Garbage: Popular food source for bears Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

CONTRIBUTED

Terry Myroniuk has dealt with many problem bears over his nearly 20 years as a provincial conservation officer, and in some pretty strange places as well.

There was the time, while working in the Vancouver area, when he had to fire off a dart to tranquilize a bear at the Metrotown Mall in Burnaby.

Or the time there was a bear to deal with at the PNE grounds in the heart of Vancouver.

Now working in the Central Okanagan, Myroniuk says those cases are good examples of how far a bear will go into an urban setting, especially if it has become habituated to finding and eating garbage left unattended by the public.

“Where we do deal with humanbear conflicts or bears that are habituated or showing aggression, nine times out of 10 it has been the direct result of a failure of the community to keep garbage away from bears,” said Myroniuk.

“To say we are getting better isn’t quite good enough because we are still having problems. It only takes one or two people that are opening up a buffet by not keeping their garbage secure.”

Depending on where you live in the Central Okanagan, bears may be front of mind and something you deal with on a regular basis (Peachland) or you may think there is no chance of a human-bear conflict (downtown Kelowna).

But Myroniuk says the Central Okanagan is in the heart of bear country as its orchards and fruit trees are very attractive for bears.

“We’ve created better bear habitat (in the Central Okananan) in a lot of ways by our development and with our orchards. We’re right smack dab in the middle of bear country and in some ways we are baiting them to our community with all these orchards and vineyards and lush

The conflict between bears and people in the Central Okanagan starts when local residents don’t make a sufficient effort to keep their garbage secure. vegetation and garbage,” he said.

“We are providing them a year round food source if we are not dealing with our garbage properly.

“Quite often we are dealing with bears in January that should have long since been sleeping but if they have that year-round food source they don’t go into hibernation.”

So far this year, there have been reports of bears in West Kelowna, East Kelowna, Peachland, Joe Rich and Lake Country. On average, bears have started to appear this year a few weeks earlier than usual.

And Myroniuk says bear and human conflicts are going to continue until the public decides it’s enough of an issue to push local governments to do more.

“I think the public needs to decide

if this is an important issue to them,” he said. “Then it works its way up to local government to realize what the community wants.

“Some municipalities in the province have strict bylaws about how people store their garbage.

We’re just not there yet in the Kelowna area.”

••• For the past 16 years, a nonprofit group that was first called Bear Aware has been working with local governments around the province, providing education, toolkits and offering partial funding to have a bear aware coordinator working for a municipality during bear season.

Now known as Wildsafe BC, the program received application from 32 communities around B.C. this year

and was able to fund 23 of those.

“When a community is funded under our program, we do the hiring and the coordinator is our employee,” said Wildsafe BC provincial coordinator Frank Ritcey.

“They have a training session about reducing human bear conflict.

We teach them the biology of the key conflict species we deal with.

“We provide a tool kit with brochures and printed materials like door hangers. They go back into the community and get the message out to people about managing the attractants and keeping your garbage in until collection day.”

In the Central Okanagan, only Peachland applied to be part of the program this year.

Country nor the Regional District of Central Okanagan submitted funding applications for the program, although other communities in the region did.

The City of Vernon received partial funding while the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen will also have a bear aware coordinator to work with the communities in that area.

Despite pledging $4,000 to go towards the program, Peachland was turned down and offered a partial program, but the municipality declined to take part and instead will opt to apply for the full coordinator position again next year.

“Unfortunately we aren’t able to fund all of the positions,” said Ritcey. “That’s the reality of life. We don’t have enough money to fund everyone.”

Wildsafe BC is almost entirely funded through the B.C. government.

Last year it had a $275,000 budget and a funding announcement for the group this year is expected to come down again soon.

While the group wasn’t able to fund all of the requests it received this year, Ritcey says the only way to properly deal with human-animal conflicts is to have all communities on board.

“Our goal is to see every community in the province serviced

by Wildsafe BC,” he said. “It’s really important that everyone is on the same page.

“The bears and the deer, they haven’t figured out where the municipal boundaries are. We will make representations again to the regional districts about getting them to join the program and to the government to increase our funding.”

When Bear Aware started in 1999, Ritcey says provincial stats showed close to 1,000 bears a year were being destroyed, while a typical year in the recent history shows that number closer to 500 animals being

CO says bear conflicts ‘always, always, always people related’ BEARS FROM A3 destroyed.

“A big part of that is that people are starting to get the message about managing their attractants. By the time we get the whole province on board that number will drop even further,” said Ritcey.

••• In 2009, when the Central Okanagan Regional District introduced its automated garbage pickup program— delivering standard bins to its customers and allowing trucks the ability to pickup without getting out of their vehicle—there was

an option available to the public for a bin that locked.

That would allow residents who lived in areas with a higher than normal chance of a bear encounter to lock the bin until it was put out on delivery day, when the lock would be released by the resident, allowing for

HIGH ROLLERS April 3 to May 31 over $150,000 in Prizes

regular pick-up.

Problem was, the public wasn’t interested and the uptake on the lockable bins was close to zero.

“Initially when we rolled out the carts there was a lot of interest in containers that locked for residents that had historic bear issues,” said Peter Rotheisler, the manager of environmental services for CORD. “We did some research and made some options available, but no one pursued it and the businesses that offered (the locking mechanism) kind of faded away.”

While residents would have had to pay more, locking your garbage or storing it in a separate

building that locks is the number one way to avoid bear-human conflicts.

In the mid 2000s, CORD did have a Bear Aware program but it was eliminated. Currently, CORD doesn’t have a bear-focused program other than to send out press releases and deal with issues on case by case issue if there is a complaint.

“There hasn’t been a lot of interest at the political level to reinstitute the (bear aware) program,” said Rotheisler. “There isn’t an overwhelming outcry (from the public or politicians).”

According to Myroniuk, getting municipalities on board

will start at the grassroots level.

Until the public puts pressure on its locally elected officials to deal with bear and human conflicts, nothing will change, he said.

At this point the 17year veteran of the Conservation Officer Service says the Central Okanagan is lagging behind other jurisdictions in the interior.

“Kamloops has adopted Bear Smart status by making core changes to the way garbage is sorted and picked up to minimize the impacts,” he said.

“It’s time for communities to step up. We’re light years behind some of the other

Messing with WK irrigation systems The public is being asked to help identify whoever is responsible for a recent rash of vandalism to West Kelowna irrigation systems.

In the past two weeks, irrigation systems servicing the newlyupgraded portion of Brown Road in Westbank Centre, the upgraded Wine Route portion of Boucherie Road and the Rosewood sportsfield have all been damaged and/or turned off.

The municipality says the nature of the vandalism suggests the person doing it has a specialized knowledge of irrigation systems.

Kelowna’s Sikh community will bring long-held traditions to local streets this weekend in an outpouring rich in colour, sound and flavour, with the fifth annual Vaisakhi Parade and Celebration.

Vaisakhi is one of the most important events in the Sikh calendar, and celebrated by Sikh communities across the globe in April.

It’s a time when farmers harvested their crops and celebrated the coming of a new year.

It’s also an important day in the Sikh religious calendar—the day the Khalsa was created.

Locally, Vaisakhi is also significant as it’s come to mark a maturation and richness of this city’s cultural diversity.

Kelowna started its contribution to the global celebration in 2011 with Vaisakhi Day festivities, and Mayor Colin Basran said that its continual

“This is more than a religious event,” he said.

“It’s cultural—you can watch the dancing, eat food and listen to music.”

It’s built a reputation for being a great celebration of community, and that makes him

proud on two levels.

“One, on a community level, this brings us together and it promotes inclusion and acceptance,” he said.

“On a personal level, my grandparents were some of the founding members of the Sikh community and…it’s sad to me that they couldn’t

“They would be so proud to see how the (Sikh) community is being embraced by fellow residents, and how the event has helped Kelowna to be a more inclusive place.”

The first Sikh temple was opened in Kelowna May 30, 1982, but the community has seen substantial growth since then. So much so a volunteer committee worked to begin construction on a new facility in 2004.

The new temple was open to the public on April 26, 2008.

The Okanagan Sikh Temple and Cultural Society’s fourth annual Vaisakhi Parade will be on Saturday, April 25.

Rolling road closures will be in effect from approximately 11:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. Times are approximate depending on the speed of the parade.

Rutland Road N. will be closed from McCurdy Road to Wallace Road starting at 11:45 a.m. and re-open at approximately 1 p.m.

Rolling closures will then continue along Wallace Road, Sycamore Road, Sumac Road, Friesen Road, McCurdy Road and Keyes Road to accommodate the parade.

McCurdy Road will be closed from Rutland Road to Craig Road from approximately 1:30 to 3 p.m.

Truck route closure signage will be posted on Highway 33 and Rutland Road.

Detour signs for motorists using Rutland Road as well as traffic control personnel will be visible along the affected residential streets.

Motorists may experience minor disruptions and are advised to plan their routes accordingly to avoid delays.

Transit service will be detoured along Aldon Road. Visit bctransit.com under Kelowna for route and schedule information.

Street parking restrictions along Aldon will be in effect to accommodate transit as well along Rutland Road (Wallace to McCurdy Roads) to accommodate parade marshaling.

Families affected by cancer given fun reprieve from health concerns Scandia Golf & Games in Kelowna will open their doors for a free event Sunday morning for families affected by cancer.

Many of these families are already familiar with Camp Goodtimes, an internationally accredited summer camp run by the Canadian Cancer Society.

However, some are not so that’s why Scandia is opening its doors in this way to in part help familiarize parents with the Camp Goodtimes program.

notes that less than 10 per cent of the kids at Camp Goodtimes are from the Southern Interior Region, something the society wants to change by increasing awareness for this unique summer camp, which has been around for 30 years.

This year, thanks to the generosity of the Coast Capri Hotel and Fairfield Inn & Suites, the cancer society was able to extend this fun at Scandia opportunity beyond Kelowna and to welcome families as well from the Kootenays, South

Okanagan and Kamloops areas.

Education cuts will hit bus riding fees Kevin Parnell

next Wednesday at its regular meeting is the transportation charge, which will increase to $200 per student per year.

Finance committee chair Lee Mossman said there was much debate on the different cuts, but in the end, the savings had to be found and it is unfortunate parents will have to pay more.

“Unfortunately, some of those costs are going to be passed on to families when it comes to transportation,” said Mossman. “I’m glad we were able to maintain a high quality of services without having to greatly impact the quality of education.

“But I’m disappointed.

If there was any way we could have done this without impacting parents we would have.

“But we were put in this position and we had to find a way.”

It appears dipping into parent’s pocketbooks will make up the largest share of a $1.3-million shortfall in the amount of money the provincial government is providing for education in the Central Okanagan.

The Central Okanagan Board of Education’s finance and legal committee has made 14 recommendations on how to balance its budget for the coming school year, including a $400,000 savings by charging parents more to bus their kids to school.

The school board was mandated to make the cuts by the province as part of a $29-million reduction across B.C. School trustees were tasked with finding the savings in areas that did not directly affect students in the classroom.

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

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

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

DR. RYAN HARRIS

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

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

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

Glenmore Chiropractic

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

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

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

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

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

Opinion

Clark has little time for workers losing their jobs To the editor: On April 2, 2015 B.C.’s Premier Christy Clark went live on AM 1150’s early edition. She only had 10 minutes to spare and did not take any questions at that time [regarding hospital laundry services to be outsourced].

LETTER OF THE WEEK She also did not quite have her facts straight. If you are a member of the public and not directly involved the premier sounds very convincing. She was quoted that the potential 175 jobs that would be lost won’t be all bad.

“In many cases where health authorities have done this, those members who used to work for the public authority end up getting hired by the private operators, so many have ended up working in just about the same jobs with a different employer” This is not the case. Thanks to Gordon Campbell’s government,

they used Bill 29 to tear up the B.C. Hospital Employees Union contract.

This law opened up the door for privatization and contracting out thousands of jobs. At this time Christy Clark was an MLA and she voted in favour of tearing up contracts and 15 per cent pay cuts.

These private companies are not obligated by any means to hire any public health care employees. Those who may be hired would also take a major pay cut to minimum wage, not a livable wage, with no benefits and no pension. Furthermore the laundry would end up being trucked to either the Lower Mainland or to Alberta. The only way those who will lose their jobs would have a chance to be hired would be to relocate. Why should we have to leave our homes?

With the collapse in oil prices Clark has been quoted saying: “... my call to them (oil workers) is come home, come home, come home to your province where you were born and you want to raise your children.” She wants B.C. residents to come home and yet

Dumbing down info won’t make it palatable Here’s my shameful secret: I love Kathartic comic books. Love them.

Pithy one-liners, bizarre plot lines, and an exuberant use of punctuation (zoiks!!) are some of the reasons KATHY I have a soft spot for the glorious MICHAELS words and illustrations found on the flimsy, inky paper of comic books.

Not the high-falootin’ kind either, if you were about to give me the benefit of the doubt. Marvel is my cup of tea, although I’ve recently bought a couple of Dr. Who comic books that have yet to be delved into.

Before I get too carried away, the gist of this confession is that I don’t have high brow tastes when I’m looking to be entertained.

But comics and cartoons aren’t where I go to source information that matters. For that, there are books, academic papers, newspapers, interviews with people who have read and studied more on particular subjects than I would ever have the time to do. And last, but not least, there’s Google.

There are so many ways to glean life’s important information.

Perhaps that’s why Kelowna jumping on the trend to explain complex matters with cartoons has me feeling a little disheartened.

One wouldn’t think that an organization that pumps out more words on the minutia of its daily activities than a teenage tweeter ramped up on Red Bull would take to cartooning. You might think they value the power of the pen, or keystroke.

But no, they’ve veered into the land of doodles, like so many others.

There’s now a little ditty about Jack and Diane— or Ron and Christine Cameron—on the City of Kelowna’s website.

Through their lens, visitors are given a little cartoon adventure in budgeting set against the soothing sounds of a ukelele or a banjo. Who knows.

Christine is a shop owner (consignment, so you know she’s earthy) and Ron is a tradesperson (honest/hard-working). They have more kids than the average Okanagan family, but they keep all their

balls in the air just like…you guessed it, the City of Kelowna.

Did you know why we pay taxes? We learn, through this video, that the city is just like us but their shopping “cart is filled with asphalt, road de-icer” and so on.

Did your shoulders slump a little bit reading that?

Mine did when I heard it. Although it could have been the ukelele that did me in.

It’s all a bit simplistic, which is unfortunate because the work the city does isn’t simplistic.

City staffers have their fingers in everything from the ecological to economic health of this region. It’s impressive stuff. Stuff we should know about. Stuff that deserves a proper explanation.

The question is, does anyone care?

This cartoon tells me that they don’t. It tells me that there’s a disconnect that the city is desperately and wrong-headedly trying to bridge through the dummification (word patent pending) of information.

They’re not alone, of course. There’s a growing body of academic evidence suggesting that the

Harper’s one US government has patent ambition: on medical marijuana use Retain power

ALL ABOUT THE PROFITS

To the editor: With all the fuss by governments about the legality surrounding the controlled medicinal use of marijuana, it turns out the US government holds a “patent” on “pot” as a medicine.

That’s right. The patent # is 6,630,507. The holder of the patent is “The US government as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services [a cabinet post under the President].”

A quote from the patent: “Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia. Non-psychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention...”

Well, well. So let’s clarify the situation. The U.S. government claims marijuana is a very useful medicine yet, they reserve the right to arrest anyone who uses it as a treatment. Of

course , this makes perfect sense when you are dealing with government, including our own.

But then, it also makes perfect sense when government partners, aka pharmaceutical companies, are busy developing their, ahem, “highly purified, completely reliable, extensively tested, absolutely safe,” and very profitable versions of “medicine.” Or when those companies are still clinging to the notion that marijuana can somehow be suppressed, because they realize its medicinal uses will pre-empt many of their best-selling, quite toxic drugs, which cure nothing but instead create new symptoms that “require more drugs.”

Drug companies and their federal partners continually warn against the use of homegrown marijuana as medicine, citing lack of purity, consistency, and, of course, the absence of a prescribing physician---who must be in the mix, in order to ensure the “proper dosing” of something they have little or no knowledge of.

Bottom line, it’s too late, the cows have left the barnyard and any manipulation or control by big pharma to suppress, control, contaminate, or genetically modify a natural substance will be futile because untold numbers of people are already safely using marijuana oil, because they have developed this odd idea that they are in charge of their own bodies and won’t be swayed by pharmabacked government bureaucrats and their propaganda.

Grant Baudais, Kelowna

To the editor: President John F. Kennedy inspired his nation with an ingenious idea: ”Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”

The Conservatives’ latest budget proves Prime Minister Stephen Harper is an unimaginative man with one selfish ambition—retaining power. His unspoken message to Canada’s Conservative-leaning minority is simple: Ask what my government can do to buy your vote, not what my government should do for the good of our country.

Divide and conquer is an effective military strategy for warlords, but not for nation builders or international statesmen.

Harper’s Senate appointee, Mike Duffy, is currently on trial for fraud, breach of trust and bribery. Most Canadians are appalled by his scandalous behaviour, but how many of us would resist selling out our principles if we were offered a bribe?

If we vote for Stephen Harper and his cronies based on the ‘goodies’ they put in their budget, we should see an eerie likeness of Mike Duffy (or Pamela Wallin) when we look in a mirror.

You can do something for your country the next time you vote. You can send a message to Stephen Harper that you are fed up with his antagonistic, manipulative and corrupting style of governing.

Young cocooned in bad spelling, triviality MICHAELS FROM A10

forms of communication that used to work are failing. The criticism built into the studies on the subject is that the attention span of society is slimming down and we are collectively becoming dimmer.

In an article in the Washington Post, author of the Age of American Unreason, Susan Jacoby, says our collective intelligence has been felled by the triumph of video culture over print culture; a disjunction between Americans’ rising level of formal education and their shaky grasp of basic geography, science and history.

The issue is also explored in a book called the Dumbest Generation, by English professor Mark Emory. He argues that the technological advances that should have allowed a new generation to learn in leaps and bounds has actually stunted them.

Young people, he argues, have developed “a brazen disregard of books and reading.”

With the focus so heavily on building social relationships, there’s less engagement with groups outside one’s personal understanding and young people are becoming insulated in their own cocoon of bad spelling, civic illiteracy and triviality.

Both authors offer harsh judgments that

HOSPITAL LAUNDRY FROM A10

1she is prepared to possibly send 175 B.C. jobs

to Alberta.

Carole James of the NDP once said “B.C. workers and families shouldn’t have to run from our province.”

Ms. Clark has also stated that she feels disrespected and not taken seriously as she is a woman in politics and feels a dismissive tone from the opposition. Some 80 per cent of the 175 laundry jobs belong to women.

Most of them are single women, single mothers and without these jobs these women could end up losing their homes.

Ms. Clark also stated that the health authority will make the best choice for taxpayers.

The best choice for taxpayers is to leave our hospital laundry in our hospitals. This is the

best choice for our environment as no one wants to see more air pollution due to truck exhaust or more garbage in our landfills due to the use of more disposables.

No one who is hospitalized wants the added worry of infection due to linen not being sterilized properly.

No one wants to see decent paying local jobs sent away from the Interior of the province.

I was born and raised here and I want to raise my two young children here—without my job this won’t be possible.

It is time for the residents of B.C. to take a stand and have your voices heard. Stop cutting back on our health care and stop cutting back on B.C. jobs. It is time to protect our hospital laundries. Keep hospital laundry in our hospitals.

Jessica Guthrie, Kelowna

my experience has taught me may be a bit too broad sweeping to be truly accurate. This community is chock-o-block with intelligent young people reaching outside their comfort zones and engaging the world—oftentimes with the derided social media—in an attempt to make improvements.

Whether they’re winning, remains to be seen.

What’s clear to me, however, is that pandering to those who aren’t making the effort isn’t going to help anyone. Especially if there’s a ukelele playing while it happens.

QUARTERLY REPORT

Dominion Lending Centres Chief Economist Says US Style Housing Crash Unlikely in Canada Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”

Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. The Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the effects of the oil price shock, the natural sequence of stronger nonenergy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.” This will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in financial Dr. Sherry Cooper conditions.

As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 The Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent.

The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent.

Core inflation, at 2 percent, is a reflection of the dampening effects of a slowing economy offset by the pass through effects of the lower dollar.

The Bank is hopeful that global growth will strengthen in coming months to 3-1/2 percent— Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres There remains consistent with their a good deal of forecast in January’s uncertainty in this sequence: Monetary Policy Report (MPR)— While March employment in as a direct result of central bank Canada improved substantially, rate cuts and quantitative easing business investment remains in Europe. Lower commodity disappointing, manufacturing prices will boost growth in some is weak—especially in the auto countries. The Bank also believes sector—and the improvement that strong growth will resume in trade has been less than in the United States after a weak expected. first quarter, which, of course, has yet to be confirmed.

Real GDP growth is projected to rebound in the second quarter First quarter growth in Canada and subsequently strengthen to has been revised downward to average about 2 1/2 per cent on 0.0 percent in the April MPR a quarterly basis until the middle (from 1.5 percent growth in

of 2016. The Bank expects real GDP growth of 1.9 per cent in 2015, 2.5 per cent in 2016, and 2.0 per cent in 2017.

The Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged.

I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and inflation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent--below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast.

Much hinges on the U.S. economy. The April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.

Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets. Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline.

“With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their first-time home-buying years. While many might be priced out of the singlefamily home market, many will take the plunge into condos.”

On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto.

Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energy-centered markets.

news ____ Queensway bus loop to re-open

Kelowna’s Queensway transit exchange will reopen this weekend,just in time to coincide with summer transit service changes planned to go into effect Sunday.

With Queensway’s upgrade complete, the temporary transit exchange area set up on Ellis Street between Doyle Avenue and Bernard Avenue will be closed.

The $5.6 million investment in Queensway transit exchange and road upgrades is part of BC Transit’s RapidBus Phase Two and Three Project.

The improved Queensway exchange includes a unique, allweather wood structure above the existing transit island platform and new transit-only access and egress to and from Ellis Street with enhanced pedestrian crossings.

Meanwhile, BC Transit’s summer service schedule goes into effect on Sunday with select routes seasonally discontinued, including 13 Quail Ridge and 6 Glenmore/UBCO routes and the discontinuation of 4 Pandosy/UBCO route effective June 29.

Service on all three routes will resume in September. Check out all Kelowna transit routes and schedule changes at bctransit.com/regions/kel.

Scouts spark goodwill with project To mark Good Turn Week for Scouts Canada, a Kelowna Scout group is one of 14 across Canada taking the opportunity to launch large-scale community service projects.

On Saturday, the 1st Glenvalley Scout Group will compile donated and purchased items, including essential sanitary products and food into care packages that they will hand out to local homeless individuals and to donate to Gospel Mission.

The Scouts will be assembling the donations from 10 a.m. to noon at the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints, 696 Glenmore Rd. The care packages will be distributed starting at 2 p.m. by Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venturer Scouts and Rover Scouts, youth ages five to 26.

MP applauds new federal budget for its positive news On Wednesday, Finance Minister Joe Oliver tabled the 2015 federal budget (budget. gc.ca).

This is the 10th budget tabled since I was elected to serve the fine folks of Kelowna-Lake Country and I am pleased to say it contains positive news.

First, it is a balanced budget.

Second, Canadians are enjoying the lowest overall federal tax burden in more than half a century.

We have achieved this while transfer payments to the provinces and territories for health care, education and social programs remain at historic highs and all

This budget notes these achievements and more while delivering additional tax savings and benefits.

One hundred per cent of lower income, single parent, and middle class families with children are benefiting from increased benefits through the expanded Universal Child Care Benefit.

In addition to our new Family Tax Cut and lower personal income tax, it is estimated that a typical two earner family of four is now realizing an extra $6,600 in savings.

Seniors living in Kelowna-Lake Country will benefit from the 2015 budget with the reduction in the minimum withdrawal for Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs).

Seniors and persons with disabilities will also appreciate the introduction of the Home Accessibility Tax Credit to help with renovation costs to make homes safer and

Robin Roberts Certified Carpet Cleaning Technician/Oxy-Dry System Developer

Q

We have Berber carpet in our home. When we’ve had it cleaned with the steam cleaning method, it takes a very long time to dry and quickly re-soils leaving a blotchy and uneven appearance. Would the Oxy-Dry system be more effective at cleaning Berber carpet?

A

Berber and low pile carpets do not respond well to steam cleaning. Their looped yarns hold moisture under them which contributes to longer dry times and as the pressure of the steam cleaner’s spray penetrates into the fibers, soil is more easily driven into the back of the carpet. As the carpet dries, the soil has a shorter distance to travel up the fiber leaving a re-soiled appearance in a shorter time. Although steam cleaning is said to be a deep cleaning process, if it were true, then your Berber carpet would not have wicked soil back to the surface.

On Wednesday, Downtown Kelowna celebrated Earth Day by engaging in the Downtown Butt Grab campaign, aimed at reducing harmful cigarette waste and create a healthier community by minimizing tobacco related litter in an effort to keep the environment free of toxic waste. “To celebrate Earth Day, the Downtown Kelowna Association decided to hit the streets to pick up butts,” said DKA executive director Peggy Athans. “Our Clean Team does this every day and it’s unfortunate that people think it is appropriate to discard their butts by throwing them on the ground for someone else to pick up. We hope to educate people on how harmful it is to do this and to change the mindset of why this is not an acceptable practice.” According to the Surf Rider Foundation, an estimated 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are disposed of in our environment annually worldwide.

The Oxy-Dry system is a better choice because it utilizes its exclusive ozone boost system. Ozone is carried deep into the fibers where it breaks down soil at the molecular level leaving it unable to bond to the carpet fiber and easily removed with vacuuming. As a result, there is no wicking!

Even carpets that have been previously steam cleaned and have wicking present can be restored to a clean appearance with the Oxy-Dry system. Oxy-Dry truly is the deep clean that’s drier than steam! Connect with us online and call Oxy-Dry…your FRESH choice!

Written and produced by the talented team of Randall Robinson and Pat Brown (of rock band Ten2Nine fame), Raft of the Medusa captures the agony, tragedy and human condition of one of the worst maritime disasters in history.

In the early 19th century the French passenger ship the Medusa sank off the coast of Africa with 400 on board.

Due to a lack of life boats more than 150 castaways were set adrift on makeshift rafts. Two weeks later when rescued only 15 had survived.

death on the raft, and the struggles of Gericault himself.

The production is referred to as “four years in the making,” yet in fact it has been two life-times.

Long-time friends, Pat and Randall have shared their own epic journey through the tumultuous times that can surround those who actually dedicate their life to pursuing music or any other true art form as not only a passion but a career.

Like most other gifted, talented Canadians, Brown and Robinson have had to subsidize their income with ‘real’ jobs over the years to put food on the table.

But unlike many, they passionately live and breathe for the creative and meaningful insight and impact their artistic skills allow them to share with others.

In Raft of the Medusa, they have succeeded brilliantly.

Of course, there should be no surprise at how marvelous the tease performance by the three Okanagan actor/ singers was. Consider this snapshot of some of their accomplishments to date.

Atkinson is a graduate of the Canadian College of Performing Arts with honours in three disciplines—song, dance and acting.

In addition, she has theatre experience working for The Arts Club, Theatre under the Stars, and the Gateway Theatre Co., in Vancouver, wrote a short play for the Vancouver Fringe Fest, and was the main stage singer for Norwegian Cruise Lines.

She has played the lead roles in Chess, Eva Perone in Evita, and Lady Blakeny in The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Bowman boasts an astonishing musical biography including work in various forms of music and arts.

Highly regarded for his skill on keyboards

and piano, Neville is also accomplished on the pipe organ, French horn, bass guitar and other instruments.

When not playing jazz, country, funk, or rock music Neville has also revealed his vocal talents the past few years.

Known locally for his work in local bands Ten2Nine and Just in Time Neville has also worked musical theatre shows across the continent (including New York) and in other countries, most recently Tokyo.

He has likewise earned respect for his talent as a sideman, arranger, writer, producer and actor.

Since taking part in Showboat, Neville has also played lead or key roles in Sweeney Todd, Camelot, Fantasticks, Venus in Fur, and A Street Car Named Desire.

Brown is certainly no stranger to Okanagan music fans or theatre goers. Probably best known as lead singer of the multiple awards winning rock band Ten2Nine Brown (winning 2005 Male Performer of the Year in Interior Music Awards), Brown has focused a majority of his singing energy on theatre performances the past few years. He wowed crowds in his portrayal of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar and played the lead roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel, Sweeney Todd, and as Ebenezer in the musical Scrooge.

Make no bones about it folks, Raft of the Medusa has the potential to be as epic a stage performance as it is a story.

Raft of the Medusa could well be one of the most powerful, impressive and brilliant artistic stage creations to ever come out of Canada.

But don’t count on me, find out for yourself.

Immortality brought to human dimensions The concept of immortality has been explored in a number of movies such as many vampire movies and in the classic film Highlander.

However, The Age of Adaline takes eternity away from the bloodsucking Dracula and the sword-wielding Connor MacLeod and gives it to a 29-year-old woman.

Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) stars in the title role in this romantic fantasy about a woman who remains ageless over the span of 80 years.

Like other movies about immortality, it explores the loneliness of her existence as she has to move every 10 years to re-establish a new life so no one discovers her secret.

The only person who knows the truth is her daughter (Ellen Burstyn).

Although she avoids relationships, Adaline is about to allow herself to get involved in a meaningful relationship with a man, but a link to her past threatens to expose her identity.

Critics are praising Lively’s performance as well as those of Burstyn and Harrison Ford in a key supporting role.

The Age of Adaline stars Blake Lively (right) as a woman who lives every woman’s dream of being 29 for eternity.

Playoff past with ‘Hawks wears thin 250-869-0700

Warren Henderson Each and every one of Tyrell Goulbourne’s previous four seasons in the Western Hockey League ended far too soon for the Edmontonborn forward’s liking.

On three occasions, the Portland Winterhawks have been responsible for sending his Kelowna Rockets packing—in 2011, 2012 and 2014.

Growing weary of that recurring theme, Goulbourne and the Rockets are getting one more crack at the ‘Hawks as the hardened playoff foes face off Friday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference final.

“It’s not fun losing, especially basically three straight times to (the Winterhawks),” said Goulbourne, 21, who was a rookie 2011 when the Rockets fell in six games to Portland. “They’re obviously a very good team, we’ve had some good teams in the past, but haven’t been able to get the better of them.

“I’m excited to get going because I think

MARISSA BAECKER/SHOOTTHEBREEZE

Nick Merkley (left) and the Kelowna Rockets will meet Josh Hanson and the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Conference final for the second straight year. this is our best chance yet,” he added. “There’s bad blood between us, they’ve stopped us a few

times from getting what we wanted, so I know we’re excited to get it going.”

Goulbourne, captain Madison Bowey and then-assistant coach Dan Lambert are the only

three Rockets to have succumbed to Portland all three times in the past four years, including last

spring’s six-game loss in the conference final.

Based on recent history, it’s no surprise that Kelowna is motivated for revenge against their U.S. Division adversaries.

Still, as emotionally charged for the series as his team may be, Bowey believes the Rockets will be better served by playing a simple game and staying focused.

“It still stings a little what’s happened in the past, especially when you have expectations of going further…we know it’s a good rivalry and what’s at stake,” said Bowey, in his second playoff as Rockets’ captain.

“We also know how much hype this series has had, so we just have to keep a level head…keep focusing on our game plan and the task at hand, and just stick to that all the way through.”

While there are plenty of familiar faces on either side, both teams are also

considerably different than the ones who faced off in the post-season one year ago.

Bowey said with the combination of the team’s core group and the additions of players like Leon Draisaitl, Josh Morrissey, Gage Quinney, Chance Braid and Rodney Southam, the Rockets are as well equipped as ever to take on the ‘Hawks.

“We have the skill we need to go far, and our physicality and our role players are terrific,” Bowey added. “How close we are in the room, I think everything like that can come into play and be a factor in the series.

“I know this team is capable of going all the way, so our main focus is deal with these Portland Winterhawks and it’ll be a lot of fun.”

Game 2 goes Saturday night at Prospera Place, with Games 3 and 4 set for Portland on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Kelowna threesome celebrates Keystone Cup Warren Henderson It’s often said good things come in threes.

The phrase proved to be true for a trio of Kelowna hockey products who each played a key role in the Campbell River Storm’s march to the 2015 Western Junior B Hockey Championship.

Trevor Bottomley, Gage Colpron and Kobe Oishi did their part to help push the B.C.-champion Storm to the Keystone Cup title in Cold Lake, Alta.

NEAL BOTTOMLEY/CONTRIBUTOR

Kelowna Minor Hockey products Trevor Bottomley, Gage Colpron and Kobe Oishi helped the Campbell River Storm to the Keystone Cup Western Junior B Hockey Championship in Cold Lake, Alta.

All three Kelowna players scored goals in

RXK2445

Sunday’s title clincher, a 6-3 win over the North

Edmonton Red Wings.

The B.C. junior champion Storm won four of five games during the six-team tournament, which featured clubs from the four Western provinces and one from western Ontario.

“I knew we had a good team, we set a goal to win the Keystone Cup but when you actually do it, it’s unbelievable,” said Oishi, 18. “I think our team had pretty good depth, four lines that could play, so I think that’s what took us all the way.”

Bottomley, 18, a defenceman, opened the scoring in the first period of the final with a snapshot high over the shoulder of the Edmonton goalie for a 1-0 lead.

Oishi scored five minutes into the second period on a power play to stake Campbell River to a 2-0 lead.

Colpron, 20, scored 16 seconds into the third period to give the Storm a 5-1 lead and effectively put the game on ice.

The three Kelowna

players helped lead the Storm to three junior B titles this spring— the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League championship, the Cyclone Taylor Cup in the B.C. finals in Mission, and ultimately the Keystone Cup. For Oishi, it was his fourth B.C. championship in as many seasons. He won back-to-back titles in Kelowna midget hockey, the B.C. Major Midget title with the Okanagan Rockets last season and junior B gold this year.

“I’m pretty lucky to have been on some really good teams,” added Oishi, who is hoping to make the step to junior A next season. “I’m happy I decided to come out to (Campbell River). It worked out well.”

Colpron led the Storm in scoring during the regular season with 42 goals and 84 points.

Bottomley,18, had 28 points in 48 games, while fellow rookie Oishi had seven goals and 22 points during the VIJHL regular season.

With a successful debut last season on the USF1 Formula 1Powerboat Tour, Kelowna’s Mike McLellan is back for a second season at the top tier of outboard boat racing in North America.

After a hull failure in testing last August, McLellan is eager to get back in the water and get up to speed for round one May 29 to 31 in La Porte, Indiana.

“The hull issue was a blessing in disguise,” said McLellan. “In the course of fixing that we made a number of improvements to the hull and overall performance to the boat

that will hopefully help us improve on our final standing of 12th in North America last season.”

McLellan is back with many improvements to the Seebold Hull and Mercury Power that he campaigned last season but with some new sponsors for the upcoming season.

Autoplace on Springfield Avenue in Kelowna is the title sponsor.

“Having a multi-year deal means that we have stability and the ability to grow and make the team more competitive in the coming years,” said driver

Mike McLellan.

McLellan is also happy about securing Ultra Shine n Seal as a major sponsor for the coming season.

“Ultra Shine is proud to support a Kelowna based team that can show case our product on a North American stage,” said Doug Burtch, president of Ultra Shine n Seal.

Fans will have a chance to see the new look Autoplace, Ultra Shine Formula 1 boat at the Kelowna Floating Boat Show this weekend at the Kelowna Yacht Club.

JUNIOR LACROSSE

Raiders set for the season Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

After missing out on the playoffs for the first time in five seasons, the Kelowna Raiders are looking to get back to the dance in 2015.

The Raiders, with a year of retooling and rebuilding under their belts, will open the new Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League season on Saturday night in Kamloops against the Venom.

Travis Wray, who is back for his ninth year as the head coach of the program, said most of the Raiders’ growing pains should be behind them heading into 2015.

“We were young, last year was a rebuilding year, maybe more than I expected,” said Wray.

“This year we have a good returning corps and some good rookies

coming in. We should have a better year.”

The Raiders will be led this season by veteran netminder Tristan Parece, along with 20-yearolds Tre Mason and River Lafferty. Mason is returning to Kelowna after playing junior A last season in PoCo. Wray will also be relying on a solid core of 18-year-old players, including Chase Bremner, Quinn Johnson-Plant and Markan Katinic.

The top five graduating players from Kelowna midget lacrosse all

headed for the coast to play junior A this spring, but the Raiders still managed to retain some talented local rookies, including Kristian Beech, Brandon Gaucher and Kieran MacKay. Based on several close games at the Icebreaker tournament earlier this month, Wray expects the top three or four teams to be reasonably wellmatched in TOJLL this season.

Vernon is the defending champion, while Amstrong, Kamloops and South Okanagan round out the five-team circuit.

Each team will play 16 regular season games, with playoffs to start in early July.

The Raiders home opener is Thursday, April 30 against the Armstrong Shamrocks. Face off at Memorial Arena is 7:30 p.m.

The Cathedral of Granada anchors central Granada, Nicaragua.

Granada is Nicaragua’s colonial gem Josh Noel contributor

GRANADA, Nicaragua—I happened to arrive in Nicaragua’s oldest city on Sept. 14, a day before of the anniversary of Central American independence.

Upon checking into my hotel, La Gran Francia, a two-storey building dating back nearly 500 years, the receptionist warned me that the next morning might get

a bit festive. If I heard celebrating, he said, don’t be alarmed. It’s just the holiday in action, he said.

It seemed an odd warning—but only until the next morning arrived.

Curtains drawn tight and just a glint of golden light seeping through, I awoke to the sharp crack of drums. And then the roar of a crowd. And the bleating of horns and heaving of tubas. Had I slept strangely late and missed all the fun?

I fumbled for a clock and found that, nope, it was 7 a.m.—prime time, apparently, for celebrating Central American independence in colonial Nicaragua. I wiped the sleep from my eyes, found some coffee and walked down the block to join the fun in Granada’s historic square.

The whole town seemed to be there: boys in polo shirts, men already selling shaved ice from metal carts, teenage girls

in matching green-andwhite cheerleading outfits and women wearing long dresses and holding umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun.

The boys with the drums that had woken me sat dressed in redand-white uniforms at the edge of the town’s handsome, historic cathedral, painted mustard yellow and receiving a steady flow of visitors.

By noon, the party was

BW

finished. But Granada’s historic charms didn’t end with the celebration; they endured around the clock.

One of the oldest European-settled cities in the Americas, Granada was founded by Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba (who named the town for his home in Spain) on the shores of Lake Nicaragua in 1524. The city grew into a centre of trade and opulence as a conservative ruling class

came to dominate the city.

The city clings tightly to those roots. Though relatively small, with a population of about 120,000, Granada remains among the most essential and vibrant examples of Central American history. The chains peppering the capital, Managua— TGI Friday’s, the local Tip Top fast food chicken restaurant— are not here, thankfully.

Instead, Granada boasts generations-old buildings of stucco and cement painted vivid rainbow hues: sherbet orange, lime green, deep grape and beyond.

Without a modern construction boom to its name, much of Granada dates to the 1800s, including, for instance, both the hotels where I stayed: La Gran Francia and Mansion

de Chocolate, which was built in 1860 as the home of former president Evaristo Carazo.

Even the city buses— former school buses imported from the United States—have been painted and refurbished to contribute to the wornin vibe: trimmed with red and green and adorned with a colourful beach

scene, New York Yankees logo, Bible verse or the Playboy bunny.

Not that I was missing it, but I asked a woman working at the hotel whether there was anything modern in the town.

“Maybe the supermarket with the sliding automatic doors,” she said.

I asked if there was a movie theatre.

“The one here is very antique,” she said. “It is better to watch at home.”

Yet, like anywhere else, Granada grinds with daily life. It’s a relaxed, easygoing place, with life centred on the cathedral square, where you’ll see far more locals than tourists socializing, getting their shoes shined and cooling off with shaved ice.

The streets surrounding it are a swarm of horses, scooters, motorcycles, cars, pedestrians and bicycles that are just as likely to carry two or three people as one.

(Three people on a bike is possible with one person on the handlebars and another on the crossbar).

Packed into a maze of narrow streets just off the downtown square, the town’s market sees women carrying babies, hunched seniors, kids, infants, teens, everyone coming or going, buying or selling while bikes, cars, taxis and buses squeeze through the humanity. Raw chicken is for sale, as is cheese in large spongy blocks, produce, shoes, notebooks, clothes, electronics—anything, really.

Granada adds up to the sweet spot between hardscrabble and historic, with just enough tourism infrastructure to ensure that the hotels and restaurants make for a comfortable stay (while also offering world-class chocolate, coffee and rum).

The country gets about a sixth of the visitors of Costa Rica to the south, which keeps it far from being overrun by tourism.

Granada is a tourist centre for its proximity to

But even spending just a couple of days in Granada on the way to the coast is worth the effort. It’s a great walking city, both for the history and for contemporary life.

It even has a mighty little food scene.

Espressonista offers an eye-opening menu of fresh, creative dishes (the breakfast in particular is memorable) and makes a point to highlight the country’s infant craftbeer scene. The Garden Cafe abounds with fresh,

creative and vegetarian dishes and an eclectic menu throughout the day.

And El Zaguan, a tourist steakhouse favourite, turns out to be quite worth the reputation and the fuss.

Between the history, the food, the colonial architecture and the gentle buzz of activity, the 7 a.m. Granada wakeup call became most welcome before long.

Pollinators at OXA plant sale Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE spreading, non-seeding, well-behaved yarrow with attractive, ferny, silvergrey leaves and a soft, yellow flower.

Rugosa roses are hardy and disease resistant.

Two varieties will be available.

Both tend to sucker and can grow to eight feet if left unpruned making them a good hedge plant.

They bloom profusely in spring and fall and sporadically through summer. The rose hips are large, supplying good winter interest.

‘Blanc de Coubert’ is white. ‘Hansa’ is fuschia pink.

We have three plants well suited to dry shade or part shade.

Persicaria affine ‘Dimity’ (Himalayan fleeceflower) has six inch spikes of white flowers rising from a carpet of glossy leaves. It keeps blooming, without deadheading, all season.

Geranium macrorrhizum (bigroot cranesbill) has fragrant leaves. It slowly spreads to create a 15 inch high ground cover. Pink blooms appear in June.

Heuchera sanguinea (red coral bells) has a base of semi-evergreen foliage.

Out of this rise many fine, 12 inch tall stems topped

with tiny, red, tubular flowers.

Hummingbirds love them. They bloom in May and, if deadheaded and happy, will bloom through the summer.

See more about these plants at OXA’s plant database at okanaganxeriscape.org.

Our website also has a slide show of the unH2O Garden and the story of its creation in 2010.

We’re pleased to have

Sheila Campbell at the sale. A long time beekeeper, she is passionate about pollinating plants for honeybees and will be very happy to give tips on planting for the bees.

••• To learn more about gardening in the Okanagan I invite you to attend my Introduction to Xeriscape class—Monday, May 4 and 11.

Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

GWEN STEELE/CONTRIBUTOR

The Okanagan Xeriscape Association’s annual Xeriscape Plant Sale will be held Saturday, May 2, in the unH2O Garden, 4075 Gordon Dr., from 9 a.m. to noon.

My column today and next week will be about the plants available at this event.

This week, it’s about plants in the Butterfly and Mediterranean Gardens.

They all attract a wide variety of pollinators adding a lively dimension to the garden.

Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ (catnip) puts on a stunning display from late April to July and again in late summer. Plants are 18 inches high and wide with dense sprays of tiny blue flowers complimenting the gray foliage.

Coreopsis ‘Zagreb’ has vivid, light-green, ferny foliage that contrasts well with other foliage textures and colours.

It is covered in a mass of small, bright-yellow daisies from June through September.

‘Zagreb’ and ‘Walker’s Low’ are very droughttolerant and look good together.

Salvia ‘Caradonna’ is twenty inches tall with spikes of deep blue flowers on purple stems.

The main flush of bloom is in June. Side shoots continue flowering into August.

Achillea ‘Moonshine’ (yarrow) has a similar bloom pattern and makes a good companion with ‘Caradonna’.

Everyone has a story to tell, but don’t always know how to tell it to others.

So the Mission branch of the Okanagan Regional Library wants to help storytellers become more confident by hosting a storytelling workshop, led

by Sheila Dyer.

Dyer is a storyteller, actor and educator who believes stories are for all ages and that everyone has one to tell.

Her personal approach uses physical animation, accents, rhythm, tone of voice, pacing and a lifetime of experience.

The workshop will take place Saturday, 1 p.m., at the Mission library branch, 4105 Gordon Dr. Call 250-764-2254.

Interior Health makes plea for parents to immunize kids You don’t have to be a superhero to have the power to protect your community from harm, according to Interior

Health.

IH says making sure your immunizations are up to date helps protect you, your family and your

community from serious vaccine preventable diseases like measles, mumps and whooping cough.

Kelowna

Autism Awareness Walk

Measles outbreaks this year in Disneyland and Ontario and last year’s large outbreak of 400 cases in the Fraser Valley are reminders of why immunization is important, states IH. “An immunization rate of at least 90 per cent helps protect vulnerable

people in the community.

When the majority of people are vaccinated for a disease, it becomes harder for the disease to spread from person to person,” said Dr. Althea Hayden, IH public health physician.

“When immunization rates drop, diseases come

back. This puts our most vulnerable citizens at risk.”

In the Interior Health region, 71 per cent of children have completed their recommended immunizations by two years of age. The provincial rate is 68 per cent.

Witness to your life before a serious crash Witnesses are critical to car crash cases.

I am not talking about witnesses to the crash, itself. Those can be critical when there is a dispute about what occurred and who was at fault, but the “who is at fault” question comes up in only a small percentage of ICBC claims.

I am talking about a different kind of witness.

A personal injury claim is a legal right to fair financial compensation for harms and losses.

With stoic victims struggling to get back to work as quickly as possible, income losses are often very small.

Expense for medical care is often no more than $5 to 10,000.

The most significant “harms and losses” are often the various ways injuries have an impact on you; impacts that can continue indefinitely.

One impact is the ongoing “experience” of symptoms: waking up every morning with stiff and sore muscles, the headaches, the pain that comes on and gets worse and worse with this or

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT that body position or activity, the fatigue.

Even more impactful might be increased irritability, lowered mood, a reduced ability to concentrate or “find words”.

Only you have direct knowledge of this impact. You can describe your “experience” of symptoms to the rest of us, but our ability to really “get it” depends on how capable and descriptive a communicator you are.

We might also be distracted by the bias some of us have against ICBC claimants, i.e. that you might be exaggerating to increase the value of your claim.

The other impact is how those symptoms change the way you relate to the world around you; how you live your life.

These changes might be dramatic in the case

of catastrophic physical injuries and severe brain injuries.

Most often, though, these changes are subtle.

There might be subtle changes in how you perform your work duties.

Your experience of worsening symptoms from certain postures will lead you to adapt by finding different ways of doing the same things.

Those adaptations might make you less productive, but only subtly so.

You might enlist the help of co-workers for some job duties that you are not able to adapt to, but your pride and stoicism will lead you to do so as little and as subtly as possible.

There will be changes in your life outside of work. There might be a subtle or not-sosubtle reduction in how often you spend social time with family and friends. When you do, your lowered mood or irritability will manifest

itself in the subtle ways you relate to them.

There will be changes in your participation in physical activities as well.

Only this or that person in your life will notice that your garden gradually become overrun with weeds or is not planted as extensively or at all.

The same goes for subtle or not-so-subtle changes in your participation in walks, hikes, boating, skiing, gardening, and every other activity.

The critical witnesses I am referring to are those people in your life, i.e. the co-workers, family, friends and acquaintances who were there before the crash “witnessing” the way you related back then to the world around you and have been there since the crash to witness the changes.

Those witnesses may not have noted the subtleties as they occurred, but when their minds are put to it are regularly able to provide this critical evidence.

Unbiased to the result of your claim, these witnesses are critical to help describe and

Over the course of three months, these chef volunteers visit the classroom every two weeks, helping students plant and tend to indoor vegetable gardens.

The chefs engage the students in games, lessons, and activities focusing on plant growth, local and urban agriculture, sustainability and nutrition.

The students harvest their vegetables and the chefs each them to cook delicious healthy meals with what they have grown.

Allergies

are a modern epidemic

ROB LINDSAY/CAPITAL NEWS

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

Hypnobirthing practitioner Christy Phillips explains the finer points of Hypnobirthing to an expectant mother at the Pregnant, Fabulous and Beyond Family Fair held last Sunday at the Parkinson Recreation Centre.

The concept of Hypnobirthing is a method of relaxation via visualization and deep breathing, a growing trend among moms-to-be who seek alternatives to medicated births.

What people experience: <I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered Bell Allergy Relief, I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB < For twenty years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On the third day, all of my allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH <Golfing without allergy attacks, I tried all the #24 NPN 80043542 medications and none worked. After taking one capsule in the morning, I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX.

Thyroid Support

Bell Thyroid Support is a new product that has been formulated to enhance the function of the thyroid gland and protect the thyroid as well.

This formula is high in antioxidants and helps to stimulate the immune system. You would think that this is a lot of work for one product, but there’s more!

If you want to lose weight or just manage your weight, Bell Thyroid Support is a great addition to your fitness and diet regimen. Utilizing a blend of herbs, sea vegetation, amino acids, and #78 NPN 80051027 mineral elements, Thyroid Support has the perfect balance of nutritious ingredients to promote youthful performance and overall health.<Bell Thyroid Support was recommended by friends. I was prescribed medication for many years without getting relief. After using one bottle Bell Thyroid Support, my latest blood test showed my thyroid is now normal. I believe your product really helps. Elsie Kauppinen, 85, Atlantis, FL

Question of the Week

Verdict To counteract the wagon stigma, Volvo has even added a crossover version of this wagon called the V60 Cross Country. If you like a sporty and great handling car with supremely comfy seats and enough power for any task, this V60 T6 is fantastic.

The Lowdown Power: 2.0L with 240hp, 2.5L with 250hp and 3.0L with 300hp Fill-up: 9.8L/6.6L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $40,200-$51,700

Futuristic eyewear shows the way ahead MINI is bringing a completely new meaning to driving glasses.

At the Shanghai Auto show, the BMW sub-brand has offered first sight of its revolutionary eyewear.

“MINI Augmented Vision gives an insight into how intelligent connectivity between a MINI car and eyewear into which relevant content is projected might work in the future,” explained Dr. Jörg Preißinger, project-manager MINI Augmented Vision, BMW Group research and technology.

“Working with several Qualcomm companies, we have created an interlinked system and augmented reality eyewear with a characteristic MINI design that revolutionize the experience both in and outside the vehicle. This prototype with its customized, interactive functions succeeds in fusing augmented reality with the brand’s trademark sense of lifestyle.”

Using see-through technology, the eyewear projects information in the driver’s direct field of view without concealing other traffic.

“We are proud to have helped develop a breakthrough augmented reality interface between eyewear and the automobile,” said Jay Wright, vice-president, Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc. “MINI Augmented Vision offers a compelling example of what’s possible today, and what we can expect in the future.”

The technology will enable drivers to enter destination

details outside of the car then transfer the information to the onboard navigation. The navigation will then display from the current location to the vehicle or from the vehicle to the final destination.

Direction instructions in the shape of coloured arrows will appear projected on the road ahead at the turns.

Current speed and posted speed limits will be projected into the driver’s field of view above the steering wheel, without obscuring the road ahead.

A small icon shows in the eyewear when a message is received and the SMS/ message can then be read out by the “car”.

Now this is an amazing feature: A virtual view through parts of the vehicle (such as A-pillars and doors) makes visible external areas or objects concealed by the car’s body parts.

Xtra large Fiat 500 has style along with good handling Beverly Hills, Ca—Winding down an exceptionally sinuous road near Malibu in Southern California, I can’t help but think to myself, “Wow, FIAT was pretty brazen in putting their new, small crossover on such technical roads.”

Switchback after switchback, the turns just keep coming at me. The road is narrow; barely accommodating another motorist, who decides to ascend such a route, so you need to be at the top of your game. So does the vehicle.

But as I weave the all-new 500X through these bends and twists that move faster than a slithering snake ready to pounce on its prey, I also think this vehicle is doing really well.

Steering is weighted to give the driver good feedback.

There’s also a Sport mode that can be accessed through the Dynamic Selector system (depending on the trim opted for), to give you a little more oomph in those kinds of conditions.

For situations where you want more traction, there’s a Traction + mode, too.

auto is that there are many gears it has to choose from, so it likes to shift. To placate that characteristic, simply put it in Sport mode. It makes a big difference.

The exterior styling— whether you’re a fan or not—gives this vehicle character. Its interior is also another strong point.

Furthermore, you have the ability to hook the X up with the brand’s Uconnect system and a 165mm (6.5inch) screen.

A pet peeve of mine on previous FIAT’s was the volume button. A knob has now replaced that. Thank goodness. It wasn’t necessarily a deal breaker for me, but more of a nuisance.

The ride remained comfortable throughout the various environments we drove through, whether on the twisty roads or cruising along at highway speeds.

Additionally, the cabin remains quiet from outside noises, so carrying on a conversation even while accelerating up a hill wasn’t bothersome.

Those in the market who are looking for a small crossover that has style and swagger now have the 2016 FIAT 500X to look at.

Talking of trim selection, there are five to choose from. The entry-level Pop has an MSRP of $21,495.

Then there’s the Sport, which jumps to $25,995, the Trekking at $26,995, the Lounge for $29,990 and the Trekking Plus for $30,490.

Then you can choose between two engines.

The first is a 1.4L, turbocharged, MultiAir that has 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The optional of the two engines is the

Fiat 500X can handle tight maneuvering through mountainous terrain.

2.4L, Tigershark (love that name) MultiAir with 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque.

The 6-speed manual transmission only comes with the 1.4L engine and the front-wheel drive configura-

tion. Meaning, if you opt for the bigger 2.4L, than you’re going to get a 9-speed automatic. However, you can get the 2.4L engine either with front or all-wheel drive. Another set of choices for you.

Cracking the curber code…

Fun fact, it’s the first FIAT to be designed globally and the first FIAT to have AWD. Here are even more numbers for you. There are eight wheel choices, 12 exterior hues, and five interior colours.

I had the opportunity to try both engines in the 500X. The 2.4L definitely feels better suited to the size of vehicle.

The X accommodates up to

five passengers and offers 524L of cargo room behind the second row seats. Legroom in the back is decent, especially for its small crossover designation.

The 1.4L with the manual isn’t bad, but you can feel the engine working overtime to get up steeper inclines. Though I still love it because it’s a manual.

The drawback, some might encounter, with the 9-speed

One size Fits all The Honda Fit is a highly versatile 5-door subcompact hatchback.

It was introduced to Canadians in 2006 as a 2007 model and sells in other parts of world as the Honda Jazz. Like most good subcompacts, Fit offers excellent gas consumption, agile handling and zippy performance. A clever design, however, allows an owner to fit more stuff in a Fit than seems possible and it comes with an excellent occupant protection safety package.

The gas tank in a Fit is positioned further forward to allow a low, flat cargo floor in the rear and its seating can contort to a multitude of setups, to accommodate all kinds of cargo. Its rear side doors also open extra wide, making it easier to get that stuff in or out.

There’s ample headroom for tall occupants and Fit’s cabin feels more spacious than most in this class.

The second-generation ’09 redesign gave Fit a more rigid and slightly longer body with even more passenger cabin space; an increase in engine power and this Fit is (marginally) more fuel-efficient. The extra inner space was achieved by positioning the front pillars further forward.

Rear passengers benefited most with increased leg and headroom.

Fit comes in three trim levels; DX, LX and a top-line Sport edition. All trims are powered by the same 117-horsepower 1.5-litre engine and come standard with six airbags and anti-lock (ABS) brakes. The top-line Fit Sport adds a 160-watt premium audio system, keyless entry, fog lights, a rear roofline spoiler, cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 15-inch alloy wheels and an aero under-body kit,.

Interestingly, the auto transmission versions come with a tire inflation kit instead of a spare wheel. It was a weight-reduction measure that also adds some extra storage space. A proper (conventional) spare wheel was offered as an option

for the original owner.

Although it’s certainly not limited to being an urban runabout as Fit is surprisingly stable on the highway, considering its short wheelbase and trim, tall-ish body.

Yet, some will probably find the high-speed cabin noise level and Fit’s taut ride a little tiresome on a long road trip.

Mechanical reliability is excellent and city/highway fuel economy is roughly the same with the base fivespeed manual or optional five-speed automatic. Using the new five-cycle rating method, an ’09 Fit with an automatic should consume 8.3 litres/100 km in the city and 6.6 litres/100 km on the highway.

The only significant production change to the second generation Fit came for the 2011 model year when an electronic stability control system was included as a standard feature on the Sport edition. It was optional on other editions and it’s definitely a very good handling enhancing safety feature.

Popular cars sell at premium resale prices and the second generation Honda Fit is a prime example.

Beware of imports from the east (do an ownership history check) as corrosion and road salt issues are a concern. If you’re paying a premium price, make sure it’s a primo Honda Fit.

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Having good traction tires helps off-roaders get to where they need to go without being stuck.

’’

Ian Harwood

are part on how your tires perform.

The main function of any tire is to provide traction.

Having good traction tires helps off-roaders get to where they need to go without being stuck. When shopping for an off-road/ on road tire there are a few things to consider. Cheap tires are not the best option because “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here.

Some things to consider are high mileage tires and tread wear ratings. Some aggressive mud tires tend to wear a lot quicker than an all-terrain tire.

The next thing to consider is tire size. You can contact the manufacturer or check tire charts that give you variety of sizes to fit your vehicle. The height of your sidewall is important and should be chosen based on the conditions where you drive your truck most often.

If you only drive on the street then a low profile truck tire will be fine, but if you go off-roading then you are going to want more tire in between your rim and the ground. That way you will not bottom out on the rims when the tires encounter rough terrain off-road.

The size of the rim is a personal preference. Popular today are the larger sized

rims. Just make sure that the rim and truck tire you choose will fit inside the wheel well of the truck and don’t forget to upgrade your brakes to help stop this increase in weight.

The wheel rim width varies from truck to truck. It can be custom made to suit both on and off road driving conditions. The wheel rim width is rounded off to the nearest half inch of the tire. Usually, the best choice is to have the rim width at about 90 per cent of the tread width of the tire.

Adequate air pressure is important for a good tire life, handling and traction.

Look through your truck’s owner’s manual, on the sticker inside the driver’s door, or look on the tire itself to find the correct air pressure that you need to maintain them.

Seasonal changes can affect the air pressure of the tires.

Cold temperatures are responsible for dropping the air pressure of the tires and warm temperatures are responsible for increasing the air pressure. A 10 per cent swing in the temperatures causes a one lb. change in the air pressure. Sudden changes in temperature are a good time to check the pressure of the tires.

You can reduce the wear and tear of the truck’s tires by rotating them often.

Rotating the tires, keeps the tread wear balanced and can really help when slippery and wet conditions occur. A simple rule about rotating your tires is to do it on every other oil change.

Doing this consistent basis, will make the tires last longer and allow a comfortable ride for many, many kilometres. ian.harwood @drivewaybc.ca

These future collectables worth effort to import

By Grant Stoecker Bringing in this selection of cars from overseas can be a major hassle but as future collectibles, they just might be worth the paperwork.

These five cars never made it to these shores while in production but they can be imported now under recent relaxation of import regulations.

1986-87 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth: Ford lacked the ability to create a truly credible performance car in the U.S. for the duration of the 1980s, yet it seemed to produce a slew of turbocharged, high-performance offspring from its European operations. The crown jewel of the formerly forbidden fruit is the Sierra RS Cosworth. Built to fulfill homologation for Group A rallying, the RS packed a mean punch, banging out 224 horsepower from a Cosworth turbocharged 4-cylinder. The first generation three-door model only saw the production of 5,542 cars. At more than 25 years old, the RS is a prime target for importation.

1973-84 Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer (365 GT4 BB, BB

Astin Martin DB7 Zagato, 2002-03.

512): The Ferrari Testarossa was a favourite here in the late 1980s, but its predecessors, the 365 GT4 BB and BB 512, remained forbidden fruit. Providing the silhouette for the future Testarossa, the Berlinetta Boxers provide connoisseurs of the prancing horse a unique alternative to the car that adorned the walls of every child from 1984 to 1996. With a production run of under 4,000 cars, the Berlinetta Boxer is a guaranteed classic from the hills of Maranello.

1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R: The R32 Nissan GT-R saw the revival of the legendary GT-R, a nameplate that had not been used by Nissan in nearly two decades.

CONTRIBUTED

Attaining its cult classic status as “Godzilla” was not hard for the GT-R, as

the car’s twin turbo 6-cylinder was good for a stock 330 horsepower and tuning houses can easily bring that up to 600—impressive even by today’s standards.

With power going to all four wheels, the GT-R was one of the first super cars to utilize all-wheel drive.

Thanks in large part to its starring role in a slew of street-racing movies in the 1990s and 2000s, the GT-R will likely maintain its cult status for years to come.

2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic: The 997 generation

of the Porsche 911 had a smattering of limited edition variants—the Turbo S, the GT3 RS 4.0, the Speedster and the GT2 RS—but none of them is nearly as rare as the Sport Classic.

Created to be a limited run of only 250 cars, the Sport Classic is a throwback to the 1970s 911 Carrera RS. The Sport Classic features some of the most beloved options of the original 911s, including a ducktail spoiler, black Fuchs rims, a double-bubble roof and painted racing stripes.

2002-03 Aston Martin DB7 Zagato: Aston Martin revived its DB series in 1994 with the DB7. They perfected it in 2002 with the introduction of the Zagato model at the Paris Auto Show, where it immediately sold out. A fitting homage to the 1960s DB4GT Zagato, the DB7 Zagato rode on a shortened chassis, and was powered by Aston Martin’s new 5.9-liter V-12.

The bodywork was a classic Zagato design, and features a double-bubble roof, raised hood and enlarged front

grille, an interpretation emulating the beauty of the original masterpiece. Just 99 Zagatos were originally produced, and were only allocated for sale in Europe, Asia, and Britain. The Zagato body DB7 is bound to be a future collectible.

no other—a 5,000 square foot natural wine cave.

Carved into the granite on the mountainside by evolution and the glaciers, along with a bit of manmade ingenuity it was a natural fit.

The enclosed space is naturally climate controlled and home to the barrel cellar and custom designed stainless steel tanks.

By working with the rock contours the tanks provide maximum use of the space while reducing the floor footprint they occupy.

The vineyard and winery buildings were carefully planted and built in concert with the natural environment surrounding them.

Paul and Julie have thoughtfully transformed this challenging and unique 23-acre mountainside property with both creativity and a lot of hard work since its purchase in 1996 (vineyard planted in 1997).

As for their beautiful wines, Paul and Julie explain, “We limit our annual production to approximately 5,000 cases a year—this enables us the ability to create exceptional small lot releases and maintain our hands-on approach for quality control.”

This philosophy and winemaking style have been awarded with multiple platinum awards, gold medals and two Lieutenant Governor’s Awards for Excellence in British Columbia Wines to name just a few.

Pentâge Winery is open 1 to 5 p.m. daily from May to Oct. 15.
