Financial loss of Canada Post service contract tagged at $1 billion

Students build to benefit food bank

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna Flightcraft confirmed Wednesday the loss of a high-profile contract worth an estimated $1 billion. “Since 1977 we have been a key supplier of dedicated and reliable air service for Purolator and, more recently, Canada Post,” said Tracy Medve, Kelowna Flightcraft’s president. “While their decision (to change carriers) is disappointing, particularly in light of the 99 per cent reliability we currently provide, it is by no means the end of Kelowna Flightcraft.” The Canada Post contract was awarded to Mississauga Ontario-based competitor Cargojet which, in a press release, …IT IS BY NO pegged contract revenues MEANS THE END at approximately $1 bilOF KELOWNA lion during the initial sevFLIGHTCRAFT. en-year agreement, based on projected volumes. Tracy Medve, Their stock values president rose 22 per cent as news of the contract that begins in March 2015 was released. Dollar losses aren’t something Flightcraft management is willing to discuss just yet. Grant Stevens, Flightcraft’s director of human resources, said they still have 13 months to finish off the current contract, while working toward replacing lost business with something just as lucrative. “As we look at the forecast moving forward, and listen to all the talk on LNG, we can see that there’s demand for heavy lift (services) to the north,” said Stevens. “That may be an opportunity for us.” If they can’t replace the contract, however, the company could change significantly. Most notably, a fleet of 18 airplanes will be grounded.

For Grade 8 social justice students from Glenrosa Middle School, nothing is quite as Canadian as a cup of Tim Hortons coffee. So, when the students learned the theme of Canstruction Kelowna 2014 is all things Canadian, it didn’t take long for them to decide what they would build. Earlier this week, the GMS students were one of seven teams stacking cans and other non-perishable food items as part of Canstruction Kelowna 2014 in Orchard Park Shopping Centre. “It’s a unique event,” said Lenetta Parry, executive director of the Kelowna and Westside Community Food Banks. “It’s a great way to raise food, funds and awareness and shine a spotlight on hunger in a unique way.” The annual event is being put on by the Rotary Club of Kelowna, SaveOn-Foods, the Rotary Club of Kelowna Foundation, Kelowna Community Food Bank, Westside Community Food Bank and Kelowna Salvation Army.

BROOKSIDE Residences tenant Kathy Taylor displays her new energy efficient fridge.

Donation of fridges save energy for low income seniors Barry Gerding EDITOR

Kathy Taylor was all smiles on Wednesday morning as she opened her doors to the delivery of a new fridge. Taylor is one of the residents in a 43-unit housing complex called Brookside Residences, on Mountain View Street in Kelowna, who all received a new fridge. The Orchard Park Senior Housing Society, which operates Brookside Residences, a low income housing complex for seniors, was the beneficiary of the fridges, a joint initiative between FortisBC and the provincial government. Nicole Bogdanovic, spokesperson for FortisBC, said the project cost about $125,000 split between the private utility and the ministry of energy and mines. This is the 21st installation of new fridges in non-profit multi-

was just over 600 kilowatt hours per year and are now closer to 400 kilowatt hours per year. That’s a 30 per cent reduction in annual power.” Bogdanovic said that means a savings to the Orchard Park Senior Housing Society of anywhere from $50 to $200 per housing unit, as the tenants only pay a flat monthly rental rate. “I think the society at some point would like to replace the stoves in each unit as well because they are getting old as well, so the money saved on energy costs to operate the fridges can help pay for that down the road,” she said. She said the program is a reflection of how finding the money to upgrade energy efficiency of items like fridges and stoves can be a challenge, particularly for residents living on low or fixed incomes. So for FortisBC and the province to come together on this project and others like it helps meet a demand to lower energy consumption. Bogdanovic added that FortisBC’s PowerSense group also equipped each Brookside Residences unit with high-efficiency light bulbs, low-flow shower heads and sink aerators to further promote energy cost savings. But for Taylor, she was all smiles in opening her new fridge up to the visiting media on Wednesday. “This is a beautiful place to live,” said Taylor, who has resided at Brookside Residences for the last four years in the bachelor suite unit, as the old fridge was carted out of her apartment. “But I am really going to enjoy having a new fridge.”

Two Kelowna residents arrested in Alberta with cache of guns, drugs Two Kelowna residents were arrested this week in Canmore, allegedly packing a significant cache of drugs and weapons. According to Canmore RCMP, at about 1 a.m. on Feb. 13, one of

their officers observed a black Honda Civic driving erratically on the Trans-Canada Highway just east of Canmore. “Police stopped the vehicle, and found that the driver did not have a valid driver’s licence,”

said Canmore RCMP Sgt. Ryan Currie in a press release. “Upon speaking with the driver and his passenger, the driver admitted to having, and produced a small amount of marijuana. The driver and passenger were arrested

without incident.” A subsequent search of the vehicle, allegedly uncovered about 20 pounds of marijuana, five grams of cocaine, two long barrelled firearms, one handgun, an extendable baton, ammunition

and loaded magazines for firearms, assorted edged weapons and cash. Arrested at the scene, and subsequently charged with drug and weapons offences, were Kelowna residents Stephen McManus, 22, and Vanessa

Flavin, 18. “Organized crime groups use funds obtained through the sale of marijuana to fund other illegal activities which pose a threat to our continued health and well being,” said Currie. “Marijuana trafficking

harms communities. “Wherever it exists, there’s the potential for an increase in criminal activity and a greater chance of violence on top of additional economic costs and other health and safety risks.”

a warm bed…but many we are serving don’t have that option, and that hits home.” The Gospel Mission will donate the funds raised to several of its programs. Among those programs is the mission’s women’s emergency service shelter. In August, Catriona said, the shelter will mark its third anniversary. It opened with a partnership between the Gospel Mission and NOW Canada which still continues, and has resulted in 10 emergency beds for women. “It’s really well used,” said Catriona. “For many years there was a greater need for men’s emergency shelters. But as the city evolved, it became apparent that there really was a need for more emergency beds for women.” Catriona explained

that historically, when women got themselves into a “tricky situation,” they’d find shelter at the risk of their own safety, like in a harmful relationship or unsafe environment. When the city developed services to help women out of harmful situations, it became clear that a corresponding, temporary service of safe harbour was also needed. So funds from the walk will help support that endeavour. Also assisted will be the Gospel Mission’s dental clinic, which helps everyone from children to seniors who don’t have the means to foot the bill for dental work. The walk begins and ends at the French Cultural Centre, 702 Bernard Ave., on Feb 22. Registration is at 4 p.m. and the walk begins at 5:15 p.m.

Councillor questions art commission going to U.S. artist Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

A Kelowna city councillor concerned about awarding a major local public art commission to an American artist has been told protectionism here will only hurt local artists when they try to land commissions else-

where. Coun. Mohini Singh raised her concerns about Seattle artist Susan Zocolla winning the $60,000 commission to produce art that will cover parts of the yet-to-be expanded library parkade downtown. Singh said while she has changed her mind about limiting such public

Can building creations assist local food banks Build from A1 while learning the importance of giving back and building school spirit.” Parry said many of the participants see Canstruction Kelowna as a great team-building exercise. “We have lots of businesses, schools and social clubs coming together to make up the teams,” said Parry. “They do everything from work with an architect, to design their structure, while taking everything into account.” Other structures built this year include a Terry Fox mural and a giant Canadian flag. Parry said the theme was chosen to celebrate the Winter Olympics, currently taking place in Sochi, Russia. All of the cans and non-perishable food items used in this year’s structures were donated by Save-On-Foods. “There are over 18,000 cans of food that will be shipped to the local food banks,” said

Parry. “So it will make a huge difference this time of year to help us fill our shelves.” Kelowna Canstruction 2014 is the fifth annual event. The Canstruction concept is an international competition that has raised over 21 million pounds of food since 1992 and takes place in 150 cities throughout the world, according to Parry. “At the end of the day, the food banks are the real winners in all of this.” The structures will be judged Thursday evening and will remain on display in Orchard Park Shopping Centre’s Sky Court and Apple Court until Feb. 23. Non-perishable food items and financial donations will be accepted at the mall during that time. After that, the food items used will be donated to the Kelowna Food Bank, the Westside Community Food Bank and the Kelowna Salvation Army.

commissions to only local artists and now says it’s OK for the work to go to artists from any part of the country, she still wants to know why the city chose an artist from a different country. She was told Zocolla’s proposal was the one chosen by the adjudicators who handle public art commissions for the city. But city manager Ron Mattiussi also weighed in saying Kelowna cannot restrict who is allowed to

apply for local commissions and, even if it could, it should not. He said if artists from out of town, out of the province or even out of the country were not allowed to compete for commissions here, local artists may find themselves faced with the same restrictions elsewhere. He pointed to the fact some local artists have been very successful at winning commissions in the past in other parts of

Locally, Stevens said the losses will be less significant as the company is fairly well diversified with its third-party maintenance and flight training divisions. “We have about 15 flight operations support staff in Kelowna that are at risk if we aren’t able to replace the work,” Stevens said. But, he’s confident those jobs will stay in the area. “In our 44-year history, it’s not unusual in aviation to lose a contract and bounce back,” he said. “We’ve lost one before with Purloator and Greyhound….

Narynskyyi said he applied his marketing background to help non-profit groups last year. “It felt good to apply my skills not just to a potential client but to see how it could benefit Kelowna as a community was also pretty cool.” GenNext member Lauren Elise was a participant in last year’s event as a volunteer and plans to take part again in this

week’s recruiting session. Elise said her interest in volunteering was first nurtured when she enrolled at Okanagan College by getting involved with Enactus, a non-profit student run organization that develops and implements projects in local communities that improve the quality of life and standard of living across the region. “I feel that volunteering is something there is not enough of in our communities,” said Elise. “When you get a group of people all with the same energy of wanting to help, you feed off each other and it becomes

contagious.” While Elise admits there is a cynical stigma that comes with volunteering, of doing something for no fiscal return, she argues a person often gets more personal satisfaction from volunteering than from a paying job. She said life is about more than just making money, that finding inner happiness and leading a healthier, longer life also involves what you do away from the office to help yourself and your community. bgerding @kelownacapnews.com

▼ DRAGONS’ DEN AUDITION

Pitching best business ideas

Kathy Michaels sSTAFF REPORTER a - Corey Jmaeff and Shawn Wu-drich are passionate about the out,doors, hunting and beer. n It’s a combination a lot of -people take an interest in, although gfew would put their day jobs on the back-burner for them. t The Kelowna duo, however, are glearning that following one’s pas-sion may just be the key to success. - Around 11 months ago they estarted producing a lager called Bone Beer, which is marketed to epeople who share their love for the rsimpler things in life. “Some of our best memories are going outdoors…fishing and hiking,” said Wudrich. “And then the best part of the day is sitting around the campfire.” If it sounds a bit rednecky, that’s OK. Wudrich said there’s no better time to be a redneck than now, thanks to TV programs like Duck Dynasty. Hunting licences in B.C. have risen for the first time since the ’80s, and those kinds of stats go hand-in-

hand with Bone Beer sales. Since starting production at the old Hiram Walker site last year, 260,000 cans of Bone Beer have been sold. Their cans have been placed in every private beer store in the Okanagan, said Jmaeff, and in five years, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be in every beer store across Canada. “And it’s not just about the beer,” said Wudrich. “It’s also about conservation.” Five per cent of their net profit is dedicated to the BC Wildlife Federation. Listening to the two rattle off stats about dollars, hunting licenses and wildlife funds is both dizzying and compelling, and it seemed to catch the attention of producers with CBC-TV’s Dragons’ Den, who were in Kelowna Wednesday for a one-day recruiting stop. They asked for $150,000 so they could ramp up production, and get into every store, long before the five year deadline. “They asked the right questions and we had the right answers,” said

Jmaeff. Associate producer Priscilla Sreedharan and Richard Maerov were the Dragon’s Den associate producers in Kelowna for the auditions. They gave participants five minutes to pitch their idea for financial backing of their business ventures and an invite to the Dragons’ Den where they’d face the show’s five venture capitalist Dragons. “We want to see energy and passion,” said Sreedharan. Earlier she noted that pitchers have become more savvy as the show has progressed. “Kelowna is one of our busiest stops,” Maerov. He was unclear how many local entrepreneurs have made the cut to the final stages, but said there were a fair number. In the morning, there were several dozen hopefuls lined up. They won’t learn who made the cut for a while just yet, but those who do will have to be prepared to make the trip to the Toronto studio between March 24 and April 17. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

NDP leader visits the Okanagan

Complex Wednesday, and said the turnout bodes well for the party. “It’s an area strongly Conservative but we saw the spirit in the hall,” he said, adding many voters are being turned off by the messages from the Conservatives and the Liberals. “We have a positive message about what can be accomplished together.” As part of preparations for the 2015 federal election, Mulcair said his party is attempting to keep Prime Minister Stephen Harper accountable. “We’ve been taking him on. We’re the first real opposition he’s faced and he’s not enjoying it.” Mulcair said Canadians’ faith in the democratic system has been undermined by the Senate scandal and robocalls, and the Conservatives’ proposed election forms won’t help. “It should be called the rigged elections act,” he said, adding that he wants cross-country hearings on

the legislation. Mulcair also touched on what he sees as a growing financial struggle for Canadians, and particularly many seniors who have to leave retirement and go back to work. “The people who built our country are being told they have to live in abject poverty,” he said, calling for more youth to get engaged in the political decision-making process. “Young people are being left a mass of social, economic and environmental inequalities on their backs.” Instead of shipping oil overseas, Mulcair said the natural resource should be used to create value-added jobs in Canada. During his stop, the issue of Canada Post abandoning door-to-door mail delivery was also raised. Mulcair said Canada Post has run a profit in 17 of 18 years and the Crown corporation should expand into programs like banking instead of cutting

back services.

Researchers delve inside behaviour of criminal predators Ever wonder how the police, or a judge, know when someone is lying to them? There is scientific query behind criminal investigations and UBC researchers are bringing an RCMP expert to campus to explain the science behind lying eyes. UBC Okanagan’s Centre for the Advance-

ment of Psychological Science and Law wants to share what it knows about the art of lying, how to determine a lie, and how to extract the truth. The centre is hosting a full-day workshop with UBC psychology professors Stephen Porter and Mike Woodworth, and retired RCMP staff sergeant Matt Logan.

The workshop takes place Friday, Feb. 28, at UBC Okanagan’s administration building, room ADM 026. However, the day before the workshop, Logan presents a free public lecture, entitled Inside the Mind of a Predator. “This lecture will highlight investigative strategies as well as the as-

UBCO forensic psychologists Michael Woodworth (left) and Stephen Porter. sessment of risk for sexually deviant, violent, and predatory behaviour, while also considering psychopathy and personality disorders,” said Woodworth. While the Thursday, Feb. 27, public lecture is

free, pre-registration is required at http://goo.gl/ zaXFrk. Logan’s lecture begins at 3:30 p.m. in University Theatre, Room ADM 026. While the Friday workshop is meant primarily for criminal justice professionals whose jobs involve assessment, supervision, treatment, and investigation of offenders, it is open for pub-

lic enrolment as well.

Don’t blame winter accidents on bad road conditions C ‘‘ anadian winter conditions cause car crashes. A recent headline makes that point: “Slippery conditions cause several Kelowna crashes.” Here is another: “Icy morning causes minor crashes.” A quick Internet search produced these other recent headlines: “Winter weather conditions cause at least one collision”; “Slippery road conditions around the province have resulted in numerous accidents”; “Ice is also to blame for a rollover.” Recognizing the problem is the first step to recovery. Mother Nature is the culprit, plain and simple. We mobilize expensive sand and gravel contingents to attack this insidious problem of snow packing to make ice and water solidifying as it freezes. Black ice is a particularly nasty culprit because you can’t see it. It’s like when you open up your freezer and pull out the ice cube tray. If you didn’t expect to find cubes, you might not notice them because this particular product of Mother Nature is seethrough. Thank goodness for the help we get from tire manufacturers campaigning for drivers to do the responsible thing and purchase winter tires. Those altruistic, almost charitable organizations promote tires with optimum traction when driving on the stuff over which a curling stone is thrown and hockey is played. Focus on the true problem—those icy surfaces, and solutions, can

Paul Hergott be found. Those who don’t know me might be looking for a bucket to throw up in, not realizing that the words you have just read are dripping with sarcasm. I grew up on a farm that was nine miles east of Melville, a “city” by Saskatchewan standards with a population of about 5,000. When I was 16, I started driving a vehicle that was not equipped with winter tires. Just like when we open the freezer door and are not shocked to find that the water we poured into the ice cube tray has frozen, I grew up expecting that ice would form on the roads during the winter months. I didn’t know exactly where it would form, but I knew enough from the ice cube tray that sometimes I wouldn’t be able to see it. Perhaps my daddy taught me a level of responsibility that isn’t taught except on farms near small towns in Saskatchewan. Instead of blaming winter roads for being icy, I was taught to take responsibility for my own driving. I was taught to continually assess the road surface conditions and to adjust my speed accordingly. It takes being attentive. It takes being constantly aware of the surprising scientific discov-

ery that water can freeze in below zero temperatures and that snow can pack to become ice. You leave more room between your vehicle and the next. When coming up to a curve in the road you slow down to a speed that will maintain traction if the invisible slippery stuff happens to be there. You start slowing for intersections far enough ahead that you can stop, even if a sheet of ice has formed where a multitude of vehicles before you has packed down the snow.

INSTEAD OF BLAMING WINTER ROADS FOR BEING ICY, I WAS TAUGHT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY OWN DRIVING.

We are the problem, not Canadian winters. Recognizing the problem is the first step to recovery. We need to take

better responsibility for our driving. News reports that point the blame away from drivers and towards naturally occurring road conditions are part of the problem. Headline after headline reinforces a lack of driver responsibility and accountability. Media outlets, in my view, need to take responsibility for the incredible influence they have. I came upon one headline that was almost

helpful, but only almost: “Slow Down! Snowfall Causes Multiple Accidents On Local Roads”. It should have read “Slow Down! Irresponsible Drivers Cause Multiple Crashes on Snowy Roads.” Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark is quoted in the story but if only his message had been clearly reflected in the headline: “It’s slippery and there’s fresh, wet snow, so they need to slow down and drive for the conditions.” That is precisely the

message that needs to get out; a message of responsibility and accountability. There is a law that says that you’re not supposed to drive at a speed that is excessive relative to the road or weather conditions: Section 144(1)(c) of the Motor Vehicle Act. Should we need a law, though, to take common sense responsibility for our driving? Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

▼ OUR VIEW

Facing budget realities—not today

he 2014-15 provincial budget offers little in the way of new programs or directions for the provincial government. It focuses on running a small surplus, while holding the line on spending. Taxes for smokers are going up, which when coupled with recent federal tax increases, add up to almost 75 cents per pack of cigarettes. Once again, the province is hitting up people to pay more towards the cost of the health care system. Medical Service Plan

premiums will rise another four per cent. B.C. remains the only province where residents pay directly towards health care, in addition to the amount they pay through general taxation. What is surprising is the “hold the line” approach on education spending. When coupled with the province’s stinging loss of a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court and ongoing negotiations with the B.C. Teachers Federation, the budget will make an accommodation with teachers almost impossible to achieve.

A hint as to the tax structure to be applied to liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants is offered in the budget, but this seems to be just an opening step in negotiations, given that B.C. is competing with other jurisdictions for this business. Overall, this budget is devoid of any original ideas, ideas that the voters on one hand want to see but on the other remain fearful of how any bold initiatives will negatively impact their lives. As a result of the baby boomers living beyond their means

and placing an increasingly costly dependence on government, and ultimately taxpayers, we are headed down a path that is unsustainable. Because of that, the challenges B.C. faces in this budget year, and the years to come, are similar to what Prime Minister Stephen Harper is currently dancing around leading up to next year’s federal election. There are just no easy solutions, something elected governments across Canada are afraid voters are unwilling to accept. Can we handle the truth?

Budget 2014 and the New Building Canada Plan

alancing the federal budget has a lot in common with balancing the family budget. We’ve been through some tough times so we’ve had to take out a line of credit to avert emergencies, and we’ve been working diligently to get back to balance by setting clear priorities and taking care of the things that are most important. According to Chapter 4.2 of Budget 2014 (budget.gc.ca) here is where your tax dollars go: Elderly benefits: $43.8 billion; Employment Insurance benefits: $17.7 billion; children’s benefits: $13.2 billion; major transfers to other levels of government including support for health and other social pro-

grams: $44.7 billion; fiscal arrangements: $19.4 billion; cities and communities (gas tax fund), $2 billion; other transfer payments total $113 billion; public debt charges: $29 billion. With total revenues of $276.3 billion and total expenses of $279.2 billion, we have posted a deficit for this year but we will return to budget balance next year. We’ll be able to pay more down on our debt and we will ensure that Canada is prepared for any economic challenges that might come our way from outside our borders.

Our focus on Canada’s labour market will also continue to be of primary importance. As the report, The State of the Canadian Labour Market, reRon leased by the DepartCannan ment of Finance(also available at budget. gc.ca) says “Canada’s labour market has generally succeeded in meeting recent challenges and performs relatively well in a number of areas…” Nevertheless, as the report indicates, “there are areas that could be strengthened. In particular, imbalances between unemployment and

MP’S REPORT

job vacancies persist in certain regions and occupation groups; a number of groups remain underrepresented in the labour market; relatively fewer Canadians graduate in high-demand fields than in competitor countries; and Canada lags its peers in the development of business skills.” Budget 2014 focuses on addressing these deficiencies. Among the initiatives taken, we are launching the Canada Job Grant and an enhanced Job Matching Service to help connect Canadians with available jobs; we are introducing a new Canada Apprentice Loan to help registered apprentices in Red Seal trades with the cost of training; we are investing more in programs to help

older workers and persons with disabilities access the labour market; we are creating thousands of new paid internships for young Canadians entering the job market; we are investing more into aboriginal education and training; and we are providing $1.5 billion over the next decade for the Canada First Research Excellence Fund for post-secondary research. The federal government also recognizes that for communities to realize their economic potential they need more funds for infrastructure.

Unskilled workers compete for same jobs as Red Seal certified carpenters To the editor: I have been a ticketed Red Seal carpenter since March 26, 1994. In my career I have apprenticed several carpenters and have enjoyed teaching the trade to young aspiring trades people. I have always believed schooling and getting a Red Seal ticket was the way to ensure a good career with good pay. I did my apprenticeship at Okanagan College with great instructors and enjoyed the process. During my apprenticeship I voiced my concerns about the value of having a ticket as a carpenter with my instructors. My main concern was (and still is) you do not

need a carpentry ticket to pull a [building] permit to construct a home, renovate, or do any type of construction—residential or commercial, the argument being that you cannot take away the right of a home owner to build their own home. I agree, but with the guidance of a certified carpenter who would be responsible for the quality of the home and to ensure the home was built to code with good building practices. Other trades (electrical, plumbing, gas) require a ticket to pull a permit. I believe in the value of trade school and the value of committing to a fouryear apprentice program.

Myself and other ticketed carpenters feel our ticket is overlooked and has limited value. We are constantly underbid by unskilled, and non-ticketed carpenters. I find it more and more difficult to support my family and survive financially when competing against workers that are not ticketed. In my trade I have ex-police officers (with great pension plans), firemen, farmers, truck drivers, etc., picking up tools and competing for new housing (anyone can be a registered builder, it’s only a matter of purchasing insurance—no trade required), renovations, additions etc.

I believe in the trades and the excellent programs to train our young people. When asked by younger workers what trade to go into, I often tell them to choose a trade other than carpentry, as there is no value to our ticket. Wages are much lower due to unfair competition from unskilled and non-ticketed workers. Carpentry is an interesting, challenging and satisfying career. Until our Red Seal ticket is necessary to pull permits it has no value, unless on a union job. In conclusion, I am requesting a simple change in the permit process province-wide to require

a Red Sealed certified carpenter to pull a building permit for new home construction, or renovations. This would follow the standards set by the electrical trade requiring a ticketed journeyman to pull the permit therefore ensuring the project is done by a professional who is accountable for their workmanship. This process would help standardize wages in the carpentry trade, improve construction practices, and bring B.C. to the forefront as a leader in quality home construction. Maurice Kellerman, West Kelowna

Beleaguered by ridiculous dog bylaw To the editor: In reply to the Regional District of the Central Okanagan’s reply about the new dog bylaw on its website’s Whats New page http:// www.regionaldistrict.com/whats-new.aspx. 1. A retractable leash length of six feet is still unacceptable to me because my dog needs exercise. He wants to chase wildlife, and he jumps and climbs fences so a fence won’t work, plus I use a long 15-foot training leash. Anyone can get tangled in any length of leash. 2. RDCO has been known to enforce their dog bylaw without a warrant according to The Not So Dangerous Dogs of British Columbia facebook page and people I have talked to. RDCO also let the guy in my subdivision keep his nine dogs when he doesn’t qualify for a kennel permit. 3. RDCO said you still need to pay RDCO’s legal costs if you win a dangerous dog case. 4. You are still required to report bylaw infractions and unlicensed dogs, even if you are not fined. 5. You are still required to advise RDCO if your dog has died or been transferred to a new owner, even if RDCO cannot fine you.

6. RDCO said your dog cannot be deemed aggressive or dangerous because someone says your dog causes them emotional trauma. We all know how RDCO investigates. For instance in the case of Shadow, the verdict was the lady’s own dog bit her and Shadow was not euthanized. Most people don’t have $50,000 to take a dangerous dog case to court, so one single dog control officer can deem your dog dangerous, and then you have to submit to RDCO to have your dog euthanized if you don’t have the money. I believe that three behaviour assessments should be done. 7. In regards to the definition of aggression, what does “attempted to attack” really mean? Does it mean the dog barked and lunged on leash? I want to see a badly needed policy for dog control officers. 8. There is no reason why every dog has to be deemed aggressive or dangerous for life. Dogs can be rehabilitated with training. In the case of Tali, a conditional order was drawn up and Tali went to training. Tali is no longer required to wear a muzzle. Also I don’t see why an aggressive dog is required to be in an enclosure when outside if it has a muzzle on. Additions: A. RDCO has stated that the RCMP can

The Armstrong RCMP who work the North Westside Road area, told me that they can’t ticket anyone, because RDCO can’t or won’t enforce the ticket. (Sgt. Rob Daly of the Armstrong RCMP, 250-5463028). B. And did you know that RDCO has to canvass your neighbourhood to be able to ticket a barking dog, because you alone are not believable by the adjudicator? C. How can you stay anonymous going to court? RDCO is causing neighbour relation problems telling you that you have to see the dog barking so that you can identify the dog and can take the dog owner to court. The RCMP tell me…I am not to go out for a walk on the road to try and see which dog is barking behind trees or in the dark. I believe the RDCO should be catching barking dogs and taking dog owners to court instead of you and all your neighbours. RDCO also needs to stop telling people to take photos of barking dogs.

which will provide $53 billion in support of infrastructure in Canada over the next 10 years. The new plan will support projects that focus on economic growth, job creation and productivity, including building roads, bridges, public transit, and other public infrastructure that supports local economies. It will provide municipalities, provinces and territories with the assurance they need to plan public infrastructure projects in their jurisdictions. Locally, the strong partnership forged be1

tween all three levels of government here in Kelowna-Lake Country, which helped us reach important local infrastructure goals will no doubt serve us well again and ensure that we can realize our constituency’s priorities. It disappoints me to hear the opposition suggest that Budget 2014 is a “do nothing budget” since it also suggests your tax dollars are doing nothing. Yet, higher taxes mixed with big spending, especially on government, is not the recipe for the effective use of taxpayers’ money. As with any family

budget, being frugal can seem difficult, but there are times when it is necessary. Even when the economy is firing on all cylinders, we should remain prudent. Today, taxes are at a 50 year low. Health, education and social funding for our seniors, our vets, and our families is higher than it has ever been. Maintaining balanced budgets, keeping taxes low, paying down the debt, supporting job creation, and protecting the programs most important to us is a better recipe for success.

Council gets first look at Campbell Road development Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

commercial marina and a public beach. The project involves an OCP and zoning amendment for the 5.9-hectare property. Initially the concept plan proposed three

14-storey highrise towers; however, the applicant has since reduced the scale of the proposal to a medium density multiple family OCP designation. The subject prop-

erty is divided by Campbell Road. The Blackmun Bay Village concept plan shows residential towers and garden apartments and town homes on the property west of Camp-

bell Road. The illustration shows the property to the east having a public beach, natural areas, a restaurant and marina centre and a 268-slip marina. In February 2013, a 1.7-hectare portion of the land, west of Campbell Road, was excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The eastern portion of the parcel is still located within the ALR. Although council gave first reading to the OCP bylaw amendment regarding the western portion of land, several councillors indicated concern regarding the area to the east of Campbell Road, where an existing orchard currently operates. “Eighty per cent of

the land on that side of the road, by the ALC’s own comments, is class one land,” said Coun. Rick de Jong. “It’s some of the best land we’ve got in the province sitting right there. My concerns would be with whatever took place on that east side of the road, the impacts it would have on the agricultural functionality of that orchard.” De Jong admitted the marina and public beach were tempting amenities being offered by the development. Coun. Gord Milsom said initial concepts associated with the project seem “very appealing.” “I believe that such an investment would be good

for our community,” said Milsom. Next steps in the process include: Drafting of a comprehensive development zone, referrals to other government agencies and stakeholders, obtaining approvals from the Agricultural Land Commission, preparation and submission of technical studies, including traffic and servicing analysis, environmental impact assessments and geotechnical studies. Once these steps have been completed, the application will proceed to council for first and second reading of the zoning bylaw amendment, and second reading of the OCP amendment.

Kelowna to seek $30,000 grant for Okanagan Lake shore erosion project Kelowna city council has endorsed an application for a $30,000 grant from the Okanagan Basin Water Board to help pay for a plan to prevent further erosion of a stretch of lakeshore near Kelowna General Hospital using sand and plantings instead of

the usual rock rip rap. City staff say the Strathcona Park Shoreline Stabilization Project, which will see improvements along 120 metres of lakeshore between Royal Avenue and Strathcona Park, will use a sustainable approach that would

mimic the result of natural processes and allow for continued fish rearing, maintain habitat connectivity between the lake and the land but also help stabilize the shoreline. It will also have less impact and disturbance to the existing land adja-

cent to the shore. The “sand renourishment” option is expected to prevent further erosion for the next 10 to 12 years. An application to proceed with the project has been made to the province but Victoria wants more information.

That study is estimated to cost between $30,000 and $50,000. If successful, the OBWB money would help offset the cost of permitting. The entire budget for the project is $192,000.

Rutland Middle School Home of the Voodoos

Community Connection FEBRUARY 2014

RMS cheerleaders go to first competition By: Lauren Gifford, Grade 8 On February 2nd, in the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Center, in B.C, the Rutland Middle School Cheerleaders attended their very first competition of the season. The RMS cheerleaders spent Saturday night in a local team’s school gym, and then got up bright and early to head to the competition. Five minutes was all that was allowed for each team to practice on the mat and to rehearse the routine; consisting of a cheer, dance and tumbling passes. Before walking on the mat, RMS cheerleaders had

a team huddle and gave each other last minute words of encouragement. Once on the mat, judges were strict; for example, any athlete caught

adjusting clothing or having flexed feet would result in a point deduction from the total score.

Although the cheerleaders were nervous, they felt confident in their routine. “We’ve been practicing our routine since day one”, says RMS cheerleader Tara, “You know that once you get on the mat, the nerves will go away, and the five months of practice will set in.” The RMS cheerleaders were the first team to compete, and got 2nd place! After a look at the scorecards, it turned out Rutland Middle was the only team that didn’t get any deductions. Says cheerleader Kelly, “In the end, it doesn’t matter if we win or not, it’s about how well we think we did.” RMS did great!

Shopping spree: A pricey learning experience By: Lindsay Daniels, Gurpreet Bhatia, Grade 8 When in doubt, go shopping! In our opinion, our favourite assignment this grade 8 year was the “shopping spree” in math class. No, we don’t mean that our class went shopping while we were supposed to be doing math; our class did online shopping for math. What we had to do was pick 18 items from our favourite shops in Orchard Park Shopping Mall. After we chose our items we calculated sales, taxes, and per cent. We only had a $1000 budget. For each item there would be a colour that gave us the sales prices. For

example, If you bought a purse, it would be in the accessory category and the colour would be dark blue. Personally we really liked this assignment because we both love shopping, which made us both very interested in the project. This was very important because shopping is an everyday activity, and lots of people including us (before the assignment!) don’t know how to calculate discounts. This experience was something we really paid attention to and learned a lot from. The project was a great experience of learning, and will most definitely help us in the future, for when we go shopping!

Where Everybody Belongs: WEB By: Makenna Withers, Grade 9 We’ve all been there; it’s the first day of grade seven at a new school and your super nervous. There’s nothing worst than feeling like you don’t belong. At RMS we want to make sure everybody feels like they belong. That’s why we have a WEB team. WEB stands for Where Everybody Belongs. Our goal as leaders is making sure nobody feels left out. WEB leaders come to school one week before school starts to get to know the new to RMS, grade sevens and show them around the school so they will have a better idea on where to go

on first day of school. The grade nine WEB leaders decided to do something just for the grade sevens once a month so they continue to feel included at RMS. The WEB leaders decided for the cold month on January the WEB leaders would serve hot chocolate with whip cream and sprinkles to grade sevens. Not only could the grade sevens get a special treat but it gave WEB leaders another chance to talk to grade sevens and get to know them better. The grade nine WEB students love helping everyone feel included at RMS. With this kind of collaboration RMS is proud to say the students are closer than ever.

Science fair fun By: Pargun Sran, grade 8 Science Fair is back again! It feels like the Science Fair comes so quickly each year. Rutland Middle School Grade 7 and 8’s had two Science Fairs in January. Science fairs display students work and get students to explore questions using scientific method. The audience for these projects are wide, with lots of judges and student evaluators. All of the students were nervous for the judging but students know they will be fine if their information is correct! There were projects on all different aspects of life: music, light, emotions, plants, bubbles, power, animals, and states of matter… so many interesting questions and topics! When I was walking around I saw lots of great science. Overall the Science Fair was great. It was very fun to participate in science learning.

RMS goes to Kamloops: The tournament capital By: Manraj Bhandher, grade 9 On January 24th my basketball team went to Kamloops for a basketball tournament. We left at lunch and arrived at Best Western in Kamloops around 3:30 pm. We had our game that day at 6:15 pm, so until then the team just hung out, and some people went to the pool. We arrived at the school, and we played our first game of the tournament. We ended up losing but coach (Mrs. Kathy Lafontaine), was proud because we all played really well. After the game we went back to the hotel, and ordered pizza. We ate together as a team, and afterwards we hung out again and had so much fun. We had a game very early the next day though, so curfew was a little earlier.

The next day we got up at 6:30 am, ate breakfast in the hotel, got ready and left for our second game of the tournament. It was early so we were really tired but at the end we won our game. It was a huge win! Then we had our 3rd and last game of the tournament. We had to be prepared because we knew our opponent was tough. We played really well first half and it was really close. At the end we slipped and we lost, but we played a really amazing game and we were proud of our game, and so was coach. After all that we did come 6th but it was a good finish. It was our first time travelling together as a team and I loved it. It was lots of fun and I am sure everyone else had fun too.

North End to be hub of Kelowna’s foodie culture

long awaited hub for all to gather to celebrate and participate in our food, wine and farm world is being built on Clement Avenue downtown. The Urban Square Market project will house a Granville Island-style Public Market featuring an array of our finest growers, producers and artisans including everyone from the butcher, the baker, the wine and cheese maker (wink) inhouse, mingled with local crafters and artists. A celebration of all things local, the Market will be in fine company with new neighbours the StarkHund Brewery Company and the gorgeous new Sandhill wine tasting centre that will offer both a tasting and beer/wine education experience for visitors.

FOOD WINE FARM REPORT

Jennifer Schell The transformation of the city’s former industrial North End into the heart of our downtown’s urban centre and food and wine destination is in the works. ••• Another sign that Kelowna is hitting its urban stride is the addition of The Salted Brick downtown. This cool, delicious new eatery on Bernard Avenue brings us not only great nosh for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner—it also brings us the delights of high quality,

Cranberry venison salami

CONTRIBUTED

JASON LEIZART of The Salted Brick on Kelowna’s downtown Bernard Avenue. house-made charcuterie created by old world trained butcher/owner chef Jason Leizart. No stranger to the restaurant scene, Leizart was part of two highly suc-

cessful restaurant projects in Vancouver and also spent time at the retrohip butcher shop Save-On Meats on East Hastings Street (you know, the one with the flashing neon pig

sign?) Leizart honed his butchery and charcuterie craft over the years in Europe and he brings to us this collection of artisanal flavours of the highest quality that this town has not seen the likes of yet. Salamis, hams, bacon and down to jars of high quality lard and LARDO for sale—this man uses the whole pig. Farm raised, antibiotic free pork (of course) is

delivered to his shop for processing and he, in Old World style, utilizes the whole beast. With a fabulous cheese selection (including local and import), mouthwatering house made pickles (the marinated mushrooms are insanely good and the carrots are a crazy spice bomb), meats and sausages (not just pork either—the cranberry venison salami is to die for) there is a great wine list (plus whiskies!), this is one of the hautest places in town. The menu is always changing with one common denominator— everything is delicious. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C. Wine Trails Magazine. jennschell@shaw.ca twitter.com/JenniferSchell8

Easter is a great time to volunteer in your community Volunteering is as Canadian as maple syrup and the beaver. Before taking an oath of allegiance, new Canadians are encouraged to embrace volunteer opportunities in their communities as a way to integrate into our wonderful society. If you share compassion for disabled kids and their families and would like to contribute to improving their lives, the inaugural Easter Seals Splash of Colour Family Fun Run offers an ideal opportunity to contribute. The 2014 event will be held in Kelowna and Vernon on Easter Weekend, Saturday, April 19. Whether you’re a natural Canadian, new citizen, long-time resident or just spending time in the Okanagan Valley, this is one of the most vibrant volunteering experiences you’re likely to encounter.

Presented by Century21 and with strong support from local Lions and Lioness Clubs, all proceeds from the Kelowna and Vernon events will stay in the Okanagan to help send local kids with disabilities to Easter Seals Camp Winfield. The events in Kelowna and Vernon each require approximately 150 volunteers on the day. In Kelowna and Vernon, there are Sponsorship Coordinator positions and Captains for: 1) Team Development, 2) Pledge and Donations, 3) Site and Start/Finish, 4) Needs, 5) Route and 6) Colour Zones. Colour zones offer an excellent opportunity for corporate sponsorship which will allow the organization to place signage and populate the zone with their staff. Volunteering is an excellent oppor-

tunity for companies to improve employee engagement. Sign up now as a volunteer, participant or sponsor at www.splashofcolour.ca for the 2014 Easter Seals Splash of Colour Family Fun Run. More information about the Easter Seals Camps are available at: http://www.eastersealscamps.ca/home and on the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities at http://www.lionsbc.ca/. —Jeanette Hoft, Redthirteen Communications.

Pompeii is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, best known for his adaptations of videogames like Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil and sci-fi movies like Soldier, Death Race and the gleefully gruesome and scary Event Horizon. He even directed 2011’s The Three Musketeers, giving Alexandre Dumas’ characters a Steampunk twist to middling critical reviews but ultimately to box office success. Anderson attempts to give Pompeii historical accuracy as he and his collaborators spent six years researching the disaster but it is the set piece behind a fictional story of a young gladiator and

his forbidden love of a beautiful woman who is betrothed to a corrupt Roman senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts, he must fight his way out of the arena in order to save his beloved as the once magnificent Pompeii crumbles around him. While the concept really reminds me of Titanic, Anderson’s style will give the familiar story some impressive eyecandy and action. It stars Kit Harington (Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow), Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) and Kiefer Sutherland. ••• With a name like McG, you can expect some impressive style from this director, especially because he started his career as a music producer and music video director. After directing more than 50 music videos for the likes of Smash Mouth and The Offspring, he was approached by Drew Barrymore to direct 2000’s Charlie’s Angels. He went on to direct the sequel as well as Terminator Salvation and This Means War and producing TV shows like The O.C., Chuck and Supernatural. McG’s latest movie is 3 Days to Kill, which may be another step in the revival of Kevin Costner’s career. Costner plays a dangerous international spy who is determined

to give up his high stakes life to finally build a closer relationship with his estranged wife and daughter. But while he is trying to reacquaint himself with his teenage daughter, he must complete one more mission hunting down the world’s most ruthless terrorist. Also starring Hailee Steinfeld (Academy Award nominee in True

Grit), it is written and produced by Luc Besson, one of France’s most famous and prolific filmmakers. An interesting commonality between this week’s two films is Milla Jovovich, the ex-wife of Luc Besson who starred for him in The Fifth Element & The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc and the current wife

of Paul W.S. Anderson, who starred for him in the Resident Evil movies and The Three Musketeers.

Jugo Juice donates $7,711 to YMCA programs for toddlers

Rick Button and Savi Baychoo, owners of Jugo Juice’s H2O location, recently toured the YMCA’s Little Scholars Playing to Learn Childcare & Preschool Centre. The visit gave both a firsthand look at the impact of a $7,711 donation by Jugo Juice on the community. “Our business prides itself on providing the healthiest options possible and it is always great to see that there are organizations like the YMCA who share this same goal,” explained Baychoo. “Knowing that our donation is going

towards providing children, like those attending Little Scholars, access to healthy activities, nutrition and learning in our local community is a great feeling.” In 2013, the YMCA of Okanagan was able to assist 178 families in receiving affordable childcare, which wouldn’t be possible without donations such as the one made by the Jugo Juice franchise owners.

Hobbyists and enthusiasts are invited to a rare opportunity Feb. 21 and 22 to see the art and craft of fine woodworking in action at the third annual Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event at Okanagan College. Presented by the College’s Studio Woodworking program, the event will feature workshops, question and answer sessions, and hand tool demonstrations delivered by Jeremy Tomlinson, woodworking instructor at Urban Woodworker in Vancouver. “Hand Tool woodworking is an increasingly popular amateur pursuit, and a rewarding handson way to explore personal creativity in a friendly medium like wood,” said Tomlinson. “These days, people want to make things for themselves out of locally sourced materials, and they can do that in their own home or apartment with woodworking hand tools.

‘Underrated’ Martin shuts down his opponents Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Cole Martin thoroughly abhors the idea of being beaten one-on-one by an opponent. His intense dislike for finishing second best is just one reason the 19-year-old Texan has developed into one of the Western Hockey League’s most efficient shut-down defencemen. Heading into this week’s action, Martin was second in the WHL and tops among all Rockets in the plus-minus category at +50. Over the last two seasons, Martin is an eye-popping +97. While plus-minus statistics can sometimes be misleading, Rockets assistant coach Dan Lambert insists there’s nothing bogus about the numbers Martin has been compiling since the start of the 2012-13 season. “In Cole’s situation,

Q a m q l U s B

there’s nothing deceiving about his plus-minus,” said Lambert. “On most nights he’s up against the other team’s top lines, so he doesn’t get any breaks there…and he doesn’t score a lot of points, so he’s earning everything he gets. He does such a good job in his own zone.” And as far as Martin’s one-on-one abilities are concerned, Lambert considers the 19-year-old rearguard among the most underrated players in the WHL. “Not too many guys ever beat Cole 1-on-1, even our own guys hate going against him practise,” Lambert added. “He’s competitive and he doesn’t like getting scored on. His transition from backwards to forwards is very good, and he turns as well as anyone. He takes pride in his game and success comes from that.” Because Martin generally isn’t an offensive

DEFENCEMAN Cole Martin leads the Kelowna Rockets in the plus-minus department this season with a rating of +50. threat, attention and accolades are much harder to come by than for some of his flashier Rockets teammates. Still, Martin is content to go largely unnoticed, as long as he’s helping his team win. “I think the guys on

my team appreciate what I do, and that’s all I care about,” said Martin. “I’m not a flashy guy and every game I just think about what I can do, how I can do the best job possible to help the guys win. I’m not really a stats guy, so that really doesn’t

matter to me. I just hate losing and I think that’s what helps me stay on top of my game.” Martin and the Rockets will travel to Prince George this weekend for a doubleheader with the Cougars, Friday and Saturday nights.

BCHL Interior title to go to the wire With just over a week remaining in the regular season, there’s a better than even chance the battle for top spot in the BCHL’s Interior Division will go down to the wire. The Penticton Vees (33-15-2-4) lead the West Kelowna Warriors (31-15-3-5) by two points for top spot—each team has four games to play. Penticton got a leg up on the Warriors with a convincing 6-3 win on Tuesday night before 1,400 fans at Royal LePage Place. Nic Pierog scored twice while Riley Alferd had a goal and two assists for the Vees, who

fell behind 1-0, then scored five unanswered goals to put the game away, including two goals in a 52-second span in the third period. Adam Osczevski, Carl Hesler and Seb Lloyd all scored for the Warriors, who outshot Penticton 40-28. West Kelowna was stymied time and again by Vees netminder Olivier Mantha. “I don’t think we should give up five goals on that many shots,” said Warriors coach and GM Rylan Ferster. “I thought their goalie played well for them. They had some chances and they bur-

ied them. They’re a good team.” With just four games left for each team, the Vees hold the first two tie breakers over West Kelowna—total wins (33 to 31) and head-tohead match ups (4-3). The Warriors are just four points up on third-place Vernon. The Vipers also have four games left. West Kelowna will be in Merritt Friday, before finishing the season with three straight games against the last-place Trail Smoke Eaters, including this Saturday night at Royal LePage.

Kelowna sand duo earns trip to Mexico

Two Kelowna athletes have booked a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico this summer. Kelowna Secondary’s Quinci Birker and Natalie Livingston from Immaculata joined forces to qualify for the Beach Volleyball Federation (FIVB) U17 world championship in July in Bahai dr Banderas. The duo travelled to Toronto last weekend for Canada’s U17 qualification championship. The two had previously played together in 2012, winning the provincials and earning a bronze at nationals. Both girls are currently playing on the junior Heat indoor volleyball team.

In Toronto, Birker and Livingston ended up in second place in pool play to earn a berth in the semifinals where they breezed to victory 21-7, 21-13. In the final, the Kelowna girls faced the team that had beaten them in round robin. The Kelowna duo came out and addressed some of the shortcomings they had experienced during the round robin match-up. Birker and Livingston played very aggressively in the first set of the final and would win easily 21-9. The second set started out well with the Kelowna duo going up 9-5, but let their foot off the gas and let the opponents

gain the upper hand and eventually take the set 1921. In the third and deciding set, Quinci and Natalie came out flat-footed and found themselves down 0-3, before turning the game around. Once they moved ahead at 6-4, they stayed aggressive and maintained their lead to an eventual victory with a score of 15-10. “We haven’t played together in a while, so it was a bit difficult to get back in the groove, but we are happy with the result and are looking forward to Mexico,” said Birker. Birker and Livingston will represent Canada July 15 to 20 at FIVB U17 Tournament in Puerto Vallarta.

UBCO hoops teams bid farewell to grads When the final buzzer rang out on Saturday night in Kamloops, it marked the end of the university careers of seven members of the UBC Okanagan basketball programs. Graduating from the Heat women’s team is Krystal Schouten (Winnipeg), while Yassine Ghomari (Vancouver), Ed Dane Medi (Rome, Italy) Landry Ndayitwayeko (Windsor), and Mike Zayonc (North Vancouver) have played their last games with the UBCO men. In addition, women’s player Laura Marcolin has decided to hang up the sneakers as she continues to pursue her studies at UBC’s Okanagan campus. Schouten, who started 18 of 20 games this season and averaged 6.3 points per game, will spend the rest of the semester completing her Bachelor’s in Human Kinetics. “Basketball is always a nice stress reliever,” she added, “so I’ll

He will receive a Bachelor in Human Kinetics in the spring. Ghomari currently sits as the third best point getter at this institution with 943 total points and he is also third in total

assists (159). “It’s pretty cool,” said Ghomari of his spot on the all-time lists for the program, “but at the end of the day a record is just a record. It’s not why we play. We always play to win. Unfortunately that didn’t happen too much this season, but it’s always nice hearing that you’re in the books too, I guess.” The multilingual Medi leaves as the all-time leader in games played with

88, breaking the record of 86 set by Matt Gowing. Ed finished fifth all-time in total rebounds with 349, trailing former teammate Dave Mackay, who grabbed 369.

Cougars wear Grade 9 valley crown KLO’s unbeaten season remained in tact as the Cougars captured the Okanagan Valley Grade 9 girls basketball title last weekend in Kelowna. The Cougars defeated Dr. Knox 50-33 in Saturday’s final at KLO. Jayne Reid struck for four three-pointers and 16 points in the final, Courtney Donaldson added 14 and Alley Corrado had 10 points. KLO defeated Immaculata 66-27 in the

semis. Donaldson scored 18, Corrado had 14 and Reid, 12. The Cougars, 63-0 over the last two seasons, will head to provincials in Richmond next weekend as the top Okanagan seed. Joining them from the valley will be Knox, Immaculata, OKM and Pen Hi. Kelowna schools have won the last three B.C. Grade 9 titles—KLO in 2011, and Immaculata in 2012 and 2013.

▼ VALLEY MITSUBISHI

Dealership excels at customer service V alley Mitsubishi, located at 2350 Enterprise Way, was recently recognized as the top-ranked dealership for customer satisfaction of all the 90 Mitsubishi dealerships in Canada for a second consecutive year. Their customer service index was ranked 99.58 out of 100 in 2013. The dealership is now in its 11th year. Rick Wright, president and general manager, along with his staff are proud of their hands-on personal approach with every customer. They pride themselves on no pressure sales, customer follow-ups, courtesy cars, excellence in repairs and selling quality vehicles. Valley Mitsubishi believes that happy customers are repeat customers. The mid-size Outlander SUV is one of the automaker’s best sellers. Ann Petrone, with ReMax Kelowna, has been elected chair of The Real Estate Compensation Fund Corporation board of directors. The RECFC was created by the B.C. Real Estate Services Act to compensate members of the public for losses incurred as a result of fraudulent activity by a real estate licensee. A new restaurant has opened in downtown Kelowna at 243 Bernard Ave. called The Salted Brick (next to the Paramount Theatre). It’s a humble space with wooden booths, small tables and a handful of stools at

sissauga Ontario-based competitor Cargojet which, in a press release, pegged contract revenues at approximately $1 billion during the initial seven-year agreement, based on projected volumes. Their stock values rose 22 per cent as news of the contract that begins in March 2015 was released. Dollar losses aren’t something Flightcraft management is willing to discuss just yet. Grant Stevens, Flightcraft’s director of human resources, said they still have 13 months to finish off the current contract, while working toward replacing lost business with something just as lucrative. “As we look at the

forecast moving forward, and listen to all the talk on LNG, we can see that there’s demand for heavy lift (services) to the north,” said Stevens. “That may be an opportunity for us.” If they can’t replace the contract, however, the company could change significantly. Most notably, a fleet

of 18 airplanes will be grounded. In jobs, that amounts to 115 pilots, the vast majority of whom don’t live in the Okanagan, who will be without work when the contract ends. Locally, Stevens said the losses will be less significant as the company is fairly well diversified with

its third-party maintenance and flight training divisions. “We have about 15 flight operations support staff in Kelowna that are at risk if we aren’t able to replace the work,” Stevens said. But, he’s confident those jobs will stay in the area. “In our 44-year history, it’s not unusual in aviation to lose a contract and bounce back,” he said. “We’ve lost one before with Purolator and Greyhound…This time we have advance notice, and we are resilient.” That said, everyone at Flightcraft is “mourning the loss of a preferred customer,” he said.

Council gets first look at Campbell Road development

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

The wheels are slowly beginning to turn on a proposed Campbell Road development in West Kelowna. West Kelowna council gave first reading to an Official Community Plan amendment application for the western portion of 2211 Campbell Rd. on Feb. 11. The application is to change the designation from agricultural to medium density multiple family. The project, known as Blackmun Bay Village, is proposing to develop multiple family apartments and town homes, a restaurant, a 268-slip commercial marina and a public beach. The project involves an OCP and zoning amendment for the 5.9-hectare property. Initially the concept plan proposed three 14-storey highrise towers; however, the applicant has since reduced the scale of the proposal to a medium density multiple family OCP designation. The subject property is divided by Campbell Road. The Blackmun Bay Village concept plan shows residential towers and garden apartments and town homes on the property west of Campbell Road. The illustration shows the property to the east having a public beach, natural areas, a restaurant and marina centre and a 268-slip marina. In February 2013, a

land we’ve got in the province sitting right there. “My concerns would be with whatever took place on that east side of the road, the impacts it would have on the agricultural functionality of that orchard.” De Jong admitted the marina and public beach were tempting amenities being offered by the development. Coun. Gord Milsom said initial concepts associated with the project seem “very appealing.” “I believe that such an investment would be good for our community,” said Milsom. Next steps in the process include: Drafting of a comprehensive develop-

Q A

What is the difference between a ruptured disc and a slipped disc or a bulging disc? Do I have one?

A disc is a fibrous/gelatinous layer of material between the vertebrae in your spine. It has concentric layers of fibrous tissue with a soft gelatinous center. It absorbs shock and pressure in the spine. The disc can become damaged from injury or degeneration causing a weakness of the structure. A disc can bulge if the outer layer is damaged. It can tear causing the inner substance to protrude outward or even escape the disc itself, which is referred as a herniated disc. A herniated disc usually causes pain, numbness or muscle weakness and it is usually down a leg or an arm. Herniated discs are most often in the neck or low back regions. They are rare in the mid back. Risk factors for ruptured discs are chronic spinal pain, long periods of sitting, and repetitive heavy lifting with twisting, lack of exercise, being overweight, trauma and smoking. Most ruptured disc will heal with conservative care and do not require surgery. If you are experiencing symptoms of back and/or leg pain or just have one or more of the risk factors consult your local chiropractor for an assessment and advice.

Skin Care tips from your Medicine Shoppe Pharmacist. Skin is the largest organ in the body. Like your heart, lungs and liver, your skin needs the same care. Here are some tips for you:

1. Always protect yourself from the Sun - prolonged sun exposure will leave your skin damaged in long run. Also, this will increase the risk for cancer. Always use sunblock, wear protective clothing and reduce exposure. 2. Don’t smoke. Smoking can dry the skin on your face. It constricts the surface blood vessels of your skin which in turn reduces blood flow. This will prevent nutrients to reach your skin.

3. Pamper your skin - Always moisturize your skin, especially dry spots. Avoid prolonged hot baths as these can remove essential skin oils. Use mild soaps only. 4. A diet and lifestyle healthy for your heart will most definitely be healthy for your skin. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grain and healthy fats (i.e. omega 3) will be very nourishing for your skin. 5. Lead a stress free life. Healthy mind equals healthy skin.

Dental work even in this day & age still causes anxiety among many people. With modern technology, dental procedures have often become faster & more painless. Fortunately, there are also different ways to help alleviate dental phobia. The most common is the use of pharmaceuticals. This includes the use of oral prescription sedatives, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), intravenous sedation and the least commonly used is general anaesthesia. Drugs are effective but with them come the risk of side effects, unwanted interactions with other medications, a recovery period, and more rarely, serious medical complications or death. Since August of 2013 a drug free relaxation system by the name of NuCalm, was brought into Canada for dental use. It uses a central nervous system stimulator, nutritional supplements, the blocking out of light, & then music is supplied by headphones that is set to specific frequencies that relax the mind & body. It was originally developed for post-traumatic stress disorder & brought into dentistry in the US approximately 6 years ago. Even some of this year’s Olympians are using it to relax! There are no side effects and you can immediately drive after using it, unlike pharmaceuticals. For more info please contact:

Q A

What type of countertops should we go with for our new kitchen?

This question boils down to personal preference, and more importantly budget. If you have a tight budget, I would recommend going with Laminate. The advances in laminate over the past 5 to 7 years have been wonderful. They have everything from the very basics to high definition laminate that looks like granite and everything in between. One downside to laminate is that it is not practical to have an under mount sink, there are companies that can do it but in our opinion, save your money for something else in your kitchen like your backsplash. Solid surfaces including but not limited to; Granite, the many versions of Quartz from the “no name” versions right through to Caesarstone & Silestone, Quartz is scratch, stain and scorch-resistant. All Quartz products are made of Natural Quartz, the 4th hardest mineral found in nature, and each company puts their own designer touches to their product. Quartz is low maintenance, and never needs sealers; and then there is Corian, composed mainly of acrylic polymer (a plastic) with the ability to mold into anything such as integrated sinks. As Granite lovers, we love that every piece is unique it has over 300 million years of energy, sealing it is easy and if you clean your countertops, you won’t grow microbials! The price of Quartz can be more than Granite and Corian, and vice versa, as always, get several quotes from reputable companies.

Local students to take part in fast fundraiser Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Several Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary students are willing to let their stomachs growl for a good cause. The Mount Boucherie Rotary Interact Club will host the annual 24-hour famine Friday, Feb. 28 as a fundraiser for HOPE (Helping Out Exploited People) Outreach Kelowna. HOPE Outreach provides night time resources to homeless and/or sexually exploited women in Kelowna’s downtown core. Allison Brown, a Grade 12 student and member of Mount Boucherie Rotary Interact Club, said the student group picked HOPE Outreach for the positive work they do for local women. “They’re an organization that offers a safe house and an opportunity for women to get back on their feet,” said Brown. “We want to (reduce) the numbers of women on the street.” Students participating in the 24-hour famine will begin fasting at 8 a.m. Feb. 28. They’re invited to spend the night at MBSS, where there will be several activities offered throughout the night.

“We’re going to be having a school-wide scavenger hunt, probably some hide-and-seek and a game room.” Angie Lohr, president of HOPE Outreach, will speak to the students at 7 p.m. to explain what kinds of things the money raised will go toward. The next morning, several Rotarians will cook a pancake breakfast for the students. According to Brown, about 20 students have signed up for the 24-hour famine so far. The goal is to get closer to 100 participants. “Last year I think they had 30. We really want to increase the amount of people who are coming.” The Mount Boucherie Rotary Interact Club is a branch of the Rotary Club of Westbank. Brown said she is one of about six core members of the group; however, the club is always looking for participants. “(Students of) any grade can join. It’s not a club that requires an application. You can pretty much walk into a meeting and you’re welcomed.” Last year’s 24-hour famine brought in about $3,000; this year the goal is to raise $5,000. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Foodbanks benefit CANstruction A1 “They do everything from work with an architect, to design their structure, while taking everything into account.” Other structures built this year include a Terry Fox mural and a giant Canadian flag. Parry said the theme was chosen to celebrate the Winter Olympics, currently taking place in Sochi, Russia. All of the cans and non-perishable food items used in this year’s structures were donated by Save-On-Foods. “There are over 18,000 cans of food that will be shipped to the local food banks,” said Parry. “So it will make a huge difference this time of year to help us fill our shelves.” Kelowna Canstruction 2014 is the fifth an-

nual event. The Canstruction concept is an international competition that has raised over 21 million pounds of food since 1992 and takes place in 150 cities throughout the world, according to Parry. “At the end of the day, the food banks are the real winners in all of this.” The structures will be judged Thursday evening and will remain on display in Orchard Park Shopping Centre’s Sky Court and Apple Court until Feb. 23. Non-perishable food items and financial donations will be accepted at the mall during that time. After that, the food items used will be donated to the Kelowna Food Bank, the Westside Community Food Bank and the Kelowna Salvation Army. Twitter: @PatersonWade

See fine woodworking at OC Hobbyists and enthusiasts are invited to a rare opportunity Feb. 21 and 22 to see the art and craft of fine woodworking in action at the third annual Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event at Okanagan College. Presented by the college’s studio woodworking program, the event will feature workshops, question and answer sessions, and hand tool demonstrations delivered by Jeremy Tomlinson, woodworking instructor at Urban Woodworker in Vancouver. “Hand Tool woodworking is an increasingly popular amateur pur-

suit, and a rewarding hands-on way to explore personal creativity in a friendly medium like wood,” said Tomlinson. “These days, people want to make things for themselves out of locally sourced materials, and they can do that in their own home or apartment with woodworking hand tools. I get many students who say they work with the intangible all day long. “For them, woodworking is a way to create something real and concrete.” In Kelowna, studio woodwork-

ing has a year-round focus at Okanagan College. “We’re hoping to generate a community of woodworkers in the region to contribute to the local arts and crafts tradition,” said Alf Leimert, chair of construction trades. “Development of our 36-week studio woodworking program was in part motivated, even in today’s mass production world, by people who still value the quality and unique nature of hand-crafted pieces made in small shops.”
