finished leading scorer for the Cleveland Bombers. Mangold was a physical player and Green said she had memories of watching her uncle play in Kelowna, then going to give him a hard time when he ended up in the penalty box. But above Mangold’s love for sports was his love for family, said Green. “He hugged everyone. He had a smile that lit up the room and he had love for everyone,” said Green. Green said her entire family was shocked to hear about the fatal incident because her uncle was familiar with Okanagan Lake. “He grew up on this lake. He used to be a slalom water skier…that’s what’s so crazy about the whole situation,” said Green. “It’s a big loss to all of us. We’re still very much in shock. He was a big part of our family. He loved us and loved his family a lot.” The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate the incident. According to Const. Kris Clark, visibility and speed were likely factors in the crash.

But the industry has

been lagging behind places like Washington State when it comes to technological improvements. The aging packinghouse in Winfield was a prime example. Tyabji said this investment will bring the industry onto equal footing with Washington State and allow Okanagan apples to better compete in the market place. “The growers in our cooperative and our farmers want to thank both lev-

els of government for this investment,” he said. “With this change we are now capable of matching Washington packing costs. We weren’t able to do that before but we are now.” The investment was made under the federal and provincial Tree Fruit Market and Infrastructure Initiative and comes on the heels of a $5 million funding announcement in See Feds A9

Former Kelowna Packers hockey player Pat Mangold, 47, died Saturday night after crashing his jet ski into a log boom on Okanagan Lake near Trader’s Cove. Mangold was riding his jet ski around 8:30 p.m. when he struck a log boom and was thrown from his personal watercraft. A nearby boater heard the impact and was able to get Mangold aboard his boat. As a result, he was quickly transported to the shore and then taken to hospital by ambulance; however, he was not able to be resuscitated. Mangold had two daughters. His niece, Kerri Green, described him as “an amazing father.” Born at Kelowna General Hospital in 1966, Mangold spent his early days in the region, according to Green. Eventually, his talent and love for hockey took him elsewhere. According to the Internet Hockey Database, Mangold began his WHL career with the Calgary Wranglers in 1981. After two seasons with the Wranglers—playing just three games per season—

B.C. agriculture minister gets first-hand look at hail damage Better late than never. B.C.’s agriculture minister had a first hand look at hail damaged orchards in the Central Okanagan earlier this week, more than two weeks after the storm ripped through the area. The B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association hosted Pat Pimm on a tour of areas impacted by the severe hail that occurred on the evening of Aug. 12, on Tuesday. About 30 growers and B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association representatives accompanied Pimm on the tour in South Kelowna. “The growers are very disheartened to suffer this damage so close to harvest,” said Jeet Dukhia, president of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association. “We all appreciate the time the Minister set aside to come and see firsthand the impact of this severe weather event. The impacted growers appreciate the compassion shown by

B.C. AGRICULTURE MINISTER Patt Pimm (left) tours a hail-damaged fruit orchard in South Kelowna Tuesday with BCFGA president Jeet Dukhia. our new minister of agriculture.” Pimm said his ministry staff will assess the

damages and he reiterated several times to growers that it is premature to make decisions before an

assessment is made of the type and severity of damage, said BCFGA officials.

The Aug. 12 hail storm occurred around 8 p.m. in areas of South Kelowna. The storm lasted about 15

minutes, with hail pellets up to the size of marbles. In that short time, trees and vines were left with shredded leaves, and fruit was severely damaged with bruising and cuts to the skin of the fruit. Damage was extensive to about 700 acres, with much of that area suffering damage that will make the fruit unharvestable, say growers. An estimated 25 to 35 farms suffered severe damage and will lose their entire crop of apples, impacting up to 15 per cent of the entire apple harvest this year. Several table grape and wine grape growers lost entire crops as well. But, overall, less than one per cent of the total wine grape crop was affected. Growers at a roundtable meeting with Pimm after the tour noted that while crop insurance covers damage to the crop itself, it does not cover damage to trees.

Leaves were shredded and bruises to tree bark has now erupted into splits in the bark. The BCFGA says growers face extra costs that will include additional fertilizers and nutrients to restore the health of the trees and vines, extra time pruning out damaged fruit, extra pest control due to open bark lesions that provide access to tree-damaging insects, reducing crop load to strengthen trees and extra handling of unharvested fruit that will habour pests. “We are encouraging affected growers to keep good records of the extra work and materials used due to the hail damage,” said Dukhia. He said the records may be the basis for proving the need for more government assistance to farmers who are recovering from the damage caused by the storm.

Province puts $85K into farmers’ markets Buy Local promotion Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets is aiming to target new customers after the province announced $85,000 in funding Wednesday. The campaign will take place across B.C. in the 2014 summer market season and will engage all of BCAFM’s 100 members. The plan is to utilize social media tools including Facebook and Twitter in combination with media ads and online incentives and contests to raise awareness of local farmers’ markets across

B.C. The primary target will be women between the ages of 25 and 45. A video will also be produced for placement on the BCAFM’s, as well as other markets’ websites. “We have a goal in our province to take the agriculture industry from $10.5 billion per year to $14 billion by 2017,” said Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm. “This is one of the ways that we’re looking at doing it.” The agriculture minister added the program will target a “whole different crowd” to shop at farmers’ markets throughout

the province. “As local farmers, we have to stay up with the times…that’s what it’s going to take to grow our industry.” Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market manager Bob Callioux said he believes Kelowna will directly benefit from the investment announcement. “It’s going to educate people about the local products and the health benefits behind them,” said Callioux. Kelowna’s market has seen significant growth over its 18 year history, according to Callioux. “We started in 1995

with four vendors—today we’re up to 165 vendors, with 60 per cent of that being farm product. Back then we only had a few shoppers, now we’re up to 20,000 shoppers a week that come through the market.” Callioux predicted $10 million was spent at the local market last year. He is optimistic campaigns like the one announced Wednesday will help that number grow. Elizabeth Quinn, executive director of the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets, said Vancity will also contribute $70,000 to the campaign. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

why an entirely non-custodial sentence was not adequate to achieve the purposes of sentencing, especially because of evidence that she was a low risk to offend and that a prison sentence might have a negative impact on her rehabilitation. However, the Court of Appeal acknowledged the trial judge considered the teen’s vulnerability if she were to go to an adult facility and instead sent her to a youth detention facility. The appeal court also noted the trial judge faced what it called a “conundrum” when balancing factors like the young

woman’s low risk to reoffend against her “high” degree of responsibility and the seriousness of the offence. “In my view, the sentencing judge made no error in the manner in which he balanced the sentencing principles and objectives of the YCJA as they applied to the appellant,” concluded Justice Nicole Garson. “His reasons make clear that he did consider other non-custodial sentencing options but that on balance he considered a fit sentence, one that fully observed the principles in section 38 of the YCJA, required the incarceration of [the young woman] for nine months of her sentence.” The justices also rejected the argument that the trial judge did not state the reasons for the sentence sufficiently. Tuesday’s decision denying the appeal came nearly two weeks after lawyers made their arguments for and against the appeal in Vancouver.

The young woman convicted of manslaughter in the 2010 death of Ashlee Hyatt has lost her sentence appeal. In a decision rendered Tuesday, Court of Appeal justices rejected the young woman’s argument that the trial judge erred in giving her a custodial sentence. The now 19-year-old, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was sentenced in April to nine months in open custody at a youth facility, nine months of community supervision and 18 months of probation. The sentence came after a jury found her guilty of manslaughter in the June 2010 death of 16-year-old Ashlee Hyatt, who was fatally wounded at a Peachland house party.

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce has joined litigation filed in a U.S. court to push back against border measures that pose what it considers a serious risk for B.C. businesses and tourism. The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce supports the move. “Although we recognize the mutual sovereignty of our border with the U.S. we would welcome some reasonable flexibility when border guards feel the need to deny entry to Canadian business people,” said David Bond, president of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce. “As our countries strive towards new levels of co-operation through the Beyond the Border Action Plan, these border rules could negatively affect both Canadian and U.S. based businesses.” Currently, British Col-

Knox Mountain road reopened Thanks to the cooler weather, the upper portion of Knox Mountain Park Drive was to reopen to traffic today, Aug. 29. Since Aug. 1, residents and visitors have only been able at access the top portion of Knox by foot or bike as the result of an extremely high fire hazard. “As much as we all love the hot summer weather, it is nice that the weather has cooled enough to reduce the fire hazard and allow us to open Knox to traffic,” said Blair Stewart, urban forestry supervisor. “However, we do ask that park visitors still use caution while in the park.” In addition to monitoring the park for fire hazards, city crews also work to preserve and maintain the most important and well-known natural area park in Kelowna. The work includes the reconstruction of the Apex Trail into the fall in order to preserve the park for future use. “It is important that park users obey safety signs posted during construction, and follow the direction of workers to ensure safety and to protect the park,” said Stewart.

umbians heading to the U.S. for business or tourism purposes face a border regime that empowers border guards, at their own discretion and without avenue for appeal, to bar Canadians entry to the U.S. for periods of five years or more under an “expedited removal” process. The border rules pose a particular threat to B.C. businesses. The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce says it supports the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, which has partnered with the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce, the Northwest Economic Council and Pacific Corridor Enterprise Council to file an “amicus brief” in a case pending before a U.S. appeals court (the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals). The case concerns the

issue of whether a Canadian citizen seeking entry to the U.S. can be subject to expedited removal by U.S. Customs

and Border Protection. An amicus brief is a legal vehicle that allows parties that are not involved in a specific legal action to provide courts with additional information pertaining to the case that’s before the courts. Greg Boos is the Bellingham-based immigration attorney who authored the amicus brief on behalf of the B.C. chamber and the other involved parties. “Allowing CBP to make unreviewable determinations of admissibility into the U.S. invites abuse of discretion,” Boos said. Recent border situations in the Pacific Northwest, where Canadians were placed into expedited removal, have involved Canadians seeking entry to the U.S. to attend meetings, visit vacation homes or engage in other travel into the United States.

West Kelowna filmmaker to tell story of rocker Keith Emerson

the famous keyboardist in England. Woodford told Emerson of his desire to turn the autobiography into a documentary. “I took down a short film I’d shot in the Okanagan…he watched it at some point during the tour and loved it. We started shooting in 2007.” So far Woodford has shot over 80 hours worth of footage ranging from interviews about Emerson’s early life to details of his rock star lifestyle. “Kelowna has been the location for some of the elements in the documentary. We had Keith come down to Kelowna on a couple of occasions.” Woodford is now looking to raise funds to get the local film crew down to Kentucky to

STAFF REPORTER

Since 2007, West Kelowna filmmaker Jason Woodford has been shooting video, conducting interviews and doing research to tell the story of rock and roll legend Keith Emerson. Now, six years later, Woodford is nearing completion of the production phase of Emerson: Pictures of an Exhibitionist. “It’s been a long project; it’s been a labour of love, really,” said Woodford. He first got involved with the project after reading Emerson’s autobiography in 2005. Woodford was able to connect with Emerson at a gig shortly after—it helped that his father went to school with

document Emerson receiving a lifetime achievement award from Orchestra Kentucky on Sept. 17. He said that event will likely make a “nice ending to the film.” There are just over three days left on Woodford’s Indiegogo campaign—which can be found by searching “Emerson: Pictures of an Exhibitionist pt. 2” on indiegogo.com—and the filmmaker is still a few thousand dollars short of his $6,000 fundraising goal. Woodford is hoping to have the first cut of the documentary completed this winter. For more information about the documentary, visit progrockdoc.com. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

UBCO sets new student record September at UBC’s Okanagan campus is a time of new beginnings, fresh faces, new ideas, wish lists and to-do lists. And for the more than 1,300 faculty and staff, it is also a time of excitement as this year’s record 8,346 students—including 1,833 in first year, 631 graduate and 670 international students—arrive on campus. In September 2012, UBCO had 8,307 fulltime enrolments. While UBCO has proven a successful and popular choice for students, the university must continue to excel when it

comes to education and research opportunities, said deputy vice-chancellor and principal Deborah Buszard. Just eight years ago, UBCO opened with about 3,000 students, 80 of whom were international. There were 44 graduate students. “Our remarkable growth shows that UBC Okanagan is a school of choice,” said Buszard. “But we cannot rest on our laurels. We are dedicated to providing our students with a university experience that is transformative, challenging and competitive.” UBCO today is vastly different from the university that opened on an Okanagan hilltop in September 2005, said Buszard.

Medical Program and the School of Engineering, have added significantly to the academic offerings. UBC Okanagan has evolved into a full research-intensive university, with more than $14.4 million in research funding for 606 projects last year alone. “The campus is driving economic, social and cultural change in our region and beyond,” Buszard said. “It is remarkable that in such a short period of time we are already seeing positive impact in areas such as the healthcare system, innovation and economic development.” Buszard is entering her second year at the helm of the campus. Her first saw the official opening of three of the campus’s top-notch research and teaching facilities— the Reichwald Health Sciences Centre, home of the Southern Medical Program, the engineering, management and education building and the new Arts and Sciences Centre building that houses departments of the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, as well as some faculty of health and social development programs, lab spaces for the schools of nursing and health and exercise sciences and a student collegium. Last year also saw the conclusion of the seven-year, $400-million campus construction build-out, providing students, faculty and staff with many state-of-the-art facilities where they can learn, work and play. The newest facility on campus, the Hangar Fitness and Wellness Centre, has fitness studios for yoga, dance and spin bikes and a large cardio and strength training area complete with top-of-theline cardio equipment, free weights and weight machines. The Hangar, which will official open on Sept. 17, is so named because a large part of its funding came from Kelowna Flightcraft founder Barry Lapointe and family. The Hangar is connected to the gymnasium, home to UBC Okanagan’s Heat teams who will play their first offi-

cial season as full members of the Canada West Universities Athletic Association. The Heat’s two-year trial period in Canada West ended in June 2013. Buszard said the Heat’s full membership in Canada West is a significant milestone and she knows many people on campus, along with area residents, who are looking forward to cheering on the Heat teams as they compete at a top level. “Our UBC Okanagan Heat teams are now officially recognized amongst the best university teams in the country,” she said. “Heat student athletes are outstanding ambassadors of our campus with their commitment and dedication to athletic competition and scholastic achievement.” The first days of September are busy ones on campus with a number of events organized to ensure all students feel welcome and settled. New international students are participating in Jump Start, which runs until Friday, while returning domestic students will take part in Kick Start from today until Saturday. And new-to-campus students have a special orientation event called Create on Sept. 3. During the daylong series of events students will learn about the people, places, activities and resources available on campus. Guided by returning students, they will tour campus and be introduced to the deans of their faculties, their professors and other students. Showcase, a vendor market to highlight local goods and services, happens the same day as Create and gives students an introduction to what services are available to them off campus as well. “It’s a case of making every individual on this campus feel like they belong here,” said Buszard. “Every one of our students is important to us. We are honoured they chose to attend UBC’s Okanagan campus. “It’s a great place for our students to be and I know our faculty members will help them excel at being the very best they can be.”

will not be recognized on highway signs. In this case, Oyama is part of the District of Lake Country. However, Baker points out that Oyama has been featured alongside Lake Country on highway sig years. “Oyama is an entity. They can put a sign up showing the Oyama exit,” he said, adding that his council will lobby the provincial government over the issue. “We will take it to whatever level we need to so we can get this done.”

Since the new highway opened Aug. 16, many Oyama businesses have seen revenue drop because motorists aren’t sure of how to access Oyama Road or the old highway, now known as Pelmewash Parkway. “It’s a brand new name and it doesn’t mean Oyama to anyone yet,” said Alan Gatzke, owner of Gatzke Orchards. “The day after the highway opening, business dropped like a rock.

A Ministry of Transportation official is expected to meet with Gatzke Sept. 4 and Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick has also been made aware of the local concerns.

options to make energy efficient improvements to their homes. “The city is proud to be a municipal partner in the Okanagan Energy Diet,” said Mayor Walter Gray. “The program helps meet our community goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent by 2020 and also helps residents save energy dollars in their homes.” Research for Kelowna’s 2012 Community Climate Action Plan identified that for 32 per cent of residents, the cost of making energy efficiency

home upgrades is a barrier to reducing home energy use. The Fortis program provides, at a reduced cost, a step-by-step process for residents to take advantage of residential rebates for home upgrades that will result in long-term energy savings. “These energy diets have proven to be a very effective way to help customers make energy saving upgrades to their homes,” said Tom Loski, vice-president of customer service for FortisBC. “In fact, during our Rossland Energy Diet many participants re-

duced their energy use by 50 per cent or more.” The Energy Diet specifically supports two goals outlined in Kelowna’s Community Climate Action Plan—partnering with utility companies to implement community-based social marketing programs to encourage energy efficient upgrades, and reducing natural gas and electrical energy consumption in existing buildings by three per cent below 2007 levels. Kelowna is joining other Okanagan communities, such as Penticton, Keremeos and Osoyoos in partnering with Fortis

to provide residents with direct support in making home energy upgrades. As part of the program, participants will receive a home energy assessment and installation of energy efficiency products, such as: outlet insulation, a low flow shower head, and kitchen tap aerators, for $35—about 90 per cent off the regular combined price of $400. They can also use the FortisBC energy calculator (fortisbc.com/energycalculator) to compare the costs of different home heating energy sources and individual appliance energy costs.

It’s clear, it’s time to reform Senate

he latest revelation from the ongoing Senate expense scandal is that Saskatchewan Senator Pamela Wallin will likely be asked to repay about $120,000 in expenses. This comes as a result of an external audit of her expenses, which in about two years were more than $300,000. While Prime Minister Stephen Harper has worked to try and reform the Senate from within since winning power in 2006, it is clear that this institu-

tion just doesn’t get it. It is notable that two of the most profligate senators in the spending department, Wallin and Mike Duffy, were longtime TV journalists who regularly reported on numerous scandals in Ottawa. They join two other senators, Mac Harb—who quit the Senatethis week—and Patrick Brazeau, in showing Canadians how out of touch the Senate is with the real folks who pay taxes to support this kind of behaviour. All but Harb were appointed by

Harper. Harper’s government has now asked the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on just how Senate reform can proceed, as the institution is mandated in the constitution and thus is very hard to change. But it clearly has a lot of institutional problems which are deep-rooted. The vast majority of the public support abolition at present. If there was a national referendum on abolition, it would likely pass in each province, which would

probably be enough of a popular mandate to support a constitutional change. But provinces don’t give up powers easily, and all it would take is one province which decided to go against the popular will for whatever reason it deems appropriate. The Senate is badly in need of radical reform. Perhaps a first step would be to limit senators’ expenses to a modest maximum amount which would cover real expenses. Langley Times

More deaths from talking hands-free than drunk driving

hould phoning and texting while driving carry the same penalties as drunk driving? That was the topic of the Aug. 25 episode of CBC Radio’s Cross Country Checkup. Guest host, Ted Blades, introduced the topic with the statistic that distracted driving, such as talking on phones and texting, has become the No. 1 cause of highway deaths in Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. It is No. 2 in Ontario, behind speeding but ahead of drunk driving. Laws prohibiting hand-held but al-

lowing hands-free cell phone use were exposed as problematic. According to guest Jeff Walker, the National vice-president of Public Affairs for the CanPaul adian Automobile AsHergott sociation (CAA), the data says that handsfree cell phone use, whether voice to text or talking, is just as bad and may be worse than having the cell phone in your hands. I get frustrated and angry every time I think about British Columbia’s laws that prohibit hand-held but implicitly endorse hands-free cell phone use. How can we have made it illegal

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

in British Columbia for a driver to hold a cell phone up to his or her ear while engaging in a dangerously distracting telephone discussion, while allowing the exact same dangerous behaviour with the cell phone sitting on the console? Perhaps our law makers were misinformed about the dangers of distracted driving when we brought in the law. As the statistics for distracted driving injuries and deaths climb, how can we not yet have woken up to the truth and changed the law to prohibit cell phone use while driving altogether? Perhaps politicians don’t like to admit when they’re wrong, particu-

larly after having caused a mass purchase of hands-free cell phone technology. I forgive you for being wrong. Please, just do what’s right. How many hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of tax dollars and other costs to British Columbians need to be wasted in emergency services, medical care, economic and other losses, before we start taking steps to solve this growing problem? Back to the topic of treating distracted driving behaviours the same way we treat drunk driving. Drunk driving has become less and less socially acceptable as we have collectively come to recognize the horrible consequences of drunk

driving. We have become less and less likely to drive drunk, and less and less tolerant of that dangerous driving behaviour in others. With distracted driving topping drunk driving as a cause of driving injuries and deaths, the same transition has to occur with distracted driving. Aggressive, and expensive, public awareness campaigns need to be launched, pointing to the dangers of cell phone use while driving. I suggest that the cheapest and most effective public awareness campaign would be a change in the law to prohibit all cell phone use while driving, hand-held and hands-free.

TIMELESS QUALITY & COMFORT

Youth at risk need our continuing support from a wide base of sources To the editor: On May 7, 2013, there was a meeting at the Westbank Community Hall concerning homeless youth here in West Kelowna. I hope that our community continues to insist on helping them. To have to return day after day to a home that is unsafe, vio-

lent and unreasonable is damaging to a person of any age. A child who is abused and constantly told that it is their fault, is a child that is being programmed to fail in life. The youth is now wired to be attracted to, and attract, people who are like their parents were—unsafe and un-

reasonable. Unless they are able to get counselling, which is hard work and not always affordable, they may well be dealing with the effects of their abusive home life well into their 40s, as they are trying to raise families of their own. Abuse tends to be handed down generation-

ally. It certainly was in my family. The abuse today’s homeless youth have suffered, may well be passed on to this community’s next generation if there is no help established. Please continue to be involved in supporting the initiative to get a shelter for homeless youth up and

Where do Syria’s chemical weapons come from? When will we ever learn? To the editor: Re: chemical weapons of war. So, now we hear news that chemical nerve gas might have been used in Syria. That is no surprise, some crazy people wage war. So, ask yourself: Where do the chemicals come from? Probably the USA, Russia or maybe

China. Are the other countries of the world any better than the ones “using” the weapons that were supplied from abroad? Saddam Hussein used the same kind of weapons against the Kurds in Iraq. Where do all the weapons come from? They are supplied by all the other countries— nothing personal—it is just business.

It is the “business” of killing children and destroying a country of many innocent people just trying to make a living and getting along. We should all be ashamed of ourselves for just being bystanders in all this. We have not come very far from the time of the crazy Romans who waged war just for the fun of it. When will we ever learn?

To the editor: This letter is a question put out to some of the “born and raised in Kelowna” people—there are really not a lot of us I was recently out for a bike ride and stopped for a bite to eat at one of my favourite little places—The

Shady Rest fish and chip shop on Sutherland Avenue. As I was sitting there enjoying my meal I was remembering coming to this exact same spot as a little girl, a teeny bit more than 50 years ago (yikes). Same name, same spot.

This started me thinking—how many retail businesses can say the same thing here in town? Still operating in Kelowna, same business, same location, at least 50 years later. After thinking about it for the rest of the day I

Scream, shout to change law Hergott from A10 While raising awareness is part of the solution, we have learned the hard lesson with drunk driving that dangerous driving behaviours don’t stop just because they become socially unacceptable. The brilliant step taken by British Columbia to impose harsh, roadside penalties for drunk driving has resulted in a measurable reduction in drunk driving deaths, pointing to enforcement as an important tool. Yes, harsh penalties would undoubtedly reduce the behaviour, but is it appropriate? Are dis-

tracted driving behaviours as morally reprehensible as driving drunk? I say no, given our collective ignorance about the dangers of cell phone use while driving, fuelled by a lack of legal prohibition when that behaviour is done hands-free. Once we learn about how dangerous the behaviour is, though, I would argue that the sober choice to engage in a dangerous driving behaviour is even more morally reprehensible than making the alcohol impaired choice of driving drunk. I invite anyone interested to listen to the archived CBC program

which you can find by typing “Cross Country Checkup driving” into an Internet search engine. Once you get your head around it, I invite you to scream and shout and stomp your feet until we take concrete steps in the right direction in British Columbia.

Last month, he had been ordered to stand trial following a preliminary hearing and his case had been sent to Supreme Court to set a date for trial. Instead, he chose to go back to provincial court and pleaded guilty to the offences, court documents show. Werner was arrested on Nov. 20, 2012, after West Kelowna RCMP received a report of a robbery that had occurred at The Wine Store, located at 2130 Louie Drive. Police say they had already been tracking him

because of earlier robberies in the area and were able to quickly nab him after the heist. “As a result of surveillance on the suspect, RCMP members were already on scene when this last robbery took place and the suspect was quickly arrested after a short foot pursuit,” Const. Kris Clark said last November. Werner was charged in connection with the robbery at The Wine Store, as well as robberies that occurred on Nov. 13 and Nov. 15, 2012. The location of those robberies was not disclosed in court documents. Werner remains in custody and is scheduled to return to court Aug. 30.

North Westside firefighters have more territory to cover. The Regional District of Central Okanagan board has agreed to extend the North Westside fire protection boundary to include 190 hectares. “It’s within the eight kilometre distance from the Shorts Creek fire hall,” said director Jim Edgson of the property which is six kilometres south of La Casa on Westside Road.

“We have the equipment to handle it and once the boat house is completed this fall, we will be able to use that equipment (fire boat) too.” RDCO directors made the decision to extend the boundary after a request was received from the land owner. The property consists of a home and some ancillary buildings, and Edgson says there are no development plans. The boundary extension includes a financial arrangement to cover the

a variety of services. The data is then broken down into a graph that clearly indicates when a larger than normal discrepancy exists between service level and importance. Discrepancies determine if a service exceeds, meets or falls short of taxpayers’ expectations. West Kelowna officials say municipal funds are limited, so a tool that identifies the priorities of the taxpayer is extremely beneficial to the district, particularly when comparisons from previous years are available and trends begin to form. As in previous years, the 2013 survey was created using District of West Kelowna staff and supplies because similar polls cost thousands of dollars. The deadline for submitting completed surveys back to the district is Tuesday, Sept. 3.

West Kelowna council supports new driving range

Wade Paterson -STAFF REPORTER e There are still several hoops to jump through, e but part of a Shannon lLake Road property is one -step closer to becoming a hgolf driving range. - The property, locatred at 2110 Shannon Lake dRd., is currently being

p▼ -

used as a hay field. Terry Draginda, agent for the proposal, told council the driving range could be reverted back to agricultural use in the future as only temporary structures will be used. He added the facility will be “professionally landscaped” and residents in the area won’t be dis-

tracted by the noise of golf balls being hit as the tee boxes will be 460 yards from the nearest house. Coun. Rick de Jong wasn’t in favour of the request. “I’m always very supportive of agricultural land; I don’t like seeing agricultural land come out of production,” said de

Jong. Coun. Duane Ophus added the addition of a driving range could change the character of the neighbourhood. “We’re talking about putting a gigantic fence up along Shannon Lake Road…it’s a real significant change in land use we’re talking about in that

particular location,” said Ophus. But Coun. Gord Milsom said the driving range would be a “welcomed recreational addition” to West Kelowna. “I just think this type of use would benefit our community much more than the current use,” said Milsom.

West Kelowna’s Agricultural Advisory Committee supported the application with the conditions that it be a temporary measure with no paving or permanent structures in order to preserve farmland until farming is more economically viable. In a 5-2 vote, West Kelowna council supported

the non-farm use request to allow a driving range on a four-hectare portion of the property. Ophus and de Jong were opposed to the motion. It will now be up to the Agricultural Land Commission to decide whether or not a driving range is an appropriate use for the site.

Wine festival and museum team up to judge wine labels

The Okanagan Wine Festivals Society and the Kelowna Museums Society have teamed up to present a first-of-its-kind partnership that celebrates the infusion of art and wine. This year the British Columbia Wine Awards will also feature the British Columbia Wine Label n Awards under the direch tion of the B.C. Wine Mus seum. The awards honour wineries across the provd ince for their excellence in creativity and ingenuity in wine labeling. , The inaugural joint competition is being held in conjunction with the annual Okanagan Fall s Wine Festival, which attracts more than 10,000 visitors who enjoy more y than 150 events through, out the Valley every September. s “The BC Wine Mud seum at Kelowna Museums is pleased to , present its 14th B.C. Wine Label Awards competit tion, said Lesley Moore, executive director of the Kelowna Museums Society. r “The awards celebrate d the creativity, artistry, sot phistication and ingenuity of wineries across the t province in their wine y label design, packaging a and marketing. The days of simple imagery are r -

long gone as labels now are works of art in their own right.” B.C. wine label entries will be submitted online and will be judged by a panel of experts. The competition explores the elements of presentation and marketing of wine and the influences affecting the consumer’s choice and buying decision. Judges will base their evaluations on originality, design, colour and text of the label on the bottle or package. In all categories, the judges will look for visually distinct label designs that best reflect the character of the category of wines. The premier British Columbia wine competition, the British Columbia Wine Awards, is the province’s largest wine competition, which annually receives approximately 600 entries. The contest is open to all British Columbia wineries that use 100 per cent fruit grown in the province. Judging is conducted by a panel of wine professionals from across North America, ranging from wine writers to restaurateurs and wine educators. The judging will start Sept. 28, and takes place over three days at the

Penticton Trade and Convention Center. The judges will include: • Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson—wine writer for the Winnipeg Free Press • Brad Royale—sommelier and wine director for Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts • Dan Berger—Sonoma County wine writer and critic • Jesse Willis—sommelier and proprietor of Vine Arts Wine and Spirits • Samantha Rahn—wine director for Araxi Restaurant in Whistler

couple of years and each awards season brings new surprises. This is also the first glimpse of the terrific 2012 vintage in the B.C. Wine Awards, so I’m looking forward to tasting a full lineup of entries from across the province,” Roland Kruger, generPosition Title: Employer:

Kelowna’s Cottage Quilting has new owner with new energy This week’s column is dedicated to long-time friend and well-known reporter, talk-show host and news anchor Kim Calloway, who passed away last week. Most recently with Q103.1, Kim was in the industry for 50 years and worked in Kelowna for more than 20 years. He was a good friend, a respected reporter and a huge community supporter. The media industry and our city will miss his familiar face and voice. Personal condolences to his fiancée, Arlene McClelland, his entire family and his many friends.

elocated from Calgary, Meagan Hughes is the new owner of Cottage Quilting at 110-2000 Spall Road. Meagan has brought a new energy and feel to the store, saying the coffee’s always on. She offers classes, from beginner to expert, for small or large projects, technique drive and has open sew days (Finish it Fridays—bring your unfinished projects to the store and sew away), along with demo days.

The 3 on 3 ice rink in West Kelowna, (formerly known as OTR, NTR and Puckmasters) has new owners, and has been re-branded with a new look. It has been completely renovated, offering a safe, clean and fun environment to all users of the facility. Local residents Bob Petty and Cory Davidson have purchased the facility, which is now named Okanagan Ice and Training Centre (OIC), located at 1322 Stevens Road in West Kelowna. The pair are a good fit for partners, as Bob is focusing on the business/finance part of the operation with his background and Cory is focusing on marketing with his skills in that area. The facility now boasts good ice, good boards and a clean atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

Did you know that the Arrowleaf Balsamroot, aka the Okanagan sunflower, is the official flower of Kelowna? The Okanagan sunflower thrives particularly well in the Kelowna area and is one of the longest blooming wildflowers. The plant is drought tolerant and completely edible. The flower was even used by First Nation’s peoples as a food source at one time. Its large yellow flowers reflect the sunny Okanagan skies and the hot summer

SPORTS ▼ KELOWNA ROCKETS

Huska contract extended three more years Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The professional relationship that began more than a decade ago between Ryan Huska and the Kelowna Rockets is far from over. The Western Hockey League club this week signed the 38-year-old head coach to a three-year contract extension, potentially keeping Huska on board through to the end of the 2016-17 season. “We’re thrilled to have Ryan signed long-term,” said Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton. “We understand and we encourage his goals to move along and advance his career. This ensures that he’s going to be in Kelowna as long as he’s coaching in the WHL.” Huska, who joined the Rockets in 2002-03 as an assistant coach, insists there is no better situation at this stage of his career than the one that exists in Kelowna. “I feel like this is a wonderful place to work, to work with the people that we have here is second to none,” said Huska. “I think the WHL, and our team in particular, is a great place to learn and improve as a coach. Even after this long, you learn something every night. There is no better organization in junior hockey or family (Hamilton) to work for.” After spending six seasons as an assistant coach and helping the Rockets to a Memorial Cup title in 2004, Huska took over the head coaching duties for the 2007-08 season. Success was quick to follow as he guided Kelowna to the WHL title

in 2009 and a berth in the Memorial Cup championship in Rimouski. The Rockets haven’t posted a losing record or missed the playoffs during Huska’s six-year tenure, compiling on overall regular season mark of 246-153-33. In 2012-13 under Huska, the club established a club record with 52 regular season victories en route to the B.C. Division title. In addition to a positive working environment, Huska pointed to the club’s depth, talent and future potential as another key factor in his decision to add time to his contract. “You look at our group and we’re excited about this year and the next few years down the road, too,” he said. “We all want to win here and we feel like we’ve built our way up to a position where we can take a run at a championship or two. It’s an exciting time to be involved with this team.” Based both on his experience and past record of success, Huska is already a strong candidate to make the jump to the professional ranks. And while that goal remains on the table over the long-term, Huska is more than content to focus on his major junior career, at least for the foreseeable future. “We do this job to try and make our way to the NHL, just like the players do. Having said that, you can always learn a lot and improve in the CHL and the WHL,” said Huska, a father of three. “My family also loves it here, so that was a factor, too.” In Huska, Bruce Hamilton said the Rockets are

quality person and he has surrounded himself with a quality coaching staff that are working their way to being in position to move up as coaches.” Huska and the Rock-

ets continue training camp this week at Prospera Place with practices Thursday and Friday. Kelowna will open up the WHL exhibition season this weekend, hosting

the Kamloops Blazers on Friday night at Prospera Place and playing in Vancouver on Saturday. The Rockets home opener is set for Sept. 21 at Prospera Place.

The 31st edition of the Ensign Cup provided its share of bumps, laughs, good-natured ribbing and even some late drama Saturday afternoon on the Parkinson Rec Centre fields. The annual charity match between the over30s and under-30s squads came down the dying seconds before finally ending in a 26-26 draw. The ‘Old Guys’ as the over-30s are also known, still hold a slim lead in the all-time series—14 wins to 13, with four games ending in ties. “It was fantastic, there was suspense right to the end,” said Rusty Ensign. “The tie also means the young guys are undefeated in four straight games, so they’ve had the upper hand lately.” With more than 200 fans on hand to watch and about 45 players suiting up for the two teams, Ensign said there were accusations of both lying and cheating from the two sides during the game, but it was, of course, “all in good fun.” Ensign directed special recognition George Curran’s way for being the only player over 50 years old to suit up for the match. Now a longstanding tradition in Kelowna, Ensign said the annual event continues to bring people together.

Warriors’ Firkus commits to NCAA program Opening the door to future on-ice opportunities for their players continues to be a strong suit for the BCHL’s West Kelowna Warriors. The first NCAA commitment of the 2013-14 season came on Monday, when Ambrose Firkus announced his intention to play for the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Warriors’ secondyear forward turned heads last year, when he put up 20 points in 31 games as a rookie, adding another 9 points and providing a dangerous offensive threat in the post-season. The native of Irma, Alta. native will join the Nanooks for the 2014-15 season. “I’ve been talking to

Ambrose Firkus Dallas (Ferguson) for a few years now—he knows my strengths and he knows my weaknesses” Firkus says. “He’s just going to put me in there and let me do my thing. He’s not going to try and change me too much.” Firkus also says he’s been hearing positive things from former West

Kelowna teammates Shawn Hochhausen and Marcus Basara, both of whom have just arrived in Fairbanks for their freshman season of Div.

and emerged victorious over Ryan Thain and Matt Bonshor 22-20 and 21-13. In the final, March and Finn were pitted against Team Ontario, the favourites and only undefeated team in the U21 tournament. The underdog Kelowna pair responded with wins of 21-15 and 21-17 to capture their first national championship gold medal. “We weren’t expected to win, there was no pressure on us, so we just came out swinging,” said March, 20. “We played disciplined, played loose and got lucky. Our heart was in it all the way, and it was great to come out with gold.” March is a graduate of OKM, while Finn played his high school volleyball at Mt. Boucherie. Meanwhile, the topranked B.C. team and third in Canada going into

nationals, Quinci Birker and Thana Fayad, both 15, joined forces this season and had immediate success, including winning the higher U16 girls provincial title. At nationals, the B.C. pair went undefeated in pool play, then 3-0 in power pool play to head into the playoffs without a defeat. In the round of 16, Birker and Fayad took down the B.C. duo of Dufour and Attieh 21-14 and 21-17, then ousted Manitoba in straight sets in the quarterfinals. In the semi-finals, Birker/Fayad rolled over the duo of Nini Breukels and Tamara Clarke 21-14 and 21-11. In the final, Birker and Fayad had to fight from behind against Tessa Neil and Darby Dunn after losing the first set 21-13. In the second set, as Fayad served, hit and blocked hard, Birker dug

every ball hit her way and showed her beach prowess with numerous superb crafty plays at the net. Birker/Fayad won the second set 21-16, setting up a tiebreaker. In the deciding set, Birker/Fayad got an early lead and maintained a three-point cushion until the Dunn/Neil duo pushed back to make it a one point game at 10-9. But Birker/Fayad regrouped for a final push and clinched the win and gold medal with a 15-12 victory. Results for the other local players: U16 girls Natalie Livingston and Lama Hammouda tied for fifth; U18 girls Jenna Ratzlaff and Amanda Hardy tied for ninth; senior div. 1 Tammy Thomas and Kumi Chow (Vancouver) tied for fifth; U21 Liam Birker and Zach Grigg tied for fifth, while Isaac Smit and Devon Cote tied for ninth.

Three golds and a silver for Ogo’s Huber in Coquitlam The Kelowna Ogopogo summer swim club capped off its competitive season with a strong performance earlier this month in Coquitlam. Thirty-one Ogopogo swimmers competed for three days at the annual BCSSA provincial championships at the pinnacle of their summer competitive season. “At this competition, we are swimming against elite swimmers from all over the province,” said coach Lucas Stringer. “I think our swimmers proved they have every right to be there swimming against them.” The Ogos took in 11 individual medals, six team relay medals, took part in four medalling regional relays as well as almost every swimmer placing in top 16 finals. “We haven’t had numbers like that at a provincial meet in years,” said Lucas. “That really is a testament to how immensely talented these kids are.” Leading the charge for the Ogopogos was Division 1’s Flyn Huber, with a very impressive four individual in Division 1 boy’s category, earning gold in the 100 meter Individual Medley, the 50 meter backstroke and the 50 meter breaststroke. In addition, he finished with a close silver medal in the

50 meter freestyle event. In each of his events he shaved seconds off of his best times, smashing the Ogopogo club records. To top off an outstand-

ing meet, Flyn led the Div. 1 boy’s 200 meter regional relay team to a convincing gold medal finish. In the Ocat 2 division, Kyra McNulty also found

success, with a secondplace finish in the 50 meter freestyle, and the 100 meter backstroke. In See Swim A24

THE ARTIST’S Garden Project: Kyle Zsombor: A Green Desire in the Rotary Courtyard at the Kelowna Art Gallery until spring.

KELOWNA ART GALLERY

Severe space transformed with a profusion of life

hen is a garden not a garden? Why, when it is a work of art of course. And this was the precise challenge given to local artist and UBCO graduate Kyle Zsombor: Take the empty and rather severe inner courtyard space of the Kelowna Art Gallery and turn it into some kind of planted paradise. As an installation artist keen to explore viewers’ experiences of spaces, and an avid gar-

• Kelowna • Penticton • Salmon Arm • Valleyview • Rutland • West Kelowna • Vernon • North Kamloops • Sahali

wanted to create a vertical garden, sometimes called a living wall—the first of its kind in Kelowna. Basically this is a hydroponic way of growing plants, that is, without soil. The plants root into a damp fabric on a support and thrive on nutrients pumped into the water supply. Zsombor decided to also make a planted arbour in the centre of the space (called the Rotary Courtyard) using

lengths of PVC pipe as his columns, which have been planted with various flowering plants along with ever-bearing strawberries. These three-dimensional pieces help define the space of the courtyard against the backdrop of his “canvas,” which is about 20 by 20 feet in size. Gardening is a human activity—it is not known whether agriculture as such is practiced by any animals. As a pursuit, gardening has its own his-

tory, closely linked to changes in philosophy and science over the ages, and in different parts of the world. Viewers can muse upon this special lens onto human history as they wander around the courtyard garden, or sit on the chairs placed there for their relaxation. Normally the Kelowna Art Gallery produces a printed publication for each of its exhibitions, but in this case it was decided to create a web-based publication, so that new

photographs of the garden could keep being added as the plants grew and flowered. There is a curatorial text as a part of this site that goes into the history of human thought as it has applied itself to gardens. This installation is the first in a series of installations collectively called The Artist’s Garden Project. Each artist commissioned to work in the space will be given a full year for their work. In this way each artist has all

four seasons to consider in creating their piece. So Kyle Zsombor’s A Green Desire will be in place until the spring of 2014, when another artist will be invited to transform the space once again.

ato I have had since Italy, he offers a great variety of flavours. Eat it there or take it home to serve to guests. (I recently served the lime gelato with my homemade rhubarb pie for dessert—yum.) Gio introduced me to something new: an Affogato, which literally means “drowned” in Italian. A scoop of hazelnut gelato is topped with a steaming shot of espresso that causes the gelato to melt or drown. Oh mio dio. It is so delizioso you will die (not really but close). It’s at 1320 Water St. where all the cool looking people are sitting on the patio Euro style. ••• Speaking of our local coffee scene, congratulations to my friends Al and Amy Lang, owners of the new Central Bean Scene in the Capri Mall, who have now purchased Bean Scene HQ on Dickson Avenue. Former owners and the Bean Scene brand’s loving parents, Deb Synnot and John Anderson will continue as owners and operators of the roastery and bakery.

AS Sesame Street used to sing “Who are the people in your neighbourhood.” They are the people you meet as they deliver their local products to our Urban Fare. Local suppliers (l-r) sweet corn farmer Ben Davidson, pastry chef/chocolatier Sandrine Martin-Raffault, Little Creek Salad Dressing creator Donna Denison, Urban Fare store manager Todd Henry, baker Monika Walker, Poppadom’s chef/samosa maker Jas Dosanj, Tantalus winemaker David Paterson, Chipotle Chinook Sauce boss Chris Cooksey. At 900-squarefeet its just up the street from RauDZ and chef Butters jokes that the space is so small that “we don’t even capitalize the ‘m’ of micro.” The new venture’s PR company Spatula Media explains the venue further: “The European flavor will extend to the glassware at micro with beer, cocktails and wine served in simple tumblers. No fancy stemware here. The creatively simple approach of micro. bar.bites continues with a pared down bar and food menu, and the launch of barrel-aged cocktails, with international beers

and wines all offer guests a fresh experience. Chef Butters is already playing with unique twists on his simple small bites menu.” We can’t wait—www. raudz.com. ••• When celebrating at home this summer, be sure to support local and shop at our local farmers market (Kelowna Wednesday and Saturday)— and, when that is not possible, our local Urban Fare is the next best thing. They are huge supporters of our local farmers and artisans and carry a huge array of local produce and products. Did you know they

also carry Monika’s bread and baguettes (Okanagan Grocery Artisan Breads) and a delectable array of Sandrine’s chocolates, cakes and desserts They also have local cheese, crackers, preserves, pizza shells—and my favourite chicken farmer Sterling Chicken’s products fresh in the meat counter. Stay tuned for a mini Farmers Market event at Urban Fare this Sept. 7 and 8 outside where you will be able to shop and meet many of their suppliers. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

Stories from volunteer front lines Dawn Wilkinson COLUMNIST

I was reviewing feedback from last year’s volunteer fair and a sense of pride washed over me. Yes! People in our community get it. Many, many are committed to making our corner of the world a better place. Here is a snapshot of the comments that got me thinking. “Volunteering? That is who I am, a volunteer,” said Paul DeMay. Joy Kutcher attended the very first volunteer fair, volunteered with Lioness and has been active ever since.

Carol Fazekas attended for the first time in 2011. “I needed something outside work to make new connections. It was a bright sunny day at about 2 p.m. and I ran around and found several organizations that caught my interest before it closed. “I went home and thought about our conversations; where my skills would be most useful. I’m a doer. I like to jump in. ESS and MADD are a good combination for me,” concluded Carol.

Angus from Pets and People told me the story about taking his dog to Kelowna General Hospital and visiting a former RCMP member who worked with the K9 Unit. “It was magical,” enthused Angus. “This is like ‘Old Home Week.’ It’s all about the networking,” offerd Christina MacMaster. Penny’s husband had surgery and needed a wheelchair so they got it from the Red Cross. She learned that a friend of theirs volunteered to fix the equipment. “Hey,” the friend said, “you know how to do this stuff, you should volun-

teer here. You’d be good at it. Why not join us?” So her husband started volunteering and so did Penny. That was five years ago. What’s your story? If you are looking for fresh ideas about getting involved, join us at the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair, Saturday, Sept. 7, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Parkinson Recreation Centre, Kelowna.

Obituaries PEACE, DON

On August 22nd a very, very nice man went home after a short, but very painful battle with cancer. Don Peace was just shy of his 78th birthday. Don was born in Calgary on August 27th, 1935. He is survived by his loving wife Verna just short of 55 years. Don was predeceased by his parents Basil and Mabel Peace, of Beaverlodge, AB. Don has a surviving brother Brian (Melba), 4 children Dwayne (Jacqueline), Bob (Wendy), Diane (Ted) and Dan (Helen) and 13 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins & uncle. Don was involved in highway trucking all his life. He started at the age of 5 when he made himself a little wooden truck that went up and down the dirt roads that he had carved out in his backyard. Don trucked for some of the largest trucking firms in Canada and travelled West to East, the Alaska Highway and into the U.S. His last main trucking company that he worked for was Berry & Smith out of Penticton. Don retired from the trucking business in 2004 after open heart surgery. There will be a drop in Celebration of Life at his daughter and son-in-laws home on Saturday, August 31st at 1:00 5:00, 11027 Eva Road, Lake Country, BC.

MATHERS, ELLEN On the wings of her family’s love, Ellen Mathers was carried gently into glory just as the sun set on Sunday, August 24, 2013. Born Ellen Campbell on April 21, 1928 in Lachine, Quebec, she married Jim White in 1948. Jim would often reminisce about his fruit-picking summer in the Okanagan Valley. Finally, with a packed-to-the-rafters van and six children in tow, the White family headed west to Kelowna in 1964, settling way out in the boonies, at DeHart and Paret Road (now Gordon Dr.) Jim and Ellen carried in their hearts the tragic loss of three beloved children: infant son Gordon, son Ken and daughter June. Jim predeceased Ellen in 1980. Holding Ellen forever in their hearts are her devoted husband, Budd Mathers; and four grown children – Lorne (Theresa) White, Linda (Wayne) Danforth, Jim (Betty-Anne) White and Chris (Lisa) White. Ellen was also a loving mom to grandson Chris Mazur. Grandma White-Mathers baked countless birthday cakes - and left indelible fingerprints of love - on the hearts of 14 grandchildren (Chris, Lara, Erin, Stephen, Anna, Bethany, Jeffrey, Heather, Michael, Darren, Robbie, Shay, Bobbi and Li) and 21 great-grandchildren. Ellen lived her life simply, with determination to always be on time and to finish what she started, including the Kelowna Across the Lake Swim just months after enduring cancer surgery and treatment. She was rich in all the ways that count, gaining true and lasting treasure in family and friends. She lived for those she loved - and those she loved remember. Her family thanks the caregivers at Sutherland Hills Rest Home for their many kindnesses. Friends are warmly invited to an informal celebration of Ellen’s life, well-lived to the finish line, 10 am Saturday (August 31) at the reception room of Springfield Funeral Home. Friends, in lieu of flowers, you may wish to send a gift in Ellen’s memory to the Kelowna Branch of JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) or a charity of your choice. That would make her smile! Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Tax help for students touted by MP Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan is reminding students returning to school to take full advantage of the important financial relief available to them. In 2012, students and their families claimed more than $11 billion in financial assistance. He said the federal government is committed to supporting Canadian families by keeping taxes low. “We are pleased to help students and their families with tax breaks to help them stretch their dollars further as they gear up for the return to school,” said Cannan. Several programs offer tax relief to students who enrol in post-secondary education: Students can claim tuition fees paid to a university, college, or other educational institution in Canada, for courses taken at the post-secondary level. Tuition fees paid for courses certified by Em-

Ron Canan ployment and Social Development Canada to develop or improve skills in an occupation also qualify. Students can also claim an education amount of $400 for each whole, or part, month in the year in which they are enrolled full-time in a qualifying educational program, or $120 per month for part-time enrolment in a specified educational program, at a designated educational institution. In addition, students can claim a textbook amount of $65 for each

month where they qualify for the full-time education amount or $20 for each part-time month. “As a parent who has a daughter entering her fourth year of business studies, I would like to remind parents and students, they should keep their receipts in order to claim tax credits when filing their return during tax season and take advantage of the important financial relief available to them all year long,” said Cannan. In addition to the tax credits, students may be eligible for the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax credit—a taxfree quarterly payment that helps individuals and families with low or modest incomes offset all or part of the GST or HST that they pay. They may also claim a deduction for their moving expenses if they moved to study as a fulltime student enrolled in a post-secondary program

at a university, a college, or another educational institution. Students may be able to claim amounts for interest paid on their student loans and they may also be eligible to claim the public transit tax credit for the cost of their public transit passes for travel within Canada on public transit. For more information on tax credits and benefits for students, and other information specifically for students, go to www.cra. gc.ca/students on the Canada Revenue Agency’s website. The CRA encourages Canadians to take advantage of its safe, secure and convenient electronic services to file their returns. According to the CRA, in most cases, with direct deposit, individuals can receive their refund in as little as eight business days, compared to four to six weeks for a paper return.

Is geoengineering a silver bullet for climate change problem?

ltering environments to suit our needs is not new. From clearing land to building dams, we’ve done it throughout history. When our technologies and populations were limited, our actions affected small areas—though with some cascading effects on interconnected ecosystems. We’ve now entered an era in which humans are a geological force. According to the web-

which elements like carbon and nitrogen circulate between land, sea and atmosphere. We’re changing the way water moves around the globe as never before. Almost all the planet’s ecosystems bear the marks of our presence.” One of our greatest impacts is global warming, fuelled by massive increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide from burning oil, coal and gas. Thanks in part to

self-preserving industrialists, complicit governments and deluded deniers, we’ve failed to take meaningful action to address the problem, even though we’ve known about it for decades. Many now argue the best way to protect humanity from the worst effects is to further alter Earth’s natural systems through geoengineering. Geoengineering to combat climate change is largely untested.

Because we’ve stalled so long on reducing carbon emissions and still aren’t doing enough, we may have to consider it. What will that mean? As it relates to climate change, geoengineering falls into two categories: solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal. The former involves reflecting solar radiation back into space. The latter is aimed at removing carbon dioxide from the

atmosphere and storing it. Solar radiation management includes schemes such as releasing sulphur aerosols into the atmosphere to scatter sunlight and reduce radiation, creating or whitening clouds by spraying seawater or other materials into the air, and even installing giant reflectors in space. These methods don’t affect CO2 levels and so don’t address issues like ocean acidification, but they offer possible quick fixes to reduce warming. An example of carbon removal is fertilizing oceans with iron. Iron stimulates growth of small algae called phytoplankton, which remove carbon dioxide from the sea and release oxygen through photosynthesis. This allows the oceans to absorb additional CO2 from the atmosphere. When the plankton die and sink to the ocean floor, they become buried under other materials, storing the carbon within them. The Alberta and federal governments have spent billions on their favoured carbon-reduction method, carbon capture and storage—trapping CO2 released by burning fossil fuels and pumping it into the ground—but this method has yet to be perfected. Many schemes are controversial and have shown mixed results in tests, and the danger of unintended consequences is real, including further catastrophic, irreversible damage to the climate system. One major drawback with geoengineering is the mistaken idea that it can be a substitute for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause cli-

mate change. That many geoengineering projects are fraught with danger and would not resolve the problem quickly enough or even effectively—and would do little or nothing to resolve other fossil fuel problems such as pollution—makes this a critical concern. There’s also the matter of who would decide what methods to apply and when and where. The issue of “rogue” geoengineering has also cropped up in my part of the world, when an American businessman working with the Haida village of Old Massett dumped 100 tonnes of iron sulphate into the ocean in 2012 for a salmon restoration and carbon-reduction project. A U.K. Royal Society study concludes that geoengineering “should only be considered as part of a wider package of options for addressing climate change” and carbon dioxide reduction meth- ▼ ods should be preferred over more unpredictable solar radiation management. Scientists at the Berlin Social Science Research Centre suggest creating “as new international climate p engineering agency…to t coordinate countries’ ef- r forts and manage research c funding.” Because some geoengineering is like- c ly unavoidable, that’s a w good idea. But rather than p C rationalizing our continued use of fossil fuels p in the false belief that technology will enable us l to carry on with our de- t structive ways, we really a need governments, scien- i tists and industry to start t taking climate change and L greenhouse gas emissions B seriously. We can’t just t engineer our way out of s 9 the problem.

B.C. housing affordability worsens says RBC report Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The cost of owning a standard detached bungalow in Vancouver now devours 82 per cent of a typical household’s income. In B.C. as a whole it’s now 67.6 per cent for bungalows, 72.8 for two-storey homes and 33.8 for condos. These calculations, from RBC Economics Research, are among the findings in its recent hous-

ing trends report showing home affordability has taken a hit in B.C. in recent months. RBC’s home affordability measure compares home ownership costs—mortgage payments, utilities and taxes—to median pretax household income. Despite the recent increase in prices, home ownership costs in B.C. are still lower than a year ago, due to a nearly twoyear cooling stretch in the real estate market.

▼ MP’S REPORT

Okanagan-Coquihalla MP says he’s staying where he is

Dan Albas ibility to determine riding boundaries that adhere, as strictly as possible, to the principle of representation by population. This is a very challenging task. In adhering to these guidelines, often regional and geographical concerns may become secondary to keeping the population within each of the ridings approximately equal. From the federal perspective, the riding boundaries are reviewed once every 10 years and, I

believe, eight years at the provincial level. Those of you who follow federal politics closely will be aware that the current electoral boundaries have been under review for the past year. The first draft of proposed new boundaries released in 2012 generated a significant amount of local opposition, both in the riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla and more so in the riding of B.C. Southern Interior. Last week, the final report on our new electoral boundaries for the next federal election was released and while some minor changes have been made from the preliminary proposed boundaries, I expect those changes will not be to the extent that many were looking for. Although a full summary is available online at the federal redistribution website, I will summarize

some of the more significant changes. The current B.C. Southern Interior riding, represented by NDP MP Alex Atamanenko, is by far the most impacted by the new boundaries. The communities of Rossland, Trail and Castlegar would no longer be in the riding with nearby Nelson. Instead, they will be in a new riding identified as South Okanagan-West Kootenay. Also in this new riding would be the communities of Oliver, Osoyoos, and most notably Penticton. But it doesnot include Summerland, Keremeos or Princeton. For my riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla, the commission has largely left the riding intact, with West Kelowna, Merritt, Logan Lake, Summerland and Peachland still part of the riding that will be renamed Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nic-

ola. Obviously the largest change is that Penticton will be removed from this riding and Keremeos, Princeton and a portion of Kelowna will be added. Although some communities will be supportive of these changes, from what I heard when I attended the public input session, and from speaking with various local government leaders and residents, I am expecting that the majority will be opposed. From a political perspective, given the change in boundaries, another question that may arise is in which riding will an incumbent MP run assuming they stand for re-election? In my case I have already had this question from a number of local reporters and while I be-

lieve this issue is of little significance at this point, given the next election is still a long way away, I also believe residents deserve candid and timely answers from elected officials. From my perspective, Okanagan-Coquihalla is a large and very diverse riding and I have spent the past few years becoming familiar with many important community issues, as well as building relationships with community leaders. The vast majority of those leaders will remain within the new riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola. Given the importance of knowing local challenges and the need to build strong community relationships to help resolve them, representing a familiar riding and working

with community leaders you know, is, in my view, the way an MP can be most effective. In my case that would be Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola. Having said that, it is also important to recognize that these new boundaries do not come into effect until the next federal election and at the moment there are many projects and priorities in Okanagan-Coquihalla that we must collectively continue to pursue. I welcome your comments on this or any topic and can be reached tollfree at 1-800-665-8711or via email at dan.albas@ parl.gc.ca Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla.

Record reservations in BC Parks

An exceptionally sunny, dry summer helped push BC Parks to an alltime record number of reservations at provincial campgrounds. More than 115,000 camping reservations were made through the province’s Discover Camping service, up 12 per cent from last year. Campers were allowed to make reservations at more campsites and campgrounds, including Kleanza Creek, Martha Creek, Chilliwack Lake, Mable Lake and Bowron Lake, increasing the number of reservable sites to more than 5,000 at 95 parks. While Labour Day is the traditional end to the

A new, $735,000 packing line at the Winfield apple packinghouse will bring costs for Okanagan apple growers in line with its chief competitors in Washington State. Those were the thoughts of Alan Tyabji, the chief executive officer of the B.C. Tree Fruit Cooperative after a public announcement and unveiling of a new apple packing line in Winfield. “We had antiquated equipment and we needed help,” said Tyajbi. “The reality is with the changes this line will bring, not only is it easier to grade our fruit but the fruit that comes out the other end is so much cleaner that it reduces costs as well.” Together with cherries, Okanagan apples make up 80 per cent of the tree fruit industry in the Okanagan. But the industry has been lagging behind places like Washington State when it comes to technological improvements. The aging packinghouse in Winfield was a prime example. Tyabji said this invest-

Did you know that the Arrowleaf Balsamroot, aka the Okanagan sunflower, is the official flower of Kelowna? The Okanagan sunflower thrives particularly well in the Kelow-

skies and the hot summer climate. Birthdays of the week: Mark Rogers, (Aug. 3); Fran Houston (Sept. 1); Valaura Vedan, KelownaNow.com (Sept. 2); Debbie MacKinnon (Sept. 2); Mayor Walter Gray (Sept. 4); Ione

t a s e m i T n u Changes coming to federal ridings F $ 99 D 3 NEWS

epending on your level of political interest, you may or may not be aware that federally, much like provincially, our various regions are divided up into what are called ridings. A provincial riding, is represented by an MLA and a federal riding is represented by an MP. But it is the boundaries of the ridings that determine which communities and geographical areas exist within a particular riding. As growth can occur in some regions faster or more slowly than in others, from time to time the boundaries are reviewed and reconfigured to reflect population changes. In Canada we use a “representation by population” model when establishing riding boundaries. An independent, non-partisan Federal electoral boundary commission has the responsibility to determine riding boundaries that adhere, as strictly as possible, to the principle of representation by population. This is a very challenging task. In adhering to these guidelines, often regional and geographical concerns may become secondary to keeping the population within each of the ridings approximately equal. From the federal perspective, the riding boundaries are reviewed once every 10 years and, I believe, eight years at the provincial level. Those of you who follow federal politics closely will be aware that the current electoral boundaries have been under review for the past year. The first draft of proposed new boundaries released in 2012 generated a significant amount of local opposition, both in the riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla and more so in the riding of B.C. Southern Interior. Last week, the final report on our new electoral boundaries for the next federal election was released and while some

Dan Albas minor changes have been made from the preliminary proposed boundaries, I expect those changes will not be to the extent that many were looking for. Although a full summary is available online at the federal redistribution website, I will summarize some of the more significant changes. The current B.C. Southern Interior riding, represented by NDP MP Alex Atamanenko, is by far the most impacted by the new boundaries. The communities of Rossland, Trail and Castlegar would no longer be in the riding with nearby Nelson. Instead, they will be in a new riding identified as South Okanagan-West Kootenay. Also in this

new riding would be the communities of Oliver, Osoyoos, and most notably Penticton. But it doesnot include Summerland, Keremeos or Princeton. For my riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla, the commission has largely left the riding intact, with West Kelowna, Merritt, Logan Lake, Summerland and Peachland still part of the riding that will be renamed Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola. Obviously the largest change is that Penticton will be removed from this riding and Keremeos, Princeton and a portion of Kelowna will be added. Although some communities will be supportive of these changes, from what I heard I am expecting that the majority will be opposed. From a political perspective, given the change in boundaries, another question that may arise is in which riding will an incumbent MP run? While I believe this issue is of little significance at this point, given the next election is still a long way away, I also be-

lieve residents deserve candid and timely answers from elected officials. Given the importance of knowing local challenges and the need to build strong community relationships to help resolve them, representing a familiar riding and working with community leaders you know, is, in my view, the way an MP can be most effective. At the moment there are many projects and priorities in Okanagan-Coquihalla that we must collectively continue to pursue. Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla.
