Mistake stalls free wine trade policy adoption
Nurses overworked in new KGH tower Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It was a mistake that resulted in yesterday’s filibuster in the House of Commons that stalled legislation to permit free trade in wine amongst Canadian provinces, says southern Interior New Democrat MP Alex Atamanenko. Private Members’ Bill C-311, presented by Okanagan-Coquihalla Conservative MP Dan Albas, had the support of all parties prior to it going for third reading in the Commons yesterday, but debate on the bill was limited and time ran out before it finished. Atamanenko admitted his party has been very supportive of the bill, which would remove federal barriers to the transport of wine from one province to another and allow Canadians to buy wine from wineries in other provinces to take home, or to have it shipped to their homes. When it was first proposed in the House more than two years ago by Kelowna-Lake Coun-

KELOWNA GENERAL HOSPITAL nurses held a rally outside the new Centennial Tower building on Wednesday to protest what they feel is a lack of adequate nursing staff in the new facility. nurse. The new buildings at KGH opened with much fanfare last weekend with a week-long move from several other areas of the hospital into the new tower and clinical support building culminating Sunday with the transfer of 59 patients. They moved from other parts of the hospital — mainly the old Pandosy building—to the Centennial Tower.
The Pandosy Building is slated to be demolished to make room for the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre, which will make KGH the fifth full cardiac care hospital in B.C. Munday said by rallying outside the hospital, launching an on-line petition campaign and calling on the government for more health care funding, nurses are not only standing up for their colleagues at KGH and other hospi-
tals across Interior Health, but also for patients and patient care. Munday said the province needs to recognize KGH is a regional facility that provides services to more than just the Central Okanagan, and it needs to be funded as such. “We are a tertiary hospital, meaning we treat patients from across the southern Interior,” said Munday, who has been a nurse at KGH for 27
years. She said despite the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been pumped into KGH in recent years for the construction of additional space and facilities, it is not uncommon to still see patients in beds in hallways at the hospital. “The lack of nurses is affecting safe patient care,” she said. KGH currently has about 700 nurses on staff, according to the union.

latory care departments and psychiatric care unit. It also includes two relocated patient care units. At the rally, Munday said while the aim of the hospital should be a ratio of four patients for every nurse, currently the ratio stands at seven or eight patients for every nurse. However, McDonald said when the hospital budgets its allocation of staff, it does so with the aim of four patients per

Nurses at Kelowna General Hospital say they need more staff to adequately provide “safe” patient care in the recently opened new medical facility. About 40 nurses rallied outside the new Centennial Tower at KGH on Wednesday afternoon to make their case, saying while they applaud the new addition to KGH, it requires more nurses. Speaking at the rally, B.C. Nurses’ Union regional chairwoman Laurie Munday called the lack of additional nurses a “huge oversight.” “You need the right number of nurses at the right time to look after patients,” she said. But Tracy McDonald, heath services administrator at KGH, disputed Munday’s claim that no extra staff were added as a result of the opening of the new six-storey tower and new clinical services building. McDonald said of the 18.7 new positions that have been added as a result of the expansion, 10 are nurses. “We are aware of the concerns of the BCNU,” said McDonald. “And we have increased staff with the addition of the Centennial Building.” The building holds several relocated KGH departments, including the emergency and ambu-

Kelglen Crescent fire not suspicious
Ice cream truck noise policy likely to be amended Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
After receiving more than 50 emails, listening to several phone calls and reading a handful of letters to the editor, it seems as though the District of West Kelowna will dial back the restrictions in its Mobile Vending Policy. Westside councillors adopted the district’s Mobile Vending Policy on May 22. The policy has a controversial stipulation that prevents mobile vending units from playing music or using a voice amplifying device.
Capital News first reported that ice cream trucks may be silenced May 23—since then there has been a large public outcry for West Kelowna to rethink its decision. Mayor Doug Findlater said he has heard the public’s criticism loud and clear. “There are a couple that agree with the position we had, but overwhelmingly people say ‘get a life’ on this,” said Findlater. “We were responding to complaints at the time. We obviously have a huge mass of people who are just fine with the roam-

According to Mayor Doug Findlater, the district will likely change the Mobile Vending Policy it passed May 22, which has a clause that prevents ice cream trucks from playing music or using a voice amplifying device. ing ice cream trucks with music—so we’ll respond to that.” Although the mayor wasn’t willing to confirm that there will be any changes at the next council meeting June 12, he said: “If I were an ice cream truck driver, I wouldn’t be
too concerned right now.” The likely amendments to the policy may not allow every type of amplifying device at any hour of the day, said Findlater, but ice cream trucks that play music will likely be permitted. The story of silent ice
cream trucks got time on the national stage, with coverage from publications such as the National Post and MacLean’s. Findlater said that he was surprised with how many showed interest in the decision. “There’s just some lit-
tle thing about it that captured people’s imagination—I understand that now. We didn’t give the whole issue at council enough time. Our council is usually pretty good about that, but in my mind, we slipped up.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

When the Kelowna Fire Department arrived at the scene, the fire was fully consuming the side deck of the house. The deck and the adjoining area of the house were extensively damaged before the fire was brought under control. The fire department reports the fire does not appear to be suspicious, however, it is still under investigation. The fire department also reiterated a public warning to remind all residents to make sure all smoking materials are completely extinguished before discarding them into household garbage containers.

Okanagan Pride celebration has mayor’s proclamation Alistair Waters STAFF REPORTER
The Okanagan Pride Committee says it is thrilled that Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray has proclaimed Aug. 12 to 19 Pride Week in Kelowna. “This proclamation will be met with great enthusiasm and support in the local queer community, signaling that Kelowna is an inclusive, diverse and welcoming city for everyone,” said Raymond Koehler, chairman of the Okanagan Pride Festival Committee. “We welcome the continued commitment of the City of Kelowna to embrace Okanagan Pride, testament to the municipality’s belief that everyone should enjoy the same rights, responsibilities and protections as all British Columbians and Canadians, as they contribute together to

But things change and so do people. As for his past action regarding pride proclamations, “this is now and that was then,” he said. Gray said he and Koehler worked together on the wording of the proclamation for the upcoming Pride Week event and both were very happy with the outcome. The mayor pointed another area where the city showed it is supportive of diversity in the community, the quick approval of the public display of a large
menorah in Waterfront Park to mark Hanukkah this year. This year, Okanagan Pride Week will take place under the theme of celebrating diversity. During the week, the pride movement’s rainbow flag will fly over City Hall. Events during the eightday festival in Kelowna will include a spiritual gathering, movie screening of cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show, a concert featuring singer and songwriter Amy Bishop, a golf tournament, beach volleyball, a community barbecue, a Pride dance and a champagne brunch. Organizers say several of the events are free to attend, everyone in the community is welcome and many of the events will be family friendly. Koehler said local businesses in the community have rallied around this year’s Oka-
nagan Pride festival, which is now in its sixth year. “We are extremely pleased with the level of engagement and support that Kelowna businesses and our media sponsors have shown to Okanagan Pride this year,” said Koehler. “The business and media community in Kelowna has rallied around Pride and brought a momentum and energy to the festival that is tangible. “As we promote Okanagan Pride to residents and visitors, this energy is sure to translate into growing attendance levels, a positive impact on the local economy by a sought-after demographic, and most-importantly, a highlight of the summer for many, many people.” awaters@kelownacapnews.com

TED Talks makes first visit to Kelowna Kelowna gets its first TEDx event, targeting entrepreneurs’ ability to affect social change.

STAFF REPORTER
Jan Vozenilek wants to give people a reason to think before picking up another disposable plastic product. The vehicle he has chosen to do so is a documentary about Midway Island, a small enclave of
environmental destruction in the Pacific Ocean where Albatross babies are dying from ingesting everyday household items like shampoo caps and toothbrushes. As it will be another year before the film is complete, for now, he’s pitching his message at TED Talks, the famous
Technology, Entertainment and Design events, coming to Kelowna for the first time next month. Running under the tagline, “Ideas worth spreading,” the TED Talks non-profit organization authorizes mini events like this TEDx evening at Habitat on Leon Avenue, leading up to a semi-annual TED conference of select talks given by leading thinkers from around the world.

Nearly three decades old, the talks now fill the Internet, are compiled into films and used to launch all manner of businesses and creative concepts on an international level. The local event was initiated by developer Andrew Gaucher and focuses on ways entrepreneurship in the Central Okanagan is proving a catalyst for social change. “With the turbulent times, people are looking for ideas,” said Gaucher, who works in green building and development attune with environmental issues. Pulling in the Okanagan Young Professionals and Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission, he hopes to make this an annual event highlighting local bright lights like Vozenilek on a global stage. Vozenilek’s partner, well-known environmentalist and photographer Chris Jordan, has already shared the Midway message at one of the larger TED conferences, but Vozenilek says his talk is different. As a regular guy who has worked in filmmaking for years, doing everything from commercials to music videos, he will talk about how much Midway changed his view of the world and
what he’s prepared to do to change it. Sorting through a cardboard box of plastic items anyone might have in their home, he said he tries very hard to turn away as many plastic products as possible since making the trip, never drinking bottled water, for example, and choosing products packaged in paper over plastic. In the “reduce, reuse, recycle” continuum, he believes the real key lies in the “reduce” component, noting the very things killing these birds can be found on the shore of any beachside community—like Kelowna—after flushing down streams. “It’s completely preventable,” he said. “The majority of this stuff is plastic junk that we really don’t need to use.” The trailer for the movie, due out in the fall of 2013, was just released. On Tuesday alone it garnered 85,000 hits and has a total near 2.5 million views. “You see this little tiny island come alive in the decomposing bodies of the albatross babies who live there,” said Vozenilek, explaining it’s the parents who are feeding the birds the plastic.

As fully grown adults, it’s possible for the birds to regurgitate the debris back up to feed the babies. The little ones, are not so lucky and so the plastic product accumulates in their stomachs until there is no room for left for food. Among the hours of footage he’s gathered thus far are haunting images of birds’ skeletal remains surrounding mounds of the plastic parts responsible for killing the original being.

Stroke Foundation and the B.C. Lung Association to ban smoking on restaurant patios, he and his council rejected the request, instead choosing to ask restaurants if they want the city to take another look at current municipal antismoking rules. “Council seems to be generally satisfied it has gone as far as it needs to,” Gray said, adding the city has gone further than provincial law requires in some cases. In recent years, the city has banned smoking in public parks and on beaches unless there is a designated smoking area set up, allowed smoking only in designated areas at Kelowna’s airport, and has made the distance from doorways where smoking is allowed farther than the provincial regulations. That is in addition to provincial rules that make it illegal to smoke in most public, indoor places. He noted that the city’s new rules to get tough on
smokers only came into effect eight months ago and the city has yet to study their impact. He said if the restaurants come back and feel the city should look at the issue of smoking on patios, it will do so. But he agreed, that is unlikely. He said many restauranteurs already feel there is too much regulation on their businesses as it is. But the mayor did not rule out council revisiting the idea of even more stringent smoking rules in future. He said he expected the issue will likely be looked at again in a year’s time. In addition to banning smoking on outdoor restaurant patios, the heart and stroke foundation and the lung association asked for smoking bans at bus shelters, within 7.5 metres of all doorways, windows and air intakes, as well as public patios and bus shelters and the removal of designated smoking areas in public parks.

NEWS ▼ CENSUS
Kelowna’s greying population not cause for panic, say experts Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna’s silver tsunami is building. Statistics Canada released figures Tuesday, placing the Central Okanagan’s population third oldest in the country, with 19.2 per cent being over the age of 65. It’s an increase of 11.7 per cent over the previous census period. Data showing that Kelowna is slowly but surely becoming a city of retirees, however, isn’t new. It was named the oldest Canadian census metropolitan area in 2006, and that launched local governments into action. With fears the aging population could grind the local economy to a halt, efforts were made to “soften” the impact, explained Corie Griffiths, business development officer for the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission. Initially, the commission worked to help local business retain a foothold in the economy, as a means to ensure further job growth. In recent years they’ve made concerted efforts to recruit entrepreneurs and young families to the valley, as a means to create demographic balance. “Why wouldn’t someone want to choose the greater Kelowna area?” she said, listing lifestyle benefits, health care and options for post-secondary education among some of the region’s highlights That said, countries across the world are in a race to lure that same demographic to their lagging eco-
nomic regions, pushing members of the commission to take their message across the globe to various trade shows. So far, they’ve brought numerous entrepreneurs to the area, spurring new economic growth. “One example that’s been in the media lately is GioBean,” said Griffiths. Griffiths met the popular Water Street coffee shop owner in England on a trip to promote B.C. in 2008, and gave him the tools to come to B.C. and plant roots. “The rest is history and a success story,” she said. Although much of the media focus is on problems after the census report on aging is released, Griffiths also pointed out that there are opportunities. Those include chances for research and development into senior care as well as more opportunities for health care providers. The good news story of an aging population is something that gained the attention of Mary Ann Murphy, UBC Okanagan associate professor, cross appointment on aging. “We need to think about how we pay for certain costs (associated with an aging society) but this is a demographic achievement,” she said. “We are privileged to live 15 years longer than the global life expectancy.” The shift in population is due in part to a slowing birth rate and extended life expectancy, Murphy explained, noting that life expectancy in B.C. is 81, and in the Okanagan it’s 82.
“This longevity is unprecedented. We have doubled the seniors we had in 1981,” she said. And, she said, surveys say the senior years are the good ones. “Canadian data shows you’re happiest over 70,” she said. “This generation contributes, are creative and they learn. They’re interested in far more than lawn bowling. Also 75 to 90 per cent of Canadian seniors vote.” That active population needs to be addressed differently than they are currently, she said. “What can we do at community level to have our senior adults help older Canadians?” she said. “Right now we have the children of the ’60s heading into retirement and they’re used to getting what they want. They’re independent, reject the notion to winding down and I look to them to solve some of the issues of an aging population. “The more interesting story here is what will they contribute.” The answer to Murphy’s question shouldn’t be too far in the offing. The statistic agency reported Tuesday that within two decades, it’s expected that 22.8 per cent of Canadians will be 65 and older. Last year, as the first wave of baby boomers reached that milestone, making the total number of seniors five million, out of the 33.5 million total population. On the oldest end of the scale, 5,825 Canadians reached their 100th birthday and the number is projected to steadily rise to 78,300 in the next 50 years.

he ice cream truck debate in West Kelowna this past week may have left some people shaking their heads in disbelief, but they shouldn’t. It was actually a prime example of how the relationship between government and the people they represent is supposed to function, and the role the media can play to assist that process. At last week’s West Kelowna council meeting, the district’s proposed Mobile Vending

Brydon Winsby and Gord Milsom registered surprise the bylaw needed to be that repressive; it was adopted pending final approval by council. Why? Because some people had complained about the noise ice cream trucks make, and about safety issues concern-

ing kids running in and out of traffic in their excitement to meet the ice cream truck. After we published the story last Thursday, it went viral on the Internet, and was picked up by eastern Canada daily newspapers. The media attention locally also engaged West Kelowna residents to voice their dismay with the ruling, which appeared to far outweigh however many people had objected to the ice cream truck music in the first place. So when council
reconvenes at their next meeting on June 12, it appears a majority of council will see the need to curb the noise restriction aspect of the bylaw prior to giving it final approval. The council, we think, received the message loud and clear—while some people don’t like to hear the ice cream truck noise, it’s not the feeling of the majority. Act, listen, make adjustments and move on—we wish all levels of government would follow that guideline.

Pilot project helps non profits understand how business works
T
he pressure that non profit groups are facing in delivering services is being felt by the rest of us. For every multimillion donation such as the one received last week by the B.C. Cancer Foundation, there are hundreds of applications for help that fall on perhaps sympathetic but still deaf ears. Every need has its place, every need can help someone, but not every need championed by a non profit entity is guaranteed fiscal security. Government funding cutbacks in
recent years has forced the non profit sector to seek alternative funding sources from both the business community and charitable donors. My mom tells me Barry that she is endlessly Gerding frustrated by the inundation of requests for money from non profit groups. At one point, she started to make a list of all the groups that hit on her and my dad for money, and she stopped the list at about 10, having proven a point to herself. Other than helping her kids—the most important non profit entities in
EDITOR’S NOTE
her universe—she gives money to B.C. Children’s Hospital because the staff there saved the life of my daughter/her first grandchild after her premature birth, and the ALS Society because my cousin had that disease take her life way too soon. Otherwise, she wished she wasn’t subjected to the constant pressure to give money to charitable causes. On the flip side, local businesses have long ago realized the brand potential for supporting non profits. Once the challenge of determining which worthy charitable entity best meets their business or corporate demographic branding, they step up to the plate. In either case, that doesn’t make
it easier for non profits to find new funding providers now that Ottawa and Victoria aren’t listening anymore. These groups have to do their homework and make well thought out pitches for fiscal support, a task that often falls on volunteers or an overstretched single employee to assemble. So more often than not, that process ends in disappointment rather than elation. It is under that kind of challenge that Kelowna Community Resources enlisted a pilot project this spring, involving the participation of nine businesses and nine non profits to learn from each other about their respective needs, and how to communicate that effectively to one another.
Last week, representatives from the nine non profit participants took part in an exercise—to make a threeminute funding presentation on behalf of their organizations. Corporate social responsibility is an often-heard buzz phrase these days, one that means there is money for non profits to seek out. It is hoped this pilot project, which will wrap up in September, will arrive at some conclusions about the process that will help both non profits and business owners. Because secure funding for non profits will continually be a challenge moving forward. Barry Gerding is the managing editor of the Capital News. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Ice cream truck music decision ‘sad, sad day’ Outcry about ice cream truck music makes West Kelowna mayor ponder reversing decision. See story page A3. To the editor: What a sad, sad day in West Kelowna to read that someone finds the music for the ice cream truck annoying. That is truly the sound of summer. (Ice Cream Trucks Must Keep Quiet, May 25 West, Capital News.) Kathy Erickson, owner of Scooter’s Ice Cream, is depending on her sales of ice cream to make a living. She is doing it safely, driving about eight km/h, barely moving, with signage on the back reading “Watch for Children.” My issue would be to focus on these crotchrockets that can be heard miles away, coming and then going. I have had to
go into the house if I was talking on the phone, as the motorbike drowned out my caller. I have had to close my windows as the motorbikes drowned out my TV show. There are many vehicles that should not even be on the road as they drive without mufflers, which can be heard miles and miles away, coming and then going. My windows have vibrated in my home from music booming from a vehicle a half a block away. And people complain about some music from an ice cream truck. Findlater “hated the sound of an ice cream truck” because in meant
that his children were suddenly bugging him for money and to do something he didn’t want to do, and he resented it. He resented an ice cream truck that meant something special to each and every child out there. My father would embrace the reason behind that thing coming down the street and yell out to us to come get some money for the ice cream truck. Then we would all sit around dad as it melted all over us and him. It is a memory to be cherished. Anyway, it should not be what Findlater wants, it is what the majority of the public wants. I would even start up a petition to keep
To the editor: I’m even more proud (now) of our municipality and its people than I was before the (incorporation) referendum. We have survived the growing pains and have been presented as a unique, solid municipality with good leadership and sound policies. This morning I heard about a noise bylaw passed by our municipality that is being ridiculed nationwide. It’s not specifically about ice cream trucks and their little childhood memory-inspiring tunes, but that’s where the focus has been. My media experience gives me an understanding of how these things get a life of their own. It’s not this bylaw alone that has me disappointed. It is about priorities, or perhaps the per-
ception of priorities. Our municipality gets awkward attention and has to spend time and resources dealing with the fallout from the ice cream man bylaw, while so many other important things seem shuffled to the cutting room floor. As a taxpayer, I’d rather hear and read every week about the efforts our mayor and administration are making to get a muchneeded acute care health facility opened in West Kelowna. This has been in the dreaded ‘discussion’ stage for many years, and it’s clear MLA Ben Stewart and Interior Health are not interested in taking the lead or moving this project along. Or perhaps more focus on attracting business and its tax base would be better than chasing the ice cream man or spending
money, time and effort on the Kraft Hockeyville campaign. The Westbank First Nations is killing us in that regard, and I have to hand it to them for their acumen. Or how about marketing the beautiful Royal LePage Place so it brings in more revenue and doesn’t sit dark so many days? For better and for worse, our mayor has a long history as a bureaucrat. Clearly, he believes in the slow, backroom, behind the scenes approach to getting things done. Just as clearly, it has not worked on many fronts. It’s time for the mayor and West Kelowna CEO Jason Johnson to get front and centre and loud and public on the issues that matter, and leave the ice cream man alone. John Harding, West Kelowna
Scooter’s Ice Cream truck merrily strolling down my street. It is soft music, for crying out loud, it is not like it is a boom box blaring at high decibels. Tell these old fogies to
remove their hearing aids when they hear the truck coming. I have to run now, I think I hear an ice cream truck. Bon Barr, Westbank

What kind of a city would eliminate a childhood memory for any generation? One has to wonder how removed from one’s youth a city council has to become to start calling the ice cream call of youth to be noise pollution. I don’t envy the driver who has to listen to the super sweet trill over the course of his entire shift, but the few minutes of the day when I hear his bells tolling always bring back a memory from a youth that will only be visited—never returned. Shame on the community that would condemn its youth to a silent city. I scream for ice cream—let the music play, the birds sing and the bells ring. It will be quiet enough in the grave. To life and the liberty of an ice cream truck’s ditty. Rand Zacharias I suppose now the ice cream man can just play his loud boom box to gather the children—how insane. Whoever voted to ban the music, should be ashamed! Cheryl Kothlow

You’ve got to be kidding me. Ryan Oevermann Sad indeed. Tarrah Clements There is something wrong with this guy (West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater). He also took the space that was for our children to go for Sparks, Brownies, Boy Scouts, dances—even to see Santa. Konlynn Pachon Once again, the mayor of Westbank is playing God—what he says goes.

residents can see from their building. I presume that some of these residents will be needing our services and the hand up we can provide for them to overcome the challenges that put them at risk of homelessness. Yet, we have had no communication regarding the facility and no contact from the city or from the John Howard Society regarding what we may expect when they arrive on our doorstep. Perhaps this is because the city is afraid that we may object to these initiatives or we may want to have a say in what is hap-
pening in our neighborhood. Social services in this city operate with a silo mentality. Good work is being done in the silo but better good could be done if the city took the initiative to bring all the people together who will be effected by these projects including property owners, business operators and health care facilities. Perhaps if they did they might find the willing partners who would provide the jobs or the health care that these residents need for the hand up that will get them back on their feet and no longer dependent
on social housing. God forbid that the city may need to apologize for its lack of behaviour in consulting with the property owners or busi-
ness operators that will be affected by and could perhaps add value to these worthy social initiatives. Mike McLoughlin, Kelowna

Delta Grand unveils plans for $12-million hotel upgrade builders. “We had rooms literally down to the drywall.” It was a time for a razing. Twenty years since The Grand’s grand opening, the hotel’s rooms and suites had faded into a dusty rose homage to the ’90s—not quite the lush standard set when the doors first opened. With the understanding that Kelowna “evolved into a culinary mecca” in the intervening years, Bibby said the tower underwent a full concept change. It now reflects both the region and the type of travellers that are drawn to
The art on the walls is simple, but also pulls from local landscapes. In the Okanagan merlot suite, for example, the wall art is a three-part photo of dew on a cluster of wine grapes. While it’s hard not to get stuck on the style improvements, another noteworthy change is how rooms now reflect the needs of a more tech savvy traveller. Each one is fit with a SmartDesk, which is a fully wired, multi-purpose area that provides guests with a clutter free space. Visitors can hook up everything from DVD players to laptops at the desk, and each bedroom is stocked with an iPod dock, while a strong current of Wi-Fi runs through the whole building—ensuring no guest is left unconnected. For those more pampering oriented, the Delta has also ramped up the quality of its toiletries, getting exclusive rights to Philosophy products.

NEWS ▼ RECYCLING NDP parliamentary Keeping old phone books out of landfill a priority error may sideline wine sale amendment Policy from A1 try Conservative MP Ron Cannan, he said it would get rid of ‘archaic’ legislation that strangled B.C. wineries. The NDP have made an offer to correct the mistake and get the bill back on the table by switching the order in which some bills reach the House of Commons in June, explained Atamanenko, so it should be passed before the summer recess at the end of the month. Meantime, Cannan says it was very frustrating Tuesday to not see the bill adopted as was expected. “This hurts no one but the industry and consumers,” he said. “I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I hope common sense will prevail.” And, in Victoria, Kelowna-Westside Liberal MLA Ben Stewart took the opportunity to demand that provincial NDP leader Adrian Dix stand up for B.C. and stop delaying Bill C-311. “After all my years of being a farmer, growing grapes and making wine, it’s frustrating so see what you think is a very simple change, not happen,” he commented. Small producers, such as Quails’ Gate Estate Winery once was, don’t have a high enough production to sell through the government liquor system, so selling their wines privately this way makes a lot of sense. “If they can ship a few bottles across the country, to be enjoyed as a treasure by a consumer there, why not?” Stewart said. “Unfortunately it (the bill) was delayed by partisan politics.” Stewart added that Dix should make it clear this is a blunder that only hurts small Western farmers. Dix took exception to Stewart’s comments, saying the NDP is in favour of the bill and he was confident the issue would be worked out and the bill
passed, perhaps as soon as next week. Then the key question is for each province to develop personal exemption limits to go along with the new legislation. “I would hope that at the Western Premier’s Conference B.C. will make the case to get all provinces in agreement,” he added. Last week Premier Christy Clark re-affirmed her support for the bill. For details see freemygrapes.ca.
With new Telus directories being delivered to local residents and businesses over the next few weeks, the Regional Waste Reduction Office reminds local residents to recycle their old phone book. Regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart said: “Together, these phone books weigh over 166,000 kg. If all of them were tossed into the landfill they’d take up the equivalent space of 60 large dump trucks. “By recycling instead of tossing out your old phone book, you’re shar-
ing in the solution—diverting waste from our limited landfill space and turning it into a valuable resource.” Stewart explained that old books are mixed together with other household paper products at Cascades Recovery, the
local recycling facility on Cambro Road. At the Cambro plant, the paper is compacted and shipped to numerous recycling mills that make products like roofing felt, paper egg cartons, and more newspaper. Simply put your old
phone books in your blue cart for recycling and place your cart at the curb on your regular recycling collection day, said Stewart. Phone books can also be taken to the nearest recycling depot: •Kirschner Road Re-
cycling Depot • Recycling Depot at the Glenmore Landfill • Westside Residential Waste Disposal and Recycling Center (off Asquith Road) To learn more, call 250-469-6250 or visit regionaldistrict.com.

On June 2, 12 instructors from Wentworth at the Kelowna and Vernon business locations will be recognized for new qualifications never before offered in Canada. Previously, the only way students could get certification or grades was through classical exam boards. But no longer. A new program called “Rockschool to Canada” allows students to study rock, funk, fusion, Latin and heavy metal music in a structured way and receive the same qualifications as classical music students. It just took someone to put all the information together so it can be related the same way as the traditional methods. The Rockschool exam board has been in operation internationally for 20 years conducting studies and exams in drums, electric guitar and bass, synthesizer as well as piano and voice.

SPORTS ▼ STANLEY CUP
Dillabaugh watched Kings’ goalie ‘evolve’ into Cup contender Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
For pretty much every step of the way, Kim Dillabaugh has witnessed— and been part of—Jonathan Quick’s evolution into one of hockey’s top young netminders. Now, the Kelowna Rockets’ assistant coach has the ultimate satisfaction of watching Quick and his Los Angeles Kings play for the Stanley Cup. Dillabaugh, who oversees goaltender development for the NHL team, began working with Quick in 2006 when he was playing for the University of Massachusetts. The two continued their association as Quick made stops in the East Coast Hockey League in Redding, then with Manchester of the American Hockey League. In addition, Dillabaugh works each summer with Quick and other goaltenders in the system leading up to the start of the NHL team’s training
camp. Now completing his fourth full season with the Kings, the Milford, Connecticut native has established himself as one of game’s best stoppers. During the regular season, Quick posted a miniscule 1.95 goals against average and posted a league-high 10 shutouts—not to mention leading the Kings to the Stanley Cup final for the first time in 19 years. “It’s been nice to see him evolve over the years, coming out of university, working his way up through the minors and becoming a No. 1 goaltender in the NHL,” Dillabaugh said of Quick, who was drafted by the Kings in 2005. “He played 44 games in his first full year (2008-09) and hasn’t really looked back. “He has a lot of real good natural ability and tremendous athleticism,” Dillabaugh continued. “He’s constantly working at his game and has gotten progressively better.” While he is hesitant
to take much credit for Quick’s ascension to the top of the game, there is a definite sense of satisfaction when Dillabaugh

Sutter requires a goaltending coach to be on hand on a full-time basis,
so when Bill Ranford— the Kings’ main goaltending coach—isn’t available, then Dillabaugh is called in to fill the role. Since December, Dillabaugh has spent about 10 to 12 days a month in L.A. working with Quick
and Kings’ backup Jonathan Bernier. Dillabaugh was most recently in Los Angeles May 3 to 21 working with some of club’s minor league prospects—known as the Black Aces—and the Kings’ first choice in
the 2011 draft, Chicoutimi goaltender Christopher Gibson. During his stay, the 34-year-old Duncan native saw two games of the St. Louis series, then watched the Kings eliminate the Phoenix Coyotes. On Monday, Dillabaugh will head back to L.A. for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final. “It’s exciting for the people in the organization who have worked so hard to make this happen,” said Dillabaugh. “Since the new regime with Dean Lombardi (GM) and Ron Hextall (assistant GM) took over, there’s been some really positive things happening and it’s good to see them having success. They’re a good group of people to be around.” Dillabaugh has worked with the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets as an assistant and goaltending coach since 2003, and with the Kings as their overseer of goaltender development since the 2006-07 season. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

OKM Huskies win bronze in OSC provincial tennis championship beats pack The continuous improvement in the Okanagan Mission Secondary School tennis program over the last three seasons was evident at the 2012 B.C. high school championships. In their third straight appearance at provincials, the Huskies had their best finish yet with a bronze medal effort. The Huskies faced Southridge from Surrey in the 3rd/4th place final and prevailed 8-4.
OKM advanced to the championship round after winning their pool by defeating Shawnigan Lake from Vancouver Island 7-4 and Mulgrave from West Vancouver 10-1 on Thursday. On Friday, OKM beat Mennonite Educational Institute from Abbotsford 7-4. In the semifinals, OKM then faced B.C.’s No. 1 team, Collingwood from North Van. The Huskies start-
ed quickly winning both boys’ doubles matches, but couldn’t hold off Collingwood who won a number of close matches to advance to the championship. Huskies’ coach Mark Sadlowski was proud of his team’s effort. “Our kids played great and have been on a climb for the past three years, making the provincials for the past three in a row,” said Sadlowski. “We have been valley champs for
the last two years. “I’d also like to thank the Mission Tennis Club,” he added, “namely Gordie Charles and Coach Holger for their support and use of the facility.” The OKM Huskies tennis team is: Rachell Birrel, Esther Guak, Katelyn Kim, Carina Hartig, Quinn Sadlowski, Lily Kreutzer, Johnny Fraser, Charly Jastram, Sebastian Koning, Sawyer Fonda, Michael Bitcon and Ryan Hucul.

In addition to fast races by the whole team, there were also several Ogopogos who earned overall high point awards On the girls’ side, Emalie Schueler (Div 4) and Julia Nickerson (O1) led the team, winning gold for their divisions.

yard when I was younger so I was out there all the time playing soccer. Q: Where do you hope to take your soccer career? Have you thought about playing professionally? A: I thought about it but, realistically, I don’t think it’s going to happen, so I’m just trying to save some money by playing university soccer and then go on—maybe try coaching afterwards. Q: Does that mean you pay extra close attention to how Dante (Zanatta, Okanagan Challenge head coach) goes about coaching? A: He has a certain kind of coaching style, it does take getting used to, but I think if I was to ever coach it’d be a little different than the way Dante does it. Q: What are the particular challenges of being a central midfielder? A: A lot of quick thinking, a lot of running, that’s for sure. Just being able

What do you find the main difference is in the PCSL (compared to university soccer)? A: Yeah, it’s pretty similar to university soccer—the level of play is pretty similar, it’s a little tougher though. You’re playing against 19 to 22 year-olds in university and now you’re playing fullgrown men, so the size and the speed is the biggest difference. Q: How did you get into soccer?

OKM won 14-5 to advance to a provincial quarterfinal game against No. 3 Rockridge on Wednesday afternoon in Abbotsford. A final score wasn’t available by the Capital News deadline.
The Kelowna Jays kicked off their 2012 schedule last weekend with a couple of road series that saw them win twice and lose three games. The newly named West Coast Authentic Jays won two out of three games in Trail before dropping a pair of games on Sunday in Kamloops. Mike Monster opened the Jays season with a dominating performance on the mound on Friday night in Trail. Monster allowed just two hits in a complete game, 9-0 win over Trail on Friday, striking out 13 batters en route to the win. Jared Johnson was 3-for-3 at the plate and drove in three runs while Raymond Guiton, Jordan Varga, Jordan Devencenzi, Tyler Enns and Thom-

son made the score 2-1. But Trail would close the door and earn the win. Colton Lindsay pitched a great game for the Jays allowing just two runs on three hits while striking out five. On Sunday, the Jays traveled to Kamloops to meet the Sun Devils but lost both ends of the double-header, losing 7-6 and 10-7. In the first game, Jays starting pitcher Todd Leavitt gave up five runs in the first two innings before settling in while the Jays also had plenty of
base runners early. Kamloops snapped a 6-6 tie with a run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Down 10-2 in the final inning of the nightcap, Kelowna staged a comeback that featured five runs but ultimately fell short in the 10-7 loss. Enns and Johnson each had three hits while Marcus Drewry pitched into the eighth inning before Kamloops put up five runs against the Jays bullpen to pull away.

Warriors deal local product to Valley rival
Travis Blanleil is on his way to the defending national junior A hockey champs. The Westside Warriors this week traded the rights of the 18-year-old forward to the Penticton Vees for future considerations. Blanleil just completed his second season with the Warriors registering 15 goals and 32 points in 57 games. The Kelowna native is a veteran forward with two years experience
player on and off the ice for two years with us,” says Warriors Head Coach/GM Rylan Ferster. “We wish him nothing but success in all his future endeavours.” In 113 career games, Blanleil tallied 24 goals and 57 points, and 92 penalty-minutes. Travis Blanleil

Brandon West will be working next season for the opposition.
An assistant with the BCHL’s Westside War-
riors last season, West has been hired on as head coach Troy Mick’s first assistant with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks for 2012-13. A former bench boss with the BCMML’s Okanagan Rockets, West is thrilled to take another step forward in his coaching career. “I could not be more excited than I am today to be joining a first class organization in the Silver-
backs and to be part of a great community like Salmon Arm. I’m looking forward to a great year,” says West. “I’d like to thank Westside for helping me start my career in the BCHL.” Most recently, West was selected by the Team Pacific management group to work as an assistant coach at the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. The event will take place during the up-
coming Christmas break in Victoriaville and Drummondville, Que. “We are extremely happy for Brandon and the opportunity that he has been given with Salmon Arm,” said Warriors head coach and GM Rylan Ferster. “He is an outstanding young coach with a bright future. This is a business where people move on not only as players, but as coaches.”
▼ CO RUGBY ENTHUSIASTS
Best girl rugby stars named
The Central Okanagan Rugby Enthusiasts (CORE) has unveiled its top 20 senior girls rugby players for 2012. Recognized as the 20 best local high school female rugby players are: (in alphabetical order), Carmel Bruneau (KSS), Maddy Haynes (KSS), Chelsea Horvath (MB), Hope Latham (KSS), Sam Leinemann (KSS), Chelsea Marshall (KSS), Delaney McLean (MB), Terrina Mock (MB), Abby Nyberg (KSS), Jamie Park (MB), Lyric Peterson (MB), Jasmine Ross (MB), Dana Ruether (MB), Julia Scott (KSS), Jasmine Sears (KSS), Madison Shultz (MB), Ashley Smith (MB), Taylor Whiteside (KSS), Melanie Willemse (KSS), Chloe Worrall (MB) All 20 players are invited to compete in the High School Girls All-Star Game at 4 p.m. on June 7 at the Parkinson Rec Centre. Selectors from the Okanagan Provincial Regional Championship team and the elite rugby sevens program will be there looking for athletes for those programs.
Two high schools offer senior girls rugby in the Central Okanagan— Kelowna Secondary and Mount Boucherie. A total of 60 girls play on those teams. Local rugby leaders believe there is room for a lot of growth in this sport. “Rugby sevens will become an Olympic sport in 2016,” said Barry Ebl, CORE Director responsible for Rugby Excellence. “If the Olympic competition was held today, the Canadian Women’s team would be a serious contender for the gold medal. We believe more local schools will take up sevens or 15’s rugby for girls, as the Olympic program ramps up for 2016.” The Canadian Women’s Sevens team most recently won the Amsterdam Sevens tournament on May 17, defeating England, the U.S. and the home-team Netherlands squad to take home the championships. CORE will soon announce the top 40 junior boys rugby players and top 40 senior boys players.

Study compares benefits of long and short workouts I
t was previously thought that in order to lose weight, people need to spend hours and hours a week doing aerobic exercise. Recent research has disproved this. Dr. Morrow DiPasquale, an exercise physiologist, recently completed a study that was aimed at accelerating weight loss using your own body’s physiology. The previously conceived notion was that in

Markus Thiel order to burn fat, or mobilize free fatty acids, we need to spend longer durations on the treadmill, step machine, elliptical or running outdoors.
It was believed that the longer we made this physiological demands on our body, the quicker the weight loss would happen. For example, on average a person would spend 30 to 60 minutes on the treadmill three to five times a week. Dr. DiPasquale’s paper showed that high intensity training lasting only 12 minutes, had far better effects on the burn-

cent for a duration of eight hours post exercise. This was the protocol he used in his study. The duration of exercise lasted no longer than 12 minutes. For the purpose of this study he implemented the use of a treadmill. The 12 minute interval exercise routine was broken into 12 separate minutes. The first minute, the participant ran at what they perceived 50% exertion. The second minute was at 60% perceived exertion. The third minute return to 50% followed by the fourth minute at 70%. Once again, at the fifth minute the participant reduce the research and to perceive 50%, followed by 80% for the six minute. The seventh minute was at 50%, the eighth minute at 90%. For the remainder of the 12 minute interval, participants oscillat-
ed from 50 to 90% until the 12 minutes was completed. One word of caution was mentioned within the confines of the study. He mentioned individuals that are sedentary are not appropriate for high intensity interval training as it would be too taxing on their system and can pose a potential health hazard. Any individual wanting to undertake a high intensity interval training regime should consult with your health practitioner first prior to beginning. I have done this form of training in the past and I have had excellent results with it. It seemed as though I have much more energy the course of the day and my belt stopped yelling at me.

ENTERTAINMENT Kelowna Art Gallery gets set with summer camps Art camps at the Kelowna Art Gallery get underway in July with programs like Tribal Voices and Wild, Wild, West giving kids a chance to ponder another existence without ever leaving home. Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
If summer memories conjure images of woodsy art projects and marshmallows by the fire, the Kelowna Art Gallery just might have an option to make life easier. Every summer, the gallery holds its art programs for kids, Art Adventures, with options from printmaking to recreating the masters’ works to keep kids enthralled with summer’s creative possibility without the adults having to drag out a tent. “We try to put together quality classes that use quality materials and supplies,” said Renée Burgess, head of public programming for the gallery. “We work with original works of art and we always take the kids into the gallery and work with the ideas that are in the gallery space that
summer.” This year’s main exhibit, Bearing Witness, is here on display from the Vancouver Art Gallery and looks at social justice issues. The images will make good fodder for the older students’ camps, like ART-Rageous, a day camp targeting nine to 12-year-olds interested in producing pieces they’ll hang onto for years to come. Among the more popular hits are sessions on cartooning, conducted by Centre for Arts and Technology teacher Niina Teto, and a camp to design a skateboard deck and learn to ride. The gallery brings in guest artists and focuses on taking the kids out for mini adventures, taking trips out to pieces of public art and local cultural facilities like the Rotary Centre for the Arts. The camps are small, at roughly a dozen students in each one, and there are four assistants working for the gallery this year to ensure each student gets lots of one-on-one instruction. Whether drawing on the sidewalk or creating great scenes of sand with a stick on the beach, art and summer belong together, so at the end of the day, the main goal is always to have fun. Camps run July and August and range in price from $70 to $165, with different pricing for members and non-members. Camps are de-

The duration ranges from one day to one week and campers are welcome to sign up for multiple weeks.

Discarded notes turn up in art project O utgoing passengers at the Kelowna International Airport this season will be treated to a new temporary installation of art by Kelownabased printmaker Briar Craig. The large works are colourful, blown-up images of collaged discarded sticky notes and folded bits of paper with people’s handwritten lists and reminders on them. Craig is something of an aficionado of the detritus of life—the wake of trash that we leave behind us—that could give others clues about our activities, thoughts and feelings.
ON VIEW
Liz Wylie Craig has been using text, especially found text, in his work for a number of years, and is both fond of and fascinated by the bits of information he gathers. He likes the way narratives are suggested in these bits, but are never spelled out, and he likes the way we want to try to invent stories from the
scribbled phrases and random words. Visitors to the airport will immediately recognize the blown-up lists and other notes in Craig’s work for what they are. Departing passengers may have themselves created a “to-do” list before coming to fly out of town: “Pack shoes, bring passport, call home”—that sort of thing. And so they may smile in recognition of sharing this same coping mechanism with the anonymous writers of Craig’s memos; when we really need to make sure we do not forget someCONTRIBUTED

Men in Black have gone all grey and dull MEN IN BLACK 3 (3D)
BEHIND THE SCREEN
T
he theatre sure wasn’t packed for the 8 p.m. show on Saturday and it became quite clear, as the film unfolded, that the folks who weren’t there were the smart ones. I’ve been a big fan of the MIB franchise so I was happy to be seeing this new one, however; it wasn’t long into the show before I realized that this
Susan Steen wasn’t very funny and it was fairly one-dimensional even for a film about time travel and aliens. With the 1969 ar-
rest and incarceration of Boris, The Animal (an ugly and equally evil alien), in a specially built lunar prison, all seems quiet. However, his prison break sets in motion a chain of events which will change the lives of the Men in Black, notably Agent K and Agent J. Agent J (Will Smith) travels back in time to save Agent K and changes history while finding answers to his own past.
Will Smith as Agent J looks older than his 44 years and less in shape than we are used to seeing him. Tommy Lee Jones, now 64, is Agent K and has been in all the Men in Black movies and many others, including No Country For Old Men. Josh Brolin plays Agent K as a young man, and he too was in No Country for Old Men and did a stellar job as George Bush in W. New to the series were
Emma Thompson as Agent Q, the head of the team, Michael Stuhbarge as the alien, Griffin and who I thought was excellent and Jemaine Clement who wins the best make up award as Boris the Animal. This role as the uber- evil Boris is a big departure for Clement. This show just did not have the flow, the comedy (although the bowling scene was funny) or the deft repartee that the for-
mer Men In Black shows had and though it was blessedly short, it is not a must see. Men In Black may do well in the long haul, but it cost $230 million to make and grossed $55 million on its first weekend—somewhat weak as movies go. Not a lot of great lines, but my own personal favourite was: “I was an agent for three years before I realized that all
models were aliens.” You have to like that one. Better summer movies are bound to impress us more, so save your money on this one and hope that better shows are on their way. I give this two reels is that’s all it deserves. Susan Steen is a local movie buff. susansteen1234@shaw.ca

Passionate learners wanted as study group leaders T
he home of lifelong learning— that best describes SLR, Society for Learning in Retirement. The group’s purpose is to meet the educational needs of older learners. To that end they offer a wide range of interesting daytime courses, field trips and lectures. Volunteer study group leaders are particularly sought as the life-blood of the organization. It’s
a fun place to be, learn, share interests and make friends. This unique organization was created and exists today after 18 years of success because of the volunteer efforts of everyone involved, from study
group leaders to the volunteer board of directors to those who give of their time in the numerous ways needed to maintain the organization they love. A total of 15 dedicated folks serve on the board of directors. Anywhere
from 35 to 45 people offer courses as study group leaders in each of three terms. The distinction between a study group leader and a teacher is important. Teachers are looked upon as the experts in the class room. A study group leader facilitates peer learning. In the peer learning model everyone is a teacher and all learn from one another. A study group leader
need not be an expert, just interested in exploring a subject. That’s the beauty of peer learning. Learning is explored together. Members are encouraged to research their area of interest in the subject and give a short presentation but presentations are entirely voluntary. Please contact program director Ilse Erwig at ilse1@telus.net for study group leader information.

Don’t cry for MIB: It will make many buckets of money
W
hen is a $55-million opening weekend not considered a success? When it is the heavily hyped Men in Black 3 starring Will Smith. There is already speculation that Fresh Prince’s three-year hiatus from movies may have knocked some of the fresh off his acting career. However, the opening is on par with Men in Black 2 and will likely end up making north of $200 million, plus, when you start adding the $130 million it has already grossed internationally it will potentially be very profitable. And Smith’s career is far from over as next year he will star with son Jaden in M. Night Shyamalan’s After Earth and sequels to Hancock, Bad Boys and I, Robot every year after that. The big question this coming weekend is whether Kristen Stewart will draw enough Twilight fans out to see another variation of the Snow White tale? In Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart plays the young princess with lips red as blood and hair black as night. Charlize Theron plays her wicked stepmother, the ruthless Queen Ravenna who has conquered several European kingdoms and has her sights on England but sees that Snow is destined not only to surpass her as the fairest of them all but also as the ruler of her kingdom. The Queen learns from her magic mirror that the only way to remain on
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis the throne is to consume Snow White’s heart and achieve immortality. When Snow escapes into the forest, the Queen Ravenna sends Eric the Huntsman (Chris “Thor” Hemsworth) to kill her, however; he takes pity on the princess and teaches her the art of war. Now, with the aid of eight dwarves and her childhood love Prince William, she begins a revolution to kill her wicked witch of a stepmother once and for all. After the success of TV’s Once Upon a Time and the moderate success of the more comedic Mirror Mirror, it will be interesting to see if audiences will come out for this darker vision of the classic Grimm fairy tale. Opening at the Paramount Theatre is Edwin Boyd: Citizen Gangster, the true story of the Second World War veteran who became Canada’s most notorious bank robber. Dismayed by public indifference towards veterans and humiliated by his inability to provide for his wife and children, Boyd turned to robbing banks and eventually became Toronto’s enemy number one.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ KELOWNA ART GALLERY
Juxtaposing lost and discarded scraps an artistic tradition Wylie from B1 thing, we know we ought to write it down. One may well wonder how we coped before Post-ItNotes were invented. But how, viewers might wonder, are these discarded notes lifted from trash containers or the gutter or floors of buildings, to be considered works of art? Well, in fact, scraps of paper and bits of trash have been acceptable artists’ materials for about 100 years. It was the German Dada artist Kurt Schwitters, who first glued discarded tram tickets and other bits of
thrown-out paper into his collages, starting in the 1910s. The notion quickly caught on and Dada collage was born, which morphed into works created by the Surrealist artists of the 1920s and 30s. Later on, the notable late American artist Robert Rauschenberg loved the wild energy produced by juxtaposing varying images and objects, and he also delighted in discarded materials. Artists of the post-modern period have explored the bringing together of high and low cultures, and the frissons of meaning this could engender. So Craig
is in good company in the specifics of his endeavour, as he stands at a slight remove in relation to his work, something like the 19th-century flaneur, almost more of an observer than a participant. Craig is all for viewer
participation in his work, and he knows nothing more about the people behind these recycled elements in his works of art than we do, so we are on a level playing field in our attempts at interpretation. His role has been to find

the items, arrange them for visual interest (shape, colour, transparency, range of line qualities, etc.), and we are then free to enter the equation and enjoy Craig’s efforts and try to make meaning from the fragments.
Overall his works have a wonderful sense of design placement and abstract beauty. And they are not without his own injection of meaning, as his very salvaging and conscious collaging does impart something to his work. Some viewers may find themselves smiling, even chuckling, and there truly is an element of humor to Craig’s work, not in a mocking sense, more from the standpoint of sheer wonder. The artist’s works of this nature are like the opposite of time capsules: caches planned and preserved carefully in order
to tell people in the future about our concerns, our priorities, our current situation. Craig’s random little worn and folded scraps were chucked out by the people who created them, and it is we, coming along later, who are imagining they might now have some significance. Briar Craig’s installation continues at the Kelowna International Airport until Oct. 22.

▼ PICKLEBALL
Four new courts open for sport growing in popularity Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna snowbirds will now be able to play a popular southern United States sport yearround. Members of the Central Okanagan Pickleball Association were on hand Tuesday as Mayor Doug Findlater cut the ribbon to officially open four brand new pickleball courts outside Lakeview Heights Community Hall. Pickleball is a racquet sport that is similar to tennis, but played on a court with smaller dimensions and with a slower-moving wiffle ball and a hard paddle. Jim Saunders is in the process of forming an official pickleball club on the Westside. He said that in the past, pickleball players had attempted to play their sport on tennis or badminton courts— something that wasn’t always welcomed by players of the other sports. “There has been conflict in the past and that will be resolved with courts like these,” said Saunders.
“I could certainly see why tennis players could get upset: Pickleball is getting to be so popular, it’s starting to encroach on what they do. “I think it’s really progressive of the District of West Kelowna to see that, identify the need and put the facility in place.” Saunders said that currently the sport is enjoyed primarily by the grayhaired crowd. “Right now it’s definitely most popular with those 50 and up, but it is going to be a young person’s sport after a while— the best player in the world is from Seattle, he’s 22. “We have over 150 people playing pickleball in Kelowna and West Kelowna. By the end of the year, I think we’ll probably have 75 members on the Westside.” Three of the new courts are inside of a dedicated pickleball playing surface, enclosed by a chain link fence. Adjacent to that is a multi-use facility, which has lines for one additional pickleball court. “We heard that pickleball was a big interest, but

Several members of the Central Okanagan Pickleball Association were also on hand for the grand opening. there was still some interest in maintaining multiuse. That’s why you see this setup,” said the district’s recreation and culture supervisor, Annette Beaudreau. She said part of the reason behind creating the pickleball playing surfaces was also to reduce conflict between tennis
players and pickleball enthusiasts. “(Pickleball players) would try to double line a tennis court—it created some conflict and confusion for players because there were so many lines.” Beaudreau added that the district created pickleball courts on a trial basis at the former Mount
Boucherie practice tennis court area. The courts have been well used and were recently the site of a tournament that hosted
players from across western Canada. According to Findlater, the renovations for the pickleball courts and
multi-use playing surface at Lakeview Heights Community Hall cost the district $95,000. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com
Tax deadline about to arrive for West Kelowna property owners Tax notices will be in the mail this week to more than 13,000 parcels of land within the boundaries of the District of West Kelowna. Taxes are due by the close of business on Thursday, July 5, and can be paid through most financial institutions (online or in person), by mail, by courier or in person at the municipal
hall, 2760 Cameron Rd. Those who are unable to visit municipal hall during regular business hours are asked to use the exterior payment drop box, located on the wall to the right of the main entrance. Payments must be placed in an envelope or stapled to accompanying paperwork and
submitted forms must be completed in full. Do not pay by cash in the drop box. Homeowner grants can be claimed online through districtofwestkelowna.ca. Once grants have been claimed, residents can also pay their taxes online by selecting the link to their financial institution and selecting “West Ke-
lowna—Taxes” as the bill payee. While every effort is made to ensure efficient operations during tax season, time delays can be minimized by taking the following steps: • If claiming a homeowner grant in person, ensure the application on your tax notice is completed in full and signed before attending the tax
counter. • Homeowner grants must still be applied for regardless of method of payment. To avoid a 10 per cent penalty, ensure homeowner grants are claimed by July 5. • If paying by cheque, fill it out in advance and include your tax roll number on the cheque. Any current taxes that are

No texting or chatting while driving D
avid Kubert, riding his motorcycle with his wife Linda as his passenger, sees the pickup truck driver steering with his elbows, his head down, immediately before the head-on crash. The truck had drifted across the centre line. The choice made by 18-year-old Kyle Best to text with his girlfriend while driving causes David and Linda to each lose a leg. Kyle pleads guilty to distracted driving. He is ordered to speak to 14 high schools about the dangers of texting and driving and has to pay about $775 in fines. As you would expect, Kyle also faces a civil case brought by David and Linda, who are seeking fair compensation for their losses arising from his careless choice. What isn’t expected is that Kyle’s girlfriend, Shannon, is also included in that lawsuit. Does it make sense that Kyle’s texting ac-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott complice is included in the lawsuit? If Shannon knew that Kyle was driving during their texting exchange, isn’t she as responsible as Kyle is for the crash? It was her texts that distracted him from the road. This particular incident was a New Jersey case. Shannon’s lawyer applied to a New Jersey judge to dismiss the case against her client. The application, heard last week Friday, was successful, as the judge ruled that it’s reasonable for text message senders to assume that recipients will behave responsibly. That decision is being appealed. Shannon had already given evidence under oath
in a deposition that she didn’t know whether Kyle had been driving at the time of the text exchange. I expect the decision would have been different if there had been proof that she had been aware. The wheels of justice often move slowly, so I won’t hold my breath for the results of the appeal. What I will do, though, if the right case comes across my desk, is pursue the same arguments here in British Columbia. It makes sense to me that those knowingly contributing to a dangerous situation should be held accountable. I would want there to be compelling proof the texting partner knew or ought to have known that the driver was actively engaging in the texting exchange while driving. An example: A girlfriend having a continuous texting exchange with her boyfriend who she knows is driving on the Coquihalla Highway. Proof would be easier
with a cell phone conversation, than with a text. With a conversation, you can tell from the vehicle noises and context of the discussion that the person you are conversing with is driving. Even though the distraction level is the same, whether you chat on a hand-held or hands free cell phone, only handheld cell phone use while driving is banned so far in British Columbia. That distinction won’t stop me from suing you on behalf of an injured victim if your hands free cell phone discussion distracts you to the point of causing a crash. It also won’t stop me from including your accomplice, the person you were chatting with, as an additional defendant in the lawsuit. Make the choice to stop being an accomplice to distracted driving. Refuse to participate in a texting exchange with someone you know or believe to be behind the wheel.

cil, which helps create and strengthen Aboriginal programming and resources at the university. “Edna has worked very hard over the years to advocate for an excellent education system as a primary resource for the development of children and communities,” said Lyle Mueller, special advisor, aboriginal relations at the UBC Okanagan campus. “She has been the primary driving force behind many initiatives to strengthen education, from preschool to postsecondary.” Lynn Bosetti, dean of

If a driver insists on chatting with you on a cell phone, require the driver to pull over before participating in the discussion. You will face irritation from drivers who you inconvenience by your choice. I certainly have faced that irritation. Feel free to blame me if a safety justification feels insufficient.

Lakeview residents urged to attend forum
The Lakeview Heights Community Association wants to alert local residents to an important public forum organized by the District of West Kelowna. The forum takes place at the Lakeview Community Hall on Tuesday, June 12. West Kelowna, Mayor Doug Findlater will attend the forum to answer questions and district chief financial officer Jim Zafino will discuss the issues surrounding concerns about the water meters, and more specifically, the significantly increased price of the water being delivered to residents.

o you want to be happier, healthier and smarter? I have just the prescription for you—add a daily dose of nature to your routine. Over the past decade, researchers from fields as diverse as biology, psychiatry, engineering, horticulture, neuroscience and medicine have realized what most of us know intuitively: Nature is good for our health and wellbeing. These experts have discovered countless links between time spent outdoors and cognitive, physical and emotional development. Studies show that enjoying a natural setting—like a park, beach, wetland, or forest—can reduce blood pressure, anxiety and stress. Exposure to nature can help you sleep well and increase vigour and liveliness. It can even boost your immune system. In their new book Your Brain on Nature, naturopath Alan Logan and Harvard physician Eva Selhub cite dozens of studies that demonstrate the health benefits of the natural world. They even refer to outdoor physical activity as “exercise squared” because it can increase energy and fitness levels while reducing fatigue, depression and obesity. Melissa Lem, a family doctor and member of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, says exposure to nature is vitally important for kids.
She suggests that time spent with flora and fauna is essential for healthy psychological and physical development in children. She points to David Suzuki studies that show daily doses of “green time” can be used to prevent and treat conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, hypertension and diabetes. Ailments like myopia, asthma and depression have also been linked to inadequate nature exposure. And with more than 80 per cent of Canadians now living in urban settings, many of us lack a meaningful, regular connection with the natural environment that sustains us. Getting in touch with the outdoors has another great benefit: those who know and love nature work harder to protect it. This is why the David Suzuki Foundation is about to launch its first ever 30x30 Challenge. Starting June 1, we’re inviting Canadians to spend at least 30 minutes in nature each day for 30 days. By encouraging people to get a regular dose of fresh air we hope to help participants take advantage of the many health benefits nature has to offer. They might even make it part of their continuing daily practice. With the busy lives that many of us lead, taking time to get outside may seem difficult. But it’s easier than you think. Green space is as close as your
SCIENCE MATTERS
local park or backyard garden. Trails, ravines and community gardens are often a short distance from the daily grind. And birds, bees and other critters are usually nearby; you just have to take time to slow down, breathe, watch and listen. Are you curious about how you can get your daily dose of nature? Ditch the indoor gym and go for a run or walk in a park or on a trail instead. Use your lunch break to get out of the office and visit a nearby green space. Find a nice leafy tree and read a book in the shade. Brush off your green thumb and spruce up your garden. And on June 15, make plans to get outside with your favourite little ones on Nature Play Day in Canada. For the young at heart, a British organization called the National Trust has put together a fun list of 50 activities all children should do before they are 11 3/4 years old. While playing conkers (a game involving chestnuts on strings) might not be among the top 50 Canadian pastimes, the list includes cool activities that are worthwhile for any age. The joys of rolling down a big hill, eating an apple picked fresh from a tree and hunting for bugs are truly timeless. Join the 30x30 Challenge beginning June 1 and incorporate small natural diversions into your daily routine for a month. Add some green to your commute, lunch break, workout schedule, or playtime. And remember, a daily dose of nature is good for your head, heart and health. www.davidsuzuki.org

Support for Purina Dog Walk appreciated To the editor: The Purina Walk For Dog Guides held in Peachland on May 27, 2012, was a success again this year because of the dedication of the Peachland Lions Club that hosted this event and made another large donation to our cause. Incidentally, they are
the only Lions Club in the Okanagan that has sponsored and assisted us here locally out of seven Kelowna groups that have been repeatedly contacted to offer assistance to this notable cause. I would again like to express my gratitude to the volunteers and members of the Peachland Li-
ons Club that worked so hard to make this event a success. We raised $2,540 in donations from local retail businesses. And would like to also thank-you to Dr. Moshe Oz, with the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital for his outstanding donation. Thanks as well go the awesome newspaper arti-
cles from Dorothy Brotherton and Wade Paterson they really helped promote awareness of our Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guide program. Thank you all for a wonderful expression of support for the disabled in our community. Wade Ireland, Peachland

URBAN EUGENE LUCAS August 13, 1926 – May 29, 2012 It is with profound sorrow and deep regret that we announce the passing of Urban (Luke) into the waiting arms of our Lord Jesus. Urban was predeceased by his wife Dorothy, parents Albert and Elsie, brothers Merlin, Keith and Albert (Bunny) and sisters Yvonne, Eileen and Shirley. He is survived by his twin sister Muriel (Mighty) O’Neil, brothers Carmen (Valerie) and Donny; daughters Juanita Lucas-Malley (John) of Cranbrook, BC, Linda Findlay (Jim) of Kelowna, BC; grandchildren Aaron, Joe, Corey and Darcy; great grandchildren; Lucas, Dezaray, Aaliyah, Teagan, Mica, Lillian, Skyla and Piper; as well as his loving companion Antonetta (Nettie) Dewit. Born in Downyville, ON, he settled in Kimberley, BC, where he worked for Cominco. He was a volunteer fire-fighter and member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Moving his family to Cranbrook in 1970 he was employed by the City of Cranbrook as a Fire-Fighter, then became an Emergency Paramedic where he maintained the position of Unit Chief at the Cranbrook station until his retirement in 1990. He spent his last years in Kelowna “for warmer weather and better golf.” Urban will be best remembered for his love of fiddling (he was a member of the BC Old Time Fiddlers), clogging, infectious grin and laughter. Urban was also a devoted member of the Catholic Church. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all those whose lives he touched. Father, Friend, Lover, Companion. Good-Bye Dad; missed but not forgotten. Love always. Memorial Service will be held at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, on Friday, June 1, 2012 at 1:00 pm. Interment at later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association – Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2Z6.

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 was 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 was held on Friday, May 25th, 2012 at 1:30 P.M. at the Kelowna Gospel Fellowship Church, 3714 Gordon Drive, Kelowna. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and searching his name under stories. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna, BC (250)762-2299.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection May 2012 Q MBSS Global Service Club
Award-winning awareness Grad celebrations of 2012 BY BRIANNE MOORE At Mount Boucherie the Global Service Club has successfully achieved in bringing fellow peers and members from the community for an important cause: raising funds and awareness for low income countries around the world. Throughout the past year we have thrown various events and continue to run a fair trade organic coffee shop setting a goal to raise as much money to the cause we are currently supporting, which is a school in Ecuador, and this year having raised a total of $8,500. Over the years the members within the club have been very committed to having fundraisers and hosting charitable events, having been successful the club has now been nominated for the Big Dreamers Award, a chance to have $5,000 matched. The club was honored with this award last year, and hope to receive it again this year, as it would led to the completion of the school’s adopted village project in Totoras, Ecuador.
Next year Global Service is again going to work on completing an adopted village model, which includes an alternative income project, a medical clinic, a school and clean water for a village in Africa. Having worked there two years ago, and making a trip to the country itself the club hopes to see the same success and powerful impact that it had in the village Kisaruni four years ago when the model was completed. Overall, it is the unwavering support and love for helping others that has caused Mount Boucherie to continuously dedicate time and effort for those around the world. The group never fails when it comes to gathering new ideas or trying something they have never done before as they always give their best effort. With countless hours spent planning, at the events and all the preparation that is needed Mount Boucherie never fails when it comes to lending a helping hand.
GLITZ AND GLAMOUR added to the celebratory theme of the evening held at the Delta Grand Okanagan May 13th.
Leadership retreat at Green Bay Bible Camp showcases leadership opportunities at Mount Boucherie Secondary School BY ALLISON BROWN Grade nine leadership students from Constable Neil Bruce and Glenrosa Middle School took part in a leadership retreat at Green Bible Camp with leaders from Mount Boucherie on Friday, May 25th. The middle school students took part in an orientation about the different leadership programs offered at the high school. All students gathered in the gym for the ‘gym riot’ which consisted of four teams competing to win the title of ‘highest spirits’. Things got pretty wild as the students raced to win relays by whistling after chewing crackers, unwrapping and blowing a gum bubble with only their tongues, sliding cookies down their faces, and racing under ropes. These team building activities led into some one on one activities. The leadership students of the middle schools got a chance to sit down with the Bears and get to know the teens they would be sharing their school with next year. Each Boucherie leadership group got a chance to expand on their branch of leadership so the youngsters could properly weigh their options for grade 10. Ms. Maier, the head of the leadership department at Boucherie, was all smiles as she watched the different groups present. Global Service Club is a group that focuses on tackling global issues in the local community and internationally. The Global Village, an organic coffee shop run by the students at Boucherie, is a major contributor to
the fundraising constantly going at the school. The club is open to all students who wish to make a difference in their school, community and on a global level. The recreation leadership class, who hosted the ‘gym riot’, hosts and organizes the different events of the school. This group not only organizes spirit days, but the grade six volleyball tournaments, among many other things. Being responsible for hiking up others spirits isn’t any easy job but this group made it look easy at the riot. The Link Crew is a group of handpicked students that will be welcoming the grade nines to high school and ensuring they have a smooth transition to high school. These are the students that come to school a day early to offer the youngsters an orientation, and offer their personal advice and a tour of the school. The Peer Counsellors always have their door open and welcome students to talk to them about anything they are struggling with. The counsellors take the peer counselling course, apply to be a counsellor and if selected can offer mediations to those who need them. The purpose of the mediation is to find a solution to the problem, coming to a mutual agreement and signing a contract. The retreat was an overall success in informing the grade nines about Boucherie’s programs as well as getting them excited for high school. Not to mention a great way to welcome the next leadership students of Boucherie, into our den.
On Sunday, May 13th, the graduates of Mount Boucherie Secondary School took part in the majestic tradition of the Grand March along the boardwalk in front of the Delta Grand Okanagan. Students were adorned in evening gowns, tuxes and all sorts of fancy attire which added to the lustre of the unforgettable evening. The walk commenced at six in the evening, followed by the dinner and dance and the Delta Grand Hotel. Highlights from the dinner included a lovely commentary from the MC’s of the night: Mikayla Sherry, Rachel Morrison, Tahnee Pierson-Roberts and Gina Bukovnik. As well, students were entertained by their grad classes historian and futurist, Nicole Nairismagi and Colleen Fish, who thoughtfully reflected on the history and predicted the future of the Mount Boucherie class of 2012. After all the speeches and the dinner concluded, parents were invited to partake in the tradition of the father-daughter dance and the mother-son dance. With the evening drawing to a close, a certain sadness became palpable in the air, as the graduates realized the day they had been looking forward to was over, and another milestone in their lives had been made. However, there was also a tone of optimism as the grads look forward to the bright futures ahead of them. The indescribable evening would not have been possible without the hard work of Ms. Melanie Benko, to whom the graduates are all extremely grateful. Looking forward, the grads are anticipating the cap and gown ceremony at Trinity Baptist Church, as well as the dry grad celebrations which follow.
