Council puts Hiawatha decision on hold Cougar killed Alistair Waters

She said the company has let the once pleasant park that was filled with seniors go to the point where there was what she described as a “crack house” next door that took four months to be shut down. She said other residents abuse her property and have no regard for her privacy, there is litter everywhere and that has attracted wildlife like racoons, dogs and cats. Pets were once banned from the park but now defecate everywhere and she is scared to talk to her neighbours because

she fears they may retaliate against her if she complains. “I guess renters have more rights than owners,” she told council. Another resident described the park now as a “cesspool.” Temple admitted managing the park has been difficult in recent years and said it is now basically a rental park. The company has bought 76 of the 94 mobile homes in the park. Westcorp wants to redevelop the 18-acre property with 19 buildings, providing a mix of

rental and ownership. It would include townhouses and apartments, as well as an 11-storey boutique hotel. There would be an eight-storey apartment building, “stacked” townhouses and 50,000-square-feet of commercial space. The development would be done in phases and would feature restoration of Wilson Creek along the southern boundary of the property as well as a linear park on its shore. See Hiawatha A7

$35,000, the average the owners paid for the homes is just over $27,000. Still, owners like Richard Grainger said despite the fact his home has been assessed at $60,000, Westcorp is only offering him $25,000. In addition to being unhappy with the offers made to them for their homes, the residents are also angry at the way they say the company has managed the park in recent years. “My life in the park has become a living hell,” said resident Sandra Jones.

been pushed away from their mothers and are out looking for easy prey,” he explained. Normally, cougars are nocturnal hunters, not seen during the daytime, so he wondered if it might even have entered the playground earlier in the day. It would have had to cross busy Highway 97 from the nearest wild area, and it had taken refuge up a big tree adjacent to that busy highway. He advised anyone who sees a cougar not to turn and run because that can make the big predator think you are prey. Instead, appear as large and threatening as possible, while slowly backing away and try to grab a stick. If attacked, fight back, because they’re not used to their prey fighting back, so they might change their minds about the attack. Seitz said there have been a number of incidents and complaints involving cougars this winter, so he feels there must be a burgeoning population of the big cats. Generally, their numbers rise and fall along with those of their favoured prey animals, such as deer.

The sharp eyes of kids playing outside at lunch at the Boys and Girls Club’s Lake Country Daycare in Winfield Wednesday may have saved them from death or injury when they spotted and reported a cougar in a ponderosa pine tree in the playground. Caregivers rounded up the youngsters and got them inside, then called the Conservation Officer Service to deal with the wildcat. Conservation officer Ed Seitz admitted it was a “very scary situation; the worst situation you can imagine.” He figured the noise that the children were making could have attracted the cat, which may have viewed them as prey. It was the second cougar that Seitz had to shoot yesterday. The other was in Oyama and had attacked and killed livestock in a farmyard. (See story on page 8). Seitz said the cougar at the daycare was a juvenile, about two years old, weighing about 40 or 45 pounds. “Typically these juvenile cougars haven’t learned to hunt successfully on their own. They’ve

Kelowna city council has put off a decision on a controversial redevelopment application for the Hiawatha Mobile Home Park in the Mission. After a five-hour public hearing Tuesday night, in which 31 people spoke, some twice, council quickly opted to put off its decision on the proposed rezoning and requested changes to the city’s official community plan until April 8. That will be the next full council meeting. “I have 19 pages of notes. I would like some time to go over them,” said Coun. Gail Given, in support of the unanimous motion to table a decision. The public hearing, which packed council chambers, featured speaker after speaker urging council to hold off on any rezoning until the developer, Edmonton-based Westcorp, presents what they feel is a better relocation plan for the 18 residents who still own mobile homes in the park. Westcorp bought the park in 2008 and has been buying up homes there ever since. But the majority of speakers at the hearing said the amount of money they are being offered for their homes is not nearly enough. While Westcorp’s Gail Temple said the average her company has paid for mobile homes in the park over the years is just under

Inaugural media ‘Roadeo’ raises appreciation for bus drivers Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITALNEWS

PATERSON behind the wheel of a transit bus, gets advice from BC Transit driving instructor Dave Driedger.

Newspaper reporters make excellent bus drivers. I learned this late Tuesday afternoon after BC Transit sent out a press release declaring the winner of the inaugural BC Transit media “roadeo.” Unfortunately, I didn’t take the title—Don Plant of the Daily Courier earned that honour—but I came second, achieving a better score than Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson and a handful of radio hosts and broadcast journalists. Earlier that day, I and eight other contestants faced a daunting fivepart obstacle course at the Cook Road boat launch parking lot. With my driving in-

structor Dave Driedger by my side, I made a hard right turn, drove through a narrow track of tennis balls, made a sharp left turn, parked at a simulated bus stop, backed into a parking stall and then slammed the brakes in an accelerated stop. I may or may not have hit a few pylons along the way. After completing the final obstacle—stopping 12 feet short of my target—I realized I have a new appreciation for bus drivers. Meredith Burton, corporate spokesperson for BC Transit, said the media event was a mixture of fun, awareness and education. “Many people think that driving a bus is a pretty simple job…it’s very complex,” said Burton. “Can you imagine if you had 70 passengers on board, people ringing for

tackle the obstacle course, behind the wheel of a 40foot, $500,000 vehicle. “For the most part, I found the media were more aggressive; the elected officials were very

timid.” Kelowna’s media roadeo was the largest ever hosted by BC Transit. Burton said there is a possibility it could become an annual event.

Water plan wins support

Feds, B.C. pledge millions for intersection

STAFF REPORTER

Local water utilities are hopeful now that all five Kelowna water utilities have endorsed a priority plan for the infrastructure required to improve water quality, that cabinet minister Bill Bennett will agree his conditions have been met for eligibility for financial assistance. As minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, the Kootenay MLA is in a position to waive the requirement that only local governments, not local improvement districts may apply for infrastructure grants from senior governments. Last fall, he agreed that if all five of Kelowna’s major utilities agreed on the priority of all pro-

jects required to bring water quality to Interior Health standards, he would not let the government’s previous policy restricting grants to municipalities and regional districts prevent grants from being awarded to those projects. All five utilities, as part of the Kelowna Joint Water Committee, were already in the process of putting together plans for infrastructure improve-

ments to meet IHA’s requirements, and this week Kelowna council became the last body to endorse that implementation plan. Of the $383 million for 48 projects in total, $8.3 million would be the cost of the first phase— work which would take place in the South East Kelowna Irrigation District, developing a new source of water. SEKID manager Toby Pike said he’s hopeful the minister will accept this plan and its priorities as meeting his request, before the election, in case the same minister is not in that portfolio following the vote. “We all agreed on the plan, and the priorities in it.

ASSISTANT EDITOR

One of Kelowna’s biggest local transportation infrastructure priorities appears ready to be funded. Federal MP Ron Cannan and Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick were scheduled to make a funding announcement Thursday afternoon that is expected to provide money for the long-desired improvement to the intersection of Sexsmith Road and Highway 97. The project, which was one of the top vote-getters on a list of 17 infrastructure priorities presented to the pubic

Norm Letnick by Letnick and fellow local Liberal MLA Steve Thomson in 2011, could see the entire area around the Welcome to Kelowna sign at the north end of the city undergo a major improvement. The intersection has long been a problem area for traffic both from a

safety and vehicle movement point of view. While officials were tight-lipped Wednesday afternoon about what exactly Cannan and Letnick would announced today, Letnick said the desire for improvements to the intersection ranked in the top five of his and Thomson’s priority list for two years in terms of popular support. He added, funding for multi-million dollar improvements to the intersection is something he and Cannan have been working on together for the last two years. In addition, there were also indications yesterday that the project, to be funded by the province

and the federal governments, could be bigger than what was presented to the public in the priority list. The priorities on the MLAs’ list were given to them by local municipalities and other groups like local chambers of commerce. The list, which was distributed to residents in both Letnick and Thomson’s ridings, included capital projects such as the now completed four-laning of Highway 33 in Rutland, a new connector road between Glenmore Road and Highway 97 at UBC Okanagan and development of a new strategic transportation plan for the Valley.

Busking festival being eyed for Kelowna Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

did the mayor, and the two separate conversations found themselves centre stage in this week’s Kelowna city council meeting where the mayor suggested the time to pursue a festival of street performers, or even join forces with the Victoria effort, may have arrived. Mills said she agrees, particularly as the new Bernard Avenue streetscape and patio options should make expand-

ing the Kelowna’s busking program easier; although the idea is still just a thought, with no defined parameters at this point. “There appears to be political support and that’s what you need,” said Mills, noting Festivals Kelowna is already expanding its outdoor programming with six days of Parks Alive! concerts each week in the summer season, in addition to the busker program.

Under the busker program, street performers audition, there are defined busking spots and performers are issued permits to practice their craft. She believes it’s helped change attitudes in a city where just a decade earlier buskers were treated as beggars and one could compile a scrapbook of complaints about the performances. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

The whole process has involved “much navel-gazing” on the part of all the water utilities in Kelowna over the past 15 years or so, commented Pike.

The plan is not the only common ground the committee has found. They are also all on the same page with drought management planning and other initiatives. Gord Ivans, chairman of the KJWC said it was an “innovative and cooperative process to ensure potential local water improvement projects are prioritized to receive

funding grants, standardize service levels between water purveyors and facilitate greater integration of local water systems.” It’s the first agreement of its kinds among B.C. water systems, noted Kelowna city manager Ron Mattiussi. “The objective is to provide the best overall water quality solutions for all Kelowna residents. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Teen killer accused of breaching bail Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR

The teen convicted of killing Ashlee Hyatt is now accused of breaching her bail conditions. It is alleged that the young woman, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, breached a condition to abstain from the con-

sumption or possession of alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription drugs not intended for her. The offence is alleged to have occurred on March 8 in Abbotsford. The young woman made her first court appearance in Kelowna on the charge this week and is expected to return on April 15, the same week

she is to be sentenced for killing Hyatt. Hyatt, 16, died after being wounded in the neck at a June 2010 house party in Peachland. During the trial last year, the court heard the accused, then 16, had been drinking heavily and arguing with a number of girls who said she’d been unfaithful to her boyfriend

prior to Hyatt being fatally wounded. The youth was found guilty of manslaughter in November at the conclusion of the three-week trial. A psychological assessment was requested following the conviction, and will be used to determine whether or not the teen will be sentenced as an adult.

NEWS Okanagan College’s board of governors has approved a $95.5-million operating budget for the coming fiscal year, addressing a $1.6-million shortfall through a number of measures, including a two per cent increase in tuition fees, reduced ex-

penditures and expected increases in enrolment. “We must produce a balanced budget for the institution,” said board chairman Tom Styffe. “That balance extends to what we’ve asked our staff to do and what we are expecting of students.

Our departments have found ways to reduce expenditures and increase revenues through contract training and through enhanced enrolment. At the same time, we’re increasing tuition two per cent.” “This is only the third time in eight years that

we have implemented an across-the-board fee increase,” Styffe noted. “Our goal this year was to avoid program and service cuts and we have achieved this. We want to ensure that we continue to provide access to the quality education that our stu-

dents and communities deserve.” Most institutions in British Columbia have taken the allowable two per cent increases each year since the Province implemented the limit on tuition fee increases in 2005. While tuition has gone up by 6.1 per cent at Okanagan College since 2005, the Consumer Price Index has risen more than 15 per cent. For a full-time student in university arts with a typical course load, the two per cent increase in 2013-14 will amount to $62.79 per year, while a level one automotive painter apprentice will see tuition increase by $7.96.

West Kelowna strips Cycle Logic of licence

IH seeks detox replacement

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

The District of West Kelowna council unanimously opted to cancel Cycle Logic Ltd.’s business licence Tuesday evening. Mayor Doug Findlater said it was the first time West Kelowna has cancelled a business licence due to suspected criminal activity. “This is a very rare occurrence for any municipality,” said Findlater. Sgt. Alex Lynch, in charge of the Kelowna detachment’s street enforce-

ment units, told council RCMP became involved in an investigation of John Edward Newcome and his business, Cycle Logic, in June 2012. “As a result of a complex investigation, in August 2012 search warrants were executed at his business and personal residence,” said Lynch. Police seized over $750,000 worth of stolen goods, including a Mastercraft boat and trailer, a Polaris Racer 570 ATV, a Speedex key cutting machine, a key programmer and a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

“To this day, we continue to investigate items that we did recover from that property. We’ve discovered a complicated web of fraudulent documents,” said Lynch. “The investigation stemmed through the western provinces, resulting in charges against individuals in Alberta as well.” Mounties determined members of the Hells Angels, and associate biker gangs the Throttle Lockers and Kingpin Crew, were implicated in a trafficking scheme operated out of the West Kelowna

motorcycle shop. According to a police report, the shop allegedly took in stolen vehicles, modified vehicle identification numbers and then re-sold them in markets outside of the Okanagan. Newcome was arrested and charged with 15 counts of possession of stolen property over $5,000 and seven counts of trafficking of stolen property over $5,000. Newcome was given an opportunity to speak in his company’s defence at Tuesday’s council meeting; however, he didn’t attend the meeting.

▼ HIAWATHA

Mobile home park residents upset Hiawatha from A1 But it is not just residents of the park who oppose the redevelopment plans. Residents of adjoining properties said they are concerned about increased traffic and access and egress to the new development from nearby residential areas. Temple said the current estimate, which could change based on the market, is that a total of just over 900 units would be built on the property, including the hotel. She said the access would be off Lakeshore Road until at least half

of those units are build. Then, there could be an access at the east side of the property adjacent to the Mission Springs development. A bridge would also built over the creek to Bird Place once 450 units are built. Temple admitted not much has been said about the company’s relocation plan in the last year, but denied that nothing has been said since 2008, a contention of many who spoke at the public hearing. She said in addition to the offers to buy the mobile homes—offers that are the same as those made to people who have

The Interior Health Authority expects to have a new service provider in place when Crossroads treatment facility closes the doors on its detox beds in June. A request for proposals was issued this week for a service provider that could operate 20 intensive residential treatment beds and eight to 12 detox beds. The treatment beds offered are just half of what is currently offered by Crossroads, but all of what IHA funds in this area. “The reduction is responding to the Interior Health funding…Half of the referrals were for people outside Interior Health,” explained Shannon Hopkins, Interior

Health Authority administrator for Community Integrated Health Services. Crossroads offered 38 beds worth of treatment, but only 20 beds were funded by the IHA; the others were used for patients outside the area, meaning service levels in the Okanagan will go unchanged. The health authority held a community engagement day in February to talk to those currently offering substance abuse treatment within the city. The event was well attended. The request for proposals is for withdrawal management, or detox, and intensive residential treatment beds. Both services would otherwise be lost when Crossroads closes its doors. The residential treatment services will end to-

Every year we have to guess how many furnaces to buy to meet the “Emergency Demand.” Of course we’re never exactly right. But this year our forecast was slightly off and now we have additional units in storage in the four most popular styles.

HERE’S HOW YOU BENEFIT FROM OUR PREDICAMENT:

We have worked with our financing partner and put together a plan with a low interest rate and low monthly payments.

“The challenge is to take just 20 minutes of your day and do a little spring cleaning in your neighbourhood or place of business. Pick up trash, sweep a sidewalk, bust graffiti, tackle an illegal dump site, the opportunities to pitch in are endless.” The regional waste reduction office provides free garbage bags and gloves for collecting litter and will also arrange to have the garbage-filled bags picked up and taken to the landfill after your

clean-up is done. Graffiti busting kits are also available for pick up. “Anyone can get involved, from kids to seniors and everyone in between,” said Stewart. “It’s a fun event, and super easy to take part. The 20-minute factor is ideal for business people on a tight schedule, students, neighbours, community groups, and anyone with some extra elbow grease to spare.

A cougar which has been stealing into farmyards in the Oyama area and killing goats and sheep was tracked down by the Conservation Officer Service and shot Wednesday. The first attack was reported March 12, said CO Ed Seitz, so they set up a trap for it, but the cougar refused to be taken in. It killed three sheep and a goat in that attack. They finally removed the trap, and the cougar returned Tuesday, March 26, killing several more goats at the farm. Conservation offi-

cers brought in hounds to track the cougar and it was found within a mile or so of the farmhouse. Seitz said it was a big male cougar, about 120 to 130 pounds, in very good shape, so it’s not clear why it wasn’t doing its hunting in the wild. “He was very brazen,” commented Seitz. Cougar populations must be on the rise, he speculated, because there have been a number of complaints this winter in the Vernon and north of Vernon areas with the big wildcats killing both livestock and dogs.

n the spring of 2010, I was excited to be part of the official opening of our local passport office in the Capri Mall. Hardly a week passes without constituents expressing their appreciation for the convenience of not having to drive to the Lower Mainland to get their passport processed. Well folks, more good news. Starting July 1, 2013 the new 36-page ePassport will become available to all Canadians. Better yet, applicants age 16 and over will have the option of applying for a five-year passport or the long requested 10-year passport. The ePassport will include a digital security feature that is unique to the government of Canada, reducing the risk of tampering and identity fraud and helping border authorities ensure that the passport is authentic. Application requirements will remain the same for the new ePassport but new forms will be available, reflecting the new fee and the five- or 10-year option. Constituents may access the most up-to-date versions of the application forms on the Passport Canada website at www.pptc.gc.ca. The fee for a five-year ePassport will be $120, and the fee for a 10-year ePassport will be $160, less per year of validity than the current non-electronic five-year passport at $87. Always travel with a valid, signed passport. It is the only proof of nationality and identity accepted in all countries. Canadian citizens returning to Canada who present other documents, such as a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship, birth certificate, provincial driver’s license, or foreign passport may face delays or be denied boarding by transport companies.

Ron Cannan Make sure that your passport expiry date is well beyond your return date. Many countries require that your passport be valid for several months after your planned departure date from that country. Consult the travel reports of the countries you will be visiting to confirm their requirements.

‘‘

THE EPASSPORT WILL INCLUDE A DIGITAL SECURITY FEATURE THAT IS UNIQUE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA.

Before travelling, make two photocopies of your passport identification page and leave a copy with a trusted friend or relative who is not travelling with you. Keep the other copy with you when you travel and leave it in a safe place separate from your passport. Keep your passport safe while travelling. Do not leave it unattended in your luggage, vehicle, hotel or elsewhere. Carry it in your money belt, inside coat pocket or purse, or lock it in your hotel safe. Be aware that in some countries, you may have to give your passport to a foreign official or a hotel/ hostel employee. If you don’t get it back in a reasonable time, inform the nearest Government of

Canada office abroad. For those of you who are planning to travel abroad in the near future, it is also advisable that you take the time to look at the Government of Canada’s travel website www.travel.gc.ca. This is an excellent resource that provides advisories and essential information for Canadians travelling or living overseas, including safety and security, local laws and customs, entry requirements, health conditions and more. You are also advised to register with the Registration of Canadians Abroad, a service that will help the government contact and assist you during an emergency in a foreign country. If you experience emergencies abroad, contact the emergency operations centre operated by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, which offers assistance to Canadians 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. You can contact the Emergency Operations Centre at sos@international.gc.ca or by call-

ing 613-996-8885 (call collect where available). TTY services are available by calling 613-9441310 and toll free numbers are available in some countries. A list of available toll free numbers can be found by going to travel.gc.ca and clicking on the request emergency information link. For all your passport needs, please pay a visit to the Kelowna Passport Office, located at Capri Centre, Suite 110, 1835 Gordon Drive. It is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The staff provides prompt and professional service. You can also find passport and travel information at the Passport Canada website at www. pptc.gc.ca or at www.travel.gc.ca. If you have any questions about this information or any other federally-related matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at ron@cannan.ca or by calling 250 470-5075. I wish you all safe and happy travels. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country.

Local MLAs have a friend in MP

hen the federal Conservative Party was looking for a candidate to replace then four-term incumbent Kelowna MP Werner Schmidt in 2005, former city councillor Ron Cannan threw his hat into the ring. So did Norm Letnick. Cannan won the nomination by 55 votes over Letnick and headed to Ottawa after retaining the seat for the Tories in the 2006 federal eletion. Letnick headed to city council before he ran for, and won,

the B.C. Liberal nomination in Kelowna-Lake Country, a victory that propelled him to Victoria as MLA and now B.C. agriculture minister. If the vote totals from their head-to-head Tory nomination battle had been reversed, it may be MP Letnick now out helping MLA Cannan get re-elected. Because that’s what seems to be happening as we close in on the May 14 B.C. election. Every time there’s money to be spent— which during an election seems like every day—

there’s Cannan, standing shoulder to shoulder with Letnick. Both carry cash, and praise the job the other is doing. Now it’s no secret the federal Conservatives are not fans of the NDP. That party is, after all, the official Opposition in Ottawa. And with the B.C. NDP heavily favoured in public opinion polls in B.C., all Liberal MLAs—even ones who have enjoyed the popularity that the three here have— need to be on their toes. But it doesn’t hurt to have the

federal government coming to each and every party the Liberals throw when it comes to pre-election spending announcements. Even when the feds are not involved, like recently when the province re-opened what used to be the Government Agent’s offcie here, there was Cannan. Today we’ll see it again as Ottawa and Victoria pledge milions for a new and improved Sexsmith/Highway 97 intersection. It just shows, it always good to have friends in politics.

Why is B.C. Gov’t leasing jail land?

To the editor: Recent news releases regarding the Okanagan Correctional Center (OCC) leaves a lot of questions unanswered, such as: Is the $5,000 awarded the members of the Osoyoos Indian Band an annual retainer, or a one-time signing bonus? As a long time resident, voter and taxpayer of B.C. I am very concerned that the provincial Liberal government has ventured into yet another land-use agreement without discussing the details with the citizens of the province. The B.C. Liberal government arbitrarily proceeded with the construction of the Kelowna Westside Interchange before securing owner-

ship of the land, and this issue has still not been settled. Why is the B.C. government moving ahead with yet another partnership with First Nations at a time when B.C. aboriginal groups have claims for lands that exceed the province’s total land mass? Why is the government in such a hurry to set yet another irreversible precedent? Why are we building permanent structures on leased land, and who will own this structure? Why does the government not want the security of ownership and access to the land the structure is build on? Why is a 40-year lease (with a

20-year option) for what could and should be considered a ‘permanent’ concrete structure that conceivably could provide services far beyond those years? Should the physical structures have to be removed from this land, who would be responsible for the costs, and where would you take it? What are the financial details of the lease, such as the monthly/annual costs of the lease, compensation and/ or penalties for unscheduled interruptions, not to mention exit costs at the end of the lease? As citizens we own this province. It is our right to be informed of all those details. Andy Thomsen, Summerland

I would like the NDP and the voting public to know the British Columbia Nurses’ Union are not the bad girls/boys of the labour movement. History lesson: Year 2000: LPNs told we must take the pharmacology course—this was not optional. If an LPN did not take the course they would lose their

license to practice. The LPNs job skills were evolving and medication administration was just the start. Year 2004: LPNs wages rolled 15 per cent back because we were members of Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU). The LPNs of this province were outraged.

▼ SIDEWALK PATIOS

Restaurant patios a wily scheme by city To the editor: If I owned a business along Bernard Avenue I would be very wary of the City of Kelowna’s offer as reported in your article of March 26. (Kelowna’s Perky Patio Plan Approved)) For the following reasons: 1. It will cost you over $100 per square foot per year. And that’s only the first year— there’s no guarantee that the city will not raise them in the future. (When have fees not risen or when have fees been lowered?) 2. How are square footages going to be

calculated? Are they going to be from the edge of the road to the business front or what? 3. You will have to pay even if no one uses the patio. Who wants to sit outside when it’s snowing out or there is a howling wind blowing? 4. Are you going to be able to put a canopy over your area? 5. If you do go ahead and put in a fancy patio and you have to go right to the road with whatever design you go with, will you be able to put tables, benches, etc. right to the road edge? I don’t think so. You’d have a bylaw of-

ficer writing out tickets for blocking pedestrian traffic. 6. What kind of design and what kind of materials are going to be used? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also, you will be responsible for any lawsuits for you are the one that put the patio in. All this is, is a blatant ruse from the city to have someone else pick up the cost of re-constructing sidewalks.

▼ EDIT THE WORD

Biblical version of God not at all soft and fuzzy To the editor: Pastor Ed Skutshek (The Heart of Easter, March 21 ad) tells the story of King David and Bathsheba, except, in the way typical of ministers of the church, he only tells part of the story leaving out any bits that show God to be a less than pleasant character. David had seduced Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, one of his trusted generals and then arranged for Uriah to be killed in battle. These days he would probably have been thrown in prison for life but God allowed him to confess his sins and be forgiven. The punishment for the adulterous couple, which Skutshek conveniently neglects to mention, was to kill off the child that resulted from their illegal coupling. (2 Samuel 12:14) How is it that God allowed the pair to avoid being stoned to death, the usual punishment for adultery, (Deut. 22:21-24) while taking out his wrath on an innocent child? Those who have been sufficiently awake

while reading the Old Testament, admittedly not an easy task, will know that God appears to have a particular distaste for children. For example, he sends two bears to tear to shreds 42 children for taunting some old man because of his baldness. (2 Kings 2:23-24). A little harsh, don’t you think? But then God is fond of harsh. Several times he demands the slaughter of entire populations. Not just the men, but the women, (saving any young virgins for yourself!) the children and even the cattle. (1 Sam. 15:3) What the poor animals had done to displease God is anyone’s guess. In some instances children are to have their heads bashed against rocks and the unborn ripped out of their mothers stomachs. (Hosea 13:16). The Conquistadors must have relied on that verse to justify smashing the heads of native children in South America after they first baptized them. Baptism was a thoughtful touch, I suppose. The watching parents would

your wages rolled back. LPNs felt they were not being adequately represented by HEU. HEU referred to LPNs as support workers, not nurses. Yet the word nurse is clearly stated in our title. LPNs in B.C from every health authority started writing letters basking the B.C. Nurses’ nUnion (BCNU) to come for us. This was not an 5overnight venture, it has -taken the LPNs eight long nyears to move unions. e Now the LPNs are —in the BCNU, but we -are stuck in the Facility eBargaining Association with HEU until Bill 18 is passed into law. 1

The LPNs should be in the Nurses Bargaining Association, we are nurses in every sense of the word. Not a secret: HEU strongly supports the NDP, therefore the NDP supports HEU. Note to NDP: You have lost my vote and I hope thousands of votes for your opposition to Bill 18. NDP, before you jump on a union’s band wagon, take note of what an LPN does daily: Administer medications, dressing change, vital signs, head to toe assessment, educate patients in regards to their medications and/or treatment, just to mention a few. Does that not sound like a nurse?

Opposition to this bill is ridiculous! Bill 18 should become law ASAP. It is the right thing to do, to finally recognize the LPNs of this province as nurses. We have had a long and difficult fight to get to where we are. LPNs: We have almost reached the goal, we are in BCNU but we need to legally be proclaimed as nurses by Bill 18 so that we can move to the Nurses Bargaining Association. I respectfully request all LPNs and voting public to please call your legislators to have Bill 18 become law. From anywhere outside Metro Vancouver or

NEWS ▼ ILLNESS

Brain has the ability to help cure ailments

adly, millions of people suffer from seemingly mysterious chronic conditions that doctors and scientists have not been able to completely explain or treat. For many, unknowingly, they have suffered from a toxicant injury from chemicals, bacteria, viruses and/or psychological or emotional stress. This can result in brain trauma, resulting in over-activation of threat, survival and protective mechanisms within the deep limbic system circuits in the brain that can initiate a multiple system breakdown in the body. The brain gets stuck in an unconscious state of chronic “emergency” that perpetuates illness and inflammation. This often involves the central nervous system, musculoskeletal system, respiratory, immune, digestive, and endocrine systems.

EMOTIONAL RESCUE

Annie Hopper This “high alert” state can also result in altered sensory perception and related sensitivities (smell, taste, touch, hearing, sound), as well as pain perception. Energy that was formerly used in functions related to rest, digestion, detoxification, communication and regeneration are now redirected to one thing only—survival. Normally high functioning and healthy individuals become a shadow of their former self. This literally robs them of their ability to function in the world. For some, it can cause them to lose their jobs, homes and in extreme cases live a life of isola-

tion and pain. This is often the case in conditions such as chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, electric hypersensitivity syndrome, gulf war syndrome, food sensitivities, and anxiety disorders. The good news is that the brain is both adaptive and regenerative and we can use this principle to work in our favour. When we understand that the brain has maladapted to trauma, we can then learn how to normalize the over-activated threat mechanisms within the deep limbic brain circuits. This allows the systems of the body to return to normal function once again. Take Dr. Judy McCarver as an example. She suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome and severe multiple chemical sensitivities for 21 years after being exposed to new building materials and pesticides.

She went from specialist to specialist, seeking answers and relief from her symptoms to no avail. No one connected the dots that it may be her house that was making her sick. As the illness progressed, the sensitivities also spread to most foods. She suffered another toxic exposure during a second renovation that threw her over the edge. McCarver’s condition eventually became so severe that she had to quit her job, move out of her house and could not find anywhere to comfortably live. In time she made her way to Dallas Texas, to undergo extensive and expensive detoxification treatments. Then McCarver found out about Kevin who had suffered just like she was – except that Kevin was now totally recovered. After McCarver talked to Kevin, she was

determined to attend our next program—in Canada, 1600 miles away from where she lived. She didn’t care how far away it was, she was determined to get better the sooner, the better. The dynamic neural retraining system program made a lot of sense to this Santa Fe psychiatrist. With a background in neurology and a personal experience of the suffering and recovery, McCarver states “the limbic system is sensitive to trauma and we have suffered from injury to the limbic system in the brain and this program is the appropriate treatment. It’s the best treatment. It works” McCarver is now back at work, living in her house and leading a happy, healthy and vibrant life. Annie Hopper is a limbic system rehabilitation specialist. www.dnrsystem.com

Tips on what to trim now that the days are getting warmer

ith sunny warm days this Easter weekend, it will be a delight to spend some time working in the garden. I’m often asked how to decide which perennials, and ornamental grasses to cut back, so here are some tips. Winter frost kills most perennials back to the roots. All of these plants can be cut back to the ground. If there is no sign of re-growth, I leave one inch of stems to remind me so I don’t accidentally dig to plant something in the empty space. Some plants, like

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele chrysanthemums, have green leaves at their base year round. Just remove last year’s dead growth. Leave evergreen, early spring ground covers like perennial candytuft (iberis), creeping phlox, and golden alyssum until after they bloom, then cut them back to form tidy plants, encouraging compact new growth.

Plants such as coral bells stay semi-evergreen. In spring they look scruffy. You can give them a high, rounded haircut, but avoid cutting into the crown centre. To save work, I just let the new leaves grow in, hiding the old as they decompose into the soil. Ornamental grasses may be cut back at any time after frost. In fall, I cut back those that have flopped over. In spring, the others get cut down to about three inches above the ground before the new green shoots get that tall. For the early grow-

ing, early blooming grasses such as feather reed grass (calamagrostis Karl Foerster), this will be early March. If you haven’t cut them yet, cut higher above the new growth. Blue oat grass (helictotrichon sempervirens) and blue fescue should be given a rounded haircut. They both keep their blue colour so if you haven’t cut them back, just comb out the dead pieces this year and plan to trim them early, next spring. The fall blooming grasses such as the miscanthus species begin to grow in early April so now is the time to cut

them down. This is the only maintenance needed for ornamental grasses. To learn more, come to my class called Easy

on Thursday, April 11. It’s an introduction to the beauty and benefits of ornamental grasses. They have a long season of interest, and are generally deer-proof. I am also teaching Creating a Water-Wise Perennial Garden on Thursday, April 4 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. This lass will include selecting suitable perennials to create four season colour and interest; tips on bed location, size, shape; maintenance and soil preparation. Both classes include many photos. They are from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Okanagan Mission

WHO DOESN’T LIKE A LITTLE BLING? OTS, COLOUR BLOCKED HEELS, ANKLE BO

By Taylor Bayne, Contributor The season of showing a little skin is approaching at a rapid pace here in Kelowna and I can’t wait to share what I’ll be completing my outfits with. Now this is a tricky topic to share because there are so many accessories to choose from, it is just a matter of finding ones that you like!

A lot of my outfits in the summer consist of basic maxi dresses, flowy floral blouses with high waist shorts and my golf outfit. I promise I’m not always dressed up! I love my jean shorts and simple tanks when I’m feeling casual. When purchasing my accessories, I think of what

TOTE BAGS, CROSS B ODY BAGS, TRANSLUCENT BAGS will go with what. I’m a planner at heart, so I have to make sure I’ve got an outfit to pair with whatever I’m buying. I love to support local, do not get me wrong, but The Bay is the best place to get accessories for a cheap price. They carry lines such as Express, which always plays with bright colours that draw me in. For Spring 2013, there are a few that jumped out at me. Some of my favourites include: ankle boots, colour blocked heels, the tote bag, cross body bags,

translucent bags and shoes, and the colour red. For the ankle boot, this is more of a transition shoe into summer, but easily worn with a long cotton grey maxi skirt, a jean jacket and a loose white tank tucked in. You can spice up this outfit with a bright statement necklace that will make you pop! With my Vegas birthday trip coming up quickly, I can’t wait to find a pair of col-

The tote has to be my favourite one of all. A great tote is good for all seasons, and all occasions. The structured bag makes any outfit look classy and clean. I was recently shopping in Bella on Pandosy; there they had a camel brown tote that stole my heart. It is a great travel bag as well because it’s easy to find things at the very bottom!

You just can’t go wrong with a cross body saddle bag. These are perfect for a night out on the town or a shopping day with your girlfriends. It is easy to throw on and just forget about it until the credit card comes in. A longer strap that lets the bag sit right below your hip is the perfect length for me. I usually look for a smaller bag to just fit all of my essentials. The next trend will be tough for me. My purse tends to get eclectic and messy to say the least. Translucent bags are the new wow factor in the fashion world right now. The style and creative director at Elle Magazine Joe Zee said this trend will keep us neat and organized when it comes to our purses. Maybe I need this trend strictly for practice? Lastly, the colour of love, sex and envy. RED!

This colour can be dressed up or down, toned up and toned down or simply made as a statement. I see a lot of red lips around town and I love it! Another popular usage of the colour is in a heel. It will jazz up any outfit whether it’s a red sandal with a

long maxi, or a red pump with a fabulous dress. Use this colour as your statement and you’re laughing!

HAPPY ACCESSORIZING!

JUNO pending, Yukon Blonde explore their darker side Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Are they really still from Kelowna? Well, the Yukon Blonde band members seem to see it that way and, as evidence, they’re making this city one of their last stops before JUNO week, where they just might pick up their inaugural award. Tapped in the Breakthrough Group of the Year category, and generally labelled Vancouverite fodder, lead singer and songwriter Jeff Innes figures their roar is still big enough to claim Kelowna as a hometown crowd, even from 350 kilometres away. Their last album, after all, is called Tiger Talk and they’re currently of no fixed address anyway. “We gave up our places in Vancouver because we’ve been touring constantly, so we didn’t really need a house,” said Innes. The release of Tiger Talk, on March 20 of last year, prompted a year and a half of touring, apparently culminating for Innes in a marathon winter of video games with his brother in their parents’ Peachland home. The band is now mak-

VANESSA HEINS/CONTRIBUTOR

JEFF INNES, flanked by coreYukon Blonde band members Brandon Scott (right) and Graham Jones (left), play Flashbacks nightclub on April 11, a spot where Innes spent his 19th birthday. ing a serious play for the Canadian music scene’s inner circle with the JUNO nomination for next month’s awards and Innes said he used his time in the Okanagan to start crafting their next foray in that scene. Their current album is a record for fans and certainly material that struck a chord with a generation of happy-go-lucky music lovers. “We just wanted to make a record you could dance to that really feels good live,” he explained. The next one will be something entirely dif-

ferent, a record the band members want to throw on and listen to again and again, perhaps a little darker, more complex. The real decision-making on the material will have to play out at a later date, though anyone who has ever enjoyed a long sojourn with video games in the parents’ basement knows, productivity does tend to lapse as time moves forward and Innes freely admits the groove he got into wasn’t exactly a musical one. In the meantime, he’s contemplating the upcoming JUNO parties,

hammering through a Western Canadian tour, and coming to terms with what it will be like to compete against good friends. Case in point, Hey Ocean! are nominated in the same category as Yukon Blonde. Then again, so is Walk off the Earth, a crew they’ve never met, and he admits there has been a little time dedicated to scoping out the competition of late. Walk off the Earth does seem to be a breakthrough group that came out of nowhere in 2012. The band followed Glass

Tiger at Rock the Peach in Penticton last year and blew the audience out of the water, though they garnered very little press attention in the lead up to the event. They must have been doing the same across the country, for that band currently has 696,704 likes on their Facebook Page. Yukon Blonde has 10,512. As for Hey Ocean!, Innes knows they’re also one band who knows a thing or two about blowing audiences out of the water, or at least entertaining them in it. As anyone who attended Kelowna’s Keloha Festival might have seen, Hey Ocean! filled Tugboat Bay with swimming and wading concert-goers thrilled by trills of their flautist. The outdoor festival crowds are where it’s at for Yukon Blonde as well,

ces to seniors in the West Kelowna and Peachland areas. They have wonderful clients and a warm and friendly environment where volunteers can make a difference in a senior’s life each time— every time. The society offer flexible schedules to suit volunteer needs. Whether you’re interested in once a week, or once a

month commitment they want to hear from you. Another option is an activity and visiting volunteer. Highlands Retirement Residence writes: “We would like to enhance the lives of our seniors with volunteer support forming an essential part of our community.” The volunteers would participate in activities such as playing board games, crafts, simple woodworking, walks, reminiscing, music, singing and pet therapy. What-

ever your interests, share them with a senior. Volunteers should be comfortable working independently in a setting with different stages of dementia.

our years ago, Hasbro and Paramount Pictures produced G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, hoping to capitalize on the success of Transformers. Even though critics were not fans, it was a moderate success grossing $300 million worldwide.

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis With G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the producers hope to better the original not just at the box office, but with critics as well. To accomplish this, they not only brought back Channing Tatum, but have added Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis to the cast. As well, they hired the screenwriters of Zombieland to pen

the script and brought in a new director. According to early reviews, the filmmakers succeeded in making a better film, a fun action movie as long as you do not take it too seriously. In Retaliation, the G.I. Joe team is framed for crimes against the country, and is terminated on the President’s order (however, the president is an impostor) and the surviving team members must go up against the evil forces pulling the strings of their government and other world leaders. It will be interesting to see if author Stephenie Meyer can strike movie gold a second time. She is best known for creating the Twilight phenomenon and her follow-up novel, The Host, has been a number one best seller. The Host is now being released as a movie with Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones, Hanna) in the lead role.

Unlike Twilight, which had supernatural creatures like vampires and werewolves, The Host has alien invaders which inhabit human hosts. Like Twilight, there is a love triangle but with a different twist. Ronan plays Melanie, a young woman who is one of the very few humans left on Earth who does not have an alien soul possessing them. When the aliens take over a human body, they suppress the human’s consciousness. When Melanie is captured by the aliens who are determined to eradicate the last of the free humans, she is implanted with the soul of an alien named Wanderer. However, Melanie’s will is strong and she is able to communicate with Wanderer and together they search for the rest of the surviving humans. With two distinct personalities inhabiting the young woman’s body, can the free humans trust her?

Although The Host is clearly being marketed to the Twilight and Hunger Games crowd, it might have a chance to appeal to a wider audience as it is adapted and directed by Andrew Niccol, who created the brilliant Gattaca and the not quite classic but still enjoyable In Time. If The Host is a successful movie, sequels are inevitable as Meyer is already planning two more novels. And Spring Breakers opens at the Grand 10 this weekend. Ex-Disney Channel stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens star in a very adult story of young women who can’t afford to go on a spring break vacation, so they decide to execute a violent robbery to get the money. James Franco also stars. Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8. landmarkwk_gm @landmarkcinemas.ca

Life breathed back into G.I. Joe F

vice Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is the only hope for the president, his son and a nation under siege and in danger of total annihilation. Some scenes were hard to watch personally, as I was standing outside the Pentagon only three weeks prior to 9/11 and have worked in Washington and have visited many times. This film cost over $70 million to make and includes a number of recognizable cast members: Ashley Judd, has a brief role as the First Lady; Aaron Eckhart is President Ben Asher; Dylan McDermott is Agent Forbes; Morgan Freeman, is Speaker Trumbull and Angela Bassett is Secret Service Director Lynn Jacobs. Likely the most physically abused (but left alive) was Melissa Leo as Secretary of Defence, Ruth McMillan, who gives us a great line during her own terror: “How’s my hair?” It was Gerard Butler who found the film for director Antoine Fuqua, who also directed Arrested Development. Apparently it was so hot during the filming of some White House scenes shot in Louisiana that the dogs used as K-9 watch dogs had to be in air conditioned premises between shots. Also during the film-

ing, Morgan Freeman had his own drama as his Internet death hoax played out while he was on location (this has actually happened to a few other wellknown actors). I was personally pleased that while this film had at least 14 shots of Old Glory and numerous “God Bless America” lines, the writers did actually refer to the burning of the White House by the British during the War of 1812—a fact not known by mainstream Americans. This is a good film to watch, it’s action packed and will appeal to a variety of theatre goers, and although there are scenes that are tough to watch with much violence (likely the majority of the budget was spent on ammunition—it sure wasn’t spent on bullet-proof vests for the Secret Service), it never lags. In its first week at the box office, Olympus brought in $28 million, while the cartoon Croods came in No. 1 with a take of $43 million. Olympus Has Fallen will do well—it’s watchable and while there are few moments of levity, it’s worth the money. Olympus Has Fallen gets four reels.

Liz Wylie Saturday, March 30, at the Kelowna Art Gallery, is a 10-year survey show of works by this senior Canadian painter, organized in partnership with the Nickle Galleries at the University of Calgary. Rodgers has produced seven series of works since the beginning of this millennium. A large segment of his practice has a regional history focus running through it, and much of it will spark an interest in Kelowna audiences. For example, two series involve motorcycle racing (and motorcycles are popular here, though more Harleys than Hondas) and one deals with the failed Utopian ideals of the cultures that settled Canada during pioneer days. There is a series of paintings about the corporate colours for the Bay (the distinctive blue-redgreen-yellow bands on a white background— so familiar and recognizable) and a series of vintage book covers painted in high realism, which is both startling and memorable. It all takes some wading through, so viewers may want to make repeat visits to this show. All in all, there will be over 40 works of art in-

One of Rodgers’ enduring interests since the 1990s has been the palimpsest. Simply put, this means a surface that has been scraped away so that another text or image may be created on the same material. This practice began in the middle ages to save on vellum, and in monastery libraries sometimes classical texts would be erased to make way for Christian ones. There are examples of palimpsests in the field of contemporary art (the famous erasing of the de Kooning drawing by artist Robert Rauschenberg might come to mind), and the term has been used by cultural theorists in other applications as well. We might consider the human creation of the city, for example, which can be seen as layer after layer of one cultural group building over

the creations of the past ones. Even our own personal memories’ of cities in which we have lived can function in this way, where we might find ourselves on a street corner, for example, remembering vividly the building that used to be there but has been replaced by a new one. In Rodgers’ hands, the notion of the palimpsest has allowed him to cannibalize old work and reuse the same canvases for new paintings, as well as take apart art books, in some cases, and scrape off the text and image, then superimpose his own. Rodgers has spent his entire life and career in Calgary, except for brief visits for study or work in other centres, and trips abroad (for example, to Chicago, New York, Paris and Dublin). He ended up teaching for 30 years at the same place he himself

Frey fine-tunes his bantam draft list candidates Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Each and every spring at this time, Lorne Frey embarks on his busiest and most important stretch of the junior hockey season. Over the next five weeks, the Kelowna Rockets’ assistant GM and director of player personnel will make stops in four provinces for one last perusal of the best bantam-aged talent Western Canada has to offer. It’s the last chance for Frey and his assistants to fine-tune their list

Lorne Frey of 1998-born prospects for the Western Hockey League bantam draft May 2 in Calgary. “You get to see all the best players playing against each other, play-

ing against their peers,” said Frey. “It’s a chance to refresh our memories, so the timing of these tournaments is great, we’re lucky to have them. “You get a better indication of who rises to the top, and it helps us distinguish where certain players fit in,” Frey added. “Now we have to make up our minds and take what we know to the draft.” Starting this weekend in Manitoba, each of the Western provinces will host their annual showcase tournaments, which feature 160 of the top bantam prospects from each

province. Mixed in on Frey’s five-week journey is a stop in Kindersley, Sask., for the Western Canadian Bantam Hockey Championship. At this spring’s draft, the Rockets will choose 21st overall in the first round, the latest pick in franchise history. Still, as past drafts have proven, there is still plenty talent available beyond the middle of the first round. The Rockets grabbed Luke Schenn with the 20th pick in 2004, then a year later took Tyler My-

ers in the 19th spot. Kelowna’s top rookie this season, Rourke Chartier, was a 16th overall choice. “You don’t get a crack at the top guys, but sometimes it makes things a little easier picking late because it condenses your list,” said Frey. “Sometimes you get a little lucky, we have before, so you hope you can find a player of that calibre again. You just have to try and make the best of it and have a little luck, too.” The Vancouver Giants have the first choice in the draft and are expected

Kevlar third at Super Series tourney

The Kelowna Volleyball Club’s U17 boys teams had a solid weekend of matches, finishing third out of 20 teams at the Walnut Grove Super Series tournament. The Kelowna Kevlar, coached by Paul Thiessen and Norm Hanson, defeated a U18 Victoria squad 23-25, 25-23, 15-8 in the third-place game. One of the highlights for the Kevlar was a victory over the KVC U18 team in the quarterfinals, 18-25, 25-15, 16-14.

In the semis, the U17s lost to the undefeated U18 Eagles. After losing three matches on opening day, Kevlar recovered nicely on Day 2 with three wins in four matches. “The setting of Reid Lobson was a big reason for our improved performance. Power hitters Isaac Smit and Devon Cote provided a great one two punch from the left side,” said coach Paul Thiessen. “Middle blockers

Cole Hanson and Adam Kern put up some amazing monster blocks at critical times during our close matches. Jory Dickie and Joel McLellan were solid as defensive specialist in all our matches and gave us great back court coverage. “Rounding out the line up was Liam Duncan who was a steady force both blocking and hitting from right side. Carter Stelter came into the matches and brought some much needed speed into our middle

attack,” Thiessen said. The KVC Kevlar, with two strong tournaments in a row, is now the topranked U17 team in the province.

U15 KRUISERS WIN

Rob and Irene Smith’s KVC U15 Kruisers have put together a solid spring of volleyball. The Kelowna team is coming off a big win at the Okanagan Super Series tournament last weekend. The Kruisers de-

feated Prince George in the quarterfinals, the Vancouver Sting Cobras in the semis and the NVC Mariners from Nanaimo in the final. On March 9 and 10, the U15 Kruisers placed fourth out of 41 teams at a Super Series tournament on the Lower Mainland. Kelowna, ranked 13th going into the tournament, played the No. 1 seeded BCO team twice and was competitive in both matches, losing 27-25, 2523 and 25-23, and 25-13.

Okanagan Gymnastics Centre athletes took multiple trips to the medal podium at the B.C. trampoline and tumbling championships March 15 to 17 in Kamloops. The competition also served as the final trials for the national championships. At provincials, Jordan Macdonald and Jaylin Otteson won the 10 and Under Synchronized Trampoline event. In the individual Trampoline 10 and Under category, Jessi Cleverley finished in first place on trampoline and double mini for the second competition in a row.

Jaylin Otteson finished with silver medals on trampoline and double mini in the same category for the second time in a row. Jaryn Cleverley and Jessi Clevereley finished in third place in the Women’s Provincial 1 Synchronized Trampoline. Jordyn Yendley finished in second place in the Provincial 3 Trampoline while Abby McDonald finished with a bronze medal. Emily Welsh is a double provincial champion in the Women’s Provincial 3 Double Mini Trampoline and in the

Provincial 4 Trampoline event. In the men’s division, Andrew Oliver finished with a bronze medal on double mini trampoline in the Men’s Provincial 3 event. In the national stream of competition, Sarah Croteau finished on top of the National Under 18 category on double mini trampoline. Cami Hill finished in second place in the National Under 18 Trampoline event. Croteau and Hill teamed up to win the Women’s National Under 18 Synchronized Trampoline event.

Adele Lefevre competed in the National Espoir category and finished with a silver medal on trampoline and a bronze medal on double mini trampoline. Mona Weiler finished with a bronze medal on trampoline in the National Espoir category. In the Women’s Junior category, Emma Tucker won gold, Rachel Stone finished in second and Danielle Gruber finished in third place on double mini trampoline. While in the trampoline event, Danielle Gruber finished on top, Emma Tucker finished in second place and Rachel Stone finished

with the bronze. Trevor Stirling was the silver medal winner in the Men’s Junior Trampoline. Samantha Smith won the Women’s Senior Trampoline event. Curtis Gerein won the Men’s Senior trampoline event and Tyler Vermeulen finished in second place. Vermeulen finished in third place as a Junior in the Tumbling event as OGC’s only tumbler. In the Senior Men’s Synchronized Trampoline event, Curtis Gerein and Trevor Stirling won the gold. Luke Friesen won the Men’s Senior Double Mini event.

Schedule for 2013 favours Sun schedule released this week by the BCFC, the Sun will also play the Vancouver Island Raiders twice, and the BCFC champion Langley Rams and Westshore Rebels once each. “For one thing it helps financially, because those two places, Kamloops and Chilliwack, are our quickest trips and we’ll be able to save a little on travel,” said Sun GM Jay

Christensen. “For another thing, we have a new coaching staff, it will given them some time to make personnel decisions, and it should give our team more time to gel. “Personally, I prefer a balanced schedule, but I tend to look at the positives and there certainly are some with this schedule.” Okanagan opens the season Saturday, July 27

at home at the Huskers. The Raiders will visit the following weekend on Saturday, Aug. 3. Last season, in an unbalanced schedule, the Sun faced the Raiders and Rams three times each and lost every game. Their three victories came over Kamloops (twice) and Chilliwack.

BETUZZI, CHARLES WILLIAM It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother and uncle Chuck (Charlie) Betuzzi on March 17, 2013 at Lakeview Lodge in West Kelowna, BC. He was predeceased by his brother John (Emma) Betuzzi, and sisters Mary (Kay) Ongaro, Gene (Rigo) Biollo and Polly (Lacey) Fisher. He is dearly remembered by his wife Merrie Betuzzi, his children Gail (Terry) Willner, Mark (Jennifer) Betuzzi, Larry (Vera) Betuzzi, Jane (Gerry) Kyle, Connie (Bill) Osborne, Kevin (Fay) Betuzzi, Anne (Rob) Boyd, Chris (Suzanne) Betuzzi, Dana (Len) Kruiper, Tim (Cecile) Betuzzi, Paula (Michael) Betuzzi. He was the proud grandfather to twenty-three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He is survived by his sister Anna (Doug) Grant of Mount Vernon, WA and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was born in Summerland, BC on February 7, 1921. He lived there until the mid 1950’s, playing trumpet for the Penticton Marching Band, helping his dad in the orchard, and attending school in Summerland. During World War II he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, spending most of the time in Vulcan, AB as a flying officer. Returning to Summerland he again worked in the family orchard, and played in the Summerland Marching Band. Soon after returning from the air force he married Merrie. This past September they celebrated their 65th anniversary. In the mid fifties Chuck bought land in Lakeview Heights, planted an orchard and built a house, raising his family, working the orchard and usually having another job as well, such as working on the ferry or for the “roads” or driving a school bus. He grew a large garden and participated in hunting and fishing, to supply his family with food. Our Lady of Lourdes Church in West Kelowna was a big part of his life. He was an active participant in the Knights of Columbus and helping with all the church activities. He also helped the West Kelowna Food Bank for many years. Dad spent many years as a volunteer fireman in Lakeview Heights. Chuck and Merrie lived in their home in Lakeview Heights until 2010. They then moved to Westwood in West Kelowna and only recently moved to Lakeview Lodge. The family would like to extend thanks to both places for the wonderful care given. Also thanks to Bayshore for the wonderful care aids that were sent to assist and be companions to Merrie and Chuck. His many friends and relatives are invited to prayers on Monday, April 1, 2013 at 7:00 pm and a funeral mass at 11:00 am on Tuesday, April 2, 2013. Both will be held at Our Lady of Lourdes, 2547 Hebert Road, West Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Chuck’s memory to Development and Peace, 1425 René-Lévesque Blvd West, 3rd Floor, Montreal, QC H3G 1T7. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Volunteers

A single unspayed cat can produce 470,000 offspring in just seven years. Sadly, most of them end up abandoned at BC SPCA shelters or condemned to a grim life on the streets. Be responsible - don’t litter.

Interior Health Residential Services is looking for volunteers. Volunteers assist in many ways: • assisting with programs • visiting with individual residents • outings. If you have a couple of hours to spare every week, consider volunteering with us!

Cancer survivor prepares for Across the Lake fundraiser Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Growing up in West Kelowna, Jane (Kneller) Richardson crossed Okanagan Lake many times. This summer she will cross the lake again, but for the first time in her life, she’ll do it without the assistance of a car or boat. “I’ve swam in the lake, but I’ve never swam across it before. The idea intrigues me,” said Richardson. Richardson was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, 2012. After going through a couple of surgeries and chemotherapy, she began swimming. She’d always enjoyed her time in the pool and knew it would be a good way to recuperate. At first she could only do eight lengths of the pool, now she can do 80. “It was a slow start. I could only go swimming

about once a week and I was only walking about two kilometres per day. “I’m up to walking six or seven kilometres about three times a week and 80 lengths in the pool once or twice a week.” A fitness trainer friend of Richardson’s challenged her to consider entering the Interior Savings Across the Lake Swim July 20 after hearing about her progress. “I thought: That sounds like a pretty good idea.” She will take part in the swim as a fundraiser for the McMurtry-Baerg Cancer Centre, a privately run facility that is housed in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. She will also raise money for the Loralei Comfort Fund, which provides assistance to cancer patients whose financial barriers create hardship in terms of dealing with diagnosis and treatment.

“This is my way of getting better and giving back.” Richardson, who currently lives in Armstrong, said she has plenty of family members who will be wearing pink to support her when she swims in the lake this summer. She’s also working on acquiring a flaming pink swim suit to help her stand out in the water. “I have been in to see my family physician to make sure that I am physically healthy enough to do the swim—that, of course, was a concern for (organizers). “I don’t foresee any problems at this point.” Richardson said raising money is just one of the reasons she’s taking on the challenge. “I want to be able to show other breast can-

Learning to communicate the message that one crash is too many

y daughter, Cassidy, is in Grade 6. She had a spring break school project to write a speech. My memory of school work around that time of my scholastic development is more along the lines of using pencil crayons to colour maps. There’s no way my Grade 6 self would have been writing and delivering speeches. At my wife’s urging, she chose my One Crash is Too Many awareness campaign as her speech topic. I live and breathe this stuff, but my 11-yearold daughter needed to get up to speed. She has been in and around it, but

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott in order to write about something you have to really understand it. We gave her the link to the campaign website, onecrashistoomany.com, and gave her some other materials to read, but interviewing me was a key feature of her research. She had lots and lots of questions. I faced a lot more “why?” and “I don’t

get it” than I expected. For my 11-year-old to get to a place of sufficient understanding to write about it, I had to get to a place of being able to effectively communicate it. One of the key awareness points of the campaign is the significance of car crash injuries. Victims regularly walk away from crashes with no visible injuries. In fact, the victims themselves regularly feel no symptoms at all at the crash scene. It’s not until later that day or evening when damaged tissues start tightening up and become inflamed, and it’s often not until the next morning

when you wake up hardly able to move. It’s often not until months or years later when a permanent prognosis of what the victim will have to endure for the rest of his or her life can be given with any reliability by a medical specialist. Emergency services have only what they see at the crash scene to work with when questioned by the media about crash injuries. They report to the media again and again that there are no injuries, or that any injuries are “minor.” The media passes that message on to the driving public again and again.

Yes, from time to time there will be extremely violent head-on crashes putting victims in critical condition or resulting in deaths, just like from time to time we hear about other freak occurrences. The loud and clear message to the driving public is that the most serious consequence of the day to day car crash is the deductible you have to pay to get your car repaired. I found myself struggling to explain to Cassidy the concept of how someone can suffer what turns out to be a very serious injury, with very little or zero indication of injury at the time it is sus-

tained. Our spring break sunsoaked Mexican holiday provided an excellent analogy that Cassidy easily understood. It’s like a sunburn. Yes, as careful as we tried to be, there was a sunburn or two. As you splash and play in the pool, unprotected skin is burning. You, and those around you, have absolutely no awareness of the damage as it occurs. If you could feel the tissues burning, you would immediately apply sun screen or cover up. You can’t feel it. It’s not until that evening when those around you start commenting on how red your back is.

It’s not until you step into the shower the next morning and scream out in pain that the full extent of your burn is apparent. Please think of that analogy the next time you hear about a report of no injuries or minor injuries in a media report about a car crash, and please forward a copy of this column to the reporter. 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.

▼ MP’S REPORT

MP praises the federal budget

f there is one thing I have learned in public office, both during my time at [Penticton] city hall and now as a Member of Parliament, it’s that you will hear from critics and those who disagree with government policies and direction far more frequently than from those who support them. However, when reading the comments and reactions to the government’s Economic Action Plan for 2013 announced last week, I was pleasantly surprised to hear from more than 30 different national organizations, all expressing support for measures contained with the plan. Critics have, in the past, suggested that plan’s budgets are too comprehensive and should be simplified. But when I reviewed the comments in support of the plan, from such a diverse list of national organizations, there is recognition that the need to take action in a broadly based manner is clearly an important one. That is not to suggest there are none who are opposed. Healthy democratic societies will always have disagreement in debate and it’s important to hear from all sides. Some of the measures in the federal budget do address some concerns that were raised in previous budgets. For example, it was pointed out last year that funeral and burial benefits for Canadian veterans needed updating and improvement. In the plan, in response to these concerns, the program has been simplified and the funeral service reimbursement rate has been doubled up to $7,376. This in turn prompted the Royal Canadian Legion to says its letter writing campaign is clearly working “as we now have an increase in the funding for funeral costs and removal of restrictions around their use”. This is one of the 34 comments I read recently in response to the budget and demonstrates

Dan Albas the importance of government listening to the concerns of citizens and taking action. In addition, I have also read positive comments from the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, The Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation, the Canadian Federation of Small Business, CGA Association of Canada, Canadian Restaurant and Food-services Association, Canadian Home Builders Association, BMO Financial Group, Aerospace Industries of Canada, Funeral Service Association of Canada, Canadian Paralympics Committee, Habitat for Humanity and even popular TV Home renovations host Mike Holmes. This is just a random sampling of the diverse organizations that have identified measures in the 2013 Economic Action Plan that will be helpful to Canadians. By the numbers, Canada remains in a position to balance the budget by 2015-16 – this is in large part due to lower government operational spending, reduced by a further $2 billion over the next two years and a strong national economy with a diversified, comprehensive and strategic approach towards job creation. Today there are 950,000 more jobs than in July of 2009—90 per cent of them full time and 80 per cent in the wealth-generating private sector. Canada’s debt to GDP ratio is 35.8 per cent. This is the lowest in the G-7, where the average is more than 80 per cent.

When you consider that Canada is currently paying $31 billion annually to service existing debt it is easy to appreciate why many countries with much higher debt levels continue to face very serious fiscal struggles. Also, Canada has continued to maintain an AAA credit rating which helps to ensure fiscal and investment stability. of the Central and South That in turn helps to Okanagan / Similkameen increase employment and

reduce borrowing charges. Although this is only a very brief overview of the budget, I believe it is the right budget at the right time to keep Canada strong by following the same proven principles that have ensured our nation’s leading position within the G-7.
