Man charged with 1993 Kelowna killing granted bail

Students send a message with protest

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The man charged with the 1993 killing of Jennifer Cusworth could soon make Lake Country his home. Neil George Snelson, 47, was ordered released from prison Tuesday morning on a surety of $75,000. If that amount is posted, a Kamloops judge ordered that Snelson move into his sister and brother-in-law’s Central Okanagan home, under strict conditions. Among the limitations he’s facing are a curfew that will see him in the house from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., as well as supervised excursions. His interim lawyer, Wade Jenson, said that there’s a publication ban on evidence heard in the bail hearing, but noted that the next court date is June 16. At that time, Snelson could have a new lawyer and may learn the court date for his upcoming manslaughter trial. Snelson has never been released from prison since his 2009 arrest. He remained in provincial custody throughout his 2011 trial, and went into a federal prison after his conviction that same year of manslaughter. That conviction was overturned last December when the Court of Appeal found that the trial judge was wrong to allow into evidence a statement Snelson gave police. Snelson has been out of the public sphere for a significant chunk of his initial sentence of 15 years, which may be why friends and family of the slain teen were so taken aback by the decision to grant bail. Cusworth’s friend Jennifer Watson was present throughout Snelson’s last trial, and said the news he would be released made her sick to her stomach. “Now he gets to walk the streets and live his life once more, enjoy the sunshine and feel the warmth on his face while our friend hasn’t been able to do that for over 20 years,” she said. “I shake my head and have cried today. (This) breaks my heart.” Cusworth, 19 at the time of her death, was found dead in a ditch on Swamp Road following a house party. Despite yearly pleas for evidence from her parents, the case sat cold for more than 15 years. Snelson will be tried for manslaughter in Kamloops court.

During her run as a student in B.C.’s public schools, Crystal Rehlinger has been forced to spend weeks at home that were designated for classroom learning. Now, in Grade 11, she’s missing classes for the third time, caught in the middle of the latest failed contract negotiation between teachers and the province. On Wednesday morning that prompted her to walk away from the table. Holding a sign reading, “We are people not pawns,” Rehlinger made a public plea to the feuding parties. Teachers and the province need to get their issues sorted “during summer or spring break” she said, so students could get the most out of their education. It was a message thousands of her cohorts across B.C. intended to get across that morning, despite warnings of repercussions from school district officials. The walk-out, organized through social media, however, did not have a tremendous pull locally. Rehlinger was one of only two students standing outside Kelowna Secondary School as the clock struck 9 a.m. Senior high schools in general had a very light showing, said School Dis-

trict 23 superintendent Hugh Gloster. The most significant at that level was George Elliot, where students had a mid-afternoon study session to show their frustration at lost class hours. Middle schools had the biggest showing. At Rutland Middle School there were about 30 students who walked out. One lone boy walked out of his elementary class, much to the chagrin of his father, said Gloster. Overall the turnout was disappointing to Rehlinger’s partner in political activism, Grade 11 student Isobel Kirk. “I thought more students would be interested in having our side heard, and making sure that we wouldn’t be used as a pawn between (the province) and teachers,” Kirk said. For her, the stakes are high. Rounding the corner into Grade 12, she’s balancing a raft of academic courses with extracurricular activity. “I’m in four academic classes, and I can’t get the help I’d usually get at lunch,” she said. “My studies are suffering. I had to miss a few classes because I’m in theatre, and the shows are after school. Now I’ve had to do them in class time and I’m falling behind.” Rehlinger has had similar struggles and she’s frustrated. “We have a

China investors Record number of degrees handed out buy local resort ▼ UBCO GRADUATION

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Lake Okanagan Resort has been sold. The sprawling resort includes accommodation, food and beverage facilities, 5,000 feet of waterfront, a nine-hole golf course and a 30-slip marina, as well as tennis courts and other recreation amenities, located 20 minutes north of West Kelowna on Westside Road on the shore of Okanagan Lake. While the listing company, Vancouver-based specialized assets group of Jones Lang LaSalle Real Estate Services Inc., announced the sale, no sale price was revealed. The asking price was $10.1 million. The resort was owned by a Calgary-based Northwynd Resort Properties. The buyer is being reported by Global Okanagan as being from mainland China and is connected to a large tourism organization in that country, prompting speculation this area could see

an influx of Chinese tourists thanks, in part, to the purchase. Developed in the late 1970s, Okanagan Lake Resort has seen major upgrades in the last five years, with the addition of two new condominium buildings, the marina, and a gas dock concession facility. It is currently rated as a three-star resort. Sitting on 74 acres, the property has 217 accommodation units, 64 of which are time-shares and 77 of which are privately owned. The new owners are expected to invest heavily in even more upgrades to the resort. The road leading to the resort, Westside Road, has been rated as one of the worst in B.C. in an annual public survey run by BCAA. As a result, the province has been slowly improving the road, widening some parts and straightening out some dangerous curves. Premier Christy Clark, the MLA for the area, has promised Victoria will do even more to improve the road in future.

Traffic stop leads to major seizure of cash and drugs Kelowna RCMP seized a significant quantity of cash and drugs after a traffic stop resulted in the search of a vehicle and a residence last Friday night. The Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Teams have been investigating a group of “dial-a-dope” drug traffickers believed to be operating out of a rental apartment in the downtown core. Last Friday, plainclothes officers conducted a traffic stop on a Mercedes ML320 as the driver was known to have been recently lost his licenced. Investigators observed evidence of drug trafficking and arrested the driver who was alone in the SUV. A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of a quantity of cash and two unknown pills but further investigation led police to search a rental suite on Ellis Street. In all, police seized over $16,000 in cash, 35 grams of crack cocaine, 125 grams of marijuana and 30 unknown prescription pills in the two searches. Police have already recommended several charges against associated individuals but the investigation remains ongoing regarding a possible connection to members of an organized crime group.

The UBC Okanagan campus will be buzzing with excitement and activity as convocation ceremonies take over the campus for two days this week. Nearly 1,600 students will graduate in six ceremonies to confer degrees. It is the largest-ever graduating class at this campus. Convocation starts today, with four ceremonies, and wraps up Friday with two ceremon-

ies. During the six convocation events, UBCO will confer 21 doctoral degrees, 162 master’s degrees, and 1,402 undergraduate degrees. Including those completed last fall, a total of 1,585 degrees will be conferred this week. In 2013, 1,452 students graduated from UBCO and in 2012, 1,306 students received degrees. The number of degrees has almost tripled since 2006, when

468 degrees were conferred at the first UBCO graduation ceremony. Deputy vice-chancellor and principal of the Okanagan campus Deborah Buszard says crossing the stage is the first step to becoming a fully-fledged UBC alumnus. “Their education at UBC will take our students places they never imagined,” Buszard said. “I encourage them all to remain en-

gaged in the life of the university as an alumna or alumnus—upon crossing the convocation stage they will join a global network of over 300,000 UBC alumni and a growing community of Okanagan campus graduates.” Go to www.graduation. ok.ubc.ca for more convocation information.

Student takes different journey to convocation When Sharalin McLeod began her education at UBC Okanagan, she had three big goals— to be included, to be a published writer, and to graduate with her peers. This week, she will tick the final item off her wish list as she walks across the stage during the graduation ceremony for the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies. McLeod came to UBCO in 2009 as an Access Studies student with support from STEPS Forward—a provincial initiative for inclusive post-secondary education. Over the past five years at UBCO, McLeod has become a member of the academic community; attending classes, lectures, and participating in assignments and social activities. As a participatory auditing student at UBCO, McLeod has engaged with the course material, completed assignments, presentations, and exams in more than 20 courses, with a her main focus being in creative writing. McLeod had taken some courses at another school, but says she was totally segregated from

other students. On the UBCO campus, she was treated like every other student and raised her hand to ask questions and participated in all assignments and exams. “I wanted to explore the opportunities of UBC outside of a segregated program,” she says. “I had taken some English, art and human relations courses at college, but I wasn’t included with the other students.” UBCO opened other doors for McLeod. Not only did she make friends with her classmates, but she also found volunteer opportunities at countless activities including CREATE New Student Orientations, worked as a marketing assistant for three years with Campus Life, attended several student leadership banquets and conferences, including one in Vancouver, and took on several public speaking roles. Most importantly, she felt like one of the gang. This spring, her second goal was accomplished when a poem she had written was published in the Common Ground, a UBC Okanagan anthology which is edited and

McLeod hopes to be a writer and while she is currently on the hunt for a job, she also spends lots of time keeping up her fiction writing skills as she’s working on a novel. English was her favourite subject and she is thankful to assistant professor Allison Hargreaves for all her support. “I learned so much about creative writing from Allison. And I learned that I can be as good a writer as anybody else. UBC has given me the passion to be a writer and not give up on my dreams,” McLeod said.

Hargreaves says having McLeod in her class was a joy and a privilege and she treasures the time they spent together. “Sharalin was one of the first students I met when I first began teaching at UBC Okanagan,

and I know each of my classes has been vastly enriched by her contributions,” said Hargreaves. “I am thrilled to see her graduate, but admit that I’ll miss her lively presence on campus and in the classroom.” And that last dream? When you mention convocation, McLeod grins from ear to ear. She will cross the stage today with fellow creative writing graduates in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies. She can expect thunderous applause from her fellow students, family, and friends.

IH offers reminder to update measles immunization shots Interior Health’s medical health officer is reminding members of the public to make sure their immunizations are up to date, particularly those protecting against measles. The Interior Health region has recently had one confirmed case of measles— in a travelling Albertan who became ill and was diagnosed in Penticton. Communities in the Fraser Health and Alberta experienced large measles outbreaks this spring. “So far, in Interior Health, we have only had one recent measles case, but that can change at any time especially with the increase in measles activity that we have seen in other parts of B.C. and Canada,” said Dr. Rob Parker. “Measles is a potentially severe illness caused by a virus and it is very contagious. The best way to prevent a measles outbreak here is by making sure our immunization rates are high.” Those born before 1970 are considered immune, as measles exposure in childhood was quite common in the decades prior to routine immunization. But for those born after 1970, the only protection against measles is immunization. It takes two doses of a measles vaccine to protect against the disease. In B.C., children routinely receive two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine at 12 months of age and again when they start kindergarten, unless their parents refuse to have them vaccinated. Anyone who received only one dose

of the vaccine is not considered to be immune. Parker said for those who believe they were properly vaccinated, it is very important to verify that two doses of the vaccine were received. This can be done by checking your immunization record. If you are not sure how to access your immunization record visit ImmunzeBC (http://www.immunizebc.ca/questions-answer/how-do-i-get-proof-myimmunity-or-where-can-i-find-myimmunization-record) or contact your local public health centre. Measles spreads easily through the air and can be passed to others by an infectious person for one to two days before symptoms develop and up to four days after the appearance of a rash. Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, and red and inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis). Those are followed by a rash, which starts first on the face and neck, spreads to the chest, arms, and legs, and often lasts up to a week. When a measles case is identified, public health staff contact all those who may have been exposed to the virus to assess their risk and provide immunization when needed. They also advise those who may have measles to take measures to reduce the spread to others. “When someone is experiencing measles symptoms, or if they have been in contact with someone who has measles, it is very important that they stay away from others to prevent spreading the disease,” said Parker.

No repercussions for protesting students Protest from A1 been compromised by the ongoing strife. As for choosing sides between the teachers and province, she pointedly said she chooses her fellow students. “I hope it gets resolved as soon as possible,” she said. Both girls noted that some teachers have told them they are in support of their effort to have their voices heard, as are their parents. Over in Rutland, some parents went so far as to join protesting students, despite alleged warnings that suspensions would be handed out to any students who skipped class. Those in attendance,

however, weren’t deterred. “They walked out on us, so why shouldn’t we walk out on them,” said one student in response to the disruption caused by teachers’ rotating strikes, which so far has resulted in two days of classes being cancelled in the Central Okanagan School District. Gloster said that there were no repercussions for those who walked out Wednesday. “We try to encourage our kids to be contributors, be engaged in these situations and ask questions,” he said. “Those are characteristics we’re trying to instill, we just wanted to encourage them to not lose more class time.”

Brown Road benches to get better view Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

What was initially done to take the focus off vehicle traffic on the newly revitalized Brown Road ended up looking just plain odd, according to West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. The $3.1-million Brown Road streetscape improvements wrapped up and the road was re-opened last weekend. One of the unique features of the improved street was the benches, which were purposefully placed to face the sidewalk instead of the road. “I drove down there on the weekend, and I thought: My God, this is strange,” said Findlater. “A bunch of them face blank walls. Unless somebody has big plans for murals on private buildings, which I’m certainly not aware of, this is very, very odd.” According to a press release from district communications supervisor Kirsten Jones, the benches were placed that way to take the focus off vehicles. “The attractive benches are deliberately placed to face the widened pedestrian corridor, providing places for people to sit and take in the new enhanced boulevard,” stated the release. But Findlater said he, other members of council and several residents aren’t sold on that concept. “I think most people would rather look across, through traffic, at some of the landscaping, rather than look at a blank wall,” he said. As of Tuesday, district staff were reviewing the situation with the design consultant, and plan to turn at least some of the benches to face the street. Findlater expected those changes within the next week. Other than the benches, West Kelowna’s mayor said he was happy with the improvements to Brown Road, which include: Roadway improvements and repaving; creation of designated parking; sidewalks and curb and gutter installations; the addition of landscaping, irrigation, street furniture and ornamental lampposts, as well as sewer, drainage and water main upgrades. “Brown Road looks great. It sets the gold standard for downtown revitalization. It’s a bit unfortunate this particular item of the benches has taken the focus off the rest of it,” Findlater said. As for the rest of Westbank Centre revitalization, the mayor said the only way the district can afford to improve its core is one road at a time. “There is so much to do in so many places and only so much money. Glenrosa, Shannon Lake Road, Boucherie Road, Elliott Road: They all need this kind of treatment. We can only get to them one or two projects at a time according to the funds we have.”

Meantime, teachers and the province continue to negotiate. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has reduced its pay increase proposal by one per cent over four years and offered other concessions in a move to end the stalemate that has led to two weeks of rotating strikes in public schools. The new BCTF wage proposal would see an increase of 9.75 per cent over four years, plus cost-

of-living adjustments in each year depending on inflation. BCTF president Jim Iker has estimated that with inflation, the total increase would add up to 12.75 per cent. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing the province’s 60 school districts, has proposed 7.5 per cent over six years, with a $1,200 signing bonus if an agreement is reached by the end of the school year.

Engineering tool links health risks, poor house air quality A UBC Okanagan graduate engineering student has developed an indoor environmental assessment tool that has the potential to reduce respiratory illness from household mold and dampness. PhD candidate Craig Hostland developed the tool utilizing building science and measurable site criteria, by modelling a home’s indoor environment based on its construction type, maintenance characteristics, and history of moisture events. The model then determines with a 95-per-cent probability at what level the home may be a source

of respiratory distress. An added feature is that based on the occupants’ health condition, the model can confirm which house repairs could improve the conditions leading to illness, savings thousands in unneeded repairs “I found in my research that patients that may be stricken by the most severe effects of asthma can not only partially or fully recover their health through simple remediation of their residence, the public healthcare system can potentially save tens to hundreds of millions of dollars annually,” said Hostland, a senior professional engin-

eer dedicated to designing a solution to the health consequences of indoor molds. “I estimate there are almost 500 such patients in the interior health region and more than 3,000 in British Columbia alone that can be helped,” Hostland says. Hostland’s paper, HEALTH2: A Holistic Environmental Assessment Tool, is being delivered in Halifax this week at the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering Annual Conference, environmental division. His co-investigators are UBC School of Engineering Professors Rehan Sadiq, Deborah Roberts and Associate Professor Gordon Lovegrove. Hostland’s research is based on residential environmental site inspections conducted in the Okanagan between 2007 and 2013, historical data and published scientific studies.

As part of the abandonment process a 30-day window began June 3 for the federal government to purchase the line. “It’s unfortunate for the businesses that were utilizing the railway, that operating the railway is not viable,” said Duane Thomson, a resident of Lake Country. “As part of the abandonment process CN is now onto the next stage.” The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative (ORT), a group formed to push for the development of a trail that would use the old line, says it’s now up to government to purchase the line or CN will eventually be able to sell the land piece by piece. Each level of government will have a 30 day window to purchase the line. “We either keep this land for public use, or it goes private,” said Julie Melanson, director of the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative.

IT’S CRUNCH TIME. WE NOW HAVE 90 DAYS. BY THE FALL THIS PROCESS WILL BE DECIDED. Julie Melanson Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative

“It’s crunch time. We now have 90 days. By the fall this process will be decided.” The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative released an impact analysis last week that shows that by year five a trail would attract 600,000 users and generate $6.7 million in annual spending by tourists. The assessment covers the economic, environmental, and health benefits of keeping the line for public use. “It’s a benefit that pays back forever. It’s the Napa Valley of B.C.,” explained Thomson. The old CN Rail line meanders along the spectacular shores of Kalamalka Lake, Wood Lake

and Duck Lake, passes through Lake Country, past UBC Okanagan and the Kelowna International Airport before ending in the cultural district of downtown Kelowna. For Brad Clements, ORT director, the motivation for pursuing the trail is personal. For the last 14 years, Clements and his wife have travelled all over North America with her family, touring rail trails. “We’ve travelled to Quebec, P.E.I, the Galloping Goose in Victoria and the Kettle Valley trail,” he said. “We’d love to have a trail in our own backyard. “We really couldn’t ask for a better corridor for a community pathway— it would be a beautiful, safe way for commuters, tourists and residents to enjoy some of the valley’s most spectacular scenery.” To provide your support the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative is asking the public to send an e-mail to government through its website at www.okanaganrailtrail. ca. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Pressing for action against zebra mussels After two years of calls to the province and federal government to help prevent invasive zebra and quagga mussels from being brought into Okanagan and B.C., the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program are ramping up its campaign efforts. As of this week the local government agency responsible for providing leadership on water issues that span the valley, has launched a “Speak out!” initiative, inviting Okanagan residents to go to www.DontMoveAMussel.ca and write to their MLA and their MP and urge action. “We need the provincial and federal governments to step up to the plate. Zebra and quagga mussels are a triple threat to our well-being,” explained OBWB chair and mayor of West Kelowna, Doug Findlater. “They pose a significant environmental threat, a threat to our infrastructure which we’ll all pay for with increased taxes, and an economic threat—to tourism and more.” Research conducted for the OBWB notes that

There is no proven method to eradicate the mussels once they arrive that doesn’t also cause significant environmental impacts.

Dry” their equipment. At the same time, the OBWB has been calling on the federal government to pass pending legislation allowing Canada Border Services agents to stop and inspect boats coming into Canada, and urging the province to bring in inspection stations—similar to U.S. programs that have self-funded boater-pay sticker programs. The province has estimated an effective inspection program would

be about $2.4 million per year (15 stations at a cost of $60,000 to $160,000 each per year). “We’ve done our research, boat inspections stations and the right legislation in place are key,” Findlater noted. “It’s impractical to be at each boat launch with so many private launch sites. “But, there are only so many roads into the province and these can be monitored much more

easily. “This effort to encourage residents to join us in our call for action comes from valley citizens themselves who have been asking ‘What can we do?,’” added Findlater. “We want residents to go to www.DontMoveAMussel.ca, to learn more, and send letters to their MLA and MP. “This is urgent. We can win if we can get senior government to act now.”

Water board advocates for a B.C. water commission A new B.C. water commission to streamline water use reporting and connect water licence rental fees with water management needs is being proposed by the Okanagan Basin Water Board. Such a commission would be self-funded and would also be able to provide grants for water projects with only slight increase in current water license fees, according to an independent business case prepared by accounting firm Grant Thornton. According to provincial figures, these fees are currently so low they would add less than a dollar a year to residential water bills. Looking at the finer details, a staff of 10 could provide these core services. Not only would licence fees cover the cost of the commission’s operation without loss of general revenue to the province, but there would be enough left over for a sustainable water management grant program of about $5 million a year.

Grads: Start making good decisions

et’s not kid ourselves— teenagers don’t always follow the rules. And when it comes to adhering to the legal drinking age, most of them aren’t patiently waiting for their 19th birthday before having their first sip of alcohol. Graduation season is a time that should be joyous and celebratory, but every year Grade 12 students die in this country because partying got out of hand in one way or another. These are preventable traged-

ies that nobody in our community wants to see happen. Graduation marks a time of big change. The last 13 years of K-12 education is behind you, and you’re transitioning into the next phase of your life: adulthood. Your teachers, school counsellors and parents have repeatedly told you that the choices you make now (Should I work or go to school after I graduate? What do I want to get a degree in?) will have an impact on the rest of your life.

The same logic applies to grad night. If you choose to celebrate this rite of passage with alcohol, be responsible. Be careful and go out with a plan. What are you going to do and how are you going to be safe? That includes ensuring you are celebrating in a safe manner, in a safe location with people you know and trust. Most importantly, that’s ensuring you have a safe ride home —whether it’s a designated driv-

er or waking up your parents at 3 a.m. asking to get picked up. An important part of adulthood is making good decisions. Start now: Be smart and be responsible before you head out for your after-grad festivities. It’s all about getting home safe from a night of well-earned fun. If you don’t get home safe, it defeats the whole purpose of celebrating.

Post-secondary options available for British Columbians

cross the province as we approach the summer months, many young British Columbians and their families are planning their transition to new careers and learning opportunities. It’s important that our students have the right skills and options in order to make choices that are right for them and their families. On May 21, Minister of Advanced Education Amrik Virk joined faculty, staff and students at Okanagan College to officially break ground for the

new $33-million trades training complex at the Kelowna campus. The expansion means 5,500 square metres of new space and up-to-date faciliSteve ties for trade shops inautomotive reThomson cluding pair, carpentry and welding. Trades-related training at the Kelowna campus has more than doubled over the last 10 years and is expected to increase with our growing economy. Once completed, the new trades complex will accommodate up to 2,408 students and apprentices. It’s important for British Colum-

MLA’S REPORT

bians to find their fit in jobs and training opportunities. By 2022, the province is expecting one million jobs due to retirement and our growing liquefied natural gas sector. British Columbians looking to transition careers need the supports and opportunity in order to make the right choices to participate in our growing economy. Our government recently launched B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint: Reengineering Education and Training that means greater prosperity and opportunity for British Columbians. The Skills for Jobs Blueprint will create many opportunities for skills and trades training, including more support for scholarships and early

hands-on learning and help students get a head start for the jobs of the future. We all know that the better prepared our students are, the more successful they will be in finding meaningful jobs and careers. Together, we are providing students with a seamless pathway from school to the workplace. In support of those studying at post-secondary institutions, government has invested more than $3.2 billion in student financial assistance since 2001, making post-secondary education more accessible for all British Columbians. Since 2001, more than $2.4 billion has been invested in capital and

infrastructure projects at B.C.’s public post-secondary institutions. In total, B.C. students pay less than onethird of the cost of their post-secondary education. For those who take out student loans, government pays 100 per cent of the interest on loans while students are enrolled in full-time studies. B.C. students loans are forgiven over a three-year period when eligible professionals—such as nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), nurse practitioners, midwives, pharmacists and doctors—agree to work in an underserved or designated community in B.C.

Councillors choose to honour fraud To the editor: Re: Monster House Builder Forges Homeowner’s Signature, May 15 Capital News. And: Home Height Variance Approved: Mayor Findlater Votes Against, May 29 Capital News. I commend you [West Kelowna] Mayor Doug Findlater, for evaluating and soul-searching your way through this issue and voting against approval of a variance on this house. By upholding the integrity of the rules in place, and the process by which our society operates, you have tried to send a signal to the community. It is important that we all can rely on this process. It would be impossible for any governing group to operate at anything but a snails pace if every decision had to be investigated for signs of fraud and deceit, and couldn’t operate on the basis of trust and honesty. The process was duped by dishonesty in this case. This whole fiasco is clearly a case of ‘two wrongs don’t make a right,’ but no one but you, Mayor Findlater, seems to understand that principle. Our sympathy for the homeowners shouldn’t blind us to the facts and undermine the rules in the process. The building codes and restrictions are put in place to ensure that we all know where we stand going into each development, whether

as developer, builder or client. When designs for a building exceed those parameters, and the flags go up, all involved should understand that it is likely to push the time frame for approval and hence its completion, or that variances might not be granted in the end. It was amazing to read that Mr. Zeleznick (the contracted builder) maintained that he is a man of integrity and honesty while claiming that his actions could be understood (by inference even excused?) because he found himself under pressure and ‘in the middle.’ He would ask us to believe that it’s understandable then that one could be ‘pushed’ into committing fraud. How ridiculous! It would seem, however, that the rest of you West Kelowna councillors have a problem making decisions that you think might put you in the middle, appear rigid, or make you less popular with the voting public. In keeping with that same theory of ‘pressure,’ the rest of you in council felt you had to follow suit and approve the variance. Mr. Magnan (West Kelowna district planning manager) maintains that the zoning bylaw doesn’t account for the topography. The rest of the homes in this area have had to come to terms with that without losing re-

gard for the rules, or their neighbours. I’m not sure what you see in this neighbourhood, Coun. Milsom, if you’ve in fact driven up here, but there are a lot of walkout ranchers and typical two-storey homes along Lakeview Cove Road.

‘‘

COUNCILLORS… THE LONGER YOU PLAY THIS GAME OF DELUSION AND JUSTIFICATION, THE FARTHER YOU GET FROM THE FACTS AND THE TRUTH.

Coun. de Jong, the fact that the letter of support was fraudulent should have the opposite effect that it did with you; Mr. Kohut (the neighbour whose signature was forged) hasn’t approved of the variance request, and that, in itself, should be the end of it. Instead of standing up for Mr. Kohut and the zoning bylaws, there will be four houses now being built outside of the bylaws and not in keeping with the others in this area. I’ve experienced this exact same process, and I think it comes down to honesty with ourselves from beginning to end. A developer’s lot seems to have potential, and

you try to make it dovetail with your wants and vision of what could be. The developer wants to sell lots; the builder wants your business. They know the rules and restrictions, but try to keep your vision alive, regardless of the differences that vision has with the reality of the space and rules. You are told these discrepancies can be managed, and variances can be obtained. No one wants to abandon the vision in order to keep the buy-in alive. The longer this takes, the stronger the attachment to the idea at all costs. Some pretty disastrous decisions can result, all because no one wants to deal with the reality and the rules that are supposed to be applied to everyone. Sometimes you just have to walk away and keep looking. The fact that the Sklars have been duped by the developer/ builder is irrelevant to the approval process. The developer/builder should be accountable for the fraud and damages to this couple. The delays in dealing with this mess are not germane to the issue of the zoning bylaws and the process of obtaining a variance. Everyone involved from beginning to end is dealing with making decisions based on pressure and manipulation. Pressure was put on Mr. Zeleznik to obtain a let-

ter of support, and what he did was to commit fraud. He had put pressure on the neighbour, Mr. Kohut (who had built within the rules by the way) to agree to something he didn’t want. Mr. Kohut was correct to say that the house next door (and the three still to be built, as it turns out) should be built “to the correct height that blends in the area.” The homes on Lakeview Cove Road have space around them and don’t loom over their neighbours. This new construction clearly overwhelms Mr. Kohut’s home. It would follow that the houses yet to be built will be allowed to follow suit. That is not in keeping with the area. It is an example of greed and dishonestly on the part of the developer and the builder. They’ve sullied this situation and only you, Mayor Findlater, seem able to understand and deal with that. You’ve earned your position of trust. Councillors, you have chosen to go on the same journey as the Sklars. The longer you play this game of delusion and justification, the farther you get from the facts and the truth. It is also clearer every day that, for some people, community spirit is what is left after they have gotten all that they want. Marilyn Whitburn, Kelowna

▼ TEACHERS’ UNION

Strike vote preface to discussion To the editor: Just as a clarification on Richard Knight’s concerns re. a strike vote by teachers, (Teachers’ Contract Changes, May 22 Capital News) it must be pointed out strike votes are not a vote on a specific offer. Labour laws require, and a strike vote may be held, so negotiators may

use this option or tactic during discussions. Legal strikes can then be called if specific time frames and actions are carried out. The union members who have given their consent to the potential of a strike are entrusting their representatives to bargain in their interests, and a strike vote is merely a tactic—not a response to a

specific offer. Nothing more. We need to relax and understand the word ‘strike’ is part of the dialogue—as is opposition side words like ‘lockout’, ‘wage rollback’ and ‘benefits cut.’ N.G. Falkeid, West Kelowna

Save natural state of hillside lots

s more homes are being built on hillside properties, I think the builders should consider it a priority to preserve as much of the site in its natural state as possible. Believe it or not, the easiest low maintenance portion of the lot will be the part left in its natural state. I was thinking of this the other day as I was walking about a property that was ready for landscaping to begin. During the building stage, either for easy access or just convenience, a great portion of the property was used for machinery, delivery trucks and just general traffic. On these areas, a plethora of invasive weeds such as dandelions, plantain, mullen, knapp weed and crab grass were getting well established. With the untouched areas, not a weed was in sight.

patio misting systems For less than $30 you can set up a misting system for your umbrella or sun shade. These smaller portable systems can be set up in minutes and have you sitting back in your easy chair cooled off and refreshed. We have a variety of small kits that can be temporarily or permanently installed. They are ideal for cooling small patios, gazebos, RV’s garden areas and even pets. Most of the kits come preassembled and only require minimal work to put together….just add water! The pet cooling kit is ideal for your four legged friends and are great in the hot sun for some added fun with your pet. How do misting systems work? Misting is one of the most effective and efficient methods available for cooling open outdoor areas. Mist cooling works by forcing water through specially designed misting nozzles to create a fog of ultra fine water droplets. The water droplets quickly evaporate which then in turn cool the surrounding air. When properly designed, a mist cooling system will work with prevailing winds and air movement. A misting system can be combined with misting fans to move mist or cooled air into the cooled zones. In most cases a misting system can reduce the temperature by at least 15 degrees celsius. Make sure you stop by the store and talk to anyone of the staff about your next misting system purchase…

minority. It was pretty much impossible to include them in the landscape theme so the final blow to thousands of years of building up a beautiful natural garden with checks and balances in place to keep out the weeds was to plough them up and install a “state of the art” landscape which forever needs a constant maintenance program. Just as landscaping should be an important part of the budget planning for a new home and not just an afterthought (“Oh, you mean there is a cost to professional landscaping?”), a knowledgeable horticulturist should be brought in before the first stake is driven into the ground to determine if and what portions of the property should be protected. These areas need to be fenced off to prevent any vehicle traffic or even heavy foot and wheel barrow entry. At the end of the day, there should not be a need to irrigate these areas because even that will disrupt the natural processes of the drought loving species that live there. Now think about what I have just written and set your mind to the big picture of our surround-

ing hillsides and ecosystems that took thousands of years to establish but are in jeopardy of being lost forever due to development or recreational traffic. Fortunately, there are organizations dedicated to making sure that doesn’t happen and they need our support. The premier group in our province is the Nature Trust of British Columbia (www.naturetrust.bc.ca), which has been procuring land to its trust since the early 1970s. With the help of businesses, institutions and just concerned citizens like you and I, the Nature Trust is continuing to protect vulnerable tracts of land from destruction while for the most part retaining the ability for us and future generations to access and enjoy them in a responsible way.

Help prevent the spread of nuisance mosquitos Warmer temperatures may result in an increase in hatching mosquitoes in the Central Okanagan. While crews have been out since early April monitoring and treating almost 200 known breeding locations for mosquito larvae, residents can also play a part in reducing the likelihood of hatches around their properties. The regional district operates the Mosquito Control program in the Central Okanagan East and West Electoral Areas, City of Kelowna, District of Lake Country and the West Kelowna Estates area in the District of West Kelowna. “Property owners can help us fight the bite by minimizing potential

breeding locations,” said RDCO communication officer Bruce Smith. “Remove standing water sources and any unused items that collect water such as old tires. “Cover rain barrels with a screen to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs in the water. “Drain standing water from saucers under plant pots or garbage cans. “Mosquito larvae can also develop in birdbaths, wading pools or pet bowls, so water should be changed at least two times a week. “Remove water that gathers in unused swimming pools and on swimming pool covers and aerate water in ponds or add fish that will eat mosquito

larvae.” Residents in the participating areas of the program (Kelowna, Lake Country, Central Okanagan East and West Electoral Areas and a small section of West Kelowna Estates) can report mosquito concerns by calling 1-866-679-8473.” BWP Consulting Inc. is contracted to conduct all larval mosquito control within these participating areas of the regional district. BWP’s Cheryl Phippen said: “Crews started work earlier than usual this spring treating early snowmelt larval development sites and so far adult mosquito concentrations appear to be at tolerable levels throughout the service area. “People should protect themselves by wearing mosquito repellant containing DEET and light coloured clothing with long sleeves and long pants, especially at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are at their worst.” The regional district mosquito control program attempts to minimize the impact of mosquitoes including the specific species that are capable of transmitting West Nile Virus as well as those that are known to be significant human nuisance. This monitoring and treatment is being done in known surface water habitats as well as more than 10,000 roadside catch basins in the participating areas. There are excellent resources available to help you and your family during the mosquito season. For more information, visit the website www. regionaldistrict.com/mosquitoes.

Helping vets with stress disorder

ulian Fantino, the federal minister of veterans affairs, announced on May 27 a plan to support a pilot project to assess the benefits and risks of using psychiatric service dogs to assist in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. This will come as good news to those constituents who wrote to me last year urging the government to do so. The two-and-a-halfyear pilot project has a goal of having up to 50 veterans participate in the project. VAC will provide up to $500,000 to cover expenses and new research for the pilot project. As Louise Bradley, president and CEO of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, noted: “The use of psychiatric service dogs to assist veterans with PTSD is an innovative, emerging recovery-oriented practice. We look forward to hearing more about the pilot project and the ensuing research.” Likewise, as Captain (retired) Medric Cousineau, founder of Paws Fur Thought, said: “This pilot project is a concrete and positive step forward. As someone who has gained tremendously from my service dog, I’m proud to be involved in this effort to help veterans with PTSD.” VAC has a well-established national network of more than 4,800 mental health professionals, including psychologists, social workers and mental health nurses, who deliver mental health services to

The PBO report says Canadians are paying Ottawa about $30 billion less this year: personal income taxes have been cut by about $17.1 billion through a variety of changes introduced since 2005; and the two-percentage point cut in the GST has resulted in a $13.3 billion in savings this year.

The Jaycees, a business group with about 80 per cent of its 55 members under the age of 30, did work around the property grounds that included adding some new shrubs, repainting and resurfacing the existing picnic tables, upgrading the sidewalk and wheelchair ramp, and laying down some new grass sod.

On Saturday, June 14, you may find yourself in the middle of dozens of elaborately decorated shopping carts, whizzing through Kelowna’s downtown core. The source of that activity will be the Arthur Cottie Memorial PUSH TO END HOMELESSNESS, a fundraiser for the Kelowna Inn from the Cold group. This Amazing Racestyle event will have participants racing from the Inn from the Cold emergency shelter across town, competing in various tasks and challenges along the way; ending in a BBQ, with live music and prizes in Kerry Park. The objective is not only to raise much needed funds for Inn from the Cold, but to also raise awareness surrounding the issues of homelessness in Kelowna. Last year, the event saw 20 teams compete from various walks of life. Included were church groups, university students, medical professionals and even elementary school teams. Dayton, an elementary student participated last year. “My favourite part of the PUSH was getting to meet all the different teams and seeing their decorated carts,” recalled Dayton. “Oh, and winning passes to Atlantis Waterslides!” Dayton’s school team decorated their cart in their school colours with balloons, ribbons, and little stuffed mascots. Although they didn’t win for Best Decorated Cart, Dayton’s team took home the prize for raising the most money for the charity. Dayton’s tips for winning this year’s PUSH TO END HOMELESSNESS: “Focus on the clues, so you know where you are going. And ask your friends and neighbours to sponsor your team—if you are a kid, you could make an announcement at your school to raise money.” To register your team for this fun event, go online to www.innfromthecoldkelowna.org or call the Inn from the Cold office at 250-448-6403 for more information.

ROWS of dolls planted along the beach in Lake Coun-

try have been the talk of the town, or rather, the entire valley. But they’re not the first community-based artistic effort to spontaneously take shape in this creative nook.

Spontaneous art in Lake Country Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It looked like a statement on women in the postmodern world, the work of a crazed Barbie fiend (with a fetish for Chanelesque suits) or a madcap installation artist’s very effective way of shaking a little life into Lake County. No matter who created the art piece in Reiswig Park, whether they intended it to be art or not, it’s had creatives around the Okanagan talking all week. Asked if he masterminded the rows of Barbie knock-offs planted, foot-in-cement style along the beach, UBCO professor and man-about-town Michael V. Smith could only quip “I wish.” The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art’s summer intern, Asher Klassen, was equally dazzled. “I wish I could tell you who was behind it. I think it was brilliant,” he said. Similar coos came from Katie Brennan, who has worked with the Lake Country Art Gallery for years and regularly shows in the town’s public space. “There was a post on Facebook from a mutual friend of (artist) Wanda

Lock and I, Neena Sood, whose husband first discovered the dolls on the beach and so we all ‘liked’ it. Then Wanda emailed me and said, ‘OK, did you do it?’ And I said ‘no.’” The jet stream of social media comments, missives and suggestions—lewd, crude, supportive and otherwise— streaked across the valley like an over-hyped college student in frosh week. It had elements of the community’s new art wall, in Brennan’s view. “It’s been this really engaging project. A lot of people still look at it like they don’t totally get it, but it’s really fun, especially for those of us who are in the know. When someone has added to it we all want to know who

did it—and then we’re thinking, OK, what am I going to do next?” Lock, Rose Braun and Angelika Jager have all featured prominently on the wall, as has Brennan, whose signature line art has already been painted over. The wall sits in front of the community’s art gallery and was put up by the Lake Country public art committee, initiated by Lock, who wanted to capitalize on an anonymous graffiti artist working in the area. “We had someone at Petro-Canada who was doing some really wonderful work on the wall beside the gas station and it was echoing back and forth,” she said. Lock fully admits she

loves graffiti, even if that is a bad word in the Okanagan. The dolls, in a similar vien, offer an ingenious spark communities need to loosen up public discussion, in her view, and she’s hoping the effort inspires many more acts of creativity. “It takes the preciousness out of art,” she said. “I think it’s amazing because it’s not the stereotypical artist, per se.” The valley isn’t really ready to have people randomly adding to its murals or having a visual dialogue where people freely add to its commissioned art pieces, she said. The dolls are exactly the form of upstart spontaneous thought that could spur a season of engaging public art without the view it’s causing damage. “My wish for the rest of the summer is that people will come and add things to our wall or do little installations and give others the seed to think outside the box or outside the gallery wall,” she said. The Lake Country Art Wall is ready for anyone and everyone to contribute. As for the dolls, it has been reported the effort was a gag done by a cluster of UBCO students. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

ven though Edge of Tomorrow is getting fantastic reviews, this new sci-fi outing with Tom Cruise is expected to do middling business. Described as Groundhog Day mixed with Starship Troopers, Cruise plays a military officer in a future in which an alien race has hit Earth with an unrelenting assault. He has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into a suicide mission and is killed almost immediately. However, he is inexplicably thrown into a time loop forcing him to relive the same brutal death over and over again. But each time, he becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill and starts learning how to defeat the aliens. Also starring Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton, it is directed by Doug Liman, who was behind the camera for movies like The Bourne Identity and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The Fault in our Stars is based upon the successful young adult novel of the same name

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis about a bittersweet relationship between two extraordinary teenagers who meet and fall in love at a cancer support group. The movie will definitely get a strong response from the young adult crowd, especially since it stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, who previously starred together in Divergent (which is still playing at Landmark Cinemas Encore in West Kelowna). Actor-director Jon Favreau was once an indie movie favourite with the likes of Swingers and Made, but made his career with hits like Elf and the first two Iron Man movies. He steps back into independent film by writing, directing and starring in Chef, a comedy in which he plays a chef who quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after a dis-

agreement with the controlling owner (Dustin Hoffman). Moving to Miami, he teams up with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara) and friend (John Leguizamo) to open up a food truck. Also starring Scarlett Johansson, Russell Peters, Oliver Platt and Robert Downey Jr., critics are hailing Chef’s charming cast and witty script. Fans of costume dramas will want to check out Belle, inspired by the 1779 painting of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate mixed race daughter of a British admiral who is brought to England to live with her great uncle, Lord Mansfield, who eventually became influential in helping end slavery in England. Although not much is known about the life of Belle, this fictional story of her life is set during a pivotal time in British history. Rick Davis is the general manager of Landmark Cinemas 8 in West Kelowna. LCC163-GM@landmark cinemas.com

wonderfully written, witty and remarkably played, all that this film is not. So why did it bring in over $70 million in box office revenues this past weekend? Who knows, but the Disney folks are happy and it will be interesting to know how this film plays outside North America. Or who cares? The one thing that was awesome were Angelina’s cheekbones—not sure how they got to be so angular, but make up trickery was at its best. Angelina and Brad’s daughter Vivienne Jolie Pitt plays the young Aurora at age 5. The older Aurora is played by Elle Fanning. While I can’t find much to redeem it, if you are going to see it, make

I really wanted to like this film. No, I’m not a fan of Angelina Jolie—I find her acting to be wooden and lacking in depth, with the exception of her role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt (and we all know why she came alive in that one!) I do, however, admire her humanitarian efforts and I wanted to see the back story to Sleeping Beauty. While there are a couple of charming moments, this is not a show with any depth. There is way too much animation to be anything but a show for 10-14 year olds, and perhaps that was the audience it was created for. Angelina, of course, plays Maleficent, a lovely young girl who, through the evil act of someone she trusted, became the wicked witch we all know from Sleeping Beauty. Why does this sound like the stage play “Wicked”? Because it’s very much the same plot. The difference is that Wicked is

WCL success accompanies new coach Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

As a player and coach with the Corvallis Knights, Billy Clontz won three West Coast League championships. The Kelowna Falcons are undoubtedly hoping the 28-year-old Corvallis, OR native can bring a little of that magic north of the border for the 2014 baseball season. From his many visits to Elks Stadium as an opponent over the years, Clontz developed a healthy respect for both the Falcons and team GM Mark Nonis. So when the chance arose to spend the summer in the Okanagan coaching baseball, Clontz didn’t hesitate to say yes. “We’ve had a relationship with Kelowna for a long time, with our (Corvallis) president and owner, and with the Nonis family here,” said Clontz, who has also coached in Klamath Falls in the WCL, and in Australia. “The opportunity was

granted and I couldn’t turn it down. “I always respected Mark and the way they run their ball club. They’ve been very supportive and the players we’ve gone after, and the route they’ve taken to build a ball club…I’m just very thankful for the opportunity.” From Mark Nonis’ perspective, landing a coach of Clontz’s experience, background and familiarity with the WCL is an ideal fit for the Falcons’ organization. “We have Bill coming in from one of the best programs in the league, (Corvallis coach) Brooke Knight knows what he’s doing, he’s groomed Billy into how he does things,” Nonis said. “Billy’s staff also comes from great programs, all these coaches have been around and know what they’re doing.

With a deep pitching staff and a lineup featuring both power and speed, Clontz also wants to see a gritty, hard-nosed mentality emerge from the Fal-

cons. And in addition to playing good, fundamental baseball, Clontz said it’s imperative for his players to develop team

unity. “The summers get long and we’re around each every day,” said Clontz, who will be assisted by Dylan Jones, Rich-

ie Jiminez and Casey Harmes. “We played over 50 games in 60 some days, so the bottom line is we’ve gotta like each other, we all have to have the same goal, and just go aggressively into this thing together. When you mix some of those traits together, you put a good product on the field.” The 2014 Falcons will feature some local content with Kelowna’s Dawson Yates (Texas A and M) returning for his second summer, while infielder Josh Croft (San Jacinto, Texas)—a former teammate of Yates with the Okanagan A’s—is here for his first season with the Falcons.

In keeping with tradition, the home opener, sponsored by Telus, will be free of charge. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Back-to-back provincial championship gold for Mustangs

It looks like there might be a high school soccer dynasty in the making at Immaculata Regional High School. The 2014 edition of the Mustangs captured their second straight B.C. A girls’ soccer title last weekend in Vancouver, defeating Glenlyon-Norfolk in the final. Immaculata now has five provincial titles to its credit since the program was launched nine seasons ago. After rolling through the round robin with wins over Ft. St. James, North Island, and Nakusp, the Mustangs blanked West Point Grey Academy 3-0 in the semifinal. Ashlyn Day and Emma Johnson tallied within the first 10 minutes of the game, with Jaedyn Penkala connecting on a late goal to round out the

scoring. In the final, the Mustangs were pitted against their longtime rivals, Glenlyon-Norfolk. Each team had won the B.C. title four previous times. The game started with a flurry from the Mustangs, having wave after wave of attack stifled by the Gryphons. First, a Stephanie McCann deflection was cleared off the goal line. Next, a Lindsay Lalach header just missed high. Finally, the Gryphons were able to clear a goal mouth scramble. The Gryphons, meanwhile, looked very dangerous on the counter-attack, testing the Mustangs defense at every opportunity. Hannah Johnson, Stephanie McCann, Hayley Slade and Ashley Prehofer stood tall on the

Mustangs settled into the game and controlled the play. Jaedyn Penkala and Erin Graham provided the

engine for the Mustangs, but they couldn’t solve the back line of the Gryphons. Finally, with less than

10 minutes to go, a low shot from Emma Johnson found the bottom corner of the net to give the Mustangs the lead. The back line would hold off wave after wave of attack to preserve the lead, as the Mustangs posted a 1-0 for their second straight provincial championship. “The girls were awesome at provincials,” said Mustangs coach Paul Freire. “All 18 players pulled together every step of the way. They showed tremendous team spirit, and supported each other through difficult situations. I honestly cannot pick out one player that stood out because each one of them played their hearts out and raised their game to the occasion. They were fantastic.” Immaculata’s Emma

Johnson was named as the tournament’s Golden Boot winner scoring nine goals, while Erin Graham was awarded the tournament MVP award.

OWLS FINISH 6TH…

Despite suffering just one loss, the KSS Owls settled for sixth place at the B.C. AAA girls soccer championship in Vancouver. In the 5th/6th place game Saturday, the Owls fell 2-1 to McMath. The Owls went 1-0-2 in the round robin, tying South Delta 1-1 and Kitsilano 1-1, and defeating Lake City 5-0. KSS then beat Coquitlam 4-3 in the opening game of the playoffs to advance to the 5th-6th finals. The Owls’ Cassidy was named to the Commissioner’s XVI team.

Heat 4th at Spring Sizzle tourney The host Kelowna Heat opened the tournament strong, before falling a step short of the medals at the Spring Sizzle U14 girls fastball tournament at High Noon Park. In the third-place final Sunday, Kelowna dropped a 6-3 decision to the South Delta Invaders to finish up in fourth spot. The Heat started off

the weekend well with three wins and a tie in round robin. Gracie Barbour picked up the first win in a 12-0 decision over the Cloverdale Fury helping her own cause by scoring two runs. Niah La Roy and Emily Elsom were both perfect at the plate. Heat were the Richmond Islanders who came all the way back

from a 6-0 deficit and scored three in the bottom of the sixth to snatch a 7-7 tie. Racquel Bennett and Taylor Callow led the way offensively each going 2-for-2. The Heat then defeated the Ridge Meadows Rage 12-1. Emma Caron and Niah La Roy shared pitching duties combining for a one-hit-

ter, with Haley Martin and Carleigh Maniago each driving in two tuns. The last round robin game saw Kelowna make short work of the Coquitlam Classics 11-3. Brooke Lambert picked up the win, with Dallas MacMillan leading the way offensively going 3-for-3. The first playoff game of the day saw the Heat go down quickly 5-0 to the Langley Extreme before recovering for a lopsided 14-6 win. Pick-up player from Castlegar, Alex Sherstobitoff, scored two runs with Julia Paulson scoring once. In the semifinal, against the undefeated Nanaimo Diamonds, one inning was the Heat’s undoing as they gave up all five runs in a 5-3 loss. The bronze medal game saw the girls come out flat, losing to a strong South Delta Invaders team. Racquel Bennett caught a strong game as she did all weekend and in drove in two runs in a losing cause. Next up for the girls is a road trip to Coeur D’Alene, Idaho for The Crush Invitational before returning home to prepare for the provincials in North Delta. In the gold medal game, Nanaimo defeating Coquitlam Classics 8-6.

Kelowna Hawks take Spring Classic vs some tough teams

For the first time since the tournament’s inception four years ago, a Kelowna team has come out on top of the Spring Classic bantam A baseball tournament. The Kelowna Hawks overcame some stiff competition last weekend, including a pair of powerhouse teams from North Delta and Langley to capture the tournament championship. “I couldn’t be prouder of the calibre of baseball that came to the tournament,” said tournament director Mike Chamberlain. “It was both an excitR ing semi-final and final with the Hawks coming from behind in both cases to beat the out of town teams,” Chamberlain said. “It was very exciting and

Swerving to save an animal can have negligence fallout T here is not much more darling a sight than that of a mother duck followed by its brood of cute and fuzzy ducklings, waddling clumsily along. This is, of course, in sharp contrast to an adult goose with a fully functional food processing system that chooses to hang out at a place where my children like to run around bare foot.

their uncluttered little duck lives. But no, our sprawling communities have taken up more and more duck habitat. During springtime, those cute little creatures can find themselves in very serious danger, particularly when their waddling path takes them across a street or a highway. It is a time of year when we pay extra close attention to the road, to avoid the tragedy of running them over. Imagine the horror! My wife covers her eyes and cringes when a

gopher or squirrel darts out in front of our car and it just about makes her sick if we feel and hear that tell-tale “thump thump.” She looks at me like I’m the devil when I don’t slam on the brakes or swerve. Imagine her reaction if any of those cute, fuzzy little ducklings ended up under one of our tires. They’re not the most spatially aware creatures. They won’t immediately disperse if you get close with your vehicle. You have to sit there and wait for them to finish their casual waddling across the road before continuing on. At least with your vehicle sitting there a less

concerned motorist won’t come along and mow them down. These would have been Emma’s thoughts on a nice, relaxed Sunday in the Summer, 2010. Emma, a young driver, stopped her vehicle on Highway 30, south of Montreal, to tend to a family of ducks. Emma is in trial this week, hoping that a jury will not convict her of two counts of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing the deaths of a father, Roy, and his 16 year old daughter, Jessie. Jessie was on the back of Roy’s motorcycle. They were following a car in the fast lane, when the car they were follow-

ing swerved at the last minute to avoid smashing into the back of Emma’s stopped car. Roy and Jessie didn’t have a chance. I found two British Columbia court judgments that are on point. Chief Justice Wilson in a case decided in 1969 had this to say: “The desire to save an animal’s life is natural and admirable but, of course, it cannot excuse all acts done in pursuance of it. If the choice is between an animal and human safety then, I should think, there is no real choice and the animal must suffer.” In a later decision of our Court of Appeal, the highest court in this province, a three justice panel

approved the following statement of Justice Hinds: “That he did not want to hurt the dog was both decent and understandable but, as a matter of law, he did not owe a duty to the dog—he owed a duty to his passengers. “In the circumstances, his instinctive reaction of veering off the roadway to avoid striking the dog was negligent.” Not only “negligent,” but in Emma’s case the jury might find that putting the safety of an animal above the safety of other human beings sharing the roadway is “criminally negligent.” Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Columnist says farewell to loyal readers

fter 13 years of contributing bi-weekly financial and consumer columns to the Capital News, the time has come for me to say adieu. I have truly enjoyed my time spent on research on investment trends and timely topics, presenting to readers my common sense theme, and the positive response from my clients and the readers of the Capital News. Writing a column involves hours spent researching and preparing each column along with the mandated regulatory approval from my head office before it is sent to print. I have been fortunate to have met so many wonderful people during this time. Being an advocate for both the financial industry and the consumer has allowed me to focus on both sides of the industry. I have learned so much from my readers. Investing is a complex and confusing industry for many people. Many investors lose money by jumping in and out of the market. “Buy high and sell low” is common sense, however, during market ups and downs common sense is often not followed.

Before you sell or purchase investments, you should follow the advice or at least ask for a second opinion of a certified financial Doreen planner. It is confusing Smith for investors as they struggle to understand the multitude of options available to choose from. There are many types of investments with constant marketing from the investment industry and also commentary from journalists to confuse investors. What does the investment consumer do? Some investors become paralysed by fear and do nothing. Some investors buy on a market high and sell on a market low when pessimism is maximized. It helps to understand what type of investor you are. Are you an investor who listens to the news and is convinced the sky is falling when markets decline or are you a steady as you go investor not easily swayed by the media? I encourage all people to work with a certified financial planner with a CFP designation, which means your advisor has taken years of courses and has written multiple exams to gain the industry designa-

FISCAL FITNESS

tion. There are also annual mandatory educational requirements required to keep the CFP designation. There are many advisors without a financial designation who pass one exam and sell investment and insurance products. What type of advisor do you want to offer you investment advice? I encourage people to find an advisor who they can talk to and ask questions of. A CFP has the expertise to discuss your retirement, estate and tax planning questions in regards to your investments. A bank or credit union or independent financial advisor receives compensation on the assets held under management. Since all advisors are paid from client assets, you should maximize your relationship with a trusted CFP to benefit from the additional professional advice. If you are not receiving professional advice, it relates to being sold a product without any additional benefit. Thank you to all the people who have read my column. Many Capital News readers have cut out my newspaper columns and brought them to my office for discussion. I will remain in the investment industry and I will continue to enjoy my career choice and helping people. dsmith@capri.ca

ELSIE ANNE SHERMAN We are profoundly saddened to announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother, our Omma, Elsie Anne Sherman aka “El”. She was our rock, our pillar of strength and a true model of caring, compassion and kindness. Born Elsie Anne Witzke in 1933 and raised and educated in the Vega area of Alberta, El was old school where hard work, family and friends were the most important things in life and these values became her only real “hobbies”. Into her late teens she met this good looking dude named Charles aka Chuck. Sparks and kids followed and sometime around 1954-1955 the farm raised “hippie chick” and her two boys Shawn and Sheldon moved to Kelowna BC while Chuck remained working in Alberta on seismograph crews and would join them in the months to follow. In 1963 El and family moved to Winfield (Lake Country) to a 30 acre property complete with a beater old shack and with much hard work established a working vineyard and comfortable rustic home for the family where the current sun burned subdivision now exists. Sherman Drive, the main road of this subdivision, is El and Chuck’s lasting legacy to their homestead property. They then moved to Seaton Rd. where El and family established Mountain Valley Ranch, a successful working apple orchard, cold storage, juicing and fresh fruit independent business. Upon retirement in 2004, El and Chuck moved to the Sandstone gated community in Kelowna to try and enjoy their life time of hard work, but even then rest and relaxation never entered her vocabulary. Dad passed away in July of 2005 leaving “mom” with yet another challenge in her life to overcome, she was single for the first time in some 50 years. Again she soldiered on until now, with leukemia at age 80, she faced her next and final challenge which she could not beat and after a short but feisty fight she has reluctantly left us all on May 25, 2014. She is set free and she goes to a far greater rest than she has ever known. She will be forever missed by sons Shawn and Sheldon (Helen), grand children Lance, Brad (Angie) Chalyn, Ondrea (Stefan) and Cherise (Jeremy) and 6 great grand children Cailee, Brett, Alexa, Tayber, Torrin and Rylee. She also leaves behind 2 sisters Ida and Lee, very special nephew Barry (Connie) and niece Denise (Hardy), sister in law Dorothy and nephews Rob (Brenda), Kevin (Rita), Mike and Bobby and Jimmie. As well, Mom takes her leave of her besties Judy and Margaret and the countless people whose lives she has forever touched. We will all meet thousands of people in our lifetimes and a very few will forever remain at the forefront of our thoughts, she is one of them. Her caring, compassion, kindness and lifetime of giving to others in so many ways, highlights her journey through her life and sets her apart from all others. A celebration of Els’ life will be held on Saturday June 28, 2014 at First Memorial Funeral Services @ 1211 Sutherland Ave. in Kelowna from 1 – 3 pm. She would be very embarrassed to have all the attention but we are not giving her an option here so all those family, friends and acquaintances who would care to share your memories and stories of our Omma, please come join us as we honour her. In lieu of flowers please feel free to donate to the SPCA for her love of animals. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and search her name under stories.

Moments in Life

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for us. Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Love always, Bea & Family

He started his career at the city as intermediate accountant— revenue; then moved on to senior accountant— budget; then financial planning manager; and finally the top job as director of financial services. Grayston originally came to Kelowna from Armstrong and has 35 years of experience in the financial industry. When I asked him what he was going to do in retirement, he said he wanted to spend more time skiing, curling, cycling and golfing. I know that because I have already seen him a few times at the golf course practising up for his retirement. He would also like to look into some volunteer opportunities. This is great as I will be recruiting him for the Maxine DeHart—United Way, Ramada Hotel DriveThru Breakfast in October. I hope he still returns my phone calls after he reads this (ha!). Sounds like he is going to be one busy retiree. Melonie Dodaro, of Top Dog Social Media is #1! She recently launched her book, The LinkedIn Code, and it took the top spot on Amazon.com. The LinkedIn Code was officially released June 3 on Amazon and skyrocketed to the top of the Canadian, UK and American book selling charts. Anyone will benefit from the book that is in busi-

ness. The LinkedIn Code is the only no-fluff, direct, how to use LinkedIn for generating leads book that is available today. And, if you know Melonie, she is a no-fluff gal who is extremely proficient and knowledgeable about LinkedIn. She has helped me tremendously in the past, which is quite the feat for anyone.

WEST Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater says some of the benches installed on the recently improved Brown Road in Westbank Centre will be flipped around to face the street. designated parking; sidewalks and curb and gutter installations; the addition of landscaping, irrigation, street furniture and ornamental lampposts, as well as sewer, drainage and water main upgrades. “Brown Road looks great. It sets the gold standard for downtown revitalization.

“It’s a bit unfortunate this particular item of the benches has taken the focus off the rest of it.” As for the rest of Westbank Centre revitalization, Findlater said the only way the district can afford to improve its core is one road at a time. “There is so much to do in so many places and only so much money.

“Glenrosa, Shannon Lake Road, Boucherie Road, Elliott Road: They all need this kind of treatment. We can only get to them one or two projects at a time according to the funds we have.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Students frustrated by repeated job action

Kirsten Jones, the benches were placed that way to take the focus off vehicles. “The attractive benches are deliberately placed to face the widened pedestrian corridor, providing places for people to sit and take in the new enhanced boulevard,” stated the release. But Findlater said he, other members of council and several residents aren’t sold on that concept. “I think most people would rather look across, through traffic, at some of the landscaping, rather than look at a blank wall,” he said. As of Tuesday, district staff were reviewing the situation with the design consultant, and plan to turn at least some of the benches to face the street. Findlater expected those changes within the next week. Other than the benches, West Kelowna’s mayor said he was happy with the improvements to Brown Road, which include: Roadway improvements and repaving; creation of

spring break” she said, so students could get the most out of their education. It was a message thousands of her cohorts across B.C. intended to get across that morning, despite warnings of repercussions from school district officials. The walk-out, organized through social media, however, did not have a tremendous pull locally. Rehlinger was one of only two students standing outside Kelowna Secondary School as the clock struck 9 a.m. Senior high schools in general had a very light showing, said School District 23 superintendent Hugh Gloster. The most significant at that level was George Elliot, where students had a mid-afternoon

study session to show their frustration at lost class hours. Middle schools had the biggest showing. At Rutland middle school there were about 30 who walked out. One lone boy walked out of his elementary class, much to the chagrin of his father, said Gloster. Overall the turnout was disappointing to Rehlinger’s partner in political activism, Grade 11 student Isobel Kirk. “I thought more students would be interested in having our side heard, and making sure that we wouldn’t be used as a pawn between (the province) and teachers,” Kirk said. For her, the stakes are high. Rounding the corner

into Grade 12, she’s balancing a raft of academic courses with extracurricular activity. “I’m in four academic classes, and I can’t get the help I’d usually get at lunch,” she said. “My studies are suffering. I had to miss a few classes because I’m in theatre, and the shows are after school. Now I’ve had to do them in class time and I’m falling behind.” Rehlinger has had similar struggles and she’s frustrated. “We have a right to our education and we shouldn’t have to miss it,” she said. Teachers and the province may say they have students in mind, but Rehlinger said that she has been through their tug-of-war

three times and has come to believe the only clear lesson is that her studies have continually been compromised by the ongoing strife. As for choosing sides between the teachers and province, she pointedly said she chooses her fellow students. “I hope it gets resolved as soon as possible,” she said. Both girls noted that some teachers have told them they are in support of their effort to have their voices heard, as are their parents. Over in Rutland, some parents went so far as to join protesting students, despite alleged warnings that suspensions would be

Union/province negotiating Students from A1 handed out to any students who skipped class. Those in attendance, however, weren’t deterred. “They walked out on us, so why shouldn’t we walk out on them,” said one student in response to the disruption caused by teachers’ rotating strikes, which so far has resulted in two days of classes being cancelled in the Central Okanagan School District. Gloster said that there were no repercussions for those who walked out Wednesday. “We try to encourage our kids to be

contributors, be engaged in these situations and ask questions,” he said. “Those are characteristics we’re trying to instill, we just wanted to encourage them to not lose more class time.” Meantime, teachers and the province continue to negotiate. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has reduced its pay increase proposal by one per cent over four years and offered other concessions in a move to end the stalemate that has led to two weeks of rotating strikes in public schools. The new BCTF wage proposal would see an in-

crease of 9.75 per cent over four years, plus costof-living adjustments in each year depending on inflation. BCTF president Jim Iker has estimated that with inflation, the total increase would add up to 12.75 per cent. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing the province’s 60 school districts, has proposed 7.5 per cent over six years, with a $1,200 signing bonus if an agreement is reached by the end of the school year.
