AAP voters derail CN corridor proposal

Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

A high profile, local government plan to purchase the CN Rail corridor between Kelowna and Coldstream for $22 million has been stopped in its tracks by less than 1,000 voters in Lake Country.

Officials in Kelowna, Lake Country and the North Okanagan Regional District are going back to the drawing board after residents in

Lake Country voted against a plan by the district to borrow money for its portion of a potential $22-million deal with CN. An inter-jurisdictional acquisition team being led by Kelowna, met Wednesday to discuss implications of the no vote in Lake Country and what options exist to keep the deal alive.

A total of 960 Lake Country residents voted against the district’s plans to borrow $2.6 million to help with its portion of the deal, just 29 votes more than the 931 (10 per cent of population)

needed to stop the borrowing bylaw, under the alternative approval process.

“It’s very disappointing because we thought people understood the benefits to the community,” said Lake Country Mayor James Baker. “Obviously the no-side got out there with the information or mis-information or scare tactics to the point that 960 people signed up against it.”

News MUNICIPAL ELECTION SPENDING

Influence of money evident in civic politics Alistair Waters

ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Prospera Place in downtown Kelowna was a busy place on the weekend as thousands flocked the 16th annual Home Show. More than 4,000 people were expected to attend the two-day show that featured representatives of many home and lifestyle products, as well as speakers and presentations.

Here, Trina Glass checks out the retractable screens offered by Phantom Screens at their booth at the show.

It was not quite a year’s pay—but it was close.

Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran spent $76,451 to get elected in November, more than three times what his strongest challenger, former mayor Sharon Shepherd spent on her campaign.

Basran, a one-term councillor when he announced his mayoral bid early last year, collected just under $19,500 from businesses and corporations for his campaign and another $56,000 from individuals, including $400 from the man he replaced former mayor Walter Gray and his wife Doreen.

As mayor, Basran is now paid $89,609 per year.

Shepherd, who spent $23,500 on her campaign and said from the outset it would be a frugal attempt to claim back the mayor’s chair she lost to Gray in 2011, received $8,700 from corporations and another $12,800 from individuals.

Gray, who served as mayor for three terms while Shepherd was a councillor—losing to

her once and defeating her in mayoral races— did not contribute to her campaign.

Basran said he was proud of the amount of money his campaign raised because it showed a lot of people wanted him to become the next mayor.

While the individual donors represented a virtual who’s who of the local business community, Basran described it was a wide range of age demographic and income spectrum.

“We had no problem raising money,” he said.

Basran said his campaign team determined how much they would need by looking at what Walter Gray spent four years ago to win the mayor’s chair and factoring in that unlike Gray, Basran had not run for mayor before.

He also noted he announced his mayoral bid a full five months before Shepherd, meaning he had been running—and spending—a lot longer than Shepherd.

On the council side, of the eight successful candidates the biggest spender by far was

Brad Sieben. He spent $25,327 on his campaign after raising just over half of that through contributions.

Coming in a distant second, but still outspending her closest spending rival by a wide margin, was Tracey Gray who spent $17,187 to get elected and raised $15,837, the most raised by any Kelowna councillor candidate.

The other successful councillor candidates spent and raised: • Maxine Dehart spent $11,323, raised $6,789 • Mohini Singh - spent $9,579, raised $6,546 • Ryan Donn - spent $8,679, raised $8,679 • Gail Given - spent $8,430, raised $8,794 • Luke Stack - spent $8,161, raised $8,161 • Charlie Hodge - spent $3,649, raised $2,936 Meanwhile, the only municipal political party to contest November’s election— Tax Payers First— spent a total of $43,196 to try and get its five candidates elected.

Just under $29,000 of that amount was donated by one man, businessman Mark Consiglio.

Consiglio, whose

controversial Kelowna Mountain development, has raised concerns by both the city and the regional district, made two separate donations to Tax Payers First, one of $10,000 and the second of $18,960, according to the election spending figures released by Elections B.C. Monday.

Carol Gran, one of the five Tax Payers First candidates on the ballot, worked as a consultant for Kelowna Mountain.

Consiglio was also prominently featured on an election newspaper “wrap” advertisement for the five candidates —Gran, Graeme James, Michael Gorman, Billie Aaltonen and Dale Olsen—the day before the election.

The advertisement wrapped both the Capital News and the Daily Courier.

The other party in the Kelowna election—which refused to call itself a party—Prosper Kelowna, spent $29,371 in its unsuccessful bid to elect two councillor candidates, Mike McLoughlin and Sean Upshaw.

The majority of the money for that campaign came from McLoughlin,

owner of a medical clinic in Kelowna.

He contributed $26,545 to his and Upshaw’s campaigns.

In Lake Country, Mayor James Baker received $2,342 in contributions to his 2014 election campaign that saw him re-elected.

Most of the money was from Baker himself, who contributed more than $1,500, with two individuals contributing a total of $800.

Baker only spent about $900 on his campaign, mostly in advertising with $542 going to newspaper, magazine or journal advertisements and $313 going towards signs and billboards.

His challenger, Jayson McCarthy, contributed all of the money for his campaign, $1,712. He spent $250 on Internet ads, $487 in newspaper, magazine or journal ads and a further $980 on election signs.

CN RAIL CORRIDOR

Lake Country wants extension to allow time for referendum CORRIDOR FROM A1 Lake Country council held a special meeting on Tuesday to accept the results of the AAP and refer the issue back to staff as well as the interjurisdictional team that negotiated a deal in principle with CN Rail to purchase the 47 kilometre line.

The parties had until March 31 to remove conditions to the tentative deal but Baker said

he hopes that they can get an extension to allow for the deal to still go ahead.

“If we lose the opportunity now there is no way of reviving that opportunity,” said Baker.

“I think that’s a big negative for Lake Country. We will see if we have some options to try and continue on with the purchase so we don’t lose out on this opportunity that won’t come again.”

Of the $22 million, Kelowna

was on the hook for $7 million and NORD just under $2 million with both jurisdictions able to afford the price out of financial reserves. Only Lake Country needed to raise the money from scratch. As part of Lake Country’s $5 million total in the tentative deal, Kelowna was going to purchase a portion of the corridor through Lake Country for $2.5 million with Lake Country paying it back over time.

It’s unknown at this time if that is still on the table but Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran said he thinks the majority of the public are in favour of the deal.

“We are disappointed because I believe Lake Country residents and all area residents believe this is a good project and something worth getting behind,” said Basran. “I’m optimistic Lake Country will come up with a viable

alternative in order to make the project go ahead.”

Lake Country resident Roger Bailey was one person who voted against the AAP and said there was just not enough information available to the public and no opportunity for the public to provide input on the potential purchase.

“I guess that’s a message to council that when they want to do something they have to be a little more

communicative,” said Bailey. “I went to the open houses with respect to the process and that was the first time the public was invited to be a part of it and it wasn’t for any input, it was just to tell us what they were doing.

“I didn’t like that. They have grandiose plans for the future that never seem to take into account the locals.” @KP_media1

Premier Christy Clark was on hand to mark the grand re-opening last Saturday of the rebuilt Westbank Lions Hall. “I’m thrilled to see the rebuilt Westbank Lions Hall opening its doors to the community it serves so well,” said Clark. “A big thank-you to the Lions Club members and the generous people across the city who pitched in and worked together to rebuild this special place in West Kelowna.” The provincial government kicked in $34,000 to assist with the community hall rebuilding efforts after a devastating fire in September 2013 that caused more than $1 million in damage.

I discovered Colin VanBergen, Audiologist, about 10 years ago. I was in denial at the time about the extent of my hearing loss and was worried that the appearance of hearing aids would somehow be a social stigma. To the contrary, my decision to invest in hearing aids has been one of the best personal decisions I made this past decade.

Worker under induced coma Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A West Kelowna man injured in a workplace explosion was listed in stable condition Tuesday, but remained unconscious so doctors could address a series of severe injuries he incurred.

A friend of the 50-yearold, who is believed to have been injured while cutting into a tank with acetone at Dead Metal Recycling on Auburn Road Monday, said he’s in a medically induced coma. When it’s safe to do so, doctors will wake him to assess the damage

that witnesses say was primarily to his face and head.

The man, who’s name is being held back, was described as “kindhearted” and employed casually to do any number of odd jobs at several industrial businesses in the area.

He always attended those jobs with his dog, in tow. The German shepherd was on scene at the accident, and employees at neighbouring businesses calmed him as paramedics treated his owner.

WorkSafe BC is investigating.

Independent Soldier parole revoked A former Kelowna resident who police once described as a prominent member of the Independent Solders was behind bars again after his parole was revoked.

Donald Bryce Lyons was arrested in his home this week by the Osoyoos Mounties, after a Canadawide warrant was issued relating to his change in parole status. Police did not shed light on what caused Lyons’s parole to be revoked, but they said he was picked up without incident.

Lyons was serving a six-year sentence for a series of weapons

charges related to activities in Kelowna and Winnipeg and had been recently released on parole— something that has happened and been revoked, previously.

The original arrest, according to file information at the Capital News, happened when Lyons’ Big Rock Court home in North Glenmore was searched by police on Dec. 12, 2007, as part of what police described as a cross-country crack down on high level organized crime.

Inside the home, police say they found 19 weapons, including 15 handguns, two assault rifles, a

shotgun, an Uzi type hand-held fully automatic weapon and two Tasers.

Police at that time also claimed they located a pipe bomb in a floor safe in the garage and found five small .32 calibre single shot handguns in a secret compartment in a 2007 Cadillac Escalade.

Lyons, then 34, was arrested late that day in Vancouver as part of the Manitoba-based investigation, dubbed Project Drill, that resulted in 18 people being arrested for drug trafficking.

Judges for the CANstruction 2015 competition included Bill Everitt, with Southern Interior Construction Agency, Kelowna city councillor Maxine DeHart, and Dennis Campbell, president of the Kelowna Rotary Club, joined here by Natasha Orlitzky (right), chair of the CANstruction local food bank fundraiser.

CANstruction boost for food banks The results from CANstruction Kelowna 2015 are in and the organizing committee members are all smiles.

CANstruction Kelowna is a partnership between the Rotary Club of Kelowna, the Rotary Club of Kelowna Foundation, Save-On-Foods and Cooper’s Foods, The Kelowna Community Food Bank, The Westside Community Food Bank and The Kelowna Salvation Army.

This year, the design/ build competition raised more than 23,000 cans of food and $4,000 cash to be split between local food banks.

“We’re very grateful for all the support the community has shown. This donation will go a long way to helping families in our

community,” said Darryl Burry, lead pastor for the Kelowna Salvation Army.

“CANstruction is a great way to raise the issue of hunger in our community,” added Lenetta Parry, executive director for the Kelowna and Westside Community Food Banks.

“It is a unique event that gets everyone involved, by way of teams, sponsors, judges, donors, volunteers and the general public who were able to vote for their favourite structure either in person or online.”

The 2015 CANstruction contest category winners for Canstruction 2015 are: Glenrosa Middle School, honourable mention; Enactus, Best use of Label; Orchard Park Shopping Centre, structural ingenuity;

Okanagan Adventist Academy, best meal; Save-On-Foods and Cooper’s Foods, bragging rights award; Kelowna Jaycees, People’s Choice award.

And the overall winner award went to Montgomery Miles Law Firm as chosen by the contest judges Bill Everitt (Southern Interior Construction Association), David Pfuetzner

(Canadian Home Builders Association), Kelowna city councillor Maxine DeHart and Kelowna Rotary Club president Dennis Campbell.

“This is a perfect example of how working together can improve the health of our community”, said Natasha Orlitzky, the CANstruction Kelowna organizing committee chair.

Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis.

Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

Opinion OUR view

Property tax transfer fees too sweet to pass up Realtors, prospective home buyers and sellers, and others can stop hoping that B.C.’s property transfer tax (PTT) will be discontinued.

It’s never going to happen. The reason? It’s a major cash cow for the provincial government, needed to balance the budget and there’s nowhere else to raise that large chunk of cash without raising personal and corporate income taxes, and that’s not on for the BC Liberals.

Premier Christy Clark is proud of what she says is the country’s lowest tax rate so this kind of special tax, that only hits buyers of property, is not going anytime soon, even though, as Clark herself says, it’s a drag on the economy.

Here’s how it shakes down, according to a recent article by Black Press regional reporter Jeff Nagel: The PTT consists of 1% charged on the first $200,000 of a property’s value and 2% after that. That means for a $600,000 house, $10,000 is due every time it changes hands.

This handy calculation is not just a painful hit to the pocket book when purchasing a home—it’s a major source of revenue, generating $1.04 billion in 2014.

Don’t think that’s a lot of cash? Well, consider that the PTT raises significantly more than forestry—formerly the province’s number one industry—which only brings in about $757 million; or natural gas royalties, which at $542 million, generate about half of what the PTT does.

These revenue numbers are interesting for another reason: They show how important real estate is to B.C.’s ongoing financial solidity. Without a strong real estate market, helped, no doubt, by record-low interest rates, the provincial coffers would be much poorer.

A strong real estate industry and increased property values, especially in single-family homes, are therefore critical to government budgeting—at least for now.

So unless the much-vaunted LNG industry or another economic sector can provide a windfall, the PTT is here to stay.

Bucks buys the mayor’s chair They say money can’t buy you love.

City But that may be Confidential wrong when you talk about wooing voters. ALISTAIR Based on figures WATERS released Monday by Elections B.C., money bought plenty of voter love in the municipal election.

Of course, the candidate running for office has a lot to do with the successful outcome of any campaign, but as was shown in November’s civic election, deep pockets can, in most cases, also help translate into success at the ballot box.

Colin Basran, a first-term councillor with no other political experience, spent more than $76,000 to easily defeat former two-time mayor Sharon Shepherd in the mayor’s race. Shepherd spent less than a third ($23,000) of what Basan spent and it showed in the results. In fact, Basran raised nearly as much from corporate donors as Shepherd spent on her entire campaign ($19,000).

Reading Basran’s donor list of individuals is a veritable who’s who of local business people. Not so for Shepherd’s list.

Basran ran, in essence, a big city campaign. Shepherd didn’t. And that was the tale of the tape last November.

Lots of bucks also helped in the councillor race, with successful first-time winner Brad Sieben spending $25,000 to gain his seat, fellow first-time candidate Tracey Gray spending $17,000 to win her seat and incumbent Maxine DeHart spending $11,000 to hold her spot on council. For all the rest but one, the price of a council seat was between $8,000 and $9,000.

The exception was Charlie Hodge, who was

unceremoniously dumped by voters in 2011 after being targeted for defeat by a special interest group called FourChange. He re-claimed the eighth and last seat on council by shelling out just $3,600, besting ninth-place finisher Carol Gran, who was part of a multi-candidate civic slate called Tax Payers First that spent $43,196, thanks in large part to controversial local businessman Mark Consiglio’s deep pockets. The Kelowna Mountain developer contributed a total of $28,960 to the Tax Payer First campaign that ran five candidates, including Gran.

The Kelowna spending—while not mirrored in adjacent municipalities such as West Kelowna and Lake Country or in Peachland—shows the political landscape in Kelowna has changed.

Basran’s spending was more $20,000 more than Walter Gray spent in 2011 to defeat Shepherd and showed election campaigns are more complex, require bigger and better and more targeted spending than before to not only get the message out, but to make sure it sticks. At the end of the day, any campaign wants the name of its candidate top of voters’ minds as they enter the ballot booth.

In four years, the price to play, and win, the mayor’s chair here will likely be even higher, especially if two or more high-profile candidates go at it.

We’ll also likely to see more civic parties emerge now that Tax Payers First and Prosper Kelowna have blazed the trail.

Unlike other provinces that have caps on municipal election spending, B.C. seems more intent on limiting individual donations than total campaign spending.

And that means the civic election spending in larger centres is only likely to climb.

FEDERAL DEBT

DCCs to be dropped if Follow the developers build downtown federal case on Canada’s debt online To the editor: West Kelowna is proposing to substantially reduce development cost charges for developers willing to build in downtown Westbank.

Council says Westbank Centre already has significant urban infrastructure so DCCs are not as greatly required. This infrastructure, such as the expensive Brown Road work, cost millions of dollars. Developers should pay full DCCs to reimburse taxpayers.

Council says this development would create a more sustainable community reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Actually, more cars would produce more air pollution. Also, there would be more highway congestion resulting in slower moving traffic and a lot more air pollution (smog). This affects people throughout the valley.

More people mean more sewage polution going into the lake and more sewage sludge being trucked to Merritt where the residents don’t want it.

There is already too much development in the West Kelowna area with many vacant buildings. Developers say more construction is not viable without a subsidy.

West Kelowna council should not be reducing DCCs or giving tax holidays to developers to promote its pet projects. When some people get special tax concessions everyone else has to pay more.

Clyde Jones, Kelowna

To the editor: “I have a dream.”

A famous speech I believe being echoed

by Mayor Doug Findlater and some District of West Kelowna council members. They want to revitalize the “southern-most” section of West Kelowna, more commonly known as Westbank.

They are determined to build the ‘new’ City Hall and Civic Centre in this area and they want the Westbank downtown core developed to improve the optics around it.

Quite possibly they see this as their legacy.

One major obstacle: They want the rest of West Kelowna—the larger of the population bases—to pay for this beautification.

Council is eyeing cuts to development fees worth millions of dollars to lure prospective individuals, companies to develop their ‘dream.’ They believe, the long-term economic benefits ‘m-i-g-h-t’ compensate for the immediate financial implications of lost revenue. Might!

Don’t be fooled, Westbank has always wanted to be the “tail” that wagged the dog, and it is being given that opportunity with the support of council.

David W. Kuhn, West Kelowna

Smart meter danger: ‘Cumulative long-term exposure’ To the editor: In his letter to the Capital News of Feb. 11 [Time to Put ‘Smart Meter Paranoia To Rest’] as a response to Keep Your Smart Meter Off My Townhome [letter to the editor Feb. 6], Robert Wilson clearly proved the old saying that ignorance is bliss.

I measure the signal levels of smart meters with extremely sophisticated equipment and it is true that they may only transmit for a small period of time per day.

The important thing is what they transmit.

They are transmitting extremely high levels of pulsed microwave radiation.

The truth is that radiation is radiation.

The scientific evidence has now shown conclusively that wireless radiation is just as damaging as nuclear radiation. It just takes more time.

The effects of this radiation are cumulative.

When one has been using wireless radiation for more than 10 years their risk of many forms of deadly cancer have quadrupled and quintupled. In case you don’t know what those words mean that means four or five times as likely. This is what is meant by cumulative long-term exposure.

When a neighbourhood has a smart meter on every home there are pulsed wireless blasts of radiation occurring on a very regular basis. A smart meter is significantly more powerful in its output than a cell phone. I know this because I have extremely sophisticated measuring equipment.

The fire risk is a very important issue in that a smart meter is an electronic device with a limited lifespan. Electronic devices

that are constantly on, as is a smart meter, have components that degenerate at an accelerated rate. The estimated life of a smart meter is a maximum of five years, according to the industry. It is already being seen in the field that smart meters are starting to have internal breakdown after three to four years.

The province of Saskatchewan has removed 105,000 smart meters due to an excessive number of fires. Maybe Saskatchewan knows something that B.C. does not. [Editor’s Note: FortisBC has indicated it is installing a different brand of smart meter than Saskatchewan.]

The other issue with fires is the unqualified installation of smart meters being done by non-electricians. After two weeks of training an installer knows very little about the integrity of the base that Mr. Wilson talks about. Lives have been lost and millions of dollars of property damage has occurred due to exactly this.

I agree with Mr. Wilson, it is time to put all of this smart meter paranoia to rest. The reality is it is not paranoia. It is the waking up of people who have realized that they are being damaged and killed by a technology that has always been and always will be lethal to biological organisms. That is the scientific truth.

I sincerely hope that all the others like Mr. Wilson are able to wake up and smell the smart meters.

To the editor: Very few Canadians are aware that, in his November 1993 report, the Auditor General of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen of Canada calculated that of the $423 billion federal public debt accumulated from Confederation to 1992, only $37 billion (8.75 per cent) went to make up the shortfall in actual goods and services spending for the NOW BOOKING 15 pt.

Recently sentenced Hells Angels driver set free Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A Kelowna man who recently went to prison for charges relating to a heavily armed drive through the outer reaches of the Shuswap has been set free, for the time

being.

In a decision released this week, Cory Joseph Montemurro, 45, was granted judicial interim release pending the hearing of his appeal from conviction.

Release was granted with a list of 22

conditions, $500,000 in sureties and a promise to enter the written component of his appeal by no later than August of this year.

“Although I am less sanguine than Mr. Montemurro about the strength of some of his grounds of appeal, I am also less pessimistic than the Crown about the possibility of the appeal succeeding. Admittedly, the prospects of success with respect to some of the grounds are greater than with others…” reads the decision by Supreme Court Justice David Frankel.

“While this case is close to the line, on balance I am of the view the merits of the appeal are such that public confidence in the administration of justice would not be adversely affected by granting Mr. Montemurro bail provided he diligently prosecutes the appeal.”

Montemurro had only been sentenced to five years in prison alongside well known Kelowna

Hells Angel Joseph Skreptak a month earlier, but was given an all but instant reprieve due to his intent to appeal submitted Jan. 20.

His appeal can be distilled to six points: • The trial judge erred in finding there were reasonable grounds to arrest the occupants of the Jeep and that the search of the Jeep was lawfully conducted incidental to those arrests • The trial judge suffered from an undisclosed illness during the proceedings which resulted in him making factual errors in his voir dire ruling and reasons for judgment • The trial judge erred in finding Mr. Montemurro in possession of all the weapons on the basis of a joint enterprise • The trial judge erred in finding a knife on Mr. Montemurro’s person to be a weapon • Mr. Montemurro was entitled to know why the trial judge was replaced for sentencing so that he could consider whether to apply for a mistrial; and • The verdict was unreasonable and not supported by the evidence.

Montemurro was

arrested Nov. 25, 2010, when a police officer pulled over the rented Jeep Grand Cherokee that Montemurro, Skreptak— and two others who had charges against them dropped—were driving around on the outskirts of Salmon Arm on a dark and snowy night.

The officer pulled the Jeep over because he was concerned it was being driven at a speed that was unsafe for the winter road conditions.

When he arrived at the side of the car he saw four men in the Jeep.

When he leaned through the front passenger side window to hand that ticket to Montemurro, the officer detected the odour of marijuana bud, so he made a decision to further investigate, the court heard during the September 2014 trial.

The problem, he decided, was that he’d pulled the car over in an isolated area and he was alone, so he opted to let the Jeep proceed until he could secure assistance.

When they got closer to the city, the vehicle was pulled over and police found enough to instantly take the men into custody.

A thorough search

of the vehicle yielded, two knives from Mr. Montemurro, one on his belt, the other in his boot, a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun wrapped in duct tape, a loaded CZ Luger 9mm pistol registered to Montemurro, a set of men’s boxer shorts capable of being used as a mask, an electronic device capable of jamming cellular telephones, a black duffle bag containing a knife, bear spray, a firearm’s licence in Montemurro’s name, 12-gauge shotgun shells, six loaded magazines for the CZ Luger pistol, and a bear banger.

There was also a blue duffel bag containing a black balaclava and body armour, a grey duffle bag containing a knife and behind which was a baseball bat and a threefoot long piece of hickory wood and two walkietalkies tuned to the same frequency and a roll of duct tape.

When Skreptak was searched at the roadside, he was found to have a cellular telephone with a sticker on the back that read “Support your local Hells Angels, Kelowna.”

He also had a shirt with the Hells Angels name and logo on it.

When Skreptak was searched again at the detachment, the police found a plastic bag containing a small amount of marijuana and a latex glove containing nine .38 calibre rounds of ammunition.

The discovery of the .38 calibre ammunition caused the police to return to the two locations where the Jeep had been stopped.

In searching the area of the second stop, the police found a loaded .38 calibre revolver in a holster.

It was lying in the snow about 17 feet from where the Jeep had been pulled over.

About five feet away from the revolver, the police found a loaded Glock 9mm pistol inside a black sock. The serial number of that pistol had been removed.

Both men faced 10 charges relating to the weapons and ammunition seized.

Montemurro was charged alone with respect to the knife concealed on his person.

Skreptak was charged alone with simple possession of marijuana.

They were found guilty last year and sentenced in January.

Culture ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

Big Sugar offers mix of rock’n roll and reggae

THEATRE The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon March 5-8 7 p.m.

Kelowna campus of Okanagan College A comedic curling match with the devil takes the stage in upcoming Red Dot Players production What could be more Canadian than W.O. Mitchell, a curling competition with the devil set in the Prairies and curling stones that can be used in any season?

This is what you can expect on stage as the Okanagan College Red

Will Smith (left) stars with Margot Robbie in Focus.

CONTRIBUTED

Joanne Arnott, a Metis writer and arts activitist originally from Manitoba.

Arnott’s poetry reading is presented by UBC Okanagan Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies along with Canada Council of Arts.

Arnott has performed her work and given writing workshops across much of Canada, and in Australia. She facilitated Unlearning Racism workshops for a number of years; peer counselling/ social justice perspectives continue to inform her work.

She is a founding member of the Aboriginal Writers Collective (West Coast) and a past volunteer on The Writers Union of Canada’s National Council and The Writers Trust Author’s Committee.

POETRY READING Joanne Arnott Thursday, Feb. 26 7 p.m.

Alternator Gallery in the Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna

Big Sugar will perform at the Mary Irwin Theatre in the Rotary Centre for the Arts on March 6.

Dot Players present Mitchell’s comedy The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon at the Kelowna campus. This will be the theatre company’s fifth production.

Based on the classic literary tale of Faust’s deal with the devil, a curling match sets the stage for this humorous, clever and Canadianized version of the ultimate battle between good vs. evil.

“One of the challenges with the script was to create an actual curling match on the stage,” said the play’s director Mike Minions, Okanagan College’s educational technology coordinator.

“Using the big lathe in the college’s carpentry shop we built some wooden curling rocks on roller bearings. They painted up pretty well and the actors have been working hard to learn to make the shots they need to for each end of the game.”

The audience will be transported to the fictional town of Wildrose, Ab., in 1936 where protagonist Wullie, a shoe repairman, faces-

off with the devil and his rink from Hell consisting of Judas Iscariot, Lucrezia Borgia, and none-other than the melancholic Macbeth in a curling match.

The stakes are high: a win means Wullie will ultimately earn gold at the upcoming Brier Championship, but if he loses, he not only loses his immortal soul to the devil, but—even worse in his opinion—he will have to play on the devil’s team in the Celestial Brier, a curling match between Heaven and Hell.

This two-act play delivers quirky characters, clever dialogue and takes a fond look at the obsession with curling so typical of a prairie town.

“Each year I am truly impressed by the talent our extended College community brings to these plays,” said artistic director and Okanagan College English professor Jeremy Beaulne.

“This year we have a cast of 10 and an additional five crew members who worked extremely hard these past few months to make this

play come to life.”

Performances take place at the Kelowna campus theatre on March 5, 6, and 7, each at 7 p.m., with an additional matinee on Sunday, March 8, at 2 p.m.

Tickets are available at the Okanagan College Campus Store, Mosaic Books in downtown Kelowna and at the door.

The Red Dot Players is a theatre troupe for Okanagan College students, alumni, and employees based on the Kelowna campus.

Smith back in cinema spotlight with Focus There were not very many surprises on last Movie Guy Sunday’s Academy Awards.

I think the biggest surprise was Neil RICK DAVIS Patrick Harris as host, not that he deserves criticism because being Oscar host is one of the hardest jobs in Hollywood.

After an impressive opening number, he seemed unusually uncomfortable onstage with jokes that fell flat and then he seemed rushed because the show went long by over half-an-hour.

Ironically, part of the reason why it went over were some of the best parts of the show—the acceptance speeches.

Patricia Arquette, Eddie Redmayne and Imitation Game screenwriter Graham Moore’s powerful messages about accepting who you are were all noteworthy.

Common and John Legend’s acceptance speech for Best Song was almost as powerful as their musical performance of the winning song “Glory,” the best of the night.

However, their musical performance was almost overshadowed by Lady Gaga’s tribute to the Sound of Music. Overall, it was not the best Oscar telecast, but it had some memorable moments including Idina Menzel introducing John Travolta by mispronouncing his name.

Opening this week is Will Smith’s latest Focus. Smith is still stinging after the less-than-stellar reaction to his last major starring vehicle almost two years ago.

After Earth, co-starring his son Jaden, was critically panned by critics and North American audiences did not come out as

CENTRAL OKANAGAN WEATHER FORECAST Duane English & Wesla Wong

The Okanagan’s Weather Team

much as his previous efforts.

Thankfully, it did well in international markets and kept it from being a money loser. So after taking a little break, Smith has come back with a crime drama with doses of comedy from the filmmakers behind the underappreciated Crazy, Stupid, Love.

In Focus, Smith plays a smooth and suave con-man who becomes romantically involved with an attractive young woman (The Wolf of Wall Street’s Margot Robbie) while teaching her tricks of his trade. However, she gets too close and he abruptly ends the relationship.

Three years later, they both show up in Buenos Aires on the opposite side of the same scam involving a billionaire race car owner and she uses the skills he taught her to throw the consummate con man off his game.

While it will not be a huge hit for Smith, this slick-looking film will give him the number one spot this coming weekend.

The Lazarus Effect is the latest horror flick from the producers of The Purge, Insidious and Sinister. It features an intriguing story about a group of scientists who appear to have pulled off the impossible—bringing the dead back to life. After a successful test on a deceased dog, the lead scientist’s fiancée is accidentally electrocuted and the experimental procedure is used in an attempt to bring her back to life. What could go wrong?

Starring Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass, The Lazarus Effect will likely not be strong at the box office but may become a cult favourite with horror fans.

Page: “It’s as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal” From the high-energy electric classics to the beautiful acoustic works, Led Zepagain captures the heart and soul of what many consider the greatest rock’n roll band ever.

Lead singer David “Swan” Montgomery delivers an uncanny portrayal of Robert Plant.

Taking on the role of Page is Jimmy Sakurai, a self-described “musical stalker” who adheres to the philosophy, “Anybody can follow musical patterns, and everybody ends there, but for me, that is a starting point.”

Having studied drums and percussion with Carmine Appice, Joe Porcaro, and at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Jim Kersey takes on the task of filling the role of John “Bonzo” Bonham.

Jim Wootten, nephew of the legendary guitarist Les Paul fills the demanding role of John Paul Jones, covering bass, keyboards, mandolin, acoustic six- and 12-string guitars, and backing vocals.

CONCERT Movie Rock–Hit Songs from the Movies Feb. 28 Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Kelowna music students pay tribute to music from the movies as the Interior Savings and Wentworth Music present Movie Rock–Hit Songs From the Movies. More than 150 students and teachers from Wentworth Music will showcase some of the greatest cinema tunes of all time.

“We’ve been getting so many positive reviews from parents and students about the set list!” said Noel Wentworth, v-p of education at the local music school. “With songs like Footloose, Hard Day’s Night and Live and Let Die, the show will be a hit!”

Now into their 18th season, the instructors from the Wentworth Music Education Centre have been putting on themed shows like this, that not only provide the goal of students experiencing a big stage, but also sets the example that we can all help our community by doing what we love.

As with previous concerts, all proceeds will go to the children’s ward at the Kelowna General Hospital. With help

from their sponsors, this initiative has collectively raised over $120,000 to date to help sick children at the KGH. “It’s inspiring to see the talent and personal contribution of Wentworth’s students performing for the benefit of kids struggling with health issues at KGH,” said Kathy Conway, CEO of Interior Savings. “I encourage the community to join us for an incredible night of entertainment for a very important cause.”

Wentworth explains that although these concerts are performed by students, they are professionally produced.

“I have people come up to me all the time that don’t even have students taking lessons at our music school to say they can’t wait THEATRE Marooned UBC Okanagan and Theatre 26 presentation Until Feb. 28 University Theatre UBCO Kelowna campus A new stage show presented by UBC Okanagan and Theatre26 explores the madness and isolation, joy and elation experienced by professional clowns on the road.

Marooned brings a slice of surreal life from UK- and Toronto-based artists Aron De Casmaker and Jesse Buck, who spent five years on tour as principle clowns in Cirque du Soleil’s production Alegria.

Marooned audiences

can expect a PG-rated show full of comedy, absurdity, surprises, multimedia interaction— and a certain “sleight of hand to charm and trick audiences into laughing.”

Marooned runs for 8 p.m. shows Feb. 26, 27 and 28, with Saturday performances (Feb 28) at both 2 and 8 p.m.

All shows take place at University Theatre (ADM 026) at the UBCO campus in Kelowna.

Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance at the the UBC Okanagan Bookstore.

If all this mild weather has sent you out in the yard for some pre-spring clean up, you’ll be happy to hear you can start using your yard waste cart again.

Starting Monday, March 2, all Central Okanagan residents on municipal curbside garbage collection can benefit from yard waste pick up every two weeks until the end of November.

Simply place your yard waste directly into the cart with the green lid and wheel it out for pickup every other week (alternate weeks to your recycling pick up).

To determine your yard waste collection week, please refer to the Living Greener Calendar at regionaldistrict. com/recycle, or download the smartphone app at regionaldistrict.com/mywasteapp.

Waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart said, “Last year alone we collected almost 14,500 tonnes of yard waste at the curb and turned it into high quality compost instead of it being buried at the landfill.”

Stewart adds your collected yard waste is turned into compost known as GlenGrow, great for amending your garden soil, so it’s very important to keep the yard waste free of any plastic, garbage or other foreign matter. It’s available for purchase at the Glenmore landfill in Kelowna.

Accepted items include leaves, needles, wood chips, bark, garden plants, fruit droppings, grass clippings, branches and prunings up to five centimetres (two inches) in diameter and less than one metre (three feet) in length.

An entrepreneurial mind inspires creative results Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG It seems to me from all the research literature I have seen, no matter what kind of organization, from small companies to home-based businesses to large corporations, employees can become entrepreneurial-style owners.

They are responsible for more than just keeping a job, they’re emotionally and intellectually invested in making every minute count toward achieving their employer’s goals which complement their own career aspirations.

Entrepreneurial thinking is driven more by results than routine.

Both the company created and the individual entrepreneur may reap immediate benefits in profit, performance and sense of purpose when people are encouraged and taught to use their ingenuity, invest themselves in their work, and expect exponential results for their effort.

Let’s take a few moments and bring in the dimension of entrepreneurial leadership into the mix.

A huge part of becoming an entrepreneurial leader is learning to simplify complexity so your entrepreneurial team members or personnel can act with selfconfidence in the tasks assigned to them, with the innovative and creative juices that one might logically expect given the atmosphere of new venture inspiration.

So then, how will you know that the entrepreneurial mindset has kicked in and taken hold?

Guess what, I have come to the realization that you’ll know when you begin to think and act like the unusual

people we might call habitual entrepreneurs.

These are the entrepreneurs who have made careers out of creating new ventures, some working within existing businesses and some in independent start-ups.

They all have in common finely honed skills in forging the beguiling entrepreneurial opportunity from uncertainty.

My research over the years has taught me and distilled my observations somewhat of this entrepreneurial mindset.

Our point is to attempt in our journey to recognize how they think, how they behave and exactly what it is they do so extremely well.

They truly capitalize on uncertainty rather than avoid it, and create simplicity where others see complexity. They embrace learning that comes from taking calculated risks.

These “ special” entrepreneur types recognize that when opportunities are fleeting, it is sometimes more expensive to be slow rather than to be wrong.

As a consequence of this, they will find solutions that are “roughly right” it seems rather than consume time developing an analytically correct but a lot slower answer to a perceived issue item.

However, this special grouping of entrepreneur has an immense amount of insight and experience to offer you and me.

They passionately seek new opportunities in a wide range of paths. They pursue opportunities with enormous discipline, which allow us tremendous learning through observation.

They pursue only the very best opportunities and avoid exhausting themselves by simply chasing.

They focus on execution, that is to

me, they engage the energies of absolutely everyone within their domain, involving people both internally and externally to their sphere of reference in pursuit of the dream opportunity for them.

say taking action to achieve results instead of analyzing to death every step along the way.

They are very adaptive to change directions if required in exploiting the best opportunity for them. And lastly to

They are excellent at creating and sustaining networks of relationships rather than going it alone, making the most of the intellectual and other resources offered in their journey and, in turn, helping those people to

achieve their goals as well.

These are some of the absolute keys to the entrepreneurial mind that I have uncovered through my research.

They will unlock the potential of people

working today, and open the doors of unlimited possibility in their worlds for the future.

Bullying happens when there is an imbalance of power; where someone purposely and repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else.

Bullying can occur one on one or in a group(s) of people. There are many different forms of bullying: • Physical bullying (using your body or objects to cause harm): includes hitting, punching, kicking, spitting or breaking someone else’s belongings.

• Verbal bullying (using words to hurt someone): includes name calling, put-downs, threats and teasing.

• Social bullying (using your friends and relationships to hurt someone): includes spreading rumours, gossiping, excluding others from a group or making others look foolish or unintelligent. This form of bullying is most common among girls. (Canadian Children’s Rights Council)

DANGERS FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WHO ARE BULLIED: • Depression • Social anxiety, loneliness, isolation • Stress related health problems (e.g., headaches, stomach aches) • Low self esteem • School absenteeism and academic problems • Aggressive behaviours

DANGERS FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WHO BULLY OTHERS:

• Not knowing the difference between right and wrong • Delinquency and substance use • Academic problems and increased school dropout rate • Aggression • Sexual harassment and dating aggression • Gang involvement and criminal adulthood • Difficulties in their relationships with others • Being bullied at the hands of others

If you know someone who is being bullied...

• Find friends/students/youth or an adult who can help stop it.

• Befriend the person being bullied and lead them away from the situation.

• Report it to a teacher or school staff.

• Fill out an anonymous letter and drop it off to a teacher or any adult you trust.

YMCA of Okanagan

ADULTS: If you know or think that a child is a victim of bullying...

• Talk to them - Let them know that they can trust you and that they shouldn’t deal with bullying alone.

ALPINE Pet Hospital

HELP THEM: • document the bullying; • report unwanted text messages to their telephone service provider, or cyberbullying to social media sites; • report the bullying to school administrators; and report criminal offences, such as threats, assaults, harassment and sexual exploitation to the local police detachment.

Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying involves the use of communication technologies such as the Internet, social networking sites, websites, email, text messaging and instant messaging to repeatedly intimidate or harass others.

CYBERBULLYING INCLUDES: • Sending mean or threatening emails or text/instant messages.

• Posting embarrassing photos of someone online.

• Creating a website to make fun of others.

• Pretending to be someone by using their name.

• Tricking someone into revealing personal or embarrassing information and sending it to others.

Cyberbullying affects victims in different ways than traditional bullying. It can follow a victim everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from school, to the mall and all the way into the comfort of their home - usually safe from traditional forms of bullying.

Gardening is back with a great early start The trip to the North West Flower and Garden Show is over for another year and everyone got home safely with loads of ideas to get going in our gardens.

We are being blessed with some of the nicest early spring weather we’ve had in quite a while so I’m taking advantage of it by getting started early with peas planted, garlic up and some cold crops growing in my cold frame.

I’ve also been having some fun with my grow lamp and hot pads and the little room adjacent to our kitchen is becoming a jungle indeed.

As I do every year I will be putting on some free gardening sessions at Byland’s Garden Centre beginning this Saturday, Feb. 28 at 1:30 p.m. Each session will run for two hours and I will have time for questions as well.

The first one will be Pruning Trees and Shrubs. This time of

From The Ground Up DON BURNETT

year I am inundated with pruning questions so I know this is a good one for you to take in. I cover shade trees both young and old, fruit trees, flowering shrubs and vines as well as roses and conifers. I always make sure when you leave my pruning sessions you have the basic knowledge to get out the pruning tools and not make a mess of anything.

The following Saturday, March 7, I will do a session on Planting Seeds and Cuttings when I take all the experience I’ve had growing commercially and pare it down to what a homeowner needs to save money by growing his or her own.

You don’t need a greenhouse or even a lot of room to do this, however the principles I present can be expanded to apply to anyone thinking bigger as well.

Some of the other workshops Byland’s will be putting on this spring include An Introduction to Fairy Gardening which is a wonderful way to get youngsters involved in gardening. Also a session on Growing Small Fruits and Berries in the Okanagan; Soils, Composting and Fertilizers; Lawn Care; Getting the Garden Ready and How to Plant your Own Hanging Baskets and Planters.

There is no charge for these sessions and there will be plenty of time for questions.

••• I’ve seen lots of inventory coming into the garden centres lately

including bulbs and tubers, seeds, gardening tools, fertilizers and soil so it’s time for a visit to get stocked up while the selection is at its best.

Also a reminder the Regional District green bin program is resuming now. What a great program this has been and it’s nice to know all our garden waste is being used to create composted mulch rather than go into the landfill like it used to. Check the City and Regional District websites for info on when it starts up in your particular area.

One last note and that is to encourage you to grow something this year for the food bank or even a neighbour or friend who doesn’t have a garden.

Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports Saturdays from 8 to 10 a.m. or log on at www.am1150. Don is also now on Facebook.

Central Okanagan Bursary and Scholarship Society (COBSS): Through the Years Have you ever wondered about the lasting impact of receiving a COBSS bursary or scholarship? Here is some insight on the power of generosity. In 1978, a wide-eyed and eager graduate of George Pringle Secondary won a scholarship for $250. This young lady went on to UBC to earn her Bachelor of Arts Degree and then a Master's Degree.

Her career unfolded as an instructor in Sociology and Women's Studies at Okanagan College and Okanagan University College. That same enthusiastic graduate, Louise Arkle, is now the President of the Central Okanagan Bursary and Scholarship Society (COBSS), the very same organization that helped her begin her post-secondary education.

COBSS was established in 1971 and is a non-profit group of volunteers from the Central Okanagan area who are dedicated to providing financial assistance to Grade 12 graduates, in order that they may further their post-secondary education. COBSS grew from a need to help young people pursue their education and training beyond secondary school. The expenses of post-secondary studies continues to increase and the impact of bursaries and scholarships is now more tangible than ever.

Thanks to the generous contributions of donors, this past year COBSS allocated 514 awards, totaling over $378,000. In the past thirteen years, a staggering $4.8 million, contributed by local donors, has been distributed through COBSS to a wide variety of deserving students in our community. These students are going on to put their bursaries towards their studies in trades, technical schools, colleges and universities. The responses from students confirms that receiving an award through COBSS is very significant to them:

Emily, a Mount Boucherie Grad writes: The COBSS bursary that I received definitely helped me start off my post-secondary education with a financial advantage. I really appreciate the award I received, for it helped me to start my university degree with some financial security.

I also particularly enjoyed our award ceremony during high school, it’s a night I’ll always remember and appreciate.

Danielle, a Rutland Senior Grad writes: Being a recipient of a COBSS bursary has allowed me to get the post-secondary education I've always wanted and pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. I am so thankful for my COBSS bursaries as they gave me the opportunity to focus full time on my studies without worrying as much about my financial situation. COBSS is an amazing organization and helps so many students achieve what they may have never thought possible. I am currently in my fourth year and will graduate in 2016 as a fully certified teacher. I am so thankful for COBSS' contribution to my academic journey and am so proud to have received one of their bursaries.

It is clear, that little group, called COBSS, which began in 1971 to help a few local graduates, has evolved into an incredibly significant non-profit organization, that helps hundreds of students, from Oyama to Peachland, realize their educational goals and dreams. If you would like to find out more about COBSS or would like to become a donor, please visit our website at www.cobss.ca. You'll be making a great investment!

objectives.

“When the opportunity arose for us to play a part in supporting the rejuvenation of the trades training complex here in Kelowna, we wanted to show in a bold way just how important we feel it is for students to have a learning environment that is ahead of the curve, vibrant, and that reflects Okanagan College’s commitment to sustainability,” explained Grisch.

The community should take note of what the OC students have done, noted Alf Kempf, president of the Okanagan College Foundation.

“To have our students step forward like this and say, ‘We want to help make the college an even better place…we want to help build a space that benefits not just our class but all the students that follow us,’ that says a lot about our students.”

Jim Hamilton, president, (from left) Okanagan College; Tom Styffe, chair, Okanagan College Board of Governors; Alf Kempf, president, Okanagan College Foundation; and Chelsea Grisch, executive chairperson, Okanagan College Students’ Union which donated $100,000 towards the trades training complex.

powerful message that Okanagan College students see the value of this new learning facility and want to step up and play an active role in building it,” added Grisch.

“We hope it will inspire others in the community to give to the campaign and support students.”

The college acknowledges the significance of its students stepping up to support not only their education, but the education of those students who will follow in their footsteps, said Hamilton.

“They are contributing to the students and the generations to come,” he said. “That speaks very highly to their character, to the value they place on postsecondary education, and to the value they place on being a part of this community—both now and in the future.”

While the three-storey trades training complex will enhance the physical profile of the college along KLO Road, it was the college’s commitment to sustainability and reducing its environmental footprint through an innovative design that motivated OCSU to support the project.

The building is aiming to meet both the Living Building Challenge and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum

✃

The profile of Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus along KLO Road will change significantly over the next year and the Okanagan College Students’ Union is showing support for the new complex that will elevate the region as a hub for trades training.

The OCSU has pledged $100,000 towards the Bright Horizons, Building for Skills fundraising campaign that supports the renovation and expansion of the trades training complex at Okanagan College.

“After supporting the Centre of Excellence at the Penticton Campus a few years ago, seeing how that building came together and the impact that it has had for students as a place to grow and succeed… that really inspired us to get behind this project,” says Chelsea Grisch, executive chairperson of the Okanagan College Students’ Union.

“We are very proud and appreciative of the fact that our students have chosen to invest in the future of their college,” added Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton.

Golf to RV park Kelowna city council likes the idea of a Mission area golf course replacing its 18-hole executive course with a 30-40 stall RV park.

The owners of Michaelbrook Golf Course, which is located near to the Mission Recreation Park and the H2O Aquatic Centre, are seeking approval from the province’s Agricultural Land Commission to allow the change because the land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

But first it required support from Kelowna council.

It received that Monday, with Coun. Luke Stack appearing to speak for his fellow council members when he said

he liked the idea.

“I think it is an idea that’s out of the box,” said Stack.

“It’s right in the middle of a large recreation area that will attract many of the RV people.”

He said with a natural buffer around the site and it being close to the recreation park which regularly hosts large sports tournaments in the summer months, the location for RVs is perfect.

It will also help provide a place to stay for RV users who want to avail themselves of the area’s agri-tourism offerings.

The city attached some rules to the zone that would cover the park if the ALC allows it.

The park would

Stuart Park rink closes

only operate from the beginning of May to the middle of October and only allow users to stay for a maximum of onemonth at a time.

That, said city environmental manger Todd Cashin, would stop it from becoming a yearround residence for those choosing to live in an RV. Mayor Colin Basran described the golf course location as “perfect for this type of operation.”

He noted that participants in sport tourism often like to stay on, or near the site where their tournament is taking place.

The proposal will go to the ARC with the full backing of Kelowna council.

The skating rink at Stuart Park closed for the season yesterday morning.

“With warmer daytime temperatures and sunny days we have experienced several afternoon closures since Feb. 18,” said Steve Fagan, City of Kelowna arenas and stadiums supervisor.

charges of importation of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The Kelowna woman allegedly had 35 kilograms of cocaine in a secret compartment of her Volkswagon Jetta, when she was caught July 26, 2014 at the Waneta port of entry near Trail.

Supt. Brad Britton said they don’t believe that Gladdish was acting alone, however, no other arrests have been made.

It’s also unclear what south-of-the-border city, or even country, the drugs originated from.

He also couldn’t say where Gladdish’s alleged drug connection

The woman caught the attention of border service guards when they noticed an irregularity in her trunk, said Lorne Black, chief of the CBSA. Using a fiberscope, the agents then found numerous green-wrapped bricks.

A little more probing showed that an illicit substance was within.

According to Brian Gately of the RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime Unit, tens of thousands of doses of coke have been taken out of commission.

“RCMP Federal policing and CBSA collaborative regularly to target cross border criminal activity,”

said Gately.

“This effective partnership prevented a significant amount of harmful and illegal drugs from entering Canada and reading the streets of our community.”

The bust is the largest haul in the history of the Kootenays, police noted.

Last year, B.C. border serves officers seized 294 kilograms of cocaine through land, air and marine points.

The idea behind the class project is for students’ to help make a positive difference in the lives of their peers, reinforcing the message

of the anti-bullying Pink Shirt Day campaign in schools, said their teacher Bruce Watts.

Two of the videos were targeted to an elementary school audience, with them being circulated to Central Okanagan elementary schools.

Among the other Cyber Series student film submissions, one also addressed the challenges transgendered students face.

Ashley Kimler was one of four students who worked on the film short called Cheater, along with Lauryn Guy, Taylor Ruhr and Julianne Nelson.

Kimler said completing the project became more work than she originally anticipated, dealing with a script and visual ideas.

“We were trying to be creative and we found it was a lot more work than just going out and shooting some footage and editing it,” Kimler said.

“I would do it again, it was fun and I really enjoyed it, but it was more work than I thought it would be.”

Kimler said she and her co-producers spent time over a three-month period working on the final result.

New K-12 director of instruction hired

Visit + ‘Like’ the facebook page of all merchants advertised here for your chance to win $250!

The Central Okanagan Board of Education has confirmed the appointment of Vianne Kintzinger as the school district’s new director of instruction for kindergarten to Grade 12.

Kintzinger is filling the job vacancy created by the planned retirement in March of Norm Bradley, the current director.

Kintzinger, currently the principal of Kelowna Secondary School, will officially begin her new role on March 16.

Kintzinger has worked in the Central Okanagan School District for the past 28 years. During that time she has held teaching and administrative positions at all levels from kindergarten to Grade 12.

She is also a past principal for both George Elliot Secondary in Lake Country and Hudson Road Elementary in West Kelowna.

Board of education chairperson Moyra Baxter said, “The board is pleased that an administrator with Mrs. Kintzinger’s experience and knowledge will be joining the senior leadership team, and trustees look forward to working with Vianne in her new position.”

Hugh Gloster, school district superintendent, noted that Kintzinger has already been an important member of the leadership team in the district for many years.

“Her vast experience will serve her very well in the role of Director of Instruction K to 12,” he said.

For her part, Kintzinger said she was “excited, honoured and felt very privileged” to join the district’s senior leadership team as “we work collaboratively with school communities to enhance student learning.”

No doubt that having a solid swing is essential to playing good golf but it is not the key to lower scores. The golf secret relies on knowing how to focus and manage your thoughts and emotions. Integrating mental techniques and the power of hypnosis to transform your game can drastically make a difference.

Sports Hypnotherapy is a cutting-edge sports technique of the most effective kind. Designed to make you feel relaxed and powerful on the course, hypnosis gets you in the high performance ZONE, gives you cast-iron mental strength with boosted confidence and focus. This jealously-guarded secret used by many elite athletes such as Tiger Woods is going to be available to you to be discovered.

What compounds in marijuana provide medical benefits to the human body?

There are over 400 compounds in medical marijuana, and of these, 80 can only be found in the cannabis plant. These 80 compounds are known as Cannabinoids. From these 80 Cannabinoids, there are 5 major cannabinoids in medical marijuana that are particularly effective at relieving symptoms of illness.

THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol) has anti-epileptic, antiinflammatory and anti-depressant properties, it also stimulates appetite and lowers blood pressure CBD (cannabidiol) can reduce pain, anxiety, nausea and has a sedative and anti-convulsive effect.

CBN (cannabinol) can lower pressure in the eye, such as with glaucoma, analgesic, anti-seizure.

CBC (cannabichromene) can provide a sedative, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.

CBG (cannabigerol) lowers pressure in the eye, is antiinflammatory, sedative and can assist with sleep.

Alone, none of the 5 major cannibinoids are as effective as when they work together.

On another note, please look up… US Patent 6630507 titled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants” which is assigned to the United States of America, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services. The patent was obtained in October of 2003.

Yet still today marijuana is scheduled as a drug that has no medicinal value.

Coaching Russians ‘rewarding’ for Ursel

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Given the choice, Bob Ursel would prefer to still be playing the game at the highest level.

Instead, an ailing knee has kept the former world junior champion from fully exercising his passion for curling since 2010.

In 2015, the 50-yearold Ursel is seeing

the game from a whole new—and vastly international— perspective.

Ursel was hired by the Russian Curling Federation last month

to coach the country’s national men’s program through to the end of the current season.

With Ursel providing guidance, the Russian team, skipped by 23-year-

Kelowna’s Bob Ursel (front) is the coach for Russia’s national men’s curling team, which competed this month at the World University Games in Spain. old Evegeny Arkhipov, finished second earlier this month at the World University Games in Spain.

Next month, the Russian champions will be in Halifax for the Ford World Men’s Curling Championship.

By Canadian standards, Russian players are hardworking and dedicated to the craft but still relatively inexperienced on the world curling stage.

Imported from curlingrich Canada, that’s where Ursel’s expertise comes in.

“The (Russian team) trains hard at the game, they’re in incredible physical shape, maybe superior to any curlers I’ve seen,” Ursel said of the Arkhipov rink. “They’re extremely nice people and very committed. What they lack is the tactical aspects of game, the strategy…that’s what I’m there to try and help them with.

“I’m really enjoying what I’m doing, working with these young guys has really been rewarding.”

language and cultural barriers between he and the Russians, Ursel said there have been virtually none to speak of.

“Communication is pretty good, the other coach’s English is good and a couple of the players can speak pretty well, too,” Ursel said.

“Curling is pretty much an English sport anyway, so terms like hack weight and bumper, those are pretty universal, so it’s not really a problem.”

While coaching Russia’s national team, Ursel said he’s been fortunate to meet many “great people” in Russian curling circles who have been both genuine and cooperative in their interactions with him.

As an added bonus, the assignment has taken Ursel places he never would never would have seen otherwise.

“It’s been amazing to go to Red Square and Moscow, to see Sochi and the Black Sea, getting to Spain for the world university games…these are things I never would have done,” said Ursel.

“On a personal level it’s

been very interesting, but it has been a sacrifice for my family. My wife (Leeanne) has really stepped up and made it possible for me to do this.”

A three-time B.C. men’s champion, Ursel’s most memorable and rewarding days on the ice have come from throwing rocks, making line calls and winning titles.

But serving as a mentor and coach for a group of young and talented Russian curlers runs a pretty close second.

“Competing is where my heart is, I miss the elite level of curling but coaching keeps me close to the game, just in a different role,” said Ursel, the 2008 provincial men’s champ. “So far, it’s been fun and a learning experience for me. It’s been great seeing these young men grow and perform.”

As for a possible long-term future with the Russian Curling Federation, Ursel said he’ll weigh his options at the end of the season. @capnewsports.ca

GREYSTOKE PHOTOGRAPHY

Future looks very bright for Heat women

Chandler Proch (left) and Katie Wuttunee will be among the key returning veterans next season for the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball squad.

Familiar foes face off Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

If familiarity breeds contempt, then the Kelowna Rockets and Victoria Royals couldn’t be blamed for developing a bit of a dislike for one another.

The WHL B.C. Division rivals will meet for the third consecutive time on Wednesday night at Prospera Place, and the fourth time in the last 12 days.

The league-leading Rockets and Royals are fresh off a split over the weekend in Victoria, where Kelowna won 3-2 on Friday before the Royals rebounded for a 5-2 win Saturday.

With the teams potentially meeting down the road in the post-

season, Rockets head coach Dan Lambert said his team might as well get used to their Vancouver Island opponents.

“It’s a bit of playoff feel when we play them because there’s a real good possibility we’ll be seeing them again,” said Lambert. “Ultimately, they’re a team we’re going to have to get through to have success, so I think it’s a good thing.”

Rockets No. 1 goaltender Jackson Whistle is likely to remain sidelined until at least this weekend and perhaps a little longer, according to Lambert.

The 19-year-old stopper hasn’t played since Feb. 6 after undergoing an appendectomy.

In Whistle’s absence,

rookie Jake Morrissey and Michael Herringer have combined for a 6-2 record.

The Rockets will travel to Vancouver Friday, then will return home Saturday to play host to the Calgary Hitmen.

ROCKET SHOTS…

If the Rockets (46-103-1) were to win their remaining 12 games, they would set a new franchise record for victories in a season.

Kelowna established a new standard last season with 57 wins…Rockets’ forward Leon Draisaitl has four goals and 10 assists in his last five games, while Tyson Baillie had four goals and 15 points in his last eight games.

Warriors end regular season Friday The West Kelowna Warriors will close out their BCHL’s regular season on Friday night at Royal LePage Place against the Surrey Eagles.

Face off is 7 p.m.

The Warriors, who are in the thick of the race for an Interior Division playoff spot, played host to the Trail Smoke Eaters on Tuesday night. A final score wasn’t available at Capital News press time.

West Kelowna is in a battle with Merritt and Salmon Arm for the third and fourth playoff spots in the division. One of the three teams will miss the post-season. Penticton and Vernon have already secured berths.

KELOWNA CHIEFS…

The Kelowna Chiefs will visit the Summerland Steam Thursday in Game 5 of their KIJHL Okanagan

Division first-round series.

The teams met in Game 4 on Tuesday night at Rutland Arena. A final score wasn’t available at press time.

Summerland won the series opener 3-2 on Friday, before the Chiefs bounced back for a 3-1 victory on Saturday.

On Sunday in Kelowna, the Steam romped to a 10-4 victory to take a 2-1 series lead.

For the second straight year, both a medal and a berth at the CIS national championship narrowly escaped the grasp of the UBC Okanagan Heat.

But even in defeat, head coach Steve Manuel couldn’t be prouder of the progress of the Heat women’s volleyball program and its players in just the fourth season of Canada West competition.

In their second consecutive appearance in the Final Four last weekend in Edmonton, UBCO came up short in the bronze medal match against the rival UBC Thunderbirds, losing in four sets (13-25, 25-20, 25-19 and 25-15). The top three teams are off

Capital

to nationals this week in Toronto.

The loss halted the most stellar season yet for the Heat who posted a regular season best 19-5 record and went into the postseason ranked No. 2 in the country.

“This team is doing unbelievable things, almost unimaginable things this early in our program and for us to be here again, second year in a row and to be three points away from advancing to the nationals on the first night and so close to getting it done,” said Manuel, whose team lost a five-setter to Trinity Western in the semis on Thursday.

“We’ve seen a constant

evolution of the program, we have gotten further than expected, and we fully expect that the same thing will happen again next year and the year after that the same thing will happen again,” Manuel said. “This is an amazing group of student athletes and we are not anywhere near done breaking records and turning heads in women’s volleyball.”

In the national rankings the team spent 12 of the 13 weeks ranked either No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3, spending two weeks as the top-ranked women’s volleyball team in the country.

The season also featured a 13-game winning streak and losses

to only four Canadian schools—three of which are headed to nationals.

And the future looks bright for the Heat.

The current squad is losing just one player, Myrte Schön, and will return everyone one of its starters—giving the head coach plenty of reason for optimism. Manuel believes his team’s best is yet to come.

“The team is very disappointed we did not accomplish all our goals.

We did not play are best volleyball this year (at the championships). Not even close. But big picture we are doing amazing things.

“We still need to learn how to win at this level at the end of the season.

Again that’s a process.”

DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

It had been nearly a decade since the Kelowna Owls had last won an Okanagan senior girls basketball championship.

The 2015 edition of the Owls took care of business on Saturday in Kelowna, claiming the school’s first valley title since 2006 when names like Buna, Radley and Heuser patrolled the hardwood.

After taking down South Kamloops in Friday night’s semifinals, the Owls followed up with a convincing 70-45 victory over Norkam in the championship game at RSS. Tournament MVP Courtney Donaldson paced KSS in the final with 21 points. Lindsay Nicholas added 13 points, Lexi Percival had 11, and Selma Kusterica pulled down 15 rebounds.

After somewhat tentative starts in both the semis and the final, head coach Lisa Nevoral said the Owls found their rhythm over the final 20 minutes.

Canada Games gold for West Kelowna duo Casorso earns SPORTS BRIEFS

all-star recognition

It’s been a memorable month for Kelowna’s Sarah Casorso.

Early last week, the 22-year-old defenseman ALLAN WISHART

It was hard to tell who had the tougher job on Friday at the Otway Nordic Centre: Jennah Smailes or Tekarra Banser.

The two West Kelowna biathletes were part of Team BC, which was favoured for the gold medal in the female nordic relay event at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

Tekarra would have the first leg of the relay, while Jennah was, “the cheerer today. I’m the extra member of the team.”

However, just because she wasn’t on the course, that didn’t mean Jennah wasn’t feeling the emotion.

“It was nervewracking,” she said after the team finished first to claim the gold medals.

“All I could do was cheer and scream my head off.

“You could watch the race progress, but you could only really see them on the (skiing course) at a few spots. I was always on the radio with the coach, ‘How did she shoot that round?’”

West Kelowna’s Tekerra Banser (left) and Jennah Smailes (far right) sing O Canada after receiving their gold medals Friday for winning the female biathlon relay for Team B.C. at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

In the case of Tekarra’s first round of shots, it wasn’t good news.

“I missed two of my shots from the prone position,” she said, “so I had to skate a couple of penalty loops. Then I just focused on skiing the best I could, powering up the hills, and not missing any more targets.

“There was a lot of pressure before the race. You could feel it.

It was just like a crazy environment here.”

Strong skiing helped Tekarra move up before she finished her leg and tagged off to Claire Lapointe of Prince George. Lapointe moved the team into first place before handing off to clubmate Emily Dickson for the anchor leg.

“You could hear the crowd cheering for us,” Tekarra said. “We all had confidence in each other.”

Both of them characterized the week

of being in Prince George for the Canada Winter Games as “amazing.”

“You might go to a dozen Nationals,” Tekarra said, “but there’s only one Games. It’s a totally different experience.”

Jennah agreed.

“The atmosphere has been crazy all week, the weather has been great, the course is terrific.

“It’s great to have the Games in B.C. so our parents and friends can come and cheer us on.”

OK Rockets host Cariboo this weekend On Saturday at CNC, the Rockets were limited to 14 skaters but still hammered out a 9-3 win. Nolan Kneen and Lucas Cullen were both away with Team BC

at the Canada Winter Games, while Connor Bowey, Jeffrey Schlegel, Try Doyon, and Marcus Mitchell were all injured.

The Okanagan Rockets will close out the B.C. Major Midget League season at home this weekend against the firstplace Cariboo Cougars.

The teams will face off Saturday at 3 p.m. at CNC, then again Sunday morning at 10.

The Rockets (22-124) are currently in fourth spot and by earning at least one point this weekend, would clinch fourth and home ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs.

The Valley West Hawks are currently sixth and could catch the Rockets only if they sweep their final two games and the Rockets lose both to Cariboo.

But with a sweep the Cougars, the Rockets could finish as high as third place.

After a stretch that saw them win just one of eight games, Okanagan rebounded over the weekend with a twogame sweep of the last place Thompson Blazers.

On Friday night in Kamloops, Zach Erhardt scored twice in a 5-1 Rockets win. Jordan Reynolds turned aside 29 of the 30 shots for his 11th win.

Canada West first-team all-star.

The captain and senior with the UBC Thunderbirds, Casorso lead all defencemen in conference scoring with eight goals and 21 points.

2014 Community Leader Awards

TOP HONOUR:

Gayanne Pacholzuk

HONOURABLE MENTION:

HONOURABLE MENTION:

Tim Light

RCMP Crime Analysts:

Tim Light has been a mentor to many firefighters in both his professional and personal life, which is why he’s an honourable mention in the emergency services category of the Community Leaders Awards.

According to his coworkers, the platoon captain of the Kelowna Fire Department has always been instrumental in coaching and guiding new members to the association.

He’s the first to step up to any challenge and donate time, not only responding to fire calls but nearly every single fundraising initiative the Kelowna paid on call fire fighters are working on.

His true passion is organizing the Kelowna Fire Fighters to give a day off back to the Boat for Hope, says Deputy Chief Larry Hollier.

“Tim has been the go-to guy for this event for numerous years and countless others,” said Hollier. “There is a term in the Fire Service, lead by example. Tim has truly lived by this term during his career with the Kelowna Fire Department and is an inspiration to many.”

Light was very low key about receiving the honour, noting that it’s part of the culture of the fire department to give back to the community and he’s happy to do so.

Sarah Palmer, Robin Fielding, Daniel Schinbein & Nicole Woods Next time you hear a news story about Kelowna’s shrinking crime rate, remember these four people. Robin Fielding, Nicole Woods, Daniel Schimbein and Sarah Palmer are crime analysts with the Kelowna RCMP detachment, and they’re charting a path to success.

“They’re a huge part of reducing crime in the community,” said Supt.

Nick Romanchuk.

Sgt. Ann Morrison explained that a large component of the local detachment’s Crime Reduction Strategy is that of the RCMP Crime Analyst unit. The unit collects, assembles, analyzes and interprets a wide variety of investigative and intelligence data to support ongoing police investigations, community policing and crime prevention strategies. This includes a statistical report which highlights crime trends, hotspots, prolific offenders and officer safety bulletins.

This data helps direct the efforts of the detachment to focus on key priority issues.

“They’re steering our ship for us,” said Sgt. Ann Morrison.

Each of these honourable mentions have been with the local RCMP from one to two years, and say that the work they’ve done is rewarding.

Summing it up for them all, was Sarah Palmer, who noted that job satisfaction comes from knowing the right people are being arrested.

Emergency Services

Gayanne Pacholzuk earned top honours in the Emergency Services category of the Community Leaders Awards because of a lifetime of public service.

Pacholzuk has been with the Kelowna Fire Department in some capacity since 1997 when she was hired as a paid on call member. Just a couple years later she became an airport firefighter then, in 2006 she started with the Prevention Branch as a Fire Prevention Officer.

Throughout her career changes she’s devoted countless hours to things like the KFD’s public open house, Wendy’s Dreamlift days, B.C. Firefighter’s Burn Camp, Tim Horton’s Camp Day, McDonald’s McHappy Day and the Kelowna Firefighters’ Calendar.

“You have to give back—you just do,” she said.

Volunteering is something that she learned from her mother’s example, and now she’s proud to say that her son has learned from her example, also dedicating personal time to causes that matter to the community.

And he’s not the only one who’s noticed what Pacholzuk’s doing for the community.

Her coworkers say she has a great outlook on her work and life in general, and is one of those people who is great to be around. “She always has a smile on her face and is genuinely a friend to all she meets,” said Lou Wilde, of the Kelowna Fire Department.

“All around Gayanne is a great asset to the City of Kelowna as an employee and to the people of this community and its citizens. She’s great role model to us all.”

Obituaries

ARNOLD P. BAUSLAUGH JULY 1, 1964 - FEB 5, 2015 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.

In Memoriam tributes to KGHF: http://tiny.cc/arn_memoriam OR kghfoundation@interiorhealth.ca OR 250-862-4438.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Woodworking magic from Eternal Timber & Design Just before my fiancée and I moved to Kelowna last October, I had done a huge Internet search on the plethora of design-related businesses and suppliers in the city.

To my sheer delight, I stumbled upon a fabulous family-run, local company that designs and builds amazing solid wood furnishings and architectural elements.

If you haven’t heard of this newish outfit (it opened just shy of March in 2014), I wouldn’t be too surprised... they’re one of the Okanagan’s best kept secrets!

MASTER WOODWORKER Shawn and Carlee Wiebe are the brilliant husband and wife team behind Eternal Timber & Design.

On any given work day, you’ll find Carlee at their spacious, fully-stocked showroom running the day-to-day of small business life.

Nestled in amongst some pretty high-end neighbouring businesses that also cater to the design and renovation sectors, Eternal Timber & Design is one of the first companies to set a stake in the newly developed Airport Business Park in Kelowna on Innovation Road.

While Carlee mans the showroom, Shawn is out making the magic happen.

Originally from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta, Shawn Wiebe began his career in the framing industry, before his passion for timber post and beam design eventually steered him out of home building and into more of a creative and freelance opportunity.

ers alike with a penchant for organic, high-end interior wood details and furniture.

Shawn and Carlee Wiebe are the brilliant husband and wife team behind Eternal Timber & Desgn

Crispin Butterfield

With a move to Oyama in 2000, the Wiebes brought a sawmill with them to set up on their acreage, allowing for an increased ability to produce and work with large-scale timbers.

Initially designing and fabricating stunning exterior pergolas, staircases and decorative beam work for several local landscapers and home builders, Eternal Timber’s impeccable quality and eye for detail has not gone unnoticed by developers, designers or homeown-

REUSABLE & SUSTAINABLE DESIGN The stories behind the timber and slab furniture hand-crafted by Shawn make every piece unique.

Eternal Timber also buys the majority of their Douglas fir, maple, and Washington-area redwood from a Vancouver-based company that focuses on sustainable timber clearing methods.

The material the Wiebes hand-select and bring in has been cleared off developed property or from residential property with overgrowth, and resold to fabricators and woodworkers throughout British Columbia and neighboring U.S. States.

With a focus on local materials and production, Eternal Timber sources nearly all of their materials within the Okanagan area, and in collaboration with Middlebench Metal Works (local metal artist Roland Derks).

The Wiebes and Derks scour

local scrap yards to reclaim material for use as custom bases and hardware—all hand forged by Derks.

GORGEOUS FURNITURE You name it—Shawn has built it. Dining and bar tables with inlaid stone and metal, timber bedroom suites, shelving and kitchen island units, sliding interior barn doors, exterior terrace furniture, even large-scale office boardroom tables and reception millwork, and wine tasting tables.

Eternal Timber has an impressive client list that spans from auto dealerships, wineries, and corporate offices, to top builders, designers, and numerous homeowners throughout the Grande Prairie to Kelowna areas.

But the true passion for both Carlee and Shawn lies in the collaboration of working with their clients from start to finish.

The craft of taking an idea and hand molding it into a one-of-a-kind piece of living art is what makes Eternal Timber & Design a must-see destination spot, and incredible success story.

Stop in and tour their showroom at 1595 Innovation Rd., or check out their website eternaltimberanddesign.com.

homebuying

Of Prime Interest: Pre-approved mortgage Notaries bust common home buying myths Getting your mortgage pre-approved will let you know what kind of house you’ll be able to afford.

It will make the search for your home easier and less time-consuming and will definitely help your realtor or developer know what type of property to show you.

To get your mortgage pre-approved, you will need: • Your personal information, including identification, such as your driver’s license, if needed.

• Details on your job and proof of your salary. In the majority of cases, that will entail a letter of employment from your current job, along with your two most recent pay stubs.

• You many also have to provide your Notice of Assessment from Canada Revenue from your last income tax

remittance to show no income taxes are owing.

• Information about your bank accounts, financial assets (what you own), current loans, credit cards and other debts (what you currently owe); How much your down payment will be and where the money is coming from.

• Proof that you have sufficient funds to cover the costs of closing the sale, such as legal, appraisal fees and property transfer tax.

• A credit check to prove your credit worthiness.

One of the benefits of utilizing a mortgage consultant is they can carry out the credit check process without your credit rating being adversely affected.

That single credit check can be sent

to more than one lender thereby alleviating you, the borrower, having to go to different financial institutions and having more than one credit check done.

Interest rates are guaranteed for up to 120 days, depending on which lender we submit an application to.

That should give you plenty of time to find the home you are looking for and get the final approval for a mortgage.

This will also give your real estate agent time to search for properties in your price range.

In the event you find a lot to build a home on, it will also give you time to find a builder who can supply you with the construction cost.

We can’t stress enough that a pre-approval is just that, a “pre”-ap-

proval. Once you have found a suitable property within your budget we still have to acquire the “final” approval from the lender.

And if you’ve retained a mortgage broker to help with this process, it should be expedited in a much quicker fashion.

But again, the first step to approaching a realtor or developer is to get pre-approved which will give you confidence in knowing you are finding a property within your budget.

B.C. Notaries are already seeing signs of a strong spring real estate market on the horizon.

With record low interest rates continuing for the foreseeable future, first-time home buyers and investors are increasingly attracted to the market.

The B.C. Real Estate Association recently reported the total sales dollar volume for January 2015 has increased 8.3 per cent compared to the same time last year, with 4,377 residential units sold province-wide.

It is predicting modest overall annual increase of 2.4 per Of Prime Interest is a collaborcent this year. While growth in Northern B.C. and the Kooation of mortgage professiontenay, Okanagan and Interior regions may be limited due als Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117; to the downturn in Alberta, this has no anticipated impact Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; on real estate markets in Greater Vancouver, Victoria, the and Christine Hawkins, 250-826Fraser Valley and elsewhere.

2001.

“Spring is just around the corner, and notaries are already seeing an increase in real estate transactions,”said Wayne Braid, CEO of The Society of Notaries Public of B.C. “Low mortgage rates, strong population growth, solid job markets, and retirees moving west to escape long winters are creating continued housing demand for homes and rental properties.”

B.C. Notaries provide conveyancing expertise on more than half of all real estate sales and purchases in B.C., and related real estate-related services to many home buyers and sellers. Aspiring new homeowners—whether young couples, singles, or families—often ask notaries for trusted guidance on their important purchase. As such, notaries frequently help dispel common real estate myths for their clients.

1. Myth: The high “average house price” for a specific region, like Vancouver, means the market is unattainable for the average buyer.

“In fact, the average house prices that you often read about in real estate studies are often skewed by housing sales in elite neighbourhoods in Vancouver,” said Daniel Boisvert, a notary public in Tsawwassen. “This can create the false impression that all houses are similarly priced and not affordable to young families and first-time buyers, which just isn’t true if buyers are willing to look at other neighbourhoods, different types of homes and nearby municipalities.”

2. Myth: A small hike in interest rates would make mortgage payments challenging and home buying inaccessible.

“Interest rates are so low right now that a small increase in MLS 10089879 MLS 10089881 mortgage rates wouldn’t increase one’s payments a significant amount,” said Derek Smoluk, Kamloops notary public.

3. Myth: A large down payment is required to buy a home.
