Foerster’s father Council opts for expanded park size expected to plead guilty Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The Cherryville man who allegedly hid his son from police scrutiny after he became the lead suspect in a high-profile murder investigation, is expected to plead guilty to related charges Wednesday morning. Stephen Roy Foerster, 60, is scheduled to enter the guilty plea to charges of obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact, relating to the 2011 murder of Armstrong teen Taylor Van Diest, said Crown counsel David Grabavac. Sentencing recommendations for those charges will be heard in the Kelowna courtroom at that point as well. It’s the final legal hurdle for the Van Diest family, who spent years awaiting the courts to address the 2011 murder of the teen. “I’ll be there,” said Taylor’s mother Marie Van Diest, Monday morning. “Wednesday will be a telling day. I probably won’t be somewhat satisfied until I find out what kind of sentence (he gets.)” Matthew Foerster was convicted of first-degree murder in April and will be in prison for a minimum of 25 years. A jury found he fatally beat Taylor Van Diest and left her to die on a stretch of Armstrong train tracks Halloween night 2011. He may have escaped unidentified, but the teen had scratched her assailant and his DNA was found under her fingernails. It was matched to the DNA in a pre-existing assault complaint, from a Kelowna escort agency, and the victim of that alleged crime helped police with a composite sketch. Some 1,250 tips from the public were gathered after the sketch was released, and numerous people pointed to the junior Foerster as a potential suspect. B.C. Mounties, assisted by their colleagues in Ontario along with members of the Ontario Provincial Police, arrested Matthew Foerster five months later at a motel in Collingwood, Ont. His father was arrested the same day at his Cherryville home. Over the course of Matthew Foerster’s two-week See Guilty A10
Kelowna city council has finally found a compromise for development of a waterfront park in South Pandosy that most, if not all, can live with. On Monday, council received a round of applause from a packed gallery as it rejected a staff recommendation to approve a development plan for 11 city-owned waterfront lots near the foot of Cedar Avenue that would have included creation of a 5,740 square-metre park. Instead, council opted for an alternate plan that calls for a park nearly twice that size. And in doing so, council also dropped an associated proposal to sell two of the lots at the north end of the parcel to help pay for development of the park. The key difference between the two plans is Abbott Street will not be realigned under the adopted proposal and as a result, will not cut the city owned properties in half. That move would have allowed land on the east side of what was being called the new Abbott Parkway to be sold off for development. “I’m super excited,” said Michael Neil, an area resident and Kelowna businessman who led the three-year effort to press the city to keep as much land as possible for the proposed waterfront park

in South Pandosy. “I’m just so glad they (council) took the time to look at this,” he said. With every councillor and the mayor speaking to the issue following a presentation from city staff— some twice—it was clear council was divided on the two options before them. Known as “refined option one” and “refined option four,” the former originally included selling the two lots at the north end of the property to
raise money to pay for the $4.9-million park. The sale of the properties would have returned the city about $1.7 million, said a report to council. The other option did not include selling any potential park land, instead carving off property the city already owns by realigning Abbott Street and allowing development on the east side of the new road while using the property on the west side, between the road and the

lakeshore, as park. The latter plan would have cost $4 million but according to city staff would have been more than offset by a return of about $4.4 million from the sale of land east of the new Abbott Parkway for development. A three-day design workshop, known as a charrette, took place earlier this year and featured representatives of the public and several associated groups. Three of the four tables at the charrette fa-
voured the realigned Abbott Street model. But many members of the public who showed up to view the work of the charrette opposed realigning the road because they felt it would carve off land they felt should be used for park. In debating the issue, city councillors stated their preferences for the two recommended options with the final vote on the smaller park option

Vernon teen dies in head-on crash in Lake Country A 14-year-old Vernon boy is dead after the vehicle he was in struck another Sunday afternoon. Lake Country RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 97 near Crystal Waters Road Sunday at 3:50 p.m. A black Dodge pickup truck was allegedly travelling southbound in the outside lane when it was struck, head on, by a northbound white Pontiac Sunfire. According to witnesses, the Pontiac was moving with the flow of traffic when it suddenly swerved left across oncoming lanes and hit the Dodge pickup. The force of the collision caused the truck to overturn onto its roof, while the Pontiac was sent into the ditch on the southbound side of the highway. The passenger of the Pontiac, a 14-year-old Vernon boy, sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene. The driver, a 17-year-old Vernon boy, suffered serious but non life-threatening injuries and was air-lifted to Kelowna General Hospital. The passenger of the pickup truck, a 25-year-old woman from Lumby, also suffered serious but non life-threatening injuries while the driver, a 26-year-old Lumby man, was relatively unscathed. The initial investigation suggests that neither speed nor alcohol were factors in the crash. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information who has yet to speak with police is asked to contact the Central Okanagan Traffic Services, Const. Danilowich, at 250-980-5353. Remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477, leaving a tip online at crimestoppers.net or by texting your tip to CRIMES (274637) ktown.

GIVING BACK…About 50 Sussex Insurance business owners from throughout the province were at Rotary Marsh Park in Kelowna
It will be Thursday afternoon before the latest snowpack results are in from the provincial River Forecast Centre—relevant information in light of a streamflow advisory issued this weekend. The centre issued a high streamflow advisory Sunday for Mission Creek and other watersheds east of Kelowna to Vernon, meaning the water could be rising rapidly—al-
though was not expected to flood. There are still two levels higher on the provincial system—flood watch and flood warning—but, for now, the danger has been evaded. “The centre says rainfall has ended through the South Interior and river levels have eased from last week’s high snow melt and precipitation,” said a news released issued by the Central Okanagan Regional District midday Monday.
All property owners adjacent to and in lowlying areas of Mission Creek are still being asked to prepare for the worst. Last year, the creek crested in mid-May, sending a whole block of residents into sand-bagging mode as they tried to prevent water from flowing into their basements. “The transition came quickly,” the River Forecast Centre’s Dave Campbell told the Capital News, as the weather spun wildly from a dump of snow
on the Coquihalla to unseasonably high temperatures within a week. Residents at the base of Mission Creek have become accustomed to the sight of logs careening toward the bridges and roads washing out in the seasonal scourge. The abandoned Muttitt property off Highway 33 in Joe Rich is also a top flood hot spot. Anyone noticing a potential problem or flooding concern in the Central Okanagan is asked to
call the Regional Fire Dispatch at 250-469-8577. Sandbags are available at local fire halls for property owners facing imminent danger of flooding. The District of West Kelowna has deposited sandbags for its property owners in three locations: Casa Loma Beach (2606 Casa Loma Road), Pebble Beach Park (adjacent to 2583 Whitworth Road) and Falcon Park (1339 Green Bay Road).

West Kelowna engages in new tactics to combat goose population New tactics will be used this year to try and control the introduced, non-migratory Canada goose population in West Kelowna. Trial techniques will be used along the district’s waterfront to frighten Canada geese and discourage them from nesting in and around beaches and overcrowding lakeside parks. A licensed contractor will carry out and monitor the effectiveness of the scare tactics. Residents will also notice district staff using noise guns to drive geese away, a contractor employing a team to routinely clean problem geese areas and West Kelowna is testing water quality weekly at high use beaches during the late spring and summer. Licensed contractors will continue with past years’ efforts to locate nests,
conduct population counts and addle eggs to aid in further controlling goose numbers. These efforts in West Kelowna are part of the wider Okanagan Valley Goose Management Program, which adheres to federal and provincial wildlife regulations. The program is a partnership involving communities across the valley from Vernon to Osoyoos. West Kelowna officials say the program has succeeded to hold population numbers steady in an effort to preserve water quality, reduce conflicts with humans and pets and prevent the invasive geese from crowding out natural species in the Okanagan as Canada geese are highly aggressive and have few natural predators.

City hands out $80,000 in grants Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The City of Kelowna has handed out $80,000 in grants to 10 local social development agencies to help them pay for programs this year and another $22,000 to two groups for their efforts to fight the sexual exploitation of youth in the city.

14 requests for community social development grants totalling $143,525 and two applicants that sought grants to address the sexual exploitation of youth. The community social development grants went to: • Canadian Red Cross—$10,000 for its Health Equipment Loan Program (HELP) • Church Serve Canada, operating as Hands In Service—$8,250 to expand its Living Salads program to bring community gardening to mobility and health-challenged individuals
• Food For Thought Kelowna Breakfast Society—$7,825 to increase the number of schools where the program exists to 21 from 13 • Inn From The Cold—$10,000 to train volunteers • Kelowna Community Food Bank—$3,000 to buy an industrial-sized freezer • Kelowna Family Services Centre—$5,000 for a new photocopier • Okanagan Fruit Tree Project—$10,000 to enhance an existing program that works with non-profit-group and for the Cool Arts program
• Project Literacy Kelowna Society—$10,000 for one-on-one adult tutoring and online resources. Grants to address the sexual exploitation of youth went to: • Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society—$10,000 for its CEASE (Community Education And Sexual Exploitation) program • New Opportunities For Women—$12,000 for a continuous intake program with the goal of abstention from drugs and alcohol. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Gospel Mission is expanding Kelowna’s Gospel Mission officials say the move to five dental chairs from the existing two in its clinic—a facility currently staffed by volunteer dentists— will mean more patients in need can be treated to free dental examination. The clinic is located inside the Gospel Mission’s building on Leon Avenue in downtown Kelowna. “When we started this clinic 10 years ago, we had no idea how many people in our area cannot afford access to dental care,” said Gospel Mission executive dir-
ector Randy Benson. “There is incredible need, and with our small clinic, we are unable to meet those needs in a timely manner. Therefore, we are excited to expand our clinic from two to five full clinical chairs.” The expanded clinic will allow for a full-time staff dentist to provide a continuum of patient care. Last week, the clinic’s volunteer dentists were presented with the 2014 Anita Tozer Memorial Award by the City of Kelowna for exemplary community service.

Repairs detour Gellatly Road traffic
0 - Needed erosion re-pairs to Gellatly Road will cause delays in traffic flow efor the next five weeks. f A portion of the road, approximately from Witt -Road to Angus Drive, requires emergency repairs sto shore up its bank which yruns parallel to Smith lCreek. The Regional Emersgency Program has esrtablished a Level 1 Emer-gency Operations Centre -to assist in managing this dsituation. The District of West Kelowna closed the road on May 2 after geotechnical and hydrological studies indicated erosion of the bank on the west side of the road was threatening the road and utilities infrastructure and the situation was likely to worsen. Last weekend, more
of the slope was lost and a second washout area was noted. Rain and upland runoff caused high volumes of water in Smith Creek, which has undermined the lower portion of the bank along Gellatly Road. With more rain in the forecast and further erosion of the bank anticipated, the district will immediately begin repairs to about 160 metres of Gellatly Road. Those repairs will involve preparing to divert the wastewater that runs through a pipe underneath this section of Gellatly Road in order to prevent any possible contamination of Okanagan Lake or Smith Creek, which is a fish bearing waterway. The wastewater collection system is owned and operated by the
Regional District of Central Okanagan. In the interest of public safety, the road will remain closed to motorists and pedestrian while these emergency repairs are undertaken. An informal trail on nearby Westbank First Nation has been closed as well. A detour has been established around the site and the transit stop in this location has been temporarily closed as well. The speed limit on the detour route will be modified to 30 km/h during the repair. Motorists are asked
to respect the speed limit and RCMP will monitor traffic. Witt Road residents will be able to access their properties as usual. Motorists can access lower Gellatly Road from the south via Highway 97 and the Glenrosa overpass or from the north via Boucherie Road. Angus Drive can be accessed via lower Gellatly Road.

Bumbershoot Theatre musical based on children’s book series Fun will be the focus of Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre Company’s production of A Year with Frog and Toad, which will be staged from May 15 to 25. Featuring Kelowna actors Colin deBourcier as Frog and Frank Takacs as Toad, the musical play will follow the dissimilar friends through four fun-filled seasons. The cast is rounded out by well-recognized young Kelowna performers Ruby Bullock, Naomi Cormier and Antony Knight. Based on the popular books by Arnold Lobel, the play features book and lyrics by Willie Reale and music by Robert Reale which follows cheerful, popular Frog and grumpy Toad as they wake from hibernation to begin four seasons of adventures and learn life lessons along the way. As with all Bumbershoot productions this year, there will be a community involvement partner, in this case the Mission Greenway Educational Centre. The Community Night program at 6 p.m., Friday, May 9, will feature a reading of the story by artistic director Tracy Ross followed by a discussion by representatives of the Mission Greenway. Everyone interested is welcome to attend this event, which will take place at the Bumbershoot Theatre, 125-1295 Cannery Lane in downtown Kelowna. A Year with Frog and Toad will run from Thursday through Saturday even-
ings at 6.30 p.m. and Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. from May 15 to17 and May 22 to 24. There will also be Sunday afternoon matinees at 2 p.m. on May 18 and 25. Tickets are available at the Bumbershoot box office at the theatre or by calling 778-478-0142. Ross described the play as having, “a jazzy, upbeat musical score that bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant and enchanting experience for the whole family.” The play tells the story of a friendship that endures, weathering all seasons as the two friends celebrate their differences, which make them unique and special. Bumbershoot, which was launched in 2009, is a non-profit registered charitable theatre company dedicated to introducing Okanagan youth and children to the magic of the theatre. In addition to its live theatre performances, the children’s theatre company also offers a full selection of drama workshops and classes. Another activity is its residency program, which is done in conjunction with participating Okanagan schools. The program offers a week-long inschool program, which immerses students in a drama workshop as part of the school’s curriculum.

Fashion show to unleash local talent Kip Jon Productions has teamed up with the Centre for Arts and Technology to develop Capone’s Underground Affair, which will bring local talent and fashion to life. Performers will come together to provide a sensational experience at a location which won’t be disclosed until closer to the show date of May 24, 7 p.m., in Kelowna. Capone’s Underground Affair is the second annual showcased by Kip Jon. This year, the company has invited eight students from the Centre for Arts and Technology event and promotions management class to help organize.
In its inaugural showcase last year, The Rock n Rococo Affair involved 40 models, 36 local performers and 120 staff volunteers. The fashion show gives local performers a chance to impress established industry types with their talents as well as to raise funds for a worthy cause, this year being the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. “The Okanagan Boys and Girls Club provides an amazing service and support in our community and it’s a cause that is very close to my heart,” said Kip Jon, head of his own production company. As for local talent, Jon said there will be produ-
cers and A-listers from L.A., New York, Vancouver, and Toronto flying in for the event and to look at the Okanagan and its talent. “We have put the event together to give the talent in the Okanagan a place to showcase themselves in front of a crowd they may normally not get a chance to perform to.” The details are currently being kept under wraps, but it has been suggested that it will take place in the prohibition era as the title of the event suggests.

Flood prevention effort lacking
F
looding has become an almost regular occurrence at this time of the year, so word that Cooke Creek in the Kingfisher area burst its banks Friday came as no surprise. Emergency personnel were immediately on scene, ensuring that residents were receiving the assistance they needed, and for that, they deserve our praise and thanks. But instead of just mobilizing an emergency response
every year, there needs to be action to minimize the prospect of flooding as much as possible. However, the provincial government continues to ignore its responsibility. Victoria has indicated the Regional District of North Okanagan must initiate a feasibility study on improvements on Ashton Creek, and one would assume, all other creeks where flooding could occur. However, RDNO officials, and rightly so, have stat-
ed creeks and flooding are provincial mandates and the costs of upgrades and liabilities could be downloaded on to the district if it does the study. Also, it is the provincial government that has the authority to go into creeks and physically do any work, not the regional district or municipalities. Debris played a role in the Cooke Creek flood last Friday, and the situation is a reminder of the threat fast-moving water poses to lives, property and pub-
lic infrastructure such as roads. Also, some preventative efforts could reduce the lastminute costs that seem to arise every year when officials are reacting to an emergency. It is time for Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo and his provincial government colleagues to get serious about flooding and stop passing the buck on to other jurisdictions. —Vernon Morningstar

On one hand, the next six to end the speculation about his politmonths will give him plenty of time ical future. to raise his profile among voters, but Unlike provincial and federal it could also leave him as the forgotcampaigns, which are normally preten man when other high-profile can-
didates start to step forward later on. And, as he noted when he announced, he also has six months left as a councillor and that could lead to added scrutiny, and second-guessing given his stated desire for higher office. Meanwhile, two other possible candidates, Basran’s fellow first-term councillor Gail Given and former mayor Sharon Shepherd, have both said while they are giving a mayoral run some thought, it’s too early to commit. If history is any guide, the race here for the eight councillor seats will produce a crowded field while the mayor’s race—with incumbent Walter Gray having already said he won’t seek re-election—should provide a
few strong candidates and a few no names. But timing is everything. The only potential candidate who can afford to enter the race late is Shepherd, given her already high profile as a former two-term mayor and before that a long-time city councillor. Given, like Basran, joined council in 2011 and both benefited from the controversial backing of the Four Change group in the last election. She does, however, have her past experience on the Central Okanagan Board of Education as an added asset and could find herself endorsed by the same business types who lined up behind Four Change the last time around.
So the challenge for Basran will be to stay front and centre over the next few months while others prepare to make their moves. His ace, of course, is that he already sits on council and that should afford him publicity others who may be thinking of running, but who do not already hold public office, cannot capitalize on. Given, however, would have that same advantage. Over the last 2 1/2 years, Basran and Given have shown they are team players. Now Basran, and Given if she decides to run, have to show they are ready to lead. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ TRINITY WESTERN DEBATE
TIMELESS QUALITY & COMFORT
Hergott’s argument ‘specious, spurious’ Open letter to Capital News columnist Paul Hergott: Your column, (Achieving Justice: Trinity Western Law School Bid Conflicting for Lawyers, April 24 Capital News), was an inspiration, a compelling read. The sincerity of your belief in the justice of your position was palpable and lucid. The fact, that as a lawyer your skill has been trained, nurtured, and honed over the years, cannot be allowed to detract from such sincerity. Well done sir. “It is a truth universally acknowledged,” that the practice of law is a game conceived by lawyers, played by lawyers, for the benefit of lawyers. The law, established on biblical, and some might
suggest Christian, principles is now just a game. The object, as with most games, is winning, in this particular context, by the skillful manipulation of language to force concession from the opponent. Your quoting the TWU Mission Statement is a good example. Your omission of substantial parts of the statement, would mislead the uninformed into believing that your quotation was the entire statement. Missing, amongst others, is the undertaking not to fornicate, and to adhere to Christian principles, the Ten Commandments,and “…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think
about such things.” Also those at TWU are admonished to remember that “The love of money is the root of all evil.” A commitment of this nature during formative years is likely to produce graduates who are eagerly recruited, not only because of the excellence of the training but because of their mores, demeanor and work ethic. The nursing program is a prime example. Similar to a computer—rubbish in, rubbish out. May it be acknowledged that the vast majority of us, almost without exception, have an incredulous, and horrified revulsion when we hear of sex offenders, the senseless abuse of the innocent or helpless, or murder, and so on? But, with-
in the rules of your game, the counsels deliberately, and wilfully, disassociate themselves from personal sentiment, and still strive to win the game, whilst strictly adhering to the rules. Mr. Hergott, why do you imagine that TWU graduates, possessing the attributes described, would be unable to disassociate themselves from their quintessential character, and fail to adhere to the rules? Mr. Hergott, the sincerity you assume, as sincerity often is when ill founded, is worthless. For example I’m certain a killer is totally sincere in his belief, that the death of his victim is a viable solution to his perception of his problem. As, indeed, perhaps was The Final Solu-
tion, if we are to believe the historical records, a sincerely endorsed tenet of the Third Reich. An argument might possibly be made that your arguments, are, at best, specious and spurious. Your governing body has given “the thumbs up,” as you so quaintly put it. A suggestion could be made or even advice be offered, that you stop wasting time and what could be interpreted as padding legal fees. Personally, I would welcome advice from a lawyer who was of the belief that, indeed, the love of money was the root of all evil. Maybe I am not alone. P. Herridge, West Kelowna
Call to lawyers: Think like lawyers To the editor: Mr. Hergott’s column in the April 24, 2014 Capital News requires a reply. Mr. Hergott, in his urging the public to “push the lawyers you deal with” to support an “uprising among the masses” by urging lawyers to support a motion that would bar graduates of Trinity Western University from practicing law in British Columbia, greatly oversimplifies a complex issue. Like most uprisings, what “the masses” are proposing is that the lawyers of British Columbia ignore the existing law in Canada and British Columbia, and the volumes of material that went into the Law Society of British Columbia’s decision.. That decision, based on the facts and the law as the Benchers perceived them to be, defeated a similar motion by a vote of 20 to 6. The Benchers are the Law Society’s governing body, elected by the mem-
bers, and charged with the responsibility of making these difficult decisions.… The issue the Benchers faced can be summed up as follows:.If the College of Teachers decision is still good law in Canada, and because Trinity Western is a private religious institution and therefore exempt from the requirements of the Human Rights Code of British Columbia from review of its faith based decisions, what Trinity Western is proposing is lawful.. The Benchers, the governing body of lawyers in British Columbia, cannot therefore forbid that which the law allows. The other issues the Benchers discussed included the following: Trinity Western has been graduating teachers, nurses, and undergraduates who have gone to existing law schools, and there has never been a complaint of discrimination by one of those gradu-
ates..Also, what the motion would propose is that the Law Society forbid an applicant to practice law in British Columbia on the grounds, not just of the faith of the applicant, but on the grounds of the faith of the school where the applicant received his or her education..This introduces a whole new requirement into the approval process..Law Societies, if they were to take this road, would become the body that would ensure that a prospective lawyer’s beliefs are in conformity with the beliefs of the Benchers, whatever those beliefs might be from time to time..I think it is safe to say there are a number of prominent lawyers and judges practicing today that might fail such a test, even though they have practiced for all their years of service, faithful to the oath they took as a barrister before they were called to practice. Also, if the Law Society of British Colum-
Gov’t service can’t cope To the editor: I am currently half way through my second year of apprenticeship training, and this is the first time I have been eligible for EI. I made my claim over a month ago, and I am yet to receive my claim. I am now carrying over my bills onto my credit cards…Any attempts at contacting the
government results in my call being disconnected: “Call volumes are too high to transfer my call.” I am amazed at the disorganization of this branch of the government. This is not a new service that is used by just a few people. Think about how many thousands of people may be effected by these delays. People budget and
depend on these services, and when there are delays we are left to our own devices to deal with them. I know that this is a constant topic of conversation both when I am in school, and when I am at work. Jesse Filion, Kelowna
bia were to ban graduates of Trinity Western from practicing in British Columbia, those graduates could still practice in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or the North West Territories, who have approved the admission or Trinity Western graduates. So rather than a call to clients to tell their lawyers how to think, I would rather a call to lawyers to do as the Benchers did in their deliberations, and to think like lawyers..Before a lawyer votes on a petition to initiate a “mass revolt,” I would hope that the lawyer would review all the material the Law Society’s Benchers reviewed. I would hope that they would consider the material carefully, and in the awareness that there are issues here that go beyond our gut level reaction to one small clause in a comprehensive community covenant..If, after reviewing the materi-

Foerster yet to face further Kelowna charges Guilty from A1 trial, it was revealed he had a significant amount of cash on him when he was arrested in Collingwood, and there was reference to disposable mobile phones being used to contact him. Once he was brought back to Kelowna cells, it was his half-brother and a sister who pleaded with him to be upfront about his role in the Van Diest murder. Other than the charges, very little else has been revealed about the senior Foerster’s role.
FURTHER CHARGES FOR STEPHEN FOERSTER
In the months ahead, Stephen Foerster will be back in court for two additional matters. Starting Nov. 24, he’s scheduled for a five-day trial in front of a judge alone for charges of break and enter, assault and unlawful confinement stemming from a Cherryville home invasion in 2004. Charges of sexual assault and unlawful confinement relating to a 2005 incident at Kelowna’s Garden of Eden will be tried in the same manner starting Dec. 1 and it will continue for eight days. Foerster has waived his right to a preliminary hearing in both matters.

Park decision to add $5.4 million to project cost Council from A1 going down 5-3. Mayor Walter Gray, and Couns. Luke Stake and Gail Given voted for the larger park option, while Couns. Andre Blanleil, Colin Basran, Mohini Singh, Gerry Zimmerman and Maxine DeHart voted against it. Coun. Robert Hobson, who lives in the area, excused himself because of a conflict of interest and did not take part in the discussion or the vote. In supporting the bigger park option, Blanleil and Basran both said a potential hotel that could be built on an adjoining piece of privately owned property will not be as intrusive on the park as some may feel. And they said putting a road between it and the waterfront park would

mean it would not be a waterfront hotel. They, along with Singh, both said they wanted to see the city build as big a park as possible, one that will attract people to the waterfront in the area. The proposed new park will link two smaller existing parks Abbott and Wall—at the north and south ends respectively. The 11 city owned properties are located on
the lakeshore just east of the South Pandosy commercial area. When Zimmermann said he was not in favour of carving any land off for development, the standing room only crowd in the galley at city hall applauded, prompting the mayor to tell them it was “a meeting, not a rally.” But that did not stop the crowd from applauding more as the debate went on.

Both Given and Stack questioned if the area square footage under the larger park option would in fact be nearly twice the size of the version staff had recommended, given the former included several “hard surface” areas such as roads, walkways and riparian areas. Given also noted that three-quarters of the participants at the charrette seemed to opt for a plan that included realigning Abbott Street. Like Stack, she also felt the public may not feel comfortable using public property that appeared to be part of a hotel development. But in the end, the vote was clear. After defeating Stack’s motion to accept the smaller park option, a vote to approve the alternative, with an amendment that the two northern lots not be sold off, passed unanimously. City staff will now
come with a further report in late June or July refining the costs and laying out a time frame for work. The work could be completed before the end of this council’s current mandate in December. Without selling the two properties, the cost of new park could surpass $5.4 million, money that the city has not yet set aside. Still, for those who have fought the city over the issue up until now, the outcome was seen as a victory. “Now that’s a plan,” said area resident Joy Lambrick as she left council chambers smiling. “It’s been a long struggle.” In 2011, the council of the day tried to present a plan for development of the land as both park and commercial development but strong public opposition scuttled that bid. awaters@kelownacapnews.com
KGH Auxiliary coffers ready to bloom
The inaugural Blossom Time Fair started in 1952 was so successful it has since become a 62-year tradition in Kelowna. This year’s fair takes place Friday, May 9, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Cottonwoods Care Centre, 2225 Ethel St. Since its inception, hospital auxiliary volunteers have raised more than $250,000 for the purchase of life-saving medical equipment and hospital furnishings. By working cooperatively, the Kelowna, Rutland, Winfield and Peachland hospital auxiliaries are optimistic this year’s public response will push them over their lofty goal to exceed the $20,000 milestone of 2012. “We rely on volunteer dedication which means, with the exception of a few operating expenses, every dime raised goes directly to patient care in the form of equipment or comfort care,” said Beth Cole-Jackson, chair of this year’s fair . Blossom Time Fair caters to the entire family with the sale of collectables, treasures and bake sale items now expanded to include the sale of plants and free planting advice from experts, ice cream, veggie plates, fresh baked pies, home-baking, china, jewelry, purses, antiques, books, puzzles, a barbecue, a kids’ fish pond and face painting.

have had many of my patients ask what it is best that they can lose their belly flab. There is a common misconception with the ideology of spot reduction, this is where one can lose weight on one specific part of their body by doing specific exercises. Some people think that if they do abdominal crunches or sit-ups, then they can lose their winter layer. This simply is not true. Though it will result in increased muscular tone to that area, the amount of superficial and intra-abdominal fat will not be altered in any way. It is virtually impossible to take one area of the body, train that muscle, and convert the surrounding fat into muscle tissue or, target that area for fat reduction. Excess fat deposition is largely influenced by hormones. Men and women have different concentrations of hormones, that is why men store fat differently than women. Males tend to store their excess fat on their bellies and flanks. This is largely the result of the presence of testosterone. Women will tend to deposit fat on their derrière and legs. This is due, in large part, to the presence of estrogen. In essence, the way we deposit our excess weight is physiologic-

ary artery disease. This is an important thing to remember. So how do we lose the belly? Well, clearly no such thing as spot reduction exists, so that leaves us with the old-time method of proper food selection, diet and exercise. One trend that I have seen in many of my patients over the last few years is the removal of wheat products from their diet. In these patients, I have seen the profound
and consistent loss of excess weight. A popular book entitled Wheat Belly, written by a cardiologist, it is a good resource for this way of thinking. He is well referenced in the book is very well researched. In addition to removing wheat from your diet, I suggest a diet of vegetables, fruit, lean meats and fish and avoidance of complex or starchy carbohydrates. Stay away from juices
and syrupy drinks. This should all be done in conjunction with a regular exercise routine consisting of at least three times a week for duration of 30 minutes. It can be as simple as walking, swimming, yoga, tai chi etc. Just make it part of your routine. This routine will mobilize free fatty acids and reduce your fat stores over all. The difference will be measured in inches, not pounds. As you burn
fat and increase muscle mass you may find that your weight stays largely the same. This is because muscle is heavier then fat. You will find that you will be burning fat and putting on more muscle mass with little change in overall weight. This recipe for success needs to be spiced with patience. Allow six weeks before the beginning of change to be noticed. On average, for the 35-year-old or older, it
takes this long for your physiology to shift from storing fat to burning it. Good luck in your quest for the summer body that you deserve. My mother used to say that you can live with the pain of discipline or disappointment. Each has an entirely different outcome.

Expect a strong year for tourism in Kelowna Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Summer 2014 is shaping up to be a very busy season, according to Tourism Kelowna’s Nancy Cameron who says hotel and motel bookings are up across the board. “It’s a very positive outlook for this part of the year,” said Cameron, the long-time chief executive officer of the organization. “We’ve been on a good build, but it has taken a while for the tourism industry overall to recover from the recession,” she added. Statistical analysis of the Central Okanagan’s tourism industry is done every five years by InterVISTAS group and figures from 2011 show the 2008 crash left tourism spending down just three per cent by the time the rebound was over. The deficit fell largely in restaurant and retail spending and, while the tourism organization does not have numbers to back the claim as yet, Cameron is sure the Central Okanagan has rebounded and then some. “The whole personality of Kelowna is really becoming quite exciting,” she said. “…We’ve got this amazing urban vibe and there’s just so much happening.” From new restaurants opening to the explosion of local theatre groups (seven in total) to the five wine trails (with 25 wineries), new agri-tourism ventures, golf courses and, of course, the beaches and lake, the area is offering something for everyone. Advertising launched in February and March, staggering messaging throughout Western Canada, Ontario and targeting the lesbian, gay, transgendered and bisexual community in Los Angeles. “We know it’s resonating because our website traffic is up 27 per cent over this same time last year,” Cameron said. Tourism Kelowna primarily targets destination golfers, wine enthusiasts and family vacationers, but the goal is to develop a brand strong enough that those targets are more of a behind the scenes marketing approach.

How to view your retirement B
aby boomers are changing the way society views traditional retirement. We are a large number of people heading into our senior golden years. There are many different ways to view retirement. Some people embrace retirement and look forward to slowing down and enjoying not having the work commitment on a day to day basis. Others miss the daily commitment of a job and the social involvement of being around other people. We will all face retirement someday. Retirement can be a planned event many years in advance or it can be a retirement forced on us due to lay off from our job or ill health. We should start preparing for retirement five years before it happens. It is a good idea to try living on a reduced income so you can financially anticipate the changes. In retirement, we may have a reduced income in retirement compared to our earning during our working years. An emergency fund is a financial security blanket. It helps us to handle unforeseen circumstances. Many types of expenses can arise unexpectedly, a car repair, a leaking hot water tank or a death of a family member or close friend can mean extra unexpected costs. A budget may not seem like much fun to plan for but a budget can reduce stress because we know where we are financially. Living within our financial means can be a kind and gentle way to live compared to overspending and not knowing if we can meet our financial obligations. If you have any debt in retirement, review what you are paying in interest

on medical expenses is a dollar not available for spending on other enjoyable things in retirement. During the working years, we rush through many of our activities. We can learn to slow down in retirement and focus on enjoying some of our daily activities. We can get more serious about cooking. We can spend more time on hobbies and perhaps a seldom done hobby can become something we look forward to on a daily or weekly basis. Review your housing costs to find out if it makes sense to keep your current house. Many people sell a large family home to downsize in retirement to free up available cash. The extra cash can be used for travel or to free up cash when living on a reduced retirement income. Many homeowners want to reduce their time, energy and costs associated with keeping a larger home.

FortisBC has joined a new collaboration with B.C. Crime Stoppers and BC Hydro designed to curb energy theft across the province. Crime Stoppers is now sharing anonymous information related to energy theft directly to the province’s two largest utilities in addition to law enforcement. This practice has been in place with BC Hydro since 2007. “This partnership will be an effective tool to detect the theft of energy in every corner of the province in a timely way. Theft not only costs British Columbians, but tampering with electrical and gas equipment is also dangerous for the public, first responders and utility employees,” said B.C. Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett. “For the average citizen, energy theft or power diversion is almost impossible to detect. What is usually reported to Crime Stoppers is the probable indicators of an illegal marijuana grow operation or a drug lab. These illegal operations often involve theft of energy bypasses that are a major danger to the public and utility employees,” added Rick Ekkel, president of BC Crime Stoppers. “Crime Stoppers provides FortisBC

This new agreement ensures that utilities across the province receive information about suspected theft sites so they can initiate their own investigations sooner.” BC Hydro reports that while electricity theft was historically concentrated in the Lower Mainland, it has expanded across the province. In the southern Interior region, where FortisBC delivers electricity service—65 per cent of electricity theft occurs in Kelowna. “Energy theft is a significant problem in B.C. It increases customer costs and is a major safety concern for the general public and our employees,” said Tom Loski, vice-president, customer service at FortisBC. “This collaboration will give the public more tools and allow us greater access to more timely information so we can better identify and investigate possible instances of energy theft.” If energy theft is suspected, call 1-800-222-TIPS to leave an anonymous tip. Tipsters do not have to identify themselves or testify in court.

Love can build a bridge W hen my father was dying of terminal cancer 23 years ago, my sister and I spent many months caring for him in the family home we grew up in. The final week of this journey had been very difficult and a decision was made to move him to the palliative care unit at the hospital here in Kelowna. As often comes during times of stress, not all the family were in agreement. Making these types of decisions for someone you love almost feels like a form of sacrilege. How do you make the “right ones,” as none seem to fit in a way that makes you feel good. I lay on my bed that night with nothing surging through me but guilt, an emptiness that seemed to flow from not knowing what was right and what was wrong, what was best for him and best for us. Is there ever a perfect answer? Bereft of knowing what to do, I took the unusual path at that time in my life to just surrender. I chose to let go to something greater than myself, not sure if it was even there, and to ask for help. That humble gesture, in the midst of seeming chaos, brought a very unexpected surprise. Immediately upon asking for guidance, any guidance, a complete vibration of love surrounded me that felt like I was actually being lifted off my bed. Words filled my being with such clarity, it was as though someone was sitting on the bed speaking directly to me. “Everything will be alright. Your dad is with us now. Let go.” There was no questioning it. It felt like truth through every fibre
of my being. I had crossed a bridge to a different place and there was absolutely no fear present. A feeling of such deep unconditional love Marjorie resonated around me, Horne that it could not be denied. I did not have to make a choice to allow it—it just engulfed me. Vulnerability opened the gate to this bridge. We can then choose to walk a little further and join with what is waiting there or choose to remain separate and alone. A connection is available to us that will bring incredible strength and intuitiveness. Reaching out and being willing to not know rather than turning in to the inevitable churning of our own thoughts and fears, we find peace. As we are aging or as we find ourselves or someone we love moving closer to death, we can become more willing, in the face of such imminent awareness, to open our hearts to something that is new. It happened in that instant as I lay on the bed and it happened again the day before dad died later that week. The hospital room was quiet, with all the family surrounding his bed. We had pushed him closer to the window, where on a cold November day, the sun had suddenly begun to shine with a refreshing brilliance. We wanted him to feel the warmth of its rays on his face and we put on his favourite song by the Mills Brothers and let it play softly in the background. Despite the fact that he was no longer verbally communicating with us, I felt his presence fully. I stood at the top of his bed, with both my hands cupped gently on either side of his head. In quietness, the energy of my
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
mom, my three sisters, my father and myself felt completely joined. I watched as a tear began to roll ever so gently from his right eye, very slowly making its way down his cheek to rest on the pillow. “Love is all there is” this new voice said clearly to me. And in that moment, I knew that both he and I had joined in the profoundness of that healing message. An incredible gift had passed between us, so soon before his death. The normally gruff exterior of my father was gone and peace was fully evident on his face and from his heart. I thought to myself that I wished for him that he could have known this sooner. Right then I made a decision to take this message and bring it into my life, to be more open and to not be so afraid. It has taken me many more years to fully realize how it’s this all encompassing love that we most fear. If attention and surrender are the banks through which wisdom flows, trust and truth are the river. As my husband and I toured the beauty of Sedona, Arizona, with a 70-year-old spiritual guide named Larry last week, his wisdom flowed openly to us as he spoke of the Earth, it’s people and the knowledge of the Hopi Tribe that had been passed on to him. We stopped at a quiet spot and a breathtaking view surrounded us. He looked lovingly out at the landscape in front of us and said, “People often ask me how I can remember all of these things that I share. I tell them…truth does not have to be remembered.” And on our journey we went, pondering the incredible wonder of it all. Marjorie Horne is president of Caresmart Seniors Consulting Inc.

Sun brand refreshed for 2014

Warren Henderson
STAFF REPORTER
A new alternate logo, a revitalized brand, and a refurbished clubhouse at the Apple Bowl—the Okanagan Sun is heading into the 2014 football season with an updated look and attitude. “It’s about the kids coming in here, feeling fresh and ready to go, and feeling like they have ownership of something,” Sun head coach Shane Beatty said. “It’s about a new start and new beginnings, and we hope a 2014 national championship. The kids just love it.” A concept initially devised by long-time Sun supporter Ron Harding, Beatty and the club unveiled a new logo and look this spring, which includes the letter O to be displayed on the helmets. And while the new, stylized logo will be prevalent this season, Beatty says it’s not meant to replace the original and highly recognizable Sun logo which dates back to the club’s first season of 1981. “We’ll always have the old logo, I mean it’s no different than when Oregon State puts OS on their helmets, but yet they’re still known as the Beavers,” said Beatty, who is heading into his second year as head coach. “We’ll go with the new O on the helmet, and we’ll have new brown pants and white jerseys, but we still have our old main logo in keeping with tradition. It’s just a nice alternative to have.” The team’s lock-

Spearheaded by local Sun supporters Eric Pardy and Ken Stober, Beatty said the locker room renovations are begin enthusiastically welcomed by the players. Beatty, who has coached at the NCAA Div. 1 level in the past, said creating a brighter, more professional look also serves as a strong recruiting tool for the Sun. “Anywhere you go if you’re at the Div. 1 level, you’re always competing with the Jonses,” he said. “Whether it be the stairs they just approved, or the trophy case, the emblem in the middle of the floor, the player’s lounge… it’s just awesome, it’s top notch for junior football.

Kelowna talent prevalent in bantam draft Raiders subdue Rattlers in senior lacrosse Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Central Okanagan players were a conspicuous bunch during the 2014 edition of the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft. There were more local players chosen last Thursday in Calgary than ever before in the history of the annual draft. In all, nine players born in 1999 who call either Kelowna or West Kelowna home, were selected by WHL teams, including a pair of Okanagan Hockey Academy teammates in the first round. OHA’s Grif-
Lucas Cullen fin Mendel was chosen 11th overall by the Kootenay Ice, while fellow blue liner Jonathan Smart was taken by his hometown Kelowna Rockets with the 22nd pick overall. Pursuit of Excellence centre Owen Hardy went
in the second round, 42nd overall to the Vancouver Giants. In the fourth round, POE defenceman Jake Harrison, from West Kelowna, was chosen by the Spokane Chiefs. In the fifth round, centre Lucas Cullen was the first of two Kelowna tier 1 Rockets to be selected as the Calgary Hitmen grabbed Cullen 95th overall. “I was pretty excited, it was a sigh of relief knowing that it actually happened,” said Cullen “(Calgary) is a great organization, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. It’s pretty cool to be
drafted and be a step closer to a dream of mine.” Cullen’s teammate, Kelowna tier 1 bantam defenceman Matt Alcorn, went in the ninth round to the Edmonton Oil Kings. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound Alcorn broke his arm in February and missed most of the final two months of the Rockets’ season, but returned just in time for the Western Canada Bantam Championships in Kelowna. “I’m very excited, just thrilled in so many ways to be drafted by Edmonton,” Alcorn said. “I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish my sea-
son, so have this happen is pretty amazing. I’m going to do everything now that I can and work hard to make it happen.” Other Kelowna players chosen were POE goaltender Liam Hughes in the seventh round by Edmonton, OHA forward Hayden Dick by the Kamloops Blazers in the seventh round, and OHA forward Jordan Robinson in the 10th round by the Saskatoon Blades. In all, Ryan Wade’s Kelowna-based POE program had eight players chosen in the draft, while Penticton’s Okanagan Hockey Academy had 12 players chosen.

There is no reason why our parents should have to get rid of all the things that make them happy. The research supports that pets are great for our positive mental health and connection. At Nurse Next Door, we recognize this and would certainly make sure that the care giver we assign to your parents truly enjoys pets as well. We want the care giver to enjoy all aspects of being with your parent, when the pet is important to the client it can be a connecting point for care giver and client. A mutual interest often connects people and connection is really important to our mental health and we at Nurse Next Door believe that whole heartedly. If your parent has mobility challenges we can support them to take walks with the care giver and pet . We can also take pets to appointments or even just some emotional support if needed, after all pets are family too.

The Kelowna Raiders are again proving to be the team to beat this season in the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League. On Friday at Memorial Arena, the Raiders dominated the Kamloops Rattlers 11-6 for their second win of the 2014 season. Kelowna out-muscled the Rattlers for loose balls, while rookie goalie Tanner Belsham shut down the speedy Kamloops forwards who managed to get in behind the Raider defence on many occasions. Standing out on defence with stellar games were Sean Blake and Cody Ridden. Skilled forward Luke Bailey was
Q A
Verico Compass Mortgage Group What are the determining factors in my ability to get a mortgage?
Each case is different, but generally Banks/lenders are looking at these four determining components: 1) Income - Do you have sufficient income to cover the monthly mortgage payment plus all your existing debt obligations (ie. car payment/student loans). Do you have an employer or are you self-employed? 2) Down payment - How much down payment do you have available? Down payment can be from own resources or gifted from a family member and can even be borrowed from a line of credit in some cases. Some lenders also provide an option where a portion of your down payment can be borrowed. Generally, a minimum of 5% down is required. 3) Credit Score - Is your credit score strong enough? Have you proven that you pay your loans, bills, and credit cards on time and agreed? Even if you have large balances on your credit card, make sure you at least make the minimum payment each month! 4) Property - Does the property you are wanting to mortgage fit within the lenders guidelines (ie, acgreage, farm, condo, residential home)? For further information, please get in touch if you have ANY questions. Remember our services are complimentary to you and we only get paid by the lender if we get you the mortgage you want!

Coyotes head to Alberta for CCBC championship The Okanagan College Coyotes are in Lethbridge for the Canadian College Baseball Conference’s year-end championship tournament which begins on Wednesday. The Coyotes concluded their 28-game regular season over the weekend at Elks Stadium and earned a split to finish with a 15-13 record. Saturday afternoon Marcus Drewry improved to 5-0 as the Yotes hung on for a 6-5 win over the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack. Drewry threw six solid innings, allowing two unearned runs, scattering six hits and struck out six. Saturday night the
Coyotes matched up with the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners. The clubs each traded a four run inning, the Coyotes in the bottom of the third, before the Mariners tied it in the top of the fifth. The teams each scored a run in the eighth, setting the tables for extra innings. In the top of the 11th the flood gates opened and the Mariners scored seven runs, securing a 12-5 victory. On Sunday the Coyotes matched up with the same two teams. Prior to the morning game the Coyotes honoured senior Garrett Wiese playing in his final regular season games. Wiese has started
all but four games over the course of his four years in the program. For the second consecutive day the Coyotes and Mariners played in extra innings and the Mariners claimed a 3-2 victory scoring the top of the 10th off reliever Taylor Thomas. Then the final game of the regular season against the Wolfpack, Joel Lamont earned a complete game shutout as the Coyotes claimed a 1-0 victory in a rain-shortened game. He allowed two hits and struck out seven. Fittingly, Wiese scored the winning run in his final regular season game.

Events help celebrate historic cultural heritage May is being recognized in Kelowna as Asian Heritage Month with a variety of activities planned to mark the occasion. The events kicked off last Tuesday with a performance by The Korean Drummers at the Rotary
Centre for the Arts. Asian Heritage Month has been celebrated in the United States since 1979. In Canada, the federal government officially designated May as Asian Heritage month in 2001. The local Asian Heritage Month celebration
started only recently in 2011. The chair of the 2014 Asian Heritage Month Committee, Dr. Qiang-Hua Meng, says the primary goal of Asian Heritage Month is to foster mutual understanding and respect across differ-
X CROSSWORD
ent cultural backgrounds and experiences. In particular, Asian Heritage Month aims to increase the visibility and acceptance of Asian cultures in the Okanagan Valley. As Dr. Meng points out, the Okanagan Valley has a rich cultural heritage that represents many Asian languages, cultures, and traditions. The diversity in the cultural heritage of the Okanagan Valley is highlighted in the organizational committee behind this year’s Asian Heritage Month. In total, five local societies have formed a partnership to host the multiple events and activities for Asian Heritage Month. These societies are the Okanagan Chinese Canadian Association (OCCA), the Intercultural Society of Central Okanagan (ISCO), the Okanagan Filipino Canadian Society (OFC), the Okanagan Korean Culture and Knowledge Society
(OKCK), and the Okanagan Sikh Temple and Cultural Society (Sikh Temple). Each are represented by the 2014 Asian Heritage Month Committee members Victoria Oppertshauser, Jin Park, and Jas Khunkhun. This year’s Asian Heritage Month features a history exhibition about Asian-Canadians in the Valley at the Okanagan Heritage Museum. Throughout the month of May, stories describing the experiences and contributions of local Asian-Canadians will be on display. As well, Asian Heritage month will include: • Movie nights featuring films about Asian-Canadians from 7 to 9 p.m. on May 14 and and 21 at the downtown Kelowna branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. • A Charity Performance at a local senior residence, Mission Villa, on May 10 . The OCCA art
troupe will perform for the senior residents to celebrate Asian Heritage • Family Sundays featuring Asian craft-making workshops throughout the afternoons of May 11, 18 and 25 at the Kelowna Art Gallery • Various cultural performances on the evenings of May 10 and 16 at the Kelowna Community Theatre or Rotary Centre for the Arts • The Asian Heritage Month’s Community Showcase and closing ceremony on May 24, from 5 to 9p.m. at the New Life Auditorium, 2041 Harvey Ave. This ceremony includes greetings from local community leaders, a multicultural stage show, a history exhibition, a discussion session, interactive booths, and Asian cuisine.

Bringing play back this summer
Spring is finally here and with it, the sounds of laughter and kids playing are in the air once again. Bike rides, shooting hoops and playground fun are just some of the ways kids get active in the spring and summer months. It’s a good thing too, because recent reports show that Canadian kids just aren’t getting enough exercise. According to the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology, kids should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every single day. Unfortunately, for many children that simply isn’t the case. This spring and summer, consider enrolling your child in an organized sport or physical activity, such as soccer, baseball, swimming or cricket. Freida Rubletz, a regional manager for the Canadian Tire Jumpstart sports participation program, says in addition to the physical benefits, organized play also helps to increase self esteem and self confidence; develop leadership skills; improve academic performance; and teach healthy lifestyle habits “As important as physical activity is for our young people, the reality is that one in three families in Canada can’t afford to enrol their kids in organized sports or physical activity programs,” said Rubletz. “Charities like Jumpstart remove some of those financial pressures so all kids can have the opportunity to get in the game.” Help bring back play in your community this May by supporting the Jumpstart Red Ball campaign. Head into your local Canadian Tire in Kelowna or West Kelowna and donate $2 in exchange for your own Jumpstart Red Ball, representing the gift of play you are giving to a deserving child. One hundred per cent of your donation helps kids in your community. To learn more about how Jumpstart is making an impact in your community or to make a donation, visit canadiantire.ca/ jumpstart.

Ron Cannan lence with Canadians across the country. The Moment of Silence will follow the National Day of Honour Parade in Ottawa, where a single gunshot will signal two minutes of national silence at 1:30 p.m. EDT to reflect upon the sacrifices made during the mission. Men and women from various units that served in Afghanistan and veterans and civilians that have defended freedom around the world will participate in the National Day of Honour Parade. A large number of youth are also attending and engaging in this important day. A Youth Remember Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan online learning feature and further material for educators and youth organizations is available at www.veterans.gc.ca/ eng/remembrance/information-for/educators/
learning-modules/afghanistan. The National Day of Honour will also feature two fly-bys operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force, a traditional and ceremonial form of aerial salute. Since Sunday, Canadians have been able to follow a 19-member relay team, injured in Afghanistan, who symbolize the resolve of Canadians to persevere over hardship. The team is carrying the last Canadian flag flown in Afghanistan in a specially-built baton to Parliament Hill, which will be passed to the last task force commander who will present it to the chief of defence staff, who will then present the baton to the prime minister. Canadians and visitors will be able to take a closer look at the baton this fall when it will be placed in the Hall of Honour in the Centre Block on Parliament Hill. Constituents can follow the relay at www.SoldierOn.ca. The Afghanistan Memorial Vigil will be on display in the Hall of Honour on May 9 before it travels across Canada
and to Washington, DC. The Memorial Vigil contains 190 plaques representing 201 fallen who had served under Canadian command which were formerly part of the Kandahar Air Field cenotaph. Canadians are being encouraged to post their own personal message of appreciation for the troops on the National Day of Honour website at www. app.forces.gc.ca/ndohjndc/national-day-of-honour.html. Since October 2001, more than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces members were deployed to Afghanistan to work with Allies and the Afghan government to promote security, development, including education and infrastructure, and good governance so that Afghans could build a viable, stable, secure country. Those who served in
Afghanistan did so with distinction and honour and the National Day of Honour is our way of recognizing their sacrifice. For the rest of us it is our abiding duty to remember what they did and why. As the prime minister noted, we owe them and their families a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. The proclamation introduced by the prime minister on March 17, 2014, reads as follows: “Whereas Canadians, both at home and abroad, have honourably, courageously and loyally served Canada by participating in the Afghanistan mission from 2001 to 2014; “Whereas March 31, 2014 marks the end of the Canadian military mission in Afghanistan; “Whereas the strength and courage demonstrated by our men and

HOWARD, CLYDE JAMES Father, teacher, coach, mentor, friend, the crotchety old guy barking over the fence at you for not wearing a bicycle helmet. Clyde took his coaching to a whole new level on April 30th. He will be remembered. Born in Vancouver and raised in Kitimat, Clyde studied at UVIC and took a teaching position with School District 23 at the tender age of 20. He taught Social Studies and P.E. and the leadership program with passion. His passion extended to coaching several sports. His fondest memory as a coach was being able to coach his daughter Chynna in high school and winning a provincial club championship with her. Although Clyde will mostly be remembered as Coach Howard or Captain Canada his proudest title comes from Chynna: “The Best Dad In The World.” Predeceased by his parents Bob and Violet, Clyde is survived by his daughter Chynna and four sisters, Melanie, Jay, Nadine and Sherri. A Celebration of Clyde’s Life will be held on Canada Day at his home. Details will be announced at a later date.

NISHI, DOUGLAS YUGI
March 15, 1948 – April 17, 2014 Doug was born to Sam and Jessie Nishi in Kelowna General Hospital. He grew up on the family property on Gordon Road, now the site of K.L.O. Middle School. With the Shiosaki cousins just down the road, Doug enjoyed family times, especially raising German Shepherds and the New Year’s feasts. Doug studied Judo while very young, under the tutelage of his father, Sam, who held one of the most advanced standings in Judo in western Canada. Doug attended the little Mission Creek School on the corner of K.L.O. and Benvoulin Roads, then went on to Dr. Knox, and Kelowna Secondary Schools. He met his future wife, Blanche, at the K.L.O. and Gordon Rd. school-bus stop, having gotten to know her sister, Marjorie, in Chemistry 11 class. They and their friends enjoyed snow-skiing at the then just-developed Big White, water-skiing on the lake, and camping beside it. Doug’s big love was for cars….the more “muscle” the better. High-school sweethearts, he and Blanche spent their courting years “on the circuit”, that is, City Park-Bernard Ave.-the A & W-Harvey Ave.-City Park….or the reverse!-usually meeting up with friends at “The Dubs”. Doug loved working on his cars and kept everything clean and tidy, and which his cars and home absolutely reflected! Doug left Kelowna in 1967 to take courses in Vancouver, and then spent his working years in Management in Education, Marketing, and Administration with IBM. Doug and Blan were married May 16, 1970, and following Doug’s IBM transfers, lived mostly in Vancouver and Regina. They returned home to Kelowna regularly for holidays, and returned to stay in West Kelowna Estates in 1993. Sadly, soon after their return, Doug began to show the symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease, familiar to his family and in-laws as his father and his mother-in-law, and then his sister and other relations suffered from the same disease. It was particularly hard on Doug as he “knew what was coming.” Blan was able to care for Doug with the help of family members until 2005, when he went to live in Brookhaven, MacIntosh unit. In 2009, Doug was moved to Ethel Glen unit in Cottonwoods. Sadly, while Doug was at Brookhaven, Blanche, too, developed symptoms of dementia. It was much more rapid than Alzheimer’s, and she, too, was moved into Ethel Glen so that they could still spend some time together. Doug was pre-deceased by his father and mother, Sam and Jessie Nishi, his wife, Blanche, and his sister, Florence. His is survived by his brother, Ron (Rosie) Nishi, niece, Dawne, brother-in-law, Shun Ishiguro, nephew Kevin (Raelene), Lauren and Justin, niece Andrea Ishiguro (Eric Ronay), Gabriel and Evan, his in-laws Marjorie (John) Beales, Johnny (Joanie), and Benjamin, Meredith, David (Karen), and Annabelle and Helena, and Graham Beales, and Mary (Bruce) Thompson, Laura Martini (Ryan), and Scott Thompson, and many cousins. A sincere thank-you to Doug’s caregivers in both Cottonwoods and Brookhaven. You special care-givers know who you are! ---your caring for Doug and support of his family members has been appreciated so much. A very heart-felt thank-you again to Nola Schweitzer, whose caring warmth befriended Doug over the last four years. No service will be held at this time: a gathering in memory of Doug’s life will be held at a later date. Please make any donations in Doug’s memory to research on Alzheimer’s Disease, or the charity of your choice. Arrangements in care of Springfield Funeral Home, with thanks for their many years of support of families with dementia. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

more sales results My boss Jeff recently threw me a “Annies Home Party” after I had gone missing for a few stress filled days and boy was he surprised at how many people showed up! He said it was the busiest day the store has ever had, I’m thinking it was because so many people in Kelowna were so supportive of getting me back to my scratch post here at Buckerfields they just had to tell me personally. I also think it was due to the ad in the Capital News as I saw the ad up at the store, I hear they go to over 46,000 homes and businesses in the Kelowna area and believe me it seemed like they were all in the store at one time or another that day!! I would like to apologize to the young girl I took a swipe at. I was having a rough day....sorry! Thank you all for making this a very special day for me. Annie the Buckerfields Cat

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.

You will definetley be attracted to Kitans looks. She is still getting used to her surroundings, but warms up when cuddled. A new forever home would be just perfect for her (sooner than later we hope), so she can settle in and become the best kitty she can be. Kitan gets along with other cats, so please ask the staff to set up a meet and greet with her.
