▼ TEACHERS’ JOB ACTION

Need to cancel recess challenged Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Starting next week, school will get out a bit earlier. In an attempt to effectively manage workloads at the school district, recess will be cancelled throughout the Central Okanagan School District for the duration of the teachers’ job action. “In our school district we have looked at all of the logistics and we have determined that having our exempt staff leave the school board office and go to a school to do a supervision three times a day instead of two, is just too much,” said Moyra Baxter, chair of the Central Okanagan school board. “These people have full-time jobs themselves. Last time when they were going before and after school, it amounted to two hours a day they had to cut out of their day, and that’s quite a big percentage to take from people.” BCTF president Jim Iker had a different take on the inconvenience the job action would cause families of school children and district staff. Calling the measure unnecessary and inappropriate, Iker said principals, vice-principals, and excluded staff are more than capable of supervising the playground for 15 minutes each day. He said supervision was one of the issues addressed at the Labour Relations Board between the BC Public School Employers’ Association and the BCTF. The subsequent Labour Relations Board order states: “With respect to any before/after school, recess or noon hour supervision normally provided by teachers, before/after school supervision related only to bus drop off and pick-up, and recess and noon hour supervision will continue to be provided by teachers subject to the Employer utilizing management and excluded staff to the best extent possible to replace teachers for these activities.” Iker contends the school districts that have cancelled recess have done so because, the union says, it is inconvenient for principals and management staff to pro-

Farmers’ market squabbles won’t deter Urban Square Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Plans for a Granville Island style development in Kelowna’s north end won’t be stymied by recent tumult among local farmers’ market members, although a few among their ranks may still migrate to the site once the project comes to life. The Clement Avenue project has never relied on market support, explained

the developer behind the plan to repurpose the old BC Tree Fruits building. “We think they’re a great organization, and they represent a really good quality product, and when we’ve done our research, we’ve seen that it’s normal to have a farmers’ market working from the parking lot of a public market,” said Gary Tebbutt, of Compass Real Estate Development. “It’s just good synergy.”

But, he stressed, goals for the market to move indoors have never been in the works. For the same rate as the market pays Orchard Park mall for the parking lot they currently call home on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, Tebbutt would have signed off on a 15-year lease at the Clement Avenue site. “I really believe in what they stand for, and the executive are all volunteers who work hard,”

he said. “I feel bad that this caused such disharmony.” If all goes well, it’s inside the behemoth building is where the plans for Urban Square will come to life by June 2015. Imagine Granville Island, from a Kelowna perspective. That means much of what’s offered at the farmers’ market will be available in the market environment. “We’re going to be really careful about the

quality of the product… They need to make, bake or produce their product locally,” said Tebbutt. Having made that goal known months ago, it’s not surprising that Tebbutt has fielded a number of inquiries from people who currently sell their wares at the local market. “We always knew that larger vendors at the Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market wanted to transition to a full-time market,” he said, adding there will

be somewhere between 40 and 70 spots that need to be filled. “We have 50 really solid inquiries from vendors who want to be in the indoor market, which will be a year-round, six-daya-week market.” In addition to comment from vendors, the site has also been a repository for community input. “The comments we’ve been getting have been almost unpredictably positive and enthusi-

astic,” he said. “Most people, what they’ve expressed to me, is that they don’t understand why there’s a controversy.” The ambitious Urban Square project will stretch the entire length of Clement Avenue between Ethel and Richter streets. Tebbutt bought the three-hectare site, which includes an existing 3,345-square-metre building, from BC Tree Fruits for an undisclosed price. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Lucky 6/49 ticket left in wallet for over a month A Kelowna accountant checked his Lotto 6/49 ticket as an after-thought Tuesday morning, noticing that he hadn’t bothered to check the numbers on the ticket since the March 22 draw. To his surprise, Steve Woloshyn discovered he had a winning ticket, which he had purchased at a Chevron gas station in Hope on his way home to Kelowna from Vancouver a month ago. “I was taking out money to buy milk at a corner store and noticed the ticket was in my wallet. I had forgotten about it. So I check to validate it and discovered it was a winning ticket,” Woloshyn said. “At that moment, I was more in shock than anything. I couldn’t believe it.” Woloshyn said he is not a regular lot-

tery ticket player, normally buying three or four tickets a year on a whim. “I guess I was lucky that I didn’t lose the ticket all that time it was in my wallet.” Woloshyn, 44, who is married with two children ages two and six, said he really hasn’t had a chance yet to let the fact he’s become an instant millionaire sink in, or what he will do with his winnings. “I guess discharging the mortgage to have that no longer hanging over your head would be one thing to do, but at the moment we’ll deposit the cheque and sit back and evaluate what to do next,” he said, noting that being an accountant will certainly offer him some insight in how to proceed. “A million dollars…it certainly enhances your life.”

Local MP wants murderer kept behind bars Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The fight to keep mass murderer David Ennis behind bars has earned some political clout. MP Dan Albas is supporting the petition aimed at stopping Ennis’s bid for freedom and reiterating his support for legislation that would keep serious felons ineligible for parole for a longer duration. Petitions will be at his local office, and the bill has already been introduced in Ottawa.

“There are always improvements that can be made to the (legal) system,” said Albas of Private Members’ Bill C-587, Wednesday. The Bill seeks to extend the parole eligibility period for those convicted of the abduction, heinous acts of sexual assault and murder of an individual from the current 25 years, up to a maximum of 40 years. If it passed, it would allow for judicial discretion, which its proponents say would ensure charter

compliance. Albas pointed out it’s stories like the slaying of the Johnson and Bentley families that inspired him to support the bill, and efforts from the community make a big difference to the people in Ottawa. “Since I was first elected, I would travel the riding, I would hear the story of the Johnson and Bentley families throughout,” he said. “It’s important that people bring up their cases with their MPs so people in parliament can

see the pain and suffering that are unintended consequences of how the system is put together.” Tammy Arishenkoff is leading the local charge against Ennis being released after his upcoming Sept. 4 hearing with the National Parole Board. Her latest round of efforts started little over a week ago and she’s already collected 2,380 signatures. In a recent interview, she pointed out that the fact that the family of the Johnson Bentley clan are

continually asked to deal with Ennis is a form of victimization. “We can’t heal because we will have to go in (September) and listen again to all of the details, to hear him talk about how he committed the crime,” she said. “They review everything from the beginning, everything involving this case has to be reviewed by the parole board.” She will be in attendance at the hearing.

in 2008, waived his right to a 2010 hearing and attended his 2012 hearing. At the last hearing, the National Parole Board said Ennis still had violent sexual fantasies, hadn’t completed sex offender treatment and was not ready for freedom. This September, Arishenkoff doesn’t expect

a significantly different response, but she’s not leaving anything to chance. In August 1982 three generations of the Johnson and Bentley families—George and Edith Bentley of Port Coquitlam, their daughter Jackie Johnson and her husband, Bob, of Westbank and their two daughters, Janet,

13, and Karen, 11,—gathered for a camping trip in Wells Gray Provincial Park. Janet caught Ennis’s eye, so he stalked the family for at least two days before going to the campsite and shooting the four adults, so that he could kidnap the two young girls. Over the better part of a week, Ennis kept the girls hostage and sexually assaulted Janet. He eventually took them into the woods, one at a time, and killed them. He loaded all the bodies into one of the family’s vehicles and torched it in a secluded area of the park. Their re-

Trunk Sale a chance to carry out some spring cleaning Looking to sell, trade or give away some of your unwanted or gently used stuff? Then you’ll want to take part in the latest Trunk Sale on Saturday, May 24, at Okanagan College. Organized by the regional waste reduction office, the Trunk Sale champions reuse and recycling, so less ends up in our landfill. Rae Stewart, the regional waste reduction facilitator, said: ‘This is your chance to do some spring cleaning, de-clutter and get your unwanted stuff into the hands of someone who can re-purpose it. The Trunk Sale is actually one massive garage sale in the parking lot of Okanagan College, with more than 150 mini garage sales in one place. It’s all about, reuse, and bargains galore.” Stewart says as the name suggests, Trunk Sale participants sell their items from the trunk of their car, van or back of a pickup. “Load up your vehicle with the goods you want to sell, bring a table with you if you need one, or just sell straight from the back of your vehicle,” she said. Stewart says the Trunk Sale has been extremely popular over the past few years and spots to sell your wares are snapped up quickly. “We take the first 150 or so registrants, and each year we have a wait list for those hoping to get in on sale day. The Trunk Sale is perfect for residents who can’t easily hold their own garage or yard sale, those that live in condos, apartments, or simply have no yard. But it’s not limited in that way, if you just want to show up and sell or trade your wares, you’re still welcome—but you need to pre-register before sale day.” The deadline to reserve a free spot is Wednesday May 21. To register, call 250-469-6250.

is the first in Asia and one of nine free trade agreements the government has signed in the last seven years as it moves forward with an aggressive trade agenda, and the first in Asia. For the wine industry, it should level the playing field for products previously under large tariffs, like ice wine, making it easier to compete with the United States and Europe—areas already signed to liberal trade agreements with the region. Meantime, it’s hoped this funding announcement will help improve the quality of B.C. wines, lower production costs and offer an eco-friendly spin wineries can use in marketing their product to its affluent target audience. “I think we all agree innovation is the hallmark to success for industry and it’s no exception within the Canadian grapes and wine industry,” said Cannan. The money will be used to support ongoing efforts to control disease, lift harvest yields, minimize water use and improve the overall environmental footprint of the industry, according to Mike

Watson, chairperson of the BCWGC. “We’ve created a certification program where we have parameters so wineries can go out and self-assess themselves on sustainability measures,” Watson said. The certification system focuses on the social, economic and environmentally responsible production a winery employs. B.C. is becoming a research node for this industry with scientists at the Wine Research Centre at UBC Vancouver, those on the university’s Okanagan campus and at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in Summerland all working on different aspects of grape growth. It’s a huge asset, according to winemaker Roger Wong, who crafts 26 products for Grey Monk, one of the wine industry pioneers in the valley. “We have about 50 acres on site right here at the winery, but we have grapes all the way from Vernon down to the border,” said Wong. “So were looking at irrigation issues. We have different soil types throughout the valley and different grapes styles…

“That’s the importance of local research,” he said. “It looks at the affects of our climate on our varieties in our geography.” The research this announcement will support includes: • a ground-cover vegetation study looking at beneficial crops to use in the vineyard to promote healthy vines and reduce pests, like cutworm • world-renown leafroll virus researcher José Ramón Urbez-Torres’s studies on the disease • research into grapevine trunk diseases, which have a severe economic impact in the Okanagan • bud hardiness studies and plant management practices that affect the bud hardiness of vines in winter • leaf removal and other canopy management techniques impacting the quality of the vine • research on spontaneous and natural fermentation from yeast existing in the vineyard. Some $2 million was dedicated to B.C.’s viticulture research under Growing Forward 1; the Growing Forward 2 program includes $3 billion for agricultural innovation.

Okanagan wetlands strategy has completed the first phase

Nelson Jatel al habitat for salmon, which we’re quite excited about in terms of its strategic value for the entire okanagan basin,” said Jatel. In general, wetlands located on private lands from Salmon Arm to the border have been identified as top priorities for protection. This will mean focusing the next phases of the strategy on including private property owners and highlighting some of the economic benefits these habitats offer a landowner. “I think there’s been some great studies done in the past that show if you live next to a wetland, your property value increases. It’s very close to having beachfront prop-

• wetland loss is one of

the leading causes for species becoming at risk in the Okanagan • 67 species at risk are supported by Cattail Marsh Ecosystems • nearly 85 per cent of low-level wetlands in this region have been lost and studies indicate we’re losing wetlands at a rate of 1.4 per cent annually • more than 80 per cent of wildlife use wetlands either directly or indirectly for their life, for general living, feeding and reproduction wetlands are critical to flood control, acting as a giant sponge.

The Central Okanagan has some of the better protections for wetlands in the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys, according to work done during the first phase of the Okanagan Wetlands Strategy. The strategy is a threephase collaborative effort to re-establish the importance of these ecosystems, which house phenomenal biodiversity, boost real estate values, offer flood mitigation and generally improve the livability of the valley for plants, animals and human beings. Drawing on input from a wide variety of stakeholders, researchers spent the last year inventorying wetlands in this region, where over 85 per cent have been lost to urbanization, agriculture and development. “When we looked at the Central Okanagan, we only had, within the regional district, I think 11 wetlands that were not identified and currently protected in some means by development permits—which is pretty good,” said Kyle Hawes of Ecoscapes Environmental Consulting, the researcher contracted to lead the study. The South Okanagan has been identified as the area where conservation and restoration efforts are badly needed, particularly along the border in the Osoyoos and Oliver area. Maps will be released to the public on the Okanagan Basin Waterboard website in May. The volume of wetlands still in need of the basic identification and protection an environmental development permit can offer is highest in the South Okanagan and the maps indicate there a few areas in a similar position in the North Okanagan as well. There are also critical biological reasons to focus on the south, according to Nelson Jatel, water stewardship director of the Okanagan Basin Waterboard. “Some of the meandering in Osoyoos is critic-

erty,” said Jatel. “Having wetlands and open spaces does two critical things for the economy,” he added. “One is that it can increase and improve property values, and maybe more importantly, it also provides for increased livability.” The first phase of the strategy’s development involved mapping all forms of government identification, encroachment and protection of wetlands— from forest tenures to grazing tenures, BC Conservation data on species occurrences to parks and protected areas. The next phase of the work will apply the information, gathering groups to work together, boots on the ground, on conservation and restoration efforts. Finally, a larger strategy to re-establish the need for wetlands and protect these areas, with clear prioritization based on the biological, hydrological and social significance of individual habitats, and potential threats, will be drafted.

The advisory affects about 55 properties connected to the community water system off Highway 33. Increased turbidity in the water system source has resulted in water quality that might impact children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. Roadside sign notices are in place to advise residents of the water quality advisory. “Interior Health has been contacted and while the health risk is modest and no bacteria have been found in any of the water from the system tested, regional district staff recommends as a precaution that Falcon Ridge water customers follow Interior Health guidelines, especially for those with weakened immune systems, the elderly, children and those wishing additional precautions,” said RDCO spokesperson Bruce Smith.

NEWS ▼ MMBC

Recycling plan incites challenge Jeff Nagel CONTRIBUTOR

Business opponents of Multi Material BC are planning a court challenge to reverse the takeover of B.C.’s curbside recycling system by the stewardship agency. They continue to urge the provincial government to freeze the new MMBC system before it takes effect May 19, but are also laying the groundwork for a legal battle. Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, is urging other businesses to sign and submit their MMBC contract but then give notice to the government that they won’t pay fees or otherwise cooperate with the new system to collect packaging and printed paper. McCulloch intends to gather opt-out letters from numerous businesses across B.C. and deliver them to the province. If the MMBC rollout continues, he said, they will argue in court that the MMBC contracts were invalid and they were coerced to join the government-created recycling monopoly. “We’re fairly confident at this point it will be struck down,” McCulloch said. “No company in their right mind would sign that contract of their own free will.” The province contends MMBC is voluntary and various industries could instead form their own separ-

ate waste-collecting organization. That option is not practical or reasonable, McCulloch said. “The suggestion that we are able to launch or own stewardship program independent of MMBC is a sham.” The MMBC program aims to transfer recycling costs from municipal taxpayers to the producers who generate packaging and printed paper, while collecting more containers and material types than before. But many businesses argue they’re unfairly compelled to pay far higher fees than a similar system run in Ontario. Critics say MMBC’s three-member interim board is controlled by executives with multinational firms like Unilever and Proctor and Gamble who have manipulated the launch of the new program to their benefit rather than the interests of most B.C. businesses. Questioned by the NDP last week, Environment Minister Mary Polak said she expects a more representative 15-member permanent board to be named soon after MMBC’s launch. Polak said it’s logical the biggest industries that pay the most into MMBC get a large role. A new advisory council was also recently unveiled by MMBC with reps from several B.C. business groups, but critics say it has no real power.

Pausing the program and the payment of fees by member businesses would cut off the money MMBC will send to most local cities that agreed to continue curbside pickup. “Any delay in implementation for those communities would mean a loss of that savings,” Polak said, adding many municipalities have already budgeted to receive promised MMBC payments. She said examples of those amounts are $1.5 million a year coming to Richmond and $917,000 to Nanaimo. Mike Klassen, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said he’s not aware of any cities reducing their property taxes as a result of the expected MMBC savings. “That’s one of the things that’s been most misleading—the idea that this was going to save money for the general taxpayer,” he said. Klassen argues consumers will pay twice—their local taxes won’t go down but they’ll also pay higher retail prices as businesses pass along the MMBC charges. He said most mayors and councils are being cautious and aren’t spending MMBC savings until they actually arrive—meaning there’s still opportunity to freeze the rollout. “That suggests to me they’re also very wary of the program and have a fallback program in case things don’t work,” Klassen said.

Marijuana documentary eyes TIFF premiere Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The interviews are wrapped up, the editing phase is in full swing and the much-anticipated marijuana documentary, The Culture High, is months away from hitting the big screen. Producer Adam Scorgie said his crew is working around the clock to finish the film in time to submit it to the Toronto International Film Festival. “We hope it premieres there,” said Scorgie. “It’s a bucket list for us…it would be the best market for us. TIFF has become one of the big-

gest film festivals in the world.” The Culture High is the sequel to Scorgie’s first marijuana documentary, The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. Scorgie said there has been a lot more pressure on him and director Brett Harvey this time around. “Me and the guys have fully signed off that we’re never doing another drug documentary after this. “We’re completely done; it’s too draining. There’s been times when literally both Brett and I have been in tears.” A Kickstarter campaign during the summer of 2012 raised more than

$240,000 for the film to be created. Scorgie said he has since borrowed more money from his family “to make the greatest film (they) can possibly make.” “The pressure is unbelievable on us…but I can confidently say I know this film will be something special.” The Culture High features interviews with Sir Richard Branson, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Joe Rogan as well as various university professors, undercover agents and medical professionals. Oliver Stone was lined up for an interview; however, he had to back out due to scheduling con-

flicts. If the film isn’t accepted into this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Scorgie said the plan is to put on several theatrical releases starting in October and bring in a panel of experts for question and answer sessions after the screenings. “Between what we’ve seen on Kickstarter and how big our social media (audience) has grown… we know it will do well theatrically, if we go to the right markets where the audience wants to see it.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Homelessness won’t just disappear

lthough we might want to wish it away, homelessness is here to stay, at least in the foreseeable future. In an ideal world things would be different, but homelessness is a problem the world over, not an issue that Greater Victoria has to deal with alone. Consequently, we were taken aback last week when it was announced that more than onethird of Victoria and Esquimalt residents queried in the recent Greater Victoria Coalition

to End Homelessness survey say they don’t believe that homelessness is an issue in their community. Their views were mirrored in other Capital Region municipalities. Sadly, it’s a mistaken perception. There were 1,659 people in Greater Victoria who made use of a shelter in 2012-13. As of March 2013, 1,477 were on the wait-list for B.C. Housing and 20,524 used a food bank in one month alone. Homelessness comes in

many forms, from those begging on downtown streets, to those a paycheque away from becoming homeless, right through to teens couching surfing in their friend’s apartment. As we’ve commented before, we can’t continue to bury our heads and hope the problem goes away. It won’t solve itself without some sort of intervention from government and other organizations. Obviously, there needs to be more public education on the

al aspect of Earth Day, here are some things you may not know about energy and the environment. • A recent National Geographic report Tom summarizes the main Fletcher sources of oil in the oceans around North America. Media coverage focuses on tanker and pipeline spills, but they only account for eight per cent of the total. Fully 60 per cent of the oil load in North American waters is from natural seeps, where oil leaks from seafloor rock. One of the world’s largest is off Santa Barbara, California, where

VICTORIA VIEWS

20 to 25 tons flows out each day. It’s mostly consumed by oil-eating bacteria that have adapted and proliferated. The next biggest source is leakage from cars and trucks, which collects on pavement and is flushed to sea when it rains. • Earth Day is now preceded by Earth Hour, during which we are encouraged to turn out our lights to join a world-wide gesture of conservation. Many people use the occasion for a candlelight dinner. Given that B.C.’s power is nearly all from renewable hydroelectric sources, and that the paraffin used to make candles is derived from petroleum or coal, this feel-good ritual produces an increase in greenhouse gas

emissions. David Suzuki is now promoting the idea of Earth Month, an expansion of the symbolic effort designed to “raise awareness.” This is a popular notion in the climate change industry, which to date consists mostly of government officials and activists flying around the world to conferences in exotic locations to sign agreements that lead to, well, not much so far. • Unlike Earth Hour, B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels actually appears to be helping to reduce emissions. An update to provincial data is due this year, but what we have shows a 5.7 per cent decrease in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases between 2007 and 2011.

C L

Environment ministers have conceded that some of this is due to the p recession that struck in 2008-09. But s since the economy has recovered and d begun to grow again, emissions have r continued to decline. c • There are simple things anyone n can do, without gimmicks or governI ment programs. One would be to stop t protesting increased housing density f in your community. a By far the largest source of greens house gas emissions in B.C., not to u mention old-fashioned pollution, is y transportation. By living closer to o where we work, shop and play, we h can exercise our legs instead of just b our gas pedal foot to get around. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Making a case for converting bitumen in B.C.

y name is David Black. I am the majority owner of Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. This is the first of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. I am a reasonably sensible and conservative businessman, not an alarmist. All of the information in this column can be confirmed from public sources. The oil industry wants to export Alberta bitumen to Asia via tankers. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years. Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does not float in sea water if there is sediment present. This has been proven many times, most recently in a thorough Environment Canada study published on Nov. 30, 2013. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abundance of sediment

David Black along the B.C. coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill. By Northern Gateway’s own admission the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent over the next 50 years. Others say that it is much higher. We are in agreement with the position taken by the Coastal First Nations that even the slightest risk of a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable. The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be, however, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude

and lost 250,000 barrels, one eighth of a tanker load. The light oil floated and could be removed from the beaches. Even so, after four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats involved, less than 10 per cent of it was recovered. Roughly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wildlife were killed. Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were affected and the fishery has yet to fully recover. Bitumen is very different. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bottom, making it unrecoverable and killing virtually everything with which it came in contact. Imagine if we lost a full tanker load. Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. They are wrong. Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape. As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents

are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about position. All ships carried systems to indicate their location before GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to determine their location but they didn’t, neither did the crew on the Queen of the North. Marine disasters regularly occur and a quick search of the Internet shows human error is most often the problem. Undoubtedly there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grandchildren will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the B.C. coast on our watch. Fortunately there is a solution that is beneficial for all concerned: All we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitumen to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often little or no spill remediation is required. These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruction of conventional or synthet-

ic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen. The second part of this OPED will run in the next issue of the Capital News. It will discuss the enormous value-added benefits and environmental advantages of a modern green refinery. The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered. Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C.

BIKES FOR SALE Vehicle always wins ‘interaction’ with cyclist QUALITY

USED

Adult & Childrens

To the editor: As the weather gets more spring-like, the conflicts between bikes and vehicles become more frequent. Recently, four of us were cycling down the steep Oyama Road hill when a truck and trailer came around the corner, and forced two of us off the road into the gravel. The driver clearly did not know his long trailer had not “followed” his truck around the corner, and had nearly crushed two of us.

COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com

We are experienced cyclists, and there was room for us to get off the road and move the foot or two over that we needed to get away from the fast-moving trailer. However, in many other circumstances the results could have been fatal for either or both of us. My plea to any driver, is to watch out for cyclists, and be respectful and care-

ful, as most of you are. Any ‘interaction’ between a car and a cyclist, has much more serious consequences for the cyclist than the vehicle. For those driving trucks and trailers, please make sure you know where your trailer is when you round a corner, especially if you are passing cyclists on a narrow steep road.

Fair Elections Act favours the incumbent Open letter to Ron Cannan, MP Kelowna– Lake Country: The content of your party’s (Progressive Conservative) recently introduced Fair Elections Act raises a number of concerns for the future of our nation’s democracy, and I am adding my voice to the growing number who feel it is nothing short of an attack on the very institutions it proclaims to uphold. For the sake of your constituents’ peace of mind, can you explain how you will support a bill which will:

• Disenfranchise thousands of legitimate voters, primarily the poor and elderly, through elimination of Voter Information Cards and the vouching process • Limit the independence and investigative powers of Elections Canada, in the midst the Conservative Party’s robocall and ‘in and out’ fiascoes • Allow incumbent parties the power to appoint polling supervisors • Eliminate spending caps on fundraising efforts focused on longterm party donors.

These changes and others seem to have the coincidental effect of benefiting incumbent parties, which would be anything but fair. Please heed the call of the numerous experts, and senators from within your own party, who have called for major overhaul or a scrapping of the bill in its entirety. Anything less would be an affront to the values which I hold to be at the core of our nation, and innocently hope will cut across party lines and political ambition.

Dylan Fraser,

Kelowna Garden Club kicks off season with great sale C alling all gardeners who want to feed their addiction to plants or wish to share some plants with others. The annual Kelowna Garden Club plant sale is happening this coming Saturday, April 26, at Guisachan Heritage Garden. On hand will be master gardeners who can help with the information on the plants you are interested in buying and members of the garden club will be there to tell

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett you all about this wonderful organization. The sale itself starts at 9 a.m. Gardening tools, containers, books and magazines will be included for sale as well as a wide variety of plant ma-

SOLUTIONS

now MonDAY To FRIDAY 7:30-4:30

VALVES

Continued from previous week – If the valve opens manually then the problem is most likely a failed solenoid or a wiring problem. First check the wire connections at the valve. If they look corroded remove the connectors and redo the connections. If this does not solve the problem unscrew the solenoid from the valve (after turning off the water), using a 9V battery you can hold one wire from the solenoid to one contact on the battery and the other wire to the second contact. You should hear a strong click and see the plunger move up and down when you apply power to the solenoid. If this does not happen, bring your solenoid on down to visit us and we will test to confirm it needs replacement. If the solenoid appears to be fine, then you need to check to see if you are getting power from the controller to the solenoid. You can use the solenoid that you just tested to check to see if there is power at the controller. Using the manual setting on the controller, turn on the station for the valve that is not functioning and touch one of the solenoid wires to the COM port on the controller and the other wire to the station port of the valve that is not functioning. If the solenoid activates then you most likely have a wiring issue. This will most likely involve digging in a new wire to the valve. If the problem is with the controller, you can move the wire to an unused station in the controller or replace the controller. If you have any other questions or problems with your irrigation drop in to see us with a picture of your problem and we would be more than happy to try to help you solve your problem.

terial. If you have something you would like to donate to the sale the organizers would appreciate receiving it on Friday evening from 5 to 7 p.m. or on Saturday morning from 7 a.m. on. If neither of these drop off times are suitable to you, then please call Alicja at 250-717-0570 to arrange to make arrangements. Also at the show for the enjoyment of the attendees will be an invasive plant display, a master gardener table, a container planting demonstration and a Xeriscape display. This perfect way to kick off the spring gar-

dening season just gets better every year. Good for you Kelowna Garden Club. I always try and donate something to the sale and this year it will be a flat of Kelsey Spanish onion seedlings. What a great time of year it is to take time and do a garden walk or drive or bike ride around the city or just the neighbourhood. Some of the exciting colourful plant material you will see include all the yellows such as forsythia, daffodils, euphorbia (cushion spurge) and of course the dandelions. The pinks and mauves of the magnolias, the

flowering plums, the red buds and the daphne stand out. The whites, including star magnolias, are magnificent as will be soon the bridal wreath spireas and mock orange. The blue hyacinths, glory of the snow, and Japanese iris are striking and the hot reds mainly in the tulip family round out the colour spectrum.

▼ FUNDING

The Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society is receiving $70,000 in proceeds from B.C.’s Civil Forfeiture Office to support the prevention of violence against women and provide victim services. The B.C. government also awarded $24,250 to the Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society (West Kelowna); and

Forfeitures turned over to support victim programs

some such as tomato will stay viable for years.

If you are like most gardeners you probably have a lot of old seed packs in your inventory that may or may not contain viable seed. Before taking a chance on planting questionable seed

you should do a germination test. Take a few seeds, I generally do five, and put them in a wet paper towel or Kleenex tissue in a saucer. Keep them at room temperature for a few days and monitor the results. If only a couple of seeds out of the five germinate I would say it is time to discard and them all and purchase new seed. Otherwise, at least you will have an idea of what to expect when sowing the seed. For best results store seed in sealed containers at room temperature; some seed such as onion does not keep well while

$20,200 to the Kelowna RCMP to establish a Domestic Violence Unit. The province is investing over $5 million of the Civil Forfeiture Office (CFO) proceeds to take further action on the Missing Women of Commission Inquiry (MWCI) recommendations and support the prevention of violence against women

and youth crime prevention initiatives. The funds will help meet four more of the MWCI recommendations and take further action on two others, including the evaluation of SisterWatch and funding to support the safety of vulnerable aboriginal women and girls as they transition from rural to urban community

For the last several months, Klassen has had to stay mum on the details of her MasterChef Canada experience. She said that wasn’t an easy task. “I have such a big mouth and it’s been really hard. But I’m so glad that I did because it’s just that much more exciting for

ers: positive, goal oriented university graduates with thoroughly Christian minds; growing disciples of Christ who glorify God through fulfilling the Great Commission, serving God and people in the various marketplaces of life.” While Christianity has come a long way, with discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation having been eliminated from many Christian faiths, not so with TWU. The school requires students and faculty to enter into a covenant that is discriminatory against those in same sex relationships. This discriminatory covenant is giving the lawyers of British Columbia pause for thought. Lawyers make up the Law Society of British Columbia. The LSBC gets to decide whether or not a law school will be approved as providing a legal education that will be recognized so as to allow its graduates to become lawyers. If the LSBC gives the TWU law school a “thumbs down,” its graduates will not be able to practice law in this province. On April 11, 2014, our lawyer representatives of the law society (called “benchers”) voted to give the TWU law school a “thumbs up.” There has been what you might call an uprising among the masses to call a special general meeting to allow a vote of all British Columbia lawyers on that issue. Provided enough signatures are collected to trigger the special general meeting, we will be able to have a full debate and then learn the views of the majority of the more than 11,000 lawyers in British Columbia. Should the majority of this province’s lawyers be able to dictate the religious beliefs of a Christian minority? Absolutely not. Lawyers swear an oath that includes the solemn commitment that we “…will uphold the rule of law and the rights and freedoms of all persons according to the laws of Canada and of the Province of British Columbia.” The rights and freedoms we have sworn to uphold include the freedom of religion, expression, assembly and association enshrined in

NEWS Hergott from A14 section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” Nothing the LSBC decides can impact on what is preached in churches and taught in private educational institutions. The issue is whether or not a legal education obtained in an openly discriminatory educational environment should be approved as qualifying a graduating law student to practice law. Will graduates of a program that openly discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation be suited to uphold the same oath that requires us lawyers to protect against such discrimination? The concern, as expressed by Jeremy Webber, the dean of law at the University of Victoria, is whether “…a program that bars validly married gay and lesbian people from its classes simply because of their sexual

orientation is an appropriate context in which to learn to be a lawyer.” Mr. Webber points out an analogy to racial discrimination, noting that “if the admissions policy of a proposed law school discriminated on the basis of race—even if that discrimination was based on religious belief—no law society in the country would accredit it.” Our society has evolved, finally, such that racial discrimination is repugnant to most of us. But our evolution with regard to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation has not yet caught up. I encourage you to push the lawyers you deal with to support the triggering of a special general meeting so the TWU law school application issue can be addressed by a fully informed majority of B.C. lawyers.

Three young musicians chosen for Canada Day concert The Kelowna Canada Day Concerts Society will introduce three young music soloists to local audiences on Canada Day. Mandy Jong, Jacob Bennett and Jaxon Jensen will perform July 1 as soloists for the free Canada Day Spectacular Concert at Prospera Place. The trio were selected after participating in the Young Artist Competition Auditions held in Kelowna on April 12 for solo performers at two levels—Junior Youth 14 and under and Senior Youth

from 15 to 21. Mandy Jong and Jacob Bennett were Both winners in the junior youth category. Jong beautifully performed the contemporary piano piece Scherzo by Canadian composer Oskar Morawetz while Bennett did an excellent job mastering the violin rhapsody Czardas by V. Monte. When asked how long he had been playing violin, 13-year-old Bennett replied: “Nine years.” Tenor Jaxon Jensen,

16, was winner in the Senior Youth category. He sang Mozart’s An Chloe in the original German, then went on to steal the show with a lively rendition of I Am Aldolpho from the musical The Drowsy Chaperone. Runner-up in the Senior Youth category was tenor Conagher Jones, 18, who performed the aria Ho Capito from Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni, along with another work from Conagher’s extensive repertoire. Both Jensen and Jones

are students of Alexandra Babbel and their voices have already been heard onstage in performance with Opera Kelowna. At this time, all four young musicians will be presented with scholarships from the Kelowna Canada Day Concerts Society. The Kelowna Canada Day Spectacular POPS Orchestra, under the dir-

ection of Maestro Leonard Camplin, will be celebrating its 20th year in 2014. The orchestra is comprised of professional, adult volunteer and student musicians. As a registered charity, the organization supports education and performance opportunities for musical achievement.

NEWS ▼ RON JAMES

Comedian brings roadshow to Kelowna

CONTRIBUTED

COMEDIAN Ron James will perform May 5 at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

For Canadian comedian Ron James, there is probably a connection between a perception of living his show business dream and the title of his cross-Canada tour this spring: Take No Prisoners. The latter is what comedians refer to as having a great show, saying they “killed” onstage. But as for living the show business dream, for comedians it becomes a seemingly endless journey at times, building a successful career with

what James says is a victory achieved in baby steps. He has built a show biz career that touches both performing on stage and working in television. “Each has its virtues and rewards but for sheer visceral pleasure and cathartic release, performing before a live house that’s got the ‘burners on high,’ is as close as you’ll get to flying without actually leaving (the ground). It’s the Life Force on full throttle,” James said in a recent interview with the

Ottawa Citizen. James was born in Glacy Bay, Nova Scotia, and in his youth moved to Halifax, followed by his enrolment at Acadia University where he studyied history and political science with the intention of becoming a history teacher. While attending university, his career ambitions took a different direction when he came under the influence of Helen Starr Boggs, who headed the local theatre program.

KAG launches series with Lavallee’s Man and Nature W innipeg-based painter Kenneth Lavallee blends personal memories with light-hearted but sincere nods to artists working in the mid-20th century to create paintings that are immediately appealing.

ON VIEW

CONTRIBUTED

KENNETH Lavallee’s Milky Way, 2014, (above) acrylic on canvas, triptych, overall size 48 x 108 in. (121.9 x 274.3 cm).

Liz Wylie His solo show at the Kelowna Art Gallery opened on April 12, and was organized by independent Winnipeg-based curator Jenny Western, at the invitation of the Kelowna Art Gallery. It launches our new One on One series of exhibitions, for which the gallery will commission an emerging Aboriginal curator to choose an emerging Aboriginal artist with whom s/he would like to work. The initiative is off to a roaring start as Lavallee’s new paintings created specifically for this exhibition attest. Western’s curatorial essay, the main feature of the KAG’s online publi-

Kenneth Lavallee’s The Bush, 2014, (left) acrylic on canvas, 48 x 72 in. (121.9 x 182.8 cm) cation for the show, is also excellent and sheds light on Lavallee’s thinking and artistic production. The artist’s acrylic-on-canvas works are extremely colourful, with flat, hard-edged organic shapes, each painted very smoothly and in a single, unmodulated colour. In their style the paintings hark back to the heyday of the second generation New York School painters, such as Kenneth Noland. They also make visual reference to the socalled Woodland School of painting, developed during the same time period (roughly the 1960s) by Canadian Native artists such as Alex Janvier.

Lavallee has mixed and selected his colours with care, and their inter-relationships are all very pleasing, if at times quirky. His sense of internal scale is unerring—that is the size of the elements in relation to the overall dimensions of each canvas—he has good instincts as a painter. The title of the show, devised by Lavallee and Western, Man and Nature, refers to the title of the former Manitoba Museum, and also to the theme of EXPO 67. As with the retro Mad Men television series, the patriarchal nature of the period is now experienced as part of its distinctive style.

‘‘

THE ARTIST’S ACRYLIC-ON-CANVAS WORKS ARE EXTREMELY COLOURFUL, WITH FLAT, HARD-EDGED ORGANIC SHAPES, EACH PAINTED VERY SMOOTHLY AND IN A SINGLE, UNMODULATED COLOUR. Liz Wylie

In an artist’s talk given with Jenny Western in a conversational format the night of the opening of the exhibition, Lavallee revealed the meaning or source of the imagery of each of the paintings. So, for example, the wild animals in The Bush are wolves, which he saw as a child, their steamy breath

unfurling out of their mouths in the cold air like white ribbons. In Milky Way, the view of trees with water behind is taken from his grandmother’s porch where he grew up in St Laurent, Manitoba. I take the trees to be aspens, therefore, and in the sky are bands of colour, first the orange glow

on the horizon of the city of Winnipeg at night, and in a pale green area extending above, a reference to the Northern Lights. In addition to his current solo exhibition, Lavallee was invited by the public program department of the Kelowna Art Gallery to work with a group of local Aboriginal teenagers to create a collaborative mural in the Gallery’s Scotiabank Studio space (indoors). This mural was completed the weekend of the opening of the exhibition and will be in place until the end of June. Each participant in the mural chose an animal that is related to one of the

seven traditional teachings, and then depicted it in a communally painted landscape setting that they devised as an ensemble. Both the mural and the solo show are worth a look as they each give insights into a young artist’s take and personal interpretation of first-hand experiences along with cultural symbols. One on One: Man and Nature, with Jenny Western and Kenneth Lavellee, runs at the Kelowna Art Gallery until June 29. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. 250-762-2226 http://kelownaartgallery.com

Not even hotsy-totsy Shakira can topple Frozen from No. 1

SHAKIRA: (RCA/SONY)

The Frozen soundtrack is living up to its name as it has crystalized at the top of the charts in the USA where it remains the No.1 selling album after 20 weeks. There have been a few challengers to the Frozen crown and that includes this new self-titled CD from Shakira. Her

Bruce Mitchell disc has since fallen a bit but remains in the top 10 thanks to her hyper sexualized video Can’t Remember To Forget You

with Rihanna. On screen the gals gyrate atop a bed and various other settings in lingerie like a couple of sonsy, callipygous, lolloping hoydens—as in “sex sells”. But it is important to note that this new album is an eponymous one where Shakira has a new beginning having signed with RCA/Sony and left her former label.

10% Senior Discount Everyday!

Shakira has also gained some added notoriety in North America as a coach/host, or whatever the job description is, with The Voice which has put her front and centre to western reality TV pop culture. So, this time out Shakira has aimed her music almost strictly at an English-speaking American audience with varied but always pop radio friend-

ly songs. Shakira is from Colombia which borders on the north coast to the Caribbean seas and influences can be heard on the pop reggae of Cut Me Deep, the dub accents of You Don’t Care About Me (co-written by Canada’s Chantal Kreviazuk) and the ska rhythms of her big hit with Rihanna.

ENTERTAINMENT Mitchell from A20 There are a few folkstyled ballads here as well the inevitable dance poppers but overall this new album fails to enthral, let alone entertain. At the end I was left somewhat bored and I think the problem is in the lyrics and topics. Shakira is now 37 years old and with a

newborn child, yet she comes across here as the melodramatic teen queen amped up on histrionic love songs well beneath her years. I mean, check out her omnipresent Crest toothpaste commercials on TV where she has been photo shopped and airbrushed to look like a person half her age. Meanwhile the

best songs here are in her native tongue with the ska-pop of Nunca Me Acuerdo De Olivarte and the pretty, gentle Loca Por Ti. C+

track fixation at the top spot of the charts. However, after making its debut in the top five in Canada and the USA, Supermodel has taken a huge nosedive out of even the top 40 with no big hit to bolster sales like the debut had with the smash Pumped Up Kicks back in 2011. I remember noting

FOSTER THE PEOPLE: SUPERMODEL (RCA) Like Shakira, Foster The People also took a run at the Frozen sound-

when covering Mark Foster and his trio Foster The People’s debut, titled Torched, that the lone hit was strictly a solo recording by Mr. Foster without the help of his band mates and they don’t seem to be helping him out on Supermodel either. Foster recorded this

‘MIRACLE MOLECULE’ SUPERCHARGES CIRCULATION, PROMISING BETTER BLOOD FLOW, BLOOD PRESSURE AND INCREASED MENTAL CLARITY & STAMINA! Are you concerned with high blood pressure or cholesterol, a lack of stamina and energy, a dip in libido and physical performance,or the increase of “senior moments?” The answer to living without these health concerns has been discovered in what scientists are calling the most important health breakthrough of our time. The discovery starts with nitric oxide (N-O)! OVER 40 LOSING CRUCIAL RESERVES N-O is a natural substance produced by the body that has amazing effects on health and circulation. The American Heart Association published one of many studies showing that many people over 40 don’t produce enough N-O. In fact, your body produces less than half of what it did at 20. NOBEL PRIZE WINNING DISCOVERY Three researchers received the prestigious Nobel Prize for this discovery. One of the winners says, “There may be no disease process where this miracle molecule does not have a protective role”.

with energy levels, blood pressure, cholesterol, joint discomfort, and assisted in strengthening the immune system. 90-SECOND CIRCULATION BOOSTER Based on the research of Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, PhD, who lectures to doctors around the world about Nitric Oxide, Neogenis® Labs has created a revolutionary lozenge, called Neo 40 daily, that makes it easy to restore N-O levels. This “fast-dissolve” lozenge restores your N-O to youthful levels by dissolving within 90 seconds and begins to work immediately, which leads to better circulation, for many in as little as 20 minutes. BETTER CIRCULATION TO WHOLE BODY Better circulation helps increase stamina, maximizes metabolism, helps manage stress and maintains healthy sexual function. Healthy N-O levels also promote better blood pressure and cholesterol as a result of improved circulation to all major organs.

SURPRISE BENEFITS FOR MEN & WOMEN “Adequate amounts of Nitric Oxide insure sufficient amounts of blood to flow to the extremities, especially the penis, resulting in an erection. The same applies to women; without proper blood flow to the clitoris, GOOD NEWS FOR BOOMERS! Researchers reported that N-O helps orgasms are difficult,” says Dr. Bryan.

Dark = Low Blood Flow

Light = Increased Blood Flow

Actual Thermographic Image of Hand shows circulation in hands before and after taking Neo 40 daily. On the Left, the fingertips are almost black showing little blood flow. On the Right, lighter colored fingers show increased blood flow after only 20 minutes.

A boost in Nitric Oxide levels may equal increased sexual sensitivity for men and women. Tammy from Ontario said, “The first night after my first dose I had improved circulation in my hands. I find the increased circulation is a definite benefit in the bedroom.” “We noticed a difference in my husband’s erections within a week. We can’t believe how well it works,” reports pleased wife Marion S., of New York. NATURAL RESULTS YOU CAN FEEL Lee L., from CA was stunned with her results. “I have had knee, leg and shoulder problems for over 10 years. The pain has deprived me of sleep for months! Ronald D. TX explains, “The results were noticeable overnight. I had more energy and was able to focus more readily.”

• Reduce triglyceride levels (27% average in 30 days) • Support healthy blood pressure • Support cardiovascular and heart health

BEET & BERRY COMBO BOOSTS N-O Neo 40 daily proprietary combination of N-O boosting nutrients: amino acids, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, and Magnesium are specially formulated with the patent pending combination of red beet and hawthorn berry. The natural chemistry between them generates Nitric Oxide when dissolved in the mouth. The result is increased oxygen delivery, improved vascular function, enhanced sexual enjoyment, and protection against free radicals. BOOST BLOOD FLOW & OXYGEN STARTING IN 20 MINUTES! “I recommend this lozenge because it helps the body restore N-O, which leads to healthy circulation; for most in as little as 20 minutes,” affirms Dr. Bryan. The result is increased oxygen delivery, heightened immune function, improved vascular function, and enhanced sexual enjoyment

Mitchell from A21 new album with the help of ace producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Bruno Mars) and they flesh out these rather characterless and pedestrian songs with lots of soft focus psychedelics and billowy synths that makes for an unfocused listen. The two minor (very minor) hits include the overly busy and spacey Coming Of Age as well as the slightly better dance rock of Best Friend that might appeal to the alt EDM community. This is an unspectacular sophomore album where Foster The People are well on their way to becoming one hit wonders meaning there is an unlikely supermodel in Mr. Foster’s future. Fans only.

Borrett wins her age group at Boston Marathon Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Liz Borrett’s primary goal for the 2014 Boston Marathon was simply to cross the finish line. The 75-year-old Kelowna woman did better than that on Monday, taking first place in the women’s 75 to 79 age group in four hours 22 minutes 35 seconds. “I wasn’t as strong or quite as prepared as last year, but I still did pretty well, so I’m quite happy,” said Borrett, who began running 12 years ago. “I’m just fortunate to still be able to run at this stage of my life.” Last year, in her first

Boston Marathon, Borrett had the race of a lifetime, finishing in just a little over four hours, good enough for second place in the 70 to 74 age division. But as was the case for all other competitors, the 2013 race was overshadowed by the bombings which killed three people and injured 260 others. At this year’s race, Borrett said the atmosphere was second to none, as Bostonians and visitors alike came together to remember the events of a year ago and to celebrate and support the accomplishments of others. “I saw everyone being

so inclusive of the other runners, there was more support, more interaction than before, and you just felt you were part of something very special,” she said. “There were over a million spectators, the cheering was so loud if you wanted to listen to music, you never would have heard it. It was really energizing to be in the middle of that. “I was fortunate to be able to run in it again,” she added, “the tragedy that happened last year was even more of a reason to support the event.” And Borrett’s running season is far from over. She plans to run in four half marathons, before

Results for other Kelowna and area runners were: Randall Myung, 51, finished in 3:34:16 and was 86th in his age division; Keith Parks, 53, 3:36:49; Jodi Cochrane, 39, 3:40: 27; Stacie Carrigan, 32, 3:41:12; Jeanne Parker, 50, 3:46:38; Jerry E.

Two Kelowna Rockets will be among the finalists when the Western Hockey League hands out its annual awards next Wednesday in Calgary.

Provincial silver for curling club team

After a solid week of curling, Kelowna’s Dave Mellof rink settled for second best at the Dominion B.C. Provincial Club Curling Championship last weekend at the Richmond Curling Club. The Kelowna team, also featuring Neil Curysons (third), Keith Anddersen (second) and lead Mark Thomsen, compiled ea 6-1 record in the round trobin to advance straight -to the final against the ,Lower Mainland champs rfrom Langley. 1

In the final, both skips were cautious in the first half of the game trying to figure out the extremely keen ice and the game was tied 2-2 after five ends. The sixth end showed a lot of promise for the Kelowna team with a great chance to steal a deuce but the Langley skip made a great chip shot on his first rock and ended up with the single and the 3-2 lead. Team Mellof forced the issue in the seventh end and looked like they

would have at least a deuce but, once again, the Langley skip made a nice angle chip shot to lie shot rock which was half buried behind a wall of rocks. Team Kelowna wasn’t able to remove it and gave up a steal in the seventh and Team Langley was able to hold on for the victory. The Langley team now moves on to the Dominion National Club Championship in Halifax, Nova Scotia this winter.

Disability tax credit offers additional tax benefit for seniors

he disability tax credit is a non-refundable tax credit used to reduce income tax payable on your return. It functions much like the basic tax credit in that it will reduce the income tax payable on your return to zero, but if there is any excess, it will not be refunded to you. However, you can transfer the excess to your spouse, common-law partner or another supporting person. This tax credit should not be confused with the disability supplement that is available from the Canada Pension Plan. Normally, if you qualified for the Canada Pension supplement, then you should also qualify for this tax credit. How do you know if you qualify for the credit? In order to apply for the credit, you need to have some sort of impairment in physical or mental functions that is severe and prolonged which means that it is expected to last for at least 12 continuous months. The Canada Revenue Agency defines two cri-

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka teria. One is ‘markedly restricted’ which is defined as when you are unable (or if it takes you an incredible amount of time) to perform one or more of the basic activities of daily living such as speaking, hearing (even with a hearing aid), walking, feeding, dressing, mental functions necessary for daily life, elimination, or are blind even with corrective procedures. The second criteria is ‘significantly restricted’ which means that although you can still perform daily living functions, you are still substantially restricted. Another criteria, if it applies, is whether or not you receive life sustaining therapy. Life sustaining therapy must meet two conditions. The first is that

you require it to support life even if it alleviates the symptoms. Some examples are chest physiotherapy for breathing or kidney dialysis. The second condition is that you must dedicate time for this therapy that must be at least three times a week for an average of 14 hours a week which does not include recuperation or travel time. This time must be outside of your regular activity. After 2005, the definition was changed to include a regular dosage of medication for a child that would need to be adjusted on a daily basis whereby the activities related to determining the dosage are considered to be part of the therapy. Examples would be monitoring blood glucose levels, preparing and administering the insulin, calibrating the necessary equipment and maintaining a log book. If the child is unable to perform the therapy because of his or her age, the time spent by primary

caregivers performing or supervising the activities related to the therapy is considered to be time dedicated to the therapy. What is not included are implanted devices such as a pacemaker, or a special diet and exercise program or carbohydrate calculation. In order to qualify, you need to be ‘markedly restricted’ in one of the items listed as the basic activities of daily living, or you need to be ‘significantly restricted’ in two or more of the items listed as the basic activities of daily living. The process is to obtain a copy of form T2201 from the Canada Revenue Agency or from your accountant. This form is nine pages long. You need to fill out the first page and then take the form to your doctor who will fill out the relevant sections and certify the form on the last page.

Don’t forget to sign the first page. Then the form needs to be sent to the nearest tax centre. The Canada Revenue Agency will review the form and within three weeks to three months, will send out a letter that will disclose the results of the review and if you qualified for the credit, how many years and which years you may deduct the credit for. At this point, you can bring the letter into your accountant who will perform the necessary adjustments to any past tax returns filed, if applicable. The doctor that signs the form must be a ‘qualified practitioner’ which is defined as a medical doctor, optometrist, audiologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist and speech-language pathologist. The medical doctor is the only one who can cer-

This week’s column is dedicated to Don (Ronald) Phelps, one of the first solicitors I met in Kelowna back in 1971 when I was working for Scotiabank. He had great sports ability. I witnessed many racquetball and squash games that he won with ease and always enjoyed our chats. Personal condolences to Dorothy, his family and many friends.

BIG NEWS!

Survey reveals measured sense of optimism The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce partnered with MNP LLP to survey Chamber members about their business performance, business confidence and specific factors related to doing business in the city.

Some of the survey results indicated: • 60% of respondents have been affected by the economic situation by a slow down in business, lower sales, consumers have less money to spend • 48% of respondents believe that Kelowna’s economy has not recovered from the recession.

Wanda and Dan Truong are the long-time owner/operators of Mekong Restaurant, 1030 Harvey Ave., in Kelowna. Wanda is launching her newly published book, Second Chance in Can-

ada, at the restaurant Sunday, April 27, from noon to 4 p.m. Her book began as a learning project to upgrade her English. But instead of writing a textbook to learn the structure of English, her life stories took on a different direction for the book. Learning is Wanda’s passion, but three years ago she

never imagined she would be publishing a book for the public to read. But her English teacher and family friends kept telling her the stories about her life were wonderful and should be shared with others beyond her own family. So, she has subsequently written a wonderful book to tell us how to understand why the Vietnamese were called “boat people” and how they risked their lives for the chance at better life in another country. Wanda and Dan met on one of those boats. She is proud to share how hard they worked and how they sacrificed to feed their family, striving to create work for everyone in the family. All proceeds of the book are going to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association. Downtown After 5 is April 30 at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, 5 to 7 p.m. Wine will be provided by Calona Wines, beer from Big Surf Beer and appies from RCA Bistro. Wadaiko Tokara pre-

sents Kazakoshi for their 10th anniversary World Tour at the Kelowna Community Theatre on May 2, 7:30 p.m. Kazakoshi is Wadaiko Tokara’s newest production currently touring 15 countries throughout the world for two years. It celebrates both Wadaiko artist Art Lee’s 20th anniversary in 2013 and Wadaiko Tokara’s 10th anniversary in 2014. Not simply a taiko performance, Kazakoshi is an expression of the powerfully flowing, yet jazzy style of performance for which Tokaro has become known. Lee, the Kazakoshi artistic director, is considered one of the leading Taiko artists of his generation.

Last week I wrote about Meena Cleland’s new cookbook, Indian Inspired Cuisine. I prepared the green bean and red pepper vegetable dish

for Easter and it was a great hit, certainly a recipe keeper. It was my first time at the Indian Food Market on Dougall Road in Rutland where I purchased some of the ingredients. They sure had a lot of great products. The recipe was easy to follow and easy to make. The next recipe I am going to try is the Aloo Gobi which is a cauliflower and potato vegetable dish. www.meenasindiancuisine.com Birthdays of the week: Happy 50th Alana Francis, Canadian Cancer Society (April 24); Jim Stuart (April 23); Myrna Telford (April 25); Alan Dolman (April 25); Frieda Perrot (April 27); Carol Glenn (April 27); Chuck Dixon (April 27); Ron Labossiere, lawyer (April 28); Lilly Legatto (April 29); Phillippe Leger (April 29); Jim Hedman (April 29); Dave McLean (April 29); John McCormack (April 30); in memory of Peter Dick (April 26). maxdehart@telus.net

Her own restaurant next up for Klassen Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Although Kaila Klassen didn’t win the inaugural MasterChef Canada competition, she’s not walking away from the kitchen. The show’s judges— Claudio Aprile, Michael Bonacini and Alvin Leung—eliminated Klassen from the competition on the 14th episode of the series last Monday. The West Kelowna real estate agent said she was “a little bit disappointed” she didn’t win, but was proud of her third place finish. The experience has inspired her to open up her own Lawrence Avenue restaurant: Krafty Kitchen and Bar. “We’re doing happily shared food…we want to make sure that the food is at a fine-dining level, but portrayed in a more casual atmosphere,” said Klassen. “It will really be for everyone.” Although Klassen’s

But later in the show, Klassen’s seared scallops with duck confit potatoes and pickled cucumber wasn’t enough to get her through the elimination challenge. For the last several months, Klassen has had to stay mum on the details of her MasterChef Canada experience. She said that wasn’t an easy task. “I have such a big mouth and it’s been really hard. But I’m so glad that I did because it’s just that much more exciting for my friends and family.” She added she has taken a lot away from her reality TV series debut. “I think the biggest thing I learned is…it’s very important to listen to your instincts and listen to your gut.”

Last time when they were going before and after school, it amounted to two hours a day they had to cut out of their day, and that’s quite a big percentage to take from people.” BCTF president Jim

Iker had a different take on the inconvenience the job action would cause families of school children and district staff. Calling the measure unnecessary and inappropriate, Iker said principals, vice-principals, and excluded staff are more than capable of supervising the playground for 15 minutes each day. He said supervision was one of the issues addressed at the Labour Relations Board between the BC Public School Em-

WEST KELOWNA ▼ 1.06 PER CENT GROWTH

Population growth rate lowest since the district incorporated

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

Fewer people than expected are moving to West Kelowna. Tanya Garost, general manager of finance and

corporate services, spoke at the district’s Tuesday evening council meeting. She told council assessment growth is lower than the originally projected 1.25 per cent. “We budgeted (for)

one per cent, and our final (growth) actually came in at 1.06 per cent,” said Garost. “That’s the lowest growth that the district has seen since incorporation.” The 1.06 per cent

Teachers to continue volunteer activities

Grizzli Winery reps to speak at LHCA AGM

“Teachers’ Stage 1 job action is administrative in nature only. Any recess cancellations fall squarely on the shoulders of school districts unwilling to move their staff around.” Furthermore, he said, teachers will continue to do previously scheduled voluntary activities. As such, according to Iker, there is no reason for any districts to cancel events, trips, or extra-curricular activities.

Developers of the Westside Wine Trail’s newest winery will reveal their plans at the Lakeview Heights Community Association’s upcoming 2014 annual general meeting. Grizzli Winery will be developed on the former apple orchard at the northwest corner of Boucherie Road and Hudson Road. The featured speakers will be John Chang and Allison Lu, president

and director, representing Lulu Island Winery in Richmond, home base for the owner/developer. Chang and Lu will make an illustrated presentation, which will be followed by a question and answer session. The AGM will be held at the Lakeview Heights Community Hall on Anders Road Sunday, May 4 at 2 p.m., with the official order of business being the election of the officers

TIME FOR A

UBCO researchers partner with Peachland developer Taking the lab out of the classroom is becoming commonplace at UBC Okanagan as academics strive to apply what they know to the real world. For researchers with UBCO’s Sustainability Institute and the School of Engineering, one current research lab is a sloping hillside in the northern part of Peachland. The 125-acre parcel is the proposed site of New Monaco, a multi-use urban development that will eventually see a fully sustainable community of more than 5,000 residents, commercial businesses and light industry. “We have created a regional innovation system that uses the Okanagan as a living lab for exploration of new ways of doing things together,” said Keith Culver, director of UBCO’s Sustainability Institute. “And there’s mutual learning about how to

apply research principles to solve real problems. We’re not afraid to be ambitious—problem-solving in the Okanagan can be globally relevant if done well.” Researchers at UBCO have received a threeyear, $125,000 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council grant that allows a group of graduate students from the School of Engineering to look at several aspects of sustainable development. Engineering professor Rehan Sadiq said the students are working on projects including sustainable water and electricity supplies, wastewater containment and recycling, and transit. “Research to transform sustainability principles into planning practices is complex and challenging,” said Sadiq. “Sustainability on a neighbourhood scale re-

quires a holistic and integrative approach to balancing flows of water, energy, material and finance.” New Monaco, adopted into Peachland’s Official Community Plan in 2011, will be a community with mixed housing, commercial and artisan light-industrial zoning with a projected 5,000 residents. It could double the population of Peachland, creating new employment opportunities for the area. District of Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding said the collaboration between the district and New Monaco is a good example of how communities and developers can plan for the future. “The developers and district staff have a very effective working relationship,” Fielding said. “It exemplifies best practices with respect to community consultation

and the quest to ensure healthy and sustainable outcomes.” Mark Holland, New Monaco’s VP Development and board director for the Urban Development Institute, said this project demonstrates the immense potential of strategic economic development in the Okanagan. “We have a worldclass university, a local government, a utility, a major developer, engineers and innovative researchers working together on a real community to drive market-ready innovation,” said Holland. Culver noted the research will be valuable for decades to come as the goal is to provide results to all communities dealing with issues such as growth and sustainability.

Ask the Q A

It was a happy Easter Weekend Classic for the host Okanagan College Coyotes, who won four of five games to grab a share of second spot in the Canadian College Baseball Conference (CCBC). After a split on Friday and a victory on Saturday at Elks Stadium, the Yotes beat the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs 3-0 and the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack 6-2 on Monday to cap off a solid weekend of baseball on their home turf. “We had great pitching over the weekend and some timely hits which led to a successful weekend,” said Coyotes’ coach Geoff White. “We have be playing better baseball, we still need to increase the quality of our at bats as an entire group though. The remaining two conference weekends will be a good test leading into Championships.”

In the first game on Monday against the Dawgs, starter Marcus Drewry threw a complete-game shutout, scattering three hits and fanning three for his third win of the spring. The offense scored twice in the first on a Brandon Graham triple, scoring Derek Shedden and Garrett Wiese. It was Graham’s first triple and 13th RBI of the season. The bats on both sides were quiet until the sixth when the Coyotes scored an insurance run as the double steal worked to perfection. Sam Visona swiped second as Tyler Pentland stole home.

In the second game on Monday the Coyotes saw yet another gem thrown by their starting pitcher. Tanner Collins recorded his second win of the spring allowing two runs on five hits and struck out seven in a 6-2 win over the Wolfpack. The two clubs traded a pair of runs in the first inning. After that Collins shut the door. The Coyotes scored what turned out to be the game winning run in the third, then scored three more in the fifth. Graham again knocked in two runs for his 15th RBI of the season, while Wiese collected two hits and an RBI. The Coyotes (11-9) are tied for second in the CCBC and will travel to Calgary this weekend for a game against the Dinos and a pair against the Wolfpack.

EXPERTS

A’s back home to host Langley The Okanagan Athletics will return to Elks Stadium this weekend for four games against the Langley Blaze in B.C. Premier Baseball League action. Saturday’s doubleheader will start at 2 p.m., with Sunday’s action to start at 11 a.m. The A’s are 4-2 early in the season, after a split of two games last weekend in Abbotsford. In Game 1 Sunday, Trevor Lofstrom and Matt Brodt combined on a fivehit shutout as Okanagan edged the hometown Cardinals 1-0. Alex Russell scored the game’s lone run in the fourth inning. In Game 2, the Cardinals scored all their runs in the top of the seventh in a 4-2 win over Okanagan. Thomas Sloan and Chase Decosse had the RBIs for the A’s.

JUNIOR A’S…

The Okanagan junior Athletics opened the BCJPBL regular season

Certified Natural Health Care Consultant Whole Body Vibration Specialist

DHHP, DMH, DynBC Doctor of Medical Heilkunst & Homeopathy

All of Life comes to me with Ease & Joy & Glory!®

I have been working out and watching my diet, and can’t seem to get the weight off, any suggestions?

This is a very common question and a simple solution in most cases. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) stimulates the lymphatic system which connects to every organ in the body to purify and strengthen the body. This system works via the pumping action by movements from WBV which removes excess fluid from the body tissues, absorbs fatty acids, transports fat to the circulation system for elimination, speeds digestion, loosens waste, and metabolizes and flush toxins from the entire body. When the body is stressed aphysically and mentally, it wants to hold onto the fat and fluids thus no weight loss, this is where the lymphatic comes in, to help the body get rid of issues which will hold onto the weight, and you will feel less stress. The other issue is, we rely on what the scale says, but remember when you are toning and tightening you are loosing inches and and gaining muscle, more muscle increases calorie burning. Only judge your results by how your clothes are fitting and how much better you feel. You can burn the same amount of calories in 10 mins. on WBV than you would with regular exercising. To help with weight on the WBV there are simple exercises you can do to create better results, ask any athlete that uses WBV. Jan. is the month everyone wants to get into shape, we have monthly packages available to come and try the machines starting the first week in Jan. If you are a YMCA member, try our machines there, and see how this will work for you. The results will vary depending on your diet, exercise and please consult your Dr. if you have any chronic conditions before using. Please call to set up appointments for packages, free try outs or any questions.

Q A

Dynamic Live & Layered Blood Analysis

What can Live and Layered Blood Analysis tell me about my health?

Live and Layered Blood Analysis is a qualitative look at your blood, both while its still alive and after its been allowed to dry, under a microscope. It’s a sensitive form of testing that can pick up slight disturbances in the functioning of the body before they become serious issues. For example, you can detect if organs such as your liver or kidneys are stressed. You are able to see how your digestive system is functioning, and if you have difficulty digesting protein, or are you getting enough, or too much? Are you absorbing your nutrients efficiently? Are you dehydrated? How much toxicity is in the bowels? Do you have a Candida overgrowth or parasites? And this is just the beginning! Layered blood analysis is also called the oxidative stress test, and we are able to detect how much inflammation or degeneration is occurring in the body, plus so much more. They are great tools to see where you are at with regards to your health, and how to begin improving it, or to start taking preventative measures. You are able to find out what is right for you as an individual, and helps to take the guesswork out of what you can be doing to improve your health.

Owner | Owner/President

We recently downsized and we don’t have a lot of storage in our current home. We plan to renovate and want to maximize our storage space everywhere what would you suggest?

That is a very relevant question with a lot of folks downsizing these days with all their children leaving the nest for good. We recently were inspired by a visit to two of my mom and dad’s good friends who lives in Yuma beside them for half the year and Kelowna the rest of the time. They downsized from a large home and did an amazing job renovating their much smaller home which is about 35 years old. Based upon the recent visit and our philosophy of space, we offer the following suggestions; use as many drawers and or pullouts in your kitchen as possible, drawers are more expensive for a reason, they really “Max out” your space and are very efficient. Built-ins for linen closets and even front entry closets are fantastic just fit them right into where the “closet” is. Make sure to include a combination of drawers and cupboards for the linen closet with drawers on the bottom for entry hall closets (for shoes, gloves, scarfs, hats etc…and the hanging bar above for your coats and jackets. Just measure your jackets to see the length you need for the space (or hire us to do all that work). Your long coats will have to fit in your bedroom closet, Get rid of the sliding doors which limit your access and get a Pantry style door for your front hall closet or any other closet if you have the room to open them freely, pocket doors are also a great use of space. Same thing in the bathroom, use as many drawers as you can, sink in a wall cabinet into the wall between the studs (so that it is flush with the wall) for space for all your small bottles. If you are renovating your bath/shower, install a “shampoo box” right into the studs that will hold your shower/bath items neatly and out of the way so that you don’t have to have a “shower caddy”. Garages are also a great place for storage as are laundry rooms; we will cover that next time!

Q A

How to have more ease with your body? If you would like more ease with your body, there is one simple element that will make that a whole lot easier for you! Being kind to yourself. So, what is being kind to you and your body?

Do you ever judge yourself or your body? Do you decide in advance what and when you should eat, how you should exercise or what you should wear? All of these are an unkindness. How much have you kicked and abused your body? Or at least forced a whole lot of things on your body that it didn’t really want… with food and exercise only as a start! So when it comes to food, exercise, sex and everything else to do with your body, would you be willing to ask your body what it would like? So, questions like “Body are you hungry?” What would you like to eat? And have you had enough to eat?” might be a good way to start a conversation. Allow yourself to perceive the lightness (true) or heaviness (lie). You may not get a clear answer at first but I guarantee that this will start to create more awareness of what your body desires.
