Free wine trade up to each province Contrary to what some people believe, the new federal wine bill, C-311, will not allow wine to be shipped freely across provincial borders within Canada. It also won’t allow online sales of B.C. wines to those in other provinces. “All it does is “clarifies that a province can set limits. It didn’t open provincial borders to all imports from other provinces,� explained Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. In fact, negotiations are currently underway between the jurisdictions that control liquor legislation in all the provinces in Canada on what the limits will be in each on bringing wine, beer and spirits across the border from another province. It’s highly unlikely that those talks and the decisions that will be made in each province’s legislature, will occur before tourist season gets underway in the Okanagan this weekend, much less by the end of summer. “We want to encourage the ministry and the government to open trade across the country to do-
mestic wines, but we can’t impose our view on the rest of the country,� said Letnick. “We’re working closely with other provinces to encourage them to open their borders.� However, he admitted it’s possible that some provinces are concerned that if Canadian borders are opened inter-provincially, our U.S. partners would also lobby to have our border opened to them. It’s possible, he said, that there could be a challenge from our international trading partners. And then there’s the question of a loss of revenue to the receiving province if other provinces accepted B.C. wines without payment of provincial taxes on it. “The liquor industry is a substantial item in the provincial budget,� noted Letnick. However, he said, because B.C. is a large producer of wines, “I believe our sales of wine to other provinces would offset any of our losses (from permitting imports from other provinces)� he said. On the other hand, it is now legal under federal law for a resident of See Trade A20

JOHN HEBERT, head saw filer at Gorman Bros. lumber mill in West Kelowna, demonstrates how the world’s smallest operating sawmill works. The miniature mill is now on display at the Westbank Museum.

Miniature sawmill exhibit unveiled Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The world’s smallest known operating sawmill is now on display at the Westbank Museum. Members of the BC Saw Filers Association were on hand for the unveiling of the artifact Wednesday at its new home. The entire mill was designed and built in the early 1960s by head saw filer Phil Quelch. It represents over 10,000 hours of work over a span of 11 years. Bruce Doroshuk, president
of the BC Saw Filers Association, said that the Westbank Museum is a great temporary home for such a historic artifact. “This is a great part of our heritage. The logging industry and the forestry industry have been the backbone of our economy, especially in the Okanagan Valley,� said Doroshuk. “To have this on display at the Westbank Museum, we take great pride. I’m sure Phil would be proud that we’re showing it to the general public so they can be educated, not only about the hist-
ory, but how mills actually run.� The artifact is modeled on the jack-ladder type mill that once lined the coast of Vancouver Island, the Fraser River and the interior waterways of B.C. Despite being a miniature model, the mill is 16 feet long; it is scaled at about one inch to one foot of an actual mill. “This mini mill shows the inventiveness of Phil Quelch,� said Doroshuk. “He has a mix master motor, a can opener motor, sewing machine motors and a barbecue ro-

Search is on for devastating alien mussels in Okanagan Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Boaters will be the target of a new program this year to try and prevent an invasion of two alien mussel species into B.C. waters, the quagga and zebra mussel. Adele Brick is a student in the Water Engineering Technology program at Okanagan College and she will be travelling around the valley this summer to help educate people about these prolific, toxic invasive species. “One female quagga or zebra mussel can produce a million young up to four times a year,” explained Brick. Zebra mussels will attach themselves to anything aquatic, including the props of boats, water pipes, storm sewers, wharves and boats. Although the adult mussel is only about the size of your thumbnail, the young are microscopic and free swimming, so they can attach themselves to anything in the water and you wouldn’t even notice them at first, she explained. However, in no time, they can get into water intakes, clog up pumps or boat motors and cause devastating damage. “Some cities have to
spend millions of dollars cleaning up as a result of these infestations,” Brick said. So far, they haven’t been detected this far west, but from Ontario east, waters are infested with them, so the likelihood of them being brought here in a visitor’s boat is of grave concern, she said. Washington State is also free of them so far, but they have been detected in boats entering that state, bound for B.C., noted Brick. “We don’t want them here,” she said emphatically. Her work helping to educate people about the mussels and other invasive aquatic species is part of an Okanagan Basin Water Board contract with the South Okanagan-Similkameen Invasive Plant Society, with financial assistance from the Canada Summer Jobs program. She will work throughout the valley this summer encouraging boaters to clean, drain and dry their boats and equipment before entering another lake, she said. These invasive mussels can live for up to a month in a very small amount of water, so it’s really important that all the

QUAGGA (above) and zebra mussels are the subject of a search this summer. They are invasive species not native to Okanagan waters.
JUDIE STEEVES/CONTRIBUTOR
OKANAGAN COLLEGE student Adele Brick offers floating keychain reminders and informative carabiners to encourage boaters to help prevent an infestation of two new invasive mussel species in B.C. Zebra and quagga mussels are causing millions of dollars in damage in Eastern Canada and the U.S. little crevices, wells or bilges in boats are cleaned thoroughly each time the equipment is used. Native mussels in this region do not attach them-
selves to anything, so you can be confident if a mussel is attached to a hard surface that it’s not a native mussel, she said. As well as the eco-
nomic and environmental damage they do, these invasive mussels expel a substance that can cause toxic blue green algae blooms in lakes, and
they can foul beaches by infesting them, creating sharp surfaces which will cut the feet, then the smell of decaying flesh. Either drain every part of your boat for at least five days in the sun, or pressure wash it in hot water. Brick will be taking her message to farmers’ markets, boat shows, boat launches and other public places where she will also be handing out floating key chain reminders, and carabiners with tags
describing a number of aquatic invasive species of concern. In order to try and prevent these species from getting a toehold here, everyone has to work together to keep their boats clean and free of them; and to prevent transporting them from one body of water to another. For more information, or to report any sightings of these alien species of mussel, contact the society at: sosips.ca or e-mail sosips@shaw.ca.

Aggressive deer attack pets, perhaps to protect fawns Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Residents living in neighbourhoods frequented by deer are advised not to take their dogs for walks where those deer have been seen, because does with fawns can behave very aggressively. Conservation officer Terry Myroniuk says there were a couple of complaints this week from
Okanagan Mission-area residents regarding aggressive deer threatening or attacking their dogs. At least one of the aggressive deer was a doe with two very small fawns. In both cases, people successfully intervened, but he warned that—despite their apparent shyness and big gentle eyes— deer are still wild animals. They have very sharp
hooves and they will defend their space. In order to protect both your dog and yourself, he suggested not taking your dog for a walk in areas where you have seen deer. Does are dropping their fawns at this time of year and the first few weeks are the most critical for those young ones. “The moms are much more protective when their fawns are very young.
Right now they can be the shaky-legged little ones that are only a few hours old, or fawns that are just a few days old, and that’s when the does can be especially aggressive,” commented Myroniuk. Because dogs closely resemble the deer’s most common predators, wolves and coyotes, deer are really skittish about them, he said. A heightened aware-
ness about the possibility of an attack is wise if you frequent deer habitat. There’s a good population of deer in most areas of Kelowna, he said, and lots of them in residential areas, particularly near parks. It’s likely the deer moms realize there are fewer coyotes and cougars in the city, so they feel protected here, once they have become ha-
bituated to being around people, he added. As well, he said they have had to deal with a couple of instances of people picking up fawns they believe have been orphaned. Leave them be, he warned. The doe will be back to collect her baby. He also advised that cougars have been sighted along hiking trails in the Okanagan, so be aware.

What do wearers say y about our adaptable... p
Golf Lens?
Flooding fears raised by forecast
“You can read the green better.” “Clarity is amazing” “On cloudy days they change to a lighter sun glass, giving me a vibrant view of the fairway.”
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
“Polorized lenses help block out the glare & on sunny days they darken to block out the sun, while allowing enough light to see the golf ball.”
It’s all dependent on the weather again. Water levels in Mission Creek and other area creeks have dropped somewhat, but a storm is forecast to hit the Okanagan late Friday, dumping a significant amount of rain, and if that happens, there will be more flooding. That’s the word from Jason Brolund, Central Okanagan emergency program coordinator, who warns those who live in an area that could be prone to flooding from high lake or creek levels to take precautions, because another surge of high water could go through the system Friday night and over the weekend. He said the warmer weather is welcome, but it means melting snow will be added to the runoff from rain. Okanagan Lake was eight centimetres above what’s called full pool, or its target level, Wednesday and was still rising. Brolund said it rose 11 cm above that target level last year, and it will go higher than that level this year. So, even if your property wasn’t impacted by high water last year, it could be this year if you’re near the lake. For up-to-date information and advice on what you can do, go to: www.cordemergency.ca

creek is being monitored by emergency program staff, said spokesman Bruce Smith. Property owners living around lakes are advised to protect their docks and other waterfront structures from possible damage. Leaving wood debris along the shoreline may help to reduce damage from high water and erosion from wave action. Boaters are asked to keep their speed and wakes down near the shoreline to prevent damage to private property. They are also warned to stay alert to floating hazards brought down into lakes by high creek runoff. If you notice a potential problem or flooding concern, contact regional fire dispatch at 250-469-8801. Sandbags are available at local fire halls for property owners facing imminent danger from flooding. Be cautious if you are walking near creeks or streams and keep children and pets safely back from the banks, because they may be slippery or subject to erosion from high, fast-flowing water, noted Smith. Be aware that as they react to melting snow and rain high in their watersheds, creeks could rise suddenly, he warned.

In addition, he said there are concerns that high winds will accompany the storm and those could affect lakeshore properties as well. Although Mission Creek’s discharge has dropped, it is expected to go up again as warm weather melts the remainder of the snowpack at high elevations, and as runoff from the forecast rain is funneled down the creek to Okanagan Lake. Because of high lake levels, there is some sign of backup into creeks such as Mission Creek too, noted Brolund, although the creek level has dropped. There is a High Streamflow Advisory in place for the Okanagan, including Mission Creek, and Brolund said there is some localized flooding between Kalamalka and Wood Lake. Work is underway to design a re-routing of Shorts Creek on the Fintry Delta up Westside Road, to prevent flooding of homes on the delta. “We’re grateful to the province for helping us to solve problems and protect people and infrastructure through this,” said Brolund. Shorts Creek’s flows will be redirected into an older channel in order to prevent damage to property in the neighbourhood. The regional district applied for emergency funding from the province and was successful. Until the work is completed the

CrocTalk earns B.C. zoo status
Barry Gerding
EDITOR
The CrocTalk Conservation and Rescue facility has climbed a major hurdle toward finding a permanent home in the Central Okanagan. Doug Illman, who cofounded CrocTalk with his partner Brenda Bruce, has been granted zoo status, making CrocTalk the first animal institution of its kind to receive that sanctioning in B.C. “This was a big step for us,” Illman said Tuesday. “It’s the last hurdle we had to endure and accomplish to get to where we want to go with CrocTalk. “The province has never sanctioned anything like this before which is why it took 7 1/2 months to go through the approval process.” “What they have done
is accommodate our plans because of our due diligence. We have done things right over the years, and it has now paid off.” Illman said the decision reflects the importance of being persistent in chasing your dreams, “to never give up and keep plugging away.” With the zoo sanction now in place, Illman said CrocTalk can now operate as such anywhere in B.C. Currently located at a temporary facility on Stewart Road in East Kelowna, Illman said he hopes to find investors who will help relocate the facility to a permanent location along Highway 97. “We definitely need to be on the highway,” Illman said. “We get about 8,000 people at our current location but that doesn’t pay the freight to cover our costs. We are looking at a 15,000 square-foot facil-
ity that’s now being designed, where if closer to the highway could draw up to 200,000 people a year.” Illman credited the support of Steve Thomson, Kelowna-Mission MLA and Minister of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource under which the zoo permit was approved, as well as former Kelowna mayor Sharon Shepherd. With a permanent facility, Illman said CrocTalk could expand to also include sharks along with crocodilians and tortoises, and continue to enhance the conservation and educational opportunities that he feels very passionate about. “This is a unique opportunity for kids in our community to learn about these animals. Study and research is a big part of what we do,” Illman said.
“We don’t put animals behind glass or in ponds to look at. They have to earn their keep here as we are constantly learning from these guys, pushing their envelopes of what we can demand and what they can understand. “That learning and research process is something that can carry on long after we are gone. We just need a permanent facility to do that and we’re ready to now consider that next step.” Once a permanent location is found, CrocTalk will be in a position to apply for accreditation from the Canadian Association for Zoos and Aquariums, the top acknowledgement an animal institution can receive in Canada. That accreditation will also allow CrocTalk to obtain its commercial zoo permit.

Memories of shooting incident in 2007 reveal conflicting testimony Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Testimony from witnesses in the Trevor Shannon murder trial Wednesday presented two very different points of view on the moments before Evan Wilkes was fatally shot in April 2007. Shane Feretos, then 18 years old and a lifelong friend of Wilkes, testified he was standing directly beside Shannon outside a house party the group were attending and had his hand on the shooter’s shoulder, trying to calm an escalating argument with Wilkes when Shannon pulled out his gun and fired. “In my mind, I didn’t think he would shoot him,� said Feretos. “There was no reason to shoot him. He was never threatened in any way.� Feretos contends that after an altercation with fellow party-goer Parker Burrows in the kitchen of the Vimy Road home where the shooting took place, Shannon proceeded to leave the house party hosted by Taylor Henderson, moving onto the driveway of the home. He then contends he intervened in a discussion between Wilkes and Feretos, encouraging an intoxicated Wilkes to go back inside and placing a hand on Shannon’s shoulder, asking him to leave. According to Feretos, Shannon completely ignored the request, opting instead to whip out the gun he had brandished in the kitchen argument just moments before. “It was like Trevor didn’t even know I
was there. He wasn’t listening,� Feretos told the court, noting he “didn’t want anything to escalate and I could tell that (Shannon) was tense.� From the Feretos account, Shannon and Wilkes started to argue and Shannon then stepped forward with his right foot, raised the gun and shot Wilkes. But defence lawyer Brent Bagnall pointed to a string of inconsistencies in the story, asking whether Feretos was actually recalling the events as they unfolded or whether time and information from others had filled in some gaps. From the explanation Feretos gave in initial police interviews, to his testimony in the preliminary hearing and previous trial four years ago, he suggested Feretos is unable to provide a story that weaves together cohesively and indicated his questions to police during interviews suggested he wants to see Shannon held to account for the shooting. At one point Bagnall noted the testimony Feretos was providing during this appeal trial had never been heard before—not in police interviews, not in the preliminary hearing or previous trial. Feretos now recalls the altercation between Shannon and Burrows in the kitchen, which took place in the kitchen included Burrows’ question whether the gun was real then threatening to give Shannon a wedgy. “Is your memory getting better with time?� Bagnall asked.
Feretos explained that he had gone back in his memory and retrieved the tidbit of information during this trial. He also flat-out denied that the witness who followed him was on hand in the moments leading up to the shooting, although both that witness, Robert Craig, and the defence council say he was the one with his hand on Shannon’s shoulder pleading with him to leave the party. Craig, now 24, said he was at the party thrown by Trevor Henderson because he knew most of the others in attendance and only knew Trevor Shannon as a friend of a friend who was already at the party when he arrived after midnight. Unlike Feretos, who was reportedly drinking white rum and had smoked one or two joints of marijuana, Craig was not on any drugs and had only had two to three beers over the course of the couple hours before the shooting.
He contends he saw Wilkes challenge Shannon, asking him why he brought a gun to a high school party and “being very verbal.� He agreed that Shannon did take a step toward Wilkes as he shot, but noted the gun came up in an arch before going off when it reached his head. Earlier testimony in this appeal trial has indicated there was talk that the gun was a pellet gun. Five years after the party gone wrong, it appears the challenge of these proceedings will be to ascertain how well the former teenagers remember the events as young adults, particularly in the wake of the previous trial and the discussions that have occurred among friends in the years that have intervened.

Lottery Corp competes for Horse owner gets her horses back gaming dollars Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The B.C. Lottery Corporation continues to wage a successful campaign for our entertainment dollars. And that is benefitting both the provincial government coffers and social services that rely on gaming grants every year. The board of directors for the BCLC held meetings in Kelowna this week to chart the direction for the next year, citing the example of Chances as how the gaming industry has grown to meet the needs of its customers. John McLernon, chairman of the BCLC board, said the decision to expand beyond just lottery sales into gambling has paid dividends. “Across Canada, we have probably been among the most aggressive in expanding beyond the lottery ticket sale base, but we felt that was necessary to fight for the entertainment dollar in B.C.,” McLernon said. He noted that changes in technology, in how gaming options can be delivered to British Columbians, has also had an impact. “We are a $2 billion business today, so we employ a lot of people but there is also a lot of risk that makes the gaming business a challenge,” he said. McLernon has been with the BCLC board since 2005, a provincial government appointee. He also sits on several other boards, having made his mark in business as chair and CEO of Colliers Macaulay Nicolls, a global commercial real estate services company from 1977 to 2004. About his experience with BCLC, McLernon said he and the other board members want to take the Crown corporation to the next level. “We want to be competitive for that entertainment dollar, and we want to go forward in a socially responsible way,” said McLernon, acknowledging the concerns from critics about the government’s increased foray into the gambling business and the social costs that incurs. “That is something we don’t want to lose sight of, both the direct and indirect benefits derived from what we do.”
Serendipity, Mel, Steele and Faith are back home after what their owner describes as four days of incredible stress and uncertainty. Silverado Socrates first noticed that four of her horses were missing last Friday morning from Mandy and Me Trailriding stables in West Kelowna. Socrates said that she initially suspected someone may have taken the horses because she didn’t see any tracks or other signs indicating that the horses had escaped on their own. According to Socrates, she contacted the RCMP, alerting them that the horses were gone. She also took the investigation into her own hands by starting a Facebook group and getting her friends and those who help out at the stables to assist in the search effort. Socrates located the horses Monday evening in the Ellison area. She claimed that she knows the individuals who took the horses from her prop-

erty. She also indicated that there wasn’t any confrontation when she took the animals back. “They were a few of the ones that I suspected; there was a group involved,” said Socrates. “It’s all bizarre. It’s not the right thing to do. I don’t think they had any realization of how stressful it was for so many people.” Socrates said she is still trying to piece together the group’s motive for taking the animals. She said that some of the individuals had grown close to the horses after helping out at Mandy and Me Trailriding. “Normally horseback riding costs a lot of money. All of these guys had the opportunity to ride for free in exchange for helping. They had a very lucky break to be allowed to be here at all.” Socrates said those guilty have lost her trust and will likely lose their privileges at the stables for the time being.

S
chizophrenia is a very serious and disabling mental illness. Troubling symptoms including hallmark psychotic hallucinations and delusions tend to develop in the prime of life and can lead to detachment from reality and a near total loss of ability to function in society. With appropriate treatment, symptoms can be managed and some degree of function restored for many patients with this condition. Unfortunately, if prescribed treatment plans are not carefully followed or are discontinued, problems can arise. This is not an uncommon issue. For many reasons, close to 50 per cent of people discontinue or fail to regularly take a prescribed antipsychotic medication within the first year of treatment. Sometimes, as symptoms subside with a new treatment, the patient no longer feels as though medication is needed and so discontinues or becomes irregular with it. Others may discontinue because of unpleasant side effects or if the treatment is not working as well as hoped. Unstable life situations can also play a role in irregular medication usage. While psychiatrists have long advocated the importance of sticking to a treatment plan when it comes to serious conditions such as schizophrenia, a new study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry has shown just how important it is. Researchers from UCLA followed outpatients taking oral antipsychotic medications and examined their adherence to prescribed treatments as well as effects for those who chose not to reliably follow their treatment plan.
HEALING After 18 months, results MINDS showed even short periods
of irregular medication use can lead to relapse of psychotic symptoms and a need for hospitalization. Although not totally Paul unexpected, the researchLatimer ers were surprised to learn that irregular medication use even for brief periods is associated with a significant risk of relapse. Within the study: 32 per cent took their medication as prescribed; 33 per cent had mild non-adherence (meaning they took only 50 to 75 per cent of meds over a two week period); 16 per cent had moderate non-adherence (taking less than 50 per cent of meds during a two to four week period); and 19 per cent had severe non-adherence (taking less than 50 per cent of meds for more than four consecutive weeks or dropping out of treatment). Any irregular treatment compliance—even mild—was associated with a risk of relapse. Typically, symptoms would begin to show up within a couple of months of irregularity in medication usage. Although it’s not clear why even mild issues with medication compliance are dangerous, researchers suggest it may be due in part to the current practice of prescribing the lowest amount of medication that will improve symptoms while minimizing side effects—leaving very little room for missed doses. Whatever the reason, this study highlights the importance of sticking to a course of treatment and working closely with a professional when managing a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia.

River experience can wait
T
he provincial government continues to throw millions of dollars towards Experience the Fraser, a plan to link existing parks and trails along both sides of the river from Vancouver to Hope. Most of the money, $2.5 million initially, went towards developing a concept plan – mapping out the hiking and biking trail links. But because of private property—some of it occupied by industrial businesses, such as saw
mills, and even more of it being native land—the proposed trail has to go around them, for now. While connected by a line on a map, the trail in some areas would consist only of a road shoulder and some signs indicating the route. So it’s not really one, long connected trail, but a series of independent existing ones. Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes suggests a small park fee be added to municipal taxes to purchase private river-

front property if or when it becomes available, to expand the route and fill in the gaps. It’s a nice idea, but a costly one. And would such a trail, if completed, really attract tourists? Where’s the economic return if they’re just bypassing through towns? Remember the Trans Canada Trail? Who uses it? Who cares? Fraser Valley residents have a plethora of trails they use in abundance already—and some make up part of the Trans Can-
ada Trail and Experience the Fraser. Metro Vancouver says little money is currently available for pursuing the Experience trail system, which would require many, many millions to complete. In the present economic climate, this has to be a lower priority. Keep investing modestly in regional parks development and maintenance. Experience the Fraser can wait. —Abbotsford News

Post-secondaries must cut costs to keep budgets in line
Y
ears ago, with a decent parttime job and working full-time during the summer, most students were able to cover the cost of going to college or university without absorbing a lot of student debt. Before the mid-’80s many students were able to graduate debt-free just because they were able to live at home. Like everything else since then tuition has increased along with housing prices, groceries, fuel for your car, etc. The only thing I can think of which has gone down in price is the cost of a computer. Even though Canadian students lobby governments to keep tuition fees down, most provinces don’t really allow colleges and universities
to increase their fees when and how they want. For years B.C. had a tuition freeze and it was only in 2002 that this was lifted. Today, the government sets an annual cap increase of two per cent and this even applies to other fees such as an application fee. So when a B.C. post-secondary institution is facing frozen funding or a reduction in its operating grant from the government, and when it faces increases in costs such as utilities or salaries, the only option to deal with a budget deficit is to find efficiencies.
Those might include lay-offs and the cancellation of programs. The government is very clear that students should not bear the full financial impact of an Jane institution dealing with Muskens a budget deficit. This is important because, although students complain about the rising cost of tuition fees, at least the B.C. government isn’t willing to let costs increase dramatically—which is part of the problem in Quebec. Both the United States and England have allowed substantial increases in tuition to offset costs.
SCHOOL’S IN
In England in 1998 students paid about $2,500 per year. By 2010 this amount increased to approximately $5,300. Due to rising costs and a notso-great British economy, the government lifted the tuition cap and by 2012 64 universities in England increased their annual tuition fees to $14,500. This increase was significant enough to stop a number of students from going to university and in some cases for those already enrolled it stopped them from continuing and subsequently graduating. The United States has had similar increases where tuition at public four-year colleges went up 73 per cent since 1999. Most of these costs were
attributed to state budget cuts, and a shift away from government support to placing the financial burden on the student and their family. Many publicly-funded colleges and universities were able to raise their tuition fees with very little backlash from the government. Now, with the recent recession, tuition has increased even more. Tuition at American institutions varies from $5,000 to $50,000 per year (at Okanagan College students will pay approximately $3,100 in tuition if they are enrolled in our university transfer program).

Pipeline will give negligible benefit to B.C. That company is currently undergoing community hearings in anticipation of building the Northern Gateway Pipeline from Bruderheim, Alberta to Kitimat, B.C. that’s set to traverse rugged mountains, pristine wilderness and areas of high geotechnical risk including avalanches, slides and seismic activity. The bitumin will then be loaded onto supertankers bound for Asia that really have no hope of safely navigating the notoriously treacherous waters of the Inside Passage. In April, B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix said that “under the Enbridge
proposal, British Columbia would assume almost all the project’s risk, yet would see only a fraction of the benefits. By any measure, such a high-risk, low-return approach simply isn’t in B.C.’s interests.” In May, Premier Christy Clark described the Northern Gateway project as “a balance of risk and benefit.” She admitted that the project would create almost no jobs in B.C. “It creates some jobs in the construction phase but there are very few long-term jobs that would be left in the province after that.” Like Dix, she concluded that
it’s a high-risk, low-return game. “B.C. is taking 100 per cent of the risk. But at the moment B.C. gets about the same benefit as Nova Scotia.” The risk-benefit ratio could improve, of course, if Alberta offers B.C. access fees or a share of royalties. But it’s still a nowin proposition when one calculates the profound costs of the inevitable spills and the loss of the coastline, the fisheries, and the ancestral grounds of First Nations livelihood and culture. Just last week the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released a report, A Green Industrial
Revolution, showing that carbon-intensive industrial policies can be overcome and a transition made to a sustainable economy and a zero carbon Canada. It’s scarcely the first report of its kind. Such possibilities are anything but new news. There’s actually no reason for Canadians to be browbeaten into embracing fossil fuel development as a divine order and oil spills as the status quo by politicians who are acting on behalf of their corporate sponsors—the oil and gas industry—rather than their constituents. Dianne Varga, Kelowna
Canada’s resources open to wholesale selloff To the editor: There is something incredibly sneaky about the way Harper’s Conservative’s have carefully shielded their agenda behind cost savings. The cuts are being called a consolidation of excess government spending. Obviously some spending cuts have to be implemented but the trouble is finding when and where to implement them. The Conservative Party was plainly aware that there were plenty of environmental assessment groups in place to keep everything in check. The federal majority, looking to streamline its ability to exploit our natural resources for short-term capital gain, has now made sure that this is no longer the case. The trick they’ve pulled, and this is where the word “agenda” becomes apparent, is the
small incremental alterations that they’ve put into place to facilitate these changes. The omnibus budget bill is a carefully worded document meant to conceal incredibly destructive lawyer-speak, opening up plenty of legal loopholes to be swiftly exploited in favor of international corporate interests. In the same way that collective bargaining agreements have been essentially barred from occurring, environmentalists’ ability to stop harmful capital projects has been rendered powerless. Places like Kitimat now have almost no authority to prevent the Enbridge pipeline from popping up. Sure, in the first few years it might be uneventful, but one catastrophic event could forever change B.C.’s landscape. The damage would be irreparable.
Enbridge would apologize, throw some money at the residents, release a few commercials of grassy fields, and gloss over the environmental disaster. If no lesson was learned from the Exxon Valdez or BP’s recent oil tragedy, then we might as well clear cut our forests, drain the lakes and rivers, and sell it all off for profit now. That is what we’re building towards if we continue to ignore what is inevitable under the Conservative majority government. The market will open up, international money will pour in, and Canada will no longer be in control of its future. We reap what we sow. Cathay Gibson, Kelowna
No one to blame but ourselves for majority gov’t To the editor: The latest omnibus budget bill just passed by the Conservative Party is really no surprise if anyone has been paying attention to Harper’s idiosyncratic policies. It is just another step in the direction of shortsightedness presented by the current majority government. It creates an interesting argument, really, about the fundamental pull of the
Conservative Party on the rest of the country. It is the central flaw in right wing ideologies as they ruthlessly invade policymaking. The Canadian opposition parties are all concerned with long-term goals. That includes the environment, health care, and the future of our children. The Conservative Party, by their very na-
ture, is only interested in the short term. They want to cut funding today, open up free markets, and concern themselves solely with profit margins. In times of economic peril this would only seem logical, yet those same policies created the wideopen and flawed market of our friendly neighbours to the south. Unfortunately the Conservative Party is now
Tuition covers 27% costs in B.C. Muskens from A10 the highest fees for state universities. The University of California Berkley, Los Angeles and San Diego campuses have had tuition increases between 40 and 43 per cent since 2009. Much of this tuition increase can be attributed to $750 million budget reduction imposed by the state government. The public university with the highest tuition is Penn State at $15,500 per year. Add in other costs
such as housing and students are looking at approximately $25,000 per year. Private colleges and universities tend to charge much more with the highest being Connecticut College, a private nonprofit institution where tuition is $43,990 per year. Regardless of whether tuition is $1 or $50,000 it will always be an issue for students, their families and the institutions that set these fees. It takes money to run a post-sec-
ondary institution, with the bulk if these costs going to salaries for instructors on top of the costs of maintaining a campus and all the associated services. In most countries, tuition barely covers these costs—in B.C. on average the tuition students pay covers about 27 per cent. Most of the rest is covered by government support— that means you and me, working Canadians. Jane Muskens is registrar at Okanagan College. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca
in a position of majority and their shortsightedness is invading the very fabric of Canada’s identity. Any party that can observe and prioritize long-term goals can also look into the short-term to see what needs to be taken care of immediately. The Conservative Party, with blinders firmly applied, cannot see anywhere beyond tomorrow. So any policies that, in any way, represent solutions to problems that will arise in the future are immediately dispatched without debate. It may not be readily apparent just yet, but the ramifications of the decisions we make today will ripple into the future and beyond. The budget bill is consolidating environmental policies, which really just means that Harper is taking away any power conservation
groups might have wielded beforehand. It is also changing Employment Insurance benefits that will greatly harm the Maritime provinces and therefore the rest of Canada. Finally, it is concealing and adding ambiguity to fundamental policies that will muddy restrictions on corporate interests and create loopholes for highpowered lawyers to plow through. The Conservative Party is enacting legislation, because of their majority, in spite of no discussion during the election. We have no one to blame but ourselves for what Canada will become if we continue to stand idly by and allow this to happen. Maria Tokarchuk, Kelowna

To the editor: There’s been another pipeline leak in Alberta. About 230,000 litres of black gold has spilled all over farmland near Elk Point, northeast of Edmonton. It’s the third dystopic gusher in a month. Crews are still working to clean up an 800,000 litre spill from a well owned by Pace Oil & Gas Ltd. close to the Northwest Territories border, and a spill of up to 480,000 litres from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline into the Red Deer River. The pipeline involved in the most recent spill belongs to Enbridge.

Two UBC alumni were recognized this week for their extraordinary contributions to both UBC and their communities. Catherine Comben, BA ’67, was presented with the Okanagan Alumni Community Builder award, which honours an outstanding Okanagan-based UBC alumnus who has made, and continues to make, a difference locally, regionally and globally, demonstrating UBC’s values and vision of civil society, sustainability and global responsibility. Laura Mandelbaum, BA ’08, was honoured with the Rising Star Award, given to graduates of the Okanagan campus who have shown themselves to be exceptional, bringing pride to the UBC community by applying their learning for the betterment of the world around them. “These two individuals are examples of how UBC prepares and encourages our students to go out and make a difference,” said Brenda Tournier, senior alumni engagement manager at UBCO. “Even more, these are people who show the value of working with and through UBC, long after graduation, to bring about positive change in the world.” Comben holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and is a current director of the UBC Alumni Association and chair of UBC’s Okanagan alumni chapter committee. She was awarded the City of Kelowna’s Citizen of the Year award in 1998 and was a Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal Recipient in 2002. “I have always believed that if each and every one of us would do just do one small thing for our communities, on a regular basis, our world would be so much better,” said Comben. Mandelbaum has a bachelor’s degree in international relations from UBC’s Okanagan campus and a master’s degree in medical anthropology from the University of Toronto, where she is now completing a Master of Public Policy degree. She works as a policy analyst for the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration. “Through research, I hope to inform and one day shape policies that recognize equity as a central determinant of health,” she said. “Being a UBC grad is central to that. The Okanagan campus helped me to grow into the person I am today and what I learned there, the mentoring I received from my professors, is with me now as I navigate graduate degrees and applied research positions. This award shows me that…UBC extends well beyond graduation.”

NEWS ▼ KELOWNA COMMUNITY THEATRE
Fifty years of seeing it live The Kelowna Community Theatre is turning 50 this September and Tuesday marked the start of the celebration. Mayor Walter Gray and guests gathered to tour the theatre and to talk about its history. They also shared the backstage excitement, drama and hard work that goes into putting on a show as crews from Beatlemania prepared for their evening performance. Since opening its doors on Sept. 13, 1962, the theatre has evolved from a small community theatre to become Kelowna’s professional presenting house in the heart of the Cultural District. For 50 years, local residents have been entertained and inspired by
their peers, first-class presenters and performers from around the world. “The theatre has been an important gathering place for the community since it opened,” said Sandra Kochan, city cultural services manager. “It’s the place where we come together to see our kids on stage, attend a special ceremony or applaud a star performance. “It’s often a starting point for a lifetime of arts experiences. Without this venue, much of Kelowna’s cultural development would not have been possible. It’s time to celebrate that history, and a bright future for artists and audiences alike.” There is an exciting line-up of entertainment during the theatre’s 50th
season, including a mix of local, national and international performers such as Fernando Varela, Michelle Wright, John Pinette and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. A Golden Anniversary Showcase event to celebrate the theatre’s anniversary will also be held on Sept. 13, making the Kelowna Community Theatre the place to be this year. “A lot of interesting and dynamic characters having been through our doors and this is the perfect opportunity to bring some of them back to help us celebrate this special milestone,” said Kochan. In addition, a retrospective on the history of the Kelowna Community Theatre is now featured in an evolving wall display

want to hear them.” A Facebook event page dedicated to the theatre’s 50th anniversary has been created and all stories are welcomed. In addition, people can also send their stories, photographs or even items directly to the Kelowna

The Downtown Kelowna Association will present the second Small Shop Saturday of 2012 this weekend. Downtown Kelowna recognizes that small businesses play a vital role in Kelowna’s local economy, not to mention provide jobs and preserve the downtown neighbourhood. As a result, the DKA has organized three downtown Kelowna Small Shop Saturdays to promote shopping local, supporting small businesses and the local economy, as well as raise awareness for downtown.

Clara (not her real name) tells me she worked as a secretary in a downtown Chicago office. She walked to work daily, likes cats and never married. “Spinster” is the term she used—a word seldom used now but commonly used in Clara’s day. Clara says she died in 1926, at the age of 63. Clara is one of eight earthbound spirits attached to a public building in downtown Kelowna and she was the first of three who chose to share their stories. What causes an earthbound spirit? Earthbound spirits are the souls of the deceased that haven’t crossed into the light or spirit realm. Clara remembers her passing, but like so many earthbound spirits, she chose to stay in the physical realm. But why? Clara’s reason was love. Clara tells me of a man who worked in her office building. She describes him as a quiet, dark-haired man, proper and polite, who wore round spectacles. She says she secretly loved him. She always expected that one day she would have the occasion or “gumption” (her word) to tell him, but she never found that perfect time and the opportunity slipped away. On her passing she chose to stay, hoping she could finally express what she felt all her physical life. Through remaining behind, Clara lost her chance to cross into the spirit realm and has remained to wander the earth since her passing in 1926. So how did a woman who lived and died in Chicago end up in Kelowna? Clara attached to this downtown building in 1963 because she liked the chime of the tall clock just outside of the building—at the intersection of Pandosy Street and Queensway. It reminded her of the clocks she heard in downtown Chicago. Her message to share—our regrets in life are what haunt us. Also roaming the corridors of this building is the spirit of a longtime Kelowna resident; a woman who passed away in 1979 at the age of 83. Born and raised in
and were able to resolve the land issue to her satisfaction. Included in this group is Hank, (not his real name) a school custodian who lived and worked in Kelowna. He died in 1988 at the age of 63. As an earthbound spirit, he likes the atmosphere of this public building, watching others quietly and invisibly—just like he did as a custodian. Raised with strong religious beliefs, he avoided crossing into the light in fear of judgement, a common issue for many earthbound spirits we encounter. These three earthbound spirits, plus the five others, are now peacefully crossed into the spirit realm.

Each week during the Pacific Coast Soccer League season Capital News freelance reporter Drew Pihlainen profiles a member of the 2012 Okanagan Challenge. Today, Joel Malouf Q: How did you get into soccer ? A: I actually started when I was around three years old. My family loves soccer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of our culture. I just learned it from my parents, from my brothers, my siblingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; everyone. Q: Do you follow the sport at all ? A: Absolutely. My favourite team is Manchester United. I also support the French National Team, ever since I watched World Cup 1998 and Euro 2000 when they won. My favourite player is Zinedine Zidane. Just watching him play drew me into the game. Q: You said that soccer was a tradition in your family; What advice from your family has helped guide you ? A: Well my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my biggest fan, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also my biggest critic. He took it very seriously, and he always tried to employ a

hardworking attitude with me and to always try my best. Q: Did you think of playing professionally ? A: Absolutelyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ever since I was younger, I always thought about playing pro. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of my dream. Q: What is the next step on that dream ? A: First I want to finish my college degree, and hopefully I get into a few combines (MLS scouting camps) and try to play in the MLS if I can. Q: What team would you like to play for in MLS ? A: Vancouver Whitecaps. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being far from home, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons I went to SFU. Q: Have you been to a Whitecaps game ? A: Yeah, during the school year in Vancouver. I know a few guys on the team, tooâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played
against them. Q: Do you get in on the chanting at the games ? A: You have toâ&#x20AC;ŚI love to get into the chant. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I get into the game and why I love the game. Q: Do you have any pre-game rituals ? A: I usually like to get a prayer in before I go to the game, it just keeps me calm, keeps me focused, I listen to a lot of musicâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; headphones in, so I can focus. Q: What has been your soccer highlight as a fan ? A: When France won the World Cup. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much my first soccer memory that I really remember vividly. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always stuck with me. I always get motivation from that to try to play better, to get better, and hopefully I can be there one day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long shot, but hopefully I can get there.

STAFF REPORTER
If there was a more fitting conclusion to the first annual Andre Blanleil Sr. Memorial Tournament, members of his family can’t conceive of what it could possibly be. Andre’s Athletics—a team featuring Andre Sr.’s sons and grandsons— earned a dramatic comefrom-beind victory over Vernon’s OK Merchants to capture the inaugural edition of the men’s fastball tourney Sunday at Kings Stadium. Rene Blanleil’s tworun double in the bottom of the seventh tied the score 5-5 to force an extra
inning. Then, after making a spectacular defensive play in the top of the eighth, tournament MVP Matt Crowell ended the game with a walk-off two run home run for a 7-5 Andre’s win. “It was pretty special, a cool way to end the tournament,” said Kyle Blanleil, a member of the Athletics, one of the tournament organizers and grandson of Andre Blanleil Sr. “We were down the whole game, so to come back and win was nice.” The Blanleil family put the event together this spring to honour the memory of Andre Sr. on Father’s Day weekend.
He passed away last November after a battle with cancer. Blanleil played fastball locally as a pitcher in the 1960s, then played alongside his three sons in the late 1970s. His sons, Andre Jr., Rene and Maurice, and his grandsons, Kyle, Chad and Travis all play with Andre’s Athletics. As for the response from the local fastball community, Kyle Blanleil couldn’t have been happier. “It was awesome, everyone I talked to said they really enjoyed it,” Blanleil added. “I think that’s the most fans we’ve seen come through the

Penticton hosts volleyball next Saturday on Skaha Lake beach Many of the Okanagan’s top young beach players took to Hot Sands Beach at City Park last Saturday for Volleyball B.C.’s Sand Series No. 1. In the 14/15U girls division, Kelowna’s Quinci Birker and Kyra Cabral took the gold after defeating Gemma Davies from Kelowna and Tanner
Loerenson of Vernon in the final (21-16, 21-11). Smart placement of shots from Quinci and Kyra made them unstoppable. Mckenzie Kreeft of Vernon and Alexa Eger of Kelowna teamed up to take third place against Sydney Nielsen and Rachelle Duckworth from Kamloops.
The 16/17U girls division saw Sarah Roberts of Kelowna, and Kaelyn Parmelee of Vernon take down Jenna Ratzlaff and Erin Drew of Kelowna in a close gold medal game (21-8, 15-21, 17-15). The defensive tenacity of Sarah and Kaelyn helped them to victory. The bronze medal went to Sara Berthelsen
and Kaylie Loewen of Penticton. On the boys side, Matt McLellan and Greg Howe of West Kelowna took first place in the 20U division against Dane Smit and Isaac Smit of Kelowna (21-17, 22-20). Dane and Isaac held their own, but came up short against the two beach veterans, Matt and
Greg. In the bronze medal game Liam Duncan and Dylan Draper both from Kelowna, took down Logan Mend and Blair Anderson from Penticton. This Saturday, June 23 is the Volleyball BC Penticton Open at Skaha Beach in Penticton. Teams can register online at www.volleyballbc.org.
THE PERFECT FATHER
I really like father’s day because I am not sure that the “Fathers” in our lives really know the impact they have on us. I think it is easier to share with women the thanks for being moms. As a daughter I find that I can tell my mother thank you quite readily for being my mother. She gave me life. For nine months she carried me and since the test said positive I know that she has put all of my needs above her own. And I can thank her and tell her that in normal everyday conversations. But I think it is harder with fathers. I have long considered myself a Daddy’s girl. Sometimes I am closer to my father than others but for the majority of my life I have shared more interests with my dad than with my mom. But I don’t think I have ever shared fully with my Father what it is he really means to me. I shy away from the heart to heart and I don’t know why. It might be because men in our society are supposed to be macho and less into the emotional heart to heart, or many other reasons, all I know is that there are so many things that I could say thank you for that I haven’t yet. Over the years my dad has taught me a lot of things. He has taught me more about being a pastor than most of what I learned in Seminary. He taught me how to fish and camp, how to make a fort in the woods with only twine and logs. My Dad taught me how to manage my money and how to work a computer, he encouraged my rugby playing and did the proper dad thing when my husband asked to marry me. The list goes on and on, but what I carry with me the most is how my Dad taught me to love the Lord and to trust in my Heavenly
father for all the things that I would need and because of that I am deeply blessed. I know that not everyone has good experiences with their fathers. Humans are sinful and sometimes the fathers we know and have, are not worth celebrating and so these days that are set aside to love and celebrate can be more frustrating than not. In the spirit of helpfulness some Christians have minimized the use of God the Father. They have turned to Mother God, or never using any male pronouns for God. In this way they hope to make people who have issues with fathers more comfortable. But I think they are going about it all wrong. We don’t stop celebrating father’s day just because there are some bad dad’s in the world, and we certainly don’t change scripture because of it. In Matthew when the disciples ask Jesus how to pray, he doesn’t say, mother God, or just God in his address, He says, “Pray in this way.” Our Heavenly Father.” Father’s are important. Notice Jesus doesn’t say, pray to my heavenly Father, he says “Ours” God knows that humans are sinful, that we don’t always act as we should; Jesus gave us the ultimate father figure. He shows us that Fathers are important and that being a good Father is a high calling from God. God the Father takes that role, Jesus shows us God as a father not because he is insensitive or sexist or of that culture, He shows us a father because we need fathers in our lives, and whether the human father we are given turns out to be good or bad, we can always go to our Heavenly Father to listen to us and provide for us. The perfect father gives fully of himself in all things, he loves and cherishes his children and puts the whole of humanity above one. In Galatians 2 Paul says this, “For through the law, I died to the law so that I might live for God. I
have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.” This is the most amazing gift that we are given. We deserve death for our sins and yet the father loves you and me so much that he found another way. The father is vital in our faith. He is everything to us because of what he provides for us through Jesus Christ. This is the example that we can give to men in our community, this is why it is important that we thank and honor those who do their best to be good fathers, this is why it is important that we thank them and encourage them in faith and in their vocations as role models, they are the earthly image of God our Father who loves us perfectly, You fathers, and fathers to be are guides and images who have the ability to greatly impact the faith of those around you. It is a mighty burden, but even more than that it is a great privilege. I am thankful everyday that my Father reflected that image in my life, so that my faith could grow, may you all today take on that role and know that you are special, that you are loved and that you are held by the Father… In His Grip, Pastor Karen Seifert

Royal Cup playoff results Mini Cup battle The following are the results from the third round of the Royal Cup men’s soccer playoffs: • Euro FC defeated Attitude 7-1. Brandon McLeod scored a hat-trick, Alex MacNaul and TimWalsh scored two each. Dave Trifunov scored the only goal for Attitude FC. • Invisi-Bulls over Baxters 3-2. On a very windy Father’s Day, the much older Baxter’s division 3A team played Invisibulls. Baxter’s opened the scoring mid-way through the first half on a penalty kick from Axel Chinyanta. Late in the
half, Invisibulls Adam Schwarz responded with two. Early in the second, Baxter’s Andrew Wedderburn shot was carried by the wind past a surprised Bulls goaltender. With five minutes left in the third, Invisibulls scored the game winner to advance to the next round. • Yolo FC beat LC Athletic FC 6-4. Spencer Brown scored twice while Yolo MVP Taylor Turik, set up three goals. • Subcity/Executive Flooring shutout Gunners FC 7-0. Damir Vodopic scored three goals, while
Bostijan Brokovic added two in the win. • Iris Optometry Wave FC downed LCSC Old Milwaukees 4-1. Nic Race slipped one in the bottom corner early in the first half for Wave. LCSC scored on a partial breakaway about 15 minutes later before Iris finished it off with another three goals. • FBFC beat the Warthogs 2-0. • Lifeworks Chiropractic vs Internazionale, and Topline Selections against NC Lakers had their games postponed until June 24.
Challenge alumni get together Falcons from A24
CHALLENGE ALUMNI… The Okanagan Challenge will host their annual alumni game, the Tasker Cup, on Sunday at the Apple Bowl. Game time is 2 p.m. The current Challenge team will take on mem-
bers of past Okanagan PCSL teams. A special guest attending the game will be Ian Bridge, a former member of the Challenge, former national team coach and a World Cup competitor. Tickets are $6 for adults, $3 for students seven to 17, and children
under six are admitted free. Any players of the Central Okanagan Youth Soccer district who come to the game wearing their team jersey get in free. After the Tasker Cup, there is a dinner and silent auction at Dakoda’s Sports Bar and Grill. Tickets are $20.
The spotlight was on the Okanagan’s youngest soccer players on Sunday as the Rutland Youth Soccer Association hosted its annual Mini World Cup tournament. Close to 600 players on 48 teams from Kelowna and area, Vernon and Kamloops competed in the day-long event at Rutland sports fields which featured the U6 to U10 age groups. The teams each chose a country to represent during the tournament, with Canada being the most represented of all nations. Among 21 other countries represented were Italy, Germany, Croatia, Portugal, the Netherlands, USA, Brazil and Argentina. The tournament has been running since the mid-1990s and gives local youngsters their day in the sun. “There’s no other tournvament around here like it,” said Sheri Corrie, the organizer of the Mini World Cup. “It’s the one day a year the younger
kids can play and get out there an enjoy themselves, and have their own event. A lot of people I talked to said what a good time they had and how they wish there were more tournaments like it.” No scores were kept and all players received a miniature World Cup trophy. There was also a parade of all the players at noon, with the various anthems of the countries being played during the procession. Next up on the local soccer scene is the Kelowna Canada Day Youth Soccer Tournament, which will be held over the long weekend at Rutland, the Mission, RSS, Rutland middle and Rutland elementary schools. This year’s tourney— the eighth annual—will be the largest yet with 130 teams from B.C., Alberta and the Yukon competing in the U11 to U18 age groups. Medals will be handed out to the top three teams in each category.

Successful athletes tout benefits of local training centre Charlie Hodge CONTRIBUTOR
Word gets around when a sports training facility gets recognized as one of the best on the continentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not necessarily by the players. Danny Watkins, the pride of West Kelowna and an offensive lineman with the NFL Philadelphia Eagles, says many
pro athletes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very willing to divulge to each other where they train. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Athletes tend to be pretty competitive and any edge we can get helps. So a lot of us arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too quick to tell others about something like that,â&#x20AC;? he said during a press conference at Pinnacle Elite Athlete on Monday at the Capital News Centre in Kelowna. The press conference
was held to acknowledge the success and the tremendous number of excellent athletes that use the highly regarded facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard about Pinnacle through word of mouth and also by living in the area,â&#x20AC;? Watkins added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was always good at getting banged up and had to have a lot of rehab, which turned into training for me. INFORMATION FEATURE

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to California, Texas, Arizona, and other facilities but it was not as good as here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Pinnacle, they tend to isolate what I need to do for what I need in the way of efficiency at the time. I guess I have been coming here before it was even here. I started when Pinnacle was in Westbank.â&#x20AC;? Nashville Predator star Shea Weber also knew Pinnacle from his time spent in Kelowna as
a member of the Kelowna Rockets, saying he simply never stopped coming back for training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started working here in juniors and, sure, I get the NHL program and work on my own a lot, but here they helped me with a modified program for me,â&#x20AC;?

Steps to take in combatting plantar fasciitis on your feet P
lantar fasciitis is the most common foot problem I see as a certified pedorthist. I typically see a spike in the number of patients with this painful condition in the late spring or early summer. So what is plantar fasciitis? It’s a thick fibrous band on the bottom of the foot that attaches on the inside of the heel and runs to the base of the toes. Patients usually complain of intense medial heel pain that feels like they’ve stepped on a nail. t Occasionally, the fascia can be painful in the middle of the arch with a “ripping” pain. Symptoms with both types are usually more intense first thing in the morning. There are many causes of plantar fasciitis. Because the fascia is very inelastic, a person is
KEEPING YOU MOVING
Sean MacMillan more likely to strain the plantar fascia if they have a very high arch or a very low arch. People with arthritic greater toe joints or bunions are also predisposed. A restriction of toe movement interferes with a natural pulley system in the foot, called the windlass mechanism. That causes an increase in plantar fascia tension. Other contributing factors include a sudden increase in activity, tight calf muscles, improper footwear or increase in body weight.
FUTURE SHOP Correction Notice
Certain occupations that involve a lot of standing are also more likely to have plantar fasciitis. I frequently see nurses, teachers, chefs, mechanics and construction workers for this problem. The common factor is long hours of walking or standing on concrete floors. Early treatment of symptoms is important. The longer a person has plantar fasciitis, the harder it is to get rid of it. Properly fitting footwear with a
forefoot rocker is the first place to start. I recommend running shoes or trail running shoes to best reduce pain. Wearing shoes at all times, especially around the house, is essential to reduce discomfort. I also recommend a series of calf stretches, daily arch massage and physiotherapy. On June 21, 2011, a study performed by Dr. Reed Ferber and Brittany Benson at the University of Calgary was published
in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research. The study showed that 17 out of 20 subjects had a 34 per cent reduction in plantar fascia strain using a sole over the counter insole. In the past, custom and off-the-shelf orthotics were only prescribed in instances of significant deformity or extreme pronated (rolling in) or supinated (rolling out) foot types. This study suggests that orthotic therapy can

ENVIRONMENT FESTIVAL…Volunteer Lee Hicks helps a group of students assemble birdhouses at the Okanagan College campus in Kelowna, site of the Nature Trust of B.C. Wild Festival forYouth held on June 14. The final results of the birdhouse workshop by the participants were put on display. This was a unique opportunity for the youth festival, celebrating its 14th anniversary in 2012, which has become a celebrated event in Kelowna and is a symbol of our community’s commitment to a sustainable future. Former city mayor Sharon Shepherd, honourary chairperson and committee member since 1999, sums up the festival, saying: “The Wild Festival forYouth delivers a very timely and critical message to the youth of our community about the importance of sustainability and caring for nature. I am proud that it is a part of our community.”

EECO adjusts operating hours
The Environmental Education Centre for the Okanagan is adjusting its operating hours for the summer and fall. Starting this week, the regional district environmental interpretive centre in Mission Creek Regional Park will be open Tuesday through Friday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., as well as Saturday and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. “The later morning opening and later evening closing provides more flexibility for visitors to the interpretive facility during the upcoming busy summer months,” said regional district communications officer Bruce Smith. “These hours will continue until Sunday, Oct. 21.” Last year more than 32,000 visitors stopped into the EECO to view its hands-on displays. The current Hunters in the Sky exhibit runs until mid-July. In August, the annual kokanee exhibit will take centre stage in the EECO.

like for someone who is suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). With OCD, the caudate nucleus in the brain, which acts like a manual gear shift allowing us to move from one thought to the next, is not working functionally. The thought gets triggered, followed by the feelings of fear or anxiety, followed by behaviours to try to decrease the anxiety. But regardless of how many times a person with OCD performs the behaviour to stop the anxiety, the thought does not stop, and the anxiety is only slightly reduced temporarily. In an attempt to decrease anxiety more, the behaviour becomes obsessive. Take as an example the simple act of washing your hands. A normal thought and behaviour is to wash your hands after you go to the washroom. For the person with OCD, they never feel like their hands are clean because the brain gets stuck in the thought of “germs can make me sick.” The brain does not move forward to the next logical thought of now that I have washed my hands, I do not have germs anymore. What happens instead is a person with OCD gets stuck in the feeling of being contaminated with germs and because of this will try to alleviate the feeling by continuously washing their hands, even to the point where they scrub their hands until they are bleeding. But what an OCD sufferer often fails to realize is that every time they engage in the ritual of obsessive hand washing, they are actually strengthening the pathological neural circuit in the brain that is causing the problem to begin with. Their brain is stuck in a rut, or it’s simply having a hiccup and continuing to wash their hands makes that stuck groove even deeper—like an old record with a deep skip in it, they unconsciously repeat

the same thought over and over again. A good example of this is reflected in the movie The Aviator, based on the life of Howard Hughes. Hughes was one of the wealthiest people in the world, a renowned inventor, successful businessman and philanthropist who also suffered from OCD. Leonardo DiCaprio portrayed Hughes in the movie. DiCaprio did such a such a great job of method acting to identify himself with the Hughes character that he actually developed a transient case of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He studied the nuances and traits of OCD so well that he changed the structure and function of his own brain through repeated practice. In fact, it took him months after finishing the film to retrain his brain to work functionally again. So it is possible to retrain the brain, or rewire the neural circuits that are not working functionally with OCD? According to Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz, yes you can. Dr. Schwartz is a renowned neuroscientist and author of many books on the subject. Through functional brain imaging and a specific form of cognitive behavioural therapy, Dr. Schwartz has proven that through our conscious awareness and volition to change our thoughts and behaviours, we can change our brain structure and function. In the words of Dr. Schwartz, “Don’t believe everything you think.” Your brain could indeed be in a hiccup. Annie Hopper is a limbic system rehabilitation specialist. www.dnrsystem.com

Washboard Union brings country to town on Canada Day
Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
With June shaping up to be one of the soggiest in memory, Kelowna’s Canada Day celebration offers one of the most apropos headliners yet—a down-home act that isn’t afraid to get wet. A week before their debut album release at Vancouver’s creative hub The Waldorf Hotel, bluegrass septet The Washboard Union will take to Waterfront Park’s Island Stage to show off the music that’s got the country community in a lather. “We all grew up through rock and punk and hip hop, but we’ve got a big love of these songs from way, way back,” said vocalist and banjo player Chris Duncombe, who serves as Global Television’s morning news music correspondent in Vancouver and manages the city’s Classic Rock 101 and 99.3 The Fox radio stations. As old hat as this music may be for Duncombe and his brother,

THE WASHBOARD UNION with Chris Duncombe (third from left) perform in Kelowna on Waterfront Park’s Island Stage on Canada Day. Aaron Grain, watching the pair play and hang out in the area should feel like well-trodden territory for many friends and family in the audience as well. The brothers grew up on the Westside, Duncombe attending Lakeview Elementary and Grain going to Glenrosa Elementary. Our area’s dusty hills are the stomping grounds Duncombe refers to as he recalls listening to Johnny Cash’s drawl and Ralph Stanley’s banjo as a kid; and he knows there’s a little bit of country in our area beaches—as in most Canadian hometown haunts for that matter.
“We’ll Gibsons. pull out The one of project is those songs his first and there’s country alpeople in bum, and WE ALL GREW UP THROUGH ROCK AND PUNK the audihe wasn’t AND HIP HOP, BUT WE’VE GOT A BIG LOVE OF ence that the only THESE SONGS FROM WAY, WAY BACK. are 25 and big name Chris Duncombe don’t realproducer ize why in the mix. they know The sinthe song, gle Half Odds introduce them to they just know Cree also saw Garth Richardson—proit,” he said.

‘‘
vocalists, banjo, mandolin, dojo (a banjo/guitar), harp, guitar, fiddle, drums and that washboard spark a united sound, passing the melody along from musician to musician in breakdowns built on pure energy. “This is a one-ofa-kind live show,” said Duncombe. “It’s Canada’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Or Old Crow Medicine Show meets Steve Earle, one might say. Either way, their festival tour, which will hit Victoria’s Rifflandia, Live at Squamish and the Golden Spike Festival along the way, should find the surrounding commun-
ities checking seismometers for earthquakes after several rousing rounds of foot-stomping. The Washboard Union includes Duncombe on banjo, dojo and vocals; Aaron Grain on guitar and vocals; David Roberts on harmonica, the washboard and vocals; Dougal McLean on fiddle and mandolin; Matt Van Dyke on drums; Scott Paulley on bass; and Craig MacCaul on the electric guitar. According to a note on their YouTube channel, the whole effort got started with the purchase of a Willie Nelson cassette in, of all places, the Falkland General Store. As Falkland is home to the largest Canadian flag in Western Canada, perched over the town on Gyp Mountain, it’s safe to say seeing the band play live will be as easy as flying the Canadian flag on Canada Day. The group takes the stage in Kelowna’s Waterfront Park at 9 p.m. on Canada Day. Admission is by donation. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

1 pound asparagus snapped into pieces 1 clove garlic 1/4 cup pine nuts 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil salt freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil Boil asparagus in salted water until just done.
Drain and let cool. Into your Thermomix or food processor, add the asparagus, garlic, pine nuts, two tbsp oil, parmesan cheese, a shake of salt and a ground of pepper. Whizz for a couple of seconds— pause to scrape down sides and add lemon— then whizz again. Season with more salt and pepper or lemon to taste and scrape into bowl. Stir in chopped basil. Will last a couple of days in the fridge but its brilliant green colour will change so best to use it right away tossed with a big bowl of hot rotini pasta or the pasta of your choice. Mangia.

CHRIS BOTTI performs an outdoor concert Sunday evening at the Mission Hill winery.
Music on the Hill Trumpeter Chris Botti opens The Mission Hill Family Estate Summer Concert Series this Sunday, June 24. The multi-Grammy award winning jazz artist is set to perform at the winery’s spectacular outdoor amphitheatre. Botti and his band have performed with many of the finest symphonies at some of the world’s most prestigious venues. Since the release in 2004 of his critically acclaimed CD When I Fall in Love, Botti has become America’s largest selling jazz instrumentalist. His success has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop music. He has recorded and performed with the best in music including Sting, Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, John Mayer, Andrea Bocelli and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. The intimate concert at Mission Hill Family Estate marks Botti’s first concert in Okanagan wine country. An artist normally reserved for much larger venues, the small capacity amphitheatre provides a rare treat. “The spectacular outdoor amphitheatre at Mission Hill Family Estate provides a unique opportunity to enjoy live performances in an unrivaled setting,” said proprietor Anthony von Mandl. “We are delighted to welcome Chris Botti to the winery this summer.” Tickets are available online from selectyourtickets. com, beginning at $89.50 each or add to your experience with a dinner and concert package. 250-762-5050.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ NATURE-BASED ART
Wentworth Children connect with nature through art Music stages musical battle Call it the battle of the bands that steps back into the music history of the 1980s. Regardless of the title, the 13th annual tribute concert by the Wentworth Music School students on Saturday, June 30, co-sponsored by Interior Savings Credit Union, will be an 18-song trip down memory lane for aging baby boomers. The Wentworth students will perform the music of Journey and U2 for the charity fundraiser show to benefit the Kelowna General Hospital children’s ward. Wentworth Music has raised some $62,000 in total from these previous charity concerts to help kids do what the students love the most—play music. The students, ranging in age from as young as 9 to their early 20s, are divided up into separate groups of anywhere from seven to 13 musicians,depending on the music and singing complexities of the selected tunes, and will have spent weeks learning their set songs in preparation for the concert. “It’s fun to do for the kids because they are learning how to play songs that they may not be familiar with when listening to music at home,” said Noel Wentworth, vice-president of education at Wentworth Music. After staging many of these shows, Wentworth said organizing to revolve a new band on stage after every few songs has become more of a routine. “It takes a team of about 15 people, with the lighting and sound and all that, to put the show on, and we have help backstage to keep the kids lined up ready to go when it’s their turn,” Wentworth said. “We want to make these shows something people will talk about years down the road. The fact that we have the chance to give back to the community by providing this opportunity for our students is just icing on the cake.” The concert takes place June 30 at Kelowna Community Theatre. Tickets are $15/adults, $8/students available from Wentworth Music. For more information check out the website www.wmec.ca.
Okanagan children’s author and illustrator, Marghanita Hughes has extended her nature-based art classes this year, offering local children the opportunity to connect with nature in three new locations. Hughes, and co-worker Christine Collins, will host classes in the following locations: • The Old Meadows Farm location owned by Jim Wood will give participating children the opportunity to witness crops growing and taste food grown on the land where they are playing and being creative. • The Waldorf school grounds location is an ideal place to inspire creativity. From the school in the Okanagan Mission, participants will branch out on nature walks to the beach nearby. • The garden setting
at Hughes’ home in West Kelowna, near Quails’ Gate Winery. The classes are all about actively engaging children in nature and nurturing each child’s creative intelligence. Unstructured free play in nature is also part of the class as both Hughes and Collins are passionate about nurturing the “whole” child. Richard Louv’s book Last Child in the Woods prompted Hughes to start up her nature classes three years ago. A resource book, to be launched Aug. 20, documents the success of the classes. “When children and nature mix, something magical happens. All children deserve the opportunity to experience the magic, awe and beauty of our natural world,” Louv wrote.

Dear Premier Clark, May we take this opportunity to thank you for your decision to implement a 10-point strategy to stop bullying in our schools? As teachers we have struggled always, to overcome bullying, and welcome the new provincially coordinated and funded initiative known as ERASE. May we also take this opportunity to ask you to consider this deÀnition from Public Safety Canada re: bullying and ask that you consider our bargaining efforts in relation to this deÀnition. 1. “An imbalance of power … is manifest through aggressive actions;” • Legislation that strips teachers’ agreements and democratic rights, • Bills 27 and 28 stripped all protective language related to class size and class composition, • B.C. Supreme Court ruling on these bills completely ignored, • Bill 22, an even more aggressive stance to limit teachers’ right to full, free collective bargaining - a most regressive and punitive piece of legislation. 2. “Negative interactions occur that are direct, or indirect;” • Minister Abbott announced in March 2011, that this round too would end with a legislated agreement. • Press releases, media publications, public and talk show appearances as well as comments in the Legislature have been demeaning and derisive toward teacher efforts to bargain. The consistent message is the need to legislate our agreements. 3. “Negative actions are taken with an intention to harm;” • Numerous employer complaints to the LRB – all dismissed in part or in whole. • Determined efforts to undermine public conÀdence in our service to the students. 4. “The negative actions are repeated. Either the intensity or the duration of the actions establishes the bully’s dominance over the victim;” • Government intervention in our bargaining by successive governments, • Numerous legislated restrictions on our legal rights, • Numerous legislated decisions on our working rights, • Sustained attacks on the efÀcacy of our bargaining agenda. On May 26, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation called upon you, Premier Clark, to intervene directly and help resolve the current round of bargaining. One week later they wrote again seeking your help to achieve a negotiated settlement. To date your only response has been silence. Teachers in the Central Okanagan also ask that you step beyond the rhetoric, the long history of distrust, and prove yourself a leader who seeks resolutions in a fair and respectful manner. We ask that your leadership demonstrate the full potential of your proposed ERASE program with the very people you are counting on to make it a reality. Sincerely, Alice Rees President, Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association

On a rainy Saturday last weekend, West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation volunteers roamed the roadsides of the community, cleaning up litter and garbage. The event marked the beginning of this year’s Communities in Bloom competition joint entry by the District of West Kelowna and WFN. Some 65 volunteers took part in the clean-up effort and, after the hard work, were treated to a barbecue at the Westbank Lions Hall sponsored by CIBC with the Lions Club cooking. Members of the SunRidge, Potter’s House, Westside Alliance and Powers Creek churches as well as some people from Paynter’s Market cleaned areas throughout the community. On Friday, June 15, members of the Liquid Lightening Swim Club cleaned around JohnsonBentley Memorial Aquatic Centre and members of Emmanuel Church cleaned two areas last Wednesday and Thursday. The effort is in line with the principles of the Communities in Bloom competition which evaluates a community on tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape, turf and ground covers, floral displays and community involvement. Judging in another Communities In Bloom endeavour, The Most Beautiful Contest, was held on Wednesday, as local residents had the opportunity to put their gardening and yard maintenance skills to the test For more information about the Communities In Bloom campaign, visit communitiesinbloom. ca or districtofwestkelowna.ca.

Click next on “Judgments,” then “Recent Judgments,” and scroll to June 15, 2012, where the decision is listed as Carter v. Canada (Attorney General). If you have any difficulty accessing the judgment, email me and I’ll gladly send you a copy. I am not going to summarize the decision in this column. The 395-page ruling has had lots of media coverage. I became interested in the issue of assisted suicide through Gloria Taylor, a West Kelowna resident who is one of the successful plaintiffs in the lawsuit. At Gloria’s suggestion, I attended a debate in April 2012, hosted by the Centre for Inquiry Okanagan and very ably moderated by CBC Daybreak host Chris Walker. I learned that there are good arguments for pro-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott hibiting assisted suicide. But the more I learned about Taylor’s fatal neurodegenerative disease, ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, the more I was convinced that this particular woman, and those similarly afflicted, absolutely must be permitted to arrange a merciful end to their lives when life becomes unbearable, and the person suffering has become too weak to bring about an end to the suffering themselves. I became angry that Gloria had to bring a lawsuit against the federal government, challenging the constitutionality of the Criminal Code’s absolute prohibition against assisted suicide. It was of-
fensive to me that the federal government would not pro-actively step up to carefully consider what could be done to change the Criminal Code so as to provide for an exception for citizens like Gloria Taylor. In my view, it was another of many examples of politics getting in the way of what is right. Tough issues like this are dangerous for our political leaders to take on. We now have the Supreme Court of British Columbia declaring the absolute prohibition against assisted suicide in the Criminal Code illegal, because it runs contrary to our rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The federal government is now faced with an important choice. One option is to appeal the decision to the British Columbia Court of Appeal, and then when they lose again to appeal to the Supreme Court of
Canada, ensuring that the legal point of the constitutionality of a dated Criminal Code provision is litigated to death. Another option is to do what they should have done in the first place, which is to lead the country in carefully considering and crafting public policy in such a way that Gloria Taylor, and those like her, are permitted a way to end their suffering when they become too weak to do so themselves while protecting the most vulnerable among us from abuses that could flow from unrestricted assisted suicide. Please choose the right option. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca
Library gearing up for summer reading Summer vacation is almost here, and it’s a time when school-aged children can fall victim to the dreaded “summer slide” by losing part of the literacy skills they’ve learned over the year. The Okanagan Regional Library branches are ready to help combat this trend in a couple of ways—through customized booklists and the
annual summer reading club. The reading club is a tradition throughout libraries in B.C., reaching over 85,000 students, and made possible thanks to sponsorship from the B.C. Library Association and the B.C. Ministry of Education, and with help from local Friends of the Library groups. This year’s Summer Reading Club
theme is “Strange…but True?” encouraging students to explore myths, monsters, and mysteries of science. Each of the ORL’s 29 branches will be holding a multitude of special activities, events and contests. Registration is free. Visit the webpage of your local branch at www.orl.bc.ca/ branches to find out more about these activities.
ORL librarians are also ready to help them discover new reads by creating customized booklists for children. Simply visit www.orl. bc.ca/kids/booklist, and fill in information about interests and favourite reads. Within a week, a customized booklist will be sent with five suggested titles to read over the summer.
Five minute idling window for district vehicles Idling from B7 have any effect on the public’s vehicle idling habits; rather just staff members of the district.
Operators of District of West Kelowna vehicles must ensure that their vehicles are not idling for more than five minutes unless they are stopped in
traffic, using their vehicle for an operational activity, or if extreme temperatures require the vehicle’s heat or air-conditioning for the wellbeing of passengers.
The policy was adopted with a vote of four to three. wpaterson@kelownacapnews. com

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection June 2012 Que Sera Sera
Memoirs of Mount Boucherie
A cage A stage A cage A stage A place reticently aged “Que sera sera”
It’s hard to sum up what my high school experience at Mount Boucherie has been over these past few years. Few words are capable of describing the capacity of fond memories and true friendship I’ve experienced. Mount Boucherie is more than just a high school, it’s a place where students feel safe and welcomed, and are able to plan their future while enjoying the present. My most fond memories of the school would be all the amazing grad events the school puts together such as winter formal, grad breakfast and the Grand March. I’ve also enjoyed partaking in the vast variety of clubs Mount Boucherie offers, like Grad Council, Global Service and journalism. The most important lessons I’ve learned from these past few years is to be confident and happy with yourself, and not to let yourself be concerned with petty drama. One highlight all students agree upon about the school is the amazing staff. Almost every teacher is more than willing to go above and beyond to help a student, and have truly helped shape hundreds of kids lives. They are all amazing people, who help make Mount Boucherie such an amazing school. I wouldn’t change my past 3 years for the world, and I’m grateful for the amazing education, friends, and memories that Mount Boucherie has provided me. NICOLE NAIRISMAGI
Where one performs The other transforms But, “Que sera sera” Wisdom obtained Memories retained The future seems far detained But let it remain: “Que sera sera” Say hello Say good-bye leave the cage depart from stage “Que sera sera” Elicit emotions yet to be told The future is yours to behold Remember though, the wisdom of old “Que sera sera” ARYN USHER
Do you remember? Do you remember the days when weeks passed by like years, And the dark and the big kids were your biggest fears? And how sleeping in was never on your list of things to do, Hell, you didn’t even have a list of things to do; You had nothing to prove, No truths to prove true, no souls to fool Into thinking you were even more than cool. Back when you had no rules, no limits, No understanding of the world and what’s in it, Of what is permitted, What’s happening? What’s going on? Suddenly the world feels so small, In that my dreams, my hopes, my wills, Now appear to be far too vast to fulfill. But wait a minute, don’t you recall? Just yesterday every thought being a pawn, All in a brawl, fighting to be your dream today? But hey, you can’t stay, you’ve got to move away; Spread your wings and fly - goodbye! Soar high. But what if I’m not ready? What if my balance isn’t steady, What if I miss my house, my home, my city? Who’s to help me all alone, God? And if my faith proves to be fraud, What am I to do? Cry and pray it through? Or how about looking back, learning from myself, A younger version, in yet faithful and sure of herself. She didn’t fret, she didn’t dread the thought of growing up. Rough as it seems...tough? Maybe. But being fearless was on her mind. She had her joys, her dreams, her happiness, All effortlessly assembled together. Do you remember, those days? TAYLOR CHARRON

Time Capsule 2011/2012 Reflections The mirrors reflect everything in the room, The floors are unscathed by street shoes. Through spring, winter, and fall everything remains the same, It is a place of work and concentration. Mistakes and movements come into play, Music is flying around through the air. People fly across the room in leaps & turns, The room is not biased as to what kind. On Monday it is tired, On Thursday full of thrill. It works every day of the week, To give its inhabitants practice. Smiles and laughter and grace, Everyone is friends there, Dancing is a lifetime joy, Common to everyone far and near.

Life lesson Amid the personal struggle of determining whether or not to conform and give in to peer pressure, it is important that one develops a strong sense of self in the process. Honesty is one of the main qualities that students in high school choose to either value or abandon. With the numerous dishonest opportunities that become available, it is easy for one to forget where their morals and values lie. Moreover, the greatest lesson that I will take forward from my time in grade school is that honesty is always the best policy. My ability to defend myself back then has shaped who I am today. Fighting against peer pressure enabled me to assert myself as an independent human being who deserves respect and support. As life has progressed and will progress, I have and will encounter many different forms of peer pressure but because my will to deal with it was cultivated at a young age I will be able to move forward with integrity. I have learned that the truth is always the smartest decision and it is certainly the greatest lesson I will take forward with me from my time in high school. KELLY TAVERNER
Would you walk giant steps with me? Would take your bright sized life? Or would you stay still, and hide your eyes from the long miles? You have reached the doors you must soon uncover. And found your freedom to dance, and your chance to stand. Let your bird sing and make me dizzy. Walk giant steps with me. COREY ST. PIERRE
Some simple guidelines for new visitors to Mount Boucherie In the hallways, you stay on the right side or die. * If you see someone with a backpack, be sure to stay clear. * Be nice to the kids at the culinary program. Remember they’re making your food. * In the front entrance of Mount Boucherie there is a majestic bear statue at the intersection of the two busiest hallways. If you care for your life, do not eat your lunch at the bear statue. * Don’t make fun of how small the grade 10’s are, you were that size once. * Do not laugh at Mr. Kirkey’s jokes... you’re only encouraging him. * Mr. Tonsaker loves to give nicknames. Get on his good side quick before he gives you a bad one. * Take Law 12, you’ll thank me later. * If you ever decide to climb the towering mountain behind the school, pick a good path to go up. You don’t want to have to be helicoptered off. * Try to make high-school a great experience for everyone, some people aren’t as lucky as you. * Enjoy your moments at Mount Boucherie, they go by fast and seem unimportant at the time, but you will miss it everyday for the rest of your life. RAYMON SANDHU
Happiness can be found in unlikely circumstances Society, and more specifically Hollywood, makes high school seem like the best time of your life, where you have the best friends, have more fun than you will ever have again, and wish it could last forever. From my experience, this is all a charade made up to keep the teenage masses from revolting. In reality, my first year of high school was the worst year of my life. Grade 10 didn’t start out as bad as one might think; in fact, it was pretty idyllic for the first semester. I did have the best friends and enjoyed school more than I ever had; however, when semester two rolled around, everything changed. The people, with one person in particular, who I thought loved me more than any friend I had ever had, abandoned me. The switch was so sudden that I was completely blind sided; one day I could count on my best friend being excited to see me in the morning and waiting by my locker between every class, and the next I found myself wandering the hall alone, doing “loser laps”, with not one friendly face in sight. If I ever did find someone that I still held as a friend, I felt shut out, eternally out of the loop and struggling to force my way into conversation. I was often left by myself when only days before I was at the center of my circle of so called friends. Days grew into weeks, which stretched into months and I still couldn’t answer myself the one question that haunted me, what had I done? I didn’t realize until about a year later how concerned my mom had become for me. When I couldn’t find someone to be with at lunch or break, I would find someplace by myself and text my mom about how much I hated being there and how alone I felt. Having always loved school, everything I was experiencing was completely new. Never before had I wanted to stay home because I didn’t want to go to my classes. Never in my life had I considered skipping. Crying myself to sleep every night, I still didn’t blame anyone but myself for becoming so isolated. Eventually I remembered a lesson on relationships from a middle school homeroom class. I still cringe at the juvenility of this, but I have yet to find a better way to explain how I felt. Relationships are like bank accounts; they require deposits and withdrawals to balance. My “friends” had taken too many withdrawals from my kindness and caring towards them, and I had deposited far too much effort into trying to make them like me again. I was empty. Really, I was probably in more of an overdraft situation. Then I found someone willing to deposit into my bank account again without expecting anything in return. She was a girl no one had wanted to include in my old group of friends, and yet had never given up on being nice to everyone I knew. She is the kind of person who has seemingly endless stores of optimism and joy, and she filled me with some of that until I was full enough to begin giving back to her as well. In one of the most unlikely people possible, I found my true best friend. We bring out the best in each other, exciting one or focusing the other. I can truly be myself with her, whereas while I was still struggling to make up for whatever wrong I thought I had done, I was trying to be a person I was entirely not. As cliché as it sounds, I feel that she truly did save me, and I am exceptionally grateful for whatever force sent her to me. Looking back I regret blaming myself for as long as I did, and have come to accept that there was nothing I could have done to please the people I now consider only acquaintances. I found my happiness and am trying to stop looking back. MEG DOMERCHIE

ARE YOU READY TO BUY A HOME? FIRST - do you have the financial resources? You should have five percent of the purchase price of a home for the down payment, but ideally even more. Are there other priorities in your life e.g. starting a new business, which require your savings? If not, buying a home should be on your radar. SECOND - do you expect to stay in your new home for some time? Moving can be expensive and you will want to build some equity before having to relocate. Your job and home life should be stable.
