A cycle of hopelessness and helpfulness Gospel Mission client Benjamin holds the door open to the Leon Avenue homeless shelter in downtown Kelowna.

Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Standing outside of the Gospel Mission last week I was speaking with a couple of homeless men trying to better understand their situation, the job the Gospel Mission does and the people it serves. With camera in hand I snapped a few pictures of the outside of the non-descript building on Leon Avenue that every night is home to up to 80 homeless men and a handful of women, and inside includes things like a dental clinic and a kitchen that last year served more than 150,000 meals. Many of our city’s homeless—the majority suffering from drug

addiction, mental health issues or both—were returning to the mission mid-morning, entering to grab a coffee or a warm drink and rest in what is, likely, the only home they have. One man clad in a leather jacket veered away from the door and approached me directly. “Did you get me in one of those pictures,” he says matter-offactly. “You better delete it.” I’m an outsider here. The only other time I see these people is to drive past them. I decline when asked for money. I look the other way figuring I have my own problems. Like a lot of the working public, I have no idea what the homeless go through on a daily basis, why they are in this situation, who is helping them or how they can possibly turn

Inside the Gospel Mission:

it around. I’ve ignored them, shook my head, shrugged my shoulders. “I probably had a similar attitude about the homeless when I came into this job and that was probably based on ignorance,” said Randy Benson, executive director of the Gospel Mission, of his start on the job some 14 years ago. “I didn’t understand. We are all one or two paycheques away from this.” Back outside and returning to my conversation with a middleaged homeless man who introduced himself as Benjamin, he points towards the door to the mission.

them,” he said. “I was talked down to by the people that work there. “I’m not putting everyone in the same basket. Some of them were competent where I felt secure and some of them were in, ‘I don’t care mode.’ It’s just a job. I heard it all the time: ‘You’re lucky we are here.’” When I met with Tim, he was adamant something had to be done at the Gospel Mission. He was vowing to make public what he saw. That’s how I ended up outside, snapping pictures, talking to homeless men and meeting with Randy Benson, the mission’s executive director. “I know it’s not a matter of the staff not caring, it’s if they have the time to give because everyone needs something,” said Benson, adding Tim wasn’t the first, nor will he be the last, to examine what happens in the mission. “I don’t think anyone is just here for the paycheque. You have to have a heart for these people to stay here. I know one of the frustrations the staff expressed is they feel frustration at not being able to give more one-onone. But you have four people dealing with 80 homeless.” During the evenings, when as many as 80 men file in to fill the beds at the Gospel Mission, there are just four employees, spread out over the building. The homeless must store luggage and their belongings in a secure locker and are given pajamas, access to a shower and a bed in the dorm room.

“That’s the problem in there,” he said. “They have the wolves in with the sheep. You have people trying to get off drugs but then you have the criminal element coming in and selling drugs.” Wolves among sheep. A cycle of hopelessness fuelled by addiction and crime. It’s another world most of us choose to ignore but some are tackling head on. ••• Unless you are living it, it’s hard to understand what it’s like to be homeless in Kelowna. But for a Montreal businessman I will call Tim, being homeless in Kelowna became his life for almost a month early this year. Tim, 52, isn’t homeless. In fact, he had enough money to stay in one of Kelowna’s nicer hotels if he wanted. A self-described humanitarian who watched his son struggle with a crack cocaine addiction for nine years before overcoming it, Tim arrived in Kelowna in February of this year to see family. Trusting, he befriended a couple at a local pub and they robbed him of $7,000 cash. With no money at hand, he decided to go to the Gospel Mission to see what happens to someone who has no other resources for survival. He pretended he was homeless. For 28 days, Tim was sheltered at the Gospel Mission, living among Kelowna’s homeless. He did spend a few nights in hotel because, in his own words, he just couldn’t take it. But what he witnessed was

Montreal businessman Tim (not his real name) spent a month living at the Gospel Mission to investigate what it’s like to live homeless in Kelowna. a shock to the system. Drug use and abuse, apathy, hopelessness. The situation, he said, is dire. He said the community of homeless people in Kelowna live in a vicious cycle of drug abuse, a system he says enables them to stay homeless. And the majority of the public just doesn’t care. “I felt depressed. I felt lonely. I felt ignored. I felt degraded,” said Tim after voluntarily leaving the mission and heading home. “People drive by in their cars and look to see who is out there. “They drive by and think these are the assholes of the community. I was one of them standing on the

doorstep. I saw people mistreat others in such a way that made me feel ashamed to be Canadian.” More than ashamed, Tim was scared to go back to Leon Avenue. After leaving the Gospel Mission and deciding to share his story with the Kelowna Capital News, he didn’t want to go near Leon or be back among the homeless, some of whom had questioned whether he really needed the help. What he saw will stay with him for a long time. “I took this on as a humanitarian experience,” he said. “I’m hoping someone hears this story and cares,

I met people who were dangerous, so mentally unstable it’s frightening. “Why are they just walking the streets? They don’t know what to do. They are just lost. They think this is the way it is, this is our life.” Inside the Gospel Mission, Tim said he witnessed workers who were uncaring, not helping, apathetic to the people they are there to serve. Not all of them, but some. “People would come in drunk or stoned and they would just laugh at

Gospel Mission outreach worker JoAnne McKenzie goes one-of-one of Kelowna’s homeless.

Reaching out to the homeless Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Every day at 6:30 a.m., the men and women who have taken up shelter overnight at the Gospel Mission begin another cycle of survival. Most of them will be back for coffee, lunch and dinner at the mission and will find themselves back in a bed overnight. But for some homeless, the Gospel Mission isn’t part of their lives. Enter outreach worker JoAnne McKenzie, who also begins her day at 6:30 a.m.and heads out to work with chronically homeless people, those that are not using the shelter and opt to stay in parks, church parking lots or gazebos. “A lot of them don’t want to come inside, whether it’s addiction or other issues, so we go outside with them and we work alongside them on their turf,” she said. “The first thing is building trust.” While four case workers meet and work with the homeless inside the Gospel Mission, trying to get their lives back on track and move them towards treatment, affordable housing and back towards mainstream society, the two outreach workers attempt to get the chronically homeless to use the shelter. Most don’t have identification which means they can’t get on social assistance and many times it takes as much as a year or more to get their consent to work with them.

Telling your story most accurately —the Kelowna Capital News

A wholesale change in the way the Mounties conduct internal business may be the only thing to keep the national police force functional, says an advocate of unionization. Earlier this month, the Mounted Police Professional Association held meetings across the Okanagan, aimed at educating RCMP members about the benefits of unionizing, a right recently made possible with a Supreme Court decision handed down in January. “We conclude,” the Supreme Court majority wrote at that time, “that the s. 2(d)

guarantee of freedom of association protects a meaningful process of collective bargaining that provides employees with a degree of choice and independence sufficient to enable them to determine and pursue their collective interests.” It concluded the current regime denies Mounties that choice and “imposes on them a scheme that does not permit them to identify and advance their workplace concerns free from management’s influence.” Although the court didn’t explicitly endorse moving forward with unionization, association representative Rob Creasser said that’s the best option.

“We are light years behind every other Canadian and international police agency when it comes to having the right of collective bargaining and having a meaningful say on pay, benefits and working conditions,” said Creasser, noting officers in more than 250 police forces in Canada are already unionized. He says the absence of that ability has made the RCMP a toxic workplace. Creasser echoed what the local police superintendent has often said, noting that regional detachments are grossly under-staffed. “If you took a community policed by RCMP and compare it

to a community policed by the Ontario Provincial Police, the caseload per member would be 1.5 to two times higher for the RCMP,” he said, adding that a recent report on RCMP staffing calls for 5,000 new members, immediately. Wages, he said, are also $8,000 to $10,000 less in the RCMP than they are in other police forces. “So we are working harder for less money right now,” he said. Those conditions have created a toxicity that has spilled out onto the communities the Mounties are supposed to protect. “I’m not trying to make excuses,” he said. “But there are quite a few people who are off on stress related leave because they can’t handle it anymore, and that exacerbates an existing shortage, and that puts more pressure on those who are left behind.” In this area alone, there were a series of court cases involving Kelowna Mounties and community members. Of particular note was the case with Buddy Tavares, a brain injured man who was kicked in the head by a Mountie after he had submitted to arrest. The volume of those kinds of stories have abated, seemingly in tandem with increased police staffing. On the national stage, the problems keep popping up as well. The question may just be whether or not change is affordable. “Our system of labour relations hasn’t informed the public about the challenges we face,” Creasser said. “I think if people know, they’re supportive. Now that I’m a civilian, if I think about living in a community of 80,000 people with only four RCMP members on the rad, I’d chip in more money.” If that doesn’t happen, he said, it might be time for the RCMP to get out of community policing

MISSION FROM A3 Drugs and alcohol are not permitted inside. But Tim said he was approached in the dorms to purchase drugs and also witnessed drug use inside. “If we find anyone around the facility is selling drugs or trying to peddle drugs we give them a loss of service,” explained Benson. “That is a constant battle because when you have people dealing with addictions and trying to

gain some sense of victory over that, they are going to be vulnerable to the people that want to prey on them. It’s part of the reality of the emergency shelter. It’s not isolated to Kelowna. It’s everywhere. “The high percentage of people we see are dealing with addiction or mental illness or both and those are the most vulnerable to the people that want to prey on them. I won’t kid you that it’s not a problem but we certainly do our best to create as safe of a place

as we can.” ••• A couple of days after I first talked to Benjamin, who first came to Kelowna in 2004 and said he was a carpenter by trade, I went back to find him. I couldn’t stop thinking about him and his life and what had brought him to the streets, how he is surviving. Like clock-work, there he was, ambling up the street towards the mission at coffee time, stopping to pick-up a tossed away

He talked about global issues, ways other countries are dealing with drug and homeless problems, solutions to Kelowna’s problems. In the end, I walked away with more questions than answers. I have no idea how to help and no clue how hard it would be for someone to bounce back and get back on their feet, living amongst the wolves. “This (the mission) is all great but every person is a drug dealer and if they aren’t a drug dealer their friends are,” he said. “There are people who need drugs, people who want drugs and all of the people are on welfare. It’s a thriving community of thieves and it doesn’t matter what it is someone will buy it.” Montreal native Tim, back home now with his family, says the public needs to understand the situation and do whatever

they can to help. “What I have done here is hopefully by bringing it to light the people in this area will be able to do something and help them out and to be aware that it exists in your community,” he said. “People should be ashamed that a human being would have to sleep in the street and be enabled with our tax money to just keep on doing what they are doing.” For Benson, he says they are there to catch the people that fall through the cracks of society. It’s their last chance to try to turn it around. “I’m positive about what we do and I’m still realistic that there is a lot more we could be doing,” said Benson. “I think there are a lot of great partnerships and collaboration and I think as a community we are doing very well with the resources we have. “As agencies we work together to try and figure out how we can do better. We are the safety net.

a case worker while the chronically homeless will not be receiving regular visits from either of the mission’s outreach workers, who often travelled with other health care providers. “It’s one of the things about being not-for-profit and raising the funds,” said executive director Randy Benson. “It’s tough out there. We’re still working on a few options because we obviously believe in the program. We know that segment of the homeless population is going to be left without support.” While the homeless situation may seem hopeless to some, there are also many successes the Gospel Mission has had, moving people off the streets and into treatment. McKenzie tells the story of a woman from Vancouver’s downtown East Side who came to Kelowna and lived on the streets for 18 months before she agreed to get help. She entered detox, treatment and then into independent housing. Another woman was found by outreach workers addicted to heroin and pregnant, living in a tent. Over the course of a year-and-ahalf, the woman was able to get into a shelter, get off heroin, have her baby and now has full custody of the child. “They are not any different than us,” said McKenzie. “They are just down on their luck. If we cut each other’s wrists the blood is the same colour. It could happen to anyone of us at any time.”

at me doing what was best for my baby, in my own home. After this, I did my best to remain covered. As my baby grew older, the cover drew more attention rather than less as my baby would play peek-a-boo with it while feeding, or scream and pull it off. Without a cover to remain ‘discreet,’ we retreated to parenting rooms and corners of bathrooms, in the sweltering (or freezing) car before entering a restaurant; and after awhile of being separated from friends and families while I fed, I chose to not hide away and started supplementing bottles instead. And each time I decided to supplement a bottle rather than ‘indiscreetly’ feed, my breasts slowly started making less and less milk. I was unable to make enough to feed my baby, society said. This was actually common, people told us, most women don’t make enough milk to feed their babies. I was taught that it was my body’s fault. But it was not my body’s fault.

Gov’t undercuts those most in need There are few things the provincial government has done in terms of Kathartic education that made me think: ‘Wow, these are good people running our province.’ KATHY The one instance I remember was MICHAELS the 2008 decision to offer tuitionfree adult education to those getting high school level prerequisites for post secondary programs. That funding has been a help for those who needed a boost onto the path of higher education, and this year alone in the Central Okanagan 150 adults are enrolled on the province’s dime. It seems like a solid investment. As a late bloomer, I had to take a few high school courses I’d previously avoided so I could enter the university program of my choice. It was 1997, and I was working a thankless low wage job, living on my own, and the thought I’d have to pay for high school courses was discouraging. It wasn’t impossible. My youth had its advantages, the most significant of which at that point being that I was my only responsibility and I had already been given a clear idea of the life I

wanted to live. But what if I didn’t have that edge, like so many others? Chances are, if I had a child to care for, or any significant financial burden or impediment, dishing out a few hundred bucks on classes I already had a whack at would have been enough of a stumbling block that further education would have been off the agenda entirely. It would have taken away my earning power, and my ability to further invest in the economy financially and socially. It would have also significantly diminished my child’s chances at engaging in the economy in those same ways. This government is all about economic engagement, or so they’ve said between occasions of hacking away at the social welfare safety net and opening the door for ever-increasing tuition rates at post secondary institutions. So I’m confused about this decision to obscure the view of upward mobility for those who need it most by axing funding for adult high school upgrading.

Career options for those who don’t have post secondary training of some sort are pretty bleak for British Columbians. It’s a pretty safe assumption that those adults who haven’t already engaged in some higher learning aren’t in a position to shell out the estimated $425 it takes to afford the high school courses that will allow them to gain entry to establishments of higher learning. And, for the record, there are no student loans or payment plans available for high school programs, although there are grants for the lowest income earners. Not enough to make up for what’s being taken away, but something—if you’re looking for that kind of thing. Even if you’re not, and you have the means to pay, think how programming will atrophy as those who are no longer able to attend high school programs turn their back on post secondary options. All in all, it’s a kick in the gut to those who need a shot at getting a better crack at life. Not the kind of move that should go unnoticed, at the very least. Changes to the program are going to be set in stone as of May 1. Let’s not let it pass unnoticed and remind our elected officials that it’s not fair or good to make cuts to those who need them most.

FortisBC says keeping Out of control old meter is not an option RDCO DOG CONTROL

To the editor: RDCO (Regional District of the Central Okanagan) is spending $1.5 million on dog control in this new budget, but there is no dog control whatsoever in my subdivision. In fact, I have been listening to excessive and overnight barking for six years now. RDCO told me that my behaviour has to change before I get any dog control, because I got mad about the lack of dog control. The same people walk their dog off leash daily. There is shit piled high along the road. There are at-large dogs coming into my yard. I think it’s time to remove government and I am not joking. Life would be a lot better if we had some control over our government instead of government having control over us, raping us of our money and getting nothing for it but grief. I think it is time we had people working for us instead of against us. I feel that we have to work 100 times harder than government to get anything done. It shouldn’t take forever to try and get some frigg’n dog control. Friday March 27, 2015 at 9 a.m. is RDCO’s budget meeting where you are allowed to talk just before they pass the budget that they have already decided on. They don’t hold a budget meeting on a day people have off work. They make sure they hold a budget meeting so that people won’t have time to have a say. I suggest you speak up about the lack of dog control and the extraordinary cost associated with it, and the way RDCO is treating some people like me. RDCO is the biggest bully around telling me that my behaviour needs to change before I get any dog control. I am paying for dog control, but not getting anything for my money. In my opinion we don’t need a government, we need people who work for us, not against us. Sharon Schnurr, Kelowna

To the editor: We would like to provide our customers with some additional information regarding our advanced metering rollout currently underway in Kelowna. FortisBC is currently upgrading electricity meters in Kelowna with advanced meters, in part to meet changing Measurement Canada regulations. This project was approved after a public process with our regulator, the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC), in which a commission panel determined the meters pose no risk to our customers and are in the public interest. Wireless advanced meters make it less costly for FortisBC to deliver electricity to you by reducing theft and reducing meter reading costs. Utilities throughout North America have been challenged with finding ways to continue providing safe and reliable electricity service at the lowest reasonable cost, while maintaining and upgrading the electricity grid to keep up with rising demand. With more than 50 million advanced meters now installed in North America, utilities have turned to these modern meters as a costeffective and beneficial step in that direction. You may have heard about problems with meters in Saskatchewan that had to be removed due to reported mechanical issues that allowed moisture to get inside the meter. FortisBC is using advanced meters from a different manufacturer and has already successfully installed over 40,000 meters in the Trail and Kelowna areas. Some people have raised concerns about the wireless signals. Health Canada has set out radiofrequency exposure guidelines through Safety Code 6 [http:// tiny.cc/w5dpvx]. The BC Utilities Commission reviewed expert evidence regarding those guidelines and found they provide protection and a safety factor and concluded that “… based on the scientific evidence, that FortisBC

FortisBC billing ‘manipulative’ To the editor: The manipulative creativity of Fortis Gas administrators and our Provincial Government never ceases to amaze me. We now have a new charge called Storage and Transport. What is the difference between Transport and the already existing Delivery Charge?

Bottom line is that the Cost of Gas (the gas you actually use) is a fractional amount of the total of all the other charges: Basic Charge, Delivery Charge, Storage and Transport, Franchise Fee, Carbon Tax, Clean Energy Levy and GST. For February, one of the coldest months of the year, I used only $29.87 worth

of gas, yet my total bill is $98.97. That’s 70% of addons of the actual gas I used. It is worse in the summer, of course, when 6.5% of the bill goes to the gas I use and a whopping 93.5 to the other charges - charges I can do nothing about. Where’s the incentive to conserve? Lynda Zorn, Kelowna

Shaming leads to feeding trouble BREASTFEEDING FROM A8 Now that I know better, I know that it was society’s fault—cultural pressure to hide away, to not feed my baby whenever and wherever my baby needed to feed, to not feed on demand and society’s refusal to acknowledge my legal right to do so. This pressure to hide away is killing breastfeeding relationships everywhere. It is shaming our mothers into thinking their bodies cannot make enough milk, because they are pressured to hide away to feed their most precious children. Our laws in B.C. protect a mother’s right to breastfeed whenever and wherever her baby needs to eat, without harassment. By acknowledging and initiating a baby-friendly

environment, we are not shaming mothers who choose to bottle feed, they already know they are doing what is best for their babies and their families. What you are doing is giving those who want to breastfeed but are struggling, your support. You are saying to those mothers: ‘Go ahead, we know your right to breastfeed is protected and you are safe from judgement here.’ You are protecting so many breastfeeding relationships that are on the verge of failure without some help. And let me remind you: Our laws already support our mothers, it’s time we did too. Amanda Martin, CD(DONA) certified doula, Kelowna

customers would experience RF exposure from AMI meters far below the limits of Safety Code 6.” You may have seen misinformation stating that those with pacemakers will be put at risk because of the wireless signals. While you should always review the proper operation of your pacemaker with your doctor, medical devices are designed to safely coexist with common wireless devices like AMI meters and Wi-Fi routers. There are some customers who would prefer to keep their old meter. This is not an option for a number of reasons, including the fact that analog meters are no longer manufactured. However, we do provide an option for customers who prefer to receive an advanced meter with the wireless signals disabled. This option, along with the associated fees that ensure the costs of the radio-off option are not subsidized by other customers, was also reviewed and approved by the BCUC. Whatever type of AMI meter you choose, rest assured that it will be installed in a safe manner by properly trained personnel. They will knock on your door before the exchange in case you are home and wish to turn anything off before the brief power disruption. They will then remove your old meter, inspect the meter base and install your new meter. In most cases, your power will be back on in a few minutes. FortisBC has safely exchanged tens of thousands of meters in this manner for many decades. We remain committed to providing you with a safe and reliable electricity service. We encourage customers who have questions about these meters to call us at 1-866-436-7847 or visit fortisbc.com/ami. Mark Warren, P. Eng., Director, Customer Service, Technology and Systems, FortisBC

Record-breaking winter Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

KELOWNA

If you need something to raise a glass to, wait until 3:45 p.m. today and bid an official adieu to winter. Spring will be sprung at that moment, says Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells, noting that it marks the end of a particularly mild winter. The first time it snowed this winter was Nov. 21, and the last time it snowed was Feb. 5 and all in all, total precipitation (rain and snow) amounted to 107.2 centimetres. “If we were to compare that number to a normal year, we are at 111 per cent of normal,” Coldwells said. Where conditions differ is the way that amount came down. “Most of it fell during that monster snowstorm at the beginning of January,” she said. There were between 35 to 40 centimetres across town during that storm,

which is where the bulk of the season’s snow fell. “Temperatures on the other hand have been quite warm,” she said. For December, January and February, Kelowna usually sees a mean temperature—which reflects daytime highs and overnight lows—of -2 C. This year the mean temperature was 0.9 C, which is two whole degrees above the usual seasonal average. For January the mean temperature was very close to normal at 1.9 C this year compared to the usual 1.8 C. It was in February that everything started to heat up. “That’s when we started seeing a good warming trend,”she said. Between Feb. 6 to Feb. 15, there were six temperature records toppled in those 10 days, with the most significant being when mercury rose to 13.2 C on Valentine’s day. Temperatures started to fall at that point, but never significantly.

Then March crept in, maintaining the status quo. From March 7 to yesterday, Coldwells said there have been six more temperature records broken in the Kelowna area. The highest was March 9 when the day time high was 18.6 C. So, what caused it? “There’s been a broadscale upper ridge sitting over the coast of B.C. for most of the winter,” she said. “That’s the weather driver…it’s probably due to the very warm pool of water off the coast of B.C.” Climatologists have been tracking the water, as there’s a strong relationship with the atmosphere and the ocean. The warm pool has been referred to as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, as it goes from warm to cold on a regular basis. “At this moment, they say we’re at the peak of the warm,” she said, noting that time will tell whether that’s really the case.

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).

to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

In my practice, I see back, neck, and shoulder pain, lower back and sciatic pain, and post-surgical pain. It’s been there for months to years and many therapies have failed to relieve it because most therapies work best on recent injuries. Many of you who have these recurring episodes may be telling yourselves that it will go away, or that you can learn

Telling your story most accurately —the Kelowna Capital News

For the second time in three years, Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery, which has operations in Kelowna and Vernon, has been named Distillery of the Year at the 2015 World Spirits Awards. And in doing so, it once again beat out larger and more established distilleries from countries across Europe, Australia and the US. But that was just the tip of the medal-haul iceberg for Okanagan Spirits this year at the competition in Koje, Denmark. Just as it did in 2013, the distillery

The winning didn’t stop there. In addition to retaining its World Class Distillery designation, senior distiller Peter von Hahn won medals for eight other spirits as well. “Double Gold status for Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery’s aquavit, being awarded here

in Scandinavia—the birth place of aquavit— was very exciting,” said von Hahn. “Imagine, a small Canadian distillery in British Columbia producing some of the best aquavit in the world.” Okanagan Spirits also won gold for its raspberry liqueur, Genuine Taboo absinthe and coveted Laird of Fintry whisky, so rare it can only be purchased if would-be buyers win a lottery draw. “We had high hopes for our Laird of Fintry single malt whisky, the exceptional quality of the whisky, hinted at by long waiting lists and a lottery

draw, has now been further validated by the award of a gold medal,” added von Hahn. The whisky win marks the first time a Canadian craft distillery single malt has won gold at the World Spirits Awards. Also in the whisky category, a limited edition Okanagan Spirits’ Final Proof Master Distiller Series: Peppered Pete (yet to be released) won silver and the Gina a bronze. The distillery’s other two first-time entrants Haskap liqueur and Danish-style Aquavitus also won gold. “It was an exciting day for us, that’s for sure,”

said Okanagan Distillery CEO and president Tyler Dyck. He said after the wins in 2013, he was a little apprehensive about entering the competition this year and not doing as well. But he said the success of his distillery’s products at the 2015 competition, especially the ones that won gold a second time, showed the first wins were no fluke. “It really is a credit to Peter (von Hahn) and his team. He really is a rock star in the distillery world,” said Dyck. Comparing these early days in the evolution of craft distilling to the start of the wine industry in this province, Dyck said he believes the wins will help put B.C. and Canadian craft distilling on the map. Sixty-five distilleries from 25 different countries entered this year’s awards in Denmark. Next month, Okanagan Spirits will open its latest venture—a $3 million, 16,000-square-foot, distillery in Vernon.

Culture ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

Ringo to bring his all-star band to Okanagan Entertainment

Ringo Starr CONCERT Ringo Starr (with his all-star band) Saturday, Oct.10 Okanagan Event Centre Penticton Ringo Starr will be making a concert stop with his all-star band this fall in the Okanagan. The former Beatles drummer and his music mates will play a string of dates across North American in October, with Canadians stops in Calgary, Edmonton and Penticton. The tour coincides with the release of his new album, Postcards From Paradise, and his new photography book, Photograph. As well, in April Starr will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an individual artist, having already been voted in as a member of The Beatles. Traveling with Starr on this tour as his supporting band will be Steve Lukather, Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette. PUBLIC FORUM AlterKnowledge Discussion Friday, March 20

7 p.m. Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art Rotary Centre of the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna As the Okanagan region continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in the province, some researchers are asking the question: How welcoming is the Okanagan? Can the region be more welcoming, vibrant, and supportive to newcomers? “Being welcoming is a mindset as much as a set of policies and actions,” said Kamilla Bahbahani, a local researcher and diversity consultant. “And it requires the humility that comes with historical consciousness— recognizing that outside of the Syilx peoples, we are all newcomers of one kind or another to this area.” The Central Okanagan, situated on unceded Syilx lands, has been growing internally and through immigration for decades. What ideas, actions, and approaches would be most constructive towards building a welcoming, integrated, healthy community in our area, while at the same time respecting the existing and increasing diversity of this region? Bahbahani, along

with Katelin Mitchell, immigrant services manager with Kelowna Community Resources, will facilitate a discussion about research on demographics and welcoming initiatives in order to generate further insights on how Kelowna can become a more welcoming and supportive region. This AlterKnowledge Discussion is free, organized by UBC assistant professors Allison Hargreaves and David Jefferess. The discussion series seeks to bring people together to discuss, share, and learn, focusing on critical engagements with the way colonialism continues to shape relationships and identities in both local and global contexts. 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 in Interdisciplinary Performance, who hold work-study positions to run the University Theatre. This year’s performance series is made possible through the support of the Central Okanagan Foundation. Tickets available at the door or at the UBC Okanagan Bookstore. CONCERT Les Cowboys Fringants Friday, March 27, 8 p.m. Laurel Packinghouse 1304 Ellis St. Kelowna This concert is presented as part of 2015 Kelowna MapleFest

The country music duo High Valley. Les Cowboys Fringants (English translation is “Frisky Cowboys”) are a popular folk music band and cult phenomenon from Quebec. They have gained an international following, especially in France and Switzerland. CONCERT High Valley March 27 OK Corral, 1978 Kirschner Rd. Kelowna Country 100.7 has partnered with The Centre For Epilepsy and Seizure Education In British Columbia to present the Juno nominated and Canadian Country Music Association Award winner High Valley. The duo will play an exclusive show to just 300 people at the OK Corral in Kelowna, hot off the heels of their chart topping single “Make You Mine.” Tickets available at Country 100.7’s studios on Bertram Street in Kelowna and at The Ok Corral Liquor store. All the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Centre For Epilepsy and Seizure Education In British Columbia.

omething beautiful, something that helps people.”

CONCERT Colin James Saturday, March 28 Kelowna Community Theatre Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame inductee Colin James will include a stop in Kelowna next year for his upcoming cross-Canada tour in support of his 16th studio album, Hearts On Fire. The album was coproduced by Colin James and long-time collaborator Colin Linden, and recorded at House of Blues in Nashville and Magic Ten Studios in Vancouver. CONCERT Mike Edel Saturday, March 28 The Streaming Cafe 596 Leon Ave. Kelowna Born and raised in Alberta and now living in Victoria, singersongwriter Mike Edel will make a stop in Kelowna this month on a tour in support of his latest album, India, Seattle. Produced by Juno Award winner

Colin Stewart (Dan Mangan), India, Seattle encapsulates four years of Edel’s extensive North American touring The album’s first single, “Blue Above The Green,” follows on the heels of “East Shore/West Shore,” which has been available as a free download at mikeedel.com. “I don’t think personal records are the most immediate, maybe it’s that they are too specific, and mine is specific,” Edel said. “It’s specific to places and moments and snapshots in my mind, and it’s specific to people. I called it India, Seattle.” AWARDS Okanagan Arts Awards Saturday, March 28 6 p.m. Mary Irwin Theatre in the Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna The 8th annual Okanagan Arts Awards promises to be a memorable night as it celebrates the artists and art supporters that fuel the cultural scene in the Okanagan-Thompson region. The Okanagan Arts Awards were created by Arts Council of the Central Okanagan to recognize regional individuals and groups for their outstanding achievement in the arts, and to underline the importance of the arts to local communities. Tickets for the 2015 Okanagan Arts Awards are available online at selectyourtickets.com or through the Rotary Centre for the Arts box office, 421 Cawston Ave. Call 250-717-5304.

FREE SCREENING

Movie focuses on impact of Alzheimer’s An invitation has bee extended to the public to attend a free private screening of the film Still Alice. Okanagan Clinical Trials, a medical research company located in Kelowna, is hosting this free community event, which will take place Thursday, March 26, 6:30 p.m., at the Xtreme Theatre in West Kelowna, 525 Highway 97 South. Still Alice, which features an Academy Award winning performance this year by Julianne Moore, is based on the book written by Lisa Genova. Moore plays the role of Alice, a renowned Columbia University linguistics professor who is ultimately diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Okanagan Clinical Trials hopes the free screening will help raise awareness about Alzheimer’s Disease. “Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating condition with very few viable treatment options,” said Dr. Paul Latimer, psychiatrist and principal investigator for Okanagan Clinical Trials and a mental health columnist with the Kelowna Capital News. “With an aging population and numbers on the rise, it is very important to continue searching for safe and effective treatments.” Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and affects almost 30 million people worldwide. It is a progressive condition with no cure. Anyone interested in attending this event should call Okanagan Clinical Trials at 250-8628141 and ask for Kim or Carol to reserve their seat.

Amnesty offers documentary The local chapter of Amnesty International will present the documentary “Muffins For Granny” on Friday, March 27, 7:30 p.m., at the Okanagan College theatre, 1000 KLO Rd. The film tells the story of filmmaker Nadia McLaren’s Ojibway grandmother, who was forced to attend a residential school. Admission to the film is by donation. For more information call 250-7694740.

Coyotes ready to howl in 2015

Coach implores better effort with playoffs near Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Warren Henderson In their seven-year history, the best overall showing for the Okanagan College Coyotes has been third place. Based on what he’s seen so far in 2015, head coach Geoff White sees no reason why his ‘Yotes can’t challenge for their first ever Canadian College Baseball Conference title. White’s deepest and most experienced team yet will open up the regular season this weekend at Elks Stadium, with two games against the Calgary Dinos and pair against the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs. “We have a really good group, the talent and experience level is very good, so I think it’s going to be an exciting year for us,” said White, who has coached the Coyotes since 2008. White said OC’s pitching staff has improved over the last several years and this season will be led by senior Marcus Drewry. A conference all-star in 2014, the 6-foot-2 righthander has posted a solid 4-1 record in pre-season. “He’s a senior and our leader, and we’ll be looking for big things from Marcus.” In the process of posting a 1611 exhibition record, White said the Coyotes are showing promise on both offence and defence, thanks in large part to team speed. “This is a fast team, we have 10 players who can really run, more than we’ve had in the past and that’s a major part of how we’ll play this season,” said White. White points to lead-off man Tony Olson as a key catalyst for the OC offense. The 5-foot-11 shortstop from Edmonton is off to a “fantastic start,” according to White. Other key veterans who will be looked to for production and leadership include junior outfielder Brandon Graham from Prince George and infielder Brennan Reidy, a native of Moose Jaw, Sask., who

The unusually warm spring has been a benefit for the Coyotes who have been outside training at Elks Stadium for the last three weeks. “That really gives you a good head start on things, being able to practise at your home field,” said White. “The guys feel comfortable and are ready to go.” As the Coyotes program has grown older, White said it has evolved both on and off the field. “One of the big things is that more and players are sticking around for four years, so we have a lot of experience and leadership,”

said White. “We’ve also been able to recruit some junior college transfers and they also add a lot to our team. “The culture of the program has grown and developed over the years and the players are buying into what we’re doing here.” The Coyotes will take on the Calgary Dinos at 6 p.m. Friday and again at noon on Saturday.OC will then meet the PBA Dawgs on Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. OC will host both the 2016 and 2017 CCBC championships. @capnewsports.ca

The Kelowna Rockets are experiencing their own version of March Madness. With the WHL playoffs just around the bend, it’s the last month Dan Lambert would choose for his team to slide into a slump. The Rockets, who will close out the regular season with two games this weekend against the Vancouver Giants, have lost three of their last four games and five of the last eight. A 3-2 overtime defeat at home Wednesday to a fatigued Seattle team was particularly distressing for the Rockets’ head coach who saw too many veterans treating the game with a disturbing degree of nonchalance. “We had many, many passengers,” Lambert said of his team’s effort against the Thunderbirds, who beat Kelowna in three of four meetings this season. “It’s very disappointing.” Lambert will be demanding better this weekend, as the Rockets visit the Giants Friday, then return home to close out the regular season Saturday night against Vancouver. The Rockets may be comfortably atop the B.C. Division and Western Conference standings, but Lambert said it means little if his team isn’t playing the right way heading into the playoffs. “The last time I checked the season was 72 games, not 70, not 69 and not 60,” said Lambert. “And if we think it’s a switch and

we’ll just turn it on and all of a sudden come Friday things will be great, we’ve got another thing coming.” Forward Tyson Baillie agreed it’s imperative the Rockets get their game back on track against Vancouver.

…if we think it’s a switch and we’ll just turn it on and all of a sudden come Friday things will be great, we’ve got another thing coming.” Dan Lambert “Get these two games and then focus on the playoffs,” said Baillie. “We’ve got to finish these two games strong and focus on the little details that are going to help us win in playoffs.”

With two games remaining for each team, the Rockets (51-135-1) trail the Brandon Wheat Kings (52-11-43) by three points for first overall in the WHL. On the upside, the Rockets are gradually returning to health for the post-season. Forward Tyrell Goulbourne was back in the lineup Wednesday after missing two games with a lower body injury. Defenceman Josh Morrissey and forward Justin Kirkland, both with lower body injuries, remain sidelined on a week-to-week basis. Meanwhile, centre Rourke Chartier scored his team-leading 48th goal of the season on Wednesday night to move to within two of a rarely-achieved Rockets’ milestone. The last Rocket to score 50 goals was Justin Keller who notched 51 during the 2005-06 WHL season.

Kelowna’s Team Toshido MMA has been busy over the last month making its presence felt, not just in the ring but online. Shane Campbell, who recently moved to Toshido MMA from Edmonton to further his goal of competing in the UFC, became an overnight sensation with his TKO win at the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) over Albertan fighter, Derek Boyle. The bout aired on NBC Sports.

After landing a devastating body kick, Campbell performed a ‘Hadouken Fireball’ move, made famous by the arcade game Street Fighter. The Hadouken finish quickly went viral, racking up close to one million views online in just days. Team Toshido’s Matt Dwyer, just days after Campbell’s viral finish, went on to win a $50,000 ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus at UFC Fight Night 61 in Porto Alegra,

Brazil. Dwyer stunned the Brazilian crowd with a ‘Superman Punch’ KO, over the heavy favourite, Ultimate Fighter Brazil finalist, William Macarino in the first round. This was the first Superman Punch KO in UFC history, and the video quickly went viral racking up close to one million views to date. “I am humbled by the team’s success,” said Team Toshido’s head coach, David Lea. “It’s

always our goal to win, but to win in such a spectacular fashion that it’s viewed and shared by millions of people is just incredible. “ Also last month, amateur fighter, Tanya Nijjar, made her MMA debut at the UCL Championships in Merrit. Nijjar made short work of her opponent, scoring a TKO win in under a minute of the very first round.

We’re more than a swim and gym... We’re a place where families grow up strong. “When the kids were young, approximately 10 years ago now, my wife and I suffered a serious business related set back which unfortunately ended in financial despair and eventually the separation of our family,” says Sean Coughlan.

Thanks to the Y’s Strong Kids Campaign, Cole, Georgia and Devon each learned how to swim at a young age.

“Life can be very difficult and it seemed that in an instant I was a single father raising three young children, which you can imagine was a struggle at times.

Now that the kids are older, Cole who is 18, is a YMCA lifeguard at the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre and Devon, age 14, has completed all of the advanced swimming courses he can at his age, but plans to become a lifeguard as well.

At that point in our lives, I could use all the help I could get, so when I found out about the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign I was hopeful for the opportunity to give my children activities to engage in outside of school. The kids were first enrolled in swim lessons at the Kelowna Family Y, where they thrived.

My children developed their passions, met friends and built confidence here.

Georgia is 17, and is busy studying for her future and enjoying team sports. She has also gained so much from her involvement in the Y growing up. The Y provided programs, mentorship and help when we

needed it most which will be valued by the children for the rest of their lives. And I have found a community I feel comfortable in as well. Participating in the Coach Approach program and in the gym has been good for me. Having the Y as a part of our daily lives makes it easier, as a single dad, to continue to keep my whole family healthy, active and safe.” Last year the YMCA of Okanagan was able to provide 1571 kids with assisted memberships giving them access to programs like swim lessons which keep them safe, and help them build character, independence and selfesteem.

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day

‘I believe the RCMP is in trouble’ RCMP FROM A4 altogether. “I believe that the RCMP is in trouble,” he said. “(Experts) say you need 5,000 more bodies right now if we’re going to continue with federal policing.” That doesn’t account for the number of bodies required for jobs that

traditionally fell outside the purview of the RCMP, like policing international gangs and anti terrorism measures. “There was a recent case here where the people graduating from depot in Regina were diverted to Ottawa to work on Parliament Hill (following the shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo ),” he said.

Those Mounties were supposed to go to

detachments across the country to help fill the

voids there. “If you continue to

take from Peter to pay Paul, the fabric of the

RCMP is just going to rip apart,” said Creasser.

Visitors stroll through downtown Santa Cruz, Calif.

Beyond the beach in Santa Cruz, CA Angela Hill contributor

Back in my high school days in California, we were all about the beach, and Santa Cruz was the ultimate summer hot spot for us cool kids living in San Jose. Just a short hop over the hill in my ‘84 Mustang GT, my gal pals and I would make a blinders-on beeline for the Boardwalk’s sand, sun and swabs of cotton candy crystallizing in the soggy seaside air. We’d ride the creaky wood-ribbed rails of the Giant Dipper until we could do the dip no more. It was awesome. But, wow, did we miss a lot. Now in my advanced years, I see there’s far more to Santa Cruz than meets the surf. In fact, the beach is not the only aquatic attraction. The San Lorenzo River runs right through the centre of town. Once fished by the Ohlones and celebrated by early dwellers, it was walled off with levees in the 1950s and all but ignored ever since. Such indifference may soon fade to the past, though, with the debut of the Ebb & Flow River Arts Project. It’s a public art event and sculpture series based around the Tannery Arts Center, kicking off June 6 with a kinetic-arts

parade, day-long celebration and the unveiling of permanent and temporary works. Colourful, fused-glass medallions will dangle from trees like gems the size of dinner plates; massive mosaic-wrapped pots will embrace even more massive steel trees; human figures, glowing from within, will be poised with fishing poles on a pedestrian bridge—all with themes relating to the natural landscape and the history of the site. And it’s designed to remind folks about the river as a destination. If that’s not enough to encourage beyondthe-beach exploration, stroll the rejuvenated downtown streets, grab a scoop of organic candy-cap mushroom or spiced mascarpone prune at the Penny Ice Creamery or bury your nose in Grateful Dead history with the Dead Archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz. More on all that in a moment. “A lot of people don’t know about this incredible river that’s running through town,” says Michelle Williams, director of the Arts Council, Santa Cruz County, which is presenting the summer Ebb & Flow project. “Sixty-five per cent of our drinking water in this area comes from the San Lorenzo River. There’s a rich history connected to it. In the late 1800s, they’d hold the Venetian Water Festival. Over the decades

there were boat parades, swimming, fishing. “We want to bring back that sense of celebration around the river. And art is at the core of it.” Ten major temporary works will be positioned at access points along the levees, all produced by local artists—from Geoffrey Nelson’s glowing human figures to art teacher Linda Cover’s “Creature Banners” with student drawings of raccoons and great blue herons. Some of the temporary sculptures will remain at least through June, but the ultimate goal is permanent art, Williams says. To that end, a series of permanent mosaics— the vision of artists Kathleen Crocetti and Anna Oneglia—will welcome visitors to the Tannery Arts Center, a cluster of barn-red buildings on the river’s bank where the old Salz Tannery once operated. It’s now a thriving complex with residences and studios, its hallways lined with paintings and sculptures. A performing arts centre will be completed later this year. On my recent visit, Crocetti led me to the mosaics’ ultimate destination—three massive concrete planter pots at the entryway. “These are some of the most uninteresting things you’ll ever see,” she says, slapping the side of one of the giant pots, originally placed

there to keep people from driving into the main walkway. “We’re going to change all that and make this a focal point. Keep the pots, but wrap each one in beautiful mosaics.” A 12-foot-high stainless-steel tree, created by the master metal craftsmen at Cheney Metals in Watsonville, will be installed in each pot. Community involvement was key in this project, Crocetti says, and volunteers have spent hundreds of hours in the studio, creating waves of colour and splashes of fish, birds and plant life out of tiny colourful chunks of ceramic tile, called tesserae, on large sheets of sticky, flexible plastic to affix to the pots. “The grouting will be another big community event,” Crocetti says, chuckling at the thought. If your grouting arm gets tired, feel free to hop over a few blocks to Santa Cruz’s main downtown drag, Pacific Avenue, and check out the funky vibe—somewhere between the swank of San Jose’s Santana Row and the counterculture quirk of Berkeley’s Telegraph Avenue. There are upscale kitchen supplies at Chefworks and chic “rustic California” dining at the Assembly. But visitors also will find shops offering henna and tarot appointments, a

SANTA CRUZ FROM A24

Volunteers work on mosaics at the Tannery Arts Center in Santa Cruz. The mosaics are part of the Ebb & Flow arts project being created by the community.

couple of surf shops and plenty of street vendors selling dream catchers and beaded chokers. A block over at 913 Cedar St. (and at a kiosk on Pacific), you’ll find Penny Ice Creamery, tucked in a tiny tileroofed, 90-year-old Spanish Colonial Revival building with an open kitchen and production room, where you can watch workers create small batches of everchanging, intriguing flavours from scratch (orange star-anise sorbet one day, whiskey custard another). After waiting in a line out the door, I had a scoop of ginger honey on a house-made waffle cone. I was in heaven, or at least my mouth was. Get your tie-dye on and visit the Grateful Dead

Archives in the McHenry Library at UC Santa Cruz (the band and the school are turning 50 this year). Check out old posters, programs, cover art, news clips, photos, letters. It’s free and open during library hours. Head down to the wharf and the old Santa Cruz Dream Inn at 175 W. Cliff Drive and check out its new Jack O’Neill cocktail lounge, a near shrine to the man who brought the world the wetsuit. Surfboards line the ceiling, there’s an original prototype wetsuit under glass (said to have been crafted out of neoprene from the carpet of a DC-3), plus vintage photos and a drink menu featuring Jack’s favorite libation, a Ketel One martini.

Scene from R-E-S-P-E-C-T, a play written by Bonnie Gratz for the Respect Network’s Respect Lives Here campaign. Network’s Respect Lives Here campaign. The Respect Network, funded by Embrace BC, is hosting a series of events in the ThompsonOkanagan to uncover issues of racism and hate, and to offer options and resources for people impacted by these situations.

Meeting the play’s actors at a rehearsal, I was able to ask them about their stories. Bailey Strand, 18, plays Shelly and her storyline is all too real. “In middle school I was a quiet kid. Mid-Grade 7, I heard these rumors that I was a lesbian. I don’t know why, but it may have

been my defense of the LGBT community—I have family that are gay,” she recalled. “It didn’t offend me—it frustrated me. The rumors were just not true and it stayed with me until Grade 12.” Today, Bailey is very clear in her message that making assumptions and labeling people, leads to isolation. No one asked her about the rumours and she felt very alone and marginalized. “If someone had asked me I would have told them. I felt that I was put on the defensive. Now, I have learned to stand up for myself.” Fellow actor Roberto Molano, 19, came to Bailey’s school as an international student from Mexico. He portrays Armand in the play and he feels the character also reflects his story very well. Roberto had to fight assumptions students made about him when he first came. Other kids assumed his family was rich and that his school year was easy, with fun field trips and very little academic learning. He felt frustrated, isolated and belittled. “It’s very difficult to come to a new country and take classes when English isn’t your first language. I did okay because I studied hard. It wasn’t easy.” The play reflects the tension international students can face from other students but this wasn’t Roberto’s only

For the past 10 years, the Kelowna Chapter of Bicycles for Humanity has sent nearly 8,000 adult bicycles to Africa, but it has a problem with children’s bikes—storage space is limited so they can’t be kept and they can’t be shipped. Kids’ trikes, bikes and scooters are regularly donated to Kelowna’s Bikes for Humanity, but they cannot be sent to Africa because they displace adult bikes in containers bound for needy farmers and nurses in Ghana. Rather than sell them to second-hand shops or send them to a landfill, four years ago the charity started making them available to local residents for free. Another of these bicycle giveaways will take place Saturday, March 21, from 8 a.m. until noon, in the rear parking lot of St. Charles Garnier Church, at 3645 Benvoulin Rd. challenge. Roberto is a proud gay man now but coming out for him in this new country was difficult and judging when and how to do so was a struggle. “It took me a while to come out of the closet,” he said. “But when I did, it was actually very

and confused, and then I realized that it didn’t change him and that I needed to just accept it because he was my friend,” he said. While Adam plays a bully in the play, everyone is quick to point out that his play persona is very different from the real Adam. “I think I was just a kid who hadn’t really thought about it much and when my friend came out, it made me deal with reality,” he said. “I was very shocked though that when we moved out together after high school that everyone assumed I was gay as well. Again, it’s people making assumptions and judging you on what isn’t even true.” With the goal of increasing awareness and understanding, the Respect Lives Here campaign hopes to get people talking, to resolve conflicts and to stop the isolating behaviour of making assumptions and labeling people.

Driveway’s Alexandra Straub will pilot an all-electric Nissan LEAF in the annual AJAC Eco-Run next week. The all-electric sedan, which is also the prize car provided by the Scrap-It program for our Plug-In to Win contest, will glide silently from the Vancouver International Auto Show in downtown Vancouver next Wednesday. The route, devised by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, will then take the participating 19 eco-friendly vehicles to Victoria via the Nanaimo ferry. On Thursday, the vehicles will be put through their paces on a handling course in Langford to see how versatile they are. The EcoRun concludes that evening in Vancouver. In addition to pure electric vehicles, the Eco-Run

includes plug-in and conventional hybrids, as well as vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, diesel-fuelled powertrains and highly efficient gasoline options. There’s no limit to the size of vehicle showcased, as they range from subcompacts to pickup trucks. The participants include the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel, 2015 Kia Soul EV, 2015 Ford Focus 1.0-litre, 2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid and the 2015 Chevy Volt. The purpose of the event is to inform consumers of these alternative options. These new vehicles are driven in real-world road conditions in order to fully test for fuel efficiency and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

Trucks galore with pulling power at Vancouver Auto Show Truck lovers could fill an afternoon running a careful eye over the new trucks at the Vancouver auto show. Here are my five picks for special attention: 2015 Chevrolet Colorado The all-new design is turning heads all across Canada. This mid-size truck fills a void here. Still expected to work as hard as a full-size truck, the Colorado can tow more than 3,039 kilograms (6700 lbs) a 2.5L I-4 engine is standard with an optional 3.6L V6 with a six speed automatic transmission. This truck includes all the modern day technologies including 4g LTE hotspot with WI-FI connection through OnStar, which provides service for seven devices. Base price $21,695. 2015 Ford F150 The combination of a body made of aluminum body and high strength steel in its frame make this truck up to 317 KG (700 lbs) lighter. This truck was inspired

2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel It is the only light duty diesel available here. It has a 3.0 L V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite eight speed transmission.

Standard features included on the Yaris models come in the shape of a 15.5 cm display audio with AM/FM, CD and MP3 with USB input and Bluetooth capability, along with power windows and power door locks.

Additionally, there’s 600L of cargo space. Not bad for such a small car. Then there’s the Accent sedan for those who aren’t on the hatchback bandwagon. The engine specs and transmission are the same but in a four-door format. Trunk space, however, is reduced to 389L.

It’s powered by a 2.0L, four-cylinder engine, which yields 115 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. You have your choice between the standard five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The Jetta has room for five, a 60/40 split rear seat and 440L or cargo capacity. Furthermore, it comes with revised front and rear fascias, attributing to better aerodynamics and fuel consumption.

er isn’t enough, you’ll need to save your pennies for the next available engine. It’s a powerful 1.8L TSI engine ($22,890.) The 1.8L engine came out last year and delivers 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque thanks to direct injection and turbocharging. Ford Focus Sedan/Hatchback ($16,449/$18,849) - For 2015, the Focus for Ford is about styling and efficiency! There’s a new look for the Focus sedan and hatchback that includes a restyled hood, grille, new rear lamp clusters and a restyled trunk lid. You’ll have the option of both a four-door sedan or a five-door hatch. Standard on Focus for the first time is the rearview camera, which will appear on either a 10.4 cm screen or the 20.3 cm screen that comes with MyFord Touchequipped cars. Inside, colours and materials have a clean, modern look, with satin chrome detailing, new seat trims, switches and an available heated steering wheel. Stor-

age is improved with a new centre console incorporating adjustable cupholders, and a new, easier-to-access glove box.

Subaru Impreza Sedan ($19,995) - As the most affordable vehicle in Canada that comes standard with an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, Subaru’s Impreza is a great fit for those who want reliable transportation and the confidence on slippery surfaces. As an added bonus, it comes with a manual transmission. But for those who prefer not shifting their own gears, there’s an available Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). For the 2015 model year, it also received some cosmetic upgrades, you know, to keep it looking young and hip. The Impreza is powered by a 2.0L horizontally opposed, four-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine giving you 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

a wise gambling person (there’s an oxymoron) would normally pony up a plethora of coin and place the wager on a veteran chef such as Krissy who is connected to a wellknown eating facility. I have no doubt that she will present an outstanding, delicious, world-class Shepherd’s Pie. However, I have done my research, and not all is as it may first appear. As I mentioned, Keith Thom is a town councillor, and we all know very well ‘those political councillor type dudes’ are a nefarious lot of tricksters. Indeed, it turns out Thom has cooked a few pies in his past—in fact, he’s cooked thousands of them. When it comes down to making a Shepherd’s Pie, suffice to say ‘Papa’ Thom has got it down to a fine culinary art. For five years in a row, he made

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE annual musical tours from Ontario to B.C. and back stopping in at homeless shelters or food banks across the land. At each town or city he would invite the local councils and/or government folks along with the rest of the community to the local shelter for dinner. He would then prepare a massive Shepherd’s Pie meal for the masses gathered. Following dinner, he would give a concert, usually culminating in a giant sing-along. Often the concert would end with Thom giving away a guitar to one of the homeless

guests. This final act of kindness was a tradition that began on his first year of touring food banks and homeless shelters. A friend gave Thom a spare guitar and told him to give it to someone who might use it but did not have the money for a guitar. A few days later, while performing in another town another guitar was donated to Thom’s cause and the pay-it-forward tradition was spawned. It seems word spread about the guitar giving aspect of Thom’s popular Shepherd’s Pie tour and over the years he estimates he has given away some 50 guitars and fed more than 3,000 people. A few years ago, prior to moving to the Okanagan, Thom finally ended his Shepherd’s Pie tours but not his love of performing or his willingness to help with worthy fund raisers involving homelessness and those dealing with addictions. A gifted singer, guitarist, and songwriter, Thom prefers the folk genre. His powerful yet soothing voice allows him a broad range of song choice be it a classic cover or one of his own wonderful tunes. Regardless the venue or size of the audience, Thom provides another relished relic of the entertainment industry to his shows—story telling. He is a minstrel, a bard, a troubadour of sorts. He weaves memories and messages between his tunes. And thankfully, as will be discovered by many next week, he’s also not forgot how to make a mean meat pie. March 26 should prove to be a fabulous day of

fun highlighted by the delectable cook-off. At the end of the cooking and consuming, everyone should wind up a winner. Hosted by the popular Edgewater Inn, the day of fun will culminate in the fundraiser dinner and show, which will feature the wonderful music of the talented Marty Edwards and the Revival. A superb band, the group also features the impressive guitar skills of Gary Smyth, known by many for his smooth licks and mastery of the lead guitar. Smyth also plays with well known bands Cowboy Bob and The Cruzeros. In addition to the dinner and dance music, the event will see a wine tasting, Loony Toss (featuring Peachland Fire Fighters), and giant Silent Auction, all with the goal of raising money for the Peachland Build project, a Habitat for Humanity plan to build three semidetached homes to accommodate six families in that community. Land for the project was donated by the District of Peachland partnering with HFH to provide affordable homes in that community. Impressive move by both Peachland council and HFH. Thom will be kept hopping extra fast that evening since when he is not busy cooking dinner he will also act as MC and has agreed to be the opening act for the Marty Edwards Revival. The whole event kicks off with doors opening at 5 p.m. and dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at West Kelowna ReStore or the Edgewater Inn. Seating is limited so don’t delay. For further information or to learn more about the call Papa Thom at 250-870-8891.

Ideal plant options for an easy care, sunny, water-wise garden

They are covered in deep yellow blooms from June to late September. Their feathery bright green foliage adds interesting contrast to the garden before it begins flowering. Gaillardia ‘Burgundy’ (blanket flower) adds a splash of deep red emphasising the blues and yellows of the other plants. It blooms from June to frost if deadheaded periodically. With the exception of Coreopsis, all the above perennials are good cut flowers. Blue Oat grass adds a foliage contrast and silvery-blue colour which persists through winter. It is especially nice to

blinds to cut up for plant labels. If you have some to donate, call 250762-6018 or contact me through the website email. Gwen Steele is executive director of the Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

For the next few weeks, I am going to write about my favourite waterwise plant combinations suitable for specific growing conditions. Today’s collection is for full sun. Once plants are established (one to two years) they will require a deep watering once or twice during a long, dry summer. If the soil is fastdraining and sandy, they may need a bit more. All are easy to grow, and easy to divide, making it inexpensive to expand gardens after the first year or two. With the addition of spring bulbs (purchased and planted in fall), this collection will provide colour from spring to frost. Euphorbia polychroma (cushion spurge) is a vivid, deep yellow mound lasting about a month from mid April. Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ (catmint) grows 18 inches high and two feet wide. Spikes of blue flowers last from May to July and then repeat at the end of summer. For a tidier look, early bloom may be cut back once finished,. Achillea ‘Moonshine’ (yarrow) has attractive, silvery foliage and a soft yellow bloom in May and June. If dead-headed, it will bloom again late summer. To dead-head a perennial, cut the finished flower stem down to the next flower bud or into the lower mass of foliage so it hides the cut stem. Salvia ‘Caradonna’ has spikes of deep blue flowers on purple stems making it an attractive contrast with the yarrow. It blooms at a similar time and will repeat if dead-headed. It also looks good planted with Coreopsis ‘Golden Gain’ or Coreopsis Zagreb’.

With heartbreaking sadness the family is announcing the sudden passing of our dear mother Isabel Bugera. She was born December 15, 1932 in Sandy Lake Manitoba and passed away March 16, 2015 at Kelowna General Hospital with her family by her side. Mom had a great sense of humor, loved cooking, baking and gardening in her days. Her long English cucumbers were the size of baseball bats! She took great care of our family; she was always there for us and gave us so much love. Mom loved family gatherings and always cooked incredible meals. She was a strong, courageous woman that has overcome many obstacles in life. She loved to go camping anytime, and always made her secret hamburger recipe and potato salad to enjoy. Mom had a beautiful, gentle way about her, and will be missed by all that knew her. We will miss laughing at her eating cherry tarts... Mom lost her husband in 2013 and courageously carried on. She will be missed dearly by her children Donna Bugera, Roy (Brenda) Bugera and Norm (Monica) Bugera and grandson Devon Bugera. Arrangements entrusted to Today’s Choice, and by moms request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation may be made.

John Sugars passed away peacefully, March 14, 2015 at Totem Lodge in Sechelt, BC. It was difficult for John to continue after losing his life partner, Pearl this past December. John was born August 16, 1929 in Summerland, BC, the son of Roger and Margaret Sugars. John grew up in the Okanagan. He was united in marriage to Pearl on March 31, 1956 in Oyama, (Okanagan), British Columbia. They spent their honeymoon in Spuzzum, BC and were married for almost 60 wonderful years. John grew up in the Okanagan where he worked in the orchards, enjoyed the outdoors and developed his love of music, having studied piano and voice. His outgoing, fun loving and approachable personality lead him to many acting roles at the Freddy Wood Theatre at UBC, as well as a clown role on a kid’s TV show. These traits lead to a very successful career as a salesman, most notably with Campbell’s soup for over 27 years. In retirement John was able to go back to his singing and acting. He performed as a lead character in a Puccini light opera and many roles in various musicals. Along the way, he met some very special friends and formed The Peachland Quatre who did performances throughout the Okanagan donating the proceeds to charities in each community. John’s charity work and community involvement lead him to being recognized with the Commonwealth Community Award for culture in 1994. His other great accomplishments were the editing and publishing of his father’s diary “An Okanagan history: The Diaries of Roger John Sugars” and his involvement with the Fintry and Okanagan Historical Society. Always a warm, kind, funny and considerate man; Papa John made friends everywhere he went. He will be greatly missed, as he was an amazing brother, husband, father, grandfather and friend. We know you and Pearl are together again. We love you both. We miss you both. He is survived by his children (and spouses); Marsh (Wayne) Chuppa, Valley View, AB, Dave (Laurie) Sugars, Roberts Creek, BC; 4 loving grandchildren Trevor, Heather, Odelia and Maiya and 3 great-grandchildren, Erik, Emily, Drayden; 1 sister Maggie (Moe) and family, and a sister in law Joyce and family (BC). John was preceded in death by his wife Pearl, son Bruce Sugars (in Nova Scotia), a brother Edmund and sister Lillian. We would like to thank St. Mary’s Hospital and Totem Lodge staff for their care of our Papa. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a Theatre or Musical group in your community as he loved to sing and act. IN FIND IT THE CLASSIFIEDS

In Memoriam

Barry L. Davis I walked with you as long as I could Our years were many, our days were good I watched you fade, slowly day by day My heart wept tears, I hid them away. I could not show you weakness or grief. I gave you strength and wondrous belief; God took your hand and we had to part, He eased your pain, but he broke my heart. I wanted you with me for a few more years, God knew how I felt, but he knew best, He took you home so you could rest. Your beautiful memories I will treasure forever, Of the happy days we were together; With an aching heart, I whisper low, You were my life, we love you and miss you so… Love: Jacquie, Shawn, Laura, Sherri, Bob, Gage & Maddy.
