West Kelowna council has approved proceeding with the $2,017,917 phase 1 of the Brown Road streetscape capital project.

The streetscape improvements will upgrade the road to the twolane town centre street standard recommended in the Westbank Centre Plan.

The phase 1 will encompass Brown Road from Main Street to Gateway Lane, a stretch of about 400 metres.

The streetscape improvements will include: • formalized on-street parking and bicycle facilities • widened sidewalks with business patio frontage opportunities • increased street trees and landscaping • ornamental street lights with hanging baskets • power service for designated special event area between Drought and Gosset Roads • relocation of overhead wiring underground • replacement of sewer and water service infrastructure.

One change in the original concept design concerned parking, as district staff recommended the Brown Road parking configuration be converted from perpendicular to parallel parking.

A staff report cited advantages to the changes.

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

On the day Westside-Kelowna voters cast their ballots to pick his replacement as MLA, Ben Stewart said he had no regrets stepping down so his boss, Premier Christy Clark, could run in the riding.

Stewart, who just days after being re-elected in last month’s the provincial election announced he was putting his party— and in his view the province—first by offering Clark a chance to run here, said he does not regret his decision.

“I have no mixed feelings today,” said Stewart on Wednesday as he accompanied Clark around the riding making one last-minute push for votes.

He said while it has been flattering hearing on the doorstep from residents who feel he should not have not given up his seat because they wanted him to remain their MLA, he noted it’s important that the premier have a seat in the B.C. Legislature.

“It’s flattering but I’m a realist,” Stewart told the Capital News. “If I felt any differently I would not have (offered my seat.)”

He said in politics you have an opportunity to build up what he called “an account of trust” with the people you represent.

Stewart found that to be the case when comparing the 2009 election to last month’s campaign.

People, he said, talk to him differently than they did four years ago when he landed on their doorstep seeking support.

“Stepping down, I think I probably depleted some of that trust with some people,” Stewart

conceded.

But he said he believes a greater good is being served.

He believes the new Liberal government under Clark will deliver on its promise of a balanced budget, better services for people and give the economy the kick start it needs. Stewart said he has already seen businesses starting to spend more, now that the Liberals have been re-elected to govern.

“I think they were scared of what they might get (with an NDP government,)” he said.

Stewart has repeatedly stated he offered his seat, he was not asked to give it up.

And, while he said he has not regretted a moment of his political life, he shares Clark’s view of what B.C. needs to grow its economy and why he gave up his MLA seat for her.

Well-known in local business circles for his development, operation and ownership—with his family—of West Kelowna’s Quails’ Gate Winery, Stewart said he felt he had a big stake in the outcome of Wednesday’s vote.

Between that and the fact he worked as Clark’s campaign chairman, he said he took the byelection campaign very seriously.

“It was personal for me,” he said.

Despite the fact he was not the candidate, Stewart said he still experienced, while working as Clark’s campaign manager, many of the same feelings he had as a candidate in the last election.

“There’s a rush of adrenaline you get (on election day),” he said, adding he was up at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, ready to get going. “Usually, I sleep very well.”

BEN STEWART giving his acceptance speech after winning the Westside-Kelowna

riding in the May 14 provincial election. Because of the Capital News press deadline Wednesday afternoon, look for the vote results of yesterday’s byelection on the Capital News website www.kelownacapnews.com and watch for the post-byelection coverage in Friday’s Capital News.

During the premier’s visits to the riding over the last five weeks, Stewart was constantly seen by her side, she mentioned him constantly and the campaign used him to ap-

peal for votes as much as possible.

In many ways Stewart was as much the face of the Liberal campaign in Westside-Kelowna as Clark was.

Coming off big a win in the May 14 election where he took 58 per cent of the vote, the Liberals knew it would be folly not to use such a popular local politician.

But it was not just his face—and voice on recorded vote-soliciting telephone messages— that the campaign used.

Stewart said over the last five weeks he worked hard to bring Clark up to speed not only on issues in the riding, but also on issues that overlap from colleagues Steve Thomson’s (Kelowna-Mission) and Norm Letnick’s (Kelowna-Lake Country) adjacent ridings too.

Over the last four years, the local trio of Central Okanagan MLAs, dubbed Team Okanagan, has worked closely on a myriad of local issues affecting all three ridings.

Rarely was one of the local MLAs seen at a local function without the other two. And when they spoke, it was always “we” (as in Letnick, Thomson and Stewart) rather than “I”.

Stewart predicted the next four years will be a new experience for Letnick and Thomson but he said he has no doubt they will keep working well together for the residents of the Central Okanagan.

As for what the future holds for the now former MLA, he said he plans to sit down with his family—wife, children, brother and sisters—to reconnect and figure out how to pass the family winery business on to the next generation of Stewarts.

But he said he has no plans to “sail” away into the sunset. “I’m just not that kind of guy,” he said.

“I’ll be around.”

Then he paused. “But ask me in a few months and if you get something with no return address, maybe I changed my mind,” he added with a laugh.

Then he added quickly: “No, just kidding.”

NEWS ▼ KGH FOUNDATION

Run in Colour fresh take on fundraisers Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Kyle Gowriluk is one of the best nursing students Kelowna General Hospital’s surgical unit has ever had, in no small part because the surgeons on the ward saved his life.

The 23-year-old was planning to become an engineer when he crashed his mountain bike in Salmon Arm, driving a tree into his hip and severing his femoral artery.

Most would likely bleed out from such an injury, particularly if perched on a mountain miles from help as Gowriluk was, but he got lucky and the accident changed the course of his life.

“I knew I hit an artery and I knew if you hit an artery…that’s not good,” he said Tuesday at a press conference for the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation’s new 5K

Kyle Gowriluk Run in Colour fundraising initiative. The foundation raises money to equip the ever-expanding hospital with the sorts of cutting-edge equipment needed to tackle a challenging surgery like Gowriluk’s.

His surgeon, Dr. Stephan Mostowy, was on hand for the press conference, describing how he used vein material from Gowriluk’s other leg to stop the bleeding and re-establish blood flow.

Once out of surgery,

the medical team struggled to stabilize the young man’s body as a long time had passed between the accident and his meeting with the Kelowna surgical team, and his body was having trouble coping.

With the tree limb still fully embedded in his leg, he had been transported first to the Salmon Arm hospital and then to Kelowna General, and the long wait had an impact on how his blood clotted post-surgery.

Having the tools necessary to make the repairs to Gowriluk’s body, and support him through the five days he spent in a coma, takes a lot of money.

“What the foundation does is amazing. It gives the hospital that community feel,” said Mostowy.

From opening one of only five B.C. sites upgraded for cardiac services—like angioplasty and

cardiac surgery—to creating a cutting-edge trauma unit the envy of many Lower Mainland facilities, there’s no other hospital quite like it in Mostowy’s view.

This week’s announcement was to highlight a new initiative the foundation is offering in hopes of expanding the demographic scope of their donors.

A Run in Colour, or Colour Run as it is often called, is targeted at young professionals and young families willing to run five kilometres, from station to station, hurling colour on each other at every stop.

A global phenomenon, the entertaining events started in the southern United States as a way for young adults and professionals to get out and have fun.

As a fundraiser, the event offers a more affordable option to the galas

and dance fundraisers the KGH Foundation uses to draw big dollars from big donors and establishes an entry point for younger members of the community to begin a philanthropic relationship with the charity.

Kelowna’s run will cost $45 per individual and teams are encouraged to enter and raise $2,000 or more to secure 10 free spots.

Mayor Walter Gray attended the announcement and prompted the kids gathered to help demonstrate how the run works to tell their parents they want to take part. He joked they would not have to shower for the rest of the summer if they come out.

Funds raised will help support KGH and the daily miracles it generates. In the last fiscal year, the hospital delivered 1,600 babies, admitted

KELOWNA’S new Run in Colour will help raise funds for Kelowna General Hospital when it launches from Waterfront Park this September.

Grade 7s in Lake Country to shift to George Elliot school Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

An interim middle school will open in portable classrooms in Lake Country in the fall of 2014.

The Central Okanagan School Board has decided to relocate Grade 7 students from Lake Country’s three elementary schools into portable classrooms that have already been moved next to George Elliot high school.

That will create what the school board is calling an interim Grade 7-8 middle school program to start the 2014-15 school year.

A similar plan is also proceeding for Okanagan-Mission Secondary as well.

The move in Lake Country is the latest in an ongoing effort by the school board to deal with an influx of school-aged kids in that community.

The area’s three elementary schools have a combined enrolment that exceeds the capacity of the three schools and some kindergarten kids will enter school this year, outside of their catchment area.

“The bottom line is we don’t

have enough room in our elementary schools to handle the enrolment,” said Central Okanagan Board of Education trustee Deb Butler, who represents Lake Country. “ One way or the other we would have kids in portables. It was a choice as the best way to manage that. We have to put the kids somewhere so the interim plan is to create a middle school within a high school until we get approval to build a new middle school.”

The school board approved the relocation at a meeting late last month and sent a letter home to district parents laying out the plans.

The board has also already acquired the portable classrooms and located them at George Elliot, something that set off alarm bells in the community, which had previously heard the district was going to build a new school.

“The portables are the compromise no one wanted,” admitted Butler.

“But they are a compromise so we can create a separate space for Grade 7s and 8s so they have their own space.

“They will go into the high school

for specialty programs but for the most part they will have their own space.”

The board has already acquired enough portables for the interim program after a school burned down in Oliver and the portables were available, free of charge to the school board, as long as they could move them.

The board decided to move them directly to George Elliot creating a stir in the community.

“It doesn’t sound like much planning and it’s disappointing when you see the process jumped forward in that way,” said Coun. Penny Gambell of the arrival of the portables in Lake Country.

“I am hearing parents are really distressed about the process. The idea of a middle school in a bunch of portables brings up some concerns.”

But Butler said the community has been properly consulted and parents were notified of exactly what was happening by letter.

She said the board is doing what they feel is the best for the community and there will be more public consultation over the next 14 months before

the portables open.

“We don’t have any intention of moving kids into the portables right away,” she said. “The plan is to build a foundation and put them together in a way that they have their own space.

“There are times when business needs to be done and moving these buildings was part of the business that had to be done,” Butler said.

“We would be crazy to say we don’t want free portables. The best thing we can do is keep the lines of communication open.

“People need to understand this is a good time to have a voice. I really believe in the middle school. I think this is the right time to happen in Lake Country.

“One way or another we need another school. But you just can’t snap your fingers and make it happen. You have to go through the process.”

The school board has an agreement in place to purchase the land that is currently home to the Aspen Grove Golf Course to locate a future middle school, once the provincial government approves the capital expenditure.

That will move the school mod-

el in Lake Country to one where elementary schools include kindergarten to Grade 5 students, middle school is Grade 6 to 8 and high school is Grades 9 to 12.

The sale is currently before the Agriculture Land Commission which would have to approve the use of the land for a school.

Butler, a former parent advisory council member in Lake Country, says it’s a different issue than when she had kids going though school and the school board was contemplating closing schools due to a lack of enrolment in Lake Country.

“It’s the opposite fight I had,” she said. “But I had to ask myself, ‘Are we fighting change for the sake of fighting change or what is the rationale behind this?’

“If this was about just moving the Grade 7s to the high school I couldn’t support it.

“But this is about moving to a middle school and I can support that.

“It’s important that we don’t lose focus. This is an interim step moving towards a middle school.’’ kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Last chance to give input on proposed City Park changes

Time is running out for Kelowna residents to have their say about how City Park should look in the future.

Residents have until July 15 to go onto the city’s website and provide feedback about a proposed concept plan that could result in a reconfiguration of the popular downtown, lakeshore park.

“We’re looking for your feedback once again on the proposed concept plan,” says a city in a public release calling for lastminute input.

Some of the key changes from ideas already re-

ceived over the past few months include: • Improved picnic areas • Separated cycling and pedestrian pathways • Separate types of activities (youth and children’s amenities) • Improved waterfront access (boardwalk and diving tower) • Enhanced sporting infrastructure to appeal to a diverse population • Improved circulation within the park, minimizing isolated spaces and maximizing uses for a variety of park visitors • A designated market/ vendor area

A new 16,000-square foot park pavilion building is also proposed and it would house year-round activity and community uses, including a new Tourism Kelowna area.

Tourism Kelowna would lease the space and there could be room rentals for functions, programming of recreation programs, washrooms and other amenities in the building.

It’s proposed location would require moving the Veendam Gardens, which currently lead to the Kelowna Cenotaph.

The garden were built to mark Kelowna’s sister-city relationship with

city of Veendam in the Netherlands.

The movement of the gardens cenotaph would not, however, affect the current location of the cenatoph, say city officials.

“This is the time to help shape the future of City Park,” says the city hall.

Plans for the park can be reviewed, and a short online survey taken, at kelowna.ca/mycitypark.

Following the initial public unveiling of proposals for the park, June 27, city staff and the design consultant will look at all the input gathered

Big byelection for the premier

B

y the time you read this today (Thursday), the 45,000 registered voters of the Westside-Kelowna riding will have spoken at the ballot box.

They will collectively have decided to elect Premier Christy Clark as their MLA, or instead chosen one of her opponents.

While that would most likely be the NDP’s Carole Gordon, also on the ballot were Conservative Sean Upshaw, BC Vision hopeful Jag Bhandari and independents Dayleen Van Rys-

wyk, John Marks, Silverado Socates and Korry Zepik.

As this editorial is written Wednesday afternoon, it is unlikely to foresee the discussion today to be about Clark losing this byelection. For the voters to reject having the premier as their MLA in a staunch Liberal riding would be a political setback of monumental proportions.

But this is B.C. politics, however, which more often should be in the entertainment rather than news section of newspapers, and there is a reason

why elections are held and why everyone’s vote does count, whether you cast a ballot or not.

Just ask the NDP, who saw too many of their votes never get to the ballot box in the provincial election, a false sense of security causing some voter apathy based on public polls that turned out to be inaccurate.

For her part, Clark and her campaign organizers saw at the outset some disgruntled public sentiment about the premier turning herself into a parachute candidate to get a seat in the

legislature after losing her own Vancouver-Point Grey riding in the provincial election.

So she took part in the two all-candidates meetings, did some door knocking, made the byelection campaign rounds despite the distraction of being premier—leaving little to chance.

A byelection victory will confirm Clark is firmly in control of the Liberals moving forward, while a loss would possibly wipe out the credit given to her as leading the Liberals to the May 14 election win.

Interesting education/work findings from 22-year-long study

I

n the early 1970s my brother entered engineering at the University of Alberta. For four years he alternated full-time study from September to April and full-time employment from May to August. I thought everybody who went to school did this.

But times have changed and that isn’t really what happens anymore.

A recent study by the B.C. government showed, of the 540 high school students who were tracked over 22 years, many who studied fulltime often worked part-time and regularly jumped from full-time to parttime work or the other way around.

The Paths on Life’s Way project surveyed 540 Grade 12 students in 1988. From then on this group was re-

quired to report monthly on whether they were either working or attending school. Further data was collected through a series of surveys in 1990, 1993, 1998, 2003 and 2010.

Highlights from the data illustrate a number of interesting points. Of those who ended up at college or university the following fall, very few studied full-time from September to April and worked full-time from May to August. Most ended up working part-time, studying full-time with occasional months of full-time employment.

Of the 540 respondents, women were more likely to work part-time and study full-time. They also tended to have longer periods of partJane time employment reMuskens gardless of whether they were a student or not. Men on the other hand had more periods of full-time employment. Women tended to move into and out of the work force more often than men. Women were also more likely to complete a post-secondary credential, a common thread within the last 10 years.

Of those who didn’t go straight

SCHOOL’S IN

into post-secondary education from high school, many went back at some point—only three per cent of the 540 surveyed never went back to school.

Those who entered college or university full-time directly from high school, were the most likely to complete a credential regardless of whether they worked part-time and studied full- or part-time.

Another statistic was that although those who completed a bachelor’s degree had only 11.4 years of full-time employment during the 22 years since leaving high school, they also had the lowest rate of unemployment.

Parental education also played a major role. For those students who had one or more parent who had a

bachelor’s degree or higher, were most likely to have spent more time in full-time education compared to those who had parents with little or no post-secondary education.

Students who lived in remote areas and were required to leave home for school tended to pursue full-time study and less part-time work. Urban students tended to mix full-time studies with part-time employment.

If you think of all the people who graduated from high school at the same time you did, many often juggle work and school at some point in their lives. Going to school isn’t just for 20-year-olds anymore.

PET GROOMING

▼ CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Parking lot crimes easy to put a halt to To the editor: Last weekend I was the victim of yet another Okanagan break-in.

I had stepped out of my car to enter Tim Hortons at Orchard Park Mall at approximately 9:35 a.m., and realized I had forgotten my wallet as I reached the entry doors.

It had been no more than four minutes before I re-approached my vehicle and found the passenger

side door wide open— belongings thrown everywhere, and wallet missing.

I had the kindest security guard review the security cameras, but there is very minimal security for the outside of the mall and parking areas. The cameras are on a continuous loop of the entire south/ east entrance therefore you do not have the potential to catch a crime in

progress, or the aftermath with ease.

If you look at statistics more than 80 per cent of criminal acts at shopping areas, malls etc. occur in the parking lot. This is not a new issue arising. This crime has had a foothold in this area for a long running period.

What I do not understand is why we are not implementing better security in order to deter

crime, and make us, as citizens and customers, feel safer.

Customer use will increase when the customer feels safer. Increased customer use means increased profits. This can be used to justify the increase in costs that would be related to any security/ parking patrol improvements.

Simply having security guards patrol the

lots as a deterrent could be one way to bring about improvements.

Another—installing additional cameras specifically for the parking areas.

There is a much bigger discussion that can come about from this topic, and I feel that it is highly important that we do so.

▼ ENBRIDGE PIPELINE

CEO says his company has pipeline answers To the editor: I read Al Waters’ excellent story (Making the Case for An Oil Pipeline in B.C., July 9 Capital News). Enbridge is still not speaking the truth when they say they are doing everything possible to have the best oil spill response available. They still plan to use the same oil spill response that BP used in 2010 (BP only recovered three per cent of the oil).

But Holder tried to allay those fears, saying the company plans to meet the B.C. government’s demands and said Enbridge will use thicker pipe than used before in the construction, employ “second-to-none” leak-de-

tection methods and sensors to detect leaks or potential for leaks, have the best spill response measures if there is a leak, etc.

Having “the best” is meaningless since none of them work on the ocean or flowing rivers, streams etc. What Enbridge is planning is to use is Corexit which has just been approved by Environment Canada despite the ongoing sickness it caused in 2010.

There actually is better technology now available from our company and last year Enbridge phoned me to discuss utilizing it, but nothing more was done. Nevertheless, there was some progress made independently of

Enbridge. Danny Williams, former premier of Newfoundland, invested in our company to fund the construction of a 12m prototype which we delivered to the Canadian Coast Guard last October.

There are now better alternatives to what BP did and what Enbridge plans to do. Government and industry standards are no longer the highest possible environmental standards.

Who the heck cares if Judi Tyabji is ‘comfy’ with Christy Clark as Premier?

To the editor: Re: Alistair Waters story, Tyabji A Blast From The Political Past (July 4 Capital News).

And we should care what Judi Tyabji thinks? Why? Quotes in article: “Members of her family

still live in the riding and she said she enjoys coming back to visit,” and, “Tyabji ‘comfortable’ with Clark as Premier.”

Well, as the Church Lady on SNL would say: ‘Isn’t that special.’

I’m surprised he didn’t add a photo of the

families—to enjoy.

Parks will have to be kept clean and owners should be fined $100 to 150 for not cooperating in a responsible manner, or for bringing bad mannered dogs to fields, whatever the breed, large or small.

The dog beach in West Kelowna could easily be left without the fence.

With little extra cost, the pathway for general public could be led off the dog beach to the level of the newly improved Gelatly roadway and back down to the Rotary Beach with the family and parking area.

Dog owners are tax payers too. They also pay licence fees and are being fined, just like motor vehicle owners on the highway.

And just like motorists having safe roads, dog owners should demand a fair deal for appropriate facilities as well. Some of the moneys from licence fees and fines should be allocated to maintain and improve existing facilities and to create new ones as the need arises.

The only dog beach in West Kelowna is in the process of being stripped of its grassy bench. It is being fenced off, leaving a narrow strip of muddy beach, dirt and gravel and some dangerously exposed cut-off stumps of shrubs and bushes, severely restricting the area where our dogs could run.

There are concerns that a failed rail venture could throw economic development off the tracks.

Hemer added that Kelowna Pacific still has a lease to the track.

Vancouver-based Boale, Wood and Company, which is overseeing the bankruptcy, also wouldn’t say if rail cargo will resume.

“We hope to come up with a game plan in a week or so,” said John McEown, a trustee with Boale, Wood.

A number of businesses are affected by the lack of rail service including Tolko Industries.

“We have a contingency plan for transportation interruption,” said Janice Lockyer, Tolko’s communications advisor.

To date, the city’s official float has attended 14 parades since June 15, making visits to Vernon; Vancouver; Osoyoos; Falkland; Abbotsford; Portland, Ore.; and Marysville, Cashmere, Bellingham and Grand Coulee, all in Washington. The float has also participated in three Kelowna parades. The float has traveled more than 6,000 km. The next parade appearances will be in Chewelah, Deer Park and Leavenworth in Washington, along with White Rock, Penticton, Armstrong, Salmon Arm and a Santa Claus parade yet to be determined.

Seven awards have been won, with the latest being the Mayors Award in Cashmere. The most prestigious was the Grand Sweepstakes Award in Marysville (Best Overall against 18 other entries).

Lytle goes to wherever you are at any time of the day. He will come to where you work, where you play or just about anywhere your car might be for a short period of time. Imagine, having the interior of your car cleaned while you are at work or even at the golf course. No worries about insurance or liability as he does not move the car, just needs the keys to open the vehicle to clean it. He vacuums the seats, floors and trunk; wipes down the leather seats; cleans the floor mats (carpet or rubber); wipes down the windows, console, all knobs,

steering wheel and removes garbage. He provides the service in both summer and winter (rain or snow), only uses eco-friendly solutions and is reasonable. It’s just another task that you can mark off your “to do” list.

Okanagan Garlic has been dubbed the icewine of garlic because of the processes the company uses to plant, grow, harvest and dry their garlic. This year, Okanagan Garlic has grown more than 35,000 garlic bulbs on their farm in Glenmore and the first of their harvest will be at the Kelowna Farmers and Crafters Market. Owner Bill Campbell says they will have five varieties available—Italian (for roasting and baking); German Red and Spanish Roja (for salads and marinades); Yugoslavian (for robust, ethnic dishes where you want to taste the garlic) and Music (for those who do not want to be overwhelmed by the garlicky flavour).

It would work better with the traffic lane configuration and would add four additional on-street parking spots.

Since parallel parking requires less right-of-way width, the revised parking configuration would lead to a larger enhanced pedestrian thoroughfare which would lend itself to better landscaping, street furniture and sidewalk improvements.

“The other issue with

perpendicular parking is that backing out of a parking stall meant crossing Brown Road centre line and affecting both directions of traffic,” said Nancy Henderson, district director of development services.

Parking was an issue for some West Kelowna councillors, with Coun.

David Knowles suggesting he was in favour of the pedestrian friendly additions to the Brown Road plan, saying council should be looking at

“We need to get people out of their vehicles and walking more,” Knowles said.

Henderson noted that side street parking would still be accessible to Brown Road shoppers.

Coun. Bryden Winsby said while angle parking is an issue of safety beyond more than just ambiance and convenience, he doesn’t want downtown West Kelowna to become a difficult place to find parking as he feels is the case with neighbouring Kelowna’s downtown core.

“Parallel parking is better for providing pedestrian-friendly streetscape features and patio opportunities for businesses,” Henderson reiterated.

David Knowles

“There will be angle parking available on the side streets.

“As for the Bernard Avenue parking situation,” he said, “it has beenL recommended we not do what was done for parking there with the rollover street curve to have cars parking on a level with the sidewalk, so we are not asking for that here.” b Mayor Doug Find-q later asked if Brown Roada residents would incur anyf costs, such as having aS trench dug out to facilitateB infrastructure water, sew-C er or underground wiring connections, to whichm Henderson replied any3 home service hook-upt costs are part of the pro-fi ject overall cost. r “It’s a lot more in-c volved than I original-a ly thought it would be,”c Findlater noted. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com i t a p i a t u t s s o b

Kelowna nets Fair Play Award

LIQUID Lightning swimmer Danielle Douglas qualified for nationals in the back-

stroke last weekend at the provincial AAA championships in Vancouver.

Lightning strikes at B.C. champs

Medals, personal bests, record times and qualifying standards were all part of the package for the Liquid Lightning Swim Club at the 2013 B.C. AAA Swimming Championships.

Seventeen LLSC members combined for 38 PBs, seven medals, two new age group qualifiers, eight individual club records and four relay club records last weekend at the UBC pool in Vancouver.

Liz Aguiar and Danielle Douglas punched their tickets to the Canadian Age Group Championships later this month in Montreal. Aguiar swam a qualifying time in both the 200 meter individual medley (2:27.62) and the 100 meter breaststroke (1:18:04). Douglas swam a qualifying time of 1:08.45 in 100 meter backstroke.

The team came home with seven medals: Kierra Smith won two gold (200 IM, 100 breast) and one silver (200 breast).

David Dimitrov won gold in 100 butterfly. Alex Diaz won silver in 1500 freestyle. Craig Mathieson won bronze in 100 breast.

The girls relay team of Danielle Douglas, Kierra Smith, Christina Russo, and Jessica Forbes won silver in the 400 medley and set a new club record.

Other swimmers that placed in the top eight positions included: Lucas Tyler, Jessica Forbes, Liz Aguiar, Chantelle Douglas, Danielle Douglas and Christina Russo. All together the club placed 4th in six races; 5th in two races; 6th in five races; 7th in 4 races, and 8th in five races.

Eight individual club records were broken. In the Boys 13-14 category,

Lucas Tyler set five new club records—50 free, 100 free, 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 back. In the Boys 15-and-over category.

Alex Diaz set a new club record for the 1500 free and David Dimitrov set new records in 100 breast and 100 free.

In the girls open category, a new 800 free relay time was set by teammates Kierra Smith, Danielle Douglas, Christina Russo, and Liz Aguiar. In the boys open category, new club records were set in both the 400 free and 400 medley relays by teammates David Dimitrov, Scott Andreen, Lucas Tyler, and Craig Mathieson.

Kate Aguiar, Scott Andreen, Chantelle Douglas, Lacey Falkingham, Lauren Fauchon, Jessica Forbes and Christina Russo had personal best times.

A’Jets set club records

The Kelowna AquaJets sent nine swimmers to Vancouver for the B.C. AAA Swim Championships held at UBC. The meet hosted almost 700 competitors and over 40 teams from around

B.C. Coaches Peter Wilkins and Cody Hitchcock could not have been happier with the results from the weekend.

“The swimmers put in remarkable efforts over

the five days showing a lot of character and a lot of maturity” said Wilkins.

The Kelowna United U-16 girls returned from the Provincial B Cup held in North Vancouver last weekend, sporting bronze medals.

KU revealed their depth and teamwork in the battle for third against Prospect Lake Victoria Club. Late in the first half, Jazlyn Lazar delivered the ball to the box and Kelsey Slattery capitalized giving Kelowna the lead at the break. An infraction by Victoria’s keeper resulted in a penalty kick at the 60-second minute which was perfectly nailed by Kelowna’s Lindsay Lalach for a 2-0 Kelowna lead.

The KU attacks kept coming as Emma Johnsons’ cross set up Meghan Gerein for a focussed finish in the net. Brianne Mapson’s gorgeous header was icing on the cake delivered off of another Johnson cross. Avery Watson recorded the shutout with defensive leadership from Abbey Nyberg and Krisztina Breti in the 4-0 win.

Kelowna was also honoured with the Fair Play Award in their age group. This award, with input from referees and tournament officials acknowledged the team whose players, coaches, and supporting spectators demonstrated great sportsmanship.

Kelowna had 3 games in their round robin pool leading up to the medal matches. KU earned a 2-0 win over Penticton, losing to Ladner and tying North Vancouver to earn a spot in the bronze medal game.

Kelowna United players Ayden Corrigan and Isaac Koch made it close, but the team couldn’t overcome a 3-0 deficit from the first half. North Van dominated the first half, and if not for some incredible saves by Austin Glabus-MacLeod the deficit could have been much larger.

KU was first in its pool after the round robin after each team had a win and two ties and Kelowna was awarded first due to goal differential.

The team opened the event with a 1-1 tie against Terrace as Lachlan Wallace scored a beauty on a volley to earn a single point.

In its second game, Kelowna played topranked Cliff Avenue United from Burnaby and came away with another tie, 2-2. Despite outplaying Cliff Avenue through most of the game the team had to come back twice to earn the tie on goals by Kyle Taylor and Isaac Koch.

On Saturday the team went into its final game of the round robin knowing they had to win by a 5-0 score to have the tie breaker in their favour. They came out hungry and could have had a handful of goals in the first 15 minutes if not for some outstanding play by the Prince George goalkeeper.

The team finally broke through late in the first half on goals by Isaac Koch and Lachlan Wallace, but went into the second half up only two.

A couple of early second half goals by Isaac Koch put them on the verge of the gold medal game, and two late second half goals by Robbie Martin clinched a place in the final where they would earn the silver medal.

club records.

Sam McDonald, 14, lowered his own club records in the 50 and 100 metre breaststroke events, grabbing a bronze medal in the 100m race. Both of his times, plus his time in the 200m breaststroke, qualify McDonald for the Canadian Age Group Nationals in Montreal in two weeks time.

Teammate Julien Roberts, 15, also earned his third standard time in the 100m fly. His time smashed the AquaJets previous record for 15 to 17-year-olds by over two seconds, surpassing a 1987 record set by Peter Fagan. The swim also earned Roberts a bronze medal.

Josh Zakala,15, also took down two records in one swim with his 200m breast swim breaking two Roland Bauhart records set in 1996 in the men’s 15

to 17 as well as open age categories.

McDonald, Roberts and Zakala were joined

by Cameron Feil, 16, and teamed up to break two records in the relay events for the open age category, establishing new club standards in the 4x200m free and the 4x100m medley.

The girls side also set a record in the 4x100m free as the team of Katie Dunlop, 14, Molly Hill,11, Axana Merckx, 12 and Clarisse Obedkoff, 13, teamed up to set a new AquaJets’ record.

After competing in the AAA provincials, six AquaJets took part in an open water event hosted in Abbotsford with the swimmers competing in two, three or five kilometre events this past Monday.

Combined at the two competitions, the ‘Jets had 11 trips to the podium. Zakala led the charge taking

a gold in the Men’s 3km open water swim along with four bronze in the pool. Roberts was able to grab a silver in the 3km open water, finishing behind Zakala, as well as a bronze in the 100m fly.

Hill earned a silver in the 100 fly while McDonald took bronze in the 100 breast and Tia Itterman, 15, added another medal in the women’s 3km open water swim.

Clarisse Obedkoff, 13, also earned a medal, winning bronze in the 200m fly.

The AquaJets have just one competition left for the season as team members will head to Montreal July 24 to 29 for the age group nationals.

AquaJets will start back up in September, and will be hosting a free camp for new members at the end of August. For more information visit the Jets online at www.kelownaaquajets. com.

Hubble wins 6th national title Led by Kathy Hubble’s gold medal performance, members of the Kelowna Judo Club and Lake Country Judo Club made their presence felt at the Canadian Judo Championships at the Richmond Oval.

Fourth athletes from the local clubs competed last weekend at nationals, with three bringing home medals, including Hubble’s sixth national title.

Hubble, Chris Smiley, Bailey Leatherdale and Dave Guthrie have been training hard together for this past year in preparation for the big weekend, which was hosted by B.C. for the first time in many years. Fighting on the first day was Leatherdale, 16, in the U18 division, drawing two difficult fights, but holding his own especially well against the black belt from Quebec, who was the eventual silver medalist. “Bailey should be proud of the way he fought,” said coach Kathy Hubble.

The next day of competition was Masters (30 and over) and first to fight was Smiley, 36, who trains out of Lake Coun-

try Judo Club but puts in as many hours at Kelowna Judo Club, honing his skills with fellow national competitors. Smiley had an intense first round against the eventual gold medal winner, but made up for it in the second and third rounds, winning both matches by Ippon (a perfect score, or throwing the opponent flat on their back). Smiley finished with the bronze.

Next up was Guthrie, 42, who along with Hubble, 44, is an instructor at Kelowna Judo Club.

Guthrie had a great first fight, chucking his opponent with a left seio-nage (shoulder throw) and immediately pinning him for the required time for the win. His second match was a disappointment as he had trained all year to compete against this particular opponent, and after an accidental leg-touch, it was over.

Hubble was last to compete, and after being five-time Canadian champion back in her youth, there was a bit of pressure coming back 25 years later as a Masters athlete to hopefully repeat the

feat. Kathy’s first match went as planned, scoring an Ippon with a ko-uchi gari on a second degree black belt from Alberta.

Then in the gold medal match, Kathy threw her opponent for a Wazari (half-point) with a maki komi and pinned her for the allotted time for the win. It was Hubble’s sixth national title.

“I felt good in my matches, only due to all the cardio training we four have been doing together at our dojo,” said Hubble.

“When we get older, we need triple the amount of cardio just to keep up out there on the mat.”

Hubble credits Kelowna’s success to the help from fellow instructors and the willingness of a few students to be throwing dummies for the practices. “Without Jim, Stu, Nikki and Dan and so many other willing bodies to help us, we wouldn’t have been able to train properly, and we owe so much to them.”

Hubble is preparing to compete next in November at the World Masters Championships in Abu Dhabi.

Whistleblower protection won’t help image of a squealer

T

he life of a whistleblower appears to be a lonely one.

I imagine that nobody knows that better, right now, than Edward Snowden.

Snowden is a former contractor with the American National Security Agency (NSA) and a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

In June, he turned over to the news media documents revealing a massive, widespread and top-secret NSA program to compile telephone records and other online communications data ostensibly in the cause of antiterrorism and counterintelligence.

Since he made the revelations of the NSA’s covert program of harvesting information, Snowden has been on the run. He was in Hong Kong at the time of his disclosures and, soon after, flew to Moscow.

As of the last I heard, he was still in the Moscow airport, arranging for asylum in countries such as Venezuela and Nicaragua.

I wonder what he plans to do if and when he reaches one of those countries? Is there a big demand in South America for people who seek to reveal their government’s

YOU WORK HERE

Robert Smithson secrets?

Snowden’s stay in a foreign airport reminds of a Tom Hanks movie called Terminal, in which he played a man who became trapped in a New York City airport when he was denied entry into the U.S. and couldn’t return home.

That movie, I gather, was partially inspired by an actual 17-year-stay of a man in the Paris airport terminal.

Snowden said, of his leaks, that they were an effort “to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them.”

He also stated: “The public needs to decide whether these programs and policies are right or wrong.”

Snowden demonstrated his recognition of the likely ramifications of his conduct when he stated: “I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions, and that the return of this information to the public marks my end.”

But, he also said: “I don’t want to live in a society that does these sort of things…I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded.”

Over a period of time in both dealing with, and learning of, employment situations in which an employee becomes a whistleblower, I’ve wondered about the reaction they tend to get.

My general feeling is that we should welcome and salute the courage of these people but I haven’t observed that to be the case.

The organization (whether social, corporate, or political) on which the whistle is blown seemingly always reacts with hostility.

The first tendency seems to be to try to discredit and isolate the whistleblower, to turn him or her into a pariah.

That’s perhaps not too surprising, though still regrettable). A truth of human behaviour seems to be that when our personal status quo, our source of stability, is threatened we react negatively regardless of the legitimacy of the threat.

Snowden was quickly charged by U.S. federal prosecutors with espionage and theft of government property.

Government officials have called his actions reckless and characterized him as a traitor, likely in an effort to keep the focus on him and off the legality of the NSA’s surveillance programs.

As a society, the reaction may be somewhat less hostile but it’s not exactly one of embracing the whistleblower.

It’s as if (to me, anyway) the whistleblower is in the position of being presumed guilty (or wacko) until proven innocent.

There is plainly a level of conflict in the collective mind of the public when it comes to the actions of people like Snowden.

Time magazine published the results of its poll on this topic—the results are intriguing and demonstrate our challenge in assessing these situations.

Time’s poll showed that 54 per cent of respondents felt Snowden did a “good thing” by informing the public of the NSA surveillance.

But 53 per cent of respondents felt that the U.S. government should prosecute such people.

Sixty-three per cent of respondents feared that the U.S. government will “misuse” the information collected by the NSA, but 48 per cent of respondents approved of the government’s “collecting of phone records, emails and internet search records.”

Those numbers demonstrate uncertainty among the public about the right and wrong of actions such as Snowden’s and about what (if anything) should be done with him as a result.

It’s apparent that Americans have mixed feelings on this subject.

Maybe, though laws in places like British Columbia have evolved to protect whistleblowers against retaliation, the old schoolyard refrain, “nobody likes a squealer,” takes priority.

Whatever the reason, people like Edward Snowden likely must resign themselves to a life of isolation and loneli-

BUSINESS

Building an entrepreneurial team requires tough decisions

A

ssembling my thoughts to write an entrepreneurial personal again this week, my mind began to drift to news items I have read in the realm of economic development strategies for the Okanagan Valley.

I thought about young people’s attraction to the valley landscape to enhance our economic picture, and recognize that we haven’t fully recovered from the economic downturn that started back in 2009.

That is coupled with the mixed signals that continue about how the entrepreneurial spirit might continue to better define itself in our region.

I found my thoughts brought me back to an-

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young other favourite topic of mine—the meaning of entrepreneurial teams and their impact on our world.

Consider how genuine team formation beyond sports and recreation can impact your life, our business community and the economy of our region and province.

I bring back to you the old Chinese saying: “It is difficult to clap with one hand.” It appropriately opens our re-

flection on entrepreneurial teams, which over the past 15 years has received increased attention as a body of research suggesting that fast growth firms are more likely to have been founded by entrepreneurial teams.

Much of my own research over the years has supported the idea that the entrepreneurial venture creation process is quite often precipitated by a team of entrepreneur-minded people rather than the individual zealot.

An entrepreneurial team may be defined as two or more individuals who jointly envisage an business opportunity and combine their creative and financial interests to

create a new venture.

After dabbling in this team thought model, I wanted to remind us all of the importance and direct relevance of entrepreneurial leadership in this same context and how important this ingredient is in creating an entrepreneurial mindset.

For an entrepreneurial leader, building a great team is crucial to successful launch and growth of a new venture.

Early stage teams without such substantive leadership never seem to have the complete recipe of skills needed to take the perceived opportunity along its desired path.

So let’s identify what skills do we need, and how do we find, attract and engage the best talent for our new venture.

And most critically, perhaps, as an entrepreneurial leader, how do you motivate, lead and retain the created team toward our version of successful victory?

Let me explain that entrepreneurial leaders are distinguished from other managers by their personal practices.

Such practices, I suggest to you, fall into three categories—setting the entrepreneurial work climate; orchestrating the venture opportunity-seeking and moving the new venture or ventures personally in a forward motion.

Getting strategic in deciding what skills we need to make our dream

venture become a reality is a great beginning to team creation.

For example, what will make your new venture standout from the perceived competition?

What capabilities will be crucial to your success?

What skills must you have on your team to achieve your goals, to create value and, of course, to protect that newly created value?

Simply put, you need to design a strategy tor each out to the targeted culture group for your new venture.

One that will make your prospective team members easily able to commit and dedicate themselves in seeing your dream realized.

Let’s also delve a bit into getting tactical, meaning to get your wonder team together and build a specification or a list of responsibilities for each key position in your new venture structure.

For example, making certain the parts add up to the whole. Frankly speaking, assess how well the collective talent you have assembled matches up with what you will need to succeed in the early stages of your venture launch.

Then I would suggest that you strive to get the best people around you.

Depending on the stage of your venture and how much money you can and wish to spend, your approach to finding

the right team candidates may vary.

You will need to be pro-active and aggressive while you are evaluating a potential team membership, for remember it’s your “dream machine” that you are creating.

Appeal to a team candidate’s need to win. And appeal not only their technical skills and experience, but their values and cultural beliefs as well.

Two more ingredients make up my recommended team recipe.

Take a personal role in motivating and retaining this wonderous championship team you have created. That’s your job as the entrepreneurial leader in your new exciting venture creation.

The way that you lead your team will be the most important factor.

Share your vision and be open about the challenge. Share your entrepreneurial passion and demonstrate your determination.

Much has been written the world over about passion reigning supreme over the venture process and success curve.

Teach and mentor, share your talents, and most important of all demonstrate humility.

You will want to hear clearly and unmistakably what your new team may be telling you.

The last aspect of creating your team is to get

tough. Try your best to objectively evaluate each team member annually and update their list of responsibilities.

Hold your people accountable where warranted. It’s really not that hard to know when you may need to change some element within your core team, but it’s very hard to decide to actually do it.

I have had to make those decisions during some of the periods of my entrepreneurial life and the decisions remained with me for a time after.

Not enjoyable, but necessary, I can assure you.

Please consider these words in closing out today’s column— you can’t please everyone, and if your new venture is changing rapidly, your needs may change just as rapidly.

Always make your need change with grace and support being forever true to yourself.

Forgive yourself, and move on to achieve your entrepreneurial dream.

You will be amazed at the inner joy leading a successfully structured team brings to your life, those around you and to your business venture.

Police on the hunt for robbery suspect

Kelowna RCMP spent mid-day Wednesday combing the Rutland area for a shoplifter who threatened Walmart staff with pepper spray as they tried to prevent him from stealing items from the store.

Shortly before noon, police officers could be seen in the Walmart parking lot and along Dilworth Drive, a helicopter hovering over the neighbourhood, as they searched for a man said to have started ripping open merchandise in the garden department, then threatened the staff who tried put an end to the destruction.

“When security confronted him, he produced the pepper spray and said he had a gun. The suspect ran from the property, dumping the merchandise in the process,” said Const. Steve Holmes.

Holmes said a the gun was never produced and no one was injured. Police officers cordoned off the area surrounding the store and brought in police dogs, but he managed to get away.

Capturing Ogopogo is easier.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ DANCIN’ BAREFOOT FESTIVAL

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

Sweeney Todd set to reunite in Peachland Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Jim McCulloch and Nick Gilder just might share a stage in Peachland at the Dancin’ Barefoot Festival on July 20 for the first time since the ’80s.

Among B.C.’s classic rock royalty, Gilder is turning what could have been a swan song of festival dates into a secondround rock n’ roll career, touring the country with a new version of Sweeney Todd, the group he and McCulloch started together in the ’70s.

McCulloch is hoping to come up from his home in Okanagan Falls to play a song or two with the reincarnated effort—a first in 30 years—and Gilder couldn’t be more thrilled.

“It’s just fun to play these songs that people really still enjoy,” said Gilder. “I do wonder how long it can last. How long can I expect to do this?

How long will people still be interested in this?”

Sweeney Todd is known for its hit Roxy Roller and Gilder and McCulloch for Hot Child in the City, a song they launched after breaking from the rest of the band.

The Juno Award-winning music was big enough to earn Gilder a slot on the roster for Canada Day on Parliament Hill upon his return to Canada.

Playing to 300,000 screaming fans decked out in red and white is a bit of a rarity for a classic rock act these days, but being able to stand the test of time has brought plenty of great opportunities his way.

After taking 20 years out to work as a writer in Los Angeles, he took a serious interest in getting and staying healthy and physically fit and has since been able to play with big bands of the era like Glass Tiger, Honeymoon Suite and Harlequin.

He was even offered a chance to play with Pat

Benatar this year, though he had to turn it down— he was playing the Dancin’ Barefoot Festival.

As big a thrill as sharing the stage with some of the big names of the era can be, it still doesn’t beat time in front of an audience, he claims.

“It’s surprising to me that there’s a lot of young people that really like rock and have picked up on that scene,” said Gilder.

“Moms bring their daughters or dads bring their sons.”

He’s playing the Mettawa, Ont. Voyager Days festival and Rock n’ Roar in Spanish, Ont. In Brandon, Man. they played the Trails West Inn and they’ll be at Whoop Up Days in Lethbridge, Alta.

“I quite like the festival scene, playing outside at night in the summertime; but the indoor thing is good too,” he said.

If there’s one way to describe Nick Gilder at 62, it’s grateful. From watching his salt and sug-

NICK GILDER (second from right) says he’s willing to go the extra mile to keep

playing for audiences, whether that means travelling the country or working out to keep his energy up on stage. ar intake and exercising to keep himself full of energy, to signing autographs on old posters his fans bring in with stories of where they were obtained, Gilder says he’s always willing to go the distance for that chance to keep the dream alive.

“It’s always a thrill,” he said. “I think if there’s any benefit to the years going by, it’s that you appreciate things more.

When you’re young, it’s all happening so fast and so furious, when you’re older…I think I’m just

enjoying it more.”

Of course, the ride along the way could not have been bad either.

Writing for artists from Bette Midler to Joe Cocker and Benatar—not to mention Patti Smythe’s The Warrior—he managed to snag some plum assignments, even after his own popularity faded from the charts.

This great attitude and vitality caught the organizers of the popular Peachland festival’s attention.

This is the sixth year

for the Dancin’ Barefoot Music Festival, a homegrown event started in Cousins Park by Elivs tribute artist Terry MacGillivray and carried on by his wife and daughter after his passing.

Tickets for the July 20 show are on sale at the Peachland Chamber of Commerce, 250-7672455, or ticketbreak.com.

Go see The Lone Ranger if you really like horses THE LONE RANGER I’m actually not sure what to make of The Lone Ranger.

It’s not exactly a comedy, it’s sort of a western, there’s some action, lots of bad stuff being done to Native Americans, there’s fantasy because some scenes are just not even possible to believe (cue the horse), there’s a whole lot of crooked guys trying to make a whole lot of money, no matter who gets hurt, so there’s suspense.

You’d think with all that, this might be a great

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen film—it’s not!

It’s in the telling of the story that things get a little wonky and it’s hard to find the tale (yes we know it’s just a story) even somewhat believable as it’s being told by a very old Tonto (whose name actually means “fool” in Spanish, so they changed the name to “Toro” which

means bull, and there’s a whole lot of that going on here!)

We do find out why he’s called The Lone Ranger and how his horse got his name (remember the horse’s name?).

The original Lone Ranger was a radio show and led to a spin off radio series called The Green Hornet.

John Reid (Lone Ranger) is played by Armie Hammer. As a Ranger he’s just silly and awkward. Hammer’s great grandfather was Armand Hammer, (often thought to be named after the baking soda), and who, for

decades, ran Occidental Petroleum and whose dubious history is still being written.

Tonto, the Spirit Warrior (Johnny Depp) is, of the two of them, the one with the brains, and through a tragic error in judgement years before, has been outcast from his tribe.

Depp had a serious accident during the filming when a fall from his horse left him bruised and cut. He credits the horse, which jumped to avoid stepping on him, for saving his life. Thankfully, the horse has enough smarts for everyone.

William Fichtner plays the truly evil Butch Cavendish, Tom Wilkinson, as Cole, Helena Bonham Carter is “Red” Harrington. This is actually the first film which features Depp and Carter where Tim Burton is not the director.

So, would I recommend the film? If you have the time (it’s long), and if you are a real Depp fan, as he’s once again in full character mode with make-up inspired by artist Kerby Sattler’s painting entitled “I am Crow.”

I might recommend it if you like horses, but with so many good shows

either out now or coming soon, I wonder if it’s worth it.

Hammer’s acting is a little light though the rest of the cast does well, but it’s not enough to make this a “go see.”

It cost $225 million to make and in Canada the two-day box office totals were $11.7 million. Despicable Me 2 came in with $34.3 million and might be a better bet.

I give The Lone Ranger two reels (and that’s for the horse).

Critics have praised Whedon’s adaptation as energetic and charming— that’s hard to resist.

REED DIAMOND (left) and Nathan Fillion star in Joss Whedon’s contemporary adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado about Nothing.

Grown Ups 2 to cash in on GU1 Davis from B2 The East is also starring Ellen Page, Patricia Clarkson and Julia Ormond.

Mexican-born filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has already impressed audiences with movies like Cronos, Mimic, Blade 2, Hellboy and his Academy Award-winning Pan’s Labyrinth.

He was originally set to direct The Hobbit movies, but he left the project when it was delayed (he still gets a screenwriting credit).

Del Toro’s newest looks like Transformers vs. Godzilla, but true to del Toro’s vision, Pacific Rim is actually much deeper than that.

Set in the near future, giant monsters identified as Kaiju have risen from a portal beneath the Pacific Ocean, resulting in a war which takes millions of lives and quickly consumes humanity’s resources. To combat the monsters mankind develops Jaegers, massive robots that need the minds of two pilots to control, but even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenceless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.

On the verge of defeat, it is up to a team of a washed-up former pilot and an untested rookie driving a seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past to save mankind.

Three years ago, Adam Sandler teamed up with Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade in Grown Ups and became

one of his biggest hits.

Never before has Sandler starred in a sequel to one of his movies, but the success of the original and the chemistry of the stars almost demanded Grown Ups 2 to be made.

Although the plot is only to facilitate its comedic set pieces, Sandler’s character relocates his

family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up.

Most important is the supporting cast, which features the return of Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph and cameos from the likes of Steve Buschemi, Nick Swardson, Andy Samberg, Cheri Oteri,

Shaquille O’Neal, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Jon Lovitz, Tim Meadows, Taylor Lautner and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Patrick.

Think before signing off on settlement A n ICBC settlement follows a predictable pattern, even though the end result is always uncertain.

At some point, the “recovery phase” ends with

the injured victim reaching a permanent plateau after pursuing and following all treatment options available and letting “time heal.”

It is at that point when

it becomes appropriate to enter into settlement negotiations with the ICBC adjuster.

Often, ICBC has already made an offer during the recovery phase.

Sometimes, there has been more than one offer.

Those initial offers typically represent a small percentage of the fair level of financial compensation that is eventually negotiated.

Once settlement negotiations commence, the amount of back and forth with offers and counter-offers depends on a number of factors, with both sides feeling out how firm the other side is in their settlement position.

In a previous column, published Aug. 26, 2007, I commented about a negotiating tip I had heard “on the street,” that you should not accept ICBC’s first offer.

I countered, tongue in cheek, with: “Don’t accept the insurance company’s fourth offer.” Google “ICBC fourth offer” to see that column.

Paul Hergott to assist you with the negotiation, but you put pen to paper when making offers and counter-offers for the purchase or sale of a home.

It is your signature, not that of your real estate agent, that goes on those offers and counter offers.

By contrast, a personal injury claim settlement is reached through communications between your lawyer and the insurance adjuster.

Your lawyer helps you make the final settlement decisions, and follows your instructions, but the actual communication to reach a settlement could be as unofficial as a telephone message from your lawyer: “Your latest offer is accepted.”

After the settlement is reached, ICBC sends over the settlement funds along with a document called a “Release” containing your formal, written acceptance of the offer.

Your lawyer is unable to release the settlement funds until you have signed the Release.

What happens if you change your mind between the time you instruct your lawyer to accept ICBC’s last offer and the time you are sitting across your lawyer’s desk to sign the Release?

You haven’t signed anything yet. Can you just choose to send back the settlement funds and resume negotiations?

A July 2, 2013, court decision, Gaida v. McLeod dealt with a similar issue.

Mr. Gaida had instructed his lawyer to accept a settlement and that acceptance was communicated to the defence.

Later that night, Mr. Gaida changed his mind.

He says that he had felt pressured when deciding to accept the offer.

His lawyer did what he could to re-open the negotiations but the defence applied to the court to enforce the settlement, and the application was successful.

Quoting from the decision: “A solicitor acting for a party in settlement negotiations acts as the agent of the client, and is presumed to have the authority to bind the client ‘unless the client has limited his authority and the opposing side has knowledge of the limitation…’”

Once the “trigger has been pulled” on a settlement, the deal is done.

Your signature on the Release is a mere formality. Whether or not you choose to sign that Release, your case was settled by that telephone message.

What is the lesson here? One lesson is to avoid making settlement decisions when you feel pressured.

You should have the opportunity to be fully advised by your lawyer and to carefully consider your options.

If you find yourself feeling pressured, wait.

Have the words of that Meatloaf song in your mind, the song in which the young lady “by the dashboard lights” stops

and I recommend against feeling pressured by that potential.

Only once in my practice do I recall an offer being withdrawn before my client had a full opportunity to consider it.

The case ended up settling at approximately $100,000 more than the withdrawn offer.

Don’t be like the boyfriend in the Meatloaf song who ends up giving into the kind of pressure no man should have to withstand and lives with regret for the rest of his life.

Had I only been there to reassure him that the offer would almost certainly be on the table again the following night.

Another lesson is to realize that when you give a thumbs up to your lawyer, the deal is done.

There is no turning back.

Vitamin injections can help subside morning sickness P Morning sickness may be caused by the large hormonal shifts that occur during the first few months of pregnancy.

This includes increased estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormone.

Estrogen can be 70 times higher and progesterone 10 times higher than pre-pregnancy levels.

These hormones may affect smooth muscles in the digestive tract, leading to nausea and vomiting.

Other potential causes include poor nutrition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, low blood sugar and high levels of stress.

be difficult to keep down prenatal vitamins with even a little water during the first three months, I offer all my pregnant patients intramuscular vitamin injections to manage morning sickness.

This helps to ensure proper neural tube development for the growing baby.

Personally, I’m not sure I would have made it through my first four months of pregnancy, without getting weekly shots.

This is a good alternative if you have adverse feelings about taking prescription medications during pregnancy.

These medications (ie. Diclectin) at four pills a day, do not always prevent the symptoms and can be very expensive, $120 to $150 for a one month supply.

Pregnancy also heightens the senses which can increase the experience of stress.

Naturopathic medicine has many tools to help aid in the treatment of morning sickness including: NDs can work with patients before they become pregnant to optimize fertility and promote healthy detoxification to reduce toxin loads.

Nutritional counselling to optimize nutrient intake and relieve nausea.

regnancy is a wonderful gift and every woman deserves to enjoy the experience.

Unfortunately, nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, commonly called “morning sickness” despite the fact it can occur throughout the day, affects a large majority of pregnancies.

Up to 70 per cent of women report nausea and 30 to 50 per cent of women go through the dreaded experience of vomiting in the first thee to five months of pregnancy.

Although most cases are mild and resolve by the 20 week stage of a pregnancy, for some, it can last the entire nine months, which is clinically known as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).

HG is characterized by persistent nausea and vomiting that results in dehydration, ketosis, electrolyte imbalances and weight loss.

This project has been funded in part by Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program.

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home?

Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities?

Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program.

Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

ier task and often results in better treatment outcomes.

In B.C., nearly 15 percent of the population is low income, much higher than in some other provinces such as Alberta where just 8.7 per cent are low income. As I have discussed in other columns, poverty is a very big factor in overall health outcomes and mental health in particular.

When we address issues of poverty such as access to affordable housing, health tends to improve as well.

I have written in the past about access to healthcare and mental health care in particular.

In this report, B.C. scored an A for overall accessibility of healthcare and a B when it comes to wait times to see specialists. This is positive news in general although I question its accuracy when it comes to mental health care specifically.

We have seen other relatively recent reports showing a real need for better, and timelier, access

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own.

Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

to mental health professionals. What this report did show quite well was that healthier lifestyles show a direct link to overall health.

Even though B.C. doesn’t spend the most on healthcare or perform the best in terms of our health care system, we still boast the healthiest population overall.

It speaks to the ongoing need for healthy lifestyle education and disease prevention strategies across the country.

In addition to continuing the good work in promoting healthy living, our scores would likely reach the honour roll with some targeted and specific improvement in a few areas of our health care system.

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis.

If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

FortisBC Inc. has filed its application to set rates for electricity customers with the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC).

In the application, FortisBC is applying for a five-year (2014-18) performance-based regulatory plan and is requesting a 3.3 per cent increase for 2014.

“Our customers have told us that the cost of electricity and reliability are their main concerns,” said John Walker, president and CEO of FortisBC. “In this application, we’re trying to balance our customers’ need to minimize rate increases, while addressing rising power costs and paying for the necessary investment to the electrical system.”

Take the time to listen to your body CONTRIBUTOR

As a community dietitian, I am often asked about the latest trends and diets.

I think to get right to the heart of the subject, lets put the Google search away, get back to the basics and listen to our bodies.

If you could ask your body what it needs to feel good and enjoy life—I think this is what it would tell you.

Eat regularly. Whether you are working, hiking or travelling, your body needs fuel (food) every three to four hours to support what you are doing.

Without regular fuel the body’s metabolism

slows down and becomes sluggish and this can result in weight gain.

Too little food can cause weight gain and so can consuming only one or two bigger meals a day.

Spreading your food intake throughout the day and eating balanced meals of three to four of the food groups will let your body perform it’s best.

Don’t cut out the good carbohydrates. Do you ever feel your energy levels dropping in the afternoon or during an activity? It might be due to a lack of carbohydrates (often called carbs) to balance your meal. Carbohydrates come from the bread and cereals food group.

Many diets limit this

group which is an important team player that supplies the body with fuel and vitamins.

Check out Canada’s Food Guide to learn more about developing a balanced plan for you.

Keep sugary drinks and treats in check. These choices have the sole purpose of pure pleasure but too much fun, too often can add up faster than you think.

A small French vanilla cappuccino can pack 10 teaspoons of sugar and two teaspoons of fat; a 591 ml bottle of pop has 17 teaspoons of sugar.

It’s okay to enjoy the odd sweet treat but be sure to check in with yourself and ask how often and what else do I

enjoy that might be better for me.

Cool smoothies with fresh berries, fruit, and yogurt with 100 per cent juice are a delicious and healthier choice. Get a move on. Your body loves to move whenever it gets a chance. Try planning activities based on seasons to provide a variety of fun activities that can keep you moving throughout the year.

Activity has added benefits that we may not often think about like taking the time to clear our minds, notice our surroundings, connect with friends and family and challenging ourselves by trying something new.

Enjoy real fresh food.

cooked, real, locally grown food.

This is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh picked colourful produce and herbs from your garden or local food markets.

If your body could talk to you right now I think it would say, “Don’t worry so much about the trends and the fads—feed me regularly with good, fresh, tasty food and be sure to keep me moving …and by the way thanks for listening.”

IN LOVING MEMORY OF RYAN CRIDLAND A year has now passed Since our Ryan has been gone.

Not a day goes by That we don’t wonder why And cannot help but cry...

He lived, he loved, he laughed And enjoyed life to the fullest.

And now...

We live, we love, we laugh But inside our hearts are aching.

We carry on...

Knowing this is what He would have wanted.

Love You Forever, Mom, Dad & family

A taxpayer-funded program that is fiscally efficient, has a high level of success and is providing leading edge technology would generally be widely applauded.

But that is not always the case for the Sterile Insect Release program, which is funded by taxpayers in four Okanagan Valley and Shuswap area regional districts and administered by the Okanagan-Kootenay Insect Sterile Release board.

Following a presenta-

tion about the achievements of the SIR program at Tuesday’s council meeting, some West Kelowna councillors noted they are questioned at times about the area-wide taxation policy to fund the program.

“The taxpayer question we sometimes get is: What is SIR, what good is it to me as a taxpayer and why are we subsidizing the (fruit growing) industry,” said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater.

Allan Patton, vice-chair of the SIR board and a regional board director for Okanagan-Similkameen, said valley-wide taxation

is a key aspect of the program’s success.

Patton said on a funding level, the SIR program has operated without a funding increase for three years, something he said most other government funded programs would have a hard time matching, noting for example that “you can’t say that about the library.”

Patton said the SIR program has also reduced the need for pesticide spraying, which has enhanced the quality of life for all taxpayers, and that backyard residential fruit trees remain an important aspect of preventing an outbreak of the

codling moth.

“To have a system like this in place takes more than what the growers can afford to pay,” added Patton.

Coun. Mike De Jong suggested comparisons of the extent pesticides are used in other areas, such as

by Washington state pome fruit growers, might be useful in helping the pro-SIR program argument.

He noted that new pesticide chemical products have been developed that require a smaller amount of the product dispersed over an orchard.

Patton said pesticide

use data is hard to gather because that statistical information is not always widely available, but he suggested the example of Kootenay growers opting out of the program has been an example that local growers don’t want to follow.

“It’s just a mess down there now, they are back to spraying again,” Patton said.

Patton added the conversion of fruit orchards to grapes has also maxed out in his estimation, as the codling moth primarily infest hard fruits such as

WEST KELOWNA

Brown Road gets council go-ahead CGL to build sports field Barry Gerding EDITOR

West Kelowna council has approved proceeding with the $2,017,917 phase 1 of the Brown Road streets cape capital project.

The streets cape improvements will upgrade the road to the twolane town centre street standard recommended in the Westbank Centre Plan.

The phase 1 will encompass Brown Road from Main Street to Gateway Lane, a stretch of about 400 metres.

The streets cape improvements will include: • formalized on-street parking and bicycle facilities • widened sidewalks with business patio frontage opportunities • increased street trees and landscaping • ornamental street lights with hanging baskets • power service for designated special event

area between Drought and Gosset Roads; • relocation of overhead wiring underground • replacement of sewer and water service infrastructure One change in the original concept design concerned parking, as district staff recommended the Brown Road parking configuration be converted from perpendicular to parallel parking, noting it worked better with the traffic lane configuration and would add four additional on-street parking spots.

Since parallel parking requires less right-of-way width, the revised parking configuration would lead to a larger enhanced pedestrian thoroughfare which would lend itself to better landscaping, street furniture and sidewalk improvements.

“The other issue with perpendicular parking is that backing out of a parking stall meant crossing Brown Road centre line and affecting both direc-

tions of traffic,” said Nancy Henderson, district director of development services.

Parking was an issue for some West Kelowna councillors, with Coun.

David Knowles suggesting he was in favour of the pedestrian friendly additions to the Brown Road plan, saying council should be looking at parking alternatives rather than trying to accommodate greater number of vehicles.

“We need to get people out of their vehicles and walking more,” Knowles said.

Henderson noted that side street parking would still be accessible to Brown Road shoppers.

Coun. Bryden Winsby said while angle parking is an issue of safety beyond more than just ambience and convenience, he doesn’t want downtown West Kelowna to become a difficult place to find parking as he feels is the case with neighbouring Kelowna’s downtown

core.

“Parallel parking is better for providing pedestrian-friendly streetscape features and patio opportunities for businesses,” Henderson reiterated. “There will be angle parking available on the side streets.

“As for Bernard Avenue parking situation,” he said, “it has been recommended we not do what was done for parking there with the rollover street curve to have cars parking on a level with the sidewalk, so we are not asking for that here.”

Mayor Doug Findlater asked if Brown Road residents would incur any costs, such as having a trench dug out to facilitate infrastructure water, sewer or underground wiring connections, to which Henderson replied any home service hook-up costs are part of the project overall cost.

“It’s a lot more involved than I originally thought it would be,” Findlater noted.

The District of West Kelowna has awarded a contract to CGL Contracting Ltd. of $775,461.91 for the Rosewood Sports Field project.

While the district solicited tender bids provincewide for the project, only two bids were submitted, and one bidder, Danric Construction Ltd., withdrew its initial interest in the project.

The Rosewood sports field will be built adjacent to the new Mar Jok Ele-

apples and pears.

“But the grape growers doing the conversion have been running into problems, so I see the conversion from fruit to alcohol (grapes) not being at the level of the past,” Patton said.

Coun. Bryden Winsby suggested that while taxpayer angst about the SIR program often comes up, he doesn’t see a groundswell of opposition to it.

“I think it’s fair to say taxpayers benefit from the ambiance and lifestyle of living in the Okanagan, and the (fruit growing agriculture) industry in the valley is a big part of that,” he said.

Cara Nelson, general manager of the SIR program, told council that the area-wide integrated pest management program directed at the codling moth is the envy of the fruit pest research community.

She said research being learned about the

codling moth is beneficial to all hard fruit growers worldwide, offering the potential for the research to generate revenue as a usable resource for other growers, and the infrastructure in place provides a response mechanism for dealing with other fruit pests that threaten local fruit crops.

“With climate change, we are seeing pests coming into our region that never existed here before and fruit growers, such as the apple maggot, brown marmorated stink bug and apple clearwing moth, are going to be faced with dealing with those issues.

These new pests we haven’t seen before are already being spotted in California and Washingtont” Nelson said.

Nelson said the program operates on a $1.4 million budget, with the sterile moth rearing facility located in Osoyoos.

That amounts, for example, to the individual taxpayer of an assessment of $11.50 for a home

land value of $250,000 in Kelowna, $10.50 in West Kelowna on a land value of $225,000, and $8.50 in Vernon on a land value of $175,000.

Patton added that local fruit growers being recognized as being in an area of low pest prevalence also carries weight when

shipping fruit overseas.

Patton, a Fuji apple grower, said Taiwan placed a ban on imported North America fruit imports last year, which was subsequently lifted for Okanagan growers because of the implementation of the SIR program rather than reliance on

other bidders might submit tenders, but further delays could jeopardize the $400,000 grant was based on the project being completed by March 31, 2015.

Chris Anderson, the district roads and contracts supervisor, said CGL Contracting is a very reputable contractor in the Kelowna/West Kelowna area and was involved with Kelowna’s Bernard Avenue street revitalization program.

Boat thieves’ play leads to arrest A distress signal resulted in charges for four West Kelowna males early Monday morning.

On July 8, at around 3:45 a.m., a Peachland resident spotted two signal flares fired from a point off shore of Beach Avenue.

The concerned resident called RCMP who then contacted Peachland Fire/Rescue. With the resident’s help, West

SIR makes difference to international sales SIR from A1

mentary School, scheduled to open in September 2014.

The provincial community recreation program had also committed a $400,000 grant towards the cost of the $1,024,141 project.

The new sports field will be bordered by McDougall Road and Rosewood Drive.

Council raised some questions Tuesday about the possibility of retendering the project to see if

pesticide use.

“That is a big importance in terms of economics to have that rating,” he said, citing the Taiwan example.

“Their people came here to see what we were doing, and allowed the ban to be lifted for our fruit.”

Kelowna RCMP directed the Fire/Rescue craft, working in darkness, on a search pattern where they eventually located a stranded ski boat containing four intoxicated males on board.

The boat had a tow rope wound around the prop and was unable to move. As the rescue craft towed the vessel to shore in Peachland, RCMP were advised to remain due to the male’s suspicious behaviour.

Police spoke with the males, and it soon became clear that none of them owned the boat and it was discovered that the boat had been stolen from a slip at a West Kelowna marina. Also located were a number of items pilfered from other boats.

The four males aged 20, 22, 23 and 24, were arrested and then released on a promise to appear with a recommended charge of possession of stolen property over $5,000, and will appear in court at a later date.

Police urge boat owners to treat their boats as they would their vehicles by doing the following: 1. Do not hide the key on board the boat. There is no such thing as a “secret hiding spot” to a determined thief 2. Secure or remove any items from the boat that you do not want stolen 3. Ensure your boat is registered so that police can trace it to you if it is stolen.
