Kathy MichaelsSTAFF REPORTER

On Tuesday, a Can-ada-wide warrant had been issued for the arrest of Kelowna Hells Angels member Robert Leonard Thomas, 46, one of sev-en men charged with the murder of Kelowna resi-dent Dain Phillips.

“I suspect he’s prob-ably pondering what his options are at this time,” said Supt. Pat Fogarty, who leads the Combined Forces Special Enforce-ment Unit.

Wednesday at 3 a.m., Thomas opted to turn himself in at the Kelowna RCMP detachment.

Six others have already been arrested and charged with second degree mur-der of Phillips, 51.

Phillips is being re-membered by friends and family on a memorial web site as a “gentle giant who never had a bad word to say about anyone.”

It’s a description that makes his violent end, al-legedly at the hands of a pack of Hells Angels and their associates, all the more confounding to po-lice.

“This is a senseless murder over a dispute for what?” said Fogarty dur-ing a Tuesday afternoon press conference where he announced full patch Hells Angels, Norman

Cocks, 31, and Thom-as, 46, are accused of the second degree murder of Phillips. They’re the � rst full patch-wearing Hells Angels charged with mur-der in the club’s 28-year history in B.C.

Five others with con-nections to the notori-ous biker gang also face the same charge. Rob-ert Cocks, a 52-year-old president of the support club, the Throttle Lockers, and club associates Dan-iel and Matthew McRae, Anson Schell and Thom-as Vaughan all appeared in Kelowna provincial court Monday and were remanded in custody un-til July 21.

While Phillips’ ac-cused killers are all known to police and in some cas-es have lengthy criminal records, Fogarty insist-ed that the father of three wasn’t embroiled in any gang or criminal activi-ty June 12, when he was beaten to death at the in-tersection of McCurdy and Gibson roads.

In fact, the fatal series of events that, initially, ap-peared to be part of lit-tle more than an outdoor brawl, now seems to be that Phillips was attempt-ing to “do the right thing” for his family.

Tim PetrukCONTRIBUTOR

The teenaged lacrosse player who suffered serious injuries on Sunday when an opposing player allegedly stepped on his head after cross-check-ing him to the ground, still doesn’t know if he has a broken bone in his neck.

An exhausted-looking Blake Rose spoke brie� y with a Kamloops news-paper reporter outside his family’s Kamloops home on Tuesday after-noon.

The 15-year-old, who plays on the midget B Kamloops Rattlers lacrosse team, was hurt during Sunday’s game against the Kelowna Kodiaks at Me-morial Arena.

According to Kamloops RCMP, a

Kelowna player cross-checked Rose and knocked him to the ground.

Police say the Kelowna player then “stomped” on Rose’s head.

He was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital, and has been in a neck brace since.

“It’s still painful,” Rose said, de-clining to take part in an on-camera interview.

He said doctors still haven’t con-� rmed the extent of his injuries.

Blake’s father, Patrick Rose, told CTV News he still can’t believe he watched his teenage son’s head get stomped on during a lacrosse game over the weekend.

Patrick Rose told CTV News the extent of his 15-year-old son Blake’s injuries is unknown, but that he will be in a neck brace for the next week.

“I was in shock. I’d never seen anything like that in my life in sports,” Patrick Rose said. “The kid stood over him, looked at him and stomped on his head.”

The Kelowna Minor Lacrosse As-sociation has suspended the player in-volved inde� nitely—though Rose says he would still like him to face as-sault charges.

“I feel sorry for my son and I feel sorry for lacrosse because it will give it the reputation it doesn’t deserve, un-fortunately,” Patrick Rose said.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said Mounties are now inves-tigating and will determine whether or not criminal charges will be sought against the Kelowna player alleged to have injured Rose.

“There has to be some reasonable

action taken if the contact was outside the norm for what is expected in that sport,” he said.

Learned said the Kelowna play-er could potentially face assault char-ges, depending on what the investiga-tion uncovers.

Kelowna Minor Lacrosse Associ-ation president Clint Alexander said he couldn’t offer any details about the incident, but said the suspect Kelow-na player won’t be suiting up any time soon.

“I’m aware of this incident and I’m not free to comment,” he said.

“The player in question from Ke-lowna has been suspended inde� n-itely.”

Alexander said the player’s eligi-bility will be reviewed once investiga-tions by the Kelowna Minor Lacrosse

Association and the RCMP have con-cluded.

Kamloops Minor Lacrosse Asso-ciation president Ellie Bradley is also remaining tight-lipped.

“I will not comment on the details of this incident as it is under police in-vestigation,” she said in an email to Kamloops This Week, after repeated attempts to contact her. “I have been in contact with the player’s family. Everyone involved with Kamloops Minor Lacrosse is thinking of them at this time, and we pray that this young man will have a full recovery.”

The investigation is ongoing, and police are looking to speak to anyone who was present at Sunday’s game.

Anyone with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Kelowna youth suspended after head stomping incident

Judie SteevesSTAFF REPORTER

A mule deer doe and her two little fawns are of-fering thanks today to the Conservation Of� cer Ser-vice for a sleep and free-dom.

Calls to the COs over the past week regarding a doe whose back end was all tangled up in wire were to no avail when of� cers were unable to � nd the animal in trouble.

The young family was pictured in the area of Knox Mountain Park in the city’s north end, but the doe was mobile enough to be able to stay out of the way of people—even those intent on help-ing her.

Until Wednesday, that is.

Tanner Beck, a new CO working in the Ke-lowna of� ce for the sum-mer, had recently com-pleted his training on how to use the tranquilizer gun available to subdue prob-lem wildlife for transport.

THIS MULE DEER doe got tangled up in someone’s tomato cage until conservation of� cers caught up and got her untangled, while her fawns kept an eye on things.

ED SEITZ/CONTRIBUTOR

CONSERVATION OFFICER Tanner Beck snips the wire ensnaring this mule deer momma near Knox Mountain Park, after he tranquilized it.

So when they got a cur-rent report on the where-abouts of the doe and her twins, CO Ed Seitz and Beck headed off to see if they could help out.

Under Seitz’s experi-enced eye, Beck � red the tranquilizer dart into the deer and then proceeded

to snip away the wire tan-gled in her back legs and hips. Seitz said while they were working the fawns were not overly con-cerned, although they did dart away and then back again.

The ensnaring stuff turned out to be the stiff

wire from a tomato cage the deer had picked up somewhere in her travels.

Alistair WatersASSISTANT EDITOR

A Westbank woman has joined a lawsuit aimed at giving Canadians the right to physician-assisted suicide.

Gloria Taylor, 63, was diagnosed with ALS, popu-larly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, 18 months ago.

Taylor said as a long-time believer in an individual’s right to decide when to end their life, she wanted to be part of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association’s challenge to Canada’s assisted suicide law.

“I will die with dignity,” vowed Taylor, whose con-dition is terminal. “When we win (the legal challenge), all Canadians will have the right to die with dignity if they are terminally ill.”

Taylor said she considered launching her own legal challenge last year but did not know where to start. So, when she heard about the BCCLA lawsuit, launched in April, she wanted to be named as a plaintiff in that case.

On Tuesday, she petitioned the B.C. Supreme Court to have her name added to the lawsuit.

Taylor said her condition has been deteriorating and at a news conference in Vancouver Tuesday, said her doctors have said she has a year left to live.

Despite her condition, she has a walker, as well as a motorized wheelchair, and tries to walk a little every day, refusing to allow her condition to rob her of her re-maining mobility. She said she has lost the use of her hands but overall is doing as well as a person with ALS can expect. “I thank God for every day I have left,” she told the Capital News.

Despite the pain she faces all the time, Taylor said she is determined to help others win the right to die with dignity. And she is doing so with another well-known Canadian right-to-die advocate in mind.

Eighteen years ago Victoria’s Sue Rodriquez, an-other ALS sufferer, unsuccessfully petitioned Canada’s Supreme Court for the right to a physician-assisted sui-cide. The court ruled against Rodriguez’s request by a slim 5-4 margin. Four months later Rodriguez died at her home with the help of an anonymous physician. No one was ever charged in her death.

Taylor said she is carrying the torch lit by the Victo-ria woman. “In my mind, Sue Rodriquez was a hero,” said Taylor. “Eighteen years ago it was defeated by just one vote (the 5-4 ruling). This time we are going to win.”

The case is currently before the B.C. Supreme Court and if denied, it would have to go to the B.C. Court of Appeals before a possible return to the Supreme Court of Canada. Taylor said she hopes the case does not have to go that far. But if it does, she is prepared.

“I have a plan B,” she said about her plans to end her life on her terms.

Next week’s Westside Daze will feature a parade as always, but a new tradi-tion may begin this year by honouring outstanding members of the commu-nity as Parade Marshal.

The Westside Daze committee announced Wednesday that Peter Klein will be the � rst to take the position, largely because of his volunteer duties and of course bak-ing cakes for the last doz-en or so Westside Daze events until this year.

Committee spokesper-son Wayne Moore says they wanted to focus the spotlight on someone who has been unheralded in his community efforts.

“It’s not just (the cakes),” Moore says.

“He is iconic on the Westside for what he has done…and how he has bene� tted the community over his career.

“There’s not many people on the Westside, who have lived there for any length of time, don’t know him from the cakes he has baked for private and community endeav-ours.

Klein has of� cially re-tired as a baker and trained someone to take over the duties of designing and baking the massive cake.

As parade marshal, he will lead the parade ahead of local politicians and dignitaries.

This is the � rst year the committee has named

a marshal and Moore says it’s something he would personally like to see con-tinue as an honour to local volunteers and celebrities.

He said this year’s events include rides by Westcoast Amusements, Elvis and Eagles tribute bands and more.

While there are a few changes this year, Moore says they are holding the line on the important things.

“If there’s one thing about this event that we are all really pleased with it’s that this is a family friendly event and we are still able to ensure it is en-tirely free,” he said.

Past Canada Day cake baker takes on new role

MARSHALL JONES/CONTRIBUTOR

PETER KLEIN, retired now but who in past years had taken on the task of baking the huge Canada Day cake for Westside Daze, has been named the marshal for this year’s annual parade.

Kelowna is reminding its property owners that 2011 property taxes are due Monday.

To avoid an immedi-ate � ve per cent penal-ty on all money owning, this year’s property taxes must be paid by midnight, Monday, July 4. And that means delivered to City Hall, not in the mail. Post-marks are not accepted as proof of payment.

The city says while Canada Post has resumed operations after its two week labour dispute, res-idents are cautioned that property tax payments re-ceived in the mail after July 4 will be subject to the late payment penalty.

And it says as the pay-

ment deadline approach-es, the lineup at City Hall is expected to get lon-ger. Residents can avoid the lineup by making ar-rangements with their � -nancial institutions for on-line or pay in-person.

“Taxes can be paid in person at City Hall or at banking institutions,” said George King, revenue manager for the city.

“City Hall closes at 4 p.m., however, we have deposit boxes available at our front entrance, as well as the Doyle Avenue park-ing lot exit and at the Par-kinson Recreation Cen-tre.” The deposit boxes will be emptied at mid-night on July 4.

Property taxes can be paid by cash, cheque, money order or debit card.

And don’t forget to claim the home own-

er grant if it is applica-ble to you. If you do not, the amount of the grant will be included in the to-tal and the penalty will be applicable to the total.

The immediate pen-alty is not the only one to worry about if you do not pay on time.

A further � ve per cent penalty will be added if property taxes are not paid by Aug. 3. The penalties are legislated under the Community Charter and therefore are not discre-tionary.

For more informa-tion, call the city’s revenue branch at 250-469-8757 or visit the Kelowna web-site at kelowna.ca/proper-tytax.

Property owners in West Kelowna will get a little more time to pay their taxes this year.

Tax deadlines pending for local property owners

West Kelowna coun-cillor Gord Milsom is eas-ily West Kelowna’s most ef� cient elected of� cial, according to new � gures released by the municipal-

ity on Tuesday. Once a year, munici-

palities are required to re-lease mayor and council remuneration along with all employees making over $75,000 a year.

While Milsom took home the exact same $20,649 as his fellow councillors, he only billed the district $271 in ex-penses, about 10 times less than Coun. Duane Ophus, the second lowest biller. Couns. Carol Zanon and David Knowles billed the most at $6,275 and $5,297 respectively. Mayor Doug Findlater makes $60,757 and billed $4,546.

For staff, administra-tor Jason Johnson topped the salary list at just over $153,000.

On the list of 42 em-ployees cracking that $75,000 per year plateau, 27 were � re� ghters.

paid by end of business July 7. Like Kelowna, in West Kelowna, taxes and homeowner grant appli-cations must be received at the municipal of� ce by the deadline to avoid an immediate 10 per cent penalty on the total out-standing amount.

In Lake Country prop-erty taxes are due by 6 p.m. on July 4 and in Peachland and on West-bank First Nation land the deadline is 4 p.m. on July 4.

Property owners in the two rural electoral areas of the Central Okanagan Re-gional District, Okanagan East and West, pay their property taxes directly to the province.

Their deadline is also July 4 and taxes can be paid at most � nancial in-stitutions, through their mortgage agreement, by Internet or telephone banking or by mail to the Surveyor of Taxes, P.O. Box 9446, Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9V6.

HOW TO ROAST RED PEPPER ON THE GRILL: Place a clean, fresh red pepper directly on the grill top. Turn your pepper frequently, as needed until the skin has turned completely black & starts to blister. When the entire pepper skin has turned black, remove the pepper from the grill & place it into a bowl. Cover the bowl with an airtight lid. Allow the peppers to steam in the airtight container for 10 - 15 minutes. Uncover, removed from the bowl (or bag) & the red pepper skin will slide off easily. Cut the pepper in half to core & remove seeds. Delicious!

cal school districts’ hands in 1994.

“We’ve got two months for people to con-sider where they want this to go,” she said.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has said job action would start with teachers refusing to do administrative duties but continuing classroom teachings, though Rees said she is hopeful meet-ings and bargaining con-tinues over the summer.

Teachers have seen the provincial demands for concessions on classroom supports and feel it’s time to take a stand, she noted.

The bene� t package and an attempt by govern-ment to remove seniority-style hiring and advance-

ment—a key job security feature from the BCTF’s viewpoint—with a skills-based best � t system are also among the key dick-ering points.

“They are suggesting that teachers who have dedicated their lives are somehow not worthy of consideration or security,” said Rees.

All of that said, the union representative said learning conditions re-main the top priority for teachers at the moment, particularly given the re-cent Supreme Court deci-sion stating the province violated teachers’ rights by stripping bargaining on class size and compos-ition from the collective agreement.

In the meantime, Cen-tral Okanagan School Dis-

trict superintendent Hugh Gloster said the school district is prepared to deal with any changes the Sep-tember job action may bring.

“We’re going to be ob-viously watching to see what comes out of all of this,” said Gloster.

“We’re meeting with administrators to go over plans and ensure they get

prepared for this.”Gloster said the meet-

ings will take place now and near the end of Au-gust and that the district is anticipating staff from the school district might need to step in to cover off things like out-of-class-time supervision.

Efforts to contact the Central Okanagan Parent Advisory Council went unanswered at press time on Wednesday.

This spring, the local board of education opt-ed to go around the par-ent lobby group until such time as it can start to mus-ter enough parent support to be considered a viable lobby group representa-tive of parents’ voices.

School district to prepare for shutdown


Imagine if a coal com-pany were to sudden-ly decide the top of Knox Mountain should be lopped off to make room for a mining operation.

Sound like the Canada you would want?

This year’s Canada Day extravaganza will debut a piece of a Can-adian artist’s exhibition designed to get the people down at Tugboat Bay, and everywhere along the waterfront, thinking about what it means to be Can-adian, what this great land is all about and how we, as citizens, should try to pre-serve it.

“It’s about consump-tion,” explained Winnipeg native Jarod Charzewski.

The college instruct-or is now living in South Carolina where moun-taintop removal coal min-ing is destroying resplen-dent mountain ranges that make Knox look like a mole hill.

Charzewski’s art uses old clothes from consign-ment operations like the Salvation Army to build depictions of the beauti-ful landscapes he comes across and point out what the type of overconsump-tion we’ve become so ac-customed to does to these vistas.

When he started work-ing with the material—old pants, sweaters, T-shirts and such—he discovered even the consignment shops aren’t particularly environmentally friend-ly as the clothing which is donated, but doesn’t sell in the non-pro� t or-ganizations’ stores, aren’t just given away; the items are destroyed to ensure people will take the time to buy them up rather than wait for them to be given away free.

“I hope the piece will help people just look at that thing they have and think, can I get a few more days out of this T-shirt?” said Charzeski.

But � rst they’ll have to � gure out what the strange trailer of clothing/Knox Mountain top is as it sits in Tugboat Bay.

One of the more unique elements to this year’s Canada Day Festiv-ities, Charzewski’s second hand Knox top will be part of a GeoTag Art pro-ject the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is putting on this year.

Passersby will be able to use their smart phones to log on and � nd out what the installation is all about (www.geotagart.com) and can then consider stop-ping by the gallery in the Rotary Centre for the Arts to see the rest of the cloth-

ing that builds the base of Knox.

For those who might prefer to stick to the more mainstream events, the downtown waterfront will be a hopping celebration again this year.

“Every year we all get a little nostalgic about the wonderful place we call home. It’s a time when we can’t quite put our � nger on the emotion, but then it dawns on us that as Can-adians we have so much to be thankful for and proud of,” said Renata Mills, executive director of Fes-tivals Kelowna and the mastermind behind the lo-cal public celebration.

A Westbank woman has joined a lawsuit aimed at giving Canadians the right to physician-assisted suicide.

Gloria Taylor, 63, was diagnosed with ALS, popu-larly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, 18 months ago.

Taylor said as a long-time believer in an individual’s right to decide when to end their life, she wanted to be part of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association’s challenge to Canada’s assisted suicide law.

“I will die with dignity,” vowed Taylor, whose con-dition is terminal. “When we win (the legal challenge), all Canadians will have the right to die with dignity if they are terminally ill.”

Taylor said she considered launching her own legal challenge last year but did not know where to start. So, when she heard about the BCCLA lawsuit, launched in April, she wanted to be named as a plaintiff in that case.

On Tuesday, she petitioned the B.C. Supreme Court to have her name added to the lawsuit.

Taylor said her condition has been deteriorating and at a news conference in Vancouver Tuesday, said her doctors have said she has a year left to live.

Despite her condition, she has a walker, as well as a motorized wheelchair, and tries to walk a little every day, refusing to allow her condition to rob her of her re-maining mobility. She said she has lost the use of her hands but overall is doing as well as a person with ALS can expect. “I thank God for every day I have left,” she told the Capital News.

Despite the pain she faces all the time, Taylor said she is determined to help others win the right to die with dignity. And she is doing so with another well-known Canadian right-to-die advocate in mind.

Eighteen years ago Victoria’s Sue Rodriquez, an-other ALS sufferer, unsuccessfully petitioned Canada’s Supreme Court for the right to a physician-assisted sui-cide. The court ruled against Rodriguez’s request by a slim 5-4 margin. Four months later Rodriguez died at her home with the help of an anonymous physician. No one was ever charged in her death.

Taylor said she is carrying the torch lit by the Victo-ria woman. “In my mind, Sue Rodriquez was a hero,” said Taylor. “Eighteen years ago it was defeated by just one vote (the 5-4 ruling). This time we are going to win.”

The case is currently before the B.C. Supreme Court and if denied, it would have to go to the B.C. Court of Appeals before a possible return to the Supreme Court of Canada. Taylor said she hopes the case does not have to go that far. But if it does, she is prepared.

“I have a plan B,” she said about her plans to end her life on her terms.


Next week’s Westside Daze will feature a parade as always, but a new tradi-tion may begin this year by honouring outstanding members of the commu-nity as Parade Marshal.

The Westside Daze committee announced Wednesday that Peter Klein will be the � rst to take the position, largely because of his volunteer duties and of course bak-ing cakes for the last doz-en or so Westside Daze events until this year.

Committee spokesper-son Wayne Moore says they wanted to focus the spotlight on someone who has been unheralded in his community efforts.

“It’s not just (the cakes),” Moore says.

“He is iconic on the Westside for what he has done…and how he has bene� tted the community over his career.

“There’s not many people on the Westside, who have lived there for any length of time, don’t know him from the cakes he has baked for private and community endeav-ours.

Klein has of� cially re-tired as a baker and trained someone to take over the duties of designing and baking the massive cake.

As parade marshal, he will lead the parade ahead of local politicians and dignitaries.

This is the � rst year the committee has named

a marshal and Moore says it’s something he would personally like to see con-tinue as an honour to local volunteers and celebrities.

He said this year’s events include rides by Westcoast Amusements, Elvis and Eagles tribute bands and more.

While there are a few changes this year, Moore says they are holding the line on the important things.

“If there’s one thing about this event that we are all really pleased with it’s that this is a family friendly event and we are still able to ensure it is en-tirely free,” he said.

Past Canada Day cake baker takes on new role

MARSHALL JONES/CONTRIBUTOR

PETER KLEIN, retired now but who in past years had taken on the task of baking the huge Canada Day cake for Westside Daze, has been named the marshal for this year’s annual parade.

Kelowna is reminding its property owners that 2011 property taxes are due Monday.

To avoid an immedi-ate � ve per cent penal-ty on all money owning, this year’s property taxes must be paid by midnight, Monday, July 4. And that means delivered to City Hall, not in the mail. Post-marks are not accepted as proof of payment.

The city says while Canada Post has resumed operations after its two week labour dispute, res-idents are cautioned that property tax payments re-ceived in the mail after July 4 will be subject to the late payment penalty.

And it says as the pay-

ment deadline approach-es, the lineup at City Hall is expected to get lon-ger. Residents can avoid the lineup by making ar-rangements with their � -nancial institutions for on-line or pay in-person.

“Taxes can be paid in person at City Hall or at banking institutions,” said George King, revenue manager for the city.

“City Hall closes at 4 p.m., however, we have deposit boxes available at our front entrance, as well as the Doyle Avenue park-ing lot exit and at the Par-kinson Recreation Cen-tre.” The deposit boxes will be emptied at mid-night on July 4.

Property taxes can be paid by cash, cheque, money order or debit card.

And don’t forget to claim the home own-

er grant if it is applica-ble to you. If you do not, the amount of the grant will be included in the to-tal and the penalty will be applicable to the total.

The immediate pen-alty is not the only one to worry about if you do not pay on time.

A further � ve per cent penalty will be added if property taxes are not paid by Aug. 3. The penalties are legislated under the Community Charter and therefore are not discre-tionary.

For more informa-tion, call the city’s revenue branch at 250-469-8757 or visit the Kelowna web-site at kelowna.ca/proper-tytax.

Tax deadlines pending for local property owners

West Kelowna coun-cillor Gord Milsom is eas-ily West Kelowna’s most ef� cient elected of� cial, according to new � gures released by the municipal-

ity on Tuesday. Once a year, munici-

palities are required to re-lease mayor and council remuneration along with all employees making over $75,000 a year.

While Milsom took home the exact same $20,649 as his fellow councillors, he only billed the district $271 in ex-penses, about 10 times less than Coun. Duane Ophus, the second lowest biller. Couns. Carol Zanon and David Knowles billed the most at $6,275 and $5,297 respectively. Mayor Doug Findlater makes $60,757 and billed $4,546.

For staff, administra-tor Jason Johnson topped the salary list at just over $153,000.

On the list of 42 em-ployees cracking that $75,000 per year plateau, 27 were � re� ghters.

paid by end of business July 7. Like Kelowna, in West Kelowna, taxes and homeowner grant appli-cations must be received at the municipal of� ce by the deadline to avoid an immediate 10 per cent penalty on the total out-standing amount.

In Lake Country prop-erty taxes are due by 6 p.m. on July 4 and in Peachland and on West-bank First Nation land the deadline is 4 p.m. on July 4.

Property owners in the two rural electoral areas of the Central Okanagan Re-gional District, Okanagan East and West, pay their property taxes directly to the province.

Their deadline is also July 4 and taxes can be paid at most � nancial in-stitutions, through their mortgage agreement, by Internet or telephone banking or by mail to the Surveyor of Taxes, P.O. Box 9446, Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9V6.

GARDENING SOCIAL… Harmony House volunteers Bev, Rachael and Elaine put some � nal touches on the new vegetable garden they helped plant at the women’s recovery house facility in Kelowna. A number of local businesses and community groups helped make the garden installation possible.

By special proclama-tion, the City of Kelowna has given its support to the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival put on by the Kel-owna Dragon Boat Club.

The Kelowna Dragon Boat Club, which is in its 12th season, began the an-nual July festival � ve years ago as a one-day women’s only race as a vehicle for some fun and mid-season activity for the women’s teams.

The festival further ex-panded to include junior and masters teams two years ago.

“Due to demand from our club members, and those from visiting teams, we decided last year to in-clude mixed teams of all ages,” said KDBC presi-dent Deb Champion.

“I’m also thrilled to re-port that due to the pop-ularity of our festival, we’ve had to expand it to two days for the � rst time this year.”

The festival will be opened by the traditional dragon dance, performed by the members.

Also included will be a beer garden, Taiko drum-mers and several other cultural activities.

“Dragon boating is a fantastic spectator sport,” remarks Champion. “The races are short, two to three minutes, and excit-ing. We urge the public to come on down and see what we are all about.”

Dragon boating is an ancient Chinese sport spanning 2,000 years.

It consists of 20 pad-dlers, a drummer and a steerer, often referred to as “22 hearts beating as one.”

The Kelowna Drag-on Boat Festival runs on Saturday, July 9, and Sun-day, July 10, at Waterfront Park. For more informa-tion about the club or the festival, see www.kel-ownadragonboatclub.com or call 250-491-1961.

District of West Kel-owna councillors may be behind the wheel of their own bus services, but they still can’t seem to � gure out which way to turn.

Faced with either big-ger bills for greater service or scaling back to keep budgets in line, council-lors opted for neither in lieu of more information.

After an open house two weeks ago to hear from transit riders, along with written comments and an earful from lo-cal high school students, councillors are looking for a way around three lev-els of service proposed by B.C. Transit.

That would include leaving it like it is, cutting service to Smith Creek, Bear Creek and Hori-zon neighborhoods and a more severe cut that would see just the most popular

Glenrosa route kept along with the new Bus Rapid Transit addition.

Bus Rapid Transit would connect Westbank to UBC Okanagan along Highway 97 through Kel-owna with limited stops and frequent service.

Instead, councillors challenged B.C. Transit to try again and use new roads they perhaps were unaware of, such as As-quith Road which con-nects Shannon Lake to Smith Creek.

“It seems obvious to

me that the reason we can’t come to a decision is we don’t like anything in front of us,” said Coun. Duane Ophus.

“Can we make Smith Creek more viable by ex-tending through Asquith Road…to come up with what I would call option four.”

It’s unclear exactly what council’s no-decision decision will have on the rapid transit plan. Transit of� cials said they needed a decision by early August but district staff said that

was probably not enough time to come up with a fourth option.

B.C. Transit’s rec-ommendation would cut the total cost of transit in West Kelowna by about $900,000 per year.

Of the total $3.6 mil-lion cost of transit here, the municipality currently pays about $1.4 million.

That � gure is likely to drop to about $1.2 million after recent negotiations between the municipality and B.C. Transit.

The two organizations left it hoping to get togeth-er sometime soon.

“This council and this staff is new to transit,” said Mayor Doug Findlater.

“And we are devel-oping more understand-ing and literacy on tran-sit issues. It impacts on peoples’ lives. We have to � nd the money some-where…chopping the routes doesn’t strike me as the best way to do that.”

simply trying to protect his kids,” said Fogarty.

“Dain Phillips’ sons were in a dispute with the McCrae brothers who were associated with Norm Cocks of the Hells Angels…(they) were or-dinary citizens in a dispute with the wrong people.”

While there’s no infor-mation on what prompt-ed the dispute, police say Phillips set up a meeting so both parties could dis-cuss and work out their differences and put an end to threats that had been es-calating in recent weeks.

That plan went off course when, en route to the meeting, Phillips car crossed paths with the oth-er two other vehicles and a decision was made to pull over at the vacant intersec-tion.

“Mr. Phillips comes up with his hands raised and everyone gets out of the vehicle,” said Fogarty, explaining there were two vehicles with seven pas-

sengers on the McCrae brothers side, and there were three from the Phil-lips in one car.

The six-foot-three man then faced a torrent of blows from bats, ham-mers and other weapons that police have chosen not to disclose.

With the 51-year-old on the ground, suffering from his injuries, the sev-en men piled back into the two cars.

Phillips was trans-ported to Kelowna Gen-eral Hospital and died the next day as a result of his injuries, with his wife and family at his side.

While no one from the family has made a state-ment, Phillips’ obituary reads; “Dad could be best characterized as a hard working man with a lust for life, and he was a fam-ily man in every sense of the term. Dad served his family with all of his huge heart up until the minute he died.”

However, as the Phil-lips family faced their struggles in the days fol-lowing the deadly beating, investigators got a break.

“We had 60 investiga-tors working on this case,” said Supt. Bill McKinnon, noting that it was when Combine Forces investi-gators realized a crossover from one of their � les and the RCMP case, things came together.

One of the seven al-leged killers, police re-vealed, is believed to be connected to the gangland style, drive-by shooting last year on Leon Avenue and Abbott Street.

Last September, in what appeared to be a

failed hit on a 27 year old Edmonton man witnesses reported seeing an older, dark coloured SUV pulled up beside a Grey Nissan sedan, � ring numerous shots.

By the time Mounties arrived both vehicles had � ed, but police located the Nissan a short while later at Kelowna General Hos-pital, where the 27-year-old driver was being treat-ed for a non life-threaten-ing gunshot wound.

The victim, who was known for criminal code and drug related offences, and was later released, of-fering little information to police.

The suspect vehi-cle was later recovered, burned, in West Kelow-na and, from a public per-spective, little has hap-pened since.

It may have faded fur-ther into memory, but to get the Phillips case squared away police had to show a bit of their hand.

“Throughout the prov-ince, CFSEU’s chief ob-

jective is to preserve pub-lic safety and to disrupt organized criminal activi-ty that negatively impacts the lives of ordinary citi-zens whether that’s in Van-couver or Kelowna,” said Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit’s chief of� cer, Supt. Doug Kiloh.

“The � nal outcome here is that our communities are safer as a result of these latest arrests.”

The Kelowna Hells Angels was the most re-cent chapter sanctioned in British Columbia.

The club was of� cial-ly established in 2007, al-

though members were ac-tive in Kelowna prior to that date.

The Throttle Lockers is considered by law en-forcement as a support club to the Kelowna Hells Angels. They received their “patch” in 2009.

To the editor:Re: NDP Leader Pleads His Case in

Kelowna for Rejecting the HST, June 24 Capital News.

All well and dandy to criticize the HST but the NDP’s call for a return to the old tax system is a step backward.

The cost of going back is nonsense and we, the taxpayers, will have to pick up that cost.

If any government needs more money to run the province there is only one

source—us—the taxpayers.And there is nothing stopping the gov-

ernment from raising the PST to make up for the short fall.

While I certainly didn’t like the way the HST was brought in, I believe the people of B.C. have made there point by getting rid of the former premier.

Enough said.

To the editor:Re: Accountant Makes A

Case For Keeping The Har-monized Sales Tax, June 28 Capital News.

I am incensed that a person with a profession-al designation of Certi� ed General Accountant uses an example of manufacturing a desk accumulating 21 per cent provincial sales tax.

This was an argument previously used, even by MLAs, to promote the HST but which has no basis in fact. PST was never charged on raw materials or complet-ed products intended for re-sale.

In the example given the logger never paid PST on the log, the mill never paid PST to the logger and the desk manufacturer never paid PST on the milled product as in each instance the product was for resale.

Yes, the logger may have paid PST on his truck, and the mill and desk manufac-turer may have paid PST on their equipment but, being in business, they could write off that PST as part of the asset cost against their corporate income tax.

The suggestion of an ever escalating PST to a level of 21 per cent is ridiculous, al-

though certainly the desk will cost way more than the cost of the wood.

I urge Ms. Banka to issue, if not a retraction, a clari� ca-tion as would be worthy of her profession and encour-age her to research the B.C. Consumer Taxation bulletins for PST which remain avail-able on the B.C. govern-ment website. There remains enough confusion around this issue without throwing another “log” on the � re.

Open letter to Dan Albas, Okanagan-Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla:

I would like to ac-knowledge � rst that your hands are tied regarding the debate in the House of Commons regarding the Canada Post labour dis-pute. Obviously, the of� -cial position of the Con-servative Party of Can-ada is not crafted, or at least not crafted entirely,

by you. With this said, and as-

suming that your state-ments are from the heart and not just a public state-ment validating a vote you are obligated to make, I have a frustration to air with your position.

As you have men-tioned yourself, in Can-ada there are certain rights which have become cornerstones of our dis-tinctly Canadian demo-

cratic system. The right to vote, access to health care, and access to a so-cial security program are all important parts of Can-adian identity. So, when I hear you acknowledge that your party’s legis-lation raises “legitimate concerns about the right to strike,” and then choose to support the bill anyway, I hear you equating the right to strike in Canada with the right to have your

post delivered quickly. This is deeply upset-

ting to me. While I, like all Can-

adians, appreciate get-ting my mail in a time-ly manner, there are cer-tain parts of our Canadian political system—indeed, cornerstones of that sys-tem—that I do not think are equatable with get-ting mail delivered in less than two weeks. The right to strike is one of these

cornerstones.In conclusion, MP

Albas, I would like very much if you would (adjust your position) in a way that gives the democratic institutions of Canada the respect they deserve. The right to strike is not equat-able to the “right to speedy mail,” and I’d like to hear you acknowledge that.

Rather than PST being charged on � rst the log, then again on the sawn wood and yet a third time on the manufactured desk; what would actually happen is the sawmill would buy the log PST-exempt from the logger as a raw material and in turn the desk manufactur-er would buy the sawn wood PST-exempt from the sawmill as a raw material.

Only when the desk was sold to the end user would PST be payable.

Bringing home a new baby is a joyous and ex-citing time for parents, but when that little bundle of joy won’t stop crying those same parents often � nd themselves sleep de-prived, frustrated and wondering what is wrong with their child.

“There is actually a normal time in a baby’s life when they cry much more than any other time,” said Patty Hallam, pre-vention services program consultant for early child-hood development.

“It begins around two weeks of age and con-tinues to around three to four months. Some babies cry more than others but most babies go through it.”

This common stage of infant development has a name—The Period of PURPLE Crying.

The acronym PUR-PLE is used to describe

what parents can expect at this stage:

Peak of crying—the crying peaks at around two months of age and then begins to decrease gradually.

Unexpected—crying can come and go and you don’t know why.

Resists soothing—a baby may not stop crying no matter what you try.

Pain-like face—babies may look like they are in pain even when they are not.

Long lasting—crying can last as much as � ve hours a day or more.

Evening—crying is more common in the late afternoon or evening.

This stage can be very challenging for parents who don’t understand why their baby won’t stop crying.

Shaken baby syn-drome is closely linked to the period of PURPLE

crying; it’s a serious and potentially life threatening condition resulting from the brain bouncing back and forth against the skull when a child is shaken.

“There have been in-cidents where frustrated parents shake their child in an effort to get them to stop crying,” said Hallam.

“It is important to know that this is a very dangerous practice and permanent damage to the baby can occur from as little as � ve seconds of shaking.”

Maternity and pub-lic health nurses within Interior Health, through their involvement with the province-wide Period of PURPLE Crying Preven-tion Program, have made it their mission to make sure parents and care-givers know the period of PURPLE crying is nor-mal and there are things they can do to cope.

When a baby is born Interior Health maternity nurses and/or midwives provide parents with a DVD that explains this phase.

Public health nurs-es follow up once parents are home with their new-born to reinforce the mes-sage, make sure parents have viewed the DVD and answer any questions they may have.

Their work, and the work of nurses province-wide, is making a differ-ence in eliminating shak-en baby syndrome.

In 2010, interim evalu-ation results from the provincial Period of PUR-PLE Crying Prevention Program show a 31 per cent reduction in visits to B.C. Children’s Hospital Emergency Room for cry-ing complaints involving infants up to six months of age.

“Knowing PUPRLE

crying is a normal stage that will pass can make things a bit easier, said Hallam.

“It also helps to know what you can do in the moment to cope with your emotions and keep your baby safe.”

Hallam stresses it is important for parents to make sure they take a break.

She offers the follow-ing suggestions:• If you have a partner, tag team with them and take turns looking after the child.• Call on a trusted friend or relative to come and care for baby while you take some time for yourself.• Place the baby in a safe place, such as their crib, and leave the room for a few moments.

Parents and caregivers can � nd more information at the website www.pur-plecrying.info.

For almost 20 years, audiences have been wooed each Summer by Shakespeare Kelowna’s productions of William Shakespeare’s best works whether in city parks or at local wineries.

The Shakespeare Kel-owna Theatre Society has been attracting some of the brightest talent in the Okanagan, winning awards and accolades and presenting fun and enter-taining shows as well as introducing theatre goers to great venues and views and this year is no excep-tion.

“We have joined forc-es with the Okanagan Vil-la Estate Winery, home of the Vibrant Vine wine to present an amazing world class presentation of The Merry Wives of Wind-sor, Shakespeare’s fun and hilarious story of the ‘bawdy’ Falstaff and his attempt to woo the wives of the richest men in the town,” said the show’s producer, Joe Williams.

The relationship be-tween Okanagan Villa Es-tate Winery and Shake-speare Kelowna started last year after the critical-ly acclaimed Hamlet was presented at the Mary Ir-win Theatre.

“The spectacular views, and warm atmo-sphere of Okanagan Vil-la Estate Winery is per-fect for our Summertime Shows,” said play director Stephen Jefferys.

“We are building a large stage, and have placed the show in the pe-riod, complete with ornate costumes, music and tre-mendous performances.”

The cast is an amaz-ing collection of some of the best actors in the city alongside the expe-rienced and knowledge-able Shakespeare Kelow-na production crew, with the stage production set at the picturesque Okanagan Villa Estate Winery.

The production starts July 13 and runs ev-ery Wednesday through Saturday evenings until July 30. The show starts promptly at 7 p.m. so the audience should arrive early to get good seats.

Okanagan Villa Es-tate Winery has an area for picnics and encourag-es audience members to take advantage of it so as to experience everything this event has to offer.

Tickets are $25 and available through the Shakespeare Kelow-na website: www.shake-spearekelowna.org

Okanagan Villa Estate

Winery is located at 3240 Pooley Rd, in East Kel-owna and it’s easy to � nd.

Drive to top of KLO road, turn right at McCullouch Station Pub and contin-

ue up the hill overlooking the Harvest Golf Club and watch for a left turn onto

THE FIRST CANADA DAY

Most historians agree that two key events precipitated the creation of the Canadian Confederation. First of all, America was in the middle of a civil war, with the British Crown taking the side of the southern slave states. Confronted with this situation, the United States threatened to annexe Canada. From the American point of view, the unifi cation of all the British North American colonies would give them greater military and fi nancial striking power against England, the mother country.

Another key event was the end of the preferential tariff given by London to its colonies. In 1846, faced with the loss of this reciprocity treaty, Canada was forced to turn towards the United States for trade. A new reciprocity treaty was signed in 1854, this time with our neighbours to the south. It expired a short time later, in 1866, and was never renewed.

Following the loss of these two major trade markets, plans were made to unite the six independent colonies that formed British North America. On March 29, 1867, Queen Victoria approved the British North American Act, and the Dominion of Canada came into effect on July 1 of the same year.

CAPITAL NEWS

SPORTSWarren HendersonSTAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan Athlet-ics are on the way to their best � nish ever in the B.C. Premier Baseball League.

However, when it comes to what might have been, head coach Evan Bailey admits the 2011 campaign simply hasn’t unfolded the way he ex-pected.

Okanagan (19-20) is currently tied for sixth spot in the PBL with the Fraser Valley Chiefs, 3 1/2 games back of � fth-place Coquitlam and four back of fourth-place Parksville.

True, the A’s are an excellent bet to make the playoffs for the � rst time, but it’s been a frustrating season for the team and its head coach nonetheless.

Bailey has watched his club lose nine one-run games, many as the re-sult of a banged-up pitch-ing staff.

With three quality starters on the shelf with injuries—Jake Maters, Nolan Handley and Clint Heidbrecht—the A’s have battled through much of the last month with just three pitchers. Other pos-ition players have � lled in on the mound, including three catchers.

Before the season began, Bailey envisioned

a top-� ve � nish and as many as 30 wins for the A’s—but with just nine games left the club will be hard-pressed to get close to that.

“I’m not going to lie, personally it’s been a dis-appointing year,” said Bailey, who led the club to its previous high of 15 wins last season.

“I’m not disappointed in the kids at all, they’ve worked their butts off and have left it all out there. The outcomes just haven’t gone our way. I had six pitchers to start the year, now I have three. Most teams have nine or 10.

“We’ve been in so many tight games, but it’s tough to win when you get to the third and fourth games of the weekend and don’t have anyone left to pitch.”

The A’s are coming off a four-game split with the 11th-place Vancouver Cannons last weekend at Elks Stadium.

The home team had 17 hits in the series � nale, but Vancouver took advantage of a piecemeal Okanagan pitching staff for an 11-10 win on Sunday afternoon at Elks Stadium.

Still, there were a number of highlights for the A’s during the Van-couver series. On Satur-day, Jeff May (4-4) tossed

a four-hitter in a 2-1 win. On Sunday, Dillon Kako-shke had a season-high � ve RBIs in an 11-4 A’s win. In the 11-10 loss, Nathan Ackerman drove in four runs.

Also on the plus side,

the A’s are closing in on a playoff spot for the � rst time in the Kelowna-based club’s eight seasons in the PBL.

Bailey said the most likely of scenarios would see Okanagan � nish in

either sixth or seventh, resulting in a � rst-round playoff matchup on the Is-land with either the Vic-toria Mariners, Nanaimo Pirates or Parksville Roy-als.

“We’ve got some

games left to play, so we can still make something good out of this,” said Bailey. “The good thing is that if we can some-how get healthy, I’m not worried about playing any team in the league. Any-one in this league can beat anyone else and that in-cludes us. The guys have played hard and deserve a good � nish. I’m hoping we can have a good end to the season.”

This weekend, the A’s will be in Spokane for a 48-team tournament.

They’ll return to PBL action July 7 in North Delta for a make-up game with the Blue Jays.

The A’s will then head to Langley for four games against the Blaze July 9 and 10, before closing out the regular season July 16 and 17 at home to the Abbotsford Cardinals.

JUNIOR A’SLike their parent club,

the Okanagan junior A’s are getting ever closer to a post-season berth.

With eight games to play, the Athletics (20-20) are tied for sixth spot with the Victoria Mariners.

Eight teams will make the playoffs.

On July 9 and 10, Okanagan will travel to Vancouver for four games with the Cannons, then

will return home July 16 and 17 to close out the regular season with a pair of twin bills against the Victoria Mariners.

The junior A’s took three of four games from the Fraser Valley Chiefs last weekend at Lombar-dy.

In the opener, James Walker spun a three-hit-ter through six innings in a 2-1 A’s win.

In Game 2 Saturday, Eric McGinn pitched three innings of one-hit re-lief for his sixth win in an-other 2-1 victory.

On Sunday, Walk-er had three RBIs and Luke Cooke added two hits and two RBIs in a 6-4 win. Mike Tongue pitched three innings of one-hit re-lief for the victory.

The Kelowna Falcons spent their � rst day off in more than two weeks making an 11-hour bus trip to Bend, Ore. on Wednesday.

The West Coast League club headed south for the start of a three-game series against the Bend Elks on Thursday night.

The Falcons will then visit Klamath Falls for three games July 3 to 5, before returning to Ke-lowna for a six-game homestand.

The Falcons (5-16) hope they’ve turned the corner on a rough start to the 2011 season after taking two of three games from Walla Walla this week at Elks Stadium.

Kelowna won 1-0 on Sunday and 8-7 in 14 innings on Monday, before losing 6-2 in 10 in-nings on Tuesday.

Despite the club’s early strug-gles, head coach Al Cantwell sees a

light at the end of the tunnel.“It’s been a season of epic ups and downs,”

said Cantwell, “but we’re seeing some good

things happening, the guys are beginning to shake some of the doubt.

“A couple of hard-fought wins at home, those were team wins and character wins. We had a tough break and lost the last one, but the guys played hard. And if we keep playing that way we’re going to win some games.”

Injuries have taken their toll on the Fal-cons who have lost out� elder Blake Curruthers (wrist), shortstop Keaton Briscoe (severe shin splints), and pitcher Tyler Huffer (hernia).

The club has since added shortstop Keach Ballard from Texas who went 3-for-4 at the plate

on Tuesday.Through it all, the Falcons were only 2 1/2

games out of the second and � nal playoff berth in the East Division heading into Wednesday’s action.

“It’s a long season, we’ve got lots of games to play and we’re only a shadow out of second place,” said Cantwell. “If we can win a couple of games down here and not lose any ground, then it’ll set us up well for the rest of July when we play a lot of games at home.”

The Falcons next home action is Thursday, July 7 against the Corvallis Knights.

The Kelowna Rock-ets hope the experience of one Latvian player here will help them acquire an-other Latvian forward.

The Rockets select-ed Zemgus Girgensons of Riga, Latvia with one of two selections in the Can-adian Hockey League im-port draft on Wednesday.

Girgensons, 17, played last season in Dubuque of the United States Hock-ey League (Junior A) and, according to the Rock-ets, was expecting to go to college. But Rock-ets president/GM Bruce Hamilton says they will try to bring the 6-foot-1, 182 pound Girgensons to Kelowna.

“There are no guaran-tees but we’re going to go after him and recruit him,” said Hamilton. “We’re hoping we can convince him to come see us and understand the last Lat-vian player that played here had a pretty good ca-reer here.”

That was Lauris Dar-zins, also of Riga, who played two seasons in Ke-lowna before turning pro. Darzins spent the past three years in the KHL playing for Riga Dynamo.

In 51 games last year Girgensons had 49 points plus eight in 11 Dubuque playoff games. Rock-ets’ second pick was after Capital News deadline.

One of the top senior baseball tournaments in Western Canada is back on the diamond at Elks Stadium this weekend with the Eighth Annu-al Canada Day Baseball Blast.

The host Kelowna Jays opened the 12 team tournament Wednesday night against Parkland out of Alberta and will also play Prince George to-night (7 p.m.) and Coquit-lam Friday night (8 p.m.) in their three round robin games.

Top college players, ex professionals and sol-id journeymen players

are sprinkled through-out the rosters of the 12 teams that are competing for over $10,000 in prize money over the � ve day event.

Teams from around B.C., as well as from Al-berta and the US are en-tered in what appears to be a very competitive group.

The host Jays have an exciting young roster and should be competi-tive with the teams as they strive to win their own tournament for the � rst time.

The Jays are led by right-handed pitch-er Corey Wood, catcher

Cody Valgardson, short-stop Jared Johnson as well as local pitchers Kyle Monster and Dawson Newman.

The Jays also have a slick out� eld trio in Dar-ren Kolk, KP Hlatky, and Sebastian Wong.

Kelowna is coming off a stretch of six wins in their last eight games and are 20-12 on the current season so far.

The defending cham-pion Seattle Studs are back to defend their title from 2010 while three-time Blast winners the Burnaby Bulldogs are also in Kelowna and are the de-

The inaugural RBC GranFondo Kelowna is all set for Saturday, July 16.

The race will take 1,200 cyclists over a spec-tacular 120 km course, and going along for the ride will be over about 300 enthusiastic volunteers.

All along the course, volunteers from the com-munities around the Oka-nagan region will come together to support the rid-ers.

The RBC GranFon-do Kelowna is a great event to support a friend, family member or neigh-bour who is in the ride. It provides an opportunity to meet new people and enjoy the excitement and enthusiasm of a spectacu-lar event. There is a role for every interest—media, cheering, aid stations, merchandising, celebra-tions and many more.

As a thank you for all the hard work they put in, every volunteer receives refreshments for the day, a water bottle from RBC, a reference letter and a great lululemon souven-ir piece. When the volun-teers are done their shift they can celebrate right

by the beach with friends, family, and riders, soak-ing in a beautiful Okanag-an day and enjoying food, wine, and camaraderie.

The RBC GranFondo Kelowna will showcase the beauty of the Oka-nagan and like the event

in Whistler, people from all over B.C. will come to ride, volunteer and enjoy the area to make the event a huge success.

Kelly Wolverton chooses not to get caught up in the numbers, the various playoff scenar-ios, or which teams need to beat which teams over the last three weeks of the Paci� c Coast Soccer League season.

Plain and simple, the Okanagan Challenge need only be concerned with what they can control in their bid for the fourth and � nal playoff spot.

“I’ve told the guys we need to go out and try win our last two games,” said Wolverton, the Chal-lenge’s head coach.

“There’s no need to concern ourselves with anything else. We’ll take care of what we can, then see if that’s good enough.”

points back of Victoria United for the fourth and � nal playoff spot.

Victoria has three games remaining against Vancouver, Surrey and Mid Isle.

“It’s a tough league where pretty much any-body can beat anybody else,” Wolverton said.

“It’s exciting to watch but nerve-wracking at the same time.”

The Challenge will

have this weekend off be-fore preparing for their last two matches, a welcome break for entire club.

“We played three weekends in a row, six games in all, so it will be nice for the guys to have a break,” Wolverton said. “It’ll be especially helpful in preparing for our last two games.”

The Challenge is com-ing off a split of two home games last weekend.

On Saturday, Justin Wallace scored twice, in-cluding the winner in the 88th minute as the Chal-lenge defeated Vitoria 5-4. Nick Aguilar also scored a pair and Cole Berry added the other.

On Sunday, Khalsa scored the only goal on a penalty kick in the 36th minute in a 1-0 Challenge loss.

Former players of the Canadian Open many years ago, coaches Joni Frei and Dani Damel are getting their excit-ed group of athletes pre-pared to play in the largest women’s only sporting event in B.C. this year.

Both of their teams—the Okanagan Elite Gold Showcase Gold (U16) and Futures Gold (U18)—will be competing for the very � rst time from July 9 to 17 at Softball City in the same fastball tournament Frei and Damel once played in.

Frei, who starred as a player and also coached at the NCAA level, last year moved from Georgia back to Kelowna, the place where she grew up.

With a concept in mind to start a program for athletes to pursue their dreams and train them to be the best they can be, Joni called friend and former teammate Dani and asked if she wanted to be an assistant coach for these teams and she couldn’t resist.

Damel moved up to Kelowna from Lang-

ley with her boyfriend to start this dream. This is the � rst time their teams will be competing in the

Canadian Open Fastpitch International Champion-ship in Surrey.

“We’re very excit-ed and proud to have our teams participate in such a prestigious event as the Canadian Open,” said Frei. “I know that both Dani and I agree that some of our greatest soft-ball highlights and mem-ories include competing and participating in this tournament.

“Softball City is our old stomping grounds and to have our athletes enjoy and share in the same ex-periences that we have had at these same � elds means so much to us.

“In fact, it’s being able to share experiences like these with our girls that inspire us to commit our lives to coaching, teach-ing, and mentoring them.”

Frei and Damel also started a brand new acad-emy, Beyond the White Lines, to train athletes and coaches that want to pur-sue high level training in Kelowna.

They will be � ying in coaches from top teams in the States to participate in this academy.

Joni and Dani are in-spirational coaches and are proud of their four ath-letes from their team to fundraise at the Shave for the Brave event.

Alexa Brickenden, Madison Wilms (both U-16), Brittany Smith, Kassie Keir (both U-18) each shaved their heads, and raised close to $3,000.

Starting July 9, the Lower Mainland will be treated to nine days of home runs, close tags and rally caps, as the 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch Inter-national Championship welcomes women softball stars from British Colum-bia and the globe.

The championship runs until July 17 and will take place at three dia-monds in Surrey.

Softball City will be the premier destination, and games will also be played at Sunnyside Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The Scotiabank Can-adian Open Fastpitch championship is one of the top three women’s fastpitch events in the world for 2011, and will feature more than 400 ball games, 1,300 athletes and 80 teams from around the world.

“This event is im-portant to the game on so

many levels,” said Softball Canada president Kevin Quinn. “To all the players, through all the divisions, it is a chance to measure yourself against the best at your level of competition in a fun, professionally or-ganized tournament.

“Lifetime memories are made here.”

There will be three div-isions of play— Women’s, Futures (under-19); Show-case (under-16).

All the International and Women’s Elite games will be held at Softball City in South Surrey.

Joining Team Can-ada in the Women’s Inter-national division will be top-ranked and 2010 ISF Women’s World Cham-pion Team USA, Team Japan, Team Venezuela and Team Australia.

Canada won the Bronze medal at last year’s ISF Women’s World Championships.

“(We) are pleased that Surrey has the opportun-ity to welcome the world’s top fastpitch teams to this tournament,” said Bal Gosal, Canada’s Minister of State (Sport). “These young athletes will experi-ence the thrill of partici-pating in an internation-al competition and get to know the true meaning of spirit.”

In the Women’s Elite division, the host club, the White Rock Rene-

gades, will be taking on teams from California, Venezuela, and Nanjing, China.

The host Renegades will have a total of six teams taking part in the Open Championship.

British Columbia will be well-represented at this year’s championship. Joining the Renegades will be the Okanagan Elite Gold, Abbotsford Out-laws, Burnaby Oakeys, Cloverdale Fury, Delta Heat, Duncan Red Hots, Fleetwood Force, Fras-er Valley Fusion, Kelow-na Heat, Langley Rebels, PoCo Rage, Richmond Islanders, Ridge Mead-ows Pride, South Delta In-vaders, Strawberry Vale Stealth, Surrey Storm and Victoria Devils.

From elsewhere in Canada, Surrey will be joined by clubs from Al-berta and Saskatchewan, as well as American clubs from Alaska, Arizona, California and Hawaii.

Tickets can be pur-chased online at Can-adianOpenFastpitch.com, as well as at the parks. The action kicks off at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 9 with women’s play, as the White Rock Renegades face-off with the Califor-nia A’s. The third-place and � rst-place games will be played on Saturday, July 17 at 1:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

BRIAN GIEBELHAUS/CONTRIBUTOR

SOME of the world’s top women’s fastball players will display their talents at the Canadian Open July 9 to 17 in Sur-rey.

‘‘I KNOW THAT BOTH DANI AND I AGREE THAT SOME OF OUR GREATEST SOFTBALL HIGHLIGHTS AND MEMORIES INCLUDE COMPETING AND PARTICIPATING IN THIS TOURNAMENT.

KELOWNA AQUAJETS swimmer Alanna Larter competes in the breaststroke at the B.C. AA Swim Champion-ships last weekend at H20.

Eight members of the host Kelowna AquaJets gained some invaluable competitive experience at the Sun Rype AA B.C. Swim Championships.

Alanna Larter led the way at provincials for lo-cal swimmers last week-end at the H20 Centre with a gold medal in the girls 11-and-under 100 metre breaststroke in a time of 1 minute 34.82 seconds.

Larter also reached the � nals in the 200m breast-stroke, 100m backstroke and 50m free.

Teammate Jenna Butterworth,11, gave Lar-ter some competition in the breaststroke events, grabbing a bronze med-al in the 200 breaststroke, and a sixth place � nish in the 100.

Butterworth and Lar-ter paired together with three other Aqua Jets Kay-lin Scuka, Eden Lamb and Sydney Hayes for the re-lay events in both the medley and freestyle re-lays, � nishing just off the

podium. On the boys side, both

Ian Dunlop and Michael Patora had strong per-formances over the three days, qualifying for the � nal sessions in the even-ings and making the po-dium on the � nal race Sat-urday evening in the boys 12-and-under 200 med-ley relay with teammates Zachary Stanley and Tudor Stanciu.

Dunlop, 11, took off over eight seconds in his 200 breaststroke to place fourth, on his way to set-ting a new club record. Dunlop also took off 14 seconds in � ne form on his 200 IM earlier in the meet.

Patora, 12, placed sev-enth in his 200 breast-stroke while breaking the four-minute mark for the � rst time.

“The meet was a step forward for the team” said Jets’ head coach Peter Wilkins.

All eight of the team swimmers were new

quali� ers to the competi-tion and thrived on the ex-perience and are eager to move up to the next level.

Wilkins is very happy with the progress that the team has made this season and the excitement that is buzzing around the pool deck, it feels like things are already shaping up to start next year with a big splash.

Most of the team � n-ishes this week in the pool, while a dozen swimmers will carry on training for AAA provincials in Vic-toria in two weeks time, Age Group Nationals in Montreal at the end of July and the International Children’s Games in Lan-arkshire, Scotland in Au-gust.

Registration for the club is ongoing, and the club will start back up in September after a sum-mer camp Aug. 22 to 26 at the H20 and Rutland pool. For more informa-tion please go to www.ke-lownaaquajets.com

NEWS

The Downtown Kelowna Associa-tion has put out a � nal call for all ven-dors, artisans, crafters and food vendors to apply to participate in the Kelowna Fusion Festival taking place Aug. 13.

The Kelowna Fusion Festival, for-merly known as the Mardi Gras Street Festival, will be a celebration of local food, music and culture that will offer a variety of exhibits and entertainment for all ages.

The City’s downtown parks will be activated for the day with programming ranging from Kerry Park through Stu-art Park.

The site will open to upwards of 10,000 spectators made up of families, friends, residents and travelers alike who will gather together downtown to en-joy live entertainment, culture, activi-ties and vendors from across the Okana-gan Valley.

Vendor applications have been streaming in as excitement builds around Kelowna Fusion Festival’s inaugural year.

Spaces are � lling up quickly and Peggy Athans, Downtown Kelowna As-

sociation executive director, couldn’t be more thrilled. “The Downtown Kelow-na Association is very proud to have so much interest from local vendors, arti-sans and performers for the � rst year of the Kelowna Fusion Festival,” Athans said.

“We are very excited to bring our community together to celebrate in Au-gust and we look forward to growing the festival each year.”

The deadline for Kelowna Fusion Festival vendor and performer submis-sions is July 8.

Due to the Canada Post lockout last week, the Downtown Kelowna Associ-ation also wants to reassure vendors that applications can still be emailed, faxed, or dropped off in person to the of� ce. Visit www.downtownkelowna.com for of� ce contact information.

The full Kelowna Fusion Festival line up and schedule is set to be announced on Friday, July 15.

For more information on the Kel-owna Fusion Festival or to download a vendor application form visit www.kel-ownafusionfestival.com.

Last call goes out for Fusion Festival vendors

Businesses and com-munity organizations will have a chance to highlight their products and servic-es during Showcase, Sept. 6 at the UBC Okanagan campus.

Showcase takes place the same day as Create, which introduces new stu-dents to UBC while help-ing them make the transi-tion to Canada’s only Top 40 internationally ranked university.

Spencer Hunt, orien-tation coordinator, said Showcase gives a diverse array of organizations a chance to connect with students.

With more than 2,000

new students attending this fall, many from out of town, the event offers an excellent opportunity for participating groups and businesses to promote their products and servic-es.

“A lot of the students don’t know what services are available,” said Hunt. “That’s the point of Show-case, to show what is out there.”

A number of factors can help make booths suc-cessful at Showcase. Prize giveaways and interactive components aid in bring-ing student traf� c to a ven-dor’s table.

“We want to ensure that the students are get-ting the best and most positive learning expe-rience and we will work with the vendors at Show-case to do just that,” said Hunt, adding that direct sale of goods on campus

is not allowed. However, private com-

panies can showcase and sample their products.

Organizations interest-ed in setting up must reg-ister before Aug. 19.

For more information, email Hunt at [email protected], or phone him at 250-807-8632.

Participants can also register at http://www.ubc.ca/okanagan/students/newtoubc/orientations/create/showcase.html.

Showcase is free to on-campus and not-for-prof-it groups.

There is a $100 fee for businesses to be part of Showcase.

Writer and children’s storyteller Laura Thomas has once again teamed up with Delta Parks, Recre-ation and Culture to offer

a province-wide summer writing contest for bud-ding authors.

The contest is free to enter and open to any B.C. resident between the ages of 10 and 17.

There is also a spe-cial incentive category for children six to nine years old.

Last year, 50 young scribes from Prince George, Invermere, Ver-non, the Lower Mainland

and Vancouver Island sub-mitted short stories.

When asked what in-spired her to create the contest, Thomas said, “I know from experience that it’s always more fun to write when you have a speci� c goal and know that someone will be read-ing your work.”

Contestants are asked to send in three copies of an original short story of up to 1,000 words on any

subject. “I like to give young writers the freedom to write about what they care about,” said Thomas.

The contest closes Aug.31. Entries can be mailed to JA Short Story Contest c/o South Delta Recreation Centre, 1720 56 Street, Delta, B.C., V4L 2B1.

inners will be an-nounced late September. Complete details are on-line at agentstory.net.

RUNNING IN support of a charitable cause, Connor Clerke, of Kelowna, completed a 130 kilometre run on Saturday that stretched from the U.S. border to City Park in Kelowna.

It may not compare with the harshness of running 275 kilo-metres across the Sahara Desert, but Kelowna long distance run-ner Connor Clerke tested the lim-its of his physical endurance last weekend.

And he did that as a means of raising money and awareness of the need for new schools in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.

On Saturday Connor complet-ed a nonstop 130 km run from the U.S. border at Osoyoos to City Park in Kelowna.

Along with education in the Congo, Clerke was also run-ning to help raise money for wa-ter projects in Africa initiated by the impossible2Possible organi-zation.

The run, inspired by Clerke’s Sahara trek in support of the same organization in 2010, was

to highlight the vast amount of clean, safe drinking water here in the Okanagan as opposed to many other parts of the world he is hoping to help.

Clerke hoped that his 130 km run, starting at Osoyoos Lake and proceeding north along the Oka-nagan River, Skaha Lake and then along the southern half of Okana-gan Lake would help achieve this objective.

Clerke began at 4 a.m. at the U.S. border and attempted to cov-er off 10 km per hour, hoping to arrive at City Park around 5 p.m.

Cool, cloudy conditions aided his run although pounding pave-ment for nearly 13 hours can take its toll on a body.

The most he had ever run in one of his training runs was passed at the 45 km mark at 8:30 a.m. as he made his way along Skaha Lake.

The next 8 km would be un-charted territory for the 19-year-old runner.

At Trout Creek, south of Sum-merland, Clerke was joined by Daniel Medland-Marchen who would run alongside for the next 20 km, spurring on his former Kelowna Minor Hockey and Kel-owna Track and Field Club team-mate.

At the Okanagan Park camp-ground, the two were joined by three current members of the Okanagan Athletics Club, who also helped encourage Clerke as he approached the � nal third of his quest.

Clerke was also joined on and off by good friend Matt Blais, who tagged along to video the event.

After a very short lunch break Clerke set off alone for the � nal 37 km of his journey.

Although extremely tired and beginning to get very sore, Clerke was able to pick up his pace for the � nal leg of the journey which included the 2.5 km Drought Hill climb into Westbank.

By 4:30 p.m., 12.5 hours after his start at the U.S. border, Clerke rounded the curve and headed down to Bennett Bridge, where he was joined by his mother, broth-er and aunt to run together the � -nal leg of his trip across the bridge and into City Park where he was greeted by numerous friends and family.

For more information on the event or to make a pledge to Clerke’s epic run, see www.one-worldokanagan.org or call 250-868-3616.

Donations can be made out to Hope for the Nations and mailed to 1360 McKinley Rd., Kelowna B.C., V1V 2B7.

NEWS

In the � nal column of our series on issues surrounding the seda-

tion of children in the den-tist’s chair, there are other various forms of sedation which can be extreme-ly bene� cial to anxious or uncooperative children in need of dental care.

Medications can be taken by children via a number of different routes.

Nitrous oxide and ox-ygen are inhaled. Other sedative medications we commonly use can also be taken by mouth and swallowed or they can be injected intravenously (IV) into a blood vessel.

Health care provid-ers who administer med-ications to children know that the most predictable effect from a medication occurs after it is injected into a blood vessel intra-venously.

However, children re-quiring sedation for den-tal treatment are usually not happy about receiving an intravenous injection to receive their sedative medicines.

The alternative is to give the sedative medica-tion orally.

On the surface, this seems like an excellent solution. But, there are a number of drawbacks to this route of administra-tion.

First, some children are unable or unwilling to take oral medication.

Second, once the medication is in the stom-ach it is absorbed and transported to the liver

where it is undergoes met-abolic breakdown.

In many cases, af-ter this initial or � rst-pass metabolism, only a small amount of active medica-tion remains to exert its sedative effect.

As a result, the effects of orally administered sedatives are highly un-predictable.

Third, each patient re-ceives the exact same dose for their weight be-cause the dosage for oral administration is de-termined by a patient’s weight.

But we know that not all patients will react in exactly the same way to the same drug because of differences between indi-viduals.

Decades of research on sedative drugs and our own professional experi-ence have shown that oral sedation has a high failure rate because of these var-ious issues we have de-scribed.

By far the safest, most predictable and most suc-cessful sedative route is intravenous.

Using nitrous oxide and oxygen sedation as well as topical local anes-thetic creams on the skin, we are able to address the discomfort a child may

feel when an IV is placed. Breakdown in the GI

tract is avoided because the medication is inject-ed into the blood stream for transport to the brain where the sedative exerts it effect.

Unlike with oral seda-tion, it is possible to ad-minister small amounts of the sedative agent over a period of time until the desired sedation level is achieved.

Thus, the level of se-dation can be very care-fully controlled where-as with oral administra-tion of sedation, this is not possible.

Another advantage of IV sedation is that very short acting drugs can be given whereas these drugs cannot be given orally be-cause of the longer time between oral administra-tion, uptake from the GI tract, distribution to the brain and � nally the onset of the sedative effect.

One � nal advantage of intravenous sedation which is not available with any other route of drug administration is di-rect access to the circula-tion for administration of emergency medications in the unlikely event of an adverse event.

Giving sedative med-ications to help a child cope with dental treat-ment sounds easy.

It is, however, a skill which requires advanced training and education and not all dentists are quali� ed to use sedation.

When a dental of� ce recommends sedation for

a child, parents should feel comfortable asking the dentist how they are quali� ed to do so.

Parents also should know that dental of� ces using sedation must fol-low practice guidelines for the sedation of chil-dren.

Guidelines for seda-tion have been developed by medical and dental ex-perts and are promoted by the Canadian Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Canadian Dental Associ-ation and the College of Dental Surgeons of Brit-ish Columbia.

The guidelines discuss in detail the steps which a dental team must fol-low prior to an appoint-ment, during an appoint-ment and after an appoint-ment when a patient has received sedation for den-tal treatment.

Sedation guidelines have been developed for the safety of all patients who receive sedation for dental treatment.

In our pediatric dental of� ce, all forms of seda-tion—inhalation, oral and intravenous—are avail-able.

Our team has the edu-cation, training and expe-rience to provide sedation safely for any child who will have dif� culty receiv-ing dental treatment.

Canada Day CelebrationJoin us for a barbecue and a delicious Canada Day cakeand refreshments, with proceeds going to a local charity.


One doesn’t usual-ly think of Canada Day as a “Last Chance for Sun-shine,” but if you’re from Vancouver it’s likely an apropos concern/album name any time of year.

And so it goes for Red Eye Empire, a West Coast rock/reggae group who will likely debut their latest collection of tracks in one of the sun-niest spots in the entire country when they play Doc Willoughby’s Pub on July 1.

“In this album, and the previous album, we’ve really discovered our own sound; it really shines through,” said Mike Red-mond who fronts the � ve-

member group.Those who don’t

know the band as yet might � nd Redmond’s description of their style a little confusing. Last Chance for Sunshine is said to include a song with bebop undertones, jazz, a bit of rock, a bit of reggae and everything in between. But if you pic-ture yourself on a patio in Whistler with a group of scruffy looking guys ac-companying some gnarly, extreme sports crew, it all makes sense.

This band tours places like Invermere, Revel-stoke, Kelowna and Whistler for a reason. Call it a California North surf-er/snowboard soundtrack and what’s left is actual-ly a pretty genre-specif-

ic, coastal sound for all seasons that actually does scream Canada for those

who associate our country with mountains, snow and the ski resort culture.

This is Red Eye Em-pire’s fourth album. While the group doesn’t actual-

ly debut the CD until July 8 in Vancouver, Kelowna will get the sneak peak as we’re a favourite stop.

Kelowna fans helped test-run the material ear-ly last spring when the group stopped in at Doc’s and played a good dose of the new material before stepping into the studio.

“Kelowna has real-ly been good to us. It’s al-ways a good party when we’re there,” said Red-mond.

“So we’re just hoping the hordes come out to see us again.”

Red Eye Empire is one of the rare bands which claim two home-towns.

Redmond is originally from Whistler and long-time friend and musical

collaborator Gabe Davis is from Vancouver.

When Redmond moved down to Vancou-ver, and the pair start-ed to build their empire, so to speak, they played enough gigs in Whistler that both places began to feel like a home base.

And while Kelow-na might be an odd place to take a � rst run at a CD called Last Chance for Sunshine, it would seem that the weather gods might actually be working with the band.

Friday’s forecast calls for sun with a little cloud in a year characterized by unseasonably cool temperatures, big snow dumps, rain and clouds.

‘I am here’ tribute to immigrant experience

RENAY EGAMI/CONTRIBUTOR

THIS ART INSTALLATION created by local artist Renay Egami is on display at Kelowna International Airport. It was created with fabric cut from used clothing in various shades and patterns of red.

Travellers � ying in and out of the Ke-lowna Internation-

al Airport over the next several months are surely bound to notice the large-scale work installed on the Kelowna Art Gallery’s art wall in the well-wish-ing area in the departures end of the airport.

Titled Piecework, this new work of art is � ve feet tall and 30 feet long, and was created with fab-ric cut from used clothing in various shades and pat-terns of red.

The artist is Renay Egami, who has lived and worked in the Okanagan since 2003 and is an as-sistant professor in cre-ative studies at the Uni-versity of British Colum-

bia’s Okanagan campus. Egami devised the

phrase “I am here,” which is formed by red fabric letters and repeated to cre-ate the overall form of the work, to encapsulate the immigrant experience.

The piecework done at home and for low wages by immigrant women to North Amer-ica is made reference to in the work’s title, and re-

inforced by the repeated letterforms, all of which have had their edges sewn up by the artist.

Despite the under-tones and allusions to the trauma and rupture of leaving one’s home coun-try to settle in a foreign one, and the economic hardship often associated with such circumstances, the overall mode of Piece-work is one of happi-ness. In a certain way this makes sense, as after all, it was the feeling of hope that inspired immigrants to settle this continent and to struggle to better them-selves after they arrived.

Egami has worked with various materials in the past, but this is her � rst work using fabric as

her medium. She select-ed the colour red initially because of its association with the red circle on the � ag of Japan, but also for its general high impact. Even behind the glass of the art wall, the colour has a strong energy and pres-ence in the well-wish-ing area.

Egami researches widely before narrowing down the scope and look

of her pieces. She usu-ally works in the area of contemporary art known as installation art, that is pieces or projects, often in a large scale, that are de-signed speci� cally for a certain place and time.

She was given a solo show at the Kelowna Art Gallery in the summer of 2007, entitled Picnic, that made reference to people who take picnics to the

park in Japan that com-memorates the Hiroshima bombing of 1945.

In the gallery’s Rotary Courtyard space Egami had an array of glass ves-sels that she had melted in a kiln into misshapen forms, resting on a mir-rored platform. In the Reynolds Gallery was a mushroom cloud made up of hundreds of lengths of thin, metallic chains.

Working expressive-ly with visual metaphor, Egami has a knack for making art that alludes to various levels of meaning. So visitors to the airport might pass by Piecework and simply see some bright red letterforms that spell out “I am here,” and think nothing about it, considering the work to

ENTERTAINMENT▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

Other movies coming up this weekend besides TransformersThis weekend is go-

ing to be all about The Transform-

ers new movie, but I like rooting for the underdog, so I am going start with Larry Crowne.

Although it is not only starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, and is also directed and produced by Hanks, it still is a quiet bit of counter-program-ming against those alien robots. Larry Crowne is the story of a Navy vet-eran who loses his job as a team leader at a big box store and goes back to community college to start over.

There he becomes part of a colourful group of outcasts who are also try-ing to � nd a better future for themselves.

He unexpectedly de-velops a crush on one of his teachers (Julia Rob-erts) and just when he thinks everything in his life is going nowhere, he discovers a new reason to live. Hanks is a quad-ruple-threat as he also co-wrote the movie with Nia Vardalos, who he and is wife discovered while do-ing her stage show which became My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Rated General with a warning of coarse lan-

guage.In another bit of

counter-programming, Monte Carlo stars Sel-ena Gomez, Leighton Meester and Katie Cas-sidy, the story of three young women vaca-tioning in Paris who � nd themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

They � nd themselves in a lavish world, where they live like royalty and experience romance, dis-covering the true magic of friendship along the way.

It is clearly aimed at a young female audience teaming young singer-ac-tress Gomez with Gos-sip Girl co-stars Meester and Cassidy. (Just in case you are wondering, Katie Cassidy is the daughter of ’70s pop idol David Cas-

sidy.) Rated General with no warning.

And � nally, Trans-formers: Revenge of the

Fallen. If I come off cyn-ical, it is because I am not a big fan of director Mi-chael Bay. Of his movies I

did not walk out of, I only tolerated them because they did have moments of brilliance. I actually

made it through and even enjoyed the � rst Trans-formers but I left part way through the second.

To his credit, Bay ac-tually admitted that he was not happy with the second one as he had to do many of the rewrites himself because of the screenwriter’s strike a few years back. He promises that the third delivers, and even though he was not originally a fan of 3D, his second promise is that the 3D will not disappoint.

Shia LaBeouf is reunited with Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gib-son and John Turturro and added to the cast is Pat-rick Dempsey, Frances McDorman, John Mal-kovich and Ken Jeong. The noticeable depar-ture of Megan Fox just prior to the start of � lm-ing has been made even more noticeable with re-cent rumours that she was actually � red by produ-cer Steven Spielberg. She was replaced with model and � rst time actress Ros-ie Huntington-Whiteley.

Rated PG with vio-lence and coarse lan-guage.

MIDNIGHT IN PARISTo be honest, I have

never been a big fan of Woody Allen—in my opinion, the last interest-ing thing he did was Han-nah and Her Sisters.

However, I thought it would be a good idea to get out of my very com-fortable comfort zone and so I went to see Mid-night In Paris, written and directed by Woody Allen.

Not many shared my adventurous spirit, as there were only 14 of us in the theatre on the Sun-day night.

While I can’t think who, or why Owen Wil-son was cast as the lead, and while it wasn’t pretty to watch Canadian Ra-chael McAdams play the stereotypical “American in Paris,” this movie was surprisingly watchable.

Also surprising was the rest of the cast which included Carla Bruni, wife of French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, in a small role as a tour guide, and Kathy Bates playing Gertrude Stein.

It was also great to see

Mimi Kennedy, who I haven’t seen since the old Sid Caesar shows (am I dating myself here?), and she doesn’t at all look as though she’s 63 years old.

It’s hard to explain the rest of the cast and their roles without giv-ing much of the mov-ie away. Suf� ce to say, it’s somewhat like the old game of what � ve people would you invite to din-ner? I said somewhat, but it’s a stretch—a little like Owen Wilson’s acting. I know, I will stop harp-ing about that, but truly it wasn’t good!

In typical Allen style, Midnight In Paris was somewhat like watch-ing a play on a very large stage instead of a mov-ie on the big screen. Un-like a lot of Allen’s work,

Vaccines show in� uences in debutTHE VACCINES: WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE VACCINES? (COLUMBIA)

The album title is an apt one considering the myriad of in� uences or imagined in� uences from London’s foursome, The Vaccines, and their debut album.

Think in terms of The Ramones meets The Strokes meets The Jesus And Mary Chain—the latter for the occasional forays into looped feed-back guitar and heavily echoey vocals. The lead off song is very Ramon-es-like with its soccer-ish chant Wrecking Bar (Ra Ra Ra) and speedy, youthful rhythmics that clocks in at a minute and a half, while If You Wanna has I Wanna Be Sedated DNA all over it.

While The Ramon-es were labeled the quint-essential punk band, The Vaccines sound more power pop with fresh and energetic songs that swing slightly into surf territory on Post Break Up Sex (the � rst single and U.K. hit) and some Phil Spect-or-like wall of sound on Wetsuit.

The most head swiv-eling song here is the clos-er Family Friend where the very young Vaccines fret over the aging process

while channeling (to my ears) Buddy Holly, P.F. Sloan and a lot of Jesus And Mary Chain.

Intriguing stuff and a band to watch especial-ly for a follow-up album now that the appetite has been whetted.

B

HOT CHELLE RAE: TONIGHT TONIGHT (JIVE)

I heard a loud groan from my son in the next room when the � rst chords of Hot Chelle Rae’s hit single Tonight Tonight reached his ears.

The song has been picked up by the local air-waves off this four-song, three-video enhanced ex-tended play CD designed to introduce this Nashville band to Canada.

The group released their debut in the USA a few months back and enjoyed a minor hit with the weepy and sappy bal-lad Bleed (also includ-ed here).

But all members of

this would-be boy band come from interesting musical bloodlines.

Three of the lads have parents who are prolif-ic songwriters on music row while bassist Ian Keaggy’s father Phil was a hot shot guitarist for the highly regarded ’70s band Glass Harp, along with dozens of solo albums.

But Hot Chelle Rae, besides having a cool name, will have to show me a lot more than this meager four-song, three-video offering.

Their two dance rock tunes are way better than their boy band efforts but this group needs to clarify their identity.

C

CULTS: (COLUMBIA)Cults are a new duo

Madeline Fillon and Brian Oblivion, who got their start like so many others nowadays, on the Internet when three of their songs became hot items.

The duo soon signed to Sony and they have re-leased their debut album under the truncated name Cults, with production from Shane Stoneback of Britney Spears, NSYNC, Vampire Weekend fame.

The lead off single Go Outside is more or less experimental dream pop (think The Sundays) with lots of tinkly bells and echoey vocals placed art-fully in the back of the mix.

The new album hasn’t been completely ignored on these shores where Cults has made its debut at the No. 89 spot, but this is also another band to watch.

Besides the dream pop there is a healthy dose of ’60s girl group music here with the hooky and synth-driven Walk At Night along with the skipping, perky beats to Bumper the most pop-like song on the eponymous CD.

I suppose to offset the dream pop the duo has added background dia-logue from famed mass murderer Jimmy Jones of Jonestown to show an edgier side, but it prob-ably wasn’t all that ne-cessary.

C+

LUKA SULIC & STJEPAN HAUSER: 2 CELLOS (SONY)

At � rst glance this might appear to be a novelty classical album but the two cellists here are multiple award win-ners and highly educated with their craft and this new album of covers of classic rock songs is quite beguiling.

It is a blast to hear these two young cellists working with one an-other on tunes like U2’s Where The Streets Have No Name and With Or Without You where one guy saws away like crazy to create the rhythmics while the other offers up the delicate melodic lines.

And, believe it or not, the lads also tackle Dick Dale’s revved up surf in-strumental Miserlou with great aplomb along with an energetic reinterpret-ation of Guns’N’Roses Welcome To The Jungle.

Sulic and Hauser also tackle more mellow tunes from Sting and Cold-play along with scintillat-ing takes of NIN/Johnny Cash’s hit Hurt and Nir-vana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit that really high-light the beautiful, melod-ic lines.

Much more fun and enjoyable than expected.

it wasn’t just scene after scene of nothing to do with the core of the show, it did have a message that romance has been here throughout the ages, and sometimes, just some-times, it can transcend time itself.

Maybe because I had spent Saturday at a wed-ding that I was feeling nostalgic myself, but de-spite the mismatch of casting and the stilted act-ing of McAdams (yes, I will stop harping on this, too), and even though this movie does not provide any ‘tears rolling down your cheeks’ laughs, it does have a “je ne sais quoi” about it that’s worth seeing.

Another plus—it’s only an hour and 45 min-utes, so it’s not a big in-vestment of time either.

This is quirky, endear-ing and packed with his-torical glimpses. If you like fantasies about times past, you’ll love it.

Best quote of the mov-ie: “Nostalgia is denial.”

I give this movie 2 reels—but it’s worth see-ing

Canada Day will be upon us tomorrow and is, as we all

know, a welcome day off but also a great day to get out and celebrate this ab-solutely awesome coun-try of ours.

So you have all your � ags, your face paint, your patriotism and all of your other Canadian para-phernalia but now—what do you do?

You might � nd your-self tomorrow morning, or today even, wonder-ing what you’re going to do with yourself on the birthday of our true north strong and free.

Kelowna has no short-age of opportunities to busy yourself on the start of your three-day week-end.

To start things off, Ke-lowna style, I would sug-gest leaving the car at home. We’ve all sworn under our breath about never being able to � nd a parking spot in downtown Kelowna during busy summer weekends and to-morrow will be no excep-tion. Plan to bike, skate, board, walk, or public transit your way down to Kelowna’s Canada Day hot spot.

Once downtown, Celebrate Canada Day - Kelowna kicks off at 10 a.m. The celebration is an annual, free commun-ity festival held in Pros-pera Place and Waterfront Park. It is produced as a community partnership between Festivals Kelow-na, Folkfest and the Ke-lowna Canada Day Con-certs Society, bringing the community a huge num-ber of activities for all ages and abilities to enjoy.

Ther are more than 50 absolutely free activ-ities and performances that are multi-generation-al and family-friendly for every attendee to enjoy. To kick everything off, at 12:30 p.m. there will be the Canada Day Opening Ceremonies which will feature a huge cake cut-ting (think enough cake for 700 people) to cele-brate our country’s 144th birthday.

Following the open-ing ceremonies is a bar-rage of activities includ-ing ball hockey, vendors, artisans and crafters in the Made in Canada Market-place, the Taste of Can-

ada featuring food vend-ors from across the Val-ley, a Kids Zone and live music performances fea-turing the likes of Mobad-ass, Windborn and Young Sparrows.

There is lots to explore along the expansive event site but don’t forget about how nice it would be to head back down towards Bernard Avenue and how good a chilled bever-age on a (� ngers crossed) sunny patio will taste. With so many to choose from it might be hard to pick out just one roof-top or street-side hangout.

So now we’ve man-aged to � ll up most of our day, but what about the evening?

You’re downtown al-

ready, so instead of drag-ging yourself back home to slave over a hot stove (or barbeque), maybe stay right where you are and enjoying some delicious dining out. Downtown Kelowna has a great se-lection of restaurants (111 in total, so I’m told) and there are some great still-slightly-newbies to check out like Fernando’s Ta-queria or the Twisted To-mato.

Now, of course, come the � reworks. This bless-ed display of all things patriotic, bright, glorious (and yet generally under-whelming) over Okanag-an Lake will kick off at 10:30 p.m. Although this is an exciting and breath-taking moment for most,

for some this is also the highest point of tension from a day’s worth of mass crowds, sunshine and consumption of num-erous beverages, and so if I may whisper a num-ber of haunting words like: “Regatta, Wakefest, or Vancouver Stanley Cup Finals.” Let’s keep things cool, safe and positive. We all love to celebrate and we want to make sure that our city is still al-lowed to celebrate.

After the evening’s festivities my � nal advice is to head down to Doc Willoughby’s, enjoy the good company and lis-ten to Red Eye Empire to rock, reggae, pop and ska the night away.

Happy Canada Day!Pyper Geddes is the

general manager of Habitat and an A-OK contributor.

Instruct Roots of Empathy▼ VOLUNTEER CENTRE

Dawn WilkinsonCONTRIBUTOR

Do you have a heart for children? Are you in-terested in facilitating learning? Can you com-mit for two years?

There is good news for kids and families. The Roots of Empathy pro-gram, offered in several SD23 schools, has a no-cost-to-you training op-portunity coming this fall. Volunteer trainers are be-ing recruited now.

Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based pro-gram that has shown dra-matic effects in reducing levels of aggression among school children while increasing pro-so-cial behaviour. The pro-gram reaches elementary children from kindergart-en to Grade 8.

At the heart of the pro-gram is a neighbourhood infant and parent who vis-it the class every three weeks, for Family Visit time. The instructor visits the week before and the week after each family visit to prepare and re-inforce teachings using a

specialized lesson plan for each visit.

Becoming a Roots of Empathy instructor re-quires a commitment to deliver 27 classroom les-sons of 30 to 40 minutes and to participate in four days of training. Through-out the � rst year, instruct-ors are supported by a mentor through phone calls, email messages and a classroom visit.

As a Roots of Em-pathy instructor, you re-quire patience, empathy, � exibility and energy. You must be able to teach a group of children in their usual classroom set-ting with the added dy-namic of a parent and in-fant.

Becoming a certi-� ed Roots of Empathy in-structor, involves submit-ting an application form, being accepted for train-ing, completing training, receiving 75 per cent or

higher on a written, open book certi� cation test, and clearing a Police Re-cord and Position of Trust Disclosure check.

Still interested? Watch the video and download the � rst chapter at www.rootsofempathy.org. You can email [email protected] or phone 416-944-3001.

That West Kelowna is � nally ready to start con-struction of its new chil-dren’s water park in West-bank Centre Park was cause for celebration af-ter a four-year fundrais-ing effort.

But under the surface, the park itself is yet an-other success story in the company that conceived, designed and will install the park.

It’s a rather unique in-stallation, says a spokes-person for Waterplay So-lutions Corp., in that the company has been in-volved in every stage of its progress.

That’s only unique be-cause typical installations are done in far off plac-es dealing with distrib-utors, not often the peo-ple on the ground. Water-play Solutions has more than 3,000 play parks around the world, mostly in North America but also in United Arab Emirates, Guam, Singapore, Europe and plenty in Australia.

It’s a global compa-ny that has grown tremen-dously since 2007. And it’s right here in Kelowna.

“Everything you will see on this aquatic play environment in West Kel-owna is welded, ma-chined, painted, polished and designed right here in the Okanagan,” said Ryan McDowell, territory de-velopment manager.

The company has qui-etly been building a rep-utation around the world for its innovation and uniqueness.

Never heard of it? It’s been around almost 25 years, most of that time headquartered in Pentic-ton. But in 2004, it was bought by entrepreneur

Jill White and moved to Kelowna, where it has a sales and marketing of� ce as well as a manufactur-ing plant in the industrial park near Sun-Rype.

According to a pro-� le at Kelowna Women in Business, during her time at the helm the company has expanded from nine to 45 people at its peak and grew revenues 600 per cent.

The company has tapped a distribution net-work to move its prod-ucts but all the design, construction and instal-lation is done here in what staffers describe as a very open environment that fosters creativity and teamwork.

Lisa Neilson is the di-rector of sales and mar-keting but the company makes a point of having everyone capable of mi-nor maintenance. At the same time everyone in the business is encouraged to give input in how to make things better. “It’s so we have a better feel for how it all works, what works, what isn’t working,” Neil-son says.

If you have been to spray parks in City Park, Ben Lee Park, in Lake Country, in Penticton or Summerland—you have played with Waterplay.

But the coolest part is how they have taken on a challenge such as beating summer heat in a safe and ef� cient way.

As water sprays up—or dumps on—the wa-terplayers, it is collected again. Underneath all the waterparks are huge tanks of water, like an under-ground lake. The water is disinfected with chlorine and UV � ltration before being sent back up again. The loss of water to evap-oration or wind is mini-


Traf� c congestion on Highway 97, that brought traf� c to a crawl through construction at Nancee Way earlier this month, was a short-term anomaly that will not likely be re-peated this summer, says a ministry of transporta-tion and highways man-ager for this area.

Murray Tekano ap-peared before West Kel-owna council Tuesday night to answer ques-tions about traf� c disrup-tions and to forecast what awaits us all during sum-mer tourist traf� c.

Mayor Doug Findlat-er said he has taken many calls from people angry about the delays.

But in the month it took to arrange the meet-ing, it appears all is back to normal.

Tekano said the frus-trations many drivers shared—and which led to councillors’ concerns—largely were in response to a temporary lane reduc-tion in early June.

Tekano said the only construction related de-lays he expects through the rest of summer is only due to the reduction in speed limit to 60 km/h from 80 km/h through the stretch of construction.

Other delays may oc-cur with normal traf� c volumes but independent of road construction.

Council seemed gen-erally satis� ed with Teka-no’s answers in response to their concerns.

mal—about � ve to seven per cent per day, similar to an outdoor pool—with a fraction of the water.

As if working at a cre-ative, inspiring and suc-cessful company wasn’t enough, there are also the fun parts.

Waterplayis host-ing what it calls Spraya-palooza this week where they get to share with ven-dors and business part-ners what they are work-ing on and testing. Yep, that means playing and spraying and sliding and dunking.

Asked why in all the world a manufacturing company would locate in the Okanagan where few others are, McDowell

said: “Why not?“The original owners

moved from the Lower Mainland to Penticton for

the lifestyle. “We are a manufac-

turer, we create things, we can export them any-

where we want and we can locate anywhere we want to. So why not lo-cate here?”

Ministry spokes-man says Highway 97 traf� c disruptions now minimized.

This past week was an interesting one on Parliament Hill

in Ottawa. Debate on back-to-

work legislation to get Canada Post up and run-ning again (Bill C-6) began in earnest on June 23.

The parliamentary tradition for the record-ing of debate has all dis-cussion occurring on the same day until the House of Commons adjourns.

Clearly, when such protocols were put in place it was never thought that some two days later, continuous debate would still be underway.

In fact, the nonstop debate lasted for 58 hours, apparently a new legislative debate record.

In the end, Bill C-6 was passed and Canada Post should again be delivering the mail by the time most of you read this week’s report.

This was a challenging issue. There are some who strongly disagreed with this legislation and, to be candid, some of the com-ments I received were in-appropriate.

It’s not about having a thicker skin, there simply is no need for name call-ing and profanity. Those kind of comments cross the line and lowers the level of debate.

I did appreciate hear-ing from affected workers who we must all recognize were also adversely im-pacted by this labour dispute.

To my surprise, some of the workers were in support of this legislation, but the majority of them were not.

That said, I did hear from an over-whelming number of citizens who were also severely impacted by this labour dis-

pute, and their concerns also must be heard.

Before the disrup-tion began, many sug-gested that the importance of Canada Post was less signi� cant in the age of technology with so many paperless options.

In fact one of my in-itial concerns was that the labour dispute would lead to more citizens turning to paperless alternatives and that would harm the long term viability of Canada Post.

If there is one positive to this dispute, I can now say with certainty that Canada Post is very much a Canadian institution that many Canadians abso-lutely depend upon.

Literally hundreds

of citizens shared with me how the disruption in postal service was affect-ing their lives.

It was indeed an eye opening experience: A daycare provider who did not receive payment and as a result could not put food on the table; sen-iors waiting in stress over medical test results; fam-ilies with sick children unable to � le insurance claims; employees facing layoffs and small busi-ness owners considering closing.

As the debate pro-ceeded, I heard from more and more citizens.

It became obvious that there was a critic-al need to see this legis-lation through and ultim-ately the 58 hour debate marathon was the price

we would pay in Parlia-ment to ensure the bill was passed.

I do recognize that there are those who will be unhappy with the back-to-work legislation, and disappointed that I voted in favour of it.

While I doubt there will ever be unanimous agreement in a democrat-ically diverse country like Canada, in this case the real life challenges that this labour dispute was creating could not be ig-nored.

Of the many citizens I heard from, 83 per cent were in favour and 17 per cent were opposed.

In my opinion, this vote was not based on its popularity or public sup-port, but was based on public need.

I am hopeful that we will all better recognize the importance of Can-ada Post in future discus-sions as this was the sev-enth time in Canada’s his-tory that postal workers have been ordered by Ot-tawa to return to work.

I would like to sin-cerely thank everyone who shared their com-ments and words of sup-port during the 58-hour marathon.

As your MP, it was very moving to know that many citizens all across Okanagan-Coquihalla were following the work I was doing in Ottawa on your behalf.

Are You FireSmart?

Be aware of the fi re hazard boards in your community, located on roads leading to the interface areas.What the Danger Class Ratings mean: LOW:: Low fi re danger MODERATE:: Carry out any forest activities with caution HIGH:: Fire hazard is serious. Extreme caution must be used in any forest activities. Burning permits and industrial activities may be restricted EXTREME: Extremely high fi re hazard. General forest activities may be restricted, including burning permits, industrial activities and campfi res.

LOW MODERATE HIGH EXTREME

Fire Danger Rating

If you see a FIRE in your community call the emergency number: If you see a WILDFIRE call Toll Free 1-800-663-5555 (*5555 on most cellular networks).

If you require information on fi re use restrictions and forest closures, call toll free 1-888-3-FOREST (336-7378).

Protect your home from wildfi res. West Kelowna Fire Rescue is encouraging everyone living in the

wildland/urban interface to take time now to plan how to increase the fi re safety of their homes and property.

The wildland/urban interface is the area where the forest meets urban communities. Living in a forested area means living with fi re! The best protection against loss, damage or injury due to wildfi re is prevention.

Following the FireSmart Home Owners Manual can help reduce that risk. The fi rst 10 metres of space around your home is your “First Priority”. A good fuel free space gives fi refi ghters a chance to save your home from an advancing fi re.

Walk around your home and property to see what needs to be done.

Fire Smart Tips:•Prune tree branches to a height of 2 metres or more• Store fi re wood 10 metres or more from the house (avoid downslope location)

• Remove all trees, long grass, shrubs, logs, branches, twigs and needles within 10 metres of house

• Thin trees (with 3 - 6 metres between crowns) for at least 30 metres from the house

• Remove or reduce the number of evergreen trees in the area. Evergreens such as pine and spruce are much more combustible than deciduous trees

• Remove deadfall, thick shrubbery and mature trees that can spread fi re upwards to become a fast spreading crown fi re for at least 30 metres from the house. Once a fi re crowns out, it’s virtually unstoppable

• Grass within 10 metres of buildings should be mowed and watered

•Clear all debris from gutters and roof• Contact your utility company if trees or branches are not clear of power lines

• Address or lot number clearly signed for quick identifi cation by fi re service

•Driveway is wide enough to accommodate emergency vehicles•Chimney installed to code complete with spark arrestor screens•All eaves enclosed and screen all vents including soffi ts• Undersides of balconies, decks and crawlspaces sheathed in with fl ame resistant materials

• Propane tanks located at least 10m from building - clear all vegetation within 3 metres

• Use only fi re retardant roofi ng rated Class A, B or C and fi re resistant exterior siding

Pine needles are a fi re hazard

Woodpiles are a fi re hazard

Home Ownership Just Got Easier!


WESTSIDE

I found myself chatting with a pharmaceut-ical sales representa-

tive the other day. My wife and I host-

ed a BBQ in our backyard and the sales representa-tive was one of our guests.

I learned her occupa-tion over a couple of beers as we huddled around the barbecue for warmth on this uncharacteristically chilly evening.

I had some fun asking about the drugs old guys like me might have an in-terest in.

My e-mail junk folder is � lled with unsolicited advertisements for medi-cations that enhance male libido.

I learned that Cialis can have fun bene� ts for those who are not yet ex-periencing erectile dys-function!

Our discussion be-came more serious when I asked about medications to assist those of my cli-ents with chronic pain and depression.

The two are quite clearly linked, and effect-ive treatment requires at-tacking both the pain as well as the depression.

Chronic pain can, quite obviously, lead people to experience low mood.

Just think about how

a toothache or headache can ruin your day.

Imagine suffering that pain day in, day out; week after week; month after month; year after year.

In true “chicken and egg” fashion, depression can also be a factor in the development of a chron-ic pain condition, and in how much of an im-pact that chronic pain will have on function.

The sales rep told me about medication that is speci� cally designed to treat both low mood as well as chronic pain.

That’s not typical. Typically, there are medi-cations that treat depres-sion and other medica-tions that treat pain.

When I asked about the availability of such medication, the sales rep told me that they are very expensive.

I envision pharma-ceutical sales reps making sales pitches to doctors, trying to convince them to prescribe expensive new

medications. Doctors would quite

reasonably be cautious about introducing expen-sive new medications.

From my perspective as a personal injury law-yer struggling to facili-tate as full a recovery for my clients as I can pos-sibly facilitate, I want my clients to have access to whatever medications might be available, re-gardless of expense.

Expense is not a con-cern for me because the offending driver who caused the problem paid liability insurance pre-miums to ensure that the insurance company will step up to the plate to pay whatever is necessary for the innocent victim’s medication and other needs.

That’s what liability insurance is all about.

Some medical plans will cover certain, less ex-pensive medications, and not others. The Pharma-care program is probably even more restrictive.

There are no such re-strictions when consid-ering fair compensation for an injury victim’s in-juries.

If your doctor pre-scribes an expensive medication as the best op-tion to treat your injuries,

the insurance company will de� nitely have to re-imburse you.

Incidentally, this ap-plies to libido enhancers as well. Pain and head-aches do a number on a couple’s sexual relation-ship.

The loss of sexual in-timacy can be destruc-tive to the relationship dy-namic.

It can be very reason-able to bring medication into play to cause an in-creased libido that breaks through the pain barriers and restores that intimacy.

That’s a whole other topic that I’ll deal with in a future column.

I am not saying that we should be reckless with spending money on crash victims. I am saying that we should be fair.

If you are sitting at a red light and someone smashes into the back of your car causing you in-jury, fairness says that the negligent driver’s liabil-ity insurance should pay any reasonably incurred expense to help with your recovery and to minimize the impact those injuries have on your life.

This applies to ther-apies as well. Ignore the ridiculous up-front pay-ment policies that the in-surance company might

have.They have policies

with no medical basis that, for example, lim-it massage therapy fund-ing to the � rst couple of months after the crash.

I also regularly hear that they refuse to fund both of physiotherapy and chiropractic care, push-ing you to choose one or the other. That makes zero medical sense.

What the insurance company might choose to pay for up front should not have any impact on your medical care.

Your medical care should be determined by your doctor and the ther-apists to whom you are referred.

I don’t know how you can get access to expen-sive new medications that your doctor may be reluc-tant to prescribe because of expense.

I encourage you to be clear with your doctor that achieving as full a recov-ery, with as limited an on-going impact on your life as possible, is your goal, and that you will pay whatever it takes to get

there. You can feel con� dent

about the reality that the insurance company will end up reimbursing you every cent you spend pur-suing that goal.

BIGGS, IONE (nee Spencer)

Oct 6, 1930 - June 17,2011

Loving wife of the late Terence Biggs and adored mother of Bonita Gilbert of Kelowna; Nick Biggs of Marathon,

Ontario; Tim Biggs of Auckland, New Zealand; & Chris Biggs of

Sarnia, Ontario. Ione passed away peacefully in Marathon, Ontario on Friday, June 17 while visiting family.

Cherished sister of Ernest Spencer of Manchester, UK, and

Sylda Johnston, predeceased. Ione will be forever missed by

her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and her incredible network of friends

around the world. Ione was born in the Falkland Islands and in 1957, came to Sarnia with Terry and her young family

where she began to create a loving home and embark on a nursing career of more than 30 years. She will always be

remembered for her unwavering devotion to her family, her dedication to health, happiness, and well-being of her

friends, her laugh, her chocolate chip cookies and sausage rolls, but not, perhaps, for her skills at darts. Ione relocated

to Kelowna in 2003 to be near her daughter and her grandson, Dan Ross. A funeral service was held on

Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at Smith Funeral Home in Sarnia, Ontario. Cremation followed. Anyone wishing to

express their respects for Ione can do so with a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

GENOVESE, VINCENT

On Friday, June 24, 2011, Mr. Vincent Genovese went to be with the Lord and join his loving wife, Audrey, who

predeceased him on April 15th of this year. Vincent was 92

years old and born in Naples, Italy on October 20, 1918. He will be sorrowfully missed by

his fi ve children: Charlene Tallmadge (Art) of Red Deer, AB, Heather Spinney (Steve) of West Kelowna, BC, Angie

Cook (Dave) of Grande Prairie, AB, Ron of West Kelowna, BC, Pam Dahl (Chris) of West Kelowna, BC; seven

grandchildren: Alison (Greg), Laura (Ben), Adrienne, Anthony, Jazz, Milena and Tenaya; sister-in-law Mary Richards of Summerland; nieces and nephew: Steve, Patricia, Jackie and Bonnie. Vincent served in WWII. He was a self-employed carpenter and home builder.

He was also an orchardist, having his own orchard since 1956. Vincent enjoyed playing the clarinet in the Kelowna City Band, of which he was a member for 51 years. He

will be missed by all whose hearts he touched. Our family would like to thank the in-home caregivers and all the staff

at Brookhaven Care Center for all their wonderful care for Dad. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on

Monday, July 4, 2011 at 10:00 am at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 839 Sutherland Ave.,

Kelowna, BC. Interment to follow in the Canyonview Cemetery in Summerland, BC. In lieu of fl owers, memorial

donations may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfi eldfuneralhome.com250-860-7077.
