New city parkade costs spiral up 50%

AlistairWaters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Now the city knows what it feels like for motorists when they face a steep increase in the cost of parking. City staff have told council that the price to build a planned extension onto the Library Parkade downtown will be more than 50 per cent higher than originally planned. The $6.4 million expansion—up from the original estimate of $4 million—is part of a plan to increase parking downtown. The expansion will be done in conjunction with construction of a new $14.8-million parkade nearby, between the Kelowna Heritage Museum and Memorial Arena, to service a planned new highrise office tower across the street that Interior Health wants to use as its new headquarters. According to city staff, the overall project—including both parkades— is now estimated at $21.3 million, up from the original estimate of $19 million. The city plans to borrow $1 million to help pay See Costs A8

Candidate’s bodyguard makes his presence felt Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Politics in B.C. can be rough. But one Kelowna-Mission independent candidate is ensuring her safety by having a bodyguard on hand at all times during

the campaign. Former NDP candidate Dayleen Van Ryswyk, who was forced to resign by the party after comments she wrote four years ago on an online forum complaining about First Nations and French Canadians came to light, says she has hired a

bodyguard because of threats she has received online. “My husband is very protective of me and wants me to be safe,” Van Ryswyk told the Capital News when asked about the large male bodyguard she has hired.

PETER FEARON pours a tasting of wine at Intrigue Wines’ new wine bar, created using some of the heritage wood and bricks from an old building on their vineyard in Lake Country.

▼ SPRING WINE FESTIVAL

Vintners ready to share their stories Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

For grape growers, harvest may be the culmination of the year’s work, but for vintners, it’s actually bottling the wine that those grapes are crushed to create. It’s when all the events of the previous year, from extreme weather to delightful surprises, are remembered as the wine is poured into bottles, capped, boxed and bundled for shipping, comments Jillian Wong as she and her partners watch bottles of their Intrigue wines clatter by on the bottling line. “It’s very rewarding,” she adds with a smile. Intrigue Wines is one of the newest wineries to open in the Central Okanagan and it makes a group of four in Lake Country, with veteran Gray Monk Estate Winery, Arrowleaf Cellars and Ex Nihilo. Partners Roger Wong, the winemaker, who is also one of the winemakers at Gray Monk, his wife Jillian, who is in business, internet entrepreneur Ross Davis and his wife Geri Davis, who began in the wine industry working for Cascadia Brands and Calona Wines in 1998 and is currently controller at Gray Monk, started Intrigue Wines in 2008 with a small vintage of 500 cases. They increased that by 400 cases every year and last year Ross completed a small wineshop on the corner of Goldie

Although Roger is from Coquitlam and Jillian from New Brunswick; Ross and Geri grew up in the Rutland area, just two blocks away from each other—but they never met until later when they were in their 20s. Their passion for wine is something the two couples have in common, so they enjoy doing the ‘research’ together. Both operate small Lake Country vineyards that supply their winery, and they source some grape varietals from other parts of the valley. The name for the new winery came out of a conversation Jillian and

INTRIGUE Wines partners (left to right) Ross Davis and his wife Geri, Roger Wong and his wife Jillian stop for just a moment during the bottling of their white wines at their Lake Country winery. Roger had about their outlook on wine: how they enjoyed the story behind the wine; but also how it goes with food; and they agreed there’s something about wine and the recollections it often brings— and the word intriguing came out. “Wine is intriguing in the bottle. Everyone looks for something different,” commented Roger. It’s part of the allure of winemaking, they say. “There’s a year’s work in each bottle,” he notes as he watches the mobile bottling company’s efficient operation, pouring tanks of finished fine wine into clean bottles, quickly capping each, then boxing and shrink-wrapping them in bundles, ready to ship. With the help of family and friends, it’s a

very quick finish to what has been a lengthy process, from tilling the ground and putting in supports, to planting vines, praying for good weather, tending them every year until they came into production, pruning, testing, tasting grapes until the right time to harvest, then picking, crushing, performing the winemaker magic in the cellar, sometimes blending, tasting, aging and finally bottling. There are no paper labels on their bottles. Instead a friend of Ross’s, Margaret Kyle of Vernon, designed the label to be painted onto the bottles, with a swirl that represents a tendril from a grape vine, and the name of the winery and the wine. This way there’s no

fuss with labels when bottling and there’s a side benefit: the pretty bottles make great vases once the wine’s been drunk. And, that’s exactly what Routes in Lake Country does with them, comments Roger, with a grin. This year, Intrigue Wines will open a picnic area adjacent to the winery where customers can sit in the sun in the vineyard and sip a glass of wine with breads and baked goods supplied by a neighbour, along with sausages, pate and cheeses. The wineshop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week at this time of year, and the website’s always open www. intriguewines.ca jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Parade for traditional Sikh holiday rolls through Rutland streets Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Rutland Road was flooded with thousands of Okanagan residents wearing bright, traditional Sikh clothing Saturday afternoon as Kelowna celebrated its third annual Vaisakhi parade. Vaisakhi—one of the most significant holidays in the Sikh calendar—commemorates the establishment of the Order of the Khalsa. According to the World Sikh Organization of Canada, the Khalsa refers to the collective body of initiated or amritdhairi Sikhs. Vaisakhi is also the ancient harvest festival in the Punjab region, which marks the beginning of a new year. The event has grown each year and has become known for being inclusive to all residents in the region. “This signifies a coming together of the entire community,” said Kelowna Coun. Mohini Singh. “This is not a Sikh festival, this is a Kelowna festival.” Singh, who identified herself as half Sikh, half Hindu, said this year’s Vaisakhi parade was “bigger and better” than the first two. “The first two set the tone, now this is huge. “I’m really glad to see so many people and see Kelowna being so inclusive.” According to the Okanagan Sikh Temple website, the first Sikh temple was opened in Kelowna May 30, 1982. Substantial growth in the Sikh community led a group, which consisted primarily of volunteers, to begin

Family and friends create magic bubbles for youngster Barry Gerding EDITOR

One person can really make a difference. That age-old expression has taken on fresh meaning to Samantha Venables, a 20-year-old Kelowna student. Venables wanted to do something to help B.C. Children’s Hospital because of all the medical staff have done to help her two-year-old toddler family friend Gabrielle Pinette. Gabrielle was born with a brain tumour lodged behind her right eye which, up to now, had been inoperable. The cancer is of a cell type that has never been identified before on other patients, Venables said. s She has been a frequent visitor to B.C. Childdren’s Hospital for chemo treatments, and now there is a possibility that doctors at a cancer clinic in Boston might be willing to surgically tackle the tumour. “She has just gone through seven weeks of chemo, back and forth from here to the hospital in Vancouver, and will be going for another MRI on April 29 to see what impact it had on the tumour,” said Venables. She said the hope for surgery in Boston would

Gabrielle Pinette be tricky because there are concerns such an operation could leave her permanently disabled, which is why, up to now, surgery has not been recommended. Venables, a student at the Centre for the Arts and Technology, wanted to do something in recognition of the hospital’s care for her friend, and she came up with the idea of a fundraiser she calls The Bubble Run. “I basically wanted to do something that would involve (Gabrielle). She has always loved bubbles, she plays with bubbles for hours, so I thought the name was kind of cute and fitting for her.” But when Venables starting spreading the word about her idea, she quickly found out she was not just one person trying to make a difference, that she had inspired others, relatives and friends of Gabrielle, to help out.

“Initially I had no idea how big the turnout would be, maybe 50 to 100 people. But then other people became aware of the event from out of town, and said they would come to support it. “We’re at 150 confirmed right now and we could get up to 300 people turning out.” The connection between Venables and Gabrielle starts with their mothers, who met in university and have remained friends ever since, both now living in Kelowna. “I’ve been around Gabriele since she was born in August of 2010,” said Venables. “For the most part, she’s like any two-yearold, runs around full of energy. But when she gets seizures or bad headaches, it’s hard for her to be motivated to do anything because of the pain and discomfort.” The Bubble Run will take place Saturday, May 11, with registration starting at 9 a.m. and the run at 10 a.m. on Abbott Street across from Kinsmen Park for the 2.2 kilometre course. The cost is $25 for adults, $15 for children and $40 for a family. Each participant will get a commemorative T-shirt and be eligible for draw prizes that have been donated by supportive

Online threats provide reason for added security Presence from A1 The next day, as Van Ryswyk took part in another all-candidates meeting—this one sponsored by the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce—her bodyguard sat at the back of the room. While Van Ryswyk seemed happy to talk about her need for protection, her bodyguard, who was not identified, said he does not use that term to describe the work he is doing. He simply says that he provides security. He did not say if being a bodyguard is his fulltime job but said he does provide security at local nightclubs. Van Ryswyk has denied accusations of racism concerning remarks she penned in 2009 on a Castanet community forum titled Strip Them Of The Status Card. The forum was started by another writer upset that a non-native person on the

Westbank First Nation reserve had used a WFN member’s status card to buy goods without paying tax. In her comments on the forum, Van Ryswyk said she is tired of aboriginal people receiving “handouts” from the government, feels the “gravy train bubble” is going to burst for aboriginal people in B.C. and feels the debt owed to B.C. natives has been paid “a thousand fold” by her generation. She also said she does not feel her generation should be held responsible for the mistakes of the past. A year later, on the same forum, Van Ryswyk complained about French being used at the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games and said she was tired of French being “pushed down my throat.” “This isn’t Quebec, it’s Western Canada,” she wrote. “We speak Eng-

lish here. So does the majority of Canada. I’m offended that (the) French is spoken first. Why can’t we celebrate Canada’s diverse cultures, everyone, not just natives!” After the B.C. Liberals publicly protested the comments, calling them hateful, NDP leader Adrian Dix asked for, and received, Van Ryswyk’s resignation as the Kelowna-Mission candidate. He called the comments unacceptable. Van Ryswyk was replaced by Tish Lakes and is now running in the riding as an independent candidate. On Friday, at the chamber all-candidates’ meeting,Van Ryswyk accused the Liberals of “making an example” of her by bringing attention to her comments made four years ago. She called it a smear campaign. And she even quoted Okanagan First Nation leader Grand Chief Stewart Philip of the Penticton

FORMER Kelowna-Mission NDP candidate Dayleen Van Ryswyk, (left) now running as an independent, has hired a bodyguard (right) to protect her during the campaign after controversy erupted over her online comments about aboriginal people and French Canadians. Indian Band, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, in criticizing how the Liberal government has tried to woo ethnic voters in this election. On Thursday, she said as a result of the controversy, comments were made on Twitter that she felt threatened by and that’s why she hired the bodyguard.

She added the threats have, for now, changed how she lives her life, but did not elaborate. Van Ryswyk was not aware of any other candidates at the provincial or federal level who had hired bodyguards for protection during campaigning. Despite the threats, though, she said she has

received a lot of support as she knocks on doors in the riding. Following her resignation as NDP candidate,Van Ryswyk issued a public apology to anyone offended by her comments. “I have always championed for equality and fairness for all people, not just those in Canada. I strongly believe that land

claims issues and First Nations have not been treated fairly or with respect and my complete comments reflect that,” she said in an open letter published in the Capital News last week. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t very eloquent in getting that point across and could have been more sensitive in my remarks.”

A fire that broke out early Sunday morning at the Harvest golf course clubhouse was limited to smoke damage. Responding to a 911 call, Kelowna firefighters arrived at the golf course on KLO Road at about 12:09 a.m. Upon arrival, the alarm bells were ringing but there were no visible flames. A further check revealed that cleaning rags in the clubhouse basement had caught fire in a dryer, causing damage to that room. The fire was contained but there was smoke damage throughout the facility. Three fire engines, one rescue vehicle and one command vehicle along with 13 firefighters responded to this incident. There were no injuries from the fire. There was also another fire reported just six minutes later in a shed at the rear of a house at 980 Raymer Rd. When firefighters arrived, the shed was in flames but was distinguished before it could cause more damage. The fire department says the cause of this fire is undetermined at the time but not considered suspicious. Since last Friday, it was the fifth fire as three fires were reported on Friday, one at a residence on Cerise Drive, another in the 400 block of Holbrook Road East and a third in the attic of a home on Carruthers Street.

for the Library Parkade expansion and $14 million to help pay for construction of the new parade. The new structure is expected to be used mainly during the day by Interior Health employees, as many as 1,000 of whom will work in offices in the new tower at Ellis Street and Doyle Avenue. The reason for the increase in the cost of the Library Parkade, according to city staff, is what they call unanticipated

geotechnical remediation work that will be required, as well as expanding the street level retail the city wants to include in the project. It will also include $100,000 worth of public art incorporated into the design of the building, which the city says could be coloured patterns, designs or other artistic elements over seven large areas of the external walls that would normally be partially open, exposing the parking levels to the street below. City Hall has said it

will not include any street level commercial space in the new parkade in order to comply with what has become known as the Simpson Covenant. That document dates back to the 1950s, when Stanley Simpson sold the city the land where Memorial Arena and the parking lot beside now sit, and where the new parkade will be built. The sale agreement stipulated the land was to be for municipal use only, not for commercial purposes. Instead, it will in-

The expansion of the library parkade is slated for the Ellis Street side of the existing structure and is slated to open in the late summer or early fall of 2014. The new 440-stall Ellis Parkade, as it is being called, will open in the fall of 2015 to coincide with the new IH building.

More free parking for car poolers

Kelowna city council has given the green light to provide three free parking spaces to the new Okanagan Car Share Coop. The spaces, two downtown in the city’s Memorial Arena parking lot and one in the city’s Osprey Avenue parking lot in the South Pandosy area, will provide the new car share co-op with places to park their vehicles. The co-op, which expects to start operation this month, will have members whose membership fees help buy cars for all members to share. City regional programs manger Jerry Dombrowsky said car share co-op programs are supported by seven different city plans and giving up the spaces will not cost the city much money. While the Memorial Arena lot charges a total of $5,500 each per year for the two spaces, the Osprey lot stalls are free. Dombrowsky said there are plenty of other city lots in the downtown area that drivers can use if the Memorial Arena lot is full.

Cold front aided by blustery winds Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Portions of the Coquihalla Highway closed Monday with less than 48 hours to go until the month of May, due to heavy snowfall and accidents. And yet, the temperature is not that far off the norm for this time of year, according to Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist. “I would say (the snow-line) was just above the valley bottom,” Lundquist said Monday morning. The snow dusted many hillside homes around Kelowna. The blustery conditions resulted from a strong wind that pushed a cold front in from Alaska over the weekend, bringing with it hail, snow and an ugly breeze that ricocheted down the valley, hitting south of the boarder by mid-day Monday. The actual temperature, meanwhile, hovered between a low of 3C and a high of 9C at the Kelowna International Airport weather station. As cold as it seemed, long-term weather pattern data shows the last 90 days, on average, have actually been half a degree warmer than this period is traditionally, and the last 30 days has been just two-tenths of a degree celsius above average, on average. That might seem colder than usual, Lundquist pointed out, because Easter weekend was blissfully warm, shattering record heat averages.

▼ OUR VIEW

Riot court cases drag on

t has taken so long to resolve, most people have long since forgotten about it, a news item that gets buried in the back pages of the Lower Mainland daily newspapers. We’re talking here about our provincial court system and the Vancouver Police Department in dealing with charges against those who participated in the infamous Stanley Cup riots two years ago. The riots were a devastating psychological blow to Vancouver, and in their aftermath the

provincial government set forth an agenda to charge those responsible. That was two years ago. So far, police have recommend charges against 315 adult and youth suspects, with 133 having pleaded guilty and 65 of those having been sentenced. The Crown has dropped cases against 32 suspects and another 61 formally charged have yet to enter pleas or have pleaded not guilty. In the midst of a provincial election, one would think

the politicians seeking our vote might speak to the issue of the inefficiency of our law courts, how the lawyers are using the system to their advantage rather than the other way around and how the pursuit of justice has been bogged down in endless delays. By the time these cases are all resolved, Roberto Luongo will have long since been traded, the Sedin twins retired and the Vancouver Canucks will be in a rebuilding mode, the dream of winning the Stanley

Cup in Game 7 against the Boston Bruins long since put away in the showcase of the team’s history. Dealing with this issue has dragged on for so long now, the court system is already dealing with probation breaches against many of those who have already been sentenced. It’s another example of how our justice system is in need of some ‘outside the box’ thinking to find more efficiency, but don’t expect to hear about that on the election campaign trail.

While the Liberals have not had to fire any candidates, they have had their share of faux pas moments, with one Lower Mainland candidate’s website linking to hardcore porn, Premier Christy Clark admitting she ran a red light with her 11-year-old son in the car and locally, Kelowna-Lake Country candidate Norm Letnick’s campaign using a volunteer who also happens to be a local radio news reporter. AM1150 says it pulled Wendy McLeod off the air after discovering she was volunteering by writing news

releases for Letnick’s campaign. Astonishingly, the station’s general manger said he knew McLeod was volunteering for the campaign and that was OK. It was only when he discovered her volunteer role was in communications that it was deemed inappropriate. Say what? Reporters covering elections should not be volunteers for candidates at all. In fact, reporters should not work for politicians at any time while they are reporters. Having said that, Letnick’s B.C. Conservative opponent Graeme James overreacted a tad with the hyperbole in a news release on the issue. Titled: I Just Spent $65 Million in

Advertising And All I Got Was This Lousy Radio Anchor, James accused Letnick of poor judgement in accepting McLeod as a volunteer and tried to link the B.C. Liberals spending $65 million in advertising—a move he called “trying to buy the media”—to the McLeod issue. Seems like a bit of a stretch. So, with two weeks to go in the campaign, let’s hope we can get back to what this is supposed to be about— comparing political differences—not who did a lousier job vetting candidates.

Expensive transit serves few real users To the editor: I have been in shock since reading the article: Sneak Peak at RapidBus Transit service Offered, in the April 4 edition of the Capital News. Are you aware of how much this service really is costing and at a time when the provincial government

is head over heels in debt (gross debt in 2012 was $73 billion) and the federal government is trying to climb back to a balanced budget, laying off civil servants, etc. And here we are in Kelowna spending $44.5 million to construct a grossly extravagant transit

service for a couple hundred users. Come on, wake up and smell the roses, we cannot afford this and I very much resent my taxes being spent in such a manner. The $44.5 million cost works out to $300 for every person living in

Kelowna and the District of West Kelowna, which does not sound too outlandish, does it? But if you assume this service will attract 500 regular users (which is definitely on the high side) the cost is now $89,000 per user. What planet are these bureaucrats living on? I

think it is high time we started a tax payers revolt in British Columbia. By the way, the gross provincial debt now stands at $16,000 for every person living in B.C. David Nelson, Kelowna

Federal trade critic criticizes tariff on imports To the editor: Canadians should get ready to pay more for everyday goods. MP Ron Cannan and the Conservative government are imposing a tax grab on families by hiking tariffs on everything from coffee makers to bicycles. A tariff is a tax, and many of the goods sold in Canadian stores come from countries that will soon get caught up in higher tariffs when they are brought into Canada, raising prices. Costs for baby cribs, vacuum cleaners, barbecues and more will go up by an average

of three per cent. All in all, it amounts to a $330 million a year tax grab from families struggling to make ends meet. It will drain our businesses and drive consumers across the border. The measures also hit digital music players too—despite solemn Conservative pledges to never introduce an “iPod tax.” Other tax hikes in the federal budget—on everything from hospital parking to life insurance—will cost Canadians hundreds of millions more. Incredibly, Mr. Cannan and the Conserv-

atives deny up and down that they are raising taxes—as if your wallet somehow just gets lighter all on its own. Canadians understand that governing sometimes requires difficult choices. But Mr. Cannan might find that when his constituents can’t count on their own MP to give them the straight goods on taxes, they start looking for someone who can. Wayne Easter, MP Liberal Party of Canada International Trade Critic

Much gratitude for local health care workers To the editor: One hears a lot about how bad our health care system is in B.C. Recently our family had a great deal to do with the system during a very traumatic period of our lives. I would like to state that we have nothing but praise for the care and treatment received by my wife during the last two months of her life at Kelowna General Hospital, Hospice House and with the palliative team from May Bennett.

From the staff of the emergency, surgical and medical wards we received nothing but the best of care and treatment. The staff of Hospice House were also loving and caring. The surgical ward is in the oldest part of the hospital and is in need of replacement. The staff on that floor do the very best they can under some trying conditions. The medical ward is in the new section of Kelowna General and is less crowded with more space for the staff and patients.

We would like to thank our family doctor Tim Murphy and Dr. Gary Victor and the whole staff of the hospital and Hospice House for the care and concern that was given to our wife and mother during the last days of her life. Thanks also to the palliative care staff of May Bennett for all their help and assistance. The health care system in B.C. may be bent but, it is far from being broken. Lorne Pittman and family.

Blood Services keep flowing thanks to volunteers To the editor: As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, Canadian Blood Services thanks the 17,000 volunteers who dedicated 215,000 hours of their time in the last year to help support Canada’s blood system. In B.C. and the Yukon Region, 1,800 volunteers invested nearly 35,000 hours to assist in more than 2,300 community and clinic events that enable our organization to keep expenses low. Nation-wide, our volunteers are involved

in leading positive change in a variety of ways, all of them vital: They coordinate and host blood donor clinics, greet and assist donors, promote key campaigns throughout the year and publicly speak about the need for blood and stem cell donation. Our volunteers provide considerable value to the donation experience, which is recognized by many of our donors. Their combined efforts and commitment help us to deliver daily on our organization’s services that are so important to many Canadians.

Evening of fine dining raises $345,000 It was a record-breaking fundraising initiative this year for the Canadian Cancer Society. On April 27, the society hosted the annual Daffodil Day Ball at the Sparkling Hill Resort, sponsored by the Thomas Alan Budd Foundation. The Daffodil Ball is a charity gala that allows the society to fund life-saving research, lead cancer prevention initiatives and deliver compassionate support to people affected by

cancer. Kelowna’s ninth annual Daffodil Ball was attended by local philanthropists who gave generously while enjoying an evening of fine dining, auctions and entertainment. “The Daffodil Ball is definitely one of the Okanagan’s most high-profile events,” said Daffodil Ball honourary chair Maxine DeHart, a Kelowna city councillor and business columnist for the Cap-

ital News. “It was extraordinary to be a part of it this year and watch people come together for a fun evening of hope and inspiration.” The gala celebrated the Canadian Cancer Society’s contributions over the last 75 years in supporting families affected by cancer, and also recognized how research, prevention and support programs have made a positive difference for cancer patients and their loved ones. “It was very special for us to be able to present the Ball on April 27, National Daffodil Day,” said Sally Ginter, regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C. and

Yukon division. “It’s a day when all Canadians collectively show their support for people living with cancer by wearing the yellow daffodil pin—a symbol of hope to show that we’re all standing in this fight against cancer together.” Daffodil Day also marks the end of a monthlong campaign, Daffodil Month, designed to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. “Like everything we do,” added Ginter, “Daffodil Month and the Daffodil Ball are only possible because of the generosity of our donors, volunteers and community partners. “On behalf of the Can-

adian Cancer Society, I offer my sincere gratitude to everybody who is helping us make a difference in the fight against cancer.” Daffodil Balls take place in both Kelowna and Vancouver, as well as in Montreal and New Brunswick. Since their inceptions, these events have helped to raise millions for cancer research, support and prevention. For 75 years the Canadian Cancer Society has been with Canadians in the fight for life. The society is committed to the following ideals: Work to prevent cancer, fund cancer cure research and support Canadians touched by cancer.

The consequences of not filing a tax return

CONTRIBUTED

THE Valley First Credit Union team flexed their collective muscles at last year’s Plane Pull fundraiser in support of the United Way.

Valley First pulling for tarmac title The third annual Valley First Plane Pull is returning to the Kelowna airport (YLW) tarmac on May 10. Following up on last year’s success, Valley First and the United Way will be looking to top the $44,000 raised in 2012. The stakes are high as local 12-person teams representing businesses and associations will be priming their pulling muscles as they prepare to drag an 8,000 kilo-

gram aircraft over a 20 foot course—all in the name of gaining bragging rights and the title of fastest team. “The Plane Pull is a terrific event,” said Valley First’s Central Okanagan regional manager Jocelynn Wells. “It has grown yearover-year, attracting more teams and, more importantly, more dollars for the United Way. “At Valley First, we pride ourselves on being

a good neighbour, so it’s great to be able to lend our name to an event that has such a positive impact on the community.” Last year’s Valley First Plane Pull attracted 33 teams with the winning team from Kelowna Flightcraft taking the top spot on the podium with a pull time of 9.29 seconds. While Wells hasn’t seen the team registrations yet, she is expecting some fierce competition. “There’s nothing like a bit of friendly competition to get people motivated,” said Wells. “Last year, our Valley First team didn’t blow the field away. However, we’ve been on a strict training program providing locally-focused financial advice. “Hopefully, that will give us some kind of advantage.” All proceeds raised

during the event go to United Way and will be used to support children, vulnerable adults and seniors throughout the community. During 2012, Valley First and its employees donated more than $350,000—$65,000 in Kelowna alone—to various charities, events and community organizations as well as volunteering more than 1,100 hours of their own time. As well, Valley First strengthened its partnerships with local food banks, raising more than $148,000 and collecting 32,000 pound of food through its Feed the Valley program. Valley First is a division of First West Credit Union, B.C.’s third-largest credit union, which has 40 branches and 29 insurance offices throughout the Lower Mainland.

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURISM

Create an Okanagan path for ‘technopreneurship’ to flourish

have spent a considerable portion of my professional life immersed within the world of technology and innovation. From government laboratories to university science and engineering lab tables to domestic and foreign manufacturing production, I have been privileged and held in my hands the fantasy of the many talented dreamers who have come into my life to share their visions of change in the world. For these experiences, I have many blessings. And when I choose to inbed the realm of entrepreneurial ingredients into the mix, I can’t help but wonder where we can go from here at a local, regional or national level through technological transformation. This week, I thought we would explore what it might take a region such as our beloved Okanagan to genuinely foster technological entrepreneurship. The Okanagan community leaders that I have encountered emphasize infrastructure such as capital markets and good legal systems to effectively process technological advances. Governments, in my career journey, have often attempted to promote “technopreneurship” by injecting risk capital. Ouch, I say. They distribute such funds through a variety of channels, small business development centres being one that comes to mind. An assumption is made in this re-

absolute importance of unfettered collaboration and cooperation among, in our case, Okanagan industry, business, academic and government sectors. It is no scientific secret that effectiveness of such partnering activities will largely determine our Okanagan region’s ability to create high-value jobs and careers, educate, attract and retain talent; and to accelerate economic growth while sustaining a high quality of life for people who choose to live here. In my history with the federal government and since, I have interacted with many U.S. technology research organizations. Recently, I discovered a renewal of my exposure of days gone by from IC2 Institute at the University of Texas at Austin in a report they had completed for a Canadian client which sums up nicely the question of regional transformation through technological entrepreneurship. The report outlined five key strategies: • facilitate successful recruitment of companies and talent in targeted industry sectors • assist in the growth of local technology-based organizations • assist in the incubation and accelerated-growth, of regionally based, globally competitive companies • leverage regional public and private assets more effectively, as well

as national and international partnerships These strategies for success could realistically be our Okanagan strategies, could they not? Consider these options: • accelerate technology-based business development in established and emerging industry clusters with the greatest growth potential • develop the Central Okanagan as an emerging centre of “technology-based” entrepreneurship • foster academic and research excellence that is specifically linked to regional economic development. • foster and leverage national, regional, provincial and global value-added partnerships and alliances. Promote a common vision and co-ordinated action agenda targeted to brand the Central Okanagan as an important emerging centre of technology-based entrepreneurship and small business development. Now, recognizing that elements of these words are in place, underway or at least have been identified prompts me to think we have the collective power and ability to move these agendas forward to success for our Okanagan region.

He said this kind of partnership will enhance geography students’ experience—particularly in the areas of mapping and locating biodiversity indicators—so that they are moving beyond theory into practical applications. “In essence, this is bridging service learning with co-op learning,” he said. “The students are excited because this means it will get them out of their chairs and looking at the world they are going to be working in.” For more information about the OCCP, visit the program’s website at www.okcp.ca.

▼ VS NORTH DELTA

i p d r

Jr. Athletics split games

The Okanagan Junior Athletics split four games with North Delta as both the senior and junior A’s were in action in Kelowna on the weekend. David Tongue of the Junior Athletics started the weekend off on the right foot for the Junior A’s as he tossed a complete game four hitter as the A’s defeated North Delta 7-3 to open the four game set. A five-run second inning was enough offensive support for Tongue, who struck our four in the win. In the night-cap on Saturday, North Delta scored 13 runs in the final three innings of the contest to come back and score a 14-7 victory.

Sunday the teams also split a double-header as the Junior Athletics won 4-2 before losing 3-2. In the win, Brandon Belbin tossed a complete game to earn the win, allowing just one earned run in seven innings of work. Parker Friesen scored twice and drove in a run at the plate. Once again North Delta would bounce back in the second game of the day, beating Okanagan 3-1 as Trevor Pereverzoff drove in the club’s lone run. The Junior Athletics are 7-5 on the season so far, fourth place in the BCJPBL.

••• The Okanagan Athletics senior team earned just a single win on the weekend in four games against the BCPBL’s first place Abbotsford Cardinals. After dropping two one-run games on Saturday by 3-2 and 6-5 scores, the Athletics got on the winning side early Sunday as Morgan Lofstrom earned the win in relief, tossing four innings and striking our four along the way. Offensively Dawson Yates drove in two runs in the victory. Another one-run loss capped off the weekend for the A’s as they lost 6-5 to the Cardinals.

Bowey scores key goal as Canada wins World U-18 tourney

Kelowna Rockets defenceman Madison Bowey may have been a little late in joining his teammates in Sochi, Russia for the 2013 World Under-18 Hockey Championships, but the Winnipeg native quickly became an important part of the Team Canada blueline. Bowey scored one of the biggest goals of his career in a 3-2 win over Team USA as Canada

claimed the gold medal at the World U-18 championships, wrestling the title from the USA, who had won the event four straight years. Bowey scored midway through the second period in Sunday’s gold medal game, tying the score at 2-2 and switching the momentum in the game as Canada added the winning goal later in the second period.

And despite playing in Russia, the Canadians were a crowd favourite and were urged on by the Russian fans in the third period as the crowd of approximately 6,000 at the Bolshoy Ice Dome was chanting “Canada, Canada, Canada.” “I thought it was pretty cool to have that support,” Bowey told CBC sports after the Canadian teenagers held on to the one-

goal lead and won the U-18 title. Laurent Dauphin and Frederik Gauthier also scored for the Canadian side, who won the gold medal for the first time since 2008. It’s the third gold medal at the U-18 world championship. Overall, Canada has won five medals since first taking part in 2002: three gold (2003, 2008, 2013), one silver (2005) and one

bronze (2012). Bowey was added to the Team Canada roster when the Rockets were eliminated from the second round of the WHL playoffs. He flew to Russia on his own and joined the team for the first round robin game. On a blog on Hockey Canada’s web site, Bowey wrote that the team had great chemistry. “Everyone on the

team is willing to buy in and play whatever role it takes to win the gold medal, which is very important in a short event like this,” he said. “We’re a very supportive team and everyone will have each other’s backs when the times are rough, so when it comes down to the big games I know everyone will be ready to go.” Canada finished first in Group B in the prelim-

Rutland’s Drew to suit up for Heat one choice” after having lived in Kelowna and having watched the team a lot at home on UBC’s Okanagan campus. Although she has experience with Steve through the Junior Heat, Drew said she’s excited to suit up for real under the reigning CIS coach of the year, who helped guide the team to its first ever Canada West playoff berth in only its second season in the CIS. Erin is also already

keen on what she thinks she can bring as an immediate impact for the

squad next season: “For middle, I think my defense is good and I am able to see the court and the block well when hitting. I feel have the potential to improve my game, having only played competitively for three club seasons. Off the court, I hope to build good friendships with the team and have a fun season.” Erin is the second recruit Manuel has inked for

next season, as she will be joining the Heat next fall with Michelle Jakszuk, an outside hitter from Gibsons.The roster is nearly full the two recruits and with Chandler Proch rejoining the squad after missing last season with an injury. The team looks to utilize the new talent and build on its playoff run next season as they are only set to lose Alex Basso to graduation.

One of the top senior high school volleyball players in the valley has decided to keep her skills right at home. Rutland Senior Secondary product Erin Drew has committed to the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s squad for the 2013-14 Canada West season. Drew, a 6-foot-1 middle blocker with the Voodoos, was a past member of the Junior Heat volleyball program and has been watched closely over the years by UBCO head coach Steve Manuel. “Erin is a dynamic athlete that has developed into a very solid player,” Manuel said. “She moves well, is fast, with a quick arm, all great attributes for a middle blocker.” A senior girls all-star at the Okanagan Valley AAAA championships in 2012, Drew already has a foundation for the poise and experience needed for dealing with the spotlight and expectations she will face at the CIS level. She will join an already formidable pair of third year middle blockers in Katy Klomps and Katie Wuttunee “But look for Erin to make her mark before too long,” adds Manuel who likes Erin’s athletic ability and sees her demeanor as another of her strong assets. “We like her competitiveness along with the calm presence that she brings to the court. At the rate she has been developing, we expect that she will have a very successful career in a Heat uniform.” Erin has been accepted to the Bachelor of Science program and is excited for what she has called a “great school” academically. The RSS product hopes to translate her high school academic success into her university career. She has been a consistent 4.0 GPA student who scored a 5 on her Biology AP exam. Drew said UBC Okanagan was her “number

Warriors pick up 4 Sask. AAAs West Kelowna Warriors head coach and general manager Rylan Ferster has had his GM’s hat on since the Warriors were eliminated from the BCHL playoffs by Penticton. And the Warriors have now announced four player commitments from midget AAA players who

played in Saskatchewan last season. A trio of players come from the Prince Albert Mintos, the same minor hockey team current Warrior Matt Anholt played for, while a fourth comes from the Tisdale Trojans. The list includes a shifty offensive player, a two way forward, a power

forward and a goalie. Kylar Hope tallied 12 goals, and nine assists in just 18 games played last year. “Kylar is one of the slickest players that I have watched over the course of the year,” said Ferster, a Saskatchewan native himself. Also committing to the Warriors from Prince Albert were forward Adam Osczevski, a twoway player that can really skate, and Tanner Bugrardt, a starting goalie the past two seasons with Prince Albert.

“Adam is a great skater that works hard every shift. He is a no nonsense guy that will bring a physical edge every night,” said Ferster. “Tanner has just plain and simple stopped pucks the last two years. His calm demeanor in the net is exactly what we were looking for.” Power forward Connor Bucsis is a big player who at 6-foot-2 also has a very good offensive touch with 15 points in 16 games last year for Tisdale. “Connor attended

Bears beat hosts in Owls’ tourney final The latest chapter in the Battle of the Bridge in high school girls soccer goes to the Mt. Boucherie Bears. In the final of the annual KSS Owls tournament Saturday afternoon, the Bears emerged with a 3-1 victory over the host team. The Bears jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead by the 19-minute mark on two

goals by Haylee Lakovic and another by Jordan Tassone. The Owls answered back before the end of the half on a goal by Megan Witala to make it 3-1. In the second half, the Owls pressed but could draw no closer as the Bears secured the gold. “KSS really began pushing back, but we

managed to weather the storm and hold them off,” said Bears coach Adrian Zuyderduyn. “Both teams played really well.” Boucherie opened the seven-team tournament with a 6-0 win over RSS, before losing in a shootout to Sutherland. Boucherie then defeated the OKM Huskies, before knocking off Mt.

Baker 1-0 in the crossover game to advance to the final. The tournament MVPs for Boucherie were Emina Arima, Haylee Lakovic, and Jontaya Mayer. KSS defeated Vanderhoof 11-0, Mt. Baker 2-0 and Sutherland 4-0 to reach the final. The battle for Okanagan girls’ soccer su-

premacy will resume Monday, May 6 when the Owls and Bears meet again in the last contest of the valley regular season, a game which will, in all likelihood, decide first place. The Okanagan Valley playoffs begin Thursday, May 9, with the final to be played Wednesday, May 15.

Junior Raiders drub defending champs

s s

After missing the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs last season, the Kelowna Raiders felt they had something to prove in 2013. Three games into the enew season, no one is e ndoubting that the Raiders n tmean business. t Kelowna pushed its regular season record to n3-0 Thursday night at Men tmorial Arena with a 21-6 t dismantling of the de-fending champion Kamloops Venom. l Veterans Brendan l ,Urban (3g, 4a) and Scott ,

Renner (1g, 6g) tallied seven points each as the Raiders broke open a close game in the second period, scoring nine times, then adding nine more in the third period. Head coach Travis Wray said his squad took to the floor fired up and motivated to play their home opener. “We came out with good hunger and desire from the start and Kamloops came out flatfooted,” said Wray. “Our guys had this look in their eyes, they have a job to do after what happened last year.”

“Kamloops didn’t have an answer for our fast break,” Wray added, “this is the fastest team I’ve ever coached and the (Venom) didn’t have an answer for it.” While Urban and Renner led the way, the Raiders had contributions from up and down the lineup. Rylan Davidson scored four times and added an assist, Andrew McMillan had a hat-trick and two assists, while Brock Embury, Evan Helgesen, Justin Algar, Quinn Johnson-Plant each scored twice as Kelowna outshot

Kamloops 63-37. “We have so much depth that even if teams shut down our top guys, we having scoring coming from a lot of other places,” said Wray. The Raiders return to action Thursday when they host the Vernon Tigers, 7:30 p.m. at Memorial. With about 20 returnees, Wray expects the Tigers to be one of the teams to beat this season in TOJLL.

The Okanagan College Coyotes baseball team continued an early season set of out-of-town games on the weekend, splitting four in Calgary in the Canadian College’s Baseball Conference.

plete game, allowing just three runs and nine hits in the 11-3 thrashing of the Dinos. The OC offence really broke out in the weekend opener as catcher Tyler Pentland had an outstanding game with three hits, two runs scored and four runs batted in while Andy Scott had a solo home run. Braden Heyland and Aidan Mcvea each had two RBI while Garrett Wiese had three hits as the Coyotes kicked off the four game weekend on the right foot. In a seven inning game on Saturday, OC gave up five early runs before they got into the game and scored the next seven, including three in extra innings for an 8-5 win. With the game tied 5-5 in the top of the 8th, Heyland doubled and scored on a McVea single before Wiese singled to score two more runs in the win. On Sunday it was a different story as TRU handed OC a pair of losses in Calgary. TRU ace Waturu Asaoka as he pitched a complete game and allowed just six hits and three runs

in an 8-3 win. The Coyotes used three freshmen on the hill with starter Taylor Thomas (1.2 innings, 7 hits and 5 runs) taking the loss. Jordan Britnell tossed three innings and struck out five while Brendan Bergan tossed the last 2.1 innings and didn’t allow a run. In the weekend closing game the Coyotes outhit the Wolfpack but TRU put up more runs in the 7-3 win. Alex Reid was the winning pitcher and Gage Mclaren was the loser with both hurlers going the distance. Andy Scott had a pair of hits and drove in two runs for the Coyotes while Dallas Senger, Garret Weise, and Brennan Reidy each had doubles. OC made three errors to none for TRU. OC will play at Elks Stadium in Kelowna this coming weekend for the first time in nearly six weeks as it hosts TRU and Vancouver Island in a four game weekend.

Garden centres and nurseries in full swing preparing for spring

Save-On-Foods hosts BBQ for B.C. Children’s Hospital

efore I begin my gardening column, I want to congratulate everyone involved in the Tae Kwon-Do International Open Canadian Championships held last Saturday at the Rutland Secondary gymnasium. Thanks to the volunteers from referees, timekeepers, ticket takers, ticket servers, door staff and set up and take-down crew who arrived early and stayed late. Thanks as well to the competitors, in particular those who travelled from great distances such as Texas and the UK. I am now heading into my sixth tear of a journey in Tae Kwon Do which has enhanced my life so much. This tournament which brings together so many players from the original TKD art as well as karate and other forms of TKD is testament to the camaraderie and commitment of participants in all the martial art forms. One of the highlights I look forward to each time this tournament

is held is to speak to Grand Master C.K. Choi, who is one of the original pioneers of Tae Kwon Do and who epitomizes the essence of the art. I was also Don Burnett thrilled to meet 13-year-old black belt Anna Williams, who is European Champion and travelled all the way from Wales with her father. She put on an amazing performance and displayed why she is the European champion. Finally, one final big thank you to Chris Rowe for all his efforts to organize this tournament together and to Senior Master Dan Zaleski for his guidance and support in my continuing journey. Now back to the topic of the day, gardening seasons, which is in full swing with garden centres and nurseries stocked up on plants and garden related items. Also, there are several plant sales on the calendar including the St. Mary’s Anglican Church event on Saturday, May 4, from 9 a.m. to noon. The plant sale location is 2710 East Kelowna Rd. with coffee

FROM THE GROUND UP

and muffins to be served as well. I will keep you updated on other plant sales coming up in May. On Wednesday, May 1, Iwill be speaking to the Kelowna Garden Club and my main topic will be how to determine the monetary value of a tree. I’m called on as a certified arborist to appraise trees for their value by insurance adjusters, builders and municipalities, and there is a set methodology used to get an accurate figure. I will share this with members of the garden club and visitors as well as other timely gardening advice. The meeting is at the First Lutheran Church, 4091 Lakeshore Rd., 7:30 pm. I look forward to seeing you there. This week’s garden tip is to let the foliage of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and other spring blooming bulbs do its job of replenishing the bulb beneath the surface of the soil. Don’t cut the tops back until they show signs of decline. If you want to do any transplanting or splitting then mark where the plants are and dig them in July. The bulbs can be either planted again right away or saved in a dry state until fall.

Kelowna residents are invited to a weekend full of family fun during the B.C. Children’s Hospital’s BBQ for Kids. This two-day fundraising event will be held at the Orchard Plaza SaveOn-Foods June 1 to 2 and will help raise money to meet the needs of sick children across the province. Last year, 556 children from Kelowna made 1,357 visits to BC Children’s Hospital. Save-On-Foods team members and customers also support the work of Child Health BC, an in-

itiative of B.C. Children’s Hospital aimed at ensuring all the province’s kids have access to specialized care closer to home. Saturday, June 1 promises to be an exciting day as semi-pro and amateur chefs fire up their grills and enter their creations into one of three categories—Best Burger, Chef’s Top Dish and People’s Choice Best Sauce. Events kick off at 11 a.m. with pulled pork sandwiches, events on stage, live music and a family dance from 6 to 9 p.m.

The main event takes place on Sunday, June 2, as the final day of the BBQ competition heats up at 11 a.m. This is an officially sanctioned event by the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association. Throughout the day, the public will be invited to cheer on the BBQ teams from across the Pacific Northwest as well as enjoying live music, prize draws and fun for the entire family until 5 p.m. For more information on this event or to enter, visit www.bbqforkids.ca.

Are your trinkets trash or treasure? The Kelowna Art Gallery will host a visit from Anthony Westbridge, of Westbridge Fine Arts in Vancouver, and local art and antiques appraiser Peter Blundell, for Antiques in the Attic. The opportunity to have your family trinkets or heirlooms checked out for historical significance will take place Friday, May 10, and Saturday, May 11, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The two will look over art, antiques and collectibles. The cost per 15-minute session is $40 for members, and $50 for non-members. Each session allows for viewing of up to three items, subject to the time constraint. To make an appointment to have your item assessed, call the Kelowna Art Gallery at 250-762-2226.

With sadness I announce the passing of Willy Galka on April 23, 2013 at age 77. He leaves his loving wife Renate to whom he was married 48 years. Also surviving are his Brothers Manfred, Edmonton, Alfred and Ehrenfried both of Berlin Germany, and a Sister Hiltraut in Australia. Willy was born in Berlin Germany on June 18, 1935 and immigrated to Canada in 1960 where he met Renate. Willy worked for the Dana Canada Corporation in Ontario for 32 years. Upon retirement 12 years ago Willy and Renate moved to West Kelowna. He then became very active with the West Kelowna Community Policing Society as a Volunteer. He was a very dedicated Volunteer and enjoyed the people he worked with. Willy was a devoted and loving husband to Renate and was the type of person who was always there for you if you needed help. He was kind, unselfish and always put the needs of other people ahead of himself. The last few years were difficult for Willy and Renate and we thank the Cancer Clinic, Kelowna General Hospital and the Hospice House as well as all of the Staff in these Organizations. Renate will host a Celebration of Willy’s Life in June at her home. Funeral arrangements by First Memorial Funeral Home, Kelowna and will be followed by Cremation. Renate would like to offer a Special Thank You to all of her friends and neighbors who were there for support. “Thank you, I will never forget.”

FRANK, ARNOLD We are saddened to announce the passing of Arnold Frank on April 22, 2013 at the age of 84. He was born October 16, 1928 in Pukinin, Poland. Arnold will be lovingly remembered by Doris, his devoted wife of 53 years, along with his two children Mark (Shannon) and Simone (Randy) Hardy as well as his four grandchildren Amanda, Vanessa, Josh and Matt. Arnold also leaves behind his sister Alice Schmidt, his brother Halfdan (Christel) as well as his extended family and treasured friends. He was predeceased by his parents Theodor and Berta and his sister Hilde Juergens. After living the early years of their marriage in Edmonton and Winfield, Arnold and Doris settled in Westbank after finding the stunning lakeshore property where they would raise their family and create a beautiful resort that others could also enjoy. Boucherie Beach Resort became a special place that created cherished memories for so many over the wonderful 48 years that it belonged to the family. Arnold will always be remembered for his love of working hard, his ability to fix almost anything, his loving devotion to his family, his quiet and gentle strength and his unwavering Christian faith. Although he will be greatly missed, his loved ones are reassured in the fact that he is now and forever in God’s loving embrace. A Funeral Service will be held Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 11:00 am at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 2091 Gordon Drive, Kelowna, BC. Reception to follow.

Irene Lottie Welsh passed away peacefully on April 25th at the age of 86 years. She is lovingly remembered by her son Jim (Carol), son George (Bev), daughter Sharon (Martin), daughter Doreen, son Wayne (Nicole), along with 11 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews and many friends. Irene was predeceased by her loving husband Cyril, all of her siblings, her parents, numerous family members and son-in-law John Martin. Mom was a member of the Catholic Women’s League and enjoyed countless hours of volunteer services at The Share Depot. She loved camping with friends and family, playing cards which was always full of laughter and silly antics. She was fortunate enough to travel to many beautiful destinations and enjoyed her retirement to the fullest. Her beautiful smile, sparkling eyes and sense of humor was radiant until the very end. We will all miss her jovial laughter, and the reminiscing of all she had accomplished in her youthful years. For those of us fortunate enough to share in her life realized she was a woman full of wonderful stories and could write a book for all she had been through. We have been truly blessed to have such a wonderful mother, friend and companion and our hearts are full knowing she is embraced in the loving arms of God and the Angels. She left us with a smile, knowing her journey here was complete and returned home to her loving husband and family waiting in heaven above. You will be so missed and we are forever blessed to have shared our lives, love and laughter with you. You were the best that God had to offer, and we thank you for teaching us what Love truly is. Viewing will take place on Wednesday May 1st 3:00 ~ 5:00 pm at Valleyview Funeral Home. Funeral Mass will take place on Thursday May 2nd at 11:00 am at St. Pius X Church, 1077 Fuller Avenue with Father Francis and Father Mulvihill officiating. Irene will be laid to rest at 2:00 pm at Lakeview Memorial Gardens Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Salvation Army.

Chief Tomat Elementary School There once was a girl who had a curl....

Brynne, Javon, Soren, Emily, Samantha, Chris, Dominick, Quinn, and Arianna went all out for Crazy Hair Day.

Resident artist, Dawn Emerson works with each

class to create a new mural for the school foyer and stairwell. The finished mural will honour our individual and shared heritage. It will also represent the ideas and artwork of this year’s entire student body.

In Grandpa’s workshop After learning how to write dialog, Mrs. Vinnedge’s grade 2 students wrote stories showcasing conversations in Grandpa’s workshop. By Emily “Hey, Papa,” said Lisa. “Hi, Lisa.” “What are you building right now papa?” “I’m building a sail boat for your dolls,” answered Papa. “Can I help you?” asked Lisa. “Sure, if you want.” “Look. We are almost done!” “Let’s put on the sail.” “Yay! We are done!” “Now you can go play with it.” “Thanks, Papa!” By Yash “Hi, Grandpa,” Lily said. “What are you doing? Can I help? I wanna build.” “Okay said Grampa.” “Lets make a boat.” “How do we build it?” said Lily “Follow the instructions,” Said Grampa. By Dominick Lily said, “What are you making?” “I am making a boat. Do you want to help me? said Grandpa. “Yes I do want to. What are we making? A boat?” “That’s right,” Granpa said. “Nice!” By Makayla Penelope was staying over at her grandpa’s house. “Grandpa, where’s grandma?” Penelope said. “She is at the grocery store,” Grandpa said. “Grandpa, you want to go build a toy boat?” Penelope said.

“Sure. Let’s go,” Grandpa said. “First, we should wirte it on a piece of paper.” Penelope said. When they were all done, and grandma came home, they all went in the pool with the boat. It was fun.

Granpa’s and Lily’s Pirate Ship By Soren Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She was having a turkey dinner with her family. When everyone was done, Lily and her Grandpa snuck out into the garage to build a wooden toy pirate ship. First, they needed to build the base of the ship but because the base was already together, they just needed a long slab to put across the middle. Next, they needed a drill to create a hole in the middle to put the sail holder in. Grandpa asked, “Can you pass me that cloth please and can you also pass me those scissors?””Thank-you Lily. We need to cut out a triangle, that will be our sail.””Good job Lily! Next, let’s attach the sail to the middle holder. Lily, Can you measure and cut the yarn to the length of the sail?” “Sure thing Gramps!” Grandpa used the yarn to tie the sail on. “Wow!” “This sail blows in the wind like a feather!” said Lily and Granpa at the same time. An hour later, Mom came in the garage. She didn’t expect Lily and Grandpa to jump out and say, “Surprise!” There was Mom, staring at the newly built pirate ship. She said, “That looks like a newly built pirate ship from Black Beard’s fleet.” “Congratulations Lily,” said Grandpa. “You just built your own pirate ship! Take it to your room Lily. It’s yours.” “So that’s what you two were up to, smiled Mom.”

Grade 2 personal writing Before 10 o’clock Today By Quinn

Before 10 o’clock today, we went to the computer [room] and I played the jet ski game. We had a snack and a story. Some people did the spelling test and some people did the Journals. We are going to do math. I feel as happy as my birthday because I get to do math.

The Best Book By Chris

The best book is about a kid and a moose. The mom and dad have to chase around the garden three times and then the moose have to chase the mom and dad around the garden three times. And then they all fall over. I am bringing it to school on the 29th. It is a really funny story.

Poetry by Mrs.Vinnedge’s grade twos Feeling Purple By Sahia

Happy is purple like violets and also like a soft blanket. It twirls through my mind. It reminds me of grass dancers with their fringes. It reminds me of the time when I went in the Powwow in Kelowna It makes me feel loved like flowers. It makes me want to whirl.

Feeling Blue By Corbin

Happy is blue like whales and also like the world from space. It runs through my heart. It reminds me of my birthday. It reminds me of the time I first got on the ice. It makes me feel excited like seeing the sun. It makes me want to jump.

Feeling Red By Nate

Red is burning like fire and also like destruction. It burns through my body. It reminds me of a forest fire. It reminds me of the time we had a fire in Rose Valley. It makes me feel scared like when I almost got burnt. It makes me want to run away.

Feeling Happy By Yash

Happy is indigo like bluebells and also like forgivmenots. It jumps through my mind. It reminds me of when I played with my friends. It reminds me of the time when I first lerned to swim. It makes me feel good like blosums. It makes me want to get up and jump.

Snowflakes By Amber

Some are Big and some are small. Sparkle like glitter Fall gently like feathers Look Like balls of cotton Dance when they fall

Feeling Blue By Makayla

Blue is happy like January and also like Me. It goes through my mind like Music. It reminds me of fun times with my friends. It reminds me of the time when I got my puppy. It makes me feel Happy like a flower. It makes me want to jump.

Snow By Yash

puffy like pillows sparkling like diamonds Icicle chimes like glass. Chief Tomat Elementary students joined students from all over Kelowna to enjoy the April 22 afternoon performance of “How Canada Came to Be,” created by Glenmore Elementary teacher Rhonda Draper and performed by Glenmore Elementary students and members of the Okanagan Symphony. Trinity Baptist Church provided the ideal venue for the production, which was marvelous for its scope, quality and educational value.

ADULT AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER CROSS NEUTERED MALE

Tony is a charmer. He can run like the wind and cuddle like a cat. He is a young dog who just enjoys life and everything in it. Make no mistake, he is true to his breed and is a high energy dog who will require both mental and physical challenges. The breed excels at challenges and wants to please. He should go to a home that is active because he will get bored quickly if left to his own resources in a backyard. But if you know the breed and is willing to give him the kind of home he needs and deserves, please ask the Kelowna SPCA Staff to meet him. Yes, you will fall in love we did!

Adopt a Pet and take

Hi everyone, my name is Piper! I came to the shelter with my ‘brother’ Amos and am now waiting to be your next best addition to the family. I am very sweet and would love the chance to be your best friend. I would do best if I have someone to bond with as I like routine. Due to my ‘somewhat’ shy nature a home with no young children would suit me best. If you would like to meet me, please ask Staff for an introduction.

She is a bit shy at first meeting, but we believe that she will quickly adapt to her new family and environment. Lula is the typical puppy who loves to play and run and enjoy life. She has been around children and is, for the most part, good with them - she is a puppy after all, so she has to be taught her puppy manners. She would surely ‘ace’ puppy obedience classes. If you think Lula would be a good addition to your family, please ask the Kelowna SPCA to meet with this cutie. Don’t fall in love with her looks - fall in love with her soul.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen eats with wine Whether it’s a simple dinner to serve the family or a more sophisticated dish to prepare for company, using a little wine to add rich flavour can turn an uninspired dish into something very special. These are both simple recipes, enlivened with the use of a dollop of fine Okanagan wine and fresh herbs. This week marks the beginning of the 10-day Spring Okanagan Wine Festival, May 2 to 12, with dozens of events around the valley, including many wine and food pairing opportunities. It kicks off with the Best of Varietal Awards in Penticton May 2 and continues the next two evenings with the Westjet Wine Tastings at the Rotary Centre in Kelowna, 7 to 9:30 p.m. In the Central Okanagan, there are a number of wine trails, where a group of wineries can be visited during a day to taste their offerings and see how they grow the grapes and make wine. They range from Lake Country to East Kelowna, the Mission area to West Kelowna and include some world class wineries, a number of which offer either full meals as well, or light food to enjoy with a glass of wine. Sommelier Paul Clark is an entertaining and knowledgeable guide into pairing wine with food, and he’s offering a series of sessions at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort, beginning with Sinful Pairings of Chocolate and Wine May 4 and 11; Tour of the Valley May 5; Art of Pairing Cheese and Wine May 7; Sweet and Savoury May 9. Contact the Grand Bay Cafe at the hotel for details. Or, on May 10, support aspiring chefs by attending the The Cheesiest Sweet and Savoury Competition at Okanagan College to taste and sip, then vote for your favourites. For more fabulous food, join celebrity chefs Ned Bell and Matt Batey at Mission Hill Family Estate for a Spring Epicurean Dinner featuring local foods; or eat amongst the barrels of aging wine at Quails’ Gate for delicious local food and wines, and a winemakers’ tour and barrel tasting. Nearby, a new restaurant opens at Volcanic Hills with East Indian cuisine at Lazeez Saturday afternoon, May 11. Alternatively, make your own wine-paired meal from recipes in my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available at local wine boutiques and bookstores, and including wine pairing notes by esteemed wine writer John Schreiner.

Saucy Chicken in Wine

I use chicken thighs because they’re so tasty and can be purchased at a reasonable price. Don’t be intimidated by the use of wine; use less wine and more chicken stock, to your taste. This would be excellent paired with a B.C. VQA cabernet sauvignon. 2 lb. (1 kg) chicken parts drizzle of olive oil 1-2 tbsp. (15-30 ml) butter 1/2 lb. (227 g) mushrooms 8 small onions 1 stalk celery 2 carrots 2 tbsp. (30 ml) flour 1 1/2 c. (375ml) red wine 1/2 c. (125 ml) chicken stock 1 tsp. (5 ml) tarragon 1 tsp. (5 ml) thyme 1 clove garlic salt and pepper, to taste 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh parsley, to garnish

OOPS! Apologies for last week's omission of the quantity of asparagus in the Sesame Shrimp & Asparagus recipe. I'd use about a half pound and add it with the red peppers, near the end of the cooking.

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Remove all skin and visible fat from the chicken parts. Briefly brown them in a skim of oil flavoured with a dab of butter in a Dutch oven or deep frypan. Meanwhile, cut large mushrooms into quarters, but leave small ones whole. Leave tiny onions whole, but cut larger ones into chunks. Trim and chop celery and carrots. Remove the chicken from the pot. Soften the onions and mushrooms in the oil remaining in the pot and add flour, stirring for a few minutes until it’s bubbly. Add a dry, red wine and stir over medium-high heat until it bubbles, is reduced by about one third and thickens. Add hot chicken stock. Return chicken to the pot and add remaining ingredients. Cover and put into the oven for about half an hour. Check chicken for doneness, taste for seasoning and serve over brown rice, whole wheat pasta or small whole, steamed potatoes. Serves 4-5.

Codfather's Lobster Risotto

This recipe of chef Tyler Groenestyn’s is rich and creamy and delicious. Codfather’s lobster stock is really yummy and would be lovely in a chowder too. Master of Wine Rhys Pender of WinePlus recommends pairing this with the Quails Gate chardonnay, and he knows his wines! 2 lobster tails 4 c. (1 l) Codfather’s lobster stock 2 shallots 2 garlic cloves 2 tbsp. (30 ml) olive oil 1 c. (250 ml) arborio or carnarolli rice 1/2 c. (125 ml) white wine 4 oz. (114 g) butter 1/2 c. (125 ml) fresh parmesan cheese salt and pepper, to taste 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh tarragon

Cook the lobster tails in simmering salted water for six to eight minutes. Remove the

meat from the shells and cut it into one-inch pieces. Heat lobster stock and keep it warm over low heat. Mince shallots and garlic. Heat a pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook shallots and garlic until translucent. Add rice and continue cooking for a couple of minutes, turning about in the pot. Add half the lobster stock and cook, continuously stirring, until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add the remainder of the stock a quartercup at a time, continuously stirring, until all the stock has been used. Taste the rice to ensure it is cooked all the way through. Add the cut-up, cooked lobster meat, butter and grated, fresh parmesan cheese. Fold it all together until it is fully mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped fresh tarragon. Serves 2-3.
