News WEST KELOWNA

Bush blaze serves as forest fire wakeup call Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

With heat records being set, dry weather and strong winds at times, the threat of fire is growing in the Central Okanagan. That threat was made clear Monday with a small grass fire that ignited near houses in West Kelowna. Because of the potential for a much bigger problem, West Kelowna fire crews were quick to jump on the blaze, which grew to about one hectare thanks to the strong winds and extreme temperature Monday afternoon. While there were homes in the area, none were damaged or evacuated as a result of the

fire and there were no reported injuries. According to West Kelowna Fire Chief Jason Brolund, the grass fire was located on Bear Creek Road, near Scott Crescent. Brolund said his department dispatched about 20 firefighters and four trucks to the scene to make sure the blaze was knocked down quickly. Brolund said Monday’s fire was also a good reminder to the public to have personal emergency plans in place and to talk about them with family. “I was hoping that everyone in the neighbourhood would discuss it at the dinner table last night,” he said. Because the area where the fire started has older homes

built among trees, Brolund said that area of West Kelowna has “a bit of a target on it” for his crews. “We have done a fair amount of planning and training in the area,” said the fire chief. While some homeowners there have taken preventative measures, such as replacing shake roofs with more fire resistant ones and cleaning up their yards, others have not and that’s a concern for fire crews. On Tuesday, the forest fire danger rating rose to high from moderate and is expected to rise again to extreme in the next few days as the weather stays hot. On Monday, the Central Okanagan set a record for the

hottest June 8 since 1948 when the thermometer recorded 34.9 C. The previous record was 32 C. Another record was expected to fall yesterday, when a high of 33 was predicted, just above the previous record of 32.8 set in 1969. In total, 14 temperature records were broken in B.C. Monday, with most in the Southern Interior. Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells said records were broken in the Southern Interior from throughout the Okanagan Valley to the Shuswap and the West Kootenays. She said the current hot, dry weather here is expected to continue until Friday when a

cold front will move south from the Chilcotin and bring with it much cooler temperatures, some cloud and possibly the odd rain shower later in the day. She said while there would likely be strong winds late Thursday night as the cold front moves in, there is not expected to be any lightening associated with the change because it’s just too dry. The temperature on the weekend is expected to drop down to around 21 C, much closer to the seasonal normal temperature of 23 C for early June. The long-range forecast for Western Canada is predicting warmer and dryer weather than normal in July and August.

Gordon Leverington has given blood so many times, he has lost track of the number of donations. Officially with Canadian Blood Services, he has made 165 donations, with his latest on Monday to help kick off National Blood Donor Week in Kelowna. “But it’s probably more like 300 because I used to donate with the Red Cross but they lost all my records,” laughed the 77-year-old Kelowna man when asked about his prolific donation record. Leverington, who said he started giving blood as a teenager, said he shows up to donate every 56 days—the minimum waiting period allowed between donations. And why does he still do it after all these years? For the same reason he started, he says: “Because it has to be done. There’s a real need.” Leverington said he

will continue to donate as long as he is healthy and the CSB will take his blood. And there is no shortage of recipients who need donors like Leverington. According to CSB, only four per cent of Canadians donate blood but half of all Canadians will either need a blood transfusion sometime in their life or know someone who will. It is estimated that CSB needs to find 100,000 new donors just to meet the growing demand. “That’s staggering,” said Kelowna city councillor Maxine DehHart, who, as acting mayor, was on hand with council colleagues Luke Stake, Mohini Singh and Brad Sieben Monday to help with the kick-off. Both Stack and Seiben donated while they were there, Stack for the 17th time and Sieben receiving his first-time donor pin. Those gathered at the Kelowna clinic heard from Dan Maja, whose

went there. And he will continue to do so, not just for his child but for everyone else who needs blood. While there are steps that have to be taken for the screening of patients and a questionnaire to be filled out, the actual process of giving blood is quite painless and quick said the donors on hand

Monday. DeHart said she was shocked to discover that having holidayed in Mexico in 2014, she could not give blood for a year after her return. But Gayle Voyer of CSB said while there are a number of places in the world that the rule also applies to, it is done to maintain the safety of the

blood donation program. To learn more about how to donate blood, call 1-888-2-DONATE or look up www.blood.ca. National Blood Donor Week runs June 8-14 and this year, donors are being encouraged to tell the world via social media using the hashtag #sharemore.

Interior Health CEO plans to step down Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

The help wanted sign is going up at Interior Health—and the job to be filled is right at the top. IH president and CEO Robert Halpenny has told the health authority’s board of directors he plans to resign in the fall of to “pursue other opportunities.” “While I will miss the role and especially the people I interacted with each day, it is time for me to pursue other opportunities and for a new CEO to lead Interior Health and our committed, passionate health professionals forward,” he said. Halpenny has led Interior Health since January 2010. IH board chairman Erwin Malzer praised Halpenny for the job he has done as CEO. “He has driven transformative change across the organization with a primary focus on quality improvement in all activities of the health authority,” said Malzer. “There is not a facility, program or service within Interior Health that does not have his legacy stamped on it.” Malzer said the IH board has appointed a search committee to direct the process to find a successor to Halpenny, who will remain on the job until this fall.

On Sunday, hundreds of motorcycles will form a progression through the Okanagan in support of awareness and research for prostate cancer.

This year the challenge is to raise the number of pledges of your age. So if you’re 46 years old, you have $30 (for registration, which mainly pays for costs such as insurance) and $46 in pledges. That doesn’t take much.” Bob Charron, Motorcycle Ride for Dad co-chair The bikers will be participating in Kelowna’s seventh annual Motorcycle Ride for Dad, which saw 455 riders raise $38,991 last year. Co-chair Bob Charron said they have seen a

While the number of participants in the ride has tripled since it began, Charron believes too few men are getting checked for prostate cancer. He said only 20 to 22 per cent of men have regular checks done, and they

want that to reach 100 per cent. The ride can provide a reminder or encouragement for men to get checked, and Charron would like to see the ride have an annual increase of five to 10 per cent in both riders and the amount of money they raise. He noted there is a simple way to see that

financial goal achieved this year. “We have pledge forms and like any other event we encourage our riders to go out and get pledges,” he explained. “This year the challenge is to raise the number of pledges of your age. So if you’re 46 years old, you have $30 (for registration, which mainly pays for costs such as insurance) and $46 in pledges. That doesn’t take much.” Last year 62 per cent of the riders gave just the registration fee, and Charron said if they each gave their age as well, the ride would easily surpass his goal of raising $50,000 towards prostate cancer research and awareness. Last year saw a $12,000 increase in the amount raised by the ride, and Charron doesn’t see any reason they can’t do that again this year. The ride will start through Kelowna at 10 a.m. June 14, with an RCMP escort before heading across the bridge to West Kelowna, and from there to Oliver, then Penticton and finally back to Kelowna. Last year the 445 riders rode in pairs, creating a procession that was 3 1/2 miles long.

When Cassie Bonthoux, the owner of Duke & Duchess Apparel on Pandosy Street in Kelowna, received a call from an unknown number at 4:30 Friday morning, she ignored it while wondering who would be calling her at that hour. But when her fiancé’s phone rang moments later, she knew something was happening. Within minutes, Bonthoux learned her store had been broken into. When she got there she found at least 20 pairs of jeans, the majority of which were G-Star of Laguna Beach brands, had been stolen. Those jeans had an approximate wholesale value of $139 to $230, and while Bonthoux is covered by insurance she still has to pay the $1,000 deductible to make a claim. The theft was caught entirely on camera, and was committed by a lone male wearing a mask. Before breaking into the store by shattering

Pandosy store owner believes street construction a factor behind robbery

Duke & Duchess Apparel store owner Cassie Bonthoux believes the road construction in front of her Pandosy Street store may have led to it being a target for theft last week after closing time. the glass door with a hammer, he appeared several hours earlier with a few other men looking into the window. Bonthoux noted it was obvious to her he had been to the store before as he knew exactly where to find the jeans, which were the most valuable items in the store. Pandosy Street is currently undergoing construction, and Bonthoux believes that may have been part of the reason for the

robbery. “I really think we were targeted because of the construction,” she explained. “The road’s closed so there is no traffic and nobody around. So I think it was pretty easy for him to pick out a location.” While this was the first time Duke & Duchess has been broken into, it wasn’t the first time Bonthoux has dealt with theft. She estimated thieves have entered the store during store hours

and either ran or sneaked out with merchandise just shy of 10 times in the store’s two-year existence—and she is tired of dealing with the issue. “I’m really upset about it, my fiancé is really upset about it,” she said. “This takes a big toll on us, we’re just a small local business. “We’ve put everything we have into the store. “Having theft, it’s just really upsetting.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

Are Conservative MPs getting nervous? Last week, federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay announced his intended departure from politics with Prime Minister Stephen Harper at his side. MacKay becomes the latest on a worrying list of Conservative cabinet ministers to head to potentially greener pastures in recent months. Since his retirement in February, John Baird, the former foreign affairs minister, is sitting pretty on Barrick Gold Corp.’s international advisory board, as a director with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. and as an investment advisor to a Chinese billionaire. MacKay, rather than hint at lucrative opportunities in the private sector, instead focused on his family as the reason for departure. (A cynic might argue that the 49-year-old was partly motivated by about $1.3 million in pension benefits that he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to claim under new MP retirement rules passed in 2013. Those rules will mean all politicians elected after the next election must wait until age 65, up from age 55, before they can draw a pension.) MacKay’s planned departure says a great deal about the broken state of Canadian politics. The outcome of the Alberta election, if it foreshadows anything about the public’s mood towards the relentless Harper-Mulcair-Trudeau battle, reveals a country that perhaps has finally seen through the Conservatives’ false claims that Canada will economically crumble if another party gains power. MacKay was mostly a blip on the political screen, trotting proudly beside a leader who continues to reshape our country into a thing desired mostly by bankers and investors, spooks and multinationals. Perhaps MacKay is disillusioned, as many Canadians are, by Harper’s relentless agenda. Perhaps the minister senses that change is in the wind, a view held by many political strategists who understand that the Canadian public likely can’t stomach the rapid deviations on environmental and social policies whipped through Parliament under the guise of safety and economic viability. The public’s mood will remain cynical until the October election, and Harper cabinet dropouts like MacKay are simply adding fuel to that fire.

Good leader leaves few ripples No one person can—or should— City get all the credit for Confidential what happens in a huge organization ALISTAIR employing thousands WATERS of people, covering a expansive geographical area and carrying out plans years in the making. But, with the announcement that Robert Halpenny, president and CEO of the Interior Health Authority, is planning to step down in the fall, a tip of the cap is due to the man who has overseen a number of remarkable additions to health care not only in the Central Okanagan but throughout the Southern Interior. Under Halpenny’s watch, billions of dollars have been pumped into the system, creating better facilities, programs and services across the health region. Nowhere has that been more evident than in Kelowna, where Kelowna General Hospital has had a number of remarkable—and expensive—additions, including a new six-storey patient care tower, the arrival of a full cardiac care program and an accompanying building to house it, a new technical and laboratory building, medical school and other infrastructure. Of course it has not all been smiles during the 5 1/2 years that Halpenny has been in charge. Some communities in the region feel they have had medical services unfairly taken away, others feel neglected and even the folks who do the laundry are upset with Interior Health, fearing they are about to see their jobs contracted out to firms in either the Lower Mainland or Alberta.

But there is no arguing that when he leaves in the fall, Halpenny will hand over a health authority that is bigger, more complex, and many would argue better equipped, than the one he took over in 2010. One of the more low-key, top-level bureaucrats in the city, Halpenny, a medical doctor who worked for IH for three years before assuming the top spot, is often quick to credit others for the buck that ultimately stops on his desk. In announcing his departure, he cited the more than 20,000 employees of IH, saying it was a privilege to lead them. The Interior Health board now has some big shoes to fill in replacing him, just as it did in 2010 when his predecessor Murray Ramsden stepped down. But, with the level of talent at IH, it would not be surprising to discover that the next president and CEO is already working for the health authority. And like any large, public service, the organization will likely not miss a beat as it replaces the man at the top. And that is possibly Halpenny’s greatest contribution to Interior Health, the fact that such a large, complex organization can deal with major change without huge upheaval. As was the case when KGH opened its new patientcare tower a few years ago, the change appeared seamless, despite than fact entire departments were moved and many patients were relocated. A health authority cannot stop functioning just because one person leaves—even if that person is the man in charge.

Wonderful country yes, but disagree it’s well managed

To the editor: In the May 28 Capital News, Gertrude Sawatzky’s letter of the week gave Prime Minister Stephen Harper a glowing report in managing our country and how grateful she said she was for living in such a beautiful country. I agree, we have a wonderful country, but well managed? I disagree. Unfortunately, we are governed by the rich in a dictatorial, nondemocratic system. Consider these facts: • There has been a 25 per cent increase in the number of food banks in Canada over the past five years • In 2013, the Kelowna Community Food Bank fed more than 40,000 people, 11,000 being children. The only effort to help these people has been through charity, which can be both humiliating to the recipients and a Band Aid solution at best to a problem that our politicians have little to correct beyond encouraging charitable efforts. These stats were also published in a recent MacLean’s magazine article: Youth unemployment in Canada has reached 15.2 per cent, the highest in two decades; 42 per cent of Canadians between the ages of 20 and 29 still live with their parents; a university degree no longer promises employment after graduation and imposes a substantial debt on the graduate.

We require more than just raising the minimum wage to solve our problems. Our whole money system is flawed, controlled by the rich who pay themselves exorbitant salaries. There needs to be more control on the distribution of our dollars. We must eliminate the loopholes that allow trillions of dollars to leave our country for tax evasion purposes. I would love to see Canada become a model that other countries could follow. We have a country rich in natural resources. We can be totally self sufficient. There is no need to give away our resources for other countries to capitalize on using slave labour. Excessive earning can be eliminated by effective taxation. While many feel threatened by that idea, in reality it could improve the standard of living for most workers. All of us deserve a good quality of life with all the available luxuries. Legislation can also limit the practice of businesses that limit full-time employment by hiring part-time workers. There needs to be a level playing field for our businesses to compete with imported products produced by inhumane factories. I pray to see a plan that our country treats all of its people fairly and equally. Our common goal should be to work in harmony, together and truly proud to be a united nation. Togetherness is power.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Sore Feet?

Why has Cannan voted against 778-484-2688 anti-violence legislation? STOP SMOKING KELOWNA CROSSING (BY COSTCO) 140-2463 Hwy 97

To the editor: One in three Canadian women will face sexual assault in their lifetime. Kelowna has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in B.C. Karen Mason, executive director at Kelowna Women’s Shelter was recently quoted saying: ‘We are full most of the time; we see women and children in need of protection, every day, yet rape crisis centres and domestic violence shelters across Canada remain underfunded. The federal government does not have a stand-alone policy on intimate partner violence or sexual assault.” Regretfully, our local Kelowna-Lake Country Conservative MP Ron Cannan doesn’t consider ending violence against women a priority. Recently, he voted against Anti-violence Against Women legislation. Bill M-444, put forward by Niki Ashton of the NDP, which included a National Action Plan to address Violence Against Women. This legislation has been enacted with great success in other countries such as the US, UK and Australia. Cathay Gibson, Kelowna

In their long running quest to screw up every bit of traffic that they can, they have decided that the two way left turn lane on Benvoulin needs some modification.

To the editor: Summer is finally here, but as the days are getting longer and warmer, noise levels produced by power boats, trucks and motorcycles with inadequate or no mufflers are getting louder.

news _____________________________________________________________________

The reported dumping of an abandoned camper on Postill Lake Road near Ellison last week sparked a wave of reaction. Outdoor enthusiasts vented their frustration while Regional District of the Central Okanagan staff were left scurrying to deal with the mess with the assistance of one community-minded business. Regional waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart said her office only learned of the abandoned camper

through a forum about it on the Internet. “It’s a beautiful wilderness corridor that’s heavily frequented by outdoor groups and nature enthusiasts, so for someone to sully it with their garbage is a real travesty. And the longer the camper sits there, the worse,”Stewart said. “Unfortunately, garbage begets more garbage. Some people see a pile and think they can just add to it.” So Stewart was thankful that Mario’s

Towing in Kelowna came forward to volunteer to tow away the abandoned camper to the Glenmore landfill where it will be disposed of properly. “Mario’s is offering their services for the day, and we hugely appreciate their support. This kind of removal job will require heavy equipment, and plenty of manpower to get it gone. It’s just so frustrating that such a careless act has led to this,” Stewart said. According to Stewart, illegal dumping is sadly

all too common and can take many forms— an abandoned vehicle, bush party leftovers, even someone inappropriately dumping yard waste. “Not only is it an ugly blight on nature, but the mess left behind can also create wildfire and other environmental hazards, not to mention endangering wildlife,” she said. “Plus it’s immensely costly to clean up, most often at taxpayer’s expense.” There is a process to allow the public to fight back against illegal dumping. Start by filling in an online report form at regionaldistrict.com/ reportillegaldumping or call the Regional Waste Reduction Office at 250469-6250. Be sure to include a detailed description of the area (or GPS coordinates) for the illegal dump site; the size of the dump site; the type of items that were dumped and information on how the regional waste reduction office can contact you (all information will remain confidential).

The Get to Know Program has been inspiring connections between children and nature in the outdoors for over a decade across the Okanagan. A big part of that effort is the annual Wild Festival For Youth, this year taking place Thursday, June 11, in Kelowna at Okanagan College, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Activities planned will include a live birds of prey show, birdhouse building and painting, a nature hike and learning how to fish. The organization was founded in 1999 by renowned naturalist and painter Robert Bateman and current director Kelowna resident Mary Krupa-Clark, with the dream that children would have opportunities to get to know the names of their wild neighbours. This is particularly important as sedentary lifestyle detached from nature can have a negative effect on the learning development of children.

Fat Cat was moved to the second week in June, relocated to Waterfront Park and a second day added to cater to local school students. Although open to the public on both Friday and Saturday, the school program on Friday encourages teachers to bring their students for a phenomenal learning opportunity and fun field trip. This year, a record high 1,884 students are expected to attend the festival. For the public, the event is open and offers many hands-on learning opportunities and fun activity stations as well as the fantastic performances. Admission to the festival is $5 per person, or $15 for a party of four. Early Bird passes are available at Interior Savings for $10 for a party of four. “We have really found Friday to be a great day for families with younger kids, or those who have siblings that are coming through the school program,” said Dorothee Birker.

Sports TRACK AND FIELD

Bergman chases down B.C. gold whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

EVAN SEAL/ BLACK PRESS

With only limited training time on his side due to an ankle injury, Sean Bergman had modest expectations for the 2015 B.C. high school track and field championships. In the end, the Grade 11 student from KSS was anything but average en route to winning the gold medal in the senior boys’ 2000 metre steeplechase. Bergman’s time of 5 minutes 55. 3 seconds on Friday at provincials in Langley was a full 90 seconds better than the runner-up. Bergman and his coach, Nate Reiter, were both understandably pleased with the outcome. “With so little training, it was a little unexpected,” Reiter said of Bergman’s win. “Sean ran an awesome race and really performed beyond expectations.” The performance pushes Bergman a big

step closer to a berth at the world youth track and field championships next month in Cali, Columbia. Bergman hopes his name will be included when Canada announces its national youth team on June 21. “As you get older, it gets harder and harder to make a national team, so this would be huge for me,” said Bergman, 16. “This is my best chance so far and it would mean a lot to me.” For someone who treated running as more of a hobby when he started out four years ago, Bergman is beginning to realize his full potential. His latest effort has Bergman ranked as the No. 1 youth competitor in the country in steeplechase. “(Sean) is an exceptional racer and tough as nails,” Reiter said. “He has so much talent and potential, it would be a big step for him to make the national team.”

Mt. Boucherie’s Jacob Bourchier (middle) set a personal best en route to a bronze medal in the junior boys 3000 metres.

Kelowna Secondary’s Sean Bergman (middle) won gold in the senior boys 2000 metre steeplechase at the B.C. high school track and field championships in Langley. On Saturday at provincials, Bergman ran in the 3000 metres and placed sixth. Meanwhile, OKM’s Adam Murray placed sixth the steeplechase. In the senior girls’ steeplechase, Mt. Boucherie’s Veronika Fagan won the provincial bronze medal for the second straight year, finishing in a time of 5:10.68. In junior boys competition, Mt. Boucherie’s Jacob Bourchier, 16, chose an ideal time to run his personal best in the 3,000 metres. Bourchier’s time of 9:13.86 was good enough for the bronze medal. “He raced exceptionally

well,” Reiter said of Bourchier’s performance in the 3,000. “Rather than sitting back, he was aggressive, he put himself in a good position and did a great job to finish it off.” Kelowna Secondary’s Austin Sandrin reached the podium in the senior boys’ discus, winning the bronze medal with a PB. Sandrin also placed seventh in javelin. Alex Taylor of KSS finished fourth in the junior boys 200 metres. Last month at the B.C. combined events championships, Taylor won the silver medal in the boys decathlon. Nick Cornell of KSS placed fifth in the junior boys’ discus with a PB, while Joel Aitken of Dr.

Knox was fifth in the junior boys 300 metre hurdles. In the junior girls 100 metres, Knox’s Bryn Walsh placed sixth. Among other highlights for Okanagan athletes, Vernon’s Hannah Bennison won gold in the senior girls’ 3000 metres in record time, breaking former Mt. Boucherie runner Brenda Shackleton’s provincial mark from 1984.

MARTIN, WRIGHT LEAD GRADE 8S…

Glenrosa’s Dane Martin and Hailey Wright of Dr. Knox Middle School each returned home from the provincial track and field championships with three medals in the Grade 8 division.

Martin struck gold in both the long jump (5.71m) and high jump (1.80m) and added a bronze medal in the javelin. Wright captured the Grade 8 girls 100 metres in 13.21 seconds, and added a silver in the 200 metres. She then teamed up with Jane Blackwell, Paige Watson and Kenaysha Lyder as the Dr. Knox team won gold in the 4 by 100 relay, setting a B.C. record in the process. OKM’s Muriel Stroda won silver in the 80 metre hurdles and added a fourth in the high jump. Last month, Stroda won silver in the Grade 8 girls pentathlon at the B.C. combined events championships.

The Kelowna Falcons host the Yakima Valley Pippins tonight in the second of a three-game set between the West Coast League clubs. First pitch at Elks Stadium is 6:35 p.m. The Falcons and Pippins will wrap up the series on Thursday night. In a special promotion for Thursday’s game, kids wearing their minor ball jerseys to the game will be admitted free. The Falcons and Pippins met last night in the Falcons’ traditional free home opener, however a final score wasn’t available at press time. Check kelownacapnews. com for details. Kelowna got a good jump on the 2015 season over the weekend, taking two of three games from the hometown Victoria Harbourcats. The Falcons showed some offensive flair in the second and third games with a combined 26 hits and four home runs. Coached for the second season by Billy Clontz, Kelowna will remain at home for the weekend when they host the Medford Rogues for a three-game series beginning Friday. Sunday’s game goes at 6:05 p.m.

After coming out on the short end of a four-game series with the high-flying Victoria Eagles, the Okanagan Athletics will face another test this weekend in B.C. Premier Baseball League action. The sixth-place A’s (1711) will visit the thirdplace Langley Blaze (198) for doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday.

Pair of new coaches for Kelowna Chiefs The Kelowna Chiefs have added a pair of new faces to their coaching staff. Ryan Jorde and Lennie Rampone will assist head coach Jason Tansem next season as the KIJHL club increases its focus on player development. “We felt we needed to bolster our program even further in the areas of player skill development, power skating, and coaching experience,” said Chiefs’ GM Grant Sheridan. “These two additions will support Tansem in all those

Ryan Jorde

areas and allow players to receive even more coaching to enhance their development.” Born and raised in Kelowna, Jorde spent the past four years with the Pursuit of Excellence

Academy where he was both an assistant coach and head coach. Jorde went on to play parts of five seasons in the WHL with the Tri-City Americans, Lethbridge Hurricanes and Moose Jaw Warriors. He was drafted and signed by the Buffalo Sabres in 2001, and spent 10 seasons in the AHL and IHL, plus two years in Europe. Also a local product, Rampone played his minor hockey in Kelowna. He led the Vernon Vipers to the 1999 Royal Bank Cup national

championship as their captain. Rampone then went on to play college hockey at St. Norbert College where he captained the school’s hockey team and earned a Bachelor of Business Administration. Since finishing his playing career, Rampone has coached in both Kelowna and Calgary. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have signed three new forwards for the upcoming 2015-16 season—Jeffrey Schlegel, Jaden McNulty and Kohlman Brinksy.

Schlegel, from Oyama, spent last season with the Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget League. McNulty, a Kelowna native, suited up for the Kelowna midget tier 1 Rockets during the 201415 hockey season. Brinksy, from Dawson Creek, played with the NEBC and Yukon District Trackers. “We are thrilled to be adding these three high end players this early in the team selection process,” said Chiefs coach Jason Tansem.

Her work and research focuses on theory, computation, and data analysis of planets orbiting stars far from our own solar system. Two posthumous degrees were also conferred. Roshan Thomas was nearing completion of a PhD in curriculum studies through the faculty of education. She researched ways to include the voices of women in designing curriculum for early childhood development programs that takes into consideration the values and culture of the Afghani people. Thomas died in an attack on the Serena Hotel in Afghanistan in March 2014. River Sidley, of Rossland, passed away suddenly on December 9, 2014, at the Bamfield Marine Science Centre. He was in his fifth

year of a bachelor of science degree which was conferred during convocation for the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. The River Sidley Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established, supporting an annual award for a fourth- or fifth-year student from UBC Okanagan applying to the Bamfield Marine Science Centre.

John Kot, president of Kelowna Hyundai and Buy Direct Truck Centre, presented a $100,000 donation last week towards the Be a Lifesaver campaign. The campaign is raising funds for the new Interior Heart & Surgical Centre (IHSC). So far, the campaign has raised $10.8 million towards lifesaving surgical equipment at the IHSC, set to open in September 2015. The donation comes at the end of the second annual Operation 200 campaign. The goal of Operation 200 is to sell 200 vehicles between both dealerships, in 30 days. In order to reach their goal, both dealerships have marked down all cars, trucks and SUVs by thousands to guarantee they reach their target. For Kot, it’s a cause that is close to the heart. At a young age, his daughter Janessa required lifesaving heart surgery. Now 19 years old, Janessa is healthy, but will need another surgery to fix her heart valve, a procedure which will likely take place in Kelowna instead of having to travel out of town. “Supporting the local community is important

It took five convocation ceremonies over two days, to confer degrees on more than 1,600 students from UBC Okanagan. Among them is Caitlyn Makins, recipient of the Governor General’s Gold Medal Award for top graduate student. She was conferred a PhD in biochemistry and microbiology from the Irving K.

Quick-look fact sheets offer help with staff benefit issues Each province has an Employment Standards Act that each business that hires employees needs to follow. It is quite a comprehensive act and contains a ton of information, which is why I need to refer to it often when answering questions for my clients. Luckily, the Employment Standards website now has factsheets which are an explanation of the act regarding certain issues in layman’s terms. For example, when you

Interesting Facts About Mist Cooling Did you know that mist cooling can aid in the production of milk and eggs? It’s true, the animals bodies are using a lot of energy to produce and their bodies create more heat because of it. During times of high temperatures these poor animals can be extremely susceptible to heat distress. Often we complain about the temperature when it is very hot, however our pets and livestock cannot vocalize their distress or displeasure as we can. A mist cooling system for your corral or livestock pens can help these animals during periods of high heat. The mist cooling also helps to deter flying insects, dust and odors. Mist cooling works to remove heat from the surrounding air. Tiny water droplets are forced through fine nozzles, the water droplets absorb the energy(heat) in the air and evaporate, cooling the air. If you are interested in mist cooling systems please do not hesitate to contact our staff or drop in to see us.

employee has worked less than a year and at least three months, the compensation is one week’s pay. If the employee has worked more than a year, then compensation is two week’s pay and after three years, its three weeks pay plus an additional weeks pay for each additional year worked up to eight weeks. If the employee quits, you need to pay all outstanding monies within six calendar days including any time banked. Many employers are now using direct deposits to pay their employees, but are

you and the employer can communicate and come to a satisfactory resolution. If not, you can then open a formal complaint with the department. Then if the department is unable to resolve the issue to your satisfaction there is still the legal route. Did you know that any deductions from an employee’s paycheque other than the regular statutory deductions must be agreed to by the employee in writing? These other deductions might be union dues, donations, pension plan, extended health and dental and family maintenance payments. One thing for employers to note is that

now that the CRA has exchange of information agreements with other government bodies, I wouldn’t be surprised if Employment Standards was one of these bodies, so if your case does get investigated by the department, there is a good chance that a CRA audit could follow. If you are faced with an employee issue or are thinking of hiring employees, please contact your accountant for assistance.

neglecting to provide a ‘pay statement’ which is in direct contravention of the act. Every employee is required to receive a pay statement with each pay and there are strict guidelines as to what is required to be shown on the pay statement. Employment Standards also has an excellent online complaint system for employees. It is a step-by –step system that allows you to first determine if your issue is something that falls under the act. The second step is to send a form to the employer that lists the money that you think you are owed. The employer has 15 calendar days to reply. Hopefully at this point,

CENTRAL OKANAGAN WEATHER FORECAST Duane English & Wesla Wong

The Okanagan’s Weather Team

Support the battle against mosquitoes

This week’s rain, followed by warming temperatures and sunshine could result in a new batch of mosquitoes buzzing around the Central Okanagan. Since early April, crews have been monitoring and treating mosquito larvae in more than 190 known breeding locations across the region. Residents are encouraged to join the fight by removing potential mosquito breeding areas around their properties. “Please remove standing water sources and any unused items that collect water such as old tires,” said Bruce Smith, spokesman for the RDCO. “Rain barrels should be covered with a screen to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs in the water. As well, drain standing water from saucers under plant pots or garbage cans. “At least two times a week change the water in birdbaths, wading pools and pet bowls since mosquito larvae can also develop in them. “Remove water that gathers in unused swimming pools and on swimming pool covers and aerate water in ponds or add fish that will eat mosquito larvae.” Residents in Kelowna, Lake Country, Central Okanagan East and West Electoral Areas and a small section of West Kelowna Estates can report mosquito concerns to 1-866-679-8473. Under contract with the Regional District, BWP Consulting Inc. conducts all larval mosquito control within these participating areas of the regional district.

OC trades training PERSONAL INJURY LAW campaign tops $4M When inattentive driving becomes the norm The fundraising campaign for Okanagan College’s new trades training complex has raised more than $4 million toward its $7-million goal, with support from every corner of the Okanagan. OC president Jim Hamilton said the support for the $33-million renovation and expansion project illustrates the extensive network of donors and industry partners working with the college to make education accessible to a diverse array of learners. “From large organizations to families to our own staff and students, the depth of support for this project demonstrates the value our community places on education,” said Hamilton. The Bright Horizons Building for Skills campaign launched in October 2014 with the goal of raising $5 million for capital construction and $2 million for new programming and student support, topping up the B.C. government’s $28 million. OC began the renovation and expansion last June, in anticipation of the demand for trades and technically trained workers as baby boomer retirements loom. The Province of British Columbia predicts that of the one million job openings expected by 2022 in B.C., 430,000 will require trades or technical training. “This campaign is about much more than building classrooms and labs and hallways,” said campaign chair Dennis Gabelhouse. “It’s about opening doors for people through education and helping young people get a trade they can use to build a life for themselves and their families.” Industry support helped the campaign build early momentum. A $500,000 donation from KF Aerospace landed in December and the valley’s auto dealers have collectively pledged more than $600,000, with many other businesses outside of the trades sector also supporting the project, such as financial groups like D.K.L. Financial, which gave $50,000 and law firms like Pushor Mitchell, which donated $30,000. One of the most inspiring gifts came when the Okanagan College Students’ Union pledged $100,000 in February. To learn more about the campaign’s current and opportunities to get involved, see okanagan.bc.ca/ campaign.

I back out of my driveway every morning at about 5:15 a.m. Traffic on that quiet street at that time of the morning is rare. This morning, just as my back bumper is meeting the curb, a little red car comes screaming around the slight bend in the street from my right side, the red car almost hugging the curb. The driver is not expecting anyone to be backing out of their driveway so early in the morning on that quiet street. With neither of us expecting to encounter the other, it is a horrible coincidence of vehicle placement and movement—the wrong place at the wrong time. What are the odds? When we first learn to drive, a parent or a professional driving instructor teach us to expect the unexpected. Each of us is an anxious hawk, watching out for anything ahead of us to go wrong. We drive defensively, eliminating the risk of such a horrible coincidence occurring. We drive at a safe speed down residential streets, watching intently for any

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

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

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

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

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

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT sign of a vehicle backing out or a child chasing a ball, even though it’s the early morning. The more we drive without encountering extremely low probability events like a vehicle backing out of their driveway at the exact, coincidental moment that would result in a crash, the less anxious we become. More and more, our minds go to other things like our upcoming day at work. The lower and lower our anxiety, the lower and lower our attentiveness. Our increasingly inattentive driving is reinforced every time we get behind the

wheel and there is no crash. From time to time we are snapped to attention by a close call. The coincidence of vehicle placement and movement isn’t quite lined up perfectly like it was for me this morning and we are able to avoid a crash by hard braking swerving. Instead of returning us to being attentive, though, these close calls do the opposite. Perhaps we have a brief period of hawkish anxiety but we have learned that we are able to brake hard or swerve and avoid a crash, even though we were day dreaming. We are lulled into a deeper sense of complacency. Years of driving without encountering that horrible, perfect

coincidence of vehicle placement and movement that cannot be saved by hard breaking or swerving lead us to that autopilot mode of driving where we get to our destination and can’t really remember the drive. I am very lucky, as is the driver of the red car. Like most others, I got to that same place of autopilot driving over decades of driving. My saving grace has been my exposure, over the twenty years of my legal practice, to the circumstances and aftermaths of an unending series of crashes. I have seen, in vivid Technicolor, that all of those crashes occurred because of inattentiveness that we accept as part of our driving culture because it is totally workable most of the time. The growing realization

that inattentiveness is the most prolific cause of crashes has caused me to be a much more attentive driver who expects the unexpected. My attentiveness allowed me to easily stop this morning, allowing the red car to scream past the back of my bumper. I am certainly not unique. Many others drive with the requisite level of attentiveness that would eliminate the vast majority of car crashes. How do we change our driving culture to instill that level of attentiveness into all of us? Attentive driving takes work, and ‘doing the ‘10 and 2’ is a tools to help with that important job, something I advocate on my driver safety website OneCrashisTooMany.com.

BLACK MOUNTAIN Elementary School My Dinosaur Story Written by: Emily (Ms. Mimic’s Class) Long long ago there was a T-Rex named Ella. Ella lived in a thick forest! The other dinosaurs were scared of Ella! They thought she might eat them! Ella was so lonely. She just wanted friends. Ella went to the dinosaurs and she said, “Don’t worry I don’t eat dinosaurs! I’ll be a good friend!” The dinosaurs said no, but then they thought again. Then they said yes!! They told Ella their names. Then Ella told them her name! They played ice cream tag all day long. Ella was never lonely again.

Gardom Lake Fun!

Written by: Malia Y. Recently, the Grade 6 students had the amazing opportunity to camp at Gardom Lake. For three days we got to participate in many fun activities including: high ropes, rock climbing, archery, kayaking, and zip lining. A highlight for many students was seeing hundreds of turtles that are

an endangered species. All of the cabins made awesome skits that they performed to the group. From badgers to braid trains, the skits had plenty of laughs for everyone. Gardom Lake was a fun and challenging experience. What a great way to end our last year of elementary school. PHOTO: GRADE 6 STUDENTS

Track and Field 2015

On May 20, 2015 Black Mountain Elementary students in grades 4-6 went to the Apple Bowl to compete with Chief Tomat Elementary School. It was a very successful and fun day of running, throwing, and jumping. Ribbons were given out, and fun was had by all of our intermediate students. Congratulations to all BME students for showing great team spirit.

Cereal Box Books!

Following Literature Circles, student groups created a sequel for the book they were reading. Their cereal box book featured an illustration, book cover and comments from the author and readers.

Bike To School Week • Fun! Fun! It was recently Bike to School Week and our Black Mountain students did an amazing job as they walked, rode their bikes, and rode their scooters to school for three days. We had over 300 participants for the three days. Prizes were given out each day.

The grade 5 students have been busy finding inspirational quotes to help motivate them to be the absolute best that they can be. PHOTO: OLIVIA H.

Care and Make It Fair

Written by: Maryn W. Our grade 5 Care and Make it Fair team has come up with an amazing idea for spring. We wanted B.M.E. to spread some spring JOY! Beginning June 2 we started asking for donations of flowers, soil, and medium-large pots. Using these donations we plan on making potted arrangements. On June 12th, these potted plants will be donated to senior/ care homes that just need a little more joy! We care about our community, let’s help it grow together!

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Home sales market still active

Okanagan Lake and the moderate climate remain big attractions for recreational property buyers in the Central Okanagan region. CONTRIBUTED

Those ‘sold’ signs on properties across the Central Okanagan are not an allusion—the homes sales market continues to exceed last year’s monthly sales volumes. The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reports sales activity of all MLS property types remained strong in May 2015, saying confident local buyers continue to drive sales. While up marginally (1.6 per cent) from the same month last year and rising 12 per cent over April sales, the market showed a nine per cent improvement year-to-date compared to the same five-month period in 2014. “Despite a minor slowdown in some areas, residential sales in the Okanagan-Shuswap were steady in May and days on market continued to improve,” said Christopher Miller, “Overall, spring sales activity has been brisk to date. Well-positioned and well-presented homes are in demand and selling quickly in all markets within our OMREB area, and the houses sold were on market an average of 82 days during May compared to 106 last year at this time.” Within OMREB’s three diverse markets—

Central Okanagan, North Okanagan, and Shuswap-Revelstoke areas—sales activity and prices, and supply and demand tends to vary among property types at different times and locations, with ups and downs experienced zone-by-zone and month-by-month. While Alberta home buyers and retirees seem to have been only modestly affected by the recent decline in oil prices and continue to participate in 10 to 15 per cent of home sales in the region, especially in the Central Okanagan, the North Okanagan and Shuswap markets have experienced some pullback in activity from these segments. “Single family residential sales in the Central Okanagan remained at the same level as last May while year-to-date totals improved by 15 per cent over the same period last year,” Miller explained. “Inventory continues to be tight for all types of housing, resulting from high buyer demand and not enough new listings to fill the need.”

continued on page 3

Recreational housing market on the upswing again Kelowna’s reputation as a recreational property buyer’s paradise may have been tarnished a little during the slump in the local real estate market from 2011 to 2013. But according to a new survey of recreation property listings in B.C. done by Royal LePage, the Kelowna market is “extremely busy.” Of particular note, says Mark Walker, a sales representative with Royal LePage Kelowna, is the sales activity in the higher-end homes. “It’s been a great year for the recreational market, particularly lakefront properties,” Walker said. “In the last six months, we’ve seen a lot of lakefront property over

$2 million moving, which we haven’t seen in a long time.” Inventory levels are dropping, which Walker says is helping to normalize the market. A shortage of lakefront properties is making it a seller’s market for people looking to leave those homes. Walker says for buyers looking at waterfront properties with water access, or inland properties, the average price is sitting at $300,000. Meanwhile, standard waterfront properties are coming in at an average of $1.5 million. “People see waterfront properties as a sound real estate investment,

while condos are more of a lifestyle purchase,” said Walker. The Royal LePage report identifies typical buyers are married couples in their 40s and 50s with children. More Albertans have been buying properties in and around the Kelowna area, one of the main attractions being the moderate climate. Walker adds that Okanagan Lake remains a major magnet for buyer interest, as does the city’s infrastructure and services, the emergence of UBC Okanagan which attracts parents to buy properties for their children to live in during the school year and rent out in the summer.

Dave Liniger (left), chief executive officer, chairman and co-founder of Re/Max was joined by Adam Contos, Re/Max senior vice-president of marketing, in Kelowna last week to speak to a group of Re/Max broker owners and managers from across Western Canada at the CONTRIBUTED Manteo Resort.

Two options to avoid paying a penalty are to port the mortgage to the new property and have the purchaser assume your existing mortgage. PORTING THE MORTGAGE: The definition of “porting” the mortgage is to keep the existing terms and conditions and placing the mortgage over the new property. You will have the same interest rate, remaining term and amortization. In the event you require additional funds for the new purchase, the lender will “blend” the existing interest rate with the new interest rate on the extra funds for the purchase. For example, should you have three years remaining on the existing mortgage, balance of $200,000, interest rate of 3.50 per cent, remaining amortization of 22 years and a payment of $998.54, those terms will carry over to the new property. If you require an additional $100,000 with an interest rate of 2.69 per cent, the new funds will be added to the $200,000 for a new mortgage of $300,000 and your new blended interest will be somewhere between 2.69 and the original 3.5 per cent. The new payment for the total mortgage will be based on the blended interest rate, amount and term. It should not require new funds, the original terms and conditions of the existing mortgage will remain the same, as stated above. ASSUMING A MORTGAGE The definition of assuming your mortgage means the purchaser(s) of your home will take over the existing terms and conditions of your

mortgage. This will allow you to avoid the penalty and enable you to take out a new mortgage over the home you wish to purchase. When a buyer assumes your mortgage, pending the qualification aspects are met, you are released from any further obligations to that mortgage and you are removed from the title to that property. You will take out a new mortgage with a new amortization, interest rate

and term and will have the flexibility to take a closed, fixed rate mortgage for up to 10 years, an open mortgage, credit line or, in the case of some collateral mortgages, a combination of all three. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117; Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; and Christine Hawkins, 250826-2001.

In the Shuswap, single family home sales for the month improved by 50 per cent compared to May 2014 and saw a 20 per cent improvement year-todate as local buyers continue to snap up homes and drain inventory in the high $200,000 to low $300,000 range. Sales of high-end recreational and retirement properties have stalled with the absence of Alberta buyers.

For he Central Zone (Peachland to Lake Country) during May, overall sales of all property types were up minimally (0.5%) compared to 2014 but remained strong at 597 units (up from 594). Year-to-date sales activity was up 12.6% compared to the same period last year (January through May) to 2,259 units from 2,007 in 2014. Total residential sales for the month improved by 4.6% to 570 units compared to 545 in 2014.

The sale of 291 single family homes remained at the same level as last May (293), while apartment sales were up 25.8% (to 122 from 97), and townhouse sales remained steady at 95 units (same as in 2014). Average days to sell a single family home in the Central Okanagan in May was down to 56 days compared to 74 in 2014 while days to sell year-to-date averaged 65 days compared to 79 last year at this time.

The comedy duo of Kenny and Spenny—Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice—will bring their dueling comedy show to Kelowna Community Theatre on July 11.

Kenny vs. Spenny: May the best comic win

COMEDY Kenny Vs. Spenny Saturday, July 11 8 p.m. Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. KeyNote Productions and Train Wreck Comedy have teamed-up once again to bring Kelowna another great live comedy show—this time it’s two best friends and comedic rivals Kenny vs. Spenny will be live in Kelowna for one night only in a live headto-head competition to see who will be crowned champion and who will be forced to face major public humiliation. Kenneth “Kenny” Joel Hotz and Spencer “Spenny” Nolan Rice are lifelong friends, who challenged each other in various ways for years before they decided to film structured competitions and introduce consequences for losing. Kenny and Spenny have contrasting personalities, which have an impact on the way they approach each

Entertainment

IN THE LOOP competition. Kenny: A witty, wisecracker and brilliant schemer. Kenny’s a goofball looking for a shortcut. He loves to humiliate Spenny and will do anything to win. Spenny: A stressed out, neurotic, short-fused adult-type who believes in preparation and hard work. He’s responsible, often angry, introspective, paranoid and ethical. Just like the television show, the live event will feature challenges that are ridiculous, immature and totally intense. It can only end with one winner. The winner of the competition will assign a “humiliation”, a very embarrassing task that

the loser must perform. Tickets are available through selectyourtickets.com, in person at the Prospera Place box office or by phone at 250-760-5050.

ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

Melissa McCarthy stars as an unlikely CIA agent in Spy.

MELISSA MCCARTHY

Trademark humour evident in Spy While the plot of Spy, Movie Guy starring Melissa McCarthy, may sound familiar—a desk-bound CIA RICK DAVIS analyst is thrust into the field after the agency has no other choice but to do so —the reuniting of McCarthy and the director of Bridesmaids and The Heat is worth the price of admission. Spy has all the trappings of a spy movie—beautiful European locations and intense action while tracking down nuclear device. But add McCarthy’s trademark physical humour and you can expect something unique. Then add a supporting cast which includes the likes of Jude Law, Rose Byrne and Jason Statham (in his first comedic role that purportedly almost steals the movie away for the star), and McCarthy could end up with another hit on her hands. In the case of horror movies, one good scare deserves another (or two). That’s what the filmmakers behind Insidious Chapter 3 think, especially after the first two grossed

over $250 million worldwide. The third outing is actually a prequel, with Lin Shaye returning as parapsychologist Elise Rainier, who helped the Lambert family fight off evil in the first two movies. This time, she’s helping a father (Dermot Mulroney) exorcise a demon that has possessed his teenage daughter. Director Leigh Whannell, who appeared in the first two movies as Rainer’s assistant Specs, has a supporting role in this one as well. Based on the cult HBO series, Entourage reunites stars Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven picking up where the series left off. Movie star Vincent Chase (Grenier) gets his chance to direct a film when Ari Gold (Piven) becomes a studio head but things go awry when the movie goes over budget. Expect the usual antics from Vincent’s group of friends as well an insane amount of cameos from Hollywood types.

I am sure fans of the series will come out to see it, but will it capture the interest in the uninitiated? ••• Landmark Cinemas Encore is giving you another chance to see a great selection of movies starting on Friday at a great price. Encore opened last weekend with Disney’s Cinderella, the Reese Witherspoon/Sophia Vergara comedy Hot Pursuit, the cult scifi movie Ex Machina and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

1315 Water St. Kelowna 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.

You might think Clare Fleming has wings tucked into her shoes, the way she effortlessly flies into the splits midair. But no, there are no wings, just hours and hours and hours of training tucked under her belt that helped her soar to the top this past weekend in provincial competition. This was Clare’s fifth trip to compete at Performing Arts BC Provincials and she did Kelowna proud by being declared the winner in the most advanced Ballet III category. “It was such a great experience,” said the 17-year-old ballerina, “getting to dance with dancers from all across the province.” The competition involved being observed in daily dance classes for a week and performing two different solos. Clare danced the Dulcinea variation from Don Quixote and a contemporary piece choreographed by Ballet Victoria prima ballerina Andrea Bayne. Currently, Clare can be found training close to 30 hours a week in pursuit of her dream. In addition to her regular ballet classes at Canadian School of Ballet and dancing with Company B, she’s been taking company classes with Ballet Kelowna and then doing private lessons with both Chris Larsen and Melville Brown, of CSB, and Natasha Sarafanov, of Sarafanov Dance Studio. “I’m working as hard as I can,” said Clare of her busy zyear so farho still managed to remain on the principal’s list at Immaculata Regional High School

Those who went to see the Nutcracker last December will remember her as the gifted young dancer who performed the lead role of Clara. She also competed at the North American Youth Grand Prix Semi-finals last fall and has been invited to New York for the finals week. This summer, she’ll be off to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s summer school. Although she’s auditioned and been accepted several times in the past, this will be her first time attending. The two previous years, she’s opted to spend the summers in Toronto with the National Ballet’s summer program. She’s also geared up to do the Okanagan Summer Dance Intensive program again this year.

Money from this fund is also made available to provide assistance for the good and welfare of other children when finances are not available from other sources.

SEEING AN OPTOMETRIST

Vision loss complications can receive prompt attention A recent nationwide survey revealed that when faced with an eye emergency, most Canadians do not know they could contact a doctor of optometry, even though it could give them access to prompt, specialized care. The survey, conducted by the Mustel Group on behalf of Doctors of Optometry Canada, collected responses from 2,500 people across Canada. Many survey respondents said they would seek treatment from an optometrist for non-urgent eye care, such as having their vision checked or being tested for cataracts. A much smaller number—fewer than 20 per cent—said they would see an optometrist if they developed symptoms of an eye infection, or experienced an eye injury or foreign body in the eye.

“People are not taking advantage of this health resource because they don’t realize that optometrists have the training and equipment to treat a range of acute eye conditions, or that most can see patients the same day if the matter is deemed urgent,” said Kelowna-based optometrist Dr. Stephanie Strawn. “If you had a toothache, you’d likely go to the dentist. Yet, research shows that someone experiencing a red, irritated eye is more likely to head to a walk-in clinic.” According to the Canadian Institute for Health Research, more than 36,600 Canadians visited an emergency department in 2013/2014 seeking treatment for a common eye condition

Reliving our province’s history In a follow-up to his well-received Voices of British Columbia, Robert Budd returns with more captivating tales of the province’s pioneering past in the very words of the people who lived them. Those tales are part of his new book Echoes of British Columbia, which will be launched in Kelowna with a book signing on Saturday, 1 to 3 p.m., at Mosaic Books in downtown Kelowna. Between 1959 and 1966, the late CBC Radio journalist Imbert Orchard travelled across British Columbia with recording engineer Ian Stephen, conducting interviews with some of the province’s most remarkable and inspiring pioneers. The resulting collection contained 998 conversations totaling 2,700 hours of material—one of the largest oral history

collections in the world and a precious treasury of western heritage. In Echoes of British Columbia, author Budd skillfully renders some of the most entertaining and astonishing accounts from the Orchard collection into entrancing prose. There are tales about rawhiding to the Klondike; being rescued by the legendary Chief Capoose; of riding and racing horses standing up; of homesteading, birth and murder. Combining text, archival photographs and original sound recordings on three CDs, this collection brings the reader (and listener) in intimate contact with British Columbia’s past, deepening our understanding of the characters and events that shaped the province.

SEEING AN OPTOMETRIST

Trip to hospital ER not always necessary VISION FROM B7 called conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. Pink eye, which affects the surface of the eyeball and the inside of the eyelid, is the most common eye infection among children. It is also one of the top 10 causes of avoidable emergency department (ER) visits in Canada[1]. With average national ER wait times of more than four hours, patients are spending significant

time waiting for care that can be promptly delivered by visiting their optometrist. Patients visiting an optometrist for an urgent eye issue also benefit from the availability of specialized equipment allowing the optometrist to examine the exterior and interior of the eye. Most uncomplicated eye conditions can be resolved with the proper diagnosis and treatment. However, misdiagnosis of an eye infection or

UNDERSTANDING is more than just hearing

injury can have significant consequences, mainly from delaying treatment. “Many eye conditions present in a similar fashion, but they have different causes and treatments,” said Dr. Strawn. “Under the microscope, optometrists can differentiate between a bacterial or viral infection, or an allergic reaction, and can prescribe the appropriate medication. “Without access to this kind of technology, we would essentially have to make the diagnosis in the dark.” Using an upright microscope equipped with a high-intensity light called a slit-lamp, an optometrist can fully examine the exterior and interior of the eye, including the eyelid, sclera, conjunctiva, iris, natural crystalline lens, and cornea. A referral is not required to see an optometrist for either acute or preventive eye care. Patients requiring follow-up care with a secondary specialist, such as an ophthalmologist, can also be referred by an

optometrist. In many provinces, optometry visits for eye infections, eye injuries and other urgent eye care conditions are covered by the provincial health insurance plan. For more information on provincial coverage, visit opto.ca/sites/ default/files/resources/ documents/prov-healthcoverage-en-feb-2014. pdf. Other survey results: When Canadians were asked which healthcare professional they were most likely to seek out for a range of common eye health emergencies, fewer than one in five survey respondents chose a Doctor of Optometry. • 19 per cent for a foreign body in their eye (compared to 29 per cent who would go to a hospital ER) • 21 per cent for an eye injury (compared to 32 per cent who would go to a hospital ER) • 18 per cent for a small particle in their eye (compared to 28 per cent who would go to a family doctor) • 19 per cent for itchy or red eyes (compared to 49 per cent who would go to a family doctor)
