Teachers initiate rotating strike action Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Schools across the Central Okanagan will be closed next Tuesday, as the dispute between teachers and the province escalates. BC Teachers Federation president Jim Iker announced earlier in the week that teachers were

implementing a rotating strike across the province as a continuing effort to get their contract demands met. The strike that affects 21,000 area students is expected to end next Friday, but the BCTF has indicated they’d be willing to push on in their efforts if the two parties do not make progress in the bar-

gaining sessions. It’s a move one mother at Watson Road Elementary school said she was OK with, should it be a one-off, but teachers won’t win her over with a drawn out strike. “I’m a stay-at-home mom, so it doesn’t make that big of a difference to me, if it’s one day,” said Heather Makordoff. “Last

Other parents queued up to pick up their little ones were a little less pleased with the news. “I don’t know all the details, but I’m a federal government employee and we were once promised a seven per cent wage increase over three years,”

The District of Lake Country is contemplating its options while the Kelowna Ogopogo Radio Controllers Association says it was a just verdict after the B.C. Court of Appeal reversed a court decision that had grounded the flying club from operating on a piece of farm land protected under the Agriculture Land Commission within the municipality. The B.C. Court of Appeal released its decision Tuesday, overturning an earlier B.C. Supreme Court decision which said the club couldn’t operated on the land because it wasn’t a use that was complementary to agriculture. The appeal court ruled that operating the model aircraft on land within the ALC was a permitted use as set out in the ALC bylaws. “The chambers judge unjustifiably restricted the ambit of the zoning bylaw’s “farm” classification to activities directly associated with agriculture,” read the ruling. “Properly construed, the “farm” classification permits complementary uses suitable to an agricultural setting. This includes activities not directly associated with farming but conducive to the setting in the sense that they do not disrupt or change the essential agricultural character of the land. “The club’s model aircraft flights fall within this category and consequently constitute permissible secondary use of the farm land.” Lake Country Mayor James Baker says he’s frustrated and disappointed by the ruling. “It’s quite the nuisance,” he said. “The club doesn’t seem to have any appreciation that maybe not everybody thinks buzzing airplanes is a wonderful noise. It’s disrupting the peace and enjoyment of a single family residential area and is detrimental to agriculture.” The remote control club was originally granted the right to fly on the land in question—a 20 acre parcel of private land the club leases—before Lake Country shut it down, citing its bylaws.

UBC Okanagan artists help to spur pipeline talk

The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline project The proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline is designed to provide Alberta-based petroleum producers access to Asian markets. The project proposes construction of dual pipelines between Bruderheim, Alberta, and a marine terminal in Kitimat. Imported petroleum condensate will be delivered to the Kitimat marine port by tanker, and then pumped east to Alberta through the smaller pipeline, which has a daily capacity of 193,000 barrels. The condensate is mixed with product from the Alberta oils sands to create dilute bitumen or ‘dilbit.’ The larger of the two pipelines has a capacity of 525,000 barrels per day and will carry the dilbit back out to Kitimat. Dilbit would then be transported by oil tankers to refineries around the Asia-Pacific region. To facilitate this transport, it is anticipated that approximately 220 tankers per year would dock at the port in Kitimat. The pipeline will include: • two major tunnels through the Coast Mountains (6.5 km and 6.6 km in length) • 773 water crossings • 10 pumping stations Enbridge estimates: • an increase of $1.2 billion in tax revenue over 30 years for the people of British Columbia • 3,000 jobs during construction and 560 jobs in long-term employment • Canada will see an increase of $270 billion in GDP • the possibility of a catastrophic oil spill could be expected once in every 240 yeas —from Andrew Barton, UBCO student researcher for, and connection to, the those places,” he said. “…There was one guy who ran river tours. People come from all over the world come to see this place because it’s untouched and beautiful, he said. And there was another woman, in Terrace, who said the fishing industry brings them $100 million a year in revenue.” Testimony emphasized the cultural and economic significance of what the environment naturally provides, like the critical need to protect salmon and hooligan fish for the people of Haida Gwaii. As islander Leandre Vigeault put it in her testimony: “The reason that people come back again and again is that the islands are unique and provide an opportunity to enjoy something that’s be-

coming rare in the world, untamed nature.” Reflecting on what he saw travelling the route, Barton said attitudes differed by geography, but also by life circumstance. He was struck, for example, by how different the views of First Nations people from treaty areas were to those where treaties had never been signed. In Treaty 6 and Treaty 8—the only two on the route—he noticed people were far more likely to have legal representation and be more resigned to the fact that it was going to happen whereas in B.C. or West of the Rockies— non-treaty areas—attitudes were more defiant. In Barton’s estimation the findings of the Joint Review Panel are flawed,

Drug seizure involves toddler A two-year-old child was seized by social workers after Mounties busted an alleged Kelowna drug operation where litres of the date rape drug as well as a wide array of other illicit substances were found. The police executed a search warrant at a Mission-area home May 11, following a three-week investigation into the activities of a prolific offender. “Police seized 11 litres of GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate), one

pound of marijuana, various quantities of ecstasy, methamphetamine, heroin, hash oil, steroids and psilocybin as well as prescription pills,” said Const. Kris Clark. “In addition to the drugs, police also seized a significant amount of cash and recovered a variety of stolen property from within the house.” The two-year-old was located in the home and police immediately engaged the appropriate ministry, said Clark, not-

ing the danger to children wasn’t limited. “Of further concern to police is the location of the house as it was found to back onto a local elementary school,” said Clark. “The sale of drugs brings social and economic harm to our communities by increasing criminal activity in residential areas. Considering that this home was right next to a school with access to so many young children, the potential for harm was incalculable.” Desiree Kovacs, 24, of Kelowna, has since been charged with a number of drug and weapons offences, remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on June 6, 2014. A 27-year-old Nanaimo woman, a 29-yearold Kelowna man and a 31-year-old West Kelowna man all face possible charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. All three have been released for court at a later date.

The Kelowna RCMP responded to a report of a home invasion on the 1100 block of Findlay Road, May 19 at 8:55 a.m. “A 41-year-old Kelowna man was at home in bed when two men kicked in the door and threatened him at gun point,” said Const.

They are propelled by electric motors and internal combustion engines. Mayor Baker said it’s unclear what the district’s next step will be, saying they may petition the ALC to review the proposed permitted uses within its bylaws. “We still have to have a closer look at the decision and see why it was they ignored the permitted uses in the sense that the ALC meant it be used by aircraft that were complementary to agriculture production, not hobby aircraft that are detrimental to agriculture,” he said. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

‘not in my backyard’ kind of attitude,” said Davis. “Most of the neighbours I have talked to really like us there. There are only a select few that are against us. “You talk to most people around and they love the air show.” The original court case centred on the club’s use of an unpaved airstrip on the property. Both the Agriculture Land Commission and the Lake Country bylaws have among its uses for farm land an unpaved airstrip. Lake Country argued that the bylaws meant uses associated with farming while the remote control club maintained the bylaw was broad enough to cover other associated uses such as weddings and social events and should also include remote control flying. After the Supreme Court ruling in Lake Country’s favour in October 2013, the club was asked to leave immediately and had been looking for other areas to fly in. While the appeal was underway, the club continued to use a portion of the property on a month to month basis. Davis admits the land in Lake Country isn’t ideal for the flying club, which originally operated near Sexsmith Avenue in Kelowna dating back to the late 1970s, then

From now until approximately November, the public won’t be able to use the Mission Creek Greenway Regional Park access at Lakeshore Road. That area will be closed while the City of Kelowna replaces the bridge over Mission Creek as part of the Lakeshore Road upgrade project. Signs will be posted at key access points along the Mission Creek Greenway multi-use trail, advising that trail users cannot access the Lakeshore Road trailhead area while the bridge construction is underway. A turn-around will be in place on the north side of Mission Creek at the Lakeshore Road construction site. A number of alternate trailhead and parking locations are available during the construction closure. People can still access the Mission Creek Greenway and parking areas at the Mission Sportsfields, KLO Road, Casorso Road, Mission Creek Regional Park (Springfield and Durnin Roads and at the end of Ziprick Road) and the Hollywood Road south entrance to Scenic Canyon Regional Park. When the bridge replacement and road project is complete, an underpass will provide safe access to the popular regional Greenway recreational trail.

CedarCreek unveils concert lineup

CedarCreek Estate Winery announced this week that The Barenaked Ladies and Chantal Kreviazuk will perform this summer at the Kelowona winery’s Vineyard Pavilion. Kreviazuk, a singer-songwriter, activist, model and two-time Juno award winner, will perform at CedarCreek July 17, and The Barenaked Ladies come to town Sept. 5, which will mark the winery’s 25th anniversary. This year, proceeds from the Telus Sunset Concert Series will benefit the Kelowna Rotary Centre for the Arts.

“With only 400 seats, the concerts at CedarCreek are a truly intimate experience,” said Scott Locke, general manager of CedarCreek Estate Winery. “Watching talented artists play from just a few feet away in a breathtaking backdrop, surrounded by vineyards and the rose garden makes for concerts that sell out each year. “In 2014 again, we have practically sold out both shows to our Winery Platinum Club members, who get priority booking access to winery events.”

Tickets went on sale to the public Wednesday, online at www.selectyourtickets.com. “Telus is pleased to support the CedarCreek Sunset Concerts again this summer,” added Michael McCarthy, with Telus customer solutions. “This renowned community event is a perfect mix of scenery, talent and taste…The event benefits Kelowna’s Rotary Centre for the Arts, which enhances arts and culture within the Central Okanagan, and does so while celebrating the very best of our incredible Okanagan weather, music and wine.”

Kelowna man car-jacked while doing a good deed

Kathy Michaels

STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna resident Robert Polyak was expecting to help a carload of people he believed to be in need Tuesday morning, when he instead found himself on the receiving end of a serious beating and ultimately the victim of a car-jacking. “It all happened really fast. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it,” he said, hours after the violent theft that took place on a residential road just before 6 a.m., May 20. “I lost my car, all my

ID, my daughter’s new laptop, the money in my wallet, money in my car… the tools in my car.” Polyak’s 2009 Subaru was found by Mounties mid-morning, burning on a forestry service road, and his head showed the result of the beating he suffered. There are 11 staples shaped in a crescent where the violent force caused his skin to split. By his account, the incident came as a surprise after he stopped to help three men and a woman who were standing beside their vehicle with the lights on and the hood up. He’d never seen them

mixed messages You should never mix spray heads, rotors or drip irrigation in the same zone. The water application rates for each of these types is different. For example rotors apply approximately half the water of spray heads, if you set your timer to the correct amount of water for the spray heads, the areas with the rotors will not get enough water and you will end up with dry spots. If you then set your timer to the correct time for the rotors, the areas with spray heads will be drowned. Check the manufacturers specifications of your heads to determine the gallons per minute for you water pressure to ensure proper coverage and water timing. Drip irrigation is the same reasoning, drip irrigation works on application rates of gallons per hour, whereas rotors work on gallons per minute. If you combine these two types of irrigation in one zone, the drip irrigation will not deliver enough water to your plants, wheras if you set the amount of time to for the drip irrigation correctly you could end up with a pool in your backyard where the sprays and rotors are located. Over and under-watering are major factors that affect the health of your plants which can lead to disease. It is also a major waste of water.

before, and noted they all looked like clean-cut people in need of a hand. “I was coming northbound up Gordon Drive and I saw them just as I was passing Cameron. I turned around and I rolled up the window, and said, ‘Do you need help? I have tools in the back of the car,’” he said. “I pulled up my car, put it in neutral and pulled the emergency brake. I was just about to let go of my seatbelt and whack. I got whacked on the back of the head and went down.” A few more hits to the head with what he believes to be a retractable metal baton followed, as did kicks from the three men who’d gathered around him.

KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS

ROBERT Polyak says

he was attacked Tuesday morning while trying to do a good deed. Polyak said they uttered nothing as they delivered the beating, although he kept telling them that he wanted nothing to do with what was happening. “I was just covering my head and trying to scurry away,” he said. Then, he said, one of

the men told another to get into his car. A woman and another man got into the car that was supposed to be broken down and they all drove away, in the direction of the Mission. He immediately called the police, and asked them to take him to the hospital. There he had a bit of a

revelation. “I said to the police, ‘I’m never going to help anyone again,’” he said. Then I realized, no, I’m not going to let this change me or change who I am.” Polyak grew up in Merritt, and said that his

small-town farm-boy ethic will continue to influence his desire to help others. Mounties continue to investigate the case. “It’s a strange event,” said Const. Kris Clark. “We have a few pieces of the puzzle that we’re trying to fit together, but it’s really too early to say what actually occurred.” Clark said they’re also investigating a mugging that happened just a block away from Polyak’s attack. That incident occurred in the same area and involved a 20-year-old man who was walking on Gordon Drive when he was robbed and then stabbed. The victim was able to get to KGH and is expected to make a full recovery.

of overhauling the trades training facilities at Okanagan Colleges’ Kelowna campus. On Wednesday, college officials, students, dignitaries and politicians were back at the campus on KLO Road being told the time had come to break ground on a stateof-the-art, three-storey building to expand the trades department. “The provinces investment in the renovation and expansion of the trades training facility at Okanagan College will provide a significant return for our students and employers and industry partners who rely on them Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. He said the new building will complete the work started shortly after the province announced its money in 2012. That work, to date, has included renovating and expanding the existing workshops, creating a large outdoor large workshop space for students and planning the new building. The total project at

Okanagan College will cost $33 million, with $5 million to be raised from industry donors. The work will enable the college to bring back hundreds of students currently studying at two off-campus sites in Kelowna. When the new building opens in 2016, an estimated 750 more trades students will be accommodated at the KLO campus, said Hamilton. Currently there are about 1,800. The number of OC trades students has more than doubled in the last 10 years as demand has increased. The new 5,500square-metre building, along with expanded and renovated existing workshops, will allow OC to increase the education it offers by expanding its hours to handle more students, said John Haller, the former dean of trades at OC who is now the development officer with the Okanagan College Foundation. He is leading the fundraising effort for the trades training centre.

Both Hamilton and Haller said while work has been ongoing since the province announced it would fund the project over a three-year period back in 2012, much of the work has been done away from public view at the KLO Road campus. But that is about to change. Much of the existing trades department, housed in an original section of the 50-year-old Kelowna campus building, will be torn down to make room for the new building. It will front KLO and displace part of the existing parking in front of the college. The new building will be built to meet the Living Building Challenge standard, the most energy efficient level in the country. The rest of the improvements have been built to a LEED platinum standard, say college officials. “(This project) sends a strong message about the importance of trades training and the value we place on our tradespeople,” said Hamilton. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna Hyundai, Buy Direct raise $10,000 for surgical centre Kelowna Hyundai and Buy Direct Truck Centre has donated more than $10,000 to the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre, to help purchase new medical equipment for the facility. The month long initiative to raise money was coordinated with the dealership’s Operation 200 promotion. For every vehicle sold during the month of April, John Kot and Guy Lemieux, owners of both dealerships, promised to donate $50 per vehicle, with the goal of selling 200 vehicles to reach a total of $10,000. Between both locations, a total of 202 vehicles were sold. The Interior Heart and Surgical Centre will open in early 2015, to provide

timely, much needed surgeries to patients who in the past may have had to travel outside the region for this level of health care. “We are proud to support the IHSC in their efforts to help residents gain treatment locally,” said John Kot, president of Kelowna Hyundai and Buy Direct Truck Centre. “As my daughter has been affected by a serious heart condition since birth, I can sympathize with families having a sick family member that requires very specific care.” If you’d like to find out more about the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre, visit www.bealifesaver.net.

Parks are for everyone

D

idn’t we all learn about the importance of empathy and sharing back in kindergarten? It seems silly that the Vancouver Island community of Saanich dog pound officers are having to hand out tickets to dog owners who apparently missed those lessons. These officers aren’t just getting push back from some owners; every week they’re getting an earful from enraged dog walkers who say that banning dogs from certain parks is unfair, who feel discriminated against,

and who say issuing tickets for blatantly disobeying the bylaw is simply a tax grab for the municipality. Let’s put empathy in a different context. Just as a lot of people have fears of snakes and bears, there are also many people who are terrified of dogs, big or small. You might be agitated or upset if somebody let their offleash boa constrictor slither through the grass at Gyro Park and come up to your family to say hello. You know nothing of

that animal’s temperament or how friendly it really is. Just because dogs are a more acceptable domesticated pet than a snake and you choose to be an animal owner doesn’t give you the right to impact on someone else’s ability to enjoy a public space. Especially if that space is somewhere that has restrictions on animals. Saanich has more than 160 parks in its stockpile and only six of them don’t allow dogs in the summer. With such an overabundance of dog-friend-

ly parks, there is no reason dog owners need to bring their pet to a restricted area. Your dog will be just as happy playing at Arbutus Cove beach as it would be playing at Mount Douglas Park beach. Its enjoyment of a public space should not supersede another person’s ability to share that same park. Empathy doesn’t need to be a deep, emotional movement. It’s as simple as having courtesy for those around us. Sharing really is caring. —Victoria News

Why does life become expendable once we’re inside a vehicle?

B

rayden Denton made international news this past week. At age four he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. One year later, after a battle that included 30 rounds of radiation, the five year old died. He made news because his mother gave him a “superheroes sendoff,” the pallbearers dressed as the boy’s favourite comic book characters. In other international news this week, 17-year-old Kendall Moore, and her 19-year-old boyfriend Craig Wood died when their car rolled into

a lake near Prince George at a grad party. I am struck by the contradiction. Brayden is a symbol of how precious life is and the scratchPaul ing and clawing strugHergott gle we will engage in to stop it from slipping away. Kendall and Craig are symbols of the lack of care that we put into preventing those same, precious, lives from slipping away. They joined the others whose lives slip away as a result of motor vehicle incidents in B.C. at a rate of one every day or two (approximately 250 per year). Even a

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

modicum of care would have saved, and would continue to save, each of those precious lives. I brought this up over cards last night. My 79-year-old father and his wife were over to play Schmier. I would take the time to boast how well my father and I did against our wives, but that would probably be “bad form,” so I’ll just move on. Later in the evening, my 10-yearold daughter, Morgan, handed me a hand printed note: “united staits—13 mins death—115 die every day”. She had overheard us and, unprompted, did a little Internet research. I found confirmation of that statistic this morning, that someone dies in a motor vehicle incident in the United States

every 13 minutes. How can we show such intense, scratching and clawing care on the one hand and such a passing lack of care and concern on the other? I’ll remind you that the fatalities, as awful as they are, are just the tip of the iceberg. For every precious life taken in a motor vehicle collision, there are approximately 300 people injured, many of whom will never recover. Don’t you dare point your finger everywhere but at your own self, blaming those dangerous drivers who knowingly speed and break other rules of the road. We are, each of us, part of the problem and if each of us did our part the problem would be

solved. Most motor vehicle incidents are caused by simple inattention. Might it help if that symbol of precious life, that photograph of Brayden’s casket being carried by Spiderman, Superman, Batman and the Hulk, was glued to the middle of each of our steering wheels? If we are continually reminded of the year-long battle, including 30 rounds of radiation, that was waged to save one little boy, might we simply put the minimal effort into devoting our full attention to the road every time we drive? This is general information about injury claims and not a substitute for retaining a lawyer. Paul Hergott is a lawyer in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Old curbside recycling worked just fine Open letter to Premier Christy Clark: I’d like to make a statement regarding our recycling program that you want to change here in Kelowna. The program we have works beautifully. We pay enough through our taxes so that we can keep the perfect program that we have now. We can recycle everything, right down to plastic bags. It’s wonderful. Now you’re changing things so that not only are we being forced to do all the recycling employees do who work at depots by

separating all the recycling, we’re being prohibited from recycling certain things including plastic bags. We’re losing our nice, large bins and we’re being forced to store multiple small boxes. Why are you putting us through this nightmare? We’re paying for a service and now we’re being forced to make their jobs a cakewalk? Why not pay us to sort through all our recycling? Give all of us a cheque each week so that we get paid for doing work that should be

done by paid recycling employees. I don’t like how we’re being taken for the fools you think we are. Do not change our recycling program, please. It works just fine the way it is.

Lament for country music of a bygone era To the editor: My wife, her parents and myself watched the Billboard Music Award show Sunday night, May 18. We honestly thought we would hear some good musical performances. Oh how wrong we were. Most of the ‘artists’ we have never heard of and the snippets of their music/songs we did hear we are glad we didn’t have to sit through the whole song. We were looking forward however to see which country music art-

ist would win and see the Michael Jackson hologram, which was quite good by the way. Also the duet of Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert. The performance of Carrie and Miranda was dismal to say the least. I don’t know, but we could hardly understand a word they were shrieking and the song just seemed to drag on far to long. Maybe that’s because it was terrible. Both are good singers on their own so lets hope they don’t sing together again.

I don’t know when or how it happened but rapping does not belong in country music. Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Hank Snow, Brooks and Dunn even Hank 3 are country artists. We have not heard of Florida Georgia Line before and, in our home, we will not hear them again. How can anyone call that crap country music. Even the likes of Luke Bryon or any of the ‘new’ country artists that want to rap should not be performing country music.

Country music has gone from Walking After Midnight, the story of searching for a lost love, to The Quarterback where the quarterback gets a naïve young girl drunk, has sex with her and posts the pictures on the Internet. The new so-called country music has gone down the toilet. Which brings me to the local country radio station. They play this new country crap so there is no radio station that plays decent country music any-

more. Us older folks like older music, we do not have to conform and put up with this new crap. Yes there is Internet radio and TV channels that play great older country music but you can’t get these in the car. Bring back good/great country lyrics and a radio station that plays them. Thanks for ‘listening’ to a disappointed music lover. Blaine Ans, Kelowna

Protect your vision: Get regular eye exams years, more than half said the reason was they believed they have good vision. But many serious eye diseases that can cause vision loss have no symptoms and can only be detected through a comprehensive eye exam. May is Vision Health Month and CNIB and Doctors of Optometry Canada are calling on Canadians to protect their families’ vision by getting

Teachers contract changes

To the editor: Teachers do not want to be like lemmings. But ebecause of the pressure of their union they may have to be. I believe that many teachers when asked privately “Do you want to go on strike?” would reply, “No.” I wonder if it has occurred to anybody that the details of the original strike vote have changed. When teachers voted to

go on strike they were asking for 13.9 per cent over three years. The government was trying to implement a 10-year contract. That’s all changed. Now the details are different. The government is offering a six-year contract and the BCTF is now asking for 15.9 per cent over four years. Add to this that the government has offered a $1,200 signing bonus and

▼ THE EYES HAVE IT

To the editor: Is your family’s vision health at risk? A CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) study showed that more than a quarter of Canadians don’t believe that regular eye exams have a major impact on reducing the risk of vision loss. The same study reported that among Canadians who hadn’t had an eye exam in the past two

their doctor of optometry at least every two years, and seniors over 65 years old should book annual appointments. Besides a regular exam, there is more you can do to protect your sight. Always wear sunglasses when you’re outside as UV damage can cause cataracts, macular degeneration, cornea sunburn, tissue growths on the surface of the eye and eyelid skin cancer.

Nutrition can also play a part in vision health, so eat a healthy diet and stay active. Visit cnib.ca to fill out our Healthy Vision Checklist and make sure you’re doing all you can to prevent vision loss.

Relay For Life bonding for cancer survivors Crystal Hines CONTRIBUTOR

For the past three years, I have participated in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Kelowna. Every year I proudly don my Yellow Shirt and walk the survivor’s lap with my friends, family and fellow survivors. The survivor lap is the beginning of the Relay for Life and it brings together a community of people

that may not otherwise recognize the reason for our bond. We have all in one way or another, battled cancer. We are either a survivor, a caregiver of a survivor, or a living memory of a battle fought and lost. It is an incredible feeling to walk into an event and spot a yellow shirt across the grass and have an immediate connection with another person. I know that person has

fought, battled, and won, just like I did 14 years ago. In 1999, I was diagnosed with stage II colon cancer and underwent a bowel resection and eight months of subsequent chemotherapy. It was scary, it was painful and it was awful in every way that a person can imagine a cancer treatment to be. But I survived and I am a stronger, more dedicated and appreciative

person for it. When I was diagnosed it was almost unheard of to have someone diagnosed with colon cancer at my age (16). Something had to be amiss. And it was. Research allowed us to delve deeper into the mystery of my diagnosis and realize that my cancer was actually caused by a genetic mutation which led to an increased chance of colon cancer. Also, this gene could

be inherited. We now know that more than half my family possesses the gene that leads to an increased risk of cancer. Knowing this has always made me an advocate for cancer research and funding. But speaking out and being vocal in my own social groups wasn’t enough. It was time for me to reach out further. I found out about the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life here

CRYSTAL Hines is a survivor of colon cancer, diagnosed with the disease in 1999 at the age of 16. in Kelowna and knew I had to join. The relay itself represents a patients journey through cancer diagnosis, treatment and cure (hopefully). The relay begins when the sun is setting. This symbolizes the time that the person has been diagnosed with cancer. As the evening goes on it gets colder and darker and it represents the time when a cancer patient starts treatment. They become exhausted, weak and sad. Early morning before the dawn symbolizes the coming of the end of treatment for the cancer patient. It has been a long, hard battle, often with setbacks and unforeseen stumbling blocks, but thankfully the end is in sight. The morning light brings on a new day full of life and excitement. This person is no longer a cancer patient, but a survivor. Participants have the honour to share in this symbolic journey and share a kinship with those around them. But the relay isn’t just about research, it also supports patient services, prevention, education and advocacy efforts. Money raised from the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life helps with funding local community members affected by cancer in various ways, such as: providing transportation to and from treatment, providing counselling services or discounted lodging, etc. Support is key to anyone facing such a terrible disease and it means the world to fighters and sur-

vivors a like to know they are not alone. I’ve worn the scars of cancer on my body and on my heart for 14 years, This year, I decided it was time to share my story and proudly show my cancer colours. I have pledged to add one colour streak of either blue or yellow (the official colours of the Canadian Cancer Society) to my hair for every $25 donation I receive. I’m honoured to be additionally sponsored my Amici’s Hair and Day spa. They have diligently added streak after streak to represent my fundraising successes. Every colour streak in my hair represents the kindness and generosity of businesses and individuals around me that are dedicated to putting an end to this terrible disease. I relay and raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for life so that I can proudly walk into the future and know that there is hope, not just for me and my family but everyone who wants to see the end of this horrifying disease. For more information on how you can become involved please visit www.relaybc.ca or contact Sarb Tatla-Low, Relay For Life coordinator, at 250-762-6381 or statlalow@bc.cancer.ca. This year’s Kelowna Relay For Life takes place at City Park next weekend, May 31 and June 1, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. over the two days. Crystal Hines is a proud Canadian Cancer Society volunteer.

NEWS ▼ SCHOOL CLOSURES

Parents will face inconvenience Teachers From A1 said one mother, who asked not to be named. “That was pulled back and hasn’t been reinstated. Now teachers are asking for 13 per cent. “And they can strike? To each his own, I don’t know all the conditions, but we can’t strike.” Another woman waiting for her child identified herself only as a self-employed mother, and noted that she’s been seriously thinking about other options. “I know parents need to keep in mind that school is not a daycare, but this is certainly inconvenient,” she said. She also had questions about the validity of the union, noting that it was a divisive organization

seemingly out of step with the times. “This isn’t even a time where job security exists, anymore,” she said. Ultimately, she said, the whole thing has made her seriously consider enrolling her children in private school. Private schools, she said, would offer consistency as they’re shielded from the regular upheaval between the province and the teachers union. The relationship between teachers and the government has been tenuous since 2002, when then premier Gordon Campbell legislated an end to the dispute without resolving the concerns the BCTF had tabled during negotiations. Among those hot-but-

ton issues that have continued to cause a divide since that time is wage increases. According to recent government calculations, the BCTF is asking for a 13 per cent increase by 2016, while provincial negotiators offered 2.75 per cent. The other familiar issues of class size and composition have also made a reappearance. “B.C. teachers began low-level job action to put pressure on government and BCPSEA to bring fair offers to the table. Unfortunately, the employer has steadfastly refused to table any improvements to class size, class composition, and staffing levels for specialist teachers,” said Iker. “Teachers have twice

won the right to negotiate our working conditions, which are also students’ learning conditions, in B.C. Supreme Court. We expect government to bring new funding to the table to make those improvements happen.” Meantime, the province isn’t passively accepting the strike. It says it will likely cut wages by 10 per cent once teachers begin rotating strikes. All in all, the strife is something everyone wants to see resolved, said school board chairperson Moyra Baxter. “The board of education just hopes they will come to an agreement in a speedy fashion, because the uncertainty is difficult for everyone,” she said. “We were hoping that

Category 4: Teachers with four-year degree programs to their credit. School district superintendent Hugh Gloster said teachers in this category have been accepted to the school system under special circumstances, and often have gained qualifications in another jurisdiction. Category 5: Teachers with a bachelor degree plus a year of teacher’s training. Category 5-plus: Teachers with full teacher training, which usually equates to five years of schooling, as well as course credits typically amounting to half a master’s degree. Category 6 is for teachers with a master’s degree. Gloster estimates that 70 per cent of SD 23 teachers are in Category 5. “Another 10 to 15 per cent would have a master’s degree,” he said. “Category 5-plus is a new thing, where they can do post-grad work and get extra money.” by the end of the school year everything would be settled and schools would be operating normally.” The school board

has recently had to make some tough decisions with their budgets, following a $4 million shortfall. Baxter said whatever

agreement is reached will be funded by the province, and won’t impact the school district’s upcoming budgets.

Positive response registered for New Monaco development Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

There were very few complaints from those who attended a public hearing regarding Peachland’s biggest development project to date. New Monaco, a multiuse urban development on a 125-acre parcel at the junction of Highway 97 and Highway 97C, is aiming to create a fully sus-

tainable community of more than 5,000 residents, commercial businesses and light industry over the next 15 to 20 years. Tuesday’s public hearing included a presentation by Mark Holland, New Monaco’s vice-president of development, and more than 50 people attended. “It was very positive from a public input perspective,” said Peachland

Mayor Keith Fielding. Fielding said there were only four or five speakers and a few written submissions; however, the majority of responses showed support for the development. “They liked the concept. They liked the fact that New Monaco had done a really good job in public consultation prior to the public hearing (and) they like the sustainabil-

ity aspects of the development,” said Fielding. One person who is against the project suggested there should be a referendum when Peachland residents go to the polls this November. Another resident was concerned about losing green space to the development. Fielding said Peachland council will now consider the feedback it received at the public

Artistic caregiver inspires creativity in seniors Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Brandt’s Creek Mews has quite the muse indeed. His name is Graham Chambers and he is the creator of the Leon Avenue public mural. Now working part-time out of the Glenmore-area seniors’ home, he is helping a group of residents find purpose in their days with a communal project to pour lifetimes of talent and energy into. “Part of life is spontaneous,” he said. “And part of life is being able to contribute to something meaningful.” Chambers envisions walls covered with collaborative paintings inspired by top-tier painters, but started the project with just one: A Thomas Kinkade garden. Twenty people worked on the masterpiece— two of whom have since passed—and it is a legacy of their time together, with the names of every contributor who worked on the finished product deftly signed in the foliage. Chambers has a background in music, art and design and believes participation in and exposure to the arts is extremely im-

Graham Chambers

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

ARTIST can be added to the resume of many residents at Brandt’s Creek Mews thanks to the efforts of Graham Chambers. portant as we age. “You can have a pill or food with perfect nutrition, but it’s nothing without the chef to create the meal, to put it on the plate,” he said. Spending two decades of his life working as an interior designer, later with his own art studio, he went back to school and became a

care-aide four years ago. Chambers trained at Okanagan College, where he was taught the medical basics necessary for the work; but it was his experience in music years— he plays everything from the piano to the spoons to the accordion—that won him his job and brought the people of Brandt’s Creek Mews their talented

‘Pianoman.’ “It’s important in life that we do something significant,” said Chambers, noting it’s one of the Eden principles he learned in school. The Eden Alternative is an international organization dedicated to creating quality of life for elders and those who care for them and operates off

an inspiring creed and guiding principles. No matter how old a person is, or what challenges we face, life is about continuing to grow, it states. For some of the residents in Chamber’s art group, participating meant picking up a paintbrush for the first time, and some had to have adaptive techniques sussed out,

like a paintbrush on a stick to reach past the wheelchair to the canvass. “No one knew how to paint, but we were sure proud of ourselves and, when Graham put our names on it, that just finished it off,” said Shirlee McKinnon, who described herself as a complete novice, joking she was a paint-by-numbers kind of woman. Leon Lang, on the other hand, had plenty of artistic experience to bring to the table. As the creator of Lang’s House of Art at Reid’s Corner, he crafted garden statues for homes and gardens all over the Okanagan. Despite his gifts, the prospect of jumping in the mix spurred some trepidation

until he realized Chambers would help him finesse anything he felt was a mistake. “I wasn’t too swift on starting and then, with the help of Graham, I got going and I really liked it a lot,” he said. Anne McGuinness, a mother of nine from Canmore, said she always enjoyed art, felt it added to life, but never had the chance to make her own. Talking it over her time working on the painting with fellow resident Gerda Garthe, an immigrant from Holland who has painted since she was five, she said the project was something she could look forward to, never knowing quite what the day’s painting session would bring. The Brandt’s Creek Mews art group is looking to start again with a painting from local artist, Rod Charlesworth, and Vancouver artist Robert Genn serving as inspiration. In the meantime, Chambers says he’s really right back where he started in the interior design world, helping others add a splash of colour and some interest to their world. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Hollywood loves a sure thing: Remakes, sequels, re-matches

I

am going to avoid the obvious puns about how big Godzilla was this past weekend but it became obvious that the movie company was ecstatic enough with the almost $200 million worldwide gross that by Sunday they announced a sequel. However, the mutant lizard has some competition from some mutant humans this weekend. X-Men: Days of Future Past opens and, as far as super-hero movies go, this one could be as epic as The Avengers

Rick Davis movie. It serves as a sequel to both X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: First Class and is based upon a storyline in the comic series that involves both the present day characters and some from the past. They join forces in

CONTRIBUTED

X-Men: Days of Future

Past features the elder Magneto (Ian McKellan) and Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart)

order to change a major historical event and fight an epic battle that could save our future. Therefore, you will see the likes of Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian Mckellen, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin and Ellen Page star alongside James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Peter Dinklage. Already getting over 90 per cent favourable reviews from critics, according to Rottentomatoes.com, expect more sequels and spin-offs from

X-Men. In fact, the next sequel has already been announced featuring the younger X-Men and it has been announced that Channing Tatum will star as Gambit in the film with hopes to spin-off his character into his own movie. When you think of classic Hollywood onscreen pairings, you might think of Burton and Taylor, Bogart and Bacall or Tracy and Hepburn— but what about Sandler and Barrymore?

may not go down in history with the classic silver screen couplings, they have a proven track record. Their previous two outings, The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates, were both hits with the audience but not necessarily with the critics and their latest, Blended, will likely fare the same. They play single parents who go out on a blind date and instantly dislike each other. But when they each sign up separately for a fabulous family vacation at a luxurious Af-

rican safari resort for a week, they do not realize that they will be sharing a suite. They re-team with the director of The Wedding Singer and the supporting cast includes Joel McHale, Kevin Nealon, Terry Crews and Shaquille O’Neal. All I can say is that ever y time 50 First Dates is on TV, I stop and watch it—I hope Blended has the same charm. Rick Davis manages Landmark Cinemas 8. LCC163-GM@landmark cinemas.com

DONNA Denison with

just two of her many salad

Jennifer dressing creations. Schell

Donna and her hussband Dale Ziech own and operate organic Little eCreek Gardens farm that overlooks Okanagan Lake ron the west side. Their -businesses began. “In July t1995, Nature’s Fare in Or-chard Plaza allowed me oto do a demo with Dale’s ssalad greens (and the tdressing),” says Donna. d“I sold one case and then rthey bought a case. In ethose days we used a nhomemade label that I had drawn and photocopkied—the kids and friends ghelped me colour them all -in by hand.” d From that day, both -the organic salad greens nand dressing were in denmand. s Dale has since retired khis salad greens business to focus on his music but -Donna’s dressing business continues to grow. “Last week we shipped out 270 large cases of dressing (half Original and half Okanagan Caesar) to the Calgary CO-OPS—our big-

gest order to date,” Donna says. “I’m amazed and grateful.” Donna is moving the “factory” off the farm to a 4,000 sq ft facility on McCurdy Road. This new space will provide room for growth, a much-needed on-site storage space and it will allow foodies and culinary tourists a place to visit and see where the magic happens. Jasmine Stonebridge will be taking over as manager of operations for Little Creek Dressing and Donna’s son Jubi Steinhauer will be joining the family business. Donna pointed out that even though the overall operation will be bigger, “the dressings will continue to be created in small batches with integrity and love”—the magic secret ingredients. In addition to four all-natural salad dressings, she is also making fruit vinegars and organic sunflower oil. www.littlecreekdressing.com

SPORTS ▼ BASEBALL

Athletics’ Young leads by example Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

With due respect to all the players he’s coached, Evan Bailey would gladly take a team full of Jared Youngs. An 18-year-old infielder/pitcher with the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s Okanagan Athletics, Young is second on the club in hitting this season with a .354 average and has added a teamhigh 15 RBIs. And after some early-season arm problems, the Prince George product has returned to the mound where he earned his first win of the season last weekend against Whalley. But stats and numbers aside, Bailey said the 6-foot-2, 165-pound Young is pretty much the complete package every head coach looks for. “There have been times where he’s carried our team this season,” Bailey said of Young. “Jared’s not the most vocal guy, he really leads more by example. Just the way he carries himself, he’s a class act and just looks like a ball player. “He’s a guy with tons of ability, he’s a real spark plug for us,” added Bailey, “and he’s constantly helping out our younger guys. Jared’s a pleasure to coach.” Raised in Prince George, Young wanted to take his baseball to another level, and last season decided to make the move south to Kelowna to play in one of Canada’s elite midget-aged leagues. “Evan talked to me

and I really liked him, so I thought I would move here for Grade 12 (last year) and see how things

worked out,” said Young. “Evan’s a good guy to play for, I really enjoyed being on the team and with the guys, so I was happy to come back again this season.” Like so many athletic youngsters growing up in Canada, Young also played hockey—but in the end the natural lure of baseball won out. “When I was about 14, I decided baseball was the way I wanted to go,” Young said. “It’s really always been my main sport and I felt I was probably a little better at it than hockey, so that’s the way I went.” The baseball program at Minot State also recognized Young’s skill and aptitude on the diamond

“I did my best to put our best team on the ice and when you don’t win, it sucks.” –Jason Williamson

SECOND baseman JaredYoung leads the Okanagan Athletics in RBIs this season with 15. and rewarded him with a scholarship. Young will suit up for the NCAA Div. 2 squad in North Dakota next season. “I’m excited,” Young said of playing at Minot State. “I’ve talked to the coach there quite a bit and hopefully I’ll get a chance to play. I’m looking forward to trying to take my game to the next level.” Still, until that time comes, Young insists he’s focused on a more immediate task—helping

the Athletics win and getting them into the 2014 playoffs. “We’ve got a young team, only five of us returning, but we’ve shown we’re pretty competitive with the best teams in the league,” said Young. “If we can put together some wins and beat the teams we should, then I don’t think a top four or five finish is out of the question.” Young and the Athletics will host the Nanaimo

Pirates for four games this weekend at Elks Stadium. Saturday’s doubleheader begins at 3 p.m., with Sunday’s twin bill to begin at 10 a.m. The A’s are 10-10 on the season after taking three of four games from the Whalley Chiefs in Surrey, as Young drove in five runs and picked up a win on the mound. Matt Brodt went 5-for-9 at the plate, while Trevor Lofstrom and David Tongue also earned wins.

The Vernon Vipers cleaned out their lockers, said their goodbyes and moved on with their lives this week, four days after their hockey season abruptly ended in the Royal Bank Cup. The Vipers will also keep digesting a 6-3 loss to the Yorkton Terriers in Saturday’s semifinals of the national Junior A tournament. “It is gonna take some time,” Vipers’ head coach/ GM Jason Williamson said Tuesday morning. “I did my best to put our best team on the ice and when you don’t win, it sucks.” Williamson was rather numb as he took in Sunday’s final at Kal Tire Place. “I went to the finals. I

didn’t really follow it that closely because it was tough to watch. It looked like a tight game. It was great to see the crowd attendance. Vernon should be proud of the turnout for the tournament.” The Vipers lose half their team through graduation and NCAA scholarships, and they owe two players off their regular roster to the Surrey Eagles in the trade for Kelowna product Brett Mulcahy. “We are still in the process of figuring out what to send back,” said Williamson, who heads to Las Vegas as a guest coach at a junior camp, June 17 to 21. The Terriers derailed the Vipers’ quest for a seventh national title, getting two late empty-net goals. “Not much you can say at this time, it’s disheartening to have our season end like this,” said Williamson, moments after the loss.

“A cure for us would mean we could focus more on the game, and less on the pre-game.” Brothers Tucker, age 7 and Ozzy, age 12 Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 5 and 10.

Heat adds setter Schmidt to roster Nick Schmidt is transferring his setting skills to the UBC Okanagan campus for the 2014-15 Canada West men’s volleyball season. After spending the last two years with the Avalanche at College of the Rockies in Cranbrook, the Calgary native and Western Canada High School graduate has committed to the Heat, joining head coach Greg Poitras’ rotation of setters. Fresh off of a college season where he helped the Avs to a bronze medal at the PACWEST championships—including player of the match in the semi-final—the 6-foot-2 Schmidt will be the first setter from the Calgary area to join the program, “which is known for producing very good setters,” according to Poitras. “I watched Nick during this past PACWEST season and immediately felt he would help our pro-

gram right away.” Schmidt’s coach at College of the Rockies, Steve Kamps, emphasized the former’s high volleyball IQ and strong leadership skills, concluding that Schmidt developed into one of the premiere setters in the PACWEST. Kamps recruited Schmidt for his extensive volleyball experience right out of high school with Schmidt excelling for a variety of top clubs in Alberta including Canuck Stuff and the Dinos. Poitras expects the growth and success to translate well over into the CIS game. “Coach Steve Kamps is a close coaching colleague of mine and I know he has prepared him well for CIS volleyball,” said Poitras. “Nick is a determined athlete and has proven to be a great teammate in post-secondary volleyball. Schmidt’s plan has al-

ways been to transfer into UBC Okanagan’s sciences program and then get into a good team environment to continue his volleyball career. His two years at the College of the Rockies he focussed on his studies while in the pre-engineering transfer program at CotR. “When I came down for a recruiting trip in March, I knew UBCO was the right fit,” Schmidt recalled. “The team and coaching staff seemed focused on getting better and winning and I wanted to be a part of that.” Schmidt joins Adam Kern as freshmen on this year’s Heat volleyball team, he will provide depth behind Kristof Schlagintweit and hopefully push the Heat’s starting setter much the same way graduating college transfer Davis Proch had done these past two seasons.

COSA sailing Local sailors turned in strong performances as the Central Okanagan Sailing Association hosted its annual spring regatta over the May long weekend. Race officers, Ron Rubadeau and Steve Brunsden, were able to run nine excellent races on two courses thanks to strong winds. COSA sailors dominated the Hobie 18 fleet, with Frank Halperin and Darrell Skinner taking first, Gillian Thomson and Brishen Holmes-Slattery in second, and Allan, Ian, Kyle, and Logan Wright finishing in third place. COSA Race Team

member, Tyler Rubadeau, was once again the youngest sailor in the regatta at seven years of age. He and his brother Ryan, as well as Gabriela, Katherine, Mackenzie, and Alizon Littleton, Zane Halperin, and Cole Appleton, each took turns winning races in the ultra-competitive Opti-Green fleet. The COSA Race Team also captured strong finishes in the Radial class, with Ian Johnston racing to a 10th place finish in the regatta’s largest fleet. Thish Rajapakshe, Zoe Roberts, and Sam Carson came in 11th, 12th and 13th respectively, while Adam Soren-

Marathon Relay will add an exciting new element to the Marathon by welcoming runners of shorter distances who collectively, as a team, can potentially record very fast times.” With elite runners in their sights, Marathon Relay runners will challenge themselves with this fun team building activity. Like all runners of BMO Vancouver Marathon events, Marathon Relay participants will receive a medal, race bib, timing chip, and technic-

al T-shirt—all while pushing for fast times and running the beautiful 42.2 km course. Teams have two, three, or four runners; each runner covers a different distance or “leg” to complete the total distance. On race morning, first runners head to the start line while remaining runners gather at the shuttle pickup location. Shuttles transport second, third, and fourth runners to three different Exchange Zones along the course.

wen, was particularly impressed with the perseverance of Rajapakshe and Carson. “The winds were extremely strong, which resulted in multiple capsizes by both Thish and Sam throughout the first day of racing,” said van Leeuwen. “Despite the cold water and the exhaustive

nature of righting a capsized Laser over and over, both sailors finished every race. It was really inspiring to see the kids do so well, and to continue improving despite the challenging conditions. I expect we’ll be hearing lots about these sailors in the near future.” COSA will play host

Selma Kusturica (team-high five blocks) and Victoria Voth (teamhigh four steals) were strong on defense. “Overall this was a great team showing for us and our goal was to get better which we did,” said Heat coach Bobby Mitchell. “Our transition game and depth is very tough to match, even when down 10 or more points. We didn’t panic. We did our jobs and finished the game always playing 40 minutes We need to work harder in practice to maintain this and improve on our weaknesses.”

Find happiness in retirement W hen retirement has arrived, be happy. Take control of our own mood and be happy. You don’t have to be happy all day long; we can strive to be happy part of every day. Happiness is contagious. When we are around babies and young children, we automatically want to smile. Most people are happy around pets, or happy when they listen to music. Find something or someone to make you smile. Be active. Planning to stay active is key to happiness and sense of peace. Lack of planning leads to boredom. Every minute or hour does not have to be filled with an activity— you should set goals and make them happen. You can organize your activities on a daily or weekly basis—it does not have to be hourly. Be a volunteer and help out in our community. There are so many worthwhile organizations that need volunteers. Is it true that volunteers live a decade longer than non volunteers? I am going to keep volunteering until I find out if that answer is true. Stay in touch with friends and be open to make new friends. Re-

main close to the people we love. Staying close to family and friends sometimes requires effort—it is worth the effort. Doreen Being social is Smith good for our brain. The happiest people in the world do lots of socializing. Hobbies in retirement do not have to be expensive. In Kelowna, we have a wonderful (senior) activity centre located at Parkinson Recreation Centre. The current annual membership cost is $10. This is a multi‐use facility operated by the Parkinson Senior Society and the City of Kelowna, offering recreation and cultural programs to those 50 years of age or older. There are many varied activities offered. Exercise daily. Physical activity is key to keep us moving. Walking, cycling, swimming, hiking, stretching and yoga are all ways to keep us flexible as we age. Most of those activities are free, so don’t let the cost keep you from exercising. Go for a walk with a happy friend; take advantage of staying in touch with friends, physical activity and keeping your brain active. All of this is fun and good for us and does not cost anything.

Weight training for men and women increases muscle strength and protects against brittle bones. Women should not be afraid of weight training and building huge muscles. You can use moderate weight training exercises to build strong bones. Exercise your brain. Keeping your brain moving is as important as keeping your body moving.

A healthy diet is key to good health and increased longevity, and does not have to be expensive. Enjoy vegetables, seeds, nuts, oatmeal, blueberries and fruit.

CARMICHAEL, VELMA IRENE

May 15, 1915 – May 15, 2014 It is with much sadness that we have to announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Velma Irene Carmichael (nee Lunty). She was born in Sycamore, Alberta on May 15, 1915 and died peacefully in the morning of May 15, 2014 – the day of her 99th birthday. Mom was the matriarch of her very large family. She was predeceased by her husband, Maurice, on December 7, 1996. She was also predeceased by 4 brothers (Vern, Wayne, Lindy, and Glen – all Luntys), 2 sisters (Iris Thibault and Pat Kneeland), 1 sister-in-law (Alice Lunty) and 2 brother-in laws (Bob Kneeland and Leon Thibault). Mom is survived by her two sons, David (Joanne) and Hugh (Joan) all of Kelowna, four grandsons, Brian (Kim) of Courtenay, Ken (Delta), Brent (Tasha) all of Kelowna and David (Shawna) of Cranbrook. Mom was thrilled to have 8 wonderful great grandchildren (Olivia, Kaden, Sydney, Elliot, Lachlan, Kiera, Mira, and Shea.) who she loved with all her heart. She is also survived by two brothers, Wally (Doris) Lunty of Edmonton and Garth (Marj) Lunty of Forestburg, Alberta), 3 sister-in-laws, ( Irna and Dorothy Lunty in Forestburg, and Edith Lunty in Sedgewick, Alberta) and many special nieces and nephews as well. Mom let each of us know we were special to her. We are all left with many happy memories of her and, we are certainly going to miss her great hugs! The family wishes to express thanks to Dr. Ron Gore who tended to her needs for many years and to all of the staff on the Calder Court at the Cottonwoods Care Facility who gave Mom such wonderful care and attention. There will be no formal service at Mom’s request but the immediate family will gather privately in the near future in Mom’s honor. In lieu of flowers anyone wishing to should donate to the CNIB, Cottonwoods Care Facility or a charity of their choice in Mom’s memory. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and searching her name under stories. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna, BC (250)762-2299.

New Horizons program calls for community project proposals

T

he new Horizons for Seniors Program has called for proposals for community-based projects for 2014-15. The federal government is seeking applications for projects that will help Canadian seniors use their leadership abilities, skills and experience to continue to make a difference in their communities. NHSP community-based projects help empower seniors to share

MP’S REPORT

Ron Cannan their knowledge, skills and experiences with others and support communities by increasing their capacity to address local issues. The call for proposals will close on Friday, July

4, 2014. Organizations may receive up to $25,000 in grant funding for projects that address one or more of the program’s five objectives: volunteering, mentoring, expanding awareness of elder abuse, social participation and capital assistance. For more information on the New Horizons for Seniors Program application process and eligibility, please visit esdc.gc.ca/ seniors. •••

Teachers explain how they approach teaching students about Holocaust Three experienced School District 23 teachers will explore and elaborate on their approaches to teaching the Holocaust to their respective middle and high school students at the next Philosopher’s Cafe session. It will be held Wednesday, May 28, at the Okanagan Jewish Community Centre in Glenmore. Evan Orloff, Jason Hudson and Graeme Stacey will share classroom lesson examples and their personal insights into how to make the Holocaust meaningful and relevant to students of today. The trio have varied backgrounds and pedagogy, from participating in Yad

Vashem instruction in Israel and Yad Vashem Toronto, attending the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Holocaust Forum, giving local and provincial workshops to both teachers and students, as well as being award winning Holocaust educators as recognized by the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. They will provide a snap shot of their Holocaust teachings with a focus on how and why the Holocaust happened. At the conclusion of their presentation, questions will be welcomed and the Azrieli Foundation will provide a Holocaust survivor books/memoirs and DVD sources for participants to take home.

I want to thank the community organizers, sponsors and volunteers who were responsible for the inaugural Fresh Air Kelowna Cherry Blossom Triathlon, which was held May 4 in Kelowna. The race event was run flawlessly and the end result was a very successful and memorable. Special thanks to race organizers Graham Hood, Malindi Elmore and James Young for bringing together their years of racing experience and their passion for promoting fitness and fun. Once again our great volunteers and enthusiastic supporters have made Kelowna-Lake Country a great community. ••• Congratulations to Brian Moore, dispatch supervisor for the Kelowna Fire Department and deputy emergency pro-

gram coordinator with the Central Okanagan Regional Emergency Program, for his integral role in creating a ground breaking emergency information sharing system. [See the full story in the May 16 Capital News.] Triggered by his experience during the 2003 Kelowna fires, Moore collaborated with Ed Colin, of FDM Vancouver, to build a system which allows emergency managers and responders across the country to share real-time situational information to ensure a more efficient and effective response to natural disasters, serious accidents, crime, and acts of terrorism. The project was funded by the Canadian Safety and Security Program (CSSP), a federal program led by Defence Research and Development

Canada’s Centre for Security Science (DRDC CSS) in partnership with Public Safety Canada. ••• It was my pleasure to welcome Kelowna’s own Ralph Morrison to Parliament Hill on May 14 and to bring attention to his cross Canada road trip to raise awareness about the effects of bullying. At the age of 52, through his book “The Fear Inside,” Morrison found the courage to tell his own story about bullying and how he overcame his fear to speak out. He is reaching out to communities, boys and girls clubs, and especially troubled teens, in the hope that his experience will help those who suffer in silence to find the courage to speak out and begin to heal. Best wishes to Ralph as he continues his

cross-country journey to Victoria. I know his three daughters must be so proud. ••• I was very saddened to learn of the recent passing of Aaron Dinwoodie, former Central Okanagan Regional District director, colleague and friend. Dinwoodie was passionate about people and local government and he had an incredible knowledge and respect for First Nations communities. We spent several years working together on various committees and enjoyed many long conversations about politics and life. I know he will be missed by his family and many friends. Until we meet again, my friend! Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country. ron@cannan.ca.

Sandhill Winery to unveil new premises on May 31 STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart This week’s column is dedicated to long-time Kelowna eye doctor Don Lim. Since Dr. Lim’s passing, we have had many chats with long-time locals who knew him in his early practice. He was the DeHart family eye doctor and gave my husband Chris his first pair of glasses. He was well known for his patience and also his generosity to the community and especially to KGH. Personal condolences to Gloria, his family and many friends.

T

he new Sandhill Winery (next to Calona Vineyards) at 1125 Richter St. will host its grand opening May 31 and June 1, offering free tastings on those two days. The new premises are absolutely breath-taking with 22-foot ceilings using all the original wood and incredible huge beams. The new centre offers a unique wine experience, boasting an urban feel in an industrial setting. I’m sure everyone will not see anything like this in the valley, let alone perhaps in all of B.C. Sandhill offers three wine experiences—The Power of Oak, Challenge of the Terroir and Sip n’ Snack. Sandhill is the only winery that grows Barbera (Italian) grapes in Oliver. The winery’s hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

Howard Soon, who incidentally has been in the valley making wine for 34 years, is the master winemaker of Sandhill. Annika Cashmore is the manager of the wine boutique and hospitality. Call 250-979-4268. After 25 years, Ron “Zippy” Gilmour has retired from radio. Gilmour has done everything from mornings with Rob Bye (The Breakfast Brothers) to Kelowna Today (with Rick Ball, play-by-play of B.C. Lions and Vancouver Canucks) and the afternoon drive programs. When he was originally hired, the station was FM 104. The station then became The Lizard 104.7 and now it is Power 104. A familiar voice that will be missed. Karen Hawes, with Interior Savings Credit Union, has been elected to the board of the BC Chamber of Commerce for a two-year term. She also served as president of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce for two years. Roberto PerezLagos is the new sales manager at Don Folk Chevrolet, 2350 Highway 97 N, having relocated from Winnipeg. He has worked in the industry for many years with many different dealerships, a good portion of that time spent dealing with the Chevrolet brand. Had a nice chat with Roberto and he says that not a day goes by without him thinking about how beautiful Kelowna is. But then, he did come from Winnipeg! Call 250-8789447 or 250-860-600. Pauline Weninger is the new bereavement and complimentary care

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night.

Rutland Middle School

Community Connection May 2014

Spring into the Arts showcases student creativity On April 30th, at 6p.m. RMS opened its doors to the public for their Fine Arts Show, called “Spring into the Arts,” to showcase various skills; such as woodwork, metalwork, metal art and videos created by the video production class. Also, at 7p.m. the grade eight and nine dance classes put on a dance show in the gym; admission by donation. Among the woodwork and metalwork were also art displays; colorful paintings, clay creations, and detailed sketches. Yummy treats were also available by donation; cookies and warm drinks. At 6:45 the gym doors opened and guests were invited to be seated for the dance show; it was packed! 15

By Griffith Francis, Actor from Hedges and grade 9 student This past year I took part in one of two one-act school plays directed by Ms. Collinson, Rutland Middle’s Drama and Video Production teacher. The cast of my play “Hedges” has met twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, almost every week since November. The other play, “Chaste Across the Stage”, has met on a parallel schedule every Monday and Wednesday. The plays were performed this past Wednesday, through Friday, the 7th, 8th, and 9th. They began at 7pm and were presented all the way through the end, with almost no hitches. There was a concession available by donation, with cookies, brownies, coffee, and other things for the play-goers. The “Hedges” play, written by one Dave Carley, is a humorous “modern day parable about the arms race” according to Carley’s webpage. Our actors acted awesomely, they did their very best and everything worked out fantastically on all three nights. “Chaste Across the Stage”, by Dutton Foster, is just as fun. It’s about a greedy villain using all the tricks up his sleeve to steal the homestead of Aunt Absinth and her niece Chastity out from underneath them, in order to get his scummy hands on the mineral wealth beneath. The cast of “Chaste Across the Stage” performed remarkably as well, and everyone lived happily ever after. Well the actors did at least. Their characters however presumably met a happy, though untimely, demise at the hands of a train speeding through Aunt Absinth’s living room.

minutes later the show started, and there was a wide variety of styles, from a high energy country dance, to a touching dance dedicated to those lost to cancer. The middle school gym was transformed into a scene from an actual dance show, complete with ceiling high black curtains and many bright spotlights. Students really had a chance to shine in this dance show, showing their parents, teachers, friends and the public a taste of the hard work and dedication they put in. In between dances, the students of the video production class were showcased by playing their videos on huge screens attached to the curtains. It was definitely an event to remember.

Said a dance fitness student, “We’ve been rehearsing these dances since the beginning of the year; everyone’s put so much effort into this. There are a lot of people we wouldn’t have been able to do it without, like our dance teachers. Overall, it was a blast!”

In the RMS grade 9 metal art shops

students got to make a copper bracelet. First thing you need to do is get the copper from the teacher and then get string and measure it around your wrist to make the size of the bracelet fit. Then you need to use the string to figure out where to make the line. Then you need to cut the copper and then use the cap from the teacher and scribe around the cap. Then use the tin snips to cut the shape out. Then go to the disk sander and make the edges round since the tin snips don’t make it a perfectly round. Then go to the anvil and use the ball end of the hammer to make the bracelet curve then use the roller to make the bracelet more round. Then get some cleaner from the teacher so you can start polishing your project. After it’s clean rub off the cleaner with a rag and then go to the polisher. Put some polish on the wheel then start polishing the project you will get some polish on it you need to use a rag and put some force into rubbing it off after the polish is off it should be really shiny you can either hand it in or shine it more. I chose to shine mine more but that’s up to you if you want to shine it more. And that’s all you need to do.

Schools across the Central Okanagan will be closed next Tuesday, as the dispute between teachers and the province escalates. BCTF president Jim Iker announced earlier in the week that teachers were implementing a rotating strike across the province as a continuing effort to get their contract demands met. The strike that affects 21,000 area students is expected to end next Friday, but the BCTF has indicated they’d be willing to push on in their efforts if the two parties do not make progress in the bargaining sessions. It’s a move one mother at Watson Road Elementary school said she was OK with, should it be a one-off, but teachers won’t win her over with a drawn out strike. “I’m a stay-at-home mom, so it doesn’t make that big of a difference to me, if it’s one day,” said Heather Makordoff. “Last time, though, it was nearly two-and-a-half weeks, and that was too much.” As for whether she’s sided with the province or

Teachers’ salary grid as of June 30, 2010 Category 4: Teachers with four-year degree programs to their credit. Superintendent Hugh Gloster said teachers in this category have been accepted to the school system under special circumstances, and often have gained qualifications in another jurisdiction. Category 5: Teachers with a bachelor degree plus a year of teacher’s training. Category 5-plus: Teachers with full teacher training, which usually equates to five years of schooling, as well as course credits typically amounting to half a master’s degree. Category 6 is for teachers with a master’s degree. Gloster estimates that 70 per cent of SD 23 teachers are in Category 5. “Another 10 to 15 per cent would have a master’s degree,” he said. “Category 5-plus is a new thing, where they can do post-grad work and get extra money.” the teachers in their longtime fight, she wasn’t committed to either, but noted she didn’t want teachers to deal with out of control class sizes—a popular talking point in the debate. Other parents queued up to pick up their little ones were a little less pleased with the news. “I don’t know all the details, but I’m a federal government employee and we were once promised a sev-

en per cent wage increase over three years,” said one mother, who asked not to be named. “That was pulled back and hasn’t been reinstated. Now teachers are asking for 13 per cent, and they can strike? To each his own, I don’t know all the conditions, but we can’t strike.” Another woman waiting for her child identified herself only as a self-employed mother, and noted

that she’s been seriously thinking about other options. “I know parents need to keep in mind that school is not a daycare, but this is certainly inconvenient,” she said. She also had questions about the validity of the union, noting that it was a divisive organization seemingly out of step with the times. “This isn’t even a time

where job security exists, anymore,” she said. Ultimately, she said, the whole thing has made her seriously consider enrolling her children in private school. Private schools, she said, would offer consistency as they’re shielded from the regular upheaval between the province and the teachers union. The relationship between teachers and the government has been tenuous since 2002, when then premier Gordon Campbell legislated an end to the dispute without resolving the concerns the BCTF had tabled during negotiations. Among those hot-button issues that have continued to cause a divide since that time is wage increases. According to recent government calculations, the BCTF is asking for a 13 per cent increase by 2016, while provincial negotiators offered 2.75 per cent. The other familiar issues of class size and composition have also made a reappearance. “B.C. teachers began low-level job action to put

Tuesday’s public hearing included a presentation by Mark Holland, New Monaco’s vice-president of development, and more than 50 people attended. “It was very positive from a public input perspective,” said Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding.

Fielding said there were only four or five speakers and a few written submissions; however, the majority of responses showed support for the development. “They liked the concept. They liked the fact that New Monaco had done a really good job in public consultation prior to the public hearing (and) they like the sustainability aspects of the development,”

WFN construction ramps up Westbank First Nation will be working on a number of capital improvements this summer. Currently there are four projects planned: • Improve safety on Old Okanagan Highway. Curbing, sidewalks and streetlights will be installed, from Daimler Road to Grizzly Road

• Construction is underway on the third floor of the WFN government office. This updates offices, adds a lunch room and relocates and updates WFN council chambers • The WFN community acknowledged the need for a new youth centre in 2010 during a planning exercise. A

12,000-sq-ft youth centre will be located at 1900 Quail Lane, adjacent to the WFN community services building. Seventy per cent of the funding will come from general WFN tax revenues, 30 per cent from own source/ member revenues. Tenders for the construction project will be received

until May 28 with completion in the fall of 2015. • Sneena Road Overpass is underway. WFN is managing the project, with completion in November. The project includes an extension of Sneena, from Tomat to Campbell Road. Cyclist and pedestrian pathways have been incorporated.

Child porn charges laid A co-owner of Ultimate Hockey and Skate in Westbank Centre is facing two charges related to child pornography. According to court documents, Tyler Nowek has been charged with communicating via computer to lure a child under 16, as well as making or publishing child pornography. The charges appear to have caught many in the local hockey community off-guard, as Nowek is an avid supporter of West Kelowna Minor Hockey and the West Kelowna Warriors junior hockey team. One individual in Nowek’s hockey-related social circle told Capital News that police showing up with a search warrant at Nowek’s store was widely known in the local hockey community; however, the specific reason for the RCMP visit wasn’t commonly known. The West Kelowna Minor Hockey Association opted not to comment on the charges until it has the opportunity to meet as a board. Nowek is expected to appear in court May 26.

Gellatly repairs Detour along Witt and Carrall roads for at least five weeks. Work began Tuesday on Gellatly Road to repair the slope failure that forced the recent closure of the road. TT Contracting Ltd. has been contracted by the District of West Kelowna to begin the work, which is estimated to take five weeks. The work will involve the installation of a 1.8 metre diameter culvert for Smith Creek. Fill will then be placed on top of the culvert to help stabilize the steep bank on both sides of the creek. It is not expected that roadwork will be required, but this may change when brush and debris are removed from the affected area. The district has already installed an emergency bypass for the sanitary sewer line, owned by the Regional District of the Central Okanagan, which runs under the road, to prevent any environmental contamination should the pipe be damaged by further slope failure before the culvert is in place. As part of the work, an environmental assessment and plan will be con-

ducted to determine if any wildlife in the area must be accommodated, or relocated. The district closed Gellatly Road, from approximately Witt Road to Angus Drive, May 2 after a 160-metre section of the bank below the road began to erode. Mayor Doug Findlater declared a local state of emergency May 12; the district has received confirmation of $440,250 in funding to come from the provincial government through Emergency Management BC, with the support of the Regional Emergency Program, to conduct emergency repairs to the roadway. The detour along Witt and Carrall Roads will remain in place. Motorists are reminded that the speed limit on this detour is 30 km/h and that West Kelowna RCMP are routinely patrolling the area.

Unfortunately, the employer has steadfastly refused to table any improvements to class size, class composition, and staffing levels for specialist teachers,” said Iker. “Teachers have twice won the right to negotiate our working conditions, which are also students’ learning conditions, in B.C. Supreme Court. We expect government to bring new funding to the table to make those improvements happen.” Meantime, the province isn’t passively accepting the strike. It says it will likely cut wages by 10 per cent once teachers begin rotating strikes.

Dynamic Live & Layered Blood Analysis

What is the difference between Live & Layered Blood Analysis?

Live Blood Analysis is looking at the blood while it is still alive (approx. 30 min.) under a microscope. You are able to see how the red and white blood cells are formed, which gives insight into how the body is functioning. For example, you are able to see how dehydrated you may be, how you are digesting and absorbing your nutrients, if your liver is stressed etc. Layered Blood Analysis is also called the Oxidative Stress Test. It involves letting drops of blood dry, and as blood dries, it has a natural centrifugal action. We are able to deduce certain things by where and how the constituents appear once the drop dries. As the name implies, we are also able to see how much oxidative stress, or inflammation is occurring in the body, and where. Oftentimes, signs in the live blood can be indicators of more than one possible issue. Combining the two tests, gives a more complete picture, by confirming ambiguous Live Blood Analysis results. Furthermore, Layered Blood Analysis allows us to see indicators that the live blood doesn’t. For example, through Layered Blood Analysis, we are able to detect adrenal stress, heavy metal build up, lung stress, bowel inflammation, issues with the reproductive organs, and much more.

Q A

I put an ad in the paper and did not get a response. What could I do differently?

Frequency is the key to advertising. Running an ad one time is like shooting in the dark. I always say that probably only a third of the people see the ad the first time it runs, two thirds the second time and maybe everyone will have seen it the third time as people are away on holidays, or just didn’t get to read the paper that day.
