Proposed hotel cruises past public hearing stage Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
A proposed 210-room hotel, that its proponents and members of city council predict will become an “icon” in Kelowna’s downtown, easily crossed its second to last major hurdle Tuesday night. At a public hearing to amend the city’s Official Community Plan and change the zoning of Mill Street, which runs between the site of the future hotel and Kerry Park and which will be closed and sold to the hotel’s developer, saw only two members of the public speak out Tuesday night. And they were in favour of the project. The city said it received 65 letters of support for the project and just four against it. When it came council’s turn to speak, every member present —Councillors Robert Hobson and Maxine DeHart were abTHIS REALLY SETS sent—lavished praise on the proTHE BAR FOR ject and the company behind it, Edmonton-based Westcorp DeDEVELOPMENTS IN velopments. THE FUTURE. “This is a spectacular deKelowna Mayor sign,” said Coun. Luke Stack. Walter Gray “I know it will be a landmark building.” Stack was also taken—as were his colleagues—with the company’s public communications plan for the project, saying it set a new benchmark for developments to follow in the city. Mayor Walter Gray, who said Werstcorp owner Phil Milroy had been “misunderstood” when he proposed developing the former Willow Inn site at the corner of Queensway and Mill Street, and “not treated well in the past,” (by previous councils), deserved a lot of credit for sticking with his desire to see a hotel built on the site. “This really sets the bar for developments in the future,” said Gray. The 24-storey elliptical hotel tower, to sit on a four-storey base, required a height variance because the maximum height allowance for building in the area is 19 storeys. The rezoning

Strawberry patch will be missed Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A chapter of Kelowna’s farming history has come to a close. After 27 years in business, Benvoulin Road Strawberries has shuttered its doors to visitors looking to roam their fields and load up on the sweet fruits they became famous for. “We are getting older and we thought it was time to retire, so we did,” said the farm’s Linda Coupal. Closing the u-pick operation after such a long run was a decision that’s left her and her husband with mixed feelings. “There were a lot of people who supported our business and we got to know them over the years,” she said. “They started coming here as a couple, then they would have kids and bring them here, and then as they got older, those kids would be here helping their parents.” There are other aspects to the business she won’t be sad to say goodbye to, however. “You know, Mother Nature sometimes can be a little harsh,” she said. Echoing that sentiment, her husband Gabriel said closing down will open up a new avenue of opportunity to enjoy the simpler things in life. “We are looking to adapting to a life of greater relaxation, leisure and less stress,” he said. “There’s a lot of stress involved with bringing in a very delicate crop that’s susceptible to all sorts of environmental assaults and challenges. So, for the time being we are enjoying being here and not having to work here.” News they’d be closing down had already circulated through the farm’s loyal customer base the year before, so there has been little confusion among those who have looked at the fallow fields. That said, the Coupals said they miss those friendly faces. “To them, I would like to say thank you so much for your support,” he said, adding that there’s something special about touching three generations of a family’s life. “We’ve made numerous seasonal friends over the years. We will miss that component of our operation most of all.” A small patch of fruit remains on the property— saved for family and friends–and those fruits have bloomed earlier than ever before. Whether that would have meant a bumper crop remains to be seen, however. Strawberries are the first berries to bloom in the Central Okanagan, and the city can still boast a number of commercial growers. Next plants to bear fruit will be raspberries, then cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines, pears, apples and table grapes. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
ASHER Klassen has organized the first comic jam en route to an academic career in comics and plans to freelance as a comic creator. JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS
Kelowna lands comic jam Inaugural event marks the evolution of the comic and animation industry in the Central Okanagan Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It’s like telephone on paper. This is how Vancouver-based freelance writer Ed Brisson—who works for outfits like Marvel Comics (Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers), Image Comics (Invincible, The Walking Dead), Dark Horse Comics (Dark Horse Presents, Boris the Bear, Criminal Macabre) and Boom! Studios (Irredeemable and Zombie Tales)—describes a comic jam. Brisson started the events in Vancouver in 2004 and says they’re standard fare in pretty well every city where the comic community converges. “Something that may come as a surprise is that all the comic book creators are introverts, so it’s kind of hard to get them out,” he says with a chuckle. Brisson moved to Vancouver from Kelowna af-
ter finishing a fine arts degree and says the Comic Jam helped him as he worked his way into the industry; the fun has spawned similar results for participants from Portland to Toronto to Seattle. Whether the group add beers to get the creative juices flowing, as is done in Vancouver, or coffee, as a Kelowna meetup of cartoonists and artists connecting for weekly morning sketches has done, it tends to follow the same format. Remember those games of telephone when you were a kid? Writing stories by folding pieces of paper over, adding a line and passing it to the next person to add their line? That’s the idea. Unlike most collaborative experiences, the frame-by-frame written comic is not so much the focus as the fun all have getting to the end. “There are people who have gone on to work on comic projects together—like there’s a Van-
A SAMPLE of Asher Klassen’s comic art. couver comic collective called Cloudscape Comics, which has become a non-profit comic collective here with their own house now through the park’s board—but mostly it’s just a way for people to get to know each other,” said Brisson. As with any inaugural effort, the Kelowna comic jam will have its own twist. When the first event gets underway at the Alternator Centre for
Contemporary Art this weekend, it will be producing work to eventually show in the gallery this July. Organizer Asher Klassen has designed the jam as a jumping off point from Art Brew, the drawing and coffee meet-ups, happening Wednesday mornings at 8 a.m. for the last few years, to give artists a chance to enjoy a little company while they draw. This event will follow the Comic Jam format, passing a piece of paper around for each participant to draw or write a frame, expounding on the previous person’s contribution. “The idea was planted when New Vintage Theatre hosted the Kelowna Animae and Comic-Con Festival in the spring,” said Klassen. “That was the first time I had really seen any kind of animation and comics community coming together in force in this town.” Turn out for the event
at the Black Box Theatre was huge, with near 300 people coming through the door by day’s end, and while that event was oriented at the fan community, rather than creators, Klassen believes it’s a bellwether for success. “People can drop in, grab a page, add a panel and leave if they want—or stay for the day,” he said. Klassen is planning an academic career focused on comics and hopes to work in the industry as well. Kelowna’s first Comic Jam runs June 28, July 5 and July 12 at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, beginning at 11 a.m. Art Brew is still running and will be posting times to its Facebook page Art Brew (facebook.com/ groups/art.brew). Artists, writers, comic lovers and anyone interested in having fun is encouraged to participate in Kelowna’s first Comic Jam. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

The Kelowna-based OGO Car Share Co-op, which launched its services in August 2013, added a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid to its roster of vehicles this week. The Honda Civic will be the fourth vehicle in the fleet for the more than 90 co-op members to use. “We are extremely excited that OGO is able to add another vehicle to our fleet,” said executive director Christian Brandt “and provide our members with more vehicles to choose from to help meet our members’ transportation needs. “We have seen a significant increase over the past couple of months in usage as well as in new member sign ups where it is time now for the co-op and its members to add another vehicle.” The City of Kelowna has been a great help in this process and the new vehicle will be parked at the
City Hall parking lot right next to a pickup truck that also belongs to the carshare, said Brandt. The co-op plans to expand its fleet to more neighbourhoods this year. This supports OGO’s mandate to provide more people with convenient and affordable access to carsharing and to provide a practical alternative to owning a vehicle or second family car. “We see more and more individuals and businesses embracing the concept of car sharing” said Brandt. “If everything goes well in the next couple of months, we want to grow our fleet to seven to eight vehicles by the end of this year.” Many businesses have realized that carsharing is a cost-effective and convenient alternative to managing their own fleets or reimbursing their employees for business
trips. Furthermore, carsharing provides employees with an alternative to the single-occupant vehicle commute, allowing them to bike, bus, or walk to work. Employees can easily book vehicles online for site visits or other business-related trips without the costs and burden of car ownership. In addition, through roaming agreements with other carshare organizations OGO members have access to more than 300 cars in Vancouver and 50 more within B.C. and across Canada. Carsharing provides members with vehicles on an hourly as-needed basis; vehicles are conveniently located in downtown Kelowna and Pandosy Village, and members can book online to access vehicles whenever they need.

Teachers’ strike carnage may add summer school Tom Fletcher CONTRIBUTOR
Teacher pickets will target locations where summer school is being carried out if they don’t have a settlement of their strike by June 30. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced that decision Wednesday, as he prepared for the first meeting
with B.C. Public School Employers’ Association since a full-scale strike began June 17. The meeting has been characterized as “exploratory talks” dealing with possible mediation. BCPSEA has applied to the Labour Relations Board for summer school offerings to be declared essential services, if they are “secondary remed-

ial programs provided to students who have failed a secondary level course.” Summer programs for elementary school students, international students or secondary students trying to improve a passing grade would not be protected by an LRB order, meaning the majority of summer programs would not go ahead. Iker said the union is also considering the plight of B.C.’s five modified calendar schools, which have three month-long breaks instead of the traditional summer vacation. They are in the middle of their final three-month term and are facing more disruption than other schools. BCPSEA has also applied for essential service protection so they can resume operation. Iker said if there is no deal by June 30, BCTF negotiators would be available to continue talks, rather than take the summer off as they have done in previous disputes. The two sides remain far apart on wages and benefits, with a long-running dispute over class size and special needs support levels going back to court this fall.

Elite earning club at City Hall adds new members Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
More Kelowna city employees than ever are receiving total remuneration of more than $75,000 per year now. This year 289 city workers are included, from the city’s top paid bureaucrat, city manager Ron Mattiussi ($259,000) right on down to a licensing and bylaw enforcement officer who just squeaked onto this year’s list at $75,001. Last year, 256 city workers received total remuneration of $75,000 or more. The figures include salary plus any additional amounts, such as paid-out vacation time, overtime and other pay. According to the 2014 city remuneration report, which under B.C law must be made public every year before the end of June, a large number of city firefighters now receive more than $75,000 per year. That is, in part, thanks to a provincially mandated arbitration settlement that awarded firefighters across B.C. pay hikes of three per cent for both 2010 and 2011. Those amounts were paid out last year, and because of that they are reflected in the totals for 108 members of the Kelowna Fire Department who made
this year’s list. Regular unionized city workers received a pay hike of 1.5 per cent last year as part of their existing labour contract. A total of 71 of the 108 firefighters on the list received totals of more than $100,000 in 2013 and, ironically, one platoon captain even made more than his boss, fire chief Jeff Carlisle. ($137,000) For 2014, the list was spit into three sections: management, firefighters and regular city workers represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees. In addition to the 108 firefighters on the list, there were 102 managers and 79 CUPE-represented workers. As expected, Mattiussi received the largest amount. He also wracked more than $19,000 in expenses. Deputy city manager Paul Macklem was second on the list, receiving $196,000; community services general manager John Vos received a total of $192,000; and business development director Jim Paterson received $170,000. Meanwhile, on council, Mayor Walter Gray received $62,034 in taxable remuneration in 2013 and another $29,717 that was non-taxable for a total of $91,751. He listed $11,763 in expenses.
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
His councillors received just over $21,000 each in taxable remuneration and another $10,500 in non-taxable remuneration for a total of just over $31,000 each. Unlike the mayor, their jobs are considered part-time. Coun. Maxine DeHart was by far the biggest claimer of expenses, notching $6,297 in 2013, while the second highest expense claimant was Coun. Robert Hobson with $3,018. Hobson is also chairman of the Okanagan Regional District and a member of the B.C. Municipal Finance Authority. Two councillors, Andre Blanleil and Gerry Zimmermann, did not report any expenses last year.
If a sudden interest in building hotels is a measure of a city’s economic well-being, then things are looking good for Kelowna. While Westcorp’s 24-storey tower hotel proposal is continuing to jump through all the right hoops (see story A1), another hotel will soon be scrutinized in the public sphere. Ryan Smith, the City of Kelowna’s urban planning manager, said his department is reviewing a proposal from Argus Properties. In the area of Manhattan and Sunset Drive, the Kelowna-based developer would like to build a 26-storey hotel. “They’ve made their development application for a rezoning and development permit,” he

That said, Smith pointed out that staff hadn’t landed on a position about the proposal just yet. What he would say is that it’s exciting to see so much development in downtown Kelowna. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had this much interest,” he said. The proposal will like-

More to fear than fear itself
W
hen shots ring out through residential neighbourhoods and flak-jacketed police officers with assault rifles are down on the corner, it can be of little comfort to hear that we—the generally law-abiding public—are not at risk. Yet this is the message we receive all too often, when violent, targeted crime hits closer to home. This was the message recently in a White Rock neighbourhood, when police received a call for assistance from a resi-
dence, only to find a homicide scene when they arrived. While neighbours were assured there was no threat to public safety, the presence of a police dog sniffing an ever-expanding cordoned off area and the arrival of members of the Emergency Response Team, guns at the ready, indicated otherwise. True, most of us are not involved in a lifestyle that brings us into frequent contact with the police, or makes us a potential target for shootings or other violent acts. And true, the police often have more information
on crime victims and potential suspects than they’re ready—or legally able—to share. But that’s not exactly reassuring once violence invades our own, usually quiet streets. We don’t need another Surrey Six tragedy to tell us that the violence engendered by criminal activity is conducted with anything but surgical precision. Innocent people can, and do, get caught in the crossfire of revenge exacted, warnings sent—even police standoffs. While the ability to deploy highly-armed, armour-wear-
ing officers may indeed be necessary under certain circumstances, it should never be considered a ‘fix’ for the basic problem. However jaded we get, we cannot permit this to become the norm. As professional and effective as the officers may be in performing their duties, their presence must be considered a last resort. The point is that having a suburb transformed into a war zone must be the exception, not the rule. —Peace Arch News

t’s great to be back home following a successful trade mission to China in my capacity as agriculture minister. This builds on previous trade missions led by our premier aimed at showcasing the diversity of B.C. goods, growing markets for them, and promoting investment in our province. It was a pleasure to be part of the B.C. delegation that included representatives from the blueberry, cherry and specialty meat industries. We spent more than a week meeting with officials in Beijing, Guangzhou and
Shanghai—centres with a rapidly-growing middle class who want new experiences, and access to foreign brands and high-quality specialty products. This trade misNorm Letnick sion has resulted in an agreement between the governments of Canada and China that will lead to full, unimpeded access for fresh B.C. cherries into China. In 2013, B.C. shipped $3.9 million worth of fresh cherries to China for the first time. With this new agreement, B.C. cherry growers estimate up to $20 million dollars in new rev-

enue annually in the next few years. There’s positive news to report in other areas as well, benefiting different regions of the province. We continue to make progress towards fresh B.C. blueberries being approved for sale in the Chinese market. It’s estimated B.C. blueberry growers could be looking at up to $65 million worth of exports a year once the agreement is fully implemented. This trade mission also built on the already successful partnerships across the agrifoods sector including pork, beef and value-added products such as syrups, concentrates, sauces, seasonings and dessert fillings. While the USA continues to be the largest export market for B.C.
agrifoods, China is now second and growing rapidly. In 2013, more than $1.8 billion worth of goods was exported to the USA, up 5.8% over 2012. By comparison we exported $234.4 million worth of B.C. agrifoods to China in 2013, up a whopping 37.9% over 2012. Here’s what 2013 Canadian exports to China looked like—fish and seafood, $462 million; wine, $18 million; blueberries, $15 million; and cherries, $4 million. And we continue to explore opportunities for other products with great market potential including red meat, poultry, seafood and baby food. There’s a reason why our province is making those inroads and leading
the country in export growth to China. B.C. has a good presence in China, with 4 offices and 28 representatives working to strengthen existing partnerships and create more of them. We are employing successful strategies to capitalize on the many regional markets that comprise the opportunity for B.C. in China, using prized skills like patience, preparation and professionalism. That’s why we need to continue building confidence and reinforcing B.C.’s stellar reputation of producing high-quality, trusted foods. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country and B.C.’s Agriculture Minister.

BIKES Dog Pound fee ‘a week’s wage’ for most people FOR SALE
To the editor: On Sunday, June 17, our dog Bonnie escaped from our yard by digging a humongous hole under the fence in her backyard. She was later picked up by the dog control. When they phoned to inform she us was in their possession they also informed us we had a fine of
$800 to pay in order to release her. We objected to pay such a hefty fine, she had not terrorized the neighbourhood or created any duress to anyone. Bonnie has a very gentle nature, anyone who knows her loves her to bits. We attempted to have her released on a lesser
fine, they came down to $550, but now we have to pay in addition to this fine a $20 a day fine for her keep in the pound. We have been to the pound twice so far without any luck. Now they are giving us 24 hours to make payment or they will put her up for adoption.
QUALITY
USED
Bonnie is nine years old and a very loyal and gentle dog, she is under extreme duress and is kept in a kennel whereas she is used to the liberty of her yard and suffers from detachment from her owner. Has the greed of the Central Okanagan Regional District come to the point of making an
animal suffer? We are not opposed to paying a fine, but make the fine a reasonable one. This is a week’s wage for a lot of people. Please help us fight our cause. Ralf Slotter, Kelowna
earned dollars to support it, there would be no market at all. The market belongs to the people. The current problems of rain, port-a-potty, parking in mud fields and no access for wheelchairs is not exactly an
ideal location for a market. It’s about time we had a decent market and Urban Square (north end of downtown Kelowna) sounds like the exact sort of place we need and I would visit weekly, even during the winter.
A period building with character and charm, indoor decent toilets, access for wheelchairs, coffee shops, bread shops, pies, art, wine and food fairs are all the components that are required to have a successful market
and I strongly believe that Kelowna is ready for this. Wake up people, have your say. It’s not about what the farmers want, it’s about what you, the people, want. Mark Fry, Kelowna
More docks to learn fishing needed in Okanagan
To the editor: We are very excited at Okanagan Fisheries Foundation to learn of the proposed dock on Shannon Lake. (District Seeks Public Feedback on Shannon Lake Floating Dock, June 20 Capital News.) Having attended the Kids Fishing Day at Shannon Lake earlier this year and experiencing first hand the difficulty of fishing off the weedy bank with small kids, the intro-
duction of a dock will not only enhance the fishing opportunities at Shannon Lake but also provide families with safe and easily accessible lake fishing from a dock, something that is severely overlooked in this community. Access to fishing, particularly on the big lakes and the urban lakes, is extremely difficult unless you own a boat. Our local councils and provincial governmental bodies all
overlook the fact that fishing access to most of our local lakes requires a boat big enough to have yourself and two kids in and a lot of families simply cannot afford and accommodate a boat in their lives despite their kids interest in fishing. In recent times, fishing has become the least attractive part of tourism in the Okanagan, there has been a public disconnect from our local lake fish-
eries and our kids don’t get to fish on a regular basis and develop a real passion for the sport of fishing and thus our local environment. We don’t even have much signage on our lakes that inform us about our fisheries, boat ramps are busy with boaters who know nothing about these fisheries, their importance and their fragility, and most places that have structures you could
access these lakes from it is prohibited to fish from them. We are huge advocates of the proposed dock on Shannon Lake and would support similar structures on any of the urban lakes in order to provide easier access for kids to the sport of fishing. Mat Hanson, Okanagan Fisheries Foundation
Grade 8s perspective on Okanagan water quality
To the editor: We are three Grade 8 students who decided to focus on the issue of water pollution and water quality. We discovered some interesting and some disturbing information. We were concerned when we heard that antibacterial soaps contain the chemical triclosan, which is very harmful to the body and also lakes. This chemical kills very important bacteria that contributes to the filtration system as this system depends on the process of using bacteria. When triclosan enters the lake, it breaks down
into harmful dioxins that interfere with the ecology and make unwanted lake weed grow faster. Minnesota has been the first state to ban the use of antibacterial soaps due to all the harm it causes. We think that this would be a good thing to do in the Okanagan as well, considering that there’s no evidence for triclosan soaps being better at keeping diseases from spreading than just washing with regular soap and water. In Kelowna, we have storm drain ponds that are located near large commercial parking lots and specifically car dealer-
ships. The problem with this is that storm drain water can contain very harmful chemicals and sediments that do not get filtered before going straight into our lake and rivers. Concrete, asphalt, and asphalt sealers release sand particles from the pavement being worn down and more sediment builds up over time from the previous sand and dirt. When this sediment goes down the drains and enters our lakes and rivers, the water becomes cloudy and holds less oxygen. This severely affects the ecology of the water and
It is very important that we don’t flush extra pills down the toilet and that we dispose of them safely. We are hoping that this letter in some way can raise awareness so that people can know how we are harming our water and realize that what goes down our drains affects our lake life and drinking water.

Beating of ill woman nets 3-year jail term Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The ugliness that resides in Kelowna’s underworld was spotlighted during a Wednesday morning sentencing in B.C. Supreme Court. In a case that Justice Al Betton deemed “yet another example of the horrors of drug use,” James Miklik was sentenced to two years in prison, on top of 374 days he’d already spent behind bars. Miklik, 37, pleaded guilty to an aggravated assault charge from 2013, and the sentence he was handed positively reflected that admission. Especially because his victim, a 52-year-old woman, had no recollec-
tion of the incident. She had moved into Miklik’s basement with her boyfriend a week before the June 2013 altercation that left her without memory of the confrontation, her spleen or sight in her left eye. Those injuries were on top of a brain injury and multiple face and rib fractures. According to Crown counsel Murray Kaay, the woman was supposed to procure some heroin for Miklik. He felt she had “shorted” him in the area of $50 to $60, and confronted her about the matter. Although no witnesses were in the room when the confrontation turned violent, the woman’s boyfriend saw the aftermath.
Hotel welcomed as boost for downtown Proposed from A1 of what is currently Mill Street also had to be passed. They were both unanimously approved by council. Following the meeting, Milroy called council’s decisions “really exciting,” adding the last major hurdle will be getting a development permit for the project, a move that will require another public hearing. But that is expected to go just as smoothly as Tuesday evening’s public hearing. The hotel, which will front onto Kerry Park, will turn Mill Street into a pedestrian walkway separating the hotel from the park. The project is not using any park land. Councillors predicted the Westcorp hotel, which will include restaurants, a small conference centre and retails stores on the Water Street side, will help revitalize downtown Kelowna, giving it an anchor at the south end. Milroy said working drawings for the project still have to be completed and that will take time. He said he would like to see construction start next year and be complete by early 2017. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Kaay told the court the boyfriend had walked into their bedroom and found her bloodied, on the floor, while Miklik stood above her. Miklik fled the house at that point, and as police canvassed the area they interviewed neighbours he’d spoken with as they went. “He (told them) he hit a female crackhead who had stolen from him,” Kaay told the court. “‘A thief is a thief,’” Kaay said Miklik had told a neighbour, “‘it doesn’t matter if you’re a guy or a girl, everyone gets treated the same.’” Miklik was arrested that same night and treated later that night for what’s considered a boxing injury. He’s contended all along that he punched the woman four times, and was shocked by the nature of her injuries. The damage wrought could be in part to the frail condition the woman was in when the beating was rendered. She suffered from hepeitits C, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic ob-

structive pulmonary disease, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and was an IV drug addict. Defence lawyer Michael Kennedy said while the victim was in no way responsible for the beating she suffered, her presence in Miklik’s life was evidence of a larger problem
facing his client. Miklik’s drug abuse, which Kennedy said was related to a painful condition called pancreatitis, had all but destroyed his life. His victim and her boyfriend moving into the basement was evidence of that. They were homeless drug addicts, Miklik had
moved in to help offset the mounting debts he was facing. It was an ill conceived plan, noted the lawyer upon questioning from Justice Betton. It’s ultimately cost him his home, his family and years of his life. The sentence handed to Miklik will put him in
federal prison. It’s a result he’d requested, instead of the provincial system. In the federal system he’ll be able to access the programming that will aid him in a battle for longterm sobriety. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

“These relationships will be extremely valuable as we roll out the university’s contribution to the innovation agenda in the interior of B.C.” UBC is already enjoying the benefits of these new partnerships. Professor JacquesOlivier Pesme, director of the Wine and Spirit Academy at Kedge Business School, has spent the past year working with the B.C. wine community on new collective strategies to move the industry further. Professors Peter Childs and Dan Plant from Imperial College, London, will pay a return visit to the Okanagan campus later this year to develop new programs in health sciences with UBC. Orkestra is also contributing important content to the new Master of Management program set to start next year.

Theatrical challenge Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Strange and wonderful and a rare opportunity to see a famous painter reveal his process on stage—well, the character of a famous painter . This year’s Fred Skeleton Theatre production, Red, is so good it collected almost every award at the Okanagan Zone Theatre Festival. In this challenging piece, the young company portrays abstract expressionist Mark Rothko’s tumultuous relationship with his young assistant, Ken, in an emotionally charged boundary-pushing staging that should leave audiences on their edge of their seats. O-Zone Festival adjudicator Michael Armstrong has since helped hone the performance, pushing to see Rothko staged as a bit of a villain, where director Rob Mason-Brown had seen him as more of a father figure to Ken. “The play works better the more of an asshole Rothko is, so we’ve really worked on the characters a lot to remove some of the more sympathetic scenes,” said MasonBrown. Fred Skeleton is all about risk taking and dramatic theatre that pushes boundaries. Created in university by MasonBrown, the project was revived a couple of years ago as a niche company he and his wife, Shannon Mason-Brown, could run out of their living room, and appears on the cusp of establishing itself as a staple in what’s quickly becoming a lush theatrical environment. “We always looked for shows that

were a little bit strange, a little bit weird and that’s where I’ve kind of kept going in Kelowna,” said Mason-Brown. Last year, this meant taking on Venus and Furs. The play recreates a theatre company’s production of a sadomasochist novella, seeing the power dynamics between actor and director utterly destroyed in the process (Roman Polanski has just released it on film). This year, Red brings actor Chris Froese, who plays Rothko, to the stage with Jacob Holloway, Ken, to create a red hot mess as they prepare and paint a canvass of creative differences—both in product and relationship. “I want to do thought-provoking, challenging pieces that leave audiences thinking about their own opinions and that really resonate with people and push the envelope,” said Holloway, who ultimately picked
the script in preparing for his University of Alberta entrance audition and wound up convincing the Mason-Browns to scrap their original selection and run with Red. The monologue he worked through has the kind of range—anger, sadness, hurt and disbelief—to catch the eye of a theatre professor, but it’s also indicative of a killer story, laid out in the sort of movie script-style dialogue to make theatre palatable and attractive to any audience. Penned by American Playwright John Logan, whose scripts have spawned blockbuster movie successes like The Aviator, the plot sees Rothko and Ken attack a group of murals for a Four Season Hotel restaurant, Ken brashly questioning Rothko’s theories of art and his decision to accede to work on such a commercial project with a voracity to leave actor and stage looking like a paintball bloodbath. Picking up the O-Zone’s best production, best director (Rob MasonBrown), best actor (Froese), best supporting actor (Holloway), best set decor (Shannon MasonBrown), and best backstage (Vanessa Lomas), it’s clearly a hit. Red plays this Friday, June 27 at the Black Box Theatre in Kelowna at 8 p.m., in Vernon at the Vernon Hub Collective Saturday, June 28, at the Shuswap Theatre on July 4 and in the Mainstage BC Festival in Kamloops on July 11.

t’s summer and that means the Kelowna Art Gallery’s Artist’s Garden Project is back for another year. This is the second in this series, conceived and produced by Kelowna-based artist Lynden Beesley. Her idea was to emulate a medieval herb garden, as the Rotary Courtyard space at the Gallery has always reminded her of a cloister. True to the form of medieval planned gardens, Beesley’s version, titled Hortus Conclusus (which is Latin for enclosed garden) is arranged symmetrically around a central point. In the middle of the space is a water feature incorporating a bronze sculpture made by the artist. Wood-sided raised beds in L-shapes are arranged around this fountain. In the corners of the courtyard are bench seats sheltered by arbors made from woven branches and vines. Beesley commissioned local artist Annabel Stanley to create these, as well as a screen that masks the modern-day workings of the irrigation pump and boom box that plays medieval music tucked in one cor-
ner. Potted climbing roses have been placed adjacent to these structures and
ing and cooking) and the plants have been grouped accordingly. The medieval garden was considered a sanc-

tuary, and many comments by visitors to date this spring have mentioned this feeling. There is something peaceful and contemplative about the space, not only due to the plants themselves, but also linked to the successful consideration of the proportions of the space in planning the three-dimensional elements it
now contains. The Kelowna Art Gallery’s garden projects are accompanied by webbased publications, so that images may be added to the site throughout the length of time the plants are in place. Beesley’s site contains an in-depth, illustrated interview conducted by the gallery’s curator about the history of gardens, and how gardening relates to her practice as an artist. Beesley has a BFA from Queen’s University and normally works in sculpture and printmaking. She has lived in Kelowna since 2001 and has been active in the Okanagan as an exhibiting artist. Each artist commissioned to create a garden in the gallery’s courtyard is given a full year so that they are allotted all four seasons. So the Hortus Conclusus will be in place until the Spring of 2015. Come to visit often, as, like any living thing, the garden changes frequently.

much of the budget spent on plot or character development (the script is written by Ehren Kruger, who penned the last one)—just a lot of special effects and action. And even without former leads Shia LaBeouf and Josh Duhammel, Wahlberg on his own more than makes up for both of them with acting chops and star power. And if you are not into Transformers, there are a lot of great movies still playing in town to catch

ransformers: Age of Extinction is the fourth entry in the big-screen adaptation of the popular toy line from Hasbro, and although it is not exactly a reboot of the series it does feature an almost all-new cast. After the last film, director Michael Bay had expressed that he would not return for any more sequels, but it appears now that executive producer Steven Spielberg has convinced him to do another three films. Also signed on for the entire next trilogy is new star Mark Wahlberg, who worked with Bay last year on Pain and Gain. Set four years after the last instalment, Wahlberg plays a single father and mechanic who comes across a rusted semi-truck who turns out to be Optimus Prime. Together with his daughter (Nicola Peltz)

JERSEY BOYS I could have the shortest review in history: “Just go see it! And take someone with you!!” It’s not often we get Broadway to Hollywood, it’s usually the other way around. Jersey Boys was first performed at La Jolla Playhouse in 2004 and has since gone on to rake in over $1.7 billion (yup, billion). Lion King surpasses that but it’s still impressive. This Clint Eastwood film, is the story of four young men who found stardom as the Four Seasons with Frankie Valli as their lead singer. In

BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen their heyday, they were the fourth most successful pop act of the ’60s, right after The Beatles, Elvis and Ray Charles. The Four Seasons had hits the same month as The Beach Boys—August 1962—and while the Beach Boys were more media savvy, The Four Seasons had so many remembered songs: Rag Doll, Oh What a Night, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like a Man and the list goes on. With the cast, which includes Christopher Walken as the mob-father Gyp DeCarlo who loved the way Frankie sings My Mother’s Eyes, we see that Frankie’s only way out of his mob-run neighbourhood is to use his talent and become part of the group. This show was filmed on sound stages in California, but near the end of production, Eastwood took the whole cast to Belleville’s Steven Crane Housing Project to shoot exteriors of the old neighbourhood, including the house where Valli grew up, and it makes for an amazing scene at the end of the film. Needless to say I loved this show. Sure I was a big fan of Valli, who has the same birthdate as me, May 3 (different year), but it was the pure sound of the day and the incredible lyrics that all of us could relate to that made this group such a success. They broke up in 1979, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and this July 4 Frankie Valli will perform at the concert, A Capital Fourth which will air as it does every 4th of July, on PBS. Yup, he’s 80 years old and still going strong, and so are all of us who grew up loving The Four Seasons. Rock on. You’ll love the music and the walk down memory lane. I give Jersey Boys five reels.

Ok Rockets’ coach steps aside The Okanagan Rockets are in the market for a new head coach. The B.C. Major Midget League champs are looking for a replacement Mack O’Rourke, who stepped down this week to pursue a job opportunity outside of the hockey business. In his first season behind the bench, O’Rourke helped lead the Rockets to a 32-5-3 regular season record, followed by a final series win over Vancouver Northwest Giants, as Okanagan won its second B.C. championship. The Rockets later won the Pacific regional final in Red Deer, before capturing a bronze medal at the Telus Cup national midget hockey championship in Moose Jaw.
O’Rourke, who has taken on a job in the drilling industry with Calgary-based Canadian Energy Services, regrets having to leave the hockey world but is excited about his new position. “As much as I love hockey and what we were doing here, I couldn’t pass on this opportunity,” said O’Rourke. “It was a no-brainer, a very good position for me so, for now, hockey is going on the back burner. It’s time for me to get on with life, so to speak.” While disappointed in losing O’Rourke, the Rockets general manager David Michaud was thrilled for his former coach. “It wasn’t a call I was hoping to get,” said Mi-
chaud. “Mack and I had every intention of continuing together to keep our success rolling, however when Mack was presented with this opportunity, it was a bit of a no-brainer for a young man who is getting his professional life going. “We wish Mack nothing but success and there is no doubt he will do a great job in his new position.” O’Rourke has made it clear he hasn’t closed the door on hockey and, at the very least, can see himself back in the game in the future to coach his own kids. All in all, O’Rourke is grateful for the experiences hockey has given him. “The people I’ve met and the opportunities I was given, I’ll always

Major Midget League’s Okanagan Rockets. be thankful for that,” he said. “To have the season (the Rockets) we had was amazing and I’ll never forget that. The rink is only three minutes from my house, so I’ll still stay in touch, I’ll always have my phone if they need anything. Once a Rocket,
always a Rocket.” A busy and eventful year for O’Rourke will continue in July when he gets married. He will continue to live in Kelowna, but will travel to Alberta for the majority of his employment.
International fastball and a traditional Maori dance will be front and centre next week at King’s Stadium when the New Zealand national junior men’s team makes a stop in Kelowna. The Kiwi juniors will take on the Kelowna Major Men’s Fastball Association all-star team in an exhibition doubleheader Wednesday, July 2 beginning at 6:30 p.m. Prior to the first pitch of the opening game, the New Zealanders will be performing their renowned Haka dance, a traditional ancestral war cry. Game organizer and local player Richard Haldane has seen the dance many times in the past and never grows tired of the spectacle. “It’s just a great show,” Haldane said of the Haka dance. “Bascially they’re warning their competitors that they’re coming for you. It’s almost bone-chilling, a really neat experience and will be great for the crowd.” As far as the fastball is concerned, Haldane said fans will see a young, high-end international team in action against an older and experienced group of local players. “New Zealand’s senior team is the world champs and this is the feeder team to that, so you’re going to see some world-class players in

action,” said Haldane. “It’ll be a good test for us, but we have a lot of guys who have played high-end ball and we should give them some good competition. They (New Zealand) don’t want easy games because they’re preparing for junior worlds in Whitehorse.” The Kelowna all-stars are: • Centennials—Travis Kunz, Trent Kunz, Tyler Siegmann and Brandon West. • Six Mile Raiders— Chris Bonneau and Shane Miller. • Andre’s —Chad Blanleil, Travis Blanleil, Kevin Careless, Dean Hyde and Colin McKenzie. • Rangers—Aaron Bacon, Chad Bozak, Josh Chernoff, Nik Chernoff, George Currie, Rich Haldane and Scott Parsons. The coaches are Lea Kunz and Rene Blanleil. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. with kids under 17 receiving free admission. All minor ball players are urged to wear their team colours.

Kelowna duo warms up for worlds Kelowna’s Quinci Birker and Natalie Livingston continued their preparation for this summer’s U17 World Beach Volleyball Championships with a strong effort last weekend at the Penticton Beach Volleyball Pro Series. After finishing fourth in the AAA pool, Birker and Livingston shifted into the AA division for Sunday’s playoff round. The duo made quick work in their quarterfinal beating Leanne Wohlford and Sydney Thornton 21-16 , 21-13. With their quarterfinal behind them, they entered the semifinal confidently and did a great job of serving aggressively and com-
municating well to earn a 21-16, 21-17 victory over Mary McMains and Doris Danelon. In the final, Birker and Livingston really hit their stride, easily defeating the pair of Zuzana Fulkova and Lisa Pham 21-12, 21-17 to win gold in the AA division. The intent was to compete at a higher level than either girl had ever competed in order to challenge the team to its fullest, and this was indeed achieved. Another Kelowna team, Liam Birker and Tanner March had a successful weekend in Penticton. Birker and March swept their pool in the AA division to advance to the AAA category

Heat schedules released for new Can West season
CONTRIBUTED
KELOWNA’S Liz Borrett will run in the Midsummer 8K on Sunday, July 6.
The UBC Okanagan Heat intend to assert their presence as strong post-season contenders in 2014-2015 in the newlook Canada West basketball landscape. Heading into the program’s fourth year of CIS competition, armed with a talented veteran presence and a healthy dose of new recruits, the squads are no longer a new presence in Canada West. This season brings a novel design to league play. Previously, Canada West has featured two divisions of eight teams – the Pacific and the Prairie. In 2014-15 these geographic divisions will be replaced by a six-team ‘Explorer’ and an 11-team ‘Pioneer’ division. The UBC Okanagan
Heat will compete alongside B.C. schools: the Fraser Valley Cascades, Thompson Rivers WolfPack, and the UNBC Timberwolves, along with Calgary’s Mount Royal Cougars, and CIS newcomer MacEwan Griffins, from Edmonton, in the Explorer category. There will be no interdivisional games on the 20-game regular schedule. The top three Explorers will earn a Canada West playoff ticket. The Heat will open their season on Nov. 7 and 8 at home against University of the Fraser Valley. On the women’s side, the Cascades are favoured to top the new Explorer division, finishing second at the Canada West Final Four and 3rd at the CIS
National Championships last season. On the men’s side, the Cascades finished fourth in Canada West. Despite the tough matchup, both Heat squads played UFV to within 15 points in the 13-14 season. With strong new additions for the Heat and some talented departures at UFV, it will be a fierce inauguration to the new season. UBC Okanagan’s first meeting with Canada West rookies the MacEwan Griffins will also occur in Kelowna in the Heat’s second home stand, on Nov. 21 and 22. Mount Royal rounds out the only other out of province opponent for the Kelowna squad this season. Heat fans will not be privy to the annual battle with
the other B.C. Southern Interior squad Thompson Rivers until Jan. 30 and 31. A shorter schedule highlights the importance of each and every weekend match up for any team with playoff ambitions. A budding rivalry with an increasingly competitive UNBC team from Prince George will close out the regular season. The Heat will host the final two games on Feb. 13 and 14. The small league will see more frequent match ups and double headers that will cultivate rivalries and help to draw raucous crowds from both the student body and the community at large.

Boston winner Borrett to run in Midsummer 8K With half a dozen marathons and more than 35 half marathons to her credit, Kelowna’s Liz Borrett knows a thing or two about long-distance running. On Sunday, July 6 the Kelowna woman will step outside of her comfort zone to try a much shorter distance—the Kelowna Running Club’s Midsummer 8K. Borrett, 75, who won her age group (75-79) at the Boston Marathon this spring, admits it may take some adjusting but she’s excited to enter the race. “I actually find the longer distances easier, while in the 8k I just can get going,” Borrett said. “It takes me a little while to kind of settle in and then the race is over.” An advocate of any kind of running, Borrett says the Midsummer 8K is a great way for beginners or casual runners to spend some time exercising on a summer morning. “The 8K is a wonderful race to be introduced to running, it’s an easy distance and to be part of the culture of running,” she said. “Take the focus away from your time and

Dad went along, leaving Melissa with the RCMP officer and others dealing with the crash aftermath. Melissa was counting her family’s blessings as she filled me in. She was thankful that it was not quite a direct
head-on crash, the impact point being near the driver’s side front wheel. And at least her mom was walking around at the scene. Yes, there seemed to be a lot of blood, but a few stitches and she’ll be released that night from the hospital. It’s a common gut reaction when something horrible happens: “At least it wasn’t worse.” I had a couple gut reactions. That wasn’t one of them. One was shared by the RCMP officer who was openly questioning how someone could have caused such a crash and left the scene without even stopping to see if the victim might need immediate medical attention. Ironically, a brief stop might have increased the chance of getting away
with it. The offending driver might have noticed, and picked up, the incriminating license plate laying among the pieces of vehicle debris on the road. My deepest gut reaction was a feeling of utter dread about the journey Melissa’s mother is now on. I was almost in tears with the realization of how she was going to feel waking up the next morning and what I regretfully believe to be a likelihood of never fully recovering from the whiplash type injuries that occur during such a crash. If I was a praying person, I would still be on my knees praying for the miracle of a quick and full recovery. I happen not to believe in miracles. I also know that as miraculous as our medical system seems to be at
times, only so much can be done to help the healing of ligaments, tendons and other tissues that are damaged when part of us is held back by a seat belt while other parts are not. In case the fallen license plate has not already led to the identification of the offending driver by the time this is published, please contact me if you know anything about this crash or about a damaged white SUV. However empty a consolation, I can at least lend a hand to ensuring that justice is done. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims.

A HAPPY REUNION…
Rutland High School Classmates of 1964 gathered at the Kelowna Springs Golf Club for their 50th reunion June 13 and 14 and were surprised by a special guest speaker, Mrs. Agnes (Graf) Weicker. She was a teacher at Rutland from 1946 to 1970. She is pictured above with a number of her former Grade 1 students. At the reunion banquet, she recounted many stories of Rutland, reminding us of the times when our parents came together and began rebuilding a supportive postWorld War 2 rural community. Her presentation touched on old memories of our first impressionable school days. Weicker is 90 years of age and now lives in Sidney on Vancouver Island. She recently published a book entitled A Walk Down Memory Lane. Former student Rick Preston thanked her noting that she had been an inspiration in Grade1 and once again inspired us with her wonderful stories although he did indicate that he would like to renegotiate his Grade 1 report card. The reunion was supported with many door prizes from local Rutland merchants and well attended with events at Rutland Senior Secondary, Ancient Hill Estate Winery and Kelowna Springs.
Butterflies will be free on July 20 The second annual Butterfly Release to support the Central Okanagan Hospice Association will take place July 20 with activities planned between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Depending upon the heat of the day, the actual release is planned for 11:30 a.m. Thanks to presenting sponsors, Bill and Audrey Bennett and event sponsors, Bayshore Home Health, Global Okanagan, Castanet, Source Office Furniture and Systems, the Village of Kettle Valley, Cheeky
Monkey Graphics, Dignity/First Memorial, Quantum Graphics and others, the event is intended to be an enjoyable and meaningful day to remember loved ones and participate in activities for kids, entertainment and more. Toby Tannas, of Global Okanagan, will be the MC, with music and songs by Gorden James and Tiana Monaghan as well as a Kids Zone with games, face painting, henna painting and more hosted by Bayshore Home Health.

maneuver shaving. Laser is extremely effective, very tolerable and nothing you cannot handle. Stewart is sensitive to the client and pain levels (very tolerable for me) and you will absolutely love the results. Had I known how great the end result was, I would have looked into laser a lot earlier or certainly a lot earlier before or after my shoulder surgery. It would have made my life a lot easier at that time. Now, it’s just great to have the freedom of clean, smooth legs. For a woman, that means a lot. Custom Laser Hair Removal is open Monday to Saturday, with a flexible appointments schedule and lots of parking. She offers 25 per cent off the first lower leg, bikini

CENTRAL OKANAGAN
SkyView Terraces: Luxury townhome living SkyView Terraces
Barry Gerding
When developer Wim Zuydervelt began planning a new townhome project in Kelowna, he wanted to offer buyers the lavishness of luxury and the allure of affordability. That original vision has evolved into SkyView Terraces, a 40-unit townhome project now under construction near the intersection of Clement and Clifton at 1515 Highland Drive North. Zuydervelt wanted to do something different with this project, build something that was a little different from other housing options in the Central Okanagan. He sat down with architect Garry Tomporowski to come up with a design plan. Zuydervelt said prior to the local real estate market meltdown in 2010, his company, Molenbeek Ventures, had built some high-end homes in the Southridge neighbourhood of the Upper Mission. Most recently, the company had developed the Creekside and Elkridge housing developments, but Zuydervelt was looking to build something that stood out from the crowd. “I spend a lot of time in Europe and was seeing new styles and construction ideas that were coming on stream there and I thought, ‘Why not try some of these in Canada?’ If we like it, there is a pretty good chance others will like it too.” The end result is SkyView Terraces, a development loaded with features, many of which are generally unique to townhomes, from the central vacuum and heated towel bars to
Location: 1515 Highland Drive North Style: Three-storey townhomes in three- and fourbedroom layouts Price: $439,900 to $455,000 Kitchen: Stainless steel counter-depth fridge with external water and ice dispenser; stainless steel gas stove and convection oven; dishwasher; convection microwave; soft close drawers, white quartz countertops; wood cabinets Interior: triple pane windows; hardwood flooring and carpeting; central vacuum; two car garage; heated floor and heated towel bars in master ensuite; rooftop patio Price: $439,900 to $455,000
Artistic rendition of the SkyView Terraces located at the corner of Clement and Clifton in Kelowna. quartz kitchen countertops, geothermal heating and 588 sq.ft. rooftop patio. Crisp, clean and contemporary mark the interior design concept for the three- and four-bedroom townhome options at 1,590 sq. ft. The price range is from $439,900 to $455,000. The kitchen is designed with high-end cabinetry and high energy efficient rating appliances, meant to evoke a sense of relaxation and serenity. Long horizontal stainless steel cabinetry handles are accentuated by the brilliance of the glacial white quartz countertops. Solid wood cabinets are complimented with soft close “Blum” technology drawers and soft door closing hinges.
Large floor porcelain tiles are meant to reflect the calm palette design, combined with the clean line and smooth levered interior door handles. The LED spotlight fixtures again reflect the energy conscious layout, while the triple-pane front windows help minimize the noise of its urban setting. Ceramic tile flooring graces the bathrooms and laundry. Seamless roller blinds ensure maximum sun blocking and privacy. The rooftop patio offers an expansive view over Kelowna’s downtown and is electrically wired for the addition of a hot tub. All this, along with the hardwood floors and soft twist carpeting, reflect the little extras that Zuydervelt
has envisioned—no details spared to ensure a “turn-key” high-end living experience for buyers. “We were looking to build something that would be the best, something we could be proud of to build. And I am proud of what we have done with these town homes,” he said. Erin Jones, with Fortune Marketing, the firm handling the publicity of the development, noted that interest was also expressed by FortisBC and Shaw to partner on certain design features because of Zuydervelt’s commitment to energy efficiency in the design and appliance features included in SkyView Terrace town homes. “They could see the high quality product being built

and wanted to be associated with it as well,” she said. Being a town home development, there would be strata fees, which Zuydervelt says could be $170
to $180 a month to cover home insurance, landscaping and development street maintenance costs. “I think that could drop down to $130 by the time

Of Prime Interest: Mortgage renewal Each mortgage has a specific term meaning you were guaranteed a rate for a set period of time. When a term is coming to a close, most banks will send you a mortgage renewal notice. Mortgage renewals are one of the most neglected decisions made during the life of a mortgage. A study by Bank of Canada in 2011 found that existing bank customers don’t get the best deal when they renew. People who switch and first-time buyers are getting the best deals. That’s be-
cause new customers offer banks an opportunity to sell more products and they are eager to bring that new business in. Existing customers assume they’ll get the best deal because of their loyalty and so many don’t bother to shop around. Lacking ammunition, the discount they get is not as much. Many homeowners stay with their existing mortgage lender because they believe it is too time consuming to shop around for a better rate. That is where a mortgage
SkyView close to city downtown core continued from B1
Zuydervelt says SkyView Terrace is being marketed to buyers who are young professionals looking to live close to downtown but with a quieter lifestyle, those looking to downsize and for first-time buyers. The grand opening for the
two SkyView Terraces show homes is Saturday, July 12. The on-site sales office will be open from noon to 4 p.m. seven days a week. The grand opening includes a sightseeing tour of the Okanagan for six, donated by Alpine Helicopters. For more, see skyviewterraces.ca or 778-484-2900.
broker can be invaluable. Rates available to a mortgage broker are often as much as 1.7 per cent below the banks posted rate—that calculates into a savings of over $250 per month based on a 250,000 mortgage—over a five-year term that’s $15,000 you will save. A broker will find you the lowest rate and the product best suited to your specific needs at no cost to you. As well, you can be pre-approved up to four months
prior to your mortgage coming available for renewal. This is the best of both worlds for you—a pre-approval will guarantee you the rate for up to 120 days and if the rate goes lower during that period you get the lower rate. A win-win situation. *** Renewal is your time to make changes with your mortgage and not incur a penalty for doing so. You can at this time
increase or decrease the mortgage amount, choose a new payment frequency, change your amortization or the type of mortgage you have. If you have any high interest loans or existing credit card debt, now might be the time to pay them off and include them in your mortgage.. You may also have extra cash available—you can at this time apply it to your mortgage and reduce your mortgage amount penalty
free. You can also leave all as is and simply negotiate a better rate. If you choose to leave your mortgagor, there is no cost involved to renew with another financial institution. Mortgage renewal time is a great opportunity to make the changes that are reflective of your lifestyle today. We all have sharp pencils when it comes to a cell phone contract, data plans or cut rate flights and hotel deals.
But when it comes to banking, we tend to be a complacent fee–tolerant group happy to get something but certainly not the best deal that could be available to us.

One-stop website for buyers, sellers GetToKelowna.com is a one-stop website for Kelowna and Okanagan real estate relocation information. The websites offers such services as setting up clients with a realtor specialized for specific home search demands, provides a valuable relocation deal package upon possession, reduce closing costs and provides extensive relocation information. “We believe Kelowna’s
real estate market is going up,” said GTK co-founder Kashlee Parmiter. “(Mike Huber) and I were both active realtors in Regina and we saw how that community’s real estate has appreciated over the past six or seven years, doubling and sometimes tripling. “Kelowna’s prices have been hovering around their ultra-low 2008 prices for a few years and are finally on the rise.” The real attraction for po-
tential purchasers is based on cost comparisons between different cities. “You can buy a home in Kelowna for up to 50-60 per cent of what that same home will cost you in Calgary, Edmonton, Regina or Saskatoon,” said Parmiter. “When you look at Toronto, Vancouver or Europe, the difference is even greater. We’re letting people know that now is the time to make a move to Kelowna; live in paradise and put
money back in your bank account.” Mike Huber, GTKs co-founder, points out that a resource like GetToKelowna.com rarely exists for potential relocators, and that GTK aims to fill the relocation information gap for the Okanagan. “When making the decision to move here from Regina, we needed to consult a variety of different websites to get the information we needed.

Maintenance ideas for perennials Aside from spring and fall clean-up, I find June is the next busiest maintenance time in my perennial gardens. Today, I would like to share some tips for keeping your perennials looking their best. Most spring bulb foliage has died back and can be removed unless it is hidden under other plants, in which case it can be left to decay out of sight. The early-blooming, evergreen perennials such as Arabis, Aubretia, creeping

phlox, and perennial alyssum, need to be trimmed back and tidied up now. If you wait until fall or next spring, you will be cutting off next year’s flowers. Cut off iris and peony Spending time in the garden allows for delightful close encounters with such beauties as this Swallowtail butterfly, busily feeding flower stems when blooms GWEN STEELE/CONTRIBUTOR here on lavender nectar. are finished. Be sure to cut them well below the foliage to avoid leaving ugly, poking stems. Oriental poppies tend to die back after blooming. Their foliage can be cut right back and will re-grow somewhat. These plants are best planted behind some later-blooming, large plant to hide them and the empty space they leave after their three week, spectacular show. Any plant that self-seeds should be dead-headed before the seed heads mature unless you want many babies. Blue fescue grass is blooming now. Unless you want it to create a meadow, it’s wise to cut off the flower heads. The grass is mainly grown for its blue foliage so the flowers are not of great significance.

by roots and can be a real menace, invading other plants. As soon as it has bloomed it’s a good idea to reduce the diameter of the plant by one half to keep it under control. It is best used as a ground cover in an unirrigated place where it won’t cause problems. I often have many culinary thyme babies. These have proven very useful to fill in a slope where I don’t water. They are free and can be replaced easily if I find other plants for those spaces. Shearing an inch off silver mound artemesia now will prevent the plant from splaying open, as it does when the insignificant flowers open. As you work through the garden, be sure to watch for weeds in your plants. It is amazing how well they hide. The sooner you get them out the better as some form substantial roots. I have two favourite tools for perennial deadheading. When the whole plant is being dead-headed at once, such as creeping phlox, I use long-bladed shears. For cutting individual stems, I use grape pruners. They have scissor-like blades with pruner spring handles, making them much easier on my hands than using scissors.

Heritage brings back memories Boomer Talk: Loving your kids to a fault H ▼ PARENTING
ow many of us have the opportunity to revisit a property where we spent many enjoyable childhood days playing and exploring. I am fortunate to be able to do this whenever I feel like backing off my busy schedule and contemplating my existence past and future. The land south of Guisachan Road between Burtch and Richter was once FROM THE owned by the Cameron GROUND UP family. It was eventually shared by the two brothers—Alistair who lived in the log home situated on Don Richter Street near Burtch Burnett Avenue, and Paddy who lived in the original home built by Lord and Lady Aberdeen which is situated on Guisachan with access off Cameron. Both brothers were my dad’s close friends and he spoke of them often with admiration and respect. Even though I lived on the 10-acre parcel across from what is now Cottonwoods Extended Care Facility, my friends and I couldn’t resist the temptation to jump the fence and explore the vast acreage of the Guisachan Ranch. There were sheep, cows, horses and other livestock to be investigated and somewhat harassed I’m now embarrassed to say. I can remember on a couple of occasions being reprimanded for chasing sheep from both my dad as well as Paddy Cameron. As time went on, I grew out of my youthful exuberance and got to know the family on a more adult and professional level, trading gardening notes with Mrs. Cameron (Elaine) and talking about the history of the property with Paddy. While I didn’t know Alistair that well, I remember a time when we ran into each other at Woodlawn Service Station on the corner of Glenwood and Richter. He was filling up the tank in his old (even at that time) 1930s Dodge pickup. Even though the hundreds of acres of land once compiling the Guisachan Ranch is now homes and townhouse complexes, a small portion including the original family home has been preserved for the public’s enjoyment. That residence is now the Guisachan Restaurant operated by the internationally renowned chef George Rieder and the surrounding gardens have been restored and are now taken care of by the Okanagan Heritage Society. This is truly a beautiful place to spend quiet time and walk on a historically significant property. Each year, the Kelowna Garden Club holds its annual flower show in the gardens at Guisachan and I am privileged to conduct a walkabout to familiarize folk with some interesting historical facts and stories as well as discuss some of the magnificent plants growing there. This year’s flower show is Saturday, July 5, 11 a.m, to 3:30 p.m., 1060 Cameron Ave. Here is your chance as well to enter your flowers and plants in the juried flower show and an opportunity to win a ribbon or trophy. I received an honourable mention for my Delphinium entry last year and I proudly display the award in my office. Go to the Kelowna Garden Club website to enter a contest category.

Carole Fawcett CONTRIBUTOR
There are no guarantees when our children are born that they will grow up to be happy, productive people. It is a heart-wrenching experience to lose a child into the vortex of drugs and alcohol and helplessly watch as they spiral down to a dark place that is unimaginable to most parents. It could be likened to a death, as everyone’s dreams end. The dreams are replaced with an emotional roller coaster ride of repetitive shattered hope that is exhausting and draining. Hope, dangled on the thin thread of wanting to believe the addict will stop, feels like it is an unreachable concept. As the addict succumbs deeper into the disease, their personality changes, their thoughts becomes irrational and the individual, as they were loved and known by their family and friends, is completely unrecognizable. My only child is now 40 and is still actively using and drinking. He has been jailed, charged with assault, lost more jobs for peculiar reasons (it’s always “the boss’ fault”), raged and tried to lie and manipulate his way into or out of more situations than I can remember. So when I came across Tim and Sandy Varga’s book, Loving Him To A Fault: Lessons In Parenting An Addict, I knew I had to read it. Then once I read it, I knew I had to tell you about them. Parents (and siblings)
‘‘
MY LESSON IS THAT GOOD PARENTS CAN AND DO HAVE KIDS WHO GO OFF THE RAILS AND THE REASONS ARE SELDOM CLEAR.
of children who turn to drugs and/or alcohol often walk with feelings of guilt, shame and a convoluted type of “forgiving anger.” Their brains never shut off as they struggle to make sense of it all. How many times have you heard people say, “The Smiths have the nicest kids, they were really good parents.” I used to think this way until I had my own child. My lesson is that good parents can and do have kids who go off the rails and the reasons are seldom clear. Sandy Varga says she, “lives in fear of that next phone call,” explaining that she is, “uncertain if it will be good news or bad news.” That thin thread of hope can be tenuous at best. Tim and Sandy’s book will touch the emotional nerve of any parent, family member or friend of the family who has a shared experience with addiction and hopefully provide a deeper understanding for those who haven’t. Tim told me that he wrote the book to help others, but also to, “justify in my own mind that I had done everything I could, because I knew I could not live with myself
if something happened.” When you help someone, you are assisting and empowering them. When you enable, you are taking on the responsibility for someone else’s actions, quite often “rescuing” them and disempowering them at the same time. So when you observe yourself doing more work than they are, then you know you are enabling. As parents, it is easy to slip into the enabling role because we love our children. We are programmed to help our kids, so when a child becomes an addict, it feels normal to continue to “help” more than we should and the line between helping and enabling becomes blurred. Not surprisingly, when I spoke with Tim and Sandy, I found them to be caring, kind, normal people, just like the rest of us. Good people who have worked hard and only wanted the best for their kids. Sandy and Tim’s courage in sharing their journey is helping to bring this topic out of the closet and will help other parents know that they are not alone. If you would like to meet Tim and Sandy, join them at their book signing Sunday, July 13, at Chapters bookstore in Orchard Park Shopping Centre. You can also find them on Facebook, or Google them if you are unable to attend the book signing.

SOLUTIONS
PROS, CONS aNd USeS OF dRIP IRRIGaTION PROs Lower application rates allows for larger areas to be watered High efficiency water use 90% goes to plant Ease of installation
cOns Initial cost can be higher than regular irrigation Clogging – if the water is not properly filtered or equipment maintained it can result in clogged systems Longer run times required in soils with less water storage capacity
uses Drip Irrigation is used by farms, commercial greenhouses and residential gardeners. Drip irrigation is extremely useful in areas of water scarcity and for crops that prefer irrigation at the root zone such as tomatoes, corn, strawberries, grapes and containerized landscape trees. Drip irrigation is also extremely useful when dealing with flower pots and hanging baskets. If you think that drip irrigation may be ideal for your application do not hesitate to drop in to talk to our staff about your needs.

efore Parliament recessed last week, I had a meeting with Tammy Moore, the interim chief executive officer for ALS Canada. The organization supports research and advocacy on behalf of individuals and their families who suffer from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) a terminal disease characterized by progressive paralysis of muscles throughout the body. As home caregiving is an essential part of caring for ALS patients, 90 per cent of whom die within five years of diagnosis, it puts a tremendous emotional and financial burden on ALS families. I know and have met several constituents who take on the role of caregiver for family members, friends and others in the community who need help due to chronic or long-term illness, disabil-

Ron Cannan ity or aging. The commitment and compassion of the caregivers who work in various care facilities in our community is essential as well and we are grateful to have these dedicated people in our community offering support. The decision to keep those of frail health at home for as long as possible, however, is a choice that families make creating increased levels of stress and responsibility on caregivers who must also hold down a job. Our community is not unique. It is estimated that there were 6.1 million employed Canadians who provided care to a family member or friend in 2012, representing over a third of Canada’s entire workforce (35 per cent). Most caregivers de-
vote considerable time, energy and money to provide care, and many struggle to balance their responsibilities at home and at work. The economic and social costs associated with caregiving are significant. In 2012, over half a million (about 600,000) caregivers had to cut back their regular working hours and 390,000 had to leave their jobs entirely to care for a loved one. Another 160,000 had to turn down paid employment because of their caregiving responsibilities. Beyond the costs to caregivers in terms of lost wages or benefits, the negative employment consequences of caregiving affect employers through lost productivity and the cost of replacing employees. The Conference Board of Canada estimates that the cost to employers in lost production as a result of caregivers missing work, quitting or losing their jobs is $1.28 billion annually. It is with this in mind that Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors),

launched the Canadian Employers for Caregivers Plan (CECP) on June 23. More information can be found at esdc.gc.ca/ eng/seniors/cecp/index. shtml. The plan will explore cost-effective ways for employers to help employees with caregiving responsibilities continue to be productive in the workplace. A key component of the plan is the establishment of the Employer Panel for Caregivers that will consult with employers from across Canada to identify cost-effective workplace practices for informal caregivers helping them achieve a better balance of work and caring responsibilities. The panel is comprised of industry leaders from small, medium and large-sized businesses, as well as expert advisors on caregiving. The panel will report back to the minister on its initial findings later this year. In addition, our government has an Information for Caregivers section on the seniors.gc.ca website, which serves as a focal point for federal, provincial and some municipal information on financial information, care options, powers of attorney, and health matters, including mental health and dementia. Other supports through the federal government include the Family Caregiver Tax Credit, a 15 per cent non-refundable credit to help provide financial relief for caregivers; and additional tax measures and targeted programs for caregivers under federal jurisdiction (i.e. veterans). Under our Employment Insurance (EI) program two types of benefits are available to caregivers: Compassionate Care benefits provide up to six weeks of income replacement for people who have to be away from work temporarily to provide care or support to a family member who is gravely ill and has a significant risk of death; and Employment Insurance Special Benefits provide benefits for parents caring for their critically ill child. I look forward to the initial findings of the CECP panel so that we may find ways in which our government and employers can continue to support caregivers, truly some of the unsung heroes in our community.

Connecting the IQ dots
I
ntelligence and creativity are wonderful qualities to find in another person. But what is behind general intelligence and creativity? Observation has long suggested intelligence involves a combination of knowledge and experience. Many well-known creative thinkers talk about this interplay and the importance of experience to connect the dots between different pieces of knowledge. Several studies in brain activity seem to corroborate this theory. In a 2010 study from the California Institute of Technology, IQ and brain imaging data from more than 200 patients with brain injuries was examined to produce a map of brain regions involved in intelligence. Not surprisingly, researchers found general intelligence was not tied to one particular part of the brain, but was determined by a network of regions across both sides of the brain. This doesn’t mean intelligence is tied strictly to general whole brain functioning—rather, it bears out a theory called parieto-frontal integration theory, which says general intelligence depends on the brain’s ability to integrate several different kinds of processing such as working memory. So our brains need to have high functioning

SHEPHERD ~ DENIS A. With family at his side, Denis passed peacefully last week in White Rock. Denis was predeceased by his devoted wife Dorene and will be lovingly remembered by his family: Stan (brother), Chris (nephew), Mary Anne (niece), Avril (great niece) & husband Bruce, Aaron (great nephew) & family, Ryan (great nephew) all from Surrey, Maureen (niece) & husband from Vancouver, Elsie (sister-in-law), Tom (nephew), Carol (niece) & family from Regina. Denis joined the RCAF in October 1943 and married Dorene in August 1946. During his career, Denis worked on or received training on 36 different types of aircraft and 6 types of helicopters. His postings included; Brandon Manitoba, Medicine Hat Alberta, St. Thomas Ontario, Davidson Sask., Yorkton Sask., Winnipeg Manitoba, Churchill Manitoba, Norman Wells NWT., Rivers Manitoba, Bagotville Que., Zweibrucken Germany, Toronto Ont., Sea Island BC., Edmonton AB., Calgary AB. and Montreal Que. During his time in the Canadian Forces, Denis rose to the rank of Flight Sgt. In 1963 Denis received his commission to Officer Rank as a Pilot Officer and rose to the rank of Major. Denis’ final posting was as Commanding Officer of Number One Field Maintenance Squadron in Edmonton. When he retired Denis was considered the most knowledgeable helicopter maintenance officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. There are three letters of commendation on his files. During his last year in the service, Denis spent his evenings designing a 2900 square foot home in Kelowna. Denis had a professional builder complete the upper floor and Denis and Dorene moved into it when Denis retired from the Canadian Air Force in 1975. Together Denis and Dorene enjoyed spectacular views from Black Mountain to Peachland and loved to call Kelowna their home. Denis’ quick wit, leadership and character will be sadly missed by all those who knew him.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection June 2014
A Valediction By: Cameron Waller The high school valedictorian is a title often associated with clichés ranging from the classic brainac to the stereotypical popular jock. It wasn’t until recently that this title was unexpectedly associated with me. When the graduating class of Mount Boucherie Secondary selected me to be the 2014 valedictorian, I was shocked and elated to say the least. While the announcement came with much excitement and honor (and plenty of proud Facebook posts from my mom), there was also a seemingly tangible amount of pressure to follow as well. In a graduating class filled with hundreds of passionate change-makers, innovative artists, distinguished athletes, accomplished academics, and tireless handworkers, I was chosen to represent them all. Even more intimidating was the task of having to write a power-
ance counselor and personal mentor, Jennifer Mackereth, for help, she gave me the excellent advice to simply be myself. She told me that an audience can smell ‘bullcrap’ from a mile away and that I needed to accept my own true, raw feelings of graduation. The only way this address could be a memorable success was if I didn’t muddle it behind a cloud of cliché and broad statements with the occasional cringeworthy joke. Rather, I needed to accept that, while I am the valedictorian, I was not immune or above the fear of graduation. As I got farther into the construction of my speech, the topic of fear became an overwhelmingly predominate theme. The fear within the pressures and uncertainties of the real world make the events of convocation so intimidating, and my speech needed to reflect those sentiments. While fear became an integral component, courage also emerged as an important juxtaposition within the address. While the fear of graduation is a very real thing for grade twelves, we must be willing to understand that we have the courage to not let it control our lives and, most importantly, dictate our futures. By the middle of May, my speech had been printed, proofread, and rehearsed. However, the
Valedictorian Cameron Waller gazes into his future at the University of Ottawa on a $16,000 scholarship to become a Humanitarian Aid Worker. Cam, change the world the only way you can: just be you. Congratulations on your graduation! ful, unique speech that would not only be memorable and all encompassing, but also be capable of inspiring hundreds of kids to, as my grandma would say, “go get em’ tiger!” This latter task proved to be a tremendously difficult undertaking. How could I, a mere seventeen-year-old kid, deliver a strong motivational message to help guide others into the real world when I myself needed just as much guidance? My first step in creating the speech came in the form of acceptance. As I sat dumbfounded in front of a table of blank brainstorming pages, I realized that this speech truly needed to come from my heart. When I asked my school’s guid-
speech was missing one very vital element: the ending. I had searched for weeks in order to find a suitable conclusion but to no avail. It was not until I stopped looking that I found my resolution from one of the most unlikely sources. On Mother’s Day, my grandmother showed me my late grandfather’s valedictorian speech, which he had delivered nearly fifty-two years prior. Coincidentally, his speech also focused on the importance of courage. I chose to use, word for word, the final line from his speech for not only its sentimental value, but for its far-reaching and relatable nature. As he fittingly put, “If we are willing to put our hand to courage, we need not fear the darkness of the unknown way.”

I have always liked writing. Short stories, poems, essays, anything and everything, English is my favourite subject and what I hope to pursue in my future. When I entered MBSS, the Journalism Club was the first of many clubs I joined. Naturally, my love for writing and determined attitude had me writing up a storm each month to meet the article deadlines. This was my first taste of journalism and one sample had me hooked. Three years later, I am retiring as editor with an impressive portfolio under my arm and an extensive contact list of community connections. Gracious doesn’t begin to cover it. Thank you to Mrs. Maier, the teacher representative for the Journalism Club, who not only gave me the reins to the club in my final year, but trusted me enough to let my ideas of Historian Allison Brown monthly features and page diversity run wild.

Net three years for beating ill woman Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The ugliness that resides in Kelowna’s underworld was spotlighted during a Wednesday morning sentencing in B.C. Supreme Court. In a case that Justice Al Betton deemed “yet another example of the horrors of drug use,” James Miklik was sentenced to two years in prison, on top of 374 days he’d already spent behind bars. Miklik, 37, pleaded guilty to an aggravated assault charge from 2013, and the sentence he was handed positively reflected that admission. Especially because his victim, a 52-year-old woman, had no recollection of the incident.

at Memorial Park in Westbank.
BANNISTER KELOWNA 250-860-7700
West Kelowna’s biggest community celebration kicks off this weekend—and this year the fun lasts for five days. The annual festivities take place from Friday, June 27 to Tuesday, July 1 at Memorial Park in West Kelowna. “We needed to bridge over from Sunday to Tuesday, so we’re doing an extra concert (on Monday) this year,” said Leah Thordarson, administrator of the Westside Celebration Society. “Next year will probably be the same thing, because… Canada Day falls on the Wednesday. So we’ll probably start with Canada Day and then go the other way.” Once again Westside Daze will offer free evening concerts, a parade, fireworks, Kids Fair, Okanagan Day, a car and motorcycle show and shine and Canada Day events. Jack Hetherington and Christine Harper—better known as Captain and Mrs. Canada—have been named the 2014 Westside Daze parade marshals. The patriotic couple gained popularity during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, where they took countless photos with members of the public, and were interviewed by press from around the world. See Friday’s Capital News for a copy of the Westside Daze special section, which includes stories, photos and a full schedule of events.
She had moved into Miklik’s basement with her boyfriend a week before the June 2013 altercation that left her without memory of the confrontation, her spleen or sight in her left eye. Those injuries were on top of a brain injury and multiple face and rib fractures. According to Crown counsel Murray Kaay, the woman was supposed to procure some heroin for Miklik. He felt she had “shorted” him in the area of $50 to $60, and confronted her about the matter. Although no witnesses were in the room when the confrontation turned violent, the woman’s boyfriend saw the aftermath. Kaay told the court the boyfriend had walked into their bedroom and found
her bloodied, on the floor, while Miklik stood above her. Miklik fled the house at that point, and as police canvassed the area they interviewed neighbours he’d spoken with as they went. “He (told them) he hit a female crackhead who had stolen from him,” Kaay told the court. “‘A thief is a thief,’” Kaay said Miklik had told a neighbour, “‘it doesn’t matter if you’re a guy or a girl, everyone gets treated the same.’” Miklik was arrested that same night and treated later that night for what’s considered a boxing injury. He’s contended all along that he punched the woman four times, and was shocked by the nature of
her injuries. The damage wrought could be in part to the frail condition the woman was in when the beating was rendered. She suffered from hepeitits C, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and was an IV drug addict. Defence lawyer Michael Kennedy said while the victim was in no way responsible for the beating she suffered, her presence in Miklik’s life was evidence of a larger problem facing his client. Miklik’s drug abuse, which Kennedy said was related to a painful condition called pancreatitis, had all but destroyed his life. His victim and her boy-
friend moving into the basement was evidence of that. They were homeless drug addicts, Miklik had moved in to help offset the mounting debts he was facing. It was an ill conceived plan, noted the lawyer upon questioning from Justice Betton. It’s ultimately cost him his home, his family and years of his life. The sentence handed to Miklik will put him in federal prison. It’s a result he’d requested, instead of the provincial system. In the federal system he’ll be able to access the programming that will aid him in a battle for longterm sobriety. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Council sees need for skatepark Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Competitive freestyle skier Mason Barzilay wants West Kelowna youth to be active, and predicts a new skatepark may be one solution. Barzilay spoke to West Kelowna council Tuesday to explain why West Kelowna needs a skatepark. “One thing many kids like doing in West Kelowna is skateboarding,” said Barzilay. “A skatepark could provide kids with
a free, safe environment and a place they can enjoy the benefits of physical activity.” A three-year member of the BC Mogul Team, Barzilay considers herself lucky to have played many sports growing up. However, she said there is currently a lack of facilities for youth who want to be active. “Parents often can’t afford to put their children in organized sports. A skatepark in West Kelowna would be a great invest-
ment for our community.” She said there are also safety concerns as West Kelowna skaters may practise their sport in parking lots or roadways. There is a demand for a skatepark. A Facebook group called West Kelowna Needs a Skatepark currently has 165 members. The district’s 10 year capital plan schedules design and construction of a skatepark for 2021. Preliminary estimates indicate the cost would be about $400,000.

Barzilay asked the district to set up a trust fund to speed up that process. “This year I have committed to donate a percentage of my (ski career fundraising) proceeds to…a new skatepark in West Kelowna.” Coun. Rick de Jong agreed: “Our skatepark… is in a sorry state of repair.” Mayor Doug Findlater said he sees “a very busy skateboard park” every time he drives through Peachland. “Obviously there’s a demand for it.” Council unanimously voted to set up a trust account for the purchase and installation of a skateboard park at Memorial Park. “If we see the (trust fund) growing, I think that’s a signal that there’s demand and we should be looking at…moving this up a few years,” Findlater said.

stride, easily defeating the pair of Zuzana Fulkova and Lisa Pham 21-12, 2117 to win gold in the AA division. The intent was to compete at a higher level than either girl had ever competed in order to challenge the team to its fullest, and this was indeed achieved. Another Kelowna team, Liam Birker and Tanner March had a successful weekend in Penticton. Birker and March swept their pool in the AA division to advance to the AAA category for playoffs. In a difficult crossover match, the Kelowna pair faced highly-ranked duo of Ed Hulshol and Joel Caschetto. Battling hard, the Kelowna duo lost a well-fought battle 18-21 and 19-21 to the eventual bronze medalists. On the consolation side, Birker and March kept up their athletic team play to post a 21-10, 2117 win over Mert Tiryakigi and Brendan Wolfe. In the consolation final, they defeated Pat Smith and Jeordie Ker 21-12, 19-21 and 15-7. Ranked 20th heading into the event, Birker and March placed ninth overall.
