Renovation work on historic school recognized Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Central School’s 100-year-old windows have been restored to their original state and the work of the Central Okanagan School Board to make it happen has been recognized with a B.C. Heritage Award. Almost 100 windows were restored at the school, which opened in 1914 and remains in

use today by the Central Okanagan School Board. It features a restored class-room that is home to many unique remnants of the early operation of the school. Replacing the windows, many of which remained in excellent condition despite being 100 years old, was an extensive $450,000-project, funded through the school board’s annual facilities grant for upgrades to

school buildings. “It was quite an undertaking and a huge amount of money but we decided we really should do it properly,” said board chair Moyra Baxter. “There are not many real heritage buildings left in this state because a lot of them just get knocked down.” The replacement of the windows came on the heels of re-pointing the brick on the outside

of Central School, a building actually owned by the City of Kelowna and held in trust by the school district. The two projects, done in the past two years at the school, drew raves from heritage proponents. “We are thrilled with what School District 23 has done with this building,” said Janice Henry, the president of Heritage BC and also the executive director of

the Central Okanagan Heritage Society. “We wanted to hold this up as an example of other heritage conservation projects we are hoping can get done in the City of Kelowna. We’d like to thank the school board for taking the extra steps to properly preserve this building.” As part of the project, 96 original windows were removed and sent to Vancouver Island to

interesting project. It’s very rare to have these types of buildings in the Okanagan.” The award was presented during BC Heritage Week which takes place Feb. 16 to 22. In Kelowna you can view many more heritage displays this week, inside the Royal Anne Hotel on Bernard Ave. @KP_media1

Lead paint was removed from the window frames and the hardware surrounding the windows was also replaced before the new windows were installed. “It was essential to do something to replace the windows,” said project manager Ken Kovacs, himself a student at the Central School in the 1970s. “If we failed to do something now they would fail.

As well, if their dog is found without a current license, they’ll be subject to a $300 fine. “We encourage dog owners to renew online at regionaldistrict.com and click on the Dog

news _____________________________________________________________________ FRUIT GROWERS

Leadership race rematch at BCFGA AGM Richard Rolke Vernon Morning Star

It will be deja vu for Okanagan orchardists. Just as they did last year, Vernon’s Jeet Dukhia and Kelowna’s Fred Steele will go head-to-head for the presidency of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association Saturday. “We carried out a progressive agenda in the first term and we received $8.4 million over seven years for the replant program,” said

Fred Steele

Steele, who is currently president. Steele says he is seeking a second term because he has a number of initiatives to pursue.

Jeet Dukhia

“There are things we can do in terms of infrastructure money from other levels of government,” he said, adding that an industry

strategy will be developed and that will help broaden funding opportunities. “Agriculture has relied on talking to the federal and provincial agriculture ministers and there are also opportunities under Western diversification, the industry ministry and the trade ministry.” Steele is calling for increased exports of fruit. “We have to expand in different horizons and we’re looking at that,” he said. Dukhia was president

of the BCFGA prior to losing to Steele at the 2014 convention. “I had a lot of issues started and I would like to complete them,” said Dukhia referring to insurance protection. Dukhia also insists that he established a good working relationship with senior federal and provincial officials that benefitted the industry. “They understand me and where I want to take the industry,” he said, adding that there needs

to be more focus on growing varieties that will bolster exports. “I’d like to see every location (vacant land) back with orchards so we can make the industry profitable and attract young orchardists.” Dukhia says the BCFGA needs to lobby government more on fruit from other countries being imported into Canada. “A lot of growers are not happy with (price) returns.”

The BCFGA’s 126th annual convention runs Friday and Saturday in Penticton. The agenda includes consideration of resolutions, industry updates and reports on the environment, food safety, crop protection and labour. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Kirsten Hannam, with the University of B.C., who will speak to growers about building resilient orchard systems.

LAKE COUNTRY

Rail corridor process enters its last week With the deadline looming for the alternative approval process, the District of Lake Country says there has been some misinformation out in the community with regard to the district’s attempted purchase of the CN Rail corridor. As the Alternative Approval Process (AAP) enters its final week, a door to door campaign

in Lake Country is also underway in opposition to the district’s attempt to purchase the rail line. As of last Friday 201 electoral response forms had been returned to Lake Country municipal hall but early this week more were dropped off at the district office as the door-to-door campaign continues. Under the AAP, if 10 per cent of the population

(931 signatures) signs an electoral response form by Feb. 23, the district would not be allowed to go ahead with a borrowing bylaw that would allow it to raise taxes by 1.76 per cent and borrow $2.6 million. Lake Country Mayor James Baker said it’s an opportunity the district has to take advantage of. “There is no Plan B,” said Baker.

“If local governments are not successful in purchasing the corridor it could be sold off in parcels to private interests. This would mean losing control over 16 kilometres of prime, linear real estate in our community; much of it beautiful waterfront that our residents or visitors cannot access now, and most likely never would if sold privately.”

Lake Country’s portion of the total $22 million price for the rail corridor is $5 million. Under a memorandum of understanding, Kelowna will purchase the other half of the line through Lake Country for $2.5 million. The district can then pay Kelowna back with no interest on the $2.5 million for the first three years.

Kelowna, Lake Country and the North Okanagan Regional District are part of the multi-jurisdictional group that have a sales and purchase agreement with CN Rail to purchase the rail corridor for $22 million total. If the AAP does not pass in Lake Country, the group will have to find another way to fund the purchase. Kelowna’s portion of

$7.6 million will come from reserves while NORD will also pay it’s $1.9 million portion without raising taxes. The remaining $7.3 million is expected to come from higher levels of government. The parties involved inthe deal signed the sales agreement on Dec. 1, 2014 and were given 120 days to complete financing on the deal.

PROVINCIAL BUDGET

MLA says budget shows B.C. is weathering economic storm Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

The B.C. government tabled a surplus budget Tuesday, which showed some tax breaks for families, health care and education. But the message the MLA Norm Letnick wants British Columbians to take away from the process, is simply that the government positioned this province to be a survivor. “The great thing for us is we have a diverse economy,” he said, after the budget. “We are going to be the only jurisdiction in Canada to manage the budget for 2015 and that’s a testament to the people of B.C. Right now there are a lot of people sending pictures of B.C. weather back east, but I think they should be sending pictures of this budget.” Natural resource revenues highlighted one of the difficulties that the province had to manage. Ten years ago they delivered more than 12 per cent of government revenues—this year they’ll

produce closer to six per cent. Those losses were mitigated by the diversification Letnick mentioned, noting that the province is moving ahead carefully to not be caught off guard by any further declines in commodity prices. Therefore the surplus, he explained, will be used largely to pay down operating debt. The provincial budget shows operating debt of $9.4 billion for the year ending in March, declining to $8.4 billion in 2015-16 and falling below $5 billion by 2018. Total provincial debt, including roads, hospitals and other capital projects as well as debt held by BC Hydro and other Crown corporations, grows to more than $70 billion by the end of the province’s three-year fiscal plan. Borrowing will only be done to build provincial assets; some of which the Okanagan will be the beneficiary of. The current spending plan calls for $10.7 billion more in taxpayer-supported debt. Included in the projects for the year ahead are:

• Post-secondary facilities include replacement of trade buildings at Okanagan College in Kelowna (announced several months ago) and Camosun College in Victoria, a trades facility at Nicola Valley Institute of Technology in Merritt and relocation of Vancouver Community College and BCIT heavy duty and commercial transportation programs in New Westminster • New high schools including Centennial Secondary in Coquitlam, Oak Bay Secondary in Oak Bay, Wellington Secondary in Nanaimo, Clayton North Secondary in Surrey and Kitsilano Secondary in Vancouver. • Transportation projects including Evergreen rapid transit line to Coquitlam, improvements to Highway 97 in the Cariboo and the Mountain Highway interchange in North Vancouver • Health care projects including North Island Hospitals in Comox and Campbell River, Interior Heart and Surgery Centre in Kelowna and clinical support and acute care centres at Children’s and Women’s Hospital in Vancouver

Kelowna’s growth ranked fifth in the country Kelowna is the fastest growing city in B.C. Statistics Canada released its population report last week, and the Kelowna Census Metropolitan area was once again highlighted for being one of the fastest growing regions in the country. It ranked fifth in growth, only falling behind Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Regina. The government agency pegged the local

population at 191,237 for 2014, which is 1.8 per cent higher than it was in the previous year. There were no specific reasons for Kelowna’s growth in the report, but the statistical agency said 87 per cent of CMAs with a population of 500,000 or less saw population growth due to intraprovincial migration exchanges. On the losing end of the spectrum was

Saint John, New Brunswick, which saw a dip of 0.5 per cent in its population. It was the lone CMA in Canada to see its population decline significantly. The national average for growth increase was 1.4 per cent. Vancouver was the only other B.C. city that placed in the top 10 of fastest-growing cities in the country. It came in ninth.

Operating costs, improvements blamed for rate increases Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Both water and sewer rates in Kelowna will rise in dribs and drabs to accommodate increased operating costs and to fund future capital replacement projects. Engineering chief John Vos told council

Monday, that the typical homeowner will pay an extra 59 cents a month for water and an extra 38 cents a month in sewer charges, with rate hikes pegged at four per cent over two years. The cost, he explained, is relatively low as there are some significant bills coming down the pipe.

The city’s water system will need $43 million worth of upgrades in the next two decades. Part of that is because the city is still replacing some original cast iron pipes that were put down when the utility was established a century ago. Even more is due to a need to replace

An English woman who has spent the last 26 years searching for her child is planning to return to Kelowna, on the anniversary of his disappearance. Denise Allan recently launched a crowd funding campaign that could allow her to return to Kelowna once again to memorialize her son, Charles Horvath, who was last seen May 26, 1989. “Denise is now planning what will probably be ‘her final trek’ across the world from home in Richmond Upon Thames, England to Kelowna, in May 2015, for a memorial service, marking 26 very long years since Charles vanished without a trace,” reads the Fundraizr page dedicated to the journey. Thus far she’s raised under 10 per cent of the $2,800 needed for the trip. Allan last heard from her son May 11, 1989. Charles arrived in Kelowna a week earlier, and during their conversation they discussed plans to meet up for a joint birthday celebration—his 21st, her 40th—in Asia. It was a celebration they never got to share. “He had maintained contact with his family throughout his travels and so, when he failed to finalize arrangements to meet them in Hong Kong as had been planned, he was reported missing by his mother Denise Allan,” said Const. Kris Clark, in a statement prepared for the 25th anniversary, last year. Allan has never let the search die, draining her financial resources as she kept up the search. She’s returned to Kelowna repeatedly, made countless appeals for information through media outlets, vigilantly

Denise Allan, Charles Horvath’s mother, consoled by a police officer in 2010. kept his name alive through Facebook, as well as a number of missing person sites. In 2010, she even paid to have a missing person billboard

erected in Kelowna, at a cost of $1,000 a month. The billboard was put up in the “hope that the people who know where Charles’ body lays will find the courage to come forward and to tell somebody so that he will be taken home to England and laid to rest with his beloved Nana,” Allan told the Capital News in 2010. “We still don’t have him home and the answer is here, in Kelowna. I’m still searching and I will do so until the end of my life.” Mounties say at the time Horvath vanished, he wss staying at the Tiny Town Trailer Park on Lakershore Drive where he left behind his personal belongings. He was working for Flintstones Amusement

Park, and during that month he was seen at Jonathan Seagalls pub with a man believed to be in his 50s. While he’s been missing for the better part of three decades, police haven’t confirmed whether Horvath is dead and therefore if foul play is suspected. There is just over a month left for the fundraising campaign. To learn more go to fundrazr. com, and type Denise Allan into the search bar.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.

tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past four years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

Opinion

Bad timing to debate assisted suicide In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has thrown out the Criminal Code provisions that deal with assisting people to commit suicide. It is a stark reversal of the court’s decision, by a 5-4 margin in 1994, to uphold that aspect of Canadian law. This time around, the abrupt change was likely strongly influenced by the chief justice, Beverley McLachlin, who was one of the dissenting judges 21 years ago. The court has given the federal government one year to come up with new laws to deal with the issue. This timetable is clearly far too ambitious. A federal election is planned for October and if there ever was an issue that requires careful study and much consultation in advance of a law being proposed, this is it. Try doing that in an election year. The judges seem almost ignorant of practical problems caused by their timetable, even as it seems obvious they have been influenced by a shift in public opinion. Most surveys suggest that about 80 per cent of Canadians are in favour of some form of assisted dying or euthanasia for people suffering from terminal illness, although just what they actually favour varies widely. Are they in favour of the Dutch or Belgian approach, where teens and people suffering from depression can be put to death by physicians? Or do they favour the far more measured approach adopted in the state of Oregon, where the patient must request drugs, both verbally and in writing, that can end their lives, and then take them themselves — and only after a host of other safeguards have been exercised. As people’s lives have been lengthened due to medical advances in areas like heart surgery, cancer treatment and organ transplants, many live long enough so that end-of-life issues are even more challenging than they have been. The issue requires careful study and more time. – The Langley Times

Annual health care crisis grips BC

he annual ritual of Victoria News declaring a crisis in health care is upon us, with TOM the B.C. Liberal FLETCHER government boasting that we have the best system in Canada, while the NDP and the B.C. Nurses’ Union try to portray it as the worst. The BCNU is the last big public sector union still to settle in the latest round of contract talks. Feeding horror stories to the media is part of its strategy, and this time it was a patient at Abbotsford Hospital assigned a bed in a small shower room for a month due to chronic overcrowding. Hospital officials said his care wasn’t compromised. We’ve seen it in Abbotsford, Surrey and elsewhere: a new hospital or expansion is built and is immediately overcrowded. We are reminded every winter that influenza season brings a wave of people into emergency, expecting treatment for a viral infection that in most cases can only run its course. Many people still don’t understand what “the flu” is, beyond the notion that it sounds serious enough to tell the boss you won’t be in to work. And as fewer doctors choose the endless demands of family practice, the expectation that all problems must be dealt with quickly and for free seems to grow as inexorably as the health care budget. An emergency physician of my acquaintance provided a typical scenario for night shift at the ER. Where

once nights were quiet, now there are patients waiting for hours, around the clock. Several are drunk, and one has urinated on the floor. Surveys show as many as half of ER visits are alcohol-related, from overdoses to fights, falls, car crashes and chronic conditions. Into this chaos comes a mother with her young child, who has nasal and chest congestion. The child’s cough led her to throw up, so off to ER they went, blithely assuming that this is where you bring a kid with a cold. This week’s B.C. budget brings us a step closer to the moment when half of all provincial revenues go to keep the health care system running. In the legislature, NDP health critic Judy Darcy blasted Health Minister Terry Lake for the government’s failure to keep its 2010 promise to find everyone in B.C. a family doctor. Lake allowed they’re still working on that, and then plugged the latest Conference Board of Canada study showing B.C. ranks third in the world in health care outcomes, second only to Switzerland and Sweden. Darcy, a former president of the Hospital Employees’ Union, was quick to respond: “This is surely a first in question period, the Minister of Health going back to the record of the NDP government in the 1990s, because we’ve had the best health outcomes in Canada since 1993. The fact is that we exercise more, we smoke less and we drink less, and that’s to the credit of British Columbians.” We also have more elderly people, as Premier Christy Clark argued in 2011 when the federal government

Letters

Gas stations are ripping us off at the pumps To the editor: You have probably heard it already, so I am only one of many that ask: “Why are we continually being soaked for the price of gas here?” I watched the price of oil, and saw it creep up this week to just over $50/barrel, and man, it didn’t take any time at all for our gas stations to jack their prices up 10 cents/liter. So, no sooner was the price above $50, that it dropped back down to $48. But, gee, our gas is still at the $1.05/liter mark. Then, I ask, why is it that gas in Alberta is anywhere from 75 cents to around 80 cents/ liter and yet we are well above that? Also, when oil was at $105/barrel only months ago, and our gas was at $1.30/liter, why does the math not compute for me, that with oil being half, or more, of the high price earlier, is the price of gas only a fraction of that amount for being lower?

Vandalism

I would be swift to say that I think we are just being taken for a ride at the pumps. Do you agree with me, K’towners? I would say to boycott the stations, one at a time, to show our displeasure with how we get treated here, but I know that so many will not care about any of this. So, really, it is up to each individual how they react to this. At the end of the day though, nothing has changed. But all you gas station owners out there, be it known that there are a great many of us that don’t like how you treat us, especially being that we livve here alongside you as well. Thanks for listening, people of Kelowna, and surrounding areas. Maybe, some day, we will be treated right. T. Martin, Kelowna

To the editor: Over six or more years a dedicated group of volunteers in Lake Country has devoted their time to identifying, marking, mapping and clearing walking trails on Spion Kop Mountain. Our efforts have been very well received by residents of the Okanagan and visitors, and we estimate up to 10,000 walkers are now using these trails annually. Sadly some users of the trails seem to have little respect for this public environment and have vandalized both the trails and the signs that we have provided—they have been forcibly removed or even burned off, harming some of the trees. This is not the first time this has happened. I do hope by writing this letter that whoever is responsibly for this desecration of a lovely and accessible environment will be shamed into venting their spoliation acts elsewhere if they cannot stop themselves. Peter Withers, member, Walk Around Lake Country

Hoops still to be jumped as Kelowna takes ownership of Rutland Park (Victoria). A society’s resolution—whether special, ordinary, or director’s—does not take effect until it is filed with the BC Registry Service. From Section 66 of the BC Society Act: “(3) A special resolution, other than one changing the number of directors or removing a director, does not take effect until it is filed with the registrar.” 2. Rutland Centennial Park would need to be re-zoned through a public process, from P2 to P3. (A good example of “public process” can be seen at the corner of Richter Street and Clement Avenue. Two large City of Kelowna signs—“It’s your neighbourhood”— publicized a May 24, 2014 public hearing and rezoning application, regarding the new police services building.) The “Terms of Instrument—Part 2—Park Covenant” document specifically mentions P3 zoning: “Land Use Restriction—The Land shall only be used for such purposes as are permitted within the P3 Zone of the City of Kelowna Zoning Bylaw No. 8000, as that bylaw stands on the date of registration of this Agreement in the land title office.” The Feb. 12 press release continues: “Input is needed to help prioritize future park amenities at a public information session planned for Wednesday, Feb. 18 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Centennial Hall. City staff will be on hand to answer questions.” From the May 30, 2013 workshop

BC budget time means bickering is in over-drive FLETCHER FROM A6 changed its financing formula. After years of increasing transfers by six per cent per year, the late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty announced that starting in 2014, increases would be tied to economic growth, but wouldn’t fall below three per cent. This of course was treated as a cut, rather than continued increases above inflation.

CENTENNIAL PARK

To the editor: On Oct. 20, 2014, in an highly controversial vote, members of the Rutland Park Society voted to sell Rutland Centennial Park to the City of Kelowna (155, yes; 63, no). Mayor Gray and council approved the purchase of the park on Oct. 27, 2014 at their afternoon council meeting. Flash forward to the new council. A Feb. 12, 2015 City of Kelowna press release states in part: “The City of Kelowna has officially acquired Rutland Centennial Park as part of the Memorandum of Agreement with the Rutland Park Society.” (On Feb. 11, the City received official notification from the Land Title Office that park ownership has been transferred.) In early February, strategic land development manager Graham Hood said the city was awaiting word from the province on the subdivision of the property. He also said the subdivision pertains to taking a portion of the park and dedicating it as a roadway (extension of Shepherd Road) to allow for two-way bus transit and other vehicles. Wouldn’t the following two actions also be necessary: 1. The Rutland Park Society would submit their Oct. 20, 2014 resolution to the BC Registry Service, and have it approved and registered. To date, the RPS has not submitted their resolution to the BC Registry Service

But there it is, and all provinces have to deal with it. Darcy is quite right that personal responsibility is the key, something to remember as the usual squabbling of special interests continues. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

How can the RPS receive funds (including $800,000 from the city) of the Central and South when there is still no treasurer to oversee the Okanagan / Similkameen receiving and managing of funds?

Interprovincial booze sale ban lifted Joe Fries Penticton Western News

Almost eight months after new legislation allowed thirsty Canadians to import beer and spirits from other provinces, a federal cabinet minister visited a Penticton brewery late last week to officially lift the lid. “We haven’t had an opportunity to make a formal announcement of it, so now it’s up and running and everybody knows,” said Revenue Minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay during a press conference at Cannery Brewing Company. She was in the city to re-announce amendments to the Prohibition-era Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act that were passed as part of an omnibus budget bill in June 2014. Those amendments cleared the way for provinces to remove internal trade barriers to allow Canadians to have beer and spirits for personal consumption shipped to their homes regardless of where they live. So far, however, only B.C. and Manitoba have made the necessary changes, with Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia close behind. The Conservative MP for Delta-Richmond East, is working with other provinces to speed up the process of creating a single Canadian market. “We’re a big nation, but there’s no reason why we

can’t see ourselves as one national economy. We want to break down those trade barriers, not just in this industry, but in many industries,” she said. Similar amendments to federal legislation regarding the interprovincial sale of wine took effect in 2012. Thanks to those changes, direct-to-consumer sales from wineries increased by 20 per cent last year, a boost worth about $70 million, according to Josie Tyabji, chairwoman of the B.C. Wine Institute. “Our industry continues to pressure other provincial governments to take down their borders and permit direct-to-consumer shipping for all products that are grown and manufactured in Canada,” she said. Cannery Brewing Company owner Pat Dyck will also join the fight, but isn’t worried about new competition from out-of-province beer makers on her home turf. “Not a bit,” she said.“For us, the more great beer there is the better. We’d like to show off our stuff, and I’m sure (out-of-province competitors) would like to show off theirs.” Okanagan-Coquihalla Conservative MP Dan Albas, who led the campaign to ease the interprovincial flow of alcohol, said the 20 per cent increase in wine sales shows B.C. manufacturers can hold their own. “We should never be afraid to compete,” Albas said, “whether it be on the world stage or here at home.”

recreational trails in the region. Making the announcement on behalf of Denis Lebel, the federal Infrastructure, Communities, and Intergovernmental Affairs minister, Cannan said the Snowmobile Club will receive $27,500 for trail improvements through its Okanagan Highlands Snowmobile Project, while the regional district will get $61,000 for trail development, connecting the Lebanon Creek Greenway Regional Park and the Johns Family Nature Conservancy Regional Park. “By building on the vast network of recreational trails that run throughout the Okanagan, we are offering residents and visitors alike the opportunity to experience

yet another great outdoor experience,” said Cannan. “This will have a positive impact on the local economy and encourage people to enjoy what the Okanagan has to offer.” Regional District of Central Okanagan chairwoman Gail Given welcomed the money. “We’re extremely grateful for this federal funding to help build a new five-kilometer trail, along with funding signage, fencing and footbridges over Lebanon Creek.” Design work on the $142,000 recreational corridor will be completed this spring with construction planned through the summer. “We expect that the new trail will be officially open for the public this

fall,” added Given. Dave Liemert, president of the Kelowna Snowmobile Club, said the the grant to his organization will go a long way to assist it with continued development, maintenance and expansion of our current trail system, including improvements in signs and visibility, improved mapping, and addressing narrow areas on the trails to improve grooming. He also to thanked the government for supporting club’s work. Through a partnership between the fedral government and the National Trails Coalition, $10 million has been made available between 2014 and 2016 to help expand and rehabilitate Canada’s snowmobile, allterrain vehicle and nonmotorized trail system.

Province doles out money for cycling network in Kelowna The provincial government is directing funds toward Kelowna’s cycling infrastructure this year, in an ongoing effort to expand and build cycling lanes, trails and paths for B.C. families. The two local projects getting funding include UBC Okanagan Rails with Trails and the Kelowna: Lakeshore Avenue Active Transportation Corridor. The Rails with Trails project will see $100,000 dedicated to the installation of signs to guide trail users to and from the facility, while the active transportation project will see $360,000 used to separate bike path/bike lanes between DeHart Road and McClure Road. “The importance of cycling infrastructure in our communities is a common theme we hear when talking to British Columbians about their transportation priorities,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone. Kelowna wasn’t the only city on the receiving end of funds. Communities throughout British Columbia will receive more than $3.69 million in BikeBC funding this year to expand and build cycling lanes, trails and paths for B.C. families. BikeBC is the province’s cost-sharing program that

helps local governments build cycling projects that attract and support commuter, recreational and tourism cyclists and pedestrians. This year’s investment will generate more than $7.38 million in cycling infrastructure. Since 2001, the B.C. government has committed almost $155 million for cycling infrastructure, creating new bicycle lanes and trails in over 100 communities in the province. Cycling contributes to increased physical activity and helps reduce greenhouse gases, and this year’s 22 projects cover a wide range, including bike lanes and multi-use trails, as well as improvements to roads and highways, to allow better shared use for cyclists. During consultations for the new 10-year transportation plan, BC on the Move, the ministry heard that enhanced cycling infrastructure and improved transportation choices are important to British Columbians. Many local governments and community organizations indicated that increased participation in cycling and walking programs and improvements to cycling and pedestrian trails and networks are among their highest priorities.

Interior Health has announced the appointment of Diane Jules and Deborah Cannon to its board of directors. “The expertise and experience that Ms. Jules and Ms. Cannon bring will be an asset to the Interior Health Board as it focuses on enhancing care for patients in the region,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “Both have strong community connections and bring perspectives that have been shaped by their business backgrounds and commitment to community service.” They were also publicly welcomed by new board

chairman Erwin Malzer. “I am confident that they will add valuable insight as we continue our work to provide quality care that benefits patients and families in our region,” he said. Jules, from Chase, has been president of the Sexqeltkemc Ltd. Partnership since 2010. She served four terms as an elected Adams Lake Indian Band councillor and was president of the Adams Lake Band Development Corporation.

Steve Manuel’s UBC Okanagan Heat broke new ground for the program last season with a fourth-place finish at the Canada West women’s volleyball championship. A year wiser and more experienced, the Heat have visions of pushing the bar even higher in 2014-15. UBC Okanagan will battle the Trinity Western Spartans Thursday night in Edmonton in the Canada West semifinal round, while UBC meets host Alberta in the other semi. The winners will meet Friday in the gold medal match, while the losers square off for bronze. When all is said and done, the three medalists will earn a trip to the CIS nationals the following week in Toronto. “We realize how big of a task it is, and that one great team is going to miss out on going to nationals,” said Manuel. “But that’s the nature of our conference,

I feel that we’ll be ready next weekend. It’s going to be a quick turnaround and we’ve got a lot of work to do in the meantime, but it’s time to look forward, and leave it all out there.” The CIS national women’s championship is set for Feb. 26 to March 1 in Toronto.

HEAT ALL-STARS…

UBC Okanagan middles Katy Klomps and Katie Wuttunee have been recognized as Canada West all-stars for 201415. Klomps, a fourthyear player from Surrey, was named to the conference’s first team, while Wuttunee, a three year veteran from Vancouver, was a second team selection. Klomps tied the Canada West record for blocks this season with 135. Wuttunee posted 71 blocks and added 174 kills.

WHL HOCKEY

Productive week for Rockets’ forward Draisiatl Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

After spending the first half of the 201415 season in the NHL, the Kelowna Rockets expected it would take Leon Draisaitl some time to adjust to his return to major junior hockey. Based on his play over the last week, the German-born forward looks to be settling in nicely with his new WHL team. Draisaitl, who recorded two goals and nine points

Leon Draisaitl

over the last four games, has been named the WHL’s player of the week. Considered one of the top 19-year-old forwards in the world, Draistail’s

recent surge of offence is welcomed by the Rockets who are seeing more and more of the skilled forward’s full potential. “He’s the type of player that’s capable of putting up points on the board like that, in bunches,” said Rockets head coach Dan Lambert. “But it’s more than him just feeling more comfortable now… he’s played the right way the last few days and he’s being compensated for that. “Whenever you get sent down a couple of

levels, there’s always a time of adjustment,” added Lambert. “It may be that he thought it was going to be easy, and when it wasn’t he was questioning his confidence. He’s brought a lot to our hockey team and we’re starting to see what he’s capable of doing.” In addition to a pair of assists in Monday’s win over Prince George, Draisaitl added three more helpers in Friday’s win over the Victoria Royals.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound centre concluded the week with his most productive effort, tallying two goals and two assists Saturday in a 6-0 blanking of Moose Jaw. In 17 games with the Rockets, Draistail has nine goals, 27 points and a +9 rating. The Rockets acquired him from the Prince Albert Raiders last month in exchange for Kris Schmidli, Dalton Yorke and a bantam draft pick. A third overall NHL

UBCO BASKETBALL

Coach Semeniuk bids farewell Winning was never Heather Semeniuk’s overriding priority with the UBC Okanagan Heat, but admittedly it was a nice way for the veteran head coach to bid farewell. After 21 seasons at the helm of the varsity women’s basketball program, Semeniuk said goodbye on Friday night in Kelowna while watching her Heat defeat the UNBC Timberwolves 65-49. In a storied and lengthy career which began in Kelowna in 1994, Semeniuk has guided a total of 125 players from 61 different high schools. She retires having coached 378 conference games, including 198 victories. Wins and losses aside, Semeniuk’s goal has always been to foster relationships, build community, and mentor young girls into mature, intelligent, and compassionate people on and off the court.

It’s about loyalty, trust SEMENIUK FROM A14 “Relationships make the world go round,” Semeniuk said, reflecting on her legacy. “Sometimes it’s not always perfect, but for me it’s the basis of everything. I can’t even think what else there could possibly be that we do this for. “The loyalty, the trust, it’s wholesome. To be able to nurture it here, and get (my girls) to understand how important it is. To see them learn that is the most important thing.

Our friendships will be lifelong.” Semeniuk coached Heat teams to five provincial medals— including two gold—in her last six seasons in the BCCAA. Among her many other highlights was watching the UBC Okanagan program gain admittance into Canada West in 2011. Still, in the end, it’s all about people for Semeniuk. “To be honest, I don’t remember records, I don’t remember

championships,” she explained, “I remember the feeling, and the experience, and the sharing of both.” “There have been so many fantastic women,” she continued. “Girls are having families, getting married, having children, life is just evolving for everybody. Now I get to share in their lives in a different dimension.” Friday’s game also marked the graduation of two seniors with the Heat—Angela White and Tia Sadler.

I had the opportunity to visit the new Plates Restaurant in Kettle Valley. The restaurant is owned and operated by Serge Dosanj (also of Poppadoms Indian Restaurant), with bar team Harry Dosanj and Daniel Robinson, along with chef Jason Hartl. The restaurant, with a separate bar, welcomes all patrons including children. We sampled the braised short ribs and KVP house salad, which were both delicious and offered good sized portions. Serge has done some minor renovations to the premises, which have a nice warm atmosphere and a large patio in the summer. It also offers a good selection of bar and starter plates, burgers, Serge’s signature butter chicken, handmade potato burgers, fish and chips, steak sandwiches, pasta and rice bowls. I ran into Bob and Lynda McGowan and Gail and Greg Prichard and they loved the food and service. Open 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday. Call 778-4772414. Many changes are taking place with London Drugs store managers in the valley. Local store manager Jim Larsen has been transferred to the Vernon store. Jim Skinner of the West Kelowna store, and formerly at the Kelowna store, is coming back to take Larsen’s place. Colin Campbell from Penticton is moving to the West Kelowna store and Peter Walton will relocate from Vernon to Penticton. Lorraine Richardson is the new branch manager at Valley First

Along with a new beautiful clubhouse, Loic Jacquet is the new food and beverage manager at the Shannon Lake Golf Club restaurant. Originally from France and trained in Paris, Loic has been in the industry for over 20 years. He has worked in a diverse number of establishments, including Michelin starred restaurants, Relais Chateaux, five-star hotels and wineries including six years at Mission Hill Family Estate and four years at Quails Gate Winery, both in restaurant management roles. The clubhouse will open for breakfast, lunch and dinner in conjunction with the golf course in early to mid-March. Rich Chlopa, who has been the head pro at Kelowna Springs Golf Club since 2008 is relocating to Victoria. A new head pro should be announced in the next few weeks. Golf is just a few weeks away and there is more happening at Kelowna Springs Golf Course. This year, foot golf will

be introduced. What is foot golf? It is played with a regular soccer ball, using large twofoot “cups” in areas away from the fairways and greens. Eighteen holes of foot golf are laid out on the courses front nine area and it takes about two hours to play. Foot golf started in Europe more than a decade ago and began to get popular in North America starting two summers ago. Kelowna Springs will be the first course in Kelowna to offer it all season long. Two other non-traditional offerings are also coming to Kelowna Springs in 2015. They are eightinch cups on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, as part of a fun league called Vegas Fun Days, and the availability of fling golf, which is a unique twist on golf that allows a total nongolfer to play alongside experienced players.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Housing starts dipped slightly in January Housing starts in the Kelowna Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 1,410 units in January, compared to 1,428 units in December 2014, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates of housing starts. “The trend measure for Kelowna area housing starts was relatively unchanged in January compared to a month earlier,” said Sarena Teakles, CMHC senior market analyst at CMHC. “Multiples starts trended lower by a modest amount and single-detached starts remained on-par with month-earlier figures.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and to

obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analysing only seasonally adjusted annual rate data can be misleading in some markets, says CMHC as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets, which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The stand-alone monthly seasonally adjusted annual rate was 964 units in January, compared to 1,786 units in December 2014. The Kamloops, Vernon and Prince George areas all reported increased new home construction activity in January compared to a year ago. In Kamloops, homebuilders started 10 new homes, up from four homes last January. There were 24 starts in Vernon last month, compared to eight starts during January 2014. Prince George reported 17 new homes got underway in January, versus seven a year earlier.

Of Prime Interest: Using RRSPs to buy One of the more popular times of the year to take advantage of the RRSP Home Buyer’s Plan is upon us. Use your RRSP to buy a house and get a tax refund. If you know you are buying your first home in the next 90 days and have the room you make a $25,000 contribution ($50,000 for a couple) your timing couldn’t be better. The contribution should generate a large refund in April and along with withdrawing your $25,000 or $50,000 you will have a nice down payment to purchase a home. The Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) allows you to withdraw funds from your registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) to buy or build a home for yourself or for a related person with a disability. You can withdraw up to $25,000 in a calendar year. If you are a couple - $50,000. You have to repay all withdrawals to your RRSPs within 15 years. If you do not repay the amount due for a year it will have to be included in your income for that year. As an example repayment of $25,000 over 15 years would amount to $1666.67 per year. This home can be your home or it can be for a

related person with a disability. If the home is purchased for a person with a disability (or a related person with a disability) the home should be either more accessible to that person than his or her current home or be better suited to that person’s needs. You have the option of purchasing the home for the disabled or you can gift the funds to them to do so. Only the participant can withdraw the funds from an RRSP under which he or she is the annuitant. In the case of a spousal or common-law partner’s RRSP, the annuitant is the person who will receive benefits from the plan. Some RRSPs such as locked-in or group RRSPs do not allow you to withdraw funds from them so it is important to get this information from your RRSP issuer before you begin the process. To qualify for this program you must be a resident of Canada and have entered into a written agreement to purchase or build a qualifying home. The home must be your principal residence within one year of buying or building it. You must be

considered a first-time home buyer. It is determined that you are not a first time home buyer, if you or a spouse or common-law partner owned a home that you occupied as your principal residence at any time during the period beginning January 1 of the fourth year before the year of the withdrawal and ending 31 days before the date of the withdrawal. Neither you nor your spouse/common-law partner can own the qualifying home more than 30 days prior to the withdrawal being made. Your Home Buyers Plans as of January 1 of the year in which you will withdraw the funds has to be zero and you are required to receive all the withdrawals in the same calendar years. For more information see the CRA guide at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/ pub/tg/rc4135/rc4135-13e.pdf.

Don Burnett: Grand lady has left us Katie Byland, matriarch of the family that from small beginnings in 1954 went on to establish the vast award winning nursery and greenhouse operation on the west side, has passed away. The Burnett family and the Byland families have a relationship that goes back to those early beginnings in the 1950s as I can remember making the trip across the lake to pick up She was quite a nursery stock with my dad. celebrity and I know Often the trip was made at the end of the day when my dad could break away from the busi- she enjoyed the ness and we would end up being invited in to whole trip. have a bite with Adrian and Katie. In those days my dad was in his mid- to late-40s and Adrian Don Burnett and Katie were in their 20s. When we closed down the Greenhouse Garden Centre portion of our business in 1997, my relationship with the Bylands became even closer as I helped out in their garden centre for a few years. During that time, I was able to have many conversations with Katie as she made daily visits to the store to, as she put it, ‚“keep an eye on things.” In 2008, Katie came with us on our trip to Seattle and we stuck together like family enjoying every minute of it. As a passenger on the bus, she was quite a celebrity and I know she enjoyed the whole trip. Katie lost Adrian in 1982 and it was devastating for the entire family; however,

she and her children carried on with his dream of a successful world-class nursery business and he would be so proud of his family’s accomplishments to this end. My condolences go out to John and Maria, Anita and Rico and their families. ••• By the time you read this, Ken Salvail and I will be at the Northwest Flower and Garden show with a bus load of passionate gardeners. The theme for this year’s show is Romance Blossoms, so we are calling the bus ‚“The Love Bus”. This will be the 11th time we have taken this trip and it never gets tiring. The several acres of displays include huge landscapes, thousands of plants in full blossom forced into bloom especially for the show and, of course, one of my favourite components, the seminars put on by some of the most respected in the gardening world. On the way, back we will stop in to see our own favourite garden guy Brian Minter, at which time he will give us our own private presentation on what’s new and exciting. While at Minter Country Gardens in Chilliwack, we can browse the garden centre and purchase some special plants and other items in Brian’s unique inventory. Once we leave Chilliwack and embark on the last leg of the journey, we will hand out the door prizes; everyone gets one, then Ken and I will stage a mock garden show answering questions from the passengers. Speaking of the Garden Show, for those of you not on the bus, you will hear a recorded version, taped specially for the Saturday morning we won’t be here. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports Saturdays from 8 to 10 a.m. Don is also now on Facebook.

news _____________________________________________________________________ BEHIND THE COUNTER

Transferring property into a corporation Transferring assets into a corporation from a sole proprietorship takes some planning. Do you have property that you need to transfer to a corporation? If you have a sole proprietorship and you want to transfer the equipment and other property that you are using to a newly formed corporation tax free, you need to complete what is called a section 85 rollover. If you have a building that you need to transfer over, you will need to “sell” the building to the corporation and pay the property transfer tax, which is a provincial tax. If you have vehicles that you need to transfer, then you need to pay the PST on the transfer. You can apply for an exemption for GST on the transfer. So transferring assets into a corporation from a sole proprietorship takes some planning to avoid or reduce both the provincial and the federal taxes that might be payable. The required tax form

Behind The Counter GABRIELE BANKA is a T2057 and requires specific and adequate description of the properties transferred. A section 85 transfer allows the taxpayer to transfer property at an agreed amount which may be fair market value or cost or an amount in between. You must receive at least one share or a fraction of a share in order for the transfer to be valid. When you choose an amount that is different than fair market value, you are required to have supporting documentation to support your choice, because the CRA can review the transfer and revalue the amounts. Also, depending on the value of the transfer you may also trigger a capital gain or loss in the sole

proprietorship, so you may want to discuss what the best transfer amount might be with your accountant or a lawyer. The T2057 form must be filed separately from any other tax return. The deadline to file the return is the earliest of when either of the parties has to file a return.

You must receive at least one share or a fraction of a share in order for the transfer to be valid.” For example, if the property was transferred in February 2015, and the corporation’s year end was July, then the T2057 form would need to be filed by July 2015 to avoid any penalties. Or, if the transfer occurred in November of 2014 and the corporate year end was July 2015,

the T2057 form must be filed before June 15 which is when the sole proprietor’s return is due to be filed. If you do miss the deadline, you can make this election up to three years after the filing deadline, but you will be charged late filing interest and you must provide reasons as to why it is late. Finally, elections can be amended to correct inaccurate valuations that gave rise to unintended tax consequences, due to an error such as using the incorrect cost, or use of net book value instead of undepreciated capital cost value. More information can be found on the Canada Revenue Agency’s information circular IC7619R3. ••• Interested in speed networking?

Is Okanagan Valley the next hub for entrepreneurs? For a region full of beauty, natural resources, evidence of affluence and a plethora of people from throughout our world with varying degrees of knowledge, experience, education and zeal, it is sometimes hard to not see the Okanagan

as an entrepreneur’s playground or home of tomorrow’s innovation. Places like Calgary and Vancouver have traditionally reserved the title for entrepreneurially “make your dreams come true” cities. These appear to be locations

Land Act: Notice of Intention to Apply for a Disposition of Crown Land Take notice that Regional District of Central Okanagan from Kelowna BC has applied to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO), Thompson-Okanagan, for a licence for dock construction purposes situated next to 2375 Swite Road, West Kelowna over Provincial Crown land being unsurveyed Crown land being the foreshore and bed of Shannon Lake fronting Lot 109, District Lot 2599, Osoyoos Division Yale District, Plan 27602. The Lands File for this application is 3413411. Written comments concerning this application should be directed to the Senior Land Officer, Thompson-Okanagan, MFLNRO, at 441 Columbia Street Kamloops BC.

where entrepreneurship is expected, encouraged and fostered. After moving to the Central Okanagan little over 8 1/2 years ago from Saskatoon, and in particular the last six months, I have been blown away by the entrepreneurial culture that is quietly emerging among the young and ambitious who want to dramatically shake the status quo here in our Valley region as well as globally. In an opinion shared by many, there is no reason why the Okanagan shouldn’t be a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation. After all, we possess many of the critical ingredients that arguably, comprise the foundational seat of innovation

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG and creativity—the touchstones of the entrepreneurial path. There does exist, in our region, a massive braintrust, access to enormous resources (if only we look) and an expansive representation of power and authority amidst the many organizations and institutions that comprise our landscape. That being said, I have heard several times over the past few years, that what is missing from the equation is the culture of entrepreneurship. So, this week, let’s talk a bit about that piece of the puzzle.

Increasingly, supporting entrepreneurship is an economic development strategy with genuine potential to revitalize regional economies and, at the same time, open windows of opportunity for individuals previously left out of the mainstream economy. Communities tend to support entrepreneurs with high growth potential in the hope that they may generate many jobs. Research, however, tells us that most of the new jobs are being created by ventures with less than nine employees but communities ought to support these entrepreneurs as well.

Because, with support, such entrepreneurs can undoubtedly generate additional economic activity. The concept of entrepreneurship helps focus development efforts on building an environment in which many types of people from all types of backgrounds can start entrepreneurial selfemployment ventures that do contribute to a regional economy as ours, no matter what their size. Putting economic development work in a regional context can increase its impact for sure. Instead of working in pillars, people who attend to development in all its applications ideally should link with others doing similar work throughout our region.

One of the impacts I am witnessing lately, which has given rise to this week’s column, is my view of the incredible change occurring in our midst. Recently, many of our organizations and institutions have steppedup their realization that if they are to have a significant impact, they need to act in a larger arena, partnering with other organizations and entrepreneurs to transform our regional economy and create an integrated set of forces bringing about that shift. By joining hands with others to create a healthy vibrant entrepreneurial economy, we will collectively be able to leverage our capacities and help make many more individuals gain assets and independence. Let’s look at a regional entrepreneurship system as a framework for creating a network hub. Entrepreneurship does require a well thought out system of support. Many Canadians dream of becoming entrepreneurs, the research tells us, but seldom use, or know how to access, the resources they will need for achievement and success. The literature tells me that a system of choice might include: co-ordination of easily accessible technical assistance and training, regional communities that value entrepreneurs and link them to appropriate services, access to appropriate capital, the formation of clusters that provide sector-specific assistance, a process for gathering information about gaps in the system and developing policy and new services to address such gaps The importance of this void truly needs highlighting.

Proper management can prevent cancer in cats Cancer has always been one of the most challenging areas in both human and veterinary medicine. One of the most common types of cancers in cats is feline leukemia, which is actually a result of a viral infection. Luckily with the right management this cancer may be prevented. Feline leukemia virus (aka FELV) is a virus belongs to the retrovirus family. The disease spreads easily either by a contact between a carrier cat to unexposed cat, or from a carrier pregnant queen to her kittens through the placenta or in the milk. The virus can not be transmitted

Furry Friends DR. MOSHE OZ from cats to dogs, nor to humans. Feline leukemia virus attacks the body’s lymphoid tissue (part of the immune system) and may cause either lymphosarcoma-tumors in various internal organs or leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells in the blood). The virus also leads to anemia and general weakness of the immune system, which alters the cat’s ability to fight any sort of infection.

JOEL YOUNG

Entrepreneurial culture growing in Okanagan YOUNG FROM B3

entrepreneurial system points leads us to view a network or conceptual hub model which, in order to work well, requires entrepreneurs and associated organizations to work together in a network hub concept. Such a hub concept is the set of entrepreneurs, both technological and non-technological alike, organizations, and residents working together to make sure that entrepreneurs get the support they need to start up and flourish. To be truly effective, such a hub model must include and be driven by the region’s entrepreneurs and their needs. Here is where I have become, of late, particularly excited many organizations, not just the entrepreneurs themselves will be 4involved in the network hub to develop new or modified services, policies and collaborations. And so, dear readers, I must clearly state my joy with my observation and interaction with critically important components that we have, not only in the Central Okanagan, that lead me to the conclusion, that we are on the cusp of a major entrepreneurial

hub in the interior of our beloved province through the leadership that has evolved through the creation of new initiative in Kelowna and Penticton, the new face of Accelerate Okanagan; the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society and the spirit of innovation that has arisen strongly within our institutions as UBCO,Okanagan College, CATO and a valley media that is demonstrating a strong support for new venture creation in our midst. The Okanagan Valley is also home to a growing number of entrepreneurs with a broad range of interests and passions. I’m continually running into them and through my writing and our society, and hence am witnessing more prominently than ever this growing and emerging cultural hub. There is no doubt in my mind, the Okanagan can be and is on the road to becoming a major hub for entrepreneurship and innovation and this is going to be very, very big. Joel Young is an entrepreneurial leadership coach, educator, consultant and the founder of the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. eagelyoung@shaw.ca

The severity of the disease depends mainly on the timing of the exposure to the virus, and the strength of the cat’s immune system. The stronger the cat’s immune system is, the more likely that it will overcome the infection. Kittens younger than six months of age are the most prone to developing persistent

infection. The disease starts to be manifested by clinical sign only two to four years after the exposure. This fact makes it hard to prevent the transmission of the disease. Unfortunately your cat can get sick by being in contact with another cat that evidently seems healthy. There are many different symptoms for the disease, depending

on the location of the cancer developed. The symptoms showing will be related to the body system affected, for an example-intestinal tumor can lead to vomiting, changes in the stool, weight loss etc. The disease is diagnosed and confirmed by a blood test. Most veterinary clinics carry an in-house test that can give you a result within only few minutes.

Otherwise the blood can be sent to a laboratory. If left untreated the infected cat will die within one to two months from the onset of the clinical disease. Most of the cancers that are caused by feline leukemia virus respond well to chemotherapy but only prolong the cat’s life by a few months. Fortunately there is a vaccine available against feline leukemia virus.

The vaccine is not risk free, and there is no vaccine that guarantees complete protection, but since people started to routinely vaccinate their cats against FELV, the prevalence of the disease has been markedly reduced. Please note, that some of the feline annual vaccine combinations do not contain the vaccine

Kittens, as being the most prone to severe infection, should be vaccinated twice—the first vaccine at the age of eight to nine weeks followed by a booster three to four weeks later, and regularly as adults.

IN THE LOOP CONTRIBUTED

A new stage show presented by UBC Okanagan and Theatre26 explores the madness and isolation, joy and elation experienced by professional clowns on the road. Marooned debuts Feb. 19, bringing a slice of surreal life from UKand Toronto-based artists Aron De Casmaker and Jesse Buck, who spent five years on tour as principle clowns in Cirque du Soleil’s production Alegria. Marooned audiences can expect a PG-rated show full of comedy, absurdity, surprises, multimedia interaction— and a certain “sleight of hand to charm and trick audiences into laughing.” De Casmaker and Buck are currently artists-inresidence for the UBCO Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, where

In Kelowna for the winter semester, De Casmaker is also teaching two full-time courses in FCCS: Clowning and Theatre Devising.) Marooned runs 8 p.m. shows Feb. 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28, with Saturday performances (Feb. 21 and 28) at both 2 and 8 p.m. All shows take place at

Until March 7 Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art Rotary Centre of theArts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna 3-21 Ever wondered where all the personal information that we feed into the Internet ends up? So do Vancouver artists Nathan McNinch and Kevin Day. Their exhibition, A Scanner

Ubiquity, collates samples of seemingly useless but readily available public information and turns it into works of art. A participatory installation piece takes the form of several machines that retrieve physiological information (such as height and density) from the nearby audience. In real time, the data is then continuously printed on paper, creating something similar to a polygraph using the gathered information. The exhibition demonstrates the process by which human attributes become privatized and reduced to data and statistics, fully exploited in the

information age. Can resistance be accomplished through induced obsolescence— by making the data nonfunctional through selferasure, overabundance, translation and exaggeration? The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the development of the creative community. CONCERT Aerosmith Friday, July 13 Prospera Place Kelowna Tickets go on sale today, at 10 a.m., for the iconic rock band

Aerosmith. The original group members are all on board for this tour—Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer—which hasn’t been the case for some previous tours of the band in recent years due to medical issues and disagreements between Tyler and Perry. While Aerosmith can boast of record sales topping 150 million and many honours, the Aerosmith story is really one of survival. Since the Boston band burst on the national scene with their classic rock staple hit Sweet Emotion in the early 1970s, Aerosmith has continued to remain relevant musically all those years since. That despite of friction among the band members and dealing with the bad side of rock ‘n roll success—drug abuse, particularly for Perry and Tyler.

WHAT’S AT THE MOVIES

Costner back in his comfort zone Movie Guy

RICK DAVIS with a gross north of $35 million. It will be interesting to see how both fare next weekend as Kingsman is receiving stronger word-of-mouth than Fifty Shades so expect the latter to have a bigger drop in business than the former.

The three new openings will not likely pose much of a threat to last weekend’s winners, but they will definitely bring some variety to the choices of movies this weekend. Already getting critical recognition is McFarland, USA, starring the man who I would call the “comfort food” of actors, Kevin Costner, in the genre that he is best known for: The sports

movie. The reason why I think of Costner as comfort food—think of the movies he has been in and in most cases I know I will be satisfied in the end. His latest is based on the true story of a coach who lands in a predominantly Latino high school in an economically challenged community and discovers

Like it or not, Fifty Shades of Grey was the number one movie over the weekend, breaking numerous records grossing over $80 million and spicing up the Valentine’s Day weekend for many. It also performed well in many international markets grossing another $158 million outside of North America. In an ingenious bit of counter-programming, Kingsman: The Secret Service performed well

Tip from the wealthy: Prepare for your future At any stage of life it is important to have a savings plan; whether for a future purchase, as an emergency fund, or for retirement. Matthew Ehrenreich is an associate of McIver Capital Management at the wealth management firm Richardson GMP Limited in downtown Vancouver. While he and his team tend to cater to high net-worth clients, one common factor he has noticed for individuals at any income level is the desire to be prepared for their future. When it comes to

saving, consider life as having many different stages. The Accumulation phase: mid-to-late 20s to mid-to-late 30s, when people have the chance to start putting their first bit of money away. This phase is often overlooked as an opportune stage to begin saving, because people are busy starting a family, buying a house or car, and getting into the rhythm of a full-time job. The Mature Earning phase: age 40 to 55, when people have begun to mature in their careers and earn substantially

more. They often have kids who are participating in various activities and who will potentially need assistance with saving for their post-secondary education. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time when there is a greater temptation to spend more money in conjunction with the increased household income, whether its wanting to upgrade to a nicer house, a better car, or taking

more vacations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this stage, if people havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already developed a sound habit of putting away a little chunk of their income on a consistent basis, it will only become significantly more difficult to get in the habit as the stages of life continue,â&#x20AC;? says Ehrenreich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key is to have developed a small amount of savings by this stage already, that you can continue to add to month after month as you approach the third stage.â&#x20AC;? The Peak Earning years: Age 55 to 65, which in most cases is

With good habits and dedication, financial freedom can be achieved and people can live the kind of lives they want after retirement; it all starts with a plan.â&#x20AC;? Matthew Ehrenreich the final decade of work for many people. At this point they have spent the majority of their lives in the workforce and are in the process of reaching their potential. If health permits, these will be the years when people make the most money and also begin to think about life after the workplace. For too many families today, it

isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until this phase that they begin to realize what the costs of retirement will be. A recent CIBC poll found that 45 per cent of people aged 50 to 59 have saved less than $100,000. Given that the average retired person in Canada now spends approximately $51,000 a year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear to see that people are grossly underestimating the costs required to live a sustainable life upon retirement. With life expectancy increasing, in many cases, people will need to fund up to 20 years of retirement living, meaning that people need to begin putting away money sooner. A Canadian Payroll Association survey found that 40 per cent of people

t spend all, or more, of e their paycheque. a â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is simply a unacceptable,â&#x20AC;? says Ehrenreich, who advises e o putting away 10 to 20 a per cent, at minimum, of every paycheque into t y savings. Along with this, he has other tips when it comes to money a management and where i to invest for retirement. M t Tax Free Savings a Account (TFSA): this c is the best savings C tool available for C Canadians, where you can grow money without C C being taxed, even on withdrawals, and yet far a too many do not take advantage of it. It began s in 2009 and at this point, c Canadians have up to $36,500 available in total contribution room. Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP): this is an effective way to save for retirement and reduce current taxes. Money grows within it taxfree, much like a TFSA, however, when you withdraw funds you do have to pay taxes, which makes this a more longterm plan for retirement. Have an emergency fund: Have enough cash in a bank account to cover three months worth of expenses. If you ever lose a job or face a crisis, this will allow a buffer zone that prevents you from having to dip into your savings. Setting up an automatic electronic monthly contribution to a savings account is a simple way to start. Establish a difference between needs and wants and cut back on unnecessary spending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circumstances are different, which is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to actually sit down with someone and discuss future goals and expectations for retirement and all of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stages,â&#x20AC;? says Ehrenreich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With good habits and dedication, financial freedom can be achieved and people can live the kind of lives they want after retirement; it all starts with a plan.â&#x20AC;?

Good supporting cast DAVIS FROM B7 that his students have exceptional running ability. With his help and the incredible work ethic and determination of the teens, they start a championship legacy that lasts for over a dozen years. If you are looking for a raunchy comedy, jump into the Hot Tub Time Machine 2. The sequel to the cult hit from five years ago features most of the cast of the original—Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Chevy Chase; however, John Cusack is noticeably absent. I would get into the story, but with a movie called Hot Tub Time

Machine with the number 2 after it, do you really need to know the plot? And finally, The Duff is a teen comedy which tells the tale of a high school senior whose life is turned upside down when she discovers that she is viewed as ‘The DUFF,’ and acronym meaning Designated Ugly Fat Friend. Not happy with that title, she enlists the help of a popular athlete to help her achieve a makeover. While it will likely not have appeal outside the teen audience, it does feature the always enjoyable Ken Jeong (The Hangover) and Allison Janney (Mom). Rick Davis is the GM of Landmark Cinemas 8.

GUSTUS - PERCY ARTHUR

June 20, 1923 – February 6, 2015 Percy passed away peacefully in Kelowna BC after a lengthy period of declining health. Predeceased by his son Guy, he is survived by his wife Lil; children Regan (Bruce) and Jeffrey; and, grandchildren Devon and Bryn. Percy will be remembered for his love of family and his passion for music. He played saxophone and clarinet in many bands over the years. The family home was always filled with music and jam sessions were a regular occurrence. Born in Kelvington, SK, Percy moved his young family to Saskatoon where he worked at Merlin Motors before returning to Kelvington in 1972 to purchase a Ford-Mercury dealership. In 2000 Percy, Lil and Guy moved to Kelowna to be closer to family in BC. Percy gained new friendships through his music and enjoyed the bounty of the Okanagan. The family is grateful for the loving care and support offered by Three Links Manor during Percy’s last years. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Percy’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, www.cancer.ca.

CHUTSKOFF, MICHAEL Passed away on February 11, 2015 at the age of 86. Dad was born in Veregin, SK on Feb. 26, 1928, son of George and Anne Chutskoff, and was raised in Kamsack, SK. In 1946, the family of 5 moved to Kelowna after persuasion of the oldest son George who had visited the area a year before. Mike, 18 at the time, his father and brother soon started building homes for themselves and expanded to building houses throughout the Kelowna area. And build they did, houses that still stand today and motels that have long been demolished—motels that stood along what is Gordon Road today from Sutherland to Bernard. Soon after arriving, Dad met his soulmate, Mildred, one day when he was picking up his mother from work at the Laurel Packing House and they married July 29, 1950. The 60’s came and the housing market died. As he had a family to feed, Dad decided to become an orchardist and we moved to the Ellison District. After 4 years, Dad went back to what he knew and loved best-building homes, from foundation to roof, rough framing to finishing he single-handedly built them. Seeing Kelowna expand from the 40’s, he knew where to build. He knew the areas where the saw dumped all of the sawdust to be used for fill or areas that were flood prone from periodic high water. So those areas were off limits to him. Dad built his last house in Lakeview Heights and this became the family home. From house construction, Dad started into Commercial Construction and worked for some of the largest construction firms in Kelowna. He put his time in and became foreman and superintendent for projects from schools, banks, wineries, and rec centres to federal buildings. Dad has left to mourn his passing, sons Ken and Rick, both of Kelowna; numerous nieces, nephews and sisters-in-law. He was sadly predeceased by his parents George and Anne Chutskoff, brother George Chutskoff, sister Lorraine Brown, brothers-in-law Alex, George and Boris Kabatoff and Gordon Brown. Our thanks go out to Dr. Erasmus, KGH Emergency Staff and especially to the KGH Staff of 5B who ensured that Dad spent his last days as comfortably as possible. Dad is now with the one with whom he has wanted to be since her passing and that is our Mother. Hopefully he has been greeted by her and all who have passed before him. No service by request. Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to Central Okanagan Hospice Association – Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2Z6. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
