Canuck Nation alive and well in Okanagan

Roundtable forum hopes to galvanize entrepreneurism

Kathy Michaels

The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society has launched a bold attempt to help harness the entrepreneurial capabilities of Okanagan Valley residents. The society will host a roundtable discussion in September, aimed at bringing together about valley-wide business leaders with existing and aspiring entrepreneurs. The goal of the roundtable will be to reach a consensus on how to take better advantage of the enterpreneurial spirit across the region, from Salmon Arm to Osoyoos, and appoint a task force to develop a three-year action plan to implement those recommendations. The roundtable is the brainchild of Joel Young, a Capital News entrepreneur columnist and founder of the society, that has gained support of local business leaders and municipal officials. As well, the Harvest Group of Companies, based out of Calgary and Lethbridge, has offered its support with a $4,000 grant to help cover the costs of the roundtable session and Frank Lonardelli, president of the capital investment firm, will be the keynote speaker. Lonardelli started up a

Despite the 8-1 drubbing Canucks took in game 3, Kelowna fans are still planning on painting the town red for a victory in Vancouver. Or as the case may actually be; they’re already painting the town, their faces, baked goods, classrooms and, in one extreme case, a house, Canucks blue. Standing apart from the rest, based on size alone, is Lake Country resident Jake Lockhart’s homage to B.C.’s team. In other years his giant blue house may be called an eyesore, but in the last few weeks it’s prompted celebratory outbursts well-worth the gallons of paint and hours of work he invested. “We moved into our house in February, and we were going to do a lot of renovations, so when the Canucks won the President’s Trophy we thought this may be a good opportunity,” he said. So, he and his dad Harley Lockhart loaded up with paint one Sunday afternoon and got to work turning the house into a giant Canuck ad.

“We did a really good job with the logo,” said Jake. “We printed an 8.5 by 11, my dad got out ruler and calculator, plotted out the logo so it would transfer to the garage.” The house has become a bit of a beloved oddity in the neighbourhood and beyond. “We’re getting honks on game day, and people are coming to the house so they can take their photos in front of it,” he said, adding it’s even been written about in Vancouver newspapers and national magazines. That said, the goodwill can only take his pet project so far. “I am married, so it will have to come off at some time,” he said. “But we will see how See Canuck A4 ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

Lonardelli was also instrumental in establishing the Calgary chapter of The Enterpreneurs Organization, a global network of more than 7,500 successful entrepreneurs in 38 countries. At a press conference held on the steps of Kelowna City Hall on Tuesday, company spokesman Ron Beyer spoke of the importance that entrepreneurs can make in bringing positive change to our lives. “Innovation and creativity are what entrepreneurs are all about,” said Beyer, director of investment revenue for the Harvest Group of Companies. “Entrepreneurs set out to solve big problems, to provide a solution to issues, that governments just can’t do.” Interviewed after the press conference, he cited the example of growing economies in countries like China, India and across Asia, where business entrepreneurs are helping to elevate people See Forum A7

Fun in the sun POSITIVE IMPACT… The 6th annual

YMCA Healthy Kids Day, presented by Interior Savings Credit Union, was held last Sunday outside and inside the Kelowna Family Y in Rutland. Perfect weather conditions brought out thousands of Kelowna residents who participated in more than 45 activities, from the Capital News do-dah bird booth to a climbing wall and bouncey castle, geared towards helping them stay active and healthy, as illustrated by the photos on this page. As well, the kids were able to enjoy a free hot dog lunch and entertainment provided by Kiki the Clown, Wentworth Music, Drums Alive and various other dance and fitness demonstrations. “We recognize the positive impact both the Y organization as a whole, and the Healthy Kids Day event, have on encouraging and developing active, healthy families in our community. We are proud to partner with the YMCA and are eager to support their efforts in every way that we can,” said a statement issued Monday by Interior Savings. More than 150 volunteers helped out to make the event possible, added Kelly Howard, director of marketing and events for the Central Okanagan YMCA-YWCA.

OUR LADY OF LOURDES Elementary in West Kelowna is a small school with a big spirit (above) when it comes to supporting the Vancouver Canucks drive for the Stanley Cup. Colin Redisky, owner/operator, holds a customized Canuck logo emblazed fishing lure, designed by Jordan Neufeld and painted by Laura Neufeld.

Jumping on the bandwagon

Kelowna is getting in on the Stanley Cup final public viewing act. Fans who want to congregate to watch game four of the series will be able to join hundreds of others at the Rutland Centennial Hall Wednesday night. The Rutland Park Society, which operates the hall and Rutland Centennial Park, has announced it will set up a big screen in the hall and throw the doors open to anyone who wants to go and watch. There will be no admission charge and the event is being billed as family-friendly. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. and the concession will be open. Game four, to be played in Boston, is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. local time.

brought out the markers, the poster board and glue sticks and went to town decorating.” That effort took place before Monday’s crushing defeat, mind you. But, Catriona said once the shock faded, fans at the Mission rallied. “Just because they live with us doesn’t make them less of fans,” she said.

“Hands up—you’re on candid camera!” Or so could go the line Kelowna Mounties deliver to suspected lawbreakers, thanks to the implementation of some new technology. Const. Steve Holmes announced Monday that six officers from the local detachment have been issued digital video cameras that have been recording their interactions with the public for the past two weeks. Only a select crew of local Mounties have had the technology clipped to their chests or bike helmets but, in short order, it could become an integral part of every police kit, nationwide. “Now (we) have an impartial recording of what’s going on,” said Holmes, adding the cameras will be a great assistance when it comes to officer conduct complaints. Among those who have been working with the cameras that ring in at $300 to $400 apiece is Const. Michael Dunn, who noted, from what he’s seen, it’s a worthwhile investment. “I wish I had this a long time ago,” Dunn said, pointing out footage could be used as evidence in court, if requested by Crown counsel. It even acts as a deterrent to those who want to cause trouble, as they tend to back down when they learn they’re being filmed. “It will give the public an idea of what officers deal with on a daily basis,” Dunn said. While Mounties are lauding the benefits of the new cameras, representatives from the B.C. Civil Liberties Association have said they’re leery because police, in general, “have a bad track record with video footage, especially when it comes to allegations of police brutality.” “In some cases they’ve tried to deliberately hide or destroy footage,” said David Eby, the executive director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. Eby pointed to a 2008 Prince George decision that highlighted an incident when Mounties destroyed or deliberately took steps to avoid preserving video footage adverse to their interest. Most famously, RCMP seized Paul Pritchard’s video of Robert Dziekanski and refused to release it back to him until Pritchard retained a lawyer and threatened to sue. “Police only make video available in circumstances where it’s incriminating, never when police have extended their authority,” he said. Beyond that, Eby added the quality of evidence could even be compromised at the point of contact. “Police officers could turn cameras on and off at will,” he said, adding that the problem is exacerbated by the fact there’s no policy to dictate how the equipment is used. It’s like management is throwing its employees under the bus by not providing them adequate instruction on how to use the technology properly.”

Like all lettuces, Romaine has a very high water content and very few calories (about 10 per cup). Generally, the darker the green, the more vitamins and minerals, so it should be no surprise that Romaine is the most nutritious of all lettuces.

Drumming concept excites students Making a drum teaches kids things don’t just come off a shelf, says Angela Roy of Expression Interactive Performing Arts. The local percussionist worked with the Fat Cat Festival and Springvalley Elementary School to find several thousand dollars in grants that would fund weeks of workshops for the Grade 6 class to build their own drum, learn about drumming in different cultures and ultimately learn to play. “I travelled to Belize to study drumming with the Garifuna,” explained Roy, who has a long history of working on performing arts education programs. She learned how to play the rhythms and teach the students how to build a primero, a tenor drum, establishing connections who could send the mahogany drum bases to her so her pupils could make their own in her workshops. She then spent three two-hour classes helping the students make the drums and another three twohour classes getting them on track to perform. The students at Springvalley Elementary did artwork which was carved into the mahogany bases for them before they attached an African goatskin to the surface using a metal band created by Dave Brown at Vernon Machine and Welding. The students themselves say the drums are quite heavy, though no one is complaining. Learning to play a variety of rhythms—Soca, Punta, Bayano, Merenge— they sing to accompany instruments like the Australian Didgeridoo and West African Djun-djun drum and never stop smiling. “It’s good for their spirit,” says Roy.

Springvalley to provide a backbeat for festival Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

“Where is the love? The love is in the house.” Picture this chant bouncing off the blackboard at Springvalley Elementary School, a thunderous roar of handmade percussion beneath, and a classroom full of enthusiastic Grade 6 drummers getting ready beat down the doors of this weekend’s Fat Cat Festival, and you’ll have a taste what’s to come Friday. The group of finelytuned musicians will take the instruments they’ve spent hours making, under the tutelage of local drummer Angela Roy and Mexican drummer Romario Durrand, and offer the drum roll to usher in another successful year at the festival. “We’re the only school in the Okanagan who get to do this,” said a clearly proud Kate-Lyn Adams,

who has a mask carved in her drum as she likes drama and loves to perform. Needless to say, she’s very excited to take to the stage on Friday and play in the Fat Cat Parade on Saturday. Some 40 floats have been assembled this year, including two from Washington State (Orville and Marysville), and of course the Fat Cat mascot will be on hand, along with Kelowna’s new Ogopogo float. “We just want people to come down and have a great time,” said artistic director Dorothee Birker. “It’s a great family event and we try to make sure our program is fun for everybody.” On that note, Fat Cat has gone global with its Where in the World is Fat Cat? marketing theme. “It’s about accepting people who are different and how everybody

should just have a place in the world,” said Birker. The Japanese Yamabiko Taido Drummers will perform, as will ventriloquist Kellie Haines, whose shows focus on environmental themes and celebrating diversity. Birker said the festival has been trying to book Haines to come up from the Lower Mainland for several years. The performer has written two long-running stage shows—Frogs In Space: Kamilla’s Quest and Rocket Magrau: Space Bird—and released her own CD, Songs From Space. She will be joined by storytellers The Trollsons, Wentworth Music’s own Band Factory, Brazilian Samba Batucada group Funky Loops, and the guitar-playing, singing, dancing game-playing wonder that is PT The Clown.

But people who are true entrepreneurs do so much more than that by bringing their creativity and innovation to our society,” Beyer said.

of pieces had to come into play to make it work.” Best said the 75 participants expected to be invited to the roundtable are more aptly to be called “thought leaders” as opposed to business leaders. “You have to be openminded and objective in this process. We will all

learn things out of this process and if it’s done right, it will lead to a more successful entrepreneur strategy for the valley.” “If you are approached to take part in this roundtable in the weeks ahead, I hope everyone in that position will take the request seriously and bring their ideas to the table.” Colin Parker, chair of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society, said a key outcome of the roundtable and subsequent action plan is to make potential entrepreneurs aware of the services and support currently available, and what more can and should be done. “It can make starting a business a lot easier if you are aware of organizations out there that can offer you help to get started,” Parker said. As for Young, he spoke of a recent statistic that showed 57 per cent of the small business owners

in the Okanagan are self employed. “We don’t know how many of those business owners are textbook en-

trepreneurs, but it does show the validity for enhancing the entrepreneurial spirit in this part of B.C.,” Young said.

The roundtable forum will take place Sept. 7 at the Delta Grand convention centre. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Keep the faith Canuck nation

T

he score was a tad shocking, but the Vancouver Canucks being thrashed 8-1 by the Boston Bruins in game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday is no cause to jump off the Canuck Nation bandwagon yet. For everyone who has rode the wave with the Canucks so far in these NHL playoffs, a more frustrating and overtime leisure time wasting experience there has not been in some time. The Canucks fortunes in

these playoffs change from game to game, sometimes period to period. For the Bruins, entering tonight’s pivotal game 4 matchup, they have to be wondering themselves which personality side of their opponent they will face. While the media hockey pundits were pitching the false premise that the Bruins were done after losing the first two games, Monday’s game was a dose of reality for any Canucks

who were caught up in that TV filler chatter. The Canucks clearly have some strategic advantages over the Bruins— a deeper set of four lines, a more mobile defensive corps and overall better team speed. But whether Vancouver can exert their influence over the Bruins through those attribute advantages remains to be seen. Games at this juncture are a battle of wills, a mental test of who wants it more. All through the playoffs, in

the previous series with Chicago, San Jose and Nashville, they have exhibited moments when they were prepared to exert that will over their opponent, and moments when they were not. So hang on and get ready for a wild ride to the finish, as the Canucks do nothing easy. Killing penalties, scoring on powerplays, hot goaltending… those keys will probably tell whether Canuck Nation will rejoice or enter a summer-long depression.

The animated characters, used in The Stick Men appear to have a series of ads occupying valuable ad- gone rouge. Or at least, the people vertising space on television—particdrawing them have. ularly during the very popular Stanley Far from being impartial little felCup final game telecasts—were suplows, the emaciated army of HST ad-

vertisers are slowly but surely opting for a pro-HST stance in light of the recent government vow to lower the HST to 10 per cent from 12 per cent as long as voters reject the referendum call and re-elect it next time we go to the polls. If voters do that, Premier Christy Clark’s government says it plans to reward voters with the lower HST rate in 2014. And based on the latest Stick Men ads, the little fellas couldn’t be happier. As seen in the ads, when they read “the government has listened” and is lowering the HST rate (no mention of the time line), they go from arguing to

all-out support. But it’s not just Stick Men who would have you believe the HST is now acceptable to all. The latest radio ads purportedly giving both sides of the argument list only people who are happy with the proposed change. No opponents to the tax are heard from. A week ago in Kelowna, during a debate on the tax, anti-HST campaigner Bill Vander Zalm decried the fact spending by both sides was not equal, given the huge amounts thirdparty businesses can, and have been, spending to promote the HST. He even accused the province of bribing the public to vote no in the ref-

erendum by offering rebates and the promise of a lower rate prior to the vote. He has a point. But more importantly, where is the balance that was promised by the government when it announced the run up to the referendum? The Canuck’s Green Men do a great job of annoying opponents who end up in the penalty box. The government’s Stick Men are starting to really annoy HST opponents in a similar manner.

LETTERS â–ź TO BELIEVE OR NOT

Faith means to believe without evidence To the editor: In response to Guy King’s letter to the editor: Gullible Soon Parted From Rational Thought (May 29 Capital News). As a Christian it’s difficult replying to Guy’s letter. His mind is totally closed to any possibility that there is a God, therefore there is no mutual ground to meet on. Obviously he has never had a personal experience with God, which I have had. It is also obvious that reading the written word of God will not convince him. In fact, Jesus said: “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.� That turned out to be so true. After his ressurection Jesus said to doubting Thomas: “Because you have seen me you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen me and yet have believed.�

Jesus used the miraculous to draw the crowds and build their faith in a kingdom not of this world. I can understand Guy King, or can I? In being true to his convictions I believe he is saying: If there is a God, show me proof. But at the same time he is unwilling to listen to the proof that another can show him. A mother puts a small rubber toy in the crib. The baby looks and sees it, then touches it, then puts it into its mouth. The young mind is trained early. In the world he is born into there is nothing, unless one can see it, grab hold of it, or taste it. A person can have the faith to be drawn into a false religion, of which there are many, but they will never have a personal relationship with the living God unless they are “born again.� Jesus said to Nicode-

mus: “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.� And if we can’t see it then how can we touch it or taste of it, in order to believe in it? But Jesus came into the world to open the eyes of the spiritually blind by bringing new birth to their spirit, which can only happen as we in turn receive him into our hearts. Just a simple invitation, but when taken can have a major impact on our lives as we personally experience the reality of the living God (my own experience). And Guy King’s understanding of what constitutes irrational thought is based only on partial truth, that is, truth without faith in God, or to put it another way, body and soul operating without a spirit which is not the way it was originally intended. Vernon Kapler, Kelowna

SUNDOWNE R

Ungodly question To the editor: Now that the ‘busgate’ cover-up has come and gone (Pro-athiest Bus Ads Have Disappeared, May 6 Capital News), I can’t help but think that there might be a conspiracy theory at play here. It’s hard to swallow that this mysterious disappearance was just an act of God, so there. Since there were no witnesses or evidence that any mortal human/s removed the ‘Don’t worry, there probably is no God’ signs off the city transit buses, could it just be possible that God removed the signs just to prove that he really does exist? But if God doesn’t manifest himself in a human form, the question still remains unsolved. So if the transit company and City Hall is withholding information from the public then I feel it’s our duty to go to a higher source to get the truth. No, I’m not talking about Harper (the chosen one) whose motto seems to be ‘All my lies aren’t true.’ And we can’t go to the King (Guy) who is the reason why we’re hav-

ing this debate in the first place. No, I’m talking about going to the ultimate power, which even makes God shake in his holy sandals. Picture a transit bus pulling out of the Queensway depot, loaded with atheists and a sign flashing above the driver’s windshield: ‘Destination Nirvana.’ On the side of the bus is a brand new sign replacing the one that God ripped off. And beside the sign is another one showing a red-faced God, with a caption saying: ‘The Goddess made me do it.’ If you’re still not convinced that God exists, I have a solution that will settle this ungodly question, once and for all. Why not add this question onto the HST referendum and while we’re at it, why not add the other controversy: ‘Do you believe in Creation or Evolution?’ So there you are— problem solved. Now relax and enjoy your day. Hajime (Harold) Naka, Kelowna

McCurdy Corner next to The Brick

Public’s choice to keep building heights low ignored by four city councillors To the editor: I am seriously disappointed in the four Kelowna city councillors who recently voted to increase building heights in the downtown to 26 storeys from 19, including variances, during council’s deliberations on the new Official Community Plan. In doing so, Councilors Blanleil, Craig, James and Stack turned their backs on years of public input into the OCP that ultimately determined that holding the line on building heights was the

most popular choice of city residents. In adopting this position, these four councillors were completely unconcerned with public opinion. Instead, they kowtowed to the desire of the Urban Development Institute, the organization of local developers, for taller buildings and greater profits. And these councilors came up with some questionable reasoning to support their position. In an attempt to save face after having approved the 26-storey Aquilini “24� highrise on Bernard

Avenue two years ago, Blanleil and Stack argued that this project, having already been approved by council, had set the new standard for building heights in the downtown. But they failed to point out that the Aquilini application was approved by stealth, there having been no newspaper advertising of the public hearing and with that item coming up for discussion past midnight after the few members of the public in attendance had already gone home. That sort of practice carries with it no

Frustrated with city traffic To the editor: The traffic lights in this city are deplorable, plain stupid. Does anyone in traffic control take time to drive around the city to see what the hell I am talking about? Direction arrows are not long enough for turning left onto busy Harvey, too many cars are left waiting for the next light,

hence pollution. Every street with lights crossing Harvey should have a left directional signal, it’s plain common sense. The HOV lane is a joke. Three times I was almost hit as I came out onto the HOV lane and at the same time a fast speeding car from the centre lane decided he was going to turn right and switched

lanes coming straight for me. Some people think this HOV lane is for speeding seeing no one is in front of them. I get real angry when I cannot go through the green light at Cooper as the cars waiting for the red light at Dilworth are backed up to Cooper. Wayne Harris, Kelowna

political legitimacy whatsoever. Councillors Craig and James’ reasons for supporting a 26-storey height limitation for the downtown were no more convincing. Craig argued in favour of mixed-use development in the downtown and, presumably, having mixed uses was do-able at 26 storeys, while not at 19. James backed 26 storeys because it represented “smart growth.� In that case, 50 storeys should

be even smarter and 100 storeys outright brilliant. That’s the kind of logical trap one sets for oneself when presuming that bigger is always better. I believe the only just reaction of Kelowna voters to the contempt these four have shown the public by disregarding their input into the OCP on the subject of building heights in the downtown is to deny them re-election in this fall’s civic election.

Plane crash victim once ran Kelowna heavy equipment school Roger Knox CONTRIBUTOR

He’d only been in the North Okanagan for a year, but Lee Sorken made quite an impression. A project superintend-

ent working for Salmon Arm-based Hoban Equipment Ltd. overseeing the Highway 97A projects near Armstrong, Sorken, 39, was killed in a plane crash Friday. The wreckage, which

also claimed the pilot, Sorken’s brother, Dean, 44, was discovered in a farmer’s field about 22 kilometres from Stettler, Alta. The brothers had been flying to the Alberta com-

munity of Killem, the Sorkens’ hometown, for a family wedding, when the plane crashed. The plane had taken off Friday from the Vernon Regional Airport after Dean had flown in from

“Lee was very meticulous, very well organized, very strict but fair. Everybody really enjoyed working with him.” Hoban said Lee had been working as a manager of a heavy equipment

Cannan said he talked with many constituents prior to the budget being drafted in the early spring and the measures the first budget contained—and subsequently this budget—are the ones voters in this riding wanted to see. As for the end of the $2 per vote subsidy for political parties, Cannan said he fully supports the move. He said it is up to the individual parties and the people who support them to come up with the money to pay for future election campaigns. He said support in his riding has been very generous in recent years and his constituency association’s bank balance is doing fine. The subsidy, introduced by former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien in 2003 at a cost of $27 million per year, is seen by supporters as

a way to even the playing field when it comes to election spending because it makes every vote worth something. But Cannan said there are already ways those running for office and their parties can get money back, such as through rebates on political expenses. “From now on, they will just have to work harder to build up their support,” he said. The elimination of the subsidy is to be phased in with 50 cent reductions each year over four years. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said in order to balance the budget one year earlier than originally predicted—in 201415 rather than 2015-16— a committee headed by Treasury Board president Tony Clement will look for ways to strip $4 billion per year out of federal spending. This year, the federal deficit is expected to be $36.2 billion, $4.3 billion less than forecast in March. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

the majority means the ruling Tories will not have to rely on Opposition support to get the budget passed. “We’ve done what we said we would do,” said Cannan about the budget and his party’s election promises. “It’s a good budget for the constituents of Kelowna-Lake Country and for Canadians.” The budget includes reintroduced measures such as: • $400 million to extend the ecoENERGY refit program for homeowners for one year • a top-up benefit of up to $600 for single low-income seniors and $840 for couples through the Guaranteed Income Supplement • tax credits for families looking after sick or disabled relatives, families with children in arts programs and volunteer firefighters • legislation to make the $2 billion gas tax fund that provides money to municipalities the law • a temporary hiring cred-

Outdated phone books can be diverted from the landfill Now that the new Telus phone directories are hitting local doorsteps, the Regional Waste Reduction Office reminds Central Okanagan residents to recycle old phone book. Waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart says phone books are being delivered to area residents and businesses in the Central Okanagan over the knext few weeks. r “Together, these phone books weigh over 166,000 kg. If all of them were tossed into the landfill they’d take up the equivalent space of 60 large dump trucks,” Stewart said. “By recycling instead of tossing out your old phone book, you’re sharing in the solution—diverting waste from our tlimited landfill space and kturning it into a valuable resource.” She adds that many residents are now opting to get their information online, and if so, are

reminded to unsubscribe from publications no longer required. Stewart says the old

phone books are mixed together with other household paper products at Cascades Recovery, a lo-

cal recycling facility on Cambro Road. There the paper is compacted and shipped to numerous re-

cycling mills who make products like roofing felt, more newspaper and paper egg cartons.

Simply put your old phone books in your cart for recycling and place your cart at the curb on

your regular recycling collection day. For more information, call 250-491-2242.

Sinus medication may have caused crash Sinus medication could have been the cause of a Tuesday morning crash that sent one woman to hospital. Emergency crews were called to Baron Road near Ziprick, where a brown Mitsubishi sedan struck a tree, said Const. Steve Holmes. “Emergency crews attended the incident at just after 8 a.m. and police were told, by the driver, that she became sleepy after taking sinus medication and lost control of her vehicle,” said Holmes. The driver complained of bruising to her chest, possibly caused by the seat belt, and was taken to Kelowna General Hospital for examination and treatment. The vehicle suffered front end damage and was towed from the scene. No other vehicles or pedestrians were involved and police have found no other contributing factors to the crash. The driver was not charged.

Cameron makes strides in sophomore season Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

For one day Haley Cameron owned the lead at the Canadian university/college golf championship in Ashburn, Ont. And while the 20-yearold from Kelowna didn’t stay on top for all four rounds, it was a clear indication that her game had taken a considerable step forward in her sophomore tour of duty with the UBC Thunderbirds women’s team. Cameron finished up in a tie for eighth overall last week at nationals, while the Thunderbirds captured the team title for the eighth time in the last nine seasons. “I felt pretty comfortable going in and it was a nice way to start,” Cameron said of her opening round 75. “I wasn’t able to keep it going, my short game didn’t hold up. It could have been better, but we won the team title and that’s really what counts the most.” Despite occasional struggles by each every member of the team, the Thunderbirds managed to eke out the Canadian title by a single stroke over the Victoria Vikings. After watching from the wings as the T-Birds won both the Canadian and NAIA titles in her rookie season last spring, Cameron was thrilled to be a part of the national championship effort in 2011. “To get to see them win last year was real-

ly a good learning experience and great motivation for me to be part of it this year,” she said. “The fact that we won by one this year shows you just how important team play is. None of us were on our game every day and we just grinded it out. You learn how important playing for your team is no matter what kind of a day of tournament you’re having. It was really satisfying.” Two weeks earlier, the Thunderbirds were unable to repeat as NAIA champs as they finished in sixth place in Greenville, Tenn. But on an individual basis, Cameron completed the NAIA season in style as she was one of two T-Birds to be named a first-team all-American. “It was a nice honour,” said Cameron who studies English Literature at UBC. “It kind of shows me I’m headed in the right direction. Cameron was also one of only two T-Birds to qualify for all 11 events during the 2010-11 season. In the spring regular season, she finished in the top five in three of four tournaments. Add in a career-best round of one-under par 71 at an NAIA Div. 1 tournament at Northern Arizona this spring, and the KSS grad has her game on the right track. “Mentally, I think I did make a breakthrough this year,” Cameron said. “I knew I was always capable of shooting in the low to mid-70s. It used

KELOWNA’S Haley Cameron was an NAIA first-team all-star in her sophomore season with the UBC Thunderbirds women’s golf team. to be that a 78 felt really good. Now I feel like I’m at the stage where a 73 or 72 feels good and I’m more capable of do-

ing that. I like where my game is at but I know I’ve got lots of work to do and improvements to make.” Thunderbirds head

coach Chris McDonald has watched Cameron’s progress over her first two seasons of university golf and also likes where the

Kelowna product’s game is headed. “Haley played with some more maturity this season,” said McDonald. “She’s learned what being part of a team is and her role on that team. At the same time, Haley loves to practise her golf and that’s rubbed off on her teammates. “Being a year stronger and more mature, she can hit the ball a little further and that’s helped her game. Now her focus is being a little more consistent, working on her short game and improving on that.” In addition to her honing technical skills, McDonald said Cameron’s mental approach to the game is also evolving. “Even in a lot of the good rounds Haley had this year, she might get off to a tough start but she was able to make a par or birdie quickly and forget about her mistake,” he said. “As a younger player that can be a challenge, keeping it all in perspective. She did a much better job of that this season.” This summer, Cameron will continue to fine tune her game with appearances at the B.C. women’s amateur championship in Port Alberni and the Canadian women’s amateur in Duncan in late July. Then in August, Cameron will look to defend her title at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Ladies Invitational. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Junior Raiders lacrosse team host S. Okanagan Flames The first-place Kelowna Raiders host the South Okanagan Flames Thursday in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action, 7:30 p.m. at Memorial. The Raiders (8-2) are coming off their second loss of the season, a hard-

fought 4-3 setback Saturday to the Kamloops Venom. In a tight-checking game the teams played through a rare scoreless third period. Scott Renner scored twice for Kelowna, while Tyler French tallied the

other Raiders goal. The Raiders have a four-point lead over Armstrong for first with four games remaining.

SENIOR RAIDERS

With eight regulars out of the lineup due to injuries and other commit-

ments, the Kelowna Raiders came up short against the Kamloops Rattlers Friday in Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League action. Kamloops struck for a pair of early shorthanded goals to set the tone for the evening. Both goaltenders were

solid with new Raider Graham Cousins stopping 33 shots and Kamloops Stu Ford 21. Jacob Illichmann dazzled the crowd with some great defensive plays while providing two goals in the losing effort. Other goals came from Steve

Plasko, with two, and one each from Luke Bailey and Joe Brown. The Raiders and Rattlers will meet again to close the regular season in Kelowna. This Friday, the Raiders visit the Vernon Tigers.

A’s move up in PBL The Okanagan Athletics are back in the thick of the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings after a four game sweep of the Victoria Eagles on Vancouver Island last weekend. With three wins already under their belt, the Athletics completed the sweep with a come from behind victory on Sunday afternoon, scoring four runs in the sixth and three more in the seventh inning to beat Victoria. The four game sweep extended the A’s winning streak to five games in total and improved its record to 13-and-14. A stretch of seven wins in its past 10 has the Athletics in sixth place in the 13-team league. Dawson Yates drove in three runs while Cliff Heidebrecht threw three scoreless innings to pick up the win. Earlier Sunday the Athletics needed extra innings to edge the Eagles 5-4. Ryo Shishido stole third before scoring on a single by Tanner Morache in the top of the 9th inning. Jeff May closed the door in the bottom of the inning to earn the win. On Saturday the Athletics earned a 3-2 win when Nathan Ackerman had a steal and later scored in the seventh inning. Dillon Kakoshke earned the win on the mound allowing just two hits in six innings in the series opener. In the only game of the weekend that wasn’t close, Okanagan beat Victoria 8-1 Saturday night behind a six inning pitching performance by Tanner Collins who allowed just three hits.

Owls 12th at BCs Falcons continues series in Wenatchee

The Kelowna Owls ksettled for 12th overall at the B.C. high school boys AAA rugby championship. The Owls, who were sixth last year, dropped an 8-3 decision to South Kamloops on Saturday in Abbotsford in the 11th12th place game. “Probably the most frustrating game of the year, ugly rugby, no flow,” said Owls head coach Dave Marfleet. KSS, which was aiming for a top-10 finish, opened the consolation side of the draw last Wednesday on the right foot with a 23-0 drubbing of Van College. f “Amazing effort by all tplayers, one of the best efforts of the year,” Marfleet tsaid. In their third game of provincials No. 6 Vanier beat the No. 10 Owls 2512. KSS also played an exhibition game that had no bearing on provincials and tied Earl Marriot 4040. Despite not earning a top-10, the heads coach still commended his Kelowna players. “The goal was top

ten,” Marfleet added, “still very impressive for an interior team.” Owls captain Bryce Stirling was named to the commissioner’s team. It was the Owls third straight appearance at provincials.

OKM HUSKIES

The Okanagan Mission Huskies won their

final game to take 15th place at the B.C. boys AA rugby championship. On Saturday in Abbotsford, OKM downed Smithers 31-17. Earlier in the tournament, the Huskies lost to L.V. Rogers, Sentinel and Clarence Fulton. OKM’s Jordan Brown was named to the commissioner’s team.

head into the final weekend of regular season unbeaten and in top spot in TOJLL. In other action: • The United U18 boys played to a 1-1 draw with Shuswap. Brandon Nahayowski scored late in the game for Kelowna to earn the draw. • The United U16 boys split a doubleheader with Kamloops. Riley Carlson, Alex Stavrou and Tyler Williamson scored in a 3-2 win in the opener. In the second game,

Chris Macdonell and Quintin Torrensan scored in a 3-2 loss. • The Kelowna U15 girls slid past Kamloops 2-1. Sydney Solland scored in the first half following a well placed penalty kick from Victoria Dauncey-Elwood. With the game tied 1-1 in the second half, Victoria Dauncey-Elwood fed a nice pass up the middle to a streaking Jill Robertson who did not miss on her opportunity to chip the ball past the Kamloops

stoke 6-0. Emma Bigattini scored three goals in the second game. Hannah Allan had to be sharp to keep her shut out bid in the second game with Morgan Asling providing strong defensive and offensive play in support. • The Kelowna United U12 Kaos girls tied Vernon (2) 3-3 as Alley Corrado had a goal and an assist. Sarah Dewar had two goals in a 3-1 win over Vernon 1. Courtney Donaldson had four assists over the weekend.

Knights bronzed at provincials Ranked fourth heading into the tournament, the Kelowna Christian Knights did one better than that by winning the bronze medal at the B.C. high school girls A soccer championship. The Knights knocked off their local rivals, the Immaculata Mustangs, 1-0 in Saturday’s thirdplace final in Victoria. Cammi Taron’s goal from a Jill Lommer corner kick two minutes before the second half was all the scoring KCS needed. Mikayla Pankratz made several key saves to preserve the win and earn the shutout. A relatively young squad with just four Grade 12s, the Knights exceeded their coach’s expectations. “What I was really pleased about was that the girls really peaked at the end of the season,” said head coach Mike Hansum. “We worked hard on fundamentals, skills, tactics and team work, and I really didn’t have any expectations for provincials, just to meet the sixth-place we had last year. But they far exceeded those expectations. With hard work and perseverance they came together.” The Knights only

KCS won four of five games at provincials and had four shutouts. But none, according to Hansum was more impressive than 7-0 win over Nakusp. “It’s the most complete game I’ve ever seen any of our teams over the years play. It wasn’t about beating a team 7-0, with all due respect to Nakusp, it was about the girls putting it all together in one game. They had fun and played an incredible game.”

The Kelowna Owls beat Charles Best in a shootout to take seventh

KSS finished their pool in second place with a win and two ties, including a 2-2 draw against the No. 1 ranked team from Claremont. In the first crossover game, Kelowna lost in shootout to Lord Tweedsmuir. The Owls’ Jessica Burma was named to the Commissioner’s 11 team.

Stroda wins double gold, meets idol It was a weekend Aaron Stroda is sure to remember for a long time to come. The Grade 9 student from Okanagan Mission Secondary started if off by winning a pair of gold medals—in shot put and discus—at the B.C. high school track and field championships at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. Twenty-four hours later, Stroda was in Kamloops for a throws event where he got to chat with rCanadian throwing star, Dylan Armstrong. Armstrong, a Kamloops native, is a five-time national champion in shot put and the 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medalist. Stroda, whose best throw in discus is 59.05, is just under 33 centimeters shy of Armstrong’s Canadian midget record. “It’s about time that you beat my old discus record,” Armstrong said with a smile as he chatted with Stroda. “I am following Dylan’s results this year and he is doing awesome with the second best shot

He is the nicest guy in the world” said Stroda. At provincials in Burnaby, Stroda confirmed his dominance in the midget age group by winning the shot put (15.19m) and the discus in 53.10 m. Although missing out on new PBs Aaron has won all of his throwing competitions this year. He also competed in the 100m with a new PB of 11.92 seconds but scratched his spot in the finals due to an overlapping schedule with

his discus throw competition. “Throwing on the infield of the Swanguard Stadium is very special,” he said. “My first throw was out of bounds and I had to play a bit safe today as we had only three throws in total. Today was about bringing home two championships for OKM. That was my goal.”

TWO SILVER FOR TURNER…

Kelowna’s James Turner made it to the po-

dium twice at the B.C. high school track and field championships over the weekend at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. Turner won the silver medal in both the senior boys shot put and javelin events, while taking fourth in the discus. A week earlier in Abbotsford the KSS student captured the gold medal in the decathlon—a combination of 10 events—at the B.C. high school combined championships in Abbotsford. Turner won the event with 6,320 points, more than 300 ahead of his nearest competitor. Meanwhile, the KSS team won bronze at provincials last weekend in the senior boys 4 by 100 relay. Darrion Bunce, Rostam Turner, Eric Chang and Henry Yang were third behind St. Thomas More and Van College. Among top-five finishes for local athletes, Kelowna’s Adele Joyce was fifth in the 100 metres, while Kelowna Christian’s Erin Kokayko came fifth in the senior girls shot put.

At the plate for the Jays, Jared Johnson again led the way with a 3-for3 day. He also scored two runs on Cody Valgardson and Sebastien Wong RBI’s. In the nightcap the Jays fell to the Kamloops Sundevils. Dawson Newman took the loss after he struggled in the first inning and gave up four runs before settling in for three more scoreless innings. Blake Young would work the fifth giving up a run, while Paul Dipple would clean up the sixth with a scoreless inning. Johnson would add a couple of hits, one being a triple. Trenton Lively also was 1-for-2 in his first appearance in a Jays uniform.

W TRAVELING WITH PETS

Having a dog or cat shouldn’t alter your vacation plans O

wning a pet should not restrict you from travelling and going on vacations. These days, it has become more and more popular to include the pets in the family vacation. Even hotels and airlines are acknowledging this fact by providing special accommodation for pets to be on board. But before you travel, there are a few things you should think about in order to keep the trip safe and pleasurable for both you and your pet. I strongly recommend all pet owners put an identification tag on the pet’s collar and to consider injecting an identification microchip.

t

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz A microchip is permanent and can’t get lost or be removed in case of the pet’s theft. And make sure your pet is up to date for vaccinations. If you plan to cross an international border, a rabies vaccine is mandatory. It is recommended to apply deworming, tick and flea control and heartworm prevention medications to the pet. You should also check if there is a specific prev-

alence of any infectious agent in your destination area, one that might require a specific preventative treatment. Whether you are traveling by air or by car, you should think about the factors that will make your pet comfortable and safe. For airplane flights, the pet has to be placed in a travel crate. If you travel with a large breed dog, check with your airline about the rules and restrictions for the crate size and weight, as they vary among airlines. If your crate is very large, you might face a problem with the airline or will be required to pay an extra fee. It is better to be well prepared and not

to face unpleasant surprises on the day of the actual trip. The pet should also be comfortable in its crate. For a travel crate, make sure it is large enough to allow the animal stand, sit upright and lie down comfortably inside. Make sure that the crate is not broken and that it can be latched securely. Label the crate with a “Live Animal� designation, and your contact numbers both at home and at the destination address. Placing a familiar blanket and safe toys can help the animal feel more comfortable. It is very important to make sure that the crate is

well ventilated. Some owners cover the crate to limit the pet’s vision and reduce stress. This cover should be removed before boarding the plane to ensure adequate air supply. The question of whether to sedate the pet is always a dilemma. I usually recommend to owners that it’s better to avoid it if possible, and to sedate only animals that are extremely stressed because sedating an animal without being able to monitor it might create some unnecessary risks. Make sure you put enough water inside the crate to last the length of the trip. If the length of trip and the medical condition of the pet will al-

low, don’t feed the animal until after you arrive at your destination. If you travel by car, you are not obligated to use a crate but I still definitely recommend it, especially for a cat. Cats tend to get extremely stressed in an unfamiliar situation and can escape very easily if not confined. If your pet suffers from car sickness your vet can prescribe an anti-nausea medications. For a dog in the car, it is recommended not to let it sit in the front passenger seat if there is an air bag in the car. Better to be in the back seat. You can find different car seat harnesses and other safety accessories in

pet equipment stores. Remember to make frequent stops for the dog to drink, exercise and to relieve itself. Always keep your dog on a leash. If you are taking your dog camping, be aware of wildlife hazards such as coyotes, cougars, raccoons, porcupines and snakes. Please consult your veterinarian prior to traveling for specific recommendations for your pet’s needs and requirements to have a great and safe vacation.

Impaired driving suspected as playing a role in Harvey-Gordon collision Police suspect booze could be one of the factors of a dramatic crash at the intersection of Harvey Avenue and Gordon Drive the early hours of Saturday.

“Witnesses saw a brown Kia sedan traveling northbound on Gordon at a high rate of speed,� said Const. Steve Holmes, noting the incident happened at 1:20 a.m. June. 4.

“The vehicle went through a red light at the intersection and struck an eastbound black Dodge pickup, spinning the truck 360 degrees.� The car caught fire and the two oc-

cupants of the truck, a 27 year old man and 26 year old woman from Kelowna, helped get the three occupants out of the car. The 20 year old driver of the Kia, from Ter-

race, showed signs of alcohol impairment but a gash across his head delayed his ability to provide a breath sample. “At the Kelowna General Hospital, he con-

sented to a blood sample, which was sent away to be analyzed for blood alcohol content,� said Holmes. The driver may be facing recommended charges of Drive while Im-

paired and Drive over .08, depending on the blood analysis. Motor Vehicle Act charges may also be applicable. The remaining occupants of both vehicles had minor injuries.

She has really cool wall racks, and you’ve

gotta love the vintage chairs in the change room area. Huculiak also carries hats, shoes and jewelry, all vintage or hand-crafted, usually by local artists. Tweaked & Yummy is also an art gallery, as the walls feature art by young, local artists. Huculiak wants to give them a showcase for their work. She even hosts monthly art shows, each one featuring the work of a different local art student. If you want more info on which artists she’s featuring each month, check out her website at info@ tweakedandyummy.com. An interesting fact— the most popular vintage item for the guys is the western snap-button shirt. I also checked in with Angie Bricker at her business, Natural Belly & Baby, 1331 Ellis St. As it turned out, the timing was perfect be-

cause Bricker is making big changes at her shop as well. It will boast a fresh new name—Earth Whimsy Artisan’s Market—and a new focus on products for grown-ups: Homewares, art and vintage products (clothing, jewelry and handbags). Earth Whimsy will still feature natural, organic products. And the good news is the store will still carry all the same baby products she has now. But she’s been busily sourcing out new products with a broader appeal, many of which aren’t seen in Kelowna yet. She tells me that she’s even found a fabulous new line of Canadianmade handbags and laptop covers made from recycled seat belts. I can’t wait to see those—what a creative idea.

W TIP TOP TAILORS

Original mall tenant adopts fashion makeover STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

T

Maxine DeHart

he Tip Top Tailors store in Orchard Park Mall has been completely renovated with a grand re-opening set for June 10 to 12. Located in the Centre Sky Court area, Tip Top Tailor is one of only a few original retailers in the mall still around. It’s a neat story. Bill Coderre, who has been the manager of the store for 27 years in that location, was the second manager of the store. The first manager was his father Bill Coderre Sr., who started in 1971, the same year the shopping center opened. Jeff Gyle, full-time sales associate, has also been with Tip Top for 27 years in the mall. For the reopening there will be many special offers, along with new lines including the Stonehouse Collection (100 per cent wool Canadian made suits), DKNY, and the updating of their Calvin Klein line. Call 250-860-3876. By the way, I will be away next week so I won’t have a column for the June 15 edition of the Capital News. The Capital News plans to change its publications dates to Tuesday, Thursday and Friday starting the week of June 20, so my next Straight from DeHart column will actually appear in the new Tuesday edition of the Capital News. So I’ll see you on Tuesday, June 21. Well-known chiropractor Dr. Dale Forsythe is celebrating 40 years in practice. Forsythe’s uncle practiced for 62 years, so he’s got a long way to go to catch up to him. To celebrate, Forsythe will roll back

his fees to 1971 prices for existing, former and new patients at his practice, located at 225 Rutland Road South on June 16, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will be fun to see how they are going to recreate the atmosphere of 1971. For an appointment call 250765-1466; drforsythe@ shaw.ca. Two well-known firemen with the Kelowna Fire Department are retiring. With over 35 years in the department, Capt. Gerry Richard started his career as a volunteer with the Kelowna Volunteer Fire Department in 1976 and served there until he was hired as a fulltime firefighter in 1978. He was promoted to lieutenant in 2002 and then captain in 2005. He is an avid fisherman, hunter, golfer and self-taught furniture builder, all of which he will enjoy in his retirement. And with more than 35 years in the department, Capt. Brian Pekrul was hired in 1977. In his early years, he enjoyed running the ambulance. He has worked on Marine Rescue 2 and can remember when the KFD obtained the department’s first diesel truck. He was appointed to acting lieutenant in 1997, promoted to lieutenant in 2001 and then captain in 2006. His retirement plans are to golf, go boating, skiing and snowboarding. Speaking of promotions in the Kelowna Fire Department, congratulations to Larry Hollier and John Kelly, who both have been promoted to the rank of captain, and to Dan Chasca and Gord Darchuk, who are both now lieutenants. The Kelowna area chapter of the Canadian Ski Patrol System has been honoured with the highest possible designation by Canada’s national ski patrol organization. Known as the Ogopogo Zone, the group was named the CSPS 2011

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

THE TIP TOP TAILORS store in Orchard Park Mall has undergone a major renovation. The store staff includes store manager Bill Codere (left), Jeff Gyle, Sarah Badger and Jevon Pope. National Outstanding Zone. This prestigious award recognizes the extraordinary efforts of a zone and its members in promoting, expanding and supporting the programs and policies of the CSPS and was selected as the top patrol organization from 63 nationwide. Ogopogo zone includes patrols at Big White, Crystal Mountain, Phoenix Mountain and Telemark Cross-Country. Justin Lane is the Ogopogo Zone president. Chris Brown and Tom Graham, with the Rutland Park Society, are the recipients of the Spirit of Kelowna Award for the successful 52nd annual edition of Rutland May Days. Kelowna Ford Lincoln Sales Ltd., 2540 Enterprise Way, has received the prestigious 2010 Diamond Club President’s Award, which honours the top dealers for demonstrating a superior level of customer care at every visit. The award nominees are measured not only for

outstanding new vehicle sales, but also in excellent service as judged by customer comments and comprehensive surveys. Brad Airey is the partner/ general manager of the dealership, with Norm Assam also a partner. Call 250-868-2330. Bernard Casavant was singled out as the most promising graduate in the Vancouver Island University culinary arts program back in 1976. After 35 years since as a prominent executive chef who now works for Manteo Resort, Casavant has received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the university. His first job was as a prep cook at the Greenwood Motor Hotel in Port Alberni, and since then he has created distinctive Western Canadian cuisine for British Royalty and Hollywood celebrities, including Prince Charles and Diana, the King of Dubai, John Travolta and Kenny Rogers. Le Plateau’s Bistro, owned and operat-

ed by Michael Gauthier at 5-3045 Tutt St. (Tutt Street Square), is now open for both lunch and dinner. The restaurant also has two new well-known chefs—executive chef Karl Jarrett, formerly of Mission Hill Estate Winery, and sous chef Katelyn Boutiller, formerly with RauDZ. The new menu items are nicoise salad, vegetarian cassoulet, pan roasted duck breast and Elk bavette. The bistro is lovely, serving simple, honest food and wine. I like to refer to it as a “wonderful hidden secret.” To make reservations call 250-861-8618; www.leplateaubistro.ca. Dr. Randy Gerber has relocated his podiatry clinic to the Glenmore Medical Building, 1615 Gordon Dr., where he will be sharing office space with his colleague Dr. Richard Snowsell. Call 250-762-6097. Eye-Spy Reflective Address Signs is a business that delivers and/ or installs in a visible location, reflective civ-

ic address signs, which provide emergency response vehicles and others a highly visible means of locating your property fast and easy. It only makes sense to improve visibility of house numbers, especially at night or when it is raining. Owned by Paul Mathon, the signs are three-inch white reflective numbers positioned back-to-back onto an appropriate sized rustresistant, green powdercoated metal plate, which is durable, chip resistant and long-lasting. The signs are reasonable to purchase and installation time is one week or less, supplied with or without posts. The new product comes with green reflective numbers on white triangle-shaped fiberglass, are UV proof and ideal for chain link fences, culde-sacs or corner properties. Call 250-864-7607, 250-486-6607 ;www.eyespysigns.org Charly Stratton is the new president of the B.C. Interior chapter for the Sunshine Foundation.

The foundation is looking for new board members. To join call, 250869-9252; strattc@hotmail.com. Mickie’s Pub, located at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Centre, 2170 Harvey Ave., has a new menu, which can also be enjoyed on their lovely patio. Some of the new items (and I have tried and enjoyed them all) are Spiked Sliders, Sesame Jack Pot Stickers and Mini Samosas (appetizers). New featured salads are the Tuscan Prawn Salad, Spicy Tuna Steak Salad and Ginger Beef Salad. Some really great new burgers are lamb, salmon, and my personal favourite, the turkey burger. A new feature sandwich is the BBQ pulled pork while a great tuna steak sandwich has also been added. Mickie’s is open seven days a week and serves breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Call 250979-4548. Speaking of the Ramada Hotel, if anyone is looking for a free TV, the Ramada has about 100 to give away. They are 27 inch RCAs (no remote controls, not flat screens). Just drop into the Ramada any day between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. and ask for maintenance. Carl’s Jr. Restaurant is now open at Harvey and Bertram, owned and operated by siblings Alisha, Chris and Michelle Dowling. The restaurant is open for breakfast and offers a drive-thru window service. I must mention four individuals who truly deserve recognition for exceptional customer service. A big thanks to Jeff Jenns, of Mario’s Towing, Cole Chasca, of Lakeview Market, Jesse Heath, of Extra Foods (Capri) and Dalton Stark (watch technician) of On Time Service at The Bay. See DeHart B3

A new report by the Chartered Accountants of B.C. indicates that 2010 marked early signs of economic recovery in the Thompson-Okanagan region. Overall employment growth helped off-set previous job losses, and pushed down the unemployment rate, particularly among young workers. Residential building permits increased and both business incorporations and business establishments reported growth.

However, some residual challenges from the economic downturn remain, and for the second consecutive year capital investment declined. “At this time, economic prospects for 2011 are cautiously optimistic,” said Karen Christiansen, a partner with MNP LLP in Kelowna. “Overall, employment levels are up and unemployment rates are down. Last year, the number of business incorporations and establishments increased, reflecting growing entrepreneurial and in-

vestor confidence. “Price reduction in construction costs will attract greater numbers of second home, resort and investment buyers, which in turn will boost residential, resort/residential and commercial development.” The report found that after sustaining significant job losses in 2009, the Thompson-Okanagan’s economy rebounded last year with the addition of 9,200 new jobs. With a job growth rate of 3.7 per cent, the region

BUSINESS W IN THE WORKPLACE

Legislating work-life balance would be unwelcome step

R

ecent published reports indicate the Quebec government is getting into the business of promoting work-life balance. Somewhat concerning is the prospect that this might be its first step towards legislation addressing that topic. The Bureau de Normalisation du Quebec (BNQ) announced that it will be promoting worklife balance by offering four levels of certification

YOU WORK HERE

Robert Smithson to employers. The idea seems to be that, by setting standards and offering voluntary certification, employers will have an official mechanism by which

to show job seekers how great their company is. Apparently, employers presently having trouble attracting workers will benefit by wearing the new government-issued badge of honour. The Quebec government also seems to think that this program will help the province to better compete “locally and internationally.” The objective is to promote a better balance between professional,

family, and social responsibilities. The BNQ called the program an “innovative solution” to what is, presumably, a widespread work-life imbalance in that province. Now, it would be difficult to find anyone who wouldn’t say that achieving an elusive “work-life balance” would be a desirable thing. So, I don’t want to be seen as pooh-poohing the whole concept. But, whenever government seeks to extend its reach even farther into the workplace, I ask myself what that could possibly achieve. No doubt it will achieve at least one thing for Quebec—yet another bureaucratic administration and enforcement structure maintained at taxpayers’ expense. It is difficult to imag-

ine this program achieving anything else of value. One potential problem is that every employer may feel compelled to obtain the certification and, once they do, having the government’s stamp of approval won’t differentiate one employer from any other. Another problem is that the program compels participating employers to (among other things) construct new training programs, implement new policies, institute communications around worklife balance, and provide a designated person responsible for administering the program. Many employers will, justifiably, view this as yet another unprofitable level of business administration imposed by government. What’s really troubling about this new program is that it appears to

‘‘

…THE THOUGHT OF GOVERNMENT IMPOSING MANDATORY WORK-LIFE BALANCE STANDARDS ON EMPLOYERS CONCERNS ME. IT SHOULD ALSO CONCERN EVERY EMPLOYER.

be the first step towards introducing legislation around work-life balance. A representative of BNQ was quoted as stating the Quebec government is keen to introduce such legislation and that they are starting with the voluntary certification program to see if it works.

Maybe it’s my own political leaning coming to the surface, here, but the thought of government imposing mandatory work-life balance standards on employers concerns me. It should also concern every employer. My own view is that wise governments only intrude on private relationships—such as the one between employer and employee—to the smallest degree possible. Government involvement in areas such as workplace safety, discrimination, and enforcing certain minimum standards (wages, overtime pay, etc.) may be unavoidable. But these are objective standards which are broadly applicable across industries and across private circumstances and situations. Work-life balance is, on the contrary, an amorphous concept that will surely defy any valid definition. Simply put, what qualifies as an appropriate balance between home and work life is different j for every one of us. It doesn’t take much imagination to see that work-life balance legislation would likely result in a whole new strain of “accommodation” obligations for employers. This would be a continuation of an apparently broad-based government agenda to force Canadian employers to render themselves suitable and accessible to every possible applicant. This approach compels all employers to adhere to cookie-cutter standards to accommodate all possible job seekers. Legislating work-life balance would be a further, significant and unwelcome step in that direction. Robert Smithson is a labour and employment lawyer, and operates Smithson Employment Law in Kelowna.

BUSINESS W ENTREPRENEURS

The journey of entrepreneurial self-discovery never ends “ The road is long with many a winding turn” is a lyrical line from the ’70s hit song, He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother. It conjures up reflection of the journey to entrepreneurial behaviour which my column addresses today. One only needs to Google the phrase selfdiscovery to find themselves immediately immersed in a myriad of valuable insights to guide one’s path. But this week, let us meet Dawn Abernethy and learn about her story, which will take us beyond personal change to an added benefit of becoming budding entrepreneur in the process. Abernethy’s pilgrimage of change begins in Lloydminster, Sask., the community where she born into a family with two other siblings, a brother and a sister. When she was two, the family moved to Kamloops to accommodate her father’s work, subsequently moving again to the Okanagan just after she turned 12. After completing secondary school, Abernethy was hired into the food and beverage industry working at a Diary Queen outlet in Kelowna, becoming a supervisor and then restaurant manager. In about 2001, Abernethy moved into another aspect of the food and beverage industry in West Kelowna, while at the same time getting married, and starting a family with the first of what

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young would be three daughters. To make a brief sidestep here, this was a pivotal point in this young woman’s life. She had endured a crisis at age 12 when her parents were divorced, as her dad returned to Lloydminster and her mom came to Kelowna. Shortly after that monumental event in her childhood, her father passed away. These two traumatic incidents dramatically set Abernethy back into a state of mind of personal abandonment. How could a father whom she loved so dearly and who made her feel special as a young daughter with his words of caring and love, leave her deserted to meet the world’s challenges without him by her side? And here also is where the journey becomes fiercely muddy for our young wife and mother. She quoted to me the following as passionately as I am certain she felt it inside her should in previous times: “My life will be perfect when I graduate from high school, when I find the right boyfriend, get the right house, get married, have children.” And so it went for Dawn Abernethy until she realized that none of these

accomplishments made her truly happy. In fact, she was very miserable. The roller coaster ride of life with the hurt and fear of the past and present were continuously pulling her down, making her feel she was in a quagmire of self-pity which wouldn’t release her to seek out a more joyful state in her life. Yes, she had a husband, her daughters and her friends, but, the psychological and emotional blockage she experienced held her in its grip. Finally, Abernethy realized there was another way for out of the darkness and into the light of life. And, it was through looking at and using the natural beauty of nature and its magnificence that she was to begin her transformation into that sunlight of joy and spiritual redemption. As those who know me know only to well my own identity with the eagle as a symbol for me of free spirit and adventure, a channel of cleansing the soul as it were. So Abernethy chose likewise to focus on eagles and hawks whom she so magically found guided her personal change, a decision coupled with an online course with with Eckhart Tolle and a married couple in Kelowna whom counselled and gave her the courage to face the ride ahead. Abernethy ultimately realized that part of her healing would be to write a “memoir” of her transformational experiences over a 30 day period

of her life. And so it began, with a unique memoir reflecting the beauty of our Okanagan region with colourful photographs of local birds, specifically hawks and eagles each photo acting as a metaphor for Abernethy’s real life journey as she healed a childhood tragedy, released old ideas of abandonment and built a pathway for a life filled with inner peace and joy. The photographs she took became the genesis for a book idea, titled A New Dawn. It documented her rapid-pace spiritual epiphany over the course of 30 days in Central Okanagan experiencing her daily life. “Anyone with an interest in nature and spirituality is truly bound to be moved by Dawn’s story of change,” says her friend Karin Wilson, a local writer . I promised Abernethy I would read her book, and I did as I genuinely experienced her life journey in her own words that concluded her transformation of healing. Abernethy never saw herself at first as becoming entrepreneurial, but the more she accepted her creative and innovative choices of self-discovery, the more she realized she had entered the zone of thinking, acting and behaving entrepreneurial. And this first book, I sense, is only the beginning for the new Dawn. For more information, visit www.spiritunleashed.net or join Dawn Abernethy and her friends for her book release party

Doreen Smith wealth. This is usually done with hard work and living within our financial means. Ensure you know the options available. There are rules or consequences that happen with proper planning or no planning. There are two distinct types of ownership. The most common one is joint owners with right of survivorship. The second type of ownership is tenancy in common. For couples, joint ownership with right of

survivorship will result in the assets flowing to the survivor. It is a strategy used by the majority of married couples; this type of ownership can pertain to bank accounts, vehicles, investment accounts and property. Joint tenancy can meet estate planning goals to simplify the administration of an estate, minimize probate fees and ensures your assets pass to the intended person. Right of survivorship ensures when the first spouse dies, assets pass to the surviving spouse without being subject to the delays and expense of an application for probate. Tenants in common ownership are where two or more persons acquire an interest in a property. In the event of death,

their interest becomes part of their estate. This type of ownership may be considered in a blended family situation. A father or mother may want their portion of the family home transferred upon passing to his or her children, and not be transferred upon death to a new spouse. If you own property with another person as tenants in common, on your death your interest in the property becomes part of your estate and is passed on according to your will. The home is then typically sold so the estate can be settled. Pre-planning ensures the transfer of accumulated assets upon death. Most estates using joint ownership with right

of survorship can avoid probate on the death of the first spouse. There may also be additional options to reduce or avoid probate on the death of a surviving parent. When a client dies, his or her family is forced to assume the responsibility of settling the estate in addition to the person-

Recycling old phone books Now that the new Telus directories are hitting local doorsteps, the regional waste reduction office reminds the public that the now outdated phone books can be recycled. Waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart says phone books are being delivered to area residents and businesses in the Central Okanagan over the next few weeks. “Together, these phone books weigh over 166,000 kg. If all of them were tossed into the landfill they’d take up the equivalent space of 60 large dump trucks,” Stewart said. “By recycling instead of tossing out your old phone book, you’re sharing in the solution—diverting waste from our limited landfill space and turning it into a valuable resource.”

She says many residents are now opting to get their information online, and if so, are reminded to unsubscribe from publications no longer required. Stewart says the old books are mixed together with other household paper products at Cascades Recovery, Kelowna’s local recycling facility on Cambro Road. There the paper is compacted and shipped to numerous recycling mills which make products like roofing felt, more newspaper and paper egg cartons. “Put your old phone books in your cart for recycling and place your cart at the curb on your regular recycling collection day. You can also take phone books to your nearest recycling depot,” Stewart said. For more information, call 250469-6250.

ENTERTAINMENT W ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

Free-spirited Cape Bretoner gigs at Doc Willoughby’s STAFF REPORTER

You might say Carmen Townsend’s career was about to hit a brick wall when she lost her drummer two days before launching her solo Canadian tour. In reality it was the drummer who hit the wall—with his fist. Thomas Allen had been wanting to quit the band and the call for audition tapes had already gone out. So, as all is fair in rock ’n’ roll, the shattered wrist just had to serve as a resignation and Townsend was on the hunt. “We had all these audition tapes, but we needed someone who could start in two days…It was

kind of a silly situation,” she said. Townsend had already spent 12 years touring with others and working the back halls of the music biz before earning a solo career. Her first CD, Waitin’ and Seein’, features the hard-rocking singer/songwriter pounding out the melodies Stevie Nicksstyle, though she claims Joni Mitchell to be among her top influences, inspiring melodies that draw on her voice more as an instrument than a means of delivering a lyric. This unique range has already earned her a boatload of accolades. “Her voice is an acrobatic instrument of supernatural beauty exuding

child-like wonder soaring up and down like a kite in a windstorm,” wrote Bruce Leperre in a review for the Winnipeg Free Press in February. Growing up on Christmas Island, Nova Scotia, the Cape Brettoner says she chose her path early. She had forests, ocean and an 8-track to entertain herself as a child; the 8-track won. Now she’s playing with the likes of Sam Roberts, Joe Plaskett and Serena Ryder at the FredRock Festival and haunting Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros when she hits the stage at Evolve. “I’m a fan of everybody, so it’s so awesome to be able to share the

His tune Rockets is restive, his Christian-oriented The Right Thing is meandering while the title Stella Maris is lightly cinematic. The laidback Lacrimae has beat throbs that could be the tear drops the title refers to while Moby piles on the strings on a few instrumentals such as the closing When You Are Old.

Fans have already bought this album but I found it to be one of Moby’s lesser offerings. C+

TINIE TEMPAH: DISCOVERY (CAPITOL)

Tempah is a big new star in his native U.K. This debut album features three chart-topping Brit singles with the up-tempo dance hip hop of Frisky and the dub-styled Pass Out that reminded me of old time Sly & Robbie. Tempah also hit No.2 with the song Written In The Stars with its arena rock guitar solo which is the first single domestically and doing very well in our top 20. But at first I wondered if this wasn’t some sort of Sasha Baron Cohen puton with Tempah’s clichéd rap about groupies, gangstas and lyrics like “the

Roley on my wrist” and “like Popeye on spinach” when it came to his wiener bits that he likens to bison (I figured he meant beef witted). But Tempah has also obviously noticed the huge hits B.o.B. has had with duets with Hayley Williams and Jessie J and so this album closes out with three similar duets with Brit gals Ester Dean, Ellie Goulding and Emeli Sande. I like the fact that

sometimes MC Tempah uses his thick English accent but he ought to warned about just how xenophobic the charts are to the south of our border. C+

real’s Daniel Taylor will most likely rank up there as one of the best of contemporary times. Taylor is a 42-yearold star of classical music who helped establish the Quebec-based Theatre Of Early Music a decade ago that often records baroque, Elizabethan music. Taylor is known for his superb countertenor (which means a female sounding voice) and on Come Again Sweet Love he covers mostly ballads written by Henry Purcell (1659-1695), Edward Johnson (1572-1601), Tobias Hume (1569-1645) and others of the era who sometimes used Shakespeare’s text for their compositions. There is a lovely song by Dame Emma Kirkby on Now What Is Love? with text by Sir Walter Scott. A few other singers help out as well, but Taylor consistently steals the show on this lengthy classical disc. There are extensive liner notes making this a musicologists dream release and the few heavenly instruments with lute, viola, theorbo and bass makes this a delightful listen that harkens way back to the antiquities of popular song of the day. The Guardian, Britain’s mainstay newspaper, heralded Daniel Taylor with “he is part angel, part man…Taylor sings beautifully.” A

The African Hearts Community Organization is a non-governmental organization in Uganda that helps marginalized and vulnerable children off the street and give them a bright future. His organization, the African Hearts Community Organization, has built a school for the children where they receive education and protection. What makes his charity different is that the children participating in the program are also taught music. The directors of the Lake Country Big Band, Ed and Mary Atherton, have developed a strong bond with the African Hearts organization, having already donated many musical instruments and expensive sheet music to the children. The children benefit from this musical education greatly not only because it increases their creative faculties, but also because they are able to earn for themselves an income through their performances. They have lots of fun playing regardless, but the fact that they are able to sustain themselves financially is an important life skill for them to learn. Last year, the concert raised money for the community organization’s band in Kampala, Uganda, to enable them to buy a cow for milking which would give them an income. This year, the aim is to fill the Kampala school with school supplies purchased from the concert fundraising efforts. Ed Atherton has composed a special song just for these fundraising concerts, titled African Hearts. The band members are joined together by a love of performing for the community and a love of all kinds of jazz style music, from driving rock to the soulful blues and every style in between. Come and join us as we kick the summer into a high gear for a good cause with an evening of great music and lots of fun hosted by TV reporter Kent Molgat. The concert takes place at Creekside Theatre, which is attached to George Elliot Secondary School in the Winfield. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door. General admission is $10, students $5, and families $25. For more information, call Ryan Stratychuk at 250-212-3001 or Creekside Theatre at 250-7665669.
