JOHN ANDERSON, of Kelowna’s Bean Scene Coffee Works checks beans he’s roasting. Inset: coffee beans before roasting.
Coffee has become big business across North America in the last 20 years, as the popularity of the drink—especially in the form of lattes—has grown. But a few coffee bean roasters in Kelowna say there’s much more to coffee than a drink fortified with milk. Like winemakers do with grapes, they are pulling unique flavours from the coffee bean and want to educate the palettes of coffee drinkers here so they will appreciate the seemingly simple espresso.

Search for the best coffee bean brew Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
W
hen Kelowna’s Al Lang heads to Seattle next month to compete in the Latte Art World Championships, he won’t just be going as a competitor. Lang, who is relatively new to the world of coffee, will also be there as a judge. But he won’t be judging other baristas’ art in a cup. He will be judging the coffee itself in an associated competition for coffee bean roasters. The operator of Kelowna’s Bean Scene Coffee Works near Landmark Square has been asked to judge in the espresso category, adjudicating the quality of the beans used to make the rich, small, dark drink that is so popular around the world. And to hear Lang talk about what he looks for in a good espresso, he sounds like a judge in competitions dealing with that other popular Okanagan product—wine. “I’ll be looking for aroma, body, as well the fruity notes from the bean itself,” says Lang. The 44-year-old, who used to be a hotel man-
ager before getting into the coffee business just over a year ago, admits he was surprised to be asked to judge at the annual CoffeeFest. The competition will draw hundreds of competitors from all over western North America, as many as 10,000 attendees, and will include a large trade show. Later in the month, the Canadian equivalent, the Brewers Cup, will take place in Vancouver. While Seattle and the Pacific Northwest have become coffee central over the last 20 years, coffee culture has grown elsewhere, as demonstrated by the huge popularity of coffee shop chains such as Starbucks and Tim Hortons. But it’s the mushrooming growth of independent coffee shops that’s really helping to fuel the growing popularity of coffee bean roasting and the seemingly simple, yet complex espresso. And with it, the popularity of the roasters who bring the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, flavours out of the beans they roast. “I think of us (at the Bean Scene) as being in
the business of educating people’s palettes,” says Lang. ••• When it comes to roasting coffee beans, just about anyone can do it, Lang says. But not everyone can do it well. Similar to popping corn, coffee beans are heated until they crack and release oils and sugars. And that’s what give them their taste. “You could roast beans in a popcorn maker,” says Lang. “It’s the same process but they would come out tasting like crap.” Typically a coffee bean cracks twice when being roasted. Taken out after the first crack gives a lighter roast and after the second, a darker roast. But, depending on the beans used, their origin, the ability of the roaster and a myriad of other, more subtle factors such as the amount of air used, the temperature, and attributes of the roasting machine itself, many different tasting notes can be brought out. At Kelowna’s Cherry Hill Coffee, a larger wholesale producer as well as selling to individual buyers, creating
AL Lang, who owns the Bean Scene Coffee Works in Kelowna, has been recruited as a judge for the upcoming Latte Art World Championship in Seattle.

a wide selection of coffees is an everyday occurrence. James Calder, Cherry Hill’s director of marketing, says like grapes used for wine making, the origin of coffee beans will influence the flavour notes in the final product because of the earth they are grown in and the weather conditions. Also like wine-mak-
ing, Calder says coffee aficionados have their own tasting wheels that describe those flavour notes using descriptions one may not readily think of when speaking about coffee. Citrus, for instance, is not something one necessarily thinks of when drinking coffee according to roasters its a wellknown flavour note.
In fact, Ethiopian coffee beans are known to have more citrus flavour than beans from other parts of the world. “Different beans are also handled differently because of the flavours that can be brought out of them,” says Calder. Unlike the micro-roastery at the Bean Scene, Cherry Hill creates much larger volumes. But both
rely on the expertise of the roaster to create the finished product. Just as a wine-maker creates a given vintage using his or her knowhow, a roaster does the same. At Cherry Hill, it’s a family affair. The business owners, brothers David and Jeff Biglow and David’s stepson Tim, serve as the roasters. The company was started by their father 25 years ago. All three have many years experience working with the beans. “Here it’s old school,” said Calder, noting that despite its commercial size, roasting is still done by hand, there are no computer controllers. The large roasting machine the company uses dates back to the 1950s. Over at the Bean Scene, owner John Anderson also serves as the roaster. And while he admits he has to think like a businessman, his passion really comes across when he talks about roasting the beans. For me, it’s a visual experience,” he says. “I visualize taste.”

lighter roasts. But, he is quick to admit that if he did not create dark roasts as well, he would go out of business. “That’s what a lot of people want, so I have to do it,” he says. “But, if I could just get people to tinker with no cream and no sugar (in their coffee), I’d be through the roof.” While he admits the popularity of lattes has driven coffee culture to the heights it is today, he sees change coming but maybe not in smaller communities like Kelowna. “If I was doing what I
do here in somewhere like Seattle, Portland or Vancouver, I would have lineups out the door,” says Anderson. But, he said, the population base is just not here for that. Undeterred, he plugs on. Unlike the larger commercial operations, Anderson’s Bean Scene roastery is much smaller in scale. It supplies the coffee for the handful of Bean Scene coffee shops and a few others but it does not wholesale its products. Despite that, there is a similarity when you talk to both Anderson and

Calder about the creative process used for roasting beans. Neither company uses computers to set times or control the roasting process. They both rely on the knowledge and experience of the person operating the roasting machine.

Espresso Graf, as it is know, is what Anderson describes as his “baby.” “I believe you learn from people who are better than you and then you honour them by trying to make it better.” In doing so, he has

ury of providing a range of roasts for its customers, both individual and corporate. Using only organic beans, Cherry Hill, like the Bean Scene, seeks out single source beans only, meaning each batch comes from a single farm and are not mixed with beans from other farms. And, like other commodities, coffee beans are traded on the market at prices that fluctuate. That can mean sources can differ from time to time. Calder says currently there is a blight affecting beans in Central America, and that will likely mean a shortage next year from that part of the world. Beans from different areas are also handled differently because they produce different flavours, he says. But despite all the variances, in the end, it is the roaster who brings out the flavour in the bean and that is what makes that perfect cup of coffee. For Al Lang, finding the perfect espresso will be his job next month in Seattle. And he’s looking forward to the task. “I taste coffee all day here as part of my job, so I think I’m up to it.” awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Developer eyes pier, marina to complement hotel
2514 Hwy. 97 (at Hwy.33), Kelowna
(250) 861-9321
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The man behind Kelowna’s new public pier and marina says he’s excited the facility is finally complete and is looking forward to making it
part of a bigger development that he hopes will help transform the downtown area. Phil Milroy, owner of Westcorp, the Edmonton developer that built the $5.1-million pier for the city, said his plans for a
507 Granville Ave. Enderby
(250) 838-9321
www.AshleyFurnitureHomeStore.com
boutique hotel on the site of the former Willow Inn at Mill Street and Queensway are well underway. He hopes to break ground on that project in the coming months. “We’re very excited,” said Milroy.
“The Okanagan Valley is a rare and unique piece of geography and I believe the sweet spot is between The Sails (sculpture at the foot of Bernard Avenue) and the entrance to the (new) pier.” Milroy said he likes
what the city is doing to improve Bernard Avenue, as well as the current ongoing plans for the downtown lakeshore, such as a new Kelowna Yacht Club building and expansion of Jim Stuart Park now that the Water Street Seniors Centre is gone. Westcorp’s proposed hotel, which will include a street level commercial component and an enhanced public space, is expected to also include a multi-storey building and have between 140 and 200 rooms. Milroy said while it is too early to say exactly how tall the “tower” will be, it is a far cry from the original plan to build three towers in excess of 20 storeys on the land. That plan, of which Westcorp’s development was part, was known as the CD21, a comprehensive development zone proposed for the entire area around Bernard. Westcorp provided the seed funding for that zone plan, which called for a massive redevelopment of the area. But the plan was met with substantial opposition from the public and was ultimately rejected by the previous Kelowna city council. Westcorp’s original concept also nixed the city’s original plan for Jim Stuart Park, as it was announced just days before the city finalized its first plan for the park. As a result, the park’s development was delayed. But with the park now in place, the marina now complete—it is slated to officially open today— and a revamped plan for the hotel, Milroy said he is prepared to proceed again. Describing the new development concept as “vastly” different from the original plan, he said his company has been working closely with the city to make sure what is proposed fits with the Kelowna’s downtown plan. “We need to be very mindful of what people will think of the (development),” Milroy told the Capital News in an interview Thursday, in part because of the high profile of the location. “Downtowns are very important areas of any city,” he said. “We want to do something that will be iconic.” How exactly the hotel development will look and how it will tie in with the new pier and marina has yet to be revealed. But Milroy said his company’s desire to build and operate the pier and

Beware of fall season tick bites Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It may only be the size of a poppy seed, but its bite could be fatal at worst, and could cause severe sickness at best— particularly if incorrectly diagnosed at first. And, contrary to the Rocky Mountain Wood Tick (Dermacentor andersoni), which can cause paralysis and carry disease too, the Western Black-legged Tick (Ixodes pacificus) carries Lyme Disease and is commonly found at this time of year as well as in spring, when the wood tick is common. West Kelowna resident Jim Wilson, founder and president of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, warns that autumn is an important time of year for people to be aware that this tick continues to be looking for a blood meal until temperatures drop a few degrees below freezing. In the past, federal and provincial health authorities denied that the Lyme Disease-carrying tick was a concern in the Okanagan. But Wilson says government health officials just didn’t look for it in the right sort of habitat or the right time of year. The wood tick is found in hot, dry areas, particu-
New hotel to be ‘iconic’ development Developer from A6 marina through a contractor is not about making money—it is about improving the area for the hotel development. Westcorp has contracted out the operation of the marina for the first three years to a group Milroy described as “basically the people at the Hotel Eldorado.” In return for building, maintaining and operating the pier and marina, Westcorp gets to keep any revenue it makes—mainly through gasoline sales from a new marine gas station and from shortterm moorage rentals. The new hotel is slated to take between 20 and 30 months to build once it gets approval from the city. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

JIM Wilson at a public rally held in 2009 to raise awareness of lyme disease in the Okanagan. larly in spring and early summer, while theblacklegged tick is more likely to be found in leaf litter, tall grass or brush, along lakesides or streams or in ravines, where it’s moist—and in fall rather than just spring. “They looked in the wrong places at the wrong time,” he commented. Both federal and provincial authorities now accept that Lyme Disease can be contracted from a tick bite in the Okanagan,
but there’s still a reluctance in the medical community, he said. While the federal government admits that the most common test for Lyme Disease is not reliable, treatment for it is still based on that test, he says. “It’s absurd,” he adds. Wilson contracted Lyme Disease in 1991 in Nova Scotia and his daughter was bitten in B.C. in 2001 and ended up with Lyme Disease and that prompted him to
found CanLyme. She ended up with a pacemaker, but is otherwise over the disease, as is he. Both were treated for Lyme Disease. Wilson says migratory birds tend to move the ticks around, carrying disease in their blood and infecting new ticks who bite them. The role of deer is in overwintering ticks in their fur, without becoming ill with the disease themselves. To prevent being bitten, he advises you spray with a product containing DEET around your pantlegs or ankles, wrists, waist and neckline and don’t walk in tall grasses. Once you’re home from a hike, check yourself thoroughly, particularly around the hairline and in private areas. To remove a tick, pull it slowly and gently, without twisting, using your fingers or tweezers. Treat the wound with antiseptic. jsteeves@kelowncapnews.com

letter of the week Recalling the need to quit smoking forever
To the editor: After reading Charlie Hodge’s column: Regret for Developing a Smoking Habit (Sept. 13, Capital News), I felt moved to share my story. I started smoking when I was 16 (1956) when smoking was still socially acceptable and encouraged. I remember (with embarrassment) standing in front of the Westbank cafe (our local hangout) with a cigarette dangling from the corner of my mouth and wearing sunglasses, trying to look cool. Back then, smoking wasn’t considered a serious health risk and wasn’t associated with cancer. I worked in the auto body trade for 30 years repairing and painting vehicles, breathing in fumes from lead, mercury and other deadly toxic chemicals designed to destroy your health—and it did. I developed a persistent cough, so I went to have my lungs x-rayed. My doctor told me that the bottom of my lungs were filled with gunk and were starting to collapse. Faced with an unhealthy

Regulator takes its reading on smart meters
D
espite efforts to keep the smart meter “controversy” alive by repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a final offer to holdouts. You want to keep your old mechanical meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings. These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project.
As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay customers. The Tom meters were approved, Fletcher and the findings are instructive. The BCUC report notes that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave radiation” that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear. One of the experts retained by FortisBC was Dr. Yakov Shkolnikov, an electrical engineer with advanced degrees from Princeton and Cornell Uni-
VICTORIA VIEWS
versities. His testimony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illustrates the absurdity of this whole discussion. Shkolnikov calculated that a cell phone in use generates radio signals that reach 10 per cent of the international safety code limit. A microwave oven generates 2.3 per cent of the safe limit. A cordless phone: 1.25 per cent. A wi-fi signal: 0.0045 per cent. A bank of smart meters, not separated by a wall, registers 0.0019 per cent. The natural background RF level is 0.013 per cent. Note the decimal place. The level in the middle of a wilderness is more than 10 times that received from a bank of meters. BCUC staff added, for comparison, the radio signal level emitted by a human body. It’s 0.018 per cent. What this means is your spouse snoring be-
side you is a stronger source of RF than a whole wall of smart meters. Experts put up by opponents didn’t fare so well. One was Jerry Flynn, a retired Canadian Forces officer from Kelowna who travels around taking readings, talking to elderly people about alleged hazards of meters, and making claims to the media about what he has called the single biggest threat to human health today. The BCUC found his military experience not “relevant,” and his evidence frequently “incorrect, exaggerated and/or unsubstantiated.” Then there was Curtis Bennett, who described himself as “chief science officer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. In a 2012

One rat does not make an infestation To the editor: I was quite annoyed to see your all-encompassing, sensational front page headline in the Sept, 19 Capital News, “Rats Infesting Glenmore.” We have a home in
north Glenmore and another in old Glenmore that we have owned for the last 12 and seven years respectively. In that time I have never seen one rat on either property or the surrounding neighbourhood.
Not one rat! No rat droppings, nothing. But apparently we are infested with them! Really!! Come on, give us Glenmore residents a break! You really should
think twice before you paint everyone with the same brush!! This kind of headline is just irresponsible! It sounds like a few people leave out too much loose compost, vegetables
and meat scraps and of course they are going to attract rodents, if we have any! Gord Hammond, Kelowna

Give council the boot if tourist info goes in park To the editor: Re: City officials considering building tourist info centre in Kelowna’s City Park. Many citizens are asking why city officials are showing disrespect to the public and desecrating beautiful City Park with a tourist information centre. A big reason is the narcissistic city officials have gone berserk with obsession for image and showing off and will say, do and deny anything to get their way. The public have loudly said “no” to any tourist information building in City Park. More than 100 people wrote in to city hall and there have been 2,700 online visits. Council acknow-
ledged the overwhelming public displeasure and outrage. Coun. Maxine Dehart stated: “the public has spoken.” Coun. Mohini Singh stated: “We do care about what the people think. They spoke, we heard.” Mayor Gray stated: “We listened and learned.” Instead of following the public, the insincere, conniving council followed Coun. Andre Blanleil’s fanaticism to have a revised 6,000 sq.-ft. tourist facility building in City Park. Only Coun. Gerry Zimmermann showed leadership and respect by agreeing with the public. When the public says “no” they mean “no.”
By keeping the tourist information facility in the park plan, the council insulted every citizen with a slap to the face. Obviously, citizens can’t believe or trust council. Trying to reason with the mayor and council is almost impossible, because they are lost in their self-admiring, narcissistic business bubble. They arrogantly think they know what is best. Already, they wasted $800,000 on a “peek-aboo” loo without public input. Now they want to rip up the beautiful Veendam rose garden for a non-conforming tourist information centre to accommodate the chamber of commerce, the Downtown
Business Association and predatory groups like Four Change, etc. To rip up pristine parkland to serve this business establishment is inconsiderate, irresponsible and deplorable. Being completely obsessed in digging up the sacred Veendam rose gardens beside the sacred cenotaph area for a tourist facility building, council and planners have lost sight of the spirit and intent of the public’s treasure—City Park. The spirit and intent of City Park is to preserve its beauty, serenity, solemnity, sacredness for the maximum enjoyment of all citizens and to uplift their souls. It was never intended to be sacrificed, desecrated
and prostituted for a tourist centre to lure in tourists for the downtown business establishment. The disrespect and contempt for the citizens and City Park by the arrogant “business over everything” mayor and council are disgusting and shameful. Except for Coun. Zimmermann, they all deserve to be kicked off council. Don’t let the disrespectful, dictatorial mayor and council wreck our beautiful park. Give them a warning—either eliminate the entire tourist facility building proposed for City Park immediately or get booted off council at election time. Robert Cichocki, Kelowna
Change of life secures healthy longevity Smoking from A10 and shortened lifespan, I decided to quit smoking for good. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. After having quit before with little effort, I really struggled when I needed to quit the most. After 10 months of quitting and starting again, I felt the mental and physical suffering from trying to quit was worse than smoking, so I gave up trying to quit. But the damage was already done. My immune and respiratory sys-
tems were greatly compromised. I was prone to getting sick and coughed continuously for three months each year for many years. If that wasn’t bad enough, my hair started falling out. And when I took a whiff of paint fumes, my lips would go numb and I felt hot spots in my body, and developed blotches on my skin. My sense of smell and taste diminished. I had co-workers die from lung cancer, brain tumour and respiratory illness and others who had
to quit working due to illness caused by inhaling dust and chemicals. After working in the toxic environment for 30 years, while smoking up to two packs of cigarettes a day, I left to regain my health and the 30 years of potential life lost on the job. Since my departure in 1990, when I was 50, (not from Earth, but from my job), I have been practicing and teaching Qigong-Tai chi and my health has slowly and surely improved. This past winter my
It’ll cost you to keep that old hydro meter Fletcher from A10 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.” The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on
the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.” Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed
with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Would you like this circus of quackery to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense? Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
wife insisted that I go to see a doctor, because I was coughing at night, disturbing her sleep. I had my lungs x-rayed and went to a respiratory specialist for tests. When I went back for the results, my doctor told me that my lungs were normal, and I had good lung capacity. I am so grateful to Qigong-Tai chi exercise for restoring my health. We all know that stress is the underlying cause of many illnesses and addictions, but did you know that ‘sitting’ is the new ‘smoking’?
It gives a whole new meaning to the saying: You lazy bum. I want to thank Charlie Hodge for sharing his story and hope that a pair of healthy lungs is waiting for him. I urge everybody to take responsibility for their health and life. Now I am going to get off my ass, and take my 72-year-rejuvenated body out to practice Qigong-Tai chi. Have a health, playful day.

The commissioner of the Canadian Football League says the success of the league is, in part, dependent on the success of junior football in this country.

very supportive of junior football in this country because it can produce great Canadian talent. In recent years, B.C. Junior Football League stars like Andrew Harris and Steven Doege have made it to the CFL—both now with the B.C. Lions. Cohon said if the league is to continue to grow, it needs to not only attract good young Canadian players but also more young Canadian fans.
“It’s not the league of the past where the talk was about franchises in trouble,” said Cohon. “Now the question I get asked is where are you going to expand to next?” For the record, the area the league is eyeing for expansion—once Ottawa re-enters the CFL next season—is Atlantic Canada. But while Moncton has hosted CFL games dubbed Touchdown Atlantic in recent years, Cohon said if, and when, a
franchise is located there it will likely be in Halifax because it has the population base and potential for a suitably-sized stadium. But, he cautioned, such a move could be as much as 10 years off given the work involved. Meantime, Cohon said he is happy with the strides the league has made on and off the field and pointed to what he

Even when they successfully flip themselves over the barrier and into the still pond above, some are immediately washed back downstream by the swift streamflow and have to negotiate the hurdle all over again.

A SPAWNING kokanee makes its way up stream at the end of its lifecycle. ling many kilometres upstream in Mission Creek from Okanagan Lake. As I stand up from my crouch beside the creek, they fan away in fright, so obviously they realize the danger that lurks above in the sky from osprey, owls, hawks and other fish-eating birds. The immense change in physical characteristics, from a silver fish to one that’s scarlet with a green head sporting the classic upturned nose of the spawning salmon, is quite amazing. They use water temperature and day length to trigger their decision about when to enter the creek from the lake where they made their home for the past four years. During that time, it’s been learned they also face innumerable problems, from a lack of adequate feed because the introduced mysis shrimp out-compete them for it when they first arrive,

If they do survive in the lake to return to spawn, it’s the culmination of their lives, as salmon die after spawning, their bodies providing nutrients for surrounding habitat and feed for bears, raccoons and other critters. It’s a final journey, their odyssey home to lay their eggs. A variety of highly-qualified scientists spent time between 1996 and 2006 exploring the issues that caused a crash in the population of kokanee in the Okanagan in

the 1970s through to the 2000s, but what was a 20year plan for their recovery was cut short at that point; the budget slashed and the little fish left to continue eking out an existence in habitat that continues to be eroded by human activity. To be fair, efforts have been made to improve some of the issues affecting their continued survival, but much more can be done, largely involving restoration of habitat, such as a re-naturalizing of creeks like Mission, Trout and Penticton, as well as Trepanier and others. But every time a new dock is plunked down along the shore of Okanagan Lake, more habitat is lost and no one seems to be saying no to those who want to build those docks. Perhaps one species of little fish are not considered important enough to prevent more people from building docks over their gravel beds for spawning; or from permitting pollutants of one sort or another from entering a lake or stream; or from releasing land so the creek can once again flow over it, providing habitat. If that’s the case, be prepared to also wave good-bye to big, fat, trophy rainbows and the tourism industry that’s based on recreational fishing; and to more changes in that aquatic ecosystem than we can even guess at, but which will affect us negatively one day. The alternative is to stand our ground; to voice our objections when their habitat is endangered; to get out on the ground and help restore habitat throughout the watershed. Where are you prepared to draw the line? Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS CFL from A12 called strong ownership of the nine teams currently in the CFL and the new ownership team in Ottawa. “We have seen corporate Canada get on board with us and municipal governments partnering in new stadiums,” said the commissioner. One of Cohon’s proudest achievements of his seven years in office,

he said, was last year’s 100th Grey Cup celebration in Toronto. “That was our Olympics,” said Cohon, pointing to the pride Canadians are now feeling and expressing in the league. Other highlights include the imminent return of the CFL to Ottawa in a refurbished Landsdowne Park stadium and the new television deal. It’s a long way from
when he took over as commissioner in 2006
when the league’s slogan was: “Our balls are big-

of the football used by the CFL as opposed to the
smaller one used by the NFL.

Labonte also told police on April 21, 2010, that he had never met Irving. “And that was a lie,” said Watt. “Yes, sir,” said Labonte.

grief for dragging him in the bush when there was no “evidence” of being stuck, with Labonte later saying, “I didn’t embarrass him by telling him he’d got stuck in a crappy Ford truck.” Verma had been driving another man’s truck, the court has heard. Watt also revisited earlier testimony by Labonte, suggesting Labonte had testified that “Mr. Verma was going to kill Ms. Irving for the Hells Angels.” Labonte agreed. Irving was last seen alive April 6, 2010, the day she was brokering a large marijuana deal. Her body was discovered on McCulloch Forest Service Road—not far from where Labonte said he pulled Verma out—on April 26. She had been shot four times. Verma is currently on trial for first degree murder.

Later that day, Labonte testified that he was contacted by Verma, who asked for help getting out of the bush. “Did you ask him how he got there?” asked Watt. “No,” said Labonte. You drove up the back roads to help him without asking a “single, solitary question?” asked Watt incredulously. “He called for my help. He’s my cousin. I helped him,” said Labonte. Labonte agreed that when he got to the spot off McCulloch Forest Service Road where Verma was waiting, it “didn’t look like he was stuck.” Watt continued to question Labonte, asking why he didn’t give Verma

NEWS ▼ DOCUMENTARY
Interrogation of Omar Khadr at Guantanamo explored in film A documentary about the interrogation of a Canadian citizen at the now infamous Gauntanamo Bay terrorist detention camp is the subject of a new film called: You Don’t Like The Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantanamo. The documentary will be featured tonight, 7:30 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus theatre, 1000 KLO Rd., presented by the local chapter of Amnesty International. The documentary profiles the 2003 interrogation of a teenager and Canadian citizen, Omar Khadr, by Canadian intelligence agents. In 2002, when he was 15, Khadr was captured by the U.S. military in Afghanistan after its forces bombed and assaulted the Afghanistan compound in which he was living. The U.S. raid and subsequent firefight resulted in the death of a U.S. soldier and Khadr being se-
verely wounded. He was the first person since the Second World War to be prosecuted in a military commission for war crimes committed while still a minor. He was one of the youngest captives and the last western citizen to be held by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, located in Cuba. While in detention he was subjected to harsh interrogation methods. In October 2010, in a plea agreement, he pleaded guilty to murder in violation of the law of war and to providing material support for terrorism. This agreement meant that he did not need to be tried by a Guantanamo military commission tribunal. He accepted an eightyear sentence, not including time served. On Sept. 29, 2012 he was repatriated to Canada
to serve the remainder of his sentence in Canadian custody. The film analyzes the political, legal and scientific aspects of the interro-
gation of Khadr by the Canadian agents. Admission to the film is by donation. For more information, call 250-7694740.

▼ BCFC
Sun’s Howes a leader by example Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Tommy Howes admits one day he’ll likely wax nostalgic about his five seasons in an Okanagan Sun uniform. But for now, there are far more pressing matters at hand for the Winnipeg-born receiver than pondering his past or looking too far into the future. A proponent of head coach Shane Beatty’s one-day-at-a-time philosophy, Howes is looking no further than Sunday’s B.C. Football Conference matchup with the Chilliwack Huskers. “I haven’t reflected much on my career here, I’m really just focusing on the task at hand,” said Howes, 22, who graduates from junior football at the end of the season. “Coach (Shane) Beatty has taught us the mentality that only the next game matters. So that’s the focus right now, the Chilliwack Huskers (on Sunday). Of course, we want to win a championship but there’s a lot of work to be done before that.” On the subject of championships, Howes said anything less than winning the BCFC title in 2013 would be a “disappointment”, particularly considering the team’s dramatic turnaround this season under the tutelage of Beatty. If the Sun does plan on challenging for the conference title, it’s safe to say Howes will need to play a vital role. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound receiver has
been an offensive force for the Sun this season, leading the BCFC in receptions with 45, while piling up 582 yards and scoring a team-high eight touchdowns. Over the years, Sun receivers coach Tony Lindsay has watched Howes develop into a seasoned veteran and a valuable offensive commodity. “He’s pretty much become our go-to guy in the passing game. Technically his route running is excellent, he’s intelligent and he’s almost always in the right spot on the field,” said Lindsay. “He’s grown tremendously over the years, from a boy into a really nice young man.” And while Howes isn’t the loudest or most talkative teammate, Lindsay said the Winnipeg product has also evolved into an important leader on a young Sun team. “A lot of the younger guys on offense look up to him, even guys in other positions,” said Lindsay. “The receivers all seem to gravitate to him, too. He’s not a big voice or boisterous, he mainly leads by his actions. Tommy’s a quiet leader who gets his job done and sets a great example.” With two games left in the regular season, the Sun has not only sewed up a playoff spot but will also host at least one playoff game at the Apple Bowl. So with two lesser opponents to come—Chilliwack and Kamloops— what do Howes and the Sun want to accomplish prior to the start of post-season ? “We just want to go

FIVE-YEAR BCFC veteran Tommy Howes leads the Okanagan Sun with 45 receptions this season. out there and leave no doubt about what kind of team we are,” Howes said. “We want to bring our A games, be crisp and do everything we need to do to be ready for the playoffs.” One of seven 22-yearold players graduating from the program at season’s end Howes, not surprisingly, wants to make the most of his final weeks
in a Sun uniform. And while he’s hesitant to reminisce much while his career is still in progress, the sure-handed receiver concedes his years in Sun colours have been rewarding, to say the least. “It’s meant so much to me to be with the Sun for five years, both on and off the field,” Howes added. “They’ve been very
generous to me with the scholarship program, and I’ve gotten to know so many people over the years. I came here as a boy and I’ll be leaving a man, and I’m grateful to the organization.” Howes and the Sun (62) will take on the Huskers (2-5-1) this Sunday at the Apple Bowl in a 2 p.m. kickoff. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna’s #1 Choice for Auto Glass
A pair of key veterans will make a return to the Kelowna Rockets’ lineup Saturday night at Prospera Place. Defenceman Damon Severson and forward Myles Bell will make their WHL season debuts as the Rockets host the Victoria Royals in the first of eight meetings between the clubs. Both draft picks of the New Jersey Devils, the 20-year-old Bell rejoined the club last weekend from the NHL team’s camp, while Severson, 19, arrived back in the Okanagan from New Jersey on Thursday. “We’re returning two very key pieces to our puzzle,” Huska said of Severson and Bell. “It’s good, because it’s the end of not knowing whether we were going to get these players back, and now we can move forward as a hockey team.” Bell’s return means one overage player will have to sit out each time the Rockets play.
The other 20 year-olds on the roster are G Jordon Cooke, F Zach Franko and D MacKenzie Johnston. The club will have to move one by Oct. 15, the deadline for WHL teams to declare their three overage players. As for Victoria, the Royals are off to a slow start at 1-3-0, their latest defeat coming at the hands of Spokane, 6-1 on Wednesday. Still, Huska expects Victoria to offer up more than what they’ve shown to date. “They’re a team that’s always played with energy,” said Huska. “You look at their lineup and they have a great group of forwards. We always seem to have good games against them, so I wouldn’t expect anything different this time.”

The sport of water-skiing is undergoing a renaissance in Kelowna and oone of the pioneers of the -sport will be honoured this weekend with a recereational slalom event in his name. - The inaugural Wally Open recreational slalom ewater ski event will honwour the late Wally Giebelhaus Saturday morning on Okanagan Lake, near the n

site where the skiing pioneer did much of his training before becoming a many-time national water ski champion in a variety of age categories. Gieblhaus passed away last year but his love of skiing has been passed on to generations and is now being continued thanks to water skier Gary Athans along with a group of organizers that include the whiplash cable park just across the bridge heading towards West Ke-
lowna. It was in that location that Giebelhaus, one of the nation’s most enthusiastic water skiers, would set a course every season to train. “I decided to put this on to generate more interest in the sport,” said Athans. “Wally loved skiing more than almost anything. He competed till he was almost 80. When my brother was young Wally would take him on ski competitions. It’s real-
is open to all ages and abilities,” said Athans. “Waterskiing is making a comeback as it is really a fun, speed, adrenaline-type sport. Slalom skiers can generate speeds of 60 mph and turning on a dime.”

“We wanted to add another defenceman,” said Warriors head coach and GM Rylan Ferster. As well as No. 1 goaltender Andy Desautels, Ferster has brought in forwards Tyson Dallman and Jason Cotton, all of whom have proven key contributors. Morse will be the first addition to the defensive corps. But Ferster points out, the team also has 20-year-old Jaden Schmeisser soon to return from injury.
Morse began practicing with the Warriors on Thursday, while Schmeisser could make his debut when the club heads on a Coastal road trip next weekend, Oct. 4 to 6. The Warriors (5-2-0) will play their next four games on the road and head into the weekend on a five-game winning streak. West Kelowna’s next home action is Friday, Oct. 11 against the Merritt Centennials.

Owls girls win bronze at Mizuno UBC Invitational tourney
Without the services of three key players, the Kelowna Secondary School Owls still had enough firepower to grab the bronze medal at the

ning just one of three matches but it was still good enough to qualify for tier 1 of the playoffs. In the quarter finals, the Owls faced Kam-

TOFC U-13 teams working hard Thompson Okanagan Football Club teams will be back in action this coming weekend in Kelowna as the youth soccer season continues on various fields on Saturday and Sunday as teams from Coastal FC as well as the Fraser Valley will be in Kelowna. Here’s a look back at a couple of featured games from last weekend’s play.
U-13 INTAKE BOYS
On Saturday at the Mission Sports Fields, the TOFC U-13 Intake boys came away with their Dsecond win of the sea-
son beating a Fusion FC squad 1-0. Fusion kept TOFC’s goal keeper Isaac Boehmer (OK Falls) busy throughout the game but could not find the back of the net. The lone goal of the game came thirty minutes into the first half when Gregor Smith (Kelowna) scored a goal from Edvin Holok’s (Kelowna) cross. Stuart Klenner (Kamloops) played a strong defensive game for TOFC and helped to keep Fusion off the scoreboard.
the TOFC girls fought hard but could not hold back the strong attacks from Fusion FC which opened the scoring 13 minutes into the game and took a 1-0 score to the half-time break. TOFC came out with a strong push to start the second half of the game but could not hold back the athletic Fusion strikers, who controlled the ball with solid passing. Fusion added two more goals in the second half for a 3-0 lead. Determined to score the TOFC girls rallied and came back fighting.

▼ WINE FESTIVAL
Events already posting sellouts Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Early indications are that this year’s 33rd Fall Okanagan Wine Festival will be a great success, with several of the flagship events sold out weeks ahead of time. Blair Baldwin, general manager of the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society, says they moved some events to larger venues this year to accommodate more people, and they’re glad that decision was made. Already, both nights of the WestJet Wine Tastings in Kelowna the first weekend are sold out and those events sold out earlier than ever before, said Baldwin. The Harvest Reds and B.C. Cheese event is also sold out. The B.C. Wine Awards reception Oct. 3, which kicks off the festival, was moved this year from the Rotary Centre for the Arts into the Laurel Packinghouse next door, which can accommodate more than double the number of people, and it’s already half full. “It’s looking extremely good for this year,” he said. A feature of the festival’s 150 or more events are the wine and food pairings such as La Bussola’s Oct. 2 Barrel Tasting Dinner with Tyler Harlton Wines. It will be a three course dinner with four wines presented by the proprietor and the winemaker, at La Bussola Restaurant on Ellis Street in downtown Kelowna. Sommelier and coowner Luigi Coccaro says they are also presenting the wines of two Oliver wineries, LaStella and Le Vieux Pin with a six course food pairing with three wines from each winery. It’s on Oct. 10. Tickets for both events are available through the restaurant. Okanagan Spirits is offering something a little different: a Winetender’s MixOff. Bartenders will pair up with the best local wines in a competition to mix up a winning cocktail, and you get to vote for your favourite drink. It’s Tuesday, Oct. 8, beginning at 7 p.m., at the Laurel Packinghouse. There’ll be live music, drinks and appetizers. Tickets are available at:

Together with coowner Ted Allen, the pair were ready to help and add it to the charity work they already do. “There is a personal tie-in for me with someone I know suffering a brain injury,” said Nickel. “Our business is all about giving back to the community so we were excited about the opportunity to help out BrainTrust Canada.” After M&M Performance set the Rockets up with a quad for mascot Rocky the Raccoon to use during intermission
The Kelowna Rockets, Capri Insurance, M&M Performance and BrainTrust Canada have joined forces to raise as much as $10,000 to help support people in the Okanagan who have suffered brain injuries. The trio of local businesses are holding a charity raffle where one Rockets fan will win a 90 cc Polaris Outlaw quad, donated by M&M Performance. Tickets are $10 and are available exclusively at Kelowna Rockets games. With only 500 available, Capri Insurance stepped forward to match the amount raised to a maximum of $5,000 with the potential being $10,000 for BrainTrust Canada. “This is an excellent fit for us to be partnering with the Kelowna Rockets, M&M Performance and Capri Insurance,” said Magda Kapp, director of communications for BrainTrust Canada Association. “Almost everyone knows someone who has

Culture Days hit Kelowna Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
For some, paint on a new pair of jeans, the tinkle of ivory chords and the odd squeak from a clarinet are part of the joy of living. For others, soccer practice and hockey might be followed by a night chilling on the couch with an episode of Breaking Bad. Whatever your cultural palette contains, this weekend marks a time to celebrate, try something new and revel in the artistic spirit of your community—or any community nationwide—for Culture Days. “Canadians can enjoy a one-day celebration of comic book culture in Vancouver, ballet performances at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet or participate in a public art pro-
ject in Prince Edward Island,” said Antoni Cimolino, Culture Days national chairman, in the organization’s final statement before the three-day event. Culture Days is run by a non-profit organization of the same name, which is trying to build a national cultural network of support for the arts. Part movement, part publicity wagon, it emulates the iconic I Love New York campaign—arguably a cultural icon in itself—with its I Love Culture slogan. Every event included is free and run by volunteers; altogether it has brought 600,000 artists, arts and cultural organizations, community groups and volunteer events to Canadian communities. Here in Kelowna, the events kick off following the downtown Mar-

Although the two events are entirely separate, the marina opening will include artists on site in the spirit of the weekend’s activities and Festivals Kelowna is helping round up buskers for entertainment. Those milling about will want to move from the marina to the Kelowna Art Gallery, open 6-10 p.m. free of charge according to the event listing, and again the next day to host a series of workshops and tours. Inside the gallery, Okanagan Life Magazine will showcase a selection of its photographs from the past 25 years and there will be behind the scenes tours of the closed portions of the facility on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. In the common area,
the Cool Arts crew of differently-abled artists will be yarn bombing from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, a process which sees them knitting funky colours onto trees and inanimate objects, like park benches. The art gallery events are inspired by cubism, the avant-garde art movement pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque and widely considered the most influential art movement of the last century. Often geometric, always concerned with breaking down the image, volunteers at the art gallery will be helping participants put the cubist principals into practice painting a mural or drawing a “cubey, wacky still life at the easel,” according to gallery events coordinator Joshua Desnoyer. There will also be origami bouquets to fold and a Picasso-style face-painting session. Meanwhile, on Bernard Avenue Friday evening, artists connected to the heART school have stepped in to set up a Cultural Crawl.

KINGS OF LEON: MECHANICAL BULL (RCA)
SOUNDING OFF
l
Mechanical Bull is the aKings Of Leon’s sixth album and something of a sreturn to form after the mixed reception of the belaboured 2010 album Come Around Sundown ,that sold relatively poorly. - The group’s 2008 al-bum, Only By Night, was san absolute stunner where it seemed rock radio played just about every track on the album as a hit single. - That disc had at least ha half dozen airwave hits while the uber-hits Use tSomebody and Sex On Fire virtually saturated -modern rock radio and ecrossed over to pop radio -and even got club play. l The follow-up Come -Around Sundown was -a relative flop scoring -but one hit while the rest -of the album had some songs that were weak and -came off as filler. Every track on this -new release is a winner -even though nothing is as oimmediately likable as the eaforementioned signature -songs.

Bruce Mitchell ings nicely with chiming guitars and the telling lyric “down in the delta you’re ringing bells.” Meanwhile, rock radio has already jumped ahead to feature another song from this album with the spare and rootsy ballad Wait For Me which lyrically comes across as open ended, even though there is a theme of over indulgence that may explain the weakness of the Come Around Sundown album. But for variety check out the glam rock overtones of Don’t Matter and Rock City (as in a southern Suffragette City), the R.E.M.-ish ringing guitars of Temple and the U2-like guitar dynamics of Tonight. A very strong 11-track album but confirmed fans will want to check out the Deluxe Edition that has two additional songs with the demo-like Work On Me and the rootsy rocker Last Mile Home taken from the film August:

EARTH, WIND & FIRE: NOW, THEN & FOREVER (SONY) Earth, Wind & Fire should be considered something of an American national treasure. They formed back in 1969 and for the last few decades have been releasing imaginative and groundbreaking blends of funk/pop/rock/jazz/disco and soul. It is this amalgam that drives this new album where EW&F have scored a minor hit on the Adult Contemporary charts with the funky soul of My Promise, while they have charted on Smooth Jazz sites with the new age soul of Guided Lights where the band performs a six plus minute workout complete with horns, woozy synths and honeyed harmonies. My fave track is the
energized Night Of My Life with its Carpe Diem dance sound that stands with the best the band has ever made. Fans will want to note that this comes with six ‘free’ bonus tracks of yesteryear’s smash hits including Sing A Song, September (their signature song), Let’s Groove, After The Love Is Gone and their terrific cover of Got To Get You Into My Life re; the following GLEE/Beatles CD review.

sellers given the tragic drug overdose death of Cory Monteith combined with the overwhelming popularity of The Beatles’ music. But if you were hoping to get your last fix of Monteith (sorry for the addiction idiom) you won’t find it on Sings The Beatles. There is no Monteith here but it would have been interesting to see the public reaction if he had indeed sung ironic titles such as Help or Yesterday or even (gulp) A Hard Days Night. Anyway, this season’s premier ran yesterday and I am sure that ratings will be way up as the morbidly curious wonder how they will write the Monteith character out of the show while this mediocre soundtrack neither advances nor hinders the Beatles legacy.

Engaging a healthier mindset M y mom once said that up until the age of 25, you have the body that you were born with. After that, you get the body you deserve. This becomes more evident to us as we age. Our physical state is the sum of every single decision we have made up until this point. This includes what we eat and what we don’t eat, what we drink and what we don’t drink, and what we do and we don’t do. So now that we are all accountable for our present state, let’s move forward to the power of choice, which is a superpower. It is better than x-ray vision or being able to fly. It enables us to create whatever environment we want within ourselves. Just as no one can tell you what to think, no one can tell you what to do. This allows us greater and ultimate authority over our lives. Someone once said you could live with the pain of discipline or you can live with the pain of disappointment. Both have drastically different outcomes. We all know of many things we can do right now to change our health, from eating more vegetables, drinking more water, exercising more, meditating, sleeping enough, etc. But when faced with all these choices, the new person that becomes you can be overwhelmed. This is why I say to my patients make one change a week. Just as you cannot get rich quick, you cannot be that healthy person that you desire overnight. But you can make that choice to start down the path of being a healthier person overnight. Once again, that’s the power of choice. The regimen I start my patients on is first to get used to drinking two litres of water a day. The next week, I asked them to ensure that they get eight hours of sleep every night. This sets you up for the third week in the new training that will be you, make sure that you exercise at least three to five times a week. In the fourth week, I asked my patients to remove all wheat from their diet. There, in one month you are properly hydrated and detoxified, rested, fit have lost weight. That’s just the first month.
ASK DR.THIEL
Markus Thiel My wife is one of the most fit people I’ve ever
met. She eats well constantly, she exercises routinely and she’s living testament to the words I have written above. In comparison, admittedly, I am a distant second to her. But the one thing that has bred success into everything she has done is that she has done it consistently, delib-
erately and on purpose. Choose to live your life on purpose and you will see the benefits. You don’t have to read a book, buy any fancy gadgets or join a class— just do it. As Dr. James Chestnut says: “Eat well, think well and move well.” askdrthiel@shaw.ca

▼ FREEDOM’S CROSSROADS
Canadian stops on Underground Railroad Ellen Creager CONTRIBUTOR
LAKESHORE, Ontario—In the cornfields of Ontario, one of Canada’s most significant Underground Railroad sights is tucked behind tall grass and a red metal fence. Nobody would ever find you here. But of course, that was the original point. When former slave John Freeman Walls and his white wife escaped from North Carolina to Canada in 1846, they simply wanted safety and peace. They found it on these 20 rural acres, where they raised a family and built a cabin. Now somewhat tumbledown and embraced by wildflowers and thistles, its only visitors this September afternoon are fluttering butterflies and one busload of Detroit tourists. Yet I found the modest Walls Historic Site a touching remembrance of the power of the Underground Railroad. It’s said that even civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks found solace at this place. “It’s nice to come here
and say, oh, you reached the other side,” says Norma Sales of Detroit, one of a group of Michigan travellers on a two-day tour to see spots in southwest Ontario that make up the Canadian half of the freedom tale. Underground Railroad historical sites are plentiful in the U.S. and especially in Detroit, one of the busiest crossing points to freedom. But in Canada, you can see the other half of the story— what happened to the estimated 30,000 people who crossed into southwest Ontario between 1834 and 1860. Black history is alive in Lakeshore, Amherstburg, Dresden, North Buxton and Windsor. Many fugitives who crossed in turn became key figures in the Underground Railroad. The lessons these sites impart to visitors? “Perseverance, hard work, doing the right thing—and don’t give up,” says Stewart McMillin, a Detroit tour guide who specializes in Underground Railroad tours, including sites in Canada. “There are so many stories here.”
You can navigate your own personal driving trip of Undergound Railroad sites in southwest Ontario, all part of the Ontario Heritage Trust Slavery to Freedom circuit. Some are easy to find, like the North American Black Historical Museum in Amherstburg. Some are quite a drive from Detroit, like Uncle Tom’s Cabin in Dresden, north of Chatham. Some, like the Walls site, would be totally off your radar if you did not know how to find it. You also can take an organized tour. McMillin, who specializes in black history and Underground Railroad tours, puts together such tours once or twice a year. Gary Winston of Michigan Millennium Metro Tours plans to offer them several times next summer. Sheridan Daniels of Detroit, who took a McMillin tour Sept. 3, says she had no idea so much black history was in southwestern Ontario. For instance, “I had heard of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and read about it, but that’s about it,” she says. “I never had actually seen it before.”
Josiah Henson escaped from his Kentucky slave master in 1830 and came to Canada. He later wrote an autobiography, which writer Harriet Beecher Stowe used as inspiration for Uncle Tom’s Cabin. That 1853 novel helped change U.S. public opinion about slavery, although it later became controversial. So one critical Underground Railroad stop in Ontario is in Dresden, where Henson started the New Dawn Settlement to help fugitive slaves start over in Canada. It turns out that the site’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is no rustic cabin, but a pretty nice house where Henson—whose life was a far cry from the pejorative “Uncle Tom” image— lived. In beautiful Amherstburg, the small North American Black Historical Museum documents the history of those who crossed the narrow Detroit River near Belle Isle to freedom—but the museum is intimate enough not to overwhelm visitors. Nearby in Windsor, the Sandwich First Baptist Church has a trap
door where people could hide when slave-catchers crossed the Detroit River. Meanwhile, back at the John Freeman Walls site, tourists gather around a red “freedom bell” meant to be rung by arriving fugitives. When John and Jane Walls arrived in 1846, they helped start the local Baptist church, which in turn helped other arriving escaped slaves gain land to farm. This was crucial in the dire years after 1850 when the U.S. Fugitive Slave Act allowed runaway slaves to be arrested even in northern states like Michigan, forcing people to cross to Canada for safety. Today, the Walls site has a railroad car that once was used as a small museum. A look through the dusty windows shows it in disarray. Nearby is the Walls family cabin and several other sturdy-looking outbuildings. There is the family cemetery, where generations of Wallses are buried. And there is nature’s handiwork—the low arc-

Much goes into selecting art for exhibition
P
eople meeting me for the first time often ask how I go about selecting the exhibitions for the Kelowna Art Gallery. There is no short answer to this, as it is a complex process, and a part of my job I take very seriously. Boiling it down, I mostly try to go for the “juice,” as a local artist refers to it—work that astounds, delights and amazes me, and that I think is important to show to Kelowna audiences. The art that makes me the most excited is generally art that is visual, in which any socio-political aspects, for example, are wedded to the visual aspect of the art. The communication needs to be via the vocabulary of art, and that aspect must be paramount for the work to function for me as art per se, and not dissolve into signage or didactic displays. I like work in which the elements and meaning are emotionally and psychologically authentic, not taken from a book, or illustrating some conceptual notion. I aim for a balance overall, over time, of media (painting, drawing, printmaking video, installation, etc.), region (local and from elsewhere), age, gender, all ethnicities, and a range of approaches of artists. Group shows, solo shows, from time to time
ON VIEW
Liz Wylie historical work are all featured, to try to provide a lively mix of exhibitions. I like to consider shows that are offered on tour to us by other Canadian galleries from the point of view of Kelowna audiences, not only what I find appealing or interesting myself: ‘What would this show bring to Kelowna?’ I ask myself. ‘Would this be work that would be important for people here to see for whatever reason(s).’ How do I find artists? Nothing magical. I spend lots of time looking at art magazines, the Internet, visiting galleries in other cities, and, of course, reviewing submissions received from artists. The decisions can be tough, as the Kelowna Art Gallery produces only four shows annually in our large gallery space, and four in the small gallery, so each show is so vitally important, and we certainly don’t want to waste space or time with any sub-par work. The Kelowna Art Gallery receives its funding to promote and support
KELOWNA ART GALLERY
CLEA HAUGO, registrar at the Kelowna Art Gallery (above), takes a close look at the works of art where the
permanent collection is stored in the gallery’s temperature- and humidity-controlled vault, while KAG curator Liz Wylie (below) spins through the collection in their digital version. These methods are just part of choosing which pieces of art to include in any exhibition of works from the gallery’s permanent collection. the work of professional, living Canadian artists. It is not the function of the curatorial program of exhibitions here to support local artists unless they have made a name for themselves already— finished training, had exhibitions elsewhere, and perhaps received some curatorial and/or critical reception. I strive to incorporate work by these local artists, both in solo and in group exhibitions at the gallery, and in our beautiful 40-foot-long space at the Kelowna International
Airport. That said, artists of any stripe are most welcome to contact me at any time to discuss their work, either via email or in person, which I consider a big part of my role here, not just the exhibitions themselves (along with their accompanying publications). By way of a little sneak preview, we have an exciting lineup of shows for 2014, including a touring show from the Vancouver Art Gallery, a large survey show of Ann Kipling’s drawings, a solo show of Vancouver-based Christos Dikeakos, who has an apple orchard in Naramata, about fruit growing in the Okanagan, and a touring show from the Mackenzie Gallery in Regina of the work produced by a group active in the last century who called themselves the Professional Native Indian Artists. Plus, we will mount four solo shows in the small gallery that look exciting and fascinating, along with a new artist’s garden in our courtyard in spring, and two more solo installations at the Kelowna International Airport space, by local artists. Keep watching this space for my mo nthly reports. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. 250-762-2226 http://kelownaartgallery.com
Toronto musical artist’s tour arrives in Kelowna mid-October “Ruminative and nuanced and, we suspect, emotionally naked enough to alter the mood of a room,” is how Jadea Kelly’s music was described in the Toronto Star. If poetic music is what
grabs your attention, one artist stepping into the spotlight at the Streaming Café next month might be just the thing to get your heart pumping. Jadea Kelly is hitting the road, bringing her songs from Toronto to the
Kelowna stage for a crack at the live-streamed shows that offer everyone in the country a taste of the B.C. Interior cultural flare. Her tour actually kicks off this weekend as she showcases her sophomore release, Clover, from St.
John’s, NL to the B.C. coast, arriving in Kelowna mid-October. “Kelly’s voice is pure and cool like fresh water,” wrote Julia Leconte, in her review of the work for Now Magazine. Through heartache
and iron fists, Jadea spends her time in this collection really discovering her voice, which is described as “an intriguing marriage of old and new, built with heavy orchestration, darker organ pads, layered harmonies
and sonic space” in her own publicity materials. This new album comes three years after her debut, Eastbound Platform, and after a relentless few years touring the festival circuit and making some must-see Can-

Critical acclaim movies coming

efore Ron Howard became an Academy Award-winning director and producer, he was best known as Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham on Happy Days. He had huge success as a director of such hits as Splash, Cocoon, Parenthood, Backdraft, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code. His latest is Rush which is being called a spectacular big-screen re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between Formula 1 drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Chris Hemsworth (Thor) stars as the charismatic Englishman Hunt and Daniel Brühl (Inglorious Basterds) is the disciplined Austrian Lauda. Rush follows the two drivers both on and off the track as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance. After a few middling efforts, Howard looks like he is back on top with Rush as it is getting critical acclaim, especially for the exhilarating race sequences and the perform-

The actor who got his start in television as Tommy in 3rd Rock from the Sun is on his way to a similar career path. Gordon-Levitt makes his debut as writer and director with the comedy Don Jon, in which he also plays the title character. A name that his buddies call him due to his ability to seduce a different woman every weekend, Don Jon’s real passion is his addiction to pornography. However, he must confront his demons when he meets Barbara (Scarlett Johansson), an old-fashioned girl who wants the romantic comedy life of finding her Prince Charming and

riding off into the sunset. Both must wrestle with both of their expectations of the opposite sex and try to find true intimacy with each other. Also starring Julianne Moore, Don Jon premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and then a few weeks ago at the Toronto International Film Festival, getting raves at both. However, this is not a sweet and syrupy romantic comedy and you may be shocked with the
amount of sexuality and language in it, especially since one of the stars is former TV dad Tony Danza. Picking up where the original left off, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 sees inventor Flint Lockwood’s genius finally being recognized when he is invited to join the Live Corp Company where the best and the brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. But Flint’s dream to be recognized as a great inventor is jeopardized when he discovers that his most infamous machine (which turns water into food) is still operating and is now creating food-animal hybrids called “foodimals.” With the fate of humanity in his hands, Flint and his friends are sent on a dangerously delicious mission, battling hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, apple pie-thons, double bacon cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world again.

Jadea Kelley renders a ‘mournful, noir-country sound’ Kelly from B1 fully onto the stage, particularly after she toured Europe as a feature artists in several house concerts.
“Kelly really shines when she fully commits to the mournful, noir-country sound featured on Clover (I’ll Be, You Had Me, Powell River),” Leconte
commented in her Now article. “Here, she set her acoustic guitar aside for a resonant hollow-bodied electric, slowed tempos to a crawl and pushed
her plaintive vocals to the farthest, darkest corners of the room.” Kelly will play Kelowna’s Streaming Café on Oct. 23.

Vine to table at Little Straw Vineyards in West Kelowna T he Slamka family really is the shining example of a family-run winery, located on the lower slopes of Mt Boucherie in West Kelowna. There are two generations of them involved in this bustling business— from root to bottle and from wine shop to table, you are bound to meet at least a couple of members of this friendly family while visiting. The three Slamka brothers Pete, Ric and Tim, along with their wives Lynn, Sue and Tina, wear various hats on the vineyard/winery as well as involving their children in the mix. There are a few non-Slamkas in the crew, including chef Trevor Mayhew who is at the helm of the Barrel Top Restaurant located on the second floor of their wine shop. Cozy and quaint, with indoor and outdoor patio tables looking over the vineyards onto Okanagan Lake, the Barrel Top offers a great menu focusing on local cuisine. Incidentally, Trevor recently won Best Dish served at the local Spot Prawn Festival held at Manteo Resort this spring—quite an honour, especially given the competition on site. Chef Mayhew comes to us from Alberta and is revelling in the creative, local cooking he can produce while liv-

His new passion has been using the grapevines to smoke various meats that really gives the cuisine a vineyard spin and also provides a good use for the clipped vines. A former stand-up comedian, this chef will also be able to provide some great entertainment while dining—if he has time. Taking off his chef hat between cooking times, winemaker Pete Slamka keeps Trevor busy in the cellar in training as assistant winemaker. Recently, the Slamkas were thrilled by a surprise visit from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The Prime Minister made only one winery stop, other than Quails’ Gate Winery where his event was being held, and that was Little Straw Vineyards. He picked up a couple of bottles of Tapestry to take home to Ottawa. Little Straw Vineyards is located at 2815 Ourtoland Rd. in West Kelowna.

Recognizing the signs of kidney failure in your pet T he organs that probably fascinate me most are the kidneys. The kidneys are two fairly small, bean-shaped organs located in the abdomen which function as the body’s filter. As blood flows into the kidneys, it is filtered of all the waste products while preserving essential nutrients. The kidneys are also responsible for regulating the hydration of the body, excreting the fluids we don’t need and leaving just the right amount we do need. After the filtration process, the blood continues to flow back into the body’s circulation. The excess of fluids and the body waste products come out of the kidneys in the form of urine. The urine flows from the kidneys into the urinary bladder and from there is secreted out when the bladder gets full. Because the kidneys are responsible for regulating the body’s hydration, one can assess a hydration level by the urine output. For pets, the urine will be copious, light in colour and diluted. When the body is dehydrated, the kidneys will secrete minimum amount of fluids to retain as much as possible in the blood. Under this scenario, the urine will be dark yellow, smelly and concentrated. If you recognize this in your pet, it’s a sign that your pet is not sufficiently hydrated and needs to drink more water. The normal function of kidneys is extremely important for the body’s existence.
FURRY FRIENDS
Dr. Moshe Oz The kidneys are quite durable organs that can continue functioning even when damaged. In fact, signs of kidney failure will be noticeable only when 70 per cent of a kidney is damaged. Kidney failure can occur suddenly due to ingestion of a toxic substance or over a longer period as a pet ages. Acute failure will lead to more dramatic symptoms and will show a more significant kidney failure than the chronic cases, but if caught in time it may be reversed. Chronic kidney failure can’t be reversed and the treatment focuses on trying to slow down the process and support the animal. The kidneys have additional functions such as secreting hormones that trigger red blood cell production and blood pressure regulation. When the kidney fails, it does the opposite of its normal function. The body waste products are staying in the blood, the water and nutrients are secreted in the urine. The symptoms of kidney failure are the manifestation of that. In acute failure, the symptoms are related mostly to the toxic effect of the retained waste products of the body. The most common symptoms of acute kidney failure are vomiting, inappetence, very little or

no urine output, depression and in severe cases neurologic abnormalities including seizure and coma. In the chronic form of kidney failure, the symptoms are less dramatic and more subtle over time. In the chronic form, the symptoms are more related to the loss of the essential nutrients in the urine. Animals that suffer from chronic kidney failure will typically lose significant weight, will drink and urinate excessively.
Vomiting and depression are also common in this form of the disease. Because the kidneys are also responsible for controlling the red blood cells and blood pressure, animals with chronic damage are typically anaemic (will have pale gums and skin) and suffer from blood pressure abnormalities. The kidney function can be evaluated easily with blood and urine sampling. For people, the treatment for kidney failure is
dialysis treatments involving a machine that filters the blood instead of the kidneys. Unfortunately in veterinary medicine, dialysis is not yet available. So the treatment for kidney failure consists of supportive treatment. Aggressive fluid therapy that helps flashing the kidneys and supportive nutrition and nutritional supplements are the main courses of action. As for prevention, it’s impossible to prevent the chronic form that is
caused by aging. However, the acute form is most commonly a result of intoxication. Avoid giving human medication to your pet, some of the common human over the counter drugs, especially drugs such as Tylanol and Advil are toxic to pets kidneys. Antifreeze (especially ethylene glycol based) is extremely dangerous because it is palatable to pets and very toxic to the kidneys. Some metals are toxic to pets, as well as some
human food, such as chocolate, grapes and raisins. If you recognize any of the symptoms mentioned consult your vet. Even making small changes in your pet’s life, such as changing its diet to a kidney supportive diet can often help slowing down the deterioration and prolong your furry friend’s life.

What Should You Do if Someone is Having a Heart Attack?
W. Gifford-Jones, MD
I
t has been widely talked about for many years so it doesn’t come as a big surprise... heart disease, strokes and heart attacks are at an all-time high, affecting millions of Canadians. In fact, about 8 out of 10 Canadians are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease -a devastating illness that 74,000 people die from each year.
What exactly is a heart attack? When the blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped because of a blockage, a heart attack occurs. Atherosclerosis, the narrowing of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, causes more than 90% of heart attacks. A heart attack may also occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into a severe spasm, shutting off blood flow to the heart. Not all people who have heart attacks experience the same symptoms or experience them to the same degree. Many heart attacks aren’t as dramatic as the ones you’ve seen on TV. Some people have no symptoms at all, while for others, the first sign may be sudden cardiac arrest. Still, the more signs and symptoms, the greater the likelihood that person may be having a heart attack. The severity of heart attack symptoms can vary too. Some people have mild pain, while others experience severe pain. A heart attack can occur anytime — at work or play, while you’re resting, or while you’re in motion. Some heart attacks strike suddenly, but many people who experience a heart attack have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or weeks in advance. The earliest warning of a heart attack may be recurrent chest pain (angina) that is triggered by exertion. Angina is caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the heart.
Common symptoms include: • Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in the chest or arms. It may also spread to the neck, jaw or back. • Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain • Shortness of breath • Sweating or a cold sweat • Feelings of anxiety or an impending sense of doom • Fatigue • Trouble sleeping • Light-headedness or dizziness
What to do if you see someone having a heart attack? If you encounter someone who is unconscious from a presumed heart attack, call for emergency medical help If you have received training in emergency procedures, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This helps deliver oxygen to the body and brain. According to the American Heart Association, regardless of whether you’ve been trained, you should begin CPR with chest compressions. Press down about 2 inches (5 centimeters) on the person’s chest at a rate of about 100 a minute. If you’ve been trained in CPR, check the person’s airway and deliver rescue breaths after every 30 compressions. If you haven’t been trained, continue compressions until help arrives. If you are experiencing any warning signs, you should call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number right away, or have someone call for you. Stop all activity and sit or lie down in a position that is most comfortable and try to remain calm until help arrives.
What can you do to improve your heart health? Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, reported 25 years ago that humans do not make their own Vitamin C. He also found that Vitamin C is needed to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Pauling also found that taking several thousand milligrams of Vitamin C a day can help to remove artery blockages and help to prevent a heart attack. Prevention is your best strategy for a strong and healthy cardiovascular system. This Message Brought to You By...

will celebrate people with diversabilities. Here in Kelowna, Mayor Walter Gray has officially proclaimed Oct 7 to 13 as Pathways Abilities Society Week, acknowledging the society’s work and the valuable contribution to this community made by people with diversabilities. To kick off the week, Pathways is inviting everyone in Kelowna to join together in front of City Hall at 10 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 8, as the society attempts to create the city’s first “human in-
clusion pathway” along Water Street. “The idea is to form a string of people from all walks of life, standing hand-in-hand along Water Street, in front of City Hall, to demonstrate the diversity of our community. We believe every person matters, and we hope to draw as many people as possible to join us downtown to create the pathway,” said Daley. The pathway will stretch up the east side of Water and onto Doyle. Refreshments will be served.
non Lake and Rose Valley Elementary Schools • Rose Valley Elementary School; Monday, Sept. 30, 6 to 8 p.m. • Shannon Lake Elementary School; Tuesday, Oct.1, 6 to 8 p.m. These meetings are designed to gather input on the proposed catchment area and boundaries for the new Mar Jok Elementary School through the adjustment and establishment of catchment areas around both Shannon Lake Elementary and Rose Valley Elementary
Schools. 2. Community consultation for all Westside elementary schools • Mount Boucherie Secondary School; Thursday, Oct. 10, 6 to 8 p.m. This meeting is an opportunity to receive input on possible adjustments to catchment areas across the entire Westside.

Capital News Thursday, September 26, 2013
CULTURE
Launched in September 2010, Culture Days is a free annual event designed to invite the public to celebrate and explore arts and culture in communities in every province and territory in Canada. Individual artists, diverse cultural groups, organizations, municipalities, and festivals old and new come together under one banner each year to catalyze and inspire greater participation in arts and culture by featuring free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to the behind-the-scenes world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators and designers in their home community during Culture Days. Culture Days represents the largest-ever voluntary collective public participation campaign undertaken by the arts and cultural community in Canada. How the movement works: There is an open call for all individual artists, groups, municipalities and arts and cultural organizations of all types and disciplines to join the movement and offer free participatory and interactive arts and cultural activities during Culture Days. Everyone is encouraged to join the movement: whether you are a professional or amateur cultural creator (i.e. artist, artisan, educator, animator, historian, curator, architect, designer, etc.), group, venue or organization, including culturally diverse, Aboriginal, urban and rural communities, there is a role to play!

Born on the family homestead near Maidstone, SK, she moved with her parents and sisters to Westbank, BC in 1939. As a young girl on the prairies, she came to know the Lord Jesus as her Saviour and after being baptized, met with a few other believers in the home of her grandparents, Walter and Eliza Broadhead. Other than a brief period when, she worked in Vancouver, she spent the rest of her life in Westbank and was a faithful member of the assembly meeting there in Highway Gospel Hall. In Janurary, 1944 she married John Howard Griffin who predeceased her in 1979.

MONKHOUSE, FRANK COULTON Passed away on September 22, 2013, after a long illness at Cottonwoods, his home for the last five years. Frank was born in Eyebrow, Saskatchewan on December 1, 1913.

BAKER, GRAHAM MERVYN Graham Baker of Kelowna, BC, passed away in his home comforted by his loving wife, soulmate and bestfriend, Coralynn, by his side, on the morning of Friday, September 20, 2013. Graham is survived by and in the hearts of son, Vernon (Suzy) Baker, Vancouver, BC, daughter, Melody (Todd) Baker-Erickson, Salt Spring Island, step-daughter, Lisa (Glenn) Moss, Ottawa, Ontario, grandson, Brooks Baker-Erickson and granddaughter Charley Baker-Erickson and grandsons Brendan and Brayden Moss. Survived by siblings residing in England, sister Shirley (Barry) Harvey and sister Marie (Ken) Walker. Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We are traveling by train. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. Out the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides of city skylines and village halls. On a certain day, at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Once we get there so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed puzzle. Sooner or later, we realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is in the trip. The station is only a dream that constantly outdistances us. So, “Relish the moment,” it isn’t the burden of today that drives men mad, it is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today. Stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles, instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough. At Graham’s request there will be no service. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.
