Adults looking to upgrade high school courses will no longer be able to do so for free across the province. The principal of the Central Okanagan program says changes to funding for adult graduates is a concern.

News WEST KELOWNA
Breastfeeding proponents to rally behind their cause Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Breasts and bottles will make an appearance at a West Kelowna council meeting as the community responds to a recent round of commentary against the adoption of a “baby friendly initiative.” Local breast feeding and parenting groups decided to join forces for a March 24 “feed-in” after remarks from a March 10 council meeting came to light through several news outlets. At that session, a public health nurse alongside some UBC Okanagan nursing students asked the district for support of an initiative that would make municipal buildings breastfeeding-friendly with symbolic stickers in city-owned facilities and by educating employees and local businesses about the rights of nursing mothers—policy long since adopted in Lake Country and Kelowna. In response, several councillors took turns explaining what they
didn’t like about the initiative and the matter was ultimately cast aside with the proviso from Mayor Doug Findlater that they would think about it and see if they wanted to take any further action at a later time. Those behind the feed in, want that time to be now. “I was really disappointed,” said Sarah Tremblay, one of the women behind the feed-in. “I have been living in West Kelowna for seven years and I have seen it change so much in that time. It’s become more young-family dense and I feel like the more we can support young families and growing healthy children then the healthier our community will be.” Failure to offer support of the initiative, along with the negative commentary that it sparked, was surprising to many of the 60-plus women who have RSVP’d to the
event, which was announced on Facebook. “I would love to give council the benefit of the doubt, but I also felt that some of their arguments were not as informed as I would have liked,” Tremblay said. Among the comments that are causing concern is one from Coun. Rosalind Neis that indicated that she didn’t like the policy because mothers from bottle fed babies get a rough time from women who breast feed. The “mommy wars” do exist, said Tremblay, but to give them more weight than they deserve isn’t helping anyone. “I am a nursing mother and I don’t think less of women who bottle feed,” she said. “That’s why I wanted to make the event…this is about us growing healthy babies, and not about anything else.” And, she said, education and support at a municipal level with
things like the baby-friendly campaign would help that aim. “I work in health care, so I know the benefits of breast feeding and extended breast feeding,” Tremblay said. “So I never thought about the length of time I would breastfeed or where I would breastfeed my children.” But not all mothers have that confidence, she said, and some public support could nudge someone in doubt toward what the medical community has endorsed. “More than anything I hope that West Kelowna can be a community that prioritizes the health and growth of young families in this area, and that council changes its mind on this issue,” she said. Calls to mayor Findlater were not returned by press deadline, however, the district did issue a statement of sorts. “For clarification, no decision was made at the March 10 meeting of council regarding the Baby Friendly presentation,” it read. “Please
be advised that, at the March 24 meeting of West Kelowna council, Mayor Doug Findlater will provide council with notice that he intends to bring the following motion before council at its April 14 meeting: That council direct staff to provide a report on the costs (if any) and implications of implementing a Baby Friendly Policy for District of West Kelowna.” News that the issue would return to council this quickly was embraced by Tremblay, who, along with dozens of others, still intends to attend the meeting. Women, mothers, fathers and friends plan to gather at West Kelowna city council chambers on Tuesday, March 24, at 5:30 p.m., to show this council that the Baby Friendly Initiative is important to West Kelowna. To learn more about the feed-in, go to the Facebook page, West Kelowna Feed In. The more who would like to attend, the merrier, said Tremblay. @kelownanewsKAT

Everyone from young children to seniors crammed into the Seedy Saturday event held at Okanagan College over the weekend. It’s been a community staple for 14 years, bringing seed growers and gardeners together to talk plants and plan plots, but in recent years it’s bloomed into something much bigger. “We’re basically at capacity here,” said Okanagan master gardener Rachael Fleming. “And we had to turn away a few last minute requests (from vendors) asking if they could come. We just couldn’t squeeze them in.” As a master gardener, she’s long since known the joys of digging into
the earth, planting seeds and watching them grow. But it’s a desire to create a sustainable life that brought in the masses. “People are really interested in growing their own vegetables,” Fleming said, adding that there were a remarkable number of children at the event,” Fleming said. “All people from all walks of life are interested in taking ownership of their food. And they’re growing things in their own yard, or even on their balconies.” It’s something Coral Brinck from Brother Nature has noticed as well. She and her husband have been going to the event for the last four years. Over the last two years, they have seen a serious spike in appetite for the organic seeds they provide. “People are really

Kelownians who are in need of food or a hot meal don’t have to worry about going hungry. There are more than 18 agencies throughout the city that offer free breakfast, lunch and snacks to people who drop in. Joel McNamara, a volunteer at St. Vincent de Paul, said there is currently a “great need” for food in the city. “It is not people on the street (who need food), it is people like young families who are really struggling,” he said. Interior Health, at1340 Ellis St., offers fliers that list which agencies are currently offering food. The fliers are updated at the beginning of every month. “Most of the agencies do offer food or meals yearround. Even if the fliers are outdated, people can just phone the numbers on the front and see if they are still offering food,” he said. The fliers have a calendar inside that shows the agencies that supply food, if it’s for the public or organization members and the dates and times the food is available. McNamara said the rental situation in the city is “ridiculous,” and is part of the reason why people are in such desperate need of food. “After people pay their rent and bills and buy their kids clothes, there is not enough left over for food.” St. Vincent de Paul works on an emergency basis and can only deliver food once every three months, which is why they want to bring awareness to other options.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers as he announced the rarelyused designation would be applied to the man who sat in the prisoners’ box, with his head bowed. Rogers added that he “is quite satisfied with the person that he is and Mr. Bobbitt shows no interest in modifying his behaviour.” Two separate psychiatric reports offered evidence that Bobbitt is a psychopath, noting he was “callous, uncaring, belligerent and boastful” when recounting the brutal 2011 attack on a 22-year-old who was caught in his crosshairs after entering his shop with her toddler in tow, in
search of a trundle bed. Throughout the dangerous offender hearing, details of that brutal crime came to the surface. The court heard that the young woman was leaving the shop when Bobbitt knocked her down with a hammerblow to the head. Over the course of 15 hours that she was imprisoned, he continued to hit her with the rubber hammer, burnt her with cigarettes, bit her and violently sexually assaulted her while threatening to turn on her child. The woman required 60 staples in her head from the attack. All the while, her family searched, noting to RCMP

The family began searching nearby buildings and found her. Bobbitt had already fled by the time RCMP arrived in the building. She was found on the floor in a pool of blood, naked and covered with a blanket. Her child was nearby in a blood soaked shirt. Bobbitt pleaded guilty to seven offences, including two counts of unlawful confinement or imprisonment, aggravated assault, aggravated sexual assault, two counts of uttering threats and assault with a weapon. Bobbitt was also sentenced to four years for two counts of uttering threats and 10 years for two counts of unlawful confinement. The dangerous offender designation has only been applied to somewhere in the area of 500 convicts Canadawide. The dangerous offender provisions of the Criminal Code are intended to protect all Canadians from the most dangerous violent and sexual predators in the country. Individuals convicted of these offences can be designated as a dangerous offender during sentencing if a sentencing court is satisfied that the offender constitutes a threat to the life, safety or physical or mental well-being of the public.

Eyeing an opportunity to attract a provincial sporting event that could bring in as much as $2 million to the local economy, Kelowna city council has given its staff the green light to gauge public support for the city to host the 55+ B.C. Games in 2017, 2018 or 2019. The games, formerly known as the B.C. Senior’s Games, attract about 4,000 participants in 31 sports and activities. The event is held in either late August or mid September each year. While there are bona
fide sports involved such as ice hockey,curling, tennis, golf and even pickleball, there are also less strenuous activities like cribbage. City events development supervisor Mariko Siggers told council Monday that Kelowna usually sends a team of about 100 participants to the games each year. Council was unanimous in its support for considering a bid to host, with Coun. Maxine DeHart saying despite the fact the games would take place at a traditionally busy time of year for the local tourism industry, any opportunity

Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
Don’t stop skiing just yet. That’s the message to Kelowna skiers from Big White Ski Resort vice-president Michael Ballingall. Ballingall says the early start to spring, dating back to the latter part of February, has encouraged local residents to put away their skis in favour
of their golf clubs and backyard gardening tools. The first weekend registered half as many local skiers as the weekend before, and last weekend saw those numbers fall off again. “There is still four weeks of great skiing left to go. We just had fresh snow on Sunday, 11 centimetres, so the ski conditions are great for us,” he said, noting that Red Mountain at Rossland
closed last weekend, Whistler has had a tough go of it this spring and the Lower Mainland ski hills are dry. While Big White has felt the impact of the warmer weather with a snow base that is about 100 centimetres below normal for this time of year, he said the ski resort still sports the best snow conditions in western North America. “Now is not the time

to stop skiing. Don’t start golfing yet. We have four weeks of great skiing left in the season to go and then you play as much golf as you want.” The tourist numbers for spring break had 1,608 ski visitors from Ontario and Hawaii, with accommodation at the rest sold out for the first five days of spring break. “The numbers are staggering,” said Jim Loyd, sales director at Big White. “I’ve spent the last few days helping eager skiers and snowboarders collect their luggage, get on the buses at the airport and get up to the resort.”

know how to garden, people who like to garden, people who don’t have a place to garden and want to know how to garden,” said Bryant. Once they’ve convened, they’ll figure out how to take advantage of a few new growing opportunities. “This year we have a plot of land and now
we’re looking at what we can do with water and how accessible it is,” she said. In the past the food bank has had community groups farm for them, but having land they can manage themselves offers flexibility they’ve not previously been afforded. “Now we can lay a garden out and plan for
ourselves,” said Bryant. That’s not to say they wouldn’t welcome community donations of greens and other vegetables. This year they’ll repeat their call for gardeners to plant a row and donate the produce to the food bank. Bryant is even asking that those who are in
the practice of chicken farming to keep the food bank in mind. “We go through 5,000 eggs a month, but we only give out six at a time, and we’d like to double that,” she said. For more information on how to help, go to the Kelowna Community Food, 1265 Ellis St., on March 25 at 7 p.m.

Education ministry demands $1.1 million budget cut Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
Central Okanagan School District staff and trustees will be taking a hard look at the district’s operating budget when spring break is over, looking at ways to trim
a little over $1.1 million from administration costs. The province has allocated the school district’s operating budget for the 2015-16 school year totaling just over $180 million. Included in the budget allocation figure was also
the amount that needs to be trimmed as part of a $29-million provincewide savings on school administration. “It’s not quite as bad as we thought; however, it doesn’t take into account all of the things we have taken off in past years,”
said school board chair Moyra Baxter of the $1.1 million figure. “Although we aren’t going to have to make a huge amount of further cuts we are still way behind.” Trustees will be meeting with school
district staff on April 1 in the first finance committee meeting and the start of a month-long process that will see them come up with the savings. In the past, the district has found ways to come up with more revenue, such as charging parents
who bus their children to school, a controversial move at the time it was done. Later the transportation levy was cut in half.
The school board is expected to complete its budget deliberations by April 29. @KP_media 1

upgrade for free with the money allocated within the school district’s operating budgets. But as of May 1 of this year the province says it will discontinue the program. “The discontinuation of funding will make enrollment in these courses costprohibitive for a high percentage of adult learners,” said Central Okanagan school board chair Moyra Baxter. “We are always talking about how everyone should be contributing to the community. This seemed like a great way to help people get better paying jobs or move on to post secondary.” The Central Okanagan School Board, along with Schreiber, have sent a letter to Minister of Education Peter Fassbender, noting their concerns with the program and asking the government to reconsider. “It wasn’t a huge amount of money but the program is very convenient for people that wanted to do it,” said Baxter. “A lot of them have full-time jobs or are low income. It was a very useful program and school boards across the province just feel this is short-sighted to stop people from upgrading.” The province announced the cuts to the graduated adult program late last year at the same time announcing some grants for adult upgrading had been increased to help with things like textbooks, supplies, transportation and child care. But Schreiber says they have found that the graduated adult program has the most success among other types of upgrading programs, noting graduated adults “course completion rate is considerably higher compared to that of our non-graduated adults and school-age graduates.”

City to hatch plan for ‘Civic Block’ AlistairWaters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
With construction set to start on Kelowna’s new $48-million police services building on Clement Avenue later this year and the prospect of the RCMP vacating the current detachment building on Doyle Avenue, the city is starting to think about the future of an area it calls the Civic Block. City staff briefed council Monday on its plans to study the threeblock area downtown, stretching from Queensway on the south side of city hall to Smith Avenue on the south side of the Kelowna Court House and from Water Street to the west to Ellis Street to the east.
Contained in the area are several high profile civic buildings including city hall, the Kelowna Community Theatre, the existing RCMP detachment building, the main Kelowna branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, Memorial Arena, the Kelowna Centennial Museum and the sites of both the new Innovation Centre and the new Interior Health office building at the corner of Doyle and Ellis. Both buildings are under construction. Other construction in the area includes a$14 million addition to the existing Library Parkade that is currently taking place and plans to build a new parkade between the museum and the
arena. With construction of the new Interior Health building, the current IH health unit building on Ellis is also slated to become vacant. City planning specialist Ross Soward told council staff are planing a multiphase program that will include at least two public workshops to help gather public input about future development of the area, work that is expected to start later this month and wrap up by October. A plan would then be put together and presented to council before June 2016. That will lead to a plan that staff will take to council. The city wants to look at the area as a

whole, not just on an individual building basis. The city owns the RCMP detachment building, as well as Memorial Arena and the Kelowna Community Theatre, all of which are aging and decisions need to be made about their futures. Mayor Colin Basran said with the planned redevelopment of parts of the area, as well as the recent revitalization of nearby Bernard Avenue, it is becoming the heart of what he called the “new” downtown. “We’re going about
this the right way—from a land use perspective,” said Basran. “This is something we can’t rush.” He said it is important to have representation of all in the community at the table when the city sits down to design its plan for the area’s future. The Civic Block is part of a larger area that extends all the way north to Clement Avenue, where the new police services building will be located. That building is slated to be ready for use by 2017.
Blasting Westside Living in the Rose Valley area of West Kelowna over the next few weeks will be a real blast. The District of West Kelowna is allowing a construction to blast rock to help with subdivision construction at the end of Rosealee Lane. A blasting permit has been issued to Kara Vista Developments Ltd. for site construction and servicing for the property. Blasting is required to excavate rock for the project. Blasting will be allowed Monday to Friday, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., says the district. As part of WorkSafeBC requirements, safety
sirens will be sounded before a blast and once the area is cleared. The blasting company will monitor for vibrations caused by the blast. Blasting activity is expected to continue until April 3. Residents with concerns regarding the blasting activity can contact TT Contractors Ltd. at 778-4783559, email: office@ ttcontractors.ca, contact Charlie Higgins, project manager with WSP Canada Inc. at 250980-5504 or email him at Charlie.higgins@ wspgroup.com.

OUR VIEW
Wages vs frugality
The BC Federation of Labour has launched a petition campaign to see the minimum wage in our province raised from the current $10.25/hour to $15. Full-time minimum wage workers are living below the poverty line as measured by Statistics Canada Low Income Cut Off. With 22,000 signatures on the petition and a goal of getting 30,000 names on board, the B.C. Fed argues minimum wage workers should see their wages increased to $15 so they can support themselves and their families. This is in response to the provincial government’s plan to raise the minimum wage by 20 cents an hour in September and to tie future increases to the rising cost of living. Shirley Bond, the provincial minister of jobs, tourism and skills training, says the government has no intention of jacking up the minimum wage rate to $15 an hour, noting that B.C. has the fourth highest average wage in the country, a talking point that has little to do with the minimum wage debate but it sounds good. The BC Federation of Labour is advocating for its own by trumping up this issue, speaking out for the lower pay scale end of its working membership. But what the debate really reiterates here is the notion that not every job can offer the Canadian dream, to be able to support yourself, a family or even some perks like a new car or winter vacation somewhere warm. While the minimum wage cycle is difficult, the proponents behind this $15 an hour campaign need to also keep in mind the middle class wage earners are having a tough time of it as well. It’s been well documented in the U.S. that more than 90 per cent of the wealth generated in that country is controlled by less than 10 per cent of the population, a recipe for squeezing out the middle class which has been happening. The scenario for Canada is not much different except for the fact our governments accept more social responsibilities, such as Medicare, than do our dysfunctional neighbours south of us. While wages are important, what is also important is how far $1 we earn can be stretched in this era where fees for just about everything, from transit to hydro, are increased with annual consistency. We need to gain more spending traction with that $1 earned, rather than continually seeking wage increases in a futile effort to keep up to the cost of living. It’s important to strive for something more in life than working at a fast food place, and it’s important that education opportunities are affordable for everyone to improve their job skills and seek higher paying jobs. We have seen the government make that investment at Okanagan College with expanded trades training facilities, and with strong support of the local business community.

West Kelowna quickly moves to tidy its breastfeeding faux pas If one group asks another group to do City something and the Confidential group being asked deliberately does ALISTAIR nothing, and some WATERS of its members even speak out against what’s being asked for, does that constitute rejection? Not in the eyes of West Kelowna council. Last week, a group of UBCO nursing students asked council to support a program that would identify district facilities as breastfeeding-friendly places. The identification would be done by placing stickers, the students would provide at no cost to the city, in district buildings identifying them as places where breastfeeding is encouraged. I say encouraged as opposed to allowed because under the B.C. Human Rights Code, a woman can feed her baby in any public place and it is discriminatory to ask her to cover up. West Kelowna council listened politely, then a few councillors made it clear that they thought the program was a bad idea because it could make mothers who do not, or cannot, breastfeed feel like they were somehow failing their babies. The students said that was not their intention and it was left at that. While council did nothing at the time, Mayor Doug Findlater said the issue could come back at a later date. The story got plenty of play in the local media, including in this newspaper. Fast forward to Monday. West Kelowna issued what it called a “clarification,” saying no decision had been made on the Baby Friendly program proposal. It’s right. And that’s what happened. Nothing. The inference, of course, is that the media got it wrong and council did not reject the Baby Friendly program proposal.

But if you are asked to do something and you deliberately do nothing, your silence can’t be taken for support. The students sure did not appear to feel they had council’s support as they left council chambers last week. Meanwhile, despite being told it would not cost the district anything, the mayor plans to ask council to support a motion next month directing staff to report back about any potential costs to the district of the program and the implications of supporting it. Whether he has the support for that motion to pass or not remains to be seen but last week there appeared to be no appetite by members of his council to support the program. This isn’t the first time a municipal council, or any government for that matter, has gone back after the fact and tried to change the perception of what it did. And it won’t be the last. In layman’s terms, it’s called spin doctoring. And it’s done for a myriad of reasons. But in the case of a local, provincial or federal government, the main reason is always public perception. In this case, it literally is a motherhood issue. Who could be against breastfeeding? But, as was pointed out by the two female members of West Kelowna council— Coun. Rosalind Neis, a nurse, and Carol Zanan, a former La Leche League volunteer, publicly encouraging breastfeeding is a two-edged sword. While those who do may feel empowered, those who don’t breastfeed may feel their decision is being publicly frowned upon or criticized. As for council, doing what the mayor said might happen—bringing it back for consideration at a later date—does not mean it was supported in the first place. It just means council appears to be having second thoughts.

Letters BREASTFEEDING
West Kelowna not clear on concept of inclusiveness Capital News website comments regarding Alistair Water’s story: Breastfeeding Push Debated, and Kathy Michael’s column: Smalltown Thinking Could Use Book Learnin’, March 13 Capital News. To the editor: All that putting up the signs would do is publicly say “we will uphold the laws in B.C. that allow a mother to breastfeed in public without harassment,” which frankly they have to do at the moment anyway. It is not condemning mothers who bottle feed or telling them they must breastfeed. It is adding a public layer of support to families who choose this feeding method for their babies. Amanda Martin To the editor: Fabulous column. Well said. It is really hard to be proud of your town when the people that run it are ridiculously small-minded. It seems that boobs are fine as long as they are just barely contained in a bikini top but heaven forbid you actually feed a child from them. By the way,when did you say the book burning was being held? Andrea Condon To the editor: Well stated column. I can only hope that the West Kelowna municipal council realizes, through the conversation generated, that they’re being viewed as having, by a wide margin, exceeded their credibility on this issue. Mark Conlin
COMMENTS FROM THE WEB kelownacapnews.com To the editor: I am prompted to write about the recent West Kelowna council decision to deny a request to identify breastfeeding-friendly areas in public buildings (Breastfeeding push debated, Capital News, March 13). I think the council members missed the point of the initiative. This is not about “forcing breastfeeding” on new moms, as Rosalind Neis fears. Nor is the program about putting pressure on bottle-feeding moms to breastfeed. The initiative is about making all moms feel comfortable, whether they are breastfeeding or bottle-feeding. It’s about inclusion and tolerance, not about criticizing one or the other. B.C. law states that it is discriminatory to ask a breast-feeding mother to cover up or to breastfeed somewhere else. Many municipalities across Canada and world-wide have stickers and posters such as these in their public buildings. I think West Kelowna should keep up with the times and realize that public perception is changing on this issue. I urge council to re-think this decision and support this Baby Friendly initiative.

Minimum wage To the editor: Re: B.C. Minimum Wage To Be Tied To Inflation, kelownacapnews.com March 12. Traditionally the Canadian Consumer Price Index has not included sectors such as food and energy because, as the rules of the game go, they are too volatile. How realistic is this? Then in B.C. we have that ‘extra’ tax imposed on us called the Medical Services Plan, where in all other provinces this comes out of general taxation. Don’t get me started on ICBC, which has the second highest rates in the country after Ontario. Do we also have to talk about the ‘free’ water [$2.25 per one million litres] that Nestle gets to tap so that they can sell it at monstrous markups. You (jobs minister Shirley Bond) and your government are out-to-lunch, as usual. Daryle Cosgrove To the editor: The BC Federation of Labour hates seniors on a fixed income. Raising the minimum wage means shops will have to raise the prices of their goods and services to make the payroll. When prices increase, seniors feel the pinch more than any other group. As far as those who complain that $10.45 is not enough…Show yourself to be the best possible employee, get further training and you won’t be stuck at minimum. John Barach Sr. To the editor: There has not been one study that proves prices rise when the minimum wage does. Hell, if you can only pay someone minimum wage you should not be in business. Dan G. Rawlings To the editor: If you pay your people more, they spend more. Also, $10.45 is not enough. Hms Spiff
JOBS THREATENED
Privatizing hospital laundries ‘would be disastrous’ To the editor: B.C. jobs for B.C. families? This apparently does not mean the families of the 179 hospital laundry workers throughout B.C.’s Interior. Laundry is a major part of the day-to-day running of a hospital. The running of our hospital laundries costs less than one per cent of the entire yearly budget. A Request for Solution has been sent forth to outside private companies to take over our laundry services. If approved, this will affect five major and six smaller hospitals, and will be the end of one of the decent paying jobs B.C. has to offer. Millionaires are getting tax breaks and certain officials are reaping the benefits of raises and bonuses. This is a perfect example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Some of the laundries do have aging infrastructure and equipment. Kelowna General Hospital just received a brand new press (kind of like a spin cycle washer) last February at a cost of $330,000. If approved, what will happen to that brand new piece of equipment? Privatizing the laundry within our hospitals would be disastrous. If this happens, we will have more semi-trucks driving in and out of our city; as most of these private companies are mostly located in the Lower Mainland.
More noise, more traffic, more air pollution. What happens in the winter when there are road closures? Where will our linen be? There is also a high risk of the linen being wet when shipped back to us, resulting in moldy unusable linen. The spreading of seriously contagious infections such as C difficile will become higher. Our hospital has grown significantly over the years and will continue to grow, meaning the use of linen will become greater. What happens when there isn’t enough linen on hand? Sure, we could get more delivered at an extra added cost. The private companies are all about making a profit after all. Also, as a result of not enough linen, the use of disposables will become higher, resulting in more waste in our landfills. Not a very ‘green’ way to go. KGH is one of the most efficient laundries in the country. Representatives from all of Canada and the U.S. have come to Kelowna to observe our running system and implement it back in their own hospital laundries. On a daily average, KGH puts through around 17,000 lbs. of linen within 16 hours. KGH keeps up with the demand of the entire hospital and surrounding care facilities. I am fighting to keep our laundry service inhouse. Linen may be a small thing to some, but to someone who is sick, a clean blanket
may be the only comfort they receive. How much more do we, the public, the working poor, taxpayers need to sacrifice? How much more are we willing to lose? How much are you willing to fight? Jessica Guthrie West Kelowna

Final farewell for retiring fire chief Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
The District of West Kelowna is publicly thanking its retiring fire chief for his years of service as his March 27 retirement date draws near.
Wayne Schnitzler has served as the area’s fire chief since before the municipality came into being in 2007. Prior to his appointment as the West Kelowna Fire Rescue Chief in 2008, he served as the fire chief for the
former Westside Fire Protection District. “We knew this day would come and are very pleased with the appointment of our new fire chief, Jason Brolund, but it is with a very heavy heart that I say goodbye to Chief Schnitzler,” said

Mayor Doug Findlater. “I know that all of council and, indeed, anyone who has ever met this great man, feels the same as I do.” Findlater called Schnitzler a positive, outgoing, intelligent man who brought a wealth of experience to the district’s fire service, which also provides service for Westbank First Nation lands and unincorporated areas on the west side of Okanagan Lake.
Wayne Schnitzler
“His professionalism and enthusiasm in his field earned him a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, nominated by his peers and he is indeed a local celebrity,” added Findlater. “But without a doubt, the thing I most want to thank Wayne for is his leadership and strength during our most trying times, our multiple emergency responses to forest fire threat. “I have watched him bring together multiple agencies under one command with little turmoil or conflict on numerous occasions, and I have stood at his side at countless press conferences and heard him deliver his calm, comforting messages to the public. “He will truly, truly be missed, and I dearly hope he will not disappear from public life completely.” Before moving to the Okanagan, Schnitzler began his professional life in the fire service in 1979 as a paid on-call firefighter with the City of Surrey, becoming a fulltime career firefighter in 1982. He worked his way up through the ranks, becoming a captain of training before being hired by the Westside Fire Protection District.

CONCERT Lynyrd Skynyrd Thursday, March 19 Prospera Place Kelowna Lynyrd Skynyrd rose to prominence in 1973, full of regional pride and stressing cocky, boisterous hard rock and openended blues. Their signature song, “Freebird,” complete with it fiery five-minute, three-guitar solo, is easily the most requested live song in existence. The band also recorded the seminal “Sweet Home Alabama” which was actually a musical retort to the negative tone to southerners portrayed by Neil Young in his song“Southern Man.” The continuing popularity of that song through the generations since is reflected in it having more than two million ringtone downloads.

The country vocal quintet won the $100,000 grand prize in an a cappella vocal competition. They also earned a recording contract with Sony Music and have released two albums so far, Crazy Life in February 2014 and a Christmas album, Full Of Cheer, last October. 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.

coordinate the opening of the museum’s next exhibition in conjunction with Asian Heritage Month. The concept behind living off the grid is about living independently, without relying on utility companies to provide electricity, natural gas, water or sewer. People live off the grid to be more in touch with nature; free of utility payments to companies. They also like the idea of reducing their impact on the environment, or removing themselves from an urban-based society.
A scene from the UBCO Theatre26 performance company stage production of Winners and Losers. Bang Bang on Feb. 13 via TuneCore. Recorded in Vancouver at Greenhouse Studios with up-and-coming producer Samuel Hewson Woywitka (Chin Injeti), Bang Bang is a five-song EP written by Cobra (axe, vocals) and Trevor Snakedust (organs, guitar, vocals) with additional assistance on arrangements by their drummer Pat Steward (Odds, Bryan Adams). The result is a blend of bluesy grit and greasy rock that will leave you lusting for more. “We’ve learned a lot while writing and recording this album,” said Ramone. “The industry has changed so much and keeps changing that it’s important to just grab it by the balls and not wait around for things to fall into our lap. The support of our fans has been amazing and the success of our Indiegogo campaign confirms that we’re on the right path. We’re stoked to do what we do and we’re really looking forward to bringing to the stage what we built in the studio.” Tickets available at the door. THEATRE Winners and Losers March 20,21 8 p.m.
UBCO University Theatre ADM026 on UBCO campus You’re either a winner or a loser. You can’t be both. That is the premise of Winners and Losers, the 2014-15 finale presentation by UBC Okanagan’s Theatre26 performance company. The staged conversation of Winners and Losers becomes a heated exchange between two friends. The contest embraces the ruthless logic of capitalism, and tests its impact on our closest personal relationships as well as our most intimate experiences of self. Theatre actors, playwrights, and longtime friends Marcus
Youssef and James Long sit at a table and play a game they made up, called Winners and Losers. In it, they name people, places, or things—Tom Cruise, microwave ovens, their fathers, rainforests, druids, etc.—and debate whether these things are winners or losers. As each seeks to defeat the other, the debate becomes highly personal, as they dissect each other’s individual, familial, and class histories. And because one of these men is the product of economic privilege, and the other not, the competition very quickly begins to cost. Theatre26 is operated by UBC Okanagan students

Melding humour, horror and lots of zombie action, All-Day Breakfast is an irreverent romp featuring a substituteteacher-turned-zombie who is desperate to find a cure for his “undead” condition. Schroeder lives in Penticton with his wife and two sons, and practises drums for hours at a time. He earned a master’s degree from UBC and teaches creative writing at UBC Okanagan.

Shailene Woodley (left), Theo James and Ansel Elgort star in The Divergent Series: Insurgent.
NEW MOVIES
Studio spins out second part of Divergent novel trilogy This time last year, Divergent was released trying to capitalize on the success of The Hunger Games. Like the latter, Divergent was based upon a young adult novel set in a dystopian future with a strong female lead. Although it did not reach the same heights, both in entertainment value (although it was still a good popcorn flick) and box office as Hunger Games, it was still a financial success. Since then, stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort have gone on to make the popular drama The Fault in Our Stars and increased their fan base. That, and the success of Divergent on DVD was well as winning Favourite Action Movie at both the Teen Choice Awards and People’s Choice Awards, means the sequel should be more successful than the original. The Divergent Series: Insurgent continues the story of Tris (Woodley) and Four (Theo James) as they search for allies and answers in the ruins of futuristic Chicago while on the run from the leader of the powerful Erudite faction (Kate Winslet). Racing against time, they must find out why her family sacrificed themselves to protect a truth that the Erudite will do anything to keep secret.
Movie Guy
RICK DAVIS Also returning for the sequel is Miles Teller (Whiplash), Jai Courtney (A Good Day to Die Hard), Zoë Kravitz (X-Men: First
Class), Maggie Q (TV’s Stalker), Mekhi Phifer and Ashley Judd as Tris’ mother (in flashbacks). Joining this impressive cast is Octavia Spencer (The Help), Daniel Dae Kim (TV’s Hawaii Five-O) and Naomi Watts (King Kong, Birdman). Like The Hunger Games, the final book in the Divergent trilogy, Allegiant, will be split into two movies. Part one will be released this time next year and part two will be released in March 2017. Also opening this weekend is an action thriller The Gunman which could do for Sean Penn what Taken did for Liam Neeson. As well, it is is directed by Pierre Morel, who directed Neeson in Taken. Based upon the novel The Prone Gunman by Jean-Patrick Manchette,
Penn stars as an international operative who wants out of the game so he can settle down with his longtime love. However, the organization he works for has other plans in mind and he is forced to go on the run. While it has a strong supporting cast including Idris Elba (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), Ray Winstone (Noah) and
Javier Bardem (Skyfall), it will be interesting to see how well it does, especially after the recent release of movies like American Sniper and Kingsman: The Secret Service and two Neeson action thrillers: Taken 3 and Run All Night.

Study reinforces suspected importance of vitamin D MARKUS THIEL almost 30 years later, particularly in females. There has been an overwhelming amount of previous compelling research citing the importance of vitamin D and the further enhancement of the immune system, especially during the
months of less exposure to sunlight (October to March). The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition produced a study in May 2010 that demonstrated clearly that children who had sufficient vitamin D levels have a marked reduction in the number of colds and flu’s as opposed to those children that did not have sufficient vitamin D levels. It is estimated that over

Last month, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism published an interesting paper regarding vitamin D levels in childhood and increased likelihood of developing atherosclerosis in adulthood. The study was conducted by Dr. Markus Juonala, of the University of Turku, Finland. Juonala and his researchers found that low levels of vitamin D in childhood were associated with increased carotid artery thickness
80 per cent of individuals in this specific climate are vitamin D deficient. One study cited that in the last five years, childhood deficiencies of vitamin D has increased by more than 200 per cent. The Royal Children’s Hospital, in Melbourne, Australia, stated that deficiencies in vitamin D and children can lead to other health problems such as a higher risk of bowel cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, problems
with immunity (how the body fights infections) and autoimmune diseases (including diabetes). For Juonala’s study, the researchers examined data gathered from 2,148 individuals in 1980. The subjects were between the ages of three and 18 years. Blood samples were taken once again at the 27th year follow-up, in 2007. In his study, they performed ultrasound measurements of the left carotid artery in all of the subjects.
SHOP
The analysis demonstrated that the girls in his study had significantly lower vitamin D levels than their counterparts, the boys in the study. In addition, they found that there was more severe carotid artery narrowing in the females, but not in the males. There was a correlated effect in the study, for instance, those in the 90th percentile of vitamin D deficiency developed significant adult risk ratios for atherosclerosis. Though the study had several criticisms, claiming that it was merely an observational study, it was clear that the implications of the study provided
enough evidence that further clinical studies need to be implemented with respect to vitamin D levels in children and cardiovascular health in later years. The vitamin D is one of the supplements that are on the radar today with respect to consideration and research. I think it should be an important part of everybody’s supplement regime, especially during these winter months and especially with our children.

Owls finish season on a high Warren Henderson
The Kelowna Christian Knights celebrate their gold medal win Saturday at the B.C. high school A boys basketball championship in Langley.
B.C. BOYS A CHAMPIONS
Knights rebound way to B.C. gold Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
A power of B.C. A boys basketball for close to a decade, the Kelowna Christian Knights are back on top in 2015. The Knights, ranked No. 5 heading into the provincial championship in Langley, turned aside the No. 2-ranked Immaculata Mustangs in an all-Kelowna final on Saturday in Langley. Tournament MVP and 6-foot-3 senior Jesse Stewart was at the top of his game, scoring 15 points and, more importantly, pulling down a championship-high 23 rebounds as KCS claimed gold with a 59-46 victory. KCS co-coach Dean Neufeld said the Knights’ success was due largely to the team’s work under and around the basket—particularly by Stewart. “Rebounding was the difference,” said Neufeld. “(Co-coach) Tim Martens called it a ‘Party at the dump’…our guys got to the hoop and really cleaned up on both sides. Jesse (Stewart) led the way and was outstanding.” The Knights were in control from the game’s early stages and led by 11 after the opening quarter. Immaculata was unable stem the rebounding tide of the Knights who out-boarded the Mustangs 69-47. Owen Klucas, the tournament’s top defensive player, added 16 points and
13 rebounds for for KCS. Cruz Anderson also had 16 points in the victory. Senior guard Michael Gini led Immaculata with 18 points, while Corbin Beauchemin had 15. Anderson, Gini and Immaculata’s Riley Bruschinsky were all named to the tournament’s all-star team. It was the fourth meeting of the season between the longtime rivals from Kelowna, with the Mustangs having won two of the first three—including the Okanagan Valley final. But it was the Knights who delivered when it mattered most. “It’s a great rivalry between these teams and (Mustangs’) coach Dino (Gini) does such a great job with that program, they’re aggressive and well-coached,” said Neufeld. “It was another showdown that we just found a way to come out on top of this time.” It was Kelowna Christian’s fifth B.C. A title win since in eight seasons. KCS also won the provincial 2A title in 2013. The 2015 champs are: Carter Martens, Cruz Anderson, Ethan Van Dyk, Geo Woudwijk, Jackson Bourne, Jackson Cockwill, James Flood, Javen Davis, Jesse Stewart, Jordan Stewart, Nathan Christophe, Nathan Hettinga and Owen Klucas. The coaches are Tim Martens and Dean Neufeld.
A heart-wrenching loss in the semifinals could have just easily sucked the life right out of the Kelowna Owls. Instead, the KSS squad decided there was only one way it wanted to remember the B.C. high school boys basketball season—with a victory. On Saturday in Langley, the Owls soared past the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs 100-79 to win the bronze medal at the provincial 4A championship. The third-place effort equalled the best ever performance by a KSS team as the 1990 Owls also won a bronze medal. KSS, ranked third heading into provincials, had a potential B.C. title in their sights, but fell short Friday in the semifinal 84-79 to the second-ranked Yale Lions. The Owls trailed by just a point with 39 seconds remaining but couldn’t come up with the winning play. While the loss was a tough pill to swallow, KSS co-captain Parker Simson said it wasn’t enough to deprive his teammates of the desire to conclude the season on a high. “It sort of came down to who wanted it the most,” said Simson, a second team all-star at provincials. “Churchill lost their (semifinal) at the buzzer and I think that really affected them. “What I saw in our guys is that everybody was all in for it, they wanted to do it for the seniors and we all wanted to go out with a medal,” Simson added. “We didn’t play our best against Yale and didn’t get exactly what we wanted…but it was still a pretty good feeling to end like that and we

Pendharkar and Jordan White. Led by Simson, the Owls will have a solid returning corps next season which many believe will make KSS the favourites in B.C. high school basketball in 2016. With likes of Shephard, Lafontaine, Davide Ciancio and co-captain Nav Sandhu, Simson likes what lies ahead for the KSS program. “We have a pretty strong base coming back,” said Simson.
“We didn’t get what we wanted, so this gives us something to work for next year. We know what it takes now to win and we’ve got some really good players who have been there.” Earlier this winter, the Owls the became just the second KSS team and the first in 33 years to win the Western Canada Basketball Tournament in Kelowna, defeating Winnipeg’s Oak Park in the final. @capnewsports.ca

Chartier closes in on 50 Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Rourke Chartier is happy to be back. For the Kelowna Rockets, the feeling is mutual. After missing eight games with an upper body injury, the 18-yearold centre made a conspicuous return to the WHL team’s lineup Saturday night, promptly notching his team-leading 47th goal in a 2-1 win over Kamloops. With three games left, Chartier needs to average a goal per night to reach the seldom-achieved 50goal plateau. While Chartier admits it would be a nice feat, the Saskatoon native isn’t putting too much emphasis on personal goals. “I hadn’t really thought a lot about it this year, but you get this close and yeah, it would be nice to say I got to 50,� said Chartier. “On the other hand, it’s not a big deal if I don’t get it, I think I’ve had a pretty good year as it is.
Rourke Chartier
“The most important thing is the team and as long as we’re winning these last few games, that’s all that matters.� “It will happen if it was meant to happen,� Rockets coach Dan Lambert said of Chartier’s path towards 50 goals. “He’s had an unbelievable year regardless of how it ends. I don’t think anyone really expected to see what he’s done.� The last Rockets player to break the 50-goal barrier was Justin Keller who netted 51 during the 2005-06 season.
CAPITAL news KELOWNA
Meanwhile, the 201415 the Rockets still have team goals in mind, not the least of which is trying to finish first overall for the second consecutive season. Kelowna (51-13-4-1) is currently two points back of the Brandon Wheat Kings (51-11-4-3) for first overall in the WHL. On Wednesday, Kelowna will host the Seattle Thunderbirds in a 7 p.m. face off at Prospera Place.
Forward Tyrell Goulbourne is expected back in the Kelowna lineup after missing the last two games with a lower body injury. The Rockets will close out the regular season this weekend with a home-and-home set against the Vancouver Giants. The teams will face off on Friday in Vancouver, before wrapping up the season Saturday at Prospera Place.

Calgary’s Ellis to join Heat soccer next fall Along with pursuing a post-secondary education at UBC Okanagan, Calgary product Madelyn Ellis will look to hone her soccer skills next fall in Canada West with the Heat women’s squad. Ellis, a 5-foot-5 midfielder, has been on coach Claire Paterson’s radar since appearing at the Whitecaps Showcase
Madelyn Ellis
and attending the Heat fall player ID camp. “We were impressed by her tenacity and work ethic on the field,” Paterson said UBCO’s latest recruit. “She has very good speed and vision on the field which will be an asset to us as we look to build upon our current roster.” Coming out of
William Aberhart High in Calgary, Ellis currently plays for the U18 Tier 1 Blizzard Hurricanes in her hometown. Consistently ahead of the curve with her physical development and soccer savvy, she was notably called up to attend club provincials and then club nationals at the age of fifteen. She captieed the Alberta Club
Provincial championship that same 2013 year before going on to wrap up seventh at nationals. Most recently Ellis was named the MVP of the 2014 U18 Shane Homes All-Star Game, for which she also received a scholarship award. Ellis will put her scholarship to good use in the Faculty of Science and will major in
Biology. Sunny Okanagan weather, particularly in the summer and early fall, was a strong motivator for Ellis. “My decision was (to attend UBC Okanagan) was made based upon the beautiful weather in the Okanagan, whereas winter never ends in Calgary,” she said, before
adding that there was also strong motivation after meeting with the Heat coaching staff. “The (team) has done nothing but improve over the past few years, and it would be an absolute pleasure to participate in the efforts of becoming one of the strongest contributors in the CIS league.”
OC BASEBALL
The Okanagan College Coyotes look to be in fine form heading into the Canadian College Baseball Conference season.
The Coyotes, who have won 13 straight games at home, will open the 2015 regular season this weekend at Elks Stadium to the Calgary Dinos and
Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs. The first series opens Friday at 6 p.m. against the Dinos. OC and Calgary will play again Saturday at noon, followed by the Coyotes and Dawgs at 6 p.m. PBA and OC will wrap up the weekend with 1 p.m. start on Sunday. The Coyotes are coming off a five-game sweep of their opponents last weekend—four against Edmonton and one from the Okanagan Athletics. “We have been playing solid baseball lately,” said OC head coach Geoff White. “We have been getting quality pitching for the most part, been swinging the bats much better and executing at situational hitting.” The statistical leaders for the Coyotes over the five games were: • Tony Olson—4-8, 3 doubles, 5 stolen base • Braden Heyland—6-12, 3 Runs, 4 RBI • Brandon Graham—6-9, double, 5 runs, 2 RBI • Bryan Elias—4-8, triple, run, 4 RBI • Austin Orsted—5.1IP, 1ER, 1 H, 6 K • Marcus Drewry—7IP, 1 R, 3 H, 7 K

The youngest member on the team, Ella Rolleston, 11, showed her confidence, posting three best times in the 50 and 100 FL as well as the 200 IM. “The team did a remarkable job of
swimming to where they are capable of, rising above the nerves of competition,” said AquaJets coach Peter Wilkins. Following the meet, senior member of the team Josh Zakala, 16, competed in the B.C. Open competition, which was set up as Long Course at UBC. In his last meet before Spring Nationals, Zakala showed that he will be ready to be compete, coming away with a handful of medals in some tight races.

PETERS, ESTHER MARJORIE (Bakstad) March 3, 1925 ~ March 12, 2015
It is with sadness that we announce that Esther passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 12th at Kelowna General Hospital at the age of 90. She is survived by her daughter Yvonne (John) Baumer, grandchildren Jason (Sarah), Ryan (Mya) and Georgia her three great-grandchildren Mateya, Devyn and Treian will miss their “G.G.” Brother Clifford (Helen) and numerous nieces and nephews in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. She was predeceased by her husband of 53 years, Frank in 2000, daughter Karen in 1971, her parents Mathias and Hilda Bakstad, brother Lyle, sister Elvina, niece Linda. Esther was the 1st baby born in the hamlet of La Glace, Alta on March 3, 1925. She was schooled and worked in this Norwegian community until 1945 when she went to teach school in the Dawson Creek, BC area. This is where she met her husband Frank and they were married in 1947. In the spring of 1949 they started their long career on the Alaska Hwy., raising their two daughters in Dawson Creek, Prophet River, Muncho Lake and then moving to Watson Lake, Y.T., in 1963. She made many lifelong friends during these years and was known to many as their “extra grandma”. It was in Watson where she started working for CIBC and she continuedwith them until she and Frank retired back to La Glace in 1981 to care for her mom and be near many relatives. Esther enjoyed activities with the Calvary Lutheran Church, the Twilite Club and the Community of La Glace. She loved working on family history, cooking, curling, playing cards, knitting and quilting (many of us have one of her handmade treasures) and 5th wheeling especially when her grandchildren were with them. After Frank’s passing in 2000 Esther moved into Grande Prairie and then in 2006 moved to West Kelowna to live with her daughter and son-in-law. She loved being able to spend more time visiting with her grandchildren and her 3 great grandchildren brought her such joy. She loved seeing the blossoms and fruit growing on the trees, the harvesting of the wine grapes and enjoying lunches with the Happiness Group at Grace Lutheran Church. Sadly in the last years Esther suffered from neuralgia (from Shingles) and dementia. We will miss her loving smile, her easy way, and her humour and laughter that touched all who knew her. A special thank you to Pastor Ed Skutshek, Pastor Dave Wunderlich for their visits and prayers, Dr. A Hugo and the staff of 4East at KGH for her care. A memorial will be announced at a later date at which time her ashes will be laid to rest beside her husband and daughter in the Alaska Hwy Cemetery in Dawson Creek, B.C. In Remembrance donations may be made to the Calvary Lutheran Church (La Glace, Alta), Cancer Society or the Alzheimer Society. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Daisy is survived by her daughter, Cindy; her son, Dale (Ronda); daughter-in-law, Crista; fourteen grandchildren; three great-grandsons; her sister, Julia; sisters-in-law, Rose, Julia and Joan; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins; other extended family and friends. Daisy was predeceased by her husbands, Albert and Andrew; devoted son, Thomas Albert; her treasured granddaughters, Kathryn Lesley and Nicole Janna; her parents, Sidor and Nellie Warwa and her brothers, Elmer, Roy, Adam and Arthur. Mom made an impression of sorts wherever she went. She will be remembered by her strength of character, sense of humour and delight in a good time. Mom taught us many life lessons. In her final days, she silently taught us about the precious gift of time and about communication from the heart. Our family will be forever grateful for the outstanding care that Mom received at the Red Deer Regional Hospital, especially from the exceptional nursing team on Unit 33. You are a credit to your profession. Divine Liturgy Thursday, March 19 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church, 9507 Austin O’Brien Road (95 Avenue and 64 Street), Edmo ton. Reverend Julian Bilyj officiatingwith interment in Evergreen Memorial Gardens. Donations may be made to the CNIB, 15 Colonel Baker Place NE, Calgary, AB T2E 4Z3.

Economy CHOPSTICKS ASIAN TASTE RESTAURANT
Chopsticks Asian Taste Restaurant has opened at 34-10071 Main St. (beside the MarketPlace IGA) in Lake Country. Recently relocating from Vernon, the restaurant is owned and operated by Paul Lu and Susan Feng, who are charming people. We were delighted to have the buffet and it was very good. Along with a large array of Chinese items, they also offered a pan-seared white fish, green beans, mushrooms, mussels, crab legs and a salad bar, fresh fruit and dessert. I also had the Wonton soup and it was hot and delicious. There are different items offered every week.

Liquid Venom is a new, unique business located at 2-1385 Stevens Rd. in West Kelowna (behind Byland’s). Owned and operated by Shannon Nickerson and Jennifer Wood, the business name is not about images of fang-bearing reptiles or unfriendly arachnids. The word creative comes more to mind. It is a business
of hydrographics, which is the term for water transfer printing or hydrodipping. An object, such as a motorcycle helmet, is literally dipped or submerged into water and painted. Anything from ATVs and snowmobiles to guns, motorcycles, car parts or cabinets can be painted with this hydrographic process. Shannon and Jennifer have also partnered with wellknown award-winning artists Paul Butvila to offer added customer airbrushing service for their clients. Call 778-755-2266; online okanaganhydrographics. com.
Examples of the hydrographics painting process applied to a motorbike and a rifle.
