▼ WEST KELOWNA
Site chosen for the new municipal hall Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna council has decided where the district’s new municipal hall will be built. Mayor Doug Findlater announced Tuesday 3641 Elliott Rd. was chosen as the site for the estimated $8.9 million municipal hall/civic centre. The district will now enter into negotiations for a possible contract with New Town/Sturgess Group regarding its proposed development at the site. West Kelowna shortlisted four potential locations for the new municipal hall in January. “The response we received from the four proponents was exceptional,” said Findlater. “The process itself has resulted in an excellent option for the development of a municipal hall.” The mayor said cost, risk, design and location were key considerations that led council to its decision. He compared the $8.9 million price tag to the $8.2 million RCMP detachment on Dobbin Road. “That puts it in a scale that I think people can understand. “The RCMP building did not break the bank for West Kelowna. It’s been quite affordable and we found very creative ways to cover the cost of that debt we had to take on.” The district anticipates the cost to build the municipal hall can be covered through the municipality’s current budget without any additional tax burden on residents over what is the current 10-year financial plan. West Kelowna is also actively seeking funding opportunities, partnerships with other governmental agencies and leasing opportunities to offset the costs of the project. “Depending on what the financial arrangements are, we’ll determine the amount of debt and how much in reserves and so on we need to do.” See Site A28

THIS FAWN, one of two ensconced in a Tower Ranch flower bed, was placed by its mother in this safe spot while she went off looking for food, close but not always within site of her babies.

Public told to leave little deer undisturbed Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
If you see a fawn planted in your flowers, leave it be, says the Conservation Officer Services. “The best advice we have is to leave those fawns alone,” said Mike Badry, wildlife conflict manager for the provincial Min-
Dealer #40020

istry of Environment. Every spring people attempt to intervene when a fawn is found alone, but it’s unprotected position is often by design, according to Badry. Mothers will plant their fawns in a single spot for up to 24 hours and leave them, seemingly unattended and close to people,
while off foraging for food. Placing them in close proximity to human beings may very well be the intent because civilization tends to ward off aggressive males; it’s a pattern the conservation officers have seen with bears as well. With the rapid urban deer population growth in the Cen-
tral Okanagan several incidents of fawns being picked up by area residents have been in the news this spring. “We encourage people to leave them for at least 24 hours,” said Badry, noting it will be important to watch the small creature to see if the mother is tending to in during the intervening time.

Event addresses ‘golden ager’ issues
Gunshot killed mobile home park resident
Alistair waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Helen Gill is only 62. But she is already planning for her ‘golden years.’ Gill was one of an estimated 300 people who showed up Wednesday at the 10th annual Kelowna Senior’s Safety Fair, held at Trinity Baptist Church complex on Springfield Road. After talking with Kelowna Fire Department fire inspector Russ Vande der De Sype about smoke detectors, Gill said she has already started planning to apply for her Canada Pension. “And the information here (from the more than 50 exhibitors on hand) is very useful,” she added. The one-day fair, which included an exhibition component and two presentations—one on wills and estate planning and the other on the benefits available under Canada’s retirement income system—is put on each year by the Seniors’ Outreach and Resource Centre in partnership with Trinity Baptist. With a large and growing seniors’ population here, information for those over 65, as well as those nearing that age and younger people who look after seniors, the fair brings much of the infor-
mation they need under one roof. But it is not just services aimed solely at seniors that were featured. Other community resources, like the fire department’s fire prevention officials, as well as Central Okanagan RCMP Victim’s Services, the Kelowna Community Food Bank, the B.C. Securities Commission and the RCMP were also represented. Local realtor Michael Loewen, with Royal LePage and one of just a few realtors in town who specialize in dealing with seniors, said that segment of the population makes up about 30 per cent of his business. As they get older and decide to either to downsize or sell and move into a retirement facility, seniors are finding more need for realtors all the time. One of the services Loewen offers is an independent review of seniors’ facilities, one free of any “spin” that may be presented by those looking to attract seniors to their facility. He said he also gives the finder’s fee facilities offer those who bring them new clients, to the client to help them move. Kathryn McLean, with the non-profit Seniors’ Outreach and Resource Centre and one of the fair’s organizers, said

HELEN Gill, of Kelowna, talks with fire department inspector Russ Van der De Sype
about smoke detectors at the annual Senior’s Safety Fair on Wednesday. The fair, held at the Trinty Baptist Church complex, is put on by the Seniors’ Outreach and Resource Centre. each year the event seems to grow in popularity as it seems many older Kelowna residents are happy to get the information. During their presentation on wills and estate planning, Jim Herperger and Nancy Ling, of FH&P Lawyers in Ke-
lowna, explained some of the changes that came in with the new B.C. Wills Estate and Succession Act, March 31. It governs how wills are to be written in B.C. from now on. But if you have an existing will, Herperger said you don’t have to rush
out to get it redone. Wills written before the new act came into effect remain valid. But, he added, if your will is more than five years old, it’s not a bad idea to take a look at it and make sure it still does what you want it to do.

Hail storm racking up crop damage claims Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Some 50 claims have been filed for hail damage in the Central Okanagan this spring. Storms on May 28 and June 3, felt primarily in the Kelowna and Ellison area and the Vernon and Bellavista areas respectively, hit apple, cherry and pear growers, prompting 50 notices of loss for damages to the Kelowna Produc-
tion Insurance office. “At this point the extent of the damage is still being determined,” according to the Ministry of Agriculture’s communication department. Local orchardists report the damage was extremely sporadic. While Christine Dendy, a grower on the upper bench in East Kelowna, said bad weather had not been a factor at all on her farm, BC Fruit Growers’ Association
president Fred Steele said a few Glenmore growers were hit. His apple orchard sits in the neighbourhood, but fared fine. It would appear a storm surging in the South Okanagan on May 26 did the most damage. Growers in Cawston and Oliver have filed 118 notices of loss after hail hammered apple, pear, apricot, prune and plum crops, with some farmers reporting extensive damage.
The decision over whether or not to purchase hail insurance is up to individual growers. Orchardists who have not been hit by hail can still secure 100 per cent coverage, despite the late hour in the growing season. The 2013 growing season was devastating for many Central Okanagan growers. Damages over the course of the season were estimated to top $18 million with 1,200 claims filed.
The BC Coroners Service announced Wednesday that Dennis Marvin Greep, 56, died from self-inflicted wounds. According to the coroner’s report, Greep lit his residence on fire then shot himself in the head with a high calibre rifle. The remains of his two dogs were also found on site. Greep’s death was discovered April 9, when residents of Westpoint Mobile Home Park woke up to thick black smoke blanketing thier small neighbourhood. “We’ve lost a neighbour,” said Carol Curtis, who lives a few doors down from what’s now a charred husk of a home situated in a river of foamy, white fire retardant. “He was a good dog owner, and walked his dogs faithfully.” Greep lived in the area for six years, but neighbours said he largely kept to himself. West Kelowna fire chief Wayne Schnitzler said at the time the home was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived, and the damage was mostly to the middle of the mobile home, as it appeared flames moved toward the back of the property. Of high concern upon arrival was containing the spread of flames, added Schnitzler, as homes in the mobile home park are quite close together. Jim Christiansen lives next door to the home that burnt down, and was just a stone’s throw away from the flames that were licking the perimeter of his neighbour’s roof . “I heard a bang and the window blew out,” he said. “At first we thought it was a car accident because you get them here all the time. But the air was so black, and you could see flames coming out of the roof.”
Property tax deadline July 2 Kelowna property owners are reminded that 2014 property taxes must be paid by midnight, Wednesday, July 2. “We encourage taxpayers to pay through their bank using online or telephone banking because it’s quick, easy and you get to bypass the hassle of waiting in line,” said Lynn Walter, revenue manager for the City of Kelowna. “Alternatively, taxes can be paid by mail, at drop boxes at various city locations or in person at City Hall.” Property taxes can be paid by cash, cheque, money order or debit card. While City Hall will be closed for Canada Day, Tuesday, July 1, deposit boxes are available around the clock at the Water Street entrance to City Hall, Doyle Avenue parking lot exit and at Parkinson Recreation Centre. Deposit boxes are emptied each evening. For more information about property taxes, visit kelowna.ca/propertytax.

Design Jam brings big brains together to help solve food security problem
Garden Tour Sale
Jennifer Smith
Saturday, June 14th
STAFF REPORTER
The food system is a complicated beast. Twenty people tackling one of its key foibles at Kelowna’s inaugural Design Jam learned one cannot cherry-pick a solution when it comes to farming, particularly to create more visibility and transparency. The challenge set out by the Design Jam hosts appeared simple: Develop a system or technological solution to help newcomers to the Okanagan access organic and locally-

grown food quickly and efficiently. “A newcomer is going to come in having familiarity with systems that were built in their communities and it’s not necessarily comparable to Kelowna,” said Shane Austin, host of the jam. Austin is based out of the Kelowna Innovation Centre. He founded a coshared work space call co+Lab, and has worked
through treatment. The group wound up developing a social networking solution, merging counselling professionals and people who might be able to offer an empathetic ear from within the patients’ social network in a technological format even those confined to a house or hospital could access. The track record for farming did not produce similarly yields, but Austin believes the group learned a lot in the process. “I think it took a whole day to really get a sense around the space of food sustainability, that it’s incredibly complex,” he said. “We really needed a second day.” The group concluded a welcome wagon, of sorts, is likely the most effective way to draw in
residents new to the area, provide information on local farmers and farmers’ markets and perhaps offer an incentive to get the new customer through the door. Sitting in the room, madly taking notes during the final presentation, was a member of the Soil Mate team. The new tech startup is hoping to provide the solution to the problem through its farm-to-table social networking site, Soilmate.com. The idea to tackle a food system problem came from the Central Okanagan Food Policy Council and Austin says the next Design Jam, tentatively set for this fall, will likely take a full weekend. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Cameron Grant, Used Car Manager for Kelowna Chrysler Dodge has just announced plans to hold a used car and truck event with used cars and trucks being SLASHED down thousands of dollars. Due to the current market conditions, we have an extra amount of used cars, trucks and lease returns. Now we need to reduce the number of vehicles in our used car inventory.

▼ TWU DECISION
Fundamental rights require acceptance T Majority of lawyers hose of us who have volunteered our time to lead organizations know how it works. It might be a business group, community group, strata council or parent advisory council. A handful of hard working volunteers take the time to learn all the facts and understand the big picture so that the best decisions can be made for everyone else. Inevitably, there is a minority of those ignorant of the full picture who cry foul and challenge those decisions. The word “ignorant” is often used as an insult. I am using it with the ever-reliable Wikipedia definition: “Ignorance is a state of being uninformed (lack of knowledge).” Indeed, insults might be levied at those who bitch and complain without bothering to become informed but I don’t think it is fair to think any less of someone on the simple basis of being uninformed. Perhaps I am trying to make myself feel better about my own ignorance. I was one of the lawyers to add my name to the petition requiring a special meeting of the Law Society of British Columbia to rethink its approval of the Trinity Western University law school. I was one of those “bitch and complainers”

At the time, homosexuality was seen by psychiatrists as a mental illness. She required the certification of a psychiatrist that she was sane as a prerequisite to becoming a lawyer.

ironically, fearing the stigma of ethnic heritage exposed by my last name (literally translated to mean “Mr. God” in German) in relation to Nazi atrocities during World War II. Findlay has noted that gay sex was still a criminal offence in Canada in 1967 when she first realized she was a lesbian. As I type this, I am learning from international news that there are still areas in the United States of America where young people undergo “conversion therapy” in failed attempts to “cure” sexual orientation. I was also struck by the comments of another speaker, Michael Mulligan. I had walked into the meeting with the perspective that there was a debate between equally important rights and freedoms, i.e. the freedom of religion versus the freedom to be free from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Mr. Mulligan opened my eyes to the notion that the two rights and freedoms are nowhere close to being equal—one being a freedom of belief and dogma; the other being a right to be free from harm. How could a right to beliefs, when butting up against a right to be free from harm, ever be on an equal footing? How ironic, by the way, that we were discussing these competing rights when religion was a key factor in the oppression of those of alternate sexual orientation in the first place. The harms from this form of discrimination have become less and less dramatic in our province and our country, but they continue. I am learning that we must be vigilant to stand up against those continuing harms, including those at Trinity Western University. I went to the meeting with Jill Bishop, a new
reject TWU law school
Jeff Nagel CONTRIBUTOR
Law Society of B.C. members voted 76 per cent Tuesday against approval of a law school at Trinity Western University over its opposition to sex outside heterosexual marriage. The vote of the special general meeting isn’t binding on the board of governors, who previously voted to approve the contentious law school in Langley. Opponents within the legal community argued the Christian university’s community covenant prohibiting “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman” discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation against gay and lesbian law students and faculty. The vote was 3,210 in favour to 968 opposed. The governors, known as Benchers, made their decision April 11 after extensive debate, a number of legal opinions and a Supreme Court of Canada decision on religious freedom won by Trinity Western University in 2001. TWU president Bob Kuhn said he’s disappointed by the vote. “Difficult decisions involving fundamental rights and freedoms should not be decided by popular opinion,” Kuhn said. He said there’s no evidence that religious beliefs of TWU-trained lawyers would affect their ability to serve all clients. “A just society protects the rights of religious minorities.” Law Society president Jan Lindsay said Benchers will give the result of the vote “serious and thoughtful consideration.” The law school already has approval from the provincial government to open but the law society controls who can practise as a lawyer in B.C. A court challenge is meanwhile underway to overturn the provincial government’s approval, and law societies in Ontario and Nova Scotia recently refused to approve TWU’s law school, meaning graduates may not be able to practise law across the country. “This is a complex issue that engages many points of view,” Lindsay said. “Ultimately, I fully expect that the issues raised will be decided by the Supreme Court of Canada.” TWU aims to open the new law school by September 2016. lawyer whose ceremony of being called to the bar had been just the day before. We made history together, along with an overwhelming majority of British Columbia lawyers who said no to Trinity Western University’s law program. Bishop was prepared to add her voice to the meeting, but there were already too many
like-minded lawyers lined up at microphones. She was going to express her prediction that her grandchildren will look back on that historic day and wonder, aghast, how the point could have been debated in the first place. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Kelowna service honours slain Moncton RCMP officers
▼ KELOWNA WORKSHOP
Kathy Michaels
Want to have a say on how Kelowna’s venerable City Park will look in the future? The city will host a community workshop to help refine its City Park concept plan June 25 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Coast Capri Hotel. The workshop is looking for participants. City planner Pat McCormick said about five people will be selected from names submitted for the workshop between now and June 18. A random draw of names will be made June 20. Kelowna residents are invited to take part in shaping the downtown’s signature waterfront park by registering: • online at kelowna.ca/ mycitypark • by email at pmccormick@kelowna.ca • by phone at 250-4698605. With the decision to remove a proposed visitor centre that was to go in the park from the original concept plan, further community input is being sought to reconsider how space in the park can be organized to attract and benefit park users and guide future investments in the park. “The workshop will build on the commun-
dance troupe. “The young dancers decided they’d like to donate the left-over flowers to our members to show support in the wake of the tragedy we’ve all experienced,” he said. And, he stressed, it really is a loss that they’re all experiencing. “It’s difficult to understand to those not involved in policing, but policing is really a family. It’s a brotherhood and a family. Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave Joseph Ross, you will always be a part of the RCMP family, and we will always remember you.” Gevaudan, Larche and Ross were gunned down last Wednesday evening after responding to a report of a man with firearms in a residential neighbourhood in the northwest area of Moncton. In addition to the fatalities, Constables Eric Dubois and Darlene Goguen, were wounded but have since been released from hospital. The shootings and the ensuing 30-hour manhunt for the alleged killer brought Moncton to a standstill until an arrest was made just after midnight last Friday.

ity input that has been received to date and is intended to refine the earlier version of the plan that included the visitor centre,” said McCormick. The centre is now being proposed for the foot of Queensway.
Speaking about the planned workshop, McCormick said it will be a “hands-on” exercise, with attendees participating in small groups to discuss the future for the park “Facilitators will assist each group. The aim
is to generate a preferred plan and bring it forward to council for consideration sometime in the fall,” he said. The redevelopment of the park is expected to take 20 years, depending on city finances.

Kelowna mourners filed into the pews at Trinity Baptist church Tuesday to pay homage to the three Mounties shot dead last week in the line of duty. Sitting shoulder to shoulder, members of the public blanketed the church in red, offering a sartorial salute to the national police force who were gathering to honour constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave Joseph Ross. When Pastor Tim Schroeder opened the Tuesday morning memorial before the national funeral was live-streamed on to two large screens, he noted that kind of support is exactly what the RCMP need now. “We welcome you and we thank you for being here,” he said. “It really matters…The events of this week have demonstrated how vitally important it is that we support (the RCMP) in every way possible.” Last week in Moncton, that support materialized with the simple gesture of residents leaving on their porch lights as Mounties fanned out in search of a gunman. “To those of us in the religious community it includes praying regularly for your safety,” he said, shifting his words to the
RCMP members gathered. “We need you, and we appreciate you more than we typically show. The tragedy of last week has shown one more time that if we as a community don’t take care of you, the safety and the peace of our community and in fact, our whole nation, is at stake.” Kelowna RCMP Supt. Nick Romanchuk pointed out that two Kelowna officers were troop members with two of the fallen officers, and their loss was felt across the detachment. Also, he noted that there were too many parallels to another incident not far enough in his past. “I remember vividly standing in front of a crowd like this in 2005 in Trail when we lost our four members in Mayerthorpe,” he said. “I hoped at that time I would never have to go back and stand in front of a group like this, but in just over nine years, I find myself before you again, under alarmingly similar circumstances. Certainly it’s something that I never wanted to have to do.” Bringing comfort, however, has been the support of the public, which Romanchuk said was “overwhelming.” Flowers lined the foot of the podium from where he was speaking, and Romanchuk said they were brought in from a local

Teachers losing public relations battle
P
arents and students are once again hanging in the balance as the 201314 school year comes to a stumbling conclusion. With the BC Teachers Federation now armed with an 86 per cent vote strike vote mandate, their negotiating committee is poised to do something, the question is what. Clearly, the rotating strike action over the past three weeks has done little to further their negotiating points of dispute on salaries, class size and class
composition. What has happened is the ministry of education coffers are saving money, $12 million a day when teachers are off the job, money we will likely never see re-invested in the school system, its more likely destination being the government general revenue account. Students are anxiously wondering if summer might start early should teachers go on strike next Monday, while parents are left to scramble with alternative measures should classes con-
clude prematurely. As we said in this space several weeks ago when the BCTF started threatening labour action and the provincial government negotiators took a hardline stance, we’ve all seen this movie play out before. And if history is any indication, it won’t end well for teachers. But strategically, for teachers to walk off the job would appear to make little impact on the current state of the contract talks. That might change, however, if teachers opted to not report for
work come September. Ultimately, a contract settlement will be reached when Premier Christy Clark decides the time has come to reach an agreement, just as her predecessors have done. And the pressure to make that happen will come from parents, not from the negotiating tactics of teachers. It’s a public relations battle now, as it always is, so when the government decides it’s time to end that particular game, a settlement won’t be far behind.

Summer marks fresh fruit season across the Okanagan
I
was out for a walk the other night, enjoying the warm Okanagan evening, when I started craving a peach. Summer time is synonymous with fresh fruit in B.C. When you’ve been out in the sun and starting to feel a little hungry, you can’t beat the satisfying taste of nutritious, delicious fruit. I get similar cravings in the fall, though usually then I’m anticipating the delightful crunch and sweet taste of biting into a fresh apple. We are so lucky to live in a place where we can experience the sublime
pleasure of eating fruit plucked straight from a tree. The B.C. tree fruit industry has 400 commercial growers in the Okanagan, SimNorm ilkameen and Creston Letnick valley, as well as smaller fruit producing areas in the Fraser Valley and the Gulf Islands. All in all, our province has about 15,000 acres of apples, pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums. We know about the health benefits that come with eating fresh fruit—that saying about an apple a day keeping the doctor away didn’t
MLA’S REPORT
come out of nowhere. However, fruit and the fruit industry also play a vital role in the health of our province’s economy. The grower farm cash receipts for apples alone were valued at $44 million in 2012. When we look at another one of my favourite crops, grapes, it’s even more outstanding. In 2012, total farm gate receipts in grapes were more than $54 million. That’s an increase of 31 per cent from the year before. It was a good year for grape growers, which means a good winter that resulted in fewer injured grapes. In can be very hard on grape farmers when crops don’t fare so well through our cold months. Most of the grapes we produce
serve a higher purpose than merely being excellent finger food for our kids’ lunchboxes. B.C. accounts for more than onethird of the entire country’s grape receipts, and production in this province has doubled since 2000. The main reason is the increased demand for high-quality grapes from British Columbia wineries. Our province’s 642 grape farms cover more than 10,000 acres with all but 200 acres used for wine grapes. The majority of our great grapes—90 per cent—are produced in the Thompson-Okanagan. But when it comes to our No. 1 exported tree fruit, cherries take the cake. In 2012, B.C. exported $42.1
million in cherries to countries such as Hong Kong, the U.S. and the Netherlands. B.C. exported $16.9 million in apples, $1.5 million in apricots and $400,000 in pears that same year. The provincial government’s goal has always been to support agriculture and the people who work in it. In fact, B.C.’s top tree fruit exports in 2012 included cherries ($42.1 million), apples ($16.9 million), apricots ($1.5 million) and pears ($400,000). This month I will be travelling to China as part of ongoing negotiations to gain greater export opportunities for BC cherry Growers. I am optimistic that we will soon be successful. Local Liberal MLA Norm Letnick is B.C.’s agriculture minister.

LETTERS
Binding arbitration only way to fair conclusion To the editor: I have been a secondary teacher in B.C. for the past 14 years. In that time I have been subject to contract stripping, days of protest, essential services legislation, strike votes, illegal walkouts, employer-driven lockouts and sanctioned strikes. I went into teacher training and chose this career path because I wanted to work with adolescents to help them learn skills that would enable them to become contributing members of society who could impact their communities in positive ways and live fulfilling lives. I am frustrated by the demands placed on me by the union and the employer, as explained above, and am tired, in fact fatigued, by this dispute. I have seen the maximum number of students in my class balloon from 24 to as many as 33. This was in a Grade 11/12 woodwork class where safety of the students required that they could not meet the outcomes that I expect from a normal sized class. For comparison, college trades courses with adult students (referred to as mature students, I assume for a reason) have a hard maximum at 16. The only time that there has been a successful end to a contract dispute with teachers in this province since I started teaching was with a mediated settlement. It still took two weeks of strike to get there and impacted
students, parents, teachers and the community at large. I have heard both sides say that they want a fair deal: Fair for teachers, fair for the taxpayer. I have also heard both sides say that this bargaining system is broken, in fact none other than my school’s MLA, Christy Clark, has stated this herself. In light of all of this disagreement and actual agreement (regarding the broken system), I have a proposal. Both sides need to enter into binding arbitration with an arbitrator who is armed with the ability to come to an equitable settlement. Both sides need to agree on the arbitrator and must accept the binding nature of the arbitrator’s findings. If they can do this, they will end up with a fair settlement. That is the point of arbitration. In fact, there is one style of arbitration that awards the entire ruling to the side that chooses the fairest proposal (think of it as collective bargaining a la curling—closest to the button wins). This format forces both sides to put forward their most fair proposal from the outset to avoid being too far away from ‘the button’ and generally both sides end up quickly and significantly close together. How would this impact the rest of the people caught up in the debate? • Teachers would not be on strike
• Students would have class and all of their final year performances and graduation ceremonies • Parents would have security knowing that their children will not be impacted by strikes or lockouts • The taxpayer would know that the arbitrator is providing the fairest settlement possible so their financial interests would be secure. Binding arbitration would result in a lot of stress and pressure for the bargainers on both sides, and very little for everyone else in the system. It seems like the sensible thing to do and I believe that the entirety of B.C. might delight in a therapeutic session of schadenfreude in regards to the bargainer’s misery that might go a long way to mending the divisions between the different groups. My proposal has one other thing going for it: If either or both sides don’t entertain this as a viable option and are unwilling to try a tested dispute resolution technique, then they are making a clear statement to the people of B.C.: That they are not interested in coming to a fair conclusion to this dispute. If that is the case then we know that they are more interested in the fight than the resolution. John Kramer, technology education teacher, Central Okanagan

On June 5, 2014, I saw that the price of gas shot back up to 1.44 a litre. It would appear that all in British Columbia are donating $21.17 for every 100 litres of gas that you and I buy at the gas pumps. I don’t think that the HST ever did end. Trickee Christy set us all up. They say HST ended a short time ago. And just before it did the price of gas jumped to over $1.40 per litre. You can check
these tax prices for yourself. We and the Alberta tourists pay to Trickee Christy and the ‘Lie’berals 14.5 cents provincial gas tax and 6.67 cents B.C. carbon tax, for every litre of gas that we buy. So, as you can see, we are all paying into the bottomless Liberal tax purse. Please, can someone start a sensible third political party in this province, so British Columbians have got some one
else to vote for besides the NDP and their bottomless tax purse. So, darn it, get down to the gas pumps and fill up the gas tank. Trickee Christy wants to take your money for another three years. Rennie said the 2017 campaign is counting on building a continual stream of small donations. And over the next number of years that will be hundreds of dollars for some of us and thousands of

ing year. If you watch who is driving all these vehicles, it is astonishing to see (how many) of the vehicles on the road have a single passenger (the driver). Can we not do something to promote carpooling or better yet, let’s make certain areas pedestrian only? Bernard Avenue would be a good place to start. Do we really need parking on Bernard from Richter to Abbott Street? Could this not be a pedestrian mall area only? While we’re at it, let’s stop this nonsense of not using the advance green left-hand arrow at intersections at certain times of the day. If we have an advance green traffic light, let’s use it all the time. Not using it increases the likelihood of another accident as drivers try to turn left on the amber or the red. The abandoned CN rail corridor is a great
opportunity for light-rail transit. Let’s move on that idea and while we’re at it, let’s kick the second crossing (bypass) over Okanagan Lake into high gear. Does waiting another 10 to 12 years really seem like the right thing to do given the volume of traffic we see today on the existing Bennett Bridge? Cracking down on the speed at which many drivers travel in Kelowna would also be a good measure. Every day a majority of vehicles exceed the posted speed limit by 20 to 30 kms on our main thoroughfares. How about really using our red-light cameras to enforce the law with regards to redlight runners. Pedestrian traffic rules and safety—that’s another glaring deficiency as I find most drivers do not wait till the pedestrian is out of the crosswalk before roar-
ing behind them when they are halfway across the crosswalk. That’s if they decide to even stop or slow down. I love Kelowna and am so grateful to be living in our wonderful city. But please, please, let’s make

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference
Something needs to be done about the traffic Open letter to City Hall: As a Kelowna citizen for the past five years, it has become quite obvious to me that Kelowna has a huge vehicular traffic load from approximately 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. At times, the traffic is so busy, that near gridlock occurs on our main roads such as Harvey, Enterprise Way, Springfield to name a few. We have heard about advance green left-hand turn traffic lights that are to be installed at Harvey and Cooper and Harvey and Burtch, but that was nearly a year ago. Why is it taking so long to get this done? As much as our civic leaders have insisted that they desire to have Kelowna more ‘green’ in regards to traffic, the number of vehicles on the road increases with each pass-

Gangsters put on alert by police

NEWS
Gang members won’t be welcome with a tourist friendly smile by Kelowna RCMP this summer. Police say their message to vacationing gang members from other communities is simple— you’re not welcome here.
Over the past several years, police have noticed a considerable increase in gang presence throughout the Central Okanagan during the summer months as gang members and their associates from across B.C. and Alberta
venture to the hot beaches and cool waters here. With them comes illicit drugs and the everpresent potential for a range of gang-related violence, according to the RCMP. Kelowna has seen its

The Kelowna RCMP will be working closely this summer with their
policing partners from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC) as well as agencies from Alberta in order to combat the gang presence this summer. Already, police have been working with staff and management at the many bars, restaurants and hotels in Kelowna to promote public safety resulting in a number of removals.
This week’s feature: ture:
“By using our own expertise as well as that of police from other jurisdictions we will be able to quickly and efficiently identify gang members and their associates,” said Kelowna RCMP Supt. Nick Romanchuk. “We want them to know that they are not anonymous here, they are not wanted here and if they commit an offence of any kind, there will be zero tolerance.”

Stem cell research cure source for bipolar disorder
W
hen most of us think of stem cells, we think of ethical controversy, umbilical cord blood banks, growing new tissues and other commonly discussed topics in medical research. I would venture that not many think of stem cell research in relation to psychiatric conditions and what we might learn about them. Researchers at the University of Michigan are now using stem cells from skin fibroblasts of people with bipolar disorder to gain more understanding of this difficult mental illness. By observing how the stem cells behave and change, researchers have already discovered a few ways in which cells from individuals with bipolar disorder are different from those with no bipolar disorder. Differences lie in how often certain genes are expressed, how they differentiate, how they communicate and also how they respond to lithium. Examining gene expression in cells from those with and without bipolar disorder as they differentiated into neurons, researchers found the cells from bipolar patients express more genes involved with sending and receiving calcium signals between cells. This is particularly interesting because calcium signals are known to be important to neuron development and function and other studies have already linked bipolar disorder to problems with neuronal calcium balance. Signalling patterns changed in the
presence of lithium among the cells from bipolar patients—the lithium didn’t completely normalize the calcium signaling, but made a noticeable difference and Paul showed that lithium (a Latimer mainstay in treatment for bipolar disorder) affects the metabolism of calcium. Researchers have also noticed differences in what is called microRNA expression in the cells from bipolar patients and this suggests bipolar disorder likely occurs as a result of a combination of genetic susceptibilities. This is the first study of its kind, published in March in the journal Translational Psychiatry, and the investigators report being excited by preliminary findings. The more we can learn about how cells act and react in bipolar disorder and other psychiatric conditions, the better we’ll understand about causes and possible interventions to help people living with these illnesses. I anticipate much more to come from this and other groups examining stem cells in hope of discovering more about mental illness and I look forward to the day when this kind of research enables more personalized treatment and prevention tools. Meantime, bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses can be effectively managed today. Speak with your doctor and get a referral to a mental health professional if you think you or a loved one are experiencing mental health symptoms. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials.

Repaired Bester back to defend title at Kelowna Futures Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
After undergoing hip surgery last fall, Phillip Bester wasn’t certain whether he’d ever play competitive tennis again. Next month, the 25-year-old from North Vancouver will be back in the Okanagan to defend his title at the 2014 Kelowna ITF Futures Tournament. “You always have good vibes and good feelings about going back to a place you’ve had success,” Bester said Wednesday from Florida, his home-base for training. “The city and the surroundings…the crowd in Kelowna was very supportive, they supported kind of a local kid from Vancouver, so that was nice to see. “I’ve been through quite a bit since then,” he added, “so it’s exciting to be back.” Bester will be among the favourites in the 32-player men’s singles field, as Kelowna hosts the 2014 edition of the tournament, June 28 to July 6 at the Parkinson Recreation Centre courts. Up to and including last year’s stop in Kelowna, Bester had been experiencing hip problems but still managed to knock off fellow Canadian Brayden Schnur in tightly-contested final. Following surgery in November, Bester was unsure if his best days on the court might be behind him for good. This
week, Bester is happy to announce he’s fully recovered and ready to embark on what he hopes will be the best phase of his tennis career. “Not knowing if I’d ever play again, it really helped me build some character,” said Bester. “I learned that you have to take things one day at a time, accept the things that happen and deal with them the best you can. I feel like now I’m headed into the prime of my career, I still have passion and love for the game, so we’ll see where it takes me.” The Futures and Challenger circuits are both stepping stones to the ATP tour, where Bester ultimately hopes his path will lead in the next year. Once ranked as high as No. 229 in the world, Bester has played in eight ATP events in his career. A key tournament for pro ranking points and precursor to the ATP circuit, this is the third consecutive year Kelowna has hosted the ITF Futures Tournament. The weeklong event attracts play-

Some choices are hard.
Fourteen wins in the last 16 games has the redhot Okanagan Athletics pushing the top teams in the B.C. Premier Baseball League. The fourth-place A’s have a chance to continue their climb this weekend when they visit the thirdplace Victoria Mariners. The teams will play a twin bill Saturday and two more on Sunday. The Mariners (16-5) and A’s (21-11) both 4 1/2 games out of first, but Victoria is officially third due to a better winning percentage—.727 to .656. “We’re going into this series hoping to win it, but a split would probably be acceptable,” said A’s head coach Evan Bailey. “It’ll be a grind because the (Mariners) are a pretty good ball club and we’ve been playing well, too. It’ll be a good test for us against one of the league’s better teams.” The Athletics got the best of a top-four contender last weekend, taking three of four from the hometown Vancouver Cannons. After losing the opener Saturday 4-2, Okanagan made amends in Game 2 with a 10-5 win. David Todosichuk and Sam Avila led the attack with two RBIs each, while Jared Young was on the mound for his fourth win. On Sunday, Easton Forrest threw a complete game six-hitter, while Trevor Lofstrom had two hits and scored three times in a 6-3 Okanagan victory. In the series finale, Matt Brodt fired a seven-hitter for his fifth win and Christian Dupas col-
lected three RBIs as the A’s won 6-1. “I thought a split on Saturday was fair, neither team played all that well,” Bailey said. “But I thought we were good, we swung the bat well and had two good starts from our pitchers.”
JUNIOR A’S…
The junior A’s are on the road this weekend for four games against the hometown Victoria Mariners. Last weekend, the Athletics were swept by first-place Langley, losing 8-2, 8-2, 7-6 and 7-0. Okanagan’s next home action in league play is July 5 and 6 vs. the Coquitlam Redlegs at Edith Gay Park.
BANTAM A’S…
The Okanagan A’s are coming off a solid weekend on the road in B.C. Bantam AAA Baseball League play. On Saturday, the A’s defeated Burnaby 4-2 and 7-2. Then on Sunday, Okanagan lost 4-0 to Vancouver Community, before rebounding for an 11-1 win in the finale. The A’s (10-18) will host Ridge Meadows this Saturday, then Cloverdale on Sunday at Edith Gay.

Host Heat win silver at Spring Sizzle
Run for Women benefits local charities
The host Kelowna Heat more than held its own at the 2014 edition of the Spring Sizzle U16 B girls’ fastball tournament. The Heat went unbeaten all the way to the final against South Delta, before settling for the silver medal on Sunday afternoon at High Noon Park. Kelowna opened the weekend on the right foot with a 15-0 victory over Abbotsford to start the round robin. Emma Lewis led the way by tossing a one-hitter, and added a grand slam in her first at bat. The Heat won their next three games to go 4-0 in the round robin, defeating South Delta Invaders 12-5, Kootenay Kodiaks 9-2, and Langley Xtreme 11-5.

CANDICE Vuong of the Kelowna Heat tags out Emma Lloyd of the Kootenay Ko-
diaks at third base during the Spring Sizzle U16 girls fastball tournament Saturday at High Noon Park. Strong pitching from Gina Selfe and AnnMarie Crandlemire as well as solid defense from the Heat team helped keep the opposition scoring low. Outstanding hitting from Candice Vuong, Tova Turnbull, and Sara Miki led the way for Kelowna, scoring 32 runs over the three games. After earning a playoff bye with their strong round robin effort, Kelowna then defeated the Similkameen Kobau Koyotes 9-4 in the semifinal. In the gold medal game, the Heat met
the South Delta Invaders, who were riding on positive momentum as they had just defeated the Ridge Meadows Rage for the first time this season. South Delta started quickly as they capitalized on some defensive errors in the first two innings by Kelowna. The ensuing innings had Kelowna battling back, loading the bases on three occasions. Solid offense was provided by Nicole Fedorak, Shayla Tyerman and Emma Gilbert, but the team was unable to take advantage and
score most of those runners. The Invaders went on for a 7-3 victory to take the Spring Sizzle tournament title. Other notable members of the Kelowna Heat that contributed to their silver medal finish are Cassidy Floritto, Ainsley Dillon, Emma Wilton, and Dani Knopf. The Kelowna Heat continue their active tournament season as they play in Sicamous this weekend, followed by the Canadian Open in White Rock July 11 to 14.

Freeze or Fry outdoor meet in Red Deer
The Kelowna AquaJets came home with 41 medals and two club records from the 62nd annual Freeze or Fry meet in Red Deer. The outdoor Long Course competition marked the last event for a good chunk of the team. The coaching staff was very excited about the successful trip. “The team did a remarkable job handling their first and only outdoor meet of the season,” explained Jets coach Pete Wilkins. Leading the charge at the meet was the relay team of Katie Dunlop, Tia Itterman, Skye Kinnear and Clarisse Obedkoff who were able to outtouch the host club for Gold in the 4x50 Free relay, while placing second in the Medley relay. Itterman had an inspiring Saturday night, bringing home five medals, all of which came after her anchor leg in the relay (200 IM, 100 Free 50 Fly

a minute later to score a second goal. TOFC let its guard down in the second half and gave up a goal to Fraser Valley 47 minutes into the game and then a tying goal with just 10 minutes remaining. TOFC fought back with success as Nate Portz pushed through and scored the winning goal with two minutes left in the game. The win keeps TOFC tied for the fourth and last playoff position going into the last league game of the season. The boys will face Coquitlam Metro Ford on Saturday in Kamloops.
U15 BOYS
In U15 boys action against Fraser Valley, TOFC took the lead 20 minutes into the game, when midfielder, Quinn Large (Kelowna) raced in and let fly a hard shot. The Fraser Valley keeper blocked the shot, but another TOFC mid fielder, Nic Banman, (Kelowna) tapped in the rebound. TOFC right-back Sa-
mad Twemlow-Carter (Kamloops) was having great overlaps and crosses all game. In the 39th minute Samad completed another brilliant cross where Kamen Wimbelton (Kelowna) directed in a beautiful header and extended the lead to 2-0. With two minutes left in the game, TOFC mid fielder Graeme Lewis (Prince George) showed off his fancy foot as he moved around defenders, penetrating into box before he was grappled and taken down. Graeme capitalized on the ensuing penalty kick and completed the 3-0 victory. TOFC keeper, Taitum MacAulay (Vernon) intercepted crosses and distributed the ball well as he captured another clean sheet. The victory grants the boys a berth into the semifinals of Premier League provincial championships. They continue to be ranked as one of the top four teams in the BCSPL for five straight seasons.

LAKE country painter and multi-media artist Wanda Lock has started a revolution in the small artistic enclave, encouraging the district to put up a space where everyone can freely create art on their own time, adding anything of their own free will. JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS
Lake Country art wall prompts community discussion Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
They were expecting a penis. Discussions started about how it could be incorporated into another image, worked on the wall without bastardizing the open forum concept of the space erected on the lawn out front of the Lake Country Art Gallery specifically to give the community a space to graffiti, to create public art. “I love the discussion of what art is as a professional artist,” said Wanda
Lock, an Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design grad who ran the local Opus store for over a decade. Lock sits on the Lake Country Public Art Commission and spearheaded the initiative to establish an art wall after graffiti artists started having a “very beautiful and honest” discussion on the town’s Petro-Canada gas station wall. Illegal though it was, the text and art went back and forth, images abutting each other overnight until the town provided an art-
istic space. Nothing profane has materialized. Rather the wall has attracted submissions. Lock was sent the only text work on it by Emily Geen, a UBCO grad now doing a masters at the University of Victoria. Her lost kitten posters went up, prompting an unusual kitten theme which has inspired the addition has googly eyes on the wall in a couple of locations. Another UBCO graduate, Heather Leier, sent postcards. Local artists Rose
Braun and Angelika Jager have left their mark, as has Katie Brennan. The colours and images used seem to adapt to the surroundings. “In the wintertime it was quite dark but now we have this colour and people have been responding to it. You can see as the seasons change, as does the colour palette of the wall,” said Lock. When Brennan left her mark it was so cold her paint froze, but she stood out there in a spare moment, making time, not caring who might see.
Lock admits she tried to do her effort quietly, hoping people wouldn’t see her and, assuming it’s her wall, refrain from making a contribution. She added pop and rock stars’ portraits, then put tear-away tabs with song lyrics that those attracted to the ’80s and ’90s-era artists might find fun. Neither artist can explain why the wall they openly invite anyone and everyone to add to has remained such a clean creative space. “It’s something I have been thinking about a
lot,” said Lock. “Is it because it’s been dictated as art that it automatically has rules attached to it, even though I’m trying to break down those rules and get people to just add?” So successful has the effort been the public art commission is considering adding another fourby-six piece of plywood to double the space. Raw, visceral and about as real as it gets, the wall definitely attracts the gaze of passersby, even on the relatively quiet rural road where it sits.
The lyrics of the Alanis Morissette song Hand In My Pocket she has scribed on one of her tear-away strips sum it all up: “I’m green but I’m wise,” it reads. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Santana collaborates with contemporary artists for latest album
SANTANA: CORAZON (RCA)
It has been more than a decade since Carlos Santana last released a major label studio album, Shaman, but you have to go back to 1999s huge selling Supernatural album for the template to this new album titled Corazon—‘Heart’ in English. Like Supernatural, Santana has hooked up with many current stars for a collaborative album but unlike the mainstream pop and rock stars of Supernatural, Santana has now hooked up with many international stars the Latin music realm. This will ensure huge sales around the world while his hard core fans have bought enough of Corazon to make this a top 10 entry in the USA. There is a lot to like here especially on the Deluxe Edition CD and
Bruce Mitchell DVD that has a few extra songs. Unlike the Supernatural sessions, Santana has tamed down his guitar solos and fills where he is more economical. In the past he tended to fill up every breathing space or even gaps between lyrics with guitar jabs but this time he is more integrated in the mix. My fave track is the lead off party celebration song Saideira that has a sly hint of ska in the mix. Ziggy Marley also shines on his cover of his father’s Iron Lion Zion whereas the remake of Oye Coma Va titled Oye 2014 with Pitbull is

MICHAEL JACKSON: XSCAPE (EPIC)
SOUNDING OFF
under-realized and pointless. Lots of stars here with help from Gloria Estefan, Miguel, Wayne Shorter, Diego Torres, Juanes, Samuel Rosa and too many more to mention. B
Posthumous albums are always somewhat problematic in that, is this how MJ wanted these songs to turn out or is this a fancy of the producers, here overseen by L.A. Reid and Timbaland. Well, if you get the Deluxe Edition CD and DVD you get to hear both MJ’s demo workups as well as the Xscape pure pop versions and thankfully the producers here did not go overboard with too much studio gimmickry. Most of these
songs seem true to MJ’s often fully fleshed demo plans while some of these songs date well back in Jackson’s career before
Off The Wall and Thriller. The lead off song, Love Never Felt So Good, is a solid pop tune with hooky disco overtones (as co-written by Paul Anka!) while that same song is bound to get the most airplay as it also serves as a ‘duet’ with Justin Timber-
lake. I am sure that committed MJ fans will have their preferences as to the demo and newly produced versions—they run one after another in sequence—while the title track Xscape is yet another swipe at the leering press and omnipresent paparazzi with its desperate lyrics “I can’t take this garbage anymore.” And, ultimately, MJ found his escape which to my ears makes these types of posthumous releases mostly for fans only.

Hospital auxiliaries to KGH Foundation: ‘Together We Save Lives’ The KGH Foundation has four hospital auxiliaries that they are proud to have under their umbrella: Kelowna Hospital Auxiliary, Peachland Auxiliary, Rutland Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store and Winfield Hospital Auxiliary. These groups of enterprising members and non-member volunteers, operate many different business enterprises that raise funds for the sole purpose of assisting in the purchase of medical equipment for the ongoing care and comfort of the patients of KGH. KHA, being the largest in number of members and volunteers, operates the hospital Centennial Mercantile (gift shop), the Royal Bistro (deli) and the Perking Lot (coffee bar). They also have an engraving business which does signage for UBCO, many local service groups and for many departments at KGH. Volunteers ages range between 14 and 95. A strong Youth Pro-
gram is a tremendous asset to the operations and has been a catalyst for many students to garner work experience, hours toward graduation, scholarship opportunities as well as entrance to post-secondary programs. The more senior volunteers offer strong mentorship to these youth and are very committed to the services they offer to the staff, patients and visitors to KGH. As well they have an opportunity to make long lasting friendships and simply have fun working toward a common goal. In the past years this Auxiliary has raised over $10 million. The Rutland Hospital Auxiliary operates the Rutland Thrift Store and this past year celebrated 50 years of operation and has raised over $3.5 million. Many of the volun-
teers and members have been there for years but, as in any organization, new volunteers are always required to keep business operating at full tilt. Students are encouraged to volunteer and as well are able to start at a very early age. The Thrift Store offers items from every day clothing and housewares to valuable collectibles. Again all the revenue, after expenses, is used to help save lives. Winfield Auxiliary is a group of enterprising women with 58 years of service under their belts. Their fund raising efforts are predominantly fuelled by catering and special events that they hold each year. Peachland Auxiliary is a wonderful group of individuals who bake and cater to large events every
year and again make a strong impact on the medical equipment purchases at KGH. It’s truly remarkable how these groups together make it possible every day to help save lives at KGH. Not only are they involved in raising funds toward the purchase of medical equipment but they supply many deserving students, moving forward in the human medical field, an opportunity to apply for scholarships through the COBBS program offered at their high schools. These amazing organizations only survive by increasing their membership which in turn helps to ensure that the hospital auxiliary legacy does not end and the business venues that are the main source of driving revenue can only do what they do by adding to their volunteer rosters. Nancy E. Wells is the business enterprises manager for the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES KGH Auxiliary: The Perking Lot, The Royal Bistro, The Centennial Mercantile Gift Shop— cashiers, food service, baristas, retail cashiers, gift shop buyers and receivers, cash reconcilers, schedulers. Rutland Auxiliary: The Rutland Thrift Store—cashiers, sorters, epartment managers, schedulers. Winfield Auxiliary: New members—food preparation and servers for thriving catering business. Peachland Auxiliary: New members—food preparation and servers for thriving catering business. Cottonwoods Gift Shop—cashiers, schedulers, buyers. Interested parties please contact Nancy E.

NEWS ▼ FINANCE
Little known facts about limits to RRSPs
R
RSPs were initially developed to create a personal tax deduction in the current year and defer taxes on the amount until a future year when it is assumed that the taxable income will be lower. For example if a person made $105,000 which attracts 40.70% combined federal and provincial tax (at 2013 rates), that person could take out enough of an RRSP to reduce their combined federal and provincial taxable income to the next lowest tax bracket of 38.29%, saving themselves 2.41% or more of tax in the current year. They would need to take out at least $5,000 in an RRSP and would have saved about $120.50 in taxes. Then in a later year, if the $5,000 was withdrawn and the total taxable income was less than $36,000, the tax on that $5,000 would be at 20.06% instead of the 40.70% (providing that the personal tax rates remain the same) which is an overall tax savings of 23.05%.
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka In order to stop people from contributing exorbitant amounts to RRSPs to save taxes, an annual deduction limit was introduced. This limit is a complicated calculation but for the most part works out to be about 18% of your qualifying annual earned income. It’s cumulative in that if you didn’t contribute to an RRSP in one year, you can still use that contribution room in a following year. On your notice of assessment, usually at the bottom of page 2, is where you can find the details of your RRSP deduction limit. It is important to note that line (A) is the maximum that you can deduct. Sometimes there is an amount in line (B) which means that you have
over-contributed to your RRSP but have not deducted the amount from your taxes because it was over the deduction limit, or an adjustment might have been done to your tax return resulting in reducing the deduction limit. Many people misread this line and think that they can contribute this amount to their RRSP and end up with a growing over-contribution amount until someone realizes what has happened. When you turn 71 you will be required to roll your RRSP into a RRIF and at this time you stop collecting deduction room and your deduction limit may even be zero. Now if you have overcontributed you have about two years to be able to take advantage of the overc-contribution on your tax return. If you don’t take advantage within those two years and don’t have any deduction room, you may loose the benefit of that tax deduction. What happens in effect is that you didn’t get the tax deduction when you made the ori-

ginal contribution and then when you are withdrawing out of your RRIF you are taxed on that, so you end up paying double the tax. Not only that, but if you have over-contributed by more than $2,000 you could be subject to interest on the amount you over-contributed. The tax on overcontributions is one per cent per month on the amount that exceeds the $2,000. There is an exception to this if the over-contribution occurred between 1991 and Feb. 26, 1995, when the excess limit was $8,000. As long as you never contributed after that, then the old rules kick in and you may not need to pay the interest. So you need to take a look at your Notice of Assessment and find the Deduction Limit Statement and check to make sure that there is no balance in line (B). If there is, and you have contribution room you can contact the institution that manages your RRSP and take that money out. They will automatically deduct a minimum of 10% tax from
the amount and issue you a T4RSP slip which will then be offset by this overcontribution amount on your tax return and you end up not paying any tax on that withdrawal. Another alternative is to have the institution fill out form T3012A which will allow you to withdraw the amount without having the tax withheld at source. Alternatively, after the two-year window and if your RRSP has been rolled into a RRIF, you can fill out form T746 Calculating Your Deduction for Refund of Unused RRSP Contributions to have any excess contributions taken as a deduction up to the limit shown in Box 20 or 22 of the T4RSP slip or box 24 of the T4RIF slip. Make sure that you bring this to your accountant’s attention when you are filing your next tax return. You may even be able to submit a T1 Adjustment for the taxes just filed.

municipal hall to be built at 3641 Elliott Rd.
▼ WEST KELOWNA
Residents will decide on borrowing to build Site from A3
West Kelowna residents will have an opportunity to vote whether or not they support the district borrowing funds to complete the project, either through an alternate approval process before the November municipal election or a referendum in conjunction with the election. The conceptual design proposal presented for 3641 Elliott Rd. calls for a two-phased approach. The first phase includes a 24,015-square-foot municipal hall, with an option to include 7,000 square feet of expansion or lease space. There will also be a residential building, public plaza, office building and café plaza owned by the developer. The development will include underground and above ground parking. The second phase—to be built when the market justifies it—will include a second residential building. Findlater said the creation of a new municipal hall will open up much-needed community space currently being taken up by district staff at the Mount Boucherie Community Centre location. “We’ve heard all along about the loss of this space…that was only magnified by the Lions Hall space being (damaged). “We are very glad to be at a point where we know where we want our civic centre to be and are seeing the vision of this project come to life.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

anner Recreation and Marine, located at 819 McCurdy Place in Kelowna, is the Okanagan dealership for the Can-Am Spyder Touring Vehicle. This roadster is a three-wheeler and offers total comfort and luxury, equipped even with a luggage compartment with matching luggage on some models. The vehicles are made by Bombardier in Quebec and licensing is the same as a motorcycle. These units have anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, semi-auto transmission, power steering, reverse and cruise control. It’s a super looking vehicle, easy to get on and off of. I rode with Derek Bannister, owner/operator of Banner Recreation and Marine, as a passenger in the Prostate Ride for Dads last Sunday and what an incredible experience. His dealership was a major sponsor of that event. The ride was very smooth, extremely stable, stylist, street savvy and comfortable. Stuart Gillies is the sales manager and Spyder specialist for Banner. I also received the full-meal deal tour from Gillies before the ride. Except for a roof over your head; it has all the luxuries of a closedin vehicle. There are several models and colours
to choose from and you can even order a colour matched fibreglass trailer for more cargo space. Banner also offers riding gear and helmets. The Prostate Ride for Dad’s had 500 motorcycle participants and raised a whopping $32,000. Dragon Cards, Games & Collectibles, owned and operated by Randal Peterson at 15-1771 Cooper Rd. in Kelowna, celebrates 20 years in business this month. Peterson originally opened his store in Westbank and then moved to Kelowna in 1997, located initially on Burtch Road before moving to the present location then to their current location at the corner of Cooper and Enterprise in 2000. Dragon sells board games, card games, role playing games, war games, action figures, model kits, die cast cars, puzzles, comic books, trading cards, gifts and collectibles. The store hosts weekly tournaments and holds special events like International Board Game Day. Call 250860-1770; email dragoncards@shaw.ca. Entrepreneur Buck LaRoche, owner of Auto Trim Line Detail & Signs, just does not stop growing his business. Located at 264 Leon Ave. in Kelowna’s downtown core, LaRoche now has added a scooter rental business called Downtown Scooterz. These scooters only require a regular class 5 driver’s license with no need for a class 6 motorcycle license. The vehicles are a great way to sightsee through the Abbott Street corridor just a

West Kelowna council has decided where the district’s new municipal hall will be built. Mayor Doug Findlater announced Tuesday 3641 Elliott Rd. was chosen as the site for the estimated $8.9 million municipal hall/civic centre. The district will now enter into negotiations for a possible contract with New Town/Sturgess Group regarding its proposed development at the site. West Kelowna shortlisted four potential locations for the new municipal hall in January. “The response we received from the four proponents was exceptional,” said Findlater. “The process itself has resulted in an excellent option for the development of

If you see a fawn planted in your flowers, leave it be, the Conservation Officer Services says. “The best advice we have is to leave those fawns alone,” said Mike Badry, wildlife conflict manager for the provincial Ministry of Environment. Every spring people attempt to intervene when a fawn is found alone, but it’s unprotected position is often by design, according to Badry. The doe will plant her fawns in a single spot for up to 24 hours and leave them, seemingly unattended and close to people, while off foraging

a municipal hall.” The mayor said cost, risk, design and location were key considerations that led council to its decision. He compared the $8.9 million price tag to the $8.2 million RCMP detachment on Dobbin Road. “That puts it in a scale that I think people can understand. “The RCMP building did not break the bank for West Kelowna. It’s been quite affordable and we found very creative ways to cover the cost of that debt we had to take on.” The district anticipates the cost to build the municipal hall can be covered through the municipality’s current budget without any additional tax burden on residents over what is the current 10-year financial plan. West Kelowna is also
for food. Placing them in close proximity to human beings may very well be the intent because civilization tends to ward off aggressive male deer; it’s a pattern the conservation officers have seen with bears as well. With the rapid growth of the urban deer population in the Central Okanagan several incidents of fawns being picked up by area residents have been in the news this spring. “We encourage people to leave them for at least 24 hours,” said Badry, noting it is important to watch the small creature to see if the mother is returning to tend to it during the intervening time.

Lake Country art wall prompts discussion Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
They were expecting a penis. Discussions started about how it could be incorporated into another image, worked on the wall without bastardizing the open forum concept of the space erected on the lawn out front of the Lake Country Art Gallery specifically to give the community a space to graffiti, to create public art. “I love the discussion of what art is as a professional artist,” said Wanda Lock, an Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design grad who ran the local Opus store for over a decade. Lock sits on the Lake Country Public Art Commission and spearheaded the initiative to establish an art wall after graffiti artists started having a “very beautiful and honest” discussion on the town’s Petro-Canada gas station wall. Illegal though it was, the text and art went back and forth, images abutting each other overnight until the town provided an art-

her paint froze, but she stood out there in a spare moment, making time, not caring who might see. Lock admits she tried to do her effort quietly, hoping people wouldn’t see her and assume it’s her wall, thus deterring their own efforts. She added pop and rock stars, then put tear-away tabs with song lyrics those attracted to the ’80s and ’90s-era artists might find fun. Neither artist can explain why the wall they
openly invite anyone and everyone to add to has remained such a clean creative space. “It’s something I have been thinking about a lot,” said Lock. “Is it because it’s been dictated as art that it automatically has rules attached to it even though I’m trying to break down those rules and get people to just add to it?” So successful has the effort been, the public art commission is considering adding another fourby-six piece of plywood to double the size of the space. Raw, visceral and about as real as it gets, the wall definitely attracts the gaze of passersby, even on the relatively quiet rural road where it sits. The lyrics of the Alanis Morissette song Hand In My Pocket she has scribed on one of her tear-away strips sum it all up: “I’m green but I’m wise,” it reads.

Residents will decide Lions Club looks to the on borrowing to build public for funds to upgrade hall ▼ SERVICE CLUB
Hall from A3
West Kelowna residents will have an opportunity to vote whether or not they support the district borrowing funds to complete the project, either through an alternate approval process before the November municipal election or a referendum in conjunction with the election. The conceptual design proposal presented for 3641 Elliott Rd. calls for a two-phased approach. The first phase includes a 24,015-square-
foot municipal hall, with an option to include 7,000 square feet of expansion or lease space. There will also be a residential building, public plaza, office building and café plaza owned by the developer. The development will include underground and above ground parking. The second phase— to be built when the market justifies it—will include a second residential building. Findlater said the creation of a new municipal hall will open up much-needed commun-
ity space currently being taken up by district staff at the Mount Boucherie Community Centre location. “We’ve heard all along about the loss of this space…that was only magnified by the Lions Hall space being (damaged). “We are very glad to be at a point where we know where we want our civic centre to be and are seeing the vision of this project come to life.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

The Westbank Lions Club is looking for the public’s help to pay for much-needed community centre upgrades not covered by insurance. The club has indicated nearly 20 desired improvements, including: Installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, replacing all lights on the main floor, replacing flooring on main floor, installing a security system and improving the washroom facilities.
The estimated cost of the upgrades is $400,000. “The insurance is paying for anything that was destroyed, but it doesn’t pay for any upgrades… there are things in the hall that need to be upgraded,” said Ken Watson, director on the board for the hall. Those interested in contributing funds toward the upgrades have several options. Funds can be deposited directly to: Westbank Lions’ Community Development Society account at CIBC, 2121 Louie Drive, Westbank.
Cheques can be mailed to: Westbank Lions’ Community Development Society at #1-2466 Main Street, Westbank BC, V4T 1Z1. Money can also be mailed to, or dropped off at: Westbank Lions’ Hall Fundraising Campaign c/o The UPS Store at 22-2475 Dobbin Rd., Suite 333, West Kelowna, BC V4T 2E9. The club asks cheques be made payable to WLCDS Hall Fundraising. Sponsorship opportunities may also be available. If interested, contact
Jack Lucas, jonlucas@telus.net, or Malcolm Sutherland, malsutherland@ shaw.ca, for further information. Westbank Lions Community Centre was extensively damaged by fire last September; Kerry Robert Cooper pleaded guilty last month to an arson charge related to the blaze. The hall is expected to re-open in September. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade
