BALANCING ACT‌Grant Anderson jumps a log on his skin board in Sutherland Bay on Kelowna’s waterfront. ▟ B.C. CONSERVATIVE PARTY
Cummins: ‘The Liberals’ goose is cooked’ Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins says he’s not out to play spoiler to the Liberals in next year’s provincial election.
He says he’s in it to win it. Cummins’ resurgent B.C. Conservative Party— long dormant on the political scene here—has seen its popularity grow since he quit federal politics last year to lead the prov-
incial party. And, he says dissatisfaction with the Liberal government of Premier Christy Clark is helping his party grow in popularity, especially in the B.C. Interior. “Areas like this (the Okanagan) have always
been a natural fit for the Reform Party or the Conservatives,� said Cummins, a former federal Reform Party, Canadian Alliance and Conservative MP who represented ridings in the Vancouver suburb of Delta from 2003

While not ungrateful for the $2 million provincial contribution toward a replant program—an announcement staged in his orchard Wednesday afternoon—local orchardist Steve Day says what’s needed to keep agriculture afloat is far more support from both government and consumers. Standing among rows of young apple trees, with an apartment building under construction in the background on what was once farmland, Day admits that future generations will damn us for putting concrete and asphalt over such good growing land. But, he says it should not be on the farmer’s shoulders to protect farmland for future generations. “We should be supported. We’re protecting farmland for the future,� Day said. Yet farmers have to pay to protect their crop from the weather by buying crop insurance to preserve some income against whatever Mother Nature throws at them, he says, adding that farmers also have to compete in global markets and at home against fruit that doesn’t have to be grown under our labour laws, with our environmental regulations. “We compete against fruit that’s grown cheaper and with less regulation than ours is,� he said. “If we’re going to grow fruit in Canada and sell it in Canada there needs to be support for a Canadian market.� Instead, Day notes that imported fruit is brought in, even though it’s not grown under the same restrictions, and it competes in the market with locally-grown fruit, which costs more to produce. That results in inadequate returns for Canadian farmers. B.C. farmers are tied to the Agricultural Land Reserve and have to pay for a government-supported pest control program, the Sterile Insect Release program, instead of it being fully government supported, he noted. Despite being tied to the land, farmers also have to pay taxes on irrigation to farm it, and then on packing facilities to pack the fruit, while growers in other countries receive subsidies for such services.

NEWS ▼ CAMPING IN THE BUSH
Partying vandals sought out by authorities Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It could end up being a very expensive bush party weekend for some young people. Fines for some of the offences committed at Spring Lake, west of Peachland, over the Victoria Day long weekend range from a minimum of $173 to thousands of dollars, according to conservation officer Mike Stern. Although they are ticketable offences, each could also proceed to court where much higher fines could result. The fine for burning prohibited materials such as plastics is a minimum of $575, as is the fine for damaging habitat below the high water mark; and there are $345 fines for abandoning a campfire and for lighting, fueling or using a campfire that is larger than a half-metre by a half-metre. “Anyone near an oversized campfire is responsible for it; not just whoever started it,” Stern noted. There are also fines of $173 for destruction of Crown timber and $115 for discharge of litter, whether that’s a paper cup, a couch or a beer can tossed into a lake. The same size fine is due for building an unauthorized structure on Crown land. And, all those offences were committed at Spring Lake over the weekend, where a party of 60 to 80 people pitched their tents and parked their cars, trucks and trailers for a three-day party,
leaving behind a trail of destruction and garbage, ranging from broken chairs, couches and tents to beer cans, bottles and trash. In the process, they hacked down live trees, built crude structures, drove into the lake, built large fires and left some of them smoldering when they vacated what once was a peaceful little wilderness fishing lake. It is legal to camp on Crown land, even when it’s not a recreation site, but turning a patch of wilderness into a landfill site is not. Local hunter and angler James Springer and a friend drove to Spring Lake on the weekend and warned the partying young people to clean up the area before they left. He took a video of his visit and has posted it on YouTube. However, when he returned to the site on Monday, the people were gone, but the mess was unbelievable. “I’ve been to Spring Lake many times to fish when I was growing up and it looked quite different from what it does now. It’s ridiculous. It’s vandalism on a massive scale,” he commented. “Those people should be charged and they should clean it up. They should take responsibility for their actions,” There are licence plate numbers visible on the videos, he said, and he has forwarded the videos to the Conservation Officer Service. View them at: http://www.youtube.

com/watch?v=qa1gpHB7 VPg&feature=relmfu and http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=6Vj4gl66leg. Stern said they have reviewed the video and are investigating. Any information would be welcomed through the Report all Poachers and Polluters hotline at 1-877-95227277(RAPP) and it can be reported anonymously, said Stern. Stern pointed out that with today’s social media links, people should be aware that information can be disseminated quickly and widely and be very damaging. When such events as this occur, he said if those who created the mess don’t clean it up, sometimes a local fish and game club or the regional district will step in, but
there’s no one responsible except those who caused the damage, unless there’s a court-imposed clean-up. In fact, Springer returned Wednesday to Spring Lake to see if any of the mess had been cleaned up, and some of the debris had been piled
on a fire and burned. He picked up two couches, a hideabed and an upholstered chair in his truck to take to the dump, but he said there’s still a mess of beer cans and junk left there. Enforcement staff from several ministries
were out in the back country over the long weekend and Sgt. Josh Lockwood of the CO Service said it was pretty busy. There was also vandalism at Noisy Creek in the North Okanagan, where charges were laid and alcohol and a
prohibited weapon were seized. Otherwise, in the Vernon area, he said nine tickets were written and 18 warnings issued. As well, three criminal investigations resulted, including one of timber theft. A grizzly bear sow was also shot illegally and left on Mabel Lake Road, he reported. In the area of the Bear Creek Off-Highway Vehicle recreation site, a number of tickets were given out for dirt bikes without spark arresters and warnings issued for no facility passes, along with failure to have a helmet. There were also charges in the Postill Lake Road area for destruction of habitat and other offences and there were a number of charges and warnings given out by patrols on the Aberdeen Plateau. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
College opens its doors to public for used computer inventory sale It will be a buyer’s paradise at Okanagan College on Saturday as more than 200 PCs, 50 monitors and other electronics will be among numerous items up for sale at the
Okanagan College Garage Sale on the Kelowna campus. The garage sale takes place from 8 a.m. to noon in the automotive shop, held in conjunction with
the Regional Waste Reduction Office’s second annual Trunk Sale at parking lot 17. Angelika March, assistant to the regional dean at Okanagan College,
said the computer sale is a great opportunity for the public. “Computers will be going for $20, and we have 15-inch monitors for $5,” she said. “There
are also a few printers and projectors available for $20 each, but you’ll have to come early to grab those.” The sale also features many other used college
items, including bookshelves, desks, chairs, filing cabinets and even some carpentry equipment. The maximum price for any item in the college
garage sale will be $20. All purchases are sold on an “as is” basis. Funds raised will go to benefit future Okanagan College sustainability initiatives.

Domestic abuse stats put negative spotlight on Kelowna Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Local frontline workers are issuing a call to ac-
tion in light of a report that ranks Kelowna third nationwide for incidents of domestic violence. The Statistics Can-
ada figures released Tuesday shows Kelowna had 346 police-reported victims per 100,000 people in 2010, which places the
city behind Saint John, N.B., and Saskatoon, Sask., respectively. It ranks Kelowna first in B.C., followed closely

by Abbotsford. “We have a community that needs to improve its response to family violence,” said Amy Thompson, co-ordinator of the Elizabeth Fry Society. “There are a lot of women living in intolerable, unsafe conditions and so are their children. “These statistics show the women who are coming forward to seek support and safety from the criminal justice system, but it doesn’t reflect what’s unreported.” Moving forward, Thompson said she’d like to see these stats used as fuel for funding resources that victims of abuse can access. “What would help would be having more specialized domestic violence workers,” she said. The RCMP has employed one domestic violence officer since 2009. Their aim is to provide guidance to general duty investigators on appropriate structure, mandate and file criteria for the Kelowna, Lake Country and West Kelowna detachments. From there, general duty officers are tasked with investigating cases of domestic violence on an ongoing basis. “It’s not enough,” said Thompson, noting that it’s disheartening that the city recently announced plans to increase the local police force by 11, but didn’t highlight a domestic abuse specialist as a priority. Also falling short of meeting demand is the Elizabeth Fry Society itself. It has two specialized victims’ service workers, but Thompson said a case could easily be made to hire more. “They’re run off their feet. It’s not right to sit in front of a woman who’s not safe and not have enough time and resour-
‘‘

ces to help them with what they need.” Thompson added there are ways the courts could better deal with incidents of domestic violence. “Some communities have dedicated court days and specialized Crown prosecutors,” she said. “In Nanaimo there are domestic violence court days, and there’s been a marked improvement in offender accountability and co-ordination.” Unfortunately, said Thompson, both federal and provincial governments have cut spending for programs that have proven to be helpful in curtailing the cycle of violence. Although Stats Canada figures and the dayto-day view of frontline workers paint a grim picture of what many local women are facing, RCMP Const. Kris Clark said it’s important to take note of the positive side of these numbers. “Does the high reporting show high incidence of violence or did victims maybe just feel more comfortable and confident with reporting?” he asked. Although local Mounties only have one dedicated domestic violence officer, they’ve rolled out an educational campaign aimed at making sure women who are at risk know the resources avail-
able to them. They’ve also trained general duty members who are first on site the best practices for dealing with domestic violence. Those factors combined could be why there’s a higher rate of reporting. Not dismissing statistics entirely, however, Clark also noted that 2010, the year the statistics are pulled from, offered a particularly high number of cases of domestic violence. In the first four months of this year compared to 2010, there was a 35 per cent decrease in reports of domestic violence, he said. “Was 2010 an anomaly or was 2012 an anomaly? It’s hard to say,” he said. “The important thing to note is that domestic violence oftentimes goes unreported. “It takes an average of 20 incidents before the victim comes to us.… Anyone who has experience should call their local police, right away.” According to police-reported data, about 99,000 Canadians were victims of family violence in 2010. Of these, almost 50 per cent were committed by their spouse. An additional 17 per cent were committed by a parent, 14 per cent by an extended family member, 11 per cent by a sibling and nine per cent by a child, usually a grown child. B.C. was 10th nationally with 302 reported cases per 100,000 population while Ontario had the lowest rate, 196 reported cases per 100,000 population. Nunavut had the most reported cases, 3,409 per 100,000 population. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Hydro rate reduction raises questions
T
he provincial government has done a good thing in scaling back BC Hydro rate increases. The way it is doing so raises more questions than answers. On Tuesday, Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced that the government was cancelling a B.C. Utilities Commission hearing into Hydro rate increases, which have already been scaled back from the 50 per cent premium increases which were initially proposed about two years ago. At that time, the rate in-
creases were suggested to allow for introduction of the smart meter program, purchase of private power under long-term contracts and major capital expenses, including turbine installation at several dams and other upgrades. When Coleman was named energy minister under new Premier Christy Clark, she asked that he review Hydro’s plans. The review said that the smart meter program should stay, and that other projects should proceed, but also said that rates
250-763-7114 DELIVERY 250-763-7575
didn’t need to go up as steeply. Hydro then asked for an eight per cent increase in 2012, 3.91 per cent in 2013 and 3.91 per cent in 2014. Planned increases had been 9.73 per cent each year. On Tuesday, Coleman said Hydro received an eight per cent increase in 2011 and a 3.91 per cent increase in 2012, along with a rate rider of five per cent. The government is now saying it wants a 1.44 per cent increase in 2013, making the rate increase 17 per cent over three years. There was no word of what is
planned in 2014 or beyond. Why is there a B.C. Utilities Commission, if the government can simply override its mandate? Perhaps the biggest question is this: Is this all politics, in preparation for the 2013 provincial election? Is the 2013 rate increase being kept artificially low on the expectation that the NDP will win government, as polls suggest? Is this a time bomb being left by the current government for what may be a new government? So far, there are no clear answers.

Premier bitten by pest problem that won’t go away P
remier Christy Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office. A year ago, the newly appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the harmonized sales tax. Newly appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban folks, a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.” All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody in 2003. 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. Lib-
eral Party after the taxcutting, regulation-repealing decade of Gordon Campbell. 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, and one could see what was coming. Bennett is the rifle-toting outdoorsman who recently 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
Clark to co-chair the VICTORIA by B.C. Liberal Party polVIEWS icy committee for next
year’s election, a strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the B.C. ConTom servative threat. Bennett concludFletcher ed 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. That statement is both politically dangerous and absolutely correct. I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when en-
vironmentalists fought 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 know little or nothing about chemistry and refuse to believe this. It’s part of the scientific nonsense trend that has grown in B.C. society for decades. We have parents turning their backs on routine immunization because of superstitions about vaccines. We have people panicked about imag-
inary health effects of smart meters, egged on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting. The parallels between local government responses to smart meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against “pesticides” is telling. As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mum is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.” Few have the courage to stand up to that. The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the

LETTERS ▼ MILITARY SUICIDES
Legion disappointed at National Defense cuts to operational health research To the editor: At the same time that the Department of National Defense admitted that the numbers of suicide incidents in the Canadian Forces have risen, how is it possible that the department is eliminating the jobs of medical professionals involved in suicide prevention and monitoring of post-traumatic stress disorders? They are actually reducing the number of ep-
idemiologists and researchers who analyze mental health issues. This government has previously asserted that dealing with such health issues is a priority. How can the government announce on the one hand that it appreciates the sacrifices made by our veterans and then turn around and cut the services and research efforts needed to treat those same men and women, at a time when
they need it most? The Royal Canadian Legion is extremely concerned with this move, especially with the increase of suicide incidents in the Canadian Forces. The full extent of the cases of mental illness, arising from the heavy operational tempo in the Balkans and Afghanistan, has not likely been felt yet. The government and Canadians have sent these men and women to deploy
and serve in these missions abroad and therefore have a moral obligation to ensure they are properly cared for once they return. The announced cuts give the government a failing grade. Without operational research in this area, Canada will be forced to resort to reactive treatment while abandoning the proactive education and prevention of mental illness to our troops. It is unacceptable that
these cuts been made on the backs of our most vulnerable and mentally ill soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen. There is no better way to demonstrate their commitment to support the men and women who serve their country than by not making these cuts. Patricia Varga, Dominion president, Royal Canadian Legion

▼ KELOWNA MOUNTAIN
Condescension in column puzzling to newcomer To the editor: Re: Project Offers Work, Not the Jobs We Need, by Capital News reporter Jennifer Smith, May 18. Ms. Smith offers her opinions as to why the Kelowna Mountain project should not be welcome in our community. She quite rightly states that the Central Okanagan needs more variety in its industries and jobs. However, she appears to believe that this existing shortfall is, by itself, reason enough to forestall the Kelowna Mountain project. She says that after construction is finished, “the construction crews will again be out of work and the engineers and planners will be looking elsewhere for contracts.” Yes, that is true. But that is, by definition, the nature of construction work. Would she rather have those construction workers, engineers and planners who wish to live
in this region be forced to look for work elsewhere right now instead of in two to three years? What’s wrong with providing 2,000 jobs right here, right now? Too many trades people from Kelowna are currently forced to look for work far from home. Wouldn’t it be nice for at least some of them to be able to find decent work that is close enough for them to be at home with their families every night? Also, her statement that the permanent jobs will only be “for the odd teenager and housewife” seems more than a little condescending. She claims that this is not “valuable, community-sustaining employment.” But let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. Even if the only people who will be hired permanently are, in fact, “only” teenagers and housewives (which I seriously doubt would be the case), then so what?
Given the number of secondary and post-secondary students looking for work in Kelowna and given the number of families who count on two incomes to support themselves, what’s wrong with employing teenagers and housewives? The more demand there exists for workers of all types, the more that all wages will be driven upward thus benefiting everyone who is in the labour force. Provided the jobs pay competitive wages with safe and decent working conditions, then there’s no such thing as a bad job. Then maybe, just maybe, some entrepreneurial type person (who Ms. Smith seems to be looking for) will look at Kelowna in the very near future, with its wineries, golf courses, art galleries, ski hills and facilities like Kelowna Mountain, and decide this is the perfect place to put his/

her business. I’m not saying “build it and they will come,” but I don’t think it can hurt in that regard. Ms. Smith also believes that snow making requirements will “drain precious water resources.” As I write this, I’m looking at a lake containing billions of gallons of water. I can’t imagine how pumping a very small fraction of that water up the mountain and making snow with it in the winter, resulting in runoff draining back into the lake in the spring will “rape the land” or “destroy the natural environment.” There may be, in fact, good reasons why this project should not proceed. However, Ms. Smith has not put forth much in the way of a convincing argument. Also, I find Ms. Smith’s apparent dislike for “Eastern retirees and overseas landowners” to be puzzling. Since I am retired and from Saskatchewan, I guess I am part of that demographic. But, I don’t know what I have done to earn her contempt. Since moving to
Kelowna 20 months ago, my wife and I have started a business, have joined the Chamber of Commerce, have made sizable charitable donations in both time and money, have volunteered a number of times as a guest speaker at the Business School at Okanagan College, and have delivered a seminar to small business owners to help them take advantage of our combined 60 years of business experience. Add to that the money that we have spent on furniture, vehicles, house renovations and yard upgrades etc., and I think that we have made a significant positive contribution to the region. If Ms. Smith’s objection to our presence has something to do with the tired old mantra of house prices being driven too high by “newcomers,” all I can say is that the people from whom we bought our house didn’t seem to mind the price that we paid. Lloyd Vinish, Kelowna
Most ‘cosmetic’ pesticide use is for agriculture, commercial Express yourself Fletcher from A6 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 of it 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 gesture 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 peo-
ple who live in those areas don’t farm. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Funding boost for replant program Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Growers willing to invest in replanting their orchards to new varieties of more marketable apples have the support of $2 million from the province over the next three years to help them with the cost. B.C.’s Agriculture Minister Don McRae was
in Kelowna on Wednesday afternoon to make the announcement, standing among the young apple trees on the Day orchard, flanked by all three local MLAs and RichmondSteveston MLA John Yap. While McRae admitted frankly that he didn’t even know what replant meant when he took on his current cabinet post,
he said as a history teacher he realizes that orcharding is an important industry in the province’s heritage. “Replanting would benefit the whole region,” he noted, helping the industry grow their markets across the country. Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart said the industry is facing fiercer competition than ever

before, and it needs to address that. The replant program is a starting point to meet that challenge, he said. It’s a commitment in the agriculture sector and should help the Okanagan maintain its reputation for growing great apples, added Okanagan-Mission MLA Steve Thomson. Although the assistance will help growers, Kirpal Boparai, a Kelowna orchardist and president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, was blunt about the importance of this three-year funding being continued beyond that time frame. “We grow the best fruit in the world, particularly Ambrosia and Gala apples, thanks in part to Mother Nature,” he commented. He noted that the industry is not only important on its own, but also to the valley’s tourism industry. He estimated it costs in the neighbourhood of $20,000 an acre for growers to replant to highdensity apple trees, plus the farmer’s own labour, and this funding will only help with a portion of those costs. A survey of growers completed this spring indicated orchardists are committed to stay in the industry if replant funding is available, so he said the industry really appreciates the support. There has been a replant assistance program available in the past, but it ended last year. The program flows from the ministry’s Agrifoods Strategy. Its goal is to expand domestic markets through high-quality products by targeting premium varieties such as Ambrosia and red strains of Gala apples, said Mc-

B.C. AGRICULTURE Minister Don McRae was at a Kelowna orchard on Wednesday to announce funding for a seed replanting program. Rae. The program includes a grafting and budding component which helps to get new trees into production faster. It will be administered
by the BCFGA, which also administered the previous program, in partnership with the Investment Agriculture Foundation. Applications will be
reviewed by a panel and will be more directed than the previous program, to ensure the best varieties are grown in the best locations.
A need to save farmland Help from A1 Most people go to the grocery store and pick out their produce based on its price, but if they only bought B.C.-grown fruit, it could have a huge impact on local farmers— and the farmland they are protecting, he said. The Day family has been farming in Kelowna since the 1800s. Steve Day’s grandfather came to Summerland in 1884 and moved to Kelowna some years later. Currently, Day and his brother and mother farm 120 acres on Byrns Road in Kelowna. Other members of the Day family still own and operate farms in other parts of the city. “It’s in your blood. It’s who you are,” said Day, explaining why he still farms, even though the returns are low. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

On June 2, the public is invited to a variety of events, including a heritage classroom historical photo display, children’s art display, fire hall, fire safety house, vintage vehicles and a display of the 75th anniversary time capsule’s contents (1987) unearthed on April 12 along with a DVD presentation of the unearthing.

ZOE NIXON operates a home-based glutten-free product bakery in Kelowna called Sin Grano Ancient Grains Bakery. Bakery, which means “without grain” in Spanish, specializes in 100 percent gluten-free products. With support from Community Futures, Nixon saw the need to provide healthy, great tasting gluten-free bread and baked goods, perfecting the products for five months before putting them into the market. Great tasting products are exactly what she is producing. Among some of her products are Sun-Flax or Buck-Qui bread, Ciabatta and chocolate brownies, which I have tasted. They are unbelievably delicious. Her goal this year is to expand the company into larger retail stores, restaurants and Internet sales. The products are already offered through a number of local businesses, including Urban Harvest (Saturday’s-Crowley Ave.), Fresh Green Grocer (Lakeshore Road) and the Organic Cupboard.

Request by gangster for minimum security jail denied Kathy Michaels
high-ranking member of the Independent Soldiers, had been at the minimum security Ferndale Institution until January but “imminent threats” prompted a safety warning from the Mounties and a subsequent prison upgrade. At the time, his case management team admitted being detained in a
STAFF REPORTER
A Kelowna-based gangster serving a six year sentence for various drug and weapons offences was recently denied his request to be housed in a minimum security prison. Donald Lyons, whom the courts describe as a

S H O E S
minimum security institution would give Lyons the best odds for reintegration upon release, but “public safety remains the mandate of the Correctional Service of Canada.” “A transfer to a medium security institution is the only available option to provide the degree and kind of custody and control necessary to respond to the risk that Mr. Lyons currently presents,” reads a report from
the prison. With that directive Lyons was transferred to the Mission Institution, but not without some resistance. The inmate raised concerns about the validity of the decision, noting he “did not have any enemies inside or outside the prison, and he did not have any outstanding debts.” The warden reviewed the transfer upon Lyons’ urging; however, she too
decided Lyons’ gang involvement couldn’t be underestimated, especially considering the string of gang-related violent outbursts around B.C. in recent months. Dissatisfied with that decision, Lyons took the case to court, applying for an order to be returned to a minimum security prison, and for information into the identity of the person who tipped police off to the so-called threat.
Ultimately questions about the validity of the transfer didn’t work in Lyons’ favour, as a Supreme Court Justice found the warden’s decision to be reasonable at the end of March. In fact, Supreme Court Justice Bruce Butler said they “were intelligible, transparent, and justifiable in light of the information set out in the Assessment for Decision.” Lyons will continue
serving a six-year aggregate sentence for various offences relating to drug trafficking and possession of prohibited or restricted weapons in a medium security prison. Those offences arose from his involvement as a high-ranking and trusted member of the “Independent Soldiers”, a criminal organization based in the Kelowna area. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

support away from the Liberals to allow the NDP to win. In the 1991 election, Wilson’s Liberals took 14 seats and enough votes away from the governing Social Credit Party that the NDP won the first of two consecutive majorities in the Legislature. By the time the 1996 election rolled around, the Liberals had replaced Wilson with Gordon Campbell, the Social Credit Party has disintegrated and many of its supporters, as well as some former MLAs, had fled to the B.C. Liberals. The Liberals lost the 1996 election—which it was expected to win— to the Glen Clark-led NDP. But five years later, Campbell’s Liberals won the first of its three consecutive majority governments. Campbell quit as leader, and premier, last year and was replaced by Christy Clark. But Cummins said apart from the short-lived bounce in popularity the Liberals enjoyed with the arrival of Clark, public sentiment appears to have turned against that party and his Conservatives stand ready to fill the void. “The Liberals’ goose
John Cummins is cooked,” Cummins told the Capital News prior to holding a town hall meeting in Kelowna last night to drum up support here. “There’s no real agenda, no real vision for B.C.,” he said of Liberals plans, adding disenchantment with the Clark government, especially in the B.C. Interior, is helping fuel his party growth in popularity. Currently holding steady at around 20 per cent pubic opinion polls, the Conservatives feel confident that heading into next May’s provincial election, they will be the right-of-centre alternative to the NDP, not the Liberals. Cummins said despite Conservative candidates coming third in last month’s two MLA byelections in ChilliwackHope and Port Moody-
Coquitlam, he was pleased with the effort and it was a good “dry run” for the upcoming provincial election. Both ridings were won by the NDP. Locally, his party has not selected candidates for the Kelowna-Lake Country, Kelowna-Mission or Westside-Kelowna ridings but some would-be candidates, including former Kelowna councillor Graeme James (KelownaLake Country) and businessman Mike McLoughlin (Kelowna-Mission) have announced publicly that they intend to seek the nominations. Cummins said no dates have been set for nomination meetings and while some Conservative riding associations are ready to go now, he would prefer nomination meetings not take place before the fall as a year is too long to be an effective candidate. Still, he is touring the province spreading the Conservative message that B.C. must gets its fiscal house in order, cut its spending and stem the flow of people leaving the province by creating good-paying jobs here. One of the ways he says that can be done is by supporting federal initiatives to streamline en-
vironmental approval processes to allow natural resource projects to proceed. And that will affect areas in the B.C. Interior, where Cummins says much of the province’s wealth is created. Another is by listening to small business, which has been hit by Liberal decisions such as elimination of a 2.5 per cent small business tax reduction in its recent budget and proposing a Family Day holiday in February, something Cummins says is a “warm and fuzzy” idea but will cost small business for a day of lost productivity. “How can (the government) deny teachers a pay increase when they are paying (provincial employees) to take a day off?” Following last week’s inaugural meeting of B.C. mayors in Penticton, and their demand for a better deal for municipalities, Cummins said the mayors should be listened to. “We have to work together. We have to strike a balance,” he said. “If you want to butt heads, that’s an easy thing to do. But it’s not very productive.” Cummins was scheduled to meet supporters in Kelowna last night.

Potential buyer for Fintry Queen trying to make a deal Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Andy Schwabb hopes that everything old can be new again. The man who used to operate the Fintry Queen, and who has been trying to find a someone to buy the idled paddlewheeler, may have found a possible buyer—himself. “I’m offering myself up to the sea gods,” he said. “I’m trying to do something that will be ac-
ceptable to the city.” Schwabb has told the city he is considering a bid to buy the ship, but in order for that to be successful, his offer would have to be accepted by the courts. Schwabb has been acting for the court-appointed seller, Greg Chessor of Calgary, who was awarded the right to sell the vessel because he holds a large mortgage on the boat. Schwabb told the Capital News on Wednesday
that he had not submitted the offer yet but thinks he can raise the financing needed to return the Fintry Queen to its former popularity. Last week, Mayor Walter Gray told a local radio station their its plans for the vessel or the city would tow it to Sutherland Bay and bill the owner. The city wants the Fintry Queen removed from the dock where it has sat since 2008 to make way for a new downtown mar-
ina. The final design of that marina has yet to be presented and only then can the approvals required from the provincial and federal governments to do the work be applied for. The city has said it wants the marina open in time for the 2013 boating season. Schwabb said he has told the City Hall of his interest and said it appears the city is willing to listen to his plan. Kelowna is current-
ly owed $80,000 in back moorage fees. The city’s property manager Ron Forbes confirmed negotiations are continuing but did not identify any potential buyer. No matter who ends up with the vessel, Schwabb said he realizes it will have to be moved to make way for the new marina. He said if he is successful, he would try to raise money to build a new dock for the Fintry Queen
Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™
Still Def ying The Odds
Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being. UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.
Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.” People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”
Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into theatmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.
Extraordinary benefits have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years. UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com

Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.
Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”

Murder trial delays frustrating to judge Kathy Michaels
Advertorial
UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

The Kelowna man charged with Brittney Irving’s 2010 murder was told Tuesday that he better get legal representation soon because the wheels of justice are ready to roll, regardless. Joe Verma appeared in court via video link May 22 morning for the latest of a string of court dates aimed at sorting out the details for his upcoming trial. During his previous appearance, the court learned Verma’s Calgary based lawyer had dropped his case, so the matter was adjourned for three weeks. This time legal counsel for Verma was also absent, prompting Crown Counsel Iain Currie to set a new path forward. At a May 28 court date, Verma should have his lawyer present or Currie will introduce measures to set a court date in the absence of counsel. Prodding Verma to make sure he was clear on the way forward, Justice Peter Rogers reiterated that point. “On Monday next, expect some fairly firm guidelines and timeframes established for your case, whether you have a lawyer or not,” the judge said. “Do you understand that?” Verma leaned back in his chair and then replied: “Yes I do.” Verma, 31, has been in custody since June 25, 2010, following a high profile investigation into the death of Irving. Family members reported her missing April 7, 2010 after a drug transaction gone awry. Her body was found a few weeks later.
Parolee back in jail Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A Kelowna man who went to prison after a 2010 shooting at a notorious June Springs Road home is back behind bars after an unsuccessful run at freedom. Daniel Bellemarre, 51, had been released from prison Jan. 14, after serving a two year sentence for aggravated assault and use of a firearm, relating to an incident that left one man with a gunshot wound in his foot. Bellemarre was still under probation, and subject to conditions ranging from not consuming drugs or alcohol to bans from telecommunications devices. Just two weeks later, however, he was in contravention of those terms.The Parole Board of Canada was alerted to errant behaviour after a call from Bellemarre’s girlfriend. Apparently he’d stopped taking medication, was experiencing anxiety and stress and sleeping in his truck. At a subsequent meeting with his supervisor, Bellemarre expressed fears that he’d been poisoned from the contents of a salt shaker within which, he said, there may have been PCP. A urinalysis test was given, and Feb. 8, it came back positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine and cocaine metabolite. An interview within correctional facilities prompted the board to decide that Bellemarre demonstrated unwillingness to be honest, continued to minimize the risk he poses to the community when using drugs, associated with criminally minded peers and failed to follow through with release plans. Bellemarre will stay in prison until July 1, which is his next statutory release date.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 yourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

SPORTS Locals shine at Canadian Masters Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A pair of local swim clubs made the most of the comforts of home at the 2012 edition of the Canadian Masters Swimming Championships. The host Okanagan Masters Swim Club, represented by 35 members, placed a convincing second out of 86 clubs from across Canada and the U.S. last weekend at Kelowna’s H2O Fitness and Adventure Centre. In addition, Kelowna’s five-member Wine Country Masters Swim Club won 18 medals to capture the team title for small clubs (Division 3). A third local club, the Westside Thunder, also competed and was 43rd overall. The OMSC, competing without several key members, was second only in team competition
to the Edmonton Masters Swim Club. “Second place was an excellent result for our club,” said Jeanette Hoft, a competitor and spokesman for OSMC. “(Canadian record holder) Carmelle Guidi-Swan wasn’t competing because of an injury, and two of our other athletes weren’t competing, so we did very well. With big clubs like Edmonton and Victoria here, we did well for a relatively small area. “I have to credit our coaches, too,” Hoft added. “They did a wonderful job with all of us.” The three-day national competition featured 510 swimmers—between the ages of 19 and 93—mostly from across Canada and the U.S., and from as far way as the United Kingdom and France. In a very fast H2O pool, two new worlds record were set along with
26 new Canadian marks and 12 new B.C. standards. The Victoria Masters team set a new world standard in the women’s (200239) medley relay, while Deke Botsford of Campbell River Grey Whales established a new world time for the men’s 100m Fly (age group 45-49). Seasoned swimmers, Fred Schulhof of North Shore Masters and Hugh McGregor of Victoria Crystal Silver Streaks, both 93, cut the ceremonial opening ribbon with Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray before diving back into the pool. With the help of many tireless volunteers and the support of the community, Hoft said organizers couldn’t have asked for a much better weekend of competition and camaraderie. “We have such a wonderful facility in H2O,

Haftner King of the Hill—again Whenever John Haftner decides to attend the Knox Mountain Hillclimb, the outcome is pretty much a foregone conclusion. For the 10th time since 1989, the 71-year-old from New Westminster took King of the Hill honours at the 55th edition of the race over the weekend in Kelowna with a time of one minute 41.694 seconds. Haftner, who drives a Tui-Vee, is also the all-time record holder for the fatest run at the 2.2-mile Turner VW Knox Hillclimb with a clocking of 1:37.065 in 2007. “When John comes, no one can beat him,” said Allen Reid, a longtime driver and organizer of the hillclimb.

Kelowna hosts B.C. high school rugby playoffs The Okanagan Mission Secondary Huskies and Kelowna Christian Knights will have home-pitch advantage for the first round of the B.C. high school boys rugby playoffs. Teams ranked from No. 5 through No. 12 in the province will be in Kelowna this Saturday to compete for spots in the quarterfinal round the following week. At 1 p.m. Saturday at Parkinson, the ninthranked Knights will battle No. 8 Mulgrave from West Vancouver. Then at 2:30, the Okanagan AA champion Huskies, ranked sixth, will take on Windsor High School from North Vancouver. Also competing Saturday are L.V. Rogers, Southridge High School,
Vernon Secondary and Hugh McRoberts. Last week, the OKM Huskies downed KCS 31-5 to win the valley AA boys title. Graeme McKay, Andrew Barr and Alex Bortolon scored tries in the first half and Trevor Swaisland booted two conversions for a 19-0 OKM halftime lead. Zander Norman and Jordan McGowan added tries in the second half for OKM, while the Knights countered with a score from Johnny Weiler to avoid the shutout.
TOUCH RUGBY… Local rugby enthusiasts have big plans for touch rugby in the summer of 2012. League organizers expect to run two summer competitions for adults
this season. The Elite League will be a competitive league to compete for the Dai Dobbs Cup, emblematic of touch rugby supremacy in the Central Okanagan. The Rec League will provide a place for new players and those whose boots are a little dusty to have some fun and enjoy the fast, fitness-oriented game of touch. “Last year, teams of top local players had an easy time with those teams who were just learning the game,” said Doug Manning, one of the league organizers. “This year, we hope to offer two leagues to keep all games competitive.” The game of touch rugby is played by more than a million adults worldwide, most of them playing south of the equa-
tor. Six players are on the field for each team, with a minimum of two men and two women at all times. Players try to score ‘touchdowns’ on their opponent, while running forward and passing the ball laterally or backwards. When a player is touched, the runner returns to the place of contact and restarts the attack. Each team gets six ‘touches’ before they have to give up the ball to the other team. Games are 30 minutes long. Each team plays two games an evening. “Touch rugby involves the running, passing, and team play of traditional rugby but none of the contact,” said Manning. “It is a speed game that requires quality team play, and lots of running with the ball. Anyone who has
ever enjoyed the pace of good rugby play, or those who would like to experience it, can have great fun playing touch.” The league will have a meeting of all team leaders in the next couple of weeks. If you are interested in putting a team in the league, or are interested in joining a team, contact Doug Manning dmanning@corerugby.com. League fees are around $25/player for the sixweek summer league. “We’re lucky to have Rusty’s Steakhouse and Sports Bars as a league sponsor,” said Manning. “Their support enables us to run the league at very little cost to the players. We hope this encourages family members to join together and come out and play this fun, fitness-oriented game.”

Allison to join Heat for 2012-13 season After a season spent practicing with the UBC Okanagan women’s basketball team, Sarah Allison is ready for genuine Canada West game action with the Heat this fall. A 5-foot-10 guard, the Elgin Park grad is expected to add another dimension to Heather Semeniuk’s squad in 2012-13. In her Grade 12 year, Sarah was the Fraser Valley championship MVP. As a member of the B .C. team for three straight years, culminating with a national silver medal at
the Canada Games in PEI in 2009, Sarah was courted by schools all over the country. She settled on the University of Calgary joining the Dinos following her senior year in high school. The Alberta school landed Allison because she liked the Dinos uptempo style of play, Sarah averaged 12 minutes a game in her first year on the veteran squad. “I’ve always played a fast paced game, I love to press, I love to run the floor,” said Allison. This uptempo style will be something the
Heat will look to do this year as coach Semeniuk looks to rotate a strong group of guards with veteran posts Roz Huber and Krystal Schouten. “I find that because we are an undersized team, especially in the CIS, that is going to have to be a big stress this year, we are going to have to make up for size in other ways, Allison said. “I’m excited to do that and be a part of that.” Heat head coach Heather Semeniuk said Allison’s addition will provide a number of coaching options.

pursue education now, trying to get into medicine, so I’m done with competitive soccer in that regard. Q: Are there any lessons that you learned from soccer that you think will serve you well in that future career? A: Time management, that’s for sure, trying to do academics and athletics at the same time. There’s all kinds of stuff: communication, leadership, too. Q: What do you do
outside of soccer? A: Well to be honest, for the past five years it’s just been school and, when I come home in the summer just work, doing construction for the summer and studying for the MCAT which I’m going to write in August. Q: Is working in construction a good way to get fit for the soccer season? A: Yeah, it’s nice to be active in that regard and
learn some new trades that will be useful in life. Q: How is the team bouncing back mentally after starting off the season with two losses? It can’t be easy... A: I wasn’t here this weekend. I just got back, so tuesday was my first practice: we’re just trying to put it behind us. It seems like we’ve had a couple good sessions here and we’ve got a bunch of guys coming back next week, so we’ll take it from there. Q: Do you think, being a veteran, having you back will give the team a bit of a boost? A: I hope so. That’s all I can say about that. We’ll see how the weekend pans out and, hopefully, I can give us a bit of a spark.
Allison right at home Heat B’ball A21 got and structure the team accordingly,” Semeniuk said. “One thing I will say is Sarah will be a dangerous player for us in an uptempo game, she can really shoot the ball and also score in transition.” “One of my roles this year will be a shooter,” confirms Allison, but she also plans to bring a large set of intangibles specifically “my competitive drive, that is something I pride myself on. I
want to also bring some sort of leadership role as I pride myself on being a great teammate and a hard worker.” Sarah’s first time in Kelowna was when she showed up in September to start her human kinetics program, this straight A student had never met her teammates nor her coach in anything more than a phone call and found that she fit right in. “Since coming to UBC Okanagan I have felt not only welcomed
by coach Sem, my teammates and the athletic program, but also as if I am valued. The Heat encourage player development and foster close and professional bonds between your teammates and your coaches,” adds Allison on her red shirt year on campus. “It was just so positive, and the atmosphere just kind of rekindled my desire to play again—by Christmas I was antsy on the bench already to get into a uniform.”

SPORTS ▼ SKATING
Eight medals for Kelowna skaters Kelowna Skating Club members claimed eight medals at the BC/YT Section Super Series Victoria Day Interclub competition in Surrey. Kelowna skaters had excellent results at all levels of the high profile event, which is the first Super Series event of the new season. Of the 18 local skaters that participated, 16 had top-five finishes. A highlight for the KSC occurred in the very competitive Novice Women’s category, as 14 year-old Julianne Delaurier scored a personal
best 105.94 points in a decisive victory. Kelowna’s Priscilla Sabang finished with the bronze medal thanks to a personal best score of 92.35 points. The Junior Women’s event consisted of a very deep field of 17 skaters. Kelowna skaters made an impact in taking five of the top six placements, including Haley Sales and Jayda Jurome winning the silver and bronze medals, respectively. The pair of skaters had a busy month, as they were also invited to participate in the Skate Canada National Development Camp at To-
ronto earlier this month. At the Juvenile level, 10 year-old Ajsha Gorman captured the gold medal in group 2, while club mate Rochelle Reeve finished with the silver in group 1. Meanwhile, at the PreJuvenile level, 9-yearold Olivia Gran skated to a personal best score of 28.63 points in winning the gold medal in her group. A young pair of 8-year-old Kelowna skaters, Daria Carr and Mikayla Consiglio, skated to third and fourth place finishes, respectively, in the
group 1 of Preliminary Women. “These are very good results for this time of year, although the results aren’t necessarily our main objective,” noted KSC Director Jason Mongrain. “It is early in the season, so this event gave our skaters the opportunity to put some mileage on some new elements and programs.”
FULL RESULTS: Preliminary Women group 1: Daria Carr 3rd; Mikayla Consiglio 4th Pre-Juvenile Women group 1: Olivia Gran 1st

TAYA SKARBO delivers a pitch for the Kelowna Heat against Victoria during the Canadian Pride and Power girls softball tournament in White Rock.
After placing second out of 15 teams in the round robin, the Kelowna Heat didn’t get a chance to show their stuff in the playoffs at the Canadian Pride and Power U18A girls softball tournament in White Rock. The Heat went a solid 4-1 in the round robin last weekend before inclement weather washed away Sunday and Monday’s playoff games. “We were well positioned and looking forward to a deep playoff run but it was not to be,” said Heat coach Bernie Penner. “That was disappointing as the girls appeared to be playing better and better and the playoffs would
have been a good measuring stick for us. “In round robin, even though we were missing a couple of regular players, our depth was obvious as we continued to play well.” The Heat opened with a 6-3 win over Delta as Kelowna scored three times in the third inning. In Game 2, Alexis Johnston had six RBis in an 8-3 Heat win over Duncan. Stpehanie Koop and Taya Skarbo combined on a two-hitter. Kelowna then knocked off Ridge Meadows 3-2, before pounding South Delta 10-1 to go to 4-0. Skarbo allowed just one hit over four innings. The Heat’s only loss came in their final game, 6-1 to the Victoria Devils. The Heat will be in Spokane for a tournament June 1 to 3.

DAYS of CARING
Keefer Joyce and younger sister Elisa each set new meet records at the 2012 Centennial Track and Field meet last weekend in Kamloops. Keefer, 18, left the rest of the field behing in winning the junior men’s (1819) 100 metre dash in 10.91 seconds. Elisa, 17, showed the way in the womens (1617) 100-metre sprint in a record time of 12.53 seconds. Adele Joyce did not compete in the meet. Two other Kelowna athletes, Keely WattsWatling and Noemi Stroda, turned in some strong results last weekend in Kamloops. Keely Watts-Watling, striving to qualify for the Legions meet in P.E.I. in August, ran the 300m hurdles for the time in 45.95 seconds. She narrowly missed the qualifying standard of 45.17, but smashed the
meet record of 49.35. Keely also placed first in longjump at 5.19m, first in 100m hurdles in 15.70, first in javelin at 30.80m, and second in the shot put with a throw of 11.02m. Keely will be competing this weekend in Burnaby for Kelowna Secondary School at the high school multi-events meet for the first time in the heptathlon. She will be trying for national standards by obtaining 4,200 points in the seven events. Noemi, who turns 14 next week, obtained her goal with a throw of 9.22m in shot put to place second, making her a contender for Zone 2 to compete in the B.C. Summer Games this year in Surrey. Noemi was just under her personal best in discus with a throw of 19.54m. Both Watts-Watling and Stroda are coached independently by Verena Stroda.

Nierfeld has had success as a competitor. In February, he won the men’s 30 to 35 singles title at the Western Indoor Nationals in Vancouver. A keen interest of Holger’s—and a goal the Okanagan Mission Tennis Club shares with him—is to develop some of the talented and hard-working junior members. Nierfeld provides training and coaching not only to club members but to the general public as well. Anyone interested in improving their game can reach Holger directly at 250 681-3529.

The site is best recognized by the “The Big Red Barn” adjacent to the tennis club. The club’s 350 members keep all six courts busy from April to October, weather permitting. It is a “key-club” with 3 of 6 courts lit to provide unlimited access for a membership fee that can only be wished for by tennis players in major Canadian cities. Amongst the club’s annual tournaments are the Tennis B.C. sanc-
Holger Nierfeld
tioned Interior Open and Okanagan Junior Event. The club’s weekly schedule includes Men’s and Ladies night and Mixed Doubles. Seniors gather regularly on weekday mornings for informal mixed play. A complete schedule of events can be found at www.okmissiontennis.com. New members are always welcome as are members of the general public who wish to play casually for a fee. Whether you’re a social player wanting to add tennis to your regular exercise regime, a competitive player training for the tournament season or an aspiring junior, consider joining the Okanagan Mission Tennis club.

Moderate weather for Interior’s largest regatta The Central Okanagan Sailing Association (COSA) held its yearly Springtime Regatta over the May long weekend with 75 boats from across B.C. and Alberta competing in seven races. It is the largest sailing event of its kind in the B.C. Interior. Moderate winds and weather made for lots of fun and fair sailing, under the watchful eye of experienced race officers Ron Rubadeau and Steve Brunsden. COSA sailors dominated the local sailing scene, taking several top finishes in various sailing fleets. Thish Rajapakshe and Zoe Roberts from COSA finished first and second in the 4.7 class, while fellow COSA sailors Connor
Durham and Gage Flint won the 420 class. The large Radial fleet was won by Vancouver’s Fillah Karim, while COSA sailors Adam Sorensen and Elizabeth Hardy finished in ninth and 16th respectively. The equally robust Laser fleet was won by Vancouver racer Dominic Fritz, with COSA team members Robbie Stevens and Thomas Hardy (who balanced graduation with racing) taking 12th and 14th. New COSA racer, Devin Araujo, sailing in his first ever regatta, won almost every race in the Green Optimist fleet, with teammate Alexander Roberts hot on his heels. Gillian Thomson singlehanded her Hobie 18 to a best-in-class show-
ing, with fellow COSA members, Alan Wright, Randy Newton and Paul Evenden taking second to fourth place finishes. Brent Kelly and Joanne Takahashi took third on their Tasar in the XClass fleet, which included several catamarans, skiffs, and various monohulls. The COSA regatta was also the qualifiers for the BC Summer Games. All of the Zone 2 spots were secured by COSA Race Team Members, which will include Devin Araujo, Alexander Roberts, Thomas Hardy, and Elizabeth Hardy. Heather Halperin, coach of the local Optimist sailors, noted how much the young racers had improved over the course of one event. “The Optimist

the team, and excellent results for the advanced sailors, it appears that COSA
is once again poised to do well provincially this year.”

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ ELECTRONIC POP
Adaline can count Kelowna as a former hometown Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
She may be the vintage queen of Toronto, but electronic pop artist Adaline has a pinch of smalltown B.C. in the eclectic Canadian upbringing, which brought her from sea to shining sea and back to the centre of the universe. On her journey, Adaline lived in Kelowna, where she will make a tour stop next month at the Streaming Café for a performance live-streamed across the country (at www.streamingcafe.net). While in Kelowna the first time, she attended college, using the real name she does not give out for interviews. The school, now Okanagan College, was still operating under its Okanagan University College incarnation and the young musician had never even spoken to the telephone company who would give her the “Adaline” stage name years later. “I went to four universities and did English and theatre, so I think I was just doing my first year
requirements, that sort of thing when I was there,” she said. Labelled as from Vancouver, Adaline was actually born in Ottawa, hopped and skipped around the country with her family, many of whom are now in the Okanagan, and eventually spent eight years in her West Coast “home town” before deciding Toronto might be a better home for her anthemic, electronic pop. All that moving produced a young woman with a fluid sense of identity, or at least the ability to bend. She reportedly shed her given name after calling her phone company to complain about a huge bill she couldn’t pay and hearing that the company’s new “Add a Line” promotion could solve all her problems. While an exalted persona, Adaline, in all her dramatic, sequin-clad finery, hasn’t really proven a rocket ship to the moon as a professional identity; but her new skin has certainly helped the girl beneath the movie-star face shed her roots as the daughter of a
preacher who sang in the Beesley Family Singers. “Music is a creative thing, but sometimes the industry isn’t that creative. So I haven’t really found a lot of other artists to tour with so far,” she said. As there are very few electronic-influenced female pop stars in Canada—or it’s certainly not the focus of folk-obsessed mainstream indie music fans— she has a hard time on the marketing and radio fronts. Similar to Dragonette and Austra in Canada, Adaline could likely fit in almost anywhere in Europe with a sound and look to match Welsh pop siren Marina Diamandis of Marina and the Diamonds or Florence and the Machine. Just as Fiest went overseas to find like minds before making it big under the old maple leaf, Adaline is hoping she might build a transcontinental career, spending time on the continent and then returning home for spells. With Marten Tromm, Tino Zolfo and Ontarionative Hawksley Workman (née Ryan Corri-
gan) as her producer and a contributor on her latest album Modern Romantics, she has certainly impressed the right names. Adaline is presently travelling the country on the CBC Radio 3 train, Tracks on Tracks. She has been compared to Judy Garland by the national broadcaster’s spin-masters for her melodramatic stage presence and is clearly considered a darling among their subset with songs in regular rotation. She has also secured the attention of a vintage shop in her Toronto neighbourhood. The shop owners put aside anything and everything they figure will keep her in the highglam, ’80s shoulder pads and sequin look she’s become accustomed to. And the Streaming Café has bent its usual constraints as well to make her June 2 show a success. Adaline will play the Streaming Café on Saturday, June 2 for a special late show beginning at 10 p.m. There is limited space for this show. Tickets are $12 in advance or

A
s the popularity of local brews rage on, the fan base for Tin Whistle Brewing continues to grow. Lorraine Nagy has been the owner of the Tin Whistle Brewery since 1998—she laughs at what was supposed to be a fiveyear plan turned to 15. But she loves it. “I enjoy the different beers and the fun and excitement of producing new beers. It is really an
FOOD & WINE TRAILS
Jennifer Schell exciting, creative adventure.” Now making 10 types of beer at their brewery in Penticton, Nagy says it is full steam ahead.
“I think more and more people are discovering that fine beer is like fine wine. There are many kinds—a beer for every occasion. “As to the growth in the industry, craft beer has been growing at a steady rate while large commercial brewery beer has stagnated over the last few years. “People don’t tire of craft beer as there is always something new and
exciting to tantalize your taste buds.” The Tin Whistle has plans this summer to toot its own horn with a celebration for its 1,000th brew. “We are also very excited about our new beer called Scorpion. An Imperial IPA finely balanced by our brewer.” Tin Whistle Brewing is conveniently located off the highway in Penticton and makes the perfect
addition to your summer tour. Tin Whistle has cold beer available instore as well as its own Black Widow Marinating Jerk Sauce made by Mr. Marks Caribbean Foods—a perfect pairing on a hot Okanagan day.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ MOVIE REVIEW
A wonderful movie that leaves the viewer feeling lighter and somehow fulfilled
THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL There are a lot of things that make this life worth living—a good friend, a good meal, a good book, a good song, a good movie to name a few. And this was one good movie! The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was funny, poignant, happy, sad, touching, but most of all it was a meaningful sliceof-life that left us walking a little lighter, laughing often and feeling somehow fulfilled. You may say that with
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen a cast of Judi Dench (Evelyn), Maggie Smith (Muriel Donnelly), Tom Wilkinson (Graham Dashwood) and Bill Nighy (Douglas Ainslie), how could you go wrong? And you’d be right. But this movie really was more than the sum of its parts. British retirees travel
to India to reside in what they believe is a luxury hotel. Well it’s not even close to their expectations but it becomes so much more. As we watch the unfolding of little dramas in their lives, played against the sights, sounds and colours of India, we are taken into the story so effortlessly that we can almost smell the spice and the food. Dev Patel plays Jamal Malik the hotel owner, who you may remember as the award-winning actor in Slum Dog Millionaire, along with Freida Pinto. He was excellent.
At 78 years old, Judi Dench is a favourite of mine. She became more of a household name for me due to the TV show As Time Goes By. Also 78, Maggie Smith, who many of us know as Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series, starred in one of my personal favourite movies, Gosford Park. John Madden the director of this film, (from the novel by Deborah Moggach), uses this wonderful cast who could easily have overshadowed the story by their star status, in such a way that
we forget the stars and are engrossingly pulled into the story. There are so many great lines, but one that sticks with me is: “Everything will be alright in the end, so if it is not alright, then it is not yet the end.” (I love that!) Run, don’t walk to this one. It will brighten your day and it will be the best show you see this summer. I give it five reels. Susan Steen is a local movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

Men in Black 3, midnight Thursday
I
have to start this week’s column by correcting a major oversight from last week. I completely missed mentioning The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was playing at the Paramount Theatre. (I do have a good excuse for the oversight—I am busy at the new Landmark 8 Cinemas on the Westside helping get it ready for an opening that is only a few weeks away.) Directed by John Madden (Shakespeare in Love), it follows a group of British retirees who decide to outsource their retirement to less expensive and seemingly exotic India. Their dreams of a life of leisure at the newly restored Marigold Hotel are quickly dashed when they discover that the palace is a shell of its former self. Though the lifestyle is less luxurious than they imagined, the sha-
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis red experience transforms them, discovering that life and love can begin again when you let go of the past. The mostly British cast includes Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy. While Battleship was not expected to knock The Avengers out of the number one spot, its $25-million opening has to be a disappointment as it cost over $200 million to make (however, it has grossed over $200 million internationally). Other disappointments are The Dictator, which came up almost $13 million short of Sacha Baron Cohen’s last
over-the-top comedy Brüno and What to Expect While You’re Expecting, which only delivered (pun intended) a $10.5-million opening weekend, even though it featured an allstar cast. This week could be a different story as the black suits are coming back. Ten years after the last movie and 15 years after the original, Men in Black 3 reunites Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, director Barry Sonnenfeld and executive producer Steven Spielberg. In this installment, MIB field agent J (Smith) learns that Agent K’s (Jones) life and the fate of the Earth are at stake. He must time-travel to 1969 to stop an alien criminal from assassinating a young Agent K and changing history. As if that was not challenging enough, he must do so within 24 hours or he will be trapped in the past.

The film follows a group of six young tourists who are looking for something a little different on their vacation. What they get is a tour guide who takes them into the deserted city of Prypiat, the former home of the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor 25 years ago. After a brief exploration of the city, the group soon find themselves stranded, and discover they are being hunted by people mutated by the nuclear blast.

Using the right ‘club’ to make the right investment shot
O
ne of my favourite analogies is that successful investing is like playing great golf. I always admired those golfers that just hit it down the middle of the fairway all the time and never make a bad shot Par! Par! Par! That must get pretty boring. Outstanding real life investment success also results from simply not making the equivalent of a ‘bad shot’ in golf and just ‘hitting it down the middle of the fairway.’ One of the bad shots that I repeatedly see is people under diversifying their investment portfolio. When I say under diversifying, I mean the fatal narrowing of a portfolio down to essentially the same idea, whether that single idea is just one or two stocks or just one or two industries or just one or two asset classes. Everyone remembers a time when everyone was panicking to buy Japanese equity, Kelowna real estate, Brex mining, technology stocks or tulip bulbs. It’s even worse when these investments compromise the entirety of their portfolio. This one’s a biggie. This is the golf equivalent of only using your favourite club, like a five iron, for off the tee, down the fairway and on the green. Great golfers all know that putters, wedges, fair way woods and drivers all have their place in the

Robert Oleksyn game of golf. A scratch golfer has all those different clubs in their golf bag, realizing that certain clubs are designed for certain shots. There are reasons why you use a driver, a seven iron or a putter. And there are reasons why you should always diversify the holdings in your investment portfolio. The first reason is that there are always unforeseen events that can occur and negatively affect your portfolio. Remember Enron? It was the winner of Fortune magazine’s award for the most innovative company in the U.S. five years in a row, until it imploded in a firestorm of fraud. So maybe there’s very important information that you know nothing about. The second reason is creative destruction. Remember beta video recorders, cassette tape players and walkmans? Just because a company has a decisive edge on the competition now, doesn’t mean than an entirely different or better product won’t show up far sooner than you imagined.

confidence. If you are overconfident, then you can be absolutely positive that your choice of stock, industry or asset class is going to go straight up. Of course, if that is going to happen, you would be foolish to own anything else. It would just reduce how much money you’re going to make. Sometimes people get confused between their opinions and facts.
‘‘
SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET CONFUSED BETWEEN THEIR OPINIONS AND FACTS.
Hoping and knowing something will happen are two entirely different things.
The best and most important reason is price, the difference between a good investment and a good company. A good company at low prices is great. A good company at high price is bad. In order to invest successfully, you must always be reallocating between your asset classes and each individual investment. Some investments will be going up and some should be trimmed for a profit and
sold when the price is deemed high. Others will be going down, which will allow you to buy low. As in golf, a successful investor has all the different clubs in his golf bag because he never knows for sure, which one he will require next to simply hit that investment ‘down the fairway.” Rob Oleksyn is an investment advisor and financial planner| with BMO Nesbitt Burns| in Kelowna.

DIALYSIS
New bracelets protect dialysis patients For a dialysis patient, healthy veins are a life line. But sometimes when Renal staff plan to create a permanent vascular access (called an AV fistula) to facilitate the necessary blood flow for hemodialysis, they find a patient’s veins have been damaged from previous IVs or lab work. Renal staff have been working with Interior Health’s IV therapy team on ways to better preserve veins for these patients, and many of these strategies have been successful.
Still, Interior Health vascular access coordinator Angela Romyn wondered if there was more that could be done. In a great example of innovation and patient-centred thinking, she came up with the idea of Save the Veins bracelets. These are bright purple rubber bracelets similar to the popular “Livestrong” bracelets. “We have had people ask about a bracelet and thought this would be an extra step to build awareness among patients and various hospital depart-
ments,” said Romyn. “This is a first in the province and when Angela shared this idea with the provincial group, they were really excited and would like to adopt it,” said Sue Bannerman, Interior Health regional director, renal program. “Like they say, good things come in small packages. This small thing could make a big difference to our renal patients.” The free bracelets are being distributed throughout Interior Health to all pre-dialysis and hemodi-
patient Helen Bertrand sports one of the new “Save the Veins” bracelets. The purple bracelets are the brainchild of Interior Health renal staff, including vascular access coordinator Teresa Rankin, in the photo with Bertrand . CONTRIBUTED
alysis areas for patients who wish to wear one. “It is our hope that these bracelets will help with the flagging and education of pre-dialysis and hemodialysis patients and also empower patients in the protection of their own veins,” Romyn said. The bracelets are not mandatory for patients to wear and they do not replace the B.C. Renal Agency wallet card.
Public warned to reduce the risk of rabies this summer bats, the primary carrier of the rabies virus in B.C. Bats can fly into poorly sealed cabins and homes, or roost in attic spaces. Between four and eight per cent of the bats that are tested after coming into contact with peo-
ple are found to have the rabies virus. “If you come into contact with live or dead bats it is very important to avoid touching them,” said Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist with Interior Health.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
“And parents should remind their children not to play with or touch bats.” Last year, 24 people in the region were treated for potential exposure to rabies. Treatment, involving a two week long period of vaccinations, is most effective when administered as soon as possible after exposure. Without treatment to prevent its onset, rabies is
almost always fatal. Interior Health advises that all contact with bats should be taken seriously. “Anyone who has handled a bat should contact their Public Health Unit or their physician right away,” said Jeyes. “Because bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws their scratches or bites are not always visible and in some cases it can take weeks or even months for
symptoms to appear. Early treatment is essential to prevent the disease from progressing—it’s very important to get checked out as soon as possible.” Interior Health offers these tips to protect yourself: Prevention: • Do not touch live or dead bats. • Make your home or cabin “bat proof”. Keep doors and windows

Pets that were born and raised in B.C. pose a very low risk of transmitting rabies to humans; however, vaccinating your pets will protect them from rabies. If you have been bitten or scratched: • Thoroughly wash the wounds with soap and water. • Contact your local Public Health Unit or family doctor immediately. • Call a wildlife or pest control company to capture the bat. If trying to capture the bat yourself avoid contact by wearing leather gloves, a hat, long sleeves and pants. • Safely contain the bat in a secure covered container to prevent others from being exposed. Keep the bat in a safe location until Public Health can arrange to pick it up and test it for rabies. For more information see the website www. healthlinkbc.ca.

Bacteria can create bad breath issues

on every surface in your mouth, not just your teeth. Your cheeks, gums, tongue and other soft tissues make up 80 per cent of your oral surfaces, so if you think you’re getting rid of all of the bacteria in your mouth when you brush, you’re wrong. Bad breath, although stemming from bacteria and the by-products they produce, can come via different mechanisms. Some individuals have more of the bacteria that produce by-product sulphur compounds, causing them to have a “rotten eggs” scent to their breath. Individuals with oral diseases, such as gum disease, tooth decay or oral ulcers, and those with poor oral hygiene habits can experience a plethora of different scents depending on the offending bugs. Alternatively, individuals with large tonsils (tonsils have “crypts” that can trap food particles
CONTRIBUTOR
A common question dentists are asked is: “My child has bad breath. Why is that and what can we do about it?” There are a number of causes for this. To start with, humans are covered inside and out with bacteria. There are 10 times more bacteria on, and in, each of us than we have cells in our body. In fact, if our bodies were completely bacteria free, we would have very little scent at all. That said, our mouth is no exception. Our mouths are host to an estimated 600 species of bacteria, with about 100 million of the little fellas in each milliliter of saliva. There are more bacteria in your mouth than people on this planet. Most of these are harmless and make up our individual “normal flora.” These bacteria live
and bacteria) or chronic gastroesophageal reflux can also experience funky breath. As well, cultural food and spice choices can affect breath significantly. All of these issues affect children just as much as they do adults. There are no magic bullets that will solve the breath problem for everyone, despite what you may see on late night infomercials. The first stop is oral hygiene. With regular brushing in the morning and at night, including daily flossing. If you want to know if flossing helps, try it and then smell the floss! If your kids can’t tie their own shoes or write their own name, it’s your job to make sure their mouth gets clean, whether they like it or not. When you are brushing, don’t forget their gums and tongue. A huge number of bacteria live on these surfaces.
Alcohol-free oral rinses can be helpful as well, with the brand you choose is a matter of personal preference. Rinses containing essential oils can be quite effective, however, for children it is best to stick with the child friendly versions and only if they’re old enough to swish and spit (5 to 6 years for age and up). If these methods are not helping, it’s time to visit your dentist. Your dentist will be able to suggest possible causes, or recommend whether you may benefit from a medical assessment. Gastroesophageal concerns can be a significant cause of breath abnormalities. All of the causes previously mentioned affect children, and much of the

The philosophy that strong communities include kids who have the chance to run, skate, play and grow is behind Canadian Tire’s JumpStart, a communitybased charitable program that helps families with financial need enroll their kids (ages 4 to 18) into recreational activities. JumpStart will help pay for organized activities such as hockey, dance, soccer and swimming, the idea that all children can develop important life skills, self esteem and confidence through teamwork lessons as active recreation program participants. In Kelowna last year, 705 children were assisted through the JumpStart program here. That number reflects locally how many families are in need of financial assistance to get their children into recreational activities that they may otherwise not be able to participate in. This year, the Canadian Tire store in Kelowna hopes to help even more youngsters. On Saturday, May 26, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., the Kelowna Canadian Tire store will launch JumpStart Days in the store parking lot, 1655 Leckie Rd. To help raise donations, the store will host a BBQ and other fun family activities. All donations raised from this initiative will be matched by the Canadian Tire store dealer in Kelowna, Keith Gostlin.

I recommend having your child seen by a dentist at one year of age to discuss oral health care issues and prevention, so that it is less likely that you will be caught off guard by tooth decay. If the first time you see a dentist is when they are old enough to cooperate, it may be too late.

FEEDING THE VALLEY…Valley First Credit Union regional managers present the Kelowna Community Food Bank with a donation of $2,233.90, the first quarter proceeds from the credit union’s Feed The Valley campaign. Feed The Valley is a grassroots initiative, in partnership with local food banks, aimed at mobilizing communities to work together to reduce hunger in the region. Feed the Valley encourages community members to donate non-perishable food items or make cash donations to their local food bank. Food and funds raised remain in the local communities. In total, the campaign has raised over $30,000 and 300 pounds of food for the Kelowna food bank since it was launched in March 2010.

Boucherie principal accepts new challenge Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
JOHN SIMONSON says he will miss interaction with the students as he leaves his job as principal of Mount Boucherie Secondary School, where he has been since January 2010, to join School District 23’s human resources department. to Constable Neil Bruce Middle School. Simonson joined Mount Boucherie in January 2010. He said that it’s difficult to name a single favourite memory from his time at the Westside secondary school. “Every year has got some highlights,” said Simonson. “It certainly has been
rewarding over the last few years having the opportunity to work with students at Mount Boucherie because at least half of the kids are kids that I was with at Constable Neil Bruce. So I’ve been with them from Grade 7 right through to Grade 12.” Some might predict that being in charge of approximately 1,400 students on the verge of
adulthood would be the most difficult challenge of Simonson’s career to date; however, he said that’s not necessarily the case. “There are different challenges at different levels. Certainly you’re dealing with more graduation issues and making sure that kids are on track to meet grad requirements. “But that’s also a good thing. It’s a big school so
there are lots of opportunities for kids to find something that they’re passionate about.” Taking over Simonson’s role will be Scott McLean, who is currently the principal of Okanagan Mission Secondary School. Simonson has very little doubt that McLean is the perfect candidate for the position.
“I’m really glad that Scott is the fellow they’ve chosen to come in here. He lives in the community; his son, Greg, graduated from Mount Boucherie last year. “He knows what’s going on here. He’ll bring over some strengths and things will be just fine.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

Children in West Kelowna may not get to hear the sound that gives many adults a sense of nostalgia. The district adopted its Mobile Vending Policy on Tuesday, with a key stipulation that caught a few councillors off-guard: No form of music or voice amplifying device shall be allowed for a mobile vending unit. According to Nancy Henderson, director of development services, the district has received a few complaints about the noise coming from ice cream trucks and other mobile vendors in the past. Coun. Bryden Winsby said he was shocked that complaints would be so substantial that the district would include the noise prohibition in its policy. “I don’t want us to go down as a no fun city. Music is a good thing; some loud noises aren’t bad at all. They give you a sense of celebration or excitement,” said Winsby. Coun. Gord Milsom was also surprised. “I just can’t see an ice cream truck going by without music,” said Milsom. Safety was the main concern for Coun. Carol Zanon, who feared that children may run in front of traffic to catch up to the upbeat tunes coming from an ice cream van.

There will be a new sheriff roaming the halls of Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary this fall. After serving two-anda-half years as principal of the high school, John Simonson will join School District 23’s human resources department. He said he’s looking forward to the new opportunity, but will also miss interactions with the students. “Typically someone will come and say that you should consider administration because you’ve been doing a good job as a classroom teacher,” said Simonson. “The very thing that you’ve enjoyed doing is the thing that you’re moving away from. “The farther away that you go—from a teacher to a vice-principal to a principal—the less you’re having direct contact with students.” To help fill the gap, Simonson has always been involved with coaching. “I always coached so I had the opportunity to— at least with the team I was working with—get to know the kids. “Will I miss that? Absolutely.” Simonson’s Westside education career prior to Mount Boucherie took him from George Pringle Secondary School to Glenrosa Middle School

Family survives car rollover A family of four avoided serious injuries Monday after their rental car rolled on Westside Road. West Kelowna Mounties received a report of a rollover about 10 km south of La Casa on Westside Road at 3:50 p.m. Emergency crews responded but found the family of four to be uninjured. The driver, a 35-year-old man from
the UK, was driving north on Westside Road in a rented Ford Explorer when he apparently caught the shoulder and went into the ditch. The man, his wife and two children were taken to Kelowna General Hospital as a precaution. Driver inattention is believed to be a factor in the crash. The family was scheduled to return home on Tuesday.

Gearing up for ‘monster’ garage sale Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Three delicious options. 50% OFF, May 28 – June 3, 2012.
Hitting up more than 15 garage sales on a typical Saturday would likely take hours of time and litres of gas that the average Westside resident can’t afford to waste. But on Saturday, May 26, the Westbank Lions Club will make it a lot easier when it hosts its first ever monster garage sale. According to Rick Hepner, a
member of the Lions Club and one of the organizers of the garage sale, the purpose of the event is to get rid of some old kitchen supplies. “When the Lions Manor was torn down, we acquired a bunch of the kitchen stuff for the Lions Hall,” Hepner said. “We replaced some of the older stuff in the hall with some of the stuff from the manor—now we’re having a sale to get rid of (the older kitchen supplies),” said Hepner.
The garage sale event will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and there will be burgers and drinks supplied by the Westbank Lions Club. Those who are willing to sell their own items can rent a booth for $20. Hepner said the community response has been positive and so far approximately 15 people have signed up to sell their used goods. For more information contact Rick Hepner at 250-452-9440. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com
Ice cream truck noise complaints a surprise Quiet from B9 Mayor Doug Findlater said that the district may get some pushback from the public on the decision; however, he thinks that, for every complaint about the policy, there will be someone who likes it. “When I was a young dad living in Glenrosa, I

always hated the sound of an ice cream truck because it meant that (my kids) were chasing me, and then we were all chasing the truck down the street.” The mayor admitted that he doesn’t mind the sound as much now that he’s a grandfather; however, he still voted in fa-
vour of the Mobile Vending Policy. The policy offers three fixed vending location permits for the Westside: A small cart opportunity at Marina Park, an on-street parking stall option at Rotary Trails Park and an area for a mobile vendor at Westbank Centre Park.
The permits will be given out on a first-comefirst-serve basis, provided that applicants meet the minimum approval criteria. Once all the fixed location permits have been issued, remaining applicants will be offered roaming mobile vending permits.

WESTSIDE ▼ DRIVING SAFELY
Sexual favours have no place in a moving vehicle T oday’s column was a bit of a struggle for me. Usually, the trick is coming up with a topic that I feel passionate about. Armed with a good topic, my columns seem to write themselves. I just sit here with my hands over the keys of my laptop and away it goes. This week, a friend gave me a most excellent topic—one that I feel passionate about in more than one way, but my fingers had a whole lot of trouble getting started. My column last week was about the serious problem of driving drowsy. A crash near Vernon triggered that topic. I challenged the use of the word “accident” to describe a crash arising from drowsy driving because falling asleep at the wheel is the predictable result of intentional driving behaviour. Nobody intends or chooses to get sleepy while driving, but we all know when we are getting drowsy. The dangerous, and intentional, choice is to push on and not pull over to rest. The topic I was given this week is about an
President’s gavel passed at Agur Lake Camp AGM Carla Ohmenzetter has been elected by acclamation as the new president of the Agur Lake Camp Society. The presidential gavel was handed to Ohmenzetter by Barb Hatton, the retiring president who has been a board member since 2006. Ohmenzetter is a business owner who lives in Summerland. She is involved in community activities and has served on the Summerland municipal council. Agur Lake Camp is a wilderness camp located in the mountains 20 kilometres west of Summerland. Also elected to the executive were vice-president Beth Bonten, treasurer Ray Skoreyko, secretary Keith Dixon and board directors Amanda Lewis, Barbara Robson, Milton Orris, Simon Wells and Steve Tuck.
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott entirely different kind of dangerous driving behaviour. Like talking on a cell phone, texting, eating food, changing clothes, applying makeup, reading and even playing video games, this particular type of activity distracts the driver from the important task at hand—driving. And I don’t know if “distracts” is a strong enough word. According to one survey, approximately 15 per cent of drivers admit to having engaged in some form of this particularly
distracting type of activity while driving. There is a time and a place for everything, and there most certainly is a time and a place for this type of activity. In fact, I think that a large portion of our population, perhaps just under 50 per cent, would be inclined to actively encourage it. Have you ever heard of “road head?” To be fair, the survey wasn’t restricted to that particular sexual activity. Sexual activity doesn’t have to include a partner. Perhaps more often it’s a matter of one “task at hand” competing with giving full attention to another. What was your first reaction when you realized what I was writing about? The topic was offered to me with a bit of
a giggle and I found, on doing a bit of Internet research, that such a reaction is common. Search “road head” on YouTube and you’ll find all sorts of videos taken of drivers whose passengers are in that telling position. Those behind the camera are giggling and laughing. I had a similar reaction to the column topic, although with a bit of envy mixed in. Why is our immediate, gut churning, reaction not one of abhorrence? Why do we pull out a video camera instead of honking the horn to stop the activity? We must not be clued in to the way car crashes change lives, and end them. We must not be clued in to the fact that it’s dangerous driving choices,
and not mere roll of the dice chance, that causes those crashes. If we were clued in, our attitudes would be different; the only activity we would tolerate and engage in behind the wheel of a car would be driving.

KLASSEN, PETER Our dad, Isaac Peter Klassen, is celebrating life with Jesus as of May 20, 2012. His daughters, Irene Hofer and husband Joe, Eleanor Braun and husband Mal, and Marlene Daku and husband Ron, will miss him deeply, but are thankful for his love, care, and influence on their lives. He was 96, and lived independently until his last year. His passion was to help people and reflexology was the way he did that. He also took up painting in his 80’s and this gave him hours of enjoyment. Mom (Mary Louise nee Donst) pre-deceased Dad by 19 years. He selflessly and lovingly cared for her until the end. Dad lived life with a positive attitude and complaining was not a part of his character. We have all learned from you.Thank you Dad. Isaac was born Feb. 28, 1916, in Lergeejeroka, Russia, and came to Canada in 1923 on a ship called the Empress of Scotland, with his parents and 2 siblings, Alvin and Rita. They settled in Hanley, Sask. Isaac met and married Mary in Winnipeg and he spent many years working in the foundry at Monarch Machinery. At the age of 50, Mom’s health and love for the Okanagan caused Dad to pull up roots and move to Kelowna. Dad did many jobs after moving here but his time spent working on the “Pentowna”, the ferry run from Kelowna to Penticton, was a dream come true. He is predeceased by parents Peter and Margaret Klassen, sister and brother-in-law Rita and Cornelius Martens, and brother Alvin Klassen, and nephews Eric and Rick Martens. Dad is survived by his 3 daughters and husbands, 8 grandchildren – Ryan (Carol), Leanne (Rod), Jason (Tenessa), Jonathan (Magan), Darrell (Jessica), Timothy (Juanita), Phil, Kristen (Keith) and 17 great grandchildren, one sister-in-law and several nieces and nephews. Special thanks to Dr. Shaw in Emergency, and the wonderful care he received at the Kelowna Hospice House! In lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully received for the Hospice House or the Kelowna Gospel Mission. Viewing will be held on Thursday, May 24th, 2012 from 8:00 – 9:00 P.M. at First Memorial Funeral Services, 1211 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC. Private family interment will be held. Service will be held on Friday, May 25th, 2012 at 1:30 P.M. at the Kelowna Gospel Fellowship Church, 3714 Gordon Drive, Kelowna.
