News OKANAGAN RAIL TRAIL

Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative has committed to raising $5 million towards development of the CN Rail corridor should the municipalities be able to complete the purchase of the 47-kilometre long rail bed.

The rail trail group, based in Vernon, made the announcement Tuesday morning at the opening of the yes campaign headquarters in Lake Country, saying taxpayers won’t be asked to subsidize construction or maintenance of the trail if it is purchased by the inter-jurisdictional group.

Rail trail director Brad Clements says his group will have no problem raising the $5 million

from individuals or businesses and added they could leverage that amount for another $5 million in grants towards developing a transportation corridor.

“We’ve always said we are willing to raise money for the construction costs of the trail but there seems to be some uncertainty about where that money is going to come from,” said Clements.

“Absolutely, there will be no additional costs to the taxpayers. We are very confident we can raise that ($5 million). There are all kinds of companies and individuals saying we want this and want to provide money for it.”

Clements said his group already has financial commitments totalling $350,000 from just two individual

Trail group seeks $10 million to develop CN corridor

Lake Country yes campaign office manager Sheila Tansey and manager Duane Thomson check out a map of the CN Rail corridor at the yes campaign office on Main Street. property owners in the area and adds there are many more individuals and companies that have come forward asking how to support the trail with financial donations.

A study done by the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative estimated it would take $7.3 million to develop the trail after it is purchased.

The announcement

Tuesday morning was part of an information campaign underway to get the word out about Lake Country’s April 25 referendum on borrowing $2.6 million to

purchase the trail along with Kelowna and the North Okanagan Regional District.

Yes campaign manager Duane Thomson says future costs of the trail is a major question people are asking about the project.

“This is a pay-as-you go project so we don’t have to do everything in the first year,” said Thomson.

“We will not be asking local taxpayers with any help with development costs of the trail. There is a fear by locals that they will be charged for maintenance of the trail.

“All of the objections to the trail are based on the argument that there is going to be more costs coming afterwards which is not true.”

Lake Country residents Bob and Lynn Hansen dropped by the yes

campaign headquarters on Main Street for some information before the official opening.

Long-time residents of Lake Country, the couple’s acre-size property edges up on the CN Rail corridor and they say there is already a lot of people using it as a trail.

“I think people will come from all over to use this, it’s so gorgeous,” said Lynn.

“We support this. It’s just part of community spirit and community support. It’s such a good thing for everyone in the community.”

“We haven’t heard too many many people against this,” added Bob. “I talk to people all the time and I have just heard one person say they are against it.” @KP_media1

Kelowna airport officials have unveiled their latest plans for expansion at YLW— a multi-year $55.6 million plan that will see improvements and additions to the baggage handling system, plane parking area, departure lounge, checkin area and taxiway.

The work, to be carried out over the next five years, is part of a $92 million airport improvement plan started in 2008.

“This is our most ambitious plan yet,” said YLW director Sam Samaddar at a media briefing Tuesday.

The latest round of construction at the airport

will start with the building of a large, state-of-the art outbound baggage hall that will handle more than twice the number of bags the airport currently deals with and could be ramped up to handle three times more as the airport continues to grow.

Phillip Elchitz, airport development manager at YLW, said the new baggage facility will have the most advanced baggage screening equipment available today.

With construction slated to start in June, the new baggage hall is expected to be complete by 2018.

As part of that project, the existing baggage area will be rejuvenated as part of a plan to create more office space for airlines

behind the existing checkin area in the airport terminal.

Samaddar said the terminal’s check-in area will also be renovated and enlarged. Check-in is located in the oldest part of the terminal building, which dates back to 1967.

The total cost of the three-phase, threeyear baggage, terminal and check-in area improvement work will be $40 million.

In addition, the airport will also improve the departures area, the plane and runway de-icing plant and three areas on the airside portion of the facility, one taxiway and two aircraft parking aprons.

The total cost for that will be $15.4 million.

With future growth

in mind, the air-side operations will be built to a standard that could accommodate some of the largest aircraft currently in use, said Samaddar.

But while YLW will be able to handle aircraft such as the 250-seat Boeing 787 Dreamliner, he said it is still many years away from welcoming such large aircraft. That could come when or if YLW gets direct air service to Europe.

Currently, the largest aircraft using YLW carry about 180 passengers.

YLW has experienced unprecedented growth in the last 10 years and is currently riding a 25-month run of recordbreaking numbers. It hit its 2015 target of serving

ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

Airport eyes $55.6 million renovation and expansion

1.6 million passengers in 2014, one year ahead of schedule.

Samaddar said YLW is expanding as growth dictates and as a selffinancing, municipally owned entity, it will pay for the improvements by raising revenue through its $15 per outbound passenger airport

improvement fee, not by using city funds.

In addition to the terminal and air-side improvements, another planned addition at the airport, to be started this year, will be a project dubbed the airport plaza.

Costing a total of $5 million and built in two phases, the airport plaza

will be paid for by Royal Star Enterprises, the company that operates parking and valet parking at the airport.

It will include an Esso gas station, two restaurants and retail space on a one-acre plot of land just off the Highway 97 entrance.

Disney is headed for the shores of Okanagan Lake and the derelict Bargain! Bargain!

Bargain! shop on Bernard Avenue is getting a sweaty new lease on life.

Or not.

In an attempt to get the jump on April Fool’s Day, at least two local businesses took to their social media accounts and offered yarns that sparked excitement and maybe even broke a couple hearts.

First to make it to the Kelowna Capital News

Tuesday afternoon was a story that Kelowna’s The HotBox Yoga would take over the Bargain!

Bargain! Bargain! shop.

The item got hundreds of shares and enthusiastic online outpourings by the time it prompted a call to the studio and got kiboshed.

Chris Bedford, coowner of the shop, said they released the story March 31 as an April Fool’s joke to “catch everybody off guard.”

They were successful, according to the social media posts that followed, which if nothing else shows there’s

some appetite to see something happen with the old Bargain shop.

As Bedford pointed out, “It’s a bit of an eyesore.”

The city’s urban development manager, Ryan Smith, was then contacted, and he said there have been some rumours about the future of the retail building, but nothing substantial enough that permit applications have been filed.

Meanwhile, on the waterfront, McKinley Beach made a post that burned across the Internet with nearly

3,000 likes, 1,500-plus comments and nearly 7,000 shares.

It went as so: “BREAKING NEWS— While lot sales at Kelowna’s newest lakefront community, McKinley Beach, have been high, a recent offer from a wellknown US Corporation is about to bring a new level of interest to the development,” read their Facebook post.

“As of yesterday afternoon, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, the international conglomerate owner of Disneyland and Disney World Parks, purchased the remainder of the McKinley Beach property.

The intention behind the purchase of the remaining 900 acres of land is to bring Disney Park and Resort’s very first micro-park to Canada.

While the park will feature popular Disney rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, and Space Mountain, the park’s planning committee is looking to add some ‘Canadian Flare’ to what will become Canada’s largest amusement park.”

The faux-press release went on to point out that the ‘Magical Kingdom of the North’ was nestled nearby the proposed ‘It’s a Small World’ exhibition and ride, in a release that read too good to be true.

That said, a call was required. Without even fully prefacing the reason for the call, the receptionist said “it’s a joke,” and that was that.

A good one, but a few sad faces are likely to line the comment section of the post.

As one writer pointed out in a cheerful or menacing manner, depending how it’s read: “This better not be an April fools joke!! You’ll have some disappointed Okanagan residents!!”

Louie, who pointed to the success of his people in Westbank as an example of how native groups can thrive if they are given the equality they deserve.

“Indigenous people have been seen as second-class citizens and that has happened since the point of first contact (with European settlers),” said Louie.

“What we need is equality and as soon as that happens First Nations can move quickly.”

Louie said First Nations must push to be self-sufficient and self governing and said places like the nearby Sensisyusten school, where students are taught academic courses but are also taught the history of their people as a way to maintain First Nations traditions, are ways for First Nations groups to maintain their traditions.

Other issues the native leaders raised include murdered and missing women, land claims, fishing, housing and self government.

Assembly of First Nations national chief Perry Bellegarde, who represents over 600 First Nations across Canada, said there is a huge gap between indigenous and non-indigenous people.

He noted that while Canada is ranked fairly high compared to other countries around the world when it comes to well-being, the conditions of Canada’s native people are much worse.

“Canada is rated as a great place to live,” said Bellegarde.

“But while Canada is way up here, its indigenous people are rated way lower. It’s this gap that we need to change and as soon as we can do that it will be better for everyone.”

Several presentations to the United Nations special rapporteur Victoria Tauli-Corpuz were going to take place on Tuesday.

Tauli-Corpuz said she was there to listen to the concerns and learn about the issues facing First Nations groups in B.C. and in Canada. @KP_media1

Orchard Plaza faces replacing two major tenants Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

are companies that are interested,” said Randy Lowe, chief operating officer of McIntosh Properties Ltd., the management group for Orchard Plaza Shopping Centre, which is now left with the task of filling the empty spaces.

The management group, along with Future

Shop employees and the rest of Canada, learned Saturday of the corporation’s intention to immediately shut down 66 stores countrywide, while converting 65 others to Best Buy stores.

Already working to resolve the problem created by Target vacating the space, they now have double the area to market.

But it’s not a challenge Lowe sees as insurmountable.

“It’s still really early for us, but we are going to market the building as it is,” he said.

“There are other

businesses still thriving and looking to move into Kelowna. And there are companies that need that kind of space.”

If not, they can change the space, by dividing it up and putting in smaller businesses.

That decision, however, is a ways off.

Unlike two strip malls in West Kelowna that are also running with a high vacancy rate, Orchard Plaza remains successful, he said.

“We are well located next door to the largest Interior mall between Kamloops and Calgary,” he said.

McIntosh Properties has also done its part to find tenants that will have staying power— aside from the two aforementioned exceptions.

“We have tried to get tenants that will play off of one another,” Lowe said. “There’s Nature’s Fare and the Running Room, and other lifestyle tenants, along with our professional building that has health and wellness tenants. So hopefully people who come here will have several stops.”

It’s been a successful recipe for Les Gordichuk, owner of Rocky Mountain

ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

The abrupt shutdown of Future Shop along with the ongoing closure of Target has left the smaller businesses in Kelowna’s Orchard Plaza shopping centre in an unusual position.

They’re now

sandwiched between the remains of the country’s two most recent and arguably significant retail failures, and it’s unclear what, if anything, will fill the void.

“We’re still digesting the news, too. We don’t have any names (of future tenants) we can put out there right now, but there

“The synergy and complementariness we find comes from Nature’s Fare, Running Room and Source for Sports,” said Gordichuk.

“Typically a customer that goes to Future Shop is on a mission, they’re a destination shop.

They’re not so much, my customer.”

He said that he knows they’re good tenants, but their departure isn’t a big loss to his business.

“If Chevy’s left, I’d be concerned,” Gordichuk said. “They have every mother, dad, child, soccer player, football player, basketball player, skate sharpening customer in there on a daily basis— that’s my customer.”

There is also a silver lining, he added.

“It shows that a good independent is a good independent,” he said.

“It’s not always a big national anchor that’s needed, because…. well, who would have thought?”

The Future Shop shutdown is the latest in a series of closures in Canada that have included the U.S. retail giant Target and smaller players like Sony Canada, Boutique Jacob Inc. and Mexx.

The flea market at Rutland Centennial Hall bustles with activity every Sunday. Alf Roshinski, the manager of the hall, wants to assure people the market will not be closing its doors.

RUTLAND FLEA MARKET

Market closure rumours put to rest Angie Brown Contributor

Alf Roshinski, the manager of Rutland Centennial Hall, wants Kelowna residents to know the Rutland Flea Market will not be closing its doors.

When Centennial Park, the host site for the flea market, was sold earlier this year to the city, Roshinski says some people became concerned the flea market would be closed.

It is held every Sunday both inside the Centennial Hall and in the hall’s parking lot.

“People are saying the

nancyNails & Spa

market’s going to shut down, or that May Days will never be held here again. All these things are continuing,” said Roshinski.

“It’s going to be as good, maybe even better.”

In May, the outdoor section of the flea market is going to move to Roxby Square on Highway 33.

The indoor section, however, will remain within the hall for the time being.

Proceeds from the sale of the park will enable the Rutland Park Society to eventually build a new community hall.

Meanwhile, Roshinski

is planning on bringing more agriculture to the flea market, as two new vendors who sell eggs have already signed up.

“We’re a blue-collar community, and I think we are going to see a lot more of that once we start bringing fruit and vegetable vendors in,” he said.

Once autumn hits, the outdoor flea market will once again return to the Rutland Centennial Hall parking lot, said Roshinski.

Sev Selga regularly attends the flea market, both as a vendor and a customer. “I’d like people to know that there’s lots

of stuff here you don’t get to see all the time,” he said.“Everyone comes here to talk to each other and share secrets, like tips on antiques and what they’re worth.”

Dayna Tomlinson, a holistic practitioner, tries to rent a booth for her stones and crystals at the market every weekend.

“I’d like people to know there isn’t just junk here,” she said.

“It’s kind of like thrift store shopping. You can’t just run in—you’ve really got to take the time to look around.”

The flea market takes place every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Canada Post needs to speak up about security measures Door-to-door mail service is about to go the way of the dodo bird, and along with it a sense of safety and security.

Canada Post has said it can’t afford to deliver door-to-door anymore and needs to come up with an alternative model for snail mail. The problem is, no one has a lot of confidence in the new system.

Sure, it was only a matter of time before the Crown corporation made this move because it currently has a twotier system, with some single-family homes getting doorto-door service while people in newer neighbourhoods or apartments and condos already have to pick up their mail at a central location.

Unfortunately, despite efforts to strengthen the newer community mailboxes, mail is still being stolen as recent headlines around the province bear this out.

In February, there were reports of mail theft from both old and new community mail boxes, with thefts and damage complaints coming from several Lower Mainland communities.

Then in March, police busted a Langley home and found 15,000 pieces of stolen mail as well another 9,000 pieces in a storage locker.

Also last month in Port Coquitlam, Mounties found 721 pieces of stolen mail as well as equipment for creating identity cards and credit cards and guns.

Canada Post has promised to consult widely before it fully rolls out an expanded community mail box program as doorto-door delivery is phased out over a five-year period.

Nobody wants to wait for the inevitable to happen.

Canada Post must tell Canadians what it plans to do to ensure mail service is protected.

Treaty trouble has deep roots

Why did the B.C. government Victoria News suddenly slam the door on their old friend George TOM Abbott, after FLETCHER spending months recruiting him to head up the B.C. Treaty Commission?

The instant media narrative, embraced by a shocked Abbott and then by NDP leader John Horgan, was that this was payback for grievances nursed by Premier Christy Clark from the 2012 B.C. Liberal leadership contest.

Done on a whim, Horgan said after a week grilling Clark and Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad.

Clark is suddenly a sore winner, lashing out, wrecking two decades of careful and costly treaty-making.

Like many instant media narratives, this one makes no sense and is almost certainly wrong.

If Clark was resentful about the roasting she received from leadership rivals Abbott and Kevin Falcon, she had an odd way of showing it. She appointed Falcon as finance minister to drive a stake into the harmonized sales tax, and Abbott as education minister to fashion a pre-election truce with the ever-hostile teachers’ union.

Both completed their unlikely tasks and retired as heroes of the party in 2013.

Outgoing chief treaty commissioner Sophie Pierre was as dismayed as anyone at the news of Abbott’s demise.

While the two were in transition meetings, Pierre learned that she was not being replaced, leaving the federalprovincial-First Nations Summit partnership of 22 years in a shambles.

Clark went further when questioned by reporters about the sudden reversal. The future of aboriginal relations in B.C. may or may not include the B.C. Treaty Commission.

“There have been some results, but four treaties in 22 years for $600 million is not enough result,” Clark said.

“We have to be able to move faster, and we have to find

a way to include more First Nations in the process.”

That $600 million is mostly loans, from the federal government to First Nations to finance treaty talks. Of every $100 spent trying to honour the century-old duty to sign treaties across B.C., $80 is a loan from Ottawa, $12 is a grant from Ottawa and $8 is a grant from B.C. The plan was for First Nations to repay their loans out of cash settlements made to them for 100-odd years of uncompensated resource extraction, which is now accepted as being contrary to British and Canadian law.

It was the blunt-spoken Pierre who first acknowledged this hasn’t worked. Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the treaty table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt.

The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero. I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands.

I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a province-wide deal declaring aboriginal title. Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution too.

(McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clark-appointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.)

Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.”

Her advice may have been heard after all.

No need to ‘re-invent the wheel’ to achieve top air quality in our valley

CONCERNED CITIZEN

To the editor: Dealing with air quality in our valley is not a new initiative. In fact as far back as 1998 an Air Quality Committee was charged with the development and implementation of an Air Quality Management Plan for the Central Okanagan Regional District (CORD).

At that time the importance of air quality was highlighted with reference to health, economics and tourism. It was recognized that our valley topography, weather patterns and the population growth could result in a significant impact on air quality.

Dust particles and smoke were the two types of pollutants in our valley that exceeded national standards. Ozone levels were also identified to contribute to poor air quality.

Sources included such things as engine exhaust, smoke, soil and trees and high levels of ozone were often measured along Highway 97.

Outdoor burning and smoke control bylaws were introduced through collaboration of the municipalities and regional district, wood stove industry, college, health region, Okanagan asthma network, agriculture and forestry and provincial and federal ministries.

Experts and professionals also began to focus on the technical aspects of the Airshed Management Plan.

A Memorandum of Understanding was also formed between the three regional districts in the Okanagan in the formation of an Okanagan Airshed Coalition that would work cooperatively to develop initiatives to improve outdoor air quality.

It is not necessary to reinvent the wheel.

Air quality planning has already been done.

There was excellent cooperation throughout the valley in working towards air quality.

There are years of available data and plans for improving air quality likely now sitting on a shelf. Those plans just need to be dusted off and identify what still needs to be done.

Bylaws in existence need to be enforced or changed to address the needs for 2015.

Chipping programs for the agriculture community need to be supported. Control burning for forestry with proper venting and dried product need to be maintained.

Programs for wood-stove exchange and old vehicle scrapping should be upheld. Regular reporting of air quality venting index along with education should be sustained. The community greenhouse gas reduction plan should be continued.

In conclusion, it is imperative to work cooperatively with the North and South Okanagan regional districts on valley-wide air quality strategies. Striving for continued air quality improvements without any lapses should be a mandate for all of us.

Air quality planning is not new, it just needs the political commitment to be a priority.

To the editor: Further to Vera Diduch’s letter, Capital News March 27, Is a ‘Fair and Just’ Price for Electricity Too Much To Ask? It appears we are all being gouged by the electricity suppliers with unrealistic usage bills that are symptomatic of smart meters.

Her reference to a hefty bill in a period of a three-week absence from home was reminiscent to my neighbour’s former situation of receiving a large bill despite being absent from the home due to employment in Northern Alberta. BC Hydro’s response was a threat to pay the bill or have her electricity cut off.

The brochures on how to save on electricity included with the utility company’s overinflated bills are an insult as no matter what improvements are made to your home, reported usage just continues to climb.

My feedback from BC Hydro, in response to a complaint to the BC Utilities Commission on the significant increase in reported usage despite numerous improvements from last year, is laughable. I get a message saying [the utility] has done a load analysis on my account and they have good news for me. The “good news,” they say, is that it’s attributable to a space heater (not!) or my furnace is malfunctioning because it’s not wired right (not!), even though it’s the same furnace used last year.

I have taken to writing letters to the premier’s office requesting investigation into the operation of these machines but have received no response. It appears, despite being the MLA for Westside-Kelowna, Christy Clark has no time to address the issues her constituents are facing.

Therefore, to raise awareness of this issue I would like to solicit the assistance of someone who is computer-savvy enough to start an online petition that consumers can sign to be directed to Ms. Clarke’s office.

Perhaps with a larger complaint base we will get some assistance.

No houses are being built in Cedar Avenue area designated for park To the editor: Re: Letter to the editor Huge Homes Going Up In Cedar Park, posted to the Capital News website March 20.

No homes are being built in the future Pandosy Waterfront Park.

Also, the two houses under construction are consistent with the Official Community Plan and were approved under the usual building permit process.

B.C.’S outdoors being privatized To the editor: After conservation and First Nations’ needs, the province’s Wildlife Allocation Policy is government’s method of distributing hunting opportunities between resident hunters and non-resident hunters who, by law, are required to hire a guide-outfitter.

Most North American jurisdictions do not require non-resident hunters to hire a guide-outfitter and non-residents are given five to10 per cent of hunting opportunities.

The difference between B.C. and most jurisdictions is the adoption of an inclusive model, named the North American Wildlife Conservation Model.

Flying in the face of the North American Wildlife Conservation Model, in December 2014, and again in February 2015, Steve Thomson, B.C.’s minister of forests, lands and natural resources unilaterally decided to give guide-outfitters an unprecedented share of wildlife to sell leaving more British Columbians’ freezers empty.

While most jurisdictions are giving non-resident hunters 5 to 10 per cent of opportunities, B.C. is now giving 15 to 40 per cent of the harvestable surplus of species such as mountain sheep, mountain goat and moose to guide-outfitters, effectively privatizing that component of wildlife, a common property public resource.

This year close to 5,500 B.C. hunters will apply for 200 lottery moose hunting opportunities in the Okanagan. Odds for the lottery are as high as 95:1 in some areas, meaning most who apply will never in their lifetime “win the lottery.” Conversely, a nonresident can purchase an animal from a guide-outfitter and hunt every year.

Government’s code words for rationalizing this change are “outfitter viability,” which is the politically correct version of guideoutfitters claim they are going broke. Minister Thomson has stated government’s unilateral decision is only a transfer of 60 animals from British Columbians to guide-outfitters across the province. Naturally, the public data used to derive these 60 animals is protected by a cabinet confidentiality agreement.

In B.C. we are well on our way to privatization, following in the shoes of the European model where fish and wildlife are owned by individuals. According to government it is not a big deal. So long as you do not intend on hiking, fishing, hunting or using any public spaces in the future, I agree.

respond to boats from the U.S. identified as a concern by the Canadian Border Services Agency, as well as U.S. partner agencies.

In an announcement made in Kelowna Tuesday morning by Environment Minister Mary Pollack, she said B.C. will work with a number of partners to keep zebra and quagga mussels out of the provincial waters, including Alberta and Washington, and the federal government, as well as the Canadian Border Security Agency and corporations like B.C. Hydro.

She said each crew will be equipped with mobile self-contained decontamination units.

The teams will consist of trained auxiliary conservation officers coming from university compliance training programs offered

by Vancouver Island University, providing valuable experience for students and recent graduates Twenty-four new highway signs featuring the Clean, Drain, Dry program are also being installed at significant entry points into the province.

“We want to make sure these little critters do not get into out lakes and waters,” she said.

While the province’s latest move doesn’t go as far as the Okanagan Basin Water Board would have

liked, chairman Doug Findlater, Mayor of West Kelowna, said he’s happy to see something being done.

He said the OBWB would likely watch how the new moves are going before renewing any calls for monitoring stations at all major road entrances to B.C. Pollack said although these invasive species have never been detected in British Columbia, this program expansion increases protection of B.C.’s lakes and rivers against the threat of quagga and zebra mussels.

Stone said: “My ministry is proud to be part of this important program.

Preventing invasive mussel species from entering our province is crucial to protecting our waterways. I hope to see every boat entering B.C. clean, drained and dry.”

On Tuesday in Kelowna, environment ministry officials gave a demonstration of how to clean, and dry boats that have been in the water to make sure they have no mussels attached.

They said while in most cases washing off boats would be good enough, boaters who use water bodies in the U.S. and Alberta need to be extra vigilant to help keep the destructive mussels from entering B.C. It is estimated that if they were to get a foothold in B.C. waters, the damage they would create could costs hundreds of millions to repair because they not only clog up pipes they deplete the water they are in of nutrients for other aquatic life.

Aquatic invasive species, such as zebra and quagga mussels, pose a significant threat to B.C.’s and Canada’s freshwater ecosystems, said local MLA Norm Letnick.

“Invasive mussels pose a threat to our agricultural producers who rely on effective irrigation systems, and so this program is very important to minimize potential financial risk.”

Greater Okanagan RV Show & Sale

Lifetime community arts champion honoured Joan Panton Williams was presented with the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award last weekend by the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan.

Williams is a long-time performing arts advocate and founder of Sunshine Theatre Society.

After 20 years of experience as a professional actor, Williams returned to Kelowna, the town she was raised in, and in 1977 founded Sunshine Theatre, a local professional theatre company known for its summer productions and for providing professional theatrical training for all ages.

Awards chair Sharon McCoubrey recalled the theatre company’s humble beginnings: “At first, a rope kept the small audience at the front of the theatre, but as success built and the audience grew, that rope had to be moved further and further to the back of the theatre.”

Within 12 years of operation, Sunshine Theatre became the largest professional

summer theatre west of Winnipeg, employing over 60 artists, designers, production staff and student apprentices and servicing over 34,000 visitors per year.

The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to an artist or arts supporter on the basis of their overall contributions to the

arts. McCoubrey credits Williams and Sunshine Theatre as key players in the development of Kelowna’s vibrant performing arts community.

“Even though there are a variety of kinds of theatre performances in Kelowna and area now, Sunshine Theatre was a strong start that set a

high standard. We are thankful to Joan Panton Williams for making this happen.”

Williams as well as the other award category recipients received their awards at the Okanagan Arts Awards cermony held last Saturday, hosted

by CBC’s Gillianne Richards and Chris Walker.

Clarifying the medical expense tax deduction changes I write a column about medical expenses every tax season because it’s the tax credit that is the most time consuming to figure out and can provide the least benefit.

It is also the area of the

tax act that is the most detailed and usually has the most changes.

and designing of personal therapy plans are deductible expenses.

Most people know that in order to claim a medical item, the payment must have been made to a medical

practitioner, a dentist or a registered nurse or be for prescription medication.

They also know that the receipts must be for the current period.

they think that they can deduct 100 per cent of the medical expenses, when in fact, only 15 per cent of the amount over three per cent of your net income can be deducted on your income tax return.

Medical expenses can be taken by one spouse for both spouses and also for your dependents even though they may no longer live with you, limited by the same criteria as above, but against their net income.

The proof that the Canada Revenue Agency requires when taking the medical expense credit for a dependent is that you paid the expense.

The medical expense credit is a non-refundable tax credit. What that means is that a credit is given to the taxpayer that will be deducted directly off their taxes payable based on certain criteria.

It is not refunded to the taxpayer. If the taxpayer doesn’t have enough taxes owing to take the entire medical credit, the rest of the credit is lost.

You can find a list of eligible medical expenses on the CRA website.

The list is not exhaustive, but if you call CRA and ask whether or

not an item is deductible, you will be directed to check that list.

As for what do you need to bring your accountant for a medical expense claim, we require a medical receipt along with proof of payment.

The debit card slips by themselves are not accepted by CRA and will not qualify for the credit.

Most pharmacies are all computerized and will gladly print you out an annual summary that you can bring to your accountant.

Then you can be assured that you have all your medical expenses and it might speed up the processing of your return.

Some pharmacies and dental offices will provide a total page showing just the total of the medical paid for the year, however this is not sufficient.

What you need to provide to your accountant is the detailed list of medical expense procedures performed so that they can verify that there are no non-deductible items included.

New garden space for care home David Lloyd Jones Home, located at 934 Bernard Ave. in Kelowna, has begun planning a new outdoor garden space for its residents.

Jonathan Clare, residential manager at David Lloyd Jones Home, said the care home is truly blessed to be located in an area where its residents can enjoy the outdoors virtually year-round.

“Those who call David Lloyd Jones home need an accessible and attractive outdoor area to enjoy with their friends and families,”Clare said.

The garden space will be located in front of the building off the sidewalk, adding to the beautification of Bernard Avenue. The project cost is estimated at $45,000, over half of which has been donated by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26. KGH Foundation will be raising the remaining $20,000 and is currently accepting donations from family members and the community.

To get involved, visit David Lloyd Jones Home or check out bit.ly/ DLJGarden.

CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY

Daffodil campaign waged in April For the Canadian Cancer Society, the daffodil is more than a simple flower.

This bright and hopeful symbol shows people living with cancer that they don’t have to face cancer alone, and that we won’t give up until we have achieved our vision of a world where no Canadian fears cancer.

During April—Daffodil Month—the Canadian Cancer Society asks all Canadians to buy a daffodil pin and wear it to show their support for those living with cancer.

“We celebrate the ‘power of the flower’ all year round, but April is really our time to shine,” said Randene Wejr, regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society in the Southern Interior Region.

“When loved ones are

diagnosed with cancer, we often want to do something to help or honour them.

“This April, we want people to know that there is something they can do.”

Kelowna residents can support Canadians living with cancer by wearing a pin, buying fresh cut flowers and donating to the door-to-door campaign.

Last year, the Canadian Cancer Society was able to fund $45 million in world-class research to fight all cancers and help more than 85,000 Canadians through its information and support services.

The society also funds important cancer prevention work so fewer Canadians are diagnosed in the first place.

“In April, we like to

focus on the support programs that help people in Kelowna on a cancer journey,” said Wejr.

“Like our cancer lodge here in Kelowna, where patients can stay during cancer treatments to the financial support program that helps pay for their travel expenses to get here.”

Of the five different regions in the BC/Yukon Division of the Canadian Cancer Society, the Southern Interior Region is the largest user of the financial support program.

Since September 2010, more than 1,500 clients have been approved for a total of over $700,000 in funding.

“Our region is the biggest user of the financial support program for several reasons,”

explained Weir. “We’re very geographically dispersed and patients often have to travel long distances for cancer treatment in Kelowna or Vancouver.

In Kelowna, the Canadian Cancer Society kicks off Daffodil Month by selling fresh cut daffodils last weekend.

Volunteers will also be out in the community during April, canvassing door-to-door and at their workplaces.

The daffodil pin will be available by donation at various businesses in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country throughout April, including all Starbucks, Pharmasave and BC Liquor stores.

“We’re looking forward to another successful Daffodil Campaign,” said Wejr.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Kelowna realtor new president for OMREB board of directors A Kelowna real estate agent will be the new leader of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board.

Christopher Miller has been elected president of the OMREB board for the 201516 term.

Miller was installed along with 11 directors representing the Central Okanagan, North Okanagan and Shuswap zones at OMREB’s annual general meeting earlier this month.

He replaces outgoing president Darcy Griffiths, of Vernon, who stays on as past president.

Miller became a licensed realtor in 2004 and has been an OMREB member for 10 years.

An OMREB director since 2012, Miller has served on the finance and audit, and strategy and governance committees, and held the provincial government and community affairs portfolio.

‘‘

As OMREB president, I will continue to help realtors deliver value for their clients….

Christopher Miller

’’

“I am very proud to represent the professional realtors of the Central Okanagan, North Okanagan, Shuswap and Revelstoke markets. I look forward to working with our members and our board to help further our professionalism, and supporting the many initiatives undertaken by our membership to attain a higher quality of life in our communities,” Miller

said.

“As OMREB president, I will continue to help realtors deliver value for their clients and to raise the profile of the board within our local communities.

“We will continue to work with the provincial and federal governments as well as other stakeholders on issues that impact real estate and home ownership, and enhance housing opportunities for families in the board area.”

This is an exciting time in our industry, Miller noted, saying he’s optimistic that more buyers and sellers will be able to reach their housing goals in 2015 as consumer confidence strengthens, the economy improves, employment grows and the market moves into more balanced conditions in the Okanagan-Shuswap.

“I am confident that relatively low mortgage rates and

moderate home prices within the board areas will continue to allow more buyers to enter the market this year, and will encourage more investors to develop rental opportunities for those who are not in a position to buy,” Miller said.

Meanwhile, Anthony Bastiaanssen, of West Kelowna, is the new vice-president of the OMREB board for 2015-16.

A licensed realtor and managing broker, he has been an OMREB member for nine years and has served as a board director for the past year.

Bastiaanssen has also been a member of the Central Okanagan Zone executive committee since 2012.

Also elected as board members for the Central Okanagan Zone are Kelowna realtors Tim Down, Dave Favell, Michael Loewen, and Tanis Read.

U-One project pumps up economy U-One, a new residential community currently under construction next to the UBC Okanagan campus, is Kelowna builder Mission Group’s latest contribution to the landscape.

Besides creating more housing for the icity, U-One has also qualified as an official Urban Development Institute ‘Building Our Community’ project by virtue of the additional economic benefits the development will create.

U-One, which is located within walking distance of the UBCO campus, will be completed by August 2015, in time for the start of the 2015-16 academic year.

It will add 66 suites, in one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, to an area

that currently has a severe shortage of student housing. It is expected to contribute $21 million in economic impact, create 125 (full-time equivalent) local jobs, and pay $1.02 million in development cost charges to the city.

Enrolment at UBCO has increased by 70 per cent in the past six years alone, and 70per cent of its students are from outside the Okanagan.

UBCO states it’s not unreasonable to anticipate another potential doubling of the campus population within the next 20 years, placing more pressure for meeting students’ housing needs.

Mission Group Homes president, Randall Shier said, “We believe it is import-

ant for the public to know the economic impact of new developments like U-One because they affect local employment, revenues to the City of Kelowna, and the cash investment in the community. UDI was interested in starting this program because it is a way to enable builders to promote those benefits, once they have been independently verified.”

Andrew Bruce, president of the Urban Development Institute chapter in the Okanagan, added: “Like so many good projects, U-One is able to demonstrate concrete contributions to our community and we think it’s important that people know what those contributions are.”

Of Prime Interest: Know posted mortgage rates While there are plenty of mortgage rate specials offered to home buyers, what we don’t see are the posted rates that play and important role in the mortgage business.

You might be surprised to know the banks have kept their posted mortgage rates unchanged. Many are not even aware of a posted rate, which could financially impact you down the road.

Posted rates are key if you opt for a variable rate mortgage or any term less than a five years.

The federal government imposed new rules for qualifying in an attempt to limit the option of a variable or a term less than five-year fixed rate mortgage, making it mandatory that you qualify at the higher posted rate.

The posted rate is currently 4.74% and variable rate mortgages are being offered as low as 2.2%. So you qualify at 4.74% and pay only 2.2%. How does that affect you?

You will qualify for a much lower amount and as a result the variable and one- to four-year term mortgages tend to be out of reach.

If you opt for a five-year fixed mortgage currently as low as 2.69% that is the rate you will qualify at and a rate over 2% lower than the posted rate will provide much more room to qualify for a mortgage.

So how does the posted rate come into play if you have qualified for a five-year fixed mortgage at 2.69%.

Should you need to break the term, something most of us think will never happen, knowing the posted rate of the lending institution where you are getting a mortgage could save you thousands of dollars down the road.

The posted rate is used to calculate the penalty for breaking your fixed rate mortgage early. The penalty to break a fixed rate mortgage is three months interest or an interest rate differential.

Every bank calculates the interest rate differential slightly differently.

Typically it involves the difference between the posted rate (not the rate you are paying) on the mortgage at the time you signed your mortgage and the posted rate on an equivalent mortgage at the time you cancel your mortgage.

Most banks also add in the discount you received on the posted rate when you got the mortgage.

A penalty based on an interest rate differential can be in the tens of thousands of dollars higher than a penalty based on three months interest.

In all fairness when a borrower does break their mortgage the lending institution may lose profit they would have made if current rates are lower (they will now have to lend the money at the lower going rate) and you did opt for a five-year fixed for security.

What isn’t fair is calculating these penalties based on the posted rate and not the rate you are actually paying.

It is also the main reason why prepayment penalties have not decreased even though mortgage rates have come down so much.

For example, consider a $300,000 balance owing on a five-year term mortgage you took out three years ago at a rate of 3.39%.

The posted rate at that time was 5.24%.

The three month interest penalty would be $2,542 the interest rate differential would be $14,400.

The bank charges you the greater, resulting in a penalty of 14,400.

Now let’s say you arranged your mortgage with one of several lending companies available through a mortgage broker. Their posted rates are nowhere near what the banks show as posted rate.

Using the example above, their posted rate would have been 3.69% resulting in an interest rate differential of $5,100. Not great either but remember you are breaking the contract and it’s far more favourable than $14,400.

So while your mortgage is never the “posted rate,” you can see why it is one of the most important questions you can ask when you are shopping for a mortgage.

Don’t be flattered when the bank offers you a huge discount from posted rate—just be aware of the future potential consequences.

WHL ROOKIE

Lind progressing with Rockets One of the top midget players in Saskatchewan this season, the Kelowna Rockets were hoping Kole Lind’s transition to the major junior game would be a relatively smooth one.

So far, so good for the 6-foot-2, 175-pound forward who logged his share of ice time and didn’t look at all out of place alongside Cole Linaker and Chance Braid during the first two games of the WHL playoffs against the TriCity Americans.

“We liked him in Games 1 and 2, he was on the body, he was skating and making plays… he was pretty effective,” said Rockets head coach Dan Lambert.

“He’s a very intelligent hockey player and has a knack for knowing where to be on the ice.”

Lind is coming off a stellar 2014-15 season with the Saskatoon Contacts where he led Saskatchewan’s midget AAA league with 45 goals and was second overall in points with 79.

While the Shaunavon, Sask. native theoretically had the skill and work ethic to spend the entire season with the Rockets, the WHL club felt it more advantageous for his development to get him plenty of ice time back in Saskatoon.

Lind made the most of the opportunity.

“It was fine going back to Saskatoon, it’s a great program so I was still able to learn there, come back here and be ready to play when they needed me,” said Lind, who the Rockets picked up in the fourth round of the 2013

Rookie forward Kole Lind was the Rockets’ fourth-round choice in the 2013 WHL bantam draft.

“I can’t complain, coming out of midget and getting a chance to play with one of the best organizations in hockey,” he added. “I can’t ask for much more, so I’ve been fortunate.”

Based on what Kelowna saw from Lind at training camp last fall and with the Contacts this past season, Lambert said it seemed only a matter of time before the young forward would forge his way into the Rockets

lineup.

“He benefitted from going back to midget and had a real good season in triple-A,” said Lambert.

ability to score, we liked what we saw. We injected him into our lineup and he’s done very well.”

Lind got his feet wet with the Rockets during the regular season, playing in six games.

Four of those came after his Contacts were eliminated from the Saskatchewan midget AAA playoffs in midMarch.

Despite the short time frame, Lind believes he’s already benefitting by watching some of the league’s top players ply their trade.

“I’m learning skills from guys like (Rourke) Chartier and (Nick) Merkley, they do some special things out there,” Lind said, “so it’s been pretty nice for me to watch them and pick some things up.”

Along with Dillon Dube, Lind was the only other 16-year-old player on the roster to suit up with the Rockets for the start of the playoffs.

While he admits playing with one of the CHL’s top teams in the post-season can be a bit of a pressure cooker, Lind is doing his utmost to focus, enjoy and simply play his game.

“It’s pretty exciting and kind of nerve wracking at the same time, but I still try and have some fun,” Lind said.

“You just have to lay it all out there and do your best. Not many 16-year-olds get to be in a situation like this with a team this good, so I’m trying to make the best if it.”

The Rockets and Americans meet Wednesday night in Kennewick, WA in Game 4 of their WHL first-round playoff series. @capnewsports.ca

Kelowna United Football Club (KUFC) and Okanagan-based Valley First have joined forces with the goal of bringing soccer to even more Kelowna youngsters.

The new threeyear partnership will help KUFC develop and maintain its dome and facilities at the Mission sports fields on Gordon Drive, as well as keeping soccer programs affordable and enable more at-risk youth to play soccer through subsidized fees.

As part of the agreement Valley First will become title sponsor of KUFC and the sports dome will be renamed the

Valley First Soccer Centre.

“We’re excited to be partnering with KUFC,” says Kevin Smith, regional manager for the Central Okanagan at Valley First.

“Joining with the club is a great fit for Valley First. We’ve already firmly established ourselves as one of the leading financial institutions in the region; partnering with KUFC will enable us to further our support in the area.

“This sponsorship gives us the opportunity to deepen our connection with the Kelowna community while helping a strong, positive, local organization deliver a terrific program.”

Coyotes home at Elks for Easter weekend The Okanagan College Coyotes are at home this Easter weekend for a key quartet of Canadian College Baseball Conference games.

OC will play four games at Elks Stadium, starting Friday at 6 p.m. against the Calgary Dinos.

The Coyotes (3-5) will play the Dinos again Saturday at noon, then will see the VIBI Mariners for the first time this season at 6 p.m.

The weekend wraps up between the Coyotes and Mariners Sunday at 1 p.m.

“It’s a big weekend for us, we have big expectations for our team,” said Coyotes head coach Geoff White.

OC is coming off a win in four tries last weekend in Kamloops.

The Coyotes dropped a pair of close ones to the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack, 2-1 and 2-0.

OC then split with the Dinos, losing 7-5, before earning a 5-3 victory.

Pitcher Joel Lamont had a complete-game victory

for the ‘Yotes.

“In terms of wins and losses, we’d like to be further ahead than were are,” White said.

“Having said that, we’ve had some close games, we’ve lost three by one run and two by two runs.

Mark Krehel is equally enthusiastic about the

partnership.

“With 5,000 youth

and nearly 3,000 adults playing soccer it is by far the most popular, by participation, sport in the Central Okanagan,” says Krehel.

“Providing a place where we can nurture the growth and development of youth soccer in the Central Okanagan has been our goal since we opened our new facility 18 months ago.

“We’re very excited to announce a new long-term sponsorship agreement with Valley First. It won’t be long until you will see their logo and name on all our game jerseys and many other areas.

“Through this new agreement we will be

able to reach even more young footballers in the region through Valley First’s support of the club’s camps, academies, coaching and player development.”

Beyond supporting soccer programming and the KUFC facilities, the partnership with Valley First will bring additional benefits to the club. “Building strong communities is the cornerstone of any credit union,” says Smith. “Getting kids involved in sport is one way to build that passion and community pride.

Another way is to ensure an element of supporting the community into everything we do.”

It’s just been a situation where we haven’t got the big hit…we left a small army on the base paths (in Kamloops). We’ve had some guys swinging the bat well, so we just have to stick with it.”

ANDERSON, KAREN

JANSON, GEORGE

Karen passed away peacefully on Monday, March 23, 2015. Karen was a beautiful woman inside and out, loyal, calm, brave, principled, she made everyone better through knowing her. She will always be missed.

Karen has left behind parents Connie and Elton Anderson, daughters Jaime and Jessica Skinner (Jackson), sisters Kathy (Jim) Lye, Janet Anderson (Douglas MacLeod), Nancy Anderson, Sue Anderson (Jason), nieces Amy Boudreau (Graham Trimble), Heather and Joey Lye, and nephews Dylan Joyce and Jack MacLeod. Karen is predeceased by her beloved husband Malcolm Skinner (2006) and her loving partner George Tidball (2014).

Flowers are welcome at the house until April 6; Karen’s charity of choice was the Nature Conservancy of Canada.

A gathering for friends and family will be at Lindon House in Kelowna on April 16, 1 – 4 p.m.

George Janson passed away at the age of 90 on March 27, 2015. George was predeceased by his wife Ethel in 2005.

Dad was a WW2 veteran.

He fought in the front lines under General Montgomery in Italy and North Africa. He was a top chef in Toronto in the fifties and sixties and retired to the Okanagan where he enjoyed his garden and fruit trees. He loved his children, Barbara (Almer), Donna (Charlie), Richard (Geraldine) and Suzanne. He was a “Gudgy” to grandchildren Brett, Tyler and Jenna and to their friends. The family would like to thank the staff on 4W and 4E at Kelowna General Hospital for their care of dad and we would like to thank his neighbours for their support over the years. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, April 2, 2015 at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

JEAN EMILE DENIS ‘DENNIS’ VERGNANO

June 24, 1942 ~ March 24, 2015 Passed away peacefully in Kelowna Hospice House after a brief battle with cancer at 72 years of age.

He leaves to mourn his wife Judie of West Kelowna, daughters Gillian (Rob), their son Gabriel Colvin; Emily Vergnano, grandchildren Eric and Elizabeth Vergnano and Austyn Fallis, all of Kelowna. He is also survived by sisters Dianne (Ron) Willett of Vancouver, their daughter Brenda, grandchildren Lindsay and Nathan, great granddaughter Abby; son Rick (Laura) Willett, grandchildren, Olivia and Sam; Louise (Brian) Collins of Prince Edward Island and son Jason (Kim) Vergnano, Nilan and Kyle, daughter Anna and Simone; Lorraine (Barry) Russell of Delta, Ryan, Sara and Catherine; and by his brother-in-law Peter (Pat) Steeves of Peachland, their sons Bill (Tracey) Steeves, grandsons Brandon, Cory and Trevor; Jim (Kristy) and grandchildren Sean, Sara and Ashley.

Denny loved the outdoors: hunting, fishing, camping and just walking in the woods, and as a member of the Peachland Sportsman’s Association for nearly three decades, did what he could to ensure there was healthy habitat for fish and wildlife as a legacy for everyone’s grandchildren.

He was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba, but moved out to B.C. with his family in time to begin school in Vancouver, where he grew up and apprenticed as a printer at Pacific Press.

It was at the Vancouver Press Club that he met and began dating Judie some 40 years ago and both worked at the Columbian newspaper in New Westminster, he in the composing room and she in editorial, before they indulged a mutual dream and moved to a remote corner of the Cariboo.

There they built a log home on 40 acres complete with creek, but beyond the last power line and lived for a number of years before the needs of two young children dictated a move to the Okanagan.

Denny worked as a printer at the Kelowna Daily Courier for more than a decade before his retirement from the trade when he began working with another great bunch of people at Northside Industries on the Westside until his retirement in 2007.

We will all miss you Denny. You were my rock. You always supported me in my professional and volunteer ventures and you kept me grounded.

His request was that no formal service be held but that friends and family gather at his home to reminisce, which we will do on Sunday April 5, from 2-5 p.m.

Donations to the Central Okanagan Land Trust or the Okanagan Region Wildlife Heritage Fund Society in his memory would help to further his interest in conservation of land for wildlife.

Economy BON GA KOREAN CUISINE

Straight From DeHart MAXINE DEHART fight for justice against his powerful bosses at Hollinger, much of what occurred and is written about in the book taking place here in the Okanagan. The book chronicles the shameful details of how several Okanagan newspapers were entangled in the fall of Conrad Black and David Radler. Winkler refused to cooperate with his then bosses at Hollinger, at the time Canada’s biggest media company and third largest newspaper group in the world.

Winkler believed they were involved in illegal business practices, and he was eventually fired. He subsequently fought a lengthy legal battle over his wrongful dismissal and tried to alert securities authorities and media about what had been revealed at his trial. Eventually, through this entire process, both Black and Radler were convicted and sent to

prison. Winkler will be speaking at several Rotary Clubs, will be interviewed by local media and will be hosting a book signing at Mosaic Books on Tuesday, April 14, from 3 to 5 p.m. He also plans to host a reception and book signing at the Ramada Hotel on Wednesday, April 15, at 5 p.m. The public is welcome, but please contact pwinkler@ trajan.ca to confirm your attendance. You will certainly want to purchase a copy of this book. Remember, it all started right here in Kelowna.

Corneal specialist Dr. Ron Baldassare has teamed up with charity organization Canadian Vision Care to offer eyeglass recycling at Vivid Laser Centre. Vivid offers all manner of eye surgery that can reduce or eliminate a person’s need for glasses. With the new recycling depot, those unneeded eyeglasses will now be making their way overseas to those in need. In most developing countries, an eye exam can cost as much as one

Had the pleasure of recently dining at Bon Ga Korean Cuisine BBQ & Rolls Restaurant, located at 107-437 Glenmore Rd. (beside Pharmasave).

Owners Changbok Park and Sunok Jung, who is the chef, are both delightful people.

They helped us through each dish to understand the traditional flavours of Korean cuisine. The couple immigrated to Canada six years go from South Korea and opened the restaurant on Sept. 1, 2013.They had previously worked at the UBC Okanagan Sushi Bar for four years before starting their own restaurant.

Sunok is a licensed certified chef for both Korean and Japanese food. Every dish we tried was incredible—Bulgogi (BBQ beef with house special sauce); Jeyuk Bokkeum (BBQ pork with vegetables in spicy sauce); Hot Pot Bibimbap (mixed rice with beef, vegetables, mushroom, fried egg and hot pepper paste in hot pot and my personal favourite the Hot Bone Soup which really had a tang (pork spine, vegetables, green onion in a spicy sauce). Bon Ga does not charge for extra rice and we loved the Korean pears for dessert. Open Monday to Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Sunday from 3 to 8:30 p.m. Call 778-4843412. Incidentally it is Changbok and Sunok’s 20th wedding anniversary today (April 1).

Paul Winkler, former publisher of the Kelowna Capital News, is returning to Kelowna to launch his book, written by his wife and journalist Mary Lynn McCauley Winkler.

Titled A Costly Stand, the book details Winkler’s

Lions Club volunteer Bill McCarry and Dr. Ron Baldassare set up an eye glass recycling depot at Vivid Laser.
