opposed to other organizations that work in this area, is that over 80 per cent of the funds raised go directly to programs.” On the ground, this means that any local chapter has to come up with fundraising initiatives that are cost-effective to produce and not very elaborate. From beer nights to a Nights of Arabia fundraiser she organized

in the Edmonton public library and a thematic wine, cheese and speaker’s presentation—Nelson said she has come up with some crafty ideas in her four years raising funds. And perhaps one of her more crafty is a partnership she’s struck with Crystal Flaman, of the Frank Flaman Foundation. Crystal is an endurance athlete and social entrepreneur who has run 100-kilometre runs for charity and organized epic trips, like her tandem ride across the country with her twin to raise money for the Heart And Stroke Foundation. Her mission is “to assist individuals and organizations to strive to not only be the best in the world, but also the best for the world,” and Nelson is hoping her participation will jump-start the Okanagan effort. The Flaman Foundation, named in honour of her father, entrepreneur and philanthropist Frank Flaman, has helped support development projects and charitable efforts in countries around the world, including Room to Read.

Joining a chapter basically amounts to becoming a part of the fundraising engine. Room to Read sponsors girls to go to school who might otherwise be sold into indentured labour as a child bride. It builds libraries, with an agreement from the government of the country receiving the donation that it will provide the librarians to run it. And it finds local authors to pen stories in different languages and cultural contexts than one might conjure in North America. Room to Read has won the UNESCO Eucation, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s International Literacy Prize and received a rating of 67.18 out of 70 on Charity Navigator, one of the best ratings awarded by the American non-profit evaluator. The first meeting will occur on Saturday, March 23, at 10 a.m., on the second floor of InVue, 2040 Springfield Rd. Anyone interested in getting involved is asked to contact Nelson at the.pj.nelson@gmail.com jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Chance to gab with the premier Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

What would you say if you had 30 seconds of face time with B.C.’s premier? That’s the question for 30 local business people who will have the opportunity to “speed” network with Christy Clark next Wednesday in Kelowna. Local business people planning to gather for the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce’s monthy Business After Hours event will not just have each other to rub shoulders with. They will also have the premier. The chamber, B.C.’s second largest chamber of commerce, has announced Christy Clark will attend the business networking event at the Laurel Packinghouse March 20.

There are people who have book smarts and then there are people who excel on the ground, in the trenches so to speak, and the latest Room to Read initiative lands somewhere in between. Conceived of by a Microsoft executive while he was traveling, Room to Read creates libraries, sponsors students and funds culturally sensitive and language-appropriate books for children in developing nations. “We strongly believe that every child, no matter where they were born or what circumstances they were born into, deserves to receive an education and reach their full potential,” said John Wood and Tim Koogle, board co-chairs, in a letter that opens the organization’s annual report. It was a book by Wood on founding the organization, entitled Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, that inspired Pat Nelson to found a chapter in Edmonton. Now she is hoping to do the same in Kelowna. “I’m a librarian. I had a daughter who was getting an education and the whole idea of how poor the kids in the developing world were, and the fact that they had no access to literacy, really got me,” said Nelson. Listening to a CBC panel on Africa recently, she said it really struck

‘No words to describe grief, shock’—father Cheryl Weirda CONTRIBUTOR

A young man whose greatest fear was dying in a traffic crash was described as loving, helpful and affable by his grieving family at the sentencing hearing of the drunk driver who killed him. At 2:15 a.m. on Nov. 22, 2009, Matthew Heenan, 23, was struck and killed by a Chevrolet Equinox as he crossed through the intersection of Clement Avenue and Ellis Street after leaving Flashbacks night club. In an agreed statement of facts, Crown counsel Frank Caputo said it was unclear what colour the light was when the collision occurred and whether the Coldstream man was running, skipping or walking. What was clear was the driver of the Equinox, West Kelowna’s Bradley Smith, was found to have a blood alcohol level of between 140 and 150 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood in the two hours after the crash. The legal limit is 80 milligrams. He was also found to be driving 14 to 19 kilometres over the speed limit. During the sentencing hearing Tuesday, the court heard how Smith’s actions led to a dreaded knock at

Matthew Heenan the door at 5 a.m. “There are no words to describe the grief and shock” to be woken and told your child is dead, said father Michael Heenan. “My world, our world, stopped,” said mother Jo Heenan. Not a day goes by that they don’t think of him, she said, and the pain is “still as raw as the first night.” “We had no chance to say good bye, to say how much we loved him, how proud we were of him,” said Michael. There will be no marriage, no grandchildren by their son, no more future happy moments with him, added his mom. “It all ended abruptly because of a stranger’s terrible choice,” she said. “His deliberate decision destroyed our life. God may forgive him. We will not,” said Michael. Matthew’s sister, Robyn, said her brother

had been injured in two previous traffic collisions and feared being hit by a truck. He was a young man who filled a room with his voice and was always rescuing people and animals. “He thought of others first,” Robyn said. His father remembered him for his good humour, affability and strong moral beliefs. Later, Smith told the court that he thinks of Matthew every day. “Because of my actions, they’ve lost their son,” Smith said, adding there is nothing he can do to change that. “I don’t ask forgiveness, but somehow you find peace,” he said. Defence Joe Gordon said Smith, now 51, was nearly suicidal after realizing the outcome of the crash and has “deep remorse” and “shame.” “Drinking and driving that night was the worst decision he made in his life,” said Gordon, adding that Smith has not had a drink of liquor since the crash. The conviction has cost him his job and he faces civil litigation, said Gordon. As well, Smith will be separated from his teenaged child, who is ill, while incarcerated. Smith pleaded guilty to driving with a blood

ROBYN HEENAN/CONTRIBUTOR

MICHAEL AND JO Heenan, the parents of Matthew Heenan, leave the Kelowna courthouse about 10 minutes

after learning that a West Kelowna man was sentenced to two years in jail and handed a three-year driving prohibition for driving a vehicle while impaired that collided with their 23-year-old son at the corner of Clement and Ellis in downtown Kelowna which resulted in his death. “There are no words to describe the grief and shock” to be woken and told your child is dead, Michael Heenan told the court during Tuesday’s sentencing hearing. alcohol level over .08 and causing the death of Heenan back in November. Crown counsel and defence made a joint submission that Smith spend two years in jail, which Judge Brad Chapman agreed to. At odds was the length of Smith’s driving prohibition. Crown asked for five years and defence one; noting Smith needs to be able to drive to work

in his current profession. The judge barred Smith from driving for three years after the completion of his jail sentence. In sentencing Smith, Chapman offered condolences to the Heenan family, but said sentencing is not intended to compensate for the loss of their loved one. “I don’t know what sentence I could impose that could satisfy…the

grief that the Heenans experienced,” he said. “There’s absolutely nothing I can do to ease the loss of losing a son, a brother, a loved one.” Outside court, Michael Heenan said he was glad that Smith was “being held accountable for his actions.” “We’re a little disappointed with the length of the sentence that was imposed,” he said.

However, he said he had “no argument” with the judge’s explanation that the sentence was within the range normally imposed for such crimes. The family is now pushing for changes to the legal system, seeking a mandatory minimum five year jail sentence for impaired driving deaths and for the crime to be reclassified as vehicular manslaughter.

West Kelowna moves forward with Gellatly Road upgrade Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

A project that initially divided an indecisive West Kelowna council was unanimously given the green light Tuesday. The district awarded the construction contract for the third phase of the Gellatly Road upgrade to R & L Excavating Ltd for $2.29 million after receiving six bids.

Upgrade work will begin in the coming days and is expected to be complete by July 1. The project—which will improve the road from Kent Park to just past the CNR Wharf—will include sidewalks, bike lanes, formalized parking and street lighting, as well as pedestrian outlooks placed along the waterfront trail. The total cost to the district is just over $3 million.

This was the second time the district opened an invitation to tender. TT Contractors Ltd. was the low bidder last year; however, the district rejected the bid as council wanted to look at other options that would provide more parking. Beacon Geotechnical Ltd. carried out an investigation from Nov. 9 to 14, 2012 to determine the cost of adding parking spaces. After realizing the significant ex-

pense of excavating into the slope to provide extra stalls, the district opted to return to its original design. Through the delayed process, district staff recently discovered a section of Gellatly Road that could be realigned at a more reasonable cost, adding 19 additional parking spots. “By waiting, it didn’t hurt us at all,” said Coun. Gord Milsom. “There was more competition for the bid, the price is lower than last

year and we got more parking.” Mayor Doug Findlater, who didn’t want to reject the bid last summer, said he’s happy to finally see council moving on with the project. “It’s much appreciated that this is going to be done in time for summer,” said Findlater.

More than 5,500 B.C. residents have signed a petition calling on the provincial government to “take urgent action to halt the commercial introduction of a genetically modified apple.” The petition was submitted in the B.C. Legislature on Wednesday by Saanich South New Democrat MLA Lana Popham. Okanagan Specialty Fruits has licensed technology it claims produces a “non-browning” apple. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is currently considering an application to allow this apple to be produced commercially.

“Today, I again ask the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture to stop avoiding this issue and listen to the thousands of consumers, farmers and stakeholders who are demanding their government actively oppose growing genetically modified apples in B.C.,” said Popham. “The effect of this genetic modification is that it will make it harder to see bruises and discolouration— but those are important visual cues people use before deciding to take a bite,” said Popham. “It is irresponsible for this government to stand idly by while a single commercial interest risks the ex-

cellent reputation of the entire B.C. fruit industry.” The B.C. Fruit Growers Association strongly opposes the Arctic Apple for this very reason. It recently commissioned a consumer survey which found that 69 per cent of Canadians don’t want the GM apple. “We totally reject this botox apple,” added petition drafter Heidi Osterman, with the True Food Foundation in Kelowna. “We see consumer revulsion to this GM apple every time we talk to people about it.”

PST: No guarantee of lower bills

ith the return to a combination of a seven-per-cent provincial sales tax and five-per-cent federal goods and services tax April 1, the harmonized sales tax experiment will come to an end in B.C. Taxpayers shouldn’t count on having more money left over at the end of the month, however, as the changes made by the province in the wake of the initial HST—tax credits for lower-income families and seniors among them—will also come to an end.

There will nonetheless be good news for consumers in certain sectors. Restaurants insist that patrons will see a reduction on their bills after the PST is reinstated, with the net result being a four to fiveper-cent increase in sales. If that materializes, and there’s no guarantee it will, it could create jobs and benefit other related businesses. Other consumers, such as those planning to purchase a brand new home or buying a new bike, may see large savings

in one transaction. The HST was supposed to provide a less complicated tax regime for the sale of goods and services and eliminate exemptions and hidden taxes created under the PST/GST system. There were still loopholes. For example, a person buying a donut at Tim Hortons would pay tax on their purchase, while the same donut at a grocery store would not be taxed, since it was considered a grocery item. We hope the work the province has done on reforming the

PST, since the public voted the HST out with a 55-per-cent majority, makes B.C.’s tax system more streamlined. Regardless, the public can’t expect things to be perfect under a system previously found to be inefficient and unfair, not to mention unwieldy for business. At the very least, we fully expect businesses that complained loudest about the HST to put their money where their mouth is and prove to customers they are saving money under PST/ GST.

New pope unlikely to bring change to the Catholic Church

he significance of white smoke reached new heights this week as the world media was focused on a small copper chimney atop the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. The reason for that was the appearance of white smoke would signify that the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics would have a new spiritual leader. And that was the case yesterday as a relative outsider, according to most Vatican watchers, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, was elected pope. He will go by the moniker Pope Francis I. But despite all that media attention, the reality for many North Amer-

ican Catholics will be a shrug of the shoulders. That is because their church is out of touch with issues facing us today, and has been badly damaged by the fallout from the sex abuse scandals that have plagued Canadian, U.S. and Western European diocese in recent years. While the Vatican administrative bureaucracy has been ironclad in sticking to Catholic religious doctrine on the social issues of our time, the church members it aims to represent, or at least reach out to, are living in a different world.

So how those separated social cultures can come together again might appear to be a major challenge for the new pope, but probably not. It took five balBarry Gerding lots to choose the new pope, he was the oldest among the possible candidates talked about, and his rise from political obscurity might suggest he was a compromise among divided Cardinal ranks. And the question remains how one person, even if they are pope, can encourage change within a church bureaucracy that seems entrenched on

EDITOR’S NOTE

historic Catholic religious protocol. A Canadian Cardinal was in the running apparently, but it’s hard to imagine how any North American candidate could become pope with the rampant paedophilia cases revealed within the priesthood across Canada and the U.S. Besides the sex abuse scandal, other issues facing the church include clerical celibacy and ordaining women priests along with rethinking such political moral issues as abortion, contraception and same-sex marriage. The church walked into a public relations blunder by taking a stand last year against providing contraception to women at Catholic medical care

facilities, an issue which again left many Catholic women feeling abandoned by their church. The concept of churches dipping their pulpits into politics is not just a Catholic church issue but one, particularly in the U.S., that has erased the constitutional divide between all churches and the state in the midst of that country’s current rebellious wave of conservatism. So for the Catholics, without real change, the only thing to watch for is the next big scandal, as the corruptive nature of power is as strong in the Catholic Church as any other bureaucracy. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

PET GROOMING

▼ GUN DEBATE

NRA clouds its real aims by offering advice To the editor: Any person who is known to have a shocking driving record, involving road-rage, constant collisions, and persistent drunk driving, is hardly likely to open a successful driving academy. Likewise, Bob Sherman, coming from a country where annual gun-related deaths usually range between 40,000 and 50,000, can hardly be taken seriously when he comes to our country and proceeds to preach in a patronizing way about safe possession of firearms. (Armed Citizens Use ‘Good Judgement’ Before Firing, March 5 Capital News.) We have our gun laws, as Mr. Sherman well knows. But, between 50 and 60 people die in this country each year, because of gun ownership, legal and illegal. We think this number is too high; and, in fact, it is, since many countries have a better record, but we don’t need to be lectured on the wonders of freedom to choose to have as many guns as we like, including guns of any type; bazookas if the fancy takes us. That is not freedom; it is, in fact, a sort of slavish adherence to a fairly ancient directive from a group of men, in a different era, at a time of revolt.

Bob Sherman’s endless talk of a sacred [U.S.] Second Amendment generally leaves us cold. In fact, since we don’t see many of his fellow citizens joining the militia which are mentioned as part of it, we honestly feel that they could all be misinterpreting the intentions of the USA founding fathers. In fact, there have been several statements from their Supreme Court, indicating that there is a persistent misunderstanding of the intended application of the Second Amendment. I suspect that these “misunderstandings’ have much to do with commerce and profit, sponsored by an organization admired by Mr. Sherman, the NRA, whose main task is to ensure that as many guns as possible are purchased. This lobbying association, like the tobacco lobby before it, is always going to cloud its real aims by offering advice about “safe use of their product,” posing as “the friend of sensible people.” Believe me; they are not our friends, and certainly do not have our welfare at heart. The shooting that took place outside The Grand (hotel in Kelowna) was a shocking event involving crooked individuals fighting their own war to the death. We are all aware of

that, and have no intention of getting involved. We generally do not carry guns, and sense the danger involved in having one constantly in our possession. We know, as do the majority of people throughout the industrialized western world, the simple logic of the discussion: “Why are we carrying a gun?” “To protect ourselves.” “From whom?” “From bad people with guns.” “And do I take it they have guns to protect themselves from our guns?” And so, the vicious cycle goes on with no satisfactory conclusion. We do know, however, that the chances of having ever to defend ourselves on the street or at home, with anything as deadly as a gun, are never great enough to risk arming a whole population. Finally, Oscar Pistorius’s family own 55 guns. If they had not, maybe a certain beautiful girl would still be alive. No, we do not want advice from M. Sherman, or anyone else with his idea of freedom.

All the provinces must be lawfully set free by England with no political superior in order to be lawfully together in the creation of an independent nation with its own head of state, constitution and flag.

Therefore, the Constitution Act 1982 has no lawful power within it for the people or the government, and must be abandoned sooner or later.

This action would dissolve the BNA Act of 1867 and most other antiquated documents. The Statute of Westminster 1931 still lawfully exists at the ready to be fulfilled by the provinces as it has no sunset clause. This action would end Canada’s servitude with England and for the first time allow us to truly create our own destiny as a free nation. It’s now 1982. The Constitution Act 1982 is a fraud forced upon Canadians without proper access, indeed even the flag was never ratified by the people of Canada. There is a set order of events that must take place to qualify a nation’s constitution and flag. A constitution must be created by the people for the people, following prescribed events with all grievances settled, and only then ratified by the people through a public referendum.

To the editor: Re: Andy Thomsen’s letter in the Feb. 12 edition of the Capital News (We Are Not A United Country, MP Albas). In part, Andy is correct but permit me to clarify. The following is part of documented political history today’s governing bodies don’t wish to acknowledge for obvious reasons—I will capsulize. It’s 1864 and the four colonies of Canada— Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick—wish independence from British rule via a (the Quebec Resolution) document presented to British Parliament for consent. The House or Lords, not wishing to give up Canada, rewrote the document, calling it the British North America Act 1867, a statute not a constitution. It merely created on colony out of four, and called it a dominion colony, not a country and still under British rule. Three colonies signed it—Quebec never signed, making Quebec separate from Canada as we know it. Quebec’s threat of separation today is an oxymoron.

Kelowna city council has given the developers behind a plan to expand Kelowna’s Manteo Resort unanimous approval to proceed. Following a public hearing Tuesday night, council gave the plan, which will see the addition of 18 townhouse units this year and construction of a 12-storey, 69-unit ho-

tel and a 10-storey, 77unit apartment-hotel in 10 years time, the green light by approving an application to amend the city’s official community plan as it pertains to building height. Manteo asked for the increase to allow for the two towers in an exchange for a 12-metre strip of land along the lakeshore required by the city to secure public access from Rotary Beach to the

mouth of Mission Creek. While Manteo did not apply for an increase in site density, the additional height will allow the developers to reconfigure the building layouts to keep the project feasible and accommodate the public waterfront amenities sought by the city, they say. Currently, the OCP says building can only be six-storeys high in the area of the Mission.

Manteo is located on Lakeshore Road at Cook Road. “We’ve worked and re-worked this proposal to ensure we’re not only making sound business decisions, but most importantly responsible ones,” said Adrian Block, president and founder of The Rykon Group, developer of Manteo Resort. “We have an amazing piece of real estate and take our stewardship of the land seriously and applaud city council for its collaboration to ensure a win-win for everyone.” On Wednesday, he called the outcome of the public hearing “just good planning,” adding it was the result of the developer and the city working well together. “The city definitely wanted that strip (of land along the lakeshore) and we wanted the architecture that makes the site work,” said Block. The first phase of the redevelopment will take place on the former Lakeshore Inn property, adjacent to the existing resort, and will include the 18 lakefront townhouse residences. The developers say it’s their intent to start marketing the townhouses in late spring. The townhouses would be built this year. City planner Danielle Noble said while the project has been approved through the public process, finalization of the land issues, such as the dedication of the strip of lakeshore land to the city, has yet to take place. But she described them as formalities. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Student seeks insight about mental health is the leading cause of non-accidental death in youth. His goal is to reduce the stigma of mental health, especially in young people, and make it a common, dinner-table type of conversation. Airth, who completed a questionnaire and applied to attend the conference, says young people need to be engaged in open discussions about mental health and it’s up to them to share information and inspire people to increase awareness about the illness. “While at the summit I’m hoping to gain some fresh, innovative ideas on how to help high school and post-secondary students achieve mental health. There’s so much focus on physical health that people seem to push aside the mental,” she says. All travel costs for the summit are funded by the Jack Project, but Airth has been busy fundraising as she needed to raise a minimum of $100 to donate to the organization to help offset costs. “The entire UBC Okanagan nursing faculty has stood behind this endeavour through financial support for me and this has been amazing and so encouraging,” adds Airth. “I’m very excited to meet with other students who are passionate about mental health and I would like to bring fresh, innovative ideas back to the UBC campus.” Unleash the Noise takes places at Toronto’s MaRS Discovery District March 15 and 16. The delegates are from 40 universities, colleges, and high schools from across Canada and all are under the age of 24. Airth is excited to attend and is hoping to learn about ways to engage fellow students in interactive and innovative discussions and raise aware-

There is a certain stigma about mental health. And when it come mental health illness in children and adolescents, it often becomes a ‘behind-closed-doors’ conversation. That’s all about to change, however, if a group of university students have their way. Unleash the Noise is a national event that takes place this weekend in Toronto. While it aims to raise awareness about mental health issues, the ultimate goal of the weekend is to go well beyond that, explains Lauren Airth, a third-year nursing student at UBC’s Okanagan campus. Airth, from West Kelowna, is one of 200 youth delegates selected to take part in this event. The hope is to come away with plans to create programs to inspire change and discussion about mental-health issues in adolescents. “The aim of Unleash the Noise is to decrease stigma around mental health and to develop sustainable and innovative programs for communities from high school to post secondary students,” says Airth. “Unleash the Noise is the first national summit on student mental health innovation. It is entirely student-inspired, student-organized, and student-led.” Airth heard about Unleash the Noise through fellow nursing student Jen Windeler. Windeler’s cousin Jack committed suicide when he was 18. Jack’s father Eric produced a video that explains he had no idea his son had a mental illness—the family had only noticed Jack had become withdrawn and quiet. Windeler says that mental illness often strikes before the age of 24 and

Robert Smith? is an original. A mathematics professor at the University of Ottawa, Smith? wants to be known as Smith?, not by the common surname of Smith. His thought-provoking mathematics work connects fun and serious elements. For example, he created a mathematical model of a zombie apocalypse. It’s a novel and entertaining approach to disease modelling: using fictional zombies to illustrate how real disease can be modeled with mathematics. Smith? says his work on zombies has grabbed a lot of attention and it thrills him to bits to have academic discussions about his mathematical model and flesheating undead. Robert Smith? will give this free public talk at the Rotary Centre for the Arts following talks that day at two local middle schools and UBC’s Okanagan campus.

HUNGERCOUNT SURVEY…Kelowna Community Food Bank staff and volunteers are

busy collecting client information as part of Food Banks Canada’s annual HungerCount survey. HungerCount is a comprehensive report on hunger and food bank use in Canada and makes recommendations for change. Its main purpose is to provide a national and provincial hunger snapshot by counting the number of individuals who visit food banks during the month of March. “It is the only survey of its kind,” said Vonnie Lavers, Kelowna food bank executive director. “It is a worthwhile exercise as we use the data in our program and fund development. Food Banks Canada chose March because it is an unexceptional month without high or low use. Consistency enables their researchers to make usage comparisons over time.” HungerCount 2012 reports food bank usage is 31 per cent higher than 2008 levels. Lavers says the survey records information on several client characteristics including age, gender, student status, citizenship, aboriginal identity, primary source of income, household composition and type. Results from HungerCount 2013 will be available in November.

NEWS ▼ MENTAL HEALTH

Impairment level for toked up drivers needs research A fter many senseless deaths and serious injuries as a result of alcohol impaired driving, Canada has implemented strict laws prohibiting driving under the influence of even a relatively small amount of alcohol. In B.C., it is well publicized that a blood alcohol content of even 0.05 could result in the loss of your license as well as some pretty stiff fines. Hardly anyone protests these laws because they are in place to protect the public from a real danger. Since the penalties have been implemented, alcohol related crashes have dropped significantly. Although not as common, drug impaired driving has also gained attention. In many places, drugged driving laws are being implemented. Although some of these enforce a zero tolerance policy, others are setting legal limits as in the case of alcohol. Marijuana is by far the most widely used illicit drug around the world. It is also associated with vehicle crashes. According to U.S. data, cannabis users have a 10-fold increase in car

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer crash injury after adjusting for blood alcohol concentration. However, until recently, it was unknown how long cannabis remains in the blood stream or causes impairment—making it difficult to set any kind of reasonable limit in driving laws. A recently published study examined 30 male chronic daily cannabis smokers over a month of supervised abstinence to determine how long the active chemical from the drug remained in their blood (THC).

‘‘

DETERMINING AN ACCEPTABLE BLOOD LIMIT FOR THC AND DRIVING IS A MORE COMPLEX TASK THAN WITH ALCOHOL.

Of the 30 participants, 27 were positive when the study began. The chemical decreased gradually over the course of the study—95 per cent and then 85 per cent were still positive on days eight and 22 respectively. After 33 days, one person still had detectable THC in his blood. We know that acutely intoxicated cannabis smokers exhibit significant impairment in cognitive, perceptual and psychomotor tasks including the areas of attention, complex decision-making and reaction time. Some studies have also shown cognitive impairment that can last anywhere from seven to 28 days after use of the drug. This study is the first to actually quantify the persistence of the chemical in the bloodstream and its findings are consistent with studies on the potential for lasting impairment. It was a relatively small study of chronic users and all participants were male—so more research will likely need to be done to see how the results compare in different populations. Determining an acceptable blood limit for

premier prior to the rest of the attendees being allowed in. While registration is required for the special 15-minute session with Clark, there is no need to register for the main

event, says the chamber. Tickets for the event will be available at the door and will cost $10 each for chamber members and $20 each for non-members. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

THC and driving is a more complex task than with alcohol. However, given the

strong association between cannabis use and vehicle accidents, it is important to get a clear pic-

ture of the course and persistence of impairment so the laws can be set accordingly.

Bipolar disorder studied Individuals living with bipolar disorder are invited to participate in an ongoing investigational medication research study. Okanagan Clinical Trials, a pharmaceutical research company located in Kelowna, is currently conducting a study to determine the effectiveness of an investigational medication for bipolar disorder. “Bipolar disorder is a serious mental health condition that can also be very dangerous for those it affects,” said Dr. Paul

Latimer, psychiatrist and principal investigator for Okanagan Clinical Trials. “There is a cycling between mood extremes and it’s very difficult to function in relationships or work situations.” Bipolar disorder is a chronic condition affecting roughly four per cent of the population at some point in life. It is characterized by dramatic mood changes between mania —an excessive high with irritability, bad judgment and recklessness—and the lows of depression. Eligible volunteers for

this study will be bipolar adults between the ages of 18 and 65 who are currently stable but have experienced a mood episode within the past four months. About 400 patients will participate in this phase-two clinical study. Effects of the investigational study medication will be measured initially over 16 weeks with the possibility to extend for another 48 weeks. For more information, call Okanagan Clinical Trials at 862-8141 or visit www.okanaganclinicaltrials.com.

Double B.C. gold for Immaculata Mustangs There’s an unmistakable championship feel in the hallways of Immaculata Regional High School this week. At the conclusion of a season that can only be described as magical, both the Mustangs senior boys and girls teams captured their respective B.C. high school A basketball titles. The Immaculata boys captured their first ever provincial banner Saturday night in Kamloops, while the girls were winning the school’s sixth B.C. title at the same time in Prince George. The underdog Immaculata boys, ranked No. 5 heading into provincials, made the most of their first ever appearance in a B.C. championship game. In Saturday’s gold medal game, Alex Hart scored 31 points as the Mustangs downed St. Pat’s 67-51. Michael Gini hit six three-pointers and finished with 20 points, while James Casorso was named player of the game. Head coach Dino Gini had plenty of praise for his boys’ team and their first ever B.C. crown. “Team play, team first, and preparation was all perfect,” said Gini. “On the defensive side the Mustangs were outstanding, and they were rewarded with a very hard fought and well deserved blue banner.” Immaculata pulled off the upset of the tourney in the semi finals, defeating No. 1 West Pt. Grey 5446. Hart had 29 points and Gini 13, while Chris Macdonnell was solid defensively. “It was a huge win for the team and a huge win for our program,” said Gini, who is assisted by Doug Sperling, “as the semi final game bit us in the butt a couple of times

in previous years, so I’m proud of the boys.” The Mustangs opened the tourney with a 81-52 victory over Glenlyon from Victoria. Hart scored 43 points, while Gini added 13. In Game 2, Immaculata downed a big, physical Unity Christian team 63-56. Hart had 23 points and Casorso added 18. Hart was named the tournament’s MVP, Michael Gini was named to the first all-star team, while James Casorso earned second team honours. A few hours north

cused and athletic and most importantly a group of quality individuals, they are a special group and this special group has brought home a special blue banner.” Along with Olivia Johnson’s MVP performance, younger sibling Emma Johnson was named a first team allstar, while Jaedyn Penkala was named to the second team. Immaculata opened the tourney with a 11125 win over Fraser Lake, with Emma Johnson and Siobhan Fitzpatrick scoring 20 points each. In Game 2, Emma Johnson had 23 points as the Mustangs whipped Fernie 110-45. In the semis, Emma and Olivia Johnson had 23 points each as the Mustangs took care of Pacific 81-53. In addition crediting his players for a solid effort at provincials, coach Brian Grant says Dino Gini’s leadership and commitment to the Immaculata program over the years has been invaluable. “He’s the backbone of the program. He’s been there 15 years,” Grant told the Prince George Free Press. “(Dino’s) the one who won the first five provincial championships with the girls in the last 10 years, so basically because he had to go there, he turns over the reigns of the herd to me and the other coach, coach Kouwenhoven.” For Gini, two provincial titles for Immaculata in the same season is his most satisfying basketball experience yet. “Two teams, one dream,” Gini said. “What a journey…what a season…what an experience.”

Rookie duo logs key minutes for Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

As a pair of 16-yearold rookies, Rourke Chartier and Riley Stadel weren’t exactly sure how they’d fit in with the Kelowna Rockets. As it turns out, the Rockets’ coaching staff has relied on both newcomers to play significant roles for the Western Hockey League club for much of the 2012-13 campaign. Chartier, the teams’ first choice in the 2011 bantam draft, has played in all situations for Kelowna while compiling 12 goals and 29 points in 55 games. Stadel, a third round pick in 2011, has two goals, 11 points and a +11 rating in 46 games, and has earned more and more playing time as the season has progressed. In Chartier’s case, head coach Ryan Huska has seen few players with a more acute understanding of the game than the 5-foot-10, 165-pound Saskatoon native. “What we found out

Riley Stadel about Rourke pretty early on is that he’s a very intelligent player,” said Huska. “We’ve been able to use him in different situations and it didn’t take him long to gain our confidence and trust. In key situations, he shows really strong hockey sense.” Chartier, who didn’t play in any games as a 15-year-old with Kelowna, is more than happy with the way his initial WHL season has unfolded. “I wasn’t sure what to expect, I just thought I’d come in, try and prove myself and get into the lineup as often as possible,” said Chartier. “It’s been a good year, we usually roll four lines, so

that’s good for me. I have no complaints with the ice time I’ve been getting. The team is doing great, too, so that’s a nice bonus.” As for Stadel, the 5-foot-10, 175-pound Surrey product came to camp battling for time with eight other blue liners. But between injuries and the move of Myles Bell to forward, Stadel eventually jumped up to the No. 6 spot. Rockets assistant coach Dan Lambert said Stadel had taken advantage of the opportunity. “Riley is the type of guy who just loves the game and he works hard at it every day,” said Lambert. “He wasn’t playing all the time early on, but

whenever he was called upon he was ready to go. When we lost Mitch (Wheaton) he was forced to play even more minutes, he’s responded very well and he’s been doing a great job for us lately.” As is the case for most young players, making the jump from midget to major junior has been a formidable challenge for Stadel. He points to the speed of the game, and size and strength of the players as considerable adjustments. Thanks to his more experienced Rockets teammates, Stadel said the transition has gone as well as he could have expected. “It’s been great how the older guys have been bringing us younger guys

along,” said Stadel, who turned 17 in January. “They’ve made us feel comfortable from the start and that takes a lot of the pressure off and lets you play your game. Because of that, I feel like I’ve done OK. It’s such a great group, a lot like family.”

Dr. Knox strikes B.C. b’ball gold

The disappointment of one loss and a fifth-place finish at last year’s B.C. Grade 8 championship was more than enough motivation for the Dr. Knox boys’ basketball team. The Falcons were nothing short of dominant this season, capping off the 2012-13 campaign with a gold medal performance at the provincial Grade 9 finals. Dr. Knox, which posted a 38-2 overall record this season, secured the B.C. crown Saturday night in Kitsilano with a 114-94 victory over the host team in the championship game. The Falcons were in control throughout the Grade 9 boys provincial tourney, outscoring their opponents 416-209 in four games. It was the high scoring game and the first B.C. title for an Okanagan team in the 17-year history of the event. “We worked very hard as a team all season, so this is complete and total satisfaction,” said Falcons

Osoyoos eliminates Chiefs from KIJHL playoffs

In a series that could have gone either way at any time, the Osoyoos Coyotes found a way to get the better of the Kelowna Chiefs. Five games were decided by a single goal— including four in overtime—as the Coyotes took down the Chiefs four games to two in the KIJHL Okanagan Division final. Osoyoos wrapped up the series Tuesday night in Game 6 at the Sun Bowl with a 2-1 win in double overtime. Austin Lee scored the game winner at 5:49 of the second extra session. Nick Josephs, who led the Chiefs with eight playoff goals, scored the lone marker for Kelowna. The teams traded victories in the first four games of the series with Kelowna winning twice in overtime—4-3 both times—while the Chiefs won 2-1 and 4-2. Osoyoos grabbed the upper hand in the series with a 5-4 overtime victory in Game 5 on Monday night at Rutland Arena. The Coyotes will go on to face the North Okanagan Knights in the Okanagan/Shuswap Confer-

Following a tactical, feeling out first round, McKinlay had a strong second round, backing the older Seehra up with straight right hands. The Kelowna boxer served notice that he will be a strong contender at the national level. On Saturday evening Seehra faced Spencer Howard of the Kelowna Boxing Club and again had his hands full with the younger local boxer. Although dropping the decision, Howard continually pressed the fight against the more experienced opponent and also landed some strong right hands. A.J. Bopari, 16, of the Kelowna Boxing Club boxed an exhibition match at 60 kg with five time Canadian Champion Kenny Lally of Prince George. Fight fans were treated to a display of fluid footwork, fast hands and quick combination punching. The Bronze Gloves event featured 70 entries from across B.C.

Seven novice boxers from two local clubs in Kelowna made an impression in the ring at the Bronze Gloves Tournament, March 8 and 9 in Vernon. Curtis Anderson (Jr C 45 kg) of the Thistletown Club got the ball rolling with a quick stoppage of Reid Seeley of Salmon Arm at one minute 11 seconds. Anderson displayed effective movement and quick combination punching beyond his experience level. He registered two standing eight counts before the fight was stopped. Clubmate Chayse Schwandt (Jr C 54 kg) was next up. A series of uppercuts from Tyson Volker of Mission forced the stoppage of the fight in the second round. Stocky brawler Cody Graf of Thistletown (Sr Novice 64 kg), in his first bout, was awarded a 3-2

split decision over Ricky Orr of Nanaimo. Thistletown’s Brady Anderson (Youth Novice 64 kg), older brother of Curtis Anderson, used his longer reach to put punches together against Jordan Johnson of Vernon, resulting in a stoppage at 1:45 of the first round. Thistletown clubmate Rees Weninger boxed an exhibition bout in which no winner is declared against Owen Bergen of Mission. Weninger displayed a strong jab which set up several crosses and hooks. Anthony Haines of the Kelowna Boxing Club (Sr Novice 75 kg) lost a close decision to eventual Bronze Boy, Jason Weiss of Salmon Arm. Thistletown southpaw Travis Peterson (Sr Novice 81 kg) scored well with uppercuts but lost a decision in a slugfest to Joseph Sigalet of Vernon. Wrapping up both evenings were bouts involving more experienced open fighters including National Team members.

Averaging 20 points per game, Tamminen characterizes her strength as her shooting, but also believes her leadership on her high school team is an extremely important factor that she hopes to bring over to the Heat. Tamminen is “hoping to be a scorer next year, while maintaining strong individual and team defense.” Tamminen has received multiple accolades during her time in Calgary, including two tournament MVP awards in her high-school teams’ previous two tournaments. Heat coach Heather Semeniuk, could not say more about her new recruit. “We are very

She comes to the Heat as a player that knows what it takes to win, and I see Shenelle developing into a solid CIS player over the next year or two.” Meanwhile Reichert is a product of the Junior Heat program. Not only a high-school starin

Princeton, she has played on regional and provincial teams that include the Kelowna regional team, as well as the B.C. Provincial B team. Last summer, Julia was a standout on the Junior Heat, grabbing the attention of Heat coach Heather Semeniuk. Reichert characterizes herself as a strong defensive player who “hopes to bring a strong, positive, and progressive addition” to the Heat, which will be especially important with the departure of fifth-year

post Roslyn Huber. However, Julia is no stranger to scoring either. The Princeton Secondary School graduate has had multiple 30-point games in her high-school career. “She brings a huge component to the team at 6-2,” said Semeniuk. “Coming from a single A program, there will undoubtedly be adjustments for her to make, but she loves to compete and does not like losing. I’m expecting Julia to have an impact early.”

NEWS ▼ OKANAGAN WINES

Winemakers provide significant boost to Canada’s economy

ake a few grapes, crush them, bottle the elixir and voila…you have a recipe for some great economic success. The British Columbia Wine Institute, which is chaired by the passionate Josie Tyabji and assisted by hardworking executive director Miles Prodan, recently sent me the results of the largest research study ever conducted on the Canadian wine and grape industry. Commissioned by the Canadian Vintners Association, the Winery & Grower Alliance of Ontario, the British Columbia Wine Institute and the Winery Association of Nova Scotia, the report, entitled Canada’s Wine Economy—Ripe Robust Remarkable, confirms the wine industry has become a large and significant contributor to the overall Canadian economy, especially in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Nova Scotia. According to the study’s findings, the Canadian wine industry gen-

MP’S REPORT

Ron Cannan erates an impressive $6.8 billion in economic activity, making it a significant driver of the Canadian economy. The study finds that for every bottle of wine produced in Canada, about $31 of domestic economic impact is generated, creating more than 31,000 Canadian jobs and generating $1.2 billion in federal and provincial tax revenue and liquor board markup. In taxes alone, the industry contributes $879 million annually. Not only do Canadians enjoy more than one billion glasses or 220 million bottles of wine produced by the Canadian wine industry each year, but Canada welcomes more than three

million visitors every year through the wine economy, more than four times the number of visitors to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, generating $1.2 billion in tourism and tourism employment related economic impact. With over 1,600 vineyards on more than 26,000 acres of land dedicated to viticulture, Canada’s wine consumption is growing faster than spirits and beer. And even though Canadian wine industry sales represent only 30 per cent of all wine sold across Canada, there is a significant opportunity for growth. Here in British Columbia, the B.C. wine industry alone generates $2 billion in economic impact employing more than 10,000 people and contributing $222 million in taxes. Some 212 B.C. wineries welcome over 800,000 visitors every year through the wine economy, and generate $476 million in tourism and

tourism employment related economic impact. As for our wine consumption, British Columbians enjoy more than 234 million glasses or 47 million bottles of Canadian wine each year. It’s hard to believe just how far we’ve come. I can remember the late 1980s when old grape vines were being pulled out because of NAFTA. Yet, there were the believers. Undaunted, a few saw the potential and replanted with new varieties, confident they could produce wines that would compete with the rest of the world. Today, because of the spirit and determination of those entrepreneurs, the Okanagan is synonymous with exceptional winemaking. Some of the best and brightest winemakers in the world call the Okanagan home, producing the kind of product that is sought after internationally, shipping record volumes of wine around the world, and overseeing vineyards that are on

the cutting edge of innovation. The industry has also successfully leveraged federal government support, making advances in research and innovation and exploiting greater trade and market access opportunities. Through the Developing Innovative Agri-Products program, B.C. grape producers are improving pest and disease measures and enhancing grape quality. Under the AgriMarketing program, Canada’s grape and wine producers are implementing a longterm international marketing strategy and tapping into international markets for their top quality products. As well, the federal government fully supported legislation which removed import barriers

for Canadian wineries who want to sell directly to Canadian consumers. While progress has been slow, in time, I trust provinces like Ontario will follow the lead of B.C. and Manitoba and allow more Canadians the opportunity to get to know and enjoy some of the great award winning vintages produced by some of our smallest and best vintners. There is no doubt that progress on this front will support a greater demand for home-grown products, boosting the growth of wine and culinary tourism in wine producing areas, and providing an even wider range of benefits, including the creation of more full- and part-time jobs, and the generation of secondary economic activity. The fact is Canadian

winemakers, especially here in the Okanagan, are getting it right. We owe our innovative vintners a big thanks and our highest respect, for not only contributing significantly to our national, regional and local economies, but also for making Canada and the Okanagan one of the premier wine and culinary tourism destinations for people around the world. Congratulations to all our local wineries for the great value you add to our community and country! For anyone interested in reading the full report, please go to www.canadianvintners.com .

Art is on the menu for kids programs Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Art Gallery is looking for Okanagan residents with an appetite for improving opportunities for children and youth, as well as good food and an incredible night out. Previously held in the fall, Appetite for Art, the gallery’s biggest fundraising event of the year, is designed to help raise money for children, youth and educational programming so that anyone and everyone can get a chance to experience what it’s like to be creative. Kendra Dixon has taught one of the programs at the gallery and says you can see how each hour the kids spend is put to good use. “Kids are so creative; even more so than adults,” she said. “With the kids you have to hold them back, they just dive right in, where often the adults can get kind of paralyzed. It’s like they can’t move on to what’s next when they’re stuck.”

Dixon can provide a personal example of why it’s important to foster artistry, whether or not a young person shows an interest and aptitude. A committed crafter well into her 20s, Dixon was the girl you would find decoupaging journals until, one day, she fell into a watercolour class and it changed her life. Having discovered an absolute passion for snowboarding that would dictate where she lived for a solid decade, her life had, basically, been about following the snow. She entered craft fairs each Christmas, selling out of the little postcard paintings she did, though it never dawned on her that art might prove a vocation. After that water colour class, though, the obsession took hold. “I knew my painting passion had surpassed snowboarding the day I stayed home to cut mats for my paintings rather than going out on the hill,” she said. Long story short, she’s now an artist and graph-

CONTRIBUTED

KENDRA DIXON taught watercolour painting at the Kelowna Art Gallery. She is

known for her snow images but donated a painting (below) of Rhapsody, the dauphin sculpture in front of Prospera Place, to the gallery’s Appetite for Art auction. ic designer, having only discovered painting when she was 26 years old. Working out of a studio on Bernard Avenue, she says her paintings wouldn’t entirely earn her a living, but she’s made a very good run at it all the same, selling 19 paintings in her very first solo show. Her work is in galleries from Sun Peaks to Fernie, Jasper, Whistler, Tobermory, Nelson and Invermere. And it was hanging in the Kelowna Art Gallery last winter as she donated 200 fourby-six-inch paintings to a collective effort to break the world record for the

number of small works displays in a gallery. A crew taking the Youth InSights program saw those pieces and asked if she could teach, and so, Dixon became the watercolour teacher for a six-week session. Youth InSights is a seven-month after-school art program designed to engage teens. The instructors teach sessions for several weeks at a time. The students have to apply to be in the program and have to apply themselves once they’re in it— and Dixon was thrilled with what they accomplished.

The gallery offers programs from kids summer camps to spring break programming, after school sessions to Family Sundays, and school tours that allow 8,000 kids to visit the gallery annually. As the funds from Appetite for Art are specially earmarked for these endeavours wining and dining for an evening will go toward helping kids, like the ones Dixon taught, to see a whole new world of possibilities.

Much to mull over on Bowie’s long-awaited album DAVID BOWIE: THE NEXT DAY (ISO/COLUMBIA)

Wild Belle are the sibling duo of Natalie and Elliot Bergman from Chicago who offer up their debut album Isles. They are much admired for their warm and easy flowing indie pop that sometimes includes rootsy and folky rhythms from the Caribbean and hence their first fulllength CD title. The two lead off songs: Keep You It’s and Too Late, feature ’70s styled reggae ‘riddims’ where the latter title interprets sounds from the overlooked roots reggae

“We need volunteers!” How many times have you heard this plea? And you know what happens—people ignore the message. Unusual wording that appeals to what people want to do instead of what we need them to do, makes all the difference. Here are some fresh ideas. “Are you a social butterfly?” Use this for meet and greet positions. “Do you like to shoot the breeze?” This appeal might work for visiting, companion and peer support roles. “Are you a Jack and Jill of all trades?” That sounds better than ‘handyman’. “Do you have a truck and want to get stuff done?” Your organization could use these resources to help people move or to take junk to the dump? Creative recruiting of volunteers is one of eight topics covered in our fourday Overview of Volunteer Management course. What else will you PRO

learn? Day one covers volunteer and donation trends in the morning and interpersonal communication styles in the afternoon. Day two will involve you in budgeting, record keeping, drafting position descriptions and considering the impact of social networking. By day three, you move on to screening, managing risk and training volunteers using all types of adult learning styles. The final day allows you to focus on supervising, dismissing difficult volunteers, recognizing successful volunteer contributions and evaluating your program in a variety of ways. Our next Overview of Volunteer Management course runs April 8, 9, 15 and 16. The cost is $199 for four daysProvince of learnVancouver

ing. Graduates receive ongoing monthly support to keep you up-to-date with new information in the field. You will receive a manual of PowerPoint presentations, support materials, sample forms, and online resources. Each session is facilitated by an experienced volunteer manager and peppered with individual activities, pair sharing and larger group discussions.

ENTERTAINMENT

Hilty makes tenuous attempt to break free of TV project, Smash Mitchell from B2 luminary Jackie Mittoo. There have been a myriad of acts that have explored this early blend of home grown retro reggae but Wild Belle also throw in healthy doses of first generation tech with casio, electric kalimba, Chamberlain, clavinet, moog and some uncomplicated sax. There is a certain charm to the duo’s low-fi indie folk pop and singer Natalie has a simple Betty Boop-like appeal. The low tech groove makes for some beguiling tracks but near the end of the disc, Wild Belle seem to run out of new ideas. Most of the lyrics are on relationships while the tempos rarely alter, making things come out a tad monochromatic. One deep album cut Another Girl, toys with some ’60s girl group backing vocals but Isles remains a pleasant and light affair with the promise of better things. C+

MEGAN HILTY: IT HAPPENS

3ALL THE TIME (COLUMBIA) Megan Hilty is better known for her exploits on stage and the small screen with Broadway produc-

tions 9 to 5 and Wicked plus the TV series Smash. She is now hoping to branch out with her debut album It Happens All The Time which may not be an accurate title for this so-so first effort. Hilty is not a songwriter but proves to be a serviceable singer on these tunes of lesser known songs, although some were written by big stars Carrie Underwood, Ne-Yo, Taylor Swift, Damien Rice and Russ Ballard (of Alanis Morissette fame). This album of all ballads features spare backdrops for this disc of adult contemporary songs. The feature tracks include the sensuous opener No Cure, the R&B-styled Be A Man and the melancholy pop of No Cure that are all pleasant enough but hardly very stirring. Hilty does tackle a couple of better known songs with a mellow version of the Don Henley hit The Heart Of The Matter and the Aimee Mann song Wise Up that was used prominently in the films Jerry Maguire and Magnolia. Although Hilty is best known right now for her turn in Smash, there are no Marilyn Monroe ref-

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

erences here while Hilty is trying to breakout as a

singer away from her current projects.

Mellow with an uncertain crossover and

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen and no lack of tricks up his sleeve. He is whisked away in a Kansas tornado (they get them a lot in Kansas apparently) and ultimately, he lands in

OZ. Life is pretty good until he meets up with three witches: Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams). Glinda is the only real good witch and Oz is in pretty deep trouble as bad witches want to destroy the Emerald City and only the great and powerful OZ can save the citizens. Well, our hero isn’t exactly up to the task and needs a whole lot of help and so the adventure begins. Music in this film is created by Danny Elfman, Jenna’s brother and the show is produced by Joe Roth, and director, Sam Raimi who brought the most wonderful spe-

production. It’s on its way to making the investment a good one, as the first weekend’s take was a cool $24.1 million This really has action, comedy, escapades galore and a few scary scenes. It is truly well worth seeing—the scenery, costumes and characters are really quite terrific. One of the many quotes I liked: “We can help with the infrastructure, I noticed some yellow brick potholes back there” and of course there’s: “When you believe, anything is possible” (now ain’t that the truth!). Notice the name of the circus in the opening scenes—Braum Bros. Circus—giving a nod to L. Frank Braum, the original author of the OZ series. You won’t see Dorothy, the Tin Man and the rest of the Warner Bros. movie characters as Warner owns the rights to the iconic elements of the 1939 MGM film. Disney was unable to use them or any character likenesses. But that doesn’t stop this film from being a great couple of hours. You can even get OZstyle 3D glasses. I give this five reels for pure movie fun.

NEWS

How we can become unfamiliar even to ourselves I t’s really easy to get stuck in negative thinking and feeling patterns. This is especially true if we have suffered from some kind of trauma that is affecting the emotional centres of our brain. When this area of the brain is impaired and not functioning properly, it can make us think and feel in ways that may be shocking to us. Even people who once considered themselves positive and easy-going can morph into someone that they no longer recognize as themselves. We wonder, “What happened to the old me?” We may even find that our thoughts become fixated on past hurtful events, or that negative emotions like shame, resentment, anger, and sadness take over. Like a gerbil on a spinning wheel, the same thoughts and feelings repeat themselves, over and over again, without resolution.

EMOTIONAL RESCUE

Annie Hopper With this in mind, it’s easy to understand how isolating behaviours can become commonplace. Not only is this way of thinking and feeling disparaging for the person who is suffering –, the actual repetition of these thoughts and feelings strengthens the neural impairment, further changing the physical structure and function of the brain. Unknowingly, when the same thoughts and feelings are entertained, the person is digging a deeper hole that they find harder and harder to get out of. Every time they engage in distorted thoughts and feelings, they are actually reinforcing specific neur-

▼ VALLEY FIRST

Credit union eager to ‘feed the valley’ Valley First Credit Union employees, members and supporters reached deep into their pockets and pantries during 2012, helping to push Feed the Valley fundraising totals close to half a million dollars. Over the past 12 months, $150,000 and 32,000 pounds of food were collected for Feed the Valley. As the Valley First initiative approaches its third anniversary on March 16, totals since inception in 2010 stand close to $465,000 in cash donations and more than 39,000 pounds of food donations. This sets Valley First well on the way to achieving its goal of raising $1 million by 2020. “Over the last three years, our Feed the Valley numbers have been simply incredible,” says Valley First president Paulette Rennie. “The way our employees, members and communities have embraced this terrific hunger-fighting initiative has blown us all away. With the growing support of our regional partners, we are really helping to make a difference in our communities. “While the results

from the first three years are beyond our expectations, we realize we still have a long way to go to achieve our ultimate goal of eliminating hunger in our communities.” Feed the Valley is a community investment program created by Valley First. The program aims to raise food, funds and awareness for food banks throughout the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions. The success of Feed the Valley has not gone unnoticed by community and food bank partners. Earlier this year, Valley First joined with Food Banks B.C. to create an online donation portal which allows people to donate directly to a number of local food banks in Valley First’s service area. “Over the last decade, food bank use in B.C. has increased significantly,” says Food Banks B.C. executive director Laura Lansink. “The work Valley First is doing through Feed the Valley is simply tremendous. By committing to and achieving such lofty goals, they are certainly making a real difference in the communities that need it most.

al pathways in the brain, - making the connections stronger so that they fire more easily and rapidly. The brain can actually get stuck in a rut. Understanding why it may be difficult to get out of this pattern makes sense when we understand that specific thoughts and feelings create a very unique chemical formula in the body. When they are repeated often enough, the brain and body perceive this chemical state as “normal” and it becomes our

unconscious habit zone. The brain and body adapts to this state by creating more receptor sites on the cell walls that are designed to receive that unique chemical cocktail. We literally become addicted to a state of thinking and feeling. This inevitably causes us to behave in ways that are equal to our thoughts and feelings. Try as we may to think and feel differently, time and time again we find ourselves back in the rut. Just like any other

addiction, this chemical cocktail will try to convince us to feed it. Any opposing thought, feeling or behaviour that does not match the unique chemical formula associated with the neural trauma pattern will feel uncomfortable. Because the brain registers this unnatural feeling as a threat to the status quo, we will unconsciously seek evidence to support staying in a rut or find ways to justify our old thinking and feeling habits that feed the im-

pairment. Willpower or intellectual understanding alone is not enough to support the changes that are necessary. The process of rewiring neural circuits within the deep emotional centres of the brain demands that we become curious observers of the often- unconscious patterns that we habitually run and actively interrupt these patterns. We also need to be able to recognize and over-ride the chemical cocktail that is currently operat-

ing that feeds the neural impairment. Initially this can feel akin to defying gravity as we consciously choose to override the habitual pathways involved. Although this takes discipline and effort, the good news is that this can be done with guidance and instruction. Recovery is not only possible, but within your own hands.

NEWS To the editor: This paragraph is about the spring break in March. I hear there is a debate between the school board each year to determine how many week students have for the break. A week or two is what they fight over, the last years have been two weeks and this year we have two weeks. But a few years ago, it was one week. I as a student prefer two weeks. As it costs less, it saes more than $100,000 in 2012 and even more money in 2011 for School District 23. It’s time to organize, be more prepared and if you have a better idea, to write it down on a piece of paper. Statistics show that parents like two weeks better, more time to stay home and spend time with your children. It is also more time for students to put their heads together and study. Especially more time to complete a project and more time for teachers to catch up and correct pro-

jects. More time to prepare to be better at school, there are many things you can do in two weeks. If a family went on a vacation and left for two weeks but the spring break was only for a week, they would miss school. We do not want that. I support two weeks and I want you to as well. My friends also favour two weeks and we want that two-week break to be concrete in School District 23. It is best for the students, teachers and the school district. Hailey F. ••• To the editor: A while ago, my class had a discussion on the issue of whether one week or two weeks of vacation was best for children. My opinion is that children need a vacation of two weeks because we need the rest. We go to school for 10 months, then we have a longer holiday just twice during the school year. I’ll share my list of why we should

KLO students speak up for two week spring break Grade 7 students at KLO Middle School submitted letters to the Capital News this week defending the need to have two weeks rather than one week off at spring break. Here is a sampling of what the students had to say in defending that argument. have two weeks. Students can remember only a certain amount of information and if you have too much, you will start to forget. We need the two weeks of vacation for our brains to rest and think of things other than school. It also allows our bodies to rest. For people who think two weeks will turn you into a “couch potato,” it is not true. Two weeks leaves you time to rest for a week, and do skiing and other active things during the next week. Having two weeks of vacation gives us also the opportunity to have more time with our families. You can travel to

places even further to see friends and family, and you can stay for longer. Teachers also need time off without their students and they are paid during their vacation anyway. So it’s money with less work. Lydia Jane ••• To the editor: Normally, every year in March there is a vacation called spring break. This break is for the kids and students in elementary school and university students. For example, I am a Grade 7 student in School Distict 23. Every year, there is a fight to see if the school board wants to change spring break from two

weeks to one week. Personally, I think it’s better to have two weeks of vacation. My reason is that I think it’s better for the children to have more time with their family and friends. All people need to have a break once in awhile, to catch up on their sleep and be full of energy for the week they return to school. It’s also good for parents because they don’t have to wake up early to drive us to school and it is a benefit they will save on gas for their cars. Teachers and parents may not think two weeks off is a good idea, but it’s important for us to have

a lot of rest between our busy lives. I think it is better to have two weeks off not because I don’t want to go to school, but because everyone doesn’t have much time between sports and other activities. If you have late assignments, spring break will allow you more time to complete them. We have been trapped in our homes for the whole winter so we should go tousled and hang out in the beautiful sun. Having two weeks off gives us the time to be us and to come back to reality. Leah ••• To the editor: As a Grade 7 student, we have a debate every year to decide if spring break should be one or two weeks. If we get two weeks off, we have time to visit family who don’t live close by or to go on a longer family vacation. If we have just one week off, we don’t have very much time to go to

different places. I prefer two weeks off, and this is why. There are more things you can do over two weeks, like visiting with friends and being more active because at school you sit for the whole day. One of the advantages of two weeks off is that teachers have a paid holiday as they have lives to. It also gives them time away from the children to relax. Another advantage is when kids return to school after two weeks off, they are rested and more willing to learn. I think it is also important for parents to have time off to spend with their kids. If we do not finish homework during the year, it gives us a chance to finish and hand it in when we return to school. I think the school district makes a good decision by voting for two weeks at spring break because it benefits everyone. Tiernan

Aquatic centre suffers biggest deficit in 5 years Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

For the fourth straight year, Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre’s numbers are in the red. But that decline, which includes a 2012 deficit of $38,056, doesn’t tell the whole story, according to Bob Stedham. Stedham, a consultant with Active Living Enterprises: The company responsible for the operation of the facility, reminded West Kelowna council of the company’s history running the centre since 1997. “In 1997, Active Living Enterprises took over the operation of the aquatic centre. We saved the regional district in excess of $250,000 in the first year of operation,” said Stedham. “We created surpluses for 10 of the next 12 years… we probably saved the taxpayer in excess of $1 million over that period of time.” He said JBMAC is currently feeling the effect of tough economic times. “There’s only so much discretionary dollars out there that the public has to spend. And we know that we’ve had some significant impacts over the years because of that.” See Suffers B8

Traffic calming measures planned for Shannon Lake Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The District of West Kelowna will implement several traffic calming measures throughout the Shannon Lake neighbourhood to make the area safer for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Council approved the traffic calming measures after hearing about key areas of concern during Tuesday’s council meeting. Representatives from Boulevard Transportation Group unveiled the Shannon Lake Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Plan at the council meeting. After public consultations and information sessions with representatives from Shannon Lake Neighbourhood Associ-

ation, BTG recommended traffic calming measures—including speed cushions, curb extensions and signage—in six locations. Council unanimously agreed to go ahead with the work, which will cost the district $64,700. The first change will occur at the intersection of Shannon Ridge Drive and Shannon Place. The public complained sight lines were poor at the intersection; therefore, the district will install two curb extensions and relocate the stop sign. Speed cushions will be installed on Shannon Ridge Drive and Auburn Road to slow down drivers and discourage shortcutting. The speed cushions

will be installed on Shannon Way, east of Sundance, to give drivers an appropriate amount of stopping distance. The pedestrian cross-

ing will be relocated at the intersection of Shannon Lake Road and Shannon Way. Perhaps most significantly, a speed read-

er board will be installed along Shannon Lake Road—the roadway where Stew Tuningley tragically died in 2011 after a truck crashed into him while he was voluntarily cleaning up the roadside in an event sponsored by the Westbank Lioness Club. In 2011, the district approved its Traffic Calming Policy; Shannon Lake is the first neighbourhood that the new policy will affect. “This is a good start,” said Coun. Rick de Jong. “I do see this as a beginning, and I certainly hope that we’re going to be tracking this moving forward to see how effective it is at addressing the identified issues.” Coun. Bryden Winsby also voted in favour of the

changes, but questioned whether or not they will have an impact on driver behaviour. “I think we could probably look upon this as an experiment of sorts and really keep a close eye on how well it works before we get carried away in other areas of the community,” said Winsby. “We’re going to perhaps find out what works best and what really is a waste of time and money.” The $64,700 worth of changes will be funded from the district’s reserves and future expenditures. Council also directed staff to follow-up with a report on the effectiveness of the traffic calming 90 days after the measures have been implemented.

WESTSIDE

Aquatic centre in the deep end of a deficit Suffers from B7 The current operational agreement between the district and ALE was renewed Jan. 1, 2012, and runs until 2016. The agreement outlines that if there is a revenue surplus at the end of any given year, it shall be retained by the district—ALE may apply to share in 50 per cent of the surplus through a process where a council decision is final. If aquatic centre endures a deficit, the money lost is the responsibility of the district. Stedham said the addition of various Westside workout facilities and other recreational venues have also made it tough for the centre to keep its customer base. He said more users would likely come if improvements and features were added to the facility. Several council members thanked Stedham for his hard work and acknowledged the money ALE saved the regional district in the early years. District staff have suggested council reallocate some of the CPI increase for 2013 to the advertising budget to increase marketing efforts this year and move capital requests for equipment from the 2015 capital budget to the 2013 budget so the facility can purchase three new pieces of exercise equipment. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Dealing with cigar selling beach hucksters

t irritates me when those holidaying in southern destinations giggle openly about leaving the cold behind, and those unable to escape it. Please believe me that I am not giggling at your expense as I write this while on a Mexican holiday that is becoming a spring break tradition for my family. Instead, I will give you the opportunity to giggle a bit at my expense. I’ve written before about how my negotiation skills are worthless in a market where I have no idea where the goal posts are. A beach vendor telling me with a straight face that a five pack of Cuban cigars is worth $100 is as believable to me as ICBC

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott adjusters telling injury victims with a straight face their standard bunk that compensation for a soft tissue injury is a maximum of $6,500. I’m not a smoker, but I’ve got a buddy who likes cigars. He and his family are staying in the same resort where we are staying. Wander out to the beach and you are accosted by vendors with all sorts of goodies for sale. My buddy was offered jewelry and, when that didn’t seem to catch his attention, he was offered cigars. Out came a wooden cigar box containing five Cuban cigars, though of course who knows if

they were really Cuban! Each one, he was told, would sell for $20 in a cigar shop, making the box of five worth $100. For my buddy, though, the vendor would give a special deal, selling the box for $80. After some dickering, my buddy got the box for what he thought was a fair value: $40. Later that same day I was approached by the same vendor. Expecting to be turned down, I offered $30 for exactly the same box, and my offer was accepted. Today, my family and I went into the local town, Cabo San Lucas. I found two separate shops with the exact same box of five cigars. So for my own curiosity, I expressed interest. The one told me that the regular price is $45, but he’d sell to me for $35. The other started at

$40 and went quickly to $30. Each of them worked themselves down to $20 as I walked away, with me making zero offers. I wonder how low an offer they would have accepted. I wonder what a fair offer would have been. With a Mexican vendor, you can use the “walk away bluff” to try to get to their best price. My buddy and I should have tried that with the beach vendor. Bluff or no bluff, walking away from an ICBC negotiation will never lead an unrepresented injury victim to fair compensation. The adjusters appointed to negotiate with unrepresented claimants have a fixed amount of money to work with. When they say the maximum they pay for soft tissue injuries is $6,500, they are telling

the truth. What they don’t tell you, and to me it is an offensive omission, is that a different level of adjuster is appointed once a lawyer is involved, and that fair compensation for soft tissue injuries can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’ll still be in Mexico when I write my next column. I will share my experience of being “taken” when renting a car, and the harrowing experience of driving where there is no apparent enforcement of driving rules. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

For program registration and other information on recreation services, call 250-767-2133.

WEST KELOWNA Warriors defenceman Dustin Cave (centre, front row) has been a supporter of the West Kelowna Boys & Girls Club during the BCHL regular season. With the help of sponsors Ultimate Hockey & Skate, Shutout Sports Collectibles, & Francis Electrical, for each point Cave has recorded this season, it translated into $100 donation to the club, which for this year will total $1,000. Cave has also served as a club volunteer, helping with the drop-in floor hockey program, and was behind Caver’z Kidz program where kids could attend a game, be treated with popcorn and receive a T-shirt.

JENNS, DAVID BRYAN

LARRY JAMES CHEVALLIER

David Bryan Jenns born on January 25, 1949 passed away peacefully at the Kelowna General Hospital on March 10, 2013. He is survived by his loving wife Shirley of 42 years, son Jeff and granddaughter Azalea. Also survived by cousins Bev, Allan and Kerry in Winnipeg. Sadly predeceased by his parents Stanley (1990) & Verne (2000). He worked for many years in the Wholesale Dept. at Pacific Press. He was also very active in the Scouting program in Port Coquitlam and was awarded the Medal of Merit in 1987. No service by his request. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and searching his name under stories. Arrangements entrusted with First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna. Phone 250-762-2299

On March 8th, 2013 our lives were changed forever when Larry James Chevallier peacefully left us for a quieter place. His hand was held until the end by his beautiful wife of 39 years, Diana. Larry was born in Eckville, Alberta on March 11, 1950 and was raised in Rocky Mountain House until he came to Peachland, BC in 1967 where he spent most of his active and colorful life. He was active in the Canadian Cutting Horse Association during the 1980’s and early 1990’s as a director, judge, competitor and champion at many events. Larry was also a former director, sponsor and long time supporter of High School Rodeo in BC. Larry loved his animals. His dogs were a huge part of his life as well. He usually had two or three dogs with him wherever he went. He had a great connection with them all. Larry was predeceased by his dad, Joe Chevallier in 2002 and by his nephew Mark Chevallier in 2012. He is lovingly survived by his wife and best friend Diana Chevallier of Peachland, BC, his mom Vivian Chevallier of Westbank, BC, his son Shawn Chevallier (Jerri-Lynn) of Beaumont, AB, his daughter in-law Sandy Chevallier (Carl Woods) of Peachland, BC, his granddaughters, Candace, Fallon, Raven, Hunter and Bailey, his brother Don Chevallier (Kim) of Rocky Mountain House, AB, his sister in-law Connie Volk (Les) of Bowden, AB, his nephew Grant Chevallier (Elyse) of Rocky Mountain House, AB, his niece Amanda MacKenzie (Travis) of Spruce View, AB, his great nephews Charlie, Alex, Matthew, Cole and Tyrell and his great niece Sierra. The Chevallier family will be hosting an Open House at the Peachland Riding Club, 5380 Princeton Avenue, Peachland on Saturday March 16th, 2013 at 1pm to remember the good times we have been lucky to share. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the Peachland High School Rodeo Scholarship Fund would be welcome.

In Memoriam

IN MEMORIUM - FRITZ

In loving memory of my husband Frank and our dear father, grandfather & great-grandfather who passed away March 14, 1988.

Your resting place we visit. We put flowers there with care. But no one knows the heartache. When we turn and leave you there. If teardrops were a stairway. And memories were a lane. We would walk right up to heaven. And bring you home again. Frank/Dad you're always in our hearts & thoughts.

Sadly missed by Delores, Children, Grandchildren & Great Grandchildren.

NOTICE OF INTENT T13-033 Boiler Replacement – H2O Centre Notice is hereby given by the City of Kelowna of its intent to contract with Veissmann Manufacturing Company Inc of Langley BC to supply two (2) Veissman boilers. The contract value is $175,400 and is expected to be complete in 2013. The City has chosen not to call for supplier proposals for the following reasons: 1. Rocky Point was commissioned to provide mechanical engineering services for the replacement of the boiler plant at the H2O Centre because of significant issues related to heat exchanger failures. The boiler plant is currently operating on 2 of 3 boilers and construction documents are required in a timely manner should another boiler fail. 2. Based on information derived from the investigation, several factors were taken into consideration which ultimately identified five boilers for consideration during the design development process. 3. The City performed, along with Rocky Point Engineering, a detailed review of available boilers. The boilers were reviewed for capital cost, durability, longevity, quality, serviceability and service response time. Suppliers wishing to object to this decision should contact the person identified below either by fax or email on or before March 25, 2013 presenting specific reasons for their objection. If justified a suppliers meeting with City representatives will be called to receive supplier presentations regarding this contract. Supplier ability to offer product and/or services resulting in the same or better solutions at a lower cost during the same time frame will the key criterion with regard to the supplier objections. Submissions are to be sent to: Tracy Lundberg, City of Kelowna Purchasing Department, 1435 Water Street, Kelowna BC V1Y 1J4, Telephone 250-469-8530 or Fax 250-862-3392 or email purchasing@kelowna.ca
