Secure habitat will make sheep happy STAFF REPORTER

the local parcel be made available for improvements to Westside Road, which runs through it. As well, Tolko has agreed to donate 30 ha of land—nearly half the parcel on Westside Road—to the regional district as parkland, primarily in order to provide habitat for the herd of bighorns which can frequently be seen crossing the road and grazing on the hillsides above the road. Central Okanagan Regional District chairman Robert Hobson says they are glad to have the habitat which should make the sheep very happy, and road improvements will certainly be welcome.

When Tolko first came to the regional board in 2008 with its proposal for removing some of its private land for TFL 49, Hobson said the board didn’t support it because the regional district really didn’t want to see a lot of development out there, but he said it’s not really productive forest land, but it has high value as habitat. Regional district parks director Murray Kopp said the property is located on the west side of Westside Road north of Trader’s Cove Regional Park and immediately north of Tolko’s log dump. He said the new park will feature passive recreational opportunities such as hiking trails rather than active fa-

cilities. This regional district is unique in the Okanagan for its regional parks program which has been in place since 1974. “And, we’re adding to it all the time,” he said. With the $13-million regional park legacy program announced in 2007, the regional district has plans to continue to add to conservation parks in this area, he added. Although no lake frontage is included, there will be lake views from the park portion of the property, which is hilly and steep in places. Part of the parcel is on the other side of the road, and includes a steep slope down to the lake.

Asked about its plans for the remainder of the property, Tolko spokesperson Jeanette Hoft said, “There are no current plans to do anything different with this land. Should this change, we will follow local zoning and other bylaws and provincial statutes and regulations that govern land use on private land.” There were two parcels of forest land permitted to be removed from TFL 49 following a consultation process that involved First Nations as well as the regional district. The other parcel is also privately-owned by Tolko and is in the Monte Lake area. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

In its 60th year, the Kelowna and District Society for Community Living is changing its name and increasing its fundraising effort. The newly named Pathways Abilities Society announced the rebranding from its Fuller Avenue location Wednesday morning. KDSCL began an audit of its identity, vision and fundraising efforts in 2012. Adam Less, owner/ creative director of Propeller Brand, was in charge of evaluating the brand. “We (found KDSCL) needed to redefine its message to the community, to make it simpler for the community to understand,” said Less. He noted the former KDSCL name was difficult to remember and would often be recited incorrectly. “We came up with the name Pathways Abilities Society. Most importantly, it suggests the core of their vision, which is: The people that they serve are all on their own personal pathways. “This organization is here to take people with

Sneak peak at RapidBus transit service offered Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary students could be seen huddled around classroom windows Tuesday as they watched local politicians speak at a press conference held in their school’s parking lot. The gathering was to remind the public that construction will begin this summer to ensure RapidBus transit service is available from Westbank Centre to UBCO by the summer of 2014. The location for the announcement was symbolic as transit service was a top concern for students at last year’s West Kelowna Mayor’s Youth Forum. BC Transit chief operating officer and vice-president of operations Mike Davis also announced several open houses will be held throughout the week on the Westside to show artistic renderings of the new exchanges and gather input on the design phase of the project. The West Kelowna expansion includes construction of two new tran-

sit exchanges at Westbank Centre and Boucherie Mountain. Davis said the implementation of RapidBus service will “move transit up a notch” in West Kelowna. “When you travel to a community you’re not very familiar with, (you) will ride subways and trams because the tracks are there, you know where it’s going to go. With the buses, you’re not too sure about where they’re going to go,” said Davis. “RapidBus is trying to do that same thing, to get a fixed image in people’s minds: ‘OK, this will take me to downtown Kelowna, to Orchard Park mall, to UBCO, seamlessly and easily—I don’t need to be afraid of it.’” Davis noted ridership has been up 10 per cent since the opening of the first phase or RapidBus service in Kelowna. “It’s partly the marketing, partly the community knowledge and partly just the continued growth around here. But it’s clearly made a difference.” In February 2012, West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater said

he felt Elliott Road was a poor choice for the proposed Westbank Centre transit exchange location. After seeing the newest design proposals, Findlater has changed his opinion. “I think this will work,” said Findlater. “There may have been other options, but that’s in the past. We’ll move forward because this is, overall, good for the downtown Westbank area.” According to Davis, work has been done to ensure traffic won’t get overly congested near the location of the proposed Westbank Centre exchange. “There will be a bus only lane, left turn lanes in both directions have been put back…and we’ve been working with the Ministry of Transportation to make sure the signal timings on both ends of Elliott Road are finetuned,” said Davis. Findlater said RapidBus service will bring the district one step closer to revitalizing the downtown area. “We’ll be able to attract a resident who may not want to even have a car, or who uses a car sparingly. (He/she) can

Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart added improvements to the transit system will benefit the environment. “One of the best ways

to be eco-friendly is to support the use of public transit,” said Stewart. Once complete, the entire Kelowna RapidBus project will include six new or improved exchanges, four new stations, branded shelters and real-time passenger information displays.

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $44.5 million. The federal government is contributing up to $10.9 million from the Building Canada Fund and another $6 million from the Gas Tax Fund. The provincial government is providing $23.9 million.

The City of Kelowna is adding $5.2 million in funding and West Kelowna is contributing land. Open houses will be held today from 10 a.m. to noon at Okanagan Lake Shopping Centre and from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Super 8 Hotel near Westgate Road.

Public’s help sought to find careless mud boggers Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Help is being sought to track down three ATVs and a truck that were tearing up wetlands last Saturday at about 2 p.m. in two areas off the Munro Lake Forest Service Road west of Peachland. Conservation officer Jim Beck said he just missed catching the mud boggers while he was patrolling the new Garnet Valley closed area, where motor vehicle use is restricted to a sin-

gle main route between Peachland and Summerland, Highway 97 and the Garnet Valley. If you were in the area last Saturday afternoon and saw any of the vehicles, which would have left toward Peachland from there, he asks that you contact him through the Report All Poachers and Polluters line: 1-877-952-7277. They could be charged under the Forest and Range Practices Act with unauthorized activity resulting in damage to the environment and fined

$575. If it was a second offence, Beck said they will be sent to court so a judge can determine the penalty. “It would likely be much higher,” he said. All would also have been guilty of operating a motor vehicle in a closed area, in order to have driven to the wetland areas, he added. In all, Beck said a team of conservation officers patrolling that area over the Easter long weekend laid two charges and gave out eight written

warnings as well as talked to 22 other people about the new closed area. One of the tickets was served to the driver of a vehicle driven illegally between two signs advising motorists about the new closed area and restrictions making it illegal to drive off the designed routes within that area between Jan. 1 and April 30. The fines levied for that charge were $230 for each offence. As well, another driver was fined $230 for possession of open liquor in a motor vehicle.

Beck said the Garnet Valley closed area is well-used by overwintering deer as a grazing area at a particularly vulnerable time of year for them, when the does are pregnant with fawns and they’ve been short of good feed through the winter. The closed area is intended to stop the use of illegal roads and trails in the area, where erosion and other environmental damage is being caused by motor vehicles. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Not surprisingly, a number of new records for high temperatures have been set in the past few weeks, including two this week. Easter Monday, a high temperature of 12.7 C measured at the Kelowna Airport, edged out the previous high set on April 1, 2010 of 12.6 C and Tuesday, a high of 13.5 C beat out the previous high for that date of 12.7 C set in 2005. The other record broken was on March 15, when a temperature of 16.4 C topped the previous high for that date of 14.8 C set in 1992. Meteorologist Doug Lundquist from the Environment Canada weather services office in Kelowna said overall though, the temperatures for March were just slightly

for the month was a bit above normal too, at 4.8 C, compared to the normal of 3.6 C. Higher temperatures in the latter part of the month skewed the low temperatures from earlier in March, he said. Precipitation was also around normal, with 20 millimetres, compared to the normal of 22 mm, but the amount of snow that made up that total was double the normal amount, at 10 centimetres instead of five. That accumulated in two snowfalls on March 6th and 12th. Due to the record high temperatures this week, some tree fruit blossoms have begun to swell and prepare to open, so orchardists are concerned there not be a hard freeze, which could limit the coming season’s crop of fruit. Lundquist forecasts a pattern of unsettled weather in the next week or so, but not a particularly frosty pattern, particularly not a high likelihood of a hard frost. Beyond that, he says the long-term forecast is for a warmer trend. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Lessons to be learned from HST

he HST is gone, finally. And while Premier Christy Clark didn’t miss the opportunity to remind voters that the harmonized sales tax had been beneficial to the film industry, manufacturers and other businesses that received input tax credits, the politicking rang a little hollow. The fact is that the HST— good or bad—became more than a tax. Historically, it will be seen as a symbol of everything that went wrong with the B.C. Liberal government since being

granted its last mandate in 2009 —a symbol of everything B.C. governments, no matter the political stripe, should avoid in future. It’s fact that former premier Gordon Campbell went to the polls last election stating he was not considering adopting a harmonized sales tax. It’s also fact that within weeks of being elected, the B.C. Liberals were rolling out plans for the HST. It was such a good thing for the province, voters were told (among the pluses, huge cash payments for provincial coffers

from the federal government), that the government had a sudden change of heart. A significantly large segment of the electorate evidently didn’t believe the message – or the timeline. They concluded they had been deceived. And while B.C. Liberal loyalists have muttered darkly ever since about “misinformation” spread by Bill Vander Zalm and the Stop HST movement, the latter clearly had their fingers closer to the pulse of public feeling. Even some of the staunch-

est Liberals were forced to admit they had done a horrible job of selling the HST, especially after opponents gathered sufficient votes to call for a referendum. There may have been many good reasons for an HST, but mishandling killed it, virtues, faults and all. And the writing is on the wall for whichever party forms the next government, should they choose to read it. A mandate to govern is not a signal for hubris, or over-confidence bordering on contempt for public opinion.

As economy has changed, so has advice for an education

hat a difference a decade makes. In 2004 the housing market in Kelowna was just starting to boom, most of my peers were looking ahead to some kind of early retirement and if you were young and you needed a job they were easy to find. Unemployment was low and most employers were scrambling to find workers. And at Okanagan College we faced record enrolments in most of our programs. So what happened? Some blame the collapse of the U.S. housing market and others the international banking system. It’s probably both. As the economy con-

tracted and SCHOOL’S jobs disIN appeared the housing market began to suffer and people Jane were holdMuskens ing mortgages they could no longer afford. For young adults the job market began to erode as businesses no longer witnessed the boom associated with the construction industry. Low paying service sector jobs remained in Kelowna, but other industries began to slow down.

Through time, students who entered trades training programs knew they were headed to Alberta or Saskatchewan—because that’s where the jobs were. Today even these two provinces are beginning to see a slow down as the price of oil drops due to increases in the United States’ own extraction and production of oil and gas. The resource sector in Canada, always subject to the whims of a global economy, regularly faces either a boom or a bust. This leads to a job market that is either demanding workers or laying them off. On top of this, those boomers who expected to retire can no longer afford it and jobs are not opening up for the

younger workers. We now have young people with masters degrees working as baristas in coffee shops and those with a high school diploma not even able to secure employment. In the past, this type of economy forced people to go back to school and hope the job market would be better once they graduated. But today it’s not so much about just going back, it’s more about making the right educational choice to find a job. Before spending thousands of dollars in tuition fees, students really need to make sure their credential can and will lead to gainful employment. Years ago I would tell my son

study what you enjoy. Chances are if you really like it you will excel and find work. Now I’m not too sure if this is the best advice. Today I’m more inclined to tell him to look at the trades, technicp al training and the health sector when i considering a college or university s program. e Unfortunately, growing up is s about paying your bills and not having to live with you parents forever. d Most young people I know want to be f independent in their lives. And that’s o why they need to make good career t and education decisions. g Jane Muskens is the registrar at e Okanagan College. w jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

▼ ARENA

Prospera venue adds nothing to community To the editor: Has anyone noticed the lack of community support we are getting from Prospera Place? We have this great downtown core and their biggest drawing card just doesn’t seem to get it. What happened to all those great concerts we used to get in Kelow-

na? They all seem to have gone south as the crew at Prospera are not interested in booking them. Think what a boost these events are to local businesses and our economy and how the downtown core thrives when big events come to town. It seems Prospera just wants to look after them-

selves and maximize their profits on anything they possibly can these days. I attended a Montreal Canadian’s home game recently and it was sad to see that the food and beer were cheaper and better than Prospera. I was just in Florida and NHL tickets are cheaper than Rockets

tickets! I’m not the only one attending fewer games and buying less at the games as we are all tired of being gouged with over-inflated prices for everything. It’s so bad now that Prospera has forced their own concession staff to use jumbo calculators all hockey sea-

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference

▼ MINOR HOCKEY

Gratitude to all who make a difference An open thank you letter to all hockey volunteers: We have just finished up our year of hockey. The players are sad it is over and the parents are secretly thrilled at the idea of no practises, no more out-of-town games, no more volunteering for music, or 50/50, or filling the dreaded time clock position. Away go our gloves, blankets, noise makers and our louder than typical voices. Packed away goes all the players gear—preferably in an outbuilding because some smells just never go away. I think when we pack up the gear we have a tendency to forget—out of sight and out of mind—but this year I want to make sure that those individuals who have made this past year so wonderful, understand that the time they have given will long be remembered. I would like to extend a thank you to all those who volunteer with our youth, in whatever capacity that may be. I especially offer a heartfelt thank you to all our volunteer coaches, managers and trainers in Westside Minor Hockey, but especially Midget House Westside Royals, Team 3. I have said it before, but I want others to know the life changing impact these particular people have made. Hockey is about so much more than the score. Don’t get me wrong, winning is pretty fantastic and we all feel super af-

ter a game that was won, but what about the games that are not won? Winning is easy, losing is much more difficult. Being able to see what you did right and correct what you did wrong for the next round is a valuable life skill. Playing as a team and knowing something about those you work alongside goes a long way in teaching compassion and understanding of others. Learning to listen, and follow the rules and doing this with a smile and a good sense of humour: Are these not also life skills? Losing your temper, but apologizing for it, and being humble even when you score the winning goal, because it is not one kid that scores, it is the whole team. Supporting each other, and offering encouragement even if that puck goes in and you lose the game, because the goalie did not allow the puck to go in, but the entire team. You win as a team and you lose as a team. Our volunteer coaches helped to instill this in our players. Being successful in life does not mean you always win, or that you are drafted into the NHL. Being successful is so much more. Working hard, being kind to others, being respectful, saying sorry when you have done something wrong, being reliable, passionate about what you do, sharing your knowledge, and helping others not for the recognition, but

250-860-2356

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

because it is the right thing to do. Hockey is not about how many games were won, penalty minutes taken, who skates fastest, or how many face offs your center wins, hockey is really about positively shaping a young person’s life. Hockey is full of opportunities to learn life skills. I think with supportive parents backing our children, respectful and dedicated coaches assisting in the development of skills, our future looks promising. I expect to see some exceptional individuals coming back into our community wanting to know what they can contribute, instead of what society can do for them. I am a firm believer that most of these players in their lifetime will mirror what they saw, and give back to the community through volunteering. So, to Mal Griffin, Andy Dartnell, Kevin Hogarth, John Paterson, Connie Griffin and our team photographer Debbie Hogarth—I thank you for all your volunteer time, and for making such a positive impact on each member of the Westside Royals and their families. The year may be over and skates put away, but your effort and time shared will live on much longer than any of you realize. With my respect and thanks,

Fortis needs some lessons in basic mathematics To the editor: A big thank you to Ken Umbarger for his timely research and letter on the activities of Fortis and the BC Utilities Commission (Rest of Province Pays Less Than Us for Power, March 29 Capital News). It is a long story how

Fortis came to be the provider of electricity to Kelowna and their interesting relationship with BCUC. The so-called new Residential Conservation Rates apparently grew out of their Power Sense program. Now the BCUC folks do have a heavy work

load as they are constantly bombarded with requests for rate changes and especially rate increases; however, does that explain the massive rate increases over the past couple of years? Consider that our good government believes that our inflation rate is a

Speedway to Hell To the editor: I had the dubious pleasure recently of driving to Penticton to do some errands, the weather being very nice and was set to enjoy the drive. First of all we had a driver pass us going so fast he could not signal or anything and I would think he was looking to gain his reward in Heaven or Hell, and we hope he will receive the latter. Then we had the usual

bunch of cars and trucks itching to get to the passing lane after Peachland, where they also could claim their reward by going over the posted speed limit. One would think that it read 80 mph, and not km because they don’t know the difference. It seems that the powers that be tell us to slow down and “smell the roses,” unfortunately the only roses they wish to smell is at the service that

little over one per cent a year. Now it was not too long ago that the going rate was around five cents a kilowatt hour. The twostep conservation rate is 6.8 cents a kilowatt hour and 12.95 cents a kilowatt hour. That is an over 35 per cent increase at the

first step and an over 60 per cent increase at step two. Hmm! And these are the folks that want to bring you smart meters. Paul Perrault, energy conservation specialist (retired), Kelowna

Variety show fundraiser for youth expected to draw large audience

The second annual Variety Show Fundraiser and Silent Auction staged by the Okanagan Pride Society is set for April 13. The event takes place at Okanagan Mission Community Hall, starting at 7 p.m. According to Brad Therrien, the society’s vice-president, this show will top last year’s event, which drew rave reviews. With the addition of raising funds for youth, the fundraiser will have an even more meaningful impact, Therrien said. “This year we are proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds raised from the talent show will go towards a bursary for LGBTQQA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning and their Allies) youth making positive change in their schools or the community,” he said. The Okanagan Pride Society has recently

begun to develop a youth initiative in order to provide a safe space for LGBTQQA students in the community. “It is important to offer such spaces for our youth so they feel supported and accepted, as bullying and discrimination are unfortunately still common for anyone perceived to be different,” said Therrien. According to the Trevor Project, he said, “Bullying and victimization

of LGBTQQA young people, and those perceived to be LGBTQQA, has life-threatening consequences.” The bursary generated from the profits of the variety show will empower local youth to develop projects aimed at facilitating youth to celebrate their diversity. Local businesses in the community continue to provide support with donations of items for the silent auction. The event is sponsored by Porrelli Law and the media and sound sponsor is The Heritage Law Group. “We were overwhelmed by the level of community and business support for the Okanagan Pride Festival in 2012,” said society president Wilbur Turner. “The support of our vision in celebrating diversity and promoting understanding is not only valued and welcomed but

LITTER PATROL…Staff from Starbucks turned out Wednesday

morning to help clean up the litter around the area of Gordon and Harvey in Kelowna as part of the Community Clean Up campaign currently being undertaken by the regional waste reduction service. Starbucks employees Vickie Jeffrey, 19, and Sydney Reese, 21, are shown here picking up garbage along the sidewalk on Harvey Avenue. Starbucks team leader Shannon Le Blanc says they were keen to jump on this clean up opportunity, as this is exactly the type of project Starbucks loves to support. “We’re committed to helping communities thrive wherever we do business. Our goal is to inspire our partners and invite our customers to get involved in volunteering opportunities year round.”

Utility asset sale deal between FortisBC and city clears final hurdle Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

FortisBC has completed its purchase of Kelowna’s electrical utility assets. The $55-million deal closed late last week after approval of the deal by both the B.C. Utilities Commission and Kelowna voters. The city used its controversial alternative approval process, which puts the onus on opponents of a city-proposed plan to gather enough signatures on a petition to either have force the city drop it or hold a public vote. The alternative approval process for the Fortis deal did not generate the required number of petition signatures to stop the deal or force a vote, so approval was deemed given by the residents.

The $55 million the city will receive will be invested in FortisBC to generate financial returns that, it says, will be used to help pay for future municipal projects. The city decided to sell the assets of its electric utility after a study showed it will cost as much as $70 million over the next 20 years to maintain and upgrade the utility’s infrastructure. For the past decade, FortisBC has operated and maintained Kelowna’s electrical utility assets under contract to the city. A separate company is currently contracted to handle the billing for the utility. The completion of Fortis deal will allow the company to directly serve the 15,000 customers who were formerly served by the city. FortisB.C already has 115,000 customers

between Kelowna and Lake Country. FortisBC says existing customers will continue to receive their bills as usual, but will move to its rates starting on April 8. FortisBC will transition city utility customers to its billing system in 2014. According to company spokesman Neil Proban, most residents will not notice much of a change in how much they pay for electricity each per month under the FortisBC rates. He said while the city has a flat rate of 10.2 cent per kilowatt hour, Fortis has a two-tier system where residents pay 8.8 cents per kilowatt hour up to 800 kilowatt hours per month and 12.95 cents per kilowatt hour after that. Because of the tworate system, he said any customer using up to 1,250 kilowatt hours per

month will pay the same or slightly less than they pay now and anyone using more will see their monthly bill increase. According to FortisBC, the average Kelowna household uses about 1,100 kilowatt hours per month. Mayor Walter Gray hailed the deal as good news for city taxpayers. “The successful transfer of the city’s electrical utility to FortisBC is great news for the taxpayers of Kelowna and our utility customers,”he said. “Taxpayers will benefit from the long-term financial earnings resulting from the reinvestment of the proceeds and customers will receive safe and reliable electricity from an experienced owner and operator, said Gray. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Stabbing at Bernard home revealed Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

A 24-year-old Kelowna man will be in court today, potentially to be charged in a bizarre stabbing incident in a Bernard Avenue home. Over the lunch hour Tuesday, police received a call about a man with a knife at the Bankhead Store on the corner of Bernard Avenue and Highland Drive South. The man was apparently acting erratically and waving a knife in his hands. Police arrived, arrested him without incident and then recovered the knife after it came to light that he had allegedly stabbed someone at a house on the 1300-block of Bernard Avenue. The victim, a 29-yearold Kelowna man who knew the alleged assailant, was located at the residence suffering from

a non-life threatening injury, and was taken to Kelowna General Hospital

by a friend. The 24-year-old Kelowna man faces poten-

tial charges of assault with a weapon and possessing a weapon for a dangerous

purpose. He remains in custody and is expected to appear in court today.

Huber, Woods and Uniat top Heat student athletes Roslyn Huber and Jen Woods had such exceptional seasons in their respective sports, the UBC Okanagan athletics department simply couldn’t choose an outright winner. Intsead, the two varsity stars were named co-winners of the Heat Female Student Athlete of the Year honour which was handed at Tuesday night at the 2013 UBCO awards banquet. A Kelowna product and five-year stalwart with the women’s basketball team, Huber finished her career as the leading scorer and rebounder in school history. Huber will go down as one of the all-time top athletes on the UBC Okanagan campus as she was vital in the Heat’s transition to the CIS. Woods closed out a spectacular athletic career by leading the Heat women’s team to a CCAA national title. The 5-foot-3 Woods, whose size belies her reputation as a long hitter, was also a national tournament allstar, a four-time provincial champion and a provincial all-star. A dedicated academic, the Kelowna native intends to pursue a career in medicine upon graduation in Health Studies and will continue playing competitive golf. The other finalists for the female award were soccer’s Jennifer Kidd, Kendra Wayling from the volleyball team and cross country’s Michelle Blackburne.

Brett Uniat

UNIAT WINS MALE AWARD

Brett Uniat of the Heat men’s volleyball squad was named winner of the male student athlete of the year award. It’s the fifth straight time and eighth time in the last nine years a player from the men’s volleyball squad has taken home the prestigious honour. A CIS academic all-Canadian, the Cochrane, Alta. product averaged 89 per cent in the engineering program. On the court in Uniat’s final year, this undersized middle was a force at the net with 81 total blocks and 69 block assists to finish sixth in the CIS. A dedicated, positive and team-first player, Uniat also received the Heat

Roslyn Huber Sacrifice Award for men’s volleyball. The other male finalists were basketball’s Mitch Goodwin, Cody Bell from the golf team, soccer’s Austin Jones and Colin Wallace from the cross country team.

TEAM AWARDS

Each UBC Okanagan varsity team also handed out individual awards Tuesday, as chosen by the coaches. Men’s soccer: Dustin Luck (Dedication Award), Donald Straith (MVP), Nicholas Kmet (Coach’s Award)

Jen Woods Women’s soccer: Marli Horth (Rookie of the Year), Christine Tallon (MVP), Elizabeth Babcock (Leadership Award). Men’s basketball: Yassine Ghomari (top defensive player), Dave Mackay (team spirit), Mitch Goodwin (top rookie). Women’s basketball: Melissa Irish (Coach’s Award), Roslyn Huber and Madison Kaneda (Leaderships Award). Men’s volleyball: Kristof Schlagintweit (rookie of the year), Leo

Schober (most improved), Alex Swiatlowski (Coach’s Award). Women’s volleyball: Megan Festival (rookie of the year), Katie Wuttunee (most improved), Emily Oxland (MVP). Golf: Jen Woods (top female), William Deck (top male) and Cody Bell (top male). Cross country: Trisha Metro (student athlete award), Michelle Blackburne (MVP), Layne Richardson (Leadership Award).

Warriors take Penticton Vees to 5th game in Interior final A comeback of major proportions Tuesday night kept the West Kelowna Warriors alive in the BCHL Interior Conference final. Now the Warriors will look extend their season into the weekend as they visit the Penticton Vees Thursday night in Game 5 of the best-of-seven series. Face off is 7 p.m. at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Warriors, trailing three games to one, face the task of having to win

three consecutive games against the defending BCHL and national junior A champs. “It’s pretty straightforward,” said Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster. “We won a game we had to win, now we have to go out there and find a way to win another. Let’s go out there and win a shift and then go from there. “Playoffs is so much about momentum,” Ferster said, “how quickly it can come and how quick-

ly you can lose it. We’ve lived to fight another day.” On Tuesday, the Warriors stared down elimination with a dramatic come-from-behind 5-4 win in overtime. Reid Simmons notched the game winner at 16:39 of the extra period. Trailing 4-1 after two periods, West Kelowna looked to be down and out but rallied with three third-period goals, including the tying marker from captain Max French at 14:26.

While Ferster wasn’t certain what the end result would be, he had the utmost confidence his club would battle to the final whistle. “We’ve said from day one, this is a character group that works hard,” Ferster said. “We knew they wouldn’t quit, they’ve been like that all year. “Full marks to the guys, when you’re down 4-1 and come back against that team, you have to have character.”

The Warriors are nursing their share of bumps and bruises heading into Game 5, but Ferster said sore bodies are an inevitable byproduct of playoff hockey. “We were laughing about it the other day, saying that if you’re not hurt at this time of year, you’re probably not playing hard enough. That’s the reality of playoff hockey.” If the Warriors win on Thursday, Game 6 would be played Friday night at Royal LePage Place.

well,” said Torres, 13, a Grade 8 student at Okanagan Mission Secondary. “The snow was a little soft with the warm weather, but I had a really good slalom on Saturday. I had a few troubles in the GS, but it all went pretty good.” As for winning his first provincial overall title, Torres was pleased with final result. “I thought I had a pretty good chance (to win),” Torres said. “It’s a pretty big feat for me.” Torres credited his coaches, his parents, and his sponsor, Rossignol, for his success on the slopes this season. Torres will compete this weekend at the Whistler Cup, then will wrap up the season the following weekend at the Okanagan zone finals at Revelstoke.

Critchlow wins national S junior snowboard cross Tess Critchlow found the home course very much to her liking at the Sport Chek Canadian Snowboard Cross Championships. The 17-year-old from Kelowna made two trips to the podium last weekend during the nationals at Big White. Critchlow raced to the gold medal to claim the Canadian junior women’s snowboard cross title on Saturday. Critchlow also proved competitive in the senior women’s category on Sunday, finishing second only to world and Olympic champion Maëlle Ricker from Squamish. The familiar surroundings at Big White and Telus Park proved a successful formula for Critchlow. “I’ve been here for a long time,” said Critchlow. “It’s my 12th season

Tess Critchlow riding here. I won (Saturday’s) junior nationals. It was really fun. Out of all of the Canadian juniors riders, I managed to squeeze out on top.” Earlier this spring, Critchlow was fifth at the world junior championships in Turkey. The third time was a charm for Thomas Pitman from Trail who ended up finishing his junior-age eligibility with another win in the junior men’s.

Pitman who relied on Chris Robanske’s board because he broke his own, showed that his technique was more important than the equipment and climbed to a third consecutive year on top of the junior podium. Joining him on the podium was American, Joshua Cohen, followed by local rider Clinton Pederson from Kelowna winning the bronze medal on home soil. Maëlle Ricker was the favourite going in to the senior women’s competition and didn’t disappoint. Riding with a comfortable lead all day, the current world and Olympic champion found her way to first place without any problem. “The best parts of the nationals this past week

Sun, sand and volleyball for OKM boys team

The Okanagan Mission Huskies proved that high school volleyball and travelling to a sunny, exotn ic location can be a wind ning combination. , The OKM senior boys team, which also featured two players from KSS, d are back home after capturing the championship e trophy at the first annual Koolua Cup Invitational e in Kailua, Hawaii. , The 10-day tour, headd ed up by OKM senior n boys coach Paul Thiessen a was 10 months in the making. “I created a blende ed team of core players e from the senior Huskies squad and then added to . two from KSS Owls to bring our numbers up to eight for the tour,” said Thiessen. “The tour rey quired careful planning as y we have six players also playing with the Kelowna e Volleyball Club. During k the spring break we had an opportunity to have our KVC club players play

in two Club tournaments at the beginning and the end of spring break. The ten day Hawaiian tour fit nicely in between these two club tournaments.” After spending the first three days soaking up some sun in Honolulu, the Huskies competed in the seven-team tourney at Le Jardin Academy school. After an impressive 5-1 record in pool play, the OKM boys advanced to the semifinals where they took on a team from Kalaheo with three players 6-foot-5 or taller. In an unusual playoff format, it was single-game elimination. The game was close when the Huskies defense began to take over. Some key transition kills by Isaac Smit and Devon Cote hitting from the right side helped to build OKM’s lead. The match was put out of reach when Liam Duncan converted a quick attack in the middle end-

THE OKANAGAN Mission Huskies volleyball team celebrates its tournament victory at the Koolua Cup Invitational in Hawaii during spring break. ing the match at 25-21. In the final, the Huskies defeated Campbell High School from Honolulu. Tanner Thiessen had two aces, two kills and a stuff block in the final. Spencer Michielsen made several great digs during the final as the team libero, and Dane Smit provided solid passing and offensive play throughout

the tournament. “Evan Yarrow, who was a last minute replacement to go on this tour, did a nice job in middle blocking department as he was a force at the net,” said Thiessen. “Ryan Luck, the captain of the team, led the Huskies offense which thoroughly confused our opponents who outmatched us in size usual-

ly but not in skill and experience.” OKM took home the first prize in convincing style winning the final game 25-15 to win the first ever Koolua Cup. The following day, the OKM boys played two exhibition matches and won both. Between the volleyball, the world-class beaches and social aspects of the tour, Thiessen said the trip was a great experience for the entire team. “The team left Hawaii with new Hawaiian friends and lots of great memories that will not be easily forgotten.” The team members, who were joined on the tour by 15 chaperons, were: Isaac Smit, Dane Smit, Spencer Michielsen, Ryan Luck, Tanner Thiessen, Evan Yarrow, all OKM players, and Devon Cote and Liam Duncan from KSS. The coaches are Paul Thiessen and Marv Luck.

Olympic champ impressed by young riders Snowboard from A16 was watching the Para World Cups and seeing the juniors battle it out on Friday,” said Ricker. “I was so impressed by the level of the younger riders and the knowledge they have already in mak-

While tourism may be a $1.75-billion industry in the region, the CEO of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association says there are still many challenges that must be overcome and tourism businesses here have to start working together to sustain and grow the industry . Glen Mandziuk, fresh off TOTA’s recent tourism summit in Chase to promote the association’s 10-year regional strategy, says it’s important for businesses here to realize their success enhances the bottom line of other tourism business in the region, and that will help the entire industry grow. “A visitor isn’t happy just because they have crisp, white sheets or a good meal. They have to have a range of experiences that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Mandziuk. And to provide that range of experiences, TOTA is urging its members to form partnerships, build bridges and work together to offer tourists an unforgettable time

A VISITOR ISN’T HAPPY JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE CRISP, WHITE SHEETS OR A GOOD MEAL. THEY HAVE TO HAVE A RANGE OF EXPERIENCES THAT CAN’T BE FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE. Glen Mandziuk, TOTA CEO

During the summit, the tourism association unveiled it’s new travel experiences guide highlighting experiences described as “iconic” for the region and likely to instill the emotional impact that resonates so strongly with visitors that they want to come back. But for that to work, there are challenges that must also be overcome. Access, seasonality and increasingly fierce competition from around the globe are just three of the obstacles facing this area. New TOTA board chair Michael Ballingall, vice-president of the Big White Ski Resort, said he believes the short- and long-term sustainability of tourism in the region depends on connectivity. That’s why one of his priorities as TOTA board chair will be to improve air, road and rail travel routes in and out of the re-

gion. “The Coquihalla (Highway) and Highway 1 have terrible reputations for closing (during the winter) and we need to work with the government to improve that,” he said. Another of Ballingall’s priorities is to fully support initiatives by TOTA’s staff into studying and identifying what is great and what can be improved within the local tourism industry. While the bulk of tourists come here during the summer, with a smaller bump in the winter for skiing, its clear seasonality is another major challenge. Mandziuk said getting away from “beaches and peaches” during the summer, and skiing or snowboarding as the major draw in the winter, depends on tourism businesses working together to create unique experiences that go far beyond what any one business can provide. And that’s where business partnerships come in. According to TOTA, whether its a small hotel chain in the Salmon Arm area teaming up with an outdoor recreation company to promote the world famous Adams River salmon run to Europeans, or Okanagan wineries working with valley golf courses to offer one-of-a-kind recreation packages, the Thompson Okanagan has a myriad of unique tourism options. The region has some of the most varied tourism offerings in the province. But when it comes to showcasing them to the world,and luring tourist back after they have visited once, it will take a team effort says the tourism association.

Negotiating tactic can be misleading in settlement offer S corporation, effectively using our tax dollars, to convince an injured victim that their settlement offer is a fair and reasonable one. ICBC sends you a settlement cheque accompanied by a settlement proposal document that explains: “This payment is being tendered by ICBC as a fair and reasonable assessment of the above-noted claim.” In this particular case, the letter enclosing the cheque included the seemingly kind words: “At this time we would like you to have access to the funds that we feel represents a fair settlement.” Believing in the “building trust, driving confidence” brand, the injured victim has no idea that ICBC settlement offers are regularly small fractions of “fair and reasonable.” The cheque and settlement proposal document are delivered to the in-

year deadline, having waited to engage a lawyer to commence his lawsuit until after the second anniversary of the crash. Instead of dismissing the claim, the court held that ICBC’s negotiation ploy had the effect of extending the limitation period. “Peak-a-boo,” the claim will proceed. If this negotiating tactic was used on you, or someone you know, please consult with a personal injury lawyer immediately. You might have a second chance to find out what fair compensation really means, and be able to require ICBC to pay it, giving ICBC your own “peak-a-boo.” Limitation deadlines can be very complex. If you have a potential injury claim, take the time as soon as possible for a free consultation with a lawyer to find out what deadline applies to your claim. While most injury claim limitation deadlines are two years, there are exceptions. The decision of Coombs v. LeBlond Estate can be found on the Supreme Court of British Columbia website. I would be happy to provide you a link.

Deer carcass discovery is puzzling

Judie Steeves tSTAFF REPORTER a Conservation officers -are looking for information about the carcass of a doe deer carrying twins which was found Saturday off Westside Road in the area of La Casa. There is no open season on hunting deer in spring but it would not be considered illegal if it was taken by an aboriginal, who do not have to abide by the hunting regulations, explained CO Terry Myroniuk. The animal’s head and gut pile, with the two fetuses, was discovered off a logging road just north of La Casa, which is south of Fintry. The remains were fresh when they were found, about 2:50 p.m. on Saturday, March 30, so he asked that anyone who was in the area around that time, who may have seen something that could be related, contact him through the toll-free, Report All Polluters and Poachers line at: 1-877952-7277. If it was a non-native kill, Myroniuk said

it would be considered poaching.

He said it’s not certain whether it was shot at that

jured victim before that magical two year deadline that applies to most car crash injury claims. It’s an unfortunate deadline, because it typically takes longer than two years before a permanent prognosis for car crash injuries can be provided. “Fair and reasonable” compensation for an injury depends on what permanent symptoms the victim ends up with. At the two-year mark, there is usually still optimism that there might be a full recovery. Settling a claim before waiting out that optimism is a recipe for woefully inadequate compensation. I’ll explain where the “peak-a-boo” comes in. The letter enclosing the cheque and settlement proposal document says “Without prejudice,” the intent being to prevent it being used against ICBC to extend the limitation period beyond two years. The document itself says it “…does not waive or extend any existing limitation period that applies to my claim.”. ICBC had applied to the court to dismiss the claim of injured victim, in this case Mr. Coombs, who had missed the two

Traffic delays Healthy mouth is part of a healthy pregnancy ▼ HEALTH

Carol Gulliford

There is nothing more precious than bringing a new life into the world. Teeth are not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of pregnancy and the health of the soon-to-be mother and newborn child. However, dental care is an important part of a healthy pregnancy. Yes, it is safe to visit your dentist during your pregnancy for routine cleanings and check-ups. It is important to let the dental office know

you are pregnant so they can adjust your appointment and treatment plan to accommodate you and your baby. Healthy teeth and gums means less harmful bacteria to pass onto your baby. If you have tooth pain or an infection, be sure to see your dentist. Bacteria that cause gum disease have been linked to pre-term births and low birth weight babies. What you eat during pregnancy helps keep you healthy and contributes to the growth and develop-

ment of your baby. Vitamins and minerals found in healthy foods are important for normal tooth formation which starts as early as five weeks. You may need to eat frequently during your pregnancy. Snack on healthy foods like fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products, grains and meats rather than sweet or sticky foods that can increase your risk for tooth decay.

Remember to cut down on sugar in tea and coffee and limit sugary drinks to mealtimes. Many pregnant women say they feel so ill that they don’t feel like eating, especially in the morning. Morning sickness does happen and it not only affects your desire to eat, it can also affect your teeth as well. If you throw up often, your stomach acids can break down your tooth en-

amel. After throwing up the first thing you might want to do is reach for your toothbrush, but don’t! It is best to wait 30 minutes before brushing your teeth. Instead, rinse your mouth with water first, then rinse again with a fluoride mouth wash. The fluoride helps to re-mineralize your enamel. Cleaning your teeth daily is important. Hormones may cause your gums to swell and bleed more than they used to. Keep up with your

New owners take over popular meat stores STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart This week’s column is dedicated to a very good friend, Mike Docherty, who passed away on his birthday, March 28, while in hospice care. I had lunch with Mike just a couple of weeks ago, and at that time he was still working for First Transit. He loved working and I couldn’t even tell that he was ill. I was glad to have had that lunch with him. Personal condolences to his wife Susie, his entire family and many friends. We will surely miss him. His funeral service is April 6, 1 p.m., at the Evangel Church.

wo local meat shops, Johnny’s Fresh Meats and Deli in Rutland, at 190 Hollywood Rd., and in West Kelowna, at 1777 Ross Rd. have been sold. The new owners are Lance and Audrey Rowell, who relocated from Pitt Meadows to purchase the two shops. (In case you were wondering, this sale has nothing to do with the Johnny’s Meat Shop at the corner of KLO and Benvoulin in Kelowna. It is no longer a Johnny’s Meats store.) The Rowells are not new to the meat industry as they owned and operated the same type of family meat shop in Pitt Meadows for seven years. Also, Audrey comes from

a farm/cattle background, so they are well versed in the industry. They will be making a few changes, bringing in a few new items for their customers. The Rowells will change the logo for the two shops but not the name. Call 250-860-5646 (Rutland) or 250-769-7178 (West Kelowna). Robinson Lighting, 4-1495 Dilworth Dr., has also relocated, moving into the former Beachcomber location at 410 Banks Rd. in July. Leigh Robinson tells me there are many exciting things happening at the store in conjunction with the move. More announcements to follow. Call 250860-9626. Brian Reardon has been appointed the new chief administrative officer for the Regional District of Central Okanagan, effective April 15.

Developing café culture Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Maybe you’re a traditionalist. There’s a chess set in your living room and Boggle tucked under the stairs. Or you’re a Troubleloving kid with a matching Frustration!, Headache and Double Trouble in your game stack, ready and waiting for mom to finish up chores and sit down for a match. No matter your fancy—Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit or Clue—there’s no denying a board game is one great way to set the stage for hanging out with girlfriends, beer night with the boys, family evening or even first date. The only way to make it better is to take your board game into a room full of other groups enjoying the same, at least this is how the masterminds at the Streaming Café and Digital Okanagan see it. “We’re talking about playing old fashioned, straight board games,” says Michael Donley, one of the creative-types evolving the coffee house’s cultural community, as he introduces the

first of a string of open house offerings. Building a public board games routine into the downtown core is really quite apropos for this area. Kelowna has served as home to World Scrabble Champion Jesse Matthews and, arguably, the city’s top business success story in the last few decades is the online game Club Penguin. Many in the business community will know Nick Kellet as a social media pusher, but the business that put him on the map is a board game called GifTRAP. And there’s a new duo out of Kelowna trying to follow in his footsteps. Dave Phelps and Derek Hodgins are developing a Monopoly clone called the Trailer Park Boys Board Game, merging an iconic game with a loveto-hate-it trashy show, and earning themselves a fair amount of press along the way. Digital Okanagan is already doing board game nights, but has decided to take the endeavour to the Streaming Café for a monthly showdown in which players can come

out single, with or without a game or with a whole crew of people. It’s dubbed Meeple Board Game Night— Meeple is a merger of “my” and “people” and refers to the people-like game pieces on a board game, as named by Carcassonne fan Alison Hansel. The evening is part of day one of a three-day Streaming Café showcase this month. The Streaming Café has built its name on a previously untouched frontier, offering independent Canadian artists a place to perform in a coffee shop venue, while live streaming over the Internet so that anyone can watch the concert. But it’s grown into a meeting place for creative types opening the doors for visual artists, songwriters’ circles, networking events, think tank sessions and more. This particular event includes the OK Think Tank two-hour trouble shooting session running at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 18, the same evening as the new Meeple Board Game Night launches at 6:30 p.m.

CONTRIBUTED

THE CREATIVE community being built at the Streaming Café involves more than just music and coffee. The venue throws the doors open this weekend to showcase just what this means. One can follow the game night on twitter at #GameNightKL. The next day, on Friday, April 19, Streaming Café regulars Nikki Bal-

four, Leanne Spanza and John van Der Woude will have an opening for the visual art pieces they will hang in the space for the month.

And on Saturday, April 20, three popular Streaming Café musical acts, Vancouver’s Prairie Dance Club, JJ Shiplett and Vernon’s Raquel

Warchol will play in an extra-long Saturday night music evening, for a $5 cover charge. All of the other weekend events are free.

by well-known local realtor and businessman Julius Bloomfield and his wife Toni, the neighbourhood is buzzing with anticipation as to their plans for the inn. Julius says “we are planning to keep the Cobblestone as a fine dining experience and expand it with a tapas and wine bar theme. We plan to open up the dining room as a family dining style bistro.” Fine-tuning the menus

to make the cuisine more locally focused, he says “all of our food will have an organic slant with a focus on a 100-mile diet. The rooms will maintain their period charm and we will be offering a more cost effective accommodation at the Naramata Courtyard Suites. “We will be keeping the spa and will expand the service with a hair salon.” See Schell B4

CELEBRATING its 20th anniversary, Steven Spielberg has supervised a 3D conversion of his classic adventure.

▼ MOVIE PREVIEWS

Revolutionary movie that changed the industry gets a 3D makeover

t was 20 years ago that Jurassic Park was released and because it was directed by Steven Spielberg, the anticipation was great and the movie industry knew it was going to be something special. But its success surprised almost everybody and it changed forever what it would be like going to the movies. The most significant change was the use of computer generated special effects instead of stop-motion animation for the dinosaurs. With the success of Jurassic Park, it suddenly became possible to make movies that were previously thought to be impossible to make. It influenced George Lucas to start making his Star Wars prequels and it allowed filmmakers like James Cameron (Titanic, Avatar) and Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings, King Kong) to actually recreate on-screen what their incredible imaginations could create. Now Jurassic Park gets the 3D treatment, with Spielberg using the same conversion process that Cameron used for the re-release of Titanic. It is showing at the Grand 10 in Kelowna and at the Landmark 8 in West Kelowna in the Xtreme auditorium. From a re-release to a remake of another influential movie: 30 years ago director Sam Raimi (Spiderman, Oz: The Great

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis and Powerful) and his friends Robert Tapert and Bruce Campbell made the low-budget horror flick The Evil Dead for $150,000. It spawned two sequels (Evil Dead II & Army of Darkness) and changed the way horror

movies were made. What Raimi and company did was create a movie that was probably one of the scariest and most gruesome of its time but also seemed to celebrate the inevitable campiness of a low-budget movie. The result was a lot of humour in between the scares and eventually its sequels became more funny than scary. Since then, the Evil Dead series has been spun off into comic books, video games and even a

musical. The remake of The Evil Dead is being released this weekend with Raimi, Tapert and Campbell serving as producers. If you do not know the story, five friends become holed up in a remote cabin when they discover the Necronomicon (The Book of the Dead) and unwittingly awaken a dormant demonic presence living in the nearby woods.

▼ MOVIE REVIEW

G.I. Joe for the action lover in you G.I. JOE – RETALIATION Billed as an action/adventure, G.I. Joe, Retaliation, hit the theatres this past weekend, and managed to top the box office to the tune of $15.5 million on Friday alone. The first installment, G.I. Joe, Rise of the Cobra, brought in $302 million world-wide. The opening scenes can get a bit confusing; however, even the befuddled will “get it” by the end of the show, which pits good versus very evil as the G.I. Joes face their toughest assignment after being the target of a total betrayal by their own government which leaves a trail of death and suspicion. This was a Paramount/ MGM production in as-

CHINA YANGTZE HIGHLIGHT

Susan Steen sociation with Hasbro, the company who created G.I. Joe the toy figure. Hasbro began in 1923 in Providence, Rhode Island, started by two brothers who made school supplies. By 1940 they were making their first toys and by 1952 they were looking for backers for a new toy they called, Mr. Potato Head (how many remember that one?!). The G.I. Joe idea came from the TV show The Lieutenant and the brothers started producing

an action figure called G.I. Joe because the show was about the U.S. Marine Corps. Hasbro has since gone on to become one of the largest and most successful toy companies in the U.S. (There’s a little history for you.) This Jon Chu film has a cast which includes Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock, the leader; Jonathan Pryce in a dual role as President of the United States; Byunghun Lee as the mysterious Storm Shadow; Ray Stevenson as Firefly; Channing Tatum is Duke, Ray Park is Snake Eyes, the Cobra Commander is Luke Bracey and Bruce Willis has a lessor role as General Joe Colton. I am a big action film fan, so I enjoyed it, al-

though it might have been more enjoyable had I seen the first film in the franchise or at least had familiarized myself with the characters, but it was a really good couple of hours of movie enjoyment. I was particularly interested in the fact that when the world is at the brink of destruction (yes, once again at the brink of destruction!) and all the world leaders are gathered, Canada isn’t at the table, and in fact no one mentions Canada at all— even though we are actually attached to the United States, and there’s all that “True North, Strong and Free” that, in all its whiteness, is above us all. I always wonder why the first person the Presi-

dent calls is Britain—hey, weren’t they all big on being independent back in 1776 and likely they only won because the Americans could fire 60 rounds between having to sharpen their flints, while the British could only fire six rounds. Anyway, I’ve forgotten all that now that we’re getting a Target, it doesn’t matter who won. See G.I. Joe if you’re a fan of the franchise, it’s worthy of three reels.

Beware of tax season scams T BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka again? Currently, CRA is not in the habit of recording email addresses or responding by email, so you might need to ask yourself how would they get your email address? If the email is telling you to access the site to claim your refund and you are not expecting a refund, then it must be a scam. Samples of email scams can be found at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ntcs/ frdlntmls-eng.html. Samples of online refund form scams can be found at www.cra-arc. gc.ca/ntcs/nln-rfnd-eng. html. Samples of letter scams can be found at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/nwsrm/lrts/2008/l080818beng.pdf. The next one to watch out for is a phone scam. In this case, the caller indicates that they are calling from CRA and wants you to confirm your SIN number. Before you know it,

you have given the caller your SIN number when in fact the caller should be telling you the SIN number that they have on file for you. The caller may be very aggressive or abusive so that you might feel obligated to respond. Again, you need to ask yourself why CRA would be calling you. Normally, all correspondence from the CRA comes by way of regular or registered mail, so unless you have been told via letter that you should expect a call, I would conclude that any calls from someone who indicates they’re a CRA employee would more than likely be a scam. Examples of donation scams are those where you are asked to donate a nominal amount but get a tax receipt for a much larger amount. The thing to keep in mind about these kinds of scams is that if it sounds too good to be true, perhaps it is. When you donate funds, you need to make sure that the organizations you are donating to have a valid CRA charitable organization number. To search for an organization go to www. cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/

lstngs/menu-eng.html. To avoid tax preparer fraud you need to stay away from fee quotes that are based on the amount of refund that you will receive. In these cases, the preparer will alter information on your return without your knowledge, but you will be held liable. You need to look for credentials of the person preparing your taxes. Certified general accountants have completed detailed tax training and are required to stay current in tax matters through annual updates. So now let’s say that you have been scammed, then what do you do about it? Contact the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre by email to info@ antifraudcentre.ca or by phone at 1-888-495-8501. Gabriele Banka is a Certified General Accountant and the owner of Banka & Company. 250-763-4528 info@bankaco.com

A new survey says that the majority of British Columbians are concerned about being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The poll, conducted jointly by Insights West and the Alzheimer Society of B.C., found that some 61 per cent of people polled, including Kelowna residents, are concerned about getting the brain degenerative disease. And 39 per cent of us know someone with Alzheimer’s. “Age is the greatest known risk factor and our baby boomers, the largest demographic group in our population, have now started to enter the 65 plus years,” said Michelle Hallgren, the society’s support and education coordinator for Kelowna and the North/Central Oakanagan. “There is still a lot we don’t know about the causes and we don’t have

a cure so it’s not a surprise that Alzheimer’s disease is ranked so high as a health concern.” According to the study, it is the third most feared disease among B.C. residents after cancer (74 per cent) and heart disease (69 per cent). This finding is particularly alarming, she says, since the prevalence of the dis-

ease is not as high in B.C. as cancer, heart disease or even diabetes. A more encouraging finding from the survey is that 52 per cent of respondents believe there will be a cure found in the next 10 years. In the meantime, says Hallgren, there needs to be more awareness and education about the disease.

ax season is also the time when many scams come to light. A recent survey indicates that one in five people have been exposed to a tax scam. One in 10 Canadians know of someone who has been a victim of a scam. Men have been exposed to, or victims of, more scams than women. Then there are phishing emails and telephone calls, which means that they are phishing for your personal information. There are identity theft scams, charitable donations scams and tax preparer scams. Which ones are operating now you ask? One of the most recent is through email. You might receive an email that is very official looking from the Canada Revenue Agency. The email will look very official, but it will actually direct you to a fake website designed to gather personal information from you by having you verify information by typing in your personal information into the website. Alternatively, this email might want you to click on a link to get your refund. The message in the email is that it is URGENT that you comply immediately. If you do not reply, then the consequence is additional taxes payable or blocking access to your bank account. So how will you know if it is a scam? First, the CRA will not ask you for your personal information by email. If you click on the link or enter your password that you use to access ‘My Account’ or ‘My Business Account,’ then this program will store that password along with the other information that you have given it and use it to access your account with CRA at a later date. You need to ask yourself if you are confident about knowing who is asking for the information. Is there a person’s name on the email? Perhaps call CRA directly and ask for the person by name just to determine whether or not that person is an actual employee. Is the information that is being asked for already on file with the CRA? If so, you need to ask yourself why would they be asking for the information

NEWS ▼ PLANTING SEEDS

Early arrival of spring means an extended gardening season this year

ith our beautiful spring weather now upon us in the Okanagan, that means an early jumpstart to the gardening season. No question that spring is my favourite time of the year. And when it comes early, I get to enjoy it for that much longer. But while there are so many positives that come from an early spring, along with that also comes a few negatives. One of those negatives is the blossoms on spring bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, don’t hold up as long as they do when the weather is on the cool side. As well, when the magnolias and other spring blooming trees and shrubs come out early, they are vulnerable to a late frost which will promptly turn them brown. This happens about every five or six years. Otherwise, it’s all good when it comes to early spring gardening. Take advantage and get your garden planted early. Of course you can’t plant out tomato or pepper

transplants because the danger of frost is still there, but you can definitely plant some peas, carrots, radishes, onions and potatoes. Don Same goes for Burnett corn, spinach, beets, lettuce and cabbage. In fact, all the brassica family can go in now such as cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts. One of the best ways to control certain overwintering fungus and insect problems is to apply the dormant oil lime sulphur combination spray. This kit is available in all the garden centres and should be applied now even if there is new growth showing on the roses or fruit tree. Avoid spraying it on blossoms. It’s great for roses, grapes and most fruit trees as it controls mildew, peach leaf curl, black spot and overwintering aphids and leaf rollers. It does not, however, control some bad ones such as coddling moth on apples and pears, cherry fruit fly on cherries, walnut husk fly or peach tree borer. Those pests should be looked

FROM THE GROUND UP

after by a qualified spray company to get best results. Now is also a great time to aerate the lawn. If you haven’t done this recently, chances are you are seeing signs of compaction such as earth worms rising to the surface after a rain. After the aeration, it is a good idea to top dress with some sand and Natures Gold. This process can be done by hand but it is somewhat difficult getting the materials evenly spread. Placing little piles of material about three feet apart and spreading with the back of a landscape rake will work. But I was in Winn Rentals on McCurdy Road in Kelowna the other day and guess what they have to rent out—a real efficient motorized top dressing machine. ••• On a sad note, I just heard my good friend Dan Bruce had to say goodbye to his old pal Rufus this spring. My thoughts are with you Dan as I know how close you were to your dear blue heeler. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m.

Warmer spring weather beckons cyclists to hit the road With the arrival of spring comes warmer weather and longer days— and more people biking and walking on Kelowna’s bike lanes and pathways. The City of Kelowna is currently out sweeping all bike lanes and most roadways. To make riding safer and more enjoyable, bike lanes in Kelowna are swept eight times a year. Kelowna continues to expand on its more than 290 kilometres of on-street bike lanes, more than 35 kms of hard surface shared-use pathways and many kilometres of gravel recreational pathways. There are exciting bike network improvements planned for 2013, including the expansion of the popular Rails with Trails pathway from Spall Road to Dilworth Drive. “The popularity of bike riding continues to grow in Kelowna as families and individuals incorporate cycling into their daily lives for both transportation and recreation,” said Mike Kittmer, active transportation coordinator for the City of Kelowna. “We are committed to improving access to environmentally responsible modes of transportation that encourage healthier lifestyles.” Take a trip downtown and motorists and bike riders alike will encounter the new shared lane markings or “sharrows” on Bernard Avenue. These markings reinforce that a cyclist may ride in the traffic lane and assists them in correct positioning between traveling cars and parallel parked cars. Bike rack availability is also on the rise with new racks and lockers now located along Bernard Avenue, within Pandosy Village and elsewhere downtown.

Riders are encouraged to review the City of Kelowna’s Traffic Bylaws that pertain to cycling. In particular, all riders are required to wear a bicycle helmet and cycling is not permitted on sidewalks. Motorists are asked to drive aware and to share all roads with cyclists. Parking or driving in bike lanes throughout Kelowna is not permitted and motorists should be mindful of these rules at all times. “If everyone is predicable and abides by traffic rules, it significantly reduces the risk of an accident,” said Kittmer,. “We’re going to see more residents taking to the streets by bicycle as well as more pedestrians as our city and region continue to grow. “When everyone is aware of others we all make it to and from our destinations safely.” An experienced cyclist himself, Kittmer says it is much more comfortable riding on the road with traffic when you know the rules and have a planned route. He suggests cyclists visit bikesense. bc.ca for a thorough explanation of bicycle safety and regulations. “When you follow the rules of the road, drivers respect you and are better able to interact with you safely.” This year, Bike to Work and School Week is May 27 to June 2 and the community is encouraged to sign up to cycle to work or school with colleagues, family or friends. For more on Bike to Work Week and cycling in the Central Okanagan, visit smartTRIPS.ca. A map of cycling routes in Kelowna is available at all local bike shops or online at kelowna.ca/transportation.

NEWS ▼ DAFFODIL MONTH

Fighting back against cancer If you want to make a difference in the fight against cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society needs your time and support. With April being Daffodil Month, door-to-door canvassers are needed this month to help the society raise funds for the best in cancer research, prevention and support programs. Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community. We sometimes don’t hear the stories of those in our community who are affected by the time we give. Kelowna resident and Canadian Cancer Society volunteer Jack Salvino shares the reasons why he first got involved as a canvasser with the society and was there for during his own cancer journey. “I became involved for my family. I worry for my children and my grand children, and want to be a part in hopefully eradicating this disease from their futures,” said the recently retired Salvino.

In his second year of involvement with the campaign, Salvino has moved from canvassing in his local area to offering to mentor young canvassers and helping out veteran canvassers with mobility issues complete their routes. In 2012, Salvino was in the top three canvassers for total donations collected in the Southern Interior Region. “It’s not very often that you meet someone who hasn’t had a friend or family member affected by cancer,” he said. This past holiday season, the cause once again became personal for Salvino, with his mother-inlaw’s diagnosis of breast cancer. “The secret is to understand that everyone has a connection to this cause, and in that we stand united. “Even just three hours of your time can make a big difference. It gives me a chance to meet neighbours I wouldn’t normally meet, and have more familiar faces at night when I

walk the dog. “I have found that people are not surprised to see me at their door. They are expecting it every April.” Volunteers are the heart of the Canadian Cancer Society. I f you have a few hours to spare this April and want to make a difference in the fight against cancer, sign up as a volunteer today. For more information, please contact Jacque-

line Salvino, volunteer engagement coordinator at sirvolunteers@bc.cancer. ca or call 800-403-8222. Established in 1938, the Canadian Cancer Society is a national charity that fights cancer by doing everything we can to prevent cancer, fund research and support people living with cancer.

SUMMER BUYS TO PURCHASE NOW!

By Sam Hill, Contributor It’s that time of year when the sun is shining, we’re losing layers, and the ease of springtime is coming into full effect. This is the time of year when those eye catching summer styles are popping up in stores and you’re so tempted to purchase until you remember that you won’t be able to wear it for a few more weeks. Ladies, suck it up and buy it! Just like you have to schedule time off work for your summer vacay months in advance, you should prep your wardrobe ear-

ly as well. You may be planning a road trip to Coachella, or maybe a cruise in the Caribbean, or maybe even a backpacking trip around Asia or Europe, and you’re going to need the right clothes. Get your

festival this summer you are going to need some essentials. A flowy dress is a must. Whether it’s a psychedelic maxi dress for Coachella or a red sundress for Watershed this summertime staple will get you through those long, hot days and you’ll look great too. My favourite spot to purchase such dresses in Kelowna is Frakas. They have all kinds of different styles for every kind of girl, at every kind of festival. You’re also going to want to pick up a pair of jean shorts as it can be difficult to get through the summer without them. Spice it up this year and find some shorts with lace trim or funky patterns! These things will be

your saving grace at Center of Gravity when that Okanagan sun is beating down on you! If you’re heading to the Caribbean, or some other beautiful destination, I am seriously jealous. For this trip I think we can all guess what you need to stock up on… swim suits. Be practical ladies! That cut-out one piece is totally cute, but those tan lines... Not worth it! Bandeaus or halter styles are the way to go. I’m a Victoria’s Secret swimwear lover myself, but for a local pick definitely check out Surf Culture Clothing! A backpacking trip requires minimal clothing that’s going to pack away easily and without taking up much space. Lululemon Speed Shorts will do just the trick.

MP says he’s free to speak his mind in members’ statements

ast week was a somewhat unusual one in Ottawa. Much of the focus was on SO-31s, otherwise known as Member’s Statements and the ability of MPs to engage in these 60-second statements delivered in the House of Commons directly before the daily Question Period. Ultimately some in the media had this story turning into a full blown crisis of free speech and/ or a large scale mutiny by some of the government backbenchers. If you are unfamiliar with a member’s statement, the summary definition is: “Members who are not ministers are permitted to address the House for up to one minute on virtually any matter of local, provincial, national or international concern.” Although the definition is quite open, there are in fact a number of restrictions that apply. During a member’s statement, there are to be no personal attacks on individual members or an attack on senators and the actions of the Senate cannot be criticized. Likewise, questioning court rulings or the character of judges is also deemed inappropriate as is defamatory comments on non-members. In addition, the use of verbatim comments from private citizens is to be avoided and comments should not be of a commercial nature. As for the speaking order for these statements in the House of Commons, it is defined by the Chair who “consults speaking lists provided by the whips of the various parties and attempts to recognize government members and members in opposition on an equal basis.” This is not my definition but rather the definition from the House of Commons Compendium of Procedure. I raise this point as

MP’S REPORT

Dan Albas contrary to what you may have heard in the media, parliamentary practice is clear in recognizing that whips of a respective party have long been involved in the process of determining the speaking order during members’ statements. Much of this current debate is in questioning to what extent a whip should (and by extension a party) be involved in what individual MPs can or can’t say in the House of Commons. First, I believe it is imperative to recognize that once you exclude ministers, there are still hundreds of MPs who can and do speak on matters of importance to their constituents each day the House of Commons is sitting, without incident or controversy. In fact, last week in recognizing World Autism Day, my colleague, MP Mike Lake, delivered one of the most touching member’s statements I have ever heard in the House of Commons. However, as is often the case, such a truly meaningful statement from Lake was overlooked by the media, upstaged for coverage by a statement from another MP. While I can’t speak for other MPs, my own experience as been that I’ve had the opportunity to deliver many member’s statements in the House of Commons without incident. Examples of some of my statements include last year’s record breaking season of the Penticton Vees, the good work that Canadian Shriners do on behalf of sick chil-

KGH auxiliary meeting planned

The monthly and annual general meeting of the Kelowna General Hospital Auxiliary will take place Monday, April 15, 7 p.m., at the Centennial Tower main floor board room. The AGM will follow the regular meeting agenda. The incoming 2013-2014 KGH Auxiliary executive will be installed. The purpose of the auxiliary is to raise money to purchase new equipment for KGH through fundraising events and their venues in the hospital lobby. New members, men and women of all ages, are welcome.

dren across Canada and more recently recognizing the importance of responsible resource development to our rural communities such as Logan Lake and Merritt. I have received positive comments on these statements from colleagues on both sides of the House and from many local citizens. Often I find there is great interest in these types of statements as they help to reflect the diversity of our great country.

My most recent statement spotlighted the work of International Space Station Commander Hadfield via radio at Uplands Elementary School oas well as Olympian Kristi Richards at the Summerland Middle School. Both of these individuals are excellent role models for our youth and continue to encourage young Canadians to work hard and follow their dreams. If anyone is so interested, I also post these

members statements on my www.danalbas.com website, under the heading ‘video.’ I make a point of authoring my own member statements largely based on events and achievements occurring within my Okanagan-Coquihalla riding. My members’ statements are not directed by any outside influences and it has never been suggested to me what I should or should not say. From my own experiences in representing the

citizens of Okanagan-Coquihalla, I have found these statements to be a brief but very important way that we as MPs can share events that occur in our ridings with other Canadians, and I have never encountered any difficulty whatsoever in doing so. •••* As the House is temporarily recessed to allow MPs to work in their respective ridings, I will be meeting with constituents throughout our communities this week and

Potholes are expensive to unwary drivers If you are hitting the highway or urban streets this spring thaw, there is a very good chance that your vehicle will strike a serious pothole, cautions Fountain Tire. Defensive driving remains the best way to avoid costly front-end damage to suspension systems, rims and tires that can result from hitting a deep pothole. Here are some common sense tips from Fountain Tire for motorists who want to avoid or minimize the perils posed by potholes this spring thaw: Slow down. Hitting a pothole at higher speeds increases the potential for damage and loss of control of your vehicle. Look ahead. Watch

for potholes by leaving plenty of space between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This provides more time to safely steer around the road cavity. Before avoiding a pothole always check that the way is clear. Ensure your tires are inflated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. An under-inflated tire provides less cushion against a jarring impact and increases the chances of wheel, tire and suspension system damage. (The recommended air pressure is listed in your vehicle manual and on your vehicle placard, which is commonly located on one of the inside door posts, or inside the glove compartment or

fuel door.) Watch out for pools of water in the roadway and, when possible, avoid driving through them. An innocent-looking puddle can disguise a deep and dangerous pothole. Driving through a pool of water at speed can also cause hydro-planning. Do not brake when striking a pothole. Braking shifts weight to the front end, causing a harder, more jarring impact. Also, grip the steering wheel tightly. Hard impacts can jolt the steering wheel out of your hands and cause loss of control. Potholes form when snow and ice melts into cracks in the asphalt and then freezes, expanding in the cracks. Meanwhile, the frost in the ground pushes up, weakening the asphalt. This then causes the asphalt to break away in chunks and forms the pothole. Fountain Tire offers these tips for detecting warning signs of damage: Pothole-related damage to suspension and steering systems can include: an unusually harsh or bouncy ride; vehicle oscillation or swaying while turning and, in extreme cases, loss of control. Symptoms of wheel alignment problems are uneven tire wear; handling problems, such as “pulling” in one direction instead of maintaining a straight path or harsh vibration. Poor alignment also increases fuel consumption, shortens the lifespan of tires and hampers reliable handling. Potholes can also cause visible dents in the rim and bulges or blisters on tire sidewalls. “Motorists who hit a serious pothole should play it safe by getting their vehicle’s front end and tires checked out by a professional technician,” said Dave Deley, general manager, store operations for Fountain Tire. “An ounce of prevention after a pothole encounter can save considerable money later on.”

Dennis (Papa) Powell was born in Edmonton on February 12, 1936. He was proud of his humble beginnings, and was always happy to share his stories of growing up in abject poverty (to hear him describe it) in northern Alberta. The second in a family of four brothers, Dennis left school and home at an early age and set out to take on the world armed with street smarts, a powerful work ethic and an unflagging will to succeed. In Toronto, in the 1950s, he found his life partner and soul mate Ellen, and they married despite the considerable reservations voiced by her mother. At the time, Dennis’ entire fortune consisted of a one-half interest in a 58 Ford, but Ellen saw in him much potential for improvement. She was right. Dennis and Ellen started their new family in Toronto, where they lived for several years before pulling up their stakes and moving west to BC. They had visited the Okanagan once on vacation and decided it was where they wanted to be. In 1970, they moved to Lake Country, where they would live for the next 40 years and build a business together that would eventually occupy them, their children and grandchildren. Dennis was an amazing man, with many friends and admirers. His generosity, good humour, and adventurous spirit earned him love and respect at every turn, but he also never let anyone forget that he could be a strict boss and a firm leader. Dennis loved to travel, and often would, with friends, family or both. He would make a special point of meeting and befriending families in countries that he visited, often arranging ongoing support for them and their children. But Dennis’ greatest and most favorite project was his family. His best times were those spent around the dinner table, raising a glass and arguing about whatever was going to be the topic of the evening. He was the toastmaster, the storyteller, and always the centre of attention. When he and Ellen retired to their Denman Island cottage in 2011, their dinner table and their beach became a destination resort for many. Papa died on March 22, 2013. He leaves behind Ellen, their children Laurel, Philip, Christina, and Andrew, grandchildren Chantelle, Dane, Zachary, Max, Cassia, Amelia, and Seamus, great-grandchildren Tyson, Lucas, and Alivia, and many other nieces, nephews, friends, neighbours, and extended family. He will be missed. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Canuck Place. www.canuckplace.org.

WINKEL, MARIA MARGARETE Went to be with her Lord peacefully in her sleep on March 29, 2013 at the age of 86 after a long illness. She leaves behind her husband Heinz of 53 years and many friends who remember her as a kind and compassionate person who had a great heart for all people she met. She came to Canada with her husband in 1975 where they managed the Brookside Residence with love and patience for the residents for many years. Margaret will be greatly missed by all who knew her. We would like to thank Dr. Steinruck, the staff and nurses at Kelowna General Hospital and Hospice House for their compassionate care given to Margarete. A funeral service will be held on April 4, 2013 at 3:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

SELAND, THOMAS PETER

November 21, 1941 – March 29, 2013 Physician, husband, father, chef, and music lover. Peter Seland, beloved husband of Michèle Mantle, father to Karen (Jim), Nicola, Scott (Denise), and Mark (Lara) and grandfather to Desirae and Alex, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2013 in Kelowna, B.C. Peter was born and raised in Drumheller, AB, to parents Norma and Trygve. After finishing school at 16, he enrolled at the University of Alberta taking two years of pre-med classes before entering medicine. After completing his medical degree in 1964 and internship in 1965, Peter served three years in the Royal Canadian Navy based in Comox, BC as a Surgeon Lieutenant. He returned to the U of A to pursue his interest in the function of the brain through a Neurology Residency. In 1973 he moved the family to Calgary where he served as the Director of the Division of Neurology at the Calgary General Hospital. As a faculty member of the Uof C, he was one of the key founding fathers of the Department of Clinical Neurosciences. He served as the President of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta between 1984 and 1986 and later as Chair of the College’s Advisory Committee on Professional Education. In this same period, he acted as Chair of the Neurology Examination Board of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Throughout his career in Neurology he pursued a specific interest in Multiple Sclerosis. Peter was the Director of the University of Calgary Multiple Sclerosis Research Clinic and following a move to Kelowna in 1992, set-up a new MS Clinic, caring for patients from across south central British Columbia. While in Kelowna, Peter also had a busy community-based Neurology practice and served various administrative roles at the Kelowna General Hospital. Always considerate and caring, he was respected by patients, physicians, and academics alike. Over the years, his experiences and observations led him to an understanding of, and passion for, the area of medical ethics. In 1999, he joined the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia as Deputy Registrar (Ethics). Over the past decade, Peter made numerous presentations and speeches on various aspects of medical ethics. Peter was truly a man of many interests and talents. In his earlier years, he was a Boy Scout leader with a love of canoeing and photography. He was an avid lover of classical music and literature. Peter also enjoyed the splendor of flowers, mountains and physical geography. He was a masterful “home chef”. Peter and Michèle shared a common love for their dogs. Weakened in his last several weeks by lymphoma, he kept his sense of humour and wonderment and accepted his condition with courage and grace. A celebration of Peter’s life will be held at Summerhill Winery on Friday, April 5, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. If desired, friends are encouraged to donate to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

Secure habitat will make sheep happy Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

The California bighorn sheep herd that ranges along Westside Road near Trader’s Cove should be pleased about conservation of a plot of wild land owned by Tolko Industries as habitat for them. The locally-based, family-owned forest company has succeeded in having 116 hectares of private land removed from its 141,975ha Tree Farm License 49 west of West Kelowna, by the provincial government, but there are conditions. Part of the agreement with the province for its removal from the TFL is that a portion of the local parcel be made available for improvements to Westside Road, which runs through it. As well, Tolko has agreed to donate 30 ha of land—nearly half the parcel on Westside Road—to the regional district as parkland, primarily in order to provide habitat for the herd of bighorns which can frequently be seen crossing the road and grazing on the hillsides above the road. Central Okanagan Regional District chairman Robert Hobson says they are glad to have

The commission will review the rates and budgets to ensure they are equitable and then forward their recommendation on to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs for final approval.

West Kelowna and residents may experience some differences in the street sweeping program this spring as it’s the first year the district has taken on that service. The district took over road maintenance services in the community in December 2012 and purchased a street sweeper last year to enable the municipality to conduct street sweeping in-house. The street sweeping is already complete for Casa Loma, Lakeview Heights, Gellatly and Westbank Centre. The remaining schedule is Boucherie, early April; West Kelowna Estates, mid-April; Rose Valley, late April; Shannon Lake, early May; Smith Creek, mid-May; and Glenrosa, late May. Area residents may notice piles of collected road sand deposited in their neighbourhood. This is temporary as the sweeper services the neighbourhood and the sand piles will be removed as soon as possible once sweeping is complete. For more information, please call 778-7972225 or email roads@districtofwestkelowna.ca.
