Regrets about vote on apple agency being expressed Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Communications errors are likely at the root of a confusing vote B.C. orchardists turned in this winter, dousing plans for an Apple Research and Promotion Agency in B.C. From November to mid-February, growers were given mailed ballots and asked to vote on whether to accept a levy of $1.60 per apple bin to establish the agency, which could then join counterparts in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to collect levies from all imported apples and fund national promotion efforts highlighting the benefits of apples. “I think people just didn’t understand some of the ramifications of what was being proposed,” said Fred Steele, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association and an apple orchardist. Officially, the vote was deemed a draw. While the mandated minimum of 42 per cent of growers did turn in a ballot, the results were split 50/50 for and against establishing the new agency. Ultimately, the BCFGA decided it could not proceed. Ballots cast were tracked throughout the process and the votes collected earlier from those attending meetings and responding to the mail-out were just as divided as those who filed last minute at the BCFGA convention mid-February. For apple associations in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, it’s not good news. “We’re disappointed in the vote because it means we can’t have a national research and promotion agency,” said Cathy McKay, Ontario Apple Growers research chairperson. “…We’re hoping that the British Columbia growers will hold another vote, possibly when more information is available.” In order for counterpart associations to successfully lobby the federal government for a national agency See Vote A5

Pirouette on finances creates $30,000 surplus Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Ballet Kelowna says the show will go on next season. Just over a year after announcing it planned to shut down because of a lack of support and money, the local dance company says it will finish its season next month with a $30,000 surplus and three-times the membership support it had in February 2013. Speaking to council on Monday, Ballet Kelowna chairwoman Deborah Ward credited the dramatic turnaround to an outpour-

ing of support across the Okanagan following last February’s announcement. With a renewal of its annual $30,000 city grant on the line, Ward said this past year the city’s money helped her organization raise a further $107,000 in government grants and another $78,000 in private donations. With a deliberately shortened season, a new board in place and a tripling of its membership base, Ballet Kelowna now plans to hire a new artistic director/CEO and general manager to replace retiring artistic director and founder

noting he and his wife Doreen have committed to donate to Ballet Kelowna for the next five years. Ward said moving forward, Ballet Kelowna will launch a major marketing campaign for its last show of the season scheduled for April 25 in Kelowna, plans to slowly lengthen its season over next three to five years, and increase its budget to between $325,000 and $400,000 from the current $265,000. City council agreed to give Ballet Kelowna a $30,000 grant after hearing Ward’s report.

Dozen residents chased from their homes in townhouse fire Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

A dozen Lake Country residents spent Sunday night in hotel rooms after six townhomes were damaged and two vehicles destroyed in a fire at a townhouse complex on Powley Court in Lake Country. Fire officials say no one was injured in the blaze which began around noon Sunday in a vehicle, spread to a second vehicle before jumping to a townhome. “The call came in as a car fire initially,” said Lake Country fire chief

Steven Windsor. “The vehicle was against the side of a building and it had jumped from the vehicle to another vehicle and then onto the townhouse. “There is considerable fire damage to the one unit, smoke and water damage to the adjoining unit and smoke damage to the next four units.” Residents from the affected townhomes were displaced from their residences Sunday, according to Windsor. “Emergency social services put up 12 people in hotel rooms,” he said.

Local benefits of free trade touted Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Canada’s international trade minister is vowing to open up new markets around the world for Canadian goods and services in light of the successful recent negotiation of a free trade agreement with South Korea. Ed Fast was in Kelowna Friday to talk up the recently signed agreement between Canada and South Korea, saying trade continues to be a focus for the federal government. “In 2006 when we formed government, Canada had five trade agreements. Now we have more than 43 trade agreements in place,” said Fast, speaking at the Summerhill Winery. During his remarks to a group of about 30 people—many representing the agriculture sector here—Fast said the agreement with South Korea will see an immediate drop of the 15 per cent

tariff on Canadian icewine entering that county. And he predicted tariffs on other wines could be eliminated in a year or two. That was good news to Ezra Cipes, CEO of Summerhill. Cipes said South Korea is a nation where the appreciation of wine is growing and with a population of 50 million people, the agreement could create a much needed foothold into the Asian market where Canada has no other free trade agreements. “It’s really good news for the Canadian wine industry,” said Cipes. The deal was also hailed by cherry grower David Geen. While it will be a few years before fresh B.C. cherries will be allowed into South Korea tariff-free (the deal does allow for frozen fruits), it is good news on the heels of a recent protocol allowing for the sale of lim-

Fast said Canada is known around the world as a source of good quality and safe food, and agreements like the one with South Korea will only enhance that. He urged those in the room to act now if they are considering exporting in future. “Start making strategic partnerships now,” he said, adding Ottawa is not finished seeking trade deals with other countries. Fellow Conservative

MP Ron Cannan agreed, saying with agreements in place it is now up to the private sector to do its part to capitalize on the efforts of government. “We are cutting the red tape so go out and make the green (money),” said Cannan, a member of the government’s trade committee and MP for Kelowna-Lake Country. Cannan accompanied Prime Minister Stephen Harper to Seoul last weekend when Harper signed the trade deal with the president of South Korea. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Deer culling options debated

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

A Kelowna RCMP officer says he believes the way to save Kelowna orchardists’ deer damaged crops could lie in careful hunting regulations. Const. Kevin Hamilton, a lifelong hunter who has worked as an RCMP officer in the City of Kelowna for three years, says putting down deer who have been hit by a car is an unfortunate, but all too frequent, part of the job. “I would say it happens at least once a week,” said Hamilton, who worked in some of the communities making headlines for deer-human conflict before arriving in the Okanagan. Conflict between deer and people, ranging from car accidents to does attacking dogs and joggers, has become such a serious issue in B.C. the provincial ministry of environment commissioned the Urban Ungulates Summary Report five years ago to examine the problem. The work, done by researcher Gayle Hesse, formed the backbone of research for new civic policies on population control in communities

like Cranbrook and Invermere. Invermere is effectively ground zero for the issue at the moment. The Invermere Deer Protection Society has waged war with city officials over a cull, fighting the municipality in court and on the streets with members sabotaging contractors’ traps. It’s a messy fight Hamilton believes Kelowna could avoid by working with the province to establish limited entry hunting licences for deer in interface zones, such that the deer heading into towns and cities could be eliminated en route to the food source. “The problem is, we’ve eliminated the predators in the city,” said Hamilton, noting RCMP and conservation officers are automatically called out to kill any natural predator, like cougars, that show up in response to the increased prevalence of deer. It’s ultimately rendered cities safe havens. Hamilton could also see permitting bow hunting of deer within city limits. Bow hunters shoot at close range, and could work with local farmers to help thin the population with far less danger to the gen-

eral public than allowing hunting with guns. The issue is only now just reaching Kelowna City Hall. “We had 10 calls last year about deer,” said Ian Wilson, parks services manager, noting none were about deer in orchards. He said local residents have complained about deer destroying landscaping, and one caller was concerned about a deer hit by a car. Wilson said the city is monitoring issues from Oak Bay, where 38 deer were maimed in interface conflict incidents in 2013, to the Kootenays very closely. He suggested the answer may also lie in the provincial Wildlife Sundry Permits, one of which allows farmers to deal with nuisance wildlife for crop protection. The permit costs $110 and allows a resident to apply to hunt, trap or kill wildlife on his or her own property during the open or closed season provided he or she can provide a compelling reason. A meeting on the deer issue is set for March 27 out of Penticton and will be headed by WildSafeBC. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Levy proposal maybe misunderstood

Vote from A1

and draw funds from an import levy on international fruit, every growing province must establish a levy. In Ontario, a $25-an-acre levy has been in place for years. It’s mandatory for all farms over 10 acres and the proceeds already go to research and promotion. The monthly levy supports everything from graduate student research on resistant codling moth to the Okanagan Plant Improvement Corporation. The extra money from an import levy could have helped. “(The other associations) were concerned that the growers weren’t aware that they are leaving a million dollars behind in import levies in not approving it,” said Glen Lucas,

BCFGA manager. He has been asked to view the issue as alive and to keep working on it. In retrospect, Lucas said the BCFGA executive realizes growers likely didn’t understand the extend to which government was in support of the plan. He said the leadership now recognizes that presenting it in isolation, rather than as a component of a long-range plan for the industry, was likely a mistake. “Without connecting it to other organizations and to future goals, I think growers had uncertainty about it,” he said. A bin of apples is minimally worth 100 times what the levy was to take, at $160 a bin, although the BCFGA wants to see most varietals receive an average of $240 a bin.

Promoting apples in general, as opposed to marketing different varietals, is seen as the best approach to boosting sales nationwide. This would mean picking up on research like the apple-a-day study published out of Ohio State University last month, which found eating just one apple a day for four weeks lowered blood levels of oxidized LDL, or bad cholesterol, by 40 per cent. It seems not all antioxidants are equal and the particular antioxidants in apples have a profound effect on artery health. “That’s a message to get out there right now and the U.S. apple (industry) is doing that to some extent. I think they need to do a better job and we need to get started,” said Lucas. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

New era for liquor in B.C.

iquor sales in retail stores are one step closer, with the provincial government recently unveiling some details about the standalone outlets which can be located within existing grocery stores. Liquor will not be sold in corner or convenience stores, which removes one of the concerns of those who opposed selling liquor beyond the existing sales network. Those who currently hold private liquor store licences, which generally go to those with pub licences, will be able

to move their licences (presumably via sale or lease) into grocery stores. The current restriction that licences must be for businesses within a five-kilometre limit will be lifted. Wisely, the government recognizes that this move gives an economic benefit to licence holders, and wants them to pay a transfer fee. The standalone stores will be in larger grocery stores, and within the same building—not in standalone buildings, as is the case in Alberta. This makes a lot of sense.

Customers will be able to put groceries and liquor in their carts, but must pay for their liquor in designated checkout lines. This move brings an era of civility to liquor sales that we haven’t seen before in B.C. It wasn’t that long ago that people had to go into government liquor stores, ask for the product they wanted, and receive it in a brown paper bag, out of sight of prying eyes. Then we got government stores in shopping malls, and then we went to a mix of private

and government liquor stores. One step towards promoting B.C.-made beer, wine and spirits is to allow for point-ofsale demonstrating, tastings and advice. While this does take place in liquor stores now, it can be expanded greatly within the confines of a larger grocery store selling a wide variety of products. Sales of liquor in grocery stores begin in 2015. B.C. is entering an exciting era of treating liquor as a product to be fully enjoyed with meals and in social settings, in moderation.

The turnout, and Brooks’ comment, show how far the party’s fortunes have tumbled since the heady days just a few years ago when former federal MP John Cummins returned from Ottawa to lead the B.C. Conservatives. At one point, the party had 23 per cent support in the polls. But by the time last year’s election rolled around, the B.C. Conservatives were reduced to also-ran status, with a paltry five per cent of the vote. Cummins could place no better than a distant third in the Fraser Valley riding where he ran. Brooks and Peterson are trying to change that. But both are coming from very different positions.

Brooks, 38, is a former guide-outfitter, who runs a resort outside Vanderhoof and admits he’s a rural guy. He sees the strength of the party in rural B.C. and says it should build on that. He says he’s being realistic when he says the party will not likely form government for at least two to three elections because it has a lot of work to do. He doesn’t like the “old guard” and says they don’t like him. He’s passionate. Three years ago he fled the B.C. Liberals over a land dispute with the government concerning his resort. Peterson, 59, is an investment banker from the Lower Mainland. He says he not only knows, but also has

City needs to make DCCs pay the way To the editor: Kelowna city council made three decisions recently that are neither sustainable nor in the public interest because they shift project costs away from developers and onto taxpayers and ratepayers. This is not good behaviour in an election year. First, council decided to raise sewer rates to pay for recently built and planned sewage treatment and sewer trunk line system upgrades. This was done despite the fact city policy requires development cost charges (DCCs) to pay for 99 per cent of the sewer system. The premise behind this policy is that new projects impact city infrastructure and taxpayers should not be burdened when new projects are approved. The city never collected enough DCC money from developers so it turned to ratepayers to pick up the deficit. This public subsidy indicates poor financial planning and poor decision making to service new developments. DCC rates need to be increased and properly planned so developers pay their full share of sewer costs. Second, council approved an Application to remove the Thomson Flats area of the Upper Mission from the Kelowna Official Plan 2030 (OCP) designated Future Urban Land Reserve. The initial application proposes 1400 single family homes on 260 hectares (640 acres) on the city’s southern boundary. The application will go to public hearing in the next few months, despite staff reports to council that servicing the area will have high

costs, will impact taxpayers and should not be removed until after 2030. The steep terrain poses numerous servicing challenges and visual impacts that require high cost solutions. The applicants specialize in end of road projects on cheap land at the edge of cities that not only create significant profit but also increase problems from urban sprawl. Site servicing will redirect city finances away from much-needed, long-planned and previously approved projects in other neighbourhoods. Third, council approved a $1.45 million cost increase for design and construction upgrades to Lakeshore Road. These upgrades are needed to provide road, sewer, and water services for projects built in the Mission area during the past 20 years. Total cost estimates to upgrade five km of Lakeshore Road from Richter to Barnaby are now over $65 million. Unfortunately, construction delays, poor planning and engineering design and inflation have significantly increased their public costs. The city has abandoned its policy requiring developers to pay DCCs to cover 85 per cent of the road costs, 99 per cent of the sewage treatment costs, 99 per cent of the sewer trunk line costs and 99 per cent of the water delivery system costs. Over the years the city has increased the scope and costs of the project in its 20-Year Servicing Plan and Financial Strategy because developers are placing more growth pressure on the area. The result is that taxpayers are now re-

It really doesn’t matter now which side of the spending debate the constituents were on, the road is a fact. What isn’t a fact is signage to direct motorists to the many wineries the route was beautified to highlight. About three months after the route itself was

completed at the north end, I contacted the District of West Kelowna as well as many of the various wineries concerned, asking when the signage would be changed from directing people along Hudson Road. The answers were rather vague but timing, cost and communication

Albas ‘reports’ on PMO’s ‘talking points’ To the editor: Isn’t it reassuring to see (Okanagan-Coquihalla) MP Dan Albas happy about responses to “legislative initiatives?” (March 13 Capital News) Not wanting freshwater mussels to invade our waters or supporting a Lyme disease strategy is “apple pie”—nobody would oppose these. Only a relative handful

of hunters own semi-automatic weapons, and they are, as always when such legislation reclassifies weapons, grand-fathered—i.e. it does not apply to them. But, as the saying goes: If you need five rounds in your magazine to kill a deer, maybe you should not be hunting. Also, of course, who would oppose sentencing

child sexual abusers—in the past the Conservative Party of Canada’s motto was: “You’re either with us or with the child abusers.” What Albas does not touch upon is the legislation aimed at voters and changes to the voting system. One of the most ardent Conservative supporters of this bill has repeatedly lied to the House

of Commons and the Speaker has found prima facie grounds of breach of parliamentary privilege. Mr. Albas’ colleagues brought the proceedings in the House against that MP to an end by using procedural ploys. With that manoeuvre they legitimized lying to the House of Commons which rep-

resents all Canadians. Mr. Albas, if he reports at all, might want to stay away from the Prime Minister’s Office prescribed talking points, and tell us what is really happening in the House. Harri Henschler, West Kelowna

ically over the next three years, it can form the government in 2017. Both men acknowledge the infighting that helped kill its chances in last year’s vote. During the debate, the pair laid out their very different approaches, took swipes at each other, but in the end both said they

would work with the other if they lost. A successor to Cummins will be named April 12 in Richmond. But in the eyes of B.C. voters, will it matter in three years time? What Friday showed was the B.C. Conservatives have a long way to go to even be part of the conversation when it comes to politics in this

province. With Brooks and Peterson, it would appear that work is underway. But that’s what was said about Cummins when he took over leadership of the party. And we all know how that went. Al Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News. awaters @kelownacapnews.com

Years later, council kites the as-built costs and increases utility rates and taxes to pay the cost overruns. Election campaign donations from the Mayor and council and from Four Change, the local business group that promoted them in the media, show numerous donations from developers. Residents need to tell council to behave better and to get out of their pockets. Specifically, residents need to tell council to stop taking donations from developers; to stop removing land from the OCP Future Land Reserve; to end public subsidies to developers; and to make developers pay their full servicing costs over the long-term.

Wine Route not complete until signs in place To the editor: It seems like a no-brainer, but I guess common sense shouldn’t be taken for granted. The money spent on the Wine Route along Boucherie Road in West Kelowna, was done to mixed reviews and took a considerable period of time.

Gert Beadle award winner named

MARK GODDARD/CONTRIBUTOR

LAWS OF NATURE…Kelowna resident Mark Goddard took this photo of a coyote (top) trailing a deer which appeared to be suffering from a broken and bleeding left back leg.

Fittingly on International Women’s Day (March 8), the 70 volunteers who assist the H.O.PE. Outreach and Safe House were named winners of the 2014 Gert Beadle Group Award. The Beadle award was established to recognize the achievements of women through passion, determination and togetherness. Beadle’s legacy to humanity is her inspiring message of hope and her uncompromising belief in the power of women working together to create positive change. Angie Lohr is the founder of H.O.P.E. Outreach and Safe House. H.O.P.E. stands for Helping People Exploited. Lohr, a former cocaine addict and sex worker who has been clean and sober for 12 years, runs the volunteer-based organization with Kelly Lim, who manages the safe house. This trained and caring volunteer group provides night time outreach to homeless and/or sexually exploited women in

downtown Kelowna. Every night, pairs of volunteers go out on the street and offer care packages to these women. The care packages contain snacks, condoms and self-care products. The safe home is for women who want to leave their lives of prostitution and addiction on

the streets and return to healthy living. UBCO students have also been inspired by the H.O.P.E. program to carry out a 5 Days for the Homeless initiative in which participants experience the life of homelessness on the streets, completely dependent on the generosity of strangers.

This event helps generate both funding and awareness of the harsh realities of street life. All donations received will be given to H.O.P.E. Outreach and Safe House. To learn more about H.O.P.E., see the organization’s website www. hope-outreach.com.

Do you have Type II Diabetes? Are you having difficulty managing your illness in spite of treatment with Insulin? Okanagan Clinical Trials is seeking volunteers for an ongoing research study of an investigational medication to possibly treat this condition. If you’ve had type II diabetes for at least a year, you might be eligible to participate. All study related care and investigational medication will be provided at no cost and you will be compensated for travel.

WFN sheds light on future career options Byline Name BYLINE POSITION

Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Aboriginal students from School District 23 and School District 51 filled the Sensisyusten Gymnasium Thursday as they took part in Westbank First Nation’s second annual career fair. Jolene Esau, membership employment coordinator with WFN, said there were approximately 60 booths put on display by various businesses and organizations this year. “It’s similar to last year, but we do have a little bit more diversity with the vendors,” said Esau. According to Esau, last year’s career fair was the first of its kind put on by WFN. “We had never done one before. I’m the membership employment coordinator—it was a newly created position about three years ago—so I decided that we should start doing career fairs,” said Esau. “We have over 350 businesses on our land, so of course (we) reached out to them and other industries as well.” In order to get the students interacting with the representatives behind the booths, they were given lists of questions. Students were encouraged to ask the prospective employers questions in order to fill out their answer sheets. Prizes were given out to those who answered the most questions correctly. According to Esau, that interaction

The career fair organizer added there was a broad range of industries represented at the event.

“We’re showcasing our key departments at Westbank First Nation. “We (also) have heavy equipment operators, to nurses, to employment centres…it’s pretty spread out.” Esau said the purpose of Thurs-

day’s career fair was to allow students to understand what educational path they might need to take in order to land a job in a certain field. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Creating your own work environment

f you are not happy working for someone else, you can consider the options of being self-employed. Ask yourself: Why

are you not happy as an employee? You need to establish if the change to being your own boss will make you happy.

Being your own boss can provide a feeling of independence and provide financial independence. You have control of

your own schedule and will be able to take time off when you want to. Hopefully, these valuable points would become reality.

Choosing to be your own boss allows you to be creative and hardworking. See Smith A12

PHYTOPLANKTON PRODUCTS Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC CoreTM Still Defying The Odds

UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish on his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed as the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plant and everyday he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words,

“feeling totally different. I am pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A, the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMACCORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being.

Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into the atmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks. Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean-3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.

UMAC-CORE is available in Liquid and Capsule quickly gained far more attention formulations. than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!”

UMAC-CORE

Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.

MARINE M ARINE P PHYTOPLANKTON HYTOPLANKTON

Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different thing in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.” People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your sick pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works-if you can see results with animals-and we do.” Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one of the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”

You will need a business name, the required provincial or municipal licences, liability insurance, and bank accounts.

Word of mouth advertising and happy customers are still among the best, and most affordable, ways to promote your business. Many people start a home-based business on a part-time basis. When you have a home-based business, ensure you have the proper insurance coverage in force to protect yourself against a liability issue.

SENIORS Guidelines for exercising with arthritis pain outlined

rthritis is a painful disease affecting one in six people. Among the most common complaints for those battling arthritis pain is that it is emotionally draining, frustrating and it generates feelings of fear and anger. When you’re in pain, your body can change from stress as muscles become tense, posture can become poor and you don’t sleep well. Seniors feel fatigue from enduring arthritic pain, and often become afraid to exercise fearing they’ll do more damage than good. But all individuals with arthritis should be encouraged to manage their arthritis through

FITNESS FOR SENIORS

Bobbi Kittle self-research and making good decisions to be in the best possible health. Part of that self-management includes a safe slow progressing and low impact program. Start with what you can do safely, free of pain. Throw that old saying, no pain no gain, out the door—it’s very important to realize if you have pain for more than two hours after exercising, you’ve

done too much. There are ways to increase or decrease intensity in an exercise class by changing the speed of the exercise, lightening or increasing resistance. An appropriate exercise program, whether in the pool or on land, should begin with slow and controlled range of motion exercises to limber and loosen up stiff and achy joints. This will release what’s called synovial fluid, which acts like a lubricant to the joints. The strengthening part of the program should involve good posture while activating your core and involve low to moderate intensity. A good idea is to alter-

nate between upper and lower body exercises to keep from becoming quickly fatigued. The cardiovascular or aerobic part of your program should always involves low impact activities that don’t place your joints at risk. The exercise should be somewhat difficult at around 50 to 60 per cent maximum heart rate. The recommendation is 30 minutes accumulated exercise per day but can be broken up into three sets of 10 minutes. Another important part of your program should also include balance and core exercises. The last component in an exercise program should include stretching

for flexibility. Stretches should include all major muscles, be slow and gentle holding 20 to 30 seconds and stretch to tightness but not to pain. Some examples of low impact exercise options for the arthritic individual can include walking swimming, cycling, low impact aerobic classes, circuit training, Pilates, yoga, tai chi and warm water pool classes. Remember the 4Ps in managing your pain and fatigue:

• Planning—respect your pain and plan daily activities accordingly • Priorities—if you’re having a bad day be kind to yourself and take some things off your list and do the tasks that are most pertinent. • Pacing—balance work with rest and listen to your body • Posture—whether you’re sitting, standing or walking always tries to be mindful of your posture, keeping your back straight, shoulders down and back and core acti-

vated; and don’t forget to breathe.

▼ ROCKETS AWARDS

Cooke named MVP, three awards for Chartier Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

On more than a few nights during the 201314 regular season, Jordon Cooke was the difference between winning and losing for the Kelowna Rockets. The veteran stopper’s often spectacular play also helped the WHL club to a record-setting campaign, including 57 wins, 118 points and the league’s overall title. On Sunday, the team formally acknowledged the 20-year-old goaltender’s value by naming the Leduc, Alta. native as the club’s MVP at the Rockets’ annual banquet. Cooke, who won a career-high 39 games and posted a 2.28 goals against average, was honoured by the individual award, but credited his teammates for making it all possible. “Considering the team we have, on any given night, there was always a guy that stood out for us,”

said Cooke. “To win an award like this in an organization like this, with all the players that have won it before, it’s a tremendous honour. But I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, I couldn’t have done it without my teammates.” Cooke also picked up the Hamilton family humanitarian award. Second-year centre Rourke Chartier was a big winner Sunday, taking home three awards— most sportsmanlike, top defensive forward and the scholastic award. The 17-year-old Saskatoon product, who registered 24 goals and 58 points during the regular season, took time to savour the moment, but said the team has much more important goals ahead. “It’s a special time of the year, especially with playoffs coming, it’s nice to have a day to celebrate our accomplishments over the year,” Chartier said. “It’s a team sport though, so I don’t try to look too much into these

here.” The other award winners were: • Top defenceman— Damon Severson. Severson, 19, who won the award for the second year in a row, scored 16 goals and added 45 assists for 61 points. • Rookie of the year— Nick Merkley. The Calgary native tied a team record for goals by a 16-year-old player with 25. • Plus-minus and unsung hero—Cole Martin. Martin led the WHL

in plusminus rating at +61. • Most improved— Jackson Whistle. The 18-year-old netminder posted an 18-4-0-0 record and 91.7 save percentage. • Top scorer—Myles Bell. The 20-year-old Calgary product led the Rockets in goals (42) and points (77). The Rockets open the WHL playoffs Saturday night at home to the TriCity Americans. whenderson@ kelownacapnews.com

▼ WOMEN’S HOCKEY

All-Canadian CIS hockey status for Kelowna’s Casorso In the opinion of coaches and peers alike, few players patrolled the blue line in Canadian university women’s hockey this season with more poise and consistency than UBC’s Sarah Casorso. The Kelowna native has been rewarded for a solid 2013-14 campaign by being named a CIS (Canadian Interuniversity

Sport) first team all-star. Casorso, who turns 22 this week, led all Canada West defenders in scoring with six goals and 13 assists, and helped lead the Thunderbirds to the regular season conference title. Casoro was humbled by the her first-team selection, which was announced last week at the CIS awards banquet in Fredericton.

Sarah Casorso

“It’s definitely a great honour,” said Casorso, in her fourth season with the T’Birds. “To be able to represent my family, school and teammates with this award, it really feels great.” UBC head coach Graham Thomas said the Kelowna Minor Hockey grad has been a big asset to the Thunderbirds’ program and is most deserv-

ing of the recognition. “Sarah’s been an absolute pleasure to coach and to have on our team, both as a player and as a person,” said Thomas. “She is one of the most competitive people I’ve ever worked with—she brings that to the rink and makes her teammates better. She’s an offensive defenceman, that can play defence but also rush the

puck and makes plays. Sarah’s also developed into a really good leader.” For Casorso, her growth as one of the top players on the both T’Birds and in the country, is a product of experience. “I think each year my understanding of the game gets a little better and my confidence grows, too,” she said. “I’m a high

energy player, but I’ve also learned to stay calm in certain situations so that has helped me too. Experience counts for a lot.” Casorso looks forward to returning for her fifth and final season with the T’Birds in 2014-15. The 21-year-old Kelowna product also expects to complete her degree next year in English Literature.

Okanagan Rockets slip by Valley West Hawks, Mellof wins set up rematch with Vancouver Northwest Giants Super League in tight final game Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

There was considerably more drama and tension than the Okanagan Rockets would have preferred. But when all was said and done, the Rockets emerged booking a spot in the BCMML championship final for the second straight year. Jake Kryski’s goal on da penalty shot with less than five minutes to play in the third period Sunday at CNC pushed Okanagan past the Valley West Hawks 7-6 in the third and -deciding game of the bestof-three semifinal series. The Rockets came from behind to win the series opener 5-4 on Friday, before the Hawks responded with a convincing 6-3 win on Saturday afternoon to force a deciding game. On Sunday, rookie Tyson Jost delivered a hattrick for the Rockets who held 4-0 and 6-3 leads before Valley West rallied back to tie to the game,

making for some nervous moments on the Okanagan bench. The way in which his team prevailed wasn’t ideal, but Rockets coach Matt O’Rourke is just happy his team survived its first big playoff test. “We had a mental collapse on Saturday, so we’re happy with the way the guys bounced back,” O’Rourke said. “It wasn’t the score we wanted, but we got the win and we’re moving on. Not for one moment did we think this was going to be an easy series. It was a great experience to come through some tight games, a team-building experience.” The series win sets up a much-anticipated rematch vs Vancouver Northwest in the final next weekend. The Giants, who finished just one point ahead of the Rockets during the regular season, defeated the Rockets in overtime in the deciding game of last year’s final. “We always hoped

Major Midget League semifinal at CNC. it would be a Rockets-Giants final and that’s what we’ve got,” O’Rourke said. “That’s a phenomenal group they have over there, and we

like our team, too. It could be the best series in the history of the BCMML.” The Rockets and Giants will meet in the best-of-three league final

this coming weekend in Burnaby. Game 1 goes Friday night, with Game 2 on Saturday and, a third game, if necessary on Sunday afternoon.

I visited my Mom over the summer and am concerned because she hardly eats anything. She doesn’t like the protein shakes and we have left lots of nutritious frozen meals to reheat. What more can I do?

As we age, our desire to eat and drink lessens. Memory deficits, chronic illness, pain, loneliness, poorly fitting dentures and so forth can interfere with appetite and nutrition. Making well balanced meals becomes quite a process for the elderly and thus the cycle of eating less and feeling less interested in eating begins. If the above considerations have been addressed, you might consider bringing the “experience” of eating back to the home. The smells of homemade soup cooking, watching and conversing with her caregiver while the meal is prepared and served are ways we have found successful for nutrition improvement. Family and social gatherings revolve around food and mealtimes. When we bring some of that life back into the home, we see miracles happen. Love is in the details.

Q A

Steam cleaning is a pressure washing spray system attached to a vacuum wand. As heated water is sprayed into the carpet at 3-500 psi soil is driven off the fibers deep into the carpet backing. This dirty water is then sucked back through the carpet removing most of the contaminated water. The carpet backing is now contaminated with soil, bacteria and germs and often covered with dirty water stains. Doesn’t sound very clean, does it? Oxy-Dry®, on the other hand, will effectively remove soil without pressure washing into the carpet backing. Drawing the soil up and out of the fiber without losing control through excessive water usage is critical. As the cleaning attachments agitate the ozone charged solution through the carpet fiber, soil is immediately removed, not driven deeper. Aqueous ozone kills all germs, bacteria and viruses on contact and obliterates deep down soil at the molecular level making it easier to remove in the extraction process. The soil continues to release with subsequent vacuuming. Oxy-Dry® is the deep clean that’s drier than steam!

Q A

I have been watching paralympic athletes on TV use really cool artificial limbs and equipment during their events. I’m an amputee. Are these available for me?

Paralympic athletes use specialized prostheses and adaptive equipment designed for their specific sport. Sport prosthesis can be designed for skiing, snowboarding, running or water sports. Skiing prostheses are very different from a running or an everyday prosthesis. Paralympic athletes usually wear a sport prostheses for their events and a different prosthesis for everyday. Sport prosthesis are not usually beneficial for everyday wear; however, it is possible to design your everyday prostheses to allow for recreational use. Rotators for golf, shock absorbing liners or dynamic feet can be designed into your everyday prosthesis. If you are interested in learning more about recreational prostheses talk to our Certified Prosthetists. Our Certified Prosthetists are available for free, no-obligation consultations.

Strong finish for KSS Owls at B.C. boys AAAA provincials

‘‘

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

After dropping their first game, the Kelowna Owls ran the table at the B.C. 4A boys basketball championship in Langley to finish with a more-than-respectable 3-1 record. Despite being one of just five teams at provincials to win three games or more, KSS settled for ninth place overall. Under last year’s format, the Owls would have placed sixth. Still, head coach Harry Parmar had nothing but praise for his team’s play at the 2014 B.C. high school finals. “The kids didn’t realize how close they were, maybe just a few plays away from being right there at the end,” said Parmar, in his seventh season

I told the boys that last year they would have been sixth. “Our older guys played well and our younger guys got some experience they can take with them.” The Owls, ranked No. 10 heading into the tournament, suffered their only defeat in the opening game on Wednesday, 92-

81, to No. 7 ranked Sardis. After that, KSS kicked its game into high gear, routing Prince George 101-39, then dousing Cowichan 79-67 in the consolation side semifinals. Then in the 9th/10th place game on Saturday afternoon, Kelowna took down Claremont in dramatic fashion, winning 74-72 in overtime.

KSS senior Buzz Truss was a force all tournament, scoring 106 points in four games, including 32 in the opener against Sardis. Parmar said Truss, who missed much of last season with a broken leg, showed the quality of player he is on the biggest stage of all. “He was really, really good,” Parmar said of Truss, who plans to play at UBC Okanagan next season. “He went out the way he should have, playing the best basketball of his high school career.” Truss is one of four Owls who are graduating from the program. The others are Cooper Simson, Eli Cato and Liam Duncan. In the B.C. final Saturday night, Sir Winston Churchill defeated Holy Cross 67-64.

WICKSTROM, MYRNA CAROL November 16, 1946 – March 13, 2014 Myrna passed away with her family by her side after a courageous battle with cancer. Her mother, father, one brother and daughter, Lesley, predeceased her. Myrna is survived by her loving husband John, of 43 years; daughters Lorna (Ron), Terry (Scott); son Derrick, along with her brother Mel of Edmonton. Myrna also leaves behind her precious granddaughters Morgan, Mackenzie, Kennedy, Cheyenne and Gabrielle. Myrna was born and raised in Edmonton and moved to Kelowna in 1986. During her time here, she volunteered for over 15 years at Cottonwoods Extended Care facility. She enjoyed raising and watching her family grow over her life. Myrna especially loved working in her yard with the grandchildren at her side as they were growing up. These were some of her fondest memories. In the later years of her life, she found joy in working and meeting new friends and acquaintances through her work. She would lend a hand to anyone in need and always had time to listen. One of her favourite pastimes was playing 5 cent keno with her daughters at the local casino. Myrna specifically requested that there be no service or public memorial on her passing. A private family gathering will be held in the near future. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made on her behalf to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association – Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2Z6.

sCapital News Tuesday, March 18, 2014

The BC Government is proposing to ofﬂoad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efﬁcient program that costs taxpayers less.

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that proﬁts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?”

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

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:
