CLOSE-UP

Second trial underway for cold case mystery

Kathy Michaels

home in June of 2009.

Two officers knocked on Snelson’s door and started to ask him questions about the cold case. He claimed he didn’t know the young woman.

Officers asked Snelson if his DNA would be found at the crime scene. ‘”No, no— I don’t think so,” he told the officers.

“Then he told a story about sexual encounters he had with two girls he met at the party, neither of whom were Jennifer Cusworth,” said Pizzey.

“He began that story by talking about a belt.”

A belt, she highlighted for the jury, was found across the road from the ditch where Cusworth’s body, which showed signs of strangulation and bludgeoning, was discovered.

Pizzey also told the jury that Crown would be bringing forward witnesses to testify that once Snelson’s DNA was collected, it matched semen samples left in Cusworth, offering the first known link between the two.

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

What happened to Jennifer Cusworth from the time she left a party near Kelowna’s downtown to a day later when her lifeless body was found slumped over in a remote rural ditch?

That question, which nagged at cold case investigators until they made an arrest in 2009, is at the heart of a manslaughter trial being held in a Kamloops courtroom this month.

Neil George Snelson, 47, is once again on trial for the 1993 killing of the Kelowna teen, following a successful appeal of a previous decision.

As Crown counsel Dione Pizzey started the re-trial, she told a jury of five men and seven women as the trial got underway Wednesday, that Snelson became a focus for police after a conversation held outside his

Cusworth, who had been living with her aunt and uncle in Glenmore, had spent the last day of her life partying with friends. It started in the early evening of Oct. 15, 1993, when she and a few others gathered at a friend’s house.

They were drinking, said Pizzey, and decided to go to the downtown nightclub Iggy’s. Before closing, the DJ announced there would be a party at the friend’s house where she had started the night.

“It was a small house and it was packed from people everywhere, inside and out,” said Pizzey.

Friends of Cusworth noted how drunk she had become, said Pizzey, and they were concerned she was going to walk home alone. To stave off that possibility they assigned babysitters, of sorts, but eventually they lost track of her.

“The next time (her friend Faith) turned around to look for Jennifer, she was gone,” said Pizzey.

Neil Snelson was also at the party.

Pizzey told jurors evidence set to be presented in the days ahead will show that he had driven two young women home, and had arranged plans to meet another friend at Denny’s after that task was complete.

That friend, said Pizzey, will testify that he waited, and waited, but Snelson never showed up.

On Oct. 27 1993, as the investigation into Cusworth’s killing got underway, Snelson was approached by Sgt. Wade Severson.

“He asked Snelson to fill out a questionnaire. You will hear what Mr. Snelson said and see the questionnaire,” she said.

Snelson told Severson that he drove the girls home, went to Denny’s, then he went home, where his then-wife was waiting. He was shown a photo of Cusworth and told Severson he didn’t recognize the image.

His then-wife is expected to testify

today, said Pizzey. She worked a couple of jobs and was going to school in 1993. Friday night to Saturday morning, she was out, so she doesn’t remember seeing her then-husband.

Pizzey said she will also testify that Snelson was familiar with the area that Cusworth’s body was found, and that they had discussed the fact that he and Cusworth had been at the same party.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley explained to jurors that Pizzey’s opening comments are only an outline of what’s to come, and not evidence. That will be offered by witnesses.

He also told them that Snelson had already stood trial for the offence.

“Do not speculate what happened at the end of that trial. What happened there has nothing to do with this trial—absolutely nothing.”

The trial is expected to last the next few weeks.

Gospel Mission courtyard project offers homeless ‘a sense of place’ awaters@kelownacapnews.com

The Kelowna Gospel Mission says the people who use its services need somewhere to congregate during the day—and that’s not outside its doors on the sidewalk of Leon Avenue.

So it’s planning to spend $80,000 to convert an unused building next door into an open-air courtyard, complete with greenery, benches and, what the Gospel Mission hopes will be an inviting atmosphere.

“Too often during the day the homeless, due to a lack of options, are staying in places that put them at odds with the police, business owners and those who

prey on the homeless,” said Benson at a news conference announcing the courtyard project Wednesday.

“Working with all of the groups and businesses represented here today, we have come up with a solution to benefit the homeless and the city of Kelowna.”

Both Benson and Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran stressed the project is not an attempt to hide the issue of homelessness in the city by moving those who normally stand outside the mission into a walled courtyard.

“Quite the opposite,” said Basran. “We think everybody deserves a sense of place.”

The project is a

partnership between the Mission, the city and the Downtown Business Association.

It has been financially kick-started by the city, which awarded it a $10,000 grant earlier this year.

Benson said the cost to create the 2,500-squarefoot courtyard works out to be about $32 per square-foot, so it is asking the public to “buy” a square-foot by making a donation equal to the cost. The Gospel Mission has set up a web page to donate to the project at kelownagospelmission.ca.

“The courtyard is a continuing effort of the Mission to end homelessness and support those in need,” said Benson. “Whether

The courtyard was described as a safe place for the homeless that will also help beautify the city and help the downtown businesses. Demolition of

it is overnight shelter, a courtyard, housing solutions or the new Stepup program for men, Kelowna’s Gospel Mission is here to serve and end homelessness one person at a time.”

Best known for its food program, the Mission also offers a myriad of other services such as free lockers, showers, clothing and a free dental program.

As a result, there is often an overflow of people waiting to get in. And they now gather outside on the sidewalk.

While part of that issue may be alleviated now that the Gospel Mission has converted its former 4,000-square-foot thrift store space into an extension of its dining/day

the building on the site of the courtyard could start this month with the project set for completion by the end of the summer, said Benson.

The Gospel Mission does not own the building but has permission from the owner to tear it down

and use the space for the courtyard.

The front wall of the building, with its windows onto the street, will be left standing and repainted in bright colours but the rest of the building will be torn down to create the openair area.

Social media helps Kelowna woman find her father Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A Kelowna woman who spends her working life explaining the power of social media just got her own lesson on its might.

Melonie Dodaro, of Top Dog Social Media, turned to her Facebook account his week and

posted a video aimed at finding the biological father she’d never met, and came out with an Elvis impersonating philanthropist she’s already called ‘Daddy.’

When Dodaro, 46, embarked on her fatherfinding mission, she knew very little.

She had his approximate age and

date of birth, the city in the Netherlands he was from and a few things he liked to do.

Complicating matters, however, was that his name is Cees de Jong— ”the Dutch equivalent of John Smith,” she said.

It was pretty much like finding a needle in a haystack.

The only difference

It takes guts to make it stop.

was that courtesy of Facebook shares, she had somewhere in the area of 27,000 people looking for the proverbial needle.

The story travelled far and wide in the few days it was posted and

by Monday morning a reporter from the Netherlands contacted Dodaro to say, “I want to write your story.”

She obliged with an interview and,

WALK WITH US.

encouraged by the interest, she wrote a blog post with more information about her dad in it.

That seemed to garner even more attention.

“One woman posted all these photos of a rock star with a different name from the ‘70s and ‘80s,” she said. “I thought, ‘Why is she posting all these pictures of Colin Young?

That’s not his name.’”

called her father, conveyed her number and within 10 minutes he called, and she heard his voice for the first time.

She learned that her father—who is currently a philanthropist who lives in Thailand raising funds for various charities working as an Elvis impersonator— had tried to find her, too.

He’d dated her mom only a short time and only found out about her existence after he moved away from the country.

At that time, her mother who was a teenager when she gave birth, had already married someone, and Dodaro’s grandmother had told De Jong not to call back.

He had tried again to reach her years later, but didn’t have a last name as her mother had remarried. Knowing that he had wanted to know about her as much as she wanted to know about him was “one of the best parts of this,” said Dodaro.

“I said to my husband last night, I feel complete for the first time in my life,” said Dodaro. “A mystery that plagued me my whole life, has been solved.”

She plans on meeting her long lost father some time this summer, and introducing him to his 27-year-old grandson.

Then a woman who would be her cousin said it was her uncle, more questions were answered and eventually the mystery landed back on the desk of the Dutch reporter who wrote the original story.

“He said, ‘I have his number, do you want to call?’” She declined, noting that she was terrified.

Instead the reporter

news _____________________________________________________________________ NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Initiative to improve medical support for gay men The Men’s Health Initiative has a single, very simple and yet important goal; to increase the number of communitybased support networks for gay men.

The Living Positive Resource Centre in Kelowna and Anchors in Nelson started the initiative. Program coordinator Dylan Wall says it began as the Engaging Physicians project.

“It was solely based on engaging physicians with gay men anvd making sure they had the knowledge to better serve that population,” he explains.

“It’s kind of evolved since then, so now it’s the Men’s Health Initiative.”

That evolution included a conference for service providers and health care professionals with the goals of making sure there are medical resources available for those who need it, and that people have the knowledge to stay safe during any activity.

The conference was something of a culmination of the change in approach that the initiative underwent shortly before January. Before the new year it consisted mainly of community-

However, Wall notes it is still contingent on the needs assessment as they

based support groups, but now it focuses on making sure gay men have the knowledge and information to stay safe, particularly from HIV. Wall notes there has been a trend in HIV rates among gay men recently, in that it has plateaued.

The rates are no longer increasing; however, they are also not decreasing.

While reducing those rates is the current goal for the Men’s Health Initiative, Wall explains that may change. He says they are planning to conduct a needs assessment survey to find out what kind of medical support gay men in the Interior are asking for, and to take the program from there.

One thing Wall could see them doing in the future is take after the example of the Health

Local writer’s short indie film screened at Cannes Film Festival The short film Eye For An Eye has had quite a run so far.

The independent production placed amongst the top six projects in STORYHIVE’s Pilot Season, nabbing the production a $5,000 grant and a spot on Telus Optik’s VOD. Then the short was selected to be part of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival as part of the Court Métrage; making its European debut in a

private screening nestled in the Short Film Corner of the Palais.

Eye For An Eye also garnered world-wide distribution interest during its run at Cannes.

Set against a hostile political backdrop, the film speaks to the intimate relationships between people and the delicate balance of choice.

The film is a true ode to multiculturalism, both through the story and

behind-the-scenes.

It aims to honour its inspiration with luscious imagery of Vancouver, and showcases the talent of Bangladeshi director Khijir Hayat Khan and lead actor Shaan Rahman.

It also features an original score composed by local musician Vytas Sinkevicius and music from Jimmy LeGuilloux, also from Kelowna.

“We’re in a unique position,” said Kelownaraised writer and

Water board won’t pay if B.C. doesn’t stop invasive species at borders With the Province of B.C. declaring June as Invasive Species Action Month, the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) has released a Position Statement on zebra and quagga mussels.

“Awareness is great, but action is better,” said OBWB chair Doug Findlater following a board meeting. “The water board is doing all

consequently the species are introduced.”

According to a staff report, there are lessons to be learned from the 45 years the water board has been conducting invasive milfoil control for the Okanagan. Over its lifetime, the program has cost Okanagan taxpayers more than $10 million, while the province has contributed less than $8 million, and none in the

the appropriate laws and enforce them,” Findlater said.

The seven-point Position Statement on invasive zebra and quagga mussels includes, “the OBWB will not accept responsibility for the long-term treatment, mitigation or control of zebra or quagga mussels if the province fails to enact appropriate prevention measures, and

it can within its mandate to prevent the spread of these species into the Okanagan,” he added, noting the launch of the Don’t Move a Mussel campaign, efforts to help local communities prepare, and an ongoing push on those with greater authority to do more.

“Ultimately, it is up to senior levels of government to bring in

last 15 years.

At the same time, research for the OBWB has suggested the cost of a mussel invasion in the Okanagan could be at least $43 million each year in direct costs, lost revenue and property values, added maintenance of aquatic infrastructure as well as irreparable ecological damage.

“In light of the cost of the milfoil program, the OBWB believes the province must accept the costly responsibilities for

mitigation and control of this invasive species which we’ve been warning against since 2012, and not pass them to our local property taxpayers,” said Findlater.

Speaking to the other points in the Position Statement, Findlater said the federal government is being called upon to complete the process of empowering its Canada Border Services agents to stop and inspect all incoming watercraft. This is something MPs Dan Albas and Ron Cannan

announced at a special news conference in December in Kelowna, noting that they were hoping the regulations would be in place in time for the 2015 boating season.

The boats are already coming, added Findlater.

“We’re hoping for good news soon, but the sooner the better.”

The Position Statement also repeats the OBWB’s ongoing call for the province to establish permanent inspection stations.

On March 31, the province also came to Kelowna to announce $1.3 million to fight mussels in B.C. (2014 through 2017). The funding in 2015 and 2016 in large part is for three roving inspection stations with six conservation officers.

For a little more funding, Findlater added, the province could install five permanent, mandatory inspection stations along the B.C.-Alberta border—a call that is being repeated by an increasing number of local governments around B.C., residents and now even the B.C. Chamber of Commerce thanks to a push by the Kelowna Chamber.

Alberta currently has 10 permanent and four roving inspection stations, with three mussel sniffing dogs due by July and another two by next season.

The law in B.C. states that it is illegal to transport zebra & quagga mussels in B.C.—dead or alive—and could cost a $100,000 fine. The legislation is there, now enforcement is needed, Findlater added.

news _____________________________________________________________________ WEST KELOWNA

District looks to raise residential sewer and water fees West Kelowna district council gave first two readings to its Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw last week to increase the sewer and water fees for all users effective this year.

The district says the increases are required because of “significant cost pressures.”

As a result, the increase will include: • A 20 per cent hike ($13.20 annually for a single-family home) to West Kelowna sanitary sewer user fees retroactive to April 1.

• A five per cent increases ($14.92 annually for a singlefamily home) to regional district sanitary sewer user fees also retroactive as of April 1.

• An increase of 15 per cent to West Kelowna water, consumption, and maintenance fees effective July 1. This increase will result in single-family home hikes estimated at $70 in the

Westbank water system, $45 in the Pritchard/ West Kelowna Estates/ Sunnyside water system and $52 in the Lakeview water system, according to the district.

Combining the sewer and water rate increases an average single-family home will see an annual increase of between $73 and $98 to its utility bill.

While the sewer rates are recommended to be effective immediately, the water rates are slated to take effect on July 1 to allow users to adjust consumption, if practical to do so.

A comprehensive water rate study will be completed by the district in the fall, which is expected to present more specific recommendations to water rate increases in the future, with some variations between water systems to reflect the varying infrastructure requirements.

But district says increases in user fees are

Stephen Harper A-OK: Not To the editor: Re Stephen Harper A-OK with this Letter Writer, May 29 Capital News.

Thank you Gertrude Sawatzky. I loved your letter; a superb satirical piece if ever there was one. I see the brilliance in your list of Conservative “accomplishments,” each of which in reality marks the hypocrisy, arrogance and failures of the Harper government.

LETTER OF THE WEEK You start off with the myth of “misinformation in the media and general public.” Of course that is a clever allusion to the Conservative government’s massive taxpayer funded propaganda budget, the tax money spent on vanity videos for Pierre Poilievre, and the government TV crew that records every moment of The Prime Minster’s Day. Then you mention Mr. Harper’s training as an economist. Another very crafty and humorous way of reminding us of how, despite his education, he squandered the

surplus he inherited from Paul Martin, then took credit for Liberal policies which saved us from the recession, brought back deficits, imposed tax cuts that seem to benefit few but have imperiled federal finances, and of course how he’s worked hard to move us away from being a diversified economy to one over-reliant on oil; and we all know how well that’s working. Using the term ‘common sense’ to describe this government was without doubt one of the most amusing lines in the letter.

Of course mentioning long past Liberal misdeeds is such a nifty way to call attention to the routine Conservative practice of mentioning the past to distract us from their own recent record.

And then there are the Tory senators. Again, a wonderful moment of mockery in your letter.

Three appointed by Mr. Harper (so much for common sense indeed), one a key Tory fundraiser, each defended for as long as ‘politically’ possible, and then cast adrift. Of course in Mr. Duffy’s case it seems great expense and effort was employed by the Prime Minister’s office to fix the problem, but to no avail.

Whether they’re metal barnacles weighing down architectural wonders, Hallmark Cards with canned commentary making you realize how not unique you are, cheap chocolates wrapped in gaudy foil siphoning off precious cocoa supplies or flowers treated with chemicals suffocating developing nations, the cost of something light always turns out to be a bit too heavy.

Strangely enough, all these hollow gestures are used to laden down one of the last delights we can enjoy for free. The case of the bridge might just be the most unusual example.

If you are in love, and lucky enough to be enjoying the sight of the Seine changing colours under the sunset while on a bridge that’s centuries old, why would you mar that moment by ladening it o s with a clunky, bound to rust remnant of today?

representing a couple’s undying love, were removed from the Pont des Arts in the French capital this week.

Workmen removed the lock-laden bridge panels on Monday, after the weight of romantic tokens proved to be too heavy for the 19th-century structure. Love already hurt the structure last June, when padlocks caused a section of the footbridge over the Seine to collapse.

All this really means to me is that “R+K=O” will instead just have to be carved into a tree somewhere. Take that, nature. You can’t get off that easy.

There are reams of web pages, however, highlighting the fact that this might just be the end of someone’s world. A destructive tradition born in the last decade could apparently end marriages, if one reads the hysteria literally.

To me, it’s a simple reminder that superficial tokens of romance are always a bad idea.

RDCO open houses a Harper’s chance to ‘demand answers’ science dread To the editor: The Regional District of the Central Okanagan is holding an open house at each of the community halls of the outlying, rural communities like Joe Rich, Ellison, North Westside and Wilson’s Landing.

Since RDCO has seen fit to terminate three of the four rural fire chiefs in the past year (two in the past month alone), residents are encouraged to attend, ask questions and demand answers.

John B. Collinson, Kelowna Editor’s note: June 11 Killiney Beach Community Hall at 516 Udell Road June 4 Joe Rich Community Hall at 11481 Highway 33 east June 8 Sunset Ranch Golf Clubhouse at 5101 Upper Booth Road June 9 Ellison Heritage School Community Hall at 4411 Old Vernon Road

Bullying standard practice To the editor: With Canada Day less then a month away are we better off than 10 years ago?

The political scene the last number of years is simple. Harper has run his Conservative government and party with little regard for openness. He, like most people in Parliament, promise transparency so they can get into office but make sure to spin-doctor what is needed to keep them there.

The recent Senate trial is a joke. The result will be the standard: ’Steps will be taken to ensure this will not happen again.’ No jail time or any real punishment for Duffy or Wallin or the other leeches in the Upper Chamber. Best job in Canada—the Senate.

The RCMP sure has had a black eye for the past number of years. No wait, they have given lots of black eyes with excessive force.

With the recent class action suit by female officers it shows that bullying the public is not enough. Might as well go after some of their own.

It is obvious I do not respect the RCMP. I do fear them. Google Const. Geoff Mantler to understand why.

We could do away with this outdated old boys club. Our taxes pay them yet we have no checks and balances. The USA elected sheriff system has its merits. This makes them a bit more accountable.

Nothing is perfect when it comes to law and order. So for the next 10 years my optimistic thoughts will likely clash with a pessimistic attitude and I will be a procrastinator with only one vote.

Gary Scramstad, Kelowna

Accountability from gov’t To the editor: Another May long weekend to enjoy family and friends, camping and parties, gardening and puttering. The promise of summer is around the corner and even now we enjoy the long languishing light as we approach the longest day of the year. Ahhhh that’s the life.

Not so for too many people around the globe. As we approach the Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in July 2015, Canada can play a key

role in ensuring that the Global Financing Facility, which will be housed at the World Bank, is both effective at leveraging funds and ensuring that those funds reach those who need them most.

In the coming months, while Canada negotiates the structure and priorities of the GFF we must urge the government to commit to accountability, equity, and innovative and sustainable financing.

Connie Lebeau, Victoria

Kudos for such wry humour HARAPER FROM A10 of mentioning the Wheat Board, which I suspect many Tories would like to forget.

Hurray to you, and thanks for reminding us. The inanity of getting rid of a Canadian owned and controlled organization that worked on behalf of farmers and had a global presence, and then selling the remains of this proud Canadian organization to Saudi and American interests is beyond compare.

Farmers are now beholden to foreigners and have to take whatever price they offer.

Farmers no longer have to worry about the pesky Canadian Wheat Board, because the Canadian monopoly the Tories hated so much will soon be a foreign owned one.

As for the assault on the CBC, that of course has so much to do with the Conservative obsession with propaganda and the media, but then in the very first paragraph you smartly alluded to the Conservative use of taxpayer money for partisan advertising.

And then we come to our MP. A nice guy, and I suspect he does have some common sense; maybe it’s been muted by years of sitting in the back benches nodding and

clapping. Sadly all I ever read or hear from Mr. Cannan has likely been prepared by the ‘boy’s in short pants’ who run the Prime Minister’s Office. To be fair, on the radio I think I heard trembling in Mr. Cannan’s voice when he defended his government’s sad treatment of Canadian veterans. For a moment I thought he might break ranks and yell “I can’t do this any more, I’m not one of the bobble-heads, I’ll stand up for what’s right, I just can’t say this stuff anymore,” but it didn’t happen.

So, Ms. Sawatzky, thank you for a most clever and witty bit of satire. You didn’t even have to mention the miserable Conservative record on environmental protection, the ideological war on science, research and knowledge, the treatment of our veterans, the excesses of Bill C-51 Anti-terrorism Act, 2015, a parade of Supreme Court defeats, or even our now weakening economy.

You didn’t need to. You gave us a wonderful list of Conservative let-downs, decorated as successes and done with such wryness that for a moment, but just a moment, it made even cynical me (and I’m only 17) think that you were serious. Bravo.

Caroline Hanna, Kelowna

To the editor: In his latest MP Report, Dan Albas remarks on “allegations” the federal government muzzles federal research scientists, saying scientists at the two federal research facilities in our region have never made similar complaints to him.

I think any scientist would agree that a lack of anecdotal evidence expressed in a limited number of conversations doesn’t mean that no evidence exists.

Across time, numerous government scientists have said they’ve been barred from speaking freely about their research.

In one case, scientists at an international polar conference in 2012 were not allowed to speak to the media unless government employees were in attendance to monitor and record what they said.

It’s harder to imagine why Scott Dallimore, a Natural Resources geologist, needed government approval to talk to journalists in 2010 about his study of a flood in Northern Canada almost 13,000 years ago.

The Canadian Science Writers’ Association explains the Harper government introduced media policies in 2006 to control not only scientists, but also journalists. Interviews and often the questions to be asked are now vetted ahead of time, and are sometimes denied outright or unduly delayed. In one instance, a request from The Canadian Press to interview Max Bothwell about his work on algae resulted in 110 pages of emails between 16 government communications officers. The CP article went to press before Bothwell could be interviewed.

Just this month, recently retired Fisheries and Oceans Canada biologist Steve Campana described a research finding that he and his team were not allowed to disclose in Canada.

One of his colleagues presented the work at a U.S. conference, and the story was published by 127 media outlets in 25 countries.

Trying to explain the clamp-down at home, Campana said he didn’t think it was as simple as science conflicting with government policy.

“It’s hard to fathom,” he said. “It seems to be simply a control issue.”

Late last year, more than 800 scientists from 32 countries called on Harper to end “burdensome restrictions on scientific communication and collaboration faced by Canadian government scientists.” Canada’s leadership in basic research, environmental, health and other public science is in jeopardy, they said.

A new initiative coming to the Okanagan is hoping to get people buzzing about the topic of food and where it comes from.

FarmFolk CityFolk has partnered with Slow Food Thompson and the Okanagan College culinary arts program to start up a biannual program called FoodFlicks.

FoodFlicks will build an evening around a documentary about a certain part of the food industry and food and drink from that industry.

“Try & Buy”

program

The first event will take place June 10 at the Okanagan College theatre and will feature the documentary Queen of the Sun: What are Bees Telling Us? Jennifer Vincent, Okanagan events manager for FarmFolk CityFolk, explained the film is about bees, pollination and the bee colony situation around the world.

Vincent believe it’s a great topic for the first FoodFlicks evening as there are a lot of beekeepers in the Okanagan and such a large portion of the food industry involves bees.

Bees will be the focus of discussion at an upcoming FoodFlicks documentary presentation at the Okanagan College theatre on June 10.

“I think on the one hand it’s a very enjoyable evening out with an educational outcome,” Vincent said.

“On the other side, it’s really bringing some insight into the greater issues that are impacting our food

system—bringing it to a very relatable, very comfortable environment.

“It’s not sensationalist and it’s not overwhelming.

“We look at the situation and see what we can do locally to help,

Intelligence, integrity, initiative and intuition.

Those are the four main traits KF Aerospace CFO and director of finance Meryle Corbett believes people need to succeed in business.

Corbett has more than 30 years of business experience, and during that time has been part of many unique projects and successes.

She began her career as a Certified Management Accountant in the Albertan oil fields in the 1980s and spent 12 years there, working her way up the corporate chain from running financial statements to marketing and accounting, and finally acquisitions and corporate planning.

With all of her promotions and as high as she rose within the industry, it’s clear Corbett never ran into a ‘glass ceiling’ despite working in a maledominated field.

“Even though there are some people who

right team together to do it.”

Those are the types of people Corbett recommends identifying early on in your career, and adds it’s important to stand out to them as the person who deserves the promotion.

Corbett’s method for being that person is quite simple; always be 10 per cent ahead of everyone else.

That method revolves around work ethic, as Corbett noted throughout her career she has always worked more than standard seven or eight hour days.

Corbett’s work ethic has not only paid off in promotions, but also in some fantastic work experiences, such as working for SunRype (where she spent 15 years between the oil fields and her current position with KF Aerospace) as part of a negotiations team on a joint operation with a winery in Beijing, and getting to be part of a national board that merged three

“I always looked around for those kind of people who thought it’s about the job, not where you came from, the colour of your skin or if you’re male or female. It’s about how are we going to make this goal, and how are we going to pull the

accounting designations (Certified General Accountants, Chartered Accountants, and Certified Management Accountants) into just the Chartered Professional Accountants.

Corbett’s time at SunRype was the beginning of her career in the Okanagan. She worked in many different areas during her time there, and believes varied experiences go a long way in helping a career in business.

“Each job and each role expands the breadth of kinds of opportunities that are there for learning, and it’s really about having the enthusiasm and curious mind to try to find out more about those things,” she explained.

After her decade and a half at SunRype, Corbett moved into a position with KF Aerospace, where she is now in charge of accounting and is part of an 11-member leadership team that goes over contracts and new initiatives, amongst other things.

Corbett’s decades of experience and success have given her insight into the business world, and she offers advice to

Meryle Corbett is the CFO and director of finance for KF Aerospace. other young women who are starting out in their various industries.

Her advice is built around the four ‘I’s; intelligence, integrity, initiative and intuition.

The intelligence portion is about having the technical skill for what you want to do.

Corbett advises getting post-secondary training to facilitate that.

Integrity is something that has served her well in business, as she notes there are many times she has encountered moral obstacles and taken the high road. Sticking to her values hasn’t failed her yet.

Initiative returns to the strategy of being 10 per cent ahead of everyone else.

Intuition revolves around understanding people and listening to that little voice that is telling you what to do.

In addition to the four ‘I’s, networking is a very valuable business tool. Corbett noted she checks in with her contacts at least once every year and often introduces them to each other if she believes they can benefit from it.

In return they often do

Falcons set for season takeoff whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

With 15 wins in 54 games, the 2014 season didn’t go quite as planned for Sam Murphy and his Kelowna Falcons’ teammates.

But it wasn’t nearly enough to deter the 21-year-old left-handed pitcher from returning to the Okanagan for another summer of West Coast League baseball.

Between the eyecatching surroundings, a dedicated returning coaching staff and the prospects of a new season with a familiar organization, Murphy didn’t pause for thought when he was asked to return.

“The town, the people, it’s a gorgeous setting and you get to play some summer ball in a scenic area, so to me it was a no-brainer,” said Murphy, a junior at University of Nebraska-Omaha, who was Kelowna’s pitcher of the year last season.

“Especially with (coaches) Billy (Clontz) and Dylan (Jones) coming back, kind of the core of the team, they’re two young guys who are hungry to win and develop young players.

“I definitely see that,” added Murphy, “and I hope these other guys do this year, too.”

Murphy is one of four returning players who will play under the guidance of head coach Billy Clontz for the second straight summer.

A native of Corvallis, Ore., Clontz has plenty of WCL experience and success having won three league championships as a player or coach with the Corvallis Knights.

That’s why last season’s struggles in Kelowna

came as a bit of a shock to the system for Clontz, whose 2014 team was riddled with injuries and player departures almost from opening week.

With a roller coaster year under his belt, Clontz feels better prepared for his second tour of duty with the Falcons.

“There’s more of a sense of calm this year, just knowing more of what to expect,” said Clontz, 29. “It’s nice to be back, very excited and just a chance to reboot, you know off the season we had last year.

“We ended last year with only 13 guys on roster, and no one likes winning 15 games.

That’s issue No.1, getting better.”

With that in mind, Clontz and Falcons’ GM Mark Nonis took a different approach in putting together this season’s roster, recruiting a generally older club, with a solid compliment of experienced, fourthyear players.

Clontz is particularly optimistic about the pitching staff which will feature a trio of Canadian-born UBC Thunderbirds—Alex Webb, Curtis Taylor and Tyler Gillies.

“That’s what this league is really about is how well you can pitch, because you can score nine runs a game but give up 10, it doesn’t do anyone any good,” Clontz said. “So we’re going to lean heavily on our arms, and it’ll also be nice to see these bats that produced all year for their spring clubs.”

From team management’s perspective, putting a winning and entertaining club on the field for the fans remains the primary

Based on last couple of seasons, GM Mark Nonis knows the best-laid plans don’t always come to fruition.

But it won’t stop the Falcons from doing everything they can to deliver a quality product.

“Our focus again was to go after quality players and it seems on paper we’ve done that,” Nonis

said. “After my last two seasons, I’ve learned not to have too many expectations, not to get too high or too low.

You bring guys together from all over North America and hope they can mesh as a team and have a good summer of baseball.”

The Falcons open their 2015 West Coast League season this weekend in

Victoria with a threegame series beginning tonight against the Harbourcats.

The team’s traditional free home opener goes next Tuesday night at Elks Stadium against the Yakima Valley Pippins.

First pitch is 6:35 p.m.

With the departures of key veterans Robbie Yochim, Dexter Janke, Ron Mwamba, Zac Ironstand and Eli Manu from last year’s squad, Shane Beatty had his work cut out landing some qualified reinforcements during the off-season Based on this week’s signing of 31 new recruits, the Okanagan Sun head coach is confident his club has addressed most of its needs for the 2015 BCFC season.

“We’ve added a lot of athleticism,” said Beatty, who conducted his third Sun spring camp last weekend with close to 100 players on hand.

“We’ll have good speed on defense, and some pretty good talent all across the board.

We feel good about the players we’ve signed.”

Beatty said the Sun defensive line could be one the club’s deepest positions this season after the signing of at least four promising recruits, all of whom are 6-foot-4 or taller.

Kent Lawrence, a 6-foot-7, 245-pound D-end comes to the Sun from Reedley College in California. Rutland’s Cory McCoy, Connor Whitney from Winnipeg and Salmon Arm’s Riley Butler could also have an impact along the line, joining returning Sun all-stars Jonas Gering and Michele Vecchio, who is making the shift to nose tackle from the O-line.

“We wanted to make sure we didn’t end up short on the D-line,” said Beatty. “We’ll be very

strong there.”

At linebacker, the Sun has added Curtis Garlough, a 6-foot2 prospect from South Delta Secondary, while the defensive secondary has been bolstered by Kohl Hrycewich from Westsyde in Kamloops and Vernon’s Tye Kitzman.

On offense, the Sun has added 205-pound running back Abdi Nasir Abdi from Moscroft in Vancouver, receivers Jesse Falconer from Grande Prairie, Regina’s Shamar Donaldson—the son of former CFLer Vincent Donaldson, and Zac Kronbauer from Vernon.

A key addition to the offensive line is Ryan Wengelinski, a 6-foot3, 320-pounder from Winnipeg.

At the quarterbacking spot, the Sun had added Keith Zyla from Edmonton and Saskatchewan’s Nick Wenman.

Along with returning pivots Cam Bedore and Josiah Joseph, Beatty said the position will be in good hands.

“We have four guys there that we really like,” Beatty said.

With around 78 players on the roster, the Sun’s main training camp will open July 4.

Okanagan will kick off the BCFC season Saturday, July 25 at the Apple Bowl against the Westshore Rebels. @capnewsports.ca

Wins for TOFC girls The surroundings at McArthur Island last weekend in Kamloops agreed with both the Thompson Okanagan Football Club’s U14 and U13 girls teams.

In B.C. Soccer Premier League action, the U14 TOFC girls defeated Fraser Valley Premier 1-0.

After a scoreless first half, TOFC struck four minutes into the second when Stefanie Young (Kelowna) passed to Yvonne Manwaring (Kamloops) who looked for an opening and shot a perfect ball into the top

left corner of the Fraser Valley goal.

TOFC held off FV the rest of the way for the 1-0.

In U13 action, the TOFC girls made it six wins in the last seven with a 2-0 victory over Fraser Valley FC. The was scoreless until Jessye Large (Kelowna) was fouled in the box and Melina Corrado (Kelowna) blasted her penalty at 64 minutes.

Corrado showed great patience as the Fraser Valley Fans heckled her and despite the pressure

she showed them up.

TOFC put the game away in the 69th with a great run from Sophia Seibel (Kamloops) who drew the Fraser Valley defense to her and left Jessye Large alone to bury her shot.

The TOFC U13 Girls remain in third place ahead of Port Coquitlam Metro Ford by three points with two games remaining in the 2015 season.

The wins move the TOFC Girls closer to ensuring their place in the postseason.

Wenatchee joins BCHL The B.C. Hockey League has returned to Washington.

The Wenatchee Wild will join the BCHL as its 17th franchise starting with the 2015-16 season.

“The BCHL is gaining a strong franchise in the Wenatchee Wild and we value the passion and professionalism they bring to our league,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “The Wild will quickly develop rivalries with our existing franchises and I believe

games.

Head coach Bliss Littler, a native of Minot, N.D., is entering his 22nd year as a junior hockey coach.

As a U.S.-based club, the Wild will be allowed to roster a maximum of four Canadian players.

With the announcement, the Wild becomes the first U.S.-based franchise in the BCHL since the Bellingham Ice Hawks, who operated from 1990 to 1995.

they will be a big draw in opposing buildings.”

The Wild had been a member the North American Hockey League (NAHL) since the 2008-09 season.

Wenatchee had a winning record in each of their seven seasons of existence and this past season had six players on their roster committed to NCAA Div. I programs.

Playing out of Wenatchee’s Town Toyota Center, the team averages about 3,000 fans at home

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

New hall of fame inductees named June 16 The Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame, celebrating its eighth year in operation, will opens its doors to six new members in 2015.

The newest inductees will be introduced at a media conference on Tuesday, June 16 at the Okanagan Heritage Museum on Queensway Avenue.

A Stanley Cup champion, a pair of World Champions, a coach of the year and a pair dedicated to the participation and success

of sports in our area will all be welcomed into the Hall of Fame this year.

The Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame is a branch of the Kelowna Museums Society and honours athletes, coaches, teams, builders and pioneers who have distinguished themselves on the local, national or international sports scene.

Nominations are forwarded from the general public and are scrutinized by a nomination committee, then a selection

committee with the final approval done by the Sports Legacy committee.

Author and columnist Jim Taylor said at the 2009 induction ceremony, “It shouldn’t be easy to get into a Hall of Fame.”

The Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame is dedicated to adhering to that philosophy and each year has a vast array of talented and dedicated individuals to choose from.

The official 2015 induction ceremony will be held in November.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking?

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant.

It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation!

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system

by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted.

Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds.

According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

news _____________________________________________________________________ GUTSY WALK

Fundraiser’s aim to find cure for Crohn’s disease and colitis Kelowna will host the city’s inaugural Gutsy Walk on Sunday, a fundraiser intended to create a future free from Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Crohn’s and colitis are lifelong diseases that result in unrelenting pain, urgent bathroom visits, frequent hospital stays and multiple surgeries.

Many here in the Central Okanagan live with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, so it’s likely someone you know is affected by these painful and often stigmatizing diseases.

In its 20th year, the Gutsy Walk is the largest single-day fundraiser for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, the only national, volunteer-based charity focused on finding the cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and improving

the lives of children and adults affected by these diseases.

“What began in 1994 with just a handful of locations has grown into a national event,” said Har Grover, chair of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.

“One in every 150 Canadians lives with Crohn’s and/or colitis, a rate that ranks in the highest, worldwide.”

Most alarmingly, Canadian children under 10 are the fastest growing demographic in the world—the rates have almost doubled since 1995.”

The Kelowna Gutsy Walk is represented by local honourary event chair Samantha Berger.

Berger’s life changed forever when she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 19.

After months of illness

and pain, severe weight loss, repeated doctor visits, trips to emergency, hospital stays, and a multitude of tests, the diagnosis was finally confirmed.

“October 6, 2013, my father’s birthday,” recalled Samantha, “a date I’ll never forget. It’s hard to imagine a life time with this disease. That is why I want to do whatever I can to help find cures, not only for myself but so that no one else has to suffer the way I do.”

The Kelowna volunteer chapter of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada works throughout the year to educate the community about Crohn’s and colitis and help raise funds for research.

Donna Gallagher, local chapter president and a long-time Crohn’s sufferer herself, says “these diseases are

genetic; we must find a cure to save our children and grandchildren from potentially suffering the

same fate we have”.

“Walk with us (Sunday) and raise funds in support of the nearly 250,000

south plaza location.

To register online go to www.gutsywalk.ca or call 250-764-2571.

news _____________________________________________________________________

Lessons from our fathers catch up to us in time There is some truth to the adage, “The apple does not fall far from the tree,” the assumption being that genetics tends to run through a family tree lineage.

For some, the analogy is a compliment, for others it’s a curse.

While I share mixed feelings regarding significant members of my direct spawn stream, most of them I’m pretty proud or humbled by.

Granted my family tree is also filled with a few nut, monkey or puzzle trees and (based on my

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE stature), perhaps some shrubbery. Regardless, I digress.

A few days ago while sorting through yet another box of ‘junk’ in my shed, I discovered a weathered scrapbook.

Further investigation revealed it was my father’s archives from his political career between 1969 and

1974.

Ironically the gem of ads and news clippings has been tucked away in that box, directly under my nose, since I moved it from mom’s house some 20 years ago—two years before I first was elected to municipal office.

Not only is it a delightful historical insight to election battles of the day, it’s also an eye-opener on a personal level.

Clearly there was

more osmoses going on than I realized when as a 14-year old I watched my dad first elected to Kelowna city council.

Like most young teens, I was more interested in hockey and girls (and not particularly in that order) than I was what was happening in municipal politics.

As mentioned in past columns, my dad and I were not particularly close when I was young and sadly he died before I grew up enough to give him a fair shake.

But clearly I was

taking in more lessons and philosophies than I thought. When I read some of his comments, slogans etc. from his time running for two terms on council, and one term for the school district, it is eerily familiar.

So were some of the circumstances he faced.

Dad officially entered the local municipal election fray Nov.14, 1969, walking into a nasty battle which included a slate, couple of returning councilors, and some newbies, which included my dad.

As Dick Parkinson was retiring as mayor, alderman Bert Roth opted to give up his cozy seat and seek the mayor’s sceptre.

Standing in the way was former two-time councilor Dave Chapman (yes of Chapman Van Lines fame), who had lost his bid for a third term in 1967 by just two votes.

Roth was backed by a slate of rookie aldermanic hopefuls known as The Kelowna Citizen’s Association which included Gwen Holland, Bill Kane and Bud Mooney.

Incumbent aldermen Ernie Winter and R.J. Wilkinson filled out the competing roster with dear old dad the only new face on his own.

Dad’s first poster stated the obvious: Vote for Action, vote Syd Hodge for Alderman—Your Independent Candidate.

There are pages and pages of articles on the debates, the key issues such as whether to continue with Regatta (a decade before the two riots) whether to rebuild the Regatta facility (burnt to the ground the year before), pollution of Okanagan Lake, whether or not to build the Parkinson Recreation Centre, and should the city hire a city manager.

One article, however, fully snagged my attention. It was dad’s official candidate statement in the Capital News. Some of it I must repeat here: “Let’s cut out the politics and get down to brass tacks.

Everyone is in favour of better city services, facilities for senior citizens and youth; and in favour of recreation! Everyone is against pollution and higher taxes. Everyone is in favour of city planning for the other fellow but complete freedom for himself,” he opened.

Other gems include: “Our city staff for the most part appear to be dedicated proficient men, but I firmly believe their efforts should be co-ordinated by a new

executive officer— call him city manager or what you will. The name is not important.

Council should spend more time on policies not pot holes, listening to the public they are supposed to represent, and formulating a consistent, stable, policy that the manager will put into effect.

“Advisory committees should be just that— advisory. Council should have the opinion of a committee and city staff, listen to the public, and then make a decision.

Council should keep the public fully informed of its doings. Council members are human and when a real problem occurs, or a mistake is made, it is the whole council’s mistake.

Why ignore problems or hide mistakes—they don’t go away.

“The only council which never makes mistakes is the council that never makes a decision.

“I feel there are too many large, slow committees too many committees investigating committees, too many high priced outside consultants [sound familiar?] and not enough communication between city council and the citizens.

“If you elect me I will be one voice only, but I intend to be a constructive, sensible voice. Throughout this campaign I have remained completely independent politically and financially, and if elected dedicate myself to being a good alderman for the whole city of Kelowna.

“I will cooperate with the other councillors and with the mayor, whether it be Chapman or Roth, but if I think the mayor and or the majority of council are wrong I will say so in open council.”

Dad finished third in the race joining Roth, Kane, Holland, Mooney, Winter and Wilkinson on city council.

And the rest is history.

Thanks Dad. You set a good path.

Flower Power tour gardens should be in colourful bloom GWEN STEELE This year, the Flower Power Garden Tour will take place Saturday, June 13.

Now that we have had good, soaking rains, gardens are beginning to look lush.

With spring being hot, dry and arriving three weeks early, plants not normally blooming during the garden tour will be in full flower.

The Okanagan Xeriscape Association is delighted to have been asked to put the unH2O Xeriscape Garden on the tour to fill in for a garden that was decimated by deer and winter damage.

On Monday, I joined three hardy volunteers to add annuals to fill some bare spots in the unH2O Garden.

The rainstorm began as we arrived and continued through Tuesday night.

Although not the pleasant evening we anticipated, it was a perfect time to plant.

The soil was dry so we could walk on it without compacting it. Holes and plants were soaked and watered again after planting.

Then Mother Nature obliged with very cool temperatures and over a half inch of rain.

A return to high temperatures is forecast for the weekend so plants should put on a burst of growth and blooms for the tour.

This year the tour includes gardens in the Mission and downtown Kelowna. Three are at heritage homes.

The one on Marshall Street was my grandparents’ home during my childhood.

Granny was an avid gardener so the landscape was always beautiful.

When the house sold, the gardens deteriorated so badly that the current owners had to remove some of the weedy soil.

The new gardens are lovely. I know Granny would be very happy to see the restoration.

The heritage walnut tree we played around has survived. It was purchased in 1952 from Gellatly Nut Farm in West Kelowna.

Gardens range from small city lots to estatesized properties.

Examples of vegetable gardens vary from small planters to the garden that supplies organic vegetables, and edible flowers to the Sunset Organic Bistro at Summerhill Pyramid Winery.

There are gardens designed and cared for by professionals but most were made and are cared for by the homeowners.

For the second year in a row, the self-guided tour is a fundraiser for the Growing Chefs!

Okanagan project, a classroom gardening and cooking program in Kelowna’s elementary schools.

This program has been highly successful in Vancouver and was piloted in 2013 with 30 children at Glenmore Elementary.

This year, thanks to donations, it has expanded to include 180 children in three schools.

Over the course of three months, chef volunteers visit the classroom every two weeks, helping students tend to indoor vegetable gardens.

The chefs engage the students in games, lessons and activities focused on plant growth, local and urban agriculture, sustainability and nutrition.

Students harvest their

vegetables and chefs teach them to cook

healthy, delicious meals with what they have

grown.

Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More...

W. GIFFORD-JONES, MD

Seventeen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs (CLD’s). Instead, knowing the research on vitamin C and lysine, as well as the side-effects of CLD’s, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

Medi-C Plus™, with vitamin C and lysine, is available at health food stores and select natural pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal.

I do not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine and I’m glad I did!

Under the light of a full moon, a ranger led us across an arroyo and into a canyon where miners camped more than a century ago. The crunch of boots on gravel was the only sound as our hardy band of visitors headed into the badlands of Death Valley National Park.

No streetlight or passing headlights pierced the darkness. The Milky Way stretched over our heads in a pointillist vision of infinity. Moon shadows outlined the strange hills and crevasses around us. Just as I was wondering what animal life might lurk in this austere setting, the ranger offered to turn on her ultraviolet light to lure scorpions out of their hiding places.

Rarely have so many visited a place with such an uninviting name as Death Valley. Situated in eastern California near the border with Nevada 120 miles northwest of Las Vegas, it is so otherworldly that George Lucas filmed some of his Star Wars scenes there. Remote, weird and a dry 60 to 70 F in February, Death Valley offers a bracing midwinter contrast to the Northeast.

Even without the benefit of moonlight, the landscape awes.

On an afternoon walk into the vast salt flats that look west to Tucki Mountain, I felt a silence as immense as any on Earth. Nothing interrupted that stillness—not buzzing fly or flapping bird, not rumbling motor or ringing cellphone.

And at Badwater Basin, crusting salt crystals grew out of cracks in the ground like a glittering fractal painting. The salt seemed to bloom like coral in a sea from which all the water had been drained.

Death Valley is a place of extremes—the hottest, driest, lowest place in North America—and one of the most inhospitable places I’ve visited.

Hikers on the Golden Canyon trail in Death Valley National Park, Calif.

The beauty of Death Valley The names of its natural attractions—Dante’s View, Devil’s Cornfield—evoke hellish images.

Vast swaths of the park, the largest in the lower 48, are beyond reach of cellphone service. Several of its prime sites can be reached only by fourwheel-drive vehicles over washboard gravel. It is the only place I’ve ever

seen a “urine chart” in a public restroom, with a color-coded index to the stages of dehydration.

And yet.

There are comfortable oases: The Furnace Creek Resort, with its luxurious inn, favored by Hollywood glitterati, and its moderately priced ranch occupying an area that once

housed mine workers, is the most popular of three settlements to stay overnight. At the Furnace Creek Ranch, the pool is warmed by hot springs. I swam beneath palm trees as the setting sun painted the Funeral Mountains pink and orange.

And the human history of the park, from its miners and monopolists to

con men and criminals, is fascinating.

The Timbisha Shoshone were the desert valley’s first inhabitants; they are partners with the park service in managing the federal lands, and have a year-round village at Furnace Creek.

The park also provides an unusual vantage from which to consider global warming: As the Earth gets hotter, what happens to the Earth’s hottest place? The canaries in the coal mine may be the tiny pupfish, found in only a handful of warm, salty streams in the park, the last remnants of a previous geologic era’s lake. The fish may not be able to breed if the temperature of their waterways gets any higher, or to survive in sufficient numbers if the water evaporates before they mature.

Death Valley became a national monument in 1933, through the efforts of the Pacific Coast Borax Co. The company built the Furnace Creek Inn, a masterpiece of Spanish mission architecture made from stucco and local stone, as a tourist destination after its local mines had closed. The inn, which opened in 1927, was envisioned as a way to continue to use the narrow-gauge railroad the company had built to transport the mineral to the coast.

To promote the inn—and gain public support for the area’s designation as a national park— the company also sponsored “Death Valley Days,” a radio and, later, television series about the Old West.

Its most famous host was Ronald Reagan.

I’d never really thought much about borax, a white crystal that was found on the surface at some spots in the valley, before my trip. But it was the white gold of the desert.

Its discovery in the 1880s brought miners and mine owners to the region. More than a century later, it is still used in laundry and hand soaps, as well as toothpaste, and is

DEATH VALLEY FROM A28 an ingredient in flame retardants, ceramics and insecticides.

That famous brand, Twenty Mule Team Borax—still sold in supermarkets—originated near Furnace Creek.

At the Harmony Borax Works, now preserved, you can see the old wagons that made the 165-mile, 10-day trip over the mountains to the railhead at Mojave, pulled by those massive beasts. Not preserved are the tents in which some of the Chinese laborers lived while mining and starting the refining process. The mine office, the oldest building in the park, was relocated to the Furnace Creek Ranch, where it houses the Borax Museum.

The park service has established several drives and hikes to bring visitors close to the bizarre geology of the region.

A ranger said she had once used the analogy that the Grand Canyon’s sedimentary layers were like a pack of different colored sticks of gum, stacked. At Death Valley, all those different colored pieces of gum have been chewed up together and then flattened out.

At places like Artist’s Palette, reached via an undulating one-way drive through Candyland-like

hills, different minerals reaching the surface have colored the hills pink, green, orange and yellow.

Mosaic Canyon looks as its name implies. And you can walk on beach-like sand dunes at Mesquite Flats.

From North America’s lowest spot, Badwater Basin at 282 feet below sea level, it’s possible to see one of its highest, the 11,043-foot Telescope Peak. At those elevations, snow precautions are advised.

The best months of the year to visit are December through March, when the average high temperatures range from the mid-60s to 90 degrees. From May through September, the average highs are in the three digits; the thermometer reached 129 in June 2013.

June is the month the Furnace Creek Golf Course traditionally hosts the Heatstroke Open.

Distances between the scenic highlights are long, and roadside services are available only at a few locations, so fill up on gas and carry water and snacks with you.

Our favorite hike was up Golden Canyon to a natural red-wall amphitheater, then down through Gower Gulch. Along the way, we ascended partway up a towering cliff face,

GreyStoke Photography

called Manly Beacon, from which we could look out over the badlands to the huge salt pan on the valley floor.

For sheer entertainment, though, a visit to Scotty’s Castle is worth the 53-mile drive from Furnace Creek.

The beautiful Spanish revival mansion is an engineer’s dream—a selfsustaining luxury home in the absolute middle of nowhere.

It was neither owned nor built by Scotty— Walter Scott, a con man who today would be scorned and prosecuted for his fraudulent scheme

to attract investors in a fake gold mine. Rather, it was built by one of those investors, an abstemious, teetotaling Midwestern life insurance magnate, Albert Johnson.

When Johnson, who had overcome a nearly paralyzing back injury in his 20s, insisted on visiting the gold mine with Scotty, a sham gunfight set up to thwart his inspection backfired— one of the poseurs was accidentally shot—and Johnson realized he’d been duped.

Orchard Ford in Kelowna recently held a two-day garage sale to raise money for the Central Okanagan Association for Cardiac Health (COACH), an event held in memory of the dealership’s former owner, Norm Assam, who passed away last December. Dan Assam, the current owner and son of Norm, came together with the employees of Orchard Ford to pull off this event in support of COACH, a non-profit society dedicated to reducing cardiovascular risk factors and enhancing the health of individuals in the Central Okanagan. For the garage sale, employees sold auto parts, computers, tires, office furnishings and held a BBQ by donation. In addition, $100 from every vehicle sold on April 24 and 25 was contributed towards the grand total donation of $3,547.

FUNDRAISER WALK

Raising awareness about arthritis Kelowna will be one of 25 communities across Canada to host a Walk To Fight Arthritis fundraiser

on Sunday.

The 6th annual event, which offers participants the chance to walk a one

or five kilometre route will start from the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 421 Cawston Ave., in downtown Kelowna.

Among the invited dignitaries on hand to participate as well will be local MP Ron Cannan and MLA Steven Thomson, joined by local residents Megan Smaha, Rachael Kimmola and Kathy Hutton, all three of whom have been talked publicly about how they’ve dealt with arthritis in their lives.

The walk starts with registration opening at 8:45 a.m., and the walk kicking off at about 10 a.m.

The concept behind the walk is to raise

awareness about the impact of arthritis on people’s lives, and to raise funds for promising research, educational resources, local programs, and care and support for Canadians with arthritis wherever they live.

Arthritis affects over 4.6 million Canadian adults and children. Not only does it dramatically affect an individual’s quality of life, arthritis is a leading cause of disability, costing the country’s economy an estimated $33 billion each year.

Since its inception, the Walk to Fight Arthritis has raised $6.8 million for arthritis programs and research.

Please join us for this great family fun event supporting the number one cancer for men.

All proceeds will benefit prostate cancer support, research and equipment in the Okanagan.

Kelowna Secondary School Home of the Owls Q & A With Kelowna Secondary School’s Valedictorian This year the honour of Valedictorian was bestowed on two extraordinary Kelowna Secondary students, Nicole Johnston, and Alexander MacGillivray.

School Valedictorians are chosen on overall academic merit and outstanding contribution to the school.

While MacGillivray was difficult to track down (he’s a busy young man!), Censor This! caught up with Nicole Johnston to ask a few questions about her experience at Kelowna Secondary School, and to share a little bit about her philosophy on life. Here’s the Q & A….

Censor This!: Did you complete your whole high school career at KSS?

Community Connection June 2015

Nicole: My plan after graduation is to go to the University of Ottawa to study International Development and Globalization, and…after that, work for a charity or a government organization that deals with international aid or international development….My overall goal would be to work for the United Nations, but that’s pretty far down the road. So, a second language has been super important for me, because when I was on an exchange [in Austria] I learned German fluently, and I have also taken French all throughout my school career…Ottawa is a bilingual school, and to work for the government or to work with the UN, and if you want to advance, you have to be fluent in French and English, so having these three languages has really given me an international perspective on things when I’m thinking about picking out a career choice, and it has helped me with getting into university.

Censor This!: What you say has been your most valuable experience at KSS?

Nicole: I did grades 10 and 11 here and then I did one year in Austria—I was on a youth exchange there, and now I’m back for my Grade 12 year.

Nicole: I think my most valuable experience has been taking part in the Me to We Club. We have students Censor This!: How would you from all over the school, all different characterize your experience her at areas, all grades as well, and being KSS? part of that club and having had a leadership role…has really shown me Nicole: I would definitely say very my potential…. Although we do have full. I’ve done a lot of things during my teachers supporting us, most of our time at KSS. From the time I started initiatives are student-run, so we do have in Grade 10, I decided I wanted to try that freedom of deciding whether this is to do everything, so I’ve been really something we’re passionate about, this is involved with the Music Department, “KSS Valedictorians Nicole Johnston and Alex MacGillivray.” a problem we see in the world, and this is the Theatre Department, with a lot how we’re going to combat it, this is how we’re going to fix it. Being of different volunteer clubs here at KSS, the Me to We and Interact able to plan and mobilize the school to support our initiatives has been Clubs. I’ve been very involved with Rec Leadership, too, and I’ve such a great opportunity…. taken some other classes like Journalism...and I’ve really just tried to be involved in the school every way that I could.

Censor This!: What ideas/suggestions/advice would you like to impart to other students?

Censor This!: Why? Nicole: Just enjoy the every day journey, not just the big events Nicole: I really just wanted to do what I wanted and to explore like graduation and prom. High school wasn’t built around these possibilities, to see what my potential is, and figure out what I wanted momentous days; it has been all of the things that happened in to do for the rest of my life. So, I figured I may as well try everything between. The start of Grade 10 was something amazing, the start once. It led to making some of my best friends in the different classes of Grade 12 was something amazing, but the real life at KSS is what and clubs, and I’ve figured out what I’m passionate about. happened between those two beginnings, and I think that’s really important to remember for the rest of our lives. You can enjoy every Censor This!: How important is a balance of academic and extra- day, and you can make the most of every day. curricular pursuits in high school?

Censor This!: Is there anything else you’d like to add about your high Nicole: I think the balance is really important. Academics give you school experience? the knowledge base that get you into university and help you to know what you’re going to study in the future; the extra-curricular activities Nicole: High school is what you make of it. If you take advantage of help you to find your passions and have some fun at high school, too. every opportunity…you can have an amazing time, and I think we’re really fortunate at KSS in that there is just so much available to us.

How to Lose Loneliness

By Breanne Hotzon

Loneliness is a strange feeling that everybody has at least once in their life. We may not really be alone but that awful feeling still manages to overtake us at certain moments.

Even though it can seem inevitable, feeling lonely is normal. It’s important to understand that you’re not facing loneliness alone. If you truly do feel isolated in this world, here are a few steps that you can take to help yourself break out of this feeling: Take the time to think about all the people you know. If you have somebody in your family or a friend that you can trust, you should try reaching out to them for support. If you have somebody there for you, you won’t feel as alone. Share your feelings with them. This can help you understand your situation better, and most likely whomever you’re talking to will reassure you that you’re not alone and will provide extra help in getting you out of this state of mind. If you truly have nobody, or you just have trouble connecting with those around you, counseling is always a good option to consider.

Keep yourself busy! Being in clubs or sports, going to events in your community, or having a job can get your social life moving. You’ll find people with similar interests, and being in a social environment will allow you to be more talkative and outgoing than you would be just sitting alone at home. When in social situations, it may seem difficult, but taking the initiative is one of the best things that you can do. Who knows, maybe the other people around you also feeling lonely and are too shy to approach you. Both of you would be relieved to start a conversation and begin to connect. Also, remember to smile and be friendly to others. If you are stuck thinking that you are alone and miserable, others may believe that you are avoiding social interaction and they may avoid you.

Perhaps you feel lonely because of a past breakup with somebody. Maybe you miss being and feeling so close to someone.

Sometimes in dating relationships, we tend to spend less time with our family and friends.

After your breakup, you can feel very alone because you are used to spending a lot of your time with that one person. If you try to reach out to your friends and family to bring them closer, you’ll feel that happiness of being special and important to somebody once again.

Loneliness can be hard to shake, but it’s not impossible. Try reaching out to others, even if it is just one person. That one person can make the difference. Also, push yourself to keep busy. Whether it’s being part of a team or club, going out to social events and activities in your community, or getting to know your coworkers, you can begin to branch out and meet new people. Lastly, if your feeling of loneliness is coming from a recent breakup, bring your friends and family closer to you to fill the emptiness you’re feeling. Following these steps, you can get closer to losing loneliness. Remember, you’re not alone in this battle.

There is a really dedicated staff, there are so many possibilities, teachers are always thinking of ways to build new possibilities for their students…

Censor This!: Any regrets?

Nicole: I’ve made a few mistakes, but adolescence is the time when you’re allowed to make mistakes. You learn so much from making mistakes now. It makes it easier in the future.

KSS Raises More than $45,000 for Cancer

By Ilana Prokop, News writer

Every year at KSS a special event that touches my peoples lives takes place.

We all have been affected by cancer in some way, which makes this event so special. Cancer week raises thousands of dollars that all goes towards the BC Cancer Foundation to help treat cancer patients right here in Kelowna. Many students and teachers take part in these

events, either by donating, raising money, or participating.

This year we hand events like Pie your Teacher, Drive Thru Breakfast, the Alumni Basketball game, the KSS Golf Tournament, and of course, Head Shaving. This year over 20 students raised money and shaved their heads.

As of Monday, June 1st, KSS had raised over $45,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation.

Rec. Leadership would like to thank all of the brave students for shaving or cutting their hair, and everyone who donated money or participated at any of these events, your support helps make this week so successful.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Visit the Honda Fit gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

A Fitting moniker for this Honda I’m not saying there is anything fundamentally wrong with this setup. It’s just not my first choice.

That said, it’s not a deal breaker.

Bluetooth comes standard on all models; so do power windows. And of course, the aforementioned Magic Seats, which allow you to configure the cabin in ways that will astonish you.

On the road, the Fit also shines.

A roomy cabin, combined with enhanced NVH properties so road noises are kept at bay make for a serene environment.

Its electric power-assisted rack and pinion steering (EPS) move the Fit in and out of tight spots with ease and little effort. Though at highway speeds, you still feel connected to the car.

Its charm extends much further than its practical characteristics. The Fit is a joy to drive and has flair in the looks department. Overall, the Fit fits well with me and I’m very happy about that.

An added bonus is that the bumper/trunk isn’t particularly high off the ground. So if you have trouble lifting larger or heavier items up, this will be a welcome perk.

Though my road bicycle isn’t particularly heavy, it is awkward. But when placing it inside the Fit, its wide trunk opening, low seats and fold flat features got a 10/10 in my books.

Ford is opening its portfolio of electrified vehicle technology patents to competitive automakers to accelerate industry-wide research and development of electrified vehicles.

In 2014, Ford filed for 400-plus electrified vehicle patents—more than 20 per cent of the total patents the company applied for last year.

In total, Ford has more than 650 electrified vehicle patents and approximately 1,000 pending patent applications on electrified vehicle technologies.

Ford believes sharing its patented technologies will promote faster development of future inventions as all automakers look toward greater opportunities.

Acura ‘gateway’ car gets refreshed

By Neil Moore ‘Gateway’ vehicles are big business, and most luxury marques offer them to lure new buyers—particularly young‘uns—into the family.

A little less size, power, leather, wood, and intangibles like “craftsmanship” can help get you into a pedigree’d brand, raising the question as to whether or not an entry model lives up to the brand’s pedigree.

Such a criticism has been leveled against Acura’s ILX, unveiled in 2012 to replace the much more Civic-ey CSX. But you do get something more than just an upscale nameplate for the added dough of the ILX. It starts with exterior styling that is more sophisticated with a sleeker silhouette, longer bonnet and subtle decklid spoiler. The look is less ‘boy racer’ and more grown up.

Inside too, there’s far less hard plastic than in the Civic. I wouldn’t go so far to suggest the ILX passenger cabin is luxury class, but it’s a step up from Honda’s.

The recently introduced 2016 model (starting at $29,490) brings with it a mid-cycle refresh, and some enhancements to the ILX

trunk spoiler and 18-inch machined alloys to replace the standard 17s.

What’s Best: Acura has dropped the anemic 2.0-litre engine in favour of the peppy 2.4-litre unit for all models What’s Worst: Ride is somewhat stiff, but will likely be more forgiving in lower trim with 17-inch wheels and higher sidewall tires What’s Interesting: Eightspeed, dual-clutch automatic offers rapid-fire shifting.

Slide the lever into “S” and this unit’s rapid-fire shifts will not disappoint.

CONTRIBUTED

Its longevity is a tribute to the music of ABBA, featuring hits such as “Mamma Mia,” “Dancing Queen,” “Fernando,” and “Waterloo” to “Does Your Mother Know,” “S.O.S.,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Voulez Vous” and “Knowing Me Knowing You.” For tickets, charge by phone at 250762-5050 or online at selectyourtickets.com.

ABRA CADABRA brings their tribute show to the music of ABBA to Kelowna Community Theatre on June 25.

Entertainment

IN THE LOOP Have you always wanted to view original works of art by the Group of Seven but never had the chance?

Kelowna residents will have the rare opportunity to see 40 paintings by prominent Canadian historical artists including members of the Group of Seven, as well as Tom Thomson, David Milne, and other artists active in the early to mid-20th century.

A Story of Canadian Art: As Told by the Hart House Art Collection will be on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery until July 19.

Visitors will be thrilled by the extraordinary paintings in the

exhibition, including many works depicting iconic Canadian landscapes along with some stunning portraits, still lifes, and urban scenes.

The time frame the exhibition spans is a significant one, the Great Depression, a time when many Canadians in the 1930s were forced to endure substantial economic hardships and when Canadian artists turned from wilderness landscape material to exploring social issues in their work.

The exhibition provides an interesting look at the history of art in Canada and features an impressive number of women artists, including

Prudence Heward, Lilias Torrance Newton, Paraskeva Clark, Kathleen Morris, and Bess and Yvonne Housser. Works by these women painters have never previously been exhibited in Kelowna.

The exhibition is financially supported by the Museums Assistance Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage. Independent curator Christine Boyanoski has organized the exhibition and has written the text in the beautiful catalogue that accompanies the show.

Ice cream artisan uses freshest ingredients for improved treat I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice Food & Wine cream.

Trails I am screaming for the ice cream artisan JENNIFER Kalayra Angelyys.

SCHELL Who knew that ice cream could get any better?

I have tasted many versions of this favourite frozen treat over my time, but never anything quite as creamy-dreamy as this.

Angelyys is creating this new twist on our favourite addictive indulgence and she is also offering catering services.

What makes her gourmet ice cream and sorbet so special is that it is frozen instantly, using liquid nitrogen allowing all of the flavour and an ultra-rich and creamy texture to be retained.

What I also love is that she uses all of the best ingredients omitting the additives, preservatives, stabilizers and emulsifiers that you will see in most other ice creams.

This ice cream is essentially being created from scratch and Angelyys sources her ingredients locally when possible.

And then there is the exciting smoke show. Liquid nitrogen is added to the base ingredients in the bowl of her Kitchen Aid mixer, creating a super fun smoke show.

She explains: “As a gas, nitrogen is completely harmless. In fact, nearly 80 per cent of the air you’re breathing right now is made of nitrogen.

“And if you’ve ever eaten a steak, or an omelette, or even a handful of trail mix, you’ve consumed nitrogen as part of your diet.”

April 6 - June 20

What an original idea to book an ice cream caterer for your corporate mixer, private party, birthday, wedding, reception, fundraising event or festival.

She makes a huge variety of flavours, including wine and beer, and offers a dairy-free option and can customize as well.

Angelyys is planning to have a Pop-Up Ice Cream Shop at various locations around Kelowna over the summer including at The Wedding Café on Pandosy Street in Kelowna, where they will also have single serve portions available in their freezer for sale throughout the summer.

Check out her website for more information on booking events or where she will be popping up next, icecreamartisan.ca ••• Talk about amazing events, have you heard about Soup Sisters? Book your group of friends, colleagues or book club to make soup for the Kelowna Women’s Shelter and the Overnight Youth Shelter.

His seventh album sees Wesley returning to his natural strengths as a groove-based acoustic troubadour, following heavier electric experiments on his previous two records.

Tracks such as “Beautiful” and “Shake” perfectly recapture the musical feel that established Wesley’s reputation when he first arrived on the scene in the mid-2000s.

Conversely, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and a willingness to apply them, meant there were now unlimited potential in the studio.

This is the first album Wesley has produced on his own since 2007, allowing him to dedicate his time to the creative process.

The track “Fuel To Fire” from his previous album, Ocean Wide, earned him a nomination for Songwriter of the Year at the 2013 West Coast Music Awards.

I wake up every morning and feel so lucky to live in this majestic part of BC. Although I spent a large part of my childhood in the Okanagan, I eventually moved to Alberta where I completed my degrees, worked in the Real Estate industry as well as raised my family. Several years later I was drawn back , doors opened and now I’m able to share the knowledge I gained from my experiences in different real estate markets. I have always had a passion for real estate and I enjoy sharing that with my clients. I am very excited to be able to offer my services as part of the Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty team.
