New cop shop rezoning process now underway Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna city hall has started the rezoning process for the land on Clement Avenue where its wants to build a new $48 million police services building. The new building, which will require the borrowing of $43 million of the total cost, is to become the city’s new RCMP detachment, replacing the cramped, aging quarters in the the current detachment building on Doyle Avenue. The building is to be a design-built project, with a contractor expected to be found following a request for proposals this summer. Construction would start early next year, with completion expected by 2017. While the final design has yet to be determined by the winning design-built applicant, the city says it expects the building to be approximately 8,361-square metres in size and either two or three stories tall. The new building will be located on Clement Avenue between Richter Street and St. Paul Street, with its main entrance at the corner of Clement and Richter. City staff said Monday, they are expecting applications for the proposed Urban Square development, which has been talked about as a potential future home of the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market just to the east, and another application for a proposed brewery to the east of the Urban Square site. The proposed Official Community Plan change and rezoning to allow the police services building to be built received first reading at Monday’s council meeting and will go to a public hearing. The city used the controversial alternate approval process to win public support to borrow the money needed for the building. The process lets the city announce it will borrow the money and leaves it up to the pubic to oppose the move. Ten per cent of city voters had just 30 to register their opposition. Following the deadline last month, official public opposition to the borrowing was just a fraction of the amount required to force the city to reconsider or hold a public vote on the borrowing. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

KELOWNA blues man Sherman Doucette shakes the hand of Nick Perry, a young man injured working one of first jobs, at the National Day of Mourning memorial for workers killed and injured on the job. Doucette nearly died in a sawmill explosion in his early 20s.

Don’t take worksite safety for granted Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Local blues man Sherman Doucette can boast 700 harmonicas in his personal collection and a career playing with legends like John Lee Hooker and Jim Byrnes on the Vancouver music scene. Yet it was a workplace accident that really
earned him his stripes in the genre. “All the pain I went through was nothing compared to the pain I put my mother through and how I watched her age in front of my eyes,” he told a crowd of 50 gathered for the National Day of Mourning memorial held at Ben Lee Park in Kelowna on Monday.
The event is put on by the WorkSafeBC, the Business Council of British Columbia and the BC Federation of Labour to draw attention to the importance of workplace safety. In 2013, some 128 workers died on the job in this province—22 in motor vehicle accidents, 39 from traumatic injuries

COSAR finds lost
hikers in park
Central Okanagan Search and Rescue were called out Saturday at 8 p.m. to rescue two camping hikers who ran into trouble in Okanagan Mountain Park. The two men, both in their 20s, were camping near Okanagan Lake when they decided to hike to the top of Okanagan Mountain Park and spend the night there. Close to the top of the mountain, while waking in up to three feet of snow, the pair were caught in a couple of short, but intense, storms. The experience soaked their clothes, forcing them to stop and fight off the pending effects of hypothermia. Realizing they wouldn’t be able to get back to their campsite in the state they were in, one of them called the RCMP, who in turn contacted COSAR. COSAR responded with a crew of 12 search and rescue volunteers, four snowmobiles and two ATVs. Three teams where dispatched in an attempt to reach the two men in the shortest possible time. A snowmobile and an ATV team working together were able to get to the hikers by 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning. The two men were brought back to the staging area and given a chance to warm up until family members arrived to take them home. COSAR is remining the public how erratic the weather can be this time of year, which can easily catch hikers off guard in the back country, and to ensure that you have all the necessary survival equipment to help you get through the first 24 hours if lost.

BOAT SHOW…Kelowna Yacht Club’s 21st annual Boat and Leisure Show took place last weekend. With the new yacht club
under construction, visitors walked the docks to check out more than 150 boats.
Kelowna fundraiser for cancer society raises $465,000 Saturday was of special significance in the Okanagan for the Canadian Cancer Society. Besides being Daffodil Day across Canada, the annual Daffodil Ball fundraiser held to commemorate it generated donations of more than $465,000. Sponsored by the Thomas Alan Budd Foundation and held at the Sparkling Hill Resort north of Kelowna, the Daffodil Ball is a charity gala that helps the society fund life-saving research, lead cancer prevention initiatives and deliver compassionate support to people affected by cancer. Kelowna’s 10th annual Daffodil Ball was attended by local philanthropists who gave generously while enjoying an evening of fine dining, auctions and entertainment. One of the highlights of the evening was pro-
Micayla Kirschner vided by Jon Stetson, who skillfully combined the art of mystery with the science of psychology and the power of intuition to create the impression that nothing is impossible. The gala celebrated the Canadian Cancer Society’s contributions over the last 76 years in supporting families affected by cancer. It also recognized how research, prevention and support programs have made a positive difference for cancer patients and their loved ones.
Daffodil Day also marked the end of a month-long campaign, Daffodil Month, designed to raise awareness and money for the Canadian Cancer Society. “Like everything we do, Daffodil Month and the Daffodil Ball are only possible because of the generosity of our donors, volunteers and community partners,” said Randene Weir, regional director of the society. “On behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society, I offer my sincere gratitude to everybody who is helping us make a difference in the fight against cancer.” The evening of philanthropic giving is a signature fundraising event for the society in B.C. and the Yukon. Daffodil Balls take place in Kelowna and Vancouver, as well as in Montreal and New Brunswick. Since their inception,
the events have helped raise millions for cancer research, support and prevention, and have helped to instill feelings of camaraderie, commitment and hope in thousands of people across the country. For 76 years, the Canadian Cancer Society has been with Canadians in
the fight for life, relentless in its commitment to prevent cancer, fund research and support Canadians touched by cancer. The society works with Canadians to change cancer forever so fewer Canadians are diagnosed with the disease and more survive.

The Canadian Navy grew from 12 ships and 3,000 personnel prior to the war to 300 ships and 110,000 personnel by 1945. At that point, Canada had the fourth largest navy contingent in the world. The convoys were escorted by Canadian navy ships across vast distances from South America, the Caribbean; the U.S. Atlantic coast. In Canada, the ships set sail from St. John, Quebec City, Halifax, Newfoundland and Labrador. The convoys made their way to ports in Eng-

merchant marine were much higher. After the war, Canadian Merchant Navy veterans were denied veterans benefits and official recognition for decades. This was not corrected until the 1990s and many individual cases remain unresolved. Similar to the CMM Veterans status, World War II United States Merchant Marine Veterans were also denied veterans benefits and status until 1988. An important gesture in 2001 was the creation of Merchant Navy Remembrance Day by the federal government, which designated Sept. 3 as a day to recognize the contributions and sacrifice of Canadian merchant mariners.
Grants aid youth-led projects
The Central Okanagan Foundation for Youth will fund two youth-led projects in the Central Okanagan this year. A grant for $1,000 ha been given to The Dance Star Program, coordinated through the Okanagan Chinese Canadian Association, and another for $1,000 to the Summer Youth Drop-In Centre, operated by the Metro Community group. “It is our dream to introduce Chinese performing arts to Canadian people in support of multiculturalism and to create opportunities to local youth to learn and participate in Chinese performing arts,” said Dr. Meng, with the Okanagan Chinese Canadian Association. A committee of the Central Okanagan Foundation, COFFY is a group of youth age 15 to 29 who are working to encourage youth engagement and volunteerism within the Central Okanagan (Lake Country to Peachland) by volunteering, connecting like-minded youth and providing youth grants. The next grant deadline is Oct. 15 to fund further projects. Visit www.centralokanaganfoundation.org or call 250-861-6160 for more information.

Conference: Conversations on teaching and learning The idea is uncomfortably simple. Take the normal classroom-homework equation and flip it on its head. Invite students to use recorded lectures when and if they need to, courtesy of technology. They can watch a second time if they want. They can rewind, review, fast-forward. When the students are in the classroom the time can be put to better use to further explore and understand, both with their teacher and fellow students. This is the idea behind the flipped classroom, an instructional movement that has been gaining momentum around the world in recent years. CanFlip14, planned for June 19 and 20 in Kelowna, is a chance for practitioners to share their experiences, journeys, challenges and successes while using the flipped classroom model. Organized by two School District 23 educators—Carolyn Durley and Graham Johnson— and hosted at Okanagan College (one of the sponsors), the conference is intended to bring passionate educators together to discuss teaching and learning moving into the 21st century. “This conference is first and foremost about sharing ideas on ways to improve the learning experience,” explained Durley. “Not just for students, but for educators as well.” Technological and social change has presented opportunity and reason to examine how best to learn and teach, says Johnson. Both Durley and Johnson were awarded the 2011 Canadian Education Association’s Ken Spen-
www.kelownacapnews.com A5
cer Award for excellence in teaching and learning. “What makes this conference special is the diversity of experience and perspective that attend with the educators from higher ed, secondary and elementary schools,” Johnson noted. “Each has practical experience, insights and a drive to derive more benefits from the educational experience.” There are a host of presenters and sessions for the two-day event, which range from Playing in the Twitter Sandbox, to a student panel on the impact
of flipped classrooms. “This conference is a tremendous professional development opportunity for people who really care about ensuring education delivers all that it can for all involved,” said Dr. Rosalind Warner, an Okanagan College instructor and a fellow with the college’s Institute for Learning and Teaching. A presenter at the conference, Warner said she’s more excited about the idea-sharing, insights and inspiration that will come with the two days of networking.

oner’s inquests, and subsequent investigations, generated some heat at Monday’s ceremony. “Negligent corporations that kill workers face little public or legal scrutiny,” said Andy Pritchard, president of the North Okanagan Labour Council, who opened the event. “While police rou-
tinely investigate and lay charges related to homicides, different rules seem to apply to the workplace fatalities…Nearly two years after the Burns Lake explosion— we all remember that, two people lost their lives—it was announced that neither criminal charges, nor charges under the provincial Workers’ Compensation (Board of BC) will be

filed.” Pritchard used the event to call for more “thorough scrutiny of potential criminal liability” on the part of employers. “Governments have a responsibility to properly enforce health and safety laws and the criminal code, yet the same politicians who claim to be tough on crime are soft on corporations,” he said. A Vancouver Islander who travels the country giving a face to this call to action, Nick Perry said the injury he received working one of his first jobs might very well have been prevented if he had known his rights and been given proper safety training. “When I got my job at this plywood store in Victoria through a reference from my uncle, the only other experience I had was working at a Subway sandwich shop,” he said. “…I was given very little training, no supervision, never had any safety meetings in the six months that lead up to that fateful day.” And yet, he routinely used heavy-duty machinery, like the forklift he mismanaged, to cause his injury.

ones. While the injury dramatically altered the
course of his life, he survived, relearned how to walk and now speaks to youth taking workplace safety seriously. “I want the next generation to know they have the right to stand up against unsafe work,” he said. The older he gets, he noted, the more the gravity of his situation sets in as he listens to the stories at these ceremonies. Lynne Rozenboom provided the reality check
this year. She was widowed at 46 when her husband, Dirk, was killed in a helicopter accident. A power-line technician who came into the field late in life, safety was such a focus for her husband, he regularly dragged her to worksites on days off to ensure a thorough check was done before starting the week. “All linemen and women know, in their line of work, their lives depend on each other. There is no room for error; their is no room for mistakes,” she said. At approximately 1 p.m. on a Tuesday, despite his attention to detail, the engine failed in a helicopter he was travelling in to check lines from the air. “There is not a day that goes by that Dirk is not in our hearts and in our memories and on our lips,” she said. Cautioning those gathered that it only takes a moment of inattention and one poor decision to lose a life, she issued a call to action. “On this day, and every day, don’t just remember those who have been lost to us; please remember that you can do something about that,” she said. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites the public to attend an information session regarding the proposed six-laning of Highway 97 from Highway 33 to Edwards Road in Kelowna. In addition to the six laning, the project involves upgrades to major intersections, including the realignment of Rutland Road, to increase safety and mobility on Highway 97.

NEWS ▼ MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Organizers prepare for MS Walk May the fourth be with you. That’s the message from the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada’s Okanagan chapter as it gets ready for the 2014 Scotiabank MS Walk On May 4, more than 350 participants will walk along the Okanagan Lake shore to raise awareness and funds for the society here. The annual walk will start in Stuart Park downtown at 11 a.m. (registration at 9 a.m.). and from there participants can choose between three routes that will take them through the Rotary Marsh, back along the Okanagan Lake Promenade and into City Park. “It’s a great opportunity for people living with MS their family, friends and co-workers to come together, enjoy the spring weather and support each other,” said fundraising coordinator Miriam King. “Our chapter is fully self-sufficient and we
must raise the funds to support those living in our communities affected by MS, as well as support world leading research which will enhance the lives every person living with MS.” More than 100,000 Canadians have MS, with over 800 in the Okanagan region. It is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that greatly affects a person’s quality of life. There is no cure. “The great thing about contributing to the MS Walk is that you can see that the funds have a direct effect on the lives of those of us in the Okanagan with MS,” said Michelle, diagnosed in 2008 “Not only does money go to research, but we have coffee groups, selfhelp groups and exercise programs and more to support us.” . Every spring, walks are held in cities across Canada. The Okanagan
Arts scholarships for local students
Four Kelowna-area students have received scholarships from the B.C. Arts Council. Malcolm McCormick of Kelowna received $6,000 to study visual arts at the University of British Columbia. Ivory Day of Kelowna received $5,000 to study visual arts at Emily Carr University of Arts and Design. Lacia Vogel of Enderby received $5,000 to study visual arts at the University of Regina. Nicholas Denton-Protsack of Kelowna received $3,100 to study music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music “We ought to be proud of these kids,” said Steve Thomson, MLA for Kelowna-Mission. “They are the leaders of tomorrow and are already well on their way to doing great things.” The awards even prompted a personal congratulatory message from Westside-Kelowna MLA and B.C. Premier Christy Clark. “Congratulations Malcolm, Ivory, Lacia, and Nicholas. You each have a bright future ahead of you in the arts,” said Clark.

walk goes on the first Sunday in May as a launch to Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month. The local event would not be possible without the generous support of businesses in our community, organizations and event day volunteers. Participants have gone door to door, held bottle drives, dinner parties and one participant even held a baby pool for friends and family to guess the gender of her baby to be. The staff of Shoppers HomeHealthCare
at the Capri Mall held a lunch time barbecue to raise funds for their team as well as being a sponsor for the walk in Kelowna. To register for the walk or to make a donation, visit www.mswalks. ca or call the office at 250762-5850. The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is a non-profit organization. Its mission is to be a leader in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis and enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life.

▼ OUR VIEW
A whale of a decision
I
t’s not often a good news story turns out to be a bad news story. Such appears to be the case with the humpback whale. Earlier this week, the federal government announced it intended to downgrade the status of the humpback whale from threatened to species of concern. That’s good news. The north Pacific population of humpback whales was listed as threatened in 1985. Given the Conservative government’s ap-
parent dislike for anything that contributes to the preservation of the natural world, the initial knee-jerk reaction was to view the downgrading of the humpback’s status with cynicism. But the government’s decision to downgrade the humpback whale’s status came on the recommendation of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. COSEWIC, made up of experts, including university researchers and biologists from
provincial and federal agencies, made the determination after considering evidence from extensive population monitoring over the last several decades. Downgrading the status of the humpback means time and money can be applied to helping other species recover. But interest groups, such as the Living Oceans Society, view the government’s decision as just another stone on the highway to giving the Northern Gateway pipeline the green
light. A cynical view, but given the haste exhibited by the federal government in downgrading the humpback, the view has gained traction. That’s bad news. The only way the federal government can alleviate that cynicism is to exhibit similar haste when COSEWIC recommends the humpback whale should once again be placed on the list of threatened species. A penny saved isn’t always a penny earned.

I just got back from San Francisco But, unlike here where the 18-month where one of that city’s major downroad project was split over three town streets is torn up and closed time periods to allow for both sumdown in a $1.6-billion project to exmer tourist and Christmas shopping
breaks, in San Francisco the work is expected to take five years and just one hiatus is allowed per year, the month leading up to Christmas. Now, I realize comparing a $1.6-billion subway construction project to a $14-million street revitalization is a little unfair, but given the difference in city size, the impact of San Francisco’s work would be similar on that city’s downtown to the impact of the Bernard Avenue work here. It also illustrates the lengths Kelowna has gone to not only keep area merchants advised about what is happening and when, but also the constant encouragement given to the public to not think of Bernard Avenue as
“shut down.” A sizeable chunk of the $14 million this city has spent on Bernard has gone to the communications plan to keep information flowing to try to maintain—as best as possible—a level of business for merchants directly affected by the road work. In San Francisco, the Stockton Street work has garnered plenty of news but there are other major city road projects there that are not getting as much attention. And, as a result, businesses in those parts are suffering. In the Castro district for example, the popular and busy Castro Street is also getting a facelift. But in talking to some business owners, trade has
dropped off substantially because the public feel there is nowhere to park, no way to get into the many businesses that line the street and no way to get around the road work. Back here, the city learned a similar lesson in the 1990s when it rebuilt Pandosy Street, the main road through the South Pandosy commercial area. Those lessons taught it to do things differently this time around. And now, as the work on Bernard nears completion, the city needs to take a close look at how the communications plan worked and use it, or parts of it, for future projects in high-profile or high-traffic areas. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Adult & Childrens
To the editor: Southeast Kelowna residents were forced indoors last Easter Weekend as the Kelowna District Fish and Game Club hosted a two-day handgun competition. Gunfire erupted, cracking through the sky
at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, April 19. More than 19,000 shots were discharged over the two-day period, ending late Sunday afternoon, April 20. With no forewarning or consultation with local residents, the KDFG has shown no consideration
for its neighbours. Easter, celebrating of the resurrection of Jesus, was ushered in by the gun club with a storm of thunderous rifle fire and piercing blasts from semi-automatic handguns; sounding more like a military invasion rather than a time
of peace. To Kelowna residents who are concerned with the negative impact that the Kelowna gun range is having on your daily lives, please contact me by e-mail to share your experiences at peacefulSEK@gmail.com.
Let us work together to find a solution to this ongoing disregard for community members’ health and well-being. Malcolm Potts, Kelowna

▼ RESTAURANT SAFETY
IH can’t get restaurant health notices posted To the editor: After watching the latest episode of Marketplace: Canada’s Restaurant Secrets, I wanted to see how our local Kelowna restaurants faired in terms of health safety. I went to the Interior Health website and was surprised to see that the latest report was from December 2012. I followed up with a phone call to them and found out this was due to some internal database issues they had when moving to a
new system. I find this to be totally unacceptable. Diners in the Interior are completely in the dark as to finding out which establishments are safe to eat in. The Marketplace report praised the easy to see window displays in the Toronto restaurants—Green for Pass, Yellow for Conditional, and Red for Fail. This is a model for other cities in North America. We can only hope for such a system to be
put in place here. At the very least, I would hope for an up-to-date report that we, the general public can view to make informed decisions as to where it is safe to eat. Ironically, both my wife and I got food poisoning two days later when we dined out for Easter brunch. Harry Kaufmann, Kelowna
▼ DOWNRIGHT RUDE
Dog owners still shirk their doo-doo duty To the editor: It is nice when dog owners take responsibility for their pet’s ‘waste,’ stooping to scoop it into those little plastic bags, then putting said bag into the garbage. This complaint might not relate to any other neighbourhood, but here in Quail Ridge
(where I go for a walk almost every morning) I routinely see small plastic bags containing something, tied and left in the grass beside the sidewalk. But this particular morning, someone tied up a little bag and left it right in the middle of the sidewalk. I will admit that I did not open it to see
what was inside, but I’m pretty sure it contained dog crap. Come on, animal lovers—scoop it and put the bag into the garbage. Ed Copeman, Kelowna
▼ SAFETYTIPS
Don’t drag your dog to death while you ride To the editor: I hope this letter will spare a few dogs from being made to run while their human is comfortable on a fast-moving bike—skateboard or skates. Your dog is not enjoying the outing if he is lagging behind a taut leash. His lagging should tell
you to slow down, even stop for a while. Racers need to be in good physical shape to run. They need to train for the race. A dog that has been inactive most of the winter is not in shape to keep up with you on wheels, though he will do his best. Please have a care for
your dog. Run with him. If he goes too fast, you are in control of the speed; your dog, on the other hand, has no control to slow your wheels, unless he collapses. I’ll take this letter as an opportunity to also suggest something that may spare a few people from being injured or killed
Tulip symbol for Parkinson’s To the editor: Have you noticed during April, the lovely lighted red Tulip that stands proudly overlooking our city from Landmark Tower 2, 1708 Dolphin Avenue, in Kelowna? We wish to thank Landmark Centre management for displaying this red tulip. April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month and the tulip is our symbol. There are 11,000 people in B.C living with
this chronic disease. There is considerable breakthrough research of the brain and neurological diseases to give us encouragement and hope. “You are not alone” is the motto and theme of the Parkinson Society of British Columbia. Partners in Parkinson’s is the local support group here in Kelowna that meets on the first Thursday of every month and is open to anyone who may want to attend. The local caregivers
group meets on the fourth Friday of each month. Once a year, in September, we hold our annual Superwalk to raise funds for critical research and provide other help and hope.

BRIEFS DENTAL CLINIC
On Saturday, May 3, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Carrington Dental Centre wants to give back to the community in a meaningful way. Dntists Dr. Lance Huber, Dr. Kris Kalhs and Dr. Gary Powell along with the Carrington Dental Centre support staff will donate their expertise on proper oral care and the practice of good oral hygiene to children and youth of the Okanagan Boys & Girls Club. Each participant will be given a check-up, a cleaning and oral care counsel, along with an oral care kit provided by Crest Oral B. Carrington Dental Centre, located in Westbank, has been around for nearly 20 years. In Canada, one-third of all Canadians need dental treatment and research shows that 17 per cent avoided going to a dental professional in the past year because of cost. Nearly half of those in need of treatment are in the lower income group, and another 40 per cent are over 60 years of age. It is estimated that a full 32 per cent of Canadians do not have dental insurance and that percentage rises to 53 per cent for those aged 60. Carrington Dental Centre is committed to making a positive contribution for dental care among local residents through the Give Back, Smile Back Program.
EDC GRANT
The Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission has recieve a $14,125 grant from the federal government. The grant is intended to help funding the EDC’s ongoing efforts to attract, retain and expand investment in our region. This particular grant will be used to help develop a business investment guide. “The guide will provide a detailed description of the investment climate in the region including cost of doing business, incentives, competitive advantages, skilled workforce information, infrastructure, and R&D capacities,” said Robert Fine, executive director of the EDC. “The Okanagan has so much to offer and with one in 10 Canadian jobs linked to foreign investment, so it’s important that we do what we can to entice investment to our communities,” added local MP Ron Cannan.
Repurposing art space at The Factory It’s in The Factory but ARTE funktional has a one-of-a-kind approach Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When Jock Hildebrandt moved to Vancouver Island last fall, opening up space in Kelowna gallery venture The Factory for a new artist or dealer, the door opened on a golden opportunity for Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante. The Argentinian-born artist is a fixture on the Vernon art scene with her own commercial gallery promoting other artists and an active artistic practice working in architectural ceramics and three-dimensional textiles. “I always grew up around art and I always was interested in art and artists, so it’s something that was part of me,” said Sanchez de Bustamante. In Argentina, she worked in designer film and taught ceramic sculpture before immigrating to Vernon to be with the man who would become her husband, Robert Sterry. The pair met during the 1978 World Cup in Argentina and stayed in touch for over a decade in the lead-up to the big move. “After a few years, I was able to leave my country and he was living in Vernon, and he invited me to come to Canada,” she explained. It was 1989. She was 33 years old. And one could picture her launch into this new life as the kind of bronze-ensconced experience in which a pair of gates created by one of her artists swings open and she steps through to a stunning new life and career. In reality, Sanchez de Bustamante
started small, volunteering at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, eventually earning a staff position as an educator to work with the school program. She sold art at the farmers’ market and grew her own practice. Then ten years ago, in conjunction with another artist, she opened her own gallery in the city, eventually moving it into her home. “I like the promotional part or the sale. You know, artists we’re often secluded or solitary,” she said. “(But) the main goal is always to try and sell some art to be able to continue creating.” And create she does. With a hand in many ventures, she just finished a public piece for Okanagan College, working with youth from the community to craft four clay panels now installed in the parking lot of the campus. And she is currently working with a few local designers on private commissions, leaving only Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for her to man The Factory. The other days are left to staff. Having handled some of the top artists in the area, and the province, for years, she says her trick to selling is in the selection. “I don’t come from an academic background… I really select my artists for what speaks to me,” she said. This Thursday, that will include launching a new show with Salt Spring Island’s Gerda Lattey, a passionate stone sculptor, and Winnipeg’s Michel Saint Hilaire, whose architectural acrylic and mixed media paintings focus on infrastructure and how it interacts with nature, and the way mankind interacts with the natur-

for the period of time that you were at home and needing help. Expenses you can’t claim are rent, food, cleaning supplies, other maintenance expenses and a portion of salaries paid to administration and maintenance staff. The monthly statement from the retirement home must clearly indicate the breakdown of expenses in order to claim them. The statement must show how much is rent, administration wages, nursing wages, activities wages, housekeeping and laundry wages, dietician and chef wages and transportation wages. If the establishment is considered a ‘full-time care’ or ‘nursing home,’ the statement does not need to show all the detail. Most retirement homes are aware of the CRA requirements for the attendant care deduction. Your accountant must receive the monthly or annual statement(s) in order to calculate the highest deductible amount.

If you receive care in a group home, you can claim both the disability amount and the care expenses. Another tricky area is whether or not you need to pay GST on these services because some are
considered health care which is GST exempt and other services are not. You don’t have to pay GST on services provided to you by a licensed or certified practitioner, such as physiotherapy. You don’t have to pay GST for home care services provided in your
home if you have received some sort of subsidy or funding. You don’t have to pay GST for services of providing care and supervision to someone with an impairment in physical or mental function or if the person is in a group home. You don’t have to
pay GST on the receipt of home delivered meals when they are provided by a non-profit, charity or government organization. Gabriele Banka is a CPA, CGA and the owner of Banka & Company, Certified General Accountant. info@bankaco.com

Together we can help in preventing cruelty to animals. Speak for those that can’t.
Each year the SPCA investigates nearly 8,000 complaints. Neglect, abandonment, lack of veterinary care, animal hoarding, intentional abuse - sadly, these examples of cruelty are all too common. It’s a staggering statistic & many of us feel overwhelmed when we think of the thousands of animal who experience distress. We’re asking people to help spread the message and to help us creative communities that are more human across the province.
WHAT WILL YOU DO TO PREVENT ANIMAL ABUSE?
• Don’t be a bystander! If you are concerned that an animal may in distress, do not ignore it. Recognize the signs and report it . • Take responsibility for the animals in your life! Be a responsible animal guardian. • Speak up for animals! Early prevention is the best weapon in the fight against animal abuse. Summer camps, Pro-D day workshops, school presentations, and our popular Kids Club are just some of the ways the BC SPCA’s youth eduction programs help children of all ages develop lifelong empathy skills and learn compassion.

Animals that don’t come into enough contact with humans or other animals become very lonely, depressed, sad and bored. Usually those animals will develop negative vices to occupy themselves. Such as self destructing and self mutilating behaviors. Animals are craving positive interactions, similar to us.

▼ WHL ROCKETS
GM encouraged by Rockets’ future Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For Bruce Hamilton, being finished with a hockey season before the calendar turns to May never conjures up a deep sense of satisfaction. Still, even with the wound still raw from Friday’s playoff exit, the Kelowna Rockets’ president and GM admits the 201314 WHL season was one deserving of recognition. The Rockets set club record for wins (57) and points (118), then blew through the first two rounds of the postseason in nine games to advance to the Western Conference final. But it was there that Kelowna met its demise, as the playoff-hardened Portland Winterhawks took down the Rockets in five games. “I think we had a pretty successful year,” Hamilton said. “We had as many wins and points as we’ve ever had, so that’s says a lot about the job our coaches and play-
Bruce Hamilton ers did. “But the frustrating thing for me is that we seemed to lose our way in the last four games,” he added. “With played the first game with determination and commitment, but after that we just didn’t match Portland.” Much of the best hockey from the Rockets in the playoffs came from their younger corps—players such as Nick Merkley, 16, Rourke Chartier, 17, and Justin Kirkland, 17, who combined for 15 goals and 39 points in three playoff rounds. And while that bodes well for the future, it’s wasn’t the formula needed for success against the star-studded Winterhawks.
“You’re not going to win with your 16- and 17-year-old guys doing most of the heavy lifting,” he said. “We needed more out of a few of the older guys. Give Portland credit, they have some experienced guys who carried them and we didn’t have that.” Hamilton said if his Rockets made it to the WHL semifinal, they were certain they’d be seeing the defending WHL-champion Winterhawks, who had lost just twice in their last 40 games. Hamilton admitted he also knew the task would be tough, based largely on how the Rockets fared against other elite teams during the regular season. “(In February) when we lost on back-to-back nights at home to Edmonton and Victoria, that concerned me,” Hamilton said. “When it came to playing teams with a little more bite, we had a tough time with that, we needed more push and we didn’t have it.
“We were entertaining, we were a team that could score goals and I don’t expect that will change…but we didn’t maybe have the edge we needed a lot of nights. We’ll address that in the off-season.” Looking ahead, the Rockets will bid farewell to 20-year-old players Jordon Cooke, Myles Bell and Marek Tvrdon, while Damon Severson, and possibly Ryan Olsen, are expected to turn pro. With the likes of Merkley, Chartier, Tyson Baillie and Madison Bowey returning, and the addition of skilled forward Dillon Dube, Hamilton can’t help but be upbeat about this club’s potential over the next few seasons. “It’s going to be unique for us in that we’ve had a lot of depth at defense over the last while, but now we’ve got all these young forwards coming up, so from an offensive standpoint, it looks good,” he said. “We’ve got a real good

On Wednesday, two Rockets, Jordon Cooke and Nick Merkley, are finalists at the annual WHL awards. Cooke, 20, is the Western nominee for top goaltender, while Merkley, 16, is up

In pursuit of 102-yr-old crown Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The quest for B.C.’s oldest soccer championship is under way. The Royal Cup, which turns 102 this season, features men’s teams from up and down the valley competing for Okanagan soccer supremacy. Competition for the prestigious silver trophy began this past Sunday with the opening round of games in Kelowna. Five more rounds will follow, culminating with the championship match Sept. 13 at the Mission Sportsfields. With a rich history behind it, Matt Arruda of the defending champion Alves Bros. says Division 1 teams, in particular, take the annual Royal Cup competition quite seriously. “It’s a very big, prestigious honour, obviously the cup’s been around for more than 100 years,” said Arruda, a member of the defending champion Alves Bros., (formerly
Brandt’s). “It’s been pared down to Okanagan teams over the years, but in the past there were teams from all over Western Canada playing for it, so that makes is pretty special. “Guys in the lower levels maybe don’t take it as seriously,” added Arruda, “but for us (Div.1 teams) we show up for all those Royal Cup games and want to win. We’ve won two years in a row, so we’re quite keen to try and make it a third.” Alves Bros. is one of six teams which will also compete this season in the first division of the Kelowna Men’s Soccer League. Alves is joined by Ecora, who won both the league and playoff titles last year, as well as Modern Furniture Pikeys, Iris Optometry, Mario’s Towing and Carleton Athletic FC. While winning the Royal Cup is one thing, capturing the triple crown in Kelowna men’s soccer is a rare feat all its own.
“It’s very hard to win two, let alone three titles in one year,” said KMSL president Ian Watson. “It’s a long, demanding season, you have to play well every week to win the Royal Cup, and you have to peak at the right time to win our two league titles. It’s very competitive among our top teams.” KMSL Division 1 is down from nine clubs last season, but overall Watson said the league is maintaining some decent numbers with nearly 1,000 players registered. There are 42 teams entered in five categories— Div. 1., Div. 2, Div. 3 A and B, and over 35. Watson said where the challenge comes in is keeping young players engaged in the game so they will continue playing in Kelowna when their minor days are over. “Where we have trouble in that only so many kids are choosing to come and play in our league when they graduate from minor soccer,” said Watson. “Those that
don’t go off to university will often just give up the game. We want them to know our league is a good option.” To address those needs and some of the other issues facing soccer in Kelowna, the Okanagan Soccer Alliance was formed this spring—a collabCONTRIBUTED orative effort between THE defending Royal Cup champion Alves Bros gather around the winner’s trophy, as the Kelowna men’s and women’s leagues, and the Kelowna Men’s Soccer League teams begin their 2014 pursuit of the oldest soccer title Central Okaganan Youth in B.C.

strings a little bit, that this was their last chance as a group. “It was real important for them not to lay down and they didn’t,” he continued. “Winning this in overtime is a great lasting memory to our season. -We think we deserved to have this, and to say ’‘We’re No. 3…that’s not a bad thing at all.” t The Rockets posted a e1-1-3 record in the round robin portion of the tourgney, before losing 6-3 to the Prince Albert Mintos in Saturday’s semifinal. l And while they didn’t achieve the ultimate redsult, Michaud said by breaking new ground in e2013-14, the Rockets’ future should be bright. “It’s huge for the program,” said Michaud. “It wasn’t easy to address the guys in falling short of their goal, but we’ve got players back in the Okanagan who want to be Rockets because of the season they had. To get to this point and the impact it’s going to have going forward, the guys can hold their heads high.” The tournament featured some outstanding individual performances from Rockets players.
Forward Tanner Wishnowksi, a recent signee of the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets, led the round robin with 14 points and was named the championships’ top forward. Linemate Liam Finlay, who had eight points the round robin and two more in the playoffs, was named the tournament’s most sportsmanlike player. Looking ahead, with ten 17-year-old players on the roster, the Rockets will have considerable turnover next season. In addition to the
grads, forwards Tyson Jost, Jake Kryski, Wishnowksi, Finlay, and Tanner Campbell are among those expected to move on to junior hockey, meaning no fewer than 15 new faces will be joining the Rockets’ program next season. “There will be a lot of jobs open, there will be a lot of change, but that’s exciting too,” said Michaud. “(Coach) Mack (O’Rourke) and I are looking forward to building on what the team did this year and the legacy that they’ve left behind.”

Western Canadian boxing championships here May 31 Champions from both Saskatchewan and B.C. and anticipated entrants from Alberta will compete for the first ever WCB Western Canadian titles, May 31 at Rutland Centennial Hall. Madkatz club owner and coach Geoff Lawrence explains his
thoughts on receiving the honour of hosting a tournament of this stature. “I really think the decision was made based on the fans in Kelowna,” Lawrence said. “Madkatz has hosted five shows in the last year and a half and the fans of Kelowna have responded with cap-
acity crowds that are both knowledgeable and appreciative fight fans.” The champions from this event will face the Eastern champions in a scheduled card in the fall of 2014 in Niagara. The Niagara card will be the second annual Canadian title.
“Amateur boxing in Canada has had two strong governing bodies for some time. In the east is the OBA and here in B.C. we have the British Columbia Combative Sport Association,” said the president of Combsport, Dave Allison. Soon after the two as-
sociations joined with the WCB amateur movement, a format was established and the first ever amateur title was fought under the newly-formed WCB amateur banner. “By this time next year we will a national association with British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatch-

Four players commit to Chiefs
On the heels of a successful spring camp, the KIJHL’s Kelowna Chiefs have made commitments to four players, three who are from the Okanagan. n The Chiefs first commitment was to 1997born Jeran Knorr who spent last season with the Kelowna midget tier 1 e Rockets. Knorr finished the regular season with 18 goals and 50 points and y helped the Rockets win the tier 1 B.C. Hockey n championship. After picking up 34 goals in 64 games last season with the Pursuit p of Excellence U18 Prep t team, the Chiefs have also
landed Tyler Barrett. The 1996-born forward, from Kelowna, stands 6-feet and weighs in at 185 pounds. The third local player commit is1996-born Kyle Laird. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound defenceman spent last season with the West Kelowna midget tier 2 Warriors. The Chiefs also made a commitment to 17-yearold Josh Kobelka from the Brandon midget AAA Wheat Kings. The Wheat Kings assistant captain finished ninth in Manitoba midget AAA league scoring with 57 points in 44 games.
UBCO athletic scholarship fund flourishes Jill Festival, a fifthyear graduating member of UBC’s Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball team, knows about success, leadership, teamwork, and failure. She experienced them all during her varsity years and told the audience at the Ninth Annual Valley First/ UBC Okanagan Athletics Breakfast of her gratitude to the larger community. Festival, an English major in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, called herself “a return on your investment,” for the support she and Heat Athletics receive from financial donations, volunteer hours, and community support.
“You have all impacted our athletic program,” said Festival, who is from Calgary. “Without your support, our athletics program would simply not exist in its current form. You are all here today because you believe in the same thing: the value of competing as a varsity student athlete and the return that we will make as active members of the community once we graduate.” Festival’s five years on the volleyball team included three as co-captain – the last three playing at the highest level of university competition in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS). She

GRADUATING Heat volleyball player Jill Festival was the student-athlete speaker at the annual UBC Okanagan scholarship breakfast on Thursday morning. capped her playing career with the first-ever appearance by an Okanagan Heat team in the Canada
West Conference finals this year. Festival’s comments were echoed by Pierre La-
fontaine, CEO of CIS and special guest speaker at the breakfast. “The investment we make in these leaders is much bigger than athletics,” Lafontaine told the audience. “It’s a sum of inspiration, healthy living, keeping students in school and building a world-class country.” UBC Okanagan’s men’s and women’s volleyball and basketball teams joined CIS in September 2011, while the Heat soccer teams begin play in the premier league this fall. CIS is the governing body of university sport in Canada with more than 11,000 student-athletes and 700 coaches from 56 universities, competing for 21 national championships in 12 different sports. This year’s Valley First/UBC Okanagan Athletics Breakfast raised $50,000 in scholarships.

Cross training and core strengthening for older adults S o if you run three days a week, you may believe yourself to be pretty fit. Then a friend invites you to a low impact aerobics class and you find yourself exhausted and can’t keep up. Or maybe you’ve been faithful with your strength training program at the local gym, but you’re winded after running around the park with your grandkids? Or perhaps you’ve been circuit training for years and believe your cardio and strength are that of a high performance athlete. Then one day you bend over to lift something up and end up with a back injury that lasts for weeks. Most people stick with a sport or exercise program they enjoy and train year after year to improve their skill and ability. However, experts in the fitness field recommend cross training, participating in more than
FITNESS FOR SENIORS
Bobbi Kittle one sport or activity. Using just one set of muscles repeatedly can also increase your risk of repetitive injury. The harder you train your body for just one activity, the more stress you put on all the muscles and bones involved in that one activity. So the more you do and the better you get, the more you risk overuse and the greater your risk of injury. Cross training can help minimize injuries and muscle imbalances. Some other benefits of cross training are: • Relieves boredom and keeps you interested by adding variety to your workout • Renews motivation
and adherence to exercise program • Develops your entire body rather than just specific parts or energy systems (aerobic vs. anaerobic ) • Improves total fitness. Cross training can include activities that develop muscular fitness, as well as aerobic conditioning • Enhances weight loss. Individuals who want to lose weight and body fat should engage in an exercise program that enables them to safely burn a significant number of calories. Research has shown that such a goal, in most instances, is best accomplished when individuals exercise for relatively long durations (i.e., more than 30 minutes) at a moderate level of intensity Walking, bicycling, water and low-impact aerobics, cross-country skiing, strength training are appropriate and excellent
exercises for older adults. As you put together a routine, look for combinations of activities that are different from each other and that use different muscles. That way your whole body will get a workout. Cross training integrates anaerobic exercise (such as weight training), aerobic exercise (like jogging biking or swimming) and flexibility (such as tai chi or yoga). One overlooked element in strength training for all ages is the importance of working your core. Your core is a complex series of muscles, extending far beyond your abs, including everything besides your arms and legs. It is the centre of power, it is the bridge between the upper and lower body. If you think of the body as a chain, it is only as strong as its weakest link. You can have strong arms and legs but if your core is weak you will lack
strength and stabilization to the lower body which results in muscle imbalances and injury. A strong midsection is the strong link that allows for coordinated powerful movement of the whole body. Some exercises to strengthen your core muscles include the plank,
side plank, bridge, superman, swimmer, abdominal crunches and trunk rotations. No matter your age or your current physical condition, you can benefit from cross training and core strengthening. In fact, it’s more important than ever to keep strong and keep moving
as an older adult. As they say: If you don’t move it you lose it. Bobbi Kittle is a personal trainer and fitness instructor in Kelowna who specializes in working with seniors. 250-317-3508 ebobbi@pursuitfitness.ca

We are saddened by the loss of this dynamic, thrifty, capable lady who passed away peacefully April 24, 2014 in Kelowna Hospice at the age of 94 years. Vera was mother to son Ron (Millie) and daughters Gloria (Lars) and Vicki (Gerry), grandmother to Shawn, Kira and Ryan, Greg (Carolyn), Hilary (Piero), Evan (Annie), Sarah (Matt) and great grandmother (GG) to Christian, Sienna, Lauren, Fraser, Tova, Alessia, Abigail, Clare and Emma. She would tell anyone who would listen, about how proud she was of her family. Vera was predeceased in 1997 by her loving husband, Victor. She was born in Biggar, Saskatchewan having spent the rest of her years in Armstong, Calgary, Enderby, Salmon Arm, Winnipeg and finally the last 35 years in Kelowna. Vera never let go of the work ethic of a farm-raised girl through the depression. She worked hard at everything she did, be it paid work or volunteer. She was very careful with resources, and never wasted a morsel of food, water or electricity. Her last 8 years have been full of pleasure, bridge, friendships old and new, easy family visits and good food at Missionwood Residence. We expect she will find herself in a Heaven complete with a tidy, well-organized home, a pot of borscht ready on the stove, and a trio of good friends to join in bridge. Her TV will be tuned to curling, baseball and hockey. Her garden will be ripe with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and beans, and a flower garden of well-managed roses. We miss her already. Memorial service will be held at Valleyview Funeral Home, 165 Valleyview Rd. Kelowna. 11:00 am Friday, May 2, 2014 In lieu of Flowers, please make donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

We did not slow down in January, as a matter of fact we beat all the other Murray’s pizzas in sales with an all time record day for us when it was supposed to be a slow time of year. We see new customers nearly every day now so we have increased the size of our ad and will be increasing the number of menus we send out each time.

Forty-six West Kelowna residents have told their stories and shared their frustrations with health care services in West Kelowna since an initial call for submissions was put out last month. But the West Kelowna Residents Association knows there are many more people than that who want to see change. Last month, the WKRA asked residents to help identify gaps and problems with existing health care services on the Westside. The residents association has agreed to gather the feedback on behalf of Joanne Konnert, the consultant hired by the District of West Kelowna to prepare a report on the proposed Westside health facility. “I think Ms. Konnert is probably expecting a larger number,” said WKRA director Ron Green. “At the last public meeting we had on the subject, we had 245 people there.” Green said the responses so far have given

The West Kelowna teenager currently on trial for murder will finally tell her version of the events that left one of her peers dead, and turned a quiet Peachland street into a chaotic crime scene. The 18-year-old, whose name is under a publication ban, is alleged to have stabbed Ashlee Hyatt, 16, in her neck after an argument at a June 2, 2010, party. It’s a story that Crown counsel Murray Kaay assembled a number of witnesses to tell from varying angles, but defence lawyer Ingrid Friesen pointed out Friday that none of those viewpoints added up to a complete picture. “You as a jury will be the first to hear her side of the story—she wants very much to tell it,” Friesen told a B.C. Supreme Court jury Friday. “She’s been waiting two years to tell it.” The accused, who defence described as a “new girl trying to fit in at a new school,” has seen her point of view be absent in the last two weeks of trial, as even RCMP officers who dealt with the investigation failed to offer her perspective on what happened that night. What the jury has learned from teen witnesses who were there, however, is that the accused kissed a boy, while her boyfriend was nearby. This apparently upset Hyatt and the two started exchanging verbal barbs, which escalated to further pushing on the street, and eventually Hyatt was fatally wounded. Continuing on with the altercation, however, was the teenage host of the party. The defence has already suggested she was the one who brought the knife to the fight between the accused and Hyatt, and Friday two witnesses took the witness stand to highlight the teenage host’s behaviour in the aftermath and leading up to the fatal altercation. They also called upon George Young, who lives adjacent to the party house, to give testimony. Young testified he was brought into the fray when he heard a teenage boy in the street talking into his cellphone, saying, “It’s going down, it’s going down, it’s happening now.”

he day’s last light was fading and the first flakes of snow were falling outside the window, when a large black bear came ambling down the slope into the flower bed. There he began vigorously digging a hole, tossing plants aside as he went. A loud rap on the window sent him scurrying through the trees to the road, but the damage had been done in the garden. What if someone had come around the corner of the house and surprised that big animal? Others tell of watching as a large black bear ambled up their residential street, systematically exploring every driveway for garbage bins left out or other treats to eat, knocking over bins and laying down in the mess of trash in the road, while chewing on whatever was available.
