Boating death mars weekend STAFF REPORTER
A long weekend fishing trip ended in tragedy, when a 43-year-old Lower Mainland man died after his fishing boat capsized on Headwaters Lake. He was among a group of three who were fishing the lake, approximately 30 kilometres west of Peachland, on May 18. When the trio decided to stand up just after 5 p.m., the boat capsized and threw them all into the cold water, said Cpl. Barbara Holley of the West Kelowna RCMP “There were life jackets in the boat at the time, but the occupants were not wearing them,” said Holley. “Two males swam to shore and the third male failed to reach shore.” It’s unclear what caused the Lower Mainland man to drown, but the matter is still under investigation by the Coroner Service of BC. It’s the second drowning on a Central Okanagan lake this year. According to Vital Statistics, there are at least 60 deaths each year in B.C. due to drowning, watertransport related incidents and submersions. The bulk of those incidents occur after the May long weekend, the unofficial start of boating season on Canadian coast-

lines and lakes. It’s a situation that keeps police and water transportation officers on their toes. “Accidents can happen very quickly,” said Chris Marrie, boating safety officer with Transport Canada, when he was in Kelowna last year to speak about boater safety in the lead up to the May long weekend.

ZOMBIE WALK…People made up to look like zombies lurched their way to the Sails downtown Saturday, gathering for the annual Kelowna Zombie Crawl Day of the Undead. Locals, who applied plenty of make-up to look the part, gather every year for the fun mid-spring stroll.

“This time of year the water’s very cold and if anybody finds themselves in the water, they have very little leeway to get back into the boat, unless they’re actually wearing a PFD” personal floatation device. He says that alcohol accounts for “at least 40 to 50 per cent” of boating fatalities and urged caution with alcohol, noting that the sun and movement of the boat can heighten the effects of liquor.

Seniors dubbed ‘problem crowd’ for life jacket use Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Few would argue that wisdom comes with age; however, when it comes to water safety, it doesn’t seem to be the case. Members of the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron, Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary and Kelowna Yacht Club were at the yacht club docks Saturday, trying to promote the importance of wearing
a personal flotation device (PFD). “We’re making people aware that life jackets save lives,” said Marguerite Berry, Canadian Power and Sail Squadron commander for Kelowna. The We Wear It initiative is part of Safe Boating Awareness Week, which runs from May 26 to June 1. Berry said that they were trying to spread the awareness to all ages, es-
pecially seniors. “The 55-plus crowd is the problem crowd because (some use PFDs) on their boats as seat cushions or rest with them as a pillow.” Younger generations have had better education on the importance of lifejackets; therefore, they’re more likely to use them, said Berry. “Same thing in our cars—(the older) generation rolled around in the
front and back seat. When they had children, they all came home in car seats, buckled up. “Now we are making sure everybody is buckled up…we hope the same safety awareness is going to happen on the boat.” Berry admitted that there are still younger boaters who are more concerned about style than safety. As a solution, the We Wear It promotion
showed off a few models of life jackets that might be deemed “cooler” than standard orange and yellow PFDs. Mustang Inflatable PFDs are a non-bulky option that contain a CO2 cartridge. When in danger of drowning, the user can pull a cord, which automatically inflates the life jacket to keep the user’s head above water.

Berry said Saturday’s message was being spread to all boaters, not just those who use motorized vessels. “Statistics tell us that fatalities are up 56 per cent in paddle boats. All pad-
dle board and canoeing incidents have been greatly increased with fatalities because people are not wearing a life jacket.” Those who were caught wearing a life jacket were offered a free hot dog Saturday.

The man who brutally murdered six members of a Westbank family will be asking for release from prison in an upcoming parole hearing. A Parole Board of Canada hearing has been set for Sept. 18, to give David Ennis—previously David Shearing—parole. In 2008, Ennis made a similar request but was denied full parole when the board said he posed a moderate risk for future violent offences. He turned down his 2010 opportunity for a hearing. Ennis, now 53, killed Westbank’s Bob and Jackie Johnson, their 13and 11-year-old daughters Janet and Karen and Jackie’s parents George and Edith Bentley of Port Coquitlam while the family camped in Wells Gray Provincial Park in August 1982. The family had been stalked by Ennis for a couple of days before he moved in on their gathering. See Ennis A6

Mower racing turns truck driver into weekend warrior Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Most days Andy McMahon is a truck driver who hauls milk products for Dairyland. But, a few weekends a year, that identity changes. Crowds cheer for him, competitors try to beat him and some little ones even look up to him. McMahon is a lawn mower racer. He, along with several others, competed in the lawn mower racing event at the 53rd annual Rutland May Days. McMahon, who lives in Agassiz, said that the sport first caught his interest when he watched an
event in his hometown. “I watched them race in Agassiz and I thought it’d be cool to get into,” said McMahon. “I found a mower that cost next to nothing…I took it apart, took the cutter head off, changed the pulleys and made it go fast.” The truck driver said that, despite not playing any other sports, he’s hooked on lawn mower racing. “If I can get the time off, I come and race.” According to McMahon, usually 15 to 20 riders show up at events where races are divided into two classes: Stock mowers and modified
mowers. They race on an oval track, with similar rules to stock car racing. Lawn mower racers are in it for the fun, said McMahon. Prizes for winning races usually consist of nothing more than ribbons or trophies. He said that he is confident that popularity will increase as the sport gets more exposure. “I think the more people find out about it, the more people will want to get into it. I don’t think it’s advertised enough.” In his first race of the weekend, McMahon turned in a solid performance and finished first. The next two races saw him finish middle of the
pack. After his third race he looked disappointed. “I should’ve had that one. You can’t make many mistakes in these races, once you get behind the other guys it’s hard to catch up.” The disappointment doesn’t linger long, within minutes he’s off his mower, chatting with his competitors about the race. After the weekend concluded, McMahon headed back to Agassiz. But once he goes back to work and is sitting in his truck, it likely won’t be long before he’s daydreaming about his next lawn mower race. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

It took a nationwide manhunt to track Ennis down, and once he was found police were able to extract a confession. Admitting his guilt to six counts of second degree murder, Ennis was sentenced of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. He’s now being held in custody at the Bowden Institution in Alberta.

Movie plan makes West Kelowna ready for its close-up Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A Mother’s Nightmare may be a dream come true for the Okanagan Film Commission. The film, to appear on Lifetime Movie Network, will begin production in West Kelowna later this month. The movie stars Jessica Lowndes—Adrianna in the TV series 90210—
and Annabeth Gish, who appeared in SLC Punk and Double Jeopardy. Grant Gustin, who debuted on Glee as Sebastian Smythe last November, will also have a main role in the picture. A Mother’s Nightmare is written by Shelly Gillen and will be directed by Vic Sarin, one of Canada’s most celebrated directors of photography. The production of-
fice will be set up at the Super 8 hotel, where all of the cast and crew will stay during the filming process. A home near Quail’s Gate Winery will be used as the main house in the movie; Mount Boucherie Secondary School will be a key set location; negotiations are underway to transform the exterior of the district municipal office into a hospital.
Jon Summerland, Okanagan Film Commissioner, said that if all goes well, West Kelowna may be a more permanent destination for Lifetime Movie Network films. “Lifetime does 12 movies a year and this director is going to do at least four,” said Summerland. “If we can make this work and they can have a great experience here… maybe they’ll go, ‘Wow,
we can save a bunch of money, it’s beautiful and sunny, why don’t we do all our Lifetime shows here?’ So you never know.” Summerland said there is a lot of pressure to make sure things go smoothly, but he feels comfortable with the crew—a team consisting of 95 per cent Okanagan locals. “They’ve had a couple of instances with the learning curve…but I
think we’ve done a great job as a group to make this happen. I think people will see that this is an easy place to film.” Even if Lifetime doesn’t set up shop permanently on the Westside, Summerland is optimistic other opportunities will come this way. “I think we’re probably busier than Vancouver, if you (compare) per capita; we’re doing quite

▼ B.C. MAYORS MEETING
Mayors say they’re tired of ‘grant game’ As B.C.’s mayors wrapped up their inaugural meeting in Penticton Friday they called for an immediate discussion with Premier Christy Clark and her cabinet to examine the state of communities in the province, specifically, at what they consider a more efficient use of existing resources to better address the challenges their cities, towns and villages face. The 86-stong newly dubbed B.C. Mayors’ Caucus endorsed the statement: “B.C. communities are frontline service providers for our citizens and we are seeking a new partnership with the provincial and federal governments in the best interests of all of our communities. The B.C. Mayors’ Caucus requests an immediate discussion on the efficient use of existing resources to better address the challenges our residents face.” Following the three days of meetings in Penticton, the mayors outlined a number of specific areas they say need to be addressed including: • Creation of a premier’s round-table with the mayors’ caucus to discuss
public policy changes that affect local government budgets and delivery of services • Elimination of the ad hoc granting process in favour of one that is sustainable, accountable, quantifiable and allows for long-term planning by local governments • Expansion of the mandate of the new municipal auditor-general to include an examination of the financial impacts of downloading on local governments • Development of a roundtable on aging infrastructure that includes federal, provincial and local government participation • Affirmation of the core service delivery of each order of government • A redesign of the cost sharing formula for significant infrastructure projects to reflect the tax revenue distribution • If services are devolved to local governments, that a sustainable revenue source for those services be identified • Development of a coordinated approach to how social services are delivered into a community • A call for a full review
of ambulance service delivery • Establishment of flexibility around the federal gas tax and for it to be goal-oriented to the priorities of the specific communities • Expansion of the application of the fair-share principles province-wide and to include other industry sectors. Steering committee member Mayor Shari Green of Prince George said the feeling in the room was clear. “This was an incredibly beneficial meeting where it became evident that B.C. mayors have, for the first time, come together as peers with a single voice,” said Green. “This is a new day in the way we, as mayors, will move forward for the
benefit of all of our residents.” Mayor Dean Fortin of Victoria said a number of common issues came to the forefront at the meeting, including the federal and provincial granting process for local governments. “Right now we’re caught in a grant game with the provincial and federal governments,” he said. “I’m looking forward to establishing a system that is sustainable, predictable, and quantifiable in order that we can budget and plan correctly in our respective communities.” The mayors decided the meeting will become an annual event, after the next meeting which is slated to be held in Victoria in September.

NEWS ▼ MENTAL HEALTH
New psychiatric ward welcomed
Y
ou may have seen or heard that there is a new wing opening at the Kelowna General Hospital in the next couple of weeks. Now that the construction site dust has settled, I took the opportunity to visit the open house last week and was very pleased with what I saw. We are truly getting a state-of-the-art facility. Although there are many wards for various areas of health care included in the new sixfloor wing, the one I was most interested in was the new unit for mental health and substance abuse services. It is an amazing facility compared to our existing psychiatric ward—the McNair Unit. In the new building, most rooms are single occupancy and the furni-
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer ture and design features are purpose-built with functionality and safety in mind. The space is well-appointed and patients will have the pleasure of windows with views. From what I saw, it appears there will be an increase in the number of beds as well as adequate space for expansion in the future. Perhaps the biggest upgrade is the psychiatric intensive care area. The old unit is very makeshift and not satisfactory for either patients or staff.
Dr. Lourens Human would like to inform his patients that effective July 1st, 2012 he will no longer be practicing in Kelowna. For any questions please contact his office at 250-860-5811
While I am encouraged and enthusiastic about this excellent new building with so many upgrades to enhance patient comfort and staff efficiency, I couldn’t help but spend some time pondering the extreme contrast between old and new. One can’t help but lament the amount of time it has taken for these necessary improvements to be made. Local psychiatrists have been recommending a replacement for the McNair Unit for 30 years. It should not have taken an entire generation to come to fruition. Even now, the provision of this new psychiatric facility likely has more to do with the requirement to rearrange buildings to accommodate other services such as cardiac surgery than it has to do with the needs of psychiatric patients. In my view, this is just one more example of the discrimination that still exists against individuals living with mental illness. To the decision makers who failed to make this happen sooner— shame on you. Now that we have the shiny new physical building, it behoves the powers that be to upgrade the services to match the facilities.
‘‘
…IT IS THE PEOPLE AND PROGRAMS, MORE THAN THE FACILITIES THAT TRULY DEFINE GREAT SERVICE
Hospital beds need to be better managed so that admissions can actually occur when needed; wait times in the ER need to be drastically reduced and there needs to be better follow-up in the community for patients after they are discharged. A method for assisting psychiatric patients in crisis without having to go through the ER unless required would go a long way toward decreasing the bottle-neck that can occur. While the new wing is certainly a welcome and necessary improvement, it will not be the solution to all our problems. As in any area of health care, it is the people and programs, more than the facilities that truly define great service.

Union contemplates setting up picket lines Richard Rolke

CONTRIBUTOR
It’s unknown if picket signs will pop up in front of local libraries. Okanagan Regional Library has indicated it will stick to its current contract position with the Canadian Union of Public Employees. “It’s a concern because we were hoping they would move and we could settle the contract,” said Rose Juric, local 1123 president. The union’s 155 members—
including in Kelowna, Westbank and Peachland—will be considering their next steps. “There will be further job action but we have to give 72-hour notice and we have to decide what form of action we take,” said Juric. “We’re really trying to do job action that doesn’t affect the public.” ORL has offered a 4.5 per cent increase over three years, and the union can decide if it goes to wages or benefits or a combination of both. “Given the current economic
climate, the ORL board feels this is a just offer—one that would fairly compensate our front-line staff while ensuring there is budget for improvements to technology and services for the benefit of all ORL customers,” states an ORL release. “We feel our wage and benefit packages are fair, and this is evidenced by the extremely low turnover we have amongst ORL staff. “It is true there haven’t been substantial improvements to the benefits package in 20 years; this is because the package is quite
comprehensive and in previous negotiations, CUPE has opted for salary increases over benefits improvements.” CUPE is seeking a five per cent wage hike over three years as well as improvements to benefits. Juric says that based on an 80/20 split between the employer and unionized and non-union workers for dental coverage, ORL pays $30,000 a year. “We’re talking about $30,000 in a $15 million budget. Aren’t we worth that?” she said adding that the cost of benefits has been eating away at paycheques.

▼ FAITH
The power of prayer is more than just trying to talk to God
M
ost people think of prayer as words, usually words addressed to God. Others understand it as a listening silence—a space opened within us that connects us to a deeper way of being. Within my faith tradition, we say “service be our prayer,” for we aspire to a spiritual practice that is expressed in acts of service at least as often as words or rituals. Our call as spiritually mindful people is to engage our hands in building a more just and compassionate world. For the only hands that God has are ours.
SOUL SEARCHING
Linda Horton Ours are the hands that feed a child, that embrace the grieving, that give shape to community. All religions emphasize compassion and a concern that goes beyond our own narrow personal interests. Jesus of Nazareth taught that it was not saying, “Lord, Lord” but giving care to the less for-
tunate that mattered at the end of the day. The Bodhisattva vow is to work for the end of suffering until all sentient being are freed. Jewish prophets challenged secular powers that did not take seriously their duty to the well-being of the less fortunate. One of the five pillars of Islam is giving a portion of one’s worldly goods to the poor. Only when undertaken with humility and mindfulness is service truly a form of prayer. I am reminded of a woman coming out of a $100-a -icket charity ball, where she had danced
all evening with a variety of charming partners. As she reached the sidewalk, a gaunt young man on crutches approached her, asking for a dollar to buy a cup of coffee. She drew away, protesting angrily, “How dare you? Aren’t you people ever satisfied? I just spent the whole night dancing for you!” To say “service is our prayer” means that we serve in awareness that we are interconnected with all beings. It means that being of use can transform us —can give our lives a context of meaning to anchor us in a chaotic world. It takes us beyond the
drama of our small, intense lives into a more spacious, less self-centered and therefore more serene reality. We can be of service to our families, to faith communities and other associations, to our local community or the community of humankind – to all beings—to the earth itself. There are actually studies showing that doing regular volunteer work dramatically increases life expectancy. No, I didn’t make that up! Service as a spiritual path is profoundly relational. When we gather in spiritual or other serviceoriented communities, we
enrich our own lives and are be strengthened in our ability to be a blessing to the world. Articulating a vision and working towards it with others can be a source of great creative energy, empowerment and hope. People in our world are yearning for hope. Can folks of all faiths work together for a shared vision of mutual respect, a just and compassionate society and a sustainable planet, rather than focusing upon our differences? If we can do that, and if we take seriously the call to be of service echoed by so many spirit-
ual teachers through the centuries, there is a realistic basis for hope. Recognizng service as a spiritual discipline, we can see it as a form of prayer -- an activity that connects us to deep roots of wholeness, meaning and creativity within and among us. An activity that flows from and strengthens our sense of interrelatedness with all beings. An activity that grounds and anchors us and gives life purpose even when our own small worlds might be falling apart. Rev. Dr. Linda Weaver Horton, Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.
Local Baha’is Inn From The Cold to race shopping carts raise awareness
Kelowna Bahá’í community will host a public event at the UBCO on May 26 to draw attention to the plight of their coreligionists in Iran. Local Baha’is hopes to educate and inspire people through stories of their friends and family members in Iran and give people some ideas about what they can do to help. The event, titled Faith and Sacrifice: The Bahá’ís in Iran, will include the personal stories of Central Okanagan residents, brief talks by local dignitaries and the screening of the powerful short film, Education Under Fire. May 14 and 22 mark the anniversaries of the arrests of six of seven Bahá’í leaders and the coordinated raids on 39 homes throughout Iran, along with the arrests of anumber of individuals associated with the Bahá’í Institute of Higher Education in Iran.
The Bahá’í community of Iran has been systematically and relentlessly persecuted since the revolution that brought the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to power in 1979., say Bahá’í officials here. Since 2004, the persecution of Bahá’ís has intensified in Iran and in the past year the attacks have escalated, with a threefold increase in the number of arrests of believers. More than 100 Bahá’ís are in prison there because of their religious beliefs, and more than 300 others await trial. Business licenses are refused or revoked for Bahá’ís and they are routinely denied employment The May 26 event starts at 2:30p.m. in room UCN200 For more information go to faithandsacrifice. org or contact event coordinator Cindy Snedden at sneddens@telus.net.

Now’s the time for mayoral muscle
T
here’s strength in numbers. That’s the message B.C. mayors are sending the provincial government. Breaking away from their traditional gathering at the Union of B.C Municipalities in September, the leaders of the province’s 86 municipalities sat down together in Penticton last week to map a unified plan for voicing their grievances about a host of issues where they see Victoria and Ottawa as not dealing fairly with B.C.’s most accessible level of government.
High on the priority list for the “conversation” they want with Pemier Christy Clark and her cabinet is the thorny question of grants. Described by one mayor as the “grant game,” the mayors want a better share of the tax revenue their residents pay out funnelled back to cover services, infrastructure and amenities in their cities, towns and villages. And they have a point. With just one taxpayer, municpalities are often treated as the poor

relative when it comes to divvying up the money we pay to government. Taking a cue from other areas of the country, B.C.’s mayors have finally figured out that the extra clout their offices afford them—on top of the power of the UBCM—can and should be used to get a better deal for British Columbians. For too long Victoria has had too strong a say on how municipalities across B.C. operate. It seems the formation of the B.C. Mayor’s Caucus is an at-
tempt to change that dynamic. But will the premier and her government listen? With the Liberals mired so low in the polls right now, it is no coincidence that the mayors chose this time to flex their political muscle. Demanding to be heard by a provincial government on the ropes is simply a case of capitalizing on an opportunity. So, if that serves taxpayers well, the only message for the mayors should be: Go for it, make your voices heard.

Premier bitten by politically-driven pesticide problem
P
remier Christy Clark has a new political problem. A year ago she was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government. Newly appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea from urban folks—a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.” So she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the Opposition and do something to redefine the B.C. Liberal Party. But first an all-party committee would hold hearings around the province, chaired by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. Bennett presented the committee’s report last week. Bennett is the rifle-toting outdoorsman who recent-
ly called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep pretending B.C. can change the world’s climate. He was recently appointed by Clark to co-chair the B.C. Liberal Party policy committee for next year’s election, a strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the B.C. Conservative threat. Bennett concluded after 10 months of hearings that the public aversion to common lawn and garden herbicides is based on “chemophobia” that flourishes due to scientific illiteracy.
statement is VICTORIA bothThat politically dangerVIEWS ous and absolutely correct. I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when enTom vironmentalists fought Fletcher the use of Roundup by the forests ministry to knock down brush and promote new trees. The evidence boils down to this: these complex organic compounds break down in a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat. Thus, with buffer zones around watercourses and temporary entry restrictions, they are safe. Unfortunately, most people re-
fuse to believe this. It’s part of the scientific nonsense trend that has grown in B.C.. We have parents turning their backs on routine immunization because of superstitions about vaccines and people panicked about smart meters, egged on by shoddy reporting. Bennett’s committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political—not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that
“cosmetic” use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban politics—backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence. The premier has a choice. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS ▼ ROAD SAFETY
Has requirement for safety gone overboard? To the editor: Have we become paranoid about safety? I remember well when ‘flag people’ were virtually non-existent to where today, I was struck by the opposite.
Is it any wonder why utilities/government are so costly to almost more than the taxpayer can bear? At the corner of Clement and Gordon on Friday morning, I observed a huge Telus truck parked
partially on the sidewalk, the rest on the street. Immediately behind the truck, on the sidewalk, was an open manhole, with men working around it. On the other side of
the hole was a sedan, also partially parked on the sidewalk. I suspect, a two-ton truck would have had difficulty zeroing in on the worksite, even if deliberate. On the street, were
two flagpeople—one at each end. Is this an abuse of the legislation, or has society gone too far with its demands for safety? Stan Klassen, Kelowna

Responsiblity on drivers to keep trucks safe To the editor: In response to a letter by B. Whiteway in Tuesday May 15 Capital News (Trucking Puts Onus on Drivers.). I, as a citizen of Kelowna, believe that Mr.
Whiteway is so close to the truth. If you refuse to drive these unsafe vehicles you have no job. If you drive them perhaps that could be your child or mine that never gets to go home.
Please big truck owners, fix your trucks and help keep BC safe. L. Meten, Kelowna

Spiritual Living supports gay marriage To the editor: Centers for Spiritual Living, a trans-denominational spiritual organization that has been in existence for over 80 years, has affirmed its view that marriage equality is not about politics, but rather about basic human rights. Rev. Dr. Kenn Gordon, spiritual leader of Centers for Spiritual Liv-
250•762•6097
ing, and director of the Centre for Spiritual Living Kelowna, said: “We support marriage equality. We consider marriage equality a human right and see it, therefore, not as a political question but as a spiritual one.” Centers for Spiritual Living teaches that there is an essential unity underlying all apparent differ-
ences, and consequently honors all faiths, understanding that each religion has a golden thread of truth. “We believe that love is the foundation of all major religious philosophies, and therefore we support the expression of love in same-sex couples and the right of same-sex couples to marry,” Gordon said.
Centers for Spiritual Living welcomes gays and lesbians into their spiritual centers. “We endeavor to get to the spiritual truth of the matter and through that lens we see that marriage equality is about human and civil rights.” Centers for Spiritual Living is a global organization that provides spirit-
ual tools to transform personal lives and help make the world a better place. Centers for Spiritual Living has over 250,000 members worldwide. Dr. Deborah Gordon, director, Centres for Spiritual Living Kelowna

Common sense goes out window with seat in gov’t
To the editor: Re: Letter to the editor Spending Decisions: Millions for Overpass, Little for Westside Road, May 15 Capital News. I agree with Graeme James that all governments have trouble spending money wisely. Spending money on the Westside Road to straighten it would be
wasteful because the road does not cause the accidents. It is the foolishness and inability of the drivers that cause the accidents. Accidents happen on straight roads regularly. The City of Kelowna wasted considerably with spending money in the Knox Mountain Park, building expensive fences alongside trails and a stairway ap-
proaching the lookout. All this while Mr. James was on council so he knows first hand about foolish government spending. It seems that when those in charge have someone else’s money, common sense about how to spend or conserve it goes out the window. Bryan St George, Kelowna

How to deal with tennis elbow Adam Bernard CONTRIBUTOR
Lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow is a common injury we see as physiotherapists. It involves inflammation around the bony aspects of the outside of the elbow. This can be a painful experience and can have a long healing process. It can be caused by direct trauma to the outside of the elbow or more
commonly by overuse of the wrist extensor muscles. Wrist extensor tendons attach to the outside part of the elbow and are responsible for controlling some of the movements of the wrist. The dominant hand is most often the side that is affected. Lateral epicondylitis usually presents with some or all of the following: diffuse achiness, morning stiffness, occasional pain through the
night, pain with gripping, dropping objects, or tender to touch the outside of the elbow. Lateral epicondylitis is not limited to problems at the elbow as the shoulder and neck can also have a contribution to the onset of pain. The elbow pain can start acutely where the pain is abrupt or the pain can be a gradual onset. Many jobs require heavy lifting, repetitive motions, or prolonged
gripping which can all lead to lateral epicondylitis. It is common in jobs such as construction/electrical or jobs that require large volumes of typing. There are a number of recreational activities that can cause this type of injury. As we move into summer some of the more common activities include kayaking, wake boarding, golf, squash, racquetball, weight lifting, baseball, and of course tennis. There are a number of treatments used to treat tennis elbow. One common treatment you may see people using is a tennis elbow brace which can help reduce the strain on the affected muscles and tendons. Other treatment options may include: rest, ice, modalities such as ultra sound and IFC to reduce inflammation, stretches, and strengthening. Some ways to minimize your chances of developing lateral epicondylitis include reducing repetitive activities or using your non-dominant hand more often; reduce forceful grasping; take frequent breaks; and break up lifting heavy loads into smaller more manageable loads. Following a few or all of these guidelines may help reduce or avoid this painful condition that can so often take months to heal completely. For more information on this topic you are invited to attend his free lecture on Wednesday, May 30, 6 to 7 p.m., at our Glenmore clinic, 202-437 Glenmore Rd. RSVP to 250-762-6313 to reserve your seat. Adam Bernard is a registered physiotherapist at Sun City Physiotherapy’s Glenmore location.

Misleading argument about refugees and immigration O
ne of the myths that continually swirl around the Internet is that it is more advantageous to be a refugee than a pensioner in Canada because the monthly entitlement for single refugees under the Refugee Assistance Program is $1,890. This information is incorrect. Citizenship and Immigration Canada does not provide financial assistance to refugee claimants who enter Canada seeking protection. Financial assistance under the RAP is limited to a small number of government-assisted refugees who enter Canada as permanent residents and are not entitled to income support under provincial social assistance programs. For these individuals, a one-time start-up amount of $1,830 is allowed, followed by a monthly allowance for no more than one year, or until he or she becomes self-sufficient, whichever comes first. Misinformation about refugees and new im-
Trunk sale spots still available Want to edit your life, and sell off some of your gently used stuff? Then there’s still time to register for the second annual Trunk Sale at Okanagan College on Saturday, May 26, 8 a.m. to noon. Organized by the Regional Waste Reduction Office, the Trunk Sale is one huge garage sale in the college parking lot next to the student resident buildings. Rae Stewart, with the Waste Reduction Office, says the event champions reuse and recycling so less ends up in our landfill. “You just wheel your way in, do all the selling from the trunk of your car, van or back of your pickup. It’s a great way to get your gently used treasures into the hands of someone else who wants them. And judging from the variety of stuff on hand at last year’s sale, it will be a sellers and buyers smorgasbord!” For further information on the Trunk Sale, visit regionaldistrict.com/ recycle, or call the Regional Waste Reduction Office at 250-469-6250.
MP’S REPORT
Ron Cannan migrants also states that these individuals can qualify for OAS with as little as two years residency. Again this is incorrect. In order to qualify for OAS, there is a 10 year residency requirement after age 18. If this is met, eligible Canadians can start receiving the lifelong, publicly-funded benefit at age 65, or 67 when the OAS changes take place beginning in 2023. More recently, proposed changes to health care for refugees under Bill C-31 has also generated misinformation, including claims that the changes are dangerous or unethical. There is no change in Interim Federal Health coverage for treatments affecting public health and public safety.
Treatment, including prescription medications, will continue to be provided to all refugee claimants for infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV, and for other medications necessary to protect public health and safety, such as anti-psychotic drugs. Nor is there any change to primary health care for the vast majority of refugee claimants, who will continue to have access to the full range of basic doctor and hospital services that all Canadians receive through their provincial health care system, including treatment for chronic disease. Importantly, all refugee claimants are provided, free of charge, an Immigration Medical Exam, which screens claimants for disease and provides the preventative health care that critics claim is being lost. And, of course, as soon as a refugee claimant is found to be a genuine refugee, he or she has access to the full benefits of the provincial health care system. What is changing is
that bogus asylum seekers, including those whose claims have been rejected but who refuse to leave Canada, will no longer receive, at taxpayer expense, enhanced health services such as eye and dental coverage that are unavailable to many ordinary Canadians. Nor will “asylum seekers” from safe countries, such as the liberal democracies of the European Union or the United States, continue to receive the full range of basic and supplemental health care coverage, though they will still receive urgent or essential medical care, including hospital treatment, and any prescription drugs and treatment necessary to address a public health or safety risk, such as an infectious disease. These changes go hand in hand with the introduction of reforms to speed up the processing of asylum claims from safe countries, meaning that these asylum seekers will have their claims heard in a matter of weeks, rather than years, as is currently the case.
Health coverage for these claimants is, therefore, only a short interim measure. These are reasonable, measured changes to stop the abuse of Canada’s generous and overburdened health care system by bogus asylum claimants, and especially by those that have already been rejected by our fair and independent refugee determination system but who refuse to return home, preferring to enjoy generous welfare and health care benefits that even honest, hard-working Canadians do not receive. As with all of the above, I encourage constituents to be cautious about believing bad news and conspiracy theories without obtaining more information. Fear mongering remains an effective way of swaying public opinion, even more so in the age of the internet because it spreads so fast. The good news is the Internet also makes it easier to be better informed. Access to information about the federal gov-

Student behind Young Entrepreneur program wins national award The Okanagan School of Business student who catapulted SIFE Okanagan’s Young Entrepreneur program into an undisputed Kelowna success story has received a national award for her efforts. Lauren Strang, 24, received the Project Manager of the Year award at the 2012 ACE (Advancing Canadian Entrepreneurship) National Exposition held in Calgary last week. She graduates from Okanagan College in June with her bachelor of business administration degree. “This was such a great experience, and such an honour to receive this award,” said Strang, who spearheaded the Young Entrepreneur program this year in the Central Okanagan. “I really couldn’t have done this without our SIFE mentors and our partners at the college, the school district, and the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission.” The program, which also runs in Penticton and Vernon, guides Grade 7 to 12 students through the paces of what it takes to run a business—from initial concept through to marketing. Under Strang’s leadership, the Central Okanagan program grew exponentially, from 50 to 76 teams with 209 students taking part from 18
schools in School District 23. With so many participants, Strang needed more mentors so she recruited students from the College’s Okanagan School of Business, along with those from the community at large, including former Kelowna mayor Sharon Shepherd. “This was the biggest project I worked on through my years with SIFE, and I decided to go big or go home,” said Strang. “It was a lot of work, a lot of networking, but if you find something you enjoy, you don’t need motivation.” SIFE Okanagan faculty advisor Dr. Kyleen Myrah applauded Strang’s ability for creating incredible partnerships. “What I appreciate about Lauren is her strong communication skills, hard work ethic and innovation,” she said. Strang was only one of a large contingent of Okanagan College students who distinguished themselves at this year’s national competition. Okanagan College’s financial literacy team (Tom Arrowsmith, Monika Jassi, Kris Goralski, Reema Gidda, plus Alejandro Valcarcel, an international student from Columbia based in Kelowna) came in second to Ryerson University for the Capital One SIFE National Financial Education

LAUREN STRANG was named project manager of year at the 2012 ACE national exposition in Calgary. Challenge. The financial literacy team impressed the judges with its three-pronged family life-cycle approach that educates those struggling with numeracy issues, whether they are in elementary school, college, or trying to make ends meet as adults. The program includes Road-Map to Financial Success which partners with Prospera Credit Union to educate college-aged students overwhelmed by student loans and credit cards, and Dollars and Sense, which works with Metro Up Financial Asset and Literacy Association of Kelowna to educate at-risk adults about budgeting and consumerism. “We are so proud of the whole team effort and how the students are using their business skills to make a difference in their local communities,”
Myrah said. Overall, Okanagan College achieved high national standings in a number of categories: • Top five team nation-wide (team members from the Kelowna area included SIFE president Caroline Wyatt, Danielle Hofer, and Bill Wang) • Top six for the Scotiabank SIFE Green challenge (including Joey Colangelo, Brea Retzlaff and Dominique Tipton of Kelowna) • Top eight for the TD SIFE Entrepreneurship competition (including Adrienne Renaud and Lauren Strang of Kelowna), plus • Third year in a row as the Canadian Let’s Can Hunger champion. More than 100 students from all four Okanagan College campuses are involved in SIFE Okanagan working on more than 14 projects a year.
his is the time of year when Canadians receive their annual tax refund. After the tax filing deadline on April 30, it only takes a couple of weeks to get a nice refund cheque in the mail, or deposited directly into your bank account. When you receive a tax refund, you have overpaid your taxes through out the year. The government has kept your money interest-free for the past year and is now returning your money to you. Many people consider a tax refund found money, but in reality this is your money back in your pocket. So, what to do with your CRA tax refund? How about splurging on a big screen TV or a large appliance to replace an old, tired appliance? Maybe a night out on the town? Or you can use some practical ideas. Some people decide to take a large tax refund, and pay off credit card debt. Paying down debt can be hugely beneficial. For example, if you have credit card debt running at 19 per cent or 28 cent interest, paying down that debt saves you the high interest charges on the outstanding principal. High interest credit card debt is bad debt. Making one or two months of extra mortgage payments each year will pay your mortgage debt years earlier. You can purchase a

YOU CAN USE SOME PRACTICAL IDEAS...PAYING DOWN DEBT CAN BE HUGELY BENEFICIAL.
You can take your tax refund and contribute to your RRSP. You will be setting aside additional money for your retirement, plus receive a tax savings next year. It’s the gift of giving to yourself that keeps on giving. A TFSA contribution will keep your money tax sheltered. Choosing between contributing to your RRSP or TFSA should be based on reviewing your current marginal tax rate and your marginal tax rate in retirement. It also depends on how many years the money will be invested.
Is this a long-term investment or an emergency fund? Make sure you have available room in your RRSP or TFSA before you make the contribution. Contribute to a RESP. As a parent or grandparent setting aside money for educational purposes and benefitting from the Canada Savings Education Savings Grant from the government will help with post-secondary education costs. Donating $2,500 annually for a child will attract the maximum in CESGs. Donating to a charity is a way of helping others and creating a tax-savings for you. Philanthropy means helping those in need. You can also donate, or gift, money to your family members or heirs. Gifting today allows you to see your gift enjoyed, or put to good use. This also allows you to reduce the size of your estate. Choose a fun way to spend your tax refund. Deciding as a family on a vacation or week-end away can be an enjoyable way to spend your tax refund that only comes once a year.

Ways of ending employment on a high note for all concerned
E
mployment relationships are complicated things. The longer one stays with an employer the deeper the connections can be and the harder it can be to leave, even when it is obvious that a change is needed. Employees leave for all kinds of reasons. Today, I’d like to talk about voluntary departures, the potential impact on interpersonal relationships and how the winding down process can be handled more effectively. One obvious situation of voluntary departure is retirement and, as a natural evolution in the employment cycle it is relatively easy to accept.
WORK LIFE
Laurie Mills A second situation is when a younger employee gives notice and that can be more emotionally complicated. Both cases present common challenges for an employer. There is the loss of the employee’s knowledge and skills, the potential drop in productivity during the wind down period, and, the personal impact of losing a familiar work-
ing relationship. From an operational perspective, the employer’s top priority is likely to be maintaining the flow of business activities both during and after the employee’s departure phase. Having a clear, efficient plan for backfilling, hiring and/or training a replacement is critical. Ideally the departing employee is part of that process so that the transfer of knowledge is more complete and disruption to work activities is minimized. Once an employee has decided to leave there is always the potential that they will disengage and that can easily translate into lower productivity,
even in those who have been good performers. As an employer, it is wise to be prepared for that shift and try to minimize the effects. It makes good business sense to tap into the employee’s knowledge and understanding of their job while they are still employed so why not involve them directly in the transition process? Doing so will send the message that their input is valued and appreciated. That may just be enough to keep their motivation up until their last day. Knowing the right approach for ending the employment relationship is trickier. Whether the employ-
ee is changing jobs or moving into retirement, the way their exit is handled will have a lasting impression on everyone. Much depends on the reasons for the departure. It can be as simple as an employee moving away for personal reasons or it can be as complicated as an employee leaving because they feel their talents are not appreciated or well utilized. The employer’s response to an employee who has chosen to leave, regardless of the reason, can be quite revealing. Some employers are able to accept the natural cycle of staff changeover and be professional to the end.
For others it may feel like a personal rejection triggering negative behaviour that is completely counter productive to the situation. People who change jobs are reminded to not burn bridges with bad behaviour because each employer is a potential reference for their work performance. Doesn’t the same rule apply to employers? Of course it does because employees make their own assessments which can be strongly influenced by how their exit was handled. The reality is that employees will come and go. So why not take the high road and consider each
one as an ambassador for you and your business? The ideal approach is to be a consistently good employer—one who sincerely supports, engages and appreciates all employees, whether they are just coming on board, or have one foot out the door.

Changing face of entrepreneur
F
eeling rather professorial this week, as I tend to do from time to time, particularly when I am inspired by some tidbit of information, thought or experience. Unlike most managers in large, stable organizations, entrepreneurs often must exercise many roles while exploring and launching their entrepreneurial venture. Roughly speaking, in the following sequential order, such roles are played out almost daily by existing and aspiring entrepreneurs on their journey to personal change: visualizer, planner, resource gatherer, resource organizer, sales/ marketing guru and administrator. My primary motivation to share these thoughts with you is the upcoming Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society monthly town hall May 30 at 7 p.m. at Manteo Resort. There will be four speakers and the audience will be enjoy lively discussion on the entrepreneurial process, from ideas to venture launch and everything in between. OK, back to the beginning…How does he or she do it? Poorly? By working heroic hours?
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young By delegating tasks to others? By being as inexplicable genius? Often, the answer is yes, to all of the above. Take a moment to look at each of these roles and try to imagine the mysterious journey the entrepreneur undertakes. The visualizer: This role is central. An entrepreneur is someone who can look at products and services and visualize what others cannot see, that is, opportunities to create a new value. Or, as I have stated before, looking at the world the same as everyone else but thinking, acting and behaving differently. The planner: Obviously then, is required to drive the perceived entrepreneurial opportunity toward reality. The budding entrepreneur plans each move and generally works by themselves initially, but uses acquaintances and selfdeveloped networks to
gather information, advice, emotional and intellectual support. The resource gatherer: This role is often seen as ambiguous as tasks and resources have to be identified, divided, co-ordinated and eve, yes, delegated. The entrepreneur decides which tasks will be accomplished through his or her own abilities and by others. The sales/marketer: Invariably along the entrepreneurial journey, the entrepreneur must sell him or herself, the idea, the company, the products or services, as part of the ongoing new venture process. In fact, amusedly, it is said at this stage, the entrepreneur is the product or service offered. The desire is ever-present to succeed along the venture highway. The administrator: Perhaps, when viewing this role of the entrepreneur, we can muse of this sequence: you create something, you grow it, you search for your competitive advantage - then you tie it down tightly, making it as efficient as possible. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, consultant and educator.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and It’s Happening Right Here in Kelowna!
By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER
ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays. Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold,
silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased. Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewellery and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers. So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If your’re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Fate of European economic zone shrouded in uncertainty
O
ne of the recurring topics that I have been asked about this spring concerns the fate of the Euro and the European Union. I know that there was a deal finally hammered out to keep the functionally bankrupt Greece from collapsing and perhaps taking the entire eurozone with it. However, no mainstream investment strategist that I follow thinks that this agreement is the end of the broader Euro crisis. More debt crises are coming and the worst case outcomes are very bad indeed, with depression hyperinflation, civil unrest and authoritarian governments all being presented as real possibilities. How could something
INVESTMENT INSIGHTS
Rob Oleksyn so obviously flawed in retrospect as the Euro and the European Union have been allowed to happen? When the euro became the currency of most EU countries in 2002, the intentions were honourable. The idea was that the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) would use the low interest rates and the ready loan availability to recapitalize and revitalize their economies. That part of the plan worked. Euro-denominat-
ed sovereign debt came to be viewed as a single market and the PIIGS were able to borrow at interest rates comparable to the core countries like Germany. This was pleasant for all concerned, pumping up core country’s trade surpluses and tax revenues while allowing peripheral countries to ‘boom’ without apparent consequences. In retrospect, the European Union idea had some design flaws, beginning with the assumption that simply imposing the same currency on a group of disparate nations
would somehow cause all of them to suddenly adopt Germanic thrift, efficiency and budgetary restraint. Degenerate spendthrifts continued to spend far beyond their means, but the reduced the interest rates paid actually meant that they could afford to borrow even more. The result was a variety of debt driven ills, from housing budgets to soaring deficits to insolvent banks. As a result, today’s European financial sector is seen as an emergency room full of over indebted countries and mega
banks. As usual, the discussion boils down to the essential investor question of, “So what do I do?” First, don’t try to forecast what is going to happen and then redesign your portfolio. It’s impossible to guess the future and unprofitable and unwise to base the design of your investment portfolio on it. My other reminder to investors is that price is the difference between a ‘good business’ and a ‘good investment.’ I’ve learned to become very suspicious of any consensus forecast be-
cause if everyone believes that only one outcome is possible then everyone will be on the same side of the trade. In this case, the consensus (a synonym for consensus is ‘herd’) is that they should be selling low! There’s a very good reason that successful investors are contrarian— you make more money. The European Union and the euro will evolve into whatever they will evolve into. No one knows for sure what that will be. I am certain only that if you invest rationally and un-
emotionally, you will have better results than those that don’t. Rob Oleksyn is an investment advisor and financial planner at BMO Nesbitt Burns.

SENIORS Using electric scooters safely W
hile electric scooters are a great mobility aid for seniors, they must also take ultimate responsible for their own safety when riding them. Seniors riding electric scooters are classified as pedestrians and must follow the same rules as someone walking on a street or sidewalk. First, as electric scooters must be ridden on sidewalks, the operator must avoid coming up quickly from behind people on foot. Electric scooters can also only be driven on the street when sidewalk access is not available and
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Sharen Marteny the operators must be facing the oncoming traffic. When crossing the street, do so at a marked crosswalk wherever possible and be aware of oncoming traffic. When riding an electric scooter, it is a senior’s responsibility to be aware of their surroundings. Have mirrors attached to see behind the scooter.
Add a canopy so that the sunlight is not interfering with your sight. Have a proper holder for an oxygen tank and a cane if required. For shopping purposes, have a proper basket on the back of the scooter. If a walker is needed when the seniors arrive at the destination, a walker frame holder is available for the back of the scooter. Scooter flags are available to aid in being visible to others. At all times wear a helmet, added protection in case the scooter flips over. For added visibility wear an orange vest.

If the electric scooter has headlights, turn them on while riding during the day and use the four-way flashers when stopped. If a senior is going to drive when it is dark outside, wear reflective clothing to assist in being easily visible. For increased safety, only ride outside during the day when the daylight and weather allows the seniors to see easily and be seen. Do not ride during the colder weather when there is ice and snow on the sidewalks. A common mistake that seniors make is not keeping the electric scooter battery charged. This could lead to the scooter stopping at a place and time where it’s not safe. It should be charged every night which will also add to the life of the battery. The size and speed of electric scooters is increasing. Seniors must realize that when they are riding that they must be capable of maneuvering them safely. If seniors have any physical or mental limitations that might negatively impact their reaction time, then a scooter may not be the best options for safely getting around. Any accidents that seniors are deemed to have caused could result in charges being laid under the Motor Vehicles Act. This could also result in financial penalties. If family members are aware of any limitations of the seniors and there is an accident, the families could be held liable.

Are you aging or decaying? Bobbi Kittle CONTRIBUTOR
The premise of the latest book I’ve been reading, Younger Next Year by Chris Crowley and Dr. Henry Lodge, is how to live strong, fit and sexy until you are 80 and beyond—and that we have the choice to age in good health! The authors say there is a critical distinction between aging and decaying. Aging is inevitable and is designed to be a slow process, but decaying is optional. You can actually make up your mind and tell your body you are going to live as though you were 50, and in doing so send your body different signals that can help you to be functionally younger next year. As we age, we notice every year we are getting a little fatter, slower and weaker. Aches and pains become more noticeable. Many close to age 60 feel they are on a slippery downhill slope into old age and death. They simply expect to “get old and die, ” a deeply mistaken idea for planning your life since with the increasing life expectancy we now have, living well into our 80s in good health is attainable. Dr. Lodge makes the point in the book that 70 per cent of what you feel as aging is optional. Biological aging cannot be avoided: Your hair will turn grey, gravity will take its toll, you will get wrinkles, your maxi-
mum heart rate will decline regardless of how active you are. However, you don’t have to act or feel old. He also notes that 70 per cent of premature death is lifestyle related that could have been forestalled. Our modern lifestyle—with junk food, too much television watching, stress, poor sleep habits, and little or no exercise—is to be blamed. And it’s not just with older people as the effects of idleness are showing up with the younger generations as well. Being sedentary is one of the most important signals for decay. Without daily exercise, you are telling your body it’s time to get old, to store every bit of excess food as fat, which melts off muscle and lets the joints decay. The keys to overriding the decay code in our body are daily exercise, reasonable nutrition, emotional commitment and a real engagement with living. In working with older adults and instructing seniors’ fitness classes, I can see the difference in those who have refused to simply grow old and die. Believe me, I want to continue an active, healthy lifestyle and prepare for the aging process. I encourage you to do the same—get exercising, eat nutritional meals and make a mental commitment to love long and well.

Cost to treat diabetes one that can be reduced Dr. H. H. Chirayath CONTRIBUTOR
How much does diabetes cost? This might sound a strange question because “cost” can be thought of in different ways. For patients, there is the financial cost of buying the costly medications associated with diabetes. For hospitals there are the costs of extra hospital admissions and longer hospital stays for patients with diabetes. For society there is the cost of sick leave and also high care costs for looking after people with diabetes. But the most important cost is perhaps the human cost, where diabetes often causes people to have a poorer quality of life compared to those without diabetes. Although it’s very difficult to estimate how much diabetes costs Canada, some approximate
figures are available. It’s estimated that total health care costs to manage diabetes were $4.66 billion in 2000 and will rise to $8.14 billion in 2016. There are some estimates that say costs will rise to a mind-boggling $16.9 billion by 2020— that’s a lot of money to treat one single disease. What drives this increase? It’s mainly a combination of the rising prevalence of diabetes as well as the increasing cost of treatment. How can we bring down costs? Well, the good news is that both the human cost and the financial cost can both be brought down dramatically. The steps are very simple, but here’s the catch: they are often difficult to implement. The first step would be to increase knowledge and awareness about diabetes.
What’s true and what isn’t true when it comes to diabetes? Believe me, there are a lot of wrong concepts out there. The next step would be to act on that knowledge: eat healthier food with smaller portion sizes, exercise regularly, monitor blood glucose levels and work with health professionals in improving levels. Yes, it sounds simple and you’ve heard it all a hundred times before, but putting things into practice is what we really need to concentrate on. Lowering costs starts with individuals, but health authorities and governments also have a role. Health authorities in Canada will need to invest in diabetes care: better screening, improved co-ordination of care and earlier treatment of complications. Governments can make healthier food and drink less expensive than

Speijer training with nationals Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Even as one of the most highly-touted high school players in B.C., Nate Speijer insists he had no idea he might one day have a chance to wear his country’s colours in international competition. Four years later, the UBC Okanagan Heat veteran is firmly on the radar of the national men’s volleyball program. Thanks to his performance at a selection camp earlier this month in Gatineau, Que., Speijer, 21, was one of 22 players named to Canada’s national senior men’s B team. For the next two weeks, the Penticton product and Heat outside hitter will be training in Gatineau with many of the top players from around the country. “I really didn’t think I was going to make the team, there were some older guys there who really knew the game and a lot of them had been training towards this since September,” said Speijer. “I was surprised and excited,
and now I’m going to try make the best of it.” In his fourth season with the Heat—and first in the CIS—in 2011-12, Speijer proved he could push his game to a whole new level by finishing third in the Canada West conference in kills. He was also named a Canada West all-star. Over the next month or so with the national program, the 6-foot-4 Speijer expects his game to take another considerable step forward. “I can already feel myself maturing as a volleyball player, I’m understanding the relevance of all the situations on the court and it’s helping me grow exponentially,” said Speijer. “When you take reps with the best players in the country, your skills have to increase. Every touch of the ball has a sense of urgency to it. “It’s an honour for me to be here,” he added, “and Im going to try get the most out of it I can.” At the end of the camp, the national program will choose 12 players from the B squad to attend the Pan American Cup July
7 to 15 in the Dominican Republic.
‘‘
I’M UNDERSTANDING THE RELEVANCE OF ALL THE SITUATIONS ON THE COURT AND IT’S HELPING ME GROW EXPONENTIALLY. Nate Speijer
“I’d love to make the trip, that would be an amazing experience,” said Speijer, whose older brother Ryan is a former member of the national junior team. “If not, I know I’ll have learned so much more by then.” Heat coach Greg Poitras, who recruited him out of Pen-Hi in 2008, isn’t surprised that Speijer has grabbed the attention of the national team. Still, Poitras said Speijer’s success isn’t simply a result of raw talent and ability.
“(Being with the national team) isn’t something that just happened for Nate,” Poitras said. “He’s had to work very hard, I’d say there’s no player on our team who’s worked harder than him the last few years. He’s talented, for sure, but he deserves every bit of recognition he’s received because of his hard work. I expect him to do well and come back to us in the fall an even better player.” Speijer’s long-term plan is to eventually make the step up to the Canadian men’s A team and to play professionally once his five-year career with the Heat comes to an end next season. And while it’s a long way off, the big picture dream would be to play for Canada at the 2016 Summer Olympics. “One of the coaches was speculating that a lot of the guys on the B team are at the age where they’ll be part of the plan for the 2016 games,” said Speijer. “I’d be 25 by then. That would be a dream come true.” whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

On Saturday, the Athletics opened with a 12-1 thrashing of the Reds. Dillon Kakoshke went six solid innings on a five-hittter for his second win. Morgan Loftstrom paced the offense with three hits and scored four runs, while Nate Ackerman had three RBIs. In Game 2 Saturday, the A’s rallied for five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning for a 6-5 win. Brandon Sonnenberg and Jordan Ramirez

Women’s Rockets re-sign assistant coach Lambert CN tour golf Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With one of the Western Hockey League’s youngest, most promising defensive corps at his disposal, Dan Lambert didn’t spend a lot of time weighing his options. The 42-year-old Lambert will return as an assistant coach with the Kelowna Rockets in 2012-13 after signing a new twoyear contract. “You look at the kids that are coming back, specifically on the back end, and I think this team has a real bright future,” said Lambert, who first joined the Rockets coaching staff at the beginning of the 2009-10 season. “There’s some talent and quite a bit of potential there, so I think it’ll be a lot of fun to work with these guys, and see how they progress over the next couple of years.” A skilled defenceman throughout his junior and
pro careers, Lambert has been largely responsible for the growth and development of the Rockets blue line corps over the last three seasons. With the likes of upand-comers Damon Severson, Madison Bowey, Jesse Lees and Cole Martin continuing to develop, and Mitchell Chapman, MacKenzie Johnston and Myles Bell providing experience, Lambert is optimistic the Rockets are on solid footing defensively for the foreseeable future. Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton said Lambert’s work with the team’s defense and his compatibility with the rest of the coaching staff made it an easy decision to re-sign the St. Boniface, Man. native. “Everyone of those players made headway last season and a lot of that sits with Dan and the work he did with them,” said Hamilton. “They all got progressively better, espe-

DAN LAMBERT has signed on for two more years as an assistant coach with the Kelowna Rockets. cially after Christmas. “I like our group as coaches, too, Dan fits in well, they push each other to get better. I have no doubt other opportunities for him will come along in the future.” While Lambert’s longterm ambitions include being a head coach at the
major junior level and possibly higher, his current job in Kelowna is close to the ideal situation for both him and his family. “When I consider everything that’s involved, it was the right move to stay here,” said Lambert, who has three kids, aged 17, 15 and 10. “My family
enjoys it here. My kids have been moved around a lot over the years, so it’s nice for them to stay put for a while. “There’s no doubt I want to be a head coach someday,” he added, “but
to be in Kelowna as an assistant is a real nice alternative.” And with just three seasons of full-time coaching under his belt, Lambert admits there’s still plenty to learn as a right-hand man. “I enjoy it here and I do feel like I have a lot to offer,” Lambert continued. “With coaching, you need the right personality, and as an assistant I’d say I’m a bit like a liaison between the head coach and the players and, for now, I’m comfortable with that role. In this business, you never stop learning. There are a lot of upsides for me to be here.” Lambert will rejoin head coach Ryan Huska, and assistants Ryan Cuthbert, Kim Dillabaugh and Kim Gellert for the 201213 season. All have two years remaining on their respective contracts.
Kelowna’s Samantha Richdale tied for 22nd place at the season-opening event on the CN Canadian Women’s Golf Tour. Richdale carded a two-round score of 4-over par 150 (74-76) last week at the Richmond Country Club, to finish seven shots back of winner Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam. Richdale has played two events on the LPGA tour this season, but missed the cut both times. One other Kelowna golfer, Kyla Inaba, played in Richmond and finished in a tie for 56th. The Gallagher’s Canyon member had a two day score of (80-79) 159. The next stop on the CN Tour is June 11 to 13 in Beloeil, Que.

Calgary middle blocker to join Heat volleyball The UBC Okanagan men’s volleyball squad continues to build on a successful inaugural season on Canada West competition with the signing of another quality recruit.
Josh Harvey, a 6-foot6 middle blocker from Cochrane, Alta., has committed to the Heat for the 2012-13 campaign. He carries a 90 per cent average and has been accepted in the Enginee-
ring program at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “I chose UBC Okanagan based on my interest in both the engineering and volleyball programs,” Harvey said of his decision to play for the Heat.
Heat head coach Greg Poitras thinks the Albertan will be a perfect fit for his roster and is the start of a strong nucleus of middle blockers. “Josh is a great addition to our 12/13 class as he will provide competition to our other young middles,” said Potiras. The Heat are losing only Mark Broome from the middle spot, but fel-
low Cochrane native Brett Uniat will be playing in his final year at the position, as such the need to rebuild that spot on the court is now. Poitras likes Harvey’s upside and his work ethic, adding that, “Josh has a very positive attitude and is a very hard worker. He has good size and a great frame for volleyball. He’s trained with Dinos Volley-
ball Club out of Calgary under some very well-respected coaches. He loves to train and is an outstanding teammate.” Harvey knows full well the opportunities that are present with this team and is welcoming the challenge put forth by the coaches. “The volleyball program is also very inviting as the coaching staff
brings great experience and knowledge. Overall I see many great opportunities to succeed at the UBC Okanagan,” adds Harvey. The other players that have committed to join the Heat in the fall for Poitras are: Jim Bell (middle, Surrey), and Alex Swiatlowski (outside, Victoria), and setter Kristof Schlagintweit (Abbotsford).

Kelowna Soccer League scores In Division 1 play, the battle of the two top team went to the Modern Furniture Pikey’s, 7-3 over Brandt’s Creek Pub. Brandt’s Creek took the early lead on a goal from Mike Jaschke before taking a red card 30 in. The Pikey’s Kyle Logan converted the resulting penalty kick to make it 1-1. Brandt’s Creek got another goal shortly after half-time to take the lead 2-1 when Gary Allen drew a penalty shot and converted it himself. From there, the uphill battle became too steep as the two teams each traded a goal, before Pikey’s scored four unanswered to win 7-3. Pikey’s scoring was rounded out by Nathan Samaddar, Dan Hunt, Justin Kandola, Matt Reese, Joe Wingham, and Dane Ullyot. Brandt’s third goal was deposited by Dan Vicaretti in the loss.

The BC SPCA operates with the assistance of over 4,000 volunteers who work at the shelter level and in a variety of fundraising, advocacy and education roles. These critical individuals assist our branches through activities such as dog walking, cat wellness, rabbit & small animal care, administrative support, special events, fundraising, education, volunteer coordination, fostering, advocacy, and so much more.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen earth wind & fire Fire is used by chefs to create masterpieces of culinary extravagance from the produce of the earth and the sea, and the annual Earth Wind and Fire fund-raiser for the Nature Trust of B.C. takes funds raised by that gala to help conserve wild and natural bits of our earth so the wind will still have a place to tease wildflowers. So, if you appreciate nature—and fine foods and wines—this is a ‘must go’ event for you. Funds from last year’s event went towards the successful purchase this spring of a 2,000-acre grassland and riparian habitat at Twin Lakes, just east of Penticton. Such projects are essential to maintain not just habitat, but connectivity for wild species to be able to move about as part of their seasonal migrations or in a quest for food, and work by organizations such as the Nature Trust of B.C. is essential to protect wild areas from development by humans. Land that's fit for wildlife is fit for humans. The evening opens with a sparkling reception with appetizers at the Delta Grand, and continues with live entertainment from jazz artist Anna Jacyszyn and Wheelhouse, with EZ Rock’s Andy and TJ as MCs for the evening. Many of Kelowna’s top chefs will present plates during the evening, along with members of Culinary Team B.C. and it will all be paired with wines and beer from some of the top wineries in the province. There will be both silent and live auctions during the evening including what has become a tradition at the event: the Great Wall of B.C. Wine assembled by Tom Kennedy and his team. A flight and picnic lunch for you and your friends, a fishing adventure and a desert stay are some of the other items. There’ll even be a basket with a bottle of Mission Hill Family Estate 2010 Riesling icewine for the cook, a copy of Jude’s Kitchen and some other kitchen essentials on the silent auction table. You can also pick up a copy of my book at local bookstores and many local wineries and wine shops.

Willi's Seared Qualicum Scallops on Risotto Cakes Chef Willi Franz of the Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Estate Winery was named Canadian Chef of the Year by the Canadian Culinary Association last year, and he will be one of the chefs preparing dishes for this year’s Earth Wind and Fire. He recommends pairing this dish with the Gray Monk 2011 Odyssey White Meritage.
RISOTTO CAKES Crisp outside and creamy inside, these make the perfect base for a tasty scallop. 8 oz. (226 g) cooked risotto 1 oz. (30 g) butter 1 oz. (30 g) parmigianno cheese 1 c. (250 ml) Panko bread crumbs Cook rissotto, stirring in butter and grated parmigianno cheese to finish it.
Pour it into a pan large enough so it is one inch thick, cover and chill. When risotto is cold, cut into whatever shapes you wish. A round cake slightly larger than the scallops works well for this dish. Press the shapes into Panko bread crumbs to coat them on all sides. Fry the cakes until lightly browned and keep warm.
CARROT AND WHITE MERITAGE FOAM Sweet and tart, creamy and light, this lightens the richness of the scallop meat and risotto cake. 1/2 c. (125 ml) carrot juice 1/8 c. (30 ml) white meritage wine 1 tbsp. (15 ml) cold butter 1 tbsp. (15 ml) milk
Combine carrot juice and wine in a small pot and reduce over medium heat to a quarter cup of liquid. Whisk in the butter and milk and create a foam mixture with a hand blender.
ASPARAGUS MOUSSELINE Seasonal asparagus, with the zest of citrus, is a creamy accompaniment to fish. 6 stalks asparagus 3 tbsp. (45 ml) whipping cream 1 tsp. (5 ml) lemon juice 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) sugar salt and pepper, to taste Blanch the asparagus in salted water until tender and heat the cream in another pot. Use a blender to blend the hot cream, drained asparagus, lemon juice, sugar and
seasonings.
SEARED SCALLOPS Sweet and rich-tasting, meaty scallops are a seafood lovers' dream. 4 large scallops salt and pepper, to taste drizzle of oil Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Heat a frypan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add a drizzle of oil. Sear the scallops on one side until well-browned. Turn each over and brown the second side until just cooked through. This will take about two minutes a side. Arrange on the plates as shown in the photo. Serves 4.
