May Days Annual May long weekend celebration in Rutland featured amusement park rides, a parade and other community events, serving as the unofficial start to summer in Kelowna.

Youngsters and their decorated bikes are always a hallmark of every May Days parade.

The military flag bearers led the May Days parade procession along the Rutland Road North route.

The bumper cars were a popular May Days midway ride for kids of all ages. For the first time this year, the amusement ride midway was set up in the Roxby Square parking lot rather than Centennial Park.

Handing out flowers were Kelowna city councillors Charlie Hodge (foreground) and Maxine DeHart.

This dog was given a break from walking the May Days parade route as part of Cooper’s Foods grocery store entry.

RICHARD BULLOCK

Fired ALC chair stands behind protecting farmland

Alistair Waters

prior to the end of his term as ALC chairman.

He was replaced by former Saanich mayor Frank Leonard, whose business experience as a tire store owner was touted by the government in a news release.

The only reason given

by Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country, for Bullock’s early dismissal was that

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Richard Bullock says doesn’t regret taking the stand he took for the protection of agricultural land in this province— despite the fact it cost his job as chairman of the Agricultural Land Commission.

Last week, Bullock, a Kelowna farmer, was “let go” by the provincial government five months

th

1980 - 2015

at the helm of the commission to oversee those changes.

But many in the agriculture community believe Bullock was ousted because he had publicly questioned, and opposed, the government’s plan to allow development on some agricultural land in B.C. The change will come in the form two-tier system that will allow for some development on agricultural land in tier-2 zones if approved by regional panels.

The Okanagan, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island are not included among the tier-2 zones.

Bullock said Tuesday the legislation that governs the commission calls on it to protect agricultural land in B.C. and that’s what he was trying to do. And that’s why he opposed the twotiered approach.

“I think (those in government) thought I was a barrier to that,” said Bullock. “They’re not stupid. They were right.”

But he said he has no regrets and felt he followed the legislation governing the Agricultural Land Commission and the reserve to the letter of the law.

“That’s why I didn’t feel bad about getting booted,” he added.

Bullock’s five-year term as ALC chairman was set to expire in November.

But last week, in a news release that made no mention of Bullock, Letnick announced the appointment of Leonard as the new ALC chairman effective immediately.

The move even caught some commission members off guard, saying they only learned Bullock was out when they heard it on the news.

Bullock said he feels the Agricultural Land

Commission is in better shape than when he started as chairman 4 1/2 years ago, in part because the commission deliberately turned its focus away from just those who own farmland, and instead tried to concentrate on supporting those who work the land—real farmers.

“Just because you buy a piece of farm land, that does not make you a farmer,” said Bullock.

As for what he will do now, he’s not sure.

While he said he will take a few days to “decompress,” Bullock said his straightforward approach of giving an opinion if asked will not disappear.

And he said he will continue to speak out in support of the preservation of agricultural land in this province, which may lead him to run for public

office.

But while he told CBC Radio last week he feels the Liberal government has “screwed” the ALC, he wished his successor well and publicly thanked the people of B.C. for the opportunity to do a job he described as “capping an agricultural career that has had some pretty interesting turns.”

“I’ve been humbled by the amount of support I’ve received in the last few days,” he said. “I didn’t think my computer could handle that many emails.”

And his parting thought about the changes that are coming to the agricultural land reserve?

After pausing for a moment to consider what the government has planned, he summered it up in eight words: “Jeez, I hope they don’t screw it up.”

The University of British Columbia has a very active Centennial year ahead.

Beginning this summer and continuing through next spring, dozens of activities and projects will celebrate the beginning of UBC’s first classes a century ago in September 1915.

The centennial is also an opportunity to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the UBC Okanagan campus, which opened in September 2005.

“We’re actually celebrating two centuries—a century of achievement and contribution since 1915, and the exciting century ahead—which we know will be a time of exponential change,” said UBC president Arvind Gupta.

UBC’s Centennial officially launches in Vancouver on September 30—the date classes began in 1915. Okanagan residents will be among the first to enjoy the celebration when Opera Kelowna and UBC Okanagan’s Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies join together

Opinion OUR view

Scientists must be free to speak their minds Federal public scientists want the protection of their right to speak freely enshrined in their collective agreements.

First of all, before we get into anything, let’s take a moment to remember that freedom of speech is their right as citizens of a democracy and specifically their rights as Canadians. But aside from that, there is a great public interest in government-paid and/or funded scientists being able to exercise their right to freedom of speech. In fact, beyond being a right, it should be part of their job description.

There is some room for confidentiality in the process of disseminating information by scientists who are specifically hired to find out the truth of things. You can’t have them just blasting their mouths off. The same standards of accuracy, honesty and corroboration should apply to their opinions as they do to their research and the publicizing of that research.

But as the ultimate employer of these scientists, the taxpayers own their research and therefore have a right to know everything about it. They answer to the citizens of this country not to the politicians.

Truth in science is more important today than ever. We here on the West Coast know that as well as anybody as we weigh conflicting claims regarding crucial fish science and the environment. We need to be able to depend on our taxpayer-funded scientists to tell us what the facts are.

The Stephen Harper Conservatives have done a disservice to the citizens of this country by muzzling scientists and hacking scientific research to bits. The information researchers uncover belong to us and our public scientists need to feel safe enough to express their informed opinions.

What’s more, publicly-funded science should be neutral and unbiased. No corporate interference is acceptable. This is not science for sale. It’s science for the public good.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Fired ALC chair stood his ground In the end, Richard Bullock’s passion for the preservation of agricultural land City cost him his job as the man in charge of Confidential preserving agricultural land in B.C. Bullock, the now former chairman of ALISTAIR the B.C. Agricultural Land Commission, WATERS was seen by those in power as a barrier the plans to allow some agricultural land in the province to be developed.

So rather than fight with him for the next five months, the Liberals did what any other government would do— replace him with someone who will do what they want.

And, in the process, B.C. lost one of the strongest —and given his former position, one of the most influential—voices supporting the Agricultural Land Reserve in the province.

While not all farmers like the ALR, most would agree it has been a major force in protecting farmland across British Columbia.

At times its rules have been head-scratchers but for the most part, as a vehicle to protect land, it has succeeded.

Plenty of farmers would argue, however, it has not been as successful protecting them. But, in fairness, that’s not the ALR’s—or the ALC’s—mandate.

The job of helping farmers is one that falls to government. And there, despite protests from both the NDP and the Liberals, the record has not been so stellar.

Promises to farmers when the ALR came into being under the NDP government of then-premier Dave Barrett in the 1970s as a trade-off for locking land into a virtual land-freeze may have existed at one time, but today are now long gone. Since then, the NDP, Social Credit and Liberal governments have failed farmers.

As a result, it was no that long ago many farmers were asking what the province was protecting agricultural land for, because without support there were fewer and fewer farmers around to farm the “protected” land.

But times appear to have changed.

The call from farmers for help— seen by many not in the agriculture community as a constant demand for more—may still be there but is not as loud or as frequent.

With a buying public more concerned about what they are eating and where their food comes from, interest in agriculture is growing again.

And that’s where Bullock came in. He spoke up for the preservation of agricultural land because that’s what he was appointed to do. That was expected of him. And in the end, he was—in his words—“booted” for it five months early.

Both he and Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick say they want the same thing—to preserve agricultural land in B.C. But it’s clear the two men don’t agree on how that should be done.

So one had to go. And when one answers to the other, it doesn’t take a brainiac to know whose butt the door is going to hit on the way out.

Still, Bullock can hold is head hight as he exits through the afore-mentioned door. He left standing on principle.

And he deserved more than termination five months early and nary a mention in announcement of the appointment of the man replacing him.

Latest free trade agreement kept ‘secret’ To the editor: Canada is currently in secretive negotiations with the United States, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Malaysia, Chile, Singapore, Peru, Vietnam, New Zealand and Brunei to establish an agreement which would create “the largest economic treaty in history, including countries that represent more than 40 per cent of the world´s GDP.” (Wikileaks) This agreement is called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), an agreement which most Canadians (and Americans) know little or nothing about.

The Harper government is under the gun to pass legislation which would put Canadian small businesses at a huge disadvantage, and even out of business. Why? The TPP would allow huge corporations to take jobs from here and set up shop in member states where labour costs and conditions border on enslavement, and government regulations are few and far between, thus allowing these mega corporations to flood the North American market with cheap goods.

Harper should and must know that this “partnership” will sink a lot of small businesses here, thus putting more people

out of work and further depressing our already fragile economy.

And what happens if a future Canadian government ends up in a dispute with one of these mega corporations? The TPP will set up private courts to rule on disputes between the corporations and the governments.

For example, a foreign corporation (operating within the borders of a member state of the TPP) wishes to export a certain product to Canada, and the Canadian government attempts to block the import of this product, the government must appeal to one of these private courts. Relevant Canadian law and Canadian courts are ignored because they lack any jurisdiction to oversee such disputes under the TPP agreement. (Similar mechanisms have already been used in the past re: GATT, NAFTA and CAFTA).

The TPP is just another globalist treaty that expands the power of mega corporations around the world.

At will, they can move their manufacturing operations to places where workers are nothing more than slaves. They can sell cheap goods across borders, without paying billions in tariffs, regardless of the effects on

AGRICULTURAL LAND RESERVE

Decision to fire ALC chairman a loss for farmland advocacy To the editor: I wondered what our premier was thinking when she fired Richard Bullock, the excellent chair of the Agricultural Land Commission, and then I realized Christy Clark is far shrewder than us, the simple electorate.

Mr. Bullock has been a champion for the preservation of farmland, and of course crops need water. Then I thought what else needs a lot of water and remembered our illustrious premier’s election platform and her promise of LNG plants everywhere. To frack, one needs water.

So with the expulsion of this myopically vigilant chairperson, plus the changes to the ALR by creating two zones, any land in Zone 2 can more easily be developed for gas and

oil. Cha ching!

I think with Mr. Bullock out of the way, the BC Liberal government’s new five-year plan for the ALR will be far easier to roll out, especially as the new chair is a former Liberal MLA candidate.

Only a cynical person would think this could lead to the dismantling of the ALR. And really, when our stores can just order fruits and veggies from California, processed foods from Ontario, and beef from Alberta, what the heck are we doing in B.C. with all this water-wasting farmland?

And yet there are some short-sighted critics of this brilliant woman and her long-term strategy for BC. Moni Schiller, Kelowna

smaller competitors who are torpedoed and ultimately forced out of business. (Sounds like a ‘good business plan’ to me, if you are one of these big corporations.)

It’s bad enough that Harper is keeping Canadians in the dark on this one. Probably keeping Parliament out of the loop too. So much for his promise of transparency.

And where is the media on this secret treaty that would expand the powers of these huge corporations and create laws, rules and regulations that supercede our own domestic laws and our courts? (Sounds like a bad deal to me.)

Maybe it is time for Harper to go and the upcoming election may be our best opportunity to export him and these mega corporations to the scrap pile.

Will NDP changes its stripes?

To the editor: The dust has finally settled and the cleanup will hopefully start soon in Alberta.

At least that is what those responsible for electing NDP in Alberta are hoping for.

The corporate mafia has surely made itself a comfortable niche in the Alberta region, like a parasite that has become immune to all obstacles.

It is unfortunate that most of us have a price-tag on our heads, something more clearly seen on the political stage, and new Alberta premier Rachel Notley is in the centre of it.

If my memory serves me right, the NDP used to represent a political party that once catered to the commoners of this country and not just the corporate mafia. But that all has changed as greed infiltrated the moral values that this political party was built upon.

Notley might be one of the extraordinary individuals, like Jack Layton was, but then only time will tell where her moral values stand in the game of politics.

One thing is for sure, Albertans have had

enough of the dirty, one-sided games, and they demand better changes for the majority who pay their share of taxes, not just for the few enjoying special privileges.

So, what’s next for those who got a sour taste in their mouths after the NDP victory?

Many of them have already fled and found their way to British Columbia; Kelowna being their favorite destination.

But there is no need to worry for Kelowna residents. The real estate has been booming, the money is rolling in and the population is at its highest, a good indication for more opportunities in the business sector.

I am sure that many of them will open businesses and will share their good fortune with those in need. There is truly no better place to open a business than here in the Okanagan, where the enslaved poor will get enslaved some more and in return they even thank those who enslaved them in the first place. This is a strange reality in this beautiful part of the country, but that is what it is, a reality of a different kind.

LOCAL ASIAN HERITAGE

Bad treatment led to decline of area Chinese population

Kathy Michaels

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna’s past might appear to be monochromatic, but tucked into the hillside behind a local golf course, a different story can be found.

Headstones from the last century highlight the remnants of bustling Chinese and Japanese communities that long ago dwindled due to restrictive immigration policies and shifting economic realities.

It’s history that Kelowna Museum highlighted this weekend in a Kelowna Memorial Park cemetery tour as part of their Asian Heritage Month exhibition.

“The Japanese are on this end, then suddenly it will shift to the Chinese,” said local historian Bob Hayes, as he walked by a line of headstones, with a handful of history buffs in tow.

“It’s a reflection of the time. People then

probably thought, ‘Chinese, Japanese— What’s the difference?’”

It’s as ironic as it is ignorant, he pointed out, given that the two nations have always had a tense history.

Locally, they also faced starkly different realities At the turn of the last century, the Japanese had relatively significant populations in Coldstream, Glenmore, Rutland, Lake Country and Westbank.

“Men came out first and they would farm,” said Hayes. “The men would work, make enough money to buy property, then they would go home to marry, come back and have children.”

A lot of the time, the children would be sent back to Japan for an education.

“The Japanese had an easier ride. Even during the war, I don’t think there was as much discrimination against the Japanese as there was against the Chinese.”

The Chinese, however, faced a wall of racism that was regularly highlighted in the local newspaper.

“They were horrible,” said Hayes. “In 1911, we had a visitor in Kelowna, who the next year would become the most famous person in the world, and the local paper slagged the whole thing.”

Sun Yat Sen would go on to be known through history as the man who toppled the emperor of China, but when he visited Kelowna he was depicted in a cartoonish manner, with racial slurs in abundance.

“They even made fun of the horse he rode in on,” said Hayes.

His presence, however, may have reflected the strength of the Okanagan’s Chinese community, which started in the Okanagan following the CPR in the 1890s.

“Kelowna had a large community of Chinese Masons, and they had a lodge downtown, on the

Leon Avenue, up until it was flattened in 1972, was known as Chinatown, and it was born out of necessity,

said Christina Neale, of Kelowna Museum.

“There was a Chinese restaurant (on Bernard Avenue) from 1895 to1896, and unfortunately due to the

times, the Europeans didn’t like this ethnic style food, and they drove this business out of town,” said Neale.

“That’s when they turned the corner and

decided to build the Chinatown.”

While the population was big enough to create a Chinatown, it was destined to dwindle.

Women were often not allowed to move to Canada, but even if they were the cost was too high to bear.

For Chinese nationals to bring over a family member from their country in 1905, they would have had to spend $500.

Compare that to the $200 it would have cost to buy properly on Leon Avenue, and the weight it would have put on an individual is apparent.

Neale went on to say the population of Asians was about 500 around the early 1900s, by the 1930s it was down to 300 and by 1970s there were around 30 left.

So, while they helped build the community, it’s difficult to see the contribution they made.

Michael Ellis is a serial law-breaker whose latest offence was terrorizing those who had the misfortune of driving on Westside Road July 31, 2012, while he was on a drug-fueled run from police.

With the series of convictions related to that high-profile police chase under his belt, the list of criminal acts Ellis has been found guilty of amounts to 56, prompting B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Josephson on Tuesday to order a Dangerous Offender assessment— the first step in a lengthy process that could see Ellis indefinitely behind bars.

Josephson, who in February convicted Ellis, now 41, of crimes related to the aforementioned chase, explained that the bar for approving the assessment is quite low, and that the prosecution easily made its case.

Crown counsel Murray

Kaay explained that Ellis’s numerous criminal convictions demonstrated a persistent behaviour type and penchant for acts that could cause serious personal injury.

It’s behaviour he’s either unwilling or unable to reign in, as he also shows a high level of indifference for his crimes.

It is a combination of traits already recognized by the courts in the wake of a 1997 robbery, when Ellis’s sentencing judge said he had a horrific record and warned he was “rapidly running out of options.”

That didn’t stop Ellis who continued to rack up convictions, robbing banks and committing various other crimes while on bail, probation or parole.

It’s never been made clear what prompts Ellis to continually break the law, or whether he has any interest in changing his behaviour.

During a stay in a federal prison in 2001,

a report preceding his mandatory release highlighted the fact he never participated in any self-improvement programming—except for methadone treatment— and he was continually abusive to prison staff.

He was considered to have an “inexcusable temper” and was believed to be at high risk to re-offend.

A report at that time also showed he demonstrated anti-social and narcissistic personality features.

More recent attempts to assess Ellis were rejected, and he recently refused to participate in a pre-sentencing report, which would delve into his history.

Ellis’s lawyer, John Gustafson, argued against the assessment, noting the crimes his client had previously been convicted of were of a different character than the spur-of-the-moment chase for which he’s awaiting sentencing.

Those, he explained,

took forethought which his client hadn’t displayed in the case at hand.

For the July 2012 chase, which ran down Westside Road from West Kelowna to the outer reaches of Vernon, Ellis was originally charged with several counts of attempted murder, along with the weapons and robbery charge he’s yet to be sentenced for.

He was acquitted of the attempted murder charges.

In a decision released in February, Josephson said Ellis may have shot a highway worker, rammed police vehicles and, at the very least, been aware of shots being fired at others by his passengers as they tore through the Okanagan in a series of vehicles they stole at gunpoint, but that didn’t mean he wanted to kill anyone.

“That evidence, which I accept, reveals that Mr. Ellis was a full and willing participant in this mad, misguided and extremely dangerous scheme to avoid detention by police.

To that end, Mr. Ellis and (co-accused) Mr. Wysynski set out to terrorize innocent uninvolved civilians at gunpoint and were willing to endanger the lives of police officers or anyone else whom they perceived as a risk by discharging countless rounds of ammunition from a prohibited weapon at moving police and civilian vehicles from their own moving vehicle,” Josephson said at the time.

The assessment could be completed by August, at which time the next step in the process will be laid out.

FAT CAT FESTIVAL

Children’s festival puts the call out for volunteer support This year will mark the 25th anniversary of the Interior Savings Fat Cat Children’s Festival which takes place June 12 and 13 at Waterfront Park.

And organizers have put the call out to the community to come and help put on a big show for the kids.

“We have been busy planning and organizing a fantastic celebration that is chock-a-block full of stage performances, roving entertainment and incredible handson experiences,” said Dorothee Birker, artistic director for the festival.

“Now we really need the help of the community to sign up and take on key volunteer positions, including a ‘Volunteer Team’ that can help coordinate the other volunteers.”

More than 200 volunteer positions are required to run the festival every yea.

While the event has keen volunteers that keep coming back year after year, there are always new positions and more volunteers needed as the festival grows.

“We are really hoping that we can get groups of volunteers to come out for the Festival and do some fun team building while they bring smiles to thousands of kids faces,” continued Birker.

“Youth, Church, sports, community and business organizations can volunteer as a group and take on specific areas to look after such as the dog pound, marshaling for the parade or running a fun activity station, or they can come as individuals

news _____________________________________________________________________ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

A local author who achieved national recognition as a social justice playwright is being commemorated through a new award that encourages students to promote social justice in the Okanagan.

Two annual awards valued at $1,000 each have been established in memory of George Ryga, a renowned Canadian playwright and novelist whose work explored

complex issues of race, class, wealth, opportunity, privilege, and social structures in Canada.

The fund was established by Ryga’s sister and brother-in-law, Anne and Ted Chudyk, and is open to Okanagan College students interested in creating awareness around social issues.

“George had a passion for writing but an even greater passion

for people,” said Ted Chudyk.

“He was fascinated by people—especially the struggles and injustices they faced—and that fascination came out in his work.

“There were no bad people in George’s mind.

He saw the value in everyone and he fought for them through his writing.”

Added Anne Chudyk: “This award is meant to

inspire students to follow in George’s footsteps, but they need not be writers.

It is more important that they demonstrate a strong interest in promoting social justice in some way that will benefit the community.”

“George Ryga established a high standard of social commentary in Canadian literary and theatrical works,” said Robert Huxtable, Okanagan College’s Dean of Arts and Foundational Programs.

“We’re very proud to celebrate his legacy through these awards and hope students will be inspired to follow the example set by a local author who had an immense effect in raising awareness of social justice issues in Canada.”

The fund also supports the production of the Ryga Journal, an initiative of Okanagan College’s English Department of the Faculty of Arts.

Ryga (1932-1987) was born in Richmond Park, AB, near Athabasca, to poor Ukrainian immigrant parents.

He displayed an immense talent for writing at a young age, working through grade

school in only six years and completing high school by correspondence while working a variety of jobs to support himself and his family. He later studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts.

Ryga moved to Summerland in 1962, where he lived until his death in 1987 at the age of 55.

Ryga garnered national acclaim for his play, The Ecstacy of Rita Joe, in 1967.

The play, written at his home in Summerland, is considered by scholars and critics to be an important landmark in modern Canadian theatre.

It has been studied in post-secondary institutions across Canada, performed from coast-to-coast, and also adapted into a ballet by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.

Ryga’s final published work, Summerland, a collection of previously unpublished works, was printed posthumously in 1992.

Ryga’s sister recalls his struggles to support a family while pursuing his writing career in the Okanagan valley.

MEMORIAL CUP

Kelowna Rockets ready for their next challenge

Having eight days off to prepare for the Memorial Cup against teams they have not faced has the Rockets feeling confident at the outset of the tournament.

Healthy, well-rested and confident.

The WHL champion Kelowna Rockets couldn’t have asked for a much better confluence of circumstances heading into the 2015 Memorial Cup championship.

By the time they face off against the host Remparts on Friday night at Colisée Pepsi in Quebec City, the Rockets will have had eight full days off to prepare for major junior hockey’s ultimate stage.

It was a week ago Wednesday night that the Rockets took care of the Brandon Wheat Kings with surprising efficiency, sweeping the WHL final in four games.

“Certainly the rest is always valuable this time of year,” said Rockets’ head coach Dan Lambert.

“And I believe from my experience from being around this type of event, sometimes it takes time to get the players in the right mindset.

“When you win a championship, in most leagues, you’re done playing hockey. In this league (WHL) you actually have to get revamped and refocused and I think this time we’ve had is very valuable,” he continued.

“Our players know what’s at stake and we don’t feel our job is done yet.”

The break has also given Lambert and assistants Kris Mallette and Travis Crickard more than ample time to

view video, to analyze and break down each and every one of their Memorial Cup opponents in detail.

The host Remparts, who feature Canadian junior gold medalist Anthony Duclair, among others, are coming off a seven-game loss to the Rimouski Oceanic in the QMJHL final which ended on Monday.

“They’ve got some high-end skill, guys like Duclair and (Adam) Erne, he has a goal a game in the playoffs which is pretty impressive at this time of year,” Lambert said of the Remparts.

“Obviously they have that real big line that can do a lot of damage.

They’ve got some D that are very capable of moving the puck and they’ve got some speed.”

The Oceanic, who the Rockets will see in their second game of the tournament Monday, rebounded from a 2-0 series deficit against the Remparts, winning both Games 6 and 7 in overtime.

“Rimouski, they’re like a lot of French teams, they’re a little bit smaller, they’re skilled, they can scoot around and they’re a good hockey club as well,” Lambert said.

“They’re the best defensive team in the Quebec league, so they’re a little stingy in that area. And they’re always dangerous on the attack, against those teams if you turn pucks over, you’re playing to their strengths.”

The Oshawa Generals, who the Rockets will face in their final round robin game on Tuesday, disposed of the Connor McDavid and the Erie Otters in the Ontario Hockey League final in five games.

The Generals finished the regular season ranked third in the Canadian Hockey League, with the Rockets right behind in fourth.

Oshawa’s lineup features Cole Cassels, one of the Vancouver Canucks top prospects and son of former NHLer Andrew Cassels.

“They’re a big, physical team that has skill,” Lambert said. “They play a big, heavy game.

They’re not as fast as the Quebec teams but in saying that they can move around and they’re very good in many areas.

“They were the only team that was able to shut down (Connor) McDavid which means they have a good checking line for sure and probably a checking game as a whole for the team.”

Unlike the WHL playoffs, the Rockets will face a vastly different and unique format at the Memorial Cup, playing three round-robin games in five days against teams they haven’t played this season.

Although it’s his first appearance at a Memorial Cup, Rockets’ defenceman Josh Morrissey has experience in similar formats having played for Canada at

both the world junior and world U18 hockey championships.

The 19-year-old blue liner from Calgary said playing with some urgency and energy, and getting off to a good start, are all keys to success at this kind of short-term event.

“You only get one crack at them, every game is so important, it’s like playing a bunch of mini Game 7s,” said Morrissey.

“If you don’t win in a short-term competition and don’t have a good start, sometimes you’re in trouble.

“We’re going to be well-prepared by the

coaches, they’ve been watching video non-stop.

“When we get out there we just need to get our legs going, be ready to execute early and just play with confidence and energy, not dwelling on mistakes because they’re going to happen.

“Go out every game with a ton of excitement.”

AAA BOYS’ RUGBY

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

Mt. Bou Bears edge Kelowna Owls for valley title The Kelowna Owls’ six-year reign as Okanagan Valley senior AAA boys’ rugby champs is over.

The Mt. Boucherie Bears saw to that with a 17-16 victory over the Owls in valley championships match last Thursday at KSS. Down 10 at the half and by 13 at one point, the Bears changed their attack tactics and stormed back for the win in the last five minutes.

Boucherie will be making its first appearance in the provincial tournament since 2009.

“The boys played hard and earned this win,” said Bears coach Chris Carter.

“We are really looking forward to the provincial championships and will enjoy the experience no matter what.”

KSS coach Dave Marfleet said his team doesn’t possess the depth of some Owls teams of the past.

“We’re pretty young and inexperienced,” Marfleet said. “(The Bears) deserved to win.”

Both Boucherie and KSS will compete in the first round of the provincial postseason this Saturday in Kelowna. The Bears will take on Yale Seconary, while the Owls meet St. Georges.

The Bears are ranked 14th, the Owls 15th.

Make it a three-peat for the Kelowna Owls senior girls’ soccer team.

KSS won its third consecutive Okanagan Valley AAA title last Thursday with a 1-0 home pitch win over the South Kamloops Titans.

In what has been a recurring theme over the last several games, the Owls dominated early on but had difficulty scoring.

KSS finally broke through in the second half, as Kiana Ajamzadeh scored the game’s only goal on a pass from Brianna Mapson.

Immaculata secured the Okanagan Valley championship last week in Vernon.

Emma Johnson scored seven goals during the tournament, while Gemma Davies was named the Mustangs top player.

Davies came off the bench both against St. Ann’s and Similkameen to make a big impact on both games, scoring against St. Ann’s and setting up a goal in the final against Similkameen.

“We were able to go through a collective problem solving process to get to a format, and come together on this one.

As the IT Band travels down the outer thigh, it runs over two bony prominences—one on the outside of the hip, and the other on the outside of the knee.

An increase in tension of the IT band can therefore cause increased friction as it rubs over the bone, which leads to inflammation and pain in the outer hip and/or knee region.

There are some common features that may predispose someone to encountering this

problem.

These include muscle imbalance, sudden increase in training, running or hiking up and down hills, type of foot wear, and running/ walking gait pattern.

Once the causative factors have been identified with the help of your physiotherapist, IT band syndrome can usually be managed well.

Physiotherapists have an effective way of releasing the tension in the IT Band by using acupuncture needles combined with some massage techniques.

As well as reducing IT Band tension and reducing the inflammation in the irritated tissue, specific strengthening of the muscles around the hip and knee is required to

Rain sensors 101…..

With the water shortage expected this year, we do not want to irrigate our yard and lawns when it is not necessary if it rains. One great way to manage your watering schedule is to utilize a rain sensor that will automatically turn your irrigation system off when rainfall occurs. Rain sensors are designed to interrupt the irrigation schedule during a rainfall event.

They are adjustable and will only turn the irrigation off after a preset amount of rainfall occurs. They are easy to install and come in several configurations depending on the options required.

Rain sensors are wired directly to the irrigation system controller and, depending on the manufacturer, are available in either a wired or wireless unit. Wired sensors typically come with 25-30 ft of wire, which can be added onto if required to locate the sensor properly outside the home. Wireless sensors have a little bit more flexibility as to where they can be located.

With the wireless system only the transmitter is wired to the irrigation controller, the rain sensor itself has a built-in receiver which transmits back to the controller wirelessly.

take some of the stress off the IT band.

This will ensure that as you continue to hike or run, there is less friction on the IT Band as it moves over the underlying bone, and less friction means less pain.

So if pain in your hip or knee is stopping you from getting out there this spring, it may be a fixable case of IT Band syndrome.

Its the time of year when its great to get back outdoors, and when many of us become more physically active again.

As our bodies adjust to the increased activity, sometimes there are aches and pains that come along with it.

One such problem that commonly occurs in the hip or knee is Iliotibial (or IT) Band Syndrome.

The IT band is a connective tissue that runs from the muscles in the hip, down the outer thigh to connect into the outside of the knee.

When you increase your activity levels, particularly running or hiking, then the hip and thigh muscles are required to work harder and as they recover they may have that tight postexercise feeling.

Because these muscles connect directly into the

The Optimist class had the most competition, with 32 sailors racing in 4 different fleets.

Katherine Littleton was the top COSA sailor, finishing 13th overall.

Ryan Rubadeau was edged off the podium with a 4th place finish in the Blue Fleet and a 14th overall finish.

Gabriella Littleton and Zane Halperin finished in 5th and 6th place respectively in the Blue Fleet.

Eight-year-old Tyler Rubadeau climbed up the rankings to a 3rd place finish in the White Fleet, which is dedicated to sailors nine and under.

This was Tyler’s first time sailing with the main fleet, which reportedly was both scary and fun!

COSA was also well represented in the large Opti Green fleet, which is dedicated to sailors competing in their first major regatta.

Claire Ramsey, Rory Wiebe, Ian Wright, Maia Tickle, and Christine Ashenhurst all sailed well, completing every race without hitting too may boats along the way.

The Central Okanagan Sailing Association held its annual Springtime Regatta last weekend.

More than 75 boats from across the Pacific Northwest competed in 10 fleets in what is thought to be the B.C. Interior’s largest sailing competition.

While Sunday proved to be a miserable day for sailing, a long day of racing on a sunny, windy Saturday proved satisfying for all of the sailors.

Race officers Ron Rubadeau and Steve Brunsden ran two different race courses, with Rubadeau managing the main course and Brunsden focusing on the 32 Optimist sailors, ages 8 to 14.

As usual, COSA sailors dominated the local sailing scene, earning top finishes in several fleets.

COSA race coaches Bryana van Leeuwen, Nicole Ludzki, and Elizabeth Hardy reported that COSA members appear again well poised to do well on the provincial racing circuit, based on their showing in the regatta last weekend.

The COSA Race Team will compete in several large events across the Pacific Northwest this season, including the Western Canadians which will be in Comox this year.

“The COSA Springtime Regatta is the first major event our youth sail in every year, so to do well this early in the season when many of the coastal sailors have been training all winter suggests that we are on the right track to be very competitive in 2015,” said regatta organizer Devin Rubadeau.

Centre for Innovation builds community from the ground up Visitors to Kelowna’s downtown core can now see a significant rampup of activity on the building site of the Okanagan Centre for Innovation, at the corner of Ellis Street and Doyle Avenue.

After months of negotiations, preparations and finalizing details with the City of Kelowna, crews will be putting boots (and heavy equipment) to the ground, says the Kelowna Sustainable Innovation Group, the developer behind the project.

The Innovation Centre is a creative, complex marriage of small and large enterprise, academic institutions, civic, regional, provincial and federal governments, and a visionary undertaking for the community.

“That’s the underpinning for this project: community,” said KSIG spokesperson Kelsey Helm.

One stakeholder who will be particularly pleased to see excavators

and loaders start work on the site is the Centre’s next-door neighbor—the downtown Kelowna library branch.

“A great deal of thought and planning went into the design and location of the centre, including how it could potentially connect to the library,” said Helm.

According to Okangan Regional Library chief executive officer Stephanie Hall: “The public library has a lot to offer the business and technology communities, so we advocated for our space to be joined to the Innovation Centre. KSIG’s vision for the centre was that it would have a cultural element, so it was a great fit.”

She noted that as part of the library’s original design, two large panels were identified for potential removal from its south-facing wall, conveniently opening up a connection point for the Innovation Centre on the first floor.

TRAITS OF AN ENTREPRENEUR

Strong inner beliefs fuel the journey to succeed

If this entrepreneurial minded columnist and serial entrepreneur decided to choose a patron saint, I’d nominate the economist Joseph A. Schumpeter.

History has told us that Schumpeter was one of the most astute business thinkers who ever lived. He is often called the father of Entrepreneurship.

In his classic book of 1911, The Theory of Economic Development, Schumpeter broke with traditional thinking about business, enthroning the entrepreneur as the source of all economic progress.

One of the hallmarks of that book is that he ventured into territory where no economist had traveled before— the psychology of entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs, he insisted, are not propelled solely by a wish to grow rich or by any “motivation of the hedonistic kind.”

Instead, he said they feel the “will to conquer; the impulse to fight; to prove oneself superior to others; to succeed for the sake, not of the fruits of success, but success… itself.”

There is the unmistakable joy of creating, of getting things done and simply exercising one’s energy and ingenuity to find solutions, not problems.

Today, for the first time in our history, a majority of the world’s people are living in countries with capitalist economies.

As a result, the entrepreneurial business environment is also changing at a faster pace than any other time in history.

The process of globalization and the development of the

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG Internet have transformed the world, creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs everywhere. Very exciting for all.

The choice today is whether a person will be on the giving or receiving end of “creative destruction” as Schumpeter liked to put it.

He also stated “a roster of leading entrepreneurs would be like a hotel: Always full of people, but people who are forever changing.”

Increasingly, as entrepreneurs create more and more exciting new ventures for us to enjoy, they are also attracting vigorous scrutiny.

But still, little notice has been taken of the growing body of research from those who are continually trying to learn why entrepreneurs seem to have an intense flame burning inside.

To understand the entrepreneur, you first have to understand the psychology of a juvenile, says Abraham Zaleznik, a Harvard professor and expert authority on leadership and social pyschology.

The remark is not to be taken facetiously, as the hallmark of the entrepreneur is a drive for autonomy, for a freedom from restraints that bespeaks an inner rebelliousness and a fearlessness in the face of risk.

But since there are countless paths to entrepreneurial bliss, any

psychological portrayal is simply a prototype from which a given entrepreneur may differ to a greater or lesser degree.

There is no secret formula, it’s like trying to prescribe the secrets to a happy life— the typical entrepreneur is absolutely sure he or she cannot fail.

Because they believe so much in themselves, the entrepreneur calculates their odds differently than outsiders might.

They seem to have a particular style of gathering required information, casting a wider net than do their less-enterprising peers.

And their curiousity is immense.

There are many other routes to an assertive independence.

For example, George Lucas, the moviemaker behind the Star Wars epics and founder of Lucasfilm, remembers, producing backyard carnivals, which he says “were far more elaborate and profitable versions of a Kool-Aid stand.”

Some personality theorists cite such enterprise as an instance of forming one’s own identity by emulating successful adults.

Others also see such early initiative as a strong sense of competence, the belief that one can accomplish whatever one sets out to do.

For Lucas, his refusal to give up his autonomy to Hollywood was a straightforward artistic decision. He wished to control his artform that led to his independence.

He is quoted as saying

A

Q

Do you recommend using a Roomba to vacuum a carpet?

In recent years the Roomba vacuum has become an increasingly popular tool to clean your home. It’s so convenient – just turn it on and forget it! It does all the vacuuming for you even in those hard to reach places and then returns to base to recharge…all by itself! Unfortunately, I do not recommend using them on your carpet. They do not use suction but simply sweep the debris off the surface leaving a lot of fine dust and grit to accumulate into the deep recesses of your carpet’s pile. It’s out of sight, but in time, without proper vacuuming the carpet will become even more soiled and contaminated with particulates. Another concern is that the spinning edge brush has a hard nub that will cause pile distortion along the edge and in the corners on some carpets. It can cause permanent damage.

Sometimes, it takes effort to maintain an investment and carpeting is an expensive investment that needs proper care to ensure a long life. Vacuuming with a good quality vacuum and regular cleaning with Oxy-Dry® will enable your carpet to maintain its beauty and comfort for years to come. Call Oxy-Dry® for a deep clean that dries in 30-60 minutes. It’s your FRESH www.oxy-dry.ca 250-860-4595 choice...naturally!

Vantage West Property Management recently opened a new office in downtown Kelowna.

The office, a franchisee of Vantage West Realty, will benefit rental property owners who can watch their investment grow under the careful eye of a dedicated property consultant.

“There is a need in Kelowna for a company that offers investment-focused management for property owners whether they are managing single or multi-family homes,” said franchise owner A. J. Hazzi.

“Ever since I’ve been a landlord, I’ve longed for a management firm that not only had the core competencies of keeping the property filled with quality tenants, coordinating maintenance items and basic accounting, but could also provide the objective insight and management around the investment side.”

Vantage West Property Management brings a focus to the financial side of property ownership, offering qualified professional advice to help guide the decision-making around investments.

“People need help quantifying their return, objective feedback on their current properties performance and honest advice as to hold or divest themselves of certain properties,” said Hazzi. “We want to help homeowners hold their equity accountable to a return.”

The new office is located at 1329 Ellis St.

Okanagan Kids Care donates $45,000 to Y’s Beyond the Bell

(From left) Sara Wixey and Danielle Miranda with the Y Child Care, and Okanagan Kids Care directors Doug Loepp, Laura Decker and Joe Delicato.

Okanagan Kids Care has made a donation of $45,000 to help make the next three years of YMCA’s Beyond the Bell program possible.

This commitment will go towards providing 40 vulnerable children attending George Pringle Elementary School in West Kelowna with the after-school support they need to keep pace with

their grade level and peers over the 2014– 2016 school years.

“Children from financially disadvantaged homes often miss out on early learning opportunities, and because of this, it is common for them to fall behind in a traditional school setting,” said Danielle Miranda, YMCA senior child care manager.

YMCA of Okanagan

We’re more than a place for families...

We’re a family of role models.

James, 10, Mathew, 8, Jack, 6, and Paisley Harris, 3, all enjoy coming to the Y together as a family. These happy kids visit the Kelowna Family Y at least three times a week with their parents for various activities including swimming, adventure club, and open gym time.

“I like coming here to play sports,” says James, followed

by Mathew and Jack. All three of the boys were eager to explain all of the active games and sports they like to play in the gym.

Paisley likes to watch her brothers and, since her parents come to use the fitness centre all the time, she also gets to enjoy child minding where she does activities that keep

her engaged and help her express her creativity.

The boys all learned how to swim at the Y and Paisley will begin her swim lessons this summer. Jack is still learning, but has been swimming at the Y since he was born. And James, who has completed all the swim lesson levels by the age of 10, has a goal to become a Jr. Lifeguard as soon as he is old enough.

The kids have also been involved in karate, Movie Mania, spring break and summer camps, rock climbing, Active Arts, preschool and more.

“It is an all-encompassing facility for the whole family,” explains their father, Jeremy Harris.

Capital news In partnership with

ymcaokanagan.ca

It is important for families to set a healthy example for one another and the Harris family is doing just that.

These four adorable children and their parents are all excellent role models.

For families who want to have fun, be active and learn about being healthier together, YMCA Healthy Kids Day on June 7th from 12– 4pm, is a great place to start.

Located outside the Kelowna Family Y—375 Hartman Road—this event is free for the whole family with over 40 fun activity stations, live entertainment and healthy food and snacks for all.

Learn more at ymcaokanagan.ca.

YMCA’s Beyond the Bell program provides a safe, positive and nurturing environment for these kids to obtain the math, reading and social supports they require to succeed.

“Okanagan Kids Care believes deeply in putting the needs of kids first,” said Joe Delicato, Okanagan Kids Care board president.

“By supporting organizations like the YMCA, we are able to connect families to the resources they need to live healthier, happier lives and reach their full potential.”

The YMCA of Okanagan relies on community support to ensure quality programs are accessible to families.

For information about Y programs or to learn how you can help, contact Pamela Murkin at 250-861-9621, ext. 306.

••• YMCA members and those from the community gathered at the YMCA of Okanagan’s recent 2014 annual general meeting to celebrate the charity’s achievements over the past year, to recognize staff, volunteers, and donors, and to elect its board of directors.

“We are grateful for the amazing people who

choose to devote their time, talents and passions to the Y,” said chief executive officer Sharon Peterson.

“This year, we were honoured to present awards to some of our longstanding staff and volunteers who have served 10, 15 and 20 plus years with the Y, which speaks volumes towards their commitment to building healthier communities.”

The 2014 recipients include: Youth Awards of Excellence—Aneesha Thouli, fitness instructor and Will Tanner, child and youth programs; Adult Awards of Excellence— Tracey-Lynne Pedlar, fitness instructor; Shirley Thompson, recreational programs and, Ren Flores, YMCA Beyond the Bell.

Elected to board of directors were Dave Cronquist, Nancy Cameron, Bryan Akerstream, Paul Demay, Joni Metherell, Emma Miller, Raina Reddecliff, Randy Schueler, Martin Rutherford, Judy Shoemaker, Sharon Varette and Kathryn Johnson.

Special mention was given to Ron Stewardson, who was the board chair from 2010 to 2014, and director since 2007, who has retired.

Seniors DEALING WITH EMOTIONS

Emotions are meant to be Seniors’ helpful in sorting Concerns out our lives.

They create MARJORIE an opportunity HORNE to understand ourselves and re-evaluate our direction, consider next steps and perhaps gain motivation to move forward in a new way.

We often have the wrong idea about emotions. They actually are very rational tools that have been carved over the timelessness of human experience and will often direct us to where we need to go if we give them our full attention.

Of course, happiness and joy are easy to connect with, but feelings of anger, confusion, regret, envy, jealousy, shame, guilt and embarrassment, maybe not so much.

Recently having an evening to myself, I thought I would treat myself to paying for a movie on demand that I could decide on just for me.

Flipping through the selections, I came across one I had never heard of called Wild.

This movie caught my attention and I settled in to see what it was all about. It was the true story of a recovering heroin addict, Cheryl Strayed, and her sudden, rash decision to hike alone more than a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail.

This decision came following her mother’s death from cancer, the ending of her marriage and her subsequent decent into addiction.

Reese Witherspoon played the part to perfection and I related to her healing journey along the trail, grieving both of these significant losses and the plethora of emotions that surrounded them.

As she faced moving beyond her defined capabilities through challenging her physical endurance, she was given the opportunity to

internally deal with the many insights that maddened, yet strengthened her as her terrors and pleasures were revealed in a way she could finally make sense of.

Perhaps we can’t all head off on a three-month journey to connect with our deepest fears, but we can take one day just for ourselves to explore our inner world.

As we age, we are in a way having to acquaint ourselves with this new aging self and develop a relationship with this changing image of who we are becoming.

Aging is a time to get to know yourself in new ways, to open yourself to gifts unavailable to youth.

It’s a time when you may find the desire to forge a deeper spiritual life through developing stronger connections with both yourself and with others.

The first half of life is a time of connecting outward in a way that helps our outer personality becomes more deeply defined.

The second half of life is a time when all of the outer connections can be joined and strengthened by inner ones, if we give ourselves the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of all that we have done and the kind of person we have become and still want to be.

Cheryl Strayed had the courage to bravely confront the disconnection between these two worlds that had led her into addiction. I think we each have our own calling to slow down at times to pause and reassess where we are going in the quietness of being alone.

Lewis Richmond talks about taking a day away for nurturing your own spirit in his book, Aging As A Spiritual Practice, A Contemplative Guide to Growing

Older and Wiser.

A good time to do it is often when your emotions are out of sorts. This is when we need to love ourselves enough to stop and be still.

This day does not have to be as strenuous as a three month hike in the wilderness, so don’t be daunted.

It only lasts from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and unfolds through a series of rituals that allow your mind and emotions to explore where they need to go. It is like a work day, but it is wisdom work.

Richmond says: “Just one day away can be like a healing lotion—a way to reconnect with universal basics. This retreat, can be a time to reflect on the life you have lived— and the life you would like to live.”

It can even done in your own home if you wish.

I often say that you must dive deep into the well to connect fully with what you most need to know.

A full day to enjoy the stillness that this requires, a time to walk in the soles of wisdom, is a gift that we all deserve to give ourselves.

I will take my day to do this before my next column and share what I discover. If you wish to know how to plan and participate in your own day long spiritual retreat as so wonderfully guided by Lewis Richmond, please order his book.

His wisdom is inspiring and supportive to embracing this time of aging in a positive and fulfilling way.

A poem that came to him in a vision and one that I have visualized myself in a very similar way is: This is a journey, The journey is a river, The river is long, Follow the river.

Keeping control on Crohn’s disease flare-ups Needle Notes JAMES KAUFMAN eye inflammation, skin disorders and inflammation of the liver or bile ducts.

The cause of Crohn’s disease remains unknown but it is believed to be caused by a combination of heredity and a malfunctioning immune system.

Diet, stress and certain medications may aggravate the condition.

There is also no known medical cure for Crohn’s disease and medical treatment focuses on reducing the inflammation in order to relieve symptoms and if possible to promote longterm remission.

Treatment for Crohn’s disease usually involves medications such as antiinflammatories, immune system suppressors and antibiotics, combined with other medications to help with the symptoms.

In severe cases, surgery may be performed to remove a section of the intestinal tract.

Because Chinese medicine developed independently from Western medicine, it has its own disease classifications that do not always correspond with Western medical classifications.

TCM diagnosis is based on the collective symptoms that a person is experiencing and together these symptoms create a picture that leads

us to the cause.

Depending on symptoms, we may classify Crohn’s disease as a type of abdominal pain or diarrhea, or both.

Because Crohn’s disease affects the body’s digestive system, it may involve a weakness or disorder of the stomach, spleen, large intestine and/or kidneys.

This is usually due to a constitutional weakness (genetics) that can be aggravated by diet, environment, emotional

stress, overwork, or chronic illness, leading to the development of this condition.

Acupuncture treatments can help to relieve the symptoms of a flare-up of Crohn’s disease.

Diarrhea and abdominal pain in particular respond well to acupuncture.

Not only does acupuncture help with the symptoms of a flareup, but it can also help to strengthen the body

and correct functioning to promote faster remission and a reduction in the frequency and severity of future flare-ups.

Because we are dealing with a more complex, chronic condition, recovery from Crohn’s disease with acupuncture will be a gradual and steady process, rather than an instant fix.

Acupuncture engages the healing process and each treatment builds on the progress of the last.

Conditions like Crohn’s

disease that develop over a longer period of time take more time to reverse and undo.

However, acupuncture is a positive option that can help sufferers of Crohn’s disease live more symptom-free and experience a better quality of life.

Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation of the digestive tract lining.

This inflammation often spreads deep into the layers of affected bowel tissues.

Symptoms of Crohn’s disease can range from mild to severe and may develop gradually or come on suddenly, without warning.

When the disease is active, the most common symptoms are severe diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, blood in the stool, ulcers in the intestinal walls and reduced appetite and weight loss as a result of digestive discomfort and the body’s reduced ability to absorb nutrients.

Other symptoms that may accompany Crohn’s disease include fever, fatigue, arthritis,

The power of hand gestures Julie Lewis Contributor

You know that feeling when a word or a name is on the tip of your tongue and it just won’t come out? You find yourself saying “you know, the, the, the…” and then you move your arm or hand and the word finally pops out.

It turns out that gestures not only help us remember something in the moment but also help us when we are learning.

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines a gesture as “a movement of your body (especially of your hands and arms) that shows or emphasizes an idea or a feeling.”

Most babies start communicating through gesture at about nine months of age.

For the earliest gestures, the meaning is non-specific (for example, a reach that means “I want that”). Other gestures have a more specific meaning, like a word that you say with your hands (for example, “thumbs up” means good).

Some parents add to natural gestures by teaching their children sign language. One common myth is that signing with your child will reduce their desire to say words.

But the opposite is true: Children who gesture or sign a word start saying that word shortly after (and sooner than they would if they hadn’t learned the sign or gesture). Still, some parents are unsure whether to teach their baby sign language. There is no right or wrong answer—it’s a matter of personal choice. If you do sign, just make sure you always say the word when you do the sign.

Gestures are an important part of communication for everyone. A 2006 study in the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research showed the development of gestures from nine to 16 months predicts language abilities two years later.

This is significant because preschool language skills predict educational success. Wondering if your toddler is on track? An important rule of thumb is that by 16 months of age children should use at least 16 gestures.

Here are a couple of tips to boost learning for young children. Teaching your toddler or pre-schooler a new word? Add a gesture to make it easier for them to remember. Giving your school-age child instructions about chores? Make a gesture for each instruction to help them remember.

If you have any concerns or questions about a child’s communication development contact a speech language pathologist at your local health centre. For more information, cal interiorhealth.ca/YourHealth/ InfantsChildren/Pages/SpeechLanguage.aspx.

Julie Lewis is a registered speech language pathologist with Interior Health.

Visiting Studio9 students make presentations to KGH nursing staff Studio9 School of the Arts students recently spent an afternoon at Kelowna General Hospital.

The Grade 6 to 10 students participated in an “epidemic of appreciation.”

The visiting students created skits and monologues that told stories of the heroics, love and care offered daily on the part of nurses.

Some of the students talked about real personal or family health matters where nurses made a difference for them. Others prepared fictional dialogue or skits.

Some brought tears to the eyes of their appreciative audience.

The five groups of students went to

various pre-chosen nursing station for the impromptu performances surprising those nurses working at KGH that afternoon.

The event was the brain child of KGH spiritual care coordinator Deroch Koch who approached Studio9 with the idea.

It was instantly snapped up by Studio9 School of the Arts chief executive officer Michael Guzzi and creative writing teacher Heather Crown.

The students, who were just coming off their own celebration of National Youth Arts Week, spent the last few months researching for their presentations, which included a nurse who came to the school to talk about her profession.

everyone is able to find work that is mentally challenging, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible to find ways to train the brain and challenge it using some of the same principles outside of a work environment.

Executive, verbal and fluid tasks are often integral to household management, community involvement, advocacy and volunteer work as well and all of these activities present opportunities for giving your brain a workout

to build up that mental reserve.

At Okanagan Clinical Trials, we currently have an ongoing research study in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

If you are 65 or older and experiencing Alzheimer’s, you may be eligible to participate.

Although challenging the brain seems to be healthy, it should still be noted that a stressful work environment may not be good for mental health.

Battle of the Books competition motivational fun!

Ellison hosted 12 schools throughout SD 23 at the Zone A, Battle of the Books competition in April.

The Battle of the Books is a reading motivation program, in which students are to read nine preselected books.

Schools send teams of three to represent their school at the Zone Battles.

Students are then quizzed on their knowledge of the nine books. Battle of the Books is a wonderful program not only designed to motivate students to read, but it exposes students to a wide variety of genres, authors, and writing styles. Twenty-five schools throughout SD23 are currently participating in the Battle of the Books program.

This Movember, Ellison Elementary donned their mustaches to support Cancer Research. Students of all ages and genders, K-6, “stuck on” or drew mustaches to back this worthy cause, and show their support for Movember.

Rockets support literacy

On Wednesday, April 15, 2015, the Gr.5/6 Ellison Elementary students in Miss Jane Marshall’s class and Mrs. Louise Pouliot’s class presented their Heroic Hall of Fame Famous Person Wax Museum in the Ellison Gym for their fellow students, teachers, and parents to enjoy.

The criteria for this assignment was as follows: The person the students’ researched was famous for a certain accomplishment, showed admirable character, and helped mankind or the world in some way.

Both classes enjoyed dressing up as their Famous Person and giving a two minute speech on him or her.

Future green thumbs

The kindergarten students from Mrs. Ito’s and Mrs. Buchanan’s classes went on a field trip to the Greenery to learn about plants. They saw how machines are used to fill the pots with soil and seed them. They are planting their own Marigold plant to take home.

The Kelowna Rockets Jr. Hockey Team’s visited Ellison in the fall. Members of the Rockets read aloud picture books to different classrooms and spoke of the importance of literacy and school. At lunch hour, the Rockets challenged the grade sixes to a game of floor hockey. The admission that was charged to watch the nail-biter game was donated to the Kelowna Food Bank.

With the expertise of Angela Roy and Expression Drumming, students explore the music of other cultures on the djembe drums and through dance.

On Tuesday, May 12, 2015 Margaret Youmans passed away after a brief illness. She is survived by her loving family: son Dwight (Linda) and grandchildren Kyle and Melissa, all of Kelowna, BC, and son Doug (Michelle) and granddaughter Brittney, all of Salmon Arm, BC. She was predeceased by her husband Gordon and son Dusty.

A private family service will be held. “You will be dearly missed, our beloved mom & grandma. We all love you!�

Rest in peace, until we meet again.

To leave an on-line condolence to the family, please visit: www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com

February 16, 1948 - May 14, 2015 Bob was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the Navy where he served for 3 years. After discharge he settled in Victoria and went to work for Canadian Telephones and Supplies.

While on the job, he met Sharon, the love of his life. In 1993, Bob transferred to Kelowna and a job with TELUS. He and Sharon bought their first of many homes together in 1994, and brought home their first “child�, Katie, a year later. In 2003, after 33 years of service, Bob retired from the telecommunications industry. Retirement was spent traveling to Hawaii in the falls, mowing lawns and laying by the pool in the summers, as well as spreading cheer (and groans) via email jokes throughout the year. He survived a major health scare in 2007, which forced some serious lifestyle changes on him, but he took them all in stride and surpassed all expectations.

Sadly, a different disease would take his life in less than four weeks after diagnosis. May 14, 2015, after a very brief struggle with Cancer, Bob passed away peacefully. He is survived by his “darling� Sharon, sisters Lois (Bill) Seggie, Phyllis (Peter) Fletcher, “kids� Maggie, Jake, Abby and countless extended family and friends. There will be no service, by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the North Okanagan Hospice Society would be appreciated, and remembrances maybe sent to the family at mauimama@shaw.ca
