Premier calls byelection for July 10 Jewelry store Cheryl Wierda CONTRIBUTOR

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

PREMIER Christy Clark will have at least two opponents in her upcoming byelection

A young man who robbed a Kelowna jewelry store at gunpoint, shot at police as he ran off and then kidnapped a pizza delivery driver faces a minimum of seven years in prison for the crimes.

Devan Markcus Wong had been convicted of robbery twice before the armed December 2011 holdup of Premier Jewellery and Loans and because of that faces a legislated minimum of seven years behind bars, the court heard at his sentencing hearing Wednesday.

Crown counsel Dave Ruse contends the sentence for the young man should be at the upper end of eight to 10 years, while defence lawyer Grant Gray suggests a seven to eight year sentence for 20-year-old Wong.

“Seven years is indeed a very significant sentence for a person this young,” said Gray.

It was the afternoon of Dec. 6, 2011, when Wong, dressed in dark clothes and a ski mask, walked into the Bredin Road business and pointed a loaded 9 mm handgun at the two staff members before ordering one to load his duffel bag with jewelry.

Wong went into the back of the store several times to get more containers, at one point kicking owner Martin Strasser in the back, said Ruse.

During the heist, a customer walked up to the door and Wong pointed the pistol at her. She fled and went to another business to call 911, Ruse said.

A short time later, Wong, carrying at least two containers of jewelry under his arms, ran out of the store.

He quickly encountered police and dropped the jewels, which had a retail value of $250,000, and continued to run away.

One officer pursued him with his cruiser, while a dog handler, who was just coming off shift from the nearby Windsor Road police office, chased him on foot.

As Wong ran down a narrow alley, he fired two shots toward the officers before accosting a pizza delivery driver at gunpoint and forcing him to help make his escape.

While in the delivery car, Wong arranged to meet up with an accomplice on Westside Road, who threatened to kill the delivery driver if he got out of his vehicle.

Westside-Kelowna residents will be lining up at the polls again, less than two months after they decisively voted in former Liberal MLA Ben Stewart.

Premier Christy Clark announced Wednesday morning the riding’s byelection will take place July 10.

Last week Stewart told a crowd of media and supporters he would be stepping aside so Clark—who lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat to David Eby in the provincial election—could run in a Westside-Kelowna byelection.

The premier will be up against New Democratic Party candidate Carole Gordon, who earned 30.5 per cent of the Westside-Kelowna vote May 14, and Conservative candidate Sean Upshaw, who ran in Penticton during the provincial election and earned nine per cent of the vote.

Both Gordon and Upshaw plan to focus their campaigns on a local angle. Gordon stated the difference of her proximity to the riding compared to the premier’s distance from Westside-Kelowna is “a five-minute walk versus a five-hour drive.”

When asked how she plans to compete with the other candidates’ local stance, Clark said: “The community could choose to be represented by a premier or…could choose

to be represented by a member of the opposition NDP. “In terms of being able to deliver for the community, I think a premier is certainly in a better position to be able to do that.”

She added she plans to establish a second residence in the region, if elected. “I’m going to be up there a lot more than I think my opponents would suggest.”

Clark said she intends to continue focusing on issues Stewart was working on over the past four years.

“One of them is obviously Westside Road,” said Clark.

“It’s embarrassing, it’s the worst road in the province—we need to fix it.”

She added health care is an important local issue.

“We need to make sure appropriate health care is available locally for people. I’ve heard a lot about that.”

The premier said she will also continue to focus on bigger picture issues, such as economic growth and government spending. “I think this byelection, just like the general election, is going to be as much about growing the economy and strong leadership to get us through difficult times as it is about the important local issues.”

Clark plans to be in the region for “at least a few weeks” during the campaign.

NEWS ▼ BYELECTION

Voters will have options for casting a ballot in Westside-Kelowna Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Election B.C. says voters in Westside-Kelonwa will have plenty of ways to cast a ballot over the next 28 days.

“During the recent general election, more voters took advantage of advance and absentee voting opportunities than ever before” said Keith Archer, chief electoral officer.

“British Columbia offers voters an accessible and flexible electoral process. Westside-Kelowna voters have many ways to vote from now until general voting day (July 10).”

Premier Christy Clark, who is running in the byelection to try to win a seat in the B.C. Legislature after losing her Vancouver-Point Grey seat in the May 14 provincial election, announced Wednesday morning that the byelection will take place July 10.

The seat became vacant when Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart resigned on Tuesday following his re-election last month.

He stepped down to allow Clark to try and win the seat, considered a “safe” seat by the Liberals because of the size of Stewart’s victory in the provincial election.

Like in the provincial election,

residents of the Westside-Kelowna riding are eligible to vote if they are 18 years of age or older on Wednesday, July 10, 2013, (general voting day), are a Canadian citizens and they have lived in B.C. for the past six months.

During the byelection, voters can vote: • At the district electoral office until 4 p.m. on general voting day.

• At any advance voting location in the riding on Wednesday, July 3 to Saturday, July 6, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

• At any voting place in the riding on general voting day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

• By requesting a vote-by-mail package from the district electoral office or Elections BC. Voter registration for the byelection will close Wednesday, June 19 at midnight. Voters can register or update their voter information online at elections.bc.ca/ovr or by phone at a toll-free number: 1-800-661-8683.

Voters can also register or update their voter information when they go to vote.

All voters must prove their identity and residential address before voting or registering when voting. A list of acceptable identification is available from Elections BC.

The dates, times and locations of advance and general voting opportunities will be posted on the Elections BC website, published in local newspapers, delivered to all Westside-Kelowna households in a by-election pamphlet, and mailed to registered voters in the electoral district on yellow Where to Vote cards.

For more information, visit elections.bc.ca.

As of April 23 there were 44,830 registered voters in the Westside-Kelowna riding.

Inthe May 14 provincial election, voter turnout in Westside-Kelowna was 49.62 per cent.

Halt spread of invasive species Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Instead of plants poised to invade the Okanagan, this year during Invasive Species Week, the biggest concern regards a couple of aquatic molluscs which could cost the valley millions a year if they are allowed in.

Three different organizations are campaigning to prevent the spread of zebra and quagga mussels into B.C. waters, the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society, the Okanagan Basin Water Board and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray is adamant that B.C. must treat this threat very seriously. “We absolutely must keep these mussels out of our system.

We must do all that we can to protect our waters.”

It’s important to come up with a facility at all of B.C.’s borders to prevent vessels contaminated with either of the two species of mussel from entering

B.C. waters without first being decontaminated, he said.

And, he feels every boat launch in the province needs a facility that includes a high pressure water system to wash boats down with a one per cent salt solution.

“They can hide everywhere, even between the boat and trailer,” he noted.

“We can’t wait until we have a problem before we fix this. We have to prevent it,” he said.

Locally, the OBWB has launched its ‘Don’t Move a Mussel’ campaign with ads and educational presentations, and a new website: www.dontmoveamussel.ca filled with information about the mussels and steps that must be taken to prevent an invasion, particularly by boaters.

Biologist Lisa Scott is coordinator of the OASISS and explains that these freshwater mussels rapidly colonize hard surfaces and can clog water intake structures, impact recreation and devastate

local fisheries.

An invasion would be felt at the commercial and industrial level, as well as in the tourism sector and at the ecological level.

Direct costs and lost revenues are estimated at $42 million a year in the Okanagan if the invasive mussels do gain a toehold.

If the microscopic-sized young get into the lake system, they will multiply rapidly.

Aquatic biologist Heather Larratt warns there’s no question of being able to eradicate them once they’re here.

Scott says, “Invasive species know no boundaries. They span landscapes, land ownerships and jurisdictions. Because of this, it’s imperative that we work cooperatively to address the issue. We all need to take responsibility,” she says.

Invasive species out-compete native species when introduced outside their natural environment, and away from their natural enemies.

She notes that the

costs associated with invasive species in Canada are measured in the tens of billions of dollars and the costs are escalating.

Prevention is top priority, she said.

On land, there are concerns about such potential invasive plants as yellow starthistle, puncture vine and giant hogweed, as well as existing invasives such as the various knapweeds, baby’s breath, loosestrife, dalmatian toadflax, sulphur cinquefoil, hound’s tongue and burdock.

Kim Musfenden, bylaw enforcement officer with the Central Okanagan Regional District ,says they work to educate homeowners about such invasive plants, both by meeting face-to-face following complaints and by doing presentations about weeds of concern.

Methods of controlling such invasive plants is the main topic, including cutting and bagging and digging them out.

There are also bio-controls such as the

sociation president Jeet Dhukia says they’re prepared to educate another one.

Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm was sworn in this week as the newest in a long line of agriculture ministers in a short time, replacing Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick in that post.

Pimm was first elected in 2009 and is a former Fort St. John councillor. He has 25 years experience in the oil and gas industry and is president of Alpha Controls Ltd., a company that provides construction, maintenance and electrician services for construction projects.

Jeet Dhukia Dhukia says he is hopeful the new minister will follow through on Letnick’s commitment to try to make a replant assistance program more permanent because it’s such a vital program to the industry’s continued survival.

The current program

®

is just $2 million over two years, and “It’s all gone and there’s a big waiting list,” noted Dhukia.

Because such a major change as replanting an orchard takes years to bear fruit, growers have found it difficult to find the proper rootstock and trees to participate in the current program. It takes a couple of years to grow the seedlings and then another couple of years in the orchard before the first crop can be picked, he explained.

A replant program has

to be a long-term program because of the planning that’s required, he says.

He says the BCFGA has written the new minister congratulating him and inviting him to the valley to meet growers and talk about the industry. He will tell him about growers’ concerns that this province’s agriculture ministry budget is the lowest in the country, and ask that it be brought up to the national average.

As well, he said the industry is working to get some compensation

for the Columbia River Treaty, which not only provided flood protection for those south of the border, as it was intended, but also ended up providing cheap irrigation for orchards in Washington State.

As a result, the B.C. industry went from being 53,000 acres to today’s 17,000 acres in size.

South of the border, there are now 100,000 acres of apple orchard where once there was just desert, he says. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Premier from A1

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Last week she told reporters she plans to door knock and take time to listen to people’s local issues.

Telling your story most accurately —the Capital News

Alistair Waters Carole Gordon is getting a do-over.

The NDP candidate in Westside-Kelowna in the May 14 provincial election lost to Liberal incumbent Ben Stewart by more than 6,000 votes and garnered only 30 per cent of the vote.

But Gordon says now she likes her chances in the same riding just a few weeks later against Premier Christy Clark.

Gordon, who was named Tuesday as the NDP’s candidate in the upcoming byelection in Westside-Kelowna, met with the media in Kelowna and said despite her loss to Stewart—a victory in which he took 58 per cent of the vote— she feels the NDP did pretty well.

“I actually think we did okay,” she said standing beside NDP leader Adrian Dix. “We did better that in (the) 2009 (provincial election).”

Carole Gordon

Sean Upshaw

The local elementary school teacher said while the party approached her first about running again, the decision to go for it was “a mutual one.”

The Westside-Kelowna seat became available last week when Stewart announced he would step down to allow Clark to run in order to win a seat in B.C. Legislature. Clark lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat to NDP challenger David Eby on election night.

Dix said Gordon greatest strength heading into the byelection is that she has lived here for more than 40 years, making her a true local candi-

date.

“That’s a 40-year head start she has (over Clark),” said Dix. While neither Clark nor Gordon live in the riding, Gordon said her home is just a five-minute walk outside Westside-Kelowna boundary.

“That’s a five-minute walk verses a five-hour drive,” she said, referring to Clark’s home in Vancouver.

The premier has said that if elected, she will make the riding her “second” home.

As for the campaign, Gordon said she plans to get out and door-knock just as she did prior to the

May 14 election.

She challenged Clark to debate her about local issues at any and all upcoming all-candidates meetings.

Clark skipped every all-candidate meeting in Vancouver-Point Grey during the provincial campaign last month, instead focusing on campaigning for her party across B.C. She did debate Dix, Green Party leader Jane Sterk and B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins twice, on television and radio, and was considered the strongest debater of the four.

But one of her party’s local organizers noted following Gordon’s announcement Tuesday, no sitting B.C. premier has participated in election or byelection all-candidates debates at the riding level in 30 years in this province. It’s unclear if Clark plans to break that tradition.

Both Dix and Gordon said the upcoming byelection should focus on local issues, such as sen-

iors’ care, health care, road safety and a myriad of other issues that may seem to be provincial in nature but apply to this area, such as government spending using money that could go to pay for local programs and services.

“The local voters need a local representative,” said Dix, adding Gordon will speak up for local industries like fruit growing, wine and spirits, as well as other groups like small business and seniors.

Meanwhile, the B.C. Conservatives have named their candidate for the byelection.

Local realtor Sean Upshaw, who ran for the party in Penticton and came third behind Liberal winner Dan Ashton and second-place finisher NDP candidate Dick Cannings, will carry his party’s banner in the Westside-Kelowna vote.

On Wednesday, Clark set the date for the byelection as July 10. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

The accomplice has not been charged in the case.

Wong, a Surrey resident, left Kelowna that night on a one-way flight to Vancouver.

He was charged with the crimes several months later after he turned himself in.

In March, on what was to be his first day of trial, Wong pleaded guilty to kidnapping with a re-

stricted firearm, using a restricted firearm to commit robbery of two people at Premier Jewellery and Loan, covering his face with the intent to commit a crime, and discharging a firearm at two police officers in an attempt to evade arrest.

“I’d just like to apologize,” Wong told the court.

“It was wrong. I hurt a lot of people in the process…Basically, I made a bad judgement call, a stu-

pid decision, and I apologize for that.”

However, the Crown told the court the young man has a “disturbing” record for someone his age, with a “multitude” of convictions for disobeying court orders, two previous robbery convictions and a history in prison for behaviour that is “unacceptable.”

Gray, meanwhile, described Wong as a courteous young man who suffered emotional abuse

from his mother’s boyfriend following his father’s death when he was eight, and told the court that he believed that Wong could turn his life around if he takes advantage of programs in prison.

Wong has been in custody 16 months on the charges, and defence is seeking 1.5 times credit as he has spent much of his pre-sentence time locked in his cell 23 hours a day.

If given the enhanced credit, Wong could be credited for two years of his sentence being served already.

Justice John Savage is set to sentence Wong— and determine how much credit he will get for time already served—on June 26.

Okanagan College sharpens its image with donated equipment The mother of a photographer who captured some of the most notable faces at the Oscars, models in the making, and fashion’s glitterati, has now placed his camera, lenses and other equipment into the hands of Okanagan College.

Andreas Koessler, who recently died at his home in Maui, Hawaii at the age of 37, due to his advancing Alzheimer’s, began his photography career in the Okanagan, making a name for himself in the last decade shooting iconic images both in the U.S. and abroad that appeared in numerous magazines, including Architectural Digest.

“He did incredible work, shooting in London, Paris, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, New York, and Hawaii,” said his mother Ute Koessler, who made the donation.

“He was a world-class photographer known for his inspired and artistic landscapes and portraiture,” she said, noting there are more than 300,000

images stored on his computers.

“His portrait work with actors was established with his first client, Jon Voight, and it spiralled up from there.

“His ability to understand light, colour and space, allowed him to capture images through the lens in a unique way, that genuinely spoke to people.”

The significant donation includes Koessler’s professional quality Nikon D7000 Digital SLR capable of shooting six frames per second, plus various professional lenses including a Sigma DG 120-400mm tele-

range of things we can do,” said OC education technology coordinator Mike Minions.

Minions said he’s already put some of the equipment to use digitizing slides for the College’s Women in Trades program using the macro lens, while the wide-angle lens has been used to update classroom photos.

“I can see we’ll be able to use this as well for creating time-lapsed photography of students’ presentations, such as the recently held Studio Woodworking gallery exhibition,” Minions said.

“This is a tremendous asset for the college, and we are very grateful.”

This latest donation is part of a significant

amount of material Ute Koessler has passed on to Okanagan College.

In 2010, she donated an entire workshop of tools worth $87,000 that belonged to her deceased husband. Earlier this month, she also donated a 1989 Mercedes-Benz that is currently being raffled off to raise scholarship funds for the college.

An old sore gets exposed

S

preading chicken manure on city property to discourage a homeless camp is an act that has painfully torn a flimsy bandage off an old sore.

Last week’s incident in Abbotsford was picked up by media around the world, and the city took a public relations pummelling.

The following day, the city manager issued an apology, albeit one bereft of explanation.

The mayor followed with a hastily called press conference a day later, also accepting respons-

ibility but providing no further details, nor action plans. Both men said they were unaware of the initiative until it had been executed.

The public was led to believe this was the work of a handful of lower level authorities in city hall who thought they were taking affirmative action on a long-standing problem.

They were immensely wrong about the act, but right about the issue.

As crude and grossly misguided as this measure may have

been, it calls attention to an issue that clearly requires more far more government effort and engagement, and that includes the provincial level.

Under that layer of dung lies the large, extremely complex problem of homelessness. There are potentially 200 people who fall into that description in this city.

Homelessness involves myriad factors including mental health and drug addiction, which aren’t cured by chicken manure.

Business owners and

residents become understandably frustrated and fed up with the presence of transient street people, and the messes they create.

But chasing them from site to site is no answer—evidenced by the fact that the people who were targeted by the manure caper merely moved to another spot close by.

The PR damage control must now be followed by leadership and a recommitment to longterm solutions.

Premier shouldn’t duck her opponents in upcoming byelection

W

estside-Kelowna voters will go to the polls again July 10 in a provincial byelection.

But the question remains: Will they have heard Liberal candidate, Premier Christy Clark, debate her byeletion oponents directly by then?

It doesn’t take a political scientist to figure out that the Liberals see Westside-Kelowna as a “safe” seat.

Former MLA Ben Stewart easily held the riding for the party in the May 14 provincial election, taking 58 per cent of the vote before he agreed to step down so Clark could run.

Stewart’s large percentage of the vote was up from 2009, when he also took a more than 50 per cent of all votes cast. In fact, candiAlistair dates from right-ofWaters centre provincial parties have always had success on the west side of the lake. The area was represented at one time by two former Social Credit MLAs, former premiers WAC Bennett and his son Bill.

So, it’s unlikely any reluctance on behalf of Clark to debate NDP candidate Carole Gordon or B.C. Conservative candidate Sean Upshaw will

hurt her chances. But the optics of ignoring all-candidates debates in the riding over the next 28 days will look awful.

She’s already a Vancouver gal, parachuting into a riding a five hour drive away who feels she’ll have no problem winning.

If she wants to appear anything but a carpetbagging opportunist, she needs to show locals cares about local issues.

Unlike during the provincial election campaign, where Clark skipped all-candidates meetings in her Vancouver-Point Grey riding which she lost to NDP challenger David Eby, the premier cannot argue she has a provincial campaign to spearhead this

time, or that she already has a track record as the local MLA. This time, here, it’s different. This time there’s only one task at hand—winning a byelection to become the local MLA. Clark’s party is already the government and she won the job of premier election night, when, despite losing her own seat, she led the Liberals to an unexpected come-from-behind win with a majority of seats in the B.C. Legislature.

This time it’s about picking an MLA, not a premier for B.C. Win or lose July 10, Clark will still be the premier.

On Thursday, she was non-committal about participating in all-candidates’ debates here, saying only that

she would “consider” it. She did say, however, she plans to knock on plenty of doors.

Given that her strength is debating, as well as one-on-one meetings and speaking directly to voters, it’s astonishing she would decline to play to those strengths.

By refusing to show she has a grasp of local issues and her party has a plan to deal with them, she opens herself to criticism that running here really is a cynical move of convenience.

Refusing to participate in all-candidates debates will not likely make or break her byelection bid but it will

▼ GMO FOODS

Federal government should reset its priorities to ensure we have a truly safe food supply

To the editor: Re: CropLife President Says Food Standards Not Compromised, June 4 Capital News.

Lorne Hepworth is “concerned that some people are worried about the safety of genetically modified foods that they have taken to the streets.”

Two million people took to the streets in protest of GMO’s in 52 countries in approx 436 cities worldwide on May 25 including Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon.

Hepworth represents Monsanto, a chemical producing corporation that created Agent sOrange, DDT, PCBs, Aspartame, Dioxin and Round Up Herbicide.

The corporation is trying to change its image (but not its practices, since their latest ventures include buying up seed companies, creating genetically modified seeds,

suing farmers when their crops become contaminated, and threatening to sue U.S. states that propose labelling of genetically modified foods.)

Hepworth says that there are “Extensive safety reviews completed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency…” I point out that the reviews of the paperwork handed in by Monsanto on shortterm animal feeding studies do not prove safety.

Health Canada has not made any independent safety studies.

Is science above being questioned? A moment of reflection might give us more clarity. In the 1950s doctors (backed by scientific consensus) endorsed cigarettes. The drug thalidomide was a safe treatment for morning sickness—and thousands of babies were born without limbs. Many prescription drugs have been taken off

the market after extensive safety testing proved false and people died.

GMOs can never be taken ‘off the market’ as they are contagious to natural plants.

Science is a work in progress, not the unquestionable truth. Yet it’s hard to find a major lab in agricultural science in any university which isn’t dependent on industry money. Therefore the work of independent scientists is especially valuable.

For the first time, genetically modified (GMO) corn and the herbicide Round Up have been evaluated for their longterm impact on health.

The French study was conducted by independent scientists who are not financially tied to the makers of GMO corn.

The study was conducted over two years.

The study by

Gilles-Eric Seralini, a microbiologist from the University of Caen, found that lab rats developed massive tumours, suffered multiple organ damage and died prematurely. The researchers found that the majority of the tumours started after four months.

Ninety per cent of the tumours in female animals were breast tumours.

With cancer rates on the rise, all scientific study should be welcomed.

Monsanto used the same strain of rats in its threemonth animal studies which it used to get authorization for its GMO corn.

Where are Canada’s regulatory bodies in all this? Health Canada approved this GMO corn (NK603) in 2001, three years before receiving feeding study data which was voluntarily submitted in 2004.

Health Canada takes

at face value what the corporations submit. Is that good enough? Isn’t this asking the industry to police itself?

With so much at stake for our health it is time to stop blindly accepting the ‘safety’ of genetically modified crops just because corporations say they are safe.

Health Canada has an obligation to protect our health, and must conduct its own independent research on the safety of genetically modified food—and label it genetically modified food. If the federal government can afford to spend $847 million on the G20 meeting, surely it can afford to ensure the safety of our common food supply. The Seralini study only cost approximately $4 million.

To the editor: Re: The article, Mental Health: Dismissive Attitude To Treatment Must Stop, in the Kelowna Capital News, June 4,

by Michelle Fortin from Roundtable of Provincial Social Services Organizations.

BrainWave Optimization uses a patented neuro-feedback technique that has helped overworked adults, as well as teens, and everyday people overcome brain injury, memory loss, insomnia, and other issues affecting the brain.

The article states that a

dismissive attitude to the treatment of mental health must stop. BrainWavebc. com has worked directly with youth and adults for over five years who are facing these types of debilitating issues, depression, suicide and drug addictions.

The June 4 article states:“The cost is enormous—A 2010 study estimated the cost to the economy due to lost work days related to this issue was $50 billion a year.

Add the damage to families, the costs of homelessness and health care and the total rises sharp-

ly.”

This is a serious issue facing our communities—it is not something to be shunned, silenced or dismissed.

People often do not discuss these issues because there is no ‘solution’ for them—only a way to cope with their issues. BrainWave Kelowna offers state-of-theart technology to help people overcome such issues. We should make sure that mental health and problem substance use services step out of the shadows.

BrainWave Kelow-

na was founded by family members after the tragic carbon monoxide poisoning of Kelowna resident Craig Harte. His remarkable recovery prompted his family to bring the BrainWave system to Kelowna.

Brain training is based upon the revolutionary discovery by Canadian psychiatrist Norman Doidge. He proved that even the adult brain is capable of rewiring itself—a process known as neuroplasticity, described as “one of the most extraordinary discoveries of the 20th century.”

Harte utilized a method that seems to activate neuroplasticity, apparently supporting the brain in healing itself.

Inspiring stories of personal triumph though brain training are available online at www.BrainWavebc.com.

Brain training supports individuals in overcoming many issues including, stress, depression, poor memory and poor attention.

▼ OPINION

Clark needs to speak up Waters from A8 tarnish what appears to be a reprieve from the political bashing she withstood leading up to the May 14 election.

By breaking with tradition set by all her premier predecessors in the last 30 years of not debating other candidates at the riding level, Clark can show she is a different sort of politician.

In last month’s prov-

incial campaign, she went out and connected with people across B.C. and that helped get her candidates elected. Now she needs to do that for herself. And, as was proved in Vancouver-Point Grey, that won’t necessarily happen if she doesn’t show up—or appears not to show up.

Sure, her opponents may try and re-run the May 14 vote on a local scale here, but Clark

should be prepared for that.

Ducking her rivals may be the politically expedient thing to do, but it sends the wrong message.

If Clark truly to represent Westside-Kelowna as its MLA, and be simply a political placeholder for the next four years, she needs to speak up.

W

hen the Globe and Mail broke its epic tale on the foundation of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Nation, the story ran with an explanation of the editorial board’s logic.

A year-and-a-half of research came down to one decision: Can we run this if none of the sources are willing to put a name to their comments?

As the answer was yes, the newspaper wanted to clearly explain its justification, lest it seem like pure sensationalism on an already extraordinary tale of a crack-smoking, criminal-cavorting mayor.

And if you are going to accuse a sitting mayor and councillor of stemming from a drug-dealing, criminal family, it’s probably good to get the ducks in a row for the lawyers. Now we have an issue in our own newsroom that’s generated debate.

With the recent sexual assaults in Mission Creek

WORDSMITH

Jennifer Smith Park and Glenrosa—the latter still to be verified by RCMP—there are questions to answer about how to play the story.

The Greenway, the main landmark in Mission Creek Park, has had its fair share of issues; not many, but enough to raise an eyebrow.

The 22-year-old woman assaulted in this case was on a smaller trail within the park, although the police have not specified an exact location, and as the Greenway is a main thoroughfare in the park, it seems fair enough to flag the assault as Greenway connected. This is, after all, the park’s central focus.

Warning the many people who will traverse the Greenway of the location seemed important.

Many woman, and men, are still running the

Greenway alone as anyone who goes down to have a look will notice.

The thought process that says women should grossly modify their behaviour on the basis of a news item, particularly a single news item, is daft after all.

On the other hand, as a woman myself, I rarely run alone and almost never in certain areas.

The Greenway has been one of those spots since a man started groping women while riding by on a bike in 2011.

When I sat down to write the first story on the Greenway assault, I was nevertheless well aware that statistically, the chances any woman, myself included, would personally be in danger on such a trail are minimal; but armed with information, I’ve made my own choice.

It’s not easy to find accurate statistics on sexual assault, in large part because it’s widely believed to be under-reported, but some of the points the Rape Victims Support Network has isolated include:

• one in every 17 Canadian women is raped at some point in her life • girls between the ages of 15 and 24 are the most likely victims • 80 per cent of assaults happen in the victim’s home • 70 per cent of rapes are committed by a perpetrator who is known to the victim.

I think this last point is pretty important in this story. Clearly, focusing one’s attention on an unknown predator—the police have provided no description—who may or may not strike twice at a given location, makes no sense.

And yet, we do know these things happen. As news reporters, its our job to provide the information, contextualize it, and wave the red flag so people notice. How much to wave that flag is always in question.

I called the Elizabeth Fry Society for comment as I was expecting the director, Aimee Thompson, might highlight some of the statistics and point out where the agency sees the most assaults, such as be-

tween adults in relationships, and maybe suggest what is needed to support victims in terms of resources. She went a different route, calling on civic leaders to look at the safety of the Greenway.

As the representative of an agency where the workers spend their days working with victims of sexual assault, hearing the gut-wrenching stories and trying to provide help, her opinion is critical and her comments well-measured and thought-provoking.

There is a court case pending which answers why. Had Taylor van Diest, the young woman in Armstrong who was attacked and killed Halloween night 2011 by a man she did not know, had the knowledge every woman in this community now has, she might have chosen her route or mode of transport differently.

A random sexual assault, while rare, is serious and deserves both considerable debate and exposure and that’s exactly why it lands on the front page of the newspaper. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Tweet: @jaswrites

Single family and seniors food bank feel community support Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

A lot has changed at Friendly People’s Single Family and Seniors Food Bank over the past five months.

The food bank—located at 3455 Elliott Rd.—opened last November with the goal of helping single parents and their families, as well as seniors throughout West Kelowna.

Since January, more people have been utilizing the food bank and donations have increased, said Shari Lowther, director of Friendly People’s Single Family and Seniors Food Bank Society.

“I’ve worked hard to get different suppliers on board to help us with food coming in,” said Lowther.

The look of the food bank has changed as well.

Last winter, clothing and other items were stored under tents, which limited Lowther’s ability to keep the area organized.

Now, three large, organized storage containers are filled with donated clothing and other household items.

“The biggest compliment I get is how clean it is, how professional it looks now.”

Lowther said the food bank currently helps out about 40 single parents and seniors and is always

“There are a lot of single parents who are struggling, I see it every day when they come in.

“They’re looking for a little bit of help for a couple of weeks, months or whatever it might be, just to help them through from paycheque to paycheque.”

She added Friendly People’s offers fresh milk

and eggs, which are purchased with money raised through various fundraisers such as bottle drives.

The food bank has also began growing potatoes, carrots, onions and other vegetables in a community garden. Lowther plans to use the produce to fill hampers this fall.

“That’s what we’re doing to help ourselves be a little more self-sufficient—we might as well use the land we have.”

Food, clothing and appliance donations are always welcome, said Lowther, but Friendly People’s is especially in need of towels and bedding, as well as pots and pans.

Hockeyville cash to pay for new score clock, washroom upgrades Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The District of West Kelowna has found a way to spend its $25,000 Hockeyville prize money.

And council is optimistic, this time, the public will approve of its decision.

Council unanimously voted to use the money toward installing a new score clock in Jim Lind Arena and upgrading the washrooms in the facility.

Last November, the district was leaning toward using the money for the construction of a $125,000 electronic highway sign.

After receiving considerable negative feedback from the public, council scrapped that idea during its 2013 budget deliberations.

Since January, residents have

submitted various ideas of how the district can use the prize money.

Staff once again met with the Hockeyville committee to determine an appropriate alternate use for the prize.

The new score clock will feature a plaque or display that recognizes West Kelowna’s second-place result in the 2012 Kraft Hockeyville competition.

According to Erin Goodwin, facilities supervisor for the district, the old score clock uses incandescent bulbs, which are less energy efficient than LED bulbs.

“We have had some mechanical issues with (the old score clock) in the past,” said Goodwin.

“It’s been here quite some time.”

The cost of installing the score clock is approximately $15,000.

The rest of the money will be

put toward washroom upgrades, which was one of the top priority items identified in the feedback district staff received.

Council was also presented with the option of constructing a Mount Boucherie Complex electronic entrance sign, which could act as a community message board.

Council decided not to use the Hockeyville money for that option; however, it will consider the project during its 2014 budget deliberations.

Both the score clock installation and washroom upgrades are expected to be completed by the time Jim Lind Arena—which is currently closed for repairs—is re-opened in August 2013. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Giant trash compactor added to local landfill Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna can now claim to compact garbage at its landfill like no other place in North America.

The city is the first municipality on the continent to buy a state-ofthe-art garbage compactor—a giant machine designed and built in Finland and sold through a Texas distributor—that is now being used to compresses garbage collected at the Glenmore Landfill.

“Our new compactor uses the latest technology in waste management equipment which contributes to more efficient landfill operations,” said Ken Muller, solid waste supervisor for the city.

“The two-wheeled compactor is more effi-

cient than the previous four-wheeled machine as it improves garbage compaction by 20 per cent, reduces work time by 33 per cent and decreases fuel consumption by 17 per cent.”

He said the city spent nine-months evaluating the huge machine before agreeing to buy if from the Lubbock, Texas-based dealer for a bargain price of $942,000.

The machine normally sells for about $1.2 million but the city got a deal, in part because it is the first city in North America to buy one, said Muller.

The compactor has been in operation at the local landfill for the last eight weeks.

Muller said the added efficiency of the new machine over the current ex-

pected life of the landfill could add as much as 14 years to that life because of the greater compaction the new machine provides.

In addition to hightech features like improved compacting cylinders, specially filtered air in the cab for the operator, cutters to stop the compacting cyclinders from getting clogged and a Global Positioning System to inform the operator in real time when the necessary level of compaction has been achieved, the machine is also much more fuel efficient than the city’s older models.

In May alone, said Muller, use of the new compactor resulted in a 17 per cent saving to the city on diesel fuel.

The compactor is the

He said the landfill’s carbon footprint is also reduced by using the new machine as it requires fewer passes to get the job done.

“I (deal in) air space

here,” said Muller. “So the more I can get the garbage compacted down, the better.”

And he added, It’s important for the city to operate an environmentally-sustainable landfill.

Before buying the compactor, the city

checked with other landfills around the world, specifically in Scotland, Australia and New Zealand, that are currently using the machine.

It even sent one of its landfill compactor operators to Texas to use it for a day.

As a result of the city’s purchase, other municipalities have already sent representatives here to check it out and watch it in action.

NEWS ▼ RESTORATION PROJECT

Volunteers get down and dirty in grassland Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Dozens of volunteers planted trees on the weekend, but instead of creating new forest they were restoring a grassland area on the Westside.

The trees they planted were chunks of dead pines, which they dug into a small gully carved through the middle of the Bald Range grassland off Bear Main Forest Service Road by runoff water— in an attempt to slow the S water and reduce erosion.

Those check dams, made of dead pine logs, large rocks and other debris, should help to inter-cept soil and rocks being teroded by the force of the owater’s downhill flow and minimize the erosion, ex-

plained Lorne Davies of Geostream Environmental Consulting, who provided the technical expertise for the work party.

“The idea of ecosystem restoration is to use on-site, natural materials to assist Mother Nature in the recovery of these grasslands,” he explained.

The dead pines that were cut had been allowed to encroach on the grassland, he added, so they were a natural choice to remove.

Trails created by dirt bikes riding on vertical hill climb trails instead of across the slope have eroded over the years, but motorized vehicles have now been fenced out of the area and new, sustainable trails built for trail

The project to restore the grassland was spearheaded by the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association, with the idea it will provide more winter range habitat for ungulates, and for birds and other wildlife. It had the support of a number of other groups in this area.

Every year more than 14.3 million office visits for back pain are reported. It’s the second-most frequent reason that people visit their doctor. The results of these visits are predictable. The options are rest, hot and cold packs, pain medication, and physical therapy. Chronic sufferers looking for relief soon hear that only two paths exist — either live with the pain, or undergo surgery. Spinal Care Canada Solutions is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that may offer quick relief as well as long-term results for neck pain, back pain, herniated, bulging or degenerated discs, sciatica, and osteoarthritis. Spinal Care Canada uses an FDA-registered computerized mechanism that provides for exacting treatment of the cervical spine (neck) as well as the lumbar spine (low back).

This approach is to non-surgically treat the actual cause of neck and back pain. If you have bulging and herniated discs, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, post-surgical failures, arthritis and related challenges, you have an altogether new chance to possibly relieve nagging and chronic pain. People across the province using Spinal Care Canada Solutions are

reporting relief of their pain. They are requiring less medication and are able to enjoy normal everyday activities again.

The procedure uses a FDA-registered computer-controlled machine to provide gentle distraction of the afflicted spinal areas. Many patients have been successfully treated with Spinal Care Canada Solutions. It delivers genuine decompression to the area of the spine that needs it, which may offer immediate relief too and may allow the body to flood the area with vital nutrients of which the area has typically been starved.

Sustainable economic methods a job pathway to the future

K

ermit the Frog, one of the world’s most recognized puppets, years ago said: “It’s not easy be-

ing green.”

But being green today has a much different connotation than Kermit expressed way back in the

early 1970s.

Today being green is associated with sustainability, which means adopting sustainable

methods when producing goods, including food, and buildings that incorporate techniques and materials that don’t impact negatively on the environment.

A prime example of this is constructing a building where heating and cooling is reliant on solar energy or geothermal as opposed to a non-renewable resource such as oil and gas.

Although this may sound simple, using solar energy requires knowledge of specific construction techniques and materials that allow the solar energy to keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

A prime example of this type of building is the Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies and Renewable Energy Conservation, located at the Penticton campus of Okanagan College.

SCHOOL’S IN

Jane Muskens Considered a living laboratory for green construction this two-year old building will be home to Okanagan College’s new three-year diploma program in Sustainable Construction Management Technology which begins this fall.

Students from across the country are expected to enrol in this program as there is industry and government support to begin to train project managers in the methods and building techniques required to build “green” buildings.

This program will provide students with the knowledge and understanding of what goes into

large-scale building project with an emphasis in sustainable design principles.

With a green lens to look through, students will examine procurement processes, quantity surveying, sustainable construction and environmental impacts.

Considering the drive by many countries to adopt sustainable ways of living, I suspect these graduates won’t have trouble finding work both in Canada and abroad.

Upon graduation many students will have the skills and abilities to consider careers as site superintendents, general contractors or subcontractors, field coordinators, quantity surveyors, inspectors or project managers.

Any young adult today who has a passion for the environment and wants to find a profession which clearly contrib-

utes to protecting mother Earth may want to consider this program.

Years ago when Kermit the Frog was young, there was talk about protecting the environment and even a few initiatives.

Today there is more than just talk. We can build buildings that contribute to the environment, instead of detract from it, we can run cars without gasoline, and through innovation we can build a better world .

To find out more about Okanagan College’s Sustainable Construction Management Technology Diploma Program, visit okanagan. bc.ca/scmt.

Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. Comments can be forwarded to jmuskens@okanagan. bc.ca .

Allow six week cycle to adjust from sloth to stealth S o, you’ve decided it’s time to lose a little bit of the winter belly. Good for you as that choice is an important one.

Obesity has now become an epidemic in our nation. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that 25 per cent of Canadians, in 2007, were qualified as obese, costing an estimated $4.3 billion annually. I’m certain that number is higher today.

Dr. Birmingham wrote in the Canadian Medical Association Journal: “Almost one-third of adult Canadians are at increased risk of disability, disease and premature death because of being obese” We are seeing obesity trends in our children that we have never seen before.

Nationally, British Columbia has the lowest incidence of obesity with Newfoundland being the highest.

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel We are living in an era where we are inundated with well-meaning information—trendy, hyped, erroneous and some cutting-edge. There is a fundamental list of do’s and don’ts to get you ready for bathing suit season.

One of the best trainers and exercise physiologist I’ve ever known, Kevin Weiss, stated that you must allow at least six weeks for change.

You’re not allowed to be discouraged during that time as it takes this long for your physiology to adjust from sloth to stealth.

And whatever regiment you are on, you must be successful at least

80 per cent of the time in order to have lasting effects.

Change your diet to a diet of real food. If it comes out of a box or it is refined or processed in any way, it is not for you.

Your diet should consist of any kind of fruit and being in the word ‘berry,’ nothing tropical, all vegetables except for corn and potatoes and healthy doses of meat, fish, seeds and nuts.

There is an excellent website called bulletproofexec.com that provides you with a shopping list for just such a diet.

Make sure that you add two doses daily of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) to your regimen. This will aid in the mobilization of free fatty acids and, most importantly, feed your brain.

Avoid wheat at all costs. I do not subscribe to the theory that we should have five to nine servings of grains a day as I find

O ut doo r living redef i n e d

that their glycemic index is massive.

This belief is antiquated and no longer stands up to scientific, evidence-based scrutiny.

In conjunction, it is very pro-inflammatory.

Would it surprise you to know that one slice of whole wheat bread has a higher glycemic index than a Snickers bar?

I have many patients who are insulin dependent diabetics and all who have removed wheat from their diet have reduce their insulin requirements by at least 60 per cent. All report weight loss without exercise.

More evidence-based research may be found in the book Wheat Belly by a cardiologist, Dr. William Davis.

A nice rule of thumb is to avoid all things that are white—potatoes, rice, flour, sugar, pasta, etc., all of which contain enormous amount of carbohydrates which will be your demise. If you’re going to drink alcohol, make sure it is vodka distilled from potatoes. This has the lowest glycemic index and is the kindest of all the spirits to your system.

Beer, coolers and drinks with syrupy mixes are a no-no.

Make sure you move, or exercise deliberately three times a week. Do whatever it is that you love.

Most importantly, anticipate ways that you may fail. For example, not shopping appropriately, allowing yourself to get

too hungry and not preparing meals properly.

Next, have an action plan on how to avoid these pitfalls in advance.

Then, simply do it.

Goals need to be clearly outlined on a weekly and monthly basis. Put a reminder on your bathroom mirror, one on your debit card and one on the dash of

your car to kindly remind yourself that you are going to be who you want to be, and that with each day you will come closer to your goal.

I remember Kevin Weiss once told me: “Everybody wants to be fit and healthy, you just have to do it; not just want it.” askdrthiel@shaw.ca.

Stomach bloat for dogs can lead to serious complications T Dr. Moshe Oz ing condition in which the dog’s stomach dilates due to ingestion of food, water and air swallowing.

This enlargement of the stomach makes it impossible for the dog to empty the stomach.

fully avoid this condition: Feed your dog several smaller meals a day rather than one large meal.

Also try to avoid fast eating, if you have more than one dog, feed them separately from each other.

When dogs are getting fed together they tend to eat faster so the other dog will not eat their food.

Restrict exercise before and after meals. Do not feed your dog from an elevated food bowl.

Eating from an elevated dish encourages air swallowing.

Please contact your veterinarian with the first sign of bloat. Early intervention is essential for saving you beloved dog’s life.

gical options of attaching the stomach to the body wall or the dog’s rib in order to secure it in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of recurrence of the condition.

Occasionally part of the stomach and or the spleen lose viability due to the impaired blood supply. In that case the spleen or part of the stomach should be removed.

Beside the complexity of the surgery there are many possible post operative complications and the dog should be kept hospitalizes and closely monitored after the surgery.

Large deep chested dogs are more prone to develop stomach bloat and torsion, especially Great Danes, Weimaraners, Saint Bernards, German shepherds, Irish and Gordon setters, and Doberman pinschers.

life decreases.

The treatment for the condition depends on the duration and severity of the process.

The veterinarian will initially establish intravenous catheter and will administer fluids supplementation in a rapid manner to try to compensate for the impaired blood flow.

The vet will also try to relieve the pressure that the enlarged stomach is causing, by poking the stomach with a needle and releasing the gas.

The vet will attempt to pass a stomach tube in order to pump the stomach.

Stomach torsion is confirmed by inability to pass the stomach tube and an abdominal x ray.

Stomach torsion requires a corrective surgery in which the stomach is rotated back to its normal position.

your dog’s life. The most obvious signs of this condition is swelling of the abdomen and restlessness.

The dog will also attempt to vomit without success.

The dog will be very anxious and pant heavily.

In later stages, along with the impaired blood supply the dog will get into shock, will be very weak, have pale colour of his gums and tongue and eventually collapse.

It is extremely important to contact the veterinarian as early as possible.

sels and impairs blood flow. The stomach bloat can lead to an even more serious complication in which the stomach rotates.

Once this rotation occurs and the blood supply is completely cut off, the stomach tissue begins to die and the entire blood supply is disrupted and the animal’s condition begins to deteriorate very rapidly.

Stomach dilatation and torsion is a real emergency condition.

If not resolved this condition will kill your dog.

Falcons look to rebound from slow start

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

…WE’RE LOOKING TO GIVE GUYS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THEIR GAMES BETTER AND HELP THEM MOVE ON. IF WE KEEP WORKING HARD, THE WINS WILL COME. Geoff White, head coach

A 0-6 start clearly wasn’t what Geoff White had in mind for his return as head coach of the Kelowna Falcons.

At the same time, the Kelowna product been around the game long enough to know a baseball season can turn on a dime.

According to White, what the West Coast League club needs is just a little momentum to get the ball rolling in 2013.

“That’s something we’ve talked about with our players, we still have 90 per cent of the season to go, so we’re not pan-

icking,” said White, who previously coached the club on an interim basis in 2005. “It would be nice to get that first win, help the guys with their confidence and get things going in the right direction. We just need to stick with it and things will turn around.”

The Falcons have suffered their share of hard luck this season, los-

ing twice by one run, and three times by just two runs—the latest, a 4-2 setback to Bend on Monday at Elks Stadium.

One of the problem areas so far has been pitching, as the Falcons lead the league in both walks issued and hit batsmen.

Along with some lapses in defense—including five errors on Monday

Not surprisingly, White would much rather be 6-0 than 0-6, but also understands the individual interests of each player.

“We’re a competitive program, so we want to win,” White said. “But at the same time we’re looking to give guys an opportunity to make their games better and help them move on. If we keep working hard, the wins will come.”

With very little going their way, what better time for a break, as the Falcons are in the midst of a four-day layoff, before returning to action this weekend at home to the Victoria Harbourcats.

“It’s a good time for us to step back, get some practise time in and regroup,” White said.

As much as White and the Falcons would prefer to be winning games, the concept of the WCL is largely designed allow players to work on their skills over the summer

After four seasons as an assistant coach with the Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets, Dan Lambert has worked his way onto Hockey Canada’s coaching map.

The 43-year-old Lambert was named this week as the head coach of Team West for the 2014 edition of the World Under 17 Challenge in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Consisting of players from Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Team West is one of five regional teams from Canada who are joined each year by five international teams at the annual post-Christmas tournament.

Lambert, a native of St. Boniface, Man., is thrilled to be getting his first assignment from Hockey Canada.

“The experience of working with Hockey Canada is the biggest reason I wanted to do this,” Lambert said. “You get access to a lot of their coaching philosophies, you get some insights into

preparation and so many other important aspects of coaching. Hopefully it will allow me to be a better assistant coach with Kelowna and one day help me be a head coach somewhere.”

An offensively-gifted defenceman, Lambert was a standout as a player in major junior in Swift Current, and also played 10 seasons in Germany.

Twenty-seven years ago, in 1986, Lambert played for Team Western in a three-game series against the Russians.

Lambert sees international events like the U17 Challenge as a great opportunity for both coaches and players.

“It’s a great situation for these young men, for a lot of them it’s their first opportunity to represent their region and their country in an international competition. It’s the same for coaches like me who are being exposed to this for the first time.”

Despite losing his right-hand man for the better part of two weeks

Safety Van Nistelrooy back with Sun Two seasons after earning the club’s rookie of the year honours and BCFC all-star recognition, Brennan Van Nistelrooy is back with the Okanagan Sun. The 19-year-old safety, who played with the Sun in 2011, returns to Kelowna after spending last season at the University of Alberta.

Van Nistelrooy, who earned a starting spot with the Bears midway through

2012, said his stint in Edmonton was a good experience but wasn’t sure he wanted to return to the field this season.

But once his friends on the Sun—specifically offensive lineman Josh Troman and Dustin Ledsham with whom Brennan played high school with at Catholic Central High School in Lethbridge—learned of his plans to leave university, the phone started ringing.

“Josh and Dustin called me and then coach Beatty and (Nathan) Mollard (defensive coordinator),” said Van Nistelrooy. “I wasn’t sure I didn’t want to play, and when the guys started calling I realized I wasn’t ready to hang them up.”

While Sun head coach Shane Beatty has not seen Van Nistelrooy play, he has heard much about him both in and out of the locker room from when

THE SUN’S rookie of the year in 2011, Brennan Van Nistelrooy, is back with the B.C. Football Conference team. he was a member of the BCFC team two years ago.

“Brennan is the full package for our secondary,” Beatty said. “He is a cover guy who really likes to hit and is good at getting receivers to think

twice about catching the football. He is the kind of player we want back there.

“He’s played university and from everything I hear he was a good teammate here as well. He will be a leader on our defence this year.”

ROBINSON JOINS SUN…

The Sun receiving corps got a little deeper and faster with the addition of 6-foot-4, 165-pound Notre Dame High School grad Lerone Robinson.

The receiver informed Sun head coach Shane Beatty last week that he’ll be leaving Simon Fraser University to join the BCFC team for 2013.

The Sun was alerted to Robinson by former CFLer Jamie Boreham, a member of the Okanagan coaching staff last season.

Beatty said he was “ecstatic” to lock up the speed of Robinson who has been timed with a 4.49 40-yard dash.

“Lerone can really fly,” said Beatty. “He is a great kid, a great young kid and a real talent. He is a very respectful young man who adds a speed dimension to our offence that we really needed. I think now we have all the receivers to make us really dangerous there.”

With Robinson’s addi-

tion, Beatty is excited about the club’s depth at the receiver position.

“With Lerone today, Zach Regert last week plus the other group of young talent we having coming in…Deion Bain, Pierre Luc Lord, Reggie Ventose, Hartley (Tanner), Andrew MacDonald. You add this young group to the vets…all those guys.

We are in really, really good shape I think.”

Robinson, 19, looks forward to joining the Sun and working with quarterbacks Cam Bedore and Theo Deezar.

“I’m two years younger than Cam Bedore, I remember watching him in high school,’” Robinson said. “He is a quality quarterback and I know they have a tall guy (Deezar) coming in from snooping around the web site, he is more of a drop back passer.

“I’ve heard a lot of good things about the year from coach Beatty,” added Robinson. “It sounds like we should have a pretty good team.”

Robinson and the rest of the Sun roster hit the field for the opening of training camp July 5.

Among the challenges for Lambert as head coach of Team West will be adjusting to the short timeframe of the event, with as many as six games being played over an eight-day period.

“It’s an intense time, a lot of coaching and a lot of hockey in pretty short span,” Lambert added.

“It’ll be a good learning experience for everyone involved.”

The first order of business for Lambert is attending a Hockey Canada coach’s conference this week in Calgary which, coincidentally, will feature Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska.

Then in August, Lambert will travel to Portage la Prairie, Man., for the Team West evaluation camp.

Lambert will be assisted by Regina Pats’ assistant Josh Dixon and North Battleford North Stars’ coach Kevin Hasselberg.

The World U17 Challenge will be held Dec. 28, 2013 to Jan. 5, 2014 in Cape Breton.

Kelowna teen rides to equestrian gold in Langley

Bria Gainey has put Kelowna firmly on the province’s equestrian map, thanks to her riding exploits at the B.C. Open earlier this month at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley.

Competing in a large field of riders and horses from Canada and the U.S., Bria won two Grand Championship titles.

Gainey, 13 captured the 2’9” Modified Child/ Adult Hunter and Equitation event, as well as finishing first in the 2’9” classic.

This is Bria’s first show season on her new horse Titania.

Amanda McCormack, who rides at Cattail Equestrian Centre, placed third in the same 2’9” Classic.

Also performing well was Halle Gainey who won third place ribbons in 2’9” Pony Hunter and Pony Classic divisions.

Bria and Halle Gainey have been riding and competing since they were four and five years

held recently in Langley.

On Saturday, at Trinity Western University, Okanagan came up short against Fraser Valley Action losing 3-2. Michelle Smith tallied both goals in the loss, the first at the eight-minute mark and the second on a corner kick in the second half.

On Sunday, Paige Ralston and Haylee Lakovic, with her first of the season, scored in a 2-0 Okanagan win over Coquitlam Metro Ford.

Ralston tallied in the 70th minute when her

shot squirted between the legs of the Coquitlan, while Lakovic scored minutes later when laced a shot from 20 yards out that found the top of the net.

Keeper Christine Tallon earned her first shutout of the season.

“It was a gutsy performance this weekend playing two games back to back with 13 players,” said head coach Claire Paterson. “Several athletes were juggled around into new positions and

After delays on the I-5, the Jays were late arriving and literally hopped off the bus to play their first game. The lack of warm-up time apparently didn’t hurt as the Jays posted a 3-0 win. Kevin Latos and Torin Dooley combined on a five-hitter while Kelowna scored all of its runs in the seventh. Three stolen bases, timely hits and/or sacrifice flys by Braeden Hey-

In Game 2, the Honkers bounced back with a 3-0 win. J.D. Scholten was very sharp allowing just three hits (Ryo Shishido, Joel Lamont, James Martenson) and had five strikeouts.

Lake Country tennis The Lake Country Tennis Club held another action–packed doubles tennis tournament last Friday night under the lights at the new tennis courts on Woodsdale road in Lake Country.

Partners were drawn at random in the event, so players never knew who they would be matched up against, making for some interesting combinations.

Heavy winds added an extra challenge to the night, as chasing wild, wind-aided curve balls became part of the play.

After three hours of action, the top players emerged. At the end of the night out of 27 tough competitors Lynne Blake took first place overall

In a two way tie for second with 11 games won was Ben Johnson, who was the top male player, tied with Shannon Monssen.

There was a three way tie for third place with 10 games won between Steve Shaffrick, Bonnie Ayriss and Julia Ambrozy.

Overall winner Lynne Blake was elated with her victory.

Six club records were broken, the first two by Sam McDonald in the 50 breast and Katie Dunlop in the 50 back—previously their own records— who lowered the standards to 34.99 and 32.89

NEWS ▼ NEED FOR INSURANCE

Ruling raises issue of how to define motor-assisted cycle “ Perhaps the regulations would benefit from a review.”

I couldn’t agree more with that comment made

by Mr. Justice Brown in his decision dismissing the appeals of Raymond Rei. Rei had been ticketed for operating a vehicle without insurance and without a driver’s license.

He disputed the tickets and argued his case at the provincial court level. He lost. He appealed to the Supreme Court of British Columbia where he came before Justice Brown.

The subject matter of the appeal was whether or not the two-wheeled “device” Mr. Rei had been riding required insurance or required the driver/rider to have a driver’s license.

According to the laws of the province of British Columbia, a “motor as-

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott sisted cycle” is treated like a bicycle—you can ride it without a driver’s license and without insurance.

Consider the debate about what kind of twowheeled critter ought to require a driver’s license and insurance and what ought not to.

I expect most of us would agree that a bicycle should not.

What about a bicycle that you add a small electric or gasoline engine to, which can assist in getting up some of our Okanagan hills?

If we’re going to allow bicycles with en-

gine add-ons, what about scooters that are manufactured with both pedals and small electric or gasoline motors?

They go no faster than a strong cyclist could pedal, in fact in many cases they can’t go as fast.

They are far more environmentally friendly than a car and you get as much exercise as you choose with the pedals.

A line has to be drawn somewhere. It is the definition of that line that Mr. Justice Brown was referring to when he said “Perhaps the regulations would benefit from a review.”

A “motor assisted cycle” is a defined term in the Motor Vehicle Act. In order to fit within that definition, the twowheeled beast must be one “to which pedals or hand cranks are attached that will allow for the

cycle to be propelled by human power.”

Of course, nobody actually reads the Motor Vehicle Act. It is even less likely that anyone would read the regulations to the Motor Vehicle Act, which is a completely separate document.

The regulations add to the definition, containing such additional restrictions as an engine shutoff requirement: the motor must “disengage if the operator stops pedalling.”

Incidentally, if you were to actually read the definition of “motor assisted cycle” in the Motor Vehicle Act, you would not see anything alerting you that the definition is incomplete, i.e. that you have to look somewhere else for the rest of the rules.

Even ICBC, the government agency responsible for this stuff, has difficulty explaining it.

Retired teachers

ICBC has a table on its website with a list of requirements to qualify as a motor assisted cycle.

The list doesn’t include the engine shut-off requirement.

To be safe, they have a link to the regulations so you can read them yourself, but the link currently goes nowhere.

I hopefully expect that the link will be repaired as soon as this column is published as I have been told that my column is required reading for some unfortunate folks at ICBC. Rei’s “device” was in the greyest of the grey areas, it did have pedals but they had been removable.

He could clip them on and off as he wished.

He found that the pedals made his device unsafe because they hit the pavement when the device naturally leaned over

while rounding a corner.

For safety’s sake, he removed the pedals.

It is not apparent from the court decision whether, had the pedals been clipped on, some sort of engine shut-off mechanism might have been engaged.

On the basis of the pedals alone, he was properly riding without a license and without insurance if the pedals were clicked on, but his device became illegal when he took the supposed safety measure of unclicking the pedals.

Rei had to pay a couple of tickets. No big deal. Insurance implications can make it a big deal, though.

I am directly aware of a fellow who had been riding a similar device and was run off the road by a negligent driver.

For the same safety reason, he had removed

The Saskatchewan Superannuated Teachers annual year-end social is Tuesday, June 18, 11:30 a.m., at the Mission Seniors Activity Centre, 4398 Hobson

the pedals.

He hasn’t been able to work since the crash and ICBC is denying him the significant benefits he would have been entitled to had he not unclipped the pedals.

Is the device that you or someone you care about is riding “legal” without a driver’s license and insurance?

Would you be denied benefits if a motorist ran you off the road?

With incomprehensible rules that even ICBC can’t get right, how could you even find out?

Aboriginal Day about more than drumming and pow-wow dancing Kym Howay CONTRIBUTOR

Don’t get me wrong, fried bread, drumming and pow-wow dancing are all good things, but this Aboriginal Day, June 21, there are many other exciting events to celebrate.

In 1996, the first Aboriginal Day was established through the combined efforts of the sacred assembly and Elijah Harper, a respected elder and speaker who left for the spirit world May 17, 2013.

Aboriginal Day is a time of celebration in many aboriginal and Metis communities.

Anyone is welcome to join in and celebrate the accomplishments of First Nations people both in the past and as we move towards the future.

Many positive changes are appearing in aboriginal communities as the people reclaim their pathways to health.

Aboriginal health is seen as a combination of spiritual, emotional and physical well-being which is different from western models.

First Nation Healthy Authority was established and is poised to reflect the collective knowledge of First Nation people by embracing the traditional practices of the past and the medical technology of today.

Many aboriginal and Metis communities are also stepping forward to help make their communities healthier.

Communities are returning to past practices like hunting and fishing camps and teaching the next generation to gather

and prepare traditional foods and medicines.

Though that may sound like day to day activity, it also brings communities and generations together to practice healthy living.

Walking and hiking in the mountains and fields; whether to hunt, fish or gather food, teaches many valuable skills.

Hunting and fishing camps give their first kills to the community and help feed their elders with meat and fish from the camps.

They also teach us to feed our people by gathering food and preparing it later for storage.

These activities also provide physical exercise for all ages and being out in nature helps improve mental and emotional wellbeing.

Most important-

ly, these practices help teach the next generation to respect the land and its abundance and to regain some of the traditional practices that have kept aboriginal people alive and healthy.

You do not get that pushing a grocery cart in the supermarket!

Aboriginal communities are successfully melding the past and the future in order to become healthy strong people and communities.

So, when you join the Aboriginal Day festivities on June 21 and admire the drumming, dancing and bead work as well as the occasional treat of fried bread, remember there is so much more to celebrate.

Kym Howay is an aboriginal tobacco reduction coordinator with Interior Health.

Transit exchange changes for KLO Road reviewed The City of Kelowna will host a public information session Wednesday, June 19, 4 to 7 p.m., at Kelowna Secondary School.

The city is in the final stages of planning for a future KLO/Okanagan College transit exchange and associated roadway improvements.

Public feedback from two open houses and results of transportation studies have been reviewed and incorporated into a design concept.

Kelowna’s Official Community Plan acknowledges KLO Road in the Okanagan College area as a priority corridor

for multi-use and active transportation.

Transit amenities, road infrastructure and pedestrian/cycling linkages in the area have been identified by the City and BC Transit as investment priorities.

The Okanagan College transit exchange and KLO Road improvements project is part of BC Transit’s RapidBus Phase 2 and 3 Project, which includes creating and upgrading transit facilities throughout the region.

For more information about this transportation project, visit kelownarapidbus.ca.

The regional growth strategy update is focusing on several key areas including housing, transportation, regional parks and natural areas, economic development and climate change.

Coordinator David Widdis said, “Another important part of the regional growth strategy is the update of the aggregate supply and demand study.

This reviews various sources of aggregate supplies throughout the Central Okanagan and forecasts demand for those products over the next 20, 50 and 100 years.

“It analyzes environmental and health related impacts of gravel pits and rock quarries such as groundwater, dust, noise and visual considerations.

Doug Snowsell, a member of a pioneer Kelowna family, is now the author of two books. The launching of his second book takes place Saturday, June 15, at the Eldorado Hotel, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. My Life As A Church Planter is the personal story of life away from Kelowna in less fortunate, but interesting parts of the world, bringing churches to the lives of people. Bringing good to the world often brought fear and peril to Snowsell and his family. They are now back in Kelowna and the book is a fascinating read. Snowsell’s high school chum at KSS, Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, will be at the book signing. He had the honour of writing the forward

for the book. Preston Manning did the same for Snowsell’s first book.

Accounting standards are changing

IFRS’s definition of a small medium enterprise is a company that has between 50 and 100 employees.

IFRS does not address the reporting for small enterprises with less than 50 employees.

In order to address this issue, it became necessary for Canada to develop Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE).

Then it was determined that not for profit organizations and some government not for profit organizations also fell outside the reporting requirements of both IFRS and ASPE. So now, Canada has now developed Accounting Standards for Non Profit Organizations and Public Sector Accounting Board Non Profit Organization .

Just to clarify, these standards all pertain to ‘Assurance’ engagements such as audits and reviews.

What is meant by assurance is that the accountant that performed the audit or review engagement gives some sort of guarantee or assurance

on the validity and accuracy of the financial results that were prepared by management.

For a review engagement, the accountant indicates that there was nothing that came to his or her attention that would indicate that there were any material misstatements.

For the audit, the accountant provides an opinion that the financial statements are fairly stated or not fairly stated due to certain circumstances.

So now we come to those Notice to Reader (Compilation) engagements that are performed to produce financial statements that are required by some banks and by the tax department.

It has been determined that the current standards surrounding this kind of engagement also need to be updated.

The Accounting Standards Board of Canada is currently surveying the financial lending industry to determine their understanding of the various engagements and their reliance on any statement that is made by any designated accountant.

It appears that much reliance is put on a compilation engagement even though the accountant does not give an opinion on the accuracy of the statement.

The only standard that need be followed at the present time is that the financials not be false and

another successful school year of business education programs, and bid farewell to a long-time member of the team. After almost 10 years running JA in the Okanagan, regional manager Beth Veenkamp is moving on to focus on her company, Constructing Life Coaching, which she started in 2005. “I’m really proud of how many local business people we’ve recruited over the years to volunteer into a classroom and share our programs with students,”said Veenkamp.

“Thanks to our successful volunteer recruitment and training efforts, the Central Okanagan has one of the highest rates of student reach in B.C., which means students here have the best access to quality financial literacy curricula.

Veenkamp will hand the reins to new regional manager Jason Ranchoux, who’s been with JA since last fall, and new team member SanthyYeager, who will coordinate business programs for elementary school children. In the photo are (from left) Jason Ranchoux, Beth Veenkamp and SanthyYeager.

BEHIND THE COUNTER

We invite you to visit us during our…

JUNIOR Achievement staff and volunteers gathered this week to celebrate

nternational Financial Reporting Standards replaced Canadian generally accepted accounting principles on Jan. 1, 2011.

The reason for the change was to be consistent with global accounting standards.

Currently, more than 100 countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, India and other countries in the European union either permit or require the use of IFRS for public company reporting.

The major differences between IFRS and GAAP is that IFRS is more principle based and more concerned with how the company is performing in the economy.

More disclosure is required on the income statement for IFRS. Assets can be revalued to fair value. More leases will need to be capitalized under IFRS and there are specifications for the discount rate to be used for present value calculations.

IFRS only requires disclosure of related party transactions and does not contain specific requirements for recording those transactions.

Most of us probably did not feel the effect of these changes in our lives.

Since the standards have been adopted they have been found to not work for all kinds of Canadian companies.

For example, the

misleading.

That is achieved by reconciling the bank and the various tax payable accounts that the company has with the Canada Revenue Agency.

The notes provided with these financial statements are minimal and normally consist of the property, plant and equipment detail, share capital and a note regarding the liability payable to the shareholder.

Many in the accounting profession are expecting that the standards for compilation engagements will be increased, requiring more work by the accountant to verify the numbers in the financial statement and perhaps might even require some sort of assurance document.

If that becomes the case, then the accounting fees will certainly increase and perhaps many small businesses might not be able to afford it.

Currently the tax department requires that a corporate T2 return be prepared for tax purposes, but does not require ‘official’ financial statements.

This document includes a two-page financial statement which is coded to CRA specifications using the general index of financial information (GIFI).

If the accountant or accounting firm only prepares a T2, then this would not be considered a compilation engagement and theoretically, a smaller fee could be charged for this work.

However, there are only four journal entries that the accountant would be allowed to make before this engagement would need to be upgraded to a compilation.

They would be income taxes payable, management remuneration, accounting fee accrual and statutory taxes payable.

There would be no bookkeeping allowed and the accounting firm would probably only do this engagement if the client had a qualified bookkeeper.

POOR Young Things are hoping that name remains a moniker and nothing more, releasing their debut full-lengthy album with the kind of blustery confidence born to true blue collar rock stars.

Poor Young Things–not if they can help it Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There’s something to be said for salesmanship and there’s another thing to be said for honesty; no matter which camp one prefers, Poor Young Things offers a smile.

This band is aptly named, and one listen of the song Sign of the Times lets the secret as to why out of the bag.

“There’s a war on the middle class and everybody’s insecure. But I don’t want to be like that and work my hands to dust,” sings frontman Matt Fratpietro.

Coming from Thunder Bay, Ontario, where most of the band still have girlfriends waiting in the wings, the young musicians can stake a claim to this aversion to work honestly. Once a forestry and factory town, Thunder Bay is fast becoming an intellectual hub as well with schools like Lakehead University and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.

That’s a lot of work on either side of the fence for a kid who just wants to rock; but then, Poor Young Things aren’t exactly underachievers either. The band has already garnered a Sirius XIM Emerging Artist of the Year nomination.

Their debut album, The Heart. The Head.

The End., showcases some classic-style rock

anthems, racy guitar riffs and the kind of blustery energy any five young guys on a warpath to get away from the sleepy, small-town working class life might possess.

“I feel like this album is a snapshot of a 27-year-old’s life in this exact situation, the touring and the stories that go along with that, relationship-wise and otherwise,” said Fratpietro.

Now several years into the rock band thing, though only just releasing their first full-length album, their sound is commanding enough to secure Jon Drew, producer for Tokyo Police Club and the Arkells, and simple enough to seem accessible to anyone who likes a good blue-collar rocker.

Spinning on a fearless poor young thing, top-of-the-world attitude, has done them no harm and they know it.

“We first signed with Bumstead (Productions) and one of the producers asked us who we like the sound of and we really like the Arkells’s first album,” explained singer Matt Fratpietro. The Arkells are on the same label.

While in Kingston, playing at the Horseshoe Tavern, directly in front of the famous Bathouse Studios the Arkells call home, Drew came down to listen to their sound.

“So then we paid him exorbitant sums of money to produce our album,” said Fratpiet-

ro, in a characteristically flippant, if not lightheartedly obnoxious, way.

And yet, the result is something one doesn’t hear much of these days.

With a relaxed production style, little frills and almost no gimmicks, Poor Young Things are out touring the country showing Canadian kids what it means to rock post-Springsteen.

Now two years into a life based out of Toronto, they’ve also got a list of dreams to accomplish that make the crazed confidence of their lead singer seem aptly representative of their mindset.

Given their druthers, they would enjoy playing a concert with Gord Downie, of the Tragically Hip. They also figure American record producer Jack Douglas—who engineered John Lennon’s Imagine album and has a string of artist’s work on his name including Aerosmith, Patti Smith, Blue Oyster Cult, Alice Cooper—would make a fine producer.

For now, suffice to say, they’re also probably just hoping Poor Young Things remains a moniker and nothing more.

This will be the third time Poor Young Things plays Doc Willoughby’s Pub; tour stop June 14. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

▼ VOLUNTEER CENTRE

Volunteers can be average or amazing–manager’s choice Dawn Wilkinson COLUMNIST

There are volunteers, and then there are volunteers.

Our community has great causes and great needs that can only be addressed by great volunteers. Being average and offering to put in time on occasion is not the way to create sustainable and deep impact.

Last week, Michael

Lindenmayer wrote an article for Forbes that hit the nail on the head.

It was called 7 Traits of Amazing Volunteers.

Here is his list.

• Amazing volunteers are “results driven.”

My question to volunteer managers is, do we evaluate what we do in such a way that we can share our results?

• Amazing volunteers exhibit “passionate professionalism.” Do

we draw the best out of people by supporting their skills and experience, setting standards and trusting their passion?

• Amazing volunteers have a “collaborative tribal mindset.” I men-

tioned trust. Are we as volunteer managers willing to engage a sense of team where excellence in partnerships might develop in ways we originally did not foresee?

• Amazing volunteers

T N E PA R ! !

w

E EAG LE ADV E NTU R DAY CA M P

“make no excuses.” Do we set out expectations so that volunteers know what is required? Do we expect follow through?

Do we provide ways they can find their own replacements when necessary?

• Amazing volunteers are “constant champions.” Do we give volunteers enough information so that they can talk intelligently about our organizations even when

off duty?

Are their volunteer experiences with us satisfying so they want to brag about our joint work?

Do we ask them to share through their social media networks?

• Amazing volunteers are “energizers.” Do we value their contribution, support their enthusiasm, allow them to have fun and let them know how they have built us up?

• Amazing volunteers are “a match.” Do we help people recognize their contribution to others so

they can focus on that, instead of themselves?

We all want to be and to recruit amazing volunteers. Volunteer managers have a definite role in making that happen.

Rick Davis Coming out just a year after Star Wars’ special effects wowed audiences and before the age of digital special effects, they managed to live up to their own promotional line “You’ll believe a man can fly.”

Superman II was a success but numbers three and four became campy and while the 2006 reboot Superman Returns tried to recapture the magic of the first two movies, it was not well received.

If you are going to reignite the movie career of Superman, you bring some of the biggest talent in Hollywood. Behind the camera, Man of Steel has producer Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy), writer David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, Blade) and director Zack Snyder (300, and the brilliant adaptation of The Watchmen).

In front of the camera is an impressive cast: Henry Cavill (Immortals) as Clark Kent/ Superman, Academy Award-nominee Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Academy Award-winner Rus-

This is the End said to be funny apocalypse

inee Diane Lane as his adoptive mother Martha Kent, Academy Award-nominee Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Academy Award-nominee Michael Shannon as General Zod. And although the soundtrack will not have John William’s familiar tune, it has been composed by Academy Award-winner Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight, Inception).

Like Richard Donner’s 1978 classic, Man

of Steel is an epic origin story but the question is, will it be as epic as the original?

According to early reviews, it is and not only will it spawn sequels, it is intended to launch a shared fictional universe of DC Comics characters on film like Marvel did with The Avengers.

Therefore watch for a Justice League movie in the future, which will include characters like Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and more.

This is the End is the

brainchild of writer Seth Rogen who brings together friends James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson, all of them playing fictional versions of themselves.

This crude comedy follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles. As the world unravels outside, dwindling supplies and cabin fever threaten to tear apart the friendships inside.

Eventually, they are forced to leave the house, face their fate and the true meaning of friendship and redemption.

Critics are heaping praise on Rogen’s take on the “end of the world” genre, some of them calling it the wildest and funniest screen comedy in a long time.

Watch for guest appearances from Michael Cera, Jason Segel, Paul Rudd, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and even The Backstreet Boys and Rihanna.

On the topic of end

of the world, Brad Pitt’s World War Z opens next week with a special sneak preview next Thursday night.

Yet another strong entry in this summer’s blockbuster race, it is an apocalyptic thriller about a global zombie pandemic that is defeating armies and collapsing governments.

Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8 in West Kelowna. landmarkwk_gm @landmarkcinemas.ca

KEEPING THE FAITH Many years ago George Habke, a parishioner, gave me three tomato plants he had painstakingly germinated from seeds.

George could be described the tomato king of Peachland. He had won many awards for his vegetables in the Peachland Fair. So these were no ordinary tomato plants. I brought them home, watered them and put them on the back porch in anticipation of planting them the next morning. When I brought the plants home they were hale and hearty. Their stocks stood straight and strong. The branches that grew from each stock curved upward. They looked like strong leafy arms lifted up in a position of prayer and worship. The plants seemed to embody the Psalmists’ call to worship: “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.” (Psalm 134:2) and “I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.” (Psalm 63:4) I have a great memory; the problem is, it’s very short. I forgot about the tomato plants. A day and a half later, I came face to face with the plants. Their stocks were no longer straight and strong, they sagged. Their branches were no longer lifted up to heaven, they drooped. What was worse, the leaves that graced each branch were shriveled. What was I to do? It looked like they were finished.

The other day I encountered those three tomato plants again. I paid a visit to two people who have to sit on the sidelines this summer because of serious health issues.

They are experiencing real aches and pains and are undergoing serious tests and treatments. As they described their plight to me, I came to see them as two of my three tomato plants. My heart broke for them and I experienced great empathy for them. Their words made me feel differently. I could feel my stalk beginning to bend, my branches droop and my leaves shrivel. What words could I offer to help and support this couple?

We had become the three bent and shriveled tomato plants. Then the husband declared: “Pastor we can’t give up, we just have to keep the faith.” He was right! They have to keep the faith. But how does that couple keep the faith when their world seems to be crumbling around them?

I did not give up on those three tomato plants George Habke gave me. I did not throw them out. I applied water to the soil around them and hoped. The next day they stood straight and tall with arms lifted once again in worship. I remembered the words that God gave the Prophet Isaiah: “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” The three of us needed to hear God’s word.

Aches, pains and an uncertain future pound on us physically and emotionally. They cause us to wonder, question and even doubt.

Physical infirmity and emotional tenderness can cause one to ask: “Why is this happening to me?” We need to hear these words from our Lord Jesus. “He [God] causes his sun

to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

(Matthew 5:45b). Jesus reminds His disciples that God blesses the lands of believers and unbelievers with sunshine and rain so that crops grow and food is provided for. However, the same rain and sunshine can come in the form of a destructive storm, a flood or a drought. Destructive rain and sunshine also fall equally on the lands of the believer and the non-believer. We humans are just like the land. We enjoy good health and we must endure sickness and injury. Health and sickness fall on all of us equally. It matters not whether we are believers or unbelievers.

It is a consequence of living in a fallen world.

However, the response of the believer and the unbeliever to the sun and the rain that fall into our lives should not be the same. As believers, we see that our injuries and diseases are the same as for unbelievers. When we experience good health we are to praise God. When we experience illness or injury, we should not wonder whether God is punishing us; on the contrary, we are to call upon God for help and believe He will help us.

The New Testament is full of instances where people came to Jesus with an infirmity or injury and begged for help and mercy.

Jesus responded to their pleas with immediate and complete healing. We long and pray for healing in the same way. The Apostle Paul was once struck with a physical infirmity. He cried out to God for relief, “I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:7-8) Jesus’ response to Paul was that he would not be immediately healed. Paul would have to endure the illness and experience the power of Christ in Paul’s ability to endure the hardship of illness. Through Christ, Paul endured the illness and it did not result in his death. Paul’s experience changed him drastically. It changed his attitude toward life. This experience caused him to say: “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

When we are weak we need Jesus. We need to hear His words and be strengthened by them. Jesus declares that we are never alone in our suffering. He assures us that we are part of Him. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). Jesus also says: “and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” Jesus reminds us that for us to bear fruit, that is, to have faith and show our faith in concrete ways, we must experience a pruning, a cutting back. He assures us that the purpose of the pruning is not to hurt, but to guarantee more fruit. He promises that if His words come into us and we take them as our own, we

will receive more faith, more love, more joy, more peace, more kindness, more goodness, more gentleness and more selfcontrol.

Jesus also promised that, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” (John 15:9). So, together with the couple I was visiting, we lifted our hands up to God and prayed for sunshine and rain to fall. We asked God to shower them with the strength, patience and self-control they need to endure their illnesses. We prayed that Jesus would send His light on those who will treat the couple. We asked Him to take the minds of all the medical professionals called to treat them and think through them. We prayed that Jesus would reveal the cause of the couple’s diseases to those medical professionals and enlighten them as to the best course of treatment. We prayed that Jesus would bless every treatment they received ,so that their health would be restored. God is good! As we prayed together, I could sense God watering and strengthening the three of us. God touched us that day. As a result, we could move forward into the future, confident that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit walks with us and as result, the couple could endure their hardships and, with God’s help, overcome them.

George Habke’s plants also pointed to the future. He knew that the plants he germinated would grow and mature during the spring and summer and that, when fall and winter would come, the plants would fail and die no matter how much rain and sunshine they received.

However, George knew that spring would come and the cycle of life would begin again.

It is at this moment that the power of Christ will be the strongest in us. Jesus promises: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Jesus promises that He will transform us into a plant that lives forever. George’s plants gave me the inspiration to minister to this couple in their time of need in this life. They also point us to the promise of a new life and a new beginning. George Habke passed from this life to the next just a couple of weeks ago. At the memorial service held for him, a tomato plant graced our church in his honor.

Is your stalk bent? Are your branches drooping? Are your leaves shriveled? There’s plenty of gentle rain and sunshine at a church near you. Join us at Grace Lutheran Sunday at 9:00 and 10:30 AM. In Christ, Pastor Ed Skutshek

Memo

The launch of a new annual series of commissioned projects in the Rotary Courtyard space adjacent to the Kelowna Art Gallery challenges artists to create a year-long installation in the form of a garden.

The first in this series is titled A Green Desire, conceived and constructed

by Kelowna-based artist Kyle Zsombor.

For his commission, Zsombor planned an ambitious two-pronged installation.

One component will be a vertical garden (sometimes known as a living wall) on the north-facing wall of the courtyard space.

The other element is a planted arbour of clustered pillars in the centre of the space, mainly filled with strawberry plants.

Throughout the full cycle of all four seasons, Zsombor will be working hands-on in his artist’s garden.

Visitors to the Rotary Courtyard will be assured a different experience each time they visit, as Zsombor will be harvesting ripe strawberries, trimming and training plants, and adding seasonally appropriate evergreens and perennials during the year-long endeavour.

Zsombor has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from UBC Okanagan.

His artistic practice generally encompasses socio-political critique using sculpture/installation or montage.

He has an avid interest in gardening and has taken the opportunity to add this year-long project

works to deconstruct such images, and to place them in a more complex perspective.

For this series of works, Re-Mediating Curtis: Toy Portraits Foster found and purchased a selection of plastic figurines that are manufactured in Germany.

The toy figures have been influenced by early ethnography, such as the photographic works of Curtis.

Foster has photographed them in 3-D format, linking them to popular culture, and nudging the viewer to consider the 3-D as a metaphor for seeing the “other” in a fuller context.

Foster holds an MFA from York University in Toronto and teaches at the UBCO campus. He works in video and new digital media and has exhibited widely.

An opening reception to celebrate this exhibition will be held on Friday, June 21, from 7 to 9 p.m.,

An new art exhibit by Kelowna-based artist Stephen Foster featuring back-lit light boxes with photographs of toy figures, will have visitors donning pairs of 3-D glasses as part of their viewing experience.

Re-Mediating Curtis: Toy Portraits is part of Foster’s ongoing, multi-part investigation exploring depictions of indigenous people by American photographer, Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952).

The North American Indian, a multi-volume work that was published as a serial from 1907 to 1930 and contained about 2000 images, is considered to be Curtis’ magnum opus, and had a huge impact on popular images of aboriginal people in film and mainstream media throughout North America and Europe.

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.

People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. 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.

Due to plummeting blood pressure and increased heart rate when upright, Lauren could no longer sit up straight or stand for more than a few minutes at a time.

This meant Lauren had to spend most of her time in bed or in a reclining wheelchair.

Also, Lauren was so sensitive to light that it was impossible for her to even watch television or be on a computer. Noise was so painful that she had to stuff cotton baton in her ears.

Needless to say, Lauren was becoming increasingly depressed. But Lauren started to make some headway in her recovery first through the Dynamic Neural Retraining System educational DVDs. Her father creatively found a way to export and slow down the sound track on the DVDs so that Lauren could just listen to the information.

Even with this alone, Lauren started to notice some improvements, but due to illness she lacked the cognitive ability and motivation necessary to really understand and implement the limbic system rehabilitation exercises.

However, the improvements that she did make with the DVD allowed her to attend the in-person program in Santa Fe in April 2013.

Both Lauren and her parents can hardly grasp the changes that have tak-

en place in such a short amount of time. Lauren is now roller blading, has been to baseball games, out for dinner, gone to movies and concerts and

recently started to drive again. It’s hard to believe these kinds of monumental changes, however, rewiring the brain is a different paradigm.

Sometimes the changes happen gradually and sometimes they happen remarkably fast, and when this happens, it truly seems like a miracle.

From a wheelchair to roller blading in just over one month—indeed, this is the miracle of the healing brain. www.dnrsystem.com

Small Shop Saturday coincides with Bernard phase 2 opening

E

veryone downtown is so excited to see that Phase 2 of the Bernard Avenue revitalization project was completed a month early.

I’m already starting to see enterprising merchants taking advantage of the new wider sidewalks by setting out intriguing merchandise and new cafe areas.

Gotta love the warm weather, when we can finally spend so much more time outside!

I recently had a chat with Terry Simpson, owner of Zed Home. Her bright shop is located at 1615 Water St.(corner of Lawrence), filled with modern, contemporary decor items for your home.

As soon as you walk in, you’re inspired by the fresh colour accents everywhere—it’s like candy for your eyes.

Simpson bought the business two years back, after running a modern furniture store in Saskatchewan for many years.

The emphasis at

Zed Home is on Canadian-made products.

Some of these striking lines are Martha Sturdy (vases and accessories), G. Romano (sofas and chairs), Umbra (accessories).

Other product lines include Kartell (Italian chairs & stools), Designers Guild of London (rugs, candles, towels and bedding) and Robert Abbey (American-made lamps).

If you’re into fresh, modern home furnishings, you’ll definitely want to have a browse through Zed Home.

I also visited with Lily Wilkinson and Marshall Dowla the other day.

They have just opened a wonderful new store in the Towne Centre Mall (565 Bernard) called Amni Athletica.

The shop features yoga and workout wear at fantastic prices, and much of it is made in Brazil.

Many of their lines feature a fabric called “amni,” which is from a new generation of intelligent yarns that offer UV protection and also increase blood micro-circulation in the body, thereby reducing cellulite and signs of skin aging.

Who knew that a fabric could do all that?

Some of their lines that feature amni fabrics are Bia Brazil, Caju (which stretches up to 500 per cent) and Planet Body.

The store also carries Bluefish, Lino Fitness, Protokolo (made in Colombia) and Lokosport (made in Canada).

This wonderful new shop also offers caps, jewelry, scarves and leath-

lous special deals, product demos and giveaways.

It’s a lot of fun for everyone involved. The city kicks in with free parking on-street and at the library and Chapman parkades, so there will be over 2,000 free spots to ditch the car and stroll among the festivities that day.

For more information, go to www.downtownkelowna.com/smallshop.

Don’t miss out on the fun!

NEWS

Some advice on how to protect your skin from the sun S ummer is here and everyone is heading to the beach.

While many of us look forward to the sunshine and sun tanning, we can easily forget to protect our skin.

The same rays that tan us also age our skin, causing wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and put us at an increased risk for skin cancer.

When we burn, we damage our skin. Our skin cells (melanocytes) produce melanin to protect our cells from sun damage.

This is what a tan is, the melanin is the tan. So the less melanocytes you have (the more fair your skin is), the higher your risk of sun damage, and therefore skin aging and skin cancer.

The good news is that there are ways to reverse this premature aging and reduce your risk of sun damage and skin cancer.

Here are some simple, scientifically proven, natural ways to do this: high dose antioxidants!

The top five antioxidants to add daily: • Vitamin E—found

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Emina Jasarevic in almonds, avocados, and sunflower seeds. As a supplement use mixed tocopherols. Dosage: 400 IU/ day • Vitamin C—found in tomatoes, red/green peppers, melons, citrus fruits, broccoli. Dosage: use a vitamin C without sugar: 1000 mg/day.

• Resveratrol—found abundantly in the skin of red grapes, and red wine.

Dosage: 200mg/day. In addition to skin protection, colleagues at the University of South Australia found that 75 obese men and women with mildly elevated blood pressure had improved vasodilation (improved blood flow throw the vessels) after six weeks of taking Resveratrol extract.

• Green tea—at least two cups per day. Studies clearly show that the polyphenols in green

tea help to prevent skin tumors and skin damage.

• Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)—in a phase II, double-blinded, randomized-controlled trial, oral niacinamide in a dose of 500mg twice a day for four months was found to significantly reduce the number of actinic keratosis (precancerous lesions) by one third.

Compared with placebo, niacinamide decreased the incidence of new skin cap news non profit cancers (basal cell or

squamous cell carcinoma) by 76 per cent, and decreased the number of patients who developed at least 1 skin cancer by 86 per cent.

All patients were encouraged to use daily sunscreen during the trial.

Oral niacinamide and other nutrients can interfere with medications.

Please consult with your health care provider before starting any new supplement program. ad-United Way:Layout 1 Below are five nutri-

ent-rich foods for sun protection: • Betacarotene—research shows that eating five servings of foods that contain Beta-carotene for one month is enough to protect your skin from sun damage. Foods high in beta-carotene are often orange and include apricots, cantaloupe, mangoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin, as well as, dark green leafy vegetables and broccoli.

1/21/13 5:14 PM Page • Broccoli sprouts—

at John Hopkins University, mice fed broccoli sprouts twice a week for 17 weeks and saw a 70 per cent reduction in the formation of skin tumurs.

So add broccoli sprouts to your diet! Sprinkle 1⁄2 cup daily on your salad or as a side dish.

• Lycopenes—found in tomatoes and watermelons are excellent skin protectors.

• Turmeric has excellent antioxidant prop1 erties. Use in cooking.

Great in Indian dishes.

• Dark chocolate.

Choose chocolate with greater than 70 per cent cocoa. Enjoy two squares per day.

Westside-Kelowna residents will be lining up at the polls again, less than two months after they decisively voted in former Liberal MLA Ben Stewart.

Premier Christy Clark announced Wednesday morning the riding’s byelection will take place July 10.

Last week Stewart told a crowd of media and supporters he would be stepping aside so Clark—who lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat to David Eby in the provincial election—could run in a Westside-Kelowna byelection.

The premier will be up against New Democratic Party candidate Carole Gordon, who earned earned 30.5 per cent of the Westside-Kelowna vote May 14, and Conservative candidate Sean Upshaw, who ran in Penticton during the provincial election and earned nine per cent of the vote.

Both Gordon and Upshaw plan to focus their campaigns on a local angle. Gordon stated the dif-

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

PREMIER Christy Clark has announced the date of the Westside-Kelowna byelection will be July 10. to vote if they are 18 years of age or older on July 10, they are a Canadian citizen and they have lived in B.C. for the past six months.

During the byelection, voters can vote: At the district electoral office until 4 p.m. on general voting day, at any advance voting location in the electoral district July 3 to 6 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at any voting place in the electoral district on July 10 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. or by requesting a vote by mail package from the district electoral office or Elections B.C. Voter registration for the byelection closes

June 19 at midnight. Voters may register or update their voter information online at elections.bc.ca/ or or by phone toll-free at 1-800-661-8683.

The dates, times and locations of advance and general voting opportunities will be posted on the Elections BC website, published in local newspapers, delivered to all Westside-Kelowna households in a byelection pamphlet and mailed to registered voters in the electoral district on yellow Where to Vote cards. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

NDP’s Gordon running again in byelection Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Carole Gordon is getting a do-over.

The NDP candidate in Westside-Kelowna in the May 14 provincial election may have lost to Liberal incumbent Ben Stewart by more than 6,000 votes and garnered only 30 per cent of the vote, but she says she likes her chances in the same riding against Premier Christy Clark.

Gordon, who was named Tuesday as the

NDP’s candidate in the July 10 byelection, said despite her loss to Stewart she feels the NDP did pretty well.

“I actually think we did OK,” Gordon said, standing beside NDP leader Adrian Dix as her candidacy was announced.

“We did better than in (the) 2009 (provincial election).”

The local elementary school teacher said while the party approached her first about running again, the decision to go for it

was “a mutual one.”

The Westside-Kelowna seat became available last week when Stewart stepped down to allow Clark to run in order to win a seat in B.C.’s Legislature. Clark lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat to NDP challenger David Eby on election night.

Dix said Gordon’s greatest strength heading into the byelection is that she has lived here for more than 40 years, making her a truly local candidate. “That’s a 40-year head start she has (over

Clark),” said Dix. While neither Clark nor Gordon live in the riding, Gordon said her home is just a five-minute walk outside the Westside-Kelowna boundary.

“That’s a five-minute walk versus a five-hour drive,” she said, referring to Clark’s home in Vancouver.

The premier has said that if elected, she will make the riding her “second” home.

As for the campaign, Gordon said she plans to get out and door-knock

just as she did prior to the May 14 election and she challenged Clark to debate her about local issues at any and all upcoming all-candidates meetings.

Clark skipped every all-candidates meeting in Vancouver-Point Grey during the provincial campaign last month, instead focusing on campaigning for her party across B.C. She debated Dix, Green Party leader Jane Sterk and B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins

“We need to make sure appropriate health care is available locally for people. I’ve heard a lot about that.”

The premier said she will also continue to focus on bigger picture issues, such as economic growth and government spending.

“I think this byelection, just like the general election, is going to be as much about growing the economy and strong leadership to get us through difficult times as it is about the important local issues.”

Clark plans to be in the region for “at least a few weeks” during the campaign. Last week she told reporters she plans to door knock and take time to listen to people’s local issues.

She added she’d consider taking part in an all-candidates meeting, depending on her schedule in Victoria. Although, Clark skipped all debates at the riding level during last month’s provincial campaign.

ference of her proximity to the riding compared to the premier’s distance from Westside-Kelowna is “a five-minute walk versus a five-hour drive.”

When asked how she plans to compete with the other candidates’ local stance, Clark said: “The community could choose to be represented by a premier or…could choose to be represented by a member of the opposition NDP. “In terms of being able to deliver for the community, I think a premier is certainly in a better position to be able to do that.”

She added she plans to establish a second residence in the region, if elected. “I’m going to be up there a lot more than I think my opponents would suggest.”

Clark said she intends to continue focusing on issues Stewart was working on over the past four years.

“One of them is obviously Westside Road,” said Clark.

“It’s embarrassing, it’s the worst road in the province—we need to fix it.”

Hockeyville cash to buy new score clock, washroom upgrades

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

The District of West Kelowna has found a

way to spend its $25,000 Hockeyville prize money.

And council is optimistic, this time, the public will approve of its de-

cision.

Council unanimously voted to use the money toward installing a new score clock in Jim Lind

“It’s been here quite some time.”

The cost of installing the score clock is approximately $15,000. The rest of the money will be put toward washroom upgrades, which was one of the top priority items identified in the feedback dis-

Bank Society.

“I’ve worked hard to get different suppliers on board to help us with food coming in,” said Lowther.

The look of the food bank has changed as well.

Last winter, clothing and other items were stored under tents, which limited Lowther’s ability to keep the area organized.

Now, three large, organized storage containers are filled with donated clothing and other household items.

“The biggest compliment I get is how clean it is, how professional it looks now.”

Lowther said the food bank currently helps out

about 40 single parents and seniors and is always looking to assist other West Kelowna residents who are in need.

“There are a lot of single parents who are struggling, I see it every day when they come in.

“They’re looking for a little bit of help for a couple of weeks, months or whatever it might be, just to help them through from paycheque to paycheque.”

She added Friendly People’s offers fresh milk and eggs, which are purchased with money raised through various fundraisers such as bottle drives.

The food bank has

also began growing potatoes, carrots, onions and other vegetables in a community garden. Lowther plans to use the produce to fill hampers this fall.

“That’s what we’re doing to help ourselves be a little more self-sufficient—we might as well use the land we have.”

Food, clothing and appliance donations are always welcome, said Lowther, but Friendly People’s is especially in need of towels and bedding, as well as pots and pans.

participated in an election or byelection all-candidates debate at the riding level in 30 years in this province. It’s unclear if Clark plans to break that tradition.

Both Dix and Gordon said the byelection should focus on local issues, such as seniors’ care, health

care, road safety and a myriad of other provincial issues that apply to this area, such as government spending using money that could go to pay for local programs and services.

Meanwhile, the B.C. Conservatives have named local realtor Sean Upshaw as their candidate.

trict staff received.

Council was also presented with the option of constructing a Mount Boucherie Complex electronic entrance sign, which could act as a community message board.

Council decided not to use the Hockeyville money for that option; however, it will consider the project during its 2014

budget deliberations.

Both the score clock installation and washroom upgrades are expected to be completed by the time Jim Lind Arena—which is currently closed for repairs—is re-opened in August 2013. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Last November, the district was leaning toward using the money for the construction of a $125,000 electronic highway sign.

After receiving a considerable amount of negative feedback from the public, council scrapped that idea during its 2013 budget deliberations.

Since January, residents have submitted various ideas of how the district can use the prize money. Staff once again met with the Hockeyville committee to determine an appropriate alternate use for the prize.

The new score clock will feature a plaque or display that recognizes West Kelowna’s secondplace result in the 2012 Kraft Hockeyville competition.

According to Erin Goodwin, facilities supervisor for the district, the old score clock uses incandescent bulbs, which are less energy efficient than LED bulbs.

FIRST - Do you have the financial resources? You should have five percent of the purchase price of a home for the down payment, but ideally even more. Are there other priorities in your life e.g. starting a new business, which require your savings? If not, buying a home should be on your radar.

SECOND - Do you expect to stay in your new home for some time?

Moving can be expensive and you will want to build some equity before having to relocate.Your job and home life should be stable.
