hurts them personally to see such destruction,” he explained. He’s been in the industry since the 1970s and says he’s never seen such widespread damage.

Several people running and walking on the new and improved waterfront trail along Gellatly Road had to duck under a red ribbon Wednesday morning as West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater announced the completion of Gellatly Road phase three upgrades. The $3.15 million project improved the road surface and existing lakeside trail and added cycling lanes, pedestrian lookouts, streetlights, dedicated parking with assigned handicapped stalls, storm sewers and catch basins. Seventy new trees were also planted and drought-tolerant, irrigated landscaping was installed. “This is our front yard,” said Findlater. “We can fix roads here and there, but when we fix this road and rehabilitate this area, (it’s) for everyone.” Since 2010, approximately $5 million has been invested in Gellatly Road, transforming it into a multi-use corridor. The first phase of improvements started at The Cove Lakeside Resort.

At 6:30 p.m. on Monday, he was looking out the window at an approaching storm cloud when he heard the first rustling, as dry hail began to hit the leaves of his trees. Then the rain began and the wind, followed by more periods of hail; balls of ice the size of large marbles. There were still piles of ice around in the orchard the next morning, he says. The storm was so intense that roads in the area are dotted with patches of gravel and mud from errant streams of runoff from neighbouring properties.

“Yesterday (Monday), I thought this would be a good year, with a beautiful crop of good-sized apples,” he said. Tuesday, he looked out over an orchard littered with shredded leaves and bruised apples—fruit that isn’t even suitable for juice. Just last week, Jaswal had even put on an extra spray to help improve the quality of the fruit as harvest approaches in the coming weeks, but that $2,000 just went down the drain in a hail of ice pellets. Some of the growers affected by this week’s storm in Kelowna have suffered a total loss, with damage not only to this year’s crop, but also to the tree vigour and the fruit buds for next year’s crop.

Broken branches hang limply, while leaves are shredded—turned into see-through lace—and fruit has been punctured, bruised and, in some instances, tossed to the ground. The devastation in orchards, vineyards and fields in Southeast Kelowna is total on some farms. For the first half of the year, farmers had fertilized their plants, irrigated the roots, pruned the branches, pollinated the flowers, sprayed competing weeds, thinned the young fruit and otherwise tended their crops. But all those efforts, in some cases their entire crops, were wiped out by a half-hour hailstorm Monday evening that was brutal in its fury. Hailstones described as the size of marbles slashed leaves into ribbons along the storm’s path, broke branches and flattened whole crops, while farmers could only helplessly watch. B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association president Jeet Dukhia estimates 25,000 to 30,000 bins of apples have been lost in just a few hailstorms this year, a loss of 10 to 15 per cent of the valley’s crop, with an estimated value of $4 million to $6 million. Kamaljeet Jaswal, of Spiers Road, has 14 acres of apples, all replanted in the past decade or so to

Errant tire causes accident A tire with a mind of its own caused a motor vehicle accident Tuesday afternoon on Highway 97 near Ponderosa Road in Lake Country. Lake Country RCMP say the accident left a West Kelowna man with a serious leg injury. According to witnesses, police say the incident occurred just after 5 p.m. as the driver’s side rear wheel came off of a southbound 2006 grey Dodge pickup truck from Manitoba.

The wheel then passed the truck it had disengaged from, and rolled southbound, striking a northbound 2001 Green Harley Davidson motorcycle. The 62-year-old motorcycle driver, from West Kelowna, was struck by the tire, sustaining serious injury to his left leg. He was transported to Kelowna General Hospital. The 53-year-old male driver of the truck, from Manitoba, was unhurt.

Arion farm ready to build East Kelowna riding ring Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Less than a year after Arion Therapeutic Farm went public with a plea to have the community help fund construction of a new covered riding ring, the money is in the bank. The farm has now raised $120,000—in large part due to the combined efforts of the Capri, Ogopogo and Downtown Kelowna Rotary clubs that collectively raised $50,000 for the effort— and will soon begin construction on its new addition. “We’re so very close to our goal and so very thankful for all the support,” said Heather Henderson, founder and executive director. “When you consider we’ve had donations of $20 come in, you know the community has really rallied around this idea.” Arion is a homegrown charity servicing every demographic within Kelowna from toddlers to

offers a handful of hay up to a favourite horse standing where Arion Therapeutic Farm’s new riding ring will sit. seniors. It offers those with special needs or physical or mental health ailments a place to recuperate, seek out different forms of

therapy and make a connection with nature. But it has also runs a number of after-school programs, summer camps, employment pro-

grams and housing initiatives targeting a wide swath of needs. “Arion farm”It’s not always about the obvious here,” explained Hender-

son. “Sometimes it’s just about meeting people where they’re at.” Over the four years since it opened its doors

this has meant encouraging volunteerism among corporate groups and providing university students with practicum experience and business projects. It has meant developing a niche to serve autistic children and their families. And it has meant letting seniors come out to feed the animals and enjoy some fresh air. But the backbone of the facility has always been its therapeutic riding program and the ring will make it possible to finally start meeting the demand. “Right now, we can only run therapeutic riding for four hours in the morning—and it’s packed,” said Henderson. The young riders and those with serious physical challenges cannot withstand the heat and it’s the same problem come winter when cold weather forces some out. When one considers the farm is averaging 100 riders a week, paring down to just four hours

a day makes for a tough schedule for the horses and staff. The new riding ring will help alleviate many of the issues and ensure the farm moves toward a sustainable financial picture after an unprecedented growth spurt. Opened in 2009, it hasacquired its own property, been certified by Community Living BC to act as a housing provider, added 13 programs to its roster and a full compliment of animals. In order to break ground on the ring, the non-profit society running Arion still needs to find someone to handle its excavating pro bono and trades people, like a plumber and skilled labour, to help bring the six-week build in under budget. To help, contact Arion Therapeutic Farm 778477-1006. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

▼ CAMPFIRE BAN

Forest service urges campers to respect fire concerns The Kamloops Fire Centre is urging the public to abide by the current campfire prohibition or face fines and possible prosecution. A campfire ban, which includes the prohibition of fireworks and burning barrels, went into effect on Aug. 1 in the Kamloops Fire Centre region, wich includes the Central Okanagan. However, recent patrols by fire wardens, natural resource officers and the Conservation Officer Service, as well as reports from the public, indicate an increase in non-compliant campfire use. Throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre, the Conservation Officer Service has issued seven violation tickets and 11 warnings related to these prohibitions over the last two weekends. The consequences for having a campfire or lighting fireworks include:

• A violation ticket of $345 for all people in attendance of a campfire; and • A violation ticket of $230 for all people participating in lighting fireworks. Prosecution is another course of action that may result in a fine of up to $100,000 and/or a one-year imprisonment. If campfires or fireworks cause a wildfire, the person(s) responsible may be fined $1 million, face three years in prison and be required to pay for all fire suppression costs related to that fire. Natural resource officers have responded to a number of abandoned campfires while the campfire ban has been in place. The forest service wants to remind the public that if they see anyone contravening the ban, they should write

a description of any vehicle in the immediate area and call the wildfire reporting line, *5555 on your cellphone, immediately. The Kamloops Fire Centre is responding to 153 wildfires in the region, 11 of which were caused by people. During times of intense lightning activity, all personnel and resources are needed to respond to naturally occurring wildfires. Person-caused fires are preventable and tie up vital firefighting resources. To report a wildfire or prohibited campfire, call *5555 on your cellular phone or call toll-free to 1 800 6635555. Meanwhile, the campfire ban imposed by the Regional District of the Central Okangan remains in effect as all campfires are prohibited through-

out all Central Okanagan municipalities. The ban took effect Aug. 1 and coincided with the similar action announced by the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations across the Kamloops Fire Centre area within BC Parks, Crown and private lands. The ban will remain in effect until further notice. As a result of extremely dry conditions and an extended period of hot, dry weather, local fire chiefs opted to implement the total ban on campfires within all local government jurisdictions of the Regional District of Central Okanagan. That includes the City of Kelowna, the District of West Kelowna, the District of Lake Country and the Central Okanagan East and West Electoral Areas.

Campfires are not permitted at any time within the Kelowna. A campfire ban has been in effect for the District of Peachland since July 15. Open burning has not been allowed within any jurisdiction of the regional district and member municipalities since April. As well, local bylaws prohibit the use of any fireworks at any time throughout most areas of the Central Okanagan. Use of fireworks in the District of Lake Country must be approved in writing by the fire chief. Violators could receive a fine and be charged the cost of the fire department response to a burning complaint. Residents are encouraged to report anyone who is illegally burning by calling the Kelowna Fire Department Regional Dispatch Centre at 250-4698577.

Jail time given for child porn conviction Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR

A former Kelowna radio personality has been sent to jail for possessing child pornography. Darren Mitchell Robertson, 47, was sentenced by Judge Brad Chapman on Tuesday to nine months behind bars and a year of probation, more than a year after he pleaded guilty to the offence. A bid for a conditional sentence order, meaning he could serve his jail sentence in the community, was denied, court records indicate. Robertson, who also

The hype got ahead of the Hollywood promotional machine, but George Clooney is coming to Enderby to shoot scenes for a new motion picture. Jon Summerland, the Okanagan Film Commissioner, has confirmed that the film Tomorrowland, a Walt Disney Pictures production, will be shooting scenes in the North Okanagan starting late this summer and into the fall. This production is a mystery adventure that stars Clooney along with Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy and Thomas Robinson. The film is being directed, produced and co-written by two-time Academy Award winner Brad Bird. Also a co-producer on the project is Damon Lindelof, who worked on Star Trek Into The Darkness and Prometheus.

or, a resident of Armstrong, says it’s a relief to finally be able to announce the Tomorrowland shoot. Trainor says local businesses should feel the impact of the production for the next few months. “Without the Film Commission working tirelessly on this project there is no doubt the movie would have located elsewhere” said Trainor. “Having a film, cast and crew of this calibre coming to the Okanagan to shoot is a highlight in the history of filming in the Okanagan,” added Summerland. “We will definitely see an increase in popularity for filming in the Okanagan after the release of this film on Dec. 12, 2014. “Being in the company of as many Oscarwinning filmmakers and actors is also a highlight in my career so far.”

Ministry of Health documents, between four and 10 per cent of seniors will experience some form of physical, emotional, financial or sexual abuse. It is also believed that abuse of vulnerable adults and seniors is significantly under-reported.

Smith Creek residents oppose rezoning application Emotions ran high at a District of West Kelowna public hearing Tuesday as more than 40 people crowded into council chambers. The majority of those people were against a proposed zoning bylaw amendment that would see a 7,000-square-metre parcel in the Smith Creek neighbourhood transformed from small lot country residential (RU5) to single detached housing (R1). The piece of property is part of a nine-lot RU5 subdivision, known as Hillside Estates, which is owned by MacLean Homes. The district gave the

bylaw amendments first and second reading July 9 and directed staff to bring the application to the agricultural advisory committee for comment prior to the public hearing. Both the agricultural advisory committee and the advisory planning commission supported the proposal. The Smith Creek residents in attendance Tuesday voiced concern over a variety of issues related to the rezoning application. Rainbow Road resident Jack Smith told council he was involved in the original subdivision of the properties on Rainbow Road, which is east of MacLean Homes’ ninelot subdivision. The properties were

zoned small lot country residential so they could act as a buffer zone to the Agricultural Land Reserve properties to the west, south and east. The last three official community plans—two of which belonged to the regional district—supported the buffer. He explained longtime residents in the area, as well as those who have purchased any of the nine Hillside Estates lots, were told the lots would remain RU5. “Everyone who is on our properties have adhered to that principal and everyone who bought the new ones have expected that to be maintained,” said Smith. He added several variances and exemp-

tions would have to be approved in order to subdivide the parcel in question. “There are two nobuild, no-disturb zones on there that will severely restrict where the houses could be built,” said Smith. “If (this) lot is allowed to be rezoned to R1, then everyone may want to subdivide their lots along our street. With the many number of variances that you would have to hand out, you’d be hard-pressed to deny those people their requests.” Smith presented council with a petition signed by 66 residents in the area. Dave Compton spoke to council on behalf of the Smith Creek Residents’ Association. He called the application “intrusive.”

Council did not support his application in 2007 at first and second reading; therefore, the file was closed. MacLean withdrew his 2009 application following the public consultation component, prior to council consideration. Since he’s owned the property, MacLean claimed he has improved the area. “We put a buffer in, we put a walkway in, we put (in) curbs and gutters.

The Salvation Army in Kelowna continues to provide assistance to the residents affected by the Rutland apartment fires that occurred last month. That assistance comes in the form of food, clothing, household items and furniture distributed from the Community Life Centre, located at 200 Rutland Road South. Salvation Army Maj. Ron Cartmell says they are thankful for the support of local residents to help those in need. “Vital support through donations is continuing to help people in this community come through the adversities in their lives,” Cartmell said. “The communities help allows us to step in each day and facilitate the process to help get them back onto their feet, in a caring and compassionate way.” While most of us continue with our normal lives, many of the families affected are just now moving into their new homes, noted Geri Grainger, community ministries manager. “We are committed to providing assistance as long as the need is there. “With the donations of good quality gently used items to our thrift stores, we will make those items available to families affected. “This also allows us to provide support when the next emergency arises.” When disaster strikes, the Kelowna Salvation

“We use the word intrusive as we believe that it intrudes on a lifestyle to which the property owners bought into many year ago and is now being completely disrupted by an absentee property owner for the sake of profit and gain without regard to (his) neighbours,” said Compton. Other residents expressed concerns about increased traffic, unstable soil, deterioration of walkways, previous experiences dealing with MacLean Homes and obstructed views. Graham MacLean, president of MacLean Homes, told council he lives in West Vancouver; however, he said he’s not a “parachute person” and noted he owns properties

fatal crash involving a semi-truck tractor unit and a pedestrian on Langley Bypass last Wednesday morning raises far more questions than the answers provided thus far. And it also begs the question: Why do police continue to have the power to investigate the actions of someone who is working for them, when we have an Independent Investigations Office (IIO) which is supposed to remove the blatant conflicts of interest? This particular incident involved a civilian contractor who

does regular work for police agencies. He was working for Surrey RCMP, investigating the circumstances of a fatal crash in November, 2012, involving a truck and a police cruiser driven by Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver. Just a few hours before the pedestrian fatality, the contractor was using the semi-truck as part of the police investigation. Just before 3 a.m. on Aug. 7, the truck was heading eastbound when it struck a 37-year-old Langley man in the 19500 block of Langley Bypass. The driver did not stop. Police

put out a public plea for information, and a short time later, the truck was located. Soon afterwards, it was traced to the contractor. Surrey RCMP stated that, because the man was a contractor who worked for them, the investigation would be observed by another police agency. While that is a step toward making this an arm’s length investigation, it is far too tentative. We have seen from the Robert Dziekanski case, and numerous others, that police simply cannot investigate incidents involving fellow officers and re-

main 100 per cent objective. That isn’t a criticism. It’s human nature. These cases led to establishment of the IIO. The legislation setting up the IIO did not make allowances for the agency to investigate civilian police employees or contractors doing work for police agencies. Yet it seems logical that the same conflicts of interest which have caused so much public concern would be present when Surrey RCMP are tasked with investigating a fatal traffic crash involving someone working for them. —Langley Times

Marijuana pain treatment for pets begins to gain momentum

want to put my dog on dope. Such a request would likely bring shudders to the veterinarian for our pets. But elsewhere, the idea is starting to generate some interest as pet owners look for alternatives to treat their ailing animals. The treatment option of medical marijuana is still on shaky medical grounds because there are no veterinary guidelines on prescribing it for animals. An overdose of pot can lead to difficulty for animals in walking, drib-

bling urine and an irregular heart beat. But pet owners are looking at the cost of pain prescription drugs for their pets and the host of side-effects, and Barry seeing marijuana as an Gerding alternative for their ailing feline or canine to spend its last years in as little discomfort as possible. Although the courts have ruled that Canadians have a constitutional right to use marijuana for medical reasons, the legal framework that could allow veterinarians to prescribe the drug for pets hasn’t been written or researched.

EDITOR’S NOTE

A story in The Province newspaper last week reported that Vancouver marijuana dispensaries are reporting more and more clients asking about treating their dogs with pot. In the U.S., Los Angeles veterinarian Dr. Doug Kramer has become a leading pot-for-pets advocate. Kramer cites his own story, related to his Siberian husky Nikita, who died of cancer. In her final days, Nikita was in significant pain and not responding well to her prescription meds, the side-effects of which made her groggy. Kramer faced the tough choice between euthanasia and trying something different. So after doing a bit of research, Kramer opted to try mari-

juana on Nikita. After taking a small dose, Nikita stopped whimpering and was able to greet him at the door when he came home again. The dog’s appetite quickly returned, and she started to regain lost weight. While it wasn’t a cure, Kramer now credits medical marijuana for giving his dog an extra six weeks of life at an improved quality level than otherwise would have been the case. That kind of response speaks to a key aspect of the marijuana use issue, one that is often overshadowed by the debate surrounding the criminal factor of the drug. And that is how pharmaceutical company products for pets and humans will take whatever political lobby steps are available to off-

set any competition factor from marijuana. Follow the money, as they say. The question that political scientists ask in the U.S. is when the changing electorate demographics will dictate the attitude that it’s time to open up the treatment possibilities for marijuana, and to do the research necessary to judge its level of safety. In Canada, fearful of the U.S. War on Drugs paranoia policy and the pharmaceutical lobby efforts, we will do nothing until the Americans change their marijuana strategy. But a change is inevitable, and perhaps sooner for Rover then for the rest of us. Barry Gerding is the managing editor of the Capital News.

LETTERS

Keep the RVs out of City Park Aerosol geoengineering theories raise questions To the editor: Re: Proposed changes to Kelowna City Park. I feel compelled to add my name and comments to those many other citizens who have spoken against the proposed changes to various parts and functions of our city’s premier park. Acknowledging that various changes have been made to the park in the over 100 years of its existence, I believe none have been as pointless and egregious as the ones currently being proposed. The parkland is owned by the community—the citizens—and is held, essentially in trust by the municipal corporation, for those citizens. The city council of the day can’t assume it has right to transform its greenspace for parking space, a tourism centre, or any other purpose its current whims deem to be a good idea. Because the city “owns” the land, that does not give it the right to arbitrarily alter its use without, at very least, asking its citizens if they approve of the project, by referendum. Council’s preferred alternate approval process is a sham, anti-democratic and while allowed by legislation is still an insult to both the democratic process and to this community’s citizens. Even if this is seen as an inexpensive way to provide space for a new tourist centre offices and retail space because there is no land purchase cost, such a transformation cannot justified. Further, funnelling the travelling public off the bridge access at Abbott Street, regardless of the direction it is travelling, is challenging and confusing for many even now. Visitors travelling through Kelowna from the south are presently passing weed-covered empty lots, boarded up buildings, and scruffy under-utilized parking lots. And that’s just the first couple of blocks. Surely, if there is a need for a new tourist centre, easy highway access coupled with a beautification project would better serve both the travelling public and the community. At a time when every authority is trumpeting the importance of a physically and socially active lifestyle, why is Kelowna’s recreation department not utilizing the park’s existing and historic lawn bowling facility rather than condemning the site and replacing it with a fountain. In my view, our mayor and many of the present council members have assumed the unprecedented position of having the unchallenged right to use any city owned property for whatever, in their short-term vision, is expedient or trendy. How can they possibility rationalize that these changes would be in the best long-term interests of the park and the community? At least do us the courtesy of asking us, by referendum, if we agree? But know that previous attempts to make similar changes have repeatedly been defeated. When so many other communities are struggling to add open, green space to their downtown cores, why is this council bent on paving over and building on—and condemning for all time—the bits of paradise that still remain in this city. We citizens should be outraged. Sharron J. Simpson Kelowna

Confusion reigns over West Kelowna name To the editor: There was so much controversy at the time about renaming Westbank to West Kelowna. If the name was changed, why are there so many businesses referring to an unknown title as Westbank? What is the name of this place, or is it too confusing. It should have remained as Westbank. Peter Anutooshkin, Kelowna Editor’s note: Westbank’s name was never changed to West Kelowna. The municipality of Westside changed its name to West Kelowna following incorporation and after a municipal referendum on the name change. Westbank remains an area within the District of West Kelowna.

▼ CHEMTRAILS

To the editor: Recently, official-appearing notices were circulated from the City of Kelowna and City of Penticton alerting the population that jets are spraying chemicals which have been tested to be toxic to soil, water and humans. Sadly, the use of city logos was forgery, but the information on these notices remains true and well documented. Whoever circulated these notices was well informed. as there is a tremendous amount of scientific data accessible via the Internet. The websites geoengineeringwatch.org, californiaskywatch.org, agriculturedefense.org, thrive movement.com and environmentalvoices.org are excellent sources of unfiltered information. Unfortunately, there is a media blackout firmly in place while the scientists who are proponents of aerosol geoengineering are compartmentalized and don’t appear to be overseen by any one. Throughout my life, I’ve been aware, observant and appreciative of our environment, near and far. When I first heard about chemtrails (aerosol geoengineering), I was in denial,which is a normal human response to information that one doesn’t want to hear or believe. When I saw these

trails daily over my valley and observed beautiful clear blue mornings becoming murky hazy low overcast skies by mid-day, I began to search for information. I learned that these persistent contrails, another name for aerosol geoengineering, have been seen all over the world since the late 1990s. In educating myself, I’ve learned some most alarming facts as california skywatch.org and agriculturedefence.org scientists reported that the snow of Mount Shasta is 60,000 parts per million of aluminum oxide, indigenous trees and plants are dieing, growing food has become difficult. Soil samples have revealed high levels of aluminum, barium salts, strontium and soil Ph is rapidly becoming alkaline. Alzheimer’s disease has risen by 260 per cent in Riverside County over a decade and respiratory mortality has moved from #8 to # 3 in a period of six years. Aerosol geoengineering of chemical particulates has been heavy over California for years. The website geoengineeringwatch.org reports that he sun’s rays have decreased 22 per cent in 10 years. Weather modification seems to be the motive by the compartmentalized

Grow food, not the military To the editor: Re: Indoctrination of believers “incomprehensible,” by Guy King (Aug. 1, Capital News). In his letter, Mr. King brings up how starvation kills 1.5 million children every year. And how numerous wars and uprisings make untold millions live in abject poverty, how they make people homeless and die. Mr. King also agrees that we live in a relatively privileged part of the world. But he says that God, if He exists, doesn’t care and ignores the plight the truly needy. But who causes the wars and starvation, if not ourselves? Instead of manufacturing the armaments and making wars, how much food we could

grow instead and teach people to supply themselves? It is frequently pointed out that we waste to much of our food by spoilage and overeating, instead of sharing it with less fortun-

ate than ourselves. A good example of how to deal with that is in a Capital News article (Aug. 8) by Casey Hamilton about the food gleaning program. Olev Tralla, Rutland

Breast baring limitations not legally clear

redit for this week’s column topic goes to local Internet phenom Lori Welbourne, who produces an edgy talk radio show every Wednesday night called On The Rocks with co-hosts Jason Rock and Stuntman Steve. The show comes with the alluring warning: “On The Rocks contains mature and sexual subject matter, listener discretion is advised”. One of the Internet headline topics of discussion this week was 19-year-old model, Cheyenne Lutek. Lutek tested the limits of New York City’s recently relaxed laws regarding partial nudity by slipping off her blouse in a trendy restaurant. She was escorted out by management, but later posed topless with two New York City police officers who have been directed not to cite topless women for public lewdness or indecent exposure. To prepare for the show, Welbourne posted the topic on Facebook asking about the legality of baring breasts in Kelowna. So I couldn’t resist doing a little research. What would happen if you were to bare your breasts in public in Kelowna? In 1906, you might have spent time in jail. When looking for bylaws on the subject on the

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott City of Kelowna website I came upon this piece of history—1906, Kelowna City Council passed a bylaw and instructed the presiding Chief of Police, William Brent, to prohibit nude bathing in Okanagan Lake between 6 a.m.—9 p.m. Skinny-dippers were fined $100 or sentenced to 30 days in jail! The only current Kelowna bylaws I could find related to breasts, have to do with the circumference of trees. I was interested to learn that tree circumference is measured at breast height. It’s a defined term is “Circumference at Breast Height” (CBH for short). Imagine that. In the context of women’s breasts, does that strike you as problematic? Is it unrestrained or brassiered breasts, for example? The municipality of Maple Ridge passed a bylaw in 1997 requiring “females over the age of eight (8) years” to “fully cover all portions of their nipples and aureole with opaque apparel.” The bylaw was passed in specific response to Linda Meyer’s declara-

CONTRIBUTED

TOAST WORTHY…The Mt. Boucherie Winery wine shop team

(Bree Jefferson, Cathy Marks, Karin Vermassen and Pinki Gidda) each raised a glass last week to toast the generosity of the public. With many of the winery’s long time and repeat summer visitors coming from Alberta, the West Kelowna winery wanted to collect donations to help those impacted by the recent floods. The donations collected at the winery totalled $5,300, which was in turn matched by TD Canada Trust. The total of $10,600 was turned over to the Red Cross to assist Albertans who suffered property losses due to the floods.

tion that she would be baring her breasts in a public leisure centre. Meyer disregarded the bylaw and was subsequently charged. The court hearing the matter declared the bylaw void because a municipality does not have jurisdiction to create bylaws that fall within the gamut of criminal law. Criminal law is an exclusively federal matter, those laws contained within the Criminal Code. Public nudity provisions in the Criminal Code do not specifically name body parts. Instead, offending the Criminal Code requires offending “public decency.” Whether or not public decency is offended depends on what the community standard of tolerance might be. Meyer’s bold asser-

tion that she would go bare-breasted was no doubt inspired by legal developments in Ontario the previous year. A 1996 Ontario Court of Appeal decision found that while most women might choose not to be bare-breasted in public, it is not something that offends the “community standard of tolerance.” The decision resulted in the acquittal of Gwen Jacob, who had been criminally charged and fined $75 for removing her shirt. You might find this odd, but court decisions in other provinces are not automatically binding in British Columbia. They are persuasive, though, particularly when they come from a court of appeal. If I “had a pair” in the female context, I would feel very confident that I

could dangle them on the streets of Kelowna without risk of a criminal conviction. However, I doubt that this clarification about the law will result in the mass display of women’s nude breasts in Kelowna. But I wonder if it might reduce the frowns of disapproval that seem to crop up when a mother attaches her baby’s mouth to that supposedly offensive part of her anatomy in public?

Impact of Bill C-60 on CBC’s integrity discounted M any people are familiar wi23th the term “urban

legend.” It applies to stories and events that are suggested as being true or factually accurate, yet in reality they often prove to be myths that are either entirely fabricated or are very loosely based on actual events with an altered outcome. From time to time urban legends also cross paths with political interests, giving new meaning sometimes to various federal government legislation. As an example, you may have heard about a clause within a bill be-

MP’S REPORT

Dan Albas fore Parliament that is rumoured to be—and I quote directly—“a dangerous clause that would give the government unprecedented control over the CBC.” This ongoing narrative further suggests there is a government effort underway to “silence and control” the CBC. Is this true? As I get a number of inquiries on

this subject I would like to relay some further information on that topic. The clause in question is actually from Bill C-60, the Economic Action Plan of 2013. How is the clause in Bill C-60 actually worded? As follows: “The Governor in Council may, by order, direct a Crown corporation to have its negotiating mandate approved by the Treasury Board for the purpose of the Crown corporation entering into a collective agreement with a bargaining agent for a bargaining unit.” In other words, under Bill C-60 this clause allows the treasury board to

have the option of approving a negotiating mandate at Crown corporations, which includes the CBC. Critics have suggested that maintaining the option of treasury board to provide direction on labour agreements at all Crown corporations (much as already exists currently with everyday government agencies) amounts to an effort to “silence and control” the CBC. It is quite clear that this clause does not in any way create legal mechanisms to engage in government imposed censorship or other forms of political interference. However, that debate

can be saved for a future discussion. What is also alarming is that those who suggest having the ability of government to set a mandate for public sector agreements at CBC are in effect by extension suggesting that money would potentially impact the editorial independence of the CBC. Well-known CBC media personality Peter Mansbridge has stated publicly it is insulting to suggest that a CBC journalist’s day-to-day integrity is negotiable. This particular clause in Bill 60 ensures that our democratically elected government of the day

has the ability to exercise a negotiating mandate that is affordable to taxpayers. It should also be noted that this is a discretionary option that a government may choose to exercise and not a course of action that creates censorship and political interference. Reserving the right to respect the interests of taxpayers in public sector

agreements in a manner that is equal to all agencies and Crown corporations is in my view an important consideration that does not compromise the journalistic integrity of the CBC.

New wine unveiled for Gay Pride Festival The Okanagan Wine Festivals Society and the Okanagan Pride Society have joined forces to create an official new wine event for the Okanagan Pride Festival called Viva Las Pride. A first in Canada, the wine-tasting event will take place Friday, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., at the Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna. In addition to enjoying a wine tasting, attendees will be able to play blackjack and poker for chances to win great prizes while being entertained by go-go boys dancers, burlesque dancers and live music. Proceeds from this event will go to funding

ongoing pride society programs, including a new youth program called Etcetera. Wilbur Turner, president, Okanagan Pride Society, stated, “Pride tourism has a multi-million dollar economic impact across North America. “Events in large cities such as Vancouver and Toronto attract hundreds of thousands of attendees and while Kelowna is a smaller centre, we see it as being a destination Pride Festival due to the draw of wineries, beaches, and attractive summer playground activities. “We are excited to launch Viva Las Pride as part of a Wine and Pride package that will appeal

to locals as well as Pride tourists.” “B.C. wine and the Okanagan Pride Festival are a natural pairing; the LGBT community are affluent wine enthusiasts who consume adult beverages in much greater frequency than the general population,” added Blair Baldwin, general manager of the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society. “We’re thrilled to have local wine featured so prominently in this year’s Pride Festival. Given the tremendous popularity of a similar festival in Sonoma, we’re hoping to build a comparable following with Pride tourists from across North America here in Kelowna.”

Questions? Ask Glenn

There is no doubt in my mind that as you read this column, it makes you think about that “idea” burning inside of you, waiting to be born. It’s there when you awake in the morning and when you lay your head to sleep. It feels like a restless friend. So grab some paper, a napkin, a ticket stub or the reports notebook that I carry religiously courtesy of my Capital News editor and write it down. Then your entrepreneurial dream idea is now born and alive, ready for you to spawn its further growth.

Listen and learn from them Make a “why I can’t do this” list and include everything that might impede your entrepreneurial dream idea from taking off. Consider everything from lack of necessary education to shortage of investment money. Then, tear up that list. Realize there is nothing on this list to hold you back if you are willing to work hard and take chances. With conviction, tear up the list and throw the small pieces over your shoulder for good luck. Then tell yourself “ the only barrier to achieving my dream is me.”

CREATE A TO DO LIST

Starting tonight, create your own To Do List and update or change it constantly. Attack it with gusto and courage. Prioritize your list do the harder tasks first. check off your completions then congratulate yourself in your accomplishments.

Please always remember if you dare to take this journey of journeys, the beginning starts with your heart and your passion. These suggestions can help you identify your heart’s motivation and build a solid foundation under your entrepreneurial dream.

Financial planning and household budget discussions are often left to RRSP season and tax time, usually revolving around how to find a few extra dollars to put toward your retirement or if you’ll see a tax refund or invoice.

During the rest of the year, often little thought is giving to financial planning, especially during the summer. Jay Christensen, an investment specialist at Valley First Credit Union, says financial reviews shouldn’t be an an-

nual event as mid-year check-ups can help keep financial goals on track and summer spending in check. “Summer is often a time for rest and relaxation,” said Christensen “With fewer distractions, this can put you in

a great frame of mind for reviewing your financial plan. “For those who don’t have a plan, which is more than 50 per cent of Canadians, it’s also a perfect time to meet with a financial advisor and get a written plan in place.” For the one-third of Canadians who take a mental vacation from personal finances, there can be a big impact on savings and debt repayment, not to mention increased non-essential spending as the people loosen the purse strings to enjoy the summer. “When you’re away from your normal routine, it’s easy to justify additional expenses as a few dollars here and there,” said Christensen. “But, this spending can really throw a savings plan of track. Every time you pull out your wallet, ask yourself if you need to be spending.” Even the best budgets can’t help you if they aren’t followed or aren’t an accurate picture of your spending. Many people don’t start thinking about effective tax strategies until February or March and by then, with the exception of RRSP contributions, it’s too late. “By being proactive, you can create an effective tax strategy—maximizing life stage changes, potential deductions and credits and RSP contributions,” said Christensen.

Kelowna teen ready for Star Showdown spotlight It’s a moment in the spotlight that helped jumpstart the early signing careers of Michael Buble and Carly Rae Jepson. Now a Kelowna teenager is hoping to see her music aspirations taken to another level at the PNE Star Showdown talent competition. Chantelle Betuzzi submitted a video audition and was chosen from some 2,000 entrants to be one of the 10 finalists. It was the third time that Betuzzi had auditions for the talent show. “The first time I entered two years there was a problem with the video getting transmitted, and the second time I think I wasn’t considered be-

cause of lack of performing experience,” she said. Here local performance resume includes singing at the Canada Day festivities in Lake Country, school event at Rutland Senior Secondary, the Bumpershoot children’s entertainment show, a jazz and blues festival in Vernon and local seniors’ homes. Betuzzi likes to write her own music, and has taught herself how to play keyboards, the baritone sax, the alto sax and the guitar. She has been writing her own songs and creating music for the last five years with one immediate goal in mind, to record an album.

“My parents have been really supportive of me up to now but my hope would be if I win this competition, there is a $5,000 prize, but what I really want to do with make an album in a recording studio,” she said. She is heading to Vancouver this weekend for the start of the PNE, to help get prepared for her competition by watching the talent show segment for younger performers “to get an idea of what I’m up against.” “It will just be me on stage with a piano singing. “There isn’t any microphone check or rehearsal. You just get up there on stage and show the judges what you’ve got.”

Vickers to appear at Turtle Island Acclaimed Canadian artist Roy Henry Vickers has teamed up with Robert “Lucky” Budd, a historian with a focus on preserving and restoring oral histories, to produce a new book released this spring, Raven Brings the Light. Vickers at a storytelling event and art show at the Turtle Island Gallery, 1151295 Cannery Lane, tonight (Thursday) from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The storytelling part of Vickers’ presentation is from 6:30 to 7 p.m.

Raven Brings the Light is a vivid portrayal of a classic First Nations legend, featuring 20 illustrations by Vickers. The tale has been traced back over 3,000 years. “This story belongs to the people of the Northwest Coast, where it has been passed from generation to generation for thousands of years,” said Vickers. “It is a great joy for me to share this in a new way. I hope through this story, thousands more will discover this important piece of our culture.”

▼ PET CARE

Low body energy one sign of trouble for puppies and kittens

ately I have been frequently asked about the care for newborn animals. Animals have very strong instincts when it

comes to caring for their newborn off-springs. However, both mother and babies need nurturing environment in order to thrive.

Unfortunately, in some cases the mother either rejects the babies or dead, so the care burden falls entirely on the pet owner.

Here is a very brief overview of the basic care for puppies and kittens. The most common reasons for newborn puppies/kittens loss are low

Well done Kelowna Hyundai!

THE SHOWROOM of Kelowna Hyundai showcased the first anniversary celebration of the dealership, all the while raising money for a primary school in Rwanda. At a fun event to mark the 1st anniversary and the dealership winning the President’s Award, Kelowna Hyundai managed to raise $11,000 toward the Kigali - Kacyiru Primary School in Rwanda. Run by an organization, “A Better World,” the school provides education for over 50 children, many of whom are orphans, and also allows them to have school supplies, a pair of shoes and a daily nutritious meal. Amongst many donated items that were auctioned there were 10 hand painted self-portraits created by orphans at the Kigali School which were also auctioned off. The evening was a huge success.

body temperature and lack of energy. Newborns are not able to regulate their body temperature. It is important to make sure the house temperature is warm enough, and that the area that the mother and litter are placed at is well padded, without exposure to the bare floor. Most mothers do all the work of taking care of the off springs themselves. Rarely the mother might ignore one or more of her off-springs. If that is the case and you notice that one or more of the babies are not being fed properly, you should encourage the baby to feed from the mother by placing it close to the nipple. If the natural nursing just isn’t working, you can find puppies and kittens milk replacement formulas at veterinarian clinics. The easiest way to feed the babies is with a special bottle meant for puppies/kittens. It is important to tip the bottle in an angle that will prevent air gulping. When you feed, let the baby suck the milk from the bottle on its own. Do not squeeze the milk into it’s mouth which might lead to milk aspiration into the lungs. Puppies and kittens are eating very frequently, newborns should be fed approximately every twohours. Puppies and kittens

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz are dependent on their mother on urination and defecation. The mother licks the back area which stimulated urination and defecation. In the absence of the mother, you should use a cotton ball, wet it with lukewarm water and rub the baby’s back area to mimic the mother’s action. When the baby reaches three weeks of age, they’re normally able to function on their own. When the babies are older and are able to control the elimination on their own, it’s time for house training. Cats are easy in this area—all you need is a litter box. You should place the kitten in the litter box and hold it’s front paws while mimicking the motion of digging in the litter. Usually one time is enough and the kitten will know where to go when it’s time to go. With dogs the situation is more complicated House training for puppies is a diverse subject that probably deserves an article on its own. I strongly suggest consulting with a train-

er about how to generally train your dog to follow basic orders and get house trained. Puppies and kittens are ready to be weaned and separated from their mother at the age of eight weeks. Puppies are recommended to receive a series of three vaccines, three to four weeks apart. The optimal timing for the first vaccine is eight weeks of age. Kittens are receiving a series of two vaccines, four weeks apart. Similarly to puppies, the optimal timing for the first vaccine is eight weeks of age. Rabies vaccine can be given to puppies and kittens older than 12 weeks of age. Puppies and kittens are very prone to worm infestation, hence they should be dewormed more often than adults. The deworming protocols differ between the different products used. Your veterinarian will instruct you what is the protocol recommended to your pet. Similarly to raising human babies, raising puppies and kittens is very intense and might get confusing and stressful. Please seek more information about this important topic with your pet’s veterinarian. Moshe Oz operates the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital at 2476 Westlake Rd. in West Kelowna.

Stroda proves best thrower but gets no medals for effort Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Aaron Stroda was unbeatable at the Canadian Legion Track and Field Championships in Langley, but didn’t get to bring home any hardware for his efforts. The Grade 12 student at Okanagan Mission Secondary posted the best numbers in all three throwing events he entered at the youth nationals in Langley Aug. 9 to 11, but was not awarded any medals due to an eligibility issue related to citizenship. Born in Germany, Stroda has been a permanent resident of Canada since 2006 but is not yet a Canadian citizen. According to Athletics Canada, athletes that do not have Canadian citizenship but are permanent residents of Canada can compete at national events but can not win championships. Athletics Canada informed Stroda and his family of the ruling prior

to the championships. “This situation was very hard for all of us and can throw an athlete off easily,” said Dirk Stroda,

‘‘

I AM NOT SURE IF ANY ATHLETE DOMINATED IN THREE DIFFERENT SINGLE EVENTS THIS WEEKEND AND IF ONE ATHLETE HAD EVER THROWN THE FURTHEST IN THREE THROWING COMPETITIONS AT THE SAME EVENT. Verena Stroda

Aaron’s dad and a mental performance coach for several Olympic champions. “Athletics Canada responded immediately to the situation. They will review the rule at their

next AGM, however they couldn’t make any immediate changes as it needs to be voted on by its members,” he said. “On the other hand Athletic Canada confirmed that Aaron would keep his previous national titles and medals.” Disappointed but undeterred by the ruling, Stroda made the best of a difficult situation heading into the competition in Langley. “I know that complaining about the situation wouldn’t help me at all in my preparation for the event,” said Stroda, who won six medals previously at nationals in 2011 and 2012. “You can’t change facts and rule books are full of facts. So I switched gears and focused on trying to have my best performances this year in Langley.” Stroda responded on day one of the nationals, topping the discus competition with a new personal best of 52.32 metres. On day two, he put in an-

other strong performance as he took the top spot in U-18 shot-put with a throw of 16.29 metres. He then rounded out a stellar weekend on day three with a career best toss of 57.94 metres, the best among all hammer throw competitors. “It is my intent to compete at junior nationals next year with a Canadian passport in my bag,” said Stroda. “In my heart I am already Canadian.” Aaron’s coach and mom, Verena Stroda, was proud of her son’s effort under such trying circumstances. “Overall, this weekend was difficult at the beginning and during the competition but at the end it can be described as epic,” she said. “I am not sure if any athlete dominated in three different single events this weekend and if one athlete had ever thrown the furthest in three throwing competitions at the same event. I guess it was something for the books.”

WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

KELOWNA’S AARON STRODA topped in three events at Canadian Legion track and field championships but due to an eligibility ruling made no trips to the podium.

▼ FOOTBALL

Okanagan Sun have win removed for rule violation The British Columbia Football Conference (BCFC) has announced it is stripping the Okanagan Sun of it’s win over the Valley Huskers in week one of the season for using what it has ruled was an ineligible player. The game between the Okanagan Sun and Valley Huskers was held at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna. According to the

BCFC the Sun registered and dressed an ineligible player, breaking BCFC rule and regulation 4.2 (b). The Sun are disputing the ruling with general manager Jay Christensen saying they plan to “aggressively” appeal the ruling. Christensen said the team won’t be making any comment until after a ruling on the appeal is

made. Sun player Curtis Kelly, who is from Ontario, played for the Hamilton Hurricanes of the Ontario Football Conference in 2012. He was not granted his requested release, therefore was still the property of the Hurricanes. Other teams cannot recruit, register or dress players while their rights

are held by their current team. The rule states “Should the player be ruled ineligible due to a major breech of eligibility rules (overage, suspension, unregistered and/ or other similar situation) the offending team shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $3,000 and forfeit game/s in which the ineligible player is on their ros-

ter.” In this case, the BCFC has ruled against the Okanagan Sun who will forfeit their victory to the Huskers. The records will show the Huskers recording a 1-0 victory over the Sun on July 27, 2013. “It was a decision not taken lightly by the BCFC,” said BCFC president Gord Johnson.

Your best source of community news—the Capital News

“We are working with the CJFL on ways to prevent such situations in the future.” Pending the result of the appeal the Sun’s overall record will be changed to reflect the forfeit, dropping them to 2-1. The Huskers record will also change, bumping them to 2-0-1 after week three of the 2013 BCFC season.

Heading into the second and final round of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s men’s open on the weekend, Jason Monteleone knew he would have to fire a low round to get himself into the winner’s circle. A former winner of the open, Monteleone carded an even par 72 to open the tournament, but found himself trailing by four strokes heading into the final round on Sunday. Four players had

shot opening round scores of 68 to hold the lead after the first round. But on Sunday it was Monteleone who would emerge from a tight pack to take the championship after firing a six under par 66, the lowest round of the event. Monteleone’s two day total of 138 was one stroke better than Vancouver’s Keith Martin, who also opened with a 72 and followed that with a 67 to finish one stroke behind

JASON JUST CAME FROM BEHIND WITH A GREAT ROUND TO BEAT EVERYONE. David Walker

There were 146 players in total competing at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club and a lot of solid golf was played. It was one of the closest men’s opens in recent memory with the top 10 players all finishing within six shots of each other. To open Sunday’s final round, Kelowna’s Matt Palahniuk got the excitement started when he fired a hole-in-one on

the downhill par three 9th hole, winning $5,000 for his efforts. Excitement and anticipation grew from there as viewers flooded the course to watch the final groups finish their rounds. “The weekend was a great success filled with great golf, lots of volunteers, smiling faces, and good company,” said Walker. “Thank you to all of those who volunteered their time to help the tournament run smooth and efficient. We’re already looking forward to next year’s men’s open and to see if Monteleone can hold onto the title.

Skateboarders of all ages and sizes showed up last weekend at the Orchard Park Mall in Kelowna as a local company hosted a learn to skateboard event. West 49 hosted the one day educational event designed as an introduction to the culture of skateboarding. Kids from 5 to 15 took part in the event, part of a cross Canada tour the company is putting on called LRN2SK8. The program is designed to help youth develop confidence and skills in a safe and supervised area. The Capital News sent photographer Doug Farrow to the event to capture some pictures.

â–ź PROVINCIALS

Local just misses medal in beach volleyball Kelownaâ€™s Quinci Birker had a nice tune-up for the Under-16 national beach volleyball championships coming up next weekend. Playing with her partner Thana Fayad, the pair finished fourth last weekend at the 2013 Under-17 provincial beach championships, held in Parksville.

Birker and Fayad entered the U-17 provincials, playing against older competition in the hopes of sharpening their skills. During round robin action on Saturday, the team won all four games in straight sets to finish atop their pool and move directly into the quarter finals.

The quarterfinal match-up on Sunday looked to be very tough as their opposition was a Team B.C. duo. However, Birker and Fayad moved through Team B.C. in two straight sets 21-11 and 21-15, advancing to the semi-finals where they would suffer their first loss of the season.

The loss put the pair in the bronze medal match against the team that won silver in last weeks U-18 provincials. The local girls battled hard but lost in a tiebreaker with the last game finishing 13-15. Having entered the higher age group, Birker and Fayad said they now have a better idea of what physical and mental skills

they need to work on to prepare for the Under-16 Canadian Beach Championship, to be held at Spanish Banks in Vancouver Aug. 23 to 25. That event will end the beach volleyball season and Birker will return to Kelowna where she will enter Grade 10 at KSS and tryout for the Owls volleyball team.

Fruit farmers devastated by crop damage

Parking and pet access still ongoing trail issues

Hail from A1 There’s been a substantial loss of the valuable table grape crop, he figures. Buta Ghuman, who grows not only apples but wine and table grapes on the bench above Kelowna, says all four locations where he grows were hit hard. Coronation table grapes, normally ready for harvest in the next week, were flung to the ground in bunches by the force of the wind and the hailstones, along with leaves and branches. Remaining fruit is oozing juice from the many berries that were sliced open, and hornets are gathering around the sweet blue bunches of broken fruit. On the five acres of Coronations he leases, Ghuman says he grossed $50,000 last year, and it’s a total loss. He estimates he’s paid out $15,000 already this year to grow that crop. He has no idea how he will manage with such a

INSURANCE

Even those who have crop insurance won’t receive even half the returns they would have from the crop, said Dukhia. Orchardists with younger trees will suffer because losses are estimated from the potential crop sales based on several years of crops from

immature trees. However, Gary Falk, director of the business risk management branch of the local agriculture ministry office, explains that growers receive some basic hail insurance when they purchase overall production insurance coverage before December of the previous year, but they then have the option of increasing the hail insurance part of their cover-

age later in the growing year, as they see the size of crop they have and gain a better estimate of its value—to ensure they’re adequately covered. Coverage can be topped up at any time to 80 per cent of probable yield, up until hail damage has occurred. This week’s damage occurred in an isolated area south of KLO Road, in the Spiers and Swamp Road area. He says initial assessments indicate 25 to 30 growers have received severe damage, while another 25 to 30 sustained moderate damage. Some crops will be write-offs, he said, while in some instances even the trees sustained damage. Growers estimate that even cleaning up orchards where the crop has been destroyed will cost $27 a bin more for picking and hauling. Dukhia intends to invite B.C. Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm to come to Kelowna and see the damage firsthand. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Upgrades from A1 That first phase finished at the Powers Creek Bridge. The second phase ran from the Powers Creek Bridge to the intersection of Gellatly Road and Angus Drive. Council gave early budget approval to the most recent set of upgrades in January; construction began in March and the project was mostly completed by Canada Day, in time for the Westside Daze fireworks display. The federal gas tax fund provided $800,000 toward the cycling and pedestrian components of the project. Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas said the improvements will create a more inviting atmosphere. “Personally, I run this length here on a fairly regular basis when I’m in the riding. What I see is seniors walking, athletes running and a lot of families walking and enjoying the Okanagan sun and water,” said Albas. The project was also made possible thanks to $994,000 from developer contributions and the remaining $1.36 million was funded through the district’s reserves. Although the public has had mostly positive things to say about the upgrades, two issues have come to light, according to Findlater. “There is less parking overall, but most people seem to be managing that,” said Findlater. In particular, vehicles carrying boat

trailers have raised a few concerns. “People with the boat trailers are finding, at peak times, it’s tight. But they do have access to the private lot if they want to pay. The idea of creating stalls on the street is problematic because (boat trailers) take up two or three stalls; the public is not going to be very happy about that.” The other issue is less space in the waterfront dog park. “It is narrower overall because the fence has allowed (pedestrians) to move through there, unimpeded. It’s fine now that the water has dropped, but at high water, yes it was a concern for a number of people,” Findlater said. The mayor said he has suggested staff look into what can be done in the next phase of upgrades to create a bit more space for dog owners who utilize the area. The District of West Kelowna recently awarded Stantec Consulting Ltd. the design assignment for phase four Gellatly Road upgrades. The project will include improvements on Gellatly Road from Carrington Road to the intersection of Gellatly and Boucherie Roads and will tie in to the works completed in phase three of the project. Findlater said the next phase of improvements will likely be expensive as there’s not only road work, but also rehabilitation to Smith Creek that will need to be done. Pending council’s approval, phase four upgrades could be ready for tender in early 2014.

WFN artist creates her own template The Butler delves Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

“Water is so important to us,” says Marion Radawetz, a Westbank First Nations artist making a splash in her community. Presented at the WFN Heritage Offices and Repository in the Governor’s Landing building off Highway 97 as part of the 60 Artists in 60 Days initiative the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan is hosting, Radawetz’s jewelry is both unique to the show, as it’s jewelry, and groundbreaking within the artistic community of the WFN. Unlike, the prolific First Nations artists on the coast who have turned jewelry making into a notable industry married to coastal tourism, gold and silver rings and pendants are not something anyone within the Interior Salish community has been making. And it took Radawetz half a lifetime to work up to the task. “I didn’t pursue it for a long time because of the capital investment,” she explained. “Just the tools cost $10,000.” Add to that the fact she would literally be trailblazing an entire art form, and she admits the task was daunting. But her mother, who is imbued with the same artistic spirit, saw that the fine, detailed artistry was in her daughter’s hands. She encouraged her to set aside her work advising on First Nations issue in government and in the hospitality industry to pursue the life of an artist. Radawetz trained in Kelowna under a metalsmith who instilled a healthy fear of the small knives and razors capable

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

MARION Radawetz makes the rings for WFN high school graduates and is one of 10 to 15 Syilx/Okanagan Nation artists featured in the 60 Artists in 60 Spaces exhibit running throughout the Central Okanagan from Aug. 2 to Sept.27. For more information, check out the website www.artsco.ca. of slicing right through a finger tht she how uses to craft her pieces. Then she set about building her first creations. Radawetz focuses on the c’pcaptik,’ the oral history passed down through her community and extensive family; she is a Derrickson by birth. Her art draws heavily on the bear and coyote, both represented in the WFN logo, the eagle, dragonfly and even salamander. And she believes each piece has a spirit “For me, the eagle has

Marion Radawetz more of a global vision of things, not such a bird’s eye view,” she said as she rattled off a string of qualities associated with each

entity she includes. The bear, representing strength and courage, is on her signature piece. For the past five years, she has been making the grad rings every WFN graduate who completes high school receives. “I’ve always loved jewelry because, to me, it’s always been a measurement of time,” she said. “You always know when and where it came from and where it’s been, and you know it’s been on a journey.”

The grad rings, a small band with a bear paw resting on top, will be family heirlooms, something the students can pass down to their own children when they reach graduation. It’s been challenging developing her art without a lineage to follow, other artists who might pass on knowledge of the craft, she said. By and large, all of the Coast Salish artists work from well-worn templates of what the animals and images they represent look like. In Radawetz’s work, even the making decisions about which animals to represent, which stories from her history should be recognized in the work and exactly how to represent the culture is entirely in her hands. The Interior Salish people have only been colonized for 200 years, she explained, and trading for gold and silver, as the coastal First Nations peoples would have done, was not of value. So she focuses on animals facing extinction and ensures almost every piece references water, reflections, the lifeblood of the valley. Radawetz’s work will be on display for the next month in the WFN Heritage Offices and Repository. The 60 Artists, 60 Spaces will run over the course of the next two months throughout the Central Okanagan with artwork from area artists displayed in a wide variety of locations.

ee Daniels’ The MOVIE Butler is probably GUY going to be the most remembered movie opening this weekend and even into awards season. If you are wondering who Lee Daniels is Rick and why his name is beDavis fore the title (especially with superstars like Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker among the cast), it is for two reasons. Daniels was producer on both Monster’s Ball and Precious, which was based on the novel “Push” by Sapphire which he also directed. The other reason is a dispute over the title The Butler which Warner Brothers held the rights to. To be able to use the title, the producers had to add Daniels’ name to the title. Not a bad compromise as his name adds even more credibility and the dispute created publicity for the movie. Whitaker plays the real life character Cecil Gaines, who worked as a White House butler for eight presidents from 1952 to 1986. From a unique perspective, he and his wife (Winfrey) experienced some of the most dramatic political and social changes in history. Yet another comic book superhero sequel is being released this weekend, but this is not one for the entire family. Three years ago, the violent and crude Kick-Ass was released and became a cult hit, earning over $90 million on a $30 million budget. It created controversy because of its violence and profanity, especially because much of it was performed by then 13-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz as Hit Girl. She’s back in Kick-Ass 2 but Hit Girl is being forced by her parents to hang up her costume and try to

super-villain army. Paranoia stars Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Richard Dreyfuss, Embeth Davidtz and Liam Helmsworth. Helmsworth plays a young low-level employee at a technology firm who jeopardizes his job when he pulls a prank. His superiors give him the chance to save his job if he agrees to an undercover corporate espionage assignment at a rival company. Although being a corporate spy nets him a cor-

have a normal life in high school. Aaron Taylor-Johnson returns as the title character and joins a team of superheroes led by costumed vigilante Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey). However, Hit Girl’s retirement does not last long when the Red Mist (Christopher MintzPlasse) is reborn to exact revenge for his father’s death in the last movie and plans to create a

ner office and the life of his dreams, he soon finds himself trapped in a war between two tycoons. In Jobs, Ashton Kutcher stars as Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.

here are so many fabulous events happening this summer in the Okanagan that my head is spinning. We enjoyed the first official Diner en Blanc earlier this summer and are looking forward to the upcoming Feast of Fields happening Aug. 18 at Kelowna’s Little Church Organics. Tickets are $95 and available at Choices Markets or online at www. farmfolkcityfolk.ca *** The inaugural Food Wine Film event is also just around the corner, taking place Sept. 13,14 and 15. I will be offering a special tour featuring stars from my cookbook, The Butcher, The Baker, The Wine & Cheese Maker on Sept. 14—check the website www.okanaganfoodwinefilmfestival.com for details.

*** The team at Hester Creek Winery is excited to announce the first annual Garlic Festival coming up Sept. 29 at the Oliver winery—go to www. hestercreek.com for details. Sounds like a stinking good time! *** When celebrating at home this summer, be sure to support local and shop at our local farmers market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. When that is not possible in your busy schedule, the Urban Fare store in Mission Shopping Centre is the next best thing. Urban Fare is a huge supporters of our local farmers and artisans, as the store carries a huge array of local produce and products. Did you know Urban Fare sells Monika’s bread and baguettes (Okanagan Grocery Artisan Breads) and a delectable array of Sandrine’s chocolates, cakes and desserts (Sandrine French Pastry & Chocolate). Also look for local cheese, crackers, preserves, pizza shells on the Urban Fare store aisles. My favourite chicken

Stay tuned for a mini farmers market style event Sept. 7 and 8 at Urban Fare, giving shoppers the opportunity to meet many of their local suppliers and try out their products. And don’t forget Urban Fare has a licensed restaurant in the store and serves local wines. *** A dear friend wowed me at my birthday lunch a couple of weeks ago with a stunning fruit salad served in an ice bowl that had flowers frozen inside of it. I highly recommend trying this at your next dinner party.

ArtWalk 2013 Presents:

Johnny Vallis:

If you don’t want to use flowers, you can be creative and use whatever leaves or other herbs you would like. Cranberries would be beautiful during the Christmas season. You can vary the shape of the container to your like as well. To make your own fruit salad served in an ice bowl, follow the directions below: Use freezer proof glass or plastic bowls, any size you with one bigger than the other, depending what you serve and for how many guests. Fill the bigger bowl part way with water; drop in a cup or so of fresh flowers, blossoms, herbs, berries or leaves. Put a smaller bowl in the big bowl and fill the little bowl with ice cubes to weigh it down. The smaller bowl needs to be positioned in the middle of the large bowl and has to touch the bottom of the big bowl. Put it into the freezer overnight or even longer. Place the serving flower ice bowl onto a matching size of a plate (it needs to be frozen solid). Carefully run hot water from a tap over the outside of the bowl to release it. Leave it on the plate and put it back into the freezer ready to be used at any time to fill with fresh fruit salads, vegetables— use you imagination! Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C. Wine Trails Magazine.

Since 2010, approximately $5 million has been invested in Gellatly Road, transforming it into a multi-use corridor. The first phase of improvements started at The Cove Lakeside Resort and finished at the Powers Creek Bridge. The second phase ran from the Powers Creek Bridge to the intersection of Gellatly Road and Angus Drive. Council gave early budget approval to the most recent set of upgrades in January; construction began in March and the project was mostly completed by Canada Day, in time for the Westside Daze fireworks display. The federal gas tax fund provided $800,000 toward the cycling and pedestrian components of the project. Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas said the improvements will create a more inviting atmosphere. “Personally, I run this length here on a fairly regular

basis when I’m in the riding. What I see is seniors walking, athletes running and a lot of families walking and enjoying the Okanagan sun and water,” said Albas.

The District of West Kelowna recently awarded Stantec Consulting Ltd. the design assignment for phase four Gellatly Road upgrades. The project will include improvements on Gellatly Road from Carrington Road to the intersection of Gellatly and Boucherie Roads and will tie in to the works completed in phase three of the project. Findlater said the next phase of improvements will likely be expensive as there’s not only road work, but also rehabilitation to Smith Creek that will need to be done. Pending council’s approval, phase four upgrades could be ready for tender in early 2014.

serves. Although the public has had mostly positive things to say about the upgrades, two issues have come to light, according to Findlater. “There is less parking overall, but most people seem to be managing that,” said Findlater. In particular, vehicles carrying boat trailers have raised a few concerns. “People with the boat trailers are finding, at peak times, it’s tight. But they do have access to the private lot if they want to pay. “The idea of creating stalls on the street is problematic because (boat trailers) take up two or three stalls; the public is not going to be very happy about that.” The other issue is less space in the waterfront dog park. “It is narrower overall because the fence has allowed (pedestrians) to move through there, unimpeded. It’s fine now that the water

Jason Monteleone wins Kelowna G&CC Open Heading into the second and final round of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s men’s open on the weekend, Jason Monteleone knew he would have to fire a low round to get himself into the winner’s circle. A former winner of the open, Monteleone carded an even par 72 to open the tournament, but found himself trailing by four strokes heading into the final round on Sunday. Four players had shot opening round scores of 68 to hold the lead after the first round. But on Sunday it was Monteleone who would emerge from a tight pack to take the championship after firing a six under par 66, the lowest round of the event. Monteleone’s two

day total of 138 was one stroke better than Vancouver’s Keith Martin, who also opened with a 72 and

try Club manager David Walker. There were 146 players in total competing at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club and a lot of solid golf was played. It was one of the closest men’s opens in recent memory with the top 10 players all finishing within six shots of each other. To open Sunday’s final round, Kelowna’s Matt Palahniuk got the excitement started when he fired a hole-in-one on the downhill par three 9th hole, winning $5,000 for his efforts. Excitement and anticipation grew from there as viewers flooded the course to watch the final groups finish their rounds. “The weekend was a great success filled with great golf, lots of volun-

Off-season busy for the Warriors By Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

It’s been a busy month for the West Kelowna Warriors as the B.C. Hockey League team gets set for another season of junior A hockey at Royal LePage Place.

This week the Warriors are wrapping up its second annual hockey school, where 40 kids are getting put through their paces by the Warriors coaching staff and some returning players. At the same time veteran players are returning

to West Kelowna in preparation for the opening of the Warriors’ training camp next week. It all means one thing to Warriors’ head coach/ GM Rylan Ferster: It’s hockey season once again. “It’s fun, I’m really excited to get it going,” said Ferster. “Our year last year was pretty successful. We finished second and got to the conference final and having the guys moving on with scholarships. Now we’re excited for another year.” The Warriors will open its main camp next Thursday with 40 players looking to crack the team, including 10 returning players from last year as well as a handful of veterans brought in through various trades in the off-season. Ferster says there will be good competition at camp, both amongst the veterans looking to move up the depth chart and for rookies looking to make the squad. Above all the coach is looking for good players and good people to make sure the chemistry on the team is solid. “I think first and foremost you have to be a good teammate and a

good person,” he said. “I think it’s so important to have good chemistry in the dressing room. It’s so detrimental if your room is not clicking for one reason or another. But when you have good chemistry the sky is the limit because you have guys playing for each other.” The Warriors begin main camp next Thursday and will skate twice a day for three days leading into a three game exhibition schedule. Ferster says every player that attends camp will get at least one exhibition game to prove himself with the coach expected to make his first cuts after the team’s exhibition opener at home against Penticton on Aug. 25. The Warriors and Vees will also play Aug. 26 in Penticton with West Kelowna wrapping up the exhibition season Aug. 31 against Vernon at RLP. The Warriors open the regular season in Chilliwack at the 2nd Annual BCHL Showcase on Sept. 6 vs. Surrey and Sept. 7 vs. Nanaimo. The Warriors will hold its home opener on Friday, Sept. 13 when they host the Merritt Centennials at 7 p.m. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Hundreds attend Art in the Park Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The breathtaking view from Harvest Terrace at Quails’ Gate Estate Winery wasn’t necessarily the focus of the winery’s visitors this past Saturday. Instead, hundreds looked closely at the pieces of art displayed by local artists as part of the sixth annual Art in the Park. According to Christy Staunton, community recreation coordinator, Art in the Park has grown to bring in about 400 people

each of the two days it runs annually. “It’s an opportunity for local artists to kind of get out and show their work; it’s not very often they get that opportunity,” said Staunton. “It’s a beautiful venue and it doesn’t cost them anything.” The opportunity is open to all visual artists and the planning typically begins about six months earlier. “We put out a call for interest usually in February or March…we haven’t had to cut any artists

lately, because we haven’t had huge numbers. But if we do get high numbers, we have a jury that would go through and pick.” Louise Lambert was one of several artists showing off her work at Quails’ Gate Saturday. She helped orchestrate the Art in the Park concept six years ago. “West Kelowna is a little shy in their art events. We want to promote more activities here—this was one of our first,” said Lambert. Lambert said she appreciates the value of hav-

ing hundreds of sets of eyes looking at her work, which focuses on the culture surrounding wine. The two-part event will continue this Saturday at the lakeside Rotary Park at Boucherie and Carrall Roads from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Artists who plan to display their work include: Cherie Wasyliw, Lillian Sokil, Louise Lambert, Michele Kienas, Natasha Campbell, Sandy McEachem, Stella Tessier, Teri Paul and Ute Hilligweg. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com
