Another Westside box store closure

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

Staples Canada has confirmed West Kelowna’s branch will be one of approximately 225 North American locations to close by the end of next year. Staples will also be the fourth West Kelowna big box store to shut down in the last two years. Westbank First Nation Chief Robert Louie said he was a bit shocked to find out Staples was pulling out of its Westside location. “I am concerned,” said Louie. “Staples has been, I believe, a good corporate citizen in the area. They’ve provided good service; I feel sorry for their employees.” Louie said he has taken time to examine what is happening on WFN land with regard to the closures of several big box stores, including Zellers, Future Shop, and now Staples. “Despite the closure of Staples, I feel…the economy is still picking up.” He said Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters, Fenders Automotive, Stickle & Strawn Optometry, Pizza Hut and Freeride Boardshop are examSee Closure A14

Guilty plea reduces sentence for senior Foerster Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

ter the fact. The 60-year-old, the court learned Wednesday, went to great lengths to help his son Matthew Foerster escape police scrutiny for five months after his Halloween 2011 slaying of Armstrong teen, Taylor Van Diest. But, said Crown counsel, as he laid out his argument for the sentence, the fact the senior Foerster arranged to plead

guilty to the crime shortly after a preliminary hearing worked in his favour. Justice Peter Rogers agreed to the sentence, which was presented as a joint submission from Crown counsel and defence, noting that if he had his way, he’d have aimed for a slightly longer term of imprisonment. “Mr. Foerster, knowing that

Matthew was a killer, that he killed a defenceless girl, and he killed her at random, (sends) him to Collingwood, Ontario, where, for all he knows, he’ll kill again,” said Rogers, as he rendered the sentence. “What Matthew Foerster did was just cold and Stephen Foerster knowingly facilitated a cold killer to be at large. That’s worrisome.”

Foerster remained stoic in the prisoner’s box as the proceedings rolled out much of Wednesday morning, but when he was offered an opportunity to speak later that afternoon he took it. “I would like to apologize to the Van Diest family

Apple Triathlon named national elite-level race Organizers expecting big names and big crowds for Paralympic qualifier and national sprint event. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

How do you like them apples, organizers seemed to ask as they unveiled two giant apple-shaped buoys and a host of updates and changes to Kelowna’s signature sporting event—the Apple Triathlon. Kelowna will be the national championship for the elite-level sprint-distance triathletes this year and a Paralympic qualifying event, although the city will miss out on the national championships for the Olympic event, the biggest event in the sport. Staged two weeks before The International Triathlon World Triathlon Grand Final in Edmonton, however, organizers of the Apple Triath-

lon say they’re hoping the race serves as a warm-up for some big name international athletes. “We’re expecting athletes from a number of different countries to come, do their travelling, get oriented to the time zones and the climate. So we could have a very full and exciting field out this year,” said organizer Richard Montgomery, a lawyer with Montgomery Miles by trade. Run entirely by volunteers, the Apple draws $8 to $10 million in tourism spin-offs for the Central Okanagan annually, but consistently struggles to fill its volunteer compliment, trouble which has, at times, threatened to cancel the event. This year organizers are hoping to head the

turmoil off at the pass by launching sign-up for the 1,000 volunteer positions on the Apple website early. The City of Kelowna is also developing a program to help support the society in this regard in years to come. Working with RC Strategies, event development supervisor Mariko Siggers said the city has had the volunteer-support database on its radar for some time and hopes to launch within the next couple of months, helping some of the events on the calendar in Kelowna this year. The triathlon has also traditionally partnered with the business community for financial backing and has made a profitable connection with BC Tree Fruits. “…It’s one of those events that allows us to really showcase the valley,” said Fred Steele,

TRY an apple—Fred Steele, president of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association, and Richard Montgomery, Apple Triathlon president, got together Tuesday to announce the latest twists and turns in the race and the corporate sponsorship the pair have put together to hold it. president of BC Tree Fruits. The apple growers have provided a bag of apples to the athletes on the podium in years gone by and use the event to highlight the Sunrise apple, a sweet fall varietal available from early August to mid-September.

“It gives us a chance, as well, to really showcase the fruit and the things that we produce to a worldwide audience,” said Steele. The fruit growers will make an even bigger splash of their participation this year with two enormous inflatable

apples, which will be used in place of the usual red buoys. The Apple Triathlon attracts 1,500 participants and this will be the 32nd race. The triathlon was initiated by John Hindle, a former mayor of the City of Kelowna, and it hosted

the very first world championships in the sport in 1988. The event was unofficial, but precipitated the formation of the International Triathlon Union and the first official World Championships in France in 1989. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Longtime Westside civic politician succumbs to cancer Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

One of the two men credited with bringing the Westside together as one community, a move which eventually led to the creation of the District of West Kelowna as a municipality, has died. Aaron Dinwoodie passed away Tuesday night in hospital in Vancouver after a short battle with cancer. He was 54. Dinwoodie, a polarizing figure for some in regional politics in the Central Okanagan during his four terms as a Central Okanagan Regional District director—the first two representing Westbank and the second two as one of three directors representing the consolidated Westside electoral area—sat on the CORD board from 1996 to 2007. In 2002, he and then Lakeview electoral area director Len Novakowski joined the two previously separate electoral areas into one and the com-

Another local politician who worked closely with Dinwoodie for years was Kelowna city councillor and long-time CORD board chairman Robert Hobson. He remembered Dinwoodie Wednesday as a “very intelligent and resourceful guy who was passionate about the Westside.” “He was very good at interacting with other politicians from other levels of government and he was very good at lobbying to get things,” said Hobson. In addition to his work on the regional district board, Dinwoodie also served as president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities for a term, a position that helped him lobby not only for his own community but also for other B.C. municipalities when it came to dealing with the provincial and federal governments.

Hobson said Dinwoodie will be best remembered for his work on behalf of Westside residents. “He was involved in quite a lot of projects and he knew how to get things done,” said Hobson. Following his loss to Neis in the mayoral election in 2007, Dinwoodie was out of public life for a few years before attempting a comeback in 2011 with a run for Westside regional district director. He lost that race to Jim Edgson. After that, he returned to private business, spending a lot of time in the Philippines, where he had a wife, young child and an export business. He is also survived by children from a previous marriage here in the Central Okanagan. In recent years Dinwoodie worked with a group of developers who were unhappy with how they felt the District of West Kelowna dealt with development proposals as he split his time between Canada and the Philippines.

Bravery awards honour heroic efforts to save a life Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

A Kelowna woman was given the second highest bravery award in Canada this week. She was joined by 11 other people who were honoured by the Royal Canadian Humane Association for their heroic efforts to try and save the life of a woman whose vehicle plunged into the frigid waters of Wood Lake in December 2012. Kelowna’s Cindy Rogers was awarded the

silver medal for bravery, the highest award out of 12 residents who put their lives on the line to try and rescue the woman, who succumbed to injuries suffered when her Jeep left the old Highway 97 next to Wood Lake and was submerged in about two metres of water. When she arrived on the scene of the accident, Rogers’ actions were immediate. “I just thought if someone is in the car I have got to get them out,” said Rogers after returning to

Faced with that situation again, I would do the same thing.” After repeated attempts to get the woman out, Rogers began suffering from severe hypothermia and had to be helped from the water by friend and co-worker Corstiaan Pannekock, who was awarded an honourary certificate for his efforts. But it was Rogers who received the highest award of those who tried to help that night.

All three, along with truck driver Jamie Andrews and residents Kevin Hiebert and Donald St. Pierre were honoured with bronze medals as they also entered the lake. “A group of passing motorists stopped and attempted to get at the submerged vehicle by entering the lake,” said Berghuys. “The rescuers attached a rope to an 18-wheeler and the Jeep was almost pulled out of the water when the rope broke and it slid back in.” Pannekock was among a group of people who stayed on the shore and helped the rescuers who entered the lake, all of whom suffered some form of hypothermia.

More than 30 people in all were honoured for different heroic feats. Rogers says the ceremony added some closure to a difficult chapter in her life. “It took me a year to be able to start talking about what happened and I’m still not over it,” she said. “It was good to hear all these stories from the ceremony. It’s a good reminder that there are good people out there and it gives me hope that if I was ever in the same situation, there would be people fighting to save my life.” The other honourary certificate recipients were Dan Hindle, Angela Mastracci, Wyatt Oliver and Darby Taylor. kparnell @kelownacapnews.com

“I felt (the apology) was really pathetic’ Plea from A1 for prolonging the investigation…they’ve suffered more than anybody should,” Foerster said. His words didn’t sway Marie Van Diest’s belief that the Foersters lacked remorse for the crimes they committed against her family. “I felt (the apology) was really pathetic,” the mother of Taylor Van Diest said outside the Kelowna courthouse. “I think the thing he was sorry for is that he couldn’t go forward with trial, it would have just cost him too much. I think that’s why he decided to plead the way he did. He just didn’t want to fork out any of his dwindling income.” The Foersters, she said, belong where the courts have sent them. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and in this case it’s true,” she said. “I think that they’re both cowards and they’re both deviants, and neither of them have a place in society.” Those five months when police searched for Taylor’s killer, she said, were excruciating for both her family and the community at large, which felt their safety stripped. Crown counsel Chris Balison explained to the court how the elder Foerster, acted swiftly to help his son escape police detection after a sketch of his son was released a

month after Taylor died. Around 1,250 tips were offered to police in the weeks in November 2011, and at least 30 of which pointed to Matthew Foerster. Some of those tips came from the Foersters’ friends and family, who were also turning to elder Foerster for answers. “There was certainly no secret in the local area and in the Foerster family…that RCMP were investigating Matthew Foerster,” said Balison. In one case, Balison said a long-term friend asked Stephen Foerster about his son’s connection to Taylor Van Diest’s murder, and in reply they were told: “If he’s guilty, he’s guilty. If he’s not, he’s not.” Behind the scenes, Foerster was less blasé, apparently feverishly working to keep his son hidden from police. In November two women packed up Matthew Foerster’s Lumby apartment, and Stephen went shortly thereafter to collect the boxes. He asked a long-time friend to help him purchase a new identity for his son, and for $500 he came up with a BCAA card, driver’s licence, old bank card and SIN number that Foerster used to move to Collingwood, Ont. Once there, the two communicated through two pay-as-you-go mobile phones they’d pur-

chased. Balison made reference to three calls made through the phones, where the father-son duo discussed use of the purchased identity, the police investigation, methods to avoid detection and eventually plans to buy a second new identity. The type of pressure they were facing from police was also outlined in those conversations. Foerster found a tracking device on one of the

family cars and the police were regularly dropping in with questions. They were both arrested on the same day in April 2012, Stephen at his Cherryville home and Matthew in Collingwood, ON. Matthew is serving a life sentence without opportunity for parole for the next 25 years. Stephen started his sentence immediately. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

OUTSIDE the Kelowna courthouse Wednesday, Marie Van Diest said she was happy to be rid of the Foersters. Father Stephen Foerster was sentenced to three years in prison, less time served, for the charge of accessory after the fact, relating to the 2011 murder of Taylor Van Diest by his son, Matthew.

New finance director for college Okanagan College’s new director of finance won’t have issues figuring out how a B.C. post-secondary institution handles its accounts. Ann Johnson is an eight-year veteran in the same role at Vancouver Community College, having served as that organization’s director of finance since 2006. She also brings a wealth of private-sector experience to the role at Okanagan College, which she will be starting in early July. Before joining VCC, she worked with a startup logistic company that developed into a business with $100 million in annual revenue. “The opportunity to come to the Okanagan was one I couldn’t resist,” said Johnson. “The area is a second home for us, and I have great respect and interest in Okanagan College.” Johnson will be replacing Chi-Fui Chong, who is retiring after six years at Okanagan College. He came to Kelowna from Calgary where he held a similar role at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. “We’re pleased with Ann’s decision to join us,” says Okanagan College’s vice-president, finance and administration Bob Eby. “She comes with many years of post-secondary experience in efficiently managing resources to maximize the student experience while ensuring financial sustainability.”

Snelson seeking a new lawyer Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Neil George Snelson is in need of a new lawyer. The man charged with the 1993 killing of Jennifer Cusworth made his first appearance in a Kamloops courtroom Monday and those assembled learned he’s seeking new legal counsel. Lawyer Wade Jenson had represented Snelson since his 2009 arrest, and even saw him through the recent appeal of his 2011 conviction for manslaughter and the venue change that moved the trial out of Kelowna. That last court process is what put Jenson in the position of no longer being able to represent Snelson.

“I regrettably informed Mr. Snelson I had to withdraw my services,” said Jenson, explaining that his Kelowna practice is too busy for him to take leave to Kamloops for a month. “I’m continuing to assist him as he finds new counsel.” No word on who Snelson’s new lawyer will be just yet, but the change in tack will likely have scheduling implications. Crown counsel Sarah Firestone appeared in court Monday and said she had no information on when Snelson’s upcoming trial would be scheduled, although she said that he will be back in a Kamloops courtroom May 26. Snelson was granted an appeal last December when the Court of Appeal ruled that the trial judge

erred by showing the jury a portion of video where Snelson can be heard telling a police officer that he hadn’t yet decided how he was going to plead to the charges he was facing. Jenson appealed the judge’s decision to show that portion of video evidence, noting it was prejudicial. Jennifer Cusworth, 19, was found in October 1993, beaten and strangled in a ditch off Swamp Road. The case went cold for 15 years, until police arrested Snelson, now 47, in 2009. He was charged with first degree murder, but the jury found him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter. DNA evidence revealed he had sex with the teen the night she died. His retrial will be for the charge of manslaughter.

Okanagan men’s group replicates concept made popular in Australia Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

A local resident is trying to bring to the Okanagan a men’s group movement, which has grown substantially in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Art Post, founder of Okanagan Men’s Sheds, first heard about the men’s sheds concept from his daughter-in-law, who is from Australia. The idea is to give men in the community— especially those who are retired—a group to meet with regularly to work on individual or group projects, but also to socialize with other group members. Those projects may include boat building, car restoration, wood carving, leather work, cooking classes or photography. But, according to Post, there isn’t a limit to the possibilities. “The whole secret success (of) it is that the

guys who are in the room decide what it is that their group is going to be doing,” said Post. According to Post, shed is a term that refers to workshop in Australia. He said men’s sheds organizations can provide health benefits as they allow members to be social, productive and maintain an active body and mind. “The worst thing that guys can do, and it’s all too common, is just sit in front of the TV,” said Post. “This can…give them an alternative. Instead of sitting there with a bottle of beer in front of the TV, watching reruns of old movies, (they can) get out and make birdhouses for the conservation group, or just do something with the guys to keep busy.” Internationally, men’s sheds associations have adopted the slogan, “shoulder to shoulder,” meaning men are often better at expressing their feelings while working on a project, shoulder

The Australian Men’s Shed Association’s website suggests a lack of communication with others may result in loneliness, depression or even relationship breakdown. “Becoming a member of a men’s shed gives a man that safe and busy environment…in an atmosphere of old-fashioned mateship,” states the website. According to Post, there are more than 1,000 sheds currently operating throughout Australia. The Okanagan Men’s

Sheds Association was formed and registered as a non-profit society in B.C. in July 2013. The group is in the process of applying for certification as a charitable organization with the Canada Revenue Agency. Currently, there is only one fully operational men’s shed in Canada, which is located in Winnipeg; however, Post said several others are in the process of starting up men’s sheds in various cities across the country. The biggest challenge for the local organization has been finding adequate funding and gathering members. “What we’ve done in the past year especially is reach out through the support groups and health authorities and municipal levels…do they see a need for this type of an operation in B.C.? “And it’s an overwhelming: Yes. Lots of enthusiastic acceptance… but nobody has put any dollars in the bank yet.” The long-term goal is to have a set location with permanent equipment, and a group of men that come and go as they please while working on projects that may be beneficial to the community. The group will be hosting a meet and greet today at Branch 55 Senior Centre on Gray Road in Rutland, from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information about Okanagan Men’s Sheds, contact Art Post at 250-717-1575, or okmshed@gmail.com. wpaterson @kelownacapnews .com

Letnick to alter proposed amendments to ALR B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he decided to change the proposed law to alter how farmland is managed in B.C. after hearing from the public and the province’s agricultural sector. In a statement issued Tuesday, Letnick, MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country and a former B.C. agriculture minister who has only been on the job this time for a month, called the feedback he quickly gathered after replacing Pat Pimm in portfolio as “diverse as the province itself.” “The amendments allow the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) chair

Norm Letnick or regional panel to refer applications to the ALC’s executive committee, if the chair determines that a decision could have substantial impact on the ALR,” said Letnick. The executive committee consists of the chairman and the six vicechairs, one from each region.

He added criteria will be clearly defined in regulation and could include applications with inter-regional significance, major land or large infrastructure considerations, new types of applications that have not been considered before or when the local panel determines it is best heard by the provincial committee. Under Pimm, the province proposed dividing the province into two separate zones, protecting farmland in areas like Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan, but giving farmers in other areas more flexibility when it came to development proposals. Letnick said the gov-

ernment received many complaints and concerns, some of which focused on food security, and that was why he proposed changes to the bill. “Bill 24 also is being amended to clearly outline, in priority order, the criteria the commission must consider in all land-use decisions in zone 2 (the North, Interior and Kootenays),” said Letnick. “This priority list will begin with whether the ALC considers the proposal to meet with the purposes of the commission, namely the preservation of agricultural land, encouraging farming and enabling farm use on agricultural land. “All other factors

Luke Stack and Gail Given voted for the smaller park option, while Couns. Andre Blanleil, Colin Basran, Mohini Singh, Gerry Zimmerman and Maxine DeHart voted against it. Coun.

dip them in a 10 per cent bleach solution, one part bleach to 10 parts water. If the medium is questionable, heat in the oven at 150 F for three hours. This process will pasteurize rather than sterilize so as to not cook the life out of the medium. Also, keep all your tools clean.

HUMIDITY

Humidity is quite important when germinating most seeds. You should have at your disposal a misting nozzle or at least a misting bottle for watering in the early stages and covering the seed tray with a ‘mini greenhouse’ is helpful at the beginning.

PLANTING DEPTH

A good rule of thumb is to cover the seed only as deep as the thickness of the seed and when in doubt don’t cover at all.

When I plant small seeds I just let them sit on the surface (begonias, lobelias, petunias). With larger seeds I make a small indentation with the blunt end of a pencil for the seed and when the initial misting takes place the soil sloughs in to cover adequately (cabbage, geraniums, tomatoes). Growing your own bedding plants from seed is an enjoyable part of gardening. The main problem is you usually end up with way more plant material than you require. The good thing is most of us have friends and neighbours always willing to take the surplus off our hands.

Linda Ross CONTRIBUTOR

I could write a book about what it has been like to live with multiple sclerosis for 39 years. It has been an incredible rollercoaster ride of continuous ups and downs living with MS, a disease that affects the nervous system. Any part of the body that is operated by nerves can be functionally changed by MS. With me, I have had trouble with my hearing, my vision, the feeling in my skin, my motor functions, such as walking and handwriting or keyboarding. I also have chronic fatigue and chronic nerve pain. While it has not been easy dealing with this disease, I have discovered many ways to make my life easier. A few years ago I tried going to the gym. I was apprehensive at first. I knew I would be among a bunch of healthy, buff exercisers, but I began slowly, walking on the treadmill, working on the weight machines. I discovered that exercise helped reduce my neurologic pain. My legs strengthened, and my whole body began to feel better. Behind our home is a trail that, for years, I never walked. I thought I couldn’t do it. I decided to attempt going down this path as far as I could. I walked beside my bike, but I would hop on and ride when my legs got too tired. Eventually, I was able to venture out without the bike, which by this time had become more of a moral support than anything. It got to the point where I would challenge myself with further and further distances. I can’t tell you how emotionally satisfying it became to test my body and have it respond so well. I was thrilled. One of the most difficult parts of my journey with MS has been the sudden onset of chronic pain that began well into my second decade with the disease. Daily living was disheartening and I did not look forward to waking up in the morning. Sleep was my only respite from the pain. After a lot of trial and error I was prescribed with a medication that eased my suffering. One tablet, to me, is like drinking a couple of beers. One thing I did notice was that I had much more energy since taking the medication. I believe this is due to the feeling of euphoria with not having chronic pain. What a blessing. In the last year or so I have been socializing at coffee meetings organized by the MS Society in Kelowna. Now that I have friends with MS I have discovered how exciting it can be to talk to someone who totally understands what I am going through, and I now feel I can help others who are newly diagnosed. I like to show them, by example, there is hope. Linda Ross lives with multiple sclerosis in Kelowna.

Services upgrade of $18 million for Telus

Telus is making a significant investment in service upgrades for Kelowna and West Kelowna. Telus will spend $17 million in Kelowna this year to increase available Internet speeds and connect more homes and businesses to high-speed Internet, expand the reach -of its Internet-based TV service Optik TV, and enhance wireless capacity and coverage . For West Kelowna, the investment amounts to $1 million in the district to expand coverage of the world’s fastest wireless technology, 4G LTE as well as extend the reach of Optik TV, increase available Internet speeds and connect even more local homes and businesses to ghigh-speed Internet. “The demand for wireless and wired communications services has grown exponentially in Kelowna over the last year,” said Steven Jenkins, Telus general manager for

the Southern Interior. “This significant $17 million investment will connect smartphone users and businesses to the fastest wireless technology available in the world today, called 4G LTE, while connecting them with faster and more Internet services. “As Kelowna continues to grow as a home for businesses big and small, this investment will enable them to operate locally while competing globally.” “Internet access has quickly become indispensable for our day-today lives, and demand for wireless service is growing across the province,” said Premier Christy Clark, MLA for Kelowna-Westside. “For business, research, communication, and entertainment, this investment will make a real difference in Central Okanagan.” For West Kelowna,

City council adopts 2.49% tax increase Kelowna city council approved the final 2014 budget on Monday, with a municipal tax increase of 2.49 per cent. A tax rate of 2.49 per cent translates into an increase of $42.13 for the owner of an average $451,350 (assessed value) single-family Kelowna home. According to the city, taxation accounts for 25 per cent of City of Kelowna revenues for 2014, with 53 per cent coming from sources such as grants, reserve funds, fees and charges. The 2.49 per cent net property tax increase maintains the tax increase approved by council following its provisional budget deliberations in December . The city’s says its 2014 Financial Plan continues to provide for the services, infrastructure and amenities expected by the citizens of Kelowna in a conscientious and cost-effective manner.

Jenkins said the demand for wireless services has grown exponentially. “This significant $1 million investment means residents and businesses right here will have greater access to the services they depend on to conduct business and connect with friends and family across Canada. “Expect to see our team members working throughout the summer and into the fall installing new wireless sites and completing upgrades to expand the reach of high-

speed Internet and Optik TV,” said Jenkins. The investment is part of an overall commitment by Telus to spend $2.8 billion in B.C. from 2014 through 2016 upgrading Internet services. By the end of 2016, Telus’ investment in operations and infrastructure across the province since 2000 will exceed $40 billion. Since 2000 Telus has paid income, payroll, property, sales and other taxes totalling more than $3.2 billion to provincial

and municipal governments in B.C., helping to support services in communities across the province. “Our philosophy: We Give Where We Live, is exemplified by our Telus family of employees and retirees donating more $2 million and most importantly, volunteering more than 235,000 hours to charitable and community organizations throughout The District of West Kelowna and Kelowna since 2000.”

Heaven is for real I recently saw the movie “Heaven Is For Real”. The screenplay for the film was well written. The actors gave great performances. I enjoyed it! The movie is about Colton Burpo, a preacher’s son. When Colton was four years old his appendix became inflamed and he had to have emergency surgery in order to remove it. His condition was described as very grave. Colton truly fought for his life during the surgery. Colton claimed that he had a life changing experience while he was under general anesthetic. The young lad claimed that he had been to Heaven. When citizens of Colton’s home town of Imperial, Nebraska, first heard his revelations, it caused a crisis in faith. Most refused to believe the boy. Some made fun of him. Some prominent Christian writers have since criticized Colton’s revelations. However, many believed him. The boy’s account of heaven was set out in a book by the same title. It sold over a million of copies. The book has been so successful and well received that the movie was produced, potentially widening the audience for the boy’s revelations. Colton’s experience is not unique. He stands beside many men, women and children who, following a near death experience, testify with one voice: “There is life after this life!” Many, as in Colton’s case, have set their life after life experiences down in writing. Many of these stories have been published. Millions have purchased the books that chronicle the life after life experiences. Behind every purchase is a question: “What happens to me after I breathe my last breath and all my vital signs cease? We long for an answer. I saw that longing in a fellow pastor who faced his mortality. A few days before he breathed his last, my colleague gave me a book written by a man who had a near death experience. He told me to read it. It clearly had given him some solace and he wanted to share his solace with me. If my colleague struggled with the question of life after death, I am confident that there are many who wrestle with his issue. I am sure that the release of Heaven Is for Real in the theaters will spark discussion on the subject of life after death. Perhaps you have contemplated this question and are searching for an answer. The Bible teaches that God created this world, and all that is in it, and created another world inhabited by God and the

heavenly hosts. God’s world is hidden to us. Jesus declared that this hidden world, Heaven, is for real. Luke’s Gospel records: “It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.” (Luke 23:44-46). Jesus taught us that in the middle of the agony and suffering of His last hours and minutes, when God seemed so very far away, God was in reality very close to Him. Jesus pointed to a Father who was watching and waiting to save Him. Jesus relied on a Father who would take His spirit, His human nature, into His loving arms and into eternity.

of Heaven. Paul testified that he heard things he simply was not at liberty to disclose.

The Book of Acts records that Stephen, one of the first Deacons and the first martyr of the Church, declared Heaven was for real. Stephen had preached the Gospel of Jesus in public. He was accused of the religious crime of blasphemy against God. Stephen was tried by the religious establishment of Jerusalem. He was sentenced to death by stoning. As he awaited his execution, Stephen looked up into the sky. The Book of Acts records: “Stephen… looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” (Acts 7:55-56). His accusers could not bear to hear what Stephen had to say, so they dragged him outside the city and stoned him to death. While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.” (Acts 7:59-60) Stephen taught us that in the middle of the agony and suffering of his last hours and minutes, when God seemed so very far away to others, God was, in reality, very close to him. Stephen pointed to a Father and His Son who were watching and waiting to save him. Relying on the example and teaching of Jesus, Stephen believed in a God who would take his spirit into His loving arms and into eternity.

The Bible also teaches that God will not stay hidden. It teaches that Jesus will return and all who ever lived will come to life. God promised that one day He was going to change and transform creation. “See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.” (Isaiah 65:17). God will judge all who ever lived. God’s most passionate desire is that in this life, right now, we all pass over from death to life through faith in Jesus. Jesus wants you to believe that He never tires of reaching out with His love and grace. Read Luke 23:26-43. As Jesus was suffering and dying, He reached out and granted salvation to a criminal who was dying with Him. Jesus is reaching out to you today. He wants to give you the blessed assurance that heaven is for real.

The Apostle Paul testified that Heaven is for real. He declared that God took him up to the third heaven. Read 2 Corinthians 12:110. He did not describe Heaven. The Holy Spirit did not move and inspire Paul to provide us with a description of the geography

Based on the testimony of these witnesses, I believe that Heaven is for real. I believe that eternity is real and those who have faith have eternity today. Jesus said “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.” (John 5:24). I rely on a God who is always near me, always watching over me. I believe in a God who, when I breathe my last, will take my spirit into His loving arms and into eternity.

Revoke teen’s driver’s license

.C. has some reasonably tough fines and penalties in effect for excessive speeding and driving without due care and attention. However, for an Abbotsford 17-year-old and some of his pals, those laws are obviously not near harsh enough. This particular young man was caught doing 133 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on a Sunday afternoon. He got a ticket for excessive speeding, which ranges between $368 and $483.

His ride – the family’s Chrysler 300 – was also impounded for seven days. For most young drivers, those penalties – in addition to whatever was handed out by the parents – would deliver enough sting to alter behaviour behind the wheel. For others, however, the effect is apparently minimal. This teen would be proof of that, considering that two weeks earlier, he was part of a jackass performance in which two drivers held back other motorists to clear the way for four buddies,

Taking steps in the right direction for LNG industry growth

he central part of our plan to grow the economy and create more opportunity for this generation is bringing home the transformative opportunity presented by LNG. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity, with the ability to create 100,000 new jobs, and enough revenue to eliminate our provincial debt —but the key word here is “opportunity.” Make no mistake, B.C. has competitors, and while we’ve made enormous progress, there’s a lot of work to do.

Last week, we took two big steps forward. On Tuesday, Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Christy Education and TrainClark ing. It’s a comprehensive strategy to re-engineer B.C.’s education and apprenticeship systems. And we can only bring this opportunity home by working together. Government, industry, First Nations, and labour. As with most big announcements, this didn’t happen overnight. The foundation was laid over a year ago, when I met with union and non-union

MLA’S REPORT

labour leaders, including Jim Sinclair and Tom Sigurdson. We don’t always agree on the finer points of policy, but we share the same goal of creating more opportunity—more good-paying, family-supporting jobs. And crucially, making sure British Columbians have the necessary skills to fill those jobs. When you factor in retirements, a growing economy, and the enormous opportunity of LNG, there will be one million job openings in B.C. by 2022. More than 78 per cent of those jobs will require some form of post-secondary education, and 43 per cent will need skilled trades and technical workers In other words, we need to train another 430,000 skilled trades

and technical workers . So I asked labour leaders for their input and suggestions on how we should proceed. In April, they came back with 15 recommendations. We accepted all 15. British Columbia currently invests more than $7.5 billion every year in education and training. We’re targeting more of these resources to reflect the job market graduates will actually face. Beginning this fiscal year, over $160 million will be allocated to re-engineering education and training. In four years, this will reach nearly $400 million per year – that’s about $3 billion over the course of 10 years. Of those one million jobs, we estimate about 100,000 will direct-

ly result from developing the world’s cleanest non-renewable resource – LNG. And to reach final investment decisions, we have to keep moving forward. That’s why this week, I’m leading a delegation of LNG and industry officials on my fifth international trade mission, this time to Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. We’ll meet with key companies moving forward with LNG proposals, reinforce B.C.’s competitive advantages to new investors – including a plan to better prepare a skilled workforce – and our commitment to deliver clean, reliable energy solutions to the growing economies of Asia. Premier Christy Clark is the Westside-Kelowna MLA.

LETTERS ▼ PETROLEUM PRODUCERS

Transport system can handle diluted bitumen To the editor: Re: Columns by David Black: Making A Case For Converting Bitumen In B.C. (April 24 Capital News) and Build ‘Greenest Most Efficient Refinery In The World’ (April 25 Capital News). Continued safe marine and pipeline transport of hydrocarbons is in everybody’s interest so Canadians can realize value for resources and oil producers can continue to deliver jobs and economic benefits. No one wants a spill of any product at any time. The performance track record over the past 50 years is good, but even still, work is ongoing to improve prevention and ensure producers, transportation companies and spill-responders have the best information available to manage products safely and make the best plans possible for response, containment and clean-up in the event of an incident. Black’s articles incorrectly suggested the Canadian oil industry is not interested in the proposed refinery project and that transporting diluted bitumen is more risky than transporting other types of oil because of its chem-

ical properties. Fact is, oil producers are seeking increased access to existing and new markets—in Canada, the United States and internationally— to satisfy market demand for increasing Canadian oil production. All options to achieve that goal are worthy of study. And diluted bitumen—oil sands bitumen diluted with natural gas liquids that allow it to flow—is no more dangerous than other types of crude oil. Chemically, there’s nothing about diluted bitumen the transportation system cannot be prepared to manage. Whether it moves by pipelines or tankers, diluted bitumen meets all the same specifications and behaves the same as other crude oils. Oil floats on water if it has an API gravity above water’s 10 degree API gravity. Diluted bitumen has an API gravity of 20-22 degrees. Any type of oil spilled in water, eventually “weathers” and can be driven below the surface by waves or currents. Diluted bitumen behaves the same way. There have been several scientific stud-

ies completed on diluted bitumen. Earlier this year, the federal government released a research study that demonstrated diluted bitumen floats on salt water—even after evaporation and exposure to light. The study was commissioned by Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources Canada as part of the government’s plan to implement a world-class prevention, preparedness and response regime for marine transportation. Results of the study will be used to inform spill responders and help guide more research. Our industry is focused on responsible development of Canada’s resources. We welcome transparency on our safety and environmental performance, based on sound science. As producers, we transport oil with care and attention at all times. We expect all transportation providers to deliver safe services in a responsible manner. Greg Stringham, Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, Calgary

cing the cyclist directly in line with him. He uttered some abuse as he passed me, but did not stop and to deal with it. This is not the first time, and I do not think it will be the last either. I hope that maybe a few will read the Capital News and see something in here which may give them cause to think about what they could do if they hit an

unsuspecting individual. The speed at which some of these cyclists travel at is lethal, and it would not surprise me to find that someone has been injured. I am not in the habit of writing to the papers, but I feel that something should be said, and perhaps the police cycling squad could make a few trips down there to check things out and maybe

draw awareness to the fact that we are not all young and in perfect health and capable of being aware of our immediate surroundings, especially when approached from behind. Many of us do not have the hearing sensitivity we once had, nor the agility to jump out of the way and our ability to recover from being run down will not be something to look forward to

should we be unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. NB: You may hear a few more things from me in the future, I seem to have a few more items that are becoming too regular for my liking and my health, and other peoples’ also, as I walk around my home town. J. Bush, Kelowna

To the editor: Delighted to hear that the property is to be retained as a park until we read that the development will cost $5.4 million or nearly $1,000 per square metre. How many superbogs are they planning to build? Surely demolition of some aging houses, level out the site, provide a

parking lot and walkways should not cost more than a fraction of this sum. Thank heavens they cannot justify a multi-million tourism office as it is too far off the beaten track. Just what does the word ‘development’ encompass in this context? Bob Miles Westbank

Personal perserverance fuels fight to overcome arthritis Kathy Hatton has both rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. She was told she would never walk again and had to give up working. She made the decision to take control of her health and not merely succumb to what was thought to be inevitable. Kathy Hatton CONTRIBUTOR

Arthritis can affect anyone at any age, including kids. There are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis, including gout, lupus and scleroderma, and it is far from being just “an old person’s disease.” Early diagnosis and

treatment are essential to help reduce further joint and other damage, and can even induce remission with some kinds of arthritis in some cases. On Sept. 21, 2007, my life changed forever. Before this day, I had a very good career, was very active in my community and enjoyed sports like horseback riding, motorcycle riding, bi-

cycle riding and swimming. But Sept. 21 was the day I was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. I can remember lying in the rehab hospital, unable to walk or use my hands due to my swollen and inflamed joints. My memories of the rehab hospital are grime—there were no doors in the washrooms only curtains as no one on my floor could open door knobs; I could not take a shower due to my compromised immune system; there were no Kleenex in my night stand as I could not even blow my own nose. Every day, I would be visited by the physical therapist, the occupational

I was told that I would not be able to go back into the workforce and I was devastated as I truly loved my job. Once out of the hospital, I struggled for many months over the acceptance that I had some

chronic diseases. Then came the day I made the decision that my future would be up to me and how positively I managed my diseases. I quit asking, “Why me?” and I started on a daily exercise program in a therapeutic pool and twice a week, I visited a physiotherapist who specialized in arthritis. I changed the way I did things such as cleaning my house—a once a week job became a sixday job. I also accepted my limitations and celebrated all the things I was still able to do and enjoy. And I cherished the support and encouragement I continually received from my husband, Bob Hatton, and from my

many dedicated and loyal friends and family. Back in 2007, I was told I would be in a wheelchair by 2009, but I am happy to report I will complete the upcoming Walk to Fight Arthritis fundraiser on my own two feet. Life is good! On Sunday, June 8, I am participating in the arthritis walk to help raising funds to support the 4.6 million Canadians who live with the pain and disability caused by arthritis. Please make a donation and help to support our cause. Check out the website www.walktofightarthritis.ca. If someone you know is in pain, don’t just stand there. Walk with us on Sunday, June 8.

Documentary screening for Naturopathic Medicine Week In celebration of May 12 to 18 being National Naturopathic Medicine Week, Kelowna’s naturopathic physicians will host a special screenings of the film GMO OMG. This cutting-edge documentary is about genetic modification and the global food supply. The film was shown last month at Kelowna’s Paramount Theatre and garnered a positive response. GMO OMG is a story about a family, the food on their plate, biodiversity and the health of the planet. Are we at risk of losing one of humanity’s most precious, ancient inheritances, seeds? How does laboratory modification impact the food our children eat, what’s

on the dinner table every night? These and other topical issues surrounding naturopathic medicine will be explored further after the film screening, to be held in Mary Irwin Theatre at the Rotary Centre of the Arts, 421 Cawston Ave, 7 p.m. Naturopathic Medicine Week is an annual national event, which focuses on wellness, disease prevention and patient-focused primary care. The documentary screening will also serve as a unique fundraiser in support of the Family Naturopathic Clinic, a charity which supports low-income families with complementary medical care and nutritional advice at no cost.

Masters thesis examines lack of housing for single parents

Student’s research establishes the problem is not being addressed in Kelowna.

Masters student Amanda Jones knows all too well the struggles single mothers endure while finding safe, affordable and suitable housing in Kelowna. Jones, raised by a single parent, recently finished her research thesis, under the supervision of UBC associate professor Carlos Teixeria, on the lack of affordable housing for single mothers in Kelowna. “The first step in solving any problem is having the research information to say there is a problem,” says Jones, working towards her master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on human geography at the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “My

recently completed a study about available housing for single mothers in Kelowna. She says the facts speak for themselves and there simply isn’t enough support, or enough accommodation, for single parents in this region. thesis demonstrates that affordable housing for single mothers is a concern in Kelowna and I’m

hoping the city will be able to address the issues that put single mothers in the position where they

can’t afford housing.” Jones polled more than 30 single mothers in Kelowna and 11 key informants—people who work with single mothers or have particular expertise on the housing markets of the area—to get a feel for the housing market in Kelowna. She also explored the barriers that single mothers face while looking for housing, including low-income jobs, education levels, daycare costs, rental rates, discrimination from landlords and finding homes suitable for families. She says far too many generations of children live in poor conditions. Kelowna is seen as a destination location and prime retirement community. The result is that the city’s rental market is not geared to single, low-income families. “High demand for housing in the city of Kelowna, coupled with a high concentration of low-paying service jobs, contributes to a situa-

tion where the wages of many residents are inadequate to afford the cost of housing,” says Jones. “In addition, rental housing starts are not meeting the needs of Kelowna’s growing population, particularly those with lower incomes.” Jones’s study has several recommendations that may ease the problem, including more subsidized housing, a central organization that helps connect single family renters and ideas such as a housing registry and coop homes where single mothers share a housing complex. “A housing registry is something that is fairly easy for the city of Kelowna to take on,” says Jones. “Instead of us saying, ‘we need more money,’ we’re saying here are some solutions and the registry may be the first step to help remove some of the barriers single mothers face.” Jones will present her research today (May 8) at the Central Okanagan

Red Cross exceeds local fundraising goal

Anna Hunt-Binkley, Red Cross Building for Humanity Campaign chair, announced on World Red Cross Day, May 8, a final update for the Building for Humanity campaign launched last year. “Exactly one year ago, a volunteer campaign leadership team literally raised the Canadian Red Cross flag at Red Cross House in Kelowna and set out to raise $3 million. They exceeded the goal by $43,000 in just one year,” she said. “This speaks to the extraordinary generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations, service organizations and government to help Red Cross expand its disaster readiness, provide life-saving education and training as well as offer mobility solutions for the most vul-

nerable.” Subsequent to the campaign wrap-up on Feb. 7, RBC Foundation confirmed a gift of $20,000, Auction World donated $10,000 and Central Okanagan Foundation designated a grant of $10,000 towards the Health Equipment Loan Program in the Southern Interior region. “This will support our volunteers operating Health Equipment Loan sites and improve client access to our services in the Southern Interior,” said Kimberley Nemrava, B.C. provincial director for Canadian Red Cross. Campaign funding to renovate and improve accessibility to the training room is now complete. Volunteers, staff and the public have already utilized this new space for Red Cross training from

disaster preparedness to violence and abuse prevention to international humanitarian law training. In addition, the campaign secured the future acquisition of a mobile emergency service vehicle to be deployed when disaster strikes as part of a coordinated and comprehensive Red Cross response locally. The success of the Building For Humanity Southern Interior campaign reflects the truly vital role Red Cross plays in emergency response and community health; for the last 150 years and now in189 countries spanning the globe, Red Cross is the leading humanitarian organization internationally.

WFN chief remains upbeat on economy despite retail setback

Women assaulted at bus stop

Closure from A1 ples of businesses that have recently opened on WFN lands. “These big box outlets usually have long-term leases in place and they have a requirement to pay for that space until their lease is finished, so I’m sure they’re going to be acting very quickly to try and support another business coming in to fill their spot.” John Perrott, business development officer with the District of West Kelowna, said the closure of Staples didn’t come as a huge surprise, especially considering there is another store in the region. “I would imagine their business model, like many of the retailers’, is evolving (with) people ordering online and having items delivered,” said Perrott. He added studies have shown there are more big box stores in West Kelowna than usual, considering

Robert Louie the population. “We did have a report that was done in 2007 or 2008 that said the amount of retail space we had was higher per capita than general best practices,” said Perrott. “But, that being said, on the Westside here we’re still a regional draw.” Perrott said it’s unfortunate to see any jobs lost from the closures, but added it’s encouraging that some of the business-

es that have closed have tried to transfer employees to other stores in the region. The business development officer is also optimistic those who lost jobs may find work at other local businesses. “Businesses seem to be generally in a bit of a growth mode right now,” said Perrott, “so hopefully (anyone who) loses their job will have opportunities here on the Westside.” Norm LeCavalier, cochair of the Greater Westside Board of Trade, said: “The way we’re looking at it is a positive for opportunities for other businesses to come here, as well as existing businesses to expand.” Secareanu wouldn’t confirm when the store would close or how many employees were affected, but said the company is “working to provide transfer options…where possible.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna cops are looking for the man who allegedly assaulted a 56-year-old woman as she waited for her bus. The Kelowna RCMP received a report of an assault that had just occurred at a bus stop located near Centennial Park on the 100 block of Rutland Road North, April 30 at 7:13 p.m. “A 56-year-old Kelowna woman was seated on the bench and waiting for a bus when she encountered a man with a large dog,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The man’s

dog apparently jumped up on her lap, frightening the woman. “The man then accused her of kicking his dog and yelled at her before spitting in her face. “The woman stood up to confront the man but he proceeded to push her to the ground.” Witnesses immediately called police and provided first aid to the victim who sustained nonlife threatening injuries as a result of the attack. She was transported to the hospital and later released. The suspect, who was

accompanied by a young male, fled on foot. The suspect is described as: • Caucasian male • approximately 30 years of age • approximately 5-foot-8 in (172 cm) • brown hair, spiked in a Mohawk • brown goatee • heavy set with a muscular build • wearing a green tank top with blue and white lettering on the front, and a black & white bandana • carrying a jerry can for gasoline. Police are seeking

the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect and are also looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the assault. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Const. Bizier or Const. O’Donaghey of the Kelowna RCMP at 250762-3300.

Traffic disruptions due to Rails with Trails pathway Kelowna city hall says motorists should expect traffic interruptions over the next month on Spall Road and Dilworth Drive as city crews connect the new phase of the Rails with Trails pathway east of Spall to the existing stretch on the westside of the road. Thiswill add 1.5 kilometres to the multi-use pathway. Starting yesterday, intermittent nighttime lane closures will now occur between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. on

Spall at Clement Avenue. Two-way traffic will be maintained. As of May 9, intermittent daytime lane closures—between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.—will occur on Dilworth Drive at Leckie Road. Alternating traffic will be maintained. Rails with Trails is a paved, offroad multi-use pathway located parallel to the CNR corridor from the downtown North End to Spall alongside Clement Avenue. The new phase will continue

alongside the rail tracks, east from Spall to Dilworth. The pathway offers residents and visitors a safe and accessible pathway that is ideal for walking, in-line skating, commuter and recreational cycling. Construction on the second phase began in August 2013 and is expected to be complete by the end of this month. An official opening is planned for early June.

Insurance adjustors can be inconsistent Y

Telling your story most accurately —the Capital News

ou can expect to hear all sorts of “specious and spurious” arguments if you choose to negotiate an injury claim with an insurance adjuster. If you read some of the letters to the editor published earlier this week in the Capital News, you will know that some might say the same thing about choosing to read my column. Do an Internet search of “specious and spurious” and you’ll see what I mean. My editor helped me understand years ago that using a later column to carry on a debate arising from a “letter to the editor” is bad form. All I will say in my defence is at least I’m consistent. So I got a chuckle the other day when I learned how inconsistent insurance adjusters can be in comparison. I am continually amazed by the number of rear-ender crashes that come across my desk. I rarely see the “following too close” variety. Those ones can be ex-

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott plained by aggressive driving. Rather, it happens again and again and again that there’s an innocent victim who pulls up behind stopped traffic, sits there for a second or two, and then “CRASH.” The prevalence of rear-ender crashes is the best evidence I have to show that the most dangerous driving behaviour we face is not speeding, aggressive driving, or other such things, but rather is a lack of attention to the important task at hand. This is a feature of our driving culture that

can be eradicated only by a change of driving attitudes. They are so frequent that I am sometimes consulted by folks who have been the victim of more than one rear-end crash. It was one such unlucky victim who gave me the chuckle. The insurance adjuster she dealt with after the first crash pointed to the lack of damage to the back of her car and said that she couldn’t have been injured. Medical science is clear, by the way, that serious, chronic injuries can result from low speed rear-end collisions, but in this case the collision was high speed. The reason for the lack of damage was the trailer hitch that did a really good job of protecting the back of her car from being smashed in. Whatever the reason,

the adjuster used the “specious and spurious” argument that lack of damage to the back of the vehicle somehow translates into a lack of damage to the occupants. The double rear-ender victim didn’t have a trailer hitch in the second crash. The insurance adjuster she dealt with after that crash pointed to the twisted metal at the back of her car and told her how lucky she was that she didn’t have a trailer hitch. This adjuster turned the argument around and explained that a trailer hitch takes all the force of the collision and delivers it directly to the vehicle occupants rather than being absorbed by the crunching metal. This time, the “specious and spurious” argument was that a lot of damage to the back of the vehicle somehow translates into a lack of dam-

age to the occupants. How’s that for “blowing hot and cold at the same time,” or “talking out of both sides of your mouth.” This is a stark example of the reality that insurance adjusters will use whatever arguments they can come up with to try to challenge your claim for fair compensation. It should go without saying that blindly accepting the assertions of the person you are negotiating with is a bad idea. This is just a little reminder of that. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

ter costs, whose cats are already pregnant and are looking for a way out of their dilemma. Last year, the humane society received more than 900 applications for spay/neuter financial assistance from low income families. We were able to help 771 families. As of the end of April

for this year, we had already received more than 300 applications. Although we have no shelter or staff, we manage to adopt out in excess of 170 kittens and cats every year. These are fostered in our own homes, mostly at our own expense and are the byproduct of unaltered pets. These unaltered pets often produce more kittens than homes available for them. They become the basis of new colonies of unwanted and forgotten felines. And the circle continues. People turn to us when all other avenues have been exhausted. We go way above and beyond to help as many as possible but the line is always longer than our purse strings allow. So the continued support of our fundraisers is financially crucial. We hope to raise enough money from the June 6 golf tournament and silent auction at Sunset Ranch Golf Course to help 100 low income families spay/neuter their pets. We cannot do our work without fundraisers like the upcoming golf tournament. The tournament golf registration fee is $150/person which includes a golf cart and meal. Meal-only tickets are available for $50/person. Karen Brandt is with the Okanagan Humane Society.

WAM! set to rock its fourth year So-so Amazing Spider-Man THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

WAM! If it sounds like an event that’s meant to go off, cymbals smashing, horns blaring, bubbly flowing, you’re on the right track. Add the farm-to-table crowd, and a new social interactive platform for guests to rate wine tastings from a Smartphone, and one has the fourth annual Wine, Art and Music fundraiser for the Rotary Centre for the Arts. “We try to do more on the entertainment side than some of the more wine-fest type events,” said organizer Shelley Vida, noting WAM began as an add-on to the spring wine festival and, with very little promotion, has grown to a top fundraiser for the non-profit arts centre. Like every event, there are add-ons and nuances each year to draw return quests. For June 2014, it’s the social interactive platform attendees can use to rate the string of wineries they are sampling, a Twitter lounge and helicopter ride for four as a door prize. Valued at $650, the half-hour tour of Myra Canyon, the trestles, Little White and Crawford Canyon is worth a half dozen tickets in and of itself, but the staple to this affair is always the blend of local entertainers not found anywhere else. Susan Seel’s accordion will transport guests to Paris in one room, for example, while the Kinshira Performance Group spin poi like they are in a beach in Hawaii. “We’re a building that’s designed for the arts,” said Vida. “We already do well with all the visual and performing arts programming in the building and we use this one

SHELLY Vida toasts another great year directing the WAM! fundraiser for the Rotary Centre for the Arts event per year to bring people in, to bring in the culinary arts and showcase it.” Playing in the main atrium The Trips—with celtic violinist Shamma Sabir, Graham Ord on guitar, Joshua Smith and his stand-up Elvis bass, and Jesse Padgett on banjo—will mix their melodies to provide a foot-stomping bluegrass vibe. Local dancer and choreographer Lucy

Hazelwood’s Luki Dance Productions will bring the Triple Threat Halftime show to the stage and then there will be farmers, wineries and chefs. From Hillside Bistro to Ex nihilo and Nk’Mip, the wine and food samplings on offer will come from every corner of the valley. “It’s a pretty inclusive, easy night out and a great way to help the arts,” said Vida. “…There’s not

many events that will have the food that we’ll have, the farmers and a ride home.” On the farm end, Arlo’s Honey will be on site, along with Okanagan Lavender Farm and even some new producers, like the winemakers from 50th Parallel. Turner Audi Volkswagen provides complimentary rides home. Much of the event is still taking shape, so organizers are keeping many things a surprise at this stage, waiting to unveil what’s on offer as the day draws near. For those who love the Okanagan Photo Star photo booth, Vida says they won’t be disappointed, but otherwise attendees just have to stay tuned to the Wine, Art, Music Facebook page and the Rotary Centre for the Arts web page. Tickets are $89, available at SelectYourTickets.com or $80 each for groups of 10. The event is targeted at 400 guests this year and runs June 14 . jsmith@kelvownacapnews.com

Reports are that this film brought in $92 million in its opening weekend. It didn’t, however, come close to beating the top opener which was Iron Man 3 and its $174 million take a year ago on the same release date. For those of you who enjoyed the Toby McGuire Spiderman, Andrew Garfield takes a little getting used to. For me, the jury’s still out but all in all, the rest of the cast works. Dane DeHaan, Jamie Foxx and Paul Gramatti as the three villains are pretty scary. Emma Stone is perhaps meant to have no personality in the film and she doesn’t. Sally Field, as Aunt May Parker is typical Sally—a real actor who

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen can become any role she plays, but I’m sorry, I still see the Flying Nun every time I see her. So the villains in this show are strong and unlike anything Spider-Man has seen before and if I were to bet, I’d say there will be an Amazing Spider-Man 3 coming to theatres soon. The special effects are off the charts as are the chase scenes and the make-up for various characters is awesome. I like it—it was 2 1/2 hours, so it’s not short, but

the action scenes, if not the dialogue keeps you in the seats. I can’t help but wonder, however, why there are so many upcoming films that just look like reworked stories we’ve seen before. In the near future, there will be another X-men, more from the Planet of the Apes, Ninja Turtles, Captain America and more. Is there nothing new or are we just wanting to experience comic book characters forever. I give The Amazing Spider-Man 2, four reels. After all, it cost $250 million to produce, so lots of flash!

Kelowna with farmer Jon Alcock and Sam the Rooster. Its brilliant! No more second-guessing where your meat and vegetables come from, you will be driven directly to the source where you will meet the friendly face of the person who grows and raises your healthy food. For instance: Looking for farm-raised local chicken? Meet Lisa Dueck, your humane chicken farmer and her family. You will see their smiling faces and read about their dedication to raising healthy, happy animals. Then you can arrange for pick up at their farm or

at your local farmers market—all online. Soil Mate is offering users a re-connection to the old way of life in the new world. It is not only exciting it is reassuring. Creator Matt Gomez, explains what inspired him to build such an information platform. “I created it because I needed it myself. Over the last few years I have become aware of food security issues. Everything from GMO crops, processed food, hormones and chemicals used in meat, industrial agricul-

ture, inhumane animal treatment. “I have also become far more aware of the economical impact of importing food. I needed to find a way to help keep money in the community and keep the community farming spirit alive.” As the father of two young children and living in a new community, Matt wanted to eat local and support his farming community, but it wasn’t easy. There were no real, trustworthy directory listings available online and if he did fine one, he had no idea how to go about setting up a transaction with them—so he built his own. Soil Mate has recently launched and its time for farms, farmers’ markets and wineries to sign up, so tell your food and drink producers, farmers and artisans to go to: www. soilmate.com. In the month since launch it has already spread across seven Canadian provinces and 12 US states. jennschell@shaw.ca

With youth and inexperience comes growing pains. At the same time, it can also make for an exciting future. That’s precisely the attitude Travis Wray is employing as head coach of the Kelowna Raiders early in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League season. With 12 players having graduated from last year’s squad, the Raiders are by far the youngest of the league’s five teams. The Raiders are off to a 0-4 start, but Wray, who is back for his ninth season at the helm of the junior team, is exercising patience early in 2014. “This is the youngest team I’ve ever seen in my time here, there was such a big turnaround of players, we knew a bit of a rebuild would be necessary,” said Wray. “It’s a pretty big learning curve right now, but the guys are just getting their feet wet and finding out what it takes to play at this level.” In a league where the upper age limit is 21, the majority of the Raiders’ players are in the 16- and 17-year-old age bracket. Given time, Wray expects his club will acquire the experience needed to be competitive on a nightly basis in TOJLL.

D s h W u

W a m c h n “A lot of the new players are coming fromm other systems and haven’ts played for me before,”t said Wray. “It’s just a mat-i ter of them implementinga what we have in place ands the way the Raiders play. Once they learn that, It think we’ll be fine.” o With a young teamm taking to the floor on ac nightly basis, Wray willP look to veterans suchs as Kevin Hogan, Chase Bremner, Jaman Heslop and keeper Tristan Parece to lead the way this sea-▼ son. Once the team hits its stride, Wray expects the Raiders to challenge for one of four playoff spots at season’s end. As for Wray, the former Raiders’ player seriously considered stepping aside as head coachr at the end of last season,b but couldn’t resist re-i turning to an environmenti he has grown rather fondJ of over the last decade. b “For as long as I’ve been involved, it wase tough to leave,” Wrayr said. “I love the game,S but really it’s the peoplei that draw you back. It’si the fun we have, whether we win or lose, that makes me want to keeping doing this.” Wray and the Raiders return to action Thursday night when the host the Kamloops Venom Face off at Memorial Arena is 7:30 p.m.

this weekend for B.C. Premier Baseball League action. The A’s will host the North Shore Twins for doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday at Elks Stadium. The Twins are considered one of the teams to beat this season in the PBL. Okanagan is coming off a pair of wins over the Reds in Coquitlam last weekend. The teams played twice on Saturday, before Sunday’s games were rained out. In the opener, Trevor

Lofstrom tossed a four-hit shutout for his second win of the season as the A’s won 1-0. Chase Decosse scored the lone run on a error in the seventh inning. In Game 2, Matt Brodt went 3-for-4 with four RBIs as the A’s rolled the Reds 16-6. Brodt also picked up the win, his second of the season, with five scoreless innings of relief. Lofstrom added three RBIs as Okanagan evened its 2014 record at 6-6.

Kelowna speed skater Nick Goplen was among four athletes to be awarded a $2,000 bursary this month as part of Pacific Western Brewing’s Community Foundation Hometown Heroes Program. The presentation ceremony on Friday night at the Terminal City Club in Vancouver was headlined by four-time Olympic medalist Denny Morrison. PWB is an official sponsor of the 2015 Canada Winter Games and plans to award bursaries to 16 heroes in all between now and the start of the Games in Prince George. Goplen is currently attending the University of Calgary where he is seeking a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences. Due to a heavy training and travel schedule associated with being a high performance speed skater, he

can only take a maximum of three courses at a time. Regardless he is on track to complete his BSc by 2018 just in time for the Pyung Chang Olympics. Then it’s on to medical school. His accomplishments to date include: 2014 North American Champion (5000m), 4th (500, 1000); 2014 Olympic Trials 10th (5000m), 18th (1500m); 2013 Fall World Cup Trials 8th (5000m); 2012 North Americans 3rd (5000m); 2012 Canada Cup 1st (1500m) and 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 BC Speed Skating Association male athlete of the year. Goplen says being the top skater to come out of the Okanagan and an honours student coming out of Okanagan Mission Secondary who is focused on the tough job of achieving the pre-requisite grades for medical

school, demonstrates that he is dedicated to reaching not only athletic goals, but academic ones too. On top of the demands of his sport and his education Goplen manages to coach in his community. “I have spent many years serving as a mentor to younger skaters within the Okanagan and lead dry land sessions for the Kelowna Speed Skating Club from May to September,” he says. “This past summer I began volunteering at the Connect Centre in Lake Country to help people who have been through head trauma. Connect serves as a halfway point between the hospital and independent living for people who have suffered minor to severe brain injuries. I plan to volunteer with Connect again this summer once I return home,” Goplen says.

Washington soccer defender signs on with UBCO Heat Entering his fourth year at the helm, Heat men’s soccer coach Dante Zanatta has again gone south of the border to recruit for his budding program as they embark on transitioning to Canada West. UBC Okanagan’s latest addition is 6-foot defender Hans Kogan from Bellingham who will join fourth-year Jorden Leib as the team’s second player from the state of Washington. It was Leib, a former high school class and teammate to Hans, who helped in connecting the centre-back with Zanatta about opportunities to continue playing soccer and attend a top University. “He was just saying that I should shoot Dante an email, and I did,” explains Hans on his conversation with Lieb. After turning Dante’s and his collective coaching staff’s heads in March at the Heat’s Spring ID Camp with his potential, then receiving an offer to be part of the team, it became an easy choice for Kogan.

The decision was made even easier with a friend in Lieb and a sister already attending students at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “I like the area a lot,” Kogan said of the Okanagan, “and also the size and the resources that UBC has here…(I also like) the team—talking to Dante about what he wants to do with the team, and how he likes to play defensively and building out of the back. Being a defender I really like that.” Kogan hopes his athleticism and work ethic will be a good fit in Zanatta’s style and system. “If you look at our defensive record last year, too many goals went in the back of the goal,” Zanatta said of Kogan’s

Jr. A’s take on Abby Cardinals this weekend A’s from A24

JUNIOR A’S…

The Okanagan junior Athletics will be at Edith Gay Park this weekend for four BCJPBL games against the Abbotsford junior Cardinals. Saturday’s doubleheader starts at 2 p.m., with Sunday’s set for 11 a.m. The junior A’s are 3-6 on the season after scoring a 10-9 win over the White Rock Tritons last Saturday in Surrey. After giving up five runs in the sixth to tie the score at 9-9, the A’s won it in the top of seventh when Ben MacDonald singled home Sean Haylow with the winning run. Hendrik Terwoord led the offence with two hits and three RBIs.

BANTAM A’S…

The Okanagan A’s will head to Vancouver this weekend for four games in B.C. Bantam

AAA Baseball League action. The A’s will face the Victoria Red team for two games on Saturday, followed by two against Victoria Black on Sunday. The A’s (4-12) earned a split of four hames last weekend at home. On Saturday at Edith Gay, Okanagan opened up with a 6-5 win over Burnaby, before Burnaby responded with a 6-5 win over their own. Keaton Mandryk picked up the win in the opener, while Ethan Soroka scored three runs. On Sunday, the A’s downed Vancouver 5-1, then watched the Mounties rebound for a 9-7 win. Kade Kozak earned the win with five inning of work, while Fynn McCarthy had two hits and Kayden Thomas had a sacrifice bunt and run scored. In the weekend finale, Noah Ringess-Law scored three times.

potential contributions. “We weren’t athletic enough…so between him and Sean (PIicher) who signed earlier, as another centre-back, I think we’ve solidified our centre-back for the next few years.” Kogan played out his high school career with the Squalicum High School Storm. He has played for his club team the Whatcom Rangers for the last six years, with the squad making the quarterfinals at the State championships in the last three years. He was the high school All-Conference No. 1 pick for the Northwest Conference in Washington. “We worked in a oneon-one session with him and it was quite good,” continued Zanatta on

his evaluation of Kogan. “Hans can play wide too, so it’s going to be a very interesting preseason camp this year with some of the returning guys, and with Ryan Jerry who recently signed, there’s one or two guys at the camp here that have done well as a fullback, so it’s going to be very interesting.” Zanatta has high hopes for Kogan’s ability to adjust to CIS level of play as the team enters its new league this fall. “Athletically, I think he has the ability to play at that level. He’s going to be a green first-year player that’s going to get beat sometimes on the fact that he’s running around instead of thinking a bit, but as we’ve always said it’s about building the program long term.”

MCCLURE, DOROTHY (nee D’Ath) Dorothy Alice passed away Saturday, May 3, 2014 after a rewarding life of 96 years. Predeceased by her husband Harold “Mac” McClure in 2006. Dorrie is survived by her loving family, son Ken (Pat) McClure, daughters Joan (Mustafa) Isik, Linda (Rod) Ward and her sister Dulcie McClure. Grandchildren Chris McClure, Shannon (Tyson) Bull, Stuart Ward, Sarah (Mark) Ogden and Cennet Isik. Great grandchildren Megan and Lauren Bull, Asia McClure, Asha and Ayva Odgen.

Dorrie, Mac and Dorrie’s sister Dulcie came to visit Mac’s family in Kelowna in 1940 and settled. Winter didn’t bother Dorrie, she was happy to live in a centrally heated home, looking after her family. For many years she was involved in the guilds of St. Andrews Anglican Church in the Mission and the Kelowna Kinette Club. In retirement Dorrie and Mac enjoyed winters in California. Dorrie happily spent her last years living at Hawthorne Park. We would like to give special thanks to Dr. R. Schriemer for his proactive care, all the staff of Hawthorne Park for their care and loving environment and Cottonwoods Ethel Glen staff for their care.

can lead to pain in the upper back as well. The two most common causes of upper back pain are muscular pain and joint disorders.

Acupuncture can help ▼ to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness and strengthen the area. Treatments can help to reconnect the interrupted energy flow and correct imbalances so that the body can go about its healing, making acupuncture an excellent form of treatment for problems of the upper back. In addition, treatment targets many internal factors which may contribute to a weakness in the upper back, as can be the case with chronic back pain. In this way acupuncture also has the goal of not only alleviating the pain, but also of effectively resolving chronic conditions and strengthening the body to prevent future pain from arising. Combined with exercises and postural advice, it is a very valuable tool in treating upper back pain.

curved forward. Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammation of the spine that results in a progressive ossification or fusing of the spine. Scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves to the side, can also cause upper back pain. Acupuncture can be extremely effective in the treatment of upper back pain, regardless of how long the condition has been present. By looking at what is causing the pain, we can determine how to correct the problem. Is it due to trauma, whether through an injury or over time through poor posture or repetitive stress? Is it due to our external environment such as too much exposure to cold, heat, damp, or wind? Or is it due to an underlying internal imbalance that is weakening the musculo-skeletal tissues? In understanding what’s at the root of the problem, we can tailor acupuncture treatment in order to resolve it.

Choral composition reflects synergy of creative forces Sandra Wilmot, a violin teacher at Kelowna Community Music School, has recently returned from Interplay in Vancouver. Interplay is a work shopping session put on every two years by the Vancouver Chamber Choir, open to student/amateur/professional Canadian composers who wish to try out new choral pieces. Submissions are received from across the country and four composers are selected to work directly with the choir and conductor, Jon Washburn. Needless to say, KCMS was very proud of Wilmot for having been selected. Wilmot’s submission was a project in collaboration with a local poet, Jake Kennedy, published author and professor of English and Creative Writing at Okanagan College. It is an SATB (sop-

Sandra Wilmot rano, alto, tenor, bass) a cappella piece that explores the marriage between conceptual poetry and classical composition. The fascinating thing about this experimental project was the process of collaboration and interpretation. Kennedy wrote a poem, in four parts, which was inspired by an art installation at the 2013 Venice Biennale entitled Cripplewood, by Belgian artist Berlinde de Bruyckere. Then Wilmot used the text to create an SATB

choral representation of the text. Both Wilmot and Kennedy worked with the choir to mold their piece into perfection. The choir did not simply sing what Wilmot had written as she allowed them some freedom of interpretation. As well, Wilmot had Kennedy’s permission to alter the words as well. And Jon Washburn, the conductor, gave his interpretations, creating a true process of synergy to achieve the final product. This isn’t what one normally expects in the world of classical music. During the process, Wilmot said that all the collaboration, experimentation and interpretation was similar to jazz improvisation. She was very enthusiastic about the process in that it gave her a great deal of freedom of expression, she said.

Now, it has been announced that even more patients in need and will be able to be treated at the dental clinic will be expanded from two chairs to five this summer. The new clinic will allow for a full-time staff dentist to provide a continuum of patient care, along with providing even more opportunity for the volunteer dental community to serve with them. The clinic will undergo renovations between May and July with the re-opening scheduled for August.

NEWS ▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Professor earns national recognition for mentorship Okanagan College students weren’t alone in earning national awards at the 2014 Enactus National Competition, which was held in Calgary last week. Business professor Devin Rubadeau was recognized with a national award as Rookie Faculty Advisor of the Year by Enactus Canada. Rubadeau joined the college this fall as a term professor of marketing and management. He immediately became involved with Enactus Okanagan College and served as faculty advisor for two of the organization’s largest projects,

the Young Entrepreneur competition and InStill Life. “Working with Enactus has been the highlight of my experience at Okanagan College,” said Rubadeau. “The students I had the opportunity to work with have inspired me to work harder. I’m overwhelmed by their abilities and their talents.” The college’s Enactus team earned a berth to the final round of the national competition and finished among the top four in the country. The team of Ben Heggie, Karen Vandergaag, Minami Endo, Kyle Abbot and Suzanne Newton

earned a bronze in Financial Literacy. And collectively, the team finished third in the Campbells Help Hunger Disappear Challenge. Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton says while the results from the national competition are important, even more important are the results from the projects and community work done by the Enactus students with great support from their professors. “Each year I am more and more impressed by the efforts of our Enactus students,” said Hamilton. “They may be one of the smaller post-sec-

ondary institutions in the competition but you would never know it based on their results. “They find creative ways to solve real-world issues in our communities, whether they be related to literacy in youth, hunger in our communities or environmental solutions for businesses. “I am extremely proud of our team and the impact they continue to have.” Rubadeau echoed Hamilton’s praise for the college students. “It is hard to describe just how polished and professional our students are and the way in which they

dents that are more like peer relationships. “This has been the best employment experience of my life and to receive an award for being a part of it is extra special,

especially because the nomination came from my students and my colleagues. It’s really been an honour to be a part of the Okanagan College School of Business.”

▼ CRIME STOPPERS

Milestone Award presented to Central Okanagan program Thanks to the help of local citizens, media partners and the police, the Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers program has been very successful in supporting local crime fighting efforts. Crime Stoppers helps to locate criminals wanted by the courts, solve crimes and target illegal drugs. At the BC Crime Stoppers Training Conference held in Kamloops on May 3, the Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers program was recognized with a Milestone Award. This award is presented to the program that has had the most success in the amount of illegal drugs seized and stolen property recovered. As a result of tips to Crime Stoppers, $5.7 million of illegal drugs were seized in the Central Okanagan. These are drugs that have been taken off our streets and are no longer

causing harm to our communities. Some $110,311 worth of stolen property has also been recovered as a direct result of tips to Crime Stoppers. Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers past president David Demeyere was awarded the Civilian of the Year for recognition of his many years of service to Crime Stoppers

both here and in Ontario. Demeyere was the driving force behind the fundraising efforts for an anti-bullying program that was introduced to local schools. For more information about the program and how you can help reduce crime in the Central Okanagan, check out the website www.crimestoppers. net.

The Cherryville man who helped his son cover his tracks after he brutally murdered a teenage girl, will spend the next couple of years behind bars. Stephen Foerster was sentenced to three years in prison, less 336 days of time served, for the charge of accessory after the fact. The 60-year-old, the court learned Wednesday, went to great lengths to help his son Matthew Foerster escape police scrutiny for five months after his Halloween 2011 slaying of Armstrong teen, Taylor Van Diest. But, said Crown counsel, as he laid out his argument for the sentence, the fact the senior Foerster arranged to plead guilty to the crime shortly after a preliminary hearing worked in his favour. Justice Peter Rogers agreed to the sentence, which was presented as a joint submission from Crown counsel and defence, noting that if he had his way, he’d have aimed for a slightly longer term of imprisonment.

OUTSIDE the Kelowna courthouse Wednesday, Marie Van Diest said she was happy to

be rid of the Foersters. Father Stephen Foerster was sentenced to three years in prison, less time served, for the charge of accessory after the fact, relating to the 2011 murder of Taylor Van Diest by his son, Matthew. house. “I think the thing he was sorry for is that he couldn’t go forward with trial, it would have just cost him too much. I think that’s why he decided to plead the way he did. He just didn’t want to fork out any of his dwindling income.” The Foersters, she said, belong where the courts

have sent them. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and in this case it’s true,” she said. “I think that they’re both cowards and they’re both deviants, and neither of them have a place in society.” Those five months when police searched for Taylor’s killer, she said, were excruciating for both

her family and the community at large, which felt their safety stripped. Crown counsel Chris Balison explained to the court how the elder Foerster, acted swiftly to help his son escape police detection after a sketch of his son was released a month after

BUSINESS

“Mr. Foerster, knowing that Matthew was a killer, that he killed a defenceless girl, and he killed her at random, (sends) him to Collingwood, Ontario, where, for all he knows, he’ll kill again,” said Rogers, as he rendered the sentence. “What Matthew Foerster did was just cold and Stephen Foerster knowingly facilitated a cold killer to be at large. That’s worrisome.” Foerster remained stoic in the prisoner’s box as the proceedings rolled out much of Wednesday morning, but when he was offered an opportunity to speak later that afternoon he took it. “I would like to apologize to the Van Diest family for prolonging the investigation…they’ve suffered more than anybody should,” Foerster said. His words didn’t sway Marie Van Diest’s belief that the Foersters lacked remorse for the crimes they committed against her family. “I felt (the apology) was really pathetic,” the mother of Taylor Van Diest said outside the Kelowna court-

“Staples has been, I believe, a good corporate citizen in the area. They’ve provided good service; I feel sorry for their employees.” Louie said he has taken time to examine what is happening on WFN land with regard to the closures of several big box stores, including Zellers, Future Shop, and now Staples. “Despite the closure of Staples, I feel…the economy is still picking up.” He said Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters, Fenders Automotive, Stickle & Strawn Optom-

etry, Pizza Hut and Freeride Boardshop are examples of businesses that have recently opened on WFN lands. “These big box outlets usually have long-term leases in place and they have a requirement to pay for that space until their lease is finished, so I’m sure they’re going to be acting very quickly to try and support another business coming in to fill their spot.” John Perrott, business development officer with the District of West Kelowna, said the closure of Staples didn’t come as a huge surprise, especially consid-

ering there is another store in the region. “I would imagine their business model, like many of the retailers’, is evolving (with) people ordering online and having items delivered,” said Perrott. He added studies have shown there are more big box stores in West Kelowna than usual, considering the population. “We did have a report that was done in 2007 or 2008 that said the amount of retail space we had was higher per capita than general best practices,” said Perrott.

“But, that being said, on the Westside here we’re still a regional draw.” Perrott said it’s unfortunate to see any jobs lost from the closures, but added it’s encouraging that some of the businesses that have closed have tried to transfer employees to other stores in the region. The business development officer is also optimistic those who lost jobs may find work at other local businesses. “Businesses seem to be generally in a bit of a growth mode right

Blasé exterior hides senior Foerster’s frenzy Job hunting Foerster Sr A1 Taylor died. Around 1,250 tips were offered to police in the weeks in November 2011, and at least 30 of which pointed to Matthew Foerster. Some of those tips came from the Foersters’ friends and family, who were also turning to elder Foerster for answers. “There was certainly no secret in the local area and in the Foerster family…that RCMP were investigating Matthew Foerster,” said Balison. In one case, Balison said a long-term friend asked Stephen Foerster about his son’s connection to Taylor Van Diest’s murder, and in reply they were told: “If he’s guilty, he’s guilty. If he’s not, he’s not.” Behind the scenes, Foerster was less blasé, apparently feverishly working to keep his son hidden from police. In November two women packed up Matthew Foerster’s Lumby apartment, and Stephen went shortly thereafter to collect the boxes.

He asked a long-time friend to help him purchase a new identity for his son, and for $500 he came up with a BCAA card, driver’s licence, old bank card and SIN number that Foerster used to move to Collingwood, Ont. Once there, the two communicated through

two pay-as-you-go mobile phones they’d purchased. Balison made reference to three calls made through the phones, where the father-son duo discussed use of the purchased identity, the police investigation, methods to avoid detection and eventually plans to buy a

The word debt sounds so close to death and most of us have died in debtors’ prisons in one lifetime or another. Debt is a modern form of slavery. If you pay off a $40 dinner by making the minimum payments that dinner could cost you $200. The best way to handle your past expenditures is paying them off and then only using credit cards to the extent that you can pay them off every month. #3 Take a look at exactly what it costs you to live each month. Include not only required expenditures like rent and utilities, but also entertainment, self-improvement events and whatever else is required to have the life you’d like to have. Then ask for the ways to create that to show up in your life.

Who would benefit from Heilkunst Treatment?

In my opinion, anyone who has an interest in Heilkunst can benefit from it. We have all experienced shocks or traumas in our life, and we’ve all inherited genetic predispositions, whether we are aware of it or not yet. For many people our inherited predispositions, or chronic miasms, will lie latent not causing too many problems until we experience a significant shock or trauma, or an accumulation of traumas, and suddenly the underlying chronic miasm will become active, and a person will begin to experience symptoms. I have many people who come to see me saying things like, “I was fine until this happened,” or “I’ve never been the same since this happened to me.” In Heilkunst medicine, we understand why that happens and it is our specialty helping people with those issues. Additionally, Heikunst is extremely effective in resolving emotional traumas, such as the loss of a loved one. I treat many people who need assistance in overcoming anxiety, and fears that are affecting the quality of their life. Irritation and impatience is another issue that Heilkunst is very effective in treating. Many people feel very rushed and overwhelmed in their hectic lives. Heilkunst helps to calm that feeling. These are just a few of the health issues that Heilkunst is very effective in helping people overcome. If you want to know if Heilkunst is right for you, call Transformative Health and we can answer any questions that you may have.

I have a really small kitchen and no place to grow, how can I get more “room” out of my small space?

Great question, believe it or not, you actually can get more room out of a kitchen that that cannot grow in floor space. There are several ways to achieve this and usually a combination of all of what we are going to suggest for you is probably the best answer to your space issue. Most of the time it’s not so much that we have small spaces to work within as much as it is the functionality of the space and, functional storage is key to making a small kitchen work. We suggest using more drawers and/or pullouts than straight cabinets with doors and shelves, because of the fact that they are pullouts and drawers that fully extend it is much easier to get at what is in them (most kitchens come standard with full extension/soft close…ours do). A design that goes all the way to the top of your ceiling with upper cabinets will add to your storage space. If you don’t like crown molding, you can use a “riser” to give a built in custom finished style to achieve a more contemporary look. Placement of your appliances and sink(s) for a “triangle zone” (you all know what we’re talking about!), is very, very, important to functionality. Please feel free to contact us for a free consultation if you don’t know what we’re talking about!

Dallman takes game to Brock U in Ontario The West Kelowna Warriors have announced another player commitment as former assistant captain Tyson Dallman has found a place to play next season. Dallman, 20, has committed to Brock University in St. Catharine’s, Ontario and will begin playing for the Brock Badgers at the start of the 2014-15 season. “One of their scouts talked to me near the end of this season,” said Dallman, “then their head coach met me at home in Prince Albert after the season.

He tallied 22 goals, and 20 assists in 53 games for the Warriors, and added two assists in six playoff games. Dallman said he’ll play the same role he had
