When the Rockets face off for the first game of the 2015 Memorial Cup tournament, one outcome can be counted on. Super-fan Reagan Krivsky will be cheering the team on from the stands at the Colisée Pepsi in Quebec City, just like she does at every home game in Kelowna.
“They probably don’t know that I’m here... I don’t know any of (the players) personally,” she said from her hotel room in Quebec City, Thursday morning. “But they’ve probably heard about ‘the really crazy lady.’” Crazy is a bit severe, but fandom is a task Krivsky really takes on with gusto. Her fingernail and toe polish is Rockets

ROCKETS FAN FROM A1 themed, her house is decked out in Rocket paraphernalia, she adopted a “lucky duck” that she named Rocket and then there’s her wardrobe. “I have more Rockets clothes than…well, than any other clothes,” she said, laughing. She even has some rituals that have taken her through each game since ‘97, when she and her husband started being season ticket holders. “At 5:30 p.m., we’re there. I park in the same parking spot, where the Dolphins are, then I have to go to the casino, get an egg salad sandwich and an iced tea,” she said. “Then I put $20 in the machine, visit some friends in the smoke pit and go to the game.” During the away games she attends, things are a bit more loosey goosey, and she just makes sure she’s in the arena for
warm-ups. And, in case there’s any doubt, she wears a Rockets’ jersey for each and every game. For most people Krivsky’s dedication would likely be too onerous a commitment of both time and money. This year she had to take two trips to Portland, Oregon to watch “her boys” rise above the fray, and then there’s the Quebec trip presently at hand, which she expects to be “10 days of fun.” None of these trips are funded by the Rockets in any way. “The Hamiltons have just brought an amazing product to Kelowna,” she said, rationalizing her dedication. “And Junior Hockey is the best hockey you are going to find. These guys are playing to get all that and a bag of chips.” The game has changed since she embarked on her mission of super fandom. “It’s gotten less physical
and more skillful,” she said. And the fans have changed, too. “We’re getting louder. Rocky is a great instigator for that. It’s great.” Krivsky won’t be alone when she bellows in support of the local team from the stands. Taking the trip with her is her husband Louie and “Allan and Anita” another couple “who are there for everything,” too. “There should actually be eight or 10 of us going,” said Louie Krivsky. “It’s a lot of fun. We have a group of friends who have been going to these games with us for 10 to 15 years and we’ve been to seven or eight Memorial Cups.” As to whether or not they’ve been investing their effort on Cup winners, the Krivskys are cautious when talking about their team’s odds. “I think they have a very good shot at winning,” said Louie. “They are, at the very

least, as good as any team there, and if they play to their potential they will win.” Reagan is even more
and the boys I have watched over the last year may soon to be the No. 1 team in Canada,” she said.
Face off for the Rockets first game of the Memorial Cup against host Quebec is today at 4:30 p.m. Pacific time.

Baby sitting grandkids part of fans’ support of their team Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
For hardcore Kelowna Rockets fans Shane and Jennifer Klassen, their support for the WHL team will actually have them making a trip to Swift Current to babysit their grandkids. That’s because their daughter, Sheila Haasdyk, was the grand prize
winner of a package that includes tickets for two for the semi-final and final of this year’s Memorial Cup in Quebec City, a contest sponsored by MasterCard, the title sponsor of the annual Canadian junior hockey championship. “My husband and I are die-hard Rockets fans,” said Jennifer. “We will be taking our Rockets jersey
for our daughter to wear at the games because they have not lost this year when my husband has worn it to games.” While her daughter has become a loyal fan of the Swift Current Broncos, the WHL team in the Saskatchewan community of 15,000, her mom says with the Broncos out of the picture, she will be pulling for the Rockets in

Kelowna’s pedal power got a boost from Mayor Colin Basran this week, as he embarked on his first cycle to the office in the lead up to Bike to Work Week. He decided to participate in the activity that runs in Kelowna May 25 to 31 as it positively affects the overall wellbeing of this city. “We found out in our most recent citizen surveys that traffic is one of the biggest concerns for people in the community,” he said, pointing out that cycling could help reduce road congestion. “But most importantly it’s for a healthy lifestyle.

Physical activity makes us well holistically.” Kelowna, he said at a Wednesday press conference aimed at launching the week-long event, already boasts one of the highest bike commuter rates in the country. But, as he learned from his recent trip to Veendam, Netherlands, there’s room for improvement. “Having seen how ingrained bike culture is in Europe, we have a long way to go in Kelowna,” he said. “But Bike to Work Week will help promote that.” Also facilitating the development of cycling culture in Kelowna are some city projects. Work is starting on the Ethel Street cycle corridor later this year, as well as the new connection to UBC Okanagan on John Hindle Drive. The latter is expected to alleviate some of the long-standing concerns of those who say biking to the university is a high risk activity due to insufficient bike infrastructure. Beyond commuter routes, Basran also pointed out that another project in the offing could encourage more people to get on their bikes. “(The CN Rail corridor) is going to be an absolutely phenomenal opportunity for the community to promote active living.” Pat Rosen, owner of

Bike To Work Week ready to roll May 25
Kelowna’s Bike To Work Week got a push from Mayor Colin Basran this week, as he embarked on his first cycle to the office in the lead up to the annual event. Bike to Work Week goes May 25 to 31.
Kelowna Cycle, was on hand for the kick-off, and he pointed out that one of the things he’s always enjoyed about Bike to Work Week is the positive momentum it has. “It brings people to a new lifestyle,” he said. “It’s a catalyst to something greater for a lot of people.” Bike to Work Week prompts some concerns of cycling in the city, which had the Mounties issue a warning. There’s been an extreme spike in bicycle thefts in Kelowna—yearto-date there have been 154 bicycles stolen, and a few safety measures could be what stands
between someone with sticky fingers and your ride. “Make your bike hard to steal‚“ said Cpl. Joe Duncan, spokesman for the Kelowna RCMP. “While it’s not possible to make your bicycle 100 per cent theft-proof, there are some simple steps you can take to increase the security of your bicycle and its parts.”
SAFETY TIPS:
• Store your bike out of sight of a thief (out of sight is out of mind), keep it locked even inside a storage locker or a garage • Record serial numbers, make, model, colour, special identifying parts
and take a photo and keep the record safe at home • Use theft protection devices when leaving it in a public place. Use high quality locks of casehardened steel as poor quality locks can be cut in seconds. It’s important to secure it to an immovable object. If possible take all removable parts with you • Report promptly any theft of a bicycle to local police. Bike to Work Week kicks off Monday morning. Residents can register as a team, a school, or as an individual on the city website at smarttrips.ca.

news _____________________________________________________________________ LAWYER MISCONDUCT
Father of MP fined for misconduct by Law Society of B.C. Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
The father of a local Conservative MP has been fined by the Law Society of B.C. for writing himself into a client’s will. For two breaches of professional conduct Penticton lawyer Charles Louis Albas—father to Okanagan Coquihalla MP Dan Albas—has been ordered by the society to pay a $7,000 fine, as well as $1,736.25 in legal costs. “There is no evidence
that he exerted pressure on his client or that the proposed gift to himself was anything other than her true testamentary wishes,” reads the decision from the threeperson panel. However, they explain in the decision there are two cases where Albas should not have overseen the writing of a will he was the beneficiary of, and that’s where he ran afoul of the law society. “In both instances he took steps to benefit himself directly
or indirectly without ensuring that his client had independent legal advice,” they wrote. “This is a serious breach of duty to a client.” According to the agreed statement of fact, Albas was the legal representative of a woman referred to throughout the law society document as FC. She asked him to prepare a will that left half her estate to Shiner’s Hospitals and half to Albas, and it was executed in February
2009, witnessed by his receptionist and legal assistant. In 2013, new rules of conduct prohibiting lawyers from preparing wills in which they receive gifts came into play, so Albas, with the consent of FC, agreed to have a third party write a new will. He chose a lawyer with whom he shared office space to do the work, but that lawyer did not direct the preparation of the will or take on responsibility for its execution. Albas then went about
preparing a new will that instead named his wife as the beneficiary of half of FC’s estate. He took the document to FC, but she never signed it and in July 2013 she was committed under the Mental Health Act. Albas was able to get FC released when he wrote a letter to a hospital on her behalf, but in September 2013 she retained a new lawyer. That lawyer wrote
to Albas demanding that Albas “cease any further contact or communication with FC.” Once the matter reached the law society, Albas admitted to his misconduct, which the panel said bode well. It didn’t, however, negate the missteps he made. “The importance of ensuring the public’s confidence in the integrity of the legal profession cannot be overstated when determining an
appropriate disciplinary action,” they wrote. “Most members of the public require a will. Many of them will entrust the preparation of a will to the lawyer that they know personally. They should be entitled to rely on their lawyer to act in their best interests. Given the vulnerability of clients, the lawyer must not accept gifts from a client without ensuring that that client has received independent legal advice.”

Second crossing open houses draw interest Close to 100 people showed up at the first of two open houses the Ministry of Transportation held this week to gather public input about a proposed second crossing of Okanagan Lake. The first open house was held in Kelowna, with a second held Wednesday in West Kelowna. Ministry regional manager Murray Tekano said it was important to hear from the public about current and
anticipated transportation needs as the three-year planning exercise takes place. The province has allotted $2 million to look at options for a second crossing, including location and corridors leading to it on both the Kelowna and West Kelowna sides of the lake. While provincial figures show—based on traffic volume—that a second bridge will not be required for at least 20 years, Tekano said it is important to start
planning now. But he conceded the needs of an aging population, advances in transportation technology and growth in the sheer number of people living here will all have an impact on what is built and when. Still, for many who attended open houses, the sense that a second bridge will be needed sooner rather than later was strong. “I would like to see it sooner,” said Jen Sigston
of Peachland, citing the growth expected to take place here over the next 20 to 25 years. Provincial figures say the population here could double. While Kelowna has protected a potential corridor running alongside the former railroad tracks in the city leading to a possible crossing location in the North End, a bigger concern lies on the Westside, where no corridor has yet been identified.

Heart and Surgical Centre opens later this year. Interior Health has selected Stuart Olson Construction Ltd. as its construction manager to oversee major renovations of the existing Strathcona Building at the hospital. According to IH, the company will be responsible for overseeing renovations on the second floor of the Strathcona Building to accommodate six coronary care unit (CCU) beds, plus space for two future CCU beds, as well as 34 cardiac inpatient beds and associated support spaces. KGH currently
has 407 beds. Upgrades to the mechanical and electrical infrastructure in the building will also be part of the $32-million project. The renovations to the Strathcona Building are part of the overall IHSC project and the money to pay for them is included in the heart centre construction budget. The second floor of the Strathcona Building is currently home to nine operating rooms that are moving to the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre at KGH, slated to open this fall. This move will open up
space in the Strathcona Building to create the 40 single occupancy inpatient rooms with their own washrooms. Currently these beds are located elsewhere in both the Strathcona and the Royal Buildings at KGH in a mix of four-bed, private and doubleoccupancy rooms. The work is expected to be completed in 2017 and will be done in phases to support the new cardiac and surgical operations in the IHSC. Four teams responded to IH’s request for proposals, which closed on April 29.

Cycling4Diversity project aims to get people thinking about what they can do Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Students at Bankhead Elementary were given an opportunity to think about and celebrate their differences this week. “What does diversity mean?” Ken Herar, the founder of the Cycling4Diversity Foundation asked the hundreds of kindergarten to Grade 6 students who convened in the school gymnasium when he rolled in for a presentation. One boy’s hand rose in the air, and when the mic was set in front of him, he said: “We’re all different.” Different, yet the same, explained Herar, noting the reason why he was there Wednesday was to get everyone thinking
about how they can build friendships to topple the social barriers that hold communities apart. First step toward completing that mission was getting a highfive series of salutations underway. “Find someone you’ve never talked to and have a conversation,” he said, asking for older students to high-five the younger ones. After they milled about with their hands in the air and smiles across their faces, Herar said that one, simple act of communication may have made a difference. A little gesture of friendship can sometimes be hard to find, he said, especially when differences seem so hard to bridge. The differences that

Those differences weighed her down, until she learned to use them to her advantage. In high school she started playing rugby, and suddenly her size and power were strengths. In the years that followed she went on to play rugby for both the province as well as a New Zealand team. Her power, she found, was in her uniqueness. “Sports can give you the confidence to be yourself,” she told the students. May 17 to May 23 has been named

It was a blatant act of racism that both unsettled him and alerted him to the fact that a need for something like the Cycling4Diversity Foundation and corresponding bike ride were needed. Since it began in 2011 he and his team have visited close to 100 schools, and are this year slated to make stops at between 50 and 60 more in 11 cities. The message doesn’t just pertain to differences of a racial nature, either. One of this year’s team, Katie Van Nes, pointed
Record number of fry released from hatchery Mark Brett Black Press reporter
Life journeys began on two fronts this week along the shores of the dark, swift-moving waters of the Okanagan River Channel in Penticton. More than 200 young students from valley indigenous cultural schools released thousands of sockeye salmon fry, many of which they had raised themselves from eggs, into the waterway on the first leg of their migration to the Pacific Ocean. “The children here are an important part of the ceremony because this is their future, this is what they’re going to inherit from us so this is a big part of their journey too,” said executive director Pauline Terbasket of the Okanagan Alliance (ONA). “They (children) are going to witness how important it is to have a relationship with the land and the resources and that’s exciting for me. “This is a community ceremony. “It’s a place we can come together as people to just pause in our busy lives and say, ‘this is important.’” Held in conjunction with the ongoing work of ONA fisheries department to return the salmon to their traditional numbers and habitat, the day has become an annual celebration of the fish species that was so heavily relied upon in the past by aboriginal peoples. The release of
the salmon was extra special for members of the Penticton Indian Band because throughout the week they released the first fry from the stateof-the-art Kł cp lk stim Hatchery which opened on the reserve last fall. “This is very significant for us and we’ve broken a record for the number of fry we released this

year, 1.6 million,” said Penticton Indian Band Chief Jonathan Kruger, who was at the site May 20 for the special event. “The most we ever released was 1.2 million and our goal is to do five million a year. We’re still working on it but I’m confident our numbers are going to get bigger down the road.

six years For the past four yearsII 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

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.

Harper continues his dictatorial ways To the editor: The question we should be asking ourselves is ‘What is next for Canada as a nation?” We will soon be finding ourselves at the voting polls trying to choose a leader with conscience for a change. Once Stephen Harper makes his exit he will be known as the gentle dictator who managed to not only found CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service), a Canadian spy agency, the first of its kind, but also managed
LETTER OF THE WEEK to pass Bill C-51 in the House of Commons despite the many oppositions from concerned Canadians. If Bill C-51 will make it into law before his exit, which it probably will, every person who dares to criticize the government will become a terrorist suspect. The indigenous people of Canada protecting their own land and a person questioning the actions of our political leaders, such as myself, will make the list. So much for freedom of speech in a democratic nation.

If you have been paying attention at all, then most of you are probably aware that Harper sold the Canadian Wheat Board to a Saudi Arabia owned company, G3 Global Grain Group (US companies are also part of G3). I am sure Monsanto must be thrilled. Harper could not have picked a better business investor. Saudi Arabia was responsible for the execution of 87 people by beheading (sword being the choice of weapon) in that country in 2014. I think that any sane leader of a nation would have chosen to distance himself from a country that is as brutal and corrupt as Saudi Arabia. In fact, if Harper had any common sense he would have imposed sanctions against them. You never know, Harper could be getting private lessons from Saudis in self defence, sword fighting could be another one of those secret passions, like singing, we did not know Harper had.

Sacrificing B.C. farmland for climate change It was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farmland was Victoria News being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset. Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British- TOM based global manufacturer of FLETCHER household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16th and Oak to Stanley Park. Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office. Goodbye farmland. After that deal, the B.C. government changed legislation in 2011 to require permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to make these covenants valid. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be tested. It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another

7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are more deals in the works. Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropriate” and would weaken local farm economies. Wood responded that the RB Trees project targets only “marginally productive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale for long periods. Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in the legislature in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “flipped” for around $1 million to RB Trees. Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness. “It’s bull----,” he told me. “This isn’t marginal land.”

He said it includes prime alfalfa fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and young people keen to work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell. Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions. What happens when these forests burn? And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value? Remember B.C’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least. Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere? And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

Bill C-51 is ‘dangerous legislation’ To the editor: As the Canadian public learns more and more about C-51, this bill is becoming increasingly unpopular. They know that the bill goes far beyond simply cracking down on terrorism—Stephen Harper wants to criminalize political descent, and Justin Trudeau is right behind him. In Stephen Harper’s relentless pursuit of profits for his oil company friends, First Nations groups opposed to projects that would damage the economy and the environment, are an obstacle. More than a hundred of Canada’s best legal experts across the country sent a letter to all Members of Parliament expressing
their “deep concern” about C-51, calling it “a dangerous piece of legislation in terms of its potential impacts on the rule of law, on constitutionally protected rights, and the health of Canadian democracy.” Others opposed to this bill include the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Amnesty International Canada, four former Canadian prime ministers and the David Suzuki Foundation. The only Kelowna-Lake Country federal candidate who stands with the majority of Canadians on this issue is the NDP’s Norah Bowman, as she demonstrated at a C-51 panel this last week. As Norah said at the event held at Okanagan College, “We all
Major problems with C-51 To the editor: After attending the Public Forum to Oppose Bill C-51 in Kelowna, Bob Nicholson of Penticton wrote that the intent of the bill was “to reassure fearful Canadians.” I guess it’s some kind of accident that through its content, the bill “makes disagreeing with the government a crime.” In Nicholson’s view, Justin Trudeau voted for C-51 because he approved the intent. As for the content, he promised to amend it if he forms a government after October. Because Thomas Mulcair also promised to amend the bill, Nicholson, ex-journalist and self-described Liberal political activist, wants us to think Trudeau is no different from Mulcair. He wants us to believe “Trudeau is not the enemy.” There are numerous problems with this story. First, C-51 does more than criminalize dissent. James Cowan, leader of the Liberal Senate opposition, wrote to me about the many witnesses who appeared before the Senate National Security and Defence Committee: “[They] identified major problems with the bill, including unprecedented provisions that threaten fundamental rights of Canadians— privacy rights, and even fundamental rights and freedoms under the Charter. At the same time, witnesses questioned whether in fact the bill would actually make Canadians safer. “Moreover, the Bill would create these
new controversial powers without providing for the critical oversight of those powers— oversight that is accepted and indeed valued, including by the police and intelligence services, in other Western democracies around the world.” Second, Trudeau himself told us why he voted for this exceptionally dangerous bill. He said Harper would attack any opponent as being ‘soft on terrorism’. He didn’t want that accusation in an election year. Whereas Trudeau accepted an undemocratic police state to obtain some political comfort, the Senate Liberals are signalling rebellion. Cowan wrote: “If the government refuses to strike a more reasonable balance between security and liberty, and to provide appropriate parliamentary oversight, I will vote against the bill…[M]any, if not most of my Senate Liberal Caucus colleagues will do the same.” Third, what makes Mulcair different from Trudeau is that he voted against C-51. He’s since declared he’ll repeal it completely if he forms a government. Nicholson and I agree on one point: “In October, Canadians will face the most important choice in a generation. We must remove Harper and rebuild the Canada he is dismantling.” I know who I’m going to vote for. Do you? Dianne Varga, Kelowna
Parkade price increases To the editor: A couple of years ago, the city council of the day conducted an AAP (alternative approval process) to discern the approval or in the case of an AAP, the disapproval of voters to council borrowing $14 millions to construct the parkades along Ellis (an extention of the Library Parkade and for the new construction of a parkade infront of the Museum. The AAP failed to gather the 10 per cent of the required votes, thus allowing council to go ahead and borrow the $14 million. Now council tells us that not only have the costs increased, but that they have redesigned the parkade, adding additional parking. The costs haven’t increased by
mere thousands or even by the hundreds of thousands—they have increased by $3 million! So I was just wondering, since the AAP only gave council the go ahead to approve the borrowing of $14 million, should council not be asking the voters again to approve the increased costs and redesign? Perhaps voters will do a ‘rethink.’ Perhaps there is a better location for the parkade— perhaps at the now empty lot on St. Paul and Doyle the former site for the Monaco? After all, the parkade is mostly designed to serve the employees of the Interior Health building. Joyce Mainland, Kelowna Editor’s Note: See story page A12.

have a right to partake in democracy and First Nations people simply standing up for their constitutional rights are not terrorists.” Norah and the federal NDP know that terrorism is a genuine threat but that rights and freedoms cannot be protected by taking away those same rights and freedoms. C-51 presents a threat to anyone who stands up against the government and the only way to defeat it is to vote for a candidate and party that stands up for Canadians and abides by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Under his leadership as Chair of the Okanagan Basin Water Board from 2003 to 2008, the agency went through a dramatic renewal of mandate—from focusing primarily on aquatic weed control, to a dynamic organization earning national recognition for collaborative water stewardship. It was this legacy of excellence that led to his 2009 appointment by Premier Christy Clark as Parliamentary Secretary for Water Supply and Allocation, supporting the modernization of the B.C. Water Act. John cared passionately for water and for the Okanagan, and made a lasting difference. Anna Warwick Sears, PhD executive director, Okanagan Basin Water Board

Babcock the savior for the Leafs? That remains to be seen I know it’s nearly June, and I wrote about hockey last week, but gall darn it, the latest sports rocker out of Toronto screams for comment. The Toronto Many Laughs actually appear serious about returning
their once proud and famous NHL franchise back into a respectable hockey club. On Wednesday, the Maple Leafs hired the very best hockey coach currently in the world and spent a whack of

bucks to do so. There is hope, once again, for the blue and white. In true Toronto fashion, however, Canada’s most frustrating professional sports team managed to make its significant off-ice move in typical bull-in-the-china shop style. Only at the “Centre of the Universe” could a perennial losing sports franchise (with a crumpled line-up and little in future talent on the horizon) hire a coach for a larger individual salary than at least 20 of the 24man roster. The Leafs lured Mike Babcock out of Detroit by offering an eight-year coaching contract worth $50 million. That’s a lot of Tim Horton doughnuts. In fact, that’s more than $6 million a season, which makes Babcock the fifth-highest paid member of the team— even though he will not score one goal all year. Only Dion Phaneuf, Phil Kessel, and a couple
Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE of other players will earn more dough next season than Babcock. It’s enough money to make the likes of Conn Smythe toss in his grave – and perhaps, ironically enough, rightly so. But then, when have the Maple Leafs done anything normal since 1967? In case you fail to connect the dots, the Toronto Maple Leafs have not won the Stanley Cup since that year—in fact, they have barely even come close. Yet that’s exactly what both Leaf fans and ownership want and expect within the next eight years. Is $6 million a year too much for a coach? Perhaps, but not if he brings home a Stanley Cup. At least not in Shaky Town. Some Leaf sceptics remain unimpressed, saying the deal to steal the Red Wings coaching guru won’t change much. I figure if there has ever been a time for some potential sunshine in the forecast for the hapless hockey club it’s now. During his 10 years
with the Wings, Babcock never missed the playoffs, coached Detroit to the Stanley Cup championship in 2008 and to the Cup Final in 2009, losing to Pittsburgh in seven games. His regular season total of 458 wins, 223 losses, and 105 overtime or shoot out losses makes him the Wings’ all-time leader in wins. He boasts an 82-62 record in the playoffs. The Red Wings finished third in the Atlantic Division this season and lost to Tampa Bay in a seven-game Eastern Conference first round series. The Maple Leafs went 30-44-8 this season, finishing 15 in the Eastern conference. Make no bones about it, this blockbuster move proves Leafs ownership and its head honchos are serious about winning again—and willing to spend the dollars in acquiring key hockey savvy folks to run the show. That certainly appeared to be the case when Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment hired retired Red Wing star player Brendan Shanahan as Toronto’s team president 15
months ago and suggested Shanny would be left to make the key decisions. Shanahan played under Babcock in Detroit and is well aware of Babcock’s no nonsense, hockey brilliant, demeanour and abilities. It’s the ultimate compliment to Babcock’s skills and style. If the Leafs really do turn themselves around over the next few years, it will be through shrewd drafting and trades. That will begin this year with the fourth pick in the upcoming rookie draft. If the hockey gods are kind, talented Dylan Strome—a sniper centre for the Erie Otters—will still be available. The talented pivot is a good place to start a rebuild. And there are a few other young bodies on the squad worth keeping around including goalie Jonathan Bernier, defensemen Jake Gardiner and Morgan Reilly and fast-skating winger William Nylander. With the arrival of a wise coach like Babcock, a perennial floater and one-dimensional player like overpaid star Phil Kessel is hopefully gone. Kessel’s skill level has never been in question but his consistency, leadership, and commitment have
certainly been. I have a sneaking hunch despite his huge contract, Kessel is taking a jet plane somewhere soon. Not since Pat Quinn have the Maple Leafs had anyone seriously take charge of things in Leafville, and even back then, Quinn never had the sort of support to make the changes needed that Babcock is seemingly going to enjoy. If ever there was a coach to resurrect the career of a journeyman jock like Dion Phaneuf, then it must be Babcock. Clearly, if Babcock was not convinced he is stepping into a scenario that will provide him a chance to truly create a winner, and fulfill his destiny; he certainly had other options on where to go. Detroit never wanted him to leave and aside from the Leafs he had entertained significant offers from the Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks and the St. Louis Blues. Clearly Babcock thinks Toronto can be a winner soon—and that, my friends—is good enough for me. Dare I say it? Go Leafs Go.

news _____________________________________________________________________
In medical malpractice cases, get a second, or third, opinion Your doctor screws up—do you have a legal claim? The issue came up in a recent CBC “Go Public” story about a Kelowna man who suffered a serious stroke. The stroke has left him unable to walk or return to work. The “screw up” was a failure to properly read an earlier MRI scan. Had dissection of a neck artery been properly identified, the stroke might have been prevented with medication. Does the man have a legal claim? According to the Go Public story, he consulted a lawyer
Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT and was told it would be too difficult to prove with certainty his stroke wouldn’t have happened regardless. I suspect the fellow misunderstood the lawyer because the legal test is not one of certainty. Rather, it is one of “balance of probabilities” or “more likely than not”. Regardless, I would recommend the man seek
a second opinion. If there was an error in my medical care and I suffered as devastating an outcome as he did, I would want a second, or perhaps third, legal opinion before choosing not to pursue a claim. I would also ensure that I consult a lawyer who specializes in medical malpractice claims, which is a very specialized area of personal injury practice. I do not have that expertise and refer such cases to others who do.
Is a serious medical error, in itself, enough for a legal claim? No. In our civil justice system, we pursue fair financial compensation for losses. If there are no losses arising from serious medical error, there is no claim to pursue. In a “failure to diagnose” circumstance like this one, the question is whether or not the adverse medical result, the serious stroke, would likely have been averted absent the failure. Top medical specialists are consulted to provide opinions to help the court determine whether or not
that “likely” threshold is met, i.e. is there a 51 per cent or more the stroke would have been prevented. Isn’t it enough that there was a chance, however small, that the stroke might have been prevented? If this fellow could turn back time, he might have paid his entire life savings and sold his house for even a 10 per cent chance of preventing the devastating stroke. Unfair as it may seem, our civil justice system does not provide compensation for the loss of a chance to prevent
Central Okanagan
a devastating medical outcome unless that chance is greater than 50 per cent. Without at least that extra one percent, the “balance of probabilities,”civil justice
standard is not met, and there is no compensation. As with any personal injury claim, it is important you obtain a legal opinion about your rights so you can make informed decisions.

A bigger, taller new downtown parkade will cost Kelowna substantially more money than originally planned. The new Memorial parkade, to be built beside Memorial Arena, is now slated to cost $19.2 million—up from $15.8 million—after the city decided to increase the number of parking stalls and add a sixth floor. The parkade will have 566 stalls instead of the 460 originally planned. According to Kelowna’s infrastructure director Alan Newcombe, the parkade, to be built on the site of an existing surface level parking lot, will not only provide parking for the new Interior Health office building being built across
the road at the corner of Ellis Street and Doyle Avenue, it will also replace the stalls being lost from the existing parking lot and in the evening and on weekends, provide more than 500 new stalls for the public. A total of 410 stalls will be reserved for IH employees during weekday business hours. The design of the parkade shows two storeys of municipal offices on the Ellis Street frontage of the structure. Construction is slated to start in September and is expected to be complete in time for the opening of the new IH building in 2017. Money to pay for the
additional cost will come from city reserves and not affect the tax rate recently approved in the 2015 city budget. Meanwhile, work has already started on expanding the existing nearby Library parkade. That project is slated to be complete before the Memorial parkade is finished. On Monday, city council issued a development permit for the Memorial parkade. In doing so, the design was praised by councillors who noted features like having vines cover the back wall so it would not appear as stark to people using the nearby Kasugai Gardens park, located between the parkade site and City Hall.

Once again, it’s time for West Kelowna firefighters to do battle, not with fire, but ice. On May 30, the firefighters will lace up their skates and trade their water hoses for hockey sticks as they face off against West Kelowna Warriors alumni in what has become an annual tradition—the Shutout Sports Challenge Cup.
While each year teams play for bragging rights, something even more important is on the line, explained Alex Draper, director of business operations for the Warriors. “Obviously, from a fan standpoint it’s great fun to come out and watch former players take on our local fire fighting heroes, but the game is also an important fundraiser for the food
bank here,” said Draper. “Admission to the game is by donation and while we all want fans to have a great time and enjoy the event, we also want to encourage everyone to come out and support the important work being done by our local food bank.” Draper pointed out that in addition to the game itself, which starts atRoyal LePage Place at 6 p.m., a pre-game courtyard party

news _____________________________________ FEDERAL BENEFITS
Compassionate care benefits beefed up by feds all fire tables on sale! A core focus for the federal government since the election in 2006 has been providing support to Canadians when they need it the most. That is why the government is enhancing compassionate care benefits in the 2015 balanced budget. Compassionate care benefits, provided through the Employment Insurance (EI) program, are available to individuals temporarily away from work to care for a sick family member with a significant risk of death. Effective Jan. 3, 2016, Canadians will have access to an enhanced compassionate care benefit which will allow claimants to collect up to 26 weeks of benefits, up from the current six weeks. The benefits can also be taken within an expanded period of 52 weeks (up from 26 weeks) and can be shared between family members. This will require an investment of up to an additional $37 million annually and reaffirms the government’s
Ron Cannan
commitment to helping families receive the support they need as they care for loved ones at end-of-life. This is only one example of what the government is doing to help Canadian families at this difficult time in their lives. Since March 24, 2013, the Helping Families in Need Act has allowed parents to suspend the payment of their EI parental benefits if they become ill or are injured, to collect EI sickness benefits and to resume collecting the balance of their parental benefits thereafter, if needed. In 2014, the government allowed the same flexibility to claimants in receipt of EI compassionate care
benefits or EI benefits for parents of critically ill children. Understanding the role palliative care also plays at these times in the lives of families, between 2006 and 2013, the federal government invested more than $43 million in palliative care research through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. In addition, in 2011 and in 2013, the government also committed $3 million to the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association for the development of community-integrated palliative care models and $3 million to the Pallium Foundation of Canada for palliative care training to front-line healthcare providers, respectively. This year’s budget includes a further $14 million over two years to support the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement. One of the Foundation’s priorities for the funding will be evaluating and disseminating data about best practices in palliative
care services. As noted by the federal Health Minister, Rona Ambrose, the government understands the difficult challenges faced by Canadian families when they are caring for loved ones who have fallen seriously ill and that is why the government continues to work with provinces, territories, and stakeholders to continue to help make improvements in endof-life care and help meet the future care preferences of Canadians. To all those, including family members, care professionals and volunteers in KelownaLake Country who are helping others at this critical time in their lives, thank you. You are providing much-needed support at a difficult time and it is the most meaningful thing you can do for someone you care about. Ron Cannan is the Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country. ron@cannan.ca

Hometown favourites to test Rockets in Cup opener
250-869-0700
Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Quebec City—With a pro-Quebec crowd of more than 10,000 expected in the seats on Friday night, the atmosphere inside the storied Pepsi Colisée will be unlike anything the Kelowna Rockets have experienced this season.
It’s an environment Josh Morrissey plans to fully embrace, even if his visiting Rockets won’t be feeling much love against the host Remparts in the opening game of the Memorial Cup. “I know for myself, I’d rather play in front of a full, loud building, even if you’re not the favourite of the fans,” the 20-year-old Calgary-born defenceman said. “I saw a game there when I was 12, it’s got a ton of history, it’s a great hockey city, it seems like a fun arena to play in. That’s what you want as a player. I’m excited to get
language, making his team’s landing in Quebec just that much smoother. “It’s probably unique (for WHL coaches) being able to understand it and being able to speak the language certainly helps. Whenever you’re around the hotel or whatever it may be, I can translate for the players so it does help.” Moments later Lambert repeated the answer in French for the benefit of the Quebec-based media. @capnewsports.ca

1991-92 season. “It was pretty cool to walk in the doors again, a lot of great memories here,” said Lambert. “It’s great to be in Quebec City, being from out west we don’t come very often, but certainly there are great memories. They have great fans and it would be nice for them to get another NHL team.” In addition, Lambert, who grew up in the French-speaking comm unity of St. Boniface Man., is fluent in the

On the other bench, Kelowna head coach Dan Lambert said the Rockets hope to derail any such plans with a simple and focused approach to Game 1. “The fans are going to be ramped up, the (Remparts) are going to be ramped right up, and hosting, the pressure probably falls on them a little bit because I’m sure they want to do well for their fans,” said Lambert.

“In saying that, we’re not looking past the first game, we’re looking at the first period of our first game and how we want to come out and make sure we’re ready for that. That’s all that matters right now.” For veterans and rookies alike on the Rockets, playing in the Memorial Cup is uncharted territory. Still, according to Morrissey, the gravity of what lies ahead for the WHL champs isn’t lost on any of his teammates, experienced or inexperienced. “Everyone understands, whether it’s your last year or your first, old or young, it might be your only opportunity, your only shot at it,” said Morrissey. “For some of
us we know it’s going to be our last chance at it, obviously there’s no better way to go out that on top. I think everybody’s in a good mindset, take advantage of the spotlight, seizing the moment not leaving anything behind. I think that’s a great mindset and the one we have on our team.” Rookie forward Dillon Dube counts himself fortunate to playing for a national major junior championship in just his first full WHL season. The Cochrane, Alta. native has every intention of making the most of the opportunity. “It’s the most important thing a lot of us might ever do in hockey, the hardest thing to win, everybody will
be bringing their best,” said Dube, 16. “It’ll be a fun atmosphere to play in, especially in that building. People say the atmosphere is unbelievable, the fans are great. I can’t stop thinking about it, like a lot of the guys, I want to get it going.” Face off for Game 1 of the Memorial Cup Friday is 4:30 p.m. Pacific time.
Lambert homecoming… The Memorial Cup represents a homecoming of sorts for Rockets’ head coach Dan Lambert. The St. Boniface, Man. native played at Pepsi Colisee as a member of the NHL’s Quebec Nordiques during the
Twelve years on… Perhaps a little déjà vu? The Rockets are happy to be back at the site of their first ever Memorial Cup appearance. In 2003 in Quebec City, Kelowna finished third after losing to the Hull Olympiques in the tournament semifinal. Having played in four more Memorial Cups since (2003, 2004, 2005 and 2009) Rockets’ GM Bruce Hamilton believes his club is considerably better prepared for what’s to come—both on and off the ice. “You learn more about the logistical parts of this event every time you come,” said Hamilton. “We have more people with us who have defined jobs now so that the coaches don’t have to deal with things outside of coaching. They can dial in and just coach. “We also make sure the players also get whatever they need to
Bruce Hamilton
make us successful,” he added, “whatever gives us the best chance to win.” Asked if he was feeling at all nostalgic about returning to the scene of his team’s first Memorial Cup, Hamilton said that will all depend on how the 2015 tournament ends. “Don’t ask me this Sunday, ask me that a week from Sunday and I’ll tell you whether it’s special or not,” Hamilton said with a smile. @capnewsports.ca

The B.C. native lived in 100 Mile House from 2001-08 before moving to Sherwood Park, where he currently plays for Juventus Sports Club in both EYISA T1 and EDSA Premier Division. Sears competes with a youth team as well, which he leads as captain and plays a strong leadership role. “Kyle did extremely well at our ID camp showing well on the technical side and having a good soccer mind,”

With the Alberta team, he represented the province in both Germany and Iceland. Sears intends to complete his Bachelor of Applied Science in engineering, likely to specialize in mechanical engineering at UBC Okanagan.

Spencer Thomas, a 6-foot guard from Pickering, Ont., is headed to play for Pete Guarasci’s UBC Okanagan Heat men’s basketball squad. Thomas can play both the point and the two guard and is a strong on the ball defender who is aggressive on both ends of the floor he also likes to take it to the basket on
offense. “I take pride in defence as it fuels my game,” says Thomas when asked what kind of player he is. “Offensively I like to use my speed to my advantage by getting out on the wings and pushing the ball. At UBCO I would like to keep the same style of play but be more aggressive offensively.”

Spencer is Guarasci’s first recruit from Ontario, a region that is currently producing the best basketball players in the world. Thomas is finishing up his career at Pine Ridge Secondary and will graduate in June. Guarasci—an Ontario native himself who was raised in Niagara Falls— is pleased to tap into the hotbed of basketball in Ontario and likes his new recruit’s game and makeup. “We are very excited to add a guard of Spencer’s caliber to our basketball program,” says Guarasci. “His athleticism and basketball IQ will help right away. I also believe he has a very strong work ethic which will help him develop on the court and succeed in the
classroom.” Spencer Thomas led his Pine Ridge team to a bronze medal in AAAA boys basketball at the Ontario championships, the first team to medal at provincials in the history of the school. More of a defender, Spencer, is able to bust out offensively, and also make the big play to turn a game as evidenced by his four games in which he scored over 25 points and his big moment was a last minute dunk to put his team up two points to give of the victory against a top ranked team, Corpus Christi. A talented athlete who also excels in football, Spencer is open to any role next season and he hopes to add some athleticism and energy
to the young Heat roster. “My strengths are on the defensive end for sure but I like to bring lots of energy and positivity anywhere I play. Whatever role coach Guarasci has for me, I will do the best I can as that role.” Spencer visited the campus earlier in the spring and immediately liked what he saw, planning on enrolling in the faculty of management this fall. “I’m planning on getting a business degree at UBCO because it has all the courses I am interested in but also has smaller classes, which is better for my learning style,” he said. “I feel I am ready to play at the next level because I have been playing with older players for a while now.”

TOUCH FOOTBALL
Blues claim Maybowl title Loaded up with some past and current Okaagan Sun players and some former CIS talent, Kelowna’s Cariboo Blues were just too much for the opposition at the 36th edition of the Maybowl touch football tournament. The Blues defeated the Abbotsford Razorbacks 32-26 Sunday in the Top Flight final, the first time a Kelowna-based team has won the top division in the history of the event. The final game was a back-and-orth affair which saw the Razorbacks take a 26-25 lead with less than three minutes to play. The Blues marched the field and Greg Patchell hit Mike Pullin on a corner route from 15 yards out to take the lead by five
points. Patchell then hit his son Kyle Patchell for the extra point which put the Blues up by six points. Two plays later Brennan Van Nistelrooy intercepted a Razorbacks pass to seal the win for the Blues. Pullin and Kyle Patchell each caught seven touchdown passes on the weekend, the majority from Sun quarterbacks coach, Greg Patchell. The elder Patchell threw 28 TD passes and just one interception during the tournament. Current Sun DB Van
Nistelrooy had five interceptions, while Dusty Warawa added a pair of picks. The Blues won their Top Flight round robin games 40-22 and 4420, then defeated the Vancouver Pull 33-19 in the quarterfinals. In the semis, Kelowna downed the Vancouver Panthers 34-26. The tournament featured 29 men’s and four women’s teams split into four divisions—Top Flight, Intermediate, Rec and Women’s.

Kelowna United U11 Boys attended the Umbro Cup Challenge in South Surrey.
“We’re not done yet. We’ve still got the Memorial Cup.” Even amidst the jubilation of capturing their club’s fourth WHL championship last week, Chance Braid and the rest of the Kelowna Rockets knew that they still have much work ahead—and even more glory left for them to attain. “The Memorial Cup was our goal from the start of the season,” said Rockets’ injured left winger, Tyrell Goulbourne. “To make it there and win it.” The reigning WHL champions will next face their rival league equals—OHL champion Oshawa Generals, QMJHL champion Rimouski Oceanic, and tournament host Quebec Ramparts -- in the quest to declare ultimate major junior supremacy. Kelowna’s sweep of the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL final—including a shutout in the series clinching game— was unquestionably impressive, but when the Rockets collide with the OHL and QMJHL champs, can they produce equally dominant results?
“They’re the top teams in each of their leagues, so it’s going to be tough,” said Goulbourne, whose return date from injury is still unknown heading into the Memorial Cup. “I feel like if we play our game and our way, I like our chances in that tournament.” “It’ll be interesting to see how we stack up,” said assistant captain, Cole Martin. “I feel pretty confident in our group in there. We’ve got a lot of heart in that room and I think that’ll help us be successful.” “When we go up there, we’re going to work our butts off and hopefully get the win,” said Braid. “We won the WHL championship, and we know we can do more. We’ve got role players, we’ve got goal scorers, we’ve got a goalie—with the team we’ve got, I think we’re going to do just fine.” The Rockets are certainly bringing a capable group to the dance. Jackson Whistle’s four shutouts lead the CHL through the playoffs, as do Leon Draisitl’s three short-handed goals. The team should be well rested too—winning the WHL in only 19 games means they have played
up to three less games than their upcoming opponents. After only losing three games in their WHL playoff stretch, the Rockets earned a winning percentage of 0.842%—both of those statistics top the Generals, Ramparts, and Oceanic. Further, their expedited championship also granted them four more days of rest than the competing QMJHL teams, whose final series went to seven games. While the Rockets will unquestionably match their eastern rivals in potency, a bigger question will be whether Kelowna can counter what their opposition brings to the table. They will have to put pucks past GoalsAgainst and GoalsAgainst-Average leader, Louis-Phiip Guindon of Rimouski (25; 0.184), and save percentage leader, Zachary Fucale of Quebec (.913%). They will also have to deactivate top point producers, Cole Cassels and Michael Dal Colle of Oshawa (31), and goal scoring leader, Adam Erne of Quebec (21). For Goulbourne, Martin, and Braid—the Rockets’ three eldest statesmen—the Memorial Cup tournament is
uncharted waters, as it is for the rest of Kelowna’s current roster. Aside from the club’s long term staff, no current Rockets have experience from the team’s last Memorial Cup appearance in 2009 to mine, nor from their tournament win in 2004. With that in mind, all three veterans will be looked to by their teammates for their savvy leadership in Quebec— on and off the ice—and not just because of their age. Goulbourne and Martin both recorded career highs in regular season goals, assists, and points this year, and Braid has never been more productive in the postseason in any statistical category. Rockets fans will have to wait until May 31st to find out whether this trio of 20 year olds in their swan song season of junior hockey will help lead Kelowna to their second Memorial Cup title in franchise history, or not. One thing that is for certain though— no matter how the tournament plays out, none of the three will ever forget how their junior hockey careers concluded. Follow Dave Cunning @davecunning.

School of Engineering gets $1.13 million for transport research in South Asia. The fouryear UBC project involves four countries and exchange opportunities for students. UBC Okanagan’s School of Engineering is leading a four-year interdisciplinary project that could change the way transport infrastructure is managed around the world. Funded by the Canadian Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholarship program, the School of Engineering is leading a $1.13-million research project called Innovative Solutions for Developing and Managing Climate Resilient Transport Infrastructure in South Asia Region: A Lifecycle Thinking Approach. The project involves university students from the Commonwealth South Asian countries of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Students will work with UBC Okanagan researchers on sustainable transportation infrastructure in Canada and the South Asia Region (SAR). Prof. Rehan Sadiq, acting director of the School of Engineering, is the principal investigator. The project will enable 24 graduate students, 16 undergraduate interns, and 20 international graduate students to jointly work on research projects related to efficient and welldeveloped transport infrastructure.
“Transport infrastructure is the backbone of economic productivity and social well-being in any country, and it must enable the delivery of goods to markets, as well as labour and leisure mobility, without undesirable economic or environmental impact,” said Sadiq. Due to material erosion accelerated by climate change, Canada and SAR countries face similar challenges with transport infrastructure. In the next decade, however, Canada is expected to invest about $70 billion in public infrastructure projects. In the South Asia Region, an infrastructure gap of more than $2.5 trillion needs to be addressed by 2020, which becomes more daunting as the SAR is one of the most vulnerable regions facing severe and continuous climate change impacts, Sadiq said. “This program will bring unique opportunities to educate and train young Canadian and Commonwealth students through learning partnerships across the countries that are facing these challenges,” Sadiq said. “The students will gain great awareness about our global community.” This interdisciplinary project involves UBC Okanagan researchers from the School of Engineering, Faculty of Management, and the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. Engineering’s research team includes faculty members and
civil engineers Kasun Hewage, Ahmad Rteil, Shahria Alam, mechanical engineers Lukas Bichler, Joshua Brinkerhoff and Spiro Yannacopoulos, associate dean of Applied Science. The research team also includes Dean Roger Sugden and faculty member Eric Li of the Faculty of Management, Keith Culver, director of the Okanagan Sustainability Institute and economist Ross Hickey. “The diversity of perspectives and challenges facing Canadian and SAR partners offers an unprecedented opportunity to engage students from developed and emerging economies in a mutually advantageous research program,” said Sadiq. The team has already been involved in fundamental and applied-research projects related to infrastructure management, innovative materials development, socio-economic studies, and life-cycle thinking. The new projects will look at possible ways to improve, support, and protect the transport infrastructure and systems with consideration to climate change. “The exchange of students will promote international collaboration and the development of longterm research projects, which will benefit Canadian and SAR researchers and their partners,” Sadiq said. “We will be sharing our knowledge and experience from Canada,

March against Monsanto planned Kelowna and Penticton citizens are joining ‘millions’ worldwide in March Against Monsanto. It is estimated 38 countries spanning six continents and 428 cities will be participating for a peaceful informational demonstration. Both Kelowna and Penticton have amalgamated their marches in Kelowna. The Kelowna March Against Mosanto will
start at The Parkinson Recreation Centre May 23 at 11a.m. Other marches will be held in Vernon, Lumby and Enderby. While demonstrations are aimed at GMO labeling, the bee colony collapse, seed sovereignty, food security and environmental health, Monsanto is the targeted corporate figurehead of the movement.
Locally, residents will also be demonstrating against the newly approved Arctic apple the first genetically modified fruit approved in Canada and recently purchased by Intrexon Corporation from Okanagan Specialty Tree Fruits. Guest speakers at the march will included Ron Pinkney, a local apple farmer from Green Acres Organics.
as well as learning from their unique experiences. This is a two-way relationship with great learning and research opportunities for all involved.” Launched in June 2014, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholarship aims to cultivate university students to become innovative, global leaders. Queen Elizabeth scholars will be able to work with university researchers in commonwealth countries during academic studies or internships of between three and 12 months long.

Change is coming to Cuba, but the outcome at this point is anyone’s guess Alice Short contributor
HAVANA—Cuba was everything and nothing that I’d imagined. On my first trip in March, with my daughter, Madeline, I expected remarkable art and architecture, cigars and rum, faded ‘50s-era casinos and T-shirts bearing the likeness of Che Guevara. I looked for evidence of defections and detente, of clampdowns and compassion. We found all of it— on the cobblestone streets and back alleys of Havana, in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and in the Museo de la
Revolucion, in private restaurants and tobacco farms. We also found it in
the stories told by the people we met, from a tour guide who was contemptuous of the
current regime and a museum docent who told us the Cuban Revolution had led to

her emancipation from colonial society. But many of our experiences bore no relationship to our expectations: Tourists, including Americans, were everywhere. Restaurants that cater to those tourists frequently doubled as galleries, some with remarkable paintings and sculptures. The rituals of Santeria are not merely the stuff of pop culture, as we discovered when we walked down a short strip of street known formally as Callejon de Hamel, with its shrines and galleries and murals devoted to the AfroCuban religion that

combines Yoruba and Catholic beliefs. When we were planning the trip, we didn’t take geography into consideration. Cuba is a Caribbean island, which means beaches and palm trees and tropical fruit, right? But the terrain is richly diverse: Parts of western Cuba—the postcardworthy mountains and valleys of rural Pinar del Rio province two hours west of Havana— resemble a Chinese landscape painting. Nothing prepared us for the contrast of apartments on the verge of ruin next to seemingly well-preserved buildings slathered in Wedgwood blue or pastels. Cuba’s story unfolded through its food, its flora and fauna and, of course, its people. They introduced us to the art of hand-rolling cigars, e12-year-old rum and orchids the size of salad plates. They were curious. Welcoming. And voluble. That included our guide for 5 1/2 days, who greeted us each day with great enthusiasm, even though he undoubtedly had squired tourists through Meyer Lansky’s Hotel Havana Riviera and the Plaza de la Revolucion dozens of times. He his life story, his 5shared opinion of Fidel Castro and his love of ‘80s pop music. When he dropped us off at Jose Marti airport, he embraced us like longtime friends. Then he added, “You can quote me, but please don’t use my name.” His Cuba, and the Cuba we experienced, remains a beautiful mess: Welcoming, beguiling, ravaged by neglect. It’s a real-time current events course, where change seems certain—but the outcome never is.
CULINARY WINDOW ON CUBAN CULTURE If you consider yourself a foodie in any way, know this: If you travel to Cuba, be prepared for a squash fest. At every lunch and dinner, we were offered pumpkin soup or cooked butternut squash or squash stew. It was rarely bad but never great, which was true of much of the food we consumed. Fruit and vegetables were harvested before their time, fish and meat often overcooked. That said, there was something noteworthy or intriguing every time we lifted a fork. My daughter, Madeline, and I sat
down for our first meal in Havana, lunch, at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, once a prime destination for Americans and Europeans with the means to embrace the luxe life. It opened in 1930; several years later, a shiny new casino was opened under the auspices of mobster Meyer Lansky. Celebrity photos attest to the once-glamorous clientele, and although travel guides are not universally kind to the Nacional, the fading elegance of its public spaces is irresistible. It’s still a busy hotel, and one of its greatest charms is La Barraca, an open-air restaurant where our table was quickly
covered with dishes, including the ubiquitous salad with shredded cabbage and tomatoes, chicken, squash, rice and beans, and bread. In truth, they could have served us anything and we would have been happy. The restaurant has lovely views of Havana Harbor, the mojitos flowed, and every few minutes a male peacock popped up in the hotel gardens, practicing his come-hither screech. We ventured out of Old Havana twice to visit organic gardens affiliated with restaurants. Lunch one day was at the Finca Agroecologica el Paraiso, in a photogenic valley on the outskirts of Vinales,

Memorable meals CUBA FROM A25 Many of our fellow diners looked ready for a lie-down after the two-hour meal, but we revived ourselves with a walk through Vinales, whose main street is lined with tiny homes painted in shout-out shades of turquoise, apricot and lime. Two dinners in Havana were standouts: On the fourth night of the trip, Madeline and I cabbed it to Atelier, a rooftop restaurant (with indoor seating as well) in the Vedado neighbourhood, home to beautiful apartment buildings and old mansions. The waiters were young and hipsterish (and thankfully, none was compelled to discuss the provenance of the chicken and beef we ordered). The cocktails were sincere (strong), and the entrees were well prepared. On our last night in Havana, we had reservations at La Guarida, on the top floor of a crumbling mansion that was featured in the
1993 film Strawberry and Chocolate. A visitor might have concluded that the structure is held together with baling wire and a little scaffolding, but worries about building codes faded during our two hours of savory, spicy and sweet. The fish was perfectly cooked, the gazpacho had the right balance of oil and vinegar, and the deconstructed lemon tart could hold its own in any tony restaurant back home. Wherever we dined, the people who led us to our seats, took orders and filled our glasses were polite and sometimes friendly. Most spoke English—and several other languages. Prices are modest to moderate by North American standards—$15 to $50 per person for multi-course meals. What was missing? Cubans. Our driver, an attractive young woman, looked at us pointedly one day after lunch and explained that she had never been in any of these restaurants, with an emphasis on the “never.”

news _______________________________________________ WATER CONSERVATION
Mulch now to reduce water use With reports of drastic watering restrictions in California and Washington State, lower than average snowpack in the Okanagan and the early, dry spring, there is much concern about potential watering restrictions. This has created a noticeable increase in interest in creating gardens using the Seven Principles of Xeriscape. I’m often asked: ‘But what can I do to reduce water use in my existing garden?’ The one principle that everyone can take advantage of immediately is to cover all exposed soil with a layer of mulch, thus mimicking the layer seen on the forest floor. The simple act of spreading a layer of organic matter over the
Gardening with Nature GWEN STEELE surface of the soil reaps tremendous rewards. It can reduce water use by 50 per cent or more. Weed growth is negligible. Those that grow are easy to pull out. The soil never gets a hard crust after watering or rainfall. Plants thrive by being slowly and naturally fertilized by the organic mulch. They are sturdy, pest-free, and have abundant bloom. Now is an excellent time to mulch but it can be done at any time in the growing season. Before mulching, it
is essential to remove all weeds. Covering them with mulch just makes them grow faster. Soil must be moist before mulching. It is extremely difficult to moisten dry soil once it is covered with mulch. Annuals, perennials, and ornamental grasses can have a one to two inch layer of mulch. All need a good supply of nitrogen so are best with nitrogencontaining mulches such as GlenGrow (city yard waste compost), OgoGrow (city biosolids composted with wood waste) or well-rotted manure. OgoGrow is the highest in nitrogen. Soil micro-organisms

break these down to release nutrients that can be used by plants. As such, the mulch will need to be topped up most years. Lawns benefit from a half to one inch layer of mulch in early spring and/ or the fall. This evenly feeds the lawn all season, enriches soil and reduces water use. Chemical fertilizers are not needed. Nature’s Gold, which contains OgoGrow, is sieved to a finer texture making it a good lawn mulch. It can also be used on garden beds. Shrubs and trees can be mulched with a three to four inch layer of the same materials or wood waste such as bark mulch or wood chips. These are carbon and break down more slowly
so only need replenishing every two to three years. In between, mulch can be freshened up with a light raking. This disturbs any weed seeds. Keep mulch a few inches away from stems and trunks of shrubs and trees to avoid diseases and rodent damage. Vegetable gardens benefit from one to two inches of mulch. If you want to know what you are eating, I recommend making your own compost for food gardens. Gwen Steele is executive-director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

A uniquely Indian grand car show
distinctiveness of India’s post-Independence automotive heritage. It gives people a chance to see some magnificent cars from the esteemed stables of Indian royal patrons and noted private collectors, who can be seen walking around the Polo field as others participate in the catered and afternoon high tea. Visit the picture gallery at drivewaybc.ca.
By Nigel Matthews India’s finest exhibition of vintage automobiles and motorcycles is the Cartier “Travel with Style” Concours d’Elegance. This year it took place at the historical Jaipur Polo Club in New Delhi, located within the racecourse. Cartier has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with India and in particular the Maharajas dating back to 1911. They would entrust Cartier to design and set their precious stones into magnificent pieces of jewelry. The opulence and elegance of India’s long-standing automotive legacy has returned to India thanks to the vision and hard work of the event creator and director, Mark Shand, a British travel writer and conservationist. Sadly, he died in 2014 and he was dearly missed at this year’s event. The other person responsible for the event is the renowned Indian automotive historian and expert, His Highness Rana Manvendra Singh of Barwani who hand picks some of the rarest restored and preserved vintage automobiles from across India. The Cartier Concours, which began in 2008, has generated great excitement amongst Indian collectors. More owners are now taking an interest in maintaining and restoring their cars to the high standards required for such an international event. Having visited a restoration shop in Kolkata, I have to mention that the quality of workmanship. Given the equipment that they have, it is amazing and absolutely first class. It is obviously driven by a great deal of passion and pride. India has a very rich motoring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta, imported the first car into India which was a De Dion-Bouton. The following year there were four cars in Bombay. Jamshedji Tata an Indian pioneer industrialist, who founded the Tata Group, which has grown into India’s largest conglomerate company, owned one of them. Ratan Tata, who is the great grandson of the company founder and Chairman Emeritus of Tata

& Son, was at the Concours and enjoying a personal inspection of the cars on display as we performed our judging duties. Tata purchased Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008 for $2.6 billion. I’m sure Mr. Tata enjoyed viewing the 1951 Jaguar MKV, it’s a pity there weren’t any old Series I Land Rovers present. The Maharajas possessed an incredible purchasing power and only bought the finest products, particularly when it came to cars. A quarter of the Rolls-Royce production between 1912 and 1947 went to India. Having lost a number of significantly important cars, the Indian Government put measures into place to protect their automotive heritage by eliminating the export of cars from India. It is also extremely difficult to import a vehicle manufactured after Jan 1, 1950 into the country without being subjected to as much as 181 per cent duty. Manvendra was very successful in persuading some of the diffident owners to display their automobiles, in some cases, vehicles that have not been publicly viewed before. To summarize the event, it is unique and it is India’s closest comparison to the most famous event in the world the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is a comparatively young event, which focuses on India’s automotive heritage, unlike Pebble Beach. Vehicles are not shipped to India from all over the world because only vehicles from within India can enter. I hope that it remains that way because this is what makes it so special, celebrating the

Take a drive in the 2016 Camaro By Jim Robinson DETROIT, MI—As someone who grew up across the river from Detroit, the world reveal of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro was more than just another car launch. For me, it was the first time I could say all that talk for decades about Detroit making a comeback just might be true. I saw Detroit in the 1940s
Saturday evening heading back from the first public viewing of the 2016 Camaro, I was driving along Jefferson Avenue, pretty much a ghost town a decade ago. But here were a few fast food outlets, an open pharmacy and people just walking down the street enjoying the evening. But this came to the fore earlier Saturday on Belle Isle at the first look at the
and ‘50s when it really was one of the great cities in the world, then witnessed it crash and literally burn in 1967 and then slowly rot well into this century. The first hint there is change was on a Friday night (May 15) at my hotel near Cobo Hall seeing people coming in off the street to dine in the hotel restaurant—a rarity just a few years ago.

tions were parked after enjoying one lap of the track with all the barriers in place for the upcoming race. But the highlight, of course, was the 2016 Camaro, the sixth generation model or GenSix that will now be built in Michigan on GM’s consolidated rear-drive plant after production of the current fifth-generation model ceases in November in Oshawa. Despite looking very similar, only two parts were carried over on the 2016—the Chevy Bowtie and SS badges. Weight is down by about 90 kg (200 lb) and the body underwent extensive aero work at GM’s Oshawa R&D facility. Styling is considered evolutionary with GM preferring to stick with a continuity of design. Another reason is, with more than 500,000 Gen Five Camaros sold; you don’t want to make current owners feel like yester owners. There will be three engines, starting with a new 2.0-litre
direct injection turbo four-cylinder with 275 hp, 295 lb/ft of torque with an estimated combined fuel consumption of 7.8L/100 km and a 0-96 km/h time of under six seconds. Next is a direct-injection 3.6-litre V6 with 335 hp and 284 lb/ft of torque making it the claimed highest output non-boosted V6 in its segment. Last of the three engines is the heart and soul of the Camaro, the St. Catharines-built, 6.2-litre “small block” V8 with 455 hp and 455 lb/ft of torque making it the most powerful SS model ever, endowing it with better lap times than the track-focused 2015 1LE. All rear-drive, there will be a choice of a rev matching six-speed manual transmission or the new GM-built eight-speed automatic. All Camaros will offer Brembo brakes which are standard on the SS. By luck and being fast on my feet, I was the sixth of about 300 journalists to drive the 2016 around the Belle Isle track in prototypes still wearing full
camouflaging. There were six GenFives and six GenSix “mules” all with V6s and a mix of manuals and automatics. The drill was do one lap in the GenFive and then the GenSix to compare performance and handling back-to-back. Groups of three cars were lead by a near-race Z/28. Usually these escorted laps are done at a moderate pace but not in Detroit. With the exception of a Lamborghini some years ago, this is the fastest I’ve gone outside of a full-race scenario and let me tell you, those concrete barriers and high link fences are truly
imposing. Based on the Cadillac ATS platform and combining 200 less lb, the GenSix was astonishing with its poise in the corners and the way it dug in on the straight all with a wonderful exhaust tone from the V6. I drove it twice in automatic and the result was the same—the GenSix has transformed the Camaro into one of the best new performance cars available. The V8 should be a revelation especially with Magnetic Ride Control borrowed from the Corvette available on the SS for the first time. Adding to the fun will be
an all-new Drive Mode Selector, which allows up to eight vehicle settings for four modes (Snow/Ice, Tour, Sport and—on SS models—Track settings) although I never had time to play around with it in Belle Isle because I needed all my concentration on the track. If there were early prototypes, I can’t wait to try the production cars, especially the SS. Look out Mustang—Camaro is coming after you. Jim Robinson is an auto writer for Metroland Media. Wheels.ca

Racing in a Nissan Micra By Neil Moore
Auto journalists turning laps on Circuit Mont Tremblant in the race-ready Nissan Micra. CONTRIBUTED

When you think of auto racing, econocars like the Nissan Micra don’t usually spring to mind. Nissan however, does have a long history in motorsports. It began in 1936 with the 22-hp Datsun Sports NL75 that competed in the All Japan Tamagawa Auto Race Meet, and continues with such leading-edge efforts as the 1250-hp GT-R LM NISMO hybrid racecar that will debut in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. But racing today is about more than big power and

stratospheric budgets. Spec racing is one such opportunity with the Micra Cup series, presented by JD Motorsport and Nissan Canada a new comer. The first two of 12 races, over six weekends in Quebec, begins on May 22 at Circuit Mont-Tremblant— where Canadian and American journalists recently gathered to drive these cars on the rain-soaked track. But before being outclassed by my ‘hot shoe’ colleagues, I had the opportunity to learn more about the cars and the racing series, which Nissan Canada president Christian Meunier refers to

as “affordable racing for the masses.” He describes the Micra as agile, urban, fun-todrive and durable, and on that last point it is worth noting that Micra’s global V platform (shared with Versa Note and Sedan) underpins more than one million vehicles per year. I’ve driven the $9,998 Micra (manual windows, locks, and no A/C) and found it solidly-built and nicely finished inside, with good composure at highway speeds—although it can get buffeted in strong winds. Its 1.6-litre DOHC four cylinder engine (109 hp and 107 lb/ft) is mated to a fivespeed manual transmission. Shifter action is rubbery, but no matter as this is the best way to route power to the front wheels of this 1,044 kg (2,302 lb) vehicle. Plant the pedal and it jumps off the line, and with Micra’s wide track, small turning radius and wheels pushed to the corners, handling is tight and nimble. It’s a good base for the Cup vehicles, which are all sent
to Motorsports in Action (MIA) in St-Eustache for modifications. Suspension is upgraded, but there are no enhancements to the engine, chassis or transmission. All Micra Cup cars are built to the same spec, which includes the stiffer Nismo S-Tune suspension kit, FIA-approved racing seat with five-point harness, modified exhaust, high-performance brake pads, safety cage, driver protection net, ‘Fastwheels’ wheels with Pirelli low-profile tires, and a fire extinguisher. To accommodate these mods, the interior is gutted—resulting in significant weight loss. Car and driver must tip the scales at only 2,250 kg. The end result is a raceready Micra for an all-in price of $19,998. Sadly, these aren’t street legal, so you’ll have to buy a trailer. Which, along with tires, servicing/repairs and entry fees will add about another $20K to the first season. Wheels.ca

Culture ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON
Shakespeare play blitz returns to Vibrant Vine THEATRE The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) July 15-25 7 p.m. Okanagan Villa Estate Winery 3240 Pooley Rd. Kelowna This will be Shakespeare Kelowna’s fourth outdoor summer play presented on the Vibrant Vine Winery stage in the heart of East Kelowna’s wine country. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) originally premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987 and featured three overachieving actors attempting to perform all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays in 90 minutes. Fast-paced, witty, and physical, it’s an evening of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. After a suitably pompous literary introduction, Act One launches into a highly condensed version of Romeo and Juliet, followed by modern interpretations of Titus Andronicus and Othello. Next up is a mash-up in which all 16 comedies are performed at once. The pace doesn’t slow down as they move on to the tragedies and histories. J Just when they think they have completed the challenge of performing all 37 plays they realize they are short by one play –Hamlet. And it’s on to Act Two. This is not your traditional evening of Shakespeare. For more information see shakespearekelowna. org. For tickets order online at selectyourtickets.com.

Frost is currently touring celebrating the release of his fourth DVD, Emotional Terrorism. He is the only comedian in Canada to independently release four full length standup comedy DVDs. Most recently he worked with Nicolas Cage in the upcoming movie Pay The Ghost and was nominated twice at the 2014 Canadian Comedy Awards Including Best Male Standup. Frost was also part of

He also had appearances at the Halifax Comedy Festival, Lost Girl, Strombo and the CBC Debaters. And for three years, he was the host of the popular weekly Sirius XM radio show Anything Goes, which has been nominated two years

Have you always wanted to view original works of art by the Group of Seven but never had the chance? Kelowna residents will have the rare opportunity to see 40 paintings by prominent Canadian historical artists including members of the Group of Seven, as well as Tom Thomson, David Milne, and other artists active in the early to mid-20th century. A Story of Canadian Art: As Told by the Hart House Art Collection will be on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery until July 19. Visitors will be thrilled by the extraordinary paintings in the exhibition, including many works depicting iconic Canadian landscapes along with some stunning portraits, still lifes, and urban scenes. The time frame the exhibition spans is a significant one, the Great Depression, a time when many Canadians in the 1930s were forced to endure substantial economic hardships and when Canadian artists turned from wilderness landscape material to exploring social issues in their work. The exhibition provides an interesting look at the history of art in Canada and features an impressive number of women artists, including Prudence Heward, Lilias Torrance Newton, Paraskeva Clark, Kathleen Morris, and Bess and Yvonne Housser. Works by these women painters have never previously been exhibited in Kelowna. The exhibition is
financially supported by the Museums Assistance Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage. Independent curator Christine Boyanoski has organized the exhibition and has written the text in the beautiful catalogue that accompanies the show. For more information see kelownaartgallery. com or call 250-7622226. CONCERT Tim Williams Saturday, May 30 8 p.m. Volcanic Hill Winery 2845 Boucherie Rd. West Kelowna Tim Williams will perform a soulful evening of acoustic blues joined by local musicians Gail & Karl. Williams’s win at the 30th annual International Blues Challenge (in Memphis 2014) as Best Solo or Duo, and Best Guitarist (solo or duo), are just the latest accolades in a career entering its fifth decade. Williams brings to the stage a blend of passionate, gritty vocals and awe-inspiring chops on a number of instruments (including finger-style and slide guitar, mandolin and Hawaiian guitar among others) along with his wry sense of humour and deep knowledge of blues and roots music. His career began in the coffee houses of Southern California in the mid-1960s and continues today around the world from his home base in Calgary. Local musicians Gaill and Karl Hourigan, who will open the show, are the core writing team at the heart of The
Malarkeys, a popular Celtic folk rock band from Kelowna. Stepping out on their own as a duo, the Hourigans will have the chance to highlight more of their original songs, dive into old and new songs by other artists and explore different musical genres. Tickets for the concert, titled Blues Eruption II, are available at ABC Hobby & Games in Dilworth Plaza, Kelowna, Mad Hatter Bookstore in West Kelowna, at Volcanic Hills Winery, or online at kelownafolkclub.ca.ca.

Marriage of Figaro follows the Almaviva household through a single tumultuous day as Count Almaviva, his wife and his valet Figaro spin a tangled web of love affairs, plots, and counterplots.

the original, but rumours abound that he did more on-set than director Tobe Hooper). It was released within a week of his blockbuster E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial in June of that year which was dubbed “The Spielberg Summer” and spawned two sequels and a spin-off TV series. While the reboot does not involve Spielberg, it does boast the impressive talent of Sam Raimi (the Evil Dead franchise & Spider-Man trilogy) as producer and Gil Kenan (Monster House) as director. Sam Rockwell (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Iron Man 2) and Rose Marie DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married, TV’s United
States of Tara) star as a typical suburban couple excited to be new homeowners. However, after their two children discover strange things happening in the house, events become downright sinister and an evil presence terrifies the family and the young daughter vanishes. Jared Harris (Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows) plays the exorcist brought in to do battle with the haunting spirits and save the girl. It looks like the filmmakers have done a good job updating the story and bringing the scare factor. Hopefully, the audiences both old and new will check it out.

February 16, 1948 - May 14, 2015 Bob was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the Navy where he served for 3 years. After discharge he settled in Victoria and went to work for Canadian Telephones and Supplies. While on the job, he met Sharon, the love of his life. In 1993, Bob transferred to Kelowna and a job with TELUS. He and Sharon bought their first of many homes together in 1994, and brought home their first â&#x20AC;&#x153;childâ&#x20AC;?, Katie, a year later. In 2003, after 33 years of service, Bob retired from the telecommunications industry. Retirement was spent traveling to Hawaii in the falls, mowing lawns and laying by the pool in the summers, as well as spreading cheer (and groans) via email jokes throughout the year. He survived a major health scare in 2007, which forced some serious lifestyle changes on him, but he took them all in stride and surpassed all expectations. Sadly, a different disease would take his life in less than four weeks after diagnosis. May 14, 2015, after a very brief struggle with Cancer, Bob passed away peacefully. He is survived by his â&#x20AC;&#x153;darlingâ&#x20AC;? Sharon, sisters Lois (Bill) Seggie, Phyllis (Peter) Fletcher, â&#x20AC;&#x153;kidsâ&#x20AC;? Maggie, Jake, Abby and countless extended family and friends. There will be no service, by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the North Okanagan Hospice Society would be appreciated, and remembrances may be sent to the family at mauimama@shaw.ca
