OKIB to ‘slow down’ CN Rail corridor purchase

LAKE COUNTRY

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Through five days of advance polling, more Lake Country residents have already cast ballots in the CN Rail corridor referendum than voted in the entire 2014 municipal election.

The last of five advance polling opportunities was held Tuesday at Lake Country municipal hall while residents in each of the four wards in Lake Country had the opportunity to vote prior to the April 25 general voting day, asking residents to approve borrowing $2.6 million to purchase the old CN Rail corridor in Lake Country.

Close to 2,300 residents have voted in the referendum so far, out of about 9,300 registered voters in Lake Country, more than the 24 per cent that voted in last year’s election with general voting day still to take place this Saturday.

“I think it’s great,” said Lake Country Mayor James Baker. “It certainly means people are very involved and wanting to make sure they get a chance to vote. It shows there is a lot of interest in what we are doing.

I’m hopeful a lot of them are seeing it as a positive addition to our assets.”

Among the residents taking advantage of the advance polls was one of Lake Country’s most senior residents as 100-year-old Anne Land.

“She appreciated being able to vote close to her home in Okanagan

Centre, but said she would have gone miles to vote in this referendum,” said chief election officer Reyna Seabrook.

The attempted purchase of the CN Rail corridor has been divisive in Lake Country. Two no-side groups have formed and have been mailing out information to residents while a yes campaign has held two public events to spread information.

Lake Country is hoping to join an interjurisdictional team led by Kelowna to purchase the 47-kilometre long CN Rail corridor for a total of $22 million. The community is the only jurisdiction that didn’t have enough money in reserves to fund the acquisition. To help make it happen, the City of Kelowna will purchase

Lake Country’s Scott Wilson and his son Fynn enjoying the sun and activities last Sunday at Beasley Park where the yes campaign in the referendum held a public support rally. part of the rail-line in Lake Country for $2.6 million on top of its $7.6 million share and is funding it out of financial reserves while the North Okanagan Regional District’s $1.9 million is also coming from reserves. The province has kicked in $7.2 million.

Lake Country residents opposed say there are too many future costs associated for the municipality which is struggling with aging roads and other infrastructure needs while the district says borrowing

$2.6 million will not affect plans to deal with the infrastructure.

Much of the opposition has come from landowners, some of whom have the CN corridor passing as close as a couple of feet from their homes, while two individual home owners in Oyama hold the right-of-first-refusal to purchase the corridor on their land.

“Citizens have concerns and we have the right to be concerned,” said Roger Bailey of the group No To Being

They are just pushing our concerns aside instead of asking us what our concerns are. To put tourists ahead of your general constituency... that’s a serious breach.”

At the City of Kelowna, Doug Gilchrist is the director of community planning and the head of the acquisition team. He said should the purchase be able to go ahead, the team will work with landowners to mitigate their concerns.

“If the referendum is positive and things are worked out with the Okanagan Indian Band challenge (see story this page), then we will complete the deal, take title and continue to work with (the landowners),” said Gilcrhist. “We’re not going to roll through any of those people that have concerns.

“We have said all along that we are intending to work with everyone, to understand their needs and interests. There are ways to work with them if they have individual issues on their property,” Gilchrist said.

Whether Lake Country votes yes or no this week is a moot point to members of the Okanagan Indian Band.

Dreams of a rail trail from Kelowna to Coldstream are far in the offing, considering a significant chunk of the land isn’t legitimately up for grabs, said Okanagan Band Chief Byron Louis.

Last month, the band filed a legal injunction to slow the sale of the corridor until the matter of land title is cleared away. The injunction is expected to be dealt with in court before the sale goes through.

“It’s to, more or less say, ‘wait a minute, let’s put the brakes on this’…There are more issues to be resolved,” Louis said Friday.

“Move ahead on the sale of the other portion, but for the 20 kilometres of the historic commonage, we’d like to put that on pause.”

The heart of the issue lies in B.C.’s history with First Nations commonage reserves.

In flyers it has Byron Louis circulated, the band says the Commonage Rail Corridor is a portion of the land allotted to them by the Joint Indian Reserve Commission in 1877.

Between 1886 and 1893 Canada and B.C. purportedly relinquished the band’s interest to the lands, but didn’t abide by the rules of the Indian Act when doing so.

Therefore, the band claims the rights acquired by CN were limited to the use of the corridor for railway purposes only.

“When KPR went bankrupt and CN decided to abandon the entire rail corridor, the Commonage Rail Corridor, like the Duck Lake portion, should have reverted to reserve land,” they say.

If the courts support that claim, it means CN wouldn’t have the right to sell the stretch of land.

Also, Louis said the land is of special significance to the band. “We had people who were still using it in the 1950s to 1960s, driving cattle to the south end of Vernon,” he said.

“It’s not like we suddenly stopped using that area, or didn’t have an interest. We had aunts, uncles and family who put medicines through there, and there are fishing stations where the rail trail would be. There are a lot of connections to it.”

Louis wants to make it clear that the band isn’t at odds with the community—just this plan. “We are doing a lot of great things together, just not this,” he said.

A court date has yet to be set. @kelownanewsKAT

Biowaste sit-in results in meeting operations in the Nicola Valley.

“We have repeatedly told the province that the biowaste operations pose a serious threat to our environment and to our title and rights,” said Chief Aaron Sam, of the Lower Nicola Indian Band.

their life as a whole on a satisfaction scale from 0 to 10, and the results were averaged by census metropolitan area and economic region.

Kelowna responses evened out to an 8, which put the city 12th spot on the chart.

Vancouver, with its high cost of living and continual downpours, came in dead last, as previously mentioned with a satisfaction rating of 7.8.

Although the focus of the report was where the happiest people lived, there were other findings about life satisfaction.

Of note, women are slightly more satisfied with their lives than men, and life satisfaction is slightly lower among immigrants than persons born in Canada.

The well-documented ‘u-shape’ correlation between age and life satisfaction—with levels lower among individuals in their 40s and early 50s than among those in younger and older age groups—is reflected in the age and age-squared variables, reads the report.

“Married individuals report higher levels of life satisfaction than those who are divorced or separated, widowed or never married. Model 1 yields a negative correlation between educational attainment and life satisfaction,” said the agency.

“However, this relationship becomes positive and significant when health status, employment status and/ or household income are removed from the model, confirming the now-established view that education affects subjective well-being through its impact on other outcomes.”

Top of mind were possibilities for agricultural trade, and she approached Premier Christy Clark and local MLA Norm Letnick about the issue.

Both were enthused and offered their support.

Next, she’s going to meet with the BC Fruit Growers Associations.

have made headway with trade opportunities.

They are better positioned for a broad trade deal as the total of Okanagan apple production represents less than 0.2 per cent of what’s grown in the world.

The difference, however, is in the details.

“Their fruit is not the same quality as Okanagan fruit,” Singh said.

As for the industry, in an interview last week, Glen Lucas, the BC Fruit Growers Association general manager, said there have been test shipments into the market, but it hasn’t historically been the focus of the industry.

“Our focus in previous years has been access to China, especially for cherries. We’re going into the second full year of that and the industry is feeling comfortable, so we are now looking at other opportunities for both cherries and apples,” Lucas said.

“We would be looking at specialty markets,” Lucas added. “So that could mean we’re just supplying hotels in India.”

India is Canada’s largest trading partner in South Asia, with two-way trade valued at about $6.3 billion. Canadian exports to the country totaled about $3.1 billion in 2014 and imports from India almost $3.2 billion.

Free-trade negotiations have moved slowly since being launched in late 2010.

Smoke streaming from the roof of a two-storey home on Arrowhead Crescent sent Kelowna Fire Department into action Monday.

Upon arrival, at around 2:45 p.m., command confirmed smoke coming from the roof of the Kelowna home. Inside crews found a small fire in the attic above the bathroom, said platoon captain Eric Simpson.

“The fire was knocked down quickly by crews.

The fire was contained to the bathroom,” he said.

Forced out of the home were four adults, one child and a dog.

“The cause of the fire is unknown at this time and fire investigators will be on scene today,” said Simpson, adding that smoke alarms really do save lives.

Plan of action for SE Kelowna water quality After years of exploring technical solutions and funding options, the South East Kelowna Irrigation District (SEKID) is moving forward with a Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP) that will meet mandatory provincial water quality standards and ratepayers’ demands for higher quality water.

The project will supply treated groundwater (well water) for domestic use through a new delivery system, and untreated

surface water for agricultural use through the existing distribution network. Taking into account the feedback received from ratepayers since the project was introduced in 2012, trustees have developed a feasible funding plan that avoids borrowing by constructing the new system in two phases.

SEKID is still actively pursuing other sources of funding, and should government grants become available, they will be used to accelerate the project and could help reduce rates.

“We’ve been investigating ways to provide a safe, clean, and reliable water supply that meets provincial standards and Interior Health operating permit conditions, responds to customer demands for clean water, and minimizes financial impacts,” said board chair Brian Wright.

“Despite the outcome of the 2012 Alternate Approval Process, during which we heard that ratepayers didn’t want to borrow money for water

quality improvements, compliance with provincial standards is still required. As we have consistently stated during the 2012 campaign and in subsequent newsletters, updates, and media reports, doing nothing has never been an option.”

Construction of the new community water system will be undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 includes the higherdensity McCulloch corridor, Gallagher’s Canyon, and Hall Road areas. It will start in 2017 and is slated for completion in 2019, and includes developing two new wells, treatment facilities, and distribution networks. This initial construction will serve as the basic infrastructure for the entire project.

Phase 2 covers the less populated rural areas.

Construction will begin when Phase 1 is finished, with completion expected in 2033. Phase-2 customers will receive treated groundwater as the new distribution system is expanded into their areas.

The estimated cost of design and construction is $23.7 million for both phases. There are currently no senior government grants for SEKID water quality improvements, however, SEKID has been assured in writing by the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development that the district would be eligible should funding become available. And the Integrated Water Supply Plan developed by the Kelowna Joint Water Committee identified SEKID’s WQIP as a priority project that will be first in line for eligible and available funding support.

If a grant were to be forthcoming, it would be used to accelerate project completion and could help reduce water rates.

NON-BORROWING SOLUTION

Knowing that SEKID must meet provincial standards and ratepayers’ demands for water improvements, SEKID is moving forward with a non-borrowing solution that draws from existing reserve funds, revenue from land sales, increased

tolls and taxes, and a new water quality levy.

The majority of project costs will be covered by the new water quality levy of $20 per month that will be charged to Phase-1 properties starting July 1s. Phase-2 properties will see a monthly charge of $10 starting when Phase-1 construction is complete in 2019.

Water tolls will continue to increase five per cent per year until both phases are complete. This works out to about $2.30 more per month in 2015. The annual water tax will also continue to increase five per cent per year to the end of 2020, then decrease to two per cent per year until the project is complete.

This works out to about $3.80 more for all of 2015. As an example, the quarterly water billing cycle effective July 1s for a single-family dwelling in Phase 1 will be $202.95 plus the yearly water tax of $79.20 per acre or parcel.

COMPARATIVE RATES

The planned average rate for a typical SEKID residential user is $74.25 per month. “By comparison,” explained Wright, “average monthly rates in the Okanagan range from a low of about $40 per month to a high of about $130 per month. Given the nature of SEKID’s source and distribution characteristics, the planned rate structure can be considered very reasonable.”

Recognizing the importance of customers understanding the plan of action, SEKID is sending a newsletter to each household, farm and business this week, and hosting an open house April 30th from 47pm at the East Kelowna Hall. This is a drop-in session where customers can learn more and ask questions of trustees and staff. Information is also available on the website at www.sekid.ca.

“We recognize that clean water and the associated financial impacts are extremely important to our customers,” says Wright.

“That’s why we’re doing everything we can to help them understand the need for these mandatory improvements and the plan to make them happen.”

To help more Canadians, the Kelowna-based charity that brings footwear to those in need has changed its name from Soles4Souls to Shoe Bank Canada.

On the heels of its name change, Shoe Bank Canada will kick off its sixth annual shoe drive this week in Kelowna.

From steel-toed boots and children’s gym sneakers to high heels and comfy runners, organizers hope to collect tens of thousands of pairs of shoes throughout the Interior this month.

Steve Goddard, Shoe Bank Canada co-founder, board member and volunteer, says he sees firsthand every day how outfitting a fellow in a pair of boots or finding a pair of pumps for a woman helps them get jobs that turn things around for families.

“We’ve helped put a lot of people back to work, and that’s one of the most rewarding things about what we do,” said Goddard, who says recipients often visit the Shoe Bank to thank volunteers’ days after earning a position.

“They’re just so appreciative.

Barely a day goes by when we don’t have somebody in tears in there.”

Kelowna’s less fortunate began receiving footwear this way six years ago when Jim Belshaw, owner of Roy’s Shoes, founded a local chapter of Soles4Souls, an international shoe charity based in the US. Before sending footwear across

the border and overseas, Belshaw always saw to the needs of locals, and agencies were soon calling him regularly with requests.

But digging through boxes after hours to find a runner in an eight or a boot in a nine became a little time-consuming.

And then Belshaw had a big idea: Why not partner with the Kelowna Community Food Bank to house a shoe bank so everyone has access to shoe donations any time?

Last July, the Shoe Bank—set up like a shoe store—opened on Ellis Street, directly across from the food bank.

“We’ve had such an amazing response,” said Goddard. “It’s been incredible.”

Since the summer, and with the help of nearly 20 local service agencies guiding the qualifying process, the Shoe Bank has provided more than 3,000 pairs of shoes to the working poor and homeless in 900 households.

In the midst of all the buzz, the Soles4Souls board of directors wondered if the Kelowna group should focus more on taking care of Canadians in need.

Soon after, Soles4Souls Kelowna became Shoe Bank Canada, a Kelowna-based national organization with dozens of permanent drop-off locations in cities across B.C., Alberta and Ontario.

“This is about Canadians helping Canadians first,” said Belshaw.

“There’s such a need here, so we’re making a difference in our own backyard first, as well as overseas.”

Instead of heading to the US for worldwide distribution, shoe donations now first go to Canadians.

In B.C. alone, shoes are shipped to 30 communities through 200 social agencies across the province.

And then excess is shipped to the less-fortunate abroad.

Here in Kelowna, storefronts and businesses such as Starbuck’s, Tom Harris Cellular, McDonald’s, and Capri Insurance have offered to host drop boxes for shoe donations.

Another critical source of donations is Shoe Bank Canada’s annual spring shoe drive, taking place in Kelowna April 27 to May 24.

“This is one of those little things you can do to really feel good and help make a difference,” said Goddard.

To make a shoe donation: • Ensure shoes are gently used and suitable for wear • Please use an elastic or tie shoelaces to keep shoes together • Look for a shoe drive or permanent collection box in your area, or find a location near you on the Shoe Bank Canada website.

Shipping all those boots and pumps across Canada adds up—it costs about $1 to ship one pair of shoes—so, individuals and groups are also welcome to donate funds towards shipping.

While keeping your computer’s software current is important, Jaime Lord, supervisor of corporate security at Valley First, says warding off online fraud takes more than technology.

The foundation for fighting fraud starts with people, not devices, says Dominic Vogel, IT security analyst at Valley First.

online fraud succeeds because it targets an individual’s needs.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

W

hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery.

And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.

E d, Drin

t at n e o Fo rtainm how!

Ente Boat S the

For the past four years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing.

The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage).

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

Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

Opinion OUR VIEW

Let us have some resolve to save our planet Many of us make new year’s resolutions every Jan. 1 and by now, most of them are broken and forgotten.

So why not start anew, this week, with Earth Day resolutions?

Today is Earth Day, and as there aren’t really any mainstream traditions that comprise the celebrations, we are free to decide how to mark the occasion.

We might get a few million years on this planet, if we’re careful, and each of us gets to live here for 81.25 of those years.

It doesn’t seem too much to ask, for us to keep it clean and tidy while we’re here, and wouldn’t it be a good and worthy thing to do to leave it better off than when we arrived?

Are future generations going to see the Strait of Georgia the way we imagine it to be, pristine, wild, beautiful?

Or will it be another polluted waterway, like too many around the world, that have become outfalls of human waste and selfishness, where we wouldn’t dream of even dipping our toes.

If we’re not going to stop making single-occupancy commutes in our SUVs, then maybe we can earn a carbon credit some other way, by cleaning a stream or planting a tree or improving our recycling efforts.

It is our choice to save the world or not, but there is some responsibility, we think, to leave it in good enough condition so that future generations will have that choice, too.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Land sale leaves lingering odour The B.C. Liberal government’s sale Victoria News of Crown properties to help balance its election budget was TOM the dominant story FLETCHER in the legislature last week, as the NDP revealed evidence of a “fire sale” that may have left millions on the table.

They started with Burke Mountain, the biggest single deal involving 14 view properties in Coquitlam.

The buyer was a prominent developer whose array of companies happened to donate nearly $1 million to the B.C. Liberal Party since 2000.

The $85 million price tag was similar to the B.C. Assessment Authority value on these forested properties, but an outside appraisal concluded they could have fetched an additional $43 million if they had spent more time on the hot Lower Mainland real estate market.

(This sale made headlines last fall for the province’s $8 million buyout of the local First Nation’s undefined territorial claim, when it was revealed the chief of the tiny Kwikwitlem First Nation pocketed an $800,000 commission.)

The government’s defence of the sale went from wobbly to weak. Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk was caught flat-footed and tried to get by on platitudes rather than retreat and find some answers.

Premier Christy Clark weighed in, arguing that the budget would have balanced without the property sale, and that some sales closed too late to help the electionyear budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong stressed that all these asset sales were detailed in three successive budgets. They downplayed the notion of land sales being rushed.

Then the NDP produced a string of emails sent between senior officials responsible for selling two big properties across the street from the legislature.

“To be part of the sale and development of over eight acres of Victoria’s beautiful inner harbour area is a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity. An opportunity that normally

would warrant years of planning and preparation,” wrote one citizens’ services bureaucrat. “Unfortunately we don’t have unlimited time – our goal is to have For Sale signs up by Oct. 31 with sales proceeds in the bank

by March 31, 2013.”

Then came a disclosure about a property in Surrey that had been bought as a potential hospital site. Once the existing hospital was expanded, that property was declared surplus. Indeed, de Jong featured this property to promote the government’s plan to stimulate local economies with private sector investment on unused land.

The Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the end of the fiscal year. NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an outside appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million.

The appraiser also recommended that the “highest and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until had been rezoned for commercial, retail or office development.

De Jong cited another big health property in Vancouver that sold for more than its appraised and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted.

But it’s now clear that these and perhaps other sales were done with arbitrary deadlines that had everything to do with the B.C. Liberals’ need to balance the books.

When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality.

It’s also worth recalling that the budget deficits prior to the 2013 election were largely a result of the B.C. government’s costly undoing of the harmonized sales tax, rather than the harsh forces of international finance.

Surplus asset sales have a long tradition in B.C., where the government owns more than 90 per cent of all land.

But after this round, full disclosure will be demanded.

Stop spreading poop on other’s lands To the editor: I wish the Regional District of the Central Okanagan and their contractor Biocentral would stop the spin on the biosolids that comes out of the Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant. They say that the land application of biosolids is common place, safe for crops and has been done for hundreds of years.

Common: The end product from Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton is a class A biosolid which must have a fecal coliform level less

than 1,000 and is used as compost not land application. The regional district product is a class B biosolid which has fecal coliform levels of 1.3 to 2 million and has many application restrictions. For comparison the B.C. government considers any fecal coliform found in well water as a problem.

Safe: After the final land application of class B biosolid, the following restrictions apply—domestic animal grazing is restricted for 60 days and food crops for human consumption with harvested parts above the

LAKE COUNTRY RAIL LINE

Punishing current council not a lasting legacy To the editor: I was pleased to attend the Rail Trail information meeting last week at Creekside Theatre in Lake Country. Good information was provided and legitimate concerns were raised and addressed.

However, I have trouble understanding those who think we should not spend tax money for parks and recreation facilities such as the trail, because our roads need work or because we already have municipal debt.

What a pathetic town we would be living in, if in earlier times, voters had voted “no” in previous referendums, or if past councils had chosen to fix the roads rather than build the arena and curling rink, the seniors’ centre, the community complex and Creekside Theatre, Beasley Park, Swalwell Park, etc.

Roads needed fixing back then and will always need fixing. Paying taxes for ongoing infrastructure maintenance is the price of living in a decent community.

Paying additional taxes for amenities that improve our standard of living, such as those mentioned above and the proposed lakeside rail trail, is a privilege that I look forward to, in order to continue the Lake Country tradition of building a community that is a great place to live.

Fixing existing infrastructure or acquiring new facilities such as the trail is not an “either or” decision. We need to do both and we need to recognize that we will have to pay for both.

Several people have told me they will vote no because they are mad at Lake Country and/or its council for decisions on other matters. They want to punish those currently in city hall, all of whom will move on; and I can say from experience, after they are gone, no one will remember who they were. The

trail will be there forever.

Voting no will not punish existing politicians or bureaucrats; it will punish Lake Country’s current and future citizens.

If we vote yes and move forward to build this great trail, our grand children and their grand children will be using and enjoying it for years to come. If we vote no, they will be asking us why we were so cheap that we couldn’t come up with an average of $27 a year for 20 years to provide a world class trail for them to use.

A bargain at twice the price. The city of Vancouver wisely set aside Stanley Park in 1888 when its population was little more than 1,000; San Diego set aside Balboa Park when its population was only 1,500. And you can bet the roads were in poor condition back then. Surely we are wise enough to secure this trail corridor now so we can get on with turning it into the fabulous asset it will be.

Contrary to what some are saying, the District of Lake Country does not currently have excessive debt, nor will the rail trail boost it significantly.

As former Lake Country councillor Tim Witty used to say, buying long-term assets through borrowing not only ensures that the public can start enjoying those assets now, but it ensures that the cost will be spread amongst the people who will use those assets over the life of those assets.

This argument makes especially good sense at this time, when the municipality can borrow money at such low interest rates.

Those of us who will vote yes can see the future benefit of the rail trail, and many of us are willing and able to meet the challenge of building and maintaining it. Vote yes; do it for your grandchildren.

Bob McCoubrey, Lake Country

Hats off to KGH medical staff To the editor: I recently returned home after surgery and a four-day stay in Kelowna General Hospital.

I wish to inform those apprehensive about going to the hospital for surgery that you are in the hands of caring and competent professionals. I felt I received five-star care.

My wife and I were extremely anxious about my sudden need for surgery. However; all the doctors, nurses and technicians involved in my care took the time to calmly and thoroughly explain each procedure. It alleviated our fears to know exactly what was happening and why. I wish to thank in particular Dr. Nash who performed the colonoscopy, and Dr. Recsky who performed the surgery. Both put me at ease, not an easy

task given the challenging circumstances.

I wish to thank the RNs, especially the recovery room RN who phoned my wife and again took the time to patiently explain my condition. To all the nurses in East Strathcona 321, I express my deepest appreciation. You deserve recognition for your competence as well as your kind and caring attitude. Your diligence in looking after my needs kept me comfortable at all times.

I thank my doctors for their post-op followup. Dr. Recsky checked my progress daily, and my family doctor, Dr. Andruchow visited daily as well. I could not have experienced better care.

IRRIGATION START UP There are many important elements to maintaining a lawn, water is one of them. An automatic sprinkler system is the best way to deliver the water it needs. Recharging your irrigation system typically starts in April and is dependent on whether or not the frost is still in the ground.

When you can get a shovel in down a full 12 inches, then you are usually good to go.

Irrigation systems vary, but they are installed with the same basic principles. Following are some simple tips for starting up your system for the first time in the spring.

One important thing to remember is your system was blown out in the fall with air – if you do not open the valves – air compresses – water does not.

You may break something in your system if you do not open the valves before recharging your system.

• check all valve boxes for rodent nests and debris • re-attach any fittings removed in the fall (be sure to use teflon tape if necessary). Ensure all valves and or drains are open and water source is connected slowly open the water source valve and begin filling up the system when water starts coming out of the drain close the drain valve.

• close the other valves as the air is cleared out of the system and water starts to come out of the heads and sprinklers. Once the system is pressurized, run through the stations one by one, letting each station operated for two to four minutes.

• inspect to ensure the sprinklers are spraying properly, for leaks and any other problems.

• set current time and check schedule on controller unit.

If you have any questions or would prefer the name of a contractor to perform the start up for you, call us or come in to see us.

Self-compassion needed to help overcome loss of a loved one We are all on a spiritual path whether we know it or not.

Increasing awareness and developing our consciousness is a shared bond we each have with humanity.

We come to understand grace when we accept that everything that happens in our lives happens for a reason.

Our experiences are our own curriculum of learning on our unique path towards recognizing that the bond we have with each other is determined by our willingness to be kind to ourselves.

There are four key elements of selfcompassion: • Recognizing your own suffering is caused from a self-critical mind • Responding to your own suffering with kindness • Understanding that you are not suffering in isolation • Cultivating a practice of mindfulness as the antidote to self-criticism Mindfulness cultivates acceptance by becoming a neutral observer of negative thoughts and emotions.

It helps us disengage from an emotional response to an event and allows us to navigate challenges with equanimity and perspective.

As a society, we are quick to judge, quick to blame others and create cultures in our own

Seniors’ Concerns MARJORIE HORNE home, at our workplace or within our own circle of connections that sometimes feeds on discord.

We forget that our longings, hopes and dreams are a universally shared bond.

When we each accept that we can profoundly affect positive change by eliminating our own tendencies toward creating separation, seeking control, or manipulating others, greater harmony will be created.

This process requires not only tolerance of our differences, but a genuine willingness to work with them. It requires focusing on our commonality rather than our dissimilarity.

We all experience loss in our lives and it is a gateway to taking us deeper into how we feel about ourselves.

It is an open window to vulnerability, which is a very strong motivator to letting down our armour long enough to connect to hurts we have protected that can result in cynicism and the projection of that hurt onto others.

The busyness of our lives does not create

moments of stillness unless we choose to stop, slow down and let the energy of spirit speak with us to reveal where disconnection, judgment or blaming others is actually negatively affecting us.

The experience of a loss sometimes stops life for a time and by grand design, we are forced to experience our own pain more fully and just be for a while. There is infinite wisdom and learning from it.We all create habits of doing things and once a habit of behavior is established, we continue to use the habit unconsciously.

There is great insight available as we go back to explore the losses in our lives, how we dealt with them and what perceptions we formed from the experience.

When you are in the middle of a present loss, it is an opportunity to dive in deeply and if willing, you may heal many losses from the past that have been left unresolved and have affected your habits of behavior and patterns of separation and isolation.

As I have quite recently lost my mom, the opportunity to explore how loss has affected me, not just now but over my lifetime, is available in a very transformative way.

I recently spent time doing what is called

a loss history graph.

This process allows you to come to a clearer understanding of your own patterns, so that you can confront and change them.

Especially as we age, it seems that more and more losses enter our lives. As the old mountain man told the young mountain man, “If you want to avoid bear traps, it’s a good idea to know what they look like.”

Learning about your behaviour of dealing with loss is incredibly insightful and valuable to increasing joy in your life.

You begin a Loss History Graph by writing down your first memory of loss of any type with a couple of words and the date of the occurrence.

Follow that with a recording of each of the losses that present to you.

Some will seem full of emotion and you can write down how it

affected you, decisions you may have made and any insights that present themselves to you.

Others will seem of less significance and perhaps not require much additional information.

Give yourself lots of time to do this or allow several time periods to return to it.

Rest when you need to, be aware of your feelings and connect into your body through slow, deep breaths and just allow that which comes to your awareness to do so as you are still.

Pay attention to where you want to blame someone for actions that were taken.

Let that go and be willing to let spirit guide you to insights that are important for you to realize.

As you see from this exercise how deeply your patterns of loss can affect yourself, you may want to

take it further.

The Central Okanagan Hospice Association is starting an eight- week Adult Grief Group on May 6 that will run on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 pm.

Call Pauline at 250763-5511 for more information.

There is great discovery

in exploring your feelings of loss to promote healthy living and well-being.

I guarantee it will be worth the effort and the peace of self-compassion is the result.

Acupuncture treatment for addressing chronic pain Pain is considered chronic if it lasts six months or more and it can be debilitating to live with.

The pain may be constant, or it can come and go, interfering with many aspects of daily life.

The quality of the pain can be tingling, jolting, burning, dull, aching or sharp.

The cause of chronic pain often isn’t well understood. In some cases, there may be no evidence of disease or damage that points directly to pain.

In other cases, pain may remain after the original injury shows every indication of being healed.

Chronic pain can be due to a chronic condition, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia, but often there is still no clear understanding of the physical cause of the pain.

Damage to a peripheral

Needle Notes JAMES KAUFMAN or spinal nerve may lead to chronic pain, where the damaged nerve, not the original injury, is causing the pain. Nerve damage can result from accidents, infections or surgery.

Researchers think chronic pain may be partly caused by sensitization, a process where the nervous system amplifies and distorts pain, resulting in severe pain that is out of proportion to the disease or original injury.

Sensitization can affect all the pain-processing regions of your nervous system, including the sensing, feeling and thinking centres of your brain.

When this occurs,

chronic pain may be associated with emotional and psychological suffering.

Treatment for chronic pain often means managing the pain through over-the-counter pain relievers, prescription opioids, cortisone, or NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories).

Unfortunately for many, medications often have undesirable sideeffects and may offer only limited effectiveness for dealing with the pain.

Other treatments may include physiotherapy, massage, chiropractic, counseling, and acupuncture, therapies which aim more at resolving the pain.

Often, a combination of approaches is needed to effectively treat this problem.

Acupuncture is an excellent option for

chronic pain.

Although Western medicine has not yet uncovered the mechanisms of acupuncture, it is clear that acupuncture is very effective for treating all kinds of pain, both acute and chronic.

This goes beyond the “placebo effect,” as acupuncture works just as well on animals (who bring no expectation to the treatment table).

One of the reasons that acupuncture is particularly good for treating pain is the way in which it stimulates the production of endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers.

In addition, acupuncture focuses on correcting imbalances in the body and encouraging normal, healthy functioning of the body’s various systems, which may help the body to correct the sensitization process

Selfie Section

as described above, or changes or disruptions to the body as a result of injury or illness.

In this way, it can help both to manage and relieve the pain in the short term, and help to address the underlying causes of the pain to help to resolve chronic pain over time.

In my practice, I have

seen patients with chronic pain respond very positively to acupuncture, with a reduction in pain symptoms and the overall level of pain.

As pain diminishes, acupuncture helps open the door for healing, allowing a person to regain aspects of their former lifestyle and quality of life.

Although chronic pain is a complex problem, acupuncture is a treatment option certainly worth considering!

Art installation of crows showcased at Kelowna Museum This Saturday, April 25, Kelowna Museums, in association with UBCO student artist Kacie Auffret, will present an installation of crows, to raise appreciation of crows and corvids in the Central Okanagan.

Auffret graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Windsor and is now pursuing her masters in visual arts interdisciplinary creative and critical studies at the University of British Columbia Okanagan.

Her work ranges from intaglio printmaking and digital media to photographs and performance art.

Auffret’s interested in the relationships between people and animals, including animals in the industrial food chain, wildlife, household pets, and lab specimens.

As part of her

presentation at Okanagan Heritage Museum, Auffret will share stories involving roadkills, spirituality, and our relationships with animals.

She will also provide crow cutouts which will be placed in the gallery as an interactive.

Joining Auffret to provide the natural history component is Logan Lalonde, birding chair of the Central Okanagan Naturalists Club, the youngest person to hold a position on the executive of that club.

Lalonde describes himself as “a true ‘hardcore’ birder,” someone who goes out everyday with his binoculars and camera.

“I chase almost every rare bird reported in my hometown. Hopefully that doesn’t sound like arrogance, because it isn’t,” he said.

Lalonde will speak

on Saturday about the natural history of crows and corvids in the Central Okanagan.

“Do you love birds, art,

and bird-as-art?” said Christina Neale, Kelowna Museums programming coordinator.

“Fly, don’t walk, to this

event. The collections are scheduled to include a Grey jay, a Stellar’s jay, and magpies.

“We believe this is an

experience you’ll always carry with you.”

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Okanagan Heritage

Museum, 470 Queensway Ave., with special presentations by the artist and naturalist at 2 p.m.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Talk about tile: Beautifying a backsplash There are so many fun and gorgeous details you can add to your home in the process of infusing highlights and polish, and to me a kitchen just doesn’t seem complete without a backsplash of some sorts.

In a practical sense it protects the wall from moisture and food splashes, but it’s also prime space to showcase your style personality.

Your main objective when selecting the right backsplash tile or material can either be to tie all of the shades and tones in the cabinets, counter, and floor together, or to simply add one exceptional feature to your kitchen and let is shine.

METAL Metallic penny-rounds have always been a favorite of mine—elegant and quirky, they make a solid statement in any space. Kitchens with stainless appliances (and even those without) get an added boost with this finish and smooth texture.

Frequently the familiar philosophy ‘less is more’

‘‘

Earthy and everlasting: Two great adjectives…when I think of natural stone tile.

’’

Crispin Butterfield

applies to this gem of a splash idea; you don’t need to do the entire backsplash in this material to have great impact.

Consider doing a vertical strip behind a cook top, or up in behind a designer exhaust system. A little bit of pop is all you’ll need.

GLASS Timeless, classic, serene, and sometimes even whimsical; a glass mosaic tile looks gorgeous in kitchens needing a boost in the sparkle and polish departments.

Reflecting under cabinet

using slabs instead of tile—a section of wall washed in gorgeous stone is simply mesmerizing.

lighting or daylight as it streams in through your windows, glass tile instantly opens up and expands the kitchen, much like how a mirror would.

Easy to clean and non-absorbent, glass tile comes in individual pieces, or assembled on a mesh backing in a manageable sheet for easier installation.

COMBOS If you love the look of glass, stone, and metal, but can’t commit to just one material, why not consider finding a mosaic that integrates one or two, or even three, of these materials?

Here are a vast array of mixed-material mosaics out there now, so blending stainless with marble or travertine is perfect for traditional kitchens needing a bit of a modern edge, or contemporary kitchens requiring just a touch of timeless.

GEOMETRIC LOVE Call it a fad, call it a throwback to the 1970s…geometric patterns and textures

Kitchen backsplash samples

A backsplash will showcase a homeowner’s design style and personality.

CONTRIBUTED are back and they’re big!

Starbursts, zigzags, cubes— some of the more exclusive tile brands are offering clients something more than just pretty looking porcelain.

You can take your kitchen to an entirely new level with the help from a bright and

sassy geometric tile!

STONE Earthy and everlasting; two great adjectives that come to mind when I think of a natural stone tile.

The pattern and flow found in stones like marble, slate,

and tumbled travertine is organic and rich, making them perfect choices for kitchens that have more of a rustic and texturized aesthetic.

Play with the size and direction of your stone tile; replace 4” x 4” or 6” x 6” standard sizes with something large scale, or with a blend of varying sizes.

Multi-sized subway styles look amazing run horizontally and even vertically under your upper cabinets. And if it’s in the budget, consider

MIX IT UP Lately I’ve come across some pretty amazing kitchen designs, and many of them have a combination of tile selections acting as a single backsplash.

As long as the thicknesses are fairly similar, you can pair two different tiles together. Why not consider running with a monochromatic scheme, but mixing up a vertical design behind your cook top or range hood, and finish it all up with a horizontal complementary tile around the rest of the perimeter? It’s unconventional, but that’s what makes it so unique!

Crispin Butterfield owns Urban Theory Interior Design in Kelowna. designchick.ca

Of Prime Interest: Insuring your mortgage Many homeowners are reluctant to purchase life and disability insurance—they don’t want to add the cost of insurance to their mortgage payment.

But that can turn out to be a big mistake.

It’s not surprising that homeowners balk at mortgage insurance because most of us feel we are already stretching our monthly payments to the maximum.

But instead, think of it as something you can’t afford to be without. Otherwise, your family could be left holding a debt on what tends to be a person’s largest individual debt obligation.

It is especially important for first-time or young buyers to get coverage because the mortgage balance is usually high and the premiums in most cases tend to be much lower because of their age.

The ideal time to look at your options is when signing up for a mortgage. While all lenders offer mortgage life insurance, getting insurance through an independent mortgage broker to cover your mortgage is usually a better option.

This affords you the opportunity of switching lenders later on. For example, five years down the road your mortgage

becomes available for renewal and another lender is offering you a better rate.

You can switch the mortgage and not have to requalify for your life insurance.

This reduces the risk of facing higher premiums because as we age, the premiums increase with new policies.

Worse yet, you may find out at the time that you are uninsurable.

Mortgage life insurance with an independent will be for the full amount of the mortgage and not based on your declining mortgage balance.

You do have the option of reducing your

premiums when the mortgage balance decreases, but when you are tied to a lender the insurance coverage is for the mortgage balance only and the premiums will remain the same regardless of the balance.

If something were to happen to both you and your spouse, with an independent broker the insurance would pay double and not just your mortgage balance as is the case when insuring with the lender.

Disability insurance is also available and a typical disability policy will only pay 60 to 70 per cent of your monthly income, so

there is still a gap.

Coverage will be only for your mortgage payment with a lender, but again with an with an independent broker you have the option of insuring for a higher monthly amount so you will also be covered for other monthly expenses such as property taxes and basic living expenses.

Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of Kelowna mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde (250-470-8324); Darwyn Sloat (250-718-4117); and Christine Hawkins (250 -826-2001).

Day rth

could be the most exciting year in environmental history. The year in which economic growth and sustainability join hands. The year in which world leaders finally pass a binding climate change treaty. The year in which citizens and organizations divest from fossil fuels and put their money into renewable energy solutions. These are tough issues but we know what’s at stake is the future of our planet and the survival of life on earth. On Earth Day we need you to take a stand so that together, we can show the world a new direction. It’s our turn to lead. So our world leaders can follow by example.

Working together in our community for a healthy environment, happy people, & a sustainable local economy

Constantly growing to serve you better!

impact on older adults and their families by providing much needed support, education, advocacy, symptom management, and help making complex decisions,”said Pesut. “However, there is also an important potential role to be played by volunteers, trained in navigation, to support these older adults.”

Pesut and Hooper, along with University of Alberta researcher Wendy Duggleby, will now begin a one-year study of the feasibility of using navigation volunteers to support older adults and their families. This study will take place in Trail, Castlegar, and Nelson.

Hooper will work with the volunteers to provide navigation services for older adults with advanced chronic illness living in their homes.

in poor quality of life.”

Pesut, Canada Research Chair in Health, Ethics and Diversity, says support is especially important in rural communities because services are limited, or several hours’ drive away. Each visit to a specialist can be mentally and physically exhausting for the patient and their caregiver.

As part of the research, Brenda Hooper spent the past three years working as a nurse navigator in Castlegar and Trail. In this role, twice a month she visited a chronically ill senior and answered questions about their medical care, resources in their community, and offered advice to families and caregivers.

“Evaluation of the project shows that the use of a nurse navigator has a clear and direct

Retired baby boomers— professionals looking for something meaningful to do during retirement—might be the answer to helping seniors with chronic illness live independent lives.

A three-year study conducted by researchers at UBC Okanagan has determined that with the help of a trained professional to navigate their health care, chronically ill seniors in rural communities are able to maintain better, healthier lives than those without help.

“Older adults living in rural areas with advanced chronic illness often live with challenging symptoms and limited healthcare services,” said Barbara Pesut, associate professor of nursing at UBCO. “They have difficulty knowing the services that are available to them and also accessing those services.

Approximately 50 Central Okanagan manufacturers will be asked about their workforce issues during pre-scheduled interviews over the five days.

Questions will be asked about specific jobs they

able to provide assistance related to training/ certification, recruitment and other areas.

It will also be communicated to the provincial and federal governments as industry intelligence for consideration in policy and program development.

The idea for a Business Walk focusing on human resource issues was inspired by the 2014 study: Growing in the Okanagan—2020 Labour Market Outlook, the largest study of its kind in the region.

The need to retain and attract appropriately skilled workers was identified as a major factor in growing the Central Okanagan economy.

Local employers will be facing ever increasing human resource pressures associated with an aging workforce, retirements and the need to develop proactive attraction, recruitment and retention strategies.

At the same time, the majority of employers do not have a human resources plan or a succession plan.

The Central Okanagan Business Walk program is organized by the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission, which launched the first Business Walk in Canada in October 2012.

The program also involves local business improvement associations, Westbank First Nation and business groups like the Chamber of Commerce throughout the region.

Rockets,‘Hawks rematch

Lengthy absence over for Kirkland

Warren Henderson

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

whenderson@kelowncapnews.com

Twelve months ago, the Portland Winterhawks took down the Kelowna Rockets in the WHL’s Western Conference final.

On the eve of the rematch in 2015, it’s safe to say the Rockets would like nothing more than to return the favour.

And while many of the faces are back on both sides of the ice, Kelowna head coach Dan Lambert sees a considerably different matchup than last spring.

“I think last year you had two different teams than what we see this year,” said Rockets’ head coach Dan Lambert.

“They lost a few key pieces, but obviously they’re still a very dangerous team.

“We lost some players, but we added some pieces, too. Every year is different, we’d just like to get it right this time.”

Getting it right means finally seeing his Rockets beat the Winterhawks, who have eliminated Kelowna from the playoffs in three of the last four seasons.

Portland is without three of its key defenceman from last year’s Western Conference championship team as Derrick Pouliot, Tyler Wotherspoon and Matt Dumba have all moved on.

Despite losing Taylor Leier and Brendan Leipsic, Portland still has a potent attack up front, led by Oliver Bjorkstrand (63 goals) and Nicolas Petan, and supported by the likes of Chase DeLeo, Paul Bittner and Alex Schoenborn. In goal, Aiden Hill is a new face, with both Corbin Boes

Last Friday night’s playoff matchup against the Victoria Royals wasn’t just another game for Justin Kirkland.

The Kelowna Rockets’ forward was playing for the first time in more than two months after suffering what turned out to be a stubborn and slow-to-heal lower body injury on Feb. 14.

The Camrose, AB native is, not surprisingly, thrilled to be back after sitting out the longest stretch of his junior career.

“It was tough watching the guys, not being able to compete with them,” said Kirkland, who had an assist in his team’s series clinching 7-3 win over the Royals.

“I was pretty nervous, it was a big game and there was a lot on the line. Honestly, there were nerves, but after the first couple of shifts, I took a hit and I gave a hit, got back in the game and it kind of felt like I’d never been away.”

Kirkland’s greatest fear during his extended absence was the prospects of missing his team’s entire playoff run.

Now the 6-foot-3, 188-pound forward is thrilled to be back in

In the end, Lambert said most of the Winterhawks have been there, done that.

“They have guys who know what it takes to win. A lot of them have two of three Conference titles. They’re the defending (conference) champs and until somebody can knock them off, that’s who they’ll be.

“They’re still a very good team.”

The same can be said for the Rockets who fortified their roster with the additions of marquee players Leon Draisaitl and Josh Morrissey. Draisaitl, the Edmonton Oilers prospect, leads Kelowna

in playoff scoring with 15 points in nine games.

Along with returnees Madison Bowey, Rourke Chartier, Tyson Baillie and Nick Merkley, most observers consider this the best stocked Rockets’ team since the 2009 WHL champs.

In addition, the Rockets are as healthy as they’ve been at any time this season with just one player sidelined.

“We want to make sure we get through this week of practise and get guys feeling better than they already do,” Lambert said. “(A full roster) is a nice problem to have and we’re in a position now where we have some important decisions to make on who plays and

who sits out.”

It’s been five months since the old rivals last met when Portland edged Kelowna 4-3 on Nov. 22 at Prospera Place.

Lambert and the Rockets are understandably anxious to renew acquaintances.

“We’re excited,” said Lambert. “Everybody expected (Portland) to come out of their division and were expected to do the same…so here we are again.

“It should be a great series.”

The Rockets and Winterhawks open the best-of-seven conference final on Friday, 7:05 p.m. at Prospera Place.

Game 2 goes Saturday, also in Kelowna.

MORRISSEY WINS WEEKLY HONOUR…

Josh Morrissey’s onegame heroics were enough to earn the Kelowna Rockets’ defenceman the Western Hockey League’s player of the week honours.

The 6-foot, 190-pound blue liner scored two goals and added three assists Friday to lead the Rockets to a 7-3 victory over Victoria, as Kelowna clinched the secondround WHL playoff series in five games.

Morrissey had just returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games in Victoria with an injury. @capnewsports.ca

the mix in time for the Western Conference final against Portland.

“There never is a good time to be out, it’s tough missing playoffs, I mean you never know what can happen with the team,” said Kirkland. “I’ve gotta thank the guys for getting through the first couple of rounds and giving me a chance to come back and play.

“I’m really looking forward to this next series (with Portland),” he said. “It should be exciting…a hard-fought series between two good teams.”

Based on the length of his absence, head coach Dan Lambert said Kirkland did an admirable job of fitting back into the Rockets lineup.

“Anybody who sits out that long is not going to just jump out there and be right back where they were,” said Lambert.

“Having said that, I thought he looked good, he had an assist and got his feet back under him again. It’s good to have him back.”

Kirkland’s return gives the Rockets one of healthiest lineups they’ve had in months, with only forward Tanner Wishnowski remaining on the sidelines.

Even though he spends much of his time coaching, Joachim Nierfeld still knows his way around the court as a formidable competitor.

Over the Easter weekend, the Kelownabased teaching pro won a Western Canadian Indoor Senior tennis title for the sixth time in the last decade.

The two defeated Victoria’s Greg Diemer and Gerald Yung 2-1 in the final, needing a tiebreaker in the third and deciding set.

“It was a good, close match,” said Nierfeld.

“We were happy to win it.”

Two-time national women’s champ Rachel Homan will be in Kelowna this summer for the Rockslide Curling Camp. camp was a mini-sports day, it was so much fun and a great way to get to know new people,” Karoway said.

“The atmosphere at the camp was great. It was just like hanging out with friends. I can’t wait to go back.”

Attendees will also have the chance to put everything they have learned into practice during the post-camp bonspiel which takes place from July 10 to 12.

KELOWNA RINGETTE

Kelowna U16s Western K r Canadian champs A trip to Calgary late last month was well worth the time and effort for the Kelowna U16A ringette squad.

Thanks to an unbeaten and dominating week of play, the Kelowna girls returned home from the Western Canadian Ringette Championships with gold medals in their possession.

The U16A girls rolled through the first three games of the tournament, defeating Manitoba 8-1, Saskatchewan 14-4, the host team from Calgary 6-2.

In the semifinal, Kelowna came up against unbeaten Team Alberta but again was convincing in a 6-1 victory.

In the final, Kelowna met Manitoba and once again prevailed, this time by a 5-1 score.

Two-time Scotties champion Rachel Homan will be back in Kelowna this summer for the fifth edition of the Rockslide Curling Camp.

Dozens of young curlers will take to the ice at the Kelowna Curling Club from July 7 to 10 to receive top-level coaching and to take part in a fun, team-building session.

The four-day camp encourages youth from eight to 20 years of age to either try the sport for the first time, or improve their games while learning from some of the game’s best.

Homan will take part in an ‘Ask the Athlete’ panel while also assisting in physical training sessions.

As well as curling coaching, campers have the chance to take part in outdoor activities like obstacles courses and team games.

Chasing the entrepreneurial dream finds common ground I recently spent a very interesting afternoon in a West Kelowna that bears some mention.

I enjoyed conversations with three totally distinct individuals, who all seemed to blend together and prompt my thought about the art behind the creation of an entrepreneurial idea.

The first gentleman I spoke with was from New Zealand, who kept

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG me attentive with the oration of his multifaceted background and the roads he has traveled in bringing his personal venture to the Okanagan.

Second, I met for

the first-time also a young psychologist who moved here recently with his family from Chilliwack. He offered some wonderful insights into ourselves and those around us in our daily lives.

Then before I set off to the supper hour with my spouse, I was introduced

to a gentleman from France who has moved to the Okanagan, soon to be joined by his family, to create his entrepreneurial dream in Canada—a French pastry and chocolate factory— hopefully on the West Kelowna side of the lake.

This visionary has 8,000 original recipes from which to delight our culinary fantasies.

missing in the market that satisfies a want or need.

So I found some interesting theorizing concerning the keys to picking a winning entrepreneurial idea: 1. Know Thyself: A key variable here might be where do you fall on the risk spectrum? For example, many young aspiring entrepreneurs may well be a time in life for taking the big risk, others perhaps not to much.

2. What’s your angle? Generally, good venture ideas fall into six categories: • Roll-ups—wherein disparate players in a given market are aggregated. Consider, for example, pulling together all the weed-pullers in Central Okanagan • Better widget— offering incremental improvements is where most first-time entrepreneurs focus their new-found fire • Better, faster,

enjoyable visits behind me, it gave pause for reflection about how aligned with the entrepreneurial spirit were the lives of these three men.

And how, in tune with each other, they demonstrated the touchstones of innovation and creativity in their mission to make a difference in their lives and their world.

It raised for me the concept of the entrepreneurial idea art form and the magic of the journey evolving from absolutely any origin and form.

It often seems the best ideas for new products and services often come from a sense of frustration with the existing supply in the marketplace.

Entrepreneurship, in part, is the skill of connecting different patterns in order to create a product or service that is more useful, convenient,

cheaper—and not necessarily all three of these • A novel concept— who’d-have-thunk-it ideas that create new markets • Geography—items like finding an idea that works in one location and doing it in a second location or spotting and capturing a local monopoly 3. Do the hard stuff first. I tend to get obsessed with rigorously evaluating new venture ideas.

Part of my logic stems from the fact that the core essence of moving forward from idea to reach an entrepreneurial opportunity conclusion is the critical evaluation of the said idea.

4. Look at lots of ideas—the world is limitless for ideas, the trick is finding the one or even two that are right for you.

5. Do it—get moving folks, get answers. Such answers likely won’t come from sitting at your computer. And, do act with a sense of urgency to propel your new venture idea to reality.

Follow these suggested game rules and you have a good shot at answering the biggest question of all: Is this the one? Is this that special idea that will move me into the realm of the existing from aspiring entrepreneur?

Please remember this: Deep down inside each of us burns an entrepreneurial spirit, which means wanting to explore and potentially embrace starting and operating a new venture the way you hope to run your personal life.

A successful venture means increasing the clients you have and a successful personal life to many of us, means increasing the number of friends and loved ones we can muster. Hence, being an entrepreneur is really a way of life.

It’s called CREW Marketing Partners, located at 302-1353 Ellis St. in downtown Kelowna. Formerly Relevention, CREW expanded its Abbotsford operation, opening a second office in Kelowna last year. Partner Josh Cairns relocated here from Toronto and, in partnership with Gabelhouse, has found success helping organizations succeed.

The company acts like your in-house marketing crew, leading with everything from strategy and branding, right through to daily execution and measured results. The new name is actually an acronym of their core values of character, relationships, execution and the wow factor. Their team now has over 30 staff with expertise in brand development, marketing strategy, creative design, development, web content, digital marketing and social media.

Kelowna Flightcraft will celebrate its 45th anniversary this year with a new name, logo and look. The new name, KF Aerospace, along with a new brand identity will be phased into the organization over the coming weeks. The new name is meant to better encompass the company’s operations in cargo, aircraft leasing, maintenance, engineering and defense services.
