Trustees face hard budget cut decisions

Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Central Okanagan school board trustees are pondering several recommendations to make up for a $1.5 million shortfall in education funding in its 2015 budget, including increasing the amount parents pay to bus their kids to school. The school board’s finance committee heard several cost saving moves from school superintendent Hugh Gloster on Wednesday

night as the district tries to balance its budget by increasing some revenue streams and decreasing expenses. The recommendations at this point are just that, as the school board’s finance committee will meet again next Wednesday for debate before the entire school board decides on what recommendations to follow at its April 29 board meeting. “I think it’s going to be difficult,” said finance committee chair Lee Mossman.

A new documentary raises concerns about the destructive nature of invasive mussel species if allowed to access B.C. waterways. It’s an issue the Okanagan Basin Water Board says needs more action from government. See story A3.

“It’s not going to be an easy thing to do and we’ll try to mitigate the impact to students first and foremost.” When it comes to transportation, it’s being recommended to increase the cost for busing from $10 to $20 per month ($200 per year) a move the district first made in 2009 but then cut in half in subsequent years. However, putting it back to the $20 per

Close-Up

Documentary cites invasive mussel warning Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Imagine if we all woke up tomorrow and the forests of B.C. had been killed off and turned into a vast desert. That’s what a Vernon filmmaker says could happen to our lakes and rivers in a heart-beat should the invasive zebra and quagga mussels arrive in B.C. and infest our waterways. Brynne Morrice, an actor and filmmaker who splits his time between New York and Vernon, has released a six-minute documentary called Mussel Threat, spotlighting the potential dangers of the invasive mussels on B.C. water systems. The $5,000 project was funded through a Kickstarter campaign and released in Kelowna on Wednesday at a press conference held jointly by Morrice and the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB). “These mussels, when they get into a lake or river, they basically turn it into an aquatic desert,” said Morrice via Skype from New York. “If tomorrow, we woke up in B.C. and all of our beautiful green, lush forests had turned into deserts, that would be a pretty catastrophic change to our province. “You have to think of these mussels like that. They turn the water into aquatic deserts. “There is nothing left except these mussels. The communities that have experienced this...there is no going back. “We would be facing a new status quo that we would never heal from and B.C. would be a far less wonderful

A Vernon actor and filmmaker has made a short documentary called Mussel Threat which outlines the potential devastating impact on our lakes and rivers if invaded by the destructive zebra and quagga mussels. place to live and a far less wonderful place to visit.” For the past six months, Morrice, 30, traveled to areas of North America that have suffered from infestations of zebra and quagga mussels. The mussels have been found in Lake Winnipeg, in North Dakota and as close as Nevada, just a day and a half drive to the B.C. border. They can survive outside of water for 10 days or in wet carpet or the bilge area of a boat for up to 30 days. Morrice says it wouldn’t take much for a boat to pass through the border, into B.C. and zebra and quagga mussels would be infesting a local lake, devastating the ecosystem, eating up the plants, killing off native species and polluting the water with the associated algae blooms. In fact it’s nearly happened in our region already. In 2012, a boat

launched into Shuswap Lake with quagga mussels attached to it. Luckily they were dead and did not infest the lake. Then last March, a boat infected by the quagga mussels was stopped at a border crossing at Osoyoos, heading for B.C. waters. “People who really understand, who really get this, are up in arms,” said Morrice. “This is a major issue. This is going to affect the entire province in a profound way. “Our communities in B.C. are built on lakes and rivers and this could be devastating if we had an infestation.” ••• A graduate of W.L. Seaton High School in Vernon, Brynne Morrice was a typical Okanagan resident growing up. His grandmother had a cabin on Shuswap Lake, one of B.C.’s

wasn’t any assertive protective measures being taken on our borders to protect us from the mussels. Having grown up in the valley, what we have here is pretty important, and I was quite honestly frightened about the possibility, and as I looked into it more and more I became even more worried.” With just 20 bucks in his wallet, Morrice approached the OBWB with an idea for a documentary, allowing him to get in touch with experts to interview for the project. He took the idea for the film to the online community using Kickstarter, the webbased funding source which solicits donations from the public. Within three days, he had raised $2,000 and within 30 days that increased to $5,000. He then traveled to

great vacation lakes. He spent his youth fishing, swimming and boating around the Okanagan. As an actor and filmmaker, he has spent the past decade trying to break into the film world, beginning at the Kelowna Actors Studio, progressing to acting school and now to work as an actor in New York, where he spends parts of his year while also spending time back in the Okanagan. During one visit home last year, he read a newspaper article detailing the fight of the OBWB against zebra and quagga mussels. “When I read that newspaper article explaining the frustrations of a group like the Okanagan Basin Water Board, I saw a need for a project like this,” he said of his movie. “After two years of raising alarms there

places in the U.S. that are dealing with the devastating effects of an infestation of the mussels. He saw first-hand what kind of deadly effect they have on lakes and rivers. He talked to people in B.C. who are pushing government to expand its detection policies and increase security at the border with Alberta and at the Canada-US border between B.C. and Washington. What he came away with was enough information for a much larger feature. But he pared it down to six minutes in the hopes more people would see it and hear the message. “I hope it reaches the people who haven’t heard about this before and to the people who have heard about this, I hope it gives them a really clear understanding of what we are talking about,” Morrice said.

“That this is just not a minor little change to our environment that no one will notice. This is a catastrophic upheaval in our fresh water that will affect everybody. “I can say that with confidence having spent six months researching this. Ultimately, I hope the government will really step up and do the maximum. Right now I think they are doing the minimum.” ••• When it comes to government regulations, enforcement and funding to deal with the invasive mussels (as well as other invasive species), there is some movement from government to try and deal with the issues. Earlier this month, the provincial government announced a two-year $1.3 million program that would fund roaming teams to inspect and decontaminate boats identified as a concern either at the Canada-US border or boats coming into B.C. from Alberta. Last December, the federal government announced new invasive species legislation that would make it illegal to bring an invasive species over the border. However, that legislation has yet to make it into law as another boating season begins. It’s a complex issue with multiple jurisdictions including provinces, the federal government, several US states, a group known as the Pacific Northwest Economic Region and local governments all working towards a solution to the increasing problem of invasive species.

McMeeken. He’s a local orchardist, turned investment advisor, turned part-time chocolatier who brought his tasty chocolate cherries to the TED conference in Vancouver last month where, for the first time ever, they had a Taste of B.C. event. “They wanted to have companies come in to give an exceptional sensory experience, from B.C. food products,” McMeeken said. “(TED) had a sweet food, a savoury food and a beverage. The beverage was tea or coffee as they weren’t allowed to serve alcohol at the venue, which was the Vancouver Convention Centre.” The first day at the event was registration, and McMeeken didn’t feel as though he was

able to build many connections as people rushed through. But on the second day he was transferred to Whistler for the TED X conference, and things went much better. There were about 700 people in attendance, and he estimates he spoke to nearly 600 of them. “It went well. It didn’t generate a huge amount of sales, but people enjoyed eating our chocolates when we were there,” he said. Beyond that, he also made some high profile contacts. Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen took their business card, one of the Dragons from the CBC program, the Dragons Den, had two to three visits to the table, and senior people from Microsoft, Twitter

and Google also made contact. Those connections have yet to amount to any new leads, but business is pretty brisk anyway. Already Knights Chocolate can be found in Jim Pattison stores, from Save-On-Foods to Urban Fare. And now they’re starting to get into IGAs. “We’re registered with HY Louie, and that has opened a few more stores for us,” he said. While his chocolate bars have recently started to make money, he’s still not quitting his day job as a stock broker. All in all, pretty impressive for a cherry orchardist who was driven out of farming when fruit values went into the tank in the ‘90s. “That’s when I became an investment advisor,” he said. “Then in 2000, it was an early spring like we have now, and Oregon and Washington froze out, but we were still warm enough and we were fine.” McMeeken then was contacted by a grower across the line who supplied dried cherries to Starbucks, and had been ruined by the weather. “He didn’t want to lose the contract so we sent

our cherries to him,” he said. Once they were dried, he sent some back to McMeeken and a delicious idea was born. “I went to a chocolate company in Vancouver and they made the bark on a cookie sheet,” he said. It was wrapped up in big chunks, and that’s when he got into the big chocolate bar business. “I ran it as a hobby, and made no money for several years…but a year and a half ago it started making money,” he said. “The more we push it the more we make. We’re going in the right direction now.” So much so that his son, who lives in Saskatchewan, is thinking of taking it over— although McMeeken wants him to wait until it’s a real profit powerhouse. As for him, he still enjoys being a stock broker and he still enjoys farming. “Chocolate is fun on weekends but in summer I enjoy it (full-time) and you meet lots of fun people,” he said. “Plus, it’s way easier to sell someone a chocolate bar than it is to sell a mutual fund.” @KelownaNewsKat

As ink dried on a significant agreement between Canada and India, representatives of Kelowna’s tech and agricultural industries made their way to a state dinner with the Indian prime minister with high hopes. Their aim, explained Kelowna Lake Country MP Ron Cannan Thursday, was to learn more about opportunities for expanding their products into the South Asian market. “Basically there are folks from the community

Ron Cannan

who are South Asian, who have an interest in finding, and expanding their trading partners, both from a variety of business and agricultural perspectives,” he said. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was also at the Vancouver event for India Prime Minister Narendra

Modi. It was held a day after they announced a new agreement that will see Saskatchewan-based Cameco Corp. supply India with uranium to fuel the country’s nuclear power facilities. While that deal has earned the vast majority of attention, Cannan said there are a number of other trade bridges being built, among which is the “road map” for freetrade negotiations which they estimated will be concluded by September. Whether that date will be met is unclear as even Harper has been quoted saying, “There are many issues to be resolved.”

With recent successes in China, Okanagan fruit growers are looking toward resolution of all issues with a great deal of interest, which is why Kelowna orchardist Karma Gill is among those who are attending the meeting. He couldn’t be reached Wednesday, but any news he brings back will be met with much enthusiasm. “There have been test shipments into the market, and there is interest in pursuing that,” said Glen Lucas, BC Fruit Growers Association general manager, noting his organization isn’t formally involved with meetings with the Indian prime minister. “Our focus in previous years has been access to China, especially for cherries. We’re going into the second full year of that and the industry is feeling comfortable, so we are now looking at other opportunities for both cherries and apples.” In particular, they’re looking at a growth market for apples, although not too many as the Okanagan apple supply accounts for less than .2 per cent of the world supply. “We would be looking at specialty markets,” Lucas said. “So that could mean we’re just supplying hotels in India.” Another potential opportunity exists with South Korea, he said, noting that a recently penned trade agreement with them should come into effect in the near future. “If they are smaller markets, other places like Washington won’t be able to service them,” he said, noting that their size makes them more nimble than behemoth producers south of the border. India is Canada’s largest trading partner in South Asia, with two-way trade valued at approximately $6.3 billion. Canadian exports to the country totaled about $3.1 billion in 2014 and imports from India almost $3.2 billion. Free-trade negotiations have moved slowly since being launched in late 2010. Coun. Mohini Singh was also at the dinner, said Cannon, noting that Mayor Colin Basran was unable to attend. @kelownanewsKAT

OBWB: Mussel detection efforts still fall short WARNING FROM A3 Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson says government is trying to be proactive on the issue. “We think we have responded with a significant investment,” he said. “This new funding will allow us to build capacity, experience and additional partnerships to expand the program in the future. “It’s part of a perimeter strategy that we continue to develop. I think everyone is nervous (about zebra and

quagga mussels). That’s why there has been a real effort on the part of local governments and others like the Okanagan Basin Water Board to look to the province to put additional resources into the program. “We recognize this is a foundation to build longerterm funding for a sustainable program because the risks will continue to be there.” While the wait is on for the new federal legislation to come into place giving more tools for action against boaters who bring invasive species into B.C., the new roaming teams as well

as information such as highway signs will be in place this year. For the OBWB, the reaction of government on this issue is still not enough. “I think we are still in a position to make sure we are never dealing with what has happened in other areas where the mussels have gone through,” said Juliette Cunningham, OBWB vice-chair. “I think sometimes people think we are exaggerating the issue and I think that’s unfortunate. When the province announced they were putting $1.3 million over two years, we

certainly didn’t feel that was adequate. That’s not what we asked for. “We are asking our borders be manned with the equipment and the training required to make sure (the mussels) never come into our province. “The OBWB feels very strongly that the reaction from government is not strong enough.” You can find out much more on zebra and quagga mussels online at dontmoveamussel.ca Find Morrice’s documentary at https://vimeo.com/125057151.

Why should you be concerned?

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Opinion

West Kelowna votes down pot dispensaries To the editor: After having attended the April 14 West Kelowna municipal council meeting, I came away disappointed, in that there was a majority vote decision that will make it a little easier for our youth to buy marijuana on our streets and in our parks.

LETTER OF THE WEEK The vote was on an amendment to a municipal bylaw which would disallow the business licensing of medicinal marijuana dispensaries in West Kelowna. On the surface, this might seem reasonable, as these alternative health facilities are not the legally recognized way for patients to receive their medication. However, a closer look at this issue is warranted. If the underlying goal of this amendment is to curtail the opening of further medical marijuana dispensaries and,

ultimately, the closure of the existing ones, this council is doing a disservice to both its’ citizens that view these businesses as a valuable resource for their medical needs and, even more importantly, to the wider community in that this amendment will actually increase unrestricted access to marijuana to minors. It defeats any kind of limiting effect council members might hope to bring about in who has access and, under what circumstances. These dispensaries have arisen out of federal prohibition policy. Authorized patients had made their preference for a dispensary system known to Health Canada, prior to the implementation of the federal government’s misguided attempt at cobbling together a supply system that neither adequately serves the needs of Canadian patients and continues to apply prohibitionist policies. Under our current legal access system, a mail order provider is not allowed to provide information regarding the efficacy or use of specific strains. They are not

Universal drug plan would save us billions You may have seen and heard Healing Minds some coverage recently about the claim by PAUL UBC researchers LATIMER that Canada would save billions of dollars if we instituted a national drug plan. A report was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal making this assertion and it rightly attracted a lot of attention and conversation across the country. This is not a new topic—for years some groups and political parties have advocated for universal drug coverage while others have decried the idea saying it would be prohibitively expensive to administer. Canadians are proud of our universal health care system in which everyone can visit a doctor or have a hospital stay without personal cost or private insurance. A drug plan is an extension of this idea—where every Canadian would be covered for medically necessary medications regardless of employment insurance or income. We are currently the only developed country with universal health care that does not have a drug plan

like this. Although it sounds like a very expensive prospect, the current research showed a national drug program would likely cost government approximately $1 billion a year but would save the private sector roughly $8.5 billion a year currently spent on prescription drugs often through employee drug plans. Savings would occur through economies of scale—the government as a large purchaser would save about 10 per cent through better generic prices, 10 per cent on brand name prices and another 10 per cent by encouraging more costeffective prescribing. If Canada managed spending comparable to countries like Switzerland, Italy or Spain and got rates of generic drug use seen in some provincial drug plans, a universal public drug plan would reduce total spending on prescription drugs by $7.3 billion per year. Currently, one in 10 Canadians find medication costs prohibitive. Many Canadians avoid treatments or skip dosages to have their medicine last longer and save money. Some choose life-saving medicine over food in their budgeting. Pharmacare does not cover many medications, particularly newer ones that tend to be more

expensive. Physicians have to spend valuable time applying for special authority to try to get these medications covered, often unsuccessfully. This is happening today in our country and is not acceptable. I think most Canadians want to live somewhere that affords everyone the basic right to health and dignity. Not only would we save money directly through prescription drug costs with a universal drug plan, but we would also save unnecessary acute health care costs. People would be more likely to take medications as recommended and would likely avoid many hospital stays and emergencies resulting from unmanaged conditions and health complications. Right now every province manages its own healthcare dollars. For a national drug plan to work, we would need cooperation between provinces and some direction at a federal level. This may sound daunting but I believe it is possible if we balance individual interests with the benefit a plan such as this would give to all Canadians. I encourage everyone to become an advocate. Change doesn’t happen unless we make it happen. Contact your provincial and federal representatives today. We can have a country with healthcare that is truly accessible for all.

Letters DISTRICT OF WEST KELOWNA

Council wants to be a ‘city’ not ‘district’ To the editor: The District of West Kelowna is a very unique area; no other place in Canada encompasses a self governing Indian band within its boundaries, essentially splitting it in two. Passing the signs along the Hwy. 97 corridor from the Okanagan Lake bridge to Peachland, one sees the magnitude of how this affects the continuity of who we are as a community. Since becoming self-governing only 10 years ago, WFN has surpassed DWK in growth and continues to do so. From the bridge to Boucherie Road is IR #10, a large shopping area with West Harbour becoming a popular place to retire, a proposed hospital, and many more projects to come. This area’s legal name and address is Kelowna, B.C. The main shopping district and residential area is on Westbank First Nation land, IR #9 which spans from Daimler to Gellatly roads and includes land along the lake front and a large acreage on the south side of Gellatly behind A&W. It also surrounds three sides of the Johnson Bentley Pool. The big box

stores such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, London Drugs, Canadian Tire and many other commercial enterprises choosing to locate in Westbank, utilize the legal name and address for these businesses as Westbank. The District of West Kelowna is made up of several different neighbourhoods and according to our mayor and council and the many studies that were undertaken, Westbank has been defined as the cultural, civic and social heart of the District of West Kelowna. This historic area is defined by its sweeping views of the lake and its 112-year history. So why ‘city’ status? The DWK explains their position as follows: Outside British Columbia the term ‘city’ is much more recognizable to investors and new residents looking for a new location for business or home. A change in designation would also help alleviate confusion. There are more than 1,400 businesses located in West Kelowna whereby one would expect the municipality to have a ‘city’ designation.

Additional examples of confusion: ‘city hall’ and ‘city manager’ are commonly used terms. There may be confusion with the term ‘district,’ for example School District #23 and Regional District of Central Okanagan. As a district we encompass every resident including WFN as a whole community. As a city we define who is who. Will it alienate us further from working closely with WFN, rather than unify us as a community? Will it create more issues within our boundaries? The Alternate Approval Process is now in progress. If you are opposed to the municipal designation changing from a district municipality to a city, you can sign an Elector Response Form. If you qualify as an elector of the DWK, Elector Response Forms are available at the DWK office at 2760 Cameron Rd., or can be downloaded from www. westbank.biz, filled in and submitted to the above address before 4 p.m. on May 11, 2015.

of senators misusing their government funds as Mike has done. Maybe our senators are the cause of our massive federal debt since we have no real benefit from their excessive spending. What amount of money has been wasted on our useless senate over the life of its existence? Maybe this is about the amount of our debt? 5. We will never find out why Nigel Wright paid $91,000 to Mike Duffy (from his own account)—do you really believe this? There is more to this story and we will never find out—secrets of our inner government. 6. We will not see any “new” rules for senators written up for the future behaviour of their expense accounts—that would be too simple.

I have to admit, this is good reading and good news. What comes out of this, we will have to wait and see. Maybe one day we will see some kind of reform in the way we vote, i.e. some form of better government with proportional representation. First past the gate is not democratic anymore than appointing friends or favourites to the senate—what a bonus, such luxuries and huge pensions—you may not even have to attend or account for your spending.

allowed to provide pictures. They are not allowed to provide extracts—many of which are shown to be very beneficial and do not get you high—and, they are not allowed to provide edibles for those patients with breathing problems. That’s because prohibitionists developed this system. They don’t believe in medical marijuana and have been forced to allow for it through court decisions. This proposed amendment only puts a local face to that failed policy. Denying and, ultimately, closing our dispensaries does nothing to discourage cannabis use in our community. Rather, it forces a return to private residences, parks, bars—anywhere other than a controlled setting. With dispensaries the municipality has, at least, some assurance that there are age and medical restrictions and that the

medicine is provided in a known setting, subject to local inspection. This proposal is a step backwards in the effective control and regulation of marijuana in West Kelowna. There was no compelling reason for this council to act as federal agents, in this matter. Other municipalities have allowed dispensaries without federal repercussions. There are three in Kelowna, five in Vernon and 81 in Vancouver. I reminded the council that, as part of the UBCM, the legalization and regulation of marijuana, including medical marijuana has been endorsed by that body. None of this seemed to matter, though, so we’re back to no control over who has access, whatsoever. I would encourage those citizens concerned about putting more pot in the hands of our kids to contact the mayor and council regarding this vote. Mark Conlin, West Kelowna

Prediction there will be no charges for Duffy after plucking Senate money tree To the editor: With regards to our senate, I wish to make some predictions: 1. Mike Duffy will not go to jail if he is found guilty. 2. Our government may pay Mike Duffy compensation for his ‘difficulties” just like we did for Mr. Mulroney, I say maybe $3 million might be enough. 3. Senate reform—don’t hold your breath on this, our present system allows people like Mr. Harper, to be acting dictator while he is in power. Don’t hold your breath waiting for a referendum with regards to keeping or abolishing the senate. 4. In the life of our country, Canada, our government will not admit to prior scandals

If you own, lease or otherwise occupy private property containing a gas burning fireplace, fireplace insert or heating stove from one of the Settling Defendants identified below, your legal rights could be affected. Under a proposed class action settlement, those Settling Defendants are offering barriers intended to prevent burns from the hot glass fronts. Further information is below. NOTICE* OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AND CERTIFICATION OF A CLASS ACTION INVOLVING CERTAIN GAS BURNING FIREPLACES, FIREPLACE INSERTS AND STOVES TO: ALL PERSONS IN CANADA WHO OWN, LEASE OR OTHERWISE OCCUPY PRIVATE PROPERTY CONTAINING A FIREPLACE FROM ONE OF THE SETTLING DEFENDANTS DESCRIBED BELOW CERTIFICATION A lawsuit commenced in British Columbia has been certified as a class action against CANADIAN HEATING PRODUCTS INC., MILES INDUSTRIES LTD., MONESSEN HEARTH CANADA, INC., and MONESSEN HEARTH SYSTEMS COMPANY (doing business as VERMONT CASTINGS GROUP) (the “Settling Defendants”), by the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”). WHAT IS THE LAWSUIT? It is an action concerning the risk of burns from contacting the hot glass fronts of some gas burning fireplaces. WHAT IS THE SETTLEMENT? Under a proposed settlement, the Settling Defendants have agreed to provide, free of charge, barrier screens or screen kits for certain of their Fireplaces to reduce the burn risk. WHO IS INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT? All persons in British Columbia, plus all persons elsewhere in Canada who choose to “opt in”, who have one of the Settling Defendants’ gas fireplaces, inserts or stoves (“Fireplaces”) in their home that was installed between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2014. Class Members shall exclude non-natural persons and those natural persons whose Fireplace is located outdoors or is in business or commercial use. If you live in British Columbia and have such a Fireplace you are automatically included in the class action settlement, unless you choose to exclude yourself (opt out). If you live elsewhere in Canada you may choose to opt into the settlement. You should immediately review the full legal notice in this matter to ensure that you understand your legal rights. Further details on the proposed settlement and on opting in and opting out are available via the telephone numbers and email & website addresses set out in this notice. Opt in requests MUST BE SUBMITTED within one year of notice that the Court has approved the settlement. If your request is not received in time it will not be considered valid.

Contemporary dance fans are in for a treat this month as Ballet Kelowna puts on its final show at the Kelowna Community Theatre for the 2014-15 season. The performance is called Forward: A Mixed Repertory Programme, and features works choreographed by some of Canada’s best contemporary choreographers. The night is divided into three sections, some with more than one dance, and includes both world and company dance premiers. Three of these dances were created for, and won, the Clifford E. Lee Choreography Award, a prize created by the Banff Centre to encourage new creations by Canadian choreographers. Sophie Gardner, the senior communications

coordinator at Laura Murray Public Relations, said this show is a “really nice way” to end the season. “I think it’s a really nice way for people to see exactly what the company does, see its dancers at work, and see how hard they work,”Gardner said. “It’s a nice opportunity to support choreographers and dancers, and it’s the opportunity to see two brand new dance works.” Simone Orlando is the creator of Lux, one of the dances that will be performed during Forward. The accompanying music is by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who Orlando said is “the master of quick, energetic, and classically structured music.” “I wanted the work to be quick, bright, and energetic, and very much based in classical ballet,” she explained.

Jedidiah Duifhuis (right) and Christina Cecchini dance together during a ballet performance. This month, Ballet Kelowna puts on its final performance of the 2014-15 season.

“I personally love allegro, which means jump, and petit allegro in particular.” She explained petit allegro consists of quick movements where dancers “spring” incredibly quickly from foot to foot. Her love of the style encouraged her to include it in the choreography for Lux. The performance takes place on Friday, April 24, 7:30 p.m., at Kelowna Community Theatre.

“The piece really challenges the dancers to move very quickly, and it shows off their technical abilities as ballet dancers.” Orlando, who is also the chief executive officer and artistic director of Ballet Kelowna, said Forward is a great opportunity for people to come see the “beauty and technique” of Ballet Kelowna’s dancers. “The thing I really like about ballet is it provides versatility,” Orlando said.

WHAT IF I WISH TO COMMENT ON OR OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT? The settlement must be approved by the Court before it can become effective. An application to approve the settlement will be heard by the Court at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia at 10:00 a.m. on May 19, 2015. If you fit the above description you are entitled to appear and make submissions at the settlement approval hearing. If you wish to comment on or make an objection to the settlement, a written submission must be delivered to Class Counsel at the address listed below, postmarked no later than May 5, 2015. If you do not do so, you may not be entitled to participate in the settlement approval hearing. WHAT IF I DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE? If you live in British Columbia and you fit the class definition but do not wish to participate in the class action, you must submit a written request to opt out of the class action to: Crawford Class Action Services (the “Administrator”) Suite 3-505, 133 Weber Street North Waterloo, ON N2J 3G9 Toll Free: 1-877-739-8933 Fax: 519-578-4016 Email: fireplaceclassaction@crawco.ca Opt out requests MUST BE SUBMITTED BY May 11, 2015.

A GP for Me

1986.

Great year for mullets. Not your walls.

The mother of four wonderful kids and best friend and loving partner to her (pre-deceased) husband Charlie Banner, Rae was the epitome of kindness and comfort. A fun-loving, witty, and truly remarkable woman, Rae made friends with every person she met. From her birthplace in Penticton to her longtime home in Vernon, her legion of admirers was massive. I am not aware of one person who did not like Rae Banner. Active in her community especially with her choir group, Rae also loved golf, cards and her garden. She also owned an amazing talent for seeing right through people. A gift I am sure she was not always pleased to possess since she genuinely liked

folks. Rae was my rock, especially after my mom died. Next to my dear mom, no one was there for me like Rae, without question. She was my special kin member who always believed, had my back, supported my dreams, suffered my sorrows, and celebrated my victories. Selfishly stated, I have lost my long-time champion. Mom and Rae were inseparable sisters for good reason. Both of them could talk the ear off a cob of corn. In fact, the only person I know who could possibly talk more than my mother was perhaps Rae. When my mother got on the telephone with her only (thank goodness) sister, my father could have gone fishing and never been missed— seasons could come and go; food could mould or rot. It was beyond the rest of the related families how two people could possibly talk together for so long, so often and not tire of it, but they did. When they were not talking they were laughing. I will always remember my Auntie Rae for her

news _____________________________________ HODGE FROM A16 rosy cheeks, bright eyes and joyful laugh. Heaven had better get plenty of earplugs because Mom and Rae are back together. ••• The start of the National Hockey League playoff season dictates it’s time for my annual, fun filled, spell-binding, ridiculously cheap, highly eventful, chalked with chuckles, hockey ritual known as Stupid Playoff Predictions by Charlie. This is when and where I make outrageous predictions about who will rise and fall in the upcoming battle-royal for the Stanley Cup. Readers get to extend the agony of this dissertation by ripping or cutting out this list of

predictions and sticking it (ahem) on a fridge or similar location for later reference. As the playoffs progress (and my suggestions look sillier and sillier), you and your friends can laugh at me, draw funny mustaches on my mug shot, and all the other sorts of things that grown men do when it comes to hockey pools and sportsmanship. Laughing and reacting to my prediction list can be considered as a form of a participation sport. With NHL parity between the 30 clubs at an all-time best, there are no clear cut winners in any of the eight match ups between the 16 qualifying teams. Literally, any club can win all the marbles this year. That’s wonderful for

hockey fans and hell for the odds makers in Vegas. So, here is my NHL playoffs prophecy. In the Western Conference, Vancouver will defeat Calgary in seven games, St. Louis over Minnesota in six, Nashville over Chicago in seven and Anaheim over Winnipeg in seven. In the East, it will be Montreal over a spirited Ottawa in six, Tampa destroying Detroit in five, New York Rangers taking Pittsburgh in six, and the Islanders edging Washington in six. The second round will see Vancouver defeat Anaheim in six and St. Louis edge Nashville in seven. In the Western final, St. Louis will take Vancouver in six. Second round in the

“Natural Healing Remedies Workshop”

East will see Tampa defeat Montreal in six and Rangers edge Islanders in seven. In the Eastern final Rangers will survive Tampa in seven. Finally, St. Louis will edge battered and weary Rangers in five for the cup. New York Rangers defenceman Keith Yandle or St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko will win the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs MVP. So there you are and for goodness sake—don’t risk a penny on any of these predictions.

Amanda Brownschlaigle-Miller was working her third day at Metalsmiths in Orchard Park shopping centre, when she read a text message from her friend that there was a fire at Sears on the other side of the mall. “It was about 1:45 p.m. (Wednesday), and she told me the store had been shut down because of a fire,” she said, noting that signs to that effect had gone up as doors were shuttered. Then, an hour later, all mall staff were given the order to lock up and file outside, along with all of the customers who were shopping. It wasn’t the easiest task to herd shoppers out, with so little information, said Riley Hannan of EB Games. But he managed, and by the time he found his way outside where hundreds of other mall employees were gathered, he learned it was a bomb threat. That sparked a bit of deja vu, given he had already gone through the process of a bomb threat last year. “At least it’s warm out this time,” he joked, as helicopters buzzed overhead. Key holders at mall stores had to linger as police worked to figure out what was what. City buses were rolled in, just in case

somebody needed to sit down. Some were air conditioned and covered, but other than that shoppers and staff were on their own. Many were still there until the RCMP bomb crew from Vancouver arrived just after 7 p.m.. What they discovered, said Cpl. Joe Duncan, was that the package was indeed “suspicious.” “There were no explosives in it, but there were incendiaries,” he said. “It was found by a store employee when it was on fire, and they put it out, but when our members attended they looked at it and called in the explosives unit.” They came and agreed that it looked like a problem. “They said it’s something very suspicious and destroyed it,” Duncan said. So, what was suspicious? That question remains unanswered. All Duncan could confirm was that the smoking package wasn’t explosive in nature. While the suspicious non-bomb kept police in Kelowna busy, just a couple of hours away in Kamloops a similar scenario was playing out. Threatening calls to a Kamloops elementary—along with other schools across the province—from a blocked

news _____________________________________________________________________ LOCKDOWN FROM A20 source prompted school officials to bus children out of the vicinity. Add to that recent bomb fears at Kelowna’s armoury as well as a recent scare at a Penticton elementary school, one might think the Interior has gone a little bombthreat crazy. Not so, said Duncan. “People are just more perceptive to suspicious packages with the way things are nowadays,” he said. “You just have to watch the national news,

or CNN to see why they are more concerned.” In the meantime, they’re on the lookout for the person who caused the problem with his smoking package. Kelowna RCMP are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the person. The suspect is described as: • Caucasian • 5’9 – 6’0 (175 cm to 182 cm) • Average build • Wearing glasses • Dark jacket • Dark baseball cap with white lettering on

Alpine vehicle use restrictions in effect Users of off-road vehicles, including ATV riders, are reminded to obey new alpine vehicle restrictions now in place. Prohibitions under the Wildlife Act now require all motor vehicles (excluding snowmobiles) operating above 1,700 metres in the Thompson and Okanagan regions to stay on existing road and trails. Regional sensitive alpine habitats support unique ecological plant communities and provide important summer and spring habitat for grizzly bear, mule deer, mountain goats and sheep. There has been an increase in off-road vehicle use in these areas, hence the new “stay on roads and trails” restrictions. An existing road or trail is defined as a road or trail with a paved surface; a cross-country or downhill ski route marked in a ski area by the owner of the ski area; a road used for logging or mining; a road or trail used for access to fences, power lines, wind generators, or communication towers; a trail on which there is no vegetation except on a strip that, if present, can be straddled by a four-wheel vehicle.

Cool Arts receives funding from UBCO fine arts fundraiser

Thanks to all of our volunteers! Board of Directors Office Admin Impact Teams

Cool Arts has received $2,000 from the VACU (Visual Arts Course Union) through the UBC Okanagan department of creative and critical studies. The grant will come from a percentage of the proceeds raised from their annual Art On the Line fundraiser, which raises money to help UBCO students with their annual field trip and year-end exhibition. “Myself and the UBCO’s Visual Arts Course Union knew we wanted to donate to a local, independent organization,” said Connor Charlesworth, coordinator of this years’ Art on the Line. “We students were first exposed to Cool Arts through professor Carolyn MacHardy’s second year art history class, and we all felt that it was a perfect fit to receive the donation because of their dedication to fostering

community through art.” “As a grassroots group, we are very appreciative of the generosity of these students,”said Cool Arts board president Shauna Oddleifson. “We’re honoured. This is the fourth time they have chosen to donate some of the proceeds from their successful fundraiser. It’s so exciting to have the students recognize Cool Arts for their community impact—and in turn for the students to support these artists means a lot.” Cool Arts is dedicated to providing fine arts opportunities to adults with developmental disabilities living in the Central Okanagan. As part of their art

activities, Cool Arts artists work on individual pieces in their supported studio; but also work collaboratively with local artists on public art projects. Last summer’s project saw the group working with local professional artist Wanda Lock to add Gaudi-inspired mosaic tilework to the community garden beds on St. Paul St. in Kelowna. “It was a great community project. We had people from the neighbourhood stop by and learn about Gaudi’s art and some people even donated sentimental pieces they’d wanted us to incorporated in the mosaic,” said Oddleifson.

Jackson Whistle (right) and the Kelowna Rockets will try to eliminate Brandon Magee and the Victoria Royals from the WHL playoffs when the teams meet in Game 5 Friday at Prospera Place.

Rockets a win from conference final Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

After seven straight playoff wins, it just might be the law of averages caught up with the Kelowna Rockets. But even though Wednesday’s loss prevented them from

a sweep of the Victoria Royals, the Rockets are still very much in the driver’s seat in their second-round WHL playoff series. Kelowna returns home to its fans tonight for Game 5 with a 3-1 lead, and a chance to move on to the Western

Conference final for the second year in a row. “We have to make sure we bring our A game because we certainly don’t want to go back to Victoria,” Rockets’ head coach Lambert said. “It’s a small bump in the road, certainly nothing to panic about.

Sure it would have been nice to sweep, but in a hockey season you’re not going to win 80 games in a row. We’ve been a team that’s rebounded well all year, so if we can do that and win (Friday) obviously we’ll be in good shape.” The Rockets had built up a 3-0 series

lead before the Royals averted elimination with a 5-4 overtime victory on Wednesday at Save on Foods Memorial Centre. Kelowna led 4-2 midway in the third period before a pair of quick goals turned the tide in Victoria’s favour. While not being as

sharp as usual on the power play (0-for-8), Lambert wasn’t unhappy with his team’s overall effort. “To be honest, I thought we didn’t give them a whole lot,” he said. “We had a lot of opportunities to put them away, but didn’t. Until that third period, I thought we were in a good position. But then they score two goals in 24 seconds and that’s the difference. It’s playoff hockey…it happens.” On the upside, the Rockets still have three chances to put the Royals away. Understandably, Lambert hopes the Rockets can get the job done on their next try on Friday night in front of what should be a vocal and supportive hometown audience. “It should be a lot of fun,” he said. “Victoria’s a good team that’s making us work for things. The fans will be behind us,

so the guys should be excited to play.” Defenceman Josh Morrissey and forward Justin Kirkland both sat out Wednesday’s game for the Rockets with lower body injuries and remain day-to-day. A sixth game in the series, if needed, would be played Sunday in Victoria. Game 7, if necessary, would be back in Kelowna next Tuesday night. Meanwhile, Leon Draisaitl and Tyson Baillie continue to lead the Rockets’ offensive attack in the post-season.

Kelowna’s Neil to join Heat women’s volleyball It was a toss-up decision for Tessa Neil coming out of highschool—either play on the beach or stay on the court for university volleyball. The 5-foot-11 outside hitter from KSS opted for the latter and will stay in Kelowna to play for Steve Manuel and the UBC Okanagan women’s team. “In my last year I just realized court was more my passion,” said Neil, who moved to Kelowna from the Lower

Mainland in 2013. “I always wanted to come play for UBC Okanagan.

RXK1745

(My family and I) used to come to Kelowna all of the time when I was young. It has always been a place I have loved.” The Junior Heat member spent her senior year of high school with the Kelowna Secondary Owls, developing a relationship with her new coach Steve Manuel while getting to watch UBCO’s furious assent to top of the Canada West standings. “I’ve been able to practice with the team

a couple of times, and I really enjoy (Manuel’s) coaching style,” Neil added. “They seem like a great group.” Neil will be sliding in as a power hitter for Manuel and the Heat following a successful high-school career. She was a 17U Provincial Club champion and the tournament’s MVP in 2014, working her way to a tournament all-star nomination at the UBC Okanagan Heat High School Invitational. Out on the sand, she

won back-to-back silver medals at the national championships in 20132014 after grabbing the bronze in 2012. The new Heat member brings some international experience with her as well. She was a gold medalist at the Florida Volleyball Tour AAU U18 championships in 2014, and placed fifth overall with her club team at the U16 USA beach championships in 2013. Neil previously played club for Seaside Volleyball

before playing with the Junior Heat. Manuel has confirmed his plans to use Neil as a powerful offensive tool, but praised his recruit’s overall game as well. “I believe that she has all the tools to be a great power hitter at the next level,” the coach said, also calling Neil a “great passer with great touch on the ball.” while also saying that she “shows incredible poise on serve receive and is a solid defender.”

Neil has applied for both the human kinetics and management programs at UBC Okanagan, but has admitted a preference towards management. “It will be a big change,” Neil said of her jump to the next level in her athletic and academic pursuits. “It will be a lot more busy. I like how it’s a smaller campus, and that it is close to home.” @capnewsports.ca

For every one 18 players on the Kelowna Cubs, there is no fear of riding the bench for a prolonged stretch of time. One of five new teams this season in the B.C. Midget AAA Baseball League, the Cubs’ coaching staff has instituted a policy of equal opportunity. “We have 42 games this season and everybody is going to get lots of playing time,” said Cubs’ head coach Rob Law. “Each player is guaranteed two starts in a four-game weekend. We don’t want to see any kids sitting.” With a number of skilled young players looking for a place to play, and the recent dissolution of the Okanagan Athletics junior program, Law said the Cubs offer an ideal opportunity to play some quality ball and have fun at the same time. “It’s our mission to help build and develop athletes and players and to provide these kids with a positive experience,” added Law, “We’re also here to see that these guys have fun while

playing at an elite level.” The Cubs are the first Kelowna-based team to play at the provincial midget AAA level in seven seasons when the Rutland Rockies last fielded a club in 2008. The West Kelowna Diamondbacks are now in the fourth year after joining the league in 2012. The Cubs’ initiation to the B.C. midget AAA league was a positive one as Kelowna swept a doubleheader from the Vernon Canadians last weekend. Naz Prowse picked up the win and Dante Dennis earned the save as the Cubs won the opener 4-3. Keaton Meier had two hits and a triple, and Taylor DeGruchy had two hits and two RBIs. In Game 2, Brandon Mallum-Kunz had two RBIs and scored three teams, while Noah Ringness-Law had three hits and three steals. Dante Dennis earned the win. All in all, Coach Law likes what’s he seen early from his young team and is excited about the remainder of the season “I feel like we have a pretty good ball club and

Law is assisted by Trent Kuntz, while Mike Senger works with the Cubs as a consultant. The Cubs will play their first ever home openers this weekend when they host Ridge Meadows on Saturday at 1 and 4 p.m. at Lombardy Park.

WEST KELOWNA DIAMONDBACKS…

The West Kelowna Diamondbacks were fast out of the gate, sweeping a doubleheader from Aldergrove last weekend on the Lower Mainland. Solid starting pitching efforts from Nathaniel Woods and Connor Runnels led the D-Backs to 14-1 and 9-1 victories. Michael Gini hit a tworun home run in the opener, while Gini, Jacob Holland, Ty Leoppke and Ben Dojohn each scored twice. In Game 2, Carter Martens scored a pair of runs, with seven other D-Backs players chipping in with a run each. This weekend at Boucherie field, West Kelowna (2-0) will host the Tri City Indians for two on Saturday, and Ridge Meadows for a doubleheader on Sunday. West Kelowna has 17 players, with 11 being either in their first of second years with the team. “While the team is young, we still expect this team to be very competitive this year,” said D-Backs coach Tom Katelnikoff.

THOMPSON OKANAGAN SOCCER

The Kelowna United U16 girls kicked off the 2015 Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League campaign on the right foot with a 2-0 victory Sunday over Vernon. Avery Lawrence opened the scoring on the Mission artificial turf field, before Brooklyn Kostiuk passed to Jordan Orsted who scored for a two-goal lead. Despite playing with an injury, Fiona Reha earned the shutout for United. Although playing out of her normal position of goalie, Regan Medley was strong on both offense and defense. Among other opening weekend games for United: • U14 boys—United 4 Shuswap 1 Christopher Vandenheuvel opened the scoring assisted by the one-touch passes from Jagger Thomas and Braeden Cangiano. Harry Bortolon provided an exceptional feed on the games second goal to Cam Sorensen who volleyed a shot into the bottom left corner. Sorensen scored his second of the match

fed by a beautiful passing play between Jonah Donahue and Cangiano for the game’s third goal. The fourth KU goal was a precision through ball from Bortolon right to the boot of Cangiano who sidestepped the onrushing keeper to smoothly deposit the final goal of the match into the back of the net. Coleton Smith and Gavin Edall shared the goaltending duties. • U12 boys—United 8 Kamloops 2; United 10 Shuswap 2 The Kelowna U12 boy Spartans had a stellar season opener with a win over Kamloops White on Sunday. Tobin Woodworth buried one in the back of the net after some solid tic tack toe passing with Camden Elkin for the forth point, and demonstrating that pressuring the goalie can pay off, Colby Yurkiw made an addition to the score sheet. Game 2 of the season for the Spartans was a well played game of restraint with a solid victory over Shuswap. There were no hats on the field, but there could have been as Colby Yurkiw

In the semifinal, Lindsay Lalach and Erin Graham scored in a 2-1 victory over the Mt. Boucherie Bears. “Overall the tournament really served as a jumping off point for the season as things start to get kicked into high gear,” said Mustangs coach Paul Freire, who is assisted this season by Todd Penkala and Kayla Ungaro. “It allowed for some much needed playing time for some of our players, while providing me a chance to try some things out.” In the bronze medal game Saturday, the Bears needed a shootout to edge the KSS Owls 2-1.

pumping for a duration in excess of 30 minutes, this applies to you. I feel this question I always ask is most crucial in determining your ability overcome the rigours and demands of endurance training is: How much protein do you take in per day? On average, 80 per cent of the population does not know this amount. For an athlete, protein is the most important food item needed to allow for tissue repair and muscle building. Our muscles are made up of amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks for protein. Our body does not make amino acids or protein as a rule, therefore, we need it from our diet. Most find it surprising that endurance athletes need more protein than do bodybuilders. By the sheer nature of endurance sports, we break down our protein, or muscles by the repetitive-high needs demands of endurance activities.

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL For instance, a runner, would break down their protein in their muscles every time they train hard. Well, that muscle is not only going to need to be replaced, but you will need even more protein to have an adaptation, or building response. This is why we train; to get stronger and faster. To deplete your dietary intake of protein is entering into a futile cycle. You will never improve and you run a much higher chance of contracting an injury. In addition, protein is also very important in maintaining a strong immune system. Without it, you are more susceptible to getting sick. How much protein is the necessary amount for a proper training and adaptation response? Dr. Maro DePasquale, an exercise physiologist,

has spent his career answering just this question. His research out of the Boston Medical Centre suggests that the endurance athlete should ingest a dietary equivalent of one to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass. This is you minus your fat. The trick is in knowing what has what amount of protein. How much does an egg have, a chicken breast, a can of tuna, etc? It is easy enough to look up. Become a label reader—it is often some of the most important reading you will do. So, if you are an endurance athlete, do not go to the trouble of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Make sure you monitor and supplement you protein appropriately. My athletes now know protein intake could be your edge. After all, a Ferrari is no good without gas, is it? Markus Thiel is a sports therapist, athletic trainer and doctor of chiropractic in Kelowna.

Women and girls in bright saris marched down a rural road near Jaipur to mark a Hindu holiday.

In India, finding peace amid the maelstrom contributor

On our second morning in Rajasthan, we awoke to the sound of birds chattering, vendors barking and taxis beeping in the lane below our window. It was the merry din of an Indian city waking up to a busy day. We rolled over, relished the cool serenity of our hotel room, and resolved to take the morning off from being tourists. And why not? Our “hotel” was a 16th century Rajput palace—an elegant compound of shaded cloisters, winding stone passageways and domed turrets. In short, a museum in itself. Without realizing it, we had devised a strategy for coping with India.

Rare peace and quiet found in garden parks INDIA FROM A29 rickshaw, we were soon ready for some peace and quiet. We found it in Lodi Gardens, a quiet, stately park in south Delhi. Its winding paths, lined with magnolias and boxwoods, are popular with joggers and walkers in the morning mist, and soon you fall into their meditative pace.

But the park also opens another chapter of Indian history, for it is dotted with handsome tombs built by the Sayyid and Lodi sultanates, the royal families that preceded the Moguls. Though we sought Lodi Gardens as an antidote to urban hubbub, it was so beautiful that I would add it to my list of must-visit sights in Delhi.

JAIPUR

On the day we visited Jaipur’s great Amer Fort, our guide was in a hurry. The elephants go off duty at 11 a.m.—before the heat of the day—and if we wanted a ride we had to get there early. Assured that the elephants are not mistreated but feeling more than a little sheepish, we climbed aboard a

The narrow streets of Mumbai’s market neighbourhoods are a riot of colours and scents. great grey mount for a winding, swaying and unforgettable climb to the fort’s high ramparts. Of all the palaces we saw during 18 days in India, this was the showstopper—a hilltop fortress that overlooks its own artificial lake and an abandoned medieval village below. It was in this palace, begun by Rajah Man Singh in 1592, where the Moguls’ signature architecture met Hindu motifs of lotuses and elephant heads, where royals cavorted in mirrored chambers and water-cooled gardens. From its upper towers you look down not just on ceremonial plazas and royal apartments, but on fortified walls that climb up and down the Aravali hills so far into the distance that you think you’re looking at the Great Wall of China. Even a palace, however, can get

crowded. When the tour was over, we retired to a palace of our own, two hours away in the village of Deogarh. The Deogarh Mahal, built in 1670 by one of the district’s 16 feudal families, today operates as one of India’s many “heritage hotels,” genuine royal palaces that have been converted for tourists. Others are more elegant—the Samode Haveli in Jaipur, for example, or the unforgettable Lake Palace in Udaipur. As evening closed in, we sat on one of the mahal’s countless rooftop terraces, a fire burning in a caldron as two young women in saris and ankle bells swirled through a Rajasthani dance. The waiter came around with spicy snacks and cool drinks, the fire crackled and sparked, and by the time darkness fell, we felt recharged for the next day’s plunge.

Çulture ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

‘Funniest man in Canada’ coming to Kelowna Derek Edwards’ new comedy show, Baloney and Wine, is a romp through the increasingly strange quirks of our daily routines. It’s relentless and brazen, a tightly woven running commentary about human nature what Edwards calls “the thinking man’s coffee break.” From Vegas to St. John’s, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite. Certainly his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee, and winner of Best Standup Comic - Canadian Comedy Awards, as well as a multiple Gemini nominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer said, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.” Tickets for Edwards’ show went on sale this week, available at all Ticketmaster outlets— call 855-985-5000 or go online to ticketmaster.ca.

COMEDY Derek Edwards Sunday, April 26 7:30 p.m. Kelowna Community Theatre

Canadian comedian Derek Edwards will bring his standup routine to the Kelowna Community Theatre stage on Sunday, April 26. The Jersey Boys, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and Drama Desk Awardwinning composer/ lyricist Andrew Lippa, the frightfully delightful world of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Wednesday, Pugsley and Lurch come to life. In this new story, based on the characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams, the family is put to the test when outsiders come to dinner, hurling them into a night that will permanently change their lives. In a prolific career spanning six decades, Charles Addams created several thousand cartoons, sketches and drawings, many of which were published in The New Yorker. But it was his creation of The Addams Family characters that brought him his greatest acclaim.

His unique drawings combined the twisted, macabre and just plain weird with charm, wit and enchantment. They have entertained millions worldwide and served as the inspiration for multiple television series, motion pictures and, now, a new stage musical. After recently performing Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and Albin/Zaza in La Cages Aux Folles, award winning artistic managing director, Randy Leslie returns to the Kelowna Actors Studio stage to play Gomez. Morticia will be played by Lyndsey Wong who portrayed Madame Thenardier in Les Miserables, Marta in Stephen Sondheim’s Company, and as numerous roles in ShrekThe Musical. Appearing as the

parents of Wednesday’s love interest, Mal and Alice Beineke, are Casey Easton and Delphine Litke. Easton recently appeared as Fagin in Oliver, and Smudge in KAS’ recent successful run of Forever Plaid. Marisa Piattelli plays Wednesday Addams. Her past credits include numerous musicals as well appearing as Zaneeta Shinn in Music Man. She is currently preparing for the role of Ariel in the Performance Troupe’s Footloose. The fantastically funny Ron Green will take on the role of the incorrigible Uncle Fester. Green has appeared on the KAS stage numerous times, including Oliver, Music Man, La Cages Aux Folles, and My Fair Lady. Audience favourite Mac Mackay is Wednesday’s love interest Lucas Beineke while Janet Sorestad is the cynical Grandma. Recently seen as Mr. Bumble in Oliver, newcomer Neil Johnson portrays the shambling, gloomy Lurch. Director and executive producer for the production of the The Addams Family is Nathan Flavel, joined by assistant director Margaret Gobie. Flavel has directed and choreographed several shows for the Actors Studio including Les Miserables, Miracle on 34th Street, Sweet Charity and White Christmas. Resident music director Roslyn Frantz continues her outstanding work on this production, and the zany choreography is mastered by Jennifer Davies. The showtimes are Wednesday to Sunday, 8 p.m. (dinner at 6 p.m.).

Entertainment

IN THE LOOP Saturday matinees will be at 1 p.m. Tickets for The Addams Family are on sale now at the KAS ticket booth in Orchard Park Shopping Centre, next to the Rogers Wireless and across the hall from Cinnzeo. MUSIC Sam Weber April 18 Streaming Cafe 596 Leon Ave. Kelowna You can’t slow down a road dog. After the release of his debut LP last summer and extensive touring throughout the fall, Victoria native Sam Weber is heading back out on his first national tour. Weber is known for his personal touch with fans, whether it be his notorious intimate performances, his recent performance video series giving fans a glimpse into his life, or his personal posts of love and appreciation via social media. The second feature track from his latest album Shadows In The Road is a feel-good, upbeat tune called “Right Hearted.” Weber directed the video for the song himself. Weber will be back in Kelowna this summer to perform at the Bottega Music Festiva.

MUSIC Laila Biali Saturday, April 18 Minstrel Cafe 4638 Lakeshore Rd. Kelowna Laila Biali is probably best known for her jazz music—she has been awarded SOCAN Composer of the Year, and Keyboardist of the Year at Canada’s National Jazz Awards. She also received a Juno nomination for Best Vocal Jazz Album for her 2011 album, Tracing Light. Now she’s about to release a new album, House of Many Rooms, this month. The album shows a new side to Biali’s musical style, seeing her venture into a more pop-oriented sound. It’s also her first album of entirely original material, and her first time arranging for a gospel choir and string orchestra. “House of Many Rooms is about the living spaces we construct inside our own hearts and minds,” Biali said. “We form and store dreams and memories of the people who have touched us— lovers, friends, family, even strangers—and place them inside these partitioned rooms, where their stories are transformed as we

ourselves evolve and change. “The process of bringing these stories to life through song has been arduous but deeply rewarding. “I’ve not poured more effort, time, tears and passion into any other project to date, and it took years for me to find the courage to share this music with the world. I hope it moves those who hear it.” CONCERT Before Gadgets: Music of 17th Century France Sunday, April 19 7:30 p.m. Mary Irwin Theater in the Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna Most people think that cult figures in music are a recent phenomenon, but near the end of the 1600s in France, a group of musicians rose to become the best-paid performers of their time. The aristocrats of France had long before given up playing music themselves, but had long evenings to fill, creating a market for a class of great composers and players of solo music for the harpsichord, the lute and a new toy—the guitar. For the upcoming concert at the Mary Irwin Theatre, Early Music Studio gives this period new life. Professional musicians Clive Titmuss and Susan Adams specialize in this virtuoso music, created for wealthy patrons and their discriminating ears. The music languished in obscurity for centuries until it was recently rediscovered. According to Titmuss, “Very few people were

entertainment_____________________________ EVENTS FROM A32 privileged to hear these extraordinary works when they were written, but anyone may enjoy them now.” The harpsichord was the most important keyboard instrument— sophisticated technology, full of resources, elegant and commanding. It inspired an entire generation of composers to write works of art intended to highlight its power. Just then, the French lute style reached its peak, just as the guitar began to gain favour. The trends crossed over. Guitar tricks showed up in lute music and the elevated mood of the lute was heard in the best guitar music. Flashy music for the harpsichord copied both instruments and contributed new tricks of its own. Audiences will be able to hear just how this brilliant cross-pollination worked, when lute, the orbo, early guitar and harpsichord share the stage. Early Music Studio is a not-for-profit society, which has called Kelowna home for 13 years, advancing the knowledge of 17th and 18th Century music in the community.

Opening at the Paramount Theatre, True Story also stars Oscar nominee Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Ethan Suplee and Gretchen Mol. Also at the Paramount Theatre this weekend is the big screen presentation of the Royal Ballet’s Swan Lake. Anthony Dowell’s production of the most famous of Tchaikovsky’s ballets shows on Saturday, April 18, at 10 a.m. with

an encore showing on Monday, April 27, at 6:30 p.m. With Earth Day coming up on April 22, Disney is releasing its latest nature documentary this weekend. Monkey Kingdom follows a newborn monkey and its mother as they struggle to survive within the competitive social hierarchy of the Temple Troop, a dynamic group of monkeys who live in ancient ruins found deep in the storied jungles of Southeast Asia. Narrated by Tina Fey, a portion of the ticket price will go to Conservation

International on opening week. And finally, Unfriended is the latest horror movie from the producer of Paranormal Activity and uses Internet bullying as the basis of its terror. One year after the suicide of a bullied classmate, six high school students receive Skype messages that threaten their lives. What at first appears to be a prank turns out to be an unseen figure who seeks vengeance for a shaming video that led to the suicide. LCC163-GM@ landmarkcinemas.com

The middle GS and top GT trim come with the more powerful 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinder. The GS can be equipped with FWD or AWD and all GT models come standard with AWD. What sets this apart from the competition is the handling and dynamic feel Mazda bakes into its products. The CX-5 can be thrown into corners with true confidence but the suspension is never jarring. The GS and GT also come standard with a sport setting for the transmission that is too aggressive for daily use. The base setting works the best and when more power is needed, I tended to flick the transmission to manual mode for a more precise experience.

Surrey resident Linda Webster is now the proud owner of a Nissan LEAF, as the winner of our Plug-In to Win contest. “I’m so excited because I’ve taken an interest in electric cars for some time but never dreamed I would own one,” said Linda, as she clutched the keys outside of Jonker Nissan, in Langley. “I’m going to really enjoy seeing how much I can get out of each charge… I’ll let you know!” With a range of in excess of 120 kilometres on a full charge, Linda figures she will be able to visit friends and family in Vancouver. British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly supplied us with the eco-friendly sedan for the contest, which attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries, the biggest Black Press contest ever. The five-seater car was displayed at the SCRAP-IT booth at the recent Vancouver International Auto Show, where it attracted thousands of admiring looks. SCRAP-IT announced its new S C RAP-IT incentive program in Driveway just before the show. It’s offering a $3,000 rebate for electric car purchasers if they scrap a year 2000 or older vehicle. This is in addition to the newly announced provincial government program. SCRAP-IT Program CEO Dennis Rogoza revealed: “Vehicles model 2000 or older emit up to 60 times more emissions than later models and electric vehicles have even much lower emissions.” Qualifying electric vehicles are listed on the SCRAP-IT.ca website. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Verdict It might not be the least expensive vehicle in this hot compact crossover segment but due to a conventional 6-speed automatic and class above amenities, it’s certainly in the running as a segment leader. The Lowdown Power: 155hp 2.0L or 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinder Fill-up: 9.8L/7.9L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $24,895-$36,995

Los Angeles/Palm Springs, CA—For 2015, Dodge introduces a new breed of Journey. One that has more visual appeal, lots of power and a few features to keep your drive exciting, even when it isn’t. Enter the Crossroad AWD edition. It’s clad in a Redline exterior pearl paint, and sparkles under the Californian sun or any sun for that matter. Thanks to distinctive front and rear fascias with Platinum Chrome accents, side sills and roof rails, along with dark-tinted headlamps and tail lamps, and unique 19-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels, it tends to garner looks from all passersby. Thanks to distinctive front and rear fascias with Platinum Chrome accents, side sills and roof rails, along with dark-tinted headlamps and tail lamps, and unique 19-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels, it tends to garner looks from all passersby. Thanks to distinctive front and rear fascias with Platinum Chrome accents, side sills and roof rails, along with dark-tinted headlamps and tail lamps, and unique 19inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels, it tends to garner looks from all passersby. This particular Journey is a much better looking vehicle than I had anticipated and I’m impressed with how it has evolved since its introduction in 2009. But it’s not just looks alone that make this crossover one of the best selling products in the Dodge lineup, and one that has earned numerous accolades. Inside, a visually stimulating cabin also welcomes the driver and passengers. First off, leather seats with sport mesh inserts come standard. Then you have Liquid Graphite appliques, a 213.4mm (8.4-inch) Uconnect touchscreen and a power driver’s seat and passenger fold flat seat with in-seat storage. The in-seat storage is a feature I found exceptionally handy, particularly when I wanted to tuck away some miscellaneous items I purchased along the road. Or I wanted to keep my snacks out of the sun when driving hours on end in California! Along the undulating SoCal roads, it was quite handy to have the 3.6L, Pentastar V6 engine under its hood for that extra bit of power I used climbing hills. It comes with a healthy helping of 283 horsepower and

The 8.4-inch screen is large and therefore doesn’t require me to take my eyes off the road for longer than necessary. Music through the speakers—via the SiriusXM stations or my playlists— kept me grooving even in rush hour traffic. With the countless kilometres logged on this Dodge, it wasn’t too hard to find much joy in this new Journey. In fact, it was quite a treat. The base MSRP of the 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad AWD is $35,395.

couver. A 250-strong fleet of Toyota Prius C hybrid vehicles will be available to users of this new service, called Evo, and some of them were on display. “What we are creating here is the evolution of BCAA – the auto club where you don’t even need to own a car!” said Shan Parmar, Director of Evo Car Share. BCAA believes car sharing is of growing importance for modern city dwellers and is a sustainable mobility option. It’s also a way to improve the on-going issue of traffic congestion. A single car share vehicle can remove up to 12 private vehicles off the road, according to a recent Metro Vancouver study report. Over the past 20 years, the car sharing service business has grown rapidly and it’s now available in over 600 cities around the world. Major auto makers, like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, are also involved in providing this type of service. In Vancouver, Evo joins Zip, Modo and Car2go for a share of the car share pie. “We believe Vancouverites are looking for a more flexible car share option that allows them to get outdoors and enjoy everything that BC has to offer,” explained Parmar. “Evo is the only one-way car share service that has vehicles with four doors, room for five passengers, bike racks, ski racks and space for

cargo. It’s the only car share service designed to fit a BC lifestyle.” BCAA is the first auto club to provide a car share service, according to Parmar. Initially the Evo service territory, where vehicles can be picked up and must be returned, is a 50 sq km area within Vancouver city. An Evo vehicle can be driven anywhere and then returned anywhere within the Evo service territory. “We have designated (free) Evo parking spaces throughout the city,” added Parmar. “In addition to that we have permits from the city of Vancouver that allow an Evo vehicle to park in any permit-only or resident-only zones, within the city.” Parking fees, gasoline, auto insurance and vehicle maintenance are all included with an Evo vehicle. A user of the service only pays for the time that they are logged into the vehicle and it starts on a per-minute fee base of 41 cents. The hourly usage fee rate is $14.99 and it’s $89.99 per day. BCAA members do receive some perks by enrolling in Evo. The ($35.00) registration fee is waived and they also receive a ten per cent usage credit. The highly fuel-efficient Toyota Prius C is a fourdoor hatchback that offers seating for five passengers and the Evo vehicles all come equipped with bike/ ski racks. An Evo client can locate available Evo vehicles with a downloadable mobile smartphone app or by using the Evo web site. An Evo client can also unlock the vehicle with the Evo app, or their Evo membership card, when they arrive at the Evo (Prius C) vehicle. The Prius C has a keyless ignition system and the key fob is in the vehicle. If they want to park the vehicle, but not end a session, they lock the vehicle with the key fob and keep it with them. The Evo user meter will, however, continue to run until you return the key fob to the vehicle and log off the session. “We’re seeing usage from a wide variety of users,” said

Parmar. “Young people who don’t own a car. Couples or people with young families, who may own a car, yet sometimes need a second car. People who use the service simply for the convenience, they don’t want the hassle of finding or paying for downtown parking.” To learn more about how BCAA’s Evo car share service works, visit evo.ca.

CHAPPEL-WAGNER, SANDRA

Ken was proud to have served his beautiful homeland, first in the Canadian Army 1942 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1946 and following a brief sojourn as a civilian, he rejoined the military family in 1953, in the Canadian Air Force, serving in Ottawa (Rockcliffe) and Whitehorse. After 25 years of service, he retired from the Forces at which time he and Molly moved to Kelowna. Always active, Ken then worked with Canada Post, Kelowna before re-retiring in 1987. Ken was born in Brandon, MB, the 13th of 14 children of Mary Jane (Stafford) and Albert Maxted on June 24th, 1922. He is survived by his children, Glenn â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of Santiago, MX, Patricia Shevchuk (Dave) Kelowna, Ron (Jaclyn) Calgary, Alan Casey (Cathy) Port Alberni, Julie Maxted-Murchison (Norm) Ottawa, his baby sister, Velma (Bonnie) Beattie, Weyburn, and special daughter-in-law Sharon Maxted, Kelowna. Ken was the proud Grampy/Poppie to 18 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. He will also be lovingly remembered by long-time friends, Marg Prowse and family, Kelowna/AB, Andy and Margaret Clements, Peachland, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. There was nothing Ken liked better than being around family and friends. He was a great hugger! Until deteriorating health restricted his activities, Ken enjoyed the great outdoors, hiking, gardening, camping, fishing and hunting, especially with his sons and nephew, Don (Terri) Maxted, Calgary. Ken and Molly enjoyed their first home on Longhill Road in Kelowna and loved their peaceful setting on the mountain in Peachland. They returned to Kelowna in 2012, to reside at Chatsworth Senior Home. Following Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, Ken moved to The Village at Mill Creek. We extend our sincere appreciation and thanks to the wonderful staff in the Shannon Community, The Village at Mill Creek , for the care and concern given to Dad during these past few months.

TAX PREP GUIDE 2015

sCapital News Friday, April 17, 2015

www.kelownacapnews.com B15

• When is my return due? Your income tax return is due on April 30 each year, or June 15 if you or your spouse ran a business in the year, although if you owe tax your payment is due on or before April 30. If you owe taxes, make sure your return is transmitted or postmarked before midnight on the due date to avoid late-filing penalties and interest. • Claim all charitable donations with one spouse. The credit for charitable donations is a two-tiered federal credit of 16% on the first $200 and 29% on the balance (plus provincial credits). Spouses are allowed to claim the other’s donations and to carry forward donations for up to Personal Service five years. By carrying forward donations and then having them all claimed by one spouse, the #109-347 Leon Avenue Ben Koltermann first $200 threshold with the lower credit is only applied once. • Travel the tax-friendly way. If you or a family member uses public transit, make sure you save those pass receipts. They could add up to $100 in tax savings per family member per year, We Also Do German Tax thanks to the new nonrefundable tax credit. Tip: The passes have to be for a period of at least one Wir Machen Auch Deutsche Steuer month to qualify. • Sign the kids up for fitness. The Children’s Fitness Tax Credit is for children under the age of 16, so save any receipts for your child’s ballet, swimming or other physical activity programs. Tip: The $500 tax credit will help compensate for those early morning hockey practices.
