t can be argued that volunteering is the lifeblood of Canadian society. For the millions of Canadians across this country who volunteer their time and expertise to a myriad of causes and organizations, their acts of giving help shape the society we live in. Without them, many services and programs would simply not be available and many organizations— especially those offering social services— would not be able to function. See story page 3

Non-profit groups rely on volunteers

VOLUNTEER Cally Closs (second from left) helps fellow volunteers lower Stephane Bonin on to the back of therapy horse Herbie at the Arion Therapeutic Riding Farm in Kelowna. ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

From A1 “There’s no question, our society would be very different without volunteers,” says Dawn Wilkinson, community services manager with Kelowna Community Resources. Wilkinson describes volunteering as “under valued and under recognized” but a natural necessity. And, in some cases, it’s event mandated by government. To incorporate as a not-for-profit organization in B.C., Wilkinson said a group must have at least three volunteers sit on its board. Many organizations have as many as nine. As we enter national Volunteer Week next week (April 6 to 12), a time set aside to recognize the contribution of volunteers, it’s worth noting an estimated 53 per cent of Kelowna area residents volunteer—higher than both the federal and provincial averages. And among the thousands of locals giving their time to everything from minor sports to daycares, health-related causes to fund-raising events, one woman is doing her part not only to volunteer but also raise awareness about the ongoing need locally to pitch in and lend a hand. Cally Closs had an idea a few months ago that she says slowly turned into an obsession. The 23-year-old life coach, who runs her own business, decided to take a month off work and donate her time to a different not-for-profit organization in Kelowna every day during the month of April. Her 30-Day Difference, as she calls it, has several goals. She wants to high-

light the need for volunteers and raise awareness of the 30 groups she will volunteer with during the month. She also wants the community to see just how many groups are out there that depend on volunteers. But most of all, she wants to inspire others to give their time. Closs plans to write about her experiences, as well talk about the organizations on her blog (callycloss.com/blog), she says her message is simple: get involved. “I want people to think: ‘If she’s doing this, why can’t I?’” says Closs, who has lived in Kelowna since she was three and during that time has been involved with a few volunteer projects both locally and in other countries. Unaware she was starting her 30-Day Difference just days before the start of national Volunteer Week, Closs said she was primarily inspired by her coaching work with individuals where she has seen the value and fulfilment that comes with contributing. ••• Volunteering plays a large role in many organizations in the Central Okanagan. One example is the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, a facility Closs will volunteer with later this month. According to Kathleen Lemieux, resource development coordinator for the shelter, last year its roster of volunteers provided 10,000 hours of work to help the shelter provide free services to women and their children. And that means more than just a safe place to stay. It means counselling, childcare, clothing and support. Like so many not-forprofit organizations across

the country, the Kelowna Women’s Shelter could not afford to pay for the time contributed by its volunteers, even at minimum wage. Without its volunteers, many, if not all of the services, would simply not be available. It’s a similar situation at the Kelowna Gospel Mission, where Closs saw first hand how critical those volunteers are during her first day of volunteering. During a tour of the facility on Leon Avenue in downtown Kelowna, she was shown where the men and women who use the shelter sleep and eat, as well as the many other services the mission provides, such as a free dental clinic staffed by volunteer dentists and hygienists and complete with modern equipment donated by other dental clinics. There is also a barbershop, staffed by volunteer hair stylists and she was told about the mission’s free chiropractic service offered by volunteer chiropractors. Then there is the mission’s thrift store, run by volunteers. The store not only relies on donations and the work of the volunteers, it also helps

cloth clients who use the mission and helps raise money to support its services and programs. “Some people think of us as simply a place to sleep and get a meal, but we offer much more,” says Sonja Menyes, volunteer coordinator for the Kelowna Gospel Mission. The mission has 82 beds for men and eight for women (it works in conjunction with the local women’s shelter) and provides showers, laundry facilities and even a place for people who are

staying there to keep their pets. And like other not-forprofit facilities, Menyes says it could not operate without volunteers. During her time at the mission, Closs worked in the kitchen, where she participated in preparation the 400 meals per day the mission provides for those on the streets in Kelowna. And she learned it is not just the people who run the facility who are appreciative of the work volunteers do—it’s also

the people who use the services. “Without the volunteers to help hold you up, it would be tough. They do a great job,” says Rob Riches, a former mission client who now volunteers his time to help at a facility that helped him when he needed it a few years ago. “Without the mission, it would be tough to get through the day for many people,” adds Riches. “It’s a Godsend to have that help.” ••• Illustrating the wide variety of groups that rely on volunteers in this community, the second day of Closs’s 30-DayDifference took her from the gritty downtown streets of Kelowna to the countryside of east Kelowna where she volunteered at Arion Therapeutic Riding Farm. The farm—which provides equine therapy for the disabled and special needs children and adults—has grown in the last few years, thanks to the work of a volunteer effort to raise more

than $150,000 to build an indoor riding arena. The building allows the farm to offer its services throughout the year more easily, especially in the winter. For many of its clients, the continuity of riding is as important as the riding therapy itself. The 12-acre farm keeps the 18-member staff, and about180 volunteers, very busy, says executive director Dustin Drader. “There’s no way we could do this without our volunteers,” he says, as one of the farm’s clients, Stephane Bonin, is lowered from his wheelchair onto the back of Herbie, a 10-year-old therapy horse. The procedure requires the help of at least three volunteers as well as head instructor Michelle Warren. Bonin, 32, has cerebral palsy and the riding therapy helps build up his strength.

Victim was engaged to be married

ALLEGED murder investigation victim Aimee Parkes with her fiance Ryan Quigley, who is now in police custody.

Aimee Parkes and Ryan Quigley were set to be married this summer. Now Mounties consider Parkes, 35, a murder victim and Quigley, 34, is

they were set to be married July 26. Several photos show the pair smiling. One picture shows their names written in sand, surrounded by a heart. Parkes, who was a branch assistant at a local bank, was found dead Tuesday morning. Investigators believe an autopsy will prove she was murdered. Steve Russell woke up Tuesday morning to police outside his home and tape up to his driveway, cordoning off his neighbour’s residence. He said he has known Quigley for 10 years, but recently noticed his neighbour was in a somber mood. “Within the last couple weeks he sold his vehicle, he sold all of his yard maintenance equipment

Fry Society, several staff members were shaken up after hearing Parkes had been found dead. “We’re pretty passionate about our work and whenever we hear of a loss of someone in town, you always wonder if there was anything you could’ve done, or is this someone you should’ve known about, or did know about,” said Novakowski. Domestic violence cases are a disturbingly consistent problem in the region. A Statistics Canada report released in 2012 showed Kelowna ranked third nationwide for incidents of domestic violence, with 346 police-reported victims per 100,000 people in 2010. Novakowski said it’s uncertain whether or not that number has lowered in recent years. “Our calls are pretty consistent—very high. We don’t have wait lists for our victim service program, but we are really stretched. We do find the severity is quite high here. “We have a criteria for the highest risk cases and we work, as a team, quite intensely on those cases to try to get women to safety and to try to have accountability for the offender.” According to an RCMP press release, police first responded to the Hiawatha mobile home park after Parkes failed to show up for work Tuesday morning. Capital News reached out to Parkes’ employer, CIBC Wood Gundy; however, they opted not to comment on the situation. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Orchardists challenged over need to burn farm waste Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There are other ways to deal with orchard waste than burning, according to the daughter of a wellknown orchardist who has a dickering point with the BCFGA’s opposition to burning permit fees. Dianne Patt grew up on the orchard her fath-

er, Harold King, owned in the South Okanagan and says her family heated their house on tree branches and fertilized their acreage by mulching. “Farmers should be stewards for the land… The burning isn’t good for any of us,” said Patt, noting her father always tried to put the environment first.

Whether it be minimizing pesticide use or mowing the leaves to spread beneath his trees, Patt said her father knew the best way to ensure the future of the industry was to protect the earth on which his trees were growing. “He never burned a branch in the 40 years he had the farm,” Patt said.

She has argued with orchardists who say it is impossible not to burn prunings on a large acreage. She knows first-hand that is not the case, as she hopes the administrative fees associated with the burn finally cut down the practice. On Monday, Kelowna city council was briefed

on concerns from orchardists that a $20 permit fee, implemented this year, is costing orchardists too much. Operating on a tight bottom line, the orchardists are arguing the $20, applied to each lot on which a farmer burns, will add up to hundreds of dollars—a needless expense in their view.

Kelowna Fire Chief Jeff Carlisle recommended the council keep the permit in place, saying it’s necessary to police the bylaws associated with burning season and ensure the farmers are not

accreditation. “It was definitely a lot of work but there are so many positives. “It shone a light on the program and increased the level of understanding of what we do. “The college gets nationwide recognition, students have a more valuable credential, and employers have reason for even greater confidence in our practicum students and graduates, knowing we adhere to national competencies.” The Okanagan College Therapist Assistant program was the first of its kind in Canada when it launched as a one-year

certificate in 1990, transforming into a two-year diploma in 2005. It was

one of the first programs to pursue and achieve accreditation, joining only

five other institutions to have successfully completed the process.

letter of the week Big city interests getting their way in town

Knowledge-driven society needs top reading skills

or many of us being able to read is often taken for granted. You get up in the morning, read the news, check the weather report and log in to Facebook—and each one of these actions requires reading. But what if you can’t read or your level of reading is low? The International Adult Literacy Survey measures reading ability on a scale of five levels. Level one and two are defined by a person’s understanding of the mechanics of reading. Essentially this means they know how to read and have a basic understanding of the words they are reading. Level three and higher is when someone can learn by reading. This

person has a high enough reading level to acquire knowledge and technical skills efficiently, which is necessary if you live in a country such as Canada where a Jane big part of the economy Muskens is knowledge driven. What this means is that most of the jobs in Canada require a high level of reading—level three and beyond—but there are a large number of Canadians who only have level one or two. According to data coming out of Statistics Canada’s “Youth in Transition 2000 Survey,” 40 per cent of youth who drop out of high school don’t have the level three literacy skills required to apply for jobs in Canada. This is the same for 50 per cent of recent

SCHOOL’S IN

immigrants, 65 per cent of aboriginal peoples, 60 per cent of students who drop out of college, and nine per cent of students who drop out of university. What this reaffirms is that we don’t have a jobs shortage in Canada we have a skills shortage. In other words, there are jobs only for those who have the right skills and one of those skills is being able to learn on the job, which requires a literacy level of at least level three or higher. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that studies report two-thirds of Canadian workers in the past five years had to learn new skills to perform their job. There are probably a lot of people who are currently employed who struggle to learn new skills and many more who are unemployed or working in a minimum wage job because they don’t have the reading skills necessary to get

a better one. Take for example someone who works in retail. On their first day on the job, they need to be trained on how to use the cash register. This might require reading a manual and understanding the store’s accounting and inventory system, which is linked directly to the data inputted into the cashier. Even though most of this work includes scanning barcodes, not every transaction is that simple. Returns, cou- a pons and cashing out requires an ad- t vanced set of literacy skills, including g numeracy. I While it may sound basic, these i tasks require the worker to learn and h apply new skills. d Take this one step further, someone r is hired to work in an engineering firm w o See Muskens A9t

POLYNESIAN DANCING

▼ WORLD NEWS

Another voice on Ukraine situation To the editor: While I would agree with most of Monika Hudecova’s arguments about the current economic, political and moral state of the world, expressed in her insightful letter, Russia Plays Out Political Game Its Own Way (March 20 Capital News), a couple of her direct statements need clarification. 1. Yes, the U.S. had invested $5 billion, but it did so over the span of some 22 years, since 1991, not within the last few months, as she implies. 2. The Ukrainian Svoboda (or Freedom) Party is a right wing nationalist party, not a

Nazi party, thus similar to such parties in Austria and France, and received about 10.5 per cent of the vote during the last election, which gave it the proportionate number of seats in the Ukrainian parliament. It was formed by the merger of a few small parties, one of which chose the unfortunate name, National Socialist Party for itself, which is why Mr. Putin refers to them as “Nazis.” And yes, while some of the Svoboda Party’s current activities might seem rather harsh by contemporary Western standards, one has to consider the revolutionary atmosphere there, before judging them. To blame

them for the killing of the protesters, plainly shot by the police special forces snipers, would require a valid proof, otherwise it would also disqualify most of her otherwise solid observations as equally flawed. In conclusion, I can express my hope that, in the long run, things will turn out better for the Ukrainian people than they did for most of the population of the former East European countries, whose disappointment with the outcome was summed up by a Slovenian writer: “We dreamt of freedom, only to wake up in capitalism.” Wence Horak, Kelowna

Plenty of sources for variety of news To the editor: Re: Int’l Media Prefer Mono-News Coverage, March 25 Capital News. I suspect that [letter writer] Mr. Lloyd Atkins in Vernon must have had his TV set locked on CNN, to the exclusion of all other news services. His complaint that the international news agencies over-did the cover-

age of the mystery of the missing Malaysian passenger jet is slightly off the mark. CNN expanded their coverage to 24 hours, seven days a week— that was a judgment they made. They cannot be compared to other 24-hour news operations. During the heights of the coverage of the

missing 230 plus people of that plane, I watched, listened and read many newscasts. I was able to pick up stories about the following (and this a short list and not in order of importance): • The fiasco of the appointment of Nadon to Canada’s Supreme court • The Washington land slide

• The stand-off between Crimea and Russia • The Nuclear Summit in the Netherlands and the Group of 8 decision to ignore Russia and make it the Group of 7 • The outbreak of measles in B.C. • The Quebec election • The location of the Kelowna Farmers’ Market.

“Build a mountain out of a mole hill and then recycle it ad nauseam”? We are talking about the disappearance of more than 230 people—a mystery that defies logic and the most complicated technical aides in the world. Stuart Morrison, Kelowna

▼ FARMERS’ MARKET

Moving to Kelowna’s North End would be bringing the market to the people To the editor: I would like to comment on the article in the March 25 issue about the Kelowna farmers’ market. [Farmers’ Market Could Split to Two Sites, Capital News] Jennifer Smith says that the vote against moving the market to the North End of Kelowna would prevent “downtown foodies from a lazy walk to pick up farm fresh produce’. I question the use of the word ‘lazy’ and ‘foodies’ here, as it suggests that walking is lazier than driving—which seems doubtful—and that buying produce directly from

the farmer is a lifestyle fashion. This is not a fashion. Walking or riding to a local market for fresh food is a much better way to shop in so many ways that it seems unnecessary to spell them out. There are plenty of people who live in and near the downtown area who would be able to shop without using a car. This is a good thing, right? All the literature I’ve read about contemporary urban planning indicates that this is an important element in the creation of a vibrant downtown area. People, not cars should be the primary

concern. I thought we were trying to invigorate the downtown? The timid but positive restriction of traffic on Bernard seems some indication that this is part of the plan. If we encourage people to use alternative transportation options (walking, biking) then traffic and parking problems will be diminished. This means making alternatives convenient. I ride to the market anyway so this wouldn’t change much for me but if I were living in one of the large highrise condo buildings in the downtown core I would be de-

Search for skills solutions Muskens from A8 and the job requires them to use new software programs as well as email. If their level of reading is below level three, it’s highly unlikely they will develop the competency required to utilize the software without hours of one-on-one training and they will find it difficult to

communicate effectively through email. Many people complain about children spending too much time on computers and smart phones, but at least they are being exposed to the written language and must develop literacy skills to understand the technology and communicate with each other.

If only we could create online and electronic games that move beyond level two literacy competencies, we’d make significant inroads into finding a solution for the skills shortage. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

lighted to see a market within walking distance. You don’t have to be a ‘foodie’ to appreciate fresh food. A market in the North End would draw people into the downtown area—tourists and residents. Isn’t that what we want? The current location for the market is a parking lot which works as a temporary home (the only charm of the place is the market itself as nothing attractive surrounds it) but it would be so much better if it were designed to service the highest con-

centration of people in the area (downtown) and if it were surrounded by small businesses as is being proposed by developer Gary Tebbutt—like Granville Island—like all markets in those Old World cities we love to visit. Bring the market to the people and you can worry a lot less about bringing the people to the market. The city is apparently planning two new parking lots downtown. What’s the problem?

NEWS ▼ MATTHEW FOERSTER

Closing arguments given at murder trial Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

News from your community www.kelownacapnews.com

“Taylor Van Diest caught her own killer.” Those words opened Crown counsel Iain Currie’s final submission in the murder trial for Cherryville man Matthew Foerster. Currie argued that Foerster, 28, intended to sexually assault Van Diest, when he followed her down a pathway adjacent to railway tracks in Armstrong, Halloween 2011. When she fought him off, Currie said, Foerster decided to kill her, delivering multiple blows to her head, thus meeting the requirement for a first degree murder conviction. That story, he told jurors, came directly from Van Diest’s own hands. “My submission to you is that the fingernail…it tells you, in respect to the attempted sex assault, that Taylor Van Deist fought back,”

said Currie, referring to the blood Van Diest got under her nail when she scratched Foerster’s neck. “It tells you, in respect to intention, that Taylor Van Diest’s killer was careful. He took the weapon away from the scene—he took everything away from the scene, but for the DNA in the nail bed of Taylor Van Diest’s finger…” Van Diest also wrote about the events leading to her fatal interaction with Foerster in messages she sent to friends. Those words were entered into evidence throughout the two week trial. A prolific texter, the 18-year-old’s last message told friends she was being “creeped” then, just 38 seconds later, another message was composed, but never delivered. Her phone was found mere metres from where her body was later recovered. “That tells you that it was sudden. Whatever happened to make Taylor Van Diest drop her phone, we know it was unexpect-

wasn’t mysterious. “You can reasonably conclude that she meant, ‘holy cow,’ ‘holy expletive,’ something was happening,” said Currie. “She was being creeped and…whatever happened next was sudden, sufficiently unexpected and caught her unaware so she dropped her phone.” Then, Currie said, Foerster’s own evidence reinforces that tale. Foerster admitted early in the trial that he caused the injuries that killed Van Diest, but he was less clear when it came to his intent. Highlighting a confession that came out during Foerster’s post arrest interrogation, Currie said it was a “good moral decision” but evasiveness about specific details can simply be assigned to a desire to protect self image, and a lack of interest in reliving a “horrific” act. “It’s my submission to you that all of that together, there’s only one conclusion—that Mr. Foerster intended, when he walked behind Taylor Van Diest Halloween night 2011, he went there for a sexual assault,” Currie said. When Foerster took that flashlight and he battered Taylor Van Diest over the head, Currie said, he was intending to kill her. “Everything that Taylor Van Diest’s killer did that day was purposeful. The fingernail was the only variable that Mr. Foerster could not control.” Currie argued that the alcohol bottle that periodically appeared as evidence of intoxication was not something that should have been factored into the argument. All the evidence presented indicated that Van Diest and Foerster never tread further north of the point where the teen was fatally attacked. That bottle, however, did. Currie also noted Foerster’s actions after the attack, saying they didn’t really reflect mind-altered intoxication. The accused killer admitted during his interrogation he drove away from where he met Van Diest toward Lumby, but not before taking a stop in Vernon’s downtown to dump a Maglite, a shoelace and his black jacket. Foerster’s defence lawyer Lisa Jean Helps relied on the bottle to fur-

ther a case for an intoxication argument in her closing submission. There was no DNA or fingerprints found on the bottle, but she said it was left by Foerster. Helps said that the question lingering even with all the evidence presented was whether Foerster was intending to kill Van Diest when he hit her over the head multiple times. “He did not,” she said. Helps argued that painting Foerster as a sexual predator was an illogical argument. If he were looking to sexually attack someone, the pathway that Van Diest was fatally injured on would not be ideal, she explained. A lot of people were nearby for the festivities at the Interior Provincial Exhibition grounds, she said, and there were balconies that overlooked that pathway. That spot, she reasoned, would not be where she’d go if she were a sexual predator. She also took aim at the argument that Foerster subdued Van Diest for an attack with a shoe lace. Picking up one of the teen’s shoes that had been submitted into evidence, she said that the lace was too thick to match up with the marks on the teen’s neck. Dress shoes, she said, had laces too thin. She suggested that Van Diest’s bra had been pulled and left behind marks across her neck. And the fatal wound on Van Diest’s skull, she argued, likely was a result of the teen stumbling over slippery railroad tracks and falling on her head. As for context, Van Diest died after a pick-up gone awry, she explained to jurors. Slowing down Currie’s timeline, Helps pointed out that Foerster said the two spoke that night. He may have been checking her out, and had “sex on the mind” but he wasn’t looking to assault the young woman, she reasoned. “At the end of the day, we don’t know what happened between them,” she said. “She screamed, there was the infliction of injuries, he panicked and left.” The jury will get directions from Justice Peter Rogers this morning and start their deliberations after that.

communities they serve.” The mission of the CDA is to lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while we work to find a cure. This campaign is timely as diabetes is a serious disease that has reached epidemic proportions in Canada. Currently, more than nine million Canadians, or one in four, are living with diabetes or prediabetes—a number expected to rise to one in three by 2020. Funds raised from the campaign will be used to support diabetes research, provide residents with local diabetes educational resources including hosting educational events in the community and advocacy work. Stone said the CDA is proud of our diabetes advocates. Recently, she said, the provincial government extended the provincial insulin pump program to age 25. This is a great next step in ensuring people with diabetes have the tools they need to better

manage their disease, ultimately improving their health and quality of life, she explained. Proceeds will additionally be used to help send children with type 1 diabetes to the Canadian Diabetes Association’s D-Camp, Camp Kakhamela in British Columbia, one of 12 camps across Canada that provide a unique experience to 1,600 children and youth living with type 1 diabetes each year. “You can help fight diabetes in your community—a little time can make all the difference. Choose to canvass in your own neighbourhood, at your workplace, amongst friends and family, or donate,” said Stone. “The power of our collective efforts can make a significant impact in the lives of those living with diabetes.” For volunteer opportunities and to make an impact in your community, contact Cheryl Stone at 250-762-9447, toll-free 1-888-628-9494 or email cheryl.stone@diabetes.ca.

MUSEUM EXHIBIT

What do a former police officer, an ultra-marathoner, an overseas volunteer and an official ice swimmer have in common? They are all featured in the upcoming The Ripple Effect exhibit at the Okanagan Heritage Museum. “The Ripple Effect is a feel good show about ordinary people being extraordinary,” said guest museum curator Hanna Karin. “We want to inspire people of all ages to get involved, to be their best, and create their own ripple effect.” Through photographs, stories, videos and unique 3D instalments, visitors will learn about the featured “ripplers” and their passions, as well as advice on following in their footsteps. Avoiding hypothermia, how to become an international volunteer/ successful fundraiser and what it is like to be a male diagnosed with breast cancer are some of the topics presented in the exhibit. “We have Crystal cycling up a pile of books, George is floating in a hot air balloon and Paul is in a fridge,” said curatorial manager Patti Kilback. “As for Peter, we are really excited about incorporating him into elements from the popular Out of the Shadow, Into the Light breast cancer exhibit.” Two of the stars of the show are from Kelowna, one is from Winnipeg and one from Ottawa. According to Kilback, the exhibit is designed to travel across the country, and so staff purposely chose people within and outside of the Okanagan. Peter Platt is a former police officer from Ottawa. After being diag-

nosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and breast cancer, Platt found part of his healing process was by helping others. He became an important advocate for both causes. Paul Duffield’s perseverance and success in the risky world of ice swimming pushes the limits of human endurance. The West Kelowna athlete is Canada’s first recognized International Ice Swimmer. Kelowna’s Crystal Flaman is a record-setting athlete and fundraiser. She has personally raised more than $1.4 million for charity organizations such as Room to Read through running, cycling and swimming competitions. George Harris, from Winnipeg, is a lifer in the world of volunteering. For 46 years, Harris has done professional volunteer placements in Africa (23 years) and in Winnipeg. At 70, he is still going strong with his community commitments. This is Hanna’s second exhibit with Kelowna Museums. Her first was the highly successful 2009 rock climbing exhibit, On Solid Ground. The Ripple Effect runs from April 10 to Sept. 27, at the Okanagan Heritage Museum, 470 Queensway Ave. Admission is by donation.

Trooper will be the featured main stage performer for the Peachfest on Thursday, Aug. 7. In their only previous appearance at Peachfest in 2011, Trooper attracted a record crowd of some 7,000 people to the Okanagan Lake Park venue. Peachfest entertainment director Bill Kolter said he gets asked more often about Trooper’s re-

turn than any act in the 20-plus years he has been involved with the festival. “Every few days, for the past three years, someone asks me when we are bringing back Trooper,” Kolter said, noting the concert is presented wit no admission charge thanks to the sponsorship of Peters Bros. “You know you always have a good time when you go to see Trooper,” he added. Other Peachfest entertainment headliners previously announced include Emerson Drive on Wednesday, Aug. 6, and The Stampeders on Saturday, Aug. 9. The 67th annual Peach Festival takes place Aug. 6 to 10.

Lavallee is a painter, also living and working in Winnipeg who has worked on a new body of work for this exhibition.

JOHHNY CASH; OUT AMONG THE STARS [COLUMBIA] This ‘new’ Johnny Cash album is sitting in the top five album sales in most of the western world while it has topped the country charts. But when the bulk of this album was recorded in the spring of 1984 (there are 2 tracks from an ‘81 session) it almost certainly would have bombed on release. At the time Cash albums just were not selling as country and western had turned to the pop flavours of ‘countrypolitan’ music and Cash was about to change recording labels (meaning next to no promotion). Furthermore, it has been reported that Cash wasn’t happy with the pop nature of Out Among The Stars and didn’t push to have it released. But absence makes the heart grow fonder and there is a huge demand for Cash’s wonderful music and rich baritone voice now that he has passed on—out among

temporaneous’ sound to a remake of She Used To Love Me A Lot with eerie, echoed synth and sonic FXs which probably will not pass the test of time. Old fans won’t be unhappy but at the same time I doubt they are going to rush out and buy up the rest of Cash’s ’80s catalogue. Out Among The Stars is just a reminder of how great Cash was and the terrific sales reflects how much we love and miss him. B-

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell the stars. And this is a fairly strong album. There is the domestic bliss of the very pretty and poppy sounding Tennessee as well as some pop rockabilly on Rock N Roll Shoes. There is a classic Cash country gospel on the redemptive I Came To Believe with a slight reference to his then mostly cured drug problems while there is also a rousing duet with his wife June Carter Cash on Baby Ride Easy, that had been a hit a short while before for his stepdaughter Carlene Carter with Dave Edmunds in the U.K. There isn’t a dud on this strong album where Cash even shows a bit of humour on a few tracks. Meanwhile, Elvis Costello adds a ‘con-

ELVIS PRESLEY; RECORDED LIVE ON STAGE IN MEMPHIS [RCA] In the 1970s Elvis flooded the market with live albums. He released a half dozen of them in that decade and all have something to recommend them even if the number of concert LPs was overkill. Most of those albums celebrated some sort of cooked up live ‘event’ like From Hawaii By Satellite or At Madison Square Garden etc.

So it is now 40 years since the original release of Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis and RCA has released this as a 2CD set which greatly expands the recording from the dozen songs of yesteryear to 25 tracks. RCA also includes the previous gig recorded in Richmond Virginia as it was a note for note ‘rehearsal’ concert for the big Memphis showcase which marked Presley’s first stage performance in his home town in over a decade. Finally, for good measure, there are also five previously unreleased studio rehearsal tracks highlighted by Good Time Charlie’s Got The Blues. Elvis trivia buffs will notice that instead of the usual live shot of Elvis on the cover as per force, this set has a picture of his Graceland home emphasizing that Elvis had indeed returned. I just wonder if the new Cash released will cut into sales for Elvis with those looking for some fine old nostalgia. C+

Novak stellar at B.C. Senior Bowl Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

When Kelowna Secondary School football player Conner Novak hit the field for a week of work-outs at the B.C. Lions Training facility last month, it was a chance to measure his abilities against the top graduating high school football players in the province. The 17-year-old Novak was invited to attend the Football B.C. Senior Bowl along with other top high school football players in B.C. Players were either provincial allstars, members of Team B.C.’s Under-18 program or players who stood out at evaluations held across the province. And after completing a dominating season in his last year as a member of the KSS Owls, the 6-1, 250 pound defensive lineman didn’t disappoint

at the Senior Bowl, which culminated with an all star game after a week-long practice camp. Novak was named defensive MVP of the game and top defensive lineman at the camp. “It was a great experience,” said Novak this week. “The competition was tough. Everyone was fighting pretty hard to show who was the best. I definitely felt like I made an impression on some players and coaches out there. It was a great group of players and no one was playing selfishly. It was just clean, smash-mouth football.” And the momentum Novak gained at the camp has pushed him closer to finding a place to play following his graduation from KSS this year. Novak is currently mulling over several options of where to ply his trade next year. He’s in the pro-

cess of committing to a team from a few different options, including CIS schools the University of Calgary and UBC as well as the Okanagan Sun, still playing in the Canadian Junior Football League but heading to the CIS at some point. Novak says it’s not an easy decision to make but adds his dream has always been to play at a higher level after high school and he’s happy to have a

choice to make. “It’s really quite stressful to have to make a choice, whether you want to leave home or not, what school will treat you the best and what kind of education you can get,” said Novak. “When I started playing high school I knew I wanted to keep playing and as the years went by it started to look like that dream of moving to the higher level could become a reality.”

So while the defensive lineman considers his options, one thing is clear, he is saying goodbye to the high school game and a band of brothers in the KSS football program where he learned his trade. This year Novak was awarded the KSS coach’s award for dedication on and off the field at KSS, the highest honour in the school’s football program. “Connor has all the

tools,” said KSS football coach Shane Sommerfeld. “He’s got the work ethic, the strength, the skills and the academics to move on to university. He was a pleasure to work with and always kept a positive attitude, even when things went south. He just kept fighting and kept grinding and never got down.” Novak says his high school experience couldn’t have been better. “KSS will definite-

ly be an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life,” he said. “It’s not just a sport it’s a family. I will always look back and remember how we bonded as brothers on and off the field. For us it was a family. Once you are on the team together you are brothers forever.” kparnell @kelownacapnews.com

Rockets’ Bowey signs pro deal with Capitals

Madison Bowey

WKB444

After a record-setting regular season with the Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets, defenseman Madison Bowey was rewarded Wednesday with a three-year, entry-level contract by the NHL’s Washington Capitals on Wednesday. The contract begins with the 2014-15 season. Bowey, 18, who was chosen by the Capitals in the second round (No. 53) of the 2013 NHL Draft, is in his third season with the Rockets. “It’s nice to see Madison get this out of the way

and get a contract signed,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “It’s neat to see a guy come in as a 16-year-old, develop and improve, get drafted and sign that first NHL contract. We’re real happy for Madison.” The Winnipeg native had a team-record 21 goals and 60 points in 72 games this season while serving his fist year as captain. A second-round pick of Kelowna in the 2010 WHL bantam draft, he had three points in his first

five WHL playoff games this year. Bowey’s 21 goals in the regular season set a single season mark for Rockets blue liners, eclipsing the previous mark of 19 set by Tyson Barrie in the 2009-10 season. He finished fourth in Rockets scoring with 60 points and was plus-44 on the blueline. Bowey and the Rockets resume their secondround WHL playoff series Saturday night at Prospera Place with Game 2 against the Seattle Thunderbirds.

Playoff series a homecoming for Seattle T’Birds captain STAFF REPORTER

Justin Hickman’s first couple of visits to Prospera Place as a member of the Seattle Thunderbirds were, to say the least, a little unnerving. More than three years later, the butterflies are pretty much gone, but not the anticipation the 19-year-old forward experiences every time he steps on to the ice in his hometown. “It was pretty nerve wracking my first few times here, but I’ve been there enough now that I just go out and play and don’t think about it too much,” said Hickman, a product of Kelowna Minor Hockey. “But it’s always pretty special to come home, especially with the family and friends I have there.

Wiese on third, not the mound The Capital News would like to apologize for an error in its feature on Okanagan College Coyotes baseball player Garrett Wiese that appeared in the Friday, March 28 edition. Wiese was wrongly identified as a pitcher while the fourth-year player is actually a third baseman. Meanwhile, the Coyotes will continue its season this weekend in Kamloops taking part in the Best of the West tournament that begins Friday. OC faces Thompson Rivers University (3-1) for the first time this season and the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs (51).

ing there. “Coming back as a Thunderbird is different, but it’s exciting. We have developed a really good rivalry with (the Rockets).” A second-round bantam draft pick of the T’Birds in 2009, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Hickman didn’t waste time busting on to the roster, making the team as a 16-year-old in 2010. With each passing season, Hickman has become increasingly more valuable, on and off the ice. In addition to taking over the captaincy of the T’Birds this season, Hickman netted career highs for goals (22), points (46) and penalty minutes (154). Still, Seattle head coach Steve Konowalchuk said there is far more substance to Hickman’s value than statistics.

Last season, an epic first-round struggle saw Seattle win the first three games, before Kelowna rallied to win the next four game and the series. With an older, more experienced team than last year Hickman expects his team to put up a good fight—but at the same time knows toppling

the Canadian Hockey League’s No. 1 team will be a formidable task. “They’re very good and have a deep lineup that can put the puck in the net,” Hickman said. “It’ll be a tough task. I feel as a group we’re a better team. We’re coming in as underdogs, and I think it’s going to be a heated bat-

Volunteerism spirit defines quality of life for a community help steady Bonin on the horse’s back. According to his caregiver Kathy Charlesworth, Bonin looks forward to his weekly visits to the farm. “The volunteers really are amazing,” says Charlesworth. “The work they do is so important for people like Stephane and it allows him to get out and enjoy life.” For Closs, an experienced horsewoman herself who has competed in rodeos, the experience at Arion was something new. “With the therapeutic aspect and getting to meet

some of the clients, it was really amazing,” she says. “I’ve only started but I’m really realizing the wide variety of volunteering opportunities there are out there.” With Arion expanding its offerings—it now has programs for both special needs and non-special needs children and adults—as well as being a horse farm that requires the usual upkeep, the work force of volunteers is varied. For Barb Gebert and Ruth Klette, who have been volunteering at Arion since day one, working at the farm is rewarding. The pair, who met on

that first day and have been friends since, have also been able to add their own touch to what the farm offers. The women work their shifts together and cleared what was a weed and nettled covered creek bank on the property on their own time to create what they call the farm’s “therapy garden.” It’s now a small, tranquil, grassed area where visitors to the farm like to sit, chat and contemplate life. “Our shifts start at 10:30 (a.m.) so we would come in at eight and just start clearing,” says Gebert, “It’s very rewarding.”

••• And it is that sense of reward that Wilkinson says drives many who volunteer. She says while most want to give back in some way, few volunteers will continue long-term if they feel they are not getting something out of the work they are doing. And for most volunteers, that is the sense they are making their community a better place. According to national volunteering statistics, 93 per cent of Canadians volunteer to help improve their community. Nationally, 47 per cent of Canadians volunteer. In B.C. that number rises to

49 per cent and in Kelowna it is even higher at 53 per cent. The average number of hours volunteered locally by individuals is 248, well above the B.C. and national averages. Despite that strong local volunteer spirit, any group that relies on volunteers will tell you there is always the need for more. Every September, Kelowna Community Resources holds its annual Volunteer Fair that tries to match up potential volunteers with local groups looking for help. Last year’s fair attracted more than 1,000 people to check out the 80 not-for-profit organiz-

thank volunteers. For more information on all three events go to: http://kcr.ca/ community-services/ community-information-volunteer-centre/ volunteer-not-for-profit-services/national-volunteer-week/. As for Closs, she will continue her 30-Day Difference in the hope that even more people will follow her lead and find a cause they can help. The groups she will work with are varied, some better known than others, including Canadian Mental Health, the Inn From The Cold shelter, Habitat For Humanity, the Harmony Barbershop Society, The Responsible Animal Care Society, the local boys’ and girls’ clubs, the Seniors’ Outreach Society, B.C. Interior Horse Rescue and SSNA MedWatch. “I expect it will be eye-opening but I think it will reinforce what I’m trying to do, and that’s get people involved,” says Closs.

The public is invited to a free presentation on Monday, April 7, by primatologist, conservationist and ethologist Birut Galdikas. It is the final event in this season’s Distinguished Speaker Series, presented by UBCO’s Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. In her talk, Galdikas will transport her audience to the lush rainforests of Borneo, to meet the endangered orangutans. Through personal stories and anecdotes, Galidikas will paint a picture of four decades spent in the jungle studying and working closely with orangutans, focusing on the remarkable bond between humans and the endangered primates, gentlest of the great apes. She will talk about the love, dedication and hope

for the survival of the species. Galdikas has been working in Central Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), studying and protecting wild orangutans and forest since 1971. Galdikas is concerned with wild orangutan behaviour, the development of orangutan conservation programs, and the re-introduction of captured individuals into the wild. She established the first orangutan rehabilitation and release program in Kalimantan. She is a professor in the archaeology department at Simon Fraser University. The lecture takes place in the Kelowna Community Theatre, 1375 Water St., starting at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

ations which had displays. And that match-making pays off, says Wilkinson. As an example, the Kelowna Museums Society had 200 people express interest at the fair and a year later 30 of them are still volunteering with the society. This year, the Volunteer Fair will celebrate its 17th anniversary. In addition, Kelowna Community Resources also has an ongoing webbased volunteer opportunities search available on its website (http://kelowna.cioc.ca/volunteer/) that allows a person to enter his or her details and what they would like to do. A not-for-profit that could potentially be a match then contacts the person. As for next week, KCR will mark national Volunteer Week with three volunteer-oriented events, a workshop aimed at helping volunteer managers and coordinators, a forum for volunteer board members and an exhibit at the Kelowna Museum to

Laser therapy treatments help heal aches and pains

had a patient recently whose complaint was pretty common. She complained of shoulder pain that was described as “achy most of the time with the occasional shooting knife-like pain.” Her pain was exponentially worse in certain ranges of motion. She was unable to do up her own bra or tuck her shirt into the back of her pants. To grab something at arm’s length was impossible. It got so bad that she could not sleep on the affected side. In the end, prior to seeing me, her shoulder pain would wake her nightly. Her pain was there for over six months and it did not seem to be getting any better. She tried massage, physiotherapy and acupuncture. She eventually went to her medical doctor who gave her a cortisone injection. Twice. No changes. She saw me because her husband, a patient of mine, told her he was -tired of hearing her com-plaints and insisted that nshe come see me. n- She was reluctant, -to say the least. She had -never seen a doctor of s-chiropractic and was consfused as to why she was d d-t -t -

I asked her questions as to the injury and its progression for about 20 minutes. I then examined her for another 20 minutes. I was able to reproduce her pain via a series of orthopedic tests and tissue palpation. The answer became obvious. She had a repetitive strain injury of one of the muscles in her rota-

tor cuff. I told her it was low intensity laser therapy that she needed. It would remove the binding scar tissue, bring in a brand new blood supply to the injured area and allow the body to heal itself. The changes would be permanent and corrective. Since then, she has had her second treatment and she reported a subjective 70 per cent improvement. The theory is simple. Find the problem. Fix it. Leave it alone. The body has a limitless ability to heal itself. The laser speeds that process and you heal like you did when you were nine years old. About 60 per cent of all my laser therapy patients are those that suffer from shoulder injuries. No, laser therapy is not for tattoo removal or the eradication of cellulite, at least mine is not. It is used to treat patients who suffer from pain. Just pain. In each treatment, lasting 30 to 45 minutes, I use three separate lasers. The first removes scar tissue and reduces inflammation. The second starts a process called angiogenesis. This is where the body creates a brand new blood supply to the in-

DEDICATED DONOR…

Kelowna resident Else Nance is an example of how an individual can rally a community to help save lives. On Thursday, Nance made her 200th donation at the Kelowna Blood Donor Clinic, at 103-1865 Dilworth Dr., where she’s been a volunteer for the past two years. She began donating at age 18 while training to be a nurse and has continued to donate every 56 days. Nance, who turns 75 at the end of April, says she’ll donate and volunteer as long as she is healthy. To learn more about blood donor opportunities with Canadian Blood Services visit www.blood.ca.

NEWS ▼ CITY PARK

Bring back Regatta, Aquatic Centre pool and stands A ll the various wise sayings about the past and future bounce around the brain in conflict and affirmation—don’t let the past get in the way of the future; yesterday is dead and gone, and tomorrow is out of sight; constant change is here to stay. It’s hard to step forward if one foot is pointing back—the list goes on and on. Depending upon opinion, desire or debate taking place, one can always find the perfect words to match the scenario. Regardless, a number of long-time local yokels are kicking the dust off an old fond memory hoping to use it as stimulus to create a fun and effective future for Kelowna. Brian Sprout, Don Burnett, and a growing number of other longtime Kelowna residents

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge are attempting to resurrect the creation of a new Aquatic Centre in City Park. I salute them for their hard work and vision. They have my complete support. It’s a concept that demands plenty of time, energy, communication, and money to become a reality—yet one I believe will succeed. Best of all, it’s a classic example of how a small group of people with a good idea and the right impetus and determination can create positive change in their community.

The idea of recreating a fun, family friendly and financially feasible replica of the popular outdoor swimming and openair entertainment area in City Park has been kicked around ever since the original building burnt to the ground in the late 1960s. I still recall with absolute shock standing on Hot Sands beach that day and watching flames engulf the wooden grand stands, outdoor pool and stage on the park’s northwest corner beachfront. Apparently, a couple of kids were smoking under the tinder dry stands and accidentally left a cigarette burning. Regardless of the cause, a facility that played host to hundreds of events during annual Regatta festivals and other summer events in Kelowna was suddenly gone. In hindsight, it was the

beginning of the end of an era for our park, considered by some as marking the park’s ‘end of innocence’ timeline. Certainly it impacted future Regatta events, marked the beginning of the end of the outdoor, fresh water pool popularity. Kelowna residents only assumed it would be a short matter of time before the structure returned. But it never did. These past two weeks, however, residents Sprout and Burnett and others have kick-started the idea of rebuilding the grandstands, outdoor pool with diving boards, and other such amenities back on the original site. Sprout posted the idea on his Facebook page and hundreds of current and former area residents have responded positively. Sprout and friends are

ing column for the Capital News. “Well, they’re right, we are. But it is also much more than that. Regardless of whether you lived here back then (when the original facility existed) or not, there is no question that a facility like this is needed and wanted in the park,” Burnett said. “City Park was and is a place for locals and tourists alike to enjoy our wonderful beaches and water, hang around the downtown area, and take in everything wonderful about Kelowna. “That facility brought life into the park and the downtown and would do so again. “I really think this can happen if we give it a real effort.” I concur. My fondest memories as a youth was the ability to go to the park and take part in Regatta swimming events for free, watch performances in a safe, fun environment, and meet with friends. The old facility of-

fered and inspired that and a similar facility would do so again. I take the group’s facility plan a step further and hope to see it complimented by a return of the actual Regatta itself again. I am not talking about a huge corporate, expensive event, but a fun, family oriented, community event in the park— sans the restrictive fences and outrageous fees. Regardless, this Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Sprout, Burnett and others (including moi) will be meeting at the old pool stands location and rallying support for the event. “We are not looking for any money at this time, we are simply collecting names of people who are supportive of the plan and want to see our goal move forward,” Sprout explained. I hope to see you there because your indicated support does matter. Sometimes, taking a page from the past can assist with writing a wonderful script for the future.

looking at possibly forming a non-profit organization to spearhead the project, and are planning on selling ‘shares’ for $25 to help begin the fundraising. The response has been amazing. “I think the state of our City Park is a shame and the fact that the old Aquatic Centre was never returned is sad. For many years I’ve heard people say it’s too bad it was never rebuilt and finally I thought it was time to at least see if there was some serious interest in the idea,” Sprout told me earlier this week. “I figured it was time to find out so I posted the idea after talking to a couple of friends and it has just taken off.” Indeed. “Some folks might think this is just a bunch of old guys who are stuck in the past and want to recreate the good old days,” said Burnett, who hosts his own gardening radio show on AM 1150 every Saturday morning and writes a garden-

SURFERS head out to catch the waves at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, Calif.

An insider’s guide to the best in Santa Cruz, California Richard Scheinin CONTRIBUTOR

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.—Oh, Santa Cruz, it’s your betwixtness that defines you. Culture and counterculture. Forest and sea. Surfers and professors. (Or surfers who are professors.) You are quirky, funky and laid-back, yes. But you also have superb restaurants, repertory movie houses that rival San Francisco’s (The Nick, 210 Lincoln St.), thriving independent bookstores and the best jazz club on the West Coast (Kuumbwa Jazz centre, 320-2 Cedar St.). With only 62,000 residents, you are unique; your small population belies your large reputa-

tion. You are a state of mind, for sure, but you also offer a thousand things to do, including new ones every day. That’s why I never get tired of you. You’ve been my hometown for 26 years, and this is my Insider’s Guide to you, the city of Santa Cruz, the jewel of California’s Central Coast.

THE WESTSIDE

Five minutes from downtown, this neighbourhood has taken off, and much of the activity centres on Swift and Ingalls streets (just off Mission Street, the main drag). Visit the micro-boutique wineries (www.surfcityvintners.com), a

whole cluster of them, offering tastings and surrounded by cool shops selling designer clothes, high-end lights, high-end yarn, fancy meats. Enjoy one of the seasonal ales at the all-organic (and often crowded) Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing (402 Ingalls St.). Linger over a creamy bowl of polenta at Kelly’s French Bakery (402 Ingalls St.), which shares a spacious patio with the surrounding shops, a favourite gathering spot for locals. Turn the corner and shop for French linens at Vero France (330 Ingalls St.). I know, I know. Too much laid-back stimulation (it’s that betwixtness, again), too much comfort—and just another day on the Westside, which has become a hot spot for dining. Check

out these restaurants: O’mei (the Cui Pi orange beef!), Bantam (gourmet pizzas), West End Tap & Kitchen (great burgers), Ristorante Avanti (chicken cacciatore), and Your Place (which just opened and has exceptional sand dabs, delicately breaded and lightly sauteed). But the best parts of the Westside are outdoors: Begin at nearby Seymour Marine Discovery centre: Touch a swellshark, view the 87-foot skeleton of a blue whale, walk the cliffs (100 Shaffer Road, http://seymourcentre.ucsc.edu). Next activity: Stroll the length of West Cliff

Dave Iermini, one of Logos’ veteran buyers, tells the story of a friend who was at a party in London, where he met Bruce Thomas, who played bass with Elvis Costello and the Attractions. “Where are you from?” Thomas asked, being polite. “Santa Cruz, California,” the friend answered. “Oh!” shouted Thomas, in his broad British accent. “Logos Books and Records!”

East of downtown lies Midtown (some refer to it as the Eastside), a neighbourhood that’s reaching critical mass along So-

quel Avenue: shops, restaurants, cafes, grocers. At night, indie bands pack the Crepe Place (1134 Soquel Ave.). The Rio Theatre (1205 Soquel Ave.) books an intriguing mix of events: Leo Kottke, Bela Fleck and Ursula K. Le Guin are among the coming attractions. The Buttery (702 Soquel

I’ll go with “soulful,” but simple? I had the pork confit, generously mounded in the centre of my plate, topped with a perfectly fried egg, served with a potato pancake and bordered by slivers of roasted golden beets, locally sourced, of course. It was delicious, it cost $8, and the cafe had a buzz; the patio was quickly filling up with couples and young families. Coltrane was playing on the sound system. “Soulful,” I thought to myself. “This is my new place.” MCT Information Services

it was years ago, it remains a fascinating place; it’s got life to it. And in the mornings, it still can be quiet and calming in a small-town way. Try the “Mike’s Mess” with home fries and cornbread at funky Zachary’s Restaurant, the most classic of the city’s breakfast spots (819 Pacific Ave). I’m also partial to the Bagelry (try the hummus or egg salad toppings, or the “Moxie”; 320 Cedar St.) and the tucked-away Hidden Peak Teahouse, where you can sip unusual blends and purchase cool vintage teapots; no cell phones allowed (1541-C Pacific Ave.). And don’t forget: you’ll never “get” Santa Cruz without spend7ing time in its downtown cafes, of which there must be more per capita than anywhere in California. These are some definitive ones: Caffe Pergolesi, aka “the Perg,” a bide-yourtime hippie place in an old Victorian (418 Cedar St.); Lulu’s at the Octagon (118 Cooper St.), where friendly baristas serve up specialty drinks in an eight-sided landmark building (next door to the Museum of Art and History, 705 Front St.); and trendy Verve Coffee Roasting, which owns the current scene; brewing a cup of coffee is theatre at Verve (1540 Pacific). There’s fine dining, too: With its deep wine list and delectable small plates, Soif Restaurant Wine Bar and Merchants (105 Walnut St.) is my favourite dining spot in Santa Cruz, though romantic little Gabriella Cafe (910 Cedar St.; and oh, the risotto with chanterelles!) isn’t far behind. For a handcrafted dessert, cross the street to Penny Ice Creamery (913 Cedar St.), where lines often are out the door. And, oh yes, there are blocks and blocks of shops: Artisans Gallery (1368 Pacific Ave.), O’Neill Surf Shop (110 Cooper St., at Pacif-

Ave.) has the best baked goods in Santa Cruz; kill me with the carrot cake, please. It’s worth braving the lines at Tacos Moreno (1053 Water St.) for the al pastor burrito and chile verde tacos. And you cannot beat the breakfast scrambles at Linda’s Seabreeze Cafe (542 Seabright Ave.), only a few blocks from one of the sweetest (and least touristy) beaches in the city, Seabright State Beach at the foot of Third Avenue. It’s also in Midtown that I’ve discovered a new breakfast and lunch place, Midtown Cafe (1121 Soquel Ave.), which opened in January. It’s sleek and airy, with community tables in the front room and a sunny back patio where I recently sat down with owner Zac Creager. At age 30, he already has had a couple of careers: as a trekking guide in Chile and as a manager of local farmers markets. He describes the food in his cafe as “soulful and simple.”

Kia taking on the small cars from the big guys

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA – Kia rounds out its attack on the country’s best-selling cars with the launch of the final two models to the Forte lineup. Last year Kia introduced their all-new Forte sedan to compete with such top sellers as the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra. This week, the 5-door hatchback version called Forte5 and the coupe, called Forte Koup begin arriving in dealerships. The launch of these two vehicles took us from Huntington Beach, California, through the mountains and desert to Borrego Springs and then back through the mountains to San Diego. The terrain varies from massive California highways to very twisty mountain passes and vast desert valleys. Stunning scenery and a recommended drive for any sightseer or driving enthusiast. Looks The Forte5 is the more practical of the two new Kias with a hatchback design that sets it apart from the competition. Many competitors don’t offer a hatch so this is sure to be noticed by people who need extra storage and passenger room. Sold with a new base 2.0L engine or an optional 1.6L turbo engine, there are varied looks depending on which trim is chosen. The non-turbo Forte5 gets a front grille similar to the sedan with a smaller lower intake and a larger grille opening. The Forte5 SX turbo gets the same grille as the Koup, with the opposite

transmission, that brings to the pavement 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. Of all the characteristics I like about this trim of Dart, I think its transmission is the weakest link. In previous reviews of other Dart models – like the 1.4L, Turbocharged version with 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque – the gear throws are, in my opinion,

too long to really give it that edge and sporty vibe that it needs to compete with vehicles like the VW GTI, Honda Civic Si or even the Ford Focus ST. The gear throws are long and the clutch has little weight to it, taking away the performance aspect of the GT that it should have. On the flip side, the light clutch works favourably in the urban environment. This setup makes being stuck in traffic bearable. Getting back to the gearbox, I really wanted to like the Dart more. I really did. So I concocted scenarios in my mind to figure out a way to not be so sad about its lack of panache. I think I found one. Buyers of the GT will like what they get for the value. After all, it has a starting MSRP of $21,995. That’s thousands less than the aforementioned competitors. And some buyers of vehi-

Furthermore, they enjoy added touches like a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, GT specific sport leather seats, a Parkview rear backup camera and more. The interior has a pleasant look to it and it’s very agreeable to drive. On the highway, special

attention from designers and engineers were paid to make sure you drive in a quiet cabin. Minimal road noise entered the GT’s cabin, allowing my passengers and I to enjoy the musical stylings of various bands being listened to on the Alpine premium stereo system with nine speakers (an additional $1,295 for this sun and sound package.) The sun portion of the package adds a power express open/close sunroof to the mix.

After I switched into this mindset, I found I was able to alleviate my frustrations of what the GT didn’t have, but what it did have. Additionally, a feature that I love about the Dart – and all other Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler products – is the Uconnect media interface. The GT comes standard with the 8.4-inch touchscreen and is a dream to work with. Large icons, easy prompts and a no-fuss approach to pairing your handheld device to the Bluetooth system all come standard. Whether taking the GT for a drive in the city or on the open road, it does have some solid legs to stand on.

The Dodge Dart has held its own in a sporty compact segment where competition is fierce. Perhaps it is because of its value, the various engine choices or that it has some pretty cool features (like available under-the-frontseat-cushion storage) and a fresh style – inside and out – the Dart seems to be a hit. Two years in, Chrysler has loaded it up with an engine full of gusto, unique styling cues and added a couple of letters on the back and now we have the Dodge Dart GT. What sets it apart from its siblings are a stretcheddown grille and LED headlights. You’ll find the rear clad with the ‘Racetrack’ LED lights that run the full length of the trunk. Then there’s a set of 18inch wheels come standard on this vehicle along with a 2.4L, MultiAir, 4-cylinder Tigershark engine, matched with a 6-speed manual

Marvelling at a new Mercedes in Marseille benefits. Inside the seating is typical Mercedes with easy to find power controls on the door panel. Generous in size, yet excellent support and a good range of adjustable elements didn’t give my weak back a reason to complain, even after many hours of driving. The restyled dash is an

place, as if an afterthought I-Pad was attached to the dash. Overall, this C-Class is sure to please both purists and newcomers. Superbly engineered, technically sophisticated and pleasure to drive. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca

Confessions of a Curber Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Marseille, France – The midsized C-Class is the most popular and affordable Mercedes-Benz sedan and about 8.5 million of them have been produced, since it was originally introduced in 1993. Mercedes engineering typically operates on a seven-year “circle of life” production run and an allnew generation of C-Class will arrive in Canada, as a 2015 model year vehicle, this summer. In brief, it’s a bigger and better C-Class, however, real progress is in the details. This C-Class is lighter, safer, comes with a choice of two more powerful (yet more fuel-efficient) new engines, uses even more advanced technologies, plus its body is more aerodynamic and, to my eyes, better looking. The South of France global launch location, even though I had to share it with over 800 other auto hacks, was another nice bonus - more later... There’s no pricing available at this time, but we do know the initial trim levels offered in Canada will be a C300 and a C400. A sporty AMG edition, called the C63, will also be added to the line in January 2015. Although not official, a diesel edition is also expected to be added in 2015. At this

elegant and less fussy design, thanks mainly to a new Touchpad controller that eliminates a multitude of switches. It can recognise both single and multi-finger gestures, wiping movements, zoom finger gestures, even user handwriting. That said, the stand-alone display screen looks out of

event Mercedes was also showing a Euro-destined hybrid-diesel edition. An optional (Airmatic) air suspension is offered for the first time in C-Class. It allows a driver to choose between Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Sport+ settings via an Agility Select switch on the console. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive system is, as before, the other major option. Also available is a Sport Package that includes AMG trim upgrades, wheels and front brake system. The C-class has classic rear-drive vehicle proportions with a long hood (with a choice of two front grilles) and a short rear deck. It looks like a smaller version of the top-line, and redesigned last year, S-class, especially the new LED headlights and taillights. Compared to the current C-Class it’s longer, lower and wider and is now close in size to a 90s E-Class. Its extended wheelbase also helps create more interior space, especially for rear seat passengers. The big change under-hood

is a four-cylinder turbocharged 2.0-litre, in the C300, that’s max rated at 235 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. While it produces more power than the outgoing base V6, I found the initial power surge, when you push on the gas pedal, overly aggressive. In fairness, the North American edition will come with different throttle mapping. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 in the C400, on the other hand, is a beauty. It can pump-out up to 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. More importantly, it does so in a quieter, smoother and effortless fashion that most drivers expect when at the wheel of a Mercedes. Both engines come with idle fuel saving start/stop systems and are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The list of standard and available high-tech active safety features is simply amazing. It includes almost everything that’s available in the top-line S-Class, which is touted as the world’s safest car. Intelligent Drive is an optional suite of technologies that includes autonomous braking with pedestrian recognition, a low-speed heavy traffic auto-pilot feature, active parking assist and a

360-degree camera setup with numerous views of immediate surroundings. Bordering on frivolous, there’s an Air-Balance in-car perfuming system ... to prolong that new-car Mercedes smell. Another one is a GPS-linked climate-control system tech feature that automatically switches it to “recirculation” mode when a C-Class is driven into a tunnel. The test drive actually did include a few tunnels and there are lots of them in and under Marseille. It’s the second largest city in France and its busiest port with numerous ferries to other Mediterranean destinations. Our drive route took us out of the city on a circular mostly rural route around the outskirts of Marseille and ended at the picturesque small harbor community of Cassis. A mountain drive along the Route des Cretes (Route of the Ridges) was spectacular. It’s a narrow, winding high-elevation road with pull-offs at numerous view locations. Even with the (100 kg) weight reduction, this C-Class is sublimely stable on the road. The switch to a full electronic assist rack and pinion steering system, called Direct Steer, is also flawless. There are fuel economy and active safety

Noodling on the web one morning I found out that I was selling vehicles illegally. If I was in the business of selling, I need to be licensed as a dealer. Oh well. Everything’s been working out just fine for me. I skated through those recent bad deals. My previous sales were a distant memory – I was eager to start selling more. So, I decided to up my game a bit. I got a low-end truck and a car from an auction and another car from a new parking lot friend. I put ads for all three vehicles on Craigslist. Of course my ads said they were all real gems. You’d think people might see through my ads. “Need to sell fast, so price is flexible. Call with best offer.” And my cell number was the same for all three. Would anybody notice? The first two cheaper vehicles sold quickly. The last one took a bit longer to sell. Of course, it was the one I was most eager to sell. Why, you ask? Well, not that I passed the information along, but the auction provided vehicle history reports for the first two. I had no information on the last. So, I bought ICBC and CarProof vehicle history reports. I wanted to educate myself. To my surprise, there was a statement in both reports that the vehicle was possibly “stolen*.” I knew I had to sell it fast. I mean, I’d paid for it and I knew my new “friend” wouldn’t take it back. Four days later, I got a call from a young

“Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice!” woman. She asked if the car would fit a family of four. “Definitely!” I practically screamed. I was a wreck during this sale. I just needed to get rid of this car – fast. I told the nice lady the details of the car. Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice! I told her I was in a hurry to visit my mum in the hospital. She was in a hurry too – her three-year-old was anxious, pulling at her pant legs. She seemed to not want to be there as much as me. Finally, she agreed to buy the car. Phew! I was saved. Whatever happens next, I don’t care. It’s her problem not mine. I quickly changed my phone number (again). Weeks later, I saw her on the news – with kid still at pant legs – talking to a reporter. Apparently, the car was towed away by the police. And yes, she was trying to find me. Had I covered my tracks? I agonized.

*How can a stolen vehicle be sold? Curbers often break the law by bridging a title. Instead of registering a vehicle in their name within 10 days after a purchase, as required, they leave it in the name of the previous owner. This keeps their name out of the chain of title and from being caught with a stolen vehicle or one that would not be able to be registered or insured for another reason.

The all-new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a luxury sport ute that attracts a lot of attention. The body styling went through some major changes this year and is very different to the previous version that had more chiseled and square edges. This vehicle is refined and more rounded. If it wasn’t for the traditional Jeep grille you would think this was a Volvo or an Audi. The first thing you notice is the new LED lighting that wraps around the HID headlamps, it gives it a very sophisticated and contemporary look. Jeep did not sacrifice its off road capabilities. Options are; Quadra-Trac 1 that features full time on demand four-wheel drive with single speed transfer case and equal torque split (50 front/50 rear) with brake control. Quadra-Trac 11, with a 2 speed transfer case with low range and variable torque distribution that delivers up to a 100 percent front or rear. Quadra-Lift air suspension that lifts four corners of the vehicle to provide the best in class ground clearance of 272 mm that will allow you to negotiate just about any terrain you encounter. The Summit model has a gorgeous interior, all the bells and whistles. Premium Nappa leather seats with heated/vented 12 way power front seats. The steering wheel is heated

Born in Winnipeg on May 24, 1923 - Passed away peacefully in KGH March 28, 2014. Ida was predeceased by her high school sweetheart Harold in 1993. After both Ida and Harold had served in WWII, Harold overseas and Ida in Ottawa they married April 22,1946. They settled in the Okanagan where they spent most of their working lives other than a few years in Vancouver. Ida and Harold spent many years working together at their business Plywood Specialties up until their retirement in 1977. Once retired they moved to Pender Island where they enjoyed the bounty of the surrounding waters and led a very active social life entertaining many new friends and visiting family. With health, age and the ferry ride becoming an issue they returned to Kelowna. Ida was always the happiest at family gatherings, enjoying the company of her family, some good food and a glass of wine. She taught us all what was important in life. Her laughter, her smile and love will sorrowfully be missed at any future gatherings. The family would like to thank Three Oaks Assisted Living Residence for the loving care they gave to Ida. We would also like to thank the nurses on 4E for their compassionate care of our loving Ida. At Idaâ€™s request there will be no service. In her memory donations can be made to the Kelowna General Hospital.

Replace lawn with veggie garden Gwen Steele • Choose a site in full sun (at least six hours, daily, during in the growing season) • Make sure there are no noxious weeds such as field bindweed (morning glory weed) • Stay well away from trees. Most have wide-reaching root systems that make a bee-line for good soil and extra moisture • Cut grass as short as possible • Soak ground and cover with an overlapping layer of wet cardboard (appliance boxes work well) Begin with a layer of chunky material such as dead perennial vegetation from your gardens, straw or used animal bedding. Add layers of green/ wet/nitrogen materials such as compost, manure, grass clippings, kitchen waste and soil, alternated with brown/dry/carbon materials such as shredded leaves, and straw. Soak each layer very well before adding the next. ‘Green’ layers can be two to four inches thick and ‘brown’ layers, double that. To increase nutrients

in the bed, supplements such as bone meal, wood ashes, and worm castings can be sprinkled over upper layers. Keep repeating alternating layers until the bed is about two feet high ending with a layer of soil or compost. Cover with black plastic and make slits for vegetable plants. By next spring it will have rotted to exceptional garden soil. Remove plastic, edge with boards and plant seeds or bedding plants. For more ideas of how to get rid of lawn and

what to replace it with, I invite you to attend my two-night ‘Introduction to the Seven Principles of Xeriscape’ class. The class dates are Monday, April 7 and 14, or Wednesday, April 16 and 23. Details and registration information are on the Classes page on www.okanaganxeriscape. org. Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

MARIO Lanthier designed his narrow raised vegetable boxes so he could sit on a movable plank seat to tend and harvest the productive gardens. Drip irrigation ensures efficient water use. A layer of mulch will be added to retain moisture and suppress weeds. GWEN STEELE/CONTRIBUTOR

GARDENING WITH NATURE

The perfect place to call home!

hen I was a child most people grew vegetables. For 60 years my parents had a quarter acre vegetable garden, near the Kelowna hospital. They hand cleared cottonwood trees and bush that grew on the abandoned tobacco field. Soil was amended with shavings from Crawford’s Mill (Crawford Estates) and manure from my uncle’s farm (at the end of a dirt track, now Cook Road). Gradually higher incomes and cheap food turned veggie gardening into a hobby rather than a necessity. People lost touch with how food grew. Much of it came from 1,500 miles away. The wonderful flavours of produce picked ripe vanished from our meals. Now, an exciting new trend has begun. People want to know what is in their food and to eat fresh, locally-grown produce. Once again land is being cleared for food gardens but the clearing is so much easier than in my parent’s day. It generally consists of simply getting rid of some lawn. I used a cheap and fast method found in Patricia Lanza’s book, ‘Lasagne Gardening,’ to make and plant a raised bed on top of lawn in one day. Here are the main points:

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Options varied for mortgage insurance gage becomes available for renewal and another lender is offering you a better rate. You can switch the mortgage and not have to requalify for your life insurance. This reduces the risk of facing higher premiums because as we age, the premiums increase with new policies. Worse yet, you may find out at the time that you are uninsurable. Mortgage life insurance with an independent will be for the full amount of the mortgage and not based on your declining mortgage balance. You do have the option of reducing your premiums when the mortgage balance decreases, but when you are tied to a lender the insurance coverage is for the mortgage balance only and the premiums will remain the same regardless of the balance. If something were to happen to both you and your spouse, with an independent broker the insurance would pay double, not just your mortgage balance as is the case when insuring with the lender.

Spray paint tips for flawless results With the warmer weather now reaching the Okanagan, now is the ideal time to bring new life to home décor. Whether your outdoor items are looking worn and weathered or your indoor spaces need a pop of colour, spray paint is the perfect solution. To ensure your furniture update goes flawlessly, follow these few tips from the experts at Krylon, the nation’s leader in spray paint.

pecially those exposed to outdoor elements, it is important to choose a product that provides rust protection. “Many products that claim rust protection only work when used with an additional primer,” said Patterson. “Using a combination product, such as Dual Superbond Paint + Primer, ensures that all surfaces will achieve superior rust protection without a multi-step process.”

PREP PROPERLY

SPRAYING SPECIFICS

Surface preparation is extremely important and the best predictor of how long your finish will last. The goal is to make your surface as smooth as possible to ensure the new paint adheres well. Remove any loose rust or paint by lightly sanding. Next, clean surfaces with soap and water or degreaser, if necessary. Rinse and let your surface dry completely. Your surface should now be clean, dull and dry.

It also seals the surface to help smoothen out blemishes, increase spray paint adhesion and improve corrosion resistance. While priming is a critical step, research shows that consumers only use a primer 50 per cent of the time. For high-quality results with fewer steps, look for a product that says no priming is re-

quired.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT

It’s important to choose the product that meets the needs for your substrate—as well as your style.

PLASTIC/LAMINATES

With the popularity of ready-to-assemble furniture made of laminates or the many plastic storage items, these surfaces are prime targets for painting. However, without the

right product, your project could turn out less than desirable. “Most consumers don’t realize that not all plastics are the same,” said Denise Patterson, Krylon product manager. “In fact, most spray paints on the market will not adhere to the most popular plastics found in furniture, toys and storage.”

METAL

For metal surfaces, es-

Before you spray, shake your can for about two minutes. Next, hold the can six to eight inches away from the surface and use several thin coats of spray paint instead of one thick coat. Begin and finish your spray pattern off the object using an even side-toside motion, releasing the tip at the end of each pass. Try to overlap your spray pattern by about one-third with each pass. As you prepare to paint new life into your home décor, these few tips and tricks will ensure your project is painless and pretty for years to come.

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Expense of mortgage insurance shouldn’t be ignored There are many reasons to seek out the options regarding the importance of purchasing life and disability insurance for your mortgage. Many homeowners are reluctant to purchasing life and disability insurance—they don’t want to add the cost of insurance to their mortgage payments. But one of the biggest mistakes you can make is to sign a

mortgage agreement and decline the insurance coverage thinking you will research it on your own. It’s not surprising that homeowners balk at mortgage insurance as most of us feel we are already stretching our monthly payments to the maximum. But think of it instead as something you can’t afford to be without. Your family could be left

holding a debt on what tends to be a person’s largest individual debt obligation. It is especially important for first-time or young buyers to get coverage because the mortgage balance is usually high and the premiums in most cases tend to be much lower because of their age. The ideal time to look at your options is when you sign a mort-

gage agreement. While all lenders offer mortgage life insurance, independent brokers tend to have more options. And this affords you the opportunity of switching lenders later on. As an example, five years down the road your mort-
