Kelowna community policing volunteer Mel Lillies talks about pedestrian safety with Theresa Shaver near Orchard Park mall as Kelowna RCMP Cst. Jesse O’Donaghey looks on.

Make eye contact with drivers Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna community policing volunteer Frank Stariha had a simple message for the walkers and transit users he encountered on Wednesday while participating in a pedestrian safety blitz staged by Kelowna RCMP and ICBC. Stariha called on both pedestrians and drivers to keep people safe as pedestrians cross Kelowna’s busy roads.

“Be aware and look at something other than your cell phone,” Stariha said after speaking with several individuals getting off the bus and heading for the mall.

“It’s incredible more people aren’t hurt. There’s distracted driving and there’s distracted walking.

Kelowna safety blitz serves as reminder for pedestrians to take the time to be safe when walking across the city’s busy roads “If you are about to cross, even if the light is with you, make eye contact with the driver. Make sure they know you are there.”

Stariha was among several volunteers interacting with pedestrians and members of the public near one of Kelowna’s busiest intersections at the corner of Highway 97 and Cooper.

As vehicles raced by on Highway 97, police pointed to the two main highways running through Kelowna where they intersect with businesses as areas that are particularly dangerous for pedestrians.

Both Highway 97 near Orchard Park Mall and Highway 33 as it

goes through Rutland’s business district are among the danger areas for pedestrians.

“Locations like this (near Orchard Park) are prime areas of concern because of pedestrians coming to the mall and people doing their shopping,” said RCMP Cst. Jesse O’Donaghey.

“There are certain areas where there are increased volume.”

“We’ve seen some situations involving seniors and crosswalks in proximity to seniors homes,” added Cst. Steve Holmes.

“Seniors may have visual and hearing issues and that presents a case where they are attempting to cross but may not have all the

information so people need to be extra careful.”

As part of their blitz, RCMP released statistics from ICBC and police data based on the five year average from 2009 to 2013 that shows pedestrian safety is a problem: • In B.C., 75 per cent of crashes involving pedestrians occur at intersections.

• In the Southern Interior, 51 per cent of crashes involving pedestrians occur at intersections.

• In B.C., on average, 58 pedestrians are killed and 2,400 injured in crashes every year.

• In the Southern Interior, on average, 12 pedestrians are killed and 240 pedestrians are injured in crashes every year.

News PERINATAL CARE

Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

With their first child expected to arrive just a week after the opening of a new $21 million perinatal unit at Kelowna General Hospital, expectant parents Fiona and Pete Patterson were glowing at the opportunity of being one of the first set of parents to welcome a newborn in the state-of-the-art facility.

The Pattersons were among dignitaries, media and staff that toured the new perinatal (maternity) ward at KGH last week, a facility that brings the hospital’s child birth facilities up to modern times.

It features expanded patient and clinical care space that focusses on keeping mother and new baby close to each other at all times and allows for more interaction for new dads and families as well.

“As first time expectant parents, we were thrilled upon touring the new unit,” said Fiona.

“They really listened to what women need.

There’s more privacy, natural light, it really promotes a sense of relaxation.

“Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but it’s functional. It caters to

women and families.

“There are resources right in the room for moms and babies that promotes attachment right away.”

The new unit will open on March 6 and Fiona Patterson is expected to deliver her baby on March 12.

The couple took some pre-natal classes in KGH’s old maternity ward and had been contemplating a home birth.

But if the baby cooperates and shows up on time, the couple will be in the fourth floor of the recently opened Heart and Surgical Centre at KGH to welcome their new family member.

“This really takes home birth out of the question for us,” said Pete.

“It just seems very organized with everything flowing really nicely. It’s made for patients.

“We’re very happy.

They can keep the baby in the room and really take an attachment approach.”

Interior Health says there are many benefits to the new unit including: • Expanded patient and clinical space • A modern neonatal intensive care unit • A new surgical suite for schedule Caesarean section and multiple birth deliveries

KEVIN PARNELL/CAPITAL NEWS

New KGH ward impresses expectant parents

Soon to be parents Fiona and Pete Patterson are excited about the new $21 million perinatal unit at Kelowna General Hospital set to open March 6.

• Private and semi private post-partum rooms • A patient and familycentred care environment The new unit was designed with input from health care workers.

KGH nurse Bonnie Wilke, who will work in the neonatal intensive care unit, says it really brings the hospital’s child birthing facilities up to modern times.

“This is amazing,” said Wilke. “I can’t wait to see patients in here. The old unit has done it’s job but it was built in the 1960s.

“That was a different time for parents. The new unit supports a model of care where parents are involved. It’s nice being family friendly.”

The new unit has three labour assessment bays, five private labour and delivery rooms, one labour and delivery isolation room as well as one dedicated operating room.

There are nine private rooms and four semiprivate rooms. And for families, there are washrooms with showers,

POLICE INVESTIGATION

a large waiting room and two nourishment centres where families can refrigerate and prepare food.

“Having a baby is one of life’s most joyous, and most stressful, moments,” said Premier Christy Clark, who is also the MLA for WestsideKelowna.

“This new unit will provide moms and loved ones with a state-of-theart facility and soothing atmosphere in which to enjoy the start of a new life together.”

“After seeing the new perinatal unit firsthand, I know this is a place where the 1,600 babies born at Kelowna General Hospital every year will get the best start to life,” added Norm Letnick, MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country.

“A modern neonatal intensive care unit with central monitoring, and areas for stabilization, transition and high needs babies will support parents whose newborns need a little extra help.”

Erwin Malzer, the Interior Health board chairman, called the new perintal unit a nurturing environment for moms and babies, and a modern, healthy workplace for hospital employees.

The perinatal unit is included within the $381-million budget for the new Interior Heart & Surgical Centre.

The Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District provided the $18-million capital cost of the unit and the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation has committed $3-million for new state-of-the-art equipment and support funding.

“We know that the new unit is much needed and will be well used by growing families,” said Gail Given, chairwoman of Central Okanagan

Regional Hospital District.

“It just made sense to go ahead and fully fund the construction of the fourth floor while the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre was being built, rather than waiting and adding the new unit sometime in the future.”

“Our community is extremely proud of KGH and their help is critical to make it what it is today.

The KGH Foundation is extremely grateful for the support our community is providing to our most vulnerable patients through our Giving Giggles Campaign,” noted Doug Rankmore, chief executive officer, Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.

For expectant mom Fiona Patterson, the open spaces and the feel of the new unit provides everything a new mother could hope for.

“The energy of this new birth space is one that promotes relaxation and is really attuned to the needs of the whole family.” she said.

“It’s so soothing. We were impressed with the upgraded equipment.

“It’s comforting to know that maternity care in Kelowna is a priority.”

Coroner identifies deceased man as a

Cactus Club altercation has now led to a fatality resident student at UBC Okanagan Sawyer Klassen

sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

The victim of an altercation outside the Cactus Club restaurant at 1575 Banks Road in Kelowna last Wednesday night has died.

The 30-year-old Ontario man, who passed

away Friday at Kelowna General Hospital, has been identified as Zachary Gaudette.

On Feb. 17 at 8:58 p.m., emergency services responded to reports of a man in medical distress outside the Cactus Club.

When they arrived, they found him

unconscious and rushed him to hospital where he was listed in serious condition.

RCMP are still seeking witnesses to the altercation, and suspect there may be witnesses at the Cactus Club who have not yet spoken with police.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact Kelowna RCMP at 250-470-6236 or remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477, leaving a tip online at crimestoppers.net or texting a tip to CRIMES

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died in Kelowna on Feb. 21.

He is Gurpreet Gavin Singh Dhaliwal, aged 21, of Kelowna.

Dhaliwal was a resident student at the University of BC Okanagan but on the afternoon of Feb. 21, was visiting friends at an off-campus residence.

About 9:30 p.m., one of the residents

of the home recognized that Dhaliwal was in medical distress and called 911.

But Dhaliwal could be not resuscitated.

The B.C. Coroner’s Service and the RCMP are continuing to investigate to determine the cause and manner of Dhaliwal’s death.

Dhaliwal’s family has been notified of his death.

Study confirms dementia linked to untreated hearing loss.

Cultural icon comes to Kelowna Alistair Waters

Hearing loss is the third most common chronic health condition affecting older adults. Approximately 30% of individuals aged 65 and older have some degree of hearing loss, with estimates ranging from 70% to 90% of those aged 85 and older.

“Hearing loss has often been associated with depressive symptoms and social isolation, which supports the hypothesis that social isolation and depressive symptomatology may mediate the association between hearing loss and cognitive decline.”

The owners of Kelowna’s newest restaurant used a little star power Saturday night to open their business.

Actress, model, Playboy centrefold, author and animal rights activist Pamela Anderson was in Kelowna Saturday to promote her latest book, Raw, and she made an appearance at the opening of The Xchange Tapas Bar and Grill in Dickson Road.

Earlier in the day in the city, she promoted the book, which is described as a fly-on-the-wall look at her life over the last decade and features photos of her along with poetry and prose she wrote for it.

Anderson, who hails from Ladysmith on Vancouver Island, shot to fame in the late 1980s when she was spotted on the large video screen at a B.C. Lions game at B.C. Place Stadium.

From there she went on to model, posed several times for Playboy and landed a part on

news _____________________________________________________________________ KIWANIS TOWER

Service club says it’s time to sell city’s oldest high-rise Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

At the end of the year, Kelowna’s oldest high rise will have new owner for the first time in 40 years.

The 12-storey,146-suite Kiwanis Tower, located at the corner of Gordon Drive and Lawrence Avenue, has been sold to the Kelowna

Foundation for Hope and Social Innovation.

The high rise, which was the first of in Kelowna, has been owned and operated by the Central Okanagan Kiwanis Community Service Society since it opened in 1976.

After four decades, the decision to sell was based on Kiwanis’ focus shift to the needs of children and youth in

the community.

“After more than 40 years of operating the tower as one of our community projects, Kiwanis has come to the difficult decision that this project no longer fits with our mandate,” said Bob Bissell, president of the Kiwanis Tower board of directors.

“That said, we felt we could only

sell the building to a purchaser who would continue serving our valued tenants with compassion and respect. ”We believe that the purchaser group is an ideal successor to us.”

The sale will be completed on Dec. 31 of this year, and none of the current residents will be displaced.

“Like most urban centres, Kelowna is experiencing an increase in the

number of people who, for various reasons, are having difficulty finding their place in our community,” said Laurence East, spokesperson for the Kelowna Foundation for Hope and Social Innovation. East is the lead pastor for Metro Community, which is spearheading the foundation’s plans.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Pink Shirt Day’s sends important message You have to wonder if, back in 2007, while David Shepherd and Travis Price were buying a stack of 50 pink shirts could they have imagined that their bullying protest would spread around the world.

Probably not. They were just trying to support a fellow student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school.

But this year, we are celebrating Pink Shirt Day (or Antibullying Day, if you prefer) for the ninth year today, Feb. 24.

And it’s five years since the United Nations took a stand and proclaimed May 4 International Anti-Bullying Day. That’s pretty good return for the purchase of a stack of cheap T-shirts.

Why do people, especially kids, bully others? There are so many reasons that it would never be possible to find one answer that would fit all situations. Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes and over the Internet.

What is common, however, is their victims. Bullies have a knack for finding the kids that are unlikely to retaliate.

And they choose them because the victim is different— skin colour, nationality, size, hair colour, shape of the nose, you name it—even the colour of shirt you choose to wear.

Let’s hope the word continues to spread. Bullying will likely never be wiped out completely, but we can hope to reduce its hold on society, as has been done with the once socially acceptable drinking and driving.

So let’s all do our part today, and wear pink to show you are taking a stand against bullying. For more information about how to participate in Pink Shirt Day or learn more about the problem we all need to work together on to find solutions to, check out the website pinkshirtday.ca.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Integrity officers are a good idea Some may think of it as the ultimate City conflict of interest for Confidential a municipal council— hiring its own ALISTAIR “integrity” officer to WATERS deal with conflict of interest complaints, requiring him or her to work under a mandate set by the council that appointed the officer in the first place and then being answerable to that same council.

But others see it as a proactive way to good government, one that could save taxpayers a bundle in legal fees now incurred when a councillor stands accused of conflict and has to be censured or sanctioned.

They say it would also stop politicians being pitted against each other as colleagues sit in judgement when a complaint is levelled and has to be adjudicated.

So, if a Kelowna call on the provincial government to let municipalities do it, is approved, that’s just what could happen in cities, towns, villages and regional districts across B.C. in the not-to-distant future.

The Kelowna call, in the form of a resolution to the Southern Interior Local Government Association and then, if successful, on to to the larger Union of B.C. Municipalities, is for enabling legislation from Victoria to let municipalities appoint their own integrity officers.

And, while there’s no indication it plans to do so— and the woman behind the denies it’s the reason—such a move would head off the possibility of the provincial government stepping in with its own mandarin from Victoria doing the same thing.

Currently, when there’s a conflict of interest or a complaint of irregularity, a council has to deal with the issue itself. Using a lawyer, its mets out its own form of municipal justice—anything from exoneration to a slap

on the wrist to full-blown sanctions and censure.

Locally, in recent months, we’ve seen two cases of that, one in West Kelowna involving a councillor and one at the regional district involving a director of a nonincorporated area.

In both cases, the accused’s colleagues were judge, jury and executioner.

Kelowna Coun.Gail Given, who is also chairwoman of the regional district, says an integrity officer, could be hired on a case by case basis and do more than just conflict cases. They could look at issues and launch their own investigations and advise on what is and is not a conflict before it becomes a problem.

But, while she says the resolution is “just planting the seed to see if there is a better way,” she also points to municipalities in Ontario that currently have the power under their provincial legislation and says many use it.

The current system in B.C. provides a lawyer for the municipality at taxpayer’s expense but leaves the cost of defending the accused to the accused.

Having an arm’s length officer deal with both would also keep the folks we elect working on the issues we elect to deal with rather than trying to figure out if one amongst them did something wrong. And if so, how to punish them. Or even worse, leave it to city staff to pass judgement on the people they answer to on a day-today basis.

Of course the final penalty of any such case will still likely have to be approved by the council as a whole, but Given’s proposal seems to be a whole lot better than what we have now.

Hopefully other municpalities—and eventually the provincial government—will see it the same way.

opinion _____________________________________________ FROM VICTORIA

Housing czar defends drug ghettos Housing Minister Rich Coleman was flabbergasted at the angry response to his solution to the Victoria courthouse “tent city,” the latest tarp-covered camp to spring up in southern B.C. Coleman announced two temporary shelters with three meals a day and medical support.

One is a former nursing home close to the courthouse squat, conveniently located near panhandling and drug dealing spots as well as taxpayer-funded services.

The other offers indoor or outdoor tent space at a former youth custody centre, with a dedicated downtown shuttle bus so these “victims” of “homelessness” don’t have to endure B.C.’s most generous transit bus system.

We weren’t consulted, said the indignant spokespeople for those bringing new-looking tents to take advantage of food and other handouts, offered in B.C.’s warmest climate by the province’s most naïve local government.

But this was just a show for the media by our resident professional protesters, some

of whom Victoria News aren’t really “homeless.”

After the reaction, which TOM FLETCHER Coleman described as “bizarre,” the combined 88 housing opportunities are being snapped up.

Those on welfare will have to fork over their $375 monthly housing allowance, as the province continues to convert more housing and offer more rent subsidies.

It’s no wonder that southern B.C. is the destination of choice.

Coleman said it’s always been a seasonal thing, but this winter has been the highest in a decade, largely due to an exodus of economic migrants from the downturn in Alberta, naturally heading for B.C.’s most desirable real estate.

I asked him about two other homeless hotspots. In Abbotsford, campers have ignored a city deadline to take down structures in a three-yearold camp, after temporary shelter and costly provincial supports

were provided.

A courtroom and street confrontation looms with self-styled “drug war survivors” and their Vancouver legal help.

In Maple Ridge, a tent camp sprang up next to the local Salvation Army shelter, with people cycling through the shelter’s 15-day limit, camping and being fed until they could go back in.

Mayor Nicole Read, who has worked in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, said Maple Ridge took on its own outreach, shelter and housing effort because the province’s $1 milliona-year Salvation Army operation isn’t working.

Coleman is not amused. He said he’s had no complaints about Abbotsford’s Salvation Army shelter, and Read is the only one griping.

And no mayor is going to tell him how to spend provincial dollars. Maple Ridge now has two shelters with accompanying street drugs, prostitution and

crime.

I asked Coleman about the 10-year-study led by Simon Fraser University researcher Julian Somers on the housing, outreach and services in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

This is the heart of B.C.’s “housing first” strategy, where the province has bought and renovated 30 “single room occupancy” buildings, built another dozen and poured in every possible support, including the buyout of high-living executives at the Portland Hotel Society.

“I haven’t had a chance to go over that report yet, but I disagree with the assumption I’ve heard already, because I walk the Downtown Eastside,” Coleman said.

“I don’t know if they do every few weeks to a month, but I’ve been doing it for about nine or 10 years and I can tell you it’s a whole lot better down there.”

Global Citizen initiative popular To the editor: Thank you Kelowna Capital News for your recent coverage of the annual Global Citizen events.

The ‘Taste of Home’ ethnic food and cultural performances was held Saturday, Feb. 13, and it was a very popular free community event. Unfortunately, our ethnic food vendors were overwhelmed with the numbers of hungry guests and ran out of food.

We do apologize for any disappointment felt and are grateful for those attendees who smiled and carried on listening and watching the amazing dancers and cultural performers on stage.

We look forward to increasing the venue size and the number of food vendors next year. We are also looking for more volunteers to help create events like Taste of Home.

Thanks Kelowna for wanting a “taste of home.” Our community is very diverse and makes us all the stronger for it.

Volunteer for upcoming Leap Year day Feb. 29 To the editor: Most Canadians have enjoyed a day off work this February for Family Day, and are now looking at an extra day in their calendar of Feb. 29, 2016, this being a Leap Year.

You’ve had a bit of time to spend with friends and family, to get your chores in order, and now there’s a bonus day coming up this month. Why not consider what you can do with an hour of that day for your community and your country?

You’ll make an extra day’s pay if you work Feb. 29, or maybe it’s just an extra day to do with what you want? Our rough calculations suggest that if just 10 per cent of Canada’s population invested an hour of their time or wages to help community charity organizations, we’d see a direct stimulus to our local economies of some $52 million Laurie Gourlay and Jackie Moad president and director, Vancouver Island & Coast Conservation Society

news _____________________________________________________________________ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Support to help off-set upgrade course tuition hikes Okanagan College is implementing tuition fees for domestic students taking upgrading courses.

But OC officials say government and college financial aid will mean many of those students won’t be out of pocket to pay.

The decision comes in the wake of a 2014 change in provincial direction to charge fees for upgrading and ESL at post-secondary

institutions.

On Tuesday, the OC Board of Governors decided to implement the tuition fee schedule for domestic Adult Basic Education (ABE) and English as a Second Language (ESL) programs.

Okanagan College is among the last B.C. institutions to do so.

Accompanying the tuition fee schedule, though, the board also chose to implement a

college bursary program that will supplement the province’s Adult Upgrading Grant (AUG).

As a result, students taking fundamental and intermediate level ABE and ESL courses can get their tuition covered if they apply for the financial aid.

Students taking advanced and provincial level ABE and ESL courses will still be eligible for financial aid but income

thresholds will come into play.

The tuition fees will come into effect in May. Domestic students taking any level of ABE or ESL courses between May and September will be eligible for full tuition support, and the income thresholds for students taking advanced and provincial level courses will come into effect for the fall semester.

The move to

implement tuition fees comes in the wake of a provincial policy shift and elimination of grants from the province to postsecondary institutions in the province to offset ABE and ESL tuition.

In Okanagan College’s case, that grant reduction totalled $765,000 annually.

“We are doing what we can to minimize barriers for students who need upgrading

courses,” explained Roy Daykin, the college’s vicepresident of finance and administration.

“While the college needs the tuition revenue from these programs to offset the loss of provincial grants, we also respect the need to give students access to the courses they require to move ahead in their career and education plans.”

Tuition for an 80-hour course over a semester would be $400. A maximum tuition has been established—$1,600 per semester for a fulltime student, as per provincial policy.

Daykin notes that as part of the decision to charge tuition for ABE and ESL, Okanagan College will allocate some of the funds to the bursary program to support students who require financial help with tuition.

Students will have to apply for provincial grant funds before being considered for the college bursary program.

OC will also be hiring additional financial aid officers who will help affected ABE and ESL students apply for provincial or ollege grants.

In the 2014-15 academic year, 1,638 domestic students took ABE courses at Okanagan College. Eighty-one domestic students took ESL courses in the same period.

Arrest made in 7/Eleven shooting Kelowna RCMP have made an arrest in connection with a shooting outside the 7/ Eleven store in Rutland on Feb. 15.

Police arrested a 17-year-old Coldstream youth in the Vernon area on Tuesday night.

Police are recommending several firearms related offences, as well as offences related to various alleged breaches of court order conditions of release.

The youth suspect remains in police custody.

He is expected to appear in court today.

In the aftermath of the shooting, police said they didn’t believe the shooting was a random attack, saying there was “reason to believe the incident was related to drugs, and that the suspect and victim were known to each other.”

According to witnesses, a 46-year-old male was shot in the leg.

extra cautious, checking pedestrian walkways and bike lanes over their right shoulder and keeping an eye out for walkers.

“A lot of the things we’re seeing here and part of the cause of the collisions are motorists that aren’t paying attention, especially those that are turning right.

People need to take that extra second look to make sure there are no pedestrians coming up on their blind spot,” said

Holmes.

“For pedestrians, as you step out into the crosswalk you need to have eye contact with the driver even if that means getting their attention by holding your hand out.

“There needs to be an understanding between the driver and pedestrian before the crossing can take place.

“If neither party knows what’s going on, then tragedy occurs.” @KP_media1

Tips for walkers to keep safe PEDESTRIANS

• Make eye contact with drivers as it’s hard to see pedestrians when visibility is poor in fall and winter.

Never assume that a driver has seen you.

• Focus your full attention on the road and traffic around you as drivers may not stop or obey traffic signals.

• Remove your headphones and leave your phone alone while crossing the road.

• Wear bright and reflective clothing or gear to make it easier for drivers to see you especially in wet weather, at dusk and at night.

• Before you start to cross, look left and right for oncoming vehicles and make sure vehicles in all lanes are fully stopped. Then look left and right again for vehicles while you’re crossing.

• Be careful at intersections. Watch for drivers turning left or right through the crosswalk. Drivers may be focused on oncoming traffic instead of also scanning for pedestrians in the crosswalk.

• Always cross at designated crosswalks, not midblock. Follow pedestrian signs and traffic signals and don’t cross on a yellow or red light.

• On roads with no sidewalks, walk facing traffic so that you can see oncoming vehicles. Make yourself visible to drivers by wearing bright and reflective clothing, and consider using a flashlight.

DRIVERS

• Focus on the road. Always leave your phone or any other hand-held electronic device alone while you’re driving.

• Be ready to yield to pedestrians – especially when turning in intersections and near transit stops.

• Look twice for pedestrians before turning especially in fall and winter when visibility is poor.

• Give yourself extra time and space to stop in case a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street.

PASTA HOUSE

TRANSIT USERS

OPEN

• Make sure that you’re visible when you’re walking to and from your transit stop. Wear bright and reflective clothing or gear so drivers can see you in all weather conditions.

• Be cautious at transit stops. Avoid running for the bus and taking shortcuts. Always cross at designated crosswalks, not mid-block.

news _____________________________________________________________________ SUNRYPE CELEBRATION

Kelowna landmark company marks 70th anniversary An iconic Kelowna company will celebrate its Okanagan heritage with a 70th anniversary marketintg campaign.

SunRype plans to launch a campaign which will include television, online, radio, outdoor, sampling and social media.

Consumers visiting SunRype’s Facebook page will be able to enter the 70th anniversary contest for a chance to win monthly prizes and are invited to share their thoughts and memories of the company.

“We love hearing from consumers about how they grew up with SunRype, and how we are still a part of families today. We are really proud of our longstanding Canadian heritage,” said president and CEO Dave McAnerney.

“There aren’t many Canadian brands on the market and we think our success is attributable to the fact that we have continued to innovate with healthy products that meet the needs of today’s busy, active consumers.”

SunRype still operates in the heart of the Okanagan, where the company first launched its

flagship 100% pure, not from concentrate Blue Label apple juice.

Still the number one selling apple juice in Canada, SunRype plans to bring out a special edition “retro” pack of the one-litre juice based on the original design from 1979.

Since its start in 1946, SunRype has branched out from apple juice into a wide range of products, including fruit and veggie juice combinations, a number of low-calorie, low-sugar options, as well as snacks.

“And there’s a lot more to come in 2016, including the launch of a line of iced teas, and a unique new tomato and mango juice called Tomango,” said McAnerney.

“We’re also transforming our range of fruit and snack bars —including Fruit to Go, FruitSource, Energy bars and the newly launched Fruit & Chia—to be completely gluten-free, nut-free and vegan.”

At the heart of SuRype’s corporate brand philosophy is a focus on families, community, and giving back. Over the years, SunRype has supported many causes,

Learn the early warning signs of bullying…

Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-natured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying.

The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in more fights than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents.

Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations.

Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying.

Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this type of bullying has increased considerably.

Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property also is considered physical bullying.

The theme this year is Kindness

Kindness is universal — a trait we encourage everyone to openly express every day. The phrase “one size fits all” works for one simple reason: it stands for inclusivity, both in clothing and in our everyday lives. We’re all gloriously different, but we all have the capacity to put kindness out into the world. “Kindness is one size fits all” is more than just a slogan. It’s the underlying philosophy behind the anti-bullying movement that we hope will live on beyond Pink Shirt Day. After all, kindness never goes out of style.

We encourage everyone to show their support by wearing a pink shirt. You can purchase the “official” Pink Shirt, buttons, or pins online at PinkShirtDay.ca or from our local partner, London Drugs.

Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumours about a person is another form of bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-in-hand with cyber bullying.

Signs your child is being bullied

Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school. Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid going to school.

While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters’ academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.

Signs your child is the bully

Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may find satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs that your child may be a bully include: • easily becoming violent with others • having friends who bully others • blaming others quickly • comes home with belongings that do not belong to him or her • getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators • picking on siblings • not accepting responsibility for actions There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain that bullying is not the child’s fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behaviour continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority figure.

Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their children’s behaviour. Counselling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.

Sports UBCO HOOPS

Graduating players (from left) Katy Klomps, Chandler Proch, Kailin Jones, Breanna Beamish, Katelyn Dejong and Katie Wuttunee helped the UBC Okanagan Heat secure the school’s first ever Canada West regular season women’s volleyball title with a weekend sweep of Mount Royal.

Heat to host v-ball Final Four Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

ALLENDOUGLAS/CONTRIBUTOR

A pair of losses on the final weekend of the regular season didn’t prevent the UBC Okanagan Heat from entering unprecedented territory in Canada West basketball.

Claire Meadows’ women’s program finished the 2015-16 campaign at an even 1010, the best record in the Heat’s brief five-year history in the CIS. UBCO put up a fight against the high-powered Thompson Rivers Wolfpack, losing 78-61 on Friday night. Fourthyear forward Chloe Kennedy paced the Heat with 10 points and four rebounds.

On Saturday, with the President’s Cup on the line, another game effort from the Heat ended in a 70-60 loss to the ‘Pack.

Meadows, in her first year guiding the Okanagan team, said her team played hard in Saturday’s loss, just as the Heat did all season long.

“I thought we were pretty resilient,” Meadows said of her team’s effort in the final game of the season.

“We had three really good pushes. TRU went on a run and we came back with some of our own.

“It really symbolized how our team played this season.”

Emily Kanester led the Heat with 20 points, while Vanessa Botteselle added 12.

The Heat, who were in playoff contention until the final weekend of the season had four more victories in 2015-16 than

GREYSTOKEPHOTO.COM

Ten wins a new high for Heat program

Emily Kanester and the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s team finished the CIS basketball season with a 10-10 record. their previous high.

UBCO HEAT MEN

Like the UBCO women, the Heat men chased an Explorer Division playoff spot right to the final weekend of the regular season.

In the end a pair of losses to the firstplace Thompson Rivers Wolfpack left Pete Guarasci’s UBCO team (8-12) on the outside looking in.

On Friday in Kamloops, the ‘Pack prevailed 7766. Mitch Goodwin,

in his fourth season of university basketball, led the Heat with 24 points.

On Saturday, the Heat’s offence was clicking but it wasn’t enough in a 8879 loss to the conference champs.

Aldrich Berrios led the way with 17 points while Buzz Truss and Goodwin chipped in with 16 apiece.

TRU also won the 2016 edition of the President’s Cup, an annual competition between the two schools.

A team record for victories, a first-place finish, and home court advantage for the Canada West women’s volleyball championship.

There isn’t much more head coach Steve Manuel could have asked from his No. 1-ranked UBC Okanagan Heat during the 2015-16 regular season.

The hometown Heat closed out its schedule with a twomatch sweep of the Mount Royals Cougars on the weekend, to finish atop the conference with a program-best 22-2 record.

More importantly, the Heat will have a week off before hosting the Canada West Final Four for the first time in their five-year CIS history, March 4 and 5 at the Kelowna campus gym.

“It’s really been a storybook season for us,” said Manuel. “We lost only two matches, both in the fifth set, and found a way to win every other match we played.

“Getting to host gives us that bye, it’s like winning a quarterfinal without playing it, so now we have a 10-day lead-up where we can get the rest we need, and also train hard to be well prepared for that semifinal.”

Prior to Saturday’s match, the Heat honoured its six graduating players who were playing the last regular season home games of their careers—Breanna Beamish, Katelyn DeJong, Kailin Jones, Chandler Proch, Katy Klomps and Katie

Wuttunee.

For Wuttunee and her fellow grads, winning the conference title and hosting the Final Four are the undisputed highlights of their careers to date. Still, the fifth-year middle assures the Heat’s work is far from over.

“I think that I can answer for all of us when I say (winning Canada West) probably is (the biggest moment),” Wuttunee said. “I think we still have our sights set further, so it’s hard to think of this as the final, best thing that we’ve accomplished. I think that we’re gonna go further.”

Since those six grads played their first matches five seasons ago, the women’s program has been on a remarkable upward trajectory ever since.

“When these six players first came to our program, we hadn’t played a single CIS match,” Manuel said. “(After Saturday’s match) they stood there with their teammates as the No. 1 team with a Canada West title and only two losses. To do that after five short years is unheard of, and a real credit to all our players.”

On Friday, the Heat officially clinched the regular season title with a 3-0 win over Mount Royal (25-17, 25-26, 26-24).

Megan Festival had 11 kills while Beamish added 10. Emily Oxland led the match in assists with 26.

On Saturday, more of the same in a 3-0 win (25-18, 25-13, 25-18).

Proch was named the player of the match with a match high 23 assists.

HEAT MEN HONOUR GRADS

The UBC Okanagan men closed out the 2015-16 season by honouring their three graduating players.

The Heat bid an official farewell to Jeremy Fostvelt, Kyle Pankratz, and Leo Schober during a ceremony prior to Saturday’s match against Mount Royal.

“It’s a great group of guys to play with, and it’s been an awesome team environment,” Pankratz said.

“Losing streak’s been not fun, for sure, but you learn to deal with it, learn to cope with it. I think we’ve definitely grown as individuals, and gotten better as people going through this program.”

Kelowna Curling Club teams swept the B.C. senior championships on the weekend in Richmond.The men’s champs (top, from left) are skip Bob Ursel, third Dave Stephenson, second Fred Thompson and lead Don Freschi. The women’s champs (from left) are skip Diane Foster, third Leeanne Ursel, second Cindy Curtain and lead Sherry Heath.

Kelowna’s Bob Ursel couldn’t have written a better script for his return to competitive curling.

After sitting out the previous five seasons with an ailing knee, the former world junior champ led his rink to victory over the weekend at the 2016 B.C. senior men’s curling finals in Richmond.

Ursel, third Dave Stephenson, second Fred Thomson and lead Don Freschi posted an 8-1 record at the championship, securing the title on Sunday with an 7-2 victory over Victoria’s Wes Craig.

“It’s an awesome way to come back,” said Ursel, 51, who hadn’t curled competitively since the spring of 2010. “I’m just having so much fun playing with these guys, it showed me how much I missed being able to play.

It’s great getting back… and what a way to start.”

As an added bonus, Bob’s wife, Leeanne, helped Diane Foster and her Kelownabased rink capture the B.C. senior women’s title in Richmond with a 5-4 victory over Marilou Richter and her Vancouver/Penticton rink in the final.

Foster, from White Rock, won the Canadian

and world senior curling titles in 2009 curling out of Alberta.

For Ursel, second Cindy Curtain and lead Sherry Heath, it was their first provincial championship win.

“I’ve been trying to get one since I was 12,” Leeanne said of her first purple heart. “It feels great. We have such a supportive team, it was nice to win with them.”

While the Ursel rink lost just one game and pretty much dominated the men’s draw, it wasn’t quite as smooth for the Foster team.

The Kelowna rink had its ups and downs posting a 4-3 record, before

reeling off three straight wins in the playoffs to clinch the title.

Foster said in addition to being skilled curlers, her team’s success was largely due to their positive and relaxed demeanour.

“It’s just a very chill team, no one gets dramatic, it’s all just matter-of-fact for us,” said Foster. “We went out there as friends and wanted to play well, and we did that. It was nice for all of us to get that first B.C. jacket.”

The rinks will represent B.C. March 28 to April 2 at the Canadian senior curling championships in Digby, Nova Scotia.

WHL HOCKEY

Rockets into stretch run Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

With less than a month remaining in the regular season, the push is on for the Kelowna Rockets.

With 12 games left— including tonight’s date in Everett against the Silvertips—the defending champs are embroiled in a battle for first place overall with the B.C. rival Victoria Royals.

The Rockets (41-16-30) trail Victoria (40-16-33) by a point for top spot in the Western Hockey League, but Kelowna holds two games in hand.

And while the race for first is very much in the minds of Rockets players

and coaches, head man Brad Ralph said it’s important for his team to stay in the moment.

“It’s a big week for us and we need to focus on Everett first and foremost,” Ralph said.

“Finishing first (and 50 wins) those things are the back of our minds, but we just need to make sure we’re playing the game the right way.

We’re confident if we do that, then the standings and the accolades that come with it will take care of themselves.”

If Kelowna can win at least nine of its last 12 games, the Rockets would become the first team in CHL history to

record four consecutive 50-win seasons.

As for the Silvertips, the Rockets have had their struggles with Everett so far this season losing the previous three meetings.

“They have good goaltending, they block a lot of shots, they commit to team defence and work extremely hard,” Ralph said of the ‘Tips.

“They grind out games and we need to be able to respond to the way they play.”

The Rockets will visit the Vancouver Giants Friday, before returning home to host the Spokane Chiefs on Saturday. @capnewsports

Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

This Friday night at Royal LePage Place, the West Kelowna Warriors and Salmon Arm Silverbacks will meet in a game of limited importance to close out the B.C. Hockey League’s regular season.

A week later, there will be infinitely more at stake when the longtime Interior rivals face off again to kick off round one of the playoffs.

The Warriors (37-17-21) and Silverbacks (29-175-4) will open the best-ofseven division semifinal series on Friday, March 4 in West Kelowna.

In a tightly contested season series to date, the Warriors have won three of five games while outscoring the ‘Backs by the slimmest possible margin, 16-15.

Warriors head coach and GM Rylan Ferster is expecting both teams to bring their best to the postseason.

“The ice gets smaller, the battles get bigger and the intensity level goes up,” Ferster said of the playoffs.

“The (Silverbacks) are a really good team. You look at their lineup and they’re solid right from their goaltender (Angus Redmond) all the way out. Their defence is strong, they have size and skill, and they have a very

They really have no weak spots.

“You can throw the regular season out the window, those records mean nothing,” he added. “Both teams will be ready to go.”

Salmon Arm to 10 points and solidifying secondplace finish in the Interior Division.

While he cites a team effort as vital, Ferster said the Warriors’ recent prosperity all starts in goal, with the play of both Matthew Greenfield and Keelan Williams.

“I think our goaltending has given us a chance to win pretty much every night,” Ferster said.

“Both guys have played well down the stretch and we all know how important goaltending is to any hockey team’s

With the playoffs closing in, the Warriors have saved their best hockey of the season for the last month.

West Kelowna has won 11 of its last 12 games, stretching its lead over

success.”

The Warriors have had some notable contributions from other areas of the club, perhaps none more impressive than the exploits of Jonathan Desbiens.

The 19-year-old forward from Montreal has an eye-popping 15 goals in his last 12 games and club record 44 this season.

“JD has been great,” Ferster said of Desbien’s play.

“He’s obviously scored a lot of goals, but on top of that so many of them are big goals and timely goals.

“He cares so much about his game, he works really hard at it and he’s getting rewarded for it.”

Desbiens and his Warriors teammates will have had plenty of rest by the time the playoffs begin, having played just twice in 13 days prior to Game 1.

“It’s a long season, you prepare to make the playoffs and be ready to play, so it will be good to have the rest and get ready,” Ferster said. “Playoffs is such a fun time of year for everybody. Once it starts, there’s a lot of hockey to play in a short time, so you need to be prepared for that.”

In addition to being familiar rivals on the ice, the Warriors and Silverbacks have a connection behind their respective benches.

Salmon Arm head coach Brandon West worked as an assistant to Ferster with the Warriors during the 2011-12 season.

The rising tide of those wanting self-employment One of the best pieces of advice I was given when I left my government career was from a friend of mine in Saskatoon who said: “Self-employment, Joel, is not for the fainthearted.”

But in the modern era of company downsizing and an already tight job market, self-employment continues to be an increasingly attractive alternative.

In my previous government /corporate life, I recall the mantra: We are all self-employed.

It was a call to action on how we should treat our internal customers as if we were in bus iness for ourselves.

It was good training for operating your own company because whether you are

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG employed or selfemployed, it’s all about getting and keeping customers and building solid, meaningful and long-term relationships with them.

So in your own enterprises, practice being self-employed. It may shine a whole new light on how you relate to your customers. In the world of self-employed, the greatest reality is you only get paid when you work.

I do miss my government and corporate days when eight hours was a paycheque even on

those seemingly slow days when I caught myself “surfing the ‘Net” for periods of my day, or I went to the nearby mall at lunch to buy a birthday card for my wife. I still got paid. I got to eat lunch.

When you look at that job security against the uncertainty of selfemployment, you’re probably saying to yourself: “I don’t want to take the risk, I like it where I am just fine, I like the benefits, I like the daily routine, the security, the bi-monthly paycheque.”

Guess what folks, I miss that to at times. Mostly, I miss the daily interaction with colleagues, friends and clients. But, there are rewards and trade-offs to

self-employment.

The freedom is intoxicating, that feeling of accomplishment is selfassuring, the sense of success is rewarding, and working without a safety net is a real confidencebuilder and adventure not to be missed.

Remember, entrepreneur selfemployment means you control your own destiny and income.

Getting up in the morning and walking down the hall to your home office brings on a different kind of “rush.”

Plus, not much traffic at 7 a.m. It’s really not that bad.

The challenge of selfemployment can be overwhelming if you have always worked for someone else.

The very idea of selfemployment sends ripples of fear and anxiety into the hearts of traditional workers. Simply put, most people are followers who don’t wish to be independent. Society has spawned a compliant workforce that happily does its bidding.

So, why would you really even contemplate joining the ranks

There are a few things a woman should take into consideration when resuming exercise after pregnancy—pelvic floor strength and abdominal muscles.

Restoration and strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles is very important and should begin in the early days and continue weeks after delivery.

Whether the delivery was vaginal or C-section, special attention needs to be paid to the postpartum woman’s abdominal wall.

A widening of the gap between the two bands of the Rectus Abdominus muscle, known as Diastasis Recti, may not resolve spontaneously after pregnancy.

Pregnancy and childbirth puts a woman’s body through one of her life’s most strenuous events. Laxity in the ligaments, an increase abdominal girth, an exaggerated forward tilt of the pelvis can alter the center of gravity, affecting dynamic stability of the spine and pelvis.

Keeping You Moving BRENDA WALSH these added stresses to the spine can lead to postural fatigue and discomfort.

Physiotherapists are experts at analyzing posture and alignment and can prescribe postural exercises and advice on body mechanics.

Kegel exercises are an important part of prenatal health. The pelvic floor muscles lie at the base of the pelvis, and run from behind the pubic bone to the tailbone.

Differentiate a pelvic floor muscle contraction from the buttock muscles.

To avoid increasing intra-abdominal pressure, don’t hold your breath and push. Instead, think of pulling the two side walls of the vagina toward midline, and lift up inside. Hold this contraction for 10 seconds, without holding your breath.

Immediately after a vaginal delivery, many women find it hard to feel a contraction in their pelvic floor muscles.

It works much easier if “muscle memory” exists from previous practice.

If you’re having difficulty with this, an internal examination by a women’s health physiotherapist can determine the extent of the problem.

Other concerns, such as uncomfortable scarring after an episiotomy, can also be addressed.

We have three layers

All women have some degree of Diastasis Recti, or abdominal separation in their third trimester of pregnancy.

At eight weeks post-partum, if the gap is marked (greater than two fingers width), if untreated it will likely still be a problem after a year.

Diastasis Rect It can aggravate low back problems and result in a midline “doming” of the abdomen under load.

The underlying cause is an abnormal increase in intra-abdominal pressure during exertion, not the pregnancy itself.

If you suspect you have a Diastasis, try to avoid activities that strain on the abdominal wall.

This would include situps, especially over a large ball, heavy lifting, yoga postures that include back bends, Pilates “100’s.”

This is until you have learned to contract the inner Transversus Abdominus (TrA) muscle to support the wall.

Two thirds of women with Diastasis Recti have some level ofpelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor muscles and TrA work synergistically to support the pelvic organs, especially during exertion.

Good tone in these muscles helps to prevent and treat prolapse and stress incontinence, which can show up in mid-life.

Dust mites pose a serious health risk to a significant portion of the population with more people developing allergies and asthmatic reactions every year.

Ninety percent of dust mites are found in and on mattresses. They feed on our dead, bacteria-infested skin cells that collect on carpet, fabric and mattresses.

Vacuuming alone will not eliminate them. Steam cleaning (hot water extraction) does not kill dust mites and has been shown to raise humidity leading to increased bacteria and dust mite levels. So what can you do?

The Oxy-Dry® system is the perfect option for people with allergies or asthma. We use our exclusive Ozone Boost system to sanitize and deodorize. Ozone is an odorless and natural purifier that will eliminate all bacteria, germs and viruses on contact while also eradicating dust mites. There are no harsh chemicals or odors to aggravate the allergy sufferer and no risk of over wetting. As the ozone evaporates back to natural oxygen, mattresses are left fresh, clean, sanitary, dust mite free for up to 6 months and dry in as little as 20 minutes!

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province.

Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy.

Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

To learn more about auto insurance fraud, go to icbc.com/fraud

Other types of fraud are less obvious.

Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims.

They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud.

By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates.

Fraud. It cheats us all.

MALE

Sauce is a very handsome canine but you wouldn’t know it from this picture! We know nothing of his background so his new family & he will be learning new things every day about each other. Our observations of Sauce is he is energetic, very large and just as strong. He will need a dominant pack leader because it is obvious he did not have one in his past life. We feel that with the right companion, he will develop into a wonderful family friend, companion and protector. But please be prepared to put the time and work into him. Please give him the chance he truly deserves. It’s not his fault his previous humans did not love him enough to help him develop into what he’d really like to be - a loving and loyal member of a family unit.

4 MONTHS DWARF RABBIT MALE

Some kind people found Pumpkin at 8 weeks old and brought him to the shelter.

Since he was so little, he has been with a foster family & neutered. He is litter box trained, uses a sipper, and loves humans, but, since I am so young and active, I am not much of a cuddler. Pumpkin needs a roomy x-pen, and lots of supervised exercise time to run in your home. If you would like to meet me, SPCA staff will put my foster family in touch with you so you can see what a handsome, charming boy I am! P.S. Indoor homes only please.

Continued warm weather will soon mark the end of the Stuart Park outdoor ice rink operating until next winter.

STUART PARK

Outdoor skating winding down The skating season is coming to an end at Stuart Park’s outdoor rink.

Continued warm temperatures this past week have meant an increase in daytime rink closures with the possibility of the outdoor rink fully closing before the end of February.

Until then, the rink will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., ice maintenance and weather permitting.

“The rink will re-open in the evenings when the surface has

frozen again. There is no set closure date for the rink as we’re trying to keep it open for as long as possible,” said Steve Fagan, City of Kelowna arenas and stadiums supervisor.

“We recommend checking rink conditions before heading out by viewing the still-image web cam on the city’s website. If the rink is closed, a yellow caution sign will be visible.”

Skate rentals are available daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. until the

end of skating season.

The public is required to abide by the rink regulations as posted on surrounding signs and encouraged to wear helmets.

The adjacent fire pit will be turned off when the rink closes for the season.

Earning extra money while on parental leave David Brown Contributor

“Can I work while collecting EI?” – Canada’s Working While on Claim Program This post was inspired by my wife, who after giving birth to our son a few months back, asked if she could work a few hours here and there while on parental leave to get out of the house and

earn some extra spending money.

It turns out that people receiving most types of employment insurance (including regular benefits and parental benefits) are allowed to work, although it may not result in much extra cash.

Under a previous program, EI participants were allowed to earn the greater of $75 or 40 per cent of their weekly entitlements and their

amount.

Any amount earned above this threshold will be deducted dollar for dollar.

Confused? Fortunately Service Canada provides some useful examples.

Christine’s weekly insurable earnings are $800. Her earnings threshold would therefore be $720 ($800 x .90 = $720).

If Christine is collecting EI benefits based on weekly insurable earnings of $800, we would deduct the equivalent of 50 per cent of her earnings from her EI benefits, until those earnings reach $720 (the earnings threshold).

Any money Christine earns that is more than $720 (the earnings threshold) will be deducted from her EI benefits dollar for dollar.

Christine’s weekly insurable earnings are $800. This means that her weekly EI benefits would come to $440 ($800 x .55).

Assume that she applied for a short term, temporary job as an Election’s monitor in our upcoming election.

She will be paid $15/h and will work 12 hours over two days and earn $180.

Since she earned less than her earnings threshold of $720 we

would need to calculate the adjustment to Christine’s EI benefits as follows: $180 x 0.5 = $90 $440 – $90 = $350 Working for Election’s Canada will result in Christine receiving $180 in employment income and $350 in benefits, for a total of $530.

REGIONAL DISTRICT

Don’t wait to prepare for potential flooding With a higher than average snowpack at the upper elevations in the Okanagan, some Central Okanagan property owners should be reviewing their flood preparedness plans.

Those who’ve had issues with flooding in the past; live next to creeks and streams or with lakefront properties should take some time to review and update their plan to prepare and protect their property from potential damage from rising water levels.

With the warmer temperatures over the past week, some creeks and streams are starting to gradually fill with midelevation snow melt.

The Central Okanagan Emergency Program reminds property owners in flood prone and lowlying areas that they are

responsible for having a plan as well as the tools and equipment necessary to protect their properties from possible flood damage.

Seniors

It’s healthy to let loose and not always live in serious moments Growing up in Kelowna was like heaven on earth.

As a child, there was no greater playground to run wild and free.

Down to the lake in the summer for a day of swimming and laughter, out into the snow in winter to spend hours making a snowman or throwing snowballs at my sisters.

Just being outdoors was like having a trunk full of creative costumes to put on, trying on what would make you happy each day and allowing your imagination to play out the moment’s fancy, a child’s dream world of wonder.

I am giving this some thought as my husband and I head off for a week of down time together after a couple of months of a very heavy workload.

Since there has not been much time for frivolous play in my life of late, as I pack my bag I want to throw in a bit of carefree abandon to take with me on our journey.

I love what I do and the people I serve, but it is time to explore some playfulness in my life and put myself and my husband first.

I just spent a glorious weekend with 12 women exploring the gifts of imperfection and it has reminded me, as well as them, of the value of letting go and being spontaneous.

Being in the moment is something I think we all sometimes get away from. Worrying about the future or commiserating over the past can take us into a heaviness or an anxiety that erodes our sense of excitement about what is happening today.

“Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly” is a wonderful phrase from C.K. Chesterton that is going to be my mantra

Seniors’ Concerns MARJORIE HORNE for the coming week.

To play is to engage in an activity just for the fun of it, just for the excitement and stimulation of it.

When you’re playing, you’re fully absorbed in what you are doing, right here and right now, and anything you do in a playful spirit, even if it’s work, puts you into a pleasurable flow.

People who make a living being creative know that you have to tackle a project in the spirit of play to enlist the imagination and get in touch with your originality.

To let your creativity and unique artistry come through your whole being can be a surprisingly delightful adventure.

As we enlist our inner artist into expression, sometimes our inner critic comes along for the ride.

It seems that these two guys are joined at the hip and when you invite one, you get both.

Some of the simplest pleasures are when we are just hanging out with people we love, making something with our hands or just enjoying the beauty of a walk on a sunny, winter’s day.

Stella Resnick offers six ideas to explore play and creativity in her book The Pleasure Zone.

1. Breathe life into your artist. Take a few minutes every day for spontaneous creativity.

First focus your energy with breath control. Take three cleansing breaths— long inhales through your nose all the way to the top of your chest, then blow out through slightly puckered lips all

the way down to the very bottom of your exhale.

See if there is any tension in your body and stretch to release that tension. Now doodle on a note pad for a few moments, to keep your creative wheels greased.

2. Write a few paragraphs on the following theme: “If I had the courage to do it, I would…” Your little essay could be symbolic or literal, fiction or fact.

Get your inner critic out of the process. Critics are spoilsports.

3. A special exercise for procrastinators: Say you need to get something done that you have been postponing because you either hate doing it or, underneath it all, you just don’t feel you’re going to do a good enough job. Approach it as an opportunity to be playful. Take a few cleansing breaths, a few deep sighs, and tell yourself to “have fun with it.” Then do just that.

4. A special exercise for lovers: Take yourselves out on a date where each one of you is playing a particularly wonderful and funloving alter-ego. It could be Gracie and George Burns, Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in The Way You Were (my personal favourite) or Lucy and Desi. Play, laugh, entertain each other, and be romantically provocative. If you get into a disagreement, see if you can lighten up and fight like your whimsical alter-egos.

5. Find your own means of artistic expression. Write a poem, tell a joke, dance to a tune on the radio, sing with attitude to a friend, play house with a child, make a present for

a sick neighbour, draw your own greeting card for a relative, or play at romance with your lover/ spouse.

So here is to a week of stepping outside my comfort zone and uplevelling the pleasure zone of play.

I’ll share all my adventures with you in

ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

Vancouver troubadour to perform in Kelowna

With a guitar in one hand and a suitcase in the other John Welsh has been performing his eclectic style of music for audiences around the globe for the past decade.

He draws influences from artists such as Ben Harper, Michael Franti, Sam Roberts and Joel Plaskett.

His songs are often inspired by his travel experiences, blending elements of folk, surf rock, reggae and latin.

Welsh has also performed at hundreds of parties, shows and events throughout the greater Vancouver area, sharing stages with artists such as the Boom Booms, Current Swell and Daniel Wesley.

Over the past year Welsh has been touring and promoting his EP ‘On The Road’ charting in the top 50 on the Canadian National Earshot this past year.

In addition to touring the province this summer, Welsh will be recording a full length album followup to On The Road. *** CONCERT Jordan Dean Saturday, Feb. 27 8 p.m.

Streaming Cafe 596 Leon Ave. Kelowna

Jordan Dean was born in B.C.’s Interior, playing guitar since he was 11 years old.

Dean finds his music influences in classic country, Texas country, and other Canadian and Americana acts such as

Corb Lund and Jason Isbell,.

His last appearance in Kelowna was playing at the2014 Keloha Festival.

Both concerts will be streamed live at streamingcafe.net.

CONCERTS Kate & Potvin Friday, Feb. 26 The Streaming Cafe Jasper Sloan Yip Saturday, March 6 The Streaming Cafe 596 Leon Ave. Kelowna Jasper Sloan Yip’s start was humble. A selftaught musician, he gave his first performance in 2007 on a stage he built in his own back yard.

In 2010, he released his restless debut, Every Day and All at Once. Its songs charted on CBC Radio 3, appeared on network television, and landed Jasper showcases at festivals all over Canada.

From the mid-1980s to the early ’90s, The Grapes Of Wrath and The Northern Pikes were responsible for some of the catchiest and most heart-felt singles and videos to come out of Canada at that time.

Fast forward some 20 years later and the vocalist/guitarists from each of these bands find themselves living just blocks away from one another in Toronto.

This realization led to Bryan Potvin (The Northern Pikes) and Kevin Kane (The Grapes of Wrath) getting together to hang out with a couple of guitars for some casual jams, and the conclusion: “This sounds good. Let’s do some shows.”

As a part of the Alternator’s Intermission Series to support local emerging artists, the gallery welcomes Jia Chen.

Chen’s The Archivist examines routine. When Chen wakes up, she draws was she sees: a yawn, the ceiling fan, the driveway. Chen captures these moments with graphite, ink or oils.

Repetition is evident, as the major theme in Chen’s work is time. In Chinese, time and space are one word: Shikong.

The Archivist reveals process, seriality, and attempts to meld the concepts of time with space.

CONCERT John Welsh Saturday, Feb. 27 10 p.m.

Doc Willoughbys 353 Bernard Ave. Kelowna

The Canadian rock band Hedley returns to the friendly confines of Prospera Place for another concert appearance in Kelowna on May 17, a stop on the group’s current Canadian tour. The opening act will be Carly Rae Jepsen.

UBCO’s School of Social Work, the exhibition is part of a three-year study supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health and Research.

The study is designed to build community and knowledge to understand immigrants’ experiences of health and wellbeing in relation to their immigration and settlement.

Reading the captions, familiar places like the global food aisle at your local grocer, or the skating rink at Stuart Park may be a source of anxiety to one new

Canadian, or a place of comfort to another.

Stages of Immigrant Settlement invites the community to see Kelowna from the identities and experiences of new Canadians seeking to integrate and belong.

The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of our creative community.

CONCERT Madchild Saturday, Feb. 27 Level Night Club

275 Leon Ave. Kelowna Award winning rapper Madchild, from Swollen Members, will make a stop in Kelowna on his tour to promote his new album Silver Tongue Devil, which debuted at number 3 on the Canadian album chart.

Madchild quickly shot up the music charts in Canada and around the world touring with everyone from Tech N9ne, Black Eyed Peas and Avril Lavigne, winning multiple Juno Awards and Much Music Video awards.

That wave of success was followed by his much publicized battle with addiction to Oxycotin.

Now he is using his music to empower his fans and help many fans overcome their own addictions, and openly giving his voice to the prescription drug epidemic issues in Canada.

Classified, born Luke Boyd, uses witty wordplay over top a simplified,

catchy beat and singalong chorus.

He has found the secret of his success so far in the rap world to be his ability to break down the barrier between the performer and the man.

A dedicated family man, Classified’s charisma and approachability extends to both his onstage and off-stage

personas that engage even the most discerning hip-hop fans and critics alike.

In his career, he has sold more than 500,000 records, earned multiple Juno Award nominations and had two singles reach top-10 status in Canada.

“I try and write as if you’re sitting in a room

The family of Doreen (Dodie) Smith sadly announce her passing on Feb 5th, 2016 in Kelowna BC at the age of 89.

She is lovingly remembered by her children: Lindsey, Jock, Courtney, Tannis, Kim and their families. Mom and dad moved to Williams Lake in 1950.

Never one to sit idle mom quickly became very involved in the community. Always fashion conscious and one who loved to shop, what better than to own a dress store, which mom opened shortly after arriving.

Always up for an entrepreneurial endeavour she and a close friend started the first kindergarten classes in the basement of the Anglican Church. Her love of the arts was realized in the many productions she acted in with the WL Players Club, as well, she donned her Mother Goose costume to rescue many little ones who had fallen during the WL Skating Club Annual carnivals. Mom served on the Board of Directors for the Williams Lake Hospital during its construction. As a breast cancer survivor she became an independent counsellor visiting women going through breast cancer diagnosis. Though never formally trained, mom spent a few years as a substitute teacher, teaching homeeconomics at the junior and senior schools. She was an active committee member for the design and building of the Sam Ketchum Memorial Pool. Mom became a licensed realtor and worked many years for Murray Hume Agency.

She proudly represented the Cariboo Gold Rush Region during Expo 86. Mom loved entertaining and made their home a welcoming gathering place for friends and family who often were the taste testers for her newest and latest recipes. Her artistic flare and creativity was evident in her home decorating, fashion style and as an accomplished artist. Relocating to West Kelowna, mom and dad enjoyed retirement fully. They enjoyed traveling to Hawaii, cruising, visiting good friends across the country and loved the many, many winters spent in Yuma, Arizona. Mom was community minded a doer, an entrepreneur, but above all a homemaker extraordinaire and an inspiration to us all.

Many great memories were made at Chimney Lake where the “Smithco Gang” congregated regularly. It was mom and dad’s wish that the family gather at Chimney Lake once again to celebrate their life and scatter their ashes together.
