Lions Hall arson suspect arrested
Kathy Michaels
STAFF REPORTER
A Kelowna man has been charged with arson relating to a fire that all but razed a Westbank landmark. Kerry Robert Cooper, 30, appeared Monday morning in Kelowna Provincial Court to face a charge of arson—damage to property. “He was remanded in custody, to appear next on May 13, 2014, in Kelowna Provincial Court,” said Sgt. Wade Seversen in a press release. Rick Hebner, past president of Westbank Lions’ club, said a representative from the RCMP called the hall manager last Friday to say there had been an arrest in the investigation into who burned down the historic Lions’ Hall. “He told us somebody had been arrested, and that was it,” said Hebner. “It’s nice there’s been something done about that.” That said, Hebner pointed out that it will be more interesting to see how the courts treat Cooper. But the arrest doesn’t make up for the inconvenience experienced by community groups since the Sept. 1 2013 blaze, that have long relied on the facility. The District of West Kelowna used the Lion’s Hall for open houses and public meetings, while a number of service clubs used the smaller rooms for their meetings. Several tenants were displaced, as well as the Central Okanagan School District’s alternate school and several programs of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. “The rebuilding is about 50 per cent complete,” said Hebner, adding that means the exterior has been rebuilt. Final approvals on plans are slated for some time in the future, and Hebner said all the lingering unknowns amount to little more than more questions. “We honestly have no idea when we’ll be back,” he said. “It all depends on when the final approvals are given. There have been little bits of work here and there, but the majority of heavy labour has yet to be done.” The fire that engulfed the Westbank Lions Community Centre started around 8 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 1, and quickly spread through the original wooden hall portion, which dates back to 1928, and the adjoining section which was added in 1980. The entire building was renovated in 1980 when it was moved back from its original position nearer to the road and the addition was completed. Damage was estimated somewhere in the ballpark of $1 million. kmichaels@kelowncapnews.com

Teaching a First Nations history lesson Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A large, hollowed out piece of black cottonwood is sitting in the foyer at École de l’Anse-au-sable, waiting to be transformed into a canoe. As the tree is carved into a narrow boat using traditional methods, students are learning what the canoe represents for First Nations people, and why it’s an important part of their history. The francophone school has
partnered with Le Centre cultural francophone de l’Okanagan and Westbank First Nation as part of an aboriginal awareness project, which has received $10,000 in funding from the Central Okanagan Foundation. “It’s opening the door of (French) culture to meet the aboriginal culture, and possibly to learn from each other,” said Jean Savoie, a teacher at École de l’Anse-au-sable. “We’re hoping the aboriginal elders will continue to come to

our school and tell us their story: It’s an incredible story.” Elder Richard Louis, a former cowboy and saddle maker, is leading the carving project. He learned the craft of building canoes from his grandfather and some of his uncles, and began building them himself in the early 1990s. He said the purpose of the school project goes further than simply showing the students how a canoe is built. “It’s getting the two cul-

▼ RCMP DEMONSTRATION DAY
Police make a connection with people they serve
Kathy Michaels
STAFF REPORTER
Downtown Kelowna was teeming with Mounties, Saturday afternoon, and it was a remarkably cheerful occasion. Police and Policing Partners Demonstration Day got off to an exciting start at around 9 a.m., when a hulking RCMP helicopter gently landed on the Kelowna Library grounds. Adults and children alike marvelled at the parked machine while the parking lot adjacent to City Hall started to fill with families looking to learn more about the services different police and ambulance branches provide. Police dogs barked on cue for children gathered, Annie the CPR doll took compressions from little hands, and the happiest ambulance visitors in the city got a bird’s eye view of stretcher life, to name but a few of the attractions. The event, which was the starting point of police week which runs from May 10 to 17, was WE WANTED TO the only open house that the Mounties have held in DO SOMETHING Kelowna in the last five TO SAY, ‘WE’RE years and was intended as HUMAN, AND YOU a bit of an olive branch to CAN COME AND the community. “We wanted to do TALK TO US.’ something to say, ‘We’re Const. Kris Clark human, and you can come and talk to us,’” said Const. Kris Clark. “We’re here to serve the public.” The friendly face to local policing fits well with the increasingly positive view the B.C. public has of the RCMP. A recent IPSOS Reid poll said that public confidence in policing has dramatically increased in B.C., said Clark. Helping bolster that view may also be statistics that show policing is increasingly effective. Overall crime is down across B.C. in RCMP-policed jurisdictions. In each category used to measure crime rates—Crime Severity Index, Property Crime, Violent Crime and Total Criminal Code Crime rates— overall rates dropped by as much as 8.4 per cent from 2012 to 2013. The numbers were published today as part of the B.C. RCMP’s 2013 Year in Review document, and were shared recently with the provincial government and municipal councils. There was good news too on the road safety front, with traffic fatalities down more than eight per cent from 2012-2013. The number of serious injury collisions in areas policed by the RCMP is also down nearly 23 per cent from 2012-2013. “We’re highlighting this good news now, to ensure the public is aware of the work being done around the province’s 122 RCMP detachments, and the specialized units and integrated teams,” said Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, head of the B.C. RCMP in a press release last week. “The public often indicates they want more information from us, so I hope they take advantage of the many events, such as open houses or demonstrations, being offered around the province by detachments during Police Week.”

AN OPEN house hosted by the Kelowna RCMP last Saturday gave the public an opportunity to see the various services offered by both the police and ambulance services.

“Even criminals go on vacation.” That point was raised more than once after Aug. 14, 2011, when a popular Okanagan tourist destination turned into a murder scene. Leader of the Red Scorpion gang, Jonathan Bacon, was fatally wounded, one of his hangers-on was paralyzed, an associate from another gang injured and another just disappeared in a hail of gunfire. The carnage, it seemed, was more befitting an urban hub with a notorious crime prob-
lem than this sleepy summer hotspot, but as police said when press conferences were held, B.C. gangsters want to go on minibreaks, too. That mobility, said Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, media relations officer for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia, is what makes B.C. unique and difficult to police. “Our gangsters are all over the world,” said Houghton, who was in Kelowna Saturday, greeting kids and handing out stickers from CFSEU’s public service campaign called ‘End Gang Life.’ “In other major cities, gangsters never leave their hometown.” That lifestyle difference can be pegged on one thing. Unlike gang cultures in a number of U.S. cities
or even Eastern Canada, embracing crime isn’t a choice made when all other options have been limited by ethnicity and economic status. “The stereotype doesn’t work here,” said Houghton. “(The majority) of our gangsters are middle to upper middle class white kids. They believe the myth that money will come fast and they’ll be insulated from the violence and their friends will get their back.” Of course Bacon, who epitomized the middle class B.C. experience before his descent into crime, was evidence of how vulnerable anyone can be to gang violence, regardless of the heights reached. And, B.C. police are getting a bit more savvy to the ways of the wandering gangster.
In the win column for police, James Riach, the gangster who walked away from the 2011 Bacon shooting, was recently picked up in the Philippines for his role in a drug trafficking ring. It’s unclear what will become of him, but Houghton pointed out that life in a Filipino prison may be even less pleasant than in Canada. Policing is improving, said Houghton, but it’s not simple. “It’s challenging to communicate (with other branches of police) in a timely fashion, then you add on a layer with international travel,” he said. Last fall, he explained, an investigation out of B.C. spider-webbed into Ontario, then Australia, and then into the U.S. “An investigation doesn’t take days,” he
said. “It takes weeks if not months.” It’s a costly endeavour, as well, said Houghton, noting that investigation price-tags can reach the millions. “It’s everyone’s problem,” he said. That’s why so much emphasis is being put on educating children and preventing the crime cycle. There’s plenty of academic research that reinforces the idea that education can help children navigate away from crime, he said. “If we can get to them early, and encourage positive choices, there are a lot of studies out there that say it’s cheaper,” he said.

Public input has no impact on Water Sustainability Act Okanagan Basin Water Board proposes agency to carry out Water Act changes. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
A review of the new Water Sustainability Act slated for Royal assent reveals calls for public comment had little to no effect on the final product. Speaking to the Okanagan Water Stewartship council Thursday, UBCO professor John Janmatt, the B.C. Regional Innovation Chair in Water Resources and Ecosystem Sustainability, pointed to the astoundingly quick timeline—first, second and third reading went through in less than two months—as he
raised questions about the purpose of the act’s new focus on water pricing and highlighted the lack of public input in the final document. “Whatever debate or discussion there was had no impact on how this thing was shaped,” Janmaat said. “I looked at the first reading and the third reading, both available on the web, and nothing has changed.” The Water Stewartship Council is a technical advisory board for the Okanagan Basin Water Board and it submitted suggestions en route to the first
draft of the document, and initially seemed please with what went to first reading. “It’s heading in the right direction,” said Nelson Jatel, OBWB water stewardship director, in a news release issued midMarch when the group obtained an advanced copy. Chief among concerns at the time was a schedule to the legislation naming protected rivers in B.C., which left out the Okanagan’s water systems. This is the first complete overhaul of water governance in the province in over 100 years, and it includes substantial changes. Under the Act,
groundwater becomes a commodity for the first time, and its extraction and use monitored in a similar manner to surface water. There are new powers for protecting water needed to sustain the natural environment, protections for water needed for agriculture, and it renames water management plans as water sustainability plans for specific watersheds, writing in new administrative requirements for the documents. All of this administration is a bit of a problem, Janmatt pointed out, but it’s one the OBWB is hoping to solve. Last Tuesday, the board approved sending
Helicopter provides help in fighting Peachland waterfront house fire Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Fire crews battling back flames that razed a large waterfront home in Peachland got some help from above Monday afternoon. “We have a relationship with Wildcat Helicopters and we spoke to them and they dropped a few loads from the helicopter onto the fire,” said James Springer, the assistant fire chief for the Peachland fire department. “Now that they’ve done that we can extinguish the rest of the hotspots,” he said. It was the biggest break the department got fighting the Brent Road blaze which broke out and raged out of control some time before 5 a.m. May 12. “When we got there it was fully involved,” said Springer. The whole house was on fire and Springer estimated that flames shot up as high as 80 feet from the roof. “It’s a very large house, big timbers and lots of wood,” said Springer, explaining the flames had plenty to feed on. And, while the fire had lots working in its favour, the fire department had just as many hurdles to jump. “The actual house was at the end of a long winding driveway,” he said. The Peachland water tender, and a water tender from West Kelowna
as backup, parked above the driveway and pumped water down to the front line. “The driveway was too windy for the trucks,” Springer said. Taking a defensive approach, all hoses were turned on the home. The nearest neighbour was a couple hundred yards away, and Springer said they weren’t in danger. However, a piece of burning wood flew up in the air and landed on a house five doors north of the home that was burning down. The biggest risk in that case was that the house it landed on had cedar shakes on the roof. “That’s one of the main reasons to not have cedar shakes,” he said. The fire was in the mop up stage by 2 p.m. Monday, and there was no word on what caused the
house to ignite. The owner of the home was out of the country at the time of the fire,
a proposal to Minister of Forest, Land and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson, to develop a new B.C. Water Commission to handle the new water pricing and collection of fees. The agency would use software developed here in the Okanagan to handle the administrative side of the new act’s requirements and potentially create another Okanagan-based agency. “Currently, reporting of licensed water use in B.C. is collected ineffectively, if at all. However, this new water use reporting software, developed by the OBWB in partner-
ship with the province and now used in the Okanagan and Nanaimo, would allow information on major groundwater and surface water extractions to be gathered efficiently from all over B.C.,” said Jatel, in a statement issued midday Monday. The OBWB’s business case suggests a staff of 10 could be hired, with an annual budget of $5 million in fees collected from water rates. The staff would work on water sustainability planning, strategic water research and support for water licence enforcement. Janmaat’s presenta-

tion noted the underlying purpose of the pricing is still very vague, saying it will neither curb the dayto-day consumption of water for the average person nor necessarily recoup funds spent managing water systems. The new groundwater regulations are expected to have the most impact on industry, forcing companies like Nestle, which draws groundwater for its bottled water operation, to pay for what they use and reputedly adding controls to oil and gas hydraulic fracking, water used to extract gas from deposit sites.

Seeing poverty first-hand inspired Hotel proposal gets education for women network initial nod from council Barry Gerding EDITOR
The reality of living in poverty for people in Nepal may seem surreal to comprehend for Canadians. But it is very real for the largely rural population of the Himalyan country, with 80 per cent of the land covered by mountain ranges that boast 10 of the 14 tallest mountains in the world, including Mt. Everest. Living in bamboo frame mudhuts, eating out of banana leaf bowls with the leftovers thrown to the goats, a hole in the floor for a toilet, thatched rice roofs, taps in the wall with no sink and likely unsuitable for human consumption and stoves made out of clay. The Intercultural Women’s Education Network was started by a Kelowna woman who went on a trip to Nepal and saw the extent of poverty. Focusing on the im-
portance of education for marginalized women in Nepal, the Intercultural Women’s Education Network has been active since 2005 providing 259 scholarships for females in rural Nepal and Kathamdu Valley. The organization was started by Michelle Bonneau, when she was living in Kelowna. An executive director of a counselling agency in town, Bonneau took a year off and went on a trip around the world, with the intent of finding what needs to be done and what can be done to help people in other parts of the world. Her trek brought her to Nepal, where she wanted to start something to help young girls get an education in the impoverished country. Bonneau has since moved to Montreal but remains very involved in IWEN, while the Kelowna chapter has been equally immersed in two specific projects, building a new
school and completion of the UNAKO House Community Centre. The school was completed by IWEN volunteers earlier this year, and their efforts have now turned to the community centre, intended to provide a place for women to empower themselves to support themselves and their families. A goal that IWEN sets aside money for is to assist local immigrant women as well, from any country, with things such as language support lessons, social gatherings, job seeking assistance and an introduction to local community support systems. Ann Haymond-Hill was among the group from Kelowna who traveled to Nepal five weeks ago to work on the community service projects. “It was a 123 kilometre bus trip just to reach the village and it took 12 hours along windy roads with sheer cliff drop-offs,”

Efforts to fundraiser for the UNAKO project will be enhanced by an event organized by local IWEN supporters for Thursday, May 15, 6 p.m., at the Laurel Packinghouse. When completed, the brick community centre in Nepal will provide under-privileged women and young girls with opportunities for education, vocational support, literacy and perhaps most importantly a symbol of hope for their futures. The evening here will include a presentation about western Nepal’s Deng Region, some samples of Nepal food, along with information exhibits and a slide show presentation by six students and two teachers who raised money to travel to Nepal and assist with the project.

In what one Kelowna city councillor described as a “love-in,” a grandiose plan to build a 24-storey hotel on the city’s downtown lakeshore has been given an initial nod of approval. The plan, years in the making, received praise from all members of city council on hand for first reading of a rezoning application Monday. The rezoning would allow part of the project to be built on a road adjacent to the site, one that city would close and sell to the developer. The rezoning application will go to public hearing June 10. “If the mayor were here, he’d call this a love in,” said Coun. Colin Basran. “He’s not here so I’ll say it for him.” Gray and Coun. Andre Blanleil were both absent from Monday’s council meeting and Coun. Maxine DeHart excused herself as she has a conflict of interest because she works for another major hotel in the city. Edmonton-based Westcorp wants to built the single-tower hotel,

which would be perched on top of a five-storey “pedestal” base at Mill Street and Queensway, site of the former Willow Inn. The site is separated from the lakeshore by Mill Street and Kerry Park. As part of the development plan, the company wants the city to close the section of Mill Street that runs along the edge of Kerry Park and sell it to Westcorp so part of its development could be built on what is now a public road. A walkway separating the development from Kerry Park would be built but no part of the park would be used for development or would be rezoned. The application and public hearing to close Mill Street has yet to go to city council but Phil Milroy, head of Westcorp has said closure of the street and purchase by his company is critical to the multi-million dollar development. Following a description of the 214-room, elliptical shaped tower hotel, councillors praised the proposal as just what the city needs. While it is five storeys taller than the city’s downtown development guidelines allow, a height variance is expected to be granted. “The height is not an unreasonable proposal,” said Coun. Robert Hobson, who predicted the building would be an iconic site in the city. His feelings about the proposed height were echoed by Coun. Gerry
Zimmerman. Their council colleague Mohini Singh described the building as “elegant,” and one that would add a vibrancy to downtown. Coun. Gail Given praised Westcorp for going “above and beyond,” predicting the development would be a “jewel in City of Kelowna’s crown.” And Coun. Luke Stack, sitting in for the absent mayor, said he felt the hotel, with its accompanying conference facilities, restaurants, bar and other amenities in the five-storey heavily glassed pedestal base, would be “the kind of place you would want to be.” The base, which tiers down as it gets closer to the water and to the nearby heritage building that currently houses Kelly O’Bryan’s restaurant at the corner of Mill Street and Bernard Avenue, will front directly onto Kerry Park. Westcorp plans to build and operate the hotel, saying it will not only compliment the larger conference facilities already in place at the nearby Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel, but also allow the city to host larger conventions because there will be more “quality” hotel rooms in the immediate downtown area of the city. In addition to the hotel proposal, Westcorp has already built, and currently operates the $5.1 million public pier and commercial marina downtown. The pier is located directly in front of Kerry Park.

Need for change to Agricultural Land Commission questioned Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The need to make any changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve and how it is governed is questionable, a local economist told the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council last Thursday. UBCO economist John Janmatt’s presentation highlighted the litany of questions stirred by the controversial Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act 2014, currently in the hands of agriculture minister Norm Letnick. The council is the technical advisory board for the Okanagan Basin Water Board. and offered unique perspective on the issue. “How broken is the current system and does it really need to be changed?” asked Janmaat in interview after his talk. “Are we suffering that much and, if there are these big glaring problems, lets see them rather than these simple little antidotes of the odd person who doesn’t like it.” Janmatt’s presentation pointed out the amendments to the act do not address the concerns outlined in the Auditor General’s 2010 review of the ALC, which noted mapping of the reserve’s boundaries is weak and oversight of the “delegated authorities” needs strengthening. Those delegated authorities include six regional panels created in 2002 and the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission, which has been handling review of requests for boundary adjustments and removal of chunks of the ALR pertaining to the oil and gas industry since the mid’90s. The massive amount of legislative change in the province—the creation of the new Water Sustainability Act, the Parks Amendment Act, the Agricultural Land Commission amendments—is pegged by pundits as paving the way for oil and gas expansion, but Jaanmat
sees another culprit in the ALC amendments. “Most of the applications come from municipalities and developers not from farmers,” he said. “So it’s not really about benefiting farm families, but it’s about enabling landowners to either get their land directly out of the ALR or at least to subdivide it or start new activities so they can get new activities out of the land.” Grape grower Hans Buchler, a former director of the B.C. Agriculture Council and member of the council, suggesting only six per cent of the applications that come to the ALC requesting variances and changes to the protective land reserve come from farmers. Janmaat’s presentation mapped the lands removed and added to the ALR in this province and the results clearly indicated land is being taken out in the Kootenays, along the border where wealthy Calgarians might want to shop for small estate lands, and in pricey Coastal communities. The main issue highlighted in media reports on the amendments is the proposal to divide the province into two zones with super protections for the south—the Okanagan, Vancouver Island
‘‘
…IT’S NOT REALLY ABOUT BENEFITING FARM FAMILIES, BUT IT’S ABOUT ENABLING LANDOWNERS TO EITHER GET THEIR LAND DIRECTLY OUT OF THE ALR OR AT LEAST TO SUBDIVIDE IT OR START NEW ACTIVITIES SO THEY CAN GET NEW ACTIVITIES OUT OF THE LAND. John Janmatt, UBCO economist
and Lower Mainland— and more lenience in zone two—the Kootenays and the north. The presentation thus offered motive: removing valuable real estate in the Kootenays, Several water stewardship council members suggested the logic behind the amendments is also scientifically flawed. “Soils being better in the south, that isn’t necessarily the case,” said Denise Neilsen, a researcher at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. “The Peace River soils, for example, are potentially very productive soil. It’s really climate that is the limiting factor.” Both Neilsen and her colleague Scott Smith said climate data indicates growing seasons are getting longer in the north, making the land far more valuable and indicating the premise of the twozone system backward.
The amendments also place subdivision decisions in the hands of local panels, Janmaat noted, saying there is already research indicating this approach is disastrous. Drawing on a study done by Ryan Green, out of the Environmental Law Clinic at the University of Victoria, he suggested local panels are far more susceptible to listening to the local advocates and approving subdivisions than a Agricultural Land Commission body. “We love the Agricultural Land Commission,” said Coldstream councillor Maria Besso. Local councils are happy to turn over decision making to a power and be one-step removed from the process, she said, as it’s the best way to protect the land reserve from the persuasive argument of a friend or neighbour of the council. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Forced into social work
T
here’s a reason why we call them first responders. Police, firefighters and paramedics are the first people called when we need help. It used to be for fires, car accidents or falling from a tree. But soon police, firefighters and paramedics are going to have to add ‘social worker’ to their job descriptions. When they’re walking or biking the beat, police are often
the ones contacting social service providers for people in need, checking on vulnerable people to ensure they’re safe, and diffusing dangerous situations. It’s a specialized skill set that used to fall to case workers. As the provincial government closes facilities for people with mental illness, reduces services and resources, case loads for social workers increase and people simply fall through the
cracks. Where the police used to be the last call, now they’re often the first. Care for people with mental illness, brain injury or developmental disabilities is complex. With fewer doctors available to take new patients, those high-maintenance clients are left calling crisis lines and walkin clinics for stop-gap measures instead of solutions. Add in poverty, poor nutri-
tion, barriers to housing and it doesn’t take long for someone barely getting by to suddenly end up in crisis. It takes a community to raise a child, but it also takes a community to ensure that our most vulnerable people are safe and cared for. That means access to food and nutrition, health care, adequate social services and affordable housing—not a jail cell.

jumps the line. By rejecting staff’s recommendation—which would have realigned Abbott Street and sold off some of the land east of the street for development—the local residents may not get to have the park and play in it too. At least not in the near term. The issue for those who opposed the city’s original plan three years ago and who pushed for a park so vehemently this time around, land loss has always been the issue. They believe all the land was purchased for park and that’s what it should be. So the city turned to who it considered “stakeholders” to come up a solution.
It held a three-day design workshop, a charette, featuring representatives of area groups as well as members of the public. According to the leader of the charette, three of the four tables came up with a variation on the plan that included realigning Abbott. One envisioned the alternate. Staff recommended the former, council went with the latter. And for good measure, the five councillors who voted for the winning proposal threw in the proviso that two lots to the north not be sold to help pay for the park. So the city will not pass go, will not collect the estimated $1.7 million it felt it could get for the lots and will
not have that money to put toward the park. That loss pushes the estimated price tag of the park to $5.4 million from $4.7 million. So now city staff have to figure out how to come up with the money to make the selected option work. Meanwhile, some councillors are already hearing from disgruntled residents who don’t like the decision. Of course if it had gone the other way, they would be hearing from the folks who are now rejoicing. With an election coming up, it remains to be seen if council’s decision was a vote winner or a vote loser. Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor.

▼ KITIMAT REFINERY
Diluted bitumen too dangerous at sea To the editor: In a letter to this paper (Transport System Can Handle Diluted Bitumen, May 8 Capital News) Greg Stringham, on behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, makes assertions about the behavior of diluted bitumen (dilbit) in salt water that are at best half-truths. He states that dilbit floats on salt water and that it is no more dangerous at sea than other types of oil. That is wrong. It is more dangerous at sea, and infinitely more so than refined fuels like diesel and gasoline.
What Stringham doesn’t mention is that the same report from Environment Canada that he quotes from, goes on to say that dilbit sinks in seawater when there is sediment present. Another study by a top U.S. environmental chemist, Jeff Short, says the same thing. It was filed by the Gitxaala Nation to the National Energy Board in March 2013, so Stringham is well aware of it. That study says animal and plant matter like plankton, as well as sediment, cause the dilbit to sink. Our entire coast has
sediment and plankton in abundance. All our rivers are glacial and full of silt. Plankton is omnipresent, which is why the whales are here, and shallow seas like Hecate Strait throw up huge amounts of sediment from the bottom in storms. Dilbit will sink in our waters if there is a spill and it will harden up like caulking material on beaches and the intertidal zone. The intertidal zone includes large mud flats in the midcoast because the tidal range is more than 20 feet there. How would we ever get them clean again? Stringham also says
our Canadian oil industry is interested in the Kitimat refinery idea. That is news to me. I have talked to all the companies and there is no interest whatsoever. That is why I am spearheading the project. It will keep dilbit out of tankers and provide an enormous value-add for B.C. Canada’s oil industry needs a west coast pipeline. Coastal First Nations, the Yinka Dene First Nations, Prince Rupert, Kitimat, Terrace, Smithers, the provincial and federal NDP, the federal Liberals, the provincial and federal Green Party, many blue collar unions
and the majority of folks in B.C. are against Northern Gateway’s idea of putting dilbit in tankers. A refinery is economically viable. Why is it so hard for our oil industry to see that the way forward is to build a green refinery which will cut greenhouse gases by 50 per cent, create thousands of jobs, generate billions of new annual taxes, and gain acceptance for a safe pipeline?

Writer confused where cyclists, walkers belong or was unable to move out of the cyclist’s way. I hope this incident has convinced J. Bush to walk on the correct side of a trail and to be a little more flexible in situations such as this. Remember the order of things is a bike wins over a pedestrian and a car wins over both a bike and a pedestrian. That’s just the law of physics. Good luck in your future walks, J. Bush.

I sympathize with your concerns, and the cyclist may have been going too fast, but you were partly at fault here. On a shared pathway we walk and cycle on the right side, except for passing, to minimize conflict. You state that you and your wife were
walking on the left. The cyclist, no doubt, was not expecting you there. Perhaps he didn’t notice you in time, and was irritated that you were deliberately walking in his path. You mention this was not the first time. By simply walking on the right side, you may begin to experience fewer of these confrontations. Arlene Maxwell, Kelowna

GROUSE RIVER
Concerned Grouse River staff members, family and friends took matters into their own hands on Sunday, May 4, and removed 1,500 lbs of garbage from the Postill Lake Road area. Postill Lake Road is a favourite destination for local off-roaders, but has also developed a reputation as a garbage dump in the local community. The area is usually littered with shotgun shells, debris, discarded furniture and household trash leading Postill Lake Road to become a hot topic of debate in the local media. “The environment is incredibly importance to us and to our customers. Most of us use the Postill Lake Road area and we know our customers do also—it was time that somebody pitched in and took the initiative to clean up the mess. Our social committee loved the idea and ran with it,” said Doug Jack, Grouse River retail sales specialist. With this philosophy in mind, the clean-up became a company event, spearheaded by the Grouse River staff social committee and supported by the Regional District of the Central Okanagan, Urban Fare and the Glenmore Landfill. RDCO supplied garbage bags and gloves for the clean up crew and the Glenmore Landfill took in the trash at no charge. Urban Fare donated food for a barbecue and kept the volunteers well fed over the course of the day. “What better way to get out and do something positive for our community. We had great people, good friends, a ton of community support and we made a huge impact on a spot that we all love,” said Todd Jones, Grouse River staff social committee chair.
Technology innovation centre unveiled Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EIDTOR
Plans are in the works to build a six-storey building at the corner of Ellis Street and Doyle Avenue in downtown Kelowna to become an “incubator” for new technology companies. The proposed Okanagan Centre for Innovation would be a 9,848-square-metre facility, slated for city-owned land beside the main downtown branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. The site is currently a grass lawn. According to the plans, confirmed by the city, the state-of-the-art building will house everything from two-person start-ups to large technology and innovation firms. Publicly-supported space and services will also be available for early-stage companies, non-profits, community groups and social enterprises. While the building would be built by a developer on the 2,025-squaremetre site, it will be a joint venture of Okanagan College, Accelerate Okanagan, the Economic Development Commission, the city and the non-profit Kelowna Innovation Society. The city is negotiating a long-term lease for the property.

Currently, zoning on the land would allow the building at its pro-
posed six-storey height, say city officials. One of the features of the building is that it would be connected to the library next door on the main and first floors. The building, designed by local firm Meiklejohn Architects Inc., is described as a contemporary, stateof-the-art facility designed to respect the environment and its neighbours and to honour the Okanagan’s natural beauty and landscape. A rooftop patio with trees and a walking path will enhance the location’s views and cre-
ate increased opportunities for tenants and the public to enjoy time outdoors. The project will seek to adhere as much as possible to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) principles, and will include extensive windows, and a large central atrium to increase natural light and reduce energy use. An open house on the project will be held on May 28 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the downtown library. More information can be found at the website Okanaganinnovation. com.
unprecedented contracts for the Kelowna operations.” In the past two years, FormaShape has developed new business lines in amusement park rides, radio telescopes, automotive body panels and Hollywood film productions, including work for blockbusters like Superman and Elysium. The company also secured a onetime contract to build two kilometres of illuminated architectural claddings for a bridge constructed in the Caribbean islands. And, FormaShape
has signed a long term supply contract with one of the largest petroleum brands in South America. “There was a time when FormaShape could plan our labour needs around the cyclic waterslide season” explained Darren Basset, operations manager in Kelowna. “Now with our wide diversity of customers and new technologies, we are in a constant state of seeking skilled employees….” Bassett expects the Kelowna plant to hire an average of seven to eight new people every week starting in the
middle of May right up through August and September. And it is not just manufacturing labour that is in short supply at FormaShape, as the company has immediate job openings for administrative support, graphic arts, production management, fibreglass fabrication, automotive body work, mould building and five plant axis machine operators.” For more information on FormaShape job postings, see www.formashape.com.

that was everybody’s way of travelling back then. They used it for fishing, travelling and going back and forth.” Louis said building a canoe typically takes two-and-a-half to three months. The students will get to participate in some of the hands-on building, such as sanding the boat. “We’ll try to get them to where they can do some of the work inside so they can feel that they’re part of it.” Very little of the black cottonwood log will go to waste. The piece that was removed when the log was hollowed out will eventually be made into paddles,
seats and backrests. The canoe that’s created will be fully functional. Although no plans are firm just yet, Savoie said he could imagine field trips potentially taking place in the future where students are given the opportunity to explore the water in the canoe they helped build. Louis agreed getting out on the water is an important part of the educational experience. “They can learn about what it feels like…because once you get on the water, the water is a great healer,” said Louis. “When you get out there with the canoe… there’s no greater feeling.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Afghanistan veterans honoured Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The National Day of Honour was marked at Kelowna International Airport Friday with the unveiling of a plaque by s the British Columbia e Dragoons, Okanagan Vale ley’s military regiment. The plaque, recognize ing the 33 members of the n Canadian Armed Forces e from the Okanagan who y served in the 12-year Afghanistan combat misg sion, will be mounted above the Coming Home sculpture in the terminal that depicts a returning solider being greeted by a child. “The BC Dragoons have a long history in the Okanagan and close ties t to YLW,” said Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, chair of the airport advisory committee. “This regiment was a part of the original airport terminal building dedication in 1968; as well, many members of this unit have been deployed on United National and NATO missions through YLW, including 33 men and women who went to the War in Afghanistan.” The National Day of Honour was designated by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in recognition and commemoration of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan and the sacrifices made by both the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families.
More than 100 people came out to YLW for the dedication ceremony by the B.C. Dragoons, including local MP Ron Cannan, many former and retired members of the Canadian Forces, current serving members, representatives of the Royal Canadian Legion and airport tenants. One of those on hand was Capt. Howard Hisdal of the B.C. Dragoons, who trained, and in some cases even recruited, the local men and women o the Canadian Armed Forces who served in Afghanistan. It was his idea to install a plaque recognizing the soldiers’ efforts. “I thought we should have something permanent for people to see,” said Hisdal. When the idea of installing the plaque at the airport was made, he thought it was a fitting place given that the Coming Home statue is already there and the historical connection the B.C. Dragons have with the airport. Coming Home was presented to the City of Kelowna on May 14, 2011, by the Dragoons in honour of the regiment’s centennial celebration. The airport was chosen for the plaque because it was both the “jumping off” and returning point for Okanagan soldiers who headed to, and returned from, Afghanistan, said regimental Sgt.-Maj. Sean

Parker. Parker, who served several tours in Afghanistan, said he was proud of the work Canadians did in the war-torn country— all the work, not just the combat mission. He talked about infra-
structure development, supporting the Afghan people and education, saying that he expects the pay off to be in the years to come. “We may not see the success until the children born in the last few years grow up,” said Parker. The British Columbia Dragoons is a reserve armoured regiment based in Kelowna and Vernon. The Dragoons earned 12 battle honours in the Second World War and provided individual members and formed sub-units to the regular United Nations force for operations.

which strengthens bones and muscles. It burns fat and causes the brain to release endorphins, natural chemicals that active painkillers and reduce anxiety. Sex also seems to prompt the release of substances that bolster the immune system. Some studies suggests that sex three times a week can slow the aging process. The physical exertion associated with sex is about the same as walking up two flights of stairs. Continuing to have sex will preserve your sexual vigour beyond middle age. Sexually active people have higher levels of naturally produced sex hormones. An important predictor of how active a sex life people will have in later years is their physical health. Some negative factors that can affect sexual response and desire are obesity, smoking, lack of self-confidence, depression, performance anxiety, and alcohol abuse. Lack of sexual desire can also be sometimes related to underlying health problems like diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure and prostate problems. And although Viagra is very popular these days it can pose a risk for men who have angina or other coronary artery disease and should not be used. Always make sure that you consult your doctor before taking any new medication. Aerobic exercise helps improve your circulation and endurance. Even if sexual inter-
course is not possible hugging, holding hands, touching and loving brings health, wellness and enjoyment. Humans are mammals, pack animals that crave physical intimacy and touch. Just watch any nature show, we born to play with each other, cuddle and make love. Loneliness and lack of contact with others is a serious issue among seniors. Intimacy and connection are important whether you’re married or single. Studies have proven that seniors who are involved in small groups, exercise programs and other social activities are happier and live longer than those who live in isolation. If you’re single make friends, offer yourself to others, be social and make connections, Caring about other people will leave you feeling happier and fulfilled. In the very least perhaps a four-legged friend is all you need? A recent study of heart attack victims also kept track of who did and who did not have a dog. The no dog people were six times as likely to die of a second heart attack as the dog owners. Pets can help reduce depression and stress, less on loneliness, lower blood pressure and increase social interaction and physical activity. So continue to play and cuddle up!

After almost a year of planning, Kelowna Veendam Sister City Association’s preparations are starting to take shape for a delegation from Kelowna to visit its sister city Veendam Holland in 2015, to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands. The delegation of about 40 people will include the Kelowna mayor, members of The Kelowna Veendam Sister City Association and veterans. KLO Middle School plans to send 20 students as part the delegation as well, accompanied by two chaperones and a small contingent of interested parents. In preparation for the student cultural exchange, two Winkler Prins School (Veendam) teachers were in Kelowna earlier this month to work out the logistics and discuss the cultural exchange itinerary with the KLO school staff and the students’ parents. The KLO students will be hosted by the parents of the students of Winkler Prins School. A delegation of Dutch students from Winkler Prins School will return to pay a reciprocal visit to Kelowna in May 2016. While in Veendam, the KLO students will visit with Winkler Prins teachers and students. In addition, they will visit the historic Westerbork Concentration Camp (holocaust museum) where the Nazis concentrated Jewish prisoners during WWII, and prepared them for shipment by train to their last destination, the extermination camps such as Auschwitz. They will also take part in a tour of Amsterdam to learn of its cultural history, view the many canals and historic windmill sites. The KLO student group will also take part in the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of The Netherlands which includes
a remembrance Services in Veendam on May 4 and the liberation ceremonies on May 5. The liberation ceremony takes place in Groningen, where veterans and school children are involved in a wreath laying ceremony in memory of the fallen, and plant species of Canadian trees in the Canadian Liberation Memorial Forest dedicated by the people of the Netherlands to Canadian Veterans who fought for their freedom. Leaving Veendam, the Kelowna delegation and students will finish off their tour of the Netherlands by visiting other points of interest such as the Apenheul Monkey Zoo, Apeldoorn, Arnheim’s famous bridge the allied forces saved from being blown up by the German Forces in 1944 depicted in the movie “A Bridge Too Far” before visiting the city of Nijmegen. The group will also visit Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery, plus Overloon Liberty Park War Museum, which has the largest collection of Allied and German fighting equipment in Europe. The 35-acre site was where the largest tank battle on Dutch soil took place in the autumn of 1944, killing more than 2,500 Allied soldiers. Most of the displays are original fighting equipment left on the battle field after the fighting. The group will visit The Hague, the site of the International Justice Court, part of the Charter of the United Nations Justice System dealing with International War Crimes. The trip will wrap up with a visit to Madurodam, a fascinating miniature model city depicting life and commerce of the Netherlands, as well as tour through colourful tulip fields.

Busting the myths about hospice palliative care “Receiving hospice palliative care means you’ll die soon.” “Hospice palliative care is just for seniors.” “I can only get hospice palliative care in a hospital.”
These are just some of the misperceptions health care professionals face with patients on a daily basis. During National Hospice Palliative Care Week this month, an effort was launched to bust some of the most common hospice palliative care myths. “People tend to think that hospice palliative care is offered only for seniors with advanced illness— which is not the case” said Laurie Anne O’Brien, president of the Canadian Hospital Palliative Care Association. “In fact, hospice palliative care is provided to people of all ages—from children, teens, to younger, older and senior adults. “For instance, people may not even know that Canada already has six freestanding children’s hospices to help meet the need. “No age is exempt from receiving a life threatening diagnosis, to being prepared for and eventually having to face the final stage of life. “We need to continue to advocate for and make sure that all people have access to quality skilled hospice palliative care services, no matter their advanced diagnosis, age or location.” Sharon Baxter, executive director of the CHPCA, says hopsice palliative care offers a flexible set of services such as f physical, psychological, rsocial, spiritual and prac-tical support for people with life-threatening illlnesses, and to their famrilies. “It focuses on what people need and want at any given time, both prior to death and during bereavement. Canadians need to understand that hospice palliative care is broader than pain and symptom management in the final days of life,” said Baxter, Hospice palliative care can be offered in a variety of settings, including the home. “According to a recent survey, 75 per cent of Canadians would prefer to die at home, but only 51 per cent believe they will be able to,” said Nadine Henningsen, executive director of the Canadian Home Care Association.
“Increasing awareness of hospice palliative care services and dispelling the myths around them will help improve access
to these valuable services where Canadians want them—in their home.” Chronic diseases account for 70 per cent of all
deaths, and if we do not have a functioning, integrated hospice palliative care system, even more of us will die emergency
rooms, suggested Henningsen. The CHPCA urges Canadians to share these statistics, whether it’s with
a friend or your locally elected politicians. For more information see www.chpca-acsp.org/ week.
National Hospice Palliative Care Week was coordinated by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association.

Carter starts anew with expansion RedBlacks Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
EDMONTON ESKIMOS
WEST Kelowna product and six-year CFL veteran Matt Carter will play this season with the expansion Ottawa RedBlacks.
A two-year stint with the Edmonton Eskimos now in the books, Matt Carter hopes to launch a new and prosperous phase of his Canadian Football League career in the nation’s capital. The 27-year-old West Kelowna product, who signed in the off-season with the expansion RedBlacks, is about to take up residence in Ottawa for the start of the franchise’s first ever training camp on May 30. “The city is absolutely buzzing, and there’s a lot of hype and excitement surrounding the club,” said Carter. “The (RedBlacks) have secure owners, and while the team is just new to the league, the fans of Ottawa are really embracing us. It’s an exciting situation to be a part of.” A graduate of the Mt. Boucherie high school football program, Carter is about to enter his sixth CFL season.
Matt Carter After spending his first three years in Hamilton, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound receiver played the last two seasons in Edmonton. And when both his field time and overall production with the Eskimos fell off considerably in 2013, Carter decided the time was right to explore his free agency options. “I enjoyed my time in Edmonton, I appreciated what they did for me, but I just thought it was time for a change,” said Carter, who has 52 catches for 738 yards and four touchdowns during his career. “Just the situation the (Eskimos) were in, I played a lot less snaps, and any
time that happens it makes you hungry for a positive change. I’m not going (to Ottawa) expecting anything, it’ll have to be earned and there will be a lot of competition. I’m fully at peace with the situation and ready to go in there and make a contribution.” Carter is joining some familiar faces in Ottawa, including offensive coordinator Mike Gibson, receivers coach Travis Moore and quarterbacks coach Marcus Crandell, all of whom he has worked with during previous stops in the CFL. And with veteran quarterbacks Henry Burris and Kevin Glenn, and up-and-comer Thomas Demarco at the controls for the RedBlacks, Carter can’t think of a much more attractive scenario for his seventh year in the league. “We’re incredibly deep at quarterback and, of course, that’s such a key part of any ball club,” said Carter, who signed a one-year deal with Ot-
tawa, with the team holding an option for a second. “I worked with Kevin for three years in Hamilton, I worked with Hank in April at mini-camp, and Demarco is a good young quarterback. It’ll be good to get out there and start working with those guys.” From the RedBlacks’ perspective, signing a player with Carter’s character, experience and leadership abilities was a relatively easy decision. “He’s a good receiver, a good athlete, a good person and just a character individual,” said RedBlacks’ GM Marcel Desjardins. “Those kinds of players are hard to find. We have coaches who have worked with him and know him in-depth, so they know what to expect. “Matt has been around, he has those leadership attributes and that’s something that’s very important with a young team like we have.” In addition to ex-

OC Coyotes fall to Prairie Baseball Academy in quarterfinals Seven runs in the final two innings ultimately led to the end of the Okanagan College Coyotes’ season, as they fell 8-7 to the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs in the quarterfinal of the CCBC championship tournament Sunday in Lethbridge. The Coyotes and
Dawgs traded single runs
in the first inning. Yotes’ starter Joel Lamont then shutdown the three-time defending champs for the next three innings. Meanwhile, the Coyotes offense went to work scoring twice in the top of the second inning, then three times in the fourth. The Dawgs finally got
to Lamont in the fifth, as the right hander gave up three runs, to bring them within two with a 6-4 score. The Coyotes offense responded with a run in the top of the sixth, restoring the three run lead. But in the bottom of the inning Lamont al-
lowed two more runs, before being pulled in favour of Marcus Drewry. The pitching change didn’t seem to bother the Dawgs as they scored two more off Drewry, both unearned. In his final collegiate game Garrett Wiese helped lead the charge
with a pair of hits and two RBIs. Tyler Pentland recorded two RBIs and Aaron Barrett and Braedan Heyland each had two hits. The Coyotes, who finished the season-ending tourney at 2-3, outhit the Dawgs 9-5, but three defensive errors at key
times did not help matters. The Dawgs went on to win their fourth straight CCBC title after beating the top ranked TRU Wolfpack 5-1, who received a bye to the championship game after the round robin. The Coyotes headed home following their loss to the Dawgs.

Kelowna Rockets’ teammates Jordon Cooke and Nick Merkley are among the finalists for the Canadian Hockey League’s 10 major awards to be handed out next week during the Memorial Cup festivities in London. Cooke is the WHL nominee for goaltender of the year, going up against the OHL’s Alex Nedeljkovic (Plymouth Whalers) and Zachary Fucale (Halifax Mooseheads). Cooke won a career-high 39 games this season in helping the Rockets to a record-setting 57 wins and the WHL’s overall regular season title. “There’s no doubt Jordon was our most valuable player this year, he was the guy who raised his level of play when we needed him to,” said Rockets’ head coach

Carter to expansion RedBlacks Carter from A17 pecting Carter to make some key catches on offense for the expansion RedBlacks in 2014, Desjardins looks for the West Kelowna product to be a factor on special teams. “Matt isn’t the most physical guy, but he’s not afraid to get in there and get his nose dirty, and you can’t say that about all receivers,” Desjardins added. “We look for him to be a contributor on special teams.” Regardless of what roles Carter fills and with how much frequency he plays, the CFL veteran plans to put all of his energies and experience to work with his new team. “I’ve been a full-time starter, I’ve been a sixth man who rotates in, I’ve been on the practise roster,” Carter said, “…I’m a sort of journeyman and I feel like I know what it takes to be a pro through a long season. You need to be physically and mentally engaged to show up and play every day, and that’s what I plan on doing.” Carter and the Red-

POE’s Johnson signs with Trail Robbie Johnson, of the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy (POE) midget U-18 team, has made a commitment to play for the Trail Smoke Eaters for the 2014-15 BCHL season. Johnson produced seven goals and 11 points in

He has a bright future as a hockey player and after speaking with him and his family, we got a better understanding of his goals to receive a scholarship and play NCAA.”

Dear husband and father, passed away on May 6, 2014 at the age of 83 in Calgary AB, with his wife Klara by his side. He was born on May 16th, 1930 in Grenfell SK, to Jacob and Wilhelmina (Herndier) Ortt. Len and Klara married in Grenfell in 1952, and were happily married for 62 years. They farmed in Grenfell until Len moved the family to Kelowna in 1966. He built a successful construction business and after he retired, winters were spent in Arizona and summers back in Kelowna with the family. Len & Klara spent many hours enjoying their grandchildren’s activities in both Kelowna and Calgary. In their younger years Len and Klara were avid curlers and baseball fans. They discovered a love of travelling which started with a tent trailer, and progressed to flying all over the world. Len had a strong faith, and was very involved in his local church. Len is survived by his wife Klara, and his five children: Diane Ortt (Steve Klimuk) of Calgary, Lois (Frank) Buckland, Gloria (Warren) Finch and Lawrence Ortt (Brenda Colvin), all of Kelowna, Glen (Susan) Ortt of Calgary. He also leaves his ten grandchildren: Alex MacKenzie of Calgary, David (Rachel) Ortt of Edmonton, Aaron Samson of Calgary, Julia Samson of Vancouver, Justin (Daygen) Finch, Kristy (Joel) Goertz, Eric (Sanja) Finch and Matthew Ortt, all of Kelowna, Erica Ortt and Jacob Ortt of Edmonton. He also leaves seven great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and other relatives. Leonard was predeceased by his brother Walter Ortt and sister Gladys Baber. A celebration of Len’s life will be held at Grace Lutheran Church, 1162 Hudson Road, West Kelowna on Thursday, May 15th, 2014 at 2:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Heart & Stoke Foundation. Condolences may be posted on Valleyview Funeral Home’s online guest book.

a fast growing, spectacular plant. It blooms in the evening through to morning, attracting interesting moths for pollination. But a warning—plants and seeds are poisonous. Choosing plants adapted to dry heat means
the chore of watering pots is reduced. Plants still need to be watered in a pot as it is a confined space. Also the outside of the pot will heat up, causing soil to dry out faster than in the ground. The larger the pot, the longer the soil will stay moist between waterings. It’s important to Sunday, June 12, 2011 Capital News choose plants suited to the light conditions the pot will be placed in. For sun, good trailing, water-wise plants include creeping zinnia, lantana, and verbena. Marigolds, particularly the ferny-leaved signet variety add cheery orange, red or yellow. Dracaena spikes can be added for height contrast.

GARDENING WITH NATURE
Gwen Steele If roots are twining around themselves, loosen them so they will grow outward once planted. Cover the roots with soil. Water well once planting is completed. When you are transplanting plants, if they are not already dense and bushy, it is best to trim them back (i.e. pinch out the buds and blooms). This will make the plant grow much bushier and have a lot more flowers.

If the plants are in flower but need to be trimmed, you could wait until after you have given your potted arrangement to your mother and then discuss this step with her. All these annuals do very well planted in garden beds, where they need less water than in pots. A really tough and interesting centrepiece for a patio table can be made using a shallow planter of hens and chicks (Sempervivum). There are many varieties to choose from. An interesting stone or piece of wood could be added. These will grow in sun or part shade and need little water. Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

Gus would love a home where he could play fetch & entertain you. He really enjoys hiking, walking & is a great swimmer. He will do very well in an active home with guardians who are into activities. He is a little shy at first meeting, but will warm up. He gets along with dogs and CATS...bonus!! It is important to know that Jake is afraid of flapping fabrics & thunder, so he must be looked after for his safety. If you can provide him with a wonderful ‘forever’ home, ask our staff to set up a one-onone visit with him.
