Mayor steers clear of legal pot debate

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna’s mayor says he was at the meeting in which several Okanagan mayors were asked to sign a letter supporting the decriminalization of marijuana.

But unlike his Lake Country, Enderby, Armstrong and Vernon counterparts, Walter Gray declined, offering instead to petition the Union of B.C. Municipalities to include Stop The Violence B.C. in a forum at its annual convention in September to “start a national dialogue” on the issue.

“We were all asked to sign on but I felt it was a big leap for a (newly elected) mayor to make at that time,” Gray said Monday.

Gray was re-elected mayor of Kelowna in November after nine previous years of public office while five of his eight councillors are rookies.

The meeting with Stop The Violence, a group dedicated to either legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana in B.C. to reduce the involvement of organized crime and curtail increasing police budgets needed to fight the problems associated with the current pot prohibition, took place in Kelowna about six weeks ago, said Gray.

Last week, the four Okanagan mayors, along with their counterparts in Vancouver, Burnaby the City of North Vancouver and the small Vancouver Island village of Metchosin, released a letter they sent to Premier Christy Clark, NDP leader Adrian Dix and B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins calling on the province to regulate and tax marijuana in a bid to take the drug out of the hands of criminals.

Gray said he has not formulated a personal position on legalizing or decriminalizing pot, and he hasn’t received any direction from council.

But Gray noted he has sent his letter to the UBCM on the issue. As of Monday, he had not received a reply.

As well, Gray said Stop The Violence has been invited to address Kelowna council directly on the issue at an upcoming public council meeting.

The mayor said he believes the issue is a federal one and ultimately needs to be addressed at that level.

▼ ANNIVERSARY TOUR

Man In Motion celebration in Kelowna Twenty-five years ago, Rick Hansen rolled into Kelowna to complete one of the final legs of his 26-month, 40,000 kilometre Man in Motion World Tour.

This year, the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay is working toward retracing the Canadian segment of the original tour. It began on Aug. 24, 2011, in Cape Spear, Nfld., and will conclude in Vancouver on May 22.

Approximately 7,000 participants will help complete the Canadian portion of the journey that

Hansen finished on his own 25 years ago.

On Saturday, the Grand Forks to Kelowna leg of his journey was completed by 63 honourary medal bearers, all of whom have made their own difference in the lives of others.

Hansen was on hand for the end of day celebration at the Rotary Centre for the Arts.

“Our cross-Canada relay has been such an amazing inspiration to me because everywhere we’ve gone, so many people have

told us about how much work has been done in the last 25 years,” said Hansen.

“Here in Kelowna, I just can’t believe the incredible response, the incredible sense of community.”

Several dignitaries were present to show their gratitude to Hansen for the inspiration he has provided.

“Inspirational, motivational, a doer, humble. Those are just some of the words that come to mind when you mention the name Rick

Hansen,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan.

Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray pointed to an accessibility feature at the Rotary Centre for the Arts to illustrate change that has been inspired by Hansen.

“Rick, I’ve got to tell you, these ramps that come up here, we didn’t build them for you,” Gray said at the anniversary day concluding event on Saturday.

NEWS ▼ MILL CREEK

Cyclist Neighbours rally to assist potential flood victims given a jolt Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Central Okanagan residents banded together last week to lend a hand to those suffering from a series of sudden floods.

Early Friday morning, Ethel Street resident Kris Stewart issued a plea for anyone who could lend a hand sandbagging her property as Mill Creek rose to threatening levels—and luckily it was heard.

“The creek seems to have plateaued…it’s flooded the back of my property,” she said Friday morning. “It would have flooded my driveway, had help not arrived on time.”

Her home is among the half dozen houses in the 2800 block of Ethel Street and the 800 block of Burne Avenue that experienced flooding.

It sits on about two-thirds of an acre, and has one of the largest residential portions of riverfront, which is what put her in most dire need of help.

“By the time the truck of sand arrived, I had a small team of volunteers standing by for an hour and 15 minutes,” she said.

“They’ve just dropped off a second dump truck load (just after 10 a.m.), and I have so many volunteers.”

Specifically, Stewart had a bounty of Grade 10 kids from Kelowna Secondary School, a dozen dive guys, just as many neighbours and a smattering of others bagging sand and creating a water barrier. In the end, the effort meant Stewart was able to save her property, but several other homes in the Central Okanagan suffered a worse

Four houses on West Kelowna’s Hitchner Road were damaged when a dike along McDougall Creek was breached by high stream flow, rushing through an orchard and reaching basements.

Worst hit was the home of Doug Grant, who realized late Thursday he didn’t have the insurance needed to offset the costs of the flooding damage. His basement filled twice when the dirty water flowed over the banks.

To help him, Kelowna’s Gospel Mission staff, volunteers and even some clients rallied, said the mission’s Ami

average rainfall for the entire month fell on the region’s landscape, running off into the nearest creeks or rivers and ending up in wetlands, ponds and lakes.

“We saw anywhere from 18 mm to 33 mm of rain fall in a six-to-eight hour period,” explained John Vos, city of Kelowna general manager, noting that measuring systems showed that Dilworth and Glenmore areas were hardest hit.

“Depending where you are in the city, that works out to be anywhere from a one in two year to one in 50 year rain event.”

To deal with the watery onslaught that raised local river levels to heights usually reached in June when the upper snowpack starts melting, Vos explained the city had to take a new course of action.

“We’ve opened an emergency gate we’ve never opened in the 22 years I’ve worked here,” said Vos, adding that was what changed the fortunes of those living along Mill Creek for the better.

Although the issue that gained the lions share of attention was homes that dealt with flooding, city crews were snuffing out small crises throughout the area.

“We were dealing with numerous drainage issues,” said Vos. “We saw our storm detention ponds on Brandt’s Creek fill and because of high rain city crews all over Kelowna were dealing with numerous drainage issues as debris flowed in from outside the city.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A Kelowna man may not survive an encounter he had with a high voltage ground wire late last week.

“Last I heard he was in critical condition, but the prognosis was not favourable,” Const. Kris Clark said of the 35-yearold man who was electrocuted April 26 after coming in contact with a live ground wire in the Luxmoore Park area of East Kelowna.

It remains unclear why the man touched a live wire, but police have said he and a 44-yearold companion were biking in an area where many wires had been tampered with when the injury was incurred.

Coiled (copper) cables lay at the bottom of several FortisBC poles in the area, said Clark, noting it gave the initial impression to police that there was a theft in the works.

However, no charges have been pressed against the duo.

“The resale value of copper continues to be an avenue that people are experimenting with and obviously it can be very dangerous,” Clark said.

Ongoing theft from Kelowna’s 14,000 street lights has been a much lamented problem.

In the first few months of 2011, more than $160,000 worth of wiring was stolen from Kelowna light standards, prompting the purchase of anti-theft lids/boxes. The city set aside $900,000 over the next three years on the anti-theft devices.

Father Pandosy bronze sculpture garners city support Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna council has thrown its support, and money, behind a six-foot, eight-inch tall bronze sculpture of the man credited with establishing the

first Euro-Canadian settlement in the Okanagan Valley.

The sculpture of Obate priest Father Charles Pandosy, will be installed at the Pandosy Mission on Benvoulin Road May 26.

On Monday, the city

agreed to accept the sculpture into its collection of public art and lend it to the Okanagan Historical Society to display it the Father Pandosy Mission site on Benvoulin Road.

While the project was spearheaded by the artist

Crystal Przybille and the Okanagan Historical Society, and paid for through grants secured from local and federal sources, at its meeting yesterday, council agreed to contribute $5,000 to help pay for the installation and accept the sculpture into its collection of public art in order to look after it for the future.

“It looks fabulous, I love the attention to detail,” said Coun. Mohini Singh of the sculpture that depicts a leaning Father Pandosy dressed in a sweeping robe and carry-

ing a staff.

Two years ago, the city’s public art committee approved the project in principle but had questions when Przybille turned to the city looking for funds to help pay for the creation of the work, the city’s Pat McCormick told council.

The sculpture will mark the 150th anniversary this year of the founding of the first Euro-Canadian settlement here by Pandosy and his band of Catholic priest missionaries in 1862. Pandosy is credited with, among

other things, introducing grape vines to the valley and making the first wine.

The project cost $112,500 and was funded through grants from the federal Canadian Heritage Legacy Fund ($49,000), the Central Okanagan Foundation ($10,000), the Okanagan Mission ResidentsAssociation ($5,000) and cash and in-kind services donated by several private local sources and non-profit groups.

Przybille worked with the city to identify the Pandosy Mission site as the final location for the

sculpture.

The mission site is owned by the Bishop of the Archdiocese of Nelson and operated by the Okanagan Historical Society. In agreeing to take the art and lend it back to the historical society for display, the city has the right to move the sculpture in future if the society should ever stop operating the Mission site.

The sculpture is to be unveiled at the site during a public ceremony on May 26, not May 6 as previously reported, said McCormick.

“You see that all across the country.”

Although the country, and the world, has come a long way over the past two and a half decades, Hansen said that we need to continue to look at how barriers that still exist can be removed.

“We have to have an aggressive retrofit plan to old buildings that were put in before we even had this view,” Hansen said.

“We have to move past accessibility into inclusivity, which means not just getting into a building, but being part of it.

“When it comes to spinal cord injury, the only way we can continue to move forward is by unifying 70 sites around the world and sharing knowledge, collaborating together and taking discoveries out of laboratories and testing them out in clinical trials.

“In the next 25 years we’ll see the newly injured walking away again.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

200 who had gathered in Ben Lee Park Friday for the annual Day of Mourning.

“Suddenly the truck fishtailed, the driver lost control and I was thrown out of the truck.”

The first thing she remembered was a searing pain.

“It was so bad, I thought I landed on an axe,” she said.

“Being paralyzed doesn’t kill you, but it really hurts.”

A “laundry list” of injuries amounted to three months in hospital and countless operations.

Then came the hard work.

“It was pretty much like starting life from square one,” she said, adding it was nearly impossible to do simple things like hold soap, or put on pants.

By the time she had rudimentary tasks mastered, she had to take on the challenge of re-entering her life and going back to university in Kamloops.

“I had to sleep after every class,” she said. “I was only 22, but I felt 80.”

In the six years that

passed, she got into the groove of a new life, fit with a law degree and skills in wheelchair basketball—something she’ll represent Canada doing in the 2012 Paralympics —but her identity changed.

To most people she meets, she’s “the girl in the wheelchair.”

She’s also a woman with a clear view on the working world.

“Nobody should die or be hurt because of their job,” she said.

“Everyone should tell their boss when they see anything that gets in the way of safety. And society must support them when they do so.”

It was a message that resonated with the crowd who assembled, who bro-

ke from somber silence to clap in support of that statement.

Recent deaths at Prince George and Burns Lake mills cast a pall over the annual event, highlighting that workplace safety isn’t as evolved as it should be in this province.

Already, the death toll in B.C. is high.

In 2011 142 people died as a result of their jobs, and as a Workplace B.C. representative said, “when a person dies because of their workplace we’re all diminished.”

“We lose something as a workplace and a society because we know in our heart of hearts, these accidents could have been avoided.”

Those gathered were asked to think about being vigilant about on-thejob safety, and to pause for a moment to pay homage to those who have suffered because of a lack thereof, this year.

In addition to the ceremony, a bench commemorating those who have died because of work place injuries was unveiled.

Sister city relationship with Scottsdale pursued Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

It’s not being called a sister city yet, but Kelowna is eying a relationship with Scottsdale, Arizona.

Mayor Walter Gray and Robert Fine, executive director of the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission, will pay a quick visit to Scottsdale on Wednesday to talk to community leaders there and gauge their enthusiasm for further talks.

The pair will be joined

by Couns. Andre Blanleil and Colin Basran, both of whom are making their own way to Arizona to participate.

Basran will already be there on holiday, said Gray.

The issue of a cityto-city relationship with Scottsdale has been talked about since shortly after the current Kelowna council was sworn in.

At that time, city staff felt it was not worth trying to establish a sister city relationship with Scottsdale.

The idea is being pushed by Kelowna businessman Brad Field, who currently works with a company in the Arizona city that does business here.

The idea, said Blanleil is to educate people in Scottsdale about Kelowna and point out the similar-

ities between the two cities with the aim of having them come here.

Blanleil said aerospace and high-tech are both big in the Scottsdale area, both are “desert� communities, and many people from here already holiday in the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas.

He would like to take the opportunity to “entice� people there to visit Kelowna, citing one common trait of both communities being the abundance of golf courses. “We’ll see if it is a fit,� he said of the upcoming meetings.

Gray and Fine are scheduled to be in Arizona for just one day.

Debate encouraged on pot laws Legal from A1 He noted it’s important that the public let the government in Ottawa know exactly how it feels about the issue. “I believe that something as sensitive as this needs the Canadian public to send a strong signal to government,� said Gray.

So far, publicly, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said he has no intention of legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana.

Despite that position, Gray said he is happy to try and start a national conversation on the issue and he hopes the UBCM will be at that forum.

The mayors who signed the letter to the provincial politicians said they are concerned about growing levels of violence in their communities as a re-

sult of Canada’s current marijuana laws, the presence of organized crime and the costs to deal with those issues. “Given the ongoing gang activity, widespread availability of marijuana and high costs associated with enforcement, leaders at all levels of government must take responsibility for marijuana policy,� the letter said. “We are asking you as provincial leaders to take a new approach to marijuana regulation.�

Gray said he would like to see a forum at the UBCM meeting in September because that could include other points of view necessary for a proper discussion of the issue.

He agreed a concern for municipalities is the level of funding for policing due to drug crimes, saying he was told 70 per cent of all drug crimes in this country are related to marijuana.

Heavy smoke damage in house fire Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

A West Kelowna woman was too upset to speak to media after returning to her home Monday to find smoke billowing out the door.

Neighbours said Mary Simpson was with a friend when she came home to her Westlake Gardens residence, off Butt Road and Louie Drive, and opened the door to find her entrance full of thick smoke.

Fire crews were called and managed to snuff the blaze out quickly, according to West Kelowna Fire Chief Wayne Schnitzler, though not before the fire took its toll. “There is heavy smoke damage,� said Schnitzler, noting crews had to throw many of her smoke-damaged belongings out onto a backyard patio.

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

WEST KELOWNA Fire Chief Wayne Schnitzler explains the situation at a fire in a Westlake Gardens home, off Butt Road and Louie Drive.

Simpson, who was pegged by neighbours as being in her 70s, spent the immediate aftermath recuperating with her daughter

in a nearby home. She had apparently just had a cast removed after an unrelated fall.

The call to the fire de-

partment came shortly after 2 p.m. The West Kelowna fire department did not have a cause by press time.

A frontier form of justice

W

hen it comes to the drug world, frontier justice can offer a deadly twist of fate, which too often has little to do with the authorities we empower to control such criminal activity.

In Mexico, the drug cartels shooting each other up these days is probably more wild than the wild west of the 1800s ever was. But like the marshall in the small town without the resources to control warring enemy factions, the shooting and killing goes on unabated.

We’re seeing that play out again in the aftermath of the gang shooting that took place last summer here in Kelowna, as gunmen shot up a departing SUV from the Delta Grand Hotel entrance, killing the infamous Jonathon Bacon, wounding Hells Angel associate Larry Amero, and leaving a niece of another Hells Angel associate paralyzed from her gunshot wounds.

It was a traumatic event, one that police authorities pledged to get to the bottom of in the in-

vestigation to follow. But most people realize that the police, like that small-town marshall back in the wild west, would be bystanders as the drug world carried out its own form of justice. Police said a high-ranking gangster involved in the drug trade who was shot at a Starbucks in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, last Friday appeared to be linked to the trail of retaliatory hits that have been carried on in recent months.

RCMP Chief Supt. Dan Malo, the head of the RCMP’s

Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, spoke to the media last weekend of the need in the Lower Mainland for a heightened awareness of gang violence in light of the Nuevo Vallarta hit.

In Kelowna, all the “heightened awareness” we need was illustrated when the exit to one of the more prestigious hotels in town was turned into a shooting gallery. Unfortunately, we also know how difficult it is for the police to arrest those responsible before they are killed.

More mayors should follow Lake Country’s Baker on pot issue

T

he call for legalization—or at least decriminalization—of marijuana in B.C. is getting louder. Last week eight B.C. mayors—including James Baker of Lake Country, Robert Sawatzky of Vernon, Chris Pieper of Armstrong, Howie Cyr of Enderby, John Ranns of Metchosin on Vancouver Island, Darrell Mussamotto of the City of North Vancouver, Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson—released a letter they had all signed calling on Victoria to tax and regulate the drug as a way to stop gang violence in this province and help make communities safer.

province’s marijuana industry is controlled by criminal groups and the total industry is now worth $7 billion per year.

“It is time to tax and strictly regulate marijuana under a public health framework,” wrote the mayors.

The fact the letter was written by four rural area mayors—leaders of smaller B.C. communities—as well as three big city mayors shows that the issue is not just one that affects the Lower Mainland.

With the federal Conservative government making it clear it will not support any relaxation of the current laws concerning marijuana at the national level, any move by the province is likely still a long ways off. But

that does not mean the mayors’ call should go unheeded.

As B.C. municipalities like to say, there is strength in numbers. So, more mayors should join the call.

Here in the Central Okanagan, Kelowna’s, West Kelowna’s and Peachland’s mayors should jump aboard the wagon Baker has helped set in motion.

The Lake County mayor deserves credit for taking a stand on a controversial topic.

Now, do his colleagues in the other Central Okanagan municipalities have the guts to follow suit?

▼ TEACHERS WANT MORE

▼ TEACHERS STILL GIVING

Teachers’ hands out while students suffer

Fine example set by MBSS

To the editor: What happened to: “It’s all for the kids.”

When the furor first started about teachers’ demands, according to them it was all for the sake of the children. Then came demands for themselves—more money—less extraneous duties, and so it went on.

The strike was supposed to cure everything—the teachers would get everything they asked for. But the government was unwilling to play and the teachers were legislated back to work.

Now those same teachers who were working for the sake of the children have found a way to get their revenge.

Graduation—the grand finale of our school year when we have planned and worked so hard fund raising with bottle drives and other activities to enable us to participate in the Dry Grad designed by you to keep us safe.

Now a lot of that is being quashed by the refusal of the teachers to get

involved unless the events have been booked a long time ahead and only if they occur at school during regular hours.

I wonder how (Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association president) Alice Rees and all the other teachers would have felt if this had happened to them at their grad? Would they like the idea of it happening to their children? I doubt if the students will carry very happy memories of their teachers as they face the future.

I think it is despicable behaviour on the teachers’ part and it is going to lose them a lot of respect, if that has not been lost already.

Yes, we all know it costs a large amount to get an education and teachers degree, but the salary they are getting at the moment is far ahead of many non-qualified workers and their cost of living expenses are exactly the same unless, of course, they think they have the right to a higher standard of living?

C. Hodgkinson, West Kelowna

To the editor: After reading your article about the extracurricular school activities being taken away from the students, I felt compelled to write to you about a school on the Westside that still has teachers that do extracurricular activities with the students.

Where else but Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary—they just happen to have a dedicated group of teachers that care about their students.

Last time I checked, we do live in a democratic country and these teachers have every right to do so. Correct me if I am wrong, but the after-school activities are done on a voluntary basis. These after-school activities have nothing to do with the government (not that they care anyway ) or the teachers’ contract, it is all voluntary.

My son goes to MBSS and he is lucky to do so because he is involved in school sports. When he has a rugby coach that is willing to give up his Sunday afternoon and stay at the school until 5:30 p.m. three days a week (with no pay) to have a rugby practice, what does that tell you?

I could go on but I think you get what I am saying.

I just want to say to all the teachers at MBSS that are still using their free time to coach these students, thank you from me and all the other parents whose children are involved in sports at MBSS. Trust me, you mean a lot to these students because I hear it from my son every day how much the students appreciate you being there for them.

Good on you MBSS Al Turner, West Kelowna

▼ COMMUNITY PROTECTION

not being able to hit the broadside of a barn, it doesn’t take a good shot if you are armed with an uzi or other automatic weapon capable of firing up to 600 rounds a minute.

You are correct that only one gangster was killed in the gangland slaying in Kelowna, but he was the main target so that kind of blows your theory out of the water.

I totally disagree with your statement that police are in the death dealing business and should have psychological training.

We don’t live in a third world country. Our police are in the peace keeping business and are there to serve and protect and I think they do a fine job.

Now with regard to the toy guns scenario.

Yes, toy guns are toys but, unfortunately, they are made to resemble real weapons, and if I saw a group acting the way some of these kids were acting, I would not be going in to have a closer look to see if they had orange paint on the barrels, I would be heading the op-

posite direction and be on my phone calling 911, which is precisely what other citizens have done.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that I could take a can of fluorescent orange paint and spray the barrel of my very real gun. Voila I can now wave it around and obviously in your world no one should be concerned and the police could just walk away from my very obvious toy.

I don’t think so.

I can only imagine what would hit the papers

if someone called in regarding armed citizens on the street and the police response was: Go and have a good look, make sure the barrels aren’t painted orange and give us a call back and we will attend.

I think you should give your head a shake.

As far as the police using excessive force there is an old saying: Never take a knife to a gunfight.

Author updates evolution of Okanagan wine industry Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Local wine drinkers often don’t realize how good B.C. wines are on the global stage, comments wine writer and critic John Schreiner, who has just published the

fourth, expanded edition of his Okanagan Wine Tour Guide.

“B.C. doesn’t compete at the low end of the scale.

But, it shines with wines in the $15 to $50 range,” explained Shreiner.

“They go up favourably against wines from

anywhere in the world.”

He also feels that the industry contributes far more to local economies in B.C. than most people realize.

“It would be interesting to do a value-added look at the industry. The wine industry has done

very well,” he said.

And Schreiner has documented the Okanagan wine industry’s growth and evolution.

He’s been touring this wine region for the past four decades, starting when only a few wineries were open, and he says there’s little resemblance to the impressive wines available today.

He remembers just a dozen years ago there were only about 40 wineries in B.C. Today, there are in the order of 230, and the number grows every day.

“The industry has grown despite everything.

It’s a major industry in B.C. now,” Schreiner said.

Over the years, he’s seen not only the vines mature, but also the vineyard culture and the winemakers.

Good wine begins in the vineyard, he noted, as the bulk of the Okanagan’s vineyards were planted since the 1990s when the federal government’s grape pullout program resulted in a move to vinif-

era from labrusca grapes and to creation of a premium wine industry.

Those vines are just beginning to mature and produce fruit with distinctive, complex flavours as their roots have grown deep into the earth.

A new level of viticultural expertise has also come into the valley in the past decade, which Schreiner says has resulted in a noticeable difference in the quality of wines produced here.

Even Okanagan College is providing better training for those in the ®

wine industry, he adds.

While Schreiner is unabashedly a champion of B.C. wines, it’s not without the experience and credentials to back it up, including tours of the world’s wine-producing regions and wine judging gigs across Canada and abroad.

He is a graduate of the German Wine Academy and former chair of the selection committee of the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival.

In his wine tour guides, Schreiner profiles the people behind the wines and the wineries, providing a picture of something other than technical details about each, but including his recommendations and best bets.

He remembers in the early 1980s attending one of the first Okangan Wine Festivals to judge the wines.

“They tended to be Germanic in style. The whites were pretty good, but the reds, frankly, were not very good,” he recalled.

“They’d come from over-cropped hybrids, so they were made from acidic grapes which had to be manipulated in the winery.

“The resulting wine was thin and tart. It was disappointing.”

However, he says, today, he comes to the valley from his home in the Lower Mainland and returns with cases of wine, all of which are “firstrate.”

Festivals, he says, are important to bring people to the Okanagan to try the wines. In order for that to work, you have to put on some wine dinners and do some schmoozing with the winemakers, he adds.

“There’s a high volume of wine sold during the festivals,” he noted.

Visiting wineries is very personal. It’s an important part of the experience of tasting wines, he says.

The18th annual Spring Okanagan Wine Festival begins Thursday, May 3, and continues through to May 13, with hundreds of events planned throughout the Okanagan.

For details, go to: www.thewinefestivals. com or pick up a copy of the brochure at tourism offices or wherever local wines are sold.

Schreiner’s book is also available at most wineries and wherever books are sold. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Computer literacy project backed by Interior Savings Interior Savings Credit Union has donated $25,000 to a computer-literacy program for low-income individuals and those struggling with homelessness.

Through the work of the Learning Exchange at UBC’s Okanagan and community partners, the need for such a program was identified and Interior Savings stepped up to provide the funding while UBC students will provide the training.

“Interior Savings has seen the value in the work we do in collaboration with community partners right from the start. Their support allows us to create innovative and outsidethe-box projects and pro-

grams,” said Phil Bond, Learning Exchange manager at the UBCO campus.

“What I like about this program is it removes the barriers for individuals who are looking to improve their computer skills, and puts them into a comfortable environment,” Bond said.

He added that early feedback from students has been very positive. “They are really enjoying the opportunity to give back to the community and are learning about themselves in the process.”

To get the program off the ground, funding was needed to acquire 20 laptops with the appropriate

software packages. The capital support from Interior Savings made the program possible.

“As a locally based credit union, our success is closely tied to the health and vitality of the communities we serve,” said Kathy Conway, president and CEO of Interior Savings.

“The UBC Learning Exchange provides a unique opportunity for us to support students in their efforts to strengthen the community.”

The program will be sustainable and plans are to offer it for many years with multiple community partners focused on expanding opportunities for the clients.

Green Globe awards bestowed upon UBCO’s Fipke Centre

The Charles E. Fipke Centre for Innovative Research and the adjacent Arts & Sciences Building at the UBC Okanagan campus have both been awarded five Green Globes Awards.

These are both the first campus buildings in the world to each receive five Green Globes and the first paired buildings to attain this distinction.

Both buildings were designed by Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning Ltd, (Kasian), in collaboration with the UBC Properties Trust.

Green Globes is a revolutionary online auditing tool designed to acknowledge buildings that improve environmental performance with regard to management, site, energy, water, resources, emissions and indoor environment.

Developed in Canada and administered by the Building Owners and Managers Association, the Green Globes program has been adopted throughout North America, based on a graduated rating system, ranging from one to five Green Globes.

An evaluation of five Green Globes is the highest eco-ranking level available and reserved for select building designs which serve as national or world leaders in energy and environmental performance.

Among the energy efficiency attributes of the 70,816 sq. ft Fipke Centre is the first building at the UBCO campus to use a geo-exchange groundwater energy system for heating and cooling. T Both the Fipke Centre and the Arts & Sciences Building contain laboratories, classrooms, student commons and offices to support a wide variety of innovative research projects. The Arts & Sciences Building also includes a theatre and an animal care facility.

Creating an energy-efficient building that houses one or more laboratories poses significant challenges, as laboratories and education facilities are amongst the most energy-intensive building types.

On average, a laboratory consumes five to 10 times more energy per square foot than an average office building.

Identifying three types of truth A couple of recent cases involving allegations of misconduct by teachers got me thinking about how little the truth really matters in our legal system. Well, the real truth, that is.

It seems to me that, when it comes to adjudication forums, there are three types of truth—the actual truth, the version of the truth which each competing party asserts, and the truth as the adjudicator ultimately determines it.

Which reminds me of former U.S. secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld’s three categories of knowledge. In February 2002, Rumsfeld attended a press briefing where he addressed the absence of evidence linking the government of Iraq with the supply of weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups.

In the course of that briefing, he stated, “There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.

We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—there are things we do not know we don’t know.

I’m not certain that my three types of truth rank up there with Rumsfeld’s three categories of knowledge (and, frankly, I’m not certain that I want them to).

The actual truth of a situation is what really happened. Not what people perceive the events to have been but what really and truly occurred.

The actual truth will almost never be known in a given case and will almost never be the version which the parties assert or the one which the adjudicator ultimately accepts as the complete truth.

Because unless the situation could be recorded—both in a three dimensional visual and audio sense —that version will largely be lost to the mists of time.

Even in famous cases in which video evidence of the events exists

YOU WORK —Robert Dziekansbeing tasered at the HERE ki Vancouver airport in

2007 comes to mind – it is impossible to know everything that happened and have Robert a totally accurate reSmithson cord of it.

Life is not like a televised sporting event in which each play can be reviewed from innumerable angles to see who did what to whom, whether the puck crossed the line, whether the ball touched the ground before being caught.

And human minds are absolutely nothing like video/audio recorders—we recall things the way we want to and we have a tendency to fill in gaps in our recollection.

The version of the truth which each competing party asserts is a wholly unreliable record of what actually happened.

As humans, we retain only disjointed snippets of information and we start losing that recollection almost immediately.

I recall seeing a car strike a pedestrian a few years ago as I was driving to a hockey game one evening.

I stopped and gave my name and contact information because I had been positioned in such a way that I had a clear view of what occurred.

As I watched the scenario developing, I recall saying out loud, “He’s going to hit him…he’s going to hit him…” (and then he hit him).

I thought I had the whole scenario stuck in my mind, partly because it turned out the pedestrian was an acquaintance of mine.

And yet, months later when an investigator called me to get my version, there were significant aspects which I could no longer recall with accuracy.

Was my car the first one in line next to the crosswalk or was there a car positioned in front of mine?

Did I see the pedestrian the entire time he was crossing the street or did I only pick him up as he crossed the centre line into the on-

coming lane?

When the vehicle struck him, did he land on the roadway or was he thrown over the curb onto the grass?

Even more troubling, we humans have a tendency to assert a version of the truth which is favourable to ourselves.

If that wasn’t the case, and if we could all be trusted to be totally objective in our recall, there wouldn’t be a need for cross-examination and for devices such as lie detectors.

The only version of the truth which really counts, of course, is the version the adjudicator accepts as what must have happened.

Anyone who has worked in the legal system—lawyers, judges, arbitrators, jury members—will know that what an adjudicator decides must have happened (whether on a balance of probabilities or a beyond a reasonable doubt standard) in any given case can be drastically different than the actual truth.

Wrongful convictions of innocent individuals such as David Milgaard amply demonstrate that the version of the truth accepted by a judge or jury can be wildly inaccurate.

Still, the reality of our legal system—and all the adjudicative processes it comprises—that we are stuck with other fallible humans as decision makers.

It’s why lawyers will sometimes tell clients that the truth doesn’t matter. What matters is what the adjudicator believes the truth to be.

I think that, referring back to Rumsfeld’s categories of knowledge, the outcome of many adjudicative processes might qualify as an “unknown unknown.”

The adjudicator doesn’t know that he or she doesn’t know what really happened.

Where to seek out financing for that entrepreneurial dream O

ver the past 30 years, we have witnessed a tremendous resurgence of entrepreneurial activity around the world.

One indication of that was the launching of the inaugural National Entrepreneurship Week in the U.S., which in turn spawned the initiation of

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young Global Entrepreneurship Week, held during the

third week of November for the past three years.

Global Entrepreneurship Week engaged more than 65 nations of the world that have embraced the notion that entrepreneurs may be described as aggressive catalysts for change in the world of business ventures, individuals who recog-

nize opportunities where others see chaos, contradiction or even confusion.

Many of these global economies have been revitalized because of the efforts of entrepreneurs, and I for one am happy to report how the world has increasingly turned to free enterprise as a model for economic development.

Recently, I wrote in this column about the entrepreneurial idea and how the search and investigation of it may begin a personal transformation of the entrepreneur behind it.

Of course, transforming the idea into an opportunity becomes a critical element in the entrepreneurial process itself, but it’s not the singu-

lar element of success.

This week, as the calendar brings us well into 2012, I want to offer you my thoughts about what the world of entrepreneurial pursuit presents to our society.

Wouldn’t you love to have a bag of dollars fall into your lap to launch your first entrepreneurial venture? Me too. With a great analyzed idea and a phenomenal business plan, you can convince yourself to feel entitled to receive the funding you’re requiring to move to the next step.

But then reality sets in.

For most entrepreneurs, first comes proving a new venture concept will work before first before anyone will put up the bundle

of cash you need to join the ranks of the rich and famous.

For years, I have heard the treatise that poor management is most frequently the reason businesses fail. If that’s so, let me be clear—inadequate or illtimed financing is a close second.

Hence, when exploring your funding options, there are a few factors to think about: • Are your needs short or long-term? How quickly will you be able to repay a loan or return on someone’s investment in your idea?

• Is the money you seek for operating or capital expenditures that may become assets, such as equipment or real estate?

• Do you need the money now or in smaller portions over a defined time period?

• Are you willing to assume all the risk if your company doesn’t succeed and do you understand related implications, or do you want someone to share the risk with you?

Providing yourself answers to these questions will help you prioritize your funding options.

There are two types of financing available for your entrepreneurial idea/ venture launch.

One is debt financing

where you borrow money and agree to pay it back in a predetermined timeframe at a set interest rate. You owe the money whether your venture succeeds or not.

The other is equity financing where you sell partial ownership in your venture in exchange for cash. The investor assumes all or most of the risk, so if the venture idea fails, they lose their money.

But, if your venture succeeds, then the investors typically make much greater return on their investment than prevailing interest rates.

But those aren’t the only options that should be considered. Others include: • friends and family • credit cards • bank loans • leasing • angel investors • private lending The key preparation step in all this is to put together a great business plan, talk to a financial adviser or entrepreneurial coach, and just start asking for financial support.

Someone will eventually say, “ Yes.” Joel Young is the founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

SPORTS Osland on course at California school Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Driving on a busy California freeway and driving a golf ball down the fairway in NCAA Div. 1 women’s golf competition have both been eye-openers for Megan Osland.

The 18-year-old Kelowna Secondary School grad is happy to report both tasks are going relatively well in her freshman year at San Jose State University.

“I’m learning how to drive on the freeways here, so that’s new to me,” said Osland, who lives on campus at SJSU. “I was a little nervous at first, but it’s not all that bad once you do it a few times. I’m getting used to the traffic, now.”

Much like weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds, Osland is also adjusting to the considerable step up to the top level of collegiate golf in North America.

On a full-ride scholarship with the SJSU Spartans’ women’s program, Osland has gone through some predictable ups and

downs in her rookie season, but is generally pleased with her progress on the golf course. Individually, she has posted a pair of top 10s at NCAA tournaments during the 201112 season, and has an overall scoring average of 76.10.

Two weekends ago, despite battling a cold, Osland helped the Spartans win their fourth consecutive Western Athletic Conference title in Mesa, Arizona.

She tied for 11th place overall with a 226 (73-7578) total.

“It’s going really good so far,” Osland said of her first season of NCAA competition. “I’ve learned so much about golf already, and how much room for improvement there is in my game.

“There are a lot of really good players at this level, you can learn so much from them. Playing against schools like UCLA and USC, I just love the competition.”

Osland enjoyed her share of success back home in Canada, particularly in 2011. She finished

zone 2 Okanagan championship and, in the process, carded a course record round of 66 at Canoe Creek at Salmon Arm. It’s just that kind of potential SJSU head coach John Dormann hopes will carry Osland on to a long and successful stay with the Spartans’ program.

Dormann said while Osland hasn’t been quite as consistent as he would have preferred in her first season, he expects that to change with hard work, maturity and time.

“Megan was probably a little better in the fall than she’s been this spring, but it’s not unusual to see freshman go through a growth period when they’re stepping up the ladder to this le-

“We have a lot of allAmericans on the walls at our university,” Dormann added. “We envision Megan having the ability to do that, too.”

Osland hopes the best golf of her freshman season will come May 10 to 12 when the Spartans compete at the NCAA Div. 1 regional playoffs.

‘Character wins’ for Athletics Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Evan Bailey has seen better weekends of baseball from his Okanagan A’s.

Still, it was the way his club battled back to take

three of four games from the North Delta Blue Jays at Elks Stadium that is the most encouraging sign for the head coach.

All three victories were of the come-frombehind variety as the A’s pushed their season rec-

ord to 12-4, and a share of top spot in the B.C. Premier Baseball League.

“I don’t think we really played to our ability, but one important thing was we that got the result we were looking for,” said Bailey. “The other important thing is that those were character wins. Winning those one-run games, those can make a difference at the end of the year.

“It allows your guys to understand that when they are in those situations, they have the ability to come back. It’s a real shot for their confidence.”

In the series opener, the A’s scored three times in the sixth to knock off the Jays 7-6.

Josh Croft singled in James Ward with the game winner. Ward had three hits, while Rees Weninger picked up the win in relief.

In Game 2, more late heroics as the A’s rang up three runs in the seventh for a 4-3 verdict.

to victory. Croft pitched 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief for the win.

On Sunday, the A’s rebounded from a 3-0 deficit to edge North Delta 4-3. Ward, who had two RBIs, knocked in Brandon Sonnenberg with the game winner in the 10th inning.

Starter James Walker went 8 1/3 solid innings and struck out nine but didn’t figure in the decision.

“He was great again,” Bailey said of Walker, whose ERA is a miniscule 1.04. “That’s by far the best he’s pitched.”

Croft won his second game of the weekend with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.

And when he wasn’t pitching or delivering key hits, Croft was making a number of spectacular plays at shortstop.

“He was absolutely stellar,” Bailey said of Croft. “He made a couple sliding plays up the middle that were unbelievable. He’s the best athlete we have, I can’t say

The Athletics will have the weekend off from league play, but will be in Calgary for a tournament beginning Thursday.

The A’s return to PBL action May 12 and 13 against the White Rock Tritons.

JUNIOR A’S… The Okanagan junior A’s won the series opener, but couldn’t maintain

the momentum as they dropped three of four BCJPBL games to the visiting Whalley Chiefs over the weekend at Edith Gay Park. The A’s are now 1-7 on the season.

In Game 1 Saturday, the A’s overcame a 10-2 deficit to edge the Chiefs 13-12.

James Walker had three RBIs and Christian Dupas scored three times, while Reid Foreman picked up the win in relief.

In Game 2, Whalley bounced back for a

The junior A’s will travel to Surrey this weekend for four games with the White Rock Tritons.

Fresh Air Experience, the Kelowna Running Club and the YM-YWCA have teamed up to institute a running series for kids.

This series will take place at three existing Kelowna races this year—the MidSummer 8k (July 15), the Larry Nicholas Memorial Cross Country (Oct. 21) and the Fresh Air Experience Ladies 10K/5K (June 10).

There will be four age classes: 7-and-under; 8–10; 11-13; and 14- 15.

The 7-and-under kids will run approximately 1K, while the rest of the age classes will run, approximately, but no further than, 3K. Entry fees will be by donation, with the minimum donation covering the race insurance, and 100 per cent of donations above the minimum going to the Y’s Strong Kids Program.

There will be souvenirs for all entrants and awardsW for the top three in each age group. At the final run in the series there will be awards for the overall series leaders in each class.

To qualify for the end of series awards the runners must have competed in at least two of the races.

Rockets to pick 9th at bantam draft With the ninth pick overall, Lorne Frey doesn’t necessarily expect to land a high-end prospect who will be ready to make a huge impact in the Western Hockey League within a year or two.

Still, the Kelowna Rockets assistant general manager and director of scouting fully expects to get a quality 1997-born player on Thursday morning at the WHL bantam draft in Calgary.

“It’s a good position, we should get a good player,” said Frey. “I think

every team is going to get good players. The parity amongst players is incredible. There are maybe one or two franchise-type players available.

We’re pretty young and pretty solid on the back end so we’d like to get a forward with our first pick. But having said that if the people we are interested in aren’t available, we may take another defenceman.”

The Rockets won’t have a secondround choice this year, but Frey said the overall quality of player available

in the draft should help compensate for the void.

Frey said player development has closed the gap between the top prospects and the rest of the field of potential players. “There are a lot of good players,” he said. “The gap continues to close as far as overall abilities. There are so many kids out there in the same category and at the same levels. We go into this looking to get good players. You want to get four or five good players that can play

in the league a few years down the road.” Looking back at last year’s bantam draft, Frey said the Rockers are pleased with the showings of some of their 1996-born prospects. First overall pick Rourke Chartier and second rounder Austin Glover both played for the Saskatchewan Contacts which won the Saskatchewan midget AAA league. Third-round pick Riley Stadel impressed in a late season call-up to the Rockets, and fifth-rounders Justin Kirkland and Ryan Donaldson also

had good seasons. Frey said another trend in hockey has seen smaller players having success in the WHL and the NHL, making the draft process even more dificult. “You always want to get good size and guys that can skate but what is making it more difficult is there are so many good smaller players and they have shown they are capable of playing in the league.” WHL fans can watch the first round of the 2012 WHL bantam Draft live online via web cast at whl.ca.

B.C. high school golf championships scrapped Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The Immaculata Mustangs won’t get a chance to defend their B.C. high school boys A golf title this spring.

The Kelowna Owls, Rutland Voodoos, Mt. Boucherie Bears and George Elliot Coyotes can all forget about provincials, too.

B.C. School Sports announced last week that the 2012 B.C. high school golf championships at all three levels—AAA, AA and A—have been cancelled.

The decision came down after public school teachers in B.C. voted 73 per cent in favour of withdrawing extracurricular activities which, in many cases, includes the coaching and managing of sports teams.

B.C. School Sports golf commissioner Neil Jensen said there simply aren’t enough schools left with functioning golf proKgrams to conduct provincials. r “Before the deadline, we only had 42 tri-

WRESTLING TRYOUTS…

ple-A schools registered to play, and we generally have between 116 and 130,” said Jensen. “After the vote, we had only 28.

You can’t keep the integrity of provincials with such low numbers. All three divisions were adversely affected so, as much as we didn’t want it to come to this, we’ve had to call off provincials.”

Jensen said golf teams at B.C. public schools that choose to continue competing this spring will likely be coached by administrators, volunteers outside the school system, parents, or teachers who have chosen not to support the BCTF’s stance on extracurricular events.

Because Immaculata is an independent school and operates outside of the parameters of the BCTF, Christa Kueber’s ability to coach her Mustangs team has not been affected.

However, because Immaculata competes against public school teams on a regular basis, Kueber said the job action will have direct and disappointing consequences for her Mus-

tangs.

“My kids are gung-ho to play, so this is a shame for them,” said Kueber. “This is as competitive a team as we’ve had, so for them not to be able to challenge to win three provincials in a row is going to be really tough. As an independent school, we haven’t had any say in this and that’s what disappointing.”

And it’s not just golfers at private institutions Kueber sympathizes with.

“It’s too bad for the other schools, too, like Rutland,” added Kueber.

“They have a really competitive group of kids this year and for them not to be able to compete is pretty unfortunate.”

While provincials have been called off, Kueber said high school golf will continue to be played locally on the Central Okanagan tour. The next event is Monday, May 7 at Gallagher’s Canyon, and all local schools are expected to have teams entered, whether they are coached by teachers or volunteers.

ships the weekend of May 14, Kueber said the status and format for those events is unvcertain.

Kueber, who is also commissioner of the Okanagan high school golf association, hopes an alternate, independent version of provincials can be organized to allow local high school players to finish out the season in a competitive environment on the golf course.

As for other spring sports, KSS athletic director and valley soccer commissioner Arnar Bernhardsson said the Okanagan AAA girls’ soccer season is going ahead as planned and will be played in its entirety. Of the seven schools in the AAA division, two will continue to be coached by teachers at those schools.

The staging of the B.C.

School Sports provincial track and field championships in June is in limbo, as are the Okanagan Valley championships slated for later this month in Kelowna.

“So many teachers are needed to run track and field meets, that’s put the provincials in jeopardy,” Bernhardsson said.

The Okanagan Valley AAA boys rugby regular season ended Thursday with KSS defeating Mt. Boucherie. The provincial championship won’t be staged this season as many senior boys rugby programs have folded for the season.

Bernhardsson said junior rugby programs in the valley will continue to function, with administrators and community volunteers serving as coaches and organizers.

BC HYDRO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UPGRADE BC Hydro Crews are working to improve reliability to customers in the area of Old Okanagan Highway to Daimler Road. Between April and September 2012, crews will be working in the area Monday to Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and occasionally on weekends.

For the safety of the public and of work crews, Old Okanagan Highway from Shannon Lake Road to Daimler Road will be single lane alternating traffic until September 2012.

Power line work may require occasional access and temporary traffic adjustments.

To meet required safety clearances, the installation of a new double circuit power line requires replacing the existing poles with taller, newly designed poles. To complete that work safely it will be necessary to have planned power outages. Notification will be provided in advance of planned power outages.

As a result of recent growth in West Kelowna, this work is necessary to ensure continued reliable electrical service for BC Hydro customers in the area.

If you have any questions or concerns please call BC Hydro at 250 549 8581.

BC Hydro appreciates your understanding while completing this work and making public and worker safety a priority.

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.

BAZUIK, STEVE Steve Bazuik was born March 21, 1918 and passed away April 26th 2012. Steve learned the value of hard work growing up in a farming community near Canora, Saskatchewan. Up until age 18, Steve worked on neighboring farms to help support his family, after which he caught a freight train to Northern Ontario to begin a 37 year career in the mining industry. In Sudbury Ontario, Steve met Lena, his loving wife and best friend of 67 years. Steve always believed that if you did something, you did it right; working 27 years without missing a shift, leading award winning mine rescue teams for 10 years, and emphasizing safety as a supervisor showed that he lead by example.

Steve and Lena moved to the beautiful Okanagan in1976, settling first in Winfield, and later on in Rutland—the appeal of golf, curling and handyman work, trout, and salmon fishing on Vancouver Island was the life he enjoyed.

One of Steve’s greatest passions was food, and the Okanagan with fresh fruits and vegetables again surpassed his dreams. Steve was a genius at fixing and inventing practical items; he could look at something that was broken, identify the problem, and correct it. The list of fixed items and inventions could fill a book. Steve’s faith in God and his strong beliefs have prepared him well for the after life.

Steve is survived by his wife Lena, sister Mary, his three children Gary, Linda and James (Debbie), grandchildren Shelly, Savanna, Keegan, Blaise, James, Erika, Robert, and Michael and great-grandchildren Kailen, Sasha, Kirin, and Jayda.

Steve was pre-deceased by his parents Fred and Julia and his siblings Anne, Alex, Doris, Paul, Peter, Ina, and Mike.

Special thank you to Steve’s caregivers at Brandt’s Creek Mews Care Home, May Bennett Care Home and to Dr. Michael Bobyn.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Alzheimer’s Society of BC, 865 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 6P6 or Kelowna General Hospital, 2268 Pandosy Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 1T2.

Prayers on Tuesday, May 1st at 7:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. A Funeral Mass and reception to be held on Wednesday, May 2nd at 10:00 am at the Ukrainian Catholic Church 1091 Coronation Ave. Kelowna BC, with Father Andriy Werbowy as Celebrant.

Thank You

There are still some really great people in the world!

I would like to thank 2 separate Great Samaritans who went out of their way to return some very important signed cheques and deposit book that I set down on the trunk of my car.

My cheques and paperwork got taken up into the wind and blowing all over traffic. One good Samaritan called me and had returned some to me and the other Samaritan apparently braved the traffic and picked them up and brought them to the police station where I could pick them up.

Thanks ever so much, from the guy who will never set his paperwork on the trunk again.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen pork with wine Celebrate spring in a local vineyard with one of the country’s most popular small festivals, the Spring Okanagan Wine Festival, May 4 through 13, with more than a hundred events throughout the Okanagan.

Of the four seasonal wine festivals, this is my favourite for locals to attend and meet the winemakers, when they’re not madly trying to harvest and crush grapes while talking to you about the resulting wines—and spring is a most exciting time of year, when the new year’s growth begins to unfurl and the sap starts to run.

This year, along with the ever-popular Westjet Wine Tastings this weekend and the Best of the Best Wine Awards and Reception at the Laurel Thurs., May 3 at 2 p.m. to kick off the festival, there’s a new event being put on in the south of the valley that intrigues me.

Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country is preparing to Pig Out at Covert Farms, nestled in the shoulder of McIntyre Bluff, on Saturday, May 5, from 1 to 4 p.m., and you’re invited to join in. Chefs from five local winery restaurants will prepare pork dishes, while all 24 wineries from the area will be on hand to pour samples of their wines to pair with them. Tickets are available online at www.baneepigout.eventbrite.com Participating chefs are from the Mica Restaurant at Spirit Ridge; Miradoro at Tinhorn Creek, The Patio at Nk’Mip Cellars, The Sonora Room at Burrowing Owl and Terrafina at Hester Creek. The event is part of the Banee Weekend, a celebration of the end of the pruning and beginning of a new season in the vineyard.

For details of other festival events around the valley, go to the website at: www.thewinefestivals.com or pick up a festival brochure from a nearby chamber or tourism office, winery or liquor outlet.

For suggested wine pairings for some of your favourite foods, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, which includes margin notes on his thoughts on B.C. wines to pair with many of the 200 or so recipes, by renowned wine writer and critic John Schreiner.

The book is available at many wineries and wine shops, as well as bookstores and the B.C. Wine Museum.

Liam's Sweet 'n Sticky Pork Ribs This 24-hour recipe was contributed by the chef at The Patio at Nk’Mip Cellars, Liam McNaulty, but there’s no guarantee this will be one of the dishes at the Pig-Out! He suggests this dish be paired with the Qwam Qwmp Syrah. “It weaves intricate flavours of wild field blueberries, spice aromatics and cedar shavings,” he says. It is a medium structured wine with the obvious tastes of cracked pepper, classic smoked meats and dried plum; well-balanced with a supple vanilla finish, he concludes.

4 sides pork back ribs 2 c. (500 ml) brown sugar 2 tbsp. (30 ml) salt 1/4 c. (60 ml) gaujillo (ground,dried chili pepper)

1/4 c. (60 ml) black pepper 1/4 c. (60 ml) water 3/4 c. (175 ml) honey 1 bag wood chips Combine dry ingredients and spread over the ribs. Marinate in the fridge overnight.

Remove from fridge and mix together water and honey. Turn on the smoker, add the wood chips and wait for a good smoke to develop.

Place ribs on racks in smoker and start smoking.

Baste ribs with honey mixture every 45 minutes for six to eight hours or until meat is falling off the bone.

Serves a crowd.

JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Shiraz-sauce Pork with Grapes Pork tenderloin is frequently available for a good price, yet it’s incredibly tender, fat-free and succulent, particularly roasted quickly and smothered in a red wine sauce.

We used the 2009 Mission Hill Family Estate Reserve Shiraz for the sauce and to accompany the dinner and it was a perfect pairing, with its dark fruity flavour, spicy overtones and the smooth and velvety feel in the mouth.

PORK RUB: 1 tsp. (5 ml) fresh rosemary 1 tsp. (5 ml) cumin powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) brown sugar 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) sea salt 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) black pepper 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) five spice powder 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) cayenne pepper drizzle of oil

1 pork tenderloin 16 small mushrooms

SAUCE: 4 large green onions 2 garlic cloves 16 large grapes 1 c. (250 ml) shiraz Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Finely chop fresh rosemary and combine with other spices for the pork rub.

Remove the silverskin from the pork tenderloin and clean small mushrooms.

Cover the outside of the pork with the rub and set aside.

In a cast iron frypan, or an ovenproof one, heat a drizzle of grapeseed oil over high heat.

Quickly brown the pork on all sides, add the mushrooms and

turn them about for a minute. Put the pan in the hot oven for about 20 minutes, or until the pork is barely cooked through.

Meanwhile slice up the onions, mince the garlic and halve the grapes.

When the pork is just cooked, remove to a board, cover with foil and let it rest for a few minutes while you make the sauce.

Over medium-high heat, deglaze the pan with a glass of wine and add the onions, garlic and grapes to the mushrooms. Let it bubble away while the liquid evaporates for a few minutes and the sauce thickens.

Slice the pork, arrange on a serving plate and drizzle the sauce over top.

Serves 4.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt

*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh

*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
