLAs, local businesses, Mission developers and council all on the same page and look at a long term solution. Layton Park, Kelowna

▼ PARK ROAD

Why is Knox turned over to cars every year? To the editor: What is our premiere nature park really for? Precedent says that the Knox Mountain Hill Climb is a great tradition that is to be upheld, while leaders tout the event’s contribution to the local economy and tourism. But are either of these justification for allowing such an incompatible use of our premiere nature park? I think that many residents would say no. I sure do, I live at the base of the park, visit it regularly to walk or bike and have for years contributed to the improvement of the park’s trail network as well as the development of the park management plan. Visit this annual event just once and you will see its impact on the park. I’ll start with the fact

that I, as a local resident can’t even use the park on the first major long weekend of the summer. I can’t even get up the road by foot or bike, I’d likely have to pay to get in. I can’t get up to friend’s homes along adjacent Royal View Drive for a summer barbecue. I mean, really? Don’t I help pay for this park? Isn’t it for my enjoyment or is it simply for use by visitors with their loud, polluting race cars? At this year’s race a car careened off the ‘course’ into a very old, very large tree. Thankfully the driver and nearby spectators were all safe but that tree? Well it may not survive the damage caused by the Mustang that hit it at nearly 100 km/h. But who cares right? It’s just a tree. One of many in the park.

But not really. You see, like all areas, Knox has been hit hard by the pine beetle infestation so every remaining tree counts and has value. To me anyway. And as for all those spectators, do you think they walked up the road to access the best spot to take in a possible high speed wreak? Maybe they all followed the formal trails and walked up obeying the now plentiful signs advising everyone to stay on trails and respect the fragile ecosystem. Some may have, but not too many. They rather trampled up and down the hill sides contributing to the out of control problem of rogue pathways, erosion and ecosystem damage. But who cares, right? They all headed downtown after for dinner and drinks or back to their hotel rooms adding to the

local economy. That’s what’s important right? The damage they left behind will just be blamed on hikers and bikers who don’t stay on trails anyway and the City’s Parks Department will be left to clean up the mess and repair the damage (with our money). You can have all the economic benefits afforded by attracting visitors to the region without the destruction and annoyance. Cycling, hiking, walking and other healthy, sustainable activities continue to rise in popularity and the regions that cater to these are reaping the benefits and respect afforded by their focus. Kelowna and other parts of our region attract great events focused on these activities, we always have. There’s precedent in

that as well. Try to picture specific places within our region 40, 50 years down the road. Places like Knox Mountain Park that you may take for granted or not even think much about today. Do you envision them holding their place as the gems they are today with their natural beauty, wildlife and well managed public access or do you see them degraded, mismanaged and used up by past generations? Car racing doesn’t belong in our premiere nature park. It’s just incompatible. It’s not wrong to do, but there are sure better places to do it. Precendent is a powerful thing but there comes a time when things have to change. Michael D. Kittmer, Kelowna

▼ WEST KELOWNA

Westside Road is deadly

Open letter to the B.C. Minister of Highways: My wife and I recently travelled along Kelowna’s Westside Road to Lake Okanagan Resort. North of Trader’s Cove the road is in a condition that calls for either closure or urgent repairs. After ten kilometers of winding but well-designed highway, drivIers suddenly, and without warning, find themselves on a narrow section of

road that belongs to a bygone age when there were no tourists and very little traffic. Moreover, the northbound lane has no shoulder and its edges are dangerously eroded. The slightest miscalculation will send a vehicle down the cliff side. White warning poles are a joke. Drivers court head-on collisions when they veer into the southbound lane. We hear you are reluc-

tant to commit additional funds because the road is deemed unimportant. As a consequence, Westside Road will continue to imperil life with consequences that could easily outweigh the costs of an upgrade. Besides, the current situation is wholly unworthy of our province and leaves a bad impression with our visitors to take home. Harry Liedtke, West Kelowna

SATURDAYS FROM 8:00 AM TO 2:00 PM

Rain sensors 101... With the recent transition into the rainy season, one needs to think about the amount of irrigation that is actually required during these cooler and wetter days. One great way to manage your watering schedule is to utilize a rain sensor that will automatically turn your irrigation system off when rainfall occurs. Rain sensors are designed to interrupt the irrigation schedule during a rainfall event. They are adjustable and will only turn the irrigation off after a preset amount of rainfall occurs. They are easy to install and come in several configurations depending on the options required. Rain sensors are wired directly to the irrigation system controller and depending on the manufacturer are available in either a wired or wireless unit. Wired sensors typically come with 25-30 ft of wire, which can be added onto if required to locate the sensor properly outside the home. Wireless sensors have a little bit more flexibility as to where they can be located. With the wireless system only the transmitter is wired to the irrigation, the rain sensor itself has a built-in receiver which transmits back to the controller wirelessly. To be continued.....

Lakefront property owners should be doing what they can to protect their property, as Okanagan Lake is just eight centimetres from full pool, and heavy rains could push it over that ideal level. Concerns about flooding have shifted now from along Mission Creek to the lake, where property owners are advised to be prepared to take flooding precautions, says Jason Brolund, Central Okanagan emergency services coordinator. The lake will fill this year, as there is still snow melting from high elevations around the valley, and heavy rains in addition to that could cause flooding. He asked that lakefront property owners leave debris that wash-

es up on their beaches in place right now because it helps to prevent erosion. Clean-up can be done later in the year. Since mid-May, the natural resource operations ministry has been releasing the maximum amount of water from Okanagan Lake, says Des Anderson, section head, public safety and protection. The early May spell of hot weather caused a rush of melting snow to run off into the lake, but because cooler weather followed, the melt is now more consistent and slower, he explained. That early melt means the lake is higher than it normally would be at this time of year, but because much of the snow has melted from high elevations, he’s not too concerned now about the impact of runoff from melting snow.

What could throw a wrench into an orderly melt is if there are heavy rains, but the forecast for this weekend is for drier weather, followed by a new series of storms next week. Anderson reports that Osoyoos Lake is dropping from its peak of 1.7 feet above ideal, and the level of the Similkameen River has dropped from its peak as well. It was backing up into Osoyoos Lake. The level of Okanagan Lake is about a week or 10 days ahead of normal, but he’s reassured by a forecast of drier weather. Brolund said there are sand bags available at local firehalls for property-owners who need to protect their property. He advised boaters to be on the alert for debris and logs which have washed into the lake with high creek levels. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

There’s something very special about overnight camps—lessons learned here last well beyond paddling a canoe for the first time or the final campfire—they help shape young lives and inspire new goals and dreams.

With more than 100 years of offering quality camp experiences and leadership development programs, the YMCA’s mission is to provide safe, caring, and supportive camp communities where children and youth can engage in new opportunities, overcome challenges, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life. Campers will have opportunities to try and learn skills through daily cabin activity rotations and camp wide games including: canoeing, archery, orienteering, swimming, high and low rope climbing challenges, arts & crafts, environmental education, hiking and team sports & games. Everyone also takes part in the famous skit nights and campfire stories! Transportation: Silver Lake Camp is a scenic 20 minute drive from Peachland or 45 minutes from Kelowna. Transportation to and from overnight camps are the responsibility of the parent. Driving directions can be found at ymcaokanagan.ca.

Owls, Mustangs pursue medals Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

When they most needed a win, the Kelowna Owls found a way to dig deep and claim the Okanagan Valley final. Coach Arnar Bernhardsson hopes his squad will display the same kid of resolve this week at the B.C. high school AAA girls soccer championship in North Vancouver. The 16-team provincial tournament, hosted by Argyle Secondary, begins on Thursday morning. The Owls will play in a round-robin pool format against Handsworth, Kitsilano and Panorama Ridge. “It is a fairly decent draw, if we play up to expectations then it should come down to us and Handsworth to see who finishes first in the pool and a semi final berth on Friday afternoon,” said Bernhardsson. “If we get there we have a good chance of getting a decent opponent and again if we play up to our potential then we should be able to get into the final. “However,” he added, “anything can happen it is a long tourney and sometimes attrition is the key to

getting into the final.” KSS advanced to provincials thanks a win over Mt. Boucherie in the valley final earlier this month. It was the first time in three tries the Owls had defeated the Bears this season. The Owls last won the provincial championship in 2006. The 2013 B.C. final will be played Saturday afternoon.

MUSTANGS IN ROSSLAND

A sour taste still in their mouths from last year’s provincials, the Immaculata Mustangs hope to make amends this week at the 2013 B.C. high school girls A soccer championship in Rossland. The Okanagan Valley champs who, despite outplaying their opponents by a wide margin last year’s semifinal, lost 1-0 and eventually settled for the bronze medal. On Thursday, the Mustangs will begin their pursuit for gold playing in a pool with Selkirk, North lsland and Bulkley Valley. Based on their season to date and the talent at his disposal, Immaculata coach Paul Friere likes his team’s chances of challen-

“But we’ll have to do all the things the right way first in order to make that happen.” Freire expects the

toughest challenges at provincials to come from Glenlyon Norfolk and Southridge from Surrey. The Kelowna

Chrisitian Knights will also be competing. The B.C. final is set for Saturday afternoon.

After being denied a chance to win last year’s B.C. title due to the teacher’s strike, the Immaculata Mustangs are back on top in 2013. The Mustangs captured the provincial high school A boys golf title this week in Rossland, winning by 24 strokes over second-place Selkirk. Immaculata finished the competition with a two-day team score of 611, Selkirk came in at 235, while Rossland was third at 641 as the Mustangs led from start to finish. The Mustangs were also provincial champions in 2010 and 2011. Steven Lee of the Mustangs was second in individual competition, finishing at 3-over par 147, eight shots back of Kimberley’s Jared Dutoit. Immaculata’s James Casorso was fourth (149), while Cole Boldigara was sixth (153), Kennedy Gorges placed 13th (163), and Lauren Rutherglen 22nd overall (166).

Sun signs three more recruits

Kelowna B1 wins Bill McBain tourney

With the start of main training camp just over a month away, the Okanagan Sun have signed three more players for the 2013 BCFC season. Matt McConnel, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound safety comes from the Chilliwack Giants midget program. McConnel is a fiery and physical safety who should fit in nicely to head coach Shane Beatty’s American style of football. He would make five interceptions last year as a Giant to lead the club. “I think it’s a beautiful place and I love the coach there, he’s a really good coach and it suits me well,” McConnel said. “With all the team members, I really fit in well there...I took some time think about it and think about what’s best for me and best for my future. I thought if I come to Kelowna, Coach Beatty has some good connections so that’s what real-

ly made me think about coming.” Also signing is defensive tackle Manu Eli from Medicine Hat. Known for his power at 5-foot-9, 260 pounds, Eli has travelled an interesting road to the Sun. Eli, who has a very strong faith, has been on his Mission after graduating from McCoy Catholic High School in Medicine Hat two years ago. He was in Singapore and Asia with his outreach in Burma and Cambodia teaching youth and the communities the Gospel. Originally recruited out of high school by the Sun, Eli says there was only one place he wanted to play after his Mission. “I use to live in Kelowna so if I was going to go anywhere I wanted to go back there. It feels a bit more homie. The community (Kelowna) was always nice when I lived there, I love it, and

it’s beautiful. I really like the staff and the coaches, I really felt welcomed.” The third signee is running back/receiver Deion Bain, another product of the Chilliwack Giants midget program. Bain was in Kelowna for spring camp and was impressed with the offense head Coach Shane Beatty has developed. “It’s a real speed based offense, which I really like. I just liked how everyone was hard hitting, it was really good.” In 2012, Bain was recruited by the University of Saskatchewan out of W.J. Mouat in Abbotsford, a year after Sun quarterback Cam Bedore graduated. The Sun opens main camp on July 5, with the 2013 season opener at home on July 27 against the Valley Huskers at the Apple Bowl.

Rhodes top woman at Blackwell 15K road run Kelowna’s Cindy Rhodes was the top woman finisher at seventh stop of the season on Interior Running Association’s road series. Rhodes (F 55-59) completed last Sunday’s Blackwell Dairy 15 K in Kamloops in one hour five minutes 41 seconds, good for 10th place overall among 155 runners.

Merritt’s Hans Aabye easily won his fourth straight IRA race in a time of 51:29, 4 1/2 minutes ahead of Ryan Day of Cache Creek. The top Kelowna man was John Wickenheiser (55-59) who was 11th in 1:06:23. Other age group winners from Kelowna/West Kelowna: Randy Wer-

The host Kelowna B1 team hoisted the championship trophy at the 2013 edition of the Bill McBain Memorial ‘Raised in a Cage’ Peewee Lacrosse Tournament. In Sunday’s gold medal final at Memorial Arena, the Kelowna boys overcame a slow start to defeat Shuswap 6-3. Shuswap led 3-2 after the opening 20 minutes, with Tyler Johnstone and Callum Hymers scoring goals for the home side. After a scoreless second frame, the hosts erupted for four unanswered goals in the third period to secure the tournament title. Bradley Swecera scored a hat-trick in the third, while Tyler Johnstone added the other. In the round robin, the Kelowna B1 squad defeated West Kootenay 100, lost to Shuswap 4-2 and defeated Kelowna B2 6-5. In the semifinal, the B1s downed the B2s again, this time by a 4-2 score. The tournament champs are: Taelyn Lowe, Dimitri Pasutto, Hayden Mitchell, Andrew Cashin, Joe Prohuska, Matthew Sapieha and Andrew Knopf, Cooper Russell, Tyler Johnston, Taye Parmar, Bradley Swecera, Patrick Ferrie, Zachary McGill, Callum Hymers and Kevin Avigdor. The head coaches are Brad Swecera and Dale Sapieha, and assistants are Todd Johnston and Todd Cashin. The tournament is held annually in honour of the late Bill McBain, a lacrosse builder and coach in Kelowna for two decades.

Paul Gehring, opened the season with a split of four games last weekend in Trail. On Saturday, Game 1 saw a solid, complete game performance from winning pitcher Dawson Newman, who allowed just one run and three hits in a 4-1 win. Rio Shishido went 3-for-4 and Jared Johnson homered for Kelowna. In Game 2, the Jays scored a single run in the first inning and made it stand up for a 1 -0 win. OC Coyotes pitcher, Gage Mclaren, tossed a nifty four-hitter striking out six for his first PIL win. On Sunday, the Orioles responded by beating the Jays twice 5-3 and 8-4. The rust showed in both games as both Braeden Heyland and Johrn Kaluzniak never got comfortable on the mound. Corey Smith homered in the first game of the day.

fort and grit of the team this weekend, we are step-

ping up to the challenge and being competitive.”

Resentment Resentment is that feeling of ill will that a victim of a real or perceived wrong, insult or injury, harbors against the one who wronged, insulted or injured the victim. Have you ever been the victim of a wrong, insult, or injury and harbored resentment against another? I have. However, resentment is toxic. The Bible says we must avoid it. “Resentment kills a fool and envy slays the simple.” (Job 5:2) This modern day fable illustrates the point. Two brothers inherited their father’s general store in a thriving prairie town. For years they worked together in complete harmony. However, one day that all changed. The younger brother left a one dollar bill on one of the store’s two cash registers. He felt compelled to help a customer out of the store with a large purchase. He vowed to put the bill in the register once he had had helped the customer. The errand would only take a minute and no one was around to touch the bill. Once the customer’s purchase was safely loaded in his car, the helpful brother returned to the store. When he took his place behind the register he found the dollar bill was gone. He noticed his older brother at the next till. He asked him whether he has seen the dollar bill. The older brother declared that he had not seen a dollar bill on either register. The younger brother got down on his knees and checked everywhere around the registers. He opened both the registers and carefully searched for the bill. “What do you mean that you haven’t seen a dollar bill?” the younger brother demanded, “Money does not just get up and walk away.” The younger brother could not let it go. He questioned his older brother incessantly about the dollar bill. He wanted to know what happened to that single dollar bill. The brothers began to resent one another. The younger brother was sure his older brother had pocketed the dollar bill, thereby, depriving him of the 50 cents of that dollar that rightfully belonged to him! The older brother was deeply hurt by his brother’s attitude. His younger brother was accusing him of being a thief! Why would he pocket a single dollar and deprive his younger brother of the 50 cents that was rightfully his? The resentment grew between the brothers as each hour, day and week passed. Eventually, they resolved to dissolve their partnership and divide the store in two. They literally put up a dividing wall in the middle of their building. Each was left with an equal part of the building. Each brother vowed to remain in the retail business. Each ran a general store in his space. They competed with one another mercilessly. Each tried to undercut the other in price. Each was bent on ruining the other one’s business. The animosity spread from the brothers to their wives and their children. Each family spread ugly rumors about the other family around town. On the one hand, the town-folk were appalled by the brothers’ behavior; on the other hand, they were happy to accept the low prices.

It is said that harboring feelings of resentment against another person is like swallowing poison with the hope and expectation that the poison swallowed will hurt the resented person. This principal is illustrated here. Because of the disappearance of a single dollar bill, one brother came to harbor ill will against the other. “You’re a thief,” thought the younger brother of his elder brother. “You’re a liar, you took the money and you are blaming me and thus making me a scapegoat,” thought the older brother of the younger one. This resentment led to a desire to hurt and embarrass the other. Each brother wanted to run the other’s business into the ground. They chose price wars and ugly rumors as the means to the evil end. The thing about price wars is this: you can only sell at a cut-rate so long. Small or no profits from sales would eventually cause them to use their savings to run their businesses. When savings ran out, their businesses would fail. When each brother’s family spread ugly rumors about the other brother and his family, both families were hurt. The gossip spread by one family against the other would cause the townsfolk to lower their opinion of the family that was the subject of the gossip. However, the family spreading the lies would be viewed by the same people as vindictive spreaders of gossip. The means by which they chose to hurt one another put their put their businesses, their families’ well-being, and their reputations, at risk. By their toxic behavior toward one another, each brother and his family had figuratively swallowed poison in order to hurt the other. The words of Job 5:2 took on flesh for the brothers. They became trapped and ensnared by their resentment and engaged in a struggle in which, if they were in their right minds, they would have told each other to stop at once! They were acting like fools and on the road to perdition. Fools are incapable of changing their behavior, they need help from the outside. Thankfully the feud ended just as mysteriously as it had begun. One day, stranger came into town driving the latest Mercedes Benz SUV. He went into the older brother’s store. He explained that he had a confession to make. Some ten years ago, he had been in this store. The clerk had gone out to help a customer. The stranger had spied a one dollar bill on the register. At the time, he was down on his luck. He needed that dollar to buy a bus ticket that would get him to the oil patch up north, a good job and eventually huge success. The man asked for forgiveness. The older brother forgave the stranger and asked him to repeat his story to the shopkeeper next door. The stranger complied. Within minutes, the younger brother entered the older brother’s store. He asked his older brother to forgive him for all the wrongs he had perpetrated against his brother. The older brother did the same, asking his younger brother to forgive him. They embraced and wept. They tore down the wall that divided their store and formed a partnership again. Their new business thrived. They expanded their business into surrounding towns. Their sons and daughters

become involved in the family business and learned to work together in harmony. This story had a happy ending. However, it could have gone the other way. It took a stranger’s confession to point the brothers to the truth about how far they had sunk. They had been willing to ruin one another and their respective families for a lousy dollar. When resentment rears its ugly head and sets in, it may impossible to let go of it. Who would do such a silly and illogical thing? However, it is easy to get trapped. Have you ever harbored resentment and a grudge against another which, upon sober reflection, was really a trifling matter? We can’t let resentment take hold. What can we do about it? There are two things. First, when we are the victim of what we perceive to be a wrong, insult, or injury, we have to stop immediately and assess the magnitude of the wrong. We have to ask whether the wrong is really worth stewing over and letting feelings of resentment begin. If it is not a big deal, forgive and forget for your own sake. However, if the injury is real and very hurtful, Jesus has a plan. He first invites you have a God-filled heart and mind. He wants your most passionate desire to be to win over your brother or sister; that is, to convince your brother or sister that he/she hurt you and that you do not want to resent him/ her for it. You want him/her to acknowledge the wrong done and seek forgiveness. Jesus wants your overwhelming desire to be to forgive your brother/sister. Jesus wants you to pray to him and ask that He go before you and prepare your brother’s or sister’s heart to hear your confession of hurt, acknowledge that he/ she hurt you, and to be open to ask you for forgiveness. Jesus wants you to believe that He will go with you and if you gather with the brother/sister that hurt you in Jesus’ name, He will be there sitting between you and your brother/sister and the hope for reconciliation and peace is thus very real. Jesus promises all this: read Matthew 18:19-20. If you and your brother/sister can reconcile, you can both enjoy health, vitality and even a brighter and more abundant future. Are harboring resentment? Do you need an intervention by Jesus? We meet with Him on Sunday mornings at Grace at 9:00 and 10:30 AM. Join us! He can heal you and those who hurt you! In Christ, Pastor Ed Skutshek

FOR THE SECOND year in a row, Westside Road is in the running for the infamous title of Worst Road in the province, according to BCAA. Final results of BCAA’s survey will be released next week. JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

▼ PUBLIC SAFETY

Westside Road still rated among the worst in B.C. Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Joyce Street) in Vancouver. Last year BCAA named Westside Road the worst road in the province, with 87 per cent of voters citing potholes and crumbling pavement as the biggest issue. Niela Melanio, public affairs and media specialist for BCAA, said the official results for 2013 will likely be released next week. She added the total number of tallies appears to be less than last year.

Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart said earning the undesired title in 2012 likely secured some extra funding for improvements. “That survey helped (take) some resources that had been recovered from other savings and other programs,” said Stewart. “We got $4.5 million into two fairly significant road improvement projects. I was lobbying hard to get some improvement projects, but the way it was going, we might’ve

only gotten $1- or $2 million per year.” Stewart said the $4.5 million, announced in 2012, has gone toward realignment and widening of two sections: Near Blue Grouse Road and at Cinnabar Creek. He added a “significant paving contract,” which he wasn’t allowed to announce during the election, is also forthcoming on Westside Road. Stewart said that work is “over a couple million dollars.”

The Westside-Kelowna MLA admitted more work needs to be done, specifically some “big ticket items” that would likely involve digging into the hillside to widen the road. “I’ll be satisfied when you can drive it 70 km/h safely to Vernon,” said Stewart. Central Okanagan West Electoral Area director Jim Edgson has been a long-time advocate of improvements to Westside Road. He said he is grateful for recent upgrades.

“I have to compliment the Ministry of Transportation because they’ve put a fair amount of money into that road over the last year,” said Edgson. Edgson isn’t concerned about the final results of the BCAA survey. “I don’t really care if Westside Road is number one, number two or number three. I think it’s extremely important that the (improvement) plans that have come about, continue.”

▼ PROPERTYTAXES

West Kelowna tax notices distributed More than 13,000 property owners in the District of West Kelowna can expect their 2013 tax notices in the mail this week. Taxes are due by 4:30 p.m. Friday, July 5 and can be paid through most financial institutions (online or in person), by mail or courier to 2760 Cameron Road, West Kelowna, B.C. V1Z 2T6, or in personal at Municipal Hall (2760 Cameron Road) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, excluding holidays. As well, a drop box is

located on the wall to the right of the main entrance. Ensure payment is placed in an envelope, stapled to accompanying paperwork and forms are completed in full. Do not pay by cash in the drop box. Avoid line-ups by claiming the Home Owner Grant at districtofwestkelowna.ca and following the instructions. Once you’ve claimed the grant, you can also pay taxes online by selecting the link to your financial institution and selecting “West Kelowna—Taxes”

as the bill payee. While efforts are made to create efficiencies during tax season, there are several ways to minimized delays. If claiming a Home Owner Grant in person, ensure the application on your tax notice is completed in full and signed before visiting the tax wicket. Apply for your Home Owner Grant, regardless of method of payment (for example, whether taxes are paid through pre-authorized payment plan or by a mortgage company).

If paying by cheque, fill it out in advance, including your tax roll number on the cheque made payable to the District of West Kelowna. Current taxes not paid by the close of business on July 5 are subject to a 10 per cent penalty. If you are unable to pay your full tax bill, you can reduce the penalty by paying as much as possible and by claiming your Home Owner Grant by July 5. Please note that postmarks are not accepted as proof of payment date.

Understanding the distress of looking after a loved one

Kelowna family caregiver Donna Rabbit knows all too well the stresses that can come from caring for a loved one. Rabbit’s mother was diagnosed with early onset dementia three years ago. Recently, her mother’s health had come to a point day sale_May31 5/27/13 where she needed more

full-time care, so Rabbit moved her mother into her home with her and her family. As small business owners, she and her husband are away from home for the majority of the day and did not feel comfortable leaving her mother alone. “I have three other sib3:50 PM Page 1 lings who live in Kelow-

na, but we all have busy lives,” Rabbit said. She turned to Home Instead as a professional caregiver for additional support. Rabbit is just one of thousands of British Columbians who spend what little time they get away from their jobs caring for an elderly family member or loved one. This type of caregiving comes as a result of the love held for those in need, but often brings with it unpredictable stress and related health problems for the care provider. Don Henke, owner of Home Instead Senior

Care servicing Kelowna, knows first-hand the stress that can develop when devoting so much time and energy to caring for a loved one. Trying to find the proper balance between being a caregiver, while managing work, family and personal obligations can be a difficult task for any family. That is why Home Instead is providing these four key tips for caregivers: 1. Acknowledge feelings. It’s okay to feel conflicting feelings of guilt, anger and love as a caregiver. 2. Release your feel-

ings in a safe way. Journaling, joining a support group or talking to a therapist can be effective. 3. Manage the situation. Talk to your family members, trusted friends, faith community, or consider professional care giving support. 4. Find solutions. Relaxing is one option. Keep a list and build in mini breaks or bite-sized getaways—15 minutes at a time. Rabbit is willing to speak out on this issue and is urging others in her position to take care of their own physical and mental health.

WHO’S AT RISK?

Can caring for your loved one put you at risk for serious health issues? Two new tools were unveiled this month to help answer that question. Millions of Canadians caring for a senior can now assess whether they may be at risk for emotional and physical issues, including depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and even obesity. More than two million Canadians currently provide care to a loved one with chronic health problems or disabilities. Seventy per cent of caregivers acknowledge

to loyal Tim Hortons guests and generous restaurant owners, Camp Day raised a record $11 million in 2012, which helped send more than 15,000 deserving kids from economically disadvantaged homes on a once-in a-lifetime camping adventure. THIS YEAR CAMP DAY IS ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5TH, and with your support we'll be able to send over 16,000 children to camp this year.

that providing care to their loved one has an impact on their stress levels. The rates of caregiver distress are significantly higher among caregivers caring for a loved one with severe cognitive problems, such as Alzheimer’s or related dementias. In response to this growing healthcare issue, Home Instead Senior Care has launched a public awareness campaign—Family Caregiver Stress Relief. The website is www. FamilyCaregiverStressRelief.com, as the program is designed to help family caregivers determine if they are at risk for distress and to provide methods to minimize problems before they escalate. Included in the program are two new tools: The Are You a Caregiver Quiz, which is designed to help a family caregiver self-identify and recognize the role of a caregiver, and the Family Caregiver Distress Assessment, developed by Dr. Peter Vitaliano of the University of Washington, which allows caregivers to determine their risk for distress and resulting emotional and physical issues, including depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. “So many spouses and adult children are unaware of their potential risk of caregiver distress because they don’t see themselves as caregivers,” said Don Henke, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Kelowna. “These new resources enable them to understand their role, the stresses they may face as a caregiver, and how that stress might lead to more serious health effects.”

Play an hour a day

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

Does your child play for 90 minutes a day? How about just one hour? According to the Public Health Agency of Canada and Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, children need just one hour of active playtime daily—down from the previous 90-minute recommendation—and sadly, Canadian kids still aren’t getting it. “Here in the Okanagan we’re blessed with being in a place with so much outdoor space to play, but culturally, they’re just not getting (out there),” said Kelly Howard, marketing director of the YMCA Okanagan, and the event planner behind this weekend’s YMCA Healthy Kids Day. Healthy Kids Day is a fun event designed to combat the sedentary lifestyle that’s made sitting with an iPad more attractive than a basketball game or running around in the park. The Canadian Health Measures Survey, done in 2011, recorded the activity of 1,600 children and youth aged six to 19. Only seven per cent were active enough to improve their overall heath. The YMCA wants to make switching to a healthy lifestyles more attractive, and by pulling together businesses and non-profit organizations dedicated to helping improve children’s health and well-being for this one-day event, the local YMCA is leading the charge to stem the tide of inactivity. YMCA Healthy Kids Day became a national event this year, and the Kelowna YMCA was in-

vited onto the steering committee as it has designed such an outstanding way to celebrate healthy living. “We’re unique because we’re a one day, big community event,” explained Howard, noting many of the other locations were holding activities inside their facilities for members only. YMCA Healthy Kids day has been running for eight years out of the YMCA’s Rutland location and now incorporates 30 community partners offering kids a passport to fill with stamps from each activity station. The more stamps, the more chances to win the draw for a six-month YMCA family membership. The events aren’t complicated. The Kelowna Fire Department stages an obstacle course, there are skipping and hula hoop competitions, Fortis brings its healthy energy and science program and the YMCA’s newly renovated gym is open providing a chance to shoot

some hoops. There is also a barbecue. “It’s a dietician approved, low-fat, low-sodium turkey dog,” said Howard. “And they usually go quickly.” Sun-Rype offers up fruit snacks to add to offerings from Okanagan vending, and when kids are done eating there’s a climbing wall to challenge them. “YMCA Healthy Kids Day is designed to get kids and families excited about staying active, safe, connected and healthy,” said Sharon Peterson, CEO of Okanagan YMCA. “At YMCA Healthy Kids Day, families learn together about healthy habits in a playful and interactive festival setting that includes nutrition, environmental health, social supports, career exploration, personal health and safety.” The event runs Sunday, June 2, noon to 4 p.m., at the Kelowna Family Y, 375 Hartman Rd.

Tunes that won’t fly under radar

wonder if anyone anywhere has conducted research on the phenomenon of getting a song stuck in one’s head. Why does it happen that when we overhear or call to mind a line from a song, we are soon listening to the whole thing in our heads, sometimes for an entire day? Over and over we loop back to it, with no control! Sometimes this feels enjoyable, other times terribly annoying. Well, without being able to explain it then, this is likely going to happen to departing passengers and their well-wishers at the Kelowna International Airport for the next six months. Why? Because of the new art commission installed there by Lake Country-based artist Wanda Lock. Lock has created a 36-foot-long mural for the Kelowna Art Gallery’s

ON VIEW

Liz Wylie 40-foot-long art wall at YLW, all on the theme of flight. Along with images of flying machines, she has excerpted snippets of popular songs that involve leaving on jet planes, flying high, etc. Wanda Lock is fond of literature and the power of words and has been using text in her visual art for many years now. Often these are single lines, or fragments of lines, sometimes more-orless standing as captions, other times as thoughts or spoken words by the figures depicted in her scenes. In this mural the lines

from songs form a strong compositional component, along with her depictions of all sorts of celestial craft, for example, a flying saucer, an old biplane, a dirigible, a plane that looks like the Kitty Hawk, a whirly-gig, a jet plane, a hot air balloon and a Lear Jet. All these elements are set on a background of various beautiful colours of blue. Evidently Lock has considered the role of the people walking by her piece at the airport and hit on providing this fanciful meditation on the history of flying machines over the last 100 years or so, as well as bytes from some of the popular songs composed around flight. Because the art wall is located in the departures area, many of the songs from which Lock has quoted are about farewells (“Kiss me and smile for me”). It is not only the sub-

ject of flight that Lock has considered, but also the experience of those people viewing her work. It would be fascinating to know how many of those people who walk by her piece on the way to security find themselves later singing one of the songs Lock has quoted from. Perhaps as their plane takes off and they look down to Kelowna and Okanagan Lake dropping beneath them, they will start humming a song that will stay stuck in their minds for hours (“…the one I love forever is untrue”). Wanda Lock grew up in the Okanagan and studied art at Okanagan University College and then at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. She has been exhibiting professionally since 1993. Her work is

fter Earth had very humble beginnings as a story about a father and son on a camping trip that goes horribly wrong and becomes a fight for survival.

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis Then Will Smith got involved and he realized that the idea had greater potential and with the help of screenwriter Gary Whitta (The Book of Eli) and screenwriter-director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense), the concept is now a bigbudget sci-fi action movie set 1,000 years in Earth’s future. Smith had his son in mind to play the son and had not originally intended to play his father in the movie, but eventually decided to take on the role. A millennia after the human race abandoned Earth, it has re-established itself on a planet outside our solar system called Nova Prime. Smith plays a peacekeeping general named Cypher Raige who is encouraged by his wife to take his son and new recruit Kitai on a mission to Earth. During the journey, their ship is damaged in an asteroid field and crash lands on the planet. Injured and alone, the two must retrieve an emergency beacon by embarking on a perilous journey across uncharted terrain to signal for help. However, not only must they navigate unfamiliar territory, they will encounter the dangerous animal species that have evolved without the hindrance of humans and now dominate the planet. Not only did Smith envision the simple father-son survival story into a much bigger concept for a movie, it is being developed into a multi-platform franchise. A 300page “bible” has been written, covering the history of mankind from their decision to leave Earth

ISLA FISHER (left to right), Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and James Franco star as illusionists who pull off unique crimes in NowYou See Me. right up to the events in the film. This is being developed into a series of spin-off novels authored by the likes of Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman and Robert Greenberger, who are not only well known in the comic book industry, but also famous for novelizations of movies and TV shows. Although After Earth looks to be the higher profile movie of the two being released this weekend, Now You See Me boasts an impressive cast

and an intriguing concept of replacing Robin Hood’s bow and arrow with magic. An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists known as The Four Horsemen who pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performance. But instead of keeping it for themselves, they shower the stolen profits on their audiences while somehow staying one step ahead of the law.

The cast includes Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. Director Louis Leterrier is best known for the first two Transporter movies as well as The Incredible Hulk.

Third Hangover not worst movie ever HANGOVER PART III

Well, it wasn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen but it doesn’t have the really funny lines that are so frequent in the previous two Hangover movies. It’s been two years since the “Wolf Pack” has been together and for the most part the lives of Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zack Galifanakis) and Doug (Jus-

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen tin Bartha) have been fairly normal, although Alan seems to be getting worse and is off his meds. This time, however, there is no bachelor party, so what could possibly go wrong? Plenty, as it turns out. Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) is back and plays his usual mad, obsessive self and gets everyone in trouble again. He plays everyone for a sucker, including Marshall (John Goodman), who doesn’t

take kindly to Chow’s antics. Both Sean Penn and Robert Downey Jr. were considered for the role of Marshall. Personally, I think Goodman did well in the role. Another player in the mix was Cassie, a small part for Melissa McCarthy and not particularly funny, but if you see the show, you’ll realize she is integral in the film’s ending—and it is the end of the series. We will see no more Hangover films, and some of us are not sorry. I did love the soundtrack to this film and if you’ve seen the other two, I guess it’s fitting that you should see this one. It didn’t beat out Fast and Furious over the U.S.

Memorial Day weekend. Fast and Furious brought in $39 million, while Hangover Part III only managed $14.5. It remains to be seen if this changes, but there sure wasn’t much to endorse here—most of the characters seemed sick of each other and lacking chemistry. Zack Galifanakis as Alan is the one who brings the most to the show and the others just seem to be bit players at best. There was a bit of a goof in the pawn shop scene where Cassie crunches on a lollipop and, in the next shot, the lollipop was whole again. And there are a couple of short-lived car chases that are marginally exciting,

but for most of the show it’s just going through the motions. All in all though, I’d save your money and hold off for something way more interesting. Comedy should be witty, clever and of the moment. This one tries too hard and uses absurd scenarios—often truly offensive rather than comedic. No, it wasn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but it was close. I give Hangover Part III one reel (and that’s for the giraffe).

▼ BIKETO WORK WEEK

Impatient motorists, irritated cyclists missing the point W ith our ever growing (in girth) population, it seems to me that the main topic of discussion for “bike to work week” should be how to motivate us all to choose the healthier commuting option. Instead, the main topic of discussion is about cyclists and motorists, and cyclists and pedestrians, sharing the available space from point A to point B. It seems we don’t share well, particularly in comparison to some other countries, with much denser populations, where masses of cyclist and pedestrians manage to co-

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott exist with motorists. The main discussion feature seems to be motorists bellyaching about cyclists. Cyclists are “vehicles” under traffic laws and many of those darned cyclists appear to ignore those laws. Road safety is raised, when you listen to the points raised by motor-

ists and their tone when raising those points, road safety takes the back burner. I don’t hear motorists expressing genuine concern for the safety of cyclists. If safety was the genuine concern, instead of bellyaching I would hear suggestions and strategies about how to protect cyclists. I would hear things like: “It is dangerous for cyclists to ride at the very edge of a road, as sometimes there is an edge where the asphalt ends and loose gravel begins that can cause a cyclist to lose control, so give cyclist lots of room when

A $50,000 grant for Red Cross The Red Cross support and disaster operations training room will receive $50,000 in upgrades, the cost to be covered by a grant from the federal government. “By making these investments in local infrastructure, we are helping families and communities renew valuable community assets while creating jobs and economic growth,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan.

The funds will be used to upgrade the washrooms and install new carpet, noise insulation panels, exterior doors and signage. “The grant has been instrumental in helping Red Cross help those who need it most,” said Kimberley Nemrava, Red Cross director for B.C./Yukon. “This generous funding will allow volunteers and the public to learn how to be safe from injury, and to prepare for and respond during disasters.”

passing them.” Maybe, someone would call into a radio show and say: “I felt horrible when a young person on a bicycle pulled out directly in front of my car and I almost hit her. I have learned an important lesson that when coming up behind a child on a bicycle I need to expect the unexpected, slow right down, give a little honk to make sure the child knows I’m there, and then carefully pass.” Instead, I hear impatient and irritated complaints about those annoying cyclists. Perhaps we want to deflect attention from the motivation problem. It’s much easier for us motorists to bellyache about cyclists than to seriously consider why we aren’t joining them. Perhaps we’re just jealous. There we are, sit-

ting on our butts in our polluting vehicles that we pay to insure, maintain and fill with gas, our mid-sections continuing to grow, while those cyclists are burning a bunch of calories, getting fresh air, while doing the same commute that we do. It’s understandable, I suppose, that we get irritated when cyclists get in our way. That’s really what it’s about, isn’t it? They get in our way. Why are we so damned selfish and self-centred? Bike to Work Week marks an anniversary for me as well—one of my (regretfully former) staff took it upon herself to motivate the office to get on our bicycles for Back to Work Week a few years ago. She was a very experienced cyclist. She always wore her helmet.

On her way home, on her bicycle, within two blocks of my office, an impatient motorist crowded her off the asphalt edge, causing her to lose control and suffer a serious brain injury that she is continuing to recover from today. I invite you to read Deb’s story on OneCrashisTooMany.com.

Adventure race Vacant administrative position filled around Kelowna Join the fun and excitement of Capital One Race for Kids on Saturday, June 1. The event, called an urban adventure race, takes place in Kelowna and 19 other communities across Canada. In support of Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, teams of four will compete in a series of 10 Checkpoint Challenges in a race to the finish line. It’s a cross between Minute-to-Win-It and the Amazing Race and the checkpoints feature activities that focus the mind and challenge the body. Funds raised by Capital One Race for Kids will support more than 6,000 children and youth who rely on Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs programs and services each year. To register your team of four or to support a team entry, visit the website www.raceforkids.ca. The race begins at noon and finishes at 3:30 p.m. The start and finish line is located at Jaycees Downtown Youth Centre, 633 Richter St. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs are leading providers of programs to children and youth to support their healthy physical, educational and social development. Each centre creates a safe, supportive environment where children and youth experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life. The programs focus on an individual’s strengths and capabilities, and all programs embrace the principles of equality and inclusion. The boys’ and girls’ club helps young people grow healthy, happy and safely from birth to adulthood, and are a resource and support for parents.

The B.C. government will go ahead with its plan for Alberta-style senate elections if it proves impossible to scrap the senate altogether, Premier Christy Clark said this week. Clark issued a statement in response to the controversy over senate

expense claims that has gripped Ottawa. On record as preferring the senate be scrapped, Clark declined to comment on federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s statement to a Montreal newspaper that the senate should be preserved because Quebec has 24 senators and Alberta and B.C. have only six each.

Computer tools help bring a new perspective to humanities For Constance Crompton, the idea that the humanities could be thoroughly researched, created and archived through digital media presents a tantalizing proposition. No longer would a project’s scope be limited by space constrictions or become outdated after publication. Instead, history, philosophy, literature, languages, art, music, cultural studies or archeology scholarship could be curated and comprehensively assembled into an authoritative web presence through contributing scholars from around the globe. This hybrid of technology and study has grown into the emerging field of Digital Humanities. Crompton, the first faculty member at UBC Okanagan to teach digital humanities, is among its leading advocates. “It was the idea of theorizing and building digital scholarly content that intrigued me and set digital humanities apart from conventional study,” says Crompton, an assistant professor in the critical studies department. Computer technology and digital tools provide the ability to analyze, visualize, map and encode text. The result is rich, diverse content collections that can be studied and mined by researchers for sets of data. Among scholarly pursuits, one of the best examples of digital humanities is the Rossetti Archive (www.rossettiarchive.org), a hypermedia collection by the U.S. National Endowment of the Humanities of the complete writings and pictures of influential 19th-century British poet and artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The project took more than a decade to complete and is considered the world’s most authoritative source of information

—at first—for students who have not previously delved into advanced search methods, online library catalogues or use of coding. But, says Crompton, it is empowering as one learns how to harness the technology. “Coding in itself is a creative act. It lets you take control of the computer and make your own ideas manifest.” Crompton sees UBCO’s curriculum building to the point that a minor in digital humanities is eventually available. There is also potential for a fruitful interdisciplinary partnership with computer sciences, she says. “We are just in the opening to stages—to my mind, humanists have a lot to offer the digital world.” •••

Ideas about the humanities get a full airing over the next week or so. Humanists will gather to share their experiences and knowledge at the University of Victoria from June 1 to 8 at one of the largest conferences of its kind, Congress2013 (uviccongress2013.ca/). With 70 organizations represented by 8,000 to 10,000 delegates, it provides an opportunity for both conventional and digital humanities scholars to discuss their interests and compare methodologies. Constance Crompton looks forward to meeting with collaborators from the Universities of Alberta, Ryerson, Victoria and Toronto. Congress is an excellent venue for idea exchange, she says. “The multi-conference format lets scholars break out of the silo of a

about Rossetti. Crompton’s interests in digital study began when, as a doctoral student researching fin-desiècle, or late 19th century media, she found other academics using technology to transform how they investigated and learned. Now digital humanities has evolved across two streams: Building textual models at academic institutions and developing digital tools and applications. Such digital applications as visualization ofenthe Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen gines and bibliographical and mapping management tools open a whole new world for learning, disseminating and teaching, says Crompton.

Congress also serves another important function for digital humanists and other academics who need to build the personal relationships that underpin large research projects. “Digital humanities projects tend to be large

and multi-institutional and Congress gives project collaborators a place to discuss the coming year face-to-face,” said Crompton. ••• The digital humanities program is gearing up for the winter 2013 term at UBC Okanagan. Crompton and Margaret Reeves will teach a second-year, six-credit course in children’s literature and publishing

—a novel and interdisciplinary course examining children’s literature, its traditional literary expression in print and new discoveries with online publishing and app creation. Also being offered is a second-term course called The Self Conscious Text for third-year students interested in student-led humanities research, including visualizing, mapping and encoding.

Ken Jerome “Uncle Buck” April 19, 1953 - May 13, 2013

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ken Mead after a courageous battle with cancer. Predeceased by his mother Geraldine, father James, brother Mike, brother-in-law Graham and granddaughter Raelyn. Survived by his loving wife Jeanne; children Candice Palmer (Mike), Jason (Lillian) and Shane Cieckievic; Ken’s brother Kevin (Lorena); sister Brenda (Bruce); grandchildren Megan, Essai, Alyssa, Jamie and Shayla.

He was born in Vernon, B.C. but grew up in various places: Falkland, Kamloops, Quesnel, Prince George, Horsefly, New West, Oyama and Kelowna. Ken worked as a gas and plumbing inspector for the City of Kelowna and eventually moved to Bridge Lake to enjoy retirement. Ken founded and ran TNT, a fly tying club, from his garage in Kelowna for many years and his fishing buddies still make an annual fishing trip to the Nehalliston Plateau. Ken enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, hunting, kids, his dog, woodworking and working with his hands in general. Special thank you to Dr. Street and the medical staff at 100 Mile Hospital for all their care and caring. There will be a celebration of life at a later date. Rest in peace Ken, will miss you forever. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to: 100 Mile House Palliative Care Society, Box 399, 100 Mile House, BC V0K 2E0, or the SPCA.

MILROY, JOHN GORDON April 22, 1928 ~ May 26, 2013

John Gordon Milroy passed away in Westbank, BC at the age of 85 years. Born April 22, 1928, the second son born to Nellie and Gordon Milroy at Powell River BC. He is survived by his older brother Jim and two younger sisters, Ellen and Elsie. Growing up beside the ocean he developed a lifelong love for the water... spending many happy times on his boat rowing, cruising and fishing with his siblings as happy tagalongs. John often visited the Okanagan working in the orchards of Glenrosa, later coming back to make it home in 1954. He found steady work for two ambitious brothers who had started an upstart company now embedded in the community of Westbank - ‘Gorman Bros Lumber’. He continued there until retiring in1993 at age 65. John met his future wife Marjorie Currie while working at Gormans, and they were married April 16, 1960, followed by 6 children including two sets of twins and later 10 grandchildren. John was saved at age 14 by God’s grace receiving Christ as his personal Saviour. He enjoyed many happy years of fellowship with the Christians at Highway Gospel Hall where he faithfully attended the Lord’s remembrance meeting and enjoyed hearing the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Johns later retirement years he was happiest surrounded by the love of his family and listening to his favourite hymns. The Lord was very gracious and called John home quickly following a brief illness in which there was no suffering. He passed into the presence of The Lord in the early hours of May 26. We will always hold dear his quiet, reserved and gracious manner and look forward to being with him again in the presence of our Lord. His family would like to thank those that ‘cared’ & ‘loved’ him. Pine Acres was his final home and we are very thankful for the loving care provided to him. Funeral to take place Thursday May 30, 2013 at 10:30 am at the Highway Gospel Hall, 2549 Hebert Road, Westbank, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and searching his name under stories. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services Kelowna. Ph: 250-762-2299

Downgrading of endangered species legislation troubling

SCIENCE MATTERS

David Suzuki of the times, introduced legislation in 1971, and then revised it, passing an improved Endangered Species Act in 2007, which scientists and conservationists now consider the gold standard of wildlife protection law in Canada and beyond. Unlike the U.S., much of our country is Crown land, managed by provincial governments on behalf of citizens. In other words, government stewards nature on our behalf. The primary mandate of these acts is to protect the areas species need to survive. In Canada, habitat loss and degradation are the primary causes of decline for more than 80 per cent of listed species. Sadly, we seem to be entering a new phase— environmental deregulation. Now, when habitat needs to be protected to ensure the survival of a species, government and industry often balk and backpedal. This signals a failure to understand that we depend on nature for our well-being and survival. The web of living things cleanses, replenishes and creates air, water, soil and photosynthetic energy. Species in danger of extinction inform us that our activity is under-

And now, Ontario is poised to weaken its Endangered Species Act by creating a range of exemptions so industry will not have to follow its habitat-protection requirements.

{

n the early 1970s, a significant shift occurred in the relationship between North Americans and the world we live in. People started to recognize that nature’s bounty isn’t bottomless and that human activities often strain the Earth’s limits. Across Canada and the U.S., faced with society’s perpetual penchant for economic growth as an end unto itself, many people started to advocate for protecting nature lest it be irreparably broken by our actions. A 1970 Vancouver benefit concert against nuclear testing in Amchitka, Alaska, launched Greenpeace. Earth Day also started that year. The famous picture taken from space by Apollo 17 astronauts, revealing the Earth to be a finite and vulnerable ‘blue marble,’ was shared with the world in 1972. In 1973, the U.S. recognized that resource extraction, development and land conversion were destroying wildlife homes and ranges to the point that their continued existence was at risk. It passed the Endangered Species Act, to protect plants and animals from extinction as a “consequence of economic growth and development untempered by adequate concern and conservation.” Canada’s Species at Risk Act wasn’t passed until 2002. But Ontario, in keeping with the trend
