Local wines winning on the world stage STAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan Valley produces some of the world’s best chardonnay wines. That was proven this week as again, local wineries brought home some of the top medals from the prestigious Chardonnay-du-Monde international wine competition in France. Both Sandhill Wines

of Kelowna and Quails’ Gate Estate Winery of West Kelowna won gold medals in competition with wines from 42 countries which submitted a total of 872 wine samples that were judged by 300 international experts. In all, 58 gold medals were awarded this year and 183 silver medals, with most of the top medals going to French wines. About a dozen medals came to Canada, three

of those to Kelowna’s Sandhill and Calona Vineyards for the 2011 Sandhill Small Lots Single Lot Chardonnay, which won gold, the 2011 Sandhill White Label Chardonnay which won silver along with the 2011 Calona Vineyards Artist Series Unoaked Chardonnay. Two more went to Quails’ Gate, with a gold medal for its 2010 Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay and a silver for its

It’s not the first time either winery has won a medal at this particular competition, but Sandhill winemaker Howard Soon points out that 2011 was the second coolest grape-growing season in 16 years, which meant it was generally a difficult year in the vineyard. However, he says this proves that the best vineyards can still ripen

Premier Christy Clark says she’s going to “defy the odds” and lead her Liberal party to victory in the upcoming provincial election, despite the Liberals low standing in the polls and what she says is the media’s belief she can’t do it. “I’m a fighter,” declared Clark during a stop at a Kelowna electronics manufacturing firm Wednesday. “I know I’m going in as the underdog. I’m OK with that. I’m going to defy the odds.” Clark’s confident proclamation came amid news that her party is trailing the Opposition NDP badly in public opinion polls, in the wake of a damning report about government employees using provincial money to do partisan election work for the Liberals in order to win ethics votes in the upcoming election. Clark has apologized and her party has paid back $70,000 of taxpayer money that was spent. The embattled premier has had to address several controversies in the last few months and now has just eight weeks to turn it around before the election. She came to Kelowna—historically friendly territory for politicians on the right of the political spectrum—Wednesday to announce the benefits of a new small business accord aimed at maintaining B.C. as what she called the most small-business friendly province in Canada. The accord recognizes small business as a key driver of job creation and economic growth and contains six “action” items for the provincial government: • Consider the needs of small business in policy and program decisions to enhance business certainty, access to qualified labour access to capital and technology adoption. • Foster a regulatory environment that small business can access, navigate and influence effectively and efficiently. • Design government program and resources affecting small business so they are well-developed, accessible, properly funded and effectively communicated. • Forster thoughtful collaboration among all levels

NEWS ▼ WORLD WATER DAY

Water board wants us to ‘Love our water body’ “Love your water body!” is the theme this year for Canada Water Week, March 18 to 24. As such, the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its outreach program, Okanagan WaterWise, have organized some fun events that encourage people—young and old— to share their stories about water in the Okanagan. “Canada Water Week, and United Nations World Water Day on March 22, is an opportunity to celebrate water and reflect on its importance to our communities, to our economy, to the environment, and to life itself,” said Anna Warwick Sears, executive director for the OBWB. The first event kicks off with the launch of the third annual Okanagan WaterWise Challenge, explained Corinne Jackson, WaterWise program coordinator. “School classes and individuals throughout the Okanagan, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, are invited to submit multimedia entries, telling us how they love their water body. “We want them to

est pools for two winning classes and two individual entry winners. And, a special option this year for winning classes— a two-hour boat charter on Okanagan Lake for a private class lesson on Okanagan water. For contest details vis-

it www.okwaterwise.ca. Contest ends May 3. On Friday, March 22, award-winning broadcaster Chris Walker, host of CBC Radio’s Daybreak Kelowna, will be moderating the OBWB/Okanagan WaterWise’s popular (and free) annual public forum at Summerhill Pyramid Winery. The event runs 5 to 8 p.m. and will begin with Walker inviting panelists to share their stories about the water they love and the work they are doing to protect it, raising awareness for their efforts and inviting community members to join them. The panel will be followed by discussion, and then light refreshments. Sitting on the panel will be: •Anna Warwick Sears— OBWB executive director, speaking for the Okanagan watershed as a whole • Maria Besso—Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake, speaking for Kal Lake • Rick Simpson—Oceola Fish and Game Club, for Wood Lake • Leon Louis—Syilx

knowledge holder, for Okanagan Lake • Stu Wells—Mayor of Osoyoos, for Osoyoos Lake • Justin Hall—Nisqually River Foundation executive director, speaking on the UN 2013 World Water Day theme of Co-operation. Seating is limited and registration is required. Register online at www.eventbrite.ca/ event/5761001310. Please note, panelists will be bringing a picture of themselves, playing or working in their special water place, and guests are asked to do the same. The photos will be part of a display and participants will be able to take their pictures home with them. Other events planned include Water And Power: A Teach In with documentary filmmaker Damien Gillis on Friday, 7 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus theatre. Admission is by donation with a minimum $10 requested. The proceeds will support the completion of Fractured Lands currently be produced by

Gillis. Gillis will take us on a journey using slides and video clips from this forthcoming film to illustrate what he calls “the biggest transformation to our socioeconomic, cultural and environmental fabric since the colonial, ‘nation building’ days of the railroads of the last century.” The Kelowna chapter of the Council of Canadians will host this presentation. For more information on this forum contact Carol Kergan at carol.kergan@alumni. ubc.ca. As well, on Saturday will be a World Water Day recognition event at Rotary Beach in Kelowna, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will include a cleanup of Rotary Beach and the adjacent Wilson Creek, and guest speaking presentations by representatives from the Council of Canadians, Paddle For The Planet, Greenpeace Kelowna, Ocean Hour, Fresh Outlook Foundation, Friends Of Mission Creek and Jan Vozenilek, producer of Journey To Midway.

That evening, Jan Vozenilek, cinematographer and founder of Copper Sky Productions, will share images of Midway Island and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a vortex in the Pacific Ocean where plastic and chemical sludge has been trapped long enough to turn it into a three kilometre-wide floating island of garbage. “Some of it is comes from ocean vessels but the vast majority comes from the great rivers of the world, carried here by ocean currents where it aggregates and remains,” said Wagner. “The story is a story

of connection between freshwater and ocean currents, and a story about how people in all countries need to cooperate to solve a huge environmental problem. “This is such a compelling story, who really knew what was going on in the ocean?” Vozenilek, who has won international acclaim for his cinematography and passion about the environment, will be at the Rotary Centre for the Arts today (Thursday) at 7 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend this free event. On Friday, university researchers com-

pete in Splashdown—a fun event, where participants have three minutes and three slides to explain their water-related research. Wagner says it promises to be entertaining. “Each speaker will have a limited time to explain the relevance of their research, with the focus being that this is a fun, community event. The information they present has to be relevant to the community. This is really a great opportunity for us to let people know what researchers are doing at UBCO. ” Splashdown takes place at Summerhill Win-

Westside water forum for businesses

A forum on how businesses can better manage water usage and reduce consumption will take place Thursday, April 4, 5 to 7:30 p.m., at the Holiday Inn West Kelowna. This event to designed to educate Okanagan business owners on how save money in being more efficient with water use. The moderator for the panel will be Corinne Jackson, communications director for the Okanagan Basin Water Board. Panel speakers will include: • John Janmaat, UBCO economics associate professor with the Barber School of Arts and Sciences • David Lederhof, Quails’ Gate Winery researcher • Lindsay Eason, cofounder and vice-president facilitation and training for Greenstep Solutions. The forum is free but space is limited so reserve a seat by emailing Mburyska@prospera.ca.

Bringing attention to need for sustainable fresh water supply With World Water Day recognized on Friday, organizers at UBC Okanagan hope people get caught up with the wave of excitement for a number of water appreciation activities. World Water Day, was first established in 1993. Each year, local groups organize events to help promote the idea of clean drinking water and water sustainability around the globe. “Living in the Okanagan Valley means that water is a fabulously important aspect of our lives,” explained associate professor of Anthropology John Wagner.

John Wagner “The goal of World Water Day is to make people more aware of the importance of water in our lives. Every aspect of water whether it’s for agriculture, drinking, or recreation, has such a profound importance for all

of us.” World Water Days takes place March 20 to 22 and Wagner says organizers hope to get the community engaged and involved in most of the activities. Opening ceremonies, hosted by the UBC Okanagan Students Union, take place at the campus in the University Centre Ballroom, 3272 University Way, at noon Thursday. Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray will be the guest speaker at the event, which will also include a drum presentation, musical entertainment and poetry readings.

Carter said while the legislation was passed, there are still several unknowns about the position, such as the resources it will have allocated to it and its actual powers. They will be covered by regulation that the government has yet to release those regulations. “A number of issues in the proposal are still unclear,” she said, declining to say if she was happy with the government’s move given the lack of information at this point.

the new seniors’ advocate will be appointed by the government not the B.C. Legislature, said Carter. So the new advocate will report to the health minister instead of the legislature. One of the main issues Carter’s office addressed in its seniors’ care report was that of home and community care and the need for better regulation. She said in some cases care is not regulated and as such, her office has no jurisdiction in those instances to look at complaints that are received. In other cases, however, such as where care provided by regional health authorities, the Ombudsperson’s office can, and does, investigate. But Carter said limitations in staff and resources means her office has to weigh requests for investigations and cannot respond to all in as timely a manner as she would like. Carter did say she has been successful this year in getting an additional $250,000 added to her office’s budget. Carter said when it comes to requests for investigations concerning seniors’ issues, her office is most often asked about Pharmacare, the medical services plan, assisted living, hospital and healthcare issues, driving issues and public guardianship issues. She said while her aim is to solve problems or help the two parties involved work out a solution, her office can and does also look at larger systemic issues, such as the overall state of seniors care in B.C. But with limited resources, she said she can only look at one to two larger issues each year. B.C. has had an ombudsperson (formerly known as the ombudsman) since 1979 and the office receives 8,000 inquiries and complaints per year. Carter, a former military lawyer and judge, was appointed B.C. Ombudsperson in 2006. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Described to the Globe and Mail newspaper by creator Jeffrey Remedios, a former Virgin Records executive who partnered with Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene to start the label, it was conceived to be a “non-commercial, notfor-profit arts collective,” and wound up with 20 Junos to its label in 10 years. Arts & Crafts backed the second album Stars put out, Heart, and a joint tour with Broken So-

cial Scene, launching Juno Award winning album You Forgot it in People, and Cranley said he doesn’t consider Stars as having stopped touring since. When asked when this international tour ends, he said, “It doesn’t. I don’t know, next December, but then we’re off to the next things so, no, it doesn’t.” If the party never stops, it at least changes and Cranley admits there are some of the 13 years he’s spent as a professional musician that do feel more like more work than others. At the moment, he and partner/lead singer Amy Milan have their two-year-old daughter on the road with them, trying to juggle parenting, late nights, partying and exercise as they slide into their 40s. It’s a balance that’s not easy to strike he admits; but as a parent, he wouldn’t have his daughter’s life roll out any other way. “She can play a full drum kit with Pat McGee. She went to the Louvre the other day. Her life is really quite remarkable,” he said, noting she also has the benefit of hanging out with six uncles on the road.

Metric lead singer Emily Haines and works with Broken Social scene, Stars, and as a solo artist. Cranley is also an original Broken Social Scene bandmate and, somewhat ironically, their visit comes on the heels of another former bandmate’s visit. Andrew Whiteman was in town performing an avant-garde poetry-inspired album, In the Pines, with his wife and AroarA collaborator, Ariel Engle, earlier this month. Cranley is the main composer of Stars’ music, along with Chris Seligman. Like any good artist, he is always aspiring to improve his craft, noting he would like to pick up the sousaphone. Named for American bandmaster John Sousa, it’s the giant tuba-type instrument that wraps around the body and leans on one’s shoulder. It’s certainly got a daunting look and when, asked how he plans to learn to play, let alone lug it around, he says he mostly just watches other musicians and emulates them at this point. This summer the group will be in the lineup for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival but also the Field Trip Arts & Crafts Music Festival, in celebration of the label’s 10th anniversary.

Okanagan wines get international spotlight

▼ DATABASE SECURED

Crime Stoppers website violated by hacker

The Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Society website was hacked into Wednesday morning, says president David Demeyere. But Demeyere wanted to reassure the public that the website, www.crimestoppers.net, is primarily a posting site for media features including wanted criminals and unsolved crimes. The integrity of any and all tips submitted is completely safe, as those are on a secure database that is not connected to this website in any way,

he said. “Our tip database is secure and encrypted and was in no way compromised by this act,” said Demeyere in a press release. Crime Stoppers has been informed by their web provider that the file system of the site was infiltrated via a file that was uploaded to the website from an attacker originating in Morocco. The attacker used the uploaded file as a staging ground to delete the files located on the hosting account, and upload his or

The latter chardonnay was produced from grapes grown in four different vineyards, while the Sandhill wines were from a single vineyard. Soon notes the winery brought the first gold medal from this competition to Canada in 1997, and he says they’re still making chardonnay the same way. Both he and Quails’ Gate operations officer Tyler Galts agree such wins are good for Canada and for the Okanagan wine industry. “Winning such an award against the top

Initial investigation into the attacker’s history of exploits suggests that the defacing of crimestoppers.net was random and proves that anyone with public information on a website can become a victim. The site has been restored and Crimestoppers are currently investigating how the exploit initially occurred and what steps can be taken to prevent it from happening again, said Demeyere.

Widely circulated in-flight magazine offers lengthy feature about Kelowna lowna and Los Angeles. Local airport oficials are justifiably excited, noting the coverage

would have cost as much as $750,000 US if it was bought as one or a series of advertisements.

Galts said the winery won a silver medal in this competition in 2008 and a bronze in 2009 as well. “Both pinot noir and chardonnay ripen well on our site,” he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

The hearT of easTer Each one of us has a heart that is about the size of our fist. It pumps about five liters of blood around our bodies. It pumps blood by beating. If a person lives 75 years and has an average pulse of 72 beats per minute, his or her heart will have beaten more than two billion 800 million times, without ever pausing or resting. The total is calculated as follows: 72 beats per minute x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 365 days x 75 years = 2,838,240,000 heart beats. Our blood is pumped through a network of blood vessels. The blood pumped through these vessels carries oxygen and nutrients to every cell of our body and then carries away the carbon dioxide and waste produced by each cell. It is estimated that there are about 80 to 100 trillion cells in an average person. It takes many blood vessels to feed all those cells. If you were to lay every blood vessel found in an average adult body, end to end in a straight line, it would stretch out about 100,000 miles, circling the globe just under 4 times. The biological heart is literally at the center of our very being. It is the hidden engine that empowers the amazing cycle of life described above. It is not surprising our biological heart is also used a symbol for our personality and thought processes. We associate the heart with emotions, especially love. A red heart is used as a symbol for romantic love. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word we translate as “heart” referred to a person’s core personality. A kind, willing and obedient person was called “soft-hearted” or described as having a “heart of flesh”. A cold, calculating and disobedient person was called “hard-hearted” or described as having a “heart of stone”. The Old Testament reveals that each one of us has a “biological heart” hidden in our chest that empowers our physical bodies and a “psychological heart” hidden in our head that empowers our thoughts and actions. A good diet, plenty of exercise and a lifestyle that keeps stress at a moderate level will keep a biological heart pumping for a long time. A person with a healthy heart can accomplish much. In the same way, if a person’s psychological heart is in line with God’s will, that person can do great things. The Holy Scriptures tell us that when love and service of God infused his psychological heart, King David was able to accomplish many feats and miracles in God’s name (1 Samuel 16 through 1 Kings 2). God enabled David to slay the Philistine giant Goliath and to enlarge Israel’s territory through many great military victories. Israel enjoyed prosperity during King David’s reign. The Holy Spirit inspired David to write many Psalms that are prayed and meditated on to this day. God loved David so much, He promised that a King would come from his body that would live for eternity and reign over an eternal kingdom.

A combination of poor diet, bad habits (like excessive drinking and/or smoking), together with undue stress, will place a burden on the biological heart. These disease factors progressively weaken the heart. The heart may become so weak and diseased that surgery and even transplantation are the only viable options left to a person. King David experienced extreme psychological heart disease that nearly killed him. King David’s heart disease was caused by a political scandal. David used his royal influence to seduce Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, a trusted officer. The Uriah was away fighting a Holy war for God. David should have been on the battlefield with his troops but stayed home. The adulterous act resulted in pregnancy. If the adultery became public, David and Bathsheba would have been stoned. The stress on David must have been crushing. Like any politician, his immediate response was to cover the affair up. He had Uriah brought home from the front lines in hopes that the couple would have relations and thereby link the pregnancy to the legitimate husband. Israelite soldiers were sworn to celibacy during Holy wars. Uriah refused carnal knowledge of his wife. King David’s stress level went up. He changed his tactics. He issued orders that put Uriah on the front line. Then Uriah carried the very orders that sealed his fate to the General in charge. Uriah died as planned. David married Bathsheba. David was sure that he had gotten away with murder and adultery. His stress subsided. He thought the health of his psychological heart was restored. God could not let David live and reign as His representative on earth with a diseased heart. God wanted David to see just how sick he was. God sent a man named Nathan, a prophet, to David. Nathan recounted David’s secret sins to his face. Nathan declared that God knew David’s secret sins. David’s response: “I have sinned against the Lord.” (2 Samuel 12:13) God let David see that his psychological heart was covered with sores. The sores stood for sin. God let David see that his heart disease went deeper than the sores of adultery and murder. His psychological heart was defective from birth. David confessed that he was conceived in sin (Psalm 51:5). The sin that David had committed separated him from God in this life and for eternity. God also showed David that there was only one treatment for his heart condition. David wrote this prayer to God: “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10) The Hebrew word translated “create” is the same word that is used in the first sentence of the Bible. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” David knew he could not repair his psychological heart. God had to provide David with a new heart.

God did indeed create a new psychological heart in David. God did not erase David’s memory of all the sins he committed or miraculously reverse all the carnage his sins had caused. God created a new heart in David by forgiving all of his sins. God blotted out and wiped away all of the sins that burdened his psychological heart and threatened to destroy David’s biological and psychological heart. God gave David a new start, free from the stress and anxiety that his sinful life had produced in him. However, God answered David’s prayer most fully and profoundly on the first Easter weekend. David, and all believers, received a total heart transplant the first Easter weekend. For a transplant to occur, a donor must give up his life so that the sick person can receive the needed organ. On the first Good Friday, Jesus suffered and died on the cross and thereby paid for all the consequences of the sins committed by King David and all believing sinners who came before and after him. Jesus’ death for our sins heals our psychological heart today in the same way David’s was healed: sins are forgiven and we are given a new start. However, Easter Sunday also permitted the Ultimate heart transplant. On Good Friday, Jesus’ human heart stopped beating. On Easter Sunday, Jesus was endowed with a heart that beat for eternity. Jesus transplants His new heart in us. The new heart is first transplanted in us as faith. Faith in Jesus’ promise: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26) After human death, we receive the promised resurrection. At the resurrection of the body, our heart of faith is transformed into a new physical heart that beats for eternity and we are given a new psychological heart, a mind that knows no sin and can be in full communion with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for eternity. Do you need a heart transplant? Join us at Grace on Good Friday (March 29th) at 10:30 AM when we will remember Jesus’ sacrifice for us, and on Easter Sunday (March 31st) at 9:00 or 10:30 AM when we will celebrate His resurrection and praise and adore Him for giving us our new hearts. In Christ, Pastor Ed Skutshek

STAFF REPORTER

Eight associations representing residents and businesses throughout West Kelowna shared their concerns with council during a special meeting Tuesday. Mayor Doug Findlater said the purpose of the meeting wasn’t to debate issues; rather, for district staff and council to hear feedback from various community groups. A common theme among the neighbourhood associations was the need for traffic calming. *** Smith Creek Neighbourhood Association volunteer Dave Compton said residents are concerned about drivers speeding on their streets. “Ever since the opening of Asquith and Ironridge Roads, we have anecdotal evidence that there seems to be more traffic. There seems to be speeders and short cutters who are cutting across Ironridge Road, Wildhorse Drive (to) Smith Creek Road,” said Compton. He added the community is seeking better communication with the district, increased by-law enforcement, a community venue and improved green spaces. *** The Glenrosa Residents’ Association was represented by Michael Trenn. He said areas of concern were the Morningside Drive and Glenrosa Road intersection, an evacuation route in case of fire, horse signage and mosquito control. “There hasn’t been any movement on a second route out,” said Trenn. “The issue is that the alternate suggestions to move people out of there…are probably more likely to be more dangerous than the route that we used during 2009.” Mayor Doug Findlater said it’s part of the Transportation Master Plan that’s still being developed. “It’s going to be a very costly item, in the tens of millions of dollars, so we have to look for funding,” said Findlater. *** The Shannon Lake Neighbourhood Association was one group that had positive things to say about traffic calming. The district recently committed to implement six measures in the area with the hope of making the roads safer. “We’re in a much better place than we were this time last year,” said Dave Mathieson, who spoke on behalf of the association. Many in the Shannon Lake neighbourhood are not happy about the location of the bulk water station. Mathieson asked that the district focus on making it as aesthetically pleasing as possible. “I hope council can provide some direction to make a very good effort on that corner.” *** Bob Hardy represented the Casa Loma Community Association Tuesday. He said the first upgrade to the storm water management system in the region led to a few problems as the

ondary suites, municipal policing priorities and ineffective road designs. Coun. Gord Milsom said he’d be interested in seeing the long list of issues prioritized by the association. “Because they affect us in different ways, we would say that all of the things that we brought today are very important. They affect us in the short-, medium- and longterm,” said Trenn. *** The Westbank and District Chamber of Commerce indicated its support for the district’s recent market sounding exercise for a new municipal hall. “The chamber would like to see City Hall move into the downtown Westbank core. It’s our understanding that many business owners believe that a civic centre or a similar anchor building is re-

quired for regrowth to occur in downtown Westbank,” said advocacy chair Kris Smart. Smart added the chamber endorses the creation of an online business directory and a shop local program to encourage Westside businesses to do business with each other. He added the district should rethink its current tender policy to give local bids higher priority. *** The Green Bay Property Owners Association used their entire presentation to speak about a much-needed dredging project (see story, page A32). District staff took notes during all the presentations. Reports on various issues will likely come back to council within the next two months.

ditches were deeper than residents anticipated. He asked for better communication going forward. Hardy noted a new development at the end of Benedick Road is also of primary concern to residents. “Casa Loma Community Association will be evaluating any new development to ensure the appropriate infrastructure is in place to meet the needs of the existing community,” said Hardy He added the district needs an effective plan to deal with the necessary water supply and increased traffic along the road. *** Historic Westbank Association president Gordon Ficke spoke about wpaterson an interest in establishing @kelownacapnews.com a park to commemorate the Okanagan Fur Brigof the Central and South ade Trail.

Dogs chasing wildlife Earth Hour challenge frowned on by city Kelowna City Hall was recently made aware of yet another off-leash dog chasing a deer in Knox Mountain Park—a seemingly growing trend at this time of year. “Knox Mountain Park, while used heavily by residents, is a wildlife area,” said Blair Stewart, the city’s urban forestry supervisor. “Year-round, wildlife is present in the park and the temptation to chase wildlife can prove too great for off-leash dogs. It’s not just wildlife they chase but also other dogs and people who

might not appreciate it.” The park area is regularly patrolled by the regional district’s dog control officers.

Mayor Walter Gray has issued a friendly challenge to Kelowna residents—to participate in Earth Hour to help raise awareness for the World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour event, taking place Saturday, March 23. Residents are encouraged to turn off electric lights and appliances for one hour from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Earth Hour is a global event highlighting the importance of conserving energy.

Another mishandled plan

ooing the ethnic vote is nothing new in the political world —especially in the scrappy mud-wrestling that defines election campaigns and often politics in general in B.C. Over the past few decades, ethnic communities—particularly South Asian—have wielded increasing political power, both in terms of individual voting, and fielding their own representatives. Winning favour in these com-

munities can secure a mainstream candidate’s seat, or significantly bolster a party’s fortunes. And so it’s little surprise the beleaguered B.C. Liberals looked to the ethnic vote as partial salvation from the political quagmire in which they find themselves. Except, in what has become virtually predictable Liberal fashion, the initiative was fumbled. What was conceived as an

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

ethnic outreach effort turned into another embarrassment, with distasteful references to “quick wins” via government apologies to ethnic communities for historical wrongs. Apparently, it never occurred to the Liberal strategists involved that they were playing catch with a live hand grenade should the NDP—and thus the media, and thus the public—were ever to hear about this ill-considered plan. Of course, that’s what hap-

pened, and Premier Christy Clark had to do some apologizing of her own. It seems the Liberals learned little from the last internal pratfall, when it was discovered they were breaking the rules by using taxpayer-funded computers and facilities to launch anti-NDP websites. Premier Christy Clark must be growing weary of having to say sorry for the mistakes of her team. It may well be that she won’t have to for much longer.

Quality of education policies mirrors level of investment

ven though a country provides its citizens with basic education the quality isn’t the same for everyone. South Africa is a perfect example where prior to 1996 the education system was based on racial segregation. Black South Africans could expect high pupil-teacher ratios and a curriculum based on white supremacy. The government spent nine-times more per-pupil if the student was white. Education wasn’t even mandatory for black children. Once the white only govern-

ment was removed, in 1996, the South African Schools Act was established. This piece of legislation made education compulsory for all children Jane from age 7 to 15. This Muskens would mean students had to complete at least Grade 9. Once students hit Grade 10 they could choose a vocational training route where they would then study at a training college similar to the trades and technical training you would see at B.C. community colleges and BCIT. If they didn’t want to pursue this kind of education, they stayed in the

SCHOOL’S IN

basic school system and completed their Grade 12. According to Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development data, although many South Africans study beyond Grade 9, the per cent who actually graduate from either the vocational or academic stream is only 58 per cent, which means 42 per cent of their youth don’t have a high school diploma. There are also a large number of students who repeat courses and grades on a regular basis—some have to repeat courses as early as Grade 1. In 2010, 10.3 per cent of students were regularly repeating grades. More than 13 per cent of students in Grade 1 repeated whereas this number in-

creased to 24.4 to 24.3 per cent for Grade 10 and 11 students. Another interesting statistic is if you break this down by race, in 2009, 80 per cent of black South Africans graduated with an academic high school diploma, whereas white South Africans had a 99 per cent high school graduation rate. Other data coming out of this country seems to indicate that they have a long way to go to make education an equal opportunity for all. The quality of its education system seems to remain poor and uneven across regions and populations, which are most noticeable when South African students are ranked on international test scores. There are gov-

ernment funded schools in the poorer regions of the country which lack electricity, running water, and textbooks. Ninety per cent of these schools don’t even have libraries. On the flip side, 20 per cent of the schools in South Africa are private schools where most of the students are white and where parents pay tuition. Quality basic education comes down to whether you can afford it or not. South Africa has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world, sitting between 50 and 60 per cent. Education is probably key in changing that alarming statistic. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

Electric cars—do the math on subsidy effect on tax base To the editor: All levels of government are promoting electric vehicles by providing incentives. In the case of the B.C. government, they are using taxpayer money to partially fund the installation of public recharging stations (Capital News, March 19: Kelowna Campus Generates Buzz Over Electric Car Chargers). This article goes on to use B.C. Ministry of Environment information that states “electric vehicles can cost as little as $300 per year in electricity compared to upward of $1,500 to fuel a gas powered car.” What is being ignored is at least one-third

of the figure quoted for a gas powered car is tax ($500) much of which is allocated to road improvements/construction. Presently, an electric car, when using electricity, pays no ‘road tax.’ The loss of this revenue is not sustainable and will need to be recovered. Considering funding alternatives for public transit in the Lower Mainland, increasing fuel taxes may not be workable if the demand for electric cars increases and revenues from fuel taxes softens. One of the options being considered is a mileage tax, where you pay a tax based on the distance that you are driving and not by what

the vehicle uses for fuel to get there. Consumption taxes (HST/GST/PST), including those on fuel, have one disadvantage in that they do not promote the government to ‘drive’ prices lower. Price decreases, while good for the taxpayer, result in lower tax revenue for government. Canadians have long complained about the price of fuel (and other goods) when comparing to the U.S., yet the Canadian government remains complacent on finding the reason—perhaps there is not enough incentive for change.

▼ GOVERNMENT

We’d be in a pickle if we all realized our Canadian constitution is not legally viable they’ve seen in the movies about the American constitution, but absolutely nothing about their own—or lack thereof. And we all know what assuming does, don’t we. Years ago you could get a hard copy of the BNA Act simply by request it—for free. Then they started charging a fee which escalated dramatically over time—the plan was to make it as inaccessible as possible for your average Joe Blow because too many people were starting to ask questions. But then along came the Internet—you don’t have an excuse anymore.

The read is very long and very boring so few even bother trying, but you might want to look, like I did, regarding income tax, if nothing else. You will find that even if the Canadian constitution was legal (which it isn’t) our government(s) is (are) not following it— they are breaking their own laws every second of every minute of every hour of every day. The trouble is—what do you do? I mean, we’re talking about the functioning of the whole country— nobody even wants to go there. Can you imagine? At the same time, how

do you get anybody to even seriously examine the situation? I mean, no media outlet would touch it with a 10-foot pole—no investigative report as these guys have to contend with everything government (CRTC, Revenue Canada, etc.) (throws in the way)—they would be putting their operating licenses at risk, they would be inviting the feds in for an audit, bank accounts could get frozen and then how do you operate? On and on it goes, so nobody looks, nobody dares say anything, nobody wants to even consider or let alone believe it

possible. Even judges strike down any court challenges; after all, if it turned out to be true then they would be part of a lie and breaking the very laws they are supposedly enforcing—can’t have that now can we. Your letter might not do much Jack, but if even one person bothers to make the effort to look at what you have laid out, then one more person knows. Way to go my friend. John B. Collinson, Kelowna

These cuts to business risk management come on the heels of short-sighted plans to eliminate the Agroforestry Development Centre in Indian Head and the PFRA’s Community Pasture program—which both provide essential public services for producers that don’t have viable private business models—as well as reckless cuts to food inspection, which leaves the door open to another XL Foods-like crisis.

More surprisingly, they also take a huge chunk out of AgriStability, which helps cover declines in producers’ average income from previous years, hacking off as much as $411 million a year, for a total cut of more than $2 billion over the five-year program. With these cuts, the Conservatives are leaving producers more vulnerable when bad times hit, and doing so despite clearly hearing from farmers how valuable these programs are. Instead of cutting red

To the editor: MP Ron Cannan likes to say that he and the Conservative Party support our farmers. The facts say otherwise.

HARDCOVER FICTION PAUL CRAWFORD, director and curator of the Penticton Art Gallery looks over some of the work of the district’s three secondary school students this week, which will be included in the exhibition entitled Electric Circus, opening Friday. CONTRIBUTED

Okanagan artists at Penticton Art Gallery Kristi Patton PENTICTON WESTERN NEWS

Eclectic Circus is a title that area secondary school teachers say pretty well sums up the dayto-day activity in the art room. It is also the name of the latest exhibit showing in the Toni Onley Gallery and Project Room at the Penticton Art Gallery opening on March 22. This exhibit is part of an annual installation that features visual arts students from Penticton Secondary School, Princess Margaret and Summerland Secondary School. “Every year it seems the teachers become more competitive with each other so it is always exciting to see how they push each other and their students to create stuff. For me it is always illuminating and interesting to see where the students’ heads are at,” said Penticton Art Gallery director/

curator Paul Crawford. “It’s cool to see the projects and makes me wish when I was in high school that I had teachers that really got me to push the boundaries and stretch my mind.” Crawford said one of the neat aspects of bringing in exhibitions by local students is seeing their friends and family get a chance to see their work in such a public space. “It’s incredible for the kids because it builds such great self-esteem. It is pretty gutsy to be able to stand up and expose yourself. It’s one thing for the parents and kids, but inevitably every year I will have some person come in off the street and ask if they can purchase a piece. Kids have sold works of art out of these shows and that is a major boost to their self-esteem,” said Crawford. “The people showing in the main gallery also get inspiration out of what the

kids are doing and viceversa.” Work on the exhibit began this week to get ready for Friday’s opening, which will include ceramic art and unique t-shirts that feature paintings done by the students then set in glue among other pieces of work. “My basic philosophy is, and has been for 20 years as an art teacher, that it is opportunity that gives us permission to be the best we can be,” said Dawn Richards of Penticton Secondary School. “Providing an array of approaches to art-making gives students that opportunity to try different media and techniques. As the old Buddhist proverb goes, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” Teachers have given the students an opportunity to play, experiment and express rather than prescribed learning outcomes or prepackaged lessons. A

wide variety of talent presented in different skills and abilities mimics the theme of the circus as a forum for diversity. “The materials we manipulate often reflect the diverse approaches we all can take when creating art. The art room is a place to celebrate triumphs and failure. The process of creating should allow room for joy and frustration. Unlike the circus and gallery, the process of making art never ends,” said Brad Gibson, teacher at Princess Margaret Secondary School. “It is my hope that students discover that learning to be creative is an event that hopefully never stops. There is always room to grow and learn form the old as we move forward to new challenges.” Also opening on Friday is Terroir: Physically Speaking in the main gallery and features work from Stephan Bircher, of Enderby; Lake Coun-

try artists Rose Braun and Wanda Lock; Penticton’s Michael Hermesh and Johann Wessels; and Kelowna artist Shauna Oddleifson. This is the second of an ongoing series of exhibitions which are intended to explore and celebrate the incredible depth and breadth of the region’s visual arts community. Borrowing the word terroir from the wine industry, the series of exhibitions seeks to discover if there are any special characteristics that the geography, geology and climate of the Okanagan Valley has had on the artist who live here and their work. An exhibition tour of Terroir: Physically Speaking and artist walk and talk takes place Saturday, March 23 at 2 p.m. On March 27, Hermesh is the feature artist for Topics and Tea, a free event at the Penticton Art Gallery at 2 p.m. Wessels is the feature artist for April 24.

Join the Croods as they embark on world’s first family road trip

rom the director of How to Train Your Dragon comes the latest from DreamWorks Animation. Featuring the voices of Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds and Cloris Leachman, The Croods tells the story of a stone age family that predates even The Flintstones. After their cave is destroyed, The Croods must embark on the world’s first family road trip into strange and spectacular territory in search of a new home. Already out of their element, their situation goes from bad to worse when they encounter an imaginative nomad. The Croods started life at Aardman Animation co-written by Monty Python alumn John Cleese and was going to be stop motion until DreamWorks took over the project and made it with CGI animation. How to Train Your Dragon was a spectacular 3D adventure and hopefully the director has created another fun and colourful comedy-adventure.

Olympus Has Fallen is not to be confused with the upcoming White House Down (opening June 28), which has a very similar story starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx and directed by Roland Emmerich (2012, Independence Day).

Art work invites us to touch, smell, hear Tangible contemporary art invites viewers to experience its touch, smell, movement and auditory aspects. The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art opens an exhibition by Kelowna artist and curatorial intern Laura Gourley on Friday, March 22 at 7 p.m. The reception welcomes Gourley and her collaborative exhibition Tangible: An Exhibition of Interactive Artwork, on display in the Alternator Main Gallery in the Rotary Centre for the Arts. Tangible is an interactive art exhibition showcasing the works of a collaboration of student artists dedicated to exploring the physical qualities of viewing art. It was conceived to examine the unique approach of invit-

ing the viewer to actively participate in the looking process through the ability to physically interact with the art work by utilizing senses that are not traditionally appropriated to the viewing of art work, such as touch, smell, movement and auditory experiences. This method of viewing allows the audience to gain a deeper understanding of the art work thus a heightened appreciation for it, and it is in this process that the viewer and the artist become a collaborative force in the making of each art piece. The idea was birthed out of Gourley’s child-like frustration of being bound

by barriers and social constraints in the art world, which are accompanied by a strict “no touch” policy. This policy serves to create a strong distinction between ‘art’ and its audience. This exhibition aims to break those superior notions and bridge the gap. Through this process she hopes to entice a wider audience to engage with art and bring to light the integral part the viewer plays in making art what it is. Gourley is currently in her fourth year of the BFA program at UBC Okanagan, and has recently returned from a year attending the prestigious

Glasgow School of Art in Scotland on exchange. She is currently the curatorial intern at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art. Tangible: An Exhibition of Interactive Artwork will be on display in the Main Gallery of the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art from March 22 to March 29. The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is an artist-run centre located in Kelowna at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 421 Cawston Ave. Call 250-868-2298, check www.alternatorcentre. com, or email info@alternatorgallery.com for more information.

National volunteer week “Volunteers cast a beautiful shadow.” That is the theme for this year’s National Volunteer Week. Are you planning an event during the week of April 21-27 to celebrate with volunteers involved in your not-for-profit? People motivated volunteers love to party, so give them one to remember. Take some great photos of your event and share them, with a brief description, on the Volunteer Central Okanagan Facebook page. It is a wonderful way to brag about your organization and the local impact being made by your volunteers. Impact statements help describe the ‘shadow’ being cast and this resonates with your task-oriented volunteers. Volunteer BC invites you to post photos of volun-

teers in action during the 2012/2013 year on their website at volunteerphotocontest.tumblr.com. Prizes will be awarded to the top three photos. You have until April 15 to nominate that special someone, business or non-profit for a Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award. Recipients receive a medal and certificate from the Prime Minister at a formal ceremony. This type of recognition is valued most by the influence-motivated volunteers in your group. Three of the possible categories include life-long achievement, emerging leader and community leader. Providing addition-

al training is an important way to recognize volunteers. Add a speaker to your event. Send a volunteer to a workshop through KCR. Take a volunteer with you to AVRBC’s Conference this May to hear Susan Ellis. If you are still looking for ideas to capture the ‘shadow’ cast by the amazing volunteers you work with, check out Volunteer Canada’s campaign kit. There are tip sheets, seminars, thank you cards to name a few resources. Take the time to enjoy the volunteers in your organization and share them with us on the Volunteer Central Okanagan Facebook page. 250-763-8008, ext 24 informkelowna@kcr.ca

Producers Ridley Scott (Prometheus) and his late brother Tony (Unstoppable) present Stoker, a psychological thriller starring Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland),

Matthew Goode (Chasing Liberty) and Nicole Kidman. After India Stoker’s father dies in an auto accident, her Uncle Charlie, who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother. Soon after his arrival, she comes to suspect this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives, but instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless girl becomes increasingly infatuated with him. Critics have heaped praise on Korean director

Park Chan-wook’s English-language debut, calling it dark and atmospheric, populated by mysterious characters. It opens exclusively at the Paramount Theatre. And opening next Thursday is G.I. Joe: Retaliation, with advance screenings on Wednesday night. Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8 in West Kelowna. landmarkwk_gm @landmarkcinemas.ca

▼ ELECTION

Clark not swayed by current low ranking in public opinion polls

Premier from A1 of government, including First Nations. • Deploy educational and training programs that are future-focused and aligned to meet the changing needs of small business and the labor talent it develops. • Create long-term opportunities for small business through government procurement. Clark said she came to Kelowna, and specifically Anodyne Electronics

Manufacturing Corp. on Kirschner Road, because this area is a hot bed of small business and Anodyne is a good example of a small business that has grown substantially in the last 18 months. The designer and manufacturer of aircraft audio systems, intercoms, tactical FM radio systems, illuminated panels and display products, as well as external PA systems, audio amplifiers and remote switch assem-

blies has grown by 50 per cent in the last 18 months and has increased its staff from 49 employees to 88 since it started in 2009. While 98 per cent of all businesses in B.C. are considered small businesses, 13 per cent of the province’s total number of small business are located in the Okanagan, said local MLA Steve Thomson. Clark said her government plans to provide incentives for local govern-

ments if they can demonstrate they are acting within the spirit of the new accord, will appoint a senior official to consult directly with small business owners and will develop a mobile skills trainers program to provide training and certification using existing equipment in colleges and industry. She is also pledging to look at how the province procures goods and services in order to “level the

playing field” for small businesses that want to deal with the province. “The government is a big buyer of services,” said the premier. “We need to increase the amount we spent with (small B.C. businesses).” One of the ways Victoria plans to do that is to reduce the paperwork involved for companies responding to a request for proposals from the province to a maximum of two pages from, in some

cases, the current 80 pages. The incentive for municipalities to work more with small business will be up to $10,000 for as many as 20 cities or towns that show they are acting in the spirit of the accord. During her tour of the Anodyne operation, Clark was shown several areas of the operation, including where speakers used in helicopters are built. While there, she was told that the company provided the speakers and

sound systems used on the helicopters in a scene from the latest blockbuster James Bond movie Skyfall. Dave Veitch, president of Anodyne, told Clark that in the scene where helicopters attack and blow up Bond’s ancestoral home in the Scottish highlands, the speakers mounted on the outside of the helicopters and the sound systems used to blare the music were provided by his company. awaters@kelownacapnews,com

Tax Credit, this plan will need to be wound up in the following year. The plans were initially set up to be in the care of the legal guardian, but as the population ages, the legal guardians are dying and the disabled person may not have the capacity to manage their own plan. There has been a recent change to allow certain family members to become the trustee of this plan if the beneficiary of the plan may be considered incompetent to manage their plan. The rule with this plan is when there is a withdrawal, the grants for the last 10 years need to be repaid in full. The 2012 federal budget introduced a proportional repayment rule that says for every $1 withdrawn from the plan, $3 of any CDSGs or CDSBs need to be repaid. There are two types of withdrawals that can be made from this plan. They are a discretionary disability assistance payment or a lifetime disability assistance payment. Specific rules limit the maximum amount that may be withdrawn annually. These rules were set up so that the plan would last the drawer for at least 10 years. The budget proposed to increase the maximum annual limit for withdrawals especially if a doctor certifies that the beneficiary has a life expectance of five years or less. If the parents of a disabled child have invested in an RESP, and the child is unable to enroll in post-secondary education, the budget has also allowed for the transfer of these funds into an RDSP on a tax free basis as long as the beneficiary of both plans are the same. A tip here would be not to transfer the entire amount over at once, but to only transfer enough annually over a number of years to receive the CDSG and the CDSB in the RDSP. Another tip would be to contribute up to the $200,000 maximum as

here are many instances where a person might need to consider getting some relief for a disability. Some of that relief can be obtained through agencies such as Worksafe BC, if the disability is work related, or Service Canada if the disability is enduring. These agencies are able to provide some monthly income to disabled persons. The Canada Revenue Agency has also introduced measures to help both people dealing with a disability and for caregivers. The most under-utilized tax code benefit is the use of the disability tax credit. This credit provides the disabled person with a tax credit of $7,546 against any other income which calculates to a $1,132 deduction against their federal taxes owing. Each province also has a matching deduction of an equal or lower amount. In order to claim this credit, the claimant would need to take form T2201 to their doctor and have the doctor fill out the form. Then the form needs to be mailed to the regional CRA office. There the form is reviewed and eventually, the taxpayer receives a letter from CRA indicating that the deduction has been approved indicating for how many years the taxpayer can take the deduction before another T2201 form must be filled out. The next measure is a tax deferred savings plan called the Registered Disability Savings Plan . The purpose of a tax deferred savings plan is to allow you to set aside money without paying tax until you actually take that money out of the plan. The uniqueness of this particular plan is that payments can be made into the plan by a relative or other person for the benefit of the disabled person up to a lifetime maximum of $200,000. These deposits can be matched upon application by the Canada Disability Savings Grant (CDSG) and the Canada Disability Savings Bond (CDSB). Interest can accumulate in the plan tax free. The beneficiary of this plan must also qualify for the Disability Tax Credit. If the beneficiary improves and no longer qualifies for the Disability

Rockets show resolve in captain’s absence Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

As both a close friend and teammate, Zach Franko felt a jolt of regret when he found out Colton Sissons would be sidelined for the WHL playoffs. Still, as one of the veterans who will be counted on by his Kelowna Rockets throughout the 201213 post-season, the Winnipeg native said there’s no time or need to dwell on the loss of the club’s captain. “Colton’s a huge part of this team, he’s a great captain and it’s always tough to see a guy go down like that,” said Franko, one of three assistant captains with the Rockets. “But that’s some adversity right there and our team has done really well with that this year. We’re going to keep fighting right to the end and I think we’ve got a real good opportunity here. A lot of us older guys are going to have to step up and I believe we will.”

The Rockets, seeded second in the Western Conference, will open the playoffs Friday night at home to the No. 7 Seattle Thunderbirds. Game 2 in the best-of-seven series will go Saturday at Prospera Place. After colliding with Giants’ defenceman Mason Geertsen last Friday night in Vancouver, the Rockets found out Monday Sissons would be sidelined eight to 12 weeks with an upper body injury.

If there is any consolation in the loss of their captain and MVP, it’s fact that the Rockets survived, and even thrived, without Sissons in the lineup this season, winning nine of 11 games. As a team that won 52 regular season games with no so-called “superstars” and features plenty of depth up front, head coach Ryan Huska expects his Rockets will find ample ways to compensate again in the playoffs. “The one positive is

that we’ve been a four-line team all year, a six-defenceman team and we’ve used everybody in every situation,” said Huska. “Somebody is going to rise up, we can’t be expecting one guy in particular to do it. I think it has to be a group of 20 players in our dressing room that are all committed to playing a little bit harder.” While his leadership qualities will undoubtedly be missed on the ice, Huska said what Sissons has passed on to the rest of the team’s veterans will be invaluable as the post-season progresses. “Colton did a good job this year of getting his assistant captains on board,” Huska said. “With that, other older guys came on board, too, so I think we’ve got ourselves in a good position where we now have lot of leaders in our dressing room. Guys will rise to the challenge, I know that and everybody will add a little bit extra.” One player chomping

Warriors look to close out Merritt in first round One more win. That’s what stands between the West Kelowna Warriors and a berth in the BCHL’s Interior Division final. The Warriors and Merritt Centennials will meet Tuesday night in Game 5 of their first-round series at Royal LePage Place. Face off is 7 p.m. West Kelowna took a commanding 3-1 series lead thanks to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night in Merritt. Reid Simmonds notched the win-

ner four minutes in the third period, converting a pass from Brennan Clark. Matt Anholt opened the scoring with a short-handed marker eight minutes into game four. Marcus Basara also converted a wild scramble with less than a minute remaining in the second period as West Kelowna rebounded from a 4-3 loss on Monday. The big story early for the Warriors was Tyler Briggs who made 14

of his 38 saves in the opening period

and was named the game’s first star. “Briggsy was amazing both games for us,” said Reid Simmonds. “We just got a little bit of luck, and it worked out for us.” A physical series from the first drop of the puck, Simmonds said the Warriors want to wrap it up as soon as possible. “We’re just looking to seal it now. There are a lot of guys who are banged-up right now.”

Ok Rockets battle Giants in BCMML final

The Okanagan Rockets and Northwest Giants will square off this weekend at Burnaby Winter Club for the B.C. Major Midget League title. Games 1 and 2 will go Friday and Saturday nights, with a third game, if necessary, set for Sunday morning. The Rockets advanced to the final with a sweep of the Cariboo Cougars last weekend in Prince George, while the Giants needed three games to take down the Greater Vancouver Canadians. There wasn’t much to choose between the teams during the regular season as each club won once and the other two games were tied. The Rockets outscored the Giants 1413 in the four meetings. “It’s going to be a great championship series,” said Rockets GM David Michaud. The Giants (34-24) finished first in the BCMML, 14 points ahead of the third-place Rockets (26-8-6). The series winner will take on the Alberta champion for the right to represent the Pacific region at the Telus Cup national midget hockey championship, April 22 to 28 in Sault Ste. Marie.

Kelowna sensei makes golden return to judo Judo from A23 nament. Hubble, 44, scored three decisive wins en route to the gold, including a victory over Leigh Yamada who recently won the title at the 2012 world championships in Miami. A sensei (coach) at the Kelowna Judo Club, Hubble competed on the Canadian national team in the 1980s, won a silver at the Pan Am Championships in 1985 and a bronze at the Pan Am Games in 1987. Despite her early success, Hubble was feeling

“burnt out” and stepped away from the sport at just 19. For the next two decades, she worked as a fulltime stunt performer in the film industry, working on hundreds of films including Rumble in the Bronx with Jackie Chan, and Agent Cody Banks, doubling for Hilary Duff. Judo had seemingly become part of her past but after being invited to a reunion of the 1980s national teams, Hubble rediscovered her passion for the sport. When she joined the Kelowna Judo Club and became a coach, her re-

turn to the sport was complete. “I didn’t feel I had much knowledge to pass on, though, as I’d been away from the sport for so long, the kids were teaching me,” said Hubble. “But all the other senseis there were so awesome and they welcomed me back so warmly and helped me remember my techniques from the past. It all started to come back, like muscle memory, and it felt great to be giving back and helping out.” Twenty-four years after leaving the sport behind, her competitive bug had also returned and

her sights were soon set on competing at an elite level. Hubble started training hard, soon to realize it was better idea to train smart, not hard, as as injuries were more likely to occur than 24 years earlier. “It really bummed me out that I couldn’t train hard like in the past when I wanted to,” she said, “but everything was hurting and I just don’t bounce as easily at 44 as I did when I was 19.” Kathy entered her first competition last December, winning gold in the Master’s Division and a

silver in the regular division. Not yet feeling fully prepared or in competitive shape, Hubble committed to training harder for the Spokane tournament. It paid off. “That felt pretty good, considering I had only been back for two months at that point, but I wanted to win decisively, so that was my goal for this past weekend’s tournament.” Thanks in large part to her gold medal effort in Spokane, Hubble has her confidence back is now focused winning gold at the worlds this November in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. “If I can take gold there, I’ll be satisfied enough to retire again, and then dedicate the rest of my judo life coaching,” said Hubble. “But I really want to train hard to try for that gold. I mean ‘train smarter, not harder’. I guess Advil and I will be friends for a little while

JUDO CLUB COMPETITION

In other competition news, the Kelowna Judo Club kids went down to

Penticton recently for an interclub shiai (mock tournament) with all athletes picking up wins. Kelowna Judo Club competed against Vernon Judo, Penticton Judo, and Lake Country Judo clubs. Gunnar and Grayson Tolsdorf, Ben and Bailey Leatherdale, Josh and Ben Hamilton, Jake and Max Black, Jessie Insley, Ricardo Piers, and Rajan Sandhu all competed hard, some of them getting three matches, and some as many as seven matches. At an interclub shiai, the kids get to learn exactly what a real tournament is like, and practice the rules. For a lot of the kids attending, this was their first tournament experience. “Each and every one of them represented Kelowna so well, with not only awesome fighting, but great sportsmanship and etiquette as well,” said coach Kathy Hubble.

Solid season for Kelowna FIS skiers Several local FIS racers have posted some positive results on the national alpine ski circuit as the 2012-13 season comes to a close. Oyama native and former Big White Racer Sarah Elliot skied to a third-place finish at the Van Houtte Cup earlier this month at Sun Peaks Resort near Kamloops. Elliot, who is making a comeback after her third knee surgery last year, is pleased with her progress. “I’m excited about how my GS skiing is coming along after training at Sun Peaks, and after the races I’m feeling confident,” Elliot said, “but still have some work to do on my line and tactics.” At the same competi-

tion at Sun Peaks, Kelowna racer Silken Rauhala placed sixth in the slalom, and sixth and ninth in GS. Seger Nelson was 16th and 18th in slalom. Among other results this season for Kelowna skiers, Rauhala was 12th and ninth in the slalom last month at the U18 national championships in Collingwood, Ont. Connor Callaghan was 20th at the U18s in the men’s slalom. At a FIS event last month in at Osler Bluff, Ont., Callaghan took 15th in the slalom event, while Rauhala was also 15th in the women’s event. Callaghan and Rauhala are both in Whistler this week for the senior nationals, March 20 to 26.

Ian is a good friend and I was always interested in what he was Ddoing. It’s been a good move.” This weekend, Ireland will wrap up the season at the Nor-Am ski cross e g

GRANOFF, LOLA BETH Lola Beth Granoff, on March 16, 2013, age 69, went home to be with her Lord after losing a long and courageous struggle with Parkinson’s. Lola will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Dalas (John) Adcock, and three grandchildren, Nickolas, Adam and Savannah. Lola also leaves behind to cherish her memory, her sister Denise (Van) Averill, her brother Watson (Evelyn) Shircliff, Kenneth (Mary) Hagen, and Alvera Frame; five Nieces and Nephews, and her extended family and friends, Gary Granoff, the Falk Family, Val Dunn, Marilyn Letcher, Lynn & Steven Morrison, and the Jahnke Family. Lola was predeceased by her sister, parents, and partner and good friend, David Falk. Lola was a proud and dedicated employee of CIBC for over 30 years. She took pride being an active leader in raising funds for the Children’s Hospital. She spent many happy years in sorority, Beta Sigma Phi. Lola was known to be the organizer, the keeper of special momento’s and her memory was truly amazing! Her beautiful signature, her love of people, her holiday traditions, proud to be a “prairie girl”, her strength to endure....She will be missed; always in our hearts. Lola will rest with her parents, in Sceptre, Saskatchewan. Services and Interment will take place at a later date, yet to be announced. The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to Val Dunn for her friendship, compassion and companionship while Lola made her final journey.

GILL, GEORGE George wrote his final chapter on March 16, 2013 at the age of 77. Survived by his loving wife of 13 years, Grace, and daughters; Genevieve of New Zealand, Rowena of Vancouver and Valerie (Dan) of Victoria. George was also the adored Grandpa of Natalie, Tatum and Sarah. Upon marrying Grace in May 2000, he became a treasured member of her warm and welcoming extended family. George was an individual, a loner, he would tell you, a little bit quirky and pretty much a klutz. This he attributed to his 6’5” height and his size 15 feet. Born of working class parents at Mt. Sinai Hospital in the Bronx, New York, March 13, 1936, hegrew up with a working knowledge of racism and discrimination. George’s first love was baseball. As a lad, his dad took him to major league ball games, and he later enjoyed selling programs at Yankee Stadium. After a year at New York City Community College in Brooklyn from 1954-55, he did a two year stint in the US Navy on an oil tanker in the Persian Gulf during the Suez Crisis. In 1958 he graduated from Hofstra University with both an Associate of Arts & Bachelor of Arts degree. During these years he notes: “Job in welfare office (fired). Job with Parks Dept (quit).” In 1965 George received his Master of Science in Administration & Supervision degree from St. John’s University, New York. In May 1962 he married Gloria, who sadly predeceased him in 1999 after a lengthy illness throughout which she was lovingly cared for by George at home. In 1968 they moved to Toronto with their family of three girls where they both taught school for 25 years. George notes as his greatest accomplishment: “I raised three nice kids.” His biggest disappointment: “I never got to pitch a major league baseball game.” George will be dearly missed by his childhood friends Peter Drew and Bob Horin. George is predeceased by his parents, his first wife Gloria, and his sister Barbara. A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior, 399 Royal Avenue, Kelowna BC V1Y 5L3. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior, 399 Royal Avenue, Kelowna BC V1Y 5L3. A blood donation in recognition of the many transfusions George received over the course of his illness would be a welcome tribute.

WEST

▼ WFN

Backing for carbon tax rebate bid Westbank First Nation is publicly supporting an effort to repay homeowners a carbon tax rebate they have been denied since 2011. Recently, the Westbank First Nation Advisory Council sent out a form letter to each homeowner on WFN lands calling on the provincial government to immediately repay the homeowners a carbon tax rebate for 2011, 2012 and any future years that a carbon tax rebate is provided. To date, the advisory council has received more than 2,500 signatures on its petition, which was tabled at the March 4 legislature proceedings. “It is unfair to WFN taxpayers to be excluded from this rebate as we pay the carbon tax the same as other residents of B.C.,” said Terry Turcan, WFN Advisory Council chair. Property owners represented by the advisory council residing on WFN lands are within the region designated for the carbon tax rebate; however, they were not provided rebates in 2011 and 2012 and will also not receive a rebate in 2013 or any subsequent years should the program criteria not be changed. “Westbank First Nation strongly supports the efforts of the advisory council and the residents on WFN lands in their efforts to receive this rebate,” said WFN Chief Robert Louie. The WFN Advisory Council consists of five members elected by residents on WFN lands and has been in place since April 1, 2005. It represents taxpayers residing on WFN lands.

Phase three of the Gellatly Rd. upgrade project underway A portion of Gellatly Road, north of Angus Drive, is closed to vehicles as construction begins on the third phase of Gellatly Road upgrades. During the construction, traffic will be detoured using Angus Drive. Large commercial trucks and vehicles towing boat trailers are asked to access the area south of Angus Drive—Cove Resort, Gellatly boat launch, Gellatly Nut Farm, West Kelowna Yacht Club and Willow Beach—using Gellatly Road South via the Highway 97/Glenrosa Road interchange. Council awarded the construction contract to R & L Excavating Ltd. for $2.29 million on March 12. The project will include: Upgrades to the road, concrete curb and gutter, cycling lanes, ornamental street lights, a new retaining wall between the road and exiting waterfront walkway, parallel and angle parking, pathway improvements, pedestrian outlooks, 70 street side trees and benches. The project is expected to be completed by the end of June. For more information about the project, visit districtofwestkelowna.ca.

Green Bay residents seek district’s assistance with dredging project Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The Green Bay Property Owners’ Association was one of eight community groups to speak to West Kelowna council on Tuesday. But unlike the other associations that had several issues in mind, the Green Bay speakers used their entire 15 minutes to speak about one project. Association president Gary Gylytiuk, along with director Jim Tait, asked the district for support in the group’s effort to create a local service area for the purpose of funding a dredging project in Green Bay. Tait, the author of the dredging plan, said the infilling of Green Bay with waterborne sediments from the surrounding uplands is not a naturally occurring development. “It has happened due to many years of neglect in conjunction with an apparent lack of direction and leadership by the authorities who have the mandate to design and implement an effective storm water management program,” said Tait. “Nothing has been done to stop the continuing sedimentation and pollution of Green Bay. “The soil erosion actually worsened when surface drainage improvements were constructed across the Quails’ Gate vineyard lands in 2012.” The association has received approval for the dredging of Green Bay from the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Transport Canada. The project is estimated to cost $360,000. The association has indicated its willingness to pay one-third of the cost, but it’s looking for the district to lobby the provincial and federal

governments to cover the remaining $240,000. “The navigational channel into Green Bay used by boaters during wind or storm events, as well as the new public beach improvement project, require a clear channel year-round,” said Gylytiuk. “The existing environmental situation creates a danger to life and property.” Tait added both local and provincial governments should accept responsibility for removing accumulated pollutants that have flowed across upland developments and into the stream. Coun. Rick de Jong agreed the sediment problem needs to be addressed, but asked if water quality testing had been done to show whether there are actually fertilizers, pesticides and other pollutants in the lake. Tait admitted the pollution claim was an assumption he has made. “I would certainly encourage you, if you start making claims about pollutants in the lake, have your data first,” de Jong said. “Don’t make the claim and then come back and get data to prove your claim, that’s putting the cart before the horse.” Coun. Bryden Winsby agreed with de Jong, but suggested the district look into assisting the associ-

ation with the water quality analysis. “If we’re going to make a case for health and safety being at risk, certainly it has to involve more than boat naviga-

tion,” said Winsby. “If we have the ministry of environment needing convincing, perhaps that’s one way to do it.” District staff took notes of the group’s re-

quests and the issue will likely come back to council in the coming months. Several councillors also agreed to tour the area to get a first-hand look at what needs to be done. Gylytiuk said the next step is to complete a formal survey of the affected property owners. He noted initial conversations with owners in the area has indicated “virtually unanimous support” for the project. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

WESTSIDE ▼ MEXICO VACATION

Reading the car rental insurance fine print—in Spanish I promised, in my last column, to share my experience of being “taken” when renting a car in Mexico where I am holidaying with my family. I’ll start out by complimenting my wife, who I am incredibly grateful to for handling absolutely everything when it comes to travel bookings and arrangements. She is something special. Having worked retail for several years starting at age 15 (my much older readers will remember Woolworths on Kelowna’s Westside), she is retail savvy beyond compare. She also comes up with cool ideas like bringing inflatable pool chairs to an all-inclusive Mexican resort and bringing our own snorkel gear (do it). It was my high level of confidence in my wife that led me to be standing there with my pants around my ankles at a car rental franchise at the beginning of our vacation in

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott Los Cabos. My wife had prebooked the two week rental of a car through a well-respected online travel company. Paying approximately $250 to have a car available during our stay was an expenditure we had discussed, and decided to go with. The thought of driving a pre-arranged vehicle from the airport to the resort (not waiting around for a shuttle) and being able to tootle around as we wished during our stay seemed to make it worthwhile. We start off on the wrong foot with having to take a damned shuttle to the car rental franchise. On arrival, my retail savvy wife goes to get the

keys to our pre-arranged car. Not so fast. There is paperwork to sign and decisions to make about insurance. I am called in because that’s supposedly my area of expertise. My wife hadn’t done the Internet research that would have led her to this handy tip from Trip Advisor: “Making a car rental reservation in advance, using the Iternet or telephone, will inevitably skip over the issue of auto insurance and is never completely included in the rental rate that you are quoted. It can double or triple the quoted daily rate in most cases.” Let’s go with “triple,” and then some. I am what you would call a sophisticated insurance consumer. I know to read the fine print of contracts. I know to ensure I am fully protected so that my Mexican holiday doesn’t result in a financial disaster. Put me in front of a

Mexican rental car clerk whose command of the English language is not much better than my limited command of Spanish—“dos cervezas, por favor”—with forms, some of which are entirely in Spanish, and I’m like a fish out of water. He seemed to get that I wanted the maximum protection, my eyes bugging out of my head as he quoted me figures. In British Columbia, everyone is required to purchase a minimum of $200,000 liability insurance from ICBC, but we always get much more protection than that. This is the insurance that protects you if a crash is your fault and you must provide fair compensation for the injuries and losses of your victims. I wanted at least $1 million liability insurance. The clerk was able, with a significant upgrade, to get me protection up to $1 million, but get this—the “$” was Mexican Pesos making for a rough equivalent of

less than $90,000 in Canadian dollars. After signing a bunch of forms, some entirely in Spanish, explained to me by a Mexican with very broken English, I ended up with horribly unsatisfactory insurance protection, which might be even worse than I understand it to be because of the language barrier, at a cost that added significantly to the cost of our vacation. We could have pulled the plug and not gone ahead with the rental, but having easy vehicle access to such short jaunts as the Chileno Bay and Santa Maria beaches (bring a bag of peas for an insanely fun snorkelling experience) has been wonderful. I would say that I’ve been driving extra careful to ensure I don’t cause a crash and have to call on the inadequate liability insurance coverage but of course that would be ridiculous. We always drive extra careful to prevent death or serious injury to our-

Jim Lind Arena closed for renovations The Jim Lind Arena will be closed for renovations April 1 to Aug. 1 as the District of West Kelowna upgrades the facility. Renovations will include the installation of a new concrete ice floor, new rink boards, new rink glass and new lighting for the arena. The original ice floor was built in 1974 and was expected to last up to 40 years. The floor has had two major leaks in the past seven years, causing service disruptions. The new seamless glass will meet in-

dustry-recommended height standards— the old glass did not. The new lights will reduce energy consumption by 38 per cent. The $1.1-million upgrade to the facility received $250,126 from the federal government under the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund. The last public skate before the renovations will take place is Tuesday, March 26 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. DJ Krucial K “The Flyin’ Hawaiian” will provide music at the event.

A busy student’s guide to finding nutritious eating options Jerique Arqueza CONTRIBUTOR

Every year in March, dietitians promote and

celebrate Nutrition and enjoying meals. Month. As a dietitian-in-trainThe theme this year ing, I know the importis eating healthy by plan- ance of being organized ning, shopping, cooking and having meals planned T:5.694”

home after a long day and then figure out what I can eat for dinner and whether it will be healthy and affordable on a tight student budget! Planning ahead can make things a lot less stressful and it doesn’t have to mean a lot of extra work. The Healthy Families BC website has a meal planning sheet that I use to plan out my meals and create my shopping list for the week. You can find it here. Once I have my list in hand, I go shopping, but I make sure I do not go grocery shopping hungry. I have a snack beforehand so I will not be tempted to stray from my list and buy foods that I do not need. When I go shopping I try to buy most of my

food from the perimeter of the store. This way I spend my time looking at the four food groups of Canada’s Food Guide and fill my basket with fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy and alternatives and whole grains. Sticking to my budget is important. To save money I use coupons and weekly sales flyers to plan meals and I visit the bulk section of the grocery store so I can explore and try small amounts of ingredients without buying entire packages that I may not use up. I also find it easier to stick to my budget if I use cash to pay for my groceries. After shopping comes the cooking and preparation of my meals for the

week. When I find I am eating the same few dishes over and over again, I look for new recipes to try. The Dietitians of Canada website has a link to simple, delicious recipes. I make several portions I can freeze then reheat later in the week when I do not feel like cooking. Sometimes, I will invite friends over for a potluck. We each bring a dish to share and it is a great way to try new foods and save money. Eating healthy can be challenging, but with a little meal planning and smart shopping, it does get easier.

THE ULTIMATE FAMILY PACKAGE

A new addition to the West Kelowna retail landscape enjoyed a positive response to its “soft” opening this week. The ReStore, operated by the Kelowna chapter of the Habitat For Humanity, is now open at Crockford Centre, 1793 Ross Rd. Store manager Neil Smith said the doors were to open at 9 a.m., and a crowd started forming outside the door by 8 a.m. “So many people have told me they have been waiting for a ReStore to open in this area for a long time.” Smith re-

marked. “They’ve shopped at ReStores in other places and are happy that we have opened in the Okanagan.” Shoppers snapped up bargains on building materials, furniture and home improvement items. The proceeds from the ReStore support Habitat for Humanity Kelowna and its mission to build affordable housing. The ReStore is open Tuesday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Donations are also accepted from both businesses and private donors.
