A group of local residents returned from their day-long boating trip on a lake in the Thompson Okanagan region laughing, joking around and generally enjoying each other’s company. The group was allegedly seen boating, swimming and water-skiing on the lake throughout the day. Onlookers reported that the entire group was wearing Transport Canada approved life jackets. The life jackets appeared securely fastened at all times. “Looked like they were having a great time,” said boat launch supervisor Bill Donnelly. “I heard a lot of laughter. And it was laughing with, not laughing at, you know?” Donnelly con rmed the group was wearing life jackets for the entire day. “Yup, they put ’em on soon as they were on the boat,”

THE DAILY COMMUTE

Commuter ignores ringing cellphone; friend forced to wait 12:28 for return call

Friend says: “Call me back when you get this message.” Tanya Kooner PREVENTABLE.CA

A Westbank man deliberately chose to ignore his ringing cellphone in the middle of his afternoon commute yesterday. The incident occurred in the eastbound curb lane near the intersection of Highway 97 and Bartley Road at 5:23pm. “It all happened so fast,” driver Tom Leggett said. “I mean . . . it rang four times. Maybe it was ve. I don’t know. I started to reach for it – I guess you just go into automatic, you know? You don’t have time to think about it. You just react.” “I’m not going to lie to you – I was going to answer it.” But then Leggett had a

change of heart. “I don’t know what it was – I just said to myself, whoever it is, they can wait,” he said. “I mean, I’m driving. Trafc is kinda nuts. I should keep my mind on the road and concentrate on what I’m doing. That’s what voicemail is for, right?” The decision turned out to be a fateful one for Leggett’s friend Mike Henrickson, who was forced to wait an agonizing twelve minutes and 28 seconds longer for Leggett to get home before getting in touch. “Actually, it wasn’t agonizing at all,” Henrickson said deantly. “It was only – what – twelve minutes or so. I mean, he was driving – I totally get it. I left a voicemail message. He called me back when he got home. It wasn’t a big deal.”

Leggett con rmed the decision to let his cellphone go to voicemail made absolutely no difference to his Friday-night plans, nor to his social life in general. “Yeah, me and Mikey hooked up after dinner,” Leggett said. “We watched the game together – it didn’t seem like it was a big deal for him. He didn’t even mention it.” When asked about how he felt about playing second ddle to his friend’s safety, Henrickson was evasive and combative. “Listen, I mean, honestly; I don’t know why you guys are interviewing me,” Henrickson said. “Really, it was no big deal. Now leave me alone.” Subsequent phone calls and voicemail messages to Henrickson’s cellphone were not returned.

Leggett’s cellphone sits abandoned and, dare we say, a little dejected on the passenger seat.

Son holds ladder for Dad; complains Dr. Ian Pike job contravenes allowance agreement

Father defends characterbuilding effort. Lee Abbott PREVENTABLE.CA

A Kelowna pre-teen’s busy social schedule was thrown into chaos when he was forced to hold a ladder for his father on Saturday morning. The incident was sparked by an attempt to clean the gutters on the family home. “I’ve been meaning to clean the gutters for a couple months now,” the father said. “I guess I could have done it myself. But it’s pretty high up there – I mean, what if the ladder slipped?” “This is, like, totally lame,” the son complained. “Tommy and Jimmy were going to the mall – I couldn’t go with them be-

cause I was stuck here. Helping Dad.” “I mean, I’m not even getting paid for this,” the son continued. “It’s like, totally not even part of my allowance. It’s like child labour or something!” The father ignored his son’s calls for fair and equitable compensation. “Look, you use a ladder, you need to stay safe. You need someone to hold it on the bottom. It’s as simple as that,” he said. “Besides, helping your old man builds character.” When asked to conrm whether his character had in fact been built by the 17 minutes of unpaid labour, the son accused the father of sidestepping the issue. “You’re kidding me, right?” he said while scowling and putting sunglasses on.

Kelowna pre-teen re-creates “lame” saturday morning.

When we use the word “accident,” what do we really mean? The word accident suggests an event that just “happens.” Something out of our control. Something there was nothing we could do about. It was just one of those things. That’s just not true. In fact, most of the injuries that happen in B.C. aren’t really “accidents” at all. They’re predictable and preventable. Most of the time, we can stop such injuries from happening just by

thinking twice about what we’re doing, and by asking ourselves whether we should take appropriate precautions before we do. Now, I’m not suggesting we should be scared to leave the house in the morning. Or that we should all walk around wrapped in bubblewrap. That’s no way to live. All I’m saying is that we need to change our attitude when it comes to preventable injuries. This whole

A previous Premier delivers flood protection relief threat led to UBCO stabbing ▼ MCDOUGALL CREEK

Barry Gerding EDITOR

Cheryl Wierda

CONTRIBUTOR

A young man who stabbed a fellow student at UBC Okanagan, had been threatened two days before a brawl broke out on the university campus and was carrying a knife to protect himself, says his lawyer. However, the person Jai Deep Kohri stabbed was a friend of the man who had previously threatened him and he is now faced with a community jail sentence after admitting to committing assault with a weapon. On Sept. 9, 2011, the court heard during Kohri’s sentencing hearing Friday, there was a party on the university campus, and at one point in the night, two groups of young men clashed. Around midnight, the two groups—which included a bully Kohri said threatened and punched him in the university cafeteria for no apparent reason two days earlier—met up again on a university street and some pushing and shoving took place. Kohri, then 18, used a knife during the melee, leaving one man with a significant gash on his thigh and a wound to his left forearm. The wounds have had long-lasting impacts on the victim and have affected his ability to pursue his education, said Judge Brad Chapman. Despite the fear that led to the actions, Kohri knows what he did was wrong and admitted his guilt immediately, said defence lawyer Marty Johnson. The delay in getting to sentencing came from prosecutors taking the time to sort out the confusion of what actually happened that night. “I realize what I did was totally wrong and inappropriate,” an emotional Kohri told the judge. “I now know how important it is to make good choices.” Actions that last just a second, he said, can have “lasting effects.” And while Kohri “regrets and feels disgust” about his actions nearly two years ago, they “cannot be condoned,” said Chapman. He said a message needed to be sent to others that the repercussions for using a knife at a fight are “significant.” “A jail sentence is the appropriate kind of sentence in this situation,” said Chapman. However, he was satisfied that Kohri, who is now enrolled at University of Victoria and studying to be a dentist, won’t endanger the safety of the community See Stabbing A8

Premier Christy Clark has delivered on one of her Westside-Kelowna riding byelection campaign promises. Standing at a podium under a giant willow tree Monday afternoon on the orchard property of Barbara and Ken Hart on Hitchens Road, Clark announced funding for a flood mitigation project for McDougall Creek. One year ago, the spot where Clark was standing was under a foot of water as the creek jumped its banks. Six homes on Hitchens Road and Jennens Road were placed on evacation order, desperately sandbagging their properties to hold off the rising creek. Barbara Hart said the damage to their home was minimal compared to some of their neighbours, but the roar of the creek was not a pleasant sound for anyone to hear. “We were constantly waking up throughout the nights checking to see where the water level was at,” she recalled. Jim Hart said they have lived for 18 years with the angst of how the creek will react with the snow melt every spring. “The premier made a promise to us about fixing the creek during the campaign, and she came through. Bang. That’s just fantastic,” Hart said. Hart also extended

Drinking in front of the RCMP detachment results in a fine

Inaugural tattoo show makes its mark in the Okanagan

Two summer workers have been fined after chugging beer in front of the Kelowna RCMP detachment. The men, one from Ontario and the other from New Zealand, were sharing a six pack of beer and posing for pictures by the RCMP sign in front of the Doyle Avenue detachment. The behaviour offended citizens who were coming and going from the detachment; complaints were made to the RCMP. An officer spoke to the pair, who pled ignorance regarding laws pertaining to the consumption of alcohol in public in Kelowna.

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

Mike Sperling looked relatively relaxed as Nick Matovich tattooed the back of his right leg Saturday at the 2013 Okanagan Tattoo Show. Although Sperling’s body already has “about 20” tattoos on it, he admitted his newest ink was causing him a bit of pain. “It pretty much sucks every time, man,” Sperling responded when asked if he’s gotten used to the feeling yet. But for Sperling, as well as the hundreds of others who visited the tattoo convention over the weekend, the short-term pain is well worth it. Rich Handford, owner of Kapala Tattoo in Winnipeg, said his body might “have room for one more tattoo.” Handford got his feet wet in the tattooing industry 14 years ago after realizing a brainless job wasn’t offering him much fulfillment. “I met some other tattoo artists who liked my work and offered me the opportunity,” said Handford. Since then he has grown as an artist and created a portfolio of body art that ranges from detailed personal portraits of daughters and mothers to intricate designs of skulls, snakes, hawks and even Frankenstein. Handford explained while every image he creates may not have a particular meaning for him, it is likely something of great importance for the person he is tattooing. “Imagery is powerful; the meaning behind it is subjective. “The most mundane symbol can have a tremendous amount of meaning for someone.” For Handford, the 2013 Okanagan Tattoo Show was an opportunity to network, keep upto-date on current products and techniques and be inspired by some of the artists from other shops, working around him in Parkinson Recreation Centre. Jeff Nowatzki, one of the event’s organizers, said this past weekend’s convention featured a few of the top 10 tattoo artists in Canada.

Const. Kris Clark said they changed their tune when asked if it was legal in their own home towns. The men were directed to pour out their remaining beer and were served violation tickets for consuming alcohol in public, under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act. The ticket carries a $230 fine. “We continually remind the public, especially during the summer months, our members will ticket those who commit offences under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act, whether it happens on the beach, on the street or even in front of the RCMP detachment,” said Clark.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE STIGMA… TATTOOS ARE FOR BAD, CRIMINAL PEOPLE. IT’S OPEN FOR EVERYONE, WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE IT A COMMUNITY EVENT. Jeff Nowatzki Okanagan Tattoo Show organizer

Although ink appointments with the top artists booked up quickly, Nowatzki said visitors were given the opportunity to approach various booths, share their ideas with the artists and get their tattoos scheduled for some point during the weekend. But, Nowatzki noted, the inaugural event was about more than just tattoos. “We decided: Let’s make it about art, let’s make it about culture, let’s make it about more than just ink,” said Nowatzki. He added the goal was to make the show something families could bring their kids to. “It’s not about the stigma…tattoos are for bad, criminal people. It’s open for everyone, we really wanted to make it a community event.” To accommodate the

family aspect, the convention raised money for KidSport Canada. In return, the charity hosted children’s activities in the field behind Parkinson Recreation Centre Saturday and Sunday. But along with all the kid-friendly entertainment and games, the event also squeezed in entertainment geared toward adults on the main stage. With a burlesque show, a pin up contest and a bikini contest also on the entertainment line-up, Nowatzki admitted it was

a challenge to make the event appeal to all demographics. “It’s been really good to see lots of families.” Nowatzki and the other organizers are determined to make the Okanagan Tattoo Show an annual event. “The plan is to expand. We want to get a bit more variety, a bit more international flavour. And we’ll see if we can get a few bigger name artists.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Hospital parking debated

Tuesday, July 30, 2013 Capital NewsC

NEWS

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Two big bureaucracies will sit down for a heartto-heart before the city moves forward with any

plans or studies on how development around the hospital will proceed. Following news the Interior Health Authority needs to expand outside the bounds of the hospi-

tal campus in order to accommodate parking, Kelowna city council decided its staff should take a cautious approach and sit down with the health authority to find out what other surprises lie in wait. “Really, we are responding to Interior Health in a number of

ways. Maybe, before we go ahead a do a study, the city should sit down with IH and see what their future plans are,” said Coun. Robert Hobson as a lengthy debate got underway Monday afternoon. A bid to convert three lots on Royal Avenue into a parking lot goes to pub-

lic hearing Tuesday night. The hearing is expected to be highly contentious as the surrounding neighbourhood is a carefully protected heritage zone and some homeowners say they now feel they can neither sell nor rent their properties as a result, council heard.

The city’s staff suggested a plan or study of the issue to see how other cities have dealt with similar problems. However, city councillors were unsure the geographical boundaries included in the study parameters really helped an already contentious situation.

The loss of Ironman has strengthened the City of Kelowna’s resolve to compete for and land biglabel events with top-tier potential as tourist draws. Monday afternoon, city councillors approved guidelines for developing a new fund to give Kelowna a competitive bite when the municipality steps up to bid on festivals and events against areas where major incentives are already on the table. “The environment is changing, municipalities are targeting events because of all of the positive benefits they bring in,” said Don Back-

In discussing the matter, council noted some areas even pouring major dollars into their bids provincially in a spend-money-to-makemoney approach similar to the tax breaks and financial incentives offered to the entertainment industry internationally. “I think we have to step up to the plate and, even if we’re not Saskatchewan, really plow the money into these things,” said Coun. Maxine DeHart after hearing how proactive that prairie province is in its bid system. In order to qualify for the new grant cash pots, events will need to

have a broad appeal across demographics, be high quality and environmentally and financially sustainable, and elevate the profile of the community. The city will be offering $25,000 to off-set the cost of city services like street sweeping, policing and park rentals. There will also be a pot of up to $25,000 available for strategic events, those which have multiple components and are either new or significant to the city. The grants are a pilot project that start this August. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

If you think serious injuries just “happen,” have a word with yourself. B

ecause they don’t. Often, they’re the direct result of choices we make—or choices we don’t make.

In fact, preventable injuries are the leading cause of death for British Columbians between the ages of one and 44, and claim the lives of more children in the province than all other causes combined.

We want to get you thinking about risk and consequences. Every day, more than 1,100 British Columbians are injured seriously enough by predictable and preventable injuries to

require medical attention. Of these, four die, 90 are hospitalized and some 26 are left partially or totally disabled. These injuries devastate lives. They also place an enormous burden on our health care system: at over $4 billion a year, the care and rehabilitation of victims of preventable injuries is one of the most significant costs to our province. —It’s time for this to change—

Who we are The Community Against Preventable Injuries Association (Preventable) is a community of companies, organizations and individuals that have come together to address this ongoing tragedy, and the incredible

physical, emotional and financial toll it takes on our province. We are a registered non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors that represents organizations including TELUS, Pacific Blue Cross, London Drugs, Justice Institute of BC, WorkSafeBC and the BC Ministry of Labour. Our work is made possible through the financial and in-kind support of over 80 companies and organizations.

What we’re doing We’ve invested considerable resources to develop a provincewide, multi-year strategy. Guided by research and best practices, we’ve developed an approach that we hope will help British Columbians connect the dots between their current attitudes and their current behaviour; between their understanding of the inherent risks and the burden of preventable injuries in the province.

McDougall Creek is an area wit high-hazard flood potential that has experienced several floods in recent years.

Since 2012, the province has allocated more than $106,000 for recovery funding for families in West Kelowna. Clark said temporary solutions to the creek containment issue would not provide an ideal longterm solution. “Sooner or later, just like we do with our own homes deciding whether you should patch a hole in the roof or replace the roof, at some point it is better to fix the problem permanently,” Clark said. Mayor Doug Findlater said the provincial contribution to the creek mitigation project represents about a 1.5 per cent tax savings to district residents. “That is a pretty substantial grant we are receiving for this project,”

Findlater said he was glad to see the efforts of Stewart and district council for lobby for provincial support pay off. “I have never had to evacuate my home because of a flood but I can appreciate the stress that would go along with that,” Findlater said. “I have had to deal with the forest fire evacuation for the Glenrosa and Terrace Mountain fires… it just doesn’t seem like we can enjoy the summers here like we used to (because of ongoing flooding and fire concerns).” With the funding made available for mitigation of McDougall Creek, Findlater said the project will go to tender shortly, with the work to be com-

Asked if additional funding for flooding issues will be addressed for Mission Creek, Clark said that will depend on how it ranks with the province’s long-term mitigation terms of reference. “(Flooding) is a problem for communities all across the province, but in this era of fiscal restraint, we are committed to spending more money than what taxpayers send us.” Clark said. bgerding @kelownacapnews.com

Clematis earns its ‘Queen of the Vines’ nickname

here is no question the clematis comes by its nick name quite honestly: Queen of the Vines. I have to say I have never owned one of these beauties but that is about to change very quickly. The next renovation/upgrade I am going to do is my backyard and I have reserved two spots where clematis will fit the bill. Now the challenge is to choose one out of literally dozens of varieties available to us. Older proven varieties such as Huldine, Nelly Moser, Ville de Lyon, Ernest Markham, Duchess of Edinburgh and of course Jackmanii are always a good bet. I grew up in the industry selling these and many other varieties and Jackmanii was by far the biggest seller. This most popular variety was introduced way back in 1862 by nurseryman George Jackman, and was the first of the modern large-flowered hybrid clematises for gardens. What a legacy when a person can introduce a cultivar of a plant that stands the test of time for more than 150 years and is still the most popular clematis sold today. Thousands of cultivars have been introduced since then and Jackmanii still reigns king, er I mean

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett queen. Having said that, I think one of my choices will be Jackmanii out of sheer respect. Now what will be the other? I saw a new variety this spring at Bylands called Ramona and I can’t recall seeing a clematis with such huge red flowers. The varieties we used to call red were actually more a wine colour than red. Ramona is a true red. Anyway, I have a year or so to make my clematis decisions as I’m taking my time with the backyard reno. The clematis family of vines is a huge one and one of the distinctions between the many varieties is the pruning process. There are three groups each with its own pruning techniques. Group A blooms on older wood from the previous season’s growth therefore with this group you just tidy and prune back the vine no later than June each year and the resulting new growth will bloom the following

spring. Group B is actual-

ly split into B1 and B2 types. Group B1 are the varieties that flower on wood that has been hardened by the previous season’s growth. Normal blooming patterns for this group consist of a heavy flush of flowers in May - June on the previous season’s growth followed by a second smaller flush of blooms in September on the current season’s growth. Group B (2) are the varieties that bloom simultaneously on

last year’s growth and the current season’s growth. For both a light pruning in February works well and every second season a hard pruning such as is done with Group C should be done to re-new the vine. Group C is simple. Just prune hard each early spring to 10 cm from the ground and you are good to go. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk

Fire damaged Kalamoir Park re-opens to all The northwest section of Kalamoir Regional Park, that has been closed since a grassfire burned through the area last Saturday night, is open once again. Since Tuesday night, when West Kelowna Fire Rescue turned control of the area back to the Regional District of the Central Okanagan, Regional Parks workers have made repairs to the Mike Passmore trail which passes through the 0.6-hectare area that was damaged by the quickly spreading grassfire. As well, potential hazards have been removed and fire guards have been shored up. The regional district thanks residents and other visitors to the 27-hectare waterfront park for staying out of this area while repairs were made. The fire hazard in the Central Okanagan is now rated extreme. Everyone is reminded that smoking, campfires or fires of any kind are not allowed in any regional park. Violators could be ticketed and receive a fine of $100 in addition to causing a serious fire.

If you see a wildfire call *5555 on your cell. Nearly half of all wildfires are preventable. Please, be responsible in our forests.

The smartphone addiction

hey’re called smartphones, but the way some people use them is anything but smart—giving us all legitimate cause for concern about public safety. A new poll that shows that 64 per cent of adults in B.C. own a smartphone also reveals, more disturbingly, that about 18 per cent of those who do consider themselves “strongly addicted to the device.” Predictably, the majority who placed themselves in that particular category describe

their addiction as ‘manageable.’ It’s a rare addict, after all, who acknowledges his or her addiction—whatever it is—is galloping out of control. That all changes, of course, when the addict is faced with incontrovertible evidence – usually some severe crisis or tragedy—that calls for an immediate change in behaviour. The question is, should we, as a society, be expected to pay the price of such a crisis or tragedy? Particularly when it’s something like an accident

caused by driving without due care and attention? Smartphones offer very practical uses in terms of communication, particularly in emergencies, that have, so far, merely scratched the surface of their potential. But it’s no news they also function as a distraction. According to the recent poll, those who who describe themselves as addicted estimate they spend an average of 2.5 of their waking hours staring at their diminutive keypads and screens.

NDP’s soul searching expedition is going nowhere

.C. NDP president Moe Sihota says an external review of the party’s performance in the May election will “look very much at the DNA of the NDP.” Early signs are not encouraging. Start with the five-member panel announced to conduct the review. The required “labour” representation is in the person of Cindy Oliver, president of the union representing college and university instructors, and Andy Ross, ex-president of COPE 378, which represents BC Hydro em-

ployees among others. Another appointee is NDP MP Jinny Sims, a former president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. If the party wants Tom to further solidify Fletcher its image as a lobby group for pension-subsidized government unions, it’s off to a great start. The terms of reference defy parody. In addition to unions, the panel required “more than one woman.” A sub-committee may be struck, if it has representation from “youth, women, labour, visible minority, LG-

VICTORIA VIEWS

BTQ (lesbian, gay, bisesexual, transgendered, questioning).” I presume the party’s lengthy anti-harassment policy will be read out to begin all meetings. Once they finally get down to business, the list of election campaign details they must examine is long. In addition to that, they must review “stakeholder relations including community leaders, business, social movement, ethnic communities, environmental movement, affiliated unions and the labour movement.” One of the excuses offered by leader Adrian Dix for the party’s defeat was the loss of 40,000 jobs in the B.C. forest industry. The suggestion

is that those people left for Alberta, and if they were still here, they would have voted NDP. That presumed solidarity has never existed in the private sector, and in fact the highest-paid union workers have good reason to vote for lower taxes. To confirm B.C. and Canada’s “progressive” tax system, all they have to do is look at their pay stubs. The mandate for this review mentions not one actual public policy issue. Here’s one the committee might kick around. Having lost the 2009 election campaigning against the carbon tax, the NDP is now calling for it to be increased and extended to greenhouse

gases produced by industrial process emissions. A simple example is a cement kiln, which burns fuel to reach the temperature at which the components are partially burned and cement is produced. Cement manufacturers pay carbon tax on the fuel, whether it’s natural gas or shredded tires, but not on the process. B.C. cement makers are already pleading for relief, because the fuel-intensive process puts them at a price disadvantage with U.S. and Chinese producers. Further unilateral tax action by

Plenty of room for dogs along the water

To the editor: I have noted, with interest, that there have been several letters lately that speak to the dog beach in West Kelowna. As a resident of West Kelowna for a number of years, I would like to add my comments in support. We moved to the Okanagan from Ontario along with our black Labrador some years ago, and I was very disappointed in the reaction that I saw from a small group of people that treated us like second class citizens because we had a dog—who by the way was very well behaved, never unattended and never was off our property without us. That same group of people never hesitated to throw their cigarette butts on the ground and leave their empty coffee cups behind at the beach, which incidentally I would pick up. One lady told me that “we” don’t like it if we hear a dog bark. Really?

Our dog passed away last summer but we are getting another one shortly. Like the people that have written in, I too look forward to exercising my dog, under supervision, down at the lake. I still plan on picking up after my dog and ensuring that it does not bother anyone. However, if we are now relegated to a tiny piece of muddy beach, I would like to understand how that can happen. Dog owners add to the economy, pay our taxes for many utilities that, as seniors, we don’t use and do so happily for the privilege of living here. As Okanagan Lake is a large one, surely there are other areas that walkers and runners can use that will isolate them from meeting up with a dog. I see constantly that the Okanagan tries to ensure that all residents enjoy the lovely scenery and amenities equally.

Why then are dog lovers treated differently? What about the speeding drivers? What about the drivers that are on their phone and texting? What about the grow ops and the vandalism that happens? I don’t understand why dogs would get so much attention. For many of us, our children have long gone and our dogs are part of the family— they actually help us stay healthy by giving us a reason to get out and go for a walk. There is plenty of room for everyone. Dog owners who offend the rules should be dealt with accordingly and you would get the support of all responsible dog owners, of which there are many, for taking such action. I would very much appreciate receiving an explanation of the logic behind the changes to the dog beach. Donna Kirisits, West Kelowna

▼ KGH PARKING EXPANSION

Kelowna’s heritage continues to erode

To the editor: It is important to evaluate parking needs as Kelowna General Hospital expands. However, I do not agree with adding more parking and taking away residential in the Heritage Conservation area. The solution is having a valet service at the emergency entrance

with posted rates. It would not matter if parking is a number of blocks away. Interior Health owns land across from Cottonwoods which could be designed for excess parking. Staff parking is also so limited that using a valet would provide convenience and added safety for those who are on late

shifts. Adding these proposed parking lots is an “interim fix” and there will never be enough parking as KGH expands. The last thing that someone worries about when they go to emergency is: Where can I park? Since transit runs right outside the door of the hospital, an employee transit agreement should

Tougher penalties for repeat offenders would help police

To the editor: I agree with Jennifer Smith’s column of July 26 regarding the latest crime statistics for Kelowna. The police and politicians want to blame anybody but themselves. On any given day you can see the following happen without consequence: • Cars travelling over 90 km/h down Benvoulin Road • Motorcycles running straight pipes and riders with beanie helmets • Boats running under Bennett Bridge at full

speed. While all this goes on, you can also see 20 to 30 police cars sitting idle on Doyle Avenue. Jennifer is quite right about reporting a theft. The RCMP clerk will give you a file number so you can make a claim. No officer will ever attend. I would think that at least getting some fingerprints would help build a case history against the chronic offenders. I’m sure it is very frustrating for police to make an arrest after working for

months to provide the extensive evidence needed, only to have the crook back on the street in three months. That issue falls squarely in the lap of our happy little tribe of Liberals who should bring in a law with mandated minimum sentences for repeat offenders. I urge everyone to contact their MLA to work on this during the next 10 months they have off after sitting in the legislature for two weeks. Bruce Stevenson, Kelowna

also be a requirement just as the UBC Okanagan student pass is. Parking lots in place of homes are not the answer. History in Kelowna is being eroded one lot at a time and that is very disappointing! Sharon Shepherd, Kelowna

Unions still controlling the NDP Express yourself

Fletcher from A10

B.C. would only further increase imports, and potentially push B.C. firms out of business. Goodbye unionized private sector jobs. Dix’s last foray in question period before the summer legislature session adjourned was a demand for the government to order BC Ferries to build its next three ships in B.C. Leave aside the NDP’s uncritical zeal for state control, and their ill-fated experiment with aluminum fast ferries. The most likely bidder for this work is Seaspan, with shipyards in Esquimalt and

North Vancouver. Seaspan is hiring almost 2,000 people to build ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and Coast Guard. It will be flat out to get that done, and the company president can’t yet say if it has the capacity and skilled labour to bid on BC Ferries ships too. Seaspan has to operate in the real world of limited resources. So does the NDP, but it’s not clear if they can find a way out of their thicket of special interests and stale economic notions.

Quails’ Gate Winery has hired Nikki Callaway as its new winemaker. Callaway is already well known in the B.C. wine industry, and she brings with her a wealth of experience gained working in vineyards around the world, including South Africa and France. A Canadian by birth, Callaway spent nearly a decade living in Dubai, UAE before returning to Canada for her formal education. She successfully completed her bachelor’s degree in biology at the University of Victoria in 2004, then headed to Europe to learn winemaking from the ground up. “Her spirit of collaboration and vision for the future of Quails’ Gate are a perfect match for our longterm plans,” said Quails’ Gate CEO Tony Stewart.

HOPE AIR ASSISTED

The Overwaitea Food Group, including seven stores in Kelowna and two in Victoria raised, together with their customers, more than $1,000 for Hope Air’s mission of Getting Canadians to Getting Better! Hope Air is a nation-wide charity that arranges free flights to get low-income Canadians to specialized health care that does not exist in their local community. Hope Air serves people of all ages, with all illnesses, from all across Canada. Since January of this year, Hope Air provided hundreds of free flights to B.C. residents who needed to access healthcare far from home. The Overwaitea Food Group customers donate their More Rewards points and the stores match them and so far this partnership has helped us raise funds for about five additional flights. The local stores that are currently participating in this partnership are the Cooper’s Foods in Winfield, Rutland and Glenmore in Kelowna; Save-on-Foods in Kelowna and Westbank, and Urban Fare in Kelowna. Peter Taillon, manager of the Save-on-Foods store on Lakeside Road in Kelowna, said, “We’re thrilled to be able to partner with such an important cause. “Helping those in and outside of our community is such a rewarding experience, and we think that what Hope Air is able to do for those in need is absolutely incredible.

Mission dynamic attracts new drug store Barry Gerding EDITOR

The Shoppers Drug Mart is highly visible with now 11 pharmacy store locations in Kelowna and West Kelowna. But the popular drug store has made a new entry into the Mission area of Kelowna with the grand opening last weekend of a new store on Lakeshore Road, the former site of the tourist landmark Pandosy Inn. Holly Sumner, the pharmacist franchise owner of the Mission store and the nearby Shoppers Simply Pharmacy prescription dispensary, said Shoppers locations literally went from five to 11 overnight earlier this year when the parent company bought out the Paragon Pharmacy outlets. “It is common to see Shoppers stores in Vancouver and Toronto everywhere you go because they are neighbourhood stores that offer a convenient destination point for health, beauty and some grocery needs, and each store is individually owned by the pharmacist,” Sumner said.

She is determined to find a way to ensure all households, especially those in small communities, receive safe drinking water.

“We need to prevent another Walkerton,” Islam said. “The staff at Walkerton was not well trained and that’s often the case in small municipalities. “We are looking for a way to ensure water quality along the entire distribution network is healthy without putting a strain on a municipality’s technology or its limited human resources.” Indeed, in Walkerton seven people died, thou-

sands became ill, and two Walkerton Public Utilities Commission employees were prosecuted on criminal charges. Chlorination, Islam explains, is needed to keep drinking water safe. But once it is chlorinated, naturally-occurring organic materials in the water react with the chlorine and produce chem-

With the Okanagan’s mpopulation expected to oswell about 45 per cent by 2036 to more than 260,000, and as the need gfor summer time water eincreases—for food, for -fish, for firefighting and -more—it’s important that we learn to be more WaterWise. By following some simple tips, you’ll get the most from the water you use. The next time you turn on the hose or sprinkler, consider these helpful tips to Make Water Work. • Put water on the night shift Water during the coolest part of the day to prevent evaporation. A good rule of thumb is between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. • Water plants, not pavement. Water where it’s needed. It should sprinkle your lawn or garden, not the house, sidewalk, driveway or street. Make water work efficiently and save time, money, and water. • Don’t mow. Let it grow. Leave grass five to eight centimetres tall (two to three inches). Water stays longer when grass is longer. Leaving your grass longer slows evaporation from the soil, making it work more effectively. • One inch a week will do. Most lawns need just 2.5 cm (one inch) of water per week—about the

depth of a tuna can. Watering deeply and less often promotes deep, healthy root growth. If you’re watering deeply and not seeing the results the problem may be inadequate topsoil. Try top dressing with half an inch of compost, then over-seeding for a thick vigorous lawn. • Pair water with plants suitable to our dry climate. Okanagan water works best when paired with plants suitable to our dry climate—drought-tolerant turf, and native and low-water variety plants. • Reduce and reuse your water. Look around the house for sources of water that don’t just come out of your tap. For example, collect rainwater. Or, find ways to reuse water. Collect it from your shower or bath in a bucket and reuse it instead of letting it run down the drain. Save your cooking water, from boiling pasta, eggs or vegetables, cool, and use later on your plants. By taking small steps to conserve our water, we are helping ensure a sustainable supply. Even tiny changes can add up to thousands of litres in water savings each year. Learn more at www. makewaterwork.ca, then “Take the Pledge”

Water quality management benefit of research project Grant from A14 icals called disinfection byproducts (DBPs). High levels of DBPs in drinking water have been associated with health risks such as cancer and reproductive disorders. Finding the correct balance between microbial and chemical water quality is essential, and Islam says quite often water quality diminishes the further it gets from the chlorination source. She is looking at the idea of booster chlorination stations along water distribution networks. Essentially, while a house near a water supply may have the correct amount of chlorine, a house further away—where water travels a greater distance in pipelines—might need more. But if more chlorine is added to the main water supply, the DBPs may become dangerously high for homes closest to the water supply. That’s why Islam suggests booster chlorination at specific places along the water supply route. “The research is expected to be beneficial for smaller to medium communities such as the First Nations communities, where they do experience frequent boil-water advisories and have limited resources to manage the overall water quality,” Islam said. Islam’s research on DBPs could be pivotal in helping small communities manage their drinking water quality in the distribution networks.

For many, the shift from comLeading and collaborating— mand and control raises a continuing wow, what a concept. As companies

and organizations are urged to move to more agile, collaborative models, so too have they begun involving a variety of internal and external stakeholder in their overall strategies. Many forward-thinking organizations and the folks at the helm are taking into account how they affect the environment, communities and employees, as well as each other. When leaders use collaboration to plan, gain alignment and execute skillfully, they create value for all stakeholders within their sphere of influence. So, how do we set the bar for all to build collaborative capability and capacity? The key, it seems, lies in aligning our organization’s (whatever it be corporate, social, educational et al) direction, commitment and capability to create shared responsibility for the success of the organization. (Note: The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society has recently completed an outstanding collaborative leadership process through the creation of a non-profit entrepreneurial corporate structure of close to 28 people led by a board,various chairs, a plethora of committees. And our team accomplished this with little pain and much joy thanks to the col-

laborative leadership of each member of the team.) A sense of direction comes from a clear understanding of the strategic moment faced by the organization itself. What is the gap between where the company or organization is and where it aspires to be? What’s required to bridge that gap? Who could be involved in bridging that gap? After establishing a sense of direction, one must focus on practices that invite enrolment in the change and commitment to its success. Now, please embrace this thought—the invitation extends beyond traditional organizational boundaries to include other business and social relationships and the broader community and region with its mesmerizing cadre of like or similar organizations. This bias for inclusion and involvement is at the very heart of the “ collaborative attitude” shared by high purpose companies and organizations. OK then, direction says what we’ll do. Commitment says why we’ll do it. Collaborative organizations build their capacity and capability in working effectively together unselfishly and with a common sense of community purpose. No individual organizational nor

scorecard is necessary. What fun we could have with unbelievable outcomes if we operated in a constant cycle of sharing information, clarifying understanding, reaching agreements and implementing decisions. The collaborative leadership and its true power perhaps with its most striking commonality lies just beneath the surface, between an original vision and a desired outcome. All of us, in our individual and joint efforts, can tap the creativity in our minds and, combined with the power of collaboration—invent something original. We can leap into the void, exercise belief in our visions together, learn to trust each other and effectively engaging the relevant stakeholders, remain unafraid of the unknown. As more entrepreneurial companies and organizations master these skills, the collaborative behaviours of each will become the model for success in the society around us. Connecting stakeholders and practicing optimum involvement yields surprising and unbelievably satisfying results. Joel Young is founder of Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

NEWS

Losing our job: If one door closes another will open up N o one wants to be told their employment is being terminated. It is not a feelgood message even if you didn’t love the job or the employer. An emotionally confusing response to this kind of experience is natural. I won’t talk here about how unpleasant it is to find yourself out of work unexpectedly. Instead, I want to focus on the opportunities that being in a state of professional transition offers.

WORK LIFE

Laurie Mills With the right effort and attitude anyone can create significant and positive changes in his or her life. To realize the upside of being between jobs, I recommend four stages of adapting for the future— Release, Reflect, Refocus

and Re-entry. Mindfully navigating these key stages can keep you on track and boost your self confidence during a period when it is especially fragile. The first phase, Release, is about letting go of the past, specifically the job itself, the employer or a particular manager/ work group. In my career coaching experience, I have found many people are still so emotionally attached to their last employer they can’t even consider what other options might be

end neck &back pain

available to them. They need time to de-program themselves from their last employment situation. Often people don’t realize they’re stuck until it is pointed out to them. If this sounds like you, be assured that with awareness this releasing phase can happen quickly. It requires conscious effort to accept what has happened, process the emotions that come up and then release any lingering negativity around that so you can move on. Part of the process of

letting go in a healthy way also involves Reflection. This stage is a wonderful opportunity to look back on your work experience to explore both the highlights and the low points. In doing this kind of exercise, you can often see where there may have been a mismatch between yourself and your last job. Then it is a matter of finding out why and what would be better next time. In many ways, the Reflection stage is the most crucial for designing a brighter future. An honest self asADVERTISING FEATURE

sessment of natural talents, knowledge, learned skills and core values can provide key data needed to identify which path to take going forward. It is an empowering exercise when it is fully embraced. It can be as simple as reframing work experience as specific achievements or as complex as delving into personality assessments to help identify behavioural patterns, career interests and aptitudes. With the groundwork laid in the first two stages, you will be in a much better position to Refocus on what is next. The saying “you can never go back” is fitting here. Yes, of course you can go back, but things will never be the same because you have changed. Now you have given yourself more options, to try a different career path, to choose a more compatible work setting, to get further education and training, etc. And have a clearer idea about how your work life could be better going forward. The Refocus stage naturally includes a phase of getting re-energized. After you have thoroughly considered where you’ve come from and determined where you want to go next, finding the motivation to make things happen will come easier. Knowing what you want in your ideal job gives you more control

over how and where you search for that. This idea of keeping your eye on the goal will bring you much greater chances of finding more satisfaction and success in your career. Re-entry is the final step to close the out-ofwork loop. Getting back into the workforce is different for everyone. There are so many elements at play that there is no single strategy to recommend. Many people find career coaching support to be invaluable, while others manage their own way through. Whichever approach you choose, putting in the effort to prepare—and take care of—yourself when you are in professional transition can ease some of the stress. Being out of work is a complicated and vulnerable state to be in. At the same time, it offers a precious opportunity to discover what is truly important to us professionally and personally. Losing your job is not the end of the world though it may seem like that some days. While it closes the door on a chapter of your work life it also offers a chance for a new beginning.

Positive start for Sun, Raiders on deck

▼ TRACK & FIELD

OAC athletes enjoy strong summer

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

A 65-10 bludgeoning of one the B.C. Football Conference’s weaker opponents in their season opener likely didn’t come as a colossal surprise to the Okanagan Sun. Still, starting off the new campaign with a lopsided victory—regardless of the foe—was a welcome result for a young, revamped Sun squad. After losing last year’s opener, before going 3-7 overall, veteran receiver Tommy Howes believes Saturday night’s drubbing of the Chilliwack Huskers will set the tone for a much more positive and productive 2013. “I think it’s huge for us going forward,” said Howes, who caught three passes for 43 yards and two touchdowns. “Coach (Shane) Beatty has brought a whole new level of energy and accountability to our team and the guys are responding to it. It’s just one game, but it’s a good start and good to see our young guys getting some experience.” One glitch on the game summary for new head coach Shane Beatty was a slow start by the Sun as the Huskers’ offence held the ball for most of the first quarter

FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR

OKANAGAN Sun receiver Jesse Kendall stretches for extra yards against a pair of Chilliwack defenders in B.C. Football Conference action Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. before scoring for a 7-0 lead. But it was all Sun after that, who replied with 30 unanswered points in the second quarter and scored touchdowns in almost every conceivable fashion—five via the pass, two along the ground, one on a blocked punt and one on an interception. In the big picture, Beatty was satisfied with the outcome, even though “Overall, I think we’ve still got a ways to go,” said Beatty. “We came out of the gate slow, but the kids played hard. I thought the offense passed the ball well, and played a pretty good game for the most part. We scored in a multitude of ways, so that was good to see as well.” The jury remains out on the subject of the Sun’s

No. 1 quarterback, as both Theo Deezar and Cam Bedore were productive while at the controls Saturday at the Apple Bowl. Deezar connected on 11 of 15 passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns, while Bedore completed five of nine for 80 yards and two major scores. The battle will continue into this Saturday night’s matchup against the Vancouver Island Raiders. “Obviously Theo did well with his three touchdown passes, but at the same time Cam got the job done when he was in there,” Beatty said. “I would think we’re still going to keep looking at both guys.” “I was happy with the way I played and the way

the team played,” said Deezar, who played last season at the U of Manitoba. “Whoever’s in for us at quarterback, we have such a good receiving corps, just easy targets all over the field. I really like the potential of our team.” Jesse Kendall and Howes each grabbed a pair of TD passes, with Thomas Huber adding another. Alex Bradley and Dillon Fortune scored rushing majors, with Bradley piling up 104 yards on 16 carries. “Alex looked really good out there,” Beatty said of Bradley’s performance. Landon King, with a 30-yard return of a blocked punt, and Robbie Yochim, with a 10-yard interception return, scored

the Sun’s other majors. The win came with a cost, however, as veteran cornerback Jamie Turek went down with a knee injury on the game’s opening drive and is likely to miss most of the season with a damaged ACL. As for this weekend’s much anticipated matchup with VI, the Sun are hoping to turn the tables on the Raiders who won all four meetings between the clubs last season. “Every game we play is a test and an opportunity and that’s what it’s going to be against the Raiders,” Tommy Howes added. “They’re a good football team, we’re excited to play them and see what we can do.” Kick off against the Raiders Saturday at the Apple Bowl is 7 p.m.

Huska enters B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Ryan Huska’s part in back-to-back Memorial Cup championships by the Kamloops Blazers has earned the Kelowna Rockets’ head coach a place in the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame. Huska, 38, along with other members of the 1994 and 1995 Blazers’ teams, were officially inducted into the hall over the weekend at a ceremony in Penticton. “As a group, this is a

great honour for us,” said Huska. “The recognition that was given to us is really nice, and it just validates what a great group we had. We can very proud of what we accomplished.” Huska was inducted along with the likes of Darcy Tucker, Jarome Iginla, Shane Doan, Hnat Domenichelli, Nolan Baumgartner and Jason Strudwick who were all key members of the Blazers’ championship teams. Kamloops won consecutive CHL titles in the mid-90s under head coach

Don Hay and general manager Bob Brown. With the passage of time, Huska said the importance attached to what the Blazers achieved just grows stronger. “The older you get, the more special it becomes,” Huska added. “To get to a Memorial Cup is tough enough as it is, but to have won two in a row and three in four years is an amazing accomplishment. It makes you realize what a special group we really had during those years.”

Ryan Huska A native of Cranbrook, Huska has won

four Memorial Cup titles in his career—three as a player with the Blazers (‘92, ‘94, ‘95), and another as an assistant coach with the Rockets in 2004. Huska scored 71 goals and 162 points over four seasons with the Blazers, while adding 18 goals and 38 points in the playoffs. As head coach of the Rockets for six seasons, Huska has led the team to a WHL title and a Memorial Cup berth in 2009, as well as a club-record 52 victories during the 201213 season.

The Okanagan Athletics Club’s middle-distance athletes have had a productive summer on the track, winning 11 provincial championship medals , including three gold. Taryn O’Neill, 13, returned from the B.C .Athletics Junior Development Championships this month in Nanaimo with a bronze in the 800m (2:29.17), a silver in the 1200m (3:50.90), and a gold in the 2000m (6:36.69). O’Neill’s winning time of 6:36.69 in the 2000m smashed the Junior Development Championship meet record by almost 20 seconds. The B.C. Athletics Championship Jubilee, held July 19 to 21 in Kamloops, marked another successful outing on the track for the OACs middle-distance group whose older athletes took home a combined total of eight medals over the course of the three-day event. Headlining the group’s showing was Sean Bergman, 15, who raced to a commanding first-place finish in the Midget Boy’s 1500m Steeplechase (4:27.31). Bergman’s winning effort in the steeplechase was followed by a clocking of 3:24.07 in the 1200m, good for third place despite losing a shoe in the early stages of the event. In the boy’s fourteenyear-old age category, fellow OAC competitor Jacob Bourchier was one of the club’s five double medalists, taking home a gold in the 2000m and a bronze in the 1200m, with personal best clocking’s of 6:27.18 and 3:32.00. Bourchier closed off his season by also setting a personal best for a fifth place finish in the 800m (2:16.88). In the Youth Men’s 1617 age division, OAC’s Adam Murray exhibited

the form that earned him a spot at the upcoming Legion Youth Nationals. In addition to claiming ninth place in the 2000m steeplechase (6:40.46), Murray rounded out the weekend with strong finishes in the 800m and 1500m events. Murray’s times of 2:05.89 and 4:20.27 were good for eighth and 10th place. Also competing in the Youth Men’s competition was John Gay, whose showing at the meet was highlighted by medal performances in the 3000m and 2000m steeplechase. Gay earned silver and bronze medals with times of 9:11.41 and 6:14.21, respectively. A personal best time of 4:11.27 proved good enough for seventh in the 1500m event. On the women’s side, Veronika Fagan, 16, battled a strong field in the Youth category en route to a double bronze performance in the 2000m Steeplechase (7:25.92) and 3000m (10:40.75) events. Fellow OAC member Cassie Laturnus also had a good showing in Kamloops, breezing through qualification rounds to post a fourth-place 61.50 in the 400m, followed by a solid 2:24.18 in the 800m, good for fifth place. In other news, OAC’s Pam Medland has been appointed distance coach for Team B.C. in Langley, but will also keep a careful watch on the Kelowna contingent who she expects to do quite well. “Our club has never had as many outstanding young distance runners as we have this year,” says Medland “We expect OAC will make a mark at nationals in both the power-speed and distance events, so the club is looking to end the season with a bang.”

Okanagan Gymnastics athletes at Canada Cup

KELOWNA’S

Keefer Joyce (left) edges Coquitlam’s James Linde at the line to win the junior men’s (18-19) 100 metre dash at the B.C. Track and Field Championships earlier this month in Kamloops. Joyce posted a time of 10.76 seconds.

Accompanied by their coach Jamie Gardner, six members of the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre turned in solid results at a Canada Cup trampoline event in Airdrie, Alta. Curtis Gerein and Trevor Stirling competed in the Men’s Senior synchronized trampoline event and finished fourth. Gerein competed in the senior men’s individual trampoline event while Stirling competed in the Junior Men’s individual event. Emma Tucker earned the gold medal in the Jun-

ior Women’s Double Mini Trampoline. Danielle Gruber finished in third place on Double Mini Trampoline and fourth on individual trampoline in the Junior Women’s category. Rachel Stone competed in the Junior Women’s Trampoline event and the Senior Women’s Double Mini Trampoline. Adele Lefevre competed in the Espoir category where she finished fourth on Trampoline and seventh on Double Mini Trampoline. This competition fol-

lows Canadian championships which were held in May. The two events determine which athletes will represent Canada at World Age Groups this fall. Athletes must qualify to represent their province for Canadian Championships, but Canada Cup is an independent competition where the athletes represent their club. The Canadian coaches are still determining the teams and athletes who will travel to World Age Groups and World Championships in Bulgaria this fall.

PACK, SHAUN DAVID Shaun David Pack, 39, of Kelowna, BC, passed away on July 24th, 2013. The funeral service was held at 4 PM on Monday, July 29, 2013 at Springfield Funeral Home. Shaun was born in Drayton Valley, Alberta on March 24, 1974. He graduated from University of Victoria and University of British Columbia Okanagan Campus, receiving degrees in Science and Education. Shaun moved to Seoul, Korea to teach English after his first degree, and to finally indulge in his love to travel. While there, he met his soul mate, HoBoon Lee. They married on December 29,2003 at his family home in Kelowna, and in Seoul Korea at a traditional Korean Village May 22, 2004, with his Korean family and in his second home. After obtaining his Education Degree in 2006, Shaun moved to China to teach Mathematics and Calculus for the Maple Leaf International Schools, initially in Shinyang, China and then relocated to the campus at Dalian, China, which became his current home. He was a popular and respected teacher and was honored to teach at the ADP program level. He returned to BC to spend summers with Boonie and his family and friends. Shaun enjoyed music and films, playing his guitar, and mastering new languages including Mandarin and Korean, and utilizing the latest technology to enhance his innovative teaching skills. He and Boonie travelled extensively in South East Asia and he managed to talk her into many terrifying water adventures, as well as bike rides and camping in BC during the summers. He will most likely be remembered for his undeniable uniqueness of gifted intelligence, determination and side-splitting wit. Shaun is remembered by his wife, HoBoon Lee; his mother and step-father Jill & Bruno Kurth; his father, Paul Pack; his sister and brother in-law, Kerri & Roberta Janota; step brothers, Hans and Eva Kurth and Eric Kurth; and several uncles, aunts, cousins and many life long friends both in Canada and the many places he worked. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made toward a bursary for a gifted mathematics student of Maple Leaf Educational Systems, c/o Supt. George Watson, #406-601 West Broadway, Vancouver, B.C.

ADULT CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVERS SPAYED FEMALES

These two beautiful sisters are active and friendly, easily excitable and just love being around people. They would both benefit from a strong guardian who loves regular exercise and outings to keep they healthy and happy. They will need a fenced yard, as there is a tendency to wander when they are left unsupervised for any length of time. Bella and Bailey are bonded and of course we are looking for a home for them ‘together’ which would be the ideal situation, but it is not mandatory. They are happy-go-lucky, affectionate and promise to ‘share’ the bed, not ‘hog’ it. If you feel they would be a good fit for your family...we may just send them home together at a reduced price!!! (PS...they are also good with cats)

YOUNG ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE

Sunny is a social, happy girl who likes a good cuddle now and then. She would benefit from a quiet home with NO children, as likes thing on the calm side. She is quick to run to you for affection, loves to gaze out the window and is OK with other felines. If you are looking for a calm, social kitty please ask the staff to set up a ‘cuddle session’ with this sweetie.

Helloooo! This is Mindy! She is a social butterfly to the max, loves attention, although she can be al little on the ‘catch-me-if-you-can’ side as well. She is young and looking for someone to bond with ‘forever’. If you would like to meet this little sweetie please ask the staff for an introduction. She will not disappoint you!

JUST LAUNCHED!

If it’s hot, your pet may be in trouble! The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. On summer days the air and upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your dog will be more comfortable if left at home. If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately.

Trinket has come out of foster care with her kittens, where she proved to be a wonderful little house cat. She tends to keep to herself around other cats, but is still adaptable.

Thena is a real sweetheart. She can be a bit shy but quickly overcomes that when petted...then she rolls over and purrs away. She came in with other cats so if you already have a house cat, she will probably fit right in. She loves to laze in the sun, and is seeking a calm, stable environment with a loving family. I would love the chance to be your best friend...maybe crawl under the covers with you...so come on down if you think you can withstand my cuteness.

Buddy is a friendly, exuberant boy, and once you have earned his trust, he will come bounding when you call. Our Dog Walkers are quite impressed with him, he is intelligent, responds quickly to confident leadership and praise and makes good eye contact. Buddy has some anxiety issues and needs to go to a home where he can continue his learning and become the best dog he can be. Please ask the staff to set up a meeting with him.

Pepsi is young at heart and absolutely loves to run until she is so tired, she could drop. She has great potential to be a family companion to where she can participate in an active lifestyle. She will need basic obedience and leash training, which will also help to bond her to you. If you believe your home an provide her with love, laughter she will give back years of loyalty. She is waiting eagerly to play in your backyard.

Forty-six West Kelowna residents have told their stories and shared their frustrations with health care services in West Kelowna since an initial call for submissions was put out last month. But the West Kelowna Residents Association knows there are many more people than that who want to see change. Last month, the WKRA asked residents to help identify gaps and problems with existing health care services on the Westside. The residents association has agreed to gather the feedback on behalf of Joanne Konnert, the consultant hired by the District of West Kelowna to prepare a report on the proposed Westside health facility. “I think Ms. Konnert is probably expecting a larger number,” said WKRA director Ron Green. “At the last public meeting we had on the subject, we had 245 people there.” Green said the responses so far have given

▼ WESTSIDE

The West Kelowna teenager currently on trial for murder will finally tell her version of the events that left one of her peers dead, and turned a quiet Peachland street into a chaotic crime scene. The 18-year-old, whose name is under a publication ban, is alleged to have stabbed Ashlee Hyatt, 16, in her neck after an argument at a June 2, 2010, party. It’s a story that Crown counsel Murray Kaay assembled a number of witnesses to tell from varying angles, but defence lawyer Ingrid Friesen pointed out Friday that none of those viewpoints added up to a complete picture. “You as a jury will be the first to hear her side of the story—she wants very much to tell it,” Friesen told a B.C. Supreme Court jury Friday. “She’s been waiting two years to tell it.” The accused, who defence described as a “new girl trying to fit in at a new school,” has seen her point of view be absent in the last two weeks of trial, as even RCMP officers who dealt with the investigation failed to offer her perspective on what happened that night. What the jury has learned from teen witnesses who were there, however, is that the accused kissed a boy, while her boyfriend was nearby. This apparently upset Hyatt and the two started exchanging verbal barbs, which escalated to further pushing on the street, and eventually Hyatt was fatally wounded. Continuing on with the altercation, however, was the teenage host of the party. The defence has already suggested she was the one who brought the knife to the fight between the accused and Hyatt, and Friday two witnesses took the witness stand to highlight the teenage host’s behaviour in the aftermath and leading up to the fatal altercation. They also called upon George Young, who lives adjacent to the party house, to give testimony. Young testified he was brought into the fray when he heard a teenage boy in the street talking into his cellphone, saying, “It’s going down, it’s going down, it’s happening now.”

he day’s last light was fading and the first flakes of snow were falling outside the window, when a large black bear came ambling down the slope into the flower bed. There he began vigorously digging a hole, tossing plants aside as he went. A loud rap on the window sent him scurrying through the trees to the road, but the damage had been done in the garden. What if someone had come around the corner of the house and surprised that big animal? Others tell of watching as a large black bear ambled up their residential street, systematically exploring every driveway for garbage bins left out or other treats to eat, knocking over bins and laying down in the mess of trash in the road, while chewing on whatever was available.
