News CN RAIL CORRIDOR

Province commits $7.2 million to trail acquisition Kevin Parnell Staff Reporter

The push to purchase the CN Rail corridor running from Kelowna to Coldstream has been given a $7.2 million boost in the form of a provincial government grant to help with the acquisition of the discontinued rail line.

The provincial money pushes an interjurisdictional team close to its goal of raising $22 million for the purchase of the rail corridor.

However, the funds are also contingent upon an April 25 referendum in Lake Country that would allow the district to raise the final $2.6 million it needs as part of the deal.

Kelowna, Lake Country and the North Okanagan Regional District have negotiated a tentative deal to purchase the line from CN but Lake Country needs a positive result in its referendum to borrow its share.

Both Kelowna ($7.6 million plus $2.6 million of Lake Country’s portion)

and NORD ($1.9 million) are able to fund the purchase through reserve funds.

“We’ve been basing our figures on a provincial grant happening,” said Lake Country Mayor James Baker.

“We see this as an investment for the future and an opportunity for (tourism) revenue so we don’t have to tax.”

Once seen as a slamdunk in Lake Country, more and more residents

are coming out opposed to the deal, raising concerns about future costs, maintenance, policing among other issues.

Those issues include property owners who have first-right-ofrefusal on purchasing the corridor through their land as well as a civil suit filed by the Okanagan Indian Band in B.C. Supreme Court to try and block the deal for the line, the majority of which they

claim runs through their traditional territory.

But despite those issues, the provincial government says acquiring the land is a key part of the province’s goals for sustainable transportation.

“We believe in the plans that the City of Kelowna and its partners have for this discontinued rail line and we think this project is a good investment for the local communities,” said

Referendum opponents not being swayed kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Opponents of the attempted acquisition of the CN Rail corridor in Lake Country say the provincial government’s announcement to kick in $7.2 million dollars towards the rail purchase is just another attempt to sway a growing referendum no-side who could decide the fate of the proposed deal.

Several high profile residents have come forward in opposition to the rail purchase as word of official no campaigns start to filter out in Lake Country in advance of the April 25 referendum.

Residents are being asked to approve a $2.6 million loan by the District of Lake Country, the final piece in a $22 million deal between Kelowna— also representing Lake Country and the North Okanagan Regional District—and CN Rail.

“It’s nothing new,”

said Ron Volk, a retired long-time resident of Lake Country, who gathered several key residents together Tuesday morning to talk about their opposition to the deal.

“We knew this was coming. They picked an opportune time to commit to it because they see what’s happening with the no side.

“They could have said it a long time ago, or closer to the vote, but they see what’s happening.”

What’s happening, according to Volk, is a strong push against the purchase of the rail corridor from residents concerned about future costs of the trail.

Among the latest residents to voice concern is a former councillor who sat for 12 years on Lake Country council until retiring last fall.

Barbara Leamont says the people she has talked to are not only concerned about future

purchase agreement with CN for the discontinued portion of the line between Kelowna and Coldstream for $22 million.

“The purchase of the rail corridor by local government on behalf of the current and future visitors and citizens of the Okanagan is an important capital priority,” said Norm Letnick, the B.C. Minister of Agriculture and MLA for KelownaLake Country.

“By making our intention clear to financially assist with the acquisition, I hope it will better inform residents of Lake Country as they consider how they will vote on the upcoming referendum.” @KP_media1

ALLAN GATZKE/CONTRIBUTOR

Kevin Parnell

Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone. “Dedicating almost 50 kilometres of the rail corridor for cycling and walking purposes will increase opportunities for healthy living and tourism activities in communities along the corridor— something that supports our B.C. on the Move 10year transportation plan.”

The portion of the rail line was part of the Kelowna Pacific Railway, which ceased rail operations in July 2013.

In September 2013, CN Rail began the formal process of discontinuing the remainder of the line.

On Dec. 1, 2014, the City of Kelowna, on behalf of the interjurisdictional team, signed a negotiated sales and

costs associated with maintenance, policing and development of the rail corridor but also other issues in Lake Country such as roads, water and sewer.

And she says the district has been less than forthcoming to the

public, making it hard for people to make an informed decision.

“Whether you are for it or not, I think for me it’s having factual information that people can actually sink their teeth into and look at and it’s not there,” said

Leamont. “It’s not just the rail corridor people are looking at. They are looking at the big picture.

“There are so many things coming forward with increases in sewer fees, water rates, the transportation plan. It’s the unknown that has

people concerned.”

While residents express concern about costs, Lake Country Mayor James Baker says the district’s research into rail trails shows development and maintenance costs do not fall on local taxpayers.

And he denies the district is withholding important information.

“We’re not trying to hide anything, there is no conspiracy other than we see this as a good investment that has the potential for considerable returns,” said Baker.

“We’re not withholding anything it’s just that there are unknowns. But our research from other jurisdictions has shown (maintenance and development costs) doesn’t fall on the taxpayers.

“It’s either spread over a much wider constituency with the two

regional districts involved or comes from grants.”

While Volk and Leamont are not members of an official no campaign, Volk, former organizer of Lake Country’s classic car show, said there are two official no-side campaigns that he has heard that will be coming forward with information in the coming weeks as residents prepare to vote.

A yes campaign has already opened an office in Lake Country and is working on a phone campaign urging residents to vote in favour of the borrowing bylaw so the land can be purchased from CN. A representative of the Lake Country Rail Trail Action Team says their phone polling is showing a close split in the yes and no sides.

What’s your complaint?

Kelowna is a wardless city full of neighbourhood issues.

We throw our votes in one big pile and the top candidates win. If they are all from the Mission, that’s life. If they are all from Rutland, residents from other areas might be resentful. However, on average most of us don’t think of city council again until the moment a problem crops up in our own backyard.

What’s a local politician to do? The answer has changed significantly…

The second place award for Michaels came in the circulation category of 10,000 and over.

Her winning article was headlined A Tale of Two Markets. It tells the story of the struggle sellers at the Kelowna Farmers’ Market went through deciding whether to stay at their traditional rented location in a parking lot on Springfield Road east of the downtown core, or move to a proposed site in the north end of Kelowna that would be permanent.

The same story by Michaels is a finalist for a Ma Murray Award—B.C.’s excellence in journalism writing—in the business category. The winner will be announced April 25 in Vancouver.

Kelowna’s Bikes for Humanity will celebrate a decade of shipping bikes to African countries such as Ghana by hosting its largest ever yard sale.

The sale and auction takes place, rain or shine at St Charles Garnier Church, 3645 Benvoulin Rd., all day on Saturday and until noon Sunday.

Among the items up for sale are four donated vehicles—three cars and a truck—along with 50 bikes not suitable for use in Ghana.

Some items are displayed for a silent auction, but if a bidder pays the low “buy it now” price, the item can be taken away without waiting for the auction to end.

Other offerings include a new canoe, dozens of new and used windows and doors, vinyl and wood windows of all sizes, furniture, two pressure washers, two small freezers, odds and ends, electronics, collectibles and more.

College adopts balanced budget

The Okanagan College Board of Governors has passed a $94.95 million operating budget for the coming fiscal year which includes a two per cent tuition rate increase.

“We have passed a balanced operating budget that allows us

to find some significant savings in a variety of areas.

“When we first reviewed our budget for the coming year, we were facing a seven-digit issue, created by a number of pressures. Administration and staff have found

to continue to provide programs and services throughout the region, without any service reductions or layoffs,” explained board chairman Tom Styffe.

“It wasn’t easy, and we are looking to departments and our staff

ways to increase revenue through growth in some areas, and means to pare expenditures that allow us to balance the budget.”

The board’s budget also includes provision for increased tuition revenue, from growth in the number of international

The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative, a Vernon-based volunteer group, has committed to raising $5 million towards trail maintenance and development and says there are many matching grants available to help offset future costs.

But Volk says people in Lake Country don’t believe that much money can be raised to avoid future costs falling to the taxpayers.

“I’ve lived in this community my whole life and people are laughing at that saying how ridiculous it is,” said Volk.

“Anyone can say this kind of stuff but until you have the money in hand it means absolutely nothing. Their claim to raise that kind of money to upgrade the trail to a walking/biking trail is a fairy tale.”

news _____________________________________________________________________ CARNIVAL FOR KIDS

Angie Brown contributor

Hundreds of people

gathered at the Delta Grand for Easter fun over the weekend, and helped

support a good cause at the same time.

The Easter Carnival

gave kids the opportunity to decorate cookies, get their faces painted, play in bouncy castles and even visit with the Easter Bunny himself.

All proceeds from the Easter Carnival, now in its sixth year, were donated to the United Way of the Central and South Okanagan Similkameen.

This was the second year in a row that the proceeds went to the United Way. Allison Fallis, the event organizer, said the staff “really support” the United Way. “It’s an organization that our team feels passionate about supporting, because they have so many branches under them,” Fallis said.

She noted that a kid’s zumba activity was brandnew to the line-up, and Wobbles the clown came back this year after an absence.

Karen Brandon, a native of Victoria, attended the festivities for the first time with her nephew.

ANGIE BROWN/CAPITAL N EWS

Easter fun benefits United Way

Desirae Brown sits with the Easter Bunny as he prepares for photo opportunities at the Delta Grand Easter Carnival. All proceeds go straight to the United Way. “I like that it’s fun, and it’s also a way to show your support for the community and the United Way,” she said.

“Also, pizza is always a good thing.”

Fallis said the carnival is 100 per cent run by

volunteers from the Delta Helps Committee and UBC Okanagan Civic Engagement members.

“From now on, the plan is to keep partnering with the United Way for consecutive Easter events.”

Last year, the Delta Grand managed to raise $2,500 for the United Way through the Easter carnival. Papa John’s Pizza also donated the money it made, which raised the grand total to $3,000 for local United Way projects.

Full-time worker guilty of keeping social assistance

Kathy Michaels

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A Kelowna woman, who collected nearly $25,000 in income assistance while secretly earning a full-time wage working at a local grocery store, was convicted of fraud in a provincial court last week.

In the court decision posted online, Judge Ellen Burdet, found that Theresa Evelyn Derworiz, 63, intentionally defrauded the government to raise her social standing, not out of some misunderstanding of the rules and regulations surrounding income assistance.

Derworiz did not dispute that she was earning a full-time wage while receiving social assistance in the period between May 1, 2010

and Nov. 30, 2012 or that she owed the government $23,908.09 in overpayment.

Derworiz did, however, unsuccessfully argue that she never intended to deceive the government.

She testified she had been on social assistance since 1999, and when she became fully employed in 2010 she had made attempts to inform the ministry, but they dropped the ball. And it kept rolling.

“It was Ms. Derworiz’s evidence in chief that she tried to get off social assistance in 2010. She made a 1-800 phone call to the ministry in August 2010 and told someone that she wanted to get off social assistance,” reads the decision.

“She provided her name and social insurance number

to this person on the phone. According to Ms. Derworiz, this employee took her information and said good luck.”

Derworiz then received another social assistance cheque. She testified that she next went into the Dilworth office in August or September 2010 and filled out a stub, stating that she no longer needed social assistance.

She recalled having submitted a similar stub earlier in July, and that she put in $1,400 as her income on that stub.

For six months after she started working full time, Derworiz withdrew her social assistance payments soon after she received them.

She testified that she set them aside in case she had to pay them back.

She also contemplated taking the money and

putting it in the night deposit slip at the ministry office. She then decided that was too risky.

In January she stopped withdrawing the social assistance money from her bank account and setting it aside. She testified that she came to the conclusion that perhaps the Ministry was helping her out because she no longer had a roommate. She thought she was entitled to the money—even going so far as to say that she was getting to live like everyone else—and spent what she had set aside.

She added that she did not know what else she could have done to stop the social assistance arriving every month.

Derworiz admitted she knew the ministry only permitted a total monthly income of

Burdet continued, saying Derworiz’s nondisclosure caused the ministry to continue to send her monthly social assistance cheques, which she spent.

“This is conduct that reasonable decent people would consider dishonest and unscrupulous,” she said.

“I find that the Crown has proven beyond a reasonable doubt both the actus reus and mens rea of the offence of fraud and I convict Ms. Derworiz accordingly.”

“She knew that the money she received could have been used by the Ministry for other social assistance recipients. I do not accept her evidence regarding her efforts at alerting the Ministry to her increased income.

Even if I did accept it, those efforts fell far short of her continued obligation to accurately

$1,400, derived from a combination of wages and social assistance. Any amount above that figure would be clawed back by the ministry.

She also acknowledged sending in monthly reports for 11 years and that there is clear wording on the stubs that she was to report any changes of income, and that there is wording on the stubs that, as a person with a disability, she only needed to report changes to her income.

And that is where Burdet found the intent needed to convict Derworiz of fraud.

“She knew that if she told the ministry how much money she

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option.

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

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

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury.

Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury.

Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis.

Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

Opinion OUR VIEW

Visionaries are not near-sighted While we welcome the skepticism Lake Country residents may register about how their tax dollars are spent, focusing that apparent lack of trust right now on the CN Rail corridor project is short-sighted.

The proposed Okanagan Rail Trail project, a one-time long-term visionary opportunity, has the fiscal participation support of the Central Okanagan region and deserves to proceed.

There are many questions filling the letters to the editor, social media and on the airwaves raising questions about this project, most harping on the unanswerable cynical questions of the moment: Who will pay to uproot the existing rails? Who will pay for maintenance? Who will pay for washrooms?

While the ‘how much’ aspect to get the trail operational for local recreation users and tourists is admittedly an unknown entity, the “who” aspect of how it gets paid for isn’t hard to figure out.

It lies significantly in the creation of the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative, a group of volunteers committed to engaging the community in fiscal and volunteer terms, to help raise $5 million and leverage that money to raise a further $5 million in various available government grants towards the trail project.

Lake County residents need to think about the Greenway project in Kelowna and the Kettle Valley Railway restoration as visionary ideas that certainly raised financial questions and concerns at their outsets, but they succeeded because people rallied behind those projects, not because municipal governments, or federal or provincial governments for that matter, were endlessly cutting cheques at the taxpayers’ expense.

Visit Mission Creek Regional Park and you will see hundreds of names of people who donated time and money—individuals, families, philanthropists and businesses—to make the Greenway a reality.

And if you think of the multiple communities that can see a tourism investment benefit and nature conservancy asset being created with the Okanagan Rail Trail concept, that offers a huge resource of people and fiscal resources to draw on for support, which will be needed in the years to come. No need to look at this project with rose-coloured glasses, but with this particular long-term vision, the reward should be thought of as far greater than any potential risk.

B.C.’s labour market goes global The labour situation in B.C. is showing Victoria News increased signs of strain, even before a long-promised boom TOM in heavy construction FLETCHER gets set to ramp up this summer.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that B.C. is suspending its “provincial nomination” program for 90 days. This program allows the province to recommend people for federal immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C. The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applications triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the temporary foreign worker program. Thousands of temporary foreign workers who have hit the fouryear deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the provincial nomination track.

Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomination quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The three-month pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up processing time. Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health care workers and a northeast pilot program are being maintained.

Even with the current slump in energy prices and before anticipated pipeline and liquefied natural gas projects start, the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis.

The last time I was in Dawson Creek, radio ads were offering signing bonuses for qualified truck drivers. In Fort St. John, grocery and hardware retailers have come to depend on foreign workers to keep going.

While supposedly educated young people work parttime and refuse to leave the comforts of southern city life, this is the reality up north, and it’s only going to get worse.

This summer, work is scheduled to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction project in B.C. history. And a union vs. non-union battle reminiscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway.

The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agreement that requires all workers on Site C to be paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way.

BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction.

BCYT executive director Tom Sigurdson says that while all sides acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the United States.

There will be non-union construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north.

There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada. The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them all, and influence Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker program to boot.

McDonald and Premier Christy Clark have politely told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands.

Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site.

It looks like a hot summer ahead.

KELOWNA AIRPORT

YLW needs entirely new terminal building To the editor: What happened to the Kelowna airport expansion plans as presented in the video that has been playing in the terminal building for months for all to see?

As presented now (Airport Eyes $55.6-million Renovation and Expansion, April 1 Capital News) I see the typical piecemeal renovations, not a significant forward-thinking expansion.

The airport administration likes to boast we are a world class tourist destination and the airport is the 11th busiest in Canada, but the terminal building is not on par with even less busy Canadian airports like St. John’s, Fort McMurray or Thunder Bay. The form and functionality of the building

has not changed in decades and here is one example. The departure lounge podiums are bunched together and there is a confusing hallway to all gates with passengers coming and going. This perplexes many a traveller who is used to an open departures hall with podiums at each gate and nearby seating.

What we have is a design that is scaled up piece by piece and often in a reactive fashion so it is nearly outdated upon completion.

It is time to be proactive and stop spending on the Band Aid approach and build a proper terminal that can efficiently handle increasing traffic that is now topping 1.6 million passengers per year.

Of course, the up-front financial costs would be huge and this is primarily why

LIQUOR IN GROCERY STORES

BCGEU calls for unionized workers in private stores

To the editor: Big changes have come to B.C. liquor stores. The changes are long overdue.

On Good Friday, about 120 of B.C.’s public liquor stores were open on a statutory holiday for the first time. Other changes were also introduced this month—shopping hours have been extended, more than 130 stores will be open on Sundays and eventually many more public stores will be offering refrigerated products.

Our union (BCGEU) has lobbied government for these changes and we welcome them. This is an important modernization of the B.C. liquor store system in keeping with modern, responsible attitudes around drinking.

Public liquor stores should remain central to this ongoing modernization. They have a long tradition of better pricing, better selection, knowledgeable staff and social responsibility. The public distribution and retailing of alcohol also produces important public revenue, the majority of which is generated in the public stores. At the same time, B.C. liquor stores provide good jobs all across our province.

The Liquor Distribution Branch has also introduced a new wholesale pricing model.

We have been assured by LDB management that public store prices will remain largely unchanged. However, there is still uncertainty around the new pricing system.

While we welcome the modernization of the retailing operations, our union will be paying close attention as it rolls out. This new pricing system must allow public liquor stores to remain competitive. At the same time, the pricing system should ensure that public liquor store jobs remain stable and secure. In this difficult economy, these jobs need to be protected.

Public liquor store salaries are often grossly exaggerated by our opponents.

Let’s set the record straight. While some of our experienced, full-time members make in the region of $20 an hour, many of the store workers you see, especially in the busy summer months and December, earn about $15 an hour. Across all Liquor Distribution Branch operations, including retail as well as LDB headquarters and warehouses, the

average annual salary is about $42,000.

These are good wages, but they certainly are not lavish wages.

We will also be looking to see if the new pricing model protects public revenues generated through liquor distribution and retailing. These revenues pay for services on which we all rely, so we also need to increase these revenues in a socially responsible way.

There is also uncertainty around the provincial government’s decision to allow the sale of alcohol in grocery stores. Many public stores are already located near existing grocery stores. These public liquor stores will now be open seven days a week and on holidays, just like nearby grocery stores.

Our union does not see the need for grocery store liquor sales. However, if the government is determined to bring liquor sales into grocery stores, we believe these “stores within a store” should be staffed by experienced B.C. liquor store employees.

Our members have a record of responsible retailing, including checking identification to prevent sales to underage drinkers, fundraising for important causes and our members are a key part of the annual Dry Grad campaign.

The provincial government believes these new regulations and pricing system will level the playing field between private and public liquor sales. Another change needs to be implemented to truly level the playing field.

Private liquor stores can advertise and most of us have seen a flyer from a local private liquor store. Public liquor stores are prevented from advertising. Advertising is key part of successful, modern retailing. Preventing the public stores from advertising makes about as much sense as closing on Sundays. The advertising prohibition belongs to an earlier age with different attitudes, and should be lifted.

B.C. has been well served by our public liquor distribution and retailing system for generations. It deserves to be a central part of the system in the future.

Stephanie Smith, president, BC Government Employees Union

we are at a juncture as I see it. In the long term the numbers are projected to continue upward and we all know tourism is a major driver for the valley, so can we afford not to make bolder changes now?

People of the world will get an impression because the terminal building is commonly the first and last place they will spend some time in the Okanagan.

Unfortunately, as it now stands, it is a near perfect reflection of the short-sighted, small town thinking that tenaciously holds this city.

Is this the image we want to maintain for Kelowna in the future?

Rodney Kozar, Kelowna

B.C. teachers don’t need premier’s help To the editor: On March 26, without first consulting BC teachers or the BCTF, the Christy Clark government introduced Bill 11, which will change the system of teacher professional development in the province.

To hear a related discussion, Google the March 27 podcast of BC Almanac (CBC radio) with guest Ron Burton (chair of the Burnaby School Board) and a number of telephone callers.

Victoria teacher Tara Ehrcke wrote on her education blog, Staffroom Confidential: “The legislation as introduced gives government the power to enact an approval system of its choice. Who approves and what is approved will be key to the degree of coercive control the new scheme represents.”

With this in mind, it’s time for a rewrite of Another Brick in the Wall (with apologies to Pink Floyd): Christy Clark: Brick in the Wall Teachers don’t need Pro-D regulation Teachers don’t need Christy’s thought control No dark Bill 11 from Victoria Christy leave them teachers alone Hey! Christy! Leave them teachers alone!

All in all you’re another brick in the wall.

All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

Fundraiser set for musical therapy program for youth Angie Brown Contributor

The Exceptional Music Adventure will host a night of music and food Saturday at its second

annual Children and the Arts fundraiser.

EMA offers private music lessons and therapy for people with autism and disabilities. Proceeds from the fundraiser,

to be held at the Cove Lakeside Resort, 4205 Gellatly Rd., will help pay for instruments and fund student lessons.

Both Gordon James and Bob Silverside will be

playing at the fundraiser, as well as EMA’s faculty.

There will also be a silent auction and wine raffles.

Heather McCullough, the founder of EMA, said the program runs in both Vernon and Kelowna, teaching to nearly 80 students.

“The youngest is nine, and the oldest is 87. She plays guitar,” McCollough said.

“The music therapy really helps them. This is the only (program) like this in Canada, because most music stores just don’t have teachers with the dedication and skills.”

McCollough explained EMA started as a pilot program three years ago.

“We wanted to see how it would work out to introduce both children and adults with disabilities

to the world of music.”

EMA managed to raise $600 for its students at last year’s Children and the Arts event.

“It was kind of small, because it was outside and the weather was bad,” said McCollough.

“It’s inside this time, because The Cove invited us and said, ‘We’ll help you guys out.’”

The cost of each ticket

costs $50 and includes appetizers by chef Grant Demontreuil, and wine tastings from the House of Rose Winery.

The fundraiser starts at 5:30 p.m. and goes until 7:30 p.m. There is room for 100 people, and 25 tickets have been sold so far.

For tickets, call Heather McCullough at 250-8080131.

Burners are typically subject to much abuse—high temperatures, corrosive food acids and salts; rapid temperature changes and condensation.

You want to look for a thick burner with flame ports on the side for optimal heat distribution (two sources of flame) and to

reduce the risk of the ports getting clogged with food drippings.

Most grills offer single tube burners. This burner design could result in more heat at the back vs. the front due to the flow of gas being concentrated at the back of the burner. There are burners with a tube-intube or dual-tube design

OF PRIME INTEREST

When is it time to renew early?

One of the most common questions we are asked is: “Is it time for us to get out of our existing mortgage, pay a penalty (if appropriate) and refinance at a lower rate?”

The most important thing to realize is there is no easy answer. When we receive a call there are important questions we ask: What is your current interest rate?

What is the remaining term on your mortgage? What are your monthly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or weekly payments?

The above information will supply us with the tools to be able to calculate if it is worthwhile to pay a penalty (if appropriate) and refinance at a lower rate.

What you must realize is by lowering the interest rate and leaving your payments the same as when your rate was higher, the principal amount on your mortgage will reduce much quicker thereby saving a lot of future interest costs and building up the equity in your property at a faster rate.

Also, when it comes to a future renewal, the principal balance of your mortgage will be much less.

If you are worried about inflationary aspects in the future and rising interest rates you may wish to renew your mortgage early and guarantee a rate to hopefully carry your mortgage over a period

where mortgage rates may increase in the next year or two, when your mortgage may be coming up for renewal. Plus, if you are on a tight budget, lower payments may help ease the cash crunch you may be in now or the future.

If your mortgage is up for renewal in the near future and you wish to leave your existing financial institution, it may be possible to “switch or transfer” your mortgage without having to pay fees.

There are many interest rate options and terms available: closed, fixed rate mortgages from six months to 10 years; closed, variable rate mortgages for three to five years at historically low rates; open variable rate mortgages and credit lines at competitive rates. We will find the best rates and terms to fit your needs to ensure we do what’s best for you.

We have seen the ups and downs of mortgage interest rates over our many years of lending and we can tailor a new mortgage to suit your needs at very low, competitive interest rates.

A five year fixed rate is at 2.69 per cent.

FOR GOLFERS

Q A

Does what you say to yourself influence your golf performance?

Yes… and we all talk to ourselves. We all have a constant internal dialogue in our heads all the time. It is is one of the main functions of our conscious mind. That self-talk can be either helpful or critical. When critical, we refer to it as our inner critic. When supportive, we refer to it as our inner coach. Whatever we consciously think about, our subconscious mind does it’s best to deliver. This self-talk rules the type of pictures the mind is creating and in turn they direct the subconscious and body on how to perform or behave. On the golf course, it dictates the result of your shot at hand. How do you think your next shot will be hearing your inner critic screeching, “Don’t screw up this shot?” It all begins with what you say to yourself.

Any golfer should learn how to make appropriate selftalk part of their mental conditioning to perform at their best. This is one technique among others taught during my one day seminar on improving your golf performance.

You know that golf is at least 50% a mental game. How much have you invested in your mental training? Visit my website.(Seminars) E-mail or call to reserve your seat.

Q A

What is the advantage of using ozone when cleaning carpets and furniture?

Ozone has tremendous benefits for cleaning carpet and furniture. Ozone in water (aqueous ozone) will kill virtually all germs, bacteria and viruses on contact in a few seconds, even on carpet. Steam cleaning (HWE) cannot do this as the water used is not hot enough for long enough on the carpet.

Ozone is also an effective deodorizer and will destroy most odor molecules on contact, but leaves no masking odor behind.

Another benefit is that dust mites, which require a certain bacteria present to digest the food they eat, will starve as the ozone has killed the bacteria. People with dust mite allergies often find relief afterward.

Ozone also boosts the cleaning power of our green seal certified solutions as the active molecule (O3) breaks down microscopic soils rendering them down to their base elements.

This oxidized soil is no longer able to stick to the fibers and is more easily extracted both in the initial cleaning and during post vacuuming. After 20-30 minutes the ozone destabilizes from its aqueous state reverting back to its normal “fresh air” oxygen state.

Oxy-Dry exclusively uses ozone to clean carpets, area rugs, furniture and mattresses! Visit our website, connect with us online and call us to book your appointment for the most pleasant carpet cleaning experience you’ve ever had!

Police have released the name of the woman found dead in her Glenview Gardens townhouse last week.

Jacqueline Elizabeth Abaku, 31, died in what police are now calling a “sudden death” instead of a “suspicious death.”

No arrests have been made, but police are now offering assurances that the public is not at risk.

Cpl. Joe Duncan said Mounties have been pursuing leads in the case that came to their attention March 31 at 3:46 p.m., and have concluded there is no danger to the public.

As to what may have caused a seemingly healthy mother of two to die suddenly, remains to be seen.

Duncan at first presented the case as a suspicious death, but he’s now being more circumspect in his assessment.

“We are still working with the coroner’s service on the cause of death, and autopsy reports have come in, but we’ve ordered further tests,” he said. “Police are also still following up on a few tips.”

The police have set up a Serious Crimes Tip line and request members of the public who may have any knowledge of this incident to call 250-470-6236.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP, at 250-470-6236. Remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, leaving a tip online at www.crimestoppers.net or by texting your tip to CRIMES (274637) ktown.

Are you, or someone you know, over 65 and without a family doctor?

Choose an Take time to connect with yourself active lifestyle THE UNTETHERED SOUL

It’s been almost four months since my mom passed away.

I got a call from a close friend this past week as she was about to leave to be with her dear mom who had just suffered a massive stroke.

My heart went out to her. Very quickly over the next 24 hours, I noticed my own energy beginning to close down.

Her pain, without me realizing it, had once again triggered my own feelings of loss around my mom’s death and the fact that I miss her very much.

Emotional pain is a funny thing. We only want to give it our attention for short periods of time.

We seem to have a natural human tendency to move towards protecting these tender

Seniors’ Concerns MARJORIE HORNE inner feelings by closing in rather than opening up, to resist rather than allow pain to simply pass through our heart and be released.

Embracing feelings of loss are often put on a timer, not intentionally, but our inclination is to not linger with internal pain and try to get over it as quickly as possible.

I noticed that over the days that followed after sending my heartfelt empathy to my friend, I became wrapped up in the busyness of my life, working late and getting up very early to attend to

According to the World Health Fitness For Organization, 60 Seniors to 85 per cent of the population worldwide does not BOBBI MOGER engage in enough activity, making physical inactivity the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.

Gerontological research has shown that while one-third of the aging process is due to heredity and biological factors, the remainder is based on one’s lifestyle choices. That’s exciting news, because by taking responsibility for how we live we can gain control over our health and mortality.

Choosing not to exercise regularly is recognized as a health hazard. In fact, sitting is the new smoking, according to Dry James Levine, director of the Mayo Clinic Obesity Solutions Initiative.

Let’s compare the risks of a sedentary lifestyle and the benefits of an active one: • Being sedentary shortens your life in many ways and increases the risk of serious diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease • Those who are physically inactive also have an increased risk of breast and colon cancer • Sedentary people have the highest rates of heart attack, are more likely to gain excess weight and tend to have higher cholesterol levels • Choosing not to exercise escalates bone loss and the loss of lean muscle tissue you need to move your body to get stronger so you can perform the necessary physical tasks in life.

These are just some of the benefits of exercising regularly: • Strengthens the heart • Improves blood flow • Prevents insulin resistance which is the primary cause of type two diabetes • Benefits your cholesterol levels • Reduces the risk of dementia by 50 percent • Cuts the risk of heart attack in half • Lowers the risk of stroke by two thirds • Have a more efficient immune system • Increased energy • Increased self esteem • Increased stamina and strength • Decreased risk of Osteoporosis • Enhances oxygen transport throughout the body • Icreases your range of motion • Makes body more agile • Reduces joint discomfort • Enhances coordination and balance • Improves posture • Enhances quality of sleep • Enables weight loss and keeps it off • Improves circulation and helps reduce blood pressure • Eases and possibly eliminates back problems and pain.

Exercise should be fun. Finding an activity or exercise program that appeals to you is key in adherence and well-being over the long term.

For greatest overall health the recommendation is 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic activity three or more times a week, and muscle strengthening and stretching two or more times a week. bobbimoger@gmail.com

Morrissey closes in on return from injury

Tomas Soustal (right) and the Kelowna Rockets will face off against Ryan Gagnon and the Victoria Cougars Friday in the second round of the WHL playoffs.

WHL PLAYOFFS

Matchup of B.C. rivals no surprise Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

As far back as the opening face off of the 2014-15 WHL season, there was a strong sense that supremacy in the B.C. Division would come down to two particular teams.

Six months later, as most expected, the Kelowna Rockets and Victoria Royals are facing off for a berth in the Western Conference final.

The best-of-seven second-round series between the hardened rivals opens Friday night at Prospera Place.

The Rockets won five of eight meetings during the regular season and outscored the Royals 2924 in the process.

Kelowna head coach Dan Lambert isn’t the least bit surprised to see Victoria in round 2 and believes the teams are as well-matched as the numbers would suggest.

“To be honest, when you look at our records against each other, we’re pretty evenly matched,” said Lambert. “It seems like when we played them and we were tired, they had their way with us… and vice-versa.

“It is a real good match up, they’re very well coached and it should be a very good series.”

There was no love lost between the Rockets and Royals during the regular season as the clubs combined for an average of more than 50 minutes in penalties per game.

While Kelowna captain Madison Bowey expects both teams to show more discipline in the playoffs, he said the intensity level should be even higher with all that’s at stake.

“It is a good rivalry, we really don’t like each other, we have a few friends off the ice, but

when it gets down to it, we’re two teams that really want to win,” Bowey said. “We won’t stop at anything to do such a thing…so I think it’s going to be a fun series, high-tempo, competitive and exciting.

“There’s bad blood so I would expect it to be a

battle to the end.”

Whatever the Royals throw at the Rockets in the second round, Lambert said his club will need to be prepared to respond in the right way.

“We know that they’re going to come at us hard and that’s probably the biggest thing, they do like to compete hard and try get you off your game,” said Lambert. “That’s what we expect from them and we have to play a certain way as well if we want to have success and move on.”

It was a welcome sight for coaches and teammates Monday when Josh Morrissey took to the ice for Kelowna Rockets’ practise.

Instead of wearing a yellow, no-contact jersey, the 20-year-old defenceman was clad in a black jersey.

What it all means is that Morrissey is moving ever closer to a return to the Western Hockey League club’s lineup.

The 6-foot, 190-pound Calgary native hasn’t played since Feb. 28 after suffering a leg injury.

While the exact date of Morrissey’s return remains in question, it seems likely he’ll be back well before the initial projection of April 20—perhaps as early as this weekend against the Victoria Royals.

“At least I’m out here,” Morrissey said after Monday’s practise. “A lot of things look OK but there’s still lots of work to be done so it’s tough to say exactly when, but if it was this weekend it would obviously be a nice thing to happen.”

After surviving the last five weeks on the back end without the services

Josh Morrissey

of the Winnipeg Jets’ draft pick, head coach Dan Lambert said it will be a nice bonus for the Rockets when Morrissey does make his return.

“Josh certainly is a guy we could use,” said Lambert. “He’s guy that is a pretty special player when he’s playing.”

With the Rockets’ playoff run heating up, Morrissey is anxious to get back on the ice with his teammates. At the same time, he remains patient.

“It’s exciting, you can kind of taste it but you don’t want to rush it and come back too soon,” he said. “So I’ll try and do everything I can to get it as much rest as possible and continue the rehab process.”

Rockets’ forward Tyrell Goulbourne will return to the lineup Friday after missing two games with an upper body injury, while forward Justin Kirkland (lower body) remains sidelined on a day-to-day basis.

“It enables players to become more resilient and adaptable athletes in their teen and adult years.

These are vital skills for all athletes.”

It’s an emotional roller coaster that Kierra Smith would prefer not to have to ride again.

From winning an NCAA swimming title last month to very nearly missing out on Canada’s national swim team this week, it’s been a bumpy journey for the 21-year-old Kelowna athlete.

In the end, Smith can breathe easier after being named to the Canadian squad for both the Pan Am Championships and the FINA world championships later this year.

At the Canadian trials last week in Toronto, Smith was the favourite to win the 200 metre breaststroke and didn’t disappoint by touching first the prelims in convincing fashion.

But Smith was then disqualified after officials ruled her elbows exited the water on her stroke recovery, which technically provides an unfair advantage.

After an appeal from her coach, Emil Dimitrov, the decision was overturned and Smith was reinstated to swim that night in the final.

Once again Smith finished first—with the fourth fastest time in the world—but for the second time in one day she was disqualified on the same ruling.

This time the appeal was denied.

“I’ve never been called on anything before, so it was frustrating,” said

A new sport for youth is coming to town.

Touch Sevens rugby is the non-contact version of Rugby Sevens, being introduced as a new Olympic sport in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.

The game will be offered to local 10- to 12-year-old boys and girls, beginning April 19.

The touch game is a fun, fast, fitness-oriented sport played in various forms all over the world.

It is a great sport to help local youth develop their ‘physical literacy’.

“It is important for

Kierra Smith on the starting blocks. She has been selected for both the Pan Am and FINA world championship Canadian teams.

Smith who won the 200yard breaststroke at the NCAA finals last month in North Carolina. “I definitely wasn’t doing it to try and win…it was just my stroke and it was upsetting to be disqualified. If I did do it, it wasn’t my intention.

My coach (Emil) and I are going to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

But Liquid Lightning Swim Club member would get a reprieve. As the meet came to a close and Canadian officials named the final roster, Smith ultimately made the team as a discretionary choice—a swimmer who was simply too talented

to leave at home.

“It was just a roller coaster, a rough meet all the way around, but I’m happy with the way it ended and the selection committee put me on the team,” said Smith, who finished the meet with a strong second-place effort Thursday in the 100 breaststroke. “I felt like I handled myself well and it turned out well.”

Smith will compete in the 100 and 200 metre breastroke events at the Pan Am Championships in Toronto in July and at the FINA World Championships the following month in Russia.

OKANAGAN

One of Big White Ski Resort’s youngest freestyle skiers has been invited to join the ranks at this year’s 2015 IFSA NORAM Junior Championship.

Lewis Brunt, 13, who attends the Community School on the mountain, started skiing when he was three years old and has been on the Big White Ski School’s freestyle team for many years.

“Lewis has been the biggest push for the

freeski side of our team,” said Lewis’ coach Theo van Zyl. “He’s been evolving as an athlete in our Cliff area for many years and has become bigger and better each day, charging harder and faster.”

The growth in Big White Ski Resort’s freestyle teams has allowed Lewis to specialize in big mountain skiing. He’s traveled to a number of competitions across Canada

throughout the season, which has earned him enough points to qualify for the championship.

The ISFA NORAM, held at Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming, features only 160 athletes from across the USA and Canada who will be participating in the national finals.

Qualification for the championship is based on national and regional rankings. The competition takes place from April 8 to 12.

toss it out, but you are not sure how to fix it. A toaster that just won’t toast? A lamp on the fritz? The old bicycle sitting neglected with a flat? The Repair Café could be just the event you are looking for.

Hosted by the Regional Waste Reduction Office, the Repair Café takes place Saturday, April 18, at the Okanagan College

Center for Learning, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and it’s all free. The Repair Café enlists handy volunteers to help fix broken household items at no cost and teach basic repair skills.

They help shift us from a throw-away to a fixit society. For more info visit regionaldistrict.com/ recycle or call 250-4696250.

On Earth Day, April 22, the Downtown Kelowna

Association will launch the Downtown Butt Grab Campaign. This campaign aims to reduce harmful cigarette waste and create a healthier community by minimizing tobacco related litter in an effort to keep the environment free of toxic waste. According to the Surf Rider Foundation, an estimated 4.5 million cigarette butts are disposed of in our environment annually

worldwide. These butts never fully decompose and are often littered on our sidewalks and streets. They leach toxins that are poisonous to wildlife and contaminate our water sources. The DKA is encouraging all businesses to sweep up any cigarette butts in front of their shops, but everyone should try and do their part to help with this Earth Day community clean-up effort. For

New oyster bar opens with backing from local favourite Okanagan oyster lovers need not fantasize about Vancouver’s many bars dedicated to this lavish, love-enhancing bivalve— we’ve now got our own sexy joint across from City Park to melt into at Pilgrim & Pearl.

Walking through the lobby of the Prestige Inn, one can’t help but be drawn hook, line and sinker through the gorgeous glass doors and into the arms of this airy, West Coast-style room.

A beautiful long bar with comfy seating faces the open-air kitchen and heaps of oysters waiting to be fresh shucked for you. There are tables

Food & Wine Trails JENNIFER SCHELL throughout, surrounded by lots of light coming through the large windows, high ceilings with nautical touches perfectly placed here and there.

Pilgrim & Pearl has filled a gaping hole in our culinary landscape and the locals are as happy as clams.

As mentioned, they offer a fabulous list of labels for the oyster’s

perfect pairing— bubbly, with lots of choices served by the glass.

Oh hurrah, how glamorous to be able to sip a glass of bubbly chosen from the impressive list of Growers Champagne that focuses on the small producer and includes both local and foreign delights. Then one can peruse the daily list of luscious oysters on feature to slurp with that sip.

The final pearl of wisdom that this restaurant group (The Revival Group) has bestowed on our city is its

Revival Hour.

It is the Pilgrim & Pearl’s version of happy hour that occurs during the very civilized hours of 3 to 6 p.m. with West Coast oysters on for a bucka-shuck and East Coast oysters are $2/each. The Prestige Inn is located at 1675 Abbott St. in downtown Kelowna.

••• The local pescatarian scene has made a resurgence here in the Okanagan with these new seafood focused venues.

It is in part thanks to local fishmonger Jon Crofts at Codfather Seafood Market, who

brought awareness of sustainable seafood and fishing practices to our community and the freshest seafood possible.

We can also thank him for allowing chef Ross Derrick to shack up with him at Codfathers with The Table at Codfathers eatery open in house.

I fell hard for Chef Derrick’s fish and chips with smoked tomato aioli dip and even harder for his Korean-style fried cauliflower. This is also a gluten intolerant friendly joint—the fish batter is made with awesome NextJen Gluten-Free Flour blend that is also available for sale at Codfathers.

Everything on his seafood-centric menu is seriously delicious and super fresh—obviously he shops from the freshest fish source available.
