It’s not often world class ballerinas take the stage in small Canadian cities but the stars above the Okanagan are set to align, allowing for a night of brilliance. Ballet Kelowna has lured some of the New York City Ballet’s finest dancers west for an appearance at the Community Theatre. They’ll be premiering the Ashley Bouder Project, March 3, at 7:30 p.m. “We’re absolutely thrilled we have this caliber of dancer coming to Kelowna…these dancers from the NYC Ballet are some of the best in the world,” said
Simone Orlando, Ballet Kelowna’s artistic director and chief executive officer. Orlando, who has been with the local ballet less than a year, took it upon herself to bring something spectacular to the valley, and a little help was key to her success. “The stars did align on this one,” she said. She heard about Ashley Bouder’s potential availability through a friend who has a lasting connection to the Okanagan. Josh Beadish is one of Kelowna’s most successful exports, having traveled all over the world to choreograph for different ballet companies. He’s now based in London, England having

Ballet Kelowna’s presentation of a performance of the Ashley Bouder Project is the only time the ballet production by the New York City Ballet will be seen in Canada.
I had a short period of time to build a season and I contacted numerous companies across North America to see if they were available for a visiting series,” she said. “Because most companies book two to three years in advance, I kept getting, ‘No, we’re not available,’” she said. That’s where Beadish stepped in. He was aware of the challenges Orlando was facing, and one day he called to say there was a slight chance that the Ashley Bouder project may have a window to stage a local show. With a little effort, everything came together. In addition to Ashley Bouder, Kelowna ballet patrons will also be in the audience to see Beadish’s Rouge et Noir, performed by the
same top NYC Ballet artists. Orlando pointed out that the ballet dancers who will be taking the stage at the Community Theatre don’t often even leave New York. But, it’s not like they will be put off by the coziness of Kelowna. “I think the great thing about professional dancers is that no matter where they’re from, an audience is an audience, is an audience,” she said. “Being a professional dancer myself, I’d go from performing in the Kennedy Centre, to a high school gym in Nakusp in B.C. Every show has equal value. They’re out there to entertain.” Not every ballet is the New York City Ballet, though. “I think this is really a once in a lifetime
opportunity—and they’re coming to us, which is amazing,” she said. Orlando is also excited that Bouder shares a similar philosophy about engaging audiences when it comes to ballet. The Ashley Bouder Project offers An Exposé on Ballet Style, by highlighting the grand classical and neoclassical works by ballet legends Marius Petipa and George Balanchine— including excerpts from Don Quixote, Swan Lake, Agon and the Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux. It’s bound to help Ballet Kelowna gain inroads at breaking down the barriers between the audience and the company, something Orlando seems to have already made great strides toward. She just started Sept.
1, 2014 and subscriptions to the ballet are up 61 per cent over last year, membership is up and individual donations are also up. “I think people are excited about programming,” she said. The pressure, however, is on. Now that she’s delivered such a high caliber opportunity, Orlando will have to keep bringing exciting acts to the ballet. “It is a lot of pressure, but I’m looking forward to it,” she said. *** Tickets are available by phone at Kelowna Actors Studio Box Office 250-862-2867, or visit in person at 1379 Ellis St. (Box Office open Tues.Sat., 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) Adults: $73 // Students & Seniors: $63 // Children: $33

Each square of material is a different colour pieces with its own design and decorated in a unique way. Butterflies and inspirational sayings adorn the quilt and each square has been decorated by a resident. According to Calhoun, the butterflies signify beauty, love and freedom. She said the residents loved the idea of creating the quilt when it was put to them and they have been hard at work for the last few weeks. “When it came to the words and phrases, residents wanted to convey their life experiences and happy memories with their families as they lived their lives,” said Calhoun. Once the quilt is sown together it will be used as needed at the rest home. Earlier this week,the residents met to determine the final placement of their squares on the quilt, prior to it being taken away for sewing.

news _____________________________________________________________________ TRANSIT OPERATOR SAFETY
Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna regional transit, local bus drivers and city officials are all welcoming an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada that they say will help protect transit operators from attacks while on the job. The amendment, which will take away the ability of judges to give light sentences to anyone convicted of assaulting a transit operator—a move Les Milton, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1722, said is long overdue—went into effect Wednesday. “We’ve been working on this for 10 years,” said
Milton. “It’s long overdue. Milton said in the past, some people convicted of assaulting transit operators have received what he called a “light slap on the wrist.” “They have been back on the bus before the bus driver,” he said. The move to change the law comes two years after three serious incidents in the Central Okanagan involving attacks on bus drivers. In one, a driver was attacked with a syringe by a rider, in another a driver was attacked by an irate passenger while driving his bus on the Westside and suffered a broken jaw. The man wanted to get off the bus and was not
willing to wait until the next stop. Despite suffering the injury to his face, the bus driver managed to maintain control of the bus and bring it to a safe stop. In the third incident a driver was attacked outside his bus at a transit exchange. Ron Westlake, director of regional services for Kelowna and the vicechairman of the Canadian Urban Transit Association, which spearheaded the change to the Criminal Code, said hopefully the amendment will act as a deterrent to anyone intent on harming a transit operator or taxi driver anywhere in Canada.

Cracking down on bus driver assaulters
Transit rider Jakob Rahn enters the No. 7 bus at the Orchard Park mall bus loop, a busy place for riders and buses in Kelowna. He noted the push for the change to the federal Criminal Code,which was proposed as a private members bill by Sen. Bob Runcimen and had the backing of all parties in the House of Commons, also had the support of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. In the Lower Mainland, the issue of transit operator safety has been in the news a lot because of the high number of attacks on Translink operators. Bill Harding, general manager of First Transit
Kelowna, the company that operates the Kelowna Regional Transit system, said his company was very pleased with the Criminal Code change. He said while training is provided to drivers here to avoid altercations with upset riders and other members of the public, something needed to be done to serve as a deterrent. He noted it is not just the driver whose safety is in danger as a result of such assaults, passengers on the bus could also be affected, especially if

the bus is moving like it was during the Westside assault in 2013. The safety of people outside the bus could also be affected if the driver loses control of his bus. “We are really happy to see this legislation,” said Harding. On the street, Kelowna-area bus drivers are also welcoming the federal move. John Klassen has been driving a bus in Kelowna for eight years and said he would welcome any measures to improve safety for drivers.
While he noted the majority of passengers are respectful, sometimes riders can be threatening, especially if the person is impaired. Meanwhile, while B.C. Transit said last fall it was planning to install surveillance cameras on Kelowna-area buses, Milton said drivers here are still waiting. He said no time frame has been given for the promised installation. Last fall, a passenger

Early wake-up for orchards Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelowncapnews.com
The average Okanagan resident may be revelling in the record breaking warmth of February, but the valley’s fruit growers are a little less pleased. “The weather has been causing some concern… this is the last week of February and the lilacs are starting to bush and I can see that coloured hue in the peaches next door,” said Fred Steele, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association. “The sap is starting to run and the trees are starting to wake up.” One potential problem

with the reawakening is that March could bring winter back with a heavy frost, and those now vulnerable trees won’t be able to withstand the change. “Back in the winter of 1949, we had double digit temperatures in daytime and then double digit below zero in the evenings,” Steele said, noting that was back in the days of Fahrenheit. “It killed thousands of trees. Split them right in half.” The other potential problem of escalating warmth is that the growing season could be adversely affected. There are times in the growing season where you get that heat, and everything slows down to a crawl,” he said.
“It’s when the temperature drops down again, they grow and change colour.” Both size and colour impact the buying price of a crop. And then there are issues about timing sprays, and life cycle of the bugs that plague trees. “Basically this is an unsettled year—we don’t know what’s coming,” he said, pointing out that crop insurance is particularly important this year. In the meantime, farmers are hoping temperatures will cool down to seasonal norms, and little rain will follow. They’re also going to enjoy what’s turned out to be a particularly pleasant pruning season.
“The reason for (the warm month) is a broad scale upper ridge sitting over B.C,” said Lisa Coldwells, a meteorologist with Environment Canada. That upper ridge works sort of like an umbrella for the Southern Interior, she explained. It’s pushing up warmer temperatures from the southern part of the province while shielding the region from weather across the mountain ridges that separate it from Alberta. It’s meant that Kelowna had record breaking temperatures throughout the month. On Feb. 6 the temp was 11.6 C, which broke a record of 5.7 C on the same day in 2009. Next, on Feb. 8 mercury rose to 12.1 C, and broke the record of 8.6 C set

Treatment for Chronic Foot Pain Available in Kelowna
P
ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis). Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.
success, it gives up and healing stops. Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic
Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used.

Kelowna filmmaker Carey Missler says he owes his first ever movie award to the namesake of his now award-winning documentary The Paddler Movie. Missler’s film, which explores the topic of water conservation through the eyes of Kelowna stand up paddler Bob Purdy, was given an award of excellence by the Canadian International Film Festival. Missler and Purdy will attend the festival in April in Vancouver to claim the award. “It’s amazing, now that the movie is done I keep getting surprised by the feedback I’m getting and now we’ve won this award,” said Missler. “I credit this whole award to Bob. I was just the guy behind the scenes putting the story together. He is an amazing guy and his actions should be credited.” For more than four years (over 1,500 days now) Purdy has stand up paddled each and every day for a movement he started called Paddle for the Planet, attempting to raise awareness about people’s impacts on the environment.

Lake Country hoping CN will extend purchase deadline Kevin Parnell staff reporter
Lake Country residents in favour of purchasing the CN Rail corridor in their community may not have had their say in the district’s Alternative Approval Process, but they have been flooding Lake Country municipal hall this week pledging support for the acquisition. Lake Country Mayor James Baker is convinced by the reaction that residents would approve the district’s attempts to purchase part of the rail corridor if a referendum is
held on the matter. “We’ve had an overwhelming outpouring of people who are shocked and dismayed it didn’t go through,” said Baker this week of the e-mails and phone calls the district has received. “They don’t understand why even 960 people would be against it. But there was a pretty concerted effort to make it unpalatable in the end by the (no) group going around. It only took 10 per cent and they got that by going after people and asking if they want to pay more taxes. But if you think about
what they said no to, it was no vision, no future, no potential for a great community asset.” Baker said the district went to the AAP as opposed to a referendum for a few reasons. It was thought there would not be much opposition to the purchase plan, which only proposed about a 1.68 per cent tax hike for 20 years. The AAP also came with no cost as opposed to between $10,000 and $15,000 to hold a referendum. And the timing to hold a referendum also didn’t work to get an answer before a potential
deal between the municipalities and CN Rail is supposed to close on March 31. But now Baker says it’s incumbent on CN to allow for an extension of the closing date for the district to hold a referendum and give everyone in the community a voice. “A referendum is really our only option, so if CN is serious about trying to help communities,” they will allow the extension,” he said. “If they think they could get more by selling it piece-meal, that might be their strategy. We’re
waiting to hear if we can have an extension. I’m hopeful because this is a major milestone in Lake Country’s future.” It’s expected the soonest a referendum could be held is early May. Baker also said allowing Kelowna to purchase the entirety of the line
through Lake Country is not an option he would like to see. Under the proposed deal, Kelowna was going to purchase about half of the line for $2.6 million and allow the district to pay it back over time. Baker says Lake Country must own the corridor that runs through
its boundaries. “We certainly don’t want 16 kilometres of our community owned by Kelowna so we have to figure out some way of getting this done,” said Baker. “I think the possibility is still there.” @KP_media1
West Kelowna drops DCCs Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Despite repeated attempts to defer the motion, West Kelowna council has approved a plan to reduce development cost charges in Westbank Town Centre in a bid to kick start development there. Considered a lastditch effort to spur development in the former commercial centre of West Kelowna, the district’s council decided to reduce DCCs there for the next three years. “It’s short-term pain for long-term gain,” said Mayor Doug Findlater earlier this week. Despite his desire to gather more information and be more “transparent,” as well as objections from one presenter who slammed council for what he called a lack of public consultation on the issue, all members of council except for Findlater and Coun. Rosalind Neis voted in favor of proceeding. Opponents to the DCC holiday claim it amounts to little more than a shift in taxation from developers to the general public. That move followed three attempts—by Neis, Coun. Rusty Ensign and Coun. Carol Zanon to defer the motion in order to give staff more time to study the option and report back to council. But when all three attempts failed, in two cases by council votes and the other because no one would second Neis’ deferral motion attempt, Findlater refused to accept any more deferral attempts. “It’s clear (what is) the intention of council,” he
said. Presenter Michael Budd accused council of rushing into the DCC reduction. “I don’t feel rushed at all,” said Coun. Duane Ophus, echoed by Couns. Bryden Winsby and Rick De Jong. Budd also questioned the claim the move was supported by the district’s Advisory Planning Commission, saying the support was offered without the APC being given all the relevant information. Under the new incentive, developers will be given a break on the level of DCCs they have to
pay when building in the Westbank Town Centre, depending on the density they are providing. DCCs are used to pay for municipal infrastructure needed to support development and growth in an area such as sewers, water lines other utilities, roads, sidewalks and parking. Opponents of the district’s plan say reducing them only in Westbank means taxpayers throughout the district will have to pick up the costs that should be borne by all developers. But Findlater argued that while that may be the case at the start,
new development could lead to even more development and that in turn would increase revenue to the district. Council limited the length of time the reduction will be offered to three years and decrease that if it finds there is no uptake of the incentive. Budd produced an opinion he said he received from the communities ministry in Victoria saying the move appears to go against the government rules. Council said it would speak with the official but believes the move is allowed.

Sharon Noble • Why did the WHO declare RF a 2b carcinogen, you ask. Firstly, it was classified not as a carcinogen, but as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”—group 2B. In the IARC classification system, 2B is the weakest

When one of my besties dropped her Grade 1 age son off at school Kathartic Wednesday with his pink T-shirt on, two boys sneered, made some sly comment about it, and she watched KATHY him shrink under the intangible MICHAELS weight that awful people put on decent people. She ignored the boys and told their teacher, quietly on her way out the door, what happened. She was quite confident it would be dealt with appropriately. You know, kids “tease,” said one of her Facebook friends, weighing in on the matter. Not long after that story was brought to my attention, one of my co-workers had another antibully shirt story to tell. He went off to the mall yesterday in his pink top and had someone yell “fag” at him as he was walking by. A knuckle dragging adult, who likely liked to “tease” strangers when he was a child. Both stories left a bad taste in my mouth, but perhaps more importantly reinforced my decision to never have my child engage in anything that encourages thoughtless compliance. Beyond the waste/it-is-just-marketing/how-manydollars-go-to-charity issues that spring from pink, it’s my humble estimation that whenever everyone gets behind a photo-op-your-social-ills-away model, the battle has been lost.

the two kids who started the movement were doing. They were doing something truly special and unique. Look up the origins of pink shirt day if you’re not familiar and think about what it took for them to do what they did. From my view it can be summed up as independence, confidence and creative thought. Things that are in short supply these days, in large part because it’s easier to maintain compliance than it is to manage confidence. There are, after all, social imperatives at play. When I was a teacher overseas, I remember being shocked by the sight of social hierarchies repeatedly taking shape before my eyes—it was oftentimes all a bit too Lord of the Flies for my liking. When I was a child, which was much longer ago, I remember thinking an awful lot about how to navigate a new social environment, and avoid the pitfalls of those naturally evolving social hierarchies. If there’s anything a kid who had to move every few years knows, it’s that in the first week of school they will act as a beacon to two types of people— the loneliest and the meanest. The loneliest, because a fresh face means a fresh start. Who knows what their problems to that point have been, certainly not the new kid. So, understandably, they want to make friends.

The meanest, because there is something innately awful about humanity and those who have found a small amount of power always want to protect it. The latter, of course, are who we now refer to as bullies. And, while I was blessed to not be bullied as we moved from town to town, I like everyone else, have been grazed by encounters with their kind. Encounters that my big mouth and stubborn disposition often helped with. Regardless, the best way to deal with these human aberrations is to not think like a pod person. Independent thought and confidence are so important in every circumstance of every day, and our differences should always be celebrated. But, above all else, young people need to understand the benefits of good, fair and kind behaviour and to be vigilant in protecting that for both themselves and others. I believe that the number of good people out there far outweigh the number of nasty ones. I believe that the nasty ones probably just have emotional problems that they need to work out on their own time. I believe that parents, teachers and everyone else need to talk about the things that fuel confidence, free thought and kindness every day. Every. Day. Those lessons will last forever, and won’t clog a landfill.

Bullying by hockey parents not Canadian way To the editor: To all the hockey people out there: I have become disheartened by what I see happening in our hockey rinks during our children’s league games. As a society, we are desperately trying to eliminate bullying from our school system and our children’s lives. As parents, we want to protect our children from this harmful behaviour, but I would argue that bullying is happening in the hockey rink at the parental level. Why do some parents think it is OK to act in this manner—the exact behaviour that we are trying to thwart? I do not want to say all parents act badly, but the ones that do, damage our hockey reputation. We are Canadians—we love hockey—so why can we not enjoy the games at the minor hockey level for what they are— the good and the bad, and the excitement in between. Not all children are born natural hockey players, but all have the right to play. Some excel and some stay in the middle or at the bottom of the skill level. Yet, they all want to play and have fun. They love being part of a hockey team, but they do not need to be subjected to the negative comments and bullying tactics of parents up in the stands. They need to hear constant encouragement and celebrations for both the wins and losses. It is not always about the win. Yet, the win can become the parental priority. I hear parents yell at the children, groan in frustration as mistakes are made, ask coaches to limit ice time of more novice players, insult the referees, over-celebrate wins with noise makers, and this list could go on and on and on. My wish is that this stops before parents lose their rights to attend their children’s games. How sad it will be to simply drop your child off at the rink for his/her game, then have to drive away. Stop the hockey bullying. Shannon Desilets, Kelowna
NO DOG CONTROL

Bullying Traffic light timing from continues ‘horse drawn into adult life carriage’ days To the editor: Kelowna is the fastest growing city in, at least, Canada. Yet it is nearly impossible, during the majority of the day, to get through more than two lights without coming up on a red light. We tend to leave one red light, and just as we get up to the speed limit, without gunning it, we come up on a just turning yellow light. I drive professionally, I see it daily. We are purporting to be a ‘green’ city and province, yet we likely create the most pollution due to our inefficient green light timing, as well as the insane number of idiots (mostly big dumb pickup truck drivers) that need to leave their cars running for the two to 10 minutes they need to be in the store. And any ‘traffic study’ involving students counting cars, will not effectively gauge traffic flow in the city. We have a highway running through the city. Yet we have green light timing of a horse drawn carriage hamlet. Patrick Bonar, Kelowna
Beautifiers need extra hands To the editor: Kings Garden on the Rails and Trails is seeking assistance from the community. Six years ago my friend and myself started out with a vision to bring life and beauty to a desolate place between Spall Road and Hardy Street, directly behind Meadowbrook condominiums. It was just a dusty, dirt road surrounded by weeds and rock. The vision has grown immensely since the opening of Rails and Trails. The garden is a labour of love and enjoyment to the community as they walk, run and ride along this pathway. We have been able to bless the community with bouquets of flowers over the past five years.
Opinions remain entrenched SMART METERS FROM A10 category still indicating that a carcinogenic effect is ‘possible.’ Nothing is said about the magnitude of risk to the public. The classification “possibly carcinogenic to humans” refers only to personal exposure from wireless phones. This classification is not possible for other sources such as environmental or occupational exposures, such as wi-fi, cellphone towers, smart meters, etc. Tom Whitney • Sorry Tom Whitney but I do think they could all be wrong. You conveniently gloss over and downplay the important bits. It has been classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”, so let’s go and stick one on every person’s home without regard for any cumulative effect. Who cares about those who might be more sensitive to this type of radiation, they can move or die.
To the editor: Wednesday Feb. 24 was Pink Shirt, Stop Bullying Day. On this day I encouraged people to not only wear a pink shirt, but to be brave and stand up to any and all bullies in their midst. I know from experience that bullies don’t stop bullying until confronted. Bullying doesn’t just happen in school either. I am over 50 years old and am still being bullied to this day by my neighbours and my Regional District. I have been subjected to hours of barking for the past five years, despite having a dog bylaw against barking for more than five minutes. None of my neighbours will complain about the barking and I am told that I need another neighbour to complain. I keep reporting and nothing is done. How anyone can stand to listen to 5 1/2 hours of two dogs howling and barking is beyond me. The other two dogs are at large chasing and barking at wildlife most nights. Nobody seems to care about the dogs or the wildlife they chase. Because I keep complaining and getting upset about nothing being done, I am told by my Regional District that my behaviour has to change, before I get any dog control. Bullying is rampant in my life. Sharon Schnurr, Kelowna
Peter Day • Sharon Noble says “The scientific evidence is overwhelming.” It is not! And of course she hauls out the old lead and DDT comparison. The 2B classification is about possible cancer causing agents not poisons. Lead and DDT will poison you long before they might give you cancer. And using the HIV virus is just plain old nonsense scare tactics. Derek Ward • The evidence is quickly mounting that these not so smart devices have serious health, privacy, safety, financial, and security issues. I learned a great deal from the non-industry funded experts on http://EMFsummit.com/. They are describing our overexposure to electromagnetic radiation as the biggest health threat humanity has ever faced. Alison Heath

and Ross. “The tour allowed us to share something with a lot of people in the community which they might not have otherwise experienced,” continued Ross. “It showed people what we truly do— adults and young adults performing for kids and families.” The outreach tour complemented another of Bumbershoot’s initiatives, in-school residency programs, in which the company becomes part of a school’s programming to help teachers achieve their goals. During many of these programs, a performance is crafted with the students and presented to parents and family at the conclusion. As a local nonprofit organization, Bumbershoot is also active with its own productions, including the upcoming presentation of “Ivy & Bean: The Musical” in mid March at their theatre at 125-1295 Cannery Lane. Before that, Bumbershoot will again collaborate with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, this time in their “Your Story at the Symphony” family matinee on Saturday, March 7, at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Prior to the OSO show, Bumbershoot will present a SoundPlay experience in the neighbouring Black Box Theatre. Yet another coming event will be a DoorStep Sound performance by local musicians at the Bumbershoot Theatre on Saturday, organized by local young artist Antony Knight.

Cycling access solution evasive
Bicycle racks around the UBCO campus sat mostly empty this week, as the debate over the use of Curtis Road by the UBCO community once again flared up. A safe, legal cycling route to the UBCO campus has been a problem with no solution since the university took over the campus in 2006. Until recently, nearly 200 cyclists accessed the campus daily via Curtis Road around Robert Lake. This route has always been a point of contention between property owners and UBCO, but commuters continued to use the route because there are no safe alternatives. Now the UBCO cycling community, made up of students, faculty and staff, are asking the City of Kelowna and the UBCO to find an immediate solution to this years-old issue.
“We are a campus of nearly 10,000 people,” said Rebecca Tyson, a faculty member at UBCO who speaks for the campus cycling community. “If hundreds of us want to ride to campus, that takes a lot of cars off the road each day. Isn’t that what a city, a university and a society that values sustainability should be supporting?” Tyson said there are two legal ways of accessing the campus, but says that neither is a safe, year-round alternative to the Curtis Road route. The first route is the highway, which takes cyclists over a bridge that has a shoulder that measures just 12 inches wide. Consequently, any cyclist crossing the bridge takes up some of the space in the righthand lane. A flashing sign has been installed to warn motorists of a
cyclist on the bridge, but Tyson says this measure is inadequate. “I don’t know of any bicycles or cyclists that measure just 12 inches wide,” said Tyson. “When a cyclist is forced into the car lane, it means they are sharing the lane with semi’s, buses and cars that can be going up to 100 km an hour. If you add in snow or nasty weather, this makes a scary situation downright deadly.” The second option for cyclists to access the campus is a steep path that leads from Curtis Road up to a mountain biking path along the edge of a mountain just south of the campus. The grade is 35 per cent—steeper than any of the roads on Dilworth Mountain—and the footing is loose and uncertain. To reach the path, cyclists have to shoulder
their bike, complete with panniers holding the day’s supplies, and carry it up the 100-metre climb. Once up the hill, cyclists must traverse a narrow, twisty path that requires intermediate mountainbiking skills. “The Curtis Road residents could decide to share their road with cyclists and pedestrians, or the city and the university could work together to build a bike path across the university lands on the other side of Roberts Lake.” Tyson says progress on this option stalled after cost estimates were produced. There are some alternative routes in the works. Academy Way is under construction and should provide bikefriendly access to campus. It involves a long steep hill however, which will be daunting to many. John Hindle Drive is
expected to open in 2017, connecting the end of Glenmore Road to UBCO, and Rails to Trails
has been making slow progress over the last few years. “But neither of these
present an immediate solution to the UBCO safe-cycling route dilemma,” added Tyson.

Technology has turned us into lazy drivers I expressed excited optimism in my last column about automatic braking and other technologies that have a hope of finally putting a significant dent in our car crash epidemic. Two readers—Roger, a retired professional driver who has logged two to three million kilometres; and Andrew, a former client who is a victim of negligent driving—helped me recognize an irony about technology. The irony is that technology can be blamed for the car crash epidemic in the first place. Andrew referred me to the operation manual
Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT for a 1926 Model T Ford, found easily on the Internet. As Andrew pointed out to me, “You controlled virtually every aspect of this vehicle’s operation.” The car has become, in Andrew’s words, “automatic everything,” requiring less and less driver attention and effort. Technology has transformed the motor
vehicle from a machine that could not be operated without the full attention (and effort) of the operator, to one with effortless power steering and brakes, and cruise control. What naturally occurs when less and less attention and effort is required? Less and less attention and effort is applied. Andrew notes that at the same time, air bags, seat belts and other safety features like automatic braking has been “lulling us into a ridiculous
Customer Appreciation Days
complacency.” Big budget marketing campaigns are geared to convince us that this or the other make of automobile has the highest safety rating, the message being that if you buy that particular car, you won’t get into a crash. If you do, the crash won’t come with consequences. Are those marketing campaigns as dangerous and irresponsible as those for which tobacco manufacturers have been sued for promoting
smoking without clear warnings about the danger? Roger remembers: “When I started to drive (in Europe), there was no speed limit, there were no signs that indicate every little curve, there was one single centre line that you just did not cross when solid. Now we need concrete barriers, because a double or triple solid line does not mean anything anymore.” Roger’s opinion: “Personally I am against just about everything that has been brought in over
the years to make, what they say, driving safer for everybody.” He made this point: “…if you make something ‘idiot-proof,’ it does not take long before a bigger idiot shows up.” Andrew and Roger have helped me recognize the reality that technological advances in the operation of the automobile coupled with advances in road safety have made us correspondingly worse and worse drivers. It sure helps explain the ridiculous prevalence of
the rear-ender crash. Instead of putting a significant dent in our car crash epidemic, any automatic driving technologies short of a fully driverless car might just result in a previously unheard of low of idiot driving. Perhaps the sensible thing to do, until we live in the reality of the driverless car, is to bring back the Model T. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca
Street sweeping to start in West Kelowna The District of West Kelowna will begin street sweeping in the community starting the first week of March. Sweeping will begin in neighbourhoods with lower elevations, south of Highway 97, and will work upwards into the neighbourhoods that are at the higher elevations. Signs will be placed in neighbourhoods indicating when
sweeping is anticipated to begin and while street sweeping is underway. Sweeping will be conducted in school zones during spring break, between March 16 and 27. Residents are reminded to help ensure sweeping is effective and efficient by keeping roadways clear of parked vehicles and any other obstructions. Residents are also asked to
ensure their household recycling and waste loads are secure to help keep streets clear of debris. Sweeping is anticipated to take approximately six to eight weeks to complete. For more information, call 778-797-2225, email roads@ districtofwestkelowna.ca or visitdistrictofwestkelowna.ca/ streetsweeping.

Happy Canada Flag Birthday—if anyone really cares Canada’s national flag officially turned 50 last week, yet judging from the lack of celebration displayed across our giant country it appears few really care. Ironically, there was a lot more noise made by Canadians regarding our flag during various time periods in our history than there was on its recent
birthday. The ‘Maple Leaf,’ which consists of an 11-pointed red maple leaf within a white field at its centre and two red borders, was officially adopted in 1965 to replace our former flag. Before the Maple Leaf, the Canadian Red Ensign had been unofficially used since the 1890s.
This week’s feature:

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE The ensign became our officially recognized banner when it was approved by an Order in Council in 1945 for use “wherever place or occasion may make it desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian flag.” Despite that official proclamation, few
The foundaTion of my community starts with you and me . . .
Canadians truly embraced the decision, feeling like the flag was really nothing distinct or unique to their young nation. Many felt the new country deserved its own unique pennant. After decades of controversy it was finally then-prime minister Lester Pearson who formed a committee in 1964 to resolve the issue, one which ultimately sparked serious debate from sea to shining sea. After months of speculation and argument, three final choices were seriously considered, with the maple leaf design crafted by George Stanley
eventually gaining the final nod. Stanley had based his flag on the colour scheme and look of the banner used by the Royal Military College of Canada. It seems appropriate that the maple leaf holds its place of honour in our country since it has been used as a Canadian emblem since the 1700s. In 1868, the maple leaf firmly moved into the Canadian psyche when it appeared on the coat of arms of both Quebec and Ontario. The year before song composer Alexander Muir wrote his iconic tune, The Maple Leaf Forever. From 1876 until 1901, that leaf appeared on all Canadian coins and remained on the one

cent piece until its recent demise as a coin. By 1921, the maple leaf had found its way onto the nation’s coat of Arms proclaimed by King George V. Our first Canadian flag was the one used by the Governor General which was basically similar to the Union Jack and bearing the quartered arms of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves. In 1870, the Union Jack, with the addition of the Canadian composite shield in the fly, began to be used unofficially and was referred to by most as the Canadian Red Ensign. But even then no one was pleased and so back in 1925, then-prime minister Mackenzie King formed a committee to design a new national flag. For unknown reasons, however, the committee was disbanded before any decision was made, New flag designs were proposed repeatedly between 1927 and 1939. Again in November 1945, a joint committee of the Senate and House of Commons was appointed to recommend a national flag and received more than 2,400 designs from the public. Eventually the committee reported back with a Canadian red ensign with a “maple leaf in autumn golden colours in a bordered background of white.” Despite the recommendation, King declined to act on it. In 1958, an extensive poll was taken of adult Canadians regarding the flag with more than 80 per cent wanting a national flag entirely different from that of any other country. Some 60 per cent wanted the flag to include a maple leaf. The ‘Great Canadian Flag debate’ started in 1963 and a three-leaf
design was leaked to the press in February 1964. The leaves were red and the two edge borders blue. Though popular with some, it stirred further debate. Finally, on June 15, 1964, Pearson announced an official discussion on the issue would begin. The arguing lasted more than six months, bitterly dividing Canadians across the land. The debate finally ended by ‘closure’ Dec. 15, 1964, resulting in our current flag, inaugurated on Feb. 15, 1965. Ironically, it was military use that both inspired and yet nearly eliminated the maple leaf as the focal point of our new flag. Famous Canadian military outfits such as the Royal Canadian Regiment had used as its symbol as far back as 1860. Maple leaf shaped badges adorned hats and uniforms throughout the First and Second World Wars and eventually became the symbol used on the tombstones of fallen Canadian soldiers. Despite the popularity of the maple leaf on badges and headstones, many veterans and those of British background argued years later that Canada should keep the Red Ensign forever since so many soldiers had fought and died under its colours. More research shows that the number of points on the leaf has no significance except that the number and arrangement of the points were chosen “after wind tunnel tests showed the current design to be the least blurry of the various designs when tested under high wind conditions.” So there you have it, everything you needed to know about the Canadian flag, even though few of us really seem all that interested.

Five cool Canadian Classics By Rob Sass
Canada has an automotive heritage every bit as rich as that of the United States. Some extraordinarily interesting collectible cars have been produced here over the years. These are five favourites: 1. 1965 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe Similar to the American Chevrolet Chevelle, the Beaumont Sport Deluxe followed the original muscle car formula of the Pontiac GTO by stuffing the most powerful engine readily available into the smallest body. Only twenty-three were built with the potent L79 327 cubic inch, 350 hp engine option. 2. 1974-75 Bricklin SV-1 The Bricklin
was a gullwing door sports car that was built in what was then a relatively under-employed part of New Brunswick. Generous tax-incentives were paid out of the provincial coffers to get Malcolm Bricklin to locate his factory there. If it all sounds familiar, it should, this was essentially the DeLorean story played out seven years earlier in Canada rather than Northern Ireland. Sadly, it ended much the same way with not even two years of production of the Bricklin “safety sports car” before the whole operation folded up owing the government of New Brunswick over $20 million. 3. 1956 Studebaker Flight Hawk The Hawk was a particularly fine-looking
coupe that was a derivative of the 1953 Robert Bourke/Raymond Loewy Starliner coupe. Oddly, only the 1956 model year base six-cylinder Flight Hawk coupes were built in Canada in Studebaker’s Hamilton, ON plant where the last Studebakers rolled off the line just ten years later in 1966. 4. 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 Most Americans are blissfully unaware that William Shatner and Michael J. Fox are actually Canadian. They’d likely be equally surprised to find out that one of the most quintessentially American muscle cars was actually Canadian. The last (and some argue the best) Pontiac Trans Am with the WS6 package was assembled alongside its F-body cous-

Okanagan rink takes experience to Brier
whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
The first time Tyrel Griffith saw a Brier live, he was a spectator at the Calgary Saddledome in 2009. It was an experience that gave the Kelowna curler a true understanding of just what the Canadian men’s curling championship was all about. “The atmosphere in (the Saddledome) was like no other event I’d been to,” said Griffith, 29. “What I remember is Glenn Howard making this impossible shot against Joel Jordison to win a game, and the crowd went wild. That’s the kind of thing that inspires you to want to be a part of that whole atmosphere. It’s exciting to be going back as a player this time.” This weekend, Griffith returns to Cowtown for the 2015 Tim Hortons Brier, this time as a member of Jim Cotter’s B.C. rink. Griffith is about to play in his third Canadian men’s championship, Cotter and lead Rick Sawatsky will each be
playing in their fifth, while new third Ryan Kuhn will experience a Brier for the first time. Last year, with John Morris throwing skip rocks, the Okanagan team came agonizingly close to a Canadian title, losing the final game to Northern Ontario’s Brad Jacobs. Without the highprofile Morris calling the shots this year, the Vernon/Kelowna foursome may be slightly less conspicuous in Calgary than a year ago in Kamloops. Still, Griffith assures the B.C. champs have the same expectations as always. “Expectations, we carry those for ourselves, it doesn’t really matter what others expect of us,” said Griffith. “We’ve been there before, the other rinks know who we are, so we don’t concern ourselves with those pressures or expectations. “We’re pretty focused, we’ve had good week and half of practise and we’re looking strong. We feel good going in.” As usual, the Brier features a deep field of contenders, including

B.C. lead Rick Sawatsky has met each and every one of those teams in
years past and knows will take a stellar week of curling to hoist the Brier Tankard. “There are so many good teams, it just really depends on how you play for that one week, and see if you can get a few
breaks at the same time,” said Sawatsky who, like Griffith, hails from Kelowna. “You’ve got to go out there and battle and grind, because it’s a long week. It’s a matter of playing to our potential
and if we can do that, then we have as good a chance as anyone.” As for playing in his fifth Brier since 2008, Sawatsky insists the prospects of competing on curling’s biggest stage never grows old.
“It’s one of the premier events in our sport so you always look forward to it no matter what,” said Sawatsky, 39. “The crowds in Western Canada are generally pretty vocal and supportive and into the games, so it’s easy to feed off that atmosphere. We’re as excited to be going back.” The Cotter rink will be put to the test right out of the gate on Saturday when they take on twotime Canadian champion Kevin Koe. It doesn’t get any easier Sunday when the B.C. champs face Brad Jacobs and Jean-Michel Menard. The Brier final is set for Sunday, March 8 at 4 p.m. Pacific time.
Herringer steps up in Rockets’ crease
Warren Henderson
whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
When Michael Herringer was cut loose by the Saskatoon Blades early this season, his future in junior hockey was uncertain. In deciding to add a third goaltender to their roster in October, the Kelowna Rockets not only gave themselves a little insurance but also provided Herringer with a second chance.
The 19-year-old from Comox has been steady, if not solid, since joining the Rockets with 8-2-0-0 record and 2.53 goals against average in 11 appearances. Sharing time with rookie Jake Morrissey, the 6-foot-1 Herringer has been especially valuable in the absence of No. 1 netminder Jackson Whistle who continues his rehab from an appendectomy. On Wednesday,
making his third straight
Michael Herringer
start against the Victoria Royals—one of his former clubs—Herringer held his
team in the game early with some key saves, then backstopped his Rockets to a 4-2 win. Head coach Dan Lambert said Herringer has been a welcome addition to the Rockets roster. “When Jake was hurt early in the season, that allowed us to go out and get a guy who looked really good in the preseason,” said Lambert. “Even though we haven’t called on Michael that
much, he’s done a real good job and has given us a chance to win every one of his starts. “That’s what you need from a back up, and both him and Jake have done a good job.” For Herringer’s part, he’s grateful to just be playing the major junior game, let alone for the Western Hockey League’s No. 1 team. “It means a lot to me,” said Herringer. “The (Rockets) could
have easily traded me, but they decided to go with three goalies. Jake and I are younger with less experience, so it’s good for us to learn from Jackson. “I wasn’t sure what was going to happen when I came home from Saskatoon,” he added. “I got lucky enough to land in probably the best place in the CHL.” The Rockets were without WHL goalscoring leader Rourke
Chartier, as well as Justin Kirkland and Tomas Soustal, on Wednesday due to injuries. All are considered day-to-day and are unlikely to play this weekend. The Rockets visit Vancouver Friday, then return home Saturday to take on the Calgary Hitmen.

Warriors make final BCHL playoff push Centennials and Silverbacks meet head on in Salmon Arm, with the winner clinching a playoff berth. On Saturday, the Warriors are in a mustwin situation as they wrap up the regular season against the Surrey Eagles at Royal LePage Place. “It’s unfortunate that we don’t control our own
destiny,” said Ferster, whose team is 4-0-0-1 in its last five games. “What we have to do Saturday is win and then get a little help. I’ve said all season, a really good team is going to miss the playoffs.” On Saturday, Merritt hosts Trail, while the Silverbacks are in Penticton—both games will likely have a bearing on where the Warriors ultimately finish. If West Kelowna does squeeze in to the postseason, the first round of the playoffs would begin on the road on Tuesday
CONTRIBUTED
A few weeks back, head coach Rylan Ferster had a hunch his team’s fortunes would hinge on the final weekend of the BCHL’s regular season. That’s precisely the case for the West Kelowna Warriors who are battling both the Salmon Arm Silverbacks and Merritt Centennials for one of two remaining playoff spots in the Interior Division. All three teams have 64 points, with West Kelowna having played one more game. On Friday, the

Four gold for Zakala at Western Canadian Open Josh Zakala was at the top of his game in Edmonton. The 16-year-old member of the Kelowna AquaJets won six medals and set eight club records last weekend at the Western Canadian Open swim meet. The annual event fielded 500 swimmers from more than 60 clubs from Ontario to B.C., offering a final preparation for most swimmer’s championship meets in the coming month. Emily Epp, 15, also competed for the AquaJets in Edmonton. Zakala won gold medals in four events— the 200 and 400 IM and 100 and 200 backstroke—while adding a silver in the 800 free and bronze in the 100

free. Zakala broke eight Jets’ records in the 15-to17 and men’s categories, starting by lowering his own marks from last season in the 100 and 200 back to 58.84 and 2:05.71. Zakala lowered two more of his own in the 100 fly in a time of 59.40.
Lastly, cracking two that were not his own, Josh broke records by Julien Roberts (27.70— 2013) and Christian Desjarlais (27.03—2010) in the 50 fly posting a time of 26.81. Having a successful meet of her own at her first Westerns, Emily Epp showed no nerves and swam to 10th place in the 800 free, dropping 13 seconds off her best time. Epp also made a B final in the 400 free, placing 19th in a nine-second best time, as well as finishing 30th in her 200 breast. “I feel Josh and Emily did a great job responding to the demands and pressure of the meet, resulting in some impressive swims,” said AquaJets coach Peter Wilkins.

Risso signs on with Heat volleyball libero. “His versatility at setter and other roles will be a big asset to our program,” Poitras said of his newest recruit. “(But) we will be looking at Eli in the position of libero going forward.” A provincial all-star throughout high-school and two-time B.C. 3A boys silver medalist, he comes from a distinguished pedigree. His father, Dave Risso, is a former CIS All-Canadian at the University of Victoria, with professional experience in France to
follow afterwards. The hardworking student athlete is excited to take his school and sport to the next level at UBC Okanagan. “Playing for the Heat and attending UBC Okanagan has always been a goal of mine,” said Risso. “Not many athletes have the opportunity to play at the highest level in Canadian volleyball and attend a world-class postsecondary institution at the same time, all right in their hometown.” KSS Owls coach Mike
Sodaro is confident that Risso will make a smooth transition to the next step. “Eli will fight hard for playing time and will be a great asset to UBC Okanagan’s fast improving program,” the coach said. “Whether setting, serving, or playing defense, Eli will work his hardest to achieve goals.” Eli’s trajectory has been in the works for some time, according to Poitras, who admits to having had the libero to be on his radar for many years. “He is an
extremely competitive player who shows the grit we are looking for in players in our program,” Poitras said. “He is a very threatening server and has excellent backcourt skills.” Risso will likely be playing understudy to Jeremy Fostvelt, who will be entering his fifth and final year with the Heat next season. In the classroom, Risso will have his eye on a business degree from UBC.

One of B.C.’s top high school volleyball prospects has opted to keep his talents right at home. KSS Owls’ senior Eli Risso will join the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s squad for the start of the 2015-16 Canada West season. The 6-foot-1 Risso doubled as a libero and setter during his final season with the Owls, and was also the starting setter his U18 club team in Kelowna. In Heat colours, head coach Greg Poitras envisions Risso playing

With a population that has grown steadily over the past few years, Palm Coast and Flagler County are proving to be the softest patch of Florida’s many beaches in which to settle down. Visitors needn’t worry, either. This stretch of coastal delights between Volusia and St. Johns counties on Florida’s East Coast remains the most hidden of vacation hideaways, and you can still explore much of what the area has to offer in a long weekend. But why would you? About 75 miles north of Orlando, the Flagler beaches are built for breezy afternoons, not whirlwind tours. In the actual city of Flagler Beach, a colorful assortment of beach bars, restaurants and shops waits in lazy orbit around the hub of the Flagler Beach Municipal Pier. Constructed in 1928, the pier remains the best place to start planning the rest of your visit, though don’t be surprised if the day floats away while you’re fishing. (Daily fishing passes on the pier are $6 US adults, $4 seniors and military, while walk-out admission is $1.50 adults, $1 for seniors and military.) Special note for those vacationing with man’s best friend: Leashed pets are welcome on Flagler Beach, but only north of North 10th Street and south of South 10th Street. After mining the delights of Flagler Beach, it’s time to lace up the hiking boots or hop on that bike. Either method is ideal for exploring Washington Oaks Gardens State
Park in Palm Coast (washingtonoaks.org), just 12 miles north on S.R. A1A. The centerpiece of this network of nature trails is the Formal Gardens, where a brook winds through native plants, a rose garden and a pictureperfect gazebo. Visitors who enjoy the Edenic scenery can thank the late energy magnate and diplomat Owen D. Young and wife Louise Young, the winter residents of Washington Oaks who donated the property to the state of Florida in 1964. Cap off the visit with a walk to the majestic beach-side coquina rocks, just east of the Florida scrub habitat where the state park meets the ocean. Equally historic and even more secluded are the grounds of Princess Place Preserve (floridahikes.com/ princess-place-preserve), on the other side of the Intracoastal Waterway from Washington Oaks Gardens. Those who make the rustic twomile trek down Princess Place Road from Old Kings Road to the shores of Pellicer Creek are rewarded with plentiful live oaks, ample camping opportunities and a view of the oldest standing homestead in Flagler County. New England sportsman Henry Cutting built the sturdy creekside hunting lodge in 1887 with Florida’s first inground swimming pool, fed by an artesian well. After Cutting’s death in 1892, his widow married a Russian prince and returned to live at the estate, which would come to be known as Princess Place. Back on A1A, aquatic adventures await at Marineland (marineland.
net), one of Florida’s earliest animal attractions. The facility celebrated a 75th anniversary in 2013, and continues to focus on marine conservation with educational and fun exhibits such as the dolphin encounter.
General admission tickets start at $12.95 for adults, $11.95 for seniors or $7.95 for ages 3-12, with interactive dolphin experiences priced from $32.95. Those inspired by the natural splendor can get
down at European Village (european-village.com), where you can find quaint shops nestled among quaint bars such as Farley’s Irish Pub and the upscale cuisine and live music at 727. Aptly named, the courtyard plaza has the look and feel of a hidden Italian village, which might be the only place you’ll find quieter or quainter company than Flagler County.

In Memoriam
In Memory Of Richard Wheeler Dec. 27, 1943 – Feb. 27, 2014 The Broken Chain We little knew that morning That God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us precious memories Your love us still our guide. And though we cannot see you You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again.
Love you & miss you every day Dad

ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON
Oscar winner offers insightful play about acceptance Entertainment
Kate Hamer plays the title role in the Kelowna Actors Studio production of Freckleface Strawberry.
THEATRE Freckleface Strawberry March 5-8 Kelowna Actors Studio 1379 Ellis St.
Freckleface Strawberry was written by Academy Award winning actress Julianne Moore, a touching story about accepting yourself the way you are. Strawberry is teased about her freckles constantly, so she tries different ways to hide them before ultimately hiding herself. Her musical journey to self- acceptance is complete when she discovers that her classmates missed her while she lived undercover. They teach her that everyone is different and the most important thing is to have friends. With an inspiring plot, catchy music and energetic dancing numbers you are sure to enjoy an uplifting show for all ages. This show is truly breathtaking,” said Randy Leslie, artistic managing director of Kelowna Actors Studio. “It reaches out to everyone—children and adults alike. Everyone has faced some type of prejudice in their
childhood whether it had to do with race, religion or the clothes they choose to wear.” Joining Leslie on the production team are Choreographer Jennifer Davies, music director Roslyn Frantz and stage manager Loreena Alfonso Showtimes are: Thursday, March 5—6 and 8 p.m. Friday, March 6—6 and 8 p.m. Saturday, March 7—11a.m., 2 p.m., 6 p.m. Sunday, March 8—2 p.m. CONCERT Chris Antonik March 11 8 p.m. Minstrel Cafe 4638 Lakeshore Rd. Kelowna Toronto-based Chris Antonik was nominated for Best New Artist at 2011’s Maple Blues Awards after the release of his debut album. He has since become one of Canada’s fastestrising blues artists. Blending innovative, thoughtful songwriting with stunning blues guitar work, some music critics have already drawn comparisons to Eric Clapton. In 2013, his sophomore
album release Better For You was hailed by some critics as “the best Canadian blues-rock album of 2013,” and “the sound of someone taking the blues to a new place.” 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 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, facesoff 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

BALLET The Ashley Bouder Project Tuesday, March 3 7:30 p.m. Kelowna Communty Theatre 1375 Water St. New York City’s finest dancers will travel west to light up Kelowna’s Community Theatre with the Canadian premiere of The Ashley Bouder Project, presented by New York City Ballet principal dancer Ashley Bouder, and an elite ensemble of the company’s greatest artists “Presenting these New York City Ballet dancers, some of ballet’s best and brightest stars, in Canada, is such an amazing opportunity for us,” said Simone Orlando, Ballet Kelowna artistic director and CEO. “Bouder’s exquisite artistry and meticulouslyhoned technique will ensure that our Kelowna audience will be left in stunned silence. We are also delighted that the second act—showcasing the much-anticipated
Canadian premiere of Rouge et Noir—has been choreographed by Kelowna native Joshua Beamish, in a welcome return to the region.” Dancing since the age of six, Bouder first performed with NYCB in June 2000, was promoted to the rank of soloist in February 2004, and has been a celebrated principal dancer with the world-renowned company since January 2005.

entertainment__________________ EVENTS FROM A36 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna Performing a mix of raggae and rock’n roll, Big Sugar makes a stop in Kelowna as part of the band’s cross-Canada tour to promote their new album, Yardstyle. Their latest album is described as 13 tracks of languidly-paced, percussionheavy acoustic reggae, the songs running the gamut from the group’s big hit “Turn The Lights On” to brand new cuts such as “Calling All the Youth” and “Police Bway the Vampire.” CONCERT Led Zepagain Saturday, March 7 7:30 p.m. Mary Irwin Theater in the Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna Led Zepagain performs a tribute show to the music of Led Zeppelin, with the endorsement of the group’s founding member guitarist Jimmy 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. Tickets are available at the RCA Box Office or online at selectyourtickets. com.

Home Free perform March 20 at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Founded by rothers Chris and Adam Rupp during their college years more than a decade ago, Home Free had been perfecting their live show for years leading up to their appearance on The Sing-Off.

office location to start promoting activities and tours around Kelowna and serve as a concierge service in the shopping centre. “We will offer exclusive promotional space to our partners, allowing them the ability to advertise in the busiest shopping centre in the Okanagan,” said a Kelowna Actors Studio news release. “We will put up signs directing patrons to our new location in the mall.
Military museum hosts WW1 exhibit Kelowna Museums will showcase the realities experienced by Okanagan members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force with The Glory Passes, a new exhibit opening at the Okanagan Military Museum on Saturday, noon to 3 p.m. “This was our first major action in the trenches of France and Flanders,” said military museum
historian Keith Boehmer. “We see how humour, music, art, literature and language began being employed as psychological defence mechanisms.” The new exhibit stresses the transition from the ideal ‘Happy Warrior’ to a fatalistic, pragmatic soldier, in a captivating, hands-on kind of way. “We have special interactive displays designed to appeal to
children and adults alike,” added Cuyler Page, exhibitions manager. The various objects, props and stagecraft will show living conditions in trenches. In addition there are quotations and local stories to highlight those first impressions of combat experiences. The military museum is located inside Memorial Arena, 1424 Ellis St. in downtown Kelowna.
