Development advocates try to trump OCP Extra camera crews, buses, T-shirts and slogan buttons snag major attention for Kelowna Mountain project and its Donald Trump-affiliated supporters. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Technically speaking, the Central Okanagan Regional District meeting Monday night in Kelowna City Hall was to discuss the new official community plan for properties just outside the city’s limits in East Kelowna and the Mission. In practice, it looked more like a dry run for Kelowna Mountain’s paperwork debut, when developers for the mammoth four-season resort community finally apply for zoning and development permits on the project they’re already erecting in the Mission. Cameras were rolling—including those brought by the developer, KM lobbyists and investors—as three Greyhound bus-fulls of the development’s supporters filled the hearing space, foyer and the steps outside to reject the new planning document. But the regional district directors were not impressed. “It feels to me like an entire group was bused in to encourage us not to follow due process and I really have a big problem with that,” said Kelowna director Gail Given, addressing the sea of people sporting “Create 2800 jobs—stop the OCP” T-shirts. Those in support of the mountain resort want its existence written into the new community plan from the outset, effectively circumventing any new regulations which might delay construction. But the document before the directors does not include the year-round snowboarding hill, conference centre, vineyard, golf course, suspension bridges and trail system planned (and in many cases already built) for the property. Residents of Lakeshore, Chute Lake and June Springs roads—the areas the new OCP covers—barely got a chance to register feedback on the development constraints, environmental protections and investment guidelines the plan sets out as lobbyists for the mountain dominated the public comment portion of the even-

Hospital district ready to pay for a 4th floor
Investigation likely to last for months
Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District says it is willing to pay for a fourth floor on the planned new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre at Kelowna General Hospital. Regional district board chairman Robert Hobson said the hospital district has offered to pay $8.3 million for a shelled-in fourth floor on the new building, which is currently envisioned as a three-storey complex. “We just thought this would be a very good use of taxpayer dollars,” said Hobson, who added an earlier offer to the provincial government for the hospital district to lend Victoria the 60 per cent of the cost of the extra floor that it has traditionally contributed to such capital projects was rebuffed. Robert Hobson Hobson said to get two extra floors added to KGH’s new six-storey Centennial Tower—a building slated to open May 27— the hospital district loaned Victoria just over $17 million to cover its share of the addition to the $280-million tower. But a similar offer for the heart centre was rejected by the provincial treasury board, said Hobson, amid growing pressure on Interior Health to open shelled-in space in the new patient care tower at Vernon’s Jubilee Hospital. That space has now been opened up. Hobson said the hospital district hopes to hear back from Victoria about the heart centre offer soon. “We hope to receive a favourable response in the near future from the Ministry of Health on our funding offer, as the opportunity to take advantage of the associated savings is closing on the construction contract.” The regional district chairman said the offer to pay for an extra floor on the heart centre was made because it would be cheaper to include the additional floor in the initial construction, Interior Health has identified it as important to the project, the addition of an extra floor later could trigger expensive building code changes to other parts of the hospital and doing the work now could save as much as $8.8 million. Hobson also noted that while the top two floors of the Centennial Tower were initially slated to be shelledin for later use, when the tower opens, large parts of both will be in full use. He said he expects that will be the same situation with a fourth floor on the heart centre building. The $480-million Interior Health and Surgical Centre is to be built on the site of KGH’s existing Pandosy Building. The Pandosy Building is to be demolished later this year. The heart centre is expected to open in 2016 and will make KGH just the fifth full cardiac care centre in B.C.

The scene of Sunday’s floatplane crash near Brenda Mines has been cleared, but it may be months before investigators can offer a reason why it fatally veered offcourse. “The post-crash fire consumed the logs of the aircraft and a lot of the evidence, like control positions, etc.,” said Bill Yearwood, with the Transportation Safety Board. “But that is not unheard of. From time to time we have to deal with these challenges—it just means it will take longer and we still have to talk to witnesses and find out more information.” As the safety board investigates the cause of the crash, the regional coroner is expected to reveal the identities of the two, yet-unnamed passengers aboard the plane Thursday morning. The pilot has already been identified as West Vancouver resident Colin Moyes. Moyes, 52, had flown the route from Pitt Meadows to Kelowna and back several times with friends and family. He was expected to be married in the next month, and it’s believed that the passengers he died alongside were his future inlaws. Moyes leaves behind his fiancee, an 11-year-old son, and countless friends in the aviation world who were rocked by the news of his death.

TRANSPORTATION Safety Board crash scene investigators look over parts from the floatplane that crashed near the Coquihala Connector highway on Sunday. “Mere words cannot express the incredible sense of loss that the Aviation Community here at Pitt Meadows and across the nation is feeling at this very moment,” said Christopher Georgas, the owner of Pacific Rim Aviation Academy Inc. “The tragic loss of a loved one and those closest to him came in the spiritual form of a great man, father, partner, husband, relative, colleague and a gift to the world. All of us have been affected and are truly devastated.” The flight left the south side of Okanagan Lake on Sunday night and crashed
into the hillside adjacent to Highway 97C, shortly before 7 p.m. Witnesses speculated that Moyes was trying to pilot the plane toward the highway, but it came short of that goal by a couple hundred feet. During its descent, it was torn apart by trees and burst into flames. The Transportation Safety Board is attempting to gather further information. Anyone who saw the de Havilland Beaver on its descent into the hillside on Highway 97 C is urged to call the investigator in charge at 604-666-6250.
Warning issued: Backcountry will be patrolled Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Conservation officers and enforcement staff from the B.C. Forest, Land and Natural Resource Operations Min-
istry will be out in force over the long weekend in the back country. CO Jim Beck says staff will be out patrolling in the Bear Creek area and at recreation sites as well as around wetlands such
as in the Grizzly Lake, Chute Lake and Garnet Lake areas. Those with all-terrain vehicles are warned it is illegal to destroy wetland and riparian areas, with fines of $575 for each of-
fence. “We’ll be checking out all the mud bogger spots for offenders,” noted Beck. Staff with FLNRO have been working to clean up all the rustic, backcountry recreation
sites in time for the start of the camping season, reports recreation officer John Glaspie.

ples, to be taken at several local beaches, because it does not want the bad results it knows it will get from Cedar Avenue lumped in with other test results and the public, particularly visitors, to think Kelowna beaches are not
safe places to swim. Earlier this week, Kelowna city council agreed to collect water samples at local beaches for Interior Health to test, ending a holdout it started last year when IH said it could no longer afford to pay for the beach water sample collections. In agreeing the city should collect the samples, Mayor Walter Gray said Kelowna should also test the water at Cedar Avenue—a site where the city posts signs saying it is unsafe to swim because of poor water quality—in order to show why the city feels that way. But Joe Creron, the city’s director of civic operations, said the information collected about Cedar Avenue should not be made public because he feared it would taint the public’s view of Kelowna beaches. In a recent survey, he said 85 per cent of visitors asked said local beaches were the main reason they visit Kelowna. At its meeting on Monday, council agreed that the city will pay for the collection of water samples during the summer at popular beaches such as Hot Sands in City Park, Tugboat Bay in Waterfront Park, Gyro, Rotary and Sarsons. Last year IH said it would no longer pay for
the collection of water samples from beaches in municipalities in the Central Okanagan, prompting Kelowna to complain the move was a form of downloading. While other municipalities agreed to pay for the sample collections and IH said it would pay for, and conduct, the water tests, Kelowna was a holdout. It has now changed that position and will collect the samples before passing them to IH for testing. Gray said testing water at “no-swimming” sites like Cedar Avenue, Sutherland Bay and Fascieux Creek, would give the city the data it needs to show just how poor the water quality is at those locations. Last year, Cedar Avenue was the subject of a controversial city development proposal that many in the community opposed. The opponents want the area maintained as a park. Gray said while it could be used as a lakeshore park, its uses do not have to include swimming. The poor water quality in the area is due to goose and duck excrement, poor water circulation and shallow depth. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

tained sites where there is no charge for use. The enhanced sites have camp hosts who collect fees and maintain the sites. In addition to camping sites, there are about 38 trails separate from those sites, said Glaspie, including the trails in the Bear Creek area and the cross country ski trails such as the Nordic trails in the McCulloch Lake area, which are used in all seasons. There is still some snow around in shaded areas in the Beaver and Dee Lakes area, as well as other recreation areas at that elevation, but warm weather has dried up much of the mud.

People are responsible for habitat conservation Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
B.C. has a global responsibility to conserve habitat for fish and wildlife, simply because it’s a last refuge for wildlife, says Robert Butler, research scientist, author and internationallyknown speaker on topics such as ornithology. Butler is a member of the board of the Nature Trust of B.C. and says it’s particularly important that habitat here is protected because so many large mammals have retreated to B.C., Alaska and the Yukon as a last refuge. Lowlands such as valley bottoms are particularly critical habitats, yet they’re especially threatened by development for human interests, he notes. And that’s where organizations such as the nature trust come in. This week, the nature trust is celebrating the purchase of a 2,000acre grassland property at Twin Lakes, east of Penticton. “We do a lot of good work around the province,” he said. “Sometimes it’s difficult to get people to visualize the importance of places they don’t see every day.” For instance, habitat for wildlife—to those living in cities—is often too far removed from their daily lives for them to understand the importance of conserving such wild land. The nature trust has been around for 40 years and is financially secure, with a lot of properties it is responsible for. The board is very inspired and it has

It’s very stable.” Conserving wild lands is like a good investment, he said. Properties like Rose Valley Pond in West Kelowna, which the nature trust, along with the Central Okanagan Land Trust, the Okanagan Region Wildlife Heritage Fund and other partners purchased in 1992, are great educational tools to help youngsters learn about the web of life in a natural wetland, he noted. Located adjacent to Rose Valley elementary, the small parcel became

the key to a 250-hectare regional park by the same name, with the regional district holding tenure on the Crown-owned land. It’s just one example of the work the trust has done and is doing in the valley. The Nature Trust has also contributed several parcels of land to Okanagan Mountain Park and
to purchase of Woodhaven Nature Conservancy in Kelowna. Often, he said, people don’t realize until it’s too late that it’s important to preserve particular wild spaces and natural features. John Keller, who is on staff with the nature trust, pointed out that the organization worked with a wide variety of organizations, including both federal and provincial ministries, private donors and non-profit groups to acquire the Twin Lakes property, and he believes that kind of collaboration is important to achieve the trust’s goals. Collaboration is also what led to creation of the annual Earth Wind and Fire fund-raising gala at the Delta Grand, which features fare from some of the province’s finest chefs and top wines, along with live entertainment from the beginning of the evening to the end. Funds from last year’s event went toward purchase of the Twin Lakes property. A feature of the event is the great Wall of Wine—1,000 bottles of some of B.C.’s best wines estimated at a value of $37,000—which will be auctioned off during the evening, along with some great trips and special adventures, food and collectables, cookbooks and jewelry. The event goes Friday, June 1, at the Delta Grand Okanagan, beginning with a sparkling reception at 5:30 p.m. Tickets and details are available at the website: www.naturetrust. bc.ca under events.

Sports is about competition
F
irst they—the adults in charge—took away ribbons on Sports Day. Then they stopped keeping score in kids’ hockey games. Now Canada’s 56 national sports bodies want to take competition out of other youth games and focus on fun and skills rather than winning. For example, in Ontario they want to change soccer tournaments for players younger than eight to “festivals,” in which no standings would be kept, no MVPs selected, no winners and
losers. The greatest part of sports is competition, trying your best to win. Not at all costs—that’s why sports have rules. But why bother playing if you’re not trying to win? Friendships form out of a common interest, and a common goal, not shaking hands. That’s sportsmanship, and it already exists. Failure, making mistakes, is how we learn—even if it is just how to cope with that. It breeds desire and builds character from
which grow compelling stories of overcoming adversity. This new national program, under the guidance of Sport Canada, is not wrong in wanting to focus on skills over winning. Everyone develops at a different rate. But natural ability and individual skill alone don’t win championships or medals. Determination is vital, fuelling the hours of practise required to perfect the skills necessary to succeed. Even then, intelligence, teamwork and tactics are key
factors, as are risk and luck, timing and circumstance. How do you develop those traits if you take competition out of the picture? Go to an elementary school at lunch hour and you won’t see them practising, but playing games. Ask them the score and the ones competing will tell you. Sports, like life, aren’t fair. They are about winning. Again, what would be the point if the players weren’t trying to win?

Our spending ways are leading us down a rocky road ahead
M
y generation has seen huge transformations in how we live during our lifetime. We were raised in the old-fashioned, antiquated ways of doing things, and watched those ways tossed upside down or discarded as the technology wave and plethora of credit card options changed the way our economic world functions. My generation is the bridge. My 80-plus parents are still trying to figure out how to operate a push-button phone, while my five-year-old child is already adept at computer video games. As for me, I am stuck between those worlds, sympathetic to those left behind from the generations before me, while trying to keep up with the
change that technology constantly throws at us now. So when I ventured home last weekend to participate in a family meeting to discuss my parents’ wishes for their wealth and belongings, I was struck by how much money they had accumulated in their lifetime by following a basic principle—don’t spend what you don’t have. That’s right, saving their money. They raised their family without spending what they didn’t have. Why? Because they were children of the depression. They knew what it was to have nothing, both growing up in lar-
ge families on the prairies in the Dirty ’30s. They saved their money as they grew older and after we kids had moved on. They had credit cards but Barry they actually made a Gerding point of paying them off at the end of each month. They drive two old Ford Topazs that date back to the 1990s. They watch a smaller screen TV because it is good enough for them. They could easily afford a new car or TV, but the “save it for a rainy day” mentality continues to control their thinking. The investment money sharks constantly tell them to invest their mo-
EDITOR’S NOTE
ney in the stock market to make more money off what they have, but they say we have enough, and to get out of their face or they will move their money elsewhere. As a result, they have zero debt. I wonder how many of us, if we were to retire tomorrow, could say that? How many of us have succumbed to the invitation to run up bills on our lines of credit, credit cards or line of credit mortgage to have those possessions we don’t really need but are convinced we must have? The idea of a 19-year-old buying a dining room set he or she can’t afford on credit because they just have to have it is a foreign concept to my parents. They are from an era, the depression years, that nobody under the
age of 80 has ever experienced. So I think of my parents every time I hear a politician extolling the virtues of we consumers spending our money in order to revive the economy. Just spend, spend, spend and everything we be alright. That’s the attitude that got us into this economic uncertainty we face today. When it is time for my generation and those that follow to retire, it is not going to be pretty. We will have not saved enough, and the value of what our money can buy will continue to decline. And I think the lessons we should have learned from our elders will long be forgotten. Barry Gerding is the managing editor of the Kelowna Capital News. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice
Concerted effort to save family of ducks To the editor: As I approached work along Harvey last Friday morning, a mommy duck was trying to get her ducklings across the highway. I barely missed them. After I parked and walked over to check whether they had been hit by oncoming traffic, a woman was calling the fire department because the ducklings were trapped in the sewer drain and the mommy duck was
freaking out, quacking up a storm and running in and out of traffic. Another woman came along and jumped into the street in her attempts to direct traffic away from mommy duck. Having ensured these concerned citizens were able to remain with the ducks, I walked upstairs to my office while feeling sheepish that I wasn’t able to do more to help. As I looked out the window, I
was startled to see a firetruck stationed on Harvey and the inside lane already cordoned off. I could only assume that the duck family was being well looked after, but I couldn’t be absolutely certain. Not long after lunch I took a break and walked over to the historic fire station on Water Street. I spoke to a firefighter who gave credit for the duck rescue to Capt. Larry Hollier.
He told me the story about Capt. Hollier taking the ducklings in a box across Harvey to Mill Creek while mommy duck was flapping her way across the highway probably wondering what these pesky humans were doing with her babies. Needless to say, mommy duck and her family were reunited and made their way safely down to Mill Creek. All this only two days
shy of Mother’s Day. Not only was the concern of bystanders admirable, but I was especially impressed that the fire department responded within minutes and was able to avert a tragedy. Thankfully, the reputation of the fire department for rescuing animals remains alive and well. Kim Alan Dawson, Kelowna
▼ ENVIRONMENT
As of May 14, we still have wars, people starving, crime, poverty, abuse of all kinds, greed—and the list goes on. I find it interesting that Hollywood is valued and admired, even though that culture has a tendency to eat their own kind by feeding on scandal. Where do we find the millions of dollars to pay pro athletes while social workers, teachers, nurses, etc. have to fight for every penny they make? I find it interesting that we still abuse our health with things like smoking, drinking, overeating, etc. Racism still exists in 2012. In my lifetime alone our numbers have grown from one billion to seven billion. One would think that with increased numbers we would have correspondingly more compassion for each other. One would think that we might have a strong sense of who we are and what our values are. What is our level of compassion for each other? Do our values reflect a sense of taking better care of each other and the others we share the planet with? As of May 14 economics is a red hot potato. The price of everything is rising daily, and corporate greed is still alive and well. Capitalism is on the ropes as it crumbles beneath the weight of debt that can never be repaid and greed that is unquenchable. Big business has trained us how to think and act, something we have bought into, hook, line and sinker. Seven billion people on the planet, all consuming stuff, stuff that is straining the planet like it has never been strained before. Is our quest for continued, unlimited economic growth relevant in today’s world? Do we still need a measure of economy that factors in the proceeds of war to satisfy our appetite for unlimited growth?

Pulling for change one paddle stroke at a time To the editor: On May 14, I reached 500 days of paddling my standup paddlesurfer consecutively to change the way we live on the planet. May 14 was also the day I found myself wondering what changes we have made for the planet during the last 500 days. The environmental, social and economic challenges we face today are staggering. Here is the report card as I see it on May 14, starting with the environment. Last time I looked we are still poisoning the very air we all breathe, polluting the very water we all drink and the food we all eat is questionable at best. As of May 14, the great debate still rages on whether climate change is man-made or natural. As of May 14 our federal government has managed to squash Kyoto (Protocol regarding climate change) as well as various other checks and balances that have sent the environmental gains made over the last 40 years back into the Stone Age. As of May 14 we have provincial and federal governments that would put the environment at risk by building the Northern Gateway project. This is only the tip of the iceberg, and I find myself wondering how it has become OK to abuse the very environment that provides us all with the precious gift of life. Air has been given to us to breathe, freely and without expectation, other than to take care of the planet. Water is given freely, without expectation, other than to take care of the planet. Photosynthesis is given freely to grow all the food we need to survive, without expectation, other than to take care of the planet. Are we taking care of the planet, or are we busy trying to figure out how to make a buck by harnessing what has been freely given?
In the May 11 flyer on page 13, the SteelSeries Diablo III Headset and the SteelSeries Diablo III Mouse (WebCodes: 10181531/10180532) were advertised with an incorrect price. Please be advised that the headset is $119.99 and the mouse is $69.99. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.
driven onto Swamp Road and some car is going to be hit badly very much sooner than later. There are some really terrible golfers out there and their horrid hooks or slices could cause some terrible window damage and or death, you never know. I have already tried to write the Range and was totally ignored and I was only trying to help out for the safety of others. And Michaelbrook, well, any complaint about
slow play or condition of their course is ignored so how can I get through to them about a much needed net? I ask for any assistance from those who frequently drive along Swamp Road on a regular basis to ask Michaelbrook and or the Range to consider the option of a net for our better protection. Why they cannot figure this out on their own is beyond me. Nol Preen, Kelowna
Have we affected the planet’s ability to sustain life? The evidence says we have. The report card as of May 14 is not very encouraging. If anything, during the last 500 days that I have paddled we have gone backwards, and worse, we still face many of the same challenges that have been around for centuries. So what to do? As always we can learn a thing or two from nature. Nature has the ability to look after nature. Nature will survive our self-importance, regardless of our world view. Nature is already taking steps to survive and deal with our indifference towards the planet. Natural events like hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. do not recognize our man-made borders or our self-importance. Science is proving that there is a strong correlation between natural events and our activities on the planet. As Dr. Suzuki says: “We have become a force of nature,” and not in a good way. Clearly change is required—real change, one person at a time, one action at a time. The environment can be changed by consuming differently, giving consideration to the impact of our choices on the planet. Our social challenges can be changed with one question: “Who are we?” and one action—the practice of compassion. The economy will take care of itself if we can find a way to stop protecting outdated and destructive practices by embracing a new reality that shows compassion for our planet. Like all problems, the first step is recognizing that there is a problem. Like all challenges, the first step is embracing change. The future is ours to choose and I am pulling (literally, by paddling every day) for a better report card in the next 500 days. Bob Purdy, Kelowna

A former president, treasurer, secretary and director of the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club received the highest award from the provincial organization at the annual general meeting in Kelowna on the weekend. Pat Westheuser, of West Kelowna, has also served as a director and regional director on the B.C. Nature executive, and recently has been doing the cooking for the B.C. Nature camps, along with the CONC current president Fiona Flook. That pair also organize the Young Naturalists’ Clubs in this area. Westheuser was presented with the Elton Anderson Award by B.C. Nature president John Neville and past-president Bev Ramey at the AGM banquet held at Okanagan College Saturday. Elton Anderson was a past-president of the organization and the award goes to those who have emulated the dedication, devotion and energy he exhibited in furthering the aims of B.C. Nature.

Because Westheuser chairs the awards committee for B.C. Nature, keeping it a secret from her who was to receive that particular award was quite a challenge according to executive members. Her husband Hugh Westheuser was in on it, and admitted she even wanted to know why he was bringing his camera along to the banquet. But, he said, she was surprised at receiving the award. They pair first joined CONC in 1979, and both have served in a variety of executive positions at the local level since then. During the B.C. Nature Spring Conference that concluded on the weekend, delegates went on a variety of field trips and heard speakers on topics such as Nature in the Central Okanagan and Managing Nature, as well as attending birding and owling trips. Pat Westheuser also received a new award from the local Girl Guides of Canada last month called the Spirit of Monashee award, for her decades of work volunteering with that organization.

Investors applaud developer’s approach
Advocates from A1 ing. The regional directors were told a zoning application for Kelow-
na Mountain has been filed—as of Monday, May 14—although it was deemed incomplete. This got Central Okanagan Regional District
board chairman Robert Hobson wondering how the investors could back a plan that’s not seen the proper government scrutiny.

“As an investor, when would you expect a developer to start applying for permits from local government?” Hobson asked the first man who identified himself as a Kelowna Mountain project financial backer. Several regional district directors picked up the refrain, but the investors themselves appeared to care little about the indiscretions of the developer, indicating they were more concerned bureaucracy would waylay the jobs and tourism dollars the development heralds. One investor even indicated he has chartered a plane to bring scads of tour operators and journalists from China to see the project this fall. Michael Boccio, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, said he is personally invested in the project and could see nothing wrong with the developer’s approach. He noted the regional district should be thanking him for flipping the usual developer-local government relationship on its head. In this case, the developer is providing amenities upfront, without negotiation, rather than withholding them in exchange for variances or a relaxation of zoning guidelines, he said. Controversial from the get-go, the Kelowna Mountain development is the brainchild of developer Mark Consiglio, whose
professional history includes several legal battles with investors. Environmental advocates are already questioning many aspects of this project, pointing to the year-round snowboarding facilities which would need water supplies as yet unprotected by provincial or regional governments—and water requirements of the vineyard and golf course as areas of concern. But several other groups have also indicated they are not pleased with the new OCP document as presented by HB Lanarc-Golder, which drafted the OCP document and did the public consultation. Even the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nelson, as represented by Kelowna lawyer Tom Smithwick Monday evening, registered its opposition, noting its Seton House retreat and gravel pit above Kettle Valley have development potential the OCP severely curtails. Residents of June Springs Road indicated they too were unhappy with the limitations on subdividing and development the OCP proposes, while one farmer from the end of Lakeshore thanked the directors for taking the time to put the plan in place. She said she wanted to see development controlled in the area. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Visitors to the Kelowna International Airport will soon be able to hit the spot before and after passing through the security gate. Skyway Ventures, in partnership with the airport, is converting the existing Skyway Atrium Lounge in the terminal to a White Spot restaurant. “Friends and families dropping off passengers, area residents and passengers themselves are looking for more food options at the airport,” said airport director Sam Samaddar. “We are pleased we will soon be able to offer more services before heading through security with the additional full-service White Spot Restaurant.” Renovations on the new restaurant started last Monday, with a planned opening date of June 1. During construction, the lounge will be closed. But food and beverage services will continue to be available at Tim Hortons, located across from the Air Canada check-in desk, and at existing White Spot Restaurant and the Skyway Caf and Wine Bar, located after security in the departures area. Once the conversion is completed, food services at YLW before security clearance will include Tim Hortons (open from 4:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.) and a full-service White Spot Restaurant complete with take-out service (open from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., effective June 1). In the departures area after security, White Spot and the Skyway Caf and Wine Bar are both open between 5 a.m. and 8 p.m.

The construction is really coming along and it looks great. New owners Bob Buvyer and Dennis Bigham have a great vi-
sion for the property, with all the condo units now being completed for rental housing only. The 16acre property, which will eventually house both condos and townhomes when built out, are now made up of eight floors of condos that are currently being finished. The units range from 1,200 to 1,400 square feet of living space, including a couple of loft suites as well with a total of 108 units. All suites are beautifully finished with granite countertops, fireplaces, decks, good quality appliances, and a small selfcontained suite (bedroom and bathroom only that can be locked off) with each unit, which would be ideal for a care giver or nanny. Exceptionally wide, bright hallways are featured on every floor.
A few of the suites have large decks, with many of the units having unbelievable views of the lake and Kelowna Golf and Country Club. Amenities include a huge green roof on the main floor, storage units, security cameras, lots of parking, outdoor pool and fitness room. If you are looking for a rental unit, call 778-484-5847 or drop into the office on the main floor entrance off Glenmore Drive.

Zaleski another step closer to CFL dream Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For a shot at pro football, Jerod Zaleski was more than willing to put the start of his career in education on hold. Instead of preparing for his teaching practicum this year, the 22-yearold from Kelowna will be bidding for a full-time gig with the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes. Zaleski, who signed a two-year contract— plus an option—with the Als last week, will head to Montreal at end of this month for the club’s rookie camp. If all goes according to plan, the amiable Zaleski will be on the roster for the Alouettes’ first exhibition game June 14 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “I still get a bit giddy when I think about it, but I know I have to keep it all in perspective and stay grounded,” Zaleski said. “I still have to go down there and make the team, I know nothing’s going to be given to me. I’m excited to give it my best shot and see what happens.” The 6-foot-5, 240-pound KSS grad first caught the attention of CFL teams this spring in Toronto at the National Invitational Combine, a camp held annually for draft-eligible prospects. Then earlier this month, Montreal made Zaleski one of their final choices in the CFL draft. In particular, the Alouettes liked Zaleski’s skills as a long snapper, a crucial position on every football team. Montreal was also attracted by his
versatility, his ability to fill a number of roles across the football field, including special teams, inside receiver, and tight end, all positions he played during his university career at Simon Fraser. And with every CFL team required to carry a minimum of 20 Canadians on their roster, Zaleski’s nationality shouldn’t hurt his cause either. “He’s a big kid who can play special teams, he’s athletic, he can run and jump, and he’s a willing blocker,” said Joey Abrams, the assistant director of football operations and a scout for the Alouettes. “The fact that he long snaps is big, it’s an extremely critical position. You don’t know how much until you lose one of those players. “He has all of that
going for him, talent and size, he’s a Canadian and he long snaps,” added Abrams. “Now we’ll find out if he can bring all it at this level. Just like any player who comes to camp, he’ll be given a chance. The rest is up to him.” That Zaleski is this close embarking on a pro career seemed anything but certain a year ago. After four seasons at SFU, the ups-and-downs of university ball and the physical punishment had both taken their toll, and Zaleski had lost much of his passion for the game. But at the urging of his girlfriend, he decided to return to the gridiron one more time in 2011 as a member of the B.C. Football Conference’s Langley Rams. It turned out to be just
the football elixir Zaleski needed. “My love for the game was rekindled in Langley,” Zaleski said. “Their coach, Jeff Alamahoda, told me I had the skills and the body to play the game and he really helped me enjoy and appreciate the game again. He’s a big reason I’m following this dream now.” Making it in the CFL was an ambition that first surfaced for Zaleski a decade ago on the Mission sports fields when he was playing junior bantam football in Kelowna’s minor system. “It was definitely a dream of mine when I was a kid, a friend of mine and I talked about how cool it would be to play in the CFL someday. It’s just like when you’re a kid playing ball hockey, you

dream about playing in the NHL…this is my version of that. Now, I’m almost there. I just have to take one more step.” Based on his bloodlines, there’s no mystery where Jerod’s athletic prowess comes from—his older brother Jon is a former captain of the UBC Okanagan men’s basketball team and world Tae Kwon Do gold medalist, while his dad, Dan, is a Tae Kwon Do master and runs a martial arts school in Kelowna.
Zaleski has also become a bit of groundbreaker for KSS football, the first graduate (2007) from the Owls’ program to sign a pro contract since football returned to the school nine years ago. Owls assistant coach Alex Blanchard isn’t the least bit surprised Zaleski’s talent, drive and persistence have resulted in a bona fide shot at a pro career. “He’s had that goal and the dream, and he’s found a specialized area
that gives him a great opportunity,” said Blanchard. “I think his experience at university helped him a lot, he ran into some roadblocks there, and it was tough. He was used to being the best at everything until he got there. But Jerod worked through it all, and this is his reward.” Zaleski leaves for Montreal May 29 to take part in the CFL team’s rookie camp. The Alouettes main camp begins June 3.

▼ PLAYER PROFILE
Soccer is a natural fit for Challenge goalkeeper Hasick Each week during the Pacific Coast Soccer League season Capital News freelance reporter Drew Pihlainen will profile a member of the 2012 Okanagan Challenge. Today we take a look at goalkeeper Colin Hasick. Q: Why did you get into soccer? A: I started at a really young age. When I was 4 or 5 I played almost every sport—soccer, basketball, volleyball, everything except hockey, which is pretty surprising. I stuck with soccer the longest, enjoyed it the most, and excelled at that more than the other ones. It just seemed like the natural fit.
Colin Hasick Position: Goalkeeper Hometown: Kelowna University team: University of Calgary Age: 19
Spotlight Q: What drew you to being a goalkeeper? It can be kind of a lonely position... A: Maybe I’m a little crazy up in the head. I played goalkeeper in soccer, I used to play goalie whenever I played road hockey with my friends— every sport I played goalkeeper. Not sure what called me to that position but I’ve been playing that my whole life and definitely
enjoy it the most. Q: Do you have any goalkeeping heroes? A: There’s not really one particular guy. I do follow a lot of the English league, the Spanish league, and international soccer. It’s just moreso looking at whoever has a good game, seeing what they do. I like to watch good saves. Q: So, what do you do when your teammates
are running up the field, and you’re alone back there? What’s going through your mind? A: I just move up a bit, sit back and watch, and hopefully they can get me a bit of goal support. Q: And when they score, do you have your own personal celebration? A: Usually if it was a
nice goal I’ll just yell something at the guy who scored. But no, I’m not jumping around, fist pumping or anything, I usually stay pretty calm. Q: How do you feel about this season compared to last? A: I’m looking for-

ward to this one. I like how it’s come together with UBC Okanagan, it gets a lot of structure and Dante’s a great coach, so I’m excited. Q: What was a personal highlight of last season? A: Definitely win-
ning the league was a big thing. And on a personal level, my first game of the season we shut out Kamloops, I made a couple good saves, so it was definitely nice to start off the year that way. Q: What do you do when you’re not playing soccer? A: I play a lot of golf, actually, and I work out at the Okanagan Golf Club. I used to play competitively before I went to school for soccer. I just play a bunch of golf, hang out with friends, your typical summer, I enjoy not going to school.

Kelowna high school athletes qualify for B.C. track champs letes Keely Watts-Watling, Ayden Ledding, Daniel MacKinnon and Rostam Turner also qualified for provincials with their results in the various events. Another standout performance was put in by Nic Walter, a Grade 10 student from Mount Boucherie who finished first in senior long jump, 2nd in the senior 200 metre race and third in the senior 100 metre sprint. Due to the conditions the turnout of athletes was lower than past years and winds made times in the sprint events slower than usual. Still local athletes were able to put in some excellent performances. Here are some other highlights: • Mykala Moore of RSS was first in the junior girls 100 metre dash, followed by Kennedy Kneller of Springvalley in second and Jordan Gaudet of Aberdeen Hall in third. Aberdeen’s Reece
Walsh was first in the junior boys 100 metre race. In the Grade 8 100 metre race, Emma Morel of Aberdeen was third.

OKM’s Saskia Kowallik and RSS’s Katie Maryschuk finished onetwo in the senior girls 400 metres. Ayden Ledding and MacKinnon were one-two in the senior boys 400 metres. • In the 800 metre events, Kowallik was first in the senior girls race while Veronika Fagan of CNB won the junior girls
event and Adam Murray of OKM won the boys race. Davis Hughes-Geekie was first in the Grade 8 800 metre race. • OKM’s Murray also won gold in the junior boys 1,500 metre race while Dr. Knox’s Shola Fashanu was first in the girls race. In the 3,000 metres Springvalley’s Cassie Laturnus was first followed by Fagan in second in the junior girls race. In junior boys it was Sean Bergman of Dr. Knox crossing the line in first place. • Tomas Lammers of Mount Boucherie won a gold medal in the boys 1,500 metre race walk. • Several medals were won in the hurdles events with Erin Kokayko winning the senior girls 100 metre hurdles and Tanner Thiessen winning gold in the junior boys 100 metre hurdles. Aberdeen’s Emma Morel was first in the Grade 8 girls 80 metre hurdles while Marie-Jose
Turner of KLO was second in junior girls hurdles. • Kelowna athletes did well in the steeplechase events as Cassie Laturnus and Shola Fashanu placed one-two in the junior girls event.

Coyotes go winless at CCBCC
Call it bad timing for the Okanagan College rCoyotes baseball team. The Coyotes offense dried up as the team failed to win a game during the 2012 Canadian Colleges Baseball Conference Championship tourrnament last weekend in Kamloops. The Coyotes scored just five runs in four games and failed to make the CCBC playoffs for the first time in three seasons. It could have been a different story for OC
r
r
had they won the tournament’s opening game against rival Thompson Rivers University. Despite loading the bases twice against CCBC top pitcher Denver Winn, the Coyotes couldn’t break through and eventually lost the game 3-1. OC pitcher Zach Burlon, who was later voted to the 2nd all-conference team, pitched well but didn’t receive enough run support. Things didn’t get any better for OC as they
dropped their next three games: 8-2 to Vancouver Island, 12-2 to the Prairie Baseball Academy and 5-0 to the U of Calgary. The Calgary Dinos, a bottom feeder all season, suddenly put it all together winning three of four round robin games and ultimately losing the semi final game to VIBI, who lost to PBA in the final. “This was obviously a disappointing showing however in tournament play these things can happen,” said OC manager
Bill Bayne. “The Coyotes will now have their work cut out starting next fall to erase this memory.” OC shortstop Brian Elias was also recognized for his great glove work as Elias was named a second team all conference shortstop. This weekend the Coyotes will host its annual Norm Caig Invitational tournament in Kelowna. Look for a preview of the event in Friday’s Capital News.

Pilates can help you reconnect with your body Two Capital News reporters end their introduction to the world of Pilates courtesy of NEUmovement Pilates & Physiotherapy in Glenmore with a better understanding about their aches and pains
G
enerally speaking, proselytizing on any subject makes me plug my nose in disdain. When I was a smoker, the way former tobacco junkies would inundate me with chatter about their new way forward would make me want to poke out an eyeball and inhale nicotine through a socket. Memories of those infuriating encounters inspired me to keep my mouth shut on the topic two years after quitting, regardless of the fact that my newfound ability to breathe easy is actually a bit exciting. Strangely, I’ve not found similar silence when it comes to Pilates, which I started a mere five weeks ago courtesy of an invite from NeuMovement Physiotherapy and Pilates. Case in point, one of my poor co-workers was yakking about some malady the other day, and I decided I had the cure. “You should try Pilates,” I told him matter of factly. Then I launched into the many reasons why I thought it was the best op-
tion for all out of shape, aching people who are reluctant to get on a treadmill. What I told him, as his eyes rolled with what could only be enthusiasm for the topic, is that I’ve realized my fall from being in shape isn’t necessarily because I am an old, lazy sod. I’d just picked up more baggage than I realized and I didn’t have the skills to lift it. Physiotherapist Jen Gulley and all the skilled instructors at the studio, however, have given me a few building blocks to start carrying myself in a healthier fashion. At the heart of this entire experience is Gulley, for a couple reasons. She’s the type of person who doesn’t make you feel awkward, even when your wobbly bits are hanging out and she’s making painful adjustments. She also has an immense knowledge base about the body. Through a couple of sessions, she taught me it’s little more than a chain of connections, and when a few of my 206 bones glided out of place it all went awry.
Awry, however, didn’t make it a lost cause. The simplicity of that realization offered all the incentive I needed to do the strength building exercises she sent home with me. She also co-ordinated with Pilates instructors who have offered detailed workouts that have helped me reconnect with my previously sleeping musculature. Each of my muscles has reintroduced themselves to me courtesy springs, with straps for hands and feet, hung from poles on the reformer— the contraption I previously referred to as a medieval torture machine. The springs provide mounting resistance when stretched during exercise, and the continued movement prompted by instructors engages muscles and joints, while keeping them flexible. Key to the whole experience is also breathing and activating your core—aka, all the muscles in your torso. The two combined offer an inner workout, that’s surprisingly effective. Ultimately, all these elements together sparked
She said Kathy Michaels a taste for more. Not because Pilates is an “it” workout, but because it’s a positive experience. Also, from reading a bit about Joseph Pilates, the founder, I’ve learned it’s not until after the first 10 sessions you could begin to see bodily changes, at 20 sessions you would become more aware and at 30 sessions, everything changes. That 30-lesson marker is the brass ring, and I’m willing to make the investment in my own health. Just don’t mention any aches and pains if you see me, because I may try to mount a pulpit and spread the word of Joseph Pilates.

She said Jennifer Smith
I
must admit, there’s something about dance music that’s embarrassingly appealing and, frankly, if a quick jaunt in the car when no one is listening is the only time you can get your freak on, then it seems to me something is wrong. As a feminist type who publicly despises candy pop, yet thrills at a good Nick Minaj and Katy Perry spin class, I still can’t help but detest any environment that combines fist-pumping beats and a barking drill sergeant bent on pointing out my flaws. I mean, really, who pays for this stuff? If you want a good dose of critical self-awareness, all you need is a job, not a $100- to $200-a-month workout habit. I’ve seen the boot camp results and they are, without a doubt, impressive. Ask me a year from now how I’m staying in shape and the answer may very well be some beach camp-Crossfit-Zumbafrisbee fitness craze—or hours of weighted hula
hooping like my friends on the coast. But this spring, as I tried to get my head around something other than simply running off excess stress and calories, I have to admit the peace Pilates left me with was welcome. And this could be very important to know about one day. Part of what we discovered at NEUmovement Pilates and Physiotherapy was that isolating and rebuilding damaged areas of your body takes time. It can be a little frustrating to watch your leg send shivers up the resistance cables as the grandmother beside you nails the same exercise; but if you are in chronic pain, as many of their clients are, this seems like a pretty safe, effective and far less jarring exercise option to explore. Walking into a peaceful, supportive studio is a lot easier than staring down a gym full of athletic, finely-tune bodies. After you’ve worked with the physiotherapist and figured out what you need to fix, spending time in the pilates studio, being quietly guided through postures that work your muscles but don’t push you to the brink of distraction or more pain, makes
the Popeye gyms and bathing suit goals of other workouts feel warped. Pilates is a time commitment and financially, I must admit, there is a good deal about this option that just doesn’t suit many people within my demographic’s needs, including me. As a workout, though, and as a means to retrain, rebuild and rejuvenate your body, working on the Pilates machines, in conjunction with the physiotherapist, is a pretty solid approach. And I hear, at some point, it makes you pretty solid as well. (Oh jelly belly, what will it take to tame you?) For now, I believe I’ll be back on the roads and trails cranking out a few more runs, lifting weights at the gym and scrolling YouTube for free videos. But I’m ever so grateful for the helpful tips on stabilizing my core I picked up in this challenge. If exercise is a major part of your life, then learning more about your body is critical to my way of thinking, and Pilates is a fantastic way to really get to know each muscle group and what you need to do to maintain it. jsmith @kelownacapnews.com

HOME & GARDEN ▼ BLOOMING DOGWOODS
TV phones bring Mixed success for B.C. emblem in Okanagan caller into your W living room hile the magnolias were spectacular this spring, they have been outdone by the dogwoods this year. The Dogwood was adopted as British Columbia’s official flower in 1956, winning out over the columbine. There are several species and many varieties of dogwoods that will do well in many parts of British Columbia. However, it is the native Cornus nuttalli that is our actual floral emblem. This is a tree that thrives in the coastal rain forest and grows six to eight metres high. But

Don Burnett here in the Okanagan, it does not do well. In 1966, a wellknown nursery on the coast called H.M. Eddie & Sons released a variety named ‘Eddies White Wonder,’ a cross between the native species and Cornus florida. The Cornus nuttalli provided the white flowers and the Cornus

florida influenced the hardiness and unbelievable fall foliage. Today, you can see a beautiful specimen in full regalia in front of the Trinity Baptist Church at Springfield and Spall in Kelowna. There is another native dogwood most are not aware of called the Cornus canadensis. The reason for its obscurity is it is neither a tree nor a bush, rather a creeping ground cover that thrives in shade—but the leaves and flowers are distinctly dogwood. One of the most popular dogwood species used in Okanagan landscapes is Cornus florida, which comes in several shades of pink to almost red as well as pure white. It can be relied upon to be in full bloom on Mother’s Day each spring and makes for a spectacular show on its own or combined with lilacs.
To see one of the best in bloom, drive east on Rowcliffe Avenue from Richter in Kelowna. When you come to Ethel Street it will be right in front of you. This is the variety ‘Cherokee Chief’ and the reason I know this is it came from my family’s nursery on Ethel Street in the 1970s. One of the great things about dogwoods is most years the blooming season is prolonged. This year it seems they are blooming forever! When the Cornus florida dogwoods loose their bloom, however, the show is far from over because soon we will get a fantastic show from the Cornus kousa, commonly known as the Korean dogwood. Sometimes it is called the Japanese dogwood and sometime the Chinese dogwood. Its blossoms come after the leaves have

emerged therefore it is blooming in late May and into June. My favourite Cornus kousa is a variety called ‘Satomi,’ which is a pink colour. All the dogwoods I have mentioned are considered small trees and will fit in nicely with smaller properties. They have proven to be very reliable here in the Okanagan and spring would just not be the same without them. *** I must not forget to remind you of the Earth Wind Fire event to be held June 1 at the Delta Grand Okanagan. The funds raised by this fabulous event will go to the Nature Trust of British Columbia (www. naturetrust.bc.ca).

size. For example, a TV phone, like the one offered from a company called Biscotti, gives you a big, whole-room picture and takes calls while the TV is in use. Like a telephone, it is always on and can be programmed so that users never miss an incoming call. Rather than having to deal with computers, software, and webcams, chatting through the television often only requires a simple device that plugs in directly to an HDTV using an inexpensive HTMI cord. Most HDTVs are now built to serve these exact purposes—some even have Internet access integrated into the set. For those that don’t, experts tell us that a basic Wi-Fi connection should be enough to hook you in to your friends and relatives.
Choosing a garden theme
No matter what your personality, there are many simple ways to infuse your garden with unique style. Minimalist Approach—Go for clean lines and carefully composed arrangements of rocks, moss, pruned trees and bushes. Tall grasses and gravel, or sand pathways will also add to the Zen feel, along with a meditative water feature. To finish the look, add solar LED rock lights that add function while blending into the foliage. Colour, Colour, Colour—Set the mood and showcase your personality with plants in your favourite hues. Use two or three adjacent colours to create a harmonious effect (red and orange) or create contrast with unexpected combinations of three, like purple, green and orange. Eco-friendly—Native garden plants have adapted to their environment and offer greater resistance to diseases and pests than imported options— this means less care and water required.

ENTERTAINMENT For DJ Afrojack, life’s just one long weekend Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Plenty of partying and PlayStation may not sound like a recipe for success, but when Afrojack plays Kelowna’s waterfront this weekend he’ll make the case for both. Currently the seventh largest DJ in the world, with Paris Hilton as his girlfriend and a lifestyle that allows only the odd week at home, this 24-year-old clearly has the world by the reins. The concert is slated for the official start of summer in Canada, timed as it is for the beginning of the Victoria Day long weekend, and coincidentally the kickoff for Afrojack’s latest tour; although Afrojack said his life is all about following the sun and having fun at this point, making weekends kind of a moot point. “I basically live my life in really long weekends,” he said. “I don’t really have a specific start to the summer.” From the South of France to the beaches of Miami, Nick van de Wall, a.k.a. Afrojack, parties until the sun comes up.
FOOD & WINE TRAILS

He’s not into drugs and admits the extreme schedule can play havoc with his sense of time. Living life large has its advantages, though, and at sixfoot, nine-inches tall, having been featured on Pitbull’s hit single Give Me Everything and as an official contributor to Beyoncé’s Run the World, Afrojack seems to be taking the wild ride in stride. This might be what caught the eye of his present girlfriend. Whether Hilton makes the concert or not, it’s pretty sure she’s on hand when he finally gets a little time to himself and might even have witnessed him take a crack at his favourite pastime—PlayStation. There are four televisions in his house and the one in his bedroom is pretty well exclusively used for video games, he said. Van de Wall grew up in a family of rhythm and despite the computer addictions, says his current talents really started as he got hooked to breakdancing. His mother ran a dance studio and staged street performances and dance-offs, taking her son along for the ride as she
couldn’t afford to leave him with a babysitter. Now an international success, the young performer likes being able to give his family “a little breathing room” with the money he earns—extra vacations, a new car when it’s needed and so forth. Afrojack takes his family to his parties as the party really never ends in his world. When he’s not working, he’s surfing the Internet looking at the performances he’s missed and video from the ones he’s just returned from hosting. The party of the year, thus far, was Ultra Music Fest in Miami, to his way of thinking. But that’s not to say this weekend won’t change his mind. Afrojack plays Kelowna’s Waterfront Park on Friday, May 18. The show is being put on by Wet Ape Productions, the same group to bring in DJs Tiësto and Deadmau5, and the producers of the Centre of Gravity and Keloha Music Festival. Tickets for Afrojack can be purchased at www. ticketzone.com/AfrojackKelowna for $76.50. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

that will satisfy guests’ thirst for local wines and allow them to come away from each tour with a broader understanding of what makes the Okanagan a special place—its local cuisine. Matt and Shannon, who have both received sommelier training, are promising a unique touring experience different than their competitors. Their tours combine the food and wine aspects of our wine country by incorporating a “food-focused stop at either a farm or artisan food producer.” Both have strong food and beverage industry background and have worked in some of the valley’s best restaurants. Shannon graduated from a travel and tourism program, and Matt from food and beverage management. They met in a post-graduate hospitality program—sounds like a match made in heaven as does their new venture. The couple, who are obviously foodies and wine affectionados, are choosing their favourite wineries across the valley
to share with their guests. They will offer four different tours: The Kelowna Tour (which visits both sides of the lake), a Naramata Tour, a South Okanagan Tour and a Similkameen Tour. All tours include a picnic lunch using the highest quality local ingredients including some delicious products from Details Catering—Waterfront Wines chef Mark Filatow’s catering company. Other items will be sourced from local producers including Illichmann’s and other local growers/producers. Experience Wine Tours are promising enthusiastic, fun and knowledgeable tour guides and offer a beautiful, custom 11-passenger Mercedes Benz Sprinter van for maximum comfort. They will also offer fully customizable tours and will pick-up and drop of guests from their accommodation. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ MOVIE REVIEW
Depp can’t pull Dark Shadows out of the hat DARK SHADOWS
BEHIND THE SCREEN
A
few ‘wrinklies’ but mostly young folks in the half empty theatre for the late Saturday showing of Dark Shadows. Originally a TV series which ran from 1966 to 1971, Dark Shadows is a freaky soap opera in which the rich Collins family of Maine was beset by strange occurrences. In fact, three of the original TV cast, Lara Parker, Jonathan Frid and David Selby, had cameo appearances in the 2012 movie. So the story opens in 1970 Liverpool where the Collins family, along with son Barnabas, board a ship for the New World
Susan Steen to make their fortune in shipping and later in the fisheries industry. Of course it all goes horribly wrong when Angelique Bouchard (played by Eva Green of Casino Royale fame) falls for Barnabas (Johnny Depp) and the love is not reciprocated. Since Angelique is a very powerful witch, curses follow and the luckless Barnabas is turned into a vampire and locked in a coffin for 200 years.
Are you with me so far? And so, into the 21st century comes the old world Barnabas, newly broken out of his coffin prison and set to restore the Collins family name and fortune, which in the past 200 years has been all but destroyed. Barnabas hopes also to have some semblance of life, hindered only slightly by the fact that he is a blood sucking vampire. Mayhem, of course, ensues. What doesn’t follow is a good movie—short on laughs, short on good acting and short on entertainment, this is about as bad as it gets. The only thing it’s not short on is length—it goes way too
long and gets really boring mid-way through the show. Sure, Depp and Burton have quirky natures and it showed in some collaborations, but unlike Edward Scissorhands and Alice in Wonderland, Depp isn’t able to pull off the magic in Dark Shadows. Helena Bonham Carter is actually quite good as the oft-drunk Dr. Julia Hoffman, but even her efforts are not enough to pull this out of the toilet. Michelle Pfeiffer is definitely not in her element and the rest of the cast doesn’t shine either. It appears they hope that Depp will somehow pull it off once again, and he doesn’t. I suspect Dark Shad-
ows won’t last long in the theatres and I eagerly await Judy Dench in the upcoming Best Exotic Marigold Hotel which should be out next weekend. There were no best lines in this one—the closest I got was: “She’s as useful as a bucket with a hole in the bottom” spoken of an elderly maid. I give this two reels, only because there was a spate of interesting special affects.

Wishmaker Walk for Wishes in Kelowna
D
o you enjoy getting involved in your local community while working with other like-minded individuals to achieve a common goal? If the answer is yes, then Children’s Wish Foundation has a wonderful opportunity for you. On Saturday, Oct. 13, The BC & Yukon Chapter of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada will be hosting its 8th annual Wishmaker Walk for Wishes and would love to bring this magical event to your community. The foundation is seeking a group of dedicated volunteers to plan and execute a Wishmaker Walk for Wishes in Kelowna. This organizing committee will consist of five to eight members and will be managed by a Wishmaker Walk chairperson
or persons. Children’s Wish will support the organizing committee every step of the way and will provide all materials, supplies and information required to run a successful walk. The Wishmaker Walk for Wishes is a family-oriented, pledge-based walk that builds community spirit and unity while supporting The Children’s Wish Foundation. It has raised over $9 million nationwide since 2005 and will take place in more than 100 communities across Canada this October. Since its inception
in 1984, The Children’s Wish Foundation has granted over 18,000 heartfelt wishes to children aged three to 17 living with high-risk, life-threatening illnesses and can’t
wait to grant many more exceptional wishes with your help. In 2011, four unique Wishmaker Walks took place in B.C., at New Westminster, Victoria, Kelowna and Penticton, and together raised $26,000. The foundation has granted 30 heartfelt wishes to children residing in Kelowna. If you are interested in becoming involved with the Wishmaker Walk
for Wishes in Kelowna or simply would like to find out more information, please contact Alexandra Eady, chapter event coordinator at 604-2992241 ext. 222 or email her at alex.eady@childrenswish.ca.

ver the past few weeks, most movie companies did not want to go up against the juggernaut that is The Avengers, which earned another $100 million over the weekend, allowing it to break the billion dollar mark worldwide. Its only challenger last weekend, Dark Shadows, was a distant second at $30 million even with the star team of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton.

cast that includes Kelowna native Taylor Kitsch, Alexander SkarsgĂĽrd, Liam Neeson, pop star Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker. It has already been released in many international markets and has already grossed over $200 million. Before this weekend, Brooklyn Decker was best known for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue before making her movie debut in Adam Sandler’s Just Go with It last year. But this weekend, she not only stars in Battleship but also the ensemble comedy What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Based upon the book of the same name, it is the story of five Atlanta couples who “sufferâ€? the many joys of the childbirth process. The ensemble cast includes Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks, Anna Kendrick, Chris Rock, Dennis Quaid, Matthew Morrison and Chace Crawford. I am a sucker for zombie comedies so A Little Bit Zombie has my attention. It is the story of a mild-mannered HR manager who is infected by a virus and suddenly has an overwhelming desire for brains. However, he tries to control his cravings so as not to incur the wrath of his bridezilla fiancĂŠ. This low budget Canadian flick may not bring anything new to the genre but it may provide some cheesy fun and even the poster seems to pay homage to the camp classic Army of Darkness.

Petition calls Peachland set to walk for dog guides for care centre Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
After nine years collecting more than 14,500 signatures, John Burke decided it’s time to put ammunition in the hands of West Kelowna council. The president of the Okanagan Public Support Organization arrived at council chambers Tuesday to hand over a petition in favour of an urgent care facility in West Kelowna. “Use it to your advantage in obtaining an emergency centre here,” Burke told council. “We need it very much in this area.” Burke said that his activism has had to take the backseat while he addresses some health concerns. “I have to slow down. I’ve been too involved in too many different things; it’s time I step back a bit,” said Burke. “I feel that the petition will assist council in working toward the emergency centre that they’re trying to obtain.” Burke is encouraged by a recent announcement that the district is working to investigate options for the possible creation of a
Fundraiser helps with cost of training a service dog for the physically disabled.
Westside health facility, which may include a third party partnership. “I hope the partnership goes through, it will give us something here to hope for.” Mayor Doug Findlater was appreciative of Burke’s work. “Over the years, I remember seeing you sitting in parking lots with a table, signing people up for this,” Findlater said to Burke during Tuesday’s council meeting. “This is a council that won’t give up on this issue. We are very determined to pursue this… your petition may be very helpful.” Coun. Rick de Jong also told Burke that he wants to see West Kelowna get an emergency care facility. “I just want to assure you, from my personal stance, the need for a medical facility of some sort here on the Westside remains a top priority,” de Jong said. “I shall continue to do whatever I can to bring this to fruition.”

Man’s best friend can be more than just a loyal companion. For those like Wade Ireland, a service dog can help provide safety, security and peace of mind. When asked how important his hearing service dog, Cher, has been to him, Ireland said: “She’s made a huge difference in my security—I can go out the door safely and I don’t have to worry about walking in traffic.” The Purina Walk for Dog Guides will be held May 27 at Lambley Park in Peachland. The national fundraising event is held in over 250 communities across Canada and raises funds to help train dog guides for Canadians with visual, hearing, medical or physical disabilities. It is put on by volunteers and the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides: A charitable organization that tries to help Canadians with medical or physical disabilities by providing them with dog guides at no cost. Ireland is the chairman of this year’s event. He said that the money raised from the Purina Walk for Dog Guides can go a long way. “My dog is worth about $30,000 and all that funding came from walks across Canada.” According to Ireland, it costs anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000 to train a service dog. “The dogs go to people who make an application to their physician because of their disability, in order to enhance their lifestyle, security and safety. The dogs go to these people completely free of charge—there are no fees involved in any way, shape or form.” Ireland said that Peachland’s event helped local Lions clubs bring in over $60,000 last year to supply three dogs to individuals with disabilities. He added that the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides does not receive any government support; therefore, the organization relies on fundraisers such as this to help those in need.

Council reviews zoning bylaw for building sizing Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
JOHN BURKE spent nine years gathering over 14,500 signatures in support of getting an urgent care centre on the Westside. On Tuesday, he submitted his petition to West Kelowna council.
West Kelowna council is making key decisions to ensure its zoning bylaws meet the urban standard, established by the incorporation of West Kelowna. The bylaw of focus, which includes regulations with regard to permitted uses, density and the siting and sizing of
buildings, is being reviewed to ensure it reflects an urban standard for West Kelowna and is consistent with the recently adopted Official Community Plan and several other master plans. First, council unanimously decided to rezone Westbank Centre as per the land use considerations identified in the Westbank Centre Revitalization Plan.
“I think we need to get on with all of the pieces related to revitalizing Westbank centre. This is a step in the right direction,” said Findlater. Council decided to defer the consideration of rezoning Gellatly Bay until it receives the outcome of the forthcoming waterfront design guidelines, which are anticipated to be completed by October. All West Kelowna

WESTSIDE ▼ ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
Columnist calling for change in attitude of drivers A single vehicle “accident” north of Vernon last Friday night highlights the risks of drowsy driving. It occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. An RCMP officer monitoring traffic speed watched it happen. A Toyota pickup truck failed to follow a curve in the highway, crossed the centre line and the oncoming lane of traffic, passed by the parked RCMP cruiser, went up an embankment, and then rolled over. It could have been so much worse, but Lady Luck stepped in. The Toyota could have smashed into the RCMP officer’s parked cruiser or there could have been a head-on crash. I referred to the incident as an “accident” on purpose, so that I could emphasize the inapplicability of the word. Dictionary definitions of “accident” include words such as “unintentional” and “unexpected.” To the contrary, the conduct of driving drowsy was entirely intentional and falling asleep was a totally predictable result
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott of that conduct. I am thankful that we are not facing yet another Okanagan funeral arising from yet another entirely preventable vehicle crash—at least not so far this week. Are crashes arising from drowsy driving really entirely preventable? Of course they are. If all drivers made the choice to pull over and stop when we start feeling drowsy instead of playing Russian Roulette with ourselves and other motorists, no one would ever fall asleep at the wheel. For those who don’t know, Russian Roulette is that “game” where you put one bullet into a revolver, spin the chamber so you don’t know where the bullet is, put the gun to someone’s head and pull the trigger. Am I being overly
dramatic? I don’t think so. Unfortunately, this driver’s dangerous conduct was not unique. A recent study found that two out of every five drivers admit to having fallen asleep at the wheel at some point, with one in 10 saying they’ve done so in the past year. More than 25 per cent of those surveyed admitted to having driven despite being so tired that they had difficulty keeping their eyes open during the previous month. The Toyota driver isn’t the problem. He’s a symptom of a horrendous lack of care in our driving culture. I expect that almost everyone reading this has pushed their drowsy driving to a dangerous point. I admit that I have. Driving drowsy is just one of many crash-causing driving behaviours that could be eliminated if we could somehow change our society’s attitudes about driving; if we could simply convince everyone to give driving the care that it deserves. I am a believer in mass marketing. A classic example of the effective-
ness of mass marketing is, on the one hand, cigarette companies convincing generations of smokers to pick up the habit and, on the other hand, government propaganda causing most of us to now view smoking as disgusting. We have seen some success from campaigns to increase seat belt and headlight use, and campaigns to reduce impaired driving. I believe that changing driver attitudes is the key to reducing crashes. Sure, we can throw money at safer roads and intersections, and on more effective traffic enforcement, but all of that would be unnecessary if we “simply” changed our driving attitudes. In my view, it is those dangerous attitudes we should be throwing money at changing. Let’s push government to conceive of and fund effective marketing campaigns. Meantime, each of us can do our part. We can start by looking in the mirror and committing to stop making dangerous driving choices. We can then look

Council irons out details of zoning bylaw Building from B5 coverage, I don’t think we need to go further and over-regulate the development industry,” said Coun. Rick de Jong. Finally, council opt-
ed to postpone a decision on farm regulations until it could be reviewed by the Agricultural Advisory Committee to ensure farmland is used for farming, not estates. Staff will move for-
ward with the bylaw review and incorporate feedback received from council. The next zones to be reviewed include the commercial, industrial and parks and institutional zones.
It is anticipated that the draft bylaw will be ready for initial public review in either July or August. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

RUTLAND MAY DAYS
Great value for your entertainment toonie
May Days is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Rutland Park Society. But for the toonie gate admission, it also offers one of the best family entertainment bargains for a single event in the city. And kids under the age of 13 will continue this year to be admitted for free. Here is a basic breakdown of what people shall have the opportunity to enjoy for their toonie gate admission. West Coast Amusements rides will be operating at Centennial Park again this year, there will be entertainment from Thursday through Sunday on the Main Stage, Big West wrestling matches Friday through Sunday and the Intercultural Showcase on the weekend in the community hall. And the parade returns again with some 40 entries starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning. A schedule of events is listed on pages C6 and 7 in this year’s May Days supplement.
A BIG crowd always lines the sidewalks along Rutland Road for the annual May Days Parade.
May Days volunteer gatekeepers still needed
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
May Days parade tradition returns again A May Days tradition returns again this year— the annual parade takes place on Saturday, May 19, 10:30 a.m., proceeding along Rutland Road North. Gilles Chatelaine is
back as well for his fourth turn at the helm as the parade marshall. He says the 2012 parade is expected to be slightly smaller than previous years with about 40 entries. But given the welcom-
ing nature of the event for entries on parade day, Chatelaine adds: “You can never be quite sure who is going to come out at the last minute.” The May Days Parade will go forward rain
or shine. This year Chatelaine is expecting enough volunteers to be on hand to help remind the crowd to stay on the sidewalks. The parade will follow the traditional route along
the north end of Rutland Road starting from the Kelowna Y on Hartman Road. Typically, most people who attend the parade tend to drift over to the May Days fairgrounds in Centennial Park.
Gatekeepers at the entrance to Rutland Centennial Park have perhaps the most challenging job of May Days. Some people have objected vehemently in the past to paying the May Days entry fee, $2 for adults and kids over the age of 12, not realizing that May Days is a major fundraiser for the Rutland Park Society, a community group that operates and maintains Centennial Park and the community hall. The society is still in need of volunteer gatekeepers to collect the May Days entry fee this year. If you would like to help out, email rutlandpark@live. ca or call Keith Andrews at 250-448-6709.

But it has been revived again this year by the Kelowna Kiwanis Summit Club for Saturday, May 19, from 7 to 11 a.m. Breakfast will be three pancakes with two sausage patties and a drink for $5. Drinks—coffee, juice and water—will also be available on their own at $1 each. The breakfast will be a joint fundraiser between the Kelowna Kiwanis Summit Club and the Rutland Park Society. The Vancouver Travelling Band will also perform during the breakfast before heading off to join the May Days Parade.

RUTLAND MAY DAYS ▼ INTERCULTURAL SHOWCASE
Unique event for Kelowna shines spotlight on city’s cultural diversity Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR
For something new, different and refreshing at May Days this year, head to Centennial Hall on Saturday and Sunday. There you will find community members from across Kelowna sharing some of their favourite elements of their ancestral cultures. Whether you are searching out a cup of tea (from Japan or Britain) or hoping to see a performance on the stage, Centennial Hall and the InterCultural Showcase is the place to go. “This is something new, something that has not been done before in Kelowna,” said Joyce Brinkerhoff, with Intercultural Society of the Central Okanagan. The society has reached out through their broad base of members
‘‘
THIS IS SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE IN KELOWNA. Joyce Brinkeroff Central Okanagan Intercultural Society
and engaged various ethnic communities to share and take part in the twoday exhibition. The main stage of Centennial Hall will have a live 30-minute performance every hour. The presentations will be cross-cultural and feature a number of different performers. For example, Judy Gardner will have her First Nations themed pup-
pet show, where she tells the stories and legends of First Nations. “This is to encourage people to gain and understanding and appreciation of their fellow Canadians,” explained Brinkerhoff. Centennial Hall will be filled with information booths representing local cultural groups. Exhibitors will be displaying historical and interactive ideas, information and in some cases food delicacies of their culture. The local Asian heritage will also be front and centre, especially given that May is Asian Heritage month in Canada. You can expect to meet Kelowna residents who are of Filippino, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Indo-Canadian descent. Some of the exhibitors will be bringing their traditional dress and costume for the public to try on and
have their picture taken, much like the ‘Wild West’ photos at Klondike Days. Other booths will offer the chance to have your name written in beautiful Chinese characters. There will be a small fee or donation for some of the activities, as many of the groups are fundraising for projects both at home and around the world. The tea sales will also be a fundraiser. “This is a way for member clubs to raise some funds, including disaster relief for a recent typhoon,” explained Brinkerhoff. May Days is the perfect venue for the community to come and experience the varied history and heritage of Kelowna residents, she noted, calling it a chance to shift the conversation between ourselves. “We are bringing culture into the mainstream,” she said.

RUTLAND MAY DAYS ▼ WRESTLING
Big West circuit brings fight card to May Days Pro wrestling originally became a part of May Days in 2009 with the Surrey-based All-Star Wrestling matinee show and returned the following year. In 2011, the Enderby-based Thrash Wrestling performed an outdoor Saturday matinee. Now in 2012, under the direction of “Mad Dog” Marty Sugar, the Kelowna-based Big West Wrestling circuit will put on eight shows over the May Days weekend. For the $2 gate admission to May Days, the public will get to see some of the best in Big West Wrestling. It all kicks off on Friday, May 18, 6 p.m., with a special two-hour “Super Show” featuring a title match between KC Andrews and Collin “Canadian Classic” Cutler. Also featured will be the fourth annual Rutland Rumble, an over-the-top Battle Royale similar to the “Royal Rumble” match made so popular by World Wrestling Entertainment. The first three winners were all cur-
rent Kelowna residents: Marty Sugar (2008), Kyle Sebastian (2009) and Collin Cutler (2010). Among the Rutland Rumble participants this year will be Mark Posey (2011 Edmonton Sports Commission “Wrestler Of The Year” award winner), Tony Baroni and Artemis Spencer (both former NWA Canadian champions), Ravenous Randy (one of the final graduates of the famed Hart Family Dungeon), and Penticton’s KC Andrews. Also watch for the masked bully, The Texecutioner, and Alberta’s beloved “Tattooed Terminator,” Massive Damage. The Big West wresling ring will be set up outside the Rutland Centennial Hall, near the May Days main entrance. The matches will also tape the matches for later broadcast, as Big West has secured a deal with VCTV out of Valemount and worldwide via YouTube). So be sure to bring signs and scream your faces off for some amazing familyfriendly professional wrestling action.

A Man Named Sue, 8 to 9 p.m. Stephen Dreger takes on the persona of a “Man Named Sue” and performs the timeless songs of Johnny Cash. He pays musical tribute to the ‘Man in Black’s’ entire career.

With instantly catchy tunes and a buttery smooth voice, he is captivating to watch. Taking into consideration he is 100 per cent self taught on his instruments and about the Canadian music scene, Oig has left a trail of success as he forges ahead towards his goals as a young musician. Oig comes from Kamloops When he was about 17, he realized that music was his one, true passion in life. Now every day he strives to make his dreams reality.
CONTRIBUTED
DAN OIG from Kamloops is a self taught musician gan performance troupe specializing in fire and glow arts, as well as theatrical character entertainment such as stilt walkers. The group is composed of eight performers, all bringing their own unique styles and skills to the collective, embracing the idea of unity through diversity.

SATURDAY, MAY 19 The Vancouver Travel Band, 1 to 2 p.m. The Vancouver Travel Band consists of 20 musicians who love to travel on the road together and perform live gigs.

Michael Musclow, 2 to 3 p.m. Michael Musclow’s complex and often misunderstood relationship with music began on his 12th birthday when he received his first guitar.

One year after graduation from high school, that vision was translated into his debut album, Rotted Nebula released n November 2004. Seven years, six albums, countless public performances and three B.C. Indie Music Award Nominations later since that fateful November in 2004, he shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. Leah West, 3 to 4 p.m. Leah West was the winner of the 2011 BCIMA “People’s Choice Award” and she was also nominated for three other awards.

RUTLAND MAY DAYS
Direct Market Alley catching on Vendors have slowly become a greater integral part of May Days. In 2009, a special area was created for home-based direct marketers with a cap set at 14 exhibitors. Set up inside the Centennial Hall, only five spots were booked. In 2010, the market was moved outdoors into the park lacrosse box, with a draw of eight participants. Last year, the Direct Market space was moved to the main entrance walk-
way May Days, and there were 10 stalls occupied. This year, once again the Direct Market Alley will be part of the main walkway, with the 14 available stalls all reserved by Arbonne, ProArgi-9, The Glass Nail file, Scentsy Wickless Candles, Stampin Up, Skincerity, Norwex Enviro Products, Fifth Avenue Collection, Head 2 Toe Products, Tupperware, LaurieAnnes’ Fine Linens, Organo Gold Coffee, Massaging Insoles and It Works .
Always fun on the midway West Coast Amusements returns to May Days again this year with a host of fun rides and carnival games.
