Christy Clark (right) can run in a byelection for his constituency seat in the B.C. legislature.
▼ WESTSIDE-KELOWNA
MLA gives up his riding for the premier ASSISTANT EDITOR
Team Okanagan has an opening for a new member. But Kelowna-Mission Liberal MLA Steve Thomson and Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal MLA Norm Letnick hope to replace their outgoing Westside-Kelowna colleague Ben Stewart with an even bigger political player, Premier Christy Clark.
Stewart, fresh off a dominating provincial election win May 14 in which he took 58 per cent of the vote in Westside-Kelowna, announced Wednesday he is stepping aside so Clark, who lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat in the election, can run here in a byelection. “It’s an important decision for the province, an important decision for the constituency of Westside-Kelowna and an important decision for myself,” said an
emotional Stewart Wednesday. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Clark under sunny but wind-swept skies at his Quail’s Gate Winery in West Kelowna Wednesday, Stewart said stepping aside for Clark did not mean he would step away from politics. He vowed to help Clark win in the riding that he has represented since 2009. Given the ease with which he won re-election in last month’s general election, Clark’s bid for

the seat is not expected to be a difficult one. Stewart’s margin of victory was the fourth highest of any Liberal elected on May 14. As expected, Clark had nothing but praise for Stewart, saying she was “humbled” by his offer to give up his seat, a gesture she said represented the values he stands for—putting the interests of the province first.

A 22-year-old woman is recovering from a head injury and sexual assault after being attacked Monday evening near the Mission Creek Greenway. The victim called police to report she had been hit over the head, dragged into the woods near the end of a trail and sexually assaulted by a man she did not know. She met police at the main entrance to Mission Creek Regional Park, off Durnin and Springfield roads, at 8:45 p.m., and a team of RCMP officers began searching for the suspect. “Police believe that there may have been hikers or riders in the area at the time of the assault who may have seen or heard this incident,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesperson. The area is an extremely well-used section of Mission Creek Regional Park and the Mission Creek Greenway, a linear trail running 16.5 kilometres from Okanagan Lake to East Kelowna. The Greenway acts as a main thoroughfare for bike commuters and recreational runners, walkers and hikers. In the area where the assault took place, smaller trails traverse both the lower portion of the park, where the Greenway sits, and an upper forested area abutting the Hall Road neighbourhood. The victim is said to have been taken to hospital for treatment and released. A description of the assailant has not been made public. The Greenway is a known hotspot for the homeless, who camp in the underbrush lining the trail; but the victim apparently has not identified her assailant as someone who appeared to be transient or living in the park. Though quick to point out RCMP never blame the victim, Clark said RCMP are cautioning anyone who frequents the area not to walk, bike or run alone. “If you must walk alone, stay alert to your surroundings, including people in the area, businesses and sources of assistance,” said Clark. The victim was apparently out for a walk at the time of the assault, which occurred during daylight hours as the time of sunset for June 3 was 9 p.m.

Kelowna geographer wins national medal
Judie Steeves
STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna author, artist and geographer Murray Roed has been presented with a national award for his “sustained, outstanding efforts in sharing earth science with Canadians.” Roed received the 2013 E.R. Ward Neale Medal at the end of May at the annual Geological Association of Canada conference in Winnipeg. As a member of the Kelowna Geology Committee, Roed spearheaded production of Geology of the Kelowna Area and more-recently, Okanagan Geology South, books written about the landforms and creation of the Okanagan Valley, in a language that assured the information would appeal to the layman. He was nominated for the award by a fellow member of that committee, John Greenough, a geochemistry professor at UBCO who was chairman of the committee and contributed to both books. He commented in his nomination letter: “These books have impacted pre-schoolers to politicians.” In addition to the books, he said Roed is a regular public speaker to groups of people of all ages and is repeatedly asked back because of his “infectious enthusiasm for geoscience.” As an accomplished artist, his ‘geoscape’ paintings illustrate the evolution of landscapes, putting geoscience on the

walls of homes, noted Greenough. Proceeds from sales of the books have gone into scholarships to encourage students to enrol in geoscience programs, yet all of his work has been on a voluntary basis, he added. “The groundbreaking accomplishments attest to a passion and devotion to geoscience that comes straight from the heart,” Greenough wrote. In 2010, when the new intersection was being constructed at Highway 97 and Westside Road, Roed explained the significance of the fact that the work uncovered a soil deposit that may be one of the oldest undisturbed soil deposits in Canada—at least 1.6 million years old and possibly even older.

Building the community theme of upcoming open house
Building on the success of a similar open house in 2011, the District of West Kelowna is again holding a “one-stop” open house that gives residents an opportunity to quickly get up to speed and provide input on plans and capital projects that the municipality is currently working on. Your Community Open House will be held Thursday, June 13, between 3 and 7 p.m., at
Royal LePage Place arena at the Mount Boucherie Community Centre. The district is offering giveaways, and fun games and treats for the kids. Mayor Doug Findlater said council realizes people have busy lives and an open house isn’t always an easy thing to fit in to the schedule in order to find out what’s going on in West Kelowna. “We wanted to make it convenient for our
residents, business owners and stakeholders to drop in for a few minutes and get informed on projects of interest to them—like traffic calming or proposed changes to the old ferry docks on Gellatly Road, for example—and not miss the opportunity to provide their feedback.” The mayor said many times council will hear from the community after a decision has been made; but it’s easier to consider
viewpoints before adopting plans and bylaws or starting construction. “Council values community feedback and we place high importance on hosting open houses and conducting surveys as we work to keep West Kelowna moving forward on the right track,” he said. The open house will provide information and welcome feedback on: • CNR Wharf detailed design
• Recreational Trails Master Plan • Sign Bylaw Review • Works and Services Bylaw Review • Zoning Bylaw Review • Westbank Centre Couplet • Community Amenity Contribution Policy • Current and upcoming capital projects, including Gellatly Road upgrades and Brown Road streetscape improvements
• Various municipal services including bylaw enforcement, mapping and recreation and culture • Wildfire prevention. The Regional District of Central Okanagan and Okanagan Basin Water Board have also been invited to attend the open house to provide information on the aggregate supply and demand update, emergency planning, parks, the regional growth strategy and water con-
servation and protection initiatives. Residents who are unable to attend the open house will be able to go online afterward to provide feedback on several of the plans and initiatives. A link to the surveys will be provided under the Events and Meetings tab on the municipality’s Internet home page at districtofwestkelowna.ca.
URBA to host forum to discuss planned projects for Rutland business area
The Uptown Rutland Business Association will hold a public meeting next Tuesday to gather feedback on projects
and initiatives that will impact the downtown Rutland area. The meeting will be from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Centennial
Hall, 180 Rutland Road North. Among the issues up for discussion will be BC Transit improvements, Highway
33 resurfacing and pedestrian improvements, and road maintenance. In attendance will be repre-
sentatives of URBA, the Rutland Residents Association, City of Kelowna, and the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and

Summer in Kelowna unofficially starts earlier than in many other cities. Along with the sun comes an increase in the number of events that help draw residents and visitors to the city and to local parks in particular. This coming weekend, three events are scheduled to take place in the city, giving residents of all ages something fun to do outdoors. But, according to City Hall, along with the events comes minor delays and re-routing of traffic to accommodate them. First up will be the annual Fat Cat Children’s Festival. The festival will kick off Friday and run through Saturday. This year, organizers will introduce a new parade route along Cawston Avenue and Water Street. During the festival, Waterfront Park will be open to ticket holders only on Friday, June 7, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Sat-

urday, from June 8, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Minor delays are expected along the parade route Saturday morning. Motorists are asked to follow the direction of onsite traffic control personnel. On-street parking will also be restricted. Cars parked in restricted areas will be courtesy towed to the parking lot at the corner of Doyle Avenue and Ellis Street. Minor re-routing of transit buses may also be required to avoid Cawston Avenue and the north end of Water Street during the parade. Additional closures will include: • June 7, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m—On-street parking restrictions along the west side of Water Street from Sunset Drive to the cross walk between Waterfront Park and Prospera • 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.— Waterfront Park parking lot (at the Dolphins) • June 8, 6 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.—On-street parking restrictions along parade route and marshalling area from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Waterfront Park parking lot • 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.— Road closures along Coronation Avenue (St. Paul
Street to east of Richter Street) and from Richter Street (Clement Avenue to Cawston Avenue) for parade marshalling • 9:45 a.m. to11:30 a.m.—Rolling road closures along Cawston Avenue and Water Street. Then, on Sunday, the Fresh Air Walk/Run for Women will take place in east Kelowna. The annual 5K and 10K walk/run will close East Kelowna Road, from McCulloch Road at KLO Road to Reid Road, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. to accommodate a portion of the race. Drivers are asked to be cautious and watch for runners along the route, as participants will have the right-of-way during this timed event. Meanwhile, the annual Motorcycle Ride for Dad to help raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer, will travel through Kelowna on Sunday as well. Riders will be leave Banners on McCurdy Road and head along Highway 97 to the downtown core before travelling over the bridge into West Kelowna. To maintain the procession, Ellis Street (from

Premier throws a curveball
P
remier Christy Clark caught everyone offguard with her decision to seek a seat in the legislature by running in a byelection for the Westside-Kelowna seat. Making that possible is the decision by current MLA Ben Stewart to step aside, after comfortably winning the riding in May’s provincial election by more than 6,000 votes. Media conjecture had Clark possibly eyeing up the seat won by new MLA Dan Ashton, who is currently serving as mayor of
Penticton. The theory was that Ashton would step aside and remain as mayor, clearing the path for Clark, who lost to the NDP’s David Eby in Vancouver-Point Grey. Sounded plausible on paper. Wednesday was the first day an MLA could step aside for Clark, as that was when the election results were made final. The need to find a safe constituency appears to have drawn her advisors to look at Kelowna. The Central Okanagan is no stranger to being represented by
premiers. W.A.C. Bennett and his son Bill made Kelowna a powerbase for their Social Credit political machines. But it does raise the question about what the premier will do for her constituents. Bill Bennett brought the Coquihalla Highway to fruition. How will Clark top that? Will a change to the $40-million reconfiguration of Highway 97 through Westbank get some provincial funding reconsideration? Or what about continued safety upgrades for West-
side Road, a two-time winner of B.C.’s worst road contest? Will Clark carry on the ‘three amigo’ approach with fellow MLAs Steve Thomson and Norm Letnick to look out for Central Okanagan interests and priorities? While Clark is saying all the right things now about her commitment to her riding, whether she will be spending time at local hockey rinks and running red lights beyond the next four years in Westside-Kelowna is probably unlikely.

Role of colleges key to reaching nation building objectives
T
his past weekend, I attended the Association of Community Colleges of Canada annual conference. It was held in Penticton, hosted by Okanagan College. There were people there from all over the world representing either their college or poly-technical institute. Some came from as far as Africa and Southeast Asia. It was a great event with speakers such as authors Wade Davis (an Explorer in Residence for National Geographic) and John Ralston Saul.
So at the end of the four-day conference many people asked me what were the highlights? In other words what did I take away Jane and what did I learn. One of the most Muskens interesting sessions I went to was on bullying. One of the presenters was Richard Fillion, director general from Dawson College. Most of you probably know of this college because of the shooting that took place on September 13, 2006 where one student died and many others were injured. Fillion told us about the heal-
SCHOOL’S IN
ing Dawson College went through to deal with the aftermath of the shooting which included an aggressive campaign to combat harassment and bullying on campus. They did two things. The first was a series of posters which talked about how they had to build a community of respect. The other initiative was to create a peace garden on campus. This project included staff, students and those from the surrounding community. The project gave a fragile community an opportunity to rebuild something beautiful to deal with tragedy. Another interesting thing I gleaned at the conference was how the term Sixties Scoop is applied to Canadian aboriginal people, many
about the same age as me. This term was coined by Patrick Johnston who wrote a report in 1983 which refers to a practice starting in the 1960s (ending in the late 1980s) where aboriginal children were removed from their families and placed in foster care—usually with a white family—they were “scooped.” Many of these children suffered physical and mental abuse coupled with the loss of culture and identity. Some of these adults are students in college today. Some are the children of these foster kids. This is why it is so important to respond to the needs of aboriginal students with appropriate support services. Other things that I learned:
• If you create a new program and you give it some convoluted name that nobody understands, this can stop students from enrolling. One college noticed this, changed the program name and—lo and behold—they finally had students apply. • There are a whole lot of people in Canada and in other countries who are really committed to seeing students succeed at college. If you look at all the good things these people are doing, you get a pretty good idea of how important colleges are to our communities and to the economy and the future of this nation. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College.

Long term plans–are you ‘delusional’? To the editor: Re: Layton Park’s letter: Turning South From Harvey Needs Fixing, May 30 Capital News. This poor man is delusional when he mentions long term planning in Kelowna. I have been here 30 some odd years and I have yet to see anyone in council with long term visions, for example: The bridge should
never have come into Kelowna in the first place, it should have bypassed the city the way major byways do. And the hospital,what a fiasco that is when we could have had an all new hospital built for the future. There was lots of land available before they started the patch jobs. The orchards on Springfield would have been a great choice, or even Benboulin or KLO.
The hospital could have been one for the future—50 to 100 years—instead they stand up and pat themselves on the back and don’t even realize that they made a mess. I could go on and on but what good would it do? Maggie Flood, Kelowna
So upset with politicians can’t vote any more To the editor: Your May 28 edition carried the Abbotsford News op-ed regarding the recent provincial election: Where Did All The Voters Go? Jorgen Hansen provided his thoughts in his letter: Senate An Example Of Mess We’re Leaving Kids.” And then to top it off, in his MP’s Report, Ron Cannan agrees the recent Senate issues are a debacle that our Prime Minister is “really” trying to sort out. I have pretty much voted in every election (with the exception of local elections), back in the U.K. and in Canada, since I was eligible to vote. I have always felt it was my duty to do so. Sadly, what I have seen in the last few years has so badly tainted my views of politicians
that I am one of the 50 per cent who did not vote in the recent provincial election. I am also considering not wasting my time in the next federal election. It seems to me that the party leaders are really the only ones we need to elect; we really don’t need to elect another 330 or so MPs or 80 odd MLAs. It makes no difference who is nominated in our ridings, they won’t stand up for us, their constituents. All they will do is go along with their leader. It would appear that they have no fortitude to question their party leader because doing so will just get them kicked out of the party and thus the potential of extra income via plum jobs on committees where their lead-
er appoints them for being good little boys and girls. Call me cynical, but our so-called political system seems to be an entire waste of time and money. From funding the defence costs of admittedly guilty political aides, setting up taxation systems (the HST) with no mandate to do so, to wasting tax payers money on junkets and pretend lakes, to unelected Senators taking advantage of “free” money, the list goes on and on, and yet have we ever heard from the people elected to represent us stepping up and condemning the people who are allowing this to happen with no repercussions? Prime Minister Harper was elected on the promise to “clean up” the Senate; all he’s done is put a
bunch of his lackeys in place, lackeys who are now proving to be either stupid or crooked, it really is hard to tell the difference. And let me state here it’s not just the provincial Liberals or the federal Conservatives—prior to these guys we had the Glen Clark NDP and the Chretien Liberals. Who can remember Jean Chretien saying he was going to abolish Free Trade with the U.S., he was going to cancel the GST, and then went on to expand Free Trade to include Mexico. He also increased the GST rate and he cancelled a helicopter contract costing the Canadian taxpayers hundreds of millions in contract fees. In any event, all of this has disenchanted me re-
gards politics and politicians. Politicians like to call their jobs “public service” and I’m sure they feel that being paid six figure salaries plus expenses is a service, but I believe we deserve more. So, until we start to see honesty and true accountability from these elected officials, until the Senate is either truly reformed, or even better abolished, then I for one will continue to withhold my vote. Yes, I still consider it my duty to vote but I also believe it is the duty of the people I vote for someone who witll truly represent me in Parliament and not just sit there giving unquestionable support to poor and bad politics.

Little dog goes missing in West Kelowna To the editor: I am writing to see if you can help us find a white male shitz tsu/terrier with food allergies. His name is Sam and he and his senior owner are visiting from Lillooet.
Sam went missing from on Friday, May 31 about 5 p.m. from 3955 Angus Dr. in Westbank. That is on Gellatly Bay. His owner is very upset as Sam is her companion.
We have put posters out all around the area and up in Westbank business areas. We have contacted the SPCA, the police, dog control and are working on the vets in the area.
Sam has never been on his own and is a very friendly dog. He has a red collar on with one black tag that says “Sam” and on the back is our Westbank phone 250-7682158.
He also has a 2013 Lillooet dog licence tag on. We would greatly appreciate any help we could get in finding him. Thank you so much. Marilyn Glick, West Kelowna
Kelowna water rate increases tip of the iceberg To the editor: I was informed by the Utilities Department of the City of Kelowna that the excessive rate increases of water was based upon the recommendation of the mayor and councillors. The process of formal-

of water, will eventually escalate the price of precious metals. The increases are as follows: Basic charge—increase 12.97 per cent Block 1 usage—increase 12.11 per cent Water Quality En-

NEWS ▼ WESTSIDE-KELOWNA
Premier chooses local riding to serve Riding from A1 “His will be big shoes to fill but I will do my best to fill them,” said Clark. And turning to Stewart, she added: “It would be an honour to have the chance to fill your shoes here in Westside-Kelowna.” Stewart, along with Thomson and Letnick, was elected to the B.C. Legislature for the first time in 2009. They dubbed themselves Team Okanagan because of their close working relationship. All three men said they had individually offered to give up their seats so Clark could run in their respective ridings. But Clark took Stewart’s offer. She said she chose Westside-Kelowna because it is “the cradle of free enterprise in Can-
ada” and had been part of the ridings of two former B.C. premiers, Social Credit leaders WAC Bennett and his son Bill Bennett. Bill Bennett, who lives in the Westside-Kelowna riding, was not at the news conference Wednesday but his son Brad was. Brad Bennett served as an advisor to Clark during the election campaign and rode the Liberal campaign bus with her every day during the 28-day campaign. Both Clark and Stewart said no inducement was offered, or made, to get Stewart to step aside. He said the offer came from him and was not requested. Clark said no date has been set for the byelection but she expects it will be called within a week, with Westside-Kelowna voters heading back to the polls
in mid-July. The premier, who lives in Vancouver but said she plans to establish a second residence in the riding, lost her seat in Vancouver-Point Grey to NDP challenger David Eby in the provincial election. She had beaten Eby in a by-election in that riding two years earlier after she was elected leader of the B.C. Liberal Party and became premier following Gordon Campbell’s resignation. Clark led the B.C. Liberals to a surprise victory in last month’s provincial election, entering the campaign 20 points behind the NDP in virtually every public opinion poll. But, in a stunning turnaround, when all the votes were counted, the Liberals won 49 of the 85 seats in the Legislature to form a majority government.
True PETriot Love Calling all
Clark said despite her role as premier, she plans to be in the riding a great deal both during the byelection campaign and, if elected, during the next four years. “I’m going to be up here as often as I can,” she said. “We’re certainly going to be having a lot of cabinet meetings and caucus meetings up in Kelowna I can predict now. I’ll certainly have a secondary residence here, so I’ll be up here quite a bit. The thing is, as premier you’re travelling a lot, but I’ll be here as much as I possibly can.” She added Stewart, co-owner of Quail’s Gate Winery, isn’t going anywhere. “Ben is going to be here, by my side, making sure that I’m able to pick up all the files he’s been working so hard on.”

Wednesday held at Quails’ Gate Winery, which is owned by the Stewart family. She said her choice of Westside-Kelowna also won the endorsement of her 11-year-old son. “I told him about this, this morning, and he’s thrilled. He said: “Wow Mom, that’s a really good choice.” As for being elected here, Clark said she plans to campaign the same way she did across the
province last month. “I am going to doorknock. I’m going to talk to as many people as I possibly can. I’m going to make sure that I really get a chance to listen to people, talk to them about the issues that are important to them, and make sure that I can reflect those local issues.” She said if elected

Elizabeth Fry society says Mission Greenway presents safety issues for vulnerable people By Wednesday morning, when police began releasing details of the assault, RCMP had already completed a secondary search for the suspect, to no avail. Cases like this incident are very uncommon. “In most sexual assault incidents, the perpetrator is known to the victim. This dynamic is often why very few victims report sexual assault,” said Aimee Thompson, agency coordinator for the Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society.
“This recent incident represents a terrifying scenario for women who use the Greenway and the people who care about them. This is not the first incident on the Greenway,” she added. “Clearly, the Greenway presents safety issues for vulnerable people.” A string of incidents in 2011 involving a man groping women on the Mission Park Greenway also involved an assailant who was unknown to his victims. The assailant used a bike to ride up to unsuspecting victims and
grab them in broad daylight—even with others nearby— and the incidents remain unsolved. The Elizabeth Fry society is urging local authorities to investigate safety measures that could be implemented on the Greenway so all residents, men or women, can enjoy the trails in safety. “We all need to take care of each other and watch out for one another,” Thompson said. There has been one other unknown assailant targeting random victims in Kelowna recently. The cross-dressing flash-

er frequents areas in Rutland and the downtown core, prompting police to alert the public to the danger and seek help in identifying him. This latest incident poses a much higher risk to the public, according to Const. Clark who noted RCMP have made no link between the flasher or the groper and this current case. In recent history only one case of this magnitude stands out in the Central Okanagan. A man dubbed the “Rutland rapist” by the media assaulted 10 women on 11 occasions in 2007, pulling some at random from the street. The assailant was eventually caught and identified as Okanagan Sun football player Tyler Stephens. In 2009, he was sentenced to five years, in addition to time served, with an additional 10 years of probation to follow.

CAMP DAY…Fire inspector Rick Euper

All money that was raised will go toward sending kids to camp who might not otherwise be able to afford it. Coffee drinkers across Canada, including here in the Central Okanagan, helped kids go to camp this summer as part of Tim Horton’s annual Camp Day, including the Powick Road Timmy’s location in Kelowna (above). Last year’s Camp Day raised a record $11 million across Canada, which helped to send more than 15,000 deserving kids from economically disadvantaged homes on a once-in a-lifetime camping adventure. All the proceeds from coffee sales on Camp Day go to the Tim Horton’s Children’s Foundation for the program.

Water restrictions for Falcon Ridge Users of the Regional District of the Central Okanagan’s Falcon Ridge water system are not allowed to use any water for outdoor irrigation. The Stage 4 water restriction was issued Tuesday and will affect approximately 55 properties in the Falcon Ridge subdivision off Highway 33. “We apologize for the added inconvenience this will cause; however, the Stage 4 water restriction is required in order to conserve water in the reservoir for the indoor use of customers of the system,” said RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith. “The well for the system will be shut down while crews inspect and clean screens and flush the well. This work is likely to increase turbidity in the well and it will need to settle before we anticipate being able to refill the reservoir and remove the outdoor water use restriction. “Staff will continue to monitor the level of turbidity and we will let customers know when they can resume watering outdoors.” It’s hoped that the inspection, cleaning and rehabilitation work will assist in improving water quantity and quality for the Falcon Ridge subdivision as well. The work on the well is being done as customers of the Falcon Ridge system remain on a boil water notice for all water intended for drinking, making beverages and ice, washing fruits and produce or brushing teeth. This notice was brought in on May 9 due to a poor turbidity rating in the water source because of the spring run-off in nearby Mission Creek. The regional district water systems service approximately 900 properties in the following areas: Falcon Ridge, Killiney Beach, Sunset Ranch, Star Place/ Trepanier, Westshore and Upper Fintry—Shalal Road—Valley of the Sun.

“With summer around the corner, we urge parents to understand the risks to children when they are in the water, and also when they are on or near it.” Water Safety Week is June 1 to 8 and the Red Cross is calling on all parents and adults to effectively supervise children by maintaining them within reach and within sight at all times.

Soil Moisture Sensors…..
Now that we have dealt with the rain fall issue, the next sensor to consider is a Soil Moisture Sensor. When irrigation occurs, either from mother nature or your automatic system, your soil is only able to store a certain amount of water depending on the soil type. An effective way to determine when your soil capacity has been reached is with the use of a Soil Moisture Sensor. There are several moisture sensors available on the market. Like a rain sensor, the moisture sensor is connected directly to the irrigation controller. It will automatically turn off your irrigation system when rainfall or automatic irrigation has saturated the soil to a predetermined amount of moisture. Soil Moisture Sensors are adjustable and can be installed in a matter of minutes. Also like the rain sensors, moisture sensors are available in a wired or wireless version. The wireless is the easier of the two to set up and install. A receiver unit is wired to the irrigation controller and collects the information from the moisture sensor in the yard. The moisture sensor is installed out in the yard where it will read moisture from rainfall and/ or irrigation. The sensor will continuously measure soil moisture levels and determine when to allow your irrigation controller to water. This ensures only the right amount of water is applied saving water costs and wear and tear on your irrigation system. For more information on rain sensors and other options for your automatic irrigation system, please drop by our store. If you have any questions or would prefer the name of a contractor to assist you with a problem, call us or come in to see us, we are located by Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Original Joe’s Restaurant and Bar has selected Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Okanagan as the summer beneficiary of its community pint program for the three restaurant locations in Vernon, Kelowna and West Kelowna. The popular community pint program is part of OJ’s overall community giving program, called the Community Care Fund. Every four months, a beneficiary is selected regionally by OJ’s locations, and 50 cents from a featured pint is donated to the cause. Between June 3 and Oct. 1, 50 cents from every Granville Island Brewing pint sold at the three local OJ’s locations in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Vernon will go to the efforts of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Okanagan. “The community pint program is an important component of the Original Joe’s Community Care Fund,” explained Aaron Appleyard, Original Joe’s manager. “We believe in giving back to the community in a variety of ways, and our pint program is one way our customers can help to give back.” A charitable organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Okanagan develops and facilitates life-changing mentoring programs that inspire and empower children and youth to reach their potential, both as individuals and citizens.

A Kelowna city councillor says the federal govsernment’s promise of $53 dbillion over 10 years for lmunicipal infrastructure -across the country is a -good start but it falls well short of the $200 billion nthat’s needed. Coun. Colin Basran, -who represented Kelowna at the recent Federation of ,Canadian Municipalities convention in Vancouver, along with Coun. Maxine DeHart and Coun. Robert Hobson, who was doing double duty as he is also the chairman of the Central Okanagan Regional District, said while the
federal offer is clearly not enough, he hopes some of the promised money finds its way here as the city has several big ticket infrastructure projects coming up. Basran said with projects like a new Lakeshore Bridge, rebuilding the Parkinson Recreation Centre, an extension of Highway 33, Hall Road sewers and a new RCMP detachment building all on the city’s planning horizon, federal funds will help. But with municipalities being responsible for 60 per cent of the country’s infrastructure and only getting eight cents of every tax dollar back from Ottawa, the federal gov-

in the one-third fees you are going to pay your lawyer, you in fact end up significantly “in the red.” Your best hope is to recover compensation for two-thirds of your losses. The bigger your losses, the further you end up in the red, because more and more is taken by your lawyer in fees. For a very small claim, with losses of only $9,000, you end up “in the red” about $3,000 ($9,000 minus lawyer fees). For a larger claim, with losses of $90,000, you end up “in the red” about $30,000. Who benefits from maximizing your losses? Your lawyer. Who loses? You. That’s the dollars and cents argument for keeping your losses as small as possible. It just so happens that there is also a legal duty to do so. It’s called a “duty to mitigate” A very recent decision of the Supreme Court of British Columbia quotes the following authoritative statement of the law: “Mitigation goes to limit recovery based on an unreasonable failure of the injured party to take reasonable steps to limit his or her loss. A plaintiff
in a personal injury action has a positive duty to mitigate but if a defendant’s position is that a plaintiff could reasonably have avoided some part of the loss, the defendant bears the onus of proof on that issue…” Turning that into English, you have an actual legal obligation to take reasonable steps to end up as little “in the red” as possible. If you fail to do so, ICBC won’t have to reimburse you for the losses that you could have made smaller had you acted reasonably. For example, if your injury disables you from returning to your very heavy work as a drywall installer, but you would be able to handle less physically heavy work such as working at a desk or working as a salesperson, you have a legal duty to try to get those other jobs. If you sit back and do nothing, and ICBC is able to prove that you would have been successful finding alternate work and earning at least a portion of the income you would have earned as a drywaller, the court will not reimburse you for that portion. You will end up with zero compensation for
that portion of your losses. People who are laid off and qualify for Employment Insurance are required to look for work. The same thing goes for people claiming compensation for injury losses. The difference is that the Employment Insurance system is not going to hire a lawyer to cross-examine you on how hard you tried to find another job. This “duty to mitigate” is nothing to worry about. It’s not some “dark magic” that ICBC will be able to use to kill your claim. It’s all about acting reasonably. If you are the least bit unsure, get advice early on about what steps you could be taking to mitigate your losses and eliminate the possibility that ICBC can successfully “blame the victim” on this point. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

Plumbing code update
The City of Kelowna has partnered with Okanagan College to offer affordable training for new requirements in the B.C. Plumbing Code. The City will host two one-day workshops, June 13 and 14, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, at 1002350 Acland Rd. The cost is $125 per person per day. Payment must be submitted at the building department on the second floor of City Hall by June 10. The workshops are specifically developed to provide cost-effective training for new water pipe sizing requirements brought into effect with the new B.C. Plumbing Code. “We saw that no one is offering education on the new requirements and we wanted to provide some leadership and ensure our local builders, plumbers and plumbing officials in the Valley have an opportunity to learn about the new water pipe size calculations and other applicable rules,” said city development services director Mo Bayat. The workshop includes coffee and lunch for participants.

NEWS ▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE
Listening to advice lands grad a new job Okanagan College will be recognizing the achievements of more than 1,450 students who will be earning credentials from a variety of academic, vocational and trades programs throughout the course of three Convocation ceremonies in Kelowna this weekend. Among them will be Reid Schretlen, a graduate of the Bachelor of Business Administration’s honours program. Schretlen, like many of his classmates, struggled to make a decision about where his future would lead him after college. Presented with the opportunity to bend the ear of one of the region’s best-known entrepreneurs, Schretlen didn’t hesitate and ended up receiving the advice that would land him his ideal job. “I had a chance to speak with Club Penguin co-founder Lance Priebe and he said the job search is more about finding people you think would be awesome to work with, so that’s what I decided to do,” said Schretlen. The technique clearly worked. “I met one of the coolest bosses in Kelowna and that’s exactly how it all fell into place,” he said. “I told the owner I want to work with a team of incredible people, and now here I am.” Schretlen is a few weeks into his new position as manager of client services for HuStream, a video strategy company based in Kelowna. He said when he talks with fellow students many say they have no idea what they’re going to do next. “What I did was look more for the kind of people that I would want to work with. Look for the team, rather than the job,” he said. “I already knew I wanted to work in a startup environment so this is perfect.” Schretlen is just one of hundreds of Okanagan College students from the graduating class of 2013 who have secured work prior to receiving their diplomas.

Paul Latimer preventing postpartum psychosis or mania, treatment with lithium is known to be effective. However, in light of the need to balance risks with benefits, researchers compared the effectiveness of continuing lithium treatment throughout pregnancy with starting it immediately postpartum. For this study, 70 women known to be high risk for postpartum psychosis took part. Those who were not already taking lithium were advised to begin lithium immediately postpartum, while those who were already being treated continued their lithium throughout the pregnancy. All women with a history of postpartum psychosis (who did not experience psychotic symptoms at other times in their lives) remained stable throughout their pregnancy regardless of whether they were taking lithium.
Nearly half (44 per cent) of women who declined to take lithium postpartum experienced a psychosis relapse. Of the women with bipolar disorder, almost a quarter relapsed during pregnancy in spite of lithium treatment during pregnancy. In light of these results, study authors recommend simply starting treatment postpartum for women with a history of psychosis that is limited to the postpartum period. This will reduce unnecessary fetal exposure to medication. Women with bipolar disorder should likely continue their treatment throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period to avoid relapse. As always, if you are pregnant or considering having a child, it is best to discuss your medical and psychiatric history with your doctor as early as possible to come up with a plan that will be best suited to your individual situation. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials.

ways to measure the potential benefits of a treatment against its inherent risks. When it comes to medical treatment during pregnancy, we are always very cautious because of the vulnerability of the unborn baby. Very often, treatments are delayed or stopped during pregnancy to avoid exposing the fetus to unnecessary risks. When it comes to psychiatric treatment, things can be complicated. There are some medications we know to be harmful to a developing fetus, yet many psychiatric medications are considered safe to take while pregnant. Women generally consider whether a relapse of their psychiatric condition is likely to put the baby at risk. If stopping medication could trigger psychotic symptoms, a deep depression or manic episode, it may be safer for mother and child if treatment is continued. A relatively recent study of women at risk for relapse in bipolar disorder or postpartum psychosis came to some interesting conclusions. When it comes to

Help is on the way for Kelowna families living with the impact of a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. And it couldn’t come at a better time, as the number of people coping with the brain disorders is growing. Already one in 11 Canadians over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, and that total could grow by as much as 50 per cent over the next five years. “Dementia often brings about changes in behaviour and communication, which can dramatically affect family caregivers,” said Lila Sofonoff, the area’s First Link coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. She sees first-hand the impact Alzheimer’s and other dementias have on Kelowna residents. It’s no wonder, she
says, that Alzheimer’s disease is the second-most feared disease for British Columbians as they age. To help local families, the society will offer a free comprehensive workshop that provides practical coping strategies for family members who are caring for a person with dementia. Understanding Dementia, Communication and Behaviour takes place on Friday, June 21, in West Kelowna, 1 to 4 p.m. “It helps families build the knowledge, skills and confidence to live well with dementia,” Sofonoff says.

Shelter Bay opens new gas bar dock Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
What at the time seemed to be a large inconvenience has resulted in an improved gas dock for Shelter Bay Marina. The marina’s former gas bar was damaged, along with two boats, in a fire last August. Over the May long weekend, Shelter Bay unveiled its new gas dock, which includes four pumps and a diesel fuelling option. “It’s the first time diesel has ever been offered on Okanagan Lake,” said Kathryn Albright, a supervisor who has worked at Shelter Bay’s gas dock for six years. Albright explained owners of diesel-powered vessels previously had to pay for the delivery of diesel.

“We’ve only had a efew diesel customers so far, but the season usually starts off slow. We’ll lbe busy in another two pweeks, when the kids get sout of school and everyabody has more time.” The timing of last Au-gust’s fire was unfortunate as Shelter Bay fuel sales 4were at an all-time high. “Our shack burned -down during the busiest time of the season—it was right after August long weekend when we had a record-breaking long weekend with fuel sales. s “After that, (Hotel) El.dorado was the only place in the Kelowna area for people to go.” Albright added Shelter Bay managed to get a temporary dock opened three weeks later to help satisfy the demand. “People missed it. They wanted us back up and running as quick as possible.” Shelter Bay has installed additional security cameras for gas dock surveillance, as well as more fire extinguishers and “no smoking” signs. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Interest high in Bowey at NHL Combine ‘‘
Warren Henderson
STAFF REPORTER
For the most part, the questions asked of Madison Bowey during the interview process at last week’s NHL Combine in Toronto were relatively straightforward. There was, however, a query from the Boston Bruins that forced the Kelowna Rockets defenceman to think just a little outside the box. “The Bruins asked me what my favourite animal was, so that was a little different than the others,” Bowey said with a laugh. “But right away, I said ‘a bear.’ I was all over that one, so I think that (interview) went pretty well.” One of three Rockets players invited to the combine, Bowey garnered his share of attention in Toronto, as 25 of the 30 NHL teams quizzed the 18-year-old Winnipeg native on a range of subjects, including the parts of his game he most needs to work on, and what he will bring to each team. For the majority of the interviews, Bowey felt he kept his nerves in check. “I talked to (Colton)

Sissons and my agent about (the interviews), so I kind of knew what to expect,” Bowey said. “I’m an easygoing and energetic person, so I think that made (the process) a little easier. It was a great experience.” Based on the overall response in Toronto, his agent, Craig Oster, expects Bowey to be selected anywhere between 10th and 35th overall at the NHL entry draft later this month in New Jersey. Oster also told Bowey that about five or six teams stand out above the rest as far as serious contenders who might choose the skilled 6-foot-1,

Madison Bowey 200-pound defenceman. “I had a similar number of interviews as a lot of the top-rated guys, so I’d say that’s a good sign,” said Bowey, who had 12 goals and 30 points in 69 games with the Rockets last season. “I felt like the interest was pretty high. We’ll know more when we get to the draft and we’ll probably talk to some teams again there.” Bowey isn’t hiding the fact that being chosen 13th overall— by his hometown Winnipeg Jets—would be a most welcome scenario. Still, he added, simply being drafted by any one of 30 NHL teams will be the highlight of his career to date. In addition to the interview process, the second

Hoyer returns as Rockets’ athletic therapist Scott Hoyer’s career as an athletic therapist has come full circle. Seven years after leaving the Kelowna Rockets to pursue other opportunities, Hoyer is back to take on the job as the WHL club’s athletic therapist, and speed, strength, conditioning coach. The 47-year-old Regina native returns to the post recently vacated by Jeff Thorburn, who has
taken on employment with UBC Okanagan’s athletic department. “We wanted to get the best person available and we had a lot of great applicants,” said Rockets president and GM, Bruce Hamilton. “To have a person of Scott’s calibre come back to our organization is huge for our players and for the relationship we have with our doctors.”
Hoyer was the Rockets’s athletic therapist for six seasons from 2000 to 2006, during which time he was key part of three consecutive Memorial Cups appearances from 2003 to 2005. Since resigning from the Rockets in 2006, Hoyer has worked with the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers, at the Pursuit of Excellence hockey academy based in Winfield, and

Rockets head coach Ryan Huska, an assistant coach with the Rockets during Hoyer’s first tenure with the Rockets, is thrilled to have Hoyer back with the club. “We are really excited to have Scott rejoin our organization,” said Huska. “His experiences, both as an athletic therapist and a strength and conditioning coach will be an asset to our staff and to our players.” Hoyer begins his new position immediately.

A 0-0 deadlock was broken in the 21st minute when TSS got on the score board after some slick passing through the centre of the pitch. Okanagan pushed back in the second half, as Jess Briker had one of the best chances in the match when she exploded unmarked into the 18-yard box. But a recovering TSS defender stuck in a tackle from behind knocking the
danger clear and preserving the lead and win for TSS. “It was a good game both teams worked very hard throughout the match and we had some tired legs by the end,” Paterson said. “TSS knocked the ball around well and we ended up doing a lot of chasing. We were not without our chances but unfortunately we didn’t get the bounces.”

The Kelowna-based women’s team, now 3-12, is coming off a split at home last weekend. On Saturday at UBCO’s Nonis Field, Okanagan FC defeated Coquitlam Metro Ford 3-1. Michelle Smith tallied twice for the home side in the first half, with Melanie Shannon slotting the other goal to put Okanagan up 3-0 by the 55-minute mark. Coquitlam spoiled the shutout with seven minutes left to play. “It is always nice to get the result, three really good goals but I feel that it wasn’t our best performance,” said FC head coach Claire Paterson. “After scoring early we took a bit of a break on the field which is something that we addressed.” On Sunday, Okanagan suffered its first loss of the campaign, 1-0 to TSS Academy.

▼ MISSION PARK FLOWERS BY DESIGN
Mission floral shop is given a design makeover STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
Maxine DeHart This week’s column is dedicated to two longtime friends and Kelowna residents. Former MLA Larry Chalmers passed away suddenly. I recently visited with Larry at Mickie’s Pub with all his “riding buddies.” We always shared a laugh or two. A Celebration of Life for Larry will be held Saturday, June 8, 2 p.m., at the Laurel Packinghouse. And Wally Giebelhaus was well known, even in his 80s, for his waterskiing abilities. His wife, Doreen and I have been friends forever. A celebration of Life will be held for Wally on Monday, June 10, 1 p.m., at Springfield Funeral Home. Personal condolences to both families and their many friends.

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS
Embracing the perils of chasing your business dream O ut of the workforce for awhile or tired of your current job, then you may already be seriously considering delving into the world of entrepreneurship, with its perceived joy and perils. If so, then get ready to embark on an exciting, rarely dull, often nerve-wracking journey. To call entrepreneurship “perilous” may be a bit of a stretch, since perilous could be defined as dangerous. However, peril means exposure to risk or harm, and launching your first entrepreneurial venture can be both risky and challenging. Since often writing down challenges often seems to decrease the climb, let’s look at obstacles you’re about to face and address the stages of an entrepreneurial venture you will encounter in following your dream path.
TIME MISMANAGEMENT
This is one of those issues that create problems for many of us, myself included, who start new business ventures. Either we spend all our time working, or we can’t quite keep ourselves on a given schedule.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
tractions to do. Lunch hours may turn into non-productive venues for a day.
FEAR OF FAILURE
Failure and entrepre-
Joel neurship go hand in hand. If you’re not fully Young Many new ventures seem to fail in the first year because the owner couldn’t get and keep a handle on worktime vs rest-of-life time. Rule Number One— truly you can’t spend every waking minute on your venture. You can and do have a life.
aware that your venture could fail or terrified of failure, then go work for someone else. You need to recognize that risks sometimes may be required. Risk means stretching, taking chances, trying new tactics, making mistakes, and then learning how to work through them.
ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS
LACK OF MARKETING
If you’ve got these skills, then you’ve passed a major hurdle. Being disorganized not only means wasting time as you dig around trying to find something, but also makes your focus difficult.
FOCUS (OR LACK OF )
Most of the time, if we take ourselves out of a familiar environment, we stumble without the structure to rely on. For example, working at home may seem like a part-time job. Instead of being at your desk every morning, one might find other dis-
Most new entrepreneurial ventures, particularly small ones, simply don’t have large adequate marketing budgets. No excuse for marketing, I would add, because if you’re not getting your name and purpose out there to the world, someone else will. There are a host of inexpensive marketing tools in our world. One of my favourites is email marketing. Check it out and Google it big time. Worth your time.
STAY CURRENT
Technology has radically changed the way
we do business the past several years. Information is shared immediately via the Internet. You need to be able to make decisions quickly. The same technology that makes our lives easier also requires us to work harder. So, please stay current on what’s going on in your industry, find industry leaders and study their newsletters and books.
DON’T FORGET TO HAVE FUN
Not fooling here, folks. As an entrepreneur, you do control your destiny. You’re not at the mercy of a company downsizing and eliminating positions. And should you lose account here and there, you can go out and replace that loss. You can truly be as busy as you choose to be.. So, please enjoy what you are doing, get up in the morning in this beautiful Okanagan world we live in, knowing that you’re doing what makes you happy—and have fun doing it. Now let’s attack the perils of entrepreneurial bliss looking at the six stages of its introduction into our personal lives. The first stage, we
are told, is conviction— no matter the stage of the new entrepreneurial venture when an individual begins their venture journey, every entrepreneur must address their conviction to become an entrepreneur. This may sound seemingly trivial to you now, but I believe it’s the most important step in this entrepreneurial process. Many entrepreneurs, unfortunately wait to the venture stage, which may lead to grave problems. The second stage is the idea stage, some calling it the easiest. Everyone has an idea for a venture when they put their mind to it, looking at the world and seeing solutions instead of problems. This is also the fun stage because the cost is zero and the excitement level high. The idea stage, how-
ever, is the core basis for every other stage of the venture process . The idea is more than the concept since the latter has more structure and warrants different concerns and decisions. The third stage is the concept and is characterized by structure. At this point, you will take your idea and employ intellectual rigour including extensive market research, development of the business model, concept of the required team to execute the core venture idea and engagement of formal and informal advisors Next up is stage four, the Venture itself. This stage is usually characterized by significant investment typically in two forms—money and time. The venture’s launch comes up at stage five, the business stage is where all

entrepreneurs strive to be. This is the stage where you might have revenues that are commensurate with you expenses. Yes, there will be unprofitable months or years ahead, but in general, your venture may support itself with little external capital. This, of course, is the stage where you are most likely to find investors who will be able to see your efforts. And finally comes stage six, arrival at a sustainable venture point. Yes, there are unique challenges to creating a sustaining venture, one of the most significant being to outlast the involvement of its founders.

Christina Maria launches persona–Rykka Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The very cool thing about being a dedicated artist is that the bottom line—the branding, packaging, consistency and so on—means nothing when compared to vision. Folk singer Christina Maria is a great example. While her original brand, Christina Maria, was working well, earning her top seeding in the 2010 Peak Performance Project alongside solid West Coast indie acts like 2011 Juno-winner Greg Sczebel, Aidan Knight and Adaline, she wasn’t afraid to throw caution to the wind and chase a new dream. “I think I was falling into a lot of habits with acoustic guitar. I just found, for me, it was getting a little bit stale,” she said. As a more traditional singer/songwriter, she crooned about loves lost and found, but when she started melding different sounds on a synthesizer, throwing in jagged, rock-style electric guitar riffs, and adding the kind of catchy pop melodies used to chart a single, it was evident change was in the wind. Like a good Madonna, Christina Maria soon birthed Rykka, a fresh musical persona to work under. The moniker doesn’t mean much. It’s Northern European and she is Swiss-Canadian. Currently dividing her time between her ancestral homeland and North America, the connection to her roots is likely appealing, but ultimately the choice is the product of a random Internet search of baby names. ‘Rykka’ is nonetheless a very apropos label to begin life with her new baby, an album that took a

One part Arts & Crafts-style coquettish pop, one part thunderous drums, this record boasts an endless stream of creativity in 12 songs, each apparently written from the animals’ point of view. The work is intended to speak to the damage
human beings are doing to the Earth and act as a bridge for people to understand how our collective behaviour affects the natural environment. This animal perspective was always in the plan, but refining which sounds to use in the effort was apparently more of a challenge. “I’ve been changing a lot because I travel so much and really just try to let things influence me,” said Rykka.

Moving as often as every two months, she would like to be known as a nomad and finds it endlessly frustrating that the world can’t accept her global perspective and lifestyle, constantly trying to pin her as hailing from one area or another. She’s found an artists’ collective, a farmhouse
in Switzerland where she can freely go to write in a natural environment that splendidly sets the stage for her work. It’s also a place to get to know the extended family her father’s father left behind to immigrate. And yet, as a Vancouverite, she’s also very fond of the West Coast, hopping around Western Canada at will, picking up work along the way. “I’ve been full-time doing music for 11 years and it’s been awesome,” she said, just before launching into a stream of places she would like to tour, including France and the United States. Unfortunately, touring takes an immense amount of planning and means pre-booking months, even years in advance. She’s currently setting dates for a German tour a year from now with hopes a tour south of the border will be in the cards before its time to write another album. This album, titled Kodiac, is already receiving praise from critics, though it has yet to be released. “Every single song on this album has a memorable chorus,” Canadian music blogger Michael Thomas of GrayowlPoint.com writes. “If you’re interested in finding a female vocalist that is commercial and yet manages to not sound at all like any of her Top 40 female contemporaries, then you’ll like Rykka,” says Kat Hariton in her review for Lithium Magazine. Kelowna falls exactly halfway through her upcoming tour dates to celebrate the album release. To decide how you like Rykka for yourself, head to the Streaming Café June 15.

Young Smith takes his father’s tutelage well AFTER EARTH
1000 years after Earth’s destruction and the inhabitants who survived were evacuated to Nova Prime, Colonel Cypher Raige (Will Smith) and his team, including son Kitai (Jaden Smith), crash land on Earth’s toxic surface. Cypher is badly injured in the crash and Kitai must travel a long distance in dangerous ter-
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen ritory to reach and engage a distress beacon. Say what you will about the spoiled, rich kids of Hollywood
stars—this one can act. In fact, it was really a two-person show, and the second time this father and son have played father and son. The first being the very successful The Pursuit of Happyness, when Jaden was eight years old. He’s now 15 and a seasoned actor. Dad, Will Smith coached him personally for this performance. Will Smith also per-
sonally hired M. Night Shyamalan to direct the film, making it the first time in 20 years that Shyamalan has accepted a project based on someone else’s screenplay. This is also the first feature film to use the Sony F65 digital camera and it’s better than most 3D showings in its clarity and scope. Best quote (and maybe one to live by):
“Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Now, don’t misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice” I love that! I also love futuristic sci-fi, so this one was right up my alley, and very well done. So it surprised me that After Earth narrowly missed being this weekend’s “top banana” at the box office,
which saw Now You See Me take in the most revenue, beating After Earth by $200,000 (not much by movie standards, but enough to place it first). Both are really good films, with Now You See Me, getting more publicity and more star cast members, so you have a choice of a couple of good, entertaining shows to which you can take the whole family
I give four reels for After Earth. Now we can wait with baited breath for Brad Pitt’s World War Z—when zombies take over. (Haven’t Brad and Angie already taken over? Oh, sorry that was just mean!) Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and a movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

hile Fast & Furious 6 held on to the number one spot at the box office last weekend, the big surprise was Now You See Me, which had a slight edge over Will Smith’s After Earth. It also had a Cinemascore of “A-” which means Now You See Me will have strong word-of-mouth and hopefully a long life in theatres during the busy summer season. You can call them the Google crashers as the biggest movie this weekend will be The Internship, which reunites Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in their first movie since their winning combination in The Wedding Crashers. Canadian Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, Real Steel) directs the pair as out of work salesmen who have to compete as interns at Google in order to score a job. While it is not predicted to surpass the success of The Wedding Crashers, it is said to be an entertaining comedy. While not getting the usual publicity of
VINCE VAUGHN (left) and Owen Wilson star in The Internship. the summer blockbusters, The Purge looks to be an original and entertaining thriller which asks the following question: What would you do if for one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences? Ethan Hawke stars in this speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, who will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home. In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity—including murder—becomes legal. The police can’t be called. Hospitals suspend help. It’s one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. When an intruder breaks into James Sandin’s (Hawke) gated community dur-
ing the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide. Hoping to get a headstart on the Man of Steel next weekend, This is the End opens next Tuesday. Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson play fictional versions of themselves as a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles and push the limits

were fed up with having to constantly clean up after inconsiderate dog owners and turned to PooPrints, the forensic firm that can match offending feces to its rightful depositor. Currently, frustrated owners have not had much help to deal with the problem. While many dog owners are responsible and pick up their canine’s kaka, it doesn’t take many dogs to make a big mess for others to deal with. Although bylaws can be used to deal with the offenders, it takes hard evidence such as an eye witness to actually catch the culprits. And even then fining them could be as messy as the problem itself. PooPrints aims to solve this problem by providing indisputable DNA evidence to get a conviction. Although it doesn’t elaborate, the company has a system by which DNA samples can be collected and stored in a data bank. One strata reports that within six weeks of notifying owners that PooPrints was being employed, the problem with doggy waste had almost disappeared. Anytime an owner spotted a pile they took a sample and sent it to the lab. “We can perform an exact DNA match up with the pets in our database,” company spokesman Eric Mayer told USA Today. “The results won’t come back as showing a beagle left the pile of waste. It will be the beagle in Apartment 3A left the waste.” Getting the DNA sample is $29.95 per dog, and each sample test is $49.95, Mayer said, and each client has their own policy governing how the costs are absorbed or passed along to residents. While it isn’t clear yet if this will catch on in Canada, frustrated owners shouldn’t just fume. Many stratas are now wired with multiple security cameras. With little difficulty they can be aimed at high offending areas to catch the canines in the midst of their crime. With video evidence in hand, stratas can send violation letters to owners and begin the process of bylaw enforcement and levying of fines. If you are a self-managed strata, feel free to contact me to discuss this or any other column. 250-860-1411 gforsstrom@coldwellbanker.ca

Conway was among six credit union CEOs who traveled to Cambodia to look at creating savings and credit co-operatives in the area, and to share their experience with Cambodian partners.CDF raises funds for international development programs, based on co-operative values that are administered by the Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA). The mission enables Canadian credit union leaders to learn how building a co-operative is a big step towards alleviating poverty in developing countries. “At Interior Savings we are committed to the communities we serve, but our co-operative values stretch beyond those borders. Locally owned co-operatives and credit unions provide a solid foundation for reducing poverty and building stronger communities. The mission opened my eyes to a uniquely different way of life; it reinforced our commitment to helping individuals close to home and across the globe build a better life for their families and their communities,” said Conway of her trip to Southeast Asia.

UBCO post-doctoral fellow given Alzheimer’s research grant The $80,000 study grant can hopefully lead to finding a cure for a disease which affects 200,000 B.C. residents. disease. It is characterized by excessive degeneration of neurons in the brain that lead to memory loss, cognitive impairment, and eventually loss of independence. This places an enormous burden on their families and caregivers. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, so Wan stresses there is a definite need for preventative strategies and risk reduction. “It is important to understand the links between obesity and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease,” she says. “And it is only by understanding these links that we can identify and test therapeutic strategies designed to reduce the risk of this devastating illness.” Wan’s research specifically looks at adiponectin, a naturally-occurring hormone. Historically, adiponectin has been shown to have many health benefits, but decreased levels of the hormone have been
First UBCO interdisciplinary performance class to graduate
Sometimes small and nimble trumps the notion that bigger is better. Just ask this budding group of students taking to the world’s stage. UBC Okanagan will see the first-ever graduating class from its Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Interdisciplinary Performance program at Thursday’s Convo-cation ceremonies. The group of five graduates pioneered the study of interdisciplinary performance in the Okanagan. Kevin Jesuino says the last thing he wanted was “a cookie-cutter” education. The attraction for him in coming to UBCO from his hometown Edmonton is that the interdisciplinary performance program is unique, with students helping shape the program and its teaching, in collaboration with professors. “I knew the new interdisciplinary performance program would allow me to get a wide range of personalized training,” says Jesuino, who has been in Portugal on an internship with a dance and theatre festival. “And entering in 2010 would allow me to be part of the first graduating class in 2013. It was the perfect program for me.” The Interdisciplinary Performance Program (INTP) offers students an unmatched combination of courses in performance creation, visual arts and creative writing. Neil Cadger, department head of creative studies, says the objective is to train students in a variety of skills across the conventional boundaries of art disci-
plines. “This all started as an idea,” Cadger says. “We wanted to expose our students to every single aspect of live performance.” As part of their training, students study movement and voice, improvisation, mask performance, ensemble work, solo and collaborative performance creation. They are also required to study within the BFA visual arts studio program, taking classes in sculpture and installation art, digital media arts, and drawing and painting. In creative writing, students study poetry, playwriting, short story composition, screenwriting, and other genres including interdisciplinary collaborative art forms. Graduate Scott Mendonca, who departed the Okanagan in May for auditions in Europe, picked the program because he knew it would provide the well-rounded education he was looking for. “I like that it is different and ground-breaking and is the only program like it in Canada,” says Mendonca. Cadger began the performance program at UBCO in 2005, and introduced the enhanced INTP program in 2010. “We teach our students that the visual arts are as important as creative writing and that creative writing is as important as performance,” Cadger says. “Students go through the program and graduate with the knowledge to run a small theatre company—and that includes marketing, managing the bills, hiring artists and creating the performance event. These students get it all.”
Wan, who has an undergraduate degree in public health and a master’s degree in nutrition and food hygiene from Peking University, China, has been studying at UBCO since January. Her doctoral studies were completed at the University of Alberta, where she focused on adipose tissue biology in the context of obesity and exercise. Her post-doctoral fellowship at UBCO will allow her to further study in these areas while she works towards her ultimate goal of finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. “My career goals are to discover novel lifestyle strategies that will improve the lives of people living with the illness,” Wan says. “And eventually I hope to uncover aspects of Alzheimer’s pathology that could be used to help find a cure.”

Is there a link between obesity and Alzheimer’s disease? Caroline Zhongxiao Wan, a post-doctoral fellow in the UBC Okanagan campus Faculty of Health and Social Development thinks so. And she’s one step closer to finding an answer. Wan has received a Biomedical Post-doctoral Award from the Alzheimer Society Research Program. The fellowship comes with more than $82,000 in funding that will help continue her research to find the determining factor of Alzheimer’s. “Obese people have about 60 per cent greater chance than non-obese people of developing Alzheimer’s disease,” Wan says. “This is becoming an increasingly important risk factor because the levels of obesity in B.C. and Canada continue to rise.” Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of aging-related dementia in B.C., where more than 200,000 people have the
linked to the development of Type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. Wan thinks there are more risks related to reduced adiponectin levels—specifically, reduced brain-cell function. Part of her research will investigate whether adiponectin can protect brain cells from neuro-degeneration. “We hope this research will increase our understanding of how obesity increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and we may identify adiponectin as a novel therapeutic target for preventing Alzheimer’s in the growing number of Canadians who are overweight or obese,” she says. Wan’s faculty supervisor, Jonathan Little, associate professor in UBC’s School of Health and Exercise Sciences, is thrilled with her fellowship. “We are extremely excited that Caroline has won this highly competitive award,” Little says. “She is an extremely bright and hard-working scientist, and her presence enhances the training environment for the graduate and undergraduate students in my lab and across the school.”

STROLLING through his family vineyard Wednesday with Premier Christy Clark, Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart later fought off tears as he announced his decision to step aside to let her to run for the riding in a byelection. to fill them,” said Clark. And turning to Stewart, she added: “It would be an honour to have the chance to fill your shoes here in Westside-Kelowna.” Stewart, along with Thomson and Letnick, was elected to the B.C. Legislature for the first time in 2009. They dubbed themselves Team Okanagan because of their close working relationship. All three men said they had individually offered to give up their seats so Clark could run in their respective ridings. But Clark took Stewart’s offer. She said she chose Westside-Kelowna because it is “the cradle of free enterprise in Canada” and had been part of the ridings of two former B.C. premiers, Social Credit leaders WAC Bennett and his son Bill Bennett. Bill Bennett, who lives in the Westside-Kelowna riding, was not at the news conference Wednesday but his son Brad was. Brad Bennett served as an advisor to Clark during the election campaign and rode
the Liberal campaign bus with her every day during the 28-day campaign. Both Clark and Stewart said no inducement was offered, or made, to get Stewart to step aside. He said the offer came from him and was not requested. Clark said no date has been set for the byelection but she expects it will be called within a week, with Westside-Kelowna voters heading back to the polls in mid-July. The premier, who lives in Vancouver but said she plans to establish a second residence in the riding, lost her seat in Vancouver-Point Grey to NDP challenger David Eby in the provincial election. She had beaten Eby in a byelection in that riding two years earlier after she was elected leader of the B.C. Liberal Party and became premier following Gordon Campbell’s resignation. Clark led the B.C. Liberals to a surprise victory in last month’s provincial election, entering the campaign 20 points behind the
NDP in virtually every public opinion poll. But, in a stunning turnaround, when all the votes were counted, the Liberals won 49 of the 85 seats in the Legislature to form a majority government. Clark said despite her role as premier, she plans to be in the riding a great deal both during the byelection campaign and, if elected, during the next four years. “I’m going to be up here as often as I can,” she said. “We’re certainly going to be having a lot of cabinet meetings and caucus meetings up in Kelowna I can predict now. I’ll certainly have a secondary residence here, so I’ll be up here quite a bit. The thing is, as premier you’re travelling a lot, but I’ll be here as much as I possibly can.” She added Stewart, coowner of Quail’s Gate Winery, isn’t going anywhere. “Ben is going to be here, by my side, making sure that I’m able to pick up all the files he’s been working so hard on.” She said her choice of

Westside-Kelowna also won the endorsement of her 11-year-old son. “I told him about this, this morning, and he’s thrilled. He said: ‘Wow Mom, that’s a really good choice.’” As for being elected here, Clark said she plans to campaign the same way she did across the province last month. “I am going to doorknock. I’m going to talk to as many people as I possibly can. I’m going to make sure that I really get a chance to listen to people, talk to them about the issues that are important to them, and make sure that I can reflect those local issues.” She said if elected here, she will have a special responsibility to look after the needs of her new constituents. “I’m going to spend every minute I can making sure I know what those issues are.” On Friday, Clark will unveil her new cabinet. Stewart was minister of citizen services in the last B.C. cabinet.

Team Okanagan has an opening for a new member. But Kelowna-Mission Liberal MLA Steve Thomson and Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal MLA Norm Letnick hope to replace their outgoing Westside-Kelowna colleague Ben Stewart with an even bigger political player, Premier Christy Clark. Stewart, fresh off a dominating provincial election win May 14 in which he took 58 per cent of the vote in Westside-Kelowna, announced Wednesday he is stepping aside so Clark, who lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat in the election, can run here in a byelection. “It’s an important decision for the province, an important decision for the constituency of Westside-Kelowna and an important decision for myself,” said an emotional Stewart Wednesday. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Clark under sunny but wind-swept skies at his Quail’s Gate Winery in West Kelowna, Stewart said stepping aside for Clark did not mean he would step away from politics. He vowed to help Clark win in the riding that he has represented since 2009. Given the ease with which he won re-election in last month’s general election, Clark’s bid for the seat is not expected to be a difficult one. Stewart’s margin of victory was the fourth highest of any Liberal elected on May 14. As expected, Clark had nothing but praise for Stewart, saying she was “humbled” by his offer to give up his seat, a gesture she said represented the values he stands for— putting the interests of the province first. “His will be big shoes to fill but I will do my best

What at the time seemed to be a large inconvenience has resulted in an improved gas dock for Shelter Bay Marina. The marina’s former gas bar was damaged, along with two boats, in a fire last August. Over the May long weekend, Shelter Bay unveiled its new gas dock, which includes four pumps and a diesel fuelling option. “It’s the first time diesel has ever been offered on Okanagan Lake,” said Kathryn Albright, a supervisor who has worked at Shelter Bay’s gas dock for six years. Albright explained owners of diesel-powered vessels previously had to pay for the delivery of diesel. “We’ve only had a few diesel customers so far, but the season usually starts off slow. We’ll be busy in another two weeks, when the kids get
out of school and everybody has more time.” The timing of last August’s fire was unfortunate as Shelter Bay fuel sales were at an all-time high. “Our shack burned down during the busiest time of the season—it was right after August long weekend when we had a record-breaking long weekend with fuel sales. “After that, (Hotel) Eldorado was was the only place in the Kelowna area for people to go.” Albright added Shelter Bay managed to get a temporary dock opened three weeks later to help satisfy the demand. “People missed it. They wanted us back up and running as quick as possible.” Shelter Bay has installed additional security cameras for surveillance of its new gas dock, as well as more fire extinguishers and “no smoking” signs. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Sharon Hanna has taken over the branch head position at Westbank Library. Hanna brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, both from her time as reference librarian at the Kelowna branch since 2009 and as branch manager in the Vancouver Island Regional Library system before that. “It will be really great to get involved with the community—to build relationships, to carry on the good work that Judy has been doing and to in-
stigate some of my own ideas,” said Hanna. “It is a more independent position that will be fun and challenging: Managing people and getting to know the staff and library patrons.” Outgoing community librarian Judy Hammond—who has been with Okanagan Regional Library for 18 years— was honoured for her work at a celebration May 31. The Westbank branch is located in the Westridge Mall at 2484 Main St.
