Belgo school lockdown

The Kelowna RCMP says it is investigating a “false report to police” which shut down Belgo Elementary School for part of Thursday.

The RCMP, the school and the local school district all refused to give details about the incident, what prompted it, what the false report was about or even how long the lockdown lasted. But an officer at the Rutland RCMP Community Policing station did confirm the lockdown took place and that it was over by

With an eye to reduced reservoirs in the hills above Okanagan cities, the Make Water Work campaign launched Thursday.

3:15 p.m.

The school said all the children who were at the school during the lockdown had gone home and no one was hurt in the incident.

According to Cpl. Joe Duncan, spokesman for the Kelowna RCMP, the report to police earlier in the day was investigated and found to be false. But he said he did not know what the report was about.

However, he said anyone found to make

a false report to the police faces a charge of mischief.

When contacted, the school district referred the matter to the RCMP and the school itself said staff were in a debriefing with police Thursday afternoon and no one was available to comment.

The woman who answered the phone at the school office would not say how long the school had been under the lockdown order.

Close-Up

Taking a hard look at the Okanagan’s water needs kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

California’s historic four-year drought is offering a bleak picture of what can happen when water supplies are overtaxed and Mother Nature seemingly gives up the ghost.

In an area that has at times been compared to the Okanagan for everything from its climate to culture, available water is at an all-time low thanks to years of below average precipitation.

Forests are drying up and trees are dying, adding more brittle vegetation to areas already threatened by wildfires.

It’s a situation a climatologist quoted in the LA Times recently deemed “incendiary.”

In urban areas, strict water restrictions are being implemented, while concerns about the viability of the state’s agricultural offerings are becoming daily conversation fodder.

Conditions facing Californians read like the lead-up to any apocalyptic tale playing on the silver screen, and it’s caused widespread concern this side of the border as well, explained Anna Warwick Sears.

Sears is the executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, a local government agency

focused on collaborative water resource management in the Interior, and as the face of all things H2O she’s often handed community concerns.

“Different communities have different problems.

The lucky thing for the water board is we don’t have to deal with fracking, we don’t have a big water bottling factory moving in—there are a lot of ways we are protected from things like that just because of our geography and being isolated,” she said.

“Our big needs are residential water and agricultural water—those are the biggest sources of demand.

“It’s not a crisis in the Okanagan right now, but what we want to do is make it normal to use water more efficiently and make water work.

“If we do, we will have much less risk of running in to a shortage. “ With that in mind, valley mayors and councillors, the Okanagan Basin Water Board, water utilities and retail partners joined forces this week for an early launch of the Make Water Work conservation campaign.

Since it was kicked off in 2011, the Make Water Work campaign has focused on reducing the share of water that ends up on lawns and gardens—estimated to be around 25 per cent.

This year, the focus is on educating homeowners about the range of drought tolerant plants available at local greenhouses and garden centres, brought together as the Make Water Work plant collection.

A number of local nurseries from Armstrong to Osoyoos will offer drought resistant plants that thrive in the area, as well as strategies to go a more sustainable shade of green.

As Erin Trainer, a city councillor in Summerland pointed out, at the program kick-off Thursday, “brown is the new green.”

Cutting back watering schedules and adding drought resistant plants may seem like a small effort, but Warwick Sears said conservation of water is simply the best way to avert a crisis.

“The absolute cheapest way of increasing the amount of water available is to get people to stop wasting it,” she said.

“What we’re asking with Make Water Work is not to have people stop gardening but to do it in a way that makes it so there is more water available for the other things we want and love.”

When Warwick Sears was in California a few years ago drought issues were just coming to the fore, and she said they were talking about cutting down 30 per cent

of the avocado orchards outside San Diego.

“I thought that was horrible because I love avocados,” she said.

“But at the same time I was walking around neighbourhoods and there was irrigation water running down the gutter to these overwatered lawns, it just seemed like such a shame that people were trading off overwatering for their avocado orchards.”

West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater has been on his own restriction plan for some time, noting that one of his efforts has simply been to turn off the tap when he’s brushing his teeth.

The district he presides over, however, is going to have to do that and more, and earlier this year than normal.

Findlater, who chairs the water board, said that the district’s reservoir is sitting at 48 per cent of normal this year, and that set off alarm bells with his council.

The district immediately launched stage 1 water restrictions and is expecting to move to stage two fairly quickly.

It’s also looking at plans to expand its reservoir capacity, so shortages aren’t a problem in the future.

“We are already in a dry area and this year we are facing challenges with low snowpacks, so this brings this whole issue

We’re not California and we don’t want to be.”

In kicking off this year’s MWW campaign, Findlater took the pledge at www.

MakeWaterWork.ca and challenged fellow mayors from around the valley to do the same.

He also encouraged

residents to also join the effort. In addition to saving water, he noted there is a fun element where the community with the most pledges will be named “Make Water Work Champion.”

And, the prizes are even better this year thanks to contest partners KelownaGardens.com, ProSource Irrigation, Bylands and, new this year, Eco-Turf offering more than $8,000 in prizes, including a Grand Prize of a WaterWise yard

upgrade worth $6,000.

The valley has less water available per person than anywhere in Canada but has some of the highest use in the country. And, 24 per cent of all water used in the Okanagan is used on household lawns and gardens with a lot of it wasted.

A contest to encourage people to “Take the Pledge” and reduce their consumption can be found online at www.

MakeWaterWork.ca.

Bylands nursery joins commitment to promote drought resistant plants With the launch of the plant collection, residents are being offered a tangible way to make a difference every time they choose to purchase plants for their yard.

Carrying the drought resistant plant collection are: • Blue Mountain Nursery in Armstrong • Swan Lake Nurseryland in Vernon

• Kel-Lake Greenhouses in Lake Country • Art Knapp in Kelowna • Bylands Garden Centre in West Kelowna • GardenWorks Penticton,

the Bylands Garden Centre.

“Water is a finite resource.

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.

But while Cowley says he is doing it as a tool for parents, the rankings are not popular with teachers or with educators, who say to base school performance on one test is too small a sample.

in rank order,” said Central Okanagan school superintendent Hugh Gloster.

“We have students who are being fully supported and highly successful in all of our schools,” he said.

“We have a variety of different measures we use to measure if students have acquired the fundamental skills to be successful.”

Gloster said schools in the Central Okanagan put together a school improvement plan each year with input from teachers and parents,adding it’s a concern that some parents are using the Fraser Institute rankings to choose a school.

“Part of the problem is this has become highly politicized,” said Gloster. “Because of the Fraser Institute using the Foundation Skills Test to rank schools, we have a lot of parents that are withholding their children and not having them write it. So as a data set its validity in terms of being reliable is called into question.”

Certainly the teachers’ union is against it. When phoned by the Kelowna Capital News, Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association president Susan Bauhart made a terse comment before hanging up.

“We don’t take a lot of stock in the rankings,” she said. “It’s not that we’re afraid of assessments, but this is really old news and our position has never changed.”

Opinion

Benefits of creek’s meanders will last for generations To the editor: Re: Response to ‘Hair-brained Idea to Restore Mission Creek’s Meander, May 1 Capital News.

In our opinion [Okanagan Fisheries Foundation], the restoration of Mission Creek’s meanders is to be applauded as a moral, environmental and economic imperative.

LETTER OF THE WEEK The cost of not repairing the damage done to the river by channelization and diking, is continued flooding, potential extirpation of kokanee salmon and trout in the river, and the loss of a valuable natural ecosystem that survived, until very recently, for millions of years.

If one looks at historical aerial photos of the river, its meanders, natural estuary and flood plains and consider the outcomes of man’s hand in altering this delicate

natural balance in an attempt for more arable land and flood control, it is obvious that the straightening of the river from 33km to 11km was shortsighted, counterintuitive and a huge mistake that continues to take a toll on local land owners, on fish and wildlife and the community in general.

The benefits to our community of partially recreating the natural flow of the river, repatriating old tributaries and natural flood plains are significant and include natural flood mitigation, restored fish spawning habitat and the long term revitalization of the popular Okanagan Lake fishery, as well as a vastly improved natural ecosystem for all to enjoy, and these benefits will last for generations.

Economically, the benefits are also significant, for the millions of dollars sport fishing brings to B.C. annually is proof of the value good fisheries offer to local communities and for far too long we have treated Okanagan Lake and its tributaries with a waterpark mentality.

Let’s all work to make our schools better If there’s one conversation I can guarantee having in the newsroom Kathartic from one year to the next, it’s whether or not we should cover the Fraser Institute’s ranking of schools.

KATHY These rankings, go the MICHAELS conversations, are predictable. And whether they’re too predictable for print is the question.

Reliably, private schools continually reign triumphant, while schools whose student base face more socioeconomic hurdles will likely face more academic struggles that will be reflected in the standardized tests that the right wing think-tank pegs so much of the ranking upon.

What the ranking won’t show, is the work that teachers in those struggling schools put into their classrooms. The way they creatively surmount the hurdles they face, and the many intangible lessons that are successfully imparted in a classroom. Nor will they reflect the sense of community that is so key to the well-being of young people.

The B.C. Teachers Federation is the reliable voice of this view, year after year pointing out that both

the Fraser Institute report and the Foundation Skills Assessments, which are administered by the province each year in grades four and seven, add unnecessary stress for students and don’t aid teaching or learning.

Of course, the other side of the argument is simply that, regardless of the predictability, parents deserve to know as much information as they can about the schools their children attend. The B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils has continually voiced that view, pointing out that the tests provide important information about the effectiveness of a school’s programs.

And I agree. Knowledge is power, after all.

If a school is at the bottom of the barrel on these listings, then parents should know so they can find out why.

As far as I can see, the best thing we can do as parents and residents of B.C. is have a serious conversation about what ails and fans the sails of

our schools on a regular basis, not just when teacher contract negotiations come to the fore.

And if nothing else, the ranking—be it ever so superficial—makes way for that to happen.

Does the school near you perform poorly because there are special needs or language barriers in classes that aren’t being addressed? Are they not being addressed because of a lack of funding? Is there something that can be done to lobby for that funding?

Are there teachers who aren’t up to snuff? Can we ask this question? And what do teachers have to say about these tests? I don’t care what the union has to say. I care what the teacher in the classroom at my neighbourhood school is facing and what’s being done to surmount it.

The only thing that should matter is getting everyone on the same page so we can collectively improve the conditions we were told during the last teachers’ strike were so awful.

So, bring on the ranking and let’s hash out what we can do to make things better.

Disabled senior watches as scooter stolen

To the editor: To the young man seen loading my electric burgundy gio scooter into the trunk of your car and racing off. I would just like you to know that you stole it from a senior with a severe disability.

I had saved a few dollars each month from

my government disability cheque (which isn’t much to begin with) for over a year so I could buy that used scooter. I then saved up all winter so I could buy a new battery for it.

I finally had transportation that would give me some independence and allow me to get out into the community more often. I was

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Harper’s legacy on transparency is dismal

To the editor: Liberal Party of Canada candidate for Kelowna-Lake Country Stephen Fuhr recently made a strong plea for transparency.

(Stretching the Credibility of Balanced Budget Claim, April 29 Capital News) Justin Trudeau’s bill The Transparency Act would have required accountability by all members of Parliament. Indeed, Liberal MPs and Senators have been posting online detailed, itemized expenses since October, 2013. The Conservative government defeated the bill on second reading. Shame on them.

Alas, local MP Ron Cannan, who had previously in April 2006 spoken so strongly about the necessity of real accountability, joined in with the conservative puppets and voted to defeat Trudeau’s Transparency Act. But that’s the way the system works. You do what you are told to do by the leader.

In this case the leader is an authoritarian ideological power bully intent on destroying the institutions on which Canada was built. He has politicized the public service, muzzled all the federal government scientists, dismantelled the Canadian Wheat Board, cut funding to the CBC to bring it to its knees and, internationally under his ideological vent, Canada is last in the ranking of 27 nations on the protection of the environment.

Canada is also the only nation to withdraw

from the UN convention to fight drought.

And just look at his appointments. He enlisted disbarred lawyer Bruce Carson, who had previously been convicted of theft and fraud, to the PMO as chief policy analyst.

He hired Arthur Porter, MD, to run the Intelligence Review Committee—a highly sensitive position, the watchdog over CSIS. Porter is now facing multiple charges of fraud, accepting a bribe and other criminal wrongdoing. He is currently in a Panamanian jail fighting an extradition order to return to Canada to face the charges.

Finally, on this note we have the appointment of Senators Brazeau, Duffy and Wallin, all facing criminal charges.

Need I say more? Yes. Let’s not forget the $50 million spent in Tony Clement’s riding which Parliament approved after it was told that it was being used to control border congestion. Clement’s riding is nowhere near the border.

Back to the Trudeau bill. Are we going to continue putting up with the lack of transparency and accountability in this oneman government?

We can do better. We must do better.

on or sit in, who cares if its true health and ecological value are diminishing year by year?

Not to mention the cultural value of the river and fish to our local First Nations, and the historical kokanee runs that are now a mere fraction of their prior abundance when the river ran red with spawning fish. Tourism in general is a $4 billion industry in B.C. and dead rivers and disappearing fish runs are not going to help sustain it, they will serve only to embarrass us as we explain how ‘it used to be a paradise.’

Consider the tourism value of the Adams River sockeye run to the Shuswap and the now renewed Okanagan River Sockeye runs value to Osoyoos, which has been a boon to the local city council. In Penticton, the city council is protecting the remaining oxbows and revitalizing its channelized portion of the Okanagan River and tributaries, as it sees the value of healthy rivers and fisheries to its local tourism and community as a whole.

especially looking forward to scooting around on it from now until next winter.

You stole from me young man but you didn’t steal my reasons for being happy to be alive. I hope you enjoy it as much as I might have.

Lorne Ernewin, Kelowna

Kelowna is, thankfully, seeing the same push to protect remaining wetlands and restore creeks and rivers that support the fish and wildlife, and taxpayers should and do revel in having these areas to enjoy, as do tourists who pay far more than us for the privilege while contributing to the economic health and prosperity of our community.

Dog parks, green spaces, sports fields and parks in general are always of great value to taxpayers and communities, but natural beauty and real and lasting value, both recreational and economic, also lies in healthy wetlands, lakes, rivers and forested land that support fish and wildlife within and around our communities. For this natural beauty draws in tourists and residents alike, making Canada one of the most amazing places in the world to live in and visit, and a country to be truly proud of. We should all be proud of local efforts to restore and maintain that kind of lasting natural value here in Kelowna.

To the editor: Statistics Canada reports 411,500 Canadians have myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME): a neuroendocrineimmune disease of unknown etiology, with no standard lab test, no cure and less than 10 per cent recover.

Children and adults get ME. Diagnostic and treatment knowledge are lacking. Federal research funds are extremely deficient at 52 cents/patient/year.

Recently, two prominent USA health departments, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), urged an increase in research, diagnosis and treatment. The IOM has developed streamlined diagnostic criteria, and say: “ME/ CFS is a serious, chronic, complex, systemic disease that often can profoundly affect the lives of patients.”

The NIH reports there is strong and reproducible evidence of dysfunction and abnormalities in ME patients’ biologies.

For further information please see www. iom.edu/MECFS and www.mefminfo@ mefmaction.com Cindy Downey, Lake Country

Dog park To the editor: I think a poll on the on-going controversy of off-leash dog parks would be a good idea.

City hall has said they are in the long-term process of turning some of the lakefront land they are buying just north of Sutherland Park, into a possible dog park. I suggest polling your readers how they feel about making the section north of the Sutherland Park boat launch, an off-leash dog park. I was given a warning ticket for not having my dog on leash yesterday by two RDCO officers at Sutherland Park. They both said they would sign a petition as they didn’t believe the bylaw was a good one.

Escorted parole release granted to attend church Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A Kelowna woman sentenced to life in prison for the 1998 killing and dismemberment of her husband has been granted escorted release from prison to attend

weekly church services.

The Parole Board of Canada approved Ronda Petra Black’s application for escorted temporary absences for the purpose of personal development at an April 21 hearing.

The aim, said the report, is to allow the

now 48-year-old to participate in specific treatment activities—such as church—so she will be better able to reintegrate into the community as a law abiding citizen.

At the same hearing Black, who is serving a sentence of life in prison

STARTS THURSDAY MAY 7, 2015

for the second degree murder of husband Keith Black in 2007, was denied escorted and unescorted temporary absences to visit family and day parole.

The parole board outlined its decision in a document released Wednesday.

“You (Black) took an innocent man’s life in a brutal and violent manner.

You then disrespected the victim further by hiding the body and keeping his

family members ignorant of his death. Only after years and after an intense police investigation, were you forthcoming about your role in the murder,” reads the report.

“You continue to blame the victim in some manner. By so doing, you have not yet taken full responsibility for the murder. You have demonstrated that you can be highly susceptible to the influence of negative associations.

“You admit that your criminal behaviour can extend beyond the (said) offence. At today’s hearing you continued to explain that you were unable to consider the consequences of your murderous actions.

“However, in the next breath, you explained how you had given consideration to avoiding arrest and detection.

The board found these two points to be inconsistent.”

Dr. David Wikenheiser

The parole board also pointed out that Black had consistently blamed a dead family member.

Black pleaded guilty to the 1998 second degree murder of her husband in 2007, although a Mr. Big investigation into the crime got underway three years after his disappearance.

Speaking to who she believed were members of an organized crime organization, she eventually claimed she had killed her husband to save herself.

She said Keith had put out a contract on her life, and hired mutual friend “Crazy” Howard Steadman to do the job.

Steadman, Ronda said, told her about the plan and on July 20, 1998, when her husband went to the basement to have a nap, she stabbed him in the jugular with a hunting knife. She wrapped the body in a tarp, dragged it upstairs and into her car—while their infant son watched—and drove it to Steadman’s home in Exshaw, Alta.

Steadman proceeded to cut off Keith’s head and hands and they together concealed the body near Canmore.

In 1999, a hiker discovered Keith’s skull, although police could not identify it until Steadman exposed the location of the remains in June 2003.

The pair were arrested soon after that and Steadman was later convicted of accessory to murder after the fact.

He tried to appeal the conviction, but his application was denied.

Although the parole board did take issue with some of Black’s behaviour since her arrest—such as a propensity to blame the victim—they also pointed out that she had a package of certificates and letters that indicated she had participated in a number of employment opportunities and volunteer work, and had demonstrated positive behaviour while incarcerated.

That behaviour allowed her to successfully cascade from maximum security to minimum security, and eventually into escorted releases.

Her interactions with staff and other inmates are respectful and she has not received any institutional charges or been involved in any incidents.

Daughter’s struggle with arthritis inspirational to her mom Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

When Louise Boisvert’s daughter was four, she was diagnosed with acute juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

“I knew something was wrong, but when the doctors came up to me and said they ruled out everything else, I thought, ‘OK. Arthritis. That’s it’?

She just needs some cold packs?’”she said.

The reality, however, was much more complicated.

The condition, she explained, is extremely painful and caused as the immune system ramps

up against a phantom threat, creating fluid that attacks healthy tissue and ligaments.

The best treatment available, thus far, has been chemotherapy injections.

Louise administered them in the early days and although she believes they’ve helped keep the condition in check, the nine years since the treatment started have been far from easy on Elise, who deals with drug side effects on top of the conditions that persist despite the condition.

Most recently, at age 13, the condition has led her to need two

knee surgeries that will hopefully stop the kneecap slippage that she faces.

“It’s just a lot for her,” said Louise.

“Even I don’t really know what she’s going through.”

In an attempt to try, Louise recently hooked herself up to a suit that simulated the strain juvenile arthritis puts on a person’s body, and she said it was so heavy she couldn’t move.

After the photoshoot, she talked to her

daughter about it, who pointed out that the suit didn’t offer a completely genuine experience.

It lacked the electrical

shocks of pain. “She said she’d wire me up,” said Louise, laughing.

It’s the type of comment that shows her

daughter has maintained a sense of humour.

“She’s a warrior,” said Louise. “And for my husband and I, she’s our

Music and art focal points to raise awareness of juvenile arthritis type ARTHRITIS FROM A13 and over.

“It made her rise up and fight it…when she sings she forgets how much pain she’s in.”

That reliance on art to transcend pain might be something she learned from Louise, who is also an artist.

It’s also the vehicle that Louise is using to try and teach others about the condition, while raising funds to battle the condition.

Three years ago she started the Angel Awards, an event that juxtaposes music and art with educational speeches in an attempt to raise dollars and awareness.

KELOWNA ROTARY CLUB

Pro Am golf tournament keeps shooting higher for fundraising expectations with Rotary is one funnel for focusing that ability to reach out and help others.

Dickson said his own example is one of helping out rake bunkers and had out water at last year’s pro am tournament, to being more involved in the organization of it this year.

“I have been very impressed by seeing these Rotarian business leaders who are very organized in their business and personal lives, and you see them take on a project like this and how well run it is. It’s amazing to see,” he said.

“There is a tenacity and a drive to make things happen.”

followed by a wind-up banquet.

Dickson said the tournament is another example of how the Rotary Club is continually prepared to step up and meet the needs of the community.

Dickson said he came to get involved in Rotary after a career as a social services contractor for Community Living BC, getting caught up in the commitment of Rotarian business leaders to help or improve their community.

“All the heavy lifting can’t be done by government alone,” said Dickson. “I think it’s on our DNA to be a social group as people, to naturally help other people out in times of need.

He said corporate and business owners and employees involved

The Delta Grand Hotel team recently presented United Way CSO staff with a cheque for $2,288.35, which was the proceeds from the recent Easter Carnival. This also included a donation from Papa John’s Pizza, which raised more than $370. The donation will go into the United Way 2015 Campaign and community fund. In the photo (from left) are Daniel Bibby, general manager of the Delta Grand; Shelley Gilmore, United Way CSO executive director, Allison Fallis, Delta Grand social media and marketing manager; and Shari Avery, Delta Grand director of people resources.

involved in organizing the tournament.

While golf tournament fundraisers in the Central Okanagan are nothing new and the Rotary tournament has been around for more than 20 years, Dickson said the Rotary Pro Am was taken to another level starting about a decade ago.

He credits the involvement of fellow Rotarian Bill Redmond’s organizational skills for helping elevate the tournament proceeds over the past 10 year.

“The other unique aspect of our tournament is the involvement of the pros, many who are from the Okanagan and some from Vancouver, who are attracted by prize money.”

Roleplaying forwards key for Rockets

250-869-0700

‘Tremendous Series’ expected Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Warren Henderson Rodney Southam and Chance Braid couldn’t be happier to be Kelowna Rockets.

For the Western Conference champs, the feeling is clearly mutual.

In acquiring Southam from Tri-City in November and Braid from the Prince George Cougars in January, the Rockets were looking to add grit to the lineup and character to the dressing room.

In the two role-playing forwards, head coach Dan Lambert said the Rockets got precisely what they bargained for.

“I think they’ve brought good physicality to the lineup,” said Lambert. “Both are guys that will do whatever it takes for their team and teammates, all those dirty jobs that a lot of people don’t want to do. They’ve been a big part of our playoff run.”

While the two forwards are not as high profile or as high scoring as marquee acquisitions Leon Draisaitl and Josh Morrissey, they are no less appreciated by their teammates or coaching staff.

“Probably the biggest thing with them is they’re both really good guys, good people and they fit in because of their attitudes and their

For Southam’s part, the 18-year-old Saskatoon native is eager to play any role asked of him.

After all, when the season began, Southam really didn’t expect to be playing in May. “It’s crazy,” said Southam. “I never really pictured myself being in this position, I guess nobody can until it

The Rockets and Wheat Kings open up the Western Hockey League championship series this weekend with Games 1 and 2 tonight and Saturday in Brandon.

Games 3, 4 and 5 will go next Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Prospera Place. @capnewsports.ca

Last spring, Kelly McCrimmon’s Brandon Wheat Kings had their WHL championship hopes quashed in the second round by the eventual Memorial Cup champion Edmonton Oil Kings.

The Kelowna Rockets were stopped in their tracks by the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Conference final.

When the Rockets and Wheaties face off Friday night in Brandon, McCrimmon expects to see a pair of hungry teams who are poised to take the next step.

“I think both organizations had a feeling that if they got to the fourth round, we might just be seeing each other,” said McCrimmon, Brandon’s head coach and GM, who was named WHL executive of the year on Wednesday in Calgary.

“I think what you’re going to see is two good teams matching up.

The (Rockets) have been good for a while with all those 50 win seasons and they’ve complimented their team this year with some big additions to their lineup.

“We felt last year was an important part of the process for us, we were beaten by the champs (Oil Kings),” McCrimmon added. “We feel like that hardened us, too.”

There wasn’t much to separate the Wheat Kings and Rockets during the

regular season, as both teams won 53 games.

Brandon finished just two points ahead (114 to 112) in the WHL’s overall standings.

In the eyes of some, including Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton, the Wheat Kings’ trajectory to the top perhaps came sooner than was forecast and are making a run before many anticipated.

“Kelly has done a real good job over there,” Hamilton said. “It’s a team composed of high draft picks, they’ve added some pieces, and they’re built with a lot of speed. I think (the series) is going to be interesting.”

With the additions of veterans Reid Gow and Morgan Klimchuk this season, a skilled and active defence, good depth at forward and solid goaltending from Jordan Papirny, McCrimmon said the Wheat Kings are right where they hoped they’d be come early May. He also knows the Rockets won’t be content either unless there’s a trip to the Memorial Cup in the offing.

“Our guys had real high goals from the start, we’ve been able to beat three teams to get here, so we’re excited about the opportunity,” McCrimmon said. “We’ve watched Kelowna from a distance, we’ve sort of been chasing each other down the stretch. With

Two WHL awards for BANTAM DRAFT Rockets draft second Foote brother Kelowna Rockets Another stellar regular season has yielded two major Western Hockey League awards for the Kelowna Rockets.

On Wednesday in Calgary, forward Rourke Chartier was named the league’s most sportsmanlike player, while the Rockets organization won the WHL Business/Marketing award.

In his third WHL campaign, Chartier scored 48 goals and 82 points in 58 games to finish 14th in league scoring while at the same time taking just nine minor penalties for 18 total penalty minutes.

“This is a huge honour,” said Chartier in accepting the award.

“I guess I’m just lucky to play on a great team with a lot of great players.

I’ve been given a lot of opportunity and that’s been huge.”

The 19-year-old from Saskatoon, Sask., has amassed just 34 penalty minutes in 188 career regular-season games.

Chartier was the Rockets first-round pick, 15th overall, in the 2011 WHL

Rourke Chartier

Bantam Draft and was selected in the fifthround, 149th overall, by the San Jose Sharks in the 2014 NHL Draft.

“Rourke is very deserving of this award,” said Rockets President/ GM Bruce Hamilton. “He has had a great year and we are very proud of his efforts.”

Meanwhile, the Rockets organization was awarded the WHL Business/Marketing award for its community based marketing campaign and fundraising efforts.

“We’re very proud of this award,” said Rockets marketing director Anne-

Marie Hamilton, who accepted the award. “This is great recognition for our whole staff, the many volunteers, the rink crew and everyone that helps bring it all together. We have great support from the community, from our fans, the groups we work with and all of our generous sponsors, both at the local and league level.”

The club worked with many organizations including the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Canadian Cancer Society and Kelowna Fire Department to raise money in the community.

The Kelowna Rockets Alumni Foundation has also helped raise in excess of $300,000 over the last 13 years for the Kelowna General Hospital.

Other Rockets up for WHL awards as Western Conference nominees but who did not win the WHL award were defenceman Joe Gatenby as scholastic player, Dan Lambert as coach of the year and Hamilton as the executive of the year.

Having dealt away their top pick to Prince Albert as part of the Leon Draisaitl trade, the Kelowna Rockets didn’t have a choice until the second round of Thursday’s WHL bantam draft.

Still, the Rockets landed a player they very much wanted by taking forward Nolan Foote with the 43rd pick overall.

“Nolan is the player we wanted all along,” said Rockets’ GM Bruce Hamilton. “We’re thrilled to get him.”

The son of former NHL defenceman Adam Foote, the 6-foot-1, 150-pound Foote, from Englewood, Colorado, is the younger brother of defenceman Cal Foote who the Rockets chose in the 2013 draft.

“It’s exciting to be drafted by Kelowna, where you guys are located in an amazing spot and it’s a great organization,” said Nolan Foote.

“Also I might have a chance to play with my brother Cal.” In the third round, Kelowna took Ted Brennan, a 6-foot, 170-pound centre from Malahat.

In the fourth round, the Rockets had two choices, taking defenceman Konard Belcourt from

Based on his start to the 2015 season, Kelowna’s Aaron Stroda looks to be on the right track to qualify for the PanAm Junior Athletics championships in Edmonton.

Stroda, ranked the No. 1 junior hammer thrower in Canada last year, turned in a solid effort last weekend at the Kajaks throws meet in Richmond.

“The conditions were great and I reached my goal of throwing a new

Aaron Stroda

PB and to make standard for nationals and the Junior PanAm Games 2015,” Stroda said. “All throws were around the 59-metre mark and my best one was 59.89m.

“It was a great start into the season and I hope to make the team for PanAms in the summer,” he said. “I am good for some mid60 metre throws this summer. Training has been very well all winter and spring.”

Stroda had planned to compete May 2 in Abbotsford at the laFarge High Performance Meet, but when that was cancelled he managed to get into the Kajaks meet in time.

The nationals go July 3 to 5 in Edmonton, with the PanAm Junior Games July 31 to Aug. 2, also in Edmonton.

“In order to qualify for the Canadian junior PanAm team he will have to place first or second at the national championships with standard in the books, but Aaron has always been a great competitor so his chance of going are looking very bright,” said his coach and mom, Verena Stroda.

Thompson to add power to Heat lineup The UBC Okanagan Heat has added Skye Thompson to its offensive arsenal for the 2015-16 Canada West women’s volleyball season.

The co-captain of her U18 Canuck club team in Calgary, Thompson

is expected to bring her work ethic to both the classroom and the court.

Thompson has powered her way to numerous titles, including a U18 national team Challenge Cup victory with Team Alberta in

2014.

Thompson will graduate from Calgary’s Webber Academy this spring, having achieved three straight years of a 90 per cent plus GPA. Her hardworking attitude will be focused

mostly in the outside hitter position in coach Steve Manuel’s system next year, though the 5-foot-9 Thompson also has experience as a libero and defensive specialist.

In its ongoing bid to convince Interior Health not to contract out its laundry services in 11 communities throughout the region, including Kelowna, the Health Employees’ Union held another protest Wednesday

Health Authority region could lose their jobs if the laundry service is contracted out to a firm in either the Lower Mainland or Alberta, 28 of them at KGH. She said for those who do find work with the contractor, the pay will likely be lower than the roughly $18 per hour now paid to laundry

outside Kelowna General Hospital.

And this time, union representatives said they were buoyed by more than 12,000 signatures collected on a petition calling on IH to keep the existing service in place.

According to Jennifer Whiteside, secretary/ treasurer of the HEU, 175 workers in the Interior

The union wants IH to invest $10 million over the next 10 years to update its laundry facilities across the region, a move IH has so far resisted.

The union considered the investment a “drop in the bucket,” when compared with the overall $17 billion spent on health care in B.C. So the union is taking its petition to the provincial government— which funds Interior Health—and is stepping up its public pressure campaign to save the laundry workers jobs.

For laundry worker Jessica Guthrie, the loss of her job at KGH could have a devastating effect on her and her family, she said.

news _____________________________________________________________________ ACCIDENT INJURIES

Misleading to focus on ‘dollars and cents’ in a civic lawsuit Injured victims usually wait until ICBC has cut off treatment funding before they come to me for advice.

With ongoing pain and mounting bills, they have nowhere else to turn.

That first meeting often begins with the injured victim scrambling to convince me that they are looking for nothing more than what’s fair.

If only ICBC had paid for the medical bills, they wouldn’t be coming to me. They are emphatic that they are not looking for a “huge settlement.” .

They obviously share a negative perception that those with ICBC claims are trying to screw the system—i.e. are looking for something more than fair. They fear that I will judge them accordingly.

I immediately reassure them. Sure, some people come to me with dollar signs in their eyes.

Those people typically

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT have very minor symptoms, if any, and have been somehow led to believe that claim value has to do with the size of a crash, not the size of the injury.

I can see them coming a mile away and I simply won’t act for them.

I explain that there is no such thing as a “lottery win” type of windfall in our legal system.

Injured victims can achieve no more than fair compensation for actual loss.

A “huge settlement” means huge loss, and is therefor the worst outcome.

Ironically, a significant part of the work I take on as a personal injury lawyer

is helping to reduce the losses.

I push for and facilitate medical care to achieve as positive a recovery outcome as possible.

I also work to achieve as quick a return to work as can be achieved. Both result in lower losses and therefore a lower settlement.

With percentage fees, only the lawyer benefits from bigger losses and a correspondingly bigger settlement.

The injured victim loses because legal fees leave them with a one-third shortfall.

When people think about what’s fair when dealing with ICBC, it’s the “dollars and cents” losses that they focus on.

The most obvious of those “dollars and cents” losses are the user fees and other medical care expenses they incur.

That’s why a “cutting off” of reimbursement of those expenses most often leads to a consultation with a personal injury lawyer.

A personal injury lawyer is able to explain how “generous” the injured victim’s view of fair is to the very profitable insurance company they are dealing with.

I am able to explain that our legal system values and requires compensation for pain, stiffness and other symptoms, and that an injury that substantially but never 100 per cent resolves commands compensation at some multiple of the $5,000 to $10,000.

ICBC typically offers.

Rice terraces glow in the late afternoon light below Kong Ming village, near Rongjiang in Guizhou province. The Miao people, who are related to the Hmong in other parts of Asia, have farmed here for hundreds of years, even raising fish in the water-filled terraces.

In China, bike your way to clean air, quiet McClatchy foreign staff

RONGJIANG, China—On the third day of cycling through the rice terraces and rugged hillsides of southeastern Guizhou province, our group of eight needed a recharge. So we unsaddled in front of a store in Guochuan, a town we’d never heard of before.

As we expected, the store was stocked mainly with snacks and instant noodles.

“Any restaurants in town?” we asked the shopkeeper. “No,” she said. But after some minor bargaining, she agreed to make rice and was soon picking greens from her garden, while encouraging neighbours to contribute.

Within 40 minutes, pickled fish were on the grill, and steaming plates of stir-fried salt pork and greens had been laid out. Kids from neighbouring houses came out to gawk at the laowai—foreigners. It appeared to be the first time they’d seen such oddballs bedecked in bike gear, eating Chinese food while sitting on tiny stools.

Getting off the beaten track is not as easy as it once was in China. Highways, air routes and high-speed trains penetrate nearly every corner

of the country. Even harder is finding clean air, verdant scenery and intact villages. Guizhou, in southern China, offers all three.

A long weekend cycling through villages of the Miao and the Dong people, two of China 50-plus ethnic groups, was a reminder that, amid China’s economic boom, there are still rural areas that are achingly poor, occupied by proud people trying to preserve some of their culture.

Both the Miao and the Dong are known for their elegant weavings and embroidery, including indigo-dyed tunics with elaborate geometric patterns, butterflies and other motifs.

We saw them nearly everywhere on this trip.

One of our guides, Wang Fang, bridged both cultures. Her mother is Miao, her father Dong.

Wang said there are many differences between the two people, but the major one is where they choose to live.

“Dong people like to live near the river,” she said. “Miao people like to live in the mountains.” Asked why the Miao build their villages on such remote hilltops, Wang replied:

“I think they want to watch for their enemies.”

In a China of big cities, Guizhou is known for being a “backward” province. Its villages depend upon subsistence farming—growing rice, livestock and fish (in rice ponds) that are pickled and stored for the winter.

Not many tourists— Chinese or foreign—plan vacations here.

But if Guizhou is somewhat undiscovered, it won’t be so for long. A high-speed rail line now links it with Guangzhou— southern China’s boom region. Some of our group arrived by train from Hong Kong; others (including this correspondent) flew into a new airport in Guiyang, the provincial capital.

From there we were whisked to Rongjiang, three hours east of Guiyang, on a new fourlane toll road that passed through more than 50 tunnels, some more than two miles long.

“Guizhou is still remote, but that is changing fast,” said Bruce Foreman, an Australian who organized our bike tour. “In a few years you’ll be able to ride for days here on nothing but paved roads.”

Based in Hong Kong, Foreman runs Bikeaways (www.bikeaways. com), a tour company that specializes in twowheeled adventures.

For our five-day trip, we were supported by two vans, eight highquality mountain bikes, a mechanic, a driver and the wonderful Wang Fang. Foreman arranged for basic hotel accommodations on

every night except for the second one, when we stayed in a Miao farmhouse.

The Miao—related to the Hmong of Vietnam and Laos—tend to live in fir-framed houses built on posts, with living space on the second floor.

Animal pens and cooking areas are underneath.

“Since the houses are never painted, they develop a rich dark brown hue that is pleasing to behold against the green hillsides,” writes Jin Dan and Ma Xueliang in “Butterfly Mother,” a 2006 book about Miao culture in Guizhou.

Electricity came to this part of China only a few years ago, but now satellite dishes can be seen on nearly

every house. The family who hosted us had a flat-screen TV in the living room, turned to a China Central Television entertainment channel.

Yet those were among the few modern intrusions. The nearest toilet was an outhouse up the path. The nearest water well was about 100 meters in the other direction.

After a sponge bath at the well, I returned to the farmhouse, where people were sitting around an open fire, drinking warm beer and watching Wang Fang prepare dinner. A few minutes later, while sitting on low stools, we dined on tofu, rice, stirfried greens, soup and country bacon. We also enjoyed some stir-fried

houttuynia (called yu xing cao in Chinese), a crunchy root vegetable we had sampled during our first night in Rongjiang.

The evening ended with a sampling of homemade rice wine.

After that, it was a hard but short sleep upstairs, with a rooster alarm clock at roughly 3 a.m.—the beasts crowing for several hours afterward.

Our third night, after another long day of riding, brought a highlight of the trip— Zengchong, a old Dong town on the horseshoe of a small river. After checking in to our hotel, we meandered across an ornate bridge and through alleyways to a spectacular drum tower in 7the town’s centre.

According to China’s National Library, this Dong drum tower is the oldest of its kind in China, built more than 300 years ago. Back in their heyday, villagers constructed such

E

drum towers to spot and warn of approaching enemies.

In Zengchong, the drum tower now serves as a community gathering point. There is a fire that burns continually at its base, watched and kept by a rotation of elders. In a nearby square, toddlers scooted around on tricycles, watched over by shopkeepers and clientele of local noodle joints.

That night, back at the hotel, I met a young family—a Guizhou government official and his wife and baby. They were back in their home village for the “tomb sweeping” holiday, an annual long weekend dedicated to caring for the graves of one’s elders.

Over a post-dinner drink, I started chatting with him, relating (in my rudimentary Chinese) that I was a journalist from the United States. Often such a disclosure makes Chinese people nervous, but his response surprised me.

The team in Michigan took the award winning Doblo from Fiat and modified it to meet our needs. Things like the springs and shocks being stiffer and raising the ride height to help when driving over our rougher roads. The larger engine, running on gasoline will appeal to a wider audience than diesel but some buyers will wish that a diesel option were available here. At first glance, this Promaster City is something new, from a brand that has a lot of experience building smaller vans for urban environments. If you are in the trades and don’t need a full-size vehicle, this type of van is up to the job.

Safety Tip: Every day there are situations where you need to yield to another vehicle, motorcyclist, pedestrian or cyclist. Failing to yield may seem harmless but it’s a high-risk driving behaviour that leads to crashes.

When turning left, don’t let pedestrians be your blind spot.

Five least sexy convertibles ever built “Sex Sells” has long been a popular tenet in advertising.

And sex appeal has typically made it easier to sell cars. The movie industry has always favoured convertibles for their leading men and women, whether Carey Grant, Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Kevin Costner or Susan Sarandon.

Virtually any car becomes sexy when you chop the top, but I did say virtually.

These five cars resist the glamour and glitz that often come with convertibles.

1985-1987 AMC Alliance Convertible: Built in the United States using a 1.7-litre engine and transmission from Renault, the Alliance was very much French in feeling. It was small, mundane in appearance and less than competitive against the best from Volkswagen, Toyota and Honda. It wasn’t cool with a roof and it didn’t get cooler without one. A good measure of its appeal then is its collectability and desirability now, which is nil.

thousands. At first, people will buy a product that is vastly cheaper than the competition, but once the public finds out that it is slow, unattractive, outdated, uncomfortable and minimally reliable, the charm leaves in a hurry. Did a convertible version help the image and dramatically boost the sales? Again, the answer was, “Not really,” a response that was reinforced by a price that was double the cost of the GV Plus hatchback, which had gained fuel injection and six horsepower.

1908-1927 Model T Ford: Ford’s Tin Lizzie has always been rugged, reliable and in a class of its own. But sexy?

Not likely. The roadster or touring car versions may be fun, simply because fun goes with open-air motoring like peanut butter goes with jelly. Sex appeal, though, simply isn’t part of the equation with this American icon, though the story would be very different if we were talking about a 1940 Ford Convertible Coupe.

VI Convertible: Solid, sensible and reliable all summed up Studebaker’s Lark. It was a good car without flash or panache, which had limited appeal to car-mad teens.

There’s no question that lowering the top on the Lark made for a pleasant experience, but it didn’t change the status of this car from dud to stud when it came to sex appeal.

Pick of the Week HONDA OFFERS FUTURISTIC CROSSOVER DESIGN Concept D

CONTRIBUTED

Honda’s Concept D is destined to be the Japanese manufacturer’s flagship crossover in China.

The concept was unveiled at the Shanghai auto show and its shape drew some sharp intakes of breath.

The angular vehicle features a raked rear window and huge rear spoiler plus eye-catching gold spokes.

Japanese automakers unveil the future Rob Beintema contributor NEW YORK—The Japanese automotive corporations came out in full force at this spring’s 2015 New York International Auto Show.

Some companies had more to show than others, spicing their current lineups with promised future products and explorative concepts.

Today, lets touch all the bases with the companies in alphabetic order.

Honda’s Civic Coupe Concept Unveiled in show-stopping lime green, promises a bolder, less boring future Civic with a full lineup of models—sedans, coupes, a new five-door hatchback and even a long-awaited Civic Type R. A new turbocharged VTEC 1.5-litre engine joins the lineup too. And while this story may be about Japanese companies, the Civic will be a very Canadian product with most of the vehicles rolling out of Honda’s Alliston plant.

We also got a second look at the recently released HR-V along with Honda’s FCV (second-gen fuel cell vehicle concept) and Acura’s NSX supercar, both of which premiered earlier in the year at Detroit.

Mazda did not host any new debuts at the New York show, but visitors still paused to look over the latest models in the lineup along with the new 2016 MX-5 and 2016 CX-3, both of which debuted late last year at the Los Angeles show.

Mitsubishi Thve 2016 Outlander was unveiled in New York with a totally reworked front end that, to me at least,

keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

0 84 OWN IT WITH

seems a return to the gape-mouthed Lancer-type grille, after failing to stir the market with last generation styling revision for 2014.

Mitsu is probably feeling a little defensive about the move, busily stressing over 100 other changes and improvements to the Outlander as well.

Nissan Nissan hosted a world debut of a bolder 2016 Maxima, flagship of the company featuring a V-Motion front grille, “floating roof” and boomerang style lights in front and back, while its premier division, Infiniti, held the North American debut of the QX30, probably the handsomest crossover at the show with radical, “dual wave” styling and a lustrous satin finish.

A 2017 QX30 will come to Canada next summer.

The 2016 QX50 crossover was also unveiled with a stretched wheelbase to better accommodate second row passengers and a number of new included standards and cosmetic enhancements.

Subaru Subaru was all about performance at this auto show; showing a tantalizing STI Performance Concept that had BRZ aficionado’s drooling, alongside the Subaru Rally Team USA’s new WRX STI rally cross racecar. The company was also stressing a further concentration of Subaru Tecnica International (STI) product and support for North America.

Toyota The new 2016 RAV4 was added to the Toyota lineup, refreshed with a more continued on page 7

Tim’s win at the 30th annual International Blues Challenge (in Memphis 2014) as Best Solo or Duo, and Best Guitarist (solo or duo), are just the latest accolades in a career entering its fifth decade.

Williams brings to the stage a blend of passionate, gritty vocals and awe-inspiring chops on a number of instruments (including finger-style and slide guitar, mandolin and Hawaiian guitar among others) along with his wry sense of humour and deep knowledge of blues and roots music.

His career began in the coffee houses of Southern California in the mid-1960s and continues today around the world from his home base in Calgary.

Local musicians Gaill and Karl Hourigan, who will open the show, are the core writing team at the heart of The Malarkeys, a popular Celtic folk rock band from Kelowna.

Stepping out on their own as a duo, the Hourigans will have the chance to highlight more of their original songs, dive into old and new songs by other artists and explore different musical genres.

Tickets for the concert, titled Blues Eruption II, are available at ABC Hobby & Games in Dilworth Plaza, Kelowna, Mad Hatter Bookstore in West Kelowna, at Volcanic Hills Winery, or online at kelownafolkclub.ca.ca.

and catch myself thinking ‘that’s stupid,’ we’ll often make an effort to fit it in, to find a way to include it as an honest part of our music.”

Along with Fuhr on guitar and vocals is a number of fellow Winnipeg musicians: Jodi Plenert (cello, synth), Jordon Ottenson (drums), Solana Johannson (violin), and Keegan Steele (synth, mandolin).

In Loving Memory of Linda Ismond October 17, 1948 - May 9, 2013

We’re missing you a little more, each time we hear your name.

We’ve cried so many tears, Yet our heart’s broken just the same.

We miss our times together, things in common we could share, But nothing fills the emptiness, now you’re no longer there.

We’ve so many precious memories, to last our whole life through, Each one of them reminders, of how much we’re missing you.

Sadly missed and always remembered by your family.

WEBER, HEDI MONIKA (NEE WELKE)

May 25, 1937 ~ May 4, 2015 Hedi passed away peacefully at the age of 77 in Kelowna, BC. Hedi will be lovingly remembered by her husband Heinz (John) married 56 years; her children, Lani (Brian), Gord (Shannon), and Lori, grandchildren, Micah (Chantal), Nikki (Justin), Karl, Larissa (Brian), Natalie, Brenda, great granddaughter Avery, with 3 more great grandchildren due later this year. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday May 16, 2015 at 11:00 am at Trinity Baptist Church with Rev. Gordon Fletcher officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her memory to Save the Children Fund 4141 Yonge Street suite 300 Toronto, ON M2P 2A8 or Chain of Love Orphanage through Trinity Baptist Church.

Vincenzo (Vince) Fellini, 83, passed away on April 30 at Kelowna General Hospital.

He was born on February 18, 1932 in Celano, Italy. Vince married Maria, the love of his life, and they immigrated to Canada in 1964. He first worked for CN followed by the City of Kelowna for 32 years.

Vince is survived by his adoring sister Giovanna Menta and his Goddaughters Carla Temme and Lia Sambrielaz, as well as his nieces and nephews in Italy. His dear Maria, his sister Bina and brother Gaetano predecease him.

Vince was an outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping with Maria, his friends and of course, little Blackie their devoted cat. His passion for the outdoors was evident in his very selective choice in equipment, his meticulously organized gear and his love of telling a hunting or fishing story.

A funeral service will be held at St. Pius, 1077 Fuller Avenue, Kelowna on Saturday, May 9th at 11AM, followed by a lunch. Entombment will be Monday, May 11th at 3 PM at Lakeview Memorial Gardens Cemetery, 2850 Dry Valley Road. In lieu of flowers and in memory of Vince, enjoy a day out in nature with the ones you love.

Special thanks to the staff at Three Links Manor, Dr. Robert Williams, Emilio and Dora Vicaretti and Robert and Jacquie Conchie.
