Organ donor gives woman new lease on life Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

As a mother to three energetic boys, Kelowna resident Julie Evaskevish got to know many of her son’s friends raising her family years ago in Red Deer. One of those neighbourhood friends was a bright young girl named Tina. But Tina’s health took a turn for the worse some 17 years ago. “I remember seeing her go from a normal, happy teen to being very pale and drawn,” said Evaskevish, now the owner of Kelowna’s North End Cafe. Her sons have long since grown up and moved out on their own.

“She seemed so tired all the time and she hardly smiled.” It turned out the young girl’s kidneys had failed and for nearly two decades that girl, now 27-year-old Tina Lumbis, has been on kidney dialysis, her life a regular routine of hospital visits to keep her alive. Meantime, Evaskevich moved away from Red Deer, coming to Kelowna four years ago, purchasing the North End

Kelowna’s top cop says his detachment is heading into the summer in better shape than it has in several years. RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon told Kelowna city council Monday that he expects to have all the new officers approved by council in its recent municipal budget in place by July 1. “It’s the best shape we’ve been in for some time,” said McKinnon. He said all 11 new officers, plus the replacements for four officers who are leaving the detachment, will be here for the summer. That will mean additions to the detachment’s target team, which goes after specific crimes such as marijuana growing operations, as well as the property crime unit, the homicide investigation team and an additional officer to help with internal investigations. McKinnon said with the number of complaints against RCMP of-

Crusade launched to celebrate diverse abilities Ashlee Shelley DeCoste, a powerful self-advocate, wants the word “disability” stricken from Canadian’s vernacular and replaced with “diversability.” Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna resident Shelley DeCoste has the kind of butterflies one only gets when a major change is in the wind. As others get out to play a round of golf or game of baseball on the first weekend of June, DeCoste will stand up in front of a room full of people and launch her campaign to change the word “disability” to “diversability.” “Everyone focuses on the ‘dis,’ on the things we can’t do,” she explained. “But people have all different abilities, and I want that to be what’s understood.” DeCoste has cerebral palsy, which she acquired when her oxygen supply was temporarily blocked at birth. It has left her with some physical and cognitive differences she might otherwise have missed, but she describes it more as a nuisance. CP doesn’t change how she understands the world, she says, though it impacts her ability to communicate at the speed others might find customary.

“It’s more something that just pisses me off. Just because I might seem awkward, doesn’t mean I can’t participate in the community and work. I clue in my own time,” she explained. People with “diversabilities” do not want to be coddled or looked after, she adds. “We want to work. Even if it’s just for a couple of hours in a day, we want to feel like we contribute.” When someone is labelled as having a disability, it is easy to discount his or her contribution and potential; yet the particular abilities DeCoste possesses are very valuable. Her paid employment sees her translate government documents so people with developmental disabilities can understand the policies, procedures and forms needed to run their lives. She is able to identify areas that might be problematic for others to read, then rearrange the wording so it makes sense to the people it affects. As DeCoste explains it, when one ability is limited, it often creates a new ability. Someone who is

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

SHELLEY DECOSTE wants the word “diversability” enshrined in our everyday language. missing their sight, for example, might experience a more acute sense of smell. Someone who cannot walk, might have a heightened level of dexterity in their upper body. Dropping the word “disabled” refocuses society on abilities, so these special assets can have value. But there’s an even better argument for using “diversabilities.” “I’m also trying to get everybody moving away from when we were institutionalized,” DeCoste says. The world disabled is associated with the per-

iod when people were removed from their homes, labelled as handicapped and institutionalized, at times into abusive living conditions. The struggle to build inclusive communities has been compared to what the American civil rights movement did for race relations as it tries to reinstate some of the basic human rights everyone in a democratic society is supposed to enjoy. B.C. was the first province in Canada to end institutionalization and has introduced proactive legal measures to enforce the changes, according to

Faith Bodnar, B.C. Association for Community Living executive director. Last year, the City of New Westminster held the first demolition ceremony in the country, tearing down the centre block of Woodlands School, one of the largest institutions in the province. New legislation has also made it possible for those with “diversabilities” to secure a personal board of directors, or a miniboard, that operates like a non-profit society to ensure those who struggle to communicate still have their rights protected and needs met.

“People with developmental disabilities have really pushed the movement in how we talk,” said Bodnar. Through powerful self-advocacy in the 1980s, associations termed as working for the “mentally retarded” or “handicapped” changed to titles termed “community living” in an effort to encourage a more equitable, inclusive approach. One of the more proactive annual conferences in the community living movement is held by the BCACL. DeCoste will use it for her campaign launch, taking her drive to see “diversability” named Word of the Year to 400 delegates gathering in Penticton this weekend. “It’s people who bare the label who show us the way,” said Bodnar. “That, for me, is the legacy of being privileged enough to be a part of the community living movement…Without them, we get off course too fast. “And we don’t have to look back very far to think about what we can do better, how we can do more.” A group in Europe has already created a campaign to see “diversability” included in the Oxford English Dictionary. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Boatlift heist leaves summer program in jeopardy A boat hoist valued at more than $10,000 was stolen from the Lake Country Ski and Board Clubhouse on Wood Lake. If the hoist is not found, the Lake Country Board and Ski Club says

rell Roper, secretary for the club. Lake Country RCMP received a report of theft from club members last Friday. The boat hoist and the group’s clubhouse are located in an isolated northwest corner of Wood

Lake. “The 18-foot aluminum Nyman Water Lifter, valued at over $10,000 had apparently been stolen sometime in the preceding two days” said Const. Kris Clark. Attempts to break into the clubhouse were

thwarted by the security system, but Roper said they were waiting for a locksmith to open up the damaged locks to see if anything else is missing. Roper said the hoist weighed more than 500 pounds and would have

taken several people to dismantle and move it onto a flat deck truck. Anyone with information is asked to call the Lake Country RCMP at 250-766-2288 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Hyatt’s friends gather Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Family and friends of slain Okanagan teenager Ashlee Hyatt will gather this week to honour her life on the second anniversary of her death. “We want to remember her and celebrate her life not how she was taken from us, we want to think of what makes us happy when we think of Ashlee,” said her mother, Charrie, adding it will also offer time to reflect on some of the good that has come from their personal tragedy. “We know that people have learned from her death and don’t carry weapons and have changed their lives for the good.” Friends and family of the teen will gather at the docks in Peachland on the evening of June 2, although Charrie intends to be at a memorial bench nearby most of the day. Anyone who wants to stop by with flowers or “reflect on Ashlee in their own way” is welcome. At around 9 p.m., those who have gathered will release balloons or float electric candles into the lake, to light up the night. A West Kelowna teenager is accused of murdering Hyatt at a Peachland house party on San Clemente Avenue in the summer of 2010. She cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. A trial will be held on Oct 15.

NEWS ▼ CENTENNIAL TOWER

Kelowna benefits from historic health care investment Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Premier Christy Clark has officially opened Kelowna General Hospital’s new tower and new clinical support services building. Clark, who earlier last Friday opened a new supportive housing project in Rutland (see story A7), called the addition of the new six-storey Centennial tower and the Dr. Walter Anderson clinical support services building, along with a recently completed patient care tower at Vernon’s Jubilee Hospital, the biggest investment in health care ever in the Okanagan.

“The Centennial Building, with its new operating suites, vastly expanded emergency department and new ambulatory care department, will directly and immediately benefit patients and their families,” Clark said on Friday. “These new buildings will serve Kelowna residents for years to come.” The $218-million Centennial Building was funded as part of the Kelowna and Vernon Hospitals Projects, worth approximately $435 million, while the $39-million Anderson Building was funded through the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre Project, worth approxi-

mately $448 million. The heart centre is to be built on the site of the existing Pandosy building at the hospital, the old part of KGH. It is slated to be complete in 2016. Clark said since 2002 the provincial government and partners have invested nearly $1 billion in capital projects in Interior Health. Patients are to be moved into the new tower at KGH on Sunday. The new Centennial Building was completed on budget and ahead of schedule, and will add a total of 33,445 square metres to the KGH site. It will consolidate and modernize programs and services to improve health

service delivery. Clark said through the building projects at the hospitals, 2,700 construction jobs were created over the last three years. The Centennial Building has been designed to allow for a major increase in capacity over the next 12 years. Clark noted that KGH is a teaching hospital and with the UBC medical school campus, more doctors will be trained here who will likely stay in the B.C. Interior. As part of the project, the The Dr. Walter Anderson Building, linked to the Centennial Building by an enclosed pedestrian sky bridge over

Pandosy Street, will become home to KGH’s laboratory and clinical support departments, and will allow for the relocation of existing hospital departments in order to empty out the Pandosy building so it can be demolished to make way for the new cardiac care centre. Demolition is expected to take place before the end of the year. The IHSC project will create a permanent home for the fifth provincial car-

Manpower boost for the RCMP ficers here growing and a new directive from his superiors that accusations against officers for things like lying, cheating and stealing must be dealt with within seven days, a second internal investigations officer is needed here. He said he is still wrestling with what to do with another new officer who could be assigned to help with domestic violence. The officer could also be assigned as the third school liaison officer in the city. McKinnon said while Kelowna was recently identified as having the highest number of domestic assaults in B.C. and the third highest in Canada,

the reason for that could be his officers have been very successful in convincing victims of domestic violence to report it. “And if it is not reported it will continue to happen,” said McKinnon. “It’s a double-edged sword for us,” he said. According to statistics presented to council on Monday, the number of spousal assaults in the city in the first four months of 2012 was down 35.45 per cent compared to the same period in 2010, the time period used in the report that called for more police officers for the city earlier this year. Meanwhile, other areas where crime was down between January and April included sex of-

floor on the planned new three-storey heart centre. But when asked about it later, Clark was noncommittal. “Today marks a significant milestone in patient care for our region,” said Hobson. “Our residents have supported these projects from the beginning, and to see that investment come to fruition like this is very exciting.”

fences (36 per cent), break and enters (31 per cent), auto theft (22.9 per cent), theft over $5,000 (22 per cent), impaired driving (53.7 per cent), 24-hour driving offence citations (78.5 per cent) and motor vehicle accident (18,8 per cent). Spousal assaults were down 35 per cent and domestic disputes were down 8.5 per cent. Areas where crime was up included: robberies (2.5 per cent), assaults (7.7 per cent) and theft under $5,000 (7.6 per cent). Asked about decriminalizing marijuana, McKinnon said he liked his job too much to offer an opinion other than to say it is his job to enforce the law and the law currently says marijuana is illegal. But he said his officers have not gone after any adult individual for simple possession in the last 12 months. “That’s simply not our practice,” said McKinnon. Grow ops, however; and drugs in schools are a different matter. “There are protocol for drugs in school to deal with it there,” he added. As for the number of officers coming here, he said in addition to the new officers authorized by council and filling in for retirements and the officers leaving, Kelowna will get 15 new officers here this summer while four will leave the detachment. As an aside, he said, four of his officers are still working on the shooting murder of Jonathon Bacon here last summer. Two of those officers are being paid for by the province. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Union protests care home job losses

Date choice called ‘huge win’ for tourism Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The provincial government’s decision to give British Columbians a holiday on the second Monday of February, “is a huge win” for tourism, says an industry representative. “We believe the (government) listened to the tourism community, and the voters,” said Michael Ballingall, who represents Big White Ski Resort and is an active member of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association. Ballingall was among a number of mountain operators who lobbied for the earlier placement of Family Day, as soon as Premier Christy Clark announced she’d gather input from residents throughout May to find out which day they preferred, the second or third Monday of February. “There were a lot of things that we at the resorts were concerned about,” he said. Had the province decided to place the holiday on the third weekend, he said, then it would coincide with President’s Day in the U.S., which is the busiest day on B.C. ski hills.

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

“All the mountains are full—there was no point in funnelling more people into the system,” Ballingall said. “Think of border crossings and ferries…they’re already experiencing the traffic from the U.S. and Albertan holiday, which cause massive traffic wherever you look.” Traffic jams weren’t the industry’s only concerns, mind you. Ballingall explained that there could be economic benefits from stretching out the high season for two weekends. All the part-time workers who are hired to handle the intense traffic of the one weekend alone, will now be able to get more hours at B.C. ski hills. Better yet, he added, the rest who are lucky enough to not have to work on that day will also benefit from not having to pay U.S. rates. Several other provinces have statutory holidays in February, but in every other case, it falls on the third Monday of the month. Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan celebrate Family Day, while the February holiday is Louis Riel Day in Manitoba and Islander Day in Prince Edward Island.

Members of the B.C Government and Service Employees Union protested outside Okanagan-Mission MLA Steve Thomson’s office Friday. The focus of the protest concerned the layoff of 130 workers at the Springvalley Care Home in Kelowna. The union says the workers have lost their jobs because the care home owner is allowed to “flip” the contract it has with the current operator to another one. By by doing so, the workers will lose the jobs but can reapply at a lower wage. B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair was as the rally on Friday. He blamed the provincial government for changing the law to allow such flipping of contracts back in 2002. He said the Springvalley workers took a pay cut

Crash sends pickup truck driver to hospital

A man was ejected from his black vintage Ford truck Monday morning during a crash and is expected to recover. The Kelowna RCMP received a report of a single vehicle collision on Highway 97 near Duck Lake, May 28 at 6:40 a.m. “A black vintage Ford pickup was southbound on the highway when it apparently lost control and impacted a concrete barrier,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The driver, a 33-year-old Lake Country man, was ejected from the vehicle landing in a field at the bottom of a steep embankment.” He suffered serious injuries from the crash but police where told that he is expected to recover. Police suspect a mechanical failure contributed to the crash. Monday’s crash comes less than a day after another serious crash in which those vehicle occupants walked away virtually unscathed.

▼ RUTLAND

Premier opens housing project

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

The third jewel in what Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray says is the “triple crown” of affordable housing projects in the city, has been officially opened by B.C. Premier Christy Clark. Clark, who along with Gray, the area’s three Liberal MLAs and officials from B.C Housing and the John Howard Society, joined three residents to ceremoniously cut the ribbon opening the New Gate Apartments Friday. The 49-unit supportive housing development in Rutland is operated by the John Howard Society. “This is the final part of the triple crown,” said Gray, referring to two other supportive housing buildings completed in the city in recent years as part of a partnership with the province signed in 2008. Since then, Canadian Mental Health’s Willowbridge building has opened at the corner of Pandosy Steet and Harvey Avenue (2010) and Now Canada’s Tutt St. Place in South Pandosy last year. “Four years ago, our government and the City of Kelowna signed an agreement to build 128 new supportive housing units on three city-owned sites,” said Clark. “Today the final and largest project has officially opened and is housing 49 individuals from this community who were previously homeless or at risk of homelessness.” Gray, who was mayor when the plans for the three buildings were drawn up and who offered city-owned land for the projects, noted that three buildings followed the controversial construction of another complex built to help the homeless, the Cardington Apartments

PREMIER CHRISTY CLARK (second from right) speaks at the opening ceremony held last Friday for the new supportive housing project operated by the John Howard Society on Rutland Road North. downtown on St. Paul Street. That building, housing people with drug and alcohol issues, was opposed by several area property owners and business operators in the area. Those opponents, said Gray at Friday’s opening of the New Gate Apartments, have since apologized for their behaviour during their fight seven years ago to stop the Cardington Apartments from being built. For New Gate, the provincial government provided a mortgage of close to $7 million for construction of the development and will provide annual operational funding of more than $725,000. The City of Kelowna provided land val-

ued at $650,000. “It’s in the best interest of the City of Kelowna and its citizens that we create supported, affordable housing options for our most vulnerable,” said Gray. “Through partnerships with other levels of government and community organizations, we have successfully leveraged our ability to provide land for the creation of new supportive housing.” The new four-storey building provides longer-term supportive housing to men and women at risk of homelessness. The John Howard Society of the Central and South Okanagan owns, manages and operates the building. Support workers provide on-site support services

for the tenants. “People can always change for the better and having safe, supportive housing is fundamental to anyone making and maintaining any positive life change,” said Shelley Cook, executive director of the John Howard Society of the Central and South Okanagan. “New Gate Apartments provides this opportunity for 49 men and women in our community.” “This building is John Howard Society’s fourth supportive housing development to open in Kelowna, and it has helped to fill a need for longerterm supportive housing for men and women who have started to rebuild their lives,” Cook said.

Post-surgery downtime ‘It’s an amazing thing places stress on business she is doing for me’ Life from A1

something to help…for me…I don’t know…it was the obvious thing to do.” Once her kidney was confirmed as a match, Evaskevich traveled to Red Deer and sat down for coffee with Tina to give her the good news. “I asked her if she was ready to receive a donated kidney if someone had one for her and she said yes,” she recalled. “When she found out we had a date set for surgery I think it’s the first time I had seen her that happy since before she got sick.” Not surprisingly both women say their relationship has changed since Evaskevich decided to donate her kidney. They are closer and are in touch on

a regular basis through text messages and Facebook. For Lumbis, to receive the gift of life from a friend from her past was something special. “Words can’t really explain what she is doing,” Lumbis said from Red Deer. “It’s an amazing thing she is doing for me. It’s going to give me my life back. I just think it’s an amazing and wonderful thing she is doing and I will be forever grateful.” Evaskevich also struggles to describe what the two women are going through. “It’s a very strange emotional journey and very hard to put answers to questions like: ‘How do you feel?’ or ‘Why are you doing this?’” she said. “It touches a part of your emotions that is hard for me to express in words.” For information on becoming an organ donor go to ww lant.bc.ca. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

When Kelowna restauranteur Julie Evaskevich has surgery this September to donate a kidney to her friend, it will be three months before she can return to work and up to six months before she is fully recovered from surgery. That’s a lot of time off for a woman who, less than a year ago, purchased the North End Cafe and currently runs it with the help of her boyfriend and a few volunteers six days a week. Like many who own their own business, Evaskevich does the work of three or four people—cooking, cleaning, serving, doing dishes and anything else that needs to be done. So, before her surgery this September, she is hoping to raise enough money to staff the North End Cafe during the time she will be off her feet—anywhere from three to six months. “I made this commitment to Tina before we purchased the cafe so it had to be a consideration in deciding whether to purchase the cafe or not,” she said. “We realized it was going to be more

difficult to operate but we would go ahead.” Evaskevich is hoping to raise enough money to cover the costs associated with the kidney transplant. Many of the medical expenses are being shared between the B.C. and Alberta governments while air travel and her accommodation in Calgary has also been taken care of. But Evaskevich and her fiance are looking for help to keep the North End Cafe up and running during her recovery and are looking for a couple of part time staffers that can help out. A fundraiser is also being planned for next month by Spy vs. Spy, where one of Evaskevich’s sons works. If you want to help out please contact Julie Evaskevich at the North End Cafe at 250-860-9599. Evaskevich has also just found out that another friend of hers is in need of a kidney transplant and any extra money raised will be passed on to help that person.

Joelon Verma was in court via video link to set a schedule for his upcoming murder trial, but the matter was once again put over to a future date. Afterward, Irving’s mother said she was angered by the length of time it’s taken. Verma’s trial date is expected to be set on June 25, which is coincidentally the two year anniversary of his arrest for Irving’s murder. Scheduling Verma’s trial is a matter that’s been before the courts several times over the last year but repeatedly put off for reasons including a lack of legal representation. In recent months the Calgary based lawyer who previously represented him dropped the case. At his last court date, however, Verma was informed that Crown counsel intended to propose measures to move the trial ahead whether his legal house was in order or not, as the issue had dragged on too long. As instructed, Verma appeared in court via video link Monday, with legal counsel lined up. Vancouver based lawyer Jordan Watt will be representing Verma going forward. Watt requested the matter of settling a trial date be put off for four to six weeks, and was granted until June 25 to be ready to proceed with the case.

Acne problems common issue for cats S urprise, surprise, apparently annoying zits are not solely related to the unpleasant features of teenager, as your cat may also suffer from this unpleasant condition. Feline acne is a quite common disease in cats. If your cat has acne, you may not be aware of it because the skin blemish appearance we are familiar with doesn’t show itself that way on felines. The sebaceous glands are microscopic glands in the skin that secrete an oily/waxy material, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair in both humans and animals. Acne is an inflammation and secondary infection of these sebaceous glands. The condition starts by accumulation of sebum in the gland causing it to clog. The clogged gland is called comedone, and appears as black raised spots. These comedones later become irritated and secondary infected by the bacteria and fungus growing in it, and change into pustules—raised, pus filled small wounds. The most typical location for feline acne to appear is under the chin and on the lips.

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz This condition can happen in any cat, at any age, but is most commonly seen in cats between two to four years of age. Sometimes the condition is related to hyperactive sebaceous glands, but mostly stress and poor hygiene contributes to its development. The symptoms of feline acne can be mild and may go unnoticed. Initially, with the appearance of the black comedones, the chin may just look dirty. Secondary pustules look more like the human acne. The pustules often rupture leading to bleeding, crusts, draining tracts and hair loss. In mild cases, the acne may be resolved on its own or by local treatment that includes frequent cleaning of the area, usage of antiseborrheic shampoo and topical creams. In more advanced cases, systemic medications such as antibiotics and antifungal medication may be required.

Your veterinarian will assess the severity of the condition, and in more severe cases your cat may be treated with a short course of steroids to control the inflammation. If you suspect acne in your cat, take it to see your vet. Never treat your cat with the human medications against acne. It is also important that your vet will diagnose the acne and differentiate it from other conditions that may have similar appearance. Ruling out other conditions such as ring-

fections such as acne. For the same purpose, clean your cat’s food and water bowls daily with water and soap. Using very shallow bowls can also be helpful. If your cat tends to suffer from acne, clean its chin and lips frequently after eating.

Steps to upgrade farm safety

he provincial government must move quickly to adopt the recommendations of the coroner’s jury which looked into the deaths of three mushroom farm workers in Langley in 2008. The jury has recommended that Worksafe B.C. take a much more activist role in enforcing safety rules on farms, including surprise inspections. It also recommends that farm

workers take two-day courses on occupational health and safety, including being made fully aware of the dangers of confined spaces. These recommendations are clearly stating that farm workplaces be treated in a similar fashion to other workplaces. There must be safety committees and proper training at other workplaces. Why should farms somehow

be allowed to evade this responsibility? The inquest also pointed out the additional challenges faced when many farm workers do not understand English. They are limited in where they can find work, which in effect makes them indentured servants to a small group of employers. Employers in this situation have far more control over their

lives than any employer should have. The province can make a difference in the mushroom industry and other farming operations, and in preventing future senseless tragedies. The jury recommendations make that clear. The ball is now firmly in the government’s court. —Black Press

In 1991, all it took was a quip by then-Liberal leader Gordon Wilson during the party leaders’ televised debate that the end was nigh for the once-mighty Social Credit Party. As much as Cummins may publicly deny it, his party’s growing popularity is coming directly at the expense of the Liberals, not the NDP. Dix won’t admit it, but inside he must be smiling. Labelling Cummins

and Clark’s comments as “disrespectful” to voters, he said he expects four parties, not two, to be in the running next May—his NDP, the Liberals, the Conservatives and the Green Party. It’s a smart strategy. Too many times in the past the seeming spectre of arrogance has netted a political leader a swift kick in the political pants from the electorate. Like any race, you run differently from the front than from the back. And Dix knows it. For now, he is happy to let Cummins and Clark fight with each other while he sits on his lead. Writing any party off with a year to go to the next election would make him seem desperate. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Hergott dreaming if he thinks the Mrs will comply

To the editor: Re: Sexual Favours Have No Place in a Moving Vehicle, May 24 Capital News Westside. I must admit my shock at Mr. Hergott’s choice of subject matter in his latest column. Excerpt: “Have you ever heard of road head?…I, for one, resolve that if I am ever presented with an offer, I will gently but firmly scold my wife

and pull over to where the offer can be accepted safely.” First of all, what really is road head? When I first heard the term, I thought it was a band. When I discovered its true meaning, I joined my husband on the “safe driving” bandwagon. And now Mr. Hergott has suggested that this might be something that I would even remotely con-

sider. I would hire a lawyer for defamation of character, but frankly, they cost too darn much. And so I will simply say, for the record, that there will never be a need for Mr. Hergott to pull over to a safe location. The only way “road head” would ever happen in our vehicle, would be in his dreams, and we all know that Mr. Hergott

would never drive tired. It might be noted that this entire column came about when I challenged Mr. Hergott to write a column showing that this particular distraction might not be safe while driving. As ever, Mr. Hergott has taken my suggestion and jumped on the bandwagon. I, along with millions of females out there, thank Mr. Hergott for showing

us the danger of the particular distraction while driving. I say we should unite and take a safe driving pledge—no more putting on our make-up, talking on the phone, texting our friends, and above all, no more road head. Let’s all do our part in making the roads a safer place.

Ice cream truck music ban embarrassing A Gift in Memory To the editor: I am writing in response to West Kelowna council passing a bylaw that stops ice cream trucks from playing their music. What I would like to know is how many complaints are there in West Kelowna regarding this issue and how much time and money went into making this decision? When I ran for city council last year, my understanding was that the current council wanted to support small businesses and even encourage and develop more opportunities in West Kelowna. How is this supporting business, not to mention promoting West Kelowna

as a family-oriented place to invest and move to? Those ice cream trucks are the music of summer. I believe the parents in West Kelowna are capable of making good choices for their families. Coun. Zanon “…feared that children would run in front of traffic.” Really? How many children were admitted to hospital last year after being hit by an ice cream truck? West Kelowna needs to consider that we live in one of the most beautiful places in B.C. and a couple of months of ice cream truck music should not be a subject up for debate.

Watching Global BC (TV news) this morning embarrassed me. What’s next, the music at Save-on Foods, Shoppers or Starbucks should stop? It is usually bad ’70s and ’80s music. Why don’t we take a look at the movie Footloose—is that really what this city is coming to? I completely agree with Coun. Winsby, this has become a place where family fun and creating memories for our children is not allowed. Cathy Sinclair, West Kelowna

To the editor: Re: Ice Cream Trucks Must Keep Quiet, May 24 Capital News) Come-on West Kelowna resident’s, let’s band together in support of our now famous council decision to ban the music from icecream trucks. If this is one of council’s higher priorities, we are in serious trouble. What’s next— maybe lets ban parades, and how about fire

works? We put up with other noisy occurrences daily, like loud motorcycles and cars racing up and down our streets. These things are dangerous to children—not the music of the ice cream truck. Parents need to parent. We all have witnessed the meltdowns/temper tantrums of children in grocery stores or other places where they didn’t get their way.

It is not council’s objective to parent our children. Mayor Findlater’s comments, as reported in our media, are appalling. The council members that supported his comments also leave one bewildered and amused. Thank you Coun. Winsby for not supporting this foolishness. David W. Kuhn, West Kelowna

▼ HELPING OUT

Allergy-prone dog helped by sportsmen To the editor: Thank you to the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association. Recently the Okanagan Small Dog Rescue Society, which is funded

totally by donation, rescued a lovable dog named Benji. Due to severe food allergies that result in hair loss, emaciation and yeast infections, Benji can only

MLA thanks teacher for time

To the editor: Re: Teacher Will Give Up Volunteering Time For Students, May 4 Capital News. I read James Pengilly’s open letter to me for the first time in the Capital News. I checked with my constituency office staff; his letters had not shown up there— perhaps his coach’s whistle, which he enclosed, prevented delivery. I disagree with some of Mr. Pengilly’s words, such as calling Dr. Charles Jago an “unqualified patsy.” Dr. Jago’s resume speaks for itself, and there’s simply no reason to call his integrity into question. That said, I understand Mr. Pengilly is frustrated. This is a tough economic time for everyone, and the province simply could not justify the tax hikes it would take to pay for the BCTF’s de-

mands. Bill 22 means B.C. teachers accepting the same deal as every other public sector worker in the province. It’s important to note net-zero does not mean there will be no wage increases. Teachers will still be eligible for automatic pay raises, year after year, within the salary grid for their particular position. It’s also worth pointing out B.C. teachers received a 16 per cent increase in the last round of negotiations. Finally, I want to sincerely thank Mr. Pengilly for his 13 years of coaching. I’m sure the students whose lives he has touched appreciate his time, support and wisdom. Ben Stewart, MLA WestsideKelowna

NEWS â&#x2013;ź MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT

The day after: What happens after a flood S pring has come, bringing with it warmer temperaturesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and, unfortunately, spring floods. Seasonal precipitation mixed with extensive melt raises water levels in creeks and lakes, which increases the risk of flooding. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not news to anyone who lives here. But while the Okanagan is no stranger to

Ben Stewart floods, this year has been

particularly challenging. I wish there was a way to effectively prevent these disasters but, unfortunately, when it comes to natural disasters our primary role in government is encouraging residents to be prepared and working with emergency responders to coordinate information. Once something like flooding occurs, I am in regular contact with orga-

BECAUSEĂ&#x2019;WEĂ&#x2019;LIVEĂ&#x2019;HERE

nizations such as local fire and police departments, Emergency Management British Columbia, and of course municipal and regional governments. I work closely with District of West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater to ensure the province and district continue to reinforce each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts and deliver assistance as quickly as possible to the residents of Hitchner Road. Of course, when people are affected by floodsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and as soon as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear everyone is safeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only natural they will next consider the financial implications. Put simply, for the families and businesses

whose homes and livelihoods are affected, floods are enormously expensive. One of my first calls was to Attorney General Shirley Bond, whose ministry includes the B.C. Disaster Financial Assistance Program (DFA). Disaster assistance for victims of the April floods was authorized on May 11. Once authorized, the DFA pays up to 80 per cent of eligible repairs to a maximum of $300,000. Unfortunately, these processes take time. We are not yet able to determine compensation for people impacted by the current flooding. Once the water recedes and damage assess-

ments are made we will move forward with offering eligible compensation. People in areas affected by a significant disaster will be advised through local announcements when DFA has been authorized in their area. Local government is also eligible for DFA to repair or restore essential infrastructures. Of course, the best advice is to avoid damage and the need for financial assistance by being prepared. I urge all Central Okanagan residents to take action well before flood waters become a real threat. If you happened to notice the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online emergency prepared-

ness campaign, you may have noticed the advice is strikingly similar to getting prepared for all kinds of disasters: Review insurance policies, assemble a â&#x20AC;&#x153;grab and goâ&#x20AC;? kit of important documents, medications, a change of clothes, pet supplies, etc., in case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re forced to evacuate. To report a serious flood situation that may endanger life, safety or necessitate an emergency evacuation, call Emergency Management B.C. at 1-800-663-3456 or visit their website, www.pep. bc.ca.

â&#x2013;ź SUMMER CAMP

Local school offers creative summer care

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of thought went into finding the perfect first house, ...thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we insure our home through Western Financial Group.â&#x20AC;?

Many local families struggle to find childcare during the summer holidays. First Lutheran Christian School offers a solution that not only provides fun for participants, but a chance to keep their minds active all summer, too. Summer Day Camps will be offered during all 10 weeks of summer holidays, from June 25 to Aug.1. A variety of themes are available to keep children engaged and allow them opportunities to explore an array of interests. During Inventorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Week, for example, children will get the chance to explore the science of matter,

electricity and space. Critical thinking exercises and hands-on experimenting are intended to challenge minds. Movie Makers week will be a unique opportunity to learn shooting and editing techniques. Students will work through creating a story and writing a script in order to create their own film on an iPad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realize that for some families, it is business as usual over the summer and they need stable and consistent childcare. For other families, their children may wish to participate in a week or two of engaging, hands-on camps to explore their

own interests,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Wiens, day camp coordinator and Grade 1/2 teacher at First Lutheran Christian School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to be able to accommodate families in both scenarios and provide exceptional care and programming in our state-of-the art environment.â&#x20AC;? First Lutheran Christian School summer day camps are offered at the school, which is located in the Lower Mission at 4095 Lakeshore Rd.

Students win Skills Canada bronze

Two Okanagan College students returned from the two-day Skills Canada competition, held last week in Edmonton, with hard won bronze medals. Alexander Travis, who is taking the first year of his aircraft maintenance engineering program, and Zander Erasmus, who graduates this year from electronic engineering technology, were among 24 B.C. students who returned home with medals. This year’s competition drew more than 500 of the mostly highly skilled trades students in the country to compete against each other in the Olympic-style event. “It was intense,” said 18-year-old Travis. “It gave me a much better understanding of what I need to work on when I’m in school.”

‘‘

SOME OF THE INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES CAME TO RECRUIT, AND ALL WERE WILLING TO SHARE WHAT THEY KNEW WITH THE STUDENTS. Kevin Bradshaw, OC instructor

“Alex set himself up on the fast track to be successful in his career,” said his instructor Dale Martell. “He withstood the pressure, grew with it and the result speaks for itself.” For Erasmus, 20, the bronze medal was a perfect way to cap off his final year.

“We had to pull him out of his finals exams here in Kelowna to take him to compete, but it was worth it,” said Erasmus’ college instructor Kevin Bradshaw. Both instructors helped coach their students for the national competition, made possible thanks to their gold medal wins at the provincial level. The competition attracts dozens of representatives from various industries interested in up-andcoming developments in trades and technologies, something Erasmus took advantage of. “I had a long chat with the president of Fluke over lunch and was able to talk with employees from many companies around Canada about their work and employment,” Erasmus said. The company is a world leader in the manu-

facturing, distribution and service of electronic test tools and software, and one of many corporations that attend the event, in part to recruit future employees. “That’s one of the real benefits of this event—it gives students a chance to meet their peers and find mentors in the industry,” said Bradshaw. “Some of the industry representatives came to recruit, and all were willing to share what they knew with the students.” Skills Canada was launched in 1994, and is the only national multitrade and technology competition for young students and apprentices in the country. Gold medalists from the Edmonton competition will take part in the world skills event to be held in Germany in July 2013.

DOUG FARROW/CAPITAL NEWS

REPRESENTING the local chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association,

Candace Giesbrecht makes a three-minute presentation seeking business sponsorship support for the association’s programs as part of a pilot project held at Okanagan College organized by Kelowna Community Resources.

▼ PILOT PROJECT

Forging partnerships for a community’s benefit Triple bottom line, corporate citizenship, corporate social responsibility, shared value—many phrases are used to describe the growing focus of business on aligning their practices with the greater good. With the increasing focus on the needs of communities, cutbacks in traditional funding and an increased demand for services, an opportunity exists for partnerships between for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Last Thursday, Kelowna Community Resources hosted a networking event at Okanagan College, Centre for Learning Atrium on the Kelowna campus. The networking exercise is the next phase of the Corporate Social Responsibility Pilot Project, sponsored by Kelowna Community Resources. The idea behind this pilot project is to bring together a cross-section of nonprofit organizations and businesses located throughout the Central Okanagan to explore how each can better develop strategic, sustainable relationships. Thursday’s networking session gave the non-profit participants an opportuni-

ty to pitch their organizations to the audience, including the business participants who will view their presentations through the lens of their newly developed corporate social responsibility plans. This networking event allowed both groups the chance to put into practice what had been discussed in previous workshops “One of the complaints we hear from the business community is they are inundated with requests for non-profit support but the ideas coming before them are not well thought out, such as how corporate social responsibility branding would be enhanced by supporting a particular group,” said Dawn Wilkinson, with Kelowna Community Resources. “That corporate social responsibility branding is not going away anytime soon so non profits and businesses need to understand how each can benefit by supporting one another.” Wilkinson says lessons learned from this pilot project, involving nine non profits and nine businesses, can hopefully help forge better communication between the business and non-profit groups.

Employment insurance reform is a very sensitive subject O ur federal government’s recent introduction of proposed reforms to the employment insurance system has prompted the expected furor from both sides of the debate. As Finance Minister Jim Flaherty astutely noted last week, employment insurance is “a very sensitive subject” in this country. The optimistically-named (like “life insurance,” perhaps focusing on the positive makes it more palatable) employment insurance system will be revised with new definitions of key terms such as “suitable employment” and “reasonable job search” and “frequent claimant.” The practical result of these changes is plainly intended to reduce the financial burden employment insurance benefits place on the public purse. As columnist Jeffrey Simpson put it in the Globe and Mail, reaction to those modest changes will (in some areas) “be loud, furious and perhaps politically damaging.” We Canadians seem to have a hate-hate relationship with the employment insurance system. In my experience, people who have been fortunate enough not to have ever claimed benefits view it suspiciously, as a drain on their earnings and a subsidization of the lazy and unskilled. People who do have a need for employment insurance benefits seem, in my experience, to feel that the weekly payments are too minimal and too short-lived. Surely, the federal government’s pending changes will only exacerbate this feeling. Still, I have the sense that as a society we are collectively proud of the fact that this aspect of our Canadian social safety net exists. It’s something we can point to— along with universal medical coverage, publicly funded education, etc.—as separating us from many

YOU WORK other countries of world. But, like HERE the health care and ed-

Robert Smithson

tor of wealth. It’s money that, in a sense, is transferred from the hands of the “haves” directly into the hands of the “have nots.” It seems that the most frequent recipients of employment insurance benefits are employees in seasonal industries such as forestry, fishing and tourism. In these cyclical industries, employment is very much on-again, off-again. In certain regions, alternative employment to fill those offagain periods may be hard to come by. In a sense, employment insurance is the price we all pay as Canadians to have those cyclical—but important—industries and to have people who are willing to fill those sporadic jobs. I don’t know if you’ve seen any episodes of the TV show “Deadliest Catch,” but I’d far rather those guys get employment insurance for a few months every year than for me to have to go catching crabs myself. The Globe and Mail’s letters to the editor, this past weekend, depicted the starkly differing ways in which Canadians view the employment insurance system. One letter writer wrote: “Most Canadians are not aware of how little is provided by the employment insurance system to workers. The maximum payment is $485 a week, no matter what you earned while employed. Could you live on less than $2,000 a month?” The other side of the fence was highlighted by a second writer: “EI recipients who have abused the system have forced the government to set higher bars all around.

ucation, our pride doesn’t prevent us from griping about it. Functionally, employment insurance strikes me as an effective concept in the sense that it serves as a pinpoint redistribu-

users are still refusing jobs and this is unacceptable.” If there’s anything we Canadians don’t like, it’s our neighbours undeservedly getting something for free. So, what can be said about this initiative? First, I have to give the federal government some credit for being willing to tread in such sensitive territory. Really, it would be far easier and politically expedient for a government to just leave the system alone. Second, will these changes actually result in fewer people receiving employment insurance benefits and, thus, savings for the public purse? I’d be willing to wager a dollar or two that, five years from now, we’ll look back and see that actual benefits payouts have not decreased appreciably at all. Third, I’ve often wondered about the relationship (if any) between the weekly employment insurance benefits maximum and legislated minimum wage levels. If the letter writer I referred to earlier had it right that the weekly maximum is $485 at present while the minimum wage in most parts of the country is in the vicinity of $10 or $11 per hour, then I wonder whether there is a built-in disincentive for unemployed people to take some forms of less desirable work. Would you take a job for around $450 per week if you thought you could get $485 in employment insurance benefits? The debate over the federal government’s initiative to change the employment insurance system will continue until pushed off the agenda by the next big thing. Once the furor has subsided, I suspect the system still won’t have many fans. Robert Smithson is a labour and employment lawyer, and operates Smithson Employment Law in Kelowna.

BUSINESS ▼ ENTREPRENEURS

Society helps open doors to achieve business dreams I have had the unmistakable privilege of founding the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society a few short years ago as a provincially registered non-profit organization and primary resource for our regional entrepreneurial world. Our board of directors has suggested that I prepare a few words for you this week about the benefits entrepreneurship societies, and extend a sincere invitation for you to explore how our society may assist you, your friends or loved ones to embrace their own “entrepreneurial spirit.” So how can you take to become an active part of the science of entrepreneurship and how can you benefit from joining entrepreneur or other small business professional associations? A professional association such as our society is a formal group that brings together individuals with a genuine interest in advancing professionally in a particular field or occupation. In most cases, professional associations such as the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society, which we believe to be the first of its kind in B.C. to be founded, operate on a regional level in various

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young markets. But why would you entertain joining such a society? Because no matter what field you may work in, there’s a lot of truth to the saying that who you know is just as important as what you know. Frankly, there is no substitute for building a strong contact network that includes like-minded others who are entrepreneurial in nature and may seek to market products and services to the same group of customers you hope to reach. The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society has been established to contribute to the development of entrepreneurial leaders in the Okanagan Valley through the creation of relevant programs, services and activities. OVES offers a place to network with other entrepreneurially-minded people, to build and grow friendships and alliances, to join an established network of professionals that

are readily available to share information, ideas, experiences and successful entrepreneurial journeys. Over a two year period of research within the Okanagan region and existing entrepreneurial structures, it was identified that a significant gap exists where existing and aspiring entrepreneurs could collaborate and share comfortably with one another and relevant service providers. This gap, in addition to a complementary need for the creation of a regional entrepreneurship strategy with an accompanying culture paradigm shift, inspired an opportunity to establish our society model. Our society’s mission is to create an atmosphere for innovation and creativity (cornerstones of entrepreneurship) by striving to establish an organization of entrepreneurial leaders and to enhance the growth of entrepreneurial ventures throughout the Okanagan. How would that be done? Through guidance, coaching and mentoring, resources and access to the tools necessary to design and launch a potentially successful venture. Any individual with the passion, commitment

and drive together with a well-researched idea may become an entrepreneurial leader, seeking their personal best to launch an entrepreneurial venture. Our society is for anyone who has the passion to awaken their entrepreneurial spirit and wants to surround themselves in a group of like-minded individuals. We are truly people that are passionately goaloriented, seeking to effect a significant change in our lives and become financially free in this lifetime by becoming our own boss and taking charge of our destiny. Our society looks for people who are interested in launching a new venture or have other entrepreneurial ideas for themselves and wish constructive feedback from their peers. We reach out to people who love the dream of creating and building their own entrepreneurial venture, who love to be creative and innovative in any aspect of their life at the same time use their leadership and business skills to make a difference in other people’s lives. Our society now is involved with: • hosting monthly townhall meetings with powerfully beneficial dis-

cussion topics, tours of entrepreneurial ventures, educational seminars and workshops, coaching and mentoring; • a loan program for young men and women between 18 and 34 who wish to launch their first venture; and • access to a vast network of Okanagan region

entrepreneurial resources. Now that I have pretty much exhausted my dissertation on our society, I now wish to extend a genuine invitation to all of my dear readers to explore an investigative journey with our Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. It could become your own threshold to the en-

trepreneurial world and the pursuit of self-employment. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership educator, consultant and educator and founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

Ogopogo Rotary Club of Kelowna is in the final stages of preparation for its 15th annual Lobster Dinner, Dance and Auction on Saturday, June 2, at Parkinson Recreation Centre. Bibs are being cut for up to 300 Lobsterfest fans, this year, as hundreds of succulent, fresh lobsters will be flown in direct from the waters of Nova Scotia for one of Kelowna’s most anticipated charity dinner extravaganzas. This is Ogopogo Rotary’s major annual fundraising event, one of the largest volunteer run dinner fundraisers hosted in Kelowna. Ogopogo Rotary Club president-elect Matt Simpson said: “We seem to compete with more events every year, and while ticket sales are a bit behind previous years, we anticipate a great crowd of lobster lovers and Rotary supporters will be on hand, again, this year.” All proceeds raised go directly to support the many important community projects sponsored by the Ogopogo Rotarians. Last year, almost $40,000 in total contributions helped Ogopogo Rotary to provide new mattresses for KGH Hospice House and a new Personal Aquatic Lift for Parkinson Recreation pool members with mobility challenges. These funds also enable the club to continue with youth programs like the Adventure in Tourism career program, inbound and outbound exchange student program, and to continue to assist select charitable organizations within our community. Tickets for the lobster dinner are $75/person. Singles, couples and table bookings are welcome, but seating is limited so book early. For ticket and event information, contact Rotarians Gord Fawcett at 250575-7314, or email gordon.fawcett@td.com.

BUSINESS ▼ FINANCE

The outside factors besides sales that determine cash flow

ash is how your business runs on a day to day basis. It’s how your business is able to pay its suppliers and other bills based on the sales that come in. Seems simple enough, but why is it that we suddenly find ourselves short on cash? When you start a new business, you are asked to provide a schedule of cash flows to a lender, if you need start-up cash. r This can be a simple rExcel worksheet that will show the lender when you expect the funds to come in and is an indication of your ability to make tyour regular expense paytments. Many banks now have programs to help small businesses along with fsome very helpful books fand pamphlets on this subject. You will need to understand the difference between a source of cash and a use of cash. For example, an accounts receivable is the result of a sale that has already used cash. You had to buy the intventory and pay the salaries in order to make the sale. But until that cash is tactually received, the receivable is a use of cash. When you are new in business, cash flow is very difficult to determine. Besides, you want to go out there and make sales, you really don’t STORES

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka want to monitor the cash that comes in. Isn’t that for accounting? Well actually, no, it’s part of business management. The good news is that in about three years, your customers become regular and your expenses are regular, so you tend to have a pretty stable cash flow. Then you can base your cash flow planning on historical data and plan to buy things such as new furniture for the office, or new computers or hire another person. Some new business owners believe that sales= cash, but that is not the case because you need to convert those sales into cash, especially if you allow sales on account. From those sales, you need to account for the payment of the expenses required to make the sale, so cash can be sometimes substantially lower than sales. If you use a spreadsheet or some other means of planning your cash flow, then you can punch in some numbers into that spreadsheet to determine what an inCOUPONS

crease in expenditures or sales will have on cash in the future (the what if analysis), which is a lot better than discovering that your bank balance is zero and you need to rob Peter to pay Paul. This spreadsheet won’t always be 100% correct because there are always unforeseen expenses or sales that didn’t happen, but at least you will have some sort of a guide. You could enter in an expense amount of dollars per period just so that you have a bit of a cushion should things go sideways.

You could automatically separate out your statutory payables into a separate bank account so that the funds are there when due. For example, taking 12% from every sale to put towards HST, or 20% towards payroll deductions, or 20% towards corporate taxes payable. If the money is not in the general account, you are less likely to dip into it. Take this example. You’ve made sales of $50,000 but your inventory is low and you need $30,000, you have to pay rent of $10,000,

you haven’t collected the entire $50,000 yet because some is on account ($15,000) and you have payroll at the end of the week of $10,000. So you would need $50,000 (30,000 + 10,000 + 20,000) and you only have $35,000 (50,000— 15,000), a shortfall of $15,000. The sales on account may be paid in time to meet payroll, but now that you have looked at your situation on a spreadsheet, you can be prepared. You can collect those receivables earlier, or you can decide not to buy as much invento-

ry. You could try to defer the payroll, but that usually doesn’t go over well with staff. What about growing your business? Many new business owners plan on growing their business in the first few years and if their product takes off, their sales take off as well, but the expenses also take off and suddenly there is no cash. So growing your business too quickly is actually detrimental to cash flow and needs to be a strategic decision. Perhaps it may be better to keep your sales or

revenues at a constant level and focus on improving profits. Choosing to grow your business will also make demands of your personal time and financial resources. Gabriele Banka is a Certified General Accountant and the owner of Banka & Company Inc. in Kelowna. info@bankaco.com

Frandsen, Calder win silver Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

JACKIE SKENDER/ROWING CANADA

KELOWNA’S Scott Frandsen (right) and partner Dave Calder celebrate their silver medal at the World Rowing Cup Sunday in Swizterland.

Kelowna’s Scott Frandsen and partner Dave Calder of Victoria are rounding into form in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The Canadian duo stroked their way to a silver medal Sunday at the Samsung World Rowing Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland.The favoured New Zealanders won in 6:24.04, overtaking Frandsen and Calder— the Beijing silver medalists in 2008—who led for half of the race and finished in 6:26.77. Greece finished with the bronze medal in 6:30.04.

“We had a good solid race today,” Frandsen said Sunday following the race. “We kind of stayed within our boat for the first 12 to 15 and got into a good solid pace, and we were right there. “And then we wanted to step on towards the end, we held with them for good portion of that, and then they pushed away at the end.” Fransden said the latest medal performance showed the Canadian pair is a legitimate threat to be in the mix at this summer’s Olympic Games. “A good step in the right in the right direction to come into this weekend wanting to be prove that we’re contenders and I think we did that,” he said.

“I think all the pressure is still definitely on New Zealand, everyone thinks they’re easily the and favourites but we’re fine with that. We want to be contenders, prove it over the next two months and see what happens.” Canada has seven boats qualified for the London 2012 Olympics. Most of the Canadian team, including Frandsen and Calder, will now head home to train, while the women’s eight will stay to train and compete in Europe. Frandsen will be appearing in his third Oylmpic Games. He was also a member of the men’s eights which finished fifth at the 2004 games in Athens.

Young Challenge still searching for first win Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

It’s not always easy being the defending champs. Just ask the 2012 edition of the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Okanagan Challenge who are without a win five games into the new campaign. The Challenge came up short in their first two home contests of the season, losing to Bellingham United and the Vancouver Thunderbirds over the weekend at the Apple Bowl. With a huge turnover

from last year’s squad and the youngest roster in the PCSL—an average age of around 20—the Challenge are experiencing some growing pains. “It’s a very competitive league, the physicality of it takes some time to get used to for our younger guys, but they’re developing and gaining experience with each game,” said captain Dustin Luck, who is sidelined with a knee injury and is helping coach the team. “We’ve had teams before that have taken time to come together, so we just have to stick with it. The guys just

have to keep their heads up, play hard and keep building. There’s still time to turn things around.” On Saturday, the Challenge scored first at the four-minute mark to take a 1-0 lead but Bellingham roared back for a 5-2 victory. Zach Donaldson-Hall and Enzo Paal scored the goals for Okanagan. On Sunday, the Challenge were better against the Thunderbirds but still came away with a 3-1 defeat. Donaldson-Hall scored the lone marker on a PK. “We played them well

and if we could have got a couple of breaks, it may have been different,” said Luck, one of 10 players on the roster who has played for the UBCO Heat. “It’s a learning process and I can see the guys are already getting better.” The Challenge are on the road this weekend as they visit the Victoria Highlanders Saturday, 7 p.m. at Hampton Park.

Bantam Heat strike gold The Kelowna Heat turned aside all challengers to win the gold medal at the 2012 edition of their bantam B U16 girls fastball tournament. The Heat capped a perfect 7-0 weekend at High Noon Park with a wild 11-9 victory over Surrey Storm 97 in Sunday’s championship final. Kelowna rallied for five runs in the seventh inning of the final which

featured 11 lead changes and 23 hits between the teams. Tessa Barbour had two hits and two RBIs for the Heat, while Julia Lambert recorded the win, despite yielding nine runs over seven innings. After going undefeated in the round robin, the Heat defeated Langley Rebels 96 in the first game of the playoffs 5-2. Hayden Craig

homered, Lambert struck out six and allowed just four hits. In the semifinal, Brett Needham had three hits as the Heat downed Ladysmith 9-4. Shea Skarbo and Tessa Barbour each had RBI doubles. The Heat took care of business in the round robin with four straight wins—7-0 over Langley Rebels 96, 17-3 over North Delta, 14-5 over

the Poco Ravens and 13-1 over the Ladysmith Diamonds. Brett Needham paced the offense over the weekend with a .700 average, Craig hit .538, Barbour and Taylor Bengert batted .500, and Lori Miki hit .429. Lambert was on the mound for four of the seven games. The Heat’s overall record this season is 18-8-1.

Lutz top junior trapshooter in B.C. When it comes to a keen eye and steady hands, not many can measure up to Kelowna’s Jake Lutz. The 13-year-old KLO student dominated his age division earlier this month at the B.C. Provincial Trapshooting Championships in Vernon, winning eight medals. Lutz, who practices at the Kelowna Trap and

Skeet Club, captured first place in the three biggest events for junioraged competitors: singles, doubles and handicapped. In the singles competition—featuring two events combined—Lutz connected on 189 out of 200 targets. In doubles—shooting two birds at a time— he scored on 86 out of 100

shots. And in the handicapped junior finals, he nailed 93 out of 100 targets to take top honours. For a youngster who only took up the sport seriously 1 1/2 years ago, Lutz has shown considerable skill and ability. “I used to be in archery, but I wanted to try something different,” said

Lutz. “My mom said I should try trap, and since I was already out at the club, I thought why not ? I did pretty well at it right away and I really like it.” Lutz usually shoots twice week at the Kelowna Trap and Skeet Club, an arm of the Kelowna Fish and Game Club. While he doesn’t have a coach, Lutz said he’s

been getting plenty of assistance and tips from club members. “The guys at the club are really good,” he said. “If you ever need anything, they’re there to help.” Lutz’s next major event in the Grand Pacific Trapshooting Tournament this summer in Olympia, Wash.

Jr. Raiders host Flames this Thursday CONTRIBUTED

KELOWNA’S Jake Lutz is B.C.’s top junior trapshooter after winning eight medals earlier this month at provincials in Vernon.

The Kelowna Raiders will look for their third win of the season as they host the South Okanagan Flames Thursday night in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action.

Face off at Memorial Arena is 7:30 p.m. The Raiders picked up their second win of 2012 with a 9-8 verdict over the visiting Vernon Tigers on Thursday at Memorial. Scott Renner and

Kelowna Men’s Soccer League recap

In Division 1 play, Illegal Aliens and LCSC Woody’s Pub battled to a 1-1 draw, leaving the Aliens unable to keep pace with the top teams in the division. Things started well for the Aliens with a good dose of possesion to start the game that would lead to their first goal from Lewis Morris. In the second half an kerror in the Aliens backline sprung Ahmed Almoraih free to have a clean shot on goal. He made no mistake slipping it past rAlien’s keeper Paul Gosset to give them the oneall draw. Subcity/Executive Flooring earned their second win over the year over winless Boca Juniors, 2-1, after they got an own goal and a converted penalty kick from Alejandro Martinez. Dakoda’s Celtic won their fourth of the year, bringing their point total to 13 after a tight 1-0 win over the underachieving Konkast Stallions through a late goal from Tristan Morach. Brandt’s Creek Pub FC would bounce back after their first loss of the season, last week, to trounce SOB FC 8-1. Modern Furniture Pikeys kept their perfect record intact with a 5-2 win over Ecora FC. Goals for Pikeys from Justin Kandola, Matt Reese, Mike Kozak, Joel Walker, and Dan Hunt. Ecora’s goals from Matt Gomez and Luigi Coccaro. • In Division 2 action: Spartan Metal would get their first win of the year over LCSC Athletics who were without both first

and second string keepers. Spartan Metal would use the hat-trick performance of Carter Bowen. Euro FC missed an opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the division after a 1-1 draw with YOLO FC. Fresh Air FC would get their first win of the year, handing Barcekelona a 3-0 loss. Fresh Air got two from Alex Linke, while Chris Bitcon would claim the clean sheet in goal for Fresh Air. FBFC scored a hefty victory over Gunners FC on goals by Chris Deme, Randal Wright, and two from Brock Sauerwein. In a battle of two top half teams in the standings, Lifeworks Chriopractic and Iris Optometry Wave FC battled to a oneall draw with goals coming from Luke Turri and Nic Race, respectively. • In Division 3A action: NCA Lakers kept their flawless record intact with a 6-1 win over the Brewsers. Even with a backup keeper in goal for NCA, they could not be stopped as Kyle Gatner potted four goals in the win. Apna FC took advantage of LCSC Old Milwaukees only having nine players and ran away with a 6-0 victory. Watson Bros Rented Mules and Warthogs FC battled it out to a 2-2 draw with Nick Hanet getting a pair for the Warthogs. Royal Star kept within striking distance of division leaders NCA with a 6-1 win over Baxters. • In Division 3B action: LCSC United picked up their third win of the

season after upending Big Surf FC 2-0. Topline Selections recorded a convincing 8-0 victory after Phantoms were forced to call the game early into the second half due to short players. Red Devils and Seca Marine Kickers

had a bit of a chippy affair with a good handful of yellow cards each on the way to a 1-1 draw. Division 3B leaders, Frenzy FC, continued to march along after moving past the Brewhahas 6-3.

Brendan Urban powered Kelowna’s attack with three goals each. Andrew McMillan had a goal and three assists, while Nick Evans and Dillon MacLennan each added a goal and two assists for the Raiders. Kelowna is 2-2-1 on the season.

SENIOR RAIDERS… The Kelowna Raiders jumped on Armstrong

early and never looked back en route to a 12-3 win over the Shamrocks Friday in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League action at Memorial Arena. The Raiders dominated with their defensive game, shutting down the Rocks’ offense and winning the majority of loose ball battles. Dave Haas, Vic Wiens, Darren and Devan Lorn-

son, Owen Barski, Brian Jette, Sean Blake and Andrew Habib led Kelowna’s defensive effort, while Graham Cousins was solid in goal. The Raiders’ scoring was spread out amongst the forwards, while defenders Barski and Wiens scored twice each. The Raiders (5-2) return to action Friday when they visit the Kamloops Rattlers.

Bike Brigade picking up speed

New motorcycle helmet law is a real head case

You never know when a brilliant idea will strike. For Martin Bell, it happened while cycling the streets of Kelowna. “The idea for the 100 Bike Brigade happened as I rode up Knox Mountain,” said Bell. “I realized that I had just travelled about 30 kilometres on great bike paths and cycle lanes. “They didn’t happen by accident and likely didn’t happen without a lot of hard work by volunteers and community leaders.” Martin knew he wanted to show his appreciation for the current cycling infrastructure in Kelowna. “I wanted to say thank-you somehow for this great amenity and thought the best way to do so would be to encourage others to get out and experience the bike lanes.” So on Friday, April 20, 2012, the 100-Bike Brigade set off on its inaugural Friday morning bike ride. Two groups make up the Brigade, one group leaves from the Red Barn in the Mission at 7:15 a.m., and the other from the corner of Glenmore Road and Union Road in

IN FIVE YEARS, I HOPE THE 100 BIKE BRIGADE BECOMES AN ENERGETIC TRADITION. Martin Bell

CONTRIBUTED

MARTIN BELL, right, founder of the 100 Bike Brigade and Tim Blackburn were among 30 cyclists who commuted to downtown Kelowna from the Mission last Friday morning. Glenmore at 7:30 a.m. Both groups arrive downtown before 8 a.m. “The hope is to ‘pickup’ other riders,” said Bell. “And at some point we hope to have 100 riders commuting in.”

In the future, Martin sees the Brigade encouraging residents to cycle more and drive less. “In five years, I hope the 100 Bike Brigade becomes an energetic tradition,” said Bell.

“It could become a piece of the community’s fabric that encourages people to come together, get to know their neighbours and enjoy cycling in a safe and encouraging environment.” Last Friday morning’s bike ride kicked off Bike to Work Week in Kelowna, with more than 30 riders cycling in from the Red Barn in the Mission. Bike to Work Week is a fun community event that encourages everyone to try commuter cycling by providing resources and prizes for new and continuing cyclists. It runs May 28 to June 3 this year. “We are honoured to be kicking off Bike to Work Week this year,” said Bell. “It’s a perfect fit.”

The Beanie. The Skull Cap. The Brain Bucket. The Skid Lid. As of June 1, if you are a resident of British Columbia and ride a motorcycle, you will no longer be able to wear the above mentioned helmet types. The new “regulation” will allow police to enforce a safety measure to outlaw all and any helmets that do not meet the international safety standards outlined by the DOT (Department of Transportation). For those that do not comply, our boys in blue will hand out a hefty fine of $138. This, according to B.C. Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond, will minimize the number of motorcycle injuries and deaths in our province. Although I am not against the new law, I am not entirely one to raise my hand in approval, either. For one, if you read the local paper, browse the Internet or watch the evening news, you will hear of motorcycle deaths not only within our province, but across the country as well. To be sure, most of these occur at intersections and/or stop signs, where another motorist has run over a rid-

er, crushing him/her to death; where a biker was rammed from behind and ended up underneath a semi-trailer or 18-wheeler with a broken neck; or, as a recent victim here in the Okanagan experienced, slipping on a patch of fresh oil and sliding into oncoming traffic. In each one of these cases, both rider and passenger were wearing the appropriate gear—DOT approved helmet, leather jacket, chaps, and protective gloves. Unfortunately, because of internal bleeding and other related injuries, the riders died. It also should be mentioned that more often than not, serious accidents causing death, such as the recent fatal accident on May 22 involving a motorcyclist who lost control of his bike on Springfield Road and collided with another vehicle, involve riders who do not carry the proper, or any, insurance—even though they have full-face or “legal” helmets. My beef, if I can call it that, comes with the way it’s being implemented and the timing of it all. Is it just another chance for the government to reach even deeper into our pockets? Is it because the summer season is upon us and speeding tickets in the Okanagan are at an alltime low? Or maybe due to the

recent allegations of sexual misconduct within the RCMP, this is just a smokescreen to distract from the larger problems at hand. Now I am not one of those “counterculture” types who believes in some form of “purity” when I ride a motorcycle that only comes when the wind is blowing through my hair or when I can feel the sun on my face, as if the gods are blessing and protecting me in my quest for ultimate freedom. What I am, though, is one who questions everything and anything that can—and will—indeed infringe upon my rights and freedoms as a Canadian Citizen. My right to protect myself how I see fit—not how Parliament does. “Come on, Cris,” you may say, “For real? It’s just a freakin’ helmet! What’s the big deal?” The big deal is that, as usual, The Powers That Be are focusing on a minor point in a weak attempt to change a major one. I feel that riders should purchase the best helmet that money can buy, and one that suits their needs. The issue at hand is clearly not what one wears, but how one rides. A helmet will not save a life, but a rider who is aware of their surroundings and proactive when riding—i.e. watching the road ahead, checking their mirrors, not stopping to close to the vehicle in front, and basically keeping their eyes, ears, and nose on the road— will greatly increase not only their chances of survival should a potentially deadly situation transpire, but also enhance their enjoyment. It is known that more people will die in a Smart Car this year, an aeroplane, a boat or crossing the street than on a motorcycle. And those very same individuals that will see their demise while engaging in every day, natural activities never thought that it would happen to them. All while wearing seat belts, life jackets, helmets, and looking both ways when crossing the street. So, be vigilant in everything you do. Be smart. Be safe. Be free.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen Born to Grill Food Network chef Robert Rainford was in town the other weekend, demonstrating some recipes from his new book, Rob Rainford’s Born to Grill, for Save On-Foods customers at Orchard Plaza, so I stopped by to meet him. He’s just as cheery and in command of the grill in person as he appears to be on television, and there were lots of fans dropping by to meet him and sample fare from his book. One local fan even brought along his previous book, Grilled to Perfection, for Rob to sign as well as purchasing his latest. In this current book, he offers 20 menus for meals around the backyard barbecue, many of which include some exotic flavours such as these North African dishes. In all, there are more than 100 recipes for everything from chicken to ribs, beef to fish, with everything in between and lots of dishes to go with those basics. His recipes are easy to follow and most of them are interesting. We paired these lamb koftas with the Siren’s Call 2010 Merlot made by the Artisan Group and winemaker Mark Simpson, which was bursting with bright fruit flavours and a hint of spice that paired well with this exotic-flavoured meat dish. These wines include the Siren’s call series and the Include wines, and both are available online at: http://theartisancollection.ca/ For more barbecuing recipes, pick up a copy of my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available at bookstores, wine shops and the B.C. Wine Museum. It includes pairings by renowned wine writer John Schreiner for many of the more than 200 recipes, and it’s arranged by the seasons so you can be inspired by local products, in season. Food lovers should be aware of a couple of upcoming events: the June 1st Earth Wine and Fire extravaganza at the Delta Grand with our best local chefs as well as Culinary Team B.C. and local wineries helping to raise funds for the Nature Trust of B.C. Then, there's the second annual Okanagan Spot Prawn Festival, this time at the Cove Resort in West Kelowna June 2, 1 to 4 p.m. with top chefs from around the valley and Vancouver offering $2 tastes.

Yogurt Garlic Cucumber Dip I made a hybrid version of this dip, which is based on the Middle Eastern Tzatziki, using some of Robert Rainford’s recipe and some of mine, so I’ll provide his and tell you where I varied it. We loved the addition of fresh lemon juice (I used the sweeter Meyer lemons) and fresh mint from my garden to the usual Tzatziki. I didn’t bother with the olive oil. 1 1/4 c. (310 ml) English cucumber 1 tsp. (5 ml) kosher salt 2 c. (500 ml) whole milk yogurt 2 tbsp. (30 ml) finely-chopped fresh mint 1 tbsp. (15 ml) olive oil 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh lemon juice 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) fresh black pepper Seed the cucumber and finely dice it in a colander and sprinkle with three-quarters

of the salt. Toss very well and let drain in the sink for 30 minutes. (I’m lazy and grated the whole cucumber into a bowl, salted it and left it for a few minutes, then pressed the excess water out and drained it.) While the cucumber drains, spoon the yogurt into another colander lined with a coffee filter and let stand for 15 minutes. (I used fat-free yogurt and I didn’t drain it.) When the cucumber has drained, grab a few layers of paper towel, place the cucumber in the middle of the layers and press down lightly to draw out as much excess moisture as possible from the cucumber. In a bowl, stir together the strained yogurt, cucumber, mint, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper and remaining salt. (I used minced green onion too.) Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serves 4-6.

Egyptian Lamb Koftas Although I followed the recipe exactly, my meat mixture was not firm enough to stay on the skewers, so I ended up grilling these on their own and they were very delicate until the egg cooked enough to hold everything together. However, they were absolutely delicious. 3/4 lb. (375 g) ground lamb 1/4 lb. (125 g) ground beef 1 large onion, finely grated 1/4 c. (60 ml) fresh parsley 1 egg 1 tbsp. (15 ml) olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely grated 1 tbsp. (15 ml) ground allspice 1 1/2 tsp. (8 ml) kosher salt 2 tsp. (10 ml) fresh black pepper oil for the barbecue Mix meat and grate onion into it. Finely chop fresh parsley and mix all remaining ingredients together in a large bowl until well

combined. Place mixture in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 24 hours. Take the mixture out of the bag and form into eight even-size portions, shaped like mini footballs. Run a skewer through the length of each. Pre-heat the grill to medium-high (if you are using charcoal, heat the coals until a thick white ash develops) Oil the grate. (I used a spray oil and sprayed one side of the koftas instead and it worked fine.) Place the koftas on the hot grill. Make sure to sear them well before you try to turn them, and turn carefully or they will break apart. Grill the koftas until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 150 to 160 F. (65 to 71 C) Remove from skewers and serve in pita bread. We added dollops of Yogurt Dip and grilled local asparagus. Makes 8.
