Three students New UBC president visits local campus run over on way to school ▼ UBC OKANAGAN
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The new president of the University of British Columbia says he’s impressed by what the Okanagan campus of the university he is about to lead has done in its short nineyear history. Arvind Gupta was introduced as UBC’s 13th president and vice-chancellor Wednesday at events in Vancouver and Kelowna. Gupta told the gathering at the UBCO campus his is impressed not only with the campus itself, but also by the work and commitment of its faculty and the spirit of its students. “It’s evident we’re going to succeed here,” said Gupta, who will officially take over from the departing Stephen Toope in July. Toope, who is leaving to head the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs after eight years leading UBC, was credited by Gupta in his remarks for moving UBC from what he called a regional powerhouse to an international powerhouse. Gupta deferred questions about his vision for the university until after he has had a chance to settle in and talk with students, staff and faculty at both campuses about where they see the university going. But he did note that

During his remarks in Kelowna Wednesday afternoon, Gupta noted the pride he said he saw in people here during a
recent vacation when it came to talking about the fact UBC has a campus here. “People here talk with pride about having the university in their community,” said Gupta, a renowned expert in research and innovation policy who has forged close collaborations between universities, civil society and business. He said that is not the
same in Vancouver. “You don’t hear people in the grocery story (in Vancouver) saying they are proud UBC is there,” said Gupta. He said that sense of pride felt here is something the university can build on and it shows how connected the university is to the community. Gupta is a UBC computer science professor and is currently chief
executive officer and scientific director of Mitacs, a not-for-profit organization recognized internationally for nurturing the next generation of research and business-savvy innovators. His five-year term as president will start on July 1. The UBC board of governors made the ap-

Three Grade 7 girls who were struck by a car while en route to school Wednesday morning will need some time to heal from the injuries they incurred, say school officials. “Two of them were quite banged up in terms of bumps and bruises,” said Hugh Gloster, superintendent of the Central Okanagan School District. “The third girl; her face made contact with the pavement and she had some more issues in terms of dental work.” Mounties confirmed late Wednesday afternoon that broken bones were among the list of injuries for two of the children, but that none of their wounds were life threatening. The “health and well-being” of all involved is paramount to the school district, said Gloster, noting that they intend to deal with the emotional fallout of the crash by sending counsellors to the school. The girls were hit by a car at the intersection of Gerstmar and Graham as they headed toward Springvalley Middle School just before 9 a.m. Wednesday. Mounties made it to the scene shortly thereafter, and closed a portion of Graham Road so their reconstructionists could piece together what caused the driver to run into the trio of children. While some have speculated that the 28-year-old female driver’s car had a foggy windshield, police have yet to confirm that theory. They also haven’t said whether they will approve charges against her. Const. Kris Clark did say that he didn’t believe the children were hit in an area with a marked speed limit of 30 km/h. They also weren’t hit at a marked crosswalk. It is, however, an area that has been of some concern in the past, according to area residents. To that end, Gloster said that a school traffic safety officer was dispatched to the scene to assist RCMP and assess the needs of the area. He pointed out that to date, the area has been no more problematic than any number of other roads in

Artist proud to see her designs on coin series Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kendra Dixson has been using sweeping brush strokes to depict Canada’s hulking mountain landscapes for years, but recently her art took a turn toward pocket-sized. This month the Royal Canadian Mint released two coins designed by the Kelowna artist as part of its O’Canada series. “It’s so exciting,” said Dixson. “I’m going to have to buy them. So far I’ve just gone to the post office to see them.” The mint produced 40,000 $10 coins, and 8,500 $25 coins with Dixson’s snowy ski scenes on the face. “It’s so amazing to see the snowy trees all shiny and silver,” she said. The end product is creating excitement in the Dixson home today, but the coins are the culmination of work that started a year ago. “Last May I got a call out of the blue from the Canadian Mint, and I was asked to design some coins for the O’Canada series,” said Dixson. The Mint required

KENDRA Dixson holds up two coins produced by the Royal Canadian Mint that she designed as part of the O’Canada Series. that she design two series of art for two collectors’ coins, with the snowy mountain landscapes she specializes in as her muse. “They had asked a few other artists to make submissions, as well,” she
said, adding that they all were given a two week timeframe to submit some mock-ups. Working from photos she’d taken herself, Dixson started painting a skier in a snowy landscape.
Given that the Mint has to translate submitted art into something that can be reproduced in 3D on the face of a coin, they asked that she use pencil drawings. Dixson is a watercolour painter, how-
ever, so she stuck with what she knew. Deviating from the set parameters didn’t seem to hurt, as she got word two weeks later that her work would be featured. The $10 silver coin
was engraved using a watercolour painting depicting a skier floating through champaign powder. “The soft snowy slope contrasts with the steep rocky mountains in the backdrop and gives some suspense as to what terrain the skier will find over the ridge,” she explained on her website. The $25 silver collector’s coin was engraved from a watercolour painting depicting a skier making first tracks on a gorgeous sunny day in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. “It appears as though the skier is floating on air and indeed that is how it feels to ski on fresh powder.” The coins will never jingle away in someone’s pocket, but they will be prized possessions for collectors across the country and that’s something that resonates with Dixson. “I feel really proud of this,” she said. “It’s a huge honour to be asked to do this. If my grandpa were still alive he’d be so proud of me.” To learn more about Dixson’s art, go to http:// kendraart.com.

Yacht club to form partnership with Cactus Club Cafe The Kelowna Yacht Club, one of city’s oldest non-profit organizations, plans to team up with a popular restaurant chain for its new club building currently under construction. The Cactus Club Cafe will open a Kelowna waterfront restaurant on the first floor of the new Kelowna Yacht Club building on Water Street. “We are building the premiere development on Kelowna’s lakefront and were determined to attract an operator for the public restaurant that would equal this unique location,” said yacht club Commodore Mike
Terris. “We are delighted that Cactus Club Cafe has decided to join us next to Stuart Park on the waterfront. They are a terrific addition to our vibrant downtown.” The Kelowna Yacht Club’s new 24,100 sq. ft. building, just north of their current clubhouse, consists of two floors. The northern half of the first floor will contain the club’s administration offices, meeting space and a classroom for the club’s numerous boating-related courses that are open to the public.

Grant writing workshop planned
The Central Okanagan Charitable Gaming Association will conduct a grant writing workshop for Central Okanagan community groups, organizations and charities with reference to B.C.’s community gaming grant program. The current community grant intake periods affect arts and culture, and sports related grant applications. These grant intake periods close May 31. The workshop takes place Saturday, April 5, in the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce boardroom, 544 Harvey Ave. The workshop runs from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The workshop facilitator will go through the gaming grant application process, for both first-time applicants, and returning applicants. The workshop format assists organizations, working directly with notfor-profits that have questions about gaming grant applications, the “short form,” appeals and other parts of the gaming grant process. The sessions cost $10 for the first attendee from an organization and $5 per person for any additional staff or directors/volunteers. Refreshments will be available. Community groups and organizations planning on attending are encouraged to bring along applications in progress, or previously completed submissions to receive feedback on how to improve their grant writing techniques. The registration deadline is April 3. For more information, call Caroline Miller at 250-469-7358 or email cmiller@kelownachamber.org.

The $3 million gift places the $12 million Be a Lifesaver Capital Campaign significantly over the halfway mark. In fact, the single gift accounts for three quar-

fundraising goal, there is still a ways to go. “Equipment needed in the Hybrid OR will not be provided through government funding, but we are confident the community will provide the support to make this significant advancement a reality.” The quest for a Hybrid OR at Kelowna General Hospital is a result of the newest building on its campus, the Interior Heart & Surgical Centre.

MEND—Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It— is a program developed in collaboration with the B.C. Ministry of Health and Child Obesity Foundation, offered locally through the Okanagan YMCA. Through this program, families can learn about making healthier choices and spending time being active together. MEND, which includes a free six-month membership at Kelowna Family Y, promotes an inclusive environment, physical activity for kids, practical demonstrations, games, and tips on choosing healthy foods, label reading and portion sizes. Research on the success of the MEND program indicates that when families decide to adopt healthy practices as a unit, the kids are more likely to ‘buy in.’ The Grant family decided to join MEND after being referred to the program by their son’s pediatrician in 2013. Jarryd, who was 8 at the time, was struggling with health issues as well as a change in the family structure, which led to some weight gain and a decrease in self esteem. “In many ways, joining the MEND Program was the best thing that could have happened to Jarryd and our family,” explained Stacey Grant, his mother and MEND participant. “Both (my husband) Corey and I were really amazed by Jarryd’s excitement and enthusiasm about learning healthier ways to shop, cook and eat. “He has become an excellent MEND detective, continuing to read labels for fat and sugar content and also helps in the kitchen to prepare healthy meals. “As a family we have seen improvements in waist size, muscle tone, cardiovascular fitness, positive thinking and an increased focus on maintaining active, healthy lifestyles. The 2013 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth by Active Healthy Kids Canada, indicates kids between age five and 11 only get 4.1 hours a week of physical activity outside of school and organized activities. Also, according to new research from Memorial University in Newfoundland, obesity rates have tripled since 1985.
THE Grant family— Tamyra, Stacey, Jarryd and Corey—are participants in the KelownaY’s MEND program which encourages living a healthy lifestyle.

Businessman debunks myths about medical pot Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The District of West Kelowna is progressing with its plans to have medical marijuana production limited to industrial lands. Council gave third reading to the zoning amendment bylaw in a six to one vote Tuesday. If the bylaw is passed, commercial medical marijuana operations would be prohibited on agricultural land and in multi-unit buildings, unless all tenants are growers. However, the bylaw gives two site specific text amendments for a pair
of multi-unit properties—1352 Industrial Road and 2322 Dominion Road—that have in stream applications with Health Canada. Trent Kitsch, the owner of two buildings at 2322 Dominion Road, spoke to council at the public hearing Tuesday. “I’ve been to a number of council meetings, and the number one driver for our community is often referred to as economic development,” said Kitsch. “I think this is a prime example and an opportunity for the District of West Kelowna to have a part of our community thrive in economic de-

velopment.” Kitsch said medical marijuana production has been misconceived as “an illegal or shady business,” even though it’s legal and endorsed by Health Canada. “I recognize, as an entrepreneur, (it’s) just an economic opportunity.” He added his property at 2322 Dominion Rd. has been producing medical marijuana for almost two years. “It’s been under the watchful eye of inspections. We’ve worked with Westside Fire Rescue, we’ve worked with District of West Kelowna bylaw’s building permitting staff. “It’s a pharmaceutical busi-
ness, it’s going to be quality-assured, logged-in, logged-out, 24-hour surveillance…so it’s a very professionally run organization.” If the district gives final reading to the bylaw as it currently stands, Kitsch plans to purchase the building at 1352 Industrial Road, which he said currently sits vacant, unoccupied and for sale. “We’ll be tenanted, we’ll be invested upon, we’ll create jobs, we’ll create tax revenues.” The only councillor to vote against the zoning amendment bylaw Tuesday was Coun. Rick de Jong. In a previous council meeting, he argued the

district may lose out on tax revenue by limiting commercial medical marijuana production to industrial land. Coun. Duane Ophus said it was important to move forward with the bylaw. “I think it’s really important that we get whatever regulation of this issue that we can in place as quickly as possible…whether we completely like it or not.

Business alliance to battle MMBC recycling fees
Groups urge province to pause plan for containers, paper.
Jeff Nagel
CONTRIBUTOR
An alliance of business groups opposed to the new Multi Material BC recycling system are demanding the province halt the planned May 19 launch and go back to the drawing board. MMBC, an industry stewardship group, is poised to take responsibility for curbside blue box collection—with more containers and material types collected than before—while charging businesses for the recycling of the packaging and paper they generate. But it’s been in a bitter fight with small business groups that complain they are set to pay punishingly high fees, which will then be passed on to consumers. The battle took a new turn Monday, when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and eight other associations launched a campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify the pressure on Victoria. CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen predicted job losses and some business closures as a result of the MMBC regulations and fees. “This is public policy run amok,” he said. “We are asking British Columbians to talk to the B.C. government to push the pause button on its reckless and red tape-laden program.” B.C. Agriculture Council vice-chair Stan Vander Waal said farmers can’t readily stop packaging strawberries and blueberries in plastic
Shoppers will face higher prices through hidden fees New recycling costs imposed by Multi Material BC will ultimately hit consumers through hidden price hikes, critics say. “The public is largely unaware of the money that will come out of their pocket and ultimately go back to manufacturers,” said Corinne Atwood, executive director of the B.C. Bottle and Recycling Depot Association. Unlike existing deposit-refund systems in B.C. on cans or electronics—which are subject to audits and transparent reporting—Atwood said MMBC can do what it wishes with its revenue, without accountability. “It’s a licence to print money,” she said. Atwood has lobbied for years to expand the deposit system to include milk cartons and other containers, from hair spray canisters to detergent bottles. She argues the refunds offered would ensure a high rate of recycling through depots, as with beverage cans now. “If you put deposits on things initially the consumer would pay a bit more, but the people who bring it back will get their money back,” she said. Instead, she said MMBC’s non-refundable fees on packaging generators will inflate prices with no recourse. “With a hidden fee you don’t know what it is and there’s no opportunity to get that back—then you’re genuinely taking money out of families’ pockets.” Atwood said she believes the government likes the new system because if MMBC fees drive retail prices higher, the province will collect more sales tax. Existing bottle depots may be threatened because MMBC will also collect refundable beverage containers, she said, adding school teams and community groups that depend on bottle drives to raise money may also lose out if there’s less to collect. Other recyclers say they’re also losing out under MMBC’s system. The agency recently announced a consortium of waste firms that will handle the processing of containers that are collected. Urban Impact Recycling was one of the bidders that wasn’t selected and CEO Nicole Stefenelli said her firm will now have to restructure and potentially shed jobs as a result. clamshells, because retailers insist that’s what consumers want. “We have to wear the cost,” he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm $60,000 to $100,000 a year. “It goes directly against growing agriculture.” Canadian Newspaper Association chairman Peter Kvarnstrom, who
is publisher of a paper in Sechelt, warned that the new system will be “catastrophic” to B.C. community and daily newspapers, resulting in job losses in an already challenged industry and reduced service to communities. The opposition groups say they support the aim of the program—to make
generators of packaging pay to recycle it—but they dispute the fees and say multinational consumer goods firms like Unilever and Walmart control MMBC and are manipulating it to their benefit, not that of local businesses. Most of the fees for container waste are double or even quadruple what businesses in Ontario pay to a similar agency. Newspapers say they face a $14-million-a-year bite out of their operations because of the 20 cents per kilogram they will pay on newsprint, compared to less than half a penny in Ontario. They contend a high proportion of newsprint is already recycled in B.C. through blue boxes. Kvarnstrom said newspapers are considering options to create their own newsprint collection system—a move that could also deprive MMBC of newsprint revenue and undermine the program’s viability. Magazine industry reps also warned small B.C. magazines will pay not only for their own paper recycling, but will also effectively subsidize big U.S. magazines like Harper’s or Vogue that will be exempt from MMBC fees on magazines mailed into B.C. Printers predict some orders will shift to presses in the U.S. or Alberta to skirt the fees, costing jobs in B.C. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said MMBC’s higher fees are because they fully finance the program and ensure service for multifamily apartments and rural depots, in contrast to Ontario’s more limited focus on single-family homes. He said B.C.’s successful container deposit system also means there’s
less recyclable material left here for container stewards to collect and sell, so fees have to be higher to cover the system costs. Langdon said no business is forced to join MMBC, adding groups like the newspaper industry are free to develop their own system. “If they think there’s a better way, I think it’s important they put it for-
ward.” Environment Minister Mary Polak said most businesses are exempt from the fees if they have under $1 million of retail sales, generate less than a tonne of material or operate out of a single retail outlet, while generators of one to five tonnes per year pay flat fees of $550 or $1,200.

because MMBC will now pay for recycling collection that local municipalities previously paid. “The City of Richmond will save $1.5 million a year, Nanaimo will save just over $900,000 a year and the list goes on,” Polak said. “This is about shifting the costs from the property taxpayer to the people who produce the packaging and printed paper.”

Zombies chomp through Peachland in new novel Zombie Angst is not for the squeamish. It’s author, local travel writer Jim Couper, warns that his R-rated book contains brief scenes of nudity, graphic dining violence and an occasional profanity. To launch his first novel, Couper will be signing copies and answering question at Chapters in Orchard Park Mall on March 15, from 1 to 3 p.m. On Wednesday, March 19, at 7 p.m. he will read from his book, sign copies and talk about the history of zombies and their resurrection at
Pulp Fiction Coffeehouse, 1598 Pandosy St. in Kelowna. This should be a fun event with free coffee for book buyers and a real live (dead) zombie present. The zombie will try, with its limited intellect, to answer questions about what it is like to be dead and why it eats people. Zombie Angst reflects the international cooperation now possible in the publishing field. Australian publisher Severed Press, which specializes in Zombie literature, snapped up Couper’s offering several months
ago. The softcover book is printed in the eastern States and Couper, a Canadian, was born in Scotland. The setting for the 300-page book is Peachland. Travel writing is Couper’s normal genre and he has written guide books about the Okanagan and Highway 97. For the past decade he has worked as a freelance travel writer for American magazines. He and his wife Lian have visited more than 80 countries. Dealing with the understated theme of not knowing how good life is
until you are dead, Zombie Angst combines humor, horror and heartache to speed the reader through a nightmare of the undead chomping their way through Peachland. The main character, Mort, a resurrected, thinking-impaired former school teacher has aspirations of reuniting with his wife and kids months after he tumbled from his kayak and drowned in Okanagan Lake. Asked if he is jumping on the zombie bandwagon Couper explained that he started writing the novel four years ago. “If
I had seen the zombie revival coming I would have typed much faster. The thing I like about the zombie horror genre is that it is wide open. Unlike vampires, aliens or Frankenstein monsters, there are no literary precedents. Although zombies have a place in African and Haitian folklore their American popularity came from movies such as White Zombie and Night of the Living Dead.” As an homage to the latter film Couper has subtitled his book Plight of the Living Dread. His novel also features a ca-
bal of inept vampires that quietly operate a bar in Peachland, a pair of Sasquatch living near Brenda Mine, a few werewolves and members of the 3G Accord: gnomes, gremlins and goblins. “It’s all good fun,” Couper says, “until someone loses a liver.” Zombie Angst can be purchased for $14.25 at Chapters and Pulp Fiction Coffeehouse. Internet sales so far have been moderate, but Couper says he is surprised that the Kindle ebook outsells the paper edition on Amazon.com tenfold.

Seedy Saturday takes root again
S
eedy Saturday last weekend was a great success again this year with a terrific turnout both from participants, venders and enthusiastic gardeners. My radio show partner Ken Salvail was on location while I manned the broadcasting fort back at the AM1150 studio. Thanks to all involved for making Seedy Saturday a great event, in particular to the master gardeners who stepped up to the plate and hit a home run. I took the opportunity of Ken’s empty seat in the studio to have a friend, local Kelowna photographer and businessman Brian Sprout, sit in with me on the radio show. It created a combination of Seedy Saturday activities, gardening questions and a lively discussion on the history of City Park, in particular the old outdoor Aquatic Centre and what it meant to the citizenry until it met its untimely demise by fire in 1969.
We had several calls on the subject from locals who reminisced about those Aquatic Centre memories. There certainly is a lot of passion out there on this topic and the future of City Park in general. ••• I said a few weeks ago I was going to follow my own advice and make a cold frame. It is now built and in it is an early crop of Swiss chard, kale, leaf lettuce and Kelsey Spanish onions. I have a minimum/ maximum thermometer inside it making it possible to monitor the night temperature. Just in case it gets quite cold at night I have a heating pad in there
For the fifth consecutive year, the summer arts school SASFY (Summer Arts Scene For Youth) will host a six- day educational art workshops program. The program takes place Aug. 11 to 16 at George Elliot Secondary School and Creekside Theatre in Lake Country. It’s a unique inter-connection of the arts experience featuring 15 amazing and diverse workshops given by an exclusive Okanagan faculty team is
open to registrants ages 8 to 16, local youth as well as participants from outside the valley and province. Due to several popular workshops already filling up quickly and to avoid disappointment of a choice workshop being closed because of full capacity, early bird registration until March 31 is strongly advised.

which I can plug in when needed. One improvement I will make the next go round is to keep the profile on the sunny side lower. The sun is so low in the sky at this time of year the front wall casts a shadow halfway through the frame all day long which is not good. Amazing how the seedlings reach for the light. I have the chard, lettuce and kale planted directly into the soil inside the frame while the onions are in flats so I can transplant them into the garden at a later date. That will free up some space in the cold frame for some early tomatoes and peppers. I will keep you in the loop as to how my project is progressing over the next few weeks. ••• This Saturday, March 15, at 1:30 p.m. I will be conducting another pruning session at Bylands Garden Centre.
If you missed the last one session, now is your chance to learn about the principles of pruning in lay terms. This will be the last of my pruning sessions for this season, so be there early for best seating but no one will be turned away. Saturday is also a special day at Bylands featuring several vendors offering advice and information on new and interesting gardening products. On Saturday, March 22, again at 1:30 p.m. I will lead a session on small fruits and berries for Okanagan gardens. ••• Here is a gardening tip for the week: Plant some peas for early production as they love the cool weather and you can avoid some of the insect and disease problems associated with later sowings. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m.

a rosy picture for the Canadian middle class. What most headlines avoid are the statistics for the people in the top and bottom 20 per cent. In 1999, the median net worth of individuals in the bottom 20 per cent was $1,300, while that of individuals in the top 20 per cent was $763,700. In 2012, the median net worth of the bottom 20 per cent was $1,100, a drop of 15.4 per cent from 1999.
By contrast, the median net worth of the top 20 per cent in 2012 was $1,380,000, an increase of 80.7 per cent. The report attributes the increase in median net worth for the higher quintiles to above-average increases in real estate values. This explains why the lower quintile has not seen a dramatic increase in their net worth—they can’t afford to own real estate, much less now than in 1999.
The headlines may say Canadians are better off in 2012 than they were several years ago. But the reality is too many Canadians are actually worse off. The disparity will continue to exist until an effective jobs plan is put in place, which includes improving access to affordable daycare and eventually affordable housing, two options both the federal and provincial governments have failed to offer viable solutions.

CNA DIVISION
Member of the British Columbia Press Council
Westside MP happy to see response to legislative initiatives
I
t was another very busy week in Ottawa touching on a number of different but important issues. First, I would like to thank the many citizens and groups who commented on a report regarding invasive species, in particular freshwater mussels. It’s encouraging that so many people are supportive of the need to be proactive against invasive species. Two other subjects that I have heard a large amount of feedback from citizens on in Okanagan-Coquihalla this week include opposition to the recent reclassification of certain long guns and support for Elizabeth May’s Private Members Bill C-442, the National Lyme Disease Strategy Act.
The decision to re classify certain firearms is currently under review, however, federal Minister of Safety Steven Blaney has announced an amnesty program to ensure that existing individuals “in possession of these firearms can continue to possess their property without threat of criminal charges.” With respect to Bill C-442, currently this legislation has been introduced at first reading. I will provide further information on the progress of this private member’s Bill as it comes forward for second reading debate
MP’S in the House of ComREPORT mons.
Recently, Government Bill C-26 was also introduced in Parliament. Called the Tougher Penalties for Dan Child Predators Act, Albas this legislation proposes a number of changes to those convicted of serious child offences—such as a requirement that those convicted of child sexual offences against multiple children to serve sentences consecutively rather than concurrently, and an increase for maximum and minimum prison sentences for certain child sexual offences.
Penalties will also be increased for violations of supervision orders and any crime committed while on house arrest or parole will be considered an aggravating factor at sentencing. In addition, registered sex offenders will also be required to disclose more information when travelling abroad and more availability for spousal testimony in child pornography cases will be made available. Thus far, the comments I have heard from citizens on Bill C-26 have been supportive. Also occurring last week was a motion to recognize the importance of transparency and accountability in the expenditure of taxpayers’ money, and to instruct the non-partisan pro-
fessional administrative staff of the House of Commons to begin posting all travel expenses incurred under the travel point system as well as hospitality expenses of Members to the Parliament of Canada website in a manner similar to the guidelines used by the government for proactive disclosure of ministerial expenses.” As I am one of the MPs who has already been voluntarily posting these expenses, I naturally will be supporting the motion to ensure this information is provided to taxpayers as a regular part of internal economy administration reporting.

▼ HIDDEN TAXES
B.C. gov’t hides taxes in higher cost of sales
To the editor: In reference to Our View: Really, No Tax Increases? March 11 Capital News, editorial misses an upcoming legislation change that is expected to once again significantly increase our cost of living. The following letter has been sent to the Environment Minister, MP Dan Albas and copied to Premier Clark.
Dear Environment Minister Mary Polak and MP Dan Albas: Many consumers want our B.C. retailers to be more price competitive with our southern neighbours and online shopping. However, the B.C. Environment Ministry is poised (May 19, 2014) to take retail prices a step higher with legislation to improve recycling. News articles indicate this legislation is expected to cost business over $100
million, excluding compliance costs, to run a new recycling program that doesn’t deliver any demonstrated benefit over our existing recycling programs. Consumers will continue to pay taxes to their municipal government for recycling while paying higher prices for goods and services as business passes on these costs. What our provincial government clearly gains in their legislation is a higher sales tax stream being generated as a result of higher retail prices. This legislation provides financial gain to government to increase the size of their piggy bank while they take on no added risk or responsibilities. Consumers only see an increase in their cost of living without any demonstrated benefit. Consumption taxes don’t prod governments to keep prices low.
The federal government has gone on record stating it will investigate pricing disparities. The Senate generated a report that was focused on tariffs without mention of how programs at other levels of government impact retail pricing. While the federal government might suggest this falls into provincial initiatives they are clearly benefiting in the GST revenue stream as well. Changes, which raise local pricing, only serve to further promote buying in the south and online shopping. Will online shopping feel any impact? Our local businesses and economy will! Should the price of goods rise through hidden costs as a result of this legislation, then how can B.C. companies be price-competitive should they be marketing outside of this province? Recycling change
shouldn’t come with the government being the only clear winner. A reply to the following questions would be appreciated. Conservative MP Dan Albas: • In the federal government’s stated quest to address price inequalities would they oppose provinces that are attempting to hide costs in the retail price moving it needlessly higher? Environment Minister Mary Polak: • How does this legislation help the consumer? • How does this legislation help business compete outside B.C.? Do they market a B.C. price and an ‘anywhere else’ price? • How does this legislation strengthen the existing recycling programs? • How will the legislation cause/force suppliers to reduce packaging? Are we paying more for
nothing in exchange. • How does this legislation support the government’s own goal of a ‘strong economy’? • How does this legislation prevent increased purchasing in the U.S. or from online sources? • What is the impact to the consumer’s cost of living? • What is the environment benefit/improvement over the existing programs? • Will these changes just mean that we have to drive around a lot more to ‘drop-off’ recyclables? • Are community newspapers more at risk of financial failure? • And the most important question: Why has the B.C. government legislated change to ensure it is the only clear winner? T. Kinsman, West Kelowna
patient with ongoing Liberal attempts to balance the budget on the backs of students and teachers. Real educational policy is concerned with the success of every taxpayer’s child and their potential citizenship in a healthy society as well as a sustainable, prosperous economy. An educated citizen is not a cheap proposition. Students today are inheriting a complex, fast-paced, challenging world. Plus, students are depending on us to provide safe and empowering school cultures. Unpredictable classroom size and composition do
not provide continuity nor stability for students. These are not ‘widgets’ or ‘stats’ or ‘bills’ or ‘policies’ we are talking about. These are students making their way through their schooling as best they can, depending on parents, teachers and student support services along their way. If teachers don’t hold firm on the conditions for teaching and learning within classrooms, then students suffer and school cultures deteriorate. All students are vulnerable in crowded classrooms. Children and youth do not have a pol-
itical voice, so teacher advocacy is imperative. Teachers accept the provincial goals for personalized learning, enhanced student achievement, and healthy intellectual, social, and career development among students under our care. But this is a lion’s share of society’s goals and teachers expect provincial support. Furthermore, court cases to deconstruct the contractual obligations toward B.C. students is a waste of time, effort, valuable tax dollars and destructive to public relations generally. But worse yet, this disrespects the profession of
teaching and the value of our children and youth. Class size and composition are sacred because what happens in our classrooms defines the future of employment, underemployment, or unemployment. I challenge the B.C. Ministry of Education to prove they value the students in our province by honouring all obligations to protect classrooms. Devon Wolfe, BEd MSc UBCO grad student, Kelowna

Falconer runs a teleneurology clinic with physicians in Trail, Creston, and Grand Forks from his UBC Okanagan office, and has students shadowing him to learn how it is done. The Southern Medical Program’s e-Health Research Office is also conducting an e-Health research project with telehealth patients—50 people in a remote community will be seen in person by a doctor, while 50 others will participate in telehealth conferences, where they will contact the doctor via technology. Using Bluetooth technology, Falconer demonstrates how the Littman electronic Tele-Stethoscope connects wirelessly to a computer and shows how a medical practitioner in Kelowna, can ‘hear’ the heart and lungs of a patient in Trail. This one device will save countless hours and dollars, while eliminating the stress of travel for patients. “We know how it works,”said Falconer, explaining the cloud-based technology, “but it still feels a bit like magic.”

NEWS ▼ PERSONAL INJURY
Court ordered award not a ‘win’ if it doesn’t beat formal offer
A
recent court decision illustrates the risk that a trial represents, particularly a jury trial, and the powerful incentive that something called a “formal offer” can be to settle a case instead of going to trial. It is a decision of our
Court of Appeal that was released March 10, 2014. The Plaintiff, Mr. Wafler, had been injured in a rear-ender crash. Approximately three years after the crash ICBC offered to pay $60,000 to settle his case. Approximately a year and a
half later, they offered a bit more—$72,346. Approximately two months before the February 2012 trial, ICBC made their last, best offer of $222,346. At the end of the two week trial, the jury awarded $53,111.
Settlement offers cannot be shared during a trial. After the judgment has been rendered, though, offers that are what we refer to as “formal” offers can be brought to the court’s attention when dealing with “costs.”

“Costs” is a legal term that means money the “winning” party is paid as compensation for the expense of a lawsuit. Lawsuits can be very expensive. In a personal injury case, the most expensive part of running a trial is often the tens of thousands of dollars that can be spent by both sides bringing highly paid medical and other specialists to court to testify. In circumstances where liability (fault) is agreed, a “win” in a personal injury case is any award of compensation for injuries and losses, however small. Unless there is a “formal offer” to upset the apple cart, the injured victim is awarded costs. In order to encourage more cases to settle, we came up with formal offers. A formal offer is simply one that uses particular wording that makes it clear that it can be used against you after a trial when it comes to costs. For costs purposes, a court ordered compensation award is not a “win” if it doesn’t beat a formal offer. Not only is it not a win, it can be a financially devastating loss. After the Court renders it’s decision, the ICBC lawyer quite reasonably asks the court to hold you financially accountable for continuing with a lawsuit that should have been settled if the amount awarded is less than or equal to a formal offer. That accountability will most certainly include a lack of reimbursement for the thousands or tens of thousands of dol-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott lars your lawyer has spent running the trial, which you have to pay as “disbursements” as part of your lawyer’s bill. Adding insult to injury, it might also include having to reimburse ICBC for the disbursements as well as a portion of the lawyer fees they have paid to defend your case in the time period after the formal offer was made. After the dust settles, you can end up not receiving any financial compensation for your injury. More likely, you will end up owing money. Fortunately, the court has discretion about the consequences it imposes. The court carefully considers a number of factors, the most important being how reasonable it was for you to reject ICBC’s offers. In the Wafler case, the jury result came as a surprise to everyone. The judge found that it had been reasonable for Mr. Wafler to have expected an award substantially higher than the $222,346.00 that ICBC had offered and so it had been reasonable for him to reject that offer and proceed to trial. Another factor is the recognition that a loss for ICBC represents nowhere near the financial devastation of a loss for an individual person. ICBC is a mammoth in-
surance company while Mr. Wafler lives on a disability pension, had to sell many of his possessions, and had been evicted from his home because of his inability to pay rent. The Judge decided that he would require Mr. Wafler to pay his own disbursements, but did not require him to pay any of ICBC’s expenses. Even with that “mercy” extended, Mr. Wafler will likely end up owing money after the dust settles. The case went to the Court of Appeal because Mr. Wafler appealed what his lawyer argued was a perverse jury verdict. That appeal failed, the Court of Appeal finding that there was at least some evidence to support the verdict, even though the bulk of the evidence did not. In British Columbia, we don’t get to ask members of a jury their reasons for rendering a verdict to enable us to identify errors in judgment or understanding of the evidence or law. As a result, overturning a jury verdict is very difficult. Fortunately, ICBC’s cross appeal on the issue of costs also failed, though the end result to Mr. Wafler wouldn’t have made any difference, I expect. To a disability pension earner without assets, barely making it by, a big debt isn’t much different from a small one. This is intended as general information and is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Winter adventures include playing
broom ball, snowshoeing, tobogganing, geocaching, snow fort building, arts, drama, games and so much more. Both the YMCA and Silver Lake Forest Education Society believe that every child should have a chance to experience camp and that no one should be left out.

West Kelowna neighbourhood associations express concerns
Wade Paterson
STAFF REPORTER
Local community groups had an opportunity to address District of West Kelowna council Tuesday night. The session was held to give the groups an opportunity to share their concerns and ask questions of the district. “This is an annual commitment that we make to hear from residents’ associations,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. Findlater added staff was taking “copious notes” and, in some instances, will bring reports back to council. He added they will also answer questions that were posed by the groups Tuesday night. Below are a few of the issues raised by each group. • Michael Trenn, president of the West Kelowna Residents’ Association, pointed out issues the association has, relating to health and safety, off-road vehicles, Crown land and municipal infrastructure and road development. Regarding road development, Trenn noted the Master Transportation Plan indicates a significant percentage of the capital cost for arterial
roads is being put toward wine trail upgrades. “We’d be interested to know what the economic benefit to the community (is),” said Trenn. He said some of that money may be better used on roads in other areas of the district to improve livability. • Smith Creek Residents’ Association president Dave Compton told council areas they have been succeeding and areas where improvement is needed. Compton said communication needs to improve between the district and residents’ associations. He noted often times the communication has occurred “after the process is all but complete.” He added the district’s website needs to improve its search function. Compton thanked council for the traffic calming work that has been happening in the Smith Creek neighbourhood. • Dave Mathieson spoke on behalf of the Shannon Lake Neighbourhood Association. He said 2013 was a good year for getting things checked off the association’s project list, such as traffic calming, landscaping of the bulk water station and comple-

He noted there was an unfortunate incident last year involving a pedestrian being hit by a car in the neighbourhood; therefore, Shannon Lake traffic calming and sidewalk improvements continue to be a priority for the association. • The Historic Westbank Association was represented by Betty Hersey. Hersey said 2013 was “another busy and successful year” for the group. “Our all-day celebration for Westbank’s 110th anniversary on Aug. 17, 2013 was a great success,” said Hersey. “We received many
words of thanks from those who participated.” She announced the Westbank Farmer’s Market is entering its fifth year this summer. The markets will be held in the Westridge Shopping Centre and 25 vendors are already on board to participate. • Gary Gylytiuk, president of the Green Bay Property Owners’ Association, focused most of his presentation on what the district needs to do to prevent the infilling of Green Bay with waterborne sediments from the surrounding uplands. “We haven’t seen a fully satisfactory proposal from the district to fix the dysfunctional storm sewer,” said Gylytiuk.

day night. He represented the Casa Loma Community Association. He said key changes and improvements have included a traffic calming study, a four-way stop sign at Campbell and Lucinde/Benedick, inclusion of Lakeview watershed in the Storm Water Management Master Plan and a zoning bylaw on longterm moorage. “DWK has recognized much of the concerns faced by our community,” said Wright. He said the biggest wish of the association is that the district “break the legacy in Casa Loma of infrastructure deficits that have existed in the neighbourhood.” “We just want to ensure that the infrastructure upgrades in the community precede new development, we don’t want to see anymore after the fact fixes,” said Wright. He also requested council include Casa Loma as part of the Master Water Plan.

He pointed out the Jack Pine service road evacuation route has several challenges of its own. “In that area, there’s no cell phone connection or even radio range,” said Kainz. “The other main complaint is it’s a real washboard kind of a road.” He also requested the mosquito control program be extended to the Upper Glenrosa area. • Al Hildebrandt, president of the Casa Loma Resident Homeowners’ Association, said the group was formed seven months ago to become an online and interactive voice for the community in Casa Loma. Hildebrandt said the CLRHA’s top concerns are related to the drainage issues the region has had and the work the district has done to improve the situation, how traffic will be managed with increased development and the creation of a pedestrian/cyclist route connecting W.R. Bennett Bridge to Kalamoir Regional Park. • Rodney Wright was the final presenter Tues-

He said the association was notified the district has tabled any cost and any fixing of the dysfunctional storm sewer to 2022. “I’m here today to say that’s not acceptable.” • Christopher Cruz spoke on behalf of the Greater Westside Board of Trade. He commended the district for selecting downtown Westbank as the location for a future municipal hall. He also congratulated council on its 2014 strategic priorities, which he called “ambitious.” He questioned whether or not certain strategic priorities were still on target for April, such as work on an online business directory and a marketing strategy for the industrial area. He also asked council when its way finding signage program will be complete. • The Glenrosa Residents’ Association was represented by Ken Kainz. Kainz said a major concern is still an evacuation route in case of fire.

Everett moved by the nature around her Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Look out in the backyard. Do you see a kaleidoscope of colour? The majestic presence of a ponderosa pine? The deep blue of the Okanagan hillside? Life, death and personality? This is the world local artist Jane Everett invites us into with her first local solo show in seven years. Developed at her Shuswap cottage and in her Lower Mission backyard, it includes a series of 13 small birds, drawn in charcoal on vellum paper in a technique she’s honed in the last few years of her career, and a series of Japanese-inspire ink paintings on rice paper. Titled A Sense of Place, this is work about the world she sees every day, an area she moved to for her husband’s work and has come to feel is home. “I love light,” she says. “I love the water, what that does. How it lowers the inhibitions.” When she talks about each piece, she talks of adoration, of celebrating each creature and the presence of the boughs that define her space.
“To me, the little birds are a symbol of survival and courage. To stay here in our backyard through our winter…I mean, there’s just nothing to them,” she says. While the work is current, and has the immediacy of a sketch one can do when the subject matter is right out the window, the impetus for bird drawings, and the portrait style she’s chosen, has been in her studio for a decade. Hanging beside the door as one enters the attic space on the second floor is Carel Fabritius’s The Goldfinch, a small painting done in 1654 of a little kept bird fastened to a backyard feeder with a chain on its foot. The painting is quite unique for the time, both for its relatively mundane subject matter and for the manner in which the painter treats his subject, as a unique individual. “Dutch artists, they would paint things to show their clients were very wealthy, so there would be grapes and wine and golden goblets; but this humble little bird on the backyard feeder, that’s a very unusual sort of thing,” says Everett. It was the chain on its

Acting in a similar way to the cage we might place a canary in today, it bothered the artist enough she soon had a small series in which Fabritius’s finch is set free. The sketches of her own backyard birds followed. The last time the Capital News interviewed Everett, she was working on a series of vellum and charcoal drawings of the Port Mann Bridge in the Lower Mainland and she’s carried this mix of
materials over to the birds. The trees that will show with the 13-drawing series of these creatures use a similarly translucent material, though the inspiration for this set is quite new. “A friend came back with a catalogue from an exhibition she had seen in Japan and I was just knocked out by this penand-ink work,” said Everett. Choosing the lodgepole and ponderosa pines around her cottage in the
Shuswap as subjects, she worked up a series of ink paintings on rice paper and used her old stretchers to build five lanterns. “The rice paper seems to almost enlarge it and spread it on,” she said. The paintings, done on-site unlike many of her other works done from photographs, have an unusual way of making one feel quite small in their presence, though each lantern is only three or four feet tall and wide. A Sense of Place will
show just a few kilometres from Everett’s house at Tantalus Vineyards, 1670 DeHart Rd., from March 23 to April 12. An opening reception will take
place on Saturday, April 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. jsmith @kelownacapnews.com

Recognize volunteers who make a difference around you Dawn Wilkinson COLUMNIST
The countdown is on. We have 23 days to prepare for National Volunteer Week—April 6 to 12. Volunteer Canada has taken the lead for 11 consecutive years to help us focus on our 13.3 million volunteers nation-wide. In the Central Okanagan, every second person you pass on the street will volunteer this year. Learn how to recog-
nize volunteers in your organization using PREB, Volunteer Canada’s new volunteer experience recognition program. Become certified to use the PREB website. It enables managers of volunteers to recognize vol-
unteers by identifying skills and tasks accomplished. PREB also helps in the drafting of clear and concise position descriptions with the goal of increasing the recruitment, management and reten-
tion of volunteers. PREB supports volunteers in finding paid work by describing their volunteerism in human resources terms understood by potential employers. Register for a free PREB workshop, Tuesday, April 8, between noon and 1 p.m. at the Kelowna Community Resources office, 120 – 1735 Dolphin Ave. in Kelowna. Bring your own lunch and we will provide a sweet treat.

Speed need fulfilled
S
ince 1994, the Need for Speed video game franchise has not only become the most successful series of racing games, but one of the most successful of all time. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, it gets the big-screen treatment. Produced by DreamWorks Pictures and released by Disney’s Touchstone Pictures, it captures the thrill of the video game in a real-world setting. In fact, the producers decided against using computer effects whenever possible and instead use practical effects, meaning that the expensive cars used in the movie had to have stunt doubles. The cars themselves, like the $4.6 million Konigsegg Agera, had stunts done by extra shells manufactured at a cost of about $300,000 each. The actors also had to receive extensive stunt driv-

Paul stars as mechanic Tobey Marshall who skilfully builds and races muscle cars, but is having trouble keeping his garage afloat. In an attempt to save his father’s business, he teams up with his rival to complete building an unfinished Ford Mustang Shelby and sell it for millions. Just when things look like they are going his way, Tobey participates in an unsanc-

tioned race that results in the death of his friend and him being set up for manslaughter. After two years in jail, Tobey is out for revenge that takes him on a near-impossible cross-country race. Also starring Dominic Cooper (The Devil’s Double), Imogen Poots (That Awkward Moment) and Michael Keaton, do not expect a movie that will make you think. Just enjoy the ride (if you can excuse the pun). This week is a little light for new releases, but next week you can look forward to what is being described as the next Hunger Games. Divergent comes out March 21 (with advance screenings on March 20) and, according to online ticket seller Fandango, demand for tickets have out-paced the first Twilight movie.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.
Well, lookie here. One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion. That’s definitely not democracy in action. The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.
Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board. That’s gotta tell you something. Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.
What’s going on here?
Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:

Spring follows dad’s Team Canada footsteps Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Based on his own experiences more than three decades ago, Don Spring has a pretty good idea how his daughter must be feeling these days. Lauren Spring was named last week to Canada’s national women’s under-18 hockey team which will compete at the world championship later this month in Budapest, Hungary. In 1979-80, Don spent a season wearing his country’s colours as a member of Canada’s national men’s team, all culminating with an appearance at the Olympic Games in Lake Placid, N.Y. The elder Spring is, not surprisingly, thrilled that his daughter is getting a chance to represent her country. “It’s pretty exciting for her,” said Don Spring, who also played four seasons in the NHL with the Winnipeg Jets. “You don’t
get too many opportunities to do something like this, to play for your country, so hopefully she will just enjoy it and make the most of the experience. I know it was a once-ina-lifetime experience for me.” Lauren Spring has been on Hockey Canada’s radar since last year, and had her first taste of international competition when a roster of Canadian U18 hopefuls played in an exhibition mini-series in August against Team USA. The players were also evaluated on their play at the national U18 championship last November in Calgary. When all was said and done, Spring was one of four players from Kelowna’s Pursuit of Excellence program to make the grade for Canada’s final 22-player roster. Also named to the team from POE was Kelowna product Sam Fieseler, along with Sarah Potomak and Karly Heffernan. For Spring, the captain

made it, it was a proud moment and really have to thank family, friends and coaches who pushed me and helped get me there. “Growing up knowing my dad played for Team Canada,” she added, “it’s
always been a huge dream of mine to do the same, to follow in his footsteps.” As for Fieseler, the 17-year-old Kelowna product can’t wait to pull on the Canadian jersey in Hungary. “I’ve been working to-
wards this for a long time, so to make the team is pretty exciting,” Fieseler said. “To wear the Canadian jersey and actually get out there on the ice is going to be amazing. I’m looking forward to it.” Like Fieseler, Lauren Spring hopes her first experience with Hockey Canada will one day lead to other opportunities, such as the Canadian under-22 team and, ultimately, the national senior women’s program. But for the immediate future, the 18-year-old forward from Kelowna is firmly focused on helping Canada achieve its goals
in Hungary. “The opportunity to do this, with a chance to move up in the future is obviously an exciting thought,” said Spring. “But for right now, this is one step, I need to enjoy the moment with the U18s, and do my part to help them win.” Spring and Fieseler will travel with Team Canada to Toronto on Friday, where they will spend the weekend practising and preparing for the world championship. The team will leave for Budapest next Tuesday, followed by the start of the eight-nation tournament on March 23 with a game against Japan. Canada will be looking to win its third consecutive gold medal at the world championship. Canada and the United States have dominated since the tournament’s inception, winning three titles each since 2008. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com
Rookie forward impresses in Rockets’ debut Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Tanner Wishnowski didn’t waste time making an impact with the Kelowna Rockets. The 16-year-old rookie from Oak Bank, Man. scored on his first WHL shift Tuesday night at Prospera Place, then proceeded to make plays and deliver hits against the Victoria Royals more befitting a veteran player. Rockets’ assistant GM Lorne Frey said Wishnowksi—a mem-

Tanner Wishnowski ber of the B.C. Major Midget League’s Okanagan Rockets—has been a pleasant surprise since being listed by the WHL
club last fall. “He’s just gotten better and better as the year has gone on,” Frey said of Wishnowski. “He skates really well, he’s physical, he’s got great instincts and puck skills, and makes really good plays. “We like what we’ve seen (Tuesday) and we think maybe we got pretty lucky with this guy.” After playing a year of bantam at Pursuit of Excellence two seasons ago, Wishnowski returned to the Okanagan last summer to join the Kelow-
na-based major midget club. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound forward was a key figure in the Rockets’ record setting regular campaign, scoring eight goals and 32 points in 27 games. Since being passed over in the WHL bantam draft in 2012, Wishnowski had pretty much flown under the radar— that is until Okanagan GM David Michaud recommended the skilled and gritty forward to the WHL’s Rockets earlier
this season. “He’s skates well, he’s got great instincts, but he plays the game like a bit of a throwback,” said Michaud. “He’s a power forward, and even though he’s not the biggest guy, he’s not intimidated out there. When you started seeing those instincts, and how smart he was, it was pretty easy to make the call to Lorne Frey and Bruce Hamilton and suggest they take a good look at the young man.” For Wishnowski’s part, his first WHL game
went better than he possibly could have envisioned. “It was a lot of fun, I was nervous at first but just came out, tried to keep my feet moving and tried to play my game,” said Wishnowski, who scored Tuesday on a wrap-around at 2:18 of the first period. “I don’t have words for (my first goal)…(Colton) Heffley made a great play, and I just celebrated with the guys. It was great.” Wishnowski will return to the Okanagan
Rockets for the remainder of their B.C. Major Midget League playoff run, which continues this weekend against the Valley West Hawks. Lorne Frey expects once the midget season is complete, Wishnowski will re-join the WHL club for the duration of 201314. “I’m really excited,” Wishnowski said of a potential future with the Rockets. “They’re a great organization and I’m looking forward to playing more for them.”

STAFF REPORTER
SPRING 2014 EDITION
With as many as seven players out of the lineup at one time, the West Kelowna Warriors only vaguely resembled the club that won 35 games and tied for top spot in the BCHL’s Interior Division during the regular season.
The injury-riddled Warriors put up a fight in their first-round playoff series but, in the end, succumbed to the considerably healthier Vernon Vipers in six games. The Vipers secured a spot in the Interior Division finale against Penticton with a 5-0 victory Tuesday night at Kal Tire
s d p i
Place. For the Warriors, who closed the series without the services of their coMVPs, Adam Plant and Andy Desautels, the absence of a handful of key players was simply too much to overcome. “It makes it tough,” a dejected head coach, Rylan Ferster, said on Wed-

nesday. “You expect to lose a few guys, but I’ve never seen anything like it. You never like to use injuries as an excuse, but they really hurt us. It would have been nice to have gone in healthy, but that wasn’t the case. A credit to Vernon, they’re a great team. When you don’t have all your guns firing, that’s disappointing.” After falling behind three games to one, the Warriors displayed some resolve with a hard-fought 4-1 win Monday at home in Game 5 to prolong the series. But on Tuesday night, a series-long trend continued where the team scoring first went on to win the game. “There wasn’t a lead change once in the series, so when Vernon scored first it was an uphill battle,” Ferster said. “We had some really good, Grade A chances early on but just couldn’t finish. It
L t would have been nice tog get one of those, but it just t didn’t happen.” While the loss is stillt raw, Ferster said the cluba can be proud of its regu-i lar season and the stridesw the organization made ine s 2013-14. The Warriors will loseq about 10 players, but ex-d pect to return a strongt corps next season, in-t cluding goaltender Andya Desautels and forwardsc Jason Cotton and Jordanc h Masters. “We got some real keyi pieces coming back, so Ic think we have reason tot be excited about next season,” Ferster said. “WeH live in an attractive placen where players like tos come, and we have greatn ownership here.

Mustangs defeat Knights to repeat as B.C. champions
One of B.C. high school basketball’s most dominant programs of the past decade is back on top in 2014. Dino Gini’s Immaculata Mustangs defeated the rival Kelowna Christian Knights 69-49 Saturday in Lumby to win the B.C. girls’ senior A championship for the second straight year. The Mustangs have now won seven provincial titles since 2003. Ranked No. 1 all season, Immaculata rolled over Glenlyon Norfolk 85-19 in the opener, then beat Fraser Lake 90-56 in the quarterfinals. In the semis, the Mustangs took care of Similkameen 96-51. Coach Gini, who was at the boys A provincials with the Mustangs, travelled from Langley to Lumby Saturday evening to coach the Immaculata girls to the gold medal. “They are just a fantastic group that carried the No. 1 ranking all year and took care of business in the finals,” said Gini, whose Mustangs posted a 32-2 record this season. “We defeated some quality teams so we were definitely one of the best teams in the Okanagan this year, but the important part is we had great competition and were challenged in all those exhibition games with quality teams with quality coaches, proud of of all the girls.” Graduating captain Hannah Johnson was named the best defensive player at the tournament to finish off her high school career. Emma Johnson, Jaeyden Penkala and Ashlyn Day were named to the first all-star team. The rest of the Mustangs are Amanda Grant, Ashley Prehofer, Nicole Hart, Lindsay Lalach, Stephanie McCann, Bliss Ducharme, Katelyn Kohlen, Shadae Kishor and Kate Johnson. Dino Gini is assisted by Brian Grant, Leah Drebit and Andrew Gini, while Megan Hart and Cassidy McClennan are the managers.v

NEWS ▼ GRADUATED LICENSING
KDSC offers course for new drivers this spring break Space is still available in the Kelowna & District Safety Council’s new spring break GLP course for new drivers! For more than 34 years, the Kelowna & District Safety Council has been one of B.C.’s largest and most well-respected rider training schools. After adding driver training to its course offerings in 2011, KDSC will be holding its first Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) for new drivers this spring break. KDSC’s comprehensive GLP course includes 18 hours of classroom theory, a two hour co-pilot course for students and a parent/ guardian, as well as eight 90-minute practical lessons that will provide novice students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to be safe drivers. New drivers who complete this course will earn two high school
credits and a six-month reduction off their N-stage license. The cost is $1,050 (lower than industry average) and includes use of the vehicle for the road test. Tuition is non-taxable for high school students. The classroom sessions are scheduled on March 17, from 6 to 8 p.m. and March 18, 19, and 20, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This will allow students to complete their theory during spring break and the practical lessons can be scheduled anytime this year at the convenience of the student, including weekends, weekdays and after school. “Our GLP course is student-based, designed to adapt to individual learning styles and needs,” said Tania Meyer, executive director. “We’re also really proud to have the only driver training car in the
Okanagan with both dual gas and brake pedals for greater student and instructor safety.” KDSC’s curriculum is a new program, and therefore meets the newest and highest standards for both curriculum and teaching methods set by ICBC. This sets KDSC’s curriculum apart from other, pre-existing operations which were grandfathered into the current system without being required to meet the new, higher standards. For students who don’t want to take the entire course, KDSC offers individual driving lessons as well as discounted packages of practical, intraffic lessons to help get new drivers safely on the road. For information about all of Kelowna & District Safety Council programs, check out the website www.kdsc.bc.ca or call 250-7653163.

original Project on his ipad and did a great job! Brody is an amazing kid and deserves as much credit as the rest of us kids.
THESE ARE just a few of the members in our multi-aged newspaper club. We do reporting and write stories to let everyone know what is going on at Hudson Road School.
Here in the newspaper club, we do lots of writing and typing on the computer. We are in the club because we want to tell people about our school. The first thing we do in the club is brainstorm some ideas about what to write about. After choosing a topic, we write a draft then Mrs. McGuire (our leader) checks it over. We may need to switch around some sentences and do some editing. Next we type out our stories on the computer and check it over to fix any mistakes. Then Mrs. McGuire sends our work to the publisher. That person will pick a few articles and pictures to put in the newspaper under “Community Connection” on our very own Hudson Road Page. How cool is that!
As our principal is moving on to another school, the staff and students of Hudson Road Elementary wanted to sing a goodbye song
ALL THE INTERMEDIATE classes were

Space
By Garret S., Grade 3 Space is a dark airless place where there is not a breath of air. In space, there is only one thing that can live…it is bacteria. On the moon, there are craters which are caused by meteors hitting the moon. They look like big bowls. The first animal in space was a monkey. I think one day, people are going to go on a one way trip to Mars. I can’t wait to learn more about space!
How to Make Elastic Bracelets By Callie W., Jordyn C. and Cadence H. Grade 1 First you grab an elastic and do a “figure 8”. Put another elastic on and pull the bottom elastic over. Grab another elastic and keep repeating it over and over again. At the end, put on an “S-clip” to hold it all together.
Road principal (Mr. MacLeod) good luck in his new school. We chose to adapt the “You’re Gonna Miss Me” song to say farewell and this is how it goes:

The District of West Kelowna is progressing with its plans to have medical marijuana production limited to industrial lands. Council gave third reading to the zoning amendment bylaw in a six to one vote Tuesday. If the bylaw is passed, commercial medical marijuana operations would be prohibited on agricultural land and in multi-unit buildings, unless all tenants are growers. However, the bylaw gives two site specific text amendments for a pair of multi-unit properties—1352 Industrial Road and 2322 Dominion Road—that have in stream applications with Health Canada. Trent Kitsch, the owner of two buildings at 2322 Dominion Road, spoke to council at the public hearing Tuesday. “I’ve been to a number of council meetings, and
the number one driver for our community is often referred to as economic development,” said Kitsch. “I think this is a prime example and an opportunity for the District of West Kelowna to have a part of our community thrive in economic development.” Kitsch said medical marijuana production has been misconceived as “an illegal or shady business,” even though it’s legal and endorsed by Health Canada. “I recognize, as an entrepreneur, (it’s) just an economic opportunity.” He added his property at 2322 Dominion Rd. has been producing medical marijuana for almost two years. “It’s been under the watchful eye of inspections. We’ve worked with Westside Fire Rescue, we’ve worked with District of West Kelowna bylaw’s building permitting staff. “It’s a pharmaceutical business, it’s going to be

▼ ADMINISTRATION
District gives Zaffino CAO job One of the District of West Kelowna’s longest serving employees has been promoted to the position of chief administrative officer. Mayor Doug Findlater recently announced former chief financial officer and deputy chief administrative officer Jim Zaffino was named to the position. Zaffino’s appointment as CAO will continue through to his expected retirement in June 2015. Zaffino had been appointed interim CAO on Feb. 7 after Jason Johnson became city manager in
Victoria. “Mr. Zaffino is an award-winning municipal leader, who has the respect of his peers and the confidence of council,” said Findlater. “His appointment brings leadership continuity to the District of West Kelowna.” Council brought Zaffino on board in 2008 as the second member of the DWK’s senior management team. He has 39 years of municipal government experience, and in 2011 was awarded a professional ser-
vice award for leadership from his peers at the Local Government Management Association of BC. “Council values Zaffino’s experience, financial and management expertise, excellent rapport with management and staff, and solid reputation with stakeholders, community leaders and counterparts in government.” According to Findlater, the process to search for the district’s third CAO will be left with a new council, to be sworn in after scheduled local government elections in November.

Local community groups had an opportunity to address District of West Kelowna council Tuesday night. The session was held to give the groups an opportunity to share their concerns and ask questions of the district. “This is an annual commitment that we make to hear from residents’ associations,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. Findlater added staff was taking “copious notes” and, in some instances, will bring reports back to council. He added they will also answer questions that were posed by the groups Tuesday night. Below are a few of the issues raised by each group. • Michael Trenn, president of the West Kelowna Residents’ Association, pointed out issues the association has, relating to health and safety, off-road vehicles, Crown land and municipal infrastructure and road de-

Board happy district chose Westbank for future municipal hall Associations from A6 the communication has occurred “after the process is all but complete.” He added the district’s website needs to improve its search function. Compton thanked council for the traffic calming work that has been happening in the Smith Creek neighbourhood. • Dave Mathieson spoke on behalf of the Shannon Lake Neighbourhood Association. He said 2013 was a good year for getting things checked off the association’s project list, such as traffic calming, landscaping of the bulk water station and completion of improvements to the neighbourhood pub. He noted there was an unfortunate incident last year involving a pedestrian being hit by a car in the neighbourhood; therefore, Shannon Lake traffic calming and sidewalk improvements continue to be a priority for the association.
• The Historic Westbank Association was represented by Betty Hersey. Hersey said 2013 was “another busy and successful year” for the group. “Our all-day celebration for Westbank’s 110th anniversary on Aug. 17, 2013 was a great success,” said Hersey. “We received many words of thanks from those who participated.” She announced the Westbank Farmer’s Market is entering its fifth year this summer. The markets will be held in the Westridge Shopping Centre and 25 vendors are already on board to participate. • Gary Gylytiuk, president of the Green Bay Property Owners’ Association, focused most of his presentation on what the district needs to do to prevent the infilling of Green Bay with waterborne sediments from the surrounding uplands. “We haven’t seen a fully satisfactory proposal
from the district to fix the dysfunctional storm sewer,” said Gylytiuk. He said the association was notified the district has tabled any cost and any fixing of the dysfunctional storm sewer to 2022. “I’m here today to say that’s not acceptable.” • Christopher Cruz spoke on behalf of the Greater Westside Board of Trade. He commended the district for selecting downtown Westbank as the location for a future municipal hall. He also congratulated council on its 2014 strategic priorities, which he called “ambitious.” He questioned whether or not certain strategic priorities were still on target for April, such as work on an online business directory and a marketing strategy for the industrial area. He also asked council when its way finding signage program will be complete. • The Glenrosa
Residents’ Association was represented by Ken Kainz. Kainz said a major concern is still an evacuation route in case of fire. He pointed out the Jack Pine service road evacuation route has several challenges of its own. “In that area, there’s no cell phone connection or even radio range,” said Kainz. “The other main complaint is it’s a real washboard kind of a road.” He also requested the mosquito control program be extended to the Upper Glenrosa area. • Al Hildebrandt, president of the Casa Loma Resident Homeowners’ Association, said the group was formed seven months ago to become an online and interactive voice for the community in Casa Loma. Hildebrandt said the CLRHA’s top concerns are related to the drainage issues the region has had and the work the district has done to improve the situation, how
Street sweeping is underway Spring street sweeping is underway in the District of West Kelowna. The clean up of sand and salt from the municipality’s roads will continue until approximately mid-May. Weather permitting, the program will run
about eight weeks. Sweeping generally starts in lower lying areas due to the greater likelihood of snow falling at higher elevations. Residents are asked to park vehicles off-street while sweepers work in
their neighbourhoods. Signs will be posted prior to street sweeping commencing in each area. Sand piles will be temporarily deposited in each neighbourhood during the process and will be removed as quickly as

He said key changes and improvements have included a traffic calming study, a four-way stop sign at Campbell and Lucinde/Benedick, inclusion of Lakeview watershed in the Storm Water Management Master Plan and a zoning bylaw on longterm moorage. “DWK has recognized much of the concerns faced by our community,” said Wright.

SPORTS ▼ BCHL
Banged up Warriors succumb to Vipers Warren Henderson With as many as seven players out of the lineup at one time, the West Kelowna Warriors only vaguely resembled the club that won 35 games and tied for top spot in the BCHL’s Interior Division during the regular season. The injury-riddled Warriors put up a fight in their first-round playoff series but, in the end, succumbed to the considerably healthier Vernon Vipers in six games. The Vipers secured a spot in the Interior Division finale against Penticton with a 5-0 victory Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place. For the Warriors, who closed the series without the services of their coMVPs, Adam Plant and Andy Desautels, the absence of a handful of key players was simply too much to overcome. “It makes it tough,” a dejected head coach, Rylan Ferster, said on Wednesday. “You expect to lose a few guys, but I’ve

You never like to use injuries as an excuse, but they really hurt us. It would have been nice to have gone in healthy, but that wasn’t the case. A credit to Vernon, they’re a great team. When you don’t have all your guns firing, that’s disappointing.” After falling behind three games to one, the
How often do you find yourself saying “I don’t have enough money,” “I can’t afford this,” “that’s all the money I have.” “I have spent all my money”?
All these statements are conclusions, decisions, and judgments. By concluding - you stop the process of creation in this case of money. When you make a statement, conclusion, decision or anything that ends with a period at the end, you have basically come to an answer or more specifically a dead end. The reason for this is once you settle on a specific answer or conclusion, any other possibility that disagrees or doesn’t match that conclusion will not come into your world. So you will create more lack of money! So if you would like to change your current financial state, when you find yourself in conclusion about money, ask yourself “how does it get any better?” and “What else can I create here?” Ask these questions every time you receive even a dime or a dollar, and any other time it feels good or not so good. Don’t look for an answer, let it show up, allow your financial situation change.

Warriors displayed some resolve with a hard-fought 4-1 win Monday at home in Game 5 to prolong the series. But on Tuesday night, a series-long trend continued where the team scoring first went on to win the game. “There wasn’t a lead change once in the series, so when Vernon scored first it was an uphill bat-

What kind of lighting should I get with my new kitchen?
Another great question! We always suggest getting “under cabinet lighting” also known as “task lighting”. If this is done correctly it will be concealed behind a “Light Valance”. Accommodations for lighting wiring etc… should be made before new cabinets go in. Hard wiring is the best way to go and usually you can fit 3 puck lights/circuit. Your designer can help you decide where the best placement is. We like to fit the puck lights in between a ¼” finished bottom panel that goes across the run of the actual cabinet bottoms and where a space is created for the lights to sit in nicely and the underside of the cabinet has a very polished finish. A great choice is LED as they last a very long time and they don’t heat up like some puck lighting does. LED costs more but pays for itself in the long run with a longer lifetime compared to other choices. Now let’s talk pot lights… If you have existing pot lights, make sure you have a designer that takes your existing lighting into consideration with the redesign. Lighting over a Peninsula where there is an eating bar or an Island where there is an eating area is always a nice feature. Our advice it to pick the lighting out either with your designer or let them know what you’re thinking about using so they can confirm your choice and/or advise you on any special requirements your choices will bring about.

How can dentistry improve my game?
It’s that time of year – most of the winter sports are still in play and many of the spring sports are getting ready to rev up! How does dentistry have anything to do with this? Well, sports always require higher levels of balance, power and flexibility for success. Studies have shown that these 3 elements are improved when the muscles, the human skeleton and the nervous system are working in optimum harmony. A person’s bite or dental occlusion works in close conjunction with the neck and if the bite is not ideal, the muscles and alignment of the jaw and neck are negatively affected. The old saying “ the head bone is connected to the neck bone…” and so on comes into play. Thus the overall body postural alignment, muscle balance and the effectiveness of the motor nervous system are affected as well and the athlete cannot perform optimally. In summary, both elite and recreational athletes alike can benefit from having a balanced bite and balanced posture. This can be achieved through the fabrication of a specialized “mouthguard” that is made specifically to the ideal physiologic position of the jaw through the use of a muscle relaxation device and computerized jaw tracking and muscle tension monitoring system. In fact there are many professional athletes benefiting from appliances like this. This spring get out there, be active and be the best that you can be!! Get your bite balanced! For more information…

tle,” Ferster said. “We had some really good, Grade A chances early on but just couldn’t finish. It would have been nice to get one of those, but it just didn’t happen.” While the loss is still raw, Ferster said the club can be proud of its regular season and the strides the organization made in 2013-14. The Warriors will lose about 10 players, but expect to return a strong corps next season, including goaltender Andy Desautels and forwards Jason Cotton and Jordan Masters. “We got some real key pieces coming back, so I think we have reason to be excited about next season,” Ferster said. “We live in an attractive place where players like to come, and we have great ownership here. It’s hard now, but we’re going right back to work to see what we can do better.” The Warriors will host their spring camp April 18 to 20 at Royal LePage, with close to 160 players expected to attend.
