Top highway speed increases Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Speed limits on highways feeding in and out of the Okanagan have been given a boost.

The provincial government announced Wednesday it is raising speed limits across the province, with some changes taking place immediately and others waiting until further research is completed.

Of note to local drivers is a new 120 km/h limit for the Okanagan Connector, on the stretch running from Aspen Grove to the Drought Hill Interchange near Peachland.

Signs in that area were changed yesterday morning.

Also seeing a boost in the speed limit is 32 km of road on Highway 33 south of Gallagher Road to McCulloch Road. The new speed limit is 100 km/h up from the current speed limit of 90 km/h.

Those who commute to and from Vernon may soon be able to let their speedometers register an extra 10 km/h on a 16-kilometre stretch of Highway 97, running from Gatzke Road, north of Oyama to College Way, south of Vernon.

That hike is pending completion of an engineering assessment to determine if median barriers are required before imple-

mentation.

In all, 35 sections of rural provincial highway, totalling 1,300 kilometres, are getting higher speed limits.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit.

A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions. Digital signs that can display different limits will be tested on sections of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla and Sea-to-Sky highways.

In northern B.C., 52 per cent of people taking part in public consultation did not support speed limit increases, and that region will not see changes. All other regions had support, the highest in the Lower Mainland at 81 per cent.

The RCMP opposed increasing speed limits on rural highways. ICBC representatives also expressed safety concerns, and will monitor areas with higher limits to see if the severity of crashes increases.

Ministry statistics show the number of serious crashes on provincial highways has decreased 28 per cent since 2003, thanks to improved technology and education.

Every event will feature a talented kid, an opening performance and a headline act. There will also be a variety of genres featured throughout the summer.

Antony Knight is the first talented kid to perform this Friday at 6:45

p.m.

The headline act—a tribute to Sinatra and the big bands featuring Dreamland Band and guests—will take the stage at 7 p.m.

An average of 650 people attended each of the concerts last summer, according to Ryan Donn, creative director for Cre-

ative Okanagan.

“Cod Gone Wild (brought out) 1,100 people—that was our biggest (concert) last year,” said Donn.

“They draw big crowds, so we pretty much book them every year…every other act is pretty much new.”

Food and drink vend-

▼ EMERGENCY CALLS

New voice for 911 As of this fall, there will be a new voice answering the phone when you call 911.

Starting November 18, 911 calls made from the Regional Districts of Central Okanagan, North Okanagan, Okanagan-Similkameen, Thompson-Nicola, Columbia-Shuswap, Squamish-Lillooet (North), Central Kootenay, East Kootenay and Kootenay-Boundary will be answered through E-Comm, the emergency communication centre located in the Lower Mainland.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan provides initial 911 call response services to the nine regional districts throughout the B.C. Interior.

The RDCO currently has a memorandum of understanding with the RCMP for initial public safety answering point service, which is provided out of the Southeast District Operational Communications Centre in Kelowna.

That is where all 911 calls placed within the nine regional districts are answered by operators who determine the nature of the emergency call and quickly transfer the caller to the appropriate first responder agency such as police, fire or B.C. Ambulance.

“For almost two years, we have been exploring various options for 911 call answer services on

behalf of all nine interior regional districts,” said Regional District of Central Okanagan chairman Robert Hobson, “In 2012 we were advised by the RCMP that we would be facing significant increases for provision of 911 services. After an extensive review and negotiations, we’ve recently signed a five year contract with E-Comm in Vancouver. The transition from the RCMP Operational Command Centre (in Kelowna) to E-Comm will take place November 18th.”

Hobson added that by contracting the 911 service to E-Comm, over the life of the five-year agreement, the regional districts will see a 25 per cent reduction in overall program operating costs.

That translates into total savings of more than $2.1 million for the program, proportionately shared by the regional district partners, said Hobson.

“Public safety remains our top priority” he said.

“E-Comm’s outstanding track record of high quality and reliable 911 answering services, means all residents in the affected regional districts can be assured there will be professionally handled, quick response to their initial emergency calls.”

In addition, by having E-Comm provide initial emergency call handling service, the regional districts believe they’ll be

in a better position to take advantage of the next generation of 911 technology.

Until the change this fall to E-Comm, 911 PSAP calls will continue to be answered by staff in the Southeast District Operational Communications Centre.

Within the service area of the nine regional districts during 2013, a total of 226,796 calls were received by 911 and answered by the OCC based in Kelowna.

“We are pleased to partner with the Regional District of Central Okanagan and are committed to ensuring residents of all nine regional districts continue to receive high-quality, responsive 911 public safety answer point service 24-hours a day,” said E-Comm president and CEO David Guscott.

“E-Comm is focused on helping to create safer communities in B.C. through excellence in public-safety communication, and we believe that an integrated approach is a key element in achieving that vision.”

E-Comm’s integrated multi-jurisdictional call taking and dispatch centre provides economies of scale by providing 911 service for Metro Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast Regional District, Whistler, Squamish, the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (South).

It recently added norther VancouverIsland.

Fundraiser goes barefoot on boardwalk Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Soles4Souls Canada is asking Kelowna residents to ditch their shoes in a fundraiser that will help bring footwear to others in need.

The inaugural Barefoot on the Boardwalk takes place Saturday, July 19 at 1 p.m. at the Jubilee Bowl in City Park.

Those taking part will walk two kilometres along the City Park boardwalk to the bear statue in Stuart Park, and then back to the Jubilee Bowl.

Participants are asked

to get out their paintbrushes and decorate their feet for the event.

“We’re encouraging people to come down with painted feet,” said Jim Belshaw, chair of Soles4Souls Canada.

“The wilder, the crazier, the more colourful, the better.”

Prizes will give given out for the most creatively decorated feet and for those who raise the most money through pledges.

“Basically, for every dollar that we raise, we can put a pair of shoes on somebody,” said Belshaw.

“So what we’re ask-

ing people to do is get 10 pledges of $10 and that will equal 100 pairs of shoes.”

Registration for the event is $20 per person or $100 for teams of six.

Those interested can register online at soles4soulscanada.com or in person at Roy’s Shoes, 1627 Ellis St., House of Caribbean Food, 557 Bernard Ave. or Prospera Credit Union, 2106 Harvey Ave. or 3151 Lakeshore Rd. According to Belshaw, several individuals who will be travelling to Haiti with Soles4Souls Can-

ada next year will be volunteering to paint participants’ feet at the event in exchange for donations.

“The donations will go toward their travel expenses.”

That group, dubbed Travel4Souls, will also be doing a car wash fundraiser Saturday, July 12, outside Nufloors Kelowna, 2121 Springfield Rd. “You can drive in, and while you’re getting your car washed, you can register for the walk as well,” said Belshaw.

Region gets two new marine rescue boats to patrol area lakes Just in time for the busy summer boating season, the regional rescue program has received two new vessels.

Once training is complete over the next few weeks, the new marine rescue boats will be operated by crews with the Lake Country Fire De-

partment and Peachland Fire and Rescue Service and will replace vessels that have been operating for many years.

The new boats were supplied to the regional rescue program by Kanter Marine Incorporated in St. Thomas, Ontario, which was the successful bid-

der through a public tender process at a combined cost of $305,100.

Rather than replace one boat this year and another next, administrative efficiencies were used by buying the boats for both Peachland and Lake Country this year.

Each vessel has a rigid

aluminum hull with inflatable collars.

A new seating system and configuration incorporates shock absorbers to provide a high level of comfort and safety for boat operators. That will help reduce the potential for injuries and provide a safe environment for

crew members who are often on the water during extreme conditions answering distress calls, say regional officials.

The Central Okanagan Regional Rescue Program has provided marine rescues since the 1980s and with vessels stationed in Kelowna, Lake Country

and Peachland, provides a rapid, trained response to marine emergencies on major Central Okanagan lakes.

While local governments fund the program, the provincial government, through Emergency Management BC, reimburses costs when boats

are called to respond to an emergency.

The regional rescue program also works with the local RCMP and Central Okanagan Search and Rescue to provide appropriate responses to the boating community here in the Central Okanagan area.

Bill Campbell year as a full-time farmer, Campbell reproduced his own successful career trait, conducting 20 experiments in his Glenmore plot, including a row of a new varietal he calls Darwin.

The breakthrough that brought back a taste of the past was found in a scape—or lack there of, he explained.

Garlic scapes are the long stems that deliver the flowering seed up and out of a hardneck garlic plant to help asexually propagate more garlic. There are two forms of modern garlic: hardneck, which produce a scape, and softneck, which do not.

Along the way, a quirk developed in the Italian softneck varietal by which some the plants, which do not throw out a scape, nonethless develop a seed bulb mid-neck, with a strange-looking seed.

About five per cent of the Italian softnecks have the mutation, so Campbell planted a batch of the varietal to harvest the mutant seed pods, believed to be a throwback trait, or an atavism, of the original garlic DNA. He then planted a batch of the mutant seeds, getting a mixed bag of softnecks and hardnecks and some somewhere inbetween.

Knowing the original garlic was hardneck, he discarded the softnecks to produce crops akin to the original form of garlic.

Campbell is now in taste testing mode.

“I have to produce 5000 plants in order to sell it, but first I want to get feedback from people,”

Police seek parking lot lady Police are looking for a woman who was nearly hit by a vehicle fleeing from police two weeks ago.

The Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Teams and uniformed members attempted to conduct a traffic stop June 18 at 10 a.m. in the parking lot of Home Hardware located at 1650 Springfield Road.

“A 32-year-old Kelowna man, at large on outstanding warrants and believed to be actively evading capture, had been tracked by police to the parking lot,” said Const. Kris Clark. “Investigators used their vehicles to box in the silver Saturn SL1 he was driving but he hit a police car and fled the area at a high rate of speed. In doing so, the suspect vehicle nearly struck an elderly woman who was walking in the parking lot at the time.”

Police were later unable to locate the woman but are still looking to speak with her.

The woman, or anyone who might know her identity, is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP Const. Celli, at 250-7623300.

The $3.16-million project was funded through the federal gas tax fund, BC Hydro’s beautification program, ICBC’s road improvement program and the District of West Kelowna.

Top chef joins college Well-known local chef, Bernard Casavant, has joined Okanagan College as the institution’s culinary manager.

While he is nationally known for his cooking, Casavant’s reputation has spread beyond the kitchen as he has also been a major force for improvement in the hospitality industry during his career, and in promoting the farmto-table movement in the

Okanagan and throughout B.C. “The addition of chef Bernard to help lead our team of talented professionals signals the importance of the culinary arts to our educational mix,” said Jonathan Rouse, director of wine, food and tourism at OC. “He brings tremendous expertise, energy and enthusiasm to the role that will help inspire many more chefs who will serve

the industry well.”

Casavant has been at the forefront of improving the standards of the hospitality industry throughout his career. In 1986, he was one of the first chefs in Canada to earn Chef de Cuisine Certification (CCC). In 1991, he became the first West Coastborn and trained chef to represent Canada in the prestigious Bocuse D’Or Competition, in France.

he said, noting it will be better to market if its got a clear description to its name. Beta testing, as it were, will be done in Top Chef Canada contestant Kaila Klassen’s new restaurant, Krafty Kitchen, in downtown Kelowna.

He’s also turning to the wine connoisseurs of the valley for a description of its flavourful and potent cloves.

This morning, as Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick and MP Ron Cannan stop in to officially open his business, before heading to Sun-Rype for a peak at the latest investment in the beverage machinery, he’ll be telling the story of his historic

success to the world.

Campbell specializes in growing high-grade garlic—40 per cent refracted solids, or the sugars, to the average clove’s 32—and says Darwin boasts both heat and flavour.

Garlic is the farmer’s unique retirement plan as it takes six months of work and gives him six months off to play with very few pests. Just the onion root maggot and the bulb mites cause problems and he has had not had trouble with either.

“If it’s bad weather, we just harvest a week later,” he said.

Okanagan Gourment Garlic Farm is on Longhill Road, half a kilometre past The Greenery.

▼ COMMUNITY LEADER AWARDS

SAS EvEnt!

Awards to recognize local unsung heroes There are many people in the Central Okanagan who contribute in their own small ways to enhance their community.

For many, that means helping out community or volunteer organizations, often performing tasks that largely go unnoticed beyond those who directly benefit.

But because all those contributions, big or small, are valid and noteworthy, and can make a difference in the life of an individual or family, the

Capital News has initiated a new recognition program called the Community Leader Awards.

This newspaper, with the support of a local advisory committee representing various community groups, is calling on local residents to submit nominations for the awards, which fall under 10 different categories.

The categories include coach, mentor, courage, above and beyond, emergency service, service organization volunteer, vol-

The category qualification details can be seen on page A18.

To nominate someone for an award, write 250 or so words about them, that includes information such as the length of time a nominee has spent in the community, specific examples of the work and/ or contribution he/she has made, community associations and memberships.

Laurel D’Andrea, executive director of the Uptown Rutland Business Association, is a member of the community partners committee involved in the project.

“When (Capital News publisher) Karen Hill and Bruce McAuliffe (president, B.C. South, Black Press) came to me with the idea, I thought it was terrific,” D’Andrea said.

“The idea of it being directed to the grassroot volunteer level, to people

who help out day after day and get very little recognition I thought was very worthwhile.”

The nomination deadline for the Community Leader Awards is Aug. 8.

A BUDDING FAITH “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6) These words seem so simple and clear. Yet, they are mysterious and profound.

Many have read these words and have had to admit: “I don’t have that faith!” I try to believe. I do! But, I can’t wrap my head around God. I can’t figure God out.” I feel like can’t believe.”

In response to this dilemma, I offer this parable. One day a senior pastor presented a junior pastor with a stem from a rosebush.

At the end of the stem were two big green rosebuds. The senior pastor gave the following instructions to the pastor in training: “My challenge to you is this: to form the rose bloom that is hidden within one of these buds without damaging the petals.” The junior pastor took the stem and began to pry one of the rosebuds open with his fingers.

The bud and the flower within were instantly and irreparably destroyed. The pastor took the stem back and placed it a glass of water and put it on the windowsill. He then instructed his junior to return the next day at the same time.

The next day the junior pastor returned as instructed. He immediately went to the window and stared at twig sitting in the glass of water. The second bud had opened. The beautiful bright red rose hidden in the second bud was formed with every petal intact.

The senior pastor admonished his junior with these words. “God created the rosebush, the bud and the flower. He provided the means by which the flower would emerge from the bud. Faith in God is the same. God is the author and the creator of our faith in Him.” He continued: “As human beings we try to play God. We believe that we can be the author and the creator of our faith in God. We believe that we can make faith bloom and grow in our lives. When we try to create and author our faith, we will fail. He went on: “Yet, when we commit the bud to God and follow God’s Word, a miracle can happen.

God made the following promise through the Prophet Isaiah: “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11). I committed the branch and the bud to the water.

The water made the bud open and the flower emerge. God’s word is like the water, it can make faith bud and bloom in us when, like

the plant, we drink it in.”

The senior pastor was so right. The whole purpose of God’s word is to create faith. The Apostle John wrote: “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:30-31) God’s word is living and active. The Holy Spirit works through God’s word and causes faith to bud, bloom and grow.

Water is a wonderful image for God’s word.

Still water is like a mirror. You can see yourself in it. The Apostle Paul taught us that God’s word is like a mirror, it allows us to see our reflection, who we really are. Scriptures teach us that human beings were created as male and female. God put a love and desire in the man for the woman and a love and a desire in the woman for the man. God told them to be fruitful and multiply. Human beings were created in innocence. There was no evil or guile in them. God and humanity lived in perfect harmony.

Scriptures disclose that evil existed in the world. Evil is personified in the person of Satan, the Devil. The Devil beguiled our first parents. He caused them to doubt God’s word. God’s word said don’t eat this fruit or you will die. Satan caused them to covet divinity. They wanted to share in God’s divinity. We wanted to be like God; knowing good from evil. The fruit would give them that power. They did not want to ask God for this gift, Satan convinced them to reach out and take it by eating the forbidden fruit.

They ate the fruit, they shared in divinity, in newfound knowledge, but, at the same time they acquired mortality, their lives would end. We die.

From that point forward the Old Testament Scriptures point to the coming of the Son of God who would liberate us from the power of sin, death and the Devil. God gave us a law in the Old Testament, a perfect law that disclosed the heart and mind of God and his desire for humanity. God’s law is also a mirror, it shows us who we are. It lays before us our failures in our relationship with God and others. It also shows us that try as we might, we cannot live up to God’s law. We cannot justify ourselves before God by obeying God’s Law. God’s Law thus drives us to despair. We realize that we can’t save ourselves.

By His teaching, preaching, perfect life, His miracles and his resurrection from the dead Jesus declared and testified to His divinity, that He was, is and always will be God’s Son.

By His innocent suffering and death on the cross He testified to His humanity and to His passionate desire to suffer and die for

our sins. Jesus promised that He was the resurrection and the life and that all who believed in Him would have eternal life. (John 11:25-26) By His resurrection from the dead He opened the way to eternal life to all who believe in Him. When the Gospel is proclaimed in its truth and purity, that we are sinners that cannot save ourselves and that Christ’s crucifixion and death paid for that sin and set us free from sin death and the Devil, the Holy Spirit causes faith in God to bud within us.

A faith that God causes to bud and bloom within us, finds concrete expression in works of sacrificial love. Christians reach out and satisfy the needs of others. They offer water, food, clothing, shelter and aide to the needy and stranger. (Matthew 25:34-40). Christians can forgive those who persecute them and even kill them as St. Stephen did as they stoned him for believing in Jesus. As he died he asked God: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” (Acts 7:59-60).

I have to admit that more often than not, I am like the junior pastor, I believe that I am the author and creator of my faith in God and can do the same for others. Yet, all God asks me to do is be immersed in His Word, to be convicted of my sinfulness, that I am trapped in my own sin, and let Jesus and Him crucified do the rest. I pray you will dive into His Word with me and be transformed. We meet Sundays at 9:00 and 10:30 AM. See you poolside!

▼ OUR VIEW

B.C.’s need for speed recognized

T

he government’s decision to raise the maximum speed limits on a number of B.C. roads, including some right here in the Central Okanagan, got a lot of media play yesterday.

Given that the top speed limit on the roads that allow the fastest moving vehicles—the Coquihalla Highway and the Okanagan Connector—only went up by 10 kilometres per hour, and, in reality, simply recognize the speed most drivers

currently drive at, it’s puzzling why so much attention.

Statistics released by the government show serious road accidents due to speed are down on the stretches where speed limits are going up, thanks, in part, to better technology, education and law enforcement.

Victoria’s move to make our fast-paced world a little faster simply recognizes that on roads like the Coquihalla, drivers are already routinely surpassing the posted limit by five to 10 kilo-

metres per hour anyway.

What is more interesting are the increases on some of the other highways in the province.

Locally, a 32-kilometre stretch of Highway 33, from Gallagher Road to McCulloch Road, is getting a speed bump of 10 kilometres per hour, pushing the limit there to 100 kilometres per hour.

While it has had improvements made to it, Highway 33 is not always the best road to push the pedal to the metal.

Even Victoria’s jury is out on that one as it is delaying the increase pending engineering reports to tell if such an increase is safe.

Of course, that’s the kind of information one would expect the government to have on hand prior to its speed-related announcement.

But, nonetheless, pushing the speed limit up by a few kilometres an hour on roads easily engineered to allow even faster speeds is really no big deal.

Who to blame for innocent child’s injury causing mishap

I’

m camping with my family in a lovely campground in Deception Pass, Washington.

The peace and tranquillity is broken only by the periodic fly by of naval jets. It’s quite comical, actually.

This camping trip’s “most memorable event” so far is Morgan, my 10-year-old daughter, slicing into her finger with the insanely sharp pocket knife she got for Christmas this year. What a jerk, the plump, jolly fellow who chose that gift for my little girl!

It was a good slice. She came into

our little travel trailer, crying. Twenty-six year old step-sister, Nikki, comforted her while averting her eyes from the gash.

My immediate Paul thought was of taking Hergott her for stitches. It has been too many years since my last first aid training. I puzzled through the options and settled on keeping the cut clean and the finger straight, because stitches didn’t seem necessary to hold the flesh together.

I wrapped that finger with a bulbous mass of dressing, using materials we had brought with us to change

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

the dressing for Bob, the three-monthold boil on my right butt cheek. Yes, we named him. Too much information?

After the medical emergency was taken care of, little Morgan’s legal rights took centre stage. Morgan was injured; I am a personal injury lawyer.

The ghastly injury must not go uncompensated.

Some of you might be wanting to “blame the victim.” The 10 year old ought to have taken more care with that viciously sharp knife? Come on. If anyone is to blame, it’s not the little princess who wears pink every chance she gets and was trying to make a pretty wood carving for her daddy.

B …

Some of you might be wanting to “blame the other victim.” The parents who failed to properly train Morgan in the use of the knife, and then failed to properly supervise her. Yes, I agree.

To some degree, her mother is definitely at fault.

Who is most at fault, though? Of course, it’s the plump, jolly moron who put a dangerously sharp knife into the hands of a 10-year-old ‘little princess.’ A recipe for disaster.

If I was referring to Santa Claus, it would be high time that he get his due. How often does he, effectively, get away with murder? All those drum sets, annoying talking dolls, stupid board games, gym passes, vacuum cleaners, the list goes on.

a n l

h t s a a

No, it wasn’t Santa this time. The plump, jolly culprit was me.

Is there a lawsuit brewing? The gash is healing nicely and will be forgotten within another day or two. Had she been left with a permanent injury, she would have until her 21st birthday to decide whether or not to bring a lawsuit.

In most circumstances, a child has up to two years after her 19th birthday to commence a lawsuit pertaining to injuries suffered while she was a child. For some claims, such as child sexual abuse, the deadline is extended indefinitely.

BIKES FOR SALE First Nation equity the logical way forward QUALITY

▼ TSILHQOT’IN DECISION

Adult & Childrens

To the editor: The landmark Tsilhqot’in Supreme Court decision provides a unique opportunity for governments and industry to partner with First Nation communities to advance major resource projects.

There has been a great deal of speculation about how many of these projects are going to grind to a halt as a result of the decision.

I would argue that the exact opposite is true.

More than ever, we need First Nations participation in resource development but we need to do that with First Nations as real partners with equity in these projects. In the end, First Nations equity may be the difference between success and failure.

Until recently, First Nations communities have been frozen in time economically. Many have

built up their own economies in an effort to become self-sufficient but they face a number of common hurdles. First Nation communities lack infrastructure, lack financial knowledge and an inability to attract long-term financing. Without access to capital markets, First Nations have difficulty developing the necessary infrastructure to increase their own-source revenue and provide economic opportunities for their people.

In 2006, the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (the Act) received unanimous consent in the House of Commons. The Act helps minimize these barriers through taxation, certification and a financial instrument to allow First Nations to go to the bond market.

The Act provides legislative framework that

‘‘

…THE TSILHQOT’IN DECISION GIVES US CERTAINTY. WE KNOW WHAT THE RULES ARE AND THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN PLACE PROVIDE THE CAPACITY TO DEAL WITH MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. Harold Calla

created three national aboriginal institutions. The First Nations led institutions are: The First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC), the First Nations Financial Management Board (FMB), and the

First Nations Authority (FNFA). Each of these institutions are instrumental in assisting First Nation governments to address the socioeconomic well being along with capacity building within their communities.

These institutions have assisted First Nations in implementing stronger financial management systems within their communities.

These communities are improving their quality of life by building much-needed infrastructure and providing necessary and essential services.

They now look at managing their wealth, as opposed to fighting poverty. Last month the collaborative work of the institutions led to a first time debenture of $90 million at AAA rating.

This truly was a historic

moment for First Nations communities.

Under this Act, there is the ability to administer an equity position in a First Nations joint project.

Adding to this, the Tsilhqot’in decision gives us certainty. We know what the rules are and the financial institutions in place provide the capacity to deal with major infrastructure projects.

We have seen First Nations engaged in capacity building and resource development projects, but the status quo hasn’t worked. It is time to look at a new approach that fits within the parameters of the Supreme Court’s decision.

Harold Calla, executive chair, First Nations Financial Management Board

arbitrarily ruled all B.C. Crown lands and resources belong to the Indians.

It has put a big dark cloud of uncertainty over the province of B.C., as well as the rest of Canada in terms of citizenship, economic development, and rights to title and resources for all Canadians, Indians included.

The failure of the B.C.

government to consult is one issue, however, entitlement is quite another.

The court failed to make that distinction, and rendered a ruling that is unbelievably one-sided.

The ruling is also devastating for millions of multi-generation Canadians who were born and raised on Canadian soil, not to mention millions

of immigrants who came to Canada and were told: ‘we are all united as citizens and equal under the law’.

In other countries, when you become a citizen, you become a full partner with the same rights and responsibilities as all the other citizens.

That will never be the case in Canada for as long

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

To the editor: Seems to me I’ve read, how businesses downtown need more visits to stay healthy and profitable, and that parking is always an issue.

Imagine my surprise two weeks ago when I parked near the yacht club for two hours, to find that the fee has increased from one hour for 50 cents ($1 for two), to $1.25 per hour

($2.50 for two).

According to my math skills, that’s been increased by a factor of two and a half times—250 per cent. That seems a bit more than inflation has

▼ INJURY LAW

Catharsis in blaming parent Hergott from A8 insurance, such as in a car crash, it would be crazy not to pursue an injury claim. Not to do so is simply a hefty financial gift to the insurance company that collected liability insurance premiums to cover a risk they don’t have to pay out on.

Absent liability insurance, it’s a serious mat-

ter of a parent paying to compensate a child for injuries (physical or otherwise) that would not have occurred had mom or dad done the important job of being a good parent.

If the relationship has remained positive, a lawsuit is unlikely. When everyone is playing on the same team, there’s nothing to be gained from passing money from one

member of the team to another.

For a child who realizes on achieving adulthood that her childhood was an abusive one, however, a lawsuit can turn a lifetime of power imbalance on its ear and achieve a cathartic justice beyond compare.

How will this help our local businesses?

If the fee needed to be increased, how about a smaller increase? Another quarter, to 75 cents

an hour (which is a 50 per cent increase) would be less of a shock, and more acceptable.

NEWS

First Nations entrepreneurship helps build communities D uring the Mulroney government years, I was part of the process when, through Tom Hockin, the federal small business minister of the day, Canada created its first national entrepreneurship policy and strategy.

At the time, part of the excitement was that it was one of the first policies of its type ever created in the developed world.

I was fortunate to be a member of the national evaluation framework team for that policy and as such, enjoyed vast experiences that I will never forget and, I suppose, forged part of my love for entrepreneurship and the joy it can bring to peoples’ lives.

This policy had a range of target groups, with whom it was intended to focus and one of these categories was First Nations in Canada.

So what is it that makes a First Nations enterprise successful?

One of the heaviest burdens aboriginal people in Canada have to bear is dependency.

While there have been various differences in the interactions between native peoples and European newcomers over our generations, the expropriation of Indigenous lands, the social welfare policies and other aspects of historical interaction have produced some common results. Indigenous dependency is one of them.

Being stripped of the resources on which they had drawn for so many years, but also their freedom, many First Nations communities found themselves descending into welfare dependency.

The harsh reality of this is that such dependency has high costs. It undermines political autonomy, leaving nations hostage to policy decisions made by other governments serving interests that may depart from First Nations concerns.

On reserves where productive economic activity has experienced its own roller coaster ride of successes and failure, it produces economies that are heavily dependent on employment in First Nations government—that is employment that is funded by non-Indigenous governments.

Escaping the dependency challenge, it has been suggested, offers alternative ways of meet-

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young ing two critical economic goals.

Providing economic opportunity for First Nations citizens (jobs, business prospects, resources and subsistence) and funding for First Nations government (law-making, decision-making , judicial and enforcement to name a few important items).

One of the most important keys my research uncovered to successful First Nations socio-economic development advancement is productive entrepreneurship.

Productive enterprise means jobs. It can provide direct income to the nation in the form of business revenues or indirect income in the form of taxes. It often leads to new venture opportunities for the First Nations or its citizens, multiplying its own effects; and it constitutes a way of meeting its community needs that is subject culturally in one way or another to community control.

Productive and sustainable entrepreneurship in First Nations typically comes in three forms – internal markets, export markets or both non-aboriginal ownership that employs First Nations citizens and serves aboriginal markets. The urgent need for growth, diversification and resilience in First Nations economies suggests the wise choice is to explore all the various forms of enterprise development.

There is, however, no concrete way that First Nations, or anyone else for that matter, can guarantee entrepreneurial success and communities or their entrepreneurs who demand such guarantees will be quickly immobilized.

The factors that shape entrepreneurial success are too diverse and we recognize that a degree of risk is always inherent in a free society.

But, I have discovered that First Nations’ entrepreneurs and their respective communities can control certain factors that can increase their chances of enterprise success and thereby enjoy potentially considerable econom-

ic benefit.

External economic conditions are often tough to control for First Nations entrepreneurs— from the cost of capital, market behaviour, competition, regulatory environments and government policies toward First Nations enterprises.

Skillful new venture preparation may affect some of these things but I have a firm belief that First Nations communities that create a spirit of entrepreneurship from within ensure the installa-

tion of entrepreneurship education and training best practices, as well as embrace partnerships for new venture creation that blend First Nations aspiring entrepreneurs with existing non-First Nations entrepreneurs and collaborations with dedicated and committed educational institutions and organizations for all entrepreneurship pursuit will produce enviable results.

For several years prior to moving to the Okanagan, I was immersed voluntarily in First Na-

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

NOW Canada ‘s

tions economic development throughout Saskatchewan and visited many of the communities and tribal councils from top to bottom of the province.

I had the privilege of creating one of the first aboriginal entrepreneurship centres in the province and originated and orchestrated an international licencing agreement for First Nations communities to access a leading edge entrepreneurship training series from the U.S.A.

Through this experience, I was extremely privileged to meet and learn from the multitude of talented First Nations people and first-hand, witness the interest of these people to the benefits of entrepreneurship creation and how its journey can affect a positive impact on their lives.

One of the great partnerships that I have observed since moving to British Columbia in 2006 from Saskatchewan is the FirstBusiness.ca web site and all that it contains is

a wonderful platform for young First Nations entrepreneurs to access.

So I would like to applaud all First Nations leaders in the Okanagan region and throughout Canada that embrace entrepreneurship education and new venture creation as solid courses to follow for advancement in First Nations socio-economic foundation.

Input sought on Centennial park plans

Thursday, July 3, 2014 Capital NewsC

NEWS

In 1939 a group of Rutland residents teamed up to form the Rutland Park Society. They raised funds and bought land at 180 Rutland Road North to create a community owned park—Centennial Park.

In 1967, the Centennial Hall was added and for decades the park and hall have played host to numerous community and family celebrations and events.

The park is still owned by the society and man-

aged by a volunteer board dedicated to keeping it community owned and operated. But maintenance and upkeep of the park and hall have proven a challenge and in order for the park to remain a valuable commun-

ity asset, the society has made a deal with the City of Kelowna to have the city assume ownership of the park on condition it remain in perpetuity. The city has agreed and will make improvements to the park.

Three concept plans have been developed. The society will host two open houses, July 2 and 3, to gather input. The July 2 open house will be part of the Uptown Rutland Business Association’s Business After Hours at the

Centennial Hall. The July 3 open house will also be at Centennial Hall from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. All city residents are invited to comment on the plans.

After the open houses, the plans will go to society members for comment.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Whitetail defines the style at Predator Ridge

Barry Gerding

The new Whitetail neighbourhood at Predator Ridge could be the defining point in the lifecycle of the development.

Brad Pelletier, vice-president of Predator Ridge developer Wesbuild, says with the golf course community about 25 per cent completed for potential development, Whitetail could send a strong signal about the design direction of the remaining land.

“For us right now, I think Whitetail rivals or is arguably more important than our golf courses,” Pelletier said.

Why is Whitetail such an exciting prospect for Wesbuild? Pelletier says it is for two reasons.

One is the desire to step away from the linear design of houses ringing around a golf course, to reduce the house density and move toward more a cluster concept where five or six homes are located together separated from similar clusters by the natural environment landscape.

Second is moving in a different architectural direction, away from traditional Craftsman style homes currently prevalent at Predator Ridge to a unique presentation that responds to the Okanagan landscape and lifestyle.

“In working with our three architects on this project, it means more contemporary roof lines, greater emphasis on outdoor lifestyle opportunities within the home, and more glass and wood treatments for the interior,”

Whitetail at Predator Ridge Location: Predador Ridge golf course, between Lake Country and Vernon Style: Single-level cottage-style properties, with a garage and ample storage, winding streets Views: West- and east-facing lots, with views of the Ridge and Predator golf courses and in some cases Okanagan Lake Interior: Glass and wood treatments Buyer: For those who want a smaller full-time residence, or who spend winters in the south Amenities: Easy walking distance to fitness centre, sports pub, gourmet dining, 12 km of groomed hiking trails and the Commonage Market.

Possibly more defining of Predator Ridge than its stellar golf courses, says v-p of developer Wesbuild.

Pelletier said.

Claire Radford, the resort’s property specialist, says Whitetail is designed to fulfill the wish lists of a wide range of buyers.

“There will be a few estate lots for people who want that added space and privacy. We’ll also have something that has been in short supply (at Predator Ridge), rancher lots in a range of sizes for buyers who prefer a single-level home.

Radford says cottage-style properties, with a garage and ample storage, will be “ideal for buyers who

want a smaller full-time residence, or who spend winters in the south and plan to be here for six months of the year.”

The neighbourhood will offer a selection of westand east-facing lots, with views of the Ridge and Predator golf courses and in some cases Okanagan Lake, ranging in price from the $200,000s up to $600,000.

“It’s something people are very particular about,” said Radford. “Our buyers from Alberta tend to really want to face into the bright afternoon sun while those

who have been living in the Okanagan for a while tend to prefer the morning sun and softer afternoon light.”

And situated between the fairways of the two Predator Ridge golf courses, Whitetail residents will be within easy walking distance to the resort’s many other amenities, such as a fitness centre, sports pub, gourmet dining, 12 kilometres of groomed hiking trails and the Commonage Market.

Pelletier is enthused that the less predicable development approach for

MIXED MESSAGES You should never mix spray heads, rotors or drip irrigation in the same zone. The water application rates for each of these types is different. For example rotors apply approximately half the water of spray heads, if you set your timer to the correct amount of water for the spray heads, the areas with the rotors will not get enough water and you will end up with dry spots. If you then set your timer to the correct time for the rotors, the areas with spray heads will be drowned.

Check the manufacturers specifications of your irrigation heads to determine the gallons per minute for your water pressure to ensure proper coverage and water timing.

Drip irrigation is the same reasoning, drip irrigation works on application rates of gallons per hour, whereas rotors work on gallons per minute. If you combine these two types of irrigation in one zone, the drip irrigation will not deliver enough water to your plants, whereas if you set the amount of time to for the drip irrigation correctly you could end up with a pool in your backyard where the sprays and rotors are located.

Over and under-watering are major factors that affect the health of your plants which can lead to disease. It is also a major waste of water.

Native Garden contain extremely drought tolerant plants, watered in the first year only.

The Mediterranean Garden thrives with only a small amount of supplemental water during prolonged dry summers.

The Butterfly Garden and the Ornamental Grass Garden are irrigated weekly during hot, dry weather.

This year, none of the gardens have required irrigation until mid June.

Plants were chosen for long season of bloom or exceptional foliage creating extremely colourful gardens that are always changing throughout the long, Okanagan growing season.

There are a few shrubs and trees, but the focus is on perennials and ornamental grasses.

New this year in the Mediterranean Garden is a grouping of ground cover poppy mallow, and purple ice plant. Both bloom from June through September.

Their purple flowers bring out the purple variegation in the leaves of nearby tricolour sage.

Golden sage and woolly sunflower are a new combination in the Butterfly

‘Nearly Wild’ roses, ‘Royal Burgundy’ barberry, and ‘Blue Waterfall’ Serbian bellflower form a colourful backdrop to the Butterfly Garden sign..

Garden. They have replaced plants that couldn’t tolerate the intense heat reflected off the adjacent concrete sidewalk.

The Rock Gardens have had Penstemon ‘Red Rocks’ and Penstemon pinifolius added.

Both bloom throughout the hot summer and into fall.

Their red colour and tubular shape attract hummingbirds.

More varieties of sedums and hen and chicks have

been planted in the Rock Gardens to enhance the interesting combinations of these tough, easy to grow species. There are many variations in the foliage so they give a colourful display even when not in bloom.

The early, cool season grasses: feather reed, blue oat, and blue gramma are all in bloom. The blue fescue has also bloomed but our volunteers who maintain the gardens have

cut off the flower heads to avoid having to weed out hundreds of babies next spring.

We will have copies of my favourite xeriscape reference ‘Creating the Prairie Xeriscape’ by Sara Williams for sale as well as photo cards of plants in the garden. Both are fund raisers for the Okanagan Xeriscape Association (OXA).

2014 OXA memberships will be available.

GWEN STEELE

I hope to see you on July 9. If you cannot make it then, be sure to visit the garden and pick up the garden brochure from the box to the right of the main entrance sign. It contains a list of the plants in each theme garden.

And where those buyers will come from, he adds, is almost across Canada as Predator Ridge “works hard to market ourselves in areas where others don’t.”

He says buyers are attracted to the Okanagan development from the Lower Mainland and Alberta, as well as further east to Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec.

The nearby Sparkling Hill development has also added a different aspect for buyers to consider. “They are a fantastic partner for us on our site and we are able to offer our homeowners exclusive day use of the spa’s facilities in the same way they can offer access to golf here as well.”

Predator Ridge plans to launch a preview tour of the available lots to homeowners next week, and launch the sales campaign to the public beginning Thursday, July 10.

A COUPLE of kids run the bases at a Kelowna Falcons game, getting dressed in fireman’s gear at each base. The recent fundraiser raised more than $21,000 for firefighter charities.

CONTRIBUTED

Falcons join firefighters to raise big coin, have some big fun Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

In three short years, a night out at a Kelowna Falcons baseball game has become the biggest single fundraiser for the Kelowna Professional Firefighters Society.

The firefighters and the Falcons combined to raise over $21,000 towards local charities last week as the Falcons played host to the 3rd Annual Firefighters Night at Elk Stadium in an event that has helped to transform the firefighters fundraising techniques and also serves to bring in one of the biggest crowds of the season for the Falcons.

Close to 1,000 people turned out for the fund-

raising game as the Falcons handed over the operation of one baseball game to the firefighters, donating the gate receipts and 50-50 money to the firefighters charities.

“We think it’s a win win situation,” said Kelowna firefighter Patrick Barton. “Obviously we get to raise a lot of money but they get a lot of people exposed to their game.

Over the last three years it’s really snowballed. I go to our sponsors now and they say they can’t wait to see us at the game.”

At the Falcons game the firefighters set up a kids area with bouncy castles and face painting, held contests on the field and ended the evening with a fireworks dis-

play. Calgary’s Marching Ghosts marching band also performed after the game. The event also doubled as the annual BBQ for retired Kelowna firefighters.

“We’ve been trying to come up with different ideas and this has turned out really well for us,” said Barton. “The Falcons have been unbelievable.

They have given us whatever we need.”

In the three year run for the Firefighters Night at the ball park, the groups have raised just under $60,000 for a variety of charities that the firefighters support including the Kelowna Food Bank, the KGH Foundation, the Kelowna YMCA and muscular dystrophy.

CONTRIBUTED

FALCONS owners Dan (left) and Mark Nonis partnered with the firefighters to help raise money.

It comes as a bit of a shift in firefighter fund-

raising initiatives as the group looks to host more

family events and has combined forces with

sports teams. This past winter saw the firefighters raise about $16,000 selling T-shirts at Kelowna Rockets games.

“With our society we want to surround ourselves with positive influences in the community,” said Barton. “The Falcons and the Nonis family are very well respected and the Rockets are one of the best organizations in the WHL. It’s a pretty good win win with these two sports teams and our sponsors have really gotten behind us as well.”

Barton said the firefighters owe a lot of thanks the Falcons ownership for allowing them to take over a game and raise money for their charities. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

▼ ELKS STADIUM

Jays beat Athletics in all-Kelowna final at Baseball Blast After a long weekend of baseball, the Kelowna Jays came away victorious in the 11th Annual Canada Day Baseball Blast at Elks Stadium on the weekend, winning an all-Kelowna final with a 6-1 victory over the Okanagan Athletics.

The four-team event wrapped up on Monday under perfect conditions at Elks Stadium as Joey Fraser earned the win on the mound for the Jays, pitching five strong innings and allowing just one unearned run in the win.

Fraser gave up just two hits, walked four and struck out three while Alex Wojitsiak came in for the final two innings on the mound to seal the victory.

It was a tight game as the Jays opened the scoring in the first inning before the Athletics tied the game in the third. But the Jays responded with a pair of runs in the bot-

tom of the third to take the lead for good. They added three in the bottom of the six after a triple by Cameron Lowe drove home two runs and Brandon Graham followed that with a double.

Jays veteran infielder Corey Smith had a fantastic weekend and was the unanimous pick as tournament Most Valuable Player.

The 11th annual Baseball Blast was one of the smallest fields in the tournament’s history with just four teams taking part.

But it was a competitive weekend with plenty of baseball played and some excellent games.

Monday featured the semi-final games as well as the Jays began the day with a 6-3 win over the Prince George Axemen in the semi-final. The Jays and PG were tied 3-3 in the 5th inning before key hits from Smith Ryo Shisido and Johnny Hosmer pushed across the go

In the other semifinal, the Athletics came up against a strong Calgary Diamondbacks club.

Jared Young turned in an excellent performance on the mound for the A’s and

was also a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate to lead the A’s

to a 4-2 win over Calgary.

Trevor Lofstrom,

Christian Dupas and James Walker all had two

hits each in the semi-final win.

▼ CHL DRAFT

Rockets add forward The Kelowna Rockets added a forward with size to its stable of prospects on Wednesday morning as the CHL held its annual draft of import players.

After putting up the most points in the CHL last season, the Rockets were slotted in to pick 60th out of the 60 teams across the CHL as teams in the WHL, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League alternated picks throughout the two round import draft.

Kelowna selected Tomas Soustal with pick number 60 in the draft, a 17-year-old forward from the Czech Republic. At 6-foot-3 and 198 pounds, Soustal will bring size and youth to the Rockets.

“He’s a gifted player and he has size,” said Rockets president/GM Bruce Hamilton. “I think it’s important that we add size to our roster.”

Rockets new head coach Dan Lambert has been in touch with Soustal, who will play for the Czech Republic in the Ivan Hlinka Under-18 hockey championships

this summer before flying to Kelowna to take part in the Rockets training camp.

“He’s a big kid with good hands and good shot,” said Lambert.

“He’s a young guy at 17 so down the road he will be counted on to provide some offense.”

The Rockets now have the maximum two imports as Swiss forward Kris Schmidli will also be back in Kelowna for training camp after completing his rookie season last year with the Rockets, putting up nine goals and 26 assists in 68 games played.

KELOWNA swimmer Kierra Smith, here in action, will headline a ceremony honouring Kelowna athletes on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Okanagan College.

▼ BARBECUE

Smith featured at recognition for Commonwealth athletes PacificSport Okanagan is hosting a barbecue and recognition ceremony today (July 3) for local athletes, coaches, and support staff heading to Glasgow, Scotland for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Headlining the event will be swimmer Kierra Smith who will be honoured for her achievements and will share her experience on qualifying for her first Commonwealth Games.

A dynamic swimmer, Smith has long envisioned wearing her country’s colours at the highest level of international competition.

The 20-year-old Kelowna athlete grew up training and competing for the West Kelowna Liquid Lightning Swim Club under the guidance of coach Emil Dimitrov.

She now spends her academic year studying and competing in the NCAA for the University of Minnesota Gophers. At the Commonwealth Games, Smith will compete for Canada in the 100 and 200 metre

breaststroke events.

Also headed to Glasgow will be Kelowna field hockey stars Abigail Raye and Danielle Henning. With more than 170 international appearances combined, the duo hopes to provide veteran leadership for the women’s Canadian field hockey team at the games.

Kelowna locals Al and Vi Hanet will also represent Canada at the games competing in lawn bowling.

Al will team up with Calgary’s Heather Hannett to represent Canada in visually impaired lawn bowling pairs while Vi Hanet will serve as a guide.

In addition, this event will highlight the athletes representing the Okanagan at the 2014 BC Summer Games in Nanaimo and the 2014 International Children’s Games in Lake Macquarie, Australia.

The event starts at 5 p.m. at Okanagan College with the official ceremony at 6 p.m. tonight.

It’s the beginner’s guide to floating. Being in a float tank is like relaxing in outer space and is about everything you won’t be doing. Here’s what happens when you are floating: you will not be fighting gravity. The water is kept at skin temperature and you may lose track of where your body ends and the water begins. Your ears stay just below the water and the tanks are insulated against sound. After you shut the door and turn off the light, you float in total darkness. For an hour and a half, the outside world is gone.Your mind is free to mull things over without distraction and your body gets to rest, de-stress and heal, so aches and pains can also subside.

Growing from a one person company to a team of copywriters, designers and development specialists over the past 10 years seems to be the most fulfilling aspect of the company, along with working with their clients to define concise strategies and implementing those to reach their online

Lakeshore and Cook, just before bridge, so getting in and out of the restaurant is easy. We stopped in for pizza last week and it was absolutely delicious.

Sitting outside on the patio was very pleasant and not at all noisy. Werner Kasper is the now owner/ operator of the restaurant.

The Anatomy of a Surgeon

Photo Credit: Shawn Talbot

An olympian, a cellist, a yoga-loving researcher; there is plenty of talent in new surgical hires. (Left to right) Dr. Curtis Myden, Dr. Jeremy Harris, Dr. Derek Plausinis, Dr. Paul Mick and Dr. Shaun Deen have all just arrived at Kelowna General Hospital as Interior Health builds out its program for the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre.

With the mint green front panel of its brand

new medical school pointing toward thick rows of scaffolding, one can feel the frenetic pace of progress on approach at Kelowna General Hospital.

Even the thin veneer of dust cannot take the shine off the sense of hope the massive expansion of this hospital has brought to the community. Yet it’s really the doctors behind the glass walls who offer the best taste of the possibility to come, particularly for the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre. “We’re trying to build a centre of excellence that’s a resource for people from across the Interior of BC,” says Dr. Paul Mick, an ear, nose and throat specialist who polished his medical training with a master’s degree in public health at Harvard University.

Mick is interested in the big picture problems bringing patients to his door and sought out groundbreaking researcher Dr. Frank Lin as a mentor in Boston. “I think the problem of hearing loss in older people is sort of under appreciated,” he explained. “It’s looked at as unfortunate, but inconsequential.”

Lin’s hypothesis suggests the cognitive overload a patient whose hearing is failing experiences trying to sort out sounds leaves them less brainpower to take meaning from words. As it was explained in the New York Times, when medical journalists started taking notice, he’s out to prove there is a critical link between hearing loss and the onset of dementia—something to ponder in this era of iPod-loving music fiends and stereos built to blast.

For a yoga enthusiast and culture buff like Mick, finding a new surgical program in a lively smaller city where he too can contribute to the larger dialogue in his field was enough reason to pack up his Nissan Sentra and drive almost 4000 kilometres back to his home province. He is also one of a handful of new surgeons who have just been hired at KGH and has high hopes for the job.

“I would like us to not just be at the forefront of medicine, but generating new knowledge and new ways of doing things based on evidence and research,” he said.

And from the sounds of things, this surgical centre will be a bastion of creativity. It will house the first, and only, cardiac program in the Interior of British Columbia and offer 15 operating rooms, with space for up to 600 open heart procedures annually.

The latest hires each bring the kind of resumé, talent and people skills one would expect from individuals trained for nearly two decades to work in their field. And if they share one goal, it’s to do their best on every case.

“I just enjoy helping patients. I love seeing them in the office and the gratitude after you’ve done a good job,” said Dr. Shaun Deen, a thoracic surgeon who grew up in Calgary and was hired after a year of sub-specialty work in Seattle. Deen is the doctor’s doctor in the crowd. A brief dalliance with the idea of engineering in high school is about as far as he’s strayed from the surgical path.

From his first year of undergraduate studies, he made a beeline for surgery and says can’t imagine it any other way. “Surgery is a thinking man’s game. It isn’t all about using your hands.

You’ve got to assess the problem, figure out what you think the best way to tackle it is and there’s not always just one way,” he said.

His year in the States was spent learning robotics and minimally invasive surgery techniques he can use when tackling the lung and esophageal cancers filling a typical day in his office. Like every surgeon, he consults on unique injuries—a knife lodge between organs or a mass growing above a young person’s heart. Funnily enough, the surgeons themselves often participate in the activities one might expect to land a patient on their operating table.

In addition to playing cello, orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Derek Plausinis loves to mountain bike and ski, for example. After doing his subspecialty training for shoulders and elbows in New York, he moved to Kamloops where he practiced for nine years, developing a good rapport with the team who would become his partners in Kelowna. Making the move last summer took some consideration nonetheless.

“I’ve been practicing for almost 10 years. I’m knowledgable and skilled and marketable.

From that point of view, it’s a good time to make a switch. And my kids are 10 and 12, so if you’re going to make a change in life, you’ve got to do it,” he explained.

not be best for the other,” Harris explained.

“So I like the idea of the hybrid operating room. You’re really not constrained by your facility.”

Plausinis took a circuitous route to surgery, earning a masters degree in engineering, focused on viscoelastic fracture mechanics (cracks in rubber-like materials) before entering medical school. “I thought I would do something to do with the musculoskeletal system. I like that because I like biomechanics and you can apply some engineering to the body. But I didn’t know I would like surgery,” he said.

As Dr. Curtis Myden explains it, the constant evolution of a practice, the unending pursuit of better technology, is really the trick to the trade.

He and Dr. Jeremy Harris, a vascular surgeon hired out of London, Ontario, have a lot in common in the respect that they both fell into surgery and neither expected to uproot themselves for the chance to get in on the ground floor of a new surgical program. The Harris kids are 15, 13, 9 and 6 and they all drove across the country with their parents in the family mini-van to make this move.

“It was some good chaos for us as a family, but the kids really did well. We are quite blessed,” the doctor said.

Harris started his career at the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western University, graduating with a bachelor of business into a career, he admits, felt soulless. Three years in, having failed to find anything fulfilling in his chosen vocation, he returned to school and “fell in love with anatomy.”

A chance meeting with a very personable surgeon in medical school convinced him the stereotypical cold surgeon truly was the stuff of fiction and to hear him speak is to know this is a man who loves people.

“I think they generally say in any surgery if you’re doing the same surgery when you started when you retire then something’s gone wrong.

You should be adapting. Things do change.

There’s research. There’s evidence that goes into getting the best results for your patient.

That’s the challenge. You’ve got to keep up to date to do the best for your patients,” he said.

Thankfully, Myden has quite the competitive edge. Having brought home three Olympic bronze medals, competing in three successive summer Olympics in the breaststroke and medley events, he’s well trained to take the lead. As another one of the new hires, he will be doing orthopaedic surgery, focusing on sports medicine and kids. “There’s a really young, active adult population in Kelowna. A lot of people injuring themselves. So hopefully I’ll be helping a lot of people stay active,” he said.

Outfitting the new surgical centre to meet the surgeons’ needs takes funds and, as such, a $12 million capital fundraising campaign is underway through the KGH Foundation.

More information can be found at bealifesaver. net and they are actively seeking donations.

The doctors all have wish lists. Deen is pushing to see the hospital get into robotics. Harris is thrilled by the possibility of an operating room capable of handling multiple needs, with the technology of whole departments all in one room.

Of note to local drivers is a new 120 km/h limit for the Okanagan Connector, in the portion of road running from Aspen Grove to the Drought Hill Interchange near Peachland. Signs in that area were changed yesterday morning.

people attended each of the concerts last summer, according to Ryan Donn, creative director for Creative Okanagan.

“Cog Gone Wild! (brought out) 1,100 people—that was our biggest (concert) last year,” said Donn.

“They draw big crowds, so we pretty much book them every year…every other act is pretty much new.”

Those who commute to and from Vernon may soon be able to let their speedometers register an extra 10 km/h on a 16 kilometre stretch of Highway 97, running from Gatzke Road, north of Oyama to College Way, south of Vernon.

That hike is pending completion of engineering assessment to determine if median barriers are required before implementation.

In all, 35 sections of rural provincial highway totalling 1,300 are getting higher speed limits.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit.

A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions.

Digital signs that can display different limits will be tested on sections of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla and Sea-to-Sky highways.

In northern B.C., 52 per cent of people taking part in public consultation did not support speed limit increases, and that region will not see changes.

All other regions had support, the highest in the

Lower Mainland at 81 per cent.

RCMP opposed increasing speed limits on rural highways. ICBC representatives also expressed safety concerns, and will monitor areas with higher limits to see if the severity of crashes increases.

Ministry statistics show the number of serious crashes on provincial highways has decreased 28 per cent since 2003, from a combination of improved vehicle technology, driver education and enforcement.

The ministry accepted recommendations from RCMP representatives to improve signs that encourage slower traffic to move

to right lanes, and to clarify winter tire rules. The ministry is changing regulations to make tires with an “M&S” (mud and snow) symbol as well as those with a “mountain snowflake” (winter) symbol acceptable for roads requiring winter tires.

New designs for wildlife warning signs, including lighted signs for high incident areas, are being installed.

An updated sign reminding drivers to “Keep Right, Let Others Pass” is being installed, after people around the province expressed frustration about the slow vehicles in passing lanes.

Warrior roundup: Deals made for players A player the West Kelowna Warriors picked up at the B.C. Hockey League deadline has secured an NCAA commitment for next year.

The Warriors have announced that Ryan Fraser-Lee, 20, has committed to the University of Oklahoma for the 2014/2015 season.

Fraser-Lee played two seasons in the BCHL with the Surrey Eagles and the Langley Rivermen before finishing last season with the Warriors.

Warriors coach Rylan

Ferster says Fraser-Lee was a valuable pick up for his club.

“Ryan was a great January 10th pick up for us,” said Ferster. “He added veteran leadership and playoff experience. We would like to thank him for his contributions to the program and wish him luck with his new team.”

Fraser-Lee collected two goals and seven assists with the Warriors in 23 games. He becomes the ninth Warrior from 2013/2014 to commit to school for next season.

••• The Warriors made a minor deal late last month, adding forward Dante Hahn (95) from the Victoria Grizzlies in exchange for future considerations.

The veteran forward will add skill to the Warrior lineup.

“With Lloyd and Anholt moving on to college we felt we needed to add some skill down the middle, Dante can really skate and has great stick skills,” said assistant coach Brent Gough.

••• Five BCHL players plus one league alumni playing NCAA Division 1 hockey were selected

by NHL clubs at the NHL Entry Draft in Philadelphia last weekend.

Surrey Eagles alum Devon Toews was selected by the New York Islanders in the 4th round while Danton Heinen of the Surrey Eagles was chosen by Boston, also in the fourth round. Other BCHL players drafted were Liam Coughlin of the Vernon Vipers (Edmonton Oilers, 5th round), Alec Dillon of the Victoria Grizzlies (LA Kings, 5th round), Matt Ustaski of the Lange-

ly Rivermen (Winnipeg Jets, 7th round) and Jack Ramsey of the Penticton Vees (Chicago Blackhawks, 7th round).

Since the draft went to seven rounds in 2007, this total is two less than the league-record-tying seven players that were selected in 2013. The most ever BCHL players taken in one draft was in 2004 when 12 players were selected.

The highest-drafted BCHL player ever was Kyle Turris, who went third overall to the then-Phoenix Coyotes.

The last BCHL player to be selected in the first round was Beau Bennett, drafted from Penticton by Pittsburgh 20th overall in 2010.
