Shooting results in prison sentence Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A Lake Country man was sentenced to three years in prison Monday for shooting a former friend in their shared home.

Judge Ann Wallace sentenced Kenneth Ralston, 61, to two years in prison for aggravated assault and tacked on a mandatory third year for using a firearm.

Upon hearing the sentence, Ralston—a grandfather of two who was characterized by supporters in his pre-sentencing report as “kind hearted”—turned and offered his friends a simple wave. They, in turn, left the courtroom in tears.

The sentence marks the end of the court process that began March 3, 2011, when Ralston was arrested for shooting longtime friend Michael Anderson in his right leg—an act to which he pleaded guilty last October.

Anderson, who was 44 at the time of the shooting, was taken to hospital and underwent surgery to save his leg.

Cost for Lakeshore Rd. upgrade has increased Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The City of Kelowna hasn’t planted a shovel in the ground yet, but already its big plan to upgrade part of Lakeshore Road and replace the Mission Creek Bridge has jumped in cost by $1.12 million.

On Monday, council ap-

proved the increased cost to the plan, which was already slated at just under $10 million, after city staff said additional items and work are needed because preliminary cost estimates were based on outdated population forecasts for the area.

As a result, larger utilities such as sanitary sewer pipes will be required to service fu-

ture growth, the bridge itself will have to be slightly higher than originally planned because it must meet the 200-year flood level and the cost of burying utility lines will be higher than originally thought.

“While I’m not happy to have to spend the additional money, it is the right thing to do,” said Coun. Colin Basran,

NEWS ▼ SPAGHETTI BRIDGE CONTEST

Booze played a Lumby students dominate heavyweight rankings part in shooting Prison from A1 was a life changing event that left Anderson bitter, unable to support himself, and in poor physical health.

By Pope’s estimate, it was a significant outcome for a mere $800. Pope explained the 2011 altercation boiled down to an outstanding debt.

“February went by, and (Anderson) couldn’t pay rent…then in March he failed to pay rent and that caused hard feelings between Mr. Ralston and Mr. Anderson,” said Pope, explaining that Anderson was supposed to pay Ralston $400 a month.

Anderson had been making a living by selling firewood, but a recent run-in with the B.C. Ministry of Forests left him barred from that avenue of work, so Anderson’s rent debt started to stack up.

The situation came to a head March 3, 2011.

That morning, Ralston found Anderson had started cutting up old furniture, and putting it into a fire pit.

Anderson claimed he was cleaning up. Ralston said that Anderson was burning up his patio furniture.

Regardless, the two got into a brief argument about the matter, although they went their separate ways shortly thereafter.

Later, however, things went more seriously awry.

Anderson’s statement indicated that Ralston busted into the shared home through the sliding glass doors, holding a rifle. “‘You better pay rent or get out, or I’ll shoot you,’” said Ralston, according to Anderson’s statement.

Anderson tried to explain he would soon pay his debt, and he’d secured work up north. But, within “two minutes” he found himself on the ground, in shock from a gunshot wound to the leg.

Statements from all sides indicate that Ralston was instantly remorseful, calling 911 and crying into Anderson’s lap. He was co-operative with police, who indicated that alcohol was involved.

The Winchester rifle had left significant damage, however, and photographic evidence indicated that Anderson bled heavily. Had the police not arrived when they did, Anderson would have died, said Crown counsel.

While the shooting and the events leading to it matched from either side, the question lingering was whether the gun had intentionally gone off.

According to defence lawyer Gavin Jones, the gun went off by accident when Ralston was trying to assert himself against a threat in his own home. According to his character witnesses, Anderson was aggressive, younger, stronger and had previously shown violent tendencies.

Judge Wallace, however, noted that Ralston should have known better than to bring a loaded weapon to a disagreement. And, in sentencing, she pointed out that booze was likely the most significant factor in the crime.

Wallace pointed out that Ralston had four drinking and driving charges from the ’70s, and he continued to exhibit behaviour that indicated he struggled with alcohol.

James Dessert, a Grade 8 student from Charles Bloom Secondary in Lumby, was the big winner of the 2014 Spaghetti Bridge contest held at Okanagan College last Friday.

Dessert’s bridge weighed in at a mere 994.99 grams, but more than held its weight as it took on 112.58 kilograms of pressure before collapsing in front of an enthusiastic crowd of students, parents, teachers and onlookers.

Dessert took home $1,500 in first place winnings, courtesy of the event’s title sponsor, the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia.

Fellow Lumby student Brendan Mattenley, Grade 9, was awarded third place with a 962.44 gram bridge that held 63.10 kilograms.

Second place went to the Okanagan College team led by Glenn Watson, whose 970.64 gram bridge held 70.92 kilograms.

Students from Charles Bloom Secondary are historically strong competitors, typically ranking high in the Secondary category contest results.

Creating engineering marvels out of a common kitchen staple is the order of the day at the Spaghetti Bridge contest.

ERIC Chovancak makes sure his team’s spaghetti bridge is lined up perfectly at the 2014 Spaghetti Bridge Build-

ing Contest, which was held last Friday at Okanagan College. Chovancak’s team from Okanagan College finished in second place, supporting 70.92 kg of weight. James Dessert, of Lumby, won first place after his bridge supported 112.58 kg. Brendan Mattenley, of Lumby, took third as his bridge was able to hold 63.1 kg.

This year, 186 students participated in building bridges in either the demonstration or competition categories.

The Spaghetti Bridge world record of 443.58 kilograms was established in Kelowna in 2009 by a team from Hungary and remains intact.

Snelson wants new trial moved from Kelowna Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The man charged with the 1993 killing of Jennifer Cusworth is applying to have his trial moved out of Kelowna.

Neil George Snelson appeared in court via video Monday morning to schedule his upcoming manslaughter trial, but

that was delayed until April 14 when a change of venue application will be heard.

Although the court has yet to learn where Snelson’s defence would prefer to hold the trial, the victim’s mother, Jean Cusworth, has heard rumours that Kamloops is the preferred venue.

It’s a change she said she could live with. If Vancouver

were chosen, however, that could pose a problem.

“Too many people have to travel too far for it,” she said.

Cusworth, who lives out of town, will return to Kelowna for the April 14 change of venue hearing and will attend every subsequent court date, regardless of the location.

Snelson was arrested in 2009

for Cusworth’s then cold-case killing. He was convicted of manslaughter in 2011, but late last year he won an appeal when the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled the trial judge erred in allowing a specific piece of evidence.

Jennifer Cusworth was found beaten and strangled after a Kelowna house party in 1993. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Queensway transit exchange to get upgrade this summer

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

The planned facelift for Kelowna’s downtown transit exchange will be unveiled for the public Thursday.

The City of Kelowna, BC Transit and design consultants VIA Architecture and MMM Group will host an open house March 13 on Queensway, in front of City Hall.

A $5.6-million improvement of the

Queensway transit exchange and road upgrades in the area are slated to begin this summer as part of the second and third phases of the RapidBus project.

The city says the improvements will provide ease of transfer with amenities offering a comfortable and convenient environment for transit riders, operators and security personnel. Completion of the work is scheduled for this September.

Features of the revamped exchange will include: • A new all-weather structure on the existing bus island platform • A new permanent structure for bus operator facilities and a security office that provides surveillance of the entire site • New sidewalks, lighting, plantings, signs and public art • New RapidBus stops between Pandosy and Water Streets

• A roundabout at the intersection of Water Street and Queensway Avenue The open house will be held Thursday, from noon to 5:30 p.m.

The public is invited to view the preferred design concept for improved transit amenities and road infrastructure on Queensway between Ellis and Water Streets.

Information about service changes during construction this summer, in-

cluding a temporary transit exchange southbound on Ellis Street between Doyle and Bernard Avenues, will also be available.

A number of longrange city planning initiatives form the basis of the design for the area, including the recently adopted Downtown Plan, Kelowna’s 2030 Official Community Plan and the Transit Future Plan.

Kelowna RapidBus is a partnership be-

tween Transport Canada, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the City of Kelowna, District of West Kelowna, the Westbank First Nation and BC Transit.

In total, the project will receive up to $46 million from federal, provincial and local partners, with Ottawa contributing up to $10.9 million from the Building Canada Fund and another $6 million from the Gas Tax Fund.

The province is providing $23.9 million, while Kelowna is putting in $5.2 million.

West Kelowna is contributing land for the new bus system.

Rapid Bus will eventually move bus riders quickly between Westbank in West Kelowna and the UBCO campus via downtown Kelowna.

Marijuana grow op goes up in flames

WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

OKANAGAN COLLEGE was busy Saturday as visitors gathered

to buy, sell and trade seeds. The sale included certified organic, rare, unusual, open pollinated and heritage seeds.

Kelowna firefighters managed to knock down flames caused by a marijuana grow operation on McKay Avenue early Saturday morning.

Kelowna Fire Department received 911 calls to report a fire at 582 McKay Ave. at 5:42 a.m. Saturday.

The first arriving engine reported the detached garage was fully involved.

Upon arrival, the owner quickly explained that there was a grow operation in the garage.

Firefighters were able to knock down flames quickly and contain the fire to the structure; the garage was completely lost in the blaze.

WATER AUTHORITY UBC research helps protect public water supplies UBC Engineering Professor Rehan Sadiq is working with researchers from Canada, China, Australia, and Saudi Arabia on issues related to the reliability of water supply systems. Dr. Sadiq is an international authority on environmental risk analysis and asset management of water supply infrastructure. His focus is on determining the likelihood of water deterioration and tracking potential human health risks.

Dr. Sadiq is the 2014 Researcher of the Year at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

Two occupants were in the house at the time of the fire.

One complained of chest pain and was looked

after by BC Amublance Service.

FortisBC disconnected the power.

Since the cause of the

fire is due to the grow op, there will be no investigation conducted, according to KFD platoon captain Dale Calhoun.

tried several times to secure provincial or federal grants to rebuild the Mission Creek Bridge, but has failed to land any money for it. The bridge has had problems in the past with flood damage during heavy spring run off times.

Following the last rejection of a grant request, the city decided to go it alone because it felt, as a major traffic corridor in the Mission, it could not wait any longer to do the work.

In the 2014 budget, council gave staff the financial green light to do the work this year. The additional money needed for the project will come from several city reserve funds, meaning the increase will not have a direct impact on taxes this year.

But some of the extra money will come from other city projects that were slated to start this year, such as the plan to start repaving city parking lots.

Irani said once work on the Lakeshore project begins, the city will have a set timeframe between the end of May and August to rebuild the bridge over Mission Creek because of provincial requirements.

The road and creek crossing are expected to be closed for about five months and during that detours will be well marked, sending traffic to different roads, including Gordon Drive.

Despite the increase in cost, the project got a thumbs up from council.

‘It’s a great project and much needed in the area,” said Coun. Robert Hobson.

Hobson added he was glad to see the city doing it all now rather than stretching the work out over a few years, despite the fact the work is “draining” city reso urces. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

offer multi-millions spin-off Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

When Skate Canada brings the world’s best figure skaters to Kelowna, the financial spin-off will amount to millions, say event organizers.

“We are anticipating 20,000 tickets sold in the region and a $5 million economic impact,” said Mark Halliday, the chief marketing officer for Skate Canada, when he spoke last Friday at a Kelowna Chamber of Commerce meeting.

The Skate Canada International event, which will debut at Prospera Place from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, should also lead to further rewards due to its profile.

As top figure skaters are featured in head-to-head competition an international audience will be able to tune in to any number of broadcasters that carry the event and catch a glimpse of the Okanagan. That could amount to further tourism dollars.

If all goes well, the event will also showcase Kelowna’s hosting capabilities and that, in turn, could lead to further high profile events headed to the Okanagan.

The skating event has a value beyond dollars and cents, however, said Halliday.

That is demonstrated when skaters take part in the communities they’re competing in.

“We have a great group of athletes who are good looking and well-spoken,” he said, adding that hospital visits are among the possible options for community involvement by the skates.

The event is first to receive funding from the City of Kelowna through its Strategic Development Fund, which was established, in part, to attract and secure large scale events that will enhance the community and create a dynamic environment.

▼ SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Safeway raises money for athletes Barry Gerding EDITOR

Being a Special Olympian has changed Ryan Courtemanche’s life since he found an avenue to pursue his athletic interests back in 1988.

Since then, Courtemanche has competed at various levels at national and international Special Olympics across Canada and around the world, winning some 180 medals in a variety of sports from softball and swimming to powerlifting and alpine skiing.

At age 38, Courtemanche has taken up golf, which he calls his favourite sport, now that it has been adopted as a Special Olympics event.

He will be competing for the B.C. provincial team on the links for Special Olympics Canada 2014 to be hosted in Vancouver, the first National Games competition to be hosted by our province since 1990.

“I have had a lot of support in Special Olympics from my parents, people I competed with and against…it has enriched my life,” Courtemanche said.

He was born in Burnaby and moved to Alberta before his family settled in Prince George, where Courtemanche had his first exposure to the Special Olympics in alpine skiing.

He moved to Kelowna in 1997 to enhance his Special Olympics opportunities where he could participate in other sports.

Besides working for Sears in Kelowna, the Special Olympics exposure resulted in Courtemanche meeting his fiancé, also a Special Olympian, and the two plan to get married on Aug. 11, 2015.

“I’ve also had a lot of support from my father-in-law because he sits on the Special Olympics board,” he said.

BARRY GERDING/EDITOR

ON HAND for official launch last Friday of fundraising campaign in support of

Special Olympic athletes at Dilworth Safeway store were (from left) athletes Ryan Courtemanche and Joanna Morris, Safeway assistant manager Marnie Millership and Safeway staff charity captain Brian Cranton.

Courtemanche was joined by fellow Special Olympian Joanna Morris to help kick off the fundraising campaign initiated by the Safeway store staff on Highway 97 North in support of athletes and programs.

From now until March 21, Safeway customers are invited to donate $2 to the campaign and in return they will receive five AirMiles Reward Miles.

As well, Stewart Geis, who works in the store meat department, has designed a Special Olympics shield fridge magnet, called “The Heart of a Snowflake,” to symbolize how special Special Olympic athletes are.

The fridge magnets will be on sale as well at the store.

Brian Cranton, the Safeway store charity captain, said the shield has six arms of the snowflake holding a flame. The first five arms symbolize the Olympic rings, the sixth arm represents the fact

Special Olympics athletes are indeed special.

Last year, the Highway 97 store raised

$2,020 for Special Olympics, and $419,595 was raised at other stores across Western Canada.

▼ OUR VIEW

Really, no tax increases?

O

ne of the messages that our local MLA, Premier Christy Clark, has been touting in recent weeks is that our province has a balanced budget and the government is not increasing taxes.

If you pound that message home enough, we taxpayers will believe it. History tells political operatives that it works.

So when are we going to start demanding that politicians tell it like it is, or is it a case that voters just can’t handle the truth?

The reality of the fiscal world

that our government lives in is that we are being hit by tax increases everywhere we look, it just falls under different terminology.

NDP leadership hopeful Michael Farnworth was quoted this week as saying “people are being gouged” and “Premier Clark is making life less affordable for British Columbians.”

Why does he say that? Because of the money being removed from our wallets.

A carton of cigarettes costs $3.20 more this year than it

did last year. Perhaps in that case, there is little sympathy for smokers.

But consider as well increases in property, sales, fuel, carbon and income taxes.

Medical Services Plan premiums have shot up six, four and four per cent in the last three years. BC Hydro is pushing for a 28 per cent rate increase over the next five years, with the government taking $1.2 billion out of hydro and transferring it directly into general revenue.

ICBC basic premiums

climbed 4.9 per cent three months ago, with the auto insurance corporation to transfer $480 million to the government coffers. And there are increases in ferry rates and post-secondary tuition. On it on it goes.

Perhaps these steps are necessary to allow the quality of life we demand government provide. An argument can be made for that. Just stop the no tax increase political malarkey and keep in mind our wages are not keeping up to government spending demands.

Lack of objections shows public OK with proposed cop shop

In total, pand or improve it. about 50 people turned out.

It’s little wonder. The existing After the first hour, when most RCMP detachment building was who did attend at the Royal Anne Ho- built when the city had a population tel downtown showed up, the city of just 14,000 people. It is now well staff, RCMP officials and consultants over 100,000 and, thanks to a consulton hand pretty much had the room to ant hired by the city a few years ago, themselves. it also now has a growing police force

paid for by the taxpayers but provided by the RCMP. As repeatedly pointed out by city officials, building a police station is nothing like building an office building.

A modern day detachment building—or public safety building as those in the know like to call these places—is a high-tech, multi-use fortress that has to not only serve as everything from the aforesaid office building, to a laboratory, to a library, to a highly secure storage facility and, oh yea, a prison for the bad folks the cops catch on a near daily basis. And on top of that, the building has to be able to withstand a disaster that would knock out lesser buildings around it.

So, while the way the city is going

about “gaining” public approval for borrowing $42 million of the $48 million it needs for construction may be suspect—the infamous negative-option billing method only municipalities are allowed to use called “the alternate approval process”—the project itself is long overdue.

The city, quite rightly, figured if it did not act, the RCMP will do it for them and hand them the bill. As part of its contract with the national police force, the city has to provide a proper working detachment building and the existing one just doesn’t cut it any more.

So for two years, city staff, the RCMP and their consultants have been working on what the building needs—right down to room size and

individual department requirements.

And the list is long—1,000 pages according to one city official.

The city is using a design-build approach, so it will be up to the teams of builders, architects and engineers interested to come up with the final design.

But, while a second open house was scheduled for late yesterday afternoon, the lack of people who showed up last week at the first one would indicate the need for a bigger, better cop shop in Kelowna is already understood by the public. a Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS

A Gift in Memory City-owned properties meant for all to use Makes a Difference To the editor: I have lived in the South Pandosy area for years, and look forward to the Cedar Avenue Park becoming a reality. The properties included in this proposal were assembled specifically for that purpose over several decades.

They were bought and paid for by the taxpayers, not the dozen or so special

interest groups included in the recent charette!

Cities have always had the responsibility to provide basic services to their citizens: Roadways, sewer and water, sidewalks, and yes, parks.

City staff and councils over the years, must have anticipated the expense of turning this block of land into a park. Proper civic

management and budgetary considerations would have made the suggestion that we need commercial development to fund the construction of the park irrelevant. It is interesting to note that sizeable funds have been found in recent times for the Ben Lee Park, Stuart Park and various “multi-use corridors.”

The structure of this

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

charrette—the stacking of the participants, the lack of choice on the MindMixer website options, lack of true public input and extremely short timeline—confirm the suspicion that there is a hidden agenda at work here that is meant to provide opportunity for developers who would like to cash in on the taxpayers’ investment.

None of the manipulations surrounding this of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen issue would have been possible without the assistance of some people at City Hall. Perhaps the voting public should look at this more closely before the next election.

▼ GUESSTIMATE NUMBERS

Alternative approval based on smoke & mirrors To the editor: Re: The Alternative Approval Elector Response Form.

I object to the process that is being used to gain the approval of the electorate to construct a new Police Services Building.

The process is undemocratic on two points.

First, the process asks electors to be against a proposition whereas democracy should be built upon being in favour of a proposition.

Second, the means of determining the success

or failure of the process is based upon an estimate and not an exact number.

Because the City of Kelowna does not maintain a list of registered voters, any estimate of how many voters there are or may be in the city is just a guess.

And any percentage of that number is also just a guess.

As a person qualified to be on the municipal voters list, I cannot go to City Hall and register to vote in a municipal election for this reason. Nor can any other qualified

person go and register to vote, either as an owner of property or as a resident elector. All because the city does not maintain an accurate and up-to-date list of registered electors.

Without a list of registered electors, the city cannot accurately claim that the number of signatures collected and received by the city fails to exceed the required percentage to force a referendum by ballot.

In fact, the only list of registered electors the city has, and is a valid list of

electors, is the list of voters that registered to and voted in the last municipal election. And as that number of electors is considerably less than the estimated number of potential qualified voters, the number of signatures collected and received by the city has a greater potential of exceeding the minimum required to force a ballot.

Mayor Walter Gray was not put into office by an estimated number of votes. There are a factual and accurate number

of votes cast in his favour over all other candidates for mayor.

The same applies to each councillor. Each was put into office by a factual and accurate number of votes cast in his or her favour over all the other candidates.

These were votes cast by qualified registered electors and not by estimated potential electors.

Local postal union objects to service cuts To the editor: What do world class cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and dozens of municipalities across the country know that our Kelowna city council does not?

CUPW has approached city council on two occasions seeking permission to address council in regards to recent Canada Post service cuts. This has been done with the hope that local politicians will pass a resolution asking Canada Post to delay implementation of their plan to eliminate door-to-door service until such time as proper consultations are done, consultations required by the Canadian Postal Charter, with the citizens of this city.

Before Canada Post announced the service cuts, they consulted just

40 communities across the country, and these consultations were conducted by invitation only, a blatant violation of the postal charter, ensuring a stacked deck.

When local council was approached their response was that it was none of council’s business, it was a federal issue, and they did not have the time to hear the people of Kelowna’s concerns regarding these cuts.

These service cuts will affect virtually every citizen living in the valley.

Whether it be the loss of decent paying jobs, the impact on direct mail advertisers and local small businesses, increased hardship for the elderly and disabled, these changes will result in tens of millions of dollars being removed from the local economy—directly and

indirectly.

Again I ask: What do literally dozens of municipalities across the country know that (Mayor) Walter Gray and company do not? Is it the fact that it is their job to represent all the citizens of Kelowna who will be impacted by these cuts?

An internal Canada Post study was released to CUPW. This report, with 700 of the 800-odd pages blacked out, clearly showed that Canada Post recognized these cuts to be unnecessary, that there were better alternatives available to prevent the loss of services across this country. Unfortunately, political considerations led to this report being suppressed until now.

I would suggest to the mayor that there will be plenty of time to approve office towers on our lake

shore land later. In the meantime, I would ask council to listen to the citizens of Kelowna, something they were elected to do, and allow CUPW to present to council. The council of Kelowna might just be surprised by what

▼ 9TH STAGE OF LIFE

Finding the calm when losing a sense of control W ‘‘ hen you are in the eye of a hurricane, finding a quiet centre where all feels stable is a test of one’s character.

But surely, it has to also be an amazing opportunity for growth as well.

While our individual life experiences are each unique, there must be a thread that weaves through the fabric of those experiences that is universal to us all.

Pardon the philosophic banter, but as my days have become entwined with the fabric of my mom’s life completion, I frequently find myself laying quietly in my bed late at night after a day’s flurry of changing events, asking the question: “What is this all for?”

There must be a greater purpose to it all. I am willing to be with it, but

what is “it?”

As each day seems to rob my mom of yet another once routine physical capability, I observe her reaction to it all as this loss of control affects her demeanour and sense of engagement with me and with life.

I awoke one morning last week intuitively guided to read Joan Erikson’s writings on the 9th stage of life.

After the death of her husband, Erik Erickson, she came to realize that their conceptualization of the eighth developmental stage, where we struggle with integrity versus despair, had rather missed the mark.

After observing and sharing this period of time with Erik before his passing, she came to believe that we as individuals confront all previous

SENIORS’ CONCERNS

Marjorie Horne eight stages of development again at this time of life, but with them all converging together at the same time one right after the other.

On top of that, this time the negative pole now takes the dominant role over the positive.

As increasing loss of physical ability occurs, elders often begin to mistrust themselves and their environment.

Their sense of autonomy is continually whittled away, and this state of being dependent on others and completely “in their

hands” can leave an aging elder in a state of dependency that leads to despair.

I saw this happen last night as the dear palliative care nurse and I went through a process of turning my mom’s ability to go to the bathroom on her own over to a catheter.

The struggle of losing this sense of control immediately made her angry and she began to lash out at these “hands” that were trying to help her.

At the end of the ordeal, when the room was once again quiet and we were alone, I sat and began to massage her hands.

I saw the look of fear on her face as she grappled with this state she was finding herself in.

She abruptly pulled her hand away and held it up to her chest.

I asked her: “Do you

not want me to massage you anymore?”

Without speaking, she stretched out her hand again into mine and although tense, I began to feel her release as I once again began to rub it gently.

The moment of taking in all that was happening was overwhelming for both her and for me.

Not knowing what else to do, I laid my head on her shoulder, more as a way to tell her I felt helpless, but that I loved her and was here for her.

She began to softly stroke my hair and I felt the tears that I have been holding in for a couple of weeks start to come.

She said quietly to me, “Everything is going to be OK.” In that incredible moment of connection, I felt the fear in both of us leave

MY MOTHER’S TOUCH IN THAT MOMENT… LIFTED HER FROM DESPAIR BACK TO HOPE AND TRUST.

and for that moment, the despair left her and something different came to take its place that was calm and good.

So is this what it’s all about? The “hands” of those that care for people as they come to this final 9th stage of life, at whatever time that is, must be hands that hold a deep willingness and desire for connection.

As we understand this magnificent gift that is available to us when we

are supporting someone at the end of their life, I believe we will then be better able to support them to continue their own roles in whatever way they can to the end.

My mother’s touch in that moment was not only what I unknowingly needed, but in that moment I also felt that it lifted her from despair back to hope and trust.

Experiencing the joy of this tapestry interweaving between us and allowing this connection to happen is most certainly of great purpose, no matter how much pain is also involved in the process.

▼ HEALTH

Healthy policies promote healthy hearts Kerri Wall CONTRIBUTOR

September 9 - 13

Over 3500 BC 55+ Seniors expected to attend.

What’s happening in your region?

Get involved. We’ll show you how.

Maintaining and improving our health and the health of our loved ones is important.

There are memories to make, projects to complete and relationships to savour.

Thankfully, the Heart and Stroke Foundation tells us there is much about our personal health that is within our control.

If we do not smoke, control our use of alcohol, manage our weight, engage in regular physical activity and learn to manage stress, the likelihood of having heart problems decreases dramatically. This is good news.

Our personal routines and

habits play an important role in keeping us healthy but most of us also need support and encouragement from those around us.

I never learned to meditate until I had a friend invite me to take a course with her. And that same friend never used to swim but now comes to the pool with me every week.

But it’s not just about social support. Policies that promote healthier foods and environments help create healthier people.

Our environments play a big role in our ability to adopt healthy habits and stick with them.

Many local governments around British Columbia are passing smoke-free bylaws.

Communities such as Sal-

mon Arm, Revelstoke and Penticton have all passed bylaws that restrict smokers from lighting up in parks, sports fields and playgrounds.

Perhaps surprisingly, research is showing that smokers are among the people that support these bylaws the most.

By creating more smoke free environments we reduce the risks of second-hand smoke and reduce the likelihood the next generation will see smoking as socially acceptable.

Policies that target the food industry can also improve health.

A recent study concluded people who get 25 per cent or more of their daily calories from added sugar are three times more

likely to die of heart disease.

Reducing added sugar in foods can help reduce the risk of heart disease; that’s why the Canadian Medical Association, the Childhood Obesity Foundation and the Canadian Institute for Health Research are all calling for regulations on the amount of sugar the food industry can add to items like pop, juice and cereal.

Healthy policies like these make it easier for us all to make healthier choices. Heart disease is largely avoidable when we all do our parts—both individually and together.

Adjusting to the changing face of our entrepreneurial world

T

his week, I feel less a columnist and more as a reporter because I can’t wait to share with you some research concerning the changing face of the entrepreneurial world.

As that world evolves over the next 10 years and beyond, successful entrepreneurs will be far more reliant on technology than their current counterparts.

They will be more connected in a mobile world; market to customers in ways only imagined today and blur the lines between our virtual and physical worlds.

A U.S. study donein 2007 that I recently came across really made me sit up and take notice of how technology will propel and transform the entrepreneurial and small business sector in our world.

It appears there will be three key milestones to embrace—a changing façade, a dramatic rise of personal business and a dramatic emergence of entrepreneurship educa-

tion. I would like to share some of the interesting items I pulled from this study that I think offer much cause for thought heading into our entrepreneurial future.

Over the next decade, entrepreneurs will be far more diverse than their predecessors in age, origin and gender.

These shifts in ownership will create new unforeseen opportunities for many, and will change the face of our nation and even the global economy.

A new breed of entrepreneur will emerge.

Entrepreneurs will no longer come predominantly from the middle of the age spectrum, but instead from the edges.

▼ AGRI-TOURISM

Focus on food evolving for visitors Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

For many farmers, the days of simply tending their fields are coming to an end.

Increasingly, they are also finding themselves tending to the needs of visitors who want to see what farmers do, where their food comes from and how it is produced.

Agri-tourism is becoming big business as the public becomes more aware of food production, more concerned about the quality and content of their food.

In turn that has opened new opportunities for farmers in areas like the

Okanagan.

In order to help local farmers develop their business planning skills to take advantage of agri-tourism opportunities here, the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission has been running a program for the last few years that helps farmers prepare by developing a skill set to take advantage of the fact farming is something visitors want to know about and see in action.

“It’s proving very popular,” said Tracey Fredrickson, business enhancement specialist with the COEDC. Fredrickson runs the EDC’s agri-tourism busi-

ness planning project.

She works directly with project participants on preparing detailed business plans, making connections with local industry experts in areas like tourism, zoning and landuse regulations, marketing, financial management and insurance.

A large roster of speakers is also brought in to help participants learn not only what they need to do to keep visitors happy, but also what it takes to make their business thrive.

“A good business plan is crucial,” said Helen Kennedy, owner of Arlo’s Honey Farm, who spoke to the participants at an EDC presentation,

Kennedy said she has found it important to not only give visitors the best experience possible when visiting her bee farm but also connect with other, complementing farms and businesses, branch out into a variety of products and be keenly aware of what she is doing at all times.

She said it’s important that farmers be focused not only on their farm operations but also on the needs of the people who will visit.

“These are the people you want to keep coming back,” she said.

This year the EDC’s program includes the owners of six farms local

And, as to be expected with a variety of participants, each with a different type of farm and different products to offer, each has their own story to tell and build on.

Participants receive workbooks with topics to work through, they get one-on-one coaching and sessions are held every two weeks over the course of the year.

Prior to Kennedy’s presentation, several participants spoke abut their experience with the project over the last 12 months, and all had praise for the program.

“I know we got a lot out of it,” said Glenn Cross, who along with his wife Loretta owns and operates Function Junction and Double Cross Cidery.

While he said it is much more work than simply growing apples, the work has paid of in sales, particularly to other provinces.

market will spark the most entrepreneurial generation ever.

Here is an interesting item that, frankly, doesn’t s really surprise me at all— entrepreneurship will ree flect an upswing among a women.

The so-called glass s ceiling that has limited - women’s corporate career paths will send more e women to the small busis ness sector.

I, for one, rejoice in this aspect as nationally, r our statistics have, for a number of years highlighted women successes in business start-ups and longevity track.

I found this projection quite informative as I am currently interacting with three immigrant entrepreneurs over the past month that have moved to the Okanagan.

Immigrant entrepreneurs will help drive a new wave of globalization as there are those thought.

Already, this new category of Canadian entrepreneur are the fastest-growing segment of small business ownership today.

Immigrants are increasingly turning to entrepreneurship to steer around traditional barriers of entry to the workplace.

Although they bring education, professional experience and a developed network to their

adopted Canadian landscape, often their professional assets do not always translate into value across cultural boundaries.

But immigrant entrepreneurs frequently have contacts in their native countries as well as Canada.

This provides them with the opportunity to create entrepreneurial ventures that link markets.

In his book “The World Is Flat,” author Thomas Friedman claims we’ve entered a new phase of globalization in that we are well into a newfound power of individuals to collaborate and compete globally.

With cross-border skills and contacts, Friedman says immigrants with small businesses are leveraging the connective technologies to exploit links across the globe.

As well, whether out of need or personal fulfillment, baby boomers will be healthy and productive enough to participate in the workforce well past traditional retirement ages.

Most will not want to work in traditional jobs.

They will look for more flexible and parttime work arrangements.

They will zero in on personal ventures and at times boomerang back to their previous employers as contractors or consultants.

They will join firms

aimed at social issues and build on hobbies that may evolve into entrepreneurial new ventures.

And there will be, I’m sure, a tasting of what we might call “accidental” entrepreneurs, those folks that leave closing factories and mills and are left with two choices—leave or start a personal business venture.

Often these workers may turn to contract work but, if there is not a market for their acquired skills, they invariably may turn to the world of entrepreneurship.

In the near future, I plan to present a workshop to a handful of such people where I will have the privilege of presenting the self-employment option.

The demographics of entrepreneurship ownership are rapidly changing.

Small businesses were traditionally started by non-corporate, middle-aged, white males.

This dramatic change in the face of the entrepreneurial landscape.

I predict it will undoubtedly become a boon to our socio-economic existence.

I hope to be around to enjoy it as I’m sure you do to.

Another second for Okanagan rink Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

In November, John Morris, Jim Cotter, Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky came within one game of representing Canada at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Five months later, the Vernon/Kelowna foursome has once again reluctantly settled for second best.

Alberta’s Kevin Koe scored a 10-5 victory over the Morris foursome Sunday night in the final of the 2014 Brier in Kamloops.

After B.C. scored a deuce in the first end, the Alberta champs exploited each and every mistake by their opponents to score triples each of the second, fifth and seventh ends en route to their second Brier title.

Both Morris and Cotter—a native of Kamloops and crowd favour-

ite all week at the Interior Savings Centre—couldn’t duplicate the play that had paced B.C. to a 9-2 round-robin record and a first-place finish.

“We got caught with the ice conditions,” said Cotter, from Vernon, who throws last rocks for B.C. “It’s not much fun right now but one day we’ll look back and be proud of this.

The Vernon/Kelowna crew was arguably one of the country’s most consistent rinks all season— finishing second only to Brad Jacobs at the Olympic trials Winnipeg and as the runner-up the Brier.

The Morris team also qualified in several World Curling Tour events and won the B.C. men’s title in convincing style.

While their latest loss will sting for some time, Griffith said 2013-14 will go down as an unforgettable season of curling.

“It’s been a pretty amazing year,” said Griffith, a former B.C. junior champ. “We played so well and we were right

where we wanted to be in those two big events. The hard part about it all is that we lost and that’s been pretty tough for all of us.

We worked really hard the last two months, but unfortunately just weren’t that sharp in the final.”

On the subject of

“It’s been a really natural fit playing with

“We’re all very good friends, easygoing personalities and it worked really well this year.”

Cotter, Morris and Sawatsky all made the first all-star team at the Brier, while Griffith made the second team.

Regular season winds down for CHL’s top team Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

The Kelowna Rockets have accomplished pretty much everything they set out to do during the 201314 Western Hockey League’s regular season.

Now, with the season winding down, the Canadian Hockey League’s top-ranked team will look to the set the stage for what the Rockets hope will be a long and prosperous playoff

run.

“I think in general you want to make sure you have everybody comfortable with their roles and what they’re going to be required to do for us to be successful,” said Rockets’ head coach Ryan Huska. “Our team game has to be good, we need to be playing well as a group of five. In the playoffs, you see a lot of one or two goals games, so special teams are also going to be critical. You want to be on top of your game in those areas.”

The Rockets (54-10-0-4) have four games remaining, including a Tuesday night home date with the Victoria Royals.

One of the top teams in the WHL this season, the Royals are 3-3-0-1 against Kelowna this season. “(The Royals) will be a good test for us,” Huska said. “They’re a very good hockey team, so it’s an opportunity for us to make sure we’re playing the right way. Victoria plays a good team game and they have a

pretty deep skill set.”

Kelowna will visit Kamloops on Wednesday, then will wrap up the regular season with two games against Vancouver—Friday at Pacific Coliseum, followed by Saturday at Prospera Place.

The Rockets are on the verge of locking up first place overall in the WHL and need just one more victory to clinch the title.

Kelowna will likely see the TriCity Americans in the opening round

of the playoffs.

COOKE NOMINATED…

Rockets’ stopper Jordon Cooke has been nominated for the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week award.

The 20-year-old Leduc, Alta. native posted a 2-0-0-0 record with a shutout in three appearances over the past week for the WHL-leading Rockets.

Cooke previously win the award for the week Oct. 21 to 27.

Owls vs Sardis in provincial opener Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Buzz Truss and Cooper Simson are among four Kelowna Owls who are heading into their final week of high school basketball.

With that in mind, the KSS seniors hope they’ve saved their best for last as the B.C. 4A boys’ championship tips off Wednesday in Langley.

Truss, the Owls’ captain who has experienced the atmosphere and intensity at two previous provincials championships, says its vital for his Owls to play focused, composed basketball.

“Mental toughness is definitely something that you need because of all the energy and hype coming into the tournament,” said Truss, who graduates along with Simson, Eli Cato and Liam Duncan.

“We just need to be able to focus on the goal ahead and not get too caught up in the moment, and don’t play worried or scared about missing shots.”

The Owls, ranked 10th in the province, will battle No. 7 Sardis Sec-

The teams met early in the season, with Sardis winning by 14 points.

Still, Simson said the Owls have improved as the season has progressed and expects KSS to give Sardis all it can handle.

“We’ve seen them, so

that’s going to help us,” said Simson. “We have different styles in that we’re a little smaller, faster and like to shoot more, where they’re a big team and pound it inside a lot more. I think it’s a good matchup, both teams have a good chance, but if we play our game, I think

we can come out on top.

We’ve practised a lot lately have been in a lot of tough games, so I think we’re ready.”

Truss agrees the Owls have come a long way as a team since January, including turning in a solid performance last month at the Western Canada Basketball Tournament.

KSS beat No. 4 Walnut Grove by 10 points, then pushed No. 6 Holy Cross in the final before falling by 12 points.

“It’s always a big boost to know we can defeat some of the top teams in the province and compete with them,” he said.

“Hopefully we can bring the energy that we did in the Western Canadian tournament and come up with some big shots, because I know our team can play with the best.”

Owls’ coach Harry Parmar, who will be leading KSS into provincials for the eighth straight year, said success for his squad will come down to two fundamental aspects.

“Composure and execution,” he said. “We need to play with composure, and also do what

Why do some stains reappear when I’ve had my carpet steam cleaned?

Some stains may reappear after using any method of carpet cleaning for various reasons.

The stain may be more visible under different lighting conditions or maybe the carpet cleaner could no longer see the spot and assumed it was removed. Other times the homeowner may have used spotting agents that leave a sticky residue. Or perhaps, and this is quite common, the spot was over wetted in an attempt to remove it driving it into the backing of the carpet. As the carpet dries the spot or stain will wick back up becoming visible again.

The Oxy-Dry system is very effective at permanently removing recurring stains using our SETT (Soil Extraction Transfer Technique) method. This method cleans the fibers repeatedly from all directions lifting out spots and stains left behind by other systems without over wetting or driving the stain deeper into the carpet fiber. Our green seal certified cleaning products are non residual and we always include our Durashield protector. To give you added assurance, we also include our exclusive 30 day warranty. Oxy-Dry cleans better, dries faster and lasts longer!

Q A

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage should be one of the first steps you take when buying a new home. By doing so you’ll know how much the Lender is willing to lend you and therefore, how much you can afford when looking for your new home. This will also allow you to lock in your interest rate at the current rate to protect you if interest rates rise.

Make sure you see a Licensed Mortgage Broker who can educate you on the process. It as offered as a free service so please don’t hesitate to get in touch should you have ANY questions.

Q A

My baby’s head has a funny shape.

The back of his head is flattened and one side of his forehead bulging. What should I do?

Your son may have plagiocephaly.

Positional plagiocephaly is an asymmetrical shape of the head that occurs from remaining too long in the same position. Plagiocephaly has become more common now that parents are taught to lay their children on their back for sleeping. Car seats that double as carrying and holding devices also cause babies to be in the same position for too long. Mild asymmetry may resolve with more tummy time, repositioning, and stretching exercises. More severe plagiocephaly may require a specially molded helmet made by a Certified Orthotist.

These helmets help shape your baby’s head and prevent further deformity.

If you are worried that your child may have plagiocephaly, ask your doctor or call us for a free consultation.

Q A

My parents really need help, but they won’t admit or accept help! What can I do?! I’m exhausted!

Not surprising that our parents don’t want to accept help when they’ve been the ones helping the family for so many years. Recent studies show that the #1 fear of aging is losing independence and the #2 fear is moving out of one’s home and into a nursing home. Here’s just a few of our many tips for this common question. You’ll need to decide which approach might be the best one in your individual situation.

• Ask them about their goals and fears. If their goal is to stay in their home, a discussion on how to keep them there may serve as a platform to get some help started.

• Hiring a caregiver to help with some of the household chores rather than hands on personal care is often an easier place to start.

Once a trusting relationship is built, they will be more open and accepting of help.

• Focus on YOU, the caregiver, needing the help so you’re not overtired or worrying too much about them while you’re at work or with your own family.

• Discuss money. It may be helpful to compare facility care vs. home care. The current generation has lived through world wars and the great depression. Spending their savings on themselves will be difficult unless they know you’d rather have them spend it achieving their goals as opposed to leaving it as an inheritance. Another option is paying for the service and eventually being reimbursed from the estate.

• Give them a potential out. Let’s try it for two months.

Often advice from a trusted professional, such as the family physician, or a care consult with Nurse Next Door will be the tipping point. You may find it easier for someone less emotionally involved to address the difficult topics. Our consults are free of charge and we’re here to help.

Ok Rockets sweep round one, Hawks are next up The Okanagan Rockets followed up a record-setting regular season with a dominant effort in the opening round of the B.C. Major Midget League playoffs.

The Rockets outscored the overmatched Fraser Valley Thunderbirds 17-2 over two games to sweep the best-of-three quarterfinal series 2-0.

“I’m really pleased with the way we played this weekend, I know most people felt we were

going to look past Fraser Valley, but as a staff we knew that this was an important weekend for us to establish our effort in the playoffs,” said Rockets’ GM David Michaud.

“I thought we played really well and were able to use our depth and roll our lines. Having the series finished in two games was key as well for us. It will allow us just a little extra rest and in the playoffs you take it where you can get it

The Rockets, who won a club record 32 games this season and finished second overall in the BCMML, subdued the seventh-place Thunderbirds 7-0 on Friday night at Prospera Place.

The top line of Tyson Jost, Liam Finlay, and Jake Kryski combined for four goals and 10 points.

Jost, the BCMML’s leading scorer with 44 regular season goals, and Finlay, each had two goals and two assists.

Linden Hora added a pair of goals for the Rockets, and while captain Branden Wagner had the single.

Brendan Barry stopped all 19 Thunderbirds shots in the Rockets net for the shutout.

On Saturday at the Capital News Centre, another blowout saw the Rockets prevail 10-2.

Jost was a catalyst again with two goals and four points, while Finley and Tanner Campbell

each added two goals and an assists. Cory Santoro scored twice while Mitchell Oliver and Jake Kryski rounded out the scoring.

Barry notched his second win in net, stopping 37 of 39 shots over the weekend.

The Rockets will take on the Valley West Hawks this weekend in the league semi-finals.

Game 1 goes Friday at 8 p.m., Game 2 goes Saturday at 3:30 p.m., and a third game, if needed, would be played Sunday

at 10 a.m. All games are set for CNC. The other semifinal will feature the defending champion Vancouver Northwest Giants and the Greater Vancouver Canadians.

33,843 pounds of food donated BCHL from A18 tive event in each BCHL city.

“The inaugural BCHL - Five Hole for Food Challenge was a huge success both for the amount

of food we were able to raise, and more importantly because we were able to bring communities together across B.C.,” said Five Hole for Food CEO and founder Richard Loat.

The goal next year is

for each team to improve on its total and to shatter the league mark set this season.

When the challenge was announced, the idea was for each BCHL city to try and top the others

for donations collected.

The big winners this season were the Chilliwack Chiefs who brought it a whopping 10,100 pounds for their local food bank on Dec. 29.

Top research awards handed out Civil and environmental engineer Rehan Sadiq was named Researcher of the Year at UBC’s Celebrate Research awards ceremony held last Friday.

Sadiq’s study is in the area of drinking water quality modelling, environmental risk assessment and decision-making, and asset management of civil infrastructure systems.

“I have always been very passionate about my research and I really enjoy the process,” said Sadiq, acting director of

the UBCO School of Engineering.

“It is my dream that UBCO emerges as a leader in research related to drinking water infrastructure management and environmental risk analysis. This award and recognition is a ‘feel good’ experience, but also humbling for me.”

Sadiq is applying his expertise to a new project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where water quality is a major issue, by evaluating potential water quality failures in distribution networks and

tracking potential human health risks.

The $450,000 research collaboration with King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) and Laval University will help the oilrich kingdom determine the potential for contamination in potable water distribution systems.

The objective is to develop a decision support tool that can determine the likelihood of contamination in the water distribution network; and risk assessment of contaminants traveling through the dis-

WARREN HENDERSON at whenderson@kelownacapnews.com or call 250.763.3212 The Capital News also welcomes contributed photos and write-ups from parents & coaches.

University Graduate Fellowships (2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013) and a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Postgraduate Scholarship for 2011-2014.

“Moving forward in my scientific career, I am keen to continue using cutting-edge genomic technology in order to learn more about the ecology and natural history of threatened species,” said Lemay, who credits associate professor Michael Russello for his guidance and support.

“There is very high-calibre research being carried out by graduate students and professors at this campus, and I feel lucky to be part of the scientific community here at UBCO.” Undergraduate Student Researcher of the Year is Megan Udala, an honours bachelor of arts student in the forensic psychology specialization program.

“UBC in the Okanagan is producing a lot of high-quality research, so to be recognized for some of the work I’ve done at the undergraduate level is a pretty cool experience,” said Udala.

“I’ve always been interested in law and psychology and I am very fortunate to have this pro-

gram available to me right in my backyard.

“Stephen Porter and his research team have been incredibly receptive and supportive of my academic pursuits and interests, allowing me the amazing opportunity to become deeply involved with research as an undergraduate student.”

Udala’s thesis examines misinformation effects in memory through two main studies. The first involves written descriptions of photographs to induce emotion. The second study involves auditory primes—participants hear a short sound clip designed to induce emotion before viewing the photograph.

Participants then listen to verbal narrations of the photograph, some containing incorrect or false information.

Participants undergo a memory recall test in which their general recollection accuracy is measured, as well as any incorporation of the false pieces of information.

Also among those honoured was ThreeMinute Thesis winner, graduate student Jennifer Forsythe of the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences for her presentation, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi: Nature’s Biofertilizer.

Community Connection MARCH 2014

WELCOME TO NORTH GLENMORE “It’s a great day for learning!”

Multiculturalism at North Glenmore Elementary By: Kelsey H. Imagine if you never had an education. That might seem nice for some, but think again. You would have no job and a hard time getting money to survive. This sounds terrible and it’s why our school has stepped up to assist Okello Sam an inspired individual from Uganda with his school, Hope North.

Thousands of young eager students have begun their education at Okello Sam’s school. Since Uganda is still a developing country, our school has filled 39 boxes of books and school supplies to help make a difference at Okello Sam’s school. Unlike some individuals from African countries, our school is very peaceful and creative Participating in the “Carnival of the Animals” Kelowna Community Theatre production has shown our teachers creativity after they’ve choreographed a beautiful ballet presentation for our assigned animal: the Swan.

To show that our school loves animals even more, 30 creative grade 4 students have been working with the artistic Ms.Manduca to create a sock monkey keepsake. These students help each other and treasure education just like those who attend Hope North School. We take school for granted, but imagine if you were someone with no chance.

Hoping for Hope North By: Sophie H. On February 20th Okello Sam came to our school, as a guest speaker with a very inspiring presentation, about his school. North Glenmore Elementary children decided if we donate our gently used books to Okello Sam’s school we could help them remarkably, because Uganda lacks supplies needed for a school. So far NGE has donated over 500 books to Hope North. Okello Sam has a very remarkable life story to tell. Okello Sam lives in civil war torn Uganda.

When he was sixteen he and his friends were abducted by rebel soldiers.

He and his friends became child soldiers. This means that a child is expected to shoot onsite and carry’s a loaded gun. This is not okay, children are supposed to be cared for and to be grown

A gift to Uganda

up in a safe environment.

Okello Sam escaped and ran to his uncle’s house in a slum area. He earned money by washing clothes and carrying water. He wanted to finish his education. Years later he opened the morning newspaper to find out that 300 people were killed and dismembered from his village.

He was so furious Okello decided he wanted to drive into the war zone so he would be killed. Nearing his destination Okello stopped in his tracks, he decided he needed to do something good. That day he had just bought some land in a safe area protected by the Nile River. He built a school called Hope North, it also

shelters vulnerable children affected by poverty and civil war, and educates them for the future. Hope North is a very special school not only does it teach basic primary education but it also teaches children how to build a house, grow crops, and cooking. You can learn more about Hope North at www.HOPENORTH.ca.

Keeping up with technology at NGE

MEET OUR NEWSPAPER TEAM (from left to right: backrow- Jad, Sophia L., Kelsey, Sophie H., Finlay, Mrs. Lesiuk. Front row- Cade and Tate) .

By Cade.D North Glenmore Elementary has been able to give its students what they need to learn and thrive in a school environment.

North Glenmore strives to always be one step ahead in new technology learning.

North Glenmore’s goal is to have all the characteristics of a twenty-first century learner, which are innovator, learner, contributor, and collaborator. Investments in new technology such as document cameras, smart boards, and iPads, the school has given students many more opportunities to feature these characteristics.

We had the chance to ask Principal (Maeve Buckley) and Vice-Principal (Jordan Kleckner) about how technology can influence students and even teachers learning in the near future.

1. What was the main influence to purchase thirty new iPads?

The Principal and Vice Principal agreed that they

both wanted to help students gain knowledge much more efficiently than when students had use encyclopedias. Now students have endless opportunities to find helpful information using technology. Though academics are important to North Glenmore Elementary, creativeness is equally important. With the many new technologies introduced to North Glenmore, Miss Buckley and Mr. Kleckner concluded that technology can be beneficial to the academic side of North Glenmore as well as the creative side for all learners.

2. What are some of the benefits and future benefits you hope and expect to see from the new investment of iPads?

They both stated that iPads can create many more choices in their students learning which equals many more unique final school products and final projects.

One of the many choices students have is becoming

IPADS IN ACTION at North Glenmore Elementary. and creating more skills for being a global citizen.

The Principal and VicePrincipal have agreed that students can build the skills for the future in school and out of school.

3. If the technology is beneficial, will you invest further?

They both responded that the technology investments are ongoing investments because the world is changing and inventing new things every day.

4. How do you think iPads and technology will impact students and teachers learning?

We learned that it has

been easier to teach and learn than it has ever been in North Glenmore Elementary and schools worldwide. It’s been able to give teachers the ability to differentiate their teaching and gives students many more opportunities to show what they have learned.

Twenty-first century learning is a very important goal to North Glenmore Elementary and District #23.

This goal has not only been met, but has been exceeded.

It seems there will be no stop in investments to better students and help them meet their full potential.
