Trustees face $4 million in budget cuts Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
the market after the abrupt Thursday evening resignation of Wolfe Wesle.
Expect to hear about belt tightening at local schools following the latest district-wide budget. In an attempt to get a grasp on the $4-million disparity between incoming funds and ongoing debts across the Central Okanagan School District, the school board met last week to compose a list of 10 cuts. Most significant, according to board chair Moyra Baxter, is a $1.3-million reduction to the per pupil funding across the region for the 2014-15 budget. “That is $70 less per pupil going to schools,” said Baxter, explaining that the school district usually allots $4,500 of $6,900 it gets from the province to local schools for each registered student. The $70 apiece cut may not sound like much, but Baxter explained those are the dollars that are used for the bare necessities. “At the school level when they sit down with less money, they’re going to have to look at things like special programs, and special areas of support, and maybe extra learning assistance,” she said. “It’s a school-by-school decision. We’re leaving it to every school to sit down and see how these funds will be spent.” Other significant cuts include $250,000 taken from the district’s technology budget, $50,000 reduction to the Hollywood Road/Learning Centre budget, $120,000 less for the operations department budget and $500,000 less for the resource allocation to schools. Baxter added that the cuts may not seem that noticeable in the upcoming school year, but if the district is forced to keep clawing back services to keep up with growing expenses, it will be a different story. “If we have to make these cuts again next year, and don’t put (the funding) back… it has a cumulative effect,” she said. “Absolutely people are going to start noticing that we have started to make these cuts—especially if the cost of utilities keep going up.” It’s not just utilities, either.

Shake-up on executive for farmers’ market

Relationships at the Kelowna Farmers’ Market were recently frac-

It’s just not yet clear where that track leads, said new market president Rachelle Zelaney, explaining that plans to move the market to a

Student supervisory duties to be curtailed Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Students won’t feel much strain from the first phase of the teachers’ job action, but it won’t be painless for all. Moyra Baxter, chair of the Central Okanagan School Board, said that an emergency meeting was held to address the shortfall created by the teachers’ job action. It’s expected that school district senior staff —principals, vice- principals, and administrators— will bear the brunt of administrative services that teachers are withdrawing. “It will have the most effect on supervision before and after school because teachers have said they won’t do it anymore,” Baxter said. “In 2011 to 2012, it went on for seven months and we had people who had to drive from the school board office to a school for supervision.” The “logistical nightmare” that creates could prompt some minor change at the school level, such as pushing recess to the end of the day to save the senior staff the hassle of driving across the city for a short supervisory stint. “These people are really busy anyway,” said Baxter. Administrative staff are at bare minimum anyway. Now they have to
Teachers take job action During Stage 1 job action teachers will not: • Undertake any mandated supervision of students outside of regularly scheduled classes, except as set out by an essential services order • Attend any meetings with management other than meetings of the worksite Joint Health and Safety Committee • Provide principals or administrators with any routine printed, written, or electronic communication • Receive any printed, written, or electronic communication from an administrator • Be at a worksite prior to one hour before commencement of instructional time and one hour after the end of instructional time, other than for pre-arranged voluntary activities. catch up and do all sorts of things…it’s not something we’re looking forward to.” Baxter pointed out, that teachers have a problem with the provincial government, not those who will suffer from the job action, and the current conditions are unfair. The BC Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker pointed out that the lack of action from the provincial government on contract demands is what’s really unfair. On April 17, he issued notice of a job action that’s to start Wednesday. “Job action, even lowlevel action, is always a last resort because teachers care deeply about our schools and our students,” Iker said. “That is why teach-
ers are asking for smaller classes, more one-onone time for our students, extra help for those who need it, and more specialist teachers to enhance every student’s educational experience.” Iker also said that any escalation of Stage 1 to Stage 2, which would mean rotating strikes, will depend entirely on progress at the negotiating table. “Teachers expect the government to abandon the ill-conceived 10-year scheme, make improvements to working and learning conditions like class size, class composition, and specialist staffing levels as well as offer a fair and reasonable salary increase. Our hope is for a negotiated deal at the bargaining table and not escalating job action.”
Tough choices for schools Cuts from A1 School districts have had to kick in more for rising MSP premiums for their employees, and they have to figure out how to pay for salary increases set out in the recent CUPE agreement that weren’t funded by the province.
Baxter said that even simply offering an exemption from a hydro rate hike would have helped the district balance its budget, but the province said no to that, as well. The trustees regular meeting Wednesday will see the board finalize its budget cutting decisions.

Every April, millions of Sikhs world-wide celebrate Vaisakhi Day. The occasion is marked for two reasons. It’s a time when farmers harvested their crops and celebrated the coming of a new year. It’s also an important day in the Sikh religious calendar—the day the Khalsa was created. Kelowna started their

ATV rider takes a bad tumble
▼ FARMERS’ MARKET
Permanent home sought Executive from A1 A meeting had been called that night so vendors could vote on whether Wesle and four members of the executive should be impeached for their recent actions around a proposed relocation. Under fire was the board’s decision to go ahead with a move to a north end site that the majority of vendors had voted against. Wesle stepped down, but the vote was still taken. “They would have had to get 75 per cent (consensus) to impeach,” said Zelaney. “It was 66 per cent.” There may not have been an official ousting, but Zelaney said the vendors sent a clear message about what they want, and for the time being it’s not
the Urban Square site. “It’s important to move forward as a group. It’s important to mend the rift,” Zelaney said Monday. “I think the necessity to find a new permanent home is still there. “Whether that’s Urban Square or somewhere else, we need to make the best decision for the society as a whole and right now I’m not sure what that means.” What’s clear is there is still need for a forever-home. Orchard Park mall has only granted a yearto-year lease of the property where the market currently resides and security is required for long-term sustainability, Zelaney explained. “If they re-evaluate what they want, we need to have an alternative.

can’t be without a home. It’s our livelihood,” she said. Then there’s the issue of growth. “We are busting at the seams,” she said, adding there are mornings where vendors are turned away. In the last six years, the market society has examined at least 20 different sites, she said, and none of them have worked. Urban Square is still a possibility, but one that will be examined down the road with the full participation of market members. “We want this market to continue, and we’d like to see the memberships stay intact,” said Zelaney. “We’re going to keep trucking forward.” kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

A female ATV rider was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries after the ATV she was driving rolled down an embankment and on top of her while she was riding with a group on Spion Kop mountain in Lake Country on Saturday. Lake Country fire crews as well as B.C. Ambulance responded to the accident. Fire officials had to use an ATV of their own to access the injured rider, towing a specialized trailer equipped with a basket stretcher through the backcountry.
The woman was riding in a group of six when the accident happened. Her fellow riders stabilized and stayed with her, while one member of the group rode down and into cell service before calling 911. Lake Country fire chief Steve Windsor said the group made the right moves in the situation. “The woman was wearing a helmet which was a good thing because she took a good hit to the head,” said Windsor. “They stayed with her and kept her immobile so there wouldn’t be any damage if there was a neck injury.” Lake Country fire crews pur-
chased the specialized trailer a few years ago to access remote areas of Lake Country, where full size vehicles and even helicopters can’t access. Windsor said the trailer came in handy. “We’ve had it happen before,” he said. “The area is fairly inaccessible for a full size vehicle and helicopters can’t land there.” Meanwhile, Windsor reports that Lake Country fire crews responded to a car fire in Oyama Monday morning. An electrical short appears to be the cause of the fire that destroyed the vehicle and the temporary shed that it was housed in.

The development did little to shed light on what happened that dark, rainy night for Snowball’s mom Margaret. “We were hoping that by attending the trial we would hear the details of how and why Gemma was tragically killed and it would, in some way, pro-

The guilty plea by this person ensures that we remain this way. “As a family we should have the right

▼ ICBC REBATES
Cheque coming for 240,000 drivers result and 240,000 drivers are owed cumulative refunds stretching back as far as 2008, according to ICBC. The public auto insurer is updating vehicle descriptions for past years so it can accurately recalculate historic premiums and repay improper charges for the last six years—as far back as its legacy computer system permits. Another 350,000 customers paid less than they should have by about $34 per year on average but ICBC won’t bill them retroactively. Affected drivers are to be notified and receive refund cheques by
July. ICBC expects to pay out $36 million in refunds plus interest of $3 million. It estimates it lost $71 million in underpayments since 2008. The faulty vehicle descriptions affect only optional insurance, not basic rates. ICBC’s board is also appointing an outside auditor to review the error. The error isn’t expected to recur because ICBC’s modernized system will pull the correct description from the vehicle identification numbers, instead of being entered manually by Autoplan agents.

ICBC says it accidentally overor under-charged nearly 600,000 of its optional auto insurance customers and will issue refunds, with interest, averaging $162 to those who paid too much. Most motorists aren’t affected by the glitch, which happened because incorrect descriptions were assigned years ago to some vehicles. The error was uncovered last year with ICBC’s move to a new computer system. About 1.8 per cent of optional insurance customers paid an average of $21 too much per year as a

▼ OUR VIEW
Same old rhetoric
C
ontact talks have reached an impasse between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government. So teachers will begin job action to create public pressure to reach an agreement. The government is not likely to be swayed by such actions. And in the background, the Central Okanagan Board of Education meets this week to decide on where to slice $4 million of its 2014-15 operating
budget. For parents, this is the same old song all over again. Our public education system is eroding with each successive contract talks head butting between the BCTF and Victoria, and is it all really necessary? The faces change with each round of new talks, but the path the talks tend to follow, acrimony followed by a settlement that never seems to satisfy the BCTF. The new player this time
around is BCTF president Jim Iker, who is sending the same message that his militant predecessors have issued. That the end result will be any different for the teachers is questionable at this stage. As always, the current contract talks will come down to teachers’ salaries. But what shouldn’t be lost in the teachers contract rhetoric is that the education ministry is socking it to Central Okanagan School District again with this
$4 million budget cut downA loading exercise. Unlike what the education minister at the time says about all of us being in this together, taking fiscal responsibility for our school system, nothing could be farther from the truth. Perhaps some of that $2 million invested in planning for the second Okanagan Lake bridge crossing pipedream might have been better invested in our local school system.

B.C. can provide even better health care outcomes
I
have stated before that I believe our publicly funded health care system is our commitment to each other as Canadians. I’ve observed and written about our health care system for years. Through all the successes and failures, I’ve concluded that British Columbia may have some of the best health outcomes in the country but we can do better. Doctors, nurses, social workers, patients and others who play a role want better health outcomes for those struggling
with health issues, including our most vulnerable. The provincial government is committed to improving outcomes. One of the Norm ways we can do this Letnick through the Select Standing Committee on Health. The committee is helping us have a better accounting of the health care system, which we need in order to make good decisions for the benefit of all. The system requires billions in public and private capital and operat-

ing spending, as well as hundreds of thousands of people who have been called to serve. Advocacy groups constantly vie for attention from the public and politicians to improve the conditions for those they represent and, hopefully, the population as a whole. Our system was primarily designed for patients who need intense, episodic care for incidents such as broken bones, car accidents and heart attacks. Advances in technology—especially in diagnostic imaging and pharmaceuticals—has been shifting our system’s focus to those of us with chronic conditions, such as diabetes,
COPD, cardio-vascular disease and Alzheimer’s, to name but a few. The good news is we are living longer. The bad news is some of us are living longer but with greater, more expensive health care needs. Our system won’t collapse under the weight of boomers, the huge segment of the population who have reached the age where they require more health care services. Technology and innovation at the Ministry of Health is helping the system embrace this shift in demographics. But while we have made significant progress in maintaining the sustainability of our publicly funded
health care system, there are still fiscal and service challenges on the horizon. The provincial Standing Committee on Health, made up of members from both political parties and representing a cross section of all British Columbians, is at work trying to identify how we can achieve, in five or more years, an approach known as the “Triple Aim.” The Triple Aim was coined by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement—a non-profit organization with a mandate to improve care services worldwide. This approach focuses on three things: making changes in the

▼ LAYING BLAME
Every child should get ‘intense scrutiny’ every second of their lives until they are adults To the editor: How stupid are we, do we not have any common sense? Perhaps the issue is too great to accept responsibility for your offspring. The ramifications would implicate almost every adult including all politicians, judicial personal from supreme court judges, RCMP, clerks in court buildings, including adult citizens on the street. The judicial system does not want to open this can of worms. They al-
lowed or bought the technology, giving it to their 18 and younger siblings without intense supervision or guidance. These pre-teens and teens have killed themselves because of online bulling. Who’s fault is it? 1. The bully? 2. The parents who gave them the technology without supervision or guidance? 3. The person 18 and younger who killed them-
selves? Remember, without the technology or proper intense supervision they would not have killed themselves. This would have been stopped before it went to far. They would not be sexting others if the proper parental super vision was in place. It is obvious that in Amanda Todd’s case, or Rehtaeh Parsons, their Internet activity was not properly monitored by her parents negating their
duty to her. Truth hurts, but take responsibility for your lackadaisical parenting. Remember the court system is just [as] at fault because [of its] wanton inaction. The truth being this would not have happened if they would have taken more of an interest in what she was doing on the Internet or not giving her this technology. It would not have placed her in this situation.
However; it seems to always be the other guy’s fault, not mine. I am not stating the bully is faultless. He, she or they must also be held accountable for their actions. (Common sense dictates this.) Adults are shirking their responsibilities to their offspring and with society’s blind eye to it all. Time that society must grow up. Frank Desmet, Kelowna
▼ FRIVOLOUS SPENDING
Politicians do a double lutz with our money To the editor: Well, Premier Clark has done it again. $100,000 to Skate Canada. Skate B.C. would make it sound like the tax payers of this province
had a hand in this donation. I have an idea: Let’s send every mailing address in British Columbia a flag to fly on Canada Day, that way every tax payer will benefit from
our money being spent by our government. I wonder, if we started a movement and called it The Society For People First we could get a donation for the cost of such a program.
Am I serious, perhaps, but it is not hard to understand that most functions where there are a lot of people, you will find a politician. The day after being voted into office they start
working on being voted in for the next election. Give us a break. You have a way to go yet on your People First platform. Russ Lennstrom, Kelowna

I know many of you are keen to offer your recommendations. I encourage you to offer your thoughts about the challenges ahead and how we can achieve the Triple Aim. While the issues the committee will seek input on may differ, here are
some of the questions I hope to receive answers to: It’s now time for British Columbia to have a grown up discussion on health.

BRIEFS AWARD WINNER
Orchard Ford Sales Ltd. is among an elite group of Ford and Lincoln dealerships to be recognized with the 2013 President’s Diamond Club Award by Ford Motor Company of Canada. This award is Ford’s highest dealership honour, presented annually to dealerships which demonstrate outstanding achievement in sales and customer satisfaction. “Earning The President’s Award signifies our entire staff’s dedication to delivering superior customer satisfaction day in and day out,” said Orchard Ford Sales Ltd. principal owner Dan Assam. “I couldn’t be more proud to receive this recognition, especially since it comes from the people we value most—our customers. They’re the reason we are able to accept this award.” Besides winning the President’s Award 12 times, the Kelowna Ford dealership has also won the North America Customer Excellence Award six times and the Distinguished Achievement Award, Quality Dealer three times.
EXPANSION
InspireHealth has received funding from a private foundation to expand its program delivery in the Southern Interior. The Kelowna branch of InspireHealth opened its doors in September 2012 and serves the Boundary, Cariboo, Kootenay, Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions. The new funding will make it possible to deliver InspireHealth programs in Vernon, Penticton and Kamloops one day each month, ranging from cooking classes, nutritional presentations, expressive art workshops, support groups and exercise programs. They will also offer public presentations focused on prevention. InspireHealth is a not-for-profit organization. Their medical team uses the latest research available to work together with patients who have a diagnosis of cancer to optimize recovery and survival, and to reduce the risk of recurrence. The whole-person approach integrates healthful nutrition, exercise, and emotional, spiritual and immune support with standard cancer treatment.
Tech business gathers growth momentum Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna native Matt Crowell says he is anything but a techie. But the way the 27-year-old’s tech-related business is growing, he’s not going to be able to claim that for much longer. A year ago, Crowell, a former Kelowna Minor Hockey player who played junior hockey in Williams Lake and earned a scholarship to Rochester Institute of Technology, was toiling away on his tech business as the sole employee. Now Get in the Loop, a mobile app that offers its members deals to premium restaurants, golf courses, hotels and a number of other industries, employs seven full-time and two part-time people and is established in several major cities in western Canada. And his success has a lot to do with Accelerate Okanagan, a Kelowna-based incubator that offers entrepreneurs office space, mentorship and guidance through the start-up process. “Accelerate Okanagan is one of the most useful programs any startup could be a part of,” said Crowell. “It’s crucial to succeed. You get mentorship, you’re part of a team and they help you understand the value your company has. “If you are doing this alone, you are really just shooting in the dark. It allowed us to grow so quickly and to make the right decisions because we were getting help from people who have been there before.” As Crowell worked away at Get in the Loop, sitting in coffee shops for a
couple of hours each morning before heading into his day job, he thought there were a couple of different ways to make money from his idea. But at Accelerate, the resources available to him opened up different channels and changed his thinking to where those original ideas were surpassed by more innovative thinking. “They have mentors who have done it before and they can guide you,” he said. “It’s just like training in hockey. When you are training alongside the best, it’s so much easier to get better.” At Accelerate Okanagan, his start-up enjoyed organic office space, board rooms to use and everything under one roof. But as Get in the Loop is growing, Crowell needs more space for his team. He is looking to expand, although he wants to stay in the same area as other technology based companies. “We’re surrounded by different companies that are all trying to do different things but are sharing knowledge on things like the challenges of entrepreneurship,” he said. With his company’s growth, Crowell has now posted more job offerings and is continually expanding across western Canada, with the aim of going nationwide. “Our early goals were to be in all of western Canada and we’re already in conversations to move to the rest of Canada,” said Crowell. “It’s been an unbelievable experience. We’re on a neat path right now but we tell our people to enjoy everyday because it is tech and because it can change any day.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Social networking has a long history in the work place T WORK LIFE
Laurie Mills setting takes a combination of political savvy and exceptional people skills. I’m not convinced this is something that can be taught, though it is definitely a talent that can be learned. To demonstrate my point, I’d like to share the story of Gerry. He was a colleague of mine years ago when I worked parttime while in graduate school. Our jobs consisted of tracking international rail shipments for Canadian customers. We used complex computerized systems to follow a shipment’s progress. When the customers called we needed to be able to tell them right away where their cargo was and when they could expect it to arrive. Inevitably there were delays.
This was a customer service role first and foremost. Everything was time sensitive and that put a lot of pressure on our team to resolve issues quickly and effectively. Each of us needed to know who to contact when we ran into a complication with the shipment. The biggest challenge was learning how to navigate all the interconnected systems and people that made the railway run. The job was overwhelming for a newcomer like me, clearly not a good fit but I was a student and needed the income. In hindsight, I grew to appreciate it for the real educational experience that it was. I learned from a master about how a social network could make a difficult job not only easier, but actually fun. One of the main lessons from this experience was the difference between formal training and in the trenches learning. My training involved spending time with two key people on the team—
John, a smart, articulate young man who knew the formal work systems very
well and Gerry who also knew the systems but also used his contacts to get
things done in a uniquely efficient way. It quickly became ob-

I’d like to bring us back to the basics because social networking in a work context has a much longer history. The social component here is obviously the personal connections between people, the relationships between those who have some sort of stake in the work that is getting done. They may be internal or external contacts but there is a relationship of some kind that is mutually productive and rewarding. The purpose of building such a social network is to leverage those resources when they are needed to get things done. It’s more than getting the right department involved to resolve a particular problem; it’s about knowing which person in that department is able and most willing to help out.

Q A
What are the benefits of improved hearing? There’s a lot of research on the impact of hearing loss on quality of life and the benefits of improved hearing are substantial.
• Reduced fatigue, frustration and stress. • Greater confidence in the ability to communicate. • Improved personal relationships. • An enhanced sense of awareness, comfort and connection with one’s surroundings. • The renewed ability to hear sounds that have been forgotten. Early detection is key to finding the right solution so you can stay connected and continue getting the most out of life.
Q
My elderly parents still love to have a little bit of a garden but the work is too much for them, would we be able to ask a care-giver to help mom and dad with some light gardening?
A
Gardening is something many of us enjoy, especially as we get older and it is important to stay connected with the things that bring us such enjoyment. It is so good for our physical and mental health to get outside, enjoy the fresh air and sunshine and putter in our gardens. Nurse Next Door care-givers would be more than happy to support and assist a client’s interest in their garden because they understand the enhanced quality of life their client’s get from once again being able to ‘putter’ in their garden with their care-giver.

Embrace gaining knowledge from taking calculated risks Young from A10 ate benefits in profit, performance and sense of purpose when people are encouraged and taught to use their ingenuity, invest themselves in their work, and expect exponential results for their effort. Now let’s bring into the mix the dimension of entrepreneurial leadership. A huge part of becoming an entrepreneurial leader is learning to simplify complexity, enabling your entrepreneurial team to act with self-confidence in the tasks assigned to them, with the innovative and creative juices that one might logically expect given the atmosphere of new venture inspiration. So when do you know this entrepreneurial mindset has kicked in? I have come to the realization it’s when you begin to think and act like the unusual people we might call habitual entrepreneurs, people who have made careers out of creating new ventures whether working within existing businesses or independent start-ups. The point in our journey to recognize how they think, how they behave and exactly what it is they do so extremely well. They truly capitalize on uncertainty rather than avoid it, and create simplicity where others see complexity. They embrace learning that comes from taking calculated risks. These entrepreneur types recognize that when opportunities are fleeting, it’s sometimes more expensive to be slow rather than to be wrong. As a consequence of this, they will find solutions that are roughly right it seems rather than consume time developing an analytically correct answer. This special entrepreneur grouping has an immense amount of insight and experience to offer you and me. They passionately seek new opportunities in a wide range of paths. They pursue opportunities with enormous discipline. They pursue only the very best opportunities. They focus on execution, that is to say taking action toward results instead of analyzing to death every step along the way. And finally, they engage the energies of absolutely everyone with-
in their domain, involving people both internally and externally to their sphere of reference. They create and sus-
tain networks of relationships, rather than going it alone. They make the most of the intellectual and
other resources offered in their journey and, in turn, help those people to achieve their goals as well These are some of
the absolute keys to the entrepreneurial mind that I have uncovered through my research. They will unlock the potential of
people working today, and open the doors of unlimited possibility in their worlds for the future. Joel Young is an entre-
preneurship coach, educator and founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

She added the group has always been diligent about cleaning the gym floor before and after they play. “We mop before, we mop after…(then) I take the mops home and wash them,” said Kloster. Kloster said she was surprised when she received the letter, especially considering it gave no explanation of why the group was being asked to stop using wax. “I thought the least they could do was give us a reason why,” said Kloster. “We shuffled for years at Water Street (Senior’ s Centre) and had no problem.”

JOE Kalopenuk puts wax on the Parkinson Activity Centre gym floor before the shuffleboard group begins their weekly set of games. Initially the group was told to stop using the wax immediately, but Kloster said they have since been told they have to stop using the product by July. Lori Angus, recreation and business services manager with the City of Kelowna, said the wax being used by the group has already impacted the hardwood floor in a building that is less than a year-
and-a-half old. “You can’t just sweep it up. It starts to make a bit of a film,” said Angus, adding maintenance workers have to use various products and techniques to remove the wax. “We are concerned, of course, with the maintenance of it and being able to maintain the finish on the floor.

cerned with the safety because it creates a slippery surface and this particular floor isn’t used just for shuffleboard.” Although Angus said she wasn’t aware of any incidents to date of anyone being hurt or injured on the floor, she said the goal is to be proactive and avoid safety risks. “I’d hate to think we have to wait until something happens to start reacting to it. We’re talking about dance groups and we’re talking about fitness classes…where there is potentially a lot of movement. A slippery floor for seniors doing active movement is a potential problem.” Angus said the intent is to find a way the group can continue playing shuffleboard without compromising the activity centre’s floor. “We’ve got staff who are going back to the distributor of the particular product they’re using and (will) ask whether or not there are alternatives. “They want to play shuffleboard, so we want to make sure that they have that opportunity to do it. We’re going to see what we can come up with as far as a solution.”

Transition from loss of loved one Horne from A14 We laughed together last night, as we wondered if we still knew how to talk about anything besides what goes in a body and what comes out. Can I bring all that I have learned over these past nine months to our relationship over the next seven days as we trek the hills together? As I recently swam my lengths at the pool, I suddenly was overcome by an immense feeling of gratitude. As I bobbed up for each breath and then submerged myself back into the water, my heart began bursting with such a warm feeling that it encompassed my entire being. Is this what it is all about? Coming to an appreciation of life with all of its twists and turns? As I had brought my stress to a coffee date with a dear friend just prior to going to the pool, she listened attentively and compassionately to my rambling conversation of the many steps of preparation I was trying to deal with before leaving to go away. Just being with her helped me to let go, as the discussion turned to all that I looked forward to sharing with others in a weekend workshop

SPRING CAR CARE
Steps to help preserve vehicle’s paint job Breaking bad habits can be hard, especially if you don’t even know you have one. It’s the same when it comes to car care—many of us aren’t aware when we commit a car care faux pas which could affect the look and longevity of our vehicle. Autoglym offers the following advice to correct some common bad habits: 1. Clean your car consistently throughout the year. Create a routine and
set a specific day to wash your vehicle. Washing your car at least once or twice a month is recommended to maintain a superior finish. 2. Don’t skip the polish and wax. If you fail to polish and wax your car every few months, opting only to wash it, you’re only doing half the job—so make sure you do it right. Combining the polishing and waxing steps every few months are essential for your car’s care. Polishing is an important step to re-
pair and revive your car’s shine, while waxing protects your car’s paintwork against environmental factors and weather conditions. A quick way to maintain your wax on the go is to apply Autoglym’s Aqua Wax. With this, there’s no need to dry your car after washing, saving you time and effort. 3. Make sure to clean your tires. Cleaning your wheels is a quick and easy way to improve the overall look of your car. Not only
does it make them look great, but regular cleaning prevents the build-up of brake dust, which if left will become difficult to remove. Don’t neglect your tires either—a high quality dressing will refresh old rubber, leaving it like new. 4. A little elbow grease in the undercarriage goes a long way. It’s not just about the paint—clean the undercarriage of your car frequently. If you don’t, rusting won’t be your only problem, as the metal in
your frame can become brittle and lead to an expensive bill on your next safety inspection. 5. Deal with the problem spots immediately. Don’t leave cleaning bird droppings and dirt until later, as these problem spots will become harder to remove the longer you leave them on your car. Tree sap is particularly damaging, as it dries very hard and can attach itself to your car with a tarlike bond. Learn more at www. autoglym.com.

Engine idling is a waste of fuel Did you know that if every driver of a light-duty vehicle in Canada decreased their vehicle idling by three minutes a day, we would collectively save more than 500 million litres of fuel and more than $500 million annually in fuel costs? Not only that, we would prevent more than one billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere each year. Automobile manufacturers have come up with a way to help drivers reduce fuel use and prevent unnecessary engine idling. Idle start-stop systems are a proven technology that has been successfully deployed over the past 10 years in hybrid vehicles. Manufacturers have also begun to make these technologies available in conventional vehicles sold in Canada. Idle start-stop systems reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions by turning off the engine when the vehicle is stopped and during deceleration at low vehicle speeds. The system automatically restarts the engine when the driver hits the accelerator. In hybrids, when the car comes to a stop, the engine computer cuts the spark and the fuel. When the foot is lifted off the brake, the engine fires back up. Idle stop systems offer significant benefits in urban driving where stop-and-go traffic is frequent, and can reduce urban fuel consumption by four to 10 per cent depending on the technology used and specific driving conditions. The technology is designed to provide seamless operation so that drivers are not inconvenienced while driving. Greater fuel-efficiency on the roads is achieved by consumers who make informed choices when purchasing, maintaining and driving their vehicle.

DRIVER distraction is an increasing hazardous road
Drivers: Pay attention to what’s happening outside the vehicle A recent poll by Allstate Insurance Company of Canada shows that although 94 per cent of respondents are aware of current distracted driving penalties, only seven per cent say this would prevent them from driving distracted. Respondents were more likely to name awareness of the dangers of distracted driving as a deterrent. However, this awareness hasn’t led to a significant change on the roads. Insurance industry research shows that while most people understand the dangers of distracted driving, and disapprove of the behaviour, many of these individuals admit to engaging in those practices. “We found that 89 per cent of teen respondents said they would voice a concern if they were a passenger in a vehicle where a driver was driving distracted, and yet many of these same respondents admit to doing it themselves,” said Saskia Matheson, spokesperson for Allstate Canada. Some of the most common distractions reported in the poll include drivers adjusting music (82 per cent), eating or drinking (59 per cent) and talking on the phone without a hands-free device (15 per cent). “Car crashes are the leading cause of death among youth in Canada, and distracted driving puts everyone in danger,” said Matheson. “We need to personalize the risks and consequences and turn awareness into action and real behavioural change.”
Vehicles can sometimes be dangerously uncommunicative devices, often failing to make their owners aware of potential problems. Unless you know how to interpret their often subtle clues they might not let you know their tires are worn, their shock absorbers lame, their transmissions failing and their engines losing efficiency. But one system, the brakes, always communicates its ills to the driver. Sometimes they employ sign language. The simplest to read is a red warning light on the dash, although sometimes it can be as subtle as a small puddle of brake fluid. But they also com-
municate by feel through a soft, spongy or even overly hard brake pedal, or through rhythmic pulsations or vibrations felt through the pedal. Or by juddering or pulling to one side when the brakes are applied. Brakes can be vocal too, emitting a range of highly audible squeals, squeaks, chirps, groans, rattles and grinding sounds. These can be dire warnings or simply pleas for maintenance, but either way prompt response is required to prevent potentially life-threatening situations caused by poor braking performance or outright failure.
A vehicle’s brakes work by forcing a friction material against a disc or drum that rotates with the wheel. Hydraulic pressure applied by the brake pedal works calipers that clamp brake pads against brake discs, or shoes against the interior surface of a drum. Even normal usage generates a lot of heat, and obviously wear over time. Many of the small mechanical components involved can also wear, rust, seize or otherwise malfunction.
Brake fluid can also degrade and must be changed periodically. A new vehicle’s brakes should last 60,000 to 80,000 km on average, but a number of factors can shorten this dramatically. A properly done brake job should last at least as long. Car Care Canada recommends brakes be checked at least once a year, or every 20,000 km, to monitor wear and catch developing problems. A number of service providers offer free brake
inspections, others maintenance packages that often include an oil and filter change, along with an inspection and minor adjustment of various systems, including the brakes.

Hockey lives up to hype Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Heading into the Western Hockey League’s Western Conference final between the Kelowna Rockets and the Portland Winterhawks, the series was hyped as the one that everyone wanted to see. Two of the top three teams in the CHL rankings, the top two teams in the WHL and intense rivals who had met in the playoffs two of the past three seasons. But could the series live up to the hype? Well after the first two games in Kelowna the answer was a resounding yes as the Kelowna and Portland exchanged blows like two heavyweight boxers, standing in the ring and slugging away at each other. Each team won a round with the Rockets claiming a 5-4 win Friday night before Portland answered
back with a 5-3 decision on Saturday. The best-of-seven series now shifts to Portland for games three and four, beginning tonight (Tuesday) and continuing Wednesday. The two games in Kelowna were fast-paced and hectic and played in front of two capacity crowds at Prospera Place. Rockets defenceman Damon Severson said Portland should be no different and he’s looking forward to a couple of big road games for his team. “Portland is a fun place to play,” said Severson. “Their fans are going to be just like ours were (in games 1 and 2). That was the best fan base we’ve had in a few years. They are saying it was just like back in 2009 (when the Rockets won the WHL Championship). It was great to see our fans out like that. We just have to go down to Portland,
really go for it, and see what happens.” The Rockets opened the series with an entertaining win on Friday. After falling behind 3-0, Kelowna raced back to take over the game in the second and third periods en route to the win. Not to be outdone, the Winterhawks turned the trick on Kelowna in game 2, erasing a 2-0 Kelowna lead to dominate the rest of the way in a 5-3 win. Severson says they had a let-down on Saturday and couldn’t respond and says they need to play better in Portland. “We need to play like we did in the first game, where we played such a strong game, other than the first few minutes,” he said. “We need to stick to our game plan, be patient and be ready for Tuesday night.” The Rockets left for Portland on Sunday morning and had a full day to

“You move on pretty quick,” he said. “You don’t have time to dwell on things. We’re going to learn from some things, and change some things and be ready for Tuesday night. We know the type of team they have. They are very good when they are given time and space and on Saturday night

Heat gets 6-ft-9 Albertan
We want to hear from you. BC Transit is working with Kelowna Regional Transit partners on service changes starting on August 31.
Forward Ryan Morck is the latest recruit to join Pete Guarasci’s UBC Okanagan men’s basketball program, as the Airdrie, Alta., product has committed to the Heat for the 2014-15 Canada West season. The 6-foot-9 Morck possesses a lean but agile body at 200 pounds. He graduates as a school allstar from George McDougall High School and will bring a stretch-forward style of play with him. A prolific scorer, he is never too shy to spot up from the three-point line; he went for 40 points in a contest last season including 8 of 10 from the arc. He was also a nightly double-double machine for the Mustangs, pouring in 28 points per game while grabbing down 15

forward position,” Heat coach Pete Guarasci said of Morck. “He has a very good range on his jumper but also has a knack for scoring close to the basket. With development we’re really excited of Ryan’s potential.” Morck’s playing style is often likened to the NBA’s Dirk Nowitzki, who happens to be one of the former’s idols. “(I like) his versatility—he’s able to shoot the ball and drive to the basket,” said Morck. “I’m pretty versatile—I can drive to the basket, and from my length I’m fairly good at rebounding. Morck will be enrolling in Human Kinetics at UBC Okanagan this fall, and is excited to enter having heard many great things about the program.

He played on the provincial team in Alberta the last three years and also competed at the 2013 Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec for team Alberta. Though lightweight for his position, Morck has already begun preparing for the jump to CIS basketball. “I am very excited for the jump to CIS basketball,” he said. “There are a couple of things I need to do to prepare, such as put on a little bit of muscle.

NEWS FROM THE UNDERWORLD Hi – it’s us….the microscopic organisms that feed your soil. Bacteria, Archaea, Actinomycetes, Fungi and Protozoa – we are all different organisms that affect soil properties. We all serve a unique purpose and without us, this pale blue dot in the universe would be nothing more than rock and water. You need us and we need you. We do many things such as: regulate nitrogen fixation; provide food sources for the larger organisms; and provide beneficial symbiotic relationships with plants to help reduce crop residues and improve the soil they inhabit. We contribute to nutrient availability in soil, manage soil stability by means of different biochemical processes such as nitrogen fixation, and we contribute to the growth and success of the plants and overall ecosystem of the soil environment. Some research has shown that we communicate with your plants, and we know that it’s happening in your own backyard. We know you want us to be productive, and we like natural sources of food – sometimes all the fertilizer that is thrown at us confuses us and clouds our ability to focus on our job and it doesn’t help our friends in the lakes around us. A quality soil developer like Classic Compost www.classiccompost.com helps us help you. Through their unique process of compost production with only natural organic materials we thrive and help produce the best organic compost available. That’s what we like to do – it keeps us busy, healthy and happy.
APRIL 22, 2014
We are natural and part of nature – please treat us naturally as we were here first and take our role in feeding the planet very seriously. Canada’s two largest provinces — Quebec and Ontario — have already banned the use and sale of many landscaping pesticides. It’s time for BC to catch up! The so-called cosmetic use of pesticides to improve the appearance of lawns and gardens poses unnecessary risks to human health and the environment. In a systematic review of scientific literature, the Ontario College of Family Physicians found “consistent links to serious illnesses, such as cancer, reproductive problems and neurological diseases” associated with long-term exposure to pesticides. Children are particularly vulnerable.

Heat grad featured at scholarship breakfast Fifth-year volleyball player Jill Festival has enjoyed team and individual success throughout her varsity days at the UBC Okanagan campus. To cap off her career with the UBCO Heat, Festival will speak at this year’s Valley First/UBC Okanagan Athletics Scholarship Breakfast on Thursday. Festival, who graduates this June with a bachelor of arts degree in English and psychology in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, captained the Heat volleyball team for the past three seasons. Strong in academics and athletics, she has won the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCNA) National Scholar Award and twice been named an Academic All-Canadian. At the scholarship breakfast,
Festival will speak about the importance of community support and how varsity athletes often depend on scholarships to allow them to play at the high-ranking Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) level. Also speaking that morning is CIS top executive Pierre Lafontaine. Rob Johnson, director of athletics and recreation at UBC Okanagan, says it’s exciting to have Lafontaine, a man so tied into the world of university sports, come to Kelowna and speak about varsity athletics. “This is an exciting time for the CIS—a new TV deal with SportsNet, a new strategic plan, and a new CEO to lead us,” said Johnson. “With our soccer teams joining our basketball and volley-
ball teams at the CIS level this fall, UBC Okanagan is well positioned to be an active member in these changes. “Canadian university sport keeps getting better and better and we are fortunate to have these opportunities here in the Okanagan.” Before joining the CIS, Lafontaine was CEO at Swimming Canada, where he led the organization to consistent podium finishes at Olympic and Paralympic games. However, to get to the podium, student athletes need more than just natural talent and a competitive drive, says Johnston. And that’s where the scholarship breakfast comes in. Money raised goes directly to student athletes. “Many of our student ath-
letes couldn’t afford to participate on our teams without the financial awards that we offer as a result the athletics breakfast,” said Johnson. UBC matches every dollar raised at the Valley First/UBC Okanagan Athletics Breakfast and overall more than $400,000 has been raised for the Athletics Scholarship Endowment. This year’s breakfast agenda will also include an address from outgoing UBC president Stephen Toope in what will be his final appearance at the athletic scholarship breakfast. He leaves his position in June. The ninth annual Valley First/ UBC Okanagan Scholarship Breakfast takes place April 24 at the Coast Capri Hotel. Doors open at 6:45 a.m. and the program begins at 7:15 a.m.
