Kids narrowly Practise saves hockey player’s life avoid gunshots aimed at coyotes Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Two of Rex Jardine’s daughters were enjoying their Sunday afternoon, hanging out in bed when potential disaster whizzed by overhead. “I was working in my office, just three or four rooms down, and I heard them scream out, ‘hey Daddy— something happened to the glass,’” he said. Jardine went over and discovered a bullet had punctured the girls’ bedroom window, continued through their room to the closet, until it eventually landed in some clothing. “It was absolutely above their bed,” he said, of the bullet’s trajectory. When all calmed down in the house, Jardine went out and drove around his East Kelowna neighbourhood, looking for answers. He came up empty handed. No one had anything to say on the matter. When police got involved, however, they quickly reached a different conclusion. Const. Kris Clark said the Jardines’ 18-year-old neighbour admitted to firing off rounds from a high powered rifle, in an attempt to kill coyotes. “It’s rural, there’s a bit of farm land and orchards out there,” said Clark, explaining that the practice isn’t unheard of. “There is a bylaw that prevents the discharge of firearms within city limits, but you can get exemptions for getting rid of pest animals or livestock.” Whether that exemption had been granted, as well as a series of other details will be investigated as police decide if they will be pressing criminal charges or pursuing a bylaw violation. Jardine is hoping for the former. “I understand it’s an 18-year-old kid, but I want to see Crown counsel press charges. They shot into the bedroom with a high power rifle,” he said. “I haven’t received a phone call or an apology or anything from these people, which is what I’d do if I were to do something like that.” See Shots A5

Goaltender Steve Berry was standing in his crease as he watched his teammate, and friend, Dennis Savage collapse at Royal LePage Place about a month-and-a-half ago. “He went down… right in front of me. I knew it wasn’t an injury from an ankle or a knee,” said Berry. “It scared me.” Immediately, Berry and fellow Ogopogo Seniors Hockey Club player, Bill Koch, skated over to Savage. They realized he wasn’t breathing and they couldn’t find a pulse. Berry began performing CPR while yelling at the other players to call 911 and retrieve the team’s automated external defibrillator (AED), which they keep on the bench every time they play—just in case. ••• In 2006, a player named Vince Rowe suggested the club purchase an AED and that the players receive the appropriate training on how to use it. Savage admitted not everyone was keen at first. “I was probably one of the ones who was maybe a little hesitant about buying it,” said Savage. The equipment and training would mean each player would have to pay an extra $40 on top of their regular fees. Although

said Savage. “The machine will start talking you right through the whole assessment.” Over the years the club has sent several new players to receive similar training. In May 2013, Berry and Savage were among a handful of players who had previously been trained, yet signed up for a refresher course. At the time, the pair found themselves partnered together to practise using the AED on a dummy. ••• After about five minutes of performing CPR and two shocks from the AED, Savage still wasn’t breathing. “I was starting to get this very terrible feeling,” said Berry. “Then the third shock brought him back.” Berry and the other players watched as Savage began breathing and eventually talking, asking if he could sit up. “That’s when the emotions kind of all let themselves flow.” Savage, who experienced cardiac arrest, said he doesn’t remember much of his time on the ice during that March 12 game. When doctors observed his cardiogram, they found he had four blockages: Three at 80 per cent and one at 90 per cent.

Lake Country fire crews responded to an emergency call just after 7 p.m. Monday and arrived on the north shore of Wood Lake to take over CPR on the man, identified by a family friend as Shaun Stelkai, who had collapsed into the lake. “There were quite a few people around the beach and there was a couple that walked down to the lake,” explained Lake Country deputy fire chief Brent Penner. “One of the people went back to their car and when they returned the

When fire crews got to the scene a few minutes later, they took over CPR until B.C. Ambulance crews arrived and were able to use a defibrillator to revive the man. He was then taken to hospital and his condition was unknown at press deadline. “Someone started CPR right away and you’re not going to have a successful outcome if the blood and oxygen isn’t moving right away,” said Penner. “It’s essential CPR is started right away.

According to infrastructure division director John Vos, while council had already approved $750,000 for just the drainage work, if the additional work is done at the same time and the scope of the project is scaled back, the entire construction will cost $3.6 million instead of $4.6 million. “This is a heavily used road,” said Vos, of the thoroughfare that leads into the residential areas of Clifton Road and Magic Estates, adding the portion in question is lined with houses. Vos said the road-widening is included in the city’s 20-year servicing plan and would likely have been scheduled for three to five years from now anyway, meaning ripping up the road between Mountain Avenue and Clement Way twice within a three to five-year span. This way, it will only be torn up once. The storm drain work is required because of flooding for area residents. Heavy rain last September led to “significant” flooding at a number of area homes. Other properties in the area have had flooding problems during heavy rainfalls for several years. And, the threat of more flooding still exists, said Vos. The cost of the road work will be covered by development cost charges that the city raises from development throughout the city. The cost savings will be realized by designing the 300-metre, fourlane stretch of Clifton to a skinnier cross-section than originally planned. The more expensive plan would have seen the city forced to buy additional property alongside the road so it could widen the right-of-way to 30 metres, said Vos. Without the extra land, the width will stay at 25 metres.

Isla’s birthday bash raises $30,000 and more Mother of child with genetic condition hosts annual party to give Canuck Place a financial thank you. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

For every balloon Karrie Faucher blows up for her daughter’s birthday this year, another family’s load should feel a little lighter. Faucher’s daughter, Isla Ransom, has a genetic condition called Edward’s syndrome—a double 18th chromosome. With each year she grows older and stronger and her mother holds a public celebration to benefit their home-awayfrom-home, Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. “They have so much insight on her care and illness,” said Faucher. “They’ve helped us right from the beginning with Isla and they are a great resource for us.” The hospice is a place for families to access respite services, ask questions of nurses trained to deal with their unique needs and book a room

when hospital visits demand a trip to the Coast. With a raft of physical symptoms ranging from heart abnormalities to kidney malformations, the syndrome doesn’t offer parents’ a great future. “I really didn’t have any hope that she was going to make it to her first birthday,” Faucher told the Capital News in 2012. “So when her first birthday was coming up, and so many people had helped us along the way, I just thought we have to do something to really celebrate.” This is how Isla’s birthday celebration was born. Faucher had worked at Summerhill Pyramid Winery and called to see if they could accommodate a big event. Little did the winery know, it would become an annual affair. Today, the mother of three has raised $30,000 for Canuck Place and the celebration has grown

more unique each year. Her neighbour is honouring Isla, and the other children with life threatening illnesses who regularly attend, with capes this time, and the adults will be able to raise a glass in toast. “It’s a pretty good deal for $20 and I think the weather is always nice,” said Faucher. There is a tattoo station for the kids, door prizes, crafts and for the adults; gourmet appies, wine, bubbly and a live auction. The party is a chance for her friends and family and supportive community members to let down their hair and have some fun in her honour as she continues to face serious challenges each year. April and May seem to be particularly tough months in her world as the types of bugs circulating seem to change in the spring, making her particularly susceptible to life-threatening issues. “She had a fantastic year up until April when she got a double ear infection and pneumonia,” said

Faucher. She went into respiratory distress. Whenever this happens her parents must endure some difficult endof-life questions and the hospice offers great relief until she’s out of the woods. On any given day, Isla is now focused on enjoying her two siblings as her mom prepares for her enrance to kindergarten. Isla and her family would love to see as many people as possible join them at her birthday bash this year. The event will be held May 3 from 2 to 5 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for kids five and over and are on sale now at Frock Clothing store, 1567 Pandosy St., and Summerhill Pyramid Winery, 4870 Chute Lake Rd. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Addressing psychological stress in the workplace Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

News of workplace distress and even extreme violence, such as Wednesday’s shooting in a Nanaimo sawmill, regularly makes headlines. Now Kelowna will be one of the satellite locations for an inaugural conference intended to reduce psychological stress in the workplace. “There seems to be an increasing amount of low-level mistreatment at work,” said David Walker, UBCO faculty of management assistant professor and one of the leading experts in the field. Work reported in the Globe and Mail Tuesday from management professor Jacqueline Power suggests 40 per cent of Canadians report having been bullied at work. The Odette School of Business as-

with psychologically healthy environments.” The conference will run June 26 and 27 and is based out of Vancouver with satellite locations at UBCO, the University of Northern British Columbia, Thompson Rivers University and Royal Jubilee Hospital. Making these changes is also a legal issue in this province. The new Bill 14 Workers Compensation Amendment Act makes organizations accountable for the psychological environment in their workplace, making room for compensation for mental disorders. “One of the major changes in Bill 14 was that it went from people being able to take a leave because of psychological problems to being able to take leave for…(issues stemming from) post-traumatic stress from multiple events and long-standing issues,”

said Walker. As part of the conference, the group is hoping to collect nominations from businesses in Kelowna, and employees of businesses in Kelowna, where employees feel the company is making a concerted effort to improve the psychological environment. “What we want to see is what companies are doing to make sure they are looking out for the psychological health of their employees, so that could be policies they’re using to improve work-life balance to programs that build recognition or reduce stress in the workplace,” said Walker. Nominations can be filed through May 15 on the conference website at cirpd.org/resources/conferences under the Conferences 2014 tab. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Lake Country fire crews responded to their second ATV accident in two weeks as emergency personnel were called to a remote area off of Beaver Lake Road on Saturday afternoon. A man traveling in a group of ATV riders had rolled his vehicle and broken his leg in the accident and his leg was pinned between the ATV and a tree. One of the riders in the group drove down to the Heavy Equipment School in Winfield to call 911 and

to ask for help. A first-aid attendant from the school joined the ATV rider and went back to the scene, while Lake Country emergency officials deployed its specialized ATV to access the remote location. “We were able to drive in about a kilometre with regular trucks but then had to use the specialty ATV and we took our crews up there and then transported B.C.

Windsor said the man was lucky to be riding in a group or it could have been much worse. “When you are on a motor vehicle in the back country, sometimes accidents occur,” he said. “It’s important to be wearing the proper safety equipment and riding with a group. In this case there was an accident but someone was there to stay with him as well as another person to go and get help.” The Lake Country firefighting ATV can seat four emergency personnel and also tows a specialized trailer that can store medical equipment and also carry a basket stretcher.

Lake Country driver injured in car crash Coyote shooter may face charges ▼ EAST KELOWNA

Police are searching for a suspect after a 28-year-old Lake Country man was sent to hospital early Monday morning following a two vehicle hit and run crash. The collision occurred near the intersection of Highway 97 and Sexsmith Road, April 28 at 7:41 a.m. A red four-door Infiniti passenger car had entered into the southbound lanes of Highway 97 was struck from behind by a Ford Ranger

pickup truck, said Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark. “The passenger car then veered to the right and collided with the rear of a flat deck trailer parked along the side of the highway, causing significant front end damage. The driver of the pickup truck failed to remain at the scene of the crash.” The driver of the Inifniti sustained non-life threatening injuries in the collision.

On March 21 Savage underwent a successful quadruple bypass surgery at Kelowna General Hospital. In a few months, he will likely be playing golf and hockey again. Savage said he is thankful for Rowe’s suggestion of receiving proactive training. “(Rowe) was insistent that we should get (an AED). I’m sure glad that we did…if we didn’t have it there, chances are I wouldn’t be here today,” said Savage. Berry said there was potential for panic to take over on March 12, but the training the players had received helped calm the situation. “It helped bring everybody (into) focus,” said Berry. “There were 20 of us on the ice that day, we all seemed to provide some sort of assistance.” Both Berry and Savage encourage other local sports teams, especially those with older players, to consider purchasing the device and get the training. “We’re just regular people, we’re not medical professionals,” said Berry. “The little bit of training that we had focused us. “We got our buddy back.”

Shots from A1 Regardless, Jardine said he thinks the offending neighbour has likely learned his lesson. And he has faith in the others nearby who may follow similar pest-control methods. “People shoot coyotes daily up here, but they’re responsible. Everyone with a brain knows you need to see what’s behind what you’re shooting,” he said. “When I was at that house, I could see the roof of my house.” The girls, ages 7 and 10, have come out of the incident emotionally as well as physically unscathed, he said, noting they don’t “appreciate the gravity of the situation.”

Basran to run for mayor’s job Search for a ‘green thumb’ T ▼ GARDENING

Rookie Kelowna Coun. Colin Basran has made it official—he wants to be Kelowna’s next mayor. Basran, 36, held a news conference Tuesday morning on the rooftop terrace of a downtown restaurant, with Okanagan Lake as a backdrop, and made the announcement, ending months of speculation. Last December, he told the Capital News he would consider running for mayor this November if current Mayor Walter Gray did not run. Gray, 76, announced last month he would not seek re-election. But while Basran is the first mayoral candidate out of the gate, he said because he still has six months left as a councillor, all he was doing was announcing he will run for mayor. He declined to give any specifics about his platform or what he wants to achieve as mayor, other than to make Kelowna a great city for both young and old.

KELOWNA city councillor Colin Basran announced

Tuesday his intention to run for mayor in the November civic election. “At this point I’m not releasing a platform,” he said. But he said he was excited to embark on what he expects to be an “amazing journey” over the next few months. The first-term councillor, who works as a realtor and is a former television news reporter, said he announced early to “end the speculation” about whether he would run.

With the recent transition into the rainy season, one needs to think about the amount of irrigation that is actually required during these cooler and wetter days. One great way to manage your watering schedule is to utilize a rain sensor that will automatically turn your irrigation system off when rainfall occurs. Rain sensors are designed to interrupt the irrigation schedule during a rainfall event. They are adjustable and will only turn the irrigation off after a preset amount of rainfall occurs. They are easy to install and come in several configurations depending on the options required. Rain sensors are wired directly to the irrigation system controller and depending on the manufacturer are available in either a wired or wireless unit. Wired sensors typically come with 25-30 ft of wire, which can be added onto if required to locate the sensor properly outside the home. Wireless sensors have a little bit more flexibility as to where they can be located. With the wireless system only the receiver is wired to the irrigation controller, the rain sensor itself has a built-in transmitter which transmits back to the receiver module that interfaces with the controller. To be continued……

or Sharon Shepherd is expected to enter the race, but has said she has not made up her mind yet. Meanwhile, longtime city councillor Robert Hobson has said he is strongly leaning towards not running after 26 years on council and has said it would take something very serious to move him away from that position. On Tuesday, the crowd on hand to hear Basran announce his political intentions included several local business people, some of whom are key players in the local high-tech sector. Basran has been a strong proponent of that sector and Lane Merrifield, co-founder of Club Penguin, now part of the Disney Corporation, praised Basran for being

“engaged” when it comes to the tech sector. He also described him as someone with a vision for the future of the city. “I think he can be a change-agent for our community,” said Merrifield in his introduction of Basran. The city’s first mayoral candidate of 2014 was born and raised in Kelowna and his family has lived in this area for nearly 100 years. He is married and has two young children. In announcing, Basran said he wants to see a better future here for both his children and his parents, one he is confident can be achieved if Kelowna lives up to its potential and continues to embrace technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. And he said he is ready to jump into the mayor’s race “with both feet.” He said he announced early, in part out of superstition—when he ran for council three years ago, he was the first councillor candidate to announce— and also because he wants to “get the ball rolling.” As for his lack of political experience, he said others may focus on that. “I know my opponents… will focus on the things that I’m not, but I can only control the things that I am.”

Advocacy effort targets drunk drivers Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Okanagan Mounties have done their part to ensure that fewer families have to face loss at the hands of drinking drivers. They contributed to a provincewide 52 per cent decrease in alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths announced by the provincial ministry of justice in February, which represents 190 lives saved. “It is amazing to us that when a team of committed individuals are working collectively towards a goal that change can truly happen. We are humbled by the results of reduced fatalities, and give credit to our front line officers, who are supported by their leaders and government to truly make our roads are safer for all our communities,” said Laurel Middelaer, a road safety advocate who has led a charge against drinking and driving in B.C. In 2010, Middelaer challenged the RCMP, municipal police officers, and the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General of British Columbia to reduce the number of deaths caused by alcohol impaired driving by 35 per cent by the end of 2013, the year her daughter Alexa would have turned 10 years old. Alexa was four and a half in May 2008 when she died from what Middelaer has called the “very real consequence of poor choices and negligent behaviour.” “We got a call, and I knew it was Alexa and I knew she was dead,” said Middelaer. The little girl was on a rural road in the Lower Mainland, holding her aunt’s hand and feeding a horse a cookie through the fence. Across that road were her grandparents, looking on. The picturesque image was tragically cut short by a car careening down the road. It swerved into the

Each took at least 34 criminally impaired drivers off the road in 2013. grandparents’ car. They, left injured, were trapped inside as the vehicle bounced off their car into Alexa and her aunt. The impact sent Alexa into the air “out of her Crocs” and across the way into a horse paddock, where she died. Her aunt was left broken, bones exposed at the side of the road. And when the dust settled, her grandparents made a call to Laurel and her husband to come help. “We were a block from the house and we arrived on the tragic scene.

Everyone here has seen what I’ve seen,” Middelaer said. “I saw a little girl, lifeless in a horse paddock. I saw grandparents with blood streaming down their faces, stuck in the car…and I saw the accused smoking a cigarette, sitting on the curb.” It was more than most could take in, but the realization that it happened because of speeding and alcohol was gut wrenching. For the years that followed, the family waited for the court system to deal with the matter. After

that was done, the accused was put in jail for two and a half years. But, said Middelaer, it wasn’t enough to quench their grief, and that propelled her into activism. Since that time Middelaer has lobbied for legislative changes to the way drinking and driving has been dealt with. She’s also helped develop Alexa’s Team, which rewards officers for their efforts to remove impaired drivers from the roads. “The 313 members of Alexa’s Team, from the RCMP and municipal police departments across the province, have risen to the challenge and demonstrated that commitment to a noble cause can save lives and make the roads of B.C. safer for all of us,” said RCMP “E” Division Insp. Ted Emanuels. “Our objective remains to work with our road safety partners to eliminate impaired driving as a cause of fatal and serious injury collisions.” In 2012, Beirness and Associates Inc. conducted their bi-annual roadside survey to measure alcohol and drug use among B.C. drivers. The findings indicated that the levels of drinking and driving were the lowest ever recorded with 8.3 per cent of drivers testing over .05 blood alcohol content. The study also indi-

cated that patterns of drug use by drivers were more consistent than alcohol use with 7.4 per cent of drivers testing positive for drug-impairment. Alexa’s Team members have been working just as diligently on the drug-impaired driving front, removing 231 drivers impaired by drugs from the roads in 2013. ICBC, the Justice Institute of BC and the Middelaer family honoured the 313 officers who form the 2013 Alexa’s Team at four events held in Surrey, Victoria, Kelowna and Prince George (see sidebar).

Shaking up conventional wisdom

sually at this time of year, even with a municipal election pending this coming November, the last thing people want to think about is civic politics. People are glad to see winter over, dusting of their golf clubs, cleaning out their campers, firing up their boats or just getting outdoors. But Kelowna city councillor Colin Basran has thrown a wrench into that thinking by publicly announcing his plan to run for mayor, with Walter Gray

having already stated his decision to retire from civic politics. While Basran didn’t have much to say in detail about his policy ideas or vision for Kelowna’s future, when he gathered the local media at Earl’s Restaurant on Tuesday morning it was more about planting a seed for what is to come. His perception, possibly, was to get a head start on his potential competitors, and establish a benchmark that anything he has to say around the council table on a given issue or a public pos-

ition he speaks to publicly will be coming from a mayoral candidate, not just a city councillor. Traditionally, candidates and their supporters talk for months about the possibility of mounting a campaign, but the formal announcement tends to come in late summer or early fall. Basran has decided to step up to the plate as those discussions for his candidacy remain ongoing within his team of supporters, but whether or not it will impact the campaign this fall remains to be seen.

Other than Basran’s fellow councillor Gail Given and past f mayor Sharon Shepherd, ruf mours about who might run have been pretty muted. a While conventional wisdom i says that Basran has announce n his candidacy too early, nobody u will likely remember that come O October. Meanwhile, we will i now have five months prior to t watch and listen to what Basran a has to say under the guise of be- pt ing a potential mayor, which a could turn out to be either a i blessing or a curse come the fall. d

B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve divided, not conquered

ootenay area MLA Bill Bennett has done what I reported last November he was doing—seizing the horns of the sacred cow that is the Agricultural Land Reserve. Henceforth there shall be two land reserves. The Island, South Coast and Okanagan, which produce 85% of B.C.’s total farm revenue on 10% of protected land, retains its strict anti-development rules. In the much larger area Bennett likes to call “beyond Hope,” non-farm uses will be considered to help main-

tain the many economically marginal farmers. This is the Interior, Kootenay and North, where development pressure is mostly an urban myth. In remote Tom areas, ALR dictates Fletcher with no relation to reality are routinely ignored. Political critics were quick to call this a B.C. Liberal hidden agenda to pave the ALR for their developer pals. When the zone plan was revealed last week, the media went to ALR pioneer Harold Steves, the hero of all Lower Mainlanders who try to tell northern farmers what to do.

VICTORIA VIEWS

“My real fear is that they want to open the door for fracking and natural gas and oil,” Steves said. I’ve got bad news for the socialist sage of south Richmond. Oil and gas companies have operated on farmland since before the ALR was created in 1974. Conspiracy buffs should read the delegation agreement that took effect just weeks after last May’s election, giving the Oil and Gas Commission authority to administer wells, pipelines and waste pits on farmland. If the ALR interferes with the prescribed handling of drilling waste, it interferes with safety measures. University of the Fraser Valley “food security” professor Lenore

Newman went on CKNW to refute what she called “uninformed arguments,” and then offered one of her own. This two-zone change is connected to the exclusion of large tracts of Peace land for the Site C dam, she said. Actually, the government exempted that project last December using the long-standing “provincial interest” provision, so this phase of the alleged capitalist plot against farmland has no effect on Site C. Steves is also concerned about second homes being built beyond Hope, and later sold rather than being destroyed as is the current disastrous rule. He warns that farmers might end up with “non-farm neighbours,” or as we like to call them up north, “neigh-

bours.” Again, this is an urban problem projected onto rural B.C., where costly restrictions mainly serve to accelerate the depopulation of rural and remote areas. The most damning charge is that the six regional ALR panels now in place are open to corruption under new rules. Panel members have always been cabinet appointments, but currently they have to be from outside the region so they are less likely to hand out exemptions to their friends. That is certainly something to keep an eye on. So is the status of B.C. farms, where the average farmer’s age is 56 and rising, and half of farms have income less than $10,000 a year.

▼ AIR POLLUTION

Time for Tolko to clean up its act Open letter to Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, City of Kelowna council, Central Okanagan Regional District board chairman Robert Hobson: Re: Air emissions from Tolko Mill endangers public health (Wet Wood Burn Source of Concern, April 25 Capital News) Turning a blind eye to the air emissions from Tolko’s Kelowna mill is unacceptable from a public health standpoint. The mill emits smoke and particulates that are both carcinogenic (cancer causing) chemicals and impair lung function. Especially vulnerable are the young and elderly, which make up 50 per cent of Kelowna’s population. The Central Okanagan Regional District’s October 2001 discussion paper on air quality stated then that one in 10 people living in the region have asthma; 3,000 people have advanced bronchitis or emphysema; and 500 people have heart conditions. CORD also estimated the regional costs of human suffering and loss of health and quality of life by stating that the average costs of “symptom days” due to outdoor air quality range from $1.5 million to $7 million per year; and estimated that loss of work time at $1 million to $1.5 million per year. Times have changed since 2001. There are more people here now; there are more health issues related to air pollution; and, the public health costs have more than tripled. Yet Tolko

continues to pollute our air shed without using state of the art air pollution control equipment. The city and the regional district need to step up to the plate to protect public health. A few options come to mind. First, sanction Tolko for non-compliance using both city and regional bylaws regarding burning wet woody debris. Second, file formal complaints against Tolko with BC Environment, BC Health, Environment Canada and Health Canada citing non-compliance with Tolko’s air emissions permits during this smoke event. Ask these agencies to initiate more frequent stack tests and continuous off-site monitoring at numerous sites to detect particulate, volatile organic compounds and fugitive dust emissions that escape from Tolko’s mill site. Ask that the offsite emissions collection plates be analyzed to determine the origin of the particulate. For more than a decade, these agencies have recognized the health impacts of smoke from industrial burners and have classified smoke and particulate as toxic compounds. Off site monitoring will quickly show how serious air emissions are in the neighbourhood surrounding the mill and will support charges being laid under federal and provincial legislation. Tolko’s executives, shareholders and local managers need to wake up to the fact that air pollution is a public health issue. Third, work with all stakeholders to en-

sure Tolko’s Kelowna mill upgrades its air emission and fugitive dust control technology. Replacing the inefficient dry electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) with highly efficient wet ESPs will vastly improve air emissions from the mill stacks. Fugitive dust can be contained, recaptured and used in the plant as fuel or as a wood filler or binder. The costs for these upgrades will be paid back in a few short years with maintenance savings alone, which will directly benefit Tolko’s owners and local residents for many decades to come. New wet ESPs will also eliminate the black gobs of crud that are emitted from Tolko’s stacks and land on local cars and boats. Local residents have long known that Tolko has a problem that must be fixed. The city and the regional district have long been dragging their feet on solving the problem. This is an election year. Show voters you mean business. Make Tolko’s air emissions the public health issue it really is. Tell Tolko polluters will not be tolerated. Tell them to clean up their act because the city and the regional district need a clean and healthy environment for its citizens and visitors to prosper and enjoy a high quality of life. It’s time for you to roll up your sleeves and get to work for the little guys. Richard Drinnan, MSc, environmental consultant Kelowna

▼ KGH CHAPEL

All religions’ icons should stand To the editor: Further to Dr. Deborah Gordon’s letter referencing a letter from Jake Thiessen re: Plea for return of a cross. Perhaps my humble opinion might also be aired in your newspaper? (Christianity One of Many Religious Beliefs Welcome in Kelowna Hospital Chapel, April 22 Capital News.) Briefly, I suggest that

consideration be given to the idea of sending out an invitation to all religious faiths in the region served by KGH to offer their icon for display in the chapel. Christian ecumenism appears to invite this symbolic action as an appeasement to one and all involved in this debacle. Should those who have the power to remove Christianity’s sym-

bol deem merit contained here-in, then their icon could and should be returned to its rightful place and amongst the icons of other respondents. A practical reaching out to those of all faiths rather than deprivation by removal of one icon of long-standing in the chapel. R.W. Haslock, West Kelowna

Curb-side recycling works great for newspapers and other paper, but there are better systems for packaging. Once we get rid of MMBC, we can start building a made-in-B.C. system that gets good results, unlike the Ontario system that their minister has called “a disaster.”

Edgson nervous B.C. money may dry up for ‘worst road’ Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

CAPITAL NEWS FILE PHOTO

PREMIER Christy Clark announces $1 million for up-

grades to Westside Road in 2013. Westside Road has received $10.3 million in improvements since 2008 but is still in the running for BCAA’s Worst Road. Westside Road was at the top of the 2014 list, followed by 40 Street North-

east in Salmon Arm. Last year, 89 per cent of those who voted for

Westside Road suggested potholes and crumbling pavement was the main problem. The road earned approximately 250 votes out of the total 2,000 votes cast. Over the past twoand-a-half years, several improvements have been announced for the infamous road. In November 2012, the province announced a significant infrastructure upgrade, which involved the re-aligning, widening, shouldering and installation of barriers for approximately two kilometres at two separate sections of Westside Road. On July 11, 2013, one

day after Premier Christy Clark won the Westside-Kelowna byelection, she announced another $1 million would go toward additional paving on Westside Road. In total, more than $6.5 million was spent on Westside Road in 2012 and 2013; since 2008, $10.3 million has been spent on the road. “Westside Road serves a number of the Okanagan’s most popular resorts and campgrounds, as well as over a thousand residents…it’s not acceptable to have it named B.C.’s worst road,” Clark said at last year’s funding announcement. Regional District Cen-

tral Okanagan West director Jim Edgson is pleading with residents not to crown Westside Road with the title of B.C.’s worst road for a third straight year. Although Edgson has been a long-time advocate for improvements to Westside Road, he said the province “has been efficient with funding and (has) made things happen.” He’s concerned another poor ranking may cause the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to pack up and initiate projects elsewhere in the province. “If people are grateful and appreciative about the

efforts, (the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure) will carry on,” said Edgson. “People have to understand that there’s been a process in place since 2011 and it’s coming to fruition. Votes for this year’s competition can be cast until May 26.

Championing the benefits of the small claims court process

am a big fan of small claims court. As an articling student, almost 20 years ago, it was where I “cut my teeth” in the courtroom. The Nanaimo law firm where I articled always had a collection of small claims cases on the go. The responsibility for handling those cases was handed over, year after year, from articled student to articled student. After articling, I moved to the Okanagan where I took on and built a mixed litigation practice. It feels like a lifetime ago when I was able to focus my legal practice to handle only personal injury cases, but I still very much remember the wide assortment of legal matters that came across my desk. Many legal disputes I was consulted about were not significant enough to justify paying thousands, or tens of thousands, of dollars in legal fees. Often, hoping to keep legal expense to a minimum, I was asked to simply issue a “demand letfter.” - The hope was that the ”person on the other side of the dispute would “turn -tail and run” on receivning a sternly written letter efrom a lawyer. I regularly sent potential clients away, pointsing them in the direction

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott of our small claim court system. I explained that the few hundred dollars they would pay me to learn about their case and issue a demand letter would be better spent commencing a small claims lawsuit. There is no legal consequence of ignoring a lawyer’s demand letter. In comparison, ignoring a small claims notice of claim will result in a provincial court judgment that is just as powerful as one issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Small claims court provides a way to access our justice system to solve legal disputes that are not big enough to warrant huge legal bills. When first created, it could handle cases up to $3,000. It can now handle cases up to $25,000. It has been argued that the limit should be $50,000 or more, because even at that level most if not all of your “successful” judgment can be eaten up by legal fees if a lawyer is involved. There is a downside to small claims, though.

Bullies can engage the system to pursue unjust claims just like the “little guy” can go after just ones. When pursued by a bully, a Small Claims lawsuit can feel like a kind of extortion. With television and movies portraying legal cases as being won and lost not on the basis of the validity of a claim but on the clever tactics of lawyers and the arbitrariness of judges, there can be a lot of pressure to pay off the bully and move on with your life. This is particularly so during the first formal step of a small claims lawsuit—the settlement conference. During the one-half hour informal meeting, the role of the judge is to mediate between the two sides, encouraging a settlement. The role is not to sort out who is right and who is wrong. A “bully” in that meeting will not be exposed. With a judge encouraging you to negotiate a settlement payment, you might feel that the bully has already won. While compromise and “give and take” are important and valuable in most life circumstances, they are a means to victimization when you are facing a bully. If you are facing a bully, I encourage you

Public Notice of Open House

Highway 97 Six-Laning

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. This is the second open house, giving the public an opportunity to review changes made to the design since the first public consultation. Project staff will be on hand to provide information and answer questions. This drop-in open house is scheduled for the following date and time: Friday, May 2, 2014 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre 2170 Harvey Avenue (Highway 97) Kelowna, BC For more information contact Project Manager Spencer King by telephone at 250 828-4976 or by e-mail at Spencer.King@gov.bc.ca

to hold your nose during the settlement conference and not allow yourself to be victimized. A trial is a very different place It is not a place of smoke and mirrors and magic where a silver-tongued bully can win over an arbitrary judge. In my experience, small claims court is a place where justice is done. A judge will step right in to help the soft spoken, less confident party along. I do recommend that you consult with a lawyer about your claim early on, to get an objective, legal perspective of what’s fair and to get important advice about how best to help the judge sort the case out.

From basement to live venue, ‘James Deen’ snags festival gig Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Local musician Brennan Henderson (aka James Deen) has landed a coveted gig at the Sled Island Music & Arts Festival in Calgary and all from the evenings he spends toiling at the computer in his basement. Henderson is an electronic musician. Three years ago, he started developing music and publishing it himself on SoundCloud. “I take a song and rip it apart and make a new one out of it,” he told the Capital News in December of 2012 when he first started attracting attention. In very little time he had a collaborator in Los Angeles and hundreds of followers. Applying to a few festivals this year, after turning gigs at Habitat, opening for electronic maestro Sam Klass, and the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Arts, he found out two weeks ago he will be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Neko Case and Joel Plaskett at the Sled Island festival in June. The only challenge now, he said, is trying to figure out the lineup. “It’s definitely taking me more time. I just keep working on it, really thinking it through.” While there has been plenty of thought put into making his music, Henderson fully admits it’s taken very little energy to develop his career. Thus far, it would seem, the new connections and achievements pretty well arrive on his doorstep—

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis for a tie-in with the rest of the Marvel cinematic universe, it will likely not happen as Sony/Columbia Pictures has the movie rights to Spider-Man, and Marvel Studios (owned by Disney) has the movie rights to The Avengers characters. However, Sony is now seriously considering movies based on other Spider-Man characters including Venom and The Sinister Six (of which Electro was a member in the comics). And here is a little spoiler: Even though 20th Century Fox has the rights to X-Men, the now-expected scene at the end of the credits is actually a teaser for X-Men: Days of Future Past. And since Fox also has the rights to The Fantastic Four (which is being rebooted next year), I would expect to see a

crossover between them and X-Men in the future. You almost need super-human mental abilities to keep track of it all (or as my wife calls it: A head full of useless movie information). ••• This weekend could also see the start of a new tradition—Morning Cinema at Landmark Cinemas Grand 10 and Landmark Cinemas 8 Xtreme. For early risers it will be a great opportunity to see some of the biggest movies starting at or after 10 a.m. (up until noon) for discount prices. Morning Cinema will be at the Grand 10 on both Saturday and Sunday and Saturday only at Xtreme, West Kelowna (because Westmount Church has their services on Sunday mornings).

No spectacles required HEAVEN IS FOR REAL

Based on the true story of a young boy’s visit to Heaven, written by his father Todd Burpo and filmed in Manitoba, this show is a riveting account of a near-death experience and the enormous change it brought about to a family and a whole community. Todd Burpo, a pastor in a church in Imperial, Nebraska is played by Greg Kinnear, his wife Sonja (Kelly Reilly) are at first hesitant to believe the stories that keep being told by their son, Colton (Connor Corum) and this leads to stress, anger, D and a sense of isolation. As the stories become irrefutable, the courage and conviction of a family and a community serve to provide comfort and solace

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen to those who doubted. Directed by Randall Wallace, the actors are perfect for the parts they play and if the attendance in the theatre on Wednesday night were any indication, this will be a winner. The audience I was in, actually clapped at the end—now that’s something I haven’t experienced in quite a while. Heaven is for Real is thought-provoking, and while the book itself has much more to say about the experience, there is a sense of wonder about the

whole thing—not to mention the good news that, in Heaven, no one is old (a fact I find comforting). This film likely won’t change any minds, or even cause folks to have an epiphany of belief, but it may start a dialogue and it may prompt some to buy the book, but more importantly, I think it makes us realize that there may just be a whole lot more than what we see and can even imagine and doesn’t that make us all feel just a little better? Four reels, oh and in Heaven, no one wears glasses either.

WHL awards for Rockets’ Cooke and Merkley

STAFF REPORTER

As a team, the Kelowna Rockets enjoyed the most successful regular season in franchise history. Two players who played significant roles in their club’s 57-win, 118-point campaign were honoured this week by the Western Hockey League. At the league’s awards ceremony Wednesday in Calgary, Jordon Cooke, 20, was named the league’s goaltender of the year, while forward Nick Merkley, 16, was selected as the WHL’s rookie of the year for 2013-14. Cooke, in his fourth and final season with the Rockets, racked up some impressive numbers between the pipes with 39 wins, a 92.2 save percentage and 2.28 goals against average. “I’d like to thank my team, game in and game out they did everything possible for me,” Cooke said upon accepting the award. “Our year has been

And while it wasn’t part of the voting process, the talented centre added 17 more points in 14 playoff games. “Just like to say thank

he started with us,” Huska said. “He started with a small role, but it wasn’t long before he earned more ice time and became one of our key forwards. He’s a guy who works as hard as he can, and he sees the game differently than most players do. He has some high-end abilities that you don’t often see. We’re excited for him.”

A’s swept by Blaze, off to Coquitlam

Warren Henderson

STAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan Athletics perhaps deserved better, but came up empty against the B.C. Premier League’s top team in a four-game series at Elks Stadium. The Langley Blaze swept a pair of doubleheaders from the A’s, including a pair of close, one-run games on Saturday afternoon. In the opener, Kyle Ross spun a one-hitter and struck out 12 as the Blaze scored a 1-0 win. Easton Forrest tossed a complete game eight-hit-

ter for Okanagan, with the only run being unearned in the top of the first inning. In Game 2, Langley scored once in the top of the seventh to squeeze out a 4-3 victory. On Sunday, the A’s didn’t offer the same resistance, as Langley won 8-3 and 5-0. Okanagan managed just 17 hits in the four games. The Blaze now lead the BCPBL with a 10-1 record, while the Athletics are 4-6. This coming weekend, the A’s will travel to Coquitlam for four games

against the Reds.

JUNIOR A’S SPLIT…

The Athletics bounced back from an 0-4 start to the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League season to earn a split of four games against the Vancouver Cannons on Saturday at Edith Gay Park. Okanagan picked up a pair of wins Saturday, 5-4 and 8-6, as Brandon Ludwig and Hayden Bennett earned the decisions. On Sunday, the Cannons rebounded with wins of 15-8 and 9-7. Ludwig paced the A’s offensive attack on the weekend with seven hits

and nine RBIs. This weekend, the Athletics (2-6) will be in Surrey to take on the White Rock Tritons.

The Okanagan champion will represent the valley at the B.C. School Sports provincial rugby championship beginning the week of May 24. Meanwhile, the Owls settled for 12th place at the B.C. High Schools 7s last weekend at UBC in Vancouver. KSS, which was ranked fourth entering the provincial tournament, finished the event with a

1-3 record. With a lot of turnover from last year’s squad, coach Dave Marfleet said lack of experience was an issue for his Owls. “The guys played their hearts out but we didn’t have a good tournament,” said Marfleet. “It’s a rebuilding year, we had a lot of guys who didn’t play last season, so inexperience was a factor.”

Owls’ Truss to join Heat on hardwood

Kelowna Owls’ graduating captain Buzz Truss will stay right at home to pursue an education and play university basketball. One of the top high school players in B.C. last season, the 6-foot-4 Truss has committed to the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s program for the 2014-15 Canada West season. With a versatile skill set and a knack for scoring, the talented forward helped the KSS Owls to a valley championship last season a solid 3-1 showing at provincial AAAA boys championship For Heat head coach rPete Guarasci it was ,Buzz’s penchant for soldid defense and ability to nmake plays that will have Truss slip right into his rsystem. t “Buzz was one of ”the top Grade 12’s in BC -this past year,” said Guartasci, “as a local player it ywas great watching his -game develop over the past few years. I wanted to make sure Buzz knew that he had a place to play at home and go to school and I’m extremely pleased he decided to stay in Kelowna.” In his senior year at Kelowna Secondary Buzz

A very efficient scorer Truss shot 54 per cent from the field for the year and 35 per cent from beyond the arc. Buzz’s ability to score field goals was best display as he closed out his high school basketball career. At last month’s Quad A B.C. provincial championships Buzz led the tournament with 40 field goals in just four games,

scoring 26.5 points per contest in the province’s premier event—good enough for fourth best at the championship. Excited to keep another local talented kid in the Okanagan Guarasci speaks with great enthusiasm when talking about adding Truss to a strong core group of local young player as he heads into his third season manning the Heat. “We’re really happy to add him to our program

as he brings the work ethic that we are looking for both on and off the court. I think his versatility, basketball IQ, and competitive spirit will make him a solid contributor.” “He obviously is a great coach,” Truss said of Guarasci. “He’s had a great career in basketball … I believe playing under him will be really good. When he was talking to me I really like how he was putting academics first, and then sports, so it makes me feel really comfortable coming [to UBC Okanagan] than anywhere else.” Truss will be entering into the Bachelor of Science program in the fall, with aspirations to major in biochemistry. “The schooling, first of all, is fantastic,” he said of the academic programs at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “I want to focus academically, so it was the ideal choice for me.”

Goaltender Steve Berry was standing in his crease as he watched his teammate, and friend, Dennis Savage collapse at Royal LePage Place about a month-and-a-half ago. “He went down…right in front of me. I knew it wasn’t an injury from an ankle or a knee,” said Berry. “It scared me.” Immediately, Berry and fellow Ogopogo Seniors Hockey Club player, Bill Koch, skated over to Savage. They realized he wasn’t breathing and they couldn’t find a pulse. Berry began performing CPR while yelling at the other players to call 911 and retrieve the team’s automated external defibrillator (AED), which they keep on the bench every time they play—just in case. ••• In 2006, a player named Vince Rowe suggested the club purchase an AED and that the players receive the appropriate training on how to use it. Savage admitted not everyone was keen at first. “I was probably one of the ones who was maybe a little hesitant about buying it,” said Savage. The equipment and training would mean each player would have to pay an extra $40 on top of their regular fees. Although there was slight pushback at the time, eventually the players agreed it was a worthwhile investment. Soon after, 18 players from the hockey club took a half-day course with St. John Ambulance. They learned basic CPR, first aid

related to common hockey injuries and how to properly use the AED. “It’s very straightforward, the machine itself is virtually foolproof,” said Savage. “The machine will start talking you right through the whole assessment.” Over the years the club has sent several new players to receive similar training. In May 2013, Berry and Savage were among a handful of players who had previously been trained, yet signed up for a refresher course. At the time, the pair found themselves partnered together to practise using the AED on a dummy. ••• After about five minutes of performing CPR and two shocks from the AED, Savage still wasn’t breathing. “I was starting to get this very terrible feeling,” said Berry. “Then the third shock brought him back.” Berry and the other players watched as Savage began breathing and eventually talking, asking if he could sit up. “That’s when the emotions kind of all let themselves flow.” Savage, who experienced cardiac arrest, said he doesn’t remember much of his time on the ice during that March 12 game. When doctors observed his cardiogram, they found he had four blockages: Three at 80 per cent and one at 90 per cent. On March 21 Savage underwent a successful quadruple bypass surgery at Kelowna General Hospital. In a few months, he will likely be playing golf and hockey again. Savage said he is thank-

Edgson nervous B.C. money may dry up for ‘worst road’ Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Two-time BCAA Worst Road defending champion Westside Road seems to be in the running for the infamous title yet again. Westside Road was named worst road in the annual campaign in both 2012 and 2013. The BCAA contest promises to bring attention to some of the most problematic roads in the province by sharing complete survey results to road authorities to encourage improvements. Although voting only recently opened, as of Wednesday morning Westside Road was at the top of the 2014 list, followed by 40 Street Northeast in Salmon Arm. Last year, 89 per cent of those who voted for Westside Road suggested potholes and crumbling pavement was the main problem. The road earned approximately 250 votes out of the total 2,000 votes cast. Over the past twoand-a-half years, several improvements have been

announced for the infamous road. In November 2012, the province announced a significant infrastructure upgrade, which involved the re-aligning, widening, shouldering and installation of barriers for approximately two kilometres at two separate sections of Westside Road. On July 11, 2013, one day after Premier Christy Clark won the Westside-Kelowna byelection, she announced another $1 million would go to-

ward additional paving on Westside Road. In total, more than $6.5 million was spent on Westside Road in 2012 and 2013; since 2008, $10.3 million has been spent on the road. “Westside Road serves a number of the Okanagan’s most popular resorts and campgrounds,

as well as over a thousand residents…it’s not acceptable to have it named B.C.’s worst road,” Clark said at last year’s funding announcement. Regional District Central Okanagan West director Jim Edgson is pleading with residents not to crown Westside Road with the title of B.C.’s

worst road for a third straight year. Although Edgson has been a long-time advocate for improvements to Westside Road, he said the province “has been efficient with funding and (has) made things happen.”

KSS Owls’ Truss to join Provincial 10-pin at McCurdy UBCO Heat on hardwood Kelowna Owls’ graduating captain Buzz Truss will stay right at home to pursue an education and play university basketball. One of the top high school players in B.C. last season, the 6-foot-4 Truss has committed to the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s program for the 2014-15 Canada West season. With a versatile skill set and a knack for scoring, the talented forward helped the KSS Owls to a valley championship last season a solid 3-1 showing at provincial AAAA boys championship For Heat head coach Pete Guarasci it was Buzz’s penchant for solid defense and ability to make plays that will have Truss slip right into his system. “Buzz was one of the top Grade 12’s in BC this past year,” said Guarasci, “as a local player it was great watching his game develop over the past few years. I wanted to make sure Buzz knew that he had a place to play at home and go to school and I’m extremely pleased he decided to stay in Kelowna.” In his senior year at Kelowna Secondary Buzz averaged 19.6 points a game while hauling in nearly eight rebounds a contest. A very efficient scorer Truss shot 54 per cent from the field for the year and 35 per cent from beyond the arc. Buzz’s ability to score field goals was best display as he closed out his high school basketball career. At last month’s Quad A B.C. provincial championships Buzz led the tournament with 40 field goals in just four games, scoring 26.5 points per contest in the province’s premier event—good enough for fourth best at the championship. Excited to keep another local talented kid in the Okanagan Guarasci speaks with great enthusiasm when talking about adding Truss to a strong
