Art students looking to launch their careers Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Swamped. It’s the only way to describe the last couple of weeks before the fourth year students’ end of year show. Every April, the halls of UBCO’s fine arts building seem to teem with paintings and
drawings and canvasses, half finished. There are ladders standing erect in rooms where one can’t figure out what a person might climb to and couches left askew in the hallway. And there are students, seemingly everywhere, no one looking their best.
If there were a portrait of end-of-term stress, it could be painted within these walls and yet, by the end of this week, their last week, the building’s studios will be repainted, the furniture whisked away, the prints and oils, watercolours and sculptures completely assembled in a showcase to
launch the careers of 34 brand new artists. Among those, this year, are Heather Leier and Lauren Gemmell, each with a very different creative side to show the audience. Where Leier’s work is lighthearted and exploratory, Gemmell’s work is poignant and per-
sonal—and both will make you think. “I’ve had an interest in science-y things because my sister has a degree in biology,” said Leier, a silkscreen printmaker who has 100 different prints to choose from for the show. See Exhibit A6

Anyone getting their daily exercise Monday morning at the Kelowna Family Y Monday faced a chilly detour. Around 11 a.m., the alarm signalling a chlorine leak was sounded, and orders to evacuate were issued. It meant everyone from kiddies in day programs to swimming seniors were huddling in doorways for warmth— some only dressed in a speedo and towel. Although there was some apparent discomfort, most were in good spirits, happy that emergency services were so quick on the scene and that nothing had gone seriously awry—chlorine leaks can have dire consequences, as was seen in a recent leak in Williams Lake where 70 people inside a local swimming rec facility had to be taken to the hospital. “I should have brought a beach umbrella,” said one man, who was dressed for such an occasion at the very least. In total, the outdoor adventure was a one-hour

As soon as the gate opened, the girls flooded out into the field, leaping into the air, off all four feet and running about like children. Still furry with their heavy winter coats, nearly a dozen female alpacas— natives of the Chilean, Bolivian and Peruvian Andes—frolicked about the fenced pasture Saturday at Oyama Lake Alpaca Farms just as if they’d just been let loose from school. Darlene Homenchuk and Jim Covington started the farm about 12 years ago and say they adore the alpacas they’ve raised.
“We’ve raised our lovely alpacas from birth, treated them all the same, and yet their personalities are all so different, just like children,” said Homenchuk. Each has a favourite habit, like nuzzling a neck or offering kisses on the cheek, and each animal’s face is full of personality and very different from the others. But, this is the last week this season they’ll be burdened with those thick, fuzzy coats. Next Saturday the shearer will visit Oyama and each animal will lose about five pounds in fiber, which Homenchuk will spin into yarn. That will be turned into a wide ass-

sortment of clothing and home decorating articles, all for sale at her on-farm gift gallery or online. The shearer has a custom-made table for the alpacas, so he can carefully but quickly remove the long, thick fur from each animal. All that’s left when he’s finished is the characteristic topnot, a bushy tail, and perhaps some socks. First, though, each animal has the dust and grass blown out of her thick coat. Once it’s been sheared off, the fibre is prepared for spinning into yarn. Alpaca yarn is light, very warm and soft. While the animals are sheared, they will also have their toenails clipped and get their shots. Some object, but most behave well for the annual event. The shearing will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on April 14, when all 15 members of the herd will be shorn. Visitors are advised to bring their cameras as the newly shorn, naked-look is quite fun, said Homenchuk. The gift gallery will also be open . In additon to yarn goods, the farm also sells alpaca manure, which has been composted, ready to spread on gardens. Call ahead to make arrangements. While visitors are welcome all day, the shearing will be finished by noon. For details, go to: alpacadelights.com or call them at 250 548-4004.

Final undergraduate art show for students Exhibit from A1
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
AN EASTER tradition in Kelowna, The Way of the Cross Walk, was held on Good Friday led by Roy Lechner (right) as he carried a cross while leading a procession to several stops around the downtown core.
Rather than hanging her work on the wall, she’s hoping to build an installation with the prints and is trying out a waterfall-type wall of her mushrooms. The mushroom prints are particularly unique, made from fallen spores. While each piece may look like the iris of an eye, they’re actually the result of leaving a mushroom under a bowl until the spores dropped onto a piece of paper, creating a pattern for the artist. “I just stumbled on it one day, either on the Internet or a book, and started playing with it,” she explained. A similar curiosity brought out a vibrant blue and red wisdom tooth. Playing with a goldleafed tooth on a chain around her neck, Leier says the inspiration here was no big leap—she just had her wisdom tooth

pulled and got braces on her bottom teeth. Gemmell, by comparison, has a very serious subject matter. In a bold
move, she’s used typically traditional watercolours, generally reserved for still-life work and landscapes, to explore her
family’s dance with Alzheimer’s Disease. “Originally, I didn’t even think this was what I was going to do for my fourth year, but my dziadzio (Polish for grandfather) passed away in the summer and he suffered from Alzheimer’s,” she explained. Her work explores the idea of loss surrounded by worry, for herself and her cousins and the generations who will come next. Gemmell’s family has Alzheimer’s Disease on both her mother and father’s sides of the family and she admits it’s something she’s currently processing. “Every one I do is usually a family portrait, someone important in my life,” she said.
There a picture of a baby cousin and her grandmother. A forgetme-not, the flower used by the Alzheimer Society of Canada, folds into the larger portraits of her and her grandfather working in his garden—her main memory of him. Cast in the soft hues of the watery paint, they suggest a line of thought that’s not fully formed, of someone thinking things through. The final show will be in the UBCO Fine Arts building and is open to the public from April 17 to 24, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is free to the public and students will be selling their work. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Winery caught in Ponzi scheme Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A former Vancouver-based notary public allegedly ran a Ponzi scheme that raised $83million from 218 investors who believed their money was being used to finance deals for an Okanagan winery. The B.C. Securities Commission is alleging Rashida Samji promised returns of 12 to 30 per cent a year if investors placed their money in her notary trust account, to be used as collateral for in-
vestments by Mission Hill Winery, as well as other unnamed wineries. The problem was, they’re alleging, it was all fiction. “Mark Anthony (the company that owns Mission Hill) had no knowledge that she was claiming to have this business relationship with them,” reads a document signed by Paul Borque, executive director of the B.C. Securities Commission. Smaji was allegedly able to perpetuate the ruse, by paying out early investors with the money
she gained from subsequent ones. “The money investors received back from Samji did not come from wineries. Instead, Samji paid existing investors money from new investors under the guise of investment fees.” Since about 2003, there have been approximately $63 million in payments from Samji to investors. The BCSC said the Society of Notaries Public of B.C. suspended Ms. Samji on Feb. 7 and obtained a court order ap-
pointing a custodian over her practice. On Feb. 8, they obtained a court order appointing a custodian over Samji’s practice. Samji subsequently submitted her resignation on March 6. Samji is the sole director and officer of the two corporate respondents, Notary Corp. and Samji & Associates, which are both B.C. companies. Her hearing before the commission will be held May. 1. kmichaels@kelownacapnews. com

Couple woke up to find bullet holes in their townhouse wall A Kelowna townhouse complex on the 1300 block of Findlay Road was pierced with a stray bullet Wednesday morning, prompting a call to police. Once on the scene, police confirmed the hole was in fact from a bullet. Further investigation revealed that another unit in the complex had also been hit, said Const. Kris Clark. “Although the shots are believed to be linked, the tenants are not, and the
shots appear to have gone astray,” said Sgt. Derek Williams, of the Kelowna General Investigation Section. “The townhouse complex is full of families with children, and it was fortunate that no one was hurt.” Police believe this to be an isolated incident and that the residences were not targeted. The Kelowna General Investigation Section continues to investigate the incident.

▼ OUR VIEW
NDP leader needs to show he’s his own man
A
fter Jack Layton died, everyone knew that whoever replaced him as NDP leader would have giant shoes to fill. Layton’s talent for uniting the party and reaching out to people across the country made him a sort of folk legend, even before cancer stole him at age 61. Newly selected NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, the 57-yearold Quebecer who helped Layton transform the party from a virtual non-entity in that prov-
ince to a substantial force, taking 58 of 75 seats in last year’s election, is clearly a leader of some repute. What is also clear is he doesn’t have the charisma Layton had, as the orange crush flattened the Liberal red machine to become the official Opposition to Stephen Harper’s Conservative majority in May 2011. Mulcair has been a virtual unknown on the West Coast —unlike Layton—for all except diehard political watchers. But does a leader known for
being prickly have to be the second coming of Layton to win the hearts and minds of people west of Thunder Bay? Harper has shown that a leader can come across to many as cold and calculating, yet still win a majority in parliament. Let’s remember that even under Layton, the NDP won just 15 of 77 seats in the West, including 12 in B.C. To win over non-NDP voters, it’ll take more than crisscrossing the country connecting with people, as Layton famous-
ly did. Mulcair will be put under the microscope about everything from his policies to his personality, by his supporters and critics alike, in the three years leading to the next election. In that time, he must prove he is his own person, a leader who stands on his own feet. And he must avoid handlers who would try to make him a kinder, gentler version of himself.

The political spotlight falls on Conservative leader Cummins
T
he information age might have sped up B.C. voters’ mood swings, but the basic dynamic hasn’t changed since the days of Social Credit. When familiarity breeds contempt, people vote to reject the familiar and see what happens. Or as one radio talk-show caller summed up his decision to climb on board the B.C. Conservative bandwagon, he knows two things about leader John Cummins: “He’s not Adrian Dix and he’s not Christy Clark.”
It’s been more 21 years since Gordon Wilson reshaped B.C. politics and launched the modern-day B.C. Liberal Party with a single quip in a leaders’ Tom debate between a bickFletcher ering Rita Johnston and Mike Harcourt. Cummins has about a year to show he’s earned his rising poll numbers, and to refute the conventional wisdom that he’s the best friend the NDP has had since Wilson put them in power and later joined them. So let’s get to know Cummins a bit better. He’s 70, and has an 18-year
B.C. VIEWS
record as a Reform-Alliance-Conservative MP. His Ottawa days are mainly remembered for battling treaties and aboriginal-only fisheries, and for being the first Reform MP to reverse himself and take the MP pension. That pension pays him about $100,000 a year as he tries to build a second political career in B.C. Another legacy of Cummins’ federal record is his support for the harmonized sales tax. As he hastens to clarify, he supported Conservative legislation to enter into HST deals with any province, which Ontario and B.C. subsequently did. Cummins said B.C. could have brought in the HST at a lower rate to
reflect its broader reach, as Atlantic provinces did. But they tried to make it a “tax grab” and now they’ve “poisoned the well” for many years. “We’re going to have to pay the price I guess, in the sense that where it has been introduced, it has been shown to have grown business,” Cummins said. “Think tanks on both the left and the right have come to that conclusion.” To me this beats the NDP’s crude coffee-shop populism that simply ignores HST benefits for small business and the poor. Speaking of crude, Cummins further distinguishes himself from the B.C. Liberals by endorsing the pro-
posed Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat. He applauds the federal government for moving to place limits on submissions to federal environment hearings, citing the thousands of Internet sign-ups that have clogged the Northern Gateway hearings. His record on aboriginal issues suggests he has little sympathy for territorial objections from First Nations, those with treaties or those without. The April 19 by-electionsin Port Moody-Coquitlam and ChilliwackHope will offer the B.C. Conservatives a chance to present some policy alternatives.

Important advice on composting City
To the editor: Re: article written by reporter Judie Steeves in March 29 Capital News, “Quality compost can be hot stuff.” Great article, however, Mr. Dack will be happy to learn that the Okanagan area now does have someone to help teach the community how to compost. Interesting how he has discovered his method of additions to acquire a composted material. As a Manure Maven through the Langley Enviromental Parners Society (LEPS), I offer information, workshops, and on-site consultations. All participants receive a copy of the newly published “Land Management Guide for Horse Owners and Small-Lot Farmers.” Mr. Dack also explained in the article his intention to redirect the heat produced from his compost pile to heat a building. Koodos to that, and good luck. The process Dack was speaking of is referred to as the thermophilic stage. This is actually the second stage in the four step phase of composting. The first active phase initially in
composting is the mesophilic stage, which includes mechanical breakdown by larger organisms such as earthworms, beetles, nematodes and other soil insects such as springtails, sowbugs and ants. The insects physically break down the material to increase the surface area. Temperature ranging from 20 to 50 C can occur within the one week time frame of this phase. At the thermophilic stage (second active phase), the larger organisms leave the compost pile and it is colonized by thermophilic bacteria that break the compost down further. These bacteria survive only at very high temperatures, which is why it is important to monitor the temperature of your pile. At this important stage, pathogens are killed along with weed seeds, E. coli, Staphylococcus, and C. botulinum In the right conditions temperatures can reach up to 70 or 80 C. This should only be maintained for a few days over this week or so process. Then we enter the curing (or passive) phase. This mesophilic stage shows the larger organisms re-
colonizing the pile and continue the breakdown process as the temperature of the pile starts to drop. The fourth and final phase— maturation. In this curing stage, it is really important because it allows the microorganism the opportunity to retain the nutrients in the compost. Immature compost can have the same affect as raw manure in that if the nitrogen content is too low then the compost organisms can strip the pasture grasses of their nitrogen contect to complete the composting process, such as unsightly bare patches. Why compost? Because it saves money, improves pastures and property and it protects the local environment. Let me leave you with this fact according to the Agricultural Waste Control Regulation: Did you know that manure piles cannot sit for longer than nine months?

▼ THE ECONOMY
He who giveth can taketh away
To the editor: In my experience, whenever our governments are forced to either infuse cash into makework projects, or give easy rebates or tax concessions to stimulate our economy and keep us employed, that is followed with a recovery period to bring government debt to a manageable level. To prevent inflation and get a reasonable hand on our budget shortfalls, our provincial government is trying to hold our public service contracts to a zero wage increase at this time. Inconvenient to some perhaps, but much easi-
Open at 7:00 am
Come try the best
er than the method employed by our federal government in the 1980s. In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, labour and material costs were rising at about 15 per cent a year. During this period, the federal government had many costly programs in place, one being assisted housing. This program gave tax breaks on both hard and soft costs for dwellings built during this period. This and many other expenditures had put the government in serious debt. Through the Bank of Canada, the federal government allowed interest
rates to rise to over 20 per cent, which put our national economy in a freefall. Property values plummeted, jobs were lost and employers either were forced to cut costs or fold up and leave the country. Many businesses failed. Many people could no longer afford their homes. Families fell apart. Foreclosures on properties of all types were abandoned and the banks were left holding uncollectable mortgages. I know this sounds now like it could never have happened, but it did. So now we come to the demands of teachers.
Rae’s criticism hard to swallow
To the editor: Hmmm…Bob Rae? Would this be the same Bob Rae who, as NDP premier of Ontario in the late ‘80s, in the first year of his mandate, took Ontario from a budgetary surplus to virtual bankruptcy? From which Ontario has still not recovered. Hmmm… Liberal Party leader? Would this be the same Liberal party that
brought us the multi-billion dollar ‘longgun-registry’ boondoggle, while ‘goldplating’ the MP pension plan? And we should listen to him as he shakes his finger (and jowls) in righteous indignation at the Conservative government? No thanks! Ed Copeman, Kelowna
Do the math on water rate increase
To the editor: Your story about North Westsiders being outraged by a water rate increase is very misleading and inaccurate. Diane Baldwin may be a good board member but her math skills and the editor’s proof reading of the facts are not
good. It does not tell us if the rate increase is for a year or some other time period. Stating the rate increase is 190% is very misleading. A rate increase from $432 to $632 is an increase of 46.3%, a large increase but certainly not 190%. Terry Anderson, Kelowna
I am not against teachers, but I feel uncomfortable with their current contract demands, which I feel are unacceptable. To accept their demands would set the benchmark for future union negotiations. Right now, with lending rates at unsustainable low levels, I feel it is only a matter of time until the other foot will fall. Inflation in excess will only hasten a correction, but I hope the solution of the early ‘80s will not come to pass again. Ed McAree, West Kelowna
must protect lakefront from bad growth To the editor: This is a shortened version of the letter I sent to Kelowna city council which expressed my hope that council is really looking at the long-term when the city approved a marina in the downtown area. I grew up in Sicamous on a lovely one-acre parcel of lakefront property. My parents had no idea when they sold it, the property use would change to a motel, then a marina. Their old property now looks cluttered and unkept. There are so many marinas, houseboats and condos on the Sicamous lakefont that the neighbours have not only lost their view, but now have to put up with extra traffic, with and without trailers, along with fumes in the air and human garbage in the water. The area is now looking ugly. You don’t see much of nature anymore, and it’s all for the almighty dollar. I hope this does not happen to Kelowna, but it seems to be the direction that city council is going. Then there’s the bit about the Fintry Queen paddlewheeler, a part of Kelowna’s history that many share fond memories of. I remember the one in Sicamous too—nicer to see than noisey motor boats that are also more dangerous. Betty Geddes, Kelowna

CONTRIBUTED
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN 20 MINUTES…Last Wednesday at 10 a.m., local residents joined together simultaneously to participate in one big spring clean- up. The Community 20 Minute Make Over involved hundreds of people from Peachland to Lake Country, who all stepped outside to put in a little elbow grease and make our community sparkle—picking up litter, sweeping sidewalks, graffiti busting, some even tackling illegal dump sites. “A huge environmental salute to everyone who took part in this event,” said regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart. “From all the coworkers that participated, to the students, families, seniors groups and volunteer organizations, it’s encouraging to see our community mobilize for such a positive feel good cause. And, it’s inspiring to see the impact we can make in a mere 20 minutes when we pool our resources.” Stewart says just some of the many groups that volunteered Wednesday morning include a team of 30 from Disney’s Club Penguin, the Tower Ranch residents group, Little Learners Discovery Preschool in West Kelowna, Central Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, Gordon Park Village seniors, Tallus Ridge residents, CTQ Consultants, Peachland Baptist Church, the Bank of Montreal (downtown branch), Space Center Storage Plus, and the Kelowna and District Society for Community Living.

n the midst of all the media coverage surrounding last week’s federal budget, it would have been easy to miss the new funding announced for mental health research and training. I was encouraged by promised investment in the areas of mood disorders and the ongoing fight against stigma and mental illness. Canada’s government laid out a plan to spend $5 million for the development of a national network of patient-focused depression research and intervention centres as well as $200,000 for anti-stigma mental health training for health care professionals. More details will certainly be released in the coming weeks, but in a news release shortly after the budget announcement, the Mood Disorders Society of Canada said it will work with the Mental Health Commission of Canada and other partners to support this new network of research centres. Essentially, the network will support more than 80 researchers and clinicians specializing in depression and working toward a comprehensive research plan focusing on suicide prevention and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is hoped that by collaborating efforts across the country, researchers will be able to move forward more quickly in the goals of learning more about the biological and psychosocial determinants of suicide, PTSD and other mood related issues in order to improve detection and help for those at risk. In addition to learning more about what triggers and underpins these conditions, the network would hope to im-

gies for these conditions by ensuring patients have access to new diagnostic tools such as biomarkers and the most effective treatments. The network would also undertake clinical trials of novel pharmacological or cognitive treat-
ments. The initial $5 million investment by the federal government is intended to spur further public and private sector investment. A further $200,000 will be used for continuing education for family physicians and other health care professionals in the area of mental illness and will help to continue to raise awareness and reduce stigma associated with these conditions. As I have said in numerous columns over the years, depression is a huge challenge facing our society and economy. It is the leading cause of workplace disability in Canada and costs more than $50 billion a year in health care, criminal justice, lost income and productivity. It is encouraging to see our government put some effort toward facing these challenges not only for the good of our economy, but for the very real benefit it will have on the lives of Canadians living with mental illness. Time will tell if this proposed national network of research and intervention centres will prove to be effective at moving us forward.

CORD does a spring flushing
The Central Okangan Regional District has begun its spring water main flushing program. The work is scheduled to continue until Friday, April 13. Environmental services staff are flushing mains in five older CORD water systems between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. CORD communications officer Bruce Smith said: “When flushing is taking place, water pressure can vary slightly and there may be some slight discoloration in the water. Please check your water prior to use. We recommend that you avoid doing laundry when flushing is taking place on your system. If you experience discoloration, run the cold water tap until the water runs clear.”

Making a case for why not to risk electing an NDP majority
P
olitics is never dull—especially, it seems, in British Columbia. The past few weeks have been no different, and the biggest story was Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen leaving the B.C. Liberal caucus. In my role as government whip and as a caucus colleague, I knew John reasonably well—or thought I did. To say I was disappointed would be a huge understatement. Not just because he called our integrity into question, but also because his actions damaged the free enterprise coalition in B.C. As Premier Christy Clark said: “All John did was make it a little easier for Adrian Dix to become premier.” Whatever your personal politics, that’s an accurate assessment. At the risk of oversimplification, there are two large and distinct voting blocs in British Columbia. Well over half (roughly 60 per cent) of voters believe in free enterprise, and vote for parties that support it. Around 40 per cent have tended to sup-
Cafe meeting focus on cancer On Monday, April 16, 7 p.m., there will be a special Philosopher’s Café presentation at the Okanagan Jewish Community Centre with guest speaker Dr. Ross Halperin. Halperin is the professional practice leader in radiation oncology at the B.C. Cancer Agency Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre for the Southern Interior in Kelowna. Halperin will be accompanied by Cynthia Waldek-Peters, director of development for the cancer agency centre. This event is free to the public.

Ben Stewart port the NDP. History shows the NDP have only won elections when the centreright vote is split. And again, whatever your personal politics, there’s a substantial difference of philosophy between the NDP and we who believe in free enterprise. It’s not alarmist to state an NDP government would raise taxes and spend that revenue very differently. The reasons for van Dongen choosing to leave the caucus are his own, but no keen observer of B.C. politics could fail to see the irony—by joining a party that professes to be further to the right, his actions increase the
chance of B.C. moving to the left. A shift that would not be gentle or gradual, but seismic. The 1990s saw almost no investment in infrastructure, but unrestrained and unsustainable spending on social programs. We have chosen to make investments; in the Okanagan alone, this government has invested hundreds of millions into improving and upgrading transportation infrastructure, a new university, housing developments, and massive upgrades to Kelowna General Hospital. I remember what it was like trying to start a business in the ‘90s under a provincial government that didn’t support business, or seem to understand economics at all. Y You often hear the premier say that government doesn’t create jobs, and that’s true. The vast majority of British Columbians work for private companies. But a misguided government can kill jobs. It’s not just higher taxes for business, but individuals and families. B.C. families generally have

one of the lowest overall tax burdens in Canada, including income taxes, consumption taxes, property taxes, health care premiums and payroll taxes. We have reduced provincial personal income taxes for most taxpayers by 37 per cent or more since 2001, and today an additional 325,000 people no longer pay any B.C. income tax. I am extraordinarily proud of this government’s record. It’s strange that van Dongen chose to make his move so soon after Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s budget, praised across the country for maintaining a commitment to fiscal discipline, and maintaining B.C.’s well-deserved reputation as a safe harbour for investment. That’s why I am so disappointed. Not because I was a colleague, but because I am a concerned British Columbian. Ben Stewart is the Westside-Kelowna Liberal MLA.

NEWS ▼ WEIGHT LOSS
Taking on the challenge of a lifestyle change Barry Gerding EDITOR
There is more to losing weight than just exercising on workout machines at the gym. That is one of many lessons that nine participants in the Extreme Pita/ World Gym Weight Loss Challenge have learned at the half-way point of their three month weight loss campaign. Dave Hamel, one of nine participants in the challenge, said his participation in the contest has been an eye-opener for him about nutrition and proper exercise habits. “One of the great things about taking part in this has been not only the idea of trying to lose weight, but the knowledge about things such as nutrition and how to property work out that I’ve learned from the (World Gym) trainers as well,” Hamel said. “I didn’t really have a clue what to expect when I got into this, but it’s been great in how to makes you
rethink both your physical and mental well being.” Hamel, who has lost 17 pounds so far as of last week, said he has taken to heart the message of it’s important to stay active. For example, Hamel, 36, works for a collection agency in Kelowna’s downtown core. Every two hours during his workday, he now gets up from his desk and walks to his car, parked at an onstreet metred space, and moves it to another spot. While the need to do this is sparked in part by a lack of available parking, it’s also an opportunity. “It’s a brisk walk because I only have five to 10 minutes each time,” he said. “Participating in this challenge has helped me more aware of the things I was accustomed to doing in my daily life that I needed to change.” Another example Hamel learned was about weight lifting, and how repetitive weight training at lesser weights offers more benefit than trying to push

Cory Steinkopf signed on for the Weight Loss Challenge for a specific purpose—she wanted to lose 50 pounds before her wedding in Mexico later this year. “They told me at the start not to get fitted for my wedding dress until I had completed the program,” Steinkopf laughed. Now she knows why, because she is losing weight. Steinkopf, 28, wants to lose 50 pounds, and she has lost 16 so far. She said her participation in the Weight Loss Challenge has shown her the way to making positive lifestyle and nutrition habit changes. “I’ve learned so much from being a part of this,”

she said. “Once you get over that initial hump of making yourself go to the gym three to four times a week, it becomes part of your routine,” she said. “I find now that I have so much more energy, I sleep better, I’m making healthier choices for what I eat.” Rhonda Laternus, a personal trainer at World Gym who is working with the Weight Loss Challenge participants, says being physically active and making healthy nutrition choices are key to losing weight and not gaining it all back. “Eight per cent of losing weight is about how you eat, what you eat and how you hydrate yourself,” Laternus said.
She said it’s important that we all pay more attention to the contents of the food we eat, whether you are eating at home or eating out. “One of the great things about Extreme Pita is that you choose all the ingredients you want in your pita which empowers you to make healthy choices,” she said. “People are in the Weight Loss Challenge for 90 days, but our goal is for this not be a temporary thing for the people taking part. We want to change people’s lives so they can lead healthy and active lifestyles.” bgerding@kelownacapnews. com

Alternative option for treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome A pril is Irritable Bowel Syndrome awareness month. IBS is a common disorder that affects the large intestine (colon), causing cramping, abdominal pain, bloating gas, diarrhea and constipation. The symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome can vary widely from person to person and often resemble those of other diseases. For most people, IBS is a chronic condition, although at times symptoms may be worse and at other times they may improve or even disappear completely. As many as one in five adults experience IBS. It’s not known exactly what causes irritable bowel syndrome. It may be due to food being moved too quickly or too slowly through the intestinal tract, causing gas, bloating and diarrhea or constipation. Ab-
NEEDLE NOTES
James Kaufman normalities in the nervous system or colon may play a role in IBS. Certain foods, stress, hormones, and illnesses may trigger IBS symptoms. Because it’s not clear what causes irritable bowel syndrome, Western medical treatment focuses on the relieving of symptoms. Treatment may include fiber supplements, eliminating foods that trigger symptoms, and medications such as antibiotics, anti-diarrhea medications and anti-depressants, among others. Many people may have only mild symptoms
of irritable bowel syndrome that can be managed by learning to better deal with stress and making changes to diet and lifestyle. However, sometimes symptoms can be disabling and may not respond well to medical treatment. Acupuncture offers a positive option for IBS sufferers. Often irritable bowel syndrome is used as a catch-all phrase for all cases of abdominal pain which do not have another explanation. In Chinese medicine, the various cases of IBS do not fall into one broad disease category, but are broken down into many different disorders because the causes can be so varied. This is why individual symptoms may vary so greatly from person to person, because the underlying problem is usually very different for each
person. In Chinese medicine terms, IBS may be classified as a type of abdominal/intestinal pain, epigastric/stomach pain (occurring in roughly half of IBS sufferers), or as a type of diarrhea, depending on the individual symptoms experienced. For IBS with abdominal/intestinal pain, the cause is usually due to the liver-energy becoming blocked, which may further cause problems with the spleen’s digestive functions. The blocked
liver-energy causes symptoms of bloating, constipation, and belching, as well as moodiness and irritability, symptoms which may be aggravated by emotional upset. If the spleen is also involved, there will also be fatigue and alternation of constipation with diarrhea. Acupuncture treatment helps to move the liver-energy in order to resolve the retention of food, relieve pain and improve digestion, and corrects spleen functioning to
resolve diarrhea and improve energy. For IBS with epigastric/stomach pain, the cause can be due to a variety of different imbalances with the stomach, leading to improper or incomplete digestion of food. This can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from pain, nausea and vomiting, to belching, headaches, diarrhea, or constipation. The specific symptoms experienced will depend on the specific problem that is occurring with the stomach,
whether it is due to heat or cold damaging the stomach, or because the stomach-energy is blocked. Acupuncture offers very effective relief for IBS sufferers, relieving the symptoms of the condition as well as helping to resolve symptoms and prevent future flareups, allowing those with IBS to live a more regular, symptom-free life.

Time to spring forward with a healthy smile Carol Gulliford CONTRIBUTOR
“You don’t have to brush and floss your teethjust the ones you want to keep.” April means spring is here, a time to enjoy the budding of flowers and other new beginnings. For many of us spring brings renewed energy and interest in our overall health.
The mouth is often described as being the gateway to the rest of the body. Maintaining good oral health is an important part of being healthy. We are now learning that poor oral health may be linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes heart disease and respiratory illness. Maintaining a health mouth and body is all about prevention.
Here are a few tips to help you spring forward with a healthy smile! Brush your teeth every day, twice a day. Brushing daily helps to remove plaque that causes tooth decay and gum disease. If you use a power toothbrush, choose one that has a rotation/oscillation action. Fluoride toothpaste will help keep the outer layer of the teeth hard and resistant to the acids that
cause tooth decay. Floss your teeth every day, once a day. Flossing daily helps remove plaque from between the teeth. If flossing is difficult, floss holders can make it easier. If you have braces or bridges, interdental brushes are an alternative. Eat and drink well. Foods that are nutritionally healthy are also good for your oral health. Limiting sweet, sticky snack foods and sug-
ary drinks will reduce the number of acid attacks on your teeth. Drink less sugar and more water. Sugary drinks increase the risk of tooth decay. Plain water is the best thirst-quencher, especially between meals, and it is also good for your teeth. Visit your dental professional—regular check-ups and professional cleanings are the best ways to ensure your
mouth is healthy and free of tooth decay and gum disease. Check out the websites outlined below for more information about dental health: For Infants and children:www.interiorhealth.ca/YourHealth/InfantsChildren/Pages/DentalHealth.aspx For children and youth: www.interiorhealth.ca/

A mother’s account of the horrors of environmental illness EMOTIONAL RESCUE
Annie Hopper think it was blurred. She was having frequent headaches, nausea, exhaustion, trouble sleeping, depression and on and on‌And often different symptoms or combinations on different days. But there were fewer and fewer days when she felt well enough or had the physical ability to function normally. Social events were now out of the question— from date nights with her husband, lunch or din-
ner with friends, to large gatherings such as attending her children’s basketball games, theatre, movies or concerts. To say that her life was altered would be to enormously understate the situation. Even natural and undyed fibers made her sick. Her mattress made her sick, the plastic components in her car made her sick, men’s deodorants and after-shave, laundry products, hair and body products, her shoes, and clothing. It seemed every avenue she followed led to another dead end. Nothing helped permanently. She only got worse. I was powerless to help—and it seemed, so were all the ‘experts.’ At that point, Suzi had
come across some information about the dynamic neural retraining system and asked my opinion. I encouraged her to give it a try—after all, she had nothing to lose, right? Since then, I have no words to describe how it has been to see her emerge as her ‘old’ self. My beautiful, talented, joyful, life-loving daughter is back. She is vibrant and healthy. I am filled with gratitude that there was someone, somewhere who could help my daughter. Suzi only had to find her —and commit to doing the work.�

oday’s column is the personal account of a mother who was frustrated at every turn in trying to get treatment for her daughter. She saw multiple doctors, specialists and environmental consultants. She had her home assessed for molds and electromagnetic fields. Endless blood tests and a change of diet, taking supplements of all kinds—nothing worked. But then she tried the dynamic neural retraining system. And the change in her daughter since, she says, has been miraculous. Here is her story: “At first, my daughter Suzi would get headaches when she went into a room that had been newly painted or carpeted. Walking into a department store with its perfume smells could set off a generalized malaise. Then I began to notice that Suzi was feeling “fluish� for days at a time, every other week or so. Most days she struggled just to do the basics, some days she felt so drained and nauseated that she never dragged herself out of bed. She complained of ‘brain fog’ and confusion, fatigue and just feeling sick. This was a young woman who had been healthy and enjoying life. There is no precise moment that encapsulates the horror of what was happening to my daughter. However, the morning I went with her to her first appointment with a neurologist remains vivid. I was worried and my training as a registered nurse didn’t help, as I knew the possibilities that could account for her symptoms and all of them were scary: brain tumor, or any of the progressive degenerative diseases of the nervous system. That day she could not hold a pen, and could not write her name on paper. She had ataxia, loss of voluntary muscle control, and could not walk a straight line, could not walk backwards, tilted so far to the side that she would fall over. She experienced brain fog, hyper-reflexivity in her legs, tremors and weakness in her hands, numbness in her feet and hands. I can’t remember if her vision was affected, I

Credit union works to prevent fraud As part of national Fraud Prevention Month, Valley First has been educating its members on how to recognize, prevent and protect themselves from fraud. The elderly are often considered one of the largest at-risk groups for fraud. Consider the story of a Kamloops senior who recently visited her Valley First branch to withdraw $2,000 cash. Recognizing this was unusual be-
haviour for the member, the branch employees politely enquired about the withdrawal. It was revealed this elderly member had been contacted by a phony lawyer who claimed her granddaughter was in legal trouble in Quebec and to send money immediately. “More and more instances of fraud are being targeted at those most vulnerable,” says Valley First Kamloops branch man-
ager Donna Erickson. “In this scenario, it was fortunate our branch employees knew enough about their member to recognize a large cash withdrawal was far from ordinary. Sadly, not all cases end this way.” This type of fraud, known in the industry as vishing, tricks people into giving personal details or sending money to bogus officials or organizations. However, it is far from the only scam victimizing

unsuspecting customers. “There are many different types of fraud from card cloning to identity theft and computer hacking to exploitation from family members,” said Cheryl Croeze, Valley First’s assistant vice-president of retail banking. “The best defense against any type of fraud, however, is the same—education and vigilance.” According to the Valley First experts, there are measures we can all take to protect ourselves from becoming a fraud victim. “You should never give out any personal or financial information unless you have 100 per cent confidence in who you are giving it to,” said Croeze. “Never give out any passwords or PINs and understand your financial institution should never ask for them, either.”

CAN CRUSHER… UBC Okanagan firstyear engineering students Braydon Rogers, of Kelowna, and Cara Main, of Vernon, demonstrate how their can-crushing machine works. Sensors determine the size of the can and sorts them accordingly. Engineering professor Ray Taheri, whose Applied Science 170 course culminates with the year-end design competition, says the project requires teams to develop multiple concept designs, evaluations and prepare a computer-assisted design model of the working concept, build a prototype and demonstrate it publicly The annual can crushing event was held last Thursday at the Kelowna campus.

Recognition for family winery culture, acknowledging their contributions to Canadian family business. Summerhill Pyramid Winery, along with the winners from each chapter across Canada, move ont to become finalists for the National FEYA Award, to be handed out at the biennial CAFE Symposium May 23 to 25. Past regional award recipients included Wyatt Auto Parts, Prestige Collision, Cedar Creek and Quails’ Gate Estate Winery. The award is sponsored by national Presenting Partner, BMO Harris Private Banking. When Stephen Cipes first visited the Okanagan in 1986, the New
York developer believed he’d found unique conditions to produce “intensely flavoured small grapes”— the perfect base for sparkling wine. Cipes brought grape clones from France and “personally planted them on my hands and knees.” Summerhill follows organic growing practices—no herbicides or pesticides Of the winery philosophy of business: “We love to be hosts. We want people to feel genuinely welcome in our home,” he said. “I try to empower my employees to exude that love. “That’s ideal for what we do here. We’re welcoming people from around the world.”

s of Jan. 1, 2012, $20,000 is the total amount of available TFSA contribution room since the program started in 2009. The TFSA (Tax Free Savings Account) is a flexible registered investment available to Canadian residents over the age of 18. There is no tax deduction available when you put money in your TFSA. Under the registered TFSA, when you withdraw the money, there is no tax paid to CRA. Investment income, including capital gains, earned within the account is not taxed, and withdrawals are tax free. Neither income earned within a TFSA nor withdrawals affect eligibility for federal income-tested benefits and credits, such as Old Age Security, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, and the Canada Child Tax Benefit. You want to reduce Line 234 on your income tax return. To maximize tax efficiency for all investments, identify your current and future tax rates and choose investments that have favorable tax treatment. With any type of non-registered investment, your principal amount is not taxable. The principal amount refers to your own money invested. The interest or growth on the principal amount is taxable when received. Should every person contribute to a TFSA? The answer is no. Should every person purchase a TFSA savings account at your bank? The answer is no. High interest credit card debt should be paid first. Paying an extra payment on your mortgage debt annually will pay your mortgage off years earlier. If your financial goal is to purchase your first home in the future, contribute to your RRSP so you can use your accumulated RRSP money to take advantage of the Home Buyers Program. You will receive an annual tax refund on your RRSP contribution. Reinvest your tax refund in your RRSP to increase

FISCAL your RRSP savings. The HBP has assisted FITNESS many Canadians to purchase their first home. There are many different types of investments to put in a TFSA. You can choose savDoreen ings accounts, mutual Smith funds, segregated funds, bonds or stocks. This is an example of a saving account interest rate or growth type of investment. If you put $20,000 into a TFSA savings account at a bank or credit union paying one per cent annual interest, your annual interest income is $200. If your marginal tax rate is 25 per cent, you save $50 in taxes each year. However, if you put $20,000 of a growth investment into a TFSA, the growth of that investment is protected from tax. If the investment grew by eight per cent, that would be a return of $1,600. At a 25 per cent marginal tax rate, you would save $400 of taxes. By using a TFSA to its full potential, you not only give yourself the opportunity to earn potentially higher investment returns, but you will protect those returns from tax. Your TFSA contribution amount will be noted on your notice of assessment. Please keep your own records to ensure the information CRA is showing is correct and up to date. TFSA assets can generally be transferred to a spouse or common-law partner upon death. Visit the government website www. tfsa.gc.ca. TFSAs are being sold by financial institutions to increase their assets and their revenue. Before you sign on the dotted line to purchase your TFSA, review all your options.

y dear friend Charlie Faulkner passed away early last Thursday morning at Central Okanagan Hospice House.

FROM THE GROUND UP
Don Burnett reer in professional music as one of the most respected bass players in the business. While at UBC, he became friends with Bill Henderson, who went on to form The Collectors
?
and later Chilliwack. Charlie’s bands included Mother Tuckers Yellow Duck, The Charlie Falkner Trio and The Wildroot Orchestra. He also toured with well-known B.C. artists such as Susan Jacks and Valdy. He “retired� from the Vancouver music scene in 1994 and moved to Kelowna to care for his beautiful mother, Kay Faulkner. Within a year, he picked up his bass to join a band I was involved with called The Breakers. When our band split up, Charlie was invited to play for respected Kelowna blues band Dog Skin Suit, which he did for the next decade. A few years ago, Charlie retired again. He became a regular member of the Wednesday Men’s group at Mission Creek Golf Course. Although he didn’t hit the ball far, he usually hit it straight and was rarely frustrated with “this stupid game� as he put it. Charlie was not one to complain even after he was diagnosed with his terminal illness a year ago and I am so fortunate to have spent so much quality time with him. His twin boys, George and Gordon, as well as his soul mate Jean Gunderson were all with him at hospice house for his last weeks and he loved them dearly. Charlie also loved his
garden. His mother and father gardened in the same soil for decades. And being of the old school, they introduced loads of manure and compost into it every year. A few years ago, Charlie and I were out working in the garden when a group of Kindergarten aged children walked by while on an outing. One of them pointed to the tow of us and said, “Look, there’s some old people.� We laughed about that since many times over. Charlie’s favourite thing to grow was hot peppers. He would always get the seeds germinated in mid-March in order to plant them out in mid-May after the danger of frost had waned. A few years ago, I wrote an article in Gardens West Magazine about favourite gardening tools, and I asked a few of my friends to tell me about their personal favourites. Charlie’s was an old worn stirrup hoe that once belonged to his grandfather. Some 60 years of use has worn the blade thin but it is just as strong and sharp as ever. I’m going to miss Charlie so much; he was like a brother to me. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m.

Poor ergonomics can lead to repetitive strain injuries Darrell Skinner CONTRIBUTOR
Remember what it was like to ride your kid sister’s bike, or slipping on someone else’s shoe? We instinctively know when something just doesn’t fit right. Industrial design has considered ergonomics for some time and most items that we use, from automobiles to furniture and clothing, to tools, are all based on the concept of “average” sized males or females. Items that are custom made for us are usually a pleasure to use or own. The concept of what is an “average” sized individual has also changed over time. The average height
of a man aged 20-74 years increased from just over 5-foot-8 in 1960 to 5-foot-9. In 2002, while the average height of a woman the same age increased from slightly over 5-foot-3 1960 to 5-footin 2002, and the average weight for both sexes has increased dramatically during this time. The science and study of physical ergonomics involves matching the specific person to their environment. Not only is it uncomfortable to use items that don’t fit, but it also predisposes an individual to increased mechanical stress on joints and muscles. Muscles and joints work most efficiently when used in their midrange of available move-
ment. Awkward postures such as prolonged reaching or twisting eventually stresses the body beyond it reparative abilities and symptoms can develop. Sustained postures will reduce blood flow and increase tension in muscles of the neck or back leading to the development of persistent pain. Postural awareness and exercise is a key component of ergonomics and
self-correcting one’s posture frequently throughout the day is helpful in minimizing strain. Workers in settings with poor ergonomics tend to be less productive and suffer more absenteeism, and employers are beginning to appreciate the benefit of ergonomic work site evaluations. Poor ergonomics are also thought to be a major contributing factor to the development of repetitive strain injuries, such as
tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome. Once these injuries are established they are often difficult to treat and manage. The ideal goal of ergonomics therefore is to help proactively identify risk factors and prevent injuries. Ergonomics are often considered in context of the office or workplace but the principles can be also applied to activities of daily living or sports.
Bikes, golf clubs, or tennis racquets are all examples of items that are most efficient when individually sized to the person. Tools around the house such as pruning shears for gardening or snow shovels can also be ergonomically designed. Physiotherapists are very knowledgeable in identifying potential ergonomic risk factors to prevent the development of injuries, and also consid-
er ergonomic and postural factors once an injury has occurred. Ergonomic advice from a physiotherapist can help you in recovering from an injury and the prevention of injuries, increase productivity, and improve your golf game.

Forum promotes vaccine awareness Zena Ryder CONTRIBUTOR
Whooping cough kills one out of 100 infants under two months of age, and one out of 200 infants aged 2 to 12 months old. Many infants under 12 months who catch the disease are so sick that they need to be hospitalized. It is extremely contagious, and generally begins with symptoms as mild as a common cold. What are the risks of side effects from the whooping cough vaccine, aside from a sore spot and some fussiness? About one child in 1,000 will cry for three hours following a shot; about one in 14,000 will experience an episode of jerking and staring, with no lasting ill effects; about one in 16,000 will have a fever of 40 C or higher; fewer than one in a million doses will cause a serious allergic reaction. A few parents have reported long-term seizures, coma or permanent brain damage following a shot for whooping cough —but these are extremely rare and most likely not even related to the vaccine. But go back and compare that to the risk of whooping cough, one out of 100 newborns who catch it will die. So far, there have been no recent cases of whooping cough in Kelowna, but how long will our luck
last? In California in 2010, there were more than 9,000 reported cases of whooping cough and 10 babies died. More than 600 cases have been reported in Washington state so far this year. And the Fraser Valley is currently experiencing an outbreak of whooping cough, which appears to be spreading to Metro Vancouver. So far, nobody has died and the affected areas are increasing the availability of free vaccines to try to contain the disease. A video on the importance of updating your kids’s vaccinations can be seen at www.tinyurl. com/85rp2e9. Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray has signed a proclamation for National Immunization Awareness Week, April 21 to 28. During that week, the chief medical health officer of the Fraser Health Authority, Paul Van Buynder, will be one of the speakers at a public forum on Sunday, April 22, at UBC Okanagan. Tickets are by donation and all the proceeds go to the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, www.allaboutvaccines. eventbrite.ca.
The ‘Take Care, Take Part’ campaign to raise $6 million will help purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment needed to advance the quality of patient care in the new Centennial Building and to support the transition of KGH to a full teaching hospital. Funds raised will help support the following: A new Emergency Department that will be four times its current size and include a specialized pediatric support area, a mental illness/addictions treatment area, an increased space for patient examinations and an improved waiting area for the comfort of families and caregivers. A new streamlined Ambulatory Care Department where all day surgery procedures will be performed, enabling staff to improve efficiencies in all procedures. A new 180 seat state-of-the-art Lecture Theatre in the new UBC Clinical Academic Campus located next to KGH.

Kelowna softball hurler thrives at Illinois college
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
While watching Ally Lumsden swing the bat at a tournament last June in Oklahoma City, the head coach of the Lindenwood UniversityBelleville women’s softball porgram spotted something special in the Kelowna teenager. Ten months later, Charlie Kennedy’s intuition is proving accurate as the 18-year-old Lumsden has become a mainstay on the LU-Belleville Lynx pitching staff. In her freshman season in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association, Lumsden has posted a 7-5 win-loss record and 3.39 earned run average in 20 appearances. The highlight of her so-far brief collegiate career with the Lynx came March 23 in Buena Vista, Virginia, as Lumsden tossed a perfect game against the University of Maine. Lumsden went five scoreless innings, allowing no hits and no walks, while striking out 10 batters. “It felt really good,” Lumsden said of her perfect game effort. “Not giving up any walks is huge for me. I’ve has some problems with control in the past, but now knowing I can go through a whole game without a walk is a big step for me. It was very exciting.” That Lumsden ended up playing university ball and pursuing an education south of the border—let alone tossing a perfect game—seemed to her an unlikely scenario as recently as last spring. Up until making the trip to Oklahoma with Bernie Penner’s Kelowna Heat midget team in June 2011, Lumsden was largely unsure of her future. “I really didn’t know what I was going to do after high school, what I would do education-wise, or if playing softball was even an option for me,” said Lumsden, who won a provincial bantam B championship with the Kelowna Heat in 2009. “Then when I went to Oklahoma, all of a sudden there was this oppor-

Coach Kennedy liked what he saw when I was batting, so he pulled me aside and told me he was interested in seeing more of what I could do.” Kennedy then sent a videotape of Lumsden pitching off to his pitching coach and, after a brief consulation, the Lynx staff was convinced of her potential. In the few short months since joining the Lindenwood University program, Kennedy said Lumsden has shown dramatic improvement in sev-

eral areas of her game. For starters, she’s added considerable velocity to her fastball, pushing it from 58 to 65 mph. “Since she’s arrived she’s grown stronger,” said Kennedy. “She was a strong kid already, she has tremendous core strength, but with our winter conditioning her total body strength has really improved. “When she got here, she wasn’t throwing nearly as hard,” Kennedy added. “Ally wasn’t using her legs to
drive to the plate. Now she’s using her whole body and she’s overpowering hitters. She’s a mainstay on our staff and we couldn’t be more thrilled.” Still, a fastball isn’t Lumsden’s only effective pitch as it was for so many years playing minor ball. Lumsden has added a litany of pitches to her repertoire, including a screwball, curveball, knuckleball, a rise-ball and a dropball. It’s meant many hours of hard work, in and outside the gym, and
twice-a-week trips to nearby St. Louis to work with Lynx pitching coach Jim Greiner. “We work hard on the both the mental and physical aspects,” Lumsden said. “You need to have both going for you to pitch at this level.” The 2012 season is the first for women’s softball program at LUBelleville and, of the 21 players on the roster Lumsden is the only freshman. Lumsden is also the lone Canadian, not only on the team, but in the entire student body population of 502. It’s made for some interesting conversations with her American-born teammates and classmates. “A lot of them think I talk funny, and I think they talk funny,” Lumsden said with a laugh. “I guess we’ll have to disagree on that one. They laugh when I say words like ‘about,’ ‘sorry’ and ‘pasta’. “I actually think I’m picking up some of their accent. Even when I went home last time my parents noticed it in a few words. I guess that’s what happens when you spend so much time with people.” Speaking of her parents, Lumsden is eternally grateful to her dad and mom, Paul and Pat, for their support over the years. She speaks to them virtually every night via Skype. Despite the occasional bout with homesickness, Lumsden has settled nicely into her new life in the American midwest. “They’re all good people on this team, it’s like having 21 sisters and three dads,” Lumsden said. “I miss home quite a bit, it’s hard being away from my family, but at the same time it’s nice to be away on my own, learning more about myself and growing. I’m pretty busy most of the time, so that helps too.” Lumsden, who has her tuition paid for by the university, is enrolled in the business program with a minor in communications. On the diamond, the Lynx have 18 games remaining before the national championship tournament, May 10 to 13 in Dayton, Ohio, where LU-Belleville is expected to contend for the USCAA title.

OC Coyotes win three straight in homestand
After dropping the first game of a four game set with the University of Calgary, the Okanagan College Coyotes rattled off three straight wins to take three out of four games in Canadian Colleges Baseball Conference action at Elks Stadium on the weekend. Mike Monster, Jeff May and Reid Fisher combined on the mound in a 6-5 win on Sunday afternoon, improving its record to 6-and-6 on the young season. Catcher Tyler Pentland had an outstanding defensive game making two putouts at the plate and assisting on another while Ryan Lucky and Devon Heard drove in runs. The Sunday win was the Kelownabased teams third straight win. On Saturday the young Coyotes shrugged off the series opening loss and swept a double-header from Calgary.
Kiefer Rodway pitched six strong innings giving up two runs and only three hits while striking out eight in a 5-2 win. In game two of Saturday’s doubleheader, pitcher Marcus Drewry went the distance to earn an 8-4 win. A three run double by Lucky that slammed off the left field fence was the big offensive blow and snapped a 4-4 tie, sending the Coyotes to the win. On Friday night, U of Calgary scored four runs in the seventh inning in a 5-1 win. OC starter Zach Burlon had an excellent outing but tired in the seventh. The Coyotes record is now 6-6, good for 1st place in their division and 2nd place overall. They head for Kamloops next weekend for two games with TRU Wolfpack and two with Vancouver Island University Mariners.

A’s jump off to winning start Head coach Evan Bailey had high expecations for his Okanagan Athletics heading into the 2012 B.C. Premier Baseball League season. The A’s didn’t disappoint on opening weekend as they took three of four games from the hometown Vancouver Cannons. In the series opener on Saturday, the A’s took advantage of six Cannons errors to post a 9-3 win. Dillon Kakoshke posted five solid innings on
the hill, allowing just one run on three hits. Nolan Handley doubled and had three RBIs to lead Okanagan’s attack. Morgan Lofstrom and Brandon Johnson added two RBIs apiece.
In Game 2, Rees Weninger provided three innings of shutout relief in a 7-5 A’s win. Handley went four innings to earn the win. Shortstop Josh Croft paced the offense with three hits, two RBIs and two runs scored, while Kakoshke and Lofstrom knocked in two runs each, and Brandon Sonnenberg stole three bases. On Sunday, the Cannons scored six runs in the third en route to a 9-2 win over the A’s.
Sonnenberg had two hits in the loss. In the series finale, James Walker pitched six scoreless innings, giving up just three hits and striking out six as Okanagan won 4-1. The A’s managed just one hit, that from Lofstrom, who also had an RBI and scored twice. Okanagan will open a 16-game home stand this weekend at Elks Stadium as the Langley Blaze pay a visit for doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday.

Exposing youth to the sport of rugby Over the past 12 months, touch rugby has been introduced locally to elementary school students and adult players. Thanks to an initiative by the local men’s rugby team, the Kelowna Crows, the game will now be introduced to emerging athletes as young as four years old. The Kelowna Crows Rugby Club will provide mini-rugby sessions for girls and boys ages 4 to 12. The sessions will be held at the Kelowna Recreation Center fields on seven consecutive Sunday mornings, beginning April 29. These very active and fun one-hour sessions will begin at 10 a.m. each day on the field next to the Cricket Club. The program will focus on learning basic rugby skills through
games and activities. Organizer Ken Boe is also the coordinator of elementary school touch rugby in the Central Okanagan school district. He says that rugby is a great game for young children to learn. “Touch rugby is an excellent foundational sport for young athletes,” says Boe. “It gets the kids up and running in a game atmosphere that is a lot of fun. It also helps to develop hand-eye coordination at an early age and teaches the value of team play for success.” Registration for the program is $20 for the seven week program, which goes towards juice, snacks and a t-shirt for every player. Players can register at 9:30 a.m on April 29, the first day of the mini-rugby sessions. For further informa-
tion about the 2012 minirugby program, contact Ken Boe at kosboe@hot-

Jazdarehee was her team’s co-MVP this past season and has played on the senior team since Grade 9. “My strengths are that I like to drive and penetrate the defense, and to push the ball up the floor,� says Jazdarehee. “I hope to bring my speed and competitiveness to the team.� Heat head coach Heather Semeniuk is excited to pick up a new recruit to help her team improve in Canada West next season. “I am very impressed with Jessica’s drive and determination. She is a player that knows how to step up to a challenge,� remarks Semeniuk. “She loves to play the game and loves to learn and improve. I fully expect her to work hard and push others for minutes next season.�
After an exciting first year in the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport), Semeniuk has a much stronger appreciation for the type of athlete and the type of person that will succeed as her team moves forward. “We are excited to move to our second year in the Canada West. The faster and more physical game has drawn out some very good things from our players,� explains Semeniuk. “Every player from this past season is now a better player because every Canada West game challenges us to do more. “I think Jessica has a great chance to embrace this challenge and become a very talented player for the Heat.� Jazdarehee has enrolled in the Science program at UBC’s Okanagan campus in the fall and is excited to get playing with the Heat.

High hopes or high school recruit Heat from A24 She will be working on her shot over the summer in anticipation of having a great rookie season. “After I came up for a visit last year, I knew that this was where I wanted to play,” says Jazdarehee. “The team was so welcoming and I really like Coach Sem. UBC Okanagan seems to be the perfect blend of academics and athletics.” Jazdarehee’s shot may not need that much work as she won the three-point shooting contest last year at the provincials, yet she
doesn’t feel she is that great of a shooter and explains that she gets her shots from sneakiness. Along with turning her good shot into a deadly one, she is hoping to round out herself as a player and
develop a better midrange game under coach Semeniuk, with emphasis on attacking left. Jazdarehee is Semeniuk’s first high school recruit to sign up with the team, but not the only
new face committed to the Heat next season. Semeniuk has Sarah Allison, a transfer from the University of Calgary set to don the blue and gold next year after redshirting this past season.

WOULD YOU LIKE THE BEST MORTGAGE FOR YOU?
My name is Nova and I am looking for my new ‘forever home’. I have lots of energy for my age, love my toys and I’m also very snuggly. I often hear the staff refer to me as a a BIG lap dog. I can be particular about other dogs, but I do play well... it’s just a matter of meeting and greeting them so I can find out about them. It would be best if there were no felines in my new house as my breed is known to have a high ‘prey-drive’. Please come and meet me if you are interested.

Sadie’s breed makes her a highly active girl with a willingness to learn and an eagerness to have a purpose. They have a loyal nature and bond well with people they know. They can be over protective of their family and territory, especially if not socialized properly. If you have a loving home and the time to spend with Sadie, she will become the best dog she can be. Please ask our dog staff for more info if you are interested.
Kenzie loves to be around people. He is a fat little spaniel who likes to play and go for walks. Kenzie gets along with other dogs and loves to cuddle. His one naughty habit...he steals Kleenex and hand towels. Kenzie needs to be on a hypo-allergenic diet and have eye ointment applied daily. Also daily grooming and ear cleaning will make him a happy healthy boy.

She has a quiet demeanor and would suit any kind of household, although an active one would suit her best, as she has a bit of weight to lose. Oprah would be a rewarding companion and she would love to spend some time meeting you at the shelter.
Sparky is a real delight. He walks well on leash, enjoys a good back scratch and loves to be loved! He also gets a kick out of swimming and car/truck rides. He can be possessive of his toys, does know his basic commands but could benefit from shedding a few pounds. He still has a lot of life left in him, so come down and spend some time with him.

2 YEARS DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE Kali has been at one of our foster homes for quite awhile and we are looking for a more ‘long term’ life for her. She is an adorable girl with a cute little squeak of a meow. She will fit into anyones home as she loves to interact and is very affectionate. If you have a passion for calicos & want a lovable companion, please come to the shelter and spend some time with her. Owner surrender
We were told by her past owner, that she is a very well-behaved housecat. She is an older lady with a ton of love to share with someone. She likes attention and gets along with other cats. Precious would like the opportunity to cuddle up with a family and be surrounded by affection. She would suit any environment due to her laid-back personality. Please come down and spend some time getting to know her.
Toots is a very special kitty. She adores people, but only tolerates other animals, so it is best if she is the ONLY animal in the house. Her foster family said she is a wonderful companion, loves to play and cuddle and will follow you around wherever you go. We feel that Toots would do well in a home where she will not feel threatened by other animals and will continue to be affectionate and loving.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen fresh from the sea This is an amazing province for those of us who love fresh, local food, with its incredibly-diverse agricultural sector and its bounty from the sea as well. Add in local wines that rival those from the best wine regions in the world, and it’s natural that the province should attract top chefs who are passionate about the intense flavours that come from the freshest possible ingredients and who love to be inspired by what’s available around them. That results in opportunities for some amazing events involving food. For instance, for the next couple of months, you can join Summerhill chef Jesse Croy for a monthly seven-course, farm-focussed chef’s table dinner featuring all local organic ingredients, with winemaker Eric von Krosigk’s wine pairings for each course. There are a maximum of 24 at each communal chef’s table event, with the next set for Thurs., Apr. 26, and the final one May 31. For reservations, call 764-8000/131 or e-mail meg@summerhill.bc.ca Then, on Mon., Apr. 16, everyone in the food industry in the Okanagan is invited to come together for a Farm Folk/City Folk event called Meet Your Maker; a day-long event designed to bring together food producers, processors, buyers and distributors to meet and discover opportunities to work together. The idea is to build the backbone of a buy-local economy in the region. It’s at the Westbank Community Hall and guest speakers include Donna Dennison of Little Creek Gardens on Westside Road, and chef Michael Lyon. Go to www.getlocalbc.org For lots of locally-inspired, seasonal recipes, pick up a copy of my new book, Jude’s Kitchen, published by the Okanagan Institute, wherever books are sold.

Jesse's Ling Cod with Chanterelles, Cippolini Onion Rings, Nettles and Meyer Lemonade Butter With fresh B.C., longline-caught ling cod available now at Codfather’s, Summerhill chef Jesse Croy came up with a delicate, delicious way to serve it, with a tall, cool glass of Summerhill Cipes Brut champagne-style sparkling wine. Jesse sources all organic ingredients, including flour, but that’s a personal choice you must make for yourself.
MEYER LEMONADE BUTTER: 4 Meyer lemons, juiced zest from half of one lemon 1 shallot 2 tbsp. (30 ml) water 1/4 c. (60 ml) cold, unsalted butter, diced
NETTLES: 4 tbsp. (60 ml) olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 lb. (454 g) fresh nettles or bitter greens
ONIONS & MUSHROOMS: 2 cippolini onions 1/2 lb. (227 g) chanterelle mushrooms 1 1/2 c. (375 ml) organic flour 1 tsp. (5 ml) baking powder 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt 1 tsp. (5 ml) white pepper 2 beaten eggs 1/2 c. (125 ml) milk 2 c. (500 ml) Panko bread crumbs non-gmo sunflower oil for deep frying
FISH: 4 5-oz. (142-g) ling cod with skin on salt & pepper, to taste 2 tbsp. (30 ml) unsalted butter Heat oil for deep frying to 350 F and preheat oven to 400 F.
Slice onions into rings and tear chanterelles into quarters. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl, then beat eggs in another and pour bread crumbs into another. Dredge onions in the flour mixture, then beaten eggs, then Panko crumbs and set aside. Dredge mushrooms in flour mixture. Deep fry onions and remove with a slotted spoon when golden brown and let drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Deep fry mushrooms until golden brown, season with salt and set aside with onions. Juice lemons, zest half of one, then dice shallot. In a small pot, heat shallot with the lemon juice, zest and water, bringing it to a boil and letting it bubble for about two minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl butter into the pot until melted. Keep warm until ready to plate.
For nettles, heat oil in a saute pan, mince garlic and add minced garlic to the pan with nettles. Add a couple of spoonfuls of water, cover and turn off. When they’re wilted, season and hold until ready to plate. Dry the fish portions with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper. In a heavy, cast iron pan, melt butter and add the fish, skin side down, spooning the melted butter over top of the fillets, while the bottom sears. Do not flip them. Finish them in a 400 F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and flip so the skin side is up. It should be crispy and the meat should be tender and flaky. Jesse drizzled a little lemonade on each plate, added a mound of greens, topped with onion rings and then mushrooms, adjacent to the cod. Serves 4.
