▼ BALLET KELOWNA
City comes through with $33,000 grant
Alistair Waters
ASSISTANT EDITOR
Ballet Kelowna’s survival has been rewarded with a $30,000 operating grant from the city. Kelowna city council had held off awarding the local dance company the annual grant earlier this spring because of uncertainty about Ballet Kelowna’s future. But city cultural services manager Sandra Kochan said following an initial decision by Ballet Kelowna to shut down at the end of this season, the community rallied around it and has helped keep it alive. A reduced 2013-14 season is planned, using two fewer dancers and reducing the number of performances. But, she said, the performances for local schools and for UBC Okanagan will continue, as well as the popular annual production of Christmas favourite, The Nutcracker. Kochan told council membership in the society that runs Ballet Kelowna has tripled since the talk of its demise, its earned revenue from ticket sales has risen by 77 per cent, individual donations have doubled and the company’s season-ending performance at the Kelowna community theatre last month sold out for the first time in Ballet Kelowna’s 10-year history. Ballet Kelowna board member and tour coordinator Joan Wilson told council the company has enough money to start next season and is planning as if it will be around “for at least the next 10 years.” “The whole process of becoming financially viable is one that we take very seriously,” she said when asked about the future of Ballet Kelonwa beyond 2014. Coun. Robert Hobson noted the efforts of other local arts organizations to help Ballet Kelowna survive, saying local arts groups showed they really are part of a community in the city. “It’s really a testament to the passion people in the community have for the arts,” he said. Mayor Walter Gray said the advertising for the city that Ballet Kelowna generates when it travels to the 55 different communities it performs in each year across Western Canada is also invaluable. Wilson said presenters in some of those communities have noted that the name Kelowna is included in all the advertising and has resulted in some in those communities being surprised to see a city the size of Kelowna has its own ballet company.

Golf course clubhouse gutted by fire Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
There will likely be some under-employed staff at Shannon Lake Golf Course this summer, according to the general manager. John Jacoby said he doesn’t want to see people lose their jobs, but after fire razed the restaurant and pro-shop in the early hours of Saturday morning, no one is needed to serve the Granville Island beer still advertised on a sandwich board at the building’s
entrance. This was the first year the golf course was to operate its own food and beverage service, having taken over the restaurant from a contractor. “We’ll still need people to run the golf course, but there is no restaurant or pro shop left,” said Jacoby. There is also still no way to know if the golf clubs and shoes people might have stored in the building’s basement can be salvaged.

West Kelowna RCMP have taken over the fire investigation and are looking at it as an arson, according to RCMP spokesman Cnst. Kris Clark. The building is on lock-down. From the outside, it’s clear the kitchen of the building is untouched, ruling out a kitchen fire. Firefighters told Jacoby the evening of the fire that the electrical was not an issue. He believes the ignition point was identified on the outside of the building, but he can’t be sure. 1
Can’t get credit?
He arrived at 3 a.m. just as the building remnants were being doused. “Much of what was downstairs in the building is untouched by fire and the water damage. The records should be fine,” he said. Jacoby acknowledged that he’s really hoping this is the case as the loss of the membership files would mean a lot of work to replace them.

PLANE PULLERS…
Teams representing Strategic Aviation (top photo) and Black & McDonald (right photo) were among the 30 teams competing in the fourth annual Valley First Plane Pull Challenge, a fundraiser for the United Way. Teams were trying to pull a 33,500-pound Corvair 580 aircraft 20 feet in the fastest possible time. ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS
United Way supporters flex their muscles More than 400 people used their muscle last Friday to move a 33,500 pound Convair cargo plane 20 feet across the Kelowna Flightcraft tarmac to raise funds for the United Way during the fourth annual Valley First Plane Pull Challenge. Teams of 12 competed in several categories, while guests and spectators had an opportunity to
see aviation up close, sample the food vendors, and participate in Smart Betty’s hockey shoot. At the end of the celebrations, trophies are awarded in the following categories: • Most Funds Raised—RBC, raising $1,595 • Fastest Plane Pull Time— Kelowna Flightcraft Headband of Brothers with a time of 9.91
seconds •Second Fastest Plane Pull Time—Hoopla.com with a time of 10.9 seconds •Team Spirit—Aberdeen Hall • Best Team Costumes— Total Restoration’s Renew Crew. Besides the sponsorship of Valley First, Mackay LP, Astral and Castanet, the fundraiser wouldn’t be possible with-
out a plane provided by Kelowna Flightcraft. Proceeds from the event are still being tallied, and it is expected over $40,000 was raised during the day. The fourth annual plane pull featured 30 teams of 12 competing at the airport Friday, trying to pull a 33,500-pound Corvair 580 aircraft 20 feet in the fastest possible time.

▼ MP DAN ALBAS
New office to negate need for billboard Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas has opened a second constituency office in his sprawling riding. The Conservative MP, who moved up to West Kelowna from Penticton last year but whose riding extends from south of Penticton to Logan Lake and Merritt and includes all of the Westside, opened a second constituency office in Westbank
on Monday afternoon. He did so after announcing he would not renew the contract for the large billboard sign alongside Highway 97 near Westside Road both he and his predecessor, Stockwell Day, used to advertise to drivers coming off the W.R. Bennett Bridge that they were now in the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding. “I have heard concerns from many citizens over the billboard I have used to relay my contact in-
Dan Albas formation to residents in West Kelowna, an important consideration as it is rare for a community this
size to not have an MP office located directly within the municipality,” said Albas. He said one of his constituents who expressed displeasure about the billboard sign also offered a constructive suggestion— open an office in West Kelowna to negate the need for the sign. “And today that is precisely what we are going to do” said Albas earlier Monday. “This office will also be more strategic-
ally located for citizens in Peachland, Merritt and Logan Lake who frequently travel through West Kelowna on a more regular basis,” added the MP. “My existing Penticton office will continue to offer service to Penticton and the southern portion of Okanagan-Coquihalla as before.” The new Westbank office is located at 10-2483 Main St., in a small strip mall known as Highway 97 Plaza.

weather has resulted in higher flows in Mission Creek. During last year’s wet spring, the creek banks became unstable and have not yet stabilized. The treatment process is not able to remove all of the turbidity; however our chlorination system has not been compromised. The addition of Ultraviolet disinfection that is planned for BMID should help to alleviate this type of event in the near future. Turbidity levels of between 1.5 and 2.0 turbidity units are expected. Please note that this level of turbidity may not be visible to the eye. BMID monitors raw water bacteria levels in Mission Creek which remain low. BMID also monitors bacteria after disinfection which con-
tinues to be zero. Interior Health and BMID recommend that all customers seeking a higher level of protection should take extra precautions at this time. For infants, elderly, people with weakened immune systems, and anyone seeking a higher level of protection, BMID and Interior Health recommend that they boil their drinking water or take extra precautions. Note: Water should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute to achieve optimum disinfection. The public will be notified when conditions change or water quality has improved. If BMID water suers have any questions, contact the Black Mountain Irrigation District at 250765-5169.
Westshore water users get water quality advisory The Regional District of Central Okanagan has issued a precautionary water quality advisory for residents served by the Westshore Water System in the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area. The advisory affects almost 250 properties connected to the community water system adjacent to Westside Road. Increased turbidity in the water system source has resulted in water quality that might impact children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. “Interior Health has been contacted and while the health risk is modest and no bacteria have been found in any of the water from the system tested, regional district staff recommends as a precaution that Westshore water customers follow Interior Health guidelines,” said RDCO spokesman Bruce Smith. “All water intended for drinking, washing fruits and produce, making beverages or brushing teeth should be boiled for at least one minute or customers should use a safe alternative to water from the tap such as bottled or distilled water or water filtered through a well-maintained in-home treatment device.” This precautionary water quality advisory affecting the Westshore Water System will continue until further notice.

▼ LIFE ALTERING EVENT
Maverick flying car slams into tree near Ellison school Richard Rolke CONTRIBUTOR
Ray Siebring is ready to soar again although he came close to being permanently grounded. Siebring and a passenger sustained non-life threatening injuries after his Maverick flying car slammed into a tree near Ellison Elementary School Friday morning. “It was a life-altering event,” said the Kelowna pilot who helped building the craft. “I’m ready to get back in the saddle but I want to find out the cause so I can make it safer.” Siebring was preparing to land at the Vernon Airport after a demonstration flight when he lost control of the Maverick, which is a car with an aircraft engine and fabric wing. “There was either some meteorological event that caused us to make a sharp left turn or it was mechanical error. It started to spiral,” he said. With altitude dropping, Siebring started
looking for places to land. “I decided with the least populated place and that was the (school) field,” he said. The craft brushed over the field, clipped a fence and then came to rest up against a tree next to Vernon Creek. Witnesses provided medical assistance to Siebring and the passenger until paramedics arrived. “I’m feeling pretty sore and there are a few cuts and bruises. It looks like I was in a bar fight,” he said, adding that his passenger has bruises. The descending aircraft was visible to a number of people. “It looked like he was setting up to land and the canopy slumped forward,” said Russ Niles, a writer for Canadian Aviator magazine, who was at the airport and waiting to go for a ride in the flying car. “It seems like it was an aerodynamic stall. It looked like he tried to power out of it and he almost made it.” Jennifer Watson was
walking her dogs at Clar- pact,” said Don Wilcox, ence Fulton Second- director of student support ary when she looked up services with the Vernon and saw something was wrong. “I saw it start spinning. I didn’t know where it landed,” she said. The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident. “We are hoping to gather information to determine the cause of the accident,” said Bill Yearwood, TSB regional manager. “We will inspect the structure and aerodynamic features.” Siebring says the craft’s safety measures performed as they should, but he will be reviewing onboard recording devices as well as video taken from the ground. “We’re not giving up on this technology and the dream,” he said. All Ellison students were inside the school at the time, but counsellors have been made available to students and staff. “Students will continue to be monitored for signs of emotional im-

Bernard to reflect local heritage Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Originating with a need to upgrade the aging utilities and roadway, Kelowna’s Bernard Avenue revitalization has become an identity-establishing project, says the city. Parks and public space projects manager Andrew Gibbs said Thursday three themes will be featured along Bernard Avenue, with unique design elements in each phase of the new streetscape, evoking a distinct sense of place and the natural beauty of the area. “The themes are derived from our local natural and cultural heritage with tributes to the First Nation people of this area,” said Gibbs. “Placemaking draws on a community’s assets, inspiration and potential to create vibrant public spaces that promote discovery and enjoyment, and enhance the community’s attachment to public spaces.” At the east end of Bernard, near the intersection with Richter Street, embellishments will emphasize the hillsides and grasslands of the valley. The west end, near to the lake,
will emphasize the lake and the aquatic environment and the space in between will include highlights of the cultural history of the community. Specific features will include: • Traffic bollards at the crosswalks inset with naturally rusting corten steel and cut out images relevant to the themes • Natural wood plates on the light posts • Natural basalt stone benches and pavers • Local animals and plants engraved in sporadically placed polished basalt pavers • Garbage cans, utility boxes and bike lockers uniquely wrapped with historical images • Gobo lights projecting images onto the sidewalk • Sidewalk etchings at pedestrian crossings • Thematic public art components built into the light standards. Many of the embellishments will be installed after the current construction work is complete, possibly next spring. Some are already in place, he said, including specially engraved paving stones that identify local attributes in both English and the native aboriginal language.
Following the lead set by countries in Africa, for its third consecutive year church members in Kelowna will gather Sunday, May 19, at the Jublilee grandstand in City Park to pray in concert with Christians around the world for a Global Day of Prayer. Global Day of Prayer began in the year 2000 as a vision to transform Africa, where, in the subsequent years, prayer events have filled stadiums with over 22 million Africans participating in 2004. In 2008, the event continued to expand globally and churches and Christians from six continents and 214 countries were involved. Since 2009, millions of believers from more than 220 nations of the
The $14.1-million Bernard Avenue project is a component of the downtown revitalization plans that include a second phase of development for an expanded Stuart Park, Kerry Park improvements, a public pier and downtown marina and new parking facilities. Other, unrelated development work downtown includes a new Kelowna Yacht Club building under construction and plans for several new commercial and residential buildings. Gibbs said the themes for Bernard were envisioned from the start of the plan but have been developing as the construction work has taken place. The current work is the secondphase of the three-part project, with work on the centre section, from Pandosy Street to St. Paul Street, slated to take place this fall. The current work, on schedule and on budget, is set to wrap up by mid-June. The first phase, from Richter to St. Paul is already complete.

Defeat depression campaign reflects positive spring mood
M
ay is a hopeful month. Those April showers (and snow storms in many parts of the country) have truly produced their promised results. The flowers are blooming, the air is warm and the anticipation of
summer is everywhere. I can’t think of a better time of year for people across the country to join together to raise awareness and funds for depression and other mood disorders. This year marks the second year the Mood
Disorders Society of Canada has held a pan-Canadian campaign to defeat depression and it all culminates in events across the country on May 26. Participants will Move for Mental Health by participating in runs and walks to battle the stigma
surrounding depression and other mental health conditions and raise money for local mental health organizations. In addition to the above goals, some of the other objectives of the Defeat Depression campaign are to: • develop and share resources and supports • build a larger mental health network of communities • develop increased coordination between communities to defeat depression and • create an environment that encourages people to come forward for early intervention and treatment.
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer Events are taking place in most areas of the country. In B.C., there are four communities holding run/ walks on May 26. As of today there is not an event planned for Kelowna, but there is one in Penticton and also in Vancouver. I think this sort of community initiative is just the sort of thing we need to help drag men-
tal health issues out of our closets and into the open. According the Canadian Mental Health Society, mood disorders affect about 10 per cent of the population—and depression is the most common. In spite of this, many still view depression as a sign of a weak character rather than the serious and chronic illness that it is. When mood disorders enjoy wider public awareness and understanding, people experiencing them will likely feel more comfortable getting help sooner. Not only could this save years of needless suffering, but it could also
prevent the cumulative damage that takes place in the brain with many untreated episodes of depression. If you are interested in learning more about the Defeat Depression campaign or would like to take part in one of the organized events, visit their website at www.defeatdepression.ca. Finally, if you or someone you love lives with depression, speak to your doctor about it. Help is available.

▼ MISSION CREEK
Greenway underpasses closed Rising spring runoff water levels have forced the closure of two underpasses along the Mission Creek Greenway. The trail under the Casorso Road bridge and on the south side of Mission Creek at the Gordon Drive bridge are closed until further notice. The Regional District of Central Okanagan urges Greenway users to respect the barricades and
signs posted at these locations along the recreational trail as the underpass will remain closed until waters recede. Pedestrians and cyclists are asked to use caution and only cross Casorso Road when it is safe. Motorists are also asked to watch for Greenway users who may be crossing the road in this area while the underpass
is closed. At the present time, Greenway patrons may continue to use the northside creek underpass at Gordon Drive which remains open. Please note however, that this too could be subject to closure at any time. Regional Parks staff is continuing to monitor creek levels along the entire length of the Mission Creek Greenway.
People are reminded that water levels may rise unexpectedly and they, children and pets should stay safely back from creek banks, which may be slippery or subject to erosion from the spring runoff. Boaters and those using Okanagan Lake boat launches are advised to watch for floating debris that may enter the lake as a result of the runoff.

Candidate gets Harley Davidson motorbike up for grabs some missing signs back AlistairWaters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna-Mission B.C. Conservative candidate Mike McLaughlin found 40 of his missing I Like Mike signs. They were decorating the front yard of a Rutland house belonging to another guy named Mike. According to McLaughlin, he received a call Saturday saying some of his signs were in the front yard of a house in Rutland. When he went to the address on Barber Road, off Highway 33, he discovered 40 of his signs adorning the lawn, some with balloons attached, and toilet paper draped over nearby trees. “I called the RCMP to report the find,” said McLaughlin. “They sent an officer out to talk to the residents. Turns out there is a fellow living there whose name is Mike and who was celebrating a 40th birthday. When he got up at 5:30 a.m. there were 40 signs on his front lawn.” As first reported in the Capital News, McLaughlin said about 100 of the I Like Mike signs had gone missing in the first two weeks of the election campaign. He estimated the value at about $1,300. Determined to find out where the signs were going, he attached a cell phone with a GPS tracking device to one in a bid to turn it into a “bait” sign. Last week, his first attempt with that plan failed when the wind blew the sign with the cell phone attached over, sending him a message it had been moved. When he raced to the location, he discovered Mother Nature, not thieves, were responsible. On Friday, someone did take the bait sign and McLaughlin went with a camera crew from Global Okanagan to a location Gallagher’s Canyon golf course to investigate. It was after that story was broadcast later in the day that he received the tip about the signs on the lawn in Rutland, he said. In the end, McLaughlin was philosophical about the signs that ended up on the birthday boy’s law. “All’s well that ends well in my sign saga,” he said. “(The other Mike) had some fun at my expense and I got my signs back.” So far, there has been no word about the rest of the missing signs.

City’s investment portfolio provides helpful dividends While times may be tough for some investors, the City of Kelowna’s financial department staff say the city did better than expected in 2012 with its investments as they helped generate a modest $1.98 million surplus for the city. A lower than expected bill for policing also helped. As a result, Kelowna city council Monday approved a plan to put the majority of the surplus funds into several reserves to help pay for future city infrastructure and service needs. Council moved the money into eight different reserve accounts, including: • $450,000 for parks purchase and development • $300,000 for major facilities • $300,000 for the RCMP building • $250,000 for arterial roads • $250,000 for snow removal • $200,000 for major system software • $150,000 for civic facilities • $85,000 for fire dispatch An additional $63,000 will be kept as a contingency fund.

Early hearing screening Janet Cody CONTRIBUTOR
For many of us, waking up to the sounds of birds chirping is a sure sign of spring. Perhaps then it’s no surprise that May is designated as Speech and Hearing Month in Canada. Speech and hearing may seem an unlikely pair at first glance, but learning to speak is usually accompanied by the ability to hear. In fact, communication skills start to develop as soon as a child is born. Just spend some time around infants and young children and you’ll be convinced that the first five years are the most critical period for growth. Like little sponges, they soak up stimulation with every sense available! The key to preventing or overcoming a communication problem is the early identification of hearing, speech and language disorders. Without early screening, many babies with hearing loss go undetected because it’s not easy to identify a hearing loss just by watching a baby’s behaviour. When a baby can’t hear well, he or she may have problems learning to talk and develop language
skills. Early screening can reduce the language delays that a child with hearing loss may experience by connecting the child and family with the support and care they need. Even if no one in your family has a hearing loss, it is still important to have your baby’s hearing screened. Many hospitals in B.C. are providing hearing screening shortly after babies are born. For babies who are not screened while in the hospital, hearing screening is offered at numerous public health centres across Interior Health. Communication is what links us to our world yet our ability to communicate is an easy gift to take for granted. According to the Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA), the ability to communicate effectively with others is the very foundation of a child’s social, emotional and educational development. Hearing screening helps your child become the best communicator they can be. Take advantage of the early hearing screening program and if you think your child has a hear-

Be informed, then vote
T
he 2013 provincial election will be one of the most important in a generation. At a time when the economy appears to be in slow motion, yet demands on the public purse are increasing, voters need to pay attention to who’s running. Of course, it’s the same for every election – to little avail. In the 2009 provincial election, only about 50 per cent of voters bothered to cast a vote. Who is to blame and will
things be any different this year? Is it helplessness and apathy that keep people away from the polls? Many people simply don’t connect with government. Perhaps B.C. voters simply distrust anything politicians say. When there is a real issue, such as lack of funding for health care or education or transit, many eligible voters simply don’t see the connection between their vote and government policy. Instead, they leave the field to special interest

groups—business, unions, lobbyists—to influence the results. The truth is that politicians will only be accountable if we hold them accountable. We have a right to toss any of them out if they don’t do what they promised, so voters need to pay attention to what politicians say and they need to find out who they are. Over the past several weeks, the Capital News has covered the issues on the campaign for the three Centreal Okanagan
ridings three ridings. You can learn their positions on issues, examine their profiles, and read what they think is important, and what they intend to do about it if elected. Just check out the election tab on our website, www.kelownacapnews.com. It’s important that we all do what we can to be adequately informed to make a voting decision at the polls. More critical, of course, is that you actually cast a ballot.

Those who care enough to vote decide B.C.’s political fate
T
he official campaign was just 28 days long but in reality, the men and women jockeying for the hearts and minds of voters in today’s B.C. election have been on the campaign trail a whole lot longer. And today, voters decide who gets to govern this province for the next four years. The time for political talk is over—the decision now rests with those who care enough to vote. Four years ago, that number was a paltry 51 per cent. So this time
around, Elections B.C, has made an exerted effort to let the public know they can vote early and easily in a bid to drive up the voter turnout number. But, based on adAlistair Waters vance poll numbers, that effort may not have worked as well as expected. Over four days of advance voting, 4,283 of 44,610 eligible voters (9.6 per cent) in Kelowna-Lake Country cast ballots, compared with 9.46 per cent of eligible voters in 2009, 4,010 of the 44,671 eligible voters in Kelonwa-Mission
CITY CONFIDENTIAL
(8.97 per cent) cast ballots compared with 10.3 per cent four years ago and over in Westside-Kelowna, 3,599 of the 44,830 eligible voters (eight per cent) compared with 9.28 per cent in 2009 did likewise. Province-wide the number of people taking advantage of the advance polls this year was down just under 1.5 per cent from the 10 per cent who voted early in 2009. So, will a bigger number of voters turn out on election day itself? Let’s hope so. But if history is an indication, the answer will be no. The number of people who take time to vote has been dropping since the 1990s. If the overarching message that all the party leaders are pushing rings
true with the public—that this election is pivotal and really is about two polar opposite approaches to running this province—maybe voters will show up on election day en masse to say which direction they want. With one day to go, the Christy Clark Liberals narrowed their overall public opinion poll deficit to six points behind the NDP. That’s a far cry from the 20-point deficit they were mired in just a few weeks ago. But in politics, a six-point lead on the eve of an election is still pretty big. Of course, B.C. general elections are exactly that, elections—85 of them to be precise. It is not one big vote where we all cast ballots for
the same candidate or party. As a result, a popular candidate in one riding may not end up sitting on the government side of the Legislature when all is said and done unless a majority of his or her colleagues prove to be just as popular in their ridings. So, as we saw with the NDP in 1996, come-from-behind victories are possible. But so too are routs. Just ask the Socreds of 1991 and that same NDP government of 2001. Either way, there will be plenty of story lines to read Wednesday when all the political smoke clears. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ CITY PARK
Fear that future plans will ruin city’s jewel To the editor: Re: Future plans for City Park. Our pioneers must be rolling over in their graves. They had the forethought of buying the land for City Park, from which the city grew. In its early years, City Park was the heart of the city, a gathering place for the community and tourists alike, climaxing with Regatta. It has been the foundation of the community for more than 100 years and it is also graced with our cenotaph, remembering those brave soldiers who gave their lives for us. As I review the plan for changes to City Park, which I can hon-
estly say is difficult to read, some proposed elements make sense and are respectful to its glorious past. However, there are some other suggestions that make me want to scold council. How dare council put a tourist information facility there. Sure, washrooms and the ability to buy refreshments make sense, but a tourist facility? Tourist information facilities are on the main route through Kelowna to help tourists get oriented to our city and gain valuable information on where to spend their money. But putting a tourist facility in City Park doesn’t add to the park. This must be council buffoon-
ery, as no city planner would be that stupid. Also, putting the road and parking lot next to the sacred ground of the cenotaph is shameful. Then I see the loop road being re-established, allowing kids to continually cruise through the park expelling tons of fumes into our lungs and our beautiful park. As a long-time resident of Kelowna I remember years ago we had a loop road in City Park and how it was awful. That is why the road was removed. It took a significant amount of RCMP resources to keep speeders and partiers from hitting park patrons. Council and many residents must have amnesia if they support this plan. The only

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference 250-860-2356
▼ DOCUMENTARY
To the editor: During this busy spring election period, it is time to seriously consider what matters, and to act to learn about what values are supported by which local candidate. I was able to recently attend the showing— brought here by the Kelowna chapter of the Council of Canadians— of the film Salmon Confidential and to learn from filmmaker Twyla Roscovitch about the perils currently facing our wild salmon. The story isn’t pretty. It tells of poor protection policies and actions by both the federal department of fisheries and the Canadian Food Inspection agency.
The film argues that these agencies are turning a serious blind eye to evidence that something is going very wrong with our keystone fishery, with imported fish diseases becoming rampant in our wild salmon runs. We the people need to stand up to support our fisheries, through voting for candidates who believe our ocean is more important than a few jobs, that long-term sustainability may come with some costs, that the payoff of planetary ecosystem health is well worth it. Lets keep in mind the well being of future generations, and quit being so darned shortsighted. The Kelowna Mission NDP candidate Tish
Lakes was the only political candidate to attend the screening of this film. I really appreciated her attending and I feel strongly that this election needs to bring some social and environmental conscience into Victoria. The film can be seen on You Tube, just Google Salmon Confidential. Lets show all the candidates that thing like having wild salmon matter, that the run of the river power projects are terrible and uneconomically wise, and that our ocean is too important to risk to bitumen containing tankers. Maybe it is time to ask your favourite candidates where they stand? Carole Kergan, Kelowna
▼ DRIVING
Speed demon criticism on local roads called unjustified To the editor: In response to the letter from Ron Barnard in the Friday, May 10, edition of the Capital News, I take great exception to his comments about truck driving speeders in Kelowna. My husband and I are class 1 drivers. I agree that speeding is an issue, however so is driving under the speed limit, and fluctuating speeds while one takes in the scenery. Also, most vehicles of this class are speed limited, and therefore can’t be the speed demons Mr. Barnard describes. As well, most drivers do not exceed 105 km/h as the fuel consumption increases exponentially above said speed, impacting the driver’s income. If you are surprised by my use of large words, that would be due to the fact
that my husband and myself both hold degrees. They have been helpful while calculating speed, driving time, gross weight, etc. in the change to American standards. I am glad you enjoyed the sights on your way to your game of golf. The truck drivers that you call uneducated, brought you the fuel you used, the car you drove, the clothes you wore, the clubs you played with. On your next trip to play, remember the truck driver passing you is at work. As a footnote, I would ask if you have driven the Coquihalla recently, where I am constantly overtaken and cut off by cars driving at speeds above 130 km/h. They are what I would call speed demons playing chicken. Tracy Alston, West Kelowna
To the editor: You have a great soccer program in the Okanagan, although the U13 and U14 boys did not recently win against Mountain FC this past weekend. These teams play at the highest youth level within the one-year old EA B.C. Soccer Premier League that is dedicated to promote player development at the highest level, engaging professional coaches and arranging league plays among teams based in locations ranging from Vancouver Island to the Okanagan, with most of course coming from the Lower Mainland region. I was stunned to learn that the Okanagan club has not been able to obtain any local sponsorships from businesses and corporations in the Kelowna/Central Okanagan region, and I am sorry to say that I find this shameful and embarrassing. Is it not recognized that soccer is the most widely played ball game in Canada and the world, that Canada is slowly moving towards becoming internationally competitive? I know at least one player (goalie) from one of the Okanagan teams who joined the provincial team last summer, an honour and distinction for the local regional club. There is some sponsorship of hockey by a local business. I sure hope that some of the local business leaders will rise to the task and come online with some support for Okanagan soccer, and that at future matches ad banners aside the Mission playing fields will bear testimony to their sponsorships. There is special need for this for your local teams because every second league match has to be played in the Vancouver area, so it becomes costly. Your region should be proud to see that the “beautiful game” is being played at this high level right in the Okanagan and thus deserves support by the communities and its businesses.

Biosolid concerns draw support
▼ IMMUNIZATION
To the editor: I support the concerns of West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater on the dumping of biosolids from the wastewater (sewage) treatment plant. I live across the street from that plant. Last year, I attended a meeting at the region where Sylvis Environmental Services gave a presentation. Two comments that stuck with me were: • Bob’s Lake pit area near Paradise Lake must be replaced as residents are complaining about the smell; and • biosolids from this plant are more odorous than from most plants. The biosolids truck makes a minimum of two trips on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Anyone who has been behind this truck has experienced the smells. People should also know that the bio-liquids from the plant are piped into the lake, out from Pebble Beach Park on Whitworth Drive. The bio-gases are released into the air, without the use of air scrubbers. David Perron, West Kelowna
To the editor: The April 18 article by Heather Way and Lesley Coates about parents gathering information on immunization and making an informed decision about whether to immunize their child or not only provided pro immunization information contacts. Without knowledge of the anti immunization contacts how would parents be able to make a truly informed decision? Public health officials and public health nurses are hired to disseminate the vaccine information contained within the www.immunizebc.ca website.
Challenge of making informed decision This website states that all vaccines are safe and effective and that there is no relationship between vaccines and autism or any other health condition. The reality is that to date there has never been an independent, long-term safety study done on any of the vaccines. One really has to wonder why? If the safety of our children was the top priority, this would have been done decades ago. Governments around the world seem very willing to promote vaccine use but not to invest money in independent research to confirm the ef-
fectiveness and safety of these vaccines. And we know unfortunately that you can not rely on pharmaceutical company research of their vaccines to be truthful. Dr. David Eddy, MD, PhD, reported in the British Medical Journal, 1991, that “only 15 per cent of medical interventions are supported by scientific evidence…this is partly because only 1 per cent of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound.” This was confirmed last October when the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy
at the University of Minnesota published in the British Medical Journal their review of 5,707 published influenza studies from 1967 to 2011. They stated that only 31 (0.5 per cent ) were solid scientific studies. They stated most of the studies vastly over-estimated the benefits of receiving the vaccine. It would be wonderful if certainty beyond a doubt was there about the safety and effectiveness of the various vaccines, but until independent credible research is done and problems identified and corrected, parents have a right to be concerned and
need to do their own research. For it was the “experts” that said such things as asbestos, DDT, thalidomide, fluoride, etc., were safe. Additional information resources include “A Shot in the Dark” by Coulter and Fisher; “The Vaccine Guide: Making an Informed Choice” by Neustaeder; “Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality” by Coulter; and the National Vaccine Information Centre website www.909shot.com.

Air Force memorabilia goes missing To the editor: I am appealing to the general public to help resolve a crisis of my own making. On Wednesday, May 8, I attended the Flag Day ceremony to mark the 68th year since the end of World War 2 at Lakeview Cemetery, where my father, Bill Moore is interred in the Walk of Honour. After the ceremony I drove in to Kelowna to visit and show a shadow box picture frame con-
taining my father’s career Air Force memorabilia, including his medals and dog tags, to an elderly friend of my parents. I had just had the memorial completed four days prior and had given it to my eldest brother for his 60th birthday. Upon leaving my parent’s friend’s home at Casorso and Gordon, I placed the shadow box, wrapped in a black blanket, on my roof rack while I opened all of the doors in my car to relieve
some of the heat. Well, you can probably guess what happened. I drove off back to the Lakeview Cemetery to take some pictures with my brother of my parents’ markers. The box came off of the roof rack somewhere between those two locations. My father was a long standing member of the Kelowna Air Force Association and a volunteer at Kelowna’s Military Museum. I have made many contacts in-
cluding the RCMP to try and locate this family treasure but so far to no avail. I would be forever grateful if I could get my father’s mementos back in our family. I am able to pay a generous reward for it’s return regardless of its condition. My contact numbers are 250 542-4575 at home and 250-5589607 on my cell. Jeff Moore, Vernon

Westbank rhetoric overtakes district’s interests To the editor: This is my response to a letter to the editor in the Capital News on Tuesday, May 7. The letter was headlined: Don’t Ignore Civic Heart of West Kelowna, signed by the Historic Westbank Association president Gordon Ficke and business director Sheila Kennedy.
I was wondering when we would hear the rhetoric again about the importance of Westbank, and not the importance of West Kelowna. This informative letter fills in the blanks. There is a saying—the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This phrase generally means that the construc-
tion of an entity is more important than the individual pieces of the entity on their own. For example, the human body is made up of many components— brain, heart, lungs, bones, muscles and many other organs. None of them individually can produce a human body that walks, talks, breathes, is creative
or is inventive. I sincerely hope our mayor and council remember that there are many areas now under their government, from Casa Loma, West Kelowna Estates, Lakeview Heights, Shannon Lake, Westbank and Glenrosa. Not one of these areas should be considered more important than the
others incouncil’s decision-making. We became West Kelowna in December 2007. Now that is historic. So now, any new civic heart for our community should be a central location that benefits all residents. Hopefully the tail does not wag the dog. David W. Kuhn, West Kelowna
▼ ELECTION
Post-secondary support welcome but jobs also needed To the editor: Vote post-secondary, vote Liberal. Wait, what? Last week, I attended the Kelowna-Mission all-candidates forum hosted by the Okanagan College Students Union. As a student, I’m well nourished with material from student federations on post-secondary educa-
tion in B.C. However, the remorseful rhetoric isn’t always consistent with the reputable reality. Under the NDP, universities and colleges were starved for funding and tuition was frozen. Since 2001, the B.C. Liberals have created 32,000 new student
spaces, established seven new universities (e.g., UBC Okanagan campus), started three new UBC medical campuses (e.g. Kelowna), and increased operating grant funding to institutions by 46 per cent, all while maintaining the fourth lowest average tuition of all Canadian provinces.
These investments have allowed centres for higher education and research such as UBCO to emerge as top-ranked, world class, and globally influential players who are keeping talent where it belongs—right here in B.C. While many of my peers wouldn’t be in the
Okanagan today had it not been for UBCO’s tremendous growth, an unproven fiscal plan may guide business and younglings to Alberta in search of work.

Pitfalls of purchasing employees T ‘‘ he sale of a business can have a substantial emotional and practical impact upon the employees. The related legal issues for purchaser and vendor, and for their lawyers, are no less significant. Legally, the employment impacts of the sale of a business are numerous and they flow from both statutory sources and the common law. They can be problematic, particularly when the existing employees flow to the purchaser of the business. Most commonly, these issues seem to arise within a year or two after the purchase of the business. Although the purchaser often has the intention of keeping all the existing employees, things don’t always work out that way. This is partly because very little due diligence is typically done in relation to individual employees. When a termination inevitably happens soon after the business is purchased, there are questions as to which party (the vendor or the purchaser) will be liable to satisfy the employee’s entitlements and as to the extent of those entitlements. These can be very expensive liabilities and the question of who holds them should be a significant concern to the parties at the time the business is sold—both the vendor and the purchaser surely are seeking certainty in the transaction—rather than after the fact. In B.C., our Employment Standards Act deems employment to be continuous upon the sale of a business. So, for the purposes of the Act, employees who go to work for the purchaser do so with all their accumulated entitlements intact. Their employment is deemed to have begun with their original date of hire, and their tenure remains unbroken for the
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson purposes of entitlements such as vacation pay and severance pay. Any other claims which the employees had against the former employer (for instance, for unpaid wages and overtime, and statutory holiday pay) can also be directed against the purchaser. The common law of employment applies consistently throughout Canada (with the exception of Quebec) and is enforced by the civil courts. Its effect, generally, is to impose a number of implied terms onto the employment relationship such as the entitlement to reasonable working notice in not-for-cause termination situations. The common law of
employment presumes the period of service to be continuous through the sale of a business so, as in the statutory context, an employee’s period of service can extend back beyond the purchase date. This will be a significant factor in determining entitlements at the time of termination. The parties can structure a purchase agreement to curtail the period of service and to address responsibility for common law liabilities (whether they are to remain with the vendor or flow to the purchaser). But, there are uncertainties in all of this. The civil courts have held, for instance, that in certain circumstances both the purchaser and the vendor may be liable to the employee. This will occur when the contractual status of the employee has not been adequately defined at the time of the sale. And, it is not uncommon at all for a judge to decide that, notwithstand-

ing the purchase of a business, an employee’s period of service—for legal purposes—goes back to his or her original date of hire. For the vendor of a business to be certain that it does not retain liability for common law wrongful dismissal damages, it must establish a “novation” of contract. A novation has been described as a trilateral agreement by which an existing contract is extinguished and a new one with another party is
brought into being. The risk that a civil court will not agree that a proper job was done means that there is no guaranteed method of ensuring which of the parties to the transaction will hold liability. To address this uncertainty, the best the parties can do is build acceptable indemnifications and hold-backs into the purchase and sale agreement. All of this suggests to me that parties to a business transaction should involve employment lawyers earlier rather than later. It also suggests to me that everyone involved should recognize the uncertainty of the situation and protect themselves from unwanted liabilities.

“Friends…unwind this ball of twine—rewind it on the barrels of syringes.…,” the vivid imagery of Sterling Haynes, a West Kelowna poet, captured the attention of poetry judges and earned the writer third place in the 11th Annual BrainStorm Poetry Contest for mental health consumers. His poem was titled “Down…East Hastings Street—Vancouver, B.C.”. Haynes’ poem will now be published in the Spring 2013 edition of literary magazine Open Minds Quarterly. The contest was hosted by Northern Initiative for Social Action in Sudbury, Ont., a non-profit that works closely with and supports mental health consumers in their recovery. Some 286 entries arrived at NISA from across North America. The top three poems were awarded prizes, and four poems merited honourable mentions. “All of us are directly affected by how well our mental health services can detect, prevent and treat mental illness,” said Dinah Laprairie, editor of Open Minds Quarterly. “If you have any question about how debilitating and lifelong these illnesses can be, pick up any issue of Open Minds Quarterly—you’ll see how resilient someone must be to recover from one of these illnesses. Sterling Haynes spent his life as a rural and urban “Doc.” When he was 70, he had a left-sided stroke and his brain was re-assembled and he started writing as a treatment for his aphasia. He found alternate ways to express himself. Haynes’ poem takes readers to East Hastings Street in Vancouver, and through the poem they are invited to “walk in the downpour and in the gutters” with the narrator as “thoughts spin into red hallucinations, unravel with increasing amounts of ecstasy.”

Students polish up for fine woodworking exhibition Okanagan College is hosting one of the knottiest events in the region on May 17 at the Kelowna campus. Knotty by Nature is an exhibition of fine work from the hands of several students who have spent the last eight months in the Studio Woodworking program at Okanagan College. “Many of our students start out as total beginners, but by the end of the program, their levels of skill and creativity always impress me,” said instructor Tim Diebert. Over that short period of time, students have been busy in the college’s fully-equipped joinery shop learning the craft of cabinetmaking and woodworking with an emphasis on finer studio woodworking skills and tech-
niques. These skills have been applied to a variety of objects such as desks, tables, cabinets and fine boxes, and jewelry, all of which will be on display from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Room E202 in the Centre for Learning. “This is really a showcase of the students’ work,” said Diebert, who has 30 years full-time experience in the industry, having built everything from custom guitars to furniture, commercial millwork, movie sets and even yacht interiors. “I always tell my students that if they want to do fine work for a living, then being part of an exhibition is one of the best ways of getting your work and name out there.” The year-end exhibition will include oppor-

create simplicity where others see complexity. They embrace learning that comes from taking calculated risks. These special entrepreneur types, as I might call them, recognize that when opportunities are fleeting, it is sometimes more expensive to be slow rather than to be wrong. As a consequence of this, they will find solutions that are “roughly right” it seems rather than consume time developing an analytically correct but a lot slower answer to a perceived issue item. (Since writing this column and meeting and interviewing a few hundred existing and aspiring entrepreneurs, I can safely say this item is extremely predominant.) However, this special grouping of the entrepreneur has an immense amount of insight and experience to offer you and me. They passionately seek new opportunities in a wide range of paths. They pursue opportunities with enormous discipline, which allow us tremendous learning through observation. They pursue only the very best opportunities and avoid exhausting themselves by simply chasing. They focus on execution, that is to say taking action toward results instead of analyzing every step along the way to its death. Yet they are very adaptive to change directions if required in exploiting the best opportunity
for them. And lastly to me, they engage the energies of absolutely everyone within their domain, involving people both internally and externally to their sphere of reference in pursuit of the dream opportunity for them. They are excellent at creating and sustaining networks of relationships rather than going it alone, making the most of the intellectual and other resources offered in their journey and, in turn, helping those people to achieve their goals as well Why? Because they passionately seek new opportunities, they stay alert and are always looking for the chance to profit from change and disruption in the way social and economic business is done in our world. Their greatness impacts us all when they create entirely new venture models which help revolutionize in our Okanagan and provincial society how revenues are made, costs are incurred or even operations are conducted, sometimes throughout an entire industry. I cannot help but quickly reflect on the myriad of entrepreneurs within the wine industry in the Okanagan as it continues to awe and inspire me.

Golfers can turn their scorecards into meaningful support for Okanagan College students next month when one of the longest running tournaments in the region swings into action. The Okanagan College Foundation/Western Financial Group Annual Charity Golf Tournament takes place Thursday, May 23, at the Bear and Quail courses of the Okanagan Golf Club. This year’s tournament gives players a chance to not only hit the green, but also bone up on their knowledge of the trades with the Collision Repair Department setting up their paint simulation booth for a contest, plus delicious food prepared by the Culinary Arts department. “With the $33-million expansion and renovation of the trades training facilities at the Kelowna campus, we thought it made sense to bring the trades to the green this year,” said Kathy Butler, executive director of the Okanagan College Foundation. Now in its 22nd year, the tournament has raised more than $250,000 for scholarships, bursaries and program support all of which helps students, especially today, Butler said. “Students are always struggling with tight budgets, but with the job market for young people being what it is, everything helps,” said Butler. “This golf tournament plays a vital role in raising funds that help students throughout the year so that they can continue with their education without the extra stresses of financial worries, as much as is possible.” Registration for the tournament is now open at www. okanagan.bc.ca/foundation. Along with Western Financial Group, sponsors for this year’s tournament include PCL Construction and the Capital News.

Van crashing into restaurant sends six people to hospital Four people were injured when a van crashed through the patio of a West Kelowna restaurant Saturday afternoon. Lunch service was in full swing when a grey Dodge Caravan plowed through the barricade and into the restaurant, located at 3470 Carrington Road. A 19-year-old woman from Vernon was pinned under the van and
the 78-year-old West Kelowna man driving it was temporarily trapped in the vehicle with his wife as it was resting against an overhead door. “Restaurant staff, bystanders and emergency crews worked together to provide first aid to the injured until B.C. Ambulance Service paramedics could arrive,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark. “The four people injured in the
crash, as well as the driver and his wife, were all taken to Kelowna General Hospital with undisclosed, non-life threatening injuries.” The investigation is ongoing and the cause of the crash has not yet been determined. Police have requested a licensing review be conducted on the driver, though charges have not been laid as yet.

Seven suggestions for improving our mental wellness Not too long ago— just after the Second World War—few people in North America brushed their teeth with any regularity. Now, the mere thought of going an entire day or night without brushing one’s teeth is simply out of the question for most. Hopefully, someday in the near future, a similar attitude will prevail regarding mental well-being, says Dr. Matt Mumber, an oncologist and author of Sustainable Wellness: An Integrative Approach to Transform Your Mind, Body, and Spirit. (www.sustainablewellnessonline.com), co-authored by yoga therapist Heather Reed. “Human happiness and well-being are rudderless without awareness, which I define as the quality of paying attention to what’s going on in the present moment from an inquisitive, nonjudgmental and focused perspective,” said Mumber. After checking off a healthy diet and exercise from the list, how does one go about ensuring a healthy mind? Mumber and Reed suggest the following ideas: • Beginner’s mind is the ability to see things with new eyes. A beginner’s mind opens people to the world of possibilities that exist in the present moment. That does not mean throwing away good ideas from the past; rather, it means to entertain new ideas with a truly open sensibility. • Trust: Believe in your authority to know your own body, thoughts and feelings. We need to have the confidence necessary to trust that our thoughts and feelings at any given moment have value. • Non-judging is the ability to see things for what they are, to hold an open and neutral place for whatever comes up within and around you, without thinking of anything as categorically better or worse than anything else. • Patience is a willingness to continue with the process of paying attention on purpose even when it appears that no progress is being made. Learning and growing through mindful practice happens with time, and we can’t force the outcome. • Acceptance refers to allowing whatever comes up in the moment to be
held in our field of awareness. This is not the same as giving up or being passive; acceptance is merely
acknowledgement. • Letting go is refusing to attach to specific thoughts, feelings or be-
haviours. This can feel like losing something, but every time we let go, we open ourselves to some-
thing new and, potentially, deeper. • Non-striving: In our goal-oriented society, this
may seem counterintuitive. However, non-striving refers only to practicing mindfulness without

expectation of some future goal or dream, which helps us better live in the now.

Physical receiver Childs puts difficulties of past life behind him Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Paul Childs is grateful for a second chance. Whether that opportunity comes with the Okanagan Sun or Vancouver Island Raiders is entirely up to him. The highly sought-after 6-foot-4, 234-pound receiver from Winnipeg
attended the spring camps of both BCFC teams over the last two weekends and now has a decision to make. “I’m really torn right now,” said Childs, 21. “At one point I was 80 per cent sure I was going to V.I., but now I’m not sure. The environment here (Sun) is absolutely phenomenal. Coach (Shane) Beatty

is an all-out, upbeat coach who wears his heart on his sleeve and I’m that type of guy, too. I’m torn, but I’d like to make a decision soon and not leave anyone hanging.” There were times when Childs wondered if he’d ever play football again. In 2009, during his last season of high school at Churchill in Winnipeg, Childs’ family home burned to the ground. At the time, he was considered one of the top high school prospects in Manitoba. But he stopped playing football and, from there, his life took some unexpected and unfortunate turns. While riding his motorcycle at high speeds in Winnipeg in June 2011, Childs was charged with flight from police and dangerous driving. He would spend six months in jail, where Childs made a concerted decision to turn his life around. “That’s where I found myself, both mentally and physically,” Childs said. “I made some bad decisions and wrong turns without football, and it was time to correct that. I came out not as a loser anymore. I went in at 302 pounds and came out at 228. I matured as a person, left that old one behind. I dug mySee Childs A22
Spring camp breeds optimism for Sun Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Each and every May, hope springs eternal for the Okanagan Sun. With a new head coach at the reins and close to 90 players auditioning their talents at the Sun’s annual spring camp, the B.C. Football Conference club caught a first glimpse of what’s to come in 2013. First-year head man Shane Beatty was encouraged by what he saw over two days of workouts at the Parkinson fields as the club looks to turn the page on a disappointing 2012 campaign. “Overall I was really pleased, I was excited to see the way the kids competed and ran around,” said Beatty. “They’re a very coachable group, and to put in the scheme that we just put in the last two days, the kids picked it up very well…very cerebral.” Among areas of the team Beatty is most pleased with are the offensive line, defensive secondary and linebacker, all positions the head coach expects to be stronger with more depth than in 2012. The status of one key position currently up in the air is at quarterback where three main contenders took reps at camp over the weekend—incumbent Cam Bedore, Theo Deezer from Winnipeg and Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren from the University of Saskatchewan. Due to the competitive nature of recruiting in the junior ranks, there’s no guarantee all pivots will be coming back for main

NEW head coach Shane Beatty addresses the players Sunday following the Okanagan Sun’s 2013 spring camp. camp in July. But if they do, Beatty said there will be some interesting decisions to make. “Not sure at this time (the quarterbacks) are one I’ll have to plead the 5th on,” joked Beatty, who plans to add another quarterback for camp in July. “We’ll take some time to evaluate that as a staff, sit down and talk and see which direction we want to go in because they’re all three different kids. I thought Cam (Bedore) did a very good job.” Jay Christensen has witnessed his share of Sun camps over the last three decades, first as a player, next as a coach and, for the last two springs as the club’s GM. As for the 2013 installment of spring camp, Christensen was impressed by both the

energy and team unity displayed by the majority of the players—both positive signs going forward. “The most notable factor is the enthusiasm, the guys were really flying around out there,” said Christensen said. “But you know, it was funny, if you saw a big hit on the field, a defensive guy hit an offensive guy, everybody cheered. And the same thing on offense, they didn’t just take it, which they have in some years in the past. “I think there was really good chemistry with the guys considering the number of new faces that are out there.” While the club’s new head coach is confident some important steps were taken at spring camp, Beatty said there is still plenty of legwork to be done before the
Sun gathers for the start of main camp in seven weeks. “We have a lot of work to do,” admitted Beatty. “We have to clinic each other on the fundamentals, the staff has to get together and we have a lot of things we need to work out. Having said that, I feel very good about where we’re at right now.” Beatty expects the club to invite about 75 players back for main camp, which will kick off Friday, July 5.

said the young Albertan could conceivably be the club’s starting middle linebacker come the Sun’s season opener. If that happens, Bobrovskyy—and all of his Sun teammates—will be learning an entirely new defense this season. Mollard said the Sun will do everything it can to make life miserable for opposing offenses with a 3-3-6 formation, an unusual strategy for any team north of the border. “You’re not going to see this defense anywhere in Canada,” he said. “It’s Americanized, you see it at South Carolina, West Virginia runs it, Arizona…it’s a fun defence to be a part of, a pressure defense, a turnover. The kids loved it this weekend.”

showcase for the province’s top players. “The overall image of the (Sun) team is good and I like the city a lot. I’d have to say right now this is my top choice.” Defensive coordinator Nathan Mollard said Bobrovskyy fits the profile of the kind of player the Sun defense is looking for. “He grasped the system pretty quick, but the nicest thing is he’s just a hard-nosed kid who’s going to go down and find the contact,” said Mollard. “That’s something we’ve been looking for for a number of years with the Sun. He’s very physical, a strong kid for his age. And he’s a great kid.” If Bobrovskyy continues to work hard and refine his game, Mollard

Avoid injuries by learning chi running technique Senior chi running instructor, Angela James, will be hosting a full-day workshop in Kelowna on Saturday, June 29. Chi running is a method of running instruction developed in 1999 by Danny Dryer, an ultra
marathon runner and tai chi practitioner. Its thousands of practitioners say it results in more efficient form and fewer injuries. Its primary focus is to teach runners to move in a more efficient, natural

way, thus reducing injury and enhancing the joy of running. Chi running incorporates the principles of tai chi, yoga and Pilates, and emphasizes striking the ground at mid-foot, rather than at the heel. According to James, chi running has helped many people, from beginners to cross country runners to triathletes. Whether you are just beginning a running program or training for a marathon, race, or triathlon, the chi running approach is one that builds a healthy body, instead of breaking it down from misuse or overuse. Chi running helps reduce or eliminate injury and pain such as knee pain, hip pain,IT band syndrome (ITB), hamstring pulls, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, soreness and fatigue. The cost for the Kelowna workshop is $225. For more information on Angela James, the workshop, or to register visit www.angelajames. com.

Addressing harmful insect bites W Public ith our patients running around in nature, naked and fascinated by all things moving, insect bite allergic reactions are a familiar presentation for vets. Many of these unfortunate encounters between the family pet and the insect, happen on the daily walk or even in the back yard. Our desired area of living, with the hot weather and variety of greenery and fruits growing everywhere, is also popular among these pests. The list of the potential harmful insects is too long to mention in full, the most common pests that are affecting house pets are—bees, wasps, ants, biting flies and spiders. An allergic reaction is actually the body’s defence reaction, that got out of control. When the pet’s body comes into contact with allergenic insect, the body recognizes it as a foreign material, triggering the immune system to react to this “invader.” Why this reaction goes overboard, impacting the pets in such a tremendous way, is still unclear. Due to pets’ nature to explore things with their nose, most of the reaction usually starts with a significant swelling of the face, usually around the muzzle, eyes and even the ears. The swelling is typically accompanied by intense itchiness and redness of the skin. The skin redness is easily noticeable in the inner side of the ears,
where the skin is apparent. The reaction may also manifest systemically, affecting the whole body. This case is Dr. Moshe known as Urticaria Oz and it is characterized by eruption of skin lumps, initially close to the bite site, then spreading over the body. These lumps are easily visible in slick coated dogs, however may go unnoticed if covered by long hair. Beside the dramatic physical symptoms of the face swelling and the skin lumps, pet owners will easily notice the mental changes in their pet. This kind of allergic reaction is very irritating and accompanied by signs of restlessness and distress. The pet will typically rub itself intensively and cry or yelp continuously. Beside the great inconvenience to the pet, other more serious complications may arise. Severe swelling of the face and neck may lead to breathing difficulties. This complication is not very common, however, it is important to be aware of it because the outcome can be tragic. Brachiocephalic breeds, such as pugs, boxers, Pekingeses, Persian cats and more, that have a “squashed” faces are at most risk to be seriously impacted. These breeds have such crowded throats, they can barely breathe when healthy and any acute allergic reaction in short-faced pets should be considered a potential emer-

gency. Many pets owners are not in a hurry to go to the vet. If you will look online, you’ll find many DIY advices on these kind of reactions. I have to admit that I am not a fan of any DIY attempts when it comes to pets. Many people will go straight to human antihistamines (Benadryl). I don’t find this medication helpful when it is given on its own, let alone the dose adjustments from human to pets and the side effects that may arise with errors in that area. Most cases of insect-borne allergies are fairly easy to treat if other severe complications have not occurred. Most veterinarians will suppress the allergic reaction by using steroids either on their own or by incorporating steroids with antihistamines. In most simple cases of allergic reactions, a single treatment, or a short course over few days of treatment is sufficient in completely eliminating all the symptoms. In severe cases, where there is a potential life threatening complication, the pet may require to be hospitalized for an intensive treatment, luckily these cases are not the majority. In any event, if your pet is showing any of the mentioned symptoms,I strongly recommend you to seek a veterinary assessment which will restore your pets comfort and the peace in your house.

Cancer fighters and their four-legged friends join forces to support Relay for Life Dog trainer Brad Pattison and the local Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life have teamed up to increased awareness for local businesses and the fight against cancer. For the next three weeks, partial proceeds from the sale of Pattison’s Canine Café Coupon Book will be directed to the Kelowna Relay For Life. The coupon book offers more than $1,000 in savings from local Kelowna vendors, meaning sales of the book not only sup-
port the Canadian Cancer Society but also introduce the community to dozens of small businesses in the area. “We’re always looking for community support to boost awareness of Relay For Life and join us in the fight against cancer,” said Sally Ginter, regional director, Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon. Pattison is committing $6 from each coupon book sale to the Relay For Life in Kelowna. The books are $20 each and a total of 500
books are available. Anyone wishing to purchase a book can also do so directly from the Canadian Cancer Society Kelowna office at 202-1835 Gordon Dr. Call 250-7626381. “I’m passionate about building healthy communities and partnering with Relay For Life was a fun and different way for me to support that passion,” said Pattison. “I encourage everyone in the Kelowna area to get involved in this initiative.” Relay For Life in Kelowna takes place on June
1 and 2 at City Park. Relay For Life is the largest cancer fundraising event in the world and offers communities the chance to come together, celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to the disease and fight back against all cancers. Every year, more than 500 communities nationwide participate. Last year Relay For Life in B.C. and the Yukon raised almost $5 million.

O
ften listed as a favourite pastime in the obituaries, gardening’s popularity spans the ages, and has no preference to a person’s means. I recently spent a few hours at my old stomping grounds, Bylands Garden Centre, and had a great time helping their customers with plant suggestions and general problem solving. It was nice to see some familiar faces as well as talk to people whom I had never met before. Some needed practical advice regarding weed control, fertilizing, pruning and general maintenance. Others were interested in the latest introductions to the plant selection we have here in the Okanagan, and still others wanted help to make their vegetable garden more productive. Gardening is a healthful activity both for mind and body.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett It is a great self esteem booster when things go right and can be somewhat challenging when some things don’t. But when a problem is solved and success is realized, there is nothing more rewarding. Gardening can also be quite addictive although there are certainly worse things out there to be addicted to. Gardening has a broad spectrum of definitions from growing potted plants on the window sill to large scale estate gardening all with similar rewards and challenges. Some people have been gardening since being introduced to it as children while others pick it up as adults but usually

once a gardener always a gardener. About a month ago, I was approached by Pam Watland, a coordinator with an organization called Hands in Service. These people play a special part in the lives of folk who can’t for various reasons do many of the activities most people take for granted; housekeeping and grocery shopping for instance. Pam told me they have a program started last year that provides clients with planters that fit on the balcony or patio so their clients can enjoy that popular activity called gardening that is so rewarding to all of us. The program is called Living Salads, and it was realized from last year’s experience that the project would be better met if they could match each client receiving a planter with a gardening mentor. What a great idea! I don’t know of any gardener out there who doesn’t love sharing his or her expertise with others. And from a human standpoint, what a great
way to connect with our fellow brothers and sisters who do not have quite the same opportunity as we. Hands in Service is looking for volunteers who can be of service from May to early October. This would entail about 1/2 hour per week in time but the rewards would be priceless. While a little gardening expertise would be an asset, for my part I have committed to provide the necessary cultural support when needed so for novice gardeners this could be a win-win situation. The folk at Living Salads is looking for up to 100 volunteers and this says to me there is a real need for this endeavour. For more information and to find out how you can get involved call: For more info about the program, call Pam Watland at 250-861-5465 or email pam@handsinservice.ca.

Local seniors invited to audition for talent contest Chartwell Retirement Residences has announced that local auditions will be held in June for Senior Star, Canada’s largest talent competition dedicated to seniors. Now in its seventh year, this singing and musical instrument competition is open to anyone who is 65 years and over and a Canadian resident. The Chatsworth Retirement Suites & Bungalows will host regional auditions in May at 1831 Parkview Cres., in Kelowna. Call 250-860-1064 for more information as registration forms can be obtained at The Chats-
worth. Contestants do not have to be living in a Chartwell residence to take part. “Chartwell’s Senior Star has grown to become the largest celebration of senior talent in Canada,” said Brent Binions, president and CEO of Chartwell Retirement Residences. “We are proud to support the incredible talent of today’s seniors and continue to be amazed and entertained year after year by the calibre of performers who participate.” During the regional competitions, contestants are given a maximum
of five minutes to sing a song, play an instrument, or do both, and their performance is videotaped. A panel of three judges, made up of local musical experts, government officials, and media representatives choose the top three local contestants, each of whom will be recognized with a Senior Star trophy. Videos of the first and second place winners from across Canada are then submitted to a celebrity panel of judges who will narrow the list to eight competitors invited to compete in the Senior Star National Final to be held in November 2013.
Lake Country Seniors Centre plans AGM coming up in June Lake Country Seniors Centre is starting to wind up for the summer. Everyone at the centre has had a busy fall, winter and spring, as the centre has been a great place to meet with friends and socialize. “During our times spent together whether it be a group function, planned functions or lunch, it is nice to know someone cares,” said the Lake Country Seniors Centre press release. The centre’s annual general meeting takes place on June 5 at 1 p.m. The board of directors will be in attendance and happy to answer any questions or listen to new ideas to better utilize the centre’s facilities. There will be refreshments served and most of the centre’s user groups will have members present to take questions. The centre plans to start a couple of new exercise groups for seniors to help
people keep in shape for the summer. Boomer Blast which is a more physical workout will be on Tuesdays from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., and Fridays, 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. Get Up & Go will be held Tuesdays, 9:45 to 10:45 a.m., and Fridays, 5 to 6 p.m. There will be some chair exercises for those that have more trouble moving. And there will be a walking group starting every Tuesday at 8 a.m. from the centre for those who like to walk with someone. As well, the government is offering a program in which you can participate in an exercise group and be reimbursed $50 towards the program expenses. To get these funds you must have a prescription from your doctor and a receipt from the group you participate in, fill in the form and submit it to the government to receive the grant.

NOTICE OF INTENT T13-051 MacKay Coin-Only Parking Meters Notice is hereby given by the City of Kelowna of its intent to contract with Trafco of Edmonton, Alberta to provide replacement of the internal mechanism on the City’s coin operated meters so they can accept the $2 coin. The contract will not exceed $147,545. The City has chosen not to call for supplier proposals for the following reason: 1. MacKay internal mechanisms distributed by Trafco are the only coin chutes that will retrofit the existing meter housings. Suppliers wishing to object to this decision should contact the person identified below either by fax or email on or before 3 pm May 23, 2013, presenting specific reason for their objection. If justified a suppliers meeting with City representatives will be called to receive supplier presentations regarding this contract. Supplier ability to offer product and/or services resulting in the same or better solutions at a lower cost during the same time frame will be the key criterion with regard to the supplier objections. For additional information please contact: Ryan Chernoff, City of Kelowna Purchasing Department, 1435 Water Street, Kelowna BC V1Y 1J4, telephone 250-469-8553 or fax 250-862-3392 or email purchasing@kelowna.ca. kelowna.ca

PETS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
LACEY
ADULT DOBERMAN/AUST. SHEPHERD CROSS SPAYED FEMALE
Lacey is a friendly girl looking for her permanent loving home. She is quite shy at first, but quickly bonds with her caregivers. She is intimidated by powerful men, but responds well to loving people. She is playful, active, outgoing and affectionate, loves car rides & settles down at night without a peep. She knows her basic commands, but would benefit from more training. If you would like to meet this sweetie, please call our Dog Staff.
Dogs cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The hot air and upholstery in vehicles prevents dogs from cooling themselves.
Please leave pets at home If you see a dog in a car on a warm or humid day who you believe may be in trouble, ask stores to page customers. If the dog is in distress call your local SPCA, animal control or police immediately. More information at spca.bc.ca © 2012 BC SPCA

Hello everyone! My name is Kitty and I came to the shelter in hopes of finding my forever home. I am 10 years young (my owner has had me my whole life) and I am looking for companionship and longtime cuddle sessions. I am a bit of a Diva and prefer the company of people to other cats, so I would prefer a home where I am the only furry companion. I like to talk to you when I’m in the mood, and wind around your legs. If you would like to meet me, please come to the SPCA … I am awaiting your arrival!

Adopt a Pet and take
Travis has great potential as a running or hiking companion due to his high energy level. He is learning his manners on leash, & responds nicely to verbal praise or a treat. He really calms down after a good walk. It will be important that his new guardian be his pack leader. He wants to socialize, but doesn’t quite know how yet. If you feel that this ‘diamond in the rough’ would be a good fit for your home, please come down for a meet & greet.

CAPITAL NEWS
CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen it's BBQ season It seems to me that the Victoria Day long weekend is the start of summer in a way, with a sudden influx of visitors to the Okanagan and some people dusting off the barbecue and cleaning out the cobwebs from the deck chairs. Personally, I barbecue all year long on a covered deck, but I realize not everyone is quite so enthusiastic. Nonetheless, this the time of year when we invite family and friends to join us on the patio instead of in front of the fireplace. It’s a more-informal sort of entertaining, with food interrupted by frisbee and horsheshoes, croquet and bocce. It’s finger food instead of six-course sit-down meals; paper napkins instead of cloth; and the best silver and china can stay in the buffet for a few months. Whatever you serve, make sure you have everything prepped ahead of time so you can enjoy yourself as well, or have everyone bring a part of the meal to lighten the load. There are lots of excellent local VQA aromatic whites and roses that make terrific patio sippers; or reds that you can serve alongside your meat dishes that are just a little lighter than the more robust reds of winter. Or, splash together a sangria punch with wine, club soda, fresh slices of lemon, lime and orange, a touch of sugar and a dash of brandy. Vary the fruits with what’s in season and the brandy with other spirits for a change of pace. Traditionally, it’s made with red wine, but who says you can’t change it up a little? Whatever you serve, have fun and so will your guests. For more patio entertaining ideas, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold, or at local wine shops.

Spicy Asian Barbecue Sauce This has an Asian flavour to it, and it’s a very flexible sauce. It's great with pork ribs, fish or prawns done on the barbecue. You can make it days ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. 1 tbsp. (15 ml) minced ginger 3 green onions 1 clove garlic 1 tbsp. (15 ml) oil 1 tsp. (5 ml) sesame oil 3 tbsp. (45 ml) ketchup 2 tbsp. (30 ml) soy sauce 2 tbsp. (30 ml) brown sugar 1 tbsp. (15 ml) dry sherry 1 tbsp. (15 ml) sherry vinegar
1 tsp. (5 ml) Sriracha hot sauce Mince fresh ginger, green onions and fresh garlic. Heat both oils in a small pot over medium-high heat and add the minced ginger. Turn about for a minute, then add the green onions and garlic. After stirring for a minute or two add the remaining ingredients, turning the heat down to medium. Simmer for five minutes or so, stirring occasionally, and then cool the sauce. Makes about a half cup.
Lamb and tomato are a good match and this is quite delicious. We tried it while on a camping trip, with barbecued red potatoes and fresh asparagus, and a glass of The View’s 2009 Pinotage, which was incredibly rich and smooth, with lots of juicy ripe berry flavours and silky tannins—not the chewy sort.
MEAT:
1 lb. lamb chops or steaks
MARINADE:
1 clove garlic 1 tbsp. (15 ml) tomato paste
2 tsp. (10 ml) vodka 2 tsp. (10 ml) teriyaki sauce 1/4 tsp. (2 ml) hot sauce pinch of chili flakes salt and pepper, to taste Mince garlic and combine with remaining marinade ingredients in a bowl that will hold the lamb snugly. Add lamb and turn about in the marinade until there’s a good smear of the paste all over each piece. Refrigerate overnight. Grill over high heat for five minutes or so a side, or until it’s slightly charred outside but still rosy inside. Serves 2.
