keeping it moist even if it has to sit outside during the reception or an event. The observation deck is a 10-inch cake, decorated to replicate the Space Needle’s top, complete with an aerial on top.

Despite surprising news of RCMP wage increases last week, West Kelowna council opted to authorize the mayor and city clerk to sign on to the Municipal Police Unit Agreement (MPUA) on Tuesday. Marnie Manders, director of administration with the District of West Kelowna, told council that the agreement outlines the terms and conditions agreed to between the province and individual municipalities that choose to have the RCMP serve as their municipal police force. She added that the goal of the agreement is to provide municipalities with some foresight on costs that are coming down the pike and ideas of what those costs might be for. “The whole backbone of the (MPUA) was the transparency, the building of the relationship between the two parties and accountability from the RCMP,” said Manders. That transparency was questioned last week when news broke that the federal government had approved pay raises for the RCMP. “On Thursday we got a shock that the RCMP was provided pay increases—which the province had absolutely no knowledge of—that had gone through the federal government.” Manders told council that the RCMP received a 1.75 per cent increase as of Jan. 1, they will receive a 1.5 per cent increase on Jan. 1, 2013 and a two per cent increase on Jan. 1, 2014. Langley Mayor Peter Fassbender has sent a letter to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews on behalf of the Union of B.C. Municipalities expressing concerns over the pay raises and additional costs that might be associated with them. Manders explained that several other municipalities are waiting to see what UBCM’s next move is. “They’re looking at getting all the mayors togeth-

One of the tallest cakes ever made in the Okanagan moves from its Rutland birthplace to a wedding reception today. Chef Tanya Jennens, owner of Whisk Cake Company, started making the five foot tall, 1/120th size replica of Seattle’s Space Needle two weeks ago, as per a quirky request from the groom, who is from that city. The bride wanted cupcakes instead, so a small forest of cupcakes decorated with grass and flowers will form the base of the tall, slim cake— satisfying both the bride and groom. Elaborate cakes—for all sorts of occasions—are becoming more and more popular, likely due to the growing interest in Food Network shows about extreme cake making, such as Ace of Cakes, and Jennens has found herself making everything from a Canucks skateboard to a desk scenario to Gucci high-heeled shoes. The sugary confections for weddings have included all manner of detailed sugar flowers, some spray painted with food colouring, as well as a variety of other decorations. “I enjoy being pushed to do more,” said Jennens, as she applied fondant windows to the observation deck for the top of the Space Needle cake. Her dad’s mathematical skills were helpful in

Accused teen murderer faces local sex assault charge Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The man charged with the Halloween slaying of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest made his first court appearance Tuesday morning. Matthew Stephen Foerster, 26, appeared calm and stared straight ahead during a brief showing in a Kelowna courtroom, despite the substantial series of charges being read to him. In addition to second degree murder, he faces charges stemming from an alleged attack at Kelowna’s Garden of Eden escort agency April 12, 2005, and an alleged Cherryville home invasion Oct. 19, 2004. The former amounted to charges of sexual assault with a weapon and unlawful confinement. The latter garnered Foerster charges of break and enter, having face masked during a crime, assault causing bodily harm and unlawful confinement. Foerster has been held in Kelowna cells since his

SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT van brought Matthew Stephen Foerster to the Kelowna provincial courthouse on Tuesday morning to face among several charges, an assault charge stemming from an incident that occurred at Kelowna’s Garden of Eden escort agency on April 12, 2005. arrest, but will soon be transferred to Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. From there he’ll return to court, via video link, for

a May 10 court appearance. Foerster was arrested in Collingwood, Ont., last week after an exhaustive investigation into the mur-

der of the Armstrong teen, who was found fatally wounded Oct. 31, 2011 on train tracks near her home by friends and family. She succumbed to her injuries

later that night in Kelowna General Hospital. The case was one that stunned residents of the small-town, as no suspects immediately came

to the fore. The first big break police shared with the public came when DNA from that scene was linked to the earlier crime at the Kelowna escort agency. From there a police sketch that bears a resemblance to Foerster was released. As Mounties began tracking down Foerster, they also found cause to link his father to the alleged crime. Stephen Roy Foerster, 58, of Cherryville, was arrested in his residence last Wednesday and appeared in a Vernon courtroom to face charges of obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact to murder in connection with Van Diest’s death.

Although court proceedings have started, police are continuing in their efforts to establish a timeline of Matthew Foerster’s activities on the day and night of Van Diest’s murder, Oct. 31, 2011. “We would like to hear from anyone who has not already spoken to investigators that now may have information about any contact they had with him on Halloween night,” said Insp. Brendan Fitzpatrick, operations officer for the B.C. RCMP’s major crime section. “With the release of his photo, we would like to hear from any other witnesses who may have information regarding that night.” Police also want to establish a timeline of Foerster’s travels and activities from December 2011 to the end of March 2012. Fitzpatrick asks that anybody who has information to share should call the dedicated tip line at 1-888-688-4264. kmichaels@kelownacapnews. com

▼ OKANAGAN WATER BOARD

Grants meant to help conserve and protect water supply Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Grants totalling $197,214 have been awarded by the Okanagan Basin Water Board for the Central Okanagan for the coming year, for projects that will conserve and protect water. In all, 13 projects received some funding, ranging from $25,000 each for the District of Peachland to improve water management and for the Mission Creek restoration project to do an assessment of ecological goods and services, to $5,000 for development of a

website as part of the Mission Creek restoration project. Also funded were a $24,400 project for the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program to survey Kalamalka and Wood Lakes for an aquatic habitat index, and $20,000 each for the City of Kelowna to begin a droughttolerant sod replacement program and to reduce water used for irrigation by active management.

and quality improvement grant program. Executive director Anna Warwick Sears said there were some great applications, but if all had been funded, it would have cost double what was available. Criteria for the program included that projects provide a basin-wide benefit, include collaboration and promote best practices. “The program is a great way to support non-profits in our community, and local governments, to do on-theground, tangible work that improves water in our valley for

people as well as everything else that depends on a stable, clean water supply,” said Warwick Sears. “The water in this valley is all connected. This grant program is a way to bring residents of the Okanagan together to take on projects that improve water in their own backyards, but which have valley-wide benefit. We have one valley, one water,” she said. More than $2.1 million has been awarded through the program since it was began in 2006. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ IS WINTER OVER?

Spring weather forecast to continue Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Although the last month has been pretty dry in the valley bottom, there’s plenty of snow at most higher elevations around the Okanagan and a rise in temperatures suggests spring might now be here. Winter’s temperatures were actually very slightly above normal, at an average of -.7 C, compared to the normal of -.8 C according to meteorologist Doug Lundquist with Environment Canada. Overall, winter’s precipitation in the valley bottom was actually below average, with 68 millimetres, compared to the average of 90 mm. However, up in the headwaters of Mission Creek there is plenty of the white stuff left and there will be for some

months to come. The April 1 measurement of snowpack in that location is 16 per cent above normal, while at the Oyama Lake snowcourse it’s two per cent above normal and at Postill Lake it’s eight per cent above normal. Across the lake, there’s less snow, with the lowest amount measured at Islaht Lake, above West Kelowna, where it’s only 65 per cent of normal. However, the higher-level Whiterocks snowcourse measurement was 96 per cent of normal. At Brenda Mine, it’s 83 per cent of normal, while at nearby MacDonald Lake, it was 82 per cent of normal. Further north on the Westside, the measurements in different locations on Esperon Creek varied from 80 per cent to 88 per cent of normal.

It’s expected that by April 1, about 95 per cent of the province’s annual snowpack has accumulated for the season, so that is considered to be a key snow measurement in predicting the amount of spring runoff to expect. Seasonal water supply in areas like the Okanagan are dependent on water stored from runoff, and flood risk is also assessed based on snowpack measurements. David Campbell, section head for the River Forecast Centre, says near normal runoff is expected in the Okanagan basin. However, in basins like the Fraser, Columbia, Kootenay and Peace residents have been warned to prepare for an increased flood risk in May or June because of heavier than normal snow accumulations. Lundquist says any

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

AS SPRING replaces winter, showers replace snow, beginning in the valley bottom. However, there’s still lots of snow at higher elevations. winter impacts of La Nina (although it didn’t really have much impact in the Okanagan) are neutral now, or La Nada. A survey of forecasts from a number of countries suggests that the probability of another La

Nina this coming winter is lower than that this winter would continue to be La Nada, or nothing, or that the coming winter would be impacted by El Nino conditions. The latter is considered more likely, he

said. El Nino winters tend to be milder than normal in this part of the world. The forecast for the next couple of weeks is for a continuation of abovenormal temperatures as a flow of mild air from California impacts our weath-

er. Although there was more rain in March than normal, most of that fell in the first two weeks, while the past month has been dry, and Lundquist expects that tendency will continue. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ FUNDRAISER

Special little girl is inviting the community to her birthday Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Isla Ransom is turning three and wants all of Kelowna to celebrate the occasion this weekend as it took her, and her parents, a great deal of work to hit this milestone. While her mother, Karrie Faucher, had a normal pregnancy, Isla arrived with a genetic condition called Edward’s Syndrome, or Trisomy 18, meaning she had a third copy of the genetic material on her 18th chromosome. Like kids who have Down’s Syndrome, where there’s extra genetic material on the 21st chromosome, Isla’s life is very different from other children her age; but she’s quite the fighter nonetheless. “I really didn’t have any hope that she was going to make it to her first birthday,” said Faucher. “So when her first birthday was coming up, and so many people had helped us along the way, I just thought we have to do something to really celebrate.” Faucher had worked

at Summerhill Pyramid Winery and called to see if they could accommodate a big event. She knew her family didn’t need a pile of gifts for Isla, so she turned the bash into a fundraiser for Canuck Place. “At the time, we really hadn’t used Canuck Place that much. We just picked it as a charity because they do such great work,” she said. In the years since, the Vancouver-based respite facility has been a godsend. Isla has trouble swallowing and respiratory problems, she’s prone to seizures and can easily aspirate on her own fluids. It means that six days a week a nurse must come between the hours of 11 p.m. and six p.m., so her parents can sleep through the night without monitoring her care. “It’s not a lot of sleep, but it’s enough,” said Faucher, who is now on bedrest as she completes the last trimester of her pregnancy. The workload associated with Isla takes its toll. Canuck Place offers

this family a chance to get away from it all. Last summer, they took Isla’s five-year-old brother, Oden, camping— their first family vacation. Isla stayed at Canuck Place, fully cared for for five days, while her parents and older brother enjoyed a normal family holiday. At other times, the family will use the charity’s Vancouver facility for an overnight stay, while Isla has medical tests done. The event is usually a treat as they can stay, free of charge with their meals covered. Isla is looked after when her tests are complete so that the family can get out and enjoy the city. Canuck Place services families coping with illness and disabilities and, while its main facility is in Vancouver, it also operates satellites around B.C. to provide support for families like Isla’s. The three-year-old’s first birthday bash raised $5,000 for the charity and $8,000 on her second birthday and her mother has really honed her party

Interior Health will join Volunteer Canada next week to mark national Volunteer Week, from April 15 to 21, and paytribute to the thousands of volunteers who donate their time and energy to support patients, clients and residents. “Volunteers complement the care provided by our professionals,” saidNorman Embree, Interior Health board chairman. “It is a great way to gain

new experience, meet new people, and make a real difference in your community. The health care setting truly allows volunteers to have an impact on people’s lives.” Events are being held this month to thank the many volunteers throughout the organization. “We sincerely want to acknowledge our volunteers, including the many auxiliaries that work so hard on behalf

of patients,” said Interior Health CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny. “They contribute through vital fundraising, giving directions, visiting with dialysis patients, offering wigs and scarves to cancer patients, and countlessother ways each day. Our volunteers are the definition of caring and compassion.” National Volunteer Week is Canada’s largest celebration of volunteers, volunteerism and civic

participation. Across Canada, 13.3 million volunteers contribute 2.1 billion total hours of their time to help causes. IH is continually recruiting volunters to fill important roles in hospitals and health centres, residential care facilities, in public health related roles, and in our communities.

Fatal domestic abuse trial for Mountie moved to Kelowna

smartTRIPS to help residents find their way smartTRIPS is the Central Okanagan’s new initiative designed to reduce drive-alone trips and encourage residents to walk, cycle, take transit or carpool more often. These modes, also known as active transportation, benefit the community through better health, cleaner air and a healthier environment. “Smart changes to your travel behaviour can make a huge difference. The region has committed to reducing Community Greenhouse Gases, and transportation is the biggest contributor,” said Kate Bergen, smartTRIPS program coordinator. In addition to the environmental benefits, using active transportation has proven to have positive impacts on the physical and mental health of the community. In a 2011 survey, Kelowna residents who rode their bikes and walked to work were significantly happier with their commute than drivers. “Together we can improve the quality of life for everyone in the Central Okanagan,” said Bergen. A new website, smartTRIPS.ca, was launched last week providing tools and resources for residents interested in driving less -- and walking, cycling and taking transit more often. “The website has a trip planning and tracking tool, which can track the number

of trips made, kilometres travelled, calories burned and greenhouse gas emissions saved through active travel,” said Bergen. “It shows users the positive impacts of their travel choices.” This spring and summer, smartTRIPS programming will be launched in the community to promote active transportation and its benefits. “We will be coordinating Bike to Work Week, which runs May 28 to June 3,” said Mike Kittmer, active transportation coordinator. “This annual event challenges workplaces, schools and other organizations to incorporate cycling into their commute. And participants can win lots of great prizes.” From April to June, a smartTRIPS pilot program will be trialed in the Pandosy neighbourhood. The pilot individualizes tools and resources for residents to help them incorporate active transportation into their lives, and get to know their neighbourhood at the ground level. smartTRIPS is a regional partnership between the City of Kelowna, the Regional District of Central Okanagan and the District of West Kelowna. smartTRIPS has replaced i-Go and i-Go.ca.

Landfill construction underway Construction of the new entrance at the Glenmore Landfill, in addition to John Hindle Drive, is now underway. John Hindle Drive from Glenmore Road to the new landfill entrance is a new two-lane road with a climbing lane. The construction of John Hindle Drive will serve as the first phase of the Glenmore Bypass, as shown in the 20-Year Road Network Plan. The solid waste disposal facility improvements include four new scales, five prefabricated modular buildings, two composting toilet systems, an automated wheel wash facility and will accommodate anticipated growth over the next 75 years. The $9.7-million contract was awarded to CGL Contracting. Project completion is scheduled for the fall of 2013. Alternating singlelane traffic is in effect in front of Yaletown condos on Glenmore Drive until the end of May. Visit kelowna.ca/roadreport for the latest road construction and project information. The Glenmore Land-

fill is open seven days a week serving the Central Okanagan Regional Dis-

trict and sees more than 1,000 vehicles a day in peak season.

A retired Mountie accused of killing his common-law wife in 2011 will have his upcoming trial relocated to Kelowna from Penticton. Supreme Court Justice Alison Beames granted a change of venue application filed on behalf of Keith Wiens on Wednesday, finding that pretrial publicity in Penticton may have tainted the limited jury pool, making it difficult for the defendant to get a fair shake in court. Wiens allegedly shot and killed his commonlaw spouse Lynn Kalmring, 55, in their Penticton home Aug. 16, 2011. Both were longtime residents of the South Okanagan with deep roots in the community, and Kalmring’s death prompted a significant outpouring. “There was clearly less publicity (in Kelowna),” Beames said, referencing a stack of Penticton-based blog posts, Internet-forum musings and newspaper articles that had been printed off by Wiens’s lawyer Neil Skogstad to illustrate cause for the application.

“And the pool of jurors is three times as large.” Another troublesome detail factored into Beames’s decision was the physical restraints of Penticton’s courthouse. Current facilities couldn’t accommodate the potentially large pool of prospective jurors if a proceeding called challenge for cause was used, said Beames, suggesting they may have to be housed in a nearby hotel and individually escorted to the court for their inter-

views. Although the Kelowna courthouse may be more accommodating in terms of size, Beames’s decision to grant relocation may create a secondary strain on the system. Wiens was scheduled for trial June 11, but it’s unclear as of yet whether the local courthouse can accommodate a trial at that time. Lawyers will meet April 20 to establish the potentially new timeline for the trial, which will

either follow the previously established timeline, be shuffled to late summer or early fall. Wiens, who was in court Wednesday wearing prison-orange, had his bail revoked in January after allegedly violating his bail conditions.

Failure of justice personified

here are many cases before the courts that leave one flabbergasted at the lack of justice being meted out. Such is the situation involving 80-year-old Gerald McDonald. Last year, the North Delta grandfather died just two weeks after a vicious attack at his home. The octogenarian was badly beaten with baseball bats wielded by a group of people intent on inflicting property damage following a verbal altercation with

McDonald’s son. Two weeks later, McDonald was dead from a heart attack and a B.C. coroner makes no bones about linking the two events. Coroner Kate Corcoran listed the cause of death as “homicide.” She also said that “considering the facts of this investigation, it is reasonable to conclude that the September 20, 2011, assault was the cause of the cascading events that led to Mr. McDonald’s demise.”

250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575

So those responsible for the assault will be held accountable for the results of their actions, right? Wrong. According to the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch, only the findings from an autopsy can be used to consider homicide charges. In McDonald’s case, the autopsy report makes no link between the attack on the senior and his death. This alone would be extremely difficult for McDonald’s family to come to terms with.

But then this sucker punch: Assault charges in McDonald’s attack are also not being considered. Crown counsel does not believe it has enough evidence to win a conviction. An often-used legal quote (attributed to Lord Chief Justice Hewart) notes that “justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.” For Gerald McDonald, our system has failed miserably on both counts.

Credit is not just important in the banking and finance world

ou hear a lot about credit these days: people with good credit, those with bad credit and how Canadians have too much credit. But credit isn’t all about banking, the economy or having to carry all plastic cards in your wallet. In the academic world of post-secondary education, we live and breathe a credit system. For example, most academic courses are usually three credits. This means that a student who completes Okanagan College’s Eng-

lish 150 course successfully will be awarded three academic credits. This student can use this credit towards an Okanagan College Jane associate degree, or diMuskens plomas in Media and Cultural Studies, Writing and Publishing, Criminal and Social Justice or Business Administration. He or she can also apply these three credits of English to a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. This student can also apply to have these credits transferred to any university in the province. Once the

SCHOOL’S IN

course and its credits are transferred, these credits can be used towards just about any degree offered at most postsecondary institutions, as many degrees require students to complete at least six credits in English. These credits would probably be accepted at most universities across the country in that they apply to a first-year English course. I also suspect that some Okanagan College students have received transfer credit for this course at colleges or universities outside of Canada. Achieving a credential such as a certificate, degree or diploma, requires a certain amount of credits. Academic certificates tend to require 24 credits and diplomas often

demand that students complete 60 credits. A Bachelor’s degree usually requires 120 credits. Within these credits, students are expected to meet specific credit requirements. For example, a student who wanted to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in history would need to complete a minimum of 48 history credits. Most history courses are worth three credits each, which means the student would have to complete a minimum of 16 history courses. On top of this, students would need to make sure that within these 48 credits (16 courses) at least 30 credits (10 courses) were numbered 300

or higher. This is called an upper-level requirement which means that to get your Bachelor of Arts degree you need to make sure you complete the required first, second, third and fourth-year courses. If this same student wanted to complete a minor in English they would have to make sure they complete at least 30 credits (10 courses) in English with at least 18 credits (six courses) in English courses numbered 300 or higher. If this sounds straight forward – great - but not all degrees follow these rules.

Returnee feels little changed in 30 years

To the editor: We lived in Kelowna 30 years ago and at that time, the area’s population was around 50,000. The place was charming then. At that time, we noticed city hall wasn’t open to change or growth of any kind, or encouraging entrepreneurs. We are back now and while the population is huge, city hall mentality seems to have remained the same. In the 30 years we were gone, nothing ibout the city government has changed. Kelowna has come of age but, sadly, the city council hasn’t. There is no affordable housing, house rentals are sky high, and a lot of the rentalsare in really bad

shape and are over priced. The kids who grow up here have to leave for other areas to be able to afford to live or own a home. The (rejcted) Monaco towers project would have given the downtown core a huge shot in the arm, which it desperately needs. The downtown core is dying and it’s painfully obvious the businesses are waiting for the tourist dollar to arrive, in order to flourish. This was how it was 30 years ago. But it was a thriving touris town back then and the money rolled in during the summer and fall months. The tourists everyone depends on are now staying home because of the poor economy. There are billboards

at the Coast that encourage people to holiday and camp out in their own backyard, and a lot are. We have been here for six months and in that time, we have seen three businesses in the downtown close. Some can’t afford the high commercial rents, or the hidden “triple net” cash add-on designed to benefit the property holders. A lot of the old buildings downtown have been paid for a dozen times over but greedy owners continue to gouge without doing any maintenance on these run down dumps. Still they delight in burdening new shopkeepers with the costs of upgrading. If city officials got out of their offices and walked away from Bernard into

the back streets, they would notice that there are several empty buildings in the downtown core. The chamber of commerce has a similar mentality. Focusing on Bernard Avenue, last Christmas, it ran around to the struggling shops and asked the shopkeepers to post a sign in their windowasking customers to “Find Santa on Bernard” and win $500. That’s not an encouraging sign if your shop is not on Bernard Avenue. Customers would read the sign and turn around and head for Bernard Avenue.I saw this firsthand. It’s obvious to me, if you aren’t within three blocks of the Sails, the city has little interest in attracting customers to your

door. Also, everybody is remarking about the growth on the west side of the lake. There are commercial buildings going up, but many are empty. I love Kelowna but I’m sad to see the same constipated mentality I saw here 30 plus years ago. We are a dying community. The aging population is falling at a rapid rate. But it’s not just Kelowna. When we moved here we saw foreclosures and bankruptcies from Osoyoos to Salmon Arm. If the city continues to follow the same constipated retoric, I would wager the only taxpayers left will be a few gopher colonies. Linda Lindman West Kelowna.

Lack of chivalry noticed in both men and women

To the editor: Chivalry works for both sexes, not just for men. I attended the movie American Reunion recently, (very funny movie by the way), and as the theatre filled up becuase it was a sellout, I had the displeasure of observing four different sets of

young women take up up two of four side end seats by sitting in the middle two seats and placing their purses or jacket on the two empty seats beside them so others could not sit there. Some were asked if the seats were taken and they lied saying yes and yet nobody ever joined them.

These seats remained empty during the entire movie and some ticket payers left the theatre frustrated cause they could not get a seat. If this was you and or if you do this, can you please take a look at yourself and be a little more courteous to others. A couple of gals told

an older gent that the seats were taken He looked to be about 70. To blatantly lie to a senior. Really, are you kidding me? Do not go the movies period if you are not prepared to sit next to a stranger. Stop being so ignorant and or so afraid people, try

for a little chivalry sometime and stop hogging the seats. And, while you’re at it, why not try holding a door open for others or something like that. It’s the little things that matter in life and others do notice your good deeds. Nol Preen Kelowna

To the editor: Have you noticed the lovely red-lit tulip that stands proudly on the Landmark Building overlooking our city? April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month and yesterday was World Parkinson’s Day.

Northwestern Air announces a new air service starting Friday, April 20th, 2012.

This means that students can choose whatever three credit course they want to take as long as it gives them three credits. You will also see other rules such as three credits of arts electives. This means that the course must be an arts course. And in some cases you will see three credits of mathematics at the

200-level, which means you have to complete one course in mathematics that is numbered in the 200s. So credit is good thing at colleges and universities. The more credit a student receives the closer they are to graduation. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College.

We wish to thank Krueger Electrical Ltd. and Landmark Centre for making it possible for our tulip to shine during April. Drop by our table in Orchard Park Mall on April12 to14 to pick up more information and talk to representatives.

Interior Heart and Surgical Centre moves ahead A preferred proponent has been selected to conclude negotiations with Interior Health as part of the next step towards building the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre (IHSC) at Kelowna General Hospital. The naming of Plenary Health as preferred proponent follows an extensive evaluation of the three teams that were shortlisted and invited to submit proposals to design, build, partially finance and provide facilities management services for the new heart centre at

KGH that will house the B.C.’s fifth provincial cardiac surgery program. “Today we have reached an important milestone in the delivery of the new heart and surgical centre, the first ever cardiac critical care centre outside of the Lower Mainland,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. “This IHSC project is just one part of almost $1 billion of investment in health care in the region, which is bringing cardiac care and surgery programs closer to home for

those living in the Southern Interior,” added Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “Since its inception at Kelowna General Hospital, the cardiac services program has proven successful beyond initial expectations.,” said Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart. More than 2,000 individuals have been treated. The next stage in the competitive selection process is to conclude negotiations with Plenary Health —a process that is expected to culminate in a

performance-based agreement by this summer, with the demolition of the oldest part of the hopital to make room for the new cardiac surgery centre beginning immediately thereafter. Details about the agreement and the fixed project cost will be made public after the agreement has been finalized, said the ministry of health. “With the selection of Plenary Health as preferred proponent, we are excited to be moving forward with the conclusion of negotiations for building the new heart and surgical centre,” said Interior Health board chairman Norman Embree. “This new centre brings us closer to our goal of developing the KGH site into a worldclass health care campus that serves the entire Interior Health region.” The IHSC building will include capacity for a total of 15 operating rooms, including two dedicated cardiac operating rooms. Up to 600 open heart procedures per year are expected to be performed in the IHSC each year. The building will also house surgical support services, including the cardiac surgery intensive care unit, a new and expanded central sterilization reprocessing department and a pre- and post-operative care unit. As part of Interior Health’s commitment to environmental sustainability and green buildings, the new centre will be designed and constructed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environment-

al Design (LEED) Gold certification, helping to create a healthy and healing environment for patients and health-care professionals. A fairness adviser, lawyer Jane Shackell of Miller Thomson LLP, was appointed to oversee and monitor the entire evaluation process to ensure that it was fair and followed the requirements outlined in the request for proposals. The report of the fairness adviser concluded that the process for selecting the preferred proponent was open, fair and equitable. Shackell’s report will be made public on Partnerships BC’s website at www.partnershipsbc.ca. The province is making record investments in health-care facilities at KGH. The IHSC building is part of the overall expansion at KGH that inclues the new East Pandosy clinical support building, as well as renovations and fit-outs of existing buildings at KGH and completionof the six-storey Centennial tower. The project is being developed as a public-private partnership, with capital funding from the province and the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District. The IHSC building will be constructed at the corner of Pandosy Street and Rose Avenue on the site of the existing Pandosy building. The Pandosy building will be demolished to make room for the new IHSC building on the KGH site.

The Central Okanagan Traffic Services will be stepping up enforcement on aggressive driving, seatbelts and impaired drivers. During the month of March, the Central Okanagan Traffic Services handed out nearly 1,200 fines. Police found some disturbing driving trends in the statistics: • 30 speeding at more than 40km/h over the limit • 544 speeding in general • 38 using electronic devices • 14 impaired drivers • increasing number of drugged drivers

Seat belts were also an issue even though the B.C. Coroner’s Service recently released information that showed a high proportion of motor vehicle crash fatalities are attributed to lack of seat belt use. Aggressive driving has been a big problem in the Central Okanagan, especially speeding and using electronic devices. And police will be using intelligence-led, targeted enforcement to crack down on high crash locations and putting the focus on three key priorities— seat belts, impaired drivers and aggressive drivers.

CATO students offer interior design creativity Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Students from the Centre for Arts and Technology’s interior design program got to bask in the glow of camera flashes this week as they unveiled their entries for a unique design competition. Mission Group, a local development company, created the Next Top Designer to help stage their latest townhouse development for sales and give the CATO students some practical experience in their trade. The concept is the brainchild of the developer’s sales manager, Darcy Nyrose, and drew significant media interest when the final designs were unveiled Wednesday morning. “What a great idea to have the actual target market be the designers,” said Randall Shier, Mission Group president, who told those gathered that the townhouses are aimed at people in their 20s

and 30s. Some eight CATO students participated in the contest, dividing themselves into two teams: one to design a home for a young male bachelor and one for a childless couple. Each team was give a $2,000 budget for paint and allowed to borrow furnishing from upscale furniture store, Momentum; the store also sent professional designer Shannon Nystrom along to help. From start to finish, the project had to be completed in just three months, furniture orders included. “It’s very modern, upscale,” said Leesa Resch, a member of Team Hooked it Up, who designed the goldentouched space for a young couple. The three-storey townhouses will be used as show homes and prospective buyers can vote for a preferred décor option on site. A winner will be crowned at the end of May.

LAUREN Mason, McKenzie Hedman, Lisa Voeller and Mica Harvey formed Team Maled it for the Mission Group’s first Next Top Designer contest. They designed an interior space for a single male using chartreuse, black and grey. CHRISTIE JONES/CONTRIBUTOR

Despite concerns, council signs on to new cop contract Police from A1 er on a conference call to try and explain how these costs will impact the municipalities and what’s happening in the future.” Despite last week’s series of events, West Kelowna council still had the task of deciding whether or not to sign the Municipal Police Unit Agreement during Tuesday’s meeting. Mayor Doug Findlater said his gut reaction was to hesitate before signing it.

Doug Findlater “My thinking is perhaps we should be holding off and supporting the other municipalities in the UBCM. It just seems

maybe even a week premature until the dust settles on this one. I think we maybe have to push back a little bit by holding off,” said Findlater. “It may be the wrong time if we want to support what some of our friends on the coast are trying to do. They’re saying basically that this agreement, which everybody seems so happy about, has already been violated and the ink isn’t even dry. It’s quite incensing for that reason.” Coun. Duane Ophus

disagreed with the mayor. He said that the West Kelowna shouldn’t delay signing the document. “I think that we should sign the policing agreement and get on with it. I don’t see anything wrong,” said Ophus. “The numbers that Ms. Manders read out here seem pretty reasonable to me, particularly in light of other recent settlements that we’ve seen. My suggestion would be let’s sign it and get on with it. That’s going to be the ultimate outcome any-

As Earth Day approaches we should be grateful to nature

pril 22nd is Earth Day. There are earth-affirming teachings in many world faiths that will be part of a celebration in Kelowna that afternoon. Care for the Earth is a “calling” we all share, whatever our religious tradition or worldview. Whether one thinks of the earth as a sacred responsibility or primarily in terms of how harm to the earth is translating into harm to humans and other

SOUL SEARCHING

Linda Horton creatures, both points of view lead us to the need to be more mindful and responsible in our relationship to our planet. As U.S. Chief Justice, Rose Bird put it:“If we

humans were living here on the earth with a monthto-month lease, we would have been evicted long ago!” Our complex technology, our rockets to Mars, our cellophane-wrapped food from the supermarket—all the ways humans appear to dominate the earth—can foster the illusion that we are independent and in charge. It is a dangerous illusion. In fact, it could be a fatal illusion for humanity

and other living things. Our aboriginal sisters and brothers in all lands can help us penetrate this disastrous illusion. Contextual theology is theology rooted in the land in which we live. It grounds us in the life in which we find ourselves, not in creedal abstractions. For us, the ground on which we find ourselves was home to First Nations peoples long before it was home to most of us, or

our direct ancestors. They have had much longer to learn its wisdom. Our aboriginal kin would tell us that the primary reality in which we are rooted is interdependence. Because of our fundamental interdependence —with one another, with other forms of life, with the earth, with the sacred reality that includes all these —our fundamental spiritual response needs to be gratitude.

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. This high-tech theatre will advance medical care by providing unique educational opportunities to UBC medical students, KGH physicians and nursing staff.

Gifting and gratitude are central to the life of a number of First Nations peoples. Tradition requires that gratitude be expressed in tangible ways. They offer us a model of being thankful for the small, everyday gifts of nature. They also offer us a model of gratitude for transient experience, rather than for permanent possessions. Many of the world’s aboriginal cultures have been, or are being, destroyed in the name of economic progress. So are our forests and wetlands, wildlife and ozone layer. Aboriginal spiritual teachings can bring back to the industrial West something lost and forgotten. We know that it is the nature of an industrial society to encourage people to feel needy, so they will purchase more goods. Such a society needs people to value possessions, and to want to acquire more. An attitude of basic gratitude towards life is

easier if we can be thankful for that which passes through our lives—for the ephemeral or impermanent like a sunset, or the intangible things like love and friendship. This Earth Day, let’s make an effort to be thankful for that which we do not possess, rather than that which we do. Appreciation for the ordinary and the transient is one of the lessons we can learn from native spirituality. We can also learn something about generosity of spirit. Such generosity is not an arduous discipline or a moralistic demand. It is a natural expression of feeling connected with a giving universe. We are social beings, and on some level are connected with all people. We are connected with other creatures, and with the earth itself. At their best, the Aboriginal spiritual traditions can help us to experience that connectedness, and to give heartfelt thanks for it. Rev. Linda Weaver Horton is with Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.

Motorcar trailer no small theft Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

It’s hard to imagine a billboard on wheels disappearing into the night, but that’s just what happened. A crook got away with a Timeleigh Motorcar trailer carrying a 1949 Mercury truck between 12:30 a.m. Saturday and 8:30 a.m. Sunday, and four days later it’s still missing. “Someone went to a lot of work to get it, “ said Garwood Leigh, owner of the trailer and Timeleigh Motorcar, a Kelowna car

dealership that also restores everything from hotrods to classic cars. “It was double booted, with a boot on the passenger wheel and the driver’s wheel. We also had the hitch locked up.” Remnants of the failed security system lie in the driveway of the shop, which shows the effort put into absconding with the vehicle. But Leigh is most surprised by the fact that the graphic wrap around his $20,000 trailer didn’t act as a deterrent. He had a similar one stolen seven years ago,

and the lesson learned from that loss was to make the new trailer recognizable, and useless to thieves, who likely stole it to ferry around other stolen merchandise. “That’s why we went to the expense with this one,” he said, noting the vehicle wrap will be pretty hard to remove. It means the thieves will likely be working pretty hard to cover up the images on its side, so they could have it hidden in a barn somewhere where it’s being painted.

It’s part of the reason why he thinks it may still be in town. He’s leveraging all his resources to get to the bottom of the theft, asking area businesses to check their security tapes to see if they can identify the truck pulling the trailer away from its home. And, he’s asking area residents to keep an eye open. The licence plate is 8154 6B. If anyone sees it, they’re asked to call Crime Stoppers or the RCMP at 250-762-3300.

Municipality to revisit garbage camera debate Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Waste reduction manager Peter Rotheisler visited West Kelowna council on Tuesday to give an update on the Regional Waste Reduction Office’s 2011 highlights and plans for 2012. Rotheisler said that key results of 2011 included reducing commercial waste by six per cent, introducing the My Waste smart phone app, selling approximately 500 backyard composters and cleaning up more than 30 illegal dump sites. According to Rotheisler, another highlight of 2011 was implementing the Radio Frequency Identificationbased data and image collection system in Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland and the Regional District. Last year, West Kelowna opted out of the collection of electronic data to record what is being put in its residents waste containers. This was partly due to concerns over privacy. Rotheisler also gave council a picture of 2012 plans for the Regional Waste Reduction Office. Coun. Carol Zanon said that she would like to see a review of consumer privacy protection in the 2012 plans. She added that she has researched information from the Office of Consumer Affairs to learn the pros and cons of RFID-based technology. “The risk is that the speed of deployment of the RFID technology can outpace the consumer protection. That, in a nutshell, is my concern,” said Zanon. She said that her research informed her that RFIDbased technology could be used to collect information and has the potential to track individuals’ lifestyles. “Profiling of individuals could take on a significantly wider scope with all physical objects being individually identified and linked to the owner.” Rotheisler said he is aware of the harmful uses of RFID-based technology; however, he said steps have been taken to ensure privacy is not invaded. “Some of the things that we are being advised on is to make sure the camera angle is reduced down to street level so it’s capturing as little of the household as possible and as much of the container and the curb as possible,” said Rotheisler. He went on to explain that he isn’t aware of any privacy complaints since the technology was adopted by Kelowna. Rotheisler noted that those in other communities who are using the waste containers incorrectly have been educated, and the majority of offenders have responded positively to this method. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Scott hunts for new lead, Schraeder returns Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Change will be the operative word for the Kelly Scott rink heading into the 2012-13 curling season. The Kelowna skip is in the market for a new teammate after lead Jacquie Armstrong recently decided to stepped aside due to career and family commitments. In addition, third Jeanna Schraeder will return for next season after taking a year off to spend more time with her young family. Armstrong, who joined the Scott team for the start of the 2009-10 curling season, won three consecutive B.C. titles throwing lead rocks. The Kelowna team fell just short of a Canadian championship this season, losing the final of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Red Deer in February. Along with Armstrong’s departure began a comprehensive search by Scott who isn’t averse to combing this vast country for an appropriate replacement. Because, as Scott suspected, qualified, nation-

Jeanna Schraeder al-calibre leads don’t grow on trees. “We’re looking for a really well-rounded player, someone the team can enjoy being with on and off the ice,” said Scott, a five-time B.C. champion. “They have to be very compatible. It’s been pretty tricky finding the right fit so far, you’re sort of just looking at a page of names at this point. We’re all kind of impatient, but we know we have to do our due diligence and find the right fit. When there’s only four of you on a team, you’re in close quarters together, so it has to be the right choice.” Making the final choice particularly crucial, said Scott, is the fact that the 2013 Olympic trials are just around the corner. The Kelowna rink

plans to leave no stone unturned in trying to qualify for the 2014 games in Sochi, Russia. From Armstrong’s perspective, leaving the Scott team behind was a difficult but necessary choice. “I love the game, the competition and especially my teammates but my work is becoming ever more demanding on my time, and it’s been more difficult to juggle family, a career and curling,” Armstrong told The Curling News. “Making a commitment I knew I truly couldn’t deliver on, wouldn’t be fair to anybody.” Scott said over her three years at lead, Armstrong was a strong player and valued teammate. “We were so pleased that her first year with us we won provincials because she had come up short so many times before,” Scott said. “She really grew with us, espcially this year she was more vocal on the ice, and worked as a great partner brushing along with Sasha (Carter). She developed into one of the top leads in the country. We’ll

miss her but we completely support her decision.” As for Jeanna Schraeder, the longtime third for the Kelowna team will return this fall after sitting out the 201112 season to care for her third and youngest child. Schraeder helped the local rink win the 2006 and 2007 Canadian championships and the 2007 world title. Victoria’s Dailene Sivertson, who filled in for Schraeder as the vice-skip and second this year, will pursue other opportunities next season. Schrader who has curled nine years in all with Scott and Carter, is ready to rejoin her old teammates. “Obviously I’ve been pretty consumed over the last year with family, but I have missed (curling),” said Schraeder. “I probably didn’t truly miss it until they got to provincials, I saw them on T.V. there and again at the Scotties, and it was really exciting to see them do well. “The memories and success we’ve had together over the years, it wasn’t a hard decision to come back.”

ROBBIE GALLAUGHER/CONTRIBUTOR

KELOWNA’S KELLY SCOTT (centre) is looking for a new lead for next season, after Jacquie Armstrong (left) stepped aside earlier this month. Scott said the decision to reunite with Schraeder made the most sense of any option. “I think we could travel the country and look for other player combinations, but in the end we (Jeanna and I) just keep coming back to each other,” Scott said. “The experiences you go through, grinding

it out together, that really stands for something special. Jeanna has that depth and history with our team that we wouldn’t get with anyone else.” Due to family and work commitments, Schraeder expects to miss an occasional event during the 2012-13 season, but plans to be fully on board

once the team moves towards securing a berth in the Olympic pre-trials next year. The same goes for Sasha Carter who is expecting her second child in August and may have to bypass some events early in the new season. Scott expects to have a new lead by the end of April.

▼ MONSTER TRUCKS

West Kelowna’s Cam McQueen now the Monster Jam champ Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

There’s nothing frightening about Northern Nightmare for Cam McQueen. In fact, taking charge of10,000 pounds of metal, fiberglass and rubber is more like living a lifelong dream for the West Kelowna man. McQueen reached a new pinnacle in his burgeoning monster truck career, winning the freestyle title at the Monster Jam World finals last month in Las Vegas. McQueen and Northern Nightmare, his newly built Canadian truck, stole the show by controlling a front-side, end-over-end flip, then followed with a backflip to give the capacity crowd its money’s worth and McQueen a world title.

“It’s the same thing as a front summersault in gymnastics, expect with a truck,” said McQueen, 33. “Then I got back to the wheel, kept the truck in one piece and still running, then did another backflip. It’s third time I’ve been able to do a backflip in competition. This was a big one for me to do it at the Finals.” The world title was also the first for a Canadian driver and truck, a source of pride for the patriotic McQueen. “We built a truck for Canadian fans on the Maple Leaf Tour, so it was nice to bring the championship back north of the border,” said McQueen, a graduate of Mt. Boucherie Secondary. “I’m a proud Canadian, it was nice to get this one for my country.” This was McQueen’s

fifth season on the Monster Jam circuit, with him typically doing about 10 to 12 shows between January and the end of March. The Monster Jam World Finals are the monster trucker’s equivalent of the Super Bowl or Stanley Cup finals. When not performing on the Monster Jam circuit, McQueen keeps busy with many other related endeavors, including stunt work and filming. McQueen has worked previously on Thrillbillies, an extreme motor sports show which ran on Thrill T.V. and featured, as McQueen put it “adrenalin junkies” like himself performing various tricks and stunts. He recently completed work on a feature film, Nitro Circus 3D, which is expected in theatres later

this summer. Among his several stunts in the film is the unofficial record of jumping 160 feet in a school bus with loaded with passengers. When he’s not revving an engine or performing stunts, McQueen is back home in West Kelowna working on his house, and spending time with his wife, Amber, and his seventh-month-old baby boy.

Solid season reflected in camp numbers Just days after their season ended, the Kelowna Chiefs witnessed the residual effects of an extended Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoff run. Last weekend, the Chiefs hosted their biggest spring camp yet with 85 players auditioning their talents at Rutland Arena. “We had to turn people away,” said Chiefs assistant coach Grant Sheridan. “We were at capacity.” By reaching the league finals in just their second season in Kelowna, it’s

KELOWNA’S Josh Bassett (right) takes a hit from another Chiefs’ hopeful during a scrimmage last weekend at the junior B team’s spring camp at Rutland Arena.

clear the Chiefs have raised their profile as a desired destination for junior B prospects. “We had a successful season and we’re on a lot more radars now than we probably were before the playoffs,” added Sheridan. “Everybody knows we have a lot of guys moving on, so that brought out some players as well. We’re very happy with the turnout and the quality of player we saw.” Sheridan said the prospective talent came from far and wide to the spring

camp, as far north as Terrace, west to Calgary, and as far east as Vancouver. Sheridan and head coach Ken Andrusiak have extended a number of invitations to players to return for main camp in August and have already received several confirmations. Chiefs’ players moving on are 20-year-old graduates Dane Rupert, Landon Andrusiak, Shayne Welker and Josh McEwan. There are five Chiefs from this year’s squad

who are eligible to return next season as overage players—Scott Renner, Kyle Clerke, Braeden Hikichi, P.J. Lawler, and Caitlin McLeod—with only four spots available. Sheridan expects another six to eight players from the younger group to return for next season. The Chiefs, who finished fourth in the Okanagan/Shuswap Division, won three straight KIJHL playoff series in 2011-12, before falling to Beaver Valley in straight games in the league championship.

Rugby league coming here A newer brand of rugby is about to make its way to the Okanagan. The first ever Rugby League competition in B.C. will start in May and a team based in the Okanagan will be participate. Rugby League is a fast, exciting version of rugby and is played along similar rules to Touch Rugby except full body contact is allowed. The attacking side has six completed tackles to progress the ball down the field. There are no rucks or lineouts, and scrums are not contested adding to the speed of the game. The season will be scheduled around the Rugby Union season to not cause any conflict, and to give players the oppor-

tunity to play both codes of rugby. Rugby League is growing fast in Canada and the national team is already ranked 21st in the world. Training sessions will be soon be announced for interested players and any people wanting to become involved and help out. Andy Blackburn is the head coach of the British Columbia Bulldogs representative squad and will visit the Okanagan for a training camp to watch for potential players to be selected for representative games this season.

Road trip tips: The serious side of fun vehicles. RVs. More to love, more to protect. The equipment and contents of your motor home are not included in the declared value of the vehicle. Collision, Comprehensive, and Specified Perils coverage takes care of physical damage to the vehicle as well as contents (up to a certain limit). Additional optional coverage should include emergency vacation coverage, additional contents coverage and insurance on permanent s t r u c t u r e s related to your INSURANCE r e c r e a t i o n a l OUTLOOK vehicle.

Garage and storage doors are rolling open across the province as the warming weather brings out our seasonal vehicles, or motorbikes and RVs. But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order and your recreational vehicles, loved ones and belongings are protected. Here are some tips on making sure you have fun with complete peaceof-mind. Get coverage. RVs and motorbikes are not insured like regular passenger AUTO vehicles. You’ll INSURANCE need to determine WITH the worth and LORA insure them JOHN accordingly. For seasonal vehicles, the declared value becomes the policy limit and the premium is based on this value. It's important to reconsider the value every year: Is the vehicle worth more because of modifications, or worth less due to depreciation and additional wear and tear? Discuss this with a BCAA Insurance Advisor when you purchase or renew your policy. Get it right the first time. The right coverage is critical. A basic ICBC policy does not provide coverage for physical damage or higher limits of liability. You may want to consider purchasing Collision, and Comprehensive coverage to ensure that your seasonal vehicles have physical damage coverage.

Cover the map. While your RV or motorbike coverage is valid in Canada and the continental U.S., you need to arrange separate coverage if you’re driving it to Mexico. Be sure to plan in advance. Cover your options. It's also advantageous to buy a policy that spans the whole year, so that at the end of the season, you don't need to buy special storage insurance for your RV or motorbike. Purchase adequate insurance and roadside assistance for your seasonal vehicle before you set off on your road trip. The insurance specialists at BCAA will give you peace-of-mind by ensuring you get the right coverage to suit your needs. Lora John is an Insurance Advisor at BCAA.

Three teachers earn special recognition

Documentary to showcase food labeling right to know when they are buying a genetically modified food product. For the story about Schmeiser, imagine that a storm blows across your garden and that now, genetically-manipulated seeds are in your crops. A multi-national corporation pays you a visit, and demands that you surrender your crops—and then sues you for $200, 000 for the illegal use of patented seeds. In this definitive David and Goliath battle, one farmer, this case Schmeiser, stands up against a

massive multinational, and their right to claim ownership to a living organism. Participants in the panel discussion will include: • Alex Atamanenko, NDP MP in southern B.C. and is currently serving on the Parliament standing committee for agriculture • Heidi Osterman, a certified nutritionist and founder of the True Food Foundation who since seeing the documentary on Schmeiser has made a commitment to enable the public to understand the potential impact of genet-

ic foods on our food supply. • Robert Dixon, an experienced organic inspector who has been active for over 15 years in the Okanagan. Organic certification is the only food production process that explicitly prohibits genetically modified organisms. “All are very passionate about the topic of food production, the elimination GMOs and the need for food labeling,” said Karen Abramsen, with the from the Kelowna chapter of the Council of Canadi-

Three teachers at Okanagan Mission Secondary School are being recognized for their innovative approach to learning in their classroom. Carolyn Durley, Graham Johnson, and Paul Janke are recipients of the Ken Spencer Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. These teachers have “flipped” their classrooms. The students watch a screencast for homework that the teachers make on the next day’s lesson. Students watch the screencasts on any smarthone, tablet or computer. The pre-learning before class gives the teacher and students more time to further develop the concepts as very little lecture time is needed. The three teachers have commented on how this has revolutionized how they teach. The activities in their classroom have a focus on 21st Century learning skills such as collaboration, innovation, critical thinking, and communication. The award will be presented today in an awards ceremony to be held today, at 1:30 p.m., at Okanagan Mission Secondary.

ans. “If people agree that food is essential; that seedsaving is not a crime and that farmers should not be sued when GMO seed/ pollen lands in their fields, and that we all deserve the right to have GMO food labeled then we encourage you to attend.” Following the afternoon program, there will be the annual general meeting of the Kelowna chapter of the Council of Canadians, followed by a potluck supper. The public is invited. For information call 250-769-1977.

The Man in Motion serves as inspiration for all of us M

ost superheroes are supposed to have secret identities. But with their bright blue bus and even brighter yellow rain jackets, you’ll spot these ones from a mile away. Twenty-five years after Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion World Tour, his Many in Motion anniversary relay team is making its way through Kelowna this month. The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay will cover over 12,000 kilometers and visit nearly 600 communities as it passes a commemorative medal among 7,000 Canadian medal-bearers, retracing the Canadian portion of Hansen’s original Man in Motion World Tour. That tour began March 22, 1985, when a 27-year-old Hansen set out on an ambitious journey to travel around the world by wheelchair. A paraplegic since

Steve Thomson a car accident at the age of 15, Hansen wanted to raise awareness and promote accessibility and inclusivity for people with spinal cord injuries. It’s hard to imagine taking something as horrific as paralysis and using it to literally change the world, as Hansen did. He has won numerous awards and championships, including 19 international wheelchair marathons, nine gold medals in a single Pan American Wheelchair Games (in 1982), and Canada’s Disabled Athlete of the Year

▼ ART & ANTIQUES

Heirloom expert to decipher trash from treasure The Kelowna Art Gallery will play host to local art and antiques appraiser Peter Blundell and Antony Westbridge, of Westbridge Fine Arts in Vancouver, for an Heirloom Discovery Day on Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Individuals wishing to learn the value of their art, antiques, and collectibles are encouraged to contact the art gallery to book an appointment. Fifteen-minute interviews will be held throughout the day (no appointments will be booked between 1 and 2 p.m.). The cost for a session is $35 for Kelowna Art Gallery members, and $50 for non-members. Each session will allow for viewing of up to three items, subject to the time constraint. Partial proceeds from this event will support the Kelowna Art Gallery’s educational programs and exhibitions. Westbridge will give verbal opinions of value on works of art, with a possible view to taking some works to Vancouver for inclusion in one of his live, online auctions held monthly. While art of all origins may be appraised, he is particularly interested in original oil paintings created by Canadian artists. An entire fifteen-minute session may be required to assess one oil painting. Blundell will give verbal opinions of value on antiques, collectibles, and prints, with some exceptions. He cannot appraise jewelry, coins, stamps, guns, and wristwatches. However, pocket watches and swords may be brought in. Individuals who wish to have large furniture pieces assessed are asked to bring in a portion of the piece, e.g., a drawer, along with a photograph, and the item’s measurements. Please note that items thought to be more than 400 years old cannot be assessed at this event. To make an appointment, call the Kelowna Art Gallery at 250-762-2226. Payment is required at the time of booking to secure your space. Spectators at this free event are welcome. The Kelowna Art Gallery is located at 1315 Water St. in the heart of the Cultural District of downtown Kelowna.

Award in 1979, 1980, and 1982. My own brief athletic career with the national rugby team may not compare, but I do understand the dangers, challenges and commitments required. Hansen continued his involvement in sports even after his injury. Had I suffered an accident similar to what Hansen faced, I don’t know that I could have turned it into a journey around the world.

For 26 months, Hansen and his team traveled over 40,000 kilometers through 34 countries. On average, he wheeled the equivalent of two marathons and eight hours a day. He overcame severe weather conditions and extreme physical and emotional challenges to complete his remarkable journey. Of the $26 million the Man in Motion Tour raised, $20 million was

raised in Canada alone. Our country and our province continue to be big supporters of Hansen and his cause. Among other projects, Hansen has established research institutes and networks, school programs and grants, and the Rick Hansen Foundation, which has invested nearly $252 million toward spinal cord research, accessibility projects, and quality of life initiatives. His projects and leg-

acy have yielded significant progress and real results, including more programs and services for those with disabilities, improved medical treatment and higher recovery rates for those with spinal cord and related injuries. On April 28 at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, I hope you will join me and my fellow MLAs as we welcome Hansen and his 25th anniversary relay team to Kelowna for an End of Day celebration.

Local organizations will lead powered soccer demonstrations, and everyone is welcome to give wheelchair basketball a try before the medal ceremony at 5 p.m. I hope we all take inspiration from Rick Hansen’s belief that anything is possible—he has certainly proved it’s true.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ THE SHACK

Bestselling author with Kelowna roots coming to speak here Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It’s a global phenomenon that seemed to materialize out of nowhere and the man at the helm says he’s really just along for the ride. Paul Young, known on his book jacket as William Paul Young, is a father of six who sat down to write a book as a Christmas present for his kids. Five years later, he’s sold millions of copies, topped the New York Times Best Sellers’ list (from summer 2008 through 2010) and is considering paring down his speaking engagements to 50 this year, a drastic curb to his schedule. “You write stuff for your friends and family and they’re all over it because they love you,” said Young. “It was a very big surprise that other people liked it too.” Now writing a new book, one his wife of over 30 years, Kim, likes even more than The Shack, he’s turned the gift he developed on legal pads during his 40-minute bullet

train commute, into a lifestyle. The Shack, to catch those up to speed who haven’t read it, is a Christian-themed novel about a father of five who takes his children camping and finds he must rescue one child from drowning only to have another kidnapped and murdered while he does so. It’s a pretty dense plot and the book was never intended for print; and yet, it’s created a new genre in evangelical Christian literature. But the story of The Shack is only partly what’s contained within its pages. On the Christmas that Young penned the text his family had nothing. He was literally scraping by on three jobs, his wife working at the high school bakery, when someone slipped an envelop under their door anonymously with $100 in it. The money allowed Young to print the first books as gifts and his friends and family soon started sharing them with others. The story was such a

hit it literally spread by word of mouth and, after 26 publishers turned it down, one man became the publisher by using his own credit cards to bring it to print. Young never aspired

IT WAS A VERY BIG SURPRISE THAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKED IT TOO. Paul Young

to be a writer and says he doesn’t really think of himself as an author in the sense that one might see it as an identity. He enjoyed his jobs with a computer company and a hotel very much, just as he enjoys being an author. “If you put your identity into something, it’s bound to be taken away,” said Young. “That’s just how it works.” Young’s pearls of wisdom are brief. He tends to

draw from his audience to figure out what to tell people when he talks and there’s never any shortage of material. “The book affects people deeply,” he said. “The questions take us down very different paths, depending on what people are thinking about.” Young’s family lives in the Okanagan. His grandparents lived on Rose Avenue across from Kelowna General Hospital and his parents and sister are now in Vernon. As such, the Oregon-based author has spent a good deal of time here over the years, at one point even working at Vernon radio station CJIB, and always jumps at the opportunity to return. As for the impact the book has had on his own life, he says the main difference is that he’s been able to give up his three jobs and write full-time. The couple still live in their small house in Oregon and they’re still shocked at the course of their journey. A German documentary is now being made

It turns out the videographer hired to shoot a segment of the film at their home is the same man who slipped the family the $100 used to print the book years before. He had been looking

for someone to help out and ended up speaking with a friend of Young’s. He slipped the money under the door and neither party met until they went to do the filming five years later. Paul Young will be in Kelowna speaking at Botegga on April 17, starting at 7 p.m. The event is part of a three-part discussion series leading up

to the Lille Gard Festival, put on by Tribehouse Artist Collective. The discussion will focus on how Young has managed to weave his art and faith together. He will be preceded by jazz pianist Neville Bowman and singer/songwriter Joshua Smith. Tickets cost $15 and can be found at www. tribehouse.org jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

CHRIS HEMSWORTH, Jesse Williams, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz and Kristen Connolly star in Cabin In The Woods.

▼ MOVIES

Cabin opens up on Friday 13th

t would not be a Friday the 13th without a horror movie being released and tomorrow is no exception and it is not just any horror movie. Cabin In The Woods is co-written and produced by Joss Whedon, creator of such cult classics as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly and cowritten and directed by Drew Goddard, creator of Cloverfield. The story has a familiar horror ring to it as a group of five friends go on vacation to a remote cabin in the far reaches of a wooded wilderness, but the cabin has a sinister secret. However, it is already being called a horror “game-changer” and what the previews are not showing is what might turn the genre inside out (one reviewer described the last 20 minutes as “stunningly bonkers”). What I can tell you is that there are obvious comparisons to both the Evil Dead and Scream movies as they changed the horror genre themselves with a combination of gore, scares and satire. ••• Production delays have plagued Peter and Bobby Farrelly’s The Three Stooges for over a decade. While they were still riding high off of There’s Something About Mary and soon after they directed Jim Carrey in Me, Myself and Irene, the Farrelly brothers became involved with the Stooges project. Over the next ten years, names like Benicio del Toro, Hank Azaria,

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis Johnny Knoxville, Andy Samberg and Sean Penn were all attached to the movie. At one point, even Carrey had gained 40 pounds to play Curly but dropped out before gaining more because he was concerned about his health. The roles of Larry, Curly and Moe went to Sean Hayes (Will & Grace), Will Sasso (‘Til Death) and Chris Diamantopoulos respectively. The film cast also includes Jane Lynch, Larry David, Jennifer Hudson, Sofia Vergara and the cast of Jersey Shore. While it is all about the slapstick humour, the story is about the Stooges inadvertently uncovering a murder plot while trying to save their orphanage. ••• From the producers of Taken comes a sci-fi action movie with a plot and title straight out of the eighties. Lockout stars Guy Pearce (Memento) as a government agent convicted of a crime he did not commit. He is offered his freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter from a prison in space which has been overtaken by its prisoners. I would write this one off as low budget sci-fi mov-

ie, but it is co-written and produced by Luc Besson (The Professional, La Femme Nikita and The Fifth Element) and costars Maggie Grace, who played Liam Neeson’s daughter in Taken. ••• Starting tomorrow at the Paramount, Lasse Hallstrom (Dear John, Chocolat) directs Ewan McGregor and Emily

Blunt in the quirky comedy-drama Salmon Fishing in the Yemen about a British fisheries expert who is asked by a Yemeni sheikh to introduce fly-fishing to that desert country. While not most acclaimed movie in twotime Academy Awardnominee Hallstrom’s career, it is still getting some very positive reviews.

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen as) comes back to what they think will be a look back and some away with so much more. In addition to other acting credits each of them are part of the American Pie franchise which started it all. Rounding out this cast is Steve’s Mom (Jennifer Coolidge) and Jim’s Dad (Eugene Levy of SCTV, Best in Show and

A Mighty Wind). These two veteran actors give a real depth to the characters they play. The boys are getting together for their high school reunion and each is facing some sort of mid-life crisis. How they face their own particular bump in life’s road is what gives us the laughs, and disgusting jokes aside, there are some good laughs as the guys try to right a few wrongs and reach out, to the past if only for a moment. Ever been to your own high school reunion? A bit strange aren’t they? In some ways the years have sped by and it

seems like only last week you were cramming for finals, in other ways, we find ourselves so changed that we hardly recognize that gawky teen who got dressed up for prom. Would we want to go back and change anything? Well, this bunch changed a few things and in the process, grew up a bit. Oh they didn’t grow up completely (what would really be the fun in that?), but in amongst the nude scenes, the innuendos, the gross jokes and the blatant sex scenes, there were moments in which we all could relate, like the stale marriage, the career goals not quite

met, the adventures put on hold. There is a bit of all of us in this, if only on the saner levels. Everyone gives a great performance and do stay to the very end, there’s one more scene and while the credits role, you see the cast as they were in 1999 and how they look now. Yeah, well good news, even movie stars age. They just have more expensive wrinkles than the rest of us. I give this 2.5 stars. The language is bad but it is worth the money.

Finding out how to match your passion with your profession

aybe it sounds trite, but the way you spend the majority of your time is the best indicator both of what you are passionate about and what direction your life is heading. A lot of lip service is paid to the notion of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;following your dreamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pursuing a passion.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We all have the idea that life would be great if we could make a living doing the thing we love most. Unfortunately, those who simply repeat these clichĂŠ phrases often do not emphasize the most important step in this journeyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;effort. Many times, simply the idea of following a dream or passion can be the place where the journey stops. Over the course of our lives, we may have many things or activities we feel passionate about. One of the great things about being human is our capacity for curiosity and interest in a variety of areas. Mostly, we become interested

then move on to the next thing. If you want to be successful at something, you must put Paul in a lot of hard work. Latimer The more time you spend at it, the better youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become. When you are good at something, you are more likely to become increasingly passionate about it and the positive feedback loop continues. More effort equals more passion equals more effort. The two must go hand in hand if you expect to truly pursue your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;passion.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Of course, we often do spend a lot of time and effort on things we do not feel passionate about or even enjoy. Many people get into a job they are not suited for and work hard at it for years without increasing their enjoyment. Even with relative success, life can become pretty miserable when you spend the majority of your time doing something you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like.

The road leading to the summit of Knox Mountain Park has re-opened to vehicle traffic. Knox Mountain Drive will be opened to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and noon to 9 p.m. on Sunday until next winter.

In these instances, a little bit of career or life counselling can go a long way. When choosing what you will spend your time on, choose wisely. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to assess where you have strengths, what subjects interest you and how you might turn these strengths and interests into a viable career. Will it involve hard work every day? Yesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working hard toward something you feel is worthwhile, you will look forward to the hard work rather than resenting it and simply wishing you were doing something else. If you are in a job you truly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy, maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to do some serious research, education or professional career counselling to consider a switch. Then the clichĂŠ could become reality and with some focused and sustained effort, you could find yourself passionate about your work.

ICBC recognizes volunteer efforts In recognition of National Volunteer Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x201D;April 15 to 21â&#x20AC;&#x201D;ICBC is thanking the 140 volunteers in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country for their continued support in making the communities safer for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These volunteers have made a real differenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;last year in the Southern Interior, over 480 volunteers donated more than 18,000 hours delivering road safety programs,â&#x20AC;? said Norm Letnick, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These volunteers care passionately about the safety of their neighbourhoods,â&#x20AC;? said Christine Silver, local ICBC road safety coordinator. In 2011, Speed Watch program volunteers in Kelowna and the surrounding area contributed over 1,000 hours to help reduce speed-related crashes in their communities. With the support of volunteers, speed-related crashes have steadily decreased in B.C. over the last five years. Volunteers use radar and speedreader boards supplied by ICBC to show drivers how fast theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually traveling. Research shows that it worksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more than 70

per cent of drivers traveling 10km/h over the speed limit slow down when they see a speed-reader board. In 2011, Lock Out Auto Crime program volunteers in Kelowna and the surrounding area handed out approximately 200

notices resembling parking tickets onto the windshields of vehicles, many with valuables in sight, offering common sense tips to the owners to protect them from becoming the victim of auto crime. These volunteers also operate the Stolen Auto

Recovery program in the Central Okanagan. In 2011, they scanned over 11,400 licence plates to help identify stolen vehicles. In Kelowna, ICBC has seen a 25 per cent decrease in vehicle thefts and 58 per cent decrease in break-ins since 2003.

Fighting our sedentary urges W e have become a sedentary population. Our society and technology is to blame for that. Most of us drive to work, sit at work, go home and sit in front of the TV only to end our day with going to sleep. Exercise, nowadays seems to be something that has to be planned for. An article recently published in the Archives of Internal Medicine talks about the dangers of sustained sitting. They found that people who spend most of their day sitting are up to 40 per cent more likely to die from any cause when compared to people who don’t sit as long. These were some of their findings: in the over 200,000 Australian adults who were followed for three years, individuals who sat less than four hours per day had a 15 per

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel cent lower chance of dying when compared to those who sat for eight hours, and a 40 per cent lower chance of time for people who sat more than 11 hours per day. This is one of the first studies to correlate life longevity with sitting duration. It has been well established that even the most modest form of exercise is better than none at all. I’m certain that this is not the first time that you heard that a sedentary lifestyle lends one to words infirmary, illness and premature death. It only makes sense.

There are many small steps we can take throughout the course of the that can improve on one’s physical fitness and staves off the untoward effects of a sedentary lifestyle. For example, when possible, take the stairs. Park your car at the farthest possible parking spot in the lot. Begin a walking program at lunchtime or after dinner with your family. If you really want to reduce your chance of failure towards and exercise routine, make a commitment with someone else to do it together. Some of us are more likely to disappoint ourselves than someone else. When you wake in the morning, commit yourself to a brief bout of calisthenics lasting only five minutes. It’s a good start. Within our body we have a system called the

lymphatic system. The system is essentially our sewer system. It takes away our waste products for processing and elimination. The lymphatic system works best when the muscles of the body are pumping, that same activity seen in exercise, movement and walking. More movement means more healthy. Less movement means less healthy. I’m reminded of a quote that a Buddhist master told me once when I was in Nepal. He said the body is meant to be a river, always moving. We are not meant to be a stagnant pond. There is much life in a river and only foul smell in a swamp. Dr. Markus Thiel is a Doctor of Chiropractic in Kelowna. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

With competition like the H20 Centre and Parkinson Recreation Centre east of the bridge, Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre is doing what it can to keep West Kelowna residents swimming in its waters. Bob Stedham is a consultant with Active Living Enterprises, the company that has operated JBMAC since 1997. He spoke to West Kelowna council on Tuesday to share some of JBMAC’s successes and challenges. He explained that JBMAC gets over 125,000 visitors every year, teaches thousands of swimming lessons and hosts the Liquid Lightning Swim Club: One of the most successful competitive swimming programs in the Interior. He added that events like twoonie public swims, day camps, special events and children’s programs have been successful in bringing community members to the facility. Since 1997, when Active Living Enterprises began operating JBMAC, over two million people have used the facility. The centre has also employed over 400 locals in the past 10 years. But according to Stedham, there are also several challenges that JBMAC faces. He told council members that JBMAC is an aging facility in need of an upgrade. “We like to look at it as the little train that could. It’s a small facility, it’s not well updated at this point,” said Stedham. He explained that with six new shopping centres and several fitness facilities on the Westside, JBMAC no longer has a monopoly on leisure activities. “You know the competition that’s out there for us right now; it’s amazing that we get what we get out of it on a daily basis,” Stedham said. “On any given Saturday or Sunday, when families have choices where to go, it used to be the pool in the old days. Now they can go a lot of places.” But Stedham said he is optimistic that JBMAC’s future can be bright. He explained to council that the aquatic centre is focusing on utilizing social media marketing, working in cooperation with DWK staff to address major physical plant capital needs and becoming known as an education centre for pool operator, advanced fitness, lifeguarding and water safety instructor courses. Coun. Rick de Jong was quick to commend Stedham on the condition of the aquatic centre. “As someone whose family has used the Johnson Bentley pool over the years, I compliment you on a job well done. The pool is a true jewel for this community,” said de Jong. Mayor Doug Findlater said that he feels the majority of the community is satisfied with JBMAC. “People are generally pretty pleased with the facility, certainly the program,” said Findlater. “People do see needs to improve the actual physical structure— we’re aware of that and we’re looking at that.”

Dog control bylaw fines insufficient as a deterrent A recent media reporting of a pit bull attack in the Rutland area of Kelowna inspired this column topic. A mother was reportedly walking her children, and the family’s two dogs, along Rutland Road last week Tuesday. She was taking her children to day care. A pit bull attacked the two dogs. The pit bull was known to dog control authorities, having a past history of aggression towards other animals as well as people. When the RCMP and dog control showed up, the pit bull owner reportedly greeted them with an obscene hand gesture. As if pit bull owners needed that added hit to

DECORATIVE TOUCHES

Paul Hergott their collective public perception. It’s unfortunate that the mother, and children, had to witness their pets being mauled. Hopefully the pets’ injuries will heal in due course. “Unfortunate,” though, doesn’t begin to describe what could have happened if the target of the pit bull’s attack had been the children instead of the other dogs. According to statistics I dug up from our neigh-

bours to the south, dog bite injuries to children aged four and younger are to the head/neck areas 65 per cent of the time. When a pit bull latches on to a child’s face the child is left with, at a minimum, a horrible combination of physical and emotional scaring. Incidentally, American statistics also show that pit bulls account for 42 per cent of fatal attacks against human beings. Given the fact that pit bulls represent a small percentage of the total number of dogs, that’s an alarmingly impressive statistic. Add this particular pit bull’s history of aggression towards people as well as animals, it was just rolling the dice luck

that the children were spared. On my review of local dog control bylaws, penalties to the owners of dogs that behave viciously do not seem to “fit the crime.” Impound fees for a dangerous dog start at $500, and fines cap out at $200. Clearly, bylaws were insufficient to cause this dog owner to take necessary precautions to ensure that his or her pit bull, with a history of aggression, didn’t have the opportunity to strike again. This is where the civil law might fill an important gap. Under our civil law, a dog owner can be held accountable to the victim for a dog attack. That accountability can include both financial compensation for the

losses suffered by the victim as well as a financial punishment, known in legal circles as “punitive damages,” if the dog owner’s conduct is so egregious it is worthy of punishment. One way to achieve civil accountability (liability) for a dog attack is by proving the elements of a legal doctrine called “scienter.” Scienter is made out if the victim proves that the dog showed a propensity to cause the harm that was caused; and the owner knew of that propensity. Normally, a dog must have some history of aggressive behaviour for scienter to apply. One judge has summarized that requirement by saying “every dog is entitled to one bite.” A recent case out of Kamloops (2009), how-

dog owners financially accountable for attacks by their dogs, regardless of breed and regardless of the dog’s past history. Money talks. Financial accountability is a powerful tool in our legal system to encourage responsible behaviour. Why not leave the risk of a dog attack on the dog owner who made the choice of owning a dog, rather than pass it on to an innocent child on the street? I have never handled a dog attack case, but I know of excellent lawyers who have and I would be pleased to refer you accordingly.

ever, held that the one free bite is not available if the dog is a cross breed with a wild animal such as a wolf. In other words, the owner of the Malamute/ wolf cross in that case was found liable for an attack even though the dog had never before shown aggression. I wonder whether or not evidence of the significantly higher incidence of pit bull attacks, in comparison with other dogs, might lead our Courts to treat pit bulls like they treat cross breeds with wolves. If so, pit bull owners would be liable for an attack even if the pit bull had never before shown any aggression. Would that be fair? Quite frankly, I happen to think fairness would extend to enacting legislation that would make all

ore than anything else, coal fuelled the Industrial Revolution. It was, and still is, plentiful and cheap. It’s also always been relatively easy to get at, especially if you don’t mind sending kids into mines, endangering the lives of miners, or blasting the tops off mountains. Coal is an 18th-century fuel source, but we’re still relying on it for much of our energy needs in the 21st century. Because it’s so abundant and inexpensive, there’s been little incentive to switch to cleaner but often more expensive sources. Burning coal pollutes the air, land, and water and is a major driver of climate change. Emissions from coal combustion contain sul-

SCIENCE MATTERS

David Suzuki phur dioxide, carbon dioxide, mercury, arsenic, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, lead, small particles, and other toxic materials. These cause acid rain, smog, damage to forests and waterways, and a range of serious health problems in humans, from lung disease to cancer. And, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver concluded after comparing the impacts of burning tar sands oil to burning coal, “We will live or die by our future consumption of

coal.” That doesn’t mean the tar sands are okay; it’s just that there’s a lot more coal in the world, and the impacts of mining and burning it are more severe. I agree with Weaver that the “world needs to transition away from fossil fuels if it wants to avoid dangerous human interference with the climate system. That means coal, unconventional gas, and unconventional oil all need to be addressed.” Canada uses more than half its coal to generate electricity and for industry. We export about 40 per cent, much of it to Japan and elsewhere in Asia. Canada also imports coal, mainly because it’s cheaper to ship it from the U.S. to eastern provinces than from Western Canada.

Canada’s electricity is from coal, less than the global 40 per cent average, and much less than countries like China, which uses coal to generate about 80 per cent of its electricity. But use varies across the country. According to Natural Resources Canada, “Coal is used to produce about 74 per cent of the electricity used in Alberta, 63 per cent in Saskatchewan, 60 per cent in Nova Scotia, and 18 per cent in Ontario. The coal not used to generate electricity is consumed by Canada’s steel, cement and other industries.” Rather than looking for cleaner ways to generate energy, many industrial and government leaders have been touting “clean coal.” This means trying to reduce some of the pollutants and CO2 by “scrubbing” them from emissions or by burying them underground in a process called carbon capture and storage (CCS). It can also mean converting coal to gas. These are inadequate solutions. We are well beyond the 18th century. With energy, it’s time to look to the future and not the past. That means finding ways to encourage clean energy development and discourage fossil fuel consumption. Carbon taxes and cap and trade must be part of the equation. www.davidsuzuki.org.

Obituaries

DIEDERICHS, ROSEMARIE ELENOR (August 19, 1931 – April 6, 2012) The peaceful passing of Rose Diederichs occurred at Kelowna General Hospital in Kelowna, following a battle with cancer. Rose was born near St. Benedict, Saskatchewan to Nick and Hilda Diederichs (Gruending), and in her mid-teens moved with her family to Kelowna. Once out of school Rose worked in the Banking Industry for CIBC Bank for more than 30 years working in Victoria, Vancouver and finally to Kelowna where she eventually retired. After her retirement, she spent many hours working in her yard, spending quality time with sisters Mary and Bern and until recently, worked tirelessly as a volunteer at the local hospital. Rose’s many interests also included travel and site-seeing; in which she enjoyed many trips to Mexico, Hawaii, and later on an Alaskan cruise. Aunt Rose was so very special to all who knew her, and was always happy to share stories of herself from both the present and from her past childhood days growing up in Saskatchewan and then later in BC. Rose is survived by her sister Bernadette Tempel of Kelowna and a large family of nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Nicholas and Hildegard Diederichs, brothers Arthur, Ralph and James, sister Mary Wendland, brothers-in-law Bill Wendland and John Tempel, sisters-in-law Agnes Diederichs and Raymonde Diederichs. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made in Rose’s name to the Canadian Cancer Society. Prayer service for Rose will be held at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, April 12 at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road in Kelowna, and a Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, April 13 at 10:00 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Church, 839 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, B.C. Interment to follow at the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
