With FortisBC roughly one-third of the way through its planned upgrade to an advanced metering system in Kelowna to measure electricity use, more and more residents are standing up to question the process.

The company maintains the upgrade is necessary to get in line with federal standards and is better for its customers while at the same time, a Kelowna group against the smart meters continues to gain members and momentum. One Kelowna family even prepares to go off the electricity grid completely.

Reporter Kevin Parnell talked to FortisBC and some people opposed to the new meters.

As FortisBC continues to move forward with a plan to replace its aging analog meters with advanced meters to measure its customer’s energy consumption, a growing number of people are raising concern about the use of the meters.

To date FortisBC has exchanged about 22,000 of a planned 60,000 meters in Kelowna, replacing the old analog units with new advanced meters that have the capability of transmitting billing information to FortisBC using wireless technology.

While the company says it will make for more accurate readings and allow customers to better monitor their energy consumption, the radiofrequency radiation the units emit is at least part of the issue for people who say they don’t want a smart meter on their house.

Known as RF, radiofrequency radiation emitted by smart meters is the same signal that a cell phone puts out when in use. According to Health Canada, the difference is the amount of RF radiation in smart meters is several times below that of exposure from cell phones and well below existing Health Canada limits for exposure to the public.

There are other issues as well with smart meters. A similar program in Saskatchewan was cancelled by the government in that province after eight fires were found to be started in smart meters. And while the maker of the

FortisBC advanced meter (Itron) is different from the manufacturer of the Saskatchewan meter, it’s not stopping people from standing up to voice their concern.

FortisBC and other utilities that have moved to smart meters say the technology is safe and the advanced meters are needed to fully meet with standards laid out by the federal government body Measurement Canada.

I feel very manipulated.

The whole planet is being forced to be put on this smart meter grid. Who is benefiting off this move?”

Sebastian Latour As the program moves through the FortisBC customer base in the Okanagan, a Kelowna group is joining forces to try and educate people while at least one Kelowna family is considering going off the electricity grid completely.

••• When Kelowna arborist and glass blower Sebastien Latour drops his two kids off at their Kelowna school he usually leaves them with something to think about.

A tradesman and a farmer, Latour is trying to instill an inquisitive nature in his children, wanting them to question things they are told.

“I tell them to question everything including what I just said,” said Latour. “I don’t want to raise guinea pigs. I want my kids to have critical thinking skills. I want my kids to be able to think

and not just accept the information they are given. This is a corporate world and we have to question things.”

That critical thinking forms the basis of Latour’s opposition to a move to smart meters. He questions their safety, the reasoning for them and who is really benefiting financially from the change.

So, while many residents in Black Mountain have already had FortisBC smart meters installed on their homes, Latour says he won’t be one of them. He has informed FortisBC he does not want the smart meter and he’s taking steps to be prepared to cut off his electricity entirely if the company goes ahead with its plan to install it.

“I think outside the box and I always have,” he said. “We’ve told Fortis we are not interested in the meter. We don’t want it connected to our home. We’ve told them if it comes to that we want to cancel our services. I feel very manipulated.

The whole planet is being forced to be put on this smart meter grid. Who is benefiting off this move?”

According to FortisBC, the move to the smart meters is necessary to meet new accuracy guidelines enforced by Measurement Canada which approves the meters. Meter readers will no longer be used and bills won’t be estimated as they were in the old system, improving the accuracy and specific energy use readings for customers.

“Customers can see in real time how much electricity they are using

Measuring the opposition to smart meters

Kelowna Smart Meters organizer Rozjael Young says people can take steps to avoid having a smart meter put on their home. The group is holding information sessions in Kelowna the next three Thursdays at the Lutheran Church.

so we are hoping they can get an understanding of how much they are using and when. We hope they will be empowered to make better choices,” said David Wylie, FortisBC corporate communications adviser.

“We went through a public process with the B.C. Utilities Commission.

Any customers who do have concerns about the meters can choose the radio-off option.”

But tell that to Sebastien Latour and he doesn’t accept it. He feels strongly enough that he is preparing his family to live without the use of electricity.

This winter Latour has installed a wood stove for heat and is replacing his oven range with a propane powered unit.

For hot water, he plans an on-demand system also heated by propane and has replaced lights in the house with LED lights that will be run from a bank of

eight solar panels he will purchase.

“We’re looking at all kinds of alternative energy,” he said. “’I’ve got no other choice.

People are not thinking as much as they need to. Take some time to do some research and don’t blindly accept what you are told.”

••• When smart meters first came into the public eye and were being installed in Vancouver a number of years ago, UBC professor John Pinelli was used to fielding calls on the topic. As the head of cancer control at the B.C. Cancer Agency, Pinelli has been involved in several studies on the topic of radiofrequency radiation. Currently there is a large study underway on cell phones and the risk of brain tumours specifically in adolescents and youth.

The number of questions he was getting

prompted him, along with provincial health officer Mary McBride and a group of other health experts, to prepare a statement on smart meters and the risks of cancer. The statement outlined several studies to date that have been done on the use of cell phones and the possibility they cause cancer and how smart meters fit into the equation. A 2011 study done by the International Agency for Research on Cancer said while there was little direct human data on those with more than 20 years of cell phone use, there was no evidence cell phone use causes brain tumours.

The report also concluded that, “although there remains some uncertainty, the trend in the accumulating evidence was increasingly against the hypothesis that (RF radiation from) mobile phone use can cause brain tumours in

adults.”

In an interview with the Kelowna Capital News on Thursday, Pinelli said the fact smart meters emit a much lower signal than cell phones means the current evidence suggests there are no health concerns.

“It makes sense people are concerned but I would try to reassure people that the evidence suggests that (smart meters) just don’t have any adverse effects,” said Pinelli.

“Cell phones are the really worrisome ones.

There are a lot of people looking at the (cell phone) question because we think it’s really important.

The smart meter output is low and intermittent and there is really no evidence it would have any health affects.”

Fog delays trial in Bacon murder case Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Low lying fog in

Kelowna delayed an inperson court appearance of the three men charged with the 2011 murder of

gangster Jonathan Bacon.

Jones were scheduled for a court appearance Wednesday morning, but transport from their respective holding areas was stymied by Mother Nature.

Fog delayed or cancelled a number of flights in and out of the Kelowna airport during various points over the week, according to airport communications person Jenelle Hynes, noting that it’s a seasonal issue connected to changing weather.

It meant both the accused and their lawyers were unable to attend an application made by defence. It will wait until March 25.

Despite the no-shows, there was still much ado at the local courthouse.

The appearance of the three men warranted a hike in security.

Those who intended to attend proceedings were asked to submit to a scan of their purses and pockets, and a brief wanding—a practice

rarely used. It’s likely to remain the standard when the three accused start their six-month trial, which is scheduled for April of 2016.

Bacon, who was the leader of the Lower Mainland based Red Scorpions gang, was shot dead Aug. 14, 2011, outside the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna.

Hells Angel Larry Amero and Independent Soldier James Riach were also believed to be in the car.

Another passenger, Leah Hadden-Watts, had her spinal column severed by a bullet. She now has paralysis in both her legs, most of her upper torso and partial paralysis of both arms and hands.

Hadden-Watts has filed a civil suit against the trio facing criminal charges as well as the companies that operate the Delta Grand hotel and the nearby casino.

Frank Pohland, of CTQ Consultants, shows Rutland residents Mike Koutsantinis and Joe Iafrancesco details of a master plan drawn up for Rutland Centennial Park by the city Wednesday. The city recently acquired the park and plans to improve it with facilities such as a grass soccer field, lit basketball court, gardens, trails and a stage. The first phase will cost $400,000 and include the soccer field. But several of those on hand at the open house were upset with the plan saying it did not include what they felt was promised. Both Iafrancesco and long-time area resident Al Horning said they believed an all-weather turf field was going in. But the city’s Terry Barton said that was never envisioned because of cost and the fact it is a community park not a sports facility. Others questioned the timing of the multi-year, multi-phase improvement plan, saying they did not want to see it stretched out over many years.

MacLaughlin then drove to Washington from Kelowna, continuing threats along the way.

Police intervened, at the behest of Playfair, but MacLaughlin kept trying to make contact from the hotel room she’d rented.

MacLaughlin was told again that she needed to leave, and if she contacted Playfair she would be arrested. She didn’t listen and was taken into custody.

Playfair is the son of NHL player and coach Jim Playfair.

MacLaughlin no longer resides in Kelowna.

City work crews are out pruning trees, some Kelowna residents have been donning flip flops and tulips are pushing their way out of the ground.

All the signs of spring have sprung, but February hasn’t even ended.

“So far temperatures are well above what we normally see for February,” said Lisa Coldwells, a meteor ologist with Environment Canada.

“The reason for that is a broad scale upper ridge sitting over B.C.” That upper ridge works like an umbrella for the Southern Interior, she explained. It’s pushing up warmer temperatures from the southern part of the province while shielding the region from weather across the mountain ridges that separate us from Alberta.

It’s meant that Kelowna has had record-breaking

temperatures. On Feb. 6 the temperature was 11.6 C, which broke a record of 5.7 C set on the same day in 2009. On Feb. 8 the mercury rose to 12.1 C and broke the record of 8.6 C set that day in 1998. On Feb. 11, temperatures peaked at 9.2 C and that broke the old record of 7.6 C set in 1998.

Then things got really steamy. On Valentine’s Day the high was 13.2 C, breaking a 9 C record set in 2003. On Feb. 15 temperatures came in at 10.7 C, breaking a record of 9.7 set in 1994.

While she wasn’t willing to predict further record-breaking weather in the days ahead, Coldwells did say the upper ridge is expected to stay over the region for another six days.

Then the upper ridge is expected to shift to the west, which will allow colder air from Alberta to seep through mountain passes and get into the area.

“We’re not talking about minus 25 C weather, but it’s back to normal highs of around 4 C,” she said, noting that we’re running at three to four degrees warmer than usual.

All in all, the wonky weather has had a slightly melting effect on the activity at the Stuart Park Ice rink.

Rising temperatures and sunny skies in the forecast indicate the outdoor rink could close next week.

“Crews have been doing their best to maintain the ice, but the warm weather makes it a challenge,” said Steve Fagan, arenas and stadiums supervisor.

“There’s no set closure date for the rink as we’re trying to keep it open for as long as possible, but I anticipate this will be the earliest closure in the past four years.”

That said, Kevin Laflamme, the owner of Bladez Skate Shop, said the year’s been pretty

good, overall.

“We’ve had lots of visitors from around the world this year,” he said.

Of particular note, he saw a number of Aussies and Germans come by.

The downside of the year, he said, was February. Between the excess snowfall and freezing temperatures skaters were fewer and farther between.

While bad weather had a downward effect on business, Laflamme is eager for next year and expects better business.

With phase two of Stuart Park set to be complete by next winter, Laflamme will grow his operation. Not only will he have skates and helmets for rent, he’ll also offer blade sharpening in a trailer that’s fourfeet longer than what he currently uses.

“We’ll be the only ones in the area who are sharpening skates,” he said. “It should make a big difference with business.”

City in Action CounCil HigHligHts lady of the lake & Kelowna’s Princess Council received a report from the Lady of the Lake & Kelowna’s Princess on their activities in 2014. Highlights included visits to sister city Kasugai, Japan, local and international pageants and parades, as well as local charity fund raising and community events.

Council received information about Heritage Week 2015, running Feb. 16-22.

The theme for this year’s Heritage Week is “Main Street, at the heart of the community.”

Heritage grants

Council received information on the City of Kelowna Heritage Grants Program administered by the Central Okanagan Heritage Society. The program recognizes the importance of protecting the community’s heritage and the costs associated with doing so. Each year the City provides $35,000, eligible to building exterior foundation (stabilization) work for any property listed on the Kelowna Heritage Register.

KELOWNA COURT

Life in prison possibility for rapist Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

The man who pleaded guilty to confining, beating and raping a Penticton woman as her toddler sat by her side could go to prison for life.

Crown prosecutors are in a Kelowna courtroom this week, presenting arguments to B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers on whether or not David Wesley Bobbitt, 39, should be labeled a dangerous offender. It’s a designation that could see him sent away for an indeterminate prison sentence.

As the diminutive and balding man sat in the prisoner’s box staring at his feet, Crown counsel Deb Drissell explained that Bobbit’s crimes, subsequent psychological evaluations and allegations of previous sexual violence met the bar set for the classification.

His offenses alone were so brutal, she said, it indicated that future behaviour is unlikely to be inhibited by standard restraints and he will likely harm others if given the opportunity.

Highlighting that brutality, Drissell revisited the events of July 30, 2011.

A young Penticton mother went to Bobbitt’s store to look for a trundle bed for her 22 month old

son.

As she was leaving, Bobbitt knocked her down with a hammerblow to the head.

Then, over the course of 15 hours she was imprisoned, he continued to hit her with the hammer, burnt her with cigarettes, bit her and violently sexually assaulted her while threatening to turn on her child.

“She remained quiet, “Drissell told the court.

“She did not want to give him an excuse to turn his attention to her son.”

Reading from the woman’s victim impact statement, Drissell added that she expected that she and her son would die from the attack, and with that belief in mind she removed his diaper and tried to console him, so he’d at least be comfortable during their last few hours.

If it weren’t for the intervention of her family, who found her after a lengthy search, that may have been her fate, said Drissell. There’s medical evidence supporting the idea that she could have died from the wounds incurred, having lost significant amounts of blood and suffering gashes that cut to her skull.

In addition to the nature of Bobbitt’s violence, there’s also the issue of remorse, which he’s never expressed.

That, Drissell said, is unusual.

From the moment he was imprisoned, Bobbitt failed to show any regard for his victim or the crimes he later pleaded guilty to.

When an undercover police officer entered the cell with Bobbitt, he was immediately put ill at ease.

Bobbitt threatened to kill him by biting out his adam’s apple, then later shared details about how he’d been violent from a young age. He also laughed about the crime he’d been arrested for, noting that his victim “was a tough bitch.”

In subsequent psychological assessments, Bobbitt went so far as to blame his victim for the amount of force he levied.

While Drissell argued that brutality and lack of remorse paint a damning enough picture of Bobbitt, there is also the matter of allegations that precede the current charge.

Crown counsel Nashina Devji argued that Bobbitt raped and beat his then girlfriend in 2007.

During what seemed like a trial within a sentencing hearing, Devji said that there was ample corroborated evidence to support the claim that the alleged victim, whose name is protected by a publication ban, was assaulted violently.

The alleged victim told

police she’d been violently woken up by Bobbitt in a bed they shared, then sexually assaulted and beaten, but no charge was ever laid.

After a brief courtship, the two moved in together and at that time Bobbitt was loving and kind, Devji told the court.

That changed suddenly one night when Bobbitt woke her up, ranting that she’d had sex with an ex.

The woman denied the relationship, but Bobbitt’s anger ramped up.

He jumped on her chest, and then proceeded to strangle, smother and rape her.

She eventually left, with her dogs in tow, and told a cashier at a nearby restaurant that she’d been raped, and to call 911.

The cashier was called upon by the court previously and remembered seeing the alleged victim that day, and her words.

She said that a man came along, and the alleged victim settled for a cab to a friend’s. She later went to the hospital and a doctor who examined her found evidence of forced penetration and bruising on her neck.

When police investigated they found blood in the trailer and buttons that had been ripped from her shirt in

The Governance and Services Committee will hold preliminary budget review meetings on Wednesday, February 25th and Thursday, March 12th to consider the five-year Financial Plan. Both meetings are open to the public in the Woodhaven Board Room, 1450 KLO Road in Kelowna.

In accordance with the Local Government Act, the Regional Board will hold a Special Public Budget meeting on Friday, March 27th, 2015 at 9:00 am for consideration and final adoption of the 2015 – 2019 Financial Plan.

“We’re trying to say wake up, shake your head, this is harmful,” said Rozjael Young, one of the organizers of the group.

“There are people concerned for different reasons: Health, safety, costs. I think we need to stand up as individuals and get educated. Open your mind. We need to stand up so we can continue to make choices for ourselves.”

The group will meet at the Lutheran Church in Kelowna Feb. 26, March 5 and 12 at 7 p.m.

MAR JOK ELEMENTARY

New West Kelowna school opens It was doublehappiness at Mar Jok Elementary school today, as students and staff, along with representatives from the Central Okanagan board of education and the District of West Kelowna, celebrated the official opening of their school on the first day of the Chinese New Year.

The ceremony commenced with a traditional greeting by the West Bank First Nation and was followed by a choir performance and a dragon dance by students. The family of Mr. Jok Mar, whom the school is named after, also attended this special occasion.

“Mar Jok Elementary is a great facility created with the support of the Ministry of Education, our board of education, the District of West Kelowna, and with input from our community stakeholders,” said Moyra

Moyra Baxter

Baxter, chairwoman of the Central Okanagan School District.

“The school is designed to support the ever changing delivery of education in our school district. This modern facility, with its open classrooms and Neighbourhood Learning Centre will serve the community of West Kelowna for decades to come.”

The new $14-million Mar Jok Elementary can accommodate up to 460 kindergarten to grade six students.

The school features

lots of open spaces and B.C. wood, and it is built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standards. It is also part of a joint-development with the District of West Kelowna, which created a community park including a full-sized sports field in West Kelowna.

The Rosewood Sports Field, adjacent to the school, is available to students during school hours; the field is open to the public outside of school hours and it hosts various sports events.

Mar Jok Elementary is also home to a Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC), which consists of a 500-metre space expansion to the school gymnasium.

The NLC offers a wide range of programs to children and families through the District of West Kelowna, including dance and sports activities for children and various

fitness and recreational programs for residents.

In addition to Mar Jok Elementary, the province also committed $15 million for additions to Okanagan Mission Secondary.

The additions will be completed this spring and will consist of 300 additional spaces for students as well as space for a Neighbourhood Learning Centre.

“Mar Jok Elementary is an excellent example of our vision for schools in B.C,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender.

Not only does it support 21st century learning, collaboration and flexibility for students, it also offers various programs to the whole community.

Congratulations to students, parents, the Central Okanagan board of education and the District of West Kelowna on the opening of this beautiful school.”

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers.

Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).

to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%.

This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

In my practice, I see back, neck, and shoulder pain, lower back and sciatic pain, and post-surgical pain. It’s been there for months to years and many therapies have failed to relieve it because most therapies work best on recent injuries.

Opinion

Baker asks for careful consideration To the editor: With less than one week left before the close of the CN Rail Corridor Alternative Approval Process (AAP) I encourage all Lake Country residents to carefully consider the impact of this decision on our community today, and in the future.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Acquisition of the CN Rail Corridor is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide our community with a real legacy that is much more than a transportation corridor or hiking trail—it’s a public land asset that will benefit our children and their children.

The participation of multiple government partners means that our community will gain land and future infrastructure that we could not achieve on our own.

Borrowing for the corridor

acquisition means that current municipal infrastructure plans remain in place with no change or reprioritization of budget allocations for things like water,roadways and pedestrian safety. We build roads and sidewalks every year and those programs are not affected by this borrowing plan. The timing of this opportunity is beyond our control, so we can only control whether we seize it.

Some people may ask if we can afford the cost, but the real question to me is can we afford not to?

Lake Country is one of the fastest growing regions in the area, as are the adjacent communities and we need to plan proactively to manage this growth. With the potential for a return on investment to increase our tax base, enhance existing businesses, encourage the growth of small businesses and increase the livability of Lake Country, this corridor will be a tremendous asset for taxpayers today and for generations to come.

Dementia remains under-diagnosed We have known for some time that dementia is under-recognized Healing Minds in most places around the world.

A recent study published in Neurology examined a group PAUL of 845 seniors 70 years or older LATIMER and found that 55 per cent of individuals with clear symptoms of cognitive decline had not had a formal evaluation of their cognitive function.

The authors extrapolated from these data to conclude that in the US nearly two million seniors with clinical dementia had not seen a physician about their memory problems.

In the UK last year, the same problem was recognized and led the government to introduce a controversial program in which general practitioners were to be paid for each diagnosis of dementia made. In that country, the National Health Service estimated that only about half as many people with dementia had been diagnosed as should be based on population studies of the prevalence of this condition.

What is concerning about these findings is that dementia is a serious, life-changing condition

‘There is no Plan B’ RAIL CORRIDOR FROM A10 With Lake Country midway between Kelowna and Vernon it is well-positioned to benefit the most over the long run. The Okanagan is not just one community; one success is a success for all. Our residents benefit from an international airport, large farmers markets and the wine routes.

Lake Country needs to give people more reasons to choose to live, do business and visit, and the Okanagan corridor can play a fundamental role in enhancing the local business and lifestyle options.

There is no Plan B. If local governments are not successful in purchasing the corridor it could be sold off in parcels to private interests. This would mean losing control over 16 kilometres of prime, linear real estate in our community; much of it beautiful waterfront that our residents or visitors cannot access now, and most likely never would if sold privately.

We continue to be confident that senior levels of government will provide financial assistance which will make our dollars go further if we act now. These efforts reduce the demand on taxation and create lasting legacies for communities.

It is unprecedented for the City of Kelowna to offer to pay half of Lake Country’s overall commitment in order to make this as affordable to our citizens as possible.

There is no repayment schedule or obligation to purchase back. It is anticipated that through the sale of surplus lands Lake Country could buy back Kelowna’s interest without any impact on taxation.

Small groups of community advocates have made a huge difference in preserving corridors that are unquestioned assets in the valley today: the Beach Avenue boardwalk in Peachland was driven by Rotary contributions,the Mission Creek Greenway in Kelowna was driven by Friends of Mission Creek Society volunteers, the Myra Canyon trestles on the KVR were opened by Myra Canyon Trestle Restoration Society volunteers, the Gellatly Bay Waterfront walkway was driven by the volunteer Trail and Parks Society, and numerous recreational paths in Lake Country have been spearheaded by Walk Around Lake Country (WALC) volunteers.

Twenty years is a long time for a taxpayer, but not such a long time for a community.

The decision we make on this matter will say a lot about how individuals in Lake Country feel about investing in our community. I hope residents look forward with optimism for our future and support investment in this unprecedented opportunity.

Fear and stigma remain LATIMER FROM A10 dementia and these services are not usually included under regular or extended medical coverage.

Fear and stigma are also barriers for people concerned about the possibility of dementia.

Many people are afraid to ask the question because they don’t want to hear the answer or fear the possibility of losing their driver’s license or independence in other ways. Even doctors are sometimes reluctant to bring up the topic of dementia because they may feel ill equipped or as though there is little they

can do to help patients and their families.

Dementia is a progressive disease whose consequences are eventually unavoidable. It is easier to deal with those consequences— both individually and as a community—when we can do so in a gradual, progressive way rather than when suddenly faced with a crisis.

If you have concerns about your memory I encourage you to speak with your doctor.

Family using more power usage than AC/DC concert: How can that be?

To the editor: As a single dad on disability, I was dumbfounded and shocked at our latest Fortis bill. We live in a small townhouse.

We have no A/C, no washer/dryer, no freezer, no dishwasher, five of our seven light bulbs are 15 watt CFLs, and the other two are 3-foot fluorescent 40 watt tubes.

We have a 60 watt TV, and a 75 watt laptop, I turned our hot water tank to as low as it will go (100 F), and we use a toaster oven for cooking.

We have two, six-foot baseboard heaters, plus one, three-foot baseboard heater.

Last winter, after this stupid two-tier billing system came into effect, we did not use our heat all last winter, and wore sweaters and jackets indoors to keep warm. Even with all the power-saving measures we took last winter, our monthly Kwh usage was almost 90 Kwh/day.

This is the equivalent to running 900, 100 watt bulbs 10 hours a day.

An AC/DC concert only uses 80 kWh. I have contacted Fortis numerous times to find how we could possibly be using this amount of electricity per day, but was given meaningless charts, and doublespeak which left me more confused as ever.

Our latest bill arrived a few days ago, and with rate increases, etc., our current bill for one month is just a few dollars shy of what we pay for rent. It is virtually impossible to get our bill at the first tier rate.

I have done a bit of research and most,

sore Feet?

if not all, other provinces in Canada with a two-tiered billing system, have provincial programs to assist low-income families with heating bills. I have contacted every MLA in our district, asking why B.C. does not offer such assistance, but have yet to receive a single reply.

I hear Fortis is selling our electricity to California for about .02 cents/Kwh, and is importing a bunch of coal-generated power from Alberta at about .02 cents/Kwh, and selling it back to us at a huge markup.

A recent letter to you was from a person who just had a smart meter installed, and his bill tripled to $1,700. As we are getting a smart meter installed soon, I am very worried that we will no longer be able to afford food.

I personally would never do this, but smart meters can be hacked by anyone with a laptop, an IR LED or wireless card, and a bit of knowledge, to make the meter read far less that actual use.

Maybe I should offer courses to show how to hack smart meters to earn extra money to pay these criminally high electricity rates?

Our future seems very bleak.

Tax break may save Fintry Queen The Fintry Queen has received a last minute break from the taxman that could help keep it afloat.

The a 326-passenger faux stern wheeler, which was a fixture on the downtown Kelowna lake shore for many years, has received an 11th hour tax credit allocation from the BC Investment Program.

Investors will now receive up to a 30 per cent B.C. tax credit to a maximum of $60,000 on their 2014 returns if they sign up before the March 1 2015 deadline.

“The Fintry Queen has finally met all the EBC criteria” said Andy Schwab, president of Okanagan Lake Boat Company Inc., owner of the historic vessel, “But we are quickly running out of time for the 2014 program which expires March 1st”.

The B.C. Investment Program was developed by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training to encourage investment in manufacturing, destination tourism, proprietary technologies, digital media and community diversification outside of the Lower Mainland and capital region. For the Fintry

Queen to qualify as an eligible business corporation, it had to demonstrate it will earn 50 per cent of gross revenues from tourists, operate at least 120 days a year, be located outside the Greater Vancouver Regegional District, Whistler or the Capital District, in addition to having moorage lease agreements in place with the City of Penticton.

“The plan is to raise $600,000 to renovate the ship and build the dock in Penticton” said Schwab.

“We’ve already started on the environmental permits to coincide with the dock design and engineering. With a little luck, we’ll be painting, building docks and sailing to Penticton before the end of the year, ready to open for 2016.”

The investors can purchase equity shares valued at $1 per share up to a maximum of 49 per cent of the total shares issued and must hold those shares for at least five years. The maximum allowable tax credit to any one investor is $60,000, which can all be used in the first year. The company will be engaged to redeem the shares on the fifth anniversary

of the investment at a value of $2 per share.

The investment, when combined with the 30% tax credit, yields an ROI (return on investment) of over 23%.

“Venture forums and angels are all about tech deals these days” said Schwab. “We’re lowtech, we’re all about history and romance and feeling good, about where you are and who you’re with, providing a memorable Okanagan experience that marks a time and place in your life”.

The original Okanagan Lake Boat Company was established in Naramata in 1897. An old trade poster circa 1912, on display in the Penticton Museum, shows a small passenger craft on the lake with the caption “Ferry Service Summerland - Naramata Penticton”. “Special Trips to All Points on the Lake for Commercial Travellers and Tourists.” “Telephone Connections”.

“We identified with the poster” said Schwab, who sees a future for public transportation on Okanagan Lake, linking the communities, parks, wineries and resorts along the shoreline, similar to

the historic paddlewheel services provided by the CNR and CPR from 1893 1972, which served more than 25 historic ports of call.

The Fintry Queen is the largest commercial passenger ship on Okanagan Lake, able to safely transport thousands of passengers annually in most weather conditions.

Originally built as the Lequime, a car ferry, in 1948, she carried passengers and vehicles across the lake year-round from the Westside to Kelowna before the days of the first Okanagan Lake Floating Bridge.

Designed to get close to shore, her bow boarding ramp permits loading and unloading without the need for extensive shore facilities.

In 1968 she was renamed the “Fintry Queen” to carry passengers to the new community development at Fintry Estates.

Over a 10 year period, from 1990 - 2000, the Fintry Queen averaged over 28,000 passengers each summer. But when Kelowna redid its waterfront, it said there was no room for the Fintry Queen anymore.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is

coming to KELOWNA, THURS. MARCH 5TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

1-800-254-3938 by MARCH 3RD

She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.

Although Chapman enjoys coming to this area, she is looking for someone to train to do the fittings or to buy her business.

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT resources and legislative change to bring about driver accountability, it feels like I’m beating a dead horse.

Most car crashes would not occur if drivers simply paid focused responsibility and attention to the task at hand. Yes, there are exceptions such as a darting deer but exceptions are few and far between. Motivating the masses of drivers to pay focused attention is the fix that has screamed out to me.

Others focus attention on road design, such as advance left turn signals at intersections. Then there’s seatbelts, air bags, crumple zones and other vehicle safety initiatives.

These initiatives create an environment that is more forgiving to inattentive driving. None of them go to the root of the problem.

None of the initiatives have a hope of putting a significant dent in the car crash epidemic.

I am becoming excited about technology that might do just that; technology that is available right now. It was a recent column in the Washington Post that my father forwarded to me that has really gotten my juices flowing.

The author, Matt McFarland, started with the following exciting notion: “Imagine for a second a world in which no driver ever gets rearended”.

We have been seeing more and more advertisements for vehicles with automatic breaking technology. The technology has seemed so fanciful that I had not seriously considered that it was real.

A quick Internet search this morning revealed successful testing of such technology back in the Fall, 2013, with a vehicle automatically braking

from 25 mph (40 kph) to stop in time before smashing into the back of a stopped vehicle.

That exact crash represents approximately 50 per cent of my ICBC injury claim practice, by the way. It’s astounding how often inattentive drivers smash into the back of stopped vehicles!

Technology is leaping forward. On Dec.22, 2014, Google unveiled a fully functioning prototype of a driverless car.

It is only a matter of time before the buying public will be able to choose more and more automated “assists” and, eventually, own cars that drive themselves.

The availability of these technologies has been profit motivated, with advertising seeking to create demand in the buying public. To date, though, the buying public has not been terribly motivated to put the extra bucks into their new car purchases.

Capitalism has worked so absolutely brilliantly to bring these technologies

to the consumer driving market. I say that it’s time for governments to step in to ensure that these technologies actually get on the road.

When we take into account that car crashes are costing British Columbians in the range of ten billion dollars per year (it was $8.8 billion as of a 2007 study), moving forward with initiatives to expedite the implementation of technology to reduce car crashes is good public policy.

We have mandated all sorts of other minimal vehicle standards such as seat belts and emissions.

When will our political leaders start mandating technologies that offer the first tangible opportunity in our history to make a dramatic improvement to road safety? Want to see more surplus budgets Want the cost of your liability insurance to be slashed?

Let’s do it.

grasp the Stanley Cup. Like the ‘little train that could’ I still ‘think they can’.

I have not yet given up the dream that some day it will be socially acceptable (and perhaps even popular and politically correct) to wear that Maple Leaf sweater hanging on the wall. However, I still also believe in elves and hobbits and dwarves...

Earlier this week there was a minor flash of hope for Leaf followers that perhaps the long overdue rebuild back to glory may have started. While he has done very little to actually improve things in his first year running the Leafs, new team guru Brendan Shanahan started trading away significant expensive players to the highest bidders last weekend.

Shanny shipped out two veteran players to Nashville for a late first one draft pick, a relatively unknown (so far) minor league youngster, and a journeyman forward whom Shanny will like flip to yet another team in further rebuilding moves.

A gazillion Leaf supporters are hoping it is the beginning of a major team purge that leads to a climb back up the ladder of hockey respectability.

In the perfect world Shanahan will eventually dump enough current key players and load up on draft picks and potential stars for the future while sinking the club to the bottom of the league standings this year. By doing so he would then earn one of the top draft picks next spring.

Snagging a coveted junior sensation such as Connor McDavid or even

American prospect Jack Eichel would give the Leafs a cornerstone of potential super-stardom to build a club around.

My hope is Toronto unloads (supposed) studs such as Phil Kessel or Dion Phaneuf to cellar-dweller teams such as Buffalo for their draft picks. Sadly the Sabres likely have their eye on McDavid as well, and will not take the Kessel bait.

In truth, the Maple Leafs could draft and trade for all the best players in the world, however until they get rid of Mr. Kessel I will never be able to cheer for the Leafs again.

Kessel remains one of the dirtiest players in the league, using his stick like a pitchfork, or hiding behind tough teammates after hacking and slashing opponents. My distain for Kessel as a player has only been exceeded by my disgust for former Canuck coach John Tortorella and red-neck racist commentator Don Cherry. Thankfully the Canucks gave Torts the boot and Cherry will soon be sent out the pasture for over the hill colour broadcasters.

But I digress.

The Maple Leafs have an opportunity between now and the March 1 trade deadline to significantly alter their future fortunes. I am not alone in my hopes that, like millions of other Canadians, in the near future I will be able to once again watch a Leaf game without a sense of foreboding growing in my gut before the puck is even dropped.

Water system upgrade A North Westside water utility could ultimately undergo some major improvements.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan has pumped $50,000 into a preliminary design for a Killiney Beach water system project.

If the project goes ahead, RDCO officials say it will lead to a more efficient operation of the system and improved service for 280 properties.

There is also the possibility that another

145 properties could eventually be served by the utility.

Designs will be considered for the removal of a lower elevation reservoir, increasing storage at an existing higher elevation reservoir and replacing pipe to help upgrade fire flows.

The expected price tag is $2 million and construction will depend on provincial and federal funding as Killiney Beach’s tax base is too small.

Aging: Loving later life Seniors’ Issues MARJORIE HORNE

of movement towards self-fufillment, emotional interdependence and communal contribution as they age, I too want to pick up the torch and find nurturance in this time of life through spiritual, meditative and contemplative practices. I do believe that there is a new way of aging that is sending out a call to shift our viewpoint of the later years of life that may carry with it a unique pleasure.

It is a pleasure that grows from an intensified consciousness of the preciousness of life, of time, and of other human beings.

When you begin to sense that you are reaching an ending, it creates new conditions of thoughtfulness, reflection, memory, and desire that are inaccessible to those oblivious to the passage of time.

This new sensitivity can add an enriching dimension to the meaning of one’s life.

It is not that we are not met with trials and tribulations, nor are we immune to fears, failures and frailties, but perhaps this changing mindset is a true illustration of the saying, “Living well is the best revenge.”

Come pick up the torch with me and explore the path to Grace Full Aging: Creating the Life You Want in a one day workshop to be held March 28. Call 250-8639577 for more details.

Thanks to the generosity of Black Press, 37 students from across BC will receive $5,000 to study business at the University of Victoria. That’s one student from every community Black Press serves.

willed himself into illness by dwelling on the fear that perhaps he might get cancer.

His mother had died of stomach cancer in her forties and left him having to become the caretaker of a sick father for many years until his eventual death at 94.

I often felt that he had held the loss of his mother very deeply within him, no permission really being given to him to properly grieve the loss of his very close relationship to her.

Each of his four girls watched as he seemed to create a self fulfilling prophecy of his fears, finally being diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 74.

I recently visited a new dear friend Audrey, who will be reaching the ripe age of 99 this year. She was showing me pictures of her recent trip down to New Orleans with her doting daughter for a family member’s 90th birthday. Listening to her account of the adventures she experienced with her charming way of drawing people to her like a bear to the honey pot, left me feeling in awe of her seemingly natural ability to connect with others.

Quiet and serene, she seems to be driven by this desire and it certainly is looking good on her, with a smile so radiant you can’t help but feel good in her presence.

She is the greatest example of lovin’ later life that I have seen, finding joy in each day and looking at each possibility to engage as a gift to see the cup of life as being half full and not half empty.

There is no walker in sight and she remains living actively in her own home, still cooking, with the loving eye of her daughter watching over her.

She continues to extend her warm nature out into the community through volunteering once a week at the hospital, something she has done for many years.

It brings her ongoing engagement with new people, the joy of companionship and an affirming sense of satisfaction that she continues to make a difference in people’s lives.

Finding this sense of GRACE in aging seems to require that we are willing to be Generous, Resilient, Accepting, Compassionate and maybe most importantly, willing to Engage.

As a budding boomer, I am part of the generation that loved to protest. To stand up and say that things could be different.

I suppose that coming into elderhood will also be a time of learning to create the life I really want, a quieter time of reflection, but definitely not one of moving to the sidelines.

Guided by the inspirational few of the generation before me that have forged a path

For many people in the later years, the sphere of relationships is continuously diminishing.

Various theories on disengagement suggest that this is the normal pattern of life for people as they retire.

The word “disengagement” itself suggests a withdrawal from active life. I remember when my father retired at the age of 55. It seemed early at the time, but he was convinced that he had had enough of the trials and tribulations of his job and was now ready to “take life easy.”

That he did. He had a number of hobbies and now had plenty of time to pursue them.

However, what I began to see was a gradual process of isolating himself away from the very active life he had led to one where there would be the passage of longer and longer periods of time when he was not out connecting with others.

He stopped engaging in new pursuits and opportunities that might be stressful or challenge him to take some risks.

Of course, with taking risks comes making mistakes, perhaps being rejected and it was as if he wanted to protect himself from the jarring emotions that sometimes one must face with that kind of engagement.

His world became smaller and smaller and as this was happening, he began to focus more and more on his health and the potential for becoming ill.

It was as if he almost

‘Feeling of pride’ Rockets’ offense finds new gear for Casorso WHL KELOWNA

Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOTTHEBREEZE

Head coach Dan Lambert doesn’t expect his Kelowna Rockets to hit double digits on the scoreboard every night.

But with 24 goals in the last three games, the WHL’s No. 1 team looks to be hitting full stride on offense.

The most encouraging aspect of the recent surge for the Rockets— who rang up an 11-4 win over Kamloops on Wednesday—is that goals are coming from up and down the entire lineup.

“Whenever you have four lines capitalizing… it’s nice to see,” said Lambert, whose team has scored 51 times in the last nine games. “It’s something that when we made these moves (for Draisiatl and Morrissey) you think that that’s going to happen a month ago, but it took a little time.

“We still have areas to improve,” he added, “but it was certainly another step in the right direction.”

Rookie Tomas Soustal enjoyed his best game as a Rocket Wednesday with

The only guy for us that didn’t have a goal and he couldn’t wait to get it. It was great to see (Lucas Johansen) get rewarded.”

Dan Lambert, Rockets head coach

Rookie defenceman Lucas Johansen celebrates his first WHL goal in the Kelowna Rockets’ 11-4 win over Kamloops Wednesday night at Prospera Place. two goals and two assists.

As an added bonus three of Kelowna’s goals came from 17-year-old defencemen, including Lucas Johansen’s long-

awaited first WHL marker.

“When we had injuries and Madison Bowey was gone to world juniors, Lucas was asked to log a lot of ice time and

(Wednesday) he gets rewarded,” Lambert said.

“The only guy for us that didn’t have a goal and he couldn’t wait to get it. It was great to see him get

rewarded.”

The WHL’s best road team (23-3-2-1) this season, the Rockets will visit the division rival Victoria Royals for games on Friday and Saturday nights.

As always, Lambert expects the Royals to be ready to play.

“It’s never an easy road trip or building to play in, or team to play against,” said Lambert. “We can expect a hard physical battle and they have a lot of skill as well. It’s going to be a big game Friday night for us.”

The Rockets (45-9-3-1) next home action is next Wednesday night when the Royals make a return visit to Prospera.

WHL VS RUSSIA

Kelowna to host Super Series game A showcase of the Western Hockey League’s best against Russia’s top junior players is coming back to Kelowna.

The annual Subway Super Series will make the first stop of its six-city cross-country 2015 tour at Prospera Place on Monday, Nov. 9.

“The last few years the series has been very good as the Russians have been sending a very good team,” said Rockets President/GM Bruce Hamilton.

“I think we will have a couple of players in Nick Merkley and Rourke Chartier as candidates for the team and that will be a great opportunity for them and exciting for

our fans as well.”

As for the fans, the Rockets plan to offer the game as part of 2015-16’s season ticket packages.

“We are currently working on the ticketing plan and will have details announced at a later date,” said Gavin Hamilton, Rockets vice-president of business development. “Our goal is to have it included in our season ticket holder packages as a perk to our season ticket holders.”

The series, involving all three of the CHL’s major junior leagues, is held annually as part of Hockey Canada’s evaluation process for

the selection of the national junior team.

The second game of the series will be played Nov. 10 in Kamloops.

The Super Series was first hosted by the Rockets in 2009. On that night, Kelowna forward Brandon McMillan scored the game winner in a 4-2 victory over the Russians, to clinch a six-game sweep by CHL teams.

The Ontario Hockey League will host games in Owen Sound and Windsor on Nov. 12 and 16, before wrapping up with games in QMJHL centres, Rouyn-Noranda and Halifax, on Nov. 17 and 19.

Other than winning a gold medal, there wasn’t much more Sarah Casorso could have asked from her first international hockey experience.

The Kelowna native and UBC Thunderbirds’ captain is back home in B.C. this week after helping Canada to a second-place showing at the Winter Universiade Games in Granada, Spain.

Casorso and her Canadian teammates reached the championship final of the women’s hockey tournament last Thursday before losing 3-0 to Team Russia.

A collection of 20 players from university programs all across the country, the Canadians had just three practises together prior to the start of the Games.

“That was probably the biggest challenge for us was figuring out how to come together in a short time, with players from all different programs and coaching backgrounds,” said Casorso, 22. “But it was really a good experience going through that, and just neat to see us take on that challenge.”

The powerhouse Russians, meanwhile, featured eight Olympians and a wealth of international experience.

“The Russians were a great team, they had speed and size I haven’t seen in women’s hockey,” she added. “We did what we could, so a silver was still pretty nice accomplishment.”

Casorso played in all four tournament games in Granada and, despite feeling under the weather

in the final like several of her teammates, she gave what she had for her country throughout the event.

“I think what stands out most is pulling on the Team Canada jersey for the first time, it was an incredible feeling,” she said. “Everything leading up to that, all that went into getting there was overwhelming…a real feeling of pride, like you finally made it.

“Being on the international stage for the first time is something I’ll never forget.”

From a hockey perspective, it marked a new territory for Casorso who is in the process of winding down her final season at the university level.

“Hockey-wise it’s probably my biggest accomplishment,” said Casorso, who hopes to play professionally in Europe next season.

“Hopefully there will be more opportunities like it. It was definitely the perfect way to top off this part of my career.”

Back in Canada, Casorso has returned to her role as captain of the UBC women’s hockey team, as the Thunderbirds ramp up for the Canada West playoffs.

Next weekend, Feb. 27 and 28, the T’Birds will host the conference semifinals.

The road-hardended Okanagan Coyotes baseball team put more than 8,300 kilometres on their bus during a recent 13-day swing of the west coast.

With 14 games under their belts the Coyotes felt like progress was made. “Any time you play that amount of games in eight days it is going to be tough,” said Coyotes coach Geoff White. “I was really happy with the level we competed at, we still have areas to improve in, but generally speaking it was a solid trip.”

The Coyotes started their trip in the Los Angeles area against some four-year universities where they went 2-5 in the first half of the road trip. Marcus Drewry picked up his first win of the season against St Katherines College, while Brandon Becking picked up his first win

Osland cracks top 10 at NCAA tourney A final round of even par 71 by Kelowna’s Megan Osland helped the San Jose State University Spartans to third-place showing out of 12 teams at the Peg Barnard Invitational Golf Tournament in Stanford, CA. Coupled with a firstround 72, Osland’s performance last weekend was good enough for a ninth-place showing overall out of 62 players.

It was Osland’s second top-10 effort at an NCAA Div. 1 tourney in her senior year at SJSU. A strong start to the spring season came for the KSS grad despite not being able to practise between Monday and Thursday before the

tournament.

Osland was one of 35 students chosen from her Recreation Management program to get on-course training at the PGA’s AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Event, Feb. 12 to 15.

“It was a great experience to see how they set up a world class golf event,” Osland said.

Due to an injury, it was Aabye’s first race since last spring.

Vernon’s Nathan Champness took second in 34:02, Vernon’s Aaron Heidt was third in 34:07 while Kelowna’s Jake Allen took fourth in 34:27.

The first woman to cross the finish line was Calgary’s Maria Zambrano

in 36:36, while Glynis Sim of Salmon Arm was second in 38:26.

Age group winners from Kelowna were Van Allen (20-29), Gary Wade (M45-49), Randy Goncalves (M40-44), Brian Rourke (M65-69), Cindy Rhodes (F55-59), Diane Leonard (F70-74), Susan Templin (F65-69), and Liz Borrett (F75-79).

to scrap out some wins. Despite opponents swinging metal bats we were competitive in all of the games,” said White.

The Coyotes then made a quick stop in Coolidge, Arizona (south of Phoenix) for a doubleheader with national power Central Arizona College. The Vaqueros proved to be to much for the ‘Yotes and swept the two game series in convincing fashion.

The Coyotes would finish up the schedule in Las Vegas, where the College of Southern Nevada hosts its annual Presidents Day Weekend tournament that has some of the best programs in the country

and a 12th, and Anthony Kurkjian had two 10ths and a 12th.

Next stop for these young racers in qualifying will be the U14 provincials at Silver Star Feb. 26 to March 1, after which the top 40 in the province will be announced.

Game 4 to wrap up the trip was with the same CSN team that saw Joel Lamont take a no-hit bid into the fifth before eventually surrendering a hit. The final game finished 8-0 in favour of CSN. Next up for the Coyotes is their home openers against Eastern Washington University March 7 and 8 at Elks Stadium.

Kelowna Secondary School athletes Michael Vallido and Aaron Stapleton each captured gold medals at the Okanagan Zone Wrestling Championships on Saturday at Salmon Arm Secondary School.

Vallido dominated the 74 kg weight class while not allowing one point to be scored against him. He first defeated Justin Bigelow of Valleyview Secondary School by a score of 10-0 in the first period. Vallido’s second match against Jacob Fagrie of Salmon Arm Secondary School also ended in the first period by a score of 12-0. If a wrestler is winning by 10 points or more the match is stopped and ruled a win by technical superiority.

He finished the tournament quickly pinning Amar Kang of Salmon Arm Secondary School in under a minute in the first period.

Want the Real Beauty Benefits of Collagen?

Generate It. Don’t Eat It!

BioSil Advanced Collagen Generator ™

Clinical Trial Results

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles • Increases Skin Elasticity • Thickens and Strengthens Hair • Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

collaBioSil™ generates collagen by activating the colla gen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

final vs KSS Owls

Barring a colossal upset in the semi-finals next week, the Kelowna Owls and Mt. Boucherie Bears will meet for the Okanagan Valley 4A boys basketball title next Friday night at RSS. On the line is a much coveted berth to the B.C. high school championship next month in Langley.

In a precursor to the ultimate showdown between the two rivals this past Tuesday night, the Owls downed the Bears 78-65 to split the season series and finish with identical 9-1 records.

Based on their 21-point victory over KSS last month, the eighth-ranked Boucherie squad takes first place, the Owls, second.

While some may have considered the game to have little meaning, Owls’

coach Harry Parmar said every meeting with the Bears carries weight.

“You always play to win no matter what the

We need to play like we did the last four (minutes)if we want to get to provincials.

Harry Parmar, Owls coach situation is,” said Parmar.

“Their goal is always to knock us off, so you want to play your best every night.

“I thought our intensity was good the last four minutes, not as good for the first 36,” Parmar added. “We need to play like we did the last four if we want to get to provincials.”

Boucherie coach Kelly Broderick, who had several players battling illnesses, thought the matchup was “a sloppy game,” with “both teams not finding much flow.”

But when the No. 4 ranked Owls battle the No. 8 Bears next Friday, Broderick doesn’t expect anything but the best from both sides.

“You want the two best teams going head to head and I expect to be a passionate, hightempo game. It should be exciting,” Broderick said.

The Okanagan 4A semifinals at RSS on Thursday feature KSS against Salmon Arm, while Boucherie battles Pen Hi. The winners meet for the valley title Friday at 7:45 p.m at KSS.

There are no cars in Yelapa, so boats are the only way to get to and from Puerto Vallarta, or anywhere else for that matter. But they also make a pretty scene.

Yelapa: Exquisite dining way out of the way contributor

word of mouth had been strong almost from the time we stepped ashore. By dusk, strings of lights gave the restaurant’s veranda and walled

The water taxi ground gently onto the beach, and we hopped over the side into warm, knee-deep surf.

It was an appropriate way to arrive in Yelapa, a sunny, secluded oceanfront enclave about 15 miles south of Puerto Vallarta by water. It’s a tiny, slightly threadbare fishing village with a broad, open crescent of beach, drawing daytrippers who sun, swim and drink, and a few tourists who stay longer.

Well, come for the beach and the drinks but stay for the food. As with the amphibious landing, don’t expect anything fancy—think plastic tablecloths, and chairs apparently supplied by the local Corona beer distributor. And don’t bother pulling out a credit card. The lure is simple menus with an emphasis on fresh seafood, and a few delightful, unexpected twists.

The village of Yelapa is a tangle of narrow pedestrian lanes; there is no access by road, only by water, and thus no cars. So Ray’s restaurant was a bit hard to find in the upper reaches of the Elena’s spicy shrimp makes for a fine seaside dinner. town, away from the harbour. But the

courtyard an inviting glow. My wife and I sat under open sky in the shadow of the town church.

We ordered drinks and, almost as an afterthought, guacamole and chips. How can something so simple and ubiquitous be a revelation? The zippy, chunky guac was spiked with jalapeno and cilantro, and the kitchen-made chips were cooked to a nutty, earthy flavour. Our server insisted they were fried, but there was not a hint of oil. And my margarita on the rocks arrived in what would serve as a water tumbler in most restaurants—easily 12 to 14 ounces.

We were more than content, even when the entrees were slow to arrive—the Saturday dinner rush is a bad time for the kitchen propane tank to run out.

Entrees included several preparations of arrachera (the traditional Mexican flank steak) and mahi mahi (that night’s choices were finished with tequila and cilantro or garlic). But my wife and I both had a taste for shrimp. Her shrimp satay arrived as a pyramid of three gargantuan shrimp atop a salad studded with goat cheese.

I opted for the Blue Coast shrimp, three big ones stuffed with mozzarella cheese and wrapped in bacon, paired with rice and sauteed vegetables. Not cutting-edge cuisine, perhaps, but the shrimp were DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

Getting there was another adventure, down a long staircase from the village, through kneedeep water of a channel that connects the harbour to a lagoon, and down the length of the beach, deserted except for a few beachgoers still nursing drinks.

We were seated no more than 40 feet from water’s edge under a palapa, a rustic canopy of tightly woven palm leaves, by Elena, Angelina’s daughter.

And when I saw “Elena’s spicy shrimp” on the menu, well, how could I go wrong? The pile of shrimp arrived with salad, sauteed red onions and four piping-hot corn tortillas, so I took the hint and made myself delicious shrimp tacos. For Yelapa it was a splurge at 220 pesos ($15), but the view of boats bobbing in the harbour in the fading sunlight was completely worth it. My wife’s fish tacos were a bargain at 80 pesos ($5.50), and we washed it all down with passion-fruit margaritas, the house specialty, for 60 pesos ($4.10) each.

Angelina’s had one other crucial amenity— a water taxi for a dry trip back.

Ways to deal with having a really bad day Have you ever had a bad day? You know the type…the one that everything goes wrong.

You can’t find your wallet, your keys have gone to some far away land, and your dog threw up as you are already late for work.

You notice the dog threw up because he got into the garbage and he decided to redecorate your living room with it. And then the finale, the barren looking toilet paper roll.

Now you are in a bad mood. Go on, you are justified. The storm clouds are on your every horizon.

It is not your fault or your doing that all the planets in the universe have aligned to single you out as the daily cheese.

Then ‘that guy’ cut you off in traffic, you spill your ill equipped coffee… ruining your day. ‘That’s it, I’m done’ you think.

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL You continue your day with dumping on your co-workers and family, wanting only for your day to end.

You have earned your bad mood and you have the scars to prove it. You are in a bad mood and you ought to have it.

Or do you?

Every second of the day, we make the choice of our mood, or what I like to call your ‘state’.

Simply put; we have the choice of determining our mood.

We can either be at the mercy of others, letting them determine our mood, or we can go within and determine it

ourselves.

The difference here is that one is external and the other is internal.

The only one that we can control is the internal. I often say ‘watch your state’. We can spiral ourselves into a state where things work against us.

Being mad at someone or something, harboring anger or resentment, frustration or the like, is similar to taking poison and hoping it will hurt someone else.

I am not saying you should quit your job and join the Hare Krishna’s, repeating the mantra “my world is love, I love my world”.

I am not talking about positive thinking either.

I am talking about the law of attraction. You will attract what you put out.

It has been proven time and time again. This is all determined by your state.

Your state will determine your outcome. This is the basis of quantum mechanics in the realm of the laws of attraction and repulsion.

What is this state thing, you say? Try this exercise and you will ‘feel’ what I mean. Think of a time when you were mad or frustrated. Go to that time and place your mindset in that state, if you were standing or sitting at that time, do so now.

Remember the chain of events that took you to that state, relive it in your mind. When you are there multiply your feelings by ten. Stay in that state and observe the way you are breathing, the tension in your body, notice your posture in that state.

Where is the stress on

your face? Where do you feel the emotion most? Is it in your stomach?

Now take a time when you experienced absolute, overwhelming joy. Think of a time when you felt the most love and connection in your life.”

Markus Theil Now take a time when you experienced absolute, overwhelming joy. Think of a time when you felt the most love and connection in your life.

Reproduce, in your mind, everything about that moment. Hold that moment in your mind, feel it in your body. Once you are in that state, multiply it by ten. It should take you about 1

minute to fully recreate each of these states. Now, observe your posture, your breathing, your facial expression. Feel, in your body where you feel that sense of love and joy. Is it in your chest?

Compare the experiences of the two states. Do you see the marked differences? Do you feel the differences in your body, your breathing, your posture?

Do you feel the different origins of the sensations?

This is what I mean by state.

The main point in this article is that you can change your state in a mere instant by reproducing what your body was doing in that specific state.

Let me illustrate.

Create the worst posture you can. Slump over, breathing shallowly from your stomach. Be

flaccid and weak. Now… smile. Doesn’t it seem unnatural? Now stand straight up, stick your chest out, breath deep from your chest, and look up. Now…frown.

This seems awkward, doesn’t it? This is an example of how your physiology can alter your state. You and you alone determine your physiology.

So, the next time your radiator is going to blow because someone treated you poorly, choose your state. The cool thing is that you will change their state as well. Your state is your state, and is independent of everyone else. So, just for today, watch your state.

the real subject of his work, I think, is other artists’ paintings – the rich loam of the history of painting.

Each of Smith’s works reads as the finished sum of its own process and making.

Creating a painting is a lived act, a lived experience, and a viewer cannot help picking up on some vestigial half-life of that spent energy.

In addition to his works on canvas for this exhibition, the artist made a new, unique artist’s book that includes images and writings of his own, as well as snippets of Emily Carr’s writing and that of his great grandmother. This book is a rich and layered piece, with images, drawing, and writing layered upon the pages. The book provides a delicious sidebar to the viewer’s experience of looking at his paintings.

MOVIE REVIEW

Steen takes spy thriller over steamy hype job

KINGSMEN, THE SECRET SERVICE No, I didn’t see 50 Shades of Gray. Way too much hype.

Instead, it was Kingsmen, The Secret Service.

Surprisingly, on this Valentine’s Day, lots of other people were in the theatre for this one too—or they were just too cheap to spring for a really nice dinner and some flowers—but in any case, here we all were.

Directed by Mathew Vaughn, with a cast that includes Colin Firth (Harry Hart), Samuel L. Jackson

Behind The Screen SUSAN STEEN (the evil Valentine), Michael Caine (Aurther), Sofia Boutella (Gazelle) and Taron Egerton (“Eggsy”), Kingsmen is an uber secret service which recruits promising candidates to what is called the world’s most dangerous job interview.

So we enter the film as the world is on the brink of a disaster at the hands of a diabolical villain. If

that sounds a bit like a James Bond film, it is very Bond-like, complete with gadgets, cars that drive themselves, evil deeds, chases, and of course girls—fun stuff.

I enjoyed this one. It’s certainly bloody, but it has a charming lightness amongst the crazy world of killing and mayhem, and unlike some other films, we know this is just a fantasy story like the Kinsgmen headquarters, which is fronted as a bespoke tailor shop with the same name.

DiCaprio and Cruise

were both considered for the role of Valentine, but Samuel L. Jackson is a perfect choice and plays the part so well.

There are some incredible scenes in the show and it’s an entertaining couple of hours that anyone who enjoys Bond, Bourne or the spy genre will find fun.

I give Kingsmen, The Secret Service four reels.

The view from Poplar Grove over Okanagan Lake is spectacular as is the Syrah, which, like the best of the winery’s reds, benefits from the extra aging afforded by cellaring it for a couple of years longer than the norm. A three-kilometre side trip to Red Rooster netted a Reserve Syrah, which exuded yummy plum and cherry from its neck, once opened! One more stop before a relaxing evening spent staring over the lake while sipping on a suite balcony at the Summerland Waterfront Resort. The snowy and very icy single track to the new Sage Hills Vineyard in Summerland required careful navigation. The reward was a barrel tasting with winemaker Andrea Lee and vineyard manager Keenan Thrussell. The new vintage had yet to be bottled but a rosé version hit the spot later!

Time to return to the coast via Sandhill Wines in Kelowna. Howard Soon, a B.C. born industry pioneer, makes Syrah from vineyards in the south of the valley and a special ‘small lots’ version from a

single vineyard.

By the time the rear two rows were lowered to accommodate the purchased cases of wine, the seven-seat MDX was strictly a two-seater. Despite its load, it leapt up to the Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector as fast the outside temperature dropped to minus five.

The Coquihalla Highway was bathed in sunlight and the descent to Hope was smooth and quiet but for the rattle from the bottles.

Bring on the Aussies! If you can’t get to the festival tasting room, tour Okanagan wine country this summer… with a designated driver, of course.

Mercedes gets a grip with winterland Montreal – If there is one part of this vast country that knows about winter and winter driving, it is the province of Quebec.

Winter weather can stretch from November until April, which is why this frost bitten part of the country mandates winter tires on all vehicles and was the perfect spot to showcase two products from Mercedes Benz, the B-Class and CLA-Class.

Both are now equipped with Mercedes 4Matic all

about style, competing for the young, upwardly mobile crowd that want to be seen in this sleek, low slung sedan, it isn’t the best choice for a family.

INSIDE Both the B-Class and CLA receive nice updates for 2015 on the inside. Both share the same dash so updating both made sense.

The screen that sits front and centre on the dash, like an iPad is larger, moving to a standard 7-inch screen or optional 8-inch screen

introduced a few years ago and gets a mild facelift, including a new grille, lower chin spoiler, different wheels and a new accent line down the side. The CLA was just introduced last year so external updates will have to wait another couple of years. The B-Class is a taller hatchback design that provides a useful package for young families, including bigger rear windows and a large hatch and cargo space. The CLA on the other hand is more

was heading to minus twenty three overnight and minus nineteen for a daytime high, plus snow, lots of snow. Perfect for winter driving but not for standing outside.

LOOKS Both the B-Class hatchback and CLA sedan are based on the Mercedes small car platform that is also shared with the GLA compact crossover. The B and GLA are sold with front wheel drive (FWD) and now AWD. The latest B-Class was

on cars equipped with navigation. This screen is controlled with a small knob between the front seats. Other updates include a sportier and very comfortable steering wheel, a revised stereo head unit and a new instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Heated seats are now standard equipment for 2015 but heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel are not available in these cars. The B-Class 4Matic is a $2,200 premium over the FWD version, starting at $33,500. The CLA has the same $2,200 charge for AWD, starting at $36,800.

One nice feature available on the CLA is an “exclusive” package that includes a leather dashboard with French stitching for $2,300.

overly aggressive nanny style is often used by other manufacturers and it shuts down any type of sliding, something that can be welcome by advanced drivers.

Altogether, both cars feel very well balanced, almost like a rear-wheel-drive car when a controlled slide is achieved.

VERDICT Mercedes has had enormous success with its 4Matic AWD system, accounting for eighty five percent of its sales. With the introduction of these two new models in late 2014, the number has jumped to over ninety percent.

This opens up the safety and stability of AWD to a larger market. One thing to keep in mind is these two products offer great value

Learning with the right tools Mecaglisse, Que. – Whatever your craft or hobby of choice is, having the right tools to execute your activities is paramount.

As an avid scrapbooker, I couldn’t imagine my life without a sharp pair of scissors, photos, flashy paper and double-sided tape.

If you’re a runner, proper footwear mitigates injuries and minimizes blisters.

For someone learning to be a better winter driver, having appropriate tires, a mechanically sound vehicle and the right teachers will

certainly increase confidence in slippery situations.

Enter Porsche’s Camp4: a winter driving program

available to everyone. It’s an event I’ve attended before and learned a lot from.

But what’s it like for someone who’s already considered a professional driver? – BC resident Scott Hargrove is well versed in racing. He joined our group of international journalists on the program.

At 20 years old, he’s the current GT3 Porsche Cup Challenge champion in Canada. He also took home second place in the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires.

That was just his 2014 race year. His résumé is impressive and he knows a thing or two about car control.

Then again, we can all learn something new, no matter how good we are.

“Driving on snow and ice is extremely different to any situation I have been in before,” remarks Scott.

“The technique is completely different compared to racing on pavement, where the fastest way around the track is the smoothest. On snow and ice, it’s all about pitching the car sideways

FULL-TIME SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE. BECAUSE YOU NEVER WANT OCCASIONAL TRACTION. ◆

2015 IMPREZA STANDARD FEATURES: • Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive • 2.0L DOHC, 4-cylinder BOXER engine with 148h • 5-speed Manual Transmission with Hill Holder System • Bluetooth® mobile phone connectivity • Power door locks and windows • Heated front seats • Power-adjustable heated door mirrors • Air Conditioning • And more

and using the throttle to execute the turn. So despite my extensive racing background, this was a whole new experience for me with a whole new learning curve.”

Each Porsche at Camp4, whether it be a Cayman, Carrera, rear or all-wheel drive, were equipped with Nokian 1.5mm studded tires.

Yes, we needed grip but we also wanted to slide these amazing machines sideways!

As the group is having the time of our lives, the purpose of the activities is to connect with the car and feel how the ice track beneath us is ever changing. Each lap brings new challenges – sometimes it got so slippery our only option was to spin out – or as the instructors would say, “we’d run out of talent!”

The unnerving feeling – exhilarating in most cases – of pitching a car into a corner and holding the slide leaves you with a real sense of accomplishment. Or left me wanting to become a rally driver.

Underneath the smiling faces is a much more satisfying feeling; the feeling of being more confident in yourself and your abilities to adapt to different environments.

As Scott and I are chatting, I ask why he thinks this kind of training is both good for him and every other driver out there.

“Camp 4 will teach you more about car control over any other form of high per-

formance driving school,” Scott says.

“Being in a low traction environment allows you to slide a car at slow speeds.

Drivers can then get a feel for what is like to slide a car, react appropriately and recover. This experience will translate directly to the street and help any driver in an emergency situation.”

Learning to be a better driver and having a lot of fun doing it? Yes, I’m ready for that.

So is Scott.

“I would go back in a heartbeat,” he adds.

“Who wouldn’t love to drive a whole range of Porsches in the snow? It’s an experience you don’t get to have very often and one you definitely don’t want to miss out on!”

Memorial Gifts

Arnold passed away at the Kelowna General Hospital from a sudden and brief illness. Arn was a fearless world traveler and adventurer with a tough exterior and gentle spirit.

Although born in Montreal, Arn has been a resident of Kelowna since 1975 where he attended Dr. Knox Middle School and graduated from Kelowna Secondary School (Class of ’82). He also proudly served as a reservist in the British Columbia Dragoons (903rd Squadron).

A quintessential ‘strong, silent type’, Arn was always willing to share his sharp intellect, leadership and strength when called upon. Being in his presence always made one feel safe. Losing him so soon and so suddenly fills us with intense sorrow. Arn will be deeply missed by his wife Natalie, his father Gary and mother Ann and his siblings Bruce, Tom, Joey and Frann. In lieu of flowers the family is accepting donations in Arn’s memory for the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.

VERKERK - JOHANNA BETTY Born: December 17th, 1927 - Died: Feb 16th, 2015. Jopie was born in 1927 to a gardener and his wife. She and her two sisters grew up in Eerbeek, a small village in the south of Holland. During the occupation of Holland, she met her husband to be Frits who was hiding at a farm not far from where she lived. At the end of the war, Jopie followed Frits to Kelowna where they married and began a new chapter as Canadians. Jopie helped clear and plant the apple orchard while bringing up three boys, John, Robert and Frits Jr. Her greatest passion though was her music, she played the organ every Sunday at St. Michael’s Cathedral and later St. Andrews in the mission. There were countless weddings, christenings, funerals and choir practices where she was asked to play the organ which she did with gusto!. In later life, Jopie travelled extensively until her dementia kept her at home in the care of a great gal named Kathie Almos. She made sure her life was full. A Special Thanks to all the caregivers at Mountainview Village who took great care of Jopie in her 2.5 years there. A Celebration of Johanna’s life will be held from St. Marys Anglican Church, 2710 East Kelowna Road, Kelowna on Tuesday, February 24th, 2015 at 1:00 PM. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC or Kelowna SPCA in memory of Jopie.

HARSHENIN, MARLEEN ANNE Marleen Anne Harshenin peacefully and gently passed on, surrounded in love from family and friends, and welcomed by loved ones who went before her, on Tuesday, February 17, 2015. She will be fondly and lovingly remembered by many.

FAMILY and HOME were paramount to Marleen, and she was a devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother, wife, sister and friend as well as an excellent homemaker and home economist. She loved to cook and to feed others, which explains why so many family photos centre around a table laden with her phenomenal homemade foods. Well before it was in vogue to eat natural and organic foods, Marleen was milling her own wheat flour and regularly baking multiple loaves of wholewheat bread, annually preserving hundreds of jars of fruits and vegetables from the family’s huge organic garden, whipping up blenders full of parsley-green energy drinks or coyly cutting the cream cheese with equal amounts of tofu (way back when most people had still never heard of tofu) to make her own version of “cheesecake”.

She was well ahead of her time in terms of health and nutrition, and that legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren, who thank her for this gift.

Marleen was born in Trail, BC, the eldest child of Sam and Ann Nazar. Her parents had five children but, very sadly, three did not survive past early childhood. This left a sizeable age gap between Marleen and her little sister, Shirley (Peter), with whom she shared a strong bond and a love of laughter. Their father was a true character whose idiosyncrasies were often the source of their amusement; and their mother was the poised epitome of grace and femininity. Marleen is happy to be reunited with them.

In her teens, Marleen’s family lived in Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, and that is where she met her husband, John, with whom she was married for more than fifty-five years. They had three children: Dan (Shirley), Deb (Harry), and Lynn. Marleen leaves behind many deeply loved grandchildren and great grandchildren: Danielle and her children, Romeo and Nadia; Geneva (Chase); Lexi; Nathan and his daughter Ava; Nevan; and Easton. The grandchildren acknowledge and were able to tell their grandmother what a great example she set for them in terms of love, caring, family and home. Marleen loyally and lovingly supported her family, typically in a quiet and mild-mannered way. But she could also, on occasion, be a fierce matriarch, adopting a mother-bear don’t-mess-withmy-family attitude and demonstrating her intense pride in and passion for her family. She leaves behind a family that learned to love and support one another through the example which she set for them.

With this same characteristic loyalty, Marleen loved and supported her friends, some of whom credit her with being their primary source of strength, perseverance and wisdom, helping them through challenging times. Marleen was always calm, centred and reliable, prioritizing others and wanting to help, and her friends benefitted from and appreciated this about her. It is said that when we lose someone we love, we gain an angel we know. Marleen will always help and support the people she loves.

Marleen had a strong straightforward faith which helped her through life. Do good, be good, believe that you have good, and you WILL have good in abundance. Allow positive and loving intentions to guide and motivate you always. In this, she succeeded, and her reward, we hope, is an eternally sunny beach, where she is enjoying the warmth of the sunshine, the sound of the waves and the soft caress and fragrances of the wind, forever. And so it is. * * * * * Thank you to Dr. McCloskey, whose wise and gentle loving care brought comfort to Mom and the rest of the family.

Thank you also to the many Interior Health representatives who generously provided support, guidance and assistance.

The family will celebrate Marleen’s memory at a later date, with close friends invited to participate. For more information, please email harsheninfamily@outlook.com or contact a family member.

Prayer for Protection The light of God surrounds us; The love of God enfolds us; The power of God protects us; The presence of God watches over us; Wherever we are, God is!

GUSTUS - PERCY ARTHUR

June 20, 1928 – February 6, 2015 Percy passed away peacefully in Kelowna BC after a lengthy period of declining health.

Predeceased by his son Guy, he is survived by his wife Lil; children Regan (Bruce) and Jeffrey; and, grandchildren Devon and Bryn. Percy will be remembered for his love of family and his passion for music. He played saxophone and clarinet in many bands over the years. The family home was always filled with music and jam sessions were a regular occurrence. Born in Kelvington, SK, Percy moved his young family to Saskatoon where he worked at Merlin Motors before returning to Kelvington in 1972 to purchase a Ford-Mercury dealership. In 2000 Percy, Lil and Guy moved to Kelowna to be closer to family in BC. Percy gained new friendships through his music and enjoyed the bounty of the Okanagan. The family is grateful for the loving care and support offered by Three Links Manor during Percy’s last years. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Percy’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, www.cancer.ca.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Students received more than $169,000 in scholarships In recognition of educational merit and community contributions, the Okanagan College Foundation has awarded 136 Okanagan College Kelowna campus students with a total of 173 scholarships and bursaries

valued at $169,697 during the 2013-2014 academic year.

“Our students consistently demonstrate incredible dedication to our community while also excelling in their studies,” said Central Okanagan

Wright received the Crowe MacKay LLP CAEF Scholarship and also the Edd Kyle Memorial Award totaling $6,500.

After she graduates this spring, she will begin an articling position with local accounting and business consulting firm KPMG in Kelowna.

“Our donors are an

integral part of our community here at the College,” said Kathy Butler, executive director of the Okanagan College Foundation.

“Their generosity makes it possible for students to pursue their studies and explore new careers.

These awards not only help relieve the financial pressure and support students being able to stay in school, but beyond that they let students know that there are donors in the community behind them, celebrating their successes.”

The 173 Kelowna awards represent a portion of the total

number of awards, bursaries and scholarships granted each year by Okanagan College.

In 2013-2014, the foundation disbursed 647 scholarships and bursaries totaling $541,851 and Okanagan College also awarded an additional 880 financial awards amounting to $404,462, for a combined total of $946,313.

Experts look at ways for libraries and museums to digitally preserve history.

A national committee chaired by UBC history professor Doug Owram is calling on Canadian memory institutions such as libraries, museums, archival storage organizations and galleries, to make a concentrated effort to keep up with the digital revolution.

Owram, who teaches in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences on the Okanagan campus, chaired the 13-member Council of Canadian Academies expert panel.

Their job was to examine the digital revolution and pinpoint the need for Canadians to recognize how it’s changing the way historical records are kept and how they might be

lost forever if things don’t change.

The final report, Leading in the Digital World: Opportunities for Canada’s Memory Institutions, was released this week.

The committee was asked to examine the challenges faced by today’s memory institutions, from technological changes, to shifting public expectations. It also looked at opportunities to help institutions navigate this period of change, including those related to enhanced public participation and those that can be realized through collaboration with other organizations.

“The digital age has meant big changes for our memory institutions,” says Owram. “Many of the systems we use to document our cultural

heritage simply don’t work for electronic communications. At the same time, digital technology offers exciting new opportunities to reshape the relationships between these institutions and the publics they serve.”

The report looks at key challenges for memory institutions, including the cost and resources needed to digitalize records, technical issues associated with managing digital content, right down to the struggle to remain relevant.

Owram is hopeful Canadian memory institutions take note of the final report and work to build partnerships, including the academic community, non-governmental organizations, and even some private sector organizations, that can

help reshape policies and identify strategic opportunities for historical digitalization.

“We know that people care about their past: in one survey we cited, 95 per cent of Canadians felt that it is important that Canada’s documentary heritage is preserved for future generations,” says Owram. “Politicians and decision-makers need to know that, and to continue providing support, not just to sustain things as they are, but to encourage and hasten the digital transition. If action isn’t taken, we’re going to fall further and further behind.”

Albas: MPs crossing the floor and accountability As I have commented in the past, many of the major issues on Parliament Hill are often very different from the concerns heard back at home.

MPs who are suspended from their caucus, satellite office expenses and costs of inappropriate partisan mailings, and most recently, an MP floor crossing are issues that receive a considerable amount of media attention in Ottawa. But they are less frequently raised by citizens in

that any floor crossing should automatically trigger a byelection, a position that we were reminded of last week.

In this conversation it is important to recognize a candidate can be elected without a party affiliation, refered to as independents. or be an MP or MLA who was elected as a member of a political party who decides to leave that party or join another. These can

MP’s Report DAN ALBAS Okanagan-Coquihalla.

All of these issues are quite rare but floor crossings are unique as they tend to involve an MLA or an MP leaving one party they were elected under to join another party.

As some may know, the NDP have a long standing position

be very difficult decisions for all involved, however, they are legitimately recognized positions in public office.

In fact, the House of Commons procedure and practice manual confirms that “members are not obliged to retain that party label during the whole of their mandate.” and further states “A Member who changes party allegiance is under no obligation to resign his or her seat and stand for re-election”.

My thoughts on this?

I disagree with the NDP

position that a member crossing the floor should trigger a by-election.

Ultimately a party cannot exist if it does not elect members to a parliament or legislature in electoral ridings. For individually elected members to retain the right to leave a party, sit as an independent, or join another party are all means that a member can use to help ensure a party is held accountable.

I mention this as also coming back before the House this week for debate is Conservative MP Michael Chong’s

private member`s bill The Reform Act of 2014, that seeks to rebalance Parliament by increasing the powers available to party caucuses, individual MPs and electoral riding associations.

This has been a widely debated bill but one most citizens I’ve heard from are supportive of and one I have supported.

As the federal election approaches, we have seen how some willing candidates have been summarily dismissed and blocked from running for a particular party. In

some cases cause is given but in many cases no cause is provided and in extreme circumstances litigation has occurred.

From my standpoint I have observed how some who are supportive of the democratic reform act have turned a blind eye to arbitrary candidate blocking. Ultimately this serves as a reminder to why the Democratic Reform Bill is one that should be taken seriously.

Dan Albas is the Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla. dan.albas@parl.gc.ca
