Vic Macdonald, former president of the Capital Beekeepers Association, says the ways to solve the crisis of the declining honey bee population is to become a beekeeper. See story A3.

Facing an extreme forest fire hazard YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE LIVING HERE.

Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Conditions in the forests immediately surrounding West Kelowna are eerily similar if not worse than in the lead-up to the destructive 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park fire that ripped through the Central Okanagan.

Fire crews from the District of West Kelowna and the Westbank First Nation have spent much of the past several months working on a joint

forest fire fuel management project to clean-up a portion of the Westside forests of dry, low-lying and dangerous fuels.

“We’re a month to six weeks ahead (of normal) in terms of spring conditions,” said West Kelowna Fire Chief Jason Brolund, as he toured a 40-hectare project in the Westbank First Nations community forest close to homes in the Rose Valley area.

“The science is suggesting it’s going to be an El Nino summer which is warmer and drier than

normal. If you look back, the closest year to these same conditions is 2003.”

As crews worked nearby, burning debris piles in a project that will likely have to wrap up this weekend due to the increasingly dry conditions, Broland said the public needs to be extra cautious this year, cleaning up their own yards and avoiding things like throwing lit cigarette butts out their vehicle window or starting camp

A happy bee truly is a busy bee Optimism abounds in backyards, orchards, vineyards and fields where bees make honey the whole day long.

affecting the Okanagan.

“Well, they’re not going hungry,” he said, when asked this question, gesturing toward his bees.

What has hurt the natural supply is disease.

“The varroa destructor is a problem around the world,” he said. This parasitic mite attaches itself to the body of the bee and weakens it by spreading a virus. A significant mite infestation will lead to the death of a honeybee colony.

Then, humans aren’t helping either.

In his estimation there’s a lot of reckless human intervention and disease, followed up by failure to properly police the industry.

Artificial insemination practices of queen bees, which he calls “the rape of the queen bee,” fires him up.

Beekeepers looking to make a fast buck partake in practices that shorten the viability and well-being of the species.

Natural predators, like the aforementioned mite—which beekeepers can keep in check if they’re diligent—and bears aren’t a great help, either.

In good news—wasps aren’t so

If you find your way to a cosy Kelowna neighbourhood where birds chirp happily as they flit between unseasonably bright blossoms, don’t be alarmed when you tune-in to a persistent buzz.

You have just found the grand poohbah of the secret order of backyard beekeepers and his stash of Victorian Queen bees.

Or not-so-secret, really. Vic Macdonald is his real name, and his neighbours know what he’s up to. They have sampled the honey he’s cultivated from his contented hives of bees and their gardens benefit from the industrious creatures he cares for.

His work is also known further afield, as around 200 backyard beekeepers from around the valley can attribute their honey making savvy to his two-day course at Bees Incorporated.

“We’re busy almost every weekend teaching courses,” the former president of the Capital Beekeepers Association said, as a wide smile crossed his face Tuesday afternoon.

He finds the industrious pollinators not only honey bee, he said, you have to be intensely interesting but magically calming as well. “engaged,” which in this case means, allowing bees to pick up the pollen they take home.

Macdonald pointed out, one bee can pollinate an awful lot of much a problem.

Its a notion that may make some uneasy, but it’s obviously plants.

“Wasps don’t want to go into the alcove (of the hive) because a great joy for Macdonald who, like an exploding number of “When we take the bees in the orchard, we use one full size the bees will attack them,” he said. “If they enter, the bees will backyard beekeepers Canadawide, is outright smitten with his hive with 10 frames per acre,” he said. ball up and shiver, and it gets so hot that it melts the wax, and bees.

Patients battling cancer in the Central Okanagan can now access followup care for free as the non-profit group Inspire Health is providing its services free of charge for the first time in its 18 year history.

The organization, with offices in Kelowna, Vancouver and Victoria, as well as online, began a year-long trial to do away with a previous annual fee and offer services from health care providers for free for patients who are diagnosed with cancer.

“We support patients and their families and encourage them to take an active part in their care,” said Terry Heidt, clinical director at Inspire Health, in the Towne Centre Mall.

“We have a team of family physicians,

The organization provides free support to cancer patients. a nutritionist, exercise therapist, counsellors and other staff to provide an individualized health and wellness approach to people living with cancer.”

Previously, Inspire Health charged people a $450 annual fee, but thanks to funding through the B.C. Ministry of Health, private donations and grants,

the organization has been able to drop the annual fee and help cancer patients deal with their diagnosis and put a plan in place without the financial barrier.

“A diagnosis of cancer can be very shattering for somebody but it can also offer the opportunity for re-evaluation, a better look at their life and what things are really important

in terms of wellness and lifestyle factors,” said Heidt.

“Our emphasis is on lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, emotional and spiritual well-being and also education.

“Lifestyle and wellness do have a profound influence on patients. We have seen this with heart disease for the past 30 years but for some reason it has lagged behind with cancer.”

However, Heidt says now being able to provide the services for free should have a major impact on cancer patients and their willingness to access health and wellbeing services in the wake of a cancer diagnosis or even years after the disease is in remission.

Inspire Health opened in Kelowna in September 2012.

“We were quite busy when we opened our doors but the membership fee was a huge barrier for a lot of patients,” said Heidt.

“There are a lot of things that make finances really challenging...if they are not able to work or if they have loans.

“Now that we have been able to remove the final barrier it’s becoming quite busy. There is a huge need for this kind of care in B.C.” Across the three centres in B.C., Heidt says the group is expecting more than 3,000 new patients this year.

Currently, Inspire Health works with 150 patients in Kelowna. Find out more about Inspire Health and its services online at inspirehealth.ca or call 250-861-7125. @KP_media1

This year’s event was exciting in many ways, notably for the engaging address given by our keynote, Vancouver Whitecaps FC President Bob Lenarduzzi.

This year, community donations plus a contribution from UBC to match the gift portion of all Breakfast ticket sales has added more than $50,000 to the Athletics Scholarship Endowment.

The endowment now totals just over $500,000, which translates into more than $12,800 of support annually for our student athletes. From all of UBC, we thank you.

“We called them and they’re just so excited about the prospect of us working with them. You can feel that energy, and it just makes you want to work with them.”

Breitkreutz adds that the food bank is especially low on food during the spring, so this food drive comes at a good time.

Because HIIT is still a relatively new form of working out, Breitkreutz and Harrison will be the first people to attempt the Guinness World Record for biggest HIIT group workout.

“You hear about other large workout classes, like yoga, but not this,” said Breitkreutz.

In order to qualify for the world record, 250 people need to show up.

Breitkreutz and Harrison are hoping for more than 500 participants.

HIIT stands for high intensity interval training, and is a type of workout that requires only 12 minutes per day.

All participants must bring a non-perishable food item for the food bank in order to be granted admission.

Breitkreutz said she and Harrison started HIIT It Kelowna a year ago, and hundreds of people participate in its online workouts every day.

“We wanted to spread how we feel blessed as best as possible, so we put our minds together and thought of different organizations within Kelowna that resonate with people. One that lots of people want to support.”

From their initial willingness to step into the title role in what was at the time an untried fundraising format, to their generous and continued support of the event, Valley First has demonstrated the type of leadership we are working to instill in our student athletes.

The success of this event, as confirmed by the fact that other local organizations have successfully copied the model, is a further sign of Valley First’s positive impact in our community.

Chelsea Harrison (left) and Melanie Breitkreutz are the founders of HIIT It Kelowna. At the end of this month, they’re hosting a food drive and hope to break a Guinness World Record.

“This Guinness World Record is a neat thing, because it puts Kelowna on the map with the health and fitness industry. We’re super proud of encouraging people from Kelowna to be active, and this is a great way for people to support our city.”

Breitkreutz said that, after the birth of her second child, Harrison convinced her to start doing HIIT workouts.

“I’ve worked out my whole life, and I’ve never seen anything that brings results so quickly. That’s why we need to start this.”

She said HIIT is not a

gimmick even though it “honestly sounds too good to be true.”

“We get testimony after testimony that say the exact same thing.

You start to see muscle definition in a month.”

Idea pitch to Dragons Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A local man bared his nipples and bottles to the producers of the CBC’s Dragons’ Den when they were recently in Kelowna, and it’s earned him a chance to pitch the high profile investors in their Toronto studio later this month.

Brent Markus, of Help Save Mom Inc., will be in front of the Dragons with his Breastfeeding Bottle April 27. He’s hoping they’ll make an investment of $200,000 in exchange for 25 per cent of the company’s equity and 10 per cent in royalties that will offer rewards in both dollars and feel-good points.

Markus came up with what he believes to be the ultimate breast-like bottle in look and feel in 2012 after his daughter Olivia was born.

She came into the world a healthy 8.4 lbs, but within days she shed nearly two pounds as her mother struggled to produce enough of her own milk.

“When I designed this product it was from a father’s point of view. We were forced to aid her feeding with a bottle and it became a lot of work,”

Tax filing help for older adults Free income tax preparation assistance for adult adults will be available in Kelowna on Mondays and Wednesdays until the end of April.

The sessions are being held at the Seniors Outreach & Resource Centre, 1022055 Benvoulin Crt., on Monday, noon to 3 p.m., and Wednesday, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The service is open to people 55 years and over with incomes below $30,000 for single people and $40,000 for couples, who are asked to come together to the session.

It’s drop-in so no appointment is necessary.

Tax returns cannot be completed if you have self-employed income, business or rental income and expenses, capital gains or losses, employment expenses or have filed for bankruptcy.

he said. “Olivia became confused and she wanted to latch on to whatever worked. We were firm believers in breastfeeding, but after six months she wouldn’t take the breast.”

That’s when he realized there was a huge need for a product that didn’t cause “nipple confusion.”

There are already countless products on the market that claim to help breast-feeding mothers both bottle feed and remain the primary feeder, but what they don’t have, said Markus, is a realistic feel and touch.

“Babies are sensory based—and this is a fulldomed bottle,” he said, adding it’s made of a silicone that when filled with milk warms and feels a lot like human skin.

“All the other bottles, they offer a nipple, but not a full breast. In that first 12 months that the baby is breast feeding, using a regular bottle will cause nipple confusion.

There is nothing like this out there. “ If any dad is going to know the full range of

bottles on the market, it might be Markus. He’s not just a concerned parent, he’s also the son to the manufacturer of the Adiri bottle. Another locally made bottle that can be found through multiple retailers.

“I have been in the market, and I watch the market and I know there’s a need for a product that will give a mom a choice when she can’t breastfeed,” he said.

“And now we have our next daughter on the way in two and a half months, and I’m working hard to make sure the product is ready.”

Although he’ll be before the Dragons at months end, there’s no guarantee that his pitch will make it past the cutting room floor.

The executive producer of the program, however, has said to Markus that she loved their “message and pitch” and they’ve been working together to see that it has legs.

Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave.

Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel.

Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used.

last year SunRype tapped into the larger profit margins of the alcohol industry and launched its Rider Cider, in conjunction with Big Surf Brewery. The two flavours in their portfolio have thus far been Valencia Orange and Apple Lime twist.

But on Thursday they released their first dry Apple Cider.

“We are happy with it,” said David Mcanerney.

President and CEO at Sun-Rype Products Ltd. “Apple was the trickiest one for us to formulate. We worked over year making lots of iterations and blends, and the goal was to make sure to come out with the best apple cider in the market.”

two “iconic Okanagan companies” taking on a new challenge does speak to a demand in the marketplace.

“It’s an exciting trend,” said Mcanerney.

“People are realizing that dry ciders are what they’re looking for. It’s a refreshing alternative to beer and dry ciders have less sugars.”

For SunRype it also signals a reinvestment in the brand.

“We’re a large apple processor, but lots of people were asking us for apple juice for their own ciders,” he said.

“We realized there’s a trend in that direction, and we’re recognizing we’re really good at flavour development.”

The partnership with Big Surf Beer also reinvigorates the brand as they’re now marketing to the active lifestyle set, who want to sit back after a strenuous activity and have a drink.

The two will be in competition, but Mcanerney doesn’t foresee a problem.

“I think it’s awesome,” he said. “Two iconic Okanagan companies are getting in this new exciting business. I’ve tried theirs. They’ve done a great job. It’s just a bit different.”

Regardless of whose cider is more popular,

Mcanerney’s friend Dave Anderson came up with, aligns with the sporting community.

“It started as a cycling brand, then Dave came up with the name and we jumped on it right away,” he said.

The cider is now available in stores.

••• In addition to the cider, SunRype is also getting geared up for its second annual Ride for Autism.

The Amazing Race style cycling event will start at Bottega in the first week of August, and take participants through selected wineries and Kelowna locations.

“It’s a timed event and at each stop participants complete a challenge, and get bonuses for buying bottles of wine,” said Mcanerney.

It’s a really fun event, Mcanerney added, but more importantly it raised funds for a charity close to his heart.

One in 40 boys are diagnosed with autism, he said, and there are few supports out there for those who are dealing with the disorder, which he’s learned from the struggles his nephew has faced.

With that in mind, the charity will aim to raise $100,000 for the Pacific Family Autism Family Foundation.

news _______________________________________________ CONSTABLE NEIL BRUCE

Fifty-year anniversary of RCMP death Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Today marks 50 years since Kelowna residents were frozen in terror, in the wake of the fatal shooting of a Mountie who had attempted to aid a teenage girl in harm’s way.

In a story titled, “Westbank in a State-ofSiege, Residents Told to ‘Stay Indoors,’” Kelowna’s daily newspaper cast light on a situation that clearly had the community on tenterhooks.

“Residents here locked themselves indoors today as heavily armed police, a helicopter and tracking dog combed dense brush for a lone rifleman who shot two people including a police man,” read a newspaper report of the day.

“At press time, officers had not located the suspect and were blockading Highway 97 in the vicinity of Powers Creek, a mile south of here.”

The details, reporters of the time said, were sketchy but they’d learned that a young boy encountered a 16-yearold girl with a suitcase in the area about 7 a.m.

April 10, 1965.

She told the boy she had been staying at a cabin in a deep canyon near the highway for three days with an older man.

She wanted to leave but the man refused to let her go. Police were called and the man shot Kelowna detachment Const. Neil Bruce in the chest as he approached the cabin.

“Then witnesses say the man shot the girl, formerly of the Lumby, area in the jaw and fled up the canyon from the highway,” it read.

Four days later, Bruce died in Kelowna General Hospital, leaving behind a young wife and two children under the age of two.

His killer, William Russell Spears, a known rapist, killed himself nine days later, when “trapped by police.”

The end came shortly after Mrs. Maynard Haskell, of Trepanier, 10 miles south of Kelowna— one of the many jittery residents in the area who followed the progress of the manhunt—saw a man run across a clearing,” read the daily, April 19, 1965.

Const. Neil Bruce

“The dog picked up the scent, went down through a ravine and flushed a man from a clump of trees and attacked him.

“Const. Hawkins, running up shoted ‘surrender or we’ll shoot.’”

The report then says

Spears turned the gun on himself and shot himself between the eyes.

The horrific series of events shook the community, and marked the only time a Kelowna RCMP officer was killed on the job.

Despite his violent end, Bruce has become known for being a kind man who dedicated himself to his profession and his community.

He’s known as a hero today, with a Westside Middle school bearing his name.

To honour the 50th anniversary of his passing, both regular and auxiliary members of the RCMP,

RCMP vets, students of Constable Neil Bruce Middle School, as well as friends and family of Bruce will be attending a ceremony at Glen Canyon Regional Park on April 14, at 10:30 a.m.

“The ceremony will be to honour him for making the ultimate sacrifice in

the line of duty,” said Cpl. Joe Duncan.

There will be a number of dignitaries attending the service, including the Commanding Officer of the RCMP in British Columbia, Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens. @kelownanewsKAT

Wasted time, idling vehicles make no sense at the dump To the editor: I am sure that Kelowna city councillors are far too busy to be doing their own yard work and hauling prunings to the landfill, so let me enlighten them.

LETTER OF THE WEEK anti-idling bylaw. So why is it, after spending over $5 million on a new building and scales for the landfill, does management refuse to staff to appropriate levels.

On April 6 I arrived at 1 p.m. to fit in as number 18 in line. Ahead of me were many commercial trucks including several of the contract vehicles that are

bringing in taxpayer-funded trash collections. All these vehicles are idling while waiting for the young scale and collection person who must weigh all the paying vehicles coming in and leaving as well as collect the fees.

Meanwhile, the second scale and booth sit empty except for the computer running 24/7 requiring an air conditioner to also run all day. I have never seen the second scale in operation.

When I left, the line stretched outside the landfill property and down John Hindle Drive.

So, while the city saves a bit on wages, hundreds of taxpayers must pay for fuel to idle while waiting 10 or more minutes. In my case, as I only bring yard waste, I must wait just to be told: “No charge, dump in area A.” Please, somebody do something or more illegal dumping will take place.

Okanagan splendor purges taxes from mind Last week at the grocery store, my friendly neighbourhood cashier was Kathartic complaining to the customer ahead of me about potential tax implications of building my town’s waterfront KATHY pathway beyond its current limits.

MICHAELS “Don’t you like the one we already have—wouldn’t more simply be better?” I asked, incredulously, when it was my turn.

“Sure, but I don’t want my taxes to go up for it,” she said. She was noticeably put-off by the idea and if she’d looked up from the register, she’d have noticed I was equally baffled.

Peachland is a peach of a town. It has one of the most delightfully active waterfronts in the Okanagan, and that’s impressive considering its population base is downright piddly.

On any given day once the sun rises above the valley hundreds of people walk along that pathway, with their pets, little people or on their own.

They’re happily and respectfully enjoying the real attributes of this valley. I know, because I see them as I walk my dogs and little people on the same route. Rarely do I find dog-doo rammed into the cement, or cigarette butts lining the space. There aren’t drunks meandering about, scantily clad, as is the case on some Okanagan waterfronts.

Or, if there are, they’re seriously outnumbered by those who are just padding along, smiling at each other, making eye contact and generally engaging with the rest of humanity, before they go off and engage in the local economy.

Not too far away from my Peachland path is Penticton’s KVR multi-use trail—another favourite.

When my two-year-old and I have our Sunday Fun-day event, we go for a walk, look at the sweeping expanse of lake in the distance and kick a ball along the trail. Then go for some tasty nosh at the Bench Market down the road.

Our entry point to that trail is a densely populated neighbourhood, and I sometimes think its residents would be annoyed by the parking that accumulates as people make their way to enjoy the amenity.

Then one of them pops out of their door, smiles and gets on with their day, which sometimes means the path as well, by bike or foot or whatever.

There are moments when the valley seems almost perfect, but you know what would make it even better? That same kind of pathway linking us to the North Okanagan. You know, like the rails and trails one that would take over the old CN line.

Now, I’m not a font of positivity when it comes to the Okanagan. Having lived in just about every city from Penticton to Vernon, I have a fair number of gripes. I took part in a post high school exodus.

I returned a decade later to be blocked from homeownership, because of a gap between my wages and the cost of living.

Fast forward another decade, and now I have my own little human and I worry about the opportunities that will be allotted to him, if my family stays put.

These dilemmas are all a part of living in the Okanagan. But so is engaging in the gorgeous scenery we’re blessed to be planted in, and these multi-use pathways are a key piece of that, making them well worth the relative pittance that would be tacked onto the tax roll to grow and improve the network of them, wherever they may be.

I know we’re taxed for everything in B.C. We even pay MSP while the vast majority of other Canadians don’t. That to me is worth storming the legislature about, but don’t block a chance to enjoy what makes this valley worthwhile.

Or, if you do, make sure you’ve done it fully knowing what you’re missing. Go out and try the paths I mentioned. Soak in the clean air, the smiles and the views, then tell me if taxes are still top of mind.

Selfish drivers oblivious to the obvious To the editor: Today I found myself with a suddenly broken down vehicle in the middle of the highway at the intersection of Berry Rd. Based on this experience, I would like to extend note of thanks and a gentle reminder to all. If you see someone who is stuck in the middle of the highway due to a breakdown please don’t focus on the personal inconvenience of having to drive around the person; please don’t yell, shake your fist (or finger), or screech your tires in irritation; please don’t even make an exaggerated

gesture to imply that the person is useless because their vehicle stopped working at a red light.

Instead, choose to be like the two very lovely men who actually stopped to help me (while about 75 others responded in the above fashion).

To the gentleman who pushed my vehicle across two lanes of traffic all by himself (and who also offered a few words of comfort to me in my frightened and rattled state) and to the older gentleman who then towed my vehicle and helped get it off the road and into

the Boys and Girls Club parking lot: Thank You! You helped with a very difficult situation and I am very, very grateful. I hope your generosity of spirit is returned to you.

To the rest of the commuters who did horrible things such as the above, please know that your actions only made a very stressful situation that much worse. In the future, I hope you can learn to be more like the gentlemen who showed me that chivalry isn’t completely lost.

Ineffective, because it will lead to catchall surveillance and information sharing on innocent Canadians because it permits violation of the freedom of rights now enshrined in our Charter rights (even Stephen Harper has admitted this is ineffective).

Dangerous, because your sensitive, private information could be examined and handed over to 17 government agencies without your knowledge; it could even be handed over to foreign governments.

This is the bill the government is trying to ram through in record time to avoid scrutiny by the people of Canada.

Do your part. Write to your newspapers, your MP, even to Stephen Harper himself.

Tell everyone to speak out against this bill, otherwise we will be saddled with it and take a large step forward to an autocratic state.

Do we really want a shadow, unaccountable police force with the power to utterly ignore our innocents’ freedoms?

Opposition to the bill has grown from 17 per cent to 50 per cent, and most people haven’t even examined the bill yet.

The government itself has already admitted the bill is fundamentally flawed. Therefore it should be withdrawn and completely reworked, from the ground up.

I encourage Canadians to learn more about how we can work together to stop Secret Police Bill C-51 at: StopC51.ca Trish Boileau, Kelowna

To the editor: When push comes to shove warmongering outlaw states need police state bills like C-51 (Canada) or the “Patriot Act” (US) to spy on and control the population.

Every time Harper sees a drunk and drugcrazed Uncle Sam swerving down the highway in his red, white and blue pickup with an M-16 in the gun rack and more guns and ammo spilling out the back, Harper sticks out his thumb to hitch a ride.

After all the years of mayhem and misery in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, back to Iraq, now Harper wants to join the US in bombing Syria.

Insane.

It is fair to ask: Who are the terrorists?

Who is creating more terrorists? Where do the terrorists get their means of destruction?

The plain fact is that despite vigorous propaganda efforts it is harder and harder to enlist public support for these constant illegal and immoral wars and people will speak out against them.

There we have the connection between on-going military madness and repressive legislation like bill C-51. Under the guise of “protection” we are to be put under surveillance and criminalized.

I understand there is an anti-C-51 day of action April 18 at Ben Lee Park starting at 10 a.m.

Mark Haley, Kelowna Peace Group

To the editor: Re: Amazon testing drone delivery in Canada: In today’s world of threatened ‘home grown terrorists,’ and the fact that there are many Canadians who not only share the ideology, but have slipped away to join ISIS, this despicable group of persons whose brutality and savagery, equates to or surpasses the level of the Nazis or Japanese during the Second World War, I was amazed that the “deep thinker” would allow Amazon to put a fleet of drones, into the air that are virtually invisible, untraceable, to go anywhere unseen, and without controls into B.C. airspace.

It would be impossible to separate these from another that could be carrying explosives, or biohazard material, into communities, government offices or public venues.

It’s almost as if the federal and provincial governments are co-existing in a different dimension that would allow this type of unfettered access, at the same time we are implementing Bill C-51 and ramping up our support for the military actions in the Middle East.

I totally support the Canadian position in the Middle East, and realize that appeasement has never, will never, be a solution to those who would threaten our very existence. Those who have embraced their philosophy and joined ISIS, have surrendered their right to be Canadian and all the rights that our military and their families have sacrificed, for all Canadians.

I realize I have covered two topics here, but only because they are inseparable.

Chuck Liebrock, Kelowna

C-51 strips us of our rights To the editor: Every Canadian should be outraged at this latest attack on our human rights and democracy by Stephen Harper and his Conservative government. American legislation following the 9/11 terrorist attacks parallels Bill C-51 as it stripped the basic human rights of Americans. The effect on two Canadians was devastating.

The FBI arrested Canadian Maher Arar at JFK airport on Sept. 26, 2002 as he was traveling from Tunisia to Montreal, returning from a holiday. After Bush labeled him an ”enemy combatant,” he was denied legal counsel, prevented from seeking help from the Canadian embassy, and in a process called “rendition” he was flown to Syria, at that time an American client state. He was imprisoned and tortured for 13 months before it was determined that he had no connection to terrorism and was set free.

Omar Kadr, another Canadian, was arrested in Afghanistan at the age of 15 and imprisoned at Guantanamo in Cuba for eight years without ever being charged

with a crime. He was tortured repeatedly, denied access to a lawyer, imprisoned with adults in a place where adult rape of children was rampant, and when he was finally given the right to appear before a military commission, in January of 2008, the UN Special Representative for Children in Armed Conflict was denied access to Kadr or to his farcical trial.

The UN attempted to have child soldiers like Kadr declared victims of war, rather than enemy combatants, but the American military ignored that attempt. At that military commission Kadr was given the choice of pleading guilty and spending another eight years behind bars or going back to Guantanamo and spending the rest of his life behind bars.

This is what we have to look forward to if Bill C-51 is adopted in Canada. This is a dangerous piece of legislation and is far more of a threat to our freedom than ISIS or alQaida ever was.

There is a new paradigm for progressive change upon us in the Okanagan.

Last week, I had the privilege of sharing with you a new communitybased partnership between the Scotiabank, Central Okanagan and the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society.

With some innovative networks on the near horizon, I began to ponder the new paradigm for progressive change that is upon us in the Okanagan— entrepreneurial partnerships.

Yes, it has been talked about, perceived in its existence, and even shouted from the rafters—but somehow we just haven’t quite reached that pinnacle of achievement to celebrate

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG we made it. Until now.

There has been a considerable effort in trying to understand the psychological and sociological underpinnings that entrepreneurship does indeed possess.

Common characteristics have been noted among all entrepreneurs—a need for achievement, perceived focus of control, risk taking and intuitive logical reasoning.

These participants also comment in the common yet not universal thread of childhood deprivation,

minority memberships and early adolescent economic experiences.

Chalk it up to the roller coaster ride we are experiencing in our Canadian and global economy, or perhaps, we, as a society, are finally, warming to the realization that, if we belief that, we are, by nature, an entrepreneurial landscape, then let’s celebrate that recognition with action.

Partnerships often chart unknown territory.

Different forms of organizations with different internal structures, mandates, purposes, values and decision-making procedures may meet in a common space, often for the first time.

When people of different backgrounds decide to work in partnership towards a shared objective, they need to identify and accept the necessary development of their communication skills in order to progress with attainment of the common goals.

For development of a multi-stakeholder partnership, the first phase is to understand thoroughly the context for success, to build a group of supporting, relevant organizations, the purpose and vision without structure.

Once the vision and commitment is clear, the second phase starts a more formalized dialogue, to clarify roles and structures and lay down agreements.

The third phase is giving attention to a smooth implementation and the celebration of success.

Finally, in the fourth phase the key to success is to manage the transition from the initial model of partnership towards a larger more substantial entity.

This sometimes requires new partners, governance structures or even a change of management of the process.

The entrepreneurial partnership creation can achieve untold community and regional gains, both personal and organizational. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

INTERIOR HEALTH

Taste of home for internship students When Allison Verigin and Heather Gregory completed their fourth year in UBC’s dietetics degree program, they knew exactly where they wanted to apply for their one-year internship.

“Interior Health was the first choice for both of us,” said Heather, as Allison nodded in agreement.

Both Allison and Heather were born and raised in the small community of Castlegar, situated in the southeast corner of B.C. They also graduated together from Stanley Humphries Secondary School before heading to Vancouver to enter into the dietetics degree program.

“We both still have family in Castlegar and on top of that we both still really enjoy what the B.C. Interior has to offer in terms of skiing, biking and all sorts of outdoor recreating,” said Allison.

“So, it was a really easy choice for us when we were asked where we

Kelowna General Hospital’s two dietetic interns Allison Verigin and Heather Gregory. wanted to apply for our internship.”

Interior Health (IH) partnered with the UBC Dietetics Faculty in 2007 to offer a complete internship program within the B.C. interior.

The internship combines school work with hands-on clinical experience.

It also pairs students with dietetic preceptors in different areas of practice

and provides them with short-term placements at facilities throughout IH. “We take two students here in Kelowna and two in Kamloops,” said Lisa Koski, professional practice lead dietitian and coordinator of the dietetic internship program in Kelowna.

“It’s a really great program from start to finish. The education of health professionals

adds value to the region as a whole and, more importantly, the clinicians working with the interns benefit from teaching and mentoring students: it’s a win-win!”

Lisa and her Kamloops counterpart, Dawn Benwell, say many dietetic interns are hired in the health authority where they complete their internship.

Recruitment and retention of staff is a big initiative across all of IH internship programs.

One of last year’s dietetic internship students, Haeli Draper, is now working in Kelowna for IH. She was offered employment upon completion of her internship and Allison and Heather hope to follow in her footsteps.

“We’d both like to stay and work in the area,” said Allison. “I think I’d like to stay in Kelowna and gain some experience and then one day look at returning to the West Kootenays.”

Heather agrees. She too would like to one day consider returning to a smaller community, not necessarily Castlegar, but possibly somewhere in the Kootenay region.

But for now, she wants to remain in Kelowna.

The two classmates have another four months left in their internship and are looking forward to the opportunities and experiences that await.

“So far, we’ve done placements at many different sites across IH,” said Allison. “I was in Grand Forks for a week.

It was nice to be so close to home and working in a professional capacity.”

Once their internships are complete, the two have one last challenge ahead. As a requirement, they must pass their Canadian Dietetic Registration Exam in B.C. to certify with the College of Dietitians of British Columbia.

That’s the final hurdle for the two of them, and then they’re both, hopefully, home-free.

Book continues to raise money for KGH children’s care unit What if helping out sick kids at Kelowna General Hospital were as easy as smiling for a camera?

It can be, thanks to a fundraiser spearheaded by Elizabeth Tremblay, owner of Aviva Studios.

Tremblay is currently working on her 4th edition of Children of the Okanagan. To date, she has raised more than $45 000 from this project .

Each page in the book features a different child, photographed

by Tremblay in an outdoor location in the Okanagan sometime since last August.

“I’m really excited to be working on this project again,” said Tremblay. “It’s a creative way I can contribute to the neo natal ward. Project donors will see beautiful pictures of their

children included in the book and the KGH Foundation will receive donations for each participant now, as well as revenue from the sale of the book later in the year.”

Tremblay’s inspiration for the project came after the birth of her daughter Lauren. When Lauren was born, she inhaled amniotic fluid which makes

breathing extremely difficult for newborns. It can result in death if not treated immediately. She and her family were grateful to the medical staff that saved Lauren’s life and want to make sure other families receive excellent care in the Okanagan. To obtain a copy of the book, call Liz Tremblay at 250-317-4395 or see avivaphotostudios.com.

‘When the forest fire hazard is this high, it doesn’t take much’ on days when open burning is allowed, such as Thursday, allowing the smoke to properly dissipate and not have an effect on air quality.

Broland admitted there is much more work that has to be done in the

HAZARD FROM A1 fires in dry areas.

“The entire boundary of West Kelowna, aside from lake-front, is located in an interface area,” said Broland.

“When the fire hazard is this high, it doesn’t take much.”

The $260,000 fuel management project is funded through the provincial government with West Kelowna and WFN kicking in some of its crews and equipment.

Westbank First Nation is running the project through one of its companies, the Ntityix Development Corporation, with a crew of between four and eight while West Kelowna paid-on-call firefighters are also on the crew.

The project includes removal of low lying tree-limbs and cleaning up of the forest floor, trying to eliminate the potential spread of a ground fire up into the trees, a situation crews in 2003 battled when the Okanagan Mountain Park

“It’s common in interface areas to have a lot of ladder fuels, where tree branches and limbs come close to the ground,” said Dave Gill, project manager for Ntityix Dev. Corp. “It wouldn’t take long for a fire to get from grass into

area’s dry forests.

“This is really a drop in the bucket but we have to start somewhere,” he said, adding there is more provincial funding that has become available that West Kelowna will apply for. “This is the best way

we have today to limit the impact of forest fires and to also make it easier to fight a fire if one breaks out.”

Broland urged the public to avoid throwing cigarette butts out their car window or starting

WHL PLAYOFFS

Forward line depth key in playoffs

whenderson@kelownacapnews

It’s little secret that the degree of success the Kelowna Rockets have this spring will depend largely on the production of top-line forwards Rourke Chartier, Leon Draisaitl, Nick Merkley and Tyson Baillie.

Still, there’s a lessheralded group of Rockets the club’s coaching staff regards as equally important when it comes to the playoff prosperity the team will ultimately enjoy.

The likes of physicallyinclined forwards Tyrell Goulbourne, Rodney Southam, Chance Braid and Riley Stadel may all play statistically less glamorous roles but are no less appreciated or relied upon by their coaches and teammates.

“Throughout the regular season Rod finished his checks, knew defensively what his role was and he always sticks

up for his teammates,” said Rockets’ assistant coach Kris Mallette.

You don’t see it too much on paper, but in that room those guys are loved by every one of their teammates.”

Kris Mallette, Rockets asst. coach “Chance, through his physicality, gave the rest of our forwards a lot more space in the first round. Riley, going back and forth from forward to defence, is a real spark plug for us, he’s got that on and off switch and will go through anything to be where he needs to be.”

And Mallette calls Goulbourne “Probably one of the quickest guys in the league who you expect to play a physical game and keep opponents off balance.”

WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

250-869-0700

Forward Rodney Southam (left) is among a handful of key role players for the Kelowna Rockets as they host Bryton Sayers and the Victoria Royals Friday in Game 1 of the WHL second-round series.

“All those guys those guys are unsung heroes,” Mallette added. “You

don’t see it too much on the paper, but in that room those guys are

loved by every one of their teammates.”

And not to omit

anyone from the conversation, Mallette said every forward who dresses for Kelowna on a nightly basis plays a vital role and has been a key contributor to the team’s success to date.

Sufficed to say, the ability to roll four lines is a luxury not all teams have, and is a particularly good tool the Rockets hope will work in their favour in the post-season. “(L.A. Kings) coach Darryl Sutter said if your fourth line can’t play six or seven minutes, you’re not going far in the playoffs,” said Mallette.

“That’s a true testament to our team in that those guys can play eight to 10 minutes, or even 12 to 14 depending on the situation.

“We are fortunate enough to have 12 regular players plus a couple of guys sitting in the stands who can play

any given night, so that’s the beauty of our team.”

The Rockets and Victoria Royals open the second round of the Western Hockey League playoffs Friday night at Prospera Place.

Game 2 goes Saturday in Kelowna.

THREE ROCKETS RANKED…

Centre Nick Merkley is the top-rated Rockets’ player in NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings released this week.

The 17-year-old Calgary native is ranked 23rd among North American skaters, making him a potential first-round pick in this summer’s NHL entry draft.

Defenceman Dante Stephens is ranked 116th, while fellow blueliner Joe Gatenby checks in at No. 174.

The 2015 NHL entry draft will be held June 26 and 27 in Sunrise, Fla.

Reddekopp on the rise with Victoria Royals

Warren Henderson

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

By calling his name in the opening round of the 2012 bantam draft, the Victoria Royals were projecting Chaz Reddekopp to become an important piece of the WHL team’s future.

In the three years since, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound defenceman from West Kelowna hasn’t disappointed.

Reddekopp, 18, has evolved into a top-four blueliner for the Royals, while also garnering his

share of attention from pro scouts.

In the latest Central Scouting report released this week, Reddekopp is ranked 82nd among North American skaters— up from 199th at

RXK1045

midterm—making him a potential third- to fourth-round pick in this summer’s NHL draft.

After a typically upand-down rookie season with the Royals, Reddekopp has come into his own as a sophomore WHL defenceman.

“He had a bit of an issue with consistency at first, but now he just keeps getting better every day,” said Royals assistant coach Enio Sacilotto.

“The progress he’s shown since November has been incredible. He’s a bigbodied player, a good kid

who works hard.

“He’s still young and he’s still learning,” added Sacilotto, “but we expect him to be a force to be reckoned with as a junior player and one day as a pro as well.”

Paired this season with captain Joe Hicketts, Reddekopp is logging plenty of ice time and is most often pitted against the opposition’s top lines.

For the former Pursuit of Excellence rearguard, it’s been a positive growth experience.

“After I got that first year under my belt and

got the chance to play more this season, I started gaining confidence and I feel like I’ve continued to improve,” Reddekopp said. “When (Royals defenceman) Keegan Kanzig was traded to Calgary, he was a huge part of our defensive corps, so that really gave me a big opportunity.

The coaches have shown trust in me and have really helped me.”

While Reddekopp first began attending Kelowna Rockets’ games shortly after moving to West Kelowna in Grade 4 he is,

not surprisingly, no longer a supportive fan of the WHL team.

At the same time, he couldn’t be more excited with the prospects of his Royals taking on the favoured Rockets in the second round of the playoffs.

“When you look back at the season series, most of the games I think were pretty close and hardfought,” he said. “We know how good they are, we’re expecting a lot from them, they played a very skilled game.

We just can’t take any

nights off against them and we know if we play every minutes, we give ourselves a good chance.

“I think it’ll be a great series, an entertaining series between two teams who don’t like each other.”

Reddekopp and the Royals face off against the Rockets in the Western Conference semifinal series Friday night at Prospera Place.

BASEBALL RETURNS

A’s launch season at home to Whalley Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

For the second year in a row, the Okanagan Athletics will enter the season with one of the smallest rosters in the B.C. Premier Baseball League.

And once again, the success of Evan Bailey’s A’s will hinge on a complete team effort, from top to bottom.

“On one hand it doesn’t give you a lot of room for things like injuries, but on the other hand a small roster like we have forces guys to become better players,” said Bailey, now in his sixth season as head coach. “All of them are going to play and all are going to have to be big contributors for us to have success. When you only have 15 or 16 players, every one of your

pitchers plays a position, too. So we’re going to need everybody.”

The Athletics raise the curtain on the 2015 PBL campaign this weekend at home to the Whalley Chiefs.

The teams will meet for a pair of doubleheaders Saturday and Sunday at Elks Stadium.

Okanagan returns nine players to the lineup this season, including pitchers Easton Forrest and Trevor Lofstrom, catcher Chase Decosse and outfielder Trevor Mlait.

However, an injury will

prevent Lofstrom from pitching this weekend, while Mlait, the team’s leadoff hitter, is injured and won’t be available for at least his team’s first four games.

“I told the guys we’re running on fumes right now, with 13 healthy guys we have to have everybody going,” Bailey said.

Still, as the A’s proved last year, a small or depleted roster doesn’t necessarily equal a losing team in distress.

In 2014, the Athletics “overachieved” in Bailey’s eyes, posting a 28-20 record and finishing in fourth place.

If his team can execute the same principles as last season, the head coach believes the A’s can have success again.

Boston to Big Sur: Two marathon challenge Warren Henderson

For most runners, competing in two marathons in one week is a task simply too daunting to contemplate.

Such is not the case for five Kelowna women who are not only planning to run in back-to-back races this month, but they’ll be doing so on opposite sides of the United States.

Liz Borrett, Astrid Varga, Sandy Wike, Charlotte Heidt and Becky Williams will all head to the start line at .the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 20.

Six days later, the Kelowna quintet will be 4,300 kilometres to the west in Carmel, California for the Big Sur Challenge.

The five have spent hundreds of hours together on the roads of Kelowna, often meeting at 6 a.m. twice a week for a 10 km run.

The oldest member of the group, Liz Borrett, is also the fastest of the five. Borrett has won her age category at both the Boston and New York Marathons.

While Borrett and Wike have each run twice in

Boston, Astrid Varga has been 13 times before, Charlotte Heidt has been once, while Becky Williams will be doing the run for the first time.

While all are seasoned marathoners, running two 42.2 km races in one week—and on opposite coasts—presents an entirely new and exciting challenge.

Sandy Wike, who has twice run in Boston, saw it as an opportunity too intriguing to pass up.

“It’s not an easy thing to orchestrate with the

qualifying and getting registered, but we thought let’s give it a shot. When all five of us got in we thought ‘Holy Cow, what have we done?’,” Wike said with a laugh. “But it’s a great opportunity. It’s a little

scary, too, but we’re all pretty excited.”

As for what to expect from the rest of the

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking?

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant.

It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation!

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The new Audéo V devices ensure considerably clearer reproduction of spoken language in company.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that is designed to restore speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system

by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted.

Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds.

According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

Legal aftermath of rear-ender accident case Revive broken household items A court decision released at the beginning of April recounts the aftermath of one of the most common of motor vehicle collisions: the rearender. On Aug. 10, 2011, a young man was stopped at a stop light when some bonehead crashed into the back of his car. The damage to the young man’s car was assessed at about$14,500. The damage to the young man, referred to as the “plaintiff� in the court decision, was the issue in the trial that spanned almost two weeks.

The plaintiff developed chronic pain and depression. He tried, but failed to return to his work in the hotel maintenance industry and was not working at the time of the trial. He sought fair financial compensation on the basis that his condition

Achieving Justice

PAUL HERGOTT was unlikely to improve.

The case was defended by the offending driver’s insurance company.

One line of defence was to “blame the victim� for not doing enough to get better. In legal terms, this is referred to as a “failure to mitigate� his losses.

The law was clearly outlined by the judge who noted the plaintiff’s obligation “to take all reasonable measures to reduce his or her loss, including undergoing treatment to alleviate or cure injuries.�

The judge also noted that to succeed in this defence, “the defendant must prove that the

plaintiff acted unreasonably and that reasonable conduct would have reduced or eliminated the loss.�

The defence argued that while the plaintiff had undergone some psychological counselling, he had not undergone enough.

This “blame the victim� defence failed with the judge finding that the plaintiff could not be faulted in how he attempted to deal with his pain.

That wasn’t the end of the matter, though. The judge did find that further care, largely psychological, would do a lot of good. The judge accepted the optimistic prediction that with further rehabilitation, “the plaintiff will largely return to his pre-Accident level of functioning.�

The further rehabilitation included attendance at a residential multidisciplinary pain clinic and a course of psychological therapy.

The defence managed to avoid compensating the plaintiff for a future of chronic pain and disability with what I refer to as the “magic pill defence.�

Even though it had been three and a half years since the crash, with the plaintiff continuing to suffer from chronic pain and depression, the “magic pill� of some further treatment would fix him.

Perhaps the optimistic prediction will come to pass and the approximately $260,000 of compensated assessed by the judge will turn out to be fair. As with all predictions, though, perhaps not and it will turn out that this plaintiff was grossly

undercompensated. This is the problem of coming to court before all possible care has been fully explored and attempted. The judge is left to, essentially, gaze within a crystal ball to predict the future.

One of the most critical functions of a personal injury lawyer, in my view, is to ensure that all possible treatment options have been identified and fully attempted so as to eliminate, as much as possible, the crystal ball gazing that is otherwise necessary to predict the future. After all, care has been attempted, so the “proof is in the pudding� as to how successful it is.

Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Do you have a household item in need of repair, don’t want to toss it out, but you’re not sure how to go about fixing it? Toaster that just won’t toast? A lamp on the fritz? The old bicycle sitting neglected with a flat?  Then the Repair CafĂŠ could be just the event you’re looking for. Organized by the Regional Waste Reduction Office, the Repair CafĂŠ takes place Saturday, April 18, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Okanagan College campus Center for Learning. “Most often, when you get an item repaired, it’s a drop off, pick up process, and you’re not part of the repair work or the solution, you don’t get to see how it’s done,â€? said waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart. “At the Repair CafĂŠ, people are the process, and the free repair of items engages everyone participating.â€? “The sad truth is many household items have become cheaper to replace than repair, and the list of companies that refurbish items or fix broken appliances is short. Repair Cafes enlist 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 fix-it society.â€?

Stewart says most of our fixers are simply hobbyists who enjoy helping others and want to keep items out of the landfill. “They’re all volunteering their time.

They vary in age and background, just like those that come with broken items to be fixed.�

Paul Winkler was never one to easily tear up, but his emotions got the better of him when he was forced to leave Kelowna more than a decade ago.

Blackballed in the newspaper industry, with no opportunity to carry on his career as a newspaper publisher, Winkler and his wife and four kids left town.

And they were continually asking themselves the singular question, why did this have to happen?

Today, Winkler is retired in Ontario with his wife Mary Lynn and their four kids have all grown up, but the scars of blowing the whistle on the corporate fraud shenanigans of David Radler and Conrad Black will likely never go away.

But writing their new book, A Costly Stand, has proven cathartic for Mary Lynn, who wrote the book, after having

to leave Kelowna while asking the same question without getting a satisfactory answer: Why did this have to happen?

But has her husband is quick to point out, it all comes down to corporate greed and his determination to not abandon what he felt was the right thing to do against considerable opposition.

Winkler’s battle with the then international media giant Hollinger International, the media enterprise once headed

by CEO Conrad Black and president David Radler began here in Kelowna.

When he and Mary Lynn arrived in Kelowna back pin the late 1990s, Winkler had already spent 20 years in the newspaper business. He arrived here to become the area group publisher for the Capital News and a number of smaller outlying area newspapers, then owned

by Lower Mainland Publishing Ltd. He worked to begin evolving the Capital News

into a more profitable venture, taking it from a break-even point to making millions in profit, and making significant advertising market share inroads against The Daily Courier.

He was very bullish on the future promise for the Cap News, feeling the Courier was on the decline, and he had the positive feedback from advertisers and Angus Reid marketing surveys to back it up.

But then things changed. The Courier was bought by a company called Horizon and soon Winkler was being told by his bosses to lay off the competition. He was dumbfounded by that direction at first, then soon became aware that his Hollinger bosses, Radler and Black also privately owned Horizon.

Winkler was outraged by being asked to consciously downgrade the Capital News and refused to go along with any such tactic.

At the time there

had been ongoing discussion about Winkler heading up the LMPL operations in B.C., a big promotion, but that job offer disappeared, as he was fired by Radler in November 1999 for refusing to participate in what he viewed as a violation of the competition laws in Canada.

Winkler wanted to exposes his bosses. He called the media but no one was interested, such was the tangled web of control that Radler and Black held over the media industry at that time.

Nobody would touch the story.

So Winkler sued, filing a lawsuit in Kelowna against Hollinger for breach of contract demanding one year of severance pay. He wanted it exposed what had happened to him and that was the only way he could do it.

The trial eventually reached the courts in 2002, Winkler emerged victorious, winning his

case, the first legal bullet that ultimately would lead to the shredding of the reputations of both Radler and Black after fraud charges against them were filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in Chicago.

In 2005, Radler was charged with mail and wire fraud and sentenced to 29 months in prison.

In 2007, Black was sentenced to six and half years in prison for mail fraud and obstruction of justice. Radler would be the star witness for the prosecution in the case against Black.

Even in that moment,

Winkler’s intent to be a witness for the prosecution, to tell his story on the stand in a high profile court case was taken away when Radler agreed to testify against Black.

“I had been prepped to be a witness but that all came to a halt when Radler made his deal to testify. They didn’t need me anymore because they had him,” Winkler said.

Today, Winkler is back in Kelowna with Mary Lynn to visit old friends and do some stumping for the new book.

He will speak to several local Rotary Clubs during

The couple are looking on a brighter upside to their lives these days and they hope the book can be helpful to boost the spirits of others facing tough times or difficult moral decisions in their workplace.

“Sometimes adversity makes you stronger and we are an example of that,” said Mary Lynn.

MayanToltec ruins at Mexico’s Chichen Itza

The central feature of Chichen Itza is the Temple of Kukulkan (left), also known as El Castillo or the Castle. It is a four-sided pyramid that depicts the Mayan calendar.

The Wall of Skulls (detail below) is a stone platform that exalts death. It has images of armed warriors and eagles devouring human hearts.

The Temple of the Warriors (bottom of page) is flanked by the Thousand Columns.

Chichen Itza, on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, is dominated by gray limestone that was cut by hand and moved without any wheels.

Once home to 30,000 people, Chichen Itza was the last major city developed by the Mayans and was certainly one of Mexico’s grandest cities for nine centuries. It was a political, economic and religious centre.

It covered six square miles with 30 major buildings including several temples that have been uncovered and restored. Others still lie buried in the jungle-forest.

Chichen Itza features columns, bas-reliefs, sculptures, stone murals, pictographs, monuments, statues and warrior images. It is a visually stunning, must-see ancient city, one of the world’s greatest archaeological mysteries, especially for its end.

Chichen Itza, about 2{ hours from Cancun, has been named one of the Seven New Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The property is owned by the Mexican federal government and managed by the National Institute of Anthropology and History. There is a first-rate visitor center and museum at the entrance.

The sprawling ruins are very impressive with numerous architectural styles and features. Stillburied ceremonial and residential complexes surround the central core of what was one of the largest preColumbian cities.

The older ruins lie to the south.

The newer and grander ruins are to the north. The buildings are very sophisticated and artistic.

The most recognizable structure is the Temple of Kukulkan, also known as El Castillo, or the Castle. That

name came from the Spanish.

It is a four-sided pyramid that is really a calendar made of stone honoring the feathered serpent deity. The seven-story step pyramid demonstrates the accuracy and importance of Mayan astronomy.

It dominates the main open-air esplanade at Chichen Itza, encircled by other important buildings.

The plaza is generally filled with groups of tourists and guides.

The temple is only 79 feet high, but it appears much taller because the side panels get smaller as they slope up the platform atop the pyramid.

It is 190 feet on each side and there are steps on all four sides.

The temple has 365 steps, one for each day of the year. Each of the temple’s four sides has 91 steps and the top platform makes the 365th step.

It also features 52 carved panels and 18 terraces, the number of weeks and months in a Mayan calendar year.

In the past, visitors could ascend

the steps of the temple, but it is offlimits today.

Twice a year, on the spring and autumn equinoxes, a shadow falls on the pyramid in the shape of a serpent.

As the sun sets, this shadowy snake descends the steps to eventually align with a stone serpent head at the base of the great staircase.

Clappers are everywhere at the base of the pyramid.

People stand in front of the pyramid and repeatedly clap their hands to produce slight pinging echoes from the stone walls.

Not far from the temple is another of Chichen Itza’s other great buildings: the I-shaped Great Ball Court, the largest bloodsport stadium built in the

Americas. It also features some of the most ornate carvings, structures and inscriptions.

Ball courts to play soccerlike pokta-pok were common in Mayan culture and about a dozen small ones have been found in Chichen Itza, but this one is the largest. It is bigger than a football field, 554 feet long and 231 feet wide. The walls are 27 feet high on the two sides.

By its size, some believe that the Great Ball Court was more about pageant than sport. The game was a sacred event, a religious ritual and was used to settle wars and disputes.

It reveals a much deeper significance in Mayan tradition and mythology.

Gambling on the games was widespread.

During games, players tried to hit a hard rubber ball through stone scoring hoops set 22 feet high on the court walls. The stone hoops feature intertwined feathered serpents.

Players would use no hands or feet.

Hips, heads, shoulders, chests, elbows and legs were used.

Games would last two to three days. There are no written records but pictographs show participants being decapitated at the conclusion of the games. Some say the winners lost their heads and became gods. Others say it was the losers.

The Great Ball Court is the largest blood-sport stadium in the Americas. The walls are 26 feet high. The field is 554 feet long and 231 feet wide. It is flanked by temples and saw some players decapitated.

CHICHEN ITZA FROM A26

Nearby is the grim Tzompantli or the Wall of Skulls with images of armed warriors and eagles devouring human hearts. Some believe captives were sacrificed on the stone platform with their heads left on display. It is, some say, a votive building to exalt death. The stone platform is 50 yards long by 13 yards wide.

The east side of the Great Plaza is dominated by the Temple of the Warriors and the Thousand Columns.

The main building, constructed atop earlier buildings, has four stepped sections and its friezes are decorated with carved reliefs. The temple is famous for its hundreds of elaborate columns and is still covered in carvings of dramatic featherbedecked warriors, 2,211 men marching in a procession toward the temple. They are bearing weapons and some have suffered wounds.

All are different. Some are prisoners; some are wizards.

The Mayans’ astronomical skills were so advanced that they could predict solar eclipses, and they built the impressive and sophisticated Observatory or El Caracol (the Snail) with its circular stairway.

The Caracol featured small loopholes that faced key astronomical events in the night sky. Venus was known as Chak Ek or the

Great Star. It guided many Mayan activities including war.

The major buildings at Chichen Itza lie off 80 limestone-paved causeways, lined today with merchants selling colorful blankets and clothes, onyx chess sets, wooden carvings and clay Mayan masks. “Just $1” is the message from those peddling items. They number in the hundreds.

Man-made jaguar calls also abound as merchants use ceramic kazoos to attract buyers.

Chichen Itza relied on a series of sinkhole wells for drinking water. The Sagrado Cenote with its steep walls is about 195 feet in diameter. It is a 72foot drop to the greenish sacred water that’s about 40 feet deep.

This is where the Mayans performed human sacrifices to please Chaac, the rain

deity. Archaeologists have found the bones and artifacts of victims who died in the cenotes.

The Sagrado Cenote is one of two major cenotes to serve Chichen Itza, whose name means “at the mouth of the well of the Itza.”

Chichen Itza has a complex history. Work on the massive settlement began about A.D. 435455 by the Mayan Itza people from the island of Cozumel.

They occupied the original Chichen Itza for about 200 years. It controlled the local trade in salt and was tied to trading routes. In 692, they abandoned the site and moved south into the rain forest.

About 998, their descendants returned to Chichen Itza to restore its glory. It became part of the powerful League of Mayapan. The

city also shows Toltec influences from central Mexico. It was destroyed by a civil war in 1204.

Two hundred years later, Chichen Itza was abandoned to the jungle.

The Mayans-Toltecs left behind no record as to why they abandoned their city.

Scientists have speculated that deforestation was involved as forests were cleared to burn the limestone to create stucco. Droughts, exhausted soils and royal quests may have contributed to Chichen Itza’s downfall.

It was run by a confederacy of powerful families, not the kings that ruled other Mayan cities.

The first excavation at Chichen Itza took place in 1841.

Most visitors spend two to four hours at Chichen

KINSMEN CLUB

CONTRIBUTED

Banquet to celebrate charitable group’s 71 years of service to Kelowna

The Cooperators insurance agency in Kelowna presented the United Way CSO with a corporate donation of $500 which will count towards the 2015 Central Okanagan community fund. The Cooperators recently won the 2014 community achievement award for their district. As part of the award, the firm was able to donate $500 to a local charity or a non-profit of their choice. In the photo are (from left) Evelyn Enns/associate insurance advisor; Shelley Gilmore/UW CSO; and Dennis MacLeod/ owner.

A banquet to celebrate 71 years of service by the Kinsmen Club to Kelowna is set for Saturday, April 18, at Manteo Resort in the Mission.

With the start of this ‘Kin’ year, the members recently made an historic decision to open up its membership to become a “co-ed club” and welcome women and couples to join.

The banquet will feature a presentation of old photos and displays of memorabilia, from throughout the decades.

Beginning with cocktails at 6 p.m. and a plated dinner at 7 p.m., the evening will also feature a notable guest speaker.

Tickets are $55/person and are available by contacting Vabe Sood

at sood_vaibhav88@ hotmail.ca or by phoning 778-215-3399.

Anyone who has been involved with the Kinsmen Club (or Kinettes or K-40s including surviving spouses) anytime in the past are invited to attend, as well as current or past members of Kin Canada.

The club also extends an invitation to any

community group or individuals who may have been the recipient(s) of community donations or individual donations in the past.

In early Kelowna, the Kelowna Kinsmen were a very big driving force in the support of building many community amenities and helping community groups.

Many of Kelowna’s movers and shakers in the city’s formative years were proud members of the Kelowna Kinsmen Club.

On a national level, Kin Canada is celebrating 95 years of community service across our country.

Since being founded in 1920, Kin Canada clubs have donated more than $1 billion to Canadian causes, communities and individuals in need, as well as to disaster relief efforts beyond our borders.

For the Kelowna Kinsmen Club, its mission is to “better the quality of life in the community of Kelowna through the promotion and sponsorship of sports and recreational activities and facilities for all individuals.”

Some of the major Kinsmen-supported projects you might recognize around the city include: • Kinsmen Beach at Abbott Street and Wardlaw • Kinsmen Media Centre and FieldHouse at the Mission Sports fields • Spearheading the initial fundraising for the Parkinson Recreation Centre • Numerous kids playgrounds including the Kin Kid’s Playland and planned ball diamonds and playground at the Mission Sports fields.

It’s the end of June, school is out and the kids are ecstatic. You may be a bit overwhelmed not knowing how you are going to entertain your children for the entire summer…...

One of the biggest issues about summer is that parents tend to have too much to do and kids don’t have enough to do. Some kids are happy about that. It means they can pick what they want to do, while other kids quickly get bored.

Find a balance between fun and learning. Kids start the summer with enthusiasm for fun—and for a break from school. Consider letting them have some downtime before they start summer activities. Then create ways to take a break—and to learn (in fun ways).

Plan to keep your teeth–before and after retirement British Columbians are keeping their teeth longer. Most adults can expect to enter retirement with most, if not all, of their natural teeth.

However, regular brushing and flossing alone, even with an electric toothbrush, does not guarantee that you’ll still be eating apples at 90. Continuing to visit your dentist regularly for professional care after retirement is just as important to keeping your teeth well into old age.

Your mouth ages too. Even the most scrupulously clean mouth will likely end up with some form of gum recession (when your gums shrink and more of your tooth’s root is exposed and

vulnerable to cavities) or dental disease.

For example, 43 percent of adults 60–79 years of age have root cavities compared to 6 percent of adults 20–39 years of age.1 Dental conditions are often extensive in older adults and can cause pain, infection and tooth loss. The number of adults without any teeth rises from 4 percent among 40–59-year-olds to 22 percent among 60–79-year-olds.1 Studies also show that BC adults have a higher combined rate of decayed (cavities), missing and filled teeth.2 Losing your natural teeth can affect your nutrition and enjoyment of a variety of foods; lead to slurred speech;

and reduce self-esteem. Dental disease can also negatively impact your general health; there are links between poor oral health and other health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Adults over the age of 60 also have the highest incidence of oral cancer; other risk factors include a high consumption of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined.3 Oral cancers can be devastating but are very treatable if caught early; it is estimated that approximately 84 percent of oral cancers can be detected by a dentist.4 With planning and ongoing prevention, a 60-year-old can retain their vitality and their teeth for a long time.

Steps to oral health…for life Keep your teeth, gums and dental work clean & maintained.

Brush daily, especially at bedtime, with a soft toothbrush or electric toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Please floss!

Make sure you floss at least once a day, especially around dental work like crowns.

Speak to your dentist about any special care for your dental work. Your teeth, gums and jaw bones change with age. You may require some repeat procedures or need to have your dental work repaired or replaced well before you are in advanced age.

Keep up your regular dental exams and cleaning schedule— even after you retire from work.

Plan ahead for all your extended health care needs, including dental care.

Consider investing in a private or group plan when you retire, or put aside savings to cover regular preventive care including dental exams and cleanings.

Early detection of oral disease through regular examinations by a dentist can help to stop or slow the progression of oral disease and lead to better outcomes. Your dentist will monitor the health of your soft tissues and teeth; screen for oral cancer; review any general health concerns; and monitor the ongoing fit and function of your dental work.

Keep it healthy. What’s good for your body is good for your mouth!

Limit the amount of sugary foods and drinks you consume throughout the day. Choose nutritious snacks and drinks, such as cheese or nuts, and water. Rinse with water after eating or drinking.

Keep your dentist or certified specialist up to date.

YOUR DENTAL WORK NEEDS ONGOING MAINTENANCE TO STAY IN GOOD SHAPE. Dental work doesn’t last forever. Even with regular brushing and normal wear and tear. Make professional dental care part of your plan to stay healthy as you age. Regular dental exams detect problems early and prevent dental disease.

To learn more talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca

Your dentist or certified specialist is the doctor of your mouth. Update them on any medications you are taking and/or changes to your health. Many chronic diseases directly affect your teeth, bones and soft oral tissues. For example, some medications can create ‘dry mouth’ which can increase your risk of decay.

Stay active, stay connected, eat a healthy diet, take care of your teeth— and don’t forget about your extended health care needs! Your healthy smile can stay with you…for life.

For more information on caring for your oral health at any age, talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca

This electric vehicle a gas to drive The Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell EV is a loud vehicle, though not in the way you might expect. In fact, when it comes to driving it, it’s as quiet as they get on the inside and out.

But it speaks loudly of how future propulsion of our vehicles is evolving.

This particular Tucson is powered by compressed hydrogen gas.

The concept of fuel cell EVs isn’t new. They’ve been around for years but Hyundai is the first automotive company to make hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles available to the Canadian public and it’s right here at

the coast.

Living with one of these vehicles is pleasantly underwhelming. If you’re expecting it to be an otherworldly experience, you’ll be disappointed. I think that’s part of why I liked it so much.

It’s an electric vehicle to the core but the way that

Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell EV. power is produced isn’t like any other EVs available to the public. Here’s a little bit of tech talk about how it works.

Hyundai literature says, “The Hyundai Tucson FCEV

CONTRIBUTED

stores hydrogen gas (140L capacity) and draws an inflow of air to the fuel cell stack. There is no combustion of hydrogen and the stack has no moving parts.

The electrochemical process

of combining oxygen and hydrogen in the fuel cell stack creates electricity to power the vehicle’s electric motor and charge an onboard battery. The only by-product of the process is pure water vapour, resulting in zero greenhouse-gas emissions.”

Acceleration is decent (0100km/h in 12.5 seconds) thanks to its 221 lb-ft of torque.

And its 134 horsepower isn’t anything to scoff at, especially for urban driving.

Luxury, power, performance at a bargain price Hyundai Genesis is a large premium, five-seat sedan that offers upscale interior sumptuousness and top-end features for an unbeatable price, when new.

The premium sedan segment, however, has proven to be a challenge for a blue-collar tied Hyundai brand. On the plus side, this generally makes a previously owned and homeless Genesis an even better bargain.

The introduction of Genesis, in 2009, was targeted at vehicles like the BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

It matches its prestige competition in terms of size, luxury features, amenities and performance.

The external dimensions of Genesis are actually a little larger than a BMW 5 Series.

Drive goes to its rear road wheels and the ‘09 was offered with a choice of V6 or V8 engines. The base engine is a 290-horsepower 3.8-litre (Lambda) V6 and city/highway fuel economy is rated at 12.9 / 8.6 L/100 km respectively, using the new 5-cycle rating method.

The V8 was a first for Hyundai and its 4.6-litre Tau series engine features dual overhead camshafts, producing 375 horsepower

(on premium fuel). It also

delivers decent fuel economy, considering its size and output, and is rated at 14.2/9.6 L/100 km (city/ highway), using the new 5-cycle rating method. A Genesis can get from zero to 100 km/h in a little more than six seconds, with this engine under hood.

Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift mode. The front and rear suspensions are sophisticated five-point multi-link systems with coil springs.

optional Lexicon 7.1 surround sound audio system is a 528-watt, 17-speaker system and the Rolls Royce Phantom was the only other vehicle with this system. Ironically, according to Consumer Reports owner survey ratings, the audio

system has been the most troublesome component in a Genesis.

A power sunroof and Bluetooth hands-free phone features were added as standard equipment for the 2010 model year. An optional Technology Package

was also enhanced with smart cruise control, an electric parking brake and auto-dimming mirrors.

The 4.6-litre V8’s power output and fuel economy of were improved for 2011, with horsepower going up to from 375 to 385. Major

powertrain changes came in 2012. The base 3.8-litre V6 got GDI (gasoline direct injection), which raised available horsepower from 290 to 333. An all-new direct-injection 5.0-litre V8 also replaced the 4.6-litre V8 in a new trim designation for Genesis called R-Spec. Both engines came with a new 8-speed automatic transmission.

The 2012 Genesis also came with some styling revisions, which included a new grille and front fascia and new headlights with LED daytime running lights.

No significant changes followed for the 2013 or the 2014 model year editions of Genesis.

Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch.

2009 – 2011: A diode in the stop lamp circuit could fail, which could result in the brake lights failing to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. Dealers will repair the stop lamp switch circuit.

2009 – 2012: Corrosion could occur in the brake system Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit. Over time, this could affect the control unit’s operation, causing a low/soft brake pedal and reduced braking effectiveness. Dealers will perform necessary repairs.

On a full tank, you can get upwards of 420 kilometres, which, considering the fuel cell EVs I’ve driven in the past had maxed out at 200 km, is pretty fantastic.

Then there’s the question of, where do you fill up?

Those who are considering

applying to lease a Hyundai Tucson FCEV (more on that later) need to keep in mind that there’s only one fuelling station.

The automaker partnered with BC Hydro’s Powertech facility in Surrey to accommodate drivers.

You also need to consider that you have to fuel during business hours 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday to Friday.

I should point out that this type of vehicle isn’t for everyone so one might

ask what the point is then.

In my opinion, it’s about offering customers an alternative to fossil fuels.

Sure, there are some hoops to jump through at the moment but that doesn’t mean the infrastructure and vehicles themselves won’t evolve.

The Tucson FCEV is highly refined. It drives with a smooth disposition, has room for five inside, and is a charming crossover.

Helen Gorman Elementary “Learning, Together”

Musical Field Trip!

The HGE choir was able to perform for the public during Education Week at the Rotary Center for the Arts this past March.

In addition, a group of twenty grade five and six students performed small group, duet and solo selections on the recorder.

These twenty students successfully auditioned for this opportunity to represent their school at this performance! Forty dedicated choir students, ranging from kindergarten to grade five, meet weekly for lunch hour practices at our school.

The choir performs at various seniors care homes during the year as well as at school assemblies. We are so proud to nurture the amazing musical talents of our students!

Home is Best Helen Gorman Library - 8 imaginative grade one students from Mrs. Henry’s class recently published stories with a “home is best” theme. Under the guidance of their teacher librarian, Mrs. Lafrance along with help and encouragement of CEA Mrs. Gillman, students learned that authors often use patterns and lessons to tell their story. Students planned, drafted, wrote and illustrated “circle” stories in which the main character discovers that their home is indeed the perfect place to live.

Community Connection April 2015

The Grandma Test

Heath and Career Education: Just about every hand went up when School Liaison Constable Sherri Lund asked groups of HGE intermediate students if they owned a digital device before beginning her presentation on Internet safety.

Students learned that although social media has many benefits it is important to understand its negative effects and be aware of ways to protect personal privacy.

Constable Lund enthralled her audience with first hand stories of the dangers and consequences when young people are not mindful when using the internet.

Lund asked students to consider: “You wouldn’t leave your door unlocked and

allow people you don’t know into your own home. So why would you do it on line?” Helping kids acquire safe internet habits is Constable Lund’s passion. She also explained how all online interactions must be respectful in order to ensure positive communication and prevent cyber bullying.

Constable Lund’s final advice to the students: “Don’t post anything you wouldn’t want your grandma to read or see!”

Social Justice We Bake For Change

On Thursday, March 12th the Social Justice team at Helen Gorman Elementary came together to bake goodies to raise money for Free the Children.

At lunch, students could come purchase their sweets ranging from 1-2 dollars. The sale featured a great selection of baking, including cookies, cinnamon bars and nanimo bars.

There was even a gluten free zone! Amazingly, we were able to raise $283.30 in only one lunch hour! The money raised will be going to Free the Children, and will help to support families in communities around the world get the needed resources for a strong and better future. ~Social Justice Team

Number 15,000 inspiration for new art exhibit

For Whom You Build, an art exhibit by artist Mitch Mitchell of 15,000 handmade silkscreened paper boxes.

ART EXHIBIT Mitch Mitchell April 11 to June 28 Kelowna Art Gallery 1315 Water St. When was the last time you counted to 15,000?

Or even tried to imagine 15,000 of something?

Would you be curious to see what a group of 15,000 silk-screened handmade paper boxes might look like?

Okanagan audiences will have the chance to see this for themselves in a solo show by Canadian artist Mitch Mitchell. For Whom You Build will be on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery from April 11 to June 28.

Mitchell is intent on pushing the boundaries of traditional printmaking, both conceptually and physically.

The artist’s new exhibition comprises 15,000 small individually folded paper boxes. Each box has been printed using a silkscreen process in various colours and patterns which creates a remarkable effect when piled together in the middle of the gallery space.

The completed installation is about the size of a small car. For Whom You Build is a tribute to the artist’s grandfather.

Mitchell is currently an assistant professor teaching printmaking at Concordia University in Montreal.

Mitchell was the prizewinner in the 2012 incarnation of the Okanagan Printmaking Triennial, a collaborative project of the Kelowna Art Gallery, the UBCO, and the Vernon Public Art Gallery.

As prizewinner, he was awarded a solo exhibition at the Kelowna Art Gallery this spring, in conjunction with this year’s OPT exhibition at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, currently on view through May 21.

An opening reception to celebrate this exhibition will be held on tonight (Friday), from 7 to 9 pm, at the Kelowna Art Gallery.

THEATRE The Adamms Family April 10 -25 Kelowna Actors Studio 1379 Ellis St. Kelowna Randy Leslie and Lyndsey Wong star in this musical comedy that brings the beloved and bizarre first family to life, complete with show-stopping musical numbers, elaborate sets and costumes.

From the creators of The Jersey Boys, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and Drama Desk Awardwinning composer/ lyricist Andrew Lippa, the frightfully delightful world of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Wednesday, Pugsley and Lurch come to life.

After recently performing Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and Albin/Zaza in La Cages Aux Folles, award winning artistic managing director, Randy Leslie returns to the Kelowna Actors Studio stage to play Gomez.

Morticia will be played by Lyndsey Wong who portrayed Madame Thenardier in

Les Miserables, Marta in Stephen Sondheim’s Company, and as numerous roles in ShrekThe Musical.

Appearing as the parents of Wednesday’s love interest, Mal and Alice Beineke, are Casey Easton and Delphine Litke.

Easton recently appeared as Fagin in Oliver, and Smudge in KAS’ recent successful run of Forever Plaid.

Marisa Piattelli plays Wednesday Addams.

Her past credits include numerous musicals as well appearing as Zaneeta Shinn in Music Man. She is currently preparing for the role of Ariel in the Performance Troupe’s Footloose.

The fantastically funny Ron Green will take on the role of the incorrigible Uncle Fester. Green has appeared on the KAS stage numerous times, including Oliver, Music Man, La Cages Aux Folles, and My Fair Lady.

Audience favourite Mac Mackay is Wednesday’s love interest Lucas Beineke while Janet Sorestad is the cynical Grandma.

Recently seen as Mr. Bumble in Oliver, newcomer Neil Johnson portrays the shambling, gloomy Lurch.

Director and executive producer for the production of the The Addams Family is Nathan Flavel, joined by assistant director Margaret Gobie.

The showtimes are Wednesday to Sunday, 8 p.m. (dinner at 6 p.m.).

Saturday matinees will be at 1 p.m.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.and tickets are $10, available at Bumbershoot Theatre.

DoorStep Sound was created to provide affordable, great quality all age concert of local, original musicians of all genres.

The goal is to expand the music community in Kelowna by creating an all-age venue to help inspire the next generation of musicians and music enthusiasts.

CONCERT Okanagan Symphony Orchestra Saturday, April 11 8 p.m.

Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra will be joined by the 60-member Okanagan Symphony Chorus along

with three guest soloists: Siobhan Raupach, soprano, and Randall Jokobsh, bass, both originally from Vernon, and Isaiah Bell, tenor from Victoria.

Creation is widely regarded as Haydn’s masterpiece. Based on texts from the Book of Genesis and Milton’s Paradise Lost, this glorious score depicts the formless void, the starry firmament and the multitude of creation.

This beautiful, inspiring music is sung in German with projected English subtitles.

“The Creation has glorious music that alternates between the soloists (representing angels, Adam and Eve), the chorus and always accompanied by the orchestra. My favourite example is when the baritone soloist sings ‘and God created whales.’

At this point, Haydn has all of the low dark instruments, the cellos and basses, the bassoons and the wonderful contrabassoon create the ocean’s depths where you can almost hear the whale song,” said Rosemary Thomson, OSO music director.

Tickets for the Kelowna concert are available by phone through Kelowna Tickets at 250862-2867 or online at okanagansymphony.com.

CONCERT Humans Saturday, April 11 Habitat 248 Leon Ave. Kelowna When Vancouver’s Robbie Slade joined forces with Montreal transplant Peter Ricq, the result was the ever-evolving mix of contagious rhythm and energy that is the electropop dance duo Humans.

Bringing together the big beats of Ricq’s past as a warehouse party promoter/performer and the melodic sensibility of Slade’s days as a firefighter-turnedfolk musician, Humans has evolved into an innovative beat-makers successfully fusing experimentation and dance music.

Its philosophy is to bring the body into movement in order to still the mind, access the knowledge of the body and dive deeply into the inner core of our being.

This is the first time a 5 Rhythms workshop is being offered in the Okanagan.

“Body, Breath and Beat” is the theme for this workshop, to be led by certified 5 Rhythms instructor Bettina Rothe, from Vancouver.

Participants will explore the mother language of our bodies which is rhythm. By paying attention to and deepening your breath in movement you will experience your aliveness and states of heightened

by Nicholas Sparks, it tells the story of the love between Luke (Eastwood), a former champion bull rider looking to make a comeback, and Sophia (Britt Robertson) a college student who is about to embark upon her dream job in the New York art word.

As conflicting paths and ideals test their relationship, Sophia and Luke make unexpected and fateful connections with Ira (played by both Alan Alda and Jack Huston), whose memories of his own romance with his beloved wife deeply inspire the young couple. The story is told intertwining the stories of the two couples, past and present.

In case you are wondering, Jack Huston is also related to Hollywood royalty as he is the nephew of Anjelica Huston and grandson of the great John Huston.

Marie has one surviving sibling, her sister Jean Prokopetz of Larkin Crossing, Armstrong, BC, who celebrated her 100th Birthday with Marie last October.

Marie was born in Watson, SK and at an early age, her family moved to Armstrong, BC. She travelled to Souris, Manitoba for work, where she met the love of her life, James Janz. They were married and moved to Kelowna.

In 1951 they bought an orchard in Oyama where they raised their family and farmed an orchard for 45 years.

Upon retirement, they moved to Glen Meadows in Kelowna and have resided there since. Jim and Marie travelled the world together and enjoyed great pleasure in wintering in Yuma, Arizona. This year they ventured to Yuma once more where they shared much friendship and laughs along the way. A wonderful memory for all.

SCHUMAKER - FLORENCE VICTORIA

June 10th, 1934 – April 6th, 2015 On April 6th, 2015 Florence passed away peacefully in her sleep in her home that she loved so much. Mom will be missed dearly by her daughters Wendy (Larry), Robbie (Gord) and Darcy (Colin), her many grandchildren, great grandchildren and extended family. Mom made Kelowna her home in 1951, one day before her 17th birthday. Her heart was captured by the Okanagan Valley and by Dad. Mom was happiest when sitting in a boat on a beautiful mountain lake with Dad, then gathering by a campfire with friends.

Mom was an accomplished homemaker and her family is very grateful for all she has taught us. We will miss her but know she is at peace and with Dad again. Mom was predeceased by her husband William, son Gary, granddaughter Candace and brother Al. The family is hosting a casual gathering for Mom at First Memorial Funeral Service, 1211 Sutherland Ave on Saturday, April 11th, 2015 from 2:00 PM till 4:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, please smile and say hello to a stranger in the grocery store line up because that’s what Mom always did.

Francis Mae Nahm (nee Lander) Mae passed away in Vancouver General Hospital, with family present, on April 2, 2015, following a brain aneurysm. Mae was born on a farm near Wolseley, Saskatchewan on October 6, 1927, the oldest of five siblings and was one of many rural Saskatchewan students that used ‘horse’ power instead of a bus to get to school. Mae graduated from Wolseley High School in 1946 and after attending Balfour Tech in Regina, entered the workforce. In 1953, accompanied by sister Joy, Mae came to Kelowna to work for the Provincial Government. Here Mae met and married Tilman Nahm, the evening operator at Canadian National Telegraphs for many years. They married in June 1955, buying orchards in the Benvoulin area of Kelowna, growing fruit until 1988. In 1989 they moved north to Grindrod to achieve their lifelong dream of owning a ranch. They developed their hobby ranch on the banks of the Shuswap River in a beautiful setting that was Mae’s Happy Home until her death. In these lovely surroundings, Mae enjoyed nature, feeding wild birds, gardening and growing and preserving an amazing bounty of fruits, vegetables, nuts and berries.

Mae is survived by her lifelong partner and very best friend, Tilman; daughter Marianne (Daryl Calder) of Cranbrook, son Karl (Monica) of Grindrod, son Ken of Salmon Arm, daughter Alison (Bill Gemmill) of Mission, grandchildren Keegan, Brendon, Tyrell and Risa Gemmill and Kelvin and Blair Nahm, and great granddaughter, Harper Gemmill. She is also survived by her four siblings, Joy Mackay (Peter) of Aldergrove, Lorna Scott (Alan, deceased) of Wolseley, Leo Lander (Shirley) of Regina and Bill Lander (Dorene) of Westbank and brother-in-law Gerry Nahm (Irene) of Vernon and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

There will be no funeral service at Mae’s request. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

The family expresses their sincere appreciation to all the doctors, nurses, care workers, and ground and air ambulance personnel for their outstanding care and comfort of Mae. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in Mae’s honour may do so by giving to Nature Trust of BC, #260, 1000 Roosevelt Crescent, North Vancouver, BC V7P 3R4; or Enderby Food Bank, C/O St. Andrews Church, 1110 Belvedere St., Enderby, BC V0E 1V0, or a charity of your choice.

Online condolences can be sent through Mae’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Rest in Peace Dear Mae

MISH, BETTY (NEE: MORDEN)

February 3, 1924 – April 5, 2015 With much love and sadness we announce the passing of Betty. Born in Morden, Manitoba and raised in Cloverdale, B.C., Betty met and, married Stan in 1947, after which they moved to Richmond, B.C. where they raised their family. Stan and Betty moved to West Kelowna, B.C. in September of 2014.

Betty is survived by her husband, Stan of sixty-seven years, daughters, Donna (Bill) Shumborski of Kelowna and, Karel (Gordy) Miller of Richmond, B.C. Her two grandchildren, Rielly Miller of Richmond, B.C. and, Brett Miller of Abbotsford, B.C, will sadly miss their Nana.

Peace be with you Mom, until we meet again. Please treasure your memories of Betty and, forget her not.

The family would like to thank the kind and caring staff and volunteers at both the Brookhaven Care Centre, West Kelowna, B.C. and, the Fraserview Intermediate Care Lodge, Richmond, B.C. Private interment at Valleyview Memorial Gardens, Surrey, BC. Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., Suite 307 – 1664 Richter Street, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 8N3.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com (250) 860-7077.

RIMMER, SYBIL IRENE 1938 ~ 2015 Sybil Rimmer was called home to heaven on April 4, 2015, at the age of 76, after an incredibly courageous five-year battle with ovarian cancer. Born August 6, 1938, Sybil was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to so many. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Rex W. Rimmer, whom was called home to heaven on September 29, 2013, after a courageous battle with ALS. Sybil is survived by daughters Sandra McCracken and Constance Rimmer; son-in-law Colin McCracken; grandson Curtis (wife Sadye) McCracken, granddaughter Candace (husband Kelly) Craddock, granddaughter Madison Rimmer-Parno; great-grandchildren Hannah & Brynlee McCracken and Lincoln & Lennox Craddock; and sister Dorothy Joliffe. Sybil is also survived by many great friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.

We will miss her so very much.

Sybil was known for her strong Christian faith, her love for her family & friends, and her youthful exuberance for life.

She firmly believed that through Jesus’ resurrection, which we celebrate this week, Christ conquered death and his followers would have eternal life with him; so we celebrate this day and are comforted in knowing that Mom is in a better place, with Jesus and with Dad. Memorial services will be held on Monday, April 20, 2015 at 2:00 pm at Everden Rust Funeral Services, 1910 Windsor Road, Kelowna, B.C., with reception to follow.

Mom received such amazing care from the compassionate nurses and staff at Hospice House; so in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Central Okanagan Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2Z6.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com or by emailing Connie at connie_rimmer@hotmail.com and Sandy at cmccra4@xplornet.com.

2014 Community Leader Awards

TOP HONOUR:

Toshi Yamamoto

HONOURABLE MENTION:

HONOURABLE MENTION:

Kim & Wende Olfert Do you know how well maintained the Beasley Park soccer pitches are?

Kim and Wende Olfert Kim and Wende Olfert can tell you all moved down from Prince about it. In fact, as part of the dedicated George in 2005 and have team making Lake Country Youth Soccer become a core part of the Association a driving force in the Okanagan, they can tell you just about anything soccer community. you need to know about the field, its clubhouse, the teams playing and the equipment.

“For me, it’s giving something back to the game and giving something back to the community,” said Kim. The Olferts encourage their kids to volunteer and they spend hours and hours of their own time managing the equipment for the program. This meant sourcing balls from China which will have the team’s logo built right into the ball, so it won’t come off no matter how many times it’s kicked. It means organizing kids’ gear to ensure everyone has what they need to play a game and taking time off work during peak organizing periods to focus solely on soccer.

“It’s hard not to volunteer when you have a facility as nice as this,” Kim said. “And if we left it solely to the municipalities, the cities what have you, it just wouldn’t happen. They don’t have the manpower, the budgets and so forth. You need people to step up.”

Ken Byers Ken Byers has been a valuable volunteer with Kelowna’s Gospel Mission since May, 2013. It is rare that you find a volunteer who gives so much time for such little glory. Ken has lived in Kelowna for over twenty years and survives on a disability pension. He loves to keep busy and loves to help.

Ken comes to Kelowna’s Gospel Mission’s thrift store every weekday morning for about an hour to sweep and wash our floors, wash our windows and clean the bathroom.

He is a faithful, quiet, hard working individual who asks for nothing in return. Ken may not think he is one of the most valuable volunteers at the Gospel Mission thrift store, but since he began volunteering, the staff, who would normally have to take on the cleaning task, can spend their time planning, training and displaying merchandise, creating a beautiful thrift store where people love to shop. All proceeds from items sold go directly back into helping feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and help the hurting in Kelowna.

Ken assumes a huge volunteer responsibility and Kelowna’s Gospel Mission feels blessed to call him their volunteer!

2014 Community Community Leader Leader Awards Awards 2014

Volunteer

Ministering to the less fortunate has taken Toshi Yamamoto all over the world and all over this community.

Volunteering at The Bridge Youth & Family Services detox and treatment centres, the Salvation Army, NOW Canada, Karis Support Society and Alexander Gardener House, to name but a few of her many stops, she washes the feet of those who are treated the worst by society.

“I treat them like a queen,” she said.

Yamamoto believes she has a prophecy over her, that God has spoken to her, imploring her to help the many prostitutes discarded by society to find happiness.

She tends to her clients with great care, giving them a massage and washing their feet, offering a special bit of pampering.

It is not her job to tell the women she meets to get off the street or to pass judgeToshi Yamamoto has a case of ment in any way, she stresses. She is there only to offer the kindness and love missing supplies when she ventures off to her from their lives. volunteer jobs to wash the feet of Her positive attitude and warm and welcoming spirit add a sense of calmness to the clients, like those at The Bridge Youth environments where she works. & Family Services detox centre.
