Fire claims a life at mobile home park

Women’s forum participants to share their ideas

Kathy Michaels

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

Residents of Westpoint Mobile Home Park are reeling following a fatal Wednesday morning fire. “We’ve lost a neighbour,” said Carol Curtis, who lives a few doors down from what’s now a charred husk of a home situated in a river of foamy, white fire retardant. “He was a good dog owner, and walked his dogs faithfully.” The man, who is believed to have been in his mid50s, lived in the area for six years, but neighbours said he largely kept to himself. His body was found in the residence early Wednesday morning, near his dog. West Kelowna fire chief Wayne Schnitzler said the home was fully engulfed when crews arrived. The damage was mostly to the middle of the mobile home and it appears flames moved toward the back of the property. Of high concern upon arrival, was containing the spread of flames, as homes in the park are quite close together. Schnitzler said that by using a lot of foam retardant, the department was able to ensure that the flames were isolated to the one trailer. He couldn’t offer any insights into what may have caused the blaze as the investigation had yet to begin. Jim Christiansen lives next door to the home that burnt down, and was just a stone’s throw away from the flames that were licking the perimeter of his neighbour’s roof early Wednesday. “I heard a bang and the window blew out,” he said. “At first we thought it was a car accident because you get them here all the time.” When he went outside, however, it was immediately clear they were facing something quite different. “The air was so black, and you could see flames coming out of the roof.” He called 911 and said firetrucks responded in 15 to 20 minutes. The investigation into the fire is ongoing.

Housing will be the core topic in the upcoming Central Okanagan Women’s Forum, a space reserved for sharing ideas and creating action, organizers say. Three UBC Okanagan master’s degree students have been tapped to present on their research into women, housing and marginalized groups in the Central Okanagan. “What we’re looking to do is have more dialogue with women, like these forums, just to bring us all together and look at issues,” said Micki Smith, with the Central Okanagan Women’s Resource and Education Foundation. The students all worked under Carlos Teixeira, an associate professor in geography at UBCO. Looking at seniors and housing, women and housing, and Latin immigrant women and single mothers and housing, the talks will be used to generate discussion on some of the broader shelter-related concerns the valley faces. “There’s all this really good work done at UBC

and then it doesn’t get shared,” said Smith. “So we thought this would be great to get the information out.” Housing has been a hot political topic for many years owing to the historically high cost of rent, low wages and lack of options for those living at the lower end of the income bar in B.C. While the 2007-08 economic crash brought temporary relief in the Okanagan, the rental availability rate is once again falling, making it difficult for those with a low economic status to secure an affordable home. According to Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation projections released in the fall, the vacancy rate is expected to fall to three per cent this year—still above the 10-year average rate for the area, but a full percentage point below the year before. Focusing on how housing, or community building in general, affects women and children benefits everyone in society, Smith noted, as women tend to spearhead family development, raising the next generation.

NEWS ▼ CONVENTION

BCWF members gather to talk about wildlife and environment Man in Motion Rick Hansen will be the keynote speaker at the B.C. Wildlife Federation’s 58th annual general meeting and convention that got underway Wednesday and continues Saturday at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort. BCWF is British Columbia’s largest and oldest conservation organization with more than 43,000 members from fish and game clubs passionately committed to protecting, enhancing and promoting the wise use of the environment for the benefit of present and future generations. Attendees at the event will include more than 300 delegates, guests and speakers including leading fish and wildlife experts, provincial and federal politicians, fish and wildlife agencies and conservation organizations. The convention will be opened today by Lt. Gov. Judith Guichon, with

Chief Robert Louie of the Westbank First Nation and Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray. BCWF president Bill Bosch, a Lake Country resident, will address delegates and welcome Hansen who, in addition to being a celebrated athlete, leader and dedicated social innovator, is an avid outdoorsman who is passionate about salmon and sturgeon conservation. The theme of this year’s event, being co-hosted by BCWF’s Okanagan region, is Your BCWF: Fuelled by Passion, Driven by Members. This theme was chosen because the BCWF is a volunteer organization . In keeping with this theme, the event will feature a number of interactive workshops including sessions on skinning, goose and duck calling, backpacking, fly fishing, horse packing and videotaping hunts. Among the other guest

speakers will be: • Garry Breitkreuz, MP for Yorkton-Melville in Saskatchewan, talking about Canada’s gun control laws (Thursday) • Steve Thomson, local MLA and provincial minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations (Friday) • Brian Symonds, director of the water stewardship branch speaking about B.C.’s new Water Sustainability Act (Friday) • Biologist Howie Wright and Grand Chief Stewart Phillip with the Okanagan Native Alliance (Saturday) • Manitoba MP Robert Sopuck, chair of the Conservative Hunting & Angling caucus on reaching out to Canada’s conservationists (Saturday). One of the highlights of this year’s convention promises to be the annual BCWF conservation fundraiser. This fundraiser is open to the public and features

a buffet dinner, live and silent auctions and raffles. Prizes and auction items include a fly fishing trip for two to Duncanby Lodge at Rivers Inlet; a registration in Gunwerks Shooting School courtesy of Grouse River Outfitters; a number of guided steelhead, sturgeon and salmon fishing trips at location across B.C.; rifles, fishing rods and outdoor gear; and a selection of wildlife art including BCWF Artist of the Year prints, sculptures and bird mounts. The fundraiser takes place at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort on Saturday (doors open at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 6:30 p.m.). Tickets are $50 per person (BCWF members receive a $10 discount), available in Kelowna at Grouse River Outfitters on Enterprise Way. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.bcwf.bc.ca, call 1-888-881-2293.

Driver jailed for violating bail conditions The man allegedly behind the wheel of a car that struck a newspaper carrier last December was sentenced to two months in jail April 4 for his most recent brush with the law. In December Fahl had been incarcerated for charges of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, impaired driving, flight causing bodily harm and failure to stop at an accident, relating to an incident where

Capital News delivery man Steve Kania was severely injured. Fahl was released on bail the following month, but had to adhere to strict conditions, such as not driving, not leaving the house without his bail order or not staying out past curfew. Apparently, those conditions were too stringent as Fahl breached them Feb. 11, leading to an additional charge of obstructing justice and

three counts of breaching his bail. Fahl, told the courts he was off to see a bail supervisor that day, but he was late because he missed the bus. Crown counsel dealing with the case pointed out that they’d spoken with the bail supervisor and there was no reason for Fahl to meet them. Fahl is in court later this month for the driving-related charges from December.

ENGINEERING FEAR…UBC Okanagan first-year engineering

students (from left) Cole Frederiksen, Logan Wilson, Sabrina Moore and Jessica Van Brummelen show off their scary, shaking, screaming box, a prop they designed and built for the Vernon Science Centre’s annual Halloween fundraiser. The box is rigged to violently shake, emit a blood-curdling scream and ooze red light from inside when a person walks by. The box was part of a display, along with props designed by other engineering student teams Wednesday at the university’s Kelowna campus. Along with the Halloween props, the display also featured other engineering project prototypes that dealt with off-the-grid outdoor bus stop heaters and mechanisms designed to help safely transfer a person from a wheelchair into a kayak. The projects were designed and built by the student teams as part of their first year studies. The Halloween props had to have an engineering basis and educational content, as well as a “scare factor.”

Fatal car surfing accident results in probation, fine for driver Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The man who was behind the wheel in a fatal Kelowna car surfing incident has finally been sentenced. Christopher Gerald Bezaire of Estevan, Sask., pleaded

guilty last October to a charge of criminal negligence causing death. Court records show that on March 28 he was sentenced to three years of probation and told to play a $5,000 fine. The penalty relates back to a fatal decision Bezaire made in June of 2011.

He had travelled to Kelowna for longtime friend Jody Rud’s birthday and, along with some other friends, they went camping. At some point, the decision was made for Rud to get on the roof of his Pontiac Sunfire, which was driven by Bezaire,

for some car surfing, said Const. Steve Holmes in the days following the event. Shortly after 1 a.m., June 11, Bezaire lost control and the car rolled down an embankment 10 kilometres up Bear Main Forest Service Road. Rud, who had made a name

for himself during his years at UBC Okanagan for doing everything from organizing Remembrance Day ceremonies to working on homelessness initiatives, was thrown from the roof of the car and died at the scene. At the time, police said al-

cohol and drugs were not a factor in the crash. In honour of Rud’s memory, a scholarship was established to provide financial support to social work students at the UBC Okanagan School of Social Work. kmichaels@kelowncapnews.com

Brandt’s Creek Crossing 205-1970 Kane Road, Kelowna 778-478-1078 www.sunnynails.ca

Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians will notice some important changes to the intersection of Gordon Drive and Springfield Road this summer. The most noticeable change will be the installation of flexible plastic poles delineating the Springfield Road bike lane from the vehicle lane at the westbound approach to Gordon Drive. “Based on requests from Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition, we conducted design and safety reviews and identified some specific improvements we’ll implement by the end of summer,” said Moudud Hasan, City of Ke-

lowna transportation and mobility manager. Drivers traveling west on Springfield tend to cut into the cycle lane if they’re turning right on to Gordon. This manoeuvre is illegal and hazardous for cyclists using the bicycle lane and for drivers who make the appropriate right turn from the vehicle lane. This corner has a high volume of right turning vehicles without an exclusive right turn lane. The unusually wide bike lane invites drivers to use it when turning north onto Gordon. These factors required this unique solution—something beyond green

bike lanes. Cyclists turning south onto Gordon from Springfield westbound will need to make the transition to a left turn position before they reach the delineation poles, or dismount and use the crosswalk at the intersection. Another safety measure will see a raised median installed on Gordon at the south side of the intersection. This will improve school zone pedestrian safety by adding a landing area for this wide stretch of road in front of A.S. Matheson Elementary. Even with these safety measures in place cyclists, pedestrians

Preparations begin for eventual Okanagan Lake second crossing Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The creation of a second bridge across Okanagan Lake may be decades away, but the province has taken a step toward that goal. Staff with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure confirmed the province will spend $2 million over the next three years as part of a planning process for a potential second crossing of

Okanagan Lake near Kelowna. “We are updating previous engineering work and will be initiating a transportation planning study of the Central Okanagan to understand and explore the transportation needs of the region,” stated an e-mail from the ministry. “Extensive community consultation is also planned to ensure we have a clear understanding of the needs, and options

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

to meet them, to support such a large investment in the Okanagan.” The ministry added it is at the beginning of a long process as it explores what the project could look like. Last July Premier Christy Clark received cheers when she announced it is time to start planning a second Okanagan Lake crossing during a Westside-Kelowna byelection candidates debate.

Clark told the Capital News last December that Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone had already begun engagement with local mayors regarding the second crossing. “It is very early stages. I don’t expect that it will be done by the next election, but hopefully we’ll have some significant progress in the planning by then,” Clark said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater said the

$2 million for planning is good news, but he said he wants considerations to extend further than just a second bridge. He spoke specifically about possible Highway 97 rerouting to bypass Peachland. “We think this has to be re-oriented a little bit, in order to look at a corridor plan related to the second crossing and a Peachland bypass. And where does it go: In or around West Kelowna?

Evelyn Lube, spokesperson for the project, said the Sneena Road overpass is necessary to fulfil a commitment between Westbank First Nation and the province for key accesses from the bridge to the Highway 97 and Boucherie Road intersection. But Findlater said “interchanges may very well be in the cards” for the Highway 97/Boucherie Road and Highway 97/Hudson Road intersections as well. He noted the District of West Kelowna has received an invitation from MOTI to talk regarding future plans for those intersections. “We have to look at the implications of that for our community…do we want to be a community of interchanges?” said Findlater. “At least we’ve been invited to the table.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.

Because it has a lot of implications for this community,” said Findlater. “I’ve never…bought into the idea that it’s going to happen next year. This is long-term planning, but we do have to start thinking about the corridor.” When asked whether or not the $2 million for planning is related to the Peachland bypass, MOTI staff wrote: “The planning study will include a significant technical investigation as it examines potential route corridors and engages the public in consultations on the future transportation needs of the Central Okanagan.” West Kelowna’s mayor also commented on the increasing number of overpasses being built west of William R. Bennett Bridge. Construction is currently underway on the Sneena Road overpass, the third interchange or overpass to be built in a two kilometre stretch over

Addressing specific needs of women Ideas from A1 But the forum will also address women’s specific needs, such as access to power and leadership roles. Gender representation in politics has been a hot topic in Canadian politics of late with the role gender has played in unravelling of several women’s political careers dominating headlines and pundits’ discussions. Ensuring women have access to roles in local government, generally seen as the entry point to politics, has been on the Canadian Federation of Municipalities agenda for several years. The national organization has set a goal of reaching 30 per cent representation—a target the United Nations has set as the minimal percentage of women required for government to reflect women’s concerns. The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific identified three changes that occur in local communities once women gain leadership roles: • there is a greater emphasis on social issues

• leadership becomes more inclusive, collaborative and consultative; and more tolerant of different points of view • gender equality becomes a more tangible concept, improving the lives of women. At a national level, women currently represent just 26 per cent of councillors and 16 per cent of mayors, for an average of 24 per cent participation. Aside from the conference, the Central Okanagan Women’s Resource and Education Foundation is working to develop a statistical profile of women within the Central Okanagan and an update on the project will be provided. Local sociologist Tina Marten is heading the research, which follows a similar community profile drawn up by the Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre in 1988. The forum will be held Thursday, May 8, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the Kelowna public library, 1380 Ellis St. The event is free.

Egg addling keeps geese in check

In the continued effort to control the Canada goose population in the Okanagan, the Okanagan Valley Goose Managel ment program is initiating n its annual egg addling n program. y Now in its eighth year, this program has pred vented the exponential increase of the non-migratory resident goose popud lation that inhabits the y valley year round. r Most communities in the valley struggle with management of these non-migratory Canada Geese. They are largely the descendants of non-nam

tive species of geese that were brought here from different areas of Canada in the 1960s and ’70s to encourage the creation of an Okanagan goose population. What was not foreseen was their ability to adapt to and thrive in the mild Okanagan climate and their inability to migrate because they had no natural parents to teach them how. As a result, the number of geese has grown with few natural controls, creating a need to manage this population. The Okanagan Valley Goose Management

program works to control the reproductive output of Canada geese, particularly in public spaces. Trained contractors identify mating pairs and nesting sites and will complete the addling program by the end of May. Key to the success of the program is finding the new nests. The public is asked to assist by reporting lone geese, pairs of geese, or nest locations on private or public land by emailing coordinator@okanagangooseplan.com or calling 1-877-943-3209. The public is also asked to keep away from

goose nests and to avoid touching the eggs. The local goose management program is a partnership between the City of Kelowna, Central Okanagan Regional District, Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen, District of West Kelowna, City of Vernon, City of Penticton, Town of Lake Country, Town of Osoyoos, Town of Oliver, District of Peachland, District of Summerland and Glenmore Ellison Irrigation District. Information about the program is available online at okanagangooseplan.com.

It is not clear, however, if Fast said out loud, or silently mouthed, the word “boom.” Cannan recently hosted Fast in Kelowna to talk about the last government trade mission to Asia. As for Wednesday’s incident in Ottawa, while Fast, Harris and Ashton were all quick to talk about it, Cannan was not. Initial attempts by reporters in Ottawa to talk to Cannan about the altercation were not responded to by Cannan’s Ottawa office.

Harris said. He described the altercation with Cannan, saying “(Cannan) was coming down the row, yelling at me and he had to be physically restrained from coming at me….He was challenging me to come outside. That kind of behaviour has no place in Parliament.” The altercation followed what NDP MPs say was a gun gesture International Trade Minister Ed Fast appeared to make with his thumb and forefinger towards NDP MP Niki Ashton after she asked a question during Question Period. Some NDP MPs say Fast accompanied the gesture by saying “boom.” Harris particularly took offence to Fast’s ges-

New university study begins to shed light on autism A utism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition surrounded by a lot of misinformation, rumours and fear. Characterized by social and communication difficulties and often including compulsive repetitive behaviours, autism can make daily functioning extremely difficult.

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer The condition is now understood to include a wide spectrum with symptoms ranging from quite mild to debilitating.

Much of the fear surrounding autism is based on its apparent increase in prevalence lately and our lack of understanding about what causes the disorder. Recent data indicates that autism affects roughly one in every 68 children, which is an increase of 30 per cent from estimates of one in 88 children just two years ago. Because it often be-

Artists dig into the character of Rutland Imagine John Rutland, founder of the Kelowna neighbourhood bearing his name, in a Monty-Pythonesque soliloquy about his escapades. How about a dating guide that highlights all the local places to take a great date or ditch a bad one? Maybe a CD of music celebrating Rutland is more your taste. Then again, what about a graphic novel about scary hauntings in Rutland? How about a lifestyle magazine featuring fabulous homes and styles of Rutland residents? Emerging artists from UBC Okanagan are engaging Rutland in an innovative endeavour called Dig Your Neigbourhood Rutland. The UBCO initiative is driven by a creative bunch of students from the faculty of creative and critical studies, with the ultimate goal of the project being to generate discussion around the cultural, historical and ecological issues of a specific geographic and cultural space—in this case the Rutland, Kelowna’s largest residential area. According to the university, creative writing and visual arts students have created a limited-edition package of artworks that will be distributed to new residents of Rutland by Welcome Wagon Ltd., and the public is invited to the launch of the art initiative on April 12, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Hillcrest Farm Market, 700 Highway 33 East, Kelowna. There will be refreshments, entertainment and a number of artworks for sale. The university says its students are excited about the neighbourhood dialogue and how their Dig Your Neighbourhood work will shape what Rut-

land newcomers need to know about their new home area. Jessica Bonney co-authored a book of poetry about Rutland with Sarah Megan Hunter, called Daylighting. “There’s a really fabulous sense of community in Rutland,” said Bonney. “I really love coming here.” “It was really cool to see it all come together,” said Nik Vreugdenhil, who worked on maps for a walking guide. “I learned so much, not just about the community, but in collaborating with artists and using industry-standard programs and software.” Jessica Klassen did design work on three individual pieces, Daylighting, the walking guide and a teen survival guidebook. “Just getting to know

the character of Rutland turned out to be a fascinating experience,” she said. Nancy Holmes, associate professor of creative writing, said Dig Your Neighbourhood is an innovative project unlike anything done anywhere else. Students, she said, learned how to write to a specific audience and how to develop a project from concept to finished product. “Writers get to work with visual artists and they get a sense of their own role, the contribution they make, as well as collaborating with each other and engaging with the community,” said Holmes. Rutland, an area within the city that is seeking to re-energize itself, is home to a varied population, including many

low-income families and recent immigrants. The project’s leaders say misconceptions about Rutland are nothing new. “Local residents and community groups are excited about our involvement because we will be able to assist them with some of their own projects, and with helping the neighbourhood overcome negative stereotypes,” said Holmes.

The Dig Your Neighbourhood project is a partnership of UBC, Welcome Wagon, artsVEST BC, the Eco Art Incubator, Lake Publishing and the Uptown Rutland Business Association.

▼ OUR VIEW

Tired of separatist propaganda

generational shift had a great deal to do with the relegation of the Parti Quebecois to the opposition benches in Monday’s Quebec election. The PQ mused about separatism (including passports and borders) and campaigned openly on a Charter of Quebec Values that was one of the most discriminatory documents in recent Canadian history. This captured a lot of attention nationally, and caused a large majority of younger voters to flee.

Enough went to the Liberals for the party to form the next majority government with 41.5 per cent of the vote and 70 legislative seats. Premier Pauline Marois borrowed a page from Adrian Dix’s unsuccessful campaign in B.C. a year ago. She went off script part way through the campaign, bringing up separatism and a referendum after her star candidate Pierre-Karl Peladeau raised his fist in the air and proclaimed the need for independence. It was her “Kinder Morgan” moment,

damage she could not repair. Her lack of focus on jobs and the economy was also a crucial error. Quebec has one of the weakest economies in the country, the highest debt and a poor job creation record. Any talk of separatism causes investors to give it the cold shoulder. Marois seemed unperturbed by all this. The charter captured the most attention outside Quebec. While it was supported by a significant number of Quebeckers, it was anathema to many younger, urban residents. They are as

comfortable with multiculturalism as younger people in other urban parts of Canada. Montreal is a very cosmopolitan city, and the charter, with Marois’ pledges to fire doctors, nurses, daycare workers and teachers who wear religious symbols, angered many. New Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard has promised to tackle some of the province’s economic issues, recognizing that is a greater priority then the fading dream of Quebec sovereignty.

ave you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet? By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back. About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care. The motor vehicle office started issuing them about a year ago, as fiveyear licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more

than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to. Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligibility is confirmed and any previous conditions or medications are accurately matched. (Note that medical informa-

tion is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.) Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book medical Tom appointments and even Fletcher renew prescriptions, which is where the efficiency comes in. In-person visits for routine prescription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but often little or no health benefit. Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If

you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start providing online access to a wide range of government services. Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfortable using a system they already trust for their banking. By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application forms converted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registra-

tion and even criminal record checks. All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you. “You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms.

Witnesses Needed

We’re governed by ‘bunches of self-serving, grasping individuals’ To the editor: Postage stamps which I bought a couple of weeks ago were not marked with P (Permanent), but rather with the price: 63 cents. The reason for the change was not apparent at the time. On April 2, needing to send a birthday card to a grandchild, I was informed that my 63 cents was insufficient postage; 37 cents were needed to take it to the full price of $1, since it was just one stamp. It would have been cheaper if I had required a whole book. I realized right there why the “P” stamps had

been discontinued—Canada Post, by expecting me to pay the difference between 63 cents and $1, wanted as much of their full “pound of flesh” as they could get, regardless of how ruthlessly they managed it. In a way, I was not surprised, since this was just one more aspect of the syndrome which is affecting our country Canada Post is joining its masters at the provincial and federal levels who, whilst trumpeting supposed tax-breaks and extra money for all, are, in fact, devising a multitude of ways to separate

us from our hard-earned cash. It seems that, if there is money to grab, they will grab it. Lately, newspaper editorials are loaded with examples of what’s going on—unannounced decreases in our provincial personal tax allowance; increases in EI premiums; CPP, MSP and ICBC rates; municipal tax hikes; BC Ferry ticket price raises and meanspirited policy changes affecting seniors; postal rate hikes (as mentioned); and accelerated Hydro costs. These are all from just one example editorial: (Leaving Seniors Behind, April

3 Capital News). But there are many such examples in editorials and articles throughout the country. Newspaper editors and reporters are evidently just as fed up as I am, at the relentless siphoning of money from the pockets of hard-working citizens into the coffers of governments which, all the while, is suggesting that, under their guidance we all have more and more money at our disposal.

But let there be no doubt that, in almost every respect, for the past dozen or so years, we have been governed by bunches of self-serving, grasping individuals, who have never had the well-being of the majority of this country’s population at heart.

I also refer to an article written in favour of the move by your own reporter Kathy Michaels published just below this letter. (City has made strides…) I thought journalists were suppose to be non-partisan?

There are obviously some factions who are behind this move and appear to be using the media to change the publics’ perception, despite the fact that this vote by the vendors was fair and democratic. Ms. Michaels starts her article benignly in favour of “pedestrians” and then ends with promoting the plan of “A Kelowna developer (who) has bought the three-hectare site…” near Cle-

ments Ave. Most people would drive to this location anyway, despite her prediction about it being so walkable. There was a plan for the permanent market being situated on the corner of Benvoulin and Springfield. This plan was discussed a few years ago by Kelowna city council. It would solve a number of issues, walkability, amenities and plenty of space for permanent structures and parking. I would think

tice by saying good-bye to my husband last year. He spent four years in a dementia lock-up facility. When the nurses informed me he was nearing his terminal stage when he could no longer eat, speak or keep his eyes open, I decided then it was time to see if he could hear me even though he appeared to be totally unaware. I held his hand and spoke to him and then

asked him to squeeze my hand if he could hear me and after several seconds I felt his one finger move. I was delighted and asked him to do it again. The dementia mind works very slowly. I was then able to tell him I loved him and not to be afraid, that he would see his brother and parents again. The look on his face became a little tranquil.

IRRIGATION START UP There are many important elements to maintaining a lawn, water is one of them. An automatic sprinkler system is the best way to deliver the water it needs. Recharging your irrigation system typically starts in April and is dependent on whether or not the frost is still in the ground. When you can get a shovel in down a full 12 inches, then you are usually good to go. Irrigation systems vary, but they are installed with the same basic principles. Following are some simple tips for starting up your system for the first time in the spring. One important thing to remember is your system was blown out in the fall with air – if you do not open the valves – air compresses – water does not. You may break something in your system if you do not open the valves before recharging your system. • check all valve boxes for rodent nests and debris • re-attach any fittings removed in the fall (be sure to use teflon tape if necessary). Ensure all valves and or drains are open and water source is connected slowly open the water source valve and begin filling up the system when water starts coming out of the drain close the drain valve. • close the other valves as the air is cleared out of the system and water starts to come out of the heads and sprinklers. Once the system is pressurized, run through the stations one by one, letting each station operated for two to four minutes. • inspect to ensure the sprinklers are spraying properly, for leaks and any other problems. • set current time and check schedule on controller unit. If you have any questions or would prefer the name of a contractor to perform the start up for you, call us or come in to see us.

density planting we see more and more in local orchards? This is limited to apples mainly, however, I see pear blocks going in that mirror some of the apple plantings and also a few cherries planted neck and neck. The specialized pruning techniques and cultural practices necessary to keep these healthy and productive are not conducive to the success of the average homeowner. Besides, most of this specialized super dwarf root stock is not available to the retail market. Many years ago, I approached a fruit tree nursery in Oliver and asked if

there was such a thing as a dwarf peach tree. His answer at the time was no, but he said if a person did some summer pruning it would have a controlling effect on the tree. Today, there are true genetic dwarf peach trees available. But as far as I know, the fruit produced by these is less than stellar. I suggest if you want nice peaches you should stick with the regular tree stock available. You can do something that will increase your ability to have more than one variety of peaches while only having one tree in the garden and that is to graft several varieties

into one tree. I have a Glow-haven peach on which I have grafted three other peach varieties and a nectarine. This way, I have peaches coming on all summer long with early mid-season and late varieties as well as the nectarine. You can do this with other fruit trees as well as long as you stay within the species—apples on apples, pears on pears, etc. Another method of keeping fruit trees under control is to espalier them along a wall or fence. This takes some effort and a little knowledge but it is not difficult. I came

across a good Canadian website that gives some simple instructions— www.canadiangardening.com/how-to/techniques/how-to-espalier-atree/a/1345” http://www. canadiangardening.com/ how-to/techniques/howto-espalier-a-tree/a/1345 ••• Last Saturday, Brian Sprout and I organized a get together at the old outdoor aquatic centre site in City Park and to our delight the response was fantastic.

The children’s race begins at 11 a.m. with participants dropping ducks off Trepanier Creek Bridge at Beach Avenue and Todd Road. Kids are invited to cheer on their rubber ducks. Prizes, games, crafts and face painting— sponsored by Peachland Ambassadors—will also be offered at Trepanier Creek Park. The adult race begins at 11:15 a.m. There will be five heats with 100 rubber ducks dropped at the pedestrian bridge by the Highway 97 underpass. Adult races will take place every 15 minutes. Winners from each of the heats will be collected for the final race at 12:30 p.m. The top prize

is a one-night stay for two at Willow Beach Bed and Breakfast, valued at $145.

SHANNON LAKE EASTER FOOD DRIVE

A local realtor is calling out to the Shannon Lake community to help him stuff a trailer with much-needed products for the Westside Community Food Bank. Les York will be going door to door with volunteers from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 12 gathering non-perishable food items. According to Lenetta Parry, executive director of the Westside Community Food Bank, some of the stock that was gathered during the winter months is beginning to run out. “We have a lot of holes in our inventory,” said Parry. “Donations give us a chance to replenish our shelves and stock up for the spring and summer months.” Shannon Lake residents can expect a door hanger from York and his team this week, then on Saturday they will go door-to-door collecting the food. All donations earn residents a $5 burger to enjoy that day, courtesy of Neighbour’s Pub. The food bank’s most needed items are: Canned

meats, healthy cereals, meals in a can, canned vegetables, canned fruits, pasta, rice, pasta sauce and baby basics such as diapers, wipes and formula. York will also be at Kinsmen Park from 1 to 3 p.m., for those who want to drop off their donations. Donations can also be dropped off at Westside Community Food Bank itself, or the Real Canadian Superstore, as part of its Extra Helping food drive taking place until April 24. Financial donations can be mailed to 2545 Churchill Rd., West Kelowna BC, V4T 2B4, or made securely online at westsidefoodbank.ca.

Swaddle infant’s bottom with cloth diaper to help environment As cloth diapers have come a long way in the past decade, the annual Great Cloth Diaper Change event seeks to continue to raise awareness of cloth diapering. Again this year in Kelowna, Tidy Tushees Diaper Service and MINT Baby Boutique have joined forces with the nonprofit Real Diaper Asso-

ciation to participate in the 4th annual Great Cloth Diaper Change on Saturday, April 26, 11 a.m. To date there are more than 300 event locations around the world— more than 40 in Canada and sites in 16 other countries including Chile, Australia and Switzerland. The combined sites are already

on their way to attempt to break last year’s Guinness World Record of 8,301 cloth diapers changed simultaneously at 182 locations in 15 countries. Each Great Diaper Change site has to register a minimum of 25 participants in order to count towards breaking the current world record.

Last year in Kelowna, more than 40 babies were changed at the event on the day at the same time. Each year, billions of disposable diapers enter landfills where it will take hundreds of years for them to decompose. The Great Cloth Diaper Change is an eye-opening experience for thousands of modern parents who

choose to use a more planet-friendly alternative or those who deserve to know about their eco-friendly diapering options. It doesn’t hurt that cloth diapering also can save cashstrapped families a substantial amount of money. For more info, call 250-870-4106 or email info@tidytushees.ca.

Losing bone density? Suffering from osteoporosis?

AMAZING NEW ONE-PER-DAY SUPPLEMENT PROVEN TO INCREASE BONE MINERAL DENSITY! My bones. Strong

again.

Are you worried about osteoporosis?

Over two million Canadian women suffer from osteoporosis - the loss of bone mineral density and increased risk of fracture. Women in menopause can lose over 2% of bone density in a single year. Forty percent of women over 50 will suffer from a bone fracture and 25% of those who have a hip fracture will survive less than one year.

Current solutions = limited success

Calcium is necessary for bone growth, but supplementation has had limited success in actually rebuilding bones. North Americans are taking a lot of calcium, but still have high rates of osteoporosis due to poor absorption. Pharmaceuticals designed to treat osteoporosis can be effective, but the side-effects can be undesirable or even dangerous.

Campus art Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

If you feel like someone is watching you while crossing the UBC Okanagan campus this spring, you can be forgiven. Students working with professor Samuel RoyBois have designed an unusual set of sculptures for the campus, one of which is a stack of eyes peering out into the main courtyard of the school. It’s all part of the Spring Festival of Culture and Entertainment, a cornucopia of artistry featuring visual work, digital discourse, literature and performance. Roy-Bois was honoured with a Mayor’s Arts Award from the City of Vancouver in 2012 as an emerging artist to watch and taught at the Emily Car Institute of Art and Design before securing an assistant professor position in the Okanagan. His work focuses on ways “architecture and, in a broader sense, the built environment, contribute to our understanding of the world.”

The UBCO arts festival runs through April 26, with 14 events covering the spectrum of artistic endeavours. “We have all these wonderful students making really exciting work in Kelowna, which few people outside of the university programs get to see. That’s crazy,” said Michael V. Smith, festival organizer and creative writing professor. This evening, Thursday, April 10, there is a public performance by the interdisciplinary performance students in the University Theatre for $5, doors open at 8 p.m., and on Saturday, April 12, visual arts and creative writing students will launch their Dig Your Neighbour-

Davis from A16 his city. He must quickly decide what he is willing to sacrifice in pursuit of perfection as the lines between his personal and professional life become blurred. Also starring Jennifer Garner, Denis Leary, Frank Langella and Sam Elliot, it will be interesting to see if, after all these years, Kevin Costner can still find success with a sports movie after starring in past hits like Bull Durham, Field of Dreams and Tin Cup. Oculus looks to be a decidedly creepy entry in the horror genre, the story of a brother and sister who were separated in their teens when he was convicted in the murder of their parents. Now in their 20s, they are reunited when he is released from custody. He wants to move on with his life but she is still haunted by that fateful night and is determined to prove his innocence. She is convinced that an antique mirror in their childhood home had a malevolent supernatural force which not only caused their parent’s deaths but similar deaths of previous owners over the past century Two faith-based movies are playing at the Grand 10 over the next week. Starting Friday is God’s Not Dead, the movie that has been a surprise hit in the United States and is now getting a release in Canada. It is the story of a Christian college student who is challenged by his atheist philosophy professor (Kevin Sorbo) to prove that God exists in a series of debates. If he loses, he fails the course and jeopardizes his future. Starting next Wednesday is Heaven is for Real, based on the best-selling novel and starring Greg Kinnear (more next week).

So much food and wine happening down south J

ust finishing up the May/June issue of Food & Wine Trails Magazine and there are exciting news highlights from our amazing food and wine country. In Okanagan Falls two winery restaurants are opening. New Liquidity Winery has opened with a restaurant. And beloved Wild Goose Vineyards has opened Smoke and Oak Bistro. Chef Sarren Wolfe has created a delicious Southern Comfort style barbecue menu featured around the new bar-

FOOD WINE FARM REPORT

Jennifer Schell becue/smoker/rotisserie coming from Tennessee, Wild Goose owners, the Kruger family, will be incorporating some of their German family favourite dishes like spaetzle and rotkohl salat. http://wildgoosewinery.com

As the beautiful Naramata Bench continues to flourish, get ready to welcome Legend Distillery. Doug and Dawn Lennie (former owners of The Bench Market in Penticton) open the doors this spring with a gin and vodka for sale to start, and other spirits in the works. The distillery will feature a great bar and picnic area overlooking Okanagan Lake. Naramata Heritage Inn just launched a fabulous new spring menu created by chef AK

Campbell. The internationally-inspired cuisine is based on local seasonal fare with unique flavour combinations (www. naramatainn.com). Liquid chef Jordan Fairman has delicious new cocktails as well. A day trip to the inn for lunch and a wander around the village is truly one of the best Okanagan experiences. Wander over to Forest Green Man Lavender Farm for some inhalation therapy and to pick up your copy Okanagan Slow Road, a fabu-

lous new book illustrated by co-owner Karolina Born-Tschümperlin. Written by Bernadette McDonald, it is a poetic meandering through images and verse. www.forestgreenman.com The Curds & Corks Club at Upper Bench Winery & Creamery is unlike any other club. Winemaker Gavin Miller selects seasonally appropriate wines from his portfolio and his cheesemaker wife Shana (aka The Big Cheese) perfectly

pairs each with one of her decadent cheeses. www. upperbench.ca Down yonder in Osoyoos, desert citizens are preparing for a tidal wave of activity with the Osoyoos OOOyster Festival, April 23-27. Oystermania is in store with delicious events hosted at various venues. I am thrilled to be one of the judges of the Oyster Wine Competition but I am most excited about the Mermaid Ball on Saturday, April 26. With my last name, I will fit in with

the rest of the sea life just perfectly. Sea you there. http://oooysterfestival. com for tickets and info. On June 15 the new Joy Road Patio Restaurant will open at the Wine Experience Centre at Black Hills Winery in Oliver. Joy Road is creating a fresh new menu focused on local, seasonal cuisine with a selection of flat bread pizzas paired with Black Hills wines. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

Smith swims her way on to national team Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s Kierra Smith has long envisioned wearing her country’s colours at the highest levels of international competition. The 20-year-old member of the Liquid Lightning Swim Club will realize those aspirations this summer, as a member of Canada’s national senior team for both the Commonwealth Games in Scotland, and the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia. Smith, who has previously represented Canada at the junior level, secured spots on the national senior squad with her performance last week at the Canadian swimming trials in Victoria. Smith nailed down the selection by finishing a close second in the 200-metre breaststroke on Tuesday of last week, but had to wait until Sunday before her inclusion on the team was made official.

“It has always been a dream of mine to be on Canada’s national team,” Smith said. “It means a lot knowing I will be representing my country this summer. “After having some success at junior Pan Pacs two years ago it is exciting to be getting back on the international stage at Pan Pacs and to see if I can get on the podium there,” Smith added. “Even if I don’t though, this will be such a huge experience that is good to have going into Olympic trials in 2016.” Smith, a member of the University of Minnesota swim team, is happy and relieved all the hard work in a very busy schedule has paid off. “It’s been a gruelling seven weeks for me competing at the Big 10 Championships followed by the NCAA championships, followed up with a trip Victoria for Canadian trials,” said Smith, a sophomore majoring in psychology at the U of M. “I was happy with my 2:26

pete with them now,” she said. “I owe a lot of thanks to my parents and coach Emil Dimitrov for supporting me and helping me get back on the right track after a rocky freshman year in college last year.” The Commonwealth Games will be held in Glasgow, Scotland in July, followed by the Pan Pacifics in Gold Coast, Australia in August.

KELOWNA’S Kierra Smith has qualified for Canada’s swim team for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. time which is just off my personal best, but it’s still pretty good for this time of year. “I have another month in Minneapolis and another six weeks or so in Kelowna to figure out how to shave a couple more seconds off that time and land on the podium,” she added. Lightning coach Emil Dimitrov was pleased

with Smith’s performance as she continues to gain experience performing alongside Canada’s best swimmers “This is a tremendous accomplishment and Kierra is clearly ready for prime time,” Dimitrov said. “She isn’t a wideeyed little puppy anymore intimidated at these meets. She stared everyone down, but there’s still

room for improvement. Today we celebrate, tomorrow we get back to work.” As for Smith, her growth into a top-ranked Josh Zakala national class swimmer has been a long and sometimes bumpy, yet satisfy- AQUAJETS: ZAKALA ing journey.

Head Coach Peter Wilkins is pleased with how Josh handled himself at the meet, and his composure during his races—the 800 free, 400 IM, 200 back and 1,500 free. In his four races, Zakala improved an impressive 33 seconds, a rarity at a senior national meet. His times were also good for AquaJet Club records in both the 15-17 and open categories, making him the fastest AquaJet in history in those events. “I was very confident before every race because I’ve practiced the skills needed for each race over and over and over again,” Zakala wrote in his journal. “I was very happy with my results at trials.”

Kelowna quartet cited in final NHL draft rankings Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

If the latest rankings are an accurate reflection of a player’s stock, then NHL scouts are once again taking a genuine interest in Rourke Chartier. The 18-year-old Kelowna Rockets’ centre was rated 136th among North American skaters this week in Central Scouting’s final list of

draft-eligible prospects. Chartier was one of four Rockets to be ranked, joining forward Justin Kirkland in the 67th spot, defenceman Riley Stadel in the 99th position, and centre Tyson Baillie in the 141st spot. Chartier, a Saskatoon native, began the season in the rankings but, after a slow start to 2013-14, had slipped off the map when Central Scouting issued

Rourke Chartier its midterm report.

You had your Say…

But Chartier then reemerged with a strong finish to the WHL season, scoring 16 goals and 41 points in his last 37 games. He finished the regular season with 24 goals and 58 points, and added eight points in his first seven playoff games this spring. Rockets head coach Ryan Huska isn’t the least bit surprised Chartier has moved back onto the

radar for this summer’s NHL draft. “Rourke had a real tough stretch early in the season, but then really found his game hasn’t looked back,” Huska said. “He has done a lot of great things for us and just showed us how valuable a player he is. “As a coach, I’d like to have a team full of players like Rourke,” added Huska. “He does things the

right way and is as coachable a player as you’ll ever have.” Kirkland, 18, moved up seven spots from the midseason rankings, from 74th. The 6-foot-3, 189-pound Camrose, Alta. native had a WHL career high 17 goals and 41 points this season. “Justin has a pretty good package, as far as his size and skills go,” said

Huska. “He’s a hard guy not to notice and he’s improved his game significantly since the beginning of the season. Stadel, from Surrey, slipped from 58th to 99th in the rankings. The 5-foot-10, 162-pound defenceman had 10 goals and 35 points during the regular season.

Baseball is a passion for Kelowna teen Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Athletically inclined from a young age, Courtney Desjardins enjoyed her time on both the volleyball and basketball courts.

But for the 17-yearold from Kelowna, neither sport provided the thrill or fulfillment she derives from playing baseball. “When I’m on the baseball field, I feel like I’m at home,” Desjardins said. “Because I’ve grown

up with it, I feel like it runs through my blood. A lot of my best friends are the girls I play baseball with. I just love it.” Desjardins, a Grade 11 student at KSS, has been making regular weekend trips to the Lower Main-

baseball program. land this year to train and practise with the B.C. Selects program. Earlier this winter, she travelled to Cuba for a training camp with Canada’s senior national team, featuring 39 girls from across the country. “It was the coolest experience ever,” she said. “To able to train and play with high-end players like that was amazing. Cuba was really great, too. Baseball is so big there.” While opportunities in girls’ baseball are fewer and further between than they are in softball, Desjardins has found avenues to continue to developing her game since first taking up the sport almost decade ago. Desjardins made some

of her greatest progress while playing with the Okanagan Halos’ for six seasons, many of those under the tutelage of coach Danny Jones. “Coach Danny was a huge impact on me over the years,” said Desjardins, who plays mostly at first base but, on occasion, also catches and pitches. “He wasn’t afraid to make us work hard and achieve the goals that we had set out for ourselves. I am partly the player I am today because of him and his passion for girls baseball.” Her dad, Ed Desjardins, has also played a key role in Courtney’s development, both as a coach and a chauffeur, driving his daughter to

many tournaments and camps over the years. “My wife (Nicole) and I love and live baseball with Courtney,” said Ed Desjardins. “She lives and breathes baseball and it’s very satisfying for us to see her enjoying it and doing so well at it.” Courtney has enjoyed her share of success since first stepping on to the diamond, including winning the tournament MVP at the 2013 B.C. girls’ baseball championship. She was also named female athlete of the year for 2013 by Baseball B.C. Next on Desjardins’ wish-list is earning a spot on one of two B.C. women’s teams which will compete at the Canadian national open cham-

pionships this August in Whalley. In the longer term, she hopes to one day land a college scholarship, while also cracking the roster with the national senior women’s program Wherever baseball takes her, Desjardins said none of it would be possible without the help of her two biggest fans. “My parents’ interest and support in what I’m doing is everything to me,” she said. “Driving me down to Vancouver all the time, the money and time they put into… it’s amazing and allows me to chase my dream. If it wasn’t for them, I definitely wouldn’t be doing this.”

Paterson taps Mountain United FC again for 2014 player Heat women’s soccer coach Claire Paterson has added another recruit to the program’s 2014 roster, as Emma Nelsen has committed to play for UBC Okanagan next season. Nelsen, a Vancouver native, has been playing for Mountain United FC in the BC Soccer Premier League for the past two seasons—the same program from which Paterson recruited Devon Fleming-Frame last season. It was during this time that Nelsen first caught Paterson’s eye, and now she will be playing for her as the Heat’s latest recruit. “Emma is a very technically-sound athlete who is calm on the ball and has good vision,” said Paterson. “She comes from a strong club, and I’m very excited that she has decided to join our team.” Playing centre midfielder, Nelsen has the ability to make plays both

offensively and defensively in the middle of the pitch—an aspect of the game that the Heat need to improve on with the move from the CCAA (Canadian Collegiate Athletics Association) to the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport). “I love to read the game and find plays before the ball reaches my foot,” explains Nelsen. “I like to think I show determination throughout all games and show leadership through communica-

UBC Okanagan starting in September. Emma will be pursuing a degree in management, which was a major reason why she chose to come to UBC Okanagan among other things. “I get the chance to play soccer, be close to home, and pursue a degree that I’m interested in all while living in Kelowna,” explained Nelsen. “I’m very excited to play for the Heat next year.”

Coyotes travel to Nanaimo for four

The Okanagan Coyotes will take a 4-8 record on the road to Nanaimo this weekend for Canadian College Baseball Conference action. OC will play doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday at Serauxmen Stadium against the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners. The Coyotes are coming off a split of four games last weekend. The Coyotes opened with a heartbreaking loss against the top team in the CCBC, the Prairie Academy Baseball Dawgs (PBA), 17-16 in the first of two games on Saturday. After scoring seven times in the top of the second and six times in the fourth, the Yotes pitching staff couldn’t hold the lead as the Dawgs scored

tion on the field.” Nelsen, who will graduate from Handsworth Secondary this spring, is also an incredibly smart player with the football—another major reason why Paterson nabbed her for the upcoming season. It seems her mid-80s average in her final year of high school has translated well onto the pitch, and she will get the opportunity to continue both her strong academic and athletic achievements at

eight times in the bottom of the fourth, then three times in the ninth for the comeback win. Offensively Aaron Barrett, Tyler Pentland and Brennan Reidy each had two RBIs, while Braden Heyland, Brandon Graham and Barrett each had a multi-hit game. Cole Parusinni suffered his first loss of the season. The offense must have been used up in the first game on Saturday, as the Yotes collected just three hits in the night cap against the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack (TRU), falling 1-0 in a seven inning game. Coyotes’ starter Tanner Collins was brilliant throwing a one hitter. Unfortunately that one hit came in the bottom of the

sixth. Following a twoout walk, Collins gave up a triple, scoring the lone run of the game. Derek Shedden, Garrett Weise and Braden Heyland collected the hits for the Coyotes. Sunday was a different story as Marcus Drewry (pictured) recorded his second win of the season following a 9-1 victory over the PBA Dawgs in seven innings. Drewry threw a complete game seven hitter, striking out three. Derek Shedden led the way with three hits and three RBIs, while Joel Lamont had two hits and Brandon Graham recorded two RBIs. It was the Coyotes’ first win over the Dawgs this season. Sunday afternoon the Yotes again played the

Wolfpack tough in another one run game. This time however the Coyotes claimed the victory, in a come-from-behind 9-8 win. With the Coyotes trailing 8-6 in the top of the ninth and down to their final out, Aaron Barrett doubled to start a rally. After a walk and two errors later Bryan Elias came through with a single to score two. Brandon Becking threw a scoreless ninth to collect his first win of the season. Elias and Joel Lamont each had two hits, while Heyland had three RBIs. On April 19 and 21, the Coyotes will host the four other teams in the CCBC in the Easter Weekend tournament at Elks Stadium.

Top international points for local equestrians T.O. Rockets 2nd again in B.C. female midget league For the second straight year, the Thompson Okanagan Rockets had to settle for second best in the B.C. Female Midget AAA Hockey League. And for the second straight year, it was the Fraser Valley Phantom who denied the Rockets the pennant. Last weekend in Langley, the Phantom took down the T.O. squad two games to none in the best-of-three final. In a low-scoring, tight-checking series, Fraser Valley won the opener 2-0, then followed up with a 1-0 victory in Game 2. The Rockets, who

finished third in the B.C. league during the regular season, beat the Vancouver Island Hurricanes in the quarterfinals, then downed the Northern Cougars in the semifinal to advance to the championship. The Thompson Okanagan team is comprised of players from throughout the region, including two from Kelowna, two from West Kelowna and one from Lake Country. The Phantom will represent B.C. at the Esso Cup national midget girls championship, April 20 to 23 in Stoney Creek, Ont.v

The Payton Equestrian group of riders, ranging in age from 12 years to adults, participated in the final two weeks of the competition coming out with successful ribbon placings in more than 70 classes. Four of the seven riders received high point champion in one or more of their respective divisions. Individual rider highlights: • Halle Gainey, 12:

NEWS ▼ INSURANCE CLAIMS

‘Warm and fuzzy’ relations can vanish F rom time to time, I get a call from someone needing help with an insurance claim. As soon as I figure out what they need help with I refer them to a lawyer who has expertise in that very specialized area of law. You might be doing a double take on that if you are familiar with my legal practice. The lion’s share of what I do is ICBC claims. ICBC is an insurance company. Doesn’t that mean that I do insurance claims? No, it doesn’t. An insurance claim is a claim for benefits you become entitled to by purchasing an insurance policy. One example is fire insurance. Your insurance policy entitles you to financial benefits to reimburse you for losses arising from a fire. Your claim against the insurance company to recover those benefits is an insurance claim. Life insurance, critical illness, disability and extended medical insurance are other examples. Your relationship with your insurance company in those examples

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott is “warm and fuzzy” in the sense that our law requires each of you and the insurance company to deal with each other with “good faith.” It is only a very small percentage of true insurance claims that require a lawyer’s assistance. In the claims that I handle, it is the people I am holding accountable for driving poorly and causing crashes that have the insurance policy. The law requires you, if you are a vehicle owner, to purchase a liability insurance policy. The insurance coverage extends to you and others who drive the vehicle to protect you if you cause a crash. That insurance coverage does not entitle a victim of negligent driving to any benefits. Rather, liability insurance entitles the negligent driver to the full resources of the insurance company

Ski2Sea relay race will cause traffic disruptions The 34th annual Ski2Sea relay race takes place Sunday, April 13, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., as more than 100 teams and solo participants will begin the six-leg, 95-kilometre race at Big White Ski Resort and cross the finish line in City Park. Peck Road in Rutland will be closed from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to accommodate the bike-to-run transition. Traffic control personnel and RCMP will be visible and motorists will need to watch for athletes along the route. Minor delays can be expected as participants will be given the right of way when crossing Lakeshore Road at Truswell Road. Disruptions in traffic flow may occur along Highway 33 to Garner Road. Motorists are advised to plan their routes accordingly to avoid delays.

to defend the claim the injured victim brings for fair compensation for injuries and losses. After doing their best to defend the claim, the insurance company will also pay whatever compensation the negligent driver ends up having to pay. The relationship between the negligent driver and the liability insurer is a “warm and fuzzy” one, just like with any other in-

surance. Absolutely everything is looked after for them. It is likely that the negligent driver won’t even learn the extent of their victim’s injuries and losses over the entire process, let alone how much compensation is paid. Yes, I deal with ICBC and other insurance companies with every case I handle, but I don’t handle insurance claims. The only reason the

insurance companies are involved is because they step in to look after the negligent drivers I am holding accountable on behalf of my injured clients. When I come up against them our relationship is anything but “warm and fuzzy.” Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

RUTHERFORD, BEVERLEY ANN

(June 15, 1939 - April 04, 2014) “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever” With her loving and devoted husband, Gordon by her side Beverly passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus in the early hours of April 04, 2014. Beverley was born and raised in New Westminster, BC where she was very involved in the United Church and eventually trained to become a teacher. During a time spent in Narmata Christian Leadership Training School, BC she met the love of her life Gordon and they were married on July 1, 1961. Bev and Gordon created a fulfilling life together in Field, BC, where they raised a family and were very involved in the community and outdoor living. Eventually retiring with Gordon to Kelowna in 1994 Bev thrived on spending time with him, being passionately involved with family, friends, the Winfield United Church community, traveling, reading and expressing her creative flare (quilting, sewing, knitting, cooking …) Bev’s great love of life itself will be warmly remembered by all whom she touched with her bright smile, unique ability to bring people together and organize events as well as her many gifts of kindness, creativity and generosity. Bev, you held our hands for a while and you hold our hearts forever; you were a friend and helping hand to all and will be profoundly missed! Beverley will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by her husband of 52 years, Gordon H. Rutherford, daughter Leanna (Ron) Estey, granddaughters, Emmalea, Meara and Aleah, daughter Karen (John) DiMaulo, grandsons Christopher and Matthew, sister Sharon (Ron) Hughes, nephew David (Deb) Hughes, niece Jennifer (Vili) Antic and many dear friends. Bev was predeceased by her parents, Pearl and John Staples, as well as stepfather Gordon Rice. “Those we love do not go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed, and held so dear.” The family wishes to expressly thank Bev’s GP – Dr. Mark Clark – and the staff of Spring Valley Care Centre for taking such personal and compassionate care of Beverley. A gathering in celebration of Bev’s life will take place on Saturday, May 03rd, 2014 at 2:00pm in Winfield at the Winfield United Church (3751 Woodsdale Road, Lake Country, BC.) In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation in Bev’s name can be made to a charity of your choice or the Alzheimer Society of B.C. 300-828 West 8th Avenue Vancouver, B.C. V5Z 1E2 (www.alzheimerbc.org), which is greatly appreciated. Cremation arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services, (250) 860-6440.

There is a new Indian cookbook on the market in Kelowna and it’s incredible. Indian Inspired Cuisine from Meena’s Indian Kitchen (Meena Cleland) is easy to read, has wonderful full page coloured photos (all taken on their home balcony by Brian Sprout) and was designed and laid out by Parool Joshi. The most important part is that Cleland dedicated it to her husband, Paul Cleland. The recipes are a combination of Meena’s students’ favourites, her

family’s contributions and also from her own collection which she has enjoyed creating and perfecting over the years. Her dishes are Indian inspired, her cuisine being a blend of East and West. She has added a wine pairing and over 65 gluten-free recipes are featured. The cookbook is full of Meena’s masala recipes, appetizers, snacks, salads, chutneys, salads, soups, chicken, beef, lamb, pork, seafood, vegetables, rice, breads, desserts, beverages and one pot meals. There is even a “what you need to know before you start” section. If you enjoy Indian food and would like to try your hand at cooking this cuisine, this is the book to purchase for $24.95 at www.meenasindiancuisine.com.

Glass of wine really is good for the heart The Vibrant Vine donates $1 from each limited release bottle to Interior Heart & Surgical Centre. Because we’re all looking for another great excuse to have that next glass of wine, the Vibrant Vine is giving back to their community by donating $1 from their Hugs & Kisses or Love wines released early in 2014. The Vibrant Vine is

famous for its flashy bottle wraps and 3D tasting room, but it’s not all about their look. Last year the winery’s OOPS? wine was judged Best White Wine in the World at the 2013 World Wine Competition held in Geneva, Switzerland.

The limited release wines Hugs and Kisses (muscat chardonnay) and Love (pinot grigio) are currently available for purchase in local liquor stores and $1 from each bottle will go toward the KGH Foundation’s Be a Lifesaver campaign. Be a Lifesaver’s mission is to ensure the Interior Heart & Surgical Centre (IHSC) opens fully outfitted with the critical

state-of-the-art equipment and support it needs to improve and save lives. The IHSC will be the permanent home for the first cardiac surgery program in the B.C. Interior. Every year 1,600 patients will receive cardiac care and 600 open-heart procedures will take place in the newest building on KGH’s campus. So buy your Hugs, Kisses and Love today

and that glass of wine will taste even sweeter knowing that you have helped to mend hearts and improve patient care right here at home. The KGH Foundation is an independent, volunteer-driven charitable organization committed to enhancing the delivery of health care to the patients of Kelowna General Hospital and its associated facilities.

I didn’t enjoy going places where I knew I wasn’t going to hear what people were saying and I was becoming isolated… the staff at NexGen Hearing helped me to find the right hearing aids and get adapted to them quite easily and naturally! After all, it takes more than a hearing device to fix a hearing loss - it takes professionals that really care! Thanks Colin and Lisa! Read more at nexgenhearing.com

DRIVEWAY Fridays in the Capital News

Dog owners asked to keep parks poop-free The warmer weather makes it a great time to start getting active outdoors. Kelowna has numerous parks and pathways, ideal areas for walking, hiking, cycling and more. Residents can also explore the community to its fullest on one of the city’s free Neighbourhood Walks with experienced walk leaders. However, now that Knox Mountain’s gates have opened for the season, city workers have discovered that some pet owners are not cleaning up after their dogs. Rain, shine or snow, it is the responsibility of dog owners to pick up after their pets. A maximum fine of $500 can be levied against any person not complying with these responsibilities. “It’s a matter of respecting your neighbours. Parks are for everyone’s enjoyment,” said Blair Stewart, urban forestry supervisor. “Unfortunately, issues with dogs go beyond the droppings they leave behind. “We had an incident earlier this year in which a dog took down a deer in one of our parks. Not only is this a fineable offence, it is saddening to hear when this kind of thing happens. “We want to retain Kelowna’s natural beauty and habitat and that means ensuring dogs are under their owner’s control at all times.” For more information on our city’s bylaws, visit kelowna.ca/bylaws.
