Mixed results to start of local tourist season
Kevin Parnell
STAFF REPORTER
While preliminary figures show the number of visitors that attended Kelowna’s tourist information centre was down slightly this weekend over last year, tourism operators were generally happy with the May long weekend, the traditional kick-off to the summer tourist season. Stellar weather, several annual events and the wine and golf industry brought a steady stream of tourists to the Okanagan over the May long weekend, hinting at a continued rebound in the tourism industry since the low of 2009. “Weather tends to play a big role in long weekend activity and we had a beautiful long weekend,” said Catherine Frechette, communications manager at Tourism Kelowna. “We had a lot of people inquiring about camping, wine touring, golf, some wedding parties, all those types of activities that bode well for tourism.” In terms of geographic markets, the majority of inquiries to Tourism Kelowna on the weekend were from Alberta, specifically Calgary, as well as other parts of B.C. including the Fraser Valley. Frechette said most people were asking about the area’s attractions, wineries and parks and were also asking about maps and ways to get around the area. “One trend that has been taking place that is continuing is last minute bookings. We are seeing a lot of people holding back to see what the weather is going to do before they make their plans last minute.” In terms of accommodations, Frechette said the hotel industry is feeling good heading into the 2013 season with small increases year over year dating back to ‘09. “There is optimism for sure,” she said. “We’ve made small gains in the last few years and are climbing our way back from the recession in ‘09. As of last year, we are not quite at the same numbers when we look to the peak in ‘08, but we are climbing back.” One thing making it more complicated to track tourism numbers is the public’s growing reliance on online ways of finding information rather than actually going into the visitor centre. Tourism Kelowna’s Facebook page is the most popular one in Kelowna and the company also receives many requests for information via it’s Twitter handle (@kelownavisitor). “It’s going to be an interesting summer,” said Frechette. “It’s all heading in the right direction.”
MAY DAYS BLOOMS…

Record turnout for annual May Days Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Close to 30,000 people took in the 54th annual Rutland May Days celebration on the weekend, the biggest crowd ever to attend the celebration. That included the largest parade ever, as well as the popular West Coast Amusements fair grounds and a stellar lineup of entertainment, drawing 4,000 more people through the gates to continue a renaissance for the community festival which was in dire
straits just four years ago. “It was amazing, the best turnout yet in attendance,” said organizer Chris Brown. “Our entertainment lineup was phenomenal, everybody was walking around the grounds smiling. The only complaint I had was when we had to shut down Sunday night. Overall it was great.” This year’s attendance record marks a stark turnaround from 2009, when just 4,000 people took in the event. That was the last year when the fastball tournament and beer

gardens were the focal activities of May Days. West Coast Amusements began as part of May Days in 2010 and every year since, as May Days has shown an increase in attendance. “I attribute the growth to a number of factors,” said Brown. “The rides attract kids and kids bring their parents. “Also the acts on the entertainment stage were top notch acts that people will pay to see and are included in the gate admission ($2). “There is also more aware1

ness of the event now than in the past.” May Days is the main fundraiser for the Rutland Parks Society, and while final figures are still being tallied, Brown says this year’s event raised between $30,000 and $40,000 for the society. The proceeds are directed towards improvements to Centennial Park, which is operated under the auspices of the society.

Bulk water station service to cost 82 cents per cubic metre A new supply of potable water is now available in the District of West Kelowna with the commissioning of a filling station at Asquith and Shannon Lake Roads. The bulk water station gives residents and commercial operators the ability to fill tanks and bottles at a cost of 82 cents per
cubic metre. A minimum charge of $5 per fill will apply. Users may contact the district’s utility billing department at 778-797-8850 to set up an account and obtain a pin code that will enable them to access the stations. Residents will be charged a one-time ad-
ministration fee of $25 to cover the cost of setting up the account and issuing and activating a code. Residents will be required to confirm West Kelowna residency to receive the residential rate. A $50 start-up fee will apply to commercial and non-resident customers. Now that the station is

A FIREFIGHTER sprays down the area where a Ford Mustang GTO crashed

▼ KNOX MOUNTAIN RACE
Driver sent to hospital after hillclimb crash Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Emergency vehicles were forced to drive up the Knox Mountain Hillclimb racetrack Saturday after a Ford Mustang GTO crashed between the second and third corners of the course. Emil Hamm, turn marshall for the third bend, said he heard the crash just before 1 p.m. “We heard an impact, grabbed the fire bottles and two of us ran down— there was a fire there,” said Hamm. “We succeeded in getting it reasonably controlled. The driver was moving most of the time, he was saying that he couldn’t get out.” Hamm realized the door was jammed just as the local fire suppression team arrived. “We were able to make sure it was controlled and (the driver) got fresh air and fresh water into the cabin.” Emergency crews arrived a short time later to extricate the driver and take him to hospital. Hamm noted the driv-
er appeared to have minor injuries, but “should be OK.” According to the 56th annual Knox Mountain Hillclimb 2013 entry form, the car was expected to be driven by both John and Tom Edwards. Whether it was Tom or John driving at the time of the crash was unclear when the accident occurred. Later media reports indicated that Tom Edwards was behind the wheel. Bruce Newton, who was in charge of safety for the weekend races, said the driver was in his 50s. “The driver seems to be OK—we’ve sent him in (to be checked out) at the hospital,” said Newton. “It looks as if all the safety equipment in the car that’s designed to help in this situation certainly benefited him.” Newton said the car was likely going about 60 mph before the vehicle spun off course and crashed into a tree. “Unfortunately, with a big tree like that, it makes
the car stop a lot faster. The cage is built inside these cars to take a lot of stress, but it’s a little harder on the driver when the car stops so quickly.” The safety official said he’s worked at the Knox Mountain Hillclimb for 26 years and this is one of the most significant collisions he’s witnessed during that time. “Usually it’s pretty good, the guys are familiar with the hill—a lot of them (have) raced here a lot of years. But every now and then you get a little hiccup and something goes wrong,” said Newton, adding the driver in the crash had driven the Knox Mountain course often. According to Newton, the Knox Mountain Hillclimb has all the safety equipment in place that’s required by the Confederation of Autosport Car Clubs. “We have fire equipment on scene and medical people here…but when (we) get in a situation where we don’t want to take any chances…we call in the experts.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

▼ FUNDRAISER
BrainTrust to host barbecue lunch At the commencement of Bike to Work/School week, BrainTrust Canada will put on a fundraiser barbecue lunch Monday, May 27, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the Rotary Commons, the grassy area next to Rotary Centre for the Arts on Cawston Avenue in Kelowna. The proceeds will be directed towards the purchase of helmets for youth in Kelowna and to support brain injury prevention. The community is invited to attend and support the cause by purchasing lunch for a minimum $5 donation. Lunch will include a hot dog or hamburger, plus a bag of chips and juice. Kal Tire is providing the barbecue and sponsoring the food, along with a donation from Costco. Employees from Graycon are volunteering as part of their ‘karma inspired’ community commitment to support charities through their business mantra—“If you do good, good things happen.” The fundraiser is in support of BrainTrust Canada’s helmet safety program, its goal being to decrease preventable brain injury through helmet compliance. Programs partners the City of Kelowna bylaw and RCMP bike squads use socialization, education and lastly enforcement to communicate this message throughout the year. Helmets are sponsored by Interior Savings and Nutcase Helmets, provided to those who cannot afford them, with an emphasis on youth. Also, coupons from McDonald’s and Dominos will be used as “positive tickets” to randomly reward youth for positive safety behaviour. “Funding is very limited for this initiative this year,” explained Magda Kapp, director of communications at BrainTrust Canada. “We are seeking sponsors to help us purchase helmets and prevent brain injuries—and would love to hear from anyone interested in supporting our cause.” “I still marvel at the number of adults and youth that don’t wear their helmets while bike riding,” added Kelowna Mayor Gray. “First, it’s the law, and second, through the work of BrainTrust Canada in our community, I have come to understand the severity of brain injury. It really only takes an instant to sustain injury that can last a lifetime—caused by simple things like gravel on the road, an animal running out in front of you, or someone backing out of their driveway without looking. Helmets can prevent up to 85 per cent of brain injuries, so I implore everyone to be safe while they are out there having fun this summer.” Brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability for those under the age of 44, and youth are at the highest risk of injury.

A helpful alternative to welfare I n Canada, we have many reasons to be thankful. We live in a vast and beautiful space and enjoy freedoms and luxuries many in the world can only dream of. Still, there are some areas in which Canada could stand to improve. A recent article in Maclean’s magazine shared some of the stats from a United Nations agency report on the status of Canadian children. In this report, Canada was ranked in comparison to 28 other industrialized countries and we didn’t score as well as you might think. We came in 17th for overall well-being and did poorly when it came to providing the basic necessities for children to grow into healthy and productive adults. In terms of health and safety, including vaccination rates and infant/child mortality, we ranked almost dead last—in 27th place. We are in the bottom third for relative child poverty. Actually, poverty is said to be at the heart of many of our health problems. In past columns, I have written about the negative health effects of poverty. It is probably the single biggest predictor of poor health. That is not news, and yet what are we doing to reduce or eradicate poverty in Canada? According to the Maclean’s article, Canada has had a relatively stable

approach to this issue. One idea that warrants further investigation is a guaranteed annual income or negative income tax. This would replace our current welfare system and would ensure Canadians had a certain minimum income. Those not earning enough from their work would see their income topped up through the tax system to a designated minimum amount. Unlike welfare, which is clawed back when

people get employment or attend school, this money would be a grant to be spent as Canadians chose. Of course, critics of this idea say it would result in laziness and people losing the motivation to better their employment circumstances. Proponents of this idea believe it would bring positive results on several fronts. Not only would a negative income tax replace the paternalistic and oppressive welfare system we currently have, but it would lower administrative costs substantially by delivering through the existing tax system and it would also reduce the negative health impacts of poverty. These potential positives have garnered a growing number of advocates from all political backgrounds. We do already have a similar system in place for seniors in Canada. Implementing the guaranteed income program for seniors brought this country’s poverty rates among the elderly
way down. We now have some of the lowest poverty rates for this age group—compared with some of the highest for child poverty. In the 1970s, a pilot project in Manitoba tested the guaranteed income model and new research examining its health effects found that even modest income security decreased hospital visits by 8.5 per cent and also significantly lowered doctor visits and mental health issues among those participating. I think a program such as this should be tested on a larger scale to determine if it may prove more beneficial than our current social assistance program. It could just revolutionize the way we treat poverty in Canada—and by extension could improve many aspects of the health and well-being of our citizens.

▼ PUBLIC FORUM
Focus on corporate power The interests of corporate profits against the needs of individual communities will be the topic of discussion at public meeting hosted tonight (Tuesday) by the Kelowna chapter of the Council of Canadians. The forum will be held at 7 p.m. at the French Cultural Centre at 702 Bernard Avenue in Kelowna. The guest speaker will be Stuart Trew, national trade campaigner with the Council of Canadians. “The Canadian government has signed, is negotiating and seeking to ratify a variety of new corporate rights treaties that promote and lock in the rights of corporations to make a profit while undermining communities’ abilities to make decisions in their own interest,” said Karen Abramsen, chairwoman of the Kelowna chapter of the Council of Canadians. “Like NAFTA before them, these deals are not about trade. Every new agreement further entrenches a corporate vision of deregulation, resource exploitation and privatization.” The Council of Canadians’ trade campaign is dedicated to the concept of trade justice, which means a trade regime designed by and for people —not corporations. “We oppose all free trade regimes designed to increase the power of corporations at the expense of social, environmental and economically sustainable development,” said Abramsen. “These have included NAFTA and the WTO, the failed Free Trade

Area of the Americas and Multilateral Agreement on Investment, and the recent explosion of Canadian bilateral trade agreements with developing countries and, importantly, the European Union. “We are working for trade policy reform in Canada. Our demands include full transparency in trade negotiations, the enforcement of environmental and human rights protections, the strengthening of local and national environmental, economic and social policy, and full accountability for the activities of multinational corporations operating abroad.” The Kelowna forum is part of an eight-city speaking tour in B.C. to build opposition to Canada’s corporate trade agenda.
These “next generation” deals include the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement with the European Union, the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations that Canada joined this past December, and countless investor rights pacts, like the one with China, called foreign investment promotion and protection agreements. Opposition to these deals is building, said Abramsen, noting that more than 80 municipalities have passed resolutions voicing their concerns or opposition to the CETA negotiations. Abramsen added that nearly 100,000 people signed a petition against the Canada-China FIPA, and the Hupacasath First Nation has launched a constitutional challenge to its ratification.

Harper needs to stop hiding
A
ll eyes will be on Prime Minister Stephen Harper this week as he tries to get his Conservative Party political ship back on course. While the hype about today’s meeting with an increasingly disgruntled caucus is likely to deflate into little actual end result, the fact remains that Harper needs to get the country back on track in the two years ahead of the next election. The self-absorbed spending habits of senators Mike Duffy
and Pamela Wallin, former journalists who should have known better, and the bizarre action by Harper’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to cut a cheque for $90,000 to Duffy to cover his repayment of improper housing expenses are political headaches that the PM needs to find a public relations aspirin for and move on. Both Wallin and Duffy resigning as Conservative appointed senators is a positive first step.
250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575
But the question is move on to what? Since finally winning his long-coveted majority government, Harper has done little with it. He has consolidated power within the PM’s office, to the chagrin of many of his Conservative caucus members, a clear to sign to many of them that they’re not worthy of standing in the firing line of public scrutiny. Next to U.S. President Barack Obama, attacks on Harp-
er from the Opposition amount to slingshot next to the political howitzers aimed at the White House. Perhaps that is why Harper seems to have adopted a bunker mentality, one that easily counters weak political opposition but does little to show any easily direction that Canadians can feel excited about. Perhaps the wayward spending senators will offer a wakeup reminder to the Conservatives not to take voters for granted.

any less optimism about their futures then their parents had. Sure, it’s tough out there, but what are the options? I have a daughter who will graduate next month who is not the most organized kid in the world by a long shot. But she is far more prepared for her future after high school than I was at her age. And , hey, I turned out okay. I own a house, pay my taxes, have managed to hold onto a job for enough time that qualifies me for a credit card and I even found the money to pay for half of her prom exorbitantly expensive prom dress (Her mom payed for the other half.)
In short, for a disorganized guy, my life has turned out pretty good. Of course, my daughter is a big part of how good I think my life is. That really hit my Saturday night as I danced with her at her prom. She wasn’t the helpless little being who entered my world 17 1/2 years ago. She is a beautiful young, talented and capable woman with her life ahead of her who knows some of what she needs to know and will figure the rest out as she goes along. And that’s how it should be. Like she did as a toddler, she will fall down and scrape her knee, get up dry her tears and keep going. Her mistakes will be her lessons

and her triumphs will be her pride. She doesn’t have to have all the answers right now. None of the kids who graduate this year do. Finding those answers is what we call life. So as I twirled her on the dance floor, I thought to myself, she’s going to be okay. Who knows, in 20 years, she may be thinking the same thing about her child. In the meantime, all us parents of grads need to take a deep breath and get ready to let go. Face it, our kids are no longer kids.

▼ DEVELOPMENT
No use railing against growth in Kelowna To the editor: It was with great interest that I read the article Uncurbed Development A Recipe For Disaster? (Capital News, May 16), where Judie Steeves reported on University of Alberta ecology professor Dr. David Schindler’s talk at the annual conference of the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution recently held at UBCO. In the story, Schindler said that it’s time to shut the doors on growth in the
Okanagan, as the increasing resident population is taking too great a toll on the environment and, as such, is not sustainable. Having spent considerable time trying to deliver the same message here without success, my immediate reaction was that he was wasting his time and should take his message elsewhere. I then jotted down some of the reasons why I felt that way. Before I knew it, I had an entire page which I have re-
duced to my top 10 reasons why David Schindler’s message is likely to fall on deaf ears in Kelowna: 10. Residents are too busy playing golf to think about the matter. 9. Residents are too busy flipping houses to think about the matter. 8. Tofino is the planning department’s model city for freshwater management. 7. Residents believe that if we run out of drinking water, we can always
drain Okanagan Lake. 6. Growth control is against their religion as most residents worship the god Mammon. 5. Kelowna is so far to the right politically that a “progressive” here would be considered a reactionary in most communities. 4. There are no environmentalists in Kelowna. It is called the Green Party here because green is the colour of money. 3. Residents think that building high-rises is a long-term solution as it is
widely believed that their occupants don’t use water or drive cars. 2. Kelowna residents will not only wait until the 11th hour to confront their environmental limitations but to the last second of the last minute of the 11th hour. 1. Appealing to reason in Kelowna is as useless as appealing to the rain god in the middle of the Sahara Desert. John Zeger, Kelowna

where family memories are made
Where’s Kelowna going to put more people To the editor: I was at the (Kelowna) council meeting about the proposed Hiawatha development (last month) when council made the decision to proceed with the proposed building plan. It must have been a good drama night for the mayor and council, listening to people pour their hearts out about why this development shouldn’t be approved. So they missed a couple of nights sleep before they made their deci-
sion—I’m sure the people affected had lost more than a couple of nights sleep over this development proposal. I understand that the developer Westcorp is an Edmonton-based company. Are they planning to bring in their own people for this project or will be people from Kelowna be hired? Do they check to see if the schools will be able to handle the influx of more children? Or do the parents get a surprise when they go to the school and
find out the closest school is unable to take their children and they must be bused to another school? Did council investigate how many of the new buildings that have already been built currently sit unoccupied? It would only make sense to do a study before approval is given for another large complex. Another thing to consider, can the present water and sewer system handle the extra load or will the city have to widen Lakeshore Road, there-
▼ COQUIHALLA
Painted lines needed on highway To the editor: We drove the Coquihalla, both ways, last weekend. No lines at all—no paint at all—just the bare road and plenty of new pot holes. Our government in B.C. takes more than $800 millions from ICBC accounts and there is no money for paint? I hope the next people
who are involved in a night-time accident sue the B.C. government— through ICBC—for negligence in the upkeep of the safety lines missing from the highway. There is just no excuse for this—none. The government and ICBC should have their feet put to the fire. Funny thing is there was $540 million avail-
able for a new fancy roof for B.C. Place Stadium. No painted lines mean that you really have no idea what part of the road belongs to you and what part belongs to other drivers. Let us get this paint on the roads. Jorgen Hansen Kelowna
by tearing it up again to be updated? It has been suggested that affordable housing will be available in this development for $1,200 a month rent, which is not affordable to people on a pension or disability. What is estimated as being affordable? Purchasing a mobile home was affordable. I live in a mobile home park and I am quite comfortable. We all take pride in or lots. I think it is cruel to take it away just because
the rich can afford better homes and look down on people who can’t afford better. If this complex is to bring more people in Kelowna to live, where are they going to find employment? There isn’t any of that which is why people are leaving the city. There aren’t enough jobs for people who live here now, never mind encouraging more to come. M. Metlowsky Kelowna

The reasons are many for exploration of this pursuit, all of them honourable and admirable. But I am mindful this

nothing. A lesson new entrepreneurs often find difficult to talk is this—no matter what you do or how well you do it, there will always be people who will criticize. You will hear how you are not liked for the way you conduct your venture, or your product or service idea draws a negative reaction. It is a truth of entrepreneurship that all of us in the entrepreneurial world
must accept and embrace. I love entrepreneurs. They are the folks who make our society great. They are the same folks who will correct what is wrong, and make good things even better.

possibilities…well, they have my utmost respect and appreciation. Every year thousands of people make the transition from employee, student, housewife, immigrant, retired, disabled to become an entrepreneur. Just as many of them will succeed, many others will fail. Many of those failures can be attributed to simply not being ready to embrace the entrepreneurial challenge. Quitting a full-time job or career position to launch an entrepreneurial venture isn’t something to be taken lightly. How do you know if the entrepreneurial life is for you? Even if self-assessment tests indicate you’ve got the right personality for entrepreneurial success, that still doesn’t mean you’re ready to become one at this point in time. Do I have enough money? Is my family ready for the change? Does the market need a service or product such as I am embracing as my opportunity entry?
If the answers to these questions are all a resounding yes, then you may well be on your way to becoming an entrepreneurial venture owner. Most successful entrepreneurs recall a sense of urgency that prompted them to begin their journey beyond desire and actually a necessity. Many say they knew when the time was right for them to begin, while others say that getting fired, laid off or passed over for promotion fuelled the fire to branch out on their own. The literature tells us that a fundamental need to control one’s own destiny ranks very high on most lists for launching an entrepreneurial dram venture. Often this “ need” resonates so strongly that entrepreneurs will risk family, future and careers to become their own boss. Translating into being unable to feel truly fulfilled working for some-

one else, these individuals can’t be happy taking orders in any fashion from someone higher in the pecking order. A smart tip, according to many experts, is the final element that determines your readiness, being able to raise significant amounts of money from investors. I am confronted with this issue every day as an investment/finance broker who works to assist the good folks of western Canada to find investment/finance funds for their dreams. Currently, am exploring with other Okanagan entrepreneurs, a new approach to “angel investment” in our region. Stay tuned to hear more about that in the weeks ahead. But if you can make other people believe in your dream and share your goals to the point of providing cash and collaboration to your venture, chances are you will have what it takes to survive. Your reality check is once you’ve made the decision to break away, there are always a number of things you ought to do 3before taking the big step.
You do need to conduct thorough market research, acquire enough cash in a well-crafted plan and discuss the decision with your family and loved ones. Then, recognize the the rewards of entrepreneurial pursuit are not instantaneous. You better be ready to defer gratification and make substantial sacrifices to ensure your rewards eventually come your way. Please understand this: It’s a rarity that one person has all the qualities needed to be successful in venture creation. Everyone has strong and weak points in their makeup. What is important, however, is to recognize, acknowledge and understand those strengths and weaknesses and do something positively constructive about them. I would like to leave you this week with, I hope, an inspiring quote from a man of our North American history books that I pray will find its way embedded in your soul as you explore your entrepreneurial readiness. The quote is as a follows: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how
www.kelownacapnews.com A13
NEWS a strong man stumbles, or where a doer of deeds could have actually done them better. “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again. “Because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who is at the best, knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” I hope these words of another inspire you to become the best that you can be—and identify if you are ready for the entrepreneurial world.

Inaugural Okanagan Valley economic profile now available The first Okanagan Valley Economic Profile was released this week by the Okanagan Valley Economic Developers Society. The profile covers the member communities throughout the Okanagan and includes a wide range of demographic information pertinent to the local economy such as population, infrastructure, housing, education, labour force, industry and resources related to investing and living in the Okanagan. The profile is a valuable tool for market research with a wide range of users from potential in-
vestors, business students, trade and investment representatives to individuals researching the marketplace prior to starting a business, says the society. “Member communities at Invest Okanagan (OVEDS) recognize the need to market assets of the Okanagan to the global marketplace. Investors and visitors see the Okanagan as a whole with the unique attributes of communities throughout the valley adding value to the investment proposition,” said Corie Griffiths, the OVEDS chairwoman. “The profile provides detailed statistical and qualitative informa-
tion about the Okanagan as one means to showcase the region as a place to invest, work and experience.” The Okanagan Valley is truly one of the most desirable places to live, work and play in British Columbia, she added. “It appeals to residents, visitors and potential investors on several fronts, including an emerging technology sector, sustainable communities and year-round recreational opportunities,” said Griffiths. The economic profile can be downloaded from the website www.investokanagan.com.

Skills development supports viability of non-profit groups
T
he Human Resources Council for the Nonprofit Sector of Canada, first established in 2005, provides an exceptional online resource for nonprofit leaders—and it’s free. The labour market research is specific to this sector and the website (www.hrcouncil.ca) offers a variety of practical strategies and tools for enhancing organizational performance. The council’s stance is that human capital is a highly valuable asset which needs to be nurtured so that the organization overall can thrive. I’d say that’s a sound position, though I admit
WORK LIFE
Laurie Mills to being biased here. The council’s research notes the important role of the nonprofit sector in the national economy (comprising eight per cent of all paid workers) and to the social wellbeing of our communities. It also identifies key labour market and economic factors that threaten the stability of nonprofit groups that are not
nimble enough to adjust to the changing times. Specific labour market trends—a domestic workforce that is both aging and shrinking—imply that there is or will be a shortage of skilled workers. This reality magnifies the competitive need to be resourceful in finding good employees and actively finding ways to keep them. The research indicates that one of the reasons employees leave nonprofit organizations is because of the limited opportunities for development and career advancement. Depending on the size of the nonprofit, this rea-
soning makes sense. It also highlights the need and value of retention strategies that support ongoing learning. Nonprofit organizations also face unique financial challenges resulting from shifts in government funding and private donations. In light of that a common concern is how to justify using limited funds for training and development. Those of us working in the HR field know that this area is often first to go when budgets are cut back even though it has such potential to enhance employee satisfaction and performance.
The council’s response is that there is a “direct link between skills development and organizations effectively serving their clients and communities.” An important step for organizational leaders is to get sector funders and board members to recognize the value of the investment. There also needs to be committed support for it, including allocation of financial resources. The report presents some reasonable options for building a training budget—allocate an annual amount to each employee; dedicate a percentage of payroll; hold annual training events; and, partner with other organizations to share costs.
The shared cost model can also involve an employer/employee split of training expenses. The council’s research shows a positive link between follow through on employee training and development commitments and good HR practices. These practices would include conducting formal performance reviews that include development goals and involving employees in decisions about training activities. The council’s mandate focuses on building leadership capacity in nonprofit organizations— in management and on the board. Current research identified three priorities for skills development—strategic leadership; finances
and fundraising; and, partnership development. The council’s message is clear. When skills training and ongoing professional development are ingrained as policy and best practice also supported by strong leadership, the organization has a much better chance of being able to adapt and thrive. In the ever changing landscape of the nonprofit sector this is wise advice.

SENIORS Choosing an appropriate exercise program “Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” —Edward Stanley
C
hoosing the right exercise is a matter of finding an activity that helps you achieve your fitness goals and is safe, sustainable, and enjoyable. Exercise should also offer some degree of challenge so that the exercise increases or sustains fitness levels. There is no limit to available exercise options so you may want to begin with asking yourself: “Why do you want to start a fitness program?” Perhaps your doctor or physiotherapist suggested you become active? What are your goals? What are your health concerns or limitations? What activities do you enjoy? You are more likely to stick to an activity you enjoy. Fitness should be fun. If you’re a social person, a gym or health club membership may be the ticket. Group’s fitness classes also allow social butterflies to be around lots of people and enjoy camaraderie while also getting fit.

exercise program. There are also a number of specific exercise programs available for those with other health concerns such as arthritis, fibromyalgia or osteoporosis. If you struggle with the pain and stiffness of inflammatory ailments, you need to consider an appropriate exercise program for your condition. Low impact, low intensity exercise is recommended for those with arthritis to help preserve muscle strength, joint mobility, improve functional capabilities, relieve pain and stiffness, improve overall physical conditioning, re-establish neuromuscular coordination, and mobilize stiff or contracted joints. Non-weight bearing activities such as cycling, warm water exercise and walking, are recommended along with exercises to put all joints through their range of motion to maintain mobility. Exercise should be avoided during acute arthritic flare ups. For those with osteoporosis, an exercise program like Osteofit group fitness classes that include weight bearing exercise to increase bone mass and fall prevention exercises are key. Non-impact activities such as balance, functional and postural exercises may also benefit people with osteoporosis. Although these exercises don’t build or maintain bone density, they may increase muscle strength and decrease the risk of falls and fractures.

Take interest in civic government Kelowna City Hall wants residents to explore new ways to get involved in municipal affairs during this year’s Local Government Awareness Week, May 19 to 25. “Our residents are especially interested in their local government and being part of the decision-making process,” said Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray. “This week, we’re joining with municipalities across the province to encourage residents to continue to have their voices heard.” To encourage informed participation, the city has a public engagement RSS news feed accessible from kelowna.ca/getinvolved. Also, during planning processes, the city seeks input on upcoming parks, transportation, utility and community projects through open houses, workshops, surveys, online tools and social media. “My council and I are proud of the innovation exhibited by city staff in finding new ways to engage with the public,” said Gray.
“A great example is how staff have received information about the future of City Park—an online tool provides an interactive environment for residents and city staff to explore ideas for the future improvements of the park. City Park plans will evolve as a result of public input.” Anyone witha computer or smartphone can go kelowna.ca/ mycitypark to review the concept plan and ideas that have been submitted (the submission deadline was April 26) and the responses from city staff. This online engagement pilot tested the readiness of Kelowna residents to participate online in future city-led initiatives. An online forum associated with the pilot project has already shown early promise says the city, with nearly 2,500 visitors, 179 ideas and 241 comments. City offcials say online engagement platforms reduce barriers for residents who want the flexibility to be involved.
Another way residents are getting information is the old-fashioned way—through the mail. Residents will receive the annual City Views publication with their tax notices in the mail next week. The newsletter provides information on taxation and keeps residents up-to-date on city projects, including the changing face of Kelowna’s downtown and waterfront, and opportunities for active transportation. Residents can also stay informed by monitoring the city’s website, kelowna.ca, signing up for email updates through its e-Subscribe service or by joining the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Kelowna city council meeting agendas, minutes and highlights are posted on kelowna.ca, and the audio of the weekly Monday afternoon council meetings is broadcast live on Castanet.net and there are video recordings of the meeting broadcast on television at a later date on Shaw Cable.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC-Core™ UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works - if you can see results with animals - and we do.”
UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild product out, and they often did!” phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 consider it one on the greenest companies in the health food stores across Canada, in stores world.

Wakeboader adds ‘new tricks’ to his repertoire Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
By the time Erik Schroeder arrives home this week, the Okanagan wakeboarder will be a different competitor on the water. For nearly three months, Schroeder, a member of the Lake Country Board and Ski Club, has been working on his trade with top wakeboarders in Florida, training alongside some of the best competitors in the sport. During that time Schroeder, 13, has continued his schooling online through the Aberdeen Preparatory School in Kelowna. But it is on the water
where he’s really learning. “Since I arrived in Flordia, I have learned 12 new tricks,” said Schroeder. “And I’m getting stronger becuase my coach makes me do a lot of push-ups everyday. Florida has been awesome. It has been a fun trip and a great opportunity for me to progress in wakeboarding.” Among the new tricks Schroeder has learned is a Moby Dick, which is a backflip, backslide 360, which Schroeder may show off in his upcoming competition schedule. That will see him taking part in several events, leading up to the World Wakeboarding Association World Championships in Wisconsin in Au-
gust. “I’ll be training all year to try and take the title at the worlds in August,” said Schroeder. While in Florida, Schroeder competed in the King of Wake Nautique Wake Games alongside the best wakeboarders and wakeskaters from all over the world in the pro series. Schroeder placed third in the boys division (age 1014 years). The top riders from each division were then chosen for a team led by a pro wakeboarder and Schroeder was chosen by Canadian pro wakeboarder Rusty Malinoski. “I met so many cool people in the sport,” said Schroeder of the chance

He added seeing all of the talent has motivated him to keep getting better. “I want to continue
riding well and having the time of my life in the process. Ultimately I just want to push myself as much as possible,” he said.
Schroeder has long been on the radar for wakeboarding and, at just 13, is considered one of the top wakeboarders for his age in Canada. He
started wakeboarding at four and this summer he and his parents will move to Lake Country, with close access to both Okanagan and Wood Lake.

Emina Arima, with Owls teammates (left to right) Megan Witala, Morgan Hughes and Aspen Percival following up during the Okanagan Valley senior girls soccer final.
When it counted most, the Kelowna Owls delivered the goods against the Mt. Boucherie Bears. After losing the previous two meetings between the two rivals, KSS defeated the Bears 3-1 Thursday at the Apple Bowl to win the Okanagan Valley senior AAA girls high school soccer title. Megan Witala scored for the Owls just over a minute into the game to put the Bears in a hole early. Courtney Hemmerling added another goal at the 25-minute mark, then Savannah Gellner made it 3-0 five minutes later to essentially put the game
out of reach. Boucherie scored the lone goal in the second half, but the damage had been done as the Owls downed the Bears for the first time in three tries this season. “We knew if we stuck to our game plan, played the way we had been playing the past few games, it was a matter of time before we found a way to be successful against them,” said Owls coach Arnar Bernhardsson. “I don’t think I expected we’d score three in the first half but we just made the best of all of our opportunities.” Bernhardsson said the Owls made the necessary adjustments to shut down the Bears’ top players, in-

Nevertheless, head coach Adrian Zuyderduyn was pleased with his team’s effort in the valley final and the season in general. “While we didn’t achieve the result that we’d hoped, we played hard,” said Zuyderduyn.
“Kudos to KSS for having an effective plan that put a damper on our attack— we had our chances but couldn’t finish. However, they found the time and space and finished theirs. They should represent the Okanagan well at this year’s provincials. Overall, we had a very successful season.” The Owls will represent at valley at the B.C. School Sports girls AAA championship, May 30 to June 1 in North Vancouver. KSS, which has won six valley titles, last competed at provincials in 2011 when they played seventh.

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Capital NewsC
At a position where depth is hard to come by in junior football, the Okanagan Sun have added a pair of key recruits for the upcoming B.C. Football Conference season. Offensive lineman Michele Vecchio and Ryan Wengelinski have committed to the club for the 2013 campaign. Vecchio, a soon-to-be graduate of the Rutland Voodoos, is already well known to the Sun coaching staff, having been a regular at indoor workouts this off season. He was an Okanagan
Michele Vecchio conference all-star on both sides of the line this past season for the Voodoos. The home grown Vecchio had his first taste of the junior game at Sun
spring camp earlier this month. “The guys were all bigger and faster than I am used to, but I have trained really yard this year so I guess it paid off,” Vecchio said. “My strength I think was good, I want to work on my speed for sure this year.” Wengelinski graduates from Vincent Massey High School Trojans in Winnipeg this spring. Ryan is the first player from that school to suit up for the Sun The 6-foot-4, 325-pounder was the top offensive lineman for his
club and a conference allstar in Manitoba this past season. Ryan says that his experience at Sun spring camp and the history of other players from Winnipeg in the Okanagan made his decision to travel 2,000 kilometres for football a relatively easy one. “I wasn’t sure about playing here when I came to town, I really thought of it as just another recruiting visit. But after seeing camp, and how everything was run, how we were treated by the coaches, directors and other players…everyone made
us feel really welcome,” Wengelinski said. “It doesn’t hurt that Kelowna is one of the most beautiful places in Canada.” Coach Shane Beatty is thrilled to have both players in the club’s lineup this season. “These two are fine young men,” Beatty said. “The thing about both of them is their maturity for players their age…they exceed there for sure. I think our offensive line has the potential to be good this year and deep talent wise.” Main training camp begins July 5.

Mustangs take senior girls valley soccer title The Immaculata senior girls soccer team was nothing short of dominant in winning the Okanagan Valley A championship for the third year in a row. The Mustangs, coming off the B.C. Catholics title, went unbeaten in four games to win the valley title over the May 11 and 12 weekend in Osoyoos. Immaculata defeated Clearwater, Ashcroft, and Similkameen in pool play,
then shut out in the Kelowna Christian Knights in the final. The Mustangs, coached by Paul Freire, will prepare for the B.C. A girls high school championship May 30 to June 1 in Rossland and Trail. Immaculata will be looking to improve on last year’s third-place showing when the Mustangs were ousted in a close semi-final game, 1-0.

Langley Blaze take four from slumping Okanagan Athleteics Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The first-place and hometown Langley Blaze added to the Okanagan Athletics’ early season misery, sweeping a fourgame series from the defending champs in B.C. Premier Baseball League action over the weekend. The A’s, who went 3216 last season, have lost nine in a row and are just 5-15 this season. The Blaze took down the A’s 2-1 and 7-1 on Saturday and 8-0 and 6-2 on Sunday. Head coach Evan Bailey points to injuries, a lack of breaks and generally mediocre play as keys to his club’s struggles this season. “It’s really been a perfect storm, a combination of things for us,” said Bailey, who led the
A’s to the PBL title last season. “We’ve played 20 games and honestly I don’t think we’ve played a good, complete game this season…we haven’t pitched well, hit well, run the bases well and taken care of the ball in the same game this season.” Due to his commitment to the national junior program, catcher/ pitcher Trevor Lofstrom has played in only eight games for Okanagan this season. Lead-off hitter Trevor Mlait, shortstop/closer Josh Croft and pitcher James Walker have all struggled with injuries, further putting stress on the A’s relatively small 15-man roster. Okanagan has come up on the short end of nine one-run games. “It’s definitely been one of the toughest and oddest seasons I’ve seen,”
Bailey added. “It’s been disheartening, you try and stay positive and the guys have been good, they’ve stuck with it. On top of everything, we really haven’t had a break, where last year it seemed we got them all the time. That’s baseball.” On the upside, the toughest part of the Athletics schedule is now behind them, with the majority of their final 28 games against sub-.500 teams. “I know we’ll make up ground,” Bailey added. “All you can do is keep your chin up and keep playing hard.” The A’s return to Elks Stadium for four games this weekend against the Victoria Eagles. Games go at 3 and 5:30 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Sunday.

water levels drop further. Greenway patrons may continue to use the northside creek underpass at Gordon Drive which remains open. The public is reminded that water levels may rise unexpectedly. Adults, 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 and docks are advised to keep their speed and waves down close to the shoreline to prevent wave erosion. And they should continue to watch for floating debris that may be in the lake as a result of the runoff.
The Kasugai Gardens summer hours extended Starting this week, residents and visitors can enjoy Kasugai Gardens throughout the evening. From now until Sept. 2, the gardens will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Kasugai Gardens are located off Queensway Boulevard east of Kelowna City Hall. The walled garden provides a tranquil environment featuring traditional elements of a Japanese garden such as stone lanterns, pine trees, a waterfall and pond. The gardens were completed in 1987 to symbolize the friendship between Kelowna and Kasugai, Japan, sister cities since 1981.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen early garden greens I’m harvesting the first baby greens from my garden, just to thin out the rows, and they are very tasty. As well, I notice that some of the herbs are just about ready to harvest, before they begin to set buds and flower, while the leaves are tender and full of flavour. This is the perfect time of the year for fresh thyme, oregano, chives, tarragon and parsley, so take the opportunity to snip fresh young herbs into all sorts of dishes, for every meal of the day. If you plan to dry some for the winter, now is also the ideal time to harvest them, before their strength is sapped by production of flowers. Oregano is actually more flavourful dried than fresh, and thyme is just as nice, as are rosemary and sage. Tarragon dries well too, but parsley and chives are better eaten fresh from the garden. Some herbs, like basil, do best preserved in an oil bath and tarragon makes a delicious vinegar. Mediterranean cooking requires lots of fresh herbs and garlic, tempered with lemon and wine, to give meat and even vegetables that distinctive fresh flavour. The hot, dry summers of the Okanagan are ideal for growing your own Mediterranean herbs because the climate is so similar. Most don’t even require much supplemental water so they’re very drought-tolerant options to add to your garden. Thyme crawls over my rock wall, softening the hard edges of that garden, while the sage makes a lovely purple splash when it’s in bloom. Herbs are beautiful as well as delicious, and we’re only just discovering some of their health benefits. Learn about even more dishes that are enlivened with fresh herbs or make good use of other spring vegetables in my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available wherever books are sold, including Codfather’s Seafood Market in Kelowna, where you could get some great fresh fish or scallops too.
Spud Salad with Herbs
Spuds make a good backdrop for lively flavours like bits of bacon and some fresh young herbs from your garden. This is perfect to take as your contribution to a pot luck supper or on a picnic with a cold chicken leg.
SALAD:
1 lb. (454 g) young potatoes 1/4 lb. (113 g) meaty bacon 4 green onions 1 garlic clove
DRESSING:
3 tbsp. (45 ml) white wine vinegar 2 tbsp. (30 ml) olive oil 1 tsp. (5 ml) honey salt and pepper, to taste
GARNISH:
fresh chives fresh parsley
fresh thyme leaves fresh tarragon
Scrub, dice and boil or steam young potatoes such as Warbas or red Pontiacs, drain and set aside in a serving bowl. Don’t overcook. Beat dressing ingredients together. Before the potatoes cool, pour the dressing over them and gently stir until all the potatoes are covered. Meanwhile, dice and cook the bacon, drain and set aside to cool. Drain off the bacon fat remaining in the pan except for a drizzle and chop the green onions and add, cooking over medium heat for just a few minutes, until limp. Mince the garlic and add, just before the onions are cooked. Add to potatoes and combine. Mix in the crisp bacon dice and top with minced fresh herbs—your choice or a combination of several. Serves 4-6.
Seared Scallops & Micro-greens
JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS
This is quick and simple to cook, and makes excellent use of the thinnings from the lettuce row in the vegetable garden, plus it looks very elegant and tastes terrific. It could be an appetizer or a main meal with a little wild rice pilaf on the side. The Intrigue Winery 2012 Riesling was a good pairing with this, with its lively acidity, nicely balanced with fruit flavours. 6 sea scallops coarse sea salt freshy-ground black pepper freshly-ground Szechwan peppercorns grapeseed oil butter
TOPPING:
2 tbsp. (30 ml) quartered hazelnuts 1 tbsp. (15 ml) balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp. (15 ml) walnut oil 1 tbsp. (15 ml) olive oil salt and pepper, to taste 2 tbsp. (30 ml) apricot preserves
GARNISH:
micro-greens minced chives
Quarter hazelnuts and toast lightly in a frypan over medium-high heat for just a few minutes. Set aside to cool. Prepare the rest of the topping in a little jug with a spout and when the nuts have cooled add them to it. Rinse and dry the baby greens, using whatever’s available: different lettuces, Chinese greens such as bok choy or mustard greens, kale, herbs such as parsley or cilantro... Smear serving plates with a spoonful of apricot preserves. I used one I made last summer from our apricots, with less sugar added, and the tartness was delicious with the sweet scallops. Lightly season the scallops with salt, pepper and something spicy like a little ground Szechwan peppercorn. Heat a cast iron frypan or other heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of grape seed oil and a pat of butter. When it’s good and hot, add the scallops, cooking them for a couple of minutes or until browned and caramelized before turning carefully with tongs to do the same on the other side. Spoon any extra melted butter over top as they finish cooking. Arrange the scallops on the smear of preserves, recombine the topping and pour a little drizzle of it over top. Arrange micro greens around the scallops on the plate. Serves two for a meal; six as an appie.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen
There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt
*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh
*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
